Chapter 42: The Banquet of the Garden Spirit

The stone monkey didn't know how to answer for a while. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info can't say that this old woman is his mother, or a relative. But the Emperor of the Northern Yin Emperor knew that he jumped out of the multicolored stone and was born to raise it.

At this time, the Venerable Muggallian spoke: "The disciple of the Western Shakyamuni Buddha sat down and the Muggallian has seen the Emperor of the Northern Yin Xudu! This matter is all caused by me, and I also ask the Emperor of the Northern Yin Xudu not to blame the stone monkey donor!"

I once heard the King of the Earth mention you, saying that you are the first of the many disciples of the Buddha, and that only the first disciple Sariputta can compare with you. The Jade Emperor just told me that you are going to hell to save your mother, and it seems that this hungry old woman is your mother?"

Venerable Moggallian replied, "Yes, and ask the Emperor of the Northern Yin Emperor to allow me to take my mother out of hell?"

The Emperor of the Northern Yin Dynasty responded: "For the sake of the face of the Bodhisattva King of the Earth, I will let your mother leave hell this time! But this karma is to be counted on your head, and you must understand the consequences!"

Venerable Muggallian hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you to the Emperor of the Northern Yin Dynasty! ”

When the Emperor of the Northern Yin Emperor was leaving, he said to the stone monkey: "If the stone monkey Taoist wants to enter any place in the underworld in the future, even if it is in hell, the ghost head gold medal I gave can be used as a pass, and the road will be unimpeded!

The stone monkey hurriedly raised his hand to promise that next time he came, he would definitely take the avenue and no longer forcibly trespass.

Subsequently, the voice of the Emperor of the Northern Yin and the Six Heavenly Palaces of the Emperor of the Northern Yin and the Six Heavenly Palaces of the Xudu disappeared.

Seeing that the Great Emperor of the Northern Yin Dynasty had left, the stone monkey couldn't help but ask Venerable Muggallian in embarrassment, "How are we leaving?"

Venerable Mu Ganlian was also embarrassed and said: "I didn't expect that the stone monkey benefactor would be favored by the Emperor of the Northern Yin Dynasty, and he was given a pass token to stay in the hell of the underworld! I wanted to force my way out just now, but now it seems that I don't need to. Let's take the main road!"

When I came there was darkness, but when I returned, it was in the light.

Because Venerable Moggallian was in a hurry, the stone monkey didn't go to visit his old friends in the underworld, Niu Tou, Ma Mian, and their children, as well as Sansheng Shi, Meng Po, King Yama, and so on.

still jumped from the cliff of the past life into the six realms of reincarnation, but this time it was the path of heaven.

Different from humanity, the way of heaven is more like sublimation, like being washed away by a clear spring, and all the fatigue is gone, like the satisfaction after a good sleep......

After returning to Mount Meru from the Heavenly Palace, the true spirit of the Venerable Moggallian left the body of the stone monkey, and the stone monkey handed over the old woman to the Maitreya Buddha on the side. After that, it has nothing to do with the stone monkey.

Princess Iron Fan stepped forward and asked curiously at the stone monkey, "Why didn't you return from the Great Array of Deaths as planned?"

Mentioning this stone monkey, he replied a little embarrassedly: "We were just about to return from the original road, but we were blocked by the Emperor of the Northern Yin and the Six Heavenly Palaces of the Xudu. What happened later...... We're coming back from the avenue!"

Seeing that the stone monkey said vaguely, Princess Iron Fan smiled understandingly, teasing the stone monkey and said: "You can't steal people's things, but you are caught by the master!

The stone monkey smiled helplessly with the princess of the iron fan, but did not answer.

The old mother of Lishan on the side said at this time: "Okay, okay! Now that Venerable Muggallian has rescued his biological mother, it can be regarded as a complete merit." We are ready to prepare and go together to the appointment of the Buddha. Don't be rude then!

The stone monkey was even more embarrassed when he said this, and he was still muttering to himself in his heart: When did I stop paying respects? I am courteous everywhere, and I always return the courtesy, whether it is a Buddha or a god, or a demon or a monster! It is not rude to hook shoulders and put on one's back! That is a symbol of the good of the brothers.

The four Bodhisattvas and the Venerable Moggallian went to the old woman, leaving only Maitreya Buddha to accompany the guests.

Maitreya Buddha smiled and said to the stone monkey: "I heard the Venerable Muggallian just say that the Emperor of the Northern Yin Dynasty gave the stone monkey donor a gold medal with a ghost head, I wonder if you can let me see it?"

The stone monkey just wanted to pat Maitreya Buddha on the shoulder, and remembered what his sister had just said, so he changed the ghost head gold medal with some scorn and handed it to Maitreya Buddha.

