Chapter 0621 Master Jiang Liu
"Isn't this the legendary unicorn blood! It's more precious than the blood of a real dragon. After taking it, it can not only improve your physique, but also increase your lifespan." Lu Huaming exclaimed in surprise.
Shen Luo looked at the unicorn blood in the bottle, quickly capped the bottle and put it away.
He looked towards the palace, a strange color flashed in his eyes.
These three treasures are very suitable for him, especially Zhenhai Pearl and Qilin Blood, which are tailor-made for him.
What surprised Shen Luo the most was the unicorn blood. Except for Ma Xiuxiu and Dan Yangzi, he had never mentioned anything about his search for life extension to anyone else.But Dan Yangzi was dead now, and Ma Xiuxiu had disappeared without a trace. Under such circumstances, the court could still find out about this matter. Such intelligence gathering capabilities really made him secretly startled.
"Under the whole world, could it be the king's land? If the imperial court wants to investigate something, it will definitely find out. The Tang government is only the imperial court's power to cultivate immortals on the surface, and secretly has other immortal forces in its hands to monitor the world. Brother Shen, don't be surprised by the information." Lu Huaming seemed to guess what Shen Luo was thinking, and said.
Shen Luo's heart trembled when he heard the words, and he quickly recovered and nodded.
Then, without any further delay, the two immediately headed out of the city.
The destroyed buildings in the city have been repaired a lot, and the sad scene of every household burning paper money is gone, but there is still a trace of haze in the air.
"Sure enough, there are ghosts left in the city, and there are quite a few of them." Shen Luo thought to himself.
It's just that these wronged souls are not fierce ghosts, killing them at will will hurt heaven and harmony, but if they are allowed to stay in the mortal world, it will not only affect the living, but will also turn into fierce ghosts, causing even more trouble. The monk opened the altar and tried to send him to the underworld.
This kind of transcendence does not rely on mana, such as Shen Luo. Although his cultivation base has reached the out-of-body stage, he cannot transcend the souls of the dead.
To transform these dead souls requires sufficient virtue. This is another kind of practice that is different from the realm of mana, and it cannot be done by those who are not familiar with Buddhist principles.
Shen Luo didn't know much about this, but he knew a little bit. To save so many dead souls in the city, it required extremely high moral cultivation.
"Brother Lu, who is Master Jiangliu that Yuan Guoshi said just now? Can he really save so many souls in Huacheng?" He asked Lu Huaming.
"Speaking of this Master Jiang Liu, he is indeed very famous. Brother Shen, do you know who learned the scriptures?" Lu Huaming asked.
"Master Xuanzang? Back then, he traveled thousands of miles west to Daleiyin Temple to learn Buddhist scriptures. This was a grand event in the Tang Dynasty, so I've heard about it." Shen Luo nodded.
"Master Xuanzang suddenly disappeared shortly after he returned from learning the scriptures. Some people say that he went to the Western Paradise, others say that he has passed away, and some people say that he has been reincarnated. In short, there are different opinions, and no one knows what happened. .” Lu Huaming continued.
"I've also heard similar rumors, but in my opinion, Master Xuanzang's reincarnation is more likely." Shen Luo said with a frown upon hearing this.
"Well, most people in the world think so. Many people claim to be his reincarnation, but the most convincing one is that Master Jiang Liu. He and Master Xuanzang came from the Jinshan Temple in the Tang Dynasty. Shen Zhan, who has saved countless people, is well-known even in Chang'an City, and many court officials and royal relatives have worked tirelessly to go to Jinshan Temple to worship." Lu Huaming nodded and said.
"Brother Lu said so, I really want to meet this master Jiang Liu soon." Hearing this, Shen Luo became curious about this master Jiang Liu.
According to what Li Jing said in the dream, taking the scriptures from the West was a means by the power of heaven and the west to prevent the catastrophe from coming. Unfortunately, it failed. If we can see the reincarnation of the scripture learners, we may be able to investigate the clues of the five demon souls.
The two hurried on their way while talking, and soon left the city, found a secluded place, Yukong, and headed towards Jinshan Temple.
Jinshan Temple is located in Jiangzhou, quite far from Chang'an City, the two only knew the general direction, and it took half a day to find the location of Jinshan Temple.
In order to prevent mortals from seeing the shocking world, the two landed in the distance and went on foot.
Jinshan Temple is located on Jinxia Mountain in Jiangzhou. It is built close to the mountain. Countless devout believers, old and young, walk towards the temple to worship the gods in their hearts.
"Heh, with so many believers, it seems that this Master Jiang Liu is really unusual." Seeing this scene, Shen Luo was surprised.
"Of course, otherwise the master and the national teacher would not let us invite him." Lu Huaming laughed.
