Chapter 187: Now is the beginning of the day
After the master and apprentice passed Lingyundu, they embarked on a flat mountain road. The pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info gradually moving forward, the time has passed the afternoon, but at this time it is not late, it is still sunny, and I can't help but be secretly surprised. Between the roads, but see the dense place of the temple again, only to see a high-rise building, several floors of the pavilion, the air is magnificent, extraordinary; one after another the giant carved ancient Buddha stands on the top of the tower, showing the style of the western heaven bliss.
The four fields are scattered all over the place, the mountain gate Qionglou is the temple, the ancient Buddha giant statue is in sight, and the smoke and incense are surrounded by immortals. Even people who don't understand the Buddhist rites at all can see that this place is the real Western Heaven Elysium. Sun Wukong pulled Tang Seng's sleeve, and said with a smile: "Master, in previous years, when you arrived at the fake Buddha statue in the false realm, you went down and bowed." Now that I've arrived at the True Realm True Buddha Statue, I don't recognize it?"
Tang Seng reacted at this time, hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground, bowing down to the mountain gate. Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Seng, and Gao Lan also knelt down to worship, and even the white dragon horse knelt down on its front hooves. At this time, on the top of the temple in front, there was a hearty laughter, and the master and apprentice looked up, but it was a Taoist wearing brocade clothes, jade dust in his hands, and a golden crown on his head.
This Taoist is very popular, his body is full of treasures, and he is pleasant, and he is not an ordinary person at first glance.
Sun Wukong said happily: "Master, the golden-topped immortal of the Jade True Temple at the foot of Lingshan has picked you up!" Tang Seng was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly tidied up his clothes and crowns, and stepped forward to greet him. Daxian smiled and said: "Guanyin Bodhisattva received the golden decree of the Buddha and ordered me to wait here every year for the scriptures. Originally, I only said that it would arrive in two or three years, but I don't want you to get it today!" Tang Seng listened, clasped his palms and said: "There is Lao Daxian's grand intentions, gratitude, gratitude!"
After speaking, the four masters and apprentices entered the Jade True Temple with the Great Immortal.
In the Jade True View, it is simple and elegant, pine and cypress, and it is indeed a good place for quiet cultivation. The gold-topped immortal ordered the little boy to call the fairy soup in the color pool, and only said: "Please stay here tonight and use this fairy soup to wash off the dirt along the way." Tomorrow is a good morning to see the Buddha. Tang Seng hurriedly agreed. At the moment, the master and apprentice are bathed in fairy soup, Tang Seng, and Sun Wukong. Bajie, the four sand monks all changed into robes.
Gao Lan didn't have a robe, and covered a bell robe over the scholar's robe, but it also had the atmosphere of meeting the Buddha. Anyway, she is a demon fairy, but she doesn't need to talk about so many rules.
The next day will be bright. The master and apprentice led the white horse and walked out of the Jade True Temple; the gold-topped immortal pointed to the Lingshan with a smile and said: "Holy monk, you see that there are auspicious lights in the five colors in that half of the sky, and the Ruicai is a thousand heavy, which is the Buddha's holy realm and the peak of the vulture! Tang monk and apprentice hurriedly said goodbye to the great immortal and headed towards Lingshan.
Gradually walking up the Ling Mountain, the master and apprentice only felt that their bodies were getting lighter and lighter, and soon they climbed the stone path to the top of the mountain. I saw that the thunder sound ancient temple went straight to the sky. The strange stone is uneven, the Qiao peak is arranged in front of you, the Yaoqi flower under the cliff, the beautiful scenery is pleasant, the fairy fragrance is fragrant; soon after walking on the stone path, you can see the white crane flock up closely, see the colorful phoenix in pairs from afar, the green and green grass on the water surface are in pairs, the white ape in the forest and mountain offers fruit, it is indeed the weather of the holy realm of the Buddha.
