Chapter 1056: Forcibly breaking into the Faliu Temple
Biqu Pavilion ., the fastest update of the latest chapter of struggle in the Tang Dynasty!
The reason why Cui Geng was able to let this heavy rain fall was, of course, not because of any magical powers, but because he skillfully used the physical knowledge of later generations.
There is a folk proverb in later generations, called "Aconitum wind, white-headed rain." ”
Like today's Xuanqing Lao Dao, Huijue monk and even Cui Geng, when he begged for rain today, the clouds he encountered were actually Cumulus congestus.
This cloud, although mainly composed of water droplets, appears dark at the base and top. However, at this time, the small water droplets in the clouds are not yet ready to rain, and generally do not rain. And when it moves, because there is a relatively strong updraft at the bottom of Cumulus congestus, the surrounding air has to flow to replenish it, so it will cause strong winds, which is what the aconitum wind means.
However, Cucumulus congestus does not necessarily mean that it will not rain. If there is a suitable opportunity, the Cumus congestus cloud continues to rise, and the water vapor in the cloud condenses into ice crystals, and it becomes a cumulonimbus cloud, which turns white in color, and it is time for rain.
Cui Geng used this principle to set the people of the city on fire when the thick cumulus cloud arrived.
When the fire is fired, the thermals rise, driving the Cumunellus clouds upward, and when they reach a certain height, it may rain.
It's not worth mentioning, but if you don't put it bluntly, it looks extremely profound, and Master Cui's mana is boundless.
……
……
The next day, outside Jincheng, on the official road.
A cavalry of more than 200 people, escorting Master Cui Guang, slowly moved forward.
Jin Qiaojue swallowed and spitted at the mouth, and said, "Mr. Cui, you have the Imperial Temple." To be forgiving and forgiving, it's not appropriate for us to do this, right? ”
"How is it not appropriate?" Cui Geng said confidently: "Now, am I a national teacher?" ”
"Of course it is."
"The most precious Buddha treasure of our Silla is the Buddha's finger bone, do you think so?"
"Uh...... The same can be said. ”
"Yes. Since I am the national teacher of Silla and am responsible for guarding the most precious Buddha treasure of Silla, isn't it just right? ”
"No, that's not what I said. This temple has a long history and is very famous in Silla. You've offended them badly, and it's not conducive to unifying the Silla temple? ”
Cui Gengxin said, I didn't plan to unify the Silla temple at all, and the safety was to snatch the Buddha's finger bones and run.
But he said: "In short, a certain mind has been decided, and the third prince should not say more." ”
Jin Qiaojue said helplessly: "Okay, it's good if you're happy." ”
Cui Gengdao: "By the way, where is this Buddha's finger bone enshrined by the monks of Faliu Temple?" ”
"It should be enshrined on the third floor of the Shakya Tower, and this tower is also called the Shadowless Tower."
"Why is it still called the Shadowless Tower?"
"That's it......"
While talking, he walked, and the effort was not much, and he had already arrived outside the Faliu Temple.
They made such a big move, and of course the monks in the Faliu Temple got the news. Now, the monks have been lining up outside the mountain gate and have been waiting for a long time.
The first person is none other than the monk Hye-jae, the former national teacher of Silla.
"Amitabha! See the Protector Zen Master! Monk Huijue led the monks of the whole temple to bow and salute.
Cui Geng smiled and said, "No courtesy." Brothers, are you welcoming the poor monks? Very good. The poor monks accept your kindness, so get up. ”
"Xie Guoshi."
The monks got up, but they did not move.
Cui Geng said: "You guys are out of the way, how can the poor monks enter the temple if you don't get out of the way?" ”
"Uh...... The Zen Master of the Protector is here to accept the respect of the monks of my whole temple, as for entering the temple...... No need. ”
"What? No...... Don't use it? ”
Cui Geng knew that he had to encounter some twists and turns here, but he never expected that the monks of this Faliu Temple would be so faceless.
He was furious and said, "What do you mean? Could it be that I, Cui Guang, am not worthy of entering your Faliu Temple? ”
Huijue explained: "It's not that it's unworthy, it's that it's not very suitable. If the poor monk remembers correctly, you once claimed that the Zhao Wen beside you was the incarnation of Maitreya Buddha. ”
"Yes, it does."
"That means you have a good relationship with Maitreya Buddha?"
"You can say the same thing."
