Acting as a god and Buddha: starting from Guanzi

Chapter 163: The True Buddha’s Dharma Assembly, the Precepts and the Dharma to Release Mara

"Dong dong."

The sound of drums sounded from all directions of Landa Temple, and many monks entered the temple one after another.

The entire Dharma assembly has three floors inside and three outside, divided into inner and outer altars. Yellow flags, talismans, Buddhist scriptures and statues are placed everywhere.

Miao Le and a group of monks who were either highly respected or the head of the temple entered the inner altar and randomly found a remote corner to sit down. Most of the young disciples such as Wei Tian could only stay in the outer altar.

Looking around, I saw that the whole place was full of shiny heads, which made the whole venue a lot brighter.

At this moment, several powerful auras fell from the sky and landed on the altar in the middle. They were all old monks with eyebrows that could cover their eyes, but the auras were really terrifying.

In the middle is a skinny old monk with a huge black mole between his eyebrows. His eyebrows have completely covered his eyes. He has no aura on his body, just like an old man who is dying.

But from the fact that even the leader, Jie Ai, could only stand aside, we knew how high the old monk's status was.

And he was the previous leader of Wanfa Sect, the old abbot of Baita Temple, and Zen Master Jiewu.

"Abbot Jie Hui, now you are the leader of our Wanfa Sect, and the position of the sutra leader should be given to you." Xie Wu said.

"Here, this poor monk is a junior, but let the elders take the seat."

After some refusal, Xie Wu had no choice but to remain the sutra master. He looked at the monks below and twisted his beard and said: "Old monk, I remember that the last time our Wanfa Sect had such a grand gathering was more than 200 years ago. It really is the passage of time. I am deeply grateful for the blessings of our Buddha. Today, my disciples and I gather together again to hold a large ceremony to ask the Buddha to bless our great people. The water and land ceremony has officially begun!"

"Pure and sprinkle the Holy Land——"

Suddenly, a moist wind blew through the inner and outer fields, taking away all the dust and dirt. All the monks felt that their bodies seemed much cleaner.

"Respectfully invite all Buddhas and saints to come——"

Each disciple held the talisman and prayed in all directions, kneeling three times and nine times before standing up.

"Humph!"

But when we got to this point, there were a lot of cold snorts coming from everyone present.

Within the Wanfa Sect, there has always been a unique sect that only believes in one Buddha, and there is an endless sect that believes in endless Buddhas. Landa Temple is the latter, so the water and land Dharma assembly held by him naturally invites all Buddhas.

hum!
Suddenly, a transparent barrier rose from the intersection of the inner and outer altars, but none of the monks in the inner altar panicked. This was to prevent outsiders from disturbing the purity of the Buddhas in the inner altar. No one cared whether they were invited or not.

The eyelids under the eyebrows of Master Jiewu, the person who presided over the sutra, twitched slightly and sighed slightly: "I invite all the Buddhas to come to the hall and receive the offerings."

In fact, the Water and Land Conference is to invite these gods and Buddhas to have a meal. After the meal, they will bless all living beings, so it has immeasurable merit.

Immediately, a disciple opened the temple behind him, where a fasting banquet had already been arranged.

Miao Le saw that the room was full of delicacies, rare delicacies in the world, but were there really gods and Buddhas enjoying them?
After smelling the aroma coming from the temple, many monks immediately wiped the corners of their mouths in dissatisfaction, with longing in their eyes. Unexpectedly, Landa Temple was willing to spend a lot of money to get so many delicacies from the mountains and seas this time. They must be there after the ceremony. Eat a big meal.

Generally, the final tributes and other items from such Dharma gatherings will end up in the stomachs of one's own people. Because no Buddha has ever come, many monks just regard it as a situation.

Suddenly, a bright auspicious light appeared out of thin air. This turn of events shocked everyone, and then a terrifying divine power emitted from the golden light. The monks seemed to see a golden Buddha statue revealed, and then the golden light flew away without stopping. Entering the temple, he slammed the door.

"The Buddha appears! It's the Buddha who appears!"

The monks suddenly became very excited and said, the golden light was so bright just now, and the supreme power clearly appeared in it, and they also had a glimpse of the Buddha's Dharma. This must be the appearance of the Buddha to the Dharma Assembly.

I saw Jie Ai and Jie Wu, as well as the two old monks from Kujing Temple and Weishen Temple, all saluting in front of the temple. These four ancient temples have been the leaders of Wanfa Sect for thousands of years, and their influence is extraordinary. Many of the monks saw them They all knelt down together, and only a few people had doubts about the golden light.

"Today at the Dharma Assembly, the Buddha is coming. This is a blessing for my disciples and all sentient beings. He will recite sutras with me and praise the saints of the Dharma."

Suddenly, the sound of sutras was loud and resounded throughout the inner altar.

The three old monks, Jie Ai and Xie Wu, all looked at each other and smiled, nodding silently.

This golden light is naturally not a Buddha, but a golden Buddha statue they worked together to build. As for the divine power, it is because there are four treasures in it, which were obtained by the ancestors of each temple thousands of years ago. They were turned into magic weapons and are also the heritage of the four ancient temples. , although it is not a divine weapon, it is made from fragments of a divine weapon and can be called a quasi-magical weapon!

The Landa Temple, the Hell Temple, the White Pagoda Temple and the Weishen Temple have all grown to this day based on the looting of the Agama Temple a thousand years ago. Although there is great competition among them, because each holds a quasi-divine weapon, They didn't dare to push too hard, even when Landa Temple was extremely weak.

