Who is not a monk

In the picture, apart from the old emperor wearing a gold silk dragon robe on a black background, he also saw Yingjie Bodhisattva.

Yingjie Bodhisattva also has the name of the living Buddha. He was the supreme leader of Buddhism decades ago.

Three years ago, His Majesty also came to Xinzheng Temple for the first stick of incense, worshiping the Buddha, and praying for the prosperity of the country. At that time, this Bodhisattva did not come forward to receive him, but was received by the current abbot of Xinzheng Temple, the abbot.

As a result, this year's grand occasion has attracted a lot of attention from foreign media, with frenzied reports and various conjectures popping up.

Some say that the Bodhisattva of Yingjie is coming soon.

Some say the emperor is coming soon.

Some say both are coming soon.

These are the three mainstream guesses.

There are various other speculations about why Buddhism is weak and wants to revitalize, what Yiguo and Buddhism are deepening cooperation, what religious culture is invading, and some people even say that the royal family wants to use the power of Buddhism to restore the dictatorship of the monarchy and regain power. .

very messy.

But this is really unusual.

Chen Shu is more inclined to the first three conjectures.

Because in terms of time, His Majesty the Emperor is indeed fast.

And how many years has this Bodhisattva lived?

There is no accurate record, but as far as Chen Shu feels, it has been at least 400 years, and if it is more, it may be nearly 500 years.

It is indeed long enough.

At the same time, it has been almost 20 years since Yingjie Bodhisattva was honored as the living Buddha. Chen Shu vaguely remembered that it was a year after his birth that the Buddhist sect announced the news to the outside world.

It also shocked the whole world.

The title "living Buddha" is very rare, not every leader of Buddhism, or a certain level of cultivation can be honored as "living Buddha".

This title can only come out once in hundreds of thousands of years.

Usually, Buddhists refer to the seventh level as the Dharma Guardian God, the eighth level as the Arhat, and the ninth level as the living Bodhisattva.In ancient times, high-level practitioners were indeed as powerful as gods, even more powerful than the gods in mythology in many regions.

If a ninth rank is placed on the earth, he can defeat all the armies on the earth.

Above the ninth level is the Buddha.

Without Sakyamuni, there is no Lord Buddha.

There is only one imaginary Amitabha Buddha, and new Buddhas are born all the time.

Every person who has been honored as "living Buddha" in history has finally turned into a golden body and stood at the center of the worship position of all temples in the world.Until being pushed aside by the next Bodhisattva who was promoted to Buddha, he still received the incense for all ages.

It is claimed to the outside world that their merits and virtues are complete and surpass those of their predecessors, so they are honored as living Buddhas. After sitting down, they will transform into real Buddhas and continue to lead everyone to purify their hearts and be good, and to cross the world and save themselves.

From Chen Shu's point of view, this guy is about to become a god.

In the small video screen, the elderly emperor faced the Buddha statue, held a red incense stick, and bowed sincerely, while Yingjie Bodhisattva stood aside and watched quietly, neither sad nor happy.

Immediately screen everything.

The emperor walked side by side with the eminent monks, stepped on the 3000-year-old bluestone slabs, and walked through the courtyard, not knowing where he was going.

Both are wearing traditional clothes.

But there are a few soldiers who are covered in metal power armor standing beside them. Tradition and technology, ancient and future, the temple that stands for a thousand years and the 3000-year-old bodhi tree in the middle, the picture is very shocking.

All small videos only have these two screens.

Chen Shu looked at it, and suddenly felt that Xinzheng Temple seemed to be pretty good. He had only been to Yu'an Temple in Yujing before, but he hadn't visited Xinzheng Temple yet.

Inexplicably want to see it.

It just so happens that school starts the day after tomorrow.

So he hurriedly opened Fetion——

Chen Shu: Qing Qing Qing Qing

Chen Shu: Are you asleep?

Qingqing: say

Chen Shu: Let's take Xiaoxiao to visit Xinzheng Temple tomorrow

Qingqing: good

Chen Shu: I'll pick you up

Qingqing: I came to find you

Chen Shu: OK

Qingqing: I want dumplings in sour soup

Chen Shu: I said...

Chen Shu: okay

Immediately turn off Fetion, and first use the navigation to guide the route to Xinzheng Temple.

The public transportation is quite convenient. Take the subway not far away, and then there is a tourist line to Xinzheng Temple. It takes about an hour and a half one way.The navigation also recommends the five yuan per person vegetarian meal at Xinzheng Temple, which is delicious. At the same time, the antique market at the foot of the mountain in Xinzheng Temple is also the largest antique market in Yujing. You can go to Changchang Eye to see it.

It's a pity that if there are peaches, the subway will not be able to go on.

It's not far by taxi, more than 30 kilometers.

Then take a look at the photos taken by other photographers, red walls and black tiles, deep temples, ancient bells and tripods, green smoke curling up, monks and pilgrims coming and going, the pictures are beautiful and harmonious.

"Not bad."

Chen Shu said repeatedly.

He does not reject Buddhism in this world.

