The Way of Heaven (12)
Outside the Jinling Academy, Shen Moxibustion listened to the words of the stone lion and was worried. Hurriedly looked to the sky with his discerning eyes, and wanted to find out the five gods to ask about the disaster of Jinling's karma, but around him, the common three-foot gods were now avoiding him one by one.
Shen Moxibustion was annoyed at night, and said to the sky: "This Jinling is no longer the Jinling of the past, the people are courteous, gentle and kind, but you want this city to suffer, where can you say the past?"
"Shang Xian Mo is angry. A divine voice came from the sky, and he said: "The catastrophe of Jinling School is caused by the results of this life in the past life, and the ignorance of the people and the abuse of the people. This bad karma of destroying the books of the saints and mutilating Confucian beings is as great as mountains and rivers, and it goes straight to the eighteenth layer of hell. Behind Confucianism is a celestial world, and the celestials and gods in the world have also suffered this unwarranted disaster. The karma of harming the gods is so huge, if it weren't for the fact that this Jinling Academy had a saint, this Jinling City would have been destroyed at that time.
The smallest karmic debt of these people is also subject to 369,856,472 oil pots, and the most powerful yaksha in this prefecture is careful, and it will be enough to do the 12,857 oil pots, not even a fraction. Tell me, 'How will this karmic debt be paid?'
Shen Jiu Ye said: "But this 'disaster to the descendants' is too unreasonable." Because of the evil done by the ancestors, the innocent descendants will be affected and suffer, and this law of cause and effect is too unfair. ”
"Shangxian, how can you be so confused. The divine envoy said, "The Buddha said, "If you do sin, you will suffer from it, and you will not be able to replace it." Self-inflicted self-inflicted is an iron rule of cause and effect, and of course there is no reason to do evil by oneself but to be received by future generations. The so-called 'disaster to future generations' is just a idiomatic expression, a superficial phenomenon, and the formation and root cause of its phenomenon are caused by 'the same industry leading to each other, the common karma is inspired, and the later report is turned into the current report'.
'Karma reciprocation' generally refers to the tendency of people who have created the same kind of good karma and bad karma in past lives to become dependents of each other, and 'retribution for later retribution to retribution' refers to those negative retributions that can only be received in future lives, which are triggered by encountering related evils in the environment, so that the negative consequences of the evil karma are ripened earlier and retribution in this life, or the retribution that should have been received at an older age is retribution earlier than when you were younger.
The debt of Jinling's karmic retribution is the encounter of 'turning the later report into the current report', and most of the people in this city are reincarnated by the robbery of Jinling Academy, or they know that it is wrong, but they are afraid that the court will not dare to speak up. The fact that karma is not repaid at the right time is due to the fact that the good fortune that should be enjoyed has not yet been enjoyed, and the cause of bad retribution has not yet matured. It is self-inflicted that we will suffer this karmic retribution now, and there is nothing unfair about it.
These people should have suffered from plagues, locusts, floods, torrential rains, ice, earthquakes, droughts, wars, and many other disasters, but due to the moral recovery after the first report, the heavens have recovered all the disasters after the plague, and only one stone of Mount Meru has been used to destroy this place. Don't look at this ashram in Mount Meru is just a small stone, it is a big mountain in the world. Once this 'mountain' is pressed down, with Jinling Academy as the boundary, the entire city and the people in the city will be reduced to powder. Thou shalt leave it alone. ”
Hearing the words of the divine envoy on the night of the gods, he returned to the Jinling Academy, couldn't sleep for a long time, looked east, and saw a small thousand worlds (a thousand small worlds, called a small thousand worlds; a thousand small thousand worlds, called a thousand middle thousand worlds; a thousand middle thousand worlds, called a large thousand worlds. This is the origin of the "Three Thousand Worlds") in the center of which there is a mountain towering above the clouds. This mountain has two layers, the lower is "Little Sumeru Mountain" and the upper is "Great Sumeru Mountain".
This "Little Sumeru Mountain" is like a mountain in the world, wide at the bottom and narrow at the top. In the mountain, there are many caves and blessed places, pavilions and pavilions. The buildings are carved and carved from the stones in the mountains, and occasionally spring water flows along the mountain wall to form pools, or drips into pools. The pond and pond are planted with various aquatic flowers such as water lily, phoenix eye blue, water gold ying, water hawthorn, etc., and the fragrance is pervasive. In the pond and pond, there are many stones to pave the road in the water, these stones are big and small, some of the big stones are carved with dragons, carved with Xuanwu, carved with the gods and beasts such as the Qiang; some are the stone steps that are naturally formed, without the slightest artificial carving. The whole cave blessed land and pavilions and pavilions are said to be in harmony with the mountain, as if they existed forever.
