Chapter 152: The Origin of the Affair The Secret History of Buddhism
The Buddha looked at Sun Wukong, who was covered with golden flames and an invincible aura, and nodded, and Sun Wukong dispersed the flames, his breath was restrained, and he stood behind Tang Seng again.
"Tianpeng, you enter my Buddha gate, all the way to protect the Dharma meritorious, as the pure altar messenger, the Bodhisattva fruit, the curtain also protects the Dharma, and is named the golden-bodied Arhat, the Bodhisattva fruit. ”
The name is different, the title is the same, all are the bodhisattva fruit position, in Buddhism, the single wheel level is already a proper high-level, the canopy and the roller blinds are happy, and they bow down to Rulai.
"Buddha, you seem to have missed one, so there is still a dragon horse. ”
Sun Wukong pointed to the white dragon horse who was watching outside the hall.
"Hehe, I was negligent, since I have the support to defeat the Buddha, I will crown him as the Eight Heavenly Dragons and be an Arhat. ”
Sun Wukong opened his mouth, the Buddha gave Sun Wukong face, and named Ao Lie as an Arhat, in terms of identity and status, he was much higher than his Laozi Dragon King of the West Sea, Ryoma hurriedly bowed his head and bowed, but it was not Rulai who worshipped, but Sun Wukong, this upright official second generation knew in his heart that his position was given by the boss.
Since then, Sun Wukong's power in Buddhism has had a basic framework, with two Bodhisattvas under his command, Zhu Bajie and Sha Monk, and an Arhat of Longma Aolie, the three of them have become Sun Wukong's hardcore henchmen, of course, they have also secretly hidden the three big demons of the Lion Camel Country, counting up, in Buddhism, Sun Wukong's subordinate power has surpassed Maitreya Buddha.
What Sun Wukong didn't expect was that Master Xuanzang, who was back to the golden cicada, and now the Zhantan Meritorious Buddha, will always stand firmly on his side in the future and support himself unconditionally, which is a later story.
"Buddha, the disciple has a request, and I hope the Buddha will approve it. ”
This newly crowned Buddha of Zhantan Merit folded his hands, bowed to Rulai, and then spoke.
"What's the request?"
"The disciple wants to return to Nanzhan Buzhou with the Sanzang Sutra, and from then on sit in the Tang Dynasty, promote Buddhism, and purify all sentient beings. ”
Today's golden cicada, because of the memory of Tang Seng, no longer wants to stay in Lingshan, and is dedicated to staying away from the struggle between right and wrong and promoting the Buddhism in his heart, so he asks the Buddha for it.
"If you have this idea, very good, very good, you can go to the southern Zhanbu continent, find a dojo, carry forward the Dharma with your heart, and save thousands of living beings in that continent, this is a good thing with immeasurable merit. ”
Hearing Tang Seng's request, Rulai's face was happy, the West Heaven is just the beginning, and in the future, vigorously promote Buddhism in Nanzhan Buzhou, is the goal, with Tang Seng personally going back to show up to say the Dharma, sitting in the Tang Dynasty, it is naturally a good thing, so he readily agreed.
The reward has been completed, all the Buddhist high-level have congratulated Sun Wukong and Tang Seng and others, such as the Buddha encouraged everyone a few words, and let the Venerable Jiaye lead Tang Seng to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to receive the three Tibetan scriptures, and took everyone to the Leiyin Temple to rest.
At the same time, Buddhism announced to the world that the people in the Three Realms already knew that the scripture-learning team had successfully walked to Lingshan, received a reward in Buddhism, had an official status, and was protected by Buddhism.
And the news that Sun Wukong has become the top of Da Luo, like a whirlwind, blows all over every corner of the Three Realms, and all cultivators with a little status have already known that today's Sun Wukong, in addition to the name of Monkey King, has more honorific titles to defeat the Buddha, and the deterrent effect is even greater.
"Wukong, in a few days I will return to the Tang Dynasty with the scriptures, I want to be there, promote the Buddhism in my heart, after this separation, when will I see you next time, it depends on fate, this way, thanks to you, I can regain my wisdom and be reborn, thank you." ”
Although Tang Seng has become a Buddha, he attaches great importance to the memory of this life, especially the way of learning scriptures, the words that Sun Wukong said to him, and the inadvertent impact on him, have deeply changed the former golden cicada.
