Xuanqing Tiandao

Chapter 117 Respecting the Buddha in the Southern Dynasties, Crossing the River with a Reed

Heavenly Court, inside Lingxiao Hall.The Jade Emperor stared expressionlessly at Marshal Tianpeng who was kneeling below, and said coldly: "Marshal Tianpeng, you are so courageous! You actually disregarded my imperial decree and went to the Taiyin Star privately. What's even worse, As a god, you are an important official in the heavenly court, and you want to do obscene things! Where do you put the rules of heaven?"

Marshal Tianpeng's mouth trembled, as if he wanted to say something, but he held back!There are gods on both sides who are about to come out to intercede for him, but they are suddenly stared back by two sharp eyes. After a glance, it is the Kangong who is in charge of the golden palace, sits in the Doufu, and ranks first in the Zhou Dynasty. Dou Muzhengshen Jinling Holy Mother also!

The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit is not only the head of the five righteous gods in Zhoutian 360, but also because she was saved by Wen Zhong when she conferred the gods. Especially diligent!Thinking back to when she fought alone against the three great gods of Cihang without defeat, it can be seen that her cultivation is so high!Therefore, among the gods, no one dares not to obey!

Seeing that the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit did not stop the Jade Emperor now, the gods stopped pleading and just looked at Marshal Tianpeng with regret.

Marshal Tianpeng's fairy heart was so cold that he sat on the white jade floor with his head downcast, letting the Jade Emperor have his way!
The Holy Mother of Jinling seemed to see his reluctance, first she came out of the class and bowed to the Jade Emperor, and then said: "Your Majesty, I have something to share with Marshal Tianpeng, please give me your permission!"

The Jade Emperor nodded and said: "Doumu Yuanjun, but it's okay to say!"

The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit saluted again, then turned around and stared at Marshal Tianpeng, and said, "Little brother, are you not convinced?"

Marshal Tianpeng rubbed his lips, but did not say a word in the end.

The Holy Mother of Golden Spirit shouted sharply: "Little brother, are you worthy of the teacher for your behavior like this? The teacher taught you the way, but you don't want to cultivate the way, but you are greedy for such things. You have lost the teacher's face! How can you face the teacher now?" ? I don’t know how to repent at this time, when will I wait?”

Marshal Tianpeng was shocked, his eyes were complex and varied, and he thought of the scene of Chang'e running towards Houyi, and all thoughts were lost for a moment.He knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and cried: "I only blame Tianpeng for failing to live up to the teacher's teachings and the grace of the saints. Tianpeng is willing to be punished!"

The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit sighed and retreated to her position silently.The gods in the temple also looked at Marshal Tianpeng with emotion, not knowing what to say.

The Jade Emperor secretly sighed, now the Chanjiao Golden Immortal and Western Buddhists are looking at him, if he doesn't punish Marshal Tianpeng, he will lose his prestige by then, who else in the Three Realms can obey him?Although Marshal Tianpeng is a disciple of Master Tongtian, he remembered the jade certificate given by Hongxuan, and he was certain in his heart that since this was the intention of the two saints, I don't need to worry about causing karma!

So the Jade Emperor coughed lightly, attracted the eyes of all the immortals to him, and said majesticly: "Marshal Tianpeng violated the rules of heaven and entered the Taiyin Star without authorization. Today, he will be demoted to the mortal world and practice again!"

Marshal Tianpeng listened to the Jade Emperor's execution, and fell to the ground powerlessly, allowing the heavenly generals to escort him down to the earth to be reincarnated!
Just now I saw the Jade Emperor deal with Marshal Tianpeng, Kong Xuan and others are not from the Heavenly Court, so it is not easy to intervene, now that the Jade Emperor has punished Marshal Tianpeng, the Tathagata Buddha clasped his hands together and said: "The poor monk and others have disturbed you for a long time, so it is time to leave I would also like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"

The Jade Emperor nodded and said, "How could such an event in the Three Realms turn out like this, the Buddha would laugh at me!"

The Tathagata Buddha shook his head and said: "The Jade Emperor dealt with it impartially, and the three realms are all obeyed. Who dares to laugh?!" Then he bowed to all the immortals in the hall, and left with a group of Buddhist monks.

Seeing that the Antian Conference was over, Kong Xuan and Zhen Yuanzi also bid farewell to the Jade Emperor. The two left the Lingxiao Palace. Interacting with a fellow Taoist, the teacher said that he has not visited a fellow Taoist for a long time. The teacher asked the poor Taoist to tell the friend that he misses the ginseng fruit of the fellow Taoist very much. Next time, the ginseng fruit tree of the fellow Taoist should tell the teacher. The teacher You can also discuss the Dao with fellow Taoists!"

Hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi's thoughts changed sharply, without changing his face, he smiled freely and said: "The sage is worried about you, and I am ashamed of you! When the ginseng fruit matures, I will definitely go to Qingxutian to meet the sage of Xuanqing in person!"

Kong Xuan smiled and said: "Fellow Taoists are good at getting it, but Pindao has never tasted ginseng fruit. If fellow Taoists have any extra, feel free to give them to Pindao!"

Zhen Yuanzi was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he laughed loudly and said: "Unexpectedly, fellow daoist is also a wonderful person! Don't worry, fellow daoist, when the time comes, there will be no shortage of ginseng fruit!"

Kong Xuanji bowed first, and said, "It's impolite to be rude!"

Zhen Yuanzi waved his hand and said, "Where is the impoliteness, fellow Taoist? Fellow Taoist has a true temperament, and it is the way of keeping the truth in my life. If fellow Taoist is free, you can go to the Five Villages of the Poor Taoist Temple to discuss the Dao together!"

Kong Xuan said with a smile: "Then the poor will disturb you!"

Zhen Yuanzi laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay!"

However, when the Tathagata Buddha and others returned to Lingshan, suddenly the entire western sky burst into light, Sanskrit sounds burst out, and the light of merit and virtue shone for thousands of miles, and a Buddha's voice spread throughout the three realms: "Buddha of Infinite Life! Today, my 24-day cultivation of Buddhism has been accomplished!"

The immortals of the three realms counted their fingers one after another, and then sighed, knowing that the ancient Buddha of the Buddhist sect burned the lamp to manifest 24 heavens with 24 Dinghai God beads.All the Taoist immortals lamented: Ran Deng is now probably the quasi-sage who beheaded two corpses!
All the people in the Buddhist sect were overjoyed, and the ancient Buddha was killed by burning the lamp, and the strength of the Buddhist sect was even stronger than before!Tathagata put his hands together and said: "Buddha of Infinite Life! It's the day when my Buddha will prosper!"

Only the Jiejiao Immortal looked at the Buddha's light with a livid face, and Bixiao said angrily: "Ran Deng, that old villain! One day he must repay the elder brother's Dinghai Shenzhu!"

The earth fairy world, looking south to Buzhou.Since the land of Kyushu was transformed into an earth star by Tian Dao Hongjun, after 3000 years, many human races have multiplied. At this time, there are two countries in the south of Zhan Buzhou. The north is the state of Wei, and the south is the state of Qi. Country also.Such an opposition between the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but the North is strong and the South is weak!
On this day, in a mansion in Yongzhou, golden lotus flowers suddenly fell from the sky, and the strange fragrance wafted over them. Sanskrit sounds sang, Buddha's light shone everywhere, and a loud and clear cry spread throughout the city of Yongzhou.

Not long after, the people in the entire Yongzhou City learned that the wife of the governor had just given birth to a young son, and when they saw the birth of the young son, there was a vision in the sky, and there was a lot of discussion, saying that it was a man from heaven!

Yu Yutian, Biyou Palace.Master Tongtian opened his eyes, glanced down, and whispered to himself: "Eldest senior brother, second senior brother, the second sage of the West has already settled, but I don't know how you should deal with it?"

Da Chitian, in the Palace of Eight Views.Taishang Laojun and Yuanshi Tianzun sat silently facing each other for a long time, Yuanshi Tianzun said: "Brother, now those two in the west have made their move, what do I want to wait for?"

After being silent for a while, Taishang Laojun said: "Second Junior Brother, the great prosperity of Buddhism is a matter of days. Although it is unstoppable, we can change the situation a little bit. Don't worry, the day of Buddhism and Taoism will be known!"

Yuan Shi Tianzun had no choice but to nod helplessly when he heard the words, then glanced at Yu Yutian's direction again, sighed slightly, and remained silent.

Seeing Yuanshi Tianzun like this, Taishang Laojun also sighed secretly: Pangu Siqing, since the day he was born, he has been at odds with his face and heart, even though he has the heart, he is powerless!

In the Western Paradise, Amitabha Buddha and Taoist Zhunti smiled at each other. Taoist Zhunti looked at the east and said, "This is just a prelude to the great prosperity of my Buddhism!"

