Chapter 3 Cause and Effect
Putuo Mountain, sea bamboo forest, partial to the northwest boundary of Putuo, purple gas contains graceful white mist. The pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info the wind passes, Ye Xiaoxiao, a branch and a leaf are always concerned, and the dense green floats in the sky, which adds a bit of tranquility and leisurely to this place.
"Knock~Knock~~Knock~~"
The dust is not stained by the world, the Brahma bell is long, one hundred and eight rings, deep and long, the birds are not frightened, the flowers are not trembling, and the Buddha symbiotes Putuo.
Putuo Mountain, the unique long bell of compassion, its sound is compassion, it is also compassion, compassion for all sentient beings.
"The bell is heard, the troubles are light, the wisdom is long, Bodhi is born, from hell, out of the fire kang, willing to become a Buddha and save all sentient beings." Suddenly, the bell sounded, and the phoenix silently recited the Buddha's vow in his mouth.
"The donor has not entered the empty door, and it is rare to understand the Buddha's wishes." I saw a bright lamp gently rotating in front of the phoenix, a golden lotus flower on the lampstand slowly unfolded, hiding the Sanskrit characters on the lampstand, everything around was slightly distorted, the wick swayed slightly in the wind, let the endless breeze blow, but never extinguished.
"The Buddha's wish is the wish of the Buddha's heart, and it is also the wish of all sentient beings." Canghuang raised his head, looked at the bright light and said meticulously.
"Amitabha, the little benefactor, the poor monk sees that you have an open face and a clear state of mind, but you are lacking in essence and blood, and there is a hidden evil spirit in your life palace, I am afraid that it is...... If the donor can enter my empty door, the poor monk is willing to use Buddhism to transform your life palace. Jueyuan Bodhisattva finally appeared in the Dharma body, sat on the Dharma frame and said.
"The Bodhisattva is merciful, Canghuang is grateful, I am a superfluous poor person in this world, and I should have died a long time ago. But I can't die, I still have unfulfilled wishes, and I still have unfulfilled things. Therefore, forgive the boy for being arrogant, I can't go to the Pure Land of Buddhism with the Bodhisattva now, if there is no concern in the future, I will cut my hair and become a monk, and eat fasting with the Bodhisattva. Canghuang leaned over and said.
"In this case, the poor monk will no longer force the donor, but the poor monk still has something to ask the donor, please don't blame the donor, but the stakes are very high, and please forgive the donor." Jueyuan Bodhisattva's expression was rare and a little embarrassed.
"Canghuang knows what the Bodhisattva thinks in his heart, but the Living Buddha of Eternal Wisdom has already made a decision." Canghuang lowered his voice and said to the Bodhisattva.
"Amitabha, the poor monk has said a lot." When the Bodhisattva heard Canghuang's words, his eyes full of compassion looked at Canghuang, with doubts, surprises, and so, the two seemed to be playing dumb riddles, but they already knew each other in their hearts.
"Amitabha, the living Buddha's Dharma body has returned to its place, and the Buddha is grateful to the donor, but I don't know what the donor wants? What Buddhism can do, it will not shirk. At this time, the Buddhist saint folded his hands, fell off the frame, stood in the sea bamboo forest, slowly bowed, and the Bodhisattva bowed down for the phoenix.
Canghuang looked at the Bodhisattva in a daze, his eyes were a little flustered, but he didn't say a word, but he also gave a salute to the Bodhisattva.
Canghuang groaned, he couldn't ask for anything in return with the Dharma body of a living Buddha, but the place that haunted him was too far away, and he thought in his heart, "Asking the Bodhisattva to give me a ride shouldn't be counted as asking for something in return!" ”
So Canghuang said: "Canghuang wants to go to a place, which is a little far away, and asks the Bodhisattva to give me a ride." ”
"Amitabha, donor, please speak." Jueyuan Bodhisattva looked at Canghuang, his eyes were full of appreciation, and his heart was more affirmative of the decision of the Living Buddha of Eternal Wisdom.
