Rebirth of the Great Desolation: I am Red Cloud

Chapter 262

But it is said that the master and apprentice of the traveler took the scriptures, followed the Vajra to ride the wind, and made a gust of fragrant wind, and within a day, the four were sent to the Eastern Tang Dynasty.In the clouds, everyone has gradually seen the scene of Chang'an.

It turns out that Emperor Taizong sent Tang Monk out of the city three days before September Wangqian in the 13th year of Zhenguan. In the 16th year, he sent officials from the Ministry of Industry to build a Wangjinglou outside Xi'an Pass to receive the scriptures. Taizong visited the place every year.It just so happened that when I came back upstairs at sunrise, I suddenly saw the sky full of auspicious mist and fragrant wind in the west, so I immediately climbed up and watched carefully.

Seeing that Chang'an had arrived, King Kong stopped in the air and shouted: "Holy Monk, this is Chang'an City. It's not easy for us to go down here. The people here are smart, and I'm afraid that my image will be leaked. Sun Dasheng and the three don't need to go, the holy monk has passed on the scriptures himself. With your lord, even if you come back, I will wait for you in Xiaohan, and go back to the west with you to pay the order."

The traveler said: "Although the words of the venerable are correct, how can my teacher choose the burden? How can I lead the horse? I have to go and give it away. Please wait in the empty space, don't dare to miss it."

King Kong said: "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva enlightened the Tathagata the day before yesterday, and it took only eight days to complete the number. Today, it has been more than four days. I am afraid that Bajie is greedy for wealth and honor, and missed the deadline."

Bajie laughed and said, "Master becomes a Buddha, and I hope to become a Buddha too. There's no reason to be covetous! You're outrageous! They're all waiting for me here. After I hand in the scriptures, I'll come and pay you back."

At present, Bajie was carrying the burden, Drifting was leading the horse, and Pilgrim was leading the holy monk, they all pressed down their cloud heads and landed beside the Wangjing Tower.

When Taizong and many officials saw the four people coming up and down from Yun Mi, they recognized Sanzang as the leader. They were overjoyed and went downstairs to greet each other, saying, "Your brother is back?"

Seeing Taizong treating him like this, Sanzang was extremely moved, and immediately fell down and bowed down. Taizong helped him up, and then he regained his emotions and said, "Who are these three?"

Sanzang had no choice but to explain that he was an apprentice he had taken on the way.

Taizong was overjoyed and ordered to accompany him: "Put my imperial chariot and horse on the back, please get on the horse with my imperial brother, and return to the court with me."

Sanzang thanked him for his kindness, and rode on his horse, followed closely by the Great Sacred Wheel and Golden Cudgel. Bajie and Sand Monk all supported the horse to carry the burden, and they drove into Chang'an together.

The three Tibetans and the four congregations entered the court with them, and no one in the city knew that it was the Buddhist scriptures.

But the monks at Hongfu Temple, where Tang Seng used to live in Chang'an, saw several pine trees with their heads facing east, and said in surprise: "It's strange! It's strange! There is no wind tonight, so how come the heads of these trees are turned around?"

An old student of Sanzang inside said: "Get your clothes quickly! The teacher who learned the scriptures is here!"

The monks asked, "How do you know this?"

The old disciple said: "When the master went away, there was a saying: 'After I go, maybe three to five years, or six or seven years, but if the pine branches are facing east, I will go back." That’s why I know it. “I rushed out in clothes, and when I arrived at West Street, someone had already spread the word: “The people who learn the scriptures have just arrived, and Grandpa Long Live has entered the city.”

When the monks heard about it, they came running in a hurry, but they met him. When they saw Dajia, they dared not approach him, and then followed him outside the gate of the court.Monk Tang got off his horse and entered the court with all the people.Tang Seng stood under the jade steps with the dragon horse and the sutra, and his companions, Ba Jie, and Drifting Monk.

Taizong sent a decree to inquire about Sanzang's journey to the west. Sanzang described it in detail, and then read Sanzang's customs clearance document.

Seeing that there are the seals of Baoxiang, Wuji, Chechi, Xiliang Nu, Jisai, Zhuzi, Lion and Camel, Bhikkhu, and Mie France on the disc; Xianjun Seal, Yuhua Prefecture Seal, Jinping Mansion Seal, etc., Taizong had a lot of emotions, and he collected them after reading them.

