Chapter 251 ,(1/2)
...With Tang Seng's helping to relieve the disaster for Guan Hong's servant Guan Hong's servant! Of course, Kou Hong's servant was willing to simplify the situation. He originally wanted Tang Seng and his disciples to stay in the village for several days, but Tang Seng and others were leaving, Kou Hong's servant held a feast for him... Inviting villagers from all over the countryside to come and greet Tang Seng and his disciples to greet him and his disciples.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Kou Hong was really a little chewed and was choked while eating. No matter how to rescue him, he was useless, and it took only a few minutes. Mr. Kou Hong was choked to death.
Now the Kou family became panicked and asked Tang Seng to think of a solution. Tang Seng was also very depressed. He thought that this bandit misfortune had helped you block it, but he didn't expect that Kou Hong was still dead. And he actually choked to death while eating.
At that time, Mr. Kou Hongwai had a big mouthful of food in his mouth. But he didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly laughed to the sky, as if he was very happy, but he never thought that with a smile on the sky, the food wrapped in his mouth choked into the trachea, and then it was a tragedy,
Mr. Kou Hong's old mother asked Tang Monk to find a way in tears: "Elder Tang, my son has been compassionate and generous all his life. Now he has 10,000 monks and has achieved success. But why did God treat him like this? First, he was tragic, but now he was choked to death. Why did God treat him like this?"
Tang Monk nodded and said, "Old Mom. Don't worry. According to my opinion, this is because the Buddha saw that he was a compassionate and kind person, so he couldn't wait to recruit Mr. Kou Hong to heaven to help more suffering people in the world. As the saying goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. If Mr. Kou Hong becomes a Buddha, the greater his ability, so that he can help more people. Well, I think that's how it is."
The old mother said even more sadly: "How could there be such a Buddha? No matter how anxious I am, I can't capture his soul halfway? At least I have to wait for my son to live his life and die, and it's not too late to go to heaven again! If he ascended now, who will send me to the end? Wouldn't this be a good thing? This is simply one of the biggest tragedies in life."
Uh”, I didn’t expect this old mother to speak well!
So Tang Seng smiled and said, "Old Mom, don't worry. It's probably because the old Tathagata is so confused that he actually made such a big mistake. Isn't this a blow to our Buddhist believers' enthusiasm for practicing Buddhism and meditation? Let's do this. I'll send my disciple to hell to see and check how many years the life span of Mr. Kou Hongwai is still there. If there is a mistake, then my disciple will ask the King of Hell to send Mr. Kou Hongwai's soul back. Don't worry!"
"Ah," the old mother was stunned for a moment and said, "What are you kidding? You will become a ghost after going to hell. How could your disciple go to hell casually? It's not like going to a restaurant."
When Wukong heard someone questioning his strength, he couldn't wait to jump up and said, "Old woman, how dare you doubt my old Sun's strength? Let me tell you, I am Sun Wukong, who made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace more than 500 years ago. Let alone going to hell. Even if it is to go to heaven, what's the difficulty? For us, going to heaven and going to the underworld is much easier than going to a hotel and a restaurant!"
The old mother was frightened by Wukong and hurriedly leaned towards Tang Seng. Tang Seng waved her hand at Wukong and said, "When Wukong is right, it seems like Master treats you badly. You don't like eating food made from fireworks in the world, so you like to eat fruits and so on. So it's no difference for you to go to a restaurant."
Wukong smiled and said, "I'm just talking. Master. Then I'll go down and check with the King of Hell?"
Seeing Tang Monk nodding, Wukong leaped and disappeared on the spot. He headed to the underworld, and Tang Monk and others comforted the old man of the Kou family waiting for Wukong's return. Not long after, Wukong came back and asked him about his situation. Wukong laughed and said, "Kou Hong's life is still long. His original life is 83 years old. Now that the merits of the monks have been fulfilled, he has been given a life of 40 years, so he has a total life of 123 years. What's the point? Congratulations!"
The old mother Kou was so happy that she heard this. She hurried to Kou Hong's bedside. Seeing that Kou Hong had not woken up, she said anxiously: "Elder Sun, you won't deceive me, the old woman, right?"
