Luo Duo said with a smile: "We have always speculated, but we have never seen the Buddha cave, and we are not sure what is going on." ”

"On the sand table, the location of the relics is naturally where the Buddha cave is located." Chu Huan said: "It's just that I can't understand where it is." ”

"In fact, it has been marked, and others don't know it, but we can see it." Luo Duo walked to Chu Huan's side and said, "After we took out the ashes of our ancestors from the pagoda, we set off immediately, time is pressing, we can't delay." ”

Chu Huan nodded slightly, since he already knew the location of the Buddha cave, then the Longtai would have no effect on the few people present, Chu Huan knew that the next time he opened the Longtai, it would be more than seventy years later, if nothing else, by that time, the few people present had already left the world.

Out of the dragon platform, Luo Duo walked outside the Buddha hall, only to see that on the square, thousands of disciples had been densely gathered, the fire was bright, Chu Huan followed behind Luo Duo, only then did he see clearly, the disciples on the square, almost all of them were bare-headed monks, although they saw a figure gathered in the square before, but they didn't look closely, only then did they know that the people gathered in the square were monks.

The country of Buddha is the base camp of the Heart Sect, just as Zen Buddhism was dominant in the Central Plains, and the Heart Sect from the same origin as Zen Buddhism has established a foothold in the Western Regions and has become the first major religion in the Western Regions.

From the princes and nobles of the Western Regions to the common people, there are countless believers who believe in Xinzong, just like the original Central Plains, and those who believe in Zen Buddhism are also all over the world.

In the territory of the Buddha's country, there are naturally not a few monks who have seen through the red dust, and Lotus City is the capital of the Buddha's country, and there are thousands of monks in the city.

On the square, although thousands of disciples gathered, they were silent.

Luo Tanluo led more than ten disciples to live in front of the door of the Buddha hall on the left and right, bowing slightly to Luo Duo, Luo Duo glanced at it, bowed slightly to Luo Tanluo, Luo Tanluo made a gesture, and immediately two disciples came out from the side, these two people each held a long pole in their hands, when Chu Huan looked up, he found that these two people were holding an open-screen peacock, and the two of them each grabbed one of the peacock's legs.

Luo Duo clasped his hands together, chanted in a low voice, raised his head suddenly, and let out a strange scream, the two disciples were already slowly walking down the steps with peacocks, Luo Duo followed, Chu Huan saw this, and could only follow behind, Vi Liuli and Viliu Bocha also followed, and Luo Luo Luo and the others followed behind.

The peacock led the way, and after a few steps, Chu Huan heard the sound of chanting behind him, and when he looked back, he found that the disciples in the square had lined up to follow, the team was orderly, almost all of them were clasping their hands together, chanting in a low voice, thousands of people chanting, the scene was naturally extremely spectacular, and the sound of chanting was even more low and solemn.

There were lights burning in the square, and it was midnight at this time, Chu Huan was worried that it would be dark along the way, and it would be difficult to recognize the road, but he soon knew that he was worrying about the sky.

On both sides of the long street, the houses on both sides have opened their doors, and on both sides of the long street, there are kneeling residents, all of whom are kneeling on the ground reverently, burying their heads in the ground, and a lamp is hung in front of each house, and the lights are bright, illuminating the long street as bright as day.

Chu Huan saw it in his eyes, and secretly felt frightened, thinking that the belief of the people of the Buddha Kingdom in the Heart Sect was already deep in the bone marrow, this seemingly simple scene, but it made Chu Huan truly understand the status of the Heart Sect in the Western Regions.

Along the way, the residents were all kneeling on both sides reverently and quietly, and the disciples of the Long Dragon Heart Sect were chanting along the way, and they walked like this for more than an hour, and when it came to the ugly hour, Chu Huan saw a round tower in front of him, this stone tower was very different from other pagodas in the city, the whole body was round, if it was not for the umbrella cover at the top, it was like a pillar standing on the ground.

It's just that the pillars are like Buddha halls all around, and there are no dwellings, and they are extremely empty, and seeing that there is still some distance from the pagoda, the front is convenient, but Luo Duo does not stop, while walking forward, without looking back, he says: "The dragon king comes with me!" ”

Chu Huan was about to stop, but when he heard Chu Huan say this, he followed Luo Duo over and asked, "Big brother, is this the pagoda where the ashes of the ancestors are placed?" ”

"Exactly!" Luo Mian walked to the side and said: "But in the Heart Sect, this tower is called the Six Dao Pagoda, 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 one floor!" ”

"Oh?" Chu Huan said: "The Six Dao Towers are the meaning of the Six Dao Reincarnation? ”

Rhodo shook his head and said, "Not really. These six pagodas have two uses, the first purpose, as you already know, is to house the ashes of the Buddha's Mother and Holy Kings and the eight tribes and the sixteen Arhats. When their physical bodies are in the world, they are all for the purpose of transforming thousands of living beings in the human realm, and after they pass away, they are sent to the six realms of the pagoda, and they can be transferred to other realms and continue to transform into beings in other realms. ”

As they spoke, the two of them got closer and closer to the Six Dao Pagoda, and the closer they got, the more the Six Dao Pagoda seemed to tower, although it was just a simple circular pagoda, but it exuded a majestic and sacred atmosphere.

"To the second use!" Luo Duo paused before saying, "That's to punish the disciples of the Heart Sect who have made great mistakes or even betrayed the Sect. ”

"Oh?"

