Chapter 291: Bon Festival, Buddha's Golden Cicada

Shortly after Li Jing returned to the heavenly realm, he received an invitation from Western Buddhism one day, saying that the Buddha would hold an Obon festival on July 15, and that he would overtake the lonely souls and evil ghosts of the ten directions, and invited Li Tianwang to observe the ceremony.

On the fifteenth day of July, Li Jing called for a dress, took the two boys of Black Mountain and Jinchi with him, and set up auspicious clouds and flew towards the West Pole Heavenly Realm.

Seeing the Western Heaven Realm, he suddenly heard someone behind him say loudly: "Daoist friends ahead, please stay in Yunbu for a while!"

Li Jing heard this shout, so he stopped the clouds, turned around and looked back, but saw an immortal coming from the clouds in the distance. This person has a fishtail purple and gold crown, a crane without worry, a silk belt at the waist, a hemp foot on his feet, his hair is dyed like ink, his face is like a child, three locks of long hair are floating on his chest, and he is lightly brushed in his hands with silver silk and jade dust. The name of the fairy wind dao bone was very appropriate for this gentleman at that time.

When the man arrived in front of Li Jing, he saluted with a smile on his face, and said, "Fellow Daoist, the poor Taoist is the leader!"

Li Jing had already looked at the person who came, but with his current cultivation, he couldn't see the depth of this person at all. He didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "It's easy to say, fellow Daoist, I'm returning the courtesy." Dare to ask what you call Daoyou, this time you are here to participate in the Bon Festival of Buddhism?"

The man smiled and said: "The poor road is in the territory of Xiniu Hezhou in the world, and the Wuzhuang Temple of Wanshou Mountain is a scattered person, and the road number is Yuanzi. Please forgive the poor Dao for taking the liberty of speculating, Daoist friends are the Heavenly King of Tota Li?"

Li Jing was taken aback, and hurriedly met him again with the courtesy of a junior: "It turned out that he was in front of the same king in the world, Li Jing was so negligent, forgive his sins!"

This Zhen Yuanzi is a figure of the Sanqing generation, although he has not obtained the Heavenly Immortal Dao, but it is just a thin line. And because he is an ancient person, he is warm-hearted. He likes to promote the latter, and half of the scattered immortals in the world have been educated or favored by him. Most of them are honored by teachers and prestige. It is not under the power of your immortals.

Zhen Yuanzi twisted his hair and smiled: "I didn't expect that Li Tianwang would know the nickname of Poor Dao, and I am ashamed and ashamed." Poor Dao was invited by Buddhism to participate in the Bon Festival, only to see the back of Taoist friends from afar, guessing that you should be on the same road with Poor Dao, so you said hello and wanted to go with Taoist friends. ”

Li Jing hurriedly stretched out his hand and invited: "Li Jing is honored to be able to walk with fellow Daoists, please!"

The two of them put the clouds together and went to the western sky together. Although Zhenyuan's descendants are higher than Li Jing, they don't have the slightest shelf, and they talk to Li Jing along the way, and they get along with each other quite well.

Not long after arriving at the West Pole Heavenly Realm, at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, two disciples of Buddhism came to greet them. When Li Jing looked at it, he saw that one of them was still an old acquaintance Dingguang Xian, and walking with him was a white-clothed monk with a dusty appearance and a handsome spirit.

When Dingguang Xian saw Li Jing, he still looked calm, as if he had forgotten his old grudges. Very politely greeted him. Zhen Yuanzi and the white-clothed monk are old friends, and they are very affectionate to each other after meeting.

After their respective rituals were finished, Li Jing first introduced Zhen Yuanzi and Dingguang Xian, and then Zhen Yuanzi pointed to the white-clothed monk and said to Li Jing: "Fellow Daoist." This elder was an old friend of the poor Dao in his early years, and the Taoist name was the Golden Cicada, and he was later converted to Buddhism by the Buddha. Now he is the second disciple of the Buddha. ”

"Li Jing has seen Elder Jin Cicada. Li Jing greeted this golden cicada without moving, but his heart was full of emotion. Naturally, I thought of the Sanzang Master who rode a white horse, took three disciples, and traveled westward.

