Chapter 75: Rats Steal Oil and Eat
Taishang Daozu said: "White bones meet golden cicadas, fate is fate." In the heart of the golden cicada, a small fence courtyard has been built, only to open the heart for the white bones, and even if the other red and pink skeletons are all over the country, they are also fragrant grass outside the fence, and they can climb the fence and cannot enter the heart wall. ”
The Ancient Buddha of the Burning Lamp was surprised that the Taishang Dao Ancestor would say such a thing, so he nodded and continued: "That's right, whether the banshee's breasts are half exposed, the red makeup is half wrapped, or the whispering is soft, and the demon song and dance, the golden cicada sits firmly on the lotus platform, guards the mind, enters Zen without moving, and the demon does not invade. ”
Taishang Dao Ancestor had an idea in his heart, and said, "The golden-nosed white-haired rat spirit and scorpion spirit are still on the Ling Mountain?"
Burning the lamp ancient Buddha said: "A few days ago, the scorpion spirit listened to the Buddha's lectures in the Leiyin Temple, showed its original form, climbed on the scriptures, blocked the scriptures, Shakyamuni pushed her casually, I don't know why, she was angry, turned the hook and pierced Shakyamuni, Shakyamuni was in pain, and he was anxious to take her, and in a blink of an eye, she fled and did not know where to go. King Kong only looked for it in the distance, but I could see clearly that it was the golden cicada who took her into her sleeve and allowed her to escape. On the same day, the golden-nosed white-haired rat spirit and the yellow-haired mink squirrel sneaked into the treasure pavilion of Zhenlou, stole fragrant flowers and treasure candles, and escaped from the Leiyin Temple of Lingshan. ”
Taishang Dao Ancestor's plan was disappointed, and he said: "In this way, there is indeed a matter of rat spirits stealing such treasures, and it is two mice? The golden cicada did not deceive me, but what was stolen was not the blood of immortality, but the fragrant flower treasure candle?"
The ancient Buddha said: "Shakyamuni really lost the blood of immortality, and he will also cover the past with fragrant flowers and candles." According to Sakyamuni, the white-haired mouse stole the fragrant flower treasure candle, and the yellow-haired sable sable stole the clear oil that was on the altar and the glass bowl that was not extinguished for thousands of years, and the glass cup was also stolen by him. As a result, the treasure pavilion has no lamps and is dim and unknown. ”
Taishang Dao Ancestor seemed to remember something, and said, "The glass cup, but the one that was broken today?"
The ancient Buddha said: "Exactly, after the glass cup was lost, it was never seen again, and Sakyamuni only hid it as a yellow-haired sable mouse, and after looking for some time, he gave up." Today, he poured poison in front of the Tongming Palace, intending to poison the Jade Emperor, but fortunately he was smashed by the general of the curtain to avoid a catastrophe. ”
Taishang Daozu said: "The queen mother has been spared, but her concubine is difficult to turn over, and the punishment of the Jade Emperor is not heavy." However, if the Jade Emperor drank the poisoned wine, the Queen Mother and her seven daughters would definitely die. ”
The ancient Buddha of the lamp is unknown, it is clear that the Jade Emperor was saved from the catastrophe of poisoning, how did he become the queen mother to avoid the catastrophe, and asked: "The little monk is not very clear, and please ask the master to make it clear." ”
Taishang Dao Ancestor said: "I only say one word, I don't know what to understand, it's all up to you." The body of the Jade Emperor is not just an immortal body. ”
Burning the lamp ancient Buddha heard this, initially confused, then shocked, his eyes were full of brilliance, after a while, he digested the simple words of the Taishang Dao Ancestor, his face gradually returned to calm, and said: "The little monk has lost his temper." ”
Taishang Daozu smiled slightly and said: "It's good to be enlightened, it's good to be clear, and I say it to others, I'm afraid that I won't be able to understand it at all, and the cloud mountain fog cover can't see through it." Speaking of which, the two banshees, the thirty-six Venerables of the Zhenlou Treasure Pavilion and the Pavilion are not idle, how can the two rat spirits easily sneak in?"
