Chapter 307 The Great Enemy of Ancient Laws

Xiaoling Mountain was the scenic spot of Lingshan Mountain during the Buddhist Southern Expedition. It was used as a military camp at that time.

Later, the talent was divided between the north and the south, and this place turned into a tall mountain range, spanning the north and south, and it is still the base of a large number of Buddhist soldiers.

However, due to its dangerous terrain and direct confrontation with the Twelve Border Towns of the Southern Jin Dynasty, it can also be regarded as the "boundary mountain" between the north and the south.

A few years ago, in order to prevent monks from the Southern Jin Dynasty from sneaking into the Northern Wei Dynasty to steal ancient laws and regulations, the city on Xiaoling Mountain, a boundary mountain, was very tightly guarded.

Especially a year or two ago, when the public opinion war between the north and the south was at its most intense, the Northern Wei Dynasty was even more defensive.

They were afraid that the crisis publicity in the Southern Jin Dynasty would bring unexpected chaos to the Northern Wei Dynasty.

but.

As time goes by, the rules of the ancient law become more and more intense, and the foundation of the Northern Wei Dynasty becomes deeper and deeper. The monks are more and more aware of the profoundness of the ancient law, and they are becoming more and more confident.

Especially recently, more and more monks have made use of the ancient rules to improve their cultivation by leaps and bounds. Even the power of magic weapons and exercises has been magnified countless times. All the monks in the Northern Wei Dynasty have become unprecedentedly confident.

It is no exaggeration to say that more and more monks have begun to no longer take the Southern Jin Dynasty monks seriously.

As the first batch of beneficiaries who single-handedly promoted the return of ancient methods, they themselves have the most obvious feelings about the differences and differences between modern and ancient methods.

It's like all the shackles and burdens on your body have been thrown off. While moving forward lightly, you can also gain huge benefits from the return of laws.

It's just like in the north, snow is normal, and people don't think snow is so rare, but in the south it's different.

A little snow can even make people in the south miss it for several years.

The same is true for the monks in the Northern Wei Dynasty who were in the process of changing the laws. They were accustomed to the hard days of the modern law and gradually entered the broader "ocean" and "sky" of the ancient law. The originally sparse and ordinary scenery in the ocean and sky could be It deeply shocked their hearts.

This kind of terrifying disparity is unimaginable in its impact on the mind of a practitioner!
In recent years, monks such as the Northern Wei Dynasty and Buddhism have been singing all the way and making rapid progress.

And because they have changed their ways from the modern method, no one knows better than them how superior the ancient method is compared to the modern method.

It’s as if the whole world has become active and rich!

And it was against the background of this terrifying rising period that more and more monks began to take the initiative to arrive at Xiaoling Mountain, which was transformed into a "boundary mountain" to overlook the Southern Jin Dynasty.

This feeling is like looking at the daily life of the people on the other side across Yalujiang at the border line in my previous life.
There is curiosity, but more importantly, there is an unprecedented sense of superiority!
It's like seeing myself in the "last century". While recalling the bitterness and sweetness, the biggest feeling is that "the past is like a dream".

time flies.

Slowly, going to Xiaoling Mountain and looking at the twelve border towns of Southern Jin Dynasty, it gradually became popular.

There are even businessmen with a keen sense of smell who built Buddhist temples on the top of Xiaoling Mountain and many viewing terraces.

As more and more monks arrived, these practitioners in the Northern Wei Dynasty became more and more aware of the lifelessness of the Southern Jin Dynasty.

The economic base determines the superstructure, and in this spiritual world there is actually not much difference.

When practice begins to improve, the sense of superiority gradually rises, followed by the rise of hawkish forces!

Within the Northern Wei Dynasty, the call for a second southern expedition was getting louder and louder.

Especially the young people who have gained momentum in recent years, their voices are incredibly loud.

Many simply used the banner of "avenging shame" and "revenge", and they gained more and more fans.

No, I don’t know who took the lead. A large number of young monks from the Northern Wei Dynasty openly proposed that Xiaoling Mountain be used as a gathering place.

As soon as this initiative came out, young geniuses from the Northern Wei Dynasty gathered here one after another, and it became more and more lively day by day.

The topics discussed were mostly about pacifying the Southern Jin Dynasty and rescuing the leader of the Lecture Hall - achieving unparalleled contributions and creating unparalleled great deeds.

Incense smoke curls, bells ring, and the fragrance of incense, vegetarian food, and vegetarian wine can be smelled everywhere on Xiaoling Mountain.

With so many guests arriving one after another, it was even more crowded and lively.

When the first Lecture Hall was still the strongest ruling power in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the influence of Buddhism in the Northern Wei Dynasty was extremely great, and various temples could be seen everywhere.

