Tang Xianzu was wandering in his dream and was slightly surprised when he saw the monk calling him:
"You and I are so far apart, how could we meet here? I was just at my desk..."
As he spoke, he patted his forehead and said happily: "Yes! It was the feeling in a dream!"
"In the past, I once dreamed of a woman and a man meeting each other as wandering souls, using willow branches as matchmakers..."
"This must be my meeting your soul in a dream!"
"I also wrote a book about this encounter between wandering souls, called "The Return of the Soul"..."
Yi Xingseng smiled and said: "It's not surprising that the soul is resurrected and the dream appears. Most people call it weird. In fact, all three souls and seven souls have residences. Sensing in dreams is nothing more than a common occurrence for monks."
"As for the book you wrote, I am a monk, so how can I understand the love between men and women?"
Tang Xianzu burst out laughing after hearing this. Yi Xingseng pointed around and introduced Tang Xianzu:
"This is the Dharma Realm of Buddhism and the Pure Land of Bodhisattva. You have deep Buddha nature in your body, so you are summoned by Bodhisattva. Meet me here in this dream. Your soul swims into the Dharma Realm of Buddhism and you can listen to the voice of Bodhisattva."
"The wandering souls of men and women cannot be seen. All that can be seen is the true face of the Bodhisattva, the scene of heaven and man."
"Namomo Bodhisattva of Light and Darkness."
Monk Yi Xing announced the name of Bodhisattva. Tang Xianzu also clasped his hands. He looked around at the bright golden light. The scenic spot appeared like a mirage. It could only be seen from a distance. When he got closer, it turned into clouds and disappeared. Tang Xianzu looked extremely curious. In order to stabilize the opponent's mind, Yi
The monk waved his hand gently, and thousands of golden lights disappeared immediately, followed by a majestic palace.
The Bodhisattva is high on it, sitting on the lotus platform with his physical body, and many Buddhist disciples on both sides listen to the sermons. Waves of Sanskrit sounds linger around the world, moistening the heart like spring breeze and rain, making people feel comfortable all over, and they forget where they came from and just think about it.
Stay in this place forever and listen to the Dharma.
Tang Xianzu's eyes were full of excitement, and he quickly bowed to pay homage from a distance.
"It is truly a Buddhist paradise! The Bodhisattva of Indifference and Darkness is above!"
Yi Xingseng was very satisfied with Tang Xianzu's reaction at this time, and his mission to him was not in vain.
"You are bound by the Bodhisattva. The Bodhisattva of No Light and Darkness will narrate the scriptures to you. Remember not to be distracted by other things..."
"When the scriptures are recited, the soul will return..."
Tang Xianzu was very happy, but he was also worried. When the incarnation of Yi Xingseng's thoughts was about to leave the Buddhist Dharma Realm, he suddenly stopped Yi Xingseng and asked:
"I am extremely honored to be favored by the Bodhisattva! However, there are still many matters in Suichang County that need to be dealt with. I also have a play that is being revised and has not been finished. There are many, many things...I'm afraid
Can't stay here long."
"I dare to ask, I wonder how long it takes for the Bodhisattva to preach?"
Tang Xianzu seemed a little embarrassed, even very ashamed. He also knew that being favored by a Bodhisattva was something that many Buddhists dream of, but he actually dared to bargain. If those devout Buddhists knew about it,
I'm afraid I have to shake my head at myself, saying that I am too greedy for the world and do not understand the benefits of the Pure Land.
But I haven't finished my work yet. There are still many people's affairs in the county waiting for me to decide. The autumn harvest season is coming soon. It is a busy time. I am really embarrassed to abandon all living beings at this time.
The belly enters this pure land of bliss.
Yi Xingseng naturally did the same, frowning lightly: "Tang Xianzu, Tang Yiyi! Being able to travel to the Bodhisattva's Pure Land with your soul is something that millions of people can't ask for. You actually dare to ask the Bodhisattva when the sermon will end.
?”
"This is disrespectful to Buddhism and Bodhisattva!"
Tang Xianzu said quickly: "It's not that I don't respect Buddhism or Bodhisattva! It's just that I haven't finished my work, and I always have worries in my heart. I never dare to take care of myself!"
"Furthermore, it is also said in Buddhist scriptures that if you want to achieve the Lotus Platform, you must eliminate the seven emotions and six desires. Isn't that what it means to escape into Buddhism and let go of everything? But I dare not let go for the time being. If I want to let go, I feel that I should first
Only when you resign and settle everything properly can you come back here and meet the Bodhisattva."
Yi Xingseng thought that you are too single-minded. You have to cut off this eternity-hard-to-find relationship with Buddhism for the sake of a little earthly life. But then he thought about it. It is precisely because of this kind of character that you can have righteousness.
.
"That's exactly what you said..."
"If you can't let go completely, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve anything in Buddhism."
"Well, let me explain it to the Bodhisattva, and you can keep it in mind. At this time, the Bodhisattva is preaching the first sutra. When you hear the third sutra, it will be almost the same..."
