Chapter 7 The Stone of the Relics
Just when the Jade Emperor couldn't be distracted because he was busy managing the Heavenly Court, the golden cicada had already gone all the way to the eastern land. He started from Tianzhu, stopped every inch of his passing, asked a party, and recorded it. After all, he is tasked with spying on the East Soil.
Along the way, the golden cicada transformed into the appearance of the people of Dongtu in order to hide his identity. To put it bluntly, in fact, this illusion technique is just a clever trick, just to confuse the other party's feelings. However, the mortal world confuses this transfiguration technique with the transfiguration technique.
Jin Chanzi was in Dongtu, and spent two Jiazi time to be familiar with the customs of Dongtu, and used Sanjiazi time to draw the terrain of rivers, seas, lakes, mountains and rivers in Dongtu, and used Wujiazi to mark the monster caves in various places in Dongtu on the map.
One day, Jin Chanzi inadvertently wandered to the place where Nuwa was refining stones to make up the sky, only to see that it was scorched black, not a single grass grows, and she didn't even have any anger. You can imagine how strong the original stone refining fire was, and the soil in this place is still extremely hot, and the whole area is as hot as a steamer. It's no wonder that no human beings, demons and monsters have mentioned this place in the Eastern Territory. The main reason is that this place is so hot that ordinary people can't get here at all, and they can't stand the temperature, and the demons and monsters don't want to mention Nuwa because they hate what Nuwa does, and they don't want to come to this kind of place. I remember that at the beginning, the jade stone pipa spirit, the nine-tailed fox spirit, and the nine-headed chicken pheasant spirit interfered with the government of the Shang Dynasty, but after the matter was completed, Nuwa reversed itself and beat the three of them to pieces. As a result, all the demons and monsters did not want to see Nuwa, and those immortals and cultivators were because they thought that only those ghostly places with clear mountains and beautiful women were suitable for cultivation, and places like this would affect their cultivation speed, and it would also pollute their bodies and minds, so no one came to this place. In this way, over time, no one will ever come to this place and know about this place. When it comes to this place, everyone says that there are many terrible things here, and there are many rumors, and no matter who they are, they all stay away from here. Now only a guy like Jin Chanzi who doesn't know anything and is running around in the east, west, north and south is likely to come here.
Seeing this miserable scene, the golden cicada felt compassion, used his mana, summoned a large group of dark clouds that covered the sky and the sun, and rained heavily, and it took three years and three months to retreat the residual heat of this place. But because the terrain here is extremely low and the area is huge, the rainwater collects here to form a vast ocean.
As the scorched earth washed to the surface of the sea is removed, the seabed begins to glow with a dazzling rainbow of colors, and the entire sea area emits a refreshing fragrance.
Jin Chanzi's curiosity drove him to use a spell to separate the sea to find out. In the center of the sea, there is a huge deep pit, and in the most inconspicuous corner of the pit there is a large multicolored stone full of pits, and the colorful light and fragrance just now appear because of this ugly stone.
The golden cicada circled around the ugly stone a few times, measured the comparison, and also made the ugly stone with his hands, and tried the stone with Buddhism, and finally dared to believe that this was the remnant of the colorful divine stone after Nuwa mended the sky. At the beginning, Nuwa may have had some defects in the quality and shape of this stone compared to other divine stones, but it was a pity to discard it, so she left it here and could use it again when needed one day. But who knew that after so many years, Nuwa, Fuxi, Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, Yandi Shennong and other saints had returned to heaven and earth, resulting in no one knowing that there was such a stone. In fact, no one cares about repairing the heavenly relics or other broken stones, the gods in the heavens are busy fighting for the position of dominating the heavenly realm, the mortal monarchs on the earth are also busy with their own grand hegemony, and the common people are also busy with the landing of three meals a day. Mortals don't have time to care about the broken stones, and the world of demons and monsters is even more cruel. Today it was annexed to someone else's cave, and tomorrow it was annexed by someone else. Even if any of the demons and monsters knew that there was such a hard piece of broken thing, but who still had the life to find it, it was only a little harder than ordinary stones, could it be that when the two sides were fighting, they wanted to use it to smash each other to death? And this broken stone was so heavy, and it took so much effort to lift it, then those wars would have been over a long time ago. So no one cares about this broken stone.
But Jin Chanzi was ordered by Rulai to go to Dongtu to inquire about intelligence, and he had to bring something back that could represent the civilization of Dongtu, and those books were a few words with a lot of connotations, which made people have a headache, and the paintings were all messy on paper, and the music scores required a lot of large and small musical instruments to play, and weapons or something were a lot of messy things put together as weapons...... I really don't know what the people of Dongtu think. And this stone was refined by Nuwa, the mother goddess of the Eastern Soil, if a way to deal with the Eastern Soil Race could be studied from above, it would be much easier for Buddhism to expand to the Eastern Soil.
