Chapter 191: Pre-Meditation and Death
Good water.
Everyone looked at it intently, only to feel that it was as blank as the sea, and the sight was even more boundless.
When the wind rises, it rolls up a thousand layers of waves, and there is no half of the fishing fire at the mouth of the bank, which shows that the river is vicious.
Bajie said to the little white dragon: "Little junior brother, the monsters in this water are usually relatives of your family, you call it twice, ask him to come out and invite us to a water fast, and send us across the river tomorrow morning, wouldn't everything be fine."
Everyone felt justified when they heard this, and the Great Sage also laughed and said, "Yes, it is extreme, it is not a relative of the Dragon King's family, and it is also dispatched by the four seas, little junior brother, I bother you to go down and find a clear one."
"Little brother will come when he goes."
The little white dragon entered the water to search the river, and after a while, he came ashore and said, "Master, this strange thing is not my relative, nor is it under the jurisdiction of the four seas, but it is said that it is the water god of the Tongtian River, and he only said that there is no water fasting, and he will not entertain me."
The Great Sage asked, "Have you given me your name?"
"I reported the name of the third prince of the Dragon King of the West Sea." The little white dragon spread his hands and said, "But people don't buy it."
Bajie couldn't help but smile on the side: "It turns out that there is still a place where the name of your Four Seas Dragon Palace is not good in the water, and the water god of this Tongtian River is probably a big one with a lot of origin, otherwise it would not be able to occupy such a wide river." As Bajie spoke, he pointed to the north, "Alas~ Master, look, why is there a person standing on the shore?"
It was also not true at night, and when everyone walked over, they saw where the person of the eight rings was, and it was clearly a stone tablet, on which it was written that there were three large characters on the stele, and there were ten small characters in the lower two lines. The three big characters are "Tongtian River", and the ten small characters are "Eight hundred miles away, and few people have traveled in ancient times".
The Great Sage looked at the turbulent waves, even if they were powerful people, they didn't have to fight for this breath, so he said, "Master, it's not too early, so let's rest for one night and set off to cross the river tomorrow, how about it?"
"Good." Fahai nodded in response: "Find a place to sleep, and then stop and cross the river tomorrow."
Bajie had just taken two steps when he suddenly pricked up his ears and said, "Master, listen, is it the sound of drums and cymbals there?" If you think it's a fasting person, let's go and eat some fast."
Everyone just wanted to laugh at him, and when they really heard the sound of drums and cymbals, Wujing also smiled and said, "Master, this sound doesn't look like a Taoist musical instrument, is there a monk nearby?"
"Hey." The Great Sage said on the side, "How many Taoist temples can there be in the entire Xiniu Hezhou? Although this place is still under the jurisdiction of Chechi Guoyuanhui County, it has almost reached the border, maybe it is not uncommon to see a believer, if you go west, I am afraid that all of them believe in Buddhism."
Everyone heard the sound, and there was not a single avenue along the way, but all the small roads that were neither high nor low, and they overflowed the beach and saw a cluster of people's dwellings, about four or five hundred, but they also gathered into a village.
Fahai looked at it from a distance and said, "This place is extraordinary, among the four or five hundred families, there are more than ten families who have been protected by the light of the Bodhisattva Buddha, which shows that it is also a good place."
The Great Sage also looked at it with the eyes of the Dharma for a while, and said, "Master really has good eyesight, and he can see the difference at a glance."
"So, we're in the right place." Bajie smiled and said, "Master, let's go faster, the old pig has an empty stomach and is already hungry."
Leaning on the mountain access road, near the river on the bank.
The mountain can eat the mountain, the water can eat the water, although the river is wide, but there are many fish, the year can not be all storms, there is always a time when the waves are quiet.
It is nighttime, the lights are sparse, the people are quiet, and the moon in the sky is like a hanging mirror. After everyone entered the village, they saw a family at the head of the road, a banner was erected outside the door, and there were lights and candles inside, and the cigarettes were fragrant.
It will not go back, it is this family that has a fate.
Bajie was about to call the door in a hurry, and this time he didn't need Fahai's words, so the Great Sage slipped back with Bajie and said, "Idiot, why don't you have a long memory?"
"Oh." Bajie was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I forgot, I forgot, I haven't seen anyone for a long time on this road, and I forgot for a moment that our faces and mouths are ugly, and we are only afraid of bluffing people. If you frighten people, I'm afraid you won't be able to get in."
Bajie went to invite the little white dragon and said, "Little junior brother, you still have to come to this door-calling job."
"Don't worry." The little white dragon patted his chest
He said, "Just wait for me to knock on the door successfully, and then I will call the second senior brother to enter the door to avoid the wind."
The little white dragon tidied up his clothes and walked to the door, but saw that the door was half open and half hidden, and when he was about to knock on the door, he saw a person walking out first, and was about to close the door, when he saw the little white dragon outside the door, he asked curiously: "Who is Your Excellency, and what is the matter with my village?"
"The owner is polite." The little white dragon made a salute first, and then explained the reason: "The five of my master and apprentice went west, and were blocked by a river leading to heaven.
"I don't know if your master and apprentice are cultivating or worshipping Buddha?"
"My master is a high-ranking monk of the Tang Dynasty, and I am a lay disciple of my master's disciple, and I have not yet been shaved, so I don't dress up as a monk."
