Last time, it was said that Zhou Qing went to the Lotus Assembly at the invitation of the Tathagata. On the way, he met King Dapeng. The roc came and plucked his hair. After that, everything went smoothly. When he arrived at the Saha Pure Land, he was greeted by the Bodhisattva Guangli of the Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons. Just as he was about to
As he entered, he heard golden light, spiritual teeth, and the three demon immortals with Qiu-headed heads saying hello. Zhou Qing had some favors with the Qiu-headed Immortal, so it was normal for the three immortals to greet each other when they met.
The three immortals came up and bowed to the Eight Heavenly Dragons and Guangli Bodhisattva respectively. Zhou Qingdu bowed their heads and everyone set foot on the Pure Land. Naturally, monks came up to wait on them. Zhou Qing then ordered Red Boy to park the three rhinoceroses and the chariot.
He asked twenty boys to guard him and was led by a monk to a nearby temple.
The three rhinos looked at the three immortals and howled again. Jin Guangxian couldn't help but sigh: "Good, good!" and remained silent.
Zhou Qing said with a smile: "This rhinoceros set up the Qinglong Demon Kingdom in Dongsheng Shenzhou and caused countless murders for nothing. I hooked up with Chen Dajiao and wiped out the demon atmosphere in the three realms. I came here to seduce this demon according to the talisman of Yuanshi Tianzun."
When your merits and deeds are completed, you will be able to escape from disaster. Why are you sighing, brother Taoist?"
Jin Guangxian smiled and said: "Nothing, nothing! God please, we are here to talk about scriptures at the invitation of Senior Brother Duobao. There are many old friends among them. I want to greet you, so I won't disturb God here."
Zhou Qing practiced the Zhoutian Star Formation, comprehended the ancient starry sky, and became more and more diligent in his Taoism. Looking at the expressions and tone of the three immortals, although they were peaceful, the resentment in them was deep, and sooner or later, big things would inevitably happen, so it was not easy to get too close.
In order to avoid harm to yourself, when the other party said goodbye, he did not hold back. He said goodbye with a loud voice, then parted ways, and walked together with the eight heavenly dragons and Guangli Bodhisattva to the Seven Treasures Pagoda in the center of the Pure Land. The Red Boy Witch followed him.
later.
As we walked along the way, we saw the tall and majestic pagoda in the center of the Pure Land. It seemed to be right in front of us, but in fact it was far away, probably not even thousands of miles away. Red Boy looked at the Pure Land from a distance from behind, and saw that the land under his feet was golden, as if it were made of gold.
There are many golden lotuses engraved on it, one connected to another, forming a wide avenue that leads straight to the distance. Beyond the avenue, there are ordinary mountains and rocks and soil. The Sara woods are dense and beautiful, and the Polo flowers are blooming, and the pure land is fragrant.
There are many Zen monasteries and temples hidden in the Sara forest and among the Polo flowers. There are also towers, gurgling water, chirping of birds, and the occasional sound of bells, which makes it more and more quiet. The red boy is lucky
Looking far away, I can't see the edge of the Pure Land. I know that this Pure Land is vast and was created by the Tathagata with the great power of heaven. Although it is not as good as Pangu's creation of the sky, it is still a pure land.
When I looked back from the road, I saw white clouds curling behind me. This piece of pure land was clearly floating in mid-air on the sea. I could also faintly hear the sound of the waves below. Although it was the middle of winter, it was not cold overseas. In the pure land,
It is also like spring all year round, and the polo flowers are in bloom all year round.
"Brother, look!" The witch pointed with her hand and saw that outside the pure land, sword lights and crystal lights were flying towards each other in twos and threes. They stopped at the edge and set foot on the pure land. After that, they entered various Zen monasteries and temples in the Sara forest.
, not only came those who wielded swords, but also the colorful escaping lights, there were also real immortals who came down from heaven riding divine beasts, riding on auspicious clouds, a large part of them went to visit those Zen master friends, and a small number were led by monks.
Went up the Golden Lotus Avenue, coming from the Pagoda, and there were disciples following behind us.