The golden cicada cast a spell to shrink the stone to the size of an egg and put it in its sleeve. Then Jin Chanzi stayed in Dongtu for six more Jiazi, and he walked all over the Dongtu before returning to the Great Leiyin Temple.
When Jin Chanzi returned to the Great Lei Yin Temple, he found that everything in the temple had changed.
The Bodhisattva of the Ten Palaces of Yama under his command went to the Huangquan Yin Division in the eastern soil, and set up the six reincarnations on the side of the Huangquan Yin Division; in the Great Lei Yin Temple, there were many more Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, Vajra, Jiedi, and so on; there were also many Buddhists who were expelled from the sect or punished for contemplation; and there were also many strange-looking mounts and Dharma protectors...... Although there are many strange things, Jin Chanzi has been nurtured by Buddhism since she was a child, so she didn't make a fuss and accepted the other party's existence very easily.
When Jin Chanzi returned to the Great Lei Yin Temple, he was very excited, after all, this is the place where he grew up, and he has too many concerns. His masters, teachers, and brothers are all here, and everyone cares for him very much and raises him very hard, so in this mission to spy on Dongtu, in order to repay everyone's love for him and his upbringing, he does not dare to slack off for a moment, and runs around day and night. Even when I returned to the temple, I immediately went to Rulai to report the situation, and I didn't even rest. But when he came to Rulai's residence, the Dharma protector guarding the door told Jin Chanzi that Rulai was in retreat and practiced, and asked Jin Chanzi to go back and wait first, and when Rulai was out of the customs, he sent someone to inform him. Encountering this situation made the joy in Jin Chanzi's heart diminish a little, and he just waited to silently return to the room to meditate. In the midst of boredom, Jin Chanzi had to take out his previous homework to review, and it took a long time to calm down his heart.
Then every once in a while, I went to Rulai to ask if Rulai was out of the customs, but after asking several times with the same answer as before, Jin Chanzi's heart began to doubt. Because the time for this retreat and cultivation is really too long, if Rulai does not go out again, then the Great Leiyin Temple will be chaotic. And he feels that it is normal for him not to see Rulai once, but if he can't see it more times, there will be problems. If he hadn't gone to Dongtu before, Jin Chanzi would never have had this kind of thought. Because in the Great Lei Yin Temple, those battles were not as obvious as they were outside. Thinking of this, Jin Chanzi felt irritable in his heart, and he couldn't stay in the room, so he had to wander around.
The golden cicada has been wandering outside for so long, and after coming back, he was busy looking for Rulai, and he didn't have time to take a good look at everything in the temple, and now he just didn't know what to do, so he just went to the temple to walk around and see what has changed in the temple over the years.
Not far from the golden cicada walking out of the meditation room, he felt that there were many places in the temple with a strong demonic aura, evil aura, and demonic aura. When I first came back, although I felt a little, I just thought it was those demons and monsters who didn't have long eyes to make trouble, so I didn't pay attention to it. Now it seems that those demons and monsters are in the temple. He really didn't understand why the temple wanted so many of these things, and they didn't have Buddha nature and Buddha heart...... Thinking of this, Jin Chanzi felt a burst of unhappiness in his heart. Now the temple is really getting messy.
If it was before, Jin Chanzi would definitely persuade and argue, but after he went to Dongtu for a while, he already understood that many things could not be achieved by relying on righteousness and enthusiasm. We have to start from the benefits of benefits. Now the golden cicada has been unconsciously influenced by secular concepts.
......
After more than half a year, Rulai finally came out of the customs, and the next day he gave a lecture in the main hall. I saw that the flowers were falling wildly, the ground was surging with golden lotus, the birds were gathering their feathers all around, and the beasts were bowing their heads, and the disciples under the seat listened to the lecture of Rulai, like a spring breeze. This lecture washed Jin Cicada's heart again and cleaned the distracting thoughts in him.
After the lecture, Jin Chanzi couldn't wait to go up to find Nyolai, wanting to report what he saw and heard in Dongtuna to Nyolai immediately. But it was stopped by Rulai. Rulai took Jin Chanzi to his cultivation place and cast a soundproof spell before asking Jin Chanzi if he had anything to say. Jin Chanzi was very excited to tell Rulai what he had seen and heard in Dongtu. But after hearing this, he was very cold, and after he waited for Jin Chanzi to finish speaking, he only said a few thoughtful words and let Jin Chanzi go back to rest.
After Jin Chanzi saw that Rulai was very cold to him, he was not only very confused but also very disappointed, and when he came back to see his master's joy, he was also very depressed, so he had to go back to the room and sit still. He couldn't understand how the environment and people in the temple could be like this. He had no choice but to stare blankly at the Buddha seal on the wall. When he reached out to dial the rosary, he found that he forgot to give the mending stone to Rulai, and Rulai also forgot to ask Jin Cicada for it. When he was about to take it to Rulai, Jin Chanzi hesitated again, and after looking at the mending stone in his hand for a long time, he put the stone in his sleeve and crossed his legs to meditate and recite the scriptures......
