Chapter 239, Wuxiang Kongmen welcomes Dizang, and the yellow dragon on the banks of the Lu Zu River

After Chu Ji left Jiulin Zen Temple, the abbot of the temple was another eminent monk named Wuxiang. This man's family's surname is Jin. It is said that he was born in the royal family of Silla County, Datang. Wuxiang was the abbot of Jiulin Zen Temple for more than ten years. Recently, every Chu Jizhao was about to enter Shu. Jiulin Zen Temple needs a new abbot.

At this time, Zen Master Wuxiang had a "dream". In the dream, a Bodhisattva gave him a nine-ring tin staff and said that a great Buddhist master would come to Wuzhou to prepare for the welcome. After Wuxiang opened his eyes, there was a nine-ring tin staff in the meditation room. According to the monk who had seen this tin staff, this thing was the magic weapon that Xuanzang held when he traveled west to seek scriptures, and the news had already spread.

"I see the weather in Wuzhou. Today, the monk will enter the city, and your opportunity has come." Qingfeng stood by the river, looked up at the direction of Wuzhou and said.

Mei Zhenyi: "Which monk is it? Does the fairy boy already know?"

Qingfeng: "I know the origin, but who he will be in this life will be? Only when he sees it will he know."

The two were talking, and a monk walked along the river bank, wearing a brilliant cassock with a yellow background and red pattern, with a solemn appearance and a solemn expression. He walked up to them and sang a promise to salute: "Please ask the two donors, how to get to Wuzhou City?"

Mei Zhenyi quickly returned and said, "Walking along the river, you can see the peach blossoms for ten miles. Wherever the peach blossoms end, you can see the Wuzhou city tower. Master, what are you going to Wuzhou? Which temple do you want to place orders in?"

Just now, I talked about the monk who would enter the city, and then a monk came. How could Mei Zhenyi not be surprised? He carefully peeked at the monk in his spiritual sense, but found no flaws, and his every move seemed to be normal. Looking at the fairy boy Qingfeng, he seemed to have not seen the monk, with a calm face and no respect, standing there still looking at the river.

The monk replied, "Thank you for your guidance. My monk's Dharma name is Huanglong, and he is a Zen master. He wanted to go to Jiulin Zen Temple. He heard that Zen Master Wuxiang welcomed the abbot with a nine-ring tin staff and a purple gold bowl, so I came far away."

Mei Zhenyi's heart moved. This person was indeed going to Jiulin Zen Temple. Is it the monk he was looking for? He glanced at Qingfeng and asked with speechless Guanyin technique: "Immortal Child. Are you talking about this Zen Master Huanglong?"

Qingfeng did not answer, turned around and asked Huang Long, "Monk, do you also want to go to Jiulin Zen Temple to be the abbot? Why did you take it? I have a question and I wonder if you can answer it?"

Huang Long was stunned for a moment, and smiled with a profound expression and said, "Did this boy ask me about me? Then please ask."

Qingfeng pointed to Qingyijiang in front of him and said, "How many boats are there on the river?"

Mei Zhenyi also followed the breeze's gesture to look up the river. There were no villages nearby, and there were no ferries by the river. Only a few sails were seen in the distance. There was only a small boat floating slowly from the other shore.

Zen Master Huanglong didn't look at it, and replied with emotion: "There are only two boats on the river, one is famous and the other is profitable. The embarrassment of all living beings. I will not see the other side if I don't leave these two boats."

Qingfeng smiled and said, "You monk is so relaxing, the road is at your feet and the temple is in the city. Please go by yourself." At the same time, he said to Mei Zhenyi, "It's not him. This monk is just a person who is lying on Zen and shows off his mystery, so he doesn't have to pay attention to it."

Mei Zhenyi then realized that her spiritual consciousness could not detect any flaws of Zen Master Huanglong. It was not that this monk was so profound, but because he was a mortal with no cultivation. Just like when he saw Jiang Quanju at the Nestorian Dharma Assembly, he couldn't help but laugh.

Zen Master Huanglong left along the river with a graceful posture, with a proud look on his face as a monk.

A few more laughter came from the riverside. The small boat floated over to the shore, and the fairy boy in Mingyue jumped out, turned around with a smile and asked, "Is it fun to slither around?"

Ti Liu turned around and floated on the shore like a young village girl. With a simple hand, the small boat on the river turned into a flying scale and disappeared suddenly. He also smiled and said, "Thank you, fairy boy, for your guidance on such a magical use of the weapon... Mr. Mei. Why are you here?"

Mei Zhenyi: "The fairy boy in Qingfeng called me here. He happened to see the magical use of your flying god scales."

