Chapter 485: Yu Lan Festival

For more than one day, Jin Chan and the others finally came to the outside of the Lei Yin Zen Temple.

Look at the thunder sound Zen Temple: the top of the sky, the root of the Sumeru vein. The peaks are arranged, and the strange stones are uneven. Under the cliff, the grass and flowers are flowers, and the purple mushroom is fragrant next to the winding path. The fairy ape picks the fruit into the peach forest, but it is like a fire burning gold, and the white crane sacrifices the pine branches, like smoke holding jade. Caifeng is shuangshuang, Qingluan is right.

Colorful phoenixes are double, the sun is shining in the world, Qingluan is right, and the wind is dancing in the world. See also the Huang Sensen golden tile stacked mandarin ducks, and the bright pretence of flower bricks and agate. One line in the east, one line in the west, all of them are Ruigong Zhuque, the south area, the north area, you can't see the treasure pavilion building. The palace of the heavenly king put a glow, and the purple flame was sprayed in front of the Dharma Protector Hall. The floating tower is showing, the bowl is fragrant, it is the earth that is better than the doubt, and the clouds are leisurely and the days are long. The red dust is not at the end of all fate, and there is no loss in the first hall.

An Xiaoyu said: "Master, is this Leiyin Zen Temple the Great Leiyin Temple where the Buddha is located?"

Jin Chan said with a smile: "The Leiyin Temple is just the representative of the Great Leiyin Temple in the world, how can the real Da Leiyin Temple be so cheesy." ”

Zhu Ganglie said: "Master, if it is tacky here, there will be no fairyland in the world." ”

Jin Chan said: "Ganglie, when you become an immortal one day and ascend to the heavenly realm, you will be able to see the real fairyland." ”

Jin Chan arranged An Xiaoyu and the others to the meditation room where the guests rested, and then went to hand in the order herself.

As soon as An Xiaoyu entered the room, the voice of the Ruyi golden hoop stick sounded in his ears: "Little monkey, hurry up and take out the golden stone obtained from the waterhole near the White Horse Temple, I will devour it." ”

An Xiaoyu took out the golden stone and found that it was neither gold nor copper, I don't know what metal it was, but the weight was very heavy, the size of a fist, but it weighed tens of thousands of catties, so he asked, "Brother Bang, what kind of stone is this?"

The golden hoop rod said: "This is the Chaos Golden Essence, which broke the world barrier and fell from the sky during the war between the innate beings and the demons. ”

An Xiaoyu said: "It's so precious, Brother Bang, you quickly absorb it." ”

The golden hoop rod turned into a basin, and An Xiaoyu put the Chaos Gold Essence in the basin.

An Xiaoyu said to himself: "I'll take a look at the seventy-two changes in cultivation. ”

An Xiaoyu looked for the remaining seventy-two transformation skills in his mind and chose to practice the Bigu technique.

Bigu is a traditional Taoist practice and longevity method, described in the "Zhuangzi Wandering": "The mountain of the contempt shoots, there are gods and men living in Yan. The skin is like ice and snow, the water is like a virgin, it does not eat grains, it sucks wind and drinks dew, rides the clouds, flies the dragon, and swims beyond the four seas......"

"The Great Dai Li Ji Yi Ben Ming" said: "The meat eater is brave and fierce, the grain eater is wise and skillful, the gas eater is a god and long-lived, and the one who does not eat does not die and is a god." ”

By not eating grains for a period of time, it can eliminate the accumulation of impurities in the body, adjust the body's metabolic system, and improve the internal environment of the human body.

Qi is written as "qi" in traditional Chinese, and the upper "qi" and the lower "rice" can be seen that "qi" and "rice" are both sources of energy for the human body. And the core key to cultivating Bigu is "Qi Enough".

Taoism put forward the theory that "the essence is not lustful, the qi is not hungry, and the spirit is not sleepy", and the essence, qi, and god represent a person as a whole

The fundamental substance of the state, in which "qi is full and does not think about food" is the description of the state of Bigu.

