Chapter 177 The Buddhist Ceremony
The Water and Land Dharma Assembly, the full name of which is "Dharma Realm Saint Fan Water and Land Purdue Great Zhai Shenghui", is also the most grand and grand Dharma assembly in Chinese Buddhism.It originated in the period of Emperor Wu of Liang and prevailed in the Song Dynasty.

Taoism did not have water and land dojo activities at the beginning, and the reasons for this were extremely complicated, and it even involved Zhang Jiao and others who revolted in the name of Taoism.However, ever since the Buddhist Water and Land Dharma Association became popular, people in the Taoist sect sometimes held lively ones in order to enhance their own influence.

Of course, they are generally not directly called the Water and Land Ceremony, or the Water and Land Dojo.

For example, in the past two days, the Three Sects of Fuzhuan applied for the establishment of a water and land dojo in Jinling on the grounds that the emperor Luya of the Heavenly Court held a blessing celebration for the ancient god Luya.

Zhao Ji did not object to this, and even urged officials from all over the country to support it.

And just when the Three Sects of Fuzhuan were granted the "Ancient God Luya Blessing Celebration", the passenger ship carrying the body of Zen Master Wuming had already arrived near Yuhang.

Yuhang Wharf.

Today's Yuhang Wharf is very different, and it can even be said to be extremely noisy.

Early in the morning, densely packed monks appeared on the pier, and at a glance, there might be thousands of them.In addition to a large number of monks, there are also many yamen servants, and even the defenders of Yuhang are defending nearby.

Encountering this kind of thing naturally aroused the curiosity of many people.

Other parts of the pier were full of spectators, many of whom were from the martial arts world.

"What's going on here?"

"I don't know, so many monks appeared this early in the morning, and I don't know what happened."

"Hey, that one looks a bit like the head of Shaolin Temple?"

"Wait, look at the person at the front, does he look like the abbot of Mount Wutai?"

"Also, and there, there are two people next to the abbot of Mount Wutai. They seem to be Mount Putuo, and the abbot of Mount Jiuhua."

"Hiss, what the hell is going on here? Why are the abbots of the major Buddhist holy places here? Could something serious happen?"

"Nonsense, most of the Buddhist eminent monks have appeared at the moment. It would be strange if something big happened. I just don't know what happened, which alarmed so many Buddhist bigwigs."

Everyone was talking about it, and no one knew what happened.

Just when the onlookers were guessing, a passenger ship with a white ghost flag appeared in the distance.And with the appearance of the passenger ship, there was a sound of chanting on the pier.

"Namo Amita Poye Dotagata Ye, Duodiye Ta Amitara Dupovi."

The solemn and solemn voice made people restrain the distracting thoughts in their hearts.

There are many people who have something to do, and they understand after seeing such a scene.

The Sutra of the Rebirth, the passenger ship with the soul-inducing flag, this is someone who died overseas, and it is very likely that he is a big figure in Buddhism!
Amidst the solemn chanting, eight monks came down from the passenger ship carrying a simple coffin.There was someone behind who was carrying a huge wooden box, and I don't know what was inside it.The last person to come out was Cihang Jingzhai Saintess Lingmeng Fan.

The beautiful woman is dressed in white clothes like snow, looking haggard.

But it does not damage the holy temperament and beautiful appearance.

The abbots of Buddhist holy places such as Mount Jiuhua walked in front of the mountain, without too many greetings, and said directly: "Everything has been prepared."

Several people looked at each other, there was a strange flash in it, and everything was silent.

As early as when he left the Little Immortal Realm, Lingmeng Fan contacted Shimen through Cihang Jingzhai's special information channel.And convey the entrustment of Zen Master Wuming, as well as most of the things.

Of course, she didn't tell anyone about the fact that Zen Master Wuming bestowed on her the art of enshrining the gods.It wasn't that Lingmengfan wanted to steal the law of longevity, but that she was worried that if the news leaked out, it might cause unnecessary trouble.

It's just that Lingmengfan didn't expect that the matter of Zen Master Wuming would alarm so many people.

At the same time, she couldn't help but feel a little strange. Some of these people are thousands of miles away from here. How did they come here in such a short time?

Seeing Lingmengfan's doubts, the host of Jiuhuashan sighed with a complicated expression: "Zen Master Wuming sent someone to contact us in secret as early as last month. We just didn't expect him to, hey."

Lingmengfan finally understood when she heard this. Although Zen Master Wuming told her about the plan for a short time, the idea was not just born, but the corresponding plan and arrangement had already been made.

She thought of Zen Master Wuming who gave up everything for the sake of Buddhism and dedicated all the great spirit of sacrifice, and thought of her original greed, and she couldn't help feeling even more ashamed.

Lingmeng Fan silently recited the "Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra", calmed down a bit, and then slowly asked: "So, I think you Zen masters already have a plan, and I don't know what we should do next."

"Zen Master Wuming is the host of Daxiangguo. Naturally, we will go all the way to Kaifeng." The abbot of Wutai Mountain had a strange look in his eyes, and clasped his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name.The others didn't speak, but Qi Qi chanted the Buddha's name, obviously no objection to it.

Lingmengfan's eyes drooped slightly, and he soon understood the intentions of the Zen masters.

Kaifeng is the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is also the most prosperous place in the world. Since Zen Master Wuming intends to use this to break the shackles of Buddhism, it is natural to choose the most favorable place.

Unlike the three sects of Fuzhuan, Buddhism also needs to consider the Quanzhen sect's backlash, and if it continues to expand its influence, whether it will be curbed by the court and so on.

For Buddhism, they have no way to retreat, they can only choose to fight hard!
As the saying goes, a barefoot person is not afraid of wearing shoes, and now Fomen is the one who has nothing to lose.

And once Zen Master Wuming's plan is successful, only in Kaifeng, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, can the influence of Buddhism be expanded to the greatest extent, and at the same time, the matter will be conveyed to the current emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji, to strive for greater benefits for Buddhism.

After roughly guessing the plans of the Zen masters, Lingmengfan nodded and said nothing more.

It was also in this wonderful atmosphere that thousands of monks began to escort the corpse of Zen Master Wuming to Kaifeng.Along the way, monks continued to join, and monks left one after another. The number remained at around [-] monks.

And what they did was to appease the sensitive heart of the Song Dynasty court, telling them that the Buddhism had no malicious intentions, but simply escorted the eminent monk's body.

At the same time, before the body of Zen Master Wuming arrived in Kaifeng, a story about hundreds of eminent Buddhist monks jointly applying for the Water and Land Dharma Conference spread in Kaifeng.

Some people say that this Dharma conference is mainly to pay homage to Wuming Zen Master, while others say that Buddhism is trying to expand its influence in response to the increasingly powerful Taoism.

Anyway, there is a lot of talk, and no one can name it.

However, no matter how the folks spread it, Zhao Ji finally agreed to the joint application of Buddhist eminent monks.According to the application of both parties, the "Ancient God Luya Blessing Celebration" of the Three Sects of Fuzhuan will be held on January 13th and end on the Lantern Festival on January [-]th.

The Water and Land Ceremony of Buddhism is held on NO.30 of January and ends in early February.

It's just that Zhao Ji didn't know the secret plans and plans of Buddhism and Taoism, and he didn't know what kind of uproar would be caused in the world after these two grand gatherings.

Except for one person.

Zhang Shang looked at the latest information about Buddhism and Taoism in his hand, and said with a smile: "Jinling and Kaifeng, it seems that my son is going to help them."
