Playing the role of gods and Buddhas: starting from Avalokitesvara

Chapter 109: One Story, Two Endings

While! While! While!

"Little master, how did you sleep last night?"

Meng Yuan opened the door and saw Qi Treasurer gargling with willow branches, dressed neatly.

"Is Qi Treasurer leaving today?"

"Yes, the foot merchant can't help, he will leave after fasting in the morning, and the next time will be three months later."

The two chatted for a while and then went to the dining hall together, and the monks ate very simply, white porridge, pickles, steamed buns, etc., and they were also talking to each other in a low voice, which was much more normal than the scene Meng Yuan saw last night.

Meng Yuan saw the abbot of Yuanhai, said hello lightly, and also found a place to sit.

Miss Zhou told him that he could not eat meat, nor could he see or smell it, and I was afraid that the end of what he saw and smelled would be the extreme hunger last night, and the consequences of eating it would most likely be to become those monks.

But at this moment, looking at the monks in the monastery, there is nothing unusual, if it is hidden, it is impossible for everyone to hide his insight, this Ahan Temple must hide a huge secret.

Is it the dividing line between day and night? Completely different Ahanji Temple.

As for whether it is or not, you will know if you look at it again tonight, but Meng Yuan still has to prepare some vegetarian food, so he asked the master of the dining hall for a few steamed buns and returned to the room.

The Qi treasurer left with the camel team, and the melodious camel bell floated in the barren land, just like when he came.

As one of the 333 temples of the Wanfa Sect, Ahan Temple is the oldest temple in the Great Yan Kingdom, and the foundation of the temple is naturally not shallow, and the huge building complex and various merit monuments all show the glorious past.

Meng Yuan walked among them, met the disciples in the temple calling each other senior brothers, inquired about the history of various monuments, and got along very harmoniously.

"Senior brother, this is the ancestor of Ahan Temple, right?"

There is a stone statue in the backyard of Ahan Temple, a monk holding a scripture in his hand as a gesture of looking up, and under his feet is an ugly demon, obviously just a stone statue, but it gives people the momentum of looking down on all living beings and dominating the heavens and the earth.

The monk cleaning on the side immediately replied: "Senior brother guessed correctly, this depicts the ancestor of this monastery holding the sutra and descending the devil, and the ancestor has achieved the completion of the sutra and has ascended to bliss." "

Ascend to Elysium?

Meng Yuan frowned, but did he know what the so-called Bliss Buddha Kingdom was like, or that the ancestor was accepted as a disciple by a certain Buddhist power?

"I still don't know the name of the ancestor?"

"Oh, the ancestor's name is Ahannaye, and this temple is made in the name of the ancestor."

Ahannaye... Meng Yuan wrote down the name.

Even if you want to know about the deeds of this ancestor, it's just that the time is too long, it was already more than a thousand years ago, even a Yuan Infant Realm real person will turn into a dry bone under the power of time.

Under the narration of the monk, this ancestor has been completely deified.

It is rumored that he traveled millions of miles from the Western Wilderness Hengsha Sumi Realm, brought Buddhism to the Southern Wilderness, established the Ahan Temple, lectured on scriptures, lowered demons and removed demons, and finally on the day of accomplishment, the sky fell and the ground gushed golden lotuses, and endless golden rays fell from the heavenly dome to receive the ancestors.

As for the specific deeds of this ancestor, I don't know, and the legends heard from the disciples cannot distinguish the truth from the fake, but it is probably certain that the ancestor is foreign.

And Meng Yuan noticed that the Ahan Temple was extremely brilliant more than a thousand years ago, but now it has declined, and there are only a hundred disciples in the temple, in this bitter cold place, what happened in the middle?

Meng Yuan asked the disciple, and he also said that he was not clear, after all, in his opinion, Ahan Temple was famous as one of the three hundred and thirty-three temples of the Ten Thousand Laws Sect, and where was it considered a ruined settlement.

"The poor monk heard my master say this." A figure came from a distance.

"Abbot."

"Well, since Zen Master Miaoxi is interested in the past of this monastery, as compensation, the poor monk will explain it to you." Abbot Enkai said.

Meng Yuan smiled and said, "Abbot Youlao, the poor monk listened to what this senior brother said, and he really became interested in your temple. "

The two said as they walked: "In fact, this Southern Wilderness Dharma all originated from my Ahan Temple, and the ancestor came from the West to receive the Buddha's order, and after more than 300 years to build 100 Buddhist temples, it became a sect of ten thousand laws, and the merits were complete. "

"Ah Han Grandmaster's merit is immeasurable, at that time, there was indeed a messenger to pick up the ancestor to go to the Kingdom of Bliss Buddha to achieve the golden body and positive fruit, but the ancestor could not let go of all sentient beings and did not want to go, so annoyed the messenger, thinking that the ancestor was arrogant, did not respect the Dharma, and wanted to forcibly take away the ancestor."

"At that time, all the monks were terrified, but all the monks of my Ahan Monastery respected the ancestor and helped each other, and the other monasteries also had disciples to lend a hand, and everyone fought against the messenger together, but at the last moment, the ancestor encountered the betrayal of the rest of the people, and the senior monks of my Ahan Monastery almost died, and they declined."

Meng Yuan suddenly sighed: "So it is, it's sad and lamentable." "

"Then Abbot, those who betrayed Ancestor Ahan, are still there now?"

Yuanhai's eyes showed a cold light: "Nature is still there, back then, the ancestor established a hundred temples, and the betrayer four out of ten took away many texts in my temple, and through this development, it has now become a pivotal Buddhist temple in the Ten Thousand Laws Sect." "

"Landa Temple?"

