Bai Gui gradually realized that the effect of Lingyun Crossing the Merit Water was gradually weakening. He peered into the sky and estimated the progress of Monk Tang and his group in obtaining scriptures, so he opened his eyes.
In the body of the Yang God, three flowers gather at the top.
Of these three flowers, one is a lead flower, one is a silver flower, and one is a gold flower. The three flowers are shining brightly, dripping with endless fairy energy. His whole body seems to have stepped into the void. The void is extinguished from time to time,
Returning from time to time.
"Three flowers gather at the top, and five qi move toward the yuan, which is the path of the Golden Immortal."
"The three flowers are the sky flower, the earth flower, and the human flower. They are also the golden flower, the silver flower, and the lead flower. They are used to refine the spirit and return it to the void, refine the qi into the spirit, and refine the qi. The yang spirit is the true self. Let's go back to the path of qi training.
, so the top three flowers bloomed.”
"When the Five Qi reaches the Yuan Dynasty, the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit will not be far away."
Even though Bai Gui had always been calm, a hint of joy could not help but flash through him at this moment.
From the first hundred days of cultivating the Taoism to building the foundation, to becoming an Earth Immortal, before attaining the Yang God, it is all a false self. The golden elixir is the fetus in the belly raised by the Taoist cultivator, and is the true self, transcending the three realms, and is not invisible.
With the help of the three qi of fortune, longevity and fortune, he greatly shortened the growth time of Yang Shen and gave Yang Shen a foothold.
Later, if you take the path of Qi training and get three flowers, it's just a matter of time and effort.
This is the easiest thing for a direct disciple of the Sanqing Taoist tradition. He uses the three-light divine water produced in the jade liquid bottle to accumulate internal energy, and also gets the lotus seeds of the merit golden lotus to replenish his vitality. The merit water washes the Taoist body, and for a period of time
It is not difficult to have three flowers on the top.
"Congratulations to my fellow Taoist for your diligent practice."
The boatman who received the Buddha's incarnation opened his eyes and smiled.
"Thank you very much, Lord Buddha, for your support."
Bai Gui also expressed his thanks.
It seems that although his feet are in the water of Lingyun Crossing River, in fact, the washing power of Lingyun Crossing River is mostly blocked by the bottomless boat. If he really enters the water of Lingyun Crossing River alone, he may not be able to survive for a while.
In just a moment, one's moral conduct will be greatly reduced, let alone one's cultivation will be improved through it.
"It is common sense that you have done a great job in protecting the people who are seeking scriptures. It is common sense that the poor monk can help you a little." The Buddha then smiled while holding the flowers.
As soon as he finished speaking, his bottomless boat automatically moved towards the other side without wind. He saw four people and one horse coming from the other side, it was Tang Monk and his party.
"I thought you would be at Lingshan, Senior Brother Bai, but I didn't expect you to be at Lingyundu." Zhu Bajie looked at him and looked disappointed for a moment. He had a high official position in the Heavenly Court, and had heard of Lingyundu, and he knew the layout of Lingyundu.
Quite a few.
Previously, he asked Bai Gui to say a few kind words for him in front of Tathagata Buddha. Although Bai Gui declined, there was still a trace of luck in his heart. Now that Bai Gui was at Lingyun Ferry, that trace of luck was gone.
"Amitabha."
Tang Monk clasped his hands together and saluted.
"Please come on board," the old boatman said.
Sun Wukong had sharp eyes and could tell at a glance that the old boatman was the Buddha who was leading the Buddha, and he was also the King of Light in the Namo Precious Banner. However, he had already arrived at Lingshan, and it was hard for him to tell the truth. It seemed that the old boatman was leading the Buddha to conceal Tang Monk, but in fact it was also true.
It's a test.
"How can this bottomless boat ferry people?"
Tang Monk was frightened.
Even though he saw the boatman and Bai Gui on the bottomless boat, who knew that the two of them had some magical powers that could protect him. In addition, the cold water across the river made him more timid. It was as if he was born to be afraid of this.
Ling Yun crosses the river water.
