Seeing the departure of Master Guanyin, Fa Hai sighed in his heart, so what if he is an immortal Buddha?
Can a great Bodhisattva like Guanyin really achieve transcendence?
To be born into the world, to save all sentient beings, to cut off karma and punish sins... What Fahai wants at this moment is just a clear conscience.
He thought of a friend he met who was banished to the mortal world. He seemed to be living a crazy life, but in fact he was suffering from the world of mortals. This time he also had some insights. The so-called wine and meat passed through the intestines, but the Buddha stayed in his heart.
The one sitting in his heart is the Buddha.
The Buddha is a Buddha, the Buddha is not a Buddha, and Namo is Amitabha.
That night.
It was rare for Fahai to not practice spiritual practice. He did not enter the house behind him. Instead, he sat cross-legged in front of the door, looking at the twelfth yin, and meditated quietly all night.
The great sage ate some fruits at random and picked up a Buddhist scripture that he had copied before. He read it silently without making a sound;
Xiao Bailong took Sha Monk with a spear and went to the back mountain. They didn't come back until the sun was shining;
Only Bajie, after really eating and drinking, wanted to take a deep sleep, but found that he couldn't fall asleep... In the past, when he wanted to be lazy and sleep, his senior brother and master would always be there. The others urged me to practice. The more they urged me, the more sleepy I became. But now no one bothered him, and he was extremely awake... As a last resort, he had to sit up and practice to see if he could get back the lost sleepiness.
...
After passing the four holy test levels of Zen mind, the master and the disciples each gained something.
This road continued to the west, but this time everyone did not take a special path. It was Xiao Bailong who found out that there was a great immortal dojo nearby, and the monsters did not dare to cause trouble here. Knowing that there was a great immortal, Xiao Bailong naturally did not dare to inquire deeply in case of misunderstanding, so he followed him all the way.
Along the way, we also met many store owners, who not only gave Bajie a few hearty meals, but also packed a lot of dry food.
"Master." The great sage approached the master and said, "I forgot something last time. I happened to meet three great bodhisattvas. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity... but I should first let the bodhisattvas give guidance to my disciples. How is the recitation of Buddhist scriptures..."
After hearing this, Bajie said repeatedly: "Senior Brother, please don't. If you reveal such a secret in advance, the Buddha will not give you a chance to speak when you go to Lingshan Mountain."
"Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother is right."
Hahaha--
There were constant laughter and laughter along the way, but where were the difficulties and obstacles?
It's more like enjoying the scenery all the way to the west.
After walking for a short time, I saw a good mountain blocking the road ahead. It was really a high and steep mountain with majestic momentum.
Their masters and disciples came all the way to the west. This was the first time they saw such a beautiful mountain. What they had seen in the past were all rugged and steep, but there was a blessing gathering aura. Compared with this mountain, it looked like clouds and mud.
"The sun shines brightly, the forest is surrounded by red mist, and the wind blows over the dark valleys and colorful clouds fly." Seeing this magnificent scene, Fahai was also in a cheerful mood and praised a few words: "What a beautiful scenery, it is really a beautiful scenery."
"Old Zhu, I look just ordinary. It's no different from my Fuling Mountain. Isn't it also a mountain? Isn't it also these plants and trees?" Bajie said, changing the subject: "It's just a virtuous and eminent monk like Master. If you can see the mystery, how can there be any difference in the eyes of ordinary people like Lao Zhu? Brother Monkey...you think so or not?"
"Go, go." The Great Sage pushed him twice and said, "I don't know anything else. I only know that the peaches and plums in this mountain are sweeter than the wild fruits in your Fuling Mountain."
He held two big peaches in his hand, wiped the peach hairs on his clothes, and then brought them to Master: "Master, eat a peach."
"This mountain top scene with flowers blooming and fading, the peaks on the ridge with clouds coming and going, pines, cypresses and bamboos fighting for thousands of years, peaches, plums and willows competing for beauty in three springs... Do you still remember what the solar term was before we entered the mountain?" Fahai said smoothly. He took the peach and asked them a question.
Sha Monk opened his mouth and continued: "Winter is coming soon."
Only then did everyone realize that this place was actually a place where it was like spring all year round?
"It seems to be a blessed place in the fairyland."
Everyone immediately calmed down a bit, and even the Great Sage's steps became more steady.
.....
This mountain is called Longevity Mountain.
There is a temple in the mountain called Wuzhuang Temple.
