"The Book of Songs" said: There is a great Tang Wang down the imperial seal, imperial envoy Xuanzang asked Zen. He was determined to find the dragon's cave, and he was determined to cultivate the mountain peak.
How many countries have you traveled far and wide on the border? From now on, don't drive to the west, Bingjiao Jia holds enlightenment big empty.
Three days before the ninth month of the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, Sanzang was escorted out of Chang 'an Pass by the King of Tang and many officials. After a day or two, he did not stop and arrived at the temple as soon as possible. The abbot of the temple, the elder of the upper room, led more than 500 monks. They lined up on both sides and received them inside. They met each other and offered tea. After tea, he went to fast. After the fast, he didn't realize it was late. It was that...
The shadow of the Milky Way is near, and the moon is bright without dust. Wild geese sing far away from the Han Dynasty, and the rhyme of the anvil echoes in the west.
The birds returned to the dead trees, and the monks in Zen talked about Sanskrit. He sat on a futon until the night was about to end.
Under the lamp, the monks discussed the Buddhist decree and the reason for going to the Western Heaven to obtain the scriptures. Some said that the mountains were high, some said that the roads were full of tigers and leopards, some said that the mountains were steep and the cliffs were difficult, and some said that it was difficult for poisonous demons and evil monsters to descend. Sanzang said nothing, but pointed to his heart and nodded several times. The monks didn't understand what he meant. They put their palms together and asked,""Master, what is the meaning of nodding your head?”Sanzang replied,"When the mind is born, all kinds of devils are born. The heart was destroyed, and all kinds of demons were destroyed. My disciple once made a great vow to the Buddha in Hua Sheng Temple. I couldn't help but think about it. This time, we must go to the Western Heaven to see the Buddha and pray for the scriptures so that we can return. May the Holy Lord's plans be eternal.”When the monks heard this, they all praised him and called him " Master Chidan Dachan." They praised him endlessly and invited him to sleep.
Early in the morning, the waning moon fell on the bamboo, and the rooster sang in the morning. The monks got up, cleaned up the tea, and stopped eating. Xuanzang put on his cassock and went to the main hall. He bowed in front of the Buddha and said,"Disciple Chen Xuanzang went to the Western Heaven to obtain scriptures, but his eyes were blind and he could not recognize the true form of the Living Buddha. Now I am willing to swear that I will burn incense in every temple on the road, worship Buddha when I meet Buddha, and sweep pagodas when I meet them. I hope that the Buddha will be merciful and reveal his sixteen-foot golden body as soon as possible. Give him the true scripture and leave it in the East.”After the prayer, he returned to the abbot's room to eat. At the end of the meal, the two attendants straightened their pommel horses and hurried on their journey. Sanzang left the mountain gate and bade farewell to the monks. The monks couldn't bear to part with him, so they walked him ten miles away. They returned with tears in their eyes, and Sanzang went straight west. It was the autumn weather. He saw-
The trees of several villages fell and the reed flowers were broken. The red leaves of maple and poplar trees fell. On the way, there are few old friends in the misty rain. The yellow chrysanthemums are beautiful, the mountain bones are thin, and the water is cold and the lotus leaves are broken. White grass, red knotweed, frost and snow in the sky, setting clouds alone in the sky. Vaguely dim wild clouds fly, black birds fly away, guests come, the sound of the night is broken.
The master and disciple traveled for a few days before arriving at Gong Prefecture City. Early in the morning, Gongzhou officials and other people came to meet him into the city. After a night's rest, he left the city the next morning. He was hungry and thirsty all the way. He lived at night and walked in the morning. After two or three days, he arrived at Hezhou Wei. This was the border of the Great Tang. The chief soldiers of the town and the monks and Taoists of this place had long heard that the imperial envoy's brother, the monk, had gone to the west to see the Buddha. They were all respectful and received the supplies inside. They asked the monks to go to Fuyuan Temple to rest. The monks of the temple paid their respects one by one and arranged for an evening fast. After the meal, he ordered the two attendants to feed the horses until dawn. When the rooster crowed, he called his followers, but they alarmed the monks in the temple and ordered them to prepare tea and soup. After fasting, he left the border.
