On the southern edge of Nishiniu Hoju, on the top of a large mountain called Fangcun Mountain, there is a temple called Nyolai Zen Temple. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
A young monk dressed in a robe inlaid with silk and gold threads sat quietly cross-legged on the Dharma platform in front of the monastery, holding a rosary in his left hand and a Buddhist sutra in his right hand, and narrating the Buddhist scriptures in his mouth:
"When contemplating the bodhisattva of self-reliance, when he walks in the deep prajnaparamita, he sees that the five aggregates are empty, and he overcomes all suffering. ”
"Relics, color is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, color is emptiness, emptiness is color, and it is the same when you want to know it. ”
……
Below him, there were nearly 10,000 devout devotees, including human races, demon races, and even some flying beasts that had not yet been transformed, all listening carefully to the subtleties of this Dharma.
The six of Sun Wukong quietly flew to the back of the crowd, their eyes fell on the young monk's body, and they suddenly felt a powerful aura lock on their area, aiming directly at Sun Wukong.
Seeing this, Sun Wukong was not afraid at all, held his heart, released his own breath, and blocked this powerful breath.
He knew that this was Jin Chanzi's test of himself, but it was also a process of understanding his strength. As a result, neither of them was disappointed, and the strong man would not be lonely wherever he went.
The confrontation of two powerful momentum swept the audience in an instant.
The sound of Buddha in the mouth of the golden cicada also stopped immediately, and the devout believers did not know why, looked around, and finally found the culprit who interrupted the master's lecture - Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong looked innocent, and was angrily looked at by these nearly 10,000 people, he really wanted to roar, not to do it himself. But looking at the appearance of these people, how could they give Sun Wukong a chance to explain, and they all wanted to eat Sun Wukong.
But fortunately, Jin Chanzi spoke again: "That's all for today's lecture, please go back, donors!"
With that, he turned around and walked down the altar and walked towards the temple.
The crowd did not cause a trace of chaos, and they all bowed to the departing golden cicada, "Congratulations to the master, thank you for the master's teachings, we should recite the Buddha and chant the scriptures every day, and accumulate good and virtuous." ”
Nearly 10,000 mortals and demons left together, and every look at the six people of Sun Wukong was full of unkindness, but at the gate of this Rulai Zen Temple, no one dared to be presumptuous, so they could only leave angrily.
In this regard, the six of Sun Wukong could only laugh, and they really couldn't say anything.
The believers left, and in a blink of an eye, there were only two monks guarding the gate of the temple and the six Monkey Kings.
Patting the dust on his body, Sun Wukong was the first to walk towards the main entrance of this Rulai Zen Temple, but was stopped by these two monks, "Amitabha!
Sun Wukong smiled slightly, "When you come to this Rulai Zen Temple, you naturally come to meet the Buddha!"
"The donor laughed, although our Rulai Zen Monastery is indeed the current Buddha Buddha, but the current Buddha Buddha has never appeared in this temple, therefore, donor, you can't see the Buddha here. A monk explained.
"Oh, is it? Then I want to meet the master who just explained the Buddhist scriptures, I don't know if it's convenient or not?" Sun Wukong immediately changed his words and wanted to meet Jin Chanzi.
After the two monks looked at each other, one of them immediately said, "Please also ask the donor to be here for a while, and I will go and tell the ancestor of the golden cicada to see if he can see the donor?"
"Well, thank you very much!" Sun Wukong nodded and said, when he first came to this Rulai Zen Temple, Nezha told him that there were five powerful breaths here, and asked him not to act rashly. Therefore, Sun Wukong did not think about forcibly breaking into this Rulai Zen Temple, but decided to wait until he saw the face of this golden cicada.
After a short time, the monk who went to report came back and said to Sun Wukong: "The Golden Cicada Master has agreed to let you in, and several donors are invited!"
Immediately, the monk took the six of Sun Wukong towards the temple and came to a secluded courtyard.
In this courtyard, there is a huge Bodhi tree, and the young monk who gave the sutra before sat cross-legged under this Bodhi tree with his eyes closed.
