Chapter 177: How many people are in the small temple in the mountains, shaking the mountains and shocking the Dharma body!
There is a saying in the world, "If no one knows it, he must not do it unless he does it." ”
Since we are in the world, what we do and what others may not know, and ghosts and gods may not all see in their eyes, but heaven and earth know it, and no matter how perfect you cover it up, you can't escape it.
And under heaven and earth, if there is anyone who knows the most, there is only one person, that is, Shi Zixuan has dealt with it, the Venerable Diting in the Jiuhua Mountain Dojo.
This Venerable One, under the knowledge and supernatural powers, has his own incredible power, if you want to inquire about something, or find people and things, and find the truth, you must be right!
But this Venerable is not in the world, so it is naturally impossible for Shi Zixuan to go to the Netherworld Shijie to ask the Venerable to listen to him. After all, he is not a real person of Miaoxing, and this time he has no Chiyang Yuan Mingyi, and there is no guide from the usher, and he can't find the way to the netherworld.
So what to do?
Shi Zixuan can only use a stupid method to go to the temple and find the image of the Venerable Diting, and he must have it incarnate on it.
However, the Jizo King Bodhisattva is in charge of the Netherworld Shijie, and although the world admires his great wishes, no one wants to go to the Netherworld Shijie that the Bodhisattva has evolved after his death, and he is not even willing to talk about it. Therefore, there are many people who worship the door gods, save the suffering Bodhisattva, and save the suffering Tianzun, but there are very few people who worship the Jizo King Bodhisattva.
But eight characters, all beings are happy to live, and all beings are afraid of death.
Shi Zixuan and Zhang Xiao searched all the monasteries in the territory of Lingyang Mansion, but there were few places with Dizang Temple. The temple has a Jizo hall, but the Buddha statue has not been opened, and the Bodhisattva and Diting have not received incense here.
In desperation, Shi Zixuan and Zhang Xiao went to Xuzhou, and finally found a small temple in a small mountain called Lianhua Mountain. The incense here is not prosperous, and there are not many monks who place orders to practice here, only one old monk with six disciples is here to practice.
When Shi Zixuan and Zhang Xiaoxun came to this temple, they couldn't believe it. This temple is also too miserable. Even if the incense is not prosperous, it will not be like this.
Entering the door, the old monk of the abbot of this temple, waited in front of the door early, saw the two of them walking in, and came forward to salute and said: "The old monk has a feeling that there will be distinguished guests coming to the door today, and sure enough." The two Taoist friends were polite. ”
Shi Zixuan and Zhang Xiao were slightly surprised, this monk is not simple. I had already felt that the two of them would come, and it was really a small temple in the mountains. The heart is pure and quiet, and everything is reflected in the heart.
The two hurriedly returned the salute, and Shi Zixuan said, "Master." We are here today to ask for something, and I would like to ask the master to make it easier. ”
The old monk smiled and said: "It is convenient for others to be convenient for yourself." I don't know what you mean?"
"This Zhang Daoyou and I want to come and worship the Bodhisattva. Shi Zixuan said very politely.
As soon as his voice fell, several disciples behind the old monk had strange looks on their faces. A relatively young monk couldn't help but say, "Aren't you Taoist priests, why do you still come to worship the Bodhisattva?"
Shi Zixuan smiled and said, "Little master." When you enter the temple through the door, you can't be rude. Isn't it? When you go to the Taoist temple as a guest, do you want to pay homage to the Taoist ancestor and say hello?"
The little monk laughed twice, and then didn't say anything more. The old monk said: "Daoist friends have a heart, please come with me." ”
After the old monk finished speaking, he led the way and led the two into the main hall.
This temple is a nameless temple. There is only one Jizo Temple. It is not as spacious and bright as in the world's great temples. There is only one Jizo King Bodhisattva holding a Zen staff, a bronze statue standing, and a rui beast lying beside him. It is His Holiness the Truthful Hearing.
Shi Zixuan raised his eyes and looked at it, and he had a feeling in his heart.
The naked eye can't see the subtlety, but it is naturally felt in the primordial spirit. This bodhisattva and the image of the truth have indeed been enlightened.
Shi Zixuan and Zhang Xiao bowed three times.
Shi Zixuan turned to the old monk and said, "Master, I have something to ask Venerable Diting, can you please take a break from the masters?"
Shi Zixuan said very politely, but the disciples who followed behind the old monk were a little unhappy.
If you come to worship the Bodhisattva, why do you still drive us out? This monastery is a place for us to practice, and it's not yours, so if you drive us out, we'll leave?
There are also monks who are skeptical of Shi Zixuan's words. You said that if you have something to ask Your Holiness, can you invite him if you want to?
We are here every day, chanting sutras and doing homework, and we have never seen the Bodhisattva and the Venerable Manifestation of the Spirit, do you two Taoist priests have this ability?
But when the old monk heard this, he nodded and said, "The disciples are undecided, and it is indeed not easy to observe the Fa. Pure wisdom, pure emptiness, pure enlightenment, go out first, close the door of the temple, and do not come in. ”
The disciples did not understand the abbot's intentions, but when the abbot spoke, they had no choice but to leave.
But the old monk did not leave, and there was a young monk who did not leave either.
Shi Zixuan arched his hand and said: "Shicai hasn't asked for the names of the two masters yet, so I don't know how to call them." ”
The old monk smiled and said, "Poor monk, this is my disciple Jingming." ”
Shi Zixuan and Zhang Xiaoli hurriedly saluted and reported their names.
