Chapter 122: Oh no, disaster is coming!
The elder brother went to the South China Sea to invite Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Xiao Bailong was instructed by the master to go to the Baoxiang Buddhist Temple to write a war book.
Although Master said that he should bow down... But in the eyes of Xiao Bailong, it is actually a war book.
Besides, where is there a prayer post, not to come to the door yourself, but to ask someone out?
However, Wanzi Mountain is indeed a good place, and the master has just surpassed a righteous god in the heavenly court there, could it be said that this time it is the turn of the true Buddha of the Buddha Gate?
Xiao Bailong received instructions from his master, and he also knew why when he went to Baoxiangguo Temple before, he saw that this Baoxiangguo Temple was heavily guarded, and there were no people sacrificing incense.
It turned out that the king of the Baoxiang Kingdom was worried that the demon Buddha would bewitch the people, so that the people would sacrifice their virgins and girls, so he specially sealed the Baoxiang Buddha Temple.
But he also remembered that this elephant Buddha was the founding ancestor of their family after all, so he only isolated the people, and only their royal sacrifices... It's not that the incense is broken.
In fact, this king is not small, he not only does not let the people enter to worship, but also easily does not let the monks in the Baoxiang Buddhist Temple go out, for fear that they will spread some words of cholera and popular feelings.
It's been 13 years, but yesterday night... The king received a summons from the abbot of the Treasure Elephant Buddha Temple, saying: This princess of the hundred flowers came back, it was the Buddha who appeared to the spirit, and asked the king to send the sacrifice quickly, otherwise there would be retribution.
At first, the king wanted Princess Baihua to become a monk in the Treasure Elephant Buddhist Temple, but this time he naturally extinguished such ideas.
When the little white dragon heard this, he almost laughed angrily.
If it weren't for the master's refusal, he would have wanted to shoot a gun directly at the door, and put the tip of the gun against the throat of the demon Buddha, so as to ask him, who is manifesting now?
Of course, he can only think about this kind of thing in his mind, and a character like Master, who has always planned and then acted, will never allow himself to be so reckless.
Otherwise, why do you need to let the senior brother invite Guanyin Bodhisattva?
It is also the little white dragon's self-sustaining skills that have risen rapidly recently, plus when he was in Wanzi Mountain some time ago, he single-handedly overturned a star monarch with one shot... Makes him swell up a little.
"Amitabha, the disciple was still slandering the master in his heart just now, it is really a big inappropriate, sinful sin."
Bang Bang Bang –
The little white dragon knocked on the door of the Baoxiang Buddhist Temple, this is the second time he has come to the door, and unlike the first time, this time it is Zhengda and Guangming.
Because there have been no pilgrims coming to the door for many years, even the two disciples guarding the door are a little surprised, more than ten years... It's the first time someone has been able to walk up to the door of their temple and knock on the door.
Could it be that His Majesty has been gracious?
The two gatekeepers didn't really care if there were pilgrims coming to the door, anyway, all the daily food and clothing in their monastery were all provided by the imperial court.
Without those pilgrims coming and going, I was naturally a little unaccustomed to it at first, but then I felt that something was wrong, but it was a little clean. The Buddhist temple, which is a little less pyrotechnic, is also like a Buddhist treasure.
At first, it was not so easy for the king to seal off the temple, but he was also determined to protect the people, and sent soldiers to control several key roads around the Baoxiang Buddhist Temple.
If you have difficulties, you don't ask your parents and officials, and you don't ask him for your father, but you come to ask for Buddha... Does it not mean that there is something wrong with him as a king?
He didn't dare to guarantee that all of his subjects would be prosperous, but as far as he could see, he had to do the best he could, at least to ensure that they were fed and clothed... No matter how much he is, he is also powerless.
It is precisely because of this that although he has worked hard, he still does not dare to pat his chest and say that he is worthy of all the people under his command and is a qualified king.
It is true that he is a king, but after all, when people are strong and poor, many things cannot be done in an all-round way, not to mention that the ministers in the court are not fuel-efficient lamps, which consumes his mental energy.
Because he knows that in places beyond his control, there are still many incurable diseases lurking in the shadows.
Some are natural disasters, some are disasters, and some are just like the area around Wanzi Mountain, which is plagued by demons.
This is also one of the reasons why the king did not hesitate to worship Master Sanzang as the national teacher, and even set up a national temple for him to worship, and also wanted to leave Master Sanzang behind.
After the two gatekeepers opened the door, they saw that the little white dragon was handsome, they were stunned at first, and couldn't help but look at him more, and then looked at the little white dragon with a little impatience, so they quickly restrained themselves and asked, "I don't know what happened to the layman?" ”
"I am a disciple of the Tang Dynasty monk Sanzang Master, my master Xitian passed by the treasure elephant country, and heard that there is a spiritual ivory Buddha in your temple... Therefore, the true Buddha is specially invited to discuss the Dharma on the fifteenth day of tomorrow. Xiao Bailong said, took out the "war book" in his hand, sent it to the two men, and said, "This is my master's prayer, please." ”
The two disciples were still in the clouds, and subconsciously took the "war book" into their hands, and the little white dragon nodded when he saw this: "Since your temple has taken the post, my master will wait for the true Buddha in Wanzi Mountain and leave." ”
After the little white dragon finished speaking, he left without looking back.
When the two gatekeepers reacted, there was still the figure of the little white dragon there. hurriedly chased out to look, but saw that rows of soldiers had already lined up, and in the distance, there was a large inner palace minister holding a yellow silk holy decree and walking far away-
"Not good!"
