Chapter 1097 The Battle Begins (5 Updates)
1097
“When I came here ten years ago, I could only go into the mountains by car. At that time, it took me two days and two nights to drive because there were too many mountains here and they were too high. But now it’s much better. There are helicopters and you can fly directly there. The source of Buddha." Shi Kong said with a smile.
"Whose plane does this belong to?" Xu Taiping asked.
"It was bought by the four major Buddhist sects together, and is specially used to enter and exit the Buddha source." Shi Kong said.
"What is the source of Buddhism?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Buddha source, it's nothing." Shi Kong gave an answer that seemed meaningless to Xu Taiping.
Buddhism and the Holy See are the two largest religions in Xu Taiping's world.
The Fo Sect is much larger than the Chinese Martial Arts Association, and the reason why Shaolin Temple will join the Chinese Martial Arts Association is mainly because the Shaolin Temple is only a small part of the Fo Sect.
There are four Buddhist sects in the world, and the most powerful is the Buddhist sect of the Curry Country. The Buddhist sect of the Curry Country has been established as the state religion by the Curry Country. The number of believers and powerful people far exceeds the Shaolin Temple.
Shaolin Temple is second only to the Curry Kingdom Buddhist Sect, the third is the Foot Basin Kingdom Buddhist Sect, and the third is the Esoteric Buddhism.
Among the four major Buddhist sects, the Esoteric Buddhism is the most mysterious, because the disciples of the Esoteric Buddhism are all ascetics walking around the world. Their temples are scattered in the high mountains of Tibetan areas, and the environment is very harsh. In such a harsh environment, The disciples of the Buddhist sect who grew up under this sect are far more devoted to the Buddha than other Buddhist sects.
Xu Taiping didn’t know much about Buddhism. One reason was that the Shaolin Temple was not very powerful in China. Although there were many disciples, the Shaolin Temple was just a small part of the Chinese Martial Arts Association. The other reason was that The influence of Buddhism in the world is far less than that of the Holy See. It is meaningless to know too much about Buddhism.
The helicopter flew quickly.
There are snow-capped mountains at the feet of Xu Taiping. The average altitude of these snow-capped mountains is more than 4,000 meters, which is considered a restricted area for ordinary people.
It is hard to imagine that thousands of years ago, Buddha would be born in such a snow-capped mountain.
To be honest, Xu Taiping thought it was impossible. After all, no one would come to such a ghost place to realize enlightenment.
It took about an hour to fly.
The helicopter began to lower its altitude and flew directly to the snow-capped mountains.
After flying over the snowy mountains for about five minutes, a huge sea appeared in front of Xu Taiping.
The so-called Haizi is a mountain pool.
This sea is very beautiful, with rippling blue waves and bursts of blue light on the water.
Beside Haizi is a tree that Xu Taiping cannot name. The tree is not a towering tree. It is about three or four meters high. It has no branches or leaves. I think it is because of the climate. , so it cannot grow.
At this time, many people had gathered at the edge of the sea. These people included monks from the Curry Country wearing red and yellow monk robes, esoteric monks wearing gray and black monk robes, and monks from the Foot Basin Country wearing long white robes. .
There were not many monks from each branch, only two or three.
The helicopter landed on the edge of Haizi, causing the water surface of Haizi to ripple continuously.
Shi Kong and Xu Taiping got off the helicopter and walked towards the tree not far away.
The people who were originally scattered around Haizi saw Shi Kong and Xu Taiping appearing, and they all walked towards the tree together.
"Is this the Buddha's source?" Xu Taiping asked kindly.
"Well, the Buddha realized Buddhism here." Shi Kong explained with a smile.
"Isn't it under the Bodhi tree in Curry Country?" Xu Taiping asked.
"That's just a disciple of Buddha." Shi Kong said.
"Interesting." Xu Taiping smiled.
Shikong smiled, then looked at the monks who were walking in, and whispered to Xu Taiping, "The abbot told me before he left, let me tell you, no matter who you fight, never kill anyone, no matter if it is the Buddhist sect Although each branch of Buddhism has different cultivation methods and has been competing with each other for countless years, the four branches of Buddhism all have the same origin, so no matter what, remember not to kill anyone."
"Understood!" Xu Taiping nodded.
At this time, all the monks around came to the tree.
"Amitabha." The monk from the Foot Basin Kingdom was the first to greet Xu Taiping.
Xu Taiping, a fake monk, naturally followed Amitabha.
In fact, it is not right to say that Xu Taiping is a fake monk. After all, Xu Taiping has truly shaved his head. Whether it is for his unique knowledge or something else, after he has shaved his head, he is considered a monk.
The monk from the Curry Country was more arrogant. He stood aside and looked at Xu Taiping coldly without saying a word, while the monk from the Secret Buddhism Sect had no expression at all from beginning to end.
