Senzo

Chapter 1004
A group of ten people left Fangcun Mountain of Lingtai and flew towards the west.

Qin Di's closest follower is not the senior brother Miao Sheng, but the No. 20 senior brother "Master Hongyi".

He wanted to say in his heart: "Brother Hongyi, can you sign for me?"

But then I thought about it, so what if I signed it?

I can't go back to the earth before I crossed over, and I don't even have someone to show off to.

Could it be that he took the signature and showed it to a few confidantes, or a few disciples?Whether it is Miao Yunjuan or Fan Yao, they all came from the wild world, where there are not even famous monks, who knows who Master Hongyi is?
Not to mention them, even young people in the 21st century may not know Master Hongyi.

Therefore, Qin Di let go of his admiration and said, "Brother, when you are free, can you teach me the Zen music and Fanbai? I am very interested in Buddhist music theory."

Master Hongyi smiled and nodded in agreement: "It's easy to say, Buddhist music requires cooperation. The more people who participate in the performance, the better the effect."

Qin Di was relieved: "Thank you, brother, for your help. I will ask for advice later."

The great world where Shakyamuni Buddha resides overlaps with the central Xuanhuang Great Starfield. It is located in Hezhou, Xiniu. It takes three months to fly westward from Fangcun Mountain, Lingtai, where the ancestor of Bodhi is located.

In the boundless void, there is a mysterious Buddha kingdom.

This Buddhist kingdom was created by Shakyamuni Buddha with his supreme magic power. There is a Mount Sumeru in the center, which is built on the vast and boundless sea. From a distance, the entire Mount Sumeru looks like a huge lotus flower. Stretching straight into the air above the blue waves, layer by layer, petal by petal, I don't know how tall and deep it is.

Mount Kinabalu is [-] yojanas above the water.Outside of it are the Qixiang Sea and Qijin Mountain, and then there are the Aral Sea and Tiewei Mountain.Tiewei Mountain surrounds it like an outer city, forming a closed world.There are eight gates in Tiewei Mountain, each of which is guarded by one of the eight divisions of Tianlong, namely Tianzhong, Longzhong, Yasha, Gandharva, Asura, Garuda, Kinnara and Mahuluojia.

Qin Di followed the nine senior brothers, flew for three months, and saw Tiewei Mountain.

Everyone saluted the heavenly guards guarding Tiewei Mountain, and then walked in. The first thing they saw was Qixianghai.

There are seven kinds of Buddha water in the seven fragrant seas, which can make people forget their troubles, get rid of sorrows, and isolate seven kinds of "suffering", namely birth, old age, sickness, death, bitterness of meeting hatred, bitterness of separation from love, and bitterness of not getting what one wants.

The Seven Fragrance Sea is opposite to the Nine Bitterness Sea on the Buddha Burial Plateau in the underworld.

Only by experiencing the bitterness of the sea water in the underworld, can you know the sweetness of the Seven Fragrance Sea in the Buddhist world.

Qin Di came here and quietly asked senior brother Miaosheng: "Senior brother, can I get some sea water here?"

Miaosheng replied: "Yes, but the quantity is limited, no more than ten hu."

Qin Di did some calculations and thought, "Ten liters equals one bucket, ten buckets equals one hu, one hu equals one hundred liters, ten hu equals one thousand liters, which is exactly one cubic meter, which is equivalent to a ton of water. The quantity is too large. It’s missing! Such a little Buddha water, I wonder if it’s enough for me to practice clairvoyance? Not to mention that I still have more than a dozen Dinghai pearls, and I can’t use Buddha water to practice.”

However, since it was hard to hear what the elder brother said, he had no choice but to follow the rules and take ten dendrobiums of each of the seven kinds of Buddha water.

Afterwards, he couldn't help asking: "Brother, why don't people take more sea water here?"

Miao Sheng replied: "Because the water in the Seven Fragrance Seas is all cultivated by the Buddhas, and it is exclusively for low-level monks to improve their skills. Only disciples who have made contributions to Buddhism can get more Buddha water."

Qin Di laughed and said, "So that's the case, I thought it came down from the sky!"

Miao Sheng frowned slightly, and said: "Brother, everything is about cause and effect. Everything arises from cause and condition, and ends from cause and condition. My teacher, a great monk, often says so."