Bai Gui said nothing.
This flying cloud crossing the river, if a mortal without cultivation left, lost his physical body, and had to fly his soul across the river, he would be regarded as a Buddha. But this Buddha is undoubtedly inferior.
Lu Zu once said: "Cultivation of one's nature but not one's life is the first disease of spiritual practice. If one's nature is not cultivated but one's life, it will be difficult for the ghost spirit to become a saint."
Once the physical fetus is abandoned, it will be much more difficult to give birth to the "true self".
The true self of the golden elixir avenue is the perfect and supreme nine-turn golden elixir.
Just like the immortals in heaven, they all seem to be immortals, but there are differences. Among the immortals, the heavenly immortals are the most precious, followed by the earthly immortals, and then the gods. The gods have to be enthroned and canonized. It is difficult to achieve the great truth with only a group of Yin spirits.
, driven by heaven.
But..., that's what it is said.
It doesn't mean that this fairy is not precious anymore.
Only a few people have been able to pass through the Heavenly Avenue. Guan Yinzi's Louguan Dao tradition has gone through all the heavens and worlds for countless years, and it has only received five direct descendants.
A mortal must be valued by a superior and be given a divine status. This is a blessing that cannot be achieved in several lifetimes. There is no room for comment...
The same is true for Buddhist practitioners.
"This is my boat..." The Buddha laughed, and then read out a poem, "Hongmeng initially had a good reputation, but fortunately I managed to hold on without changing it. There are waves and winds, but it is still stable, and there is no end or beginning of joy and peace. Six
A person who is spotless can return to oneness, and travel through all eons of peace and ease. A bottomless boat cannot cross the sea, and it has traveled across all living beings in the past and present."
Sun Wukong knew that the Buddha was urging him to welcome him, so he clapped his hands and agreed on behalf of Tang Monk, "I would like to accept your kind wishes and go to Xitian Lingshan, and also ask the old boatman to welcome my master."
Although Tang Monk was frightened by the bottomless boat, he thought that this was at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, where the Buddha was, and there should be no monsters making trouble, so he nodded and boarded the boat.
As soon as he got on the boat, he felt something fall and he lifted into the sky, as if he had ascended into the sky.
Looking back, I saw a dead body under the boat.
Tang Monk took a few steps back in fear.
"Master, don't be alarmed. This dead body is your mortal body." Sun Wukong was also blessed by the gods, and he was also a disciple of Taiyi Taoism. He knew that as soon as this mortal body was gone, Tang Monk achieved the right fruition and became a Buddha.
Then he comforted Tang Monk with a few words.
"It's you, it's you."
Zhu Bajie, Sha Monk also said.
Tang Monk only knew that a dead body had fallen, but he couldn't really see what it was. When he heard the words of the three disciples, his expression softened and he sat upright on the water.
This Ling Yun crossing the river water only sinks the physical body, not the soul and spirit.
"Congratulations, elder."
The old boatman who received the incarnation of Buddha chuckled lightly.
He held up a long pole, and the bottomless boat carried several people and slowly sailed towards the other side.
After landing on the other side, Tang Monk and his party looked back and found that the old boatman had disappeared. And he seemed to have obtained immeasurable merit, which was very different from when he was a mortal body. As he breathed, inspiration poured into his chest and lungs.
The light desire in the soles of the feet wants to go straight up to Qingming.
"Thank you so much, Wukong."
Tang Monk thanked him.
If Sun Wukong had not warned him just now, he would not have dared to go into the water. Once he had not gone into the water and entered the bottomless boat, even if he had lost his affinity with the Buddha, all his hard work on the journey to the west to obtain scriptures would have been in vain. Of course, this is just Tang Monk's own humble opinion.
Even if Sun Wukong doesn't remind him, others will.
When we arrived at Lingyun Ferry, how could we welcome the Buddha and let Monk Tang return empty-handed?
"No thanks to each other." Sun Wukong shook his head. After passing the Lingyun Ferry, he also washed away all the ferocity, and the Thunder God's face also looked a bit solemn. He said: "Master and I support each other. Master, you can't help me."
