Chapter Fifty-Six: Passing Through Prison through the Stele Forest
In the West Heavenly Spirit Mountain, the Great Sage drove the clouds and turned over. Then he strode towards the Great Lei Yin Temple. Before, Rulai spread the news that the master contradicted the Buddha, according to the master's pious nature, how could he contradict the Buddha? There must be a ghost in this!
"Brother Monkey, Brother Monkey!" Bajie's voice came from behind, and Bajie fell into the clouds and shouted from behind. The Great Sage stopped and waited for Bajie to follow.
"I'm a nerd, why are you here? Didn't you stay behind in the Heavenly River of Heavenly Court?" the Great Sage asked with a grin.
Bajie was a little out of breath from climbing the steps because of his fat body, "What's the matter with Master?
"Hehe, if my grandson knew, why would he still come to this Western Heaven?"
At this time, Sha Wujing and Ao Lie also came to Lingshan. Seeing the Great Sage and the Eight Commandments, he said, "Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother!"
The Great Sage waved his hand, "Since everyone has arrived, I won't talk nonsense." Your coming to Lingshan is nothing more than the fact that Master was imprisoned, and since my senior brothers have arrived here, don't delay. ”
The Great Sage was the first to step on the steps in front of the Great Lei Yin Temple, Bajie got up on the ground, and Sha Wujing and Ao Lie followed closely behind.
The Great Sage stretched out his hand to push open the door of the main hall of the Great Leiyin Temple, then jumped in, looked at the Rulai on the main hall, and said dissatisfiedly, "Buddha! What did Master me do? You actually put him in prison for Siguo! If so, what should we do about the transmission of scriptures in the Tang Dynasty of the Eastern Soil!"
"Buddha, I don't know how to provoke the Buddha's anger, and I hope that the Buddha can put the master back when he sees that the Eastern Tang Dynasty still needs the master to continue to preach the scriptures and explain the Tao!" Bajie knelt on the ground and said reverently.
Sha Wujing and Ao Lie also spoke one after another, hoping to release Xuanzang from Siguo Prison.
"Good and good, the matter of learning from the scriptures has now been a complete success. On the side of the Eastern Tu Datang, there is no need for the Meritorious Buddha to go back. Rulai stared at the great sage in front of him and spoke.
"As for the fact that the Buddha imprisoned Xuanzang in Si and passed through prison, it was actually to protect him!"
"Protection, is it possible that the master is in any danger?" the Great Sage frowned slightly and asked.
"Good, good, good and good, don't you know the character of the meritorious Buddha? He will contradict this Buddha, do you believe it?" Rulai stared at the Great Sage Dao, "The matter of imprisoning Xuanzang in prison is the Buddha's recent deduction of heavenly opportunities and found that Xuanzang now has a catastrophe!"
"Siguo Prison is in my West Heaven Ling Mountain Sutra Tablet Forest, my Buddha's mind power blessing on it, Si Guo Prison can withstand the heavenly calamity without breaking! You also know that the relationship between my Western Heaven and Heavenly Court has been very sensitive recently, and this Buddha imprisoned Xuanzang in Siguo Prison to protect him!"
"Is this true? You don't want to fool my grandson, if you fool my grandson, I will definitely destroy your Leiyin Temple!" said the Great Sage with some disbelief.
"Huh. Rulai chuckled, "After all, the Buddha of merit is a person of my Buddha's sect, and this Buddha is not an unreasonable person, if he contradicts this Buddha, even if this Buddha is punished, he can't be so heavy, and I will be imprisoned for thinking about the meritorious people in the West!"
"Hehe, I'll just say, how could the master contradict the Buddha! There must be a hidden secret!" Bajie said with a smile when he heard that Xuanzang was imprisoned to protect him.
"Amitabha, Buddha, disciple courage, why did my master have to be transferred by the Buddha to Siguo Prison for protection. Isn't my Lingshan able to keep my master's safety even safe?" Ao Lie took a step forward and asked in a respectful voice.
"Don't leak it!" Rulai shook his head slightly, not intending to tell him.
"The disciple got it. Ao Lie saluted.
"If it's okay, you can go back! Rulai waved his hand and said.
"Disciple retire!" Bajie, Wujing, and Ao Lie bent down to salute, only the Great Sage flicked his sleeve robe with a big grin, and walked out of the Great Leiyin Temple.
Outside the Great Lei Yin Temple, the Great Sage stood at the foot of the steps and waited for a few people, and the three of Bajie came to the Great Sage. Bajie couldn't help but ask strangely, "I said Brother Monkey, don't you go back to your Huaguo Mountain, how many people will wait for me here?" Why don't you go to Tianhe with my old pig to sit on the river?"
"you!" the Great Sage rolled his eyes, stretched out his hand and scratched the hair on his body, and said, "I always feel that this matter is not so simple, I always feel that there is something that I can't say, what is the matter, to put the master in Siguo Prison to protect?
"Senior brother," Ao Lie stepped forward and explained to the Great Sage, "as far as I know, this place is under the Forest of Scripture Tablets, a small space world that has been expanded separately. I thought about the forest of scriptures and steles in prison, and blessed this world through the power of the Buddhas. I don't know if the destruction of the stele forest after the last time Lao Jun made trouble in Lingshan, will it affect the blessing of Si Guojiao. ”
"I see," the Great Sage nodded, "But my grandson really can't figure it out, what is it that makes Rulai have such a headache, Lingshan can't protect the master, and he has to lock the master in Siguo prison for protection!"
"The Buddha's Taoist Heavenly Secret must not be revealed, this matter seems to be very important, and it is inconvenient to say it directly!"
