On the Pure Land of Bhasa, above the Nine Treasures Floating Buddha, the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Venerables, Arhats, Vajra ...... Gather together to discuss the matter of passing through the eastern soil.
According to the agreement between the Buddha Mother and Shakyamuni, the matter of spreading the scriptures to the east is undertaken by Theravada Buddhism. When the transmission of the sutras is completed, Theravada Buddhism can leave Buddhism and return to the east. This is a major event in Theravada Buddhism, and even if the whole sect has a disregard for Buddhism, it is extremely concerned about this matter.
Seeing that the time was approaching, and many details of the sutra could not be determined, Shakyamuni gathered all the disciples together to discuss.
There are two main issues discussed by everyone, one is the way of transmitting the scriptures, and the other is the protagonist of the scriptures at this time, that is, the person who transmits the scriptures.
As the organizer and host of this conference, Shakyamuni did not expect that this matter would be so complicated to discuss. On the first issue alone, the way of transmitting the scriptures, the congregation of the same sect was endlessly arguing, and the whole Theravada Buddhism was divided into two camps headed by the Bodhisattva of the Bodhisattva and the Bodhisattva of the Spiritual Tooth, and the controversy that lasted for three days began.
The Bodhisattva believed that the person who should be ordered to pass the sutra directly carried the sutra from the Pure Land of Bhasa through Xiniuhezhou, through the Nanzhan Continent, and then entered the human world. The advantage of this is to save time and effort, and to finish the transmission of the scriptures as soon as possible, and you and your fellow disciples can return to the east as soon as possible.
The Spirit Tooth Bodhisattva also wanted to return to the sect as soon as possible, but he did not agree with the opinion of the Bodhisattva. He pointed out that the mother of the Buddha had requested that the route of the transmission of the scriptures in the east or the people who preach the scriptures were determined by Theravada Buddhism, but his disciple Sun Wukong must be in the team of preaching the scriptures, and he must be the main force.
If this matter had been easy to do before, but now that Sun Wukong is suppressed in the world by Our Lady of Jinling, the team you said you want to spread the scriptures set off from Xiniu Hezhou. When you get to the world and get Sun Wukong out, the daylily is cold. In that case, Sun Wukong is not the main force, he is not even a trick, at most he is familiar. You are so blatantly fooling the Buddha's mother, and it would be strange for that wise sage to be able to let his people go back to the east lightly.
Therefore, the proposition of the Spirit Tooth Bodhisattva is that the process of passing on the scriptures to the east is more complicated, and the people who take the scriptures start from the world. Cross the two realms of the mountain into the West Niu He Zhou, arrive at the Pure Land of Po Sa to obtain the true scriptures, and then go south from the West Niu He Zhou to the south of the province to enter the world. Although it took a lot of effort, it could make the Buddha Mother Zhun Ti scruple and let her people return safely.
Although there is no contradiction between the brothers on weekdays, the relationship is still very harmonious, but this time the two brothers quarreled very fiercely.
Looking at the two junior brothers who were blushing and thick-necked as you said a word, Shakyamuni shook his head secretly. But Peacock Rulai seems to be very willing to see this scene. Watching the quarrel between the two sides with great interest.
Seeing the peacock Rulai's eyes blazing and looking at the excitement, Sakyamuni knew that he still had to speak, otherwise he didn't know how long it would be noisy. At that moment, Shakyamuni coughed lightly twice, "Senior brothers. Don't be impatient, and listen to the foolish brother. ”
As soon as Shakyamuni's words came out, there was a sudden silence in the floating slaughter, and it was as noisy as a vegetable market just now. Now it's quiet, and if a pin drops on the ground at this moment, you can hear the sound.
His gaze swept over the junior disciples. Just now, these people were like being beaten with chicken blood, but now they are all sitting upright, like a group of great Confucians, and the big contrast between the front and back makes Sakyamuni feel funny.
Shakyamuni wanted to laugh but didn't, but the peacock next to him couldn't help laughing.
Glaring at the peacock Rulai angrily, Shakyamuni said, "Why is the junior brother laughing?" ”
Listening to Senior Brother's questioning, Peacock Rulai restrained a little, but he still had a smile on his face, "Senior Brother, when we were learning the Tao on Jinao Island, weren't you junior disciples exactly like they are today?"
Shakyamuni was stunned, the past was long, and the pictures turned in front of him. The disciples of the sect mostly practice the formation path, and the formation path is different from alchemy and refining tools. Whether it is alchemy or refining, it can only be done independently by yourself.
But this is not the case with the formation, maybe a person's words, a rough idea, can make the power of the formation much higher. The master of the Tongtian Sect has never been afraid of the disciples arguing, except in the Biyou Palace, anywhere on Jinao Island, you can see the noisy disciples of the sect.
