3. Buddhism is unwilling to fall out of favor
Bai Su said: "Where is the junior brother going?
He said: "How dare you work for senior brothers and sisters? Shanhaimen is busy, you are willing to work for me, and the younger brother is thankful." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
At this moment, there was a light sound in the air, and everyone looked at it, all of them were in awe, and they all worshiped together, and the person who came was the old immortal of the Holy Yang Sect. Cicada Ming smiled: "You don't have to be polite. ”
"I don't know what happened to the Venerable Elder here?"
Cicada sighed: "The competition of the people of the Heavenly Gate is imminent, one by one in retreat, our Wanxian Gate is in an eventful autumn, we old guys can't be idle, your mountain and sea gate is even more important, I will come here to take a look." ”
Hearing that he was interested in helping, Pan Xuan said happily: "With the elder presiding over the situation, everything is worry-free." ”
The cicada chirped: "Panxuan, I really owe you a favor for the matter of Mengshan back then, and I instruct the disciples of the Holy Yang Sect, such as the useful places of Shanhaimen, not to be easily shirked." ”
He said: "The elder is affectionate and friendly, how can the junior disciples not be grateful? The disciples of the Holy Yang Sect are superb and have helped a lot. ”
Cicada Ming looked around and asked, "Why are there so few people from the Bitter Dynasty Sect in the door?"
The Quartet Taoist said: "Tell the elder, the bitter dynasty faction has rarely dealt with us. What's more, his disciples have always subdued demons and eliminated demons, sacrificing themselves to protect the Dharma, and they may not have to enter my mountain and sea gate. ”
Cicada Ming smiled bitterly, looking helpless, and said strangely: "What advice does the elder have?"
Cicada Ming was silent for a long time and said: "I have known Dark Valley for many years, and I have always.... I can't guess this person, just like Mengshan back then, Dark Valley is very old, and he is the founder of the Bitter Dynasty Sect, and the Bitter Dynasty Sect has always been unsociable, hehe, Dark Valley, Dark Valley, what secrets do you have?"
When everyone heard that his words had the intention of forming a party for personal gain, they all felt bad, and vaguely felt that this matter involved the dispute between the heads of the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect, and they were extremely reluctant to get involved. Pan Xuan thought to himself: "This dark valley wanted to suspect that I killed my fellow disciples, and wanted to torture me with ruthless hands, and his temperament was ruthless, which is indeed disgusting. But now that the ghosts are aggressive, let's not fight among themselves. "I don't want to interface for a while.
The cicada chirped: "Senior nephew, I heard what you said from a distance before, do you seem to want to go out?"
"He has good internal strength." He nodded, "Exactly." ”
The cicada Ming pulled Pan Xuan aside, took out an object from his arms, secretly handed it into Pan Xuan's hand, transmitted the sound into the secret, and said: "My disciple of the Holy Yang Sect found a jade plate from a secret place of the Bitter Dynasty Sect some time ago, this thing is extremely important, and I also asked my nephew to send it to the Cicada Temple in Quail Mountain for me, the abbot of the temple, Master Fei Gui, is my friend, and this thing must be handed over to him." ”
Pan Xuan was strange in his heart, and saw that the jade plate, on which was engraved a very ugly dragon, the dragon body was strong, not like a swimming snake, but like a crocodile. The dragon was spitting flames and burning a man, and under the dragon sat a woman, naked, leaning on the dragon, looking like a lover of the dragon.
Pan Xuan asked, "Honorable Elder, this dragon.... It seems to be a Western Evil Dragon, which is very different from my Eastern Divine Dragon, and what does it have to do with the Bitter Dynasty Sect?"
Cicada Ming laughed: "The virtuous nephew is indeed very knowledgeable, but this dragon is not unique to the West, but a monster that punishes sinners in hell. ”
"Ah, the monsters of hell?"
