Red Cloud: Establishing Mahayana Buddhism as a Holy Spirit

Chapter 333 Agarwood Apprenticeship to the Stone Monkey
Jinshan Temple.

"Xuanzang, Fahai."

Faming of Jinshan Temple looked at his two most outstanding disciples with a benevolent smile on his face, and Xuanzang and Fahai below respectfully put their hands together and said, "Meet Master."

Now Faming is the abbot of the Jinshan Temple, and he looked at the two of them with a smile and said: "Nowadays, it is said among the people that the king of Tang visited the eighteenth floor of hell at night and saw countless evil spirits and fierce ghosts, so he was born with this compassionate heart." , want to do good deeds. Now they have posted the imperial list to recruit monks, build the "Water and Land Conference", and save the lonely souls of the underworld."

Xuanzang was overjoyed when he heard this, he was finally coming, and now he was almost fed up with this mortal body, hurry up, not to mention becoming a Buddha in a hurry, even if you let the monkey always protect him, he I feel more at ease.

"Master, what do you mean?"

Xuanzang and Fahai seemed to have guessed something, and Faming nodded with a smile without hiding what was in his mind.

"Yes, although my Jinshan Temple is a Buddhist school, it is different from other Buddhist schools. There are generally two schools of Buddhism in the world, namely Mahayana Buddhism and Western Buddhism, but there are also very few temples that are fellow practitioners."

"Whether it is the so-called Mahayana Buddhism or Western Buddhism, they are all Buddhists. Naturally, we need to learn from them."

Looking at his two most outstanding disciples, Faming nodded in satisfaction and said, "I am afraid that this water and land conference will gather all the eminent monks from the people of Nanzhan Buzhou, and Xuanzang, you and Fa Hai will represent Jinshan Temple to the water and land meeting General Assembly."

"Fahai, you have a resolute personality. Among all the Buddhist teachings, you like Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva the most. You even said that you worshiped Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva as your teacher in a dream. Maybe this is your Buddha."

"Xuanzang, you are different from others. You have the most outstanding wisdom root in Buddhism, and you have a heart that embraces all rivers and rivers. With the two of you in Jinshan Temple, Master is at ease."

Faming spoke directly and clearly, and immediately Xuanzang and Fahai clasped their hands respectfully together and said, "Master, don't worry, this time the reputation of Jinshan Temple will definitely not fall."

Xuanzang was overjoyed, he was finally able to quickly get his bodyguard monkey to his side, so that his own safety would be guaranteed in the future, and he would no longer have to worry about the involuntary incident last time.

At the same time, Fa Hai was delighted, he knew that his chance was finally coming, and after he succeeded, he could appear in the Three Realms in a fair and honest manner in the future.

Five Fingers Mountain.

"Great Sage, Great Sage, don't you think this is right?"

Chen Xiang and Ding Xiang also found the monkey who was crushed under Wuzhi Mountain as they wished, and they were also happy to be apprentices.

Sun Wukong, who was pressed under the mountain with only his head and arms exposed, looked at the two in front of him aggrievedly, feeling a little suspicious in his heart.

"Are you really the nephew of Erlang God Yang Jian?"

Under Sun Wukong's skeptical gaze, Chen Xiang nodded awkwardly, with a little anger on his face, "Great Sage, what kind of judicial god is Yang Jian to suppress my mother?"

Seeing Chen Xiang yelling at Yang Jian, although Sun Wukong was delighted, he still glared unhappily and said, "Then you are simply an idiot! Old Sun doubts whether this nephew of yours is a relative."

After Sun Wukong's scolding, Chen Xiang was a little embarrassed while being angry, scratched his head and said: "Great Sage, what do you mean by that?"

Looking at the apprentice with elm bumps in front of him, Sun Wukong also glared with hatred for being weak and said: "Yang Jian is also a person who fights with Lao Sun after all, look at you, how long have you been here with Lao Sun, how long have you been here? Qualification."

Speaking of this, Sun Wukong looked deeply at Chen Xiang and said with an angry smile: "Although you are a hybrid of human and god, your aptitude is still much worse. I'm afraid you won't even try two tricks with Yang Jian in a few hundred years. gone."

"what!"

After hearing this, Chen Xiang was a young man at heart, and immediately stepped forward to look at his master anxiously, "Master, great sage! How long will it be in these hundreds of years!"

For Chen Xiang, a hundred years is too long, after all, he is only very old, but for a cultivator, a hundred years is just a period of time.

At this time, Sun Wukong shook his head and looked at Chen Xiang in front of him. His nature was not bad, but he was a bit sloppy and not serious in doing things. More importantly, although this human-god hybrid was good, it seemed to be a little different from Yang Jian, and he was not small.

"Look at you, every time it's almost a little bit more, you don't do things seriously, and it's just a few hundred years. Look at Yang Jian who has been practicing for thousands of years. Who is he? Yang Jian is famous in the Three Realms. A genius, and even a god of war in the heavens, what do you want to do with a little baby? Do you want to defeat Yang Jian after practicing for a few years?"

