303 Obon
The ancient Buddha of the lamp and the great day of Rulai glanced at each other after hearing this. The ancient Buddha sighed and said:
"After being instructed by the Zhun Ti Patriarch, I learned the method of increasing luck and cause and effect. Although I have gained a little, I just don't know how to start. ”
When the Buddha heard this, he said:
"The so-called increase of luck is to borrow the help of people with deep luck, and the cause and effect is to end one's own cause and effect. In this way, we can survive the calamity. ”
The Buddha is the first head of Theravada Buddhism. It is rumored in the Three Realms that its magical power is incredible. He is known as the first person under the saint.
After hearing this, the Buddha sighed and said:
"Even so, it's just that cause and effect are difficult, and fortune is difficult to borrow, but what, no one!"
The Buddha then said:
"It's July now, I have 100 kinds of fairy flowers, and I want to make a Bon festival and enjoy the fairy flowers with the immortals of the Three Realms. When the time comes, all the immortals will gather, which can explain the grievances and end the cause and effect, although it cannot calm the catastrophe, but it can also resolve many catastrophes. ”
When the ancient Buddha and the great day heard this, their eyes lit up. It is difficult to borrow luck for a while, but it is a feasible way to invite the immortals of the Three Realms and try to resolve cause and effect as much as possible.
Hearing this, the ancient Buddha smiled and said:
"If the Buddha is wise and compassionate, the poor monk is deeply admired. ”
When the Buddha heard this, he smiled and said:
"This meeting needs to invite people who have karma with my Buddhist disciples as much as possible, and the people who teach the immortals will be invited by the Buddha who burns the lamp. ”
When the ancient Buddha heard this, he opened his mouth and agreed. At that time, he was in a very high position in teaching. Now that he has entered Buddhism, in order to resolve the cause and effect, he still has to come forward to invite people in person.
The Buddha said:
"The Great Day Buddha had a fate with the saints of the Spirit Sect, and the Spirit Sect immortals bothered the Buddha to invite them. ”
When Da Ri Rulai heard this, he had no choice but to agree.
After the three Buddhas discussed the matter, they set a date for the Bon festival. Then they each went out of the mountain to invite the immortals of the Three Realms.
After the ancient Buddha and the Great Day Buddha left, the Buddha thought to himself:
"The immortals of the sect have great cause and effect with my Hinayana Buddhism, and this matter needs to invite the immortals of the sect. It's just that now that I'm the head of the Hinayana Buddhism, I can't come forward easily. If you want to invite the sect to intercept the immortals, you have to ask the dark cloud immortal to come forward. ”
Although the Buddha was a former Duobao Taoist, he was the elder brother of the immortals. But now he is not only the head of Theravada Buddhism. He even refined the Tongtian Sect Master's Immortal Array Diagram, and cultivated his obsession into the incarnation of his Five Great Ming Kings, which is his biggest cause and effect, and it is almost impossible to dissolve.
Therefore, if the Buddha wants to invite the immortals, he must be a dark cloud immortal. After the end of the battle of the gods, Wuyunxian was captured by the quasi-Tidao people and swore not to enter the Buddha Gate. The Zhun Tidao people had no choice but to leave him in the Bade Pool, and he was not in human form on weekdays.
Now that Wuyun Immortal has escaped, he is following Kong Xuan, and it is most suitable for him to invite the immortals to intercept the sect.
After the Buddha finished thinking about it, he ordered Ananda to invite Kong Xuan and Wuyunxian to come and meet. When Ananda honored the Buddha's decree, he turned into an auspicious light and rushed to the Peacock Country to find Kong Xuan and Wuyun Immortal.
The Peacock Kingdom is not far from the Great Leiyin Temple, and Ananda quickly arrives and meets Kong Xuan. Kong Xuan asked:
"How did Venerable Ananda get here?"
Ananda replied:
"In accordance with the decree of the Buddha, please invite the prince and Wuyunxian to go to the Da Lei Yin Temple for a while. ”
Kong Xuan heard this, and although he didn't know why, he still took Wuyun Immortal and rushed to the Great Leiyin Temple with Ananda.