Wukong didn't say anything, but just smiled and urinated and heard Kou Hong suddenly coughing heavily. Everyone stepped forward to help him up, and saw Kou Hong coughing violently, and a mess of food was spit out. Then he took a big breath and said, "Oh, I haven't suffocated me to death!"
The old mother Kou said, "Son, you have been suffocated to death. They were these holy monks from the Tang Dynasty who brought you back to life. Why don't you thank them?"
When Kou Hong heard this, he wanted to get out of bed and thank him, but was stopped by Tang Monk and said, "You are welcome. Don't Kou Yuanwaizhai Monk ask for other people's rewards? You should take care of your health first."
Kou Hong got up and said, "Elder Tang. I feel that my body seems to be much stronger and more energetic. My body is good! Please give Kou Hong a bow!"
Tang Monk had no choice but to let Mr. Kou Hongwai worship him. Tang Monk smiled and said, "You should be in good health. Because Wukong went to the underworld to check it out, you were born in 83 years old, but now you have 10,000 monks. Your merits and achievements are complete. You will be given a life of 40 years. Your current life is 123 years old. To live for such a long time, of course you must have a good body! Congratulations, Mr. Kou!"
"Really?" Mr. Kou Hong smiled happily: "So that's the case, haha."
Tang Monk said again: "However, what I want to tell you is that you should continue to treat all things in time with compassion in the future, so that you can ascend to heaven when you die. Being one of the immortals and Buddhas, the least you will continue to be rich and noble in the next life. The virtues accumulated in this life will definitely be returned to you in the next life. Of course, those who do many evil things in this life will be given twice as much to those people in the next life."
"You must keep the words of the master in mind!" Mr. Kou Hong said devoutly.
The master and disciple of Tang Monk finally set out on the road to the west again. Along the way, they stayed countless times and went out countless times. No small stop that was temporarily stayed has become small stops in their lives, and they are just passers-by in other people's lives. And this time, the master and disciple of Tang Monk Monk were finally able to reach the end.
Since Kou Yuanwai was reborn, he sorted out the banners, drums and music, and monks, Taoists, relatives and friends still saw him off. However, the four monks of Tang went on the road and went straight to Lingshan. This place was very close to Lingshan. It was indeed a Western Buddha land. It was different from other places. I saw some Qihua, Yao grass, ancient shoots, and pines. Wherever I passed, every family was good and every household was busy with monks. Whenever the people at the foot of the mountain practiced, they saw guests in the forest chanting sutras.
The masters and disciples stayed overnight and walked around the morning. After another six or seven days, they suddenly saw a tall building and several floors of the great pavilions. They were so scared that they soared into the sky and towered into the sky. They looked down at the sunset and led their hands to pick the flying stars.
The open-minded window pavilion swallows the thunder. The rugged buildings connect to the cloud screen. The yellow crane letter comes to the autumn trees grow old, and the colorful phoenixes write to the evening breeze. This is the treasure palace of the Ling Palace, the pearl courtyard of the Lin Pavilion. The true hall talks about the Tao. The universe spreads the scriptures. The flowers come to spring, and the pine trees pass by green. The purple zhi is beautiful every year. The elixir and fairy fruits are beautiful every year. The elixir and phoenixes fly inspire.
In such a holy place, even when Tang Monk who was laughing and joking all the way, he couldn't help but be pious and said to the second-grade rank! "Wukong, that's the Great Leipu Temple in Lingshan." Wukong said excitedly: "Master, it's just that. It would be better if you don't get off the horse when you encountered that fake Buddha realm that day. Today, you have reached this true realm and the real Buddha image, and you won't get off the horse. What did you say?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Seng quickly turned over and jumped down, and had already reached the pavilion gate.
I saw a Taoist boy standing slanted to the mountain gate and shouting, "Was the one who came here to learn from the scriptures?"
Tang Monk hurriedly dressed up and looked up. He saw him wearing brocade clothes, shaking his jade eagle with his hands, hanging his elbows with immortal seals, and walking on his feet with shoes. He was floating in a real feather, beautiful and amazing. He cultivated his immortals in immortality and became eternal life and escaped from dust. Tang Monk did not recognize the guest of Lingshan, and the great immortal from the golden peak came back then.
