Chapter 204 The Thousand Sons Return to the Sect
Pink City is a fortress, not too big, but it looks simple and elegant. There are many sculptures and giant trees, showing a strong atmosphere of civilization. Liu Feng does not understand Buddhism, but he is a crazy Taoist. In order to refute various sects, he has read the classics well.
, maybe have some Buddha nature?
He looked at the plants and trees around him and murmured, "Infinite Heavenly Lord, this is strange. I have been to countless large and small temples, and I have never felt such a solemn and peaceful feeling. Could it be that this is a Buddhist holy land?"
"Lumbini, Bodh Gaya, Sarnath, and Kusi Nagar, these are the holy places of Buddhism, right? They are far away from here. Crazy Taoist priest, you must be prematurely old and confused in advance." Liu Feng deliberately mocked Madness.
Taoist priest.
"No, no, madman, you have to trust the intuition of a monk. It's definitely not simple here!" the mad Taoist said, pointing to a nearby river that was not that big.
Liu Feng followed his hand and saw a river winding to the north. Not far from the river, there was a huge pool full of lotus flowers, red, white, pink, purple, and green.
The green lotus leaves make a beautiful contrast, and the twisted and vigorous trees on the river bank, lined up in rows, look simple and mysterious.
At this time, there happened to be a practitioner not far away. He was a skinny practitioner. He was wearing an earthy yellow monk's robe, but it was already in tatters. He was covered in red, white and yellow oil paint. He was quietly sitting next to the driest old tree.
Meditate quietly.
The mad Taoist priest became interested. He pulled Liu Feng and ran carelessly in front of the practitioner. He stretched out his fingers, using his index and middle fingers as swords, pointing to the sky, and then made a similar gesture with his right hand, but the index finger and the planting pointed at
The root of the palm of his left hand, then bowed and shouted:
"Infinite Heavenly Lord, hey hey hey, how are you, master?"
Liu Feng had never seen this weird gesture done by a crazy Taoist priest before, but judging from the respectful look of this crazy guy, it must be a very formal etiquette, but that wretched hehehe turned it all into nothing. Fortunately, this
Picking up a conversation seems to work.
The cultivator opened his eyes slightly. Under his long white eyebrows, a pair of fine eyes shone like lightning. He looked at the mad Taoist priest and nodded slightly in return.
"I'd like to ask Master, I'm not talented at the channel. I feel very strong Buddha's light here. I wonder if I'm crazy or there are some other reasons?" the crazy Taoist asked for advice.
When the practitioner heard the words, his body trembled slightly and he managed to stand up. He bowed and gave a salute to the mad Taoist priest. Then he said slowly:
"Dharma Master is wise, this is the place where the Thousand Sons returned to their clan, and it is also the trace of the Tathagata's past."
We can understand the traces of the Tathagata's journey. What does the return of the Thousand Sons have to do with Buddhism? Liu Feng was confused, and the crazy Taoist priest was also confused.
Liu Feng became a little curious. He licked his face and asked: "Master, the Buddha's light is indeed shining everywhere in the place where the Buddha walked. But does the return of the Thousand Sons have anything to do with the Buddha's light?"
This question seemed to irritate the cultivator. He stared at Liu Feng with cold eyes. Immediately, he felt that the monk should not be so angry, so he calmed down and continued to preach to the two of them:
"In the past, an immortal lived in seclusion in a valley not far away. When the spring was warm and the flowers were blooming, he used to drink water here. By coincidence, an elk happened to be drinking water not far away. The elk sensed the immortal energy and transformed into a woman with a graceful posture.
She is extremely beautiful, but has only one pair of feet, which are still like deer's feet.
The immortal was greatly surprised when he saw the deer girl, so he adopted the deer girl. After arriving at the fairy house, he asked her to pray for fire. Wherever the girl went and where her feet stepped, there were many traces of lotus flowers. When the immortal saw it, he felt that
The girl was definitely blessed with great fortune. So she was asked to run around the fairy hut, leaving many lotus flowers where there was water."
When the cultivator said this, he pointed at the lotus flowers around him, as if these were the ones left by the deer girl. He continued:
"After a while, the deer girl returned to the fairy house, and sure enough she came back with fire. After the fairy and the deer girl lived here for a while, the fairy wandered around, leaving the deer girl here alone.
It happened that King Brahmayu of the Vaishya Kingdom was on an outing. He saw lotus flowers all over the place and traces of lotus flowers on the road. He found the Deer Girl along the way. He felt very strange and took her back to the palace. After King Brahmayu returned to his country, he met The master predicted that this woman would give birth to a thousand sons. Everyone heard this and didn't take it seriously.
Unexpectedly, after the full term, the deer gave birth to a lotus flower with a thousand leaves and a seed on the leaf. The good people of the Vaishya state saw it and the name was unknown, so they abandoned the lotus in the Kejia River. Well, this is the river. ." The cultivator pointed to the river in front of him.
"King Wu Qiyan of the lower reaches of the river was playing in the lower reaches of the river. He saw a golden light coming from the waves. He ordered people to fish it up and opened it with his own hands. There were actually a thousand sons inside. At that time, their country was weak, and King Wu Qiyan felt that this It was auspiciousness from heaven that he raised these thousand sons.
These one thousand children were extremely powerful. With the power of these one thousand children, King Wuqiyan was able to defeat all attacks and conquer all battles. He expanded his territory and was invincible. Finally, after conquests from all directions, he came to the Vaishya Kingdom. King Brahmayu When I heard the news, I was shocked. The strength of the troops was too far apart and I was helpless.
Only Deer Girl understood that these one thousand children were their sons. So she took the initiative to ask for a battle, saying that there was a way to defeat the enemy. King Fanyu did not hold out much hope, but there was really no other way but to agree.
The Deer Girl came to the Pink City Tower and waited for the enemy. Qianzi led his army and surrounded the Pink City. The Deer Girl said to them,
'I am your mother and you are my children.'
Qianzi didn't believe it and asked, 'It's nonsense, is there any evidence?'
The Deer Girl pressed her breasts with her hands, and as she was feeling by nature, the breast milk was divided into thousands of strips and sprayed into the mouth of the Thousand Son. Only then did the Thousand Son believe it, mother and son recognized each other, the two countries ceased fighting and formed an alliance, and the people were saved from war."
The story ends here, and the cultivator narrates it. It is a magnificent story that makes Liu Feng and the crazy Taoist priest stunned. However, the last sentence of the cultivator is the key point:
"Buddha was walking here, pointed at this place, and said, I will return to the ancestral home that day to meet my relatives. I want to know who the Thousand Sons are, that is, the Thousand Buddhas of the Wise Kalpa!"
The mad Taoist priest and Liu Feng were shocked when they heard this. It turned out that this was the place where Thousand Buddhas appeared. No wonder the mad Taoist priest could feel the light of Buddha here. However, it was further confirmed that Liu Feng had no connection with Buddha at all.
The two said goodbye to the practitioners, bowed respectfully to the lotus pond, and then left the place.
There was a military headquarters in the city, where Liu Feng and others discussed matters. They told the story of the Thousand Buddhas of the Thousand Tribulations, and everyone was filled with sighs.
"Madman, our tens of millions of troops stationed here are not a long-term solution. If we continue to go south, we should return to Shiqunv City. Please be clear!" Zhao Yun said.