Kong Xuan and the Buddha are both people in the Buddhist sect, when the Buddha cultivated the six golden bodies, Kong Xuan also swallowed the Buddha into his stomach and suppressed it with five-color divine light.
How can the Buddha's magic power be boundless, and it has surpassed Kong Xuan by five times. If the Buddha came, he broke the divine light, captured Kong Xuan, and sealed Kong Xuan as a bodhisattva.
At this time, the two were not embarrassed after meeting, Kong Xuan stepped forward and saluted:
"I've seen the Buddha. ”
And Wuyun Xian sighed in his heart when he saw the Buddha, the senior brother of the year has now become like this. He sighed in his heart, but he had no choice but to step forward and salute:
"I've seen the Buddha. ”
The Buddha stood up and returned the salute and invited the two into the throne. Then the Buddha spoke:
"I want to resolve the calamity of karma in the Three Realms, so I have a hundred kinds of fairy flowers and set up a Bon Festival. I invite you two here today because I want to ask you for help. ”
When Kong Xuan heard this, he already knew the meaning of the Buddha in his heart, so he said:
"I wonder what the Buddha commanded?"
The Buddha smiled and said:
"The prince has a great friendship with all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Mahayana Buddhism, and the old man wants to invite the prince to work hard and invite all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Elysium to meet here. ”
"And the friends of the Wuyun Immortal have a deep friendship with the Interception Sect Immortals, and the old man also wants to invite the Wuyun Immortal to work hard, and invite all the friends of the Interception Sect to come here to participate in the grand event. ”
When Kong Xuan heard this, he smiled and said:
"The Buddha has a compassionate heart, I also deeply admire, the Buddha rest assured, I will definitely invite all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. ”
Wuyun Immortal also wanted to go back to the Biyou Palace on Jinao Island, and when he saw that the Master of the Heavenly Sect and the fellow disciples, he replied:
"The Buddha's compassionate heart is extremely admired by the poor Dao, so I will go back to Jinao Island and invite you to intercept the immortals. ”
When the Buddha heard this, he smiled and said:
"Then the old man thanked the two of them for their help. ”
When Kong Xuan and Wuyunxian heard this, they said goodbye to the Buddha, and after leaving the Great Leiyin Temple, they each went to invite the immortals.
And the Buddha also recruited eighteen Arhats and sent them to all parts of the Three Realms, inviting immortals from all walks of life, such as Zhenyuan Daxian, Jade Emperor and Queen Mother, Four Emperors and Five Elders, to come to Lingshan to participate in the Bon Festival.
Speaking of the dark cloud immortal, he flew all the way to the endless chaos. After walking for a while, he prayed in his heart and asked to see his teacher.
After walking for another moment, all of a sudden, chaos opened up, and the portal of the Shangqing Immortal Realm appeared in front of him. Wuyunxian was so excited that he couldn't help but have a sour nose and almost burst into tears, it was the wanderer who had been away from home for thousands of years, and he finally returned to his homeland today.
Wuyun Immortal entered the Shangqing Fairyland, and saw Jinao Island floating on the sea, and there was a fairy palace on it, which was the master's dojo Biyou Palace.
Wuyunxian came to the front of the palace, and saw the Holy Mother of Jinling, the Holy Mother of Wudang, Sanxiao Immortal Gu, Zhao Gongming and other immortals, waiting in front of the palace. After seeing the dark cloud fairy, the Holy Mother of Wudang stepped forward and smiled:
"Congratulations, junior brother has returned to the gate of Biyou Palace today. ”
Wuyunxian was excited in his heart, and hurriedly bowed deeply:
"I've seen all of you, brothers and sisters. ”
The Golden Spirit Holy Mother and other immortals were also in a mood at this time. Everyone brought Wuyunxian into the Biyou Palace, greeted them for a long time, and then vented their excitement a little.