Yi Xingseng thought that by the time of the third sutra, your soul would have been sacrificed and returned to nothingness.
At that time, the ascension meeting should have advanced to its climax, and King Lu would have successfully transformed into an immortal body.
Tang Xianzu bowed down quickly and couldn't help but said, "Thank you so much, Master."
"You don't need to thank me. Remember to listen to the Dharma and don't have second thoughts. Otherwise, it will be terrible if your soul is lost outside the Dharma Realm..."
.........
Under the stars, in the dark night sky, there are colorful lights rolling, like dragons and winds. It is the monks gathered here, including many celebrities from all walks of life, offering the treasure of immortality to King Lu!
"Taoist Master Yongshui of Kinmen Mountain offers a portion of bluestone stalactite treasure to Prince Lu! Taking it can prolong life and eliminate the curse of diseases!"
A golden-robed monk with a long beard floated over, holding a blue-light treasure in his hand. He waved his hand and let go, and the treasure fell into the king's ship.
"Taoist Master Linxia of Zige Cave, offer a portion of Wuwu Divine Water to Prince Lu! Eating it can increase the water element and nourish the immortal bones!"
"The master of Qiyang Temple in Baiguang Temple presents a piece of heavenly brocade clothing to Prince Lu! Wearing it can control the six qi and travel around the sky!"
"Palace Master Qingjin of the Qingxian Palace, here is a volume of memorial tribute for Prince Lu! Burning it with fire can drive the gods, and summon him for your own use in a moment!"
"The master of the Ghost King Palace of Santai Mountain invited Taoists to offer a box of jade-rhymed green ashes to Prince Lu! Burning it with fire can lead to incense and collect the merits of the sacrifice!"
"The incense-drinking fairy of Yunxiao Temple presents a horn of a horned dragon to Prince Lu! Blowing its sound can drive dragons and other kinds of creatures and shake the water of rivers."
There was an endless stream of monks offering treasures, like waves flying into the clouds, shaking the stars! The highlight was coming soon, and the gifts from Laoshan and Quanzhen had also arrived.
"The Baiwuzi of the Laoshan sect presented the Burnt Turtle Mirror to Prince Lu, a copy of this sacred treasure! This mirror is clear and translucent, and can illuminate unexpected things and detect the dangers of heaven and earth!"
"Jiang Quzi of the Chongyang Palace presented the Huainan King's medicinal gold to Prince Lu. One share of this magical treasure is worth half a tael in the world! This medicinal gold has psychic powers and can increase the chance of successful ascension to the pure Yang realm by 20%!"
Two important figures appeared on the stage, arrived in a colorful light, and presented treasures, which shocked everyone and caused other monks to talk to each other. With these two treasures, there is almost no need to gamble whether you can succeed in becoming an immortal!
First check the heavenly secrets, and then take the medicinal gold. After ascending, if you are not an immortal, you will be a medicinal bait immortal, with the magical power to cure diseases and return to death!
King Lu's eyes lit up and he immediately appeared and thanked these two people:
"Fellow Taoist Baiwu and friend Jiangdao, thank you so much for your help in times of need!"
Both of them bowed and saluted. Bai Wuzi said modestly, "What are you talking about, Your Majesty! It is my duty to find treasures for Your Majesty!"
Jiang Quzi said: "Today, the prince has ascended to enlightenment and has become the sacred master of our world. Although we are ranked as gods, we are still half a step away from pure Yang. It is too extravagant to use these things. We should just offer them to the prince to achieve useful results."
thing!"
"Hahaha! Okay, okay, thank you two fellow Taoists. If I become an immortal today, I promise you that even if there is no chance of becoming an immortal in this life, you can still get the blessing of pure Yang!"
The two great monks returned the gift and said in unison: "Thank you very much, Your Majesty!"
King Lu said to Jiang Quzi again: "When I become an immortal, you can leave the Chongyang Palace and come to the south to open up the second Chongyang. It just so happens that the south is full of true people and has no outstanding talents and is weak in power. It is time for you to spread your branches."
, be the leader of a religion again.”
"What the prince said is exactly what I meant. The Chongyang Palace is still decaying. It's a pity that it's just a pure Yang realm and can't be compared with Zhengyi. The palace owner is also pedantic and guarding the immortal monument in the palace."
If you insist on not practicing Buddhism and spreading good karma, saying that you will break the rules of Taoism, and those who lose karma, even if they are recruited into the palace, they will not be able to achieve great things. Such remarks are really stupid."
"Only by recruiting disciples widely can we glorify Chongyang and revitalize Quanzhen. Now that the Taoist sects in the world are all respected, how can I, Quanzhen, have any place to speak! This is really the tragedy of the times. In the past, when the Wuyang Emperor was the emperor, Quanzhen
Such prosperity can never be repeated again!"
King Lu looked at another Baiwuzi again: "Fellow Baiwu, do you have any thoughts about establishing a sect in the south?"
Bai Wuzi smiled: "Pindao also has this intention, but now he can't get away. It would be a great thing for the prince to ascend to immortality, but just a few days ago, before Pindao came here, the Laoshan sect received a request from the court.
