Fahai travels through Tang Sanzang

Chapter 342 Advising senior brother to let go?Bodhisattva's practice went awry

No matter how tacit transactions and calculations there were among the saints during the Conferred God War, it was naturally impossible for the disciples to take care of everything, and there would inevitably be some victims.

It's like Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao who dominated Fengshen from the light and shade, neither of them had a good end.

In the Tribulation of Conferring the Gods, Jiang Ziya, who was in charge of the God Whip and the Conferment of the Gods, did not even have the chance to become an immortal in the end. I am in reincarnation, and I don't know the day when I will escape from the robbery.

Shen Gongbao is not much better than Jiang Ziya. Although he died on the list of gods, he is not the same as other gods. He, the general who divides water, was taken to fill the eyes of Beihai. It's no different, it's a result that can never be turned over forever.

As witnesses of the Conferred God War back then, although Sai Taisui and Bai Xiang only participated in the battle of the Ten Thousand Immortal Formation, they also witnessed the most tragic battle.
If the disciples of the Three Religions were killed, there might still be a chance to be on the list of gods.

But the human soldiers who died in the meat grinder were literally dying, and even some souls who did not have time to enter the underworld would be directly shattered by the aftermath of the immortal battle.

Immortals fight, mortals suffer.

Where is there any mercy?

It was also after this battle that Cihang Taoists could not retreat, and when they came out of the mountain, they rebelled and went to the Western Lingshan. Showing the shape of a Bodhisattva.

This mountain is called Babaili Shituo Ridge, and there is a Shituo Cave in the middle, and there are three demon heads in the cave. This is all the news I heard from the passing demon mountain.

Encountering such a big mountain, even Xiao Bailong didn't dare to go deep into it, but just explored around the outside, and then temporarily came to an end——

Of course, Master Erlang has explained this matter. Among the files he has read, [-]% of the cases are from Xizhou.

Like Huang Fengling and others, a piece of yellow is a barren land; like a flame mountain, a sea of ​​fire is even more restricted to life; the [-]-mile Qijue Ridge is [-] miles away, even goblins are unwilling to stop; the last [-] miles Ridge of Thorns is not a good place either.

"Master, it's okay if there are three devils, it's just that there are little demons gathered in this mountain."

Hence the assumption that "Buddha is not Buddha".

He was originally a conferred bodhisattva, and compared with several Buddhist masters who had attained the status of great bodhisattva, he was naturally inferior by more than a notch.

"Without indifference, there is no ambition; without tranquility, there is no distance; without magnanimity, there is no coverage; without kindness, there is no way to embrace people; without justice, there is no way to restrain." Fahai sat on a prescription stone and was talking with several people. Disciples gossip, "Tranquility is used to cultivate one's morality, and frugality is used to cultivate morality. Without learning, there is no way to broaden talents, and without ambition, there is no way to achieve learning. If you are lazy, you can't inspire energy, and if you are aggressive, you can't cultivate your character."

That's the way it is said, but it can't be just because the mountains are high and the roads are dangerous. The so-called high mountains have their own passenger roads, and the depth of the water has its own ferrymen.

Shituo Ridge is different from Jilei Mountain.

Not long ago, he went to the Little Sumeru Mountain. The scene at the time when he caught a golden mouse from Lingji Bodhisattva and brought it to justice was quite harmonious, and did not cause any major conflicts.

A land said: "We are like ants in their eyes. Since they came to the mountains, we hid everywhere, or saw that we were safe, so they never made things difficult for us."

More than a dozen land and mountain gods didn't know why, but when they saw the great sage going crazy and crying in their hearts, they could only kneel on the ground and beg for forgiveness: "The great sage is wronged, the great sage is wronged!"

Although there are some great principles, these principles are often taught by Fa Hai by example, and the disciples naturally listened with great interest.

Fa Hai nodded, thinking that what they said made sense.

When Master Yuding came out of Mount Sumeru, he sighed softly, and said in his heart: "Bodhisattva Lingji's Buddhist recitation went wrong a few years ago."

"Oh?" Maybe the Great Sage couldn't tell the truth from what they said, but he couldn't fool Fa Hai who was beside him. Fa Hai knew that the mountain god was not lying, so he asked, "Did the monsters in this mountain ever drive you? "

It is supposed to be a good thing that several apprentices respect the master almost without thinking.

"You just said that these three old monsters have a lot of background, but you don't know where they come from?" Fahai looked at the mountain god who spoke first.

"Holy monk, great sage!" More than a dozen land and mountain gods hurriedly greeted him.

Of course, he never denied that he was also worthless, otherwise he wouldn't dare to return to his teacher's school after he got out of trouble.

"Never." A group of land and mountain gods shook their heads again and again.

"Amitabha." Thinking about it, Sai Taisui couldn't help but chant the Buddha's name.

