Chapter 758: Golden Cicada
Qin Di followed the monk out of the guest room, came to a spacious meditation room, and saw a great monk with a solemn appearance, sitting cross-legged on the futon.
This monk's forehead is prominent, just like the old birthday star in the picture, the head is bulging a large piece, the eyes are big and round, shining with Buddha light, and it looks extraordinarily wise. Dressed in a purple robe, he has a thin body, his arms are bare, and his skin is delicate, like a newborn baby.
"Little benefactor, please come in and speak,"
Qin Di stepped forward and saluted: "Qin Jin, a disciple of the White Emperor, came on the orders of the master to meet Elder Jin Chanzi!"
Jin Chanzi stared at him with both eyes, his face was not sad or happy, and said: "In the past, the old man followed the instructions of the Buddha and came here from the Western Elysium to open up the Pure Land. Little donor, what did the commander say when you came?"
Qin Di thought for a while and replied: "There are a few incisions left by the master, which I have always kept in my heart: the bird flies in the sky, the fish jumps in the abyss, and the corpse waits for it, and then it ......."
Jin Chanzi nodded: "That's right." The old man took off the cicada and rose from the dead, and he was as free as a bird. Little donor, you have stayed in the guest room for three days, I don't know what you will gain?"
Qin Di remembered the previous dream, couldn't help frowning slightly, and said with palpitations: "The disciple is stupid, and he has had nightmares for three days in a row, and for a while, he doesn't know what it portends, let alone the specific harvest. ”
The golden cicada's eyes sparkled, and she asked meaningfully, "Little donor, do you think it's just a dream?"
Qin Di's heart was shocked, his eyebrows raised unconsciously, and he asked, "May I ask Elder, isn't that a dream, or is it really not true?"
Jin Chanzi's eyes looked out of the window, and said slowly: "In and out of the clouds are too empty, the truth of Yuanlai is spotless, and they all ask about the future, only believe in the futon Buddha cicada dream." Many people have experienced similar dreams before, and they have all come true one by one. Lao Qu has practiced Buddhism for 18 million years, and many Buddhist principles have not been thoroughly understood, but he has a little experience and some understanding of birth and death, through time and space, so this golden temple has a little bit of a thin name. Little donor, I have to say that most of the dreams you see may fall on you!"
Hearing this, Qin Di's cold sweat "brushed" down again!
"Elder, don't scare me! How is that possible? I dreamed of ......."
Jin Cicada raised a finger and said, "Don't say it, don't say it, once you say it, you know everything about it, and it's easier to put it into practice." Life is made by oneself, and each other is born from the heart. All laws arise and all laws perish. These idiot macaques, for the sake of their foolish teachers, all fell into the well, saved the moon and drowned......"
Qin Di was confused when he heard it, and he didn't know what the other party meant.
"Elder, can you be clearer?
Jin Chanzi nodded lightly: "In a dream, when I see my body, I don't think about it, and my six roots are covered by clouds." Little benefactor, you have to cultivate your mind! Whether you are cultivating immortals or cultivating Buddhas, the most important thing is to cultivate your mind. ”
Qin Di nodded again and again: "Yes, yes." Master Xie pointed out the maze. ”
The golden cicada stretched out his hand, and a palm-sized brocade box floated over.
He gently stroked the brocade box, narrowed his eyes and said, "This is what you want, and it's done!"
Qin Di took the brocade box and thought to himself: "The master asked me to take a pair of wings from the golden cicada's relics, could it be that the wings are contained in the brocade box?
At this moment, it is inconvenient for him to open it to check, because this is the exchange between the golden cicada and the White Emperor, even if there is nothing in the brocade box, he has to take it back and give it to his master White Emperor.
Hearing the golden cicada again: "Little donor, I think you have a relationship with my Buddha, that's why I told you this." In the past, I also said similar things to the White Emperor, but the White Emperor was a famous immortal emperor in the world, and the old man was still shallow at that time, and he was soft-spoken, and no one listened to what he said. As a result, to this day, the White Emperor has encountered a catastrophe......"
When Qin Di heard this, his mood became even heavier, and he had to ask, "May I ask the elder, what should the disciple do, how can he avoid the calamity?"
Jin Chanzi replied: "Little benefactor, the old man will tell you a little simple Buddhist principles. The Buddha said that each of us has all the karmic causes of the ten dharma realms, the seeds of Buddhas, the seeds of bodhisattvas, the seeds of arhats, the seeds of heavens, people, animals, and ghosts. Whatever thoughts you have, you will correspond to them, and you will enter into that one in the future. Equanimity is the mind of the Buddha, it is the seed of the Buddha, and only with the mind of the Buddha can we reduce the calamities. If you look at the cultivators in the world, who is not greedy? It is precisely because of greed that most people end up with a good death, and they still have to become ghosts after all their efforts. ”
Hearing this, Qin Di nodded frequently: "Elder, what you said is really good. But how can we achieve positive results without giving up halfway and falling into the ghost path?"
The golden cicada showed compassion on her face and said, "Little donor, have you ever heard that immortals have immortal treasures, and Buddhas have Buddha treasures." The immortal treasure is the 'Tao', the Tao gives birth to one, the life is two, the two give birth to three, and the three give birth to all things; the Buddha treasure is the 'emptiness', the color is the emptiness, the emptiness is the color, and the emptiness is the emptiness. The immortal family mastered the word 'hidden', and the best one was Taishang Laojun, have you ever heard of what calamity he encountered?"
Qin Di thought about it, except for the part of Journey to the West and Sun Wukong's fighting method, Taishang Laojun really didn't have any enemies! He was respected everywhere he went, and he had always been a high-ranking Taoist ancestor.
Jin Chanzi said: "The collection of Buddhism, there are more Buddhas who have mastered it well. Maitreya Buddha said: The old man wears a jacket, the stomach is full of light food, and he makes up for the cold, and everything follows fate. Some people scolded the old clumsy, the old clumsy only said good, some people beat the old clumsy, the old clumsy fell asleep, spit on the face, let him do it, I also save effort, he has no troubles, so jackfruit, is the treasure of the wonderful......"
Qin Di listened thoughtfully, and said in his heart: "It seems that I used to kill too many people. In the future, we must rein in our edge and try our best to keep our eyes on the clouds. The so-called 'kill one person in ten steps, and don't stay for a thousand miles' sounds like a pleasure, but if you kill a thousand enemies and lose 800 yourself, even if you win by luck, what will happen after you kill them? Naturally, you will make enemies, and your children and grandchildren will seek revenge on you, and there will be more and more troubles. Open guns are easy to dodge, hidden arrows are difficult to defend, and in the end they lead to falling, which is also a very common thing. ”
After a pause, Qin Di asked, "Thank you, Elder, if I want to cultivate Buddhism in the future, can I follow you and practice for a while?"
Jin Chanzi replied: "The old man and you have no master-apprentice fate. I look at it with my discerning eyes, your master is located in the central Yanhuang Great Star Domain. There are a total of twelve galaxies in the four continents and eight small continents, you can go to Xiniu Hezhou to look for them. ”
Qin Di was stunned when he heard this: "Why did you come out of Xiniu Hezhou?"
"May I ask the elder, is the rhinoceros Hezhou a galaxy?
"That's right, little donor, you go to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion to find a map, and you will know if you take a closer look. ”
"May I ask the elder, since Xiniu Hezhou is a galaxy, there are many stars, where is my master?"
"Don't say it, don't say it, you'll know when the time comes. ”