The witch knows that when the Tathagata talks about the Dharma, not every monk in the three realms accepts the invitation. Only those with high status and deep spiritual power can come to talk about the Dharma. And most of the earthly and heavenly immortals who come here have heard about the Tathagata.
When you hold a Lotus Conference, you can listen to the sutras outside, hoping to gain some understanding and deepen your own practice.
Many of these immortals are good friends with Zen masters in the Pure Land, and often communicate with them. For example, in the Shu Mountain area, the heavenly and earthly immortals all have a large robe, and they have been friends with Zen sects in the human world. Many people came to this Lotus Festival,
Although I have no chance to set foot on the Golden Lotus Avenue and pay homage to my Buddha, the Tathagata talks about sutras and spreads them throughout the Pure Land, and everyone can listen to them.
Eight Heavenly Dragon Guangli Bodhisattva is the cousin of the Dragon Princess Ao Luan. Ao Luan and Zhou Qing have a close friendship, so the Tathagata sent the Bodhisattva to greet him. Zhou Qing knew this and asked: "The Tathagata invites you, are you there?"
How many fellow Taoists are there?”
The Bodhisattva folded his hands and said: "There is the Great Immortal Zhenyuan of Wuzhuangguan in Wanshou Mountain, the Great Immortal Wukong Taoist in Huaguoshan Mountain, the ancient Buddha of the Western Bliss Burning Lamp, Maitreya Buddha, the Infinite Life Buddha, the Vajra Indestructible Buddha, the Xuantian Martial God, and the
God Ji Ziwei, as well as the Bodhisattvas, the four heavenly masters of the Celestial Palace, the Heavenly King Tuota, the Great God of Three Altar Seas, the True Monarch of Qingyuan Miaodao, and other heavenly gods and gods, are indescribably auspicious, and I would like to ask God to take a look at it from the top of the pagoda.
"
Zhou Qing didn't ask any questions. After walking for two hours, he arrived at the pagoda. As expected, he saw a solemn Dharma. When he entered the pagoda again, he saw the splendor of gold and green. Sanskrit chants were natural, rising up from the sky. There was no discernible appearance. There were novice monks coming and going.
The Buddha's light appeared behind his head, but he was a Taoist monk.
After going up to the sixth floor of the pagoda, the door was guarded by Dingjia God Vajra. Guangli Bodhisattva Red Boy said to the witch: "Above the seventh floor is the holy place where my Buddha talks about scriptures with all the saints. It is inconvenient for God's disciples to enter, but right here
You can visit the pagoda, visit the Pure Land Sara Forest and the Polo Garden."
Red Boy and the Witch then listened to Zhou Qing's wishes, and Zhou Qing smiled and said, "You two can go on your own, you can go and have fun, there is no need to be restrained."
Red Boy and the Witch said: "Listen to the teacher's instructions." Zhou Qing nodded and followed Guangli Bodhisattva up to the seventh floor of the pagoda. He saw that there was no roof above his head, but infinite void. The place he lived in was a platform with a platform in front of him.
There is a huge treasure pillar. Under the treasure pillar, there are three lotus terraces. However, Sakyamuni Tathagata is not seen on the main lotus terrace in the middle. Only Ananda and Kayepa stand on the left and right.
On both sides of the lotus platform, there is the Great Sun Tathagata, the Golden Ao Fu Kongsachi Tathagata, sitting in the master's position, and talking to the four sages of the ancient Buddha, Maitreya Buddha, Infinite Life Buddha, and Vajra Indestructible Buddha in the guests' position.
There were many lotus tables below where the guests were seated. Some were empty, some were seated, and they were all talking to each other. When they saw Zhou Qing coming in, they all said hello.
Zhou Qingding noticed that they were all top-notch immortals, such as the Barefoot Immortal, the Four Heavenly Masters, and the immortals on the thirty-six islands who had positions in the Heavenly Palace, but none of them were gods. Zhou Qing also knew that those gods had responsibilities in the Heavenly Palace.
