Tales of Herding Gods

Chapter 249: Pink Skull

Views:

There was silence on the golden dome, only the sound of rosary beads turning. From time to time, the Buddha's light behind the monk's head dissipated and fell from the sky.

The old Tathagata glanced around and saw the expressions of the Bodhisattvas and Venerable Arhats. Li Tianxing, the former demon leader, appeared in front of the monks with Si Youyou's beauty, which confused their minds, damaged the Buddha's heart, and distracted their thoughts. Overgrown.

Even if he displayed the Dharma just now and aroused the bodies of many Tathagatas in the Thousand Buddha Pagoda, he could only suppress it for a while.

The Buddha's light at the back of the head dissipated and fell from the air, which represented that the Buddha's heart was broken. Buddhism pays attention to spiritual cultivation. If the Buddha's heart is broken and tainted with karma, the state of mind will collapse. Those who fall are not monks, but ordinary people.

They fall from the sky, falling into the world of mortals from a high place far away from the mortal world. Some people will change their minds and return to the shore, while others will leave Daleiyin Temple and struggle in the world of mortals to seek relief. I'm afraid it's hard to get rid of the vulgar mind together.

Si Youyou's beauty caused the senior management of Daleiyin Temple to fall a lot and suffer heavy losses.

But it's no wonder Qin Mu and the others, after all, Qin Mu and others have already reminded them that it was the old Tathagata who insisted on seeing Granny Si's true face to test their Buddha's heart.

However, there are still a few people on the mountain who have a stable Buddha heart and have not wavered in the slightest. These eminent monks have attained enlightenment of a different kind, not human race. Although Granny Si is beautiful, she is not of the same race. These eminent monks can't see any beauty in her, she is just a stinky skin.

"You have not practiced enough, you are obsessed with appearances, and you have never seen the truth."

The old Tathagata looked around and pointed out to the monks: "You see her beauty, but you can't hold it back, but you don't know that the beauty you see is just what you think it is, not the real beauty. For example, Senior Brother Haikong, do you think she is beautiful?"

What he was talking about was an eminent monk who was enlightened by a different kind. The eminent monk said: "I am not of the same race as her, so I cannot feel her beauty."

The old Tathagata smiled and said: "The beauty that you can't feel if you are not in the same race is not the real beauty, but just the appearance. Beauty is the truth and the great wisdom. Master Li, the skin you are obsessed with is not real beauty. All sentient beings, your beauty only takes up one character, can you tell that it is narrow?"

All the monks felt a sense of enlightenment, and Qin Mu also felt that his words were very reasonable. He was worthy of being an old Tathagata. A person who has attained great enlightenment might really be able to subdue the inner demon of Li Tianxing.

The reason why Li Tianxing wanted to become Granny Si was because Granny Si was too beautiful, which disturbed his Dao heart, made him have evil thoughts, and wanted to become Granny Si.

Granny Si chuckled and said: "Old Tathagata, there are ten thousand ways in the world, and my Heavenly Sacred Sect occupies one character, and you occupy all ten thousand ways in Buddhism. Can you finish it? Not much to say, what ability do you have to subdue it?" I?"

The old Tathagata smiled slightly, took out a bronze mirror and handed it to the Venerable beside him, saying: "Give him this mirror."

The venerable took the bronze mirror, walked down the high altar and walked towards Granny Si, when he saw Granny Si's appearance, his heart was pounding again, he quickly closed his eyes and didn't dare to look again.

He brought the bronze mirror over, Granny Si took it in her hand, Gu Jing felt sorry for herself, giggled and said, "It's such a stunning beauty, I feel pity when I see it."

Seeing her coquetry, the monks couldn't help themselves.

The old Tathagata smiled and said, "Just turn over the mirror."

Granny Si turned over the mirror, only to see a white bone appearing in the mirror, which was vaguely her appearance after death.

"What does Master Li think?"

The old Tathagata smiled and said: "If you are a peerless beauty, the end of your life is just a handful of dry bones. Do you think dry bones are still beautiful?"

