Longevity

Fa Kong's heart saw the purple-clothed inner prisoner outside, standing awe-inspiringly outside the gate of the outer courtyard of the Kongo Temple.

They acted in a well-behaved manner, and they were not bad at all. They first sent people to tell them, and they would not enter the temple until Fakong came out to greet them in person.

Xu Qingluo looked at Fa Kong in surprise.

Fa Kong shook his head: "I don't know what it is, go and take the edict."

"Master, if it is the abbot of Yuanming Temple, then..." Xu Qingluo said softly, "How about you hide for a while?"

It is very easy for the master to avoid the edict, as long as he uses his supernatural powers and leaves directly.

When people are not in the temple, they have to force them to follow the edict, which is too embarrassing.

"No need." Fa Kong shook his head.

The emperor actually issued this edict, and it was so neat and tidy. Fortunately, he had passed the wind to himself through Chu Ling.

Let Chu Ling ventilate himself, that is to give himself the opportunity to refuse to accept the edict and let himself hide.

The sin of avoiding the edict is not to be recited.

Since the edict has come, then accept the edict.

Xu Qingluo's big eyes flashed with doubts.

Although she was extremely smart, she didn't understand the subtle entanglement.

Fa Kong walked away, Xu Qingluo and Lin Feiyang followed and came to the gate.

The old inner supervisor in the purple robe smiled and gave a tithing ceremony: "Master Fakong, the emperor has an edict, Master, please accept the edict."

As he spoke, he took out the golden edict and offered it with both hands.

Fakong Heshi smiled: "You have to work."

He took the edict in both hands.

The purple-robed old inner prisoner joined together again, and fluttered away with the four purple-robed youth inner prisoners, and the surrounding pilgrims looked over curiously.

Fakong nodded to the surrounding pilgrims, then turned back to the temple.

As soon as they returned to the temple, Xu Qingluo and Lin Feiyang couldn't wait to take a look.

"It really is the abbot of Yuanming Temple!" Xu Qingluo sighed while touching her forehead.

Lin Feiyang said ignorantly, "Is the abbot of Yuanming Temple pretty good too?"

Xu Qingluo glanced at him and said, "Uncle Lin, Yuanming Temple is a royal temple, what's so good about it!"

"Royal monasteries are free." Lin Feiyang said inexplicably: "There are no chores and trivial matters. If you are also the abbot of a large temple, you will suffer."

He knows Fakong's temperament. He doesn't like trivial matters, and he likes to be leisurely and content.

It is good to also serve as the abbot of Yuanming Temple.

Seeing that he has also served as an abbot, in fact, it is almost the same as not having it, so this is the best.

He immediately showed a worried look: "The abbot has also served as the abbot of the Yuanming Temple. Will this outer temple...will give up the abbot's seat?"

Xu Qingluo laughed and said, "Uncle Lin, what are you thinking?"

Lin Feiyang said: "If the abbot in the temple feels that the abbot is still focusing on the abbot of Yuanming Temple, will he simply let someone else take over the position of the abbot of the outer courtyard?"

Xu Qingluo smiled and said, "Now a different person will come to be the abbot, unless everyone in the King Kong Temple is dazed."

In terms of high prestige, who among the monks in the world can match the master?

Master is now the abbot of the outer courtyard, and then when the abbot of the Kongo Temple resigns, he will take over as the abbot of the Kongo Temple.

This is a matter of course, a matter of course.

Master is already destined to be the next abbot of Kongo Temple.

At this time, send someone else to be the abbot of the outer courtyard of the Kongo Temple, and let Master relinquish the position of abbot?

Kongoji Temple can't do such a thing no matter how dazed it is.

"That's good." Lin Feiyang breathed a sigh of relief.

Pharaoh laughed.

Lin Feiyang said: "Abbot, that pillar is about to arrive, do you want to sneak it in?"

"Well, let's get it in quietly." Fa Kong nodded.

It is the soul-suppressing pillar of Yeyuezong, which has undergone the polishing of many souls and has become a rare treasure.

It is the fundamental tool for him to arrange Xiaoxitian Paradise.

Chu Ling came fluttering, white clothes like snow, smiling like flowers: "Monk, have you received the edict?"

Fakong nodded.

Chu Ling's eyebrows danced brightly: "Since you have received the edict, you should take office as soon as possible. The imperial grandmother and the queen mother will wait for this moment."

Fa Kong said: "No hurry, let's talk about the Diamond Sutra after opening the forum first."

"Teaching scriptures...it's good for teaching scriptures, too." Chu Ling was also looking forward to Fakong's opening altar and preaching scriptures, and wanted to hear how wonderful the Buddhadharma was.

sunset

At the southern gate of Shenjing, people in twos and threes gathered together and lined up to go out.

They greeted each other and talked a lot, and the discussion was all about the opening of the forum this time.

The monk Fakong opened the altar to teach the Diamond Sutra, which is a rare event. Even those who do not believe in Buddhism would like to see the style of the monk preaching the scriptures.

At this time, on the top of a mountain opposite Nantian Peak, Fa Kong and Xu Qingluo stood side by side on a stone.

The breeze gently swept the purple gold cassock of Faku and Xu Qingluo's green robe.

The rays of light enveloped them, rendering them golden.

Xu Qingluo said disappointedly, "Master, it's much less than I imagined."

She originally thought that once the news of Fakong's opening of the altar and preaching the scriptures spread, it would immediately cause a sensation, and people would rush to come.

It is as lively as the monthly prayer ceremony.

But the reality told her to think too much.