When Wukong recognized him, he called: "Master, this is the great immortal on the golden top of Yuzhenguan at the foot of Lingshan. He is here to pick us up."
Tang Monk woke up and went forward to pay tribute. The great immortal smiled and said, "The holy monk has arrived this year, and I was coaxed by Guanyin Bodhisattva. He received the Buddha's golden order ten years ago and sought the scholars from the East. He said that he would be here in two or three years. I waited every year, but there was no news, and I didn't expect to meet again this year."
Tang Monk put his hands together and said, "I am grateful for the great immortal. Thank you! Thank you!" So these four groups led horses and carried a load together into the temple, but met the great immortals one by one. The great immortal ordered to watch tea and vegetarian food, and also asked the little children to burn incense soup and bathe with the holy monk, so that they could reach the Buddha's land. It was exactly that: after the full practice, you should bathe, refine your nature and be innocence. After all, you will have to rest. The Nine Rings and Three Boards begin to change. As expected, you will climb to the Buddha's land. The disasters will disappear, so you will see the monk. Wash the dust and dirt and be completely stained. The original body will be restored. The master and disciple bathe, and before they realize that the sky is going to be late, they will rest in the Yuzhen Temple.
The next morning, Tang Monk changed his clothes, put on a thick robe, wore a Lu hat, held a tin staff, and went to the hall to bid farewell to the great immortal. The great immortal smiled and said, "Yesterday's ragged threads, today's bright, I see this true Buddhist son."
Tang Seng bowed and said, "Thank you for your praise from the great immortal. My master and apprentice are here."
The great immortal said, "Stay here and wait for me to send you."
Wukong said: "You don't have to send me away, Lao Sun recognizes the way."
The great immortal said: "What you recognize is the cloud road. The holy monk has not yet climbed the cloud road, so he should walk along the road."
Wukong said, "What's the point? Although Lao Sun has walked a few times, he has only been around and never stepped on this place. Since he has this path, he is also bothering you to send it. My master is very dedicated to worshiping Buddha, so please do not hesitate."
The great immortal smiled and carried Tang Monk's hand to guide the Dharma door to the tour. It turned out that if the road did not go out of the mountain gate, he would pass through the back door from the Guanyu Zhongtang. The great immortal pointed to Lingshan and said, "Saint Monk, look at the five colors of auspicious lights and a thousand auspiciousness in the half day, which is the peak of Lingjiu, the holy realm of the Buddha. The holy monk, you, the great saint, Tianpeng, and the rolling curtain, have arrived at the blessed land. Seeing Lingshan, I will go back."
Tang Seng then bowed and said, "Then I will thank you for your guidance." After that, he and his disciples went straight to the mountain.
The Great Sage led Tang Monk and others to walk slowly and climb Lingshan. After less than five or six miles, he saw a stream of living water. The waves were rolling and flowing, about wide and wide. There was no trace of people. When he looked closer, there was a flat beside the bridge, and there were three words Lingyundu on it. It turned out to be a single-plank bridge. This bridge was not an ordinary bridge. If you want to pass by this bridge, it would be impossible for the immortal Daluo to pass. Among the masters and disciples of Tang Monk, only Wukong could stagger over, like Bajie and Sha Seng.
Bajie, Sha Seng wanted to drive the wind over, but was stopped by Wukong and said, "If you sincerely go to Lingshan, you must be down-to-earth step by step. What's the point of flying? Then it's better to just walk on the cloud road."
Just when Tang Monk and others were worried, one person came downstream with a boat and shouted: "Go up the ferry! Go up the ferry!"
Tang Monk was overjoyed and said, "A disciples, there is a ferry boat here." The three of them jumped up and stood still. They watched with their eyes. The boat was approaching. It turned out to be a bottomless boat. The walker had already recognized it as the guide Buddha. Also known as the Buddha of the Namo Bao Bao Guangwang. The walker did not break the question. He just called: "Come here! Come here!"
