Chapter 205: Consummation (1)
Lingshan is near, the merit is about to be completed, and the mood of everyone in the journey to the west is also relaxed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The four of them walked briskly, and after walking for six or seven days, they saw a row of tall buildings.
The buildings are 100 feet high, stand in the air, carve beams and paint buildings, and the weather is extraordinary.
In front of the tall building, there was a mountain gate, and a Taoist priest stood in front of the mountain gate and greeted him from afar: "It's the person who came to learn the scriptures from the Tang Dynasty?"
Sun Wukong recognized the Taoist priest and introduced to everyone: "This is the golden-topped immortal of the Jade True Temple at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, come to greet us!"
Jinding Daxian welcomed Tang monks and apprentices into the temple, provided tea and rice, provided accommodation, and prepared hot water for them to bathe.
Early the next morning, Tang Seng put on a brocade robe, put on a lotus crown, held a nine-ring tin staff, and couldn't wait to climb Ling Mountain.
Under the guidance of the Golden Peak Immortal, the Tang monks and apprentices crossed the Yuzhen Temple and came to the back door of the Taoist Temple.
When I went out the back door, I saw a mountain exuding colorful auspicious light in the distance, towering into the clouds.
"Holy monk, the one who radiates colorful auspicious light is Lingshan!"
Everyone looked up at Lingshan and sighed.
Lingshan is indeed beautiful, but in Zhu Tianpeng's eyes, it is also ordinary, and the neon night scene of later generations is more than several times stronger than this, and he has long lost his freshness.
He was thinking, if he wants to go up to Lingshan, why do he have to go through the Jade True Temple?
How can a Taoist, a Buddhist sect, enter the base camp of Buddhism, but go to the Taoist temple? Whose design is this? What does it mean?
Debutant, enter the door of Buddhism?
This explanation is reasonable. You see, the two saints of Buddhism are disciples of Hongjun Daozu, and many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Buddhism are transferred from the various Taoist sects, and Buddhism originates from Taoism.
Presumably, those Buddhas and Bodhisattvas entering and leaving the Jade True Temple are very intimate, right?
When Lao Zhu was thinking nonsense, the Golden Peak Immortal had already said goodbye and left, returning to the Jade True Temple.
Sun Wukong led Tang Seng, Zhu Tianpeng led the white dragon horse, and Monk Sha carried the luggage, everyone was happy in their hearts, and their feet were fast, and they unconsciously walked out of the road of six or seven miles and came to a rushing river.
There are no ferries on the river, only a long bridge.
Approaching the long bridge, I found that there was an inscription on the head of the bridge, which read the words "Lingyundu", and the long bridge was still a slender single-plank bridge.
When Tang Seng saw the single-plank bridge, he panicked and said: "This bridge is not for people, let's find another way!"
Actually, he was right, this bridge is indeed not for mortals, and this river is not for mortals to cross!
No matter how Sun Wukong persuaded him, Tang Seng just didn't go to the bridge. While in a dilemma, a ferry boat rowed downstream.
When the ferry approached, it turned out to be a broken boat with no bottom!
Sun Wukong shouted happily: "Get on the boat, get on the boat!"
Tang Seng's face was pale, and he asked the captain who was holding the boat: "You don't even have the bottom of the boat, how can you cross the river?"
The captain praised his broken boat, saying that the ship had existed when Hongmeng first opened, and it was spotless and indestructible, and it was specially used to surpass the world.
Seeing that Tang Seng was still hesitating, Sun Wukong was very impatient, and his hands grabbed Tang Seng's armpits from behind, and pushed him onto the ferry.
Tang Seng was caught off guard and landed in the middle of the ferry, and the middle belly of the bottomless boat had nothing but river water, and his body sank straight down.
Fortunately, the captain was fast, grabbed Tang Seng, lifted him up, and put him on the bow of the boat, so that Tang Seng could stand firm.
Although it is a broken boat, it has a lot of size, Sun, Zhu, Sha and Bailongma all got on the ferry, and the bow of the boat could stand away.
The stern captain saw that everyone had boarded the boat, and with a long penny in his hand, the broken boat left the shore and slid into the middle of the river.
