Xuanzang was helpless and said: "Life and death are fate, reincarnation is in the sky, since I can't know, it's useless for me to think about it, so I can only give up." Prime Minister, your great kindness, the poor monk Xuanzang will never forget. ”

The case of the parents is unsolved, where the soul goes, it is not the power of the gods and Buddhas, and no one can have this magical power.

Wei Zheng said: "Master Xuanzang, I have a word, I don't know if I can say it. ”

"Please advise!" Xuanzang said.

"Master, you are a high-ranking monk, the four major monks are empty, and there is something in the red dust, let him go with the wind. Single-mindedly to the Buddha will achieve positive results as soon as possible. ”

"What the prime minister said is extremely true. But my master, Elder Fa Ming, told me a story when I was very young. He said that there was once a golden cicada Bodhisattva under the Buddha's seat, wisdom and understanding are unparalleled, and the speed of practicing Buddhism is also extremely fast, the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth, Manjushri, Puxian Bodhisattva and the South China Sea Guanyin Bodhisattva are far from his opponents, I asked why this golden cicada Bodhisattva is so powerful, the master said, this golden cicada Bodhisattva from hundreds of thousands of scriptures and books to understand another Buddhist Zen principle, that is, the cultivation of the Buddha and the four emptiness can actually be ignored at all, the same can be cultivated into the Buddha's Tao Heng. The more I read the scriptures, the more I feel that Master's story is the finishing touch to my understanding of the Dharma. ”

Wei Zheng was stunned: "Master, I don't understand what you mean?"

Xuanzang said: "Prime Minister, for example, the Buddha said to abstain from lewdness (yin), but what the Golden Cicada Bodhisattva realized was: abstain from prostitution and not abstain from affection. In other words, the Golden Cicada Bodhisattva believes that monks can love others and marry wives and have children. Of course, he himself did not marry and have children."

Wei Zheng was completely stunned and opened his mouth.

Xuanzang said: "The prime minister doesn't need to be shocked, my master also specially warned me, saying that the golden cicada Bodhisattva finally entered the demon path, he created another Dharma, challenged the Buddha, and was destroyed by the Buddha himself." ”

Wei Zheng said: "Master Xuanzang, the concept of the Golden Cicada Bodhisattva, the four major are not all empty, can you cultivate Buddha, does it have an impact on your cultivation of Buddha?" ”

Xuanzang said: "I have heard the story of the golden cicada told me by the master since I was a child, and if you want to talk about the influence, I have privately figured out the early understanding of the golden cicada bodhisattva, and I feel that it is correct. His Zen teachings cannot all be described as apostasy, so if you want to talk about influence, it is also a positive influence. ”

Wei Zheng looked at Xuanzang with a suspicious look in his eyes!

Xuanzang said: "Prime Minister rest assured, I am always vigilant, do not deviate from the right path in reading scriptures and comprehending Buddhism, don't repeat the old path of the Golden Cicada Bodhisattva and go astray into the devil's path." But the demons of the mind, for those who practice Buddhism, before they become Buddhas, will have in every stage of cultivation. If there is no inner demon on the path of cultivation, you will not be able to attain the fruit of the Tao, let alone become a Buddha. Only by destroying the demon of the heart can we achieve the fruit of the Dao, and there is no demon of the heart, and there is no fruit of the Dao. ”

Wei Zheng felt justified and nodded. Xuanzang's mouth is like a hanging river, and the two gradually communicate with each other, and unconsciously, the more they talk, the more speculative they become.

The two put their hearts in their hearts and talked about everything, Wei Zheng told Xuanzang that he was a man Cao Guan's interesting and difficult things, meritorious experience, Xuanzang also told Wei Zheng many metaphorical stories in Buddhism, Wei Zheng is not a person in Buddhism, after Xuanzang's simple storytelling, but also learned a lot of Zen principles, a long talk, Wei Zheng exceeded the ordinary master's understanding of Buddhism. The two went from daytime to late night, from late night to dawn the next day. Xuanzang wanted to go to the morning class, and Wei Zheng wanted to go to the morning court, so the two said goodbye.

