The popular saying is that there is a mountain outside the door, and there is a temple on the mountain!
Most of the ancient Buddhist temples are located close to the mountains, so there are terms such as ancient temples in the mountains and deep winding paths. This can be equated with Fuze Temple and also similar to Daguangming Temple on Mount Putuo, but it can never be used to describe Tianjie Temple, which is said to be the birthplace of the Lord Buddha. .
To be precise, few people know where Tianjie Temple is. They only know that it is deep in the desert in the far west.
The fact is that Tianjie Temple is surrounded by mountains, not even a Poplar euphratica tree, which is not uncommon in the desert. It is located deep in the desert covered by wind and sand. Because it is shrouded in the nightmare of the desert all day long, it is not easy to find Tianjie Temple. You can't find it by looking up at the sky. If you find it without someone's guidance, no matter how powerful you are, you won't be able to get in.
This makes Tianjie Temple the most complete temple in the entire Tianjian Continent since it was first opened to welcome guests for thousands of years.
Every time the sunset burns the sky, a sky temple appears in mid-air. The apricot-yellow wall surrounds dozens of temples with green eaves like bird wings. The colorful murals eroded by wind and rain can be seen on the walls, one by one hanging on the roof. The small Bodhi bell in the corner swayed with the wind and made a crisp sound. It was silent and solemn in the sunset. Together with the sweet and soul-cleansing chanting, rays of substantial golden light enveloped the entire Tianjie Temple, sacred and solemn. If you are lucky enough to see it, you will not know if you are in heaven or on earth, or on earth or in heaven, because of the good fortune of heaven and earth to create such a magnificent scene.
Although this is just a silhouette of Tianjie Temple reflected in nature, it can be seen that the name of Tianjie Temple is not an exaggeration.
The real Tianjie Temple exists below this mirage, and its scale and appearance are the same as the virtual image in the sky.
In the Guanyin Hall in the center of Tianjie Temple, the golden light that fills the entire temple and shines into the sky is emitted by the golden elixir relic enshrined in the hands of the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva. However, in the past two years, the most precious thing in the hearts of the monks in Tianjie Temple has been It is no longer a golden elixir relic, but a sword, a dark sword placed on the incense table in front of the Guanyin statue. It is so black that even the blazing golden light of the golden elixir relic cannot come close.
This sword is named Bipi, and the person who brought it was a young man. Legend has it that this god-level Buddhist sword was used by the Lord Buddha. When this sword was placed in front of and behind the Guanyin Buddha statue, no one doubted this. To explain, why can't even the golden light of the golden elixir relic reach me?
This young man had something to say first. Whoever can use the Buddhist sword Nopipi to display sword energy or sword light twice in a row, the sword will belong to him. As a result, the usually quiet Guanyin Hall became a little noisy, and there were groups of people every day. The monks sent teams to try the sword, and even eminent monks like Wen Youzang came here every once in a while and enjoyed it very much. But to this day, the Buddha's Sword Bipi is still lying quietly in the Guanyin Hall. No one can use the Buddha's Sword Bipi to perform two sword skills in succession.
After putting down the sword, the young man who sent him the sword went to the main hall in the depths of Tianjie Temple, where the golden statue of the Lord Buddha is enshrined, and did not leave home for two years.
In the majestic, tall and solemn Mahavira Hall, hundreds of Arhat statues are placed in the passages and on the walls. They vary in size, height, fat and thin. Some are gnashing their teeth and glaring; some are smiling and sitting cross-legged; some are sitting cross-legged; His eyes are slightly narrowed, and he is holding a scripture in his hand; his expressions and movements are varied and general.
In front of the majestic golden statue of the Buddha, which is several feet tall, a young man sits cross-legged, knocking wooden fish with his hands and chanting sutras but not chanting the Buddha. When he practices Yuanli, a golden line that is more than a foot long is made up of countless golden dust. The swimming dragon swam slowly around him.
