Text Chapter 422 Lotus Seal
Hongze Lake has always been the land of fish and rice, but it is a pity that since the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there have been wars for many years, and Zhao Tong has practiced demon skills and demon soldiers here, so that thousands of miles of land have been ruined. Not only is it sparsely populated, but even the fish and shrimp in the lake are also demonic and ferocious. It is said that the deeper you go, the more the demonic energy accumulates, and there are already demons who are not afraid of knives and guns and devour living people.
On this day, on the shore of Hongze Lake, a group of people came, there were monks and laymen, I don't know where they came from, all of them were extraordinary, where they passed, the grass was not touched, and the miasma was dispersed, obviously there was a practice in the body. Those fishermen, who were yellow-faced and thin-skinned, barely survived, immediately knelt on the ground when they saw it, and their mouths were full of immortals. The group of monks immediately stopped, and one of them came out and said, "Everyone, please get up." Immediately, the crowd felt an invisible force, lifted themselves up, and stood there in fear. But he saw that the man was looking at the depths of the Hongze Lake, a little worried, and said to himself, "In a thought, there are endless disasters." Then he took his companions and flew forward.
At this time, an old fisherman with a wrinkled face exclaimed, "Immortals, but you want to go to Hongze Lake to kill demons?"
The old fisherman, also with a worried face, beckoned the fishermen behind him, gathered around, bowed to the lake, and muttered, "Buddha bless! β
His words were heard by the monks flying in front of him. One of them said, "It's just a few demons that haven't become a climate!"
"Yaoshan, don't be careless, this place used to be a demon land, and there may be a demon gate formation at the bottom of the lake. The person who had spoken to the fishermen before motioned for everyone to stop, and said as he released his senses.
This group of people is Wuxu and others. Let's say that night, Wuxu sacrificed Xingyun Bamboo, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know it, and Wuxu knew that the person in front of him was not the real Zhu Yuanzhang. Wuxu didn't want to hand over the nine-leaf green lotus lantern to the southeast Buddha country, and after repelling this person, he took advantage of the chaos and fled with everyone; But after thinking about it, this person was most likely a stand-in arranged by Zhu Yuanzhang, so he didn't think about it anymore and went north to this Hongze Lake.
Wuxu released his divine sense and swept it, and indeed only found a few small fish and shrimp, which were affected by the silting of demonic qi in this lake, and there were some mutations. Cai Jing next to him said with a smile, "Master Wuxu doesn't know, that day, in order to eradicate dissidents, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the monks of Jiming Temple to come here several times to exorcise demons, but he sent monks to ambush in the lake. Wu Xuan asked rhetorically, "Is it to send you?" Cai Jing was shocked and hurriedly said, "One of them, it was indeed a Yin Body Confucian cultivator, but the villain was not among them. β
"If there is you, it will be on Lushan, and we will crush you to pieces!" Zhao Qiuhe is the most suitable to look down on Cai Jing's Yin Body Confucian cultivators, if it weren't for Wuxu's plan to save the nine-leaf green lotus lamp, he promised to take him to Lushan, he would have done it a long time ago. Wuxu waved his hand, "The cycle of cause and effect, retribution is unpleasant." Senior Brother Qiuhe and Senior Brother Pingshan, you can get rid of the harmful people and demons in this lake. β
At this moment, the fish and shrimp in the lake, and even the mutated demons, under the pressure of Wuxu and others, were all unable to move, like a nail on the board. Zhao Qiuhe and Lu Pingshan, the two of them flew up, and they all killed each other after dividing them by two. It's just that the vast accumulation of demonic qi has not yet dissipated, and the water and air are all permeated. Wu Xuan then led the crowd, sat cross-legged on the lake, chanted with his palms together, and rested for three days and three nights. On Hongze Lake, the demonic energy dissipated, and the wind and sun were beautiful.
The fishermen living along the lake have burned incense and praised it. Before long, the boat sailed into the center of the lake to catch fish and shrimp. Unexpectedly, the things in the net are all dark green and bright red and other strange colors, and the shape of three heads and two tails is very strange and terrifying. The fishermen were frightened, and they appeared, "The demonic energy here has disappeared, and the demons have been eliminated, but these fish and shrimp have been eroded by the demonic energy for no reason and have become like this." After thinking for a moment, he ingested these mutated fish and shrimp into the sea snail. The sea sound snail, I don't know which side of the world Guanyin Bodhisattva is in, the mountains and sea monsters, the world that is very different from the familiar of Wuxu, and many species are also colored and shaped. These fish and shrimp that have been eroded by demonic energy and mutated are just right when they get there.
