Chapter 130: The Robe and Tin Staff
Press the golden cicada not table.
However, it is said that Guanyin Bodhisattva of Putuo Mountain in the South China Sea has received the Buddha's decree and visited the good people who have learned scriptures in Chang'an City, and he has not met a real virtuous person for a long time.
Suddenly, I heard that Tang Taizong preached good fruits, elected high monks, and opened a conference, and I was really uneasy, and I saw that the master of the altar was Jiang Liu'er monk, and it was the Buddha who came down in bliss, although I didn't know what the meaning of the golden cicada did this, but I didn't care much, until the night after Chen Xuanzang started speaking, a white-clothed scholar with a sword on his back found the land temple, and Guanyin Bodhisattva understood the intention of the golden cicada.
The golden cicada, with the poison of his heart, does not hesitate to put the Buddha under the blade.
The group of monks gathered in Xi'an, and it was really a curse rather than a blessing.
That night, a scholar with a sword on his back fell in front of the Land Temple and said a lot to Guanyin Bodhisattva, but he couldn't remember exactly what he said.
He only knew that the westward journey could not be delayed any longer! The golden cicada must be allowed to make the trip.
Buddhism, don't dare to take this risk.
Guanyin Bodhisattva estimated the whereabouts of the golden cicada, but there was no news, as if this person did not exist.
That night, there was a thunderstorm in the sky, and Guanyin Bodhisattva knew that it was fighting the Fa, and he knew that tonight, there were countless Buddhist disciples who would die, and the only thing he could do was to keep the white-clothed scholar in front of him, and said a lot of words.
At dawn on the second day, the white-clothed scholar left, and Guanyin Bodhisattva took the treasure given by Sakyamuni to find the golden cicada, looking to the future, but could not see the whereabouts of the golden cicada, only vaguely calculated that it had some connection with Tang Taizong.
What kind of treasure do you think he is? There is a brocade robe, a nine-ring tin staff, and the three hoops of the gold confinement, which are secretly hidden and collected for later use, and only the robe and tin staff are sold. In Chang'an City, there are foolish monks who are not selected, and there are a few village banknotes.
Seeing that Guanyin Bodhisattva had changed his description of scabies, wearing a ragged robe, barefoot and bald head, holding the robe in a dazzling light, he stepped forward and asked, "That leper monk, how much does your robe sell for?"
The Bodhisattva said, "The robe is worth five thousand taels, and the tin staff is worth two thousand taels." ”
The foolish monk smiled and said, "These two leper monks are madmen! They are fools! These two coarse things are sold for 7,000 taels of silver? But unless they wear them and live forever, they will become Buddhas and ancestors, and they are not worth so much! If they take them, they will not be able to sell them!"
The Bodhisattva didn't quarrel anymore, and walked forward with Muzha. When I walked enough, I came to the front of Donghua Gate, and I was bumping into Prime Minister Xiao Yu and returning to the court, and everyone stepped on the street.
The Bodhisattva openly did not shy away from it, and when he was on the street, he took a robe and greeted the prime minister.
The prime minister watched and saw that the robe was bright and bright, and his subordinates asked the asking price for the robe.
The Bodhisattva said, "The robe costs five thousand taels, and the tin staff costs two thousand taels." ”
Xiao Yu noticed something strange and said, "What's the benefit, it's worth such a high price?"
The Bodhisattva said, "There are good and bad things about robes, and there are places where you want money and there are places where you don't need money." ”
Xiao Yu said: "What is good, what is bad?"
The Bodhisattva said, "If you wear my robe, you will not sink into hell, you will not suffer from vicious suffering, and you will not encounter the den of tigers and wolves, it will be good; ”
Xiao Yu asked again: "What do you want money and don't want money?"
The Bodhisattva said: "If you don't follow the Dharma, don't respect the Three Jewels, and forcibly buy a robe and a tin staff, you will definitely sell him for 7,000 taels, and this is asking for money; if you respect the Three Jewels, rejoice when you see goodness, take refuge in my Buddha, and can afford it, I will give him the robe and tin rod, and make a good relationship with me, this is not money." ”
When Xiao Yu heard this, he added spring color, knowing that he was a good person, even if he dismounted, he greeted the Bodhisattva with courtesy, and said: "**Elder, forgive me for Xiao Yu's sin." My Tang Emperor is very good, and the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are all followed. Now the water and land conference will be built, and this robe is just worn by Master Chen Xuanzang in most of the capital. I'll go with you to the court. The Bodhisattva happily followed it, dragged it around, and walked into the Donghua Gate. The Yellow Gate official turned and was ordered to the treasure hall.
