(The Buddha has the Five Wisdoms of the Great Sun, which have been handed down from generation to generation and transformed into five mountains)

Lanfeng and the others flew over the city and looked at Mount Wutai. The five peaks were surrounded by east, west, north, and south, with a single peak standing in the center. There were clusters of buildings at the foot of the mountain that were not disturbed by external wars, but they seemed to be temples and pavilions.

Not only at the foot of the mountain, there are countless temples on every peak of Mount Wutai, from the mountainside to the top of the mountain. I am afraid that the Great Leiyin Temple in Xitian is only as prosperous as this.

The five peaks stand here, and the dragon veins in the north are shaking; the sea peaks are in the east, and the vast sea of ​​clouds on the cliff is undulating and orderly, as if you are looking at the treasure land of the sea; there is the Hanging Moon Peak in the west, and you can see the stars and moon falling from the top of the peak at night, like a hanging mirror shining in the sky; and there is a brocade in the south. On the peak, you can see purple clouds rising in the morning and red clouds in the evening, like rouge slipping down for nine days; in the north is Ye Dou Peak, which overlooks the mountains, with tall and steep walls, pointing to the sun and moon; in the middle is the Cuiyan Peak, with a broad and flat peak. You can see the strange mountains on all sides, which means that you are sitting in the dojo with the blessing of the four dharma.

What a beautiful miniature scene of the dragon veins, the magical lotus platform of Mount Wutai!

Several people were standing on the clouds, and Lan Feng asked: "What do you mean, go up the mountain directly?"

Mo Yun said: "Let's go explore these five peaks first."

Well, everyone took the lead and landed on the Jinxiu Peak in the south. However, they saw that there was no monk in this majestic temple. They looked around and found that there seemed to be no clues about these Buddha statues. They went to the four peaks in the east, west, north, and middle one after another, but the situation remained the same...

"It's strange, it's sunset, why don't we see the monk return?" Lanfeng muttered. He had stayed at Jinshan Temple for seven years, and he knew the monk's routine well. Could it be that a Buddhist family lives in two different routines in Mount Wutai?

Hai Yesheng looked through the sea of ​​clouds with his eagle eyes, and he saw that there seemed to be lights under the peak.

"Young Master, there seems to be some activity on the mountainside." He said.

After hearing this, Lan Feng and Mo Yun looked at each other, then turned back and flew down the mountainside with the others, only to see these monks walking up from the foot of the mountain holding torches one after another.

Mo Yun said: "I just went to these five dangerous peaks, but I didn't feel a trace of Buddhist magic. Although these five peaks are majestic, they cover a large area. If you want to find traces of the Lion King, you may have to think of another way."

After hearing this, Ruoxue said: "If that doesn't work, grab one or two monks first and ask where Manjusri usually recites sutras."

Mu Zhizhi shook his head: "No, although we now know that Manjusri and the twelve golden immortals have returned to heaven, there must be guardians or mountain gods guarding the main dojo. If there is a little bit of trouble, Manjusri will definitely I know. The four great Bodhisattvas are no better than ordinary little gods..."

"There are people at the foot of the mountain, they seem to be people fleeing for safety." Hai Yesheng said.

Lan Feng smiled: "That's easy to handle."

Several people suddenly transformed into beggars. Ruoxue was worried that her cloak would get dirty, so she asked Lanfeng to keep it in the dream bead. When he landed, Lan Feng grabbed another handful of mud and put it on his face before walking over with a few others.

They saw these people crowded into the surrounding houses, some setting firewood to keep warm, and some huddled in the corners shivering. Lanfeng and the others moved forward slowly, fearing that they would step on someone lying on the ground.

They came to a house and saw an old woman sitting on the threshold in a daze, holding half a bowl of hot soup in one hand and a moldy steamed bun in the other.

Ruoxue stepped forward and squatted next to the old woman and asked: "Old woman, a few of us were wandering traders who accidentally broke into the war and lost our bags. We just saw the crowd and squeezed over. What kind of territory is this?"

