Chapter 135: Little Sumeru Mountain
In the evening, the Gao family has already set up a large table of wine and food, although there is no mountain and sea delicacies, but it is really rich. The sister and brother-in-law of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info also attended to accompany them, and after pushing the cup and changing the lamp, the two brothers-in-law saw Gao Lan's current scenery and knew that she was mixing well outside, and her head was getting lower and lower. Gao Lan was puzzled: "What's wrong with the two brothers-in-law, why are you sad?"
Gao Taigong glanced at Yu Rong and Bai Pianpian, and sighed: "Xiaolan, although it is a family ugliness that cannot be publicized, my father can also see that these two are not born. To tell you the truth, your two brothers-in-law are doing business outside, which makes people cheat, and the original family wealth is now very little. Now the people in the village are laughing at our Gao family, and your brother-in-law is ashamed and doesn't dare to go out all day long. ”
"Where is the person who has cheated my sister-in-law?" Hearing this, King Yu couldn't help but pat the table, and King Bai Peng hurriedly stopped him and said with a smile: "Shibo, he drank too much." "They haven't solved their own affairs, so it's better than asking about the things of the mortal realm. Gao Lan listened, but thought it was funny, "The village is laughing at us, hmph, after a few hundred years, they will all die of old age, maybe who will laugh at whom." ”
Gao Lan said, touching his wrist in his waist, and suddenly two large bags of gold and silver were placed on the table, making the Gao family open their mouths wide. Gao Lan smiled: "Father, brother-in-law, you can rest assured that you can live at home, business is not good, just enjoy it." I followed Brother Yu and Sister Bai outside, and I saved a lot of money, which I couldn't spend in dozens of lifetimes! You don't have to worry about money, just be fine. ”
As soon as these words came out, Gao Lan really felt what the concept of wealth was! She fought the autumn wind in Moyun Cave and saved a warehouse of treasures, not to mention Gaojiazhuang, even the Wusi Tibetan Kingdom could buy half of it, and it was really rich enough to rival the country. It can be said that money is now in Gao Lan's eyes, and there is nothing to talk about at all. Because there is a saying that is very clear, the most painful thing in the world is that people die and money is not spent.
Although it is a joke, it is only after you have really stepped into the path of immortality that you can understand how true this sentence is.
"My God......" The family stood up, looked at the two large bags of gold and silver, and thought they were dreaming. After a long time, Gao Taigong bowed to Yu Rong and Bai Pianpian, and said: "Duomeng Engong brings our Gao family, and the old man will never hope for great favor!" ”
King Yu Tamarin and King Bai Peng also knew that it was Gao Lan who was dredging their hearts. The affairs of the mortal world can be solved with money, but the affairs of gods and demons are not solved by money. Gao Taigong and the others collected the gold and silver, as if they had been reborn in an instant.
The old lady said: "Master, our family has always been able to meet difficulties, this is really blessed by the Buddha." Five thousand miles to the northwest from here is the place where Lingji Bodhisattva incense burns; last year I went to Mount Xiao Sumeru to make incense, and this time the family road is prosperous, and it must be the Bodhisattva's manifestation. We should go and put incense on the Bodhisattva, and make a vow!"
"That's right, Lingji Bodhisattva!" King Bai Peng couldn't help but light up when he heard this. "Xiaolan, I heard that Lingji Bodhisattva has great powers, and he is compassionate and saves all sentient beings. This time, why don't we just go to Lingji Bodhisattva for this reason......" she said, and quickly stopped, almost revealing the secret of heaven. Gao Lan just thought it was funny, if the family heard that they were going to deal with the hydra, would they believe it?
However, what King Bai Peng said was also very reasonable. Gao Lan also made up his mind, go to Xiaosu Mountain to try his luck, if he can invite Lingji Bodhisattva, then dealing with a nine-headed insect is not the same as swatting a mosquito to death?" Daddy, then we'll repair at home for two days, and then I'll go to Little Sumeru Mountain with Brother Yu and Sister Bai to make a vow! Daddy and my sister and brother-in-law are at home, take care of the housework, don't worry about it. ”
"Good. The family had made a decision, and the next meal was the real joy, and it was not until late at night that it dispersed.
A few days later, after settling down the affairs of the family, Gao Lan went towards Little Sumeru Mountain with King Baipeng and King Yu Tamarin. On the way, passing by Futu Mountain again, Gao Lan couldn't help but fall into the clouds, and King Baipeng and King Yu Tamarin also came to this Futu Mountain with her, and both of them showed surprised looks: "Xiaoqian World, Buddha Kingdom in the palm of your hand!" Gao Lan was also surprised, because she had only now seen the true face of Futu Mountain.
It's a small world here!
But it was not closed like the other Buddhas and Dao Ancestors' small thousand worlds, but naturally existed here, as if it was a void land that naturally grew out of the Flowing Cloud Inland Sea. After Gao Lan came into contact with this small world, her heart was filled with an incomparable sense of intimacy, and she seemed to want to integrate into its embrace. Gao Lan thought about it, dug a pit under the black nest, and then divided half of the gold and silver treasures he got and buried them.
There are too many things on his body, and it is inconvenient to walk, Gao Lan also thought about it for a long time, and finally put things here. After burying the money, he took a small earthen bag, used the Five Thunder Rectification Method to suppress the treasure, and then drew a circle outside with a freewheeling iron soldier. King Baipeng and King Yu Tamarin looked at Gao Lan's appearance and escaped a miser. But this also can't complain about Gao Lan, if she doesn't have a livelihood in the future, she will have to live on this money. After doing all this, Gao Lan clapped her hands with reassurance: "Yo Xi!"