"Spring Mountain." The phoenix looks directly at the Bodhisattva from afar, and the eyes are firm, which is the desire of the heart.
The Bodhisattva's body was fixed there, and his wrinkled face seemed to be as deep as an axe and a chisel, and after a moment the Bodhisattva asked, "Amitabha, why did the donor go to the Spring Mountain?" Do you know where Spring Mountain is? ”
"Canghuang went to Chunshan just to seek a period of cause and effect, and I also know that Chunshan is in the Shengyuan Heavenly Empire." Canghuang nodded in response.
"Since the donor knows, he still wants to go to that spring mountain?" The Bodhisattva twisted the Buddha beads in his hand, and this was also the first time that Canghuang saw the Bodhisattva frowning, and the frown was very deep, as if it was very difficult.
"If the Bodhisattva is in trouble, Canghuang will find a way to go again." Canghuang shook his head, he never thought that just giving him a ride would make the sages of Buddhism frown.
The Bodhisattva twisted the Buddha beads, took a step, and walked slowly, in the sea bamboo forest, the Bodhisattva seemed to say to himself: "Spring Mountain, three thousand years ago, it was originally where the Spring Mountain Palace of the human race was located, but three thousand years ago, the ghost demon severely injured the giant spirit clan and took away the inheritance of the divine stone, the ghost demon clan expanded sharply and devoured the spring mountain, and the human race was in danger. 1,600 years ago, the ghost clan began to disperse, thinking of selfishness, seizing the inheritance and killing their fellow clansmen, and the human race was able to breathe. The seventeen living Buddhas of the thousand-year-old Buddhism Gate sat in all directions at the same time, achieving the seventeen holy areas at this time, and since then the foundation of the human race has been stable and the Great Tomorrow Dynasty has been established. Five hundred years ago, the third prince of the Great Ming Dynasty, Shengyang, ascended the throne, and the crown prince Shengyuan lost power. But the prince Shengyuan himself is extremely powerful, bravely planning to merge, is the pride of the sky, naturally has a lot of supporters, he finally because he is unwilling to be subordinate, with countless sects, gods, clans together betrayed the human race, the prince Shengyuan with the power of thunder to kill a bloody road, this road bloody and bloody, hundreds of sects perished, dozens of gods will fall, it is a battle that destroys the world. Three years later, the Prince of Shengyuan killed 90,000 li south of Chunshan and established the Shengyuan Heavenly Dynasty, opposite the Great Ming Dynasty. This is the spring mountain at this time. The Bodhisattva returned from 500 years ago, and he could still feel the overwhelming power of the rebellion that had been brewing at that time.
"Prince Shengyuan is awe-inspiring, but unfortunately, he was born from the same root, so why not be in a hurry to fry each other." Canghuang followed behind the Bodhisattva and sighed.
"Amitabha, if the Emperor of Heaven and the Divine Monarch can be as clear as the benefactor, the human race may be able to achieve the prosperity of the human race, but unfortunately, their demons have been born, and it is difficult to turn back. The Shengyuan Heavenly Dynasty does not have the protection of the Tongtian Town Demon Tower, and it is only a flat boat, and now the ghost demon clans are eyeing each other, in order to preserve their strength, they only tolerate the existence of the Shengyuan Heavenly Dynasty, if it were not so, the Shengyuan Heavenly Dynasty would have been wiped out in the long river of history. "The Bodhisattva is the most transparent person in his heart, and the general trend of the world is hidden in his heart, even if the Prince of Shengyuan is a masterpiece of the ancient and the present, he is not optimistic about the Shengyuan Heavenly Dynasty.
"Amitabha, little donor, do you still want to go to Nachun Mountain?" The Bodhisattva stopped, turned around, and asked with a smile.
