LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 108 The Pure Land of Buddhism
Clang clang clang.
The distant and solemn bells ring in the mountains, as if a hand full of divine power can calm the turmoil in people's hearts.
The devout believers climbed up the steps with peaceful smiles on their faces.
Looking up at the three characters "Xiangguo Temple" drawn by Xuanzong himself on the door plaque, Li Nuo straightened his spine, walked slowly through the crowd, and crossed the threshold with one foot.
Tomorrow, the group of trouble-provoking lamas from the Tantric Sect will hold a water and land Dharma meeting with the monks from Xiangguo Temple to compare whose Dharma is more profound.
Such a grand Buddhist event naturally attracts a large number of believers.
Of course, this matter had nothing to do with Li Nuo. He went up the mountain this time just to get a feel for the great monk who offered medicine.
Although he only had a quick glance at Prince Qin's Mansion that day, Li Nuo still remembered the great monk's figure and appearance at a glance.
Entering the gate, a vast and majestic momentum greets you.
As the national temple of the Great Yin Dynasty, Xiangguo Temple would definitely not be petty.
There are many buildings in Xiangguo Temple. In addition to the four main halls, the Main Hall, the Tianwang Hall, the Liuli Hall and the Luohan Hall, there are also Bell and Drum Towers, Sutra Pavilion, Zhai Fang, Zen Room, Sutra Hall and numerous side halls.
Each hall is extremely spacious and can accommodate thousands of people sitting together to discuss Buddhism.
On the outer wall of the main hall, the relief patterns are beautiful. There are figures such as Bodhisattva, Feitian, and my monk, as well as flowers such as Baoxianghua and sea pomegranate, as well as auspicious animals such as lions, cloud dragons, and water unicorns.
Every relief contains Buddhist mottos. Those with wisdom will have a chance to gain enlightenment after reading them.
Li Nuo curled his lips. He really didn't have much favorable impression of Buddhism.
Among the devout pilgrims, he seemed out of place.
He quickly passed through the main hall and headed towards the back mountain.
There is a dining hall and pilgrim dormitories in the back mountain, so Li Nuo's move was considered normal and did not attract the attention of others.
Just when he was walking through a purple bamboo forest, he, who had a sharp ear and eyesight, vaguely heard a series of "strange" sounds coming from the depths of the forest, sometimes rapid, sometimes long...
A strange look appeared on Li Nuo's face.
This sound...
Ahem, anyone who has performed the rites of Zhou Gong should be familiar with it.
Whenever I am affectionate with my wife at night, I will make a similar sound...
But now this is the pure land of Buddhism!
It’s so strange to hear this kind of sound!
Who is so brave as to have an affair in Xiangguo Temple?
In broad daylight, field battles are fought here. Is this to seek unilateral stimulation?
Awesome!
A role model for our generation!
Everyone said that he was brave, but he never thought that there was a mountain as high as the mountain!
Of course, Li Nuo has no voyeuristic bent.
It's just that as a [Fourth Grade Grand Master], I suffer from having too strong perception.
Fortunately, the annoying sound ended soon. Maybe the pair of wild mandarin ducks were also afraid of being discovered, or maybe when Li Nuo came, they had already entered the finishing stage.
Just as Li Nuo was about to speed away, he saw a woman walking out of the forest.
While walking quickly, I tidied up my somewhat messy clothes.
Her complexion was very rosy and her appearance was very charming.
It was obviously moisturized, and the charm in the corners of her eyes was difficult to dissolve in a short time.
However, the woman did not expect that someone would come here at this time. When she saw Li Nuo, a flash of panic flashed in her eyes. However, she had also seen the world, so she quickly calmed down and quickly looked away from Li Nuo. , lowered his head slightly, and quickened the pace of leaving.
Li Nuo was deeply moved.
Judging from the makeup and dress of this woman, it is obvious that she comes from a wealthy family. Maybe I felt lonely at home, so I went out to have fun.
Suddenly, Li Nuo also became curious, what kind of person would this male protagonist be? He was able to seduce a noble lady.
Then, a scene appeared that almost shocked Li Nuo's eyes.
In the bamboo forest, a man gradually emerged.
Although Li Nuo couldn't see the man's specific appearance, the golden monk's robes and the smooth head were clearly visible.
Damn it!
Buddhist pure land?
Hiding dirt?
Xiangguo Temple is still awesome.
However, in order not to get embarrassed, Li Nuo quickly walked through the forest.
Ahem...
Business matters.
Food, sex, etc., let these little things drift away with the wind.
It would be better to do less than to do more. Of course he would not report it.
It's not necessary.
It’s not like I’ve never seen a monk steal someone before.
History books have written a lot about those famous flower monks.
The Bianji monk of the Tang Dynasty was, yes, the disciple of Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty. Drinking and eating meat was his basic operation. What made him leave a mark in the history books was that he hooked up with Li Shimin's beloved daughter, Princess Gaoyang. Of course, in the end, the Dongchuang incident occurred and Li Shimin was directly executed in half.
There is another one that is even more awesome. How awesome was the monk Zhiyuan during the Northern and Southern Dynasties? He had an affair with Xu Zhaopei, the concubine of Emperor Yuan of Liang.
Who is Xu Zhaopei? She is the heroine in the allusion of "Mistresses still have their charm".
Although Li Nuo looked down on the monks, he would not go out of his way to ruin their good deeds.
After a while, Li Nuo arrived at the back mountain. However, in front of the back mountain gate, he was blocked by a little novice monk: "Amitabha, donor, please stay. Behind is a place for spiritual cultivation, and no outsiders are welcome."
Li Nuo said bluntly: "Little monk, I, Li Zian, have something to discuss with your abbot."
"Amitabha, my abbot has been ill recently and will not see guests for the time being. Please forgive me, Donor Li."
The young novice refused.
Li Nuo was a little embarrassed, but he didn't expect that his reputation would be difficult to use.
No wonder.
This is Buddhism, so what does he mean as a "former number one scholar"?
Li Nuo then took out a badge from the Ministry of Punishment and said, "I am from the Ministry of Punishment. I am here on business and I would like to ask the abbot to meet me."
In fact, this kind of waist card only fools ordinary people. Li Nuo's bet was that the young novice monk had never seen this thing.
The young novice was hesitating when he saw two more monks coming. He immediately trotted up and said respectfully: "I have met the two senior brothers Huikong and Huijing. Are you the ones who will compete in the competition with Tantric Sect tomorrow?"
"Well, it's been decided. Huijing, Wu and Wen and I will lead eight junior brothers to represent our Xiangguo Temple and go to meet with the younger generation of Tantric Buddhism tomorrow."
Huikong said proudly.
As the most outstanding disciple among the younger generation of Xiangguo Temple, he naturally has the courage and momentum.
He opened his Buddhist roots at the age of six, recited the Heart Sutra, Diamond Sutra, and Infinite Life Sutra at the age of seven, and traveled around the world at the age of eight. Now he is twenty-two years old, practicing both civil and martial arts, a martial monk [Vajra of the fifth grade] and a literary monk [Sixth grade of precepts].
Even in the entire Lingshan Buddhist Sect, he is still ranked among the top fifty outstanding disciples.
His junior brother Huijing was slightly worse than him. Twenty-three years old, [Sixth Grade Discipline].
At the critical moment when the abbot was in seclusion, the Tantra came to find trouble. After discussion in the Council of Elders, it was decided to send ten Buddhist disciples headed by him to fight.
