Especially the Tushita Palace of Taishang Laojun, which is the Lihen Heaven above the thirty-third heaven.
As for his Qitian Mansion, it was built on the ninth level of heaven along with the mansions of many gods. This cannot be explained by being drunk and accidentally taking the wrong path.
Therefore, when he ate the golden elixir to his fullest and relieved himself from the alcohol, he suddenly woke up and realized that he had caused a big disaster, so he simply went to hell again.
In comparison, just eating flat peaches in the flat peach garden was not a big deal. It even became a topic of conversation after dinner.
It was from then on that the Great Sage became a famous "thief leader" in the Three Realms.
Now the Great Sage worships Master Sanzang and concentrates on practicing the right way. However, after this matter spread, it caused another turmoil. That is, the people of the Tang Dynasty's thieves began to worship the ranking statues of the Great Sage. And they also He wants to worship the Great Sage and become another ancestor of the Thief Sect.
In the past, they worshiped Robber Zhi and Dongfang Shuo.
Robber Zhi, also known as Liu Xia Zhi, was a hero in the Spring and Autumn Period. According to records, Robber Zhi had nine thousand followers and went rampant throughout the world, invading the princes. In the towns he passed through, big countries defended the city, and small countries entered the defense. However, he also followed the code of conduct of thieves and thieves. Although he was called a big thief, he was actually a rebel leader who led slaves to resist oppression.
And his elder brother was Liu Xiahui, a wise minister of the Lu State at that time.
As for Dongfang Shuo, as a mortal, he went to the peach garden in heaven to steal peaches, and actually asked him to steal two peaches. This shows that his skills are superb. You must know that he is not a "guardian who steals" like the great sage.
Thief Zhi has been dead for many years, and Dongfang Shuo has been in Penglai for a long time. It is not the same for the great sage who is the ancestor of thieves. When he learned that these thieves were worshiping him, he directly followed the power of incense to appear everywhere. Caught those thieves and brought them to justice. Those who should be educated should be sent to the government, and those who should be sent to the government.
In short, after being taught by the Great Sage, each of them has changed their evil ways and returned to the right path. This is because the Great Sage lives up to the Master's teachings, and it is a meritorious deed.
That is to say, they did some stealing, not seeking wealth or killing. Otherwise, if the Great Sage is summoned, they may not have a chance to correct their evil ways.
Of course, there were also some stubborn people who refused to listen to the Great Sage's advice. The Great Sage had no choice but to recite a few verses, and the effect was naturally immediate.
The thieves cried bitterly one by one, saying that they would change their minds and start a new life.
The Great Sage was very satisfied with this and agreed that they could continue to enshrine their tablets as long as they were dedicated to good deeds.
Therefore, some thieves carefully asked: "Master, can we rob the rich and give to the poor in the future? It's not that we are itchy, the main reason is that it would be a pity if this craft was lost."
The Great Sage thought for a while and then said: "It's not impossible, but you have to remember that you can only rob those who are rich and unkind. If I, Sun, know that you are attacking kind people, humph, you know the consequences."
"It's easy!" A boy said with a smile: "There may be good people among the wealthy businessmen who robbed those robbers, but those robbers who robbed homes are definitely not among them."
When the Great Sage heard this, he felt that the treasures that his master and disciples had when they traveled westward were also left behind by the mountain bandits who occupied the mountains and became kings.
If these thieves regard themselves as their ancestors, it can be regarded as a legacy.
Afterwards, a group of "robbers" appeared in the world who robbed the rich and helped the poor. They all wore monkey masks and claimed to be the disciples of the Great Sage.
Great Sage:.
Because of this, the Great Sage had to carry this culprit's blame so hard that he couldn't take it off easily.
But when I mentioned this matter to Master later, Master took a positive attitude towards the matter. There was only one thing. The actions of the disciples of the Great Saint Sect must be guided by a core program. If it was just a verbal agreement, , act without scruples, so if the Great Saint Sect is used by someone with intentions in the future, good things may turn into bad things.
This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened in the Three Realms.
In the words of the Master, this is the rise of the Great Saint Sect of Karma, and it is entirely due to oneself, so this responsibility must be borne by oneself, and the Great Saint will naturally not shirk it.
And he also specifically asked the six-eared macaque to let this junior disciple, who is a junior disciple, help listen to the situation in the Great Saint Sect from time to time. If they go out of their way in any way, he will be notified directly to him.
And left behind a communication tool made of his own monkey hair.
The six-eared macaque learned such spells easily after asking the Great Sage to understand the principles. This also made a great contribution to improving the efficiency of the work of the Zhenjun Temple.
