Volume 6 Journey to the West Chapter 123 The Buddha Emperor (6|37)
In the middle of summer, the sun is falling,
The ancient pine trees that rise from the ground form a forest, and the wind blows, and the branches undulate, like a sea of forests.
A figure came from a distance, walking slowly among the trees, about twenty years old, full of vigor.
This person is Yang Qifeng, who left from Wanshou Mountain, after he made sure that the Qianlan Demon God was fine, after caring about the Qianlan Demon God for a while, he withdrew and came here directly.
When he walked through the woods, which had no road, the bushes were bulldozed, the branches broke, and a path was opened.
Step by step, a dilapidated ancient temple, as it was seen, was dilapidated, and the mountain gate collapsed.
It's just that the main hall is still intact, and the statues enshrined in it are still alive.
Yang Qifeng's eyes were shining, with a smile on his face, he strode forward, walked into the temple, and looked at the one in the center, with a fertile body, a big belly, a big mouth of the Buddha Emperor, after experiencing the last thing, Yang Qifeng also found that this Buddha Emperor and the big belly can tolerate, tolerate the world's intolerable things, open his mouth to laugh, laugh at the world's ridiculous people Maitreya Buddha has some differences, Maitreya Buddha's laughter is compassion, and although this Buddha Emperor is also laughing, but it is full of domineering and majesty.
Glancing at the two statues next to him, one was about thirty years old, unsmiling, majestic, holding jade Ruyi, standing beside the Buddha Emperor.
It is the Yuan Shi Tianzun, standing beside the Buddha Emperor, like a waiter,
A statue in the back, wearing nine crowns, the front and back of the crown are hanging nine times, each of which has a total of nine jade beads in red, yellow, blue, white and black.
Wearing a nine-chapter tattooed crown dress, he is majestic, and he is a demon venerable.
It's the same here. I don't know what grudges this Buddha Emperor and Yuan Shi still have Demon Venerable. Obsessed with both, as long as the statue of itself stands. There will be Yuan Shi and the Demon Venerable standing aside and acting as waiters.
A palm-sized, golden token with a pattern engraved on it was held in Yang Qifeng's hand, and he immediately threw it away.
The token was suspended in the air, Yang Qifeng bowed respectfully three times, and said with his mouth open, "Respectfully invite the Buddha Emperor to come!"
After a bang, the wind was calm.
"Respectfully invite the Buddha Emperor to come!"
After the second tone. The breeze blows, and the weeds sway from side to side, and the waves are not alarmed.
"Respectfully invite the Buddha Emperor to come!"
After three sounds, the surroundings shook, the statue smiled, like a living thing, with a big mouth, and the Buddha's light flickered, and began to diffuse. A channel of Buddha light appeared out of thin air.
One side stands in the ancient temple, and the other side plunges into the void.
Entrance to the present. Yang Qifeng did not hesitate and strode directly into it.
As his figure disappeared, the Buddha's light dissipated. Turned into a little bit of light, in the ancient temple. The weeds were still swaying from side to side, and all traces were gone. There is no less than a grain of dust on it.
Just walked into the passage and came to the small world, without waiting for Yang Qifeng to make a move, the golden light flashed in front of him, and a golden shadow came closer.
A monk in his thirties, with fleshy sideburns and a monk's robe, his hands folded, his treasure solemn, no sorrow or joy, and he said to Yang Qifeng in a flat tone, "Daoyou is really a smart person, not like the one who killed himself,"
Yang Qifeng understood who the monk was talking about, the guy who wanted to continue to participate after winning a victory, and wanted to win consecutive victories.
Where in the world is there such a good thing, the Buddha Emperor Cave Heaven has been from the present world to the present, I don't know how many years, if this can continue to win the village, where can it be his turn.
"Poor Dao is here to go the extra mile this time," Yang Qifeng pointed his finger to the sky, and said in his mouth.
"The poor monk knows," the monk nodded, expressionless, and then stretched out his hand.
The void changed, heaven and earth were like water, constantly changing various appearances, and finally the ladder composed of golden light appeared in front of Yang Qifeng, and the monk said, "Fellow Daoists, please?"
Yang Qifeng nodded, and then strode upward.
The golden staircase, dazzling, and the continuous flow of golden light outlines the journey of the staircase.
He didn't move forward quickly, and it took him about a quarter of an hour to make his way up the last staircase, only to see him walk behind.
The surroundings are changing, the vision is hazy, the sky is spinning, everything is changing.
When his vision was restored again, the green mountains and green waters had disappeared, but in front of him, there was a temple.
The temple is magnificent, built against the mountain, occupying half of the mountain.
Looking at the past from a distance from the mountain gate, the Buddha's light is shining, the Buddha's voice lingers in the ear, the majestic building everywhere, the Thousand Buddha Palace, the Mountain Gate, the Tianwang Palace, the Daxiong Treasure Palace, the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, the Abbot's Courtyard, the Lixue Pavilion, the Thousand Buddha Palace.
"Amitabha," a Buddha horn sounded, and the monk appeared in front of Yang Qifeng.
Yang Qifeng, who saw it, was shocked, he didn't even notice how this monk appeared, as if he appeared out of thin air, and moved in front of him in an instant.
Is it the art of shifting, or the end of the world, or something else
In his mind, Yang Qifeng instantly began to judge.
