Reborn Jinshan Temple

Chapter 243 Journey to the West Ends
……

This was the late spring of the 27th year of Zhenguan, after leaving Tianzhu for several months, Xuanzang and his disciples finally arrived at the foot of Lingshan Mountain.

"Wukong, this Daleiyin Temple can't be fake, right?" Xuanzang, who was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, couldn't help holding back the reins, looking suspiciously at the majestic tall buildings and thousands of holy scenes in front of him. .

"I ran into a fake holy place, and I didn't let you worship you, but today I arrived at the real holy place, and you are here again..." the monkey said without looking up, playing with a necklace in his hand.

The style of the necklace resembled a teardrop, which was Zixia's tear in his heart. Looking at it, it was as if he saw that smiling woman again.

There are eight sufferings in Buddhism: birth, old age, sickness, death, separation from love, resentment and resentment, not being able to get what you want, and the five skandhas. as bitter.

Xuanzang smiled wryly. To Li Yi, the big talk of Journey to the West was just a dream, but to them, it was a cycle of life and death for hundreds of years. He knew the monkey's temper very well, so he didn't make any noise at the moment, so he dismounted on his own. Turning to Zhu Bajie behind him, he said, "This place is really nice!"

Zhu Bajie twitched his lips, and a young novice came from a distance, clasped his hands together and said, "Are you a Buddhist scripture learner from the East?"

Sha Wujing said: "He is Zen Master Jin, he came to pick us up."

Xuanzang hastily saluted.

The Zen master avoided it without any trace: "My little monk was deceived by the Bodhisattva. She originally said that she would arrive in two or three years. I waited for you every year, and you didn't come until today."

Xuanzang was a little ashamed and thanked again.

But the Zen master was not in a hurry to take them to Daleiyin Temple. After fasting, he let everyone bathe in fragrant soup and rest here for a night.

The next day, Xuanzang changed into a brocade cassock, wore a Pilu hat, and held a tin staff. Seeing that the Zen master was still not in a hurry, he wanted to pay his respects.

Only then did the Zen master ask to give it away, and the monkey said impatiently: "My grandson knows the way, so there is no need to give it away."

"You know the cloud road, the holy monk should take the land road." As he said, he joined hands with Xuanzang, went to the Dharma gate from the altar of reception and guidance, passed through the back door from the middle hall, and pointed at the road, "Look, holy monk, it took a long time. The auspicious light and auspicious mist in the middle is Mount Sumeru, the sacred place of the Buddha." While speaking, the person disappeared.

Xuanzang and others followed the road and climbed the mountain slowly. After walking for a few miles, they saw a big river with rough waves, about [-] miles wide.

"The water is so wide and there is no ferry, how can we get across?" Xuanzang was a little anxious.

"Isn't there a bridge over there?" The monkey pointed to the distance.

Xuanzang looked intently, "Lingyun Ferry? It's really appropriate. How can people cross this bridge? We still have to find another way."

The monkey went up and took a few steps, swaying left and right, saying that it was a bridge, but it was actually two iron cables with a few wooden boards randomly placed in the middle.

Not to mention Xuanzang, even Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing felt a little apprehensive when they saw each other.

The monkey made up his mind: "Only by crossing this bridge can one become a Buddha."

However, before Xuanzang could speak, Zhu Bajie yelled, "Brother, it doesn't matter if you don't become a Buddha, you can't walk across this bridge."

Grinning monkeyishly.

At this moment, a monk in white came galloping on a ferry boat: "Go up, go up!"

Xuanzang was overjoyed, and when he got closer, he realized that the boat had bottomed out, and he hesitated for a while.

The monkey recognized the person, and pushed Xuanzang onto the boat.

Xuanzang couldn't stand still for a moment and fell into the water.

The boatman grabbed him, pulled him onto the boat, and let him stand on the side of the boat.

Hou Zi and others also boarded the boat one after another and stood on the side of the boat.

The boatman smiled slightly. Although the monkey had seen this person in Sanxing Cave and knew that he was his uncle, he didn't know that this person was actually what the monks called "Amitabha Buddha", who guided the good corpse of a saint.

Over there Xuanzang was still complaining about the monkey's recklessness, when he suddenly saw a dead body rushing down in the current, he couldn't help screaming.

The monkey smiled and said, "Master, don't be afraid, that's you."

Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing also said, "It's you!"

Amitabha clasped his hands together: "Congratulations, you have escaped from the mortal womb and soared upward."

Xuanzang seemed to understand but didn't understand. After climbing Mount Sumeru, he felt light and healthy, as if he had inexhaustible strength.

……

On Mount Sumeru, the news of the arrival of the Buddhist scriptures was reported layer by layer.

In Daleiyin Temple, there are many auspicious clouds and thousands of auspicious qi, and the precept altar is full of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Arhats from the Three Realms.

Xuanzang took his disciples, first worshiped the Tathagata, then worshiped the left and right, and presented the certificate of customs clearance: "Disciple Xuanzang, according to the order of the Emperor of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, went to Baoshan from afar to pray for the scriptures to benefit all living beings. My Buddha is merciful, and I will return to my country soon."

