    Luo Duo said with a smile: "We have always speculated like this, but we have never seen the Buddhist cave, so we are not sure what is going on."

    "The place where the relics were on the sand table is naturally where the Buddhist cave is." Chu Huan said: "But I can't understand where it is."

    "Actually, it has been marked on it. Others don't know it, but we can see it." Luo Duo walked to Chu Huan and said: "After we received the ashes of our ancestors from the pagoda, we set off immediately.  It¡¯s urgent and we can¡¯t delay.¡±

    Chu Huan nodded slightly. Now that he knew the location of the Buddhist cave, the Dragon Platform would no longer be useful to the people present. Chu Huan knew that the next time the Dragon Platform would be opened would be more than seventy years later.  , if nothing else happens, by that time, these people present will have already left this world.

    After leaving the Dragon Platform, Luo Duo walked directly outside the Buddhist temple. He only saw thousands of disciples gathered densely in the square. The fire was bright. Chu Huan followed Luo Duo. Only then could he see clearly.  The disciples were almost all monks with bare heads. Although I saw figures gathering in the square before, I didn't take a closer look. Only then did I realize that the people gathered in the square were all monks.

    The Kingdom of Buddha is the headquarters of the Xin Sect. Just as Zen was the dominant sect in the Central Plains, the Xin Sect, which has the same origin as Zen, established its foothold in the Western Regions and became the largest sect in the Western Regions.

    In the Western Regions, from the princes and nobles to the common people, there are countless believers in the Heart Sect. Just like in the Central Plains, those who believe in Zen Buddhism can be found all over the world.

    Within the Buddha Kingdom, there are naturally not a few people who have seen through the mortal world and become monks. Lotus City is the capital of the Buddha Kingdom, and there are thousands of monks in the city.

    Although there were thousands of disciples gathered in the square, there was silence.

    Luo Chuluo led more than ten disciples to the left and right in front of the Buddhist temple. He bowed slightly to Luo Duo. Luo Duo glanced at him and nodded slightly to Luo Chuluo. Luo Chuluo made a gesture, and immediately two people came  The disciples came out from the side. Each of the two men was holding a long pole in their hands. When Chu Huan looked up, he realized that what the two men were holding was a peacock with its wings spread. Each of them grabbed one of the peacock's legs.

    Luo Duo clasped his hands together and recited something in a low voice. He raised his head suddenly and let out a strange cry. The two disciples were already slowly walking down the steps holding the peacock. Luo Duo followed behind. When Chu Huan saw this, he could only  Following behind, Bi Liuli and Bi Liu Bosha followed closely behind, while Luo Chuluo and others followed at the back.

    The peacock led the way, and after walking a few steps, Chu Huan heard the sound of chanting from behind. When he looked back, he found that the disciples on the square had already lined up to follow him. The queue was orderly, and almost everyone had their hands clasped together.  , chanting in a low voice, thousands of people chanting, the scene is naturally extremely spectacular, and the sound of chanting is even more low and solemn.

    There were lights burning in the square, and it was midnight. Chu Huan was worried that it would be dark along the way and it would be difficult to see the road clearly, but he soon realized that his worries were unfounded.

    On the long street, the houses on both sides have opened their doors. On both sides of the long street, residents are kneeling. Everyone is kneeling on the ground religiously, with their heads buried in the ground. A lamp is hung in front of each house.  The lights were bright, illuminating the long street as bright as day.

    Chu Huan looked at it and was secretly frightened, thinking that the people of the Buddha Kingdom had already deeply believed in the Heart Sect. This seemingly simple scene made Chu Huan truly understand the position of the Heart Sect in the Western Region.

    Along the way, residents were kneeling piously and quietly on both sides, while a long line of Xin Sect disciples chanted sutras along the way. They walked like this for more than an hour. At the ugly hour, Chu Huan saw the appearance in front of him.  There is a round pagoda. This stone pagoda is very different from other pagodas in the city. It is completely round. If it were not for the umbrella cover on the top, it would be like a column standing on the ground.