Yuanhai nodded slightly: "It's one of them." "

At the beginning, Ahan Temple was a veritable leader of the Southern Wilderness Buddha Gate, the ancestor's cultivation was unfathomable, and the disciples under the disciples Yuan Ying and Jindan were dozens and hundreds, but Landa Temple and others were backstabbed at that critical time, and they would take revenge, and now it has become a famous Buddhist holy place in the Ten Thousand Laws Sect.

The two talked a lot and learned a lot about the past history of Ahan Temple, which was directly kicked out of the Wanfa Sect in the past period, and only later restored.

And because Ahan Temple is located in this desolate and cold place, it is almost difficult to have believers, and most people do not know that there is an ancient Buddhist temple in this place.

"So Ancestor Ahan was taken away back then?"

Yuanhai nodded: "However, the ancestor's ascension to bliss is what it should be, but I and other junior disciples are incompetent, which damages the face of the ancestor, and cannot liquidate those evil obstacles and spread the Dharma, so I can only survive here." "

"Good! All the senior monks can make Ahan Temple still exist in the world, leaving traces of Ancestor Ahan is already a great achievement, evil does not suppress righteousness, and one day, all living beings will remember the merits of Ancestor Ahan. Meng Yuan said.

Unconsciously, the two actually talked all afternoon.

Boom! Boom! Boom! When the drums sounded, Yuanhai came back to his senses and said: "The most ruthless thing in this heaven and earth is the time and shade, and I unknowingly reach the evening dusk, just when it is time to release goodness, the wonderful evil Zen master pleases." "

Meng Yuan was a little alert, and Fang Cai's feeling of drowsiness made him feel a little tired, and he said sideways: "Abbot forgive me, the little monk listened to the story all afternoon today, and he is not hungry in this belly, and he dare not waste the food of your temple." "

"Eh, Miao Evil Zen Master is polite, if you don't eat, you will be hungry at night."

Will you be hungry? Could it be that the abbot of Yuanhai knew the strangeness of this meat?

Yuanhai pulled Meng Yuan to the dining hall, and the rich smell of meat was already on his nose.

This surprised him slightly, and sure enough, day and night will be different from Ahanji.

At the dinner table, Abbot Yuanhai and Meng Yuan sat opposite each other, and in front of them were bowls full of meat, which were full of color and aroma, very tempting.

"Abbot, won't the monks in the monastery get tired of eating this meat every day?"

Yuanhaizheng took a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, chewed two mouthfuls and swallowed it, and said with a smile when he heard this: "You are new here, you have never experienced the desolation and cold here, if you don't eat more meat, cultivators such as me will not be able to resist this harsh environment for a long time." "

"So that's the case, then why didn't your temple move out of here?"

Yuanhai was a little stunned: "Oh? Didn't the poor monk speak to the Zen master? "

Meng Yuan shook his head.

"Strange, I remember talking to the Zen master about the ancestor in the afternoon, when the evil thing fell from the sky and was suppressed by the ancestor and the senior monks in the temple, it was under this Ahan Temple, so that my Ahan Temple almost collapsed, so I couldn't leave."

Meng Yuan felt a strange feeling in his heart at this moment, Yuanhai didn't seem to remember that he had never told him about this at all, and wasn't Ahan Temple decayed because of the backstab of Landa Temple and other backstabs, and Ahan Ancestor was taken away?

Why does the current abbot of Yuanhai say that he fell because of suppressing evil demons?

This gave Meng Yuan the feeling that there were two Ahan Temples.

"Miao Evil Zen Master, eat quickly, if it is cold, it will not taste good." Enkai reminded.

Meng Yuan pretended to move his chopsticks, but asked: "Abbot, the disciple is very fond of Ancestor A Han and the history of the temple, and is ready to compile it into a book after returning to the South China Sea, but some of the details are a little unclear, I wonder if you can tell me more?" "

When Yuanhai heard this, he readily agreed: "It is good to say that this is a matter of immeasurable merit, and how can a poor monk have a reason to refuse." "

"The ancestor came from the West by the Buddha's will, and after more than three hundred years to build a hundred Buddhist temples, become the sect of ten thousand laws, and the merit is complete, at that time, an envoy came to say that he would bring the ancestor into the world of bliss and become a golden body..."

This is exactly the same as what Yuanhai said in the afternoon, but what he said immediately afterwards is very different.

"At that time, the grandmaster was very happy and invited the disciples of the Buddhist temples to come to observe the ceremony, and according to records, on that day, all the monks were looking forward to it, and a huge world appeared in the sky, and all kinds of wonders were in it, which was intoxicating."

"Ancestor Yin accepted the invitation of the messenger and was ready to ascend to bliss, but I didn't want to see through the trick of the messenger at the last moment, it turned out to be a peerless demon!"

"That so-called Elysium is just a false illusion, and when the messenger saw the flaw, he immediately opened the killing ring, its strength is terrifying, it is a god realm demon, countless disciples died in its hands, and my Southern Wilderness Buddha Gate is almost extinct."

"In the end, it was the ancestor who sacrificed himself to suppress the messenger under this Ahan Temple, so I have always shouldered the duty of guarding the town and cannot leave."

Meng Yuan's heart was already extremely weird when he heard this, and there were two different endings before and after, one was that Grandmaster Ahan was taken away by the messenger due to the backstabbing of Landa Temple and others.

One is that the messenger was actually a peerless demon, who was suppressed by Ancestor Ahan and his disciples under this Ahan Temple for generations.

Which is true and which is false? Why is it that the words spoken during the day and at night are completely different?

Two more chapters will be released in the afternoon.