This elder was busy and woke up too early. It turned out that it was late autumn, and the rooster crowed early, so there was only the fourth watch. A group of three people, even four horses, facing the clear frost, looking at the bright moon, walked for dozens of miles, saw a mountain ridge, had to pull the grass to find the way, not only rugged and difficult to walk, but also afraid of the wrong path. Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly lost his footing and the three of them fell into the pit. Sanzang panicked, and his followers trembled with fear. But just as he was frightened, he heard a roar from inside,"Take the future, take the future!" A strong gust of wind blew, and fifty or sixty demons rushed out and dragged Sanzang and his followers up. The mage was trembling in fear as he stole a glance. The demon king sitting on top was very ferocious, really...
He is majestic and imposing, fierce and dignified. Lightning flashed in the eyes, and thunder shook the four directions.
Saw teeth spread out of the mouth, chisel teeth exposed near the cheek. The body is surrounded by brocade, and the back is covered with patterns.
Steel whiskers rarely show flesh, and claws as sharp as frost. Huang Gong of the East China Sea was afraid, and the king of Nanshan had a white forehead.
Frightened, Sanzang was scared out of his wits, and his two followers were weak and numb. The demon king ordered them to be tied up, and the demons tied the three of them up with ropes. Just as he was about to arrange for them to devour it, he heard a commotion outside. Someone came to report,""Lord Bear Mountain and the special scholar are here.”Hearing this, Sanzang raised his head to look. A black man was walking in front of him. What do you think he looked like?
He is bold and brave, and his body is light and strong. He waded through the water with fierce strength, ran through the forest with angry power.
I've always had a good dream, but now I'm alone. Green trees can climb and break, know the cold weather is good at telling the season.
Quasi-spirit is the most prominent place, so it is called Shanjun.
Then he saw a fat man coming from behind. How did he look?
He wore a towering double-horned crown, and his back was solemn and straight. He is dressed in blue clothes and is steady, and his hooves are slow and slow.
The name of the clan is the father's name, and the original name is the mother's name. Those who can farm have merit, so they are called special hermits.
The two of them walked in unsteadily, and the demon king rushed out to welcome them in panic. "General Yin, you've always been proud. Congratulations, congratulations!" said Bear Mountain Lord.”"General Yin," said the special hermit,"is more handsome than usual. How delightful, how delightful!”"How have you been these past few days?" asked the Devil King.”"I'm just keeping my clothes," said Shan Jun. "It's just a matter of time," said the hermit. The three of them sat down and talked and laughed.
The servant was tied up and wailing in pain. The dark man said,"Where did these three come from?" "He came to us," said the Demon King.”"Is it possible to entertain guests?" asked the hermit with a smile.”"Flattery, flattery!" the Demon King said. "You can't use them all," said Shan Jun."You can eat two of them and keep one.”The demon king accepted his promise and immediately called the people around him to cut open their stomachs and gouge out their hearts, chop their bodies into pieces, offer their heads and hearts to the two guests, eat their limbs themselves, and give the rest of their flesh and blood to the demons. Only to hear the sound of hemp, really like a tiger eating a lamb, in an instant eat up. He almost scared an elder to death. This was the first suffering he had to go through after leaving Chang 'an.