Looking at the innocent and stupid Chen Xiang, Sun Wukong couldn't help laughing mockingly, "My old grandson has cultivated for hundreds of years to be so capable, but with Yang Jian's methods like this, it's just a tie."

Thinking of Yang Jian, Sun Wukong felt aggrieved and even a little angry. Naturally, he would not say that he was almost ashamed of being suppressed and beaten by Yang Jian back then.

And the monkey's mind is also very cunning, he taught Chen Xiang, Yang Jian's nephew will be his apprentice in the future, when he takes Chen Xiang to fight Yang Jian again, this nephew beats his uncle, tsk tsk.

Thinking of this, Sun Wukong suppressed the impatience in his heart, stared at Chen Xiang in front of him and said angrily: "What are you doing still in a daze! Hurry up and practice hard, or your mother will have to suffer at the foot of Mount Hua."

"Oh."

Chen Xiang stood up again, but Sun Wukong shook his head, feeling a little suspicious in his heart, can this wild child do it?Fighting with Yang Jian?Forget it, he'll fight Yang Jian again in the future, it's enough for this wild boy to restrain Yang Jian's dog.

"Great Sage, Great Sage."

While Chen Xiang was practicing hard, a joyous laughter echoed in Wuzhi Mountain in the distance, and Ding Xiang was seen running towards here excitedly with a basket in her hand.

Sun Wukong smiled immediately after seeing this scene, "Okay, little girl Lilac, you are not bad, I will tell you how to climb the clouds after the old sun! No! The ability to ride the clouds and ride the fog."

The little girl Lilac ran over excitedly, and took out plates of delicacies and fine wines from the basket. These things, which were once disgusting to Monkey King, are now delicious after being suppressed by Wuzhishan for 500 years.

"Thank you, Great Sage."

Ding Xiang is still very simple. After hearing that Sun Wukong wanted to teach him the ability to fly clouds and fog, he was overjoyed, but Sun Wukong also burst out laughing.

This girl's aptitude is limited, Chen Xiang is a human-god mixed blood anyway, and it is not a problem to cultivate into a fairy. As for this girl, it is a bit difficult, but it is not important, what is important is that this girl can bring him some good things every day .

Monkey King teaches Chen Xiang like tea like fire, looking forward to the scene where the nephew fights against his uncle in the future, but the old man in the sky is frowning.

Staring at everything in the lower realm, he looked at Qing Niu and couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Niu'er, it seems that you need to go down and help Chen Xiang."

Looking at the golden pill that his master took out, Qing Niu was a little puzzled and said: "Master, although this Chen Xiang is a hybrid of human and god, but his heels are not high, it can't be compared with Yang Jian at all, and that lilac is nothing more than that." Is it a mortal?"

Under Qingniu's suspicious voice, Taishang Laojun is a little more humane than the former Taiqing saint, or he is closer to his heart without the identity of a saint.

I saw Taishang Laojun stroking Qingniu's head with a smile on his face, "Niuer, this aloes and cloves are very important, so nothing can happen. After you go down to the world, you will not only have a chance, but also secretly take care of these two people, so as not to worry about it." Did something happen to the two of you?"

Qingniu shook his head in confusion, but he didn't ask any more questions, just took Taishang Laojun and patted the bull's head lightly with a smile, then picked it off Qingniu's nose, and immediately took out the bull ring, at the same time Qingniu burst into green Light flickers.

Qingniu directly transformed into a strong man with a height of nine feet, a single horn on his forehead, and a dark complexion. At this time, he looked at the Taishang Laojun and said respectfully, "Master."

"Go, this time is also your chance."

Qingniu respectfully put the two golden pills into his palm, turned around and went to the lower realm.

The Taishang Laojun who was left alone was looking quietly in the direction of Wuzhi Mountain, but the smile on his face gradually disappeared, revealing a pair of cold eyes.

"The old man wants to see who is plotting in secret."

After all, the Seven Fairies obviously wanted to cause internal strife between the other sect and the Heavenly Court, and Chen Xiang's methods were obviously the same. As long as Chen Xiang is still alive, as long as Chen Xiang's use value is high, he will always show his feet.

Even if the other party really gave up this chess piece in secret, he would not suffer a loss, at least he also made it clear to the Jade Emperor Heavenly Court that someone was plotting against them.

And you can get a thug for nothing, so why not do it.

Unknowingly, Chen Xiang has been involved in many calculations, all in order to hook out the person behind it.

Just as Chen Xiang studied hard at Wuzhi Mountain and was full of ambition to defeat the god of war Yang Jian to save his mother and become a great hero, the water and land conference in Nanzhan Buzhou Datang was held as scheduled.

On this day, the city of Chang'an was crowded with people, even the king of Tang personally led all the civil and military officials to visit, all for the upcoming land and water conference.