I have to tap Mao every day while I am in the body. Xiu said that if I didn't receive the invitation, even if I did, I wouldn't have time to come.
Guangli Bodhisattva led Zhou Qing to sit in front of him. A little novice monk presented him with Bodhi seeds, fairy melons and fairy fruits. Zhou Qing sat down and saw the Great Sun Tathagata.
I'm very happy to come."
Zhou Qing also stood up and bowed his head: "Sakyamuni invites you to come, so the two Buddhas don't need to be polite."
On the burning lamp, the ancient Buddhas, Maitreya Buddha, Infinite Life Buddha and Vajra Indestructible Buddha also put their hands together and slightly turned towards Zhou Qing's forehead. Zhou Qing also sat down and returned the salute. Seeing the Maitreya Buddha, he still had a smile on his face, as if he was not happy.
Although Zhou Qing is generally recognized, others who know the details know that the two have a big grudge. Zhou Qing once suffered a big loss, but he still regrets that he has not recovered the situation. But now both of them have high status, deep magic power, and want to
Concerned about his master's face, he naturally couldn't do anything. Zhou Qing also smiled but didn't smile. After the two greeted each other, they didn't say a word and each did his or her own thing.
The Great Sun Tathagata was Taoist Lu Ya, and his clone was killed by Zhou Qing in the gourd with the help of the Twelve Heavenly Gods Formation. Like Maitreya Buddha, he said hello and stopped talking.
In this Lotus Assembly, the Buddha is sitting on the right and the Tao is on the left. Sakyamuni is not present, and the guests have not yet arrived. All the saints who came first have no choice but to wait.
"The little immortal has seen God Gouchen." The barefoot immortal saw that the Buddhist sect had a large number of guests. Only Zhou Qing in the Taoist sect could support the facade, but he was not able to do anything. He once suffered a small loss from the Maitreya King Buddha, and he was even more uneasy.
Well, my face was dull and my heart was a little angry. I didn't say anything when I saw Zhou Qing, so I said hello again.
"How polite the Immortal!" Zhou Qing saw that the barefoot Immortal was pleasing to the eye and did not put on airs, so he replied. Among the four great Celestial Masters, Zhang Celestial Master was once destroyed by Zhou Qing in the human world, but he had no choice but to sit silently. In addition,
Naturally, the three great heavenly masters would not talk to Zhou Qing.
"This statement about God is really too much in the human world, but there is nothing I can do about it. However, the Maitreya Buddha of the Western Heaven Bliss does not sell it, and makes you disgraced. This can be regarded as the ill will in my heart." That Tianshi still thought in his heart, he only cared about peace.
The other three masters chatted with each other and occasionally ate two Bodhi seeds.
The Barefoot Immortal took out the fire dates he brought and invited Zhou Qing to enjoy them. Zhou Qing naturally refused, so he ate only one when he saw Deva Bodhisattva leading two immortals in. One of them was Wukong. Next to him was the Immortal Three Wisps.
With a long beard, feathered clothes and starry sky, holding a fly whisk in hand, stepping on hemp shoes, and showing an immortal style, he is the origin of the earthly immortals, the founder of Hongmeng Taoism, Zhen Yuanzi.
Seeing Zhen Yuanzi coming in, the Great Sun Tathagata Tathagata Jin Ao Bu Kong Sengcheng quickly stood up and sang: "The Great Immortal is here, and I am waiting for you from afar. Please forgive me, forgive me!"
Zhen Yuanzi nodded and said: "You're welcome! You're welcome!" The ancient Buddha, Maitreya Buddha, Amitayus Buddha and Vajra Buddha all stood up and clasped their hands together and said: "I'm really pleased to see the great immortal's grace."
Zhen Yuanzi returned the courtesy, and after saying that, the Deva Bodhisattva led the two Taoists to sit on the throne. In front of Zhou Qing, he sat as the chief of the Taoist sect, with Wukong sitting below him, and Zhou Qing took the third seat.
Wukong and Zhen Yuanzi sat down. Zhou Qing first thanked Zhen Yuanzi for the gift of ginseng fruit that day, and then discussed with Wukong about the Styx Sect Ancestor.
