Don’t say anything else.
Master Tripitaka's appearance and temperament... no matter where he goes, he can definitely be called a high monk.
The old man thought of what the two leopard-headed mountain monsters had said not long ago, and asked, "Is the monk a Master Tripitaka from the Tang Dynasty?"
"Amitabha." Fahai smiled and said, "It's the poor monk, the old benefactor. The poor monk is polite."
The old man smiled happily, and then shouted: "Folks, come and see, Master Tripitaka is here!"
Wow——
After this shout, Fa Hai was already surrounded by the people in the market. The traders stopped looking at the stalls and did not bother to buy goods when they went to the market. At this moment, Master Sanzang was the only one in his eyes.
Of course... some ladies would hold Xiao Bailong's hand very kindly and start asking him how old he was? Where are you from? Where are your parents at home? Why are there brothers and sisters, etc.?
In the end, it always ends with introducing him to a caring person.
It was gentle at first, but in the end it became a mess. One person said that his girl was dignified and beautiful, and the other said that his daughter was well-educated... and then a war of words broke out.
Compared with the commotion here at Xiao Bailong, Master's place naturally has to be more calm. After all, it is an eminent monk who is in front of them, so they don't dare to be too presumptuous in case they conflict with the Dharma.
Of course, even if they are more wanton, Fahai will definitely not take it to heart.
As for words that conflict with Buddhism, it is even less tenable for him. If he meets a monk who confuses all living beings with such a name, he will have no choice but to lead him to the right path.
Tell the other person what the true Dharma is.
In fact, for these ordinary people, what is Buddhism?
It's not about those profound scriptures, but when you are born in this world, you should do what you really should do at all times, such as sleeping when you are sleepy, eating when you are hungry, and having fun when you want to... Of course , if you make a mistake, you must accept punishment and never regret it.
As for those profound principles, apart from monks like them who specialize in studying Buddhist scriptures, what meaning do they have to ordinary beings?
It is better to have a sweet rain and have a bumper harvest in autumn; it is better for a woman to find a good match, a loving husband and wife, and a harmonious family...
Fahai has always said that life is a practice, that's all.
It's just that those people who live in the mountains and seem to be detached from the mortal world have taken the wrong path.
The Bodhisattva wanted to let them come down the mountain, so he gave up his position as the Tathagata, the True Dharma Ming, and took on thousands of incarnations to save all sentient beings and set an example for Buddhism, but only a few people should follow him.
Fahai didn't know if Buddha wanted to go down the mountain for a walk, but he knew that Buddha hadn't been out of Lingshan Mountain for a long time... When did it start?
It seems that the last time the Buddha came out of the Spirit Mountain was when Wukong was causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace. It was the Buddha who took action and pinned Wukong under the Five Fingers Mountain. It is said to be five hundred years ago, but in fact it has been more than six hundred years ago.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that since the Buddha became the Buddha, he has transformed into a Buddha statue and sat high in the Great Leiyin Temple in Lingshan. Except for the time when he suppressed Wukong, Fahai could not have imagined that the Buddha would take action in the Three Realms for the second time.
This is obviously another question that I can't figure out for a while. Fahai keeps it in my mind for the time being. When I get to Lingshan, I might be able to ask the Buddha for advice in person.
After leaving Qianfangji, we arrived at Leopard Head Mountain not long after.
Fa Hai took a cursory look and smiled at Xiao Bailong: "Although it has some evil spirit, it can still be considered a good mountain."
"The dragon's veins are long and the terrain is vast." Xiao Bailong also commented: "The Yao grass is covered with grass, and the exotic flowers are covered with brocade; and there are also these pines and old cypresses, all of which are evergreen ancient trees...especially the extraordinary mountains. , dragons coming from far away, nine bends and nine bays hidden in the earth... Although this mountain is only more than 200 miles away, it is enough to support an immortal, let alone a cave demon king. It's a pity... Tsk tsk tsk.”
"What's a pity?"
"Master, it's a pity that the mountain owner doesn't have much knowledge after all, so he called a mountain range Leopard Head Mountain."
"Amitabha." Fahai laughed: "It's just a mountain name. It looks like a leopard's head, so what if it's called Leopard Head Mountain? Didn't he also say that his cave is called Tiger's Mouth Cave?"
Speaking of the name of this mountain range, those fairy caves are the real benefactors of fairy energy, such as Jinxia Cave in Yuquan Mountain, Jinguang Cave in Qianyuan Mountain, Babao Yunguang Cave in Jiuding Tiesha Mountain, etc., and they are full of fairy spirit upon hearing it.
Not all immortal caves are like this... For example, the White Bone Cave in Skull Mountain of Empress Shiji, it sounds like the place where a big devil practiced.
Of course, Empress Shiji is actually a decent female cultivator. She only suffered an unreasonable disaster before she was listed on the list of gods... So much so that now that Nezha has become sensible, he always takes a detour when meeting Empress Shiji in the heaven. of.
