99. Water and land puja, brocade robe, nine tin Zen staff
Wei Shuyu met with the abbot of Jinshan Temple, and made it clear that His Majesty had let the monks of Jinshan Temple enter the palace to preside over the water and land puja.
When the abbot of Jinshan Temple heard this, his face showed great joy, if the Buddha Gate entered the palace and satisfied His Majesty, this would be able to consolidate the foundation of the Buddha Gate.
"Protector of the country, the old man thinks that Jiang Liuer can enter the palace to preside over the water and land puja."
"Jiang Liu'er? Chen Guangrui, Chen brother, son Chen Jiangliu? ”
"Yes, exactly!"
"Although Jiang Liu'er is still young, his Buddhist attainments have surpassed those of the monks in the temple." Although the abbot of Jinshan Temple has a headache for Jiang Liuer's ruffianism, he has to admit that his Buddha nature and Buddhism attainments are the best in the Tang Dynasty!
"Okay, let Jiang Liu'er preside over it."
"Protector, please wait, the old man will go and call Jiang Liu'er."
The abbot of Jinshan Temple instructed Shami to go to find Jiang Liu'er.
After a while, Shami hurriedly ran over, "Abbot, Senior Brother Jiang Liu, he is not in the meditation room......
"What about the main hall?"
"Not in the main hall either."
"Look everywhere in the temple, or go to the back mountain."
Jinshan Temple dispatched dozens of novices before finally finding Jiang Liuer in the back mountain.
Jiang Liu'er is holding a tree, dead or alive, obviously... It's the fear of a person.
Wei Shuyu walked to the back mountain with a smile, and saw Jiang Liu'er, who was hugging the tree and not letting go, "Good nephew, I haven't seen you for a long time, but do you remember your uncle?" ”
Chen Jiangliu's face changed suddenly, and he said stupidly: "Uncle... Uncle Wei. ”
"Good nephew, come to my uncle, let my uncle see how it has changed over the years."
Chen Jiangliu swallowed two mouthfuls of water, carefully let go of the tree, and walked slowly in front of Wei Shuyu with great reluctance.
Wei Shuyu looked at the sixteen or seventeen-year-old little Tang Seng in front of him, and had to say that he had perfectly inherited his father's handsome appearance, and even outperformed the blue!
A good skin!
Wei Shuyu looked at Chen Jiangliu, who had a cautious face, and couldn't help but think of the bad taste ten years ago, and stretched out his hands again, ravaging the face of the little Tang monk fiercely.
"Made! I knew it! ”
"Ahh Yes! ”
"Dad, come and save me!"
Xiao Tang Seng shouted loudly in his heart, and his body was about to retreat, avoiding Wei Shuyu's face-pinching power.
When I was a child, I couldn't hide from it, but now it's completely different!
Just when Xiao Tang Seng was about to hide, Wei Shuyu leaned over in his ear and whispered: "At the behest of His Majesty, a strict investigation of eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling will be launched in Chang'an for a period of three months, then Zhang San is your subordinate, right?" ”
"He doesn't have a very strict mouth, and he confessed to you in two or three sentences."
Wei Shuyu looked at Xiao Tang Seng with a wicked smile, "You don't want your father and mother to go to prison to catch you, right?" ”
Sure enough, when Chen Jiangliu heard this, his body couldn't help but stagnate, and he didn't dare to retreat and dodge at all, "...... Damn it! ”
Chen Jiangliu could only let Wei Shuyu pinch himself... The face!
"I haven't seen you for a long time, it's still so cute, Brother Chen has given birth to a good son."
After a long time.
Wei Shuyu walked in front, Chen Jiangliu followed behind, covering his face with both hands, his face was extremely ugly, "One day, you will never be able to pinch me again!" ”
After Wei Shuyu found Chen Jiangliu, Jinshan Temple became busy.
The abbot of Jinshan Temple, with a group of old monks, began to prepare for the water and land puja with ritual utensils, incense, etc.
By noon, fifty or sixty old monks and more than 100 middle-aged monks had entered the palace.
Chen Jiangliu even changed into a brand-new monk's robe, bright red.
The appearance of the young Tang monk jumped on the paper.
In the evening, Sanskrit sounds have begun to sound everywhere in the palace, and Sanskrit incense bursts.