Amitabha nodded and sighed in his heart: The day of the great prosperity of the West has finally come!

Qingxutian, Xuanqingjing.Hong Xuan looked at the lower realm and smiled lightly!
But he said that the little son was a Buddhist Arhat who was reincarnated in Yongzhou, Qi State under the decree of Tathagata Buddha. He had a vision of Buddhism in his body as soon as he was born, and he was born able to speak, and his name was Xiao Yan. Thirty years later, Xiao Yan took over his father's position and became the governor of Yongzhou. He launched a mutiny and attacked Kyoto all the way.

In this way, the state of Qi was destroyed, and the state of Liang rose.Since Liang Guo, Xiao Yan respected Buddhism, built Buddhist temples, and invited eminent Buddhist monks to hold a Dharma meeting. The whole country respected the Buddha, and everyone knew that there was still a Buddha. The heart is heavy, the incense is endless, and the luck of Buddhism is rising!The scenic spot of Xitianling Mountain is full of Sanskrit sounds every day, and the light of merit shines on the whole Xiniu Hezhou. In contrast, Dongsheng Shenzhou Daomen is much deserted!

Longevity Hill, Wuzhuang Temple.Immortal Zhenyuanzi looked at the bright Buddha light in the sky, sighed slightly, and said softly: "The ginseng fruit will mature in more than a hundred years!"

On Lingshan, the Tathagata Buddha is explaining the way of extinction to Bodhisattvas, Arhats, Bhikkhunis, and Buddhist disciples.Suddenly, he stopped and said to the monks: "After my Buddha prospered in Nanzhanbuzhou in the Southern Dynasty, my Buddhist school has a lot of luck and incense, but there are few people who teach the Dharma. It is difficult to solve the misery of all living beings! Now the people of the Northern Dynasties don’t know the great method of Buddhism, so I should send someone to the Northern Dynasty to spread my Dharma and invite the Buddhist sects!”

As soon as the Tathagata Buddha finished speaking, he saw his disciple Kasyapa put his palms together and said, "World Honored One! My disciples are willing to go along and spread my Buddha's great law!"

Tathagata Buddha smiled and said: "You don't need to go, Kasyapa, your 28th generation disciple Bodhidharma has a deep understanding of Buddhism, so you can go to the Northern Dynasties!"

When Kasyapa heard this, he lowered his eyebrows and said, "Respect the teachings of my Buddha and Tathagata!" Then he turned to face him and said, "Where is Bodhidharma?"

A person walked out unsteadily from below, and he folded his hands, his hair was loose, came to the Tathagata Buddha, knelt down and said, "Disciple Bodhidharma, wait for my Dharma decree!"

The Tathagata Buddha nodded lightly, and said: "Dharma, go to Nanzhanbuzhou and the Northern Dynasties to spread my Dharma and establish my Buddhist gate. On the day you return, you will be a Buddhist Arhat!"

Bodhidharma was neither sad nor happy, and said with palms together: "Disciple respects my Buddha's decree!" Then he saluted again, left the Lingshan Mountain, with clouds under his feet, and came all the way to the land of Nanzhan Buzhou. From south to north, he walked all the way. Walking by, I saw Buddhist temples everywhere, the sound of Buddha filled the sky, and my heart was full of joy. Unknowingly, he had come to the edge of the Yangtze River. He was about to fly over the Yangtze River, but unexpectedly, there seemed to be a powerful force over the Yangtze River, which prevented him from flying. !
Bodhidharma was startled and quickly looked up, only to see a Tai Chi pattern slowly rotating in the sky above the Yangtze River, releasing bursts of Taoist aura. Block!

At this moment, a small boat sailed slowly along the Yangtze River, and an old man with white hair stood on the boat. The old man said to Bodhidharma from a distance: "Your monk, if you want to cross the Yangtze River, you must take me for a ride." !"

Bodhidharma folded ten times and said: "The poor monk thanked the old man! My Buddha is merciful!" He took off a reed by the river, threw it on the river, and jumped up, chanting the "Langa Sutra" in his mouth, and the mantra of Buddhism came from his mouth. Spit out, forming swastikas and appearing in the sky, the golden light blocked the invasion of the bursts of Taoist breath, and turned into a stream of light and quickly crossed the Yangtze River!

After Bodhidharma left, the old man's figure changed, but he was the Great Master Xuandu!He sighed softly, looked at the direction in which Bodhidharma was going, and remained silent for a long time!

It is exactly: 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, how many buildings are in the mist and rain!