Just as they were panicking, the east gradually turned white. The two monsters only dispersed at dawn and said,""I'll repay you wholeheartedly for today's trouble.”He was forced to retreat. Soon, the red sun rose high. Sanzang was in a daze and could not tell north, south, east, or west. Just as he was about to die, he suddenly saw an old man walking toward him with a cane in his hand. Walking forward, he waved his hand and the ropes were all broken. He blew on the other side, and Sanzang knelt down and said,"Thank you, old eunuch, for saving this poor monk's life!”"Get up," replied the old man. Did you miss anything?" "My followers have been eaten by monsters," Sanzang said."I wonder where the luggage and horses are.”"Isn't that carriage a horse and two bundles?" the old man pointed with his staff.”When Sanzang looked back, he saw that it was indeed his object and did not lose it. He felt slightly relieved and asked the old man,"Old Eunuch, where is this place? Why is Eunuch here?" "This is Twin Fork Ridge, the lair of tigers and wolves," the old man replied. Why did you fall here?" "When the rooster crowed," said Sanzang,"I left the border of Hezhou Guard. Unexpectedly, I got up early and was exposed to frost and dew. I suddenly lost my way here. I saw a demon king who was too fierce and stubborn. He tied me up with my two followers. Then he saw a black man who called himself Bear Mountain Lord. A fat man, who called himself a special scholar, walked in and called the demon king General Yin. The three of them ate my second follower before the light dissipated. I didn't think that I had such a great fate to feel that the old eunuch had come to save me.”"The Chushi is a wild ox spirit, the Shan Jun is a bear spirit, and the General Yin is a tiger spirit," the old man replied. The demons around him were all mountain spirits, tree ghosts, monsters and wolves. Because your nature is bright, so I can't eat you. Come with me and I'll lead you on your way." Sanzang was very grateful. He put the bundle on the horse, held the reins, and followed the old man out of the pit and onto the main road. He tied the horse to the grass beside the road and turned around to thank the eunuch. The eunuch turned into a gust of wind and rode a red-crowned white crane into the sky. He saw a slip of paper left behind by the wind. On it were four lines of praise for the son, praising the son:
I am Venus from the western sky, and I have come to save your life. There are gods in front of you to help you, don't complain about difficulties.
When Sanzang saw this, he bowed to Heaven and said,"Thank you, Venus, for saving us from this disaster."”After paying his respects, he led the horse and walked forward alone. This ridge was really…
The cold wind rustled in the rainforest, and the sound of murmuring water flowed down the stream. Fragrant flowers bloom, dense clumps of rocks. Deer and apes, deer and muntjac. There was a lot of noise and birds, but it was quiet and quiet. The elder was trembling and restless, and the horse was too weak to lift its hooves.
Sanzang risked his life and climbed up the mountain. After half a day, there was no sign of a village. First, he was hungry, and second, the road was uneven. At the critical moment, he saw two fierce tigers roaring in front of him and a few long snakes coiling behind him. There were poisonous insects on his left and monsters on his right. Sanzang was alone and helpless. He could only put down his body and mind and listen to the orders of Heaven. However, the horse's waist was soft and its hooves bent. Even if it knelt down and fell to the ground, it could not be beaten up or pulled. It was so hard to find a master without a place to live. It was really very sad. He had already decided that he would die. There was nothing he could do. Though he was in trouble, he had a remedy. Just as he was about to die, he suddenly saw poisonous insects running.
If you run, the demon beasts will fly away, the fierce tiger will hide, and the long snake will hide. When Sanzang looked up, he saw a man walking out from the front of the hill with a steel fork in his hand and a bow and arrow hanging from his waist. He was indeed a good man. Look at him-
He wore a mugwort-leaf spotted leopard skin hat on his head, a cashmere brocade robe on his body, and a lion belt around his waist. He wore a pair of leather boots. His round eyes are like hanging guests, and his beard is like a river. Hanging a bag of poisoned arrows, holding a big steel fork. The sound of thunder broke the gall of the mountain insects, and the bravery frightened the wild pheasant.
Seeing him approaching, Sanzang knelt by the roadside, clapped his hands together and shouted," Save me, Great King! Save me, Great King!" The man came up to him, put down the steel fork, and held it up with his hand."Elder, don't be afraid. I'm not an evil person. I'm a hunter in this mountain. My surname is Liu Boqin, and my nickname is the Mountain Guardian. I just came here to find two mountain worms to eat. I didn't expect to meet you and bump into you.”"I am a monk sent by the imperial envoy of the Great Tang to the Western Paradise to pray to the Buddha and ask for scriptures," Sanzang replied. Just came here, met some wolves, tigers, snakes and insects, surrounded by four sides, can not move forward. Suddenly I saw the Taibao come and all the beasts ran away. He saved my life. Thank you, thank you!”"I live here," said Bo Qin,"and I rely on hunting wolves and tigers for a living, catching snakes and insects for a living. That's why the beasts are afraid I'll leave. Since you're from the Tang Dynasty, we're from the same village. This is still the territory of the Great Tang, and I am also a citizen of the Tang Dynasty. You and I share the land of the Emperor, and we are indeed people of the same country. Don't be afraid. Follow me and rest at my house. I'll send you on your way tomorrow.”Hearing this, Sanzang was filled with joy. He thanked Boqin and led his horse along.