Looking at the deserted scene in front of him, Xu Taiping felt a little surprised. According to what he thought, the Boruo Heart Sutra was a very important thing in the Buddhist sect. If Wuchen hadn't been there, he wouldn't have asked him to rob the Boruo Heart Sutra on behalf of the Shaolin Temple. , to fight for such an important thing, in Xu Taiping's view, both sides would have to recruit hundreds of people, and then gather in some beautiful place with mountains and rivers, and then everyone would lay out their battle array, each sending out their masters, in front of the world's heroes. They met, and then competed, but it turned out that there was no one. There were only about ten people here. Xu Taiping was led by Shi Kong. Although he was a Shaolin disciple, he was definitely not a high-ranking person. On the other hand, the others were about the same. They were basically Two people came out of one Buddhist sect, and more people came out on the Curry Country side, three people came out, and the total number of people came out to nine.
Nine people, in such a deserted place, are engaged in a deserted battle for the Boruo Heart Sutra. Isn't this a little too serious about the Boruo Heart Sutra?
"Do you think there are too few people?" Shi Kong seemed to notice Xu Taiping's confusion and asked.
"Indeed, the formation is too small!" Xu Taiping said.
"Monks pay attention to not contending with the world. There is already a fight for the Boruo Heart Sutra. Naturally, it is not something that can be seen in the light. That's why we didn't mobilize troops or mobilize people." Shi Kong said.
"In that case, wouldn't it be good if everyone agreed that the Boruo Heart Sutra would be kept in turn?" Xu Taiping asked.
"I don't know either." Shi Kong shook his head and said, "Anyway, starting from many young years, every few years, there will be a competition for the Boruo Heart Sutra. The winner can keep the Boruo Heart Sutra until the next competition."
"What a special girl." Xu Taiping couldn't help but sigh, and then asked, "How will we fight now?"
"The abbot said that in a duel between two, the winner will fight again, and the one who wins in the end can get the Boruo Heart Sutra." Shi Kong said.
At this time, the monk from the Curry Country suddenly said, "Everyone, our Buddhist Sect in the Curry Country has been winning the Boruo Heart Sutra for hundreds of years. I think there is no need to fight today, because it is a waste of time. No matter how we fight, , none of you... can be my opponent."
Hearing the arrogant words of the monk from Curry Country, Xu Taiping didn't have much reaction. He secretly took a look at the people of the Secret Buddhism Sect and the Buddhist Sect of the Foot Basin Country, and found that the people of the Secret Buddhism Sect always had expressionless faces. The people of the Buddhist Sect of the Foot Basin Country always have a slight smile on their face.
This smile made people feel very comfortable, as if they were bathing in spring sunshine. However, for some reason, Xu Taiping felt that the smiling monk from the Foot Basin Country and the arrogant monk from the Curry Country would be difficult to deal with.
The monk from the Curry Country seemed a little annoyed when he saw that no one was bothering him. He frowned and said, "It seems that no one is willing to listen to my persuasion, so forget it. Since everyone is here, let's invite the contenders to come out."
Xu Taiping took a step forward. Then, among the two monks from the Foot Basin Country, the smiling monk who was only about 1.6 meters tall also took a step forward with a smile. As for the Esoteric Buddhism Sect, , then a dark-faced monk walked out.
"My dharma name is no prominence." The monk from Curry Country said with a smile, "no prominence, in our language, means the eternal sun."
"Dama." The monk who taught the secret to the Buddha said expressionlessly.
"Wucen." The monk from the Buddhist Sect of the Foot Basin Country said with a smile.
"Shi Huanchen." Xu Taiping said. Since he wanted to be the representative of Shaolin Temple, Xu Taiping naturally had to use his own name.
Xu Taiping spent a lot of time trying to think of this Buddhist name, and finally came up with such a domineering and revealing Buddhist name.
Of course, this is just Xu Taiping's own feeling.
After the four of them had introduced themselves to each other, the monk from Curry Country, as the winner of a battle, was qualified to choose his opponent.
Bu Prominence looked at the three people in front of him, then raised his finger and pointed at Wu Shen of the Buddhist Sect of the Foot Basin Country and said, "You, be my opponent."
"Okay." Wu Shen smiled and nodded.
Xu Taiping looked at Dama and said, "Then my opponent is you."
Dama looked at Xu Taiping without any expression.
"You're really indifferent." Xu Taiping thought to himself, and then said, "Who will fight first?"
"Of course we come first." Bu Prominence said. Of course, the reason why he chose to fight first was not because the Curry Country Buddha Sect was the winner of the battle. It was mainly because if he fought first, you would Have longer breaks.
A longer rest period means more recovery, and you will have more energy when the time comes for the decisive battle.
Since Bu Prominence chose to fight first, Xu Taiping and Dama could only retreat to the side.
Xu Taiping and Shi Kong sat on the ground.
The ground was full of gravel, which made it uncomfortable to sit on, but it was always comfortable to stand on.
Bu Xiang and Wu Shen stood opposite each other. Bu Xi's face had an arrogant look that Xu Taiping rarely saw on the faces of monks. Perhaps it was because of the professional relationship between monks in Curry Country, so The monks in the Curry Country are more secular. Whether it is speech or demeanor, they are no different from ordinary people. They don't have the feeling of a monk at all.
As Bu Prominence and Wu Shen bowed to each other, this very deserted battle for the Boruo Heart Sutra began.
At the moment, no one knows who will be the final winner.