As soon as Hongze Lake passed, Wuxu took everyone and went all the way north, during which he traveled all over Xiangguo Temple, White Horse Temple, Wutai Mountain and other places, reminiscing about the past, paying tribute to the sages, participating in Zen and enlightenment, and hoping to find a wonderful method for all people to participate in the dojo. Previously, he realized the appearance of nothingness and self-esteem, and turned the mandala dharma realm of Lamaism into a dojo, hoping to practice with everyone in this way, but unexpectedly, in Dongying Fusang, he was taken away by the unborn (Lu Yeqing) who was incarnated by Guru Padmasambhava's lower realm. Now, there are three solutions in front of Wuxu.
First, as at the beginning, rebuild the Mandala Dharma Realm, and then have no respect for the appearance and contemplate at ease. But there is one point, Wuxu has already done this before, and if he does it again, it will be even more difficult. This is equivalent to falling in love with someone, going through all kinds of things, finally letting go, and now you want to really fall in love with him (her) again, and then really forget about him (her). Wuxu even doubted whether he would really be able to re-cultivate the Mandala Dafa Realm. This is also why Dorjee was extremely disappointed when he knew that he had realized the Void Venerable Appearance, and after he turned to the Dharma Realm.
Second, the sea conch is used as a ready-made dojo to participate with all the fellow practitioners. Spiritually speaking, it is possible, but there is also a problem. As long as Wuxu appears in the sea conch, it will automatically transform into the appearance of Guanyin Bodhisattva. The dojo envisioned by Wuxu is one in which all people are on the same path, without respect, contemplating at ease, and participating in the same practitioners. If enlightenment is transformed into the appearance of Avalokiteshvara, then there is an appearance, which is a great contradiction to the first condition.
Third, the nine-leaf green lotus lamp is used as the dojo. Zhang Cuilu and others have refined this thing, although some people are not here and go with Shihai, and Cheng Song is even more distraught, but with the power of everyone, it can also be completely controlled, as a dojo. It's just that there is also a point, Zhang Cuilu and others died in the lamp at the beginning, and then reborn as spirits in the wick, and in detail, they are the real owners of this lamp, and Wuxu is not. If you use this lamp as a dojo, it will inevitably be a little embarrassing and inconvenient when you get to the back.
Along the way, Wuxu thought left and right, and it was difficult to decide, saying that he had to consult with everyone, and everyone had something to say, but he couldn't decide. Walking and thinking, I unconsciously arrived at the capital of the former Yuan. When he arrived in Dadu, Wuxu naturally took everyone to revisit the Tianyuan Yansheng Temple first.
Emperor Yuan fled north to the desert, Ba Si Pa and other Lamaist masters have gone to Lushan, most of them were ruled by Zhao Tong's demon army for a period of time, after the East China Sea Demon Army invaded the mainland, Zhu Yuanzhang with the help of everyone, with the true dragon spirit, showed his might, repelled the East China Sea Demon Army, and most of them immediately fell into the sphere of influence of Ying Tianfu. The tens of thousands of demon armies, in that night, collapsed into an army, few of them wandered, and they plagued the township, and they were also annihilated one after another. This Tianyuan Yansheng Temple, under this series of turbulent changes, has barely survived, but it is also dilapidated, like a candle in the last years.
Wuxu and others entered the temple, but saw that there was no complete hall, all the traces of smoke and fire were burned, the remnants of the murals were only faintly visible, the wall was broken a little, the weeds were overgrown, the crows and rats were scurrying, such as entering a no-man's land.
In the Daxiong Treasure Hall, after respectfully saluting the statue of the world-honored statue that was broken and leaking, Wuxu couldn't help but sigh, "The world is impermanent, all laws are empty, and the spiritual mountain is only in your heart." When everyone heard this, they also sighed slightly.