After crossing the hill, they heard the whistling of the wind. "Don't go, Elder," said Bo Qin,"sit here." A mountain cat had arrived at the sound of the wind. Wait for me to take care of you at his house." When Sanzang heard this, he was frightened and did not dare to move. The Taibao held his steel fork and stepped forward to meet him. He saw a multicolored tiger. When he saw Bo Qin, he hurriedly turned around and left. "Where are you going, you karmic beast?" the Taibao roared.”Seeing that they were in a hurry, the tiger turned around and pounced. This Taibao raised his three-pronged fork to meet the enemy, scaring Sanzang so much that he collapsed on the grass. This monk was born into his mother's belly, so when had he ever seen such a dangerous business? Taibao and the tiger were at the foot of the hill. The man and tiger were locked in a stalemate. It was indeed a battle. He saw-
Anger was everywhere, and the wind was raging. Anger is rampant, Taibao rushed to the crown, strong arms; A strong wind blew, and Ban Biao used his momentum to spit out red dust. One of them bared his fangs and brandished his claws, while the other turned around. Three forks raise the sky to show the sun, thousands of flower tails disturb the fog and flying clouds. One stabbed at his chest, and the other swallowed his face. The reborn man who flashed past said, and the Yama King who bumped into him. Only to hear the roar of the tiger and the roar of the Taibao.
Ban Biao roared, shaking mountains and rivers to scare birds and animals; Taibao's voice is loud, shouting to open the sky
Stars appeared. One of them had golden eyes, and the other was filled with anger. Liu Taibao, who loves to guard the mountain, is worthy of being praised as the king of the earth beast. Men and tigers are greedy for life and fight for victory and defeat. Some children are slow and lose three souls.
The two of them fought for two hours, only to see that the tiger's claws were slow and loose, and it was stabbed down by the Taibao's raised fork. Poor thing, the tip of the steel fork pierced through the heart and liver, and in an instant, blood flowed all over the ground. Pull your ears and drag them on the road, good man! Without even panting, he said to Sanzang,"Good fortune, good fortune! This mountain cat was enough for the elder to eat for a few days.”"Taibao," said Sanzang, full of praise,"is the true Mountain God.”"What ability do you have?" Boqin asked. This was a great blessing for the elders. Go, come! Hurry up and peel off the skin, cook some meat, and wait for you.”He held a fork in one hand and dragged the tiger with the other as he led the way. Sanzang led the horse and followed them. As they walked along the hillside, they suddenly saw a mountain villa. The door was really-
Towering ancient trees and wild vines. Thousands of valleys are cold and dusty, and thousands of cliffs are strange. A path of wild flowers fragrance, a few bamboo poles quiet green Yiyi. Grass gate tower, fence courtyard, can be painted; Stone bridge, white soil wall, really happy really rare. Autumn looks bleak, refreshing air lonely high. Yellow leaves fell by the road, and white clouds floated on the ridge. The mountain birds in the sparse forest were noisy, and the small dogs outside the village were loud.
Boqin arrived at the door and threw the dead tiger down, shouting,""Where are the little ones?" Three or four servants, all of whom looked strange and evil, came forward and dragged the tiger in. Boqin instructed,"Hurry up and peel off the skin, and arrange for the guests to come."”He turned back to welcome Sanzang into the palace. When they saw each other, Sanzang thanked Boqin for his kindness and mercy. Boqin said,"We're fellow countrymen. There's no need to thank me." After they had sat down to drink tea, an old woman with a daughter-in-law bowed to Sanzang. "This is my mother and my wife," said Boqin.”"Please let me take a seat in the main hall," said Sanzang."This poor monk will pay his respects.”"Elder," said the old woman,"we are guests from afar. Please treat yourselves well. There is no need to bow."”"Mother," said Bo Qin,"he was sent by the Tang Emperor to the Western Heaven to see the Buddha and seek the scriptures. I happened to meet my son on the top of the ridge. I miss him and invite him to my house to rest his horse. I'll send him on his way tomorrow.”"Good, good, good!" the old woman said happily. Just ask him not to do this. Coincidentally, your father Zhou Ji will ask the elder to do some good deeds tomorrow and recite some scriptures to send him off the day after tomorrow.”Although Liu Boqin was a tiger killer and the guardian of the mountain, he was somewhat filial. Hearing his mother's words, he wanted to arrange incense paper to keep Sanzang.
