Chapter 113: The Heavenly King's Palace
On the mountainside of Qingyun Mountain, there is a Buddha hall of 30 zhang high, the Buddha hall is splendid, the glass is tiles, the sandalwood is the pillar, and the Buddha light is immeasurable.
The name of the Buddha hall is the Tianwang Palace, in the middle you can see a golden statue sitting on the lotus platform, bare-chested and exposed, with a big belly, with a string of Buddha beads around the neck, both ears hanging on the shoulders, smiling, it is Maitreya Bodhisattva.
In front of the Tianwang Palace, there is a bell and drum tower on the left and right, and a Buddha bell and a Buddha drum are placed at the top respectively.
Before, whether it was the bell ringing when the mountain gate was revealed, or the drumming that expelled many supernatural beings, it was all made by the bells and drums here.
At this time, on the white jade square in front of the Heavenly King Palace, Duan Yang and his party were gathering here, and a Buddha light barrier was like a strong force through the sky, blocking everyone's way up the mountain.
"Duan Yang, what the hell did you say about this secret realm, put us in, and now they have stopped us here, it's just full of food!"
Zhou Mingxin complained to Duan Yang, if he hadn't seen those fools being blasted out of the secret realm because of indiscriminate destruction, he would have wanted the missile to bombard this wall of Buddha light.
"Since this secret realm has allowed us in, it must have its purpose. The reason why it is not open now is that the conditions have not been met, for example, the number of people who have arrived here ......"
"You mean, we have to wait for the group of people behind, so what are we doing in such a hurry, I think the scenery here is quite beautiful!"
Qin Shaoyan flew up slightly, looking at it from this angle, Qingyun Mountain was even more magnificent and majestic, and the sound of chanting in his ears made people feel calm.
Duan Yang didn't answer, but looked at the stone monuments erected around the square. The front of the stele is engraved with Sanskrit characters, and the back is a picture of some Buddhist stories.
The incarnation of the World-Honored One, the Buddha's enlightenment, the cutting of meat to feed the eagle, the sacrifice of one's body to feed the tiger, and the Nirvana of the World-Honored One, all of the great and small, familiar or unfamiliar Buddhist deeds are expressed in the form of pictures.
"Is the ghost-like text engraved on this stone tablet Sanskrit, what are the things written, will it be related to this Qingyun Mountain!"
Qin Shaoyan stared at those stone tablets, her eyes were glazed, but unfortunately she still didn't see anything.
If the stone tablet was in English, Qin Shaoyan could barely understand it, but now it is all Sanskrit, and Qin Shaoyan can't even understand what words are written on it.
Zhou Mingxin shrugged his shoulders, "Don't look at me, even English, except for the 26 letters, I have returned everything to the teacher, you still expect me to understand Sanskrit?" ”
"Isn't there a monk behind us, why don't you ask him later and see if he knows the meaning of these Sanskrit words!"
"Cut!"
Qin Shaoyan rolled her eyes, "Now those monks may not even be able to memorize all the Buddhist scriptures, you expect them to be able to understand Sanskrit!" ”
"Hey, you read it with such relish, can you be able to understand these Sanskrit? What's engraved on this? ”
Qin Shaoyan ran to Duan Yang, who was looking at the words on the stone tablet one by one.
"Hmm!" Duan Yang nodded and said, "What is engraved on it are the origin, development, and major events of Buddhism, as well as some simple descriptions. ”
Qin Shaoyan was not interested in those Buddhist things, "You really know Sanskrit, is it possible that you still believe in Buddhism, it doesn't look like it!" ”
"Do you have to believe in Buddhism to learn Sanskrit?"
"I am proficient in most of the world's languages from ancient times to the present, including oracle bones, African primitive tribal languages, Mayan languages, Hebrew, Egyptian hieroglyphs, etc., Sanskrit is just one of them."
"Really?"
Qin Shaoyan was deeply skeptical, there are more than 5,000 languages on the earth from ancient times to the present, and there are still many languages that have not been counted, how can anyone be proficient in most of them!
"Fake!"
Duan Yang looked at the stele to himself, and saw that he didn't look at Qin Shaoyan.
After Hui and Qian Duoduo came up, they saw that everyone else was looking at those stone tablets, and then glanced at the Buddha light barrier in front of the Heavenly King Palace, so they also went to see those stone tablets.
As a result, after seeing the words on the stone tablet, Liao Hui's expression was a little unnatural, and he pretended to look at the content of those inscriptions.
Qin Shaoyan's eyes rolled, she ran to Hui, folded her hands and saluted, "Master, my name is Qin Shaoyan, I want to ask the master, what are the things written on these stone tablets!" ”
Lihui looked unfathomable, and in fact, she was about to scold in her heart.