But Fa Hai felt that something was wrong, it was a very dangerous thing. If he said some unreasonable things one day, would they listen?

"The great king is a green lion, and the second great king is a white elephant. I don't know much about it."

"How many goblins are there?"

It turned out that the great sage had seen the land and mountain gods of the six-hundred-mile mountain. They were oppressed by the red boy. They were clearly regarded as gods in the heavenly court, but they were not as good as demons. It was really embarrassing.

"Because I have written to the Heavenly Court many times, sending messages to the Buddhist sect saying that there is a big demon occupying the mountain in Shituoling and gathering demons. Please send troops to surrender. But the messages from both parties are like stones falling into the sea, and there is no response." The mountain god smiled bitterly: "If it weren't for their background , what else could it be?"

"What kind of goblins are the Great King and the Second Great King? Are they as old as Sai Taisui?" The Great Sage had only fought against Sai Taisui once, and knew that Sai Taisui was not a harmful monster.

Another mountain god joined in: "Besides, there is nothing cheap for me to wait for these little gods. We dare not provoke them, and they are out of sight and out of mind."

"Hum!" The Great Sage snorted coldly, and said, "Wrong? This lion camel ridge is occupied by demons, but you are raising a white and fat man. At the moment, he is still neatly dressed and has no abuse. Isn't it just like demons?" Colluded?"

After leaving Pansi Ridge, the steps of the master and apprentice also slowed down a bit.

Along the way, he subdued several little demon kings, and learned that the front was eight hundred li Shituoling, and there were three great kings in the mountain, and their supernatural powers were by no means inferior to the Bull Demon King.

Although I have learned some Buddhism from the Bodhisattva, how should I persuade myself at this time?
Advise brother to let go?
How can I have any position to persuade?

As expected, there were three big demon kings out of one mountain.

"When the Bodhisattva preached the scriptures, I listened to them. Even if I didn't pay attention, I finally got some insights." Sai Taisui pointed to his heart and said, "I don't even know whether I am a Taoist or a Buddha now. .Simply show people the true appearance of a demon."

However, Yang Jian and Lingji Bodhisattva exchanged their supernatural powers for a while, and both sides reached the end, and the golden mouse was also captured by the six-eared macaque when the two of them were exercising.

Moreover, it is not their duty to conquer demons.

Bai Xiang was stunned for a while, then seeing Sai Taisui's expression changing several times, he suddenly smiled and said: "It seems that my brother has learned a lot of Buddhism from the Bodhisattva."

After hearing these words, the master and apprentice all turned their faces down, staring at the mountain ahead, without saying anything for a while.

It's a pity that there are very few responders from Lingshan.

The master and apprentice walked west for several months, and it was the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, and the body was fresh and cool.

It is said that when the weather is cooler, people's mood will naturally be much better, but now the master and apprentice are all frowning.

"Hey!" The Great Sage immediately scolded when he saw it: "You are so bold, how dare you join hands with demons!"

It's not that Sai Taisui underestimated them. If they took some responsibility in front of them, the elder brother shouldn't be in charge of today's Lingshan; if they had some responsibility, they wouldn't let the Western saints take them to Xizhou.

"You are under the Bodhisattva's school. Do you know that the Bodhisattva is more of a Buddha now, or more of a Dao?"

"Since you don't know, why do you know they have their origins?" Bajie grasped the opponent's loophole and asked.

The so-called buddha and demon just thought, but Master Yuding didn't think Lingji Bodhisattva would become demon because of his timidity and indecisive temperament, even if he became demon, it would not be a big deal.

And the Shituo Ridge, which is [-] miles away, is really extraordinary.

As for their identities as gods, they sit back and watch the demons gather in the mountains and do nothing. Fa Hai thinks that this is normal.

In the past, the Heavenly Court turned a blind eye to the monsters in Xizhou, but Yang Jian would not. In his opinion, even if the evil monsters are protected by Buddhism, he will come to the door to punish them.

"Buddhism and Taoism exist in one mind." Sai Taisui said with a sigh of relief, "Bodhisattva's realm is lofty, and now it is even more unfathomable. And when I am beside Bodhisattva, besides feeling the compassion and compassion of Bodhisattva all the time. And outside, it can also make me calm, clear and indifferent."

It was also at the gathering in the Yang Mansion that day that Yang Jian mentioned this matter, saying that when he forcibly made the Golden Rat from Mount Sumeru and brought it to justice, he found that there seemed to be something wrong with Lingji Bodhisattva, so he invited Master Yuding Master to come and see it. look.
Right now outside the mountain, Master Yuding calculated with his fingers for a while, and suddenly understood. It turned out that the root cause of the disease was left in Huangfengling. Earlier, Tang Sanzang rescued the Huangfeng monster in front of Huangfengling. Er came to the door to pick up the Golden Mouse, causing cracks to appear in his unsatisfactory state of mind.

