Chapter 145: It Turned Out to Be a Disciple of Medicine Buddha (Part 1 of the Second Watch)
Xiangyun asked: "Master, how exactly do you do this ceremony to the ancestors?" β
"I don't know much about that. How did you do that before? If there is a ready-made plan, you can refer to it. β
Xiangyun found a book in the storage bag "Ancestor Worship Rituals".
Yan Zixiu looked at it and felt that it was too complicated and required a lot of manpower.
He said: "The ancients said: Respect is better than fate, fate is not as good as sincerity, sincerity is not as good as self-confidence. At present, the sect is at a low ebb, and the ceremony is still as simple as possible. It's all about sincerity and self-confidence. Let's hold a small proclamation ceremony for all mortals in the sect to participate. β
"Respectful, obedient, sincere, confident?" Xiangyun and Lan Meng carefully tasted it. It seems that one layer is more than one layer above.
Xiao Zhaoxia asked: "Big brother in charge, do you still need to be respectful when you are confident?" β
"Absolutely. If self-confidence is followed by disrespect, it is called conceit. β
Chaoxia tugged at her pigtails, thoughtful.
"Elder Xiangyun, which of the two stone statues that Chaoxia went to pray for yesterday is the patriarch? What is the name of the patriarch? β
"Master, you don't know the name of the ancestor?" Xiangyun asked strangely.
"Should I know? It's my first time here. β
"The founding patriarch of our Medicine Master Sect is the Medicine King Venerable. He is the one standing among the two stone statues. β
Yan Zixiu felt that he was about to get close to the truth, and his heart trembled slightly: "What about the sitting statue?" β
"It seems that the head of the sect really doesn't know much about the Medicine Master Sect. The sitting image is the master of the patriarch. β
ββ¦β¦ Master of the Patriarch, that is? β
"According to the patriarch, it is the Medicine Buddha. Medicine Buddha is the lineage that the patriarch taught him in his dream. β
Yan Zixiu suddenly realized, so it was! It turned out that the master of his adventure was Medicine Buddha! It turned out that he was the same as the Medicine King Venerable, and he was taught in a dream!
He hurriedly flipped through the relevant scriptures in the Xianfu Scripture Building, found a copy of the "Medicine Master Liuliguang Rulai Wish Merit Sutra", turned a few pages, and saw that the Medicine Buddha had made twelve subtle vows when he was walking the Bodhisattva Path.
He was more aware in his heart, no wonder there were twelve towering jade pillars on the green jade platform of the first time he entered the Immortal Mansion, no wonder there were twelve immortal palaces in the Immortal Mansion, and no wonder there were twelve gold stars on the Qiankun Ring. Isn't this all a reminder of Master's 12 vows?
Yan Zixiu patted his head, hey, he only cares about doing good deeds diligently, and he is a little relaxed about the study of the internal classics.
At this time, the [Treasure Building] of the Immortal Mansion Treasure List has been updated:
γScripture Buildingγ
Internal Codes Department:
1. This text: "The Medicine Master Liuliguang Rulai Original Wish Merit Sutra"
2. General Texts: "Huayan Sutra", "Heart Sutra", "Yoga Teacher Treatise"
Yan Zixiu silently experienced the 12 great vows of Medicine Buddha in his heart, and found that every wish was something he was willing to do in his heart, and it could also give sentient beings temporary and ultimate happiness.
Walking with the master made him finally find his place, and he felt extremely calm in his heart.
In his spiritual world, there seemed to be some shining companions surrounding him at a moderate distance. Everyone is doing a similar business for the benefit of life, and at the same time, they are watching each other from afar.
This means that although he is still an ordinary being, he is also a member of the Medicine Master Sea Society.
That's a big takeaway.
However, this is not easy, because most people practice as others tell them how to practice. Although these people have teachers and Taoist friends in reality, their spiritual world is very lonely. The overall presentation is a difficult mode of going it alone.
He said to Wuwu in his heart, "I understand what you and Master mean. What do you mean to tell me directly, I'm not impressed. β
The truth that you work hard to find will be cherished.
The scriptures that are sent to the door and the scriptures that have been painstakingly retrieved from the west can be the same degree of attention?
