Longhua Temple has gone through thousands of years in the long river of time. The whole temple is full of vicissitudes of life, which makes people sigh and admire.
Entering Longhua Temple, there is a square paved with blue bricks. The square is very large and can accommodate at least two or three hundred people without any problem.
In front of the square is a pond for releasing animals into the wild. A white jade arch bridge is built over the pond, leading directly to the main hall in front where wisps of smoke are emitted!
Under the gray sky, the dim lights in the main hall reflected the majestic image of the Buddha. After arriving at the square, everyone stopped.
"Dear donors, welcome to Longhua Temple!"
An old voice was heard, and everyone saw a dozen monks in cassocks slowly walking out of the main hall, followed by many young novices.
The leader was none other than the abbot of Longhua Temple, Abbot Jide.
"My fellow donors, the Sixth Patriarch's relics are the most precious treasure of our Buddhist sect. Although you may covet them, in our Buddhist sect, everything depends on fate."
"If fate doesn't allow it, I hope you all won't force it. The Buddhist sect won't allow you to take action either. I hope you all will keep this in mind."
Abbot Jide clasped his hands together again and spoke softly, and everyone nodded in agreement.
"Everyone!"
"There are ninety-nine and eighty-one seats in this square. Please take your seats according to the markings on the ground and wait for the Sixth Patriarch's relics to descend."
Abbot Jide stretched out his hand and spoke softly. Everyone was stunned and looked down at the ground where they were. Sure enough, there were small cubes made of red cinnabar.
However, it was a little difficult to see in the gloomy sky, and everyone was not idle. They found their own seats and sat down one by one.
But when everyone sat down, Abbot Ji De and others were stunned.
"Why are there three people missing?"
Abbot Ji De was full of confusion. There were eighty-one people, but three were missing. How could this be possible? The relics of the Sixth Patriarch would be revealed soon, and there would probably be trouble.
"That's right!"
"Tian Zhen, go ahead and take a seat."
In the crowd, Master Kurong with a long white beard chanted the Buddha's name loudly and spoke softly to the monk Tianzhen beside him. The monk was startled and ran over happily.
"Jinghui, you go too."
"Du'e is going too."
Then, two more young monks ran out from the crowd and sat in the three seats that originally belonged to Taoist Qingyun.
"Dear donors!"
"Please keep the Buddha in your heart, discard all distracting thoughts, and wait for the Sixth Patriarch's relics to be revealed."
Abbot Ji De took a deep breath and spoke in a serious tone.
Everyone was shocked, and then they had a little more respect for this thousand-year-old temple.
"My fellow brothers, we should wait in front of the Great Hall, waiting for the Sixth Patriarch's relics to appear, and see if we can receive the Sixth Patriarch's Buddhist teachings."
Abbot Ji De spoke to the people around him, and the other monks nodded, then sat cross-legged on the ground, chanting the Buddha's name.
In the blink of an eye, all the monks were sitting cross-legged on the ground in front of the main hall, chanting Buddhist scriptures in low voices.
It's getting later and later.
Everyone was sitting cross-legged on the ground in silence. The entire Longhua Temple was silent. The only sound that could be heard was the whispering of Buddhist scriptures coming from the main hall.
At this moment, this thousand-year-old temple seemed to be surrounded by Buddhist scriptures, full of solemnity and majesty.
The sky gradually darkened, and a bright moon hung high in the starry sky.
Suddenly, Jiangshan's body shook and he opened his eyes. He looked at the bright moon and saw that a piece of it was missing. The lunar eclipse had begun!
The moment the Dog-Eating Moon began, Jiangshan clearly felt that the atmosphere in the temple became more and more strange, as if even the air was no longer circulating.
The entire temple was as silent as death, but the whispered chanting of Buddhist scriptures became clearer and clearer, as if someone was chanting beside their ears.
boom!
In an instant, Jiangshan felt as if he had entered a Buddhist world. Standing around him were monks with solemn faces, chanting Buddhist scriptures.
At this moment, Jiangshan even felt that he was almost integrated into this world, and his heart was even shaken.
Buzz buzz buzz.
In the void, the bright moon hanging high in the sky gradually disappeared. After more than ten minutes, the bright moon became completely dark.
boom!
At this moment, the bright moon suddenly turned a strange red, and a blood moon appeared in the sky!
Bang...bang...bang...
It seemed like a bell was ringing. Jiangshan clearly felt it and his consciousness sank, but he woke up immediately. The moment he opened his eyes, he was stunned.
This thousand-year-old temple is now completely shrouded in red light, which is very strange. Even the statue of Buddha in the main hall has turned a little red.
Weird and mysterious!
"What's going on? What's going on?"
"Why is it all red?"
"Oh my god, look! It's a blood moon in the sky! This is an ominous sign. Legend has it that when a blood moon appears in the sky, disaster is sure to come."
"Damn, why do I feel a little creepy?"
Not only Jiangshan woke up, but many other powerful people also woke up one by one.
However, these people woke up, but the monks sitting cross-legged in front of the main hall were still chanting Buddhist scriptures with their eyes closed.
This scene seems to be a very obvious contrast.
"Look, what is that!"
At this moment, a strong man suddenly exclaimed, and everyone hurriedly looked towards the main hall. They saw in the main hall a relic the size of a piece of wood, emitting brilliant golden light, slowly floating out from the hall.
"The Sixth Patriarch's relics, the Sixth Patriarch's relics have appeared!"
"This relic of the Sixth Patriarch is mine!"
"rush!"
In an instant, the eyes of many powerful men who were originally standing in the square turned red, and they rushed madly towards the slowly floating relics of the Sixth Patriarch.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
The figure broke through the air, as fast as thunder.
But Jiangshan did not move. He felt something was wrong and smelled a very unique scent from the relics of the Sixth Patriarch.
boom!
Just when everyone was about to rush to the Sixth Patriarch's relics, a terrifying and dazzling golden light swept out madly along the Sixth Patriarch's relics.
Puff puff puff!
The golden light hit the chests of these guys, and actually blew them away, and strangely fell to the place where they had moved before.
"I knew it!"
Jiangshan took a deep breath and murmured in a serious tone.
"Damn it, what's going on!"
"How could the Sixth Patriarch's relics suddenly burst out with such terrifying power?"
“I don’t know!”
Everyone was dumbfounded, but when they struggled to get up, the relic suddenly flashed with golden light strangely, and a human figure condensed in the void!