"This Jinshan Temple is just an ordinary Buddhist temple? Do the monks in the temple have cultivation skills?" Shen Luo suddenly remembered something and asked.
"Jinshan Temple is a famous school of cultivating immortals in Jiangzhou. Many monks in the temple studied the Vajra Zen method passed down by the elder Faming. Later, Master Xuanzang passed down the Zen method of Daleiyin Temple in Lingshan, Xitianling Mountain after returning from learning the scriptures. In terms of the subtlety of the exercises, Jinshan Temple is no less inferior to our Tang government, Huasheng Temple, Putuo Mountain and other great sects, why does Brother Shen ask about this?" Lu Huaming said.
"Since Jinshan Temple is also the master of cultivating immortals, and Master Jiang Liu is so famous, he may not be willing to go to Chang'an with us. Do Cheng Guogong and Yuan Guoshi give you tokens?" Shen Luo asked a little worried.
"This task is for us to take on together, you are present all the time, how can the master give me any token." Lu Huaming said strangely.
"From this point of view, we can only adapt accordingly, and hope everything goes well." Shen Luo said after a moment of silence.
"Master Jiang Liu is a virtuous and eminent monk. The city of Chang'an suffered such a catastrophe and the people were in distress. The master will definitely go there. What's more, the water and land conference was held by His Majesty's order. To be able to preside over this conference, it is very important for any person in the Zen sect. It's the supreme honor, how can Master Jiang Liu shirk it, brother Shen, stop worrying about the sky, and go quickly." Lu Huaming said with a smile, and then pulled Shen Luo towards Jinshan Temple.
The scenery of Jinxia Mountain is beautiful. It is autumn now, and the mountain is golden and the scenery is quite beautiful.
The two climbed the mountain while admiring the beautiful scenery of the mountain.
The Jinxia Mountain is towering, except for those mountains he has seen in his dreams, Shen Luo has never seen a higher mountain than this in reality. The Jinshan Temple was built halfway up the Jinxia Mountain, and the two walked for a long time but never arrived.
Fortunately, they are all people with advanced cultivation bases, and they didn't feel tired.
At this moment, a carriage galloped from behind, and the cart was loaded with goods, heading for Jinshan Temple.
The believers on the mountain path gave way one after another, and Shen Luo and Lu Huaming also evaded to the side.
The driver was a middle-aged man, who seemed to be in a hurry, and kept urging the horse to speed up. Although the mountain road was not wide, the carriage drove very fast.
When the carriage passed by the two of Shen Luo, the wheels ran over a large raised rock, and the carriage shook violently.
I don't know if the bumps were too violent, or the carriage was a bit old, but with a click, the axle broke from it, and the carriage of the speeding carriage toppled to the side, hitting an old man in plain clothes who was going up the mountain.
The old man in plain clothes was so frightened that he even forgot to dodge. All the pilgrims nearby exclaimed when they saw this scene.
Shen Luo didn't care about shocking the world, and appeared in front of the carriage in a flash, raised his hand and pushed.
The carriage that was thrown into the air stopped immediately, but the things inside rolled out, like a curtain, and fell to the side of the road.
The people nearby exclaimed again and avoided.
Chapter 0622 Jinshan Temple
"Old man, are you alright?" Shen Luo ignored the others and helped the old man in plain clothes.
"I'm fine, thank you son for saving my life." The old man in plain clothes was still in shock, it took him a while to calm down, and he hurriedly thanked Shen Luo.
The old man's family also rushed over to thank Shen Luo.
"It's a little effort, old man, you don't have to be polite." Shen Luo waved his hand, and then lifted it slightly to stabilize the carriage.
"Thank you for your help, young master. It's all because I drove the car in a hurry and almost got into a big accident." The middle-aged man who drove the car rushed over and apologized to Shen Luo and the old man in plain clothes.
"Are you going to deliver the goods to Jinshan Temple? Why are you in such a hurry?" Shen Luo didn't reprimand him either. Such drivers also have their own suffering.
"Yes, I am about to deliver goods to Jinshan Temple. Jinshan Temple is going to hold the Golden Cicada Dharma Conference today. Master Jiang Liu is teaching the Dharma to cover his whole body with a precious curtain, but the curtain in the temple was bitten by rats a few days ago I ordered one, and it had to be delivered before the puja, so the villain was in a hurry. But now the axle is broken, and there is still a long way to go to Jinshan Temple, what should I do?" The middle-aged coachman said bitterly. Said with a straight face.
"Use a precious tent to cover your whole body during the lecture?" Shen Luo was startled when he heard the words.
Ordinary eminent monks hold Dharma meetings directly in front of the believers, to show the meaning of being unobstructed and unstoppable, but this master Jiang Liu is a maverick.