Nowadays, the Northern Wei Dynasty has officially entered the era of the rule of the Holy Buddha of Lantuo Temple, and the influence of Buddhism has only increased.

Even non-Buddhist forces cannot survive!
Some non-Buddhist forces that were still able to survive in the past have now even changed all kinds of etiquette and rituals into Buddhist styles.

For example, the vegetarian food, vegetarian wine, Obon Festival, Buddha's Birthday, etc. that are highly praised by Buddhism were all integrated into every aspect of life in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Even the royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty had to consult eminent monks for advice on how to open altars for every major event.

There are many believers who donate their property to the temple to pray for blessings.

As for temples in various places, the tallest buildings are often Buddhist temples, and the tops of Buddhist temples and pagodas are often proud of enshrining Buddha treasures.

What goes up and follows the example will lead to the world quickly becoming like Buddhism.

of course.

This is not entirely without benefits!
As the various benefits brought about by the return of the ancient laws of heaven and earth are gradually implemented and realized, the world's belief in Buddhism has become more and more pious.

As a result, the leader who led the Buddhist disciples all the way to successfully bring back the ancient Dharma was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people like never before.

In today's Northern Wei Dynasty, temples and nunneries are blooming everywhere, and the power of faith is extremely abundant.

The whole world seems to have become a sacred land, with mind power like the sea, crystal clear every inch, becoming extremely rich, and becoming more and more suitable for Buddhist disciples to practice.

Xiaoling Mountain.

"Isn't this poor monk too late?"

A young monk who looked very handsome, walked as fast as flying, and disappeared with just one step. When he reappeared, he appeared directly on the hillside of Xiaoling Mountain.

Then, his figure disappeared and reappeared, and he reached the top of Xiaoling Mountain in just a few steps.

If there were practitioners in the Southern Jin Dynasty who saw this monk's steps, they would definitely be very surprised and would regard them as the most exquisite steps in Buddhism, such as "Divine Foot Power" and "Eight Steps to Drive Cicadas".

But in fact, this is the most normal walking in Buddhism, and no footwork is used.

He just took a very ordinary step, nothing more, and this is a simple microcosm of the ancient laws of heaven and earth.

"Amitabha, it turns out to be Zen Master Faxian from Faxing Temple. It's a pleasure to meet you. It's a pleasure to meet you."

On the top of Xiaoling Mountain, many monks stood up in the recently built tall tower building with a distinct Buddhist style.

He cast a look of awe at the young monk named Faxian.

Faxing Temple is also a rare large temple in the Northern Wei Dynasty. In recent years, its development has been particularly rapid. There are many experts in horse racing and lighting incense.

As a member of the "Fa" generation, Faxian can only be regarded as a junior at Faxing Temple, and his status is probably only one generation higher than that of ordinary novice monks.

but.

Everyone present was extremely respectful!

Because Faxian is another talented newcomer after Zen Master Huiming, the Buddhist disciple of Faxing Temple.

In the future, he may become the abbot after the Buddha's son Huiming. The future is in his hands.

The most important thing is that since about three or four years ago, Zen Master Huiming of Faxing Temple has been in seclusion and rarely shows up. Many major events that welcome and send people to Faxing Temple are personally handled by Zen Master Faxian, who has considerable power.

Without any surprise, as soon as Zen Master Faxian arrived, he immediately became the center of attention in the tower, and all topics revolved around Faxian and Faxing Temple.

"The Zen master has only practiced for a few years, but he has reached the height he is today. Climbing high mountains is like walking on a mud ball. Maybe his cultivation has completely surpassed the so-called four realms and five realms of the Southern Jin Dynasty."

Someone complimented.

Others took over and said in a somewhat disdainful tone, "The Southern Jin Dynasty, and the present method, are stuck in their own ways. How can they truly know the vastness of the world? It will be a matter of time before they are swallowed up by the torrent of the times!"

"That's right, I heard that Zen Master Faxian was slaying demons in Yunwu Mountain not long ago. A divine spell with the word 'Om' was like the creation of heaven and earth. It directly suppressed all the demons and ghosts in the mountain. Their muscles and bones were numb, and they lay on the ground. The ground was shaking."

"Later, the big demon was dissatisfied. He held a mountain-turning euphorbia and directly stirred up the mountain of Dharma. He planned to use the entire mountain to kill the master. As a result, Zen Master Faxian smashed the mountain of Dharma to pieces with the palm of the Buddha's palm. Suppressing and slaying the unrepentant demon is really boundless!"