After some encouragement, the Tathagata ordered Ananda and Kaye to lead the four people to go to Zhenlou for a meal, and then select a few volumes of the Tripitaka within 35 volumes and pass them on to the East.

Soon, the two venerables led Xuanzang to read the catalogue, and began to ask for it.

Xuanzang said honestly: "The disciple has never prepared."

The venerable refused to pass on the scriptures, so the monkey clamored for the Tathagata to comment.

Ananda and Kaye had no choice but to hand over the scriptures.

The four of them packed up and tied it up, put it on the horse's back, and let Bajie and Drifting each carry a load, and then they paid their respects to the Tathagata and left the mountain gate.

The ancient Buddha Dieng Deng happened to pass by the Sutra Pavilion with a few disciples, and after hearing the matter clearly, he ordered Venerable Bai Xiong to seize the sutra.

This scene was also seen by Li Yi with the help of Monk Yunju's vision. Not surprisingly, Venerable Bai Xiong caught up with Xuanzang and others in a strong wind. Although the scriptures were not taken back, they were scattered all over the place, revealing The wordless white scriptures inside.

The four masters and apprentices re-entered the mountain gate, and then went up to the treasure hall to sue Ananda and Kaye.

Duobao Rulai smiled indifferently: "The sutra should not be passed on lightly, nor can it be taken empty-handed. If you take it empty-handed, of course I will give you a white copy. The white copy is a scripture without words, which is also good..." Immediately, Ananda, Gaye then led them to Zhenlou to collect scriptures.

This time Xuanzang behaved well, and asked Sha Wujing to take out the purple gold bowl and offer it.

The two venerables did not dare to lie, and handed over the written scriptures to everyone.

Eight days later, Xuanzang and others passed the scriptures back to the Tang Dynasty and came to the Da Leiyin Temple again.

I saw the Tathagata smiled and said: "There are no scriptures in the Mahayana, but the Bodhicitta is the source of the scriptures; when the flowers bloom, you can see the Buddha's nature, and there is a spiritual mountain in your heart."

All saints praise.

The Buddha said again: "All the sages are gathered, and now I will tell you the prosperity of the great Zen, the exaltation of the Buddhist world, and the golden cicada's fruit. Xuanzang."

Xuanzang took a step forward, bowed and put his palms together: "Buddha."

The Buddha said: "You were originally my disciple Jin Chanzi, and you went to the lower realm because of something. However, if you set your heart on Buddhism, you will not lose your original origin, and you will be loyal and pure, and you will be steadfast. Zhan Chan Gongde Buddha, 81 of the Buddhas."

Xuanzang clasped his palms together to thank him, a cloud of celebration suddenly rose from under his feet, lifted him up slowly, and sat down in the empty ranks on the third floor of the altar.

The Buddha called Sun Wukong's name.

The monkey stepped forward, bowed his palms together, and called "Buddha."

"Er was originally a Sanxian of Taiyi. After going through many calamities in the three realms, he cultivated an incorruptible body. He entered my Buddhist sect with one heart and one mind, and he was brave and diligent. He protected Xuanzang all the way to the west. He went through hardships and was loyal. Buddha, one of the 120 Buddhas listed."

The monkey saluted and thanked him, and Qingyun sent him to sit in the middle of the queue.

"Pig Wuneng."

Zhu Bajie stepped forward to salute.

"Erben, Marshal of the Heaven Realm, because of some incidents, he went down to the Realm of Heaven, but he has a lot of good fortune. He converted to Buddhism. Although he often has a lazy heart, but he has kind thoughts in his heart, he leads a horse to carry the burden, and he has worked hard. I now enshrine you as the Envoy Bodhisattva of the Altar. "

Zhu Bajie pouted: "Why do they all become Buddhas, but I only become an altar envoy?"

The Buddha said with a smile: "You are a man of good fortune. There are many people offering sacrifices to me in the world. Every time there is an offering, I want him to sacrifice to your mouth first."

Zhu Bajie felt that his strength had been raised to Taiyi Golden Immortal, curled his lips, accepted it happily, and stepped into the class.

Then, Sha Wujing was named the Golden Body Arhat Bodhisattva, and Xiao Bailong was named the Eight-part Heavenly Dragon Guangli Bodhisattva.

So far, the Zen title has been decided, the five sages have returned to their thrones, and Buddhism has flourished.

In the sky above Mount Sumeru, the incomparably huge cloud of meritorious virtues also condensed to the extreme, constantly vibrating and splitting out.

……

At the foot of Huashan Mountain, Li Yi was watching the grand ceremony in Leiyin Temple with the help of monk Yunju's vision. Suddenly, he felt dark in front of his eyes. At some point, a huge cloud of merit and virtue celebration had come to the sky above his head.

The bone in Xiaotiangou's mouth fell to the ground with a bang, "What good thing have you done that you have so much merit!?"

Li Yi spread his spiritual thoughts away, and soon found that there were a few meritorious forces in the direction of Chang'an City, but compared with his, it was much smaller. After thinking about it, he casually took the group The power of merit was captured and penetrated into the jade seal of Chuanguo.

"To be violent, to be violent..." Xiao Tiangou barked twice in a frenzy.