When Tang Seng saw this, he was a little surprised and suspicious. He didn't say it out loud. Anyway, there were Buddhas everywhere in Lingshan Mountain, and the guy who was hiding the boat seemed to be a Buddha, and he forgot the name of the Buddha. Anyway, it was a great guy, so what was there to hold a bottomless boat? As long as he was willing, it would be no problem to support the bottomless boat into an invincible boat. I'm afraid that this bottomless boat can be shaking without any slightest, like walking on flat ground.
Tang Monk and his disciple jumped onto the boat, and the hull didn't move at all. The Buddha gently stretched out his head and saw a small dead body. Tang Monk was shocked when he saw it, and Wukong smiled and said, "Master, don't be afraid, that's you."
Bajie also said: "It's you!"
Sha Seng clapped his hands and said, "It's you!"
The man who was hunching the horn also said, "That's you! I'll congratulate you!"
Tang Seng said depressedly: "I know it's me, you don't need to say so many times, right? Where does this joyful congratulation come from?"
The man who was on the boat smiled and said, "After crossing this river, he has escaped from the body of the fetus, and loves each other is the soul. Only when he is fully aware of his journey will he become a Buddha and wash away the sixty and six dusts of that year. This is truly the so-called great wisdom and the method of reaching the other shore infinity."
The four monks and disciples of Tang got ashore, but when they turned around, they disappeared. Wukong then said that the man was just guiding the Buddha, and Sanzang thanked him very much. They all walked up to Lingshan and saw the ancient temple of Thunder and Yin:
The top of the sky is the middle of Hanzhong, the roots are connected to the Sumeru vein. The cliff is arranged, and the strange rocks are mixed. The Yao grass and Qi flowers are in the cliff. The purple zhi is fragrant and wise beside the winding path. The fairy ape picks fruits into the peach forest, but it looks like fire burning gold; the white cranes and sacrificial pine trees stand on the branches. They are like smoke holding jade. The colorful phoenixes are paired with colorful phoenixes, and the green phoenixes are paired with green phoenixes. The yellow and golden tiles are stacked with mandarin ducks, and the bright guises are covered with agate. The east and west are all covered with the jinggong palace; the south and north are unable to see the treasure pavilion and treasure tower. The sky is shining in the palace and the guardian hall is sprayed with purple flames. The pagoda tower is visible, and the fragrance of flowers is the earth that is far away from the sky. The small clouds are leisurely and the day is long. The world does not end, and there is no loss for all disasters.
The masters and disciples walked to the top of Lingshan Mountain and saw the upas listed under the green pine forest and the good men were arranged in the green slap. The Tang monk then bowed, and the upas, Upasi, the monk monk, and the nun were so panicked that the upasi, the upasi, the monk monk and the nun clasped their hands together and said, "Don't bow to the holy monk. I like Muni, but I come to talk to each other."
Wukong smiled and said, "It's still early! It's still early! Go and worship the superiors first." Tang Monk followed Wukong until outside the gate of Leiyin Temple. There were four major gold nets there to greet him, and said, "Holy Monk is here?"
Tang Seng bowed and said, "Yes, my disciple Xuanhuang has arrived." After answering, he was about to enter.
Na Jin.com said, "Holy monk wait a moment, let me come in again." Na Jin.com reported a mountain gate and reported the four major gold nets on the second gate, saying that Tang Monk arrived; the second gate was passed into the third gate, saying that Tang Monk had arrived; the third gate was originally a sacrifice monk in the three mountains. When he heard that Tang Monk arrived, he rushed to His Highness Nobita and reported to the Supreme Tathagata Shakyamuni Buddha, saying, "The holy monk in the Tang Dynasty has come to Baoshan to obtain the scriptures."
The Buddha Tathagata was very happy when he heard this, and summoned the eight Bodhisattvas, four gold nets, five hundred alas, three thousand Jiedi, eleven big jars, eighteen gamblings, two rows, but he passed the golden order and summoned the Tang monk to come in. There, one layer after another, and according to the Buddha's order, he called: "The Holy Monk comes in."
