022, Master and Apprentice
Leshan is located in Meishan County, south of Chengdu, Sichuan, and is under the jurisdiction of Longyou County.
The famous Emei Mountain also belonged to Meishan County in this era.
Buddhism in Shu was prosperous, with many famous temples and many eminent monks. Mount Emei was known as the temple of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, monks built temples on Mount Emei. To this day, there are more than a hundred temples in Mount Emei, and the incense is flourishing.
Even the famous Master Xuanzang will come to Shuzhong to study in two years.
When I saw the Legend of the Two Dragons in the Tang Dynasty in my previous life, Ni Kun once speculated that the reason why Duzun Bao Jiehui betrayed his righteous brother and in-laws Song Que and fell into Li Tang's arms, Shi Feixuan's lobbying, Fan Qinghui's friendship was probably just superficial.
The deeper reason is probably because the Buddhist sect in Shu is too powerful, and the Lingnan Song family is beyond the reach of Shu.
In this world, Buddhism is not a fat sheep.
On the surface, people and animals are harmless and do not fight with the world. Only one Cihang Jingzhai fights with the Demon Sect. At most, the four great saints monks symbolically chase Shi Zhixuan. In fact, they not only have money and food, but also countless monks, many masters, and countless believers among the people, and they have very strong combat power.
What is a mere Du Zun Fortress in front of the huge Buddhist forces in Shu?
Of course, Duzun Castle is now over, and it was destroyed by the sudden appearance of Tang Sect, and Tang Sect was then driven away by Song Que.
Once the Duzun Castle was destroyed, the influence of the Song clan on Shu dropped to freezing point.
Even if the Tiandao Song Que decisively drove the Tang Sect, his power and harsh hands once shocked the Bashu martial arts world, this deterrent force will gradually disappear with the passage of time.
The Buddhism, which already has a strong potential, has further expanded its influence in Bashu due to the emergence of the "Leshan Giant Buddha".
Nowadays, in Longyou County, where Leshan is located, countless believers come to visit the giant Buddha every day.
Not only are there monks and nuns and believers from Bashu, but also eminent monks from other places, and even wealthy believers come from thousands of miles away.
During these days, the streets of Longyou County were filled with monks and nuns. Those who did not shaved their heads were mostly believers in Buddhism.
For a time, incense in Longyou County was in short supply, and inns and brothels were full day and night.
What? Buddhist believers should not live in brothels?
Joke, are they here to visit the cellar?
They are here to worship the "Royal Girl".
Because there were too many monks and nuns coming, they had to queue up to worship the giant Buddha. The giant Buddha statue sat on the back of the mountain, with mountains on three sides facing the river. At this time, there was no Lingyun Plank Road. Among the surrounding mountains, there was no mountain road. If you wanted to worship the giant Buddha, you could only take a boat to the foot of the giant Buddha, or worship the Buddha statue from afar on the river.
There were not so many ships in Longyou County for a while.
To go to worship Buddha, you have to make reservations in advance and queue up to rent a boat.
However, Buddhism is now mobilizing manpower and materials, urgently digging mountain roads, erecting cableways and plank roads, and even preparing to level the mountains on both sides of the Buddha statues to build temples to facilitate Buddhist fellow Buddhists and believers to worship.
But these projects are obviously not completed in a short period of time.
It was evening.
On the third floor of a restaurant facing the street in Longyou County, a girl in yellow dress with a light gauze leaned obliquely in front of the window, with her beautiful eyes as deep and clear as the night sky, looking at the street below, an old monk in gray who was begging for alms and not astonishingly beautiful.
"Are the Buddhist contemporary mountain guardian, Master Zhenyan?" said the girl in yellow dress in a low voice.
"Don't look at it, my wife."
In the elegant seat by the window, a woman wearing a white dress, with high clouds and a white gauze, and a mysterious and elegant temperament said lightly:
"The old man learned about the nine-character mantra of Buddhism. He has a clear Zen mind and a sharp spiritual awareness. If you look at him twice more, he will know your existence."
The girl in the yellow dress chuckled:
"So what if you know? Will the old man from Zhenyan bully the small and destroy the agreement between the Holy Sect and the Buddhist sect?"