But it is undeniable that there was indeed an evil cultivator who once occupied this Bone Cave in Skull Mountain. He was Ma Yuan, the Yiqi Immortal of Jiejiao back then, and now Ma Yuanzun Wangfo.
Originally, Fa Hai wanted to visit the man-eating Buddha in person, but later he heard about it from the Lord Erlang and found out that he had been saved by the Buddha, the Lord Dharmajie and Jin Zha, and his true spirit was still scattered. In the three realms.
To put it in the most popular terms, the ashes have been blown away... When he first heard the news, Fahai felt a little regretful even though he was happy.
The master and the apprentice said a few words and then went up the mountain.
There was a little demon patrolling the mountain waiting here, and he saw Master Sanzang and Little White Dragon at a glance. All the little demons in the mountain had already seen the pattern, and this little demon was no exception. He hurriedly stepped forward. Greeting him, he said: "I am here to wait for the Master on the order of the King... Master, please come into the mountain."
He greeted them with his mouth, but said in his heart: "Fortunately, Weird and Cunning came back first, otherwise Master Sanzang would have lost face to the king and the old king if he had allowed Master Sanzang to come to the front."
Fa Hai and Xiao Bai Long looked at the face of the little monster and said in their hearts: What an ugly monster! How come you have such a vicious face?
This little demon has two round eyes, as bright as a lamp; its red hair shines like fire.
Bad nose, bad mouth, sharp fangs; check the ears, cut off the forehead, blue face with blisters.
Wearing a light yellow dress and walking on a pair of sandalwood shoes...if he were placed in the human world, he would definitely be a ferocious ghost that could make children stop crying at night.
Little Bailong thought to himself, along the way, apart from the heroic appearance of the big roc when it transformed into a human form, even the big demon kings such as the Green Lion, the White Elephant, and the Bull Demon King also looked ferocious... On the contrary, Those female fairies, not to mention the White Bone Fairy, the Spider Fairy and the Mouse Fairy, are so beautiful. Even the little fairies who work as maids in the ordinary caves all look upright and have their own charm.
Why such a big contrast?
Xiao Bailong was curious, but it was definitely not appropriate to ask in front of others. After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Bailong decided to go back and ask his senior brother or second senior brother... I believe they would have some experience.
Surrounded by green mountains, the city is connected with energy.
When the green-faced little demon was leading the master and his apprentice all the way to the Tiger's Mouth Cave, the little white dragon suddenly moved his nose, stopped, and whispered to the master: "Master, there is the smell of blood."
Then Xiao Bailong pointed towards the depths of the jungle and said, "In that direction."
The green-faced little demon's expression immediately darkened. He was considered a big figure in the mountain, otherwise he wouldn't be the one to receive the special reception at the foot of the mountain. After listening to the words of the little white dragon, he quickly said: "I'll go and see what's going on. thing."
Your Majesty has repeatedly ordered that you must be in peace today. How can anyone dare to go against the trend?
Do you not want to live anymore?
If you don’t want to gain the Buddhist relationship between Master Tripitaka and White Dragon Bodhisattva, why don’t you implicate us?
The green-faced little demon walked over to take a look, and then breathed a sigh of relief. He called Master Sanzang and Xiao Bailong to come over and said: "It was a trap set some time ago. Today, a stupid deer accidentally entered it... Master , I didn’t mean to see blood today, there are actually many little monsters in the mountain, and this trap is always prepared in the mountain..."
"It's okay." Fahai signaled the little green-faced demon to be calm and said with a smile: "Because the poor monk is a monk, he does not kill animals at ordinary times, let alone eat meat; but this is only a binding commandment for the poor monk and his disciples. ...I can control the poor monks, but I cannot control you, let alone all the living beings in the world."
"Since this deer is dead, let's take it back to the cave with it."
The little green-faced demon scratched his head. He probably understood the meaning of Master Sanzang's words. He felt that Master Sanzang was indeed very different from the local monks...not like a serious monk.
Although he didn't know what Master Sanzang wanted him to do by taking Lu Ye back with him, he still did it.
As we gradually approached the door, we saw a group of miscellaneous fairies, large and small, gathering under the flower trees. They seemed to be playing, but in fact they were all watching the group of Master Tripitaka and White Dragon Bodhisattva coming up the mountain.
But when they saw the little green-faced demon carrying a wild deer that had just died and whose meat was still fresh... they were even more shocked.
Not to mention these little demons, even the yellow lion spirit who had been waiting to greet the cave entrance was startled by this scene. But at this moment, he wanted to maintain the majesty of the king and not show any cowardice, so he forced himself to stand still.
"Mountain Master, this poor monk came here uninvited and still wants to see Haihan."
"How dare you, how dare you." Huang Shijing said hurriedly: "The Master's arrival will bring glory to this mountain. You can't get it."
After that, he looked at the deer and asked the green-faced little demon with a very serious expression: "What's going on with this deer?"
