Chapter 68: Manju Sahua

The Buddha put the flower in his hand, and said with emotion: "In the previous life, you couldn't see each other, and after no return, you couldn't stay in love, the so-called division and union are just fate and fate, you have the curse of heaven, so that you are destined to end but not disperse, fate is not divided, I can't help you unravel this vicious spell, so I will take you to the other side, let you bloom all over the field."

On the way to the other side, the Buddha passed by the Santu River in the underworld, and accidentally wet his clothes by the river, and there was the red flower that the Buddha carried, and when the Buddha came to the other side to untie the flower wrapped in the clothes and looked at it again, he found that the fiery red flowers had become pure white, the Buddha pondered for a moment, and laughed loudly: great joy is not as good as great sorrow, it is better to forget than to remember, right and wrong, how can you distinguish it, good flowers, good flowers. The Buddha planted this flower on the other side and called it a mandala flower, and because it was on the other side, he called it the flower of the other side.

But the Buddha didn't know that he was on the Santu River, and all the red dripping of the flowers that had faded by the river water dropped all the red into the river, and he wailed all day long, which made people feel sad, and the Bodhisattva Jizo was very powerful, and when he learned that the mandala Hua had been born, he came to the river, took out a seed, and threw it into the river, and after a while, a flower that was more red and bright than before grew out of the water, and Jizo took it in his hand and sighed: You have to get out and be at ease, why do you want to leave this boundless hatred in the boundless hell of the already bitter sea? I will ask you to be a guide messenger and guide them to samsara, just remember your color, there is already a mandala on the other side, so let's call you Manju Sahua.

Since then, there have been two completely different flowers on the other side of the world, one grows on the other side and the other is born on the side of the Santu River. Forever and forever. (The above legend comes from the Internet, good search encyclopedia.) )

Hailing said lightly: "Nonsense, all of them are written by some wild histories. This Manzhu Sawa is happy with yin and damp, when I led the disciples of the Demon Realm to fight to the heavenly court, there were countless casualties, after the battle of gods and demons, those dead soldiers were covered with this Manzhu Sawa Flower, every autumn, it will bloom in full bloom to comfort the dead. ”

Shen Shou heard Hailing's tone casually, but there was a faint sense of displeasure, but she was an unintentional person, and she would not worry about the life and death of the demon world soldiers, and said lightly, "The book I read in the Haotian Tower, but the book is written like this. It's a pity that I'm blind and can't see this Manzhu Shahua in full bloom. After finishing speaking, regardless of whether Hailing was angry or not, he recited the "Lotus Sutra of the Wonderful Law" to himself: "Yunhe Mandala Hua? Yun He Manzhu Shahua Chi Tuan Hua. ”

Hailing said coldly, "People are ruthless, why is it here." ”

Be cautious and be a human being, don't know how to be flexible, and said to Mai Mang, "Life and death are fate, they are not born for me, nor are they dying for me, why should I be sentimental?" Hailing was also speechless by what she said, and she was already a little angry, but she still continued, "Foyun is greedy and hateful, it is for the four poisons, I don't know how many poisons are taken up by the Peacock Ming King?"

There was already anger in Hailing's eyes that couldn't be suppressed, "When I preached the scriptures and the Fa in the past, you didn't know where you were reincarnated, and now you dare to preach in front of me?"

Even if Shen Shou didn't know how to be flexible, she also knew that this Demon Venerable was angry, and she had no intention of provoking the Demon Venerable, so she said nonchalantly, "It's my rudeness." ”

This spirit girl of Haotian Tower, he has seen it from the first term to the current prudence. The first spirit girl was calm, the second was respectful, the third spirit girl was gentle, the fourth spirit girl was obedient, and the fifth spirit girl was forbearing, and she, the sixth, was so unruly, but she was only born for a day, and she quarreled with herself, which surprised Hailing. Hailing took her back to Lanling Palace, casually threw her to a few palace maids, and left her alone.

Three days later, early in the morning, Hailing went to Haotian Tower, this newborn spirit girl had limited abilities, and most of the work had to be done by herself. The talisman in this Haotian Pagoda will expire every thousand years, and at this time, the true souls of the Jizo King and the Lu Pressure Daojun in the tower will appear, and then the talisman will be redrawn. This is nothing to do, but the gossip map at the bottom of the tower, because of the failure of the talisman, will be displaced by the evil qi from the infernal abyss, and the bagua map at the bottom is displaced, and the gossip map on the seventeenth floor above will also be displaced, which will have a great impact on the formation of the entire Haotian Tower, so someone must suppress the Bagua map at this time. Previously, this work had been done by the spirit girl in Haotian Tower. But now, the previous spirit girl has become a feather, and the new spirit girl is just a child in the world, so she naturally can't take on this big responsibility. But fortunately, I only need to meditate on the gossip map in this tower for seven days, and if it takes too long, I really don't know how I will refuse to accept her.

As soon as Hailing entered the Haotian Tower, he saw Manzhu Sawa all over the ground, and such a sentence suddenly popped up in his mind: "The flowers on the other side bloom for a thousand years and fall for a thousand years, and the flowers and leaves will never meet." Love is not cause and effect, fate is destined for life and death. "I can't remember which book I saw it in. In the midst of the fiery Manju Sawa sat a little girl dressed in white, her eyes closed, her expression serene, and a smile on her lips. Hailing was also stunned when he saw Shen Shou. But after three days of not seeing her, she already looked like a five- or six-year-old girl, sitting in the flowers, holding a stone version of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" in her hand, and reading it with her hands.

She heard someone come in, and knew it was him, so she couldn't help but look up and smile, "You're here." ”

Acquaintance with Jun Chu is like an old friend.

Seeing her so pure, Hailing only felt that her heart was also very bright, and the quarrel between her and herself before seemed to be left behind.

He looked at the flowers everywhere, frowned, and said, "Why do you make this kind of flower around? This flower is beautiful, but it is not very lucky." In the "Notes of the Underworld", it is written that this red manzhu sawa is a flower that is voluntarily thrown into hell in the legend, and was sent back by the ghosts, but it still lingers on the Huangquan Road, and the ghosts can't bear it, so they agree to open it on this road, giving the souls who have left the human world a guide and comfort. It is generally believed to be a flower that only blooms on the banks of the Santu River in the underworld and on the other side of the Lethe River. Floral legends have magical powers that evoke memories of the deceased. It is known as the "Fire Road" because of its red fire, and it is also the only scenery and color on this long Huangquan Road. When the soul passes through the Lethe, it forgets all the things that were in life, and everything that was once left on the other side, and the deceased will step on the guidance of this flower to lead to the underworld and hell.

Shen Shou smiled and said, "This flower leads the world, isn't it like the king of Jizo who is not empty in hell and swears not to become a Buddha? ”

Hailing counted the flowers all over the ground, and suddenly thought of something, and frowned, "Where did you get this flower?"

Shen Shou still had an innocent smile, and said to Hailing with a smile, "I picked the graves of those demon servants who died in battle, where are the most flowers." ”