As soon as this ghost head gold medal came out, everyone's attention was attracted.

For this ghost head gold medal, there have always been only rumors in the Three Realms, but no one has ever seen it. Everyone was curious.

On the one hand, the good is rewarded, and the evil is punished, and the green ghost fangs exude a gloomy atmosphere. In particular, the inscription engraved on the token seems to be able to seduce the soul.

After the ghost head gold medal circled in everyone's hands, it was handed back to the stone monkey by the queen mother.

After watching the Ghost Head Gold Medal, everyone was silent for a while.

The stone monkey can't help but be a little strange, isn't it just a card, is there anything strange about it, or a special meaning. But I didn't see any difference at all.

The stone monkey looked at the princess of the iron fan, but the princess of the iron fan did not speak, but just shook her head at the stone monkey, signaling the stone monkey not to say much at this time, and to talk later.

Okay, let's all be silent. Anyway, we have to wait for the Lord Gandhara and the four Bodhisattvas.

Now I have nothing to do, just look at how the Venerable Muggallian has surpassed the ghosts.

At this moment, the biological mother of the Venerable Moggallian was lying there flat, and Guanyin Bodhisattva took out the willow in the jade bottle and kept sprinkling water on her.

I saw her rapidly changing appearance, as if she had rejuvenated, her flesh and bones were plump again, her face was ruddy again, and her hair was black again. Even the stains on the linen were washed clean.

Then the Venerable Moggallian personally recited the scriptures, only to see the golden light blooming, the ground surging golden lotus, and a strange fragrance came. There seems to be an eightfold Buddha shadow showing, and the Western Elysium is revealed. The momentum is huge and solemn.

Anyway, the stone monkey was just watching the excitement, and he didn't know what scriptures the Venerable Moggallian was reciting, nor what kind of magical power the golden inscriptions were flying around, and he didn't know what kind of Buddha weapon the four Bodhisattvas were holding in their hands at the moment.

When I thought that I had surpassed the female ghost in the Lethe River, I didn't seem to have any vision, so I just recited the "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra". Maybe the female ghost in the Lethe River didn't have any sin in the first place, but she just refused to leave the Lethe River before. It's a pity that she is too similar to the Five Dragon Maiden......

When the stone monkey was distracted, Venerable Muggallian had already completed the transcendence, and he couldn't help but shed a tear as he saw his mother enter the Western Elysium.

After Venerable Muggallian thanked everyone again for their help, he bowed to the stone monkey again.

But the stone monkey is still in a state of distraction......

Seeing that the stone monkey had not returned the salute for a long time, the old mother of Lishan couldn't help but pat the stone monkey's head, helped Venerable Muganlian up with both hands, and said again and again: "Venerable Muganlian is really polite! You're welcome! You're welcome!"

After the stone monkey made an 'oops' sound, he came back to his senses completely, and before he could figure out the situation, he saluted to everyone and said, "Please forgive me! Please forgive me! I was distracted just now! Please forgive me!"

Seeing the stone monkey's action, everyone was a little crying and laughing, and Maitreya Buddha even patted his stomach and laughed.

The stone monkey only smiled awkwardly, and looked at the old mother of Lishan beside him with inquiring eyes, but was glared back by the old mother of Lishan with her eyes.

Everyone laughed, and then under the leadership of the Venerable Muggallian, they went to the palace of the royal palace to attend the banquet. And Maitreya Buddha still said goodbye to everyone with a smile and went back to his own Mount Meru.

Coming to Wangshe City again, the stone monkey changed into a little monk again.

I saw that at this time, the city was full of lights, like a festival, people were running to farewell, flocking to the Yuanyuan Essence House, vying to witness this peerless building.

Venerable Moggallian said to everyone, "Please go first, I will go to the Aqi River to meet the Buddha." ”

After saying this, the Venerable Moggalla gave the four bodhisattvas a look and turned to leave.

After receiving the instructions from Venerable Moggallian, the four bodhisattvas immediately said, "Please come with us, let's go to the Yuanyuan Monastery first!"

So under the leadership of the four Bodhisattvas, the group followed the crowd and soon came to the Yuanyuan Monastery.

Before the stone monkey could take a closer look at the well-decorated Yuanyuan Monastery, he heard someone shouting, "Look! That Buddha was so powerful, he could change in eighteen ways! It's amazing. ”

When the four bodhisattvas heard this, they immediately walked out of the crowd and entered the gate of the Yuanyuan Monastery, only to see Sariputta alone fighting against a dozen outsiders.

