Chapter 374: New Mountain Gate (2)
Lu Yi has a bit of a bad taste.
He displayed a complete set of ceremonial equipment for the Evil Buddha's trip based on some of his memories.
A large sedan chair was carried by eighteen burly monks, with a golden umbrella above it.
Surrounding them were 360 burly monks, carrying gongs, drums, and specially made bone horns that were 20 to 30 feet long on their shoulders.
There were also 720 burly monks carrying incense burners, holding umbrellas, and holding small bells, small chimes, wooden fish, and golden bells.
These great monks formed an extremely magnificent ceremonial team, surrounding Lu Yi, and chanting a scripture with every step they took - but the order in which each of them spoke was extremely strange.
A monk recited the first word of the mantra, while the monk behind him kept his mouth tightly shut.
When the first monk was chanting the second word of the mantra, the monk behind him began to chant the first word.
The first monk began to chant the third word of the mantra, the monk behind him began to chant the second word, and the monk behind him began to chant the first word.
From beginning to end, the chanting of the great monks was like a tide, and it was like countless mosquitoes and flies flapping their wings, making a continuous "buzzing" sound.
If you listen carefully, you can't hear what these monks are chanting.
But when you are not paying attention, the continuous sound of chanting will surge into your mind, each word clear and distinct, like a drill drilling into your soul.
As a result, all the three souls and seven spirits are tormented and restless.
Ordinary people may find it okay, at most they may find it a bit noisy.
However, those who have cultivated, especially those who have stronger cultivation, will be more disturbed by the endless yet repeated chanting. Their magic power will be agitated, and eventually the blood and qi in their bodies will fluctuate, and their souls will be disordered, just like Lin Sheng on the low wall of the manor at this moment. If he is not careful, he will spit out a mouthful of blood with a "wow".
Lin Sheng had just spurted out blood, and the housekeepers, advisors, private army leaders, and thousands of private soldiers around him all vomited blood, and collapsed on the wall with chaotic blood circulation, unable to move.
"You, I... am innocent!" Lin Sheng roared at the top of his lungs.
He absolutely did not admit the accusations made against him by the leader of the Black Swallow Guard.
Especially, the behavior of Lu Yi made him look more like a "demon monk" who did all kinds of evil. Lin Sheng felt that he was too wronged.
Lu Yi smiled as he sat cross-legged on the big sedan chair. A strong wind blew past, rolling up the gauze curtains hanging around the sedan chair.
He whispered, "I know you are wronged, but you are Wu Yingcai's cheap relative, and you just happen to occupy the sect's station that I have my eyes on. If I don't punish you, who should I punish?"
Lin Sheng has a beautiful little daughter, and this little daughter married Wu Feitao, the chief steward of Canghai Tower’s headquarters in Xuanfeng City... as a concubine.
Therefore, Lin Sheng is Wu Feitao's cheap father-in-law and Wu Yingcai's cheap relative.
Of course, after all, she is just a concubine. The Lin family only has some strength in Yuzhou and cannot be ranked in the Xuanyan Immortal Dynasty, let alone have any status in front of the big figures in Canghai Tower.
The quality of this cheap father-in-law and this cheap relative is a bit hypocritical.
But no matter what, Lin Sheng and Wu Ying only have such a small relationship, so Lu Yi has no guilt at all for bullying him.
The Black Swallow Guards rushed down, and the manor's defense formation was shattered.
Tens of thousands of monks rushed in, Buddha's light shot up into the sky, and golden flames washed the ground.
The floating wealth in the manor was swept away, and all men, women, old and young were captured. The members of the Lin family were taken back to Xuanfeng City by the Black Swallow Guards for detention and discipline, and all the servants, family servants, private soldiers, maids, tenants, etc., were all taken over by Lu Yi with a wave of his hand, and their indentures became his subordinates.
For a long time afterwards, Lu Yi was like a hard-working little bee, buzzing around non-stop and very busy.
He wanted to build a grand mountain gate at the newly selected site.
However, the architecture of Buddhist temples all have certain styles and rules.
If we ask for help from Xuanzhen or Ling Wuyou and find an experienced, skilled and capable construction team to build it, it is actually possible...but preparing those building materials and raising various supplies is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also costly!
Outsiders are not very clear about how big Lu Yi's plate is now.
Only Lu Yi himself knew that his little Vajra Sumeru Mountain was stationed with tens of millions of Taoist soldiers and monks who were looted from the Yan Dynasty.
These people will have to be supported by Lu Yi in the future.
So, any savings you can get are good, right?
Besides, if you can stir up some trouble, then do it, right? Otherwise, why would the leader of Senluo Sect, Master Wanxiang, send Lu Yi to Yuanlingtian with all his hard work?
Therefore, Lu Yi did not hire a construction team or raise construction materials.
He brought a group of Black Swallow Guards and his own team of Taoist monks, and traveled painstakingly through the territories of Xuan Dynasty, Yan Dynasty and hundreds of vassal states, paying sincere visits to temples of various sizes.
"This palace is magnificent and solemn. I am delighted by the sight of it. I believe it is my destiny to be with you."
"Ah, this hall is quiet and elegant, peaceful and solemn. I feel at ease just by looking at it. I have a connection with it."
"Oh, this tower is soaring into the clouds, magnificent and majestic, quite like the majesty of Buddha. I look at it with respect, and of course I have a connection with you."
"Tsk, this mountain is elegant and graceful, full of Buddhist spirit, especially the green pines all over the mountain, just like my character. It is obvious that this mountain is destined to be with me."
"Ha, these little monks have bright and round heads, and they are smart and cute. They are obviously good embryos for my Buddhist sect, with the appearance of Arhats and heavenly kings. You baldy, dare you say that they have no fate with me?"