As soon as Wei Zheng left, Xuanzang put on a brocade robe, held a nine-ring dragon staff, and wanted to go out to the altar of the Avatar Hall to do a morning class.

Xuanzang took out the bronze mirror, and in the mirror was his face, and gradually, the face gradually became smaller and farther away, and a full-body portrait of himself appeared in the mirror: wearing a brocade robe and holding a nine-ring dragon staff. In the blink of an eye, the brocade robe split in two, turning into a snow-white silky garment and two colorful wings.

"Ice silk and golden cicada feathers?" Xuanzang stared intently.

The material of the brocade robe, he had already heard King Tang and the leprosy old monk talk about it, it was woven from the ice silk on the Ice Demon Island in Beiju Luzhou and the golden cicada feathers on Wanwu Mountain, and now it seems that what the monk said is really true.

In the mirror, the ice silk coat slowly turned into a transparent blue ice silkworm, but what came out of its mouth was a snow-white silk thread, and the golden cicada feather coat turned into a huge golden cicada, which was the golden cicada's wings.

Golden cicada?

Xuanzang's heart shook, and he remembered the Golden Cicada Bodhisattva that he had told Wei Zheng about. Master Fa Ming said that the golden cicada Bodhisattva finally went mad and was destroyed by the Buddha, could it be that this golden cicada feather coat was taken from the wings of the golden cicada?

In surprise, under the wings of the golden cicada, the head of the golden cicada was conjured, and under the tail of the wings, the claws of the golden cicada also appeared, as if in an instant, the golden cicada feather coat became a golden cicada that covered the sky and the sun, its big as the sky, its wings like clouds, its body as the ground, and its head as a mountain.

Xuanzang exclaimed: There is such a big golden cicada in the world, is it a demon or the body of the legendary golden cicada Bodhisattva?

And what about the ice silkworm?

When I thought of the ice silkworm, the huge and boundless golden cicada swished smaller, the blue ice silkworm appeared in the middle of the mirror, the background was an endless ice field, the blue ice silkworm was extremely cute, the small mouth sizzled and swallowed the ice silk, and then the ice silkworm rolled on the ground, becoming a dusty girl dressed in blue clothes, she stood on the ice field, her face was beautiful, lonely as snow, quiet as ice, the entire ice field and the sky, as if because of her appearance and became pure and transparent.

The eyes of the Ice Silkworm Maiden, like the pure spring water, at a glance, all the demons, red dust, love and hatred, and red dust rolling, all became insignificant, not worth mentioning, and even the painstaking cultivation became childish and ridiculous. Her gaze is like the most holy Buddha light, sweeping you at a glance, and the seven emotions and six desires that plague people's hearts disappear.

Xuanzang grew up, and his mouth couldn't close at all.

He entered and exited the palace and became brothers with the Tang King, the beauties in the palace were like clouds, and they were all red dust skeletons in his eyes, but the beauty of this ice silkworm girl, pure as the most holy, purest and purest Buddha light, made him suddenly have a comprehension of letting go of his incomprehensible obsession, and the entanglement of where his parents' ghosts belonged to faded at the touch of that gaze.

The girl's gaze, without a trace, swept away Xuanzang's inner demons, purifying his body and mind, just like the results of reciting thousands of scriptures.

If there is anything in heaven and earth that is holy, pure, pure, and beautiful, it is the girl incarnated by this ice silkworm.

Xuanzang closed his eyes and felt that the muscles, skin, bones, and blood of his whole body were invisibly purified in the pure eyes of the girl. He felt that Shu Tai was extreme, and when he opened his eyes, he found that there were two people in the mirror, and the golden cicada had become a handsome and unparalleled beautiful man in the world, dressed in a colorful feather coat, standing side by side with the ice silkworm girl. Two peerless boys and girls hand in hand side by side, with affection, even the world has become eclipsed.

Xuanzang's heart shook suddenly, like a giant hammer hitting his heart, the temperament of the beautiful man with the golden cicada was a hundred times more handsome than himself, but that face was his own face.
