Chapter 267: Puja (5)
On this day, it snowed heavily.
The whole day of the sky was covered by goose feather-like snow, which made people look up and couldn't see the sky clearly.
The heavy snow was falling in a chaotic manner, blocking the view of pedestrians, and few people walked on the street.
Nanyuan gradually became lively at this time.
On a bluestone road leading from the gate to the main hall, a thick layer of snow fell on it, and it creaked when stepped on.
In this festival, Nanyuan was short of manpower, and some people were temporarily transferred to clean up.
At the entrance of Nanyuan, a notice was posted that innocent teenagers from nearby families could sign up to participate in serving and cleaning, although the salary was not high, but it was also a salary, and naturally some people were willing.
At this time, a group of people are sweeping the snow on the road, but after sweeping one layer, another layer will fall.
"When is this snow going to fall?" a young man looked up, rubbed his frozen red face with his hand, and looked sad: "In this way, the snow on the road is indeed not clean, and we sweep this area, aren't we working in vain?"
The companion behind him was about the same age as him, and when he heard what he said, he sneered: "You obviously want to be lazy! What do you say about the snow and then sweep it, do you want the snow to stop, and the snow can stop? This snow is only afraid that it will not stop for three days, and if you wait for the snow to stop and then sweep it, you and I will have been punished by the adults in the yamen, and we will not ask for wages!"
"This snow is not falling, it makes people anxious!"
Another young man said, "Don't worry, although this snow keeps falling, as long as we don't be lazy, we don't care if there is some snow on the ground, but we don't clean it and let the snow keep falling, I'm afraid that we will lose our feet after a while." Then you won't punish you and me?"
"Besides, this work is not hard, it's just colder, but now you have a salary for sweeping at will, and you still have food to eat when you go back, which is already a good thing, do you think this is the truth?"
"Well, that's what I'm saying, in that case, let's continue to sweep!" they chatted while sweeping, and slowly didn't feel that this work was too hard.
Originally, if it weren't for the heavy snow in the past few days, how could they recruit people to give out money?
I want to get more money, and I want to do things without hard work, how can there be such a reason?
β...... Several road chiefs, please walk from here. β
As a few people were talking, a sound of footsteps accompanied by a man's voice came from the forest road, and he hurriedly raised his head and followed the sound.
In the distance of the road, a soldier was giving directions to several people.
These people were dressed in Taoist robes, old and young, and they all looked like people of the Tao, and they all bowed and thanked them, and then came in.
There was a white beard, with a childlike face, and a bit of fairy atmosphere, and when they saw this posture, they didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly retreated to the side of the road to make way for them.
Watching them walk past, their backs gradually drifted away, and several people walked back.
"I heard that today is the day of the Faja, do you know what the puja is?" The young man who first asked him was not very old and had rarely seen these things, so he was a little puzzled and asked his companion.
His companion, who was a few years older than him, was somewhat knowledgeable, and while sweeping the floor, he replied casually, "O Fa, let's just get out of the matter of family participation? Where do I know this, where can we, the poor people, know this when we have been running around since we were children to get something to eat?"
"That's right. The two of them sighed a few words, and continued to work, so that the adults would be punished if they saw that they were lazy, and it was better to be diligent.
Several Taoists who walked in front of them signaled the same trouble, and since they came in, there were more monks and Taoists passing by this way.
At this time, a burst of bells came from a melodious distance, spreading all over Nanyuan, which was the signal of the official convocation.
The middle hall is the core, the distribution of four roads, separated by the forest road, has a solemn and solemn atmosphere, at this time, there are more and more monks and Taoists.
For a moment, I saw a group of monks appear on the West Road, and the fish came out in a row, all of them hung Buddha beads in their hands, looked at the nose, looked at the nose and looked at the heart, the treasure was solemn, and the palms were together.
There is a big monk in the middle, dressed in a robe, who looks no more than forty years old, with a slender and chic figure, a somewhat slender face, and a pair of deep eyes, with a certain clear divine light, showing a transcendent posture like standing out from the crowd.
Although they were walking, the monks kept chanting, and the rhythm rose and fell.
In the distance, Tong Xuan and Pingzhen looked at it, and couldn't help but sneer, neither of them was happy or angry, and their expressions were slightly excited.
"Emperor Xinzun sees!" After a while, Tong Xuan said, his tone flat.
Ping Zhen sneered and said, "When you get here, you're still so arrogant!"
Tong Xuan said flatly, "He is the Emperor Heart Venerable, and he can be regarded as the dragon son and grandson of the former Dynasty Dayan, and it is easy to understand a little shelf." β
"The shelves are given by people, and those who dare to get close to them now are people who don't know each other.
After the decree was promulgated, the whole of Jinling was moved.
This matter does not seem to be serious, but the king of Chu respects the monks and Taoists and invites them to hold a Dharma meeting to preach the law of the two paths.
But thoughtful people should think about whether King Chu's move has a deeper meaning.
In connection with what I faintly heard, some people who had contact with monks and Taoists on weekdays were sweating on their foreheads.
Regardless of whether they guessed the deep meaning or not, they secretly ordered them to go down, but the children of the clan, far away from the monks and Taoists during this time, must not be involved in this matter.
