Mirror of the Sky

Chapter 7: Righteousness in the fog, red lotus sitting in the fire

The Dharma King Sumeru, who created the line of 'Da Sumeru Temple', was a famous monk of great virtue in the middle and ancient times of Buddhism. inherited.

As the backbone of the younger generation of Da Xumi Temple, Shi Juewu is naturally quite valuable. The brocade bag tied around his waist is called 'mustard bag', which is based on the allusion that 'Xumi Dashan can be hidden in meson' in the Buddhist scriptures. It looks like it is only about a foot long, but it can actually hold the stuff of a whole small room.

In addition, next to the mustard bag is another white cloth pocket named 'Ren Ding Bag', which is imitated by the future Buddha, Maitreya's well-known Buddha's treasure 'Ren Pocket', which can put living things into it for years. Immortal, amazing.

At this time, since Shi Jiewu had returned to the West, the treasures left behind naturally belonged to Thirty-Three.

I saw that after he took off the mustard bag and the sack of human beings, he carefully searched and explained the body of the enlightenment. Seeing that there was nothing else, he let the body sink into the water, and climbed up to the shore naked.

After that, tying the temporarily useless human sack around his neck, Thirty-Three sat on the wet mud floor by the pool, unsealed the mustard bag, and reached in. First, he took out a bottle of medicinal herbs and jade dew. Beside him, he took out another jade box, several Buddha treasures, many gold ingots, silver nuggets and other sundries.

Looking at all the gains, he fiddled with the Buddha treasure in front of him a few times. Seeing that he couldn't use it at all with his current strength, he muttered regretfully, "Whether we can escape this barren island in the future depends on The mantle and the Buddha treasures left by the ancient great virtue." He carefully put all the treasures back into the mustard bag,

Afterwards, Thirty-Three picked up the gold and silver in his footsteps, and murmured, "According to legend, gold and silver in the world can be exchanged for all things. After escaping from the island, you must rely on them to live a good life.", The gold ingots, silver nuggets and other sundries were also returned to the mustard bag.

At this time, only the glass bottle and jade box containing medicinal pills and jade dew were left by the pool.

Thirty-three opened the box, and saw that there was a booklet made of folded silk cloth inside. He picked it up and looked at it. On the cover was written the golden characters of "The Remnants of the Eighty-Nine Xuan Gong", and he couldn't help but blurt out: "It's actually the original art. Law…"

While speaking, he opened the silk book and flipped through it from beginning to end. He found that the recorded profound arts were very miraculous. They divided the human body into eight parts: tendons, bones, skin, blood, marrow, viscera, brain, and body. Special exercises are tempered in nine levels.

Those who reach the peak have the power to drive mountains and seas physically, and the power to capture the sun and the moon.

It is a pity that the remnants of Shi Zhengwu only recorded all the exercises on the first and second layers, the third layer only recorded the tempering techniques of tendons, bones, and skins, and the fourth layer only had the method of washing the marrow. All are lacking.

Thirty-three has become more intelligent than ordinary people since he obtained the bone bowl and often visualized dragons and elephants. He wrote down all the pictures and texts of the "Eight Nine Mysterious Art Remnants" in just one pass, so I regretted it for a while. Afterwards, the volume was returned to the jade box and placed in the mustard bag.

Then he looked at a large number of glass bottles nearby, picked them up and opened them one by one. He picked out the Du'e pills, Qingdenglu, and Breguet pills that he knew, and fed the rest to Tanzhongyou. Fish, to distinguish whether it is poisonous or not, and finally put all the non-toxic medicinal herbs and jade dew back in the mustard bag, and the poisonous things are buried deep underground.

After doing all this, Thirty-Three carefully washed his body with the pool water, grabbed the mustard seed bag in one hand, and the bone bowl in the other, and said to himself, "People come and go naked, I'm naked now. Wouldn't it be more frank to pay homage to the great virtue?" According to the unspeakable guidance that had risen in his mind since he entered Shandong, he walked into a fork in the north of the lake.

In the darkness, he walked along the downward **** for a whole day. He felt a hot and humid air coming, and he couldn't help drinking a few drops of green lamp dew to quench his thirst.

