Chapter 371 Chapter 371 Heavenly King Palace
Chapter 371 Chapter 371 Temple of the Heavenly King
Qi Ze only glanced at it once, then gave up without entering any of the palaces, saying: "Don't keep Master Guixing waiting for a long time, let's go to the abbot's room!"
According to Buddhist rules, the monastery where the abbot lives was originally called the abbot, and later evolved into the name of the abbot in the temple. The abbot's monastery is in the deepest part of the Mahabodhi Temple. It is not convenient to use the Buddha's Light Escape Technique in the temple. Only two people can walk around on their feet.
It took a stick of incense to walk away.
After passing the Dragon Elephant Palace, there is a piece of Xihuang in front of you. Because it is the cold winter, the branches and leaves are withered and yellow, and the wind blows rhythmically, which has its own wonderful rhythm, which is also a lot of fun.
The abbot where Master Que Xing lives is very small, with only one monastery, only eight or nine steps long, all made of bamboo joints. Before Qi Ze could get closer, he saw Master Que Xing standing outside the monastery with a smile on his face, busy.
He took two steps forward, clasped his hands and said, "Junior has seen the master!"
Master Guixing saw no vision at all, but he had already seen through the camouflage of the Hundred-Phase Diagram, and said: "I was not wrong. The donor is indeed destined to be my Buddha and has deep wisdom! I have to thank Master Tianjizi!"
Qi Ze knew at a glance that he had seen through his inability to conquer the Vajra Power, and said: "This junior is practicing the Incompetent Vajra Power. There are many things that are unclear. I was about to ask the abbot for advice! But now that there are many demons around, it seems to be an inappropriate time.
?”
Master Peeping laughed and said: "Donor, don't worry too much. After all, this temple is an authentic Buddhist sect. Although it takes compassion as its main purpose and pursues the purpose of pure cultivation, it is not something that evil demons and heretics can peep into. When I saw the donor, I felt happy. The donor has
If you have any questions, just ask them and I will answer them all!"
Qi Ze followed the spy into the monastery, sat down on the futon, and said: "I heard from Luo Hai that masters from the Demon Refining Sect, the Five Poison Sect, and the Yinshan Sect came to rescue the demons suppressing the temple, and they came here to help.
!" He said and took out the ancient lantern.
Master Qi Xing took it with both hands, gently rubbed the Buddha lamp, and sighed: "This treasure is the treasure of Nalanda Temple to suppress luck. The first ancestor of this temple also had the opportunity to hold it when he was practicing Buddhism in Nalanda Temple.
After a period of time, unfortunately, things changed and people fell into the hands of the donor. It was due to fate! Originally, I should not have had this idea, but I was in a hurry and had no choice but to borrow this treasure one more time!"
Qi Ze said: "Since it is a sacred object of Buddhism, it should be used to its fullest purpose to suppress the demons. Master, there is no need to be polite. It is a pity that this object fell into my hands and has been sacrificed and refined for several years, but it has never been able to restore its old outlook."
Master Qi Xing smiled and said: "The Buddha Fire Heart Lamp is the treasure inherited from Nalanda Temple. Only the abbot and abbot can use it freely in the past. I am afraid that only the great Buddhist Bodhisattva with the magical power can refining it to perfection."
."
Qi Ze said in surprise: "I see, this junior is overestimating his own abilities!"
Master Qi Xing said: "The day before yesterday in Fulong Mountain, Lao Na once said that if the donor wants to learn the follow-up skills of Xiaoxiang Zen Kungfu, he can come to our temple to read the Mahaprajna Nirvana Sutra. This sutra is one of the four major teachings of Nalanda Temple.
One is the authentic inheritance of Buddhism, which contains the holy conduct, the true nature of the Tathagata, and the illuminations of light. You can practice and realize nirvana with remnants and nirvana without remnants according to this sutra, and obtain the fruit of Buddhahood. Or you can turn to the power of the incompetent Vajra to seek it.
To get the right result, I wonder what the donor plans to do?"
Qi Ze said: "To be honest, I don't have a plan yet. Now that I have come to the Mahabodhi Temple, I have to ask for the Mahaprajna Nirvana Sutra. Also, when I practice and am unable to defeat the power of Vajra, any changes will occur.
