Chapter 507: Discussion of the Scriptures and Spiritual Roots
Huangzhong Li, one of the three spiritual roots, is known in the world together with peach and ginseng fruit. Sun Wukong is a monkey, and this monkey's favorite food is melons and fruits. It is true that this Monkey King occupies the mountain as the king in the earth immortal realm, but compared with most saint disciples, he is a veritable earth bun. When the aroma of this yellow plum came into Sun Wukong's nostrils, Sun Wukong's eyes suddenly fixed on the four fruits and couldn't take them off.
Seeing his disciple's gluttonous appearance, Patriarch Su Bodhi couldn't help but secretly shake his head, and quietly pulled Sun Wukong's sleeve under the case with his hand, "Wukong." ”
"Huh?"
"Salute the Master!"
"Oh. Sun Wukong listened to the words of the Buddha's mother, and hurriedly got up and waved to Chen Jiugong, "Sun Wukong meets the sect leader!"
Looking at this monkey who was famous in his previous life, Chen Jiugong stretched out his hand to help him, and said to Patriarch Su Bodhi with a smile: "Daoyou has such a good apprentice, it is really enviable. ”
"Where, where, how can it be compared to the tens of millions of talented people under the Taoist friends. Patriarch Su Bodhi was polite to Chen Jiugong, and at the same time motioned for Sun Wukong to return to his side and sit down.
Chen Jiugong and Patriarch Su Bodhi exchanged pleasantries for a while, and said to the Jinxia boy beside him: "You are a guest from afar, Jinxia, you take the patriarch and disciples around Jinao Island to see the scenery of my East China Sea." ”
"Yes. The golden girl bowed down to receive the order.
Patriarch Su Bodhi signaled to Sun Wukong and asked him to follow the Jinxia boy out of the cave.
Sun Wukong has been thinking about Huang Zhongli on the case, but when he heard that Patriarch Su Bodhi asked him to follow the Jinxia boy out of the house, although he was a little reluctant, he also got up and went out of the Luofu Cave under the leadership of the Jinxia boy.
As soon as these two people left, only Chen Jiugong and Patriarch Su Bodhi were left in Luofu Cave. At this time, I only heard Chen Jiugong ask: "Daoist friends are coming east today, I don't know what to do?"
Patriarch Su Bodhi chuckled when he heard this, "The sect leader is clever, and he must know my intentions." ”
Hearing Patriarch Su Bodhi's words, Chen Jiugong nodded unabashedly. "Since Daoyou came in person, he must be 100% sure. ”
Patriarch Su Bodhi stroked his white beard and said, "As long as the sect leader agrees, I am ten percent sure." ”
Chen Jiugong shook his head slightly, "Fellow Daoists, don't think about this matter too simply, I'm afraid it's not so easy for the Dharma to spread eastward." ”
Patriarch Su Bodhi's face was stunned, and he said to Chen Jiugong: "If the sect leader can agree to this, my Buddhism is grateful. ”
Chen Jiugong couldn't help but smile bitterly, "This kind of move to lure wolves into the room." How dare I do it. ”
Chen Jiugong used an idiom, although it was the first time that Patriarch Su Bodhi heard the word "luring wolves into the room", he could hear this meaning. His brows furrowed slightly, and Patriarch Su Bodhi's mind turned sharply, "There are other people who lure the wolf into the room, just need the sect leader to nod." ”
Chen Jiugong was silent when he heard this, and Patriarch Su Bodhi looked at Chen Jiugong with anticipation in his heart.
Chen Jiu said fairly: "Fellow Daoist, this matter is very important, why don't you discuss it when all the saints get together in the future?"
"This ......" Patriarch Su Bodhi saw that Chen Jiugong was determined. It's hard to reverse, but I don't want to leave Jinao Island like this.
It seemed that he also felt the unwillingness of Patriarch Su Bodhi, and Chen Jiu said fairly: "Since Daoist friends are here, you might as well stay on my Jinao Island for a few days." Would you like to take a look at the scenery of my East China Sea?"
