Chapter 3 The Entrustment in the Hall of Goddess of Mercy
That Wang Boying was out of control for a moment before he resorted to such a cruel move, but when he saw Yu Fei'er in danger, he immediately remembered what his master told him when he left. I secretly screamed in my heart: "It's not good! I forgot Master's advice in a moment, I really want to hurt Yu Fei'er here, how should I explain to Master when he comes back?" Thinking of this, Wang Bo began to regret his recklessness, but now it was too late to stop, and the black python at this time suddenly turned back into black flames in Yu Fei'er's chest and crashed into Yu Fei'er's chest.
The black flame immediately flashed a blue light after slamming into Yu Fei'er's chest, and then emitted a puff of black smoke that enveloped Yu Fei'er's body in it. As the black smoke slowly dissipated, Yu Fei'er's figure did not appear in front of him, only seeing a pile of dust scattered on the ground where Yu Fei'er was standing before. "Could it be that Yu Fei'er has been burned to ashes by this spell of mine? I didn't expect this little Taoist priest of Putuo Mountain to be so can't help fighting, and now I have caused a big disaster. ”
When Wang Bo was thinking about how to explain to his master in his heart, Yu Fei'er's voice suddenly came from above his head: "What a vicious spell, if I hadn't reacted in time, Yu Fei'er's little life would have been ruined in your hands." Since you're so vicious, then I'm not welcome, and see how I take you down. Forbidden Hoop Spell!" When Yu Fei'er recited a few incantations from his mouth, a huge golden hoop instantly appeared above Wang Bo's head. At this time, Wang Bo had not yet figured out why Yu Fei'er suddenly appeared above his head, and a golden light had already scattered from the golden hoop above his head, enveloping his whole body in it.
"Not good!" Wang Bo shouted, only to see the golden pillar of light shot out of the golden hoop spin rapidly, and at the same time rolled his body into the sky. Wang Bo struggled hard to control his body, but this struggle was in vain, and he saw that Wang Bo's body was getting farther and farther away from the ground.
So, how did Yu Fei'er dodge the spell cast by Wang Bo? Why did he suddenly appear above Wang Bo's head? It turned out that after Yu Fei'er was bound by a giant python turned into black flames, he immediately used the earth escape technique to turn into a fake body of his own with the soil under his feet, and his real body escaped from the giant python's binding through the earth escape. Therefore, the black flames were only the fake body that Yu Fei'er had made out of the dirt, no wonder Wang Bo saw a pile of dust scattered on the ground where Yu Fei'er was standing.
After Yu Fei'er escaped into the earth, she thought to herself: "This Wang Bo is so vicious, he must not be a good person, I must give him some color." By the way, why don't I take this opportunity to try this treasure in my sleeve, Master has never used it since he gave it to me, and I don't know how powerful it is?" Thinking of this, Yu Fei'er quickly jumped out of the ground, then took out a golden hoop from his sleeve and threw it at Wang Bo, while reciting the forbidden hoop spell in his mouth.
This golden hoop is really powerful, and Wang Bo is about to be sucked into it by the golden hoop. At this time, I heard the voice of the Puci Taoist coming: "Disciple, don't be rude." Immediately after that, the figure of Puci Daoist suddenly appeared under the golden hoop. As the Puci Daoist waved the dust in his hand at the golden hoop in the sky, the golden hoop in the sky immediately changed back to its original form and returned to the hand of the Dao Chief.
When the golden hoop returned to its original shape, the golden pillar of light in mid-air immediately dispersed, and Wang Bo's body immediately fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string. The tall man in black who had returned with the Puci Daoist hurriedly took off the hat on his head and threw it into the air, catching Wang Bo, who was falling rapidly, and sending him back to the ground.
