The sutra that Wuxu recited was the chapter in the Lotus Sutra of Wonderful Dharma in which the dragon girl became a Buddha in an instant.
In the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, the old Dragon King hurt Wuxu at a glance and imprisoned Wuxu's consciousness within a small area, not only to warn him of breaking the seven-star dragon barrier without authorization, but also to prevent him from leaking the "soldiers of the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea".
"To destroy Zhu Yuanzhang". Wu Xu relied on Lu Miaoying's protection to leave the Dragon Palace. Along the way, he asked Lu Miaoying several times to intervene in such shocking things, but Lu Miaoying refused because he had an appointment with the Dragon King.
In Dinghai City, Zhoushan, Lu Miaoying asked about the Nine-leaf Green Lotus Lantern. Wuxu replied that the Nine-leaf Green Lotus Lantern must be wielded by someone from the Buddhist sect. She suddenly asked with a snake caught in chopsticks. Reminiscent of Zhang Ruoyue's previous question about the woman's cultivation.
About the Buddha. How can one realize the emptiness and know the elegant meaning without listening to the string song? I will answer this chapter and sentence.
After listening to Wuxu's recitation, Lu Miaoying nodded slightly and said, "The dragon girl presented the pearls on her body to the Buddha, and the Buddha blessed and guided her, then she went to the innocent world in the south and became a Buddha. These scriptures, this palace is in the sky outside the sky.
I've heard about it a long time ago." After she finished speaking, she gently pinched two bamboo chopsticks between her fingers, and only the white strip was visible.
The snake twisted painfully in mid-air, opened its mouth and spit out a gray-white bead the size of a finger, and flew slowly towards Zhang Ruoyue next to it. Zhang Ruoyue knew what she wanted, and sacrificed the Heart of the Moon, releasing a beam of moonlight, hitting the heart.
On top of the gray-white round bead, place it on your chest and silently practice it.
The white snake between the chopsticks kept twisting, sometimes curling up into a ball, sometimes stretching straight upright. Its slender snake letter was shaking rapidly in mid-air and hissing. Its eyes showed pleading and despair.
His eyes occasionally showed a trace of madness.
Wuxu, who was sitting there silently, changed his face slightly. This white snake seemed to be at a critical moment of life and death, and its aura was very intense. Although Wuxu could not see with his eyes, and his consciousness could only sense a few steps away, he could still see more or less.
Rarely noticed, that weak and rapid hissing sound, that painful and helpless emotion, and that familiar breath... Wuxu wanted to ask, but he hesitated and pondered again and again. In the end,
I had to put my palms together and recite "Amitabha".
The gray-white round bead gradually became brighter and rounder in the bright moonlight. Finally, when Zhang Ruoyue took back the Heart of the Moon, the round bead had become a bright pearl, as if all dirt and impurities had been polished away. She closed her eyes
Concentrate, be careful
After feeling it carefully for a moment, he immediately opened his eyes and looked at Lu Miaoying nodding and smiling happily. Then, at Lu Miaoying's signal, he gently moved towards the bright and round bead. At this moment, the bead, like a pearl, flew back again.
into the belly of the white snake.
"After this snake has transformed, it will enter your Buddhist door and hold the nine-leaf green lotus lantern on behalf of my disciple." Lu Miaoying held a pine bamboo chopstick in both hands. The white snake flew towards Wuxu's forehead like an arrow from its string, as fast as lightning, and disappeared in an instant.
Without a trace.
In the sea of consciousness, Wuxu looked at the dying white snake, sensed it carefully, and couldn't help but asked anxiously, "But fellow Taoist Pan Ruoxue?!" and then took it into the Dharma Realm Dojo.
In the main hall of Tianyuan Temple, the white snake looked at Wuxu weakly and resentfully. Zhang Cuilu and others who were practicing around the nine-leaf green lotus lantern stopped and looked at Wuxu one after another. Wuxu remained silent.
He just asked Zhang Cuilu and others to join forces with him to cast spells. After the white snake reincarnated into human form again,
After seeing Pan Ruoxue's body and appearance, Wuxu conveyed his spiritual consciousness to everyone with great regret, and told what he saw and heard in the East China Sea Dragon Palace and what happened outside just now. Then he clasped his hands to Pan Ruoxue and said, "Fairy Pan
, the current situation, after thinking about it, I am afraid that I will temporarily wrong you, Fairy Pan."
