Chapter 16 Buddhist Countermeasures, the reincarnation of the golden cicada

However, it is said that the Eastern Transmission of Buddhism is approaching. In view of this, the disciples of the Intercept Religion went out of the mountain one after another to stop the Eastern Transmission of Buddhism. Among them, there are also many masters, such as Lingya Fairy, Wushou Immortal, Jinguangxian, Liu Er, Luo Xuan and others are all second-generation disciples of Jiejiao. Among them, Liu Er is the quasi-saint, and the others are also the peak of Daluo Jinxian. After they came out of the mountain, they were on the westbound road, waiting for the people who took the scriptures to come.

Such a big action of the interception can naturally be hidden from the Buddhist people. After Shakyamuni Buddha learned about this, he couldn't help frowning and said secretly, "The interception has really taken action. I'm afraid it's another fierce battle!" Thinking of this, Buddha Shakyamuni couldn't help thinking of the previous confrontations with the interception, and there was a burst of sorrow in his heart. Then, Buddha Shakyamuni began to measure the strength of both sides. In the end, the conclusion reached by Shakyamuni was still very unfavorable to Buddhism.

Although Buddhism has six quasi-saints at this time, to be precise, there are seven, but the Buddha has always been only practicing and ignores foreign affairs. Therefore, Shakyamuni Buddha has not included it, so the disadvantage of Buddhism is even more obvious. After coming to a conclusion, Shakyamuni Buddha was even more worried. He knew how much expectation Amitabha and the prospective Buddha's mother had for the Eastern transmission of Buddhism. If it failed, what would he have to see the two of them?

Thinking of this, Buddha Shakyamuni was irritable in his heart and asked the crowd, "Mumbling without Amitabha, the people who intercepted the religion are so much fighting. It seems that they want me to fail to preach Buddhism. I don't know what do you think about this?" After saying that, he looked at the crowd with a sad face.

As soon as Shakyamuni Buddha finished speaking, he saw the ancient Buddha who burned the lamp and said, "There is no Amitabha Buddha. You don't have to worry. This time, the east transmission of the Dharma is determined by the three saints. Even if the interception is strong, it will not destroy this preaching. At most, it is just a mess. We only need to be careful and not afraid of intercepting the people. "

When Buddha Shakyamuni heard this, he was a little at ease. Although he had known this for a long time, he was still comforted by the ancient Buddha who burned the lamp, and immediately said, "There is no Amitabha Buddha, and the ancient Buddha of the lamp is very true."

At this time, Maitreya Buddha said, "There is no Amitabha Buddha. Although the words of the lamp-burning ancient Buddha are reasonable, what should we do if we make trouble in other places? You should know that this collection of scriptures needs to go through ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties to complete the merits and virtues. If the interception is wanton destruction and the disaster will be reduced, even if the person who takes the scriptures comes, he can only take away a few scriptures. In this way, I will still fail to teach this preaching!"

After listening to the words of Maitreya Buddha, Shakyamuni agreed with him very much, which was also what he was worried about. Now when he saw Maitreya Buddha say it, he hurriedly asked, "If there is no Amitabha Buddha, I don't know what's the plan of Maitreya?"

When Maitreya Buddha heard this, he was speechless. Although he saw through this matter, he had no way to deal with it. Seeing that Shakyamuni Buddha asked questions, he couldn't answer.

Seeing this, the ancient Buddha beside him smiled and said, "There is no Amitabha Buddha. You don't have to worry. We just need to order the Buddhas to prepare. If necessary, they will send their respective mounts and make it difficult for the person who learns the scriptures. There are more than three thousand of my Buddhist disciples, and it's ninety-eighty-one. Why can't I get it?

When Buddha Shakyamuni heard it, his eyes suddenly lit up. When other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas heard it, they also felt that the idea of burning the lamp of the ancient Buddha was very good, so they echoed one after another.

When Shakyamuni Buddha saw this, he smiled and said, "There is no Amitabha Buddha. What the lamp-burning ancient Buddha said is very good, so I will bother you to prepare for it."

Everyone hurriedly said, "There is no Amitabha Buddha. You're welcome. I'll try my best."

Shakyamuni Buddha nodded slightly, and then ordered everyone to disperse and go back to the dojo to prepare for the need from time to time.

The flowers have bloomed and fallen several times, and it has been nearly 300 years. In these years, the three worlds have been peaceful. Although the interpretation continues to send disciples to preach in the world, the effect is not satisfactory. At this time, the status of Confucianism in the world is unshakable. No matter how hard the interpretation is, it is still unable to compete with Confucianism. In the end, the interpretation almost gave up, no longer had any hope for the world, and turned to the upcoming journey to the west.