Going forward again, the hot and humid air became heavier and heavier. Thirty-Three held on to his strength and tried his best to persevere. When he was about to be unable to support it, he finally saw a hazy red light floating in the distance, as if he had reached the end of the corridor.

With his last strength, he gritted his teeth soaked all over, rushed to the place where the red light emerged, actually exited the cave, and saw an unbelievably magnificent sight breaking into his eyes.

In the dense fog, a deep black stone road with a width of several feet and a length of several hundred feet is like a moat, separating a long underground river with no end in sight, and the boundless sea of ​​fire formed by the underground magma.

In the center of the stone road, on the crustal rock formation as high as thousands of feet, a deep crack reveals a ray of sky light, which is reflected on a side with a circumference of about 10 feet. It is naturally formed and looks like a blooming lotus. On the red crystal, it emits a little faint red light. .

Looking at the crystal red lotus from a distance, Thirty-Three's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help chanting a verse from the Buddha, "Yesterday I happened to witness the Bodhi fruit, today I'm sitting on a red lotus in the fire!" stone road.

On one side was the gloomy and cold river, and on the other was the sea of ​​scorching fire. He staggered forward in the mist, and it took him half an hour to finally come to the side of the red lotus. Unfortunately, he struggled to climb up the crystal. After searching for a while, he found that there were no corpses at all. , relics, monk clothes, cassocks.

If it was someone else who would be extremely disappointed at this time, but Thirty-Three was not discouraged. He frowned, sat cross-legged on the red lotus, took out the green lamp and swallowed a few drops. think about it.

As soon as he entered meditation, he suddenly felt the sound of the river flowing in his ears, the sound of the steaming sea of ​​fire, as if it had another meaning, a flash of light flashed in his heart, and Thirty-Three suddenly realized: "The ancient great virtue, seeking great freedom, often use heaven and earth as a room. , the sun and moon as lamps, mountains, lakes and seas as clothes.

Is this robe and bowl? The bowl is your own skull, and the robe is probably the sea of ​​fire, the river, the mountain wall, and other things on the ground. "

After guessing this joint, Thirty-Three breathed a long sigh of relief, rested for a while, swallowed a lot of Qi nourishing pills in one breath, then closed his eyes, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com put the bone bowl upside down on the ceiling Cover it, display the only meditation method that he knows, and wipe the lotus platform.

He cut off the distracting thoughts one by one, and gradually a murmur of chanting scriptures sounded in his ear, "The Great Buddha Shakyamuni attained the true fruition and obtained all dharmas, and cultivated the nine statues. Three days of anger Mingwang Bodhisattva... These seven figures are all human figures, and there are two other dharma figures, called the Great Power Heavenly Dragon and the Wisdom Treasure..."

The name of the chanting Buddhist scripture is "Dragon Elephant Fundamental Sutra", and if there is the word "fundamental", it must be able to prove the great righteousness, and the inheritance of the great supernatural power is undoubtedly. drunk.

I don't know how long it took, but after he wrote down all the scriptures, he instinctively opened his eyes and saw that within the mountains, among the clouds and mists, a dragon and an elephant were soaring and running, the texture of the mountain wall left and right, boundless in front of him. The boundless river and the flowing waves of the volcano have all turned into mysterious seals, falling into the eyes bit by bit.

Without thinking and ignorance, the thirty-three hands joined together, and began to imitate those dharma seals involuntarily to form mudra.

Seeing that he passed on to the Great Virtue and Dharma Tradition very smoothly, he did not expect that he had just made a few handprints. Thirty-three, who could have been considered quite fat, lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon bulged. The cheekbones are high and the cheekbones have become skinny.

This is actually not surprising. The Buddhist practice has always placed emphasis on the soul and neglected the physical body. This is especially true of the ancient traditions. Therefore, the most widely circulated verse in the world is, "The physical body is a stinky sack, and it is a raft for crossing the sea of ​​suffering".

In addition, Thirty-Three's foundation of Chan and martial arts is too shallow, and his physique is only slightly stronger than that of ordinary people. Even if he swallows medicine and replenishes Qi, it is impossible to cultivate into the profound method of "Dragon Elephant Fundamental Sutra" in one fell swoop.
