Hongze Lake has always been a land of plenty. Unfortunately, since the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there have been years of war, and Zhao Tong has practiced magic skills and magic weapons here. As a result, the land thousands of miles away has been devastated. Not only is the population sparse, but also the fish and shrimps in the lake.
The demonic nature is also strong and ferocious. It is said that the deeper you go, the more the demonic energy accumulates, and there are already demons that are not afraid of swords and guns and can eat alive people.
On this day, a group of people came to the Hongze Lake, including monks and lay people. They came from nowhere. They all had an extraordinary aura. They didn't touch a blade of grass wherever they passed, and the miasma receded. It was obvious that they were cultivating.
The fishermen, who were thin and sallow and barely surviving, immediately knelt on the ground and shouted for immortals when they saw them. The group of monks immediately stopped and
One of them came out and said, "Everyone, please get up." Everyone immediately felt an invisible force lifting themselves up, and they stood there in fear. But they saw that man looking into the depths of Hongze Lake, slightly
Looking worried, he said to himself, "One thought can cause endless trouble." After saying that, he took his companions and flew forward.
At this time, an old fisherman with a wrinkled face shouted loudly, "You immortals, are you going to kill the demons in Hongze Lake?" However, he saw the group of monks flying rapidly in the air, and only faint sounds could be heard.
, "Exactly!" In the blink of an eye, he was gone.
The old fisherman also had a worried look on his face. He called to the fishermen behind him and gathered around them. They kowtowed towards the lake and murmured, "Buddha bless you! Don't be like that group of monks last time.
There is no return.”
His words were all heard by the monks flying in front. One of them said calmly, "They are just a few inexperienced demons!"
"Yao is good, don't be careless. This place was once a demonic land, and there might be a demonic formation at the bottom of the lake." The person who spoke to the fishermen earlier motioned for everyone to stop, and said while releasing his spiritual consciousness.
This group of people was none other than Wuxu and others. That night, Wuxu sacrificed the Xingyun Bamboo, but Zhu Yuanzhang did not recognize him. Wuxu knew that the person in front of him was not the real Zhu Yuanzhang. Wuxu did not want to hand over the nine-leaf green lotus lantern.
southeast
In the Buddha Kingdom, after repelling this man, he took advantage of the chaos to escape with everyone; after that, he wanted to find out the matter. But after thinking about it, he thought that this man was probably a substitute arranged by Zhu Yuanzhang, so he stopped thinking about it and went north.
This is Hongze Lake.
Wuxu used his spiritual consciousness to scan, and indeed he found only a few small fish and shrimps, which had mutated due to the influence of the accumulated evil energy in the lake. Cai Jing, who was next to him, smiled and said, "Master Wuxu didn't know something. On that day, Zhu Yuanzhang was trying to eradicate dissidents.
, ordered the monks of Jiming Temple several times
People came here to exorcise demons, but they sent monks to ambush them in the lake." Wuxu asked, "Are you the ones who sent them?" Cai Jing was shocked and said hurriedly, "One of the times, it was indeed the monks who sent Yin Shenru.
Xiu, but the villain is not among them."
"If I had you, even if I went to Lushan Mountain, we would smash you to pieces!" Zhao Qiuhe was the most unfavorable to the Yin-body Confucian cultivators like Cai Jing. If it weren't for Wuxu's plan to preserve the nine-leaf green lotus lantern, he would have agreed to take him with him.
On the way to Mount Lu, he might have already taken action. Wuxu waved his hand, "The cycle of cause and effect brings unfavorable retribution. Junior Brother Qiuhe and Junior Brother Pingshan, please get rid of the harmful monsters in this lake."
At this moment, the fish and shrimps in the lake, and even the mutated demons, were all unable to move under the pressure of Wuxu and others, as if they were nailed on the board. Zhao Qiuhe and Lu Pingshan flew up, three times and five times two,
Then they all were killed.
. But the vast siltation of demonic energy has not dissipated, filling the water and air. Wuxu then led everyone to sit cross-legged on the lake, clasped his hands and chanted sutras for three days and three nights before they had a rest. On Hongze Lake, the demons
The air dissipates, the wind becomes warm and the sun shines.
The fishermen living along the lake burned incense and praised it. Soon, they sailed into the center of the lake to catch fish and shrimp. Unexpectedly, the things in the net were all in strange colors such as dark green, bright red, and shaped like three heads and two tails.
