Chapter 406: Enlightened Monk, Sycamore Divine Tree!
I stared at the little monk, and then smiled slightly: "Little monk, do you recognize the wrong person? How can I be your ancestor?"
When the little monk heard this, he frowned and said, "No, I didn't admit my mistake." My master showed me your portrait, and you are exactly like the one in the portrait. β
If I am your master, then isn't your master my apprentice?"
When the little monk heard this, he pointed to the Golden Immortal Cave next to him and said, "My master is inside, I'll take you to him." β
I smiled and nodded, and said secretly in my heart, "Maybe his master is the person I'm looking for." β
The four of us followed the little monk and walked directly into the Golden Immortal Cave with his legs raised. The cave is also a tourist attraction, so lights are installed on both sides of the cave so that visitors can take a closer look at the murals and scenes in the cave.
On the stone wall of the cave is a picture of a young monk meditating with his eyes closed, and although the monk is meditating, he has a faint smile on his face.
Beside him, there was a large white dog. Presumably, the people in the mural are Jin Jizo and his dog Diting.
Legend has it that King Jizo Bodhisattva lived in meditation here, so this mural is engraved with the scene of his cultivation here.
We walked along the cave and soon came to the end of the cave, where I found a Buddha statue. It should be a statue of the Jizo King Bodhisattva carved by later generations, and it is carved lifelike, just like a real person.
Right next to this statue, I saw an old monk wiping the Buddha statue.
This old monk is not tall, that is, less than one meter seven, his white eyebrows hang down to the corners of his eyes, and his cheekbones are very high, but his face is ruddy, and the aura exuded by the whole person is very strong, although he is wearing a tattered monk's robe, but I believe that no one will look down on him.
The little monk led us forward, and the old monk raised his eyes directly at us.
"Master, look at it, is this my ancestor? He is exactly the same as the person in the portrait you showed me. β
Before I could speak, Want Want behind me suddenly stepped forward, and then exclaimed, "You...... You are the Great Gu junior disciple, you ...... You're still alive?"
As soon as Want Want said this, we were all surprised. If Wangwang was worshiped under Xia Heng in the Yuan Dynasty, then his junior brother should also be in the Yuan Dynasty. From the Yuan Dynasty to the present, there are more than 700 years, if this is the case, wouldn't this old monk become a true Buddha?
When the white-eyed old monk heard this, he didn't pay attention to it directly, but set his eyes on me.
"Master, master, I didn't expect that after so many years, I would be able to see you again. The master ...... "Speaking of this, the white-eyed old monk suddenly knelt on his knees and actually bowed to me.
When I saw it, I hurriedly stepped forward to help him up. "Master, you may have misunderstood. I'm not your master, are you mistaken? β
"How could I be mistaken? Couldn't I even recognize my own master? Master, I know that you have been reincarnated, but as the saying goes: A teacher for one day, a father for life. I don't care what you have become, you will always be my master. β
I turned my face to look at Wangwang, hoping that he could help me persuade the old monk that I really couldn't afford such a big gift.
Wangwang sighed lightly and said, "Senior Brother Dagu, since the master asked you to get up, you should get up, don't you even listen to the master's words?"
Hearing this, the white-eyed old monk immediately wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then stood up.
"I was so excited, master, don't blame the apprentice. β
Maybe he was a disciple of my previous life, but all these years have passed. And the things of the previous life should not be involved in this life.
"Master, my name is Yulong. In this life, I really am not your master anymore. We came here because we were guided by others. I wonder if you can take us to a place where there are fewer people. You see that the tourists behind are coming, and when I see you calling me master one by one, what will others think? β
The white-eyed monk nodded and smiled: "Yes, master, you are right." I was negligent, so let's go to my room. With that, he led us out of the Golden Immortal Cave and into the Tiantai Temple again.
In the northernmost corner of the monastery is where his fasting room is located. Along the way, they were seen by other monks, all of whom were puzzled. Maybe they're thinking, how could I know such an enlightened monk?
We sat down in the room, and the old monk immediately asked the little monk to make tea for us.
"Senior Brother Wangwang, you have also been reincarnated. Why didn't you come to see me sooner?"
When Wang Wang heard this, he smiled slightly: "Senior Brother Dagu, I thought you had already entered the path of reincarnation. Why did you escape the Heavenly Dao?"
What Want Want asked is exactly what we want to know. Monk Dagu sighed lightly and said, "Actually, I should also enter reincarnation." But I have cultivated the Bodhi Golden Body, and I have been asleep for hundreds of years. I also woke up ten years ago, and only the abbot knew about it, and he let me stay in the temple without telling anyone else. Later, by coincidence, he accepted my little apprentice. He is also related to the Buddha, don't look at his young age, the height of the Dharma is that the monks who are more than half a hundred years old are not as good as him. By the way, master, how did you find here?"