As they spoke, the sky turned dark. The little ones spread out the tables and stools, took a few plates of cooked tiger meat, and placed them on top. Boqin asked Sanzang to use it temporarily and prepare another meal. "Good," said Sanzang, putting his palms together in front of his chest. I won't hide it from the Taibao. I've been a monk since I was born, so I don't know how to eat meat.”When Bo Qin heard this, he pondered for a moment before saying,""Elder, the Han family has never been vegetarian. Even if there were some bamboo shoots, some wood ears, some dried vegetables, and some tofu, they were all fried with roe, deer, tiger, and leopard, but there was nothing vegetarian about them. There were two pots and stoves, but they were also greasy. What could they do? Instead, it's my fault for inviting Elder." "There is no need to worry, Taibao," said Sanzang."Please enjoy yourself." Even if I don't eat for three to five days, I can endure hunger, but I don't dare to break my fast.”"What if I starve to death?" said Boqin.”"Thanks to the heavenly grace of the Grand Protector," said Sanzang,"I was saved from the tiger and wolf thicket. Even if I starved to death, it would be better than feeding the tiger.”When Boqin's mother heard this, she called out," I don't want to waste my time talking to you, Elder. I have my own things that I can take care of."”"Where did the plain things come from?" Boqin asked. "Don't worry about me," said his mother."I have my own way."”He asked his wife to take the small pot down, burn it on fire, and then brush it again and again, but it was still on the stove. He first boiled half a pot of boiling water, then used some elm leaves to make tea, then used some yellow millet to cook rice. He cooked some dried vegetables and scooped two bowls before placing them on the table. "Elder," the old woman said to Sanzang,"please fast. This is some extremely clean tea and rice that I and my daughter-in-law have personally prepared.”Sanzang came down to thank him and then sat down. Boqin had set up another place and arranged some tiger meat, fragrant deer meat, python meat, fox meat, rabbit meat, and dried deer meat without salt and sauce. He accompanied Sanzang to eat vegetarian food. Just as he sat down, he was about to raise his chopsticks when he saw Sanzang put his hands together and chant sutras. Boqin was so frightened that he did not dare to move his chopsticks. He hurriedly stood up and stood beside him. Sanzang recited a few words, then asked him to "fast." "You're a monk who chants the Short Head Sutra?"”"This isn't a scripture," Sanzang replied."It's a scroll of a spell to break the fast.”"You monks have a lot of plans," said Boqin."You recite even when you eat.”
After eating the vegetarian meal and putting away the plates and bowls, it gradually became late. Boqin led Sanzang out of the central residence and went for a walk in the back. After passing through the narrow path, there was a grass pavilion. He pushed open the door and entered. There were a few bows and crossbows hung on the four walls, a few jars of arrows inserted, two bloody tiger skins hung on the beam, many guns, knives, forks and sticks stuck at the foot of the wall, and two seats in the middle. Boqin invited Sanzang to sit down. Sanzang saw that it was so dangerous that he dared not sit still for a long time, so he left the pavilion. Further back, there was a large garden, but he could not see the clusters of chrysanthemum stamens piled up yellow, the trees maple and poplar hanging red; With a whoosh, ten fat deer and a large group of yellow deer ran out. When they saw people, they were dazed and not afraid. "I suppose the Grand Protector has taken care of this roe deer for the family?" Sanzang asked.”Bo Qin said,"It's like your Chang 'an City. Those who have money gather treasures, and those who have villages gather rice." As hunters, we can only raise some wild animals in case the weather turns cloudy.”The two of them talked and walked leisurely. Before they knew it was dusk, they returned to the front house to rest.