Wang Bo returned to the ground for a long time before he came back to his senses a little, he stood up and said to the tall man in black: "Thank you Master for coming to the rescue, that Yu Fei'er is really hateful, he actually teased the apprentice, and the master will definitely make the decision for the apprentice." ”
At this time, Wang Bo's master had revealed his true face, he should be in his forties, except for the long pointed and slender ears like Wang Bo, his appearance was no different from that of ordinary people. I saw the tall man in black reprimanding Wang Bo: "When the teacher was leaving, I warned you not to make trouble, but you forgot everything." Now that I have suffered and are still obsessed, I knew that this was the case, and I wouldn't have saved you just now. ”
Wang Bo knew that the master was really angry this time, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Master, don't be angry, the disciple knows that he is wrong." ”
"What did you tell you before? My teacher has always warned you that you must be cautious in everything you encounter, and you must not fight for strength and ruthlessness, and strive for the length of a while. If it hadn't been for Daoist Puci to save you in time today, you would have been sucked in by that golden hoop. Don't underestimate the golden hoop, it is the treasure of Putuo Mountain, once it is sucked in, it will end up with a thousand gods destroyed. Disciple, why don't you go and apologize to the Taoist chief? ”
Puci Daoist hurriedly stood up and said: "Don't blame your apprentice anymore, it's all my apprentice who has not fulfilled the friendship of the landlord." I think he has been practicing in Putuo Mountain for fifteen years, but he can't stop the hatred in his heart every day, let alone the benefactor's apprentice. When it comes to making amends, it should be me, the master, who makes amends to the donor. Speaking of this, Puci Daoist turned around and glared at Yu Fei'er angrily, and then loudly accused: "Criminal, how did you tell you when I gave you the golden hoop for my teacher? The golden hoop is my Guanyin master's unique magic weapon, and it can only be used when it is related to the life and death of my Putuo Mountain, how can you forget it completely? I think this golden hoop can no longer be handed over to you. You will give me to the apse to think about it, and I will dispose of you after the teacher sends these two donors away. ”
At this time, Yu Fei'er was so frightened that he trembled, where had he seen the master make such a big fire, knowing that this time the disaster was too big, he hurriedly lowered his head and walked to the apse to think about the past.
After Yu Fei'er left, Daoist Puci instructed a Taoist boy beside him to take a new hat from the temple and give it to Wang Bo. After the master and apprentice put the hat back on, Puci led the two out of the Guanyin Temple and headed towards the ferry on the island.
There was no delay along the way, and the Puci Daoist led the two to the southernmost ferry port of Putuo Mountain. Before leaving, the middle-aged man asked the Puci Taoist softly: "Daoist, that little Taoist priest just now is the Yu Fei'er that the Bodhisattva talked about, I didn't expect him to grow so big in a flash." I see that although he is young, his cultivation has been able to control the leopard, which can be seen, but he still lacks some experience, if he trains more in the future, he will become a great weapon, no wonder the Bodhisattva is extremely important to him, and it is bound to keep him away from this disaster. I can understand the Bodhisattva's intentions, after all, there are still many things to be done in the future for young people like him to create. ”
"The donor has a good reputation, my disciple has been cultivating in Putuo Mountain since he was a child, although he has achieved a small success, but his foundation and cultivation are still shallow, and he does need to continue to hone his training, this time the Bodhisattva let him go down the mountain, I think his intention is also this. Puci replied.
The middle-aged man nodded and continued: "Wait until he goes out for a walk and then comes back, I think he will definitely make your master look the other way." Dao Chief, please stay, let's leave it at that. I will definitely wait for the arrival of your apprentice in Bianliang, Kyoto, and I will leave all the entrusted matters to you. ”
"Don't worry, this entrusted thing is also a matter within the Putuo Mountain, and I will go all out in Putuo Mountain, so please get on the boat." ”
The master and apprentice got on the boat and left Putuo Mountain. After seeing the boat go away, the people of Puci returned to the temple behind the temple, and then meditated in the main hall.
It was nearly evening, and the pilgrims who went to Putuo Mountain to worship incense had already gone back at this time, and Putuo Mountain had entered a quiet and peaceful place. With the "when...... When the ......" bell rang a few times, the main gate of the temple that refused to go to the temple slowly closed, and then the sound of monks chanting came from the temple that refused to go to the temple, and it must be the monks doing their evening homework.