Seeing this, the dark cloud fairy asked:
"Where is the teacher? The younger brother has not greeted the teacher for many years, and now he is about to go to meet him. ”
Hearing this, Our Lady of Wudang smiled and said:
"Don't be anxious, the teacher is now in retreat and counting the number of days. His old man has calculated that you are coming, and has allowed you to return to the sect. ”
Wuyun Immortal was overjoyed when he heard this, he had been imprisoned by the Quasi-Ti Dao people for many years, and he was worried that the Tongtian Sect Master would not accept it, and now he was able to re-enter the Interception Sect, which really made him happy in his heart.
After waiting for the joy, the dark cloud fairy said:
"Senior Brother Duobao is now the head of the Hinayana Buddhism, and he sent me here to invite all the senior brothers and sisters to participate in the Obon Festival, I don't know what you think of the senior brothers and sisters?"
Hearing this, the Holy Mother of Wudang sneered:
"Back then, Senior Brother Duobao took the helm of the Zhuxian Sword Formation instead of his master, although he was defeated by the master, he was captured by him with a wind and fire futon. But my sect disciples should have integrity, even if they die, they can't apostate their teachers. Senior Brother Duobao was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he not only voted for Buddhism, but also privately occupied the master's supreme treasure Zhuxian array. Now that he has become the Buddha, I was about to see him and ask him how he dared to be so deceitful and occupy the Zhuxian Array. ”
Our Lady of the Golden Spirit also said angrily:
"There are also the three junior disciples of the Golden Light Immortal, the Bearded Immortal, and the Lingya Immortal, they were captured by the three thieves of Manjushri, Fuxian, and Guanyin, and suffered all the humiliation and abuse, this time I rushed to Lingshan, and I will definitely rescue the three junior brothers, and then let the three thieves look good!"
These sectarian immortals, the old grievances of the year in advance, gritted their teeth one by one. On the one hand, Zhao Gongming talked about the hatred of the nailhead Seven Arrows Book back then, and on the other side, Bixiao, Qiong Xiao talked about the misery of being killed by Yuan Shi Tianzun.
Seeing the indignation of our brothers and sisters, Our Lady of Wudang said:
"We will slowly settle these old grievances with them in the future, and this time we will rush to Lingshan together to see what those characters have to say!"
The immortals stayed on Jinao Island for two days. When the day of the Obon festival was held, they rushed to Lingshan together under the leadership of Our Lady of Wudang and Our Lady of Jinling.
But it is said that this Obon Festival is really the attention of the Three Realms. Almost all the big and small immortals came.
When the immortals arrived, the Buddha sent Ananda in front of the throne, and the two Venerables of Ka Ye came to greet them.
Na Ananda, Kasa bowed and said:
"Amitabha, all the great immortals can come to participate in the Bon Festival, the little monk is deeply honored, and he respects the Buddha's decree and welcomes you to the great immortals. ”
The Holy Mother of Wudang smiled and refused to say much to these two Venerables, so she followed them into the Great Leiyin Temple.
When I arrived at the main hall, I saw that the Buddha was now holding six golden bodies, sitting on the central lotus platform. On the left sits the ancient Buddha who burns the lamp, and on the right sits the Great Ri Nyorai, who are the three masters of the Hinayana Buddhism.
And on the left column, there are the big and small figures of the Buddha Gate, including Maitreya Buddha of the Elysian World, Vajra Buddha of Incorruptible Buddha, Buddha of Amitayus, Great Trend to Bodhisattva, etc., as well as Hinayana Buddhism's Fighting Victory Buddha, Zhantan Merit Buddha, Fear of Staying Sun Buddha, Manjushri, Puxian, Guanyin and other figures.
When the immortals of the sect saw the three Bodhisattvas, they gritted their teeth with hatred, and Zhao Gongming's face was flushed, and he was about to step forward to theorize. But was gently pulled by Yunxiao Niangniang and said:
"Now is not the time, and we will wait until the Obon festival is over. ”
When Zhao Gongming heard this, he had to barely suppress his anger, snorted coldly, and retreated behind the Holy Mother of Wudang.