Canghuang shook his head under the Bodhisattva's gaze, but in the end he nodded lightly and said, "No matter how far Spring Mountain is, I will go, but since the Bodhisattva has difficulties, I will set up another way to go to Spring Mountain." ”
"Amitabha, where the cause is, maybe the Holy Yuan Heavenly Dynasty should also go." The Bodhisattva looked at the southeast, as if he had just flown to the Holy Yuan Heavenly Empire with just a thought.
Canghuang suddenly understood the Bodhisattva's previous difficulties, as a Buddhist saint, what does it mean for him to go to the Shengyuan Heavenly Dynasty? How will the emperor of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty feel?
But before the phoenix finished thinking about it, the Bodhisattva set up the law frame, rolled up the phoenix, and escaped into the heaven and earth, and it was only a moment before Putuo Mountain disappeared from view.
The Bodhisattva went straight to the southeast, floating through the clouds.
Until noon, the Bodhisattva Dharma frame came to the Chixia Pass, which is the border between the Great Tomorrow Dynasty and the Shengyuan Heavenly Dynasty.
"Who is coming, the front is already in the territory of the Shengyuan Heavenly Dynasty, please stay." Suddenly, there was a rebuke from heaven and earth, and the sound was like a bell, buzzing.
Then, a cloud of scattered red Ruixian clouds quickly floated in front of the Bodhisattva.
A phantom fire three-eyed ape, full of lust, monstrous, there is a one-armed general standing on his shoulder, messy hair, black face, but his eyes are extremely bright, with a big bow behind him, the rolling red fire flips on it, and a golden armor with light is closely attached to him, and the momentum is like a rainbow.
"Huh?" The one-armed general looked at it and saw that it was actually a Buddhist sage, and hurriedly jumped down from the ape and bowed to the Bodhisattva.
"Under the bow, I met the Bodhisattva Venerable, but I didn't know that the Bodhisattva Venerable was riding and was abrupt."
"Hehe, General Shengong doesn't have to be polite, the poor monk Jueyuan, came to the Shengyuan Heavenly Dynasty because this patron wanted to go to Chunshan to seek cause and effect, and the poor monk gave him a ride." The Bodhisattva waved his hand, and his deep eyes were full of smiles.
"The Bodhisattva is coming, and the Holy Yuan Heavenly Dynasty should welcome him." Shen Gong shook his heart, he naturally knew who Jueyuan was, a true Buddhist saint, the Great Tomorrow Dynasty can sit firmly in the country precisely because of these bald monks, so if the Shengyuan Heavenly Dynasty can get the help of Buddhism, it should be stronger and stronger, so it can't be lazy.
"Amitabha, the poor monk was just born to practice, and General Shengong is serious." At this time, the bodhisattva should naturally be humble.
"Since you are going to Spring Mountain, you should send a ride in the next place, Bodhisattva, please~" Shenbow's left hand made a gesture of please, this respectful gesture cannot be faked.
"Amitabha, the general has important things to do, and the poor monk has received this intention." The Bodhisattva sits on the Dharma frame, as always compassionate.
General Shengong took out a golden document from his bosom and handed it to Canghuang, "In this case, I will not bother again, Gongzi wants to go to Spring Mountain, this is a customs clearance document." If anyone asks, Childe can take out this document. ”
Canghuang took it, and the text was made of something, extremely light, and there was a divine bow branded on it, which was exactly the same as the divine bow behind the general.
……
In Chunshan City, the Bodhisattva incarnated as a mortal, and the phoenix supported him on one side.
In front of me is a huge rock, which is engraved with three elegant characters of merit rock, merit rock is covered with scars, I don't know how much wind and frost it has experienced, and how many life and death have been witnessed. A huge corpse of a creature was hung in the middle of the rock by two pillars, black and green, more than eight feet high, with extremely long arms, and its head had been cut off, it had been turned into a dried corpse for hundreds of years, it was a ghost.
Seeing this huge demon corpse, Canghuang's lips became a little black. His hands were clenched so tightly that he turned his head away and looked no more.