Turning his gaze to the peacock Rulai, Shakyamuni remembered that this junior disciple was one of the few outliers in the sect. He is said to be an outlier because he never touches the formation path. However, whenever there was a meeting of the same sect to discuss the Tao and the quarrel was hot, this junior brother stood quietly aside...... Look at the excitement.
I have been here for a long time, and since I came to Buddhism to establish Theravada Buddhism, these teachers and disciples have never quarreled and debated over something like they do today. Sometimes not arguing or arguing does not mean that there is harmony, and what was pervasive in Hinayana Buddhism in the past was a kind of repression, a kind of suffocating repression.
Now that the time to return to the East is just around the corner, that repression has finally dissipated, and Hinayana Buddhism is full of expectations for the future.
His gaze swept over his peers, and Shakyamuni smiled, "Fellow disciples, don't fight. Since Sun Wukong is in the world today, let's change the legend to take it!"
The moment Shakyamuni opened his mouth to set the way of transmitting the sutras, Theravada Buddhism no longer disputed this, and even the Bodhisattva did not say anything against it. And in his body, there is no trace of the strange feelings caused by this. On the contrary, he looked indifferent, quite a bit of Lao Tzu's temperament of doing nothing, and he was like the one who blew his beard and stared at him just now.
The same is true of the Spirit Tooth Bodhisattva beside him, there is no trace of smugness on his face, just his eyes are blurred, as if he is recalling something.
Seeing that all the junior brothers stopped talking, the peacock Rulai, who hadn't seen enough of the excitement, said with a smile: "Senior brothers, just now the senior brother has decided the way to pass the scriptures, so now we might as well discuss the protagonist of the scriptures!"
As soon as the peacock Rulai said this, it was like a breeze blowing through the wheat field, and everyone present reacted. The face of the Bodhisattva sank, and the Bodhisattva of the Spirit Tooth opened his eyes suddenly. Even the Golden Light Bodhisattva, who had never expressed an opinion since the beginning, could see from his clenched fists that this Bodhisattva's heart was not at peace at this time.
However, no matter what kind of reaction the crowd had, no one spoke, and no one put forward their own thoughts and opinions.
I couldn't see the lively peacock Rulai was slightly stunned, and instantly figured out the cause and effect. After hesitating for a moment, Peacock Rulai turned his head and said to Shakyamuni: "At this time, the matter is important, and it is up to the senior brother to decide!"
Finding that the eyes of all the juniors and disciples fell on him with the words of the peacock, Shakyamuni sat on the lotus platform and was speechless.
When Shakyamuni didn't speak, everyone didn't speak, and they looked at Shakyamuni silently one by one, waiting for their senior brother to make a final decision.
Shakyamuni can also be called the top supernatural power in this world, and there are really few people under the saint who dare to pat their chests and say that they can win against him. A great supernatural person at this level. It should be that the heart is determined and will not be moved by external objects. Kill decisively, and never drag the mud and water in doing things.
But at this time, Shakyamuni was really undecided, and he didn't know what to do. In the end, Shakyamuni sighed in his heart, and finally spoke: "Since all the juniors and disciples are unwilling, then this matter will be handled by my disciple Jin Cicada." ”
"Teacher ......" as a disciple of Shakyamuni, when the teachers are arguing. The golden cicada has no right to speak. Now he suddenly heard that his teacher had handed over the burden of passing through the eastern soil in his hands, and Jin Chanzi was surprised and happy in his heart.
Seeing the unconcealable joy on the face of the golden cicada, Shakyamuni shook his head slightly, and said, "Wutian!"
"The disciple is here!"
Shakyamuni looked at himself, the first disciple in Buddhism. For some reason, Shakyamuni felt that he had a temperament that was very similar to that of his eldest apprentice, Fire Spirit. Although he was a little reluctant, Shakyamuni said, "There is no heaven." After returning to the East with your teacher, you will be the past Buddha of Theravada Buddhism!"
"Teacher, this must not be done!" Wutian was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly walked to Shakyamuni and knelt down. The love words said earnestly: "The disciple is not talented, I am willing to return with the teacher!"
Originally, I heard that Sakyamuni set the protagonist of the scripture as the golden cicada, but the peacock Rulai didn't say it, but he was very satisfied with the arrangement of the senior brother. At this time, when I heard Shakyamuni say that he wanted to leave Wutian behind and pass the Buddha for Theravada Buddhism, Peacock Rulai couldn't help but change his complexion, and he had to speak out to stop him.
Before the peacock could speak, Shakyamuni had already noticed it, and shook his head slightly at his junior brother, Shakyamuni stretched out his hand and held Wutian up, "Disciple, stay!"
