Chapter 609: Chang'an Dharma Exchange Conference
?? Escaping from the wing room to the Buddha hall in front of the temple, Richard was surprised to find that there were many more people in the temple today than usual, and the vast majority of them were not believers, but monks wearing monk's robes or robes.
Every monk's pace was hurried, walking in one direction, Richard couldn't help but be a little curious when he saw this, and pulled a little monk he knew in the temple and asked curiously, "Is today a special day?" β
"Simon donor." The little monk saw Richard first clasped his hands together and bowed respectfully, Shi Zhixuan had already explained, and when he saw Richard, he would be like seeing him. He immediately said: "Today is the day of the Chang'an Dharma Exchange Conference, and the abbots of every temple in Chang'an City have come to the temple to exchange Buddhism. If Lord Simon is interested, you can go and see, now everyone is in the Daxiong Treasure Hall. β
"I see." Richard nodded, his face couldn't laugh or cry, he thought that Shi Zhixuan, a fake monk, had become the abbot of this huge temple in Chang'an City, and it was inconceivable that he had become a famous monk in Chang'an City, but he didn't expect this guy to make a Chang'an Dharma Exchange Conference with great fanfare.
Following the flow of people towards the Daxiong Treasure Hall, some young monks who came with their own abbot looked at Richard curiously along the way, and didn't understand why Richard, dressed as a chivalrous man, appeared here.
Walk into the Daxiong Treasure Hall, there are already many monks in the huge Daxiong Treasure Hall, there are futons one after another in the center, many futons sit on the monks wearing robes, most of these monks are white hair and look amiable, these are the abbots of various temples in Chang'an, and the young monks who came with them are standing aside and waiting, and some even stand outside the Daxiong Treasure Hall.
Richard looked around, no one he knew, when he looked ahead, he finally saw two acquaintances, one was Shi Zhixuan, I saw that he was wearing a red robe, embroidered with gold and silver threads, and inlaid with glass, coral, amber, clams, agate five kinds of valuable jewelry, adding up to the seven treasures of Buddhism.
The other person is the emptiness of the meditation monastery, he is still the same, his face is handsome like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, the robe on his body is far less luxurious than the one on Shi Zhixuan's body, just an ordinary robe, his eyes are closed, sitting on the futon as if he doesn't care about the world.
Richard glanced at Kong, his face was a little surprised, he never expected the appearance of Kong, after all, Shi Zhixuan went to the Jingnian Zen Temple to rob the Heshi Bi kept by Kong, and the two sides also formed a feud because of this, if they want to change it to Richard, they will not come to anything.
Shi Zhixuan raised his eyes and saw Richard, a blue suit Richard was standing in the middle of a group of monks, it was difficult not to notice, he smiled and beckoned to Richard, signaling him to come over.
Richard approached, Shi Zhixuan patted the futon beside him and asked him to sit down, and then said with a smile: "It's just in time, I'm planning to send someone to ask you to come over." β
Richard couldn't help but ask curiously, "Aren't you the Chang'an Dharma Exchange Conference?" What did you call me for? β
Shi Zhixuan smiled, "Although it is said that it is the Chang'an Dharma Exchange Conference, but I invited a few high-ranking monks to support the faΓ§ade, otherwise it seems that the Chang'an Buddhism Exchange Conference I held is more than the same as the card, it just so happens that these monks are also a little related to you, so I borrowed your name a little, and when they come, I have to rely on you to receive them." β
Richard understood when he heard it, this is just like the truth that a certain unit in the county will invite experts from the city to hold an exchange meeting, and the city will invite experts from the province, and then he frowned again, the senior monk who has a relationship with him is still invited by his name and asked him to receive it, who is this senior monk?
Richard flew through his mind for a moment, the people he knew who could be called a high monk, the empty news of Shaolin Temple and the monk Sandu? It's impossible, I shouldn't have heard that all the opportunities will come, and Sandu is even more so... After excluding the Shaolin Temple, the only monk he knew was the fake monk Shi Zhixuan in front of him, and ......
Three pretty figures appeared in Richard's mind, and he shuddered and turned his head to look at Shi Zhixuan, just in time to meet Shi Zhixuan's smiling gaze, "It seems that you have guessed it." β
At this time, a voice suddenly came from outside the Daxiong Treasure Hall, "Daoxin, Jiaxiang, and Huaxin are here!" β
Really!
Richard smiled bitterly, and suddenly understood why the void appeared here, why Shi Zhixuan held this Chang'an Dharma Exchange Conference for the first time, so many people came, where is his big face, it is clearly because of the three of Daoxin, Jiaxiang, Huaxin!
Outside the door, three figures walked in, from left to right were Jiaxiang Daoxin and Huaxin, all three of them were wearing robes today, and their little faces jumped up and there was a solemn feeling of sacred and inviolable treasures.
All the monks in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, including Shi Zhixuan and Likong, stood up, bent down towards Jiaxiang and the three of them with their hands folded, and said, "I've seen the monks." β
Daoxin nodded and walked forward, Jiaxiang on the left hand side followed Daoxin while his eyes kept scanning back and forth in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and soon she saw Richard beside Shi Zhixuan, and pulled Daoxin's robe and pointed at Richard.
Daoxin immediately saw Richard as well, and his eyes lit up and he walked towards Richard. Hua Xin walked at the back, looking at the monks who were still bent over, and stammered, "You... You guys... Get up. β
"Good Samaritan!" Jiaxiang walked in front of Richard and waved at Richard with a smile, if it weren't for the many monks looking at him and Daoxin blocking him, she would have pounced on Richard now and ordered something to eat.
Richard couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why are you guys here?" β
Daoxin frowned, and asked rhetorically, "Didn't you ask Shi Zhixuan to send us a message saying that you were going to hold some Chang'an Dharma Exchange Conference here?" β
Richard glanced at Shi Zhixuan beside him out of the corner of his eye, and said with a wry smile: "Yes, that's right." It's just that I didn't expect you to really come, so since you're here, I'll ask you. β
Not far away, he clearly heard the conversation of Richard and the others, opened his eyes and glanced at Richard, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and finally turned into a touch of shock.
He knew about the four great monks chasing and killing Shi Zhixuan in the early years, and the enmity between them and Shi Zhixuan could even be said to be deeper than that between him and Shi Zhixuan, so when he heard that the three of Jiaxiang would come at the Chang'an Buddhist Exchange Conference a few days ago, he was disdainful, and today he came with the mentality of watching Shi Zhixuan's jokes.
However, he never expected that the three of Jiaxiang were really here! Shi Zhixuan just pretended to be in the name of Richard, and let Daoxin, Jiaxiang, and Huaxin put aside their hatred and came here without hesitation!
How high is this guy's status in the hearts of the three monks?!
