Chapter 154: Receiving Six Ears and Encountering the Deceased (
In the palace, the Xuandu ** master entered the palace and bowed to Lao Tzu, "Teacher, there is an invitation card from the Buddhist sect, and the head of the Pure Land Sect, Shakyamuni, invited his disciples to go to the Fahua Festival. ”
Opening his eyes, Lao Tzu said lightly: "This matter has long been known to the teacher, and now that Guangchengzi has just arrived outside the palace, you will go and tell him that you must not go to the Fahua Conference this time, otherwise you will have to worry about your life." After that, Lao Tzu stopped talking, closed his eyes and wandered away.
"Yes, the disciple retired. "I feel that my teacher's words have become less and less in the past few years, and Xuandu quit Tushi Palace and went to see Guangchengzi.
"Brother Dao!" Seeing Xuandu coming over from a distance, Guangchengzi came to ask Lao Tzu this time on the order of Yuan Shi Yaozun. If Lao Tzu said that Buddhism and Fahua would go, then Guangchengzi and Yunzhongzi would go, and if Lao Tzu said that he would not go, then he would not go.
......
"Teacher, Da Yao Zun ordered to send a treasure car, and let the teacher take this car to the meeting. ”
"Oh?" Hearing Yuan Hong's words, Chen Jiugong got up and walked out of Luofu Cave. I saw a treasure car, the shape is ancient, there are 30 zhang long, 10 zhang wide, the whole body is colorful color, non-gold and non-jade, circulating in it, and it is not revealed. There is a canopy incense cloud on it, pull it into a curtain and come down, the curtain is hung down, the pearl and jade jingle bell, faintly see that in the mantle tent is a big bed of Biyou, side by side can sit ten or so, on both sides of the curtain tent, there are eight feet on each side, a radius of three feet, it should be the place where the boy stands.
Before each step, there is a pillar as thick as a bowl, about five feet high, on which the head of a hideous beast is carved. On the head of the beast, there is either a gold lamp, or a incense burner, several pairs on one side, which is very symmetrical. In front of the curtain, there is a screen, green in color, carved with mountains and rivers, and waves of the sea. There is also a screen behind the car, which is a pair with the front, carved with a flying fairy, although the color is turquoise, but it is definitely not made of crystal jade.
Chen Jiugong pointed with his hand, the golden lamp was lit, and when the light was illuminated, the front and rear screens were flooded with a soft luster, and the waves and tides carved on it, the mountains and forests and pine gullies actually came alive, and the sea was faintly smelled surging and the pine sea rustling. Behind the screen, the flying fairies also danced, the singing was clear, the dancing posture was indescribably beautiful, so that the heart was relaxed and happy, it was really a supreme luxury. It was the ancient demon emperor's chariot.
Look at the eight dragon horses pulling the cart in front of the car, the whole body is snow-white, without a trace of miscellaneous hair. Chen Jiugong knew that the Jade Emperor was letting him take this car to the Buddha Gate to show his face as the Emperor of the Imperial Court.
The people who sent the car on the order of the Jade Emperor were his disciples Hong Jin and his wife Long Gu. What made Chen Jiugong unclear was that he was sending a car, so why bother sending this husband and wife in.
"Teacher, Da Yao Venerable asked the disciple and Long Gu to come and drive for you. ”
This car has four wheels, simple and colorful, made of bronze color, behind the wheel, in front of the screen, but there is a pair of cars, which is matched by the golden boy and girl who is driving the car. But there was no woman up and down Guangming Mountain, so the Jade Emperor sent Hong Jin and Long Gu to drive for Chen Jiugong.
This Hong Jin and Long Gu stand together, it is true that they are really golden boys and girls, although their status is noble, but the disciple drives the teacher, and there is nothing to say.
"That's fine. Chen Jiugong didn't like the pomp and circumstance, but even if it was the Jade Emperor's good intentions, it was not easy to refuse, so he immediately got into the car.
