Chapter 305 The whole city recites the scriptures, and the lord of the country asks for a plan
After all, Xitu is the Buddha's domain, and when the monks such as Master Sanzang preach the scriptures, they have long been worshipping the devout disciples in the Sai country, and as soon as they received the news, they did not wait for dawn, so they dragged their families to Jinguang Temple.
It is shocking to see those monks who have committed evil kowtowing and confessing their sins, one by one.
Soon, the news spread at the gate of Jinguang Temple.
For a time, the whole city was lit up, and men, women and children all came to the outside of the temple to see.
It was the lord of the country who heard about this and ordered: "The curfew will be lifted tonight, and additional personnel will be sent to maintain order in the whole city." ”
If something like this happens, it is impossible to say that there is no chaos.
In the capital of Nuoda, it is naturally impossible for all to be good, that is, in this Jinguang Temple, there are so many evil monks, how to enter outside the Buddhist temple... In fact, it is also predictable.
But after all, ordinary people still account for the majority, and seeing this situation, Fahai even let the Wujing Eight Dao spirits occupy all directions of the city and recite Buddhist scriptures.
The kung fu of reciting the scriptures and the great sage can be described as two extremes.
If the recitation of the scriptures by the great sage makes people go crazy, the scriptures that come out of the mouth of Wujing almost make the whole city temporarily press down on their restless hearts, gradually return to calm, and each find a place, sit in place and listen quietly.
If some scriptures are basic, they can still be chanted together, and the sound of chanting is getting louder and louder, as if there is a magical power that lingers in the ears of everyone, so that those who obviously do not understand the scriptures can even open their mouths together.
Although they did not know what these verses meant, they could feel that their minds were being cleansed and their souls were being sublimated.
And some people seem out of place.
Under the sound of the brilliant Buddha, or the face is hideous, or crying bitterly, or insensitive, etc.
Wujing kept them in his heart one by one, this generation has a lot of evil deeds, and after listening to the scriptures of persuasion, it is naturally like this, and their retribution is indispensable.
And the Great Sage also came back from the Criminal Department and said to the master in the main hall: "Master, sure enough, according to the trial documents recorded by the Criminal Department, the first two generations of monks in Jinguang Temple were rarely kind..."
"I'm afraid the paperwork is not true." The master shook his head and said, "Maybe there are still many ministers in the court who colluded with the monks of Jinguang Temple, and at this moment, they are putting the monks in prison and making them dead on the grounds of the loss of the relics... The black cauldron made the monks carry it, and these high-ranking officials took advantage of it to get out. ”
"This..."The Great Sage still lacks such intrigue experience, and at this moment he listened to Master's words, and his expression was not good: "Master, this sacrificial country is in the middle and middle of the country, I'm afraid it has already rotted into a mess, you will preach the scriptures tomorrow, but you want to punish you?" ”
"Amitabha." Fahai recited a Buddha horn and said: "The scourge of this country's court has long been deeply rooted, and the teacher is just a monk, although there is some mana... But there are some things that are also powerless. ”
Bajie scratched his head when he heard this, and said in his heart: It is rare for the master to be so difficult, that is, in the daughter country, the master was able to turn around open-mindedly and leave in style. But I don't want to sacrifice in this country now, but I have made a difficulty.
"You don't have to worry." Fahai said with a smile: "The scene in the country is not noticed by the teacher alone, and the change of dynasty is not the work of my generation of monks..."
"Do you remember Mr. Ziyu?"
The Great Sage saw it, so he nodded and said, "Mr. Teacher in the thatched house on the outskirts of the city." ”
"How are his students?"
"It's not a rich family, but a cursory look at the past... They are all tenacious students, and their future prospects are not small. ”
"Mr. Ziyu doesn't go to teach anywhere else, but he comes here to preach and teach... What he can do as a teacher is to recite a sutra tomorrow, so that he can save the country by maintaining his disciples until they truly become talents and enter the world. ”
The Great Sage asked again: "What if these Confucian scholars are useless and hopeless to save the country?" ”
"The evil hidden under the prosperity and splendor, may be hidden from the eyes of Erlang Zhenjun?" Fahai asked Wukong rhetorically.
The Great Sage first shook his head, meaning that the national conditions of this sacrificial country naturally couldn't be concealed from Erlang Zhenjun, and then nodded and said: "In this way, presumably Erlang Zhenjun will also make a move." ”
Fahai smiled: "I still remember when I was in the Flame Mountain, Erlang Zhenjun once said that instead of suppressing the thoughts of the gods of the Heavenly Court... It is better to guide reasonably, so he intends to make a reasonable plan, that is, to let the immortals in the heavenly court, in their spare time, reincarnate in the nether realm, one can be regarded as a tribulation of cultivation, to solve the disasters of the world, and the other can also release the dull resentment accumulated in the heavenly court. ”
"That's a good idea." The Great Sage said with a smile: "Especially those generals who are holding back in the sky, they only let them illuminate the world, but they can't fight in person, I don't know how much resentment they have chosen." ”
"But... If the star enters the world, the killing will rise, and in the end it will be the people who will suffer, whether it is a blessing or a curse, who can say clearly? ”
This...