"The top layer of the Six Dao Pagoda is used to worship the Buddha Mother, and the second floor is used to worship the Holy King." Rhodo patiently explained: "On the next level, there are the four heavenly kings of the heavens, and on the next level, there are the kings of the seven tribes headed by the dragon king, Garuda, Kinara, Gandharva, Yaksha, Maghuraja, and the kings of the Shura tribes, all of whom are enshrined here with the dragon king. ”

Chu Huan suddenly realized: "The first layer on the ground is naturally the ashes of the Arhats of the past dynasties. ”

Rodo said: "Exactly. He didn't turn his head, but still said as he went: "And the layer under the ground, that is, the bottom of the Six Dao Pagodas, is the place of confinement, which we call Vinaya!" ”

"Penaya?"

"According to your words, it may be called the land of discipline. This Vinaya is the first place of punishment of my Heart Sect. Luo Duo said: "Although since the founding of the Heart Sect by the Great Polo Monks, the Eight Divisions have always been the protectors of the Heart Sect, but because of the different depths of Buddhism, there are also some disciples who have fallen into the evil path, deviated from the Dharma of the Heart Sect, and even committed sins that the Heart Sect categorically cannot allow, in this case, they must be punished in accordance with the laws and regulations passed down from the Heart Sect. ”

Chu Huan asked, "Is it true that the disciples of the Heart Sect have violated the laws and regulations and have to enter Vinaya?" ”

Luo Duo shook his head and said, "Naturally, this is not the case, Vinaya is only aimed at the eight tribes, Arhat Vajra and ordinary disciples, even if they violate the law, they have other ways to punish them." Even the Eight Tribes did not break the law to enter Penaya. At this time, it was only ten steps away from the Six Dao Pagoda, and Luo Duo stopped and said slowly: "The precepts extinguish all wrongdoings, or the clouds extinguish, just like the laws of the world, cut off the serious sins, so the cloud law harmonizes the work of the body, speech and mind, and subdues all the important actions, so the clouds are subdued." ”

Chu Huan was a little puzzled when he heard the clouds and mountains and mist, and Luo Duo had already explained: "The Eight Divisions are the protectors of the Heart Sect, and they have a very high prestige in the countries of the Western Regions, and they also have their own Dharma fields. The Mother of Buddha and the Holy King are located in the Lotus City, but the Buddha Kingdom is not the only city, from top to bottom, there are thirteen cities in the entire Buddha Country, and the countries of the Western Regions that believe in the Heart Sect are now dozens, large and small, adding up to no less than hundreds of cities. Wei Yi pondered before continuing: "The Buddha Kingdom respects the Buddha Mother, but the decision is made by the Holy King, needless to say, but the political affairs of the Western Regions have their own kings, and the Buddha needs eight protectors. ”

Chu Huan frowned and said, "Does the eldest brother mean that the matters concerning Buddhism and religion in all countries are decided by the members of the eight tribes of the Heart Sect?" ”

"Exactly." Luo Duo said: "Every year, there will be a lot of sacrifices in various countries, that is, the new monarch's accession to the throne, the marriage of the monarch and many other matters, all of which need the blessing of the Dharma protector gods. For example, in the northwest of the Wulu country, as early as the time when the Wusha country took the heart sect as the state religion, the Buddha's mother gave its protector deity as Garuda, so many Buddhist things in the Wusha country are undertaken by the Garuda department, if Garuda cannot be present in person, he must also send someone from the Garuda tribe to preside, and the Wusha country, the protector deity of the whole country is Garuda! ”

When Chu Huan heard this, he suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but say: "I see, no wonder it's when I was in the ghost side!" But he didn't go on.

"Ghost Fang?" Rodo finally turned his head to look.

Chu Huan said: "In Anyi Dao in the Central Plains, there is a group of people who are descendants of the Western Regions, they call themselves the Ghost Fang people, and now they have lived in the Central Plains for several generations, but they still maintain some traditions and beliefs in the Western Regions. I saw the sculpture of Makhuraja in them, and they said it was their protector deity, which I didn't understand at the time, but now I know that it is so. ”

Luo Duo said with a smile: "In this way, when the ancestors of those people were in the Western Regions, the protector deity of their country was Mohuraka, and all the Dharma affairs in the country were presided over by the Mohurajia. After a pause, he continued: "The eight tribes deal with everything, and the Heart Sect naturally has a set of laws and regulations to regulate their words and deeds, large and small regulations, if they violate, they have their own dragon department to supervise and enforce the law, and then if the eight tribes violate the three major precepts of the Heart Sect, they must undergo the most serious trial. ”

"Three precepts?"

"There are many sects of Buddhism, and each of them has different Buddhist teachings, and their Vinayas, that is, the precepts, are also different." Rhodo is colorful.

Chu Huan immediately said: "Is it like the Central Plains Zen Buddhism that has four major precepts?" ”

"The four precepts of Zen Buddhism are killing, stealing, fornication, and delusion." Luo Duo said: "This is actually the four fundamental precepts of Zen Buddhism, which belong to the practice precepts of Hinayana path, not the four fundamental precepts of Buddhism. To practice Buddhism, we must have a big heart, cultivate the five precepts and ten virtues of Mahayana, develop bodhicitta and save the hearts of sentient beings, and only by practicing Mahayana Buddhism can we achieve ultimate liberation. However, in the human world, the three precepts of the Heart Sect are also the Hinayana three precepts that belong to the Heart Sect itself, which are very similar to Zen Buddhism. ”

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

"Or the three major precepts of the eight tribes, which are for killing, fornication, and recall!" Rhodo's expression was solemn, "Those who kill innocents indiscriminately, those who are physically and mentally obscene, and those who turn their backs on the Heart Sect, these are the three major precepts of the Eight Sects of the Heart Sect, and there are punishments for violating the other precepts of the Heart Sect, but once the Eight Sects violate these three precepts, there are only two ways to go." ”