Pan Ruoxue respectfully replied, "The slave family has always been dedicated to the Buddha. The reason why I stayed in the human world is to accumulate merits and virtues under the orders of Master Pasipa and Yuanfa. Now, there are difficulties in the world. If the slave family can do its little bit,
It's not a pity to die. What's more, Lu Miaoying forced out the inner elixir of the slave family and used the hands of his disciple Zhang Ruoyue to impose a ban on the lunar eclipse. Life and death are only a matter of one thought." There was a hint of sadness in his words.
feeling.
"Xianzi Pan, this move has immeasurable merits. The ban on lunar eclipse will be implemented slowly in the future." Wuxu sighed with his palms clasped, and then said to Zhang Cuilu and the other six people, "Fellow Taoists, the old Dragon King Ao worshiped the little monk god
Consciousness is imprisoned, so you can only practice here for the time being. But tomorrow, East China Sea Dragon Palace
It is necessary to use all the transformed monks to annihilate Zhu Yuanzhang's troops and break up the emperor's energy that the human race has condensed between heaven and earth for hundreds of years. For the current plan, we can only temporarily deal with Lu Miaoying, the master of Tianwai Tianyue Sect.
The two disciples are cooperating. Are you willing to accept Xianzi Pan, join us as practitioners, and hold Buddhist lanterns together?"
Zhang Cuilu and others immediately said, "Master Qi, the nine-leaf green lotus lantern originally has nine numbers, but I can't wait for six people, and there are still three numbers left to wait."
Wuxu then smiled at Pan Ruoxue and said, "It seems that Fairy Pan is really destined to be my Buddha." Pan Ruoyue was surprised and happy, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Masters, the Nu family is originally a snake demon and a woman.
I don’t know how I can practice with all the masters?"
Wuxu pointed at Zhang Cuilu, who was full of treasures, and said with a smile, "Just now, the young monk recited the scripture about the dragon girl becoming a Buddha in the "Miaofa Lotus Sutra", has Fairy Pan heard it?"
Pan Ruoxue nodded.
Wu Xu then signaled Pan Ruoxue, himself, Zhang Cuilu, Cheng Song, Zhao Qiuhe, Bi Lanlan, He Xiaohua, and Jiang Dingchun to sit on the ground around the nine-leaf green lotus lantern. Above them, the incense burner smoked, the lotus bloomed, and the past, present, and future images of the World Honored One were displayed.
Compassion and solemnity. Mural on the left, view
Yin Bodhisattva is sitting on the vast expanse of blue waves, holding a pure vase of willows and sealing the supreme magic. On the right side of the mural, the World Honored One is sitting in the lonely garden of Zhi tree, sitting with all the bhikkhus and bhikkhunis. All the appearances are complete.
.There are also various kinds of sutra curtains hanging down from the top of the hall in all directions, like coverings, like clouds and canopies.
"In the Lotus Sutra of Wonderful Dharma, it was first said that the elders and venerables such as Zhi Ji and Shariputra questioned the woman's body as an illegal weapon, and then said that the dragon girl became a Buddha in an instant, and everyone was respectful and convinced. In fact, it refutes partiality and emphasizes the importance of all sentient beings.
All are equal, have Buddha nature, and can all become Buddhas. This is the fundamental meaning." Wuxu said this first.
Zhang Cuilu immediately asked, "Why did the dragon girl first transform into a man, and then take on the bodhisattva's conduct, that is, go to the Immaculate World in the south, sit on the lotus platform, and achieve perfect enlightenment?"
This question was mentioned before by Zhang Ruoyue when she was debating with Wuxu outside the gate of Tianyuan Temple. At that time, Wuxu had answered in front of Zhang Cuilu and six other people. At this moment, Zhang Cuilu clasped his hands and asked again.
Wuxu asked, "Friend Wu Lu, you are still a girl, are there any obstacles in practicing Buddhism?" Zhang Cuilu thought for a while and shook her head.
"'The dragon girl suddenly transformed into a man, performed the Bodhisattva's conduct, and went to the southern world, sat on the lotus platform, and achieved perfect enlightenment.' This is a narrative in the sutra, not a sermon. The World Honored One still has the power to enlighten according to circumstances.
