Chapter Eighty-Five: The Golden Cicada is Punished
West Niu Hezhou, Elysium.
The peak of Wanzhang towers in the sky, here is extremely light, the flying stars can be seen, and the starry sky of the universe is raised up. This is the highest place in Xiniu Hezhou, also known as Lingshan.
Behind the Lingshan, an ancient temple exuding a simple atmosphere stands behind the mountain. Above the ancient temple, there are three words in capital letters in the seal of the Heavenly Dao, "Leiyin Temple".
If Jiang Chen saw the layout of this Lei Yin Temple, he might be surprised. This place is very similar to the layout of "Lingtai Fangcun Mountain" and "Leaning Moon Three-Star Cave"!
At this moment, in the Leiyin Temple, the Buddha is sitting on the top of the nine-grade golden lotus, slowly reciting the Buddha's voice. Under the main seat, the eight bodhisattvas, the four vajras, the five hundred aras, the three thousand revelations, the eleven great rays, and the eighteen garans are arranged in two rows, all standing or sitting on the lotus.
The sound of the Buddha rolls, with ** power, supreme mystery. Everyone was immersed in the sermons of the Buddha. But at this time...... Suddenly......
"Whew...... Whew......"
There was a slight snoring.
Although the snoring was very faint, those present were all those who had cultivated deeply. How can you not hear?
"Amitabha Buddha ......"
With the interruption of the Buddha's voice, the Buddha slowly recited the Buddha's name, and suddenly, a burst of ** force penetrated to the ear of the person who snored. The man's head was clear.
“...... Buddha, the golden cicada is here!" the man hurriedly looked up.
The Buddha looked at the handsome monk dressed in white, and seemed to sigh slightly:
"Jin Chanzi, have you ever listened to me?"
"This ......"
Jin Chanzi paused, and then said with some weakness: "...... Under the wonderful voice of the Buddha, the golden cicada is suitable for the Buddha, and he deeply feels the greatness of Buddhism. I couldn't help but fall into a dream......"
"What a golden cicada, able to talk about drowsiness so wildly. If you don't listen to the Dharma and despise my great teachings, what sin should you be guilty of?"
Seeing that the Buddha was serious, Jin Chanzi immediately panicked: "Please forgive the little monk's sins." ”
The Buddha turned his head slightly and looked at the Guanyin Bodhisattva next to him: "Guanzi Bodhisattva, what do you think should be done with the golden cicada?"
When Guanyin Bodhisattva heard this, his heart suddenly became clear, and he said lightly: "Buddha, since the golden cicada does not listen to the teachings, it proves that his heart is not ethereal. In this case, it is better to degrade its true spirit and reincarnate it in the eastern land. For example, under today's road, my Buddhism should be greatly prosperous, and there is still a lack of a spirit child in the east who can be cited as a scripture learner. If the golden cicada can take on this heavy responsibility, he can atone for his sins and become a Buddha on the ground. ”
The Buddha nodded slightly, and when the golden cicada heard this, he was stunned.
What's the situation!?
"Wait, please spare the little monk. The little monk is cultivated by the golden cicada, and it is not easy to achieve Buddhism alone. Don't let this be ruined!" the golden cicada was absolutely unwilling.
Although he also knew that if he could succeed, he might be much more successful than he is now. But...... Not to mention that there are thousands of difficulties and dangers on the way to the west, involving the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, it is easy to die. Although Buddhism is about to flourish, it is not yet known when this "soon" will be.
It may be hundreds of years, but maybe thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of years...... It's all possible. So the golden cicada is naturally unwilling.
If the Buddha did not reply to the golden cicada's words, his fingers pinched. After a while, he suddenly frowned slightly.
"Buddha?" Guanyin Bodhisattva was slightly stunned when he saw this.
"It doesn't matter. ”
Rulai tilted his head slightly, looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva, and said after a while: "Guanzi Bodhisattva, although the golden cicada despises my teaching, it is not easy to read it in its practice. This is too harsh to condemn Dongsheng Shenzhou. ”
"This?" Guanyin Bodhisattva couldn't help but be stunned.
Isn't that the same as saying yes?
He said that he needed a "scripture learner" to help Buddhism preach and bring Buddhism to the four continents.
All of a sudden, the rhetoric changed.
Before Guanyin Bodhisattva could speak, the Buddha said: "Even so, if the fault of the golden cicada is not punished, it will be difficult to show the majesty of our teaching. Anyway, today's lecture will be over, the golden cicada and the Guanzi Bodhisattva will stay, and all the Buddhas will leave. ”
"Good, good, good. ”
"Amitabha Buddha ......"
All the Buddhas nodded and said the Buddha name, and then they drove the Buddha's light and left one after another.
"The Buddha is merciful, I don't know what to do with the little monk?" asked the golden cicada a little tremblingly.
"Don't be too nervous. Golden Cicada, Guanzi Bodhisattva, do you know that a dojo has recently appeared in Xiniu Hezhou. ”
“...... Dojo?" Guanyin Bodhisattva couldn't help frowning and asked, "My Western Sect occupies Xiniu Hezhou, and according to the time of the opening of the heavens, I don't know how many years have passed. Although the two sect masters of Zhun Ti and Zhi Yin have passed away and left this Pure Land of Bliss. But Xiniu Hezhou is still the only one in my sect, who is so bold and dares to preach in Xiniu Hezhou?"
"Amitabha. This person has profound morals and vast magical powers, don't say it's me, even the two sect masters have to retreat from three points......"
"This ...... Could it be ......" Guanyin was slightly startled.
The only people who can make the Buddha have such an attitude, in addition to Zhun Ti and Yin, I am afraid that there are only the three saints in the East......
"In that case, I don't know which saint came to teach me?" Guanyin Bodhisattva couldn't help asking.
"I don't know. But since that person opened his door in Xiniu Hezhou, he led people to go to apprenticeship. I'm afraid he is the only one who does this......"
"The stakes are very high, and the whereabouts of the saint are hidden under the heavenly way. If we push too hard, I'm afraid it will be self-defeating...... That's fine. Jin Chanzi, this time you despise the Dharma, although you are exempt from the responsibility of learning scriptures, but if you do not punish you, you will be ashamed of the majesty of our teaching. In that case, let me punish you to go to that man's ashram and ask in. ”
"This ......!" this time it was not only Guanyin, but even the golden cicada was taken aback.
The golden cicada was originally the incarnation of the first golden cicada in heaven and earth, although it was only cultivated as a Taiyi Golden Immortal. However, he also lived a long time. Naturally, he knew the meaning of what he said.
This is that the two religions of Buddhism and Taoism want to quarrel, and as a result, they have to let themselves collide with the Taoism. It's like using yourself as cannon fodder!
"Buddha, do you want to ...... Why don't you let me learn from it?"
Jin Chanzi thought about it carefully for a long time, and felt that it was easier to learn scriptures than to provoke the saints......
Rulai's face suddenly became a little serious: "The words have been spoken, how can there be any reason to change them?" If you can't worship at that man's door this time, you will be punished for a new sin. ”
"Buddha...... All right. Jin Chan obeys the law......" Jin Chanzi said reluctantly.
Then he turned into a Buddha light and fled.
