He said that the three of them had already completed the task of promoting the Tao technique. Today, they had completed their mission. The Lord of the Rings had given Monk Song an immortal pill to shed his mortal body. He ordered the Four Heavenly Kings to send Monk Song and his disciples back to the Soaring Heaven King Palace to report. The Soaring Heaven King Palace had the Six Ding and Six Jia, the Four Duty Cao, the Five Directions Jiedushi, the Nine Luminaries Star, the Taibai Golden Star, the Barefoot Immortal, the Twenty-Eight Stars, and so on. Monk Song and the others turned back and said," This disciple is indebted to the Grand Supreme Dao Ancestor's decree. Today, I have come to ask for Dao Ancestor's permission to hand over the decree.”Tao Zu was very happy and said: Yes, yes.”Lao Zi said: How about Monk Song and the others?”All the gods said," They are sincere, but they can't escape the observation of the Taoist Ancestor. Monk Song has gone through thousands of difficulties and dangers in order to obtain the Tao. He is miserable." He had suffered along the way, and Little God remembered it in his heart. This was their disaster account book, and he asked Dao Ancestor to take a look at it. On it was written,"The tribulations of birth, the cultivation of the four directions, the shedding of the mortal body, and so on are a total of 108 difficulties."
Grand Supreme Elderly Lord checked the account book of all the hardships he had experienced and said, Now that you have attained the Tao and returned to the truth, the first half of the Taoist Sutra is passed down. The second half is for you to go to the immortal mountain where the Heavenly Lord of the Origin lives and experience the tribulation before you can obtain it. This Taoist Sutra contains the mystery of immortals and the root of all things. Monk Song said," I will follow the decree of the Taoist Ancestor. I received the decree to obtain the Holy Bible of the Way of Heaven from all over the world. Now my merit is complete and I have succeeded. I hope I can return to the Song Dynasty as soon as possible to report."
Lao Zi said: You wait outside the Southern Heavenly Gate. You still have a trial, but the secret of heaven cannot be revealed.”In an instant, he ordered the four heavenly kings: in a difficult situation, must achieve Tao. The four heavenly kings brought the three of them and their horses down to the mortal world. Monk Song descended and said," Could it be that this was the trial that Lao Zi was talking about? The Spirit King said," There must be a reason why the heavens let us experience the tribulation. Monk Song said, His disciple's words were brilliant, but where was this place? Master, this is the Heavenspan Sea. So we fell here, but why do I feel so strange? At this moment, Monk Song thought of something and said," I remember now. We saved the Chen Family Village and saved his parents. He thanked us for building a boat and sending us off. But why did this Dao Ancestor send us here? We were too embarrassed to go to the Chen Family Village and ask for a boat to send us off. Monk Song said," I have already attained the Dao and shed my mortal body. If you use your divine arts, a thousand rivers will pass." Because there are still hardships, so I stay here. The master and disciples suddenly heard someone shout,"Daoist Priest Song, Daoist Priest Song, Daoist Priest Song!" Here, here! Everyone saw that there were no boats around, but a whale. They shouted at the seaside, Old Taoist, I'm so happy to hear that you've achieved success.
