After Becoming a Taoist - Chapter 939

   Chapter 939 Another disaster

   “This trip to the West is nothing more than two kinds of hardships. One is the inner demon, which makes me feel fearful, fearful, and withdrawn.” Chen Xuanzang said.

   “The other is the external demon, which is nothing more than a means of protecting the way with thunder and lightning, the Vajra Bodhi hammering Sakyamuni, because the Buddha Sakyamuni was obstructed by the gods and demon kings.”

   “Since the poor monk has left, he has a vajra nature, and there is no transfer. He can get over this city, no matter what monsters or ghosts he is.”

  Monk Bajie also said: “Jinghe Longjun, my teacher Qinglong slaughtered you, but also reshaped your body, why complain here?”

   The white horse transformed by Jinghe Dragon Lord snorted and snorted.

   A group of people entered the country of Gaochang, only to see that the passers-by were depressed, but it was indeed a Buddhist country. There were many Buddhist caves, Buddhist temples, faint Sanskrit singing, and some monks in white robes, walking on the road.

   Those people bowed their heads and bowed when they saw it.

   When the monks in white saw a few people in Bajie and his party, they seemed extraordinary, so they took the initiative to stop them: “Where do these monks come from? I, the Lord of Gaochang, love Zhai monks to entertain guests and treat guests with courtesy.”

   “We are monks from the Great Tang Dynasty in the East, wanting to go to the West to get the scriptures and passing by the treasure land of your country.”

“A monk from the Tang Dynasty?” The monks were surprised when they saw it: “I heard that the Tang Dynasty in the East has been besieged by the Turks, the civil war has continued, the rituals have collapsed, and the monks have lost to the A Taoist priest, but really?”

  Chen Xuanzang nodded: “This has been a few years ago. Now that the territory of the Tang Dynasty is basically peaceful, I, a Buddhist, also have a better way out.”

“Oh? Is that so?” The monk of Gaochang seemed to have a sense of superiority, and said, “I have a population of 100,000 in Gaochang, a vast territory, and several cities under its jurisdiction. disaster.”

   “Does the eminent monk think that the Tang Dynasty is better, or I, the Gaochang country?”

  Monk Bajie laughed: “When Zhang Qian opened up the Western Regions, the messenger once asked, who is the older man or Yelang, I will listen to it as a fable, and I don’t want to see the real thing today.”

  The monk Gaochang didn’t know the allusions to Yelang’s arrogance, and only thought that his home was the best, but he thought Datang was a rural place.

   Consciously wealthy.

  I originally wanted to entertain foreign monks, but now I have an inexplicable desire to compare.

  Where people can be seen, there are nameless desires.

  The monk from Gaochang led a group of people to see the officials.

   When the officials saw the monk, they were also very respectful, and they recited the compassion and Buddha’s name several times.

Seeing Bajie, Xuanzang and the others were very amazed: “Sure enough, the Buddha’s bones in the form of heaven are not like the people of small countries in the Western Regions. I recite Buddha every day, and I want to be reborn in the next world. Seeing the eminent monks of the Tang Dynasty today, please also bless the top.”

   “But I also heard that there are many immortal mountains and blessed land in China, please give me a fairy recipe to keep health and prolong life…”

   is extremely pious, this official obviously has some knowledge, more than the previous two monks.

   It’s just that the former is arrogant and the latter is complimenting. Comparing the two is a bit ridiculous.

   The group did not feel sorry for themselves, nor happy with things. No mood swings.

  The local monk secretly compared with each other, but he was not angry, and the official was flattering and not arrogant, he just helped the official up.

   “Hurry up, please, the Buddha said that all living beings are equal, why should you worship me, why should you ask me? If you seek merit, you must prove it yourself.” Chen Xuanzang was also educated by Li Dandao before.

   It’s just that it’s not the face of the ear, but the “Mahayana Buddhist Dharma” of Li Dandao in Chang’an Zhuque Street and Qinglong Temple.

  Even the method of inner alchemy has a lot of dabbling, so Chen Xuanzang said that he went to the west to seek the true scriptures. In fact, he was just like Sakyamuni, who had an epiphany under the Bodhi tree, and he had to seek it from the heart.

   At that time, Buddha, Taoism, and Confucianism will all be digested and made into linings.