There are two ways for the human body to obtain energy, one is called "Gu Dao", which supplements the energy required by the human body by obtaining the nutrients in the grains, that is, the positive energy system, but the food contains impurities, even if the human body can not remove all the impurities through defecation, and there will be many impurities left, which affects people's perception of the Tao.

The other is called "airway", the person who obtains the energy of nature by absorbing the aura and then nourishes the human body, that is, the negative energy system, the purer the aura, the less impurities, the more he can perceive the mystery of the dao.

One is to directly absorb the aura between heaven and earth to achieve "qi is full and does not want to eat", and the other is to take Bigu Dan to absorb the aura in the pill to achieve the purpose of Bigu.

What An Xiaoyu wants to cultivate now is the first way to open the valley.

First of all, it is necessary to open the body's central channel system, which is the first step for people to quickly enter the state of Bigu, because the central channel is the body's energy system, and the negative energy needs to enter the human body through the central channel and be used by the human body.

Secondly, learn the Taoist method of qi collection, learn to obtain the energy needed by the body from nature through thoughts and visualizations, so that the stomach has a slight feeling of heat and satiety.

An Xiaoyu stayed in the room until the fifth day, when he heard a knock on the door, and An Xiaoyu woke up from the state of Bigu.

Zhu Ganglie walked in and said, "Brother Monkey, are you cultivating?"

An Xiaoyu said: "Yes, Lao Zhu, I am practicing the Grain Reclamation Technique." ”

Zhu Ganglie said: "No wonder, we go to eat, every time you are not there, it turns out that you have cultivated the Grain Splitting Technique." ”

An Xiaoyu said: "I forgot the time when I cultivated. ”

Zhu Ganglie said: "It's okay to eat it or not, every day with vegetarian rice, birds fade out of my mouth." ”

An Xiaoyu said: "Lao Zhu, I'll teach you the art of clearing the valley?"

Zhu Ganglie said: "I don't learn the art of bigu, there are so many delicious foods in the world, why should I treat my stomach badly?"

An Xiaoyu said: "I hope you will be able to manage everything in the world in the future." ”

Zhu Ganglie said: "That relationship is good." ”

An Xiaoyu said: "Lao Zhu, you came here to chat with me?"

Zhu Ganglie patted his head and said, "Look at my memory, Master asked me to tell you that the Yu Lan Festival Festival is about to start, let us go over and participate." ”

An Xiaoyu said: "Then don't hurry up, you will know how to eat every day, and you will eat pigs sooner or later." ”

An Xiaoyu and Zhu Ganglie came to the front, and Ao Lie and the others had already come to Jin Chan.

Jin Chan said: "The Yu Lan Festival is about to start, let's go out to see the excitement." ”

At this time, it was already night, the moon was hanging high, and the breeze was gentle.

Everyone walked outside and saw that a high platform had been set up outside the Leiyin Zen Temple, called the Master Seat and Shi Gutai. In front of the mage seat is the Jizo King Bodhisattva, who has transcended the ghosts of hell, and below is a plate of peaches and rice made from plates.

On the Shi Gu platform stood three spirit tablets and a spirit flag.

After noon, all families put all pigs, whole sheep, chickens, ducks, geese and all kinds of cakes, fruits, melons and fruits on Shi Gutai

Above.

The person in charge planted a blue, red, and green pennant on each offering, and wrote the words 'Olan Festival' and 'Manna Gate Open'.

Countless monks and Taoist priests, among which the abbots of the White Horse Temple, Lingyin Temple, Hanshan Temple, Shaolin Temple, Jinshan Temple, Hanging Temple and other temples are sitting cross-legged on the Master's seat, wearing robes, twisting Buddhist beads with one hand, knocking on the wooden fish with the other hand, and reciting Buddhist scriptures in their mouths.

It began with a solemn stream of temple music, followed by the Venerable Master ringing the bell and leading the monks to recite various mantras and mantras. Then apply the food, scatter a plate of peaches and rice in all directions, repeat three times. This ritual is called "flame venting".

