Back to the early Tang Dynasty to be a fairy

Chapter 221 A bald master, one person needs to do things and one person should be responsible

In an alley in Liquanfang, Master Abald covered his face with his monk's robe, and walked along the wall in the direction of the gate of Liquanfang.

He finally understood...

The Taoist priests from the Taishi Bureau are determined to catch him today. These monasteries in Liquanfang are not safe now, and they can only escape from the opponent's grasp by hiding a little farther away.

"Well, first go to Jinchengfang to find Master Ah, and then go to the south of the city to find a temple to hide."

A few minutes later, Master Atu poked his head out from the entrance of the alley, looked vigilantly towards the road, and after confirming that it was safe, he slipped out cautiously, pretending to be indifferent, and walked onto the road facing north.

"There were more than 100 temples in Chang'an City, and someone who didn't believe in the Taishi Bureau dared to smash them all."

At this time, on the house near the head of A Bald Master, a cute little milk cat was covering its mouth with its small paws, and yawned.

"Ow!"

"arrive!"

A bald master looked at the gate of Liquanfang in front of him, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

"As long as someone can go out..."

boom!
A fist with a red sleeve protruded from the corner of the corner, and it smothered his face.The bald master who was caught off guard was immediately raised by the punch, a golden light flashed across his body, and the shield formed by the Vajra Mantra was shaken by this punch.

"Who!"

A bald master took two steps back, quickly drew out the strange-shaped dagger and held it in his hand.

"come out!"

stomping on...

Footsteps sounded, and a handsome man in fiery red armor appeared in front of him expressionlessly.

In the hand of this handsome man was holding a red-haired baby boy, and a red-haired baby girl was sitting on the man's shoulder, with four cute big eyes looking at him flickeringly.

"Master Abald..."

There was no emotion in the handsome man's eyes, he calmly pulled out a long sword burning with raging flames from behind, and said lightly.

"Your death is here!"

"Fire Spirit!"

A bald master suddenly took a step back and said in an unbelievable tone.

"How could there be a spirit of fire in Chang'an City? Didn't you all get killed by Qingxiazi..."

Swish!
The handsome man didn't bother him at all, he just swung his sword straight up.And the two chubby red-haired babies he brought with him opened their chubby little hands and rushed towards Master Abald, still giggling.

"Come play a game with us!"

"Let's give you a big hug!"

"Damn!"

A bald master gritted his teeth, waved the dagger in his hand and charged forward.

……

Half an hour later, Monk Zhishi looked at the monastery that was about to become a dilapidated eaves and walls, and wanted to cry without tears.

Like Liquan Temple, almost all Buddha statues, Buddhist scriptures, and even murals with Buddhist figures, caissons and other things were destroyed by these hateful Taoist priests in the name of hunting down Master Abald; Those who resisted, including those monks who used 'silent protest' to express their displeasure, were all beaten up.

Monk Zhishi, who had been running back and forth, intending to stop the evil deeds of these Taoist priests, finally looked at the pile of wooden Buddha statues that had been charred in the yard, and muttered to himself with a look of disappointment.

"I'm so stupid, really..."

Quietly picked up another string of rosary beads from the clay sculpture in the Daxiong Palace, and the corner of Kong Qing's mouth twitched when he threw it into the demon refining pot.

That's right, you only know that your Buddhist school can be unreasonable, but you don't know that our Taoist school can actually be unreasonable, right?

boom!
Just when the work of searching (beating) and finding (smashing) was coming to an end, 'A Bald Master' reappeared, and continued to climb over the wall and escape under the watchful eyes of the idlers around him.

"Chase!"

Kong Qing waved his small hand and said righteously.

"No matter where Master Ah Tu escapes, we must catch him!"

"Chase chase chase!"

The contented people who watched the excitement around also shouted.

"We must catch Master Ah Bald..."

"Miaosheng Temple, Master Ah Bald must have fled to Miaosheng Temple..."

