Volume 1 The Back of the Gods and Demons Chapter 1 The Orphan of the Snow Mountain
But it is said that there is a monk on the Yunyu Mountain of Tianzhu Kingdom, which is the Brahmin caste, and it is said that he was born under the tree, his forehead is slightly raised, resembling a dragon's horns, and he is enlightened by a dragon, and the world is called Nagarjuna Monk.
Because of his extraordinary talent, he has the ability to never forget, up to astronomy, down to know geography, proficient in Buddhism and the three Tibetan scriptures, and later familiar with the various schools of Buddhism, but also to Brahman, Taoism, Confucianism classics, also deep understanding, gradually peeked into some of the heavenly opportunities of the gods, although there is no name of immortals, but cultivated some mortals can not be able.
On this day, Monk Nagarjuna sat in meditation at the top of the snowy region of Kanchenjunga, and it was the seventh day. This mountain is one of the three highest snow-capped peaks in the Great Wilderness. At this time, the heavy snow fell one after another, wrapping him thickly in three layers, and everything was silent, and only a large snowflake "rustling" fell on his shoulders.
Stretching for thousands of miles, the snow-capped mountains are in front of you, and this magnificent scenery is really not something that ordinary people can appreciate...... He also gradually got better, and suddenly touched the mysterious realm that I had forgotten, and I couldn't help but rejoice.
Suddenly, a Dapeng bird flew from the opposite Lhotse Peak (the fourth peak of the Great Wilderness), and when it fell, it turned into a human form. I saw an ice sculpture thrown from one of his huge claws—no, it was a young woman covered in thin ice.
That Dapeng is no one else, it is the famous Tianzhu, the prestige of the Dapeng golden-winged bird broadcast in the great wilderness, the Buddha was named the second class Buddha "Sumeru Tianguan Buddha" after Rulai, also known as the Dapeng Venerable.
"Boom! Click—" The Great Roc Venerable opened his mouth and bit the ......, the thin ice cracked, and a three-year-old child fell into the woman's arms. I saw that his little face was flushed, and the tears on his face had long been frozen, as if he was still crying, but he had lost his voice......
On Yunyu Mountain, in the Dalong Temple, in the middle of the night, there was a cry in a small courtyard.
"Mother! Mother ——, dead bird! Let go of my mother! Master! An emaciated child awoke from his dream and shouted. While wiping the child's sweat, Nagarjuna hugged him and whispered, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" Shan'er is not afraid, Master is here, no one can bully you! Child, sleep, Nan no Amitabha! ”
His little hand grabbed a small piece of Nagarjuna's flesh and skin, and the three- and four-year-old child had so much strength out of nowhere, and Nagarjuna's bared teeth had to endure it. The child gritted his teeth and muttered a few words, and fell asleep again.
Nagarjuna sighed, and thought of the tragic scene on Lhotse Peak that day, and his body trembled slightly. Rao is well-informed, and he has never witnessed such a human tragedy. He had also heard about the atrocities of the Dapeng Goldfinch Bird, but he didn't want him to be so cruel, and he had two hearts at once, one was sad and angry, and the other was compassionate.
But he knew that this Dapeng was the uncle of the Buddha Rulai, one of the eighteen protectors of Brahman, and he was once the personal companion and mount of the sect leader, with vast magical powers and profound mana! I heard that he relied on his kindness to the Buddha's mother, and when the Buddha's mother attained nirvana, he asked the Buddha to take care of his "lonely" uncle.
Therefore, although this Dapeng has a bad record, if it is declared, the Buddha has always only spoken and persuaded, and never used thunderous means. Moreover, with the vast supernatural powers of Dapeng, perhaps only a few people such as Rulai still have a chance of winning, and the Monkey King who made trouble in the Heavenly Palace back then was still invincible, and the ordinary Great God Venerable may not be able to surrender.
Seeing that the child's face was already stiff, I was afraid that he would not be able to hold half a stick of incense, and he would freeze to death. Nagarjuna hesitated slightly, took out a piece of highly poisonous Amanita phalloides from his arms, put it in his mouth, used his divine power, and immediately turned into a vulture.
He flew very clumsily, "fluttering" came to Dapeng, and said humbly: "The king is polite, the little god is a vulture here, seeing the king having a meal, he specially entered the middle earth wine Xifeng to age a pot (note: other wine companies are welcome to insert advertisements), thinking that it means filial piety!" ”
Dapeng took the wine and asked while drinking "coo-dong-goo-dong": "Do you recognize me?" Ah——, it's so strong, it's a good wine! "This is a spirit, with a slight spiciness, but after 20 years of mellowing, the aftertaste is mellow and long, and Dapeng is also a knowledgeable drinker.
"King Brahmin Garuda is fortunate to ride the snow-capped mountain, and the Buddha of the Great Peng Venerable is radiant, who doesn't know? The king is really ...... this delicacy It's rare! The vulture swallowed with a "grunt" and said with a flattering smile.
