Chapter 11: Jizo Temple
Soon after Zhikong left the room, he invited a middle-aged monk who was thin and thin, and as soon as the monk entered the door, he shouted, "Who has been hit by the outer bondage seal, let the poor monk take a look." Fang Zhong stepped forward and said: "It was the master of the Zheng Sect who was hit by a palm print, and he was in great pain, and he asked the master to be kind to rescue him." The jīng thin monk said, "Who are you?" Fang Zhong said: "Fang Zhong, a disciple of the Lower Jade Void Palace, I don't know what the master is called?" The monk said, "You are the disciple of the Jade Void Palace that Senior Brother Zhikong said?" A little younger than I thought. The poor monk is called Zhijing, and it is one of the 36 Pilu in the Pilu Temple. Fang Zhong didn't know what the Pilu Temple did, since this jīng thin monk deliberately wanted to say it in front of him, it was obviously a very glorious thing, and said respectfully: "It turned out to be Master Zhijing, the younger generation is shallow, and it is not worth mentioning in the first place, but the master of the Zheng Sect is the head of Baishi Mountain, and the younger generation is with him." ”
That Zhijing glanced at Zheng Yuanhong and sneered: "It must be that he has evil thoughts, so he was tortured by the outer binding, since you ask to come to my Ciyun Temple, knowing that my Buddha has great powers, he will definitely change his past wrongs, and the poor monk will give you a solution." The monk was about to pull a posture, Fang Zhong interjected: "Master and slow, although the master of the Zheng Sect is not a member of the Buddhist Sect, he is not an evil demon, I am afraid that it is not the work of the external bondage, and if he treats it rashly, will it be harmful." Zhijing said proudly: "No matter what the means, as long as you enter my Ciyun Temple, I am afraid that there will be something that cannot be saved, although the donor can rest assured." Zhikong on the side also said: "Is Monk Fang afraid that the Zhi Fist Seal will hurt the Zheng Sect Master?" Hehe, although my Buddha mudra is wonderful, it can fix the body and solve difficulties and break obstacles, but it can't kill anyone, even if it hits one or two mudras, there is no worry about life. Fang Zhong said: "Then the junior will rest assured." Zhijing put aside Fang Zhong, stood in front of Zheng Yuanhong who was lying on the seat, raised his two hands, one hand on his chest and the other on his abdomen, both palms were flat, and then his eyes were closed, he held his breath in a deep voice, and the palms on his chest suddenly bent his two fingers, pressed forward like a sword finger, and shouted: "Cracked!" A handprint was made in the air and printed on Zheng Yuanhong's top door. Zheng Yuanhong's body moved, his godless eyes rolled, and then he lowered his head, and he didn't realize it. []
That Zhijing was stunned, and then he held his breath in a deep voice, and made a Zhiquan seal, but Zheng Yuanhong was still indifferent. Zhijing said a big thing just now, but at this moment, the Zhi fist seal was invalid, and suddenly sweat broke out on his forehead, and he couldn't hang it anymore. Zhikong and Zhiming whispered: "Senior brother, could it be that it is not an outer bondage seal?" Na Zhijing said angrily: "You said that he was hit by the outer bondage, but not now, isn't this a?" Zhikong and Zhiming were so ashamed that they lowered their heads and said nothing. Na Zhijing coughed, embarrassed by the other party Zhong said: "It turned out that the two junior brothers made a mistake, the master of the Zheng Sect is not the outer seal, and there are only a few kinds of mudras passed on by the Buddha. Fang Zhong didn't have much confidence in this thin monk anymore, so he just nodded and said, "Thank you Master for your help." ”
Zhijing has been gone for a long time, but he has brought a lot of people, and there are twenty or thirty monks of different heights, short, fat and thin who rumbled into this room, and even the door was full. Zhijing said loudly: "This master of the Zheng Sect has won a palm print of the Buddhist family, since the senior brothers and disciples of the Pilu Hall have studied various palm prints, there is someone who can interpret this palm print." One of the monks inside said: "Senior Brother Zhijing, don't you boast that you have learned almost all of the Buddha's handprints, why do you still want us to solve it, you alone is enough." Zhijing's face turned red, and he defended: "It's almost all learned, and not all of them have been learned, and there are some who miss one or two