When I finally got to the point, I immediately said, "Master, here's the thing, we first went to Shennong Valley, but the Divine Tree was destroyed by a thunderbolt, and the Spirit of the Divine Tree told me the night before, let's go to Jiuhua Mountain to find someone who is destined. Later, after many twists and turns, I finally found this place. β
"Master, what are you talking about? The sacred tree in Shennong Valley has been destroyed? That sacred tree has stood for thousands of years without falling, how can it be punished by the heavenly thunder? What crime has it committed?"
I shook my head and sighed, "I don't know, the Sacred Tree just said that someone wants it to die, so it must die." β
"Anyone, is it ......" Monk Baimei said this, and did not continue, but it could be seen from her face that she was preoccupied.
"Master, do you know who that person is? Can you tell me?"
The white-eyed monk shook his head and said, "Master, although I know, I can't sue you." You'll definitely find out later. Since the Divine Tree has asked you to come to me, you must have something to do with me. Tell me what you want me to do. β
I nodded slightly, and then took out Ling'er's demon pill and handed it to him. When the white-eyed monk looked at the demon pill, his face suddenly changed.
"This ...... This is the demon pill of the nine-tailed demon fox? What's wrong with the nine-tailed fox? Is it the same as the sacred tree?"
The words of the white-eyed monk made me understand that he must know a lot of things.
"That's right, the same is true for the Nine-Tailed Fox!Master, I hope you can help me rescue her, since you were my apprentice in your previous life, you should know my fate with the Nine-Tailed Fox. I really can't afford to lose her, I beg you to help me save her, is that okay?"
When the white-eyed monk heard this, he was about to speak, when the little monk walked in with tea.
"Master, ancestor, the tea has been brewed. Have tea!" he said, placing the tray on the wooden table between us.
At this moment, he glanced at the demon pill in my hand, and suddenly exclaimed: "Master, what you have in your hand is actually a demon pill." And the preservation is so complete, can you show it to the disciples? β
I turned my head to look at the white-eyed monk, who nodded lightly at me. Seeing this, I immediately handed the demon pill in my hand to the little monk.
The little monk took the demon pill and looked left and right, and then said in an astonishing voice: "Master, the little fox in this demon pill is still alive. β
Alive? He meant that Ling'er was still alive. "Little monk, how can you tell that the little fox inside is still alive?"
When the little monk heard this, he said: "Because I saw her vitality, although it was very weak, it was still there after all. As long as the vitality continues, she does not die. β
Hearing this, I was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Then do you know how to save her?"
The little monk returned the demon pill to me, then shook his head and said, "I don't know, Master, don't you know?"
When I heard this, the hope that had arisen disappeared in an instant. "Alright, you go out! I still have something to tell your ancestor. β
The little monk nodded, then turned around and left the room.
After the little monk left, the white-eyed monk spoke: "Master, in fact, you don't need to worry. If you really want to save the nine-tailed fox, you can. Truth be told, I share the same opinion as my disciple. Although the Nine-Tailed Fox is now in the Demon Pill, its body and spirit have been destroyed by the Heavenly Thunder. If you want to save her, you must reshape her body and recreate her spirit. Only in this way can the nine-tailed fox be truly resurrected. β
When I heard this, I immediately said urgently: "Master, what are you going to do? You teach me, you teach me!"
"Master, don't be in a hurry, drink some tea first. As he spoke, he took a sip of his tea.
When I saw this, I had to pick up the tea and drink it. The bland tea is bitter at first, but it is sweet and delicious when it reaches the throat.
The white-eyed monk looked at the changes on my face and said with a smile: "Master, this is called bitterness." Isn't it delicious?"
That's a good name. "Good tea! With that, I drank the tea from the cup and placed the empty cup on the table.
Wang Wang saw that the old monk was playing tricks, and immediately said with a smile: "Senior Brother Dagu, since you know how to save the nine-tailed fox, hurry up and tell Master SΓΉ." Don't you see how anxious he is?"
The white-eyed monk smiled slightly and said: "I can't remember the matter of reshaping the body, only when the mind is calm, can I get twice the result with half the effort." Master, that's what you taught me back then. β
I smiled awkwardly when I heard this.
"Alright, I'm going to tell you how to reshape the body of the nine-tailed fox. The nine-tailed fox has cultivated to the nine-tails, and it can be regarded as a spiritual object. Since she is a spiritual creature, her physical body must be spiritual. I heard that there is a plane tree on Wutai Mountain, and there was a phoenix falling on the trunk of the tree, and this tree is contaminated with the spirit of the phoenix, and it can be regarded as a spiritual tree, and this spiritual wood can be made into the body of a nine-tailed fox. β
"Really, that's great, let's go to Wutai Mountain!"
The white-eyed monk waved his hand to stop me and said, "That's not all, there's still something to do." β
When I heard this, I hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"