It was through this relationship that Jiehe persuaded the other three temples. He originally wanted to use the influence of the four ancient temples to integrate the Wanfa Sect, but later found that it was too difficult. The concepts of each temple were really different, and the imperial court I'm afraid the other two sects won't allow it either, and they all know this.

In this case, they might as well join forces to create a 'Buddha'. When the time comes, the 'True Buddha' will appear in the world and personally issue decrees to bring all dharma back to the sect. Is it possible that there will still be people who dare to disobey?

If they don't obey, the power of the quasi-divine weapon can easily kill them, not to mention these are four of them!
That huge divine power was enough to scare the imperial court and the Qingjing and Wenxin sects, so that they did not dare to act rashly. Even if they noticed it later, they had integrated the Wanfa sect and were not afraid of liquidation afterwards. They could also use the "True Buddha" 'The reputation of Arrival expanded greatly.Kill three birds with one stone!
However, such a huge movement in the inner altar did not spread to the outer altar. All the disciples sat quietly in their seats and silently recited scriptures and prayed for blessings.

Above the Landa Temple, rays of escaping light stopped in the clouds and looked down. Most of these people were spies from various forces in the capital. After all, it is difficult for people to feel at ease with such a huge momentum of Wanfa Sect, such as Qingjing and Wenxin. The elders of the sect, the commander of Jingyesi, etc., only a few of them had nothing to do to come to the meeting.

"Zhuge Ke, you haven't mastered the golden elixir yet. I think you should stop hanging around in Jingyesi." A ray of light flew towards him, and a female voice came out of it teasingly.

"How can I compare to you, Commander Jiang? You cultivated the golden elixir at a young age and became the youngest commander of our Jingyesi Division. Master Jiangzhu has a keen eye and admires you."

"Stop flattering me. I'm making an exception to bring you here. You're not allowed to act without permission for a while."

The escape light stopped at Landuo Temple and revealed its figure. Jiang Yun, dressed in black training clothes, stood among the clouds with Zhuge Ke and Zhuge Li.

"Yes, don't worry, we'll just take a look."

Zhuge Ke glared fiercely at his little nephew beside him. If this guy hadn't come to participate in some water and land ceremony, how would he come to beg this woman and be humiliated.

Zhuge Li smiled harmlessly, and then looked down, but with his ordinary eyesight, he could only see people like ants, and couldn't see clearly.

Then he begged: "Sister Jiang, can we go down a little bit?"

"Okay."

Zhuge Ke rolled his eyes. He asked this woman to take him here. He was so embarrassed and humiliated by her family background, appearance, cultivation and clothing before he agreed. His nephew agreed casually. Yes, it was indeed right not to marry this woman in the first place.

Then the three of them landed directly in a main hall of Landa Temple. The monks in the temple did not come to drive them away, as long as they did not break into the hall.

At the same time, a figure came to the abbot's room silently.

"Good disciple, my master will come to rescue you soon."

And this person is Jiefa. Ever since he heard Kongluo's voice that day in the Demon Suppressing Cave in the back mountain, he has been thinking about rescuing him all the time. Now, while the Dharma Conference is being held, Jieha opens the altar. Barrier, just in time to steal the abbot's seal.

As a senior brother for many years, he was very familiar with the layout of Jie Ai's room, and he easily avoided several traps that could kill Jin Dan Perfection.

Then he opened a cabinet door with hand seals, and there was a golden seal in it. Jiefa then took out a decree that had been written long ago, stamped it with the seal, and then slowly returned to everything.

Jiefa carefully avoided the monks in the temple and came to the back mountain. He did not dare to fly with the escape light, so he had to climb slowly against the wind. It took a quarter of an hour before he arrived at the Demon-Suppressing Cave.

The four guarding disciples were a little confused as to why this uncle was here again?
Then he stepped forward and asked, "I don't know why Uncle Master Jie is here?"

"This is the abbot's decree. The Demon Suppressing Cave will be opened, and the poor monk will bring out one person." Jiefa handed the sealed decree to the four people for inspection.

The seal was specially made and could not be imitated. After checking it, the four people nodded, and then each fell on an altar and used secret methods to open the seal of the Demon Suppressing Cave.

This is also why the precepts are so laborious. Only the abbot and the four guarding disciples know how to open the Demon Suppressing Cave. Without them, it cannot be opened.

The four guarding disciples slowly opened a hole in the seal on the Demon Suppressing Cave in accordance with the decree, and hurriedly urged: "Uncle, hurry up, I can't hold on for long!"

Jie Fa jumped up to the seal, looked at the dark entrance of the cave, and shouted: "Disciple? Disciple! Master is here to save you, come out quickly!"

Call ~
In an instant, a dark demonic energy suddenly surged out, and Kong Luo's voice came from inside: "Thank you, Master!"

Then a bone claw was pulled out and grabbed Jiefa's head. Immediately, Jiefa's flesh and blood began to turn into blood and drift away, slowly revealing a pair of white bones.

"No! The demon in the devil's cave has escaped. Seal it!" The four guarding disciples were shocked and were about to close the seal.

But, it's too late!

Then he saw several bone claws protruding from the demonic mist, which instantly turned the flesh and blood of the four people into nothingness. Without the Nascent Soul in the Golden Core Realm, they would be dead.

Then the creature in the magic mist finally revealed its body. It was a white skeleton dressed in monk's robes, with a skull rosary around its neck, and thousands of skeletal hands waving wantonly behind its back.

It was still holding the Nascent Soul of the Precepts in its hand. It looked around and thought for a moment: "I am the White Bone Bodhisattva Mara, why don't I have a lotus platform?"

Immediately, he stretched out his hand and the skeletons of Jiefa and the four disciples were condensed into a white bone lotus platform, sitting on it.