Not to mention narrative?" Wuxu immediately said, "The Buddha said that all dharmas are not all dharmas, which are called all dharmas. He also said that if you know what I say, the Dharma is like a Dharma raft. The Dharma should be given up, let alone the illegal one."
Zhang Cuilu was overjoyed and said, "Wulu understands. It turns out that what the Buddha said was just a temporary expediency. But Master Wuxu, it seems that this was not what he said to Zhang Ruoyue before."
Wuxu smiled and said, "The Dharma should not be taught lightly. This kind of truth cannot be taught to outsiders." Then he said to Pan Ruoxue, "The young monk just said that the dragon girl became a Buddha, but in fact he also heard that Lu Miaoying said that there was a white snake. The so-called
Dragon and snake, this is the place where the World Honored One was born. Fairy Pan, the young monk sensed that you have the energy of Master Pasiba’s Vajra Secret Cause of Life and Death Buddha beads.
"Xi. The young monk's Dharma Realm dojo, including Tianyuan Temple, was originally the Lamaist Mandala Dharma Realm. Let the young monk first use the seal of the Dharma Protector Dragon of the Mandala Dharma Realm Vajra Monastery to initiate and bless Fairy Pan." After saying that, his hands changed.
, he made a series of hand seals in the air, and golden light flew around Pan Ruoxue like dragons and snakes. After a moment, they flew continuously into the middle area above his head.
Pan Ruoxue's hands began to change according to Wuxu's gestures, and gradually lifted off the ground into the air, reappearing the original shape of the snake's head and body, spitting out messages from the snake's mouth, and hovering and flying in the golden light. The two hands that had been changing and forming seals also
It began to become illusory, like claws but not claws, and there was also a faint golden light.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Cuilu and the other six people immediately held a mantra and formed seals, and flew into the nine-leaf green lotus lantern. The Buddhist lantern, with its brilliant brilliance, absorbed Pan Ruoxue into it.
...
"Master, is it really possible for Wuxu to transform the snake spirit into Buddhism in one day and control the nine-leaf green lotus lantern?" In the restaurant, Zhang Ruoyue looked at Wuxu who was like a piece of wood.
, asked rather suspiciously. "This is difficult to say, but easy to say." Lu Miaoying sat on the
There, the expression was indifferent, with an unfathomable meaning. Zhang Ruoyue asked again, Lu Miaoying suddenly stretched out a finger and pointed towards Wuxu, and saw Wuxu's body shook slightly, and a white shadow appeared from his forehead.
It flew out, circled in the air, and then landed on the ground, turning into a beautiful woman in plain clothes.
This beautiful woman in plain clothes lowered her head, took two steps forward, and whispered to Lu Miaoying and Zhang Ruoyue, "Slave Pan Ruoxue, please pay your respects to Fairy Lu and Fairy Ruoyue."
"No gift." Lu Miaoying said lightly, but she didn't even look at Pan Ruoxue. She just stared meaningfully at Wuxu, who looked like an expressionless man who had been blind for many years, with a faint sneer on the corner of his lips. After a moment, Fang You said
, "Your master is my disciple Zhang Ruoyue."
Pan Ruoxue was busy and turned sideways, facing Zhang Ruoyue and saluting. Zhang Ruoyue was a little at a loss and kept saying, "No need to be polite."
"Fairy Miaoyue, the young monk has fulfilled the fairy's wish." Wuxu, who had been sitting there, suddenly said.
Lu Miaoying laughed, and then she turned her gaze to Pan Ruoxue, who was standing with her head bowed. "You sacrifice the nine-leaf green lotus lantern and rush to Shangqiu immediately to tell Zhu Yuanzhang about the arrangements for tomorrow's battle at the East China Sea Dragon Palace."
Wuxu didn't expect that Lu Miaoying would have such thoughts, and immediately asked, "Fairy Miaoyue, aren't you afraid that the Nine-leaf Green Lotus Lantern will reveal its traces?" Lu Miaoying sneered, "After the Nine-leaf Green Lotus Lantern is repaired, its form and aura have changed. How can Zhu Yuanzhang recognize it?"
?”