Chen Jiugong's words seemed to be a guest, but Patriarch Su Bodhi felt that it was a send-off sentence. This Chen Jiugong was the first Xuanmen saint he saw after coming east this time. It is also the biggest obstacle to the eastward spread of Buddhism in the mind of Patriarch Subodhi. Needless to say, that Nuwa Niangniang, although in the affairs of the demon clan. There are some differences with his brothers and sisters, but Buddhism and the Demon Sect are still allies after all. And Sun Wukong, the protagonist of this Eastward Transmission of Buddhism, has a great relationship with Nuwa Niangniang, no matter what aspect it is. It's impossible for Nuwa Niangniang not to agree.
And the three saints of Xuanmen other than Nuwa Niangniang, in the eyes of Patriarch Su Bodhi, Chen Jiugong is the best to speak, but it is also the most difficult to break. Thinking that Lao Tzu and Yuan Shi Tianzun still owe themselves and their senior brother Amitabha Buddha a big cause and effect, when it comes to the most lucrative, they have to agree if they don't agree. Only Chen Jiugong made Patriarch Su Bodhi a little clueless.
"Sect Master!" Patriarch Su Bodhi got up from the futon, came to Chen Jiugong, and said: "The spread of Buddhism to the east is a matter of great merit. All the Buddhas of Mahayana Buddhism are moral people. In the opinion of the sect master, would it be good for them to preside over this matter?"
When Chen Jiugong heard Patriarch Su Bodhi's words, his eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Daoist friend said this, great goodness!"
When Patriarch Su Bodhi heard Chen Jiugong praise for goodness, he was overjoyed in his heart, and went back to the futon to talk with Chen Jiugong, or talk about Taoism and Taoism, or talk about ridiculous and interesting things.
Let's say that Sun Wukong followed the Jinxia boy out to the Luofu Cave, and the Jinxia boy led him to visit Jinao Island.
This Jinao Island is the dojo of two generations of saints of the sect, is it extraordinary? The wonders and wonders on the island are numerous, where has Sun Wukong seen such a beautiful scenery, led by the Jinxia boy to look around, and can't help but linger.
There is a strange scene in the south of Jinao Island facing the sea, which is called Sitting Forget Rock.
Although the name of this rock is called rock, it is the master of Tongtian Sect to take a star of nine heavens and refine, a radius of dozens of miles, placed on the island in an elliptical shape, facing each other by the sea, the peak of the waves beats, it does not move, a huge rock is really magnificent. There is a pavilion on the rock, the name is called Xuan Xuan, this Xuan has no gold carving and jade masonry, and there is no fairy flower and strange fruit, outside to the top of the attic, inside to the table and chair futon, purely made of the purple bamboo unique to the South China Sea, the thin purple mist surrounds the pavilion, the faint wood gas lingers for a long time, it is a very elegant place, and there is the effect of concentrating and calming the air. This pavilion is owned by Chen Jiugong, after entering Jinao Island, seeing the wonders of this sitting on the forgotten rock, he put the Xuan Xuan here.
Jin Xia Tong took Sun Wukong to the Sitting Rock and quietly looked at the stunned Sun Wukong, Jin Xia Tong couldn't help but feel funny.
After a while, Sun Wukong came back to his senses, and he also felt a little embarrassed, Sun Wukong pulled the Jinxia boy to sit down on the Zawang Rock, and began to brag about how majestic and magnificent Qiyun Mountain was in Xiniu Hezhou.
Jin Xia Tongzi has followed Chen Jiugong for many years, initially in Nanzhan Buzhou, but Emei Mountain is also the top of the Cave Heaven Blessed Land. Later, Chen Jiugong was located in the land of Beiju Luzhou, although the Beiju Luzhou was desolate, but the territory was so wide, what was nothing? Moreover, over the years, the Jinxia boy had swam through the heavens and walked through the Wuzhuang Temple. Not to mention the supernatural powers, but to say that this insight is far from being comparable to Sun Wukong. Since Sun Wukong wants to blow, Jin Xia Tongzi is not polite to blow with him.
The two of them talked about it for more than an hour, and Sun Wukong found that not only did he not blow others, but he was despised by the Jinxia boy. Annoyed in his heart, Sun Wukong's mouth gradually lost the door, "Brother Jinxia, don't you know, how majestic I am in Xiniu Hezhou! I think on my 500th birthday, thousands of demon kings in Xiniu Hezhou gathered in Qiyun Mountain to congratulate me on my birthday, and the Xihai Wing Jiao King gave me a fairy peach spiritual root, what do you guess about this spiritual root?"