"It's okay for you to go back to Datang to cultivate Buddhism with peace of mind, you are not suitable to participate in the battle here, but you should also be careful in Datang, I have calculated that the killing and robbery will be prosperous in Datang, but I don't know when it will break out, there, I'm afraid it won't be peaceful in the future, if you really have something, you can go to Huaguo Mountain to find me." ”
Sun Wukong instructed Tang Seng a few words, and then led Zhu Bajie, Sha Monk and Longma Ao Lie to leave.
On the second day, Tang Seng took the scriptures, rose from the clouds, went straight to Nanzhan Buzhou, returned to the Tang Dynasty two days later, and appeared directly in the Great Ci'en Temple, after the Tang King heard the news, he led the civil and military officials to come to worship, and translated the scriptures brought back by the Tang monk into the Chinese language, which was widely spread in the Tang Dynasty, and for a time, Buddhism flourished, and the number of believers surged.
Tang Seng is also in the Great Mercy Grace Temple, using great magic to open up an independent space, living in seclusion here, often changing into ordinary monks on weekdays, going out everywhere to enlighten the world.
And Sun Wukong is much busier than Tang Seng.
Originally, I wanted to take Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha directly back to Huaguo Mountain in Dongsheng Shenzhou, and let Ryoma return to Xihai first, but I didn't know that I was summoned by the Buddha alone the next day.
"Sun Wukong, I hope you can do your best to help me suppress the burning of the lamp, as long as this seat has accumulated enough Buddha power and merits, and become holy in one fell swoop, then Buddhism will be handed over to you to be in charge, let you be the Buddha, this seat will also try its best to ensure that you are immortal in this great world, and seek the opportunity to become holy. ”
In order to win over Sun Wukong, the Buddha was full of sincerity and made great conditions.
Sun Wukong naturally will not refuse, expressed his willingness to help the Buddha, the two sides reached a friendly negotiation, just left the residence of the Buddha, the ancient Buddha on the lamp let the Venerable Baixiong send an invitation, please see Sun Wukong.
This is the first time that the ancient Buddha invited Sun Wukong, and it was also the first time that Sun Wukong was contacted in terms of teaching.
In a side hall in the Great Leiyin Temple, the ancient Buddha and Sun Wukong sat on the ground on the lamp, drinking tea, and chatting without a word.
"Does the Great Sage know the story of Nuwa mending the sky in the past?" said the ancient Buddha casually.
"A little bit of it. ”
Sun Wukong opened his mouth to answer, and he didn't understand what the big guy meant by talking about this matter.
"In the past, the co-workers broke Buzhou Mountain, causing cracks in the sky, and a large number of void winds blew into the heavens and the earth, killing many creatures in the heavens and the earth. ”
The ancient Buddha took a sip of tea and continued.
"After mending the sky, there was still one piece left of the five-color divine stone that was originally refined, and it was taken by the Dao Ancestor and made some changes to make it fit the law of Zhou Tian and placed it on the Huaguo Mountain of Dongsheng Shenzhou, and the stone absorbed tens of thousands of years of sun essence and moonlight, and finally gave birth to a stone monkey, which is the Great Sage. ”
It turned out that what Ran Deng said turned out to be Sun Wukong's life!
"Then Dao Ancestor split into the Nether Realm, incarnated as Bodhi Ancestor and ignited the Great Sage, and taught the Great Sage the skills of the Great Sage, for today, the Great Sage. ”
If it is still the previous Monkey King, after listening to these words, he may have fallen to the side of Daozu and Teaching, but it is a pity that the current Monkey King is the reincarnation of the Absolute Immortal Sword Spirit, and he is not moved by these things at all.
"Dao Ancestor, what does the old man want me to do in the future?"
Although he was unmoved, on his face, Sun Wukong still pretended to be very excited and asked.
"Dao Ancestor hopes that you will help me regain the control of Buddhism!
Speaking of which, the ancient Buddha on the lamp was not as indifferent and casual as it was at the beginning, but with a hint of anger!
It turned out that when Lao Tzu turned Hu into a Buddha, he once used to be a person in the exposition and interception of the teaching, such as the lamp and Duobao, have joined the Buddhism, among them, there are many secrets that outsiders do not know, today in order to win over Sun Wukong, light the lamp on the ancient Buddha, decided to inform Sun Wukong of these things.