Seeing Xiao Yu leading two scabies monks and standing at the bottom of the steps, Tang Taizong asked, "What is Xiao Yu doing here?"
Xiao Yu prostrated himself in front of the steps and said: "The minister went out of the Donghua Gate and met the two monks, who were selling robes and tin staffs. Master Xuanzang can wear this clothes, so he leads the monks to see. ”
Tang Taizong was overjoyed, so he asked how much the robe was worth.
The Bodhisattva and Mu Zha stood at the bottom of the stairs, and even more did not salute, because they asked the price of the robe, and replied, "The robe is five thousand taels, and the tin staff is two thousand taels." ”
Tang Taizong said: "What are the benefits of the robe, it is worth a lot?"
The Bodhisattva said: "This robe, the dragon is draped with a wisp, so as to avoid the disaster of the Dapeng silkworm devouring; But where you sit, there are all gods to salute, and there are seven Buddhas with you in every action. This robe is made of ice silkworms, and the skillful craftsman turns it into a thread. Immortal weaving, goddess machine. Square clusters of embroidery seams, pieces of help to pile brocade. Exquisitely scattered bucket makeup, bright and bright. Put on a red mist, take off a piece of colorful clouds. Three days outside the door through the light, Wuyue Mountain before the birth of treasure. Heavily embedded passionflower, scorching hanging pearl star fighting elephant. There are night pearls at the four corners, and an emerald at the top. Although there is no full illumination of the original body, there are also eight treasures of life. This robe is folded in leisure time, and it is worn only when it meets the saint. Fold in leisure, thousands of layers of wrapping through the rainbow, when the saint wears, alarm the gods and ghosts of the heavens. On the top there are wishful beads, mani beads, dust-repelling beads, and wind-fixing beads, and there are red agate, purple coral, night pearls, and relics. Stealing the moon is white, and competing for red. The fairy spirit is empty, and the auspicious light is holy. The immortal spirit is full of air, illuminating the heavens, and the auspicious light is holy, and the shadow is all over the world. Shine on the mountains and rivers, frighten the tigers and leopards, shadow the islands, move the fish and dragons. There are two pinned gold locks along the side, and a chain of white jade is knocked on the collar. The poem says: The three treasures are respectable, and the four lives and six paths are all commented. Enlightened to raise people's heavenly law, see the surname can pass on the wisdom lamp. Protect the body solemn gold world, and the body and mind are pure jade pot ice. Since the Buddha made the robe, who can dare to judge the monk in ten thousand calamities?"
When Tang Taizong heard the words in the treasure hall, he was very happy, and asked: "That monk, what are the benefits of the nine-ring staff?"
The Bodhisattva said: "My tin staff is the nine rings made of copper and iron, and the nine immortal vines will stay forever." I am tired of looking at the green bones and thin at the beginning, and I will go down the mountain and bring the white clouds lightly. The five ancestors of Moha traveled to the sky, and Luo Bu found his mother to break the ground. Do not stain the red dust and filth, and like to accompany the monks to the Jade Mountain. ”
When Tang Taizong heard this, he immediately ordered to unfold the robe, and looked at it carefully from the beginning, and it was really a good thing, and said: "**Elder, I really don't hide it from you, I am now a great open and good teaching, and I have planted a wide range of blessings, and I saw that many monks gathered in the Huasheng Temple to perform the scriptures." There is a great virtuous person in it, whose legal name is Xuanzang. I will buy you these two treasures and give them to use. What is your asking price?"
When the Bodhisattva heard this, he took refuge with Muzha, said the Buddha's name, bowed down and said: "Since he is virtuous, the poor monk is willing to give him and never want money." "Let's just get out and go.
Tang Taizong was anxious for Xiao Yu to hold on, stood on the hall, and asked: "You originally said that the robe is 5,000 taels and the tin staff is 2,000 taels, and you don't want money when you see that I want to buy it. I will pay you according to your original price, but I cannot avoid it. ”
The Bodhisattva raised his hand and said: "The poor monk has a wish in front of him, and he said that he will respect the Three Jewels, rejoice when he sees goodness, take refuge in my Buddha, and do not want money, but wish to give it to him." Today, I see that Your Majesty is virtuous and good, respects my Buddhism, and the monks are virtuous and virtuous, preaching **, they should be offered, and they must not have money. The poor monk is willing to leave this thing and return it. ”
Tang Taizong was very happy to see him so diligent, and he was rewarded with a banquet in Guanglu Temple.
The Bodhisattva insisted on not accepting it, tonight, I am afraid that there will be a killing in Chang'an City.
(Originally, I was going to write about the white bones of the golden cicada.) I've written a few versions, and I'm not satisfied, so I'll go to this chapter first. )
