Journey to the West: The poor monk Bodhidharma, the supreme Buddhist and Taoist

Chapter 261 Vigorous King Kong!

Five-color glazed pagoda.

The tower is [-] feet high, and the stars can be picked by hand.

The whole body is made of black iron from top to bottom, with a little gap in between, and a total of thirteen floors.

The majestic leans against the sky, and towers above the sky.

Empty eaves and arched buckets, leaving clouds on the top.

There are glazed lamps on the doors, and white jade railings in front of the eaves.

The interior and exterior decorations are full of jewels and luxury.

On the walls of the tower, there are reliefs and paintings, which are lifelike.

The statues in the Buddhist altars, the whale candles are always bright, and the lacquer frames look like they are like the scriptures.

There is a solemn and solemn atmosphere everywhere.

However, Bodhidharma didn't want to enjoy these things, and immediately went straight to the No.13 floor on the top of the tower in auspicious light.

The Buddha bone relic, as well as the golden Buddha brought by the monk Baiyun, were placed here.

In the original Journey to the West.

The theft of Buddhist treasures from Jinguang Temple is actually quite strange.

As we all know, Jinguang Temple enshrines relics, which are the treasures of Buddhism.

Moreover, it is still on the territory of Buddhism.

Anyone with a little brain would never dare to break ground on Tai Sui.

But here lies the problem.

The nine-headed worm seemed to have a short-circuited tendon, and it actually moved the crooked thoughts of the Buddha's relic.

He also encouraged Princess Wansheng to go to heaven to steal the nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum grass from the Queen Mother of Yaochi, and use it to nourish the relics.

All of a sudden, both Buddhism and Heaven were offended.

As a result, the monks of Jinguang Temple suffered injustice, and Jinguang Temple also cut off the incense.

The five-color glazed pagoda has been abandoned for many years and no one has cleaned it.

Until the monks and apprentices of the Tang Dynasty passed by here, they saw the monks wearing shackles and chains, begging for food along the door, and they were in dilapidated condition, so they felt that "the rabbit died and the fox was sad, and the things hurt its kind".

Because when leaving Chang'an, Tang Seng made a vow at Famen Temple. On the way west, he burned incense in temples, worshiped Buddha in temples, and swept pagodas when he saw them.

So together with Monkey King, sweep the five-color glazed pagoda at night.

As a result, Tang Seng had only swept the tenth floor, and he was so tired that he lay down on the ground. What "sweeping must be done, so I can take advantage of my wish" is just nonsense.

For the last three floors, Sun Wukong was finally allowed to do it for him.

That is at the top of the tower.

Monkey King meets two little demons, Ben Boerba and Ba Boerben...

"By the way, I didn't see these two little demons when I was in Bibotan Dragon Palace this time!"

Bodhidharma's thoughts moved slightly, "These two demons must not have cultivated Tao at this time!"

Recalling the plot in Journey to the West in his mind, Bodhidharma raised his head and looked intently.

But I saw that inch-sized relic floating in the air.

The whole body is round and crystal clear, releasing thousands of colorful clouds and flowing brilliant Buddha light, which is dazzling.

And inside the relic, there seems to be a golden Buddha sitting in lotus position.

Pointing to the sky with one hand, pointing to the ground with the other, the treasure is solemn and mysterious.

This Buddha bone relic is obviously real. At first glance, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.

But after all, I couldn't bear to observe carefully.

Soon, Bodhidharma noticed something strange in it.

"To be able to set up such a strange power in the Buddha bone relic, the origin of this person must not be simple!"

Dharma muttered to himself.

Undoubtedly, it was because of this mysterious power that came from nowhere, attached to the relic, which led to the external situation.

Bodhidharma was about to go closer and take a closer look.

With his cultivation and mana, he might be able to discern who set up the mysterious mana.

However, it is only a few steps.

Right now.

Suddenly, the golden light was like a raging flame, surging towards Da Mo.

"Ok?"

Bodhidharma stood tall and glanced at it.

But seeing that flaming golden light, a tall and burly figure manifested.

"clang!"

The sound of broken gold suddenly resounded.

Immediately afterwards, a rough shout came from the golden light: "Who broke into my five-color glazed pagoda? Do you want to covet my Buddha bone relic?"

The sound was like thunder, as if it was enough to shatter the void.

Bodhidharma raised his eyebrows slightly: "Who are you?"

