Chapter 16 Eight Questions about the Sound of Buddha
The picture in front of Yueguan Mountain suddenly changed, and it turned into a mysterious and dark place.
In the darkness, a man was sitting under a peach tree making tea. Beside the tree, there was a pool of clear and wavy water.
This scene in Yueguan Mountain is very familiar. It is exactly the scene when I first met Sakyamuni. One is pure and holy, with the sun shining; the other is dark, with demonic energy covering the sun.
Yueguan Mountain transformed into the future Buddha Sumeru, and with the Buddha's light shining from his body, he came forward and sat opposite this person.
Suddenly, in this realm, the lights of Buddha and demons were clearly visible.
Only then did Future Buddha Sumeru clearly see what this person looked like.
The black hair is hanging down and the corners of the mouth are smiling, adding a bit of evil; the monk's robe is dark and ignorant, making it look a bit mysterious.
Exactly: Buddha is not a Buddha and does not respect the Eight Precepts and Six Desires. Demons are not demons and do not belong to the realm of corruption, form, and emptiness.
Just listen to his words: "My name is Karti, and people in the world call me the demon of Buddha. In the past, Sakyamuni and I realized the Tao under Bodhi. He realized Buddha, and I realized the demon, and we embarked on a completely different path. I defeated the demon and was tested by the monk.
, make it through to become a Buddha, don’t make it through to become a demon.”
The demon karma of the Buddha poured a cup of tea and handed it to the future Buddha Sumeru.
Xumi took it, the tea was clear and dark, and he drank it all in one gulp. Suddenly, he felt many magical sounds in his ears, disturbing people's purity, stimulating desires in the heart, and making people intoxicated.
I don't know where I am, but the five poisons of greed, anger, ignorance, pride, and doubt are always present around my body.
It suddenly feels like I have experienced a whole life.
He opened his eyes and said: "Interesting, is this the Seven Laws of Your Demon Test?"
"However, after one life of reincarnation, one can become enlightened, but not corrupted."
What Xumi experienced just now was the first of the seven laws of the demon test: it is called the five poisons.
Yeti asked again: "How about another drink?"
"Yes."
Yeti poured another cup and handed it to Xumi. After drinking it, there was a demonic sound that disturbed his ears, and he felt confused for another life.
It is the second law of the Seven Laws of Mo Kao: It is called Bajie.
Sumeru put down the tea cup and said: "Yes, this tea is refreshing, and it is as refreshing as the Sakyamuni Sage. Demon friend Yeti, please have another cup."
Yeti smiled and said: "Ha, what a future Buddha. My Buddhist friend Sumeru, please have tea."
Xumi drank four more cups in a row and said with a smile: "Good tea, good tea, there is one last cup left. Friends, please fill it up. I will taste this cup."
Yeti filled his bowl and said, "Buddha friend, please."
Sumeru drank it and fell into the seventh law of the Demon Test: Ah, it said: Evil in the world.
The weather is evil, with violent storms, thunder and lightning, and exposed to the sun for seven days.
The earth is evil, the water is dry, the soil is barren and the trees are withered, and there is a severe drought for thousands of miles.
After a long time, Xumi Fang opened his eyes and said: "Destroy the heaven and earth, and recreate the universe."
Yeti praised: "I heard that Sakyamuni bestowed upon you the position of the future Buddha. I saw that you were too young and felt a bit contemptuous. But when I saw you today, I realized that the Dharma is profound and your spiritual virtues are excellent. You are worthy of being the future Buddha."
Sumeru said: "My friend who is observing demons is testing the seven laws of demons. I have created a method called the Eight Questions of Buddha's Sounds. I can understand the meaning of being a human being. If you are not aware of being a demon, please ask my demon friends to try the method."
Eight peach blossom petals fell. Xumi took them and placed them in a teapot. When the tea boiled, he poured a cup and handed it to Yeti. There was a peach blossom in the cup.
Yeti took it and found that the cup was white and clear, with the fragrance of flowers overflowing. He said: "Interesting, interesting, the fragrance in a cup of tea is good, and the mystery in a petal of a flower."
