In the Great Assembly, generosity expands its influence and gains more believers.

The most important part of the conference is the lecture of the monks, this time, the Buddhists claim that in this Buddhist event, there are 10,000 monks gathered in Gaoyang, Hebei. In fact, ten thousand monks may not have one, but it's not much worse.

Just when the almsgiving was almost complete, the newly cast large bronze bell rang on the bell and drum tower of the east city in Gaoyang City.

"Bell! Clang! Clang! ”

The big bell that has been heard for a long time rang melodiously, which directly invigorated people's hearts.

The bell rang one by one, and it didn't stop for a long time. At this time, the big drum sounded again, and Liu Tantou, with the help of the two soldiers, stood at the front of the huge altar in the venue with his father-in-law. Listening to the sound of the drums, he immediately heard that it was the sound of at least a hundred drums. When he was conquering Liao, he once saw Yang Guang reviewing the scene of 500,000 troops in Huaiyuan Town.

500,000 people almost filled the endless plain, and when Yang Guang inspected it, the war drums were even more powerful than this, and the big drums had at least a thousand faces.

Amid the sound of bells and drums, there was a sudden loud sound of chanting Sanskrit scriptures, which was formed by the sound of thousands of monks chanting.

As the sound got closer and closer, I saw that the crowd in the north voluntarily gave way to a wide passage, and hundreds of small novices in front of them stepped into the venue bareheaded, wearing monk's robes and holding prayer flags.

Behind the little novice. Thousands of young monks, beating wooden fish one by one, chanting scriptures slowly and neatly walked into the venue.

Shocked!

Liu Tantou only saw the appearance of these novices and young monks, and he already felt deeply shocked. In the mountains behind Liujiazhuang, there is also a dilapidated small temple. Inside was an extremely old white-bearded monk. However, although the monk also recites sutras and recites scriptures every day, he has never felt only cordial. But seeing such a pompous monk today, he felt as if he faced Yang Guang back then.

The Monk continues to play. At this time, it was no longer those white-robed monks who appeared, but those old monks in robes, and these monks were all extremely spiritual. Each man was armed with a large iron staff. While walking, the iron rings on the Zen staff intersected, and the sound of Ding Ding bell was non-stop.

The old man was also watching the flow of his eyes on the side, so he was not surprised. The Wujia Conference is usually held once every five years, and the last time he saw it was in Zhuo County five years ago. That time, there was a senior monk Master Huineng presiding, but he didn't appear like this at all.

Seeing Liu Tantou's surprised look, he smiled and said, "These are the abbots of various temples and some famous temple elders. These are all eminent monks. ”

Liu Tantou was even more surprised when he heard this, so many old monks are all at the abbot level, so this old monk who can't be seen at a glance (netizens who like this book also like: The latest chapter of the happy couple in the Southern Song Dynasty). Isn't there a more innumerable number of temples?

Just when he was still surprised, suddenly there was another burst of noise. Liu Tantou looked up, but this time he was even more surprised. I saw that after the group of abbots passed, not far away, they were all women.

A gust of north wind blew, blowing the countless prayer flags and hunting, and also blowing the green silk of these young women who came to them all flying lightly, revealing the young and beautiful faces.

"This, this, how can there be a woman in the temple?" Liu Tantou was really stunned.

"Don't talk nonsense," the old man hurriedly interrupted him, "these are the female laymen in the nunnery in Buddhism, and the monks in Buddhism are monks, the men are monks, and the women are nuns. That is, what we call monks and nuns, where the nuns practice, the big ones are also called temples, and the small ones are called nunnery. Among them, there are lay people who lead the practice of hair and nuns who have been ordained and ordained. What came out of this front was the layman with the hair, so don't talk nonsense. ”…,

Behind these laymen were an equally large number of bald nuns, some old and some young, but the few were the majority. Liu Tantou was stunned when he looked at it from behind, he had lived for thirty years, and he had never seen so many women like today. And most of them are young women, all dressed in white clothes, fluttering out of the dust.

