Chapter Seventy-Three: Three Years of Retreat
In the Miyin Temple, there is a meditation room that has not been opened for two years.
At first, the monks didn't care, after all, monks like them occasionally visited a mystery in the Buddhist scriptures, and it was normal for them to retreat for ten days and half a month, and occasionally even for several months.
However, this little junior disciple named "Fahai" has been in retreat for a long time this time, beyond everyone's imagination.
Half a year, one year, two years......
During this period, the willow tree at the entrance of the meditation room has gone through several reincarnations, from the windward rise to the withering branches, and the long fallen leaves with small and withered leaves are piled up in the courtyard, but they exude a vigorous vitality.
Pei Wenxian came to visit his younger brother several times, but was stopped by Zen Master Lingyou every time. In the face of the eminent monks who have great prestige in the government and the opposition, Pei Wenxian can only retreat helplessly.
Prime Minister Pei Xiu heard about this, and although he couldn't get out, he also sent several letters asking about his children's situation. Even the current emperor Xuanzong inquired about this matter, after all, Ji Game was a monk in place of his son, and his merits were huge.
What is amazing is that Zen Master Lingyou, who has not left the main hall of the Miyin Temple for a long time, personally went to the imperial capital Chang'an to explain this matter.
After meeting Pei Xiu and Xuanzong, Zen Master Lingyou also held several Dharma meetings in Chang'an, preaching the Dafa of Zen Buddhism while spreading the news that Ji Bo is a son of Buddha all over the world.
Pei Xiu, as the prime minister of the dynasty, was an honest official and had strict ethics, and wrote a lot of prefaces to Buddhist classics, and was praised as "true Confucian" by Xuanzong, and praised by Zen as "Hedong Master".
Ji Game as his eldest son. At a young age, he won the champion and was named Hanlin by the emperor, and his name was full of Chang'an. A few years ago, because the prince was ill for a long time. Pei Xiu personally sent his son to become a monk, and he was even more respected by the royal family.
"Hedong Dashi, there is a son Wende, the champion Hanlin, sent into the empty door, the achievement of the great weapon, the Buddha on the ground!"
This proverb suddenly spread throughout the Tang Dynasty after Zen Master Lingyu left Chang'an. From the royal family and nobles to the children in the market, they all know the son of the prime minister. Master Fahai!
Vaguely, Ji Game has not yet become a teacher, and he is already in Zen Buddhism, and has been talked about by countless eminent monks.
Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions in the south. There is a dilapidated old temple. I don't know the name, but behind the temple, there is a cave full of spiritual charm.
A hazy, unclear figure floated among the barren mountains.
She was all white, shrouded in a dreamlike mist from beginning to end, like a demon, exuding a charming aura.
His waist-length long black hair exudes a crystal fragrance and a graceful posture. The waist is like a thin willow, not a grip. This is probably the most slender waist in the world. Gently swaying, outlining the most charming arc.
But the most frightening thing is her strange pupils that glow green in the darkness. It's like a demon from hell, condensing the deepest yin poison of thousands of lifetimes.
Falling from the sky and gently falling into the cave, the woman waved her bare hand, and from her wide and delicate cuff lace, a small cyan fish blooming with jade light had fallen into the spring water of the spiritual pond in the cave.
The whole body of the small fish is like a cyan jade carving, crystal clear, and full of aura. A pair of beautiful eyes looked at the snow-white beauty by the spirit pool, revealing a burst of gratitude.
"Thank you sister for your help, otherwise Xiaoqing would have become a dish on those human tables. ”
"You and I are both demons, so why should we be so polite. But looking at the purity of your demonic energy, your cultivation is not much different from mine, how could you fall into the hands of those mortals so easily?"
"Those monks who are not Zen Buddhism kept saying that they would subdue demons and subdue demons, dissolve Xiaoqing's ninety percent of demon qi, and put Xiaoqing into the Yangtze River, but they were unlucky and were caught by human fishing nets. ”
Speaking of this, the little cyan fish was a little indignant, and made a little splash with its delicate and small tail in the spirit pool.
The woman smiled softly when she heard this. Probably because she returned to her home, she gently uncovered the misty white veil covering her jade face, revealing a stunning face that captivated the country and the city, with jade skin and fairy posture, and a slight powder.
The white plain clothes are quiet and elegant, and the whole body exudes a fairy aura that the demon does not have, just like a fairy in the sky descending to earth, the empty valley is beautiful, rich and slender.
"Sister, you are so beautiful, compared to you, Xiaoqing is much uglier!"
"Xiaoqing, you can practice with me in the future, since you call me sister, I will also recognize you as a sister. Thinking that with the nourishment of the spiritual pool, you will be able to restore all your cultivation in a few years. ”
"Sister Xie Lu, there are many, Xiaoqing still doesn't know the name of Sister Lu Dao. ”
The delicate and beautiful little fish like green jade swam around in the spirit pool, and they were very intoxicated to enjoy the process of instilling rich spiritual energy into their bodies and restoring their growth bit by bit.
"My sister's surname is Bai, and her name is Suzhen!"
"Bai Suzhen, it's just a nice name, it's not like Xiaoqing, it's an uneducated ...... when you hear it"
Bai Suzhen listened to Xiaoyu's words, with a shallow smile on her beautiful jade face, sitting on the edge of the spiritual pool, her slender hand gently shaking the spring water, and her expression was serene.
