Chapter 1121: Void True Body, Clever Tongue
According to legend, the Buddha and the Buddhist monks lived in the Leiyin Temple in Lingshan. And Lingshan is what we often call the place of Western bliss.
Legend has it that the Xuan costume mage of the Tang Dynasty rushed to the west in order to obtain the true scriptures. In the end, after many tribulations, he finally arrived at the Leiyin Temple in Lingshan, and met the Buddha in this Leiyin Temple and obtained the true scriptures. Later, it was fabricated, and characters such as Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie were produced.
I don't want to talk about the difficulty of learning the scriptures, nor do I want to praise the merits of the figure of Master Xuangui. I'm talking about the Leiyin Temple, and the Leiyin Temple should be on top of the Lingshan Mountain.
But at this moment, why do you see it here? No need to guess, this Leiyin Temple must be fake. Bao Buqi is an imitation of these eighteen Arhats who built here in order to miss the Leiyin Temple.
No matter how many it is, let's hurry up and meet the eighteen Arhats. Thinking about it, I immediately reached out and knocked on the door. The temple door is closed, and there is a knock on the door to show respect.
"Knock knock", I knocked the door. After about three minutes, there was no response from the temple. I thought about it, then knocked on the door a few more times.
"Is anyone there? Disciple Yulong, come to visit!" I deliberately raised my voice, even if the eighteen Arhats inside were asleep, I would wake them up.
It turns out that shouting does work. With a "crunch", the temple door finally opened.
Immediately afterward, a yin wind blew in the face. Seeing this, I hurriedly recited the six-character mantra. With the rise of the Buddha's light, it gradually resisted the yin qi.
From the very beginning, I felt that there was something wrong with this Leiyin Temple. Now that the yin qi is pervasive, it seems that the eighteen arhats in this have long forgotten who they are. Although I had the heart to retreat from this place, I could only grit my teeth and move forward when I thought of the purpose of this trip.
After taking a deep breath, I finally mustered up the courage to lift my legs and walk inside. The inside of the Thunder Yin Temple was extremely dark, and even if I started the Divine Eye, the visibility was still less than ten meters. From time to time, a gust of wind blew, which made my heart beat a lot faster.
"Disciple Yulong, by the order of the Bodhisattva King of Jizo, came to meet all the Arhats. Please also show up and see the masters!"
I shouted loudly, and under the banner of Jizo King Bodhisattva, as long as they were the slightest bit afraid of Jizo King Bodhisattva, they should not be able to do anything to me.
As soon as my words fell, the dark Leiyin Temple suddenly burst into red light. Although the red light was eerie, it illuminated the entire temple.
I looked around, and then I couldn't help but be shocked. In this temple, there are countless Buddha statues. On the high platform at the front, there are only three Buddhas.
When I looked closely, one of the Buddha statues was extremely familiar. If you look closely, isn't it the person who burns the lamp?
I thought to myself for a moment, and then it dawned on me. These three Buddhas must be the three Buddhas often said in Buddhism.
The one on the left with a big belly and a smile on his face should be the famous Maitreya Buddha. The middle one is the Buddha, and the one on the right should be the ancient Buddha of the lamp burning the Taoist.
In Western religion, there are only three Buddhas. Among them, the ancient Buddha of the lamp is the Buddha of the past, that is, the Buddha of the deceased; after his death, the Buddha of the Buddha became the Buddha, called the modern Buddha, and at this time Maitreya should be the Bodhisattva, after the death of the Buddha, when the Maitreya became the Buddha, called the future Buddha.
Therefore, in this way, there will be three major Buddhas.
Under the seat of the three Buddhas, there are eight people standing, and these eight people should be the eight great bodhisattvas mentioned in the Buddhist scriptures.
The eight bodhisattvas are Jizo King Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva, Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, Pugen Bodhisattva, Vajrapani Bodhisattva, Maitreya Bodhisattva, Hindrance Bodhisattva, and Void Tibetan Bodhisattva.
I stared at the Eight Great Bodhisattvas, and suddenly my whole body trembled. What I didn't expect was that among the eight bodhisattvas, I actually saw an acquaintance. This person is my friend of life and death, Void Monk!
Could it be that he is really a bodhisattva in the West? When he was in the demon realm, the demon ancestor once doubted it, but he did not get the Void Monk's personal acknowledgement. Entering this Lei Yin Temple today, I can finally be sure of this. But what kind of bodhisattva is he?
These eight bodhisattvas, it is not difficult to separate. The four well-known bodhisattvas are the easiest to distinguish, Maitreya and Vajrapani also have their own unique characteristics, and the remaining two bodhisattvas are the Bodhisattva of Removing Obstacles and the Bodhisattva of Void Tibet.
Judging from the Buddha's name, I am afraid that the Void Monk is this Void Tibetan Pusa.
I came here to find the Eighteen Arhats, but I didn't expect to accidentally discover the true identity of the Void Monk. It seems that a qiē is destined in the dark.
I sighed and continued to check. In addition to the eight bodhisattvas, there are 18 arhats plus 500 arhats in Western religion.
The Eighteen Arhats are the Eighteen Venerables, and their status is higher than that of ordinary Arhats. There are so many monks in this Leiyin Temple that I naturally can't identify them all, but I just need to find the eighteen Arhats inside.