There are also many Taoist priests, wearing Taoist robes, holding hands and dusting, singing ghost worship songs that people do not understand, this kind of ritual is called 'Shi Ge'er'.

In the distance, like a big market, there are people who sell spiritual weapons and boots, those who sell hats, those who sell golden rhino belts, and those who sell colorful paper clothes in paper paste shelves.

Some people gathered around the Dharma platform to watch the festival, while others brought their children and daughters, calling friends and wives, and lingering in the bazaar.

In the distance, every household burns incense in front of their house and inserts the incense on the ground, the more the better, symbolizing the abundant harvest of the five grains, which is called "cloth field".

Farther away, many people are putting krathongs in the river, that is, using a small wooden board to tie a lamp, most of them are made of colored paper in the shape of lotus flowers, called "water and drought lanterns".

The Krathong is to guide the way for those unjustly killed ghosts, and when the lights are extinguished, the Krathong has completed the task of leading the unjust souls across the Naihe Bridge.

The shops are closed, giving up the streets to the ghosts.

In the middle of the street, every 100 steps there is an incense table, on which there are fresh melons and fruits and a kind of "ghost bun".

Ao Qingqing said: "Sister Jin Chan, what is the Yu Lan Festival?"

Jin Chan said: "The Yu Lan Festival, commonly known as the Ghost Festival, is the 15th day of July every year, Taoism is called the Zhongyuan Festival, and Buddhism is called the Bon Festival, referred to as the Yu Lan Festival. ”

Ao Qingqing said: "There is a mid-year festival, so is there an upper yuan festival and a lower yuan festival?"

Jin Chan said: "Qingqing is very smart, the fifteenth day of the first month is called the Shangyuan Festival, the Lantern Festival, and the fifteenth day of October is called the Xiayuan Festival, eating cold food, commemorating the sage." July 15 is called the Zhongyuan Festival, sacrifice to the ancestors, it was originally a small autumn, many crops are ripe, the folk should worship the ancestors according to the routine, with new rice and other sacrifices, report to the ancestors of the autumn. Therefore, every mid-year festival, every family worships their ancestors, and when they make offerings, they perform rituals. On July 15, go to the grave to sweep the grave and worship the ancestors. ”

Ao Qingqing said: "Then why do you have to do the Yu Festival?"

Jin Chan said: "Legend has it that on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, the gate of hell is opened, and all the ghosts will be released from the underworld, and the ghosts who have descendants and descendants will go home to receive incense offerings. Therefore, on the 15th day of July, people have to hold almsgiving activities such as 'Pudu' and 'almsgiving' such as feeding sacrifices and chanting sutras, so as to prevent them from causing disasters to the world, or to pray for ghosts to help remove epidemics and bless the safety of their homes. Whoever has a new mourning should go to a new grave, and generally in the locality

Sacrifice to lonely souls and wild ghosts, this time Leiyin Zen Temple invited the world's temples to come together to do a ** meeting, to Pudu ghosts. ”

Shark Ling'er said, "Sister Jin Chan, when did the Yu Lan Festival arise?"

Jin Chan said: "In my first life, there was a junior brother named Mu Lian, whose magical powers were very vast, and the senior brother of Mu Lian was thinking about his deceased mother, so he used his magical powers, looked at hell, and found that his mother fell into the evil ghost path after death because of the greedy karma when she was alive, and lived a life of not having enough to eat. Mu Lian then used his divine power to turn into food and give it to his mother, but her mother did not change her greed, and when she saw the food coming, she was afraid that other evil spirits would take it for her, and her greed rose again, and as a result, the food immediately turned into charcoal in her mouth and could not be swallowed. ”

An Xiaoyu said: "If you do evil in your previous life and suffer after death, it is also the reincarnation of heaven. ”

Zhu Ganglie said: "Brother Monkey, you jumped out of the crack in the stone, how can you understand the feelings of others who feel sorry for your mother?"

Yulan said: "Yes, the crow feeds back, the lamb kneels to suckle, no matter what the mother is, people still have to honor their mother." ”
