Chapter 33: The Mysterious White-faced Mountain
The two of them arrived at their destination at an unaware speed. Looking up, this white-faced mountain, which was worshiped by everyone, turned out to be just a not very majestic mountain range. It should be said that the most special thing about it is that there is a piece of white rock and soil on this southeast-facing mountain that is particularly eye-catching. This white mountain is so large and remarkable that it occupies almost a quarter of the entire mountain, and there is no grass on it. This large area of white from the bottom to the top is reflected by the surrounding vegetation, and from a distance, it looks like a human face growing on a mountain. No wonder people call it Whiteface Mountain.
At the foot of this white-faced mountain is a bend in the turbulent river. The river is blue and clear, the waves are rolling, and the tiny waves are murmuring, and it meanders through here and then goes straight to the east.
At this time, the most striking thing here is the triangular plain formed by the river and the mountains at the foot of the mountain, and a large number of people have gathered in this area the size of a tilt. These people were in groups of three or five, or alone, standing or sitting, squatting or kneeling, with packages placed in front of them, and where there were many people, the packages were piled up in one place, and when they looked up, they saw a temple with blue tiles and red walls on the top of the mountain. Looking back at the path when I came, there were still people coming over without stopping. This fiery scene is very similar to a human gathering, but the difference is that the atmosphere here is full of mystery and worship.
Peony Yong and Ula Quack quietly approached the white mountain at the foot of the mountain, Peony Yong stepped forward and reached out to touch the white rock mass, but unexpectedly the palm of his hand was suddenly bounced back. "There's a forbidden barrier!" he muttered.
As soon as Ula quacked this, he stepped back a little, and then slapped his palms violently, and he used seven or eight points of force, but he was shaken and almost fell.
Peony Yong muttered as he carefully examined the white mountain rock, "It seems that there is indeed a person who can do magic here. Could it really be that the disciple of Liuli Guangrulai has descended to earth? This seems impossible. How can this be?—— look at the composition of this mountain, it is very similar to pearl earth. However, generally speaking, only 100-year-old pearls can be crushed into powder before they can be used in medicine or practice. Although it does contain keratin, a variety of amino acids and a variety of trace elements such as silver, selenium, manganese, zinc, copper, etc., it is impossible to cure all diseases... I heard my aunt say that there is a kind of pearl soil in this world, but it is much less effective than the powder that has been crushed by pearls for thousands of years. Could it be that this is pearl clay? Now that someone has found it, it is used to cure diseases and save people?"
"Can soil still save people? Ula croaked his right palm, leaned over and said in disbelief.
Peony explained: "Although my aunt is used to make beauty and skin care products, my aunt said that it can also be used as medicine. Because pearls have the effects of calming the nerves, brightening the eyes, detoxifying and building muscles, etc., they can also improve human immunity, delay aging, and replenish calcium. Now the most important thing is, who is this medicine?"
Ula pursed her lips with an "oh", and then said, "If that's the case, then it doesn't have anything to do with the treasure we're looking for?"
That's not what he said. Ullah, you think, if you have a treasure weapon in your hand, this magic medicine can be trusted to cure all diseases. However, if he said that he was a disciple of the Buddha who came down to do this, I don't believe it. But anyway, since we're already here, we don't know how to be willing, and we have set up an enchantment! I'm afraid that the people will grab the soil?" said Peony Yong, clapping his palm.
"And what are we going to do?" asked Ullah.
Peony Yong thought for a moment and said, "Let's take a look around this mountain first, can he still set up an enchantment for the entire mountain? I still don't believe it! Even if the disciple of Liuli Guangrulai descends to earth, we will meet him, so what!"
As they spoke, they walked in the opposite direction along the foot of the mountain. Because there was no road at the foot of the mountain, there were weeds, shrubs, trees, vines, wild flowers, and other stumbling things, and there were also gravel and ditches blocking the way, which was very difficult to walk.
Why do you not believe that this little prince of the flower world, Peony Yong, is a disciple of Liuli Guangrulai?
Because of this Medicine Master Liuli Guang Rulai, translated as Medicine Master Liuli Guang Wang Rulai, referred to as Medicine Master Rulai, Liuli Light Buddha, etc., is the leader of the Oriental Pure Glass World. Why is it named after a pharmacist? It is a metaphor for a physician who can cure sentient beings of greed, ignorance, and ignorance; In the name of the glaze, it is to take the light and thoroughness of the glaze to metaphor the meaning of the land is quiet and unstained.
According to the Buddhist theory, the world is deduced, that is, from the world of sampa where all sentient beings are located to the east, after passing through the Buddha country with so many sand numbers in the ten Ganges, there is a world called Pure Glass, which is the Pure Land formed by the Medicine Master Liuli Guang Nyolai with supreme wishing power. There are no women, no voices, no lust, no dirt, no evil ways and no bitter sounds. The ground is made of silver and glass, and all the houses are made of seven treasures, and their merits are solemn. In this world, there are also Sunlight Bodhisattvas and Moonlight Bodhisattvas who assist the Medicine Master Liuliguang Nyorai to educate sentient beings.
Therefore, in this mortal world, it is very suspicious that an immortal with the banner of the glazed Buddha suddenly appeared, and set up an altar here to distribute medicine.
At this moment, suddenly hearing the sound of people at the foot of the mountain, Peony Yong and Ula Quack couldn't help but stop and look back. I saw a god wearing a hat covering his face, surrounded by smoke, flying down from the top of the mountain and circling down, and in the midst of the worship and praise of the people, he flew like that and quickly took away the packages placed in front of the people, and then put down the few large and small medicine bags, and then rose away. When he was about to disappear to the top of the mountain, a rough male voice with an echo came from the air: "Take the powder with ten dollars of water, and take one pill a day." Remember, remember. Then he was gone.
The people who got the medicine were ecstatic, holding the medicine bag as if they had been given their lives, and after kowtowing countless times, people began to return one after another, and those who did not get the medicine were a little disappointed, but they still waited on their knees with eagerness.
This scene stunned the two fairy boys. No wonder the people in the mortal world are so convinced, it seems that this person does have some means, and this behavior is also very grotesque! This further deepened Peony Yong's desire to find out.
He said to Ullah, "It's strange! Do the gods also accept human objects? How do you feel familiar with this person? He is full of smoke, not like a god from the upper realm, where could he come from?"
Ula croaked and said, "Why do you want to do so much!
"That's right, let's go. Peony Yong thinks about it, this is close at hand, go up to ask for advice, everything will be clear. The two men continued their journey in a south-west direction, and after walking for about half a day, they turned due west, where they found a path up the mountain.