unfamiliar ones." Since Senior Brother Zhizhen is leaping and trying, why don't you come out and show your hands. The monk named Zhizhen jumped out and said, "Okay, if I unravel the palm seal of this Zheng Sect Master, then thirty-six Piluli, my ranking will overtake you." Na Zhizhen was a little younger, with a square head and big ears and was very tough, and came to Zheng Yuanhong. Fang Zhong was worried in his heart, feeling that this group of monks was like curing diseases, more like practicing exercises, but the dead horse was regarded as a live horse doctor, so he gave it a try, and said: "There is Master Lao Zhizhen." Monk Zhizhen said: "It's okay. It is also like Zhijing's deep voice and breathlessness, one palm pointing to the sky, one pointing to the ground, contemplating for a moment, lifting the breath, both palms flying, five fingers changing, six palm prints in a row, each palm print will take a step back, to the sixth palm print has been far away from Zheng Yuanhong, but the palm print that flew out has never dispersed, the last palm print finished before shouting: "Six King Kong, do not move the Ming King, such as the heart of heaven!" All the palm prints took on the top of Zheng Yuanhong's head in the shape of a lotus flower, and it slowly disappeared after Zhizhen drank it. Several monks around applauded in unison, and one said: "In an instant, the Inner Binding Seal, the Inner Lion Seal, the Immovable Root Seal, the Donkey Kong Seal, the Rì Wheel Seal, and the Treasure Bottle Seal were punched, and it was really a good means." Even Fang Zhong was taken aback, this Zhizhen waved his hand, and the real qi changed between his waves, and the use of it was extremely sticky, don't look at it as just a few handprints, but he could still conjure up tricks, especially superimposing that handprint into a lotus flower, it was even more amazing. Zhijing was surprised: "When did you practice the sixth palm print?" Na Zhizhen smiled: "It was only refined last month, and I haven't told you all this time." How, is it better than you? Zhijing said: "The Buddha's handprint is used to restrain evil demons, and it may not be useful for you to engage in these mysteries, and see if the master of the Zheng Sect is relieved?" A group of monks stared at Zheng Yuanhong, Fang Zhong shook lightly: "Master Zheng, Master Zheng, ......Master Zheng" Zheng Yuanhong was confused as if he was drunk, his mouth was phlegm, he couldn't understand Fang Zhong's words at all, and it seemed to be even more strict.
Zhijing said: "It's useless, it's useless, I know that Zhizhen's handprint is useless, and it's a shelf." And that brother is willing to give it a try? "Although there are still a few monks who are more capable than Zhizhen, they are reluctant to make a move, just because Zhizhen's handprints are no different at all, since they can't solve Zheng Yuanhong, it is useless to go up by themselves. Another monk came up with an idea and said: "I can't cure the Pilu Temple, why don't I let the Shakya Hall try it, they have a lot of palm boxing skills, maybe the master of the Zheng Sect has some weird secret injury, we can't find out, the senior brother of the Shakya Hall may be able to." Zhijing shook his head and said: "You are talking nonsense, if I want me to say that I will ask the senior brother in the Heavenly King Hall to try it, maybe the master of the Zheng Sect is a magic weapon, they dance the sword and refine the magic weapon, maybe they can cure it." Besides, if they can really govern, wouldn't they say that the people of my Pilu Temple are useless, and then if they want to enter the Hall of Elders and the Pavilion of the Scriptures, they will not have our share. "A group of monks were noisy, and no one could come up with an idea. Fang Zhong listened to their conversation and realized that this Tsz Yun Temple was too big originally, and it was also divided into many halls, and they had learned different from each other, and only in the end did they go to the same place, and enter the Hall of Elders and the Hidden Scripture Pavilion to continue their cultivation. This Pilu Hall is just a more famous Buddha hall in Ciyun Temple, mainly to cultivate the mind and mudra, just because he said to Zhiming that Zheng Yuanhong was in the palm print, this monk begged to go to the Pilu Temple, now it seems that the text is not right at all, and Zheng Yuanhong tossed it in vain. Although the monk is kind-hearted, there are also times when the kindness is made into the liver and lungs of a donkey. Seeing that there was no way to go on like this, Fang Zhonggao shouted: "Don't quarrel with the