Chapter 215: Learning from the Scriptures
Taishang Laojun was just ridiculed by the Jade Emperor, and on the surface, the 'wind and clouds are light' have no effect at all, but in his heart he is holding back the evil fire in his stomach. I already hated these foreign monks to death. Seeing that they wanted to intercede for Sun Wukong, they couldn't help but snort coldly: "This is wrong! Sun Wukong was perverse, first stealing my 'Tushi Palace' elixir, and then stealing the heavenly peach, destroying the 'Peach Conference'. If such an evil act is not severely punished, how can the face of the heavenly court remain? ”
Seeing that Taishang Laojun was furious, Yuan Shi Tianjun and Lingbao Daojun couldn't retreat. Yuan Shi Tianjun also said in a yin and yang manner: "The 'tyrannical qi' mentioned by the five eminent monks should be the 'demonic aura' that is incompatible with heaven and earth produced by this demon monkey after its 'magical powers', right?" ”
Seeing that Venerable Wufang did not refute it, he continued: "Although this so-called 'tyrannical qi' is a little troublesome to eliminate, it is not impossible, Lao Jun's gossip furnace can completely eliminate it into an invisible ,......."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the Jade Emperor looking at him with slanted eyes, an expression of extreme distrust of the 'Bagua Furnace'. Yuan Shi Tianjun hurriedly lightly said in his voice: "Even if you don't use the 'gossip furnace', there is still a way." After killing this demon monkey, when the 'tyrannical qi' is dispersed, we can completely set up a 'trapped spirit array', trap this 'tyrannical qi' near the 'demon slaying platform', I still have a few newly drawn 'Immortal Exterminating Thunder Talismans' here, give him two, no matter what he does, it will be bombarded and disappear. ”
Lingbao Daojun immediately spoke: "What the Heavenly Monarch said is extremely true, besides, this demon monkey usually acts arrogantly and domineeringly, just let him go with your words of 'good thoughts'!" In the future, if he causes trouble for evil again, my heavenly court wants to arrest him, won't it take a lot of trouble? ”
Venerable Wufang stepped forward with a smile and gave a Buddhist salute to everyone: "Buddhism emphasizes the equality of all living beings, the living beings of heaven and earth, and all those who have good thoughts in their hearts have a Buddha heart, and they can all be touched by my Buddha." Countering violence with violence and destroying it is the way to go. Furthermore, when we say spare his life, we do not mean that we will not punish him for his mistakes. ”
The Jade Emperor heard this, and easily let Sun Wukong go, he was really unwilling. However, the 'gossip furnace' that Yuan Shi Tianjun said, the 'Immortal Extermination Thunder Talisman' or something, sounds quite powerful. However, this 'Daomen Three Palaces' has always been unreliable, saying that it is 'invincible in the world', and when it comes to critical moments, there will always be some mistakes, which is really unreassuring. If these Venerable Venerables of the Five Directions have a way, it is good to listen to one. So the Jade Emperor said: "What do the five Venerables think, please make it clear." ”
"His Royal Highness the Jade Emperor, on the border of the Tang Dynasty in the east of the country, there is a place called 'Two Realms Mountain', also known as 'Five Elements Mountain'. There is a cave in this mountain, which is extremely hidden. We can imprison this demon in this cave, and then set up a formation in the cave, and slowly extract the 'tyrannical qi' in this demon monkey's body, so that it can slowly disperse in the mountains. In this way, the 'tyrannical aura' can be eliminated, and it will not affect the surrounding heaven and earth aura. As for the punishment of the demon monkey! Looking at the amount of 'tyrannical qi' in this demon monkey's body, if you want to completely dissolve it, it will take hundreds of years to say the least. Keeping this demon monkey in a dark cave for hundreds of years can be regarded as a small punishment! ”
Lingbao Daojun pursed his lips disdainfully and said, "Lock him up for a few hundred years? With such a little demon cultivation, there is no elixir to continue his life, even if there is an excellent treasure land, practice diligently. It's a miracle to survive a hundred or two hundred years, but a few hundred years? ”
"You can rest assured that this demon monkey will definitely not be able to practice in that cave, and we will also restrict his movements. But we have our own way to ensure that his life will be free for 500 years. ”
When everyone in the Heavenly Court heard this, they couldn't help but feel a little chill on their backs, and secretly said in their hearts: "Among the five bald donkeys, they seem to be 'kind and kind', and their hearts are vicious enough. Keeping a person half-dead in a broken cave for 500 years can come up with this kind of idea, and people in Buddhism are really ......"