Lu Huaming also walked over at this moment, his eyes showed surprise when he heard this.
"The two of us are going to Jinshan Temple. If Your Excellency is willing, why don't we send this precious tent there for you." Shen Luo turned his eyes and said.
"Really? But this precious tent is very heavy, and the two heroes may not be able to lift it with bare hands." The middle-aged coachman was overjoyed at first, and then said worriedly.
"It doesn't matter if we are strong." Shen Luo said as he picked up the precious tent from the ground.
He casually lifted up the huge treasure tent like twisting a lamp grass.
"The two heroes are really my saviors, so I'll trouble you, just hand over the treasure account to Elder Zhe Shi of Guangbu Hall at Jinshan Temple." The middle-aged coachman was relieved and thanked again and again.
Shen Luo nodded, and walked towards Jinshan Temple with the precious tent.
"Brother Shen, you are helping that person deliver the treasure tent. Do you want to find out the bottom line of Jinshan Temple? Why is this so? Could it be that the monks of Jinshan Temple won't allow us to enter?" Lu Huaming said.
"There's nothing wrong with being careful." Shen Luo said.
With the foot strength of the two of them, the next mountain road passed in a blink of an eye, and they soon came to the front of Jinshan Temple.
Jinshan Temple was just an ordinary temple at the time, but Master Xuanzang, the eminent monk, donated countless property sincerely from nearby gentry and rich people. In the distance, several pagodas with a height of several tens of feet have been built, and their grandeur has surpassed several royal temples in Chang'an City.
"Jinshan Temple really deserves its reputation." Shen Luo couldn't help sighing when he saw the scene in front of him.
Hundreds of pilgrims gathered in front of the gate of Jinshan Temple, but the gate of the temple was closed at this moment, and all the pilgrims gathered outside the door and waited.
It's just that these people seem to be used to it and are not dissatisfied. Some people even burn incense and candles here and recite prayers.
Shen Luo listened attentively for a while, and quickly figured out the reason of the incident. It turned out that Jinshan Temple has been like this in recent years. The gate of the mountain is not always open, and pilgrims have to wait until after noon every day to enter.
"This Jinshan Temple is so magnificent, even the Chong'an Temple in Chang'an City does not have such rules, and the temple is also built in a weird way, so golden bricks and jade tiles, more splendid than the imperial palace." Lu Huaming shook his head and said.
"Hey, the kid from there, how dare you point fingers at our Jinshan Temple!" A loud shout came from the side, but a tall purple-robed monk came over and shouted in a deep voice.
Surrounded by magic power, this purple-robed monk is a monk of the Bigu period, and his muscles are swollen, as if he has practiced some kind of body training technique, and his body breath is far better than that of an ordinary monk of the Bigu period.
"Your Buddhist temple is built in such a way that it is neither fish nor fowl at all. Could it be that other people still think it's unreasonable." Lu Huaming said with a smile.
"Jinshan Temple was built by Grand Master Jiang Liu himself. The purpose is to spread my Buddha's name. How can you question it? Hurry up and apologize, otherwise don't blame the poor monk for being rude." The purple-robed monk snorted, rather domineering look.
Shen Luo and Lu Huaming were a little surprised when they heard this.
It is a Buddhist temple repaired by Master Jiang Liu, this person is too maverick.
"Don't blame this master, my companion always likes to talk nonsense, please forgive me." Shen Luo stepped forward and said.
"Hey, who is talking nonsense." Lu Huaming shouted dissatisfiedly from behind.
"The two of us are here to bring a precious tent for someone. It is said that it will be used in the Dharma meeting of your temple." Shen Luo ignored Lu Huaming's complaints and raised the precious tent in his hand.
"Oh, the curtain in the temple was indeed broken a few days ago. If so, please give me this precious curtain." The purple-robed monk glanced at Shen Luo, and reached out to take it.
"I don't know the Master's Dharma name? This treasure account is to be handed over to Elder Zhe Shi of the Guangbu Hall of your monastery." Shen Luo retreated slightly, allowing this person to take it.
"Bold! Bring it!" The purple-robed monk's face turned cold, golden light appeared on his fingers, and he quickly grabbed it again and took it to the precious tent.
The prestige of Jinshan Temple has grown day by day in recent years, and it seems to be the number one cultivating sect in Jiangzhou. In recent years, the atmosphere in the temple has changed greatly. Fluctuates, but doesn't care much.
But as soon as the purple-robed monk's hand touched the treasure tent, a soft force came, although it was not sharp, it was like waves rippling, continuous and continuous, not only shook his grasp, but the soft force More penetrated his body protection mana.
The purple-robed monk's arms went numb, and even half of his body felt weak for a while. He couldn't help but took two steps back, and his face suddenly changed.