This made Youzang, the abbot of Tianjie Temple's Discipline Academy who walked in through the door and gave him daily sermons, a surprise when he saw the legendary Buddha spirit revolving around Yun Chen. In less than two years, the fusion degree of the sword soul and the golden elixir relic was raised to 70%?" Although Youzang has never seen anyone raise the fusion degree of the golden elixir relic and the sword soul to the seventh level, However, it is recorded in the scriptures that only by raising the level of integration between the golden elixir relic and one's own sword soul to the seventh level can one breed a Buddhist spirit.
"Reciting sutras instead of reciting Buddha, you can give it a try. Maybe the Buddha is tired of your flattery all day long." It's still the sarcastic and ridiculing tone, still the cold tone. What has changed is that he is gloomy. With his eyes and gloomy forehead, when he looked back at Youzang, his eyes were golden like lightning, and the heaven was full and holy. Golden Buddha lights flashed like water ripples all over his body from head to toe. If he looked at him with his shoulder-length eyes, If you cut off your long hair, you will have the standard image of a generation of eminent monks.
"Amitabha, Donor Di is joking. I'm here to bring you news today. Shen Yu is dead."
With a sound of "plop", the wooden fish that Di Yunchen had knocked for two years shattered, "Who did it?"
"Sword Wizard!" Youzang saw Di Yunchen's posture and stopped walking out. He finally figured it out. He had been preaching to Di Yunchen for two years, but today he was afraid it was over.
Although it is isolated from the world, Tianjie Temple is the leader of Buddhism in the world. Everything that happens in the Central Plains will be sent in through special channels for up to a month.
"In the past, I deliberately walked into the trap set by Ling Qingzi. That was because there were some people in the Cidu Shen Sect. No matter it was then, now or in the future, I couldn't bear to draw my sword against them. I could only use my own way to cause them to have civil strife. I thought Shen Yu would draw his sword against Ling Qingzi, but he chose to go down the mountain, and his death at the hands of the sword wizard today is considered a worthy death."
"Whether it's Chang Feng, Jiu Wei, Shen Ru, or Sheng Nun, they are all kind people to me, but I put them in a trap. I live in Jindan and cultivate in front of the Lord Buddha. For two years, I thought that with the help of Lord Buddha¡¯s influence, I would repent for this, but unfortunately, to this day, I still don¡¯t feel any guilt towards them!¡±
"Amitabha, it's the nature of donor Di!" Di Yunchen didn't feel guilty, but Youzang, who tried to influence Di Yunchen to eliminate the resentment in his heart, felt a little guilty.
Di Yunchen silently packed away the paper rafts on the table. When these scattered paper rafts were added together, they became the thirty-first level of Qingcheng Jue. Three days ago, he had entered the realm of the Sword Emperor.
"Do you have any plans to go to Longyang Valley in the southwest region to lead the sword cultivators to stop the powerful sword wizards? It seems that the situation of the sword cultivators is not good" Youzang reminded intentionally.
"Why should I go?" Di Yunchen asked naturally, just like he did many years ago.
"It is a matter of great righteousness to pay witchcraft for the benefit of the common people and the world!" Youzang said, slightly angry.
"Alas, Master, you may have forgotten that I am a wicked person who will not feel guilty even if I kill my benefactor." Di Yunchen's retort made Youzang so angry that he almost got angry.
Di Yunchen packed up the items on the incense table and turned towards the door. Seeing this, Youzang quickly whispered the Buddha's name to the golden statue of the Buddha and personally offered a stick of incense to the Buddha. Di Yunchen has been here for two years and has never When I left, not a single piece of incense was offered to the Lord Buddha. However, people were so contrary to the Buddha, yet they managed to combine the golden elixir relics to 70%. Is it true that as Di Yunchen said, the Lord Buddha was chanted by them all day long? Are you tired of flattering Buddha and need a change of taste?
You Zang, who almost lost his mind under Di Yunchen's few words, quickly calmed down and asked Di Yunchen who had already stepped out of the main hall: "Where are you going?"
Di Yunchen turned around when he heard the words, his aura of peace instantly disappeared, his face was cold and his eyes were gloomy: "Aren't you talking nonsense? Shen Ru was killed, Cidu Shenzong is shameless, as my benefactor, I, Di Yunchen, still I want this face."