"That's right! Daoist masters, let's hurry to Miaosheng Temple?"

"Break Miaosheng Temple and capture the little... Abald Master alive!"

"..."

Hearing these idlers' words, the corners of Kong Qing's eyes twitched violently.

These bastards!

Miaosheng Temple is a nunnery, okay? If Pindao really rushed into the nunnery with a group of Taoist priests...

Then there will be headlines in Chang'an tomorrow.

"Shocked, a group of strong Taoist priests did these things to the nun..."

"Headmaster..."

At this moment, Wang Min ran back over the wall with a look of excitement.

"Master Ah Bald ran to the Jingkong Temple ahead."

"it is good!"

The ring on his finger lit up, and after a loud bang, Kong Qing stood at the gap in the wall of Ganquan Temple and raised his fist.

"Everyone, follow me, aim for Jingkong Temple!"

After hearing Kong Qing's words, a fat man with a wretched face shouted loudly in the crowd.

"Little God, what's the point of going to Jingkong Temple? Abald Master must have escaped into Miaosheng Temple. Let's search Miaosheng Temple first!"

"Yep……"

There was also a group of guys who watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal followed suit.

"Go to Miaosheng Temple, Miaosheng Temple!"

Someone was still raising their arms and shouting in the middle.

"Break Miaosheng Temple and capture the little nun alive!"

Kong Qing's face was determined, he didn't care about these bastards watching, he led the rest of the Taoist priests around a corner, and rushed towards Jingkong Temple.

"cut……"

Seeing that Kong Qing had no intention of going to Miaosheng Temple at all, the group of idlers began to boo Kong Qing and the others one after another.

"Masters, don't be cowardly..."

"Miaosheng Temple is just ahead..."

"..."

Just when these spectators were clamoring desperately for Kong Qing to take the Taoists to the nunnery to smash and loot, a scribe in long gown who was startled by their voices came out from a nearby house, curious sized them up.

After looking around, the scribe saw a beautiful woman in white clothes holding a sandalwood fan and watching the excitement among the crowd. Suddenly, his expression became stiff.

"Miss?"

……

boom!
A bald master fell off the courtyard wall of Jingkong Temple in a panic, then rolled and crawled, and ran towards the inside of the temple in a panic.

There were several scorched marks on his monk robe, and even his curly hair was burnt yellow.

A handsome man in red armor appeared on the top of the temple wall, with an expressionless indifference on his face, watching the running back of Master Abald, and then the figure disappeared into the air.

A little milk cat was lying on the eaves of Jingkong Temple, looking down at Master Abald.

"Ow!"

At this moment, Master Ah Bald, who had fled forward in embarrassment, turned his head back and found that the fire spirit did not chase after him, so he breathed a sigh of relief and stroked his chest with his hands.

"Master Abald..."

After the door squeaked, a monk in his 40s, wearing a gray robe, opened the door and came out.

"Now Taishi Bureau is chasing you everywhere, why don't you leave quickly, why did you come to this temple?"

"It turned out to be the Great Monk Huiji..."

After seeing this monk, Master Ah Bald put his palms together and bowed his head in salute.

"The poor monk met Huoling Song Wuji's nephew, and he lost the battle, so he can only temporarily flee to Guibao Temple for a while. Don't worry, if the people from the Taishi Bureau come, the poor monk will leave immediately."

"Oh! So that's the case. No wonder the clothes on your body, Master, were burned to pieces..."

Monk Huiji nodded with concern in his eyes.

"If the master comes to the poor monk's meditation room to change his clothes, it's not too late to leave."

After hearing what the other party said, Master Ah Bald looked down at his clothes with many scorched marks, and smiled.

"Then there is the Great Monk Lao Huihe."

"Should be..."

Monk Huiji nodded and stretched out his hand.

"Master, please!"