Puci Daoist slowly opened his eyes and said to a Taoist boy beside him: "Come, go to the apse and call Yu Fei'er, who is thinking about it, to come and see me." ”
Dao Tong answered, "Yes, Master." ”
Not long after the boy went out, he came in from outside the main hall with Yu Fei'er. Yu Fei'er saw that the master was sitting cross-legged in the hall, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted. Puci Daoren's eyes were closed and he didn't pay attention to him, and Yu Fei'er didn't dare to get up. In this way, Yu Fei'er didn't know how long he had been kneeling, and then he saw that Pu Ci Dao opened his eyes, and after glancing at Yu Fei'er in front of him, he said slowly: "Fei'er, you have been here in Putuo Mountain for more than 16 years, you must be very curious to know your life experience, right? Yu Fei'er, your parents are from Suzhou, you were born less than half a month ago suddenly suffered from a serious illness, your parents couldn't bear to see you dying after you died, so they put you in a bamboo basket and abandoned you in a lake outside the city. On this day, Master Guanyin happened to pass through this place, and inadvertently found you crying in the lake, so he took you to Putuo Mountain to be taken care of by the teacher. In order to cure you, the teacher crushed the lotus root that grows in the lotus pond of Putuo Mountain into juice and mixed it with the morning dew on the bamboo leaves of the purple bamboo forest in the Guanyin Hall and gave it to you. After 7749 days and 9981 reincarnations, you are finally reborn and can no longer be tormented by human diseases. In the next ten years, I carefully taught you Taoist immortal arts, and at the same time, I did not object to your practice of Buddhist Zen, thinking that you could realize the essence of Buddhism and Taoism, cast the heart of Vajra and cross the mortal dust. Now it seems that you still have six unfinished roots, and the dust is not over, in vain, you will go down the mountain and go out of the island tomorrow. You have to remember that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, to read countless people, to read countless people, and to show the way to a famous teacher, and to guide the way by a famous teacher, it is better to understand it yourself, and the road ahead depends on your own. ”
As soon as Yu Fei'er heard that Master's words were to drive herself down the mountain, she hurriedly cried and begged for mercy: "Master, don't be angry, Fei'er already knows that she is wrong, Master, although you punish Fei'er, I just beg Master not to drive Fei'er down the mountain." ”
"Fei'er, Master is not trying to drive you down the mountain, but to let you go outside to hone your skills, which is also what the Bodhisattva means. Now you get up and go with your teacher to the Guanyin Hall in the north, and the Bodhisattva has an important matter to say to you face to face. After speaking, Puci Daoist took Yu Fei'er out of the main hall and headed towards the Guanyin Hall to the north.
By the moonlight in the sky, Yu Fei'er followed the master to the beach between the temple and the Guanyin hall. Puci Daoist took Yu Fei'er to a stone turtle on the beach, and then raised the dust in his hand and tapped at the top of the stone **, and the stone turtle slowly opened its eyes. Puci Daoist immediately motioned for Yu Fei'er to stand on the back of the stone turtle, and then stood up himself. After the master and apprentice stood firmly on the back of the stone turtle, the stone turtle got up and slowly swam towards the other side of the beach. After the stone turtle swam to the opposite bank, the two jumped off the turtle's back and went ashore, and Yu Fei'er found that there was also a stone turtle in the north, and it seemed that it was exactly the same pair as the stone turtle he was riding.
The master and apprentice walked through the purple bamboo forest and came to the front of the Guanyin Palace. Although there are a few candles lit in the Guanyin Temple, the light in the hall is still very dim, and it is impossible to see what is in the hall when standing outside the hall.
Puci Taoist motioned for Yu Fei'er to enter the Guanyin Hall alone, and he waited for Yu Fei'er to come out outside the Guanyin Palace.