Order, request to go to North Korea and kill the Japanese pirates."
"Pindao thought that it would be a good thing to go to Korea and preach for the prince, so that all the elites in Liaodong would defect."
King Lu's eyes lit up: "Okay! Among the elites of the Ming Dynasty in Korea, there are not only soldiers from Liaodong, but also many coastal naval forces from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Many of them are elite soldiers and generals trained by Qi Jiguang back then.
If we can take this group of people for our own use, the hearts and minds of the people in the world will soon come to their aid."
"At that time, the sun and the moon will shine together. My imperial brother can only guard the land of Huaibei and live in a bitter cold place. All the elites in the world are in my hands, and he will only be left with remnants of veteran soldiers, who cannot be used for much purpose."
The two monks looked at each other and smiled, and King Lu also praised them a lot. After talking for a while, he greeted other famous sect members who came to congratulate them one by one.
The group of cultivators declined, and there were so many people that it was inconvenient to board the ship. After all, although the king ship was large, it was also limited in size. After all, the Qinhuai River was not the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. There was not such a wide water area, and naturally there could not be the kind of giant ship that could race horses in Class A.
King Lu held the precious mirror in his hand, which seemed intentional or unintentional, and then recommended two other people to many monks.
"Mr. Yao, I am a close friend of the King. Everyone should know him, so I won't introduce him in detail."
"These two..."
King Lu sent someone to invite the two men, so Ji Xiang and Yi Xingseng walked out together.
"This is Master Yi Xing from the Great Retribution Temple in Yingtian. He once discussed Buddhism with Zen Master Zibai."
When the words came out, Jiang Quzi was shocked: "Zen Master Zibai, one of the four great sages?"
He looked at Yi Xingseng again and found that the aura of this man was no weaker than that of the four great sages of the past. He was about to reach the end of the Pure Yang realm. Although he had not yet reached the threshold of immortality, he only needed one
Occasionally, you can take a step further.
Jiang Quzi clicked his tongue and marveled: "Beside the prince, in the land of Yingtian, there is such a great master hiding!"
"There are only four venerable people in the world of Buddhism who are at the peak of Chunyang. I didn't expect that now they will be called the five great venerables!"
King Lu pointed at Ji Xiang again, and at this time he intentionally turned the mirror in his hand to face Ji Xiang's side face.
"This is my royal brother, the Emperor Wanli, the second real person in the world whom I personally proclaimed!"
"Zhengyi Jiji Renwei Zhenren!"
As soon as these words came out, the group of cultivators were shocked. Bai Wuzi's eyes flashed: "I've heard something recently! There was a big chaos in the Forbidden City not long ago, and it was quelled by the strong ones in the Ascension Realm. The name of the second best in the world spread out."
"But you seem to be just an earthly immortal?"
Bai Wuzi is only in the realm of refining gods and has not reached the pure Yang realm. Although Ji Xiang's aura is extraordinary, he can feel it a little bit, but after all, he cannot see it as thoroughly as the pure Yang realm, so he has some doubts.
King Lu smiled: "Reincarnated in the Ascension Realm and re-cultivated, the Earth Immortal is just a physical strength. If anyone wants to compete with the real person in the North Pole, after I become an immortal, they can witness it under my gaze."
"I wonder what you really mean?"
Ji Xiang said calmly: "I dare not say that I can conquer the monks in the world, but except for Master Yi Xing beside me, I will certainly not refuse anyone else here!"
Bai Wuzi suddenly burst into laughter: "What a big sigh, what a cheer! It's a bit arrogant like an immortal. You just ascended to the lower world. I wonder which sect you belong to?"
Ji Xiang: "Expositor, I was laid to rest during the Han Dynasty. Where did the sect come from at that time? You young people, you must always ask the sect when you talk about others. Are you afraid of meeting someone you can't afford to offend?"
Bai Wuzi laughed three times: "Then after the immortal meeting, I will ask the immortal for advice."
Ji Xiang nodded: "It's easy to talk, but I haven't moved for a thousand years, and I don't have a high degree of control over this body now. Therefore, sometimes the shots are heavier, so you have to be patient."
Jiang Quzi smoothed things over with a smile: "Why do we have to differentiate ourselves? We are all Taoist friends of the prince. If we kill each other, wouldn't it be a joke to the emperor? What else can we say to fight against Zhenren Zhang? What can we use to fight against the sun and the moon?
Hui?"
The monks saw that this drama was about to start, and they all watched the excitement without taking it too seriously. The battle between the gods and the immortals... well, although he is a crippled immortal, he still has the character of immortal, so his strength must be extraordinary.
When the Ascension Conference is over, this matter will definitely look better.
King Lu, on the other hand, turned the mirror back.
Just now, he had obtained the inner secret of using the mirror ability from Bai Wuzi, but under this look, the secret showed that Ji Xiang was not a threat at this time, and even the threat level was very low.
King Lu couldn't help but think about it.
Could it be that Master Beiji really surrendered to him sincerely?