, it was very strange and terrifying. The fishermen were frightened, and Wuxu appeared, "The evil spirit here has disappeared, the demon has been eliminated, but these fish and shrimps have been possessed by demons for no reason."
The air eroded and changed into this. "I thought for a moment and then ingested these mutated fish and shrimps into the sea sound snail. I don't know which sea sound snail is Guanyin Bodhisattva's dojo in the whirling world, with strange mountains and sea monsters, and a completely different enlightenment.
In the human world that Xu is familiar with, many species also have similar colors and shapes. These fish and shrimps that have been mutated by the evil energy are just right for where they are.
After passing Hongze Lake, Wuxu took everyone and went all the way north again. During this period, he visited Xiangguo Temple, Baima Temple, Wutai Mountain and other places, recalling the past, paying homage to the sages, practicing Zen and enlightening the Tao, hoping to find a Taoist temple where everyone can join together.
Wonderful Dharma. Previously, I realized the emptiness and dignity,
Guan Zizai turned the Lamaist mandala world into a Taoist temple, hoping to use it to practice together with others; but unexpectedly, in Fusang, Japan, he was snatched away by Wusheng (Lu Yeqing), who was transformed from the lower world of Master Padmasambhava. Now,
There are three solutions before Wuxu.
First, just like in the beginning, rebuild the mandala world, and then no longer have any respect, and observe freedom. But there is one thing, this has been done before enlightenment, and if it were to be repeated, it would be even more difficult. This
It's equivalent to falling in love with someone, going through all kinds of things, finally letting go, and then now
Now I want you to really fall in love with him (her) again, and then really forget him (her). Wuxu even doubts whether he can really cultivate the mandala world again. This is why Duoji initially
Knowing that you will be extremely disappointed after realizing the emptiness of the image and transforming into the Dharma Realm.
Second, use Haiyinluo as a ready-made dojo and participate in it with other practitioners. From a practice point of view, it is possible, but there is a problem. As long as Wuxu appears in Haiyinluo, he will automatically transform into Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.
Mutually.
The Taoist place that Wuxu envisioned was for everyone to be on the same path, without the appearance of respect, to observe freedom, and to participate in the same practice. If Wuxu transforms into the form of Guanyin Bodhisattva, he will have the appearance of respect. The first condition for his imagination is
A great disobedience.
Third, use the Nine-leaf Green Lotus Lantern as the dojo. Zhang Cuilu and others refined this object. Although some people were not here and left with Shi Hai, and Cheng Song was left in disbelief, with the combined efforts of everyone, they could completely control it.
As a dojo. But there are also
One point is that Zhang Cuilu and others died in the lamp and were reborn as spiritual bodies in the wick. To put it into detail, they are the real owners of this lamp, but Wuxu is not. If this lamp is used as a dojo,
There will inevitably be some embarrassment and inconvenience later on.
Along the way, Wuxu thought about it, but it was really difficult to decide. He consulted with everyone, and everyone had their own opinions, but he couldn't decide. As he walked and thought about it, he arrived at Dadu in the former Yuan Dynasty without realizing it. When he arrived at Dadu, Wuxu naturally led everyone first
Revisit the Tianyuan Yansheng Temple.
Emperor Yuan fled north to the desert, and Ba Siba and other Lamaist masters had gone to Lushan. At first, most of the capital was ruled by Zhao Tong's demon army for a period of time. Later, the demon army from the East China Sea invaded the mainland. With the help of everyone, Zhu Yuanzhang used the spirit of a true dragon to
Showing off his might, he repelled the demonic army in the East China Sea, and most of the cities fell immediately.
Entering the sphere of influence of Yingtian Mansion. The tens of thousands of demonic troops were defeated in that night. They rarely fled and caused harm to the countryside, but were also annihilated one after another. The Tianyuan Yansheng Temple was annihilated under these successive turmoils.
, barely preserved, but also in dilapidated condition, as if it was in its twilight years.
Wuxu and others entered the temple, but they saw that there was no complete hall. Everywhere they looked, there were traces of smoke and fire. The remains of the murals were only vaguely visible. There were a few holes in the walls, weeds were overgrown, and crows and rats were scurrying.
, like entering a deserted land.
In the Main Hall, after bowing respectfully to the incomplete and leaking statue of the Buddha, Wuxu couldn't help but sigh, "Everything in the world is impermanent, all dharmas are empty, and the spiritual mountain is only in your heart." After hearing this, everyone sighed slightly.