"Haha, you stupid eagle, you still know the goods! As soon as this woman finished playing with me, she slapped me, and I threw their mother and son into the nine-eyed hot spring at the bottom of the mountain, fished it out and took it to the top of this snowy mountain. Warmed up with the hot spring water and suddenly came to the top of the snow-capped mountain, the outer skin was frozen into a thin layer of ice very quickly, but the inside was still hot. Hahaha! Roc laughed.
The vulture got carried away when he heard what he said, his heart sank, and he was busy smiling and praised: "Wonderful, hot and cold, fresh and crispy, what a wonderful thing!" However, although this thing is good, it smells a little fishy, if it is poured with fresh lemon juice, except for that trace of fishy, it is absolutely delicious! Gee! ”
Dapeng eats all the delicious delicacies in the world, regardless of people, beasts, birds, fish and turtles, the diet is more and more exquisite and exquisite, listening to the taste of this vulture is expressive, I can't help but feel the tongue and mouth, quite excited, I can't help but ask: "The snow peak here is at the top, where does the lemon come from?" ”
"O Venerable, you see——, the snow-capped mountain in the southeast is called Nanga Bhava Peak, and there is a warm and moist land at the bottom of the mountain (note: there is no typo here), and there are a few lemon trees, which I picked the day before yesterday, and there are many fruits!" Vulture said.
"Then why don't you go and get it quickly?" Dapeng commanded impatiently.
"Obey the order, I immediately go to the bottom of the mountain to get it, but the small foot is very slow, and it takes one or two hours to travel dozens of miles back and forth, and this thing is the most taboo of the time, the 'sheep' is dead, the meat is frozen, and the taste is not as good as those frozen cattle and horses...... Your Holiness, stay here for a while, I'll go now, I'll come back late, don't blame me, the king! ”
The vulture shuddered, sighed, and turned to flap its wings.
"Then you stay, like you are so sluggish, this is all frozen, what are you eating? Come on, come on, you give me wings to surround this baby, don't let him freeze to death, lose the umami, I'll come when I go! Dapeng said, turned around and wanted to leave.
He suddenly turned around, his eyes were like ice and fire, and he said sharply: "Since you know who I am, of course you know my methods, if you dare to touch my things, I will have to be a 'vulture jelly' or a 'stupid eagle jelly', but I can barely stuff my teeth, haha-" Nagarjuna was swept by this sharp gaze, and couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly replied that he didn't dare.
What a magical power that Dapeng is, if he is not afraid of spending divine power, one wing is 90,000 miles. At this moment, he flapped his wings and disappeared. When it was too late, Nagarjuna plucked a feather and threw it towards the north slope of the Snow Peak, turned back into its original form, wrapped the child in a robe and left.
At this time, the highly poisonous fungus had already begun to attack, and he knew the magic power of this Dapeng, so he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and jumped down towards the southern slope of the snow-capped mountain, only two or three ups and downs, and he had reached the edge of the cliff.
There was a gust of wind and turbulence in the distance, and he seemed to faintly hear the sound of flapping wings in the distance, and the toadstool gave birth to a vision: the Buddha led countless Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and five hundred arhats to worship him together, let him ascend the throne of the Nine Lotus, and ask for the Zen seat for him......
Nagarjuna bit the tip of his tongue, and Lingtai gained a trace of clarity and brushed away the illusion. He rolled over and made a jack fall, flew straight down from the cliff, counted three times, hugged the child and plunged into a snow pit, and his whole body was completely submerged.
The Roc circled around the place pointed by Nagarjuna, and sure enough, there were five lemon trees. I saw his giant wings flicked, more than a dozen fruits into his arms, tasted a bite, sour and eye-catching, and it was really rare in this snowy mountain. He was still thinking about the child on the top of the mountain, and he used his magical powers, but in a moment, he flew back to the top of Lhotse Peak.
At this time, there was no one on all sides, and the vulture had long since disappeared. Dapeng looked intently, and there was a very small thing floating in the wind on the north side of the snow-capped mountain. He couldn't help but sneer, and said in his heart: There are really people who want to eat and die! In this endless ice field and snow-capped mountain, who else but him could see that it was a vulture feather.
Nagarjuna's robe was cut from the dragon skin of the dragon king, not afraid of fire and water, and could withstand the cold, the child actually slept in the snow pit for three hours, and when it was dark, they fled from the snowy mountain.
Nagarjuna sighed inwardly: Amitabha, if this child wakes up and cries, and talks about his little life, even if he himself is afraid that his life will not be guaranteed. He slept breathing long and didn't make a sound in the snow pit of such a snow-capped mountain, what a blessing!
He is not frightened, because of ignorance, I claim to be wise, and I am frightened and frightened, but what is the use of wisdom? The Buddha once said that life and death are empty, wealth is empty, and since everything is empty, what is the use of cultivating the Dharma? If it's useless to practice the Fa, what's the use of teaching the Fa? It's useless to teach the Fa, so what's the use of my generation?
Although death and life are rich and noble in the sky, but all things are born and afraid of death, and heaven and earth nourish all things, which is quite inconsistent with Buddhism......
Why don't I go along with the way of heaven and find another way to reopen the door......
Nagarjuna was in this snow pit, and he became a grandmaster after all. Later generations of disciples called it "Snow Pit Enlightenment".