"This holy mountain is Xiaolan's cave mansion. King Yu couldn't help but ask. Gao Lan smiled: "How can I have this qualification? It's just that I once cultivated here." "The Wuchao Zen Master of Futu Mountain did not allow Gao Lan to tell others about her teacher's inheritance, so Gao Lan did not dare to say more. After staying here silently for a while, Gao Lan cheered up and flew to Little Sumeru Mountain with them.
Outside the small Sumeru Mountain, there is the Yellow Wind Cave, and the Yellow Sand Village. Gao Lan had met many mortals here, but now she didn't have the time to talk to those villagers and land protectors. With King Baipeng and King Yu Tamarin, they flew to the outside of Little Sumeru Mountain, Gao Lan really saw this Little Sumeru Mountain at this time, just like really looking at Futu Mountain, his heart was full of shock: Although this Little Sumeru Mountain is not a small world, it goes straight to the sky, so high that you can't see the end at a glance.
In Buddhism, it has been described that the sacred mountain that supports the four seas and five continents and the vast world is "Mount Meru", and the person who guards this mountain is King Vajra Bodhisattva. And at the junction of the continents, there are Tianshan Mountains to support the ground, this small Sumeru Mountain is one of them, half of the holding up is the South Zhanbu Continent, and the other half is holding up the West Niuhe Continent. Therefore, it is more like a pillar than a mountain.
At the foot of the small Sumeru mountain is a large Zen temple, pilgrims come and go constantly, and in the middle of the mountainside above the hundreds of miles is a circle of palaces, which is the residence of Lingji Bodhisattva. Although this mountain is not as full of flowers as the place where the immortals are scattered, it makes people feel a sense of reverence when they look at it. At this time, Gao Lan couldn't help but think that he seemed to have come to the edge of the sky and saw the pillar that held up the sky.
"This is Little Sumeru Mountain, right? Let's go and meet Lingji Bodhisattva, will he take care of us?" King Bai Peng hesitated for a moment. Although they have some ability, they also know how big the identity gap is between themselves and Lingji Bodhisattva. At the same time, they were also a little skeptical about Gao Lan's face, Sun Wukong was able to see Lingji Bodhisattva, but it didn't mean that Gao Lan could also go over to discuss things.
"This ......" Gao Lan heard this, and his heart was a little uncertain for a while. But since you've been here, you can't give up, right......? After making up his mind, Gao Lan said, "Why don't we go to the Zen monastery below first and donate some incense money to the Bodhisattva? Cheering everyone up, Gao Lan took the two of them to the Zen courtyard at the bottom of the mountain.
When I arrived at the outfield of the Zen monastery, I saw many people and believers going to the mountain in groups, making wishes to burn incense and donate incense money. Gao Lan and the others also put away the appearance of the demon immortals and went up the mountain with those people. The dojo of Mt. Kosumeru is very large, and there are many monks and novices who serve here along the way, and outside the meditation hall, you can see many Dingjia priests.
The three of them did not dare to slack off, lined up to wait for the place to worship, one of them invited a pillar of incense, knelt on the garden of the main hall, and made a wish to the statue of Lingji Bodhisattva: "Lingji Bodhisattva is above, the disciples are in trouble today, come to ask for help from the Bodhisattva to manifest their spirits, and help the disciples to subdue demons and eliminate demons." If the Bodhisattva is compassionate and helps each other, the disciple will definitely not hope for great grace in the future, and he will make incense and return his wish!"
After the prayer, Gao Lan took out the prepared gift box and gift list, and presented it to the monk with both hands. After the monk opened the gift list, his face changed suddenly, and he sang loudly: "Believer Gao Lan, Bai Pianpian, Yu Tamarin Xu Xiang petitioned, donated incense money: 800,000 taels of gold, 10 million taels of silver, build temples and buildings, and cross the golden body!"
After the ministry monk finished reading, he hurriedly stepped forward to help Gao Lan and the three of them, with a smile on his face: "Three distinguished guests, please go to the backyard to rest!" Gao Lan also clasped his hands and bowed: "Master Lao, the three of us have come to see the Bodhisattva because of the calamity of illness." I don't know if I have the fate to see the Bodhisattva's golden face?" The monk said, "Whether the Bodhisattva is on the mountain or not, the little monk doesn't know. But the three of them can stay in the meditation room, and he can come back when he wants, and when he visits. ”
"That's it, thank you!" Gao Lan returned the salute with his palms together, but a little novice invited them to the inner courtyard first.
The inner courtyard is already close to the foot of Mt. Komeru, and when you look up here, Mt. Komeru is simply a towering pillar that goes straight into the sky, which is very spectacular. King Baipeng and King Yu Tamarin also really admired Gao Lan's generosity, they had been operating on Xunxian Island for many years, although their business was now seized, but they had also accumulated a lot of gold and silver in the world. However, a shot like Gao Lan is tens of millions of silver, which still makes them feel painful.
Fortunately, in this 10 million taels of silver, I bought a "ticket" to enter Little Sumeru Mountain. Otherwise, if they want to get close to Mt. Komeru, the possibility is almost non-existent.
Money can make ghosts grind, and money can make Buddhas jump over the wall. As long as they have the opportunity to enter the Little Sumeru Mountain, they live here every day, and if they have the opportunity, they will go up to visit it, and if they don't believe it, they won't see Lingji Bodhisattva. Gao Lan said, "Since we can all go into the backyard, why don't we go up and visit today?" The two also nodded happily, and then rode up together on the clouds and flew towards the fairy palace halfway up the mountainside.