The two of them screamed, and they didn't bother to close the door and latch, and hurried to find the abbot elder.
First, the Tang Dynasty monks came to write a war book on the Buddha, and then saw the inner palace ministers come to announce the holy decree, as long as they are not too stupid, combined with the current situation of their Baoxiang Buddhist Temple, they can guess that this is not a good thing.
"Abbot, something is wrong!"
The two of them didn't wait for the abbot elder to ask, you said, I told what happened just now, and took advantage of the moment when the abbot was stunned, and sent the prayer post in his hand without leaving a trace, and said: "Elder, this is the worship post sent by the disciple of the Tang Dynasty monk." ”
The abbot elder was not in the mood to take a closer look at it at all. My family knows their own affairs, and they don't have any real materials in this treasure elephant Buddhist temple, and the Buddhist classics in the temple are all passed on from other families, and there is no volume of this school of scriptures... As for the "Elephant Buddha Sutra" passed down by word of mouth among the abbots, it was actually compiled by the first abbot from many Buddhist classics.
The reason why it's just word of mouth and doesn't leave paperwork...
First, it seems mysterious and profound, after all, Buddhism is not lightly transmitted; Second, it is also just in case, not only to prevent mistakes, but also to facilitate modification at any time, but also not to be realistic.
And this generation has been passed down from generation to generation... I don't know how many times it has been changed, after all, each generation of abbots has their own understanding of the Dharma, and there is no paperwork anyway, so they can bring their own personal work into it and pass it on to the next abbot.
For nearly 200 years, the country has gone through nine generations of abbots... In the hands of the abbot of this generation, this "Treasure Elephant Sutra" is already the ninth edition.
Tata Tread –
At this moment, there was a sound of neat footsteps in the Buddhist temple, with a solemn atmosphere.
Under the guard of the guards, the minister strode straight into the courtyard, raised the holy decree with both hands, and raised his voice to shout: "The abbot of the Baoxiang Buddhist Temple listens to the decree-"
The abbot didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly bowed down to the holy decree.
Seeing that the abbot elder still had a number of courtesies, the minister unfolded the holy decree with a brush and began to announce the decree: "Your Majesty said: Today, there are Tang monks passing through our country from the east to the west of Tianling Mountain, one is to learn scriptures, and the other is to promote the Buddha; Baoxiang Buddhist Temple is a national temple, and it should debate Buddhism with the monks of Shangbang and promote the national prestige. A group of monks from the Baoxiang Buddhist Temple can set off to the Boyue Pagoda of Wanzi Mountain to listen to the Buddha's teachings. ”
"Elder, take the order."
The abbot elder took the decree and said, "The poor monk takes the decree." ”
Seeing that the abbot elder was interested, the minister did not use his strength, and led the guards to withdraw from the Buddhist temple.
The abbot elder gritted his teeth, asked all the disciples in the temple to retreat, and entered the main hall alone, and then bowed a few times to the golden body of the Buddha, and kowtowed: "Buddha, disaster is coming." ”
"What's so alarming?" The golden body above the hall appeared in the void, if you look closely, although there is also a human shape, but still retains the ears and nose of an elephant, it is also a half-demon appearance, his tone is a little lazy, it seems that he was still asleep just now, and he was awakened.
"Xu is the Buddha asked for a boy and a girl, and he hated His Majesty the King, and he invited a Tang monk to argue with you... This is a prayer post. The abbot elder presented the prayer post, bowed down at the bottom of the eucalyptus, bowed his head, and said: "The king has decreed that I will wait for the saints of the Buddha Temple to go to the Boyue Pagoda on Wanzi Mountain from now on... Buddha, this is probably going to take us out of the royal city and catch us all out there! ”
"He's so bold!" When the Buddha heard this, he was furious: "This seat has not yet sent retribution to him, but he has dealt with his seat first!" ”
......
The abbot elder over there was reporting to the "Elephant Buddha" what had just happened, and the great sage and the little white dragon had also come back one after another.
The Great Sage told the master word for word the news he got in the South China Sea, but saw that the master's expression gradually became calm and helpless. The Great Sage seemed to see a little disappointment in the master's eyes.
Master, he... Could it be that he is disappointed that this spiritual ivory elephant Buddha is not the true Buddha of Lingshan?
The little white dragon also sighed secretly when he heard it, and it seemed that he had missed the opportunity to fight the demon alone.
"Master, shall we still go to Wanzi Mountain?" The Great Sage scratched his head, such a big battle was just dealing with a little demon... It's a bit loud.
"There's no hurry." Fahai paused slightly, "Let's wait for the little elephant to decide." ”
"What does Master mean by that?" The Great Sage didn't understand.
"You might as well think about it, if it's just an ordinary demon, if you can't blackmail it, you will be calculated... What do you think he's going to do? ”
"Not good." The Great Sage exclaimed and said, "If he is angry, I am afraid that this king's life is in danger, and the disciple will go to guard the Buddhist temple to prevent the demons from causing chaos." ”
When the Great Sage was about to leave, he saw the king coming in a hurry, and his expression was a little flustered, "Holy monk, it's not good!" That Buddha promised to talk to you about the Buddha! ”
All:???
The king took a few breaths and said, "But if she doesn't go to Wanzi Mountain, she will argue with you in the Elephant Buddha Temple, saying that she doesn't want the monks in the temple to hike, and second, saying that this dialectic of Buddhism is a grand event that needs to be witnessed by the subjects of the whole city." ”