Master Abald returned a salute, then passed by Monk Huiji, and entered the Zen room.As a result, just as he walked into the gate of the meditation room, he heard the monk Huizhen behind him shouting.

"Samaya mandala, get up!"

In an instant, white light flashed in the meditation room, and in an instant, Master Abald felt a force as if Mount Tai was pressing on him.

thump!
The incident happened suddenly, and Master Atu, who had no idea that he would be attacked, was crushed to the ground without any resistance.

"Great monk Huiji, you are..."

"Namo Sakyamuni Buddha!"

Monk Huiji chanted the Buddha's name, quickly touched Master Atu with his hand, pulled the strange-shaped dagger out of his body, and put it in his sleeve.

"I'm sorry, Master, you have to take responsibility for what you do yourself. Don't always think about bringing disasters to the east. Do you know that because of your affairs, the Taishi Bureau has already smashed Liquan Temple and Ganquan Temple, and the poor monk can be regarded as a poor temple. The presiding officer, in any case, cannot give the Taishi Bureau an excuse to let them smash the temple of the poor monk..."

A bald master lay on the ground with difficulty, looked at monk Huiji, and let out a sneer in his mouth.

"Grand Monk Huiji, the Taishi Bureau is deliberately planning to attack my Buddhist sect. Do you think it will have any real effect even if you hand over me?"

"Of course!"

Monk Huizhen clasped his hands together, with a solemn face.

"The so-called teacher is famous, it is true for us, and it is also true for Taishi Bureau."

"Ha ha,"

A bald master let out a miserable laugh.

"Then just wait and see..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw a little novice running over quickly.

"Chairman, people from the Taishi Bureau have called the door."

"Okay, poor monk, let's go..."

Monk Huiji tidied up his cassock and folded his palms together towards Master Atu.

"Master, although it is inappropriate for the poor monk to say this, I still want to remind you that the matter has come to this, master, you should save yourself some face!"

At the gate of Jingkong Temple, Kong Qing was dumbfounded...

In front of him, that is, on the square in front of the Jingkong Temple, seats had already been laid out, and there were a few tables and snacks and fruits on display. Several Zhike monks were smiling professionally at Kong Qing and the others.

"Come on, Tanyue, please take your seat, the abbot of our temple will be here soon, please wait a moment, drink some water, and eat something!"

　I found a very interesting comment today, saying, shouldn't the priests read the name of Wuliang Tianzun?

　　In fact, it is not true. In history, Taoists did not have the habit of chanting mantras such as Amitabha Buddha.

　　The rise of the Buddhist mantra, that is, the act of chanting Amitabha Buddha, is mainly the reason for the prosperity of the Pure Land Sect (Lian Sect).Because the philosophy of Pure Land Buddhism is that as long as you recite Amitabha Buddha many times, you will be reborn in the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss.

　　It has to be said that this measure is beneficial but cost-effective, and the cost performance is very high.

　　So many people think, anyway, it doesn't cost money, just read it a little bit, what if it is really useful!So the practice of reciting Amitabha became popular...

　　But Taoists are different. No matter which sect says that you can go directly to Tushita Heaven and become an immortal just by chanting Laojun's title, so Taoists don't have any Taoist titles to hang around all day long.

　　So how did the current Wuliang Tianzun appear?

　　First of all, in order to correspond to Buddhism, novel writers in the Ming and Qing Dynasties created a Taoist name called Wuliangshou Buddha, which was used to correspond to the monk’s Buddha name Amitabha. , but everyone wrote like this in novels, including Cao Xueqin's "Dream of Red Mansions". In the end, they were quoted by storytelling artists, and their influence greatly increased.

　　After liberation, master Xu Xinyou of Wuliangguan told the storytelling artists at that time, we Taoists do not call Buddha, this Wuliang Buddha is wrong, the Taoist god is called Tianzun, and then those storytelling artists changed the name of Wuliangshou Buddha to Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!

　　Well, things are so purple!
