On the twenty-sixth level of heaven, Han Chong is so wonderful.
Fang Jian rode the third prince into Han Chong Miao Cheng Tian, where the Buddha's light was filled, the immortal energy was bright, the mountains were lush, and the rivers were flowing.
This Chonghan Miaocheng Heaven is the heaven where those who have achieved enlightenment in Buddhism live. Except for a few special Bodhisattvas, all Buddhist Bodhisattvas have basically opened a monastery here.
Fang Jian rode his horse above the sky, looking at the magnificent qi that soared into the sky. The majestic power covered the sky from Han Chong Miao Cheng, which was sacred and solemn.
However, Fang Jian is only a golden immortal, but it is difficult to tell which Bodhisattva it is based on these qi.
Therefore, "Fellow Taoist, please stay." Fang Jian called to a monk flying quickly in front of him.
The monk stopped immediately, turned around and glanced at Fang Jian. He was slightly surprised, and immediately clasped his hands and said, "Young monk pays homage to God."
Fang Jian stepped forward, then turned over and dismounted. He saw that this monk was also a Taoist monk. He had a weathered face, white eyebrows, and a kind face, but there was a hint of firmness and solemnity. Fang Jian felt that this monk's temperament was a little bit like his own. resemblance.
"Dare you ask the eminent monk's name?" Fang Jian bowed his head and said.
"Don't dare." The monk quickly put his hands together and returned the salute, saying, "Little monk Fahai."
Fang Jian was startled when he heard this, "Ah, what a coincidence, fellow Taoist Fahai."
Fahai was stunned when he heard this, looked at Fang Jian and said, "Does the Lord know this little monk?"
Fang Jian laughed and said, "Do you know who I am?"
Fahai said apologetically: "The young monk has been studying the wonderful Dharma of our Buddha for these years and rarely enters the world, so I don't know the name of God. Please forgive me."
Fang Jian shook his head, smiled, and said to Fahai: "Your Buddhist ancestor, Sakyamuni Buddha, gave you a number."
"Oh?" Fahai immediately stood in awe when he heard this. The person who can be given a title by the Buddha must be a big shot, so Fahai immediately bowed and worshiped: "Dare you ask for the title of the god?"
"I don't deserve the title. The Buddha gave me the title 'Orphan'." Fang Jian said.
Fahai froze immediately, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly, "Uh, are you Master Hongqing?"
"Yes." Fang Jian said, then he imitated the monks and clasped his hands together, and said solemnly with a precious look on his face: "That's right what the Buddha said about 'orphans', hahahahaha!"
Fahai looked at Fang Jian, and for a moment he didn't know what to say, but he felt that he was cool and relaxed, and he didn't have the sinister and cold feeling that those people said.
After Fang Jian smiled, he looked at Fahai and said, "Fellow Taoist Cen Biqing is my best friend, and Taoist Fahai should also know him."
Fahai was stunned again when he heard this, then shook his head and said: "We know each other, but we are like enemies."
When he was practicing in the human world, because of Bai Suzhen's incident, Cen Biqing would come up to fight Fahai whenever he saw him. Fahai would not hold back every time, beating Cen Biqing seriously and was defeated. Finally, he was taken away by Guanyin Bodhisattva. After practicing in Nanhai, her temper was somewhat softened.
"I won't talk about what happened back then." Fang Jian looked at Fahai and said with a smile, "Fellow Taoist, is he also opening a mansion in Han Chong Miao Cheng Tian?"
When Fa Hai heard this, he immediately shook his head and said: "The young monk has no attained status, so how can he open a residence here? I am here to meet the two Bodhisattvas White Horse and Dharma Cang."
When Fang Jian heard this, he looked happy and said quickly: "I also came to pay homage to the two Bodhisattvas, but it's a pity that I don't know the way or the door. Since my fellow Taoist is here, why don't we go together?"
"Okay." Although Fahai was confused about what Fang Jianjian and the two Bodhisattvas were doing, he did not refuse.
Fang Jian took the third prince and rode on the clouds with Fahai. The two walked and chatted. Fang Jian also knew that Fahai came to seek sutras from White Horse Bodhisattva and Fazang Bodhisattva.
