Chapter 639: Master and Apprentice Worship Buddha
But it was said that at the foot of Xiaoleiyin Mountain, Tang Seng and his apprentices were wondering about the Buddha's light bathing at this time, and suddenly heard a woodcutter next to him sneer: "You four masters and apprentices are new, right?"
Tang Seng had a modest temper, afraid that his apprentices would make trouble, so he hurriedly stepped forward to make a joke and asked: "This benefactor, the poor monk is a monk who learns scriptures from the Tang Dynasty in the East and the West, and it is the first time he has come here, I don't know where this is?
The woodcutter nodded: "It turned out to be a monk from the country of brothers." It's no wonder that Qi Yu Xuanang, unlike the Tianzhu monks, has a sense of peace in his bones, which makes people look unhappy. ”
Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie looked at each other, and glanced at Sha Seng again, not quite understanding what the other party said.
Tang Seng smiled gently: "The donor said that he laughed, that day the Zhu monks are all at the foot of the Ling Mountain, influenced by Mahayana Buddhism, it is said that the West Niu Hezhou, not greedy or killed, nourishing the spirit of the hidden spirit, although the supreme truth, everyone has a solid life, this is with the encounter, presumably it is the prosperity of the Buddha country." ”
The woodcutter sneered: "This monk, I'm afraid that you have entered the devil's path in order to travel westward to seek scriptures, maybe you think that the moon in Tianzhu is rounder than that of the Tang Dynasty, right? Who doesn't know that the people of Tianzhu are insensitive, content with the status quo, almost like gods and Buddhas, and keep house animals in captivity; ”
Tang Seng was stunned, and he couldn't speak for a while.
Seeing this, Sun Wukong stepped forward and shouted: "Wu Na woodcutter, you said that Tianzhu is not good, but because you have heard too much Buddhism, then you are shining with holy light here, and you are suspected of being a general of the Buddha, what's going on?"
As a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, the woodcutter has been forced to study since he was a child, and he understands many truths, so he contracted a mountain forest, made a fortune, and came out to chop wood today, but he was still thinking about it, so that he happened to meet the four masters and apprentices.
He is well-informed, and he is not afraid of Sun Wukong's hairy face and Lei Gong's mouth, but he said lightly: "The Buddha on Tianzhu Ling Mountain is just to persuade others to be content with the status quo, but he enjoys Elysium, and the Buddha here is my Ming Emperor, the Quartet barbarians called Genghis Khan, when he was the prince, he established the Qijuling Special Economic Zone, and sold the products of the Qijuling Mountains to the Tang Dynasty, Persia, and even the distant Daqin, making our people richer day by day." After ascending the throne, he destroyed all the countries, laid down thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, married the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, introduced the Tang culture, and promoted economic construction.
"Therefore, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, because of great merit, won the faith of the people, and proved himself to become a Buddha eight years ago, he announced the monks of the Three Realms in his life, and opened an altar on this mountain today to preach the Dharma to solve the doubts of sentient beings. ”
Sun Wukong slapped his head suddenly: "This old Sun has the impression that eight years ago, we were still in the Baoxiang Kingdom, I heard that the Ming Emperor became a Buddha, but I didn't expect that in this trance, eight years have passed." ”
Tang Seng hurriedly said: "When the poor monk left the eastern soil, he once made a vow to meet the Buddha and worship the Buddha, and to sweep the tower when he met the tower. ”
The woodcutter said: "Master doesn't have to be in a hurry, just go slowly, but it's not too late, I heard that at this moment, all the heavenly monks, gods, gods and demons have come to listen to the lecture, I don't know how many people can achieve positive results." ”
"Heavenly immortals, it's just that the monks on the earth come to listen, why do demons also come to listen?" Sun Wukong was slightly stunned and couldn't help asking.
"What's wrong with the demons? As long as my Ming demons abide by the law and pay taxes according to the rules, they will enjoy the national treatment of the Ming Dynasty, why are they not qualified to listen to the lecture?" The woodcutter smiled and said: "I heard that those demons are quite famous, what Bull Demon King, Ten Thousand Saints Dragon King, Nine-headed Dragon King or something, they are all demon kings." ”
"Bull Demon King?" Sun Wukong was shocked again, and turned his head to look at Zhu Bajie.
It turned out that they passed through the mountain, and encountered the red boy who robbed Tang Seng, and also spewed out the true fire of Samadhi, and the three brothers almost couldn't resist it, but fortunately, even if the Bull Demon King arrived, he reprimanded the red boy and let Tang Seng go.