Cicada nodded and said, "Gathering Soul Mountain is the hell in Buddhism, and my Holy Yang Sect worships the god of fire, so I can't allow the demons in the prison to appear in the world." This thing may have a great connection with a certain Soul Gathering Mountain Hades. There is something in my Holy Yang Sect, I can't get out of it, I think about it, I can only entrust it to you, you should act cautiously, and you can't make it public. I guess that the bitter dynasty faction acted evilly and plotted against the past, and with the experience of Mengshan, we can't be too vigilant, and we must investigate it thoroughly. ”
Pan Xuan thought to himself: "This old immortal insisted that the bitter dynasty faction did evil, but there was no evidence, and he couldn't do it. However, the aura of this thing is vast, extraordinary, if this thing can attract demon hunting, how can it be allowed to remain in the world?"
Cicada Mingden noticed it, shook his head and said, "Even if it is the kung fu of my True Yang Divine Sword, it can't hurt this jade plate in the slightest." Why? Don't you believe me?"
Pan Xuan's face turned red, and he said: "The apprentice behaves rudely, makes assertions, and asks the elder to forgive his sins." ”
The cicada chirped: "No blame, no blame, this matter is urgent, you can go now, but don't let the disciples and grandchildren of the Dark Valley know." ”
Although Pan Xuan wanted to know the origin of this thing, the cicada urged him tightly, so he had to reluctantly agree, so he said goodbye to everyone and went out of the gate of heaven.
That quail mountain is also in the west, the road is quite far, it is one of the six holy mountains of Buddhism in the world, it is very prestigious, it is rumored that the Buddha meditates in the shadow of the tree, spends the summer and autumn, looks at the autumn cicada is blown down by the autumn wind, falls to the ground and dies, the Buddha looks at this cicada life, and has to see this cicada die, the heart is compassionate, thus realize the truth that life is delusional, this Zen insect temple is built according to this allusion.
Winding and hurrying on the road, about four days, only to approach the cicada temple, the temple is in the deep mountain and old forest, the spirit mountain is high, the shade is covered with layers of rocks, the cicadas are everywhere in the morning, find a stone path in the most secluded place, there are small Buddha statues on both sides, leading pedestrians to the temple.
Winding along the stone road, the more you go forward, the more solemn and sacred the scenery becomes, the Buddha statue on the side of the road is more and more exquisite, you see the Buddha statue full of cicada corpses, a little cruel, but think of the allusion, immediately clear. The temple is on the mountain, gray and black, quite inconspicuous, but there are ten large halls and towers, and the scale is very large. And seeing the sea of clouds floating under the mountain, you can know that the Buddha is manifesting in the temple.
He approached the temple gate, slightly stunned, and saw many monks standing everywhere like Vajra protectors, with a solemn demeanor, without negligence, coiling is dressed as a Taoist, and the monks took a look, and left a god when they landed.
Pan Xuan thought to himself: "This temple is so pompous, not like a Buddhist temple, more like a gang, is that the old monk Gui is not a traitorous monk who blocks the road and robs the road?" stepped forward and said: "Under the ten thousand immortals, I came here to ask to see the abbot of the old Gui." ”
How loud his name was, all the monks were surprised when they heard it, and they saw that Pan Xuan was young and elegant, and he was not a crazy crazy man as rumored, and he didn't dare to believe it, and asked: "You are Pan Xuan of Wanxian Mountain and Sea Gate?"
Pan Xuan said: "It is under the same that the old brother of the monk who is tired of making a report." I guessed the thoughts of the monks in my heart, and thought: "My name is Mu Monkey and the crown, the finch becomes a phoenix, and I naturally have to pretend to be decent, with a fairy head and a fairy face." ”
The first tall monk hesitated for a moment and said, "The abbot is not free today, and I don't see the Taoist guests." ”
Pan Shuqi said: "Do you not see people, or do you not see the Taoist family? ”
The tall monk's face changed, and he had to reply: "The abbot said that there are no three or four people in the Ten Thousand Immortals, and they are all gone. ”
Pan Xuan said: "I am a fifth-layer Escape Heaven Gate person, it is indeed not three, brother, don't be embarrassed, retire first." After saying that, he turned around and left, the monks' faces were tense, and they secretly tightened their blades, and when they saw him walking away, they relaxed themselves.