Seeing that Ruoxue was quite handsome, the old woman looked at Lanfeng and the others and said, "Little girls, you are not locals. This is Mount Wutai, the dojo of Manjushri Bodhisattva."

Lanfeng and others also sat around. He took out some rations from his backpack and handed them to the old woman's hands and said, "Old man, this is Mount Wutai? But why are you all here?"

The old woman sighed and said: "The war was in turmoil. The soldiers who were protecting the country were afraid that the flames of war would burn our people, so they asked us to withdraw from the city. It happened to be close to Mount Wutai, and the monks in Wenshu Taoist Temple placed us there. Here. These monks originally worshiped Manjushri Bodhisattva on the mountain, but now that we are here, they will bring some food to support us every day. No, they moved from the mountain to the mountainside."

It turns out that this is the case. Only when everyone heard this did they know why the lights on the peak were all turned off. Unexpectedly, the monks at Manjusri Monastery could do their best to save the suffering people, but they were more merciful than those gods who did not care about life and death.

Mo Yun asked again: "Old man, Wutai Mountain is very large. Where is the main hall of Manjushri Bodhisattva? When tomorrow dawns, we also want to pay homage to him and thank him for providing us with this shelter."

The old woman also smiled when she heard Mo Yun's words showing her devotion to the Buddha. She said: "The main hall of Manjushri Bodhisattva is not actually on these five peaks, but on a side peak of Cuiyan Peak, called ' Spiritual Eagle Peak'. If you want to go, just ask the monks to take you there tomorrow when they are giving alms."

Everyone understood, Lan Feng gave the old woman some more rations, exchanged a few words and then retreated to a place with few people.

Mo Yun said: "Without further delay, let's set off now."

After many twists and turns, Lan Feng and others took advantage of the night to rise again, and finally found the Lingjiu Peak mentioned by the old woman under the moonlight. This Lingjiu Peak is attached to the south side of Cuiyan Peak and is much shorter than Cuiyan Peak. But in this place of Wutai Dragon Veins, the Zangfeng acupuncture point is occupied.

When everyone landed on the top of the peak, they saw a large hall standing next to the mountain, with the four characters "Great Manjusri Hall" written on the plaque.

Mo Yun looked back at the distant mountains and sighed: "You see, the Jinxiu Peak in the south is slightly lower, letting in the moonlight and the long wind. The east and west peaks are embracing each other and gathering energy, and the northern Yeding Peak is the highest among the five peaks. It blocked the wind and pushed back to form a whirlpool, which happened to gather on the slightly shorter Lingjiu Peak. Places like this that hide the wind are rare in the world."

Mu Zhizhi held his jade flute and smiled and said: "I have long heard that the four great Bodhisattvas of Buddhism are sitting on the four dharma land, where there are water, fire and wind. The earth, Jiuhua Mountain, is the dojo of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva; the fire, Mount Emei, is Samantabhadra Bodhisattva's dojo; Putuo Mountain in the South China Sea as the water is the dojo of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva; Wutai Mountain as the wind is the dojo of Manjushri Bodhisattva. When I saw it today, it was really extraordinary!"

"You still have time to discuss these? Are you looking for the Lion King yet?" Ruoxue asked.

Lanfeng and the others were agitated, and then they remembered that there was still something serious to do. Several people hurriedly walked into the main hall and saw numerous Buddha statues everywhere, with the desk standing in the middle. There are six futons placed under the stage, and the three-foot-long Manjusri statue on the stage is looking down at everyone with narrowed eyes! There is also a poem to prove it. The poem says:

Starting from the Wutai Mountain in the north, there is Manjusri on Lingjiu Peak.

There is a five-wisdom bun on the top of her head, and golden rings on her earlobes dangle magic beads.

The pure lotus in the left hand is used to save the heart, and the wisdom sword in the right hand makes everything clear.

The Zen clothes are light and wise, and are decorated with moonlight and stars.

Sitting down, the green lion raised its head proudly, and with its roar, all evils in the rivers and mountains were wiped out.

