Chapter 453

Although there are already Buddhist temples in some remote areas of Nanchanbu Continent, these Buddhist temples are not well-known, and the monks are far less intelligent than the two people of Chemoteng and Zhu Falan, these two people's Buddhism has been cultivated to Yuanjue, and after spreading the Buddhist Taoism, it is natural to go to the West to become a Buddha as an ancestor. Rulai has made a promise to the two of them that after the Dharma is transmitted to the eastern soil, they will be invited to come to the spiritual mountain and receive incense from believers from all over the world.

The city lord smiled and said, "Okay, good! Lord Cai wants to meet the two holy monks, and he will definitely introduce them." ”

In the past few months, the people here have been extremely convinced of Buddhism, and when they came to this city, the city lord had already admired the great name for a long time, and after talking with them about the Dharma once, they only felt that the five bodies had fallen to the ground! The two monks exerted their magical powers in the city and helped some poor people, but their reputation was even greater. Cai Su came at the right time.

Your Majesty has been yearning for the Western saints for a long time, and I invited these two people to go back to spread the Dharma, which can be regarded as a matter of Your Majesty's intentions. ”

The city lord said: "The Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty is indeed wise, but Lord Cai is also a capable minister and can solve problems for the Son of Heaven." ”

Cai Su hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" The city lord said seriously. Can you invite those two holy monks to come now?"

The city lord smiled: "Lord Cai is too anxious, you have come from afar, the wind and dust are blowing in your face, you should have good news, I will introduce you to your lord tomorrow." ”

Cai Su nodded and said happily: "Okay, good! Then it will bother the city lord." I thought to myself: "Your Majesty's errand has finally been successfully completed, and I should also be promoted and go down in history." ”

The envoys from the Han Dynasty were in the city lord's mansion, drinking freely, the wind and frost in the past few months have made them complain, and now they can finally eat and drink well, take a rest, and tomorrow they will be able to see the people His Majesty the Emperor wants, and from time to time, they will be able to return to the Han Dynasty.

After eating and drinking nonsense, the envoys of the Han Dynasty slept in the side rooms arranged by the city lord, and naturally the beauties of the Western Regions were indispensable to serve them. One night**, the taste of which does not need to be expressed more.

When I woke up the next day, under the service of the orchid, I put on my official robes, and it was already three poles of the sun.

Cai Su and other envoys came to the city lord's mansion and asked the city lord to introduce the sage of the West, the Buddha dreamed of by Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty.

In fact, the Jin man dreamed of by Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Han Ming Dynasty was the one who came to support his dream, but how high the status of Rulai was, and how could he go down the mountain to surrender his identity? In the past, in order to spread the Dharma in Xiniuhezhou, he was reincarnated as Shakyamuni, turned into a prince, practiced Buddhism, and became a Buddha after 500 years, which made Buddhism spread throughout the Western Regions. However, there is no doubt that the country of Prince Shakyamuni perished because of this, and there is no doubt that those who have become insane or mentally ill because of Zen meditation are even more difficult to mention.

The lord of the city said, "Please follow me to the nearest temple to meet the two holy monks. ”

One of Cai Su's subordinates couldn't help frowning and reprimanded, "We are the envoys of the Great Han, why don't we let those two monks come to see us?!"

The city lord was unhappy in his heart, and said: "The two monks are enlightened beings, and they don't ask for anything, and we come to the door on weekdays. ”

Cai Yu hurriedly said: "Hey, don't be rude, those two monks are Western saints, Your Majesty specially ordered us to invite them to return to China to preach Taoism, don't you want to ruin Your Majesty's big things?"

Among this group of people, it was Cai Su as the leader, and as soon as he spoke, naturally no one dared to say anything. Originally, the city lord was unhappy, but he was happy because of Cai Su's words, he was a devout Buddhist, and he categorically did not want to listen to outsiders say bad things about Buddhism. Seeing that the Han envoy was rude, if he was not afraid that his country would be blamed by the Han, I am afraid that he would have scolded him a long time ago, the Han Dynasty was too strong, even if the Pure Water Country was so far away from the Great Han, they were definitely capable of sending troops to sweep the Pure Water Country away.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please. The lord of the city led the way in front of the head, and an envoy from the Han Dynasty followed behind.

This temple is a branch of the Pure Water Temple, most of the temples in the Pure Water Country are called the Pure Water Temple, Cai Su and others set foot in this area, they saw that the temple flashed with two Buddha lights, as if there was a great awakened person in the practice of the general, and suddenly heard the Sanskrit singing bursts, making people happy, all over the body.