    However, the surrounding area of ??this column was like a Buddhist temple. There were no residential buildings and it was extremely empty. Seeing that it was still some distance away from the pagoda, he immediately stopped in front of him, but Luo Duo did not stop and walked forward without turning his head.  He replied, saying: "Dragon King, come with me!"

    Chu Huan was about to stop, but after hearing what Chu Huan said, he followed Luo Duo and asked, "Brother, is this the pagoda where the ashes of our ancestors are placed?"

    "Exactly!" Luo Duo said as he walked: "But in the Heart Sect, this tower is called the Six Paths Tower. You can't see the scene inside from the outside. There are six floors inside, five of which are above the ground and below the ground.  , there is another layer!¡±

    "Oh?" Chu Huan said: "Six Paths Tower, does it mean Six Paths of Reincarnation?"

    Luo Duo shook his head and said: "That's not the case. This Six Paths Pagoda has two purposes. The first purpose, as you already know, is to house the ashes of the Buddha Mothers, Saint Kings, the Eight Tribes, and the Sixteen Arhats. Their bodies are in  All the time in this world is to save the myriad ways of human beings.After the spirit has passed away and is sent to the Six Paths Pagoda, it can then transfer to other paths and continue to save living beings in other paths.  "

    As they spoke, the two of them got closer and closer to the Six Paths Pagoda. The closer they got, the more towering the Six Paths Pagoda became. Although it was just a simple round pagoda, it exuded a majestic and sacred aura.

    "As for the second purpose!" Luo Duo paused and then said: "That is to punish the disciples of the Xin Sect who have made great mistakes or even betrayed the Xin Sect."

    "oh?"

    "The top layer of the Six Paths Pagoda is used to worship the Buddha, and the next layer is used to worship the Holy King." Luo Duo explained very patiently: "The lower layer is used to worship the four major gods of the heaven.  Heavenly kings, one level below, are the kings of the seven tribes headed by the Dragon King. After the death of the kings of Garuda, Kinnara, Gandharva, Yaksha, Mahulaka and Shura tribes, they are all together with the Dragon King.  Enshrined here.¡±

    Chu Huan suddenly realized: "The first floor on the ground is naturally dedicated to the ashes of Arhats of all generations."

    "That's right," said Luo Duo. He didn't turn around and continued walking: "And the layer below the ground, which is the bottom layer of the Six Paths Pagoda, is the place of confinement. We call it Vinaya!"

    ¡°Vinaiya?¡±

    "According to your words, it can be called a place of discipline. This Vinaya is the first place of punishment for my Heart Sect." Luo Duo said: "Although since the founder of the Heart Sect by the Great Polo layman, the eight tribes have always been the place of punishment.  However, due to the different depths of Buddhism, some disciples have fallen into evil ways, deviated from the Dharma of the Xin Sect, and even committed sins that the Xin Sect cannot allow. In this case, the laws passed down by the Xin Sect must be followed.  be punished.¡±

    Chu Huan asked: "Are all the disciples of the Xin Sect who violate the laws and regulations and have to enter Vinaya?"

    Luo Duo shook his head and said: "Of course that's not the case. Vinaya only targets the Eight Tribes, Arhat Vajra and ordinary disciples. Even if they violate the laws, there are other methods of punishment. Even the Eight Tribes are not punished for violating the laws.  Enter Vinaya." At this time, he was only ten steps away from the Six Paths Pagoda. Luo Duo stopped and said slowly: "The precepts will eliminate all wrongdoings, or clouds will disappear, just like the laws of the world, those who cut off minor and serious sins,  Therefore, the law regulates the work of the body, speech and mind, and subdues all important behaviors, so the law regulates and subdues.¡±