The Roaring Sky Dog, which was originally used to run errands and deliver messages, now has a lot of free time. Well, it can now spend more time with Young Master Yang.
The most nervous young master in the Yang family is none other than Xiaotian Quan. Although young Master Yang has been calling Xiaotian Quan uncle since he could speak, Xiaotian Quan still puts himself before the dog. In terms of position, he regards Young Master Yang as his young master.
Even if Yang Jian spoke, it would not work.
This is exactly the loyalty of the Roaring Sky Dog. At that time, the Meishan brothers were surprised that they could be brothers with the second master, but the Roaring Sky Dog was willing to be the second master's dog. Later, they learned that their masters had a history of sharing hardships together. , even the second master was willing to give up his own life for the Xiaotian Dog, and then he understood why the Xiaotian Dog was so loyal to the second master.
At the same time, it also made them admire the second master more and willing to serve under the second master.
Fahai collected the flat peaches. The flat peaches bloomed in special flower baskets and could be preserved for a long time. Unlike the ginseng fruit, if they are not eaten in time, they will lose their effectiveness.
After some calculation, everyone thought that the Queen Mother had calculated that there happened to be eight disciples of Master Tripitaka. Counting Master Tripitaka himself, there were nine people in total, and they could divide the nine peaches one by one.
There is no need to worry about others.
Bamei and Xingxian got off the altar, and saw her sister, Princess Longji, waving to them. Xingxian said that she would not go there, so Bamei whispered a few words to Xingxian, and walked to Princess Longji alone. beside.
"Sister, brother-in-law."
Princess Longji looked at her little sister and said with a smile: "Are you still used to doing errands in the True Lord Temple?"
"Cousin Erlang treats me very well. I learned a lot at the True Lord Temple."
Seeing that the younger sister was doing well in the lower realm, Princess Long Ji nodded slightly, and then said: "This time I came to the lower realm to attend the opening ceremony of the Consciousness-Wei Sect for just one session. I also have an important matter that needs to be paid attention to." Let’s go to Junshen Temple. After the ceremony is over, we’ll just stop by and go there together.”
"Okay." The eighth sister immediately smiled and said: "Then these days, the little sister will have to pester the elder sister."
After saying that, the eighth sister glanced at Hong Jin and said deliberately: "Brother-in-law, please lend me your sister for a few days."
Hong Jin's eyebrows trembled slightly, don't think I don't know, you two sisters have never seen each other in the past, but now you look like sisters.
I had known that this eighth princess was weird, but now I have seen it.
But no matter what, Hong Jin would not raise any objections in this matter, so he took this opportunity to let the two sisters get acquainted with each other and build a relationship.
The longer their sisters stay in the human world, the more time Hong Jin himself can relax in the human world. For the righteous gods like them who are on the list of gods, it is really not easy to have a legitimate reason to go to the lower world. .
Princess Long Ji is in charge of the Marriage Hall. The reason why she suddenly stopped this eighth sister, whom she had barely met, was that she could see some clues from this little girl.
In fact, the aura of marriage in everyone present was all within Princess Longji's detection. The aura of marriage in most people was relatively simple and clear.
A few of them are tangled up in a ball and become messy even if they are not sorted out by cutting. But this is nothing.
Only when Long Ji looked towards the Imperial Family of the Tang Dynasty was his real eye-opener. There were not many good things!
"Namo the Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva."
At this moment, everyone in the temple chanted the Bodhisattva's holy name in unison. This was when the Bodhisattva ascended the altar.
"Amitabha."
The Bodhisattva and Fahai bowed to each other, chanted the Buddha's name at the same time, and then looked at each other and smiled.
"It has only been fifteen years since the last time the poor monk came to Chang'an to select Buddhist scriptures and go to Daleiyin Temple in Lingshan Mountain, Xitian. But he never thought that Tang Sanzang, an ordinary monk, had already attained the enlightenment of the Holy Buddha. Now he is teaching in Ci'en Temple. The establishment of the sect is really a blessing for Buddhism, a blessing for the three realms, and a blessing for all living beings. It is a joy and congratulation."
In the face of the Bodhisattva's praise, even though Fahai was fully qualified to accept it, he still spoke a few words modestly and expressed his attitude: "A young monk is an ordinary monk for one day, and he will be an ordinary monk for life. With the title of Holy Buddha attached to him, he is sincere and frightened. , but the ambition to transform sentient beings in the three realms will never change; the desire to kill demons will never change."
"Sanzang, please take a look——"
The Bodhisattva did not bother too much with Tripitaka, but flew directly to the clouds. Then he pointed with a willow branch and saw a line of blue light coming out of Ci'en Temple and heading straight to the back garden of the temple.