Wutian wanted to ask again, begging the teacher to take him away when he left, but as soon as he looked up, he looked at Shakyamuni and saw the love in the teacher's eyes.
Holding Wutian with one hand and the golden cicada with the other, at this moment Shakyamuni suddenly thought of the dead big apprentice, and sighed faintly: "You were born in the West, so stay in the West." Before leaving for the teacher, I will leave you with some opportunities, and you can only rely on yourself for the future!"
Master and apprentice are like father and son, Sakyamuni's words are full of licking the calf, both Wutian and Jin Chanzi are excited and difficult to control.
Holding the two disciples who wanted to bow down, Shakyamuni asked Peacock Rulai, "Senior brother, how is the arrangement of the foolish brother?"
Peacock Rulai opened his mouth, shook his head again, and spit out two words in his mouth: "Great goodness!"
......
is different from the background of "Journey to the West", for example, today's court is a staunch ally of the Interception Sect, and the upper and lower prefectures are also controlled by the Interception Sect. Therefore, there will be no "old dragon king's clumsy plan to violate the rules of heaven", and there will be no "Tang Taizong's underworld to return the soul", and there will be no "still giving birth to the Tang King Zunshan fruit". Therefore, even Shakyamuni can hardly find a high-sounding excuse to learn scriptures, and can only make some fuss through the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism in the world.
The original dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, the two sides of the battle were the Taoist people supported by Li Yuan, the founder of the Tang Dynasty, and the Buddhism supported by Li Shimin, the king of Qin. Later, after the change of Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin killed his brother and imprisoned his father, ascended to the ninth five-year, and respected Li Yuan as the emperor to retire in Taiji Palace. However, the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism did not end with Li Yuan's abdication.
Li Shimin, this eloquent emperor, is well versed in the way of the emperor's mental balance. Although Buddhism once helped him in times of crisis, Li Shimin was clear about their thoughts. As for Daomen, since Li Yuan's abdication, he has continued to show favor to Li Shimin, and Li Shimin has accepted them easily.
At this time, it is called Taoism, not Taoism, for a reason. The Li family admires Laozi and wants to teach Taoists. But the human sect withdrew from the flood wilderness, and there was no Taoist disciple in the world. However, there are some people who claim to be from the Taoist sect and go to Chang'an to seek refuge in Li Yuan. These people, led by Yuan Shoucheng and Yuan Tiangang's uncle and nephew, served as officials in the Qin Tianjian of the Tang Dynasty, observing celestial phenomena, calculating solar terms, and predicting natural disasters.
Buddhism and Taoism gathered in Chang'an. The capital of the Tang Dynasty is lively every day, today you come to a fairy trace, tomorrow I will make an Arhat Linfan. The day after tomorrow, he performed a dead wood spring technique, and the day after tomorrow, he had nine cold flowers blooming. It can be said that this dispute between Buddhism and Taoism has feasted the eyes of the people of Chang'an.
It's just that no matter how good the fairy signs and wonders are, but they can't be more, one more is fake, no matter which one of the Buddhas wants to win, they have to use some other means.
The eastern capital of Luoyang White Horse Temple, this thousand-year-old temple has gone through seven dynasties. Still standing. Just like Chen Jiugong passed by back then, there was a constant flow of people inside and outside the temple, and the incense was prosperous.
Today, the White Horse Temple rejects a number of pilgrims who come to the temple to pay incense, whether they are peddlers and pawns, or dignitaries. In fact, the White Horse Temple posted a notice as early as three months ago, and the notice made it very clear that the White Horse Temple does not accept pilgrims to worship the Buddha today.
It's been three months since the notice was posted. The closure of the White Horse Temple today is also well known. But even so, since this morning, the avenue leading to the main gate of the White Horse Temple has been full of people.
It turns out that today is the day when the Shaolin Temple monk Yuanzhen Fa drove the White Horse Temple.
Since the eighteen stick monks have helped the current saint to break the king's world. Shaolin Temple in the help of Li Shimin to build a large number of buildings, will occupy the entire Songshan, in recent years with Li Shimin ascended the throne, Shaolin Temple in the world of Buddhism status is rising. It has overwhelmed the Jinguang Temple, Guanyin Monastery, Wenshu Monastery and other old Buddhist sects in the world.
Shaolin Temple, this true monk. Not many people have heard of his name, but the Shaolin monk's visit to the White Horse Temple is enough to attract everyone's attention.
Countless believers in Chang'an are looking forward to it. I hope that the monks of the two temples can open the altar to say the Dharma. But I waited for seven days, until the Shaolin monks left Luoyang, and I couldn't wait for the legendary puja. On the contrary, there is an astonishing news that is circulating among Buddhist believers in the Luoyang area. It is said that eighteen years later, there will be high-level Buddhist people who will go west to Tianzhu, the birthplace of Buddhism, to seek Buddhist classics.
