Descendants of Pangu in the Great Desolation

Chapter 197 Teaching Maitreya
"What, Zun Wang Buddha?" Xiao You looked at the big monk sitting in front of him in surprise, and shouted: "You...you are Maitreya Future Zun Wang Buddha in the Western Buddhist world?" Maitreya Buddha looked at with a smile He asked back: "Why, Fanjing Mountain is the only ashram of my seat in Nandanbuzhou, is it strange that my seat appears here?" Xiaoyou shook her head vigorously when she heard the words: "No...no ..." Then he bent down and knelt down to salute and said: "The younger generation, Shuyou, the water spirit of the Anning Valley, has seen Maitreya Future King Buddha. I have offended you a lot before, and I hope King Buddha will forgive me." Maitreya smiled and said: "Fanjing Mountain Get up quickly." Xiaoyou saw that I was still kneeling aside, and it was hard for her to stand up, so she just knelt there.Maitreya Buddha saw that we were still kneeling there and did not get up, so he hurriedly said: "Does it have to be me to help you both up?" I hurriedly raised my head and said: "Your junior dare not." Maitreya Buddha said: "Since If you don’t dare, stand up quickly for me!” Seeing what Qi said, I couldn’t kneel down anymore, so I had to stand up.But he didn't sit back on the futon, but stood aside.Seeing me standing up, Xiaoyou also stood up immediately, stepped back and stood beside me.

Maitreya Buddha saw that we were standing aside and did not sit down, so he said with a stern smile on his face, "What do you mean? Just now you have been kneeling there and refused to get up, and now you are standing there again and refuse to sit down." Do you want me to stand up to talk to you?" Qiao Ran, who was sitting on the side, hurriedly said to the two of us: "Sit down quickly! Master, the last thing you want to see is someone standing and talking to him. Speak, if you insist on not sitting down, Master will stand up." Although I understand that these words are well-intentioned, I feel that I am not yet qualified to sit with Maitreya Buddha, and I don't know what to do for a while. Is good.Seeing that I didn't move at all, Xiaoyou beside me stood there with me and didn't sit down.Maitreya Buddha saw that we hadn't moved for a moment, so he said: "Well, since this is the case, don't do anything special, just stand up." After speaking, he was about to stand up from the ground.Seeing this, Liao Ran hurriedly advised: "Master, please wait a moment, let the disciples persuade them first." Maitreya Buddha waved his hand and said, "Go." : "I said, why are you two so awkward. The master asked you to sit down, and you just sit down, why do you have to make the master angry." I whispered to Ming Ran: "Master Ming, we How can an ordinary person sit with Maitreya Buddha on an equal footing?" He said with a clear smile, "I said, little brother, you think too much. This is the Maitreya Hall on the golden top of Fanjing Mountain, not the Western Buddhist world. There are not so many rules, you think too much." I pursed my lips and said, "It's because I thought too much." Clearly said: "Since we are connected, you can sit down. "I nodded, followed Maitreya Buddha, went back to the original futon and sat down.Seeing me sitting down, Xiaoyou naturally had no reason to continue standing there. She picked up the squatting man who had been squatting next to us just now and went back to the futon to sit down.

Seeing us sitting down, Maitreya Buddha looked at us and said, "I know I'm sitting down, so I have to make me angry to sit down, right?" I said hastily, "It's the younger generation's lack of etiquette that offended Zunwangfo. Please forgive me." Buddha Maitreya grinned when he saw what I said, and said, "You really came from a royal family, and you will never forget the word etiquette anywhere. Well, let's not talk about this, you go back to your room first. .Although you have been illuminated by the Buddha's light and cited by the Buddhist scriptures just now, your own cultivation has improved a lot, but after all, what you have learned is Taoist exercises, which are different from my Buddhist exercises. After you go back, you must work harder. Just practice." I nodded and replied, "I've made a note of this, junior." Maitreya Buddha nodded and said, "Then you all go back first, if you have any questions, come to me at any time." I nodded, Then they got up together with Xiaoyou and bowed to Maitreya Buddha, then they left the room together.After the two of us left, we asked clearly: "Why did Master use Buddha's light and scriptures to help that young man grow his cultivation?" Maitreya Buddha sighed softly: "The three worlds will be chaotic, and I am doing this only for the sake of forming a relationship. "Knowledge whispered: "The Three Realms will be chaotic? What do you think Master said?" Maitreya Buddha said: "The number of days is yet to be determined, and everything depends on God's will. Clearly, let's go down and wait for the two of them to leave the temple. , close the gate of the temple and no longer accept foreigners. The monks in the temple are not allowed to go out if there is no important business, let alone leave the mountain at will." Surprised, he quickly replied: "I obey." Maitreya waved his hand and said: "You also leave the mountain." Let's go." Qing Ran nodded, then got up and saluted, then turned and left the room.Maitreya Buddha, who was sitting alone in the room, let out a long sigh, then closed his eyes and sat down in meditation.

