Volume 6 Journey to the West Chapter 102 Five Elements Mountain, Monkey King!-(Second Update, Ask for a Monthly Pass!)
This is today's second update, and it is also 3,000 words, or the old saying, a strong request for subscription, a strong request for a monthly pass, and a request for power, staying up late today, there will be a third watch.
The cobblestone and cement pavement, on both sides of the pavement, are three-storey buildings in the style of a courtyard.
A monk with his eyebrows beating his chest and a snow-white beard, wearing a robe, walked down the street step by step, and slowly came to an unusually magnificent and luxurious mansion.
Along the way, it is unimpeded, and I don't see it.
In the hall, King Tang sat on the upper seat, Yang Qifeng sat under him, and the old monk walked into it slowly.
That Hubu Shangshu didn't come in, he had completed his mission at this moment, whether it was Tang Wang or Yang Qifeng, they had already ignored him.
is really good-looking, Yang Qifeng wants to admit that this old monk, regardless of temperament or appearance, is the best choice.
The white beard beats his chest, his face shows compassion, and he looks compassionate, a good monk.
With a solemn expression, King Tang, who had an unhappy face, looked a little relieved when he saw this one.
"Where did the monk come from?" said Tang Wang directly and loudly.
"Amitabha,"
"The poor monk came from the White Horse Temple," the old monk folded his hands, directly recited the Buddha's name, and then opened his mouth to preach.
"The senior monk is not meditating in the White Horse Temple, why did he come to Chang'an City?" Tang Wang said, but you are not welcome, although the unhappy color is a little slow, but still not affected by this old monk to the point of meeting, like a relative.
"The poor monk came the next time, but he had something to ask the king," the old monk was extremely polite. didn't play tricks, and said directly.
"The White Horse Temple is a sacred place for Buddhism. Nothing can be solved, the widow is just a mortal. How can it be solved, the senior monk still asks back, "Tang Wang didn't plan to listen to what this old monk had to say, and he raised his hand directly to get rid of people."
"The king is slow, let's listen to what is going on with this monk," Yang Qifeng opened his mouth and pleaded for this monk, of course, this was not discovered by Yang Qifeng's conscience, but the old monk's divine thoughts hooked up with Yang Qifeng. Benefits were promised to him.
In layman's terms, Yang Qifeng has now been bought.
It's no wonder that Yang Qifeng is so undisciplined, who let this old monk's price be too high, Yang Qifeng was directly moved, and there was no room for consideration and refusal.
A lotus seed, this is the benefit that the old monk gave to Yang Qifeng, and the condition is to let the Tang King allow his request.
Without hesitation, Yang Qifeng sold Tang Wang, this lotus seed sounds ordinary, but you have to know what the other party is holding. It is not an ordinary product, but it is conceived in the pool of eight treasures of merit.
The Eight Treasures Merit Pool is the treasure of Buddhism, which is the power of merit and faith as the pool water, and ordinary people invade and soak once. Immediately wash away the mortal body and turn into an immortal fetus, and the immortal can also cultivate a leakless body, and the end is the place of great creation.
The lotus platform where many bodhisattvas and Buddhas in the West sit today is the lotus platform that evolved from this lotus seed.
Listen to it this way. I know that lotus seeds are extremely precious, but if they are too precious. It is impossible for the old monk to give Yang Qifeng as a reward, in fact, although this lotus seed is precious, the value is not too high, because if you want to let this lotus seed evolve into a lotus platform, there are many difficulties, you must know that the nutrients that this lotus seed needs are merit and luck, only these two things can make the lotus seed grow, so it is extremely important for the lotus seed to be cultivated.
And in order for this lotus seed to play a role, it is necessary to let it take root and sprout, and finally turn into a first-class lotus platform.
"Say, what is the matter with the widow?" Tang Wang attached great importance to Yang Qifeng's opinion, and did not feel the slightest displeasure, but said in a deep voice.
"Please order the king to thoroughly investigate the baby boy born in the last three days," the old monk said.
"What are you going to do as a demon monk, I heard that there is a demon method that specializes in devouring babies to cultivate, have you also cultivated this kind of demon method as a demon monk," Tang Wang's tone became stern, and a pair of eyes stared at the old monk fiercely.
Yang Qifeng on the side, sighed in his heart, demons, have already let the world be corrupted, as long as it is linked to the demon, all of them are not good things, this should say poison law, or magic, the word demon law, listening to Yang Qifeng's ears, it is really extremely harsh.
The old monk didn't have any excuse, his eyelids drooped, he was not shocked, Yang Qifeng knew that it was time for him to speak out at this moment, take people's money and eliminate disasters with people, Yang Qifeng's reputation has always been very good, he opened his mouth directly and said, "The king misunderstood, the monk said this, but to find out the Buddha,"
"Amitabha, as the national teacher said, my Buddha Rulai's second disciple Jin Chan has recently been reincarnated, and the poor monk is looking for the Buddha,"
"Please also ask the king to give orders to help," the old monk said after Yang Qifeng's words.
