Chapter 37: King Jizo
Xuan Che walked out of the Nine Heavens and went straight to the Spirit Mountain. A few days ago, the Buddha said that the Fengyuan Secret Realm failed to place the Soul Suppression Stone, and several Bodhisattvas were injured, so she wanted to go and take a look. After all, if she relied on her own strength to suppress her annoyance, she was afraid that she would not last long. After being washed in the lotus pond of Luojia Mountain, that annay became even more difficult to control. I usually suppressed my annoyance, and it took me three days at most, but this time, it took me half a month. In the past half a month, I had no perception of the outside world at all, as if I was in a coma. Now it seems that it will be more and more difficult to suppress anamy in the future, if Feng Yuan can't refine it for a long time, I'm afraid that sooner or later he will go mad and become a puppet manipulated by annoyance. Xuan Che sighed, he thought that if he accepted an apprentice, he would be able to stop asking about the world and be a shopkeeper, but now it seems that it is still far away.
Before she went to Luojia Mountain, she thought that everything was good. Now, she felt as if everything was back to square one. It's even more unbearable than ever.
The Western Spirit Mountain he saw was getting closer and closer, and Xuan Che also buried thousands of thoughts in his heart. After all, the Western Heaven Secret Realm Feng Yuan has not yet been cultivated, and he has such a sad face, he is afraid that a few Bodhisattvas will be annoyed.
When Xuan Che arrived at Lingshan, he came down from the clouds, and there was an enchantment around Lingshan, whether it was a bird or a cloud, he couldn't go over, he could only walk up the mountain.
Compared with more than 3,000 years ago, the spiritual mountain that I saw also withered. In the past, Zangyue took himself to visit the three rivers and five mountains, heaven and earth, and went everywhere. At that time, Lingshan was the first of the mountains of Buddhism, and even Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea could only rank second. It was the last heyday of the Antiquity era, and it can be regarded as the last dynasty. And now, the glory of the ancient era is gradually passing, and the aura brought by the founding spirit to open the world is also gradually dissipating. And between heaven and earth, the annoyance generated by gods, men and demons is growing extremely much. One day, the aversion will surpass the aura of all things, and then it will be the end of the ancient era. All things in heaven and earth were burned with disgust, and then heaven and earth returned to the state of chaos at the beginning, which was the beginning of the Middle Ages.
The Buddha and himself have been doing everything in their power to find ways to suppress annoyance. But they all know each other, they are disgusted, and they stand on the opposite side of all things, but they are an inseparable whole. From the time when the Father God created the Yuan Spirit was still in chaos, there was already a faint anacity around him, and the anemia was like a person's shadow in the sun, which would never disappear or decrease, but would only become clearer and stronger as the sun became more and more abundant. At dusk, you see that there is a blur behind you, and you think that you have escaped it, but you do not know that the only thing that can hide the shadow is the night. In the current ancient times, it is already the twilight of the night, and he and the Buddha are like insignificant lights in the middle of the night, trying their best to give people the illusion that the night will not come.
But will night come?
Yes!
It's just a little bit late.
The Buddha was so badly injured in Luojia Mountain half a month ago, and now I don't know if he has recovered or not. Xuan Che went up to Deling Mountain, saw the mountains full of clouds, and suddenly felt a sadness in his heart. How long can the smoke of this spiritual mountain be pure?
When they arrived at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, they had already meditated Arhats coming forward to greet them. Xuan Che looked at him as if he had been waiting here, thinking that the Buddha expected her to come. The meditation arhat belongs to one of the eighteen arhats, and he always meditates and participates in meditation on weekdays, so it is called meditation arhats. Xuan Che knew that he was silent, so he took the initiative to ask, "When will the Buddha return to Lingshan?"
Sitting quietly as the Arhat listened, she asked, and said softly, "Amitabha." Then he continued, "The Buddha was brought back to Lingshan by King Jizo half a month ago. ”
Xuan Che knows that people in Buddhism take the defense of men and women very seriously, although he has been saying that all beings are equal, but most people who devote themselves to worshiping Buddha will deliberately keep a distance from women, just like this meditating Arhat, Xuan Che does not ask, he will never say a word, even if Xuan Che asks, he will not say a word more. Instead of asking him about the evil he asked, it was better to go to the king of Jizo and ask for clarification. It just so happened that the matter of the Wheel King Yue Luo had been in her heart, and today she happened to find the King of Jizo to solve her doubts.
When they arrived at the gate of Leiyin Temple, the mount of King Jizo was already waiting at the door. Seeing that Xuan Che was brought up by the meditation Arhat, he stepped forward and said to the meditation Arhat, "The Bodhisattva asked Tianjizi to go to the Dharma Academy first, and asked the Arhat to go to the Buddha to report on his behalf." ”
The meditating Arhat nodded slightly, and then recited again, "Amitabha, that's fine." And he left.
After meditating on the Arhat's departure, Di Ting folded his hands and said to Xuan Che, "Tianjizi, please come here." Then he turned and led the way. The original body of Di Ting is a white dog, because the Jizo method is based on filial piety, and the dog is loyal, just like the lion of Manjushri shows wisdom, and the white elephant of Puxian shows the great line, and the Di Zang Di Ting's loyalty is not the same. Because Di Ting is a beast, he naturally doesn't pay so much attention to the defense of men and women. As he walked, he smiled and said to Xuan Che, "The Bodhisattva of the Earth Treasure just chanted, saying that you should come, and sure enough, in less than a quarter of an hour, I followed you." ”
Xuan Che said, "The King of the Earth Bodhisattva made a special trip to ask you to wait for me?"
Di Ting smiled and said, "Yes, the Bodhisattva asked me to pick you up at the bottom of the mountain, but I never thought that you had been picked up by the meditation arhats. ”
Xuan Che thought that the King of Jizo was looking for her, most of which had something to do with the affairs of the underworld, so he no longer asked Di Ting, but only waited for the meeting to meet and then asked him in person.
In the blink of an eye, he had arrived at the gate of the Dharma Academy, and Di heard a loud shout outside, "Master, Tianjizi is here." ”
Listen to a peaceful voice inside the door, "Don't tell me, please let her in." ”
When Xuan Che heard this, he knew that he was waiting for him, so he was no longer polite, and pushed the door in directly. This Dharma Academy, just a larger meditation room, this Dharma Academy is the place where the Bodhidharma Patriarch practiced meditation and martial arts, the Bodhi Patriarch later lived in seclusion overseas, and now the King of the Earth temporarily lives here. Xuan Che still met the King of Jizo more than 3,000 years ago, when Venerable Kaye went to Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea to give lectures, and the King of Jizo, who had been living in the underworld, also went. Xuan Che had glanced at him in the crowd, and he couldn't remember his appearance for a long time, only that he remembered that it was a kind old man. Seeing him again this time, but there are some discrepancies in memory, the Jizo King Bodhisattva is named because he is "patient and immovable, like the earth, quiet and deep, like a secret treasure". According to the Buddhist scriptures, Jizo Bodhisattva has rescued his mother who was suffering in hell several times in his past lives, and has repeatedly vowed to save sentient beings, especially those in hell, for a long time. The four bodhisattvas under the Buddha's seat, Manjushri, Fuxian, Guanyin, and the king of Jizo, only the king of Jizo is alone in the underworld. When he entered the underworld, he once said, "If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell", the Buddha is also famous all over the world. Xuan Che admired the mastery of Manjushri Bodhisattva, Puxian Bodhisattva, and Guanyin Bodhisattva, but she admired the righteousness of King Jizo even more. Anyone can reason, but there are very few who are willing to take the lead.