"How?" asked Jin Xia with wide eyes. It's not that Jinxia Boy is interested in the fairy peach spirit root in Sun Wukong's mouth, thinking that back then, the Jade Emperor sent Chen Jiugong purple-patterned peach trees, and those peach trees were planted in Mount Emei, and most of the time Jinxia Boy was taking care of them. I think that although the flood is big, what peach tree can compare to the purple-veined peach tree? Jin Xia Tongzi asked when he asked, but he wanted to give him a powerful counterattack after Sun Wukong finished speaking.
Sun Wukong didn't know that the Jinxia boy was attentive, and he boasted to himself, "The Wing Jiao King also has a heart, and his filial piety to the old grandson's immortal peach spiritual root is even more wonderful, the spiritual root blooms once in a thousand years, bears fruit in a thousand years, and matures in another thousand years." Mortals can prolong their lives when they smell it. If you can eat one bite, you can live forever. If we monks are lucky enough to eat it, it will be worth a hundred years of penance......"
Sun Wukong was talking about Xingtou, and suddenly saw the golden xia boy snorting and laughing. Even no matter how big Sun Wukong's heart is, he can see the mockery of this Jinxia boy's smile.
Sun Wukong was angry at the time, "What? Do you think that I can't talk nonsense?" Although Sun Wukong said this, he felt a little empty in his heart. He was really talking nonsense, it was true that the West Sea Wing Jiao King gave him a peach tree, and the peach tree was not an ordinary peach tree, it could be regarded as a spiritual root. But it's just a flowering in ten years, a fruit in ten years, and a maturity in ten years. When mortals smell it, they can make their bodies feel great, and they can eat it well. If you eat one, you can prolong your life and live for more than ten or twenty years. But for the monks who have become immortals, it is just to enjoy the desire of the tongue.
Seeing that Sun Wukong was a little annoyed, Jin Xia Tongzi was not used to him, and asked with a smile: "Monkey, do you know the three spiritual roots of the flood wilderness?"
"Three spiritual roots?"
Looking at Sun Wukong's appearance that he had never seen the world, Jin Xia Tongzi kindly explained to him, "The three spiritual roots of the flood wilderness, ginseng fruit, Huangzhong plum, and peach tree. Ginseng fruit blooms once every 3,000 years, bears fruit once every 3,000 years, and matures after another 3,000 years. Only 3,000 fruits at a time, if someone who is destined to smell it, can live to be 360 years old. If you can eat one, you can be worth ten thousand years of cultivation. Huangzhong Li, a thousand years of flowering, a thousand years of fruiting, and another thousand years to mature...... There are a total of 3,560 peach spiritual roots, which can be divided into three grades,...... The best 1,100 plants, purple veined nucleus, ripe for 9,000 years, people eat the same life as heaven and earth, the sun and the moon are the same Geng, then it can be worth 600 years of penance. ”
Jin Xia's words shocked Sun Wukong. I didn't expect the immortal peach spirit root that I boasted of was so unbearable compared to the three major spirit roots. The peach tree that stood in front of his Qiyun Cave, which he regarded as a treasure, was not nothing? For a while, Sun Wukong asked in disbelief: "What you said is true?"
"Hey, you monkey, I can't lie to you! That ginseng fruit is the treasure of Wanshou Mountain Wuzhuang Guanzhen Yuan Daxian Town. Master Zhenyuan and my teacher have been friends for eight years, and every time the ginseng fruit is ripe, more than a dozen will be sent to the master to try. 3,560 trees, all in the Heavenly Court Peach Garden. The lord of the heavenly court, the Great Heavenly Venerable, the Queen Mother and my lord are close friends. The last time the purple-veined peach was ripe, Da Tianzun and Niangniang also personally sent the peach. Speaking of this, Jin Xia said proudly: "And Huang Zhongli is on my Jinao Island!"
"What?" Sun Wukong heard this, his heart was shocked, and he remembered the four fruits on the stone table in Luofu Cave, and he couldn't help but feel itchy. (To be continued......)
