Chapter 51: Enlightenment
Kukai stood alone in the small courtyard of Ximei Temple, walking slowly, occasionally stopping to look at the peony flowers, sometimes reaching out and gently holding the branches and leaves.
As he walked, he smiled: "It is rude to have a distinguished guest come to the door and not greet him from afar." ”
In Chang'an City, Ximing Temple is one of the best places to enjoy peonies, even in the Zen courtyard, there are traces of peonies.
A black cat gradually walked out of the peony bush, and it was Su Cheng!
"If you come uninvited, you should call me a villain."
Just now, Su Cheng followed Kukai back, and he didn't show up until there was only one person left in the small courtyard, but he didn't expect to be noticed by this monk.
Kukai made an inviting gesture and invited Su Cheng to come to the room and sit down.
A man and a cat sat on the futons on both sides of the small tea table, he scalded the teacup with a pot of boiling water, and then poured it in front of Su Cheng, and asked, "Thanks to His Holiness taking care of him all the way, I haven't known His Holiness's name, how should I address you?" ”
Previously, Su Cheng had always been pretending to be the demon cat Bailong, but now he didn't need to hide his name, and the real and fake demon cats in Ma Weiyi almost had a big fight at that time.
"You can call me Su Cheng."
Kukai picked up the teacup, raised it and said, "Venerable Su, I don't know what you have to teach when you come to Ximing Temple?" ”
"Originally, I wanted to go to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to read the scriptures, but since I met you, I wanted to ask you for advice. Then why are you in this temple? ”
Su Cheng smelled the light aroma of tea coming to his face, and he didn't want to pick up the teacup with his forepalm at all, but used his divine sense to roll up the pale red tea soup in the teacup and suck it into his mouth like a small tornado!
The tea is refreshing and refreshing, and this Puti tea is best used to relieve greasyness.
"The little monk has been placing orders in Ximing Temple since he arrived in Chang'an from Dongying, which was the place where Master Xuanzang lectured and translated the scriptures, and our foreign monks came here and were accepted."
I see!
Su Cheng suddenly realized that this was a gathering place for monks and students in the Tang Dynasty, no wonder there were so many foreign monks.
"Do you understand the Dharma of the Western Regions?"
"A little proficient, the world's Buddhism is a family." Kukai quietly looked at the black cat opposite, trying to figure out what was going on, and a faint sense of anticipation rose in his heart.
Even in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty in the Eastern Soil, the scriptures are extremely precious.
Su Cheng looked at Kukai and said in a deep voice: "I have a volume of scriptures that I want you to help translate, and the reward is the scripture itself, but please don't spread the content!" ”
Having said that, he hid his killing intent deep in his heart.
Although preaching in all directions is a great merit, Su Cheng doesn't want to be that kind of great sage.
Even if it is passed out, it will not affect him, he himself does not rely on the body refining method to gain a foothold, but just wants to use the body refining method to improve his last shortcoming.
Kukai dabbled in the strange heart, and said solemnly: "The Buddha is above, and he will never spread it without the consent of Venerable Su!" ”
In fact, the big temples in the world have brooms to cherish themselves, and the scriptures that are passed down among believers and ordinary monks are different from those of the monks of this temple, and some scriptures can only be read by the most core people.
Su Cheng didn't want to be heard by others, so he directly used his divine sense to pass on the magic technique obtained from the demon cat white dragon to Kukai.
"The great heart of the Bodhisattva is strong and cannot be destroyed like Vajra..."
"All knots do not move troubles, like Mount Vajra, which is not moved by the wind..."
"All insects come to bite, and there is no loss, it is a vajra heart......
Every word!
Although it is only a body refining method, it contains the truth of Buddhism!