Ye Ti drank it all in one gulp, the tea moistened his throat, heat arose from the bottom of his heart, and inexplicable laughter rang in his ears.
Yeti opened his eyes. The wind was calm and the sun was shining brightly. There were no clouds in the sky. He was in a busy city. People were coming and going and being polite. Who was playing the piano in the distance?
It is the first question of the Eight Questions of the Buddha's Voice: Ha, it means goodness.
In the blink of an eye, the illusion comes round and round, and a lifetime has passed.
Yeti put down the teacup, thought about it carefully, and said: "What a great Buddha's Eight Questions. Please have another cup."
Xumi passed another full cup to Yeti and drank it.
It is the second question of the Eight Questions of the Buddha's Voice: Oh, it is called love.
Ye Ti drank five more cups in a row, and reached the seventh of the eight questions asked by the Buddha's voice: Well, all living beings are at peace.
He said: "Buddhist friends, please fill up the last cup."
Xumi poured out the last cup and handed it over, saying: "If you can pass the seven questions, you are an extraordinary fellow demon. Please."
When Ye Ti drank it, the sound of the piano came up again, which was the last of the eight questions of the Buddha's sound: Oh, it means the harmony of heaven and earth.
When the weather is harmonious, the spring is warm and the summer is cool, the sun is warm and the rain is light.
When the earth is harmonious, autumn will be harvested and winter will be stored, maples will fall and snow will fly, and all things will be peaceful.
After a long time, Yeti opened his eyes and said: "Destroying the heaven and the earth, the devil is so powerful."
Xumi shook his head and said: "No, no."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yeti frowned, and the music played in his ears again, and he fell into an illusion again.
Xumi smiled and said: "I can use cheating methods like destroying the world and destroying the world once. How can I let you use it too? Demon friend Ye Ti, please understand it carefully."
He smiled softly and waved his hand, and the realm before his eyes changed. He was in a dense forest, the clouds dispersed, the wind cleared, and the sky was warm.
He had just sensed that the location of the Buddha's demon karma was in a foreign realm, sealed by the two energies of Buddhism and Taoism.
Yue Guan Shan teased the little yellow beast lying on his shoulder and said with a smile: "You are responsible for your karma. The eighth question of the Buddha's voice is enough for you to sink."
He was inspired by the Seven Laws of Observing Demons and Examining the Seven Laws, and based on the Xuanzhang of Confucianism and Xuanhuangdao, he created the Eight Questions of Buddhist Sound.
"Buddha's demonic karma uses demonic energy to send spirits and retain tricks. This method is very wonderful. I take it for my own use. You are the demon cultivators in the world. You are blessed."
Yue Guan Shan comprehended it a little and got the key. After thinking about it for a moment, he understood it completely.
"Buddha's Demon Karma Ti is the first one to be tricked. Who will be the second demon to be tricked next?"
Walking forward from Yueguan Mountain, when the full moon rises in the sky, you come to a majestic city.
The guards in the city are strong, and the whole family is happy in the city. It is like the first city in China, the Holy City of Xuanyuan.
Entering the Holy City of Xuanyuan from Yueguan Mountain, you can see every household decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, reunited and admiring the moon.
It’s really lively.
When he arrived at the city lord's mansion, he was greeted by an attendant who said, "Invite me, your distinguished guest. The Holy Aunt has already prepared a dinner waiting for you."
Yue Guan Shan followed the attendants into the Wind Viewing Platform, the highest point of Xuanyuan Holy City.
In the wind viewing platform, the holy girl Red Lady prepared the dishes and greeted her with a smile: "I felt the glow coming this morning. I guessed it was you, so I prepared a dinner reception in advance."
Yue Guan Shan bowed and said, "Thank you so much, Master. I happen to be hungry."
The two of them sat down, and the red lady said: "Then eat more. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the whole family should be reunited. It is my wife's fault that I have to take a trip to Zhuolu Wilderness and delay your family reunion."
Yue Guanshan said hurriedly: "My wife's words are serious. The overall stability of China is the most important thing. I offer you a cup of tea and wish everyone in the world, whether at home or out, whether alone or reunited with relatives and friends, a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and peace in China.