However, the shape of this "Big Sumeru Mountain" is just the opposite of the "Little Sumeru Mountain", which is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. From a distance, it looks like the arms are close together, and the palms are dragging an object together, and this thing is the so-called "thirty-three days". This great Sumeru Mountain is splendid, all because of the glazed paving in the mountain, the crystal is a tree, and the gold and silver are sand, everywhere is the treasure that can be encountered in the world but can not be sought, even the flowing river is made of gems in series.
There is a palace on the border between the Great Sumeru Mountain and the Little Sumeru Mountain, this hall has been the same height as the sun and the moon, because there are four heavenly kings guarding here, so it is called the "Four Heavenly Kings Palace".
Mount Meru is surrounded by the Aral Sea (ocean), which has four major continents and eight minor continents. The four major continents are Beiju Luzhou, Dongsheng Shenzhou, Rhino Hezhou and Nanzhan Buzhou, and this Jinling City is on this Nanzhan Buzhou. The eight sub-continents are Tihacha, Vitiha, Shadi, Shangyi, Shamala, Raft Shamala, Julaba and Laba.
Underneath the 1,000-mile (the ancient Indian unit of measurement of length, about 11.2 kilometers is the length of a cow walking in a day) is the Eight Hells, the Abi Hell, and the hells of all sizes. Further down, there are earth wheels, gold wheels, water wheels, and wind wheels. At the very bottom, there is an endless void.
In the "Four Heavenly Kings Palace" at night, the Heavenly King of the Eastern Holding Country, the Western Wide-eyed Heavenly King, and the Northern Duowen Heavenly King are all in the hall, but the shadow of the Southern Growth Heavenly King is not seen. Frightened, he was busy looking for the shadow of the Growth Heavenly King, swept over the Great Sumeru Mountain, peeked at the Little Sumeru Mountain, and looked up at the sky, but still did not see the shadow of the Growth Heavenly King.
A voice suddenly said, "Are you looking for me?" The voice was obviously very close, like the sound of the ear, but there was no one else around except the stone lion. Divine Moxibustion Night Darkness, this voice should be from another time and space, it could be the growth of the Heavenly King speaking.
Thinking of this, Shen Mo Ye looked at the Heavenly King Hall again, but he still did not see the shadow of the Heavenly King. So I searched Mount Meru again, but I was still disappointed. Just as he was about to look up at the sky, he heard the voice say, "Foolish, the human world is a round sphere, which rotates and revolves around the sun." The so-called heaven on this head, where is the real heaven, is heaven in all directions. If you are at the bottom of a sphere, the lower is the heavens and the upper is the earth. But at the other end of the sphere (above) there is heaven above it, and earth below it. And the world is a whole, isn't it the sky at the top, and the sky at the bottom, the same goes for the left and right. ”
Hearing the words of the Heavenly King, Shen Jiu Ye was ashamed, and looked to the left, but saw that there was a god in the void carrying an ashlar stone coming here. The void seemed to be only a stone's throw away, but it was actually 108,000 miles away. However, the angel's footsteps were extremely fast, and he traveled a hundred miles between breaths. The magic moxibustion night is estimated to touch, and it only takes the time of tea kung fu to reach the divine envoy here.
Shen Jiu Ye bowed deeply to the divine envoy and pleaded: "Heavenly King, please slow down, please don't make a move against the people in this city too soon. I beseech you to give me a moment to speak to the people of this city. ”
The Growth Heavenly King sighed: "Why are you so troubled, they are already the ones who have been eliminated. Shen Jiu Ye said: "It is precisely because they are eliminated that I should tell them more." In this way, at the end of their lives, they will suffer less sin. If someone attains enlightenment because of this, life can not only be sublimated, but also continued. Isn't this a great blessing?"
"Then do you know what kind of sin will be suffered by those who cross them, and how much virtue will be needed?" said the Heavenly King, "and you, as the extraditer of these people, will be affected by the karma of these people." Once this karma is pressed, your foundation will be destroyed, and you won't have to repair it. Because your physical body simply can't bear these karma, it will come to naught in an instant. Shen Moxibustion Night said: "All living beings in hell can survive, not to mention that these are just human beings who have lost their footing for a while? If my death can redeem the people in this city, what does it matter if I die alone?"
The Growth Heavenly King looked at the Shen Mo Ye and was silent for a long time, and said for a long time: "When the sun rises, the stones of Mount Meru will arrive." "Let's turn off the interface between the void and the human world.
Shen Moxibustion Ye bowed to the void, estimating that there were still five hours before dawn (one hour in ancient times was equal to two hours today), and then hurried to Chen Yu's residence. He stretched out his hand and was about to knock at the door, but suddenly he felt that something was wrong. Secretly, if I tell Brother Chen about the disaster in Jinling, with his character, he will definitely work with me to save the people of Jinling, and this is also the purpose of my search for him. However, in doing so, wouldn't I limit him to a dangerous place, and he would also bear a part of the karma of Jinling. If both of us unfortunately die here, no one will do the mission of awakening the divine beast, and the people of this world will not know what kind of suffering they will suffer?