He had served as a driving officer for a long time, and then asked Sanzang to recite scriptures on the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

Sanzang did not refuse, he held several scrolls of scriptures and went up to the pagoda. He was about to recite satirically, when suddenly he smelled the fragrant wind, and the Eight Great Vajras appeared in mid-air and shouted: "Those who recite the scriptures, put down the scriptures and go back to the west with me. No more time is wasted."

Sanzang knew that the auspicious time had come, so if he dared to disobey it, the three of them, together with the white horse, rose from the ground and flew up to the sky, followed by the Eight Vajras, who dared to disobey.

After Taizong and many officials paid homage, he selected eminent monks to build a water and land assembly in Yanta Temple, read and recite the "Tripitaka", transcend the ghosts of the ghosts, and spread the good news. The scriptures will be transcribed and spread to the world.

But it is said that the Eight Great Vajras, driving the fragrant wind, led the three Tibetans and the four congregations, with five horses, back to the Lingshan Mountain, going back and forth, within eight days.

At this time, all the gods of Lingshan listened to the lecture in front of the Buddha.Eight Vajras led his master and disciples in, and said to the Tathagata, "My disciples have sent off the holy monks with a golden decree. They have already arrived in the Tang Dynasty and handed over the scriptures. Now I am paying the special decree."

Tathagata immediately Xuan Sanzang and others stepped forward.

The traveler, the teacher and his disciples entered the Daxiong Hall together with the white dragon horse, but they saw the Tathagata standing on the hall, and there were seven saints sitting on the hall, and the one in the middle was the Hongyun saint. Yin, Zhunti, Nuwa.

Seeing this, Xingzhe, Drifting Monk, Bajie and others hurriedly bowed down and said, "I pay my respects to the sage."

At this time, I heard the red cloud sitting in the middle say: "Get up after a while. Now that the matter of learning the scriptures is over, it is time to proclaim the title. Let's listen to Duobao proclaim the decree of the seven sages."

Duobao Tathagata stood on the hall at the moment, held a golden decree and said: "Sanzang, whose real name is Jin Chanzi, is the Pure Land of the Western Paradise. He led the saint to sit down and the second disciple. Because you don't listen to the Buddha's teachings and despise the great teaching, you are demoted. True spirit, reincarnated in the Eastern Land. Today, I am happy to take refuge, uphold blessings, take advantage of the monks, and take away the scriptures. I have achieved great results, and I have been promoted to a great position. I have been named Zhantan Gongde Buddha. Sun Wukong, because you are causing trouble in the heavenly palace, I will Very deep magic power, under the pressure of the mountain, fortunately the natural disasters are satisfied, return to Buddhism, and I like you to hide evil and promote good, on the way you have made great achievements in refining demons and subduing monsters. Defeat the Buddha. Zhu Wuneng, you were originally the God of Tianhe Water and the Marshal of the Canopy, but because you were drinking and playing with the immortals at the Pantao Festival, you were demoted to the lower realm and reincarnated like an animal. Fortunately, you remember loving the human body, in Yunzhan Cave, Fuling Mountain Committing evil, glad to return to the great teaching, entered my monk, and kept Sanzang on the way, but he was stubborn, and his lust was not lost. Because of your merits in shouldering the burden, you will be promoted to be a messenger of the altar."

Bajie didn't expect that the first two enshrined Buddhas, they were just envoys to him, he was very dissatisfied, then looked at the saints in the hall, and shouted: "They have all become Buddhas, how can I be an envoy to purify the altar?"

Tathagata said: "Because you have a strong mouth, a strong body, and a large intestine. Covering the four major continents of the world, there are many people who pay homage to my teaching. For all Buddhist things, teaching you to purify the altar is a useful grade. How bad it is!" Sha Wujing, you were originally a general of rolling curtains. First, you were demoted to the lower world because you broke the glass cup at the Peach Blossom Festival. You fell into the Liusha River, hurting living beings and eating man-made sins. Fortunately, you converted to my religion, sincerely respect blessings, and protect the holy monks. , Climbing the mountain and leading the horse is meritorious, and he will be promoted to a high position and become a golden arhat."

He also called the white horse: "You were originally the son of the Dragon King of Guangjin in the Western Seas. Because you disobeyed your father's orders and committed the crime of unfilial piety, you were fortunate enough to convert yourself to the Dharma and my monk. Every day, the family owes you to carry Sanzang to the West." , and thanks to you carrying the Bible to the east, and those who have made merit, you will be promoted to Zhengguo, and you will be the eight-part heavenly dragon and horse."