This nine-leaf green lotus lantern was repaired by Amitabha Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva in the endless distance with the power of the Great Buddha. It has indeed changed a lot. Not only the shape and breath, but also the energy of enlightenment and annihilation of the Dharma Realm are not excluded. But enlightenment
What I'm worried about is not what I just said. The Nine-Leaf Green Lotus Lantern is owned by Zhang Cuilu, Cheng Song, Zhao Qiuhe, Bi Lanlan, He Xiaohua, Jiang Dingchun, and the newly added Pan Ruoxue.
Pan Ruoxue ordered Pan Ruoxue to sacrifice the nine-leaf green lotus in front of the lantern to report the news. In fact, she had the intention to verify whether she could really use this thing, and she meant to pay the money and deliver the goods. But now that Pan Ruoxue has been forbidden by the lunar eclipse, not only is she concerned about life and death,
In the hands of her and Zhang Ruoyue, even their consciousness and every move may be controlled by them. If Pan Ruoxue sacrificed the nine-leaf green lotus lantern by herself, it would be difficult to reassure Wuxu.
After hesitating for a moment, Wuxu had to give Zhang Cuilu and others a few instructions in advance, and then nodded towards Lu Miaoying and Pan Ruoxue.
...
In Shangqiu City, Zhu Yuanzhang was still giving orders in the main hall of the temporary residence.
In the sudden attack a few hours ago, no one among the civil and military ministers in the palace knew what was going on. They only knew that a war was imminent, and a demon dragon from the East China Sea came to spy, but was killed by the real dragon emperor.
The angry Zhu Yuanzhang was the first to notice that the demon dragon of the East China Sea was no match for the true dragon emperor and retreated away from it. This statement even came from the mouth of an old man in black sitting on the left side of Zhu Yuanzhang at this moment.
This old man flew into the palace with Zhu Yuanzhang after Zhu Yuanzhang ascended into the sky and the sky changed. He did not show any aura of a monk, but he was like a lonely peak with a thousand blades. Zhu Yuanzhang beside him was just like a stubborn heart.
Shi. He walked up to the throne slowly, and Zhu Yuanzhang followed suit with utmost respect. The one who never showed his face
Two Yin body Confucianism guards carried a simple Taishi chair, flew out from the darkness, bowed and placed it on the left side of Zhu Yuanzhang's throne. After the old man sat down, he disappeared. The old man signaled again.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat down, and then said that Zhu Yuanzhang was the real dragon emperor, the real emperor, and beyond the reach of the demon dragon.
Li Shanchang, Li Wenzhong, Xu Da, Hu Weiyong and others naturally sang their congratulations together.
At this time, two more old men walked into the hall, one wearing a white robe and the other wearing a purple robe. After these two people made eye contact with the old man in black robe who came first, they also said the same thing, and then sat down with Zhu Yuanzhang.
the right side of.
After a period of silence in the main hall, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly spoke. Reversing his previous hesitation, he began to issue orders quickly and forcefully.
He ordered Li Wenzhong to immediately respond to Tianfu, and together with Fu Youde and Kang Maocai who stayed behind, they would lead elite troops to attack Yangzhou Prefecture.
Order Xu Da and Feng Sheng to rush to the camp near Yuncheng, with Chang Yuchun as the vanguard, to prepare for the attack on Qufu.
Tang He was ordered to go to Suzhou immediately and attack Xuzhou.
Order Deng Yu to go to Bengbu immediately and attack Huai'an
All four directions are attacking together, and they are about to fight a decisive battle with the East China Sea Monster Clan. (For the sake of simplicity, the subsequent place names are all the place names of later generations. This will also make it easier for readers to read and understand, and there is no need for Xiaosheng to look it up and then explain it in the text.)
This issuing of orders and dispatching of troops frightened everyone. Looking at each other, it was Li Wenzhong, Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew and adopted son, who came out to report, "The King of Wu summoned us for a discussion earlier.
Tomorrow we will fight with the East China Sea Demon Clan between Shangqiu and Qufu. Why did you suddenly change your position and divide your troops into an area thousands of miles away to attack in four directions?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly, "When I was not here, you used troops everywhere, which led to today's situation. Now the war is imminent. Although it is between Shangqiu and Qufu, won't the enemy send troops from Yangzhou, Huai'an, Xuzhou and other places?