Feeling the breath of the six Monkey Kings, the golden cicada with his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes, looked at everyone and smiled slightly, pointed to the Bodhi tree above his head and said:
"Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a platform. The Buddha nature is always pure, where is the dust!"
When Sun Wukong heard this, he immediately opened his mouth and said: "The heart is a Bodhi tree, and it is a mirror platform." The mirror is pure, where to stir up dust!"
Hearing Sun Wukong's answer, Jin Chanzi nodded, seemed to be very satisfied, and continued: "Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a platform. There is nothing in the first place, where is the dust!"
Seeing that the golden cicada was still beating himself, Sun Wukong smiled slightly and continued to speak: "Bodhi only seeks from the heart, why not seek the mystery from the outside? I heard that according to this practice, the West is only in front of you!"
"Good, good, good!" Jin Chanzi excitedly said three "good" in a row, stood up from under the Bodhi tree, flashed in front of Sun Wukong, and grabbed Sun Wukong's hands, "Donor, is it good to be my apprentice?
"Eh!" Hearing this, Sun Wukong was stunned for a while, thinking that you haven't been reincarnated yet? Why do you want to accept me as an apprentice? The journey to the west in this life has not yet begun, you are excited and want to accept me as an apprentice, impossible, Lao Tzu already has two daughters-in-law, who wants to be a bald donkey?
made up his mind to refuse, Sun Wukong immediately smiled, "Master, I really don't have any hobby for Buddhism, so you don't have to be strong!"
"Really? You can't think about it anymore? Don't you think I'm not qualified as a master, if not, I can introduce you to the Buddha and let the Buddha accept you as a disciple. I think it's still possible. The golden cicada still didn't give up, looking at Sun Wukong was like seeing a golden pimple, and his eyes lit up.
However, Sun Wukong didn't let go of his mouth when he was killed, and the sentence "I really have no relationship with Buddhism, I won't become a disciple of Buddhism" immediately poured a basin of cold water on Jin Cicada's heart.
Seeing this, Jin Chanzi looked distressed, and shouted, "Buddhism has lost its genius, sad!
Sun Wukong made up his mind in his heart to pay attention to never enter the Buddhism, and became the apprentice of this golden cicada, if possible, he also wanted to pull this golden cicada to Huaguo Mountain to help him complete the great cause!
"Donor, you really don't think about it anymore!"
"Donor, think again?"
……
The golden cicada is simply endless, no matter how good Sun Wukong's temper is, he can't bear it, and finally roars angrily, "Are you endless?" I repeat, I will never become a monk!"
At this point, the golden cicada finally sighed helplessly, didn't say anything more, and walked out of the small courtyard in disappointment, not knowing where to go.
Seeing this, the six Monkey Kings did not follow.
"Senior brother, where are we going now? Do you want to follow this golden cicada and avenge the big brother of the Bull Demon King?"
Hearing this, Sun Wukong shook his head and looked at the Kui Wood Wolf on the side, "I think we should go back to Jilei Mountain first! I think even if a few of us really beat this golden cicada, Brother Niu will not be happy." Let's go back and see if Brother Zhao Ritian comes back!"
"Well, Brother Wukong is absolutely right, we will still accumulate Thunder Mountain. Kui Mu Wolf opened his mouth and said, although when he first came to this Rulai Zen Temple, he also came with the idea of avenging the Bull Demon King, but now that he has been subtly affected by the aura of this Buddha, he has calmed down a lot and is no longer so impulsive. And he also knows the temper of the Bull Demon King, even if he and others help him find the field, he will never say a word of thanks, and even scold. Therefore, it is better to wait for the future of the Bull Demon King to find it back and forth.
The decision was made, and no one objected, and the six of them immediately embarked on the return journey back to Jilei Mountain.
And after they left, the golden cicada returned to this courtyard at some point, sat under the Bodhi tree again, and said softly:
"Bodhi only seeks from the heart, why not seek the mystery from the outside? I heard that according to this practice, the West is only in front of you!"
"Sun Wukong, your westward journey is destined to be inescapable!"