    Chu Huan was a little confused when he heard that Yunshan was shrouded in mist. Luo Duo had already explained: "The eight tribes are the protectors of the Heart Sect. They have high prestige in the countries in the Western Region and have their own dharma grounds. The Buddha Mother and the Holy King are sitting in the Lotus City.  But the Buddha Kingdom is not just this one city. From top to bottom, there are thirteen cities in the entire Buddha Kingdom. And there are now dozens of countries in the Western Regions that believe in the Heart Sect, large and small, adding up to no less than a few.  Hundreds of cities." He pondered for a moment before continuing: "The Buddha's country respects the Mother of Buddha, but all decisions are made by the holy king. This goes without saying, but the political affairs of all the countries in the Western Regions all have their own kings, but the Buddha's affairs require eight  Protector of the law."

    Chu Huan frowned and said: "Does the elder brother mean that all matters concerning Buddhism and religion in all countries are decided by the eight tribes of the Xin Sect?"

    "That's right." Luo Duo said: "Every year, there are many sacrificial events in various countries, including the new king's enthronement, the monarch's marriage and many other matters, which require the blessing of the guardian gods. For example, going to Wuqi in the northwest  As early as when the Wuqi Kingdom adopted Xinzong as its national religion, the Mother Buddha gave its Dharma protector the name Garuda. Therefore, many Buddhist affairs in the Wuqi Kingdom were undertaken by the Garuda tribe. If the Garuda could not  If you are present in person, you must send someone from the Garuda tribe to preside over it, and in the Wusa Kingdom, the protector of the whole country is Garuda!"

    Hearing this, Chu Huan suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but said: "So that's the case, no wonder he was in the ghost side!" But he did not continue.

    "Ghost side?" Luo Duo finally turned around and looked over.

    Chu Huandao said: "In Anyi Road in the Central Plains, there is a group of people who are descendants of the Western Regions. They call themselves Guifang people. They have lived in the Central Plains for several generations, but they still maintain some traditions and beliefs of the Western Regions. I am with them  When I saw the sculpture of Mahulaka, they claimed that it was their protector deity. I didn¡¯t understand it at the time, but I know this is the case now.¡±

    Luo Duo said with a smile: "So, when those people's ancestors were in the Western Regions, the protector deity of their country was Mohu Luojia, and all the legal affairs in the country were presided over by the Mohu Luojia tribe."  After a pause, he continued: "The Eight Tribes deal with all matters, and the Xin Sect naturally has a set of laws and regulations to regulate their words and deeds. If any laws and regulations are violated, the Dragon Department will supervise and enforce the law. However, if the Eight Tribes violate the Heart Sect,  If you follow the three major precepts of the sect, you must undergo the most severe trial."

    "Three precepts?"

    "There are many sects of Buddhism, and each one has different Buddhist meanings, and its Vinaya, or precepts, are also different." Luo Duo said seriously.

    Chu Huan immediately asked: "Is it like the Central Plains Zen Sect that has the four major precepts?"

    "The four basic precepts of Zen are killing, stealing, sexual immorality, and lying." Luo Duo said: "ThisIn fact, they are the four fundamental precepts of Zen Buddhism, which belong to the practice precepts of Theravada, not the four fundamental precepts of Buddhism.  To practice Buddhism, you must have a great intention, practice the five precepts and ten good deeds of Mahayana, develop bodhicitta, and have the heart to save all sentient beings. Only by practicing Mahayana Buddhism can you achieve ultimate liberation.  However, in the human world, the three major precepts of the Xin Sect are also the three Hinayana precepts belonging to the Xin Sect itself, which are very similar to those of Zen.  "

    "What are the three major precepts of the Heart Sect?"

    "In other words, the three major precepts of the Eight Tribes are for killing, sexual intercourse, and betrayal!" Luo Duo looked solemn, "Killing innocent people indiscriminately, those who are physically and mentally obscene, and those who betray the Heart Sect, these are the Eight Tribes of the Heart Sect.  Each of the three major precepts has its own punishment for violating other precepts of the Heart Sect, but once members of the Eight Tribes violate these three precepts, there are only two ways to go."