"I was entrusted by others, so I can't hand over the treasure account to others at will. Please forgive me, master." Shen Luo smiled lightly.
"You!" The purple-robed monk's face flashed with anger, and he wanted to attack again, but the person in front of him was unpredictable, he thought he was not an opponent, and he hesitated.
"Who is making noise outside?" At this moment, the closed temple door opened, and a monk in yellow robe came out.
This person has a wide robe and long sleeves, a fat body, with drooping ears, like a Maitreya Buddha, but his eyes are very cold.
Shen Luo and Lu Huaming's expressions changed slightly. This person was actually a monk at the out-of-body stage, and his aura was huge and strong, and his cultivation level seemed to be higher than the two of them.
"Elder Tang Shi! These two lunatics talked absurdly about Master Jiang Liu, and even snatched away the precious tent that was going to be used in the ceremony for a while. The disciple just wanted to get it back, but was shaken away by this man with evil methods. I think they are clearly I want to disrupt the order in front of the temple and disrupt today's ceremony." The purple-robed monk hurried over, spouting nonsense and complaining.
Shen Luo frowned, as a Buddhist disciple, why did he speak such lies.
Chapter 0623 Unspeakable Hidden
"Two fellow daoists, is what Huiming said true?" Elder Tang Shi's face sank, and he looked at Shen Luo and the two of them.
"Elder Tang Shi misunderstood that the Buddha's name in Jinshan Temple has spread far and wide, and everyone in the world admires it. How dare the two of us disturb the Dharma Assembly of your temple? It's just that we were entrusted by someone to deliver this precious tent to Elder Zhe Shi of your temple. I didn't hand it over to this purple-robed master, please forgive me." Shen Luo's thoughts turned in his mind, and he apologized, his voice amplified a little intentionally or unintentionally.
When the pilgrims on the side heard the voice, they all looked over and discussed in low voices.
"Since the two fellow Taoists are delivering treasure tents for others, please enter the temple, Huiming, go and invite Elder Zhe Shi over." Elder Tang Shi glanced at the pilgrims nearby, and said to Shen Luo and the other two.
"Thank you, elder." Shen Luo thanked and winked at Lu Huaming, and the two of them followed Elder Tang Shi and the purple-robed monk into Jinshan Temple.
Behind the gate of the temple is a huge square, the ground is paved with white jade, and the light is shining, which makes people feel small at a glance.In the center of the square, nine large bronze tripods with a height of two people are placed in three rows, three in each row. There are bursts of green smoke coming out of the tripods, and the strong smell of sandalwood condenses in the square. Getting up is a place for preaching and preaching on weekdays.
Not only this square, but from here, other places in Jinshan Temple are also magnificently built. The ground is all paved with white jade or sapphire.
Seeing this situation, both Shen Luo and Lu Huaming were surprised.
As soon as he entered the temple, the purple-robed monk gave Shen a secret look, and walked quickly towards the temple, apparently to invite that elder Shi.
"Where are you two fellow Taoists? What is your purpose in coming to Jinshan Temple?" Elder Tang Shi waited for the purple-robed monk to walk away, then turned to look at the two of Shen Luo, and asked in a slightly cold voice.
"Master, why did you say that? Didn't I already say it just now? The two of us admire the beauty of Jinshan Temple, so we came here to pay a special visit. By the way, I will give this precious tent to a coachman at the foot of the mountain." Shen Luo laughed.
"Both of you are out-of-body masters, will you deliver things for an ordinary person?" Elder Tang Shi asked coldly.
"Insects, ants, cattle and sheep, immortals, Buddhas, and mortals are all sentient beings. Why can't the two of us deliver this precious tent for the coachman?" Shen Luo retorted with a smile.
"This..." Elder Tang Shi froze when asked, unable to answer.
"Who are you two? If you keep messing around, don't blame the poor monk for being rude." Elder Tang Shi seemed to have a violent temper, and his expression sank.
At the same time, a golden light flashed on his feet, and the exposed skin on the soles of his feet instantly turned golden, as if suddenly cast from gold, and he slammed on the ground.
The ground rumbled and trembled, and nearby buildings shook for a while.
"Master has supernatural powers. This is the Jinshan Temple's Vajra Subduing Demon Dafa. It's really amazing. It's just that the master treats outsiders like this. Do you want to do it if you disagree?" Lu Huaming was asked repeatedly, angry in his heart, and did not reveal his identity. said coldly.
Shen Luo frowned, once he fought with this fat monk, let alone the outcome, he was afraid that he would turn against Jinshan Temple.
This Jinshan Temple was strange, that's why he didn't reveal his identity immediately, he wanted to come in to investigate the situation first, and then he proposed to invite Master Jiang Liu.But if we continue to hide the current situation, I'm afraid something bad will happen.