The Great Sage recited a mantra, calling out the land and the mountain gods in the mountains.

But the crowd naturally wouldn't tell them that.

The mountain is so big, and it is this kind of monster mountain that gathers [-] little monsters. It is inevitable that there will be some differences between up and down. Even in the hills like Langlang Mountain, there are ignorant little ones who have been bullied and coerced Monster, you must be able to find similarities in this lion camel ridge.

But Xizhou is relatively independent and self-governing in the Buddhaland, and the Heavenly Court has never interfered with the affairs here, but asked Dongzhou and Nanzhou, is there any monster who dares to show its banner and occupy the mountain as king?
Well.
500 years ago, there was a man in Huaguo Mountain in Dongsheng Shenzhou. The banner called Monkey King Monkey King is still upright today, but who still thinks he is a demon king now?
It's just that the past was the past and the present is the present.

This Shituo Ridge covers an area of ​​[-] li, not to mention [-], even if [-] little monsters are scattered in the forest, it is actually scattered here and there.

Jilei Mountain is only as big as a mountain, and it is a ferocious monster deliberately recruited by the Bull Demon King. Naturally, they are all people with sinful karma.

"I don't know the details, but a demon king Sai Taisui came to Qilin Mountain a few days ago, but we recognized him as the mount of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and said he was an old friend of the Great King and the Second Great King in the cave."

The mountain peaks in front of him pierced the blue sky, it was really a star blocking the sun, although I had seen some mountains of [-] li before, but where is it so powerful?

"Alas!" The land and mountain gods were very pleased when they heard this, and one of them couldn't help but said: "The words of the great sage are different from the three demon kings of Shituoling. They all have their origins and are calling me to wait. How dare you refuse? Saying collusion with monsters...we are not qualified yet."

Not to mention dealing with the three demon kings, even the commanders and generals under the command of the demon king are not something they can deal with.

"There are five thousand on the South Ridge, five thousand on the North Ridge, ten thousand on the East Road, and ten thousand on the West Road; There are [-] people who can fight." Xiaobailong looked serious: "One or two hundred miles away from Shituoling, there are hardly any people, and there are bones everywhere."

Looking at it now, it seems that with the current appearance of the three of their senior brothers, they are indeed not promising, and they deserve to be reduced to this.

The relentless summer heat is absorbed by the torrential rain, and a leaf of the phoenix tree is frightened.

At this moment, Master Yuding, who left the Yang Mansion, was drinking tea with Lingji Bodhisattva and discussing Taoism in the small Sumeru Mountain, saying that he came to "make amends" to Lingji Bodhisattva for his ineffective disciple.

Sai Taisui deeply sympathized with Qiushou's encounter, but he was not easy to persuade him about some things.

Even if he tried to persuade him, don't say that senior brother would not listen to his words at all, even if he really listened to the karma accumulated in the eight hundred miles of Shituoling, so what should he do?
Sai Taisui suddenly remembered the words of the Bodhisattva. The Bodhisattva said that after the Master Sanzang rescued those demon kings, he would take the karma created by them on his back. It really was the work of the eminent monk. The karma of hundreds of thousands of miles. If an ordinary monk were to recite it, even the true Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Lingshan would be afraid to avoid it.

The master and disciples listened and said to themselves: Not only are the monsters with a long history in heaven and Buddhism not caring, even if there is no follower monsters occupying the mountain and become kings, I have never seen them do anything.

Although Reverend Yuding is sincere, and he and Bodhisattva Lingji are old acquaintances. But Bodhisattva Lingji has already made up his mind.

The former "Buddha" is the many Buddhas and true Buddhas in Lingshan, and the latter "Buddha" is the Buddha worshiped by the monks of the Three Realms.This Buddha has no form or form, but it is everywhere, among the flowers, plants and trees, and in the hearts of all living beings in the three realms.

Sai Taisui's heartfelt words, the first one refers to those disciples who were originally taught in the West; the second one refers to the three thousand mortals who were converted to the West.

After discussing with the master and apprentice for a while, they still came up with some plans.

If they do something unreasonable, will they question it?
From this, Fahai thought of himself, because of his admiration for the Buddha, would he think that what the Buddha said and did must be correct?
Therefore, today's Fahai is actually holding a questioning heart, exploring the Three Realms, and using a dialectical perspective to understand the true meaning of Buddhism.

The demons gathered in Shituoling, Yang Jian naturally didn't want to miss this big show, he was with the six-eared macaque at the moment, as long as Master Sanzang needed it, he immediately ordered troops to encircle and suppress Shituoling.

The three big demon kings, Yang Jian can do nothing.

But the [-] demon soldiers in the mountains must not be allowed to wander into the world.

On this point, Fa Hai and Yang Jian have the same point of view. If the little demons are scattered into the world, it is better not to get rid of the demons.