Thinking of this, Shen Jiu Ye turned around and left, and went down the mountain alone. At this time, the moon and stars are scarce, there are no tourists in the city, and every household lights oil lamps and candles. Shen Mo walked to a place at night, and saw a fluorescent green light in the window of this house, so he took a closer look. It was originally a poor family that could not afford lamp oil and candles, so they lit it up.
Shen Moxibustion suddenly knelt down on his knees and kowtowed to the sky three times, originally confessing to the ancestor of Jie Tianyun. He kowtowed and said: "The ancestor Emperor Xuanyuan is above, and the disciple Sun Shenjiu is guilty of the night, and he will touch the two methods today." Although he committed the crime because he was reasonable, the cause was to save the people of Jinling, which was really a last resort, and he should not be blamed. The disciple learned from the mouth of the stone lion today that there is a karmic disaster in Jinling, and more than three or four thousand people in the city will be crushed into powder by the 'square stone' of Mount Meru. However, although our sect's cultivation of true art is wonderful, it cannot cultivate oneself and cannot benefit sentient beings. The disciples had no choice but to persuade the people to believe in Maitreya's Dharma and use the compassion of Buddhism to benefit all sentient beings. ”
On the night of the moxibustion, he knocked on the door of the people's rooms, clarified the intention, and then promoted the method of Maitreya. But there are more than three or four thousand people in this city, and with the power of one person on the night of divine moxibustion, where is it possible for every person to hear this Maitreya method within five hours. This man's heart is complex and unpredictable, and among those who hear it are some who do not believe it, some who do not hear it, and some who do not hear it. As the sky became darker and darker, most of the people in the city had gone to bed, and the road of the Divine Moxibustion Night Propagation was even more difficult.
"Hurry, hurry. ”
Shen Moxibustion urged himself over and over again, knocking on one door after another. If he is rejected, he knocks on the door until the owner of the door is impatient and has to open the door. Before the master of the door could vent his anger, he had already explained the meaning and the method of Maitreya to the people who came at a faster speed. If you encounter a horizontal and unreasonable person, you will not be anxious or annoyed at night, and you will tell the story with a sincere heart to save people.
However, even if the Divine Moxibustion does not sleep at night, there are only a few people who listen to the Dharma. Seeing that the five hours are coming, the sky has seen the white of the fish's belly. Shen Mo Ye looked at the place where the households in the city had not yet walked, his heart was horizontal, and he knocked on the door and window of a nearby household again, and the voice of the Heavenly King suddenly sounded in his ears, "Shen Mo Night, five hours have arrived, you should leave." ”
Shen Moxibustion turned a deaf ear and knocked on the door desperately, hoping to wake up all the people in the city.
"On the night of the moxibustion, are you going to break your trust in me? Say five hours, just five hours, and leave quickly. ”
"If I depart, the people of the city will surely die. Shen Moxibustion Night said to the Growth Heavenly King: "I have to break my trust in you. Then he knocked on the door again.
The Heavenly King said: "Aren't you afraid that I will press down the mountain?" Shen Jiu Ye replied: "Heaven is merciful, only kill the wicked, not the good." If there is a letter in the sky, that is, if the mountain crushes the city, there will be no thunder. I am here, and you are afraid of killing me by mistake, so you will not press the mountain down. ”
The Heavenly King sighed: "On the night of the gods, your power is limited, and you should know that you can't save the people in this city." I'll show you a way, and there is a way to rescue you on the one hundred and eight steps of Jinling Academy. Shen Moxibustion's eyes lit up suddenly, but they instantly dimmed again, and he said sarcastically: "Heavenly King, are you changing the law to lead me away?"
"Foolishness, foolishness. The Growth Heavenly King hated iron and said: "How can you judge me with people's hearts, I am not as untrustworthy as you." If I have made a suggestion to you, it will definitely give you time to try it. ”
Shen Moxibustion knew that he was speechless, bowed to the King of Heaven three times, apologized, and rushed to the one hundred and eight ladders of Jinling Academy. Shen Jiu Ye rushed to the fifty ladders in one breath, and smoothly passed the sixty and seventy ladders, and the speed did not decrease to the hundred ladders, and under the gaze of the Growth Heavenly King, he rushed up step by step, and in a blink of an eye, he reached the one hundred and eight ladders.
"When, When......"
When the Jinling Academy reached the one hundred and eight steps at night, the sound of heaven suddenly sounded in the sky. The students of Jinling were awakened by the sound of nature, and they all looked at the night of the moxibustion in surprise. I don't understand, a few days ago, this magic moxibustion night stopped at one hundred and seven steps, how did it reach the top today. How did they know that when Shen Jiu Ye was sprinting to this one hundred and eight steps, he had long forgotten that he couldn't reach the top. There is only one thought in my heart, and that is to "save people".
