Chapter 174: Emei Tara Tower

Zhou Kang asked the little monk about the location of the Tara Tower.

The little monk said: "You ask others, others may not know, you ask me, just the right person, I just came back from the Tara Tower!"

Zhou Kang asked, "So, where is the Tara Tower?"

The little monk said, "If there is nothing to do, I will take you there." ”

Zhou Kangxi said: "So, little master, I can't thank you enough." ”

The little monk closed the temple gate and led the way beside him, and Zhou Kang followed closely behind with the golden scale carving.

The mountain road circled, and Zhou Kang asked, "This Tara Tasha is hard to find, little master." ”

The little monk replied: "This is natural, this is a strange pagoda in Mount Emei, and it also has some origins. ”

"What is the origin?"

The little monk said: "Three years ago, I went to Shanbei Village with my master to do Buddhist work, passing through a mountain recess, where there was a female tiger catching a stale, and I was about to catch it. ”

Zhou Kang listened with great interest and asked, "What happened?"

The little monk said: "My master Fuxian Bodhisattva earnestly said the Dharma and spoke bitterly, but this female tiger had a lot of bad karma, and refused to listen no matter what, and insisted on biting the stag. My master said, 'You live by eating meat, and the stag lives by eating grass, and if you let the stag eat grass freely, I will give you my flesh to eat.' The tigress agreed. ”

Zhou Kang asked in surprise: "Did the female teacher eat your master?" After asking, this question is purely redundant, if Fuxian Bodhisattva is eaten, he will not go to Wutai Mountain in Shanxi for a few days.

The little monk shook his head and said, "No, the female tiger let go of the stag, the stag fled away, and my master lay in front of the female tiger's head, and the female tiger opened its huge mouth and wanted to devour my master." At this time, Guanyin Bodhisattva passed by here, and when he saw my master doing this, he conjured up a seven-story pagoda out of thin air, and directly put the female tiger under the pagoda. ”

Zhou Kang said: "Guanyin Bodhisattva is so ruthless, it is not as good as your master. ”

The little monk said, "Not really. ”

"Oh? So what?"

The little monk said, "Donor, listen to the little monk continue." ”

"Okay, you say. ”

The little monk said: "My master saw that the pagoda had been completed, and the sound of the female tiger's roar was still faintly visible, so he asked Guanyin Bodhisattva, 'I want to sacrifice my body to feed the tiger, so that the female tiger will be less angry and enlighten the Dharma, why does Guanyin Dashi stop it?' Guanyin Bodhisattva said, 'I Buddha Rulai did the same thing on the day of the Buddha, and this tiger is not the other tiger, the same method may not be used again, I use the pagoda to suppress it, hoping that it will spend time under the pagoda, after years and months, long-term practice, it should also know the mystery of Buddhism. My master, Puxian Bodhisattva, replied with a smile, 'It seems that my method is not as good as yours.' Guanyin Bodhisattva also replied with a smile, "It's better to use both methods to help the tiger realize the Tao." After saying this, my master and Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at each other and smiled, and they knew each other. ”

Zhou Kang said: "In this way, your master Fuxian Bodhisattva and his old man's ability are inferior to Guanyin Bodhisattva after all?

The little monk said: "It's not right for the donor to say this, in fact, whether it is a deer or a tiger, it is my master's evolution, it is not true to say that it is true, and it is not false to say that it is false, and in the same way, Guanyin Bodhisattva was invited by his old man, and the two of them actually used this method to educate me on the way to Buddhahood." ”

Zhou Kang suddenly said: "I see, Buddhism is so difficult to educate the world. ”

The little monk said, "Exactly." ”

The two of them were talking, and they arrived at a low-lying place in the north of the mountain.

The little monk said, "Donor, please look up, there is the Tara Tower where the female tiger used to be towned." ”

Zhou Kang raised his eyes to look, but saw that the forest was verdant, the grass was lush, and there was no seven-story Tara Tower.

Zhou Kang asked, "Little Master, why didn't I see it, is it because my concentration is not enough?"

The little monk said, "It's right there, stretch out your hand, look at it, and can't help but be surprised, I don't see anything." ”

Zhou Kang said to himself: "What's going on!"

The little monk knocked on his head and said to himself, "It's obviously here, why did it suddenly disappear?"

The little monk took Zhou Kang around the mountain depression a few times, searched for it several times, and did not even find broken bricks and tiles.

Zhou Kang looked at the sincerity of the little monk and knew that he was not a malicious liar, so there must be other reasons for the sudden disappearance of the Tara Tower. Although I couldn't find the Tara Tower for a while, I couldn't blame the little monk, so I said with a pleasant face: "Little Master, I'm tired of you, I'll look for it myself, please go back first, and I'll go to the Fuxian Temple to burn incense another day." ”

The little monk was full of guilt, disappointed and gone, thinking all the way, why did the Tara Pagoda suddenly disappear!

The little monk walked away.

Zhou Kang looked around again, but there was no clue, and suddenly heard the sound of rustling behind those big trees, I don't know what it was, so he hurriedly ran over to look, and saw that it was a few woodcutters who were collecting firewood, hiding there and trembling.