The Jade Emperor was very happy when he heard this, and one of his favorite points was that sending Sun Wukong to the Nether to deal with it, even if something went wrong, it would have no effect on Heavenly Court. So without waiting for others to say anything, he immediately agreed. Seeing that the Jade Emperor agreed, others had nothing to say.
Just when everyone thought that the matter was over, the Venerable of the Five Directions stepped forward with a smile and said to the Jade Emperor: "Your Royal Highness the Jade Emperor, this demon monkey has been subdued, and this crisis can be regarded as a solution." I don't know what the Jade Emperor promised us to go to the East to teach Buddhism ......? ”
When the Jade Emperor heard this, he frowned, and said in his heart: "These monks have a good memory!" After being busy for so long, you haven't forgotten it? ”
Although I let the people in Buddhism go to my own 'backyard' to wander around, I feel a little uncomfortable, but I have promised beforehand, and now I don't regret it, and I just want to say yes. was stopped by the Yuan Shi Tianjun.
The land of the Tang Dynasty in the east has always been a Taoist world. Although there are many Buddhism or other small religions, they can't become the climate, and they can't look to Taoism at all. These Taoist sects in the eastern soil are almost all branches of their 'Daomen Three Palaces'. Now listening to the words of these five great monks, this is preparing to go to their territory to 'get a piece of the pie'! Moreover, His Royal Highness the Jade Emperor still seems to have agreed to the posture. Is this worth it?
Yuan Shi Tianjun stepped forward first, and after saluting the Jade Emperor, he asked, "I don't know what the five eminent monks say, what do you mean by 'entering the Eastern Land to teach Buddhism'?" ”
The Jade Emperor also knew that the land of the Eastern Earth was nominally under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court. In fact, there is a large Taoist gate, and that place is the meat in the bowl of the 'Taoist Gate Three Palaces'. Now let the Buddha Gate enter and 'mix', how to explain a few words with the 'Three Palaces of the Daomen'. So the Jade Emperor explained the purpose of the Venerable Five Directions to come to Heaven again in front of everyone. I also emphasized that I promised these five people, as long as the five Venerables relieve the crisis for the heavenly court, I would consider agreeing to allow the Buddhism sect to send people to the east to preach and teach authentic Buddhism.
After hearing this, Taishang Laojun couldn't help but sneer and said to the Venerable Wufang: "Promote the authentic Dharma? I think you want to expel me from the Eastern Territory, right? ”
Venerable Wufang hurriedly explained: "Lao Jun has misunderstood! As we said before, just because the Dongtu Buddhism has not been in contact with my Tianzhu Buddha for a long time, its understanding of the Buddha's purpose and meaning of our Buddha has been misinterpreted. The people of our Buddha country entered the eastern land only to preach the scriptures and teachings, and had no other intentions. It will not conflict with the Taoist sect or other sects. ”
Lingbao Daojun said without yin or yang: "No conflict? If you want to promote Buddhism, Buddhism will inevitably recruit a wide range of disciples. Tell me how you can recruit a wide range of disciples without clashing with other sects. ”
Venerable Wufang smiled slightly, and did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "Dao Gate has been prevalent in the Eastern Territory for thousands of years, and its status is unbreakable. How could it be that my Buddhism could be shaken by accepting a few more disciples? ”
Lingbao Daojun was speechless for a while, and then Yuan Shi Tianjun said: "I, 'Daomen', is naturally not afraid of other sects accepting disciples. However, I think the spell used by the five Venerable Beings to subdue the 'Demon Monkey' just now should be an extremely clever 'Enchanting Heart Technique', right? ”
When Venerable Wufang heard this, he couldn't help but 'chuckle' in his heart, knowing that it was going to be bad. However, this spell has already been cast, and it is impossible to hide it, so he can only stubbornly say: "It's not a 'charm technique'. It's just a small spell that can stimulate good thoughts in people's hearts, so as to lead people to goodness. ”
Although Venerable Wufang denied that this was a 'charm technique', however. Everyone is not stupid, they have already seen it, even if this spell is not the 'Charm of the Heart', it is a similar spell.