At this time, her eyebrows froze, and Yurong looked at the south in confusion, as if in that place, a person or something that made her mood fluctuate came out.
In the Secret Seal Temple, Ji Game has been in retreat in the meditation room for three years since he received the inheritance of Lingyu Zen Master's heart seal.
Langzhao universe is the eye, including all things are hidden!
The Buddha's mind and eye reach the truth and wisdom, and its name is "Dharma Eye", so it can penetrate the endless "hidden" of the reality and all virtues.
The so-called "Dharma Eye Collection" is the so-called "Buddha's insight" in the Lotus Sutra, the inconceivable and indiscriminate Nirvana of the Buddha's enlightenment.
The heart seal transmitted by Zen Buddhism also refers to the supreme Dharma mentioned by the Buddha. It's just that only the heart seal of the patriarch handed down by Bodhidharma contains such profound Buddhist principles and Buddhist principles.
Although Weiyangzong is the most powerful sect among the five leaves of Zen Buddhism today, the essence of the heart seal passed down is still several grades lower than that of the patriarch's heart seal.
In the three years of retreat, Ji Bo has basically comprehended most of the twelve kinds of Buddhism and Buddhism.
In the sea of knowledge, four of the twelve groups of Buddha light are telling the mystery of the "Nine Seals of the Past Life", from Nanyue Huairang, Matsu Daoyi, Baizhang Huaihai, Lingyu Zen Master's four inheritance, Ji Game also has a clear understanding of the magic handprint of Amitabha Buddha.
The nine grades, the wisdom and merits of the Buddha, have different depths, and can be divided into upper, middle, and lower three grades, and three lives, which are combined into nine grades.
This is a Buddhist sect to transform the supernatural power of people from other ways, and if you cultivate to the first grade of the high-grade "Mida Dingyin", you can turn a hell into a pure land of Buddha in a single thought. Moreover, every enlightened person, or demon, will be the most devout Buddhist from now on, and there will not be the slightest hint of betrayal in his heart.
According to the realm of the nine grades, the effect of this type of Amitabha Buddha's seal is also different.
The lower grade of the ninth grade is born and sealed, and it takes twelve eons of time to be able to turn a person into a Buddha.
According to Buddhist scriptures, one small eons is 16.8 million years, twenty small eons are one medium eon, and four middle eons are one major eon.
Based on the calculation of Ji Game, the specific time of the Twelve Tribulations was obtained in an instant...... 16.128 billion years!
He felt that his face was stiff and even paralyzed. I'm afraid that only the Buddha can live for such a long time, and the rest, even the two ancestors and three emperors, will be dumbfounded by this time.
Fortunately, with the improvement of the realm, the time of this magical handprint will also be drastically shortened.
When it comes to the lower grade of the eighth grade, it will only take six great tribulations, that is, 8.064 billion years.
Ignoring these two realms for the time being, Ji Game counted the lower grade of the seventh grade and the upper seal, and the result made him very happy.
Seven or seven days, that is, forty-nine days!
That is to say, as long as he cultivates this magic power mudra to the realm of the seventh grade, if Hua Qingyu does not do anything to resist and cast a spell by him, he will be able to transform it into his own Buddha protector after forty-nine days.
"Duhua, to put it nicely, it's clearly slavery, Buddhism Dafa, it's really ......"
After Ji Bo understood the true meaning of this secret method, he suddenly shuddered in his heart, if someone used this trick against him, I am afraid that he would not be him a long time ago.
I think of the kind of Dharma protector who is intact in mind and mind, but who is a fanatical believer in the Dharma. Ji Bo suddenly understood why they wanted to use this type of Amitabha Buddha's handprint as the most fundamental secret method in their hearts.
As long as someone in their vein can cultivate to the realm of the seventh grade, not to mention the unification of Zen Buddhism, even if it is the integration of the eight major Buddhist systems of the Central Plains, it is only a matter of time before the thirteen sects of the Buddha Kingdom are integrated.
Compared with this trick of "Nine Seals of Death", the remaining eight kinds of Buddhism and Buddhism in the heart seals are undoubtedly the magical powers of pediatrics.
The palms of both hands are facing outward, the right hand is facing up, and the left hand is making a fearless seal to the bottom, which is the seal of the wish that represents the lower quality.
The thumbs of both hands are then bent together with the tips of the ring fingers to make the seal of the next life. The combination of the two seals is the nine-grade seal of the next grade.
Just after making a standard gesture, Ji Bo only felt that his mental power seemed to communicate with the eternal Buddha Dharma Body in the underworld, and the almost infinite amount of power gushed out with his handprints.
Between the palms, a trace of fine golden light particles lit up, reflecting on Ji Bo's body, outlining the solemn appearance of the treasure. A force that seemed to be pleasing and convincing spread with the light......
"Fahai!"
Just as Ji Bo was trying to test the Nine Seals of the Past Life that he had cultivated in three years of retreat, outside the meditation room, a familiar and unfamiliar Buddha name came into his ears, which was compatible with the heart seal in his sea of consciousness and woke him up from the deep realm of meditation.