The boat was walking in the river, and everyone saw a corpse floating upstream, which looked exactly like Tang Seng!
Tang Seng was dumbfounded and speechless.
Sun Wukong smiled: "Master, don't be afraid, that person turned out to be you!"
The corpse kept approaching, and it did look the same as Tang Seng, Lao Zhu had some understanding in his heart, knowing that it was the real body of the golden cicada, and also said: "Master, that is indeed you!"
Sha Seng also joked: "Master, it's you!"
The captain laughed and said, "That's you, congratulations!"
The four of them all said, "It's you!It's you!" Tang Seng was stunned. At this moment, the corpse passed under the broken boat, and after Tang Seng shivered, he came to his senses and saw that the corpse had drifted downstream.
Looking at Tang Seng again, Lao Zhu found that Tang Seng, who was originally a mortal body, was now full of aura.
When Tang Seng was stunned, Jin Cicada's true body was reversed with his mortal body!
In a sense, Master Xuanzang who learned the scriptures no longer exists, and now it is the golden cicada who is broken on the ship.
However, looking at Tang Seng's expression, most of the golden cicadas' consciousness has not yet awakened, and it is still the will of mortals in this life that is dominant.
When the bottomless ferry docked, the four jumped off the bow of the boat, and when they turned back, the captain and the bottomless boat were gone.
At this time, Sun Wukong revealed that Gong Gong was the king of the treasure Buddha, and the people in Buddhism respected him as the Buddha.
With the example of Taishang Laojun in front, Lao Zhu understood in his heart that the treasure king Buddha was probably one of the three corpse incarnations of the saint.
Tang monks and apprentices are in Lingshan, and the Da Lei Yin Temple is already visible to the naked eye.
I saw the big thunder sound temple, the gold brick paved the ground, the glazed roof, the pagoda towered into the sky, the pavilion was bright and clear, the green pine and cypress, the sandalwood was diffuse, the Buddha light was shining, everywhere auspicious, it was worthy of being the holy land of Buddhism.
Tang Seng was excited, and saluted when he saw people along the way.
He did not let go of the male and female laymen who had not been ordained, the monks and nuns who had already been ordained, and he was so frightened that those Buddhist believers hurriedly returned the salute.
Sun Wukong smiled and persuaded: "Master, it's not too late to see the ceremony in the future, let's go and meet the Buddha first!"
The scripture-learning team approached the Great Lei Yin Temple, and four Vajra wrestlers stepped forward to greet them.
Tang Seng greeted Vajra Lux and was about to climb the stairs, but was stopped by them and said that he would first inform the Buddha.
Waiting for Vajra Lux to report it layer by layer, and then spread the Buddha's will, half an hour has passed.
Tang Seng walked 108,000 miles, lasted 14 years, and finally came to the Great Leiyin Temple, about to meet the Buddha and obtain the true scriptures, naturally he would not care about such a little time.
Enter the Da Lei Yin Temple and come to the Daxiong Treasure Hall.
In the treasure hall, the Buddha sits on the lotus platform, and the Buddhas on both sides stand in a forest, and it is estimated that there are thousands of people.
Lao Zhu's eyes quickly turned around, and he found that he didn't know much, except for the Dharma Protector Garan and the Five Directions Jiedi, who protected Tang Seng all the way, no one else knew anyone!
Tang Seng respectfully saluted the Buddha, saluted the Buddhas on both sides, and then knelt in front of the Buddha, reported his identity, and handed the traffic papers.
If the Buddha had read the customs clearance documents, he said a long list of words, to the effect that the mortals in the southern Zhanzhou had bad habits and needed to be influenced by Buddhism, so he decided to pass on the Sanzang scriptures to the Tang monks.
Then, the Buddha arranged for two Venerable Beings, Ah Ao and Jia Ye, to distribute the scriptures to the scripture study team.
The two Venerable Ones led the Tang monks and apprentices into the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion and were about to distribute the scriptures, when they suddenly said: "You have come from afar, what gifts have you prepared for us? Hurry up and take them out, I will wait for the distribution of the scriptures!"