Granny Si threw the bronze mirror on the ground, crushed it with her foot, and said casually: "It's just a trick to deceive ordinary people, talking about pink and pink skulls. Tathagata, I understand the truth, I don't want to live a glorious life in the afterlife like you , My life is vigorous enough. Asking for an afterlife is just a coward's act. You can't save me with this little trick. You say that a mirror can save me. Why don't I go to your Daleiyin Temple and walk around it? Look at it You save me, or I save you, big monk and little monk. How about a bet?"

The old Tathagata frowned slightly and said, "You don't have roots of wisdom."

The blind man also murmured that something was wrong, and said, "Brother Dao, all wisdom roots are nonsense, why don't you just attack him and subdue him!"

The old Tathagata pondered for a moment, and said: "After all, Master Li used to be the leader of the Devil. I will take her into the Thousand-Buddha Pagoda to surrender. Monks, your concentration is shallow and your practice is not enough, so you will give blessings outside the Thousand-Buddha Pagoda."

All the monks said yes, they stepped down from the high altar and gathered around the Thousand Buddha Pagoda. Some monks in the Thousand Buddha Pagoda also came out in a hurry, not daring to stay in the pagoda.

The old Tathagata smiled and said: "Master Qin, you are also the leader of the devil, with deep demonic nature. Since ancient times, the Buddha and the devil have been divided into two, and the leader is a guest. If you come to ask for help, I will not surrender you. But when I surrender to the leader Li, I hope the leader can stay in the world." Daleiyin Temple, listen to the Dharma, dispel the anger in the leader's heart, and make less murders in the future."

Master Ma and the blind man's hearts are like mirrors. The old Tathagata wants to keep them in Daleiyin Temple. It would be good if they can be saved, but if they can't, then they can't leave.

Qin Mu was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Brother, good opinion! Then we will stop bothering you. I hope that senior brother will surrender the old devil, Master Li, as soon as possible. This is a great merit!"

The old Tathagata smiled slightly and ordered: "Let these benefactors stay in the temple."

A venerable said hesitantly: "World Honored One, there are many places in the temple that are holy places of my teaching. If they run into each other..."

"Let them go. There is no place where people can't see the light in Daleiyin Temple."

The old Tathagata said: "The national teacher came, and I even showed him the Tathagata Mahayana scriptures. Can the leader of the heavenly demon do evil, can he do more evil than the national teacher? The leader of Qin is also a sentient being, and there are no outsiders in Daleiyin Temple."

The venerable said yes, and walked over to lead the crowd.

Qin Mu smiled and said, "Brother, is there any vegetarian food in the temple? These days, I eat greasy food during Chinese New Year. I want to eat something lighter."

The venerable glanced at him, turned the rosary, suppressed the idea of subduing demons, and said: "If the leader stays in the Daleiyin Temple, he can have a lifetime of fasting."

Qin Mu laughed loudly, and said to the blind man, "I'm not afraid that we will make them poor."

The blind man snorted coldly and said, "Master Ma, do you think Tathagata can subdue Li Tianxing?"

Master Ma hesitated for a moment, and said: "One Tathagata is not enough. There are thousands of Tathagatas in the Thousand Buddha Pagodas. They are all existences with meditation and clarity. Most of them are still possible. It's just that they are all dead, and Master Li is also extremely extraordinary... Now I'm afraid that the old Tathagata will deliberately not surrender to Sect Leader Li, and will deliberately trap Granny Si in the pagoda. Granny Si is trapped here, and we will be trapped here too."

The venerable led them to the wing room, and said: "You don't need to stay here, the bookshelves are full of Buddhist scriptures, please read them."

Qin Mu saw that there were quite a lot of Buddhist scriptures on the bookshelf, Master Ma shook his head and said, "The Buddhist scriptures here are all scriptures without supernatural powers, just take a look."

The venerable said: "Supernatural powers are no match for karma, Ma Wangshen doesn't understand?"

