122 Burning the Zen Temple

Seeing that the fire burned the entire Guanyin Monastery, the monks saw that they could not save it, so they could only move the precious items in the temple to the outside of the temple. After the monks finished moving the well-preserved things, the entire Guanyin Monastery was shrouded in fire and could no longer enter.

The light of the fire here alarmed the spirits in the cave who did not want to leave this place, it turned out that there was no Black Wind Mountain here, and there was a Black Wind Cave on the mountain. There lived a black bear spirit named Xiong Zhen, who was a good friend of Elder Jinchi.

At this time, Xiong Zhen was sleeping, and suddenly outside the cave, it was as bright as day, thinking that it was dawn. When I got up to check it, I was shocked:! It's the direction of the Guanyin Temple, could it be that the Guanyin Temple is on fire? These monks are too careless, I have to hurry up and save them.

After speaking, he set up auspicious clouds and flew towards the Guanyin Zen Temple, and after a while, he came to the sky above the Guanyin Zen Temple, only to see the thick smoke billowing and the flames rising to the sky. I saw that all the monks had escaped from the temple.

Only the old monk Jinchi was trapped in his room, and Xiong Zhen flashed into the house. I saw the old monk holding a colorful robe in his hand and sitting in the room.

Xiong Zhen stepped forward and said: Old friend Jinchi, go out with me, I'm here to save you. Elder Jin Chi opened his eyes and saw that it was Xiong Zhen, his old friend, and said with a smile: That's it, now the old man has seen it.

It was the old man who was wrong, and he was ashamed of the Bodhisattva's cultivation of himself. Amitabha Buddha at this moment, the old man knows that everything is a floating cloud, so let the old man disappear with this Guanyin Zen Temple! This brocade robe was also asked to be returned to the Tang Dynasty holy monk by Xiong Zhen's old friend.

After saying that, he closed his eyes and let the fire burn against his body, and he didn't move. Xiong Zhen took the brocade robe, and saw that Elder Jin Chi was unwilling to save him by himself, and he was helpless. Holding the robe, it turned into a gust of black wind and flew out of the Guanyin Monastery and disappeared.

The fire burned until dawn and was not extinguished until the sun hung high. The once splendid Guanyin Monastery has been reduced to a pile of ruins at this time. Some of the monks who escaped death wept in low voices, and some silently recited Amitabha.

At this time, Sun Wukong also put away the fire cover, and the other monks saw Du Chen, and they all came forward to greet him. They also praised: The monks of the Eastern Tang Dynasty have exquisite Buddhism and profound cultivation. What a miracle to survive the raging fire!

At this moment, a middle-aged monk trotted in front of Du Chen, hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: Holy monk spare his life! Holy monk spare his life! It was all instructed by Elder Jinchi to do it, the holy monk spared his life!

Du Chen said expressionlessly: You can live because of the sins you do in the sky, but you can't live if you do the sins yourself! After speaking, Du Chen turned around and led Sun Wukong and Ao Lie to the group of homeless monks. When he came to everyone and looked at the miserable appearance of these monks, Du Chen was also a little soft-hearted.

But the incident has happened, and it is irreparable, so he said to everyone: You don't have to be sad, this Guanyin Monastery is not necessarily a good thing if it is burned down. Although the former Guanyin Monastery was magnificent and famous.

But it has already violated the purpose of being a monk, and we are monks who are practicing and not here to enjoy happiness. So you don't have to feel bad, I'll find a way to rebuild a temple. Do not be deceived by these things outside of you.

Immersing ourselves in practice, guiding people to be kind, and letting the world see the compassion of our Buddha is what we monks should do. After listening to Du Chen's words, everyone came to a Buddha call: Amitabha! Follow the teachings of the holy monks.

Then Du Chen said to Sun Wukong: Wukong called the land out. Wukong answered, took out the golden hoop stick from his ear and pointed it to the ground. With a local sound, a figure slowly emerged from the ground and said: Little Lao'er has seen the holy monk!

