Chapter 9: The Venerable Celestial Master

After hearing this, Jizo immediately said, "It seems that my uncle is still a person of great affection. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

After a slight pause, he continued: "Old man, let's go to the Vulture Cave, no matter if I can help this senior uncle or not, it will be better to finish your wish as soon as possible." ”

Master Tianlun nodded slightly, and immediately turned around and walked out of the meditation room, leading the way in front of him.

Located on the mountain behind the Fire Temple, the Vulture Cave was originally a secret cave for the retreat of previous monks, and later used as a relic for the monks of the past generations. When the Celestial Master happened, the previous abbot, Master Dogen, sealed him in the cave, and the cave became a forbidden place forbidden by the Temple of Fire. In Pinsuri, no one is allowed to approach this cave except for the abbot and the three deacons and elders.

After about two hours, the Heavenly Wheel Master and Jizo arrived in front of the Vulture Cave.

The entrance to the Vulture Cave is not large, about five meters high and two meters wide. At the entrance of the cave, there is a diagonal downward corridor with electric lights on both sides of the tunnel, so it does not appear dark. The two walked down the road for about five minutes before they came to a steel gate. In the center of this steel gate, there is a large seal, and around the seal, there is a circle of cross-vertical and horizontal seals, which is the Vajra seal that the Temple of Fire relies on to become famous all over the world.

This is a sealing technique that is stronger than the Iron Wall Seal, and even if it has shadow-level strength, it cannot be forcibly broken.

As soon as the two of them came to the door, an old voice came from inside the door: "Senior brother, you are here." ”

After a slight pause, the voice said in surprise: "Huh! You even brought a little friend with you. ”

There is no doubt that the owner of this voice is the Venerable Tianxuan.

Hearing the words of the Venerable Celestial Venerable, the Venerable Celestial Wheel was nothing, but Jizo felt quite amazed, amazed by the Venerable Venerable Celestial Xuan's perceptual ability. You must know that although there is only one door outside the inner door, there is also a vajra seal attached to the door, and in such a situation, the Heavenly Xuan Venerable can still sense the situation outside the door, and this perception ability is definitely quite amazing.

Just when Jizo Wu was amazed, the Heavenly Wheel Master on the side spoke: "Senior brother, when the master passed away twenty years ago, he said that after you have been imprisoned for thirty-three years, someone will come to cross you. ”

Inside the door, the Venerable Master Tianxuan smiled bitterly and said, "Senior brother, you don't have to waste your heart anymore, I know my own affairs, if I can't get her answer in this life, I'm afraid that even if the Buddha comes in person, he may not be able to cross me to the other side." ”

Master Tianlun said: "Senior brother, whether it is successful or not, let's not talk about it for the time being. The Buddha left by the master once said that after thirty-three years, no matter what the result is, you will be released. ”

The Venerable Tianxuan said indifferently, "What about exiting the customs?" What if you don't go out of the customs? The past is gone, the people of the past are no more, the demons in the heart are difficult to get rid of, after all, Bodhi cannot be proven, and in the end it is not in vain the hard work of the master and the senior brother. ”

Hearing this, Master Tianlun couldn't help but sigh slightly, and then said, "In any case, let's try it first." ”

As soon as he spoke, he saw his palms closed, quickly formed a few seals, and then covered the seal of the steel gate with one palm.

"Solution!"

In the next moment, the mysterious sealing techniques dissipated, and the seal on the gate also fell off. Immediately afterwards, I saw that the small window in the lower right corner of the steel gate for food suddenly closed, and the whole door shook twice, and then slowly parted to both sides.

As soon as the door opened a small crack, Jizo saw through the crack what was going on inside.

But the world inside the gate suddenly opened up, and it was a huge hemispherical cavern, covering an area about the size of a football field. The four walls of the cave are shining with golden Buddha light, which is the relics of the monks of the Fire Temple. In the center of the cave, there sat an old man with white hair and a withered appearance, who was none other than the Venerable Master Tianxuan.

As soon as he saw the appearance of the Venerable Master Tianxuan, Master Tianlun was immediately shocked: "Senior brother, you ...... it."

The Venerable Master looked up at the door and said with a smile, "What? Did my appearance scare my brother? Hahaha, I'm only fifty-one years old, but I'm as old as an old ghost in my hundreds, even I can't believe it. ”

Hearing this again, Master Tianlun sighed slightly: "Alas, junior brother, why are you so suffering? ”

As he spoke, the steel gate was fully opened, and the Heavenly Wheel Master and Jizo entered the cave one after the other.

Coming closer, the Heavenly Wheel Master first introduced: "Senior brother, this little guy is my disciple, an orphan I picked up when I was traveling, I named him Qiu Na Bao Shi Xie, five years ago he worshiped under my door, gave the Dharma name Jizo, according to the Buddha left by the master, he is likely to be the one who crossed you." ”

As soon as he finished his introduction, Jizo took two steps forward, bowed and said, "Little monk Jizo, meet the big monk." ”

The Venerable Master looked Jizo up and down, then turned to look at the Heavenly Wheel Master and said, "Ask for that ten rests?" Jizo? It seems that you have high expectations for this little guy, senior brother. ”

Master Tianlun said: "Senior brother, you don't know, although this little guy is young, but he is the person favored by the Buddha, four years ago at the Buddha debate meeting, he said that this temple defeated the national temples of the four great countries. After that, he practiced quietly and diligently, and even being a brother was far inferior. If we talk about the depth of the Dharma, unless the Buddha is alive, I am afraid that no one in this world can compare with him. ”

"Oh!"

Hearing this, the Venerable Tianxuan's pupils suddenly shrank, and he couldn't help but glance at Jizo again.

Oh, I heard him ask: "Little guy, senior brother said that you have profound Buddhism and are unique in the world, this must be true, I don't know what you have to teach me?" ”

Jizo said: "The little monk is just a monk, just because he heard the master talk about the big monk, so he came to visit together, how dare he show off in front of the big monk?" Speaking of this, he suddenly changed his words again, and continued: "However, the little monk has heard that there is a saying in the medical Tao that 'prescribes the right medicine', and this statement is also used in Buddhism. ”

"Hey! It's kind of interesting! Hearing Jizo's words, the Venerable Master Tianxuan was stunned at first, and then said, "You little guy has a very good appetite for me, so I'll tell you about it." ”

As soon as the words fell, the Venerable Master Tianxuan immediately looked solemn and raised his eyes to look at the dome of the cave, but he saw that his eyes were bright and bright, and he seemed to be flashing with memories of the past. Obviously, he was brewing.

After pondering for a while, and coming back to his senses slightly, the Venerable Tianxuan began to narrate.

Thirty-three years ago, the Venerable Master was eighteen years old, just in the prime of his youth. At that time, he was already a world-famous generation of high monks, and he was even designated as the heir of the Fire Temple by Master Dogen, which can be described as high-spirited. At that time, just after the end of the troubled times, the Konoha Hidden Village had just been established, and the Venerable Master Tianxuan was determined to spread the Buddha's way, hoping to resolve the troubles left by the troubled times with great compassion.