The next morning, the whole family got up and prepared the vegetarian meal. They waited for the elders to start chanting scriptures. The elder washed his hands, held an incense stick in front of the Taibao clan hall, and bowed to the clan hall. As Sanzang struck the wooden fish, he first chanted the mantra of cleansing the mouth and then the mantra of cleansing the body and mind. Then he opened the Book of Death. After reciting it, Boqin asked him to write a letter recommending the dead, and then read the Diamond Sutra and the Guanyin Sutra one by one. After reciting, he ate lunch and recited the Lotus Sutra and the Amitabha Sutra. They each recited a few volumes, read a volume of Peacock Sutra, and talked about washing.
The story, early and late. He offered all kinds of incense, turned the gods into paper horses, and burned the memorial to the dead. After the Buddhist ceremony, they went to bed.
As for Boqin's father's spirit, he had been recommended to get rid of his indulgence. The ghost had long come to the Dong family's residence and asked in a dream,""I was in the underworld, suffering and unable to escape. Fortunately, the holy monk read the scriptures and absolved me of my sins. The King of Hell sent me to an old man's house in a rich place in China. You should thank the elder properly. Don't neglect him, don't neglect him. I'm going." This is: All laws are solemn and sincere, and death and suffering come out of depravity.
The whole family woke up from their dream, and the sun rose in the east. Boqin's wife said,""Taibao, I dreamed that my father-in-law came home tonight and said that he was suffering in the underworld and could not reincarnate for a long time. Fortunately, the holy monk read the scriptures and eliminated his sins. The King of Hell sent him to the home of an elder in a rich place in China. He told us to thank the elder well and not to neglect him. After saying that, he walked out of the door and walked away. We called him but he did not answer, we could not keep him, but when he woke up, it was a dream.”"I had the same dream as you," Bo Qin said. Let's go and tell Mother." Just as the couple was about to say something, the old mother called out,"Bo Qin's son, come, I'll talk to you.”The two of them came forward. The old mother sat on the bed and said,"Son, I had a happy dream tonight. I dreamed that your father came home and said that thanks to the elder's salvation, he had already cleared his sins and went to a rich place in China to be reborn.”The husband and wife laughed heartily." My wife and I both had this dream. We were just coming to report it, but we didn't expect Mother to call us. It was also this dream."”So he called the whole family up and arranged for them to thank him. They helped him pack up the horses and came forward to thank him."Thank you, Elder, for recommending my late father to reincarnate. I can never repay you enough!”
"What can I do for you?" Sanzang asked."I would like to thank you for your trouble."”Boqin told Sanzang what the three of them had said in their sleep, and Sanzang was delighted. He had already given them a vegetarian meal and a tael of silver to thank them. Sanzang refused to accept a single cent. The whole family kowtowed again, but Sanzang didn't receive a single cent, so he said,"You were merciful enough to send me on my way.”Boqin and his mother and wife had no choice but to make some coarse flour sesame seed cakes and dry food. They asked Boqin to send them far away, which Sanzang gladly accepted. The Taibao received his mother's order and called two or three servants, each with hunting equipment, to go on the road. They could not see the wild scenery in the mountains and the scenery on the ridge.
After walking for half a day, he saw a huge mountain across from him. It was really high up in the sky, tall and steep. Sanzang soon arrived at the border. The Taibao climbed the mountain as if it were flat ground. Just as they were halfway up the mountain, Bo Qin turned around and stood at the foot of the road,""Elder, you go ahead, I'll report back.”Hearing this, Sanzang got off his horse and said,"I'll have to trouble you to send me off again."”Boqin said," Elder, you don't know. This mountain is called Dual World Mountain. The eastern half is under the jurisdiction of the Great Tang, and the western half is the territory of the Tartars. If the wolves and tigers don't surrender to me, I can't cross the boundary.”Sanzang was shocked. He opened his hands and pulled his clothes and sleeves, tears falling down his face. Just as he was bidding farewell, he heard a thunderous shout from the foot of the mountain,""My master is here, my master is here!”Sanzang was so frightened that he became stupid and Boqin struggled. After all, I don't know what kind of person is shouting. Let's listen to the next chapter.
