Chapter 508: Old Friends Meet

...... Alas, a Nanzhao country, dozens of large and small countries with a huge surrounding area that stretch for hundreds of miles, disappeared from the earth and were erased in this way in the poisonous plan that the national teacher had planned for a long time...... History, just like that, has been hollowed out! It was a vast ocean, so clean......

Fortunately, the fat monk Zhang Zhongliang still had a breath, put himself in Zeguo, held the throat of fate in a daze, stepped on a seal that looked like a lion, and drifted to the mouth of the Pearl River in the south of the Central Plains with the vast ocean.

After Master Zhang Zhongliang went ashore, he was no longer the former Master Zhang Zhongliang, his mind was blank, his magic skills were lost, and after several tosses, when he fell to Tianlu Mountain in Xinzhou, he was already a fat monk with a big belly.

Perhaps, Master Zhang Zhongliang has a fate with the sixth ancestor Huineng in this life, Huineng was young in Tianlu Mountain to collect firewood, in the cave to avoid the rain unexpectedly, to the small bridge after the encounter again, since then the two have been separated, never met, the previous has been described, here is not a table.

……

Besides, the sixth ancestor Huineng was about to die in his later years, and he took the gods to dress up as a wandering Taoist and speak for the people in the Heavenly Lotus Pond......

Just as the Sixth Ancestor Huineng Master fell down and bowed, there was a sudden strange and familiar sound

"Whoop—whoa" sound.

The Sixth Ancestor Huineng Master looked up, only to see Ah Xin and Ah Yi (two monkeys fell into the hunter's cage in Tianlu Mountain and were rescued by the Sixth Ancestor Huineng), each of them holding a purple-red fairy peach in front of them, as well as the tiger and two tigers who were subdued by the Zen heart of the Sixth Ancestor Huineng, all surrounded by the Sixth Ancestor Huineng Master, that look, that excitement, just like a long-lost old friend meeting.

It turned out that the two spirit monkeys of Ah Xin and Ah Yi learned that the Sixth Ancestor Master Huineng was speaking in the Heavenly Lotus Pond in Tianlu Mountain, so they hurriedly picked two fairy peaches as gifts and rushed down the mountain to meet the Sixth Ancestor Master Huineng.

Passing through the tiger pit, I met the tigress and the two tigers, the so-called "old friends" met each other, and they were very cordial.

When the tigress heard that Ashin and Ayi had gone down the mountain to see Engong, she immediately said: No matter what kind or that risk may be encountered on the way, she must go with her to see Engong!

So, the tigress asked Ashin and Ayi to sit on the backs of the two tigers, and she personally opened the way in front of her, rushed down the mountain, and found the lotus pond in heaven all the way.

After Master Huineng finished speaking, he was about to get together with the fat monk, and suddenly, the audience at the scene saw three tigers and two monkeys falling from the sky, and they were all frightened.

Among them, there were a few bold township officials, armed with bright knives and guns, shouting: "Kill it!" ”

As soon as Master Huineng of the Sixth Ancestor saw Ashin, Ayi and the tigress and its tiger that he had tamed, he was really overjoyed, and quickly stood up, blocked in front of the three tigers, arched his hands to the audience, and explained loudly: "Everyone, please don't be afraid, don't panic!" They are old friends of Lao Na, and they will never hurt you! ”

The audience at the scene, listening to the Sixth Ancestor Master Huineng say this, only then settled down a little. Most of them were timid and scared to leave the scene quietly - slipping away.

Faced with this situation, Master Huineng of the Sixth Ancestor couldn't help but look up to the sky and sighed: "I can't imagine that I, Lu Huineng, will be able to see them again when I am about to die......

Master Huineng of the Sixth Ancestor affectionately took the immortal peach presented by Ah Xin and Ah Yi, handed the slightly larger immortal peach to the fat monk, and said humorously, "Venerable Master, please taste this immortal peach that absorbs the essence of heaven, earth, sun and moon, and is naturally ripe in the source of heavenly dew." ”

The fat monk stretched out his hand to take the fruit fat, beautiful appearance of the peach, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, elegantly wiped it for a while, and then put it in his mouth and tasted it gently, a sweet and delicious juice refreshed people's hearts, it was really juicy and sweet, and the smell was fragrant, and his mouth was fragrant, and he couldn't help but praise fiercely, "This peach should only be in the sky!" Race over the peach of the Queen Mother of the West......"

The fat monk blurted out the matter of "the queen mother's peach", and from this, he remembered the story of Sun Monkey going to the heavenly peach orchard to steal the peach in his mind-

Mount Tai, in ancient China, symbolizes the heavens, so Mount Tai has a day gate, the middle heaven gate, the South heaven gate.

