Book from the sky

Section 2: Xuanzang writes two 'heavenly books'

"I didn't want Chen Xuanzang and his disciples Sun Wukong, Zhu Wuneng and Sha Wujing to know the auspicious details of my trip to Meitang. I'm the marshal of the makeup village girl. It's Wukong, which monkey spirit has seen through my true body in the sky. Chang'e spoke softly. Then, Chang'e introduced to Guanyin Bodhisattva Xiang the process of Chen Xuanzang's two copies of the Heavenly Book of Secret Books handed over to Xiao (Xiao) Hanqing, the presiding officer of Meitang Nunnery.

According to historical records, during the Zhenguan period of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, that is, between 627 and 649 A.D., Guanyin Bodhisattva received the decree of the Buddha and visited the good people who learned scriptures in the city of Chang'an (now Xi'an). Guanyin Bodhisattva and Mu Fork dressed up as two scabies monks, selling brocade robes and nine-ring tin rods on the streets of Chang'an. When the prime minister Xiao (Xiao) Yu saw the treasure, saw two monks and two Buddha objects extraordinary, and personally introduced Guanyin Bodhisattva to Tang King Li Shimin. Guanyin Bodhisattva presented the robe and tin staff to Li Shimin, the king of Tang, on the spot. Tang King Li Shimin later gave Chen Xuanzang two treasures for learning scriptures in the West. Chen Xuanzang was on his way to the West Heaven, Guanyin Bodhisattva received the Buddha's decree and used his magic to "fax" the Tang monks and apprentices to the Tianzigang area of Meitang for half a day of leisure. Guanyin Bodhisattva took this opportunity to instruct Chen Xuanzang's master and apprentice to reserve four sacred relics of "fish, grass, water, and wine" for the Tianzigang Dragon Vein Holy Land.

Chen Xuanzang, Wukong, Wu Neng, and Wu Jing were on their way to Tianzhu to learn scriptures, when they suddenly encountered a powerful tornado, which blew their master and apprentice and their horses to the Wild Dog Rock (renamed Xianren Mountain after they left) in Meitang Village, Qiyang County (now Qidong County), which was under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou Prefecture, and spent the night in the nunnery on the red rock opposite.

About 1,000 meters northwest of Tianzigang, there is a mountain composed of red and cyan rocks, which is called Wild Dog Rock by the locals, and renamed Xianren Mountain after the Tang monks and apprentices left.

In the group of cyan stones on the southern slope of Xianren Mountain, what catches people's vision today is a pair of unartificially carved "three sons" chessboard. The chessboard is about one foot square, with clear lines and distinct lines. This chessboard is the holy relic left behind by Chen Xuanzang and Xiao (Xiao) Hanqing, the host of the nunnery, after playing chess. After Chen Xuanzang's masters and apprentices descended from the sky to the Tianzigang area, they immediately came to the nunnery located next to the Immortal Mountain. Xiao Hanqing, the Taoist priest in the nunnery, likes to play three pieces of chess. After dinner, Xiao Hanqing, the host of the nunnery, invited Tang Seng to go for a walk in Xianren Mountain. Because of the presence of Tang monks and apprentices, the afterglow of the sunset illuminates the fairy mountain vividly. Xiao (Xiao) Hanqing presided over the chess game, picked up a small stick casually, drew a three-son chessboard on the ground, and sat on the ground with Tang Seng. In order to distinguish them, Chen Xuanzang used cyan rocks as chess pieces, and Xiao (Xiao) Hanqing used red rocks as chess pieces. Chen Xuanzang and Xiao (Xiao) Hanqing chatted while playing chess.

"Host Xiao (Xiao), our master and apprentice suddenly patronized Meitang, which has caused you more trouble." Chen Xuanzang said.

"The Tang monks can go to our Meitang on the way to the west to learn scriptures, this must be God's arrangement. I never dreamed that I would be able to meet the Tang monks in my life! This is not only my blessing, but also the virtue accumulated by my Xiao family ancestors in their previous life! Xiao (Xiao) Hanqing said.

"Our master and apprentice set off from Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty and went all the way west to Tianzhu to learn scriptures. We walked about half the way, and a gust of wind suddenly swept us to your plum pond. In the dark, I feel that Guanyin Bodhisattva was ordered by the Buddha to arrange for us to come to Jiangnan for a half-day vacation! Chen Xuanzang said.

"Chang'an is 108,000 miles away, you ride the wind and clouds, come and go quickly. I saw the living gods with my own eyes today! Xiao (Xiao) Hanqing said.

"Guanyin Bodhisattva found that Meitang Tianzigang is a dragon vein holy land, and she asked our master and apprentice to take the opportunity of leisure to prepare four holy relics for the Tianzigang dragon vein holy land." Chen Xuanzang said.

"Guanyin Bodhisattva is like a god, and he does everything perfectly. The Bodhisattva can arrange for you to come to my Meitang for leisure, which is the creation of our Meitang people! On behalf of the people of Meitang, I bow to Guanyin Bodhisattva three times. Xiao (Xiao) Hanqing finished speaking, knelt down to the sky and bowed three times.

"The four holy relics of the burial of Tianzigang, a few of my apprentices can bring them back after a while. During their leisure time, they each have to do a good deed for the people near Meitang! Chen Xuanzang said.

"This is Guanyin Bodhisattva's great love for my people in Meitang! The merits of the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and eminent monks and apprentices, we, the people of Meitang, will remember them from generation to generation! Xiao (Xiao) Hanqing said.

"Tianzigang, the holy land of dragon veins, whose ancestors are buried here, whose ancestors will bless their descendants to be the founding emperor in the future, and the hereditary government will be 300 years." Chen Xuanzang said.

"Tianzigang suddenly came to Meitang, which really brought good news to the people of Meitang! On behalf of the people of Meitang, I also have to bow to Guanyin Bodhisattva three times. Xiao (Xiao) Hanqing finished speaking, and knelt down to the sky again and bowed three times.

"Tianzigang is a place where the dragon veins are protected by immortals, I will tell you how to find and bury the deceased, some of them are written on paper, you have to keep it in mind! And pass it on from generation to generation! You must not leak it intentionally. Whoever divulges this content will be blind! Let the destined people find you on their own. Otherwise, nothing will work," Chen Xuanzang said.

"I keep all of this in my heart. What else do you need to pay attention to when your apprentice brings back the funeral relics? Xiao (Xiao) Hanqing said.

"Our master and apprentice suddenly came here from the way to learn the scriptures this time, mainly by the Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva, blessed the people of the immortals and mountains, and prepared the four holy relics of 'fish, grass, water, and wine' for the Tianzigang Dragon Vein Holy Land." Chen Xuanzang said.
