My Weird Life

  1316, Wild Goose Pagoda (22)

 Abeli ​​and others looked at King Kong Zhi with eyes filled with hatred.

However, they have seen the methods of King Kong Zhi, the great mage who protects the country of Tubo, and now with Su Wu supporting them, they dare to bar their teeth at King Kong Zhi. If Su Wu is not there now, they may not have the courage to show off. Such a look of deep hatred.

A few foreigners who could suppress their inner fears and travel to the Tang Dynasty to ask Vajra Zhi for the skull of the old king of Bakhna, whom they had previously been loyal to, were extremely loyal.

However, the hateful looks from Abeli ​​and others now also frightened King Kongzhi.

He is not afraid of these ant-like creatures, nor does he care if they show a little bit of hatred and anger, but he is afraid of the people standing behind these weak creatures!

Vajra Zhi lowered his head and said in a trembling voice: "The skull of the old king of your country was enshrined on the altar by a young monk. He was bathed in incense every day and received initiation and baptism. He never stopped for a day and never suffered any debt. —The young monk did not take the skull with him, but it is now placed where he stayed.

Your Majesty, how many of you...

Please come with me, and I will return the skull to you. "

Abeli ​​and the others had sullen faces, trying to look ferocious. They were also afraid that the powerful Vajra Zhi would refuse their request to take back the skull of the old king, but now the other party simply agreed to their request. Their expressions became confused for a moment, and they all turned their attention to Su Wu.

“Just right.

I am also interested in visiting Ci'en Temple, and I have benefited from your favor. "Su Wu smiled and responded to Master Vajra Zhi gently.

He raised his eyes to look at the towering mountain gate behind him.

Behind the mountain gate, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda's golden spire shines brightly in the sunlight.

"plz follow me."

Jingangzhi lowered his eyebrows and bowed to Su Wu again, then turned around and led Su Wu and his party through the crowd to Ci'en Temple.

He turned sideways, using one hand to guide him towards Ci'en Temple. Even if he was walking in front of Su Wu and others, he never dared to turn his back to Su Wu, as if as long as he turned his back, Su Wu would turn into something. The fierce evil spirit seemed to eat him up in one bite.

He continued to lead everyone through the mountain gate and into the temple. Only then did the many people who were enveloped in his thoughts and dumbfounded in front of the mountain gate suddenly come back to their senses.

 Everyone looked at each other in confusion, and each turned his head and looked around, looking for Master Vajra Zhi.

 But Vajra Zhi has already returned to Ci'en Temple, where can they see him?

“Sage Monk Vajra Zhi has returned to the monastery?”

 “What just happened?

I only remember that the holy monk seemed to have met someone, but what happened after that? But I have no impression..."

“There are many ‘secret methods’ in Tantric Buddhism. The scene when the holy monk met that person just now should have involved the ‘Secret of Tantric Buddhism’, so we have no impression of it.”

“You know better. I often go to Xingshan Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha. I have received several initiations from Master Shanwuwei, but I still don’t know as much as you!”

 “Where where…”

 …

 There are many monks and novices in Ci'en Temple.

The interior is divided into three courtyards: upper, middle and lower. In the front courtyard of the front door, there is the Heavenly King's Hall, which houses the four heavenly kings and protector gods. The middle courtyard is the "Maitreya Inner Courtyard", which worships Maitreya Buddha and his attendant Bodhisattvas, Arhats, etc. Since Ci'en Temple was built, it has been the ancestral home of the Dharma-Xiang Consciousness-only Sect. The Xuanzang lineage of the Dharma-Xiang-Wei sect all regards the "Future Buddha Maitreya" as their most important belief. There are so many palaces and statues related to various Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.

The world-famous ‘Big Wild Goose Pagoda’ stands at the end of Ci’en Temple facing the sun.

Su Wu followed Vajra Wisdom and passed by the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and his heart was suddenly touched. The origin of Dongliu Island condensed in his heart shook for a moment. At this moment, he suddenly saw the wild goose in Ci'en Temple. The tower stands at the intersection of Chang'an's dragon veins.

This giant tower has its own unique scenery and hidden secrets. It has locked many dragon veins around it and turned it into an invisible lock!

“This pagoda is the famous ‘Big Wild Goose Pagoda’.

The pagoda contains eminent monks and great virtues, relics of Buddhas, and many secret treasures and Buddhist relics collected by Master Tripitaka. The Wild Goose Pagoda was originally inaccessible, but after several renovations, it has become accessible.

However, the Wild Goose Pagoda is valuable and contains beautiful scenery. Those who are not Buddhists may get lost in it and lose all their life span in a short period of time. Therefore, pilgrims and believers are strictly prohibited from approaching the Wild Goose Pagoda. However, monks who practice can Stay inside the Wild Goose Pagoda.

Nowadays, the young monk’s most proud disciple, Fu Kong, is practicing in the Wild Goose Pagoda.

 He has stayed in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda for a day without any damage. "King Kong Zhi saw Su Wu staying in front of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, so he stopped and introduced various things related to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to Su Wu.

　　When mentioning his disciple ‘Bu Kong’, although King Kong Zhi was still a little frightened when facing Su Wu, there was still a bit of pride on his face.

This "Bu Kong" monk, his teacher King Kong Zhi, and Master Shan Wuwei of Xingshan Temple were collectively known as the "Three Great Masters of Kaiyuan" in later generations.

Su Wu nodded when he heard the sound, and his eyes passed over the armored soldiers patrolling around the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Without asking any more questions, he followed Jingang Zhi and left before.