"It's well said that Buddhism is boundless. In the environment of the ancient world, the power of Buddhism becomes more and more obvious. Once the Buddhist mantras and scriptures come out, who in the world can challenge them?"

Almost all of the talented people present have joined Buddhism. Even if they have no chance of being accepted into Buddhism, their relationship with Buddhism is still extremely close.In an era when ancient Dharma is returning and the power of Buddhism is becoming more and more prosperous, people's sense of belonging to Buddhism is naturally getting stronger and stronger.

"Zen Master Faxian is indeed one of the most outstanding talents of the new generation. With a new generation replacing the old, maybe he will be on the lotus list soon, right?"

"How many years soon? Even now, the Zen master's cultivation has definitely surpassed those conservatives in the Southern Jin Dynasty. Then Xiaolong, one of the most dazzling geniuses in the Southern Jin Dynasty, actually became a Southern Jin with just four realms of cultivation. The No. 13 Tianzhu of the Jinzhen Realm Formation is really confusing."

Everyone spoke to each other and vividly described the battle that Zen Master Faxian was most proud of. Zen Master Faxian, who came from a powerful family and had extraordinary meditation skills, couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

Zen Master Faxian said calmly, "It's over-praised, everyone has over-praised. What does this little monk's cultivation mean? Not to mention compared with Huiming Buddha in our temple, even if he faces the young dragon of the Southern Jin Dynasty, he may not be as good." It’s so easy to say victory.”

"Zen Master is being humble, so is Zen Master Huiming. After all, he is a talented person from the previous generation. He has been practicing longer than us and has deeper attainments. That is normal. But does Young Long of the Southern Jin Dynasty still dare to step out of the Zhenjie Formation now?"

While some people flattered Fa Xian, they also raised doubts in their hearts.

If you don't advance in practice, you will retreat. Although it is only three or four years since the return of the ancient laws of the Wei Dynasty, even these three or four years are enough to change a lot of things.

Faxian looked humble and shook his head, "Confident but not arrogant. The road to invincibility is still quite difficult. According to the information currently available to Buddhism, Young Dragon is currently in charge of the power of Shinto. This has never happened before. It is said that during the battle between Qilin and Young Dragon, the Immortal Qi Invincible Road appeared in him, which was quite powerful. He has never competed in person, so it is still too early to talk about winning in battle!"

Many young monks were surprised.

It’s really incredible that Faxian thinks so highly of Jinfa Invincible Road.

but.

From the words of Zen Master Faxian, they can also feel the confidence of this rising star.

Since we have never fought, it is too early to talk about victory, but what if we have fought?

Fa Xian said with a smile, "The modern method has a long history of cultivation. It has been countless years since the Invincible Path Cultivation Method appeared, but only one Invincible Path monk like Xiaolong appeared. Naturally, it has considerable merit. Maybe we can open the ancient method in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Heaven and earth, young dragons can also gain some benefits, a rising tide lifts all boats.”

Everyone at the scene fell silent immediately.

They are indeed confident in the ancient method, and they are indeed looking down on the modern method more and more, but they really dare not say that they look down on the most outstanding and perfect works of the modern method.

Not to mention, the immortal energy appeared in the young dragon early on, and it is very likely that it will perfectly adapt to the ancient rules.

They can despise the Southern Jin Dynasty and despise the modern method, but they absolutely cannot despise the ancient method.

"King Kong Temple Mang King Kong is here!"

I don't know who shouted, and all the young people present stood up respectfully to greet him, even Zen Master Faxian, who was the center of the gathering just now, was no exception.

Mang King Kong is different from other Buddhists in that he is really not big-minded.

If you offend another monk, maybe you can just admit your mistake and apologize, but if you offend the abbot whom Mang King Kong offended, do you still want to run away?
Not only that, Mang King Kong is also considered the most famous genius of the previous generation in Buddhism.

I just don’t know how far Mang King Kong has come on the ancient path in the past four years or so.

You must know that while the framework of today's laws still strictly restricts the use of ancient laws, King Kong Vajra has reached the point where he is indestructible due to the extraction of too much evil energy.

He is even praised by the Buddhist community as the most powerful monk on the Vajra Path. In the future, he may be qualified to protect Buddha, the Buddha in the world!
It's just that after the return of the ancient rules, Huiming of Faxing Temple, Mangjing of Vajra Temple, and even the Buddha of Landuo Temple for five kalpas have been in retreat and have been out of public view for many years.

"boom!"

At this moment, everyone suddenly felt the ground in Xiaoling Mountain shaking, and a ray of Buddha's light suddenly rose into the sky.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Mang King Kong's steps were much heavier than those of Zen Master Faxian, and he looked unusually clumsy.