Chen Jiangliu presided over the water and land puja, and the Dharma and Taoism were still quite high, crossing people during the day and ghosts at night.
Nine days above.
Guanyin Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva, and Lingji Bodhisattva were still watching, seeing that the golden cicada had extremely high attainments in Buddhism, and the light of Buddha nature flashed all over their bodies, and finally nodded with reassurance.
"Just wait for the end of the water and land festival, and the Tang Emperor will give it a seal!"
……
Headquarters of Chang'an Chamber of Commerce.
Wei Shuyu knew that Jin Chanzi would be watched by Buddhism when he presided over the water and land puja in the palace, and he had no chance to act, so he left the palace.
Banquet for old friends at the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce.
Qin Huaidao and Fang Yiai did not go to Anping, but managed the Chamber of Commerce in Chang'an, so that fresh blood could flow through Datang and then gather all over the country.
The cultivation of the two has not been left behind, each has its own inheritance, and now it is the middle stage of the true fairyland!
Compared with Cheng Chumo, who is in Anping Prefecture, practicing immortal dao and martial arts, the progress is slightly faster, and now he is already cultivating in the Xuan Immortal Realm!
A dinner party did not talk about the things of the heavenly immortals and saints, but more of a homely affair.
In the evening, Wei Shuyu and Wu Meiniang walked side by side on Chang'an Avenue.
The lights are bright, and the bustling Chang'an Night Market has just begun.
The merchants, literati and writers who came and went all enjoyed the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
Everything seems prosperous and beautiful.
But Wei Shuyu clearly felt that behind this beauty, a looming calamity was obviously surging.
The moment the golden cicada entered the palace, the catastrophe surged.
Time flies, eighty-one days pass in a blink of an eye.
The Palace Land and Water Festival has lasted for 81 days and has finally come to an end.
Li Shimin is free of ghost harassment, and he has also nourished his spirit and is full of energy.
On the eighty-second day, the morning dynasty.
Hundreds of civil and military officials are located on both sides of the main hall.
The abbot of Jinshan Temple and Chen Jiangliu are also in the main hall, waiting for the reward.
Li Shimin was in a very good mood and was ready to enshrine Chen Jiangliu as the master of Jinshan Temple.
Obviously, even if Chen Jiangliu completed the 81st Water and Land Festival, it was not so important in Li Shimin's heart!
After all, it was Wei Shuyu who accompanied him into the Netherworld Mansion to solve the ghost troubles!
And just when Li Shimin was about to enthrone Chen Jiangliu, a burst of shouting sounded outside the palace.
"Sell robes, sell Zen sticks."
"I've sold robes, I've sold my Zen staff."
Wei Shuyu stood in the row of Guogong, listening to the shouting outside the hall, and couldn't help sneering in his heart, "I really don't have a brain." ”
"If you are still teaching the Fa in Chang'an Huasheng Temple, you can sell robes and Zen sticks, but this is the palace!"
"The Tang Dynasty Chang'an Imperial City is heavily guarded, and even a wild mosquito flying in has to be investigated, you actually sold robes to the palace? ! ”
On the throne, Li Shimin couldn't help frowning.
Below, cold sweat flowed from the forehead of the abbot of Jinshan Temple, "Which monk is this, who sneaked into the palace?" ”
When Cheng Yanjin heard this, his face also showed anger, and he shouted, "Who is guarding the palace gate?" How dare this guy be so derelict in his duties? ”
"Yu Guogong, it's... Be... Childe of Silence. ”
Cheng Biting Jin's eyes widened, he stepped back and waved his hand, "That's fine." ”
Seeing this, all the officials in the court shook their heads helplessly and smiled, "Cheng Biting Jin, this old splash!" ”
"Sell robes, sell Zen sticks." The cries continued.
Li Shimin endured his anger and ordered: "Bring the people who sold the robes in the palace, and I want to see what kind of robes they are selling, and they are actually sold to the palace!" ”
After a short time, the Praetorian Guard brought two monks, one old and one young.
An old monk and a young monk walked to the main hall, their faces were extremely plain, without the slightest fear.
Wei Shuyu secretly operated the Terran Heavenly Eye, and his eyes were attached with a layer of golden light.
