Chapter 824: Jiaye Temple
Chapter 824 Jiaye Temple
Mount Xumi.
The Xumi Mountain in the Central Plains is very large, with a radius of hundreds of miles and a strong mountain. It has always been called one of the three holy places of Buddhism together with the Bodhi Mountain and Mount Wutai in the Central Plains.
The Jiaye Temple in Mount Xumi has existed for thousands of years.
It is said that the first generation of the Jiaye Temple was a wandering monk who traveled the world with a big iron chain hanging around his neck. He got lost in Mount Xumi and was trapped for ten days and a half months. When he was about to starve to death, he sat under the old Bodhi tree on the Guanzi Peak and waited for ascension.
It was under that tree that the old monk actually became a Buddha.
When this dark old monk who once went door to door with an iron chain hanging on his head appeared again, it was decades later. He exuded a solemn Buddha light all over his body, and his Buddhist supernatural powers were even more unfathomable. He founded the Jiaye Temple lineage on the Ten Thousand Buddha Peak of Mount Xumi and called himself Tian Chanzi.
Speaking of Tian Chanzi's past, it was quite mysterious. According to what Tian Chanzi said to others, he entered a fantasy world under the Bodhi tree, where he saw the true appearance of the Buddha. It was like a dream, and it didn't last long. But when he woke up, a hundred years had passed outside of his body.
It was in line with the saying in the world of cultivation that there is no Jiazi in the mountains, but a thousand years have passed in the world.
The Jiaye Temple founded by Tian Chanzi rose rapidly in just a few hundred years, and took advantage of the fact that there were few cultivation sects in the world at that time to send out disciples in large numbers, occupy the mountains and rivers, and establish a sect.
When the Taoist Xuanmen headed by Cangyunmen came to their senses, countless small Buddhist temples appeared in the mountains all over the Middle Earth. These small temples gradually developed and formed the current Buddhist lineage.
However, Buddhism has existed since ancient times. The Jiaye Temple is known as the ancestor of Zen Buddhism. The sutra practiced there is the "Fa Guang Bao Fo Xin Jing" created by Tian Chanzi. This sutra can be said to be the great vehicle of heaven and earth, and its influence is extremely far-reaching. Now more than half of the Buddhist temples and nunneries practice supernatural powers from this set of Buddhist true methods.
In addition to Zen Buddhism, there is also Tantric Buddhism. Some ignorant mortals think that Zen Buddhism is a temple and Tantric Buddhism is a nunnery. This is wrong.
The existence of Buddhist Tantric Buddhism is much longer than that of Zen Buddhism. Tian Chanzi was a great monk before he attained enlightenment. To be precise, he was a great Tantric monk. At that time, all monks belonged to Tantric Buddhism, and there was no such thing as Zen Buddhism.
The method of distinguishing between Zen and Tantric Buddhism in the cultivation world is very simple. Those who practice the true method of "Fa Guang Bao Fo Xin Jing" are generally classified as Zen Buddhism founded by Tian Chanzi.
And those who practice "Dainichi Tathagata Sutra" are Tantric Buddhism.
The more powerful sects of Tantric Buddhism include Jixiang Temple on Mount Bodhi and Qingliang Temple on Mount Wutai.
It must be said that Tian Chanzi is indeed a pioneering figure. Since ancient times, there have been only four Buddhist scriptures that can be called scriptures, namely the Diamond Sutra, the Sūtra of the Lotus Sutra, the Lotus Sutra, and the Mahavairocana Sutra.
Ten thousand years ago, the illiterate Sixth Patriarch Huineng, who could not even recognize a single character, wrote the famous Buddhist verse: There is no Bodhi tree, and the mirror is not a stand. There is nothing at all, so where can dust arise?
As a result, the illiterate Sixth Patriarch Huineng created the Sixth Patriarch Zen Sutra, which is known as the fifth sutra in the world.
After tens of thousands of years, Tian Chanzi created the Heart Sutra of the Light of the Buddha, which is the sixth sutra in the world. He is indeed a once-in-a-million-year figure, and it is impossible not to admire him.