Jin Chanzi hurriedly returned the salute, and together with Dingguang Xian, invited Zhen Yuanzi and Li Jing to Lingshan. Along the way, but see the Qiao peak arrangement. The strange stones are uneven, there are strange flowers and plants under the cliff, and the purple mushroom is fragrant next to the winding path. The peach forest haunts the ape, the pine branch inhabits the white crane, the green luan is to the song and offers Rui, and the colorful phoenix double dance is auspicious.

Not long after arriving at the top of the mountain Da Lei Yin Temple, I saw the top of the gold tile and the agate paved with agate. In the Dharma Protector Hall, there are a number of Youposai and Youpoyi, and in front of the Futu Pagoda, there are two rows of monks and nuns.

Everyone passed through the three mountain gates, came to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and saw the Buddha sitting on a nine-rank lotus platform in the middle, the eight great bodhisattvas, the four great vajras, the five hundred arhats, the three thousand gods of the truth, the eleven great yao, and the eighteen garans, and the highness was lined up left and right. There were also invited heavenly immortals and gods to sit on the futon prepared in advance, and their eyes asked their noses, noses, mouths, and hearts, and no one made a noise.

After Jin Chanzi and Dingguang Immortal communicated, they invited Zhen Yuanzi and Li Jing to meet in the palace, but the Black Mountain and Jin Chi brought by Li Jing were not qualified to enter, so they could only wait outside the hall.

After Li Jing and Zhen Yuanzi entered the palace, they stepped forward together and saluted in front of Rulai.

Zhen Yuanzi is on the same level as the quasi-Daoist in his previous life, while Li Jing is not only backed by the three emperors and the four big trees of Kong Xuan, but his own cultivation has also reached the peak of the Yuan Shen, maybe when he will be able to further prove the position of the heavenly immortals. Therefore, Rulai did not dare to hold up in front of these two people, and immediately got up from the lotus platform to return the salute.

Zhen Yuanzi and Li Jing were the latest, and after the two of them sat down on the futon, Rulai began to preach the scriptures. But seeing that his tongue was bright and lotus, and his mouth was like a river, he only said that the sky was falling, and the golden lotus on the ground stopped.

When he was preaching the scriptures, wisps of golden light fused with mellow Buddha power escaped from his body, turning into little fireflies and floating outside the Daxiong Treasure Hall. The dense fireflies that seemed to be full of stars floated down the Lingshan Sacred Realm, and gently passed through the ban between the two worlds of heaven and man and drifted down to the world.

There are countless ownerless ghosts, hungry and cold ghosts who wander around because of their old grudges in previous lives, and many of them are fortunate to be nourished by a little firefly containing the power of Buddha, and in an instant, karma is gone, obsessions are dissolved, and they are freed from the tragic fate of wandering in the world to endure loneliness, hunger and cold, and devote themselves to reincarnation and rebirth.

"Good, good, no Amitabha!" Seeing this, the Lingshan Buddhas and the immortals and gods in the Daxiong Treasure Hall all admired the merits and mana of the Buddha, and recited the Buddha's name in unison.

Rulai smiled, looked around at the people in the hall, and slowly spoke: "The poor monk is on the right path in the world and establishes the Buddha Gate, creating the Mahayana Buddhism Sanzang." There is a collection of "Fa" to talk about the sky, a collection of "Treatises" to talk about the earth, and a collection of "Sutra" to save ghosts. There are a total of 35 parts of the three Tibets, 15,144 volumes, which are the scriptures of cultivation and the door of righteousness. It is rare for all the gods and immortals to come to us, and the poor monks want to study the scriptures with you, so please be right. ”

All the immortals and gods said in unison: "I wish to hear the Buddha's wonderful law!"

If you come, you should bring the subtle principles of the Three Tibetan Sutras together.

When everyone listened to it, it was really subtle and meaningful, and it was infinitely subtle, which confirmed their own cultivation path, and everyone felt greatly inspired, and they were quite enlightened, and they all listened to it as if they were drunk and infatuated.

As the Dharma was talking about the subtleties, there was a sudden sound of discordant snoring in the main hall. Although the snoring was quite slight, the audience was full of great supernatural powers, and they all heard this snoring clearly in their ears. (To be continued......)