Lighting the lamp ancient Buddha said: "Sakyamuni said that he started to talk about "There has never been a scripture", and once sent the golden cicada into the treasure pavilion to get the scriptures, where the scriptures are located, it is the place where the fragrant flowers, treasure candles, and clear oil are stolen. ”
Taishang Dao Ancestor said: "Such a coincidence, I think it was the golden cicada who brought the two monsters into the treasure pavilion of Zhenlou." ”
Burning the lamp ancient Buddha said: "Eighty percent may be brought in by the golden cicada, the treasure pavilion of the treasure tower has its own prohibition, and the demons and monsters are approaching, which will inevitably trigger the golden bell on the top floor, and the treasure protection formation." The two demons entered the treasure pavilion, the golden bell did not ring, the formation did not move, it must be a treasure carrying a hidden demonic energy, coincidentally, the golden cicada happened to have this treasure. ”
Taishang Daozu said: "The two rat demons stealing the treasure pavilion of the treasure tower and the golden cicada are inseparable, the golden cicada 'let a golden-nosed white-haired mouse spirit steal' is not false, in this way, the blood of immortality is indeed hidden in the treasure pavilion, Shakyamuni's hand is very beautiful, even if I know that he has the blood of immortality, I never expected it to be hidden in the treasure pavilion, I will think about the unexpected place, but will ignore the treasure pavilion." ”
The Ancient Buddha still did not express any opinion, but only objectively explained the matter, and said: "However, there is one thing that is particularly interesting, the divine general sent by Shakyamuni to capture the oil stolen rat essence is not Vajra Bodhisattva, but the father and son of the King of Tota Li. ”
Taishang Taoist ancestor said: "Nezha cut the flesh and returned to the mother, deboned and returned to the father, and the soul returned to the West. Nezha wanted to kill Li Jing, and Sakyamuni gave him a golden pagoda of exquisite and clear relics to save Li Jing's life. Shakyamuni did not shy away from sending Li Jing and his son, as if he meant something else, and it did mean something, you continued. ”
The ancient Buddha said: "Li Jing and his son will take the rat essence." According to the past, the monster stole the treasures in front of the Buddha, and when they held it, they should only be killed, leaving no life. But this time, Shakyamuni instructed, the stagnant water to raise fish will not be fished, and the deer will be fed in the mountains to hope for immortality. The white-haired rat spirit was also a clever lord, and when he heard the rumors, he fled his surname and wanted to worship Shakyamuni as a teacher and seek refuge. Shakyamuni said that the fate of master and apprentice was not enough, so he refused, and instead said that the rat spirit and Li Jing had a father-daughter fate. ”
Taishang Daozu laughed and said: "Feed the deer in the deep mountains to look at immortality, it seems that the blood of immortality is not in the body of the white-haired mouse's essence, leaving the surname of the white-haired rat essence, and using her as bait to find out where the real blood of immortality is." Shakyamuni's move is too explicit, not like his style, it is really strange, continue to talk. ”
The ancient Buddha said: "The white-haired mouse is quite smart, and immediately knelt down and bowed, calling him 'righteous father', worshiping Li Jing as his father and Nezha as his brother." Li Jing's face was extremely bad at that time, and he recognized a goblin who stole incense flowers and treasure candles as a righteous daughter, which hindered the face of the king of heaven, and he didn't dare to attack in front of Sakyamuni, so he accepted it. When she got out of Lingshan, she shouted back the white-haired rat spirit, but said that it had nothing to do with it, and let her find a place to be a monster and not get along. The white-haired mouse just used Li Jing to escape for his life, how could he ever recognize Li Jing as his father in his heart? ”
When Taishang Dao Ancestor heard this, he nodded slightly, and suddenly thought that he seemed to have missed a rat essence, and asked: "Where did the yellow-haired sable go?" The two mice sneaked into the treasure pavilion together, and they were about to be discovered, so why didn't they mention the yellow-haired sable?"
(Baidu Encyclopedia said that half of the Guanyin white-haired mouse stole the incense flower treasure candle of the ancient Buddha, which is wrong, I have checked several versions of the original work, which is written as Rulai, and in Journey to the West, it is called Sakyamuni, hereby explain)
