Chapter Two Hundred and Thirty-One: The Westward Biography of Daoism
The bright moon in the Western Region has a faint blue outline.
The Taoist completely threw the book aside and stood up.
The moonlight illuminates its shadow, which rotates and lengthens on the ground. As the lights on the table flicker, it is divided into light and dark, rippling.
The Taoist asked with a rather joking look in his eyes.
"So the Lord of Lantuo Temple is going to the land of China to bring back the way of ghosts and gods?"
"Do you still want to spread my Taoism in the Western Regions?"
Yunjun nodded: "That's exactly what Alanduo meant."
The Taoist doesn't care why Alanduo suddenly expressed such thoughts, but it seems that it is indeed a good thing that the Lord of Landuo Temple in the Western Regions is willing to go to the Central Plains to seek the Taoist scriptures in person.
The dignified Lord of the Holy Temple of the Western Regions personally made this move.
All the people, cities, and countries in the entire Western Region can safely submit to the Taoist sect.
When it is spread from generation to generation, it becomes a beautiful story and a myth.
Kong Chenzi originally thought about how to deal with the huge monsters and monsters in the Western Region after expelling these monks.
After all, judging from the recent situation, there are far more monsters and monsters here than in the Central Plains.
In a city in the Central Plains, whether it is inside or outside the city, it is extremely rare to see a demon or spirit, which is enough to make people uneasy.
And in this western region outside the Great Wall, any city can hide many monsters.
In the wilderness outside the city, monsters and monsters are rampant.
The demon occupies the mountain and becomes the king, and the spirit paints the ground to become the cave.
Moreover, the rules of city gods and land laws of mountain gods in the Central Plains may not necessarily apply to this country in the Western Regions.
Moreover, it is unrealistic to send a large number of Taoists here.
The Taoist sect has been weakened and divided for thousands of years, and its talents have withered. Now there are not many talents available.
It was not enough to suppress the countries in the Central Plains. The Taoist sect masters in Yu, Shu, and Chen all cried to heaven and earth to ask Chixia Yuanjun to send ghosts and Taoists to help them suppress the local demons in order to help the Taoist sect rise again.
How could so many people be sent to this place outside the Great Wall of the Western Region to suppress the terrifying number of demons here?
After walking around the empty hall, Kong Chenzi stood in front of the window.
Look back.
"The Great Dao Sutra is in Gaojing, the Great Wei Dynasty in the Central Plains. If he can reach Gaojing, Lord Chixia Yuanjun will naturally give him the great law."
"If he can come back victorious, let him become a disciple of the Demon-Suppressing Heavenly King."
"The Demon-Suppressing Heavenly King will guard the Western Region and entrust the gods of the countries and cities in the Western Region."
Lantuo Temple.
At the foot of the mountain, the thousand-year-old ancient stele with the name of the temple engraved on it has also disappeared, leaving only a broken bottom.
Yesterday, when everyone came back in panic.
The ancient stele was shattered into rubble by the terrified and angry Alan Tuo in public. He was horrified because the evil in the future was unpredictable, and angry because these people from Lan Tuo Temple almost pushed him into the abyss.
After smashing the ancient stele of Lantuo Temple into pieces, he even shouted out in a vented voice: "I and the evil Buddha who have passed away are irreconcilable."
The monks were stunned for a moment, and then a bunch of old guys jumped out and cheered loudly for the Lord.
Such behavior made all the disciples and grandsons below dumbfounded.
Daojun Kongchen has not spoken yet, and he has not even said how to deal with the disciples in Landuo Temple.
Everyone hurriedly removed all the golden Buddhas, large and small, from the temple. Some people even melted the golden Buddhas on the spot, and all the statues were moved out.
But in the past, no one among the gods and Buddhas who were aloof could make any move, and even the fury of thunder could not come down.
I don’t know whether these disciples of Landuo Temple are really expressing their desire to change their past mistakes to Taoist Master Kongchen, or they are thinking of melting away the Golden Buddha, sharing a share of the gold, and enjoying wealth even after leaving Landuo Temple.
When Lord Yun comes again.
The former Lord Alanduo had taken off his gorgeous Lord's divine clothes and led the monks dressed in ordinary Western costumes out of the temple to pay homage to the Lord.
Except for a few of these monks who believe in the special deities of the Paradise Buddha Land, most of them do not need to trim their hair. Now that they have taken off their monk robes, they look like ordinary people from the Western Regions.