Wuxu said again, "The so-called Dharma Realm Taoist Hall is without exception, and it will eventually collapse." Then he stopped rebuilding the Taoist temple and participated in it with other practitioners. He only talked about the Tao, "The sages have said that you should follow the law and not others.
.The Dharma is where the Buddha is, and there is a Taoist place everywhere.”
"Master, we will follow the master to practice Buddhism." Zhang Cuilu stepped forward and said respectfully, and she, Bi Lanlan, He Xiaohua, and Jiang Dingchun bowed down to invite him.
Wuxu waved his hand and lifted the four of them up, "Rely on the Dharma and not on others. The Dharma lies with the Buddha. We are all disciples of the Buddha." He then said to Lu Pingshan and Zhao Qiuhe, "The Hualien Miaofa Sect has ceased to exist in name only. Besides, we are the disciples of the Buddha."
He is an outer disciple and has never learned the authentic spiritual methods of that sect. On that day, I had an appointment with Shi Hai at Jiming Temple and asked him to become the leader of the White Lotus Sect. I originally expected him to be an inner disciple and revitalize the world through this.
Sect."
"Senior brother! Shi Hailangzi's ambition is so great that he plotted against his fellow sect for the sake of the relic. How can a person like him accept such an important task and revitalize the sect? Senior brother, you are also a real person now. We also have that Haiyinluo, Jiu
With the Ye Qing Lotus Lantern and many other rare treasures, it is not difficult to establish a sect, and reviving the Hualien Miaofa Sect is just around the corner!" Lu Pingshan and Zhao Qiuhe looked at each other and said in unison.
Lu Pingshan and Zhao Qiuhe are still mediocre in cultivation and have no treasures at their disposal. Before Wuxu was on the road, he proposed to rebuild the Dharma Realm Dojo. The two of them had already argued that it was best to use the nine-leaf green lotus lantern as the dojo to revive the spirit.
Hualien Miaofa Sect. In this way, it was logical for the two of them to participate.
The control of the Nine-leaf Green Lotus Lantern, and based on the seniority relationship, the status is still slightly higher than Zhang Cuilu and others. Just now, Zhang Cuilu and others actually acquiesced to this proposal. After all, without Wuxu's help,
It was difficult for them to understand the mystery of the Nine-Leaf Green Lotus Lantern.
But Wuxu pondered for a moment and shook his head slightly, "I know what you are thinking, but if there is a sect, it is inevitable that there will be many fetters, even those personal dependence relationships. Previously, I looked at myself with no respect, and turned the Mandala** world into
The Taoist temple where fellow practitioners participate together is also intended to eliminate these shortcomings."
Lu Pingshan and Zhao Qiuhe couldn't help but feel cold in their hearts. Lu Pingshan was about to say something more, but Zhao Qiuhe stopped him. Wuxu clasped his palms together and chanted, "Amitabha! Hualien Miaofa Sect is a lineage that remains in the world.
It was gathered in the White Lotus Jingshe. There were monks and laymen, but they chanted the Buddha and observed the precepts, and became a monk at home. There was no distinction between master and disciple. Later, it spread to other places.
Mixed, with many variations, this is the White Lotus sect. Master and disciple are proportionate, passed down from father to son, rituals are complicated, there are many factions, and they are deeply stained by the dust. Like the Miaoming Zhenxin, seeing color is color, smelling fragrance is fragrance, and so on, the six senses are clinging,
Entering all realms in vain. Now, we must not forget our original intention, we should trace back to the origin, practice according to the Dharma, take the precepts as our teachers, practice together with fellow practitioners, and realize Bodhi together."
Bi Lanlan said, "It's good to be like this, but putting your hands together and chanting the Buddha's name is a common salute among Buddhist disciples all over the world. We, who have experienced the world of mortals, always have to make some distinctions."
He Xiaohua put her hands together, moved her ten fingers slightly, and a misty green light appeared on it, just like a nine-leaf green lotus. She smiled and said, "The White Lotus Jingshe is named after White Lotus, why don't we remember it for the time being." But he was attracted.
The nine-leaf green lotus lantern cast a ray of Buddha light.
"Wu Zunxiang, watch at ease. Junior Brother Wu Hua has such a ball of blue light on his finger. Doesn't it seem to be fetishism?" Zhao Qiuhe shook his head slightly and smiled.
Wuxufu moved his hands again, holding the lotus mudra, "I will take this seal as a mark." When everyone saw it, they all nodded and smiled. The lotus is a sacred object in Buddhism. It is said that the World Honored One was born on the lotus, observing the stars and enlightening the Dharma.