The spiritualist said,"You whale, you have the heart to receive us. Come up to the shore." Forget it, I'll trust you whale for now. If you dare to be treacherous, I'll definitely destroy you. Monk Song and the others climbed up, and the old whale carried them on its back. It stepped on the waves for several days, and the next day, it said to the shore, Old Taoist, I want to invite you to the Heavenly Court to meet the Supreme Taoist Ancestor and ask me how many years I have left. I have obtained Taoist scriptures from all over the world. Thank you for shedding your mortal body and flying to the Numinous Sky Palace to worship the Tao. Your mind is only on the true scriptures. I can't ask for you. I said that the heavenly secrets can't be revealed. When the time comes, you will know. After hearing this, the whale shook his body and dropped the three of them and the horse into the sea. Fortunately, the white horse was the Dragon King of the North Sea, and the harbor was the first-grade saber guard of the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Court. The spiritual man was the king of Dongling God Mountain. The spiritual man showed his magic power and helped the Song monk out of the water to the coast. However, his clothes, shoes and hats were wet.”The three of them were tidying up on the shore when a sudden gust of wind blew, causing the sky to darken and the earth to darken. Thunder and lightning struck, sending rocks and sand flying. Monk Song pressed down on the scriptures, and the spiritual practitioner waved his sword to protect Monk Song, saying, Master's gale and lightning were the names of demons and devils. They wanted to seize the Taoist priest's clothes and become immortal. The spiritual cultivator said, We protected Master to obtain the Taoist scripture. It is born from the spiritual qi of heaven and earth. It can live as long as all things. The sun and moon live as long as the sun and the moon. The Dharmakaya is immortal. Master has obtained the Dharmakaya. Thunder can't strike, and lightning can't strike.”The four of them checked the clearance documents and dried them one by one. Suddenly, they saw a few fishing boatmen who recognized the Taoist priest and said, Didn't the old master come here to seek Dao in the past?”
Gang Cai said: Yes, yes. Where are you guys from? How do you know us? The fisherman said," We're from the Chen Family Village. You look familiar. You're really the demon from back then. Fortunately, the Taoist priest and others took you as their disciple. Our village was at peace."”Zhu Gangcai said," I was just greedy back then. I didn't commit any heinous crimes. Don't mind me. How many miles is Chen Family Village?"”The fisherman said,"It's ten miles east of here."”Gang Cai said,"Master, let's go to Chen Family Village." His village has a place to stay and a place to eat. Wouldn't it be better to ask his family to wash clothes with us and dry the customs clearance documents?”
Monk Song said," There's no need. We'll just dry it here. If you go to their house to eat, I won't forgive you. The fisherman happened to meet Chen Cheng and shouted," The masters who helped your parents and wife two years ago have returned.”Chen Cheng asked,"Where did you see it?" The fisherman pointed back and said,"Walking on the coast to dry books and customs clearance documents."”Chen Cheng brought a few family members over to visit. He knelt in front of him and said,"" Since you have returned with the Daoist scriptures, why don't you rest in your residence instead of drying your books and clearance documents here? Please rest in your residence." King Ling said," We will dry the scriptures and clearance documents before we go with you."”Chen Cheng replied,"The elder's clothes are dirty." Monk Song said, The day before yesterday, the white whale was dragged across the sea and was about to reach the shore. He asked me how many years I had left to live. I said,"Heaven's secret can't be revealed. When the time comes, we will know." After he heard it, he threw us into the sea, which is why I got wet.”Chen Cheng said," Please have a rest, Taoist priest. We villagers will pack up the scriptures. The villagers will help us dry them in two hours. The next day, Monk Song said," The disciples packed up and rushed to Chen Family Village. In that village, one person spread the news to ten, ten to a hundred, old and young, all came to see?”Chen Cheng brought his family to thank the Taoist priest for saving his parents and wife, and ordered the servants to prepare a vegetarian meal.
Ever since Monk Song obtained the Ancestral Immortal Pill, he had shed his mortal body and become an immortal. He did not want to eat mortal food at all. The Spirit King had never eaten mortal food. Gang Cai was not allowed to eat, and he was not like before. He put down his vegetarian meal and took a bath in the Chen family village. He wanted to hurry to the immortal mountain to pay homage to the Heavenly Lord Yuanshi, hoping to get the Holy Bible and return to the court as soon as possible. How could the Chen Family Villagers be willing to let go? They said, Thanks to the Taoist priest for saving our parents and wife, we built a Taoist temple called Life-Saving Temple. We will not let them go easily. Monk Song said, Seeing that the Taoist temple was filled with incense and that it was neatly covered, Monk Song couldn't refuse. He said," Three days later, he went to the Celestial Mountain to visit the Heavenly Lord Yuanshi and asked for the second half of the moral Bible. The people said," Very good! Very good! When the commoners of the Taoist temple set up a vegetarian feast for the Taoist masters, the spiritual practitioner asked," When will this temple be built?" The commoners said,"This Taoist temple was built three years ago and is worshipped every year. I especially thank the Spirit King for saving my parents."”He saw the people kowtow and thank him. Suddenly, Heavenly Lord Yuanshi cast a spell and said, I am the Heavenly Lord Yuanshi. You will immediately go to the Immortal Mountain to receive the second half of the moral Bible. Chen Ling told the reason to the master. Thanks to the Heavenly Lord of the Origin, we will go to the Immortal Mountain to get the second half of the Bible. The people of the Chen Family Village can't refuse. The three of us will go to the Immortal Mountain to get the second half of the Bible and listen to the next time.