All the elders kowtowed to thank each other.Ma also thanked him for his kindness, and still ordered Jiedi to lead the horse down to the edge of Hualong Pool on the back cliff of Lingshan Mountain, and push the horse into the pool.In a short while, the horse stretched out, shed its fur, changed its head and horns, covered its body with golden scales, and grew silver whiskers under its chin. It was full of auspiciousness, with four claws of auspicious clouds, flew out of Hualong Pond, and coiled around the mountain gate. On the pillar of Qingtianhua, all the Buddhas praised the great law of the Tathagata.

At this time, the Hongyun sage in the hall said: "Wukong, but you came forward."

The walker did not dare to stay, so he stepped forward immediately.

Hongyun touched Wukong's forehead with his hand, and said with a smile: "You have been naughty and escaped all the way, without restraint, now that you have achieved real results, this golden hoop can go."

When he touched it, the golden hoop on Wukong's head shone with golden light. When Wukong stretched out his hand, it was already gone.Wukong immediately backed away happily.

Only then did Hongyun look seriously at the Buddhas in the hall, Wukong and the others, and said: "At the right time, we and the Seven Sages met to discuss the confluence of Buddhism and Taoism, and to learn scriptures from the west. After attaining Buddhahood, Mahayana Buddhism flourishes, and the three realms and six realms are in harmony. Today, we discussed with the Seven Sages and conferred four more people."

After Hong Yun finished speaking, he received the lead and said, "Jin Chanzi was conferred as the god of bringing the east to the west to transform disasters, in charge of all good and evil things from the west to the east. Sun Wukong was conferred as the Great Martial God, in charge of conquests in the three realms and six realms. Zhu Ganglie was granted the title of Chief Superintendent of the Canopy, in charge of the 200 troops in the Heavenly Court; Drifting Monk was granted the title of Great God of the Temple of Lingxiao, in charge of protecting the Palace of Lingxiao; Ao Yu was granted the title of Dragon King of the Four Seas, in charge of the affairs of the Dragon Race of the Four Seas."

After listening to the reciting and reciting, the five people who went to the West to learn the scriptures all emitted bursts of auspicious light and auspicious aura, and their appearances changed greatly, but they have already obtained the priesthood, and they have become the merits of this journey from the West to learn the scriptures.

The five sages became gods in the flesh, and the seven sages lost their divine light, and still disappeared in the hall of the Great Hero. They returned to their places, and these five people did not stay any longer. After Upasai, the gods and gods in each mountain and cave said their farewell, and all flew to their respective places of duty.

All of a sudden, on Lingjiu Mountain, colorful clouds were flying, auspicious clouds were steaming, golden dragons roared, jade tigers roared, red phoenixes danced, and there were many wonderful scenes and auspicious omens.

On the main hall, the Tathagata returned to the lotus seat, joined hands with thousands of Buddhas, and began to recite:

Nanwu Randeng Ancient Buddha.Nanwu Pharmacist Lapis Light King Buddha.

Namo Sakyamuni Buddha.Namo has no past, future and present Buddha.

Namo Pure Joyful Buddha.There is no Vairochi Buddha in the south.There is no King Buddha in the south.

Namo Maitreya Buddha.Namo Amitabha.Namo Amitayus, ..., ..., ...

All of a sudden, the sound of the Buddha sounded loud and golden, shaking the Three Realms on the Vulture Mountain. All the creatures from the three realms bowed to the ground and worshiped in this direction.

This is exactly: all the Buddhas of the ten directions and the three times, all the Bodhisattvas Mahasattva, Maha Prajna Paramita.

However, the Seven Sages showed up for a short time, and the rewards have been set, and they each returned to the Immortal Mansion. After Hongyun returned to Huoyun Island, he was anxious for all the disciples everywhere, and looked at His Highness from the main hall of Huoyun Island. Convergence, all paths return to one. The day is not far away when you become a teacher and fit into the way of heaven, and I have called you today for one thing only. As a teacher, you will open a great teaching, pass on the great law, accumulate merits, and be in harmony with the way of heaven."

All the disciples of His Highness, hearing Hong Yun's words, all showed excitement on their faces. Under the Xuanmen of Heaven and Taoism, there are three pure people's teachings, explaining teachings, intercepting teachings, and Western teachings. A big force, but no denomination, today the teacher is finally determined to teach! ! !