The relationship between Ti Liuzhu and Mingyue is the best, and they often play "games" together. They also get a lot of guidance. Mingyue did not deliberately teach Ti Liuzhu and practice, but there is a mysterious realm in every move. For example, today he also pointed out Ti Liu to transform the flying god scale into a small boat to go boating on the river. The magic of Ming Yue is naturally not murderous, and other experts will not think of such wonderful uses, because it is usually not necessary.

Qingfeng waved his hand and said, "Take Liuyou, go back. Mei Zhenyi has something to do and ask Mingyue... Mingyue, take Mei Zhenyi to the top of the mountain, and he wants to ask you."

Mei Zhenyi has something to ask Mingyue? As soon as Qingfeng opened his mouth, he remembered the words of this fairy boy back then - he wanted to break through various incarnation transformations. When the opportunity came, he could ask Mingyue first, and then go to Jiulin Zen Temple to meet the monk.

On the top of Jingting Mountain, Mingyue sat on a rock, looking at Mei Zhenyi standing respectfully in front of her, blinking her eyes and seemed to be curious, her eyes as if asking - do you have anything to ask me? I don’t seem to have any Taoism to teach you?

Mei Zhenyi bowed and asked, "I went through the sea of ​​suffering in the Longkong Mountain, Kunlun Fairyland, but I have not seen all kinds of previous lives. I have not seen enough knowledge to break the transformation of the transformation. I heard that the fairy child was born from the untainted energy of the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, and I have not seen all kinds of previous lives. How can I be born into the path of immortality?"

Mingyue scratched her ears, thought for a while and replied: "It's not surprising that she was born into an immortal. My furnace is like this. When she was born, she was in a state of mind and transcends the cycle of life and death. In fact, you are wrong. In the sea of ​​suffering, you have seen all kinds of views and knowledge in the previous life. This is the foundation for practicing and realizing all kinds of incarnation transformations in the future, but it may not necessarily be like this. It is proof that knowledge may not be in the previous life, such as me."

Mei Zhenyi: "This is exactly what I want to ask, how should I verify it?"

Mingyue wrinkled her nose and looked very cute. She asked back: "In a moment, you may see the creatures for a lifetime? From life to death, they are sad and happy, avoid, understand, and have all kinds of hardship."

Mei Zhenyi thought and replied, "The practice has been long and it is not impossible to witness a mortal for a lifetime, but it seems that it cannot be done in a single thought."

Mingyue smiled: "This is the obstacle to seeing and knowing. In fact, all sentient beings are outside the mountain." As he said that, he stretched out his little hand and pointed to Wuzhou City far away from the mountain.

This sentence and this gesture, like a sudden enlightenment, awakened Mei Zhenyi, and he understood what the bright moon meant. Have you ever seen a living creature for a lifetime in one thought? Of course, it is invisible. A person is in front of you. You can only see him now. Everything from birth to death is not something you can see. But in the eyes of the immortals, what you see is not these, and all sentient beings in the world are actually in front of you.

Can't you see a person from birth to death? There are life and death happening in the world. Some people are happy and some are sad, some are driven by profit, some are avoiding harm, some are hiding, some are conscious and wealthy, some are trapped in suffering. As long as your spiritual consciousness is broad enough, you can see all this. No difference between sentient beings is one person, and the encounter of sentient beings is all kinds of things in a lifetime. Aren't the world happening in front of you?

As soon as the Mingyue casting gesture was introduced, Mei Zhenyi felt that the soul was clear and bright. What did he see? - The entire Wuzhou City!

From high-rise buildings to dirty ditches, snakes, rats, chickens, dogs, and people in the market all had clear and clear in their spiritual sense. Mei Zhenyi stood on the clouds in Luoyang for ten months. In fact, he had witnessed this scene, but at that time he did not want to see it deliberately, but in that strange space, he had to watch it in the clear and clear space. At the end, he felt a little disgusted and numb, and had to see it transcend.

Hearing Mingyue's words today, Mei Zhenyi realized that she had missed a good opportunity to witness the practice. Mingyue's short sentences actually point out a kind of "conception" method in practice - the view of sentient beings. Without great magic power and great wisdom, ordinary practitioners cannot enter this state of view. Mei Zhenyi once entered passively, but she was not able to overcome that state of mind. Instead, she was pursuing a transcendent state that his cultivation had not yet reached.

There is also a method of seeing sentient beings in Buddhist practice. How can the Buddha realize the four noble truths of suffering, accumulation, extinction, and path in practice? You can start from the "view of sentient beings".

Of course, the bright moon casting spells is not as powerful as those above the clouds in Luoyang. She led the plum blossoms to shake their clothes and spread out brightly and saw the scene in Wuzhou City at this time. The time from raising his hand to putting it down was only three days and three nights.