An old monk and a young monk have a faint Sanskrit light on their bodies, "Guanyin... Manjushri! ”
The golden cicada sensed the deepest part of the sea, sensed a wisp of familiar breath, and the true spirit slowly opened his eyes, "Made, it's this guy who is neither male nor female again." ”
Li Shimin sat on the throne, staring at an old monk and a young monk with a flat gaze, and said loudly: "What kind of robe are you selling?" How much is a tael? ”
"The poor monk sells brocade robes and nine-ring tin staffs!"
"The robe is worth 5,000 guan, and the tin staff is worth 2,000!"
The old monk's voice fell, and all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked by this price.
"Why don't you grab it?"
"Ordinary robes, ordinary Zen staffs, at most worth the same money, go to the sky!"
"How dare you speak?"
Obviously, the old monk asked for a sky-high price, which immediately attracted the attention of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military and Li Shimin.
"What's so special about your robe that you dare to sell it so expensive?"
The old monk chuckled lightly and pretended to mean deeply: "There are benefits, there are disadvantages, there are places where money is wanted, and there are places where money is not needed." ”
"What's good? What's bad? ”
The old monk said: "Wear my robe, you will not fall, you will not fall into hell, you will not suffer from vicious hardships, and you will not encounter the disaster of tigers and wolves, which is a benefit." If a monk who is greedy for lust and misfortune, who does not fast or abstains, or an ordinary man who slanders the scriptures and slanders the Buddha, it is difficult to see the true face of my robe, this is not good. ”
"What do you mean by money? What does it mean to not need money? ”
The old monk said: "Those who do not follow the Dharma and do not respect the Three Jewels want to buy this robe and tin rod by force, and they will definitely sell him for 7,000 yuan." If you are a philanthropist and take refuge in my Buddha, I am willing to give this robe and tin staff to him, without taking a penny, and make a good relationship with him. ”
The words of this old monk can be described as extremely mysterious, which actually aroused the curiosity of the Manchu Dynasty.
Cheng Biting Jin was also anxious, and hurriedly said: "You said it so well, take it out and take a look!" ”
"yes, take it out and see."
The old monk smiled mysteriously, and took out a brocade robe and a nine-tin Zen staff from behind him.
As soon as the robe and Zen staff were taken out, the hall was full of laughter.
What?
The tattered robes were full of pudding, and the Zen staff was also made of wood, which was extremely shabby.
This is clearly rags!
Li Shimin's face also sank suddenly, he thought he was a monk, but he didn't expect it to be a swagger.
But who knows, above the main hall.
The abbot of Jinshan Temple has cultivated Buddhism all his life, and he is a real destined person, and he can see the true face of the robe and the Zen staff at a glance, and the jewels are extremely luxurious.
The abbot of Jinshan Temple is a Buddha, and he has never seen such a good baby, "What a good baby, what a baby!" ”
On the side, Chen Jiangliu also looked at the luxurious robe, "The baby is indeed a baby, but it must be a pit!" ”
Wei Shuyu has the eyes of the human race, and naturally he also saw the true face of the robe, at most it is inlaid with gems, how can the real effect be so evil as Guanyin said, otherwise Xiao Tang Seng would not have been captured by the monster so many times!
On the throne.
Li Shimin originally wanted to cure the old monk for the crime of bullying the king, but when he heard the words of the abbot of Jinshan Temple, he was stunned, "He can see that this is a treasure?" ”
"Isn't it a deception?"
Li Shimin is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, how can he admit that he is blessed? Some people can see the true face of the robe, but as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, they can't see it......
Li Shimin couldn't accept it.
Li Shimin's eyes couldn't help but look at Wei Shuyu, "Shuyu, what do you think?" ”
Wei Shuyu walked forward respectfully and said seriously: "Your Majesty, this robe Zen staff is indeed not bad. ”
"The minister's family has a little money, so he spent 7,000 yuan to buy this robe and Zen staff."
"It just so happens that the Jiangliu monk has made a great contribution to presiding over the water and land puja, so he gave it to the Jiangliu monk."
On the side, the old monk and the young monk nodded with satisfaction. He said silently in his heart: "Very good, this kid from the Wei family is very good!" ”
Wei Shuyu knew that since Guanyin and Manjushri had come in incarnation, no matter what today, this robe and Zen staff were to be sent to the hands of the golden cicada, why didn't he push the boat down the river and buy it in front of Li Shimin and hundreds of civil and military officials!
Money, must be given, this is bought by Wei Shuyu!