One step leads to a lotus. One of the things I rely on now is the Nine-leaf Green
Lotus Lantern, the name of Hualien Miaofa Sect also contains the character for lotus. For Wuxu, this lotus handprint is one of the seals of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, and it is also a seal that must be held when practicing the Six-Character Great Ming Mantra. Today
, everyone uses the lotus mudra as a mark, which is the most convenient.
After leaving Tianyuan Yansheng Temple, everyone was in a good mood after a big event. They all said that since they arrived in Dadu, they must visit the former Yuan Palace and take a look. However, the palace is not like Tianyuan.
Yansheng Temple is like this. It is in decline and no one is there. The king's flag changes on the city wall. The palace always has an owner. After every war,
, will be repaired as new soon. Everyone was talking and laughing, and when they walked to the palace, they saw that it was heavily guarded, the spiritual energy was stagnant, and there were many soldiers and monks guarding it. Wuxu examined it carefully and said with a smile, "It doesn't seem necessary.
We broke into the palace at night, there are no real monks here, we can go there even during the day."
Although there were no monks above real people in the palace, there were quite a few monks, and some of their auras were quite extraordinary. When Zhang Cuilu and others saw Wuxu walking forward, they also smiled and were about to fly into the nine-leaf green lotus lantern.
Go, so that you can use that invisibility
The technique was to walk in the void. But I heard Wuxu in front of me laughing and saying, "Why is it so? You just need to follow Wuxu carefully." Then he saw Wuxu forming the lotus mudra with his hands, and softly uttered the beginning of the six-character Great Ming Mantra.
Sound, "hum". Public
The people followed him, passed through the crowd, and walked to the empty forbidden area outside the palace. The soldiers from far and near turned a blind eye. At the closed main gate, the murderous soldiers were lined up on both sides, and the people rushed in quietly, as if they were there.
The heavy and solemn bronze door is like a paper painting. Just like this, the huge palace, the patrolling sergeants, the monks with deep breaths, the groveling servants and maids, and the arrogant adults are all like a dream.
Halfway through the journey, Zhang Cuilu suddenly stopped and sighed, "What's there to see? The door is empty, the palace is empty, and the people are empty. The majestic palace is empty." After saying this, she couldn't help but make lotus mudras with her hands, and closed her eyes silently.
, the figure gradually faded, and the light flowed under the feet, like a lotus growing in the lotus. Wuxu suddenly heard a "buzz" sound, and the rest of the people waited like waking up from a dream, and each formed a seal and entered meditation, practicing silently.
There is a saying in Lamaism about initiation, which is when the master uses secret rituals to bless his disciples and teach them skills. Wuxu’s move is somewhat similar, but it is not indoctrination, but sharing. There is no need for rituals, nothing mysterious, and no
It requires the title of master and disciple, and it does not require the disciple to absolutely respect the master. Of course, this requires the person concerned to have understanding. The so-called co-participation by fellow practitioners means co-participation by fellow practitioners.
While everyone was practicing their own practices, Wuxu suddenly felt a faint familiar aura coming from the depths of the palace. Previously, Wuxu had only made himself and everyone else invisible in the void. Now he couldn't help but wonder, how could there be a familiar aura here?
and
It seemed that it was left by him? Wuxu released his spiritual consciousness to explore, and saw a curled-up young man in a dark dungeon deep in the palace, with unkempt hair and a dirty face, covered with blood and restraints. That faintly familiar aura was exactly
Emit from its abdomen.
Wuxu looked at it for a moment and then recognized that this young man was Han Kuang, the son of Han Lin'er, the last king of the Dragon and Phoenix Song Dynasty in the late Yuan Dynasty. That familiar aura was exactly what he had done to resolve the demonic energy in his body on Hongze Lake.
As for the Buddhist bead he was given as a gift, the bead was currently in his belly and was being induced by the spell he had just cast.
Wuxu pondered for a moment and rescued him. When he was removing the restraints from his body and healing his wounds, Wuxu found that he not only had one of his own Buddhist beads but also a magic weapon in his body. The magic weapon looked like a handkerchief, but it was
It was neither cloth nor silk. Wuxu couldn't help but be stunned. He took it out and unfolded it slightly. The secret patterns on it were lifelike. None of the paintings resembled anything in the world. It was a demon flag embroidered by Zhao Tong, but the size was larger than the one he used.
