Chapter 484

Although the Western Regions and the Buddhists had been allies for the past 500 years, there was no lack of open and covert strife between them.

Especially when it came to the treatment of Confucian scholars, the Buddhists actively spread their hatred.

Every single Buddhist follower basically hated the scholars of the Central Plains.

This enmity was formed when the Yunlu Academy carried out the extermination of Buddhism.

Everyone knew that the imperial court of the Central Plains was the world of scholars. The imperial court was filled with scholars.

Therefore, the Mahayana Buddhists couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Speaking of which, the climate of the Central Plains was indeed different. The air was more humid, and there seemed to be a sweet smell when one breathed in.

The sun was bright, but it wasn't scorching. The group of believers from the Western Regions had already taken off their heatproof hats and robes along the way.

In addition, along the way, they saw green mountains and clear waters. The weeds by the roadside were green and pleasant, and the wildflowers by the roadside emitted a fragrance. This didn't mean that there were no flower fields and green mountains in the Western Regions, but the land of the Central Plains gave the people of the Western Regions an indescribable 'gentleness' and 'exquisiteness'.

The scenery of the Western Regions was more rugged and vast.

"Brother Zhu Lai, if we had lived in the Central Plains in the past, we wouldn't have needed to beg. There are fruits everywhere on the mountains that can be picked."

A young man pointed at the wild fruits hanging heavily on the treetops not far away and said.

Zhu Lai pressed his palms together.

"Amitabha. There's vitality everywhere in this world."

After a pause, he looked around and said to the Mahayana Buddhists around him,

"Xu Yinluo's words carry enormous weight in the Central Plains, and he's the supreme Buddha of the Three Thousand Worlds, the founder of the Mahayana Buddhism. He definitely won't mistreat us.

"Fellow disciples, don't worry."

After months of baptism in the Dharma, he had shed the slyness and sneakiness of a beggar in the market and sincerely converted to Mahayana Buddhism.

At that moment, the sound of hooves on the official road ahead stirred up dust. A group of cavalry in light armor galloped over.

The Mahayana Buddhists instinctively became vigilant, their expressions nervous.

Jingsi pressed her hand down and briefly comforted the believers before taking the initiative to welcome them.

"Law!"

The cavalry stopped in front of him. The officer in the lead said in a deep voice,

The leading officer said in a deep voice, "Master, are you Jingsi?"

Jingsi nodded and pressed his palms together.

"That is me. Is this Panshan County?"

Is this place Panshan County? "

"On the orders of the Thunder Province's administrative envoy, I'm here to welcome Master Jing Si and the Mahayana Buddhists."

As he spoke, he stretched his neck on the horse's back and looked into the distance.

The dense stream of people flowed along the official road all the way to the end of their sight.

The young officer immediately made a judgment. This group of Mahayana Buddhists had more than 20,000 people.

Upon hearing that they were here to welcome them, the Mahayana Buddhists behind Jingsi felt slightly relieved.

"Monk.



The young officer nodded, turned his horse around, and slowly walked in front of the group, responsible for leading the way.

Continuing along the official road, on both sides of the official road, there were orderly plots of fields, the golden wheat rising and falling in waves.

The farmers harvested the crops with sickles in their hands. They worked under the sun, sweating profusely, but the exuberant vitality and the joy of harvest made the Mahayana Buddhists along the way yearn for it.

It was said that the Central Plains was rich and fertile, and it was indeed true.

They now had some confidence in their own future and the future of Mahayana Buddhism.

After all, it was normal for one to feel uneasy and uneasy after leaving their hometown and coming to an unfamiliar environment and facing an unknown future.

An hour later, a slightly dilapidated city wall appeared in their field of vision.

"Is our temple in the city?"

The young officer shook his head.

"You don't have a temple yet, and you don't live in the city."

"You don't have a temple, and you don't live in the city."

Jingsi frowned. The Mahayana Buddhists had come all the way to the Central Plains and lived in the wilderness. What they needed the most now was rest and food.

Jing Si frowned. The Mahayana Buddhists had traveled all the way to the Central Plains and lived in the wilderness. What they needed the most now was rest and food.

Then, where did the believers he brought with him live?

Then where did the believers that he brought with him live?

With trust in Aunt-Master Du 'e and Xu Yinluo, he did not protest. Under the lead of the officer, he bypassed the county and continued forward.

The mountain range wasn't high, but it was exceptionally beautiful and filled with vitality.

The terrain of this mountain range was not high, but it was abnormally beautiful and full of vitality.

The mountain range wasn't high, but it was exceptionally beautiful and filled with vitality.

Tents were set up by the river. On the road leading to the foot of the mountain, countless commoners were pushing flatbeds, transporting bricks and timber up the mountain.

Jing Si's gaze followed the working people up and saw a huge temple that had begun to take shape in the middle of the forest.

The Mahayana Buddhists clearly saw it as well.

They muttered in the language of the Western Regions, trying hard to suppress their joy and anticipation.

Jingsi looked at the officer and said, "This is it?"

"This is it?"

The young officer nodded.

"In the future, this Panshan Mountain will be your resting place. The Imperial Court has given you the land at the foot of the mountain and the fields further south. Before you settle down, if you have any issues, you can communicate with the Panshan County Magistrate.

"However, before the temple is built, you can only live in tents at the foot of the mountain."

He paused for a moment and smiled.

"There aren't many people in Panshan County. Building this temple requires a lot of manpower and resources. We are short of manpower. Master Jingsi, you came at the right time."

Nearly twenty thousand Mahayana Buddhists were free labor.

"It's only right!"