At this time, there were still ten days before the Lotus Festival set by Shakyamuni, and Chen Jiugong was not in a hurry, and ordered Hong Jin and Longgu to slow down all the way, watching the mountains and rivers along the way, but also at ease.
On this day, passing through a valley with many fruit forests, Hong Jingang wanted to stop to pick some fresh fruits and enjoy them with Chen Jiugong. But at this time, I saw a snow-white monkey, kneeling in front of me.
"Thou shalt not get out of the way quickly, you monkey. ”
Seeing that the eight dragon horses were about to crash into him, the monkey was not afraid, and said loudly: "Please also ask the senior brother to speak to the teacher for me." ”
"Senior brother, teacher?" Hong Jin was stunned when he heard this, whispered a few words to Long Gu, got up and entered the car, and saw Chen Jiugong sitting on the cloud bed, with blue light flowing on his body.
Seeing that the teacher was practicing Xuangong, Hong Jin didn't dare to disturb, and hurriedly withdrew from the car lightly, and said to the monkey: "The teacher is wandering away, don't bother, you step aside, I will drive to the Pure Land." ”
As soon as he heard Hong Jin's words, the monkey suddenly became anxious, jumped up suddenly, and kept scratching his ears and cheeks.
Seeing this monkey like this, Hong Jin and Long Gu couldn't help but smile, thinking of their senior brother Yuan Hong, seeing that this monkey seemed to be a different species of Hong Desolation, but they didn't know its roots.
Chen Jiugong's enlightenment is nothing to Hong Jin and Long Gu, but it is different for this monkey, who is waiting here today to apprentice. Although, as Hong Jin said, the teacher should not be disturbed by cultivating the Fa, but if this opportunity is missed, it will be difficult to apprentice in the future.
Watching Hong Jin and Long Gu drive away, the monkey sighed, stomped his feet fiercely, and chased after him.
This monkey may really be a desolate alien species, relying on this cultivation that even a little demon (earth immortal) can't become, and he drove with the car all the way. Those eight dragon horses were originally used for foot strength, but they could travel 80,000 miles a day, how could this monkey keep up. But it was this monkey who had not even achieved immortal path, gritting his teeth all the way and running wildly with the car.
"Husband, why don't you let him get in the car? "Longgu Bijing is a daughter, and she has a soft heart. Seeing this monkey like this, I couldn't bear it.
Sighing lightly, Hong Jin shook his head and said, "If the teacher doesn't speak, how can you and I make assertions." As he spoke, Hong Jin urged Ryoma to slow down so that the monkey could keep up.
At this moment, the snow was falling heavily outside, and the cold wind was howling. The incense burner on the car, the golden lamp is automatically lit, the fairy fragrance is faint, warm as spring, the whole body is comfortable, the snow and cold wind outside are blocked by the millilight ten zhang away from the body. But the monkey suffered, and he was already physically exhausted, and when he encountered a snowstorm, he did not notice it, and fell heavily on the snow.
It was a strong breath, and this fall broke the monkey Zuihou with a breath of strength, lying on the snow, with cold tears in the corners of his eyes.
"Hey......" In a trance, only a faint sigh was heard, and suddenly a warm current swam all over the body, and the monkey raised his eyes to see that a person was standing in front of him, and the two people behind him were a man and a woman who were driving.