Let’s ask Master together!” As he spoke, he slapped the top door, and the nine-story pagoda jumped out. The Buddha’s light stirred, and he revealed that the Incompetent Vajra Power method contained the magic power of Zen Master Yue Hui, and what happened when he saw Yue Hui and Yueshu talking late at night.
Master Qi Xing is the abbot of the Mahabodhi Temple. He has attained the Arahant realm and has countless thoughts. He has long eliminated the three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance. He has not even been tempted to take the Buddha's Fire Heart Lamp as his own. Qi Ze naturally trusts him very much.
After hearing this, Master Qi Xing nodded and said, "The fact that the donor can tell such secrets to me shows his honesty, and I have no choice but to explain the secrets to the donor."
Qi Ze perked up and said, "Master, you really know the ins and outs of this?"
Master Qi Xing said: "Zen Master Yuehui is known as the ancestor of the resurgence of Nalanda Temple. The founder of our temple also traveled with him, so there are many records in his notes. As for Zen Master Yueshu, the same is true.
The elder of Mingwangtang of Nalanda Temple practiced the magical power of dragon and elephant to achieve the state of Arhat. His magic power is profound. Only now do I know that Master Tianjizi has chosen the incompetent and victorious Vajra power for you. You must have the ability that you knew before, and your Taoism is beyond compare.
There are so many old men!"
Qi Ze said: "Why does the incompetent Vajra power turn into the form of a nine-story pagoda?"
Master Qi Xing said: "If I read it correctly, the donor must be practicing the Nine Consciousnesses of Buddhism?"
Qi Ze's heart suddenly jumped out. The Buddhist method of Nine Consciousnesses was the way of Buddhism in the past life. It is known as the most extraordinary path. It points directly to the true nature of the Tathagata Store. He didn't know why Qi Xing asked this question, so he nodded and said: "Exactly!
Ever since I started practicing Xiao Wuxiang Chan Kung Fu, I somehow managed to achieve the five senses of eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body one after another, and gained a magical power in each realm. However, I have to survive a demonic calamity, which can be said to be full of dangers."
Master Qi Xing said: "It is recorded in the notes of the first ancestor that after Zen Master Yue Hui re-deduce the Xiaowuxiang Zen Kung Fu, it became the real foundation of Nalanda Temple. Everyone in the temple practiced it, but Zen Master Yue Hui especially did not
Satisfied, although the small formless Zen practice is good, it is also a heretic practice. I want to find a different path and create another method that is truly a direct line of Buddhism, is not weaker than the six magical powers to protect the teachings, and points directly to the supreme enlightenment.
, this is the method of nine consciousnesses."
Qi Ze's mind suddenly moved, and he remembered the words from the sutras he had read in his previous life, and said: "The method of meditation is indeed a non-Buddhist practice. After cultivating the Four Zen and Eight Concentrations, even if you have magical powers with you, you still cannot be liberated. You must enter the cessation of cessation and realize that there is no remainder.
Only Nirvana can be achieved. This cessation of cessation is the authentic method of Zen concentration in Buddhism. Unfortunately, the state of this concentration is too high and too difficult. The person who enters it is already an Arhat, and all sentient beings cannot practice it at all. Therefore, the methods of the Four Zen and Eight Concentrations are added and passed on layer by layer.
Advancing is a helpless move and a trick."
Master Qi Xing was surprised and said: "If the donor can make such a conclusion, he is really a disciple of the Buddha!"
Qi Ze had no choice but to say: "It's not the opinion of the younger generation, it's the natural realization when practicing the Small Formless Zen Technique!"
Master Qi Xing said: "The donor's ability to realize this matter is indeed related to this method of incompetent vajra power! How difficult it is for Zen Master Yue Hui to recreate a method that directly points to the supreme enlightenment. At that time, Nalanda Temple had already
There were signs of decline, and demons from outside the area were watching. The donor saw the two elders Yue Hui and Yueshu arguing, because Zen Master Yueshu did not want Zen Master Yuehui to be distracted, but he saw something different."