"Daoyou is slow," the monk said to Yang Qifeng with a smile on his face.
"It's you," the monk spoke, and Yang Qifeng immediately recognized him, this was the one he had just met below.
The other party's attire has changed a little, the sideburns have disappeared, the head is shiny, the monk's robe is gorgeous, and the robe is gorgeous.
He didn't react for a moment, but when the monk spoke, he immediately recognized the familiar tone.
"It's the poor monk," the monk didn't deny, he smiled on his face, nodded his head, took a step forward, and made a gesture of asking to leave.
Walking in front, Yang Qifeng immediately followed, and before the two came to the mountain gate, the monk stretched out his hand and pointed to the mountain gate, and began to introduce it and said, "There are three big characters on the forehead of the Buddha Emperor who mentioned the Buddha Emperor Temple. ”
There is a pair of stone lions in front of the mountain gate, male and female opposite, the main gate of the mountain gate is a single-eaves hilltop building with a wide three rooms, it is located on a two-meter-high brick platform, and the left and right are equipped with a hard mountain-style side door and a figure-eight wall.
As soon as you enter the mountain gate, you will see Maitreya Buddha in the Buddha shrine, big belly poop, smile often, people call "big belly Buddha", "all happy Buddha". Behind the shrine stands a wooden statue of Wei Tuo, with a god stick in his hand, and is the guardian god of the Buddha Temple.
Seeing this, Yang Qifeng's eyes shrank,
The Buddha Emperor, in his impression, is the enemy of the Buddha,
How can the Buddha Temple also be able to worship Maitreya Buddha and statues of Veda and other gods.
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, he slowly followed the monk, he wanted to see what tricks this monk was playing.
The two of them continued to move forward, one after the other.
Along the way, the monks are like flowers, constantly telling the history of the temple, from the history of each building, as well as the origin of its Buddha statues.
Looking at the red wall and green tiles of the front hall, the dougong is painted, and there is a statue of King Kong on the left and right in front of the partition screen in the door.
Three heavy eaves rest the temple on the top of the mountain, there are two big King Kong outside, and the inside is the statue of the four heavenly kings, which is majestic and majestic.
Without the introduction of the monk, Yang Qifeng himself directly spoke, "This is the Heavenly King Palace,"
"That's right, Daoyou really has a fate with my Buddha," the monk folded his hands, smiled and nodded, and said something that made Yang Qifeng extremely disgusted.
After passing by the Heavenly King Palace, they finally arrived at their destination.
Daxiong Treasure Hall.
The Daxiong Hall is the center of the temple's Buddhist activities, and if this monk has something to discuss with Yang Qifeng, the place he chooses must be in the Daxiong Hall, because only here can he show his attention.
After entering the Daxiong Treasure Hall, Yang Qifeng's eyes began to scan around, and he checked the layout of the hall.
This Mahavira Hall is enshrined in the statue of Shakyamuni, Medicine Buddha, Amitabha Buddha, there is a statue of Guanyin on the back wall of the screen wall, and there are eighteen Arhat statues on both sides. The hall enshrines the statues of Sakyamuni, Amitabha Buddha and Medicine Buddha, and the statue of Guanyin is hung behind the screen wall, and there are eighteen Arhats standing on both sides.
It's weird, it's getting weirder.
In the current situation, if the Buddha Emperor is removed, this is just an ordinary temple.
But with the existence of the Buddha-Emperor title, plus these statues, everything is out of place, everything is wrong.
After the monks came to the Mahavira Treasure Hall, they took the lead in picking up the incense and lit it in front of the Buddha statue of Shakyamuni.
For example, those who recite the Buddha are infected with the merits of the Buddha and fill the body and mind.
In the pure land where the bodhisattvas have made their vows, the wonderful incense winds blow as they wish, and the heavens of the desire realm often touch their bodies with soft incense winds.
In the abyss of artistic conception, a sentence involuntarily emerged in Yang Qifeng's heart.
I look at this qi, it is neither the original nor the empty, the non-annihilation and the non-fire, the absence of nothing, the coming of nowhere, the disappearance of the will, and the invention. If you come to print me, you will have a fragrant name. The dust is extinguished, and the fragrance is solemn. I have been an arhat from Xiangyan. The Buddha asked Yuantong, as I have witnessed, incense is strict.
No, such a Buddhist discourse, how can I be,
In his last life, he was a professional Taoist priest, not a professional monk, and the Taoist classics came casually, and the head of what he could say was the Tao, but these Buddhist classics can be said to be ten tricks through three tricks.
This is not what I know, but a word that appears directly in my mind for no reason.
Here, it's really weird.
"When you come here, it's better to pay respects," the monk stretched out his hand to pick up the wonderful incense and handed it over to Yang Qifeng.
"No, no, no," waved his hand again and again, and the three didn't need to say it in Yang Qifeng's mouth.
Not only is it weird here, but even the layout is the same, that one dares to claim to be the emperor of the Buddha, in the Mahavira Hall, the worship center should be the Buddha Emperor, and now it is Shakyamuni, this situation is not right, how dare he worship indiscriminately.
"Okay," the monk didn't force it, he directly put away the wonderful incense, twisted his body, and looked solemn, as if he saw what Yang Qifeng was thinking in his heart, he spoke directly, "Do you think that in this Mahavira Hall, there is something wrong with enshrined the Buddha statue of Shakyamuni?"