Of course, Jingsi had no objections.

He turned to face the Mahayana Buddhists and told them about the arrangements of the Daibun Imperial Court and the construction of the temple.

The young officer sat on horseback. Although he didn't understand the language of the Western Regions, he could tell from the cheers of the crowd that the Buddhists were very satisfied with the arrangements of the Imperial Court.

…

"One: I have chosen six counties in the central region of Leizhou and Chu Zhou to settle the Mahayana Buddhists. In order to prevent conflicts with the local people, most of the places of settlement are temples in the mountains or expand deserted villages and transform them into temples.

"Four: Your Majesty, have the relevant decrees been implemented?"

"One: Not yet! What do you think, Brother Chu? "

Chu Yuanzhen, who had traveled in the Western Regions for several years, spoke actively.

"Four: Mahayana Buddhists can be exempted from taxes and allocated land, but the act of donating land by believers is prohibited. The land allocated according to the number of people cannot be changed. "

"One: If the Mahayana Buddhists spread in the Central Plains, the number of people who escape to Buddhism will increase day by day. This method can be used in the short term, but not in the long term."

"Three: Create a special yellow book for Mahayana Buddhists. This can effectively prevent wild monks and temples from privately accepting disciples, and the situation of disorderly expansion."

At this time, Xu Qi 'an jumped out to express his opinion.

When discussing government affairs, it was usually No.1, No.3, and No.4 who chattered endlessly, and the other members were silent.

Those who really want to convert to Buddhism should not be bound by the so-called yellow book … Master Hengy Yuan put down the fragment of the Book of the Earth in his hand and protested in his heart.

However, he was very rational and did not refute.

Because No.1, No.3, and No.4 were all sharp-tongued people, and they talked endlessly.

Usually, in such a situation, Master Hengy Yuan would put his hands together and say:

"You are right!"

Hengy Yuan put away the fragment of the Book of the Earth, looked up at the Green Dragon Temple in the White Phoenix Mountain, and silently climbed the mountain.

He passed through the temple gate and came to the meditation room of the Green Dragon Temple's abbot, Monk Pan Shu, under the guidance of a young monk.

"Senior Brother Hengy Yuan, the abbot has been waiting for you."

After the young monk said that, he lowered his head and left.

Hengy Yuan stood outside the door and hesitated for a moment before gently knocking on the door.

"Come in!"

An old voice came from the meditation room.

Hengy Yuan pushed the door open and stepped through the threshold with a creak. He saw an old monk sitting cross-legged on a meditation cushion.

After not seeing him for three years, Monk Pan Shu had aged even more. His face was covered in age spots and wrinkles, but his eyes were still clear and gentle as he looked at him.

"Disciple Hengy Yuan greets Master."

Hengy Yuan pressed his palms together and bowed.

Monk Pan Shu said slowly,

"Do you know why the fellow disciples in the temple have ostracized you since you were young?"

Hengy Yuan shook his head.

"I'm slow-witted!"

Abbot Pan Shu said softly,

"Everyone is educating themselves, but you are the one who wants to educate others. Naturally, you are ostracized.

"I know your past bitterness and puzzlement. Why your fellow disciples don't like you, why I watched coldly from the sidelines. You like to study Buddhist scriptures and comprehend the Dharma, but I don't allow you to practice Zen."

Hengy Yuan remained silent. He had grown up in Azure Dragon Temple, but his relationship with his fellow disciples was not good.

After his junior brother, Heng Hui, whom he had personally raised, disappeared, he no longer had any attachment to the sect and chose to leave the sect. He left for three years.

Abbot Pan Shu's indifference played a major role.

Abbot Pan Shu sighed and said,

"Because I can't teach you."

Hengy Yuan was stunned. He did not expect such an answer.

Abbot Pan Shu said,

"I've cultivated my entire life, but I can't help others."

Hengy Yuan said in a low voice,

"Educating others and oneself is a good result."

"Dhu Lohan left the Western Regions Buddhism and created Mahayana Buddhism. This is the general trend. Azure Dragon Temple should follow the trend and support Dhu Lohan. Hengy Yuan, you are a natural-born Mahayana Buddhist, and you have a close relationship with Xu Yinluo. "

Abbot Pan Shu said, "I called you back today because I want to pass on the position of abbot to you."

Hengy Yuan was stunned.

Without waiting for his response, Abbot Pan Shu clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and smiled.

"You've found your Dao. Congratulations!"

Hengy Yuan did not refuse. He clasped his hands together and bowed.

When he raised his head again, Abbot Pan Shu had already passed away.

Hengy Yuan silently stared at him like a statue.

…

Celestial Commissioner.

In a room on the fourth floor. The room was spacious and had nine teleportation platforms, corresponding to different continents.

The ninth teleportation platform corresponded to the ocean.

With enough teleportation jade talismans, one could teleport to Merfolk Island several times in a row.

But Merfolk Island was not the destination. Wherever Nine-Tailed Fox brought the Demon God descendant, the teleportation formation would be built there.

This was to ensure that she would not get lost in the vast ocean.

Suddenly, the teleportation formation representing Southern Border lit up. A woman wearing a black silk dress appeared on the platform.

She had a beautiful oval face, well-defined facial features, blue eyes, and two slender snakes hanging from her earlobes.

Heart Voodoo division leader Chun Yan glanced around before leaving the teleportation platform. She opened the door of the room and found a white clothed Warlock at the end of the corridor.

After introducing herself, she said:

"Please inform Xu Yinluo that the Extreme Abyss Gu God's power has surged and two Transcendence realm Gu beasts have been born."