Qi Ze said: "But Zen Master Yuehui did not create the perfect method of nine consciousnesses in the end. Otherwise, there would not be only five levels of small phaseless Zen skills spread in the world?"
Master Qi Xing said: "Yes! Yue Hui and Yueshu were the two supreme elders of Nalanda Temple at that time. They had different ideas and differences, which had a great influence on Nalanda Temple. The first ancestor also came forward to mediate.
It is a pity that the first ancestor soon realized the opportunity and returned to China. As for what happened next in Nalanda Temple, it has never been found in the notes."
"The power of the Incompetent Vajra is not complete in this world. Maybe Zen Master Yue Hui wants to create the method of nine consciousnesses on top of this method. Otherwise, it will not leave the imprint of magic power in the nine-story pagoda. As for the truth, it is unclear.
Got it."
Qi Ze nodded and said: "That's it!" Thinking of the past life, the method of nine consciousnesses is the fundamental teaching of the Consciousness Only Sect. It has complete methods and exquisite principles. Unfortunately, he has not fully read the foundation of the Consciousness Only Sect, so he is very ignorant of the method of the Nine Consciousnesses.
, couldn’t help but regret it extremely.
Qi Ze thought for a while and then said: "This junior also has a Buddhist magical weapon that I want Master Abbot to take a look at!" He stretched out his hand and a scroll of fifty evil demons from the nine-story pagoda flew into his hand.
When Master Guixing saw the fifty Yin Demon Pictures, his expression changed slightly and he said, "It's actually this thing!" With a finger, the Yin Demon Picture flew into the air and swirled faintly.
Qi Ze collected four fragments of the Fifty Yin Demon Pictures and put them together. Now it is several feet in size and has a faint brilliance. It looks like a roll of tanned animal skin. Qi Ze said: "This thing was obtained accidentally by this junior.
, I spent a lot of effort one after another, and almost came into conflict with people from Zhuanlun Temple in the Western Regions for this object." Then he explained the ins and outs of this object, focusing on the two brothers Hamen Haduo.
Master Guixing sighed and said: "This treasure map of subduing demons is also related to the secrets of Nalanda Temple back then. The donor was able to get this map. What a mysterious opportunity!"
Qi Ze asked: "What's the story of this treasure map of subduing demons? Master, please give me some advice!"
Master Qi Xing said: "Nalanda Temple sits in this world and spreads Buddhism, so that all living beings have the opportunity to escape the cycle of life and death. This also attracts the jealousy of the demons. Therefore, countless demons have gathered outside this world since many kalpas ago.
He wanted to destroy the Buddhist tradition. At that time, the Nalanda Temple was at its peak, so he was not afraid at all, so the abbot summoned the masters and elders in the temple to jointly worship and release this treasure map of subduing demons."
"This treasure is taken from Buddhism to open up the essence of the Buddhist kingdom in the void. It forms a world of its own, and is exclusively used to suppress and capture the demons outside the territory. With this treasure, Nalanda Temple has actually suppressed countless demons, not to mention the demon master level.
Countless, even the Great Heavenly Demons of the Impermanent Tribulation level have been imprisoned."
"This picture is imprinted with immeasurable Buddhist teachings. When the demons enter, they will be enlightened and liberated by Buddhism day and night. It is indeed the treasure that the demons hate the most. Unfortunately, because of this, when Nalanda Temple suffered a calamity, countless demons also destroyed it first.
With the goal of getting rid of this treasure, this treasure map of subduing demons fell into countless pieces, which is reasonable."
Qi Ze's heart was moved and he said: "What Master Abbot means is that the destruction of Nalanda Temple was caused by a demonic calamity, so the legal system no longer exists?"
Master Qi Xing said: "Buddha and demons are incompatible. Buddhism saves demons, and demons and bad people practice. There is no way to escape. The destruction of Nalanda Temple is due to the calamity of demons and demons. I originally thought that the treasure map of subduing demons had suffered a calamity.
, it can never be restored. I didn’t expect that the donor would have such a predestined relationship. I think the Dharma of Nalanda Temple should be revived in the hands of the donor. Otherwise, Zen Master Yuehui’s small phaseless Zen skills, the Buddha’s Fire Heart Lamp, and this treasure map would not be combined.