Wuxu said again, "The so-called Dharma Realm Dojo, there are no exceptions, and there will be a day when it will collapse. Then he gave up the intention of rebuilding the dojo and participating in the meditation with all the fellow practitioners, and only said the Tao, "The sages have words, and the law does not depend on people." The Dharma is in the Buddha, and there are dojos everywhere. β
"Master, we follow the Master and practice the Dharma. Zhang Cuilu stepped forward and said respectfully, and invited Bi Lanlan, He Xiaohua, and Jiang Dingchun to the ground.
Wuxu waved his hand and held the four of them up, "According to the law, not according to people, the law is in the Buddha, and we are all disciples of the Buddha." He also said to Lu Pingshan and Zhao Qiuhe, "The Hualien Mystic Dharma Sect has existed in name only, and besides, we are originally disciples of the outer sect, and none of the sect's authentic mental methods have been learned. On that day, I made an appointment with Shi Hai at Jiming Temple and asked him to be the head of the White Lotus Sect, hoping that he would be an inner disciple and revitalize the sect. β
"Senior brother, for the sake of that relic, he actually plotted against the same sect, how could a person like him accept such a heavy responsibility and revitalize the sect? Senior brother, you are also a real person cultivating now, and we have many strange treasures such as the Haiyin Conch and the Nine-Leaf Blue Lotus Lamp, it is not difficult to start a sect, and it is even more imminent to revive the Hualien Miaofa Sect!" Lu Pingshan and Zhao Qiuhe glanced at each other and said in unison.
Lu Pingshan and Zhao Qiuhe have also cultivated to a mediocre level, and they can't treasure their bodies. Wu Xuan was on the road before, and proposed to rebuild the Dharma Realm Dojo, and the two of them had already planned that it would be best to use the Nine-Leaf Green Lotus Lantern as the Dojo to revive the Hualien Miaofa Sect. In this way, the two of them naturally participated in the control of the Nine Leaves Qinglian Lantern, and according to the seniority relationship of the entry, their status is still faintly above Zhang Cuilu and others. Fang Cai, Zhang Cuilu and the others actually acquiesced to this proposal, after all, if there was no help from Wuxuan, it would be difficult for them to understand the mystery of the Nine Leaf Green Lotus Lamp.
But Wuxu pondered for a moment and shook his head slightly, "I know your intentions, but if there is a sect, it is inevitable that there will be many fetters, and even those personal dependencies. In the past, there was no respect for each other, and turning the Mandala Dharma Realm into a dojo for fellow practitioners also meant to eliminate these drawbacks. β
Lu Pingshan and Zhao Qiuhe couldn't help but feel cold in their hearts. Lu Pingshan was about to say something more, but was stopped by Zhao Qiuhe. I saw Wuxu clasping his palms together and reciting, "Amitabha! Hualien Miaofa Sect, left in the human world, is gathered in the White Lotus Essence Society, there are monks and laymen, but chanting Buddha and holding precepts, at home monks, there is no distinction between master and apprentice, and then spread outside, fish and dragons are mixed, there are many differences, it is for the White Lotus Sect." Master and apprentice are commensurate, father and son are passed down, the rituals are cumbersome, there are many factions, and they are deeply dusty. If Miao Ming is sincere, seeing the color is color, smelling the fragrance is incense, and so on, the six roots climb, in vain. Nowadays, we must not forget our original intention, we should trace back to the source, practice according to the law, take the precepts as teachers, participate in the same initiation, and jointly prove Bodhi. β
Bi Lanlan said, "It's good to be so good, but putting your hands together and reciting the Buddha's name is a tribute to the Buddhist disciples all over the world." When we wait for Hongchen to practice, we always have to distinguish between them. β
He Xiaohua clasped her hands together, her ten fingers moved slightly, and a misty blue light appeared on it, just like a nine-leaf green lotus, and said with a smile, "The White Lotus Essence Society is named after the White Lotus, why don't I take this as a memory for the time being." But he triggered the nine-leaf green lotus lamp and shot out a Buddha light.
"No respect, no view, such a ball of blue light on the fingers of the junior brother of Wuhua, isn't it suspected of fetishism?" Zhao Qiuhe shook his head slightly and smiled.