Ye Xiaochuan has been to Mount Xumi several times. The reason why he hates this place is because of Xuanying in the back mountain of Guanzizai Peak. He was afraid of seeing Xuanying before. Now he has learned about Xuanying's life experience from Yao Xiaoyu. He knows that this old zombie has a problem with his brain and has lost his memory. He is even more afraid of Xuanying. He doesn't know when she will go crazy and kill him.
Some regrets asking Liujie and Jiesese to go to Beijiang Xiaoyao together, but they have to come to Mount Xumi to meet them. It is definitely unreasonable not to go to Wanfo Peak to visit Master Kongyuan when you come to Mount Xumi, so Ye Xiaochuan can only bite the bullet and follow everyone to the main altar of Jiaye Temple.
The road is not boring. Qi Feiyuan, who is knowledgeable and likes to show off, tells everyone the origin of Jiaye Temple. Everyone is fascinated by it. They also want to become immortal figures like Tianchanzi and Cangyunzi who founded a sect.
But they were born at the wrong time. They can only stand on the shoulders of giants and eat and wait for death. Heroes have no place to use their skills.
This time, the disciples of Cangyun Sect came to Mount Xumi as guests. They stayed in a small town outside Mount Xumi for one night. The next morning, led by Ye Xiaochuan and Du Chun, a group of people flew from the east direction where the morning glow was born to the Wanfo Peak deep in Mount Xumi.
Ye Xiaochuan had never been to Wanfo Peak. He had only seen Wanfo Peak from a distance before. It was the second highest peak in Mount Xumi after Guanzizai Peak.
Ye Xiaochuan was very curious. Did Tian Chanzi have an eye disease? Since he wanted to establish a sect, why didn't he choose Guanzizai Peak, the highest peak in Mount Xumi, but chose the shorter Wanfo Peak? This was too unreasonable. Moreover, it was said that Tian Chanzi attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree on the back mountain of Guanzizai Peak.
Take Cangyun Sect and Xuantian Sect as examples. Lunhui Peak is the highest peak in Cangyun Mountain, and Shenshan is also the highest peak in Kunlun Mountain. This reflects the majesty of a sect.
If he was Tian Chanzi, he would definitely shoot the main hall at Guanzi Peak.
Thinking of this question, Ye Xiaochuan felt cold in his heart. Guanzi Peak was Xuanying's territory. Now he knew that Tian Chanzi had no eye problems at all. He probably wanted to establish a sect at Guanzi Peak, maybe after being beaten by Xuanying.
Thinking of Tian Chanzi's enlightenment in the back mountain of Guanzizai Peak, Ye Xiaochuan couldn't help but wonder, could it be that his true Buddhist Dharma was passed down to him by the old zombie Xuanying?
As his thoughts flew, he was already close to Wanfo Peak.
It was morning at this moment, and the sun in the east shone on Wanfo Peak, as if the entire mountain had turned golden, and the rolling sea of clouds under his feet also turned golden, solemn and solemn, as if he had really arrived at the paradise mentioned in Buddhism.
Just before arriving at the mountain gate, dozens of golden lights slowly flew out from the golden sea of clouds, led by Zen Master Jiekong, one of the six masters in the world today, followed by Jiexian, Jiechen and other outstanding young disciples of this generation of Jiaye Temple.
Du Chun informed Jiaye Temple in advance that no elders from the older generation would come this time. Although Ye Xiaochuan and others also got a Cangyun elder, they were not elders from the older generation after all. They were all disciples of the Zong generation, so Jiaye Temple did not send elders from the Kong generation to welcome them, but sent Jie Kong and others from the Jie generation to welcome them.
Ye Xiaochuan and Jie Kong were old acquaintances. They had fought side by side in the Western Regions. He smiled from afar and said, "Brother Jie Kong, I miss you so much after not seeing you for a few days!"
Jie Kong was dressed in a moon-white monk robe, with an elegant demeanor and handsome appearance. Even monks were different.
Jie Se and Liu Jie were representatives of ugly monks, while Jie Kong was a representative of handsome monks.
Jie Kong put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, fellow Taoists have come from afar to visit our small temple. I am sorry for not welcoming you. I am sorry."