"Tang monk?" The owner of the village was stunned for a moment, and exclaimed, "The Eastern Earth Tang Dynasty has a journey of 54,000 miles to me. Your master and apprentice really have great perseverance, I don't know where the master is, please go into the village to rest quickly, don't slack off."
When the little white dragon saw him like this, he said in his heart: It is indeed a place to worship Buddha.
Ben didn't have a few steps, and the little white dragon bowed slightly, and let go of the master and the three senior brothers not far away.
The owner of the village saw the Tang monk who was at the head at a glance, and said in his heart that he was a handsome master!
Seeing the three disciples following behind the Tang Dynasty monk at a glance, his heart trembled, and he exclaimed, "Monster!"
Bajie and Wukong glanced at each other, feeling helpless.
Fahai stepped forward and chanted Amitabha, and the ray of Buddha light swirled around the owner, so that he stabilized his mind, and Fahai said broadly: "Don't be afraid, the donor is not a monster, it is my apprentice, but his appearance is a little ugly, but he has the enlightenment of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and he is a good deed."
Kannon Bodhisattva Ignition!?
Bajie came to him, shook his ears, and said, "When others saw my old pig, they all said that they were fat and fat, but they were also ugly and cute."
After Wukong and Wujing saluted the owner, they said in unison, "I've seen the owner."
The owner of the village was skeptical and said, "In that case, I would like to invite all the elders to come in and talk about it."
After entering, the owner of the village called a servant and asked him to lead the guest room, Wujing and Bajie went to place the salute, and the servant trembled, for fear of being eaten by Bajie and begged for mercy from the owner.
Xiao Bailong took the salute from the two senior brothers and said, "Take me with you."
Only then did the servant dare to go.
Along the way, when I walked two steps and met a few people, I exclaimed, and all the words "monster" were called.
The owner of the village was a little embarrassed, and said, "I and the villagers, who have little knowledge and no words, have collided with several elders, don't blame me."
"It's okay, it's okay." Bajie smiled and said, "We are also spirits, and now we are practicing with Master to get a positive result, if you are asked to scream a monster and have a seizure, wouldn't it be bad for your cultivation?"
The owner nodded again and again after hearing this, and hurriedly said, "Elder is generous."
After entering, there were a few monks chanting in the hall, they had already heard the movement outside, and subconsciously glanced back, and at a glance saw the eight precepts who were talking to the owner, what kind of appearance is this?
The mouth is long, the ears are big, the body is thick, the back is wide, and the sound is like thunder. At a glance, I saw the Great Sage and Wujing, these two are not handsome characters, and they were confused with the scriptures.
The three disciples were a little innocent, but they blamed these monks for not practicing much, and they messed up the law. But after all, he messed up the Fa, and only looked at his master, as if he was waiting for reproach.
"Out of the way, out of the way." When the owner saw this, he waved his hand, told the monks to disperse, and said to the master and apprentice: "Don't do the business of the three elders, then turn off the lights, scatter the flowers, and the Buddha will be collected."
"Someone's coming."
The owner shouted.
And some of his servants hurried forward to listen.
The owner commanded, "Clean the hall and invite the elders to take their seats. By the way, I wonder if you elders can use fasting?"
"Never, never." Bajie heard this and said, "When I came to your house with Master, in addition to spending the night, I also want to fast."
The owner also smiled and said, "Since the Buddha is over, it should be full
Come to the scattered fast, and soon call the room ready to entertain the elders."
This village is a regular fast, so come quickly, see the eight precepts are hungry early, everyone does not say much, to the owner of the village after a thanks, then fast.
After eating and drinking, we are ready to talk.
Fahai spoke first and asked the owner, "The donor's surname?"
"Chen."
The Great Sage smiled and said, "Master, I am still the same family as you."
"Master's surname is Chen?"
"The common family's surname is Chen." Fahai nodded, and asked curiously, "May I ask the donor, what kind of fasting do you do?"
When the owner heard this, he suddenly lost his joy and showed a sad look: "It is a pre-meditation fast."
"Pre-fasting?" Fahai frowned when he heard this.
The Great Sage also felt that something was wrong, so he asked the Master to the bottom of the matter: "I have always known that there is a pre-repair to send the treasury and return the fast, where is there a pre-repair of the dead fast? Is it not long before you die?"
"Ahh
Fahai pondered for a moment, and then suddenly spoke: "The donor may have something unspeakable, but since the poor monk has accepted your fasting, even if there is anything difficult, the poor monk will not stand idly by."
"Alas!" The owner let out another long sigh, led everyone to one place, pointed to the two tablets above, and said, "The ritual of pre-cultivating the dead fast is done for them."
Fahai glanced at it and saw that one place said [The position of the youngest son Chen Guanbao], and the other place said [The position of the beloved daughter is a scale of gold], he thought for a moment in his heart and said: "Pre-cultivation, pre-cultivation means that the two of them are still alive, since they are sons and daughters, why do you want to do such a ritual?" Could it be that they have some disease? Even if you are sick, you should pray for blessings, relieve disasters, and dispel misfortune."
Seeing the grief of the owner, Fa knew that he had other difficulties, so he said, "Why don't you take Ling Gongzi and his daughter out and let the poor monk have a look?"