Some babies were born in Wuzhou City, and some elderly people were dying, some were calculating their neighbors at home, some were seeking livelihoods on the streets. There were also mice stealing oil, insects and pupas turn into butterflies, birds hold nests, cats and dogs fight, etc. The scenes are clear and unobstructed. Plums shook their clothes and entered the country to see. This is the appearance of sentient beings, and I was in it in my previous life!

Of course, Mei Zhenyi himself did not have such great power. He was in the mind of Mingyue, and he could feel the cultivation of this fairy child. The appearance of sentient beings in Wuzhou that the Qingming Yuanshen saw was like soft moonlight falling and appearing, even the most dirty place was quiet and peaceful without any contamination. This invisible moonlight was like a mirror that was not covered with dust. It was so clear that it was not left in the mirror.

The bright moon is the untainted energy of the immortal spirit. The state of mind is not stained at all. Of course, she can see the images of sentient beings, and the knowledge is perfect in one thought. But it is equivalent to not seeing them, and she does not want to do anything and does not have to get involved. But Mei Zhenyi is different. He has not yet transcended life and death, so he still has to observe the image of "self" reincarnation among sentient beings.

There are also places in Wuzhou City where he cannot see it, namely Cuiting Temple and Jiulin Zen Temple, and there are also people who cannot see it. There are two people in total, one is Miss Guan, who sells fruits in front of Cuiting Temple, and the other is a young monk who walked into the ground from the south gate. When the monk walked into Wuzhou City with a black dog slowly, Zen Master Huanglong also entered from the north gate.

Jiulin Zen Temple is in the north of the city. Master Huanglong arrived first. It was already the hour when he walked into Jiulin Zen Temple. At that time, the local temple was not as good as the entrance of the scenic area and was watching the place where tickets were sold, and he went straight into the empty gate and saw no one else. Huanglong walked to the courtyard and said to him, "Master, come with me to serve the meal. There will be no food after noon." Then he hurried to the kitchen hall.

Huanglong came very coincidental. It happened to be the time for the meal in Jiulin Zen Temple. There were not many monks here, but now they were all going to have dinner. The monk Huanglong, wearing a yellow-bottomed and red-patterned cassock and straight waist, was a little embarrassed. No one came forward to greet the greetings. The little novice monk said hello and ran away.

At this time, a monk walked out of the Main Hall and saw Huang Long standing in the yard. He went forward and bowed and said, "Senior brother, are you from afar? My Dharma name is Wuxiang, and I am the abbot of this temple."

Huang Long quickly returned the salute, and deliberately put on a look of neither humility nor arrogant expression and said with his chest: "It turns out that he is Wuxiang Junior Brother, I have long admired you! The monk's name is Huanglong, who is a master of the same clan, and comes from Huanglong Temple in Ganshui. I heard that Zen Master Wuxiang welcomed the new abbot with a purple gold bowl and a nine-ring tin staff in Wuzhou, and came to pick up the Buddha's fate from afar."

Wuxiang looked at Huang Long and asked with a smile: "When my senior brother entered the empty sect, did you not see the Nine-ring Tin Staff?"

Huang Long was stunned. As soon as he entered the door, he wanted to talk to someone, but he really didn't pay attention to where the Jiuhuan Tin Staff was placed. At this time, three dog barkings came from outside the Jiulin Zen Temple. Wuxiang's expression changed. He apologized to Huang Long: "I want to go out to welcome guests. Senior brother, please go to the kitchen to use rice. I offended you!" As he spoke, he almost trotted out the door.

A monk came outside the door, who was in his early twenties. He had an ordinary appearance, small eyes, light eyebrows, flat face, and his facial features were very ordinary, and his eyebrows were vaguely similar to Zen Master Wuxiang. He wore straw hat, straw sandals, and had not worn a cassock. His monk's robe also looked a little worn, and he seemed to have come from afar.

He was not burly. He stood there with a peaceful and graceful look and naturally had an indescribable majesty. He bowed his head and bowed his head to the temple gate. What was even more strange was that there was a dog beside him, like an adult hunting dog, with a shiny black hair all over his body. His body was not too big but he looked smart and strong. The dog also lowered his head and bent his front legs slightly, and bowed his head and bowed his head to the temple gate.

What are they ceremonials? The middle gate of Jiulin Zen Temple is wide open, and the ground is worshipped in the middle of the mountain gate hall is Maitreya Bodhisattva, just like the statue of the earthly Dharma body of Mr. Xiong in the middle of the mountain gate hall of Cuiting Temple. The statue of Maitreya Bodhisattva in the Tang Dynasty temple is not the statue of the sitting monk with a bare chest and a smile, and a chubby breast.