There are people who come to listen to the scriptures, and it is very lively, but compared to what she imagined, there are only 12 out of 10.

It shouldn't attract so many people.

Fa Kong smiled and said, "No surprise."

"Master's followers shouldn't be so few." Xu Qingluo felt that the people who came to hear the scriptures were not even as many as the pilgrims in the outer courtyard of King Kong Temple.

There are too few people here.

Fa Kong said: "Those who serve incense are not necessarily those who like Buddhism. People in the world who believe in Buddha do not want to listen to Buddhism. They just want to worship Buddha and ask Buddha for blessing."

These believers don't care what the Buddha said, what principles he taught, or what principles they should follow, but only care whether the Buddha will bless them.

Believing in the Buddha, and then offering incense to the Buddha, is to seek to bless yourself.

When they want to come, devoutly worship and offer incense, and they can exchange for blessings without having to listen to any Dharma.

What is the use of knowing more about Buddhism?

No matter how much you know about Buddhist principles, how will it benefit your life? You can't make yourself more money, and you can't make yourself a prince and general.

With this time and energy, it is better to study or earn some money.

"That's true." Xu Qingluo sighed.

The world is like that.

Except for those who really practice Buddhism, the rest really don't care what the Buddhist scriptures say, and feel that it has nothing to do with them.

It is often the monks who truly practice Buddhism.

The monks practice the Buddhadharma, the believers recite the scriptures and worship the Buddha, and do their own deeds. This is an established concept.

Fa Kong smiled: "Step by step, don't worry."

"Master, aren't you in a hurry?" Xu Qingluo asked curiously.

Fa Kong shook his head: "It's already a lot to be able to come here."

His eyes fell on the gray-robed monks in twos and threes.

At this time, monks accounted for 60-70% of the people in Nantian Peak, and only 30-40% of the ordinary people were left.

This has initially achieved his purpose.

The purpose of his altar and sermons is to increase the number of believers, but not to win over ordinary believers. The monks are his real goal.

For ordinary believers, only the mantra is enough.

To open the altar and preach the scriptures, what they win is the influence of Buddhism, and what they gain are believers in the ten directions of the jungle, it is extremely difficult for them to win.

And the power of their beliefs is far beyond the reach of ordinary believers. More importantly, once they can win their beliefs, there will be more other benefits.

His influence is great now, that is in the ordinary people, but his influence in Buddhism is not enough, after all, he is still young.

Now it has only just opened up the one hundred and eight temples, just inside the Daxueshan sect.

It is difficult to spread influence to other monasteries.

Each practiced his own method and believed in his own Buddha. They would not believe in him because he had supernatural powers. They believed in their own Buddha.

He wanted to see if he could convince them with wisdom by teaching the Dharma, and at the same time strengthen the faith of ordinary believers.

The depth of belief determines how much confidence is provided to him every day, and what magical powers consume is confidence.

So the more confidence, the better.

More importantly, to build the Xiaoxitian Paradise of Bliss, a huge and vast amount of confidence is needed, and my current confidence is probably not enough.

People came to Nantian Peak in twos and threes, and saw that the futons had been placed on the rocks.

People sit on the futon and lean as much as possible.

Some people are weak, or their legs are not down, so they sit at the foot of the mountain and sit on the futon to look up.

They believed that as long as the futon was placed, they could hear Fa Kong's sermons.

Time passed slowly, and the sunset slowly approached Xishan.

Fa Kong suddenly appeared in front of Nantian Gate of Nantian Peak.

He sat squatting in the void, wearing a purple gold cassock, as if there was an invisible round platform in the void supporting him.

"Amitabha!" He clasped his palms together and proclaimed the Buddha's horn, which resounded throughout the entire Nantian Peak.

He glanced around ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ more than 2,000 people on Nantian Peak, and felt that Faku's eyes fell on his face, and he looked at himself.

With the sound of Fa Kong's Buddha's trumpet, they suddenly felt their bodies sink, their breath sinks, and their hearts suddenly calmed down.

As soon as the heart calmed down, the thoughts became extremely fast and sharp.

This Buddha's name has the wonderful effect of washing the body and mind, purifying the body and mind, and purifying the body and mind.

Fakong's gentle voice sounded: "Donors, today the poor monk will talk about the Diamond Sutra, what is the Diamond..."

He stretched out his left hand.

A vajra pestle appeared in the void, and then the vajra pestle dissipated, and a vajra sword appeared again, and the vajra sword also dissipated.

They all sparkle and are real.

"Is this a diamond?" Fakong said slowly: "It's a diamond, and it's not a diamond, so what exactly is a diamond?"

…

People quickly entered the state and listened to the Diamond Sutra taught by Fakong. When the surroundings were completely shrouded in twilight, Fakong stopped teaching the scriptures.

People sat on the futon without getting up, still immersed in the Dharma taught by Dharma Kong, deeply immersed in its subtlety.

When he regained his senses, he found that the sky was already dark, and the torches were lit up, forming a fire dragon, from the top of Nantian Peak to the South City Gate.

People walked along the torches, but the torches were held up by soldiers of the infantry division, and everyone was amazed.

When did the soldiers of the Infantry Division become so kind?

They are always vicious.

At this time, Fa Kong was already sitting at the stone table in the other courtyard of the Kongo Temple, carefully calculating the harvest.

Confidence is soaring.

The hope of setting up Xiaoxitian Paradise by himself has greatly increased.

Let's look at tomorrow's situation. If you have enough confidence, you can set up Xiaoxitian Paradise in the next few days.