After Yu Fei'er entered the Guanyin Palace, he didn't dare to look around, and reverently walked to a statue of Guanyin in the hall and knelt down, and said: "Disciple Yu Fei'er meets Guanyin Bodhisattva." ”
A voice immediately came from behind the statue of Guanyin: "Yu Fei'er, I have called you here today because of a matter of entrustment, after you leave Putuo Mountain tomorrow, you go to Longhu Mountain in the southwest direction to send me a letter to Zhang Tianshi, the head of the Zhengyi Sect, in the letter, I temporarily borrow from the Heavenly Master Zhang the treasure of their Zhengyi Sect, the Yin and Yang Wuji Bagua Mirror. Let my disciple hand over this letter to you now. After speaking, a Taoist boy walked out from behind the prayer flag.
Although the lights in the Guanyin Hall were dim, Yu Fei'er could still see her appearance clearly in the dim light. This Daotong is handsome, his skin is as clear as jade, there is a pair of clear eyes hidden under the curved willow eyebrows, his long black hair is tied with a blue lotus leaf scarf, and he is wearing a blue robe, and he looks almost fifteen or sixteen years old. The boy handed a letter in his hand to Yu Fei'er and immediately walked back behind the prayer flag.
When the boy returned to the back of the prayer flag, the Bodhisattva's voice sounded again: "Yu Fei'er, after you go back, your master Puci Daoist will hand you a brocade box, which contains a bronze Guanyin Buddha statue. In case you encounter something critical after you go down the mountain, this statue of Guanyin will help you turn evil into good fortune, but remember, you must not open this brocade box without permission, otherwise it will not work at the moment of life and death. ”
Yu Fei'er hurriedly responded: "The disciple must keep in mind the Bodhisattva's instructions, and never dare to open the brocade box without authorization." However, the disciple didn't understand in his heart, why did the Bodhisattva let the disciple borrow the treasure of the Dragon and Tiger Mountain, and what should the disciple do next after borrowing the treasure again?"
As soon as Yu Fei'er's question came out, he heard the voice behind the Guanyin statue and reprimanded him sternly: "Hugh asks more." Yu Fei'er, I know that you are curious by nature and like to get to the bottom of everything, and to be honest, this is indeed your strength, but sometimes, such attachment will only cause you trouble. After you borrow the Yin and Yang Wuji Bagua Mirror from Zhang Tianshi, you only need to take this mirror to the post station next to the Daxiangguo Temple in Bianliang, Kyoto, and when you get there, someone will naturally come to meet you. As for the usefulness of this treasure, I think you'll know it when you get there. The road from Longhu Mountain to Bianliang in Kyoto is long, and Yu Fei'er will definitely encounter all kinds of difficulties and obstacles along the way with this treasure of the Zhengyi Sect, so you must be more careful. If there is any injustice along the way, you must try your best to resolve it, do not forget the purpose of compassion and purification of all sentient beings in Putuo Mountain, but when you encounter some things involving the majesty of the royal family, you had better avoid its edge and act in a roundabout way, so as not to fall into the disaster of war in my Putuo Mountain. Finally, you must keep in mind that although cultivators can see the heavens and see the rise and fall, they must not go against the heavens and turn the world upside down, otherwise they will be punished by heaven and end up with a god-like end. You have to remember what I said, and now you can go back with your master. ”
"The disciple respectfully follows the Bodhisattva's teachings. Yu Fei'er bent her body and slowly exited the Guanyin Temple, and then left the Guanyin Hall with the Puci Taoist.
Just as Yu Fei'er slowly withdrew from the Guanyin Temple, the Taoist boy behind the prayer flag walked out again, looked at the backs of the master and apprentice gradually drifting apart, and said to himself: "I really hope that the Bodhisattva's worries are superfluous, is this catastrophe in the Three Realms really unavoidable? Bodhisattva, where are you now, is it the right choice for us to let Yu Fei'er leave Putuo Mountain? Bodhisattva, please give me instructions." Just as Xiao Daotong was talking to himself, a strong wind suddenly blew outside the Guanyin Temple, and thunder and lightning were mixed in an instant. With a thunderclap resounding through the heavens and the earth, the rain immediately fell from the sky.
At this time, the white jade Guanyin stone statue behind the Guanyin Hall was flickering in the lightning, and the continuous rain flowed rapidly down between the nose bridge of the Guanyin stone statue, as if Guanyin Bodhisattva was constantly shedding tears......