But it's much smaller.
Wuxu woke up Han Kuang and asked carefully, only to find out that since Zhu Yuanzhang showed his dragon power and aroused the spirit of the real dragon in the world, most of the tens of thousands of demon troops were killed and injured, and Han Kuang had to lead the remaining troops to withdraw from Dadu.
Mo, and was attacked and killed by Yuanting in Mobei. After this, he was almost alone. Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill him, and Yuanting also wanted to kill him. He hid in Tibet all day long, but he didn't want to be captured in Dadu the day before yesterday.
After hearing this, Wuxu couldn't help but sigh, "You also have some cultivation, and you have my Buddhist beads and Zhao Tong's demon flag. It's hard for ordinary people to hurt you. Why don't you hide first and go to Dadu instead?"
Han Kuang replied, "Last year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Han Kuang received a message from Miss Zhao, saying that we would meet at Yueshu Pavilion in Dadu this Mid-Autumn Festival, and that he would take me to Lushan Mountain at that time. Unexpectedly, I waited all day and night at Yueshu Pavilion.
Until the night of the 16th, Miss Zhao still didn't show up, but she was discovered by Zhu Yuanzhang's thieves, who beat me one by one and captured me."
Yueshu Pavilion...Wuxu couldn't help but recall the dramatic meeting with Zhao Tong that night when he entered Dadu. "Zhao Tong, she is now in a state of disarray and cannot be revived. How could she come to take you to Mount Lu..."
..." Wuxu couldn't help but look sideways, and in the corner of Dadu, the Yueshu Pavilion was vaguely visible.
"The Buddhist beads are not very powerful, but they also have some defensive power. Zhao Tong's demon flag master attacks and kills, which is difficult for ordinary monks to deal with. There are no real monks here. Even if several of them attack you one by one, you can still protect yourself."
Wuxu asked casually while looking further away, where the clouds in the sky were changing and Lushan Mountain was no longer visible.
"Han Kuang has used the Buddhist beads given by the master and the magic flag given by Miss Zhao countless times before he turned danger into good luck and escaped death." Han Kuang lowered his head feebly, "His spirituality had been greatly damaged at the beginning of the year.
Fighting to the death, I thought I would definitely die, so I swallowed the prayer beads and the magic flag in one gulp. I didn't want them to fall into the hands of outsiders, so I thought they would be buried with me."
Wuxu smiled for a moment after hearing this. He wanted to say something, but couldn't. He looked at Han Kuang, who was still a young man, and asked, "What are your plans now?"
Han Kuang looked around. Zhang Cuilu and others were practicing. Their figures were hazy and elegant in the aura, and they couldn't help but look envious. There was a hint of cunning in his voice, "Kuan'er wants to ask the master to take Kuang'er up to Mount Lu."
, looking for Miss Zhao."
Wuxu had expected this and sighed, "I will take you up to Mount Lu later."
After everyone finished practicing, Wuxu took Han Kuang out of the palace, took Cai Jing who was staying outside, and flew straight towards Mount Lu. In an instant, when he was about to fly over the capital city, Wuxu couldn't help but stop slightly.
Looking towards the Yueshu Pavilion below, the pavilions and pavilions are no longer what they used to be.
At this time, the monks in the palace seemed to have discovered that Han Kuang had escaped, and seven or eight people flew out in groups of two, flying in all directions. One group even went straight to the Yueshu Pavilion.
"It's them!" Han Kuang said angrily, "It's these two people who captured Kuang'er and tortured him in every possible way."
Wuxu took a look and saw that it was no coincidence that they were Jin Shezi and Han Shuanghu whom he had met earlier in Handang Mountain outside Dadu City.
"It turns out that these two little demons originally helped Yuan Ting in the southern expedition. Later, when they saw that Yuan Ting was defeated, they followed the Quanzhen Sect and the gang to join the King of Wu and serve in the army. Master, wait for a moment and wait for the juniors to take over.
These two demons!" Cai Jingwei was brought into the palace by Wu Xu, and he was worried in his heart. When he saw the opportunity, he said it first.
"Go up Mount Lu!" Wuxu made lotus seals on his hands and chanted while flying quickly with everyone, "
I come from afar and traveled to most places when I was young.
At that time, General Zhao was a pearl in the ocean.
The moon is sparse and I remember my old friends, only then do I realize the suffering of reincarnation.
And take this body and go up the mountain to fight the tiger.
