Chapter 939 Another disaster
Chapter 939 Another disaster
"This trip to the West is nothing more than two kinds of suffering. One is the inner demon, which makes me feel terrified, afraid, and retreat." Chen Xuanzang said.
"The other kind is the external demon, which is nothing more than a means of thunder protecting the Tao. Vajra Bodhi beat the sage, which was hindered by the practice of Shakyamuni Buddha's devil kings in the past."
"Since I have already set off, I am vajra, and I have no transfer. I have to pass this city. No matter what kind of demons or ghosts he has."
Monk Bajie also said, "Jinghe Dragon Lord, my teacher, Venerable Qinglong, killed you, but he has also reshaped your body. Why bother complaining here?"
The white horse transformed by Dragon Lord of Jinghe snorted and hummed.
When a group of people entered Gaochang Kingdom, they only saw that the people on the road were depressed, but it was indeed a Buddha country. There were many Buddhist caves, Buddhist temples, and some monks in white robes walked on the road.
When the people saw it, they bowed their heads and knelt down.
When the monks in white saw Bajie and his party, they seemed extraordinary, they took the initiative to stop him: "Where are the monks coming from? I, the king of Gaochang, love the most to treat the guests with gifts from monks and treat the guests with gifts."
"We are monks from the Tang Dynasty in the East. We want to go to the West to seek the true scriptures and pass by the treasure land of your country."
"Monks from the Tang Dynasty?" The monks were surprised when they saw it: "I heard that the Tang Dynasty in the East has been besieged by the Turks, and the domestic wars have continued to end. The rituals and music have been broken. The monks lost to the Taoist priests in their defense, but it is true?"
Chen Xuanzang nodded: "This has happened several years ago. Now the territory of the Tang Dynasty has basically been peaceful, and I, Buddhists, have a better way out."
"Oh? Is that?" The monk from Gaochang seemed to have a sense of superiority and spoke: "I, Gaochang, have 100,000 people, have a vast land, and have several cities under my jurisdiction. There is no war of war or disaster for the law."
"Does the monk think it is better for the Tang Dynasty or my Gaochang State?"
Monk Bajie smiled: "When Zhang Qian opened up the Western Regions, the envoy once asked, "Who is the great Han Dynasty or Yelang? I will listen to it as a fable. I don't want to see the real thing today."
The monk Gaochang Kingdom did not know the allusion of Yelang's arrogance, but only thought that his family was the best, but instead thought that the Tang Dynasty was a countryside.
Conscious and generous.
I originally wanted to entertain foreign monks, but now I have inexplicably become a comparative person.
It can be seen that where there are people, there are no names and desires.
The monk from Gaochang led a group of people to meet the officials.
When the officials saw the monk, they were very respectful. They recited the monks several times and the Buddha's name several times.
Seeing Bajie, Xuanzang and others, he was very amazed: "Sure enough, the Buddha's bones are not like the people of the small countries in the Western Regions. I recite the Buddha's name every day, and I think about rebirth in the Middle Earth, the rich land of the Tang Dynasty. Today I meet the monks of the Tang Dynasty, and I also wish to bless you."
"But I also heard that there are many fairy mountains and blessed land in the middle of the earth. I also asked to give you a fairy recipe for health preservation and prolonging life..."
But he was extremely pious. This official obviously had some knowledge, and had some experiences than the previous two monks.
It’s just that the former is arrogant and the latter is complimentary. Compared with the two, it is a bit ridiculous.
The group of people is not sad about themselves or happy about things. There are no turbulent moods.
The local monk was not angry when he secretly competed with him. The official was flattering and arrogant, but just helped the official up.
"Come up quickly. The Buddha said that all beings are equal, why should you worship me? Why should you ask me? If you seek me, you will prove yourself." Chen Xuanzang was also educated by Li Dandao once before.
It’s just that it’s not about being loyal, but about Li Dandao’s “Mahayana heretic Buddhism” in Zhuque Street and Qinglong Temple in Chang’an.
Even the internal alchemy methods are often studied. Therefore, Chen Xuanzang said that he went to the West to seek the true scriptures, but in fact, it was just like Sakyamuni. He had to suddenly realize under the Bodhi tree and seek it from the heart.
At that time, whether it is Buddha, Tao, or Confucianism, they will be digested into the inner world.