Shi Zixuan said: "Master, I once had a relationship with Venerable Diting. Now I have something to see him. But the Netherworld Shijie is difficult to enter, and there is no way, so we can only come here and ask His Holiness to show up. ”
The old monk nodded and said, "Buddhism has always been convenient for people. Fellow Daoists, please feel free, just don't alarm the Bodhisattva. The small temple has been in disrepair for a long time, but I am afraid that it will not be able to withstand the toss. ”
"Master, don't worry. The Bodhisattva's Dharmakaya statue will never be disturbed. ”
Shi Zixuan didn't expect this old monk to be so easy to speak, so he was overjoyed and hurriedly promised.
The two of them want to use the word "surprise"?
Because I want to see His Holiness, I don't pray a few times in front of his statue, and then I can immediately appear and see him. This has nothing to do with whether Di Ting should or shouldn't be, but Shi Zi Xuan is not special than others, nor is he stronger than ordinary people's minds, and there is no difference in Di Ting's ears.
Therefore, if Shi Zixuan wants to make the Venerable Diting immediately perceive that he is "coming", there can only be a stupid way, and that is to cast a spell to shake the Dharma body of Diting!
With the approval of the old monk, Shi Zixuan immediately cast a spell, pinched the seal with his hand, and played a seal against the statue of the Bodhisattva beside him.
Netherworld shijie, in the Jiuhua Mountain Dojo.
Di Ting was lying in front of the scripture case, dozing off, as if he was awake but not awake. Suddenly, there seemed to be a sound in my ears, messy and messy, so as not to make trouble.
Di Ting didn't care, fanned his ears, and ignored it.
But at this moment, suddenly a loud sound came, and the shocked Diting's ears tingled for a while: "Diting Venerable." Poor Daoist Master Zixuan, please see me if you have something, and please show up. ”
Di Ting suddenly struck a clever look, and then screamed "oops" and scolded: "Whoever touches my Dharma Body and doesn't say hello is really not a son of man...... Hey, it's that stinky boy? I haven't seen him for a long time, and I'm good at it. ”
"Listen, what's the matter?"
On the lotus platform, no one is without a face, only listening to the voice of the Bodhisattva.
Di Ting said: "The stinky boy who came to Jiuhua Mountain last time to ask to see the Bodhisattva wants to see me for something. ”
The Bodhisattva said, "Oh, he actually asked you to see you, so do you see it?"
Di Ting's eyes rolled, and he smiled: "No see, no see, last time I saved this kid's life, who knew that this kid would forget me when he turned around, every New Year's holiday, melons and fruits don't give me one, this time you want to see me, and you also move my Dharma body, no, no." ”
The Bodhisattva chuckled and said, "What are you selling in front of me? You have long wanted to go to the world to play, but you are hindered by the precepts and do not dare to go to the mortal world privately. How could I not know?"
Di listened to the old man's face turned red, and he complained a little: "Bodhisattva, you already know my heart, why do you still look at me so closely? You incarnate as tens of millions and go into the world to play, but I am alone at home, which is not fair." ”
The Bodhisattva smiled and said, "I don't let you go into the mortal world, it makes sense." But now that the opportunity has come, I won't stop you. Since the patriarch disciple begged you to see him, it would be okay for you to go and see him. If you want to stay on earth, just stay with him. ”
When Di heard this, he was overjoyed at first, but then looked at the Bodhisattva suspiciously and said, "Bodhisattva, how can I hear that you are going to give me away? There is a conspiracy here." ”
The Bodhisattva said helplessly: "What a conspiracy, what a witty word." You can go if you want, and you won't go if you don't want to. Whatever you want. ”
After speaking, the Bodhisattva was silent.
Di Ting's heart was happy, he licked his lips, and said to himself: "You don't care about me." I went to play, this time it's your home. ”
After saying that, he walked out of the Netherworld Hall.
In front of the door, a little boy saw him and said in surprise: "Venerable, leave in a hurry, where are you going?"
Di Ting said with a smile: "The Bodhisattva remembers that I have worked hard and made great achievements, and let me go to the world to play." ”
The boy was rather envious and said, "Congratulations to His Holiness." It is said that the prosperity of the world is better than the solemn dojo, and I really want to go, can you take me with you?"
Di Ting put on a straight face and said: "What do you want to do with your heart? Is the world so easy to go? Think about how long it has been since the boy who held the scriptures in front of you, and he has not come back yet, do you want to learn from him?"
When the boy heard this, he immediately made a bitter gourd face.
Di Tingyu said earnestly: "Take good care of your home and practice well." When the practice is there, it's not too late to go. ”
After listening to this, Di patted his buttocks, and left Jiuhua Mountain, ignoring the boy's resentful gaze.
Nameless Temple, in the Jizo Temple.
Shizi Xuan shook the statue of the truth, and the monks in the temple only felt that the earth was shaken, and they couldn't stand steadily.
This nameless temple is really too dilapidated, this mountain shakes the ground, the plaque in front of the Jizo Hall has fallen, broken in half, and the rubble on the wall falls, which is very scary.
The monk, who was already a little dissatisfied with Shi Zixuan, couldn't help but say angrily when he saw this: "This person, is this here to worship the Bodhisattva or to demolish the temple?
Several monks, at this time, couldn't care about the orders of the old monk abbot, and couldn't help but push the door in, wanting to have a reason with Shizi Xuan. (To be continued......)