Now that the situation of the Chu Dynasty has stabilized, the King of Chu is strong, and some families and people, even if they have been careful, most of them have dispelled their thoughts.
Among the princes, in terms of strength and national strength, can he be compared to the king of Chu?
Do you want to go to the Hu people?
The state of Chu is already the strongest, and he will not get along with himself, and he will put his family on the fire to cook.
So, no matter what happens after the puja, some families and individuals who notice that the atmosphere is not right have already made some preparations before the end.
These undercurrents are quietly moving, and it is impossible for the monks and Taoists participating in the puja to be unaware.
Ping Zhen's eyes flashed, and he said, "There are still some people who follow, but the king has already dispatched two armies, one cavalry and one guard, a total of 6,000 people, there is really something, even if there are 8,000 monks here, they will be destroyed in a blink of an eye." β
During the time of the Dharma meeting, the elite Chu army was sent to inspect the periphery of Nanyuan, one was a cavalry of 3,000 people, and the other was a soldier wearing armor.
However, most cultivators are still only cultivating, and they are not good at the art of fighting, let alone 6,000 people, even 3,000 people, they can be killed in one go.
Of course, Wang Hongyi will not do this, behind these people is the entire religious and spiritual circle, unless the world is unified and willing to take risks, otherwise it is impossible to do so.
For Wang Hongyi, it is enough to achieve Gu one step now.
Tong Xuan and Pingzhen looked at it, of course the Emperor Heart Venerable had a sense, and he lowered his head and recited the Buddha's name, which was quiet
The little Buddha number, in the chanting, does not contradict, but it is as clear as a tiger among the beasts.
The Buddha's name shook dΓ ng, and the ear drum of Tongxuan and Pingzhen in the distance suddenly shook, and in an instant, his mind went blank, although he immediately woke up, he couldn't help but change.
"This human fruit is a great achievement, and it is a law?" Tong Xuan lΓΉ let out a hint of surprise and watched this group of people enter the hall.
Emperor Heart Venerable stepped in, and suddenly his whole body was shocked.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that the strong dragon aura in the hall was permeated, making a black dragon in his body vibrate, and the black dragon in his body was no more than an inch, with teeth and claws.
"It's almost the same as the Son of Heaven?" Venerable Emperor Xin thought silently, although his own dragon qi, although it was small, he first cultivated it with his own dragon qi, and then absorbed a treasure close to the emperor, with a trace of authentic heavenly qi.
Now it's reacting, but it's almost comparable, which is not good news.
And he thought in his heart, but he did not flow and entered the temple.
This hall uses 300 large pillars to open up a huge space, and thousands of people stand in it, giving people a feeling of emptiness.
This hall can accommodate 3,000 or 6,000 monks, and there are many disciples in it who follow to see the excitement, so the backbone goes in, and three thousand people are more than enough.
Wang Hongyi is not a stingy person in this regard, this empty hall, after being finalized as the venue, Wang Hongyi ordered to be repaired and cleaned up.
Now at a glance, the floor is new, in the middle corridor, there is a brazier every few meters, there is a high platform on the top, which is used for arguments, and there is a row of seats below, which is where the monks and Taoist leaders sit.
There are dense futons underneath for the use of monks and Taoists of slightly lower status, but faintly, the monks and Taoists are separated.
When they reached the upper seat, the surrounding monks stood up and bowed.
Venerable Emperor Xin looked at the two monks and saluted, "It turns out that the two senior brothers have arrived, and they are polite." β
The two monks are both in their fifties, their eyebrows are white, their faces are solemn and peaceful, their eyes are half-open and half-closed, and their eyes are shining with clear light. β
Divided the seats and sat down, and after a while, a whip sounded, several officials came to the stage, and the hall suddenly fell silent......
Yu Liangbo went up, swept the crowd, now he is only about thirty years old, so many years of practice, he is more and more deep and heavy, not smiling, and at this time the luck is also completely promoted to the green sΓ¨, even in the face of so many monks, he does not feel the slightest restraint and oppression, said: "At the behest of the king, this Dharma meeting is summoned, the law is not clear, and the Tao is not clear, so please ask all the monks and all the Taoists to talk about their own laws, so as to distinguish between high and low." β
"Each ancestral hall and temple has its own view, there is a patriarch who prays for a good effect, or obtains the fruit of the Dharma, but there is no fruit number, with the above smell, can be distinguished from the Fa, after the Fa meeting, the king will be according to the rank, can be specially sealed." β
"This is divided into four grades, the first level is sealed, the second level is given the number, the third level is given the plaque, and the fourth level is given gold!"
After saying this, the monks below suddenly discussed.
What this means is that all the sects and sects, you use discrimination to determine the superiority, and your teachers have achieved positive results in cultivation, but they do not have an official name, they can all put it forward, and as long as they are determined, they will be sealed to varying degrees.
This was an unprecedented grace, and for a time, everyone was talking about it.
Even a few holy monks couldn't help but join together, chanting a Buddha horn in a low voice, and their hearts were a little strange.
Is Wang Hongyi so respectful of the Tao and Brahma?@.
