Fahai travels through Tang Sanzang

Chapter 126 Am I the Spirit Tooth Elephant Buddha?

"You demon gods used to seem to have great supernatural powers, but in fact, you inevitably ignored many human principles." Fahai said to several people: "The king of the Han Dynasty once said that the king's talisman is to listen to it; Those who believe too much."

"Although this statement is used to persuade the king, it can also be used for oneself. It is more suitable for those of us who subdue demons and eliminate demons. Is a spirit monster good or evil, whether it is evil, and how much evil it has done , whether it should be transcended or should be transformed. How to judge the various things in between?" Fa Hai looked at the crowd and said: "One is to listen to what others say, and the other is to see and judge for yourself."

"As usual, why did the teacher let you find out the details of those goblins before you fight?" Fa Hai looked at several apprentices and saw that they were all thinking, so he continued, "Is it because you are afraid that you will not be able to fight them?" ? With the power of Wukong and the bravery of Ao Lie, according to my teacher's opinion, how many spirits and monsters can stop you under the sneak attack?"

"Just like the son of the White Elephant this time, if the poor monk hadn't asked Wukong to go to the South China Sea to ask Guanyin Bodhisattva for advice, he might have been saved without a chance to defend himself." Fa Hai sighed a little, and said: "That's why I have repeatedly emphasized, as a teacher, Don’t be impulsive when encountering a situation. You have to make a decision before you act. Today is another lesson, so that you can remember that when you are looking for the truth of a thing, you must remember to listen to the truth, and to believe in the dark. Focus on the overall situation and remember not to be biased. Totally."

"Thank you for your teaching, Master." Several disciples thanked Master repeatedly, and they could always learn something real from Master.

The great sage is the closest to the master. Now after listening to the master's words, he leaned forward and asked with a smile: "Could it be that the master knew that the king's words were not true? That's why he asked the disciple to go to the South China Sea to find out what happened?"

"Amitabha." Fa Hai shook his head and said, "That's not the case. As a teacher, I became angry at the first moment, wishing to punish that evil Buddha in front of others on the spot. This is the fault of the poor monk, and we should take it as a warning. .”

All the disciples reflected on their master when they saw their master, so naturally they all sat upright and did not dare to speak loudly.

In fact, Fa Hai didn't say anything else. If he hadn't been different from the past at this time, although his mana power has become more profound, but his xinxing has been restrained a lot in the past, otherwise he would have captured the "Elephant Buddha" and went to Lingshan at this moment.
What kind of scene will it be then?
Sitting cross-legged on the futon, Fahai said to himself: This journey to the west is indeed a test every step of the way.

Cultivation is to cultivate the mind, to control the law with the mind, to discuss the Buddha and the way, to understand the mind and see the nature.

Otherwise, Kong has powerful magic power, but cannot control it due to lack of character, which is tantamount to falling into the magic way.

Fahai has already been enchanted once, and he knows what it feels like.Although looking back today, that feeling is still very tempting, but he was able to face this temptation directly without taking another step forward.

This is the meaning of practice.

It is often said in the practice circle that the immortal Buddha cuts off the seven emotions and six desires, can ignore the temptations of the world, and directly explore the essence.

Fa Hai now feels that it is too exaggerated, and it is not as pure as those demons who simply indulge their own minds.

Immortals and Buddhas are ruthless, but humans are affectionate, and humans know restraint;
Demons have limits, people have limits, and people know restraint.

It doesn't matter whether the immortal Buddha is really cut off from love or desire, or whether the demon is really lawless, but if Fahai is given a choice, he would rather be like this, sinking in the sea of ​​suffering, but always able to resist the chaos of the world of mortals. Fan monk.

Buddha of Infinite Life.

Fahai stepped out of the embassy post, stepped on the auspicious clouds and went up to the sky, and looked at the little elephant in the Baoxiang Buddhist Temple who was following the elder who was studying Buddhist scriptures with his eyes—the corner of his mouth slightly raised a little smile.

One is to laugh at the "Bao Elephant Buddhist Sutra" which is completely unintelligible, but there are things to be found; the other is to sigh, if the world's monsters are like small elephants, why doesn't he want to be a benevolent and kind-hearted Purdue Arhat.

Goku was right.

This little elephant has been locked inside the golden body since it was born, not to mention the karma of eating people. Fa Hai even felt that if he burned him with the Buddha flames of the sun, it was just to tickle him. There is no karma entangled in the body, but there are many causes and effects entangled in the body.

After all, I have received incense and prayers from the subjects of Baoxiang Kingdom for nearly 200 years, but it has never been fulfilled once.The only apparition was to ask the king for boys and girls.

"The only doubt now is why he asked for virgin boys and girls."

Fa Hai didn't think that His Majesty the King had lied, after all, the other party didn't have the ability to deceive his own eyes.

And this little elephant, I have confirmed it with my own eyes, and it is not an evil fairy.

So what is the problem?

Fahai didn't bother the little elephant to hold Buddha's feet temporarily, he went to the palace to meet the king, and said: "Tomorrow, there is no need to invite all the subjects to come for the discussion in the Baoxiang Buddhist Temple. It is only necessary for your Majesty to invite the Queen and Princess Baihua to come. "

The king nodded in agreement, and he didn't want to agree to this matter at all. If some accident happened and hurt the subjects, wouldn't it be his dereliction of duty as a king?

Day two.

The little elephant who "studied" the Buddhist scriptures all night was full of energy, and was only waiting for people to show his holiness early in the morning.

but.
The entire Baoxiang Buddhist Temple has always been deserted, except for the monks of this temple, there are no common people who come to watch the ceremony.

