Chapter 140 Five Huizhou Living Buddha

Chapter 140 Five Huizhou Living Buddha

Chen Mengsheng wondered: "What is the purpose of the red spirit fruit that the abbot of the Golden Buddha Temple wants?"

Lianhuafengshan Shen said: "He wants to use the divine power of the red spirit fruit to fly and become a fairy. The red spirit fruit is a precious fruit in the world, how can it be so easy to find!"

Hearing what the mountain god of Lianhuafeng said, Chen Mengsheng already had a bottom line in his heart.He said: "You should retreat first. If the abbot of the Golden Buddha Temple comes to summon you in the future, don't bother with him. When I go to meet the abbot of the Golden Buddha Temple in person, the four mountain gods please go back to the mountain."

The mountain god of Lianhuafeng and the three peaks behind him were all grateful to Chen Mengsheng for his words, and they wanted to kowtow to Chen Mengsheng.In the past two years, the four mountain gods have suffered from the prestige of the Golden Buddha Temple, but the mountain gods only have the right to control one mountain peak, and they have no choice but to swallow their anger.Chen Mengsheng waved his hand and said: "It's not too early, you mountain gods are supposed to be a side of Fuze, but unexpectedly, the monks who will be succumbed to a Golden Buddha Temple really have failed the incense of the world!" The four mountain gods were blushed by Chen Mengsheng's words, All the salutes turned into green smoke and disappeared...

Back in the cave, Xiang Xiaotian and Shangguan Yanran were still sleeping, and the roaring beast lay on the ground with its whole sleeping body pressed against the stone, its four claws wide open to absorb the cool air from the Yangshan rock.Chen Mengsheng leaned on the stone wall at the entrance of the cave and continued to close his eyes to meditate and practice his Thousand Hands Thousand Body Great Compassion Mantra...

The morning sun dyed the vast sea of ​​clouds on Huangshan Red, and the tall Lying Yunsong Tanhaisong opened its huge arms to welcome the arrival of a new day.The three of Chen Mengsheng finished washing in the mountain spring outside the cave, packed their bags, and prepared to climb over the mountain to catch Huizhou. When the roaring beast on the ground saw Shangguan Yanran, the three of them stood up crookedly and struggled to climb to Shangguan Yanran's feet. On the other side, he jumped into Shangguan Yanran's sleeve and continued to sleep soundly...

Chen Mengsheng and Shangguan Yanran were led by Xiang Xiaotian from the mountain path down to Qianshan Town at the foot of Huangshan Mountain. There was only one tavern in the town for pedestrians to stay.The three of them went to the tavern at noon, but there were no customers in the tavern except for the shopkeeper who was guarding the shop.

Xiang Xiaotian strode into the tavern and shouted: "The shopkeeper serves some hot dishes, a pot of rice, and a cart for me."

The shopkeeper greeted him and said with a smile: "My lords, it's a misfortune for you to come here today, let alone a set-up car. In Qianshan Town, everyone except those with poor legs and feet have gone to Huizhou."

Chen Mengsheng asked in confusion: "Everyone in a town has gone to Huizhou? Could it be that there is another war and the court is going to recruit soldiers again?"

The shopkeeper rolled his eyes and said angrily: "The three guest officials must all come from other places, right? You don't even know about such a big event in Huizhou City?"

Xiang Xiaotian slapped the table and said angrily: "You shopkeeper's words are so unreasonable, so what if we are from a foreign country?"

The shopkeeper looked at Xiang Xiaotian with disdain and muttered: "You ignorant bumpkin, dare to come here to play tricks and don't even ask, what does your Third Master Mou do in Qianshan Town?"

Shangguan Yanran took out a pink purse from her bosom, twisted out a piece of gold leaf with two fingers, put it flat on her hand and gently buckled it on the table.He smiled slightly and said, "Shopkeeper, we are passing through Guibao and we are not familiar with the place, so I would like to ask the shopkeeper to tell us more about what happened in Huizhou City?"