Zhou Kang asked, "What are you afraid of?"

A few woodcutters said, "Just now, it was terrible!"

Zhou Kang asked, "Just now, what was so scary." ”

A few woodcutters said: "What a good Tara tower was lifted up by a few wrestlers and transported to the south of the mountain." ”

Zhou Kang asked, "What kind of wrestler?"

A few woodcutters said, "There are four of them, ah, no, there are five people, one of them is a leader, one foot and six feet long, and they are dressed like armor and official uniforms, and they are nondescript, with small eyes, a long mouth, and a head full of yellow hair, and they look strange, and they look like a dog." ”

Zhou Kang said in a low voice in surprise: "It's the prison general, and sure enough, it must have brought Sister Jing Xiaoxian as well." ”

A few woodcutters said: "Those four wrestlers are really unusual, stand in four directions, stretch out two, four people, eight hands, and lift the seven-story pagoda and fly away." ”

Zhou Kang asked: "Then, under the leadership of the dog-like man, the four wrestlers flew away in the south direction of Mount Emei with the pagoda. We've been chopping wood here for most of our lives, and we've never seen anything like this happening, so we're trembling with fear. ”

Zhou Kang said, "Don't tremble, the tower comes suddenly, the tower walks suddenly, you tremble suddenly, and chop wood suddenly." Everything happened suddenly, why tremble?"

A few people seemed to understand whether they understood or not, but their mood suddenly calmed down.

Zhou Kang drove the golden scale carving, leaving these people who chopped wood, on the back of the carving, in the clouds, Zhou Kang recalled it, and felt more and more funny: I didn't expect to come to this Emei Mountain, I also spoke with some Zen, it was really interesting.

Thinking about it, he soon came to Shannan, and in the open space in Shannan, a seven-story pagoda was awe-inspiring.

Zhou Kang thought to himself: "It's strange, why didn't you find this pagoda just now." ”

Take a closer look at this pagoda, the tower is seven stories high, lined with seven blessings, majestic and magnificent, close to the sky, it is really:

The tower is like a gushing out, lonely and towering heavenly palace.

Ascending out of the world, the road is empty.

Abruptly oppresses China, like a ghost worker.

The four corners obstruct the day, and the seven layers of the sky.

Peek down and look down at the tall bird, and hear the wind down.

Looking at the surroundings of the Tara Tower, fragrant flowers and vines, the indescribable wonderful realm is the same, but in this wonderful realm, there are bursts of murderous aura hidden.

Zhou Kang stared closely, it turned out that the prison general did not leave, but hid in the depths of the forest, looking at the tower from a distance, probably afraid that someone would suddenly approach the pagoda.

And around the prison general, the four strong men stood in pairs, each standing next to the prison general, majestic and impressive, looking very scary.

Zhou Kang thought to himself: "I don't know if my little fairy girl is being suppressed in the tower now." "Listen closely, but you can't hear any movement, it seems that you can only go deep into the tower to find out.

Zhou Kang drove the golden scale carving, flew directly to the top of the tower, the golden scale carving wings with the wind, and his feet firmly grasped the blue glass on the top of the tower.

Zhou Kang jumped to the platform on the seventh floor of the Tara Tower.

Below, the prison general in the mountains and forests saw all this, of course, he couldn't tolerate anyone coming to make trouble, he put his body in a column, and suddenly came to the opposite side of Zhou Kang, and the two stood looking at each other at the top of the Tara Tower.

The prison general smiled slightly: "Young Master Zhou Kang, you came so quickly. ”

Zhou Kang said: "General Prison, your actions are so fast, the tower in the north of the mountain, in a moment, you moved to the south of the mountain." ”

The prison general said: "The feng shui in the north of the mountain is not good, and it is not easy to suppress Jing Xiaoxian. ”

Zhou Kang said: "Jing Xiaoxian, where is she now?"

The prison general smiled, "It's on the fifth floor of this Tara Tower. I am the person with the best temper in the Heavenly Palace, and it was all the Jade Emperor's idea to imprison Jing Xiaoxian, don't blame me!"

Zhou Kang said: "I don't blame you, but I want to meet her!"

The prison general said: "It's not impossible to see her, but you have to be honest and obedient, and you can't think of anything wrong and want to rescue her, which is impossible." ”

Zhou Kang said, "Take me there." ”

The prison general said, "Good!"

So, the general of the prison was in front and Zhou Kang was behind, and the two walked from the seventh floor to the sixth floor, from the sixth floor to the fifth floor, and to the fifth floor of the pagoda.

The atmosphere in the tower is quiet, as if outside the world, the four walls hang the statue of Tara of Guanyin incarnation, and a Buddha bed in the middle.

Jing Xiaoxian sat upright outside the Buddha bed, with her back to the door and facing the wall.

The prison general said, "Jing Xiaoxian, your old man has come to see you. ”

"Is it Han Jiangliu?" Jing Xiaoxian's tone was full of excitement, and when he turned his head to look, he saw that it was Zhou Kang, slightly disappointed but still very excited: "Brother Zhou Kang, you are here!" (To be continued.) )