Sun Wukong still remembers what the Bull Demon King said when he reprimanded the red boy: "The Buddhas of the West Heaven have experienced seventeen Buddhas, that is, the magic power of the Buddha is five hundred years old, and there is also a time of extinction, just Tang Seng, the reincarnation of a Buddha's son-in-law, why can he live forever if he eats it? Don't be so arrogant, be careful to be someone else's pawn." ”
Just a few words, the red boy suddenly realized and let Tang Seng go.
Sun Wukong expressed his gratitude, and the Bull Demon King waved his hand generously, not caring.
So in the end, the red boy is still in the mountain, although he is the king of the mountain, he has not done anything wrong.
Later, in the Flaming Mountain, the princess of the iron fan didn't say a word, and directly borrowed the banana fan, so that Sun Wukong could fan out the flames, and spent eight hundred miles of the Flaming Mountain, almost effortlessly.
Therefore, the brotherhood between Sun Wukong and the Bull Demon King is still there.
It's just that I didn't expect this old cow to listen to the Buddha's teachings here, and he was really motivated.
Tang Seng said: "Since the new Buddha preached, I will hurry up the mountain!"
So the four of them continued to move forward, and in a moment, they reached the edge of the cliff. Walking up step by step, I saw the mountain: the wind was blowing in the forest, and the water was gurgling at the bottom of the stream. The crows can't fly, and the gods are also difficult. Thousands of cliffs, hundreds of bays. The dust is rolling and no one is there, and the strange rocks are not tired of looking. There are clouds like water in some places, and there are trees and birds on the side. The deer bit Zhi goes, and the ape picks the peach and returns. Raccoon dogs jump back and forth on the cliffs, and the roe deer go in and out of the ridge.
Walk through the ridge head, go down to the west level, suddenly see the auspicious light, the colorful fog is one after another, there is a building and the palace, the faint bell chime is melodious. Sanzang said: "Apprentices, look at what kind of place it is. The walker raised his head, put his hand on the awning, and looked carefully, the wall compartment was a good place! The green pine covers the high pavilion with rain, and the green bamboo leaves the cloud to protect the lecture hall. The glow of the ethereal dragon palace is shown, and the color flutters in the sand. Inside the bird crying Dan tree, next to the crane drinking stone spring. Surrounded by flowers, the garden is showy, and the door is open on three sides. The building is abrupt and the door is open, and the bell chime is long and the sound is long. Hongchen is not in the true fairyland, and the quiet land recruits a good dojo.
There is also a square there, with a high platform in the middle, and huge stands built around it, like the ancient Colosseum of the Roman city of the Great Qin Kingdom.
Sun Wukong said: "Master, there is the scripture platform, let's hurry over." ”
Tang Seng was overjoyed, so he stepped into the house with the support of Sun Wukong and others, and sure enough, he saw that on the high platform, a middle-aged man dressed as an emperor sat proudly, Sun Wukong looked at it with fiery eyes, and saw that he was possessed by the emperor star, his luck was prosperous, and the purple gas on his head surrounded 10,000 miles, which was a peerless Ming Jun atmosphere.
"Along the way, the Ming Dynasty has been peaceful, and even the goblins have never made trouble, this Ming Emperor is really the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I am only afraid of my Tang Dynasty Son, and the emperor's brother Zhenguan can't compare to him?" Tang Seng thought secretly, and then bowed to the worship, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
And Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie were directly stunned.
Because they saw countless old people in the stands around them.
Many immortal friends of the three islands of the ten continents, Zhen Yuanzi of the Wuzhuang Temple of Wanshou Mountain, the old mother of Lishan who played with them back then, the Xiansheng Erlang Zhenjun of the Guanjiang Estuary, and his Meishan brothers and many grass-headed gods, the Dragon King of the Four Seas, and the gods of the heavenly court, the underworld, the gods of the four continents, and the demons of many deep mountains and Daze, among the seven brothers whom Sun Wukong traveled all over the world and met, there were three or four in the stands.
"And the human monks. Sun Wukong swept over a boy next to him who looked weak and weak, dressed in white, and the four old and ugly women behind him kept giving him flowers, and there seemed to be an impression in his eyes, but he should have never seen it.
Sun Wukong didn't know that he was in another multiverse, and he should have competed with this son called "Emptiness", but even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
I just feel that the gods, Buddhas and demons of the heavens are only half of them.
"Lingshan Da Lei Yin Temple has been built for thousands of years, but I'm afraid that there are not so many people, right?"
Sun Wukong thought secretly in his heart, and then a trace of admiration rose.