The master and apprentice walked away. The more I feel at ease, the more I feel tired, even though the path is long. Unconsciously, he has reached the top of the Spirit Mountain. Looking at it as far as the eye can see, the surroundings are already surrounded by colorful clouds, Lingshan is like a fairy island in the sea of clouds, and the mountain gate of Da Lei Yin Temple is already close in front of you! Under the green pines and cypresses, there are Youpo good people sitting in a row, and the master and apprentice hurriedly approached. Bow to them with your palms together.
Panicked, the good man hurriedly returned the salute: "The holy monk doesn't have to be like this, hurry up and worship the Buddha!"
Tang monks and apprentices straightened their clothes and came to the mountain gate.
When the four King Kongs guarding the mountain gate saw it, they hurriedly entered the temple and asked: "Buddha, the holy monk of the Tang Dynasty has come to learn the scriptures!"
The Buddha was overjoyed when he heard this, that is, he summoned the eight great bodhisattvas, the four great vajras, the five hundred aro, the three thousand truths, the eleven great vajra, and the eighteen garans, and arranged them neatly in the main hall; the immortal and Buddha figures who came to the Da Lei Yin Temple to pay homage to the preaching meeting were also invited to come to the hall one after another, sit down in separate positions, and look forward to it! For a time, in the main hall of the Great Lei Yin Temple, 10,000 gold beads of Changming were hung high, illuminating the brilliance of a golden wall inside and outside, and after the gods came, the fairy mist was filled.
The Buddha set the number of gifts, and then it was rumored: "Tang Xuanzang, come to see you." ”
"Tang Xuanzang met ——!"
The sound of singing one by one finally reached the ears of Tang monks and apprentices. A few hurriedly knelt down in front of the mountain gate to worship, and then got up and stepped into the mountain gate of the Great Lei Yin Temple. The mountain gate of the big thunder sound temple is majestic, there are dozens of zhang high, after entering the door, it is a large courtyard, five hundred Arhats sit on both sides, like a clay sculpture in general, the lines are not moving, the weather is majestic; after passing through the courtyard fairy pavilion, then come to the second gate.
The second gate is a carved top of the high and wide Daxiong Treasure Palace, three thousand truths layer by layer, row by row on both sides, one by one tiger eyes round open; the treasure hall is enshrined the statues of the major Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, the master and apprentice hurriedly visited again, only then passed through the two gates, came to the Vulture Immortal Palace. After the three doors were opened, the golden light was printed with colorful clouds, and it swept out from the door, and after the master and apprentice walked into the Vulture Immortal Palace, they hurriedly bowed to the ground.
The Vulture Immortal Palace is the main hall of the Great Lei Yin Temple, where the Buddha is worshipped!
Here, in the left and right courts, there are 18 Arhats, 11 Great Bodhisattvas, and 18 Garans, and the eight Great Bodhisattvas sit on the lotus platform respectively, and the treasures are solemn. The four great vajra guards stand on the right lotus platform, and on the lotus platform sits a huge Buddha with a figure as high as six zhang and a faint golden phantom on his body. Behind the Buddha's head, a golden halo was cast, like a scorching sun, which made him seem to sit by the sun all the time, and the light was so dazzling that people did not dare to look at it directly.
Although in this vulture immortal palace, there are many big gods and small gods, but this Buddha has completely shown a mastery bearing, as if he is the center of the world and the universe, the master of the immortal Buddha: he is the Buddha, the head of the Buddha sect, and the head of the five elders of the world. When the Tang monks and apprentices came to the front of the hall, they hurriedly bowed down and bowed, then bowed left and right, and finally knelt down in front of the Buddha.
Tang Seng didn't dare to raise his head, took out the customs clearance text, Gao Cheng and the top of his head, kowtowed: "Disciple Dongtu Chen Xuanzang, according to the decree of the Tang Emperor, remote treasure temple, worship the true scriptures." Along the way, I don't dare to slack off, hope that the Buddha will be gracious, give the disciples the Sanzang Sutra, and benefit the people of the East and the Earth!" When the Buddha saw it, he made an ethereal sound.