Xiaoyou and I left the meditation room and walked back all the way.After returning to the room, Xiaoyou put down the scorpion in her arms and asked anxiously: "Brother Hai, has your cultivation really improved?" , According to the Buddhist scriptures, my cultivation has increased a lot, and now I have cultivated from the middle stage of the Nascent Soul to the late stage of the Nascent Soul. I believe that I will be able to break through the Nascent Soul Stage and reach the Out of Body Stage in a short time." Xiaoyou clapped her hands and praised: " That's really congratulations to you, it seems that we didn't come to Fanjing Mountain for nothing." I came to the table and sat down and said: "Xiaoyou, let's stay here for a while before leaving. They are different, but I always feel that there seems to be some connection between the two, and I want to take advantage of Maitreya Buddha in the temple to learn from him." Xiaoyou came to sit opposite me and said: "You can do whatever you want When the time comes, you can ask Maitreya Buddha for advice, and I will take you around the mountain to see if there are traces of Zhixian or Shenxian in Fanjing Mountain." I nodded and said: "That is naturally good. "

For the next month, I would go to the meditation room to look for Maitreya Buddha every morning, and ask him about the mysteries of Buddhism; He also ate a lot of wild fruits in the mountains.

"Maitreya Buddha, the two of us have been in the mountains for nearly a month, and I think it's time to leave." After asking Maitreya Buddha for advice, I proposed the idea of ​​leaving.After hearing this, Maitreya Buddha said: "Forget it. You have understood about one-third of the profound meaning of Buddhism in this month. As long as you practice more in the future, you will be able to integrate the strengths of Taoism and Buddhism, and help you increase your cultivation. In order to recognize the true fruit as soon as possible." I nodded and said: "Thanks to Maitreya Buddha for his guidance these days, this junior is very grateful, please accept this junior's obeisance." I stood up from the futon and knelt down to worship.Maitreya Buddha lifted me up with one hand and said: "You don't have to be so polite. The reason why I do this is just to have a good relationship with you." I blurted out, "Good relationship?" Maitreya Buddha said: "Okay, it's getting late, go back to your room and rest earlier." I nodded, turned and exited the room.

Not long after I left, Buddha Maitreya waved his sleeves, and a light mirror appeared in the sky. After a while, the figure of a nun appeared in the light mirror. Maitreya Buddha said to the nun in the mirror: "Mother of Buddha, Situ Hai is indeed like You said that the future is boundless. He can understand as much as one-third of my Buddhist profound meaning in just one month. I am really amazed." The nun smiled lightly: "Situ Hai is indeed quite a fairy Yuan is also familiar with Buddhism, maybe only he can resolve this calamity." Buddha Maitreya nodded meaningfully, without further words.

In the early morning of the next day, Xiaoyou and I hugged Xiaoyou, bid farewell to Maitreya Buddha and the monks in the temple, left Fanjing Mountain, and flew eastward all the way.As soon as the two left, Ming Ran ordered the gate of the mountain to be closed and refused all pilgrims and visiting friends. All the monks in the temple locked themselves in the temple and were not allowed to go out or leave the mountain easily.This decree of Maitreya Buddha made the name of Mount Fanjing disappear in Nandanbuzhou for nearly a Jiazi.It wasn't until I came to Mount Fanjing again a year later that this decree lost its effectiveness.But this is something for later, so I won't show it for the time being.

"Brother Hai, where are we going?" In mid-air, Xiaoyou danced back and forth with the six wings behind me.I thought for a while and said, "How about we go to Chuanze?" Xiaoyou asked curiously: "What are you going to do in Chuanze? Do you think of the crabs in Qingze Lake and want to have a big meal again?" Saying that, Xiaoyou's eyes became unusually bright.I slapped him on the head casually, and laughed and cursed: "Aside from eating, what else is in your head? Don't you see that it's just April, and it's not the season for catching crabs at all. How can there be any crabs for you?" You eat." Xiaoyou rubbed the painful place and said, "Since we're not going to eat crabs, what are we going to do in Chuanze?" I shook my head helplessly and said, "Do you still remember the Li family by Qingze Lake? Xiaoyou nodded and replied: "Of course I remember, didn't we just eat crabs at his house last time? We also learned from his house that there are ghost lotuses growing under Qingze Lake." I said: "Thank you!" You still remember the ghost lotus. When we left the Li family, the daughter-in-law of the Li family was just pregnant. It has been a year now, and the baby should have been born long ago. Shouldn't we visit? Xiaoyou suddenly realized: "Of course it should be. If we want to start from the beginning, we can be regarded as the benefactors of the baby in her womb. Of course we have to visit it. I just don't know if the baby will be as long as Han'er." It’s so cute.” I curled my lips and said with a smile, “Every baby is equally cute. But after you mentioned it, I miss Han’er a little. After we’ve been to Li’s house, we’ll go back to the capital.” Little You Wenyan nodded vigorously and said: "Of course it's all right. But, we didn't find Zhi and Shenxian, so we went back empty-handed like this. What about your cousin's illness?" I looked up at the white clouds in the sky, and sighed: " Everyone has their own destiny, this is not something we can control." Xiaoyou patted me on the shoulder and persuaded: "Brother Hai, lucky people have their own destiny, so don't be too sad." I nodded and looked at the scene just now. As the sun rises in the sky, there is both a trace of sadness and a little hope in my heart.
