Chapter 449: Kasyapa Keeps the Precepts

The eighth day of April is the birthday of Buddha.

On this day, a group of monks gathered at the Shicha Lake.

Suddenly, ten rays of golden light swayed out, and ten golden bridges were set up on the Shicha Sea. Master Mingjian, the Miedu Divine Monk, and even the abbots of each of the other ten famous temples, all took one of their junior disciples and set foot on the Golden Bridge.

As soon as the golden bridge was closed, the monks were led directly to the entrance of the small temple.

Holy Monk Ananda was already standing there.

For a time, many monks saluted the holy monk Ananda.

"Amitabha! Today, my disciple is observing the precepts, and it is a sin to bring all the fellow disciples here!" The holy monk Ananda said this. The abbots of the ten famous temples returned the greetings one after another, saying "dare not". Among them, the head of the ten famous temples Zen Master Zhiling, the abbot of White Horse Temple, took a step forward and said harmoniously: "The holy monk is serious! The young holy monk Kasyapa's keeping of the precepts is an important matter for our Buddhist sect. If the holy monk does not inform us, he will be ignored!"

As soon as Zen Master Zhiling opened his mouth, others echoed his words.

Only the master of the Cihang Jingzhai Zhai, Master Jingyin, who was ranked last among the top ten famous temples, looked on with cold eyes, with some disdain inadvertently showing on her slightly weather-stained face.

Among the top ten famous temples in Western Shu Prefecture, only Cihang Jingzhai is a nunnery for nuns. But even so, Master Jingyin's cultivation level is still at the primary level of Nascent Soul. As for the abbots of other temples ranked higher, they are all the same. He is the ancestor of Yuanying - the abbot of the top three temples of Baima Temple, Baoan Temple and Guanghua Temple. He is also a high-level monk of Yuanying. He can be said to be the top group of combat power in Western Shu State. .

After some polite greetings, everyone was led into the small temple under the guidance of the holy monk Ananda.

Even Zen Master Zhiling and other older Yuan Ying ancestors were stunned for a moment when they first saw the Pure Land of Bliss inside the small temple. It was obviously these Yuanying ancestors who entered it for the first time. Inside the small temple, as for the ten Buddhist rookies who were led by them to participate in the event, the shock they showed was naturally more lasting.

Fortunately, these ten old men and ten young men were indeed the twenty most outstanding monks and nuns in contemporary Buddhism in Western Shu Prefecture. They were in a daze for a moment before everyone woke up and turned around.

"Ananda, the east is like the realm of Hengsha, and the realms in each realm are like the realm of Hengsha. All the Buddhas praise Amitabha for his immeasurable merits. The Buddhas in the south, west, north, four dimensions, above and below praise him in the same way." Recite a passage orally. After the "Dabao Ji Sutra", Zen Master Zhiling was still there, bowing to the holy monk Ananda and saluting: "Thank you, the holy monk Ananda, for your generous guidance, so that we ordinary people can see this pure land of bliss, Amitabha!"

"You are so wise and spiritual! As long as you devote yourself to the Buddha, you will one day visit the true Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss and escape from the sea of ​​suffering and reincarnation!"

"Good! Good!"

For a moment, many monks nodded.

After that, everyone stopped and walked around the Seven Flowers Treasure Tree, saw the solemnity of the Seven Treasures, flowed through the Eight Merit Waters, listened to the Eight-note Sanskrit singing, and saw smallpox, rare birds, and pavilions...

Finally, we came to a Bodhi tree.

Among the bodhi trees, there is a Buddhist temple, and among the intertwined branches and leaves, there is a Buddhist temple faintly visible.

The young monk had been waiting here for a long time, along with four others including Xiao Mian and four other followers who had been firmly following the young monk in the small temple.

The bodhi tree is a sacred tree in Buddhism.

According to legend, the Buddha attained enlightenment under the bodhi tree.

Therefore, everyone, including the holy monk Ananda, bows and salutes when they come to the Bodhi tree. This is the Buddhist saying that seeing the Bodhi tree is like seeing the Buddha.

As for Xiao Mian and others, they were naturally standing aside with dignity.

You must know that the one with the lowest cultivation level among the ten elders who came here is Master Jingyin, the master of Cihang Jingzhai, but he is also the real ancestor of Nascent Soul. The cultivation level of the others is naturally higher, even Zen Master Zhiling Although all the disciples brought by Master Jingyin and others are at the golden elixir level, those who can be brought to the small temple by the abbots are probably the best among the top ten famous temples. Their achievements in the future will be limitless and their future will be bright. .

After worshiping the Bodhi tree, everyone bowed to the young monk sitting cross-legged on the ground.

The young monk smiled lightly and returned the greetings one by one.