This statue of Maitreya Bodhisattva is standing, with a "standard figure". It is surrounded by treasure trees and lotus on its shoulders. It is folded with hands and lowered its eyes to chant scriptures. It is looking at the position where the monks stood outside the temple gate. There is a nine-ring tin staff placed in the bend of his arms and was standing in front of him. If Mei Zhenyi was here, it would be discovered that the posture of this statue was the posture of the young monk chanting the Buddha's name on the clouds in Luoyang. Even his expression was the same at this time.

Zen Master Wuxiang ran to the door and said in surprise and joy: "Qiao Jue, is it you? I have been missing for many years and I almost dare not recognize him."

The monk named Qiao Jue looked up and smiled: "It's me, I heard that my uncle was here and came here to visit him."

At this moment, the nine rings on the tin staff suddenly made a tinkling sound, and there was no one else around or the wind blew by. Wuxiang's expression was shocked again. He pointed at Qiao Jue and said, "So it's you!"

In the seventh year of Kaiyuan in the Tang Dynasty, the person Zhisheng set up the Jiulin Zen Temple and finally came to Wuzhou. He was Jin Qiaojue, a young monk from the Silla County of the Tang Dynasty, and he also brought his accompanying guardian god dog to listen. When Qiaojue walked into the Kongmen with Wuxiang, all the plum blossoms in the temple were in the view of sentient beings.

Mingyue raised her hand for three days. When she put down her hand, Mei Zhenyi felt that her mood was almost there. The transformation of Yang Shen’s incarnation was only one layer of window paper without breaking it. The three calendars proved that Mei Zhenyi could understand its realm, but her knowledge was still insufficient.

As soon as Mei Zhenyi came out of the state of concentration, she heard the Mingyue in front of her scream: "No, I'm sucking into the Jiulin Zen Temple by the great magic power, and disappeared!"

Before he finished speaking, a red cloud flew over to the top of Jingting Mountain and turned into Zhiyan's figure. Zhiyan said anxiously as soon as he landed, "Zhenyi, something happened in Jiulian Mountain, and all the ghosts and gods in the mountains were gone, and the guardian of the mountain slipped around and disappeared!"

"Don't panic, all the ghosts and gods in the mountains have been saved by the new abbot of Jiulin Zen Temple and will enter the cycle of reincarnation again." The sound of the breeze came, and people also appeared on the top of the mountain out of thin air.

Zhiyan asked in surprise: "Master Qiao Jue, the new abbot of Jiulin Zen Temple? The day before yesterday, Jiulin Zen Temple sent an invitation to visit Zhenyi, but Zhenyi was practicing here. I sent Mei Yi to do such a thing."

Qingfeng said lightly: "This is not a bad thing, it should be."

Mingyue asked, "Where is the slippery?"

Qingfeng: "I can see clearly that the sliver has broken the delusion and the Yin God will not enter the cycle of reincarnation with the original heaven, but the ghosts and gods of Jiulian Mountain are its subordinates, and they also chased them, and they may not escape and return."

Zhiyan was shocked and said to Qingfeng in a questioning tone: "The fairy boy Mingyue is casting spells but not protecting each other. Since you can see clearly, why don't you stop the leap and slip?"

Qingfeng frowned: "So what if I don't stop it?"

This sentence choked Zhiyan, and he stood there and didn't know what to say. Qingfeng is the Golden Immortal in the Practice Mountains, and Jingting Mountain is the temple where Mei Zhenyi gave it to Qingfeng for gratitude and love. This Golden Immortal is not a home for Mei family, but a human or a ghost, a cat or a dog, and he has the responsibility to watch it. He slipped around and entered the hell of reincarnation, which is nothing to do with Qingfeng. Qingfeng reached out to help, which is an extra blessing, and there is no fault if he didn't stop him, and it is not even a turn for Zhiyan to ask.

Qingfeng ignored Zhiyan's embarrassment, looked at her and said, "I did it on purpose, do you understand?... Qiao Jue came to Wuzhou, and Ti Liuzhuo was inevitable. Whether Mei Zhenyi was for his own practice or wanted to bring Ti Liuzhuo back, she could not avoid going to the hell of reincarnation."

"My Zhenyi is going to bring Ti Liuzhuo back? Then I'll go too!" Mingyue stood up and said, this was the first time she took the initiative to take over the matter.

Zhiyan bowed and said, "I was so anxious that I was speechless just now, please don't blame me. Thank you for helping me to save Ti Liuzhuo...Zhenyi, I'll go with you too."

Qingfeng waved his sleeves and said, "I don't blame you. Mei Zhenyi went to Jiulin Zen Temple either to rescue Ti Liuzhuo or bring her back. You don't have to go... Mingyue, you won't be willing to go to that place and send Mei Zhenyi to the temple and let him solve it himself."