masters, I don't know who can invite the abbot here, or he can rescue the Zheng Sect Master." Zhijing of the Napilu Temple shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's very difficult to bother the abbot and his old man. Fang Zhong said: "As long as you make a good speech, I don't blame you for coming or not, so what's the difficulty?" Zhijing said: "Yes, but I sneaked out of the Pilu Temple, and I went to see the abbot like this, so I didn't know that I was lazy, so I didn't go, and the Lord Fang forgave me." You let the others go. "Let's just go out. The monks of the Pilu Temple, who had followed him, walked out one after another. Zhikong and Zhiming also wanted to go out, but Fang Zhong grabbed them and said, "Where are the two masters going?" Na Zhiming said embarrassedly: "The abbot's temper is not good, no one dares to see him, you let me go, and the poor monk will find another way for you." Fang Zhong said: "I don't need you to find the monks of the Heavenly King Hall and the Shakya Palace, just go to see the abbot." Zhiming hurriedly said: "The abbot has not seen a guest for a long time, who dares to disturb, I really can't call it, if I lie to you, you will go to hell with your tongue." Fang Zhongqi said: "There is such a thing? Seeing that Zhiming even said the words of going to hell, it must be true, so he said: "If the abbot doesn't come, you go and find an elder." I and the master of Zheng Men were originally very good, but when I entered Ciyun Temple, I was called a few Buddha words by the two of you to become like this, Buddhism pays attention to karma, and the cause you planted still needs you to solve this effect. ”
I heard that it is okay to call an elder, Zhikong said: "There are dozens of elders in my Ciyun Temple, I don't know which one you want to find?" Fang Zhong didn't know any of the senior monks in Ciyun Temple, and the only thing that seemed to have a slight impression was the repentant master who had come to Kunlun once, and said busily: "The repentant master is in the temple, he once came to my Kunlun as a guest, so you said that it was a Kunlun disciple asking to see, and he will definitely come." Zhikong said: "Master Confession is indeed one of the three elders of this temple, since Master Fang has an old relationship with him, this will be with you." Fang Zhong was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly. Fang Zhong also knew that he wanted to see the abbot of Ciyun Temple as a junior disciple of Kunlun, it was indeed a bit wishful thinking, even the status of Zhikong and Zhiming, compared to the Kunlun generation, was higher than himself, not to mention those senior monks in the Pilu Temple, they were willing to come to give Tianda face, but they couldn't complain about anything.
Fang Zhong waited patiently in the room, and after more than half an hour, he heard a Buddha horn outside the door, and someone said loudly: "Amitabha, which Kunlun came to visit the old man?" "It's very old. Fang Zhong hurriedly greeted him, and saw an old monk with white eyebrows holding a string of large Buddha beads in his hand, looking at himself. Zhikong Zhiming and the others, who were behind the Repentant Master, were scared, for fear that Fang Zhong would open his mouth and say that he would recognize him if he didn't recognize it, so he would inevitably offend the Great Elder, and when he heard the Repentant Master say, "It turned out to be you." When the hanging heart finally let go, if the two had never met, they would definitely not say this. Fang Zhong was surprised: "Does the master recognize you?" The hearts of Zhikong Zhiming and Zhiming were raised again, and they said strangely, how could the Great Elder know this person, but this person was very strange. Master Confession smiled slightly and said: "When Lao Qu went to Kunlun, I had the honor to see you once, you were in Langfeng Tai with people, and Lao Qu was on the stage. Fang Zhong was surprised and delighted when he heard this. Master Confession continued: "That time, Lao Wei was invited by Master Jingyi of Cihang Jingzhai to visit Kunlun, and later after going back, I asked Mrs. Shi about you, and she said that your surname is Fang Mingzhong, and you are her deceased, but so? Fang Zhong was inexplicably moved and said, "Master Jingyi really cares too much about his disciples. Master Confession said: "That's right, but when I heard that you Kunlun Mountain and the Demon Sect have fought repeatedly, how could you come to me when you are employing people?" Fang Zhong said: "The disciple came to Ciyun Temple for medical treatment. "I told Zheng Yuanhong about it.