   Since then, the new Buddhism will also appear, and the new Taoism, the new Confucianism, you have me, and I have you.

   If you can’t say it, you will suddenly become a Buddha, and the three religions will be comprehensible.

  The Buddha becomes a golden immortal, and the golden immortal also becomes a sage.

   After settling in here, before resting, there were monks from other temples. Hearing that the eminent monks from the Tang Dynasty were here, they wanted to exchange and debate.

   Among these small countries, the divine power of Buddhism is higher than that of kings, and they are first-class in Buddhism. Most of them are comprehended by Theravada Buddhism, and they have rarely heard of Mahayana Buddhism, let alone Mahayana Buddhism.

   After a few debates, Bajie and Chen Xuanzang put almost all the famous monks in Gaochang to the debate.

  A large number of monks are willing to be the disciples of the two, protect the Dharma, follow the left and right, and go to the west to seek scriptures together.

  During the Tang Dynasty, there was also such a case. In many cases, thousands of monks joined voluntarily, but now, there are not a few people in a group.

   There is no need to persuade them to give up, they will give up if they try.

   It was just a group of people who also alarmed Zhen Yuanzi who was here at the Wuzhuang Temple of Longevity Mountain.

  On the edge of this country, in a large desert, there is an oasis, and on top of the oasis, there is an immortal dojo.

   Xiangguang Rui Ai, Heming Lu Xing, there are many immortal grass roots, there are also 700 fairy boys, 800 jade girls, 900 main roads, 600 Kundao, a total of 3,000 disciples.

   In this dojo, there is a different cave, and the inside is like a fairyland in a heavenly palace, with a two-person tall jade tree growing.

   Its branches are green, like jasper, and its leaves are pure gold, so it is a precious tree.

  There are many things like the umbilical cord and placenta on the treasure tree, but it is not bloody, just like a lotus pedicle, with a baby wrapped in it.

   These babies are all innate Dao bodies, perfect, complete with good fortune, not mortal roots.

   There was a middle-aged Taoist sitting under the tree, but he saw that he had a broad skeleton, a face like a baby, long beard and long beard. It was the Zhen Yuanzi.

  Zhen Yuanzi has successfully cultivated the spiritual roots of good fortune, and established a sect here, which has been cleaned up.

   Since then, the people who have made friends with the immortals of Mishima and Shizhou, even participated in the Peach Conference and presented the ginseng fruit to the Queen Mother of the West.

  Last time at the Dragon Palace Wanbao Conference, when Li Dandao held the banquet of the Eight Immortals, he also saw ginseng fruit circulating into Donghaifang City.

  Eat one of this fruit can prolong Yang’s life for 480 years.

In the    Heavenly Palace, the supply of peach peaches for the Queen Mother has already been reduced, so many gods and gods will end their longevity, and there is no way to prolong their life.

   Therefore, Zhen Yuanzi became a fragrant pastry.

  The ancients, when they were seventy years old, said longevity, which is rare in ancient times.

   Therefore, the judgment of the immortal is that there is no disease, and the life span is prolonged.

   How long does this stretch? Generally speaking, someone who can live to be over ninety years old and die without a disease is a human immortal.

   And what are the criteria for judging Dixian? In addition to the five qi and three flowers, another point is longevity.

   Exceeding the limit of a 120-year-old mortal, living to a hundred-four, one-hundred-six, two-hundred years old… These are all earth immortals…

   Earth Immortal’s lifespan also grows with practice, but there is a limit after all, just like the 500-year-old demon king and the thousand-year-old demon immortal have a great calamity…

The same is true for    Earth Immortals.

   Three disasters and eight calamities are at this time.

   Five hundred years of what kind of disaster.

   But if you eat this fruit that prolongs the yang life, you can avoid calamity and continue to live happily.

   Therefore, Zhen Yuanzi claimed to be the ancestor of the earth immortal, and he wanted to compete with the Taishang Laojun for the number of immortals and the ancestors, so as to achieve the final detachment.

After all, Lao Jun has opened up the Heavenly Immortal Dao. If more people practice the Earth Immortal Dao opened up by Zhen Yuanzi, then the Laojun Dao Lineage can be overthrown. With this method of prolonging life and avoiding calamity, a monopoly can be formed and the entire cultivation can be controlled. boundary.