After a while, the Xuantian God Zhenwu came in accompanied by Nagarjuna Bodhisattva and sat down. He also chatted with Zhen Yuanzi, Wukong and Zhou Qing. After a while, the Zhongji Ziwei God also came in accompanied by the Pure Altar Messenger Bodhisattva and sat down.
On the fifth day, she was still followed by San Xiangu, who was very different from everyone else.
But everyone knows that Emperor Ziwei was an anomaly among the three sects in the past. He did not have profound magic power. After becoming the emperor, he was protected by three immortal aunts and never left. This is an exception. What's more, Tathagata also invited the three immortal aunts.
.
For the wedding of Liao Xiaojin, Sanxiangu, Ziwei, and Zhenwu had all been there, so they were quite familiar with Zhou Qing. They all apologized to each other. Ziwei held the dragon and tiger Ruyi and wore imperial clothes, although her magic power was not high.
, is no different from ordinary earth immortals, but in terms of magnanimity, it surpasses Zhou Qing, Zhenwu, Wukong, and Zhen Yuanzi.
The three immortal ladies stood behind Ziwei, Yunxiao entrusted Hunyuan Jindou, and still did not go to sit on other lotus pedestals. Everyone did not care, but when they saw the Great Sun Tathagata and Ran Deng Taoist, they looked at each other angrily, as if they were on fire.
, but the Buddhist saints over there were completely unaware, turned a blind eye, and ignored it.
Zhou Qing sent a message to the three immortals: "Avoiding catastrophes, responding to catastrophes, heaven's cycle, every reincarnation, there are people who should be catastrophic. Those who were able to escape last time may not be able to escape this time. Why should the three immortals be persistent?"
At some point, if I attain Hunyuan, I will definitely come and help the three immortal girls escape from this calamity."
The golden dragon scissor was passed down from the Biyou Palace, and it was an innate spiritual treasure resting on Fenbao Rock. It was of infinite power. Zhou Qing was grateful to the three fairies for gifting her the scissors, so he offered words of comfort.
After hearing Zhou Qing's words, the three immortal girls looked back and said: "Thank you very much, Emperor, but even if the Emperor proves Hunyuan, it will be useless. My master's magical powers back then have not met a dismal end. It can be seen that
This is a calamity that cannot be compensated by human power." After saying this, he remained silent, and Zhou Qing was also speechless.
There was nothing else to do at the moment, and all the Buddhist saints invited by the Tathagata had already taken their seats. The Heavenly King Tuota came in. Since he was a disciple of Ran Deng, he sat on the right side. Nezha sat on the left, the seventh one, and the sixth one was Qingyuan Miao.
Daozhenjun Yang Jian, and the following immortals were ranked below him, and there were less than a hundred people. Jinguang Immortal, Lingya Immortal, and Qiu Shou Immortal were sitting at the bottom of the table. Their faces were extremely ugly, and they stared at the Buddhist saints who came up one after another.
"I think these three people just went to find Guanyin, Manjusri, and Puxian Bodhisattvas, but they couldn't find them. They came in at the end. What on earth is this Tathagata going to do?" Zhou Qing thought to himself.
In this pure land, the Tathagata has used great power to reverse the yin and yang. Unless the Three Pure Ones, Zhunti, Amitabha, and Nuwa, the most holy empress, no one can calculate the secrets of merit, the pure land, and the things related to the pure land.
, it was also a waste of effort. Zhou Qing tried it in Black Wind Mountain and stopped trying.
Suddenly he saw the three Bodhisattvas coming in. The Qiu Shou Immortal's eyes spurted out the true fire of Samadhi, and he was about to take action, but Jin Guangxian held it, shook his head, and endured it. His whole body was still trembling slightly. Zhou Qing sighed secretly: "
Why should I come to wade in this muddy water today if I am afraid that I will not get any good results?"
The Qingyuan Miao Dao Zhenjun Yang Jian sent a message to Zhou Qing: "Dare you ask God a word?"