At this time, Sariputta demonstrated the eighteen kinds of transformation techniques, and finally convinced these foreign paths, and even proclaimed: "The Buddha is so powerful!

Seeing this, the four bodhisattvas let go of their previous worries and hurriedly saluted Sariputta.

Sariputta smiled and welcomed the group of stone monkeys inside, while asking the monks to hurry up and prepare fragrant tea to entertain the distinguished guests.

But before the stone monkeys could drink the fragrant tea, they heard someone shouting outside: "Go and see, the Aqi River is rising, the bridge is flooded, and the outer road and the Buddha are blocked on the other side of the river." ”

The stone monkey also felt strange, how could the Buddha's great magical power be blocked by the river on the opposite bank, and a soaring cloud flew over.

Holding on to the excitement, the stone monkey confessed to Sariputta and followed the crowd to see what was going on.

But before the stone monkey could get close to the river, he heard someone shouting: "A Buddha has changed into a treasure bridge! What a majestic treasure bridge! There are seven treasures of Buddhism on it, paved with fragrant flowers and silk!"

When the stone monkeys squeezed out the crowd and came to the river, they saw that dozens of people from the outer road had already walked on the treasure bridge. But before the stone monkey could see the seven treasures of Buddhism on the treasure bridge, the treasure bridge suddenly broke, and dozens of people from the outer road fell into the river one after another, struggling on the water to call for help.

As soon as the stone monkey wanted to cast a spell to rescue these outer paths from the river, he saw a group of Buddhas coming, and the treasure bridge automatically returned to its original state.

Then a group of Buddhas crossed the bridge and came to the other side of the Aja River. And the treasure bridge changed into an eye, and the Venerable Gandhara stood behind the Buddha.

Then that Buddha must be the Buddha, does he look very ordinary, his face is still a little fat, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he is dressed in a yellow monk's robe.

If the Buddha cast a spell and rescued dozens of foreign paths who fell into the river, he didn't bother with them, and led a group of disciples to the Yuanyuan Retreat.

After these dozens of outer roads came ashore, they supported each other and sorted out their clothes under the sun.

Seeing that the excitement was over, the crowd around slowly dispersed. The stone monkey also returned to the Yuanyuan Lodge.

Returning to the Yuanyuan Essence House again, someone had already begun to arrange a seat, and the princess of the iron fan hurriedly pulled the stone monkey to the side and sat down.

And the old mother of Lishan, who was sitting on the side, glanced at the stone monkey several times in this short period of time, and kept signaling the stone monkey to sit down quickly, and even rumored to the stone monkey: "Where did you run just now? Why can't you find it all the time! The banquet is about to start, and there are so many great powers present, you can't be rude!"

The stone monkey nodded silently, and decided to sit upright for an afternoon.

The banquet scene was very lively, mainly because a group of outsiders had just come and made noise with the monks in the courtyard, which attracted many citizens to watch. Add to that the arrival of kings and princes, and it's even more lively.

Of course, there were many, many people who came to this banquet, but the stone monkeys didn't know any of them, and they couldn't hear what they were saying, so they followed behind Princess Iron Fan and Old Mother Lishan, and saw what they did, and did what they did.

The stone monkey looked left and right, and saw Sariputta and Muggallian, they were very busy, and even the four bodhisattvas kept welcoming and sending guests off.

After a long time, the stone monkey also felt very bored, so he wanted to find a free time to hide in a no-man's corner, but he had no choice but to take the stone monkey with her sister in everything, and kept introducing the stone monkey to different people.

The stone monkey wants to run away, yes!

Seeing that Zhenyuan Daxian on the side saluted him, the stone monkey immediately said to Lishan's mother: "Sister, sister, Zhenyuan Daxian has something to do with me, I will go back when I go!"

After saying this, the stone monkey didn't wait for the old mother of Lishan to react, and immediately flashed.

Princess Iron Fan looked at the stone monkey running away, and couldn't help but smile at the old mother of Lishan: "Sister should spare the little brother of the stone monkey!" I see that he has long been impatient, just now Zhenyuan Daxian where was he looking for him, Zhenyuan Daxian saw that the little brother of the stone monkey kept looking at him, and nodded politely in response. ”

Lishan's mother could only smile helplessly: "I just want to introduce him to know more people, and if there is an inconvenient place in the future, someone will help him." It never hurts to make more friends!"

Princess Iron Fan also understands the intentions of the old mother of Lishan, but the little brother of the stone monkey is a man of temperament, and the most impatient thing is these false politeness! Besides, everyone has their own chances. When the opportunity of the little brother of the stone monkey is spoken, there are a few people in the Three Realms who are not envious. Lishan's mother is just too careful.