Lord Yun stood above the clouds, holding a golden decree and proclaiming it, and everyone below was respectful.
He faithfully conveyed the decree of Kongchen Daojun and ordered Alanta to rush to Gaojing, thousands of miles away, in the Great Wei Dynasty to obtain the Dao Sutra.
At the same time, he was also given a set of Bagua moire Taoist robes and a piece of Fuchen.
After announcing the decree, he casually pulled a lively and grinning monkey from the clouds to him.
After that, Yun Jun all rode the clouds and left.
At this time, the entire Landuo Temple was in a state of shock. No one expected that Daojun Kongchen was really planning to spread the Taoist Scriptures and Dafa to the Western Regions.
Everyone has complicated minds. At present, Buddhism can be understood at a glance that it cannot be relied on. If you cannot rely on powerful existences in the Western Regions and rely on their power to protect you, you will surely become the prey of demons.
Being able to switch to such a powerful Taoist sect is extremely attractive to them.
Even Alanduo didn't expect that his previous excuse to survive would actually lead to Kongchen Daojun issuing a decree for him to travel eastward to seek scriptures.
First there was fear, then surprise.
Finally it turned into calmness.
As for the entire disciples of Landuo Temple, they looked at Lord Alanta with burning eyes, as if they saw hope and the golden thighs in the future.
As long as Alanduo brings back the Dao Sutra from Eastern China and retrieves the Dafa of Kongchen Taoist Lord, from now on, he will be the one who spreads sutras and propagates the Dharma among Taoist sects in the Western Regions.
Everyone quickly gathered around and saluted Aranda respectfully.
"Lord, everything depends on you."
Aranta directly put the Taoist robe on his body and picked up the fly whisk with an indifferent expression.
"Don't call me Lord."
"From today on, I am just an ordinary Taoist who goes to Eastern China to learn scriptures and seek Dharma."
The sun shines on Alan Tuo's body, which makes him look like a human being.
Quite suddenly, the golden rope was opened, and the jade lock was broken here. Today, I know that I am my feeling.
————————————
Before leaving in a hurry, Alan Tuo prepared his luggage.
Even under the shrine, hundreds of people were crying and begging, asking Alan Tuo to take them with him to the Eastern China to obtain the true scriptures.
Each one of them spoke with sincerity and heartfelt emotion, which moved heaven and earth and made people shed tears.
Aranda was not moved at all and flatly refused them all.
With such a great achievement, wouldn't it be diluted if you bring them along?
How is this possible? With such a large group of people, are you going to seek scriptures or go sightseeing?
How can I, Alan Tuo, be able to express my devotion to the Tao?
The young man put on his Taoist robe, held Fuchen in his hand, and led a monkey with a chain.
As the sun rose, he stood in front of the shrine and slowly walked down.
Thousands of people on both sides knelt on the steps and sides of the temple, shouting Alanta's name and sending Alanta off to the east.
As Aranda walked down, he looked at the monkey he was holding.
Still feeling a little confused: "Why is there still a monkey?"
This is just an ordinary monkey, not a monster, let alone a spirit.
There is nothing special about it, but the chain holding it has a demon-suppressing seal on it, which seems to have some kind of meaning.
After thinking about it for a long time, I still don’t understand.
All I can say is: "The Taoist Lord must have deep meaning."
In this world, it seems that whatever Daojun Kongchen does, even if he sneezes, can be explained by this sentence.
Alan Tuo led a monkey and began his journey eastward to seek scriptures through the wind, sand and dust.
Traveling thousands of miles, there are many demon caves and demon kingdoms along the way, and no caravan from the Central Plains dares to go this way.
On the road, this monkey really came in handy.
When Alanduo accidentally fell into the devil's cave and was trapped by the kingdom of demons.
The monkey sacrificed his life to save his life, preventing him from starving to death in the devil's cave.
Some people in later generations extended this meaning to mean that this monkey is Aranda's inner demon, or the Buddha's heart, so the chain that binds this monkey has the seal of suppressing demons.
This town is not filled with monsters, but Aranda's inner demons.
It is even said that this monkey symbolizes the inner demons of all living beings in the entire Western Region.
Only on the way to enlightenment can Alan Tuo change the Buddha's mind to the Tao mind and be reborn.
It also indicates that during this journey to the east, Alan Tuo has seen through the essence of the Western Regions and Buddhism, and has achieved complete enlightenment.
Retrieve the true scriptures, conquer the evil spirits in the Western Regions, and relieve the suffering of all living beings in the Western Regions.