"You are a great Tang Dynasty with a wide range of things, many deceitful and deceitful! Disloyalty, unfilial piety, unkindness and injustice, sowing boundless sins. ”
When Tang Seng heard this, his face was full of shame, he kowtowed again and again, and said straightly: "I hope that the Buddha will give his disciples the Pudu Sutra to benefit the people of Dongtu." ”
The Buddha said, "I now have three canons, each of which has five thousand and forty-eight volumes. The "Fa" is a collection and talks about the sky, the "Treatise" is a collection and talks about the earth, and the "Sutra" is a collection and is a ghost. There are a total of 35 books in Sanzang, and the 15,144 volumes are the scriptures of cultivating the truth and the door of righteousness and goodness. All the astronomy, geography, people, birds and beasts, flowers and trees, utensils, and personnel of the four continents are all recorded. You wait for the distance to obtain the true scriptures, and spread them to the east, and do not be disdainful. ”
When Tang Seng heard this, he hurriedly kowtowed and said: "The disciple asks for the true scriptures, and hopes that the Buddha will give it." ”
When the Buddha heard this, he did not reply, and after muttering, he only said, "Mahakalya, Atha! First take the master and apprentice of Dongtu to the Dongyin Pavilion, treat them with fasting, and then fax the sutras." After the Buddha finished speaking, the two disciples beside him received the Buddha's decree and took the Tang monks and apprentices to the Dongyin Pavilion Zhenlou first.
Afternoon.
"Master, everything here is fresh vegetables and fruits, not as good as the mortal world, let's eat and eat! ”
At the banquet, Bajie, who had been holding back all the way for too long, couldn't help it for a long time, and ate it with an open stomach. Gao Lan also recognized that many of these fasting fruits were immortal products similar to Bi Lotus Zizhi, even if some were ordinary fruits, they were also Danshan, which was indeed a good tonic for strengthening the body and prolonging life. At the very least, Gao Lan can't refine such a good meal now.
So a few apprentices are not polite at all now, and they eat Haisai one by one. The two of them were even more terrible, and they quietly pulled all the best Danshan in front of them, eager to grow two more mouths. Sun Wukong looked at their eating appearance, and couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, stepped forward to grab a few plates, and sneered: "Two Venerables, it's a good errand to accompany you to eat?"
"Wukong!" Seeing that Sun Wukong brought a few plates of good dishes to Tang Seng, Tang Seng did not have any taste at this time. He only said: "Two Venerables, I don't know if I can give the true scriptures as soon as possible, so don't delay for too long." ”
"Hmm......" Looking at the table full of uneaten fairy food, Ah Da and Jia Ye looked reluctant. But he couldn't violate the Buddha's decree, so he had to open the robe first and stuff everything that could be loaded into his sleeve, and then squeezed out a smirk: "Holy monk, please!" Tang Seng also quickly stood up: "Please!" Seeing this, Gao Lan also took a plate of crisp fruit and poured it into his sleeve.
When Bajie saw it, he simply took two plates: "Please!"
"I ...... Damn!" Ah Da and Jia Ye's faces twitched, and they took Tang Seng and his party into the scripture building.
Inside the treasure building, simple and elegant, the same is surrounded by fairy incense; on the cabinet of each scripture, outside the treasure box, there are red stickers, and the name of the book is tired. At this time, not only Tang Seng but also Gao Lan and the others were all straight-eyed, because many scriptures, in addition to the Jishi Treatise, were all supreme scriptures that had extremely high benefits for cultivation! It can be said that if you understand the contents of the scriptures, the benefits that can be obtained by reasoning and visualizing are simply unimaginable.
Cultivation is originally derived from the scriptures, and is inseparable from astronomy and geography, people, birds and beasts, but the little things that Gao Lan has comprehended cannot be compared with these great gods of Buddhism, and the Sanzang Sutra is useless in the hands of ordinary people, but it is different for monks. It's like a person who can't count is useless to get a textbook on advanced mathematics, but as long as there is a certain foundation, this book can make people climb to the sky and become an expert among experts.
This is the Tripitaka Sutra.
At this time, even Sun Wukong couldn't help but step forward and touch the scripture cabinet, but was pushed away by the fat Venerable Ah Ao: "Hairy hands and feet, don't move without permission!" (To be continued.) )