"Hey, Master Nun, these junior sisters are so beautiful and intelligent, they are clearly the reincarnations of the Bodhisattvas of our Buddhist sect. It is really unfair for them to end up in your shabby temple. I think they are also destined to be with me."
"What are you talking about? What are you talking about? They...they...they...have nothing to do with me?"
"Buddha has mercy on us, Amitabha, it is obvious that you are all evil heretics, each and every one of you has entered the devil's way... Your Majesties, Generals, Lords... Cut them off!"
There is a void teleportation array connecting Yan Dynasty, Xuan Dynasty and hundreds of vassal states.
Lu Yi was accompanied by Emperor Ling Wuyou himself, and was also accompanied by the Black Swallow Guards and the Xuan Dynasty's Imperial Guards.
In addition to Lu Yi's own cultivation level, he could not find any rivals in the territories of the former Yan Dynasty and Xuan Dynasty.
Moreover, there were no established Buddhist sects in the territories of Yan Dynasty and Xuan Dynasty. The largest temple had only a few thousand people, and the highest level of cultivation was only at the Golden Lotus Realm.
Faced with Lu Yu, the thousands of well-known temples and thousands of temples with some fame in the territories of Xuan Dynasty and Yan Dynasty were really powerless to resist.
Therefore, Lu Yi and his men, like a swarm of locusts passing through a land, looted more than 23,000 to 24,000 Buddhist buildings such as Buddhist temples, Buddhist halls, bell towers, drum towers, scripture libraries, and pagodas with a history of at least 10,000 years in more than three months. They also took away more than 100,000 young monks and nuns with excellent minds and qualifications.
Along with these Buddhist buildings and disciples, also swept away were 70 to 80,000 sacred mountains and fertile fields planted with all kinds of magical medicines and herbs and all kinds of rare spiritual materials.
Basically, more than 70% of the wealth accumulated by the Buddhist temples of the Yan Dynasty and the Xuan Dynasty after countless years of hard work was taken away by Lu Yi.
In other words, Lu Yi had the help of Emperor Ling Wuyou himself, and there were enough void teleportation arrays, and Lu Yi's cultivation was strong enough and his movements were quick enough.
Otherwise, how could Lu Yi be so efficient and take away so many treasures?
The sacred mountains and peaks were arranged according to the direction of some mysterious formation, enough materials for the formation were buried underground, and the halls, Buddhist halls, pagodas and scripture towers were arranged according to the designed direction.
He then connected the earth veins and activated the formation, and properly settled the five old men.
On this day, a 108-foot-tall golden pagoda was seen rising slowly into the sky, and finally landed heavily on the top of a mountain behind a giant, majestic temple that stretched for hundreds of miles.
On top of the golden pagoda, in the hollow gourd-shaped pagoda tip, a fist-sized ancient Buddha relic emits a brilliant light that can illuminate hundreds of miles during the day, making the earth and mountains look like they are made of gold, as if they are all shining with bright and holy light.
One hundred and eight hundred Taoist monks with superb cultivation sat in the air, chanting scriptures and mantras at the same time. The sound of their chanting was carried by the wind for thousands of miles, creating the majesty of a Buddhist holy land.
Hundreds of thousands of young monks and nuns were stationed in various halls and pavilions, chanting scriptures together with the Taoist monk who was sitting cross-legged in the air. Their cultivation was almost zero, but because they were all excellent talents carefully selected by Lu Yi, when they chanted, they also had a faint Buddha light lingering around them, giving people a sense of prosperity.
Five-colored streams of light shot up into the sky from all directions of the vast temple, quickly enveloping the entire temple.
For a moment, within the area covered by the light shield, the concentration of the spiritual energy and the rhyme of heaven and earth continued to increase layer by layer.
After just a quarter of an hour, waist-deep spiritual mist was lingering around the temple. The air was as thick as water, and when walking in the temple, every move could bring about a vortex of spiritual charm that was clearly visible to the naked eye.
With such a strong spiritual power and Taoist charm, even the most rude wild boar, as long as it is thrown into this temple, will be able to develop its own spiritual intelligence and become a pig demon with considerable Taoist skills within three to five years.
The main entrance of the temple is also extremely magnificent.
This huge mountain gate, which is completely inlaid with the seven treasures of Buddhism and is nine zhang high and eighteen zhang wide, was built when Lu Yi took the invitation from Princess Xuanzhen of Tianwu and personally visited a very famous ancient temple in the Xuanyan Immortal Dynasty to beg for alms.
This mountain gate is magnificent, and every inch of it is soaked in the glory of time and the power of Buddhism.
Not to mention how practically useful this mountain gate is, at least it looks good, and it's very expensive!
Above the mountain gate is a plaque written by Cang Jiuer, the Eastern Palace Empress of the Xuanyan Immortal Dynasty, with her own name inscribed on it and her own seal of the Eastern Palace Empress - "Dajinshan Temple"!
Next to the plaque of Dajinshan Temple, there are dozens of plaques also written by Cang Jiuer himself.
Inscribed on them are Buddhist terms such as "Pure Buddha Land" and "Unrivaled Dharma". Each plaque is extremely majestic and grand, and the cost of making each plaque is extremely "expensive"!
Lu Yi stood in front of the door and pushed open the huge mountain gate himself.
"Buddha has mercy on us. Today, our Great Golden Mountain Temple opens its gates to welcome guests from all over the world."
"I am the abbot of Dajinshan Temple. Once again, I would like to inform all pilgrims in the world that the monks of this temple have great compassion and wish that the people of the world will be free from disease and disaster...Except for the matter of 'giving birth to a child', the monks of this temple will respond to any request!"
