Journey to the West: Play Westward Journey at the beginning

Chapter 155 Ananda: After all, I alone resisted them all

This gossipy mood did not last long until Lu Zhu defeated Pi Shui Sword Technique with the four moves of "hiding skill in clumsiness, using obscurity to make it clear, blending clarity in turbidity, and using bending as extension", and they fought again. Zhao, when he was stabbed in the chest by the Drizzle Sword, he suddenly changed.

All the viewers could clearly see that in the last move of Lu Zhu and Xiao Yu's fight, Lu Zhu was able to kill Xiao Yu first, but he deliberately held back.

Seeing that Lu Zhu's tone was slightly trembling due to the severe injury, when he said: "The opportunity for Zen has arrived," he placed the hanging beads on his neck on the sword pierced on his chest and heart, and looked at Xiao Yu's brows. Say with emotion and compassion:

"If you can put down this sword in your hand and leave this road, I will be the last person you kill."

At that moment, all the audience felt an indescribable touch.Life is the most precious to most people.But Lu Zhu was willing to give up his life to enlighten Xiao Yu. Suddenly, when all the audience looked at Lu Zhu, they felt that Lu Zhu was somewhat similar to Tang Sanzang in "Journey to the West I". They were both the same. Great mercy.

Xiao Yu looked shocked, looking at Lu Zhu in disbelief, and pulled the sword out of Lu Zhu's chest with some confusion. The tip of the sword still brought a little bit of Lu Zhu's heart blood.

Watching the string of hanging beads being cut off by the sharp edge of the drizzle sword, the rosary beads were scattered all over the ground.

Thinking back to what Lu Zhu just said, which was quite Zen-like and Buddhist, all the audience felt an indescribable shock.It seems that I have realized something, but I can't express it.

When seeing this scene, all the movie theaters in various parts of the Tang Dynasty, including some monks in the Qimeng Liu Cinema in Chang'an, raised their hands and said softly: "Amitabha."

Buddhism had previously issued an announcement on Qimeng Social, calling on temple monks from all over the country to go to Liu Cinema to buy tickets to watch "Sword Rain", so many viewers in Liu Cinema were monks.They are more touched than the general audience and can understand more of the Zen principles contained in it.There were even hints of enlightenment flashing in the eyes of many monks, obviously taking a step further in Buddhist Zen philosophy.

At the Great Thunder Sound Temple in Lingshan, the face of the World Honored Tathagata also showed a look of satisfaction at this moment.Yes, yes, this photo is very good.

At this moment, all the audience slowly realized the charm of "Sword Rain". Its charm is not as subversive as "Westward Journey", nor is it as "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World". "It's so exciting, but it's like a cup of tea. While sipping it, you can faintly appreciate the bitter aftertaste.

And this feeling reached its peak when the drizzle brought Lu Zhu and Rama's body to Yunhe Temple and had a conversation with Master Jianchi.

In the play, Xiaoyu sits next to Master Jianchi and asks somewhat puzzledly: "Master, why did he say before he died: The opportunity for Zen has arrived?"

Master Jian Chi was lying on the rocking chair, holding the Buddha beads lightly, closing his eyes and saying gently: "Buddha enlightened the world to pay attention to chance. Once the Zen chance passes, the fate will be destroyed. But before the Zen chance arrives, even if the chance is hit, it will not hit the mark."

Outside the play, at the Great Thunder Sound Temple, the Buddha Tathagata nodded.Yes, it is indeed the case, I am indeed so particular about it!The monk acted well and spoke well. He asked Guanshiyin Bodhisattva to look for the master of Nayun Pavilion to see if he could find the monk, and then gave him an Arhat status.

In the play, Xiao Yu turns to look at Jian Chi next to her and further asks: "Then, what does it mean to be willing to be transformed into a stone bridge for 500 years, subject to wind and rain?"

Master Jianchi did not answer directly, but told an allusion: "Before becoming a monk, Ananda, a disciple of the Buddha, saw a young girl on the road and fell in love with her from then on. The Buddha asked him, how much do you like that girl? Ananda replied, I would like to Transformed into a stone bridge, it has been blown by 500 years of wind, 500 years of sun, and 500 years of rain, but I hope this girl can walk across the bridge." Outside the play, in the Daleiyin Temple, many Bodhisattvas and Arhats were focusing their attention on it. On Ananda Arhat.

Ananda Arhat looked at everyone's eyes, especially when even the World Honored Tathagata had their eyes on him. He waved his hands and explained: "I'm not, I didn't, he's talking nonsense!"

"No, you have!"

The World Honored Tathagata looked at Ananda Arhat seriously.

"I am the World Honored One. Before I became a monk, I once met a young girl on the road. I fell in love with her and could not let go of her, so I asked the World Honored One about the Dharma."

Ananda Arhat looked at the unquestionable gaze of the World Honored Tathagata, and finally chose to resist everything alone, and admitted that he had indeed had such a fate before becoming a monk.

Seeing Ananda Arhat's admission, the World-Honored Tathagata couldn't help but nodded and said: "Amitabha, that's good, that's good."

In the theater, the audience watched the master in the play sitting in a rocking chair, looking sideways at Xiao Yu beside him, and said with a touch of Zen and compassion: "Then he is very good to you."

Those short seven words struck the hearts of the audience like a thunderbolt.When the audience heard it, they even felt a little sour and wanted to cry.At this moment, a compassionate and warm virtual image of Buddha suddenly appeared in everyone's hearts, as if the old man in the play was a true Buddha who saved people in the world of mortals!
In the Great Thunder Sound Temple in Lingshan, the World-Honored Tathagata was also looking at the master of illusion in the play at this moment, thinking that if he could withstand it, it would not be a bad idea to turn around and try to elevate him to the status of Bodhisattva.

In the play, Master Jianchi looked at Xiaoyu and said gently: "Go on and have a good time. When your heart is not at rest, come here."

Xiaoyu looked at Master Jianchi and asked with some hesitation and helplessness: "Master, please tell me that I still have this blessing; please tell me, can I start my life over again?"

Master Jianchi looked at Xiaoyu, who was like a confused child at the moment, and said, "Go! The dead open their eyes for the living! The past heart cannot be grasped, the present heart cannot be grasped, and the future mind cannot be grasped! The future has become the present, It’s a thing of the past now, just go with your heart and see if you can get anything.”

After a long time, "Sword Rain" finally ended.

The audience in the theater was in a trance when they left.When I met my friends outside and asked how the film was, I wanted to give a review, but when the words came to my lips, I didn’t know what to say.

When my friend asked if the photo was ugly, I immediately shook my head. When my friend asked again if the photo was beautiful, I hesitated for a while and shook my head.Being asked anxiously, he just said: "You will know for yourself when you see it."

So under such a strange word-of-mouth situation, other viewers who had not seen this new movie co-produced by Buddhism and Qimeng Pavilion were very curious and flocked to the movie theaters around their cities.