The woman in white said lightly:
"The old man in Zhenyan will not bully the small ones by the big ones. But since he is here, Shi Feixuan, the contemporary descendant of Cihang Jingzhai, should be nearby. The sixteenth level of the Heavenly Demon Secret has not been completed for a long time, and has not yet reached the seventeenth level. If you are confronting Shi Feixuan now, you will not be sure to win. Don't start a provocation easily.
"Besides, the streets are full of Buddhist masters or so-called Baidao martial artists who are kind to Buddhism. If they reveal their own personalities, they will be called to destroy their identity. Those so-called Baidao in the martial arts world are not afraid of being arrogant to the weak."
The girl in the yellow dress smiled: "With Master, you are here, even if Zhenyan takes action personally, there is nothing scary."
The woman in white said, "I'm afraid, but I'm not afraid, but it's always a bit troublesome. We are just going to find out what is strange and mysterious about the so-called Buddha's appearance. It's not necessary to cause trouble."
The girl in yellow dress nodded and suddenly exclaimed:
"Hey, isn't that Uncle Wen? Why did she come too?"
"Caiting?" The woman in white turned her head and glanced out the window. She saw a graceful woman with long hair and buttocks, wearing a colorful Shu brocade dress and a gauze scarf, walking from the other end of the long street.
Next to the woman was a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old. The boy was dressed in brocade clothes and jade belt, with a golden crown tied with hair, and his hands were carried. He was handsome, fair in skin, handsome in appearance, calm in temperament, and looked like a prince.
The girl in yellow dress looked at the two people who were gradually walking down the restaurant and chuckled:
"Where did Uncle Wen kidnapped the prince of the aristocratic family? Look at the handsome appearance of that young man, I'm afraid he didn't know that he was already a sheep in the mouth of a tiger."
The woman in white frowned slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes:
"You uncle Wen looks a little wrong..."
The girl in the yellow dress said, "What's wrong?"
The woman in white said, "Don't you see that yet? Uncle Wen is always half a position behind the boy, and his expression is quite slight..."
As soon as he said this, the young man in brocade raised his hand and pointed at a street stall. The woman in colorful clothes immediately walked to the stall, took out copper coins from her purse, bought a candy man, and handed it to the young man in brocade with both hands.
The young man in brocade took the candy man, took a bite indifferently, and walked forward with a swagger. The woman in colorful clothes followed her step by step, with her expression and posture like a slave.
A hint of surprise flashed in the beautiful eyes of the girl in yellow dress:
"This... why is Uncle Wen...Isn't he having fun? Or is that the young master is too big and Uncle Wen is using a plan? If you want to get it, please?"
The woman in white frowned and shook her head: "But she doesn't look like..."
After pondering for a while, the woman in white said again:
"Wan, come and take a look. If you, Master Uncle Wen, just play, you don't have to worry about it. If she is trapped, don't take action rashly, come back and report it to me."
The girl in yellow dress blinked: "But that young man doesn't have much martial arts..."
The woman in white said, "Don't be careless. You can hide your true energy in the "living and death hole" and make yourself look like a weak woman without martial arts. How can you know that the young master has no similar means?
"Although Uncle Wen specializes in the art of charming skills and is not good at fighting and killing, she has been practicing for many years, and her skills alone are not much inferior to you. If she is really controlled by that young master, you will probably not be able to get any benefits if you take action rashly.
"You must know that many talented people emerge in the martial arts world. Especially since twenty years ago, the situation has become more and more complicated. There are mysterious masters at any time, such as the leader of the Moon, the four strange heroes, Guan Qi, Ye Gucheng, etc., who have emerged in vain.
"Now, the world is no longer the simple situation when my Holy Sect confronted Buddhism. Even as a teacher, I dare not say that I know the martial arts world well. You are a first to go out of the world and have insufficient experience, so you need to be extra cautious."
The girl in the yellow dress nodded slightly and said well-behavedly:
"My wife knows it! Master, don't worry, the disciple will not act rashly."
After saying that, he left the window, left the private room, and walked down the stairs honestly, and stopped from the boy in brocade clothes and the woman in colorful clothes.