Logically speaking, this is the time for the holy monk Ananda to observe the precepts for the young abbot.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a rolling sound wave came in and resounded in all directions.

"Wei Ying! If you're not dead yet, come out and fight me!"

Everyone present was stunned when they heard it. Even Holy Monk Ananda also froze when he heard the voice, and then saw him shaking his head with a wry smile on his face. Zen Master Zhiling and others all looked at each other, but no one spoke; the younger generation of monks had wonderful expressions, some were filled with indignation, some were surprised and shocked, but most of them were unwavering; as for Xiao Mian Monk Zhang Er was even more confused.

"Xu Maru! Are you not dead yet?"

Another voice came from somewhere in the small temple, and the sound was no less powerful than the previous one. Hearing this, the bitter smile on the face of the holy monk Ananda became more and more serious.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of fighting came from the outside world.

Smiling wryly, Holy Monk Ananda saw everyone, including Zen Master Zhiling, looking at him suspiciously, shook his head, and waved his hand seemingly casually.

The next moment, everyone felt that the scene had changed, and they actually appeared at the door of the small temple - Holy Monk Ananda, calmly, teleported everyone out!

Xiao Mian and others were ignorant and fearless, so they didn't think it was a big deal. But when the matter fell into the eyes of the Yuanying ancestors such as Master Zhiling, it was not so simple. Although the distance of the people's teleportation was not far, there were thirty people after all, and there were also great monks of high Yuanying like Master Zhiling. However, during the teleportation process, everyone was unaware of it. How could such a miracle not shock Master Zhiling and others?

This is the Mahayana magical power in Buddhist legends - the door of convenience!

Although everyone was suspicious at this time, the battle outside was raging.

Looking around, you can see that the whole sky is half bright and half dark.

On the bright side, a nine-foot-tall strong man holding a vajra, like a furious Vajra, standing upright; on the dark side, a seven-year-old child stood in the air with his hands behind his back, with a smile on his slightly childish face, calm and confident.

The nine-foot-tall sturdy man must be "Wei Ying". Judging from the vajra he holds, he seems to be a Buddhist monk in the small temple. As for the boy who is only three feet tall and looks like a child, he should be "Xu Wan". I don't know who Xu Wan is. He dared to openly come to the hill and break into the small temple.

Wait!

His last name is Xu! ?

In a trance, Xiao Mian had some guesses about the identity of the boy.

When the boy was fighting with Wei Ying, he exuded a faint pressure, which was very similar to the blue-shirted young man Jian Lingzun and the white-haired old man Bai Shouweng who appeared at the beginning. Obviously, the inconspicuous boy might be one of the strong men in this world.

There were many ghosts around the boy, and Zhu Yanji was shocked. If nothing unexpected happened, Xu Wan might be the master of the Netherworld Ghost Domain - Ghost Saint!

The battle in the air did not last long, but the celestial phenomenon it caused was amazing. Xu Wan and Wei Ying changed the color of the entire sky with their own strength. This kind of power was much stronger than when Dan Qiusheng launched the clutch divine light.

"Amitabha! Today, my disciple is keeping the precepts. Thank you, Mr. Xu, for coming!"

After chanting the Buddha's name, Saint Ananda waved his hand and a Buddha's light flew out from behind his head. Along the dividing line between Xu Wan and Wei Ying, the Buddha's light spread over, and then gradually eroded the two worlds of light and darkness that the two people manifested, turning the entire sky back into the clear blue sky before, with no clouds in the sky.

In this way, Xu Wan and Wei Ying did not continue to fight.

Slowly descending from the sky, Xu Wan, who was only three feet tall, showed a momentum that was not inferior to Saint Ananda at all, once again demonstrating his identity.

"Hmph! I didn't check the almanac before I came here, so how do I know that you, old monk, are playing house with the little monk again?" While speaking, Xu Wan glanced at the little monk beside him and nodded slightly. It was obvious that he and the little monk were familiar with each other in their previous lives, but he turned a blind eye to Zen Master Zhiling and others, which seemed extremely arrogant. The little monk put his hands together and chuckled, "Amitabha! Congratulations to Mr. Xu for surviving another catastrophe!"

"Tsk! I think you are hoping that I, the old ghost, will die sooner, right?"

"How could it be? The catastrophe is coming, and Mr. Xu is one of the top fighters in my Xishuzhou and even the whole world. If he dies unexpectedly, it will be a loss for the whole world!"

"Well! You are better at speaking, Kasyapa..."

"Mr. Xu! I have to keep the precepts for my disciple first. If Mr. Xu intends to watch the ceremony, you may as well enter my small temple."

Having said this, Saint Ananda waved his hand again and teleported everyone back to the Bodhi tree. Only Xu Wan and Wei Ying were left staring at each other. Then, the two of them disappeared from the spot at the same time and then appeared under the Bodhi tree.