Cai Suxi said: "Sure enough, there is a great sage, a great enlightened one! This Sanskrit sound makes my whole body feel comfortable, as if the aches and pains in my body have disappeared." ”

Cai Su and the others came in the dust, walking every day, even if they were riding on a horse, they were also bumped and sore, and when they approached the Pure Water Temple, they immediately felt that the fatigue on their bodies seemed to be all dispelled.

"Lord Cai, please. "The city lord said.

"Lord of the Castle, please. Cai Su smiled, his heart was quite excited, he felt that there was little hope in the past few months, and now he saw that he was about to complete the task, and he couldn't help but rejoice.

The city lord walked into the temple and said loudly: "Two holy monks, there are angels from the East who come to see you!"

The Sanskrit sound inside immediately stopped, and then I saw two bald monks in robes walking out, these two people were as white as pink, red lips and white teeth, a pair of eyes were as bright as stars, the bridge of the nose was straight, and they looked like beautiful men.

"The poor monk has seen the angel of the Han Dynasty, and the poor monk is called Morteng." ”

Zhu Falan said: "Poor monk Zhu Falan, I have seen all the angels. ”

The Han Dynasty was known as the Heavenly Empire, so the envoys of the Han Dynasty were called "angels", messengers of heaven, which was an honorific title. Liu Zhuanggui is the emperor of today, not the king of these small countries can be compared, even if he comes, he must be respectful to Liu Zhuang, the emperor of the Eastern Turen is the person who carries the fortune of heaven, although the "divine right of the monarch" is the means for the emperor to strengthen his throne, but every emperor is born in accordance with the way of heaven. For example, the Chengtang foundation should be destroyed, so there is Prince Xin, which really makes the Chengtang foundation ruined;

Cai Su also learned from the two monks to fold their hands, bowed and said: "I have seen two holy monks, I am an envoy of the Han Dynasty, and Zhonglang will Cai Su." ”

The other envoy also bowed to introduce himself, and the dissatisfied envoy just now was no longer arrogant at the moment, only feeling that the two people in front of him were as rich as jade, which seemed to make people have a kind of closeness, and there was a strange charm, which made people feel a sense of awe.

Chemten and Zhu Flange saluted the envoys one by one, showing great respect.

"The two holy monks of Mo Teng and Zhu Falan, I dreamed of the golden man in the middle of the night today, walking in the hall, knowing that this is auspicious from the sky, and the golden man is the Buddha of the West. Therefore, I sent us to the West to ask Buddha for advice, so that the two holy monks could be welcomed back to the court, preach Taoism, and protect our court. Cai Yu arched his hand.

"Oh!" Morteng and Zhu Falan glanced at each other, and couldn't help but smile, it seems that what Patriarch Bodhidharma said is good, and the opportunity has come.

Zhu Falan said: "Spreading the law of my Buddha's compassion is the great wish of my life, since Lord Cai and His Majesty the Son of Heaven of your country attach so much importance to us, then let's go!"

Morteng said: "The envoys of your country have come from thousands of miles away, and they can also see their sincerity. I'm not waiting for Jinshi, I should go to your country with Lord Cai. ”

Cai Su rubbed his hands together, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said, "Okay, well, those two holy monks see when we will leave?"

Morteng said: "Lord Cai came from afar, and he was extremely tired all the way. Why don't we rest here for two days, eat fasting and recite the Buddha, and then we set off together?"

Cai Su had already had the intention to learn some Buddhism, and he would be close to His Majesty when he went back, and then he would be promoted to become rich, and he was even more happy when he heard what he said.

Cai Yu arched his hand and said: "Then I have to thank the two holy monks, I have admired Buddhism for a long time, and I also ask the two holy monks to give advice." ”

Zhu Flange and Shi Morteng said in unison: "Certainly, definitely!"

The envoys of the Han Dynasty then settled down in the Pure Water Temple, and listened to the lectures of Mo Teng and Zhu Falan every day, and only felt that this Buddhism was profound and profound, which made people respect.

It is said that Cai Su and other heavenly envoys from the Han Dynasty arrived in the country of pure water, and were led by the city lord to the Pure Water Temple to meet the apprentices of the two Dharma patriarchs, Se Mo Teng and Zhu Falan, these two people are the messengers who chose to go east to spread Buddhism.