It is said that in the Great Leiyin Temple, Shakyamuni Buddha sits on the lotus platform and preaches the scriptures to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas below to preach the positive results.

After the sermon, Shakyamuni Buddha said to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas: "There is no Amitabha Buddha. I look at the four continents. All sentient beings are good and evil, and all parties are not the right. The people of Dongsheng Shenzhou respect the heavens and the earth, and their hearts are calm; although the people of the northern giant Luzhou are easy to kill, only because of their livelihood, their surname is clumsy, and there is not much to practice; the people of Xiniu Hezhou are not greedy or kill, nourishing their spirit, although they are supreme and true, everyone lives; but the people of the southern support of the continent are greedy for silver and gloating, killing more. The so-called tongue is right and wrong. The sea of evil. Now I have the Three Tibetan Sutras, which can persuade people to be good.

A group of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas listened to the words of Sakyamuni and joined hands one after another.

At this time, I only heard the servant of Shakyamuni Buddha ask, "There is no Amitabha Buddha, I don't know which three Tibetan scriptures my Buddha has?"

Buddha Shakyamuni laughed and said, "There is no Amitabha Buddha, I have a collection of "Law" and talk about the sky; "The Theory" is a collection, talk about the earth; and a collection of scriptures to treat ghosts. Sanzang has a total of nine hundred and eighty-one parts, and fifteen,174 volumes, which are the scriptures of cultivation and the door of righteousness and goodness. I want to send it to the eastern land, but the all sentient beings in the East are stupid and slander the truth of my Buddhism. I can't know the will of my Dharma. If it is rashly introduced, I'm afraid it will neglect the authenticity of my yoga, so I need to choose a good believer.

When Shakyamuni Buddha finished speaking, Maitreya Buddha came forward and asked, "There is no Amitabha Buddha, but I don't know who the Buddha wants to send. I introduced the supreme Dharma of Buddhism into the eastern land.

Shakyamuni Buddha said: "There is no Amitabha Buddha. The poor monk has a disciple who is sharp-mouthed and good at Buddhism. What's more rare is that his heart to the Buddha is as firm as a rock, and he is the right person."

Na Maitreya listened to this and then asked, "There is no Amitabha Buddha. I don't know who the disciple of the Buddha said?"

Shakyamuni Buddha replied, "There is no Amitabha Buddha, but this person is not a person, but a golden cicada who listens to the poor monks on the bodhi tree outside the hall."

Maitreya Buddha listened and was silent. In his heart, he also felt that the golden cicada was very suitable. Everyone present is a person with profound Dharma. The golden cicada has long had spiritual knowledge. In order to listen to the Buddha's Dharma, he abruptly suppressed his own strength and refused to take shape for a long time. It can be seen that the heart of the Buddha is as strong as a rock as Buddha said, and it is said to listen to the Buddha's Dharma, and the Dharma is naturally proficient. I also saw him shouting all the time, which was the best choice for popularizing Buddhism.

Therefore, everyone present nodded and acquiesced in the choice of Shakyamuni Buddha.

Seeing this, Shakyamuni Buddha continued to say, "Although my disciple is a suitable candidate, after his reincarnation, his spiritual wisdom will be obscured. He does not know the past life and present life. In this way, he still needs to go to guide him, teach him to go through thousands of mountains and rivers, go to our Daleiyin Temple to seek the true scriptures, pass on to the Eastern Land forever, and persuade him to change. All sentient beings. This is a great blessing. I don't know who is willing to go for a walk? After saying that, I looked down at the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, but my eyes drifted to Guanyin Bodhisattva from time to time.

When the next Guanyin Bodhisattva saw this, he was very happy. When he moved the lotus platform to the front of the Buddha, he worshipped three times and said, "There is no Amitabha Buddha. Although my disciples are not talented, they are also willing to go to the eastern land and point out the golden cicadas to get scriptures."

Many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas present were envious when they saw it, but they also knew that this matter had already been decided. Guanyin Bodhisattva was not only the quasi-holy one, but also a person valued by the two masters. Therefore, although everyone was reluctant to give up, they did not dare to fight for this great merit with her.

Seeing this, Shakyamuni Buddha nodded slightly and said, "There is no Amitabha Buddha, and the Venerable Guanyin is powerful, and he is the right person." After saying that, he ordered A Nuo and Jia Ye to take out a collar of Jinlan cassock, a nine-ring tin stick, and Guanyin Bodhisattva, let her hand over to the person who took the scriptures, and gave her three hoops, which were gold, tight and forbidden, to subdue the powerful monsters on the way to get the scriptures.