 Ci'en Temple is a royal temple, and it is normal for soldiers to guard important arrangements in the temple. At that moment, Su Wu was curious about the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and wanted to find out more about it. However, he would not tell King Kong Zhi what he was thinking. The other person was only placed in Ci'en Temple by Emperor Xuanzong and was not the abbot of Ci'en Temple. Nowadays, the Third Patriarch Huinuma of Faxiang Sect travels all over the world with his elite disciples. Although there are many novice monks in Ci'en Temple, none of them can be the master of Ci'en Temple.

Vajra Zhi disciple Bu Kong was able to enter the Big Wild Goose Pagoda for a visit, which must have been approved by Emperor Xuanzong.

If Su Wu wanted to take a look inside the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, unless he got the approval of Emperor Xuanzong, he would have no choice but to avoid all eyes and ears and sneak in quietly to find out.

There are hundreds of houses in the backyard of Ci'en Temple, which are the residences of monks and novices in the temple.

Vajra Zhi was placed in the Zen room that originally belonged to the abbot of Ci'en Temple. This Zen house had been occupied by Xuanzang and Guiji, the two masters of the Faxiang Sect. Since then, it had been locked and vacant until Vajra Zhi set foot in Chang'an. Settling down to live here.

 This also shows that Emperor Xuanzong did attach some importance to the "Vajra Wisdom".

 The furnishings in the Zen room are quite simple. Even though Xuanzang and Guiji both lived here, there is no trace of the two eminent monks left here.

 There is an incense table placed near the window of the house.

 On the incense table, there is a bronze statue of the Great Sun Tathagata.

In front of the bronze statue of Tathagata the Great Sun, there is a mandala, with all kinds of magical instruments placed on all sides of the mandala, receiving incense and offerings together.

Vajra Zhi bowed respectfully in front of the incense table. After performing deep rituals, he muttered some words and took down the bowl-shaped ritual implement on the north side of the mandala.

The instrument is made of human skull. After being rubbed with sand for a long time, it has turned into an oily yellow color. There are still cracks on the top of the skull.

The four sides of the skeleton are chiseled with copper and gilded with silver, and are inlaid with various precious stones.

“This is the skull of the old king of the country of Bukhan.

He was born with merit and received incense and bathed in front of the Buddha. Now he will surely reach the bliss of the Western Heaven. "Jingangzhi respectfully held the magic weapon made from the skull in front of Su Wu and said auspicious words.

Su Wu took the skull and glanced at him.

 He immediately lowered his eyes and did not dare to say any more.

Vajra Wisdom doesn’t know where this young-looking great sage is based, but every time he touches the other person’s sexual intention, he feels like he has turned into a small boat, placed on the vast ocean, so that he can touch it. He had never seen a few levels of sexual desire that were terrifying in most of his life!

Especially in the ocean-like Xingyi, he sensed the existence of ‘Dharma nature’——

 Dharma nature!

 He has not yet touched the slightest bit of Dharma nature!

This great venerable has reached the level of "instantly becoming a Buddha". He does not need to go through reincarnation, eliminate karma, or accumulate merit. He is only one step away from becoming a Buddha. He can realize emptiness in this life. , truly become a Buddha!

 However, he only knew so much about Su Wu.

Jingangzhi didn’t even know that Su Wu’s Buddhist practice also came from Tantric Buddhism, but it was not the Tantric Buddhism that is relatively crude and simple at the moment and the essence of the method is rough, but the Tantric Buddhism that is dense everywhere in later generations!

Su Wu stroked the human skull bowl with his palm and wrapped it around the human skull bowl. The lingering thoughts mixed with the incense instantly turned into a breeze and dispersed.

He handed this skull bowl, which could not even be called a 'Kabala', back to Abeli, and said: "I have eliminated the karma and karma on it. You will not be affected by it at all if you carry this thing on your body." .

 You can take it back to the country of Bakhna and bury it together with the bones of the old king of your country. "

Such magical objects practiced in Tantric Buddhism have been in the same line since ancient times. They are all used to support the karma and various demonic obstacles entrenched in the magical objects, and use the demonic obstacles to support and protect practicing monks.

 Abe held up the human skull bowl with all his strength, and tears suddenly filled his round eyes.

Without saying much, he led all the people from the Bahan country and kowtowed three times to Su Wu. Abili stood up, moved the old king's skull into the wooden box that had been prepared, and bowed deeply to Su Wu: "You help us realize our wish. After we bury the king's skull, we will also Return to the Tang Dynasty and die in your service!"

“The journey is far away, the road is long and obstructed, and there are countless dangers in it.

I am asking for this skull for you and others as a matter of course and I do not need any repayment from you. After you return to your hometown, settle down there and live a good life.

  There is no need to take the risk of coming back here. "Su Wu shook his head and refused Abeli's repayment.

Abe glanced at Su Wu steadily. He did not say anything. He only saluted Su Wu and others and then exited the meditation room.

Zhang Fang then sent a few people out, and then turned back to the Zen room and said to Su Wu: "Mr. Lang, Abeli ​​and the others have left Ci'en Temple."

Jingangzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what Tang Ren, who had a normal aura, said.

Su Wu said ‘hmm’, and his eyes scanned the simply furnished Zen room, and finally landed on a piece of silk cloth in the corner of the Zen room.

So the priest opened his eyes quietly, reflecting some traces of cause and effect on the wide piece of cloth.

 He turned back and looked at Vajra Tripitaka with serious eyes.

At this time, the causes and effects all over the Vajra Tripitaka were reflected in Su Wu's eyes, and Su Wu clearly saw that he had an indirect understanding of the Vajra Tripitaka before he had seen it. Cause and effect!

“Have you ever seen two women who are closely connected with Buddha?” Su Wu asked Vajra Zhi.