"The Holy Monk Comes in"
"The holy monk comes in
Tang Seng heard it outside the mountain gate. These guys were very loud and shouted all the way. The scene was so grand that Tang Seng would leave this for nothing.
Tang Monk followed the rules and followed Wukong, Wuneng, Wujing, led his horse and carried a load, walked into the mountain gate and went to the front of the Great Hall. He looked at the Buddha Tathagata and said carefully that the Tathagata was really tall and eight... Long sat in that armor, how high acquaintance was. He was really born with a strange feeling, and he was willing to "be bowed down to the Tathagata. After bowing, he bowed to the Bodhisattvas on the left and right. After walking three times, he knelt down to the Buddha and presented the links to the arts and literature. The Tathagata looked at it one by one and handed it to Tang Monk.
The Tang monk bowed to the white house and started the ceremony, saying, "Disciple Xuanv. He followed the will of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty in Dongtu, and went to Baoshan from afar. He prayed to seek the true scriptures to help all living beings. I hope that my Buddha will give me kindness and return to my country as soon as possible."
The Buddha Tathagata was so old that he didn't speak at first. It was not until Tang Monk completed this series of etiquette procedures that he spoke: "Tang Sanzang, your eastern land is the southern continent. It is because the sky is high and the earth is thick. It is vast and the people are dense, and it is greedy and killing. It is more lustful and deceitful, it is more deceitful and deceitful. It does not follow Buddhism, does not respect the three lights, does not value grains; it is unfaithful and unfilial, does not be righteous and unkind, does not hide its true self, and fights against the scales. It kills life and kills animals. It is committed to committing endless evils, and the sins are full of evils, which leads to hell disasters, so it is forever fallen into the underworld, suffers the pain of pounding and pounding, and changes animals. There are many shapes of wool and horns. It pays off the debts and feeds people. It will always fall into the avian. Those who cannot be promoted will fall into the avian.
.It is all because of this. Although Confucius established a teaching of benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom, and emperors successively ruled the punishment of the tragedy of the people who were ignorant and unclear. Why are you indulging and unrestrained? I have now three collections of sutras, which can get rid of distress and explain disasters. The three collections of trinity: There is one collection of Dharma, talk about the heavens; there is one collection of sutras, and talk about the earth; there is one collection of sutras, and save ghosts. There is one collection of thirty-five volumes. It is true that the path to cultivation, the door to righteousness and goodness, and all the astronomy, geography, figures, birds, beasts, flowers, trees, tools, and human affairs of the four continents in the world. You come far away and you will give it to you to take away the small people in that place, stupid villages, slander the truth, and do not recognize the secret purpose of my monk."
When the little Tang monk heard the words of the Buddha Tathagata, he was speechless and thought to himself that you were too ruthless, right? But thinking about it, there are indeed such people, but they always sound a little unhappy.
Even if you are unhappy, Tang Seng still has to hold it in his heart, thinking that this is someone else's territory, and the people present can just pull it out. "It's also a very powerful character. Don't be wild in other people's territory. We should be more low-key and obedient. Otherwise, if you raise a little objection and are dragged to debate by the Buddha, then you can't afford to take advantage of your own level. How can you discuss it with the Buddha?
Tang Monk was chanting his belly, but heard the Buddha say again: "Ashu, Jiaye, you two lead him and four groups. Go to the Zhenlou and treat him first. After the vegetarian, he opened the treasure pavilion and checked several volumes of my Tripitaka Sutra to him within the thirty-five sections of my Tripitaka, and taught him to spread the flowing land in the east and forever to commemorate the great ethics."
The two venerables followed the Buddha's order and led the four groups downstairs. They could not see all the rare treasures and arranged endlessly. They saw the gods who offered sacrifices, all of which were immortals, immortal dishes, immortal tea, and immortal fruits. They were different from the world. The masters and disciples bowed to the Buddha's kindness and enjoyed them as they pleased. In fact, it was: the golden light of the treasures reflected brightly. The strange fragrance and strange food were even more subtle. The thousand-layer golden pavilion was infinitely beautiful. The fairy sound was clear in the ears. The fairy flowers were rare in people with vernacular taste, and fragrant tea was eaten to achieve immortality. They had always suffered thousands of sufferings. Today, the glory and joy were fulfilled.