Guanyin Bodhisattva took the Jinlan cass and the nine-ring tin staff, and worshipped Shakyamuni Buddha, "If there is no Amitabha Buddha, the disciples will go all out and not disappoint the Buddha." After saying that, he retreated.

When Shakyamuni Buddha saw the departure of Guanyin Bodhisattva, he said to the crowd, "There is no Amitabha Buddha. You brothers also go back to prepare for it. This transmission is not allowed to be lost."

Everyone hurriedly said, "There is no Amitabha, and I will obey the Buddha's decree." After saying that, they dispersed separately

However, it is said that there is a person in Haizhou, surnamed Chen Mingqi. Chen Yu should be on the yellow list to participate in the imperial examination in Beijing, but he was the first in the top three of high school. Later, he married the daughter of the current Prime Minister Yin. After that, Chen Yu was transferred to Jiangzhou Prefecture as the head of the state. Chen Yu is also a filial person. Before taking office, he went back to his hometown to pick up his mother and go to Jiangzhou with him. On the way, he saved a golden carp and released it in the river. This carp also has a great identity and is the dragon king of this sea area.

Before Chen Qi took office, his mother fell ill in bed. Seeing this situation, Chen Yu wanted to stay here to serve his mother, but the deadline for taking office had come, so he had no choice but to settle his mother here, and then he and his wife went to Jiangzhou first. Unexpectedly, on the Hong River, Chen Yu was killed by the boatman Liu Hong and Li Biao. When Liu Hong saw Miss Yin's beauty, he killed Chen Yu and occupied Miss Yin. Then Liu Hong put on Chen Yu's official uniform, took his official credentials, and went to Jiangzhou with Miss Yin to take office.

And the body of Chen Yu, who was killed by Liu Hong, sank at the bottom of the water. When I saw the Hongjiangkou Patrol Yecha, I immediately went to the Dragon Palace to report. Paohai Yecha reported to the Dragon King: "Today, I don't know who is in Hongjiangkou. He actually killed a scholar and then sank his body to the bottom of the water."

Since he was in the waters under his jurisdiction, the Dragon King asked Paumi Haiyacha to carry the corpse over. After a closer look, he was shocked and said, "This man is my benefactor. How can he be plotted to death?" The dragon king was also a person who knew how to repay his kindness. He immediately wrote an ultimatum and ordered Yecha to go to the land of Chenghuang in Hongzhou to take the soul of Chen Qi.

Unthinkingly, when Yasha came to the Hongzhou City God Land Temple, he saw that the Hongzhou City God Land was pouring tea and water below, and there were two women in plain clothes sitting on the top. The woman on the left was dressed in white, which was rare in the world. The woman on the right is dressed in blue. Although she is a woman, her face is heroic. Seeing this situation, Patrol Yacha was very puzzled. He secretly guessed that the identity of the two women made the land so respectful.

Just as the patrol of the sea, the woman on the right asked, "Is it your dragon king who wants you to come to get the soul of this scholar?" With that, the woman took out a gourd and shook it towards the night fork.

After listening to the woman's question, Pao Yecha hurriedly said, "Try back to the fairy, the little one is ordered by the Dragon King to come to take the soul of this scholar."

The woman in blue nodded and said, "I won't talk to you more, or take me to see your dragon king, and I won't talk about it in detail." After saying that, he turned to the woman in white beside him and said, "Sister, I'll go to the Dragon Palace first."

The woman in white nodded and said, "Great kindness."

Seeing this, Patrol Yecha did not dare to object, so he had to lead the two to the Crystal Palace.

In a moment, the three of them went to the Crystal Palace. When the Dragon King of Honghe saw the night fork coming back, he hurriedly asked, "Have you ever brought back my benefactor's soul?"

Xunhai Yecha shook his head and said, "In return to the Dragon King, the soul of the scholar is in the gourd in the hands of this fairy." With that, Yasha pointed to the woman in blue beside him with his hand.

After listening to Yecha's words, Honghe Dragon King looked at the two women behind Yecha and said, "Oh." Then, the Dragon King of Honghe began to raise a large number of two girls. At a glance, the Dragon King of Honghe saw that the two women in front of him were extraordinary, so he stepped forward and said politely to the two women, "The two fairies have high names. What's the point of coming to the Xiaolong Honghe Water House?"

The woman in blue said, "The poor road is Deng Chanyu, the disciple of the incompared Virgin of Lishan Mountain. This is the Xuansu fairy, the senior sister of the poor road." With that, he pointed to the Honghe Dragon King and pointed to the woman in white beside him, and then continued, "The two poor sisters also came for Chen Yu today."