In the future, the Great Sage will not be able to continue.
Though all men of the world have one death.
However, war is a disaster, and it often creates the soul of unjust death, which is not included in the end of life, so it is said to be a murderous karma.
In the eyes of the Heavenly Court, this is the reincarnation of humanity and the inevitability of the replacement of human dynasties.
But from Fahai's point of view... On the contrary, he did not have a firm enough stance to participate in it.
It is precisely because of this that he faintly understands why the Bodhisattva is a Bodhisattva, because the Bodhisattva saves not only good and evil, but life.
As a result, he also admired the Bodhisattva even more, and the Bodhisattva can save the good and give up the evil.
And Fahai can't reach the realm of the Bodhisattva for the time being, so the Bodhisattva told him to concentrate on doing a good job of subduing demons and eliminating demons, punishing evil and promoting good.
Because the people came early, Fahai did not hesitate to mana, he flew into the clouds, sat on the top of the Lingyun Tower, by the light of the Buddha, also joined in the chanting of the Buddha, with the sound of the Buddha of Fahai, although it was a cold night, but the people of the city were warm physically and mentally, such as the warm sun.
In the sound of Buddha, the sun rises in the east.
There was already a sacrifice to the lord of the country, leading the concubines and ministers to the Jinguang Temple, and the monks of the Jinguang Temple who were locked in the prison back then.
It was also Master Sanzang who brought back the relics and washed away their grievances, and the ministers were afraid that they would be released first, and they would talk nonsense in front of Master Sanzang, so they took advantage of the dawn to bathe and change their clothes, and then let them eat and drink enough, and then led them to come with them.
When the lord of the country saw Master Sanzang sitting on the top of the tower, he also sighed in his heart.
This is what the monks of the Celestial Empire should see, and then look at the "monks" of their own country... That is, I was in prison for a few days, and now I look a little thin, but in the past, I was white and fat, and I was full of wealth... What real Dharma can there be?
This is also strange.
Yesterday, the great sage also muttered to a few senior brothers, saying that this sacrificial country has a Buddha treasure relic, and this heart of the Buddha is probably not as good as the monk in the treasure elephant country... The monks there do not have the Dharma, because the Buddhist scriptures of other people are made up by themselves, not real Buddhist classics, so it is naturally difficult to cultivate the Dharma.
But people's hearts for goodness are not discounted.
And the scene of the Jinguang Temple in front of them opened their eyes to the master and apprentice.
Wujing, who was originally dedicated to the west, now has a little pessimism, saying: "In the past, it was just said that the closer you are to Lingshan, the more powerful the demons will be... But I didn't expect that the closer to Deling Mountain, the monks in this temple were all deceitful. ”
"Senior brother, you said that with this kind of Dharma, even Xiniu Hezhou can't come to it... Master just retrieved the Tang Dynasty, what is the use? ”
The Great Sage only replied to Wujing with one sentence, "Are the useless Buddhist scriptures?" It is a person who recites the Buddha. ”
In a word, it was called Wujing Mao Sai to open suddenly.
There is a saying in the world that says it well - the so-called sword gives to heroes.
If the weapon falls into the hands of ordinary people, it has peerless brilliance, and it will disappear from the world after all.
Just like this Lingshan Buddhist scripture, it is a waste to fall into the hands of these mediocre monks, if the master is asked to study and comprehend it, it will definitely be the blessing of the Three Realms.
After the lord of the sacrificial race country and the concubines of the ministers were seated, Fahai began to preach.
What Fahai is talking about is not sticking to one of the Hinayana and Mahayana, let alone boring scriptures, but taking the Heart Sutra as the general outline, combining the teachings of Hinayana and Mahayana, and then drawing on his own understanding of his journey to the west, he depicts a vision in his own heart in an easy-to-understand colloquialism.
The Dharma is so advanced that even the great sage has to be seriously comprehended, that is, it is taught to the people, how can they understand the profound meaning of it?
Naturally, the simpler the better.
It is better to say that Fahai is talking about his own perception of Buddhism.
On the contrary, it is even more fascinating, so that the whole city is immersed in it, unable to extricate themselves.
The relics may also have sensed the profound Buddhism of the "Sanzang Master", and they did not hesitate to show their own brilliance, and even through the Buddha voice of the "Sanzang Master", a lot of golden lotus was born in mid-air, and then bloomed out of the Buddha's Yao, turned into petal flower rain, fell into the body of everyone, and melted into it.