Then he said to Sun Wukong: Great sage! You can tap it! Nearly knocked my old bones apart.

Sun Wukong smiled and said: Hehe! Apprentice, if I don't work hard, can you come out so quickly?

At this time, Du Chen said to the land: Land, can you build another temple from this place? Land Huidao: If it is an ordinary temple, the little old man is not a problem. If it is like the previous Kannon Zen Temple. The little old man was powerless.

Du Chen said: It's just an ordinary temple, and there is no longer a Guanyin Zen Temple here. The land stomped the cane in his hand on the ground, and suddenly the ground on the ground seemed to come to life, and in a short time a temple was completed.

When the monks saw that a temple had been built in an instant, they immediately cheered. Du Chen said to the monks: In the future, you will practice in this temple and do more good deeds.

The monks have performed a Buddha ritual one after another: Amitabha! Please rest assured, we will be a real monk in the future. Then Du Chen let these monks enter this new temple and began to set it up. He took Sun Wukong and Ao Lie towards Black Wind Mountain.

At this time, the monk who took the order to set the fire looked at the new temple rising on the ground in front of him, and felt extremely remorseful in his heart. When the former disciples learned about this, they all turned a blind eye to themselves. blamed himself for listening to Elder Jinchi's slander for a while.

For the sake of some interests, he threw all the merits he had accumulated over the years into the clouds, thinking and thinking about it, this disciple suddenly laughed, and ran into the distance and disappeared without a trace.

Du Chen and Sun Wukong Ao Lie watched the beautiful scenery of the mountains and forests while walking. Like a tourist, half a day came to the foot of the Black Wind Mountain.

Du Chen looked at the beautiful scenery, and Lingyun praised the scenery: This black blind man is quite emotional, and he arranges this Black Wind Mountain like a famous mountain and blessed land. It seems that he is also a tasteful black blind man.

A few people talked and laughed and went up the mountainside, only to see that the scenery here is even more beautiful. But see that: thousands of ravines compete for the stream, and thousands of cliffs compete for the show. The birds are gone, and the flowers are still fragrant.

After the rain, the green wall is moist, and the wind comes to pine and roll the green screen. Mountains and grasses, wild flowers bloom, cliffs; Xue Luosheng, Jiamuli, Junling Pinggang. If you don't meet a ghost, then look for a woodcutter? The two cranes on the side of the stream drink, and the wild apes on the stone are crazy. Standing tall piles of snails row color, towering green lane Languang.

Du Chen remembered that the description of Black Wind Mountain in his previous life was not an exaggeration at all, and before he knew it, several people came to the top of the mountain, and heard a voice coming from a distance, and he saw that it was three monsters preaching.

The man sitting at the top was a black-faced man with a large waist and a round waist, a Taoist on the left, and a white-clothed monk on the right. After listening carefully, it turned out that the three of them were talking about the Liding furnace, sand smelting mercury, and the side door of snow and yellow teeth.

After the alchemy technique was finished, the black-faced man said: The day after tomorrow is my birthday, and the two Taoist friends can come and have a drink with me.

The white-clothed monk said loudly: I come every year to congratulate Brother Xiong on his birthday, how dare I not come this year. It turned out that this black-faced man was the black wind king Xiong Zhen of the Black Wind Mountain, and Xiong Zhen said: I got a treasure yesterday, called Jin Robe, which is really a rare treasure.

Tomorrow, I will take this robe as the finale treasure of the birthday banquet, and I will invite Taoist friends from various mountains to come and appreciate it.

The two of them were overjoyed and said: Tomorrow we will definitely be there to open our eyes and take a look at this precious robe.

At this moment, Du Chen brought Sun Wukong and Ao Lie to the three of them, Xiong Zhen was stunned for a moment, clasped his fists with both hands and said: What is this master doing when he comes to my Black Wind Mountain?