Half an hour later, Fang Jian and Fahai came to a towering and beautiful mountain. Fang Jian looked around and saw a Buddhist temple hidden among the mountains.
There are lush green trees growing around the Buddhist temple, and the ancient trees block out the sky and the sun, making the Buddhist temple look extremely quiet and peaceful, and both the White Horse Bodhisattva and the Dharma Tibetan Bodhisattva live here.
White Horse Bodhisattva takes Moteng, and Dharmazang Bodhisattva Zhu Falan. These two Bodhisattvas are the ancestors of the Vinaya Sect, one of the eight sects of Buddhism.
The Vinaya sect is a very special sect in Buddhism. They specialize in practicing Buddhist precepts and take the transmission of precepts and observing the precepts as their first priority.
The Vinaya sect divides the teachings into four subjects: "precepts, precepts, precepts, and precepts." They believe that both Buddhist disciples and Buddhist believers must strictly abide by the precepts set by the Buddha in order to achieve the purpose of "preventing evil and preventing evil." .
Generally speaking, the Vinaya Sect is somewhat similar to the laws of heaven. However, the rules of heaven are for all living beings in the three realms, while the Vinaya Sect only stipulates monks and believers related to Buddhism.
When Fahai was in the human world, his behavior was very consistent with the characteristics of the Vinaya sect. Bai Suzhen repaid her kindness and entered the world to marry Xu Xian. Fahai repeatedly advised her to return to the mountains and forests early, practice Taoism in secret, and achieve enlightenment as soon as possible.
Bai Suzhen was also in love with Xu Xian and did not listen to Fahai's advice. Later, Fahai took Xu Xian to Jinshan Temple and wanted to accept him into Buddhism, so the Jinshan flood incident happened, and the matter gradually ended in chaos.
Fahai believes that there are differences between humans and monsters, and each has its own boundaries. Demons cannot enter the human world without authorization, let alone marry mortals without authorization, as this will disrupt the order of the world.
Fahai himself is an eminent monk and believes that he has the responsibility to maintain order in the human world. Therefore, Bai Suzhen and Cen Biqing cannot stay in the human world for a long time. They have obviously crossed the world of humans and monsters, so they should be advised to leave. If they do not leave, they will We can only use means to subdue the demon.
This is why Fang Jian felt that Fahai's temperament was somewhat similar to his own, because both of them were people who firmly upheld the law and order.
But it is said that White Horse Bodhisattva Shemo Teng and Dharma Store Bodhisattva Zhu Falan may not be famous, but they are not only the ancestors of the Vinaya Sect, but also the first ancestors of Chinese Buddhism.
The holy name of the White Horse Bodhisattva means going to the 'White Horse Temple'. The White Horse Temple is also the first Buddhist temple after Buddhism was introduced to China.
After a while, Fang Jian and Fahai had landed in front of the mountain temple. At this time, Fahai thought of Fang Jian and said, "This is Miaoyun Mountain, the dojo where the two Bodhisattvas practice pure cultivation."
Fang Jian nodded and was about to speak when he saw two young novice monks walking out of the mountain temple. The two young novice monks came to Fang Jian and Fahai, put their hands together and bowed: "Bodhisattvas know that Master Hongqing, Fahai Zen Master Hai has come and specially ordered us to come and greet him."
Fahai nodded slightly and said, "Thank you."
"I don't dare." The two young monks said respectfully.
Then the little novice monk on the left said to Fang Jian: "The two Bodhisattvas ask Master Hongqing to drive to Yuming Pavilion for a while."
The little novice monk on the right said to Fahai: "The two Bodhisattvas ask Zen Master Fahai to rest for a while in Yanling Pavilion."
"Yes." Fahai clasped his hands together and responded respectfully.
Fahai then followed the young novice to Yanling Pavilion, while Fang Jian was led to Yuming Pavilion by another young novice.
Lotus shadows are scattered, wind chimes are ringing, raindrops are faint, and jade cicadas are singing.
Fang Jian looked up and saw two Bodhisattvas sitting cross-legged on the Yuming Terrace, wearing cassocks, thin figures, with a faint Buddha light, and a round of golden light behind their heads. They were the White Horse Bodhisattva Shemateng and the Dharma Store Bodhisattva Zhu Falan.
