Chapter 54 The Ninth Emperor of the Quicksand River is a boat, and the Yang of the Leiyin Temple is difficult to fight
After the Huangfeng Ridge was in trouble, the three masters and apprentices of Sanzang walked through the Huangfeng Ridge for 800 miles in just one day and came to the plains. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoTime flies, time flies. In the blink of an eye, it was already autumn season, and the three-month experience added a little vicissitudes to the faces of the three of Sanzang. Bajie said: "Master, the revelation of the Wuchao Zen Master is not accurate, we haven't encountered the water monster so far, but we have encountered a rat spirit." Sanzang said: "Bajie, don't talk nonsense, how can the will of heaven be so simple." ā
Sun Wukong said: "Master is right, I haven't met it before, maybe I have met it now, master, you see." Sanzang heard the sound and looked at it, only to see a big water raging and turbulent waves. Shocked: "This river is so wide, how can we cross it?" Sun Wukong said: "Although this river is wide, it is difficult for my grandson, I just twist my waist and pass; ā
Sanzang said: "This river is boundless, and I don't know how far and near it is?" Sun Wukong said: "I don't know up and down, but the width of this river is probably not less than 800 miles wide." Bajie said: "Brother Monkey, how can you be sure that the width of this river is no less than 800 miles?" Sun Wukong said: "Although my eyes are not as perceptive to the Three Realms as clairvoyance, they can also see things for thousands of miles.
Sanzang suddenly lost the idea of detouring the road when he heard it, eight hundred miles away, I don't know how many hours it will take, and the difficulties and dangers on the way are even more difficult to say. At this time, Sanzang no longer had the enthusiasm that he had when he first came out of Chang'an, and the demons and monsters along the way had almost wiped out Sanzang's fighting spirit. Turning the direction of the white horse and preparing to find a place to rest first, he suddenly saw a stone tablet on the riverbank, and hurriedly called Bajie and Wukong over and went over to check together.
The three of them looked at the stone tablet, and saw three big characters first came into view "quicksand river", and then there was a record about the quicksand river, which was written: 800 quicksand boundaries, 3,000 weak water depth. The goose feathers can't float, and the reed flowers sink at the bottom. The three masters and apprentices were looking at the stele intently, and a cold sentence came, "How many of them were sent to the West Heaven by the Tang Dynasty to learn scriptures?"
Hearing this, Sanzang and the others turned around and looked back, only to see a monster with long red hair, a blue indigo face, a collar of goose yellow, and a waist tied with white vines showing white vines was standing five meters behind them, staring at them with a pair of big eyes. Bajie said: "We are the monk who went to the West Heaven to learn scriptures, who are you?" The monster said: "Which is the Sanzang Master?"
Sanzang said: "The poor monk is exact, I don't know what the donor is looking for me?" The strange pounced and knelt on the ground and said: "Disciple Sha Wujing greets the master." Sanzang said: "You and I don't know each other, why do you call me Master as soon as we meet?" Sha Wujing said: "Master doesn't know, I was originally the general of the curtain of His Royal Highness Lingxiao's servant Luanyu." Just because I broke the glass cup by mistake at the Pan Tao Meeting, the Jade Emperor demoted me to the lower realm and guarded the quicksand river. Later, Guanyin Bodhisattva passed by and turned into me, and asked me to wait here for the person who took the scriptures to be an apprentice with him. ā
Sanzang said: "Even if it is arranged by the Bodhisattva, you should follow it, and from now on you will be the third disciple of the teacher." Sun Wukong handed the ring knife to Sanzang, and Sanzang shaved off Sha Wujing's red hair. Sun Wukong said: "Senior Brother Sha, this quicksand river is your residence, do you have a way for Master to cross it?" Sha Wujing took out a small boat from his arms and said, "Master can cross the river with this." ā
After saying that, he threw the boat into the river, and the boat turned into a light boat and floated on the water. Bajie said: "If I knew this, I would have found a boatman to cross the river." Sha Wujing said: "Second senior brother, this worldly boat can't cross my quicksand river. Sanzang said: "Why is this?" Sha Wujing said: "Master has seen the boundary monument, and he should know that the water of this quicksand river is weak water. Sanzang said: "What is different from ordinary water in this weak water?" Sha Wujing said: "This weak water is not here, it was originally in the north of Kunlun Mountain, because the Jade Emperor degraded me to the earth, so it was specially ingested from Kunlun Mountain." This water is the convergence of the stagnant water between heaven and earth, if it is not for the cultivators, or the treasures of the immortals. It is difficult to resist the erosion of weak water. ā
Sanzang said: "That's the case, this light boat must be a treasure of the immortal family, right?" Sha Wujing said: "This is not a treasure of the immortal family, this is the head of the ninth generation of the master, which contains the great wish of the ninth generation of the master, with this wish The master can pass safely, and please get on the boat as soon as possible." ā
Seeing this, Sanzang boarded the light boat and sat on it, which was really as stable as a light boat. On the left, there is the support of the eight precepts, and on the right, there is Wujing to support him; Sun Xingzhi led the dragon horse behind, half cloud and half fog followed; he crossed the quicksand river boundary steadily, and the waves were calm and the wind calmed over the weak river. The real one is also like flying like an arrow, and after a short time, he landed on the other side and had to get rid of the flood; The light boat suddenly turned into a yin wind and disappeared. Guanyin Bodhisattva, who was far away in the South China Sea, felt something when Sanzang and his party crossed the quicksand river, pinched his fingers and exclaimed: "How did Sanzang cross the quicksand river?" ā
Hui'an Xing said: "Master, is there something wrong?" Bodhisattva said: "It's very inappropriate, although the quicksand river is difficult to recruit the Demon Emperor, but it has not changed in general, and now, Sanzang and others easily crossed the quicksand river. The original calamity was turned into flowing water and wasted. Our original preparations will also be flawed
I am afraid that the number of ninety-nine returns to the truth is difficult to complete, this matter is very important, I must go to Lingshan for a trip, you must wait to guard the mountain gate without mistake. The heavens said, "We will obey the decree of the law." Guanyin Bodhisattva sat down on the lotus flower and went to the spiritual mountain. After a while, I came to the beautiful scenery of Lingshan and arrived in front of the throne of Rulai. He saluted and said, "I've seen my Buddha." ā
Rulai said: "Venerable Guanyin saw that you were in a hurry, but what was the urgency?" Guanyin said: "Enlighten my Buddha, learn the scriptures, reappear the waves, Sanzang and others should have blocked the quicksand river, and asked me to teach the boat to cross the quicksand river." Now, it has crossed the quicksand river smoothly all the way, making the number of ninety-nine returns to the truth flawed and unable to be consummated. I have come to ask the Buddha whether the subsequent calamities will change because of this. ā
Rulai said: "I already know this matter, and the ninety-nine return to truth is the number of my Buddhism, which cannot be changed." Huang Hong skillfully used trickery to turn the catastrophe into pieces. It's also the number of days. I'll have a plan with you, and you're planning to give birth. It will inevitably make the calamity complete, and if there is the same situation in the future, you don't have to come to Lingshan to ask, so as not to calculate for the villain. ā
The Bodhisattva said, "Please teach me Buddhism." "If you come to read the mantra, the greatest plan of the Three Realms comes into Guanyin's mind. After listening to this, Guanyin said: "My Buddha, I am afraid that doing this will violate the precepts of my teaching. Once Huang Hong grabs the handle, I'm afraid it will make me ruined!" Rulai said: "The millennium plan is here, if it is not successful, it is no different from being ruined." ā