Wu Xufu moved his hands again, holding the lotus mudra, "that is, this seal is a mark." When everyone saw it, they all bowed their heads and laughed. The lotus flower is a Buddhist holy relic, according to legend, the world was born on the lotus, stargazing and enlightenment, one step at a time. Now one of the reliance is the nine-leaf green lotus lamp, the name of the Hualien Miao Dharma Sect also contains a lotus lotus word, for Wuxu, this lotus mudra, and is one of the Dharma seals of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and it is also the seal that must be held when practicing the six-character Daming mantra. Nowadays, everyone takes the lotus mudra as a mark, which is the most convenient.
Out of Tianyuan Yansheng Temple, everyone had a big event, and they were in a very good mood, and they all said that since they had arrived in Dadu, the Qianyuan Palace must not go to visit and take a look. It's just that the palace is not like the Tianyuan Yansheng Temple, there is no one in decay, the city head changes the king's flag, the palace always has a master, and after every war, it will be repaired as new quickly. Everyone talked and laughed, and walked to the palace, but they saw that the guards were heavily guarded, and the aura was stagnant, and there were many soldiers and monks guarding it. Wu Xuan Ning Shen probed for a moment, and said with a smile, "It seems that there is no need to break into the palace at night, there are no real monks here, and we can go there during the day." β
Although there are no monks above the real person in the palace, there are many monks, and there are a few breaths that are quite extraordinary, Zhang Cuilu and the others saw Wuxu walking forward, so they also smiled, and were about to fly into the nine-leaf green lotus lamp, so as to perform the invisible technique, and walk in the void. But he heard Wu Xuan laugh in front of him, "Why do you need to be like this, you just need to follow Wu Xuan carefully." Then he saw Wuxu's hands knotted with lotus mudras, and softly spit out a six-character Da Ming mantra at the beginning of the sound, "Hum". The crowd followed him through the flow of people to the open forbidden place outside the palace, and the sergeants near and far turned a blind eye, and the murderous sergeants lined up on either side of the closed main entrance, and the crowd quietly entered the door, as if the heavy and murderous bronze door were like a papier-mΓ’chΓ© painting. In this way, the huge palace, the endless soldiers, the monks with a deep breath, the groveling servants and maidservants, and the arrogant adults were all like dreams.
Halfway through, the Cuilu suddenly stopped and sighed, "Look at it, the door is empty, the hall is empty, and the people are empty." The majestic palace is empty. After that, I couldn't help but tie the lotus handprint, closed my eyes and said nothing, my figure faded, and the light under my feet was like a lotus. Enlightenment suddenly "buzzed", and the rest of the people woke up like a dream, and they also made their own seals and practiced silently.
There is an empowerment in Lamaism, which means that the master uses secret rituals to bless his disciples and teach the Dharma. Wuxu's move is a bit similar, but it is not indoctrination, but sharing, no rituals, no mystery, no need to have the status of master and apprentice, and no need for the disciple to have absolute respect for the master. Of course, this requires the person concerned to be savvy. The so-called initiates participate in the joint participation, which is the participation of the initiates.
While everyone was practicing separately, Wuxu suddenly felt a faint sense of familiarity, coming from the depths of the palace. Previously, Wu Xuan had only made himself and everyone free from physical disabilities in the void, but at this moment, he couldn't help but wonder, how could there still be a trace of familiarity in this place, and it seemed to be left by himself? Wu Xuan released his divine sense to probe, and saw a curled young man in a dark dungeon deep in the palace, unkempt, covered in blood and prohibition. That faintly familiar aura emanated from its abdomen.
Wuxu looked at it for a moment, and then recognized that this young man was that Han Kuang, the son of Han Lin'er, and the last monarch of the Dragon and Phoenix Song Kingdom at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. That trace of familiar breath was a Buddha bead that he had given to him on Hongze Lake before in order to dissolve the demonic qi in his body, and at this moment, the bead was in his abdomen, and he had just cast a spell, and he had a sense.
Wuxu pondered for a moment and rescued him. When removing the prohibition on his body and healing him, Wuxu found that he not only had a Buddha bead of his own, but also a magic weapon in his body. The magic weapon looks like a handkerchief, but it is not cloth or silk, Wu Xuan couldn't help but be stunned, took it out, unfolded slightly, the secret patterns on it are lifelike, and the paintings are not like things in the world, it is a magic flag embroidered by Zhao Tong, but the size is much smaller than the one used.