When Fang Jian came to the stage, the two Bodhisattvas immediately stood up and clasped their hands together and said: "Amitabha, Master Hongqing and his Dharma came to Miaoyun Mountain, making the mountain temples shine brightly and the auspicious elephants turn into clouds."
Fang Jian smiled faintly, then bowed his head and returned the courtesy: "Bodhisattvas, you are serious in your words."
Immediately, Fazang Bodhisattva Zhu Falan pointed to the futon on the ground and said, "Master Hongqing, please sit down."
Fang Jian nodded and sat down cross-legged on the futon. At this time, the White Horse Bodhisattva photographed Moteng and ordered the young monk to offer spiritual tea, "Master Hongqing, please."
Fang Jian picked up the tea cup, invited Mo Teng and Zhu Falan from afar, and then took a sip of the spirit tea. After putting down the tea cup, Fang Jian asked: "Two Bodhisattvas, I am here to ask you two Bodhisattvas, what do you think about me?" What do the two Bodhisattvas think about Xitianfu's preparations to establish the Xiniu Hezhou Buddhist Association?"
Shemo Teng said: "The lotus is ripe but does not bear fruit."
Zhu Falan said: "It's hard to get together unless we meet with a good opportunity."
Fang Jian heard this and said, "Are the two Bodhisattvas saying that it is not time to build a Buddhist meeting?"
Shemo Teng and Zhu Falan smiled and said nothing. After Fang Jian pondered for a moment, he asked the two Bodhisattvas: "Do the two Bodhisattvas agree with the Buddhist meeting?"
Shemateng said: "Without the consent of all the Bodhisattvas of the seven major Dharma sects, it will be difficult to accomplish this matter."
Zhu Falan said: "However, the two of us have always advocated the supremacy of precepts, and our Vinaya Sect has reached the same goal as Tian Tiao's different paths, and we have no objections."
"But if the other Bodhisattvas do not agree with the Buddhist meeting, then the two Bodhisattvas will not participate, right?" Fang Jian asked.
Shemo Teng and Zhu Falan nodded at the same time, and Shemo Teng said: "If the other Bodhisattvas don't participate, even if the two of us form a Buddhist association with Xitian Mansion, it will be of no use."
"I understand." Fang Jian nodded slightly, and then said to Shemo Teng and Zhu Falan: "Then please ask the two Bodhisattvas to do me a favor."
Zhu Falan smiled and said: "Master Hongqing wants the location of the dojos of other Dharma sects and Bodhisattvas, right?"
"Yes." Fang Jian nodded and said.
"This is not difficult." Zhu Falan raised his head a little, then pointed out to Fang Jian one by one the magnificent qi machines rising into the sky in all directions, and finally said: "That's it."
Fang Jian remembered these positions in his heart, then stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Thank you two Bodhisattvas, I will take my leave."
Shemo Teng and Zhu Falan immediately stood up to see him off. After Fang Jian left Miaoyun Mountain, Shemo Teng said to the young novice beside him: "See you at the Xuanfa Sea."
But he said that after Fang Jian left Miaoyun Mountain, he followed the directions pointed by Zhu Falan.
The first one to come was Nagarjuna Bodhisattva's ashram, the ancestor of Faxing sect and Faxiang sect, "Bujia Mountain", but as soon as Fang Jian arrived, he was told that Nagarjuna Bodhisattva was not in the ashram.
"The Bodhisattva has gone to Nanzhan Buzhou and cannot meet with Master Hongqing." The young novice stood in front of the gate of Buji Mountain Dojo and said to Fang Jian.
Fang Jian asked: "When will Nagarjuna Bodhisattva return?"
"I don't know, little monk." The little novice monk said, holding a small precious tree in his hands and said: "This is the dragon's blood tree, a precious tree carefully cultivated by the Bodhisattva. When the Bodhisattva left, he said that if Master Hongqing comes, he will Give this planted tree to Master Hongqing.”
After the little novice monk finished speaking, he raised the Dragon Blood Tree above his head and said to Fang Jian, "Please accept it, Master Hongqing."