Falling into the hands of donors one after another?"
Qi Ze recalled that what Zhi Xing said was true. Whether it was the ancient lantern, the small phaseless Zen technique, or even the Fifty Yin Demon Diagrams, they were all old objects from Nalanda Temple. Once they fell into his hands,
It was definitely no accident, and he said: "If the fate is like this, I will definitely do my part!"
Master Guixing smiled and said: "This volume of treasure map of subduing demons is also collected in our temple. It was obtained by the elders of the past generations who traveled far and wide. It is broken and disorganized. Today, it seems that this opportunity will still fall on the benefactor.
.The so-called borrowing flowers to offer to the Buddha, I will just give them to the donor!"
Qi Ze was surprised and happy, and said: "Thank you so much, Master Abbot!" Master Guixing pointed with his hand, and suddenly a ray of light flew in from outside the monastery, and there were several fragments inside, and in an instant it was with that
Fifty Yin Demon Pictures in One.
The Fifty Yin Demon Pictures were fragmented, and they were one point closer to the state of perfection. Qi Ze pointed with his hand, and the Fifty Yin Demon Pictures were still taken back to the nine-story pagoda to be warmed, and he said: "What should this Demon-Conquering Treasure Map be like?"
Sacrifice and refining, please give me some instructions, Master!"
Master Qi Xing said with a smile: "The method of sacrificing this treasure has been lost long ago, but I see that the donor is not using the authentic Buddhist method to sacrifice, so why bother to ask me? Well, Elder Yue Hui put it aside in advance. Now that the donor has arrived,
You can first read the Mahaprajna Nirvana Sutra collected by this temple, maybe it will be of some benefit!"
Qi Ze knew in his heart that Master Peeping had already seen that he had imprinted the power of the Shurangama Mantra in the Fifty Yin Demon Pictures, but he did not ask any more questions. In this case, there was no need to mention it deliberately. He stood up and bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, Master Abbot! This is
The Buddha's Fire Heart Lamp will be temporarily kept in the master's hands until this evil tribulation is over, and it will not be too late to return it to me!"
Master Qi Xing smiled and said, "Thank you so much, donor!" He called Luo Hai and said, "Take donor Qi to the Palace of Heavenly Kings to read the Mahaprajna Nirvana Sutra, and then go find the head of the Vajra Division and listen to his orders."
Monk Luo Hai accepted the order. At that moment, Qi Ze said goodbye to Master Qi Xing and went to the Palace of Heavenly Kings. He had a secret conversation with Qi Xing. Luo Hai was waiting outside the monastery and did not know the content of the conversation. He asked himself: "Master Qi, have you ever
Asked about the path to upward spiritual practice?"
Qi Ze said: "I still have no clue. Let's first refer to the Mahaprajna Nirvana Sutra and see if we can understand any Buddhist principles from it!"
"The Mahaprajna Nirvana Sutra" is enshrined in the Heavenly King's Hall. The two came to a large hall. The outside of the hall was very deserted and there were only a few people around. Luo Hai said: "The Heavenly King's Hall is in charge of the precepts and punishments in the temple. Everyone is afraid of it. It is like this usually.
."
Qi Ze didn't take it seriously. The door of the Heavenly King's Palace opened, and there were two monks sitting cross-legged inside. They thought it was for guarding purposes. When Monk Luo Hai walked in, one of the monks suddenly opened his eyes and said, "It turns out it's Luo Hai."
Senior Brother Hai!"
Luo Haidao: "On the order of the abbot, I brought this senior brother Yuanxin here to read the Mahaprajna Nirvana Sutra. Please be accommodating!"
The monk made a sound and said: "Did the abbot actually agree to pass on the Mahaprajna Nirvana Sutra to the disciples outside the temple? It is very strange! Since the abbot has an order, you should obey it! Please!" After saying this, his eyes closed again.
Go up, completely indifferent.
It was inconvenient for Luo Hai to say "Master Qi" in front of them, so he said to Qi Ze: "Please!"
Qi Ze said: "Thank you two senior brothers!" He stepped into the palace of the Heavenly King.
Chapter completed!