We protected him, went to Lingshan Mountain, and escaped from the mortal body. And we also relied on Master to liberate ourselves and obtain the true fruition."
Guzao
"I would also like to thank you, Taoist Master Bai, for this trip."
Tang Monk also turned around and thanked Bai Gui, "If the Taoist priest had not been on the boat, the poor monk would not have dared to follow him."
When he saw Bai Gui on the boat, he felt less worried and got on the bottomless boat calmly.
Bai Gui nodded and accepted this thank you.
"Taoist Master Bai and my mortal biological mother have a history, and the poor monk knows it." Tang Monk sighed, "The poor monk is also a little confused about his own origin. He just took off his mortal body and found out the reason..."
He recounted: "The poor monk's father and mother got married in the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, and the poor monk also rushed to Chang'an in the thirteenth year of Zhenguan. Only when the mortal body is shed will we know the original self."
Bai Gui was just confused about the matter of Chen Guangrui and Yin Wenjiao, and had not reached the point where he had to understand it. However, Tang Seng was willing to talk about it, and he was also willing to listen.
Following Tang Seng's explanation, Bai Gui understood. Tang Seng went to the West for Buddhist scriptures for nine generations. However, when he passed by the Liusha River, he was eaten by Sha Seng for nine lives. In the tenth life, Tang Seng's current life, he was born in nine lives.
After death, he awakened a trace of Jin Chanzi's past, so he used the method of Jin Chanzi to escape from his shell...
If the tenth "Jin Chanzi" still dies, then he will no longer be the one to learn the scriptures. For example, Elder Jinchi of Guanyin Monastery is also one of the scripture seekers. Elder Jinchi is already 270 years old and is suffering.
Waiting, unwilling to reincarnate, just waiting for such an opportunity.
Chen Guangrui is Tang Seng, and Tang Seng is also Chen Guangrui.
Chen Guangrui's death prevented Tang Monk from a fatal calamity. And the past eighteen years was also true. It's just that the original Chen Guangrui was also called Jiang Liu'er. He became a monk and returned to secular life, and went to Chang'an to take the first prize...
"I have pity on the Yin family."
Bai Gui had received some care from the Yin Mansion. This time Tang Monk's merits were fulfilled, and he was willing to seek a better future for Yin Wenjiao. It was a favor without any expense.
"Don't worry, Taoist Master Bai. The poor monk is willing to give up part of his merits to save his birth mother and achieve the throne of immortality."
Tang Monk said "Amitabha Buddha" and then said:
Chen Guangrui's memory was just a shell of his golden toad, not the real thing. So he still recognized Yin Wenjiao as his biological mother.
"Pindao once had an old relationship with the Yin family. Master Xuanzang is willing to do this. It is also a blessing for the Yin family."
Bai Gui nodded.
Pursuing Buddhist scriptures is a major event in the world of Journey to the West. Monk Tang only gave up part of his merits. Even if he could not cross Yin Wenjiao to become a Buddha, it was still feasible for Yin Wenjiao to obtain a immortal position.
The few of them talked for a while and then reached the foot of Lingshan Mountain.
After notifying the Four Great Vajras at the foot of the mountain, they led them to the Main Hall. From the foot of Lingshan Mountain to the Main Hall of Daleiyin Temple, you need to walk through three mountain gates.
The holy monks from Sandaoshan Gate entered the Mahavira Hall and reported: "Buddha, the holy monks from the Tang Dynasty are here."
The Tathagata Buddha nodded and summoned the eight Bodhisattvas, the Four Vajras, the five hundred Arrows, the Three Thousand Revealed Secrets, the Eleven Dayos, and the Eighteen Blues, and arranged them in two rows side by side.
Come together."
After entering the temple, Bai Gui, Tang Seng and the others saluted the Tathagata together.
"Inspector Bai, you have become a true god, and you can take the throne."
Tathagata Buddha summoned a lotus throne, shining with golden light and brilliant steaming clouds.
"Thank you Tathagata."
With a wave of his white robe, he sat down lightly.