Wei Shuyu chuckled, "I also asked this master to put on a robe for Master Jiang Liu." ”
The old monk did not refuse, and slowly stepped forward, and together with the young monk behind him, he put on a robe for the golden cicada.
Chen Jiangliu looked at Wei Shuyu, with helplessness in his eyes, "Can't you go through it?" ”
Wei Shuyu gave a look back, "You think you're talking." ”
In the depths of Chen Jiangliu's knowledge of the sea, the true spirit of the six-winged golden cicada has not fully recovered, and there is not much mana in his body, so he still does not dare to resist in the face of Guanyin and Manjushri.
I had to put on a robe and hold a Zen staff.
After the brocade robe is put on, it immediately emits a glow, golden light flashes, and pearls.
The Jiuxi Zen staff in Chen Jiangliu's hand also showed its true face, shining with golden light......
"Shhh
In the main hall, all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty gasped.
"It's really a treasure!"
"It's really a baby!"
Even Li Shimin stood up, a little incredulous.
At this time, an old and a young monk in the hall had disappeared.
Above the main hall, colorful clouds rise, the Buddha light is bright, the Sanskrit sound bursts, and the fragrance is fragrant.
The two Bodhisattvas Guanyin and Manjushri finally showed their true bodies!
Seeing that it was actually a true Buddha, the Chinese military officials and Li Shimin all bowed respectfully and saluted, "It turned out to be the Bodhisattva Guanyin and Manjushri who are compassionate and compassionate." ”
Wei Shuyu looked at Li Shimin on the top of the main hall kneeling and bowing, and couldn't help sighing in his heart, "The backbone of the human race is gone......
Guanyin and Fuxian stood on top of the colorful auspicious clouds in the air, and slowly spoke: "This robe, the dragon is draped with a wisp, so as not to be devoured by the Great Peng; The crane hangs a trace, and it has to be extraordinary. But where you sit, there is a pilgrimage of all gods; All actions, there are seven Buddhas with you! ”
"This tin rod is made of copper and iron to make nine rings, and the nine immortal vines will stay forever. I am tired of looking at the green bones and thin at the beginning, and I will go down the mountain and bring the white clouds lightly. The five ancestors of Maha traveled to the sky, and Luo Bu found his mother to break the ground. Do not stain the red dust and filth, and like to accompany the monks to the Jade Mountain. ”
When Emperor Tang heard this, his face was overjoyed, "It's really a good baby!" ”
Guanyin boasted of the treasures of Buddhism, and then began to get down to business.
"Emperor Tang, do you know why you are haunted by powerful ghosts?"
"It's really the Tang Dynasty monks of the Eastern Soil who indiscriminately killed and killed them, and they can't be exceeded" after death."
"The Eastern Tang Dynasty only has Hinayana Buddhism, and it can't overcome the ghosts."
Emperor Tang asked: "Master Guanyin, is it possible that there is still Mahayana Buddhism that can overcome the ghosts and ghosts?" ”
Guanyin's body emitted Sanskrit light, and the Sanskrit sound of Buddhism continued to sound: "The Tang Dynasty is a ceremony, and there are wonderful texts in the West." The journey is 108,000 miles, and the Mahayana is diligent. This scripture returns to the kingdom and can surpass the ghosts. If there are those who are willing to go, seek the golden body of positive fruits! ”
Emperor Tang listened to Guanyin's words, his face moved, "If you can retrieve the true scriptures of Mahayana Buddhism in the West, wouldn't there be no more ghosts and ghosts in the eastern land?" ”
"Bodhisattva, I can send someone to the West to learn scriptures, but who is better?" Li Shimin asked again.
"Those who wear my robe, all laws will not invade, and those who hold my Zen staff will be blessed by the Buddhas, and they can go to learn the scriptures!"
"In the Western Lingshan, there is a collection of "Law", talking about the sky; "On the Treatise" is a collection, speaking of the ground; "Sutra" is a collection, and it is a ghost. There are a total of 35 parts of the Sanzang, and the 15,144 volumes are the scriptures of cultivation and the door of righteousness and goodness! ”
Sanzang Sutra, talk about the sky, talk about the earth, cross the ghost!
"I hope that the Tang Emperor will retrieve the true scriptures as soon as possible, cross the creatures who are still struggling in the sea of suffering, accumulate immeasurable merits, and not fall into hell after death."