"Excuse me, my true lord?" Zhou Qing saw Yang Jian's voice transmission, but he didn't know what to say, but he already understood eighty-nine points.
Yang Jian said: "God also knew that since my sixth cousin was driven down to the mortal world by the Great Heavenly Lord, she has been crying at my place every day. Because I felt sorry for my sixth cousin, I inquired a little and found out that my brother-in-law was killed by the mosquitoes sent by the Great Heavenly Lord.
, I’m afraid that my sixth cousin will be even more distressed after hearing this, and even hide it from her.”
Zhou Qing frowned, and without waiting for Yang Jian to finish speaking, he asked: "What exactly do you want to say, Zhenjun? Just say it straight, don't beat around the bush."
Yang Jian smiled and said: "I heard that the Great Heavenly Lord raised the sixth cousin's child with God. I wonder if it is true?"
Zhou Qingdao: "There is such a thing."
Yang Jian said: "In this case, please God be accommodating and put that child with my cousin, my sixth cousin so that she won't be heartbroken."
"No, no, I respect the Jade Emperor's imperial decree to raise my children. The Great Heavenly Lord once had a special decree that told me not to meet the princess. How can I disobey the decree?" Zhou Qing declined quickly.
When Yang Jian heard Zhou Qing's refusal, his face changed slightly, and he said again: "God also has a wife, why is he so unreasonable? In terms of this matter, the Great Heavenly Lord has gone too far. How can God tolerate the separation of mother and son in the world, not to mention that I don't
Either I want God to give the child to my cousin, or I can meet him once and see that the child is okay, and God will be a little accommodating, that’s it, why bother to be so cruel?”
"It's not that I can't bear the separation of their mother and daughter, but the Great Heavenly Lord has an imperial decree, and the true king is the Great Heavenly Lord's nephew. It's not difficult to go up and ask for the imperial decree." Zhou Qing declined, but in her heart she thought: "The Jade Emperor
Zhang Ziran has been keeping this matter secret from me, but Yang Jian is quite capable, how did he know about it?"
But Zhou Qing didn't know that the Eighth Prince couldn't bear his sister's crying every day, so he went up to the Queen Mother to beg her. The Queen Mother softened her heart and told her whereabouts, which put Zhou Qing in trouble.
Yang Jian's magic power was indeed powerful and he was better than his master, but his moral skills were far behind. Seeing that Zhou Qing could do something with just a raise of his hands, he pushed back against the obstacles. He was unhappy in his heart, but he couldn't do it, so he said nothing and secretly
Make up your mind.
Suddenly, Ananda and Gasyapa put their palms together and said: "Welcome to my Buddha's holy frame!" Immediately, heavenly dragons surrounded, flowers and rain were colorful, and fire clouds appeared on the head of the Great Sun Tathagata, holding a red sun, and there were three huge claws hidden in the red sun.
The appearance of the golden crow.
The Buddha's light appeared on the head of the Tathagata Buddha Ao Bu Kong, holding a golden body with twenty-four heads and eighteen arms, emitting hundreds of millions of rays of light.
The ancient Buddha on the burning lamp shouted: "Amitabha!" An acre of large and small Qingyun appeared above the head. There were five golden lamps on it. In the light of the fire, the relics were held. Next to the relics, there were twenty-four tall golden-armored gods looming.
, but it was transformed from twenty-four Dinghai Pearls.
The Buddha's light appeared on the tops of the three Buddhas, Maitreya Buddha, Amitayus Buddha, and Vajra Indestructible Buddha. In the Buddha's light, there were nine relics the size of a mouthful rising and falling. The three Buddhas were solemn and solemn, and the sound of Sanskrit chanting was even louder.
These great Buddhas manifested their magic power one after another, illuminating the entire top of the pagoda and extending it. The entire Saha Pure Land was also shrouded in the Buddha's light.
When those Zen masters, monks, Taoists, and immortals in the Pure Land saw this scene and knew that the Lotus Festival was about to begin and the Tathagata was coming, they all clasped their hands and chanted: "My Buddha is compassionate!"