In fact, the Buddhism and Taoism in this world are all the same, and the relationship with the Buddhism and Taoism in the previous life is not too big.

They are just two sects founded by the Holy Ancestor, and the core ideas they follow are also completely derived from the Holy Ancestor, which is quite different from the previous life.

Chen Shu thought about the reason.

It may be that the old fellow didn't know much about Buddhism and Taoism in his previous life, and he created it according to his own impression or imagination of Buddhism and Taoism.

But it is more likely that the fellow did not intend to copy the Buddhism and Taoism of the previous life, but only borrowed their shells and some of the core concepts he wanted, and the remaining core concepts were things he added after the magic modification to ensure Buddhism and Taoism can take root in this other world, and it is what he wants.

In the following 5000 years of wind, frost, snow and rain, the concepts of Buddhism and Taoism have changed, but they still guard the country and nation.

If you are a Yiguo person who is familiar with ancient history, you will probably have a good impression of them.

Chapter 1 One-day tour of Xinzheng Temple

The nineteenth of the first month.

Early morning fog, orange sun rising.

Chen Shu stood by the window and brushed his teeth, looking at the street below while brushing.

The difference between Yujing and Baishi can be seen at a glance. I was enjoying the weather in Baishi yesterday afternoon, but today I returned to the cold Yujing. Most of the pedestrians below were wrapped in thick winter clothes and walked awkwardly. .

An online car-hailing car drove over.

Behind him, Chen Banxia complained in the living room: "I'll keep these dumplings for breakfast, and you'll eat them all in one meal. What should I eat..."

This sentence is very common.

Chen Shu dreamed of the Holy Ancestor last night, and also dreamed of the current emperor of Yiguo and Yingjie Bodhisattva. The feeling in the dream was so illusory that when he woke up, he had a sense of unreality that was divorced from real life, but Chen Banxia One word pulled him back.

"Buzzing~~"

The electric toothbrush kept vibrating.

Chen Shu glanced at Chen Banxia, ​​but ignored her. It is well known that one cannot speak while brushing one's teeth.

Walk back to the bathroom and spit out the bubbles.

I also heard Chen Banxia complaining: "You didn't tell me that you were going to Xinzheng Temple to play. I knew that I would start work tomorrow, and now I have made an agreement with the teacher..."

"Grumbling..."

"threw up!"

While cleaning the cup and the toothbrush head, Chen Shu turned her head and said to her: "Research hard, be serious, and try to get the results as soon as possible. If you really find a substitute material for that potion, you can make it, and the effect is good. , Remember to tell me, I am of great use."

"What's your use?"

"Bring it to soak your feet."

"Pooh!"

"remember!"

"Humph……"

The water in the kitchen was boiling, and there was a knock on the door.

Today's Qingqing is not stuck.

Chen Shu started making dumplings.

While the dumplings are tumbling in the pot, adjust the sour soup base, mix in the dumpling soup, let the lard melt, then scoop the dumplings into a bowl, and a bowl of steaming and appetizing sour soup dumplings is complete.

Ning Qing likes this taste very much.

After breakfast, go out separately.

Chen Banxia went to the laboratory, Chen Shu and Tao Zi took a taxi to the foot of Xinzheng Temple Mountain.

After half an hour.

Three people and one cat came to the foot of the mountain.

"Ha~~"

Chen Shuha let out a sigh of relief, rubbed her hands together, and looked up.

There are long, straight bluestone steps in front of you, which have been soaked into a deep dark green by the years. The steps seem to have no end in the mountain fog, but there are a few pink peach blossoms in the depths of the mountain fog.There is a faint sound of ancient bells coming from above.

"Boom, boom..."

The sound seemed to come from ancient times.

"Let's go!"

Chen Shu led them up the stairs.

Both Xinzheng Temple and Yu'an Temple are of the same virtue. Tickets are not charged, but there is no cableway. If you want to go there, you have to walk through every step sincerely.

There are many peach trees on the mountain, and they just bloomed.

There are also many monkeys.

But the monkeys here are more polite, and they are not macaques. They are very small and have a very quiet personality.Seeing pilgrims coming, some monkeys ran over and squatted on both sides of the stone steps, looking at people eagerly, expecting to be fed by kind people, but they were too embarrassed to ask for it.

Obviously Chen Shu is not a kind person.

Not only did the man not bring any food with him, but he was always pretending to have food in his hands and giving them air.

The little monkey was very sad.

After climbing for two hours, we arrived at the gate of the monastery.

Xinzheng Temple is very large, and the upper half of this mountain is completely covered by palaces.Now this is the front mountain, tourists can only go up the mountain and enter the temple from here, and the range of activities is also very limited.

Can't fly.

Disable psychic powers and spells.

Drones can't fly either.

The Buddhist Ancestral Court's compulsion is still very high.

When they arrived, there were already many tourists visiting here. A young novice monk was sweeping the floor with earphones on his ears.

Don't be surprised, it's routine.

Just keep up with the times.

Maybe people are listening to Buddhist scriptures.