Kukai was like a treasure, carefully chewed every word in this formula, carefully comprehended all kinds of mysterious Buddhist principles in it, looked up at Su Cheng and said: "This volume of "King Kong Demon Suppression Skill" is vast and profound, and it takes a lot of time for the little monk to carefully understand it. Venerable Su can go to the East Pavilion of Bodhi Temple, where is the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of Ximing Temple. ”
After finishing speaking, he sat on the futon with his eyes closed, immersed in the exercises in his mind, and was fascinated.
Su Cheng has never had a heart for the Buddha, nor is he a person who is related to the Buddha. Obviously, I have read it many times carefully, but I have not gained anything, and I don't understand the cultivation method in it, it is too obscure and too stream-of-consciousness!
Now Kukai is directly immersed in it, completely ignoring the movements of the outside world.
It is impossible to count on others in everything, Su Cheng is going to make two preparations, to catch a big monk to help him do the analysis, and save Kukai from doing things in it.
There are thousands of monks' houses in Ximing Temple, which are scattered around the temple, and you can see monks from various countries.
Su Cheng was walking on the edge of the temple when the sound of a wooden fish caught his attention.
The monastery looked shabby, with only a monk in a robe holding a bead in one hand and tapping it lightly with a wooden fish hammer with the other, chanting Buddhist scriptures in a low voice.
He looked around and found that several rooms were uninhabited, so he quickly built an illusion and strolled in!
"Meow~"
Jingyin's hand holding the Buddha beads suddenly stopped, and when he opened his eyes, he found that there was a swarthy cat squatting in front of the futon where he was meditating and chanting, and he was curiously playing with the wooden fish on the mat with his paws.
The demon cats in Chang'an City have long been spread, even if the net seal is in Ximing Temple all the year round, it is often heard that the believers who come to burn incense and worship the Buddha chanted.
But he never expected that this demon cat would appear in front of him.
Obviously very frightened in his heart, Jingyin tried to overcome his fear and said, "What is this benefactor doing to find a little monk? ”
Su Cheng lightly left a paw print on the wooden fish, and said in a human voice, "I want to send you a creation." ”
It was a young male voice, and it sounded very serious.
If you close your eyes, you won't find out that it's a cat!
At the moment, Su Cheng has not yet refined the horizontal bones, and his speech is just using illusion, imitating the voice of his own deity in the previous life.
"The little monk has decided to accompany the ancient Buddha of the green lantern in this life, and I ask the donor to forgive me." Jingyin wanted to refuse, he stayed away from the rest of the temple just for penance, and he didn't want to have anything to do with a demon cat.
"This is a hand-me-down scripture related to the Buddha, if you help me analyze it in detail, you will be allowed to practice as well. Don't think about refusing to fool me, you don't want the rest of the monks in this temple to be captured by me, do you? I heard that the monk meat is quite delicious. ”
Su Cheng deliberately licked his tongue, revealing an expression of wanting to eat people.
The Buddha said that if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell!
Jingyin clasped his hands together and looked embarrassed: "The little monk is only shallow in his studies, and he may not be competent." ”
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Su Cheng didn't bother to argue with him, and directly transmitted the "King Kong Demon Suppression Skill" to Jingyin's mind.
As a result, the monk immediately covered his head with his hands, roared in pain, and two streaks of blood flowed from his nose!
"Oh no, forget that this monk is just an ordinary person, and he can't withstand the impact of divine consciousness."
Kukai's easy acceptance of this exercise just now made Su Cheng confused, thinking that ordinary people could do it.
Jingyin gently brushed away the blood stains with his hand, and he said slightly weakly: "This is the secret inheritance of the Dharma protector that has been lost for many years in my Buddhism, how can it be in your hands?" ”
"Don't care how I came here, you now have a good understanding of this exercise, I found different people to participate in the enlightenment, if you have different results, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless, and it will be your fault to bloody Ximing Temple when the time comes!"
"How can this same scripture be understood differently?"
Su Cheng didn't pay attention to this question, he turned around and jumped out of the window, turning into a cloud of smoke and disappearing.
This small monk's house has been shrouded in illusion, and unless the net seal can be broken, it can only stay in the room obediently.