Qingmian wanted to quickly make the deer fall into the trap and die, but Master Sanzang ordered him to tell the story of bringing the deer back to the mountain one by one.
After Huang Shijing heard this, he stepped a little firmer on his feet. He turned slightly to one side and said, "I'll make the mage laugh, please come in, please come in -"
When entering the cave, Huang Shijing asked casually: "I wonder why the Master asked the green-faced man to bring the deer back?"
"May I ask the mountain master, why did you set the trap?"
Huang Shijing was stunned for a moment, "Of course it's hunting."
"What's the use of the prey?"
"The meat is cooked and eaten, and the skins are either made into clothing or traded in the market for silver."
"In that case, why not take it back?" Fahai asked him.
"Ah this..." Huang Shijingwen was stunned for a moment by these words, but he still subconsciously answered: "Isn't this why you are here... It is not easy to see the bloody nature of killing, and I am afraid that the light of blood will conflict with the Dharma. "
"Amitabha." Fa Hai recited the Buddha's name and sighed helplessly: "How can a poor monk be such an inconvenient person? How can Buddhism be such an inconvenience? I'm afraid the mountain owner has never been exposed to Buddhism before, right?"
Master Tripitaka was always able to speak astonishingly, and Huang Shijing was a little used to it now. He recorded the first two sentences that Master Tripitaka said in his mind, and replied: "It's all hearsay... I haven't really studied the Buddhist scriptures. "
Huang Shijing's eyes suddenly lit up as he spoke, and he said, "Master is here, please give me some advice."
"But if you ask, tell me everything you know."
"Please, Master, let's go into the mansion first." Huang Shijing said and was about to lead Master Tripitaka inside.
But the little green-faced demon carrying the deer beside him was so anxious that he winked at the king repeatedly and kept shaking the deer on his shoulders... as if to say, what should be done with this deer?
Huang Shijing looked at Master Sanzang, but saw that Master Sanzang just smiled and had no intention of making the decision for him... Huang Shijing thought for a moment, went over what Master Sanzang had just said, and then came up with an immature idea. , then he firmed up his thoughts and ordered to the green-faced little demon: "After the deer has been cleaned up, you can eat all the meat... There is no need to send it to the king and the mage."
"The owner of the mountain can eat it as much as he wants." Fahai said: "You eat your meat, and I eat my vegetarian food. It doesn't matter."
"Hey, what are you talking about?" Huang Shijing waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Today the little monsters can eat such venison, it is because of the blessing of the mage... Although I am rude, I also know the etiquette, little monsters That's all, today I will fast like the Master, so the Master doesn't need to say anything more."
"Amitabha." Fahai recited the Buddha's name and said no more.
After entering the hall on the second floor, I saw another old Taoist in the cave, with a superb aura and piercing eyes.
Xiao Bailong was frightened when he saw it, and said to himself: "What a powerful Taoist priest, his aura is as unpredictable as the abyss, and I can't detect him at all... Presumably, he is the master behind this yellow lion spirit according to the master." "
It's just that... he turned out to be a Taoist priest.
Are there any Taoists practicing in this Buddhist realm of Tianzhu?
This Taoist priest is naturally no one else. He is the ancestor of Huang Shijing, Jiuling Yuan Sheng.
Xiao Bailong couldn't tell his true identity, and it was difficult for Fahai to detect his heels without using the Ksitigarbha Dharma Eye, but he could still tell at a glance that he was not a human being.
Just because the other party has pure Taoist cultivation and no karma... plus the fact that he can restrain a demon king like Huang Shijing, it can be seen that he is not a demon causing harm to the world, but an extraordinary spirit.
"Master." Huang Shijing quickly introduced to Master Sanzang: "This is my grandfather, known as the Nine Spirits Yuansheng..."
"Grandpa, this is Master Tripitaka."
The two sides looked at each other, but each bowed, with no follow-up for a while.
When Huang Shijing saw it, he hurriedly explained: "Master, don't be surprised, it was me who invited the grandfather here on my own initiative... I know the master's name, I got it from my grandfather, so yesterday the master said that he would come to the mountain in person, I went to invite my grandfather all night..."
"I have heard Master Sanzang's name for a long time, and I have long wanted to meet him in person... It just so happened that my grandson had this chance, so the old Taoist took advantage of his good fortune to meet Master Sanzang." Jiuling Yuansheng bowed again and said: "Master, please don't blame me."
"Amitabha." Fahai said the Buddha's name: "The poor monk is just an ordinary monk. I just hope that the donor will not be disappointed when he sees it."
"Hahahahaha——" Jiuling Yuan Sheng suddenly laughed out loud and said very enthusiastically: "Master is really a wonderful person. I have been in the world for many years, but I have never seen a monk like Master in this Tianzhu... Today If you live in the mountains, you might as well use the mountains to discuss Taoism. May I ask Master what you think?"
"I am about to confirm what I have learned with the Taoist priest."
Fahai would never refuse to talk about Taoism, and he was such an experienced Taoist who could tell at a glance that he had profound cultivation...
