Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chang'an, Caotang Temple.

Since two years ago, Hou Qin sent troops to attack Houliang, the Buddhist master Kumarajiva, who was brought by former Qin general Lv Guang from Qiuci to Guzang City, also came to Chang’an, the capital of Post Qin. Yao Xing, who has always admired the name of Kumarajiva, specially built this cottage in the center of a thousand acres of bamboo forest, and built a cottage temple based on it to house this Buddhist master. In the past few years, Kumarajiva has been reciting sutras and worshiping the Buddha here. His disciples are 800 disciples, and Samana is 3000. Every day he has been doing the work of translating Buddhism scriptures from Sanskrit into Chinese. The master himself lives here day and night. In the Caolu, the ancient Buddha of the Green Lantern, with his great wisdom and painstaking efforts, poured into these classics, just to realize his Buddha's rebirth and the aspiration of the world.

The lamp of the Caolu was still shaking gently. An old monk who was thin and about 60 years old, but still able to see his delicate appearance, was closing his eyes slightly, and the Buddhist beads in his hand were gently twisting. He was chanting a word, but he was chanting the Dharma and Hua Sutra. Even though it was late at night, this living Buddha was still tirelessly praising the Buddha.

The door squeaked softly, and a layman in a monk's robe came in gently. Kumarajiva opened his eyes and turned to look at the visitor. He was about 40 years old, but he The charming woman with her hair draped in her hair is obviously a female layman with hair. Her skin is the same color as her hair, deep eyes, high nose, if she is twenty young Years old, I still don’t know how to turn the people upside down and fascinate all heroes.

This female layman is no one else, she is the master Kumarajiva’s cousin, both of whom are his wife Aye Jie Mo Tie. Kumarajiva is a member of the Western Regions of Kumo, whose father is the prime minister, Kumoyan, and her mother is Kucha. Wang sister elder wife. After his mother gave birth to Kumarajiva, because she was tired of court struggles and intrigues, she once enlightened and became a nun, and because Kumarajiva was extremely intelligent since childhood, she was judged by many high monks to be the reincarnation of the Buddha. So he took the young Kumarajiva around to worship the Buddha. Since then, there is one less noble in the world, but one more eminent monk handed down. There was even a Venerable Arhat who had such a prophecy: If Kumarajiva did not break the precept before the age of thirty-six, he would surely ascend to a Buddha and bring all living beings to the fore; otherwise, he would only be a master of Buddhism in the world.

This prophecy was accompanied by Kumarajiva's first half of his life. He has been persevering in his precepts, preaching and crossing people in the capital of Kucha until he was thirty-five years old when Lu Guang came!

Since the three links between the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Regions, and after the great chaos in the Central Plains at the end of the Han Dynasty, the Western Regions have no longer seen Han infantry for more than two hundred years. But this time, although the army of the Central Plains came, it was no longer the original Han family athletes, the former Qin general, the Dier Lu Guang, with the tiger and wolf division who swept the world by Qin, under the city of Qiuci, a battle was determined Tianshan, with a crowd of 70,000, broke the 700,000 coalition forces of the Western Regions, attacked the Kingdom of Qiuci, and captured the King of Qiuci.

And Kumarajiva became the biggest trophy of the Qin army, because the heavenly king Fu Jian, who is known for his benevolence, righteousness and respect for the virtuous, had given a death order before Lu Guang went out, and he must welcome Master Kumarajiva to the east. Tuhong Buddha, this is also the last request made by Fu Jian, a master of Eastern Tu Buddhism and a generation of famous monk, before his death.

It’s just that Fu Jian ultimately entrusted Lu Guang, who was not human, and looked respectful and steady under his hands. No one knew that his heart was like a tiger wolf. After breaking away from Fu Jian’s supervision and restraint, he became completely in the Western Regions. The warlord in troubled times, after the attack on Qiuci, not only beheaded the king, but also ransacked. If it weren’t for the last reverence for Fu Jian, I’m afraid that even Master Kumarajus would be killed by him. In this way, he also came up with a vicious plan, that is, when the master was thirty-six years old, he would find ways to break his abstinence and cut off his path to Buddhahood!

Whether it’s the torment of hunger, the temptation of wine and meat, whether it’s riding a galloping horse, or stepping on a ferocious bull, whether it’s stuck in a water prison or burnt by fire, Kumarajiva has withstood these tests. Until the last day, in his cell, he was pushed into a stunning girl who was naked and wrapped in a thin blanket.

This woman is the Aye Jie Mo Tie standing in front of him, his eldest uncle, the last daughter of King Kucha, Lu Guang angrily declared that if he does not become a husband and wife with his cousin tonight, then All the people in the city who survived the disaster will be slaughtered in front of the master. The last one to be killed is this peerless beauty. He wants the living Buddha to watch the people being slaughtered because of himself. Unwilling to break the precepts, with such internal torture, ascended to Buddhahood.

Finally, the desire to become a Buddha gave way to one’s conscience. That night, the world couldn’t double the Dharma, and the Tathagata would not fail the Qing. The prophecy of the golden Buddha’s birth was broken, and only one eminent monk who chanted the Buddha remained Kumarajiva, as well as the cousin who took care of the master’s daily life and accompanied him as a female layman.

Aye Jie Mo Di sighed softly: "Ashi (Kumaroshi is also called Shi), Your Majesty has a purpose. Tomorrow, I will set up the Caotang Temple, I am afraid it is for the envoy of the Jin country. Let’s rest early today."

Kumarajiva opened his eyes slowly, without looking at Aye Jie Mo Zhe, and murmured: "The wind is rising."

Aye Jie Mo Di's eyebrows frowned slightly, turned around, walked to the door, and suddenly sighed quietly: "Ashe, for so many years, am I not worthy of you to take a look?"

The Buddhist beads in Kumarajiva's hand stopped slightly ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ for an instant, and then turned as usual. He closed his eyes and chanted, as if he was still alone in this room.

The door closed gently, and a sigh came from the night like water outside, uttering all the lament in a woman’s heart, and a cold and hoarse voice came from a corner of the house: "She is still so beautiful ."

The prayer beads in Kumarajiva's hand finally stopped. He opened his eyes and watched sitting in front of him. His whole body was covered in a cloak. Behind a pair of bronze masks, the piercing shadow of his eyes flashed across his eyes. A trace of anger: "Old Na doesn't want to see the donor again in this life!"

The Cloaker smiled slightly, and the white hair on his forehead flicked slightly: "Master, you have committed an aversion."

Kumarajiva closed his eyes and kept repeating in his mouth: "Amitabha, sin, sin!"

In this way, he repeated it hundreds of times before opening his eyes, looking at the Dou Peng Ke who is still sitting opposite him, and sneered: "Lao Na has prayed countless times to the Buddha to break you into the eighteenth floor. Hell, you can never live beyond life, but seeing you live in the world like this, Lao Na feels that this is better."