Master Confession and Fang Zhong entered the room, first checked Zheng Yuanhong's symptoms, and then said to Fang Zhong: "Since you have seen the handprints cast by the monk, the old man will demonstrate them one by one, and I think there is always one who hit the master of the Zheng Sect." Holding the Buddha beads in one hand, the other hand stretches out his palm to change, or bends one finger, or bends two fingers, or makes a flower-shaped, flowing without a little jerky, and after a while, the nine mudras are finished, and then laugh and say: "Which one?" Fang Zhong shook his head and said, "Neither." The repentant master said strangely: "That's not my Buddhist palm print, you said that he was dressed as a monk, maybe it was fake." Fang Zhong was not sure now, and said: "But when the monk performed it, he made a swastika Buddha seal, if it wasn't for the people in the Buddhist sect, it would be difficult to do so." The repentant master said: "Although my Buddha said that there are nine seals, but that is actually a false name, in which the changes, and can be derived from countless handprints, but there are very few swastika Buddha seals in the palm. For example, what we have just done has covered eighty-one changes, but they are all tangible seals, and there are eighty-one invisible seals, and there are absolutely no swastikas Buddha seals in the palm of the palm. However......" the confessor stopped and was silent, but slowly drew the swastika with one hand. Fang Zhong glanced at it twice, and realized that although the painting drawn by the Master of Confession was also a swastika, it must be right-handed, and he remembered that the monk's palm seemed to be left-handed. Although it is similar, there is still a big difference when you look at the painting of the master of confession now.
Fang Zhongdao: "Master, is the swastika in Buddhism divided into right-handed and left-handed characters?" The Master of Confession was stunned and asked, "What left and right rotation?" Fang Zhong gestured and said: "I see that the master's paintings are all right-handed, but the younger generation remembers that the swastika in the monk's palm is left-handed." The face of the repentant master changed, and he was stunned: "Is it really left-handed?" Fang Zhong said: "It is indeed left-handed." The Master of Confession was silent for a while before he said, "The old man will take you to a place." Then he called Zhikong and Zhiming, and asked them to take a good look at Zheng Yuanhong, but he took Fang Zhong out to walk through the many towers, and I don't know how many small monks and big monks he saw along the way, all of them were very respectful to the master of repentance, although he brought a Fang Zhong, no one came to inquire.
Fang Zhong didn't know where he was going to take him, but he felt that this Ciyun Temple was extremely vast, and there were so many halls that he was dizzying, and after walking for a while, the monks in front of him were scarce, and occasionally he saw one or two monks who were mostly sprinkling water and sweeping the floor and doing some rough work. Fang Zhong said: "Master, where are we going?" The master of repentance said without raising his head: "Let you see if it is the palm print, this palm print will not be the old man, so I can't demonstrate it, so I can only take you to see it." Before the two finally came to a large hall, the Master of Confession stopped and whispered, "This is it." Fang Zhong saw that this hall was majestic, but the door of the hall was closed, and there didn't seem to be any monks inside, so he wondered: "Why is there no one here?" The repentant master stepped forward and gently pushed the door of the hall, and the two doors slowly opened, and the inside was originally pitch black, and only then did there be a little light. Master Confession said: "There is no one here to chant and worship the Buddha, so naturally there is no one. ”
After entering the main hall, Fang Zhong found that the inside was also very vast, and there were six big Buddhas enshrined respectively, each of which was several zhang high, very mighty. Some of these six Buddhas are gorgeous, some are very simple, only a collar robe covers, the left shoulder is exposed, the only thing that is the same is that all the Buddhas have a seal on their right hand, and they hold tin rods, jewels, vajra and other things in their left hands. Fang Zhong looked at them one by one, and when he saw the third statue, he found that the right hand of the big Buddha was spread flat, slightly downward, and a left-handed swastika was drawn in the palm of his hand, and the other hand was actually holding a human head, and then looked at the face of the big Buddha, with angry eyes and eyebrows, and fangs outstretched, like a ghost face. Fang Zhong pointed at the statue and exclaimed, "Master, it's this handprint!" ”
The repentant master was already standing in front of the statue, chanting the Buddha in a low voice, his face was stern, and he said lightly: "What is going to come will come after all, and my Buddha has already expected it, and it is not bad." Fang Zhong said: "These Buddha statues are the big Buddhas enshrined, why are they placed here?" The repentant master said: "This is not a few great Buddhas, but only one Bodhisattva, and those six are just incarnations outside the body of this Bodhisattva." Fang Zhongqi said: "Six incarnations? There is only one Bodhisattva in this hall!? The repentant master said: "Yes, who is the Bodhisattva with six incarnations, he is the King of the Earth who has received the decree of my Dharma and will lead the Netherworld Sect Master forever!" ”