There is an immortal in the temple, his Taoist name is Zhen Yuanzi, and he is named Tongjun in the world.
Before Monk Quetang and his disciples entered the mountain, he got a Dharma sticker, which was the simple sticker of Yuanshi Tianzun among the Three Pure Ones.
He ordered all his disciples, then called the two youngest ones to come over, and said: "My master is going to Shangqing Tianmiluo Palace to listen to Yuanshi Tianzun's talk about the 'Hunyuan Dao Fruit'. You guys can get two ginseng fruits. I'll Take it with you to heaven."
"yes."
There are countless loose immortals who came from the Great Immortal's sect, and there are currently forty-eight of them who are still in the temple and have never become disciples. They are all Quanzhen who have attained Taoism. This time, he was going to take away forty-six people, leaving only the two youngest housekeepers. After the two of them got the ginseng fruit, the immortal held the ginseng fruit in his hands and ordered as he walked: "You two During the stay-at-home observation, you must carefully monitor the ginseng fruit trees in the backyard and make sure there are no mistakes."
"Yes." The two disciples agreed repeatedly.
"Bright breeze, bright moon." Immortal Zhenyuan suddenly stopped and turned around to look at the two of them: "Today, Tang Sanzang from the Eastern Land came to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures. He passed by me to observe... He is my old friend, you guys. Don't be negligent. You can break two more ginseng fruits and give them to him to eat as a token of old love."
Qingfeng and Mingyue were quite puzzled when they heard the words, and asked doubtfully: "Master, we are from Taiyi Xuanmen, how can we have friendship with that monk?"
"Ah ha ha ha -" Immortal Zhenyuan laughed a few times, "How did you know that? That monk is the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, the second disciple of Tathagata Buddha. Five hundred years ago, he and I were at the Lanpen Meeting 'I'm acquainted with you. He once served tea with his own hands, and Buddhist disciples respected me, so I am an old friend."
Before leaving, the great immortal said one more thing: "Although Tripitaka is an old friend, you must not provoke his disciples to avoid causing trouble."
The two boys took the order, and the Immortal Cloud of Zhenyuan Great Immortal carried all the disciples up to heaven.
...
His master and his disciples were walking along the mountain road, and when they looked up, they saw a cluster of pine trees and several floors of pavilions.
Fa Hai looked at it from afar and said to his disciples: "It seems that we have arrived at the Great Immortal Dojo."
After a while, everyone came to the front of the door. They saw the cold pine slopes, the quiet bamboo paths, the wide pool in front of the door and the long shadows of the trees, and the palace was extremely dense and purple. Isn't this a blessed land and spiritual area?
Fahai stepped forward to take a look, and saw a stele on the left side of the mountain gate. There were ten big characters on the stele, which read, "Wanshou Mountain is a blessed land, and Wuzhuang is a view of the cave."... He thought that was indeed the case. Because when he learned from Xiaobailong that this place was Longevity Mountain, he knew that this mountain was the location of the Taoist temple of Zhen Yuanzi, who was known as the ancestor of the earth immortals, so he was not surprised.
He was just not sure for a moment whether this place was another disaster set by the gods and Buddhas.
While he was swaying, he heard the Great Sage ask: "Master, can we go in for a visit?"
All the disciples looked over, especially Bajie, and groaned: "Old Zhu, I don't want anything else, I just want a full meal... Master, can you see how grand this Taoist temple is... .”
The Great Sage pinched his ears: "Eat, eat, eat! You know how to eat!"
Fahai recited Amitabha and said in his heart: This great immortal is extraordinary. If I pass through his mountain gate without entering, it would be a bit disrespectful.
Thinking of this, Fahai recited the Buddha's name and said: "Amitabha, you guys, don't do anything without permission, Ao Lie... go and explore the door to see if the Immortal Temple welcomes guests?"
Xiao Bailong walked to the door, looked around a few times, knocked on the door again, and asked several times in the direction of the concierge: "Is there anyone there?"
But there was no response.
Xiao Bailong turned around and said, "Master, the Taoist temple is empty. Could it be that no one is home?"
"If that's the case, it's just an unlucky thing that I've been waiting for... The master is not here, and you can't trespass without permission." Seeing that, Fahai felt relieved. It's not that I don't visit, but that I have some feelings for you. Respect, seeing that you were not at home, I didn't break into your house without permission. "While it's still bright, let's hurry up and get out of the mountain first."
With that said, he took the lead and left.