"I am the Vigorous Vajra Vajra of Pilu Shamen on the Mo'er Cliff of Mount Sumeru. According to the decree of the World Honored One of the Daleiyin Temple in Lingshan, I am guarding the relics of the Buddha bones here, and no one is allowed to come near them!"

While speaking, the golden light dissipated, and indeed a vajra with angry eyes appeared.

Holding the vajra sword in his hand, with his huge body, like a solid wall, guarding in front of the relic, his pupils reflected fierce golden flames, staring closely at Bodhidharma.

Mighty and sacred, inviolable!
"Mt. Sumeru, Moer Cliff, Pilu Shamen, Vigorous Vajra?"

Bodhidharma frowned again, "It turns out that the Buddha's bone relic is guarded by a powerful Vajra... If so, why would the relic be stolen by the Nine-Headed Insect after a hundred years?"

Thoughts haven't changed yet, even if I understand.

Presumably this Vigorous Vajra guarding the Buddha's relic is just a cover for the world to see.

If Buddhism really wanted to prevent Nine-Headed Insect from stealing the relics, Nine-Headed Insect might not even be able to enter the gate of Jinguang Temple.

What's more, the Buddhist treasure has been stolen for three years, and the Buddhist sect has never intervened.

Let the monks of Jinguang Temple suffer inhuman injustice.

"If this is the case, then the calculation in this Buddhist sect is based on foresight!"

Dharma shook his head secretly.

There is a cloud in the Buddhist scriptures, all conditioned dharmas are like dreams and bubbles, like dew or lightning, you should observe it like this, and what about the empty appearance of all dharmas.

Moreover, it came from the mouth of the Tathagata World Honored One.

But it is also the Tathagata who, for the sake of spreading Buddhism to the east, has such a scheme that even Buddhist disciples in the world can be used as pawns, sacrificed and discarded at will.

It can also be called "karma retribution".

He speaks great principles in his mouth, but what he does is another way.

It's a pity that people in the world have always worshiped idols, like leeks, crop after crop.

Along the way, Bodhidharma has long been used to it.

Still the same sentence, stick to your original heart, realize Bodhi yourself, if you want to save others, you must first save yourself.

And the best way to overcome oneself is not only to comprehend the principles of the world, but also to practice hard to improve one's own strength and influence.

Think about this.

Bodhidharma was calm, and immediately took half a step forward, clasped his hands together and said, "Poor Monk Bodhidharma, I have seen the Great King Kong!"

As soon as I heard the name.

Dali King Kong hesitated for a moment, and immediately raised his eyebrows: "Are you the monk Bodhidharma?"

In fact, Bodhidharma has now attained the Bodhisattva status.

But in the view of Damo King Kong, as long as Bodhidharma has not been canonized by the World Honored One for a day, he is just an ordinary monk walking in the world, not a Buddhist Bodhisattva.

not to mention.

Bodhidharma's notoriety has already spread throughout Lingshan.

As a Buddhist disciple, he openly confronted the World Honored One.

He even questioned the unfairness of the World Honored One in front of ordinary people.

He didn't even give the face of the ancient Buddha Diengdeng.

With Vigorous King Kong's violent temper, after hearing about this, he wished he could rush to Da Mo immediately and beat him up.

Fortunately, he was persuaded by the other three Vajras, so he forced himself to give up.

Unexpectedly, Bodhidharma was standing in front of him alive at this moment.

How could King Kong be able to bear it, so naturally he didn't look good on Bodhidharma.

Confronted with the rudeness of Hercules.

Bodhidharma smiled indifferently, without any embarrassment, bowed his hands together, and said, "It's the poor monk!"

Glancing at Bodhidharma with some indifference, Damo's tone was cold: "Bodhidharma, what are you doing here? The treasured place of Buddha, how can outsiders be allowed to stay, why don't you leave quickly!"

"There is something wrong with this Buddha bone relic, so the poor monk came up to have a look!"

"What nonsense!"

Dali Vajra stared wide-eyed, and shouted angrily, "The Buddha's bone relic is transformed from the body of the World Honored One during his practice. It is so rigid and so Yang that it cannot be invaded by ten thousand dharmas. How can there be any problem!"

"Dharma, if you are still talking nonsense here, don't blame the deity for disregarding the friendship of the same family and taking you back to Lingshan for punishment!"