Ancient flood, Mount Tai is surrounded by a vast ocean, only the plane of the sea is exposed above the Zhongtian Gate, so Mount Tai is called Kunlun Mountain again. The western Kunlun Immortal Mountain mentioned in ancient Chinese books is actually the current Mount Tai.

And there is a heavenly pond at the foot of Mount Tai, which was called the Queen Mother Pond in ancient times. Feicheng is more than 50 miles away from the place, rich in Buddha peaches.

The Buddha peach is no different from the legendary peach, quite similar, which is actually the peach that has been legendary in the folk for thousands of years.

As the saying goes, "peaches in the sky, fat peaches in the world". Fat peach is also known as Buddha peach, longevity peach, fairy peach, well-known at home and abroad for its large quality and excellent quality, known as the crown of the group of peaches, so it is called the peach king, since the Tang Dynasty is the royal tribute.

China's Western Queen Mother is a fairy living in the Kunlun Mountains in western China, and Pan Tao is also the supreme goddess of Taoism in China. Every year on the 18th day of the seventh lunar month is the Christmas of the Queen Mother of the West in Yaochi.

There are more than 3,000 peach trees planted in the peach orchard of the Queen Mother, more than 1,000 in front, the flowers and fruits are tiny, they are ripe for 3,000 years, and people eat them to become immortals. There are more than 1,000 plants in the middle, and they are ripe for 6,000 years. There are more than 1,000 plants in the back, purple fine nucleus, nine thousand years of ripeness, people eat and heaven and earth with longevity, the sun and the moon with Geng.

In the annual peach event, the story of the monkey Sun Wukong stealing peaches has long been well-known to the people, adding charm to people's taste of fat peaches.

Peaches are always associated with immortals and longevity because they are rich in nutritional value. Among those who have enjoyed immortal fruits and peaches in the mortal world, one is King Mu of Zhou, and the other is Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Legend has it that once King Mu of Zhou went out on an outing, passed by Kunlun Mountain, was entertained by the fairy fruit of the Queen Mother of the West, and drank and wrote poems on the Yao Pond, and lingered for many days.

Later, King Mu of Zhou passed through Kunlun Mountain again, looking for Yaochi Pan Taoyuan everywhere, but he couldn't find anything, so he had to leave reluctantly.

According to the "Internal Biography of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty". In April of the sixth year of Yuan Feng, the Queen Mother of the West had met with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and gave Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty four peaches.

The Queen Mother of the West informed: "The ground is thin in midsummer, and the peach is not grown. ”

After that, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was greedy for the delicacy of peaches, and sent his minister Dongfang Shuo three times to travel long distances to Kunlun in the west and steal peaches.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also carefully collected the peach pits he had eaten, one by one, and passed them down from generation to generation.

Later generations found that the hidden peach pit, more than 5 inches long, more than 4 inches wide, engraved "the Queen Mother of the West gave food to the Emperor Wu Pan peach in front of the Chenghua Palace" 14 words.

……

After the fat monk tasted this rare peach, as the fresh juice like jade liquid continued to flow into his mouth, it activated Ah Lianmei's brain cells like a hormone, thus quickly recovering her memory and divine skills. Master Zhang Zhongliang, who was in his heyday, was resurrected again! Sitting vividly on the chair above the lotus pond in the lotus pond.

Seeing this, Master Huineng of the Sixth Ancestor bowed his head and bowed, and said something in his mouth: "Good! There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, and the disciples visit the master. ”

Master Zhang Zhongliang stepped forward, bowed down to help the Sixth Ancestor Master Huineng, and said humbly: "Why do the Sixth Ancestors have to do this great trip, it's too late for the Master to thank you!" ”

Master Huineng of the Sixth Patriarch said with sincere fear: "Zen Buddhism is fortunate to see the master, how can there be no reason not to kneel three times and bow nine times?" Please also ask the teacher to be merciful and give a teaching. ”

After hearing this, Master Zhang Zhongliang smiled at the Sixth Ancestor Master Huineng and said, "By chance, we met here, and Sister Ah Lian will meet in the future in the kingdom of heaven." ”

When the master said this, he looked meaningfully at Ah Xin, Ah Yi and the three-headed tiger who were surrounded by the Sixth Ancestor Huineng Master, and then waved his hand, looked at the Sixth Ancestor Huineng Master, and said seriously, "Just now, this master had the courage to plead with Shangtian, and I have borrowed another six days and nights for you, so hurry up and go back to Tianlu Mountain with your old friends to take a walk, and see those villagers who shared hardships in the past." ”

"I obey the orders of the master, and I have the same intention." The Sixth Patriarch Master Huineng gratefully bid farewell to Master Zhang Zhongliang, sat on the back of a tiger with Shenhui and Ashin and Ayi, and went towards the sky like a lightning bolt.