He came to Lingshan as a guest, which is just the way Tathagata Buddha treats guests. His status as a heavenly immortal is not low, not to mention that he has just grown three flowers on the top of his head, and is not far from the realm of golden immortals. In addition to the four great Bodhisattvas
, in addition to some Buddhas, most of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Leiyin Temple also have this cultivation level.
"My disciple Xuanzang, following the imperial decree of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the East, went to Baoshan Mountain to pray for the true scriptures in order to benefit all living beings. I hope that I, the Buddha, will show his kindness and return to my country as soon as possible."
Tang Monk knelt down to salute and bowed.
Bai Gui has a weird heart.
Li Shimin was obviously disturbed by the resentment of the Jinghe Dragon King and could not sleep peacefully, so he held a water and land ceremony, and then appointed Tang Monk to go to the West to obtain scriptures. But when Tang Monk came to his mouth, he said the same thing again. See people
Talking about people and talking about ghosts and weird things is nothing more than this.
But he didn't expect that Tang Seng, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, could also speak untruthfully.
"Tang Seng at this time..."
"I guess there are more golden cicadas."
Bai Gui thought about this and sighed.
To be honest, he didn't have much friendship with Tang Seng. But after all, Tang Seng was a simple man. After going through Lingyun and crossing the river, he became like this. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.
The past life... is not necessarily good for this life.
"Your eastern land is the southern part of the continent. Because of the vastness of the sky and the vastness of things and the density of people, you are greedy and murderous... You are unfaithful and unfilial, unjust and unkind, you keep your heart to yourself, you fight against small scales, and you kill others.
.As a result, there will be the ruler of hell, so I will fall into the netherworld forever..."
The Tathagata Buddha looked compassionate towards the world, "Although Confucius established his teachings of benevolence, justice, etiquette and wisdom, and emperors successively punished some disciples by being hanged six times... Now I have the Tripitaka of Sutras, which can help the world."
"This sutra is about talking about the sky, talking about the earth, and saving ghosts. There are thirty-five parts in total, with 15,144 volumes. They are all the path to cultivation, the door to righteousness, and the astronomy and geography of the four major continents in the world.
, characters, birds and animals, flowers and trees, utensils, personnel and affairs, everything is included."
"You have come far from the West to obtain scriptures. You can take them all to help the world and let people know the secret purpose of my ascetic."
He spoke word for word.
Bai Gui heard it a little harsh.
Looking south to Buzhou, the paradise land of the human race. There are almost no demons and troubles. Even if there are wars and disasters, it is just the human race killing each other. In every troubled time, there must be peace. This is not the case in Xiniu Hezhou. The further you go to Lingshan, the more demons and lions there are.
The three kings of Tuoling even ate the people of a whole country. Compared with the war disaster within the human race, this kind of demonic cannibalism is more difficult to cure...
Those who are sanctimonious are all pretentious people.
Bai Gui looked at the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the Mahavira Hall again, but they were just hiding places for filth and evil. He frowned and suppressed the discomfort in his heart.
His Celestial Cultivation does not seem to be weak, but he only has a position in the order.
If he violates the order, his cultivation will be mediocre.
In addition, he always stepped forward, but it could not change the outcome. On the contrary, it would make others laugh at him for not knowing the destiny. Furthermore, Tathagata said this, but it does not necessarily mean that Buddhism will prosper after it is spread. It will not be possible for the three martial arts to destroy the Buddha.
Far away.
"The young monk thanked the Buddha."
Tang Monk thanks you.
"Anuo, Kassapa, and you led four of them to the Zhenlou Pavilion. They first gave them a fast meal, and then gave them a selection of some of the thirty-five volumes of my Tripitaka.
…”
The way of Tathagata Buddha.
On the lotus throne, the two venerables Anuo and Kasyapa took the order, walked down, and led Tang Monk and his party outside the main hall and into the Zhenlou Pavilion.
"Inspection Bai, you are visiting my Lingshan this time..."
After Tang Monk and others left, Tathagata came back and spoke, looking towards Bai Gui.