The auspicious clouds are piled up to form a jade lotus platform, and the essence of the three sages of Yanhua is wonderful.

But in this dark hall, everyone felt frightened when they stared at this huge Buddha statue.

"Now that the main hall of Manjusri has been found, let's see if we can find the place where the Lion King is imprisoned." Mu Zhi said.

Several people looked around and saw that the hall was full of stone and golden bodies, and there were no hidden mechanisms before or after the crime. Mo Yun and Mu Zhizhi stood under the statue of Manjusri and frowned.

"The lion king's whereabouts are so important, we can't find it like this." Mo Yun said.

Mu Zhizhi took a deep breath and closed his eyes and began to recall the surrounding situation in his mind. There were five towers on the mountain, the Hidden Wind Vulture, and the Great Manjusri Temple.

He opened his eyes and turned around to look at the three-foot-long statue of Manjusri. The green lion's round eyes were angrily opened but it was not staring in the direction of the entrance of the temple. His gaze... was staring at Manjusri's face...

Why are you staring at Manjusri’s face? The green lion's roar was intended to scare away evil spirits, but now it looked not at the world but at its master.

Mu Zhizhi looked up and saw a kind expression on Manjusri's face. At this moment, Mu Zhizhi suddenly remembered what the Great Sage Jiu Qian said to them...

"Don't worry about what you see, see the world behind your eyes."

Behind the eyes... He looked into the eyes of the Manjusri statue with his green eyes, and he vaguely noticed that there was a slight gap between the eyes of the Manjusri statue and the carved eyelids...

"Mo Yun, follow me." Mu Zhizhi said, and flew to the eyes of the Manjusri statue. Mo Yun saw this and rushed over.

"Did you find anything?" Mo Yun asked.

Mu Zhizhi looked at the eyes of the Manjusri statue and said, "Do you still remember what Jiuqian said about the world behind the eyes..."

Mo Yun asked suspiciously: "Are you sure he is hinting at the Manjusri statue again? It's too far-fetched."

Mu Zhizhi stretched out his hand to touch the stone eyes: "The seven saints have the same mind. If the Lion King hadn't conveyed this message to the surviving Demon King when he was surrendered, why would Jiuqian bother to remind us of this sentence? You have to know that the Lion King was surrendered. When it comes, the only survivors will be the Great Sage Overcoming the Sea and the Great Sage Expelling the Gods."

"Crack!"

Just as he was talking, Mu Zhi's hand trembled and he pressed down the eyeball. For a moment, a burst of white light began to flow in the pressed eye. This white light surged in the eye but did not leak out.

"Mo Yun, press the other eye quickly!" Mu Zhi said.

Upon seeing this, Mo Yun immediately raised his hand and pressed down his other eye. In an instant, the white light in these eyes suddenly shot out of the hall and extended to the cliff of Jinxiu Peak in the south!

Lanfeng and the others were startled by the sudden light. When they looked, they saw smiles starting to appear on the faces of Yishan and the others.

"Manjushri Bodhisattva has always been a symbol of wisdom. I think the eyes of these wise eyes must be looking at the important points!" Mu Zhizhi said.

Mo Yun smiled and said: "This Manjusri has a lot of tricks, thanks to Zhizhi's cleverness. Otherwise, I won't be able to come up with any clues even if I wait here and think about it."

Just as everyone was rejoicing, they heard the roar of people down the mountain. Lan Feng said: "Everyone, let's leave quickly. I'm afraid this place will be overcrowded in a while."

Hai Yesheng smiled bitterly: "This one-handed operation of Zhizhi will probably add a lot of incense to Manjushri Bodhisattva."

Ruoxue was confused: "What does this have to do with incense?"

Lanfeng stood next to Ruoxue and said: "Mortal people only care about what they see with their own eyes. When this beam of light is emitted from the main hall of Manjusri at night, they will only think that Manjusri Bodhisattva appears and summons the Buddha's light to protect the people. This is in the midst of the war. It has undoubtedly become a reassurance over the years.”