Fang Jian looked at the small dragon's blood tree in front of him and frowned slightly. Nagarjuna knew that he was coming, but he still went to Nanzhanbuzhou. This showed that Nagarjuna's attitude was very clear. He did not support the Buddha. Meeting discussion.
"Since the Bodhisattva has gone to Nanzhanbuzhou, it is God's will, but I cannot accept this treasure tree, so I will say goodbye." After Fang Jian finished speaking, he got on his horse and drove away with the third prince.
Then Fang Jian came to Tongshou Mountain and visited Kumarajiva, the ancestor of the Pure Land Sect, the Great Wish Heart Bodhisattva.
But like Bujie Mountain, Fang Jian was also told by the novice monk that Kumarajiva was not in the Tongshou Mountain Dojo.
"Where did the Great Wish Heart Bodhisattva go?" Fang Jian asked the young novice monk.
The young novice said: "The Bodhisattva has entered the inner world and cannot return for a while. Please ask Master Hongqing to go into the mountain and rest for a while, so that we can serve tea to Master Hongqing."
"No need." Fang Jian sighed slightly and said, "Thank you for your kindness. I will take my leave."
After saying that, Fang Jian left Tongshou Mountain and continued to the next dojo.
After visiting Kong Kong twice in a row, Fang Jian no longer had any hope for the next ashram, but he still came to the outside of Xiong'er Mountain where the Bodhidharma ashram of 'The Master of Saviors' is located.
"Who is coming?" A young novice saw Fang Jian and immediately shouted to Fang Jian.
Fang Jian cupped his hands and said, "Please tell me that Bodhisattva, the Master of Savior, has come to visit me."
"Ah?" The little novice monk covered his mouth and said in surprise: "You, you, are you Master Hongqing?"
Fang Jian nodded and smiled: "Exactly."
The young novice monk quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Young monk pays homage to Master Hongqing."
"You don't have to be polite. Can Bodhisattva, the Master of Saviors, be in the mountains?" Fang Jian said.
Hearing this, the little novice monk immediately shook his head and said: "The Bodhisattva first settled in the thirty-sixth day. After arriving at Han Chong Miao Chengtian to open a dojo, he went to Nanzhan Buzhou and never returned."
Having said this, the little novice monk continued: "If Master Hongqing wants to see the Bodhisattva, he can go to Nanzhan Buzhou Tianzhu Buddha Country, where the Bodhisattva is discussing the Taoism with Taoists."
On the Road? Are you afraid that you are talking about Taoism with your fists?
However, Fang Jian's visit this time was a complete failure, and the Buddhist meeting had no results. It seemed that the strategy he had proposed to the Jade Emperor in the Lingxiao Palace was difficult to implement for a while.
After leaving Xiong'er Mountain, Fang Jian rode the Third Prince down to the lower world while thinking about whether to visit the last two Buddhist saints. One was Chan Tan Merit Buddha, the ancestor of Faxiang Sect, and the other was Manjushri Bodhisattva, the ancestor of Huayan Sect.
But after thinking about it carefully, Fang Jian gave up the idea of continuing to visit. He should wait for the receipt of the edict first. If there is no receipt, the visit will be useless.
"If the Buddhist community does not cooperate in forming the Xiniu Hezhou Buddhist Association, then I will have to find another way." Fang Jian thought to himself.
But when Fang Jian entered the world of Xuantai Pingyu from Chonghan Miaocheng, a shout suddenly came from behind: "Master Hongqing, Master Hongqing, please stay."
When Fang Jian heard the call, he immediately turned his head and looked back, only to see a Taiyi Xuanxian wearing Taoist robes and disheveled hair flying down from the sky quickly on the cloud light.
"Master Quanyi?" Fang Jian looked at the Taoist in front of him and was slightly surprised. "Master Quanyi called me to stop you. What advice do you have?"
The person who came was none other than Zhang Sanfeng, the great immortal from the Taoist sect.
Zhang Sanfeng stood still in front of Fang Jian. When he heard Fang Jian's words, he smiled and said: "Farewell, Xiaodao doesn't dare to point out Master Hongqing. Xiaodao originally wanted to go to Xitian Mansion to ask for a meeting with Master Hongqing, but he didn't want to see him just after leaving Xitianmen. This is terrible What a coincidence."