Yuan Shi Tianjun snorted disdainfully, and did not 'compare the truth' with them in the name of the spell, but continued: "If all the masters in the Buddhist sect use this technique to 'educate' the world, I think it won't be long before the major sects in the land of the East Earth will 'close their doors', right?" ”
"Heavenly monarch is too worried, my Buddha is merciful, and he will educate the world with Buddhism, and he will not fool sentient beings with magic and small ways. Moreover, His Royal Highness the Jade Emperor had previously promised that as long as the five of us could help the Heavenly Court, we would subdue the 'Demon Monkey'. That is, I am allowed to enter the Eastern Land of Tianzhu Buddha, His Royal Highness the Jade Emperor, he will not play tricks on us, right? ”
When Venerable Wufang said this, he put the Jade Emperor in. The three of them really didn't know how to say it, so they couldn't say: "What the Jade Emperor said doesn't count, we have to listen to this matter!" ”
The three of them looked at each other, Taishang Laojun gritted his teeth, and said hatefully: "Okay, the 'Taoism' of the Eastern Soil is complicated, and my Taoist sect should also be rectified." Your Buddhism can send people to the East to promote Buddhism, and my Taoist sect will also send people to 'purge' the Taoism. At that time, the two factions of Taoism and Buddhism will have to be 'closer and closer'! ”
This is already a naked threat, which obviously means that as long as the people of the Tianzhu Buddha Kingdom enter the eastern land, the Daomen will send people to make trouble, and then it will depend on whose 'magic' is skillful. In the same way, not only did he turn his face with Buddhism, but he even slapped the Jade Emperor's 'face'.
The Jade Emperor's face was gloomy, and he shouted angrily: "Have you all made enough trouble? ”
The majesty of the Jade Emperor still has some effect, and seeing that the Jade Emperor is 'on fire', the two groups of people who were originally noisy all shut up.
The Jade Emperor saw that everyone was quiet, and then he slowed down his tone and said: "To educate the world, you should use the Heavenly Dao to reason and influence the common people as the right way." Relying on 'metathaumaturgical techniques' to trick and demagogue people's minds to establish sects, all of them are sideways. In the Later Han Dynasty, 'Zhang Jiao' used the magic methods in the 'Taiping Qing Lingshu' to confuse the world, and in a short period of time, he recruited hundreds of thousands of sect members, causing disaster to the world and slaughtering the common people, which was a heresy of a cult. The duty of my heavenly court is to eradicate the demon sect that has brought disaster to the world, and to subdue the vicissitudes of the righteous path in the world. ”
The righteous and awe-inspiring words stunned everyone, and even the three palace masters of the 'Daomen', who had always been high-profile, lost their 'temper'. If they really are labeled as a 'cult,' even if they are not afraid that someone will come to 'exterminate,' they will not have the face to see people.
The Jade Emperor saw that everyone was 'convinced', so he said: "There is nothing wrong with the people in the Buddhist sect wanting to promote the authentic Buddhism, and I allow the Tianzhu Buddha Kingdom to send people into the eastern land. ”
Taishang Laojun and the three of them wanted to say something, but when they saw the Jade Emperor's cold eyes, they still lowered their heads and endured it. The Venerable of the Five Directions smiled and was about to open his mouth to thank him.
The Jade Emperor waved his hand, stopped their words, and continued: "But the Eastern Soil Buddhism has also gone through thousands of years, and whether or not to accept the Buddhist teachings of the Tianzhu Buddha Kingdom depends on its own wishes, and cannot be forced. After you enter the Eastern Land, you are not allowed to preach forcibly. But you can find a suitable candidate in Dongtu, go to your Tianzhu Buddha country to seek authentic Buddhist scriptures, and return to Dongtu to enlighten yourself. That's how it was decided. With that, he flicked the sleeves of his robe, ignored the crowd, and turned away.
The Jade Emperor has already spoken, even if this matter is decided, everyone present will have nothing to say, and who will leave behind the Jade Emperor. However, the three palace masters of the three palaces of the Dao Gate and the Venerable of the Five Directions were obviously not very satisfied with this result. Both sides stood there, neither moving, staring at each other. Although he didn't say a word in his mouth, there was a sentence in his eyes: "Let's see, this matter is not over!" ”
***************************
has been writing for more than a year, and it can be regarded as an end. (Don't scold me!) Although the level is limited, I write quite seriously. At the beginning, I wanted to write about the nine palaces and eighteen gates of the heavenly court, and expand the dragon palace, the underworld, and the overseas immortal islands. I can't help it, I just 'shrink' when I write something. Thinking back to the previous chapters, there was actually a pit that was dug and forgot to fill it. I'm so sorry.
The level of writing of the novel is a little worse, but I have written more than 500,000 words anyway, looking at the poor click-through rate, I really want to cry without tears! Maybe when I'm a little more advanced, or a little thicker-skinned, I'll write the rest of the story. Let's stop here for now. Bye.
