Chapter 211
"Haha, brother Lu, long time no see, how are you doing?"

A familiar voice came out of Lang's laughter, which made Lu Wuchen and his apprentice feel helpless. They never expected that the person in front of them would greet them like this.

"Brother Song, this way of greeting is not like your style." Lu Wuchen looked at Song Shidao in front of him with a smile, and teased in a playful tone.

"Haha..." Hearing this, Song Shidao laughed loudly, and said, "I haven't seen Brother Lu for a long time, and my hands were itchy for a while, so I couldn't help but make a move!"

"You bastard..." Lu Wuchen scolded with a smile, "Since Brother Song has such a good mood, would you dare to go to a place with us?"

"Oh? Where?" Song Shidao asked curiously.

"Hey, since Brother Song is so curious, come with me."

With a chuckle, Lu Wuchen spread out his body skills, like a breeze. Kou Zhong also laughed, walked away with mysterious steps under his feet, and blinked away.

"Why do I have an ominous premonition?" Song Shidao said, with a wry smile, and followed immediately.

……

On the outskirts of Luoyang, in front of the Jingnian Temple.

"Dang!" The melodious bells sounded from the temple on the top of the mountain.

"Is that the Jingnian Temple?" Kou Zhong asked suspiciously.

The three of Lu Wuchen stood on a small hillside near the Jingnian Temple. From a distance, the temple could be seen as far as the eye could see. It was really magnificent and grand, and one could vaguely hear bursts of overtones chanting sutras.

Looking from the hillside, the temple is hidden deep in the forest, only a few temples can be seen, and occasionally a corner is exposed, which is quite picturesque of "ancient temples hidden in deep mountains".

"Brother Lu, are you here to worship the Buddha?" Song Shidao asked suspiciously.

"Haha..." Lu Wuchen laughed, shook his head, and said, "I don't have that kind of leisure and elegance, this time I'm here to find trouble!"

Hearing this, Song Shidao couldn't help turning pale, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Lu, I'm on a pirate ship, I wonder if I can get off the pirate ship now?"

"Haha..." Kou Zhonglang laughed loudly, and said: "I have already boarded the pirate ship, but I still want to get off the pirate ship. It's not that easy. Let's go obediently with us!"

"By the way, master, this monk temple is nothing more than that. I wonder how it compares to the most famous White Horse Temple in Luoyang?" Kou Zhong said with a smile. The White Horse Temple was built in the Han Dynasty. Go, get back the Buddhist scriptures, and meet the temple in the eastern suburbs of Luoyang. Because the Buddhist scriptures are carried back by white horses, it is named "White Horse Temple", which is the first ancient temple in China.

"What can we do? No matter how well built it is, it's just a temple for monks. If everyone becomes a monk, women will probably become nuns as well!" Lu Wuchen shrugged and teased.

"Master, you are too damaged!" Kou Zhong laughed.

"Brother Lu is talking nonsense, and he is not afraid of blaspheming the Buddha!" ​​Song Shidao said.

Lu Wuchen sneered, and said: "The words of the Buddhist school are just deceptive words, designed to deceive those who believe in men and women. The Buddhist school of crossing people talks about the four elements being empty. If it is really empty, how can this temple be so magnificent? ?”

Hearing this, Song Shidao was thoughtful, and then followed Lu Wuchen and his disciples towards the Jingnian Temple, and walked in front of the door, only then did they realize that there are hundreds of buildings in the temple, just like a small city, but The people living in it are all bald monks.

"I didn't expect the scale of the temple to be so grand." Kou Zhong sighed. The three of them had heard of the reputation of Jingnian Temple, but they didn't expect it to be so grand. It was really shocking. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties Respecting the Buddha, the prosperity of Buddhism can be seen from this.

The main buildings in the Jingnian Temple are arranged in sequence on the central axis facing the temple gate, with the bronze hall as the center of the temple, with a complete and uniform scale.Except for the copper hall, all buildings are covered with three-color glazed tiles, and the color is as new, especially the peacock blue among the three-color glazed tiles is the most dazzling.There is a blurred brilliance under the sun, and there are thousands of Buddhas and Buddhas in Fangfo, which are extremely bright.

In front of the copper hall, there is a platform square that is as wide as hundreds of feet, built of white stone and surrounded by white stone railings.In the middle of Baishi Square, a bronze statue of Manjusri Bodhisattva is enshrined, riding on the back of a golden lion, it is about two feet high, and there are three Buddhas such as Medicine Master, Sakyamuni and Amitabha beside the niche.The painted gold decorations are quite imposing, but it also makes people feel that they are a bit out of the usual practice of monasteries.