Du Chen looked at Xiong Zhen with interest, and said with a smile: "The poor monk is a monk from the Tang Dynasty in the East who went to the West Heaven to learn scriptures, didn't the old monk of Jinchi, the little black blind man, tell you about the poor monk?"

Xiong Zhen was shocked and said: It turns out that you are the holy monk Tang Sanzang! The old monk of Jinchi told me about you, and asked me to return the robe to you. said embarrassedly: I'm okay, I'll wait for my birthday banquet to come and return it, so that these Taoist friends nearby can open their eyes.

I didn't expect you to come up to Black Wind Mountain in person so soon, you wait a moment. I'll go back and take out the robe for you.

Du Chen looked at such a simple monster and was a little surprised in his heart, and said loudly: "Don't worry, I didn't come here this time to robe. Just wanted to meet you, the King of the Black Wind.

When Xiong Zhen heard this, he immediately became happy, and hurriedly stepped forward to lead Du Chen to the seat, and after a while, a little bear spirit came to several people with tea, poured a cup of tea for everyone, and served two plates of spiritual fruit snacks.

Du Chen looked at Xiong Zhen's simple appearance, and suddenly felt very kind. When I saw him, I remembered the characters in the cartoons I had watched in my previous life, Xiong Daxiong Er.

So he said to Xiong Zhen: You can continue to hold your birthday banquet according to your original idea, and the golden robe will be stored with you first. I'll stay in your Black Wind Mountain for a while, and I'll leave when your birthday is over.

Xiong Zhen was overjoyed when he heard this, his cow had been blown out, and when his friends came to congratulate him on his birthday, he couldn't see the baby robe, so he was embarrassed and thrown to his grandmother's house. immediately thanked Du Chen for his kindness.

Du Chen said with a smile: You black blind man, although you belong to the demon clan, you are simple and kind, and you can hold back your greed in the face of treasures, which is really commendable. I made this friend of yours Tang Sanzang.

If there is anything that can't be solved in the future, you can tell me, I can't do it, and my two apprentices. Saying that, Sun Wukong and Ao Lie shouted in front of Xiong Zhen and said: This is my big apprentice, it is the Monkey King who made trouble in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiong Zhen and the other two goblins were so frightened that they sat on the ground, and said happily in their hearts: I am a grandfather, fortunately I didn't have greed for the robe, otherwise this little life would have been confessed.

Then he said to the three goblins: This is also my apprentice, but for the time being, he is a registered disciple. It was Ao Lie, the third prince of the West Sea Dragon Clan, and the three of Xiong Zhen were shocked. He almost knelt and kowtowed.

Others may only know that the dragon clan is weak, and they are respectful to the gods and Buddhas in the sky. But Xiong Zhen knows some secrets, and his mother said that although the dragon clan has declined, there are still many hidden powers of ancient times.

Although he never came forward, the strength of the dragon clan was still relatively strong. Even the quasi-saints have a few powers. In this era when saints do not come out, the peak of quasi-saints is the strongest in the world.

For example, the Buddha of the Western Lingshan, the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Court, the Zhen Yuanzi of the Wuzhuang Temple, and others are all strong men who have survived to the present quasi-saint peak in ancient times.

Although the Monkey King, who made trouble in the heavenly palace five hundred years ago, is famous. But if it is real, it may be able to defeat many people alone, but if it uses the power of the foundation, the dragon clan is not weaker than the other major forces. Unless the saints behind the other major forces come forward, it is not known who will win and who will lose.

Xiong Zhen's two friends saw that Sun Wukong and Ao Lie were both legendary characters, so they left very interestingly. Xiong Zhen was even more exceptional, and his subordinates presented all kinds of wine and food to entertain Du Chen and the three of them.

Du Chen and Ao Lie are a little better, although they have also tasted some delicious food, but they are still relatively gentle. Sun Wukong didn't care about this, holding a jar of honey, put his hand inside, took out a handful of honey and stuffed it into his mouth. While eating, he said: Hey, hey! Sweet! It's so sweet!
