Chapter 706 Respect
The emperors of the Southern Dynasty are also respectful of Buddhism. Whether they are generals of the Southern Dynasty border army or literati and poets of the Southern Dynasty, they are also full of complaints about the continuous construction of Buddhist temples by the Southern Dynasty emperors. Especially in Jiankang, the repaired ancient temples and newly built Buddhist temples are everywhere, and monks in the streets and alleys are also common as ordinary pawns and peddlers.
Lin Yi is also common in Jiankang City when some of the famous monks from famous temples in the Southern Dynasty travel, but most of the monks in the Southern Dynasty are frugal, and many monks from ancient temples travel on foot, rarely use large sedan chairs or chariots, and at most they follow the monks with great momentum.
Now that the Tuoba family's Tantric Buddhism appears, it looks like a luxurious jewelry spirit.
The whole body of this chariot is also made of red sandalwood. Red sandalwood is originally heavier than ordinary wood. Moreover, the chariot is inlaid with green pine, red coral, giant clams, pearls and other treasures, and is polished with brightly colored abalone shells, making the appearance even more colorful.
At the top of the chariot is a huge crystal bead. The hanging curtain under the crystal bead is made of pure black yak hair. This black hanging curtain itself is very ordinary in the orb. Ordinary door curtains are also made of this material, but the hanging curtains of the Buddha sect are embroidered with gold and silver threads to pierce dense scriptures.
The old monk in the hanging curtain was vaguely hunched, and naturally he looked extremely old, but his body was faintly radiating purple light. Through the hanging curtain, it was obvious that he was wearing a purple-gold monk's robe.
The charming fragrance hits my face.
The golden flowers paved the way until Xia Baying and Lin Yi's side.
These women wearing aries' leather jackets who sprinkled flowers seemed to sprinkle more golden flowers in front of Lin Yi than those in front of Xia Baying.
Lin Yi took a closer look at the golden flowers.
At first, he thought these golden flowers were chrysanthemums. At a rough look, it was indeed very similar, but when you look closely, each leaf was particularly wide and thick, just like a shrinking golden lotus.
"This is the Buddha's lotus."
A sound full of vicissitudes sounded, "It is the holy flowers that grow only on the most primitive mountains covered by glaciers, but with the gushing of earth fires, and the junction of fertile black soil and ice and snow."
Hearing this sound, the twelve yellow-robed monks carrying the chariot stopped in unison, and were pulled by a wonderful force. The hanging curtain of the chariot separated to both sides, revealing the figure of the Buddha Sect who was making noise inside.
Just as the tide was receding, the Tuoba people present almost retreated completely. Only Tuoba Xiongxin stood respectfully on the side of the chariot, and there were only more than ten ascetic monks left around. Even the twelve yellow-robed monks carrying the chariot retreated the same way after putting down the chariot.
Lin Yi's eyes slowly swept over the more than ten ascetic monks waiting on the side, and finally fell on the Buddha sect on the chariot.
Tuoba Xiongxin's confidence at the beginning was not unreasonable. Among the more than ten remaining ascetic monks, there were at least three practitioners in the realm of divine thoughts.
This Buddhist sect is indeed very old, with wrinkles on his face, his eyes are a little turbid, and his bones all over his body seem a little deformed because they are too old. In addition to being hunched over, even if he sits upright at this time, he feels like a crooked old tree.
He didn't have any hair like the ordinary ascetic monks, but his bare head was not an ordinary ring seal, but a slightly sunken strange pattern, like a map, but when he looked closely, he found that it was like a city map, with the lines crisscrossing and very regular.
"This is a mandala. In any Tantric teachings, the mandala is the city where the Buddha lives. It has the highest divine power to suppress evil. Of course, only the highest Tantric leaders are qualified to carve such patterns on their heads."
Seeing Lin Yi's gaze stopping above his head, the Tuoba Buddhist sect looked at him and said slowly.
Although his voice was full of vicissitudes, it seemed very gentle and felt very comfortable to hear.
"Then do you talk?"
Luo Jilian's voice suddenly sounded at this moment. She looked at Tuoba Xiongxin with a provocative look and said, "Lord Tuoba City, should you settle the rest of us first?"
The more rude and arrogant she acted, the more Tuoba Xiongxin believed that she had such qualifications, and the more she believed that she was indeed a representative of the Feiting royal family.
Tuoba Xiongxin had already learned about her personality before, and at this time he was afraid that she would say something rude to the Buddha Sect, so he didn't even hesitate, so he whispered to the back twice.
Two generals of the Tuoba clan rushed from behind the gate of the second city gate and made a gesture of inviting Luo Jilian.
"Are you staying here with him?"
Luo Jilian asked Bai Yuelu quietly. Seeing Bai Yuelu nodding, she stopped saying anything and led most of the Xiaba tribe to the city with the two Tuoba generals.
Lin Yi, Xia Baying and Bai Yuelu were left behind, and they were all practitioners of the Xia Ba tribe.
When the footsteps subsided, the Buddha Sect, who was waiting quietly on the chariot, raised his head slightly. His left hand moved slightly, stretched out his monk's wide sleeve with his left hand, turned his palm up, but he held a fist-sized gem in his hand.
The pearl is dim and looks like the afterglow of the sunset. It looks as soft as wax oil on the surface. The inside of the pearl is like many tiny seaweed solidifying inside.
Lin Yi turned his head and looked at Bai Yuelu. He didn't know what kind of bead it was, nor did he know what the action of the Buddha Sect meant. However, Bai Yuelu looked at him and his eyes were obviously confused. Obviously, he didn't know the origin of the bead in the hands of the Tuoba Buddhist Sect.
"Dangxiang is vast and sparsely populated, and the periphery is vast, and there is only a lack of people to explore. Since the Xiaba tribe has risen, it will be a good thing if it can control Dangxiang with the Tuoba clan." At this moment, the Buddha Sect was already watching him and Xiabaying speak, and as he spoke, a gentle breath of true vitality also spread on him.
This true energy aura also has a meaning of aging, and it has not exceeded the realm of divine thoughts. The first feeling given Lin Yi was that as a practitioner alone, this Buddhist sect is not very powerful to him.
"What are your Xiaba tribe's requirements?" The Buddha Sect continued slowly.
"Apart from the Tuoba clan and the Xiaba clan and the Feiting clan, there are no other royal clans in Dangxiang."
Xia Baying remained silent, and Luo Jilian's random bragging made her learn. She also spoke nonsense at this time, "After our coalition destroyed the other royal families, our three tribes will govern the Party Xiang, but the next three tribes must have a coalition force and include Tuguhun into our Party Xiang territory."
"This requirement is reasonable," said the Buddha Sect directly.
His speaking was straightforward, which also changed Tuoba Xiongxin's expression.
Although this is simple, it is not easy to do. He never thought that the Buddha Sect would agree directly in one go.
"It's just that Tuoba and my Tantric Buddhism also have a small requirement."
At this moment, the Buddha Sect waved his right hand again, as if to signal him not to say anything more.