"This" Youzang was completely confused by the huge contrast in Di Yunchen's attitude before and after. He always felt that Di Yunchen's words were a bit contradictory, but when he thought about it carefully, what he said before and after was not contradictory, so Youzang could only understand it this way. : As Di Yunchen's benefactor, Di Yunchen did not feel guilty that Shen Yu died because of Di Yunchen, but if someone else killed Shen Yu, Di Yunchen would take revenge.
This is in line with Di Yunchen's gloomy, mean and almost irrational nature.
When Di Yunchen came to the Guanyin Hall in the center of Tianjie Temple, it was a busy time of the day. Hundreds of monks took turns kowtowing incense in front of the statue of Guanyin, praying for the blessings of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and then brought the sacred sword Bipi to the outside of the hall for infusion. The Yuan Qi is like a sword body, but just like the past seven hundred days and nights, as long as anyone moves the Yuan Qi like a sword body, the Yuan Qi in the body will be like a river bursting its banks, unstoppably absorbed by the divine sword and squeezed dry at once.
"Amitabha, Almsgiver Di came out of the palace today. Are you going to leave?" Upon hearing this, Abbot You, the head teacher of Tianjie Temple who had just been drained of all his energy by the divine sword Bipi, looked at Di with a depressed look on his face. Yun Chen announced the name of Buddha.
With Youwen taking the lead, all the monks saluted Di Yunchen one after another. In the past two years, the entire Tianjie Temple treated Di Yunchen very well. They knew that he was very quiet. Except for Youzang, they had not even set foot in Youwen in the past two years. Crossing the threshold of the Main Hall, not only did Di Yunchen send the golden elixir relics and the divine sword Bipi to Tianjie Temple, but he also had some extravagant hopes after hearing about the treasures, hoping to influence Di Yunchen's gloomy and cold heart and benefit the world. .
"Yes, if I don't go out and show my face, I'm afraid I will be regarded as a ghost by the world." Di Yunchen said and strode into the Guanyin Hall. Still not offering incense or kowtow, he directly reached out to grab the divine sword Bipi.
"Wait a minute" Youwen stopped hastily.
"What? Someone has recovered the Divine Sword Bipi, can you not let it drain all the energy at once?" Di Yunchen asked with raised eyebrows.
"No, didn't Donor Di once say that whoever recovers it will own the Divine Sword." Youwen deliberately emphasized the word "who". The meaning is obvious. This "who" also includes you, Di Yunchen. Inside, if you can't recover the divine sword, just put the sword here obediently and let us absorb the energy and play with it every day.
Di Yunchen nodded and smiled: "I finally know,"Why don't our ancestors care about you anymore? "
Youwen laughed and said, "What does it have to do with Lord Buddha? If you don't recite the Buddha's name or offer incense, don't you still integrate the golden elixir relics to the seventh level?" Youwen heard this and said that he was absolutely treasonous and tantamount to persuading. Di Yunchen kept the divine sword Bipi and didn't take the Buddha seriously at all! "
Di Yunchen gestured with his nose to the monks who heard the news, "Are you sure you want to see it?"
"If you have the ability, take it back and take it away; if you don't, just put it down!" In order to keep Bipi in Tianjie Temple, I heard that an eminent monk turned into a rogue.
"Make sure you don't regret it after reading this. Let me remind you, you may cry and shout that you want to be a cow or a horse for me." The smile on Di Yunchen's face made You Wen You Zang feel a little guilty at the same time. .
"Please!" Youzang waved his hand, and the monks immediately moved out of the way to an open space.
Di Yunchen glanced at the statue of Guanyin with disdain and said loudly: "I, Di Yunchen, will neither pray to gods nor worship Buddha in this life, I will only rely on myself!"
As he finished speaking, the sword in his hand made a "dong" sound. Amidst the powerful and overwhelming sound of the sword, more than a thousand bells in Tianjie Temple, big and small, shook together, emitting melodious bells. In this holy and peaceful place, Amidst the sound of the bell, two hundred and fifty-six white sword lights wrapped with traces of golden light burst out from the sharp tip of the divine sword toward the sky. After flying a distance of sixty meters, two Differentiation¡.