A colorful glow swept out from Xiniu Hezhou and went straight into the six reincarnations. Today's patrol of the six reincarnations is the Jiao Demon King Covering the Sea, he saw the colorful glow flying towards the place where all beings are reincarnated, Covering the sea hurriedly said to the accompanying ghost pawn: "Wait for the hurry to report to Yan Jun!" After speaking, Covering the sea flew up and flew towards the place where the colorful glow fell.
When the sea arrived, he saw a golden light entering the humanity. This person was facing away from the sea at this time, but seeing his robe, the sea couldn't help but be shocked. He is a person in Buddhism, and his cultivation is extremely high, so he can't see through it at all.
He was originally an ancient demon who had been cultivating for many years. He also worshiped under Chen Jiugong's door and practiced the holy humanitarian law. Today's sea covering, a body of cultivation has reached the peak of Daluo Golden Immortal. The only thing that can make him unable to see through it is the quasi-saint.
Thinking about the lost Cangjia Zhenren back then, he was cold in his heart, but he was guarding the six reincarnations here, and he was ordered by the teacher. The master's order is difficult to disobey, even if he dies, he will not dare to retreat from the sea.
Raising the Soul Splitting Spear, Covering the Sea shouted: "The thieves of the Buddhist Gate dare to break into my six reincarnations, accept your life!"
Covering the sea after experiencing the battle of the ancient lich, he is definitely a decisive character. The moment he made a move, he wiped out all the fear in his heart. The black light on the Soul Breaker Gun flickered, piercing the back of the man's heart.
A shot hit the ground, and Cover Hai's face changed greatly. He was stabbed by a shot, but the man didn't dodge, and was shot in the sea with his flesh. There are three treasures covering the sea, the sea pearl, the wheel wind and fire robe, and the soul splitting gun. These three treasures, the Sea Covering Pearl and the Soul Splitting Spear, are all innate spirit treasures. Compared to the integration of attack and defense of the Sea Bead, this Soul Splitting Spear is a killing spirit treasure. With the cultivation of covering the sea, even ordinary quasi-saints do not dare to resist.
"Could it be that this person is the same as the senior brother?" A shot was fruitless, and the sea was stunned. If the person who came was really like Yuan Hong, who completely took the path of tempering his body, then he would stab him with a hundred shots, and it would be difficult to hurt him in the slightest.
Just when the sea was stunned, the person who came turned around, looked at the person's appearance, and had just made up his mind to explode the original god and the desperate momentum of the sea suddenly stagnated.
"Yes...... You?" Fu Hai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and secretly said that he didn't have to die this time, so he hurriedly put away the Soul Splitting Spear and bowed to this person.
Peacock Ru glanced at the sea, stretched out his hand to help, and said: "People in Buddhism, you don't deserve a big gift." ”
"Yes!" Although the person in front of him was really a member of Buddhism, and he was the leader of Buddhism, Fu Hai was respectful and respectful, and he didn't dare to be disrespectful in the slightest.
"Well, that's good! The qualifications are extraordinary, they are really good seedlings, and there are really many handsome people under the sect!" The peacock Rulai looked up and down at the sea covering, and after a long day of covering the sea, he praised a few words. I just don't know if he's praising the sea or whom.
Fu Hai also knew the relationship between Peacock Rulai and Interception, and when he praised himself like this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Today, the peacock is here to send Shakyamuni's second disciple, the golden cicada, into the six realms of reincarnation. After sending the golden cicada into humanity, the peacock Rulai, who wanted to leave, found that there was a familiar aura coming to him. said that it was familiar, not that the peacock Rulai recognized the sea, but that he recognized the Shangqing immortal qi on the sea.
Thinking that it might be a former colleague, the peacock didn't leave in a hurry, and he didn't want to be unrecognized, so he should be a junior.
Since it is a junior, it is not good not to have a greeting gift. The peacock Rulai thought about it, stretched out his left hand, flipped it up, palms facing up, and shot out five divine lights of red, green, yellow, white, and black from the tips of his five fingers.
Seeing the five divine lights shooting towards him, he didn't hide from the sea. At first, he was really scared, but now that he knew the identity of the person who came, he knew that the peacock would never hurt himself.
The five divine lights spared the sea and submerged into his hair, only feeling that there was something more in the back of his head, and the sea subconsciously reached out to touch it.
"This is the essence of the five elements, and it protects you. ”
The sound of the peacock came into the ears of the sea cover, and the sea was overjoyed when he heard the words and stepped forward to bow.