Those with old diseases will recover immediately; Those who are in good health are more healthy...
After the lecture ended, not only ordinary people, but also many dignitaries, concubines, and ministers were also inspired by the Dharma and repented continuously.
Even many evil ministers simply knelt in front of His Majesty and confessed for a while what they had done in the past.
There are even some evil people who hide in the capital, who directly draw their swords and kill themselves, and live shamelessly in the world.
Standing in all directions, Wujing could see clearly that many of these people had strange expressions when they chanted last night... But there are still very few wicked people who are more interested in the goodness of the Dharma.
Although it was only the first time to hear Master Sanzang preach, his demeanor had undoubtedly conquered all the subjects of the Saisai country.
Even many concubines who came with them to listen to Master Sanzang's lectures wanted to set up a Buddhist room after returning to the palace for chanting scriptures and praying for blessings.
"The word golden light is not good, it is not a long-lived thing: gold is a flowing thing, and light is a burning breath."
Fahai said at the top of the tower: "Because there are two sin dragons pressed under the tower, this temple will be changed to Fulong Temple, and you will be taught to exist forever." ”
"Master Sanzang" Buddha said mantra, and everyone just applauded.
Even His Majesty stroked his hands and praised: "Golden light turns into a dragon, a new name and a new atmosphere... Very good, very good. ”
Fahai flew down, landed in front of the temple, and waved his hand, and the handwriting on the door plaque was changed: "Zhenguo Fulong Temple"
"The poor monk has seen Your Majesty."
"I don't dare to be worshiped by a high monk." The lord of the country hurriedly turned sideways and stretched out his hand to help.
Fahai still seriously finished a Buddhist ritual before he raised his head and said to the lord of the country: "The poor monk was ordered by the Tang King to go to the west to learn the scriptures. This trip passed through your country, and the special things returned to the lost owners. Now that it's over, my master and apprentice are about to travel west, and I asked Your Majesty to sign this customs clearance document. ”
After finishing speaking, Wujing took out the customs clearance document and presented it to His Majesty.
"Well said, well said." His Majesty accepted the document and said: "I also invite the holy monk to enter the palace for a while, first, the holy monk and apprentice came from afar, and the widow has not had time to entertain him, and he has been rude; Second, it is also a widow's big seal in the palace, and he does not carry it with him... Moreover, the holy monks should also use some fasting for a day to preach. ”
Gollum –
Needless to say, I also know that this is Bajie's stomach ringing in response.
Even so, Fahai did not follow the lord politely.
Although the lord of this country is not a Ming monarch, he is far from being a faint monarch, at most he is a mediocre monarch... The government of a country is actually in the hands of the ministers, he only has to enjoy the glory and wealth, and he generally doesn't have to worry about those state affairs.
The last one to act like this was the lord of Chechi.
But the lord of Che Chi Kingdom is purely lazy, and the ministers he uses are also capable ministers, which is naturally fundamentally different from this passive and blessed lord of the sacrificial country.
The lord of the sacrificial race country entertained the masters and apprentices in the palace Qilin Hall.
I had only seen Master Sanzang before, but now I see that the four disciples behind him have their own characteristics... After asking about the origin of the names of several high-ranking disciples, he was full of praise for everyone's supernatural skills.
Guanglu Temple has already prepared a banquet for the extension of the food, the lord of the country invited Master Sanzang to sit on the table, the great sage and the little white dragon sat on the left seat of the side head, and the monk of Zhu Bajiesha sat on the right seat of the side head, all of which were vegetarian fruits, vegetarian vegetables, vegetarian tea, and vegetarian rice.
The lord of the kingdom also sat at a table, which was supposed to be a meat feast, but when he came back after listening to the scriptures, he commanded him to fast today.
The head of the country originally prepared 100 seats for the ministers, but he didn't expect that after listening to a scripture, more than half of the courtiers in the court confessed on the spot... That is, the lord of the country wanted to pardon them first, and they themselves could not agree, so they ran to the prison one by one and asked the criminal department to lock them up.
After the secretary of the criminal department locked them up, he also took off his black gauze hat and court clothes, and called a few honest officials to put themselves in prison.
Later, the prison officials also instructed the jailers to bring pen and paper and confess their crimes.
For a while, everyone panicked.
The so-called upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, and these ministers of the court and the central government have not been spared.
If it is from the bottom up, it is often easy to be cut off in the middle.
But if it's the other way around, it's from top to bottom, and after this rope is brought out, how much can it be implicated, it's really uncertain.
Most of the officials of the imperial court have fallen, how can the remaining officials still have the heart to come to His Majesty's banquet?
The lord of the country also knew that this matter was not trivial, so after entertaining the Tang monks and apprentices to fast, he covered the customs clearance document with a big seal, and returned it to Master Sanzang, and sincerely asked: "Why did the holy monk teach me?" ”