"That's it. My Faliu Temple is mainly dedicated to Amitabha Buddha. There is a dispute between the Pure Land of Amitabha Buddha and the Pure Land of Maitreya, so it is better not to enter it. ”
This is not entirely unreasonable.
Buddhism has four major Pure Lands, namely the Pure Land of Amitabha Buddha, the Pure Land of Medicine King Buddha, the Pure Land of Buddha and the Pure Land of Maitreya.
Among them, the belief in Medicine King Buddha and Ah Buddha is not widespread. Mainly the two faiths of Amitabha Buddha and Maitreya Buddha are competing for believers.
For this bit of, it is not uncommon for several big temples to send monks and soldiers to fight.
Over time, it became customary for monks who believed in these two Buddhas to look at each other and not to visit each other's doors.
Cui Geng was slightly stunned and said, "No, isn't this Faliu Temple a temple built by Jin Dacheng in order to pray for the blessings of his parents in his previous life?" How did this become Amitabha's ashram? ”
"This is the national teacher who only knows one thing, but doesn't know the other. Two hundred years ago, a monk came from Goguryeo to Silla to preach and set up a nunnery here. Later, the wife of King Ho Hing built the temple for the Faluni teacher, and the temple was the ashram of Amitabha Buddha at that time. The temple of Jindaeshiro was just rebuilt.
After finishing speaking, Monk Huijue looked at Cui Geng with a smile, just waiting for him to obediently retreat according to the rules of Buddhism.
However, Cui Geng is not a Buddhist disciple at all. He came here today to take advantage of it, so how could he retreat easily?
Therefore, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Even if this is Amitabha Buddha's dojo, it doesn't matter!" I'm afraid that Zen Master Huijue misunderstood, the poor monk did not come to worship Amitabha Buddha. ”
"Then you are ......"
"The poor monk is not only a follower of Maitreya Buddha, but also a follower of Shakyamuni Buddha. The Buddha told me last night that the Buddha was very ominous, and he should not be offered to the Buddha's fingers, but should be moved by the poor monks to other places. ”
"Joke, Shakya Pagoda was built specifically for the Buddha's fingers, how can it be ominous?"
"Do you have to explain it to your own teacher? No one knows about this Silla, Shakya Tower is also called Shadowless Tower! ”
After a pause, Cui Geng recalled Kim Qiaojue's introduction just now, and said slowly: "When I wanted to build this tower, the Silla people were not skilled, so they invited a skilled craftsman from Baekje. Soon after the craftsman got married, his beloved wife was very worried, so she came to Faliu Temple to inquire about her husband's whereabouts. She came to ask every day, and the janitor of the Faliu Temple was annoyed, so he coaxed her and said, don't ask again in the future, when the tower shadow appears in the pond under the mountain, it will be the day when your husband returns. So the woman waited by the pool every day, waiting for her husband to return. She was so anxious that one day she hallucinated and saw her husband standing in the water, so she threw herself down and died at the bottom of the lake. After the husband finished repairing the tower, he knew that his wife was dead and committed suicide by throwing himself into the lake. Since then, people have called the tower "Shadowless Tower", which means that there is no trace of it at all. ”
In the end, Cui Geng's tone turned heavier, and he said sharply: "How can such a sinful pagoda worship the Buddha's finger bones?" Zang Xilie! ”
"In!"
"You take someone to break into the Faliu Temple and snatch back the Buddha's finger bones for me."
"Yes!"
Zang Xilie didn't care about that, he took the sergeant and forced his way in.
How can the monks in Faliu Temple stop him? I could only watch him enter the Faliu Temple and come in the direction of the Shakya Pagoda.
Monk Huijue stared anxiously, pulled his neck and shouted, "Can't! You guys are robbing! ”
"Even if you don't look at the face of my Faliu Temple, you have to look at the face of the Buddha, right? How noble is the finger bone of the Buddha, how can it be taken in such a hurry? You know, even the monks of my Faliu Temple only pay homage once a year, and they usually make offerings in the Shakya Pagoda! ”
"You...... You are not the true Buddha, you are the descendants of the demon king Bo Xun! I'm fighting with you! ”
……
He followed Zang Xilie and scolded, but Zang Xilie didn't care about him and went straight forward.
As he spoke, he had ascended to the third floor of the Shakya Pagoda.
The finger bones of the Buddha are enshrined here, and the gate is closed and the copper lock is attached.
Zang Xilie felt that he couldn't hold the key, so he kicked the door open.
"Huh?"
He looked inside and was dumbfounded.