Wuxu woke up Han Kuang, and after asking carefully, he learned that since Zhu Yuanzhang made a great effort and attracted the qi of the true dragon in the world, most of the tens of thousands of demon troops were killed and injured, and Han Kuang had to lead the remnants to withdraw from the capital. To the desert, he was attacked and killed by the Mobei Yuan Court. In this way, he almost became a loner. Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill him, and Yuan Ting also wanted to kill him, hiding in Tibet all day long, but he didn't want to be captured in Dadu the day before yesterday.
After hearing this, Wuxu couldn't help sighing, "You also have a little bit of cultivation, and you have my Buddha beads and Zhao Tong's magic flag, and it is difficult for ordinary people to hurt you, why don't you hide it first, but go to the capital." β
Han Kuang replied, "In the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, Han Kuang was summoned by Miss Zhao, saying that he would meet in the Yueshu Pavilion in Dadu during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, and he would take me to Lushan when the time came. I didn't want to, I waited for a day and a night in Shuge that month, until the sixteenth night, Miss Zhao still didn't appear, but she was discovered by Zhu Yuanzhang's dog thief's men, and several people beat me and arrested me. β
Yueshu Pavilionγγγγγ Wuxu couldn't help but recall the dramatic meeting with Zhao Tong on the night he entered the capital. "Zhao Tong, she is now in a state of disillusionment, and it is difficult to resurrect, how can she come to take you to Lushanγγγγγγ Wuxu couldn't help but look sideways, and in the corner of the capital, the Yueshu Pavilion was vaguely visible.
"The power of the Buddha bead is not great, but it also has a bit of defensive power, Zhao Tong's demon flag is mainly attacking and killing, it is difficult for ordinary monks to deal with, there are no real monks here, even if a few beat you, you can protect yourself. Wuxu asked casually while looking farther away, the clouds on the horizon were changing, and Lushan was gone.
"The Buddha beads given by the master and the magic flag given by Miss Zhao have been used by Han Kuang many times, and he has only escaped from death when he turns evil into good fortune. Han Kuang lowered his head weakly, "At the beginning of the year, my spiritual strength was greatly damaged, and I thought that I would definitely die in a death battle, so I swallowed the Buddha beads and the magic flag into my stomach, I didn't want them to fall into the hands of outsiders, so I could be regarded as a burial for myself." β
Wuxu heard the words for a while, and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything, and then looked at Han Kuang, who still looked like a teenager, and asked, "What are your plans now?"
Han Kuang looked around, Zhang Cuilu and the others were practicing, their figures were hazy and elegant in the aura, and they couldn't help but show envy on their faces, with a hint of cunning in their voices, "Kuang'er wants to ask the master to take Kuang'er to Lushan and find Miss Zhao." β
Wuxu had expected it and sighed, "Later, I will take you to Lushan." β
After everyone finished practicing, Wuxu took Han Kuang out of the palace, took Cai Jing who was left outside, and flew straight towards Lushan. In an instant, when he was about to fly over the capital, Wuxu couldn't help but stop slightly, looking towards the Yueshu Pavilion below, the pavilions and pavilions were no longer the old ones.
At this time, the monks in the palace seemed to have discovered that Han Kuang had escaped, and seven or eight people flew out, in groups of two, flying in all directions. One of them went straight to the pavilion in that month.
"It's them!" Han Kuang said angrily, "It's these two people who captured Kuang'er and tortured them in every way." β
Wu Xuan looked at it, it was really a coincidence, it turned out to be the Golden Snake and Han Shuanghu who had met in Handangshan outside the capital earlier.
"It turned out to be these two little demons, who originally helped the Yuan Court to go on the southern expedition, but later saw that the Yuan Court was gone, and followed the Quanzhen Sect to join King Wu and serve in the army. Master, wait a moment, and wait for the juniors to accept these two demons!" Cai Jing was not brought into the palace by Wuxu, and he was worried in his heart, and when he saw the opportunity, he preemptively said.
"Go to Lushan!" Wu Xu's hand knotted the lotus seal, and he chanted while flying with everyone, "
I came from afar, and I traveled most of the capital when I was young.
General Zhao was the pearl of the sea.
The moon recalls the deceased, and only then does he know the bitterness of reincarnation.
And take this body and go up the mountain to fight the tiger.