Looking at the golden leaves on the table, the shopkeeper almost drooled.He rubbed his hands and smiled charmingly: "Girl, look, this gold leaf is five taels in weight. I, Mou San, can't find that much silver for you. In Huizhou City, at noon tomorrow, the Living Buddha of the Golden Buddha Temple will visit the city to save all living beings, and the day after tomorrow will be March." On the 28th, the Living Buddha is going to redeem the people and burn himself to heaven."

Shangguan Yanran also knew that one tael could be exchanged for ten taels of silver in peaceful and prosperous times, and now that Liao, Jin and Song have been conquests for years, gold is even more valuable. A piece of gold leaf can be worth a hundred taels of silver. After half a day on the mountain road, I just want to have a hot meal."

Mou San knew that the three people in front of him were the God of Wealth, so he dared to be negligent and said in a hurry: "You three, please sit down and I will cook vegetables and warm wine for you." The shopkeeper raised the curtain and rushed to the back hall The kitchen prepares food and drinks.

Xiang Xiaotian rubbed the back of his head and said: "Brother, is this not right? How can a living Buddha ascend to heaven and sometimes have a little bit, it is said that the fate of immortality is unpredictable. Why do you feel a little unreliable about self-immolation?" Spectrum? There are still such stupid people in the world?"

Chen Mengsheng said with a smile: "Brother's words are wrong. When the Buddha Sakyamuni was practicing, he met a female tiger who gave birth to cubs. Just because the tiger was thin and had no milk to raise the cubs, the Buddha sacrificed his life to feed the tiger. The female tiger ate it. Only after the Buddha was born did he have milk to feed the cubs, and since then there have been Buddhists who sacrificed their lives to save the world."

"Ah... there really are such stupid people!" Xiang Xiaotian exclaimed in shock.

Shangguan Yanran said with a chuckle: "Brother Xiang, what Buddhism emphasizes is that life is a suffering, and only after doing good deeds can one go to the Western bliss. Like the elder brother said, feeding the tiger with one's own body and feeding the eagle with one's arm cut off, and burning down the house are all for the sake of salvation." There are people who have abandoned themselves because of the world.”

Seeing Xiang Xiaotian's incredulous expression, Chen Mengsheng interrupted and asked, "Brother, do you know about Huizhou Golden Buddha Temple?"

Xiang Xiaotian shook his head and waved his hands: "I don't believe those bald donkeys' lectures, they are all nonsense."

Mou San, the shopkeeper at the back, was holding a large wooden tray, on which a pot of wine was scalded and a few simple side dishes.Interface said: "The Golden Buddha Temple that the guest officer asked about is known to everyone in Huizhou."

"Oh? Then tell me what's going on with this Golden Buddha Temple?" Xiang Xiaotian said with his eyes wide open.

Mou Sanxi smiled and said: "The guest officer listened to me slowly while eating. Two years ago, a monk from other places came to Huizhou. He seemed to be called Zen Master Mingkong. After he came to Huizhou, he said that since the Golden Buddha was about to appear, He said that he was originally an immortal in the world. At that time, Huizhou people would not believe what the monk said. Monk Mingkong did not argue. He meditated in the downtown area of ​​Huizhou. For three days, the monk neither ate nor drank. , but more and more people come around every day.”

Chen Mengsheng asked: "Could it be true that the Golden Buddha is really alive as Monk Mingkong said?"

Mou San nodded and said: "On the fourth morning, there was really a high arch in front of the place where the monk was meditating. But it's amazing that thousands of people in Huizhou City went to see it, and some faithful men and women followed Ming Kong The monks stayed there together. It took less than half a day to see the golden Buddha's head exposed in the soil. The spectators were all dumbfounded and knelt down to worship. The golden Buddha grew day and night in the ground but only two days later it was revealed. A three-foot-tall golden body of Maitreya Buddha has since built that Golden Buddha Temple."

Xiang Xiaotian was surprised and said: "The sky is so big in the world, but it's unheard of to have a golden Buddha in the ground. Brother, let's rush to Huizhou to see what the golden Buddha is after dinner."