Therefore, when the two of them preached their own Taoism, they did their best, and talked to Cai Su and others every day. And, Cai Su and others naturally want to learn more Buddhism, turn around to make a name for themselves, and by the way, please Emperor Liu Zhuang, who is today. This is also a wish to fight a wish, but I don't know, the future generations will not develop like the history of Wukong's previous life, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the eunuch dictatorship led to chaos in the palace, the collapse of the society, and the rise of the heroes, Cao Mengde ordered the princes with the Son of Heaven, and Zhou Yu beat the board of the yellow cover. In fact, Wukong thinks about it carefully, the disputes of the three kingdoms seem to have the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism among them, and even the rest of the Taoist systems that bloomed in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Dongtu has always been a big dish, no one doesn't want to get a piece of the pie here in Dongtu, the people in the south of the Toad Continent are the most, and the Taoist system is believed, and the incense will be greatly increased, and even the luck of the Taoist system will be strengthened.

There are people preaching in the temple every day, and the king of the country of pure water has also left the capital because of the arrival of the messenger of the Han Dynasty and is on his way here.

The arrangement of the city lord is to wait for the king to come, feast for three days, do enough etiquette, and then let Cai Su, the envoys of the Heavenly Dynasty, leave, otherwise it will inevitably be criticized, saying that the people of the Pure Water Country do not know etiquette.

Cai Su and other envoys listened to the lectures of Mo Teng and Zhu Falan day and night, and also felt that Buddhism was profound and profound, although there were many sophistries in it, but it did not affect it. The Taoist system is relatively chaotic, and many ideas are conflicting with each other, and even some are repulsive.

However, there is also a conflict between the ideas of the Mahayana and Hinayana sects of Buddhism, but if it has come and now, it is the respect of governing the world, and the Mahayana Buddhism has been vividly explained. Naturally, the two of them were also handy, and they just talked about the concept of the Buddha, and they made people dizzy.

Yang Jian and Qi Tiandao sat on the clouds, and Yang Jian said: "This person of Buddhism is really hateful, and he actually bewitched the officials of the Dongtu Dynasty. All of these Dharmas are sophistry, and now the teachings of Amitabha and Zhun Ti have been distorted to such an extent!

Qi Tiandao smiled strangely and said, "Brother Yang, don't worry, let's see how these people jump their feet." Now that he is still in the middle of Xiniu Hezhou, the Zhenyuan Daxian went to the Yuxu Palace to listen to the lecture, and has not returned so far, so he must not act rashly and provoke the masters of Buddhism, and it will be difficult for you and me to fly when the time comes! When these two monks enter the eastern soil, we will defeat them in the court of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, wouldn't it be happy?"

When Yang Jian heard this, he couldn't help but nod his head again and again, and said: "What Qi Tian Daoyou said is right, when they enter the Eastern Soil, my Dao Sect master will definitely not sit idly by, and he must be to slap their face above the court, and see how they still have the face to spread their Buddhism in the Eastern Soil?"

There are also countless capable people in the East Earth Daomen, such as the Shushan faction, which is all swordsmen, do not cultivate the outer Taoist method, only cultivate a sword, the human sword is one, and dominate the world; and then there is the Maoshan faction, the Maoshan faction, the cultivation of the talisman, can be used to perform all kinds of methods, summon ghosts and gods; there is also the dragon and tiger mountain is together, the cultivation is the thunder method, thunderbolt thunder, slaying demons and demons, the power is quite terrifying; there is also the Wudang faction, practicing yin and yang Taoism, capable people come out in large numbers, the ancestor of the Wudang faction is the true martial emperor, how strong it is, you can imagine.

Qi Tiandao people are determined to stop the Buddha from crossing to the east this time, if not for anything else, in order to reverse their fate, if there is no previous foreshadowing, Tang Taizong Li Shimin will not let Tang Xuanzang go west to learn the scriptures. In fact, Tang Seng was also forced to be helpless at the beginning, the so-called cannibalism has a short mouth and a soft hand, Li Shimin is so good to him, and named him the royal brother, let him go west to learn scriptures, if he doesn't follow, he will inevitably be drowned by saliva.

When Tang Seng had not yet awakened the memory of the golden cicada, he was a selfish, timid and fearful person, until Lao Tzu's dream clicked, he suddenly woke up, and then used the treasure box of the past life to reverse time and space.

Thinking of this section, Wukong will inevitably have times of embarrassment, life is unsatisfactory, but he was born to be a chess player, which is also a kind of sadness.

Although Qi Tiandao and Wukong are from the origin, but after all, their personalities are different, but what they think of is whether they are going against the sky, if Li Shimin is really born, he will be directly beaten to death, so that Sui will destroy the Tang, so that the westward journey will not be over. However, if you do this, it is tantamount to being contaminated with great cause and effect with the Heavenly Dao, although the saints can't see that Qi Tiandao and Wukong are from the same origin, but the Heavenly Dao is above, without any feelings, looking down on everything, when the time comes, the sky will kill him, I'm afraid he will turn to ashes.