Fang Jian was slightly surprised when he heard this and asked, "What does Master Quanyi want from me?"
Zhang Sanfeng cupped his hands and said, "I have something I want to ask you for."
Fang Jian said: "Please speak."
Zhang Sanfeng said: "Does Master Hongqing still remember fellow Taoist Yuan Tiangang?"
Fang Jian nodded and said, "I remember that his disciple had an affair with a fairy and was caught and executed by me personally. What happened?"
Zhang Sanfeng sighed and said: "Fellow Taoist Yuan Tiangang was hit by the method of annihilation of Xuanjiao in Nanzhan Buzhou. The foundation of his Taoism in his whole life was completely destroyed. The fuel was exhausted and the lamp was dry. He was about to die, but he still had one wish that he had not yet fulfilled. That’s why I’m specially invited to ask for mercy from Master Hongqing.”
"Oh?" Fang Jian looked serious and asked, "Why do you ask me?"
Zhang Sanfeng said: "Fellow Taoist Yuan Tiangang wanted to see the child before she sat in reincarnation, but she is now imprisoned in Lei Ze and the time limit has not yet expired, so I asked Master Hongqing to help me and let the child come out to see Yuan The last meeting of fellow Taoist Tiangang."
"So that's it." Fang Jian said slowly.
Zhang Sanfeng looked at Fang Jian sincerely, then bowed and said, "Please be kind to Master Hongqing."
When Fang Jian heard this, he pondered for a moment and said, "I am no longer the God of Justice. You can go to Lei Bu to ask for your favor."
When Zhang Sanfeng heard this, he immediately sighed and said: "Pindao has gone to the Lei Department to find it, but the gods of the Lei Department said that Lei Ze prison is a repeat offender, and he cannot leave Lei Ze without the decree of the Five Thunder Emperors. I He went to visit the Five Thunder Emperors again, but the Five Directions
Lei Di refused to allow it, so he came to see Master Hongqing, hoping that you could help. "
When Fang Jian heard this, he said slowly: "Thunder Emperors from all five directions don't allow it, so it's useless for fellow Taoists to come to me."
Zhang Sanfeng immediately said: "I just ask Master Hongqing for help. Even if I fail to become Taoist Yuan Tiangang, I will have no regrets."
Hearing this, Fang Jian sighed slightly and said, "Having said that, let me go to the Lei Department. If the Five Directions Lei Emperor can agree, I will personally bring the child to see fellow Taoist Yuan Tiangang. Yes. Okay, where is the monastery of fellow Taoist Yuan Tiangang?"
Zhang Sanfeng was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately said: "Master Hongqing's action will be successful immediately. The Taoist Taoist Yuan Tiangang's monastery is located in the Qianhe Mountain of Dongsheng Shenzhou."
"Okay." Fang Jian nodded.
Zhang Sanfeng bowed to Fang Jian and said, "Thank you so much, Master Hongqing."
Fang Jian waved his hand and said, "Fellow Taoist, you can first return to Mount Qianhe to inform fellow Taoist Yuan Tiangang and ask him to persist for at least three days."
"Okay." Zhang Sanfeng cupped his hands and said, "I'll take my leave first."
After Zhang Sanfeng finished speaking, he left Xuantai Ping Yutian and turned into a fairy light and left.
After watching Zhang Sanfeng leave, Fang Jian also turned the third prince's horse's head, and with a loud shout, the third prince galloped out instantly, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into a jade-colored fairy light and ran into the West Heaven Gate.
After Fang Jian entered from Xitian Gate, he went straight to Leibu. After dismounting in front of the Leibu Palace, Fang Jian came to Shenlei Yufu and met Yun Zhihong, the real king of Yufu Prefecture.
"I would like to ask the Lord to inform you that Fang Jian of Xitian Mansion has paid his respects to the Five Thunder Emperors." After Fang Jian and Yun Zhihong greeted each other, they said to Yun Zhihong.
Yun Zhihong nodded, and while ordering people to serve tea to Fang Jian, he issued a talisman and ordered people to report to the Thunder Emperor of Five Directions.