"The Tang Dynasty is vast, the land occupied is more than thousands of miles, the people under its command, thousands of thousands, all investigated, the project is huge, the cost of gold and silver is as much, it needs to be cared for, the monk please return, this matter is important, and the widow needs to think about it,"
"Please also ask the king to consider it solemnly,"
"The old monk of Amitabha Buddha said goodbye," the old monk folded his hands, bowed very respectfully, and then turned around and left slowly, before leaving, he glanced at Yang Qifeng, and the meaning was correct, that is, it was up to Yang Qifeng next.
One hand was opened, and then it was held tightly, and the lotus seed the size of a thumb was held in Yang Qifeng's hand.
When it comes to defense treasures, the innate Five Elements Flag is the first in the world, but there are countless treasures second, and the Lotus Platform in the West can account for one of them.
The lotus platform is extremely useful, not only can it be used as a defense treasure, but it can also help in cultivation.
"How about the national teacher, do you want to agree to that monk," Tang Wang watched the old monk leave, waved his hand and repulsed left and right, only him and Yang Qifeng were left in the hall, and then he opened his mouth to ask Yang Qifeng.
"The king can agree," Yang Qifeng said directly and decisively.
He stood up and walked a few steps, and continued to speak, "The king should know four words from other Taoists, and the Buddha is prosperous,"
"Buddhism is very prosperous, few people have heard of this, its literal meaning, Buddhism is going to flourish in the world, and the specific meaning is also to be explained in detail by the national teacher?"
"These four words are what the king understands, but these four words must be accompanied by four words, a total of eight characters,"
"Buddhism is flourishing, and Buddhism is spreading east," Yang Qifeng said slowly.
"But the east is spread to the South Toad Continent," Tang Wang is not a fool, Yang Qifeng's prompt is so obvious, how can he not know, and said directly.
"Yes, it is the South Toad Continent, and the East Earth is its most important place,"
"How is this good, my Datang is a descendant of the saint Miao, and I have always believed in Taoism, if Buddhism spreads eastward, wouldn't my Datang bear the brunt," Tang Wang's face was difficult to see,
In his opinion, it is impossible for the Tang Dynasty to abandon Taoism and believe in Buddhism, after all, they are descendants of saints and Miao, and they are usually prominent and admired by Taoism, but this also restricts them to death, Taishang is the ancestor of Taoism, they are their descendants, how can they abandon Taoism and believe in Buddhism,
Therefore, Buddhism is flourishing, Buddhism is spreading eastward, and the first to bear the brunt is the Tang Dynasty, when they have just exterminated the anti-Song Dynasty, they may once again be attacked by other countries that believe in Buddhism.
This is a battle between Buddhism and Taoism, and because Buddhism is flourishing, as a Taoist side, their chances of winning are extremely slim.
"Don't worry, the king is prosperous, but Nanchanbuzhou is the territory of the Daomen after all, and its foundation is located, although the Buddhism will retreat and shrink the power, but some of its foundations will never be allowed to be lost,"
"The king doesn't have to worry too much, as long as the king is impartial, whether it is Taoism or Buddhism, they are all treated equally, Datang will not have a problem, not to mention, there are great merits, after all, Buddhism does not value the mortal world, but those famous mountains and rivers, caves and blessed land, the first to bear the brunt of those Taoism, not the Tang Dynasty," Yang Qifeng explained to Tang Wang.
"To put it mildly, even if Buddhism is prosperous, how much can it prosper?"
"Extinguishing the Dao,"
"That's absolutely impossible, only Dao Ancestor is here, and people who are rampant with this sentence don't dare to shout,"
"What the national teacher said is reasonable, since Buddhism is about to flourish, this matter is not easy to refuse, and the widow agreed to him," Tang Wang calmed down after Yang Qifeng's explanation, and Yang Qifeng briefly said a few words, but he returned to the palace directly, he wanted to convene many ministers to discuss this matter together, after all, to investigate the world, this is a matter that costs a lot of manpower and material resources, and it is impossible for Tang Wang to make a direct decision by himself.
Looking at the figure of King Tang leaving, the smile on Yang Qifeng's face gradually disappeared,
This Buddhism came so fast, with a menacing appearance, I want to come to Buddhism, the slogan has been shouted for almost 10,000 years, and the backlog of this breath can finally be vented.
However, if he wanted to inquire about the reincarnation of the golden cicada, Yang Qifeng sneered, it was absolutely impossible.
This Buddhism is also smart, although I don't know where the golden cicada is reincarnated, but I know the day of reincarnation, so if I continue to investigate, the goal is much narrower, and then there are some other means, it is not difficult to find out.
It's a pity that the reincarnation of the golden cicada, Yang Qifeng has seen it, and it looks like a full moon after birth, no matter who looks at it, he doesn't think that he has just been born, the time has been staggered, and the probability of being found is very low, even if it is an elder of Jinshan Temple, he just thinks that he wants to do a meritorious thing, but he definitely does not think that he saved the baby, which is the reincarnation of the golden cicada.
Slowly, a few days passed, and the matter of Datang came to an end for the time being, and after dealing with some things, Yang Qifeng's eyes looked into the distance, which was where the Two Realms Mountain was located, and it was also where the Five Elements Mountain was located.
It's almost five hundred years, and it's been so long since the gossip furnace was goodbye, it's time to go see the monkeys.
A ray of light pierced the sky, and Yang Qifeng went directly towards the Five Elements Mountain, he was a resolute person. (To be continued......)