Qin Di could only put his palms together and said, "Thank you for your teaching, brother."

After passing the Qixiang Sea, it is Qijin Mountain.

There are seven kinds of rare metals on the Qijin Mountain. It is said that each of them is very precious, equivalent to "God-level Immortal Gold". If you can make up five hundred catties, you can refine a Buddha treasure!
Qin Di looked at it, feeling greedy, and asked: "Brother, can I dig some Buddhist gold back?"

Miao Sheng glanced at him and said calmly: "Yes, but according to the rules, each person can only take one hundred catties!"

Qin Di laughed and said, "One hundred catties is fine!"

The rest of the senior brothers shook their heads one after another. Eighth senior brother Huaihai smiled bitterly and said, "Wuchen! One hundred catties of Buddhist gold cannot be refined into Buddhist treasures. What do you want it for? Don't lose face, master."

Qin Di smiled and said: "Brother, don't blame me. If you want to come, the master will not mind."

Huaihai didn't say anything, just sighed softly, turned his head and left.

Huai Hai was a Zen master in the Tang Dynasty, and "Wild Fox Zen" is the story that happened to him.

It is said that when this Zen master gave lectures, there would always be an old man whom he did not know, who would come in with the monks to listen to the lectures.

One day, everyone left, only the old man stayed behind.

The Zen master asked, "Who are you?"

The old man was very distressed and replied: "I am not a human being. A long time ago, when Venerable Kassapa was still alive, I was the abbot on the mountain. A student asked me whether people with high morals would still fall into the The law of cause and effect. I replied: 'I will not fall into the law of cause and effect.' Because of this sentence, I was punished to become a fox for five hundred lives. Now I ask the Zen master for advice to get rid of the fox body."

The Zen master replied: "Don't be ignorant of cause and effect." That is to say, everything has cause and effect, but don't be blinded by cause and effect.

Enlightened, the old man bowed to the Zen master and said: "I have freed myself from the body of a wild fox. I live on the other side of the mountain. Please bury me according to the death etiquette of a monk."

The Zen master announced to everyone that the funeral will be held after the meal.

Everyone was very surprised because no one died in the temple.

After the meal, the Zen master took them to the cave in the back mountain, found the body of the wild fox, and held a cremation.

This is just a story. In fact, Zen Master Huaihai was a well-educated eminent monk. He formulated the "Baizhang Qingrui" and advocated "no food for a day, no food for a day", which is still spread today.

For Qin Di, he is not the most pious Buddhist disciple. Among all the people who came to the Lingshan Dharma Conference, he is considered an outlier, and sometimes his consciousness is very low.

He walked at the end and quietly took seven kinds of Buddha gold, each one hundred catties.

Because the quantity is not large, it is useless for others to take these Buddhist golds and cannot refine Buddhist treasures, but Qin Di is a ninth-level weapon refining fairy master, who can put Buddhist gold into fairy weapons, even if he can't refine divine weapons, he can still Increase the power of fairy artifacts!

After passing the Qixiang Sea and Qijin Mountain, you will arrive at Mount Sumeru.

There are many peaks in Mount Sumeru. One of the peaks is called "Vulture Peak", which looks like a vulture. It is said that a great demon king is sealed inside.

It is said that a long time ago, Venerable Ananda once practiced here. The demon king turned into a vulture bird, occupied the boulder on a black moon night, and frightened the Venerable with his wings and screams.

"I want to eat you, quack, I want to eat you..."

Venerable Ananda was very frightened, so it was difficult for him to enter samadhi.

Seeing this situation, the Tathagata came to comfort him, first touched the stone wall, then touched the top of Ananda's head, and said with great kindness: "The devil changes, so there is no need to be afraid."

In other words, this is the change of the demon king, and it has been sealed by me, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

Ananda was comforted, so he was at peace physically and mentally.

This Vulture Mountain, also known as "Spirit Mountain", is also the place where the Lingshan Dharma Assembly is held.

When Qin Di came close, he saw bird tracks on the rocks and holes in the cliffs. Although it has been a long time, it is safe now.

When did the Lingshan Dharma Assembly ever end?
After a while, Lingshan looked like it again.