"Come on, since the master is in the Western Heavens, even if he is thinking about the prison, he will not snub the master. Since the purpose of keeping Master in prison is to protect him, and there is nothing to do with our apprentices, then my old grandson will leave first!"
"My old pig is also gone, I still need to sit in the town on the other side of Tianhe, Lao Sha, if you have time, go to Heaven for a walk, don't forget your roots if you enter the Buddhist Gate!" Bajie said to Wujing before leaving, Wujing didn't say anything, just nodded silently.
Ao Lie patted Wujing's shoulder, "Third Senior Brother, if you have time, you can come to my West Sea Dragon Palace as a guest!"
"Well, I want to go to your Dragon Palace today, is it okay?" said with a smile from Gojo Muna.
Ao Lie was stunned, it was originally a polite remark, but he didn't expect that his third senior brother of Mu Na would actually take it seriously, and then smiled, "Okay, senior brother, please!" After speaking, the two of them left the West Heavenly Spirit Mountain in both clouds.
After passing through the prison through the stele forest, Xuanzang sat cross-legged in it, meditating with his eyes closed. On the stone platform, Dapeng pulled the chain on his body, looked at Xuanzang and said, "I said monk, aren't you a great hero who learned scriptures? Why were you locked up in such a place?"
Xuanzang didn't make a sound and meditated quietly. Dapeng smiled, "What's the matter? Are you still holding a grudge against this king for wanting to eat you in Lion Camel Ridge?"
Xuanzang recited the Buddha's name lightly, and finally spoke, "Amitabha, why is the benefactor locked up in this Siguo prison again? As far as the poor monk knows, after entering the Siguo prison, it will be very difficult to get out again, either to be tempered to death by Sanskrit sound, or to wait for death here!"
The Roc tugged at the chain, and the pull made a rattling sound. Then sat down not far from Xuanzang and said, "This king is different from you, although this king doesn't know why you were punished for suffering in Siguo Prison." But you still have hope of going out, if this king doesn't bow his head, as you said, he will be rubbed away by this Sanskrit sound and tempered to death!"
"Amitabha, haven't you asked the donor how to call him?" Xuanzang asked.
"You monk is really a noble person who forgets things, when you learned the scriptures, you passed by the Lion Camel Ridge, the three kings who wanted to eat your meat to live forever and wanted to marry the peacock princess were the king, the golden-winged Dapeng!" Dapeng said.
"Amitabha, it turned out to be the crown of Dapeng, and he forgave the poor monks for being rude. Xuanzang said apologetically.
Hearing the two words under the crown, Dapeng laughed, "Monk, why do you call this king like this?"
"Amitabha, under the crown of Dapeng, you are the brother of my Buddhist guardian king Peacock Daming, and the poor monk is so respectful to you. Xuanzang explained.
"Hehe," Dapeng sneered, "It turns out that this king is stained with the light of my good sister, and this king is really majestic!"
"How do you say this?" Xuanzang heard Dapeng's voice and couldn't help asking.
"This king can have today's ending, all thanks to my good sister!" Dapeng raised the iron chain on his body to Xuanzang, "These four chains are made of Xuanzang, and they are blessed by your Buddhist scriptures to restrict this king's actions." The end of the chain is connected to the outer scripture forest, and there is your Buddha's mind power on the scripture tablet forest, suppressing the king from moving here. ”
"Amitabha, Dapeng has suffered! I don't know what sins will be suppressed by the Buddha here? What does this have to do with the Buddha's mother, the Peacock Daming King?" Xuanzang asked compassionately.
"If you want to recruit this king to serve his Buddhism, sit on the Dharma King. But who is this king! How can the heir of the phoenix, the golden-winged Dapeng, stoop to Rulai and work for him! My phoenix clan, in the primeval era, ruled the birds and ruled the sky, and even the Kunpeng clan had to bow to our clan! Our clan, the dragon clan, and the Qilin clan ruled the flood era! Let this king bow his head to your Buddhism, how is it possible!"
"My sister is willing to work for Buddhism, it is really a shame for my clan! This king is unwilling to bow his head, and if he comes, he can't kill this king. When he learned the scriptures, he forced the king to turn into his original form. Later, this king almost lifted his thunder sound treasure temple, my sister came forward, and threw this king into this prison, when will the heart no longer be so rebellious, when will the king let out again, this king really has a good sister!" Dapeng lowered his head and said coldly.
Suddenly, Dapeng stood up, looked up to the sky and roared, and then turned into a golden-winged Dapeng bird, about to hit the boundary wall of this prison. But the chains on his body glowed, and the light and shadow of four Buddhas appeared on the four chains, and the Buddha stretched out a hand and pressed it. The Sanskrit sound of the Buddhas was loud, and one after the other, forcibly suppressed the golden-winged Dapeng bird to the ground, no matter how he fluttered his wings, he just couldn't fly.
Cry - a Peng bird sounded, Dapeng flapped his wings and lifted his body, but the four big Buddhas chanted Sanskrit sounds, golden light, four big hands stretched out, and pressed the Dapeng bird to the ground again, unable to move.
The golden light of the Dapeng bird was restrained, and it changed back to its humanoid appearance, and the light and shadow of the four Buddhas on the four chains gradually dissipated, and the Sanskrit sound also returned to its normal state. Dapeng stretched out his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and sneered, "See, this is the means of the Buddha you respect every day." If this king wants to get out of this prison, he will either surrender, or he will be tempered into a dead person by the sound of these Buddhas and Sanskrit and be carried out!"
"Amitabha!" Xuanzang recited the Buddha's name, "They all say that my Buddha is compassionate, but the poor monk looks at this western heaven, where is there mercy at all? If there is a chance, the poor monk will definitely help you escape from this prison!"