China's Ankang."
A drink for two.
Yue Guanshan said again: "I think Master Niang has received the news about the incident in the Zhuolu Wilderness. My protection was not good and the soul of Emperor Chi escaped."
"I don't blame you, no one could have imagined that the Sword Arhat would happen. If we don't talk about anything else today, tell me about your master."
"Yes."
While the two were eating, they talked about how Yue Guan Shan had almost overturned Master Shen Ru Zichuan.
When the red lady heard this, she sometimes laughed, sometimes in a daze.
While we were talking and laughing, we suddenly heard a voice coming from the sky, and someone said: "Little sister, you have gone too far. It is rude to start eating without waiting for the lonely emperor."
I saw Emperor Xuanyuan descending from the sky with the aura of the God-Emperor, wearing a crown and imperial robe, entering the wind viewing platform, and said with a smile: "But Yueguan Mountain, a disciple of the Confucian God?"
"Exactly, this junior has met senior Xuanyuan Emperor."
Emperor Xuanyuan said: "You are my son Jun Dihong, Jun Xuanyuan's teacher. You and I can be equals."
The red lady holds her forehead, this relationship is messed up, it’s messed up.
Emperor Xuanyuan sat down, and the three of them ate and drank. After a while, Emperor Xuanyuan said: "Brother Yue, we happened to meet each other today, and I just have something to ask. I have integrated the energy of Emperor Chi, and even though Shen Ke is gone, my true energy has greatly increased, and my strength has greatly improved.
But it is not very satisfactory and leaves behind future troubles."
"Another point is that the fused true essence is not incompatible with my divine emperor body. I'm afraid that if things continue like this, things will change. I've tried every solution, but the only one you wrote is the Difference and Combination Sutra, which I carefully understood.
If it’s been a while since I didn’t understand something, could you please explain it in detail?”
"Please say."
The two of them asked and answered each other for a long time. Yue Guanshan was deep in thought, and suddenly remembered something: "Did you want to fuse the body of Emperor Chi to balance the physical body and the true essence?"
"I have plans and ideas in this regard."
"Aren't you afraid that Emperor Chi has a hidden hand in his body?"
Emperor Xuanyuan frowned, worried, ate some more, said "Goodbye, please", turned around and left.
The red lady said: "Guan Shan, do you have a way to solve the physical problem?"
"It's simple, just practice another Kung Fu body like Emperor Chi. By then, you will have a dual-polar Kung Fu body, one clear and one turbid, and you will be almost invincible. Don't worry, Master. I think Emperor Xuanyuan has already made a plan." p>
Yue Guanshan said again: "My junior brother is about to leave, and I will send him a small yellow beast to keep him company. Each person and the beast will support each other and increase his luck."
On that day, Riyueguanshan rescued the little Chenghuang beast and sent it back to its parents. The two Mahayanahuangs handed it over to Yueguanshan, knowing that their own strength could not protect the Chenghuang little beast.
Today, Yueguan Mountain will hand over the little yellow beast to the red lady, so that it can grow up with her son.
The little Chenghuang beast had channeled his spirit, purred a few times, licked Yueguan Mountain a few times, ran to the red lady's shoulder, changed his position, and lay down to sleep again.
Emperor Xuanyuan left with the energy of the God Emperor, thinking about his martial arts, and headed straight to the top of the sea of clouds. When he was approaching the peak, a powerful palm suddenly struck him unexpectedly.
Emperor Xuanyuan lost his mind and was shocked. In an instant, the clear and turbid energy came out at the same time, breaking through the clouds with his palm, and standing on the top of the sea of clouds.
At this time, I was shocked to see the sea of clouds surging, and there was a god behind the sea of clouds, saying angrily: "The aura of the God Emperor, the aura of Emperor Chi, my friend Emperor Xuanyuan, how do you explain your various schemes?"
………………
In the past, Brahma fell into the devil, went through the devil's examination, and entered the Buddha's hometown to rebuild.
I wish all fellow Taoists a happy Mid-Autumn Festival.