"Bell, bell!"

There was another bell and drum ringing, and when the large group of nuns also passed, a large group of men and horses came behind them. This time there were more flags and more drummers.

When the rows of neat arrays like the front of the army ushered in, Liu Tantou returned to the battlefield in Liaodong that year. But the shiny big bald head told him that he was still in Gaoyang to participate in the Wujia Conference.

With thirty people as a horizontal and thirty people as a vertical, a phalanx is nine hundred long burly and sturdy monks. These monks did not carry wooden fish or prayer flags, let alone robes, and the queue of 900 people, with four monks in front and back, 3,600 monks, each holding an eyebrow-high short stick and a belt like a horizontal knife. The monks were dressed in short-cut robes and had a round black shield on their backs.

The old man on the side gasped and exclaimed, "These people are all warrior monks, but why are there so many warrior monks." Looking at this formation, it is not a warrior monk temporarily drawn from various temples at all, this is like a long-trained army. ”

Liu Tantou nodded, "These people act in unison, it is indeed a tacit understanding, they must have been trained for a long time, not a moment (netizens who like this novel recommend you to read: Deep Immortal Fate)." ”

In the midst of the old man's frowning brows, four arrays of warrior monks walked by, and behind them was a huge wooden platform, carried forward by hundreds of monks. Looking from afar, I saw that on the wooden platform, there was a * master wearing a purple and gold robe and holding a purple and gold Zen staff. The mage looked to be in his forties, and under that shining omen, his eyes were like lightning.

He sat cross-legged on the wooden platform, holding a staff in one hand and the other in front of his eyes, chanting words in his mouth, and constantly reciting scriptures.

Behind him, however, there was a woman, a bhikshuni. Under the same bare head. Dressed in a robe, his face was holy. But even if she closed her eyes and chanted, she still couldn't hide her appearance. Liu Tantou had already heard the exclamations of the people behind him and remembered, no one thought that there would be such a beautiful nun.

The two guards standing next to the charcoal head said softly. "This is the abbot of Hengshan Tianlong Temple, and it is said that he is also the youngest abbot of Tianlong Temple, just over forty this year. His legal name is Tan Sheng. It is said that he left the house after the age of 20, and his family name was Gao. The bhikshuni on this side is also the abbot of Jingxuan in the Hanging Heaven Nunnery on Heng Mountain. ”

Good half a day. The shocking appearance ceremony was finally completed. The abbot of this unattended conference. The abbot of Tianlong Temple ascends the altar and sits cross-legged in the middle of the four high monks. And the hostess Jing Xuan, who came together on the wooden platform, actually followed the altar again at this time, and sat cross-legged behind Gao Tansheng.

Tan Sheng closed his eyes and began to chant, and the nearly 10,000 monks around the altar began to chant in unison.

At this time, the surrounding people also knelt in the snow to pray for blessings, and for a while, the Sanskrit scriptures echoed everywhere in the county town.

After reciting the scriptures for more than an hour, the sky grew dark.

Tan Sheng suddenly opened his eyes. His gaze swept over the crowd of black crows below like lightning, attracting the attention of countless people and people.

"The Maitreya Buddha has just sent down an oracle!"

The Maitreya Buddha is also worshipped by many people in the Central Plains, but more often. The Maitreya Buddha has been used again and again by those with ulterior motives to confuse the people of the world and conspire. Especially in troubled times. Many borrowed Maitreya to rebel.

As soon as the old man heard Tan Sheng say that Maitreya had sent down an oracle, the bad feeling became even stronger.

"Now is the time for Maitreya to rob each other, and people are hurting each other for their treasures, and they are locked up in prison and afflicted." Tan Sheng slowly stood up and said loudly.

At this moment, the already dark sky suddenly blew a gust of north wind, and then the sky was covered with dark clouds, completely blackened, as dark as midnight, and the five fingers were not visible (netizens who like this book also like: The latest chapter of Love Shou Taoyao).

Countless sounds of panic sounded, and even people had already trampled on each other.