He pricked up his ears to listen, but he still couldn't hear anything.

"Go." The elephant said to the elder abbot: "Send someone to see what's going on!"

In fact, the monks in the temple had already noticed the strange scene outside. As soon as he spoke, some disciples from the temple reported outside, saying that the surrounding of Baoxiangguo Temple was empty, and even the soldiers who used to guard here were gone.

"Strange!" Xiaoxiang frowned and looked at the elder abbot, "What's going on here?"

The abbot and elder also looked confused, but he said in embarrassment after thinking: "Master Buddha, could it be that the king really wanted to kill him, and seeing that he couldn't trick you out of the city to go to Wanzi Mountain, he simply pretended to agree to Lord Buddha's conditions first, and paralyzed him. Lord Buddha. When Lord Buddha lost his vigilance, he secretly transferred the people away."

"Oh!" The little elephant said angrily, "How dare he?!"

As he said that, he was about to get up and go out——

The abbot subconsciously wanted to stop him, "Buddha, be careful of being tricked."

You are not a true Buddha, what's the use of being angry, why don't you go first.

The little elephant picked up the elder abbot and said: "Don't stop me, I will go to seek justice today!"

It just doesn't make sense!
There is no such thing as bullying.

"Master Sanzang, the divine monk of the Tang Dynasty, has arrived!"

At this moment, there was a high-pitched sound from outside——

Immediately afterwards, there was another cry: "Your Majesty the King and Your Majesty the Queen have arrived!"

Then I heard the hurried footsteps of monks gathering in the temple.

The little elephant was still angry, he was about to go out and ask clearly, why didn't the people come to listen to the debate on Buddhism and Dharma!
He gently sent the abbot and elder in his arms aside, and strode out of the main hall.

Here Fahai, master and apprentice, and the king's family also happened to come in and bumped into each other.

"oops!"

Suddenly there was a scream in the courtyard.

The king, queen and others have seen the appearance of Bajie and Wukong, and Princess Baihua has spent thirteen years among the monsters, but they are not surprised by the appearance of this little elephant.

The monks all knelt on the ground to greet His Majesty the King and the Queen, they were not excused, so naturally they did not dare to look up at will, so they never saw the appearance of the Great Sage, Bajie and the little elephant.

Therefore, this scream was naturally the one that came from the little elephant's mouth.

"Oops!" The little elephant was paying more attention to others, but it saw Bajie behind Fahai at a glance, and subconsciously scolded: "How dare the monster enter my Buddhist temple!"

When Bajie heard this, he was not happy, and immediately jumped out and retorted: "Where is the monster, dare to pretend to be a Buddha in a Buddhist temple to fool the people!"

A pig nose with big ears, and an elephant nose with big ears, they both have a strong appearance, if you don't take a closer look, you will know that they are somewhat similar but brothers.

slam-la-

All the monks looked up subconsciously, dodging in horror, shouting: "Disaster, disaster, the goblin is here!"

"Amitabha!"

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Fahai heard the Buddha's name and heard the monks. The panicked monks calmed down in an instant. Although there was still a little panic in their eyes, they were much calmer than before.

Seeing that the monks were at a loss, the king also changed his face. Subconsciously, he wanted to call the guards to suppress them, but before he could speak, he remembered that he had brought a few personal guards with him this time, and the Imperial Forest Army stayed on the periphery.

However, when he saw Master Sanzang at the side, he immediately became full of confidence, and Master Sanzang really stabilized the scene with just a word of Buddha's name.

Really eminent monk demeanor.

"The poor monk Tang Sanzang came from the Great Tang Dynasty in the East to the Lingshan Mountain in the West to worship Buddha and seek scriptures." Fahai walked to the front of Bajie and said to the monks and the little elephant: "This is my apprentice, not a monster. .”

The monks saw that Fa Hai was an outstanding talent, dressed in a red cassock, holding a nine-ringed tin staff in one hand, and a diamond Buddha bead in the other, with a strong charm of Buddha that had never been seen before.

Seeing him say that this pig-headed goblin is his disciple, he only feels that his Dharma is so profound that even such a goblin can subdue under his seat.

After the explanation here, they followed Master Sanzang's eyes and looked at the "Elephant Demon" together——

"I am." The first two words of the little elephant are full of confidence, but he hesitates a little at the end: "Spirit tooth elephant Buddha?"

Everyone: .
The main reason is that he himself does not know whether he counts.

Forget it, after all, he has been incensed by this name for nearly 200 years; forget it, but this is not formal, and he has not been granted the title of Lingshan Buddha.

"The king!" The little elephant changed his voice, and instead of looking at the eminent Tang monk in front of him, he asked the king instead for fear of showing timidity: "My lord has made it clear that today I will discuss Buddhism in Baoxiang Buddhist Temple and invite all the people in the city." Borrowing testimony, why do you have no faith, don't you want to deceive me?"

Hearing his questioning, the king went to see Master Sanzang.

At this time, the elder abbot also came out of the main hall. He saw that the two sides were facing each other faintly, and he also saw that there were a lot of people on the king's side. In addition to the eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty, there were also several vicious demon gods. He was afraid that the "little elephant" would suffer, so he quickly Said: "Infinite Life Buddha, the old monk of Infinite Life Buddha has seen His Majesty, and the Great Tang God Monk."

"Lao Na is the abbot and elder of the Xiangfo sect of this temple. Today, he is the special representative of Xiangfo and discusses the Dharma with the monk."