It is true that Hui is a monk, but it is only a profession, and he has not even received the novice ordination.
In fact, if Hui has not even memorized the more famous scriptures such as the Diamond Sutra, the Heart Sutra, and the Lotus Sutra, how can he know what these Sanskrit words mean.
However, Hui X has already pretended to be out, and if he doesn't understand Sanskrit at this time, he won't lose all his face.
"Donor, the little monk has a wise name." Hui returned the salute.
"On these stone tablets, there are naturally my Buddhist scriptures!"
Liao Hui pointed to a stone tablet in front of him, "On this stone tablet, engraved is the "Diamond Sutra", the full name of which is "The Sutra of Breaking the Vajra Prajnaparamita", also known as the "Vajra Prajnaparamita Sutra", which is one of the important scriptures of the Mahayana Buddhism in my Buddhism. ”
"This stone tablet is engraved with the Lotus Sutra, the full name of which is the Lotus Sutra, which is the teachings of the Lord in his later years, and the content of the preaching is supreme, clearly indicating that everyone can become a Buddha regardless of whether they are rich or poor."
Li Huisheng was afraid that Qin Shaoyan would ask him to read out the Diamond Sutra on it, so he hurriedly introduced another stone tablet, otherwise, when the time came, with his half-baked head and the lack of scriptures, he would not directly miss it.
Liao Hui didn't know that with the help of Duan Yang, except for Qian Duoduo and him, everyone present knew what was engraved on these stone tablets.
Liao Hui then introduced those stone tablets to Qin Shaoyan, but at this time, Liao Hui suddenly found that the number of these stone tablets was actually more than the number of scriptures he knew.
"What should I do now, I knew earlier, I would have memorized some more Buddhist scriptures, and no matter how bad it was, I should have memorized the names and brief introductions of some Buddhist scriptures!"
Fortunately, at this time, a few more people with abilities came to the front and back of the Tianwang Palace, plus the mutated white dove, after the white jade square gathered twenty lives, in the sound of a Buddha bell struck, the Buddha light barrier in front of the hall quietly shattered into countless points of light and disappeared without a trace.
"Let's go in!"
After Duan Yang found that the Buddha Light Barrier was broken, he immediately led Yun Xu and his party into the Heavenly King Palace, Qin Shaoyan and Zhou Mingxin glanced at each other, and followed into the Heavenly King Palace.
Li Hui, Qian Duoduo, and the other nine later Abilities waited for Duan Yang and his party to enter the Heavenly King Palace, and there was no abnormality, so they finally entered.
In the Tianwang Palace, the center enshrines Maitreya Bodhisattva, the statue of Maitreya Bodhisattva reaches the top of the Buddha hall, the whole body is cast in gold, exuding a faint Buddha light.
On both sides of the Tianwang Palace, there are four heavenly kings enshrined, namely the king of the country in the east, the king of growth in the south, the king of wide-eyed in the west, and the king of Duowen in the north.
The king of the country in the east, "holding the country" means compassion, protecting sentient beings, and protecting the land, so he is called the king of the country.
The king of the kingdom lives in the silver of Mount Meru, who is white, wears armor, and holds a pipa, which is the main god of music, indicating that the king of Dongzun uses the sound of the law to protect all sentient beings, and is responsible for guarding the Dongsheng Shenzhou.
The Southern Growth Heavenly King, "growth" means to be able to pass on the orders of sentient beings, increase good roots, and support the Dharma, hence the name Growth Heavenly King.
The growth of the king lives in Mount Sumeru, the body is cyan, armor-wearing, holding a sword, and the king of Nanzun is responsible for guarding the southern Ganbu continent.
In the West, "Wide-eyed" means to be able to observe the world at any time with a pure heavenly eye and protect the people, hence the name Wide-Eyed Heavenly King.
The wide-eyed king lives in the crystal of Mount Meru, is red, wears armor, and is the leader of the dragons, so he wraps a red dragon in his hand. King Xizun is responsible for guarding Xiniu Hezhou.
The king of heaven in the north, also known as Bishamen, "smells" to bless, and his virtue is well-known in all directions.
The king of heaven lives in the golden temple of Mount Meru, is green, wears armor, holds a treasure umbrella (also known as a treasure flag) on his right, and lies on the god mouse in his left hand - a treasure hunting mouse, which is used to subdue the demons and protect the food of all living beings. Also known as Shi Caitian, he is the god of wealth in ancient India.
When all twenty people stepped into the palace of the heavenly king, suddenly there was the sound of Sanskrit chanting and bell striking in the nameless place, and the Buddha song resounded in the hall, and the Buddha's light shone.
Outside the Heavenly King Palace, the Buddha light barrier was lit up again, and everyone's bodies froze in place, their eyes closed.