Hiding behind a tree, he thought: "The footprints on the stone road in front of the door are messy, and the horses in the temple are noisy, and there must be a lot of guests, either pilgrims or monks." How can I not go in and take a look?"
At this time, the sun is bright, and there is no sound in the rest of the temple, except for a Buddha oracle hall in which the breathing is chaotic, as if there are thousands of people gathered together. Leaping into the wooden window of the attic, hiding on the beam, looking down, through the sunlight, I saw countless bald heads reflecting the light, and the hall was extremely bright.
Pan Xuan sighed in his heart: "Being a monk can save a lot of oil and fire money than being a Taoist, we have black hair and black beard, and we cover the light, no wonder the hall is gloomy." ”
There was an old monk who was talking, and he recognized him as impermanence, and he had fought with the good hands of the Asara sect with the heart of heaven, and his martial arts were extremely high, only slightly inferior to the master of Duntian. I only listened to the impermanence of the old monk said: "All the masters know the Dharma, and they know that 'the world is like a dream bubble, and if you touch it, you will break it, and you will not be trapped in it." Fame and fortune, why do you need to go around it? Disturb the Buddha's heart in vain, and mislead me in cultivating. 'Now that the Ten Thousand Immortals are in the limelight and high in the mortal realms, why do we have to compete with them as pure cultivators?'
A fat old monk beside him got up and said, "What the senior brother said is wrong. If what the immortals preach is the right way and the good way, we naturally don't care. However, the people of Wanxianmen pay attention to a greedy for pleasure, and often have a bad reputation for stealing wives and daughters, and tarnishing innocence. We have released the family Buddhism, for many years to let the immortals be the power of the blessings, do not compete with each other, let the laissez-faire act, only to tire the mortals to be bewitched by the immortals, over time, the Buddhism is weak, the Tao is prevalent, the people do not follow the good, the officials do not respect the Buddha, the men do not abide by the etiquette, the women are not ashamed, we will sacrifice themselves to cross the people's wishes, and there will never be a day of achievement. ”
Pan Xuan listened to him say that Wan Xian was very unbearable, and his heart was unhappy, and he secretly thought: "There are some goods in our Wan Xian, which are indeed not things, but you old monk may not be good." ”
The impermanence old monk said: "Since Senior Brother Fei Gui has the wish to transform the world, the old man is not in the realm, so he is ashamed. He agreed with the old monk's words.
Pan Xuan was surprised: "It turns out that this old man is Fei Gui?" Cicada Ming Immortal called him an old friend, I didn't expect this person to be so two-faced. No wonder the monk outside the door didn't let me enter the temple, it turned out that these many people gathered together to rob us of the ten thousand immortals. ”
He looked around and saw that there were four old monks around him, a total of five people, whose status was comparable to him, and his martial arts were not far away. It seems that the elites of Buddhism today are all in the temple.
Fei Gui said: "We have a lot of friendship with the old monk of the cicada in the Wanxian Gate, but we can't take care of the affairs of the world's liberation family." ”
At this moment, there was a soft sound behind him, and he saw three extremely light figures jumping on the beam. The three of them couldn't notice it. The three of them were extremely active, pushed each other, and then froze.
A black fat old monk asked, "If you want to deal with ten thousand immortals, does Senior Brother Fei Gui have any good ideas?"
Another yellow-faced monk said: "In my opinion, the masters of the ten thousand immortals are like clouds, and each child lives a long life. Let's release the family.... I'm ashamed... The Buddha's supernatural powers, most of us lost, learn not to get half of the success, with our family, ten thousand can not compete for ten thousand immortals, now the world, only the ten thousand ghosts can compete with ten thousand immortals, the two can not win anyone, but I and other Buddhism is not weak, the disciples help the ghosts to die, and the immortals to help the immortals to destroy. If we want to reorganize the atmosphere of the world, we must join forces with the masters of ten thousand ghosts. ”
Fei Gui shook his head and said: "Senior Brother Buhe, ten thousand ghosts are the great enemies of the current imperial court, and we have to seek the empress's belief after all, so that she can respect the Buddha and listen to the teachings, this plan is very inappropriate." ”
Nabu looked ashamed and took a few steps back. (To be continued.) )