Master Ma said indifferently: "Without supernatural powers, how can you resist karma? You are a disciple of the Tathagata? You can also be regarded as my junior brother. Your realm is too low, step back, and you don't have to play with superficial knowledge in front of me."

The venerable was ashamed and ashamed, turned and left.

The blind old god said: "Master Ma and I share old bones. It's fine to live here. Mu'er, you are the leader of the Tianmo Sect. If you are trapped here for the rest of your life, don't you want to die of old age here? I'll find someone Opportunity will send you down the mountain."

Qin Mu shook his head, and said, "We'll talk about it when my mother-in-law recovers. Blind Grandpa, Ma Ye, it's rare to come to Daleiyin Temple, let's take a look around."

Master Ma smiled and said, "Didn't you want to see the hundred dragons painting for a long time? I'll take you to the Tianlong relief to have a look."

Qin Mu was overjoyed.

The three of them walked out of the wing room, but they saw an old monk sitting outside the door, chanting scriptures to the dragon qilin, who had already fallen into a deep sleep, snoring loudly.

"Even Fatty Long wants to be transformed?"

Qin Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said to the old monk, "Zen Master, this rascal eats half a bucket of red fire elixir every day, can you afford it after you have transformed him?"

The old monk stopped chanting, glanced at him, and said, "It's affordable."

Qin Mu was speechless: "It's really rich. The Zen master continues."

Ma Ye led the way in front, walked down the clouds, came to the halfway up the mountain, pointed forward and said: "There is the Hundred Dragons Map."

Qin Mu looked, and saw huge pillars standing in a row, each pillar had a relief of heavenly dragons, and hundreds of monks under the pillars were observing the reliefs of heavenly dragons on the pillars, comprehending Taoism and supernatural powers from them.

Many monks are trying their supernatural powers, and their energy has turned into a dragon shape, flying all over the sky, and there is also a masterpiece of Buddha's light, which is very extraordinary.

There are also some monks who are fighting each other, confirming what they have learned and realized.

Seeing them coming, several old monks hurriedly bowed to Master Ma and said, "Senior brother is here."

Master Ma returned the courtesy without neglect.

An old monk rejoiced and said: "Senior brother was a big hit here back then, and some of us still remember the heroic appearance of senior brother back then."

Qin Mu stepped forward, stood in front of a dragon pillar, looked at it carefully, and was filled with admiration in his heart. The heavenly dragons are in various forms, and the stone carvings on this pillar have vividly portrayed the posture of the heavenly dragon.

Ma Ye is good at carving and carving with wood, which is lifelike. He should have imitated carving here.

The Bailongtu is indeed the key to practicing Leiyin Eight Forms, but the real key is Tathagata Mahayana Sutra. Without Tathagata Mahayana Sutra, it is difficult to practice Leiyin Eight Forms to the extreme.

However, Qin Mu has already comprehended the Great Unified Kung Fu, and his attainment in the Eight Forms of Lei Yin is not weaker than that of practicing Tathagata Mahayana Sutra.

At this moment, a voice suddenly heard: "The cattle herder!"

Qin Mu looked back, only to see a white-clothed monk looking at him in surprise. The monk had a kind face. Qin Mu suddenly came to his senses, and said happily, "It turned out to be the little monk Mingxin! We met at the grandma temple in Daxu!"

The young monk was called Ming Xin, and the old monk Jingming brought him to find Ma Ye, and used Xi Qiluo to gamble with Ma Ye. Ming Xin was won by Qin Mu, and Xi Qi Luo fell into Qin Mu's hands, and Qin Mu again The animal husbandry is donated to the magic ape.

Monk Mingxin walked over quickly, he had grown a lot taller, slightly taller than Qin Mu.

Qin Mu has only started to develop in the past six months, and his size has also grown rapidly.

Monk Mingxin looked at him, eager to try: "I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know if your kung fu has improved?"

Qin Mu said with emotion: "I've improved. Since I defeated you, I've improved by leaps and bounds."