"I don't know how much money was spent on this square, and these old bald men are really rich!" Kou Zhong looked around, with a look of indignation on his face, and said, "Those monks don't know how to get such a If there is so much land, how many people in Luoyang City do not have tiles to cover their heads, and it is not known whether they will go to hell after death!"

"Those monks occupy so many fields, so many monks, those people are lonely and helpless. If it is really compassionate, why don't you donate the fields to help the people?" Song Shidao also sighed with emotion. Buddhism is merciful, but Looking at this situation, the so-called compassion is nothing more than lip service. "During the Five Dynasties, people worshiped the Buddha, and most of the people became monks. The temples spread all over the world, causing chaos in the world. This is why the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Buddha!"

Song Shidao is proficient in scriptures and history, of course he knows about these classics, and there is already a trace of indignation in his heart at this moment. Looking around, he can only see five hundred arhats on the four sides of the Baishi platform, except for the entrance and exit of the four stone steps. Made of copper, everyone has different expressions and postures, but no matter whether they open their eyes and protrude their foreheads, or lower their eyes and look inside, they are all lifelike, no different from a living person.

The other buildings take the main hall on the axis as a whole, distributed in all directions in an orderly manner, separated by forest roads, and have a solemn and sacred atmosphere.A large incense burner was placed in front of the Manjusri altar, and the burning sandalwood was sending out a large amount of fragrance, permeating the entire space. The atmosphere that was supposed to be peaceful and peaceful was extremely dazzling.

The phase is born from the heart, the state of mind is different, and the appearance is also different.

The few monks who were cleaning the square were originally intended to give people a sense of peace and quiet, but now they are doing nothing, which is disgusting.

The three of them walked to the mountain gate. The monk Zhike had stopped the three of them, "Three distinguished guests, please stay. The Buddhist community is quiet. Please stop here and don't disturb the Buddhist practice!" The two monks, the monk Zhike, among them One was about thirty, while the other was just a young man in his twenty, standing behind the elderly Zhike monk.

Being blocked by two people, Lu Wuchen and others ignored them and walked towards the mountain gate. Two zhike monks wanted to stop the three people, but they didn't know that the three people walked forward, which made them secretly surprised.

The two looked at each other, the elder monk quickly stopped the three of them, clasped his hands together, shouted a Buddha's name, and then said: "Guests, please stay, the courtyard is closed for cleaning today, please leave quickly! "

"I haven't heard that people are not allowed to enter the monk's temple. Could it be that this monk's temple is the place where the emperor's old son lives?" Kou Zhong said with a smile on his face, in a very indifferent tone.

"Your honorable guest..." Before the Zhike monk could speak, Lu Wuchen sneered and said, "This monk's temple is probably a little more rigorous than the Imperial Palace. How many monks are raised in such a big temple? I heard that there are four monks in this monk's temple." Great Vajra, train the monks and soldiers, I'm afraid they will rebel!"

The Zhike monk was shocked when he heard the words, and the monk said: "Could it be that the almsgiver is here to make trouble!"

Kou Zhong laughed loudly, the sound was blown by a strong wind, rumbling like thunder, it made the ears of the two monks hurt, their faces turned pale, the two looked at each other, they both saw the fear in each other's eyes, this The three of them were probably from the Jianghu, the older monk gave him a wink, and the young monk left secretly.

Kou Zhong didn't pay any attention, he came here for trouble, let them know it's good, he immediately shouted: "Bulk, now the world is in chaos, the people are in dire straits, these people can't find a place to cover their heads and shelter from the rain, and you But the bald donkey occupies so many places, where is there any mercy? I think you bald slaves are also Buddhist scum, selling dog meat under the guise of a sheep, why are you doing those shameful and hungry activities? Today, sir, I am killing harm for the people! "

His eyes were wide open with anger, and he had an extraordinary aura. The monk listened to his nonsense and was so angry that he was shaking. Just because of his aura, his face was pale, his teeth were trembling, and he could not speak. Kou Zhong saw him frightened, haha With a smile and a slap, he immediately knocked the Zhike monk over. The Zhike monk's mouth was full of blood and his teeth seemed to have fallen out.

With a wave of true energy, the long knife in Kou Zhong's hand screamed, and suddenly a burst of knife energy surged out of it, and a strong wind whizzed around, only a sound of "clang!" was heard, the knife came out of its sheath, Kou Zhong stretched out his hand to grab it, The long knife fell on his hand.

The saber energy surged, Xueliang saber light gushed out, Kou Zhong shouted coldly, and slashed towards the door.