Since then, new Buddhism will also appear, and new Taoism and new Confucianism, you have me and I.
If you can’t say that you can suddenly realize and become a Buddha, you will be able to understand the three teachings.
The Buddha turned into a golden immortal, and the golden immortal also became a sage.
After settling down here, before resting, monks from other temples immediately became available. When they heard that the monks from the Tang Dynasty came here, they wanted to exchange and debate.
Among these small countries, the divine power of Buddhism is higher than that of the royal power, and they are the first-class Buddhist countries. Most of them understand Hinayana Buddhism. They rarely hear Mahayana Buddhism, let alone the Buddhism of Mahayana heretics.
After several debates, Bajie and Chen Xuanzang convinced almost all the famous monks in Gaochang Kingdom to the debate.
A large number of monks were willing to be two disciples, guardians, follow them, and go to the West to seek sutras.
During the Tang Dynasty, there was such a thing, and many times, thousands of monks volunteered to join, but now, there are not many people in the group.
There is no need to persuade them to give up, they will give up if they try it themselves.
Just a group of people also alarmed Zhen Yuanzi of Wuzhuang Temple in Wanshou Mountain here.
I saw that there was an oasis on the edge of this country, in a large desert, and above the oasis, there was a fairy family temple.
The auspicious light is auspicious, the cranes sing and deer are walking, there are many immortal grass and spiritual roots, and there are seven hundred fairy children, eight hundred jade girls, nine hundred Qian Dao, and six hundred Kun Dao, and a total of three thousand disciples and disciples.
In this temple, there is a different cave, and I saw that it was like the fairyland of the Heavenly Palace, with a jade tree that was two people growing in height.
The branches and trunks are green, just like jasper, and the leaves are pure gold, which is a treasure tree.
On the treasure tree, there are many things like umbilical cords and placenta, but they are not bloody, just like a lotus, with a baby covered in it.
These babies are all innate bodies of Taoism, perfect and complete with all fortunes, and are not ordinary roots.
A middle-aged Taoist sat under the tree, but he saw that he had a wide skeleton, a baby face, long beard and beard, which was Zhen Yuanzi.
Zhen Yuanzi has achieved success in cultivating the spiritual roots of creation, and has established a school here, which has been cleansed.
Since then, all the immortals from the Three Islands and Ten Continents have been made, and they even attended the Peach Banquet and presented ginseng fruit to the Queen Mother of the West.
At the last Dragon Palace Wanbao Conference, when Li Dandao was holding the Eight Immortals Banquet, he also saw ginseng fruits circulating into Donghai Fang City.
Eating this fruit can prolong life by 480 years.
In the Heavenly Palace, the supply of Queen Mother's peaches has long been reduced, so many gods and gods are about to die. There is no way to prolong their life, so they can only turn disasters on earth, cultivate merit and return to heaven.
Therefore, Zhen Yuanzi became a hot commodity.
The ancients said they had longevity at the age of seventy, which has been rare since ancient times.
Therefore, the judgment of humans and immortals is that they have no disease and their life spans.
How much does this last? Generally speaking, if you can live to the age of ninety and die without success, you will be a human being.
What is the judging criteria for the earth immortal? In addition to the five energy and three flowers, another point is longevity.
The limit of mortals who are over 120 years old, live to 14, 16, and 200 years old... These are all earth immortals...
The life span of the earth immortal also continues to grow with cultivation, but it still has a limit, just like a monster, 500-year-old demon king, a thousand-year-old demon immortal, and a great catastrophe of demon immortal...
The same is true for the earthly immortals.
This is the time for the three disasters and eight difficulties.
What kind of disaster will happen in five hundred years?
But by eating this fruit that extends your life, you can avoid disaster and continue to be free.
Therefore, Zhen Yuanzi called himself the ancestor of the earthly immortals, and wanted to compete with the Taishang Laojun for the great power of immortal Taoism and the ancestor of the sect to achieve the final transcendence.
After all, Laojun has opened up the Great Way of Heavenly Immortality. If more people practice the Great Way of Earthly Immortality opened up by Zhen Yuanzi, then they can overthrow Laojun's Taoist tradition and use this method of prolonging life and avoiding disasters to form a monopoly and control the entire world of practice.