Seeing the power of the Buddhist side and the Taoist side not showing any weakness, Zhen Yuanzi laughed loudly, and a yellow cloud appeared above his head. Above the yellow cloud, there was a towering tree, which was the ginseng fruit tree. A green light illuminated it.
The sky and the earth are all green, but the power of the Buddhas in the Buddhist sect is so powerful that it is difficult for one person to resist. When the green light first appeared, it made the entire Saha Pure Land green, but after that, it was suppressed by the Buddha's light.
Taoist Wukong also appeared in a golden cloud with fish scales. Above the golden cloud, there was a golden lamp. In the light of the golden lamp, there were relics. In the middle stood a violent ape holding a golden hoop. Its light connected with Zhen Yuanzi and formed a piece. Ginseng fruit
The green light of the trees was so great that it faintly occupied half of the land of Sapojing.
Emperor Zhenwu said: "Immeasurable Heavenly Lord!" Three blue lotus flowers appeared on the top, which together are the size of an acre of field. On top of the lotus flowers, there is a divine turtle and a soaring snake. The green light is faint, and they also merge into Zhenyuan.
In the purple green light.
Now when the Tathagata comes, the two saints of Buddhism and Taoism have shown their magic power. One of them congratulates the Tathagata. Although it is unintentional, they also start to fight slightly.
Zhou Qing, the Gou Chen God, naturally had to take action, and also said: "Infinite Heavenly Lord!"
Cloud light also appeared on the head, as clear as water. On the top appeared Gonggong, Zhurong, Lingshou, Jumang, Dijiang, Xuanming, Houtu, and seven incarnations. They were not in human form, but the true form of the original ancestral witch.
, the evil spirit spread across the void, Xuan Ming was very excited, and looked up to the sky with a roar, which intersected with the Buddhist chants and made a harsh and strange whistle, which seemed very uncoordinated in the entire Saha Pure Land.
In Zhou Qing's cloud light, Zufenxian's magical power suddenly turned black, and a black light rushed up from the top of the pagoda. It also intersected with Zhen Yuanzi's green light and turned into a dark green color, illuminating half of the Sapo Pure Land.
A piece of green oil.
It's just that the Buddha's light is tenacious and still occupies half of the country, unmoving, still invaded by the green light, and doesn't take a step back. The monkey on Wukong's head can't help but jump like a thunder, and Gonggong, Zhu Rong, and Xuan Ming on Zhou Qing's head also shout loudly.
The roar shook the heaven and earth, and the entire Saha Pure Land seemed to tremble.
Ziwei didn't have the magic power of these people, so she was protected by three fairy aunts, smiling and sitting still.
Yang Jian and Nezha only have Gan Wang, so how can they join in?
Suddenly there was a shout of the Buddha's name, and the sky was filled with rain of light. Sakyamuni Tathagata was seated on the lotus platform, and the heavenly dragons were chanting. The five great kings were surrounding a Buddha. This Buddha had thousands of hands on his back, and thousands of precious lights were incomparably brilliant.
It's indescribable, and they all appear above the Tathagata's head.
Everyone recognized that the Buddha above Sakyamuni Tathagata's head was his incarnation, the Many-Treasures Tathagata, and those protecting him beside him were the five great kings of light transformed by his wrath.
As soon as the Tathagata appeared, a golden light dispersed all the Buddha's light and green light. The sky of the Saha Pure Land appeared again in the sky. Everyone praised the Tathagata's great power.
"Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun, your day of death has come today!" Suddenly a loud shout was heard. It turned out to be Qiushou Immortal who suddenly took action and rushed towards Manjushri Bodhisattva.
Along with them, there are also the Golden Light Immortal attacking Guanyin Bodhisattva and the Spirit Tooth Immortal attacking Puxian Bodhisattva. The three immortals disintegrated the soul in the air, activated the essence and blood of the body, and then exploded, striking straight at them with great power.
Simply unbelievable.
Zhou Qing was startled, and then he heard the ancient Buddha on the burning lamp shouting: "Amitabha!"