I looked around, and finally locked on the location of the eighteen Arhats. These eighteen arhats are located after the five hundred arhats, and if you don't identify them carefully, it's really easy to ignore.
I approached the stone statue of the Eighteen Arhats, and then saluted respectfully: "Disciple Yulong, meet the Eighteen Arhats!"
Although I am so polite, these eighteen arhats still do not move. If they let me enter the Lei Yin Temple, why did they avoid it? What is the reason?
Could it be that they are testing my Buddha nature? If so, I might as well come and recite a Diamond Sutra, and maybe I will be accepted by them.
Thinking of this, I sat down cross-legged, then folded my hands and said, "The cause of the puja is the first, if I hear it, the Buddha is in the country for a while, the Gishu is in the garden of solitude, and the great bhikshus are ...... with 1,250 people."
With the recitation of the Diamond Sutra, my state of mind gradually calmed down, and my body and mind became extraordinarily relaxed.
Before I knew it, my Vajra Lotus platform automatically flew out of my dantian, and finally appeared under me and lifted me up.
The Vajra Lotus Platform appeared, and I recited the Diamond Sutra, and the Buddha light on my body became stronger and stronger. Until the end, the Buddha's light actually covered the entire temple.
Immediately after, the melodious sound of chanting Buddha automatically sounded, and it was not until this moment that I was willing to believe that this was a Buddhist temple. The appearance of the Buddha's light immediately repelled the red magic light in the temple, and immediately after, dense cracks appeared on the statues of the ten Arhats.
"Bang bang bang" Several broken sounds sounded together, and the eighteen Arhats finally showed their true bodies. Eighteen people opened their eyes, and finally all eyes fell on me.
As soon as I came into contact with this strange gaze, I hurriedly stopped chanting. "Venerable Ones, the disciples are polite!" As I spoke, I took the Vajra Lotus Platform into my body and bowed respectfully to them.
Eighteen people stared at me a few times, and then laughed to themselves. Their laughter made me feel a little overwhelmed.
"Venerables, why are you laughing?" the eighteen still did not respond, and continued to laugh.
As their laughter rang out, the red magic light that I had suppressed just now made a comeback, and in a few breaths it reoccupied the entire temple.
After the magic light was filled, the eighteen people stopped laughing. One of the contemplative arhats was the first to speak, "Boy, you are a person sent by the Buddha, right?
Kill them all?
I hurriedly shook my head and opened my mouth to explain, "Venerables, you have misunderstood. I'm not a Buddhist, I just know how to read Buddhist scriptures, and I came to you to ask you to do me a favor. ”
Hearing this, the contemplative Arhat snorted coldly and said, "If you are not a disciple of the Buddha Sect, how can you have a lotus throne? Do you really think that we are so easy to be deceived? Boy, no matter what the purpose of your coming here is, since you are here today, don't think about leaving alive." ”
As soon as the words fell, these eighteen arhats got up at the same time and instantly surrounded me. I wanted to recite Buddhist scriptures to increase their affection for me, but now it turns out to be counterproductive.
I also regret it when I think about it, they are all evil thoughts, and there is no Buddha in their hearts for a long time. Isn't it self-defeating to recite Buddhist scriptures now?
"Your Holiness is angry, although the disciples are related to the Buddha, they are really not among the Buddhas. Tell me the truth, I ...... I also hate Buddha. Buddhism is full of universal sentient beings and compassion, but there are not so many people in the world who have died unexpectedly, and so many people have suffered. I am the same as all of you, a person who has been abandoned by Buddhism. So I ...... I hope to be able to work with all of you to become enemies of the Buddha and become demons!"
Having said so many things against my will, if I can't break the deadlock, then there is no point in me staying in this temple.
Eighteen people heard this, although they did not continue to move, but they still had that hideous smile on their faces.
"Boy, since you said that you are willing to be the enemy of the Buddha, then set out now to smash the Buddha statue, and the people in the Buddha will never do anything disobedient to the Buddha statue. As long as you break the Buddha statue, we will believe in you. ”
When I heard this, I immediately smiled and said, "As soon as it's a trivial matter, I'll do it." With that, I raised my legs and walked directly to the Buddha statue.
I had no choice but to dispel their hostility towards me. Approaching the Buddha statue, I silently recited Amitabha Buddha in my heart, and then I used the true qi in my body and slammed it out with a punch. I only heard a few loud bangs, and all three Buddha statues were smashed by me.
Looking at the rubble on the ground, I immediately turned around. "Venerables, believe me this time, right?"
When the eighteen arhats heard this, they immediately looked at each other. At this moment, the Dragon Descending Arhat opened his mouth and asked, "Tell me, what are you looking for us for? It's not to show your demonic heart, is it?"
As soon as I heard this, I breathed a sigh of relief. But if they want them to help as thugs, they will definitely not agree. But what can I say otherwise?
After pondering for a while, I suddenly had an idea, and then I said in a loud voice, "Venerables, I know that you have an enmity with the Buddha, and so do I. What I hate most is the Bodhisattva of the Buddha Gate, the King of the Earth, who tricked me into this place in order to trap me forever. Therefore, the real purpose of my coming here is to join forces with you to get rid of the Jizo King Bodhisattva in the Nineteenth Layer of Hell!"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the eighteen Arhats showed surprise. Will they believe me? Will Jizo King Bodhisattva really show up? Stay tuned for the next chapter!