This fortune made Bajie. It was cheaper for Sha Seng and the things here were all forever and longevity, and for his own enjoyment. Tang Seng took advantage of the two priests' inattention and kept sending these immortal fruits to the secret space for his enjoyment.
Bajie was already invincible. At this time, he saw that his father was eating faster and more than himself. He couldn't help but say, "Master, you really want to eat well and you want to starve to death. Eating this immortal fruit even more than my old pig. You can't be picky about your food!"
Tang Seng glared at him and said, "Bajie, eat yours, and eat yours. No one thinks you are a mute!" After that, he shouted, "Two venerables, do you know if there are any extra vegetarian food? Look, my two disciples are so edible. Take out all the food you have, feed him."
Bajie rolled his eyes, and was about to defend himself, but was stared at by Tang Monk. He didn't dare to say anything again, but he just buried his head and continued to eat and drink. Seeing that Bajie was indeed very good at eating, the two venerables went to get the food again. Although they were very unhappy, the Buddha had the will and had to abide by it.
The two venerables finally served the four groups to finish their meals, but entered the treasure pavilion and opened the door to see. There was a cloud in the front, which was auspicious. It covered a thousand layers of fog and auspicious clouds. On the sutra cabinet, there were red signs outside the treasure cabinet, and the titles of the sutras were written in regular script. There were thirty-five pieces in total, and each sutra was even more numerous than hundreds of volumes, filling the entire treasure house, comparable to the National Library.
A statue, Jiaye led Tang Monk to read all the sutras and said to Tang Monk: "The holy monk Dongtu has arrived here, what are some people and things to send to us? Take it out quickly, so that you can spread the sutras and go with you.
Tang Seng was stunned when he heard this, then reacted and laughed, "It's easy to say, what do the two venerables want? It's just these gold, silver and treasures in the world. What's the use of the two venerables?" The two venerables said, "Don't worry about whether we are useful or not. Just take it!"
Tang Seng laughed and said, "This is easy to say. I'm afraid that the two venerables will not like you!" Tang Seng said, and took out the gold that he had used gold stones to light up every day along the way, which was a total of hundreds of kilograms. He handed it over to the two venerables.
When the two venerables saw this, they said happily: "Okay, okay, that's what's right." Cough cough. Let's preach the scriptures and preach the scriptures. Come here to receive the scriptures."
The three Wukong brothers ran to receive the sutra happily. After receiving a few books online, Tang Seng came up and took one: "Damn. Two Venerables, such a profound sutra. I'm afraid that no one can understand the disciples brought back to the Dongtu Tang Dynasty, right?"
The two venerables pretended not to know and said, "What, what's wrong with this scripture?"
Tang Monk smiled and said, "Two Venerables, what's wrong with this sutra? You can read it yourself. Don't say that the people of the Dongtu Tang Dynasty cannot understand it. Even the high-level Buddhist believer, I can't understand it. If you haven't learned such sutras, why not ask the Buddha Tathagata. Please teach him? Or, there is a secret secret in these sutras? We need to soak it in water and roast it with fire, and put it in it to reveal the handwriting?"
When the three Wukong brothers heard this, they opened a book casually, but found that all of them were blank. They were whiter than the master's face. They were clearly empty.
Wukong burst out at that time: "Damn. You two guys accepted the gifts from my master, and even gave us these things. I was so angry that I was so angry that I was so angry that I went with me to the Tathagata for commenting!"
The two venerables pretended not to know, took the book and looked at it. They slapped their foreheads and said, "Oh, I'm so sorry, this is not a scripture, it's just a blank book, and it has not been copied here. Sorry, this is our mistake, we will get you the real scriptures right away."
After the two venerables finished speaking, they put away the wordless scriptures. They opened another bookcase. They took out a booklet from it and read it in person. Then they handed it to Tang Seng and others, saying, "Holy Monk, there is no problem with this scripture this time."
Although the two venerables read it personally, the three brothers Wukong also had to read it personally. After confirming that it was the true scriptures, they put them in their jackets and put them on.
To be continued...