In the selection of the water and land conference, in the end, all the monks named two masters, Fa Hai and Xuan Zang.

"Chen Yu and others, by imperial decree, two eminent monks were selected as masters Fahai and Xuanzang."

At this time, Tang Taizong raised his hand with excitement all over his face and said, "Quick pass."

Without him, the [-]th hell is too terrifying, especially for the sake of the throne, he killed his brother and seized his wife to force his father, and the Dragon King of Jinghe, now he can only rely on Buddhism to overcome his sins, so that he will not be able to escape in the future. Go to the [-]th floor of hell.

Today's human race is no longer what it used to be. After the Conferred God War, the Great Desolation was divided into four major continents, and since then the aura has decreased again. The human race, the protagonist of the world, has no glory in the past, but everyone knows that this is only temporary. of.

In a few weeks, the protagonist of the human race may be brilliant, but there will be no such situation that the luck of the king of the king is against the sky. After all, the luck of the king of the king was once the compensation of the human race.

After a while, under the attention of all the officials, two mages, Fahai and Xuanzang, who were elected by the monks in the water and land meeting, came to the hall.

I saw that Fa Hai was wearing a red cassock, and his figure was even tougher. His brows lacked the kindness and kindness of ordinary monks, and a little more fortitude. This aura gave people a sense of uprightness.

The other Master Xuanzang is wearing a pure white cassock, with a red face and white teeth. He does not have the toughness of Fahai. Instead, he has a warm and jade-like feeling, and the smile on his face is even more holy and noble. breath.

"The poor monks Fahai and Xuanzang paid a visit to the Tang king."

I saw Fahai and Xuanzang, who entered the hall, put their palms together respectfully and salute, and all the officials smiled kindly. After all, everyone knew that these two monks had real skills.

After all, this is a world of gods and demons, and it would be a lie to say that the two who can be elected as leaders by so many monks have no real skills.

Moreover, the faces of the two were even more outstanding. Tang Wang nodded with a satisfied smile after seeing the two.

"The two masters are sincerely virtuous monks with a Zen heart. I bestow on you and the other two monks on the left and right monks.

Xuanzang and Fahai nodded their thanks with a smile, and the king of Tang even nodded with a smile and waved his hands and laughed loudly: "I will give each of the two mages a cassock of five-color weaving gold and a Vairocana hat."

After Xuanzang and Fahai thanked each other with smiles on their faces, the king of Tang was so satisfied that he ordered all the monks to go to the Huasheng Temple to select an auspicious day for the Dharma performance.

Then all the monks went to Huasheng Temple, and the king of Tang gathered many monks to build a meditation bed, decorate merits and arrange music.A total of 49 monks, big and small, were selected and assigned to the upper, middle, and lower halls.In front of all the Buddhas, all the objects are in order, and the heads are in order.On the third day of September this year, a good day for the zodiac, the "Water and Land Conference" will be held on the [-]th day of July and July.

The real purpose of the king of Tang to spend so much time doing this water and land puja is not to promote Buddhism and Buddhism, nor to save all living beings in the world, but to eliminate the evils, sins, and sins he has done in the past, and to clean up Clear the ghosts in my heart.

Huasheng Temple.

After a busy day, Xuanzang was also exhausted mentally and mentally. After all, he is a mortal now, and at this time he looked at Fahai beside him with envy.

I saw that Fa Hai was still full of energy, not only was he not tired at all, but he also had an excited look on his face.

"Junior Brother Fahai, it's better if you can cultivate and have mana."

Regarding the envy of his senior brother Xuanzang, Fa Hai shook his head with a smile and said: "Senior brother is superb in Buddhism, and he can learn from the strengths of all the families, and he will surely become a family in the future."

As for Fa Hai’s claim that he adopted the strengths of the Buddhas, he agrees with this. After all, the world is so chaotic, and the Buddha has so many monk faces at once, how can he do it if he doesn’t learn from it!

But Xuanzang secretly sighed in his heart about the last words about forming a family. It seems that his junior brother has a heart for Mahayana Buddhism. After all, only Mahayana Buddhism is more lenient towards Buddhism. Open up a new Buddhist law, not like Western Buddhism, which only has one Buddhist purpose.

How to say this, there are good and bad, Western Buddhism is unified, so there will be no disputes within the school, it is more united, and Mahayana Buddhism itself is more chaotic and prone to disputes, but the same benefits are obvious, If you don't like this branch of Buddhism, you can just change it.

Missionary teaching is relatively easy to be accepted, which is the advantage of Mahayana Buddhism.

"Junior brother, you should also rest earlier, the water and land conference will last on July 49 and [-]."

Xuanzang shook his head with a chuckle and walked slowly towards the wing room. After all, it was bestowed by the king of Tang Dynasty. This wing room is not to mention luxurious, and it is an elegant house for exclusive use, which saves people from being crowded.