At this time, there was a lot of people around the merit rock, and there was a person and a demon on it, and the demon was trapped by the human race with an immortal rope, and the people shouted: "Protect my mountains and rivers, and kill all the demons." ”
"Protect my mountains and rivers and kill all the demons...... Protect my mountains and rivers...... Slay the demons ......" countless human races shouted together, and their voices shook the sky.
"Slash~"
"Boom~" The demon head was cut down in full view of everyone, and the human race was excited.
"Thousands of years ago, Chunshan City was far more prosperous than at this time, the abyss you saw from the sky earlier was left when the Lord of Chunshan Palace fought with a demon emperor of the Demon Clan, at that time, the Phantom Demon pressed the realm, and the Chunshan Palace evacuated for the protection of the human race, and launched a battle to the death with the Phantom Demon, that battle, no one in the Chunshan Palace avoided the battle, and when all the Terrans evacuated, one thousand and forty-seven disciples in the Chunshan Palace, nine elders, three Venerables, and seventy-two Dharma holders were all killed. The palace master of Chunshan Palace used a slashing sword, and a sword slashed into Chunshan City, and that sword shook the earth, causing Chunshan City to run through the north and south, completely destroyed. It's a pity that the Nine Cultivation Sword Saints, the master of the Spring Mountain Palace, also died in that battle with hatred. At this point, Spring Mountain was destroyed. "The Bodhisattva's eyes are full of tears, and the majesty of the palace lord of Chunshan can be seen, how can success or failure be judged? When the world is in chaos, you can see heroes.
"Since the ancients were weak, they have survived until now, but the human race is persevering and unyielding. When Prince Shengyuan established the Shengyuan Heavenly Dynasty, he felt that the former master of Chunshan Palace had killed himself and become benevolent, and the momentum of moving forward, Prince Shengyuan was extremely respectful, so he rebuilt Chunshan Palace. If the Shengyuan Heavenly Dynasty and the Great Tomorrow Dynasty combine their swords and unite all of them, they will be able to achieve the prosperity of the human race. It's a pity that the human race is divided, the living Buddha sits, and the ancestors are not there, who among the human race can turn the tide? "The Bodhisattva wept, he is a Buddha, but he is also a human being.
"Little donor, Buddhism is grateful for the donor's righteous deeds, and the poor monk has nothing to repay, so he can only give this string of prayer beads to the donor, and ask the donor not to refuse." The Bodhisattva gently placed the rosary in his hand in the hand of the phoenix, and at this time the rosary was simple and unpretentious, more like a string of agarwood that had been precipitated in the years.
Canghuang held the rosary, and a mantra sounded from his heart, and his voice was endless, as if it was a voice from the depths of his heart, and it reverberated in his heart again and again.
The Bodhisattva smiled lightly and said: "Donor, the world is dangerous, the rosary can protect you from evil, the south of Chunshan City is where the Chunshan Palace is located, donor take care." ”
"Bodhisattva Sacred Heart." Canghuang knelt on the ground and kowtowed in front of the Buddha, knowing that the Bodhisattva was leaving.
"Amitabha." The old man smiled, a coarse linen robe turned into a monk's robe, and a lone lamp turned into a bodhisattva frame. He stared at the phoenix, farther and farther away.
Canghuang got up and looked to the south, there should be a mountain there, it was Spring Mountain.
……
In the distant Chixia Pass, the Divine Bow General held the bow in one hand and fired a fiery arrow that went straight into the clouds.
"General Shenbow, your arrow may be about to open up a new situation." One of the people beside the Divine Bow looked at the scorching Divine Arrow that had sunk into the clouds and smiled.
"Whether it is a new situation is not yet known, but Jueyuan is a Buddhist saint, and since he can come, it represents the will in his heart." The Divine Bow General pulled up his longbow, hope burning in the red flames, and he looked at the mountains, rivers, sun and moon from the Qingzhao Tower, silent and silent. Autumn is coming, it's crimson, it's his favorite season.
"The Crown Prince Shenjun will definitely be very happy." The commander breathed a sigh of relief.