Carefree giggled a few times, looking very relieved and satisfied.
Yan Zixiu thought again, although hundreds of thousands of years have passed, he and Venerable the Medicine King are still brothers. Senior brother's sect, you have to take good care of yourself.
"Boss? Master? Xiangyun saw that Yan Zixiu didn't speak, so he tried to ask.
"Oh? Yes! Just now I heard you talk about the origin of the patriarch of this sect, and I felt a feeling, so I was a little distracted. Yan Zixiu explained.
"What do you think?"
"I won't hide it from you, from the perspective of the Dharma lineage, Venerable Medicine King is my senior brother."
The Venerable Medicine King, who founded the sect hundreds of thousands of years ago, is the senior brother of the head of the sect?! Several people were a little confused.
What should we say about this generation? Even if it is a thousand years old, it will be hundreds of generations.
Although it is bizarre and inconceivable, they believe that Yan Zixiu's words are not false.
Not to mention anything else, which of the Qiankun ring, auspicious cloud pocket, and bundle immortal rope of this head can be taken out casually?
What's more, for his benevolent mind and high demeanor, everyone can see and admire him?
Yan Zixiu knew that they were a little embarrassed, so he smiled and waved his hand: "This generation, each has its own opinion." By the way, Elder Xiangyun, what is the origin of this sitting statue and standing statue? β
"The sitting statue was erected by the founding patriarch himself, and that mountain peak is also the place where the patriarch practiced after obtaining the Dharma in his dream. The statue of the patriarch was erected by his descendants after his ascension. Xiangyun said.
"I see. Why don't we go to the stone statue of the patriarch and have a second look. Let's set a specific agenda for tomorrow. Yan Zixiu proposed.
"Okay."
The four of them rode the four white clouds to the peak in the middle again.
They descended in the plaza halfway up the hill and walked up the steps to the stone statue.
Before arriving at the stone statue, Yan Zixiu tidied up his clothes, respectfully bowed to the seated statue of Medicine Buddha for nine times, and made three deep bows to the standing statue of the Medicine King.
One is a master and the other is a senior brother.
Xiangyun, Lan Meng, and Chaoxia all bowed to the two stone statues nine times.
Yan Zixiu did not interfere with them. Because this is spontaneous respect and gratitude, not a reluctant courtesy.
"Elder Xiangyun, I have some doubts. The left hand of the Medicine Buddha statue turned out to be holding something? β
Xiangyun said with some shame: "Yes, the master." The Medicine Buddha statue holds a pear branch in its right hand and a medicine bowl in its left hand. But the medicine bowl was stolen not long ago. β
Xiao Chaoxia was silent.
"Stolen?! When did it happen? Yan Zixiu and Lan Meng were a little surprised.
"It's been more than a month, thirty-three days to be exact. The person who came was very clever, and there was no movement in the process of stealing. When Xiao Zhaoxia made an offering, she found that the medicine bowl was gone. β
Yan Zixiu and Lan Meng glanced at each other, didn't this point in time happen to be the moment when the spatial rift appeared?
Is it just a coincidence?
Why was the medicine bowl in the hand of the Medicine Buddha stone statue stolen here, and there was a spatial crack over there?
Yan Zixiu started the Time Retrospective Technique to check it, and found that there was indeed a figure from the Momo Lake who flew down, took the medicine bowl from the hand of the Medicine Buddha stone statue, laughed a few times, and flew away.
Behold the direction of the departing, which is the southwest.
His time retrospective technique, looking at the past of mortals and low-level immortal cultivators, is very clear, this time it is actually a model lake. Indicates that someone should have caused some interference.
This person stole something and laughed wildly, and Xiangyun, as a Jindan period monk, was unaware of the whole process. It is speculated that this person must be a monk above the Yuan infant stage, or a treasure who has some kind of concealment of his aura.
"Elder Xiangyun, what immortal cultivation sect is there in our southwest?"
"Could it be that the head of the house has seen something?" Xiangyun is ashamed of his incompetence, and he doesn't even know anything about the loss of the medicine bowl.
"I have a special method, and after someone stole the medicine bowl, I ran southwest."