Mou San, the shopkeeper, clicked his tongue and said: "Guest officer, you can't talk nonsense. If you dare to say that in Huizhou, you will be beaten to death. After the guest officers have eaten, I will personally set up a car to send the three of them away." Huizhou, I can’t miss you seeing the living Buddha tomorrow.” Money can turn ghosts, and a piece of gold leaf can completely change Mou San’s personality...

It was more than 100 miles from Qianshan Town to Huizhou. Mou San waited for Chen Mengsheng and the others to finish their meal and drove them to Huizhou on the door of the tavern.

In the car, Chen Mengsheng asked: "Shopkeeper, who is the host of the Golden Buddha Temple now?"

Mou San was stunned by Chen Mengsheng's question for a while and replied: "The abbot of the Golden Buddha Temple has always been Monk Mingkong, and the monks recruited by the Golden Buddha Temple really dare not be agreed with."

Shangguan Yanran was puzzled and said, "Why would the shopkeeper say that?"

"The monk Mingkong said that he wanted to save the world, and he recruited all the evildoers in the temple. I hope that Buddhism can save those people. The people of Huizhou respect and fear the Golden Buddha Temple."

Chen Mengsheng raised the curtain of the car and saw that the road was full of passers-by carrying large and small bags on their hands and shoulders, so he couldn't help asking: "The shopkeeper, what are they doing with these big and small bags?"

Mou San glanced sideways at the passers-by and said in a low voice: "Guest officer, it's not for nothing that the living Buddha set himself on fire to save people's sins. You have to pay the Living Buddha to help you reduce your sins and atone for your sins. Most of these hurrying people are from The poor people from the neighboring counties, the rich ones have already gone to Huizhou to go directly to the Golden Buddha Temple.”

Xiang Xiaotian was startled and said: "Then the Golden Buddha Temple is faster than the robbery. Haven't all the monks become rich?"

Mou San was so frightened by Xiang Xiaotian's words that he shrank his neck and stopped talking.I thought to myself: Don't look at you, who is tall and tall, carrying such a big bow on your back, and just talk like that when you enter Huizhou, you just wait for bad luck...

It was already the second watch when the carriage arrived in Huizhou, and the gates of the city had already been closed.Below the city are some common people who came to Huizhou to see the living Buddha, and there are still crowds of people coming.Mou San's carriage was blocked, Mou San got the golden leaf and wanted to go back to Qianshan Town, it was more difficult than going to heaven.

After Chen Mengsheng and his party got out of the car, they walked to a deserted place outside Huizhou city.The three-foot-high city gate building was nothing to Chen Mengsheng and the others, and after walking for half an hour, there was no one around.Chen Mengsheng carried Xiang Xiaotian's belt and Shangguan Yanran into Huizhou City with ease...

Huizhou is a rich place rich in medicinal materials, and medicinal materials from south to north will be collected and distributed in Huizhou.In Huizhou, almost every household knows how to collect medicines and make medicines. Huizhou merchants are comparable to Zhejiang merchants in Jiangnan and Shanxi merchants in Shanxi.When Chen Mengsheng and the others entered Huizhou, they saw that the road paved with a whole piece of large bluestone was smooth and smooth, and the white houses with black eaves were row upon row, and there were stone lions of different sizes and shapes in front of the houses.

Xiang Xiaotian set up an awning and looked into the distance: "Brother, the inn on the west side is still lit! Let's go and stay overnight, and come out at noon tomorrow to see what kind of god that living Buddha is."

Chen Mengsheng also wondered: "I really didn't expect that there will be an inn in Huizhou City that is not full at this time, which is really puzzling."

Shangguan smiled and said: "Senior brother, what's so strange about this? If the inn is not full, it must be that Suyin is higher than other inns. Let's not worry about money, so why not just stay for one night."

Chen Mengsheng nodded, and the three of them walked towards the inn with a red light hanging high...