Everyone immediately understood that this should be the reason why Mang King Kong had refined too much Earthly Evil Qi during his time in the Three Realms of the Dharma.

The world is fair. King Kong has gone very far in the three realms of today's Dharma. His strength is unfathomable and he is almost indestructible in the true sense. He has dominated the limelight.

But it is not that easy to change to the ancient method.

Not only Mang King Kong, but also the most outstanding sons of heaven in Northern Wei Buddhism, such as Buddha Fuer, Buddha Huiming, Buddha Zhenci, Buddha Miaoshan, and Master Chanjing, all encountered similar dilemmas.

This is also the reason why they rarely show up recently, and they are all trying to cut away the influence and restrictions of the current legal framework little by little.

Fortunately, Buddhism has been wholeheartedly promoting the return of the ancient Dharma world for a long time, and the exercises practiced are essentially castrated ancient Buddhist Dharma.

As long as the limitations of the current framework of heaven and earth are removed bit by bit, the power of ancient Buddhist inheritance will be unearthed bit by bit.

I just don’t know how far this Mang King Kong, who was the first to break through, has reached now?
clap clap clap!
In the tower, which was very busy just now, but in the main hall, which had become unusually quiet due to the reception of Mang King Kong, several unusually clear slaps suddenly sounded.

And several young people who were slapped inexplicably, leaving several red slap marks on their faces, felt ashamed and angry, surprised and horrified at the same time.

What happened just now?

They didn't feel anything at all, and then they were slapped inexplicably. If Mang Kingang really wanted to kill them, they would all be dead by now.

So terrifying?
Also, this Mang King Kong is really more generous than rumored.

They didn't say anything bad about Mang King Kong. When they came up, they beat people and even slapped people. They were in vain and were considered Buddhists. It was an insult to gentlemen!
Zen Master Faxian quickly walked to Mang King Kong, clasped his hands, and saluted respectfully, "Faxian of Faxing Temple, I have met my uncle."

Mang Jingang glanced at Faxian, without giving any face to him, and said disdainfully, "It's really a big deal to speak arrogantly. How dare you say that you are worthy of defeating the young dragon?"

Zen Master Faxian was dumbfounded.

Is this Mang King Kong?

Clay horses, even clay men, have a certain amount of anger. This Mang King Kong is really even more hot-tempered than the rumors say. He is simply born in the year of the dog.

Zen Master Faxian still had a smile on his face, and the monk's posture was so full that he completely outshone Mang King Kong.

"Uncle Master's lesson is to invite Uncle Master to sit down."

Mang Jingang did not buy it. He looked at the many young people present and said scornfully, "Modern methods do have limitations. It is true that monks of modern methods have encountered some obstacles when they modify ancient methods. But monks who can stand out from modern methods , which one is not an outstanding figure in the world?"

"The young dragon, when the realm is slightly lower than that of all the Buddhist disciples of the Northern Wei Dynasty, it can still penetrate the Buddhist disciples of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Are you frogs at the bottom of the well worthy of despising the young dragon?"

"If there is anyone in the world who can defeat him, it must be me, King Kong Mang!"

Faxian: "."

Everyone: "."

This Mang King Kong never forgets to boast!
I just don’t know where this reckless man got his confidence.
At this moment, another loud and loud voice suddenly passed through the infinite distance and reached the eardrums of everyone in the Xiaoling Mountain Tower.

"Originally I wasn't interested in these children's gatherings, but you have arrived and threatened to defeat the young dragon, so I have to go. The only one who can defeat the young dragon is a poor monk!"

boom!
The void shook for a while, and then a Buddhist monk came out.

Surprisingly, it was Zhenci, the Buddhist disciple of Miaoho Temple who had disappeared for many years and had not been seen before. For many of the younger generations here, he could really be regarded as a senior.

Seeing Zhenci's arrival, many young people present suddenly had wonderful expressions.

Compared with Mang King Kong, Miaofa Temple's Zhenci's defeat was miserable.

He lost face and dignity, and it is said that his Taoist heart almost collapsed because of it.

Such a loser is now trying to show off in front of them?

But it is undeniable that the spatial methods displayed at the moment when Zhenci appeared were indeed very exquisite.

boom!
Another Buddha's light soaring into the sky appeared, and everyone suddenly saw a golden lotus platform suddenly appearing in the tower of the main hall.

Before the lotus platform appeared, no one even saw clearly how it appeared.

"I don't want to be in the limelight, but if I have to fight against the young dragon again, then the poor monk will do his part!"

The crowd was stunned.

Many young people even cannot understand it.

How could a mere backward person, who was confined to the world of today's Dharma, lead out all the Buddhist disciples who were unable to retreat from the major temples?

It's incredible!