Everyone's eyes quickly followed the green light, only to see that the green light directly opened a spring in the rockery in the back garden of Ci'en Temple.
Huh?
Someone made a soft sound.
Initially, they thought that there was a fairy spring hidden in Ci'en Temple, but after careful inspection, they found that this spring was ordinary and not considered fairy water.
Just when they didn't know why, they saw the Bodhisattva in the cloud directly turning his mutton-fat jade pure bottle sideways, and the "Three Lights Divine Water" hidden in it was poured into the spring by the Bodhisattva as if it was free of charge. among.
boom!
For a moment, the surrounding spiritual energy gathered crazily towards the spring.
At this time, the Bodhisattva has returned to his original state. He is holding the jade purification bottle in one hand and holding the willow branch at the mouth of the bottle with the other hand. He slowly lowers his cloud head and smiles at the corner of his mouth.
The Bodhisattva said: It doesn't matter if it's not a fairy spring, just make one.
If others want to build a fairy spring, it is because they are weak-minded, but for the Bodhisattva it is not a problem at all.
Moreover, a small half bottle of Sanguang Divine Water was poured into it. Don't you see, those dragon clans are all bright-eyed, they even want to come to this rockery fairy spring and become the Dragon King of the Spring.
The Bodhisattva's move was a big deal, but everyone knew the relationship between the Bodhisattva and Master Tripitaka, so they didn't think there was anything wrong with this matter.
But it's not over yet.
After the Bodhisattva stood on the altar, he took out an object from his sleeve. However, she held the object in her hand. Everyone could only see the Buddha's light from the object. It could actually shine through the Bodhisattva's hand in all directions. Through it, he still couldn't see what it was that the Bodhisattva was holding in his hand.
The Bodhisattva is not a person who likes to show off, but some things must be suppressed later. The Bodhisattva said: "I, Buddha Tathagata, sit in Lingshan Mountain and cannot come to Ci'en Temple in person to congratulate the opening of the Consciousness-only Sect, so I entrusted a poor monk to deliver this This relic is a gift for the founding of the sect."
Relics!
"This is what the former leader of Lingshan, Upārata Buddha, left behind after he sat down and passed away." The Bodhisattva spread his hands and let the Buddha's light shine in front of people. "I, Buddha Tathagata, said that among those in the three realms who can obtain Hinayana teachings and Mahayana, Tripitaka has one ear. Why should the relics return to the Hinayana heaven of liberation?"
hiss--
After hearing this, no one in the room could remain calm. Even the Immortal Zhenyuan and Mr. Lishan were more or less surprised.
I didn't expect Tathagata to be so courageous.
You must know that the relics left by Upaladha Buddha are by no means comparable to ordinary relics.
Compared with the relic originally enshrined in Saiguo Jinguang Temple, there is a huge difference between the two.
At the same time, an unsolved case from that year has finally come to a conclusion today.
After the previous Buddha in Lingshan passed away, there was no news about the whereabouts of the Buddha's relics. After all, the Buddha had passed away, so how could he not have left any relics?
Among them, Tathagata Buddha is naturally one of the "suspects", and the others are "Jieyin Buddha", "Maitreya Buddha", etc. Some people even suspect that Taiqing Saint took it away.
But today, the truth came to light on Tathagata Buddha, and this mystery was solved.
But this hot potato fell into the hands of Master Sanzang.
Yes, in the eyes of everyone, there is no doubt that the relic is a hot potato at this moment. Some people even like to make up their minds and have begun to conceive of a story about the grievances and hatreds between Lingshan Great Leiyin Temple and Ci'en Temple Weishi Sect.
In particular, Tathagata Buddha and Jin Chanzi, who were originally masters and disciples, why did one set up his own school and left Lingshan to found the Consciousness Only Sect? Why did the other, in the name of sending gifts, actually divert trouble to the east?
Why on earth did they turn against each other?
What puzzled them the most was that why did the Bodhisattva agree to the Buddha to present this relic of the predecessor Buddha Upaladha, even though he had a close relationship with Master Tripitaka?
"Thank you Lord Buddha for the treasure."
Fahai did not refuse, he even clasped his hands in the direction of Lingshan Mountain in the west and performed a Buddhist salute.
"Thank you Bodhisattva."
Fahai bowed to the Bodhisattva again.
The two of them looked at each other. The Bodhisattva saw that Fahai's mind was unwavering, and he was even more amazed in his heart. He knew that when he was entrusted by the Buddha, it was difficult to calm down for a while.
