Chapter 360 The Land and Water Ceremony Begins

The host, Ci'en, did not expect that this Water and Land Ceremony, which was originally intended to target Ye Kong, would cause such a big repercussion.

It was calculated by people with a heart.

And the host Ci'en knew from Taoist Wu Jun that Ye Kong is a demon hunter.

He is highly accomplished in metaphysics and techniques.

Therefore, Ye Kong will inevitably need Ye Kong's help at that time.

Ye Kong naturally couldn't refuse the request of the kind host.

Let's not talk about whether this water and land ceremony was started because of me.

The presiding officer of Ci'en kindly saved his mother's life.

This is not something Ye Kong can refuse.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, it was still daylight.

Lanruo Temple began to be lively.

Because the monks of Lanruo Temple get up early to do morning classes as always.

The so-called morning classes are chanting Buddhist scriptures.

The ethereal Sanskrit sounds that seemed to have some magical power began to linger over Lanruo Temple.

Some devout believers in Buddhism sat cross-legged on the ground and hummed softly.

Even if they are not Buddhist believers, the monks from the mysterious world are also stopping outside the bamboo forest to listen.

There was no sound in the huge bamboo forest.

Even Ye Kong and the others stood quietly in the courtyard of the East Wing and listened quietly.

It was nearly ten o'clock.

The Land and Water Ceremony is finally about to start.

The venue of the Water and Land Ceremony is in the front yard of Lanruo Temple.

On the hillside of the bamboo forest where Lanruo Temple was built.

As long as you stand on the bamboo forest, you can overlook the whole Lanruo Temple from a high position.

Therefore, only a few people can enter the front yard of Lanruo Temple.

Most of the people are just outside the bamboo forest, overlooking it condescendingly.

The first item of the Water and Land Ceremony is - offering to saints.

The so-called Gongshengfan refers to the four holy realms and the six ordinary realms in the ten dharma realms.

In the Buddhist scriptures, the heaven and the earth are divided into ten realms.

The four holy realms refer to the Buddha, Bodhisattva, Yuanjue, and Shravaka.

The six worlds refer to heaven, humans, asuras, hungry ghosts, animals, and hell.

Each world is ruled by a great power.

To offer holy food is to offer all kinds of fasting meals and fruit offerings.

All the monks of the temple prayed together and asked the great powers of the ten circles to be their witnesses.

This is just a ritual of the Water and Land Puja.

This kind of ceremony is somewhat similar to the meaning of offering sacrifices to the ancestors in some Taoist schools.

And after making offerings to saints, the whole Lanruo Temple suddenly became somewhat sacred.

"Little San'er, why do I feel a little weird?"

Mother Ye, who was beside Ye Kong, looked at the presiding officer of Ci'en and the others offering sacrifices to Shengfan.

Said to Ye Kong softly.

"Oh? Mom, what do you feel?"

Ye Kong asked curiously.

"I don't know, maybe it's my illusion! I feel that after these monks paid their respects, there was an...an indescribably holy atmosphere."

Mother Ye hesitated, trying to express her feelings with appropriate words.

And after hearing Ye Mu's words.

Ye Kong suddenly became surprised.

In fact, Mother Ye was right.

After offering to saints, Lanruo Temple is no longer what it used to be.

And became the realm of law.

It is a bit similar to the dojo that Taoists often say.

Within the Dharma Realm, there will be blessings from the gods and Buddhas of the ten directions.

This is also the reason why no one makes trouble in the real water and land ceremony.

It is a blasphemy to the gods and Buddhas to make a big disturbance in the Dharma world, and it will be cursed by the gods and Buddhas.

Cursing is something that can't be explained clearly.

But just like God's punishment, no one would dare to defy the law easily.

Because after being cursed by the gods and Buddhas, it is very likely that they will die of unforeseen misfortunes.

Or the cultivation base can no longer advance.

However, Lanruo Temple has become a Dharma Realm, this kind of aura change.

Ordinary people can't feel it.

Even at Ye Kong's level of cultivation, it feels a little vague.

Ye Mu can sense changes in the aura.

This was really beyond Ye Kong's expectation.

After offering to the saints, there is the second item of the water and land puja, offering food.

The so-called giving food is giving alms food.

The fasting meal in Lanruo Temple is actually porridge.

But don't underestimate this little bowl of porridge.

It looks ordinary.