I don't know where the strength came from, but the monkey rolled over, fell to the ground, and kowtowed repeatedly. "I beg the Immortal Elder to take me as a disciple. ”
"Huh. Chen Jiugong smiled faintly when he heard this, "You monkey is finally here." ”
Hearing Chen Jiugong's words, the monkey's face turned red, "The teacher has great powers, he comes and goes without a trace, and the disciple is difficult to find." Only today I learned that the teacher went to the Pure Land of Xiyao, so I waited here. ”
It turns out that since the Pangu opened up the land and the flood appeared, there were five immortals in Zhou Yao, and there were five insects, which were scaly and feathery. This guy is neither a god, nor a ghost, nor a scale, nor a hair, nor a feather, nor a kun. There are also four monkeys in the mixed world, and they are not included in the ten categories. The first is the Lingming stone monkey, through change, when the time of death, know the location, move the stars and change the bucket. The second is the Akajiri horse monkey, Xiao Yin and Yang, will enter things, be good at entering and exiting, avoid death and prolong life. The third is the gibbon monkey, taking the sun and the moon, shrinking thousands of mountains, distinguishing the blame, and playing with the world. The fourth is a six-eared macaque, good at listening to sounds, able to perceive, know before and after, and everything is clear. These four monkeys do not belong to the ten categories, and they do not reach the name of two.
This monkey is one of the four monkeys of the six-eared macaque, only because of the unborn supernatural power to provoke dislike, in the flood to the law does not spread the six-eared theory. For many years, this monkey has only sought to worship a famous teacher and obtain the supreme Dao Method, but he can't look down on him if his ability is too low, and he can't look down on him if his ability is high, so that this desolate alien species has fallen to the point that it is difficult to even achieve the immortal path.
When Chen Jiugong came to Xiniu Hezhou to fight with the two quasi-saints of Buddhism, it can be described as shocking. Since then, the monkey has been paying attention to Chen Jiugong, and often uses his six ears to listen to Guangming Mountain. To the monkey's surprise, unlike other great supernatural beings, Chen Jiugong never stopped him from listening, even when he was preaching. That's why we have today's apprenticeship.
Chen Jiugong only felt sorry for the poor six-eared macaque in the Journey to the West, so he never embarrassed him for many years, and he also had the intention of accepting him into the house, but the time had not yet come. As early as today, when he came out of the mountain, Chen Jiugong had plans to take him under his door, so he ordered Hong Jin to drive slowly all the way. Just now, he was also testing the heart of this monkey to the Tao.
If it is easy to get, it will not be cherished. Chen Jiugong just wants to hone this disciple's mind, so that he will have the heart of today's path no matter when he is in the future.
With a finger of his hand, a blue light shrouded the monkey's body, leaving it muddy and scarred. Chen Jiugong said loudly: "I want to accept you as the fifth disciple of the sect, and give you the name of Six Ears, I don't know if you are willing?"
"Willing, willing!" Not only can he apprentice to the teacher, but also a disciple himself, how can this monkey not want to, and the name given by the teacher is very consistent with himself, and he hurriedly kowtowed again.
"Alright. Seeing the true temperament of this monkey, Chen Jiugong was very happy in his heart, "This time as a teacher, I was invited by Sakyamuni Buddha of the Pure Land to go to the Fahua Festival. Thou shalt go with me first, and when you can return to the mountain, you will be considered to have entered the sect after worshipping the ancestor. ”
"The disciple obeyed. "Liu'er, who has been listening to the movements of Guangming Mountain for many years, of course knows Chen Jiugong's rules, and he was still envious of the Lion Camel King.
"Get up, go and see your brother and sister, they have helped you a lot along the way. ”
Hearing Chen Jiugong say this, Liu'er seemed to have an understanding, and hurriedly stepped forward to worship Xie Hongjin and Long Gu.
The brothers saluted each other, and at this time, Chen Jiugong felt a little in his heart, frowned, and muttered to himself: "In the past, if you can meet here, how can you not see each other." Saying that, Chen Jiugong called: "Hong Jin." ”
"The disciple is here. Listening to the teacher's call, Hong Jin suddenly didn't care about being polite with the new junior disciple, and hurriedly came to obey Chen Jiugong's orders.
"And drive up, straight to the top of Jiuxiao, at the junction of the Gangfeng layer and the thunder and fire layer, the teacher wants to go to meet a deceased. ”
"The disciple obeyed. ”
Chen Jiugong took Liu'er into the car together, and Hong Jin and Long Gu urged Longma to go straight to Jiuxiao.
