Chapter 204: A Thousand Sons Return to the Sect
Fancheng is a fortress, not big, but it looks simple and generous, with many sculptures and giant trees, showing a strong cultural atmosphere. Liu Feng doesn't understand Buddhism, but he is a crazy Taoist, in order to refute various sects, he is familiar with the classics, maybe he has some Buddha nature?
He looked at the grass and trees around him, and muttered, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, it's strange, I've been to countless big temples and small temples, and I have never had such a solemn and peaceful feeling, isn't this a holy place for Buddhism?" ”
"Lumbini, Bodh Gaya, Sarnath, Kushnagar, this is the holy land of Buddhism, right? It's far from here. Crazy Taoist, you must have aged before you grew old, and you were confused in advance. Liu Feng deliberately mocked the mad Taoist.
"No, no, madman, you have to trust the instincts of the monks. Here, it's definitely not easy! The mad priest pointed to a nearby river that was not too big and said.
Liu Feng followed his finger and looked at a river zigzag to the south, not far from the river, a huge pool, which was actually full of lotus flowers, red, white, pink, purple, and turquoise lotus leaves, and the twisted and vigorous trees on the river bank, row upon row, looked simple and mysterious.
At this time, there happened to be a cultivator next to him, skinny, wearing an earthy yellow monk's robe, but he was already ragged, painted with red, white and yellow oil paint, meditating quietly next to the driest old tree.
The mad Taoist priest was interested, he pulled Liu Feng and ran to the cultivator with a grin. He stretched out his fingers, using his index and middle fingers as swords, pointing to the sky, and then made a similar gesture with his right hand, but the index finger and planting pointed to the base of the palm of his left hand, and then bowed down and called a way:
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, hey, hey, how is the master?"
This weird tidying up Liu Feng has never seen a mad Taoist compare, but looking at this crazy guy's respectful appearance, it must be a very formal courtesy, but that obscene hehehehe, all this has come to naught. Fortunately, this pick-up seems to work.
The cultivator opened his eyes slightly, under his long white eyebrows, a pair of fine eyes shone like electricity, he looked at the mad Taoist priest, bowed slightly, and returned the salute.
"Dare to ask the master, the channel is not talented, I feel a very strong Buddha light here, I don't know if I'm crazy, or is there any other reason?" The mad Taoist priest asked.
When the cultivator heard this, his body trembled slightly, and he tried his best to get up, but he bowed down and gave a salute to the mad Taoist. Then he said slowly:
"The mage is clever, this is the place where thousands of sons return to the sect, and it is also the old trace of the past."
If you come to the old scriptures, you can also understand, what does this thousand sons have to do with Buddhism? Liu Feng was confused, and the mad Taoist priest was also confused.
Liu Feng was a little curious, he licked his face and continued to ask: "Master, the place where the Buddha traveled is indeed full of Buddha's light. But does this thousand sons have anything to do with this? ”
This question seemed to anger the cultivator a little, his eyes were cold, he stared at Liu Feng, and immediately, he probably felt that the monks should not be so angry, so he calmed down and continued to preach to the two:
"In the past, there were immortals who lived in seclusion in the valley not far away, and when the spring flowers bloomed, they used to drink water here. Coincidentally, there is an elk also happens to be drinking water not far away, the elk senses the fairy energy, incarnates into a woman, the posture is graceful, the appearance is beautiful, only a pair of feet, still like the deer's feet.
The immortal was amazed when he saw this, so he adopted the deer girl. After arriving at Xianlu, she was asked to ask for fire, and wherever the woman went, where her feet had stepped on, there were many traces of lotus flowers. When the immortal saw it, he felt that this woman definitely had great achievements. So, she trotted around the fairy house, and where there was water, she left a lot of lotus flowers. ”
The cultivator said this, and stretched out his finger and pointed to the lotus flowers around him, as if these were left by the deer girl. He continued:
After a while, the deer girl returned to Xianlu, and sure enough, she came back with the fire. After the fairy and the deer girl lived here for a while, the fairy wandered around, leaving the deer girl alone.
coincided with the outing of King Fanyu, saw the lotus flowers all over the place, and the traces of the lotus flowers on the road, found the deer girl all the way, felt very strange, and took her back to the palace. At that time, this place was under the jurisdiction of the Vaishya, and after King Fanyu returned to China, there was a prophecy of the Xiangshi, saying that this woman should give birth to a thousand sons. When everyone heard this, they didn't care.
Who knows, after full-term, a lotus flower is born, the flower has a thousand leaves, and the leaf sits on a son. When the Vaishyas saw this, they did not know what to call it, so they abandoned the lotus flower in the river Rakya. Well, this is the river. The cultivator pointed to the river in front of him.
"When the king of Wuqiyan was playing in the lower reaches of the river, he saw a golden light coming with the waves, and he ordered someone to fish it up and open it with his own hands, and there were a thousand sons in it. At that time, their country was weakened, and the king of Wuqiyan felt that this was auspicious from heaven, so he raised these thousand sons.
These thousand children are infinitely powerful, and the king of Wuqiyan relies on the power of these thousand sons to conquer all battles and conquer invincible, expand the territory, and be invincible. Finally, after the conquest of the Quartet, the soldiers came to the Vaisha country. When King Fanyu heard the news, he was shocked, and his troops were too far away to be helpless.
Only the deer girl understands that these thousand children are their sons. So she took the initiative to ask for battle, saying that there was a way to defeat the enemy. King Fanyu didn't hold out much hope, but there was really no other way but to agree.
The deer girl came to the city tower of Fan City, waiting for the enemy. Qianzi led a large army to surround the city of powder, and the deer girl said to them,
'I am your mother, you are my children. ’
Qianzi didn't believe it and asked, 'Nonsense, is there any evidence?' ’
The deer girl pressed her hands on her two breasts, and her nature felt it, and the breast milk was divided into a thousand strips and sprayed into the mouth of a thousand children. Qianzi naturally believed that the mother and son recognized each other, the two countries ceased and formed an alliance, and the people were saved from war. ”
This is the end of the story, the cultivator narrates, a magnificent story, which makes Liu Feng and the mad Taoist dumbfounded, however, the last sentence of the cultivator is the point.
"If you come to this point, point to this place and say, I returned to the sect to see my relatives here that day, and I want to know a thousand sons, that is, a thousand Buddhas!"
When the mad Taoist priest and Liu Feng heard this, they were shocked, it turned out that this was the place where a thousand Buddhas appeared, and it was no wonder that the mad Taoist priest could feel the Buddha's light here. However, it was further confirmed that Liu Feng did not have any Buddha fate.
The two of them said goodbye to the cultivators, and then bowed respectfully to the lotus pond before leaving this place.
There is a general military mansion in the city, Liu Feng and others are here to discuss matters, they told about the matter of the Thousand Buddhas, and everyone sighed.
"Crazy, our 90,000 troops are stationed here, and it is not a long-term solution, continue to go south, or return to the city of Shiqunu, please be clear!" Zhao Yun said.
"Lin Zhishui's army feinted to attack Wangshe City, and it will return soon. The cobra Boche knew that he had been fooled, and he was afraid that he would not give up. Qu Nucheng is just Mr. Guo, and it is definitely not safe enough. Liu Feng said.