But it has been taught by monks in the whole temple.

Theoretically, sentient beings in the evil realm can escape from the evil realm and ascend to heaven if they eat this kind of fast.

Of course in reality this is impossible.

However, after eating such a fasting meal, it can also cleanse a person's soul.

Let the soul be sublimated.

To sum up, there are only advantages and no disadvantages in eating these special vegetarian meals.

Everyone can eat this fast.

The lonely and hungry ghosts in the ten directions can also eat it.

Ye Kong and others are no exception.

Just treat it as breakfast.

After two simple opening ceremonies, the real water and land puja began.

Nine high altars were erected in front of the main hall of Lanruo Temple.

There is a futon on the high altar.

After seeing the nine high altars erected.

Many people at the scene began to get excited.

"I invite Ci'en to preside over and all the teachers and uncles."

Suddenly, a little novice shouted loudly.

Immediately afterwards, under the leadership of the presiding officer of Ci'en.

A total of eight eminent monks walked out of the main hall.

Including the presiding officer of Ci'en, the eight eminent monks were seated on the eight high altars.

And there is another high altar that is empty?
"Why are there only eight eminent monks?"

"There are only eight eminent monks in the nine high altars. Who will sit in the empty high altar?"

"Could it be that there are still eminent monks yet to arrive?"

Even Ye Kong and the others looked at it suspiciously at this time.

Is there anyone late for this kind of Buddhist event?
"Master Wu Jun, the remaining high altar is not for you, is it?"

Liu Fang jokingly said to Taoist Wu Jun.

Everyone in the world knows that Taoist Master Wu Jun and Master Ci'en have the best personal relationship.

Plus Taoist Wu Jun's prestige in the mysterious world.

It is not impossible for this high altar to leave him.

"Taoism and Buddhism are divided into two families. How can my Taoist school participate in such a grand event?"

Daoist Wu Jun gave Ye Kong a meaningful look.

Then he said to Liu Fang.

"Little friend Ye Kong, please come up!"

However, just when everyone was guessing.

Host Ci En suddenly waved to Ye Kong and said kindly.

"I?"

Ye Kong was taken aback.

This... What's the matter with me?
Isn't this the Water and Land Dharma Association of Buddhism?
What are you going to do by yourself?
And yesterday when Ye Kong was talking with Ci En the host.

Host Ci'en didn't mention this one!

In fact, it's not just Ye Kong at this time.

Everyone became even more puzzled.

The purpose of the Water and Land Ceremony is to teach the Dharma to all sentient beings.

Ye Kong is neither a monk nor a disciple of Buddhist laymen.

Is it appropriate for Ye Kong to go up?

"The auspicious time has come, Lord Ye Kong, please."

Seeing Ye Kong was still hesitating.

Host Ci En said again.

Seeing the host of Ci En is not a joke.

Although Ye Kong was slightly unwilling in his heart.

But I can only bite the bullet.

"What is Xiaosan going up there for? Could it be that Xiaosan has already become a monk?"

Seeing Ye Kong really walked up.

Ye Xuan said with some amusement.

"Bullshit."

Mother Ye looked at Wu Xi, Ouyang Jingjing and others beside her, and said dissatisfied with Ye Xuan.

Ye Kong's daughter-in-law is by her side!

How could it be possible to become a monk?

There are four such beautiful daughter-in-laws who are still monks.

Ye's mother felt that unless Ye Kong's brain was pumped.

Ye Xuan also stuck out his tongue and stopped talking.

However, Ye Xuan didn't say anything, but someone would say it.

Not long after Ye Kong sat on the last high altar.

An inappropriate voice suddenly came:

"Master Ci'en, how sacred is the Water and Land Ceremony of this Buddhist school. It's probably inappropriate for you to let an outsider sit firmly on the altar, and it's hard to convince the crowd!"

As soon as the voice came out, it immediately became the only focus of the scene.

"It's Elder Mo Yi."

"Elder Mo Yi is already at the pinnacle of cultivation, and he is in charge of the judicial power of Zhengyi Sect."

"No wonder, Ye Kong and Zhengyi have a grudge against each other, no wonder he objected."

"But what Elder Mo Yi said is true. Do you want us to listen to Ye Kong talk about the scriptures?"

"Isn't Ye Kong an elder of the Maoshan sect? As a Taoist, why should he go up there?"

"..."