Go west?!"
"When I was not here, you and others used troops everywhere, which led to today's situation." Zhu Yuanzhang's words made some people speechless. When Lushan Prisoner's Devil Peak was opened, Zhu Yuanzhang went up to "observe" it.
,return
After that, he found that he was involved in a melee with the Tianfu army, the demon clan in the East China Sea, and Chen Youliang's Han army in the west. "Unknowingly and inexplicably" he was caught in a melee. There was smoke everywhere, and everyone was fighting, and there were countless casualties.
"What King Wu said is absolutely true!" After a moment, Li Shanchang stepped out of the queue and said with cupped hands, "But with such a move, it will become a decisive battle. Now the demon clan, based on the prosperous land in the southeast, relies on the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea and Japan Fusang as foreign aid.
, there are many monks, and the soldiers are united..."
"What the Prime Minister said is wrong!" Hu Weiyong came out and shook his head and said, "Although the East China Sea Demon Clan is powerful, it is still a demon dragon after all. Today, when it came to Shangqiu City, everyone in the world was angry, and returned without success, which shows that
The spirit of the King of Wu, the True Dragon Emperor, has been fulfilled, his destiny belongs to him, and everyone has returned to his heart. The offensive and defensive momentum is different."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Hu Weiyong is absolutely right!"
"Report to the King of Wu." Xu Da raised his hand and stepped forward, "Sooner or later, our army will have a battle with the East China Sea Monster Clan. This time, taking advantage of the battle in Shangqiu and Qufu, our army will attack from all four directions, which will definitely catch them off guard. In the worst case,
It also makes it impossible for the enemy to fully support Qufu. I think it is very wonderful."
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyes flashed towards Xu Da, and then he smiled faintly, as if there were thousands of hills and valleys in his heart. Some time ago, Zhu Yuanzhang went up to Lushan Mountain to watch the opening of the Demon Prisoner Peak, but he overheard some monks talking about,
On that day at the Qingjing Peak Fengxuanjizi Three-Qing Mighty Virtue and Dharma Protector Ceremony, Tianjizi used the so-called yin and yang eight-legged Wuji technique as a guest to deduce the general trend of the world.
, the person who expelled Hulu Kuang and restored the Han Dynasty turned out to be a man named Xu! "This Xu Da has always behaved generously, indifferently, and has nothing to ask for. Could it be that he secretly colluded with Daomen Qingjing Peak? Zhu Yuanzhang's mind turned and he looked at
At this moment, he was standing below, bowing his hands in salute, and being respectful. Xu Da, who had always actively supported his major policies, was deeply afraid of him.
But I heard Xu Da pause for a while and then say, "It's just that the Han army to the west has been watching with eager eyes and is ready to make a move. The war is about to start, so we must be on guard."
As soon as Xu Da said this, all the civil and military officials in the palace nodded in agreement. This is the way to be a minister, which not only supports the king's strategy and authority, but also makes up for gaps and leaks, and reminds and guides the king to adjust his deployment.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt an inexplicable fire in his chest. He stood up and patted the king's case, "How could I not know that the Han army is facing the west! If you take the order, I will deal with it myself!"
Zhu Yuanzhang spoke forcefully and domineeringly. Because he knew that with the old man in black robe on the left side sitting here, the western front would be as stable as Mount Tai and as impregnable as gold.
Xu Da, Li Shanchang and other important ministers felt they had nothing to say, so they each took orders and walked out of the palace.
At this time, a ray of Buddha's light flew into the hall, and Pan Ruoxue walked out, saluted to Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "I have been ordered to come here to inform the King of Wu. The old Dragon King of the East China Sea Dragon Palace has ordered that all the transformed monks from the East China Sea be sent out to participate in tomorrow's battle."
As soon as these words came out, Li Shanchang, Xu Da and others were in an uproar. They all started whispering to each other regardless of etiquette. Zhu Yuanzhang stood up in shock.
The old man in black robe, the old man in white robe, and the old man in purple robe all stood up.
As the saying goes
Wuxu was forced to go against his will, and Rujing took advantage of the situation to maneuver.
It's nothing more than information asymmetry that makes the hero bow his head.