The three of them went around subduing demons and preaching. They followed the Four Heavenly Kings and Nine Luminaries Star and rose into the sky. However, they saw bandits hurting people in Shaolin Temple. The three of them jumped down from the immortal cloud and left on the cloud after punishing the bandits. The small monk said,"Master, are they immortals? Why don't they stay so that I can kowtow to them? If it weren't for them, who knows how many people would have died in the temple? Why don't we build statues for them and burn incense and kowtow every day?" Master said, This was also good. The common people must have seen the soaring clouds just now. If they built the statue, they would be able to burn incense every day and earn one gold per day. This way, the monks in the temple could live a good life.”The four heavenly kings, Nine Star, and the others sent the three of them to the border of Great Song in less than half a day and gradually returned to the capital. It turned out that in the 12th year of Emperor Taizong's reign, he had sent the Song monks out of the city to spread their teachings. Eight years later, this year, Emperor Taizu of Song was receiving the Tao Te Ching on the capital floor.”Every year, Taizong came to the city tower to watch, hoping to obtain the Book of Dao and Virtue as soon as possible so that the Great Song could learn the text of Dao and Virtue. Suddenly, the sky was filled with colors and layers of beautiful clouds. The Four Heavenly Kings said, This place is the capital of the Great Song. We can't go down, or else the mortals will see the sky and reveal the secrets of heaven. Chen Ling and the other two are also a little embarrassed to go down.”Go and deliver the scriptures to the Great Song. Come up, and we will wait for you at the Soaring Heaven King Palace and report to you together. Chen Ling said," It's indeed inconvenient for you. We will bring the scriptures to the Great Song. Please take care of this horse."”I'll go pass on the scriptures later. You wait here first.”
The Four Heavenly Kings said," The day before yesterday, the Taoist Ancestor, Heavenly Lord Yuanshi, told me that it would take less than ten days to complete the teaching of the scriptures in Song. Today, it has been more than half a day. I'm afraid that your stupid junior brother Zhu Gangcai will be greedy for wealth and beauty in the world and will miss the time."”Zhu Gangcai said," My master and I have all become immortals. How can we covet the beauty of the world? It's true that I like to flirt with beautiful women when I'm free, but I won't do it anymore. You unreasonable boors!" Wait for me to finish imparting the Daoist scriptures and come back to reason with you.”Gang Cai jumped on a load full of scriptures and slowly descended from the sky with his senior brother Chen Ling and his master Monk Song. Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty and many big pipes saw the emperor. Is my sworn brother here?”Song monk saluted, Taizong said: Who are these two?”Monk Song said," These two are my two disciples. My eldest disciple is Chen Ling, my second disciple is Zhu Gangcai. I can't tell you about the last one." Please get on my horse, and I will return to court with you.
Monk Song said," I thank Your Majesty for your kindness. After riding on Taizong's horse, Chen Ling waved his spear to protect him. Just then, we carried the scriptures and entered the court. Monk Song and the others entered the court. The common people did not know that the people who had come to fetch the scriptures had returned. The sunlight suddenly moved above. The young Taoist priest said, Did the heavens remind him that his master had returned with the Daoist scriptures? Monk Song looked back and said," The disciples came back as their master, and it had been seven or eight years since I left. Three days later, when the people learned that the immortals had returned, they discussed, Three days ago, the immortals who had been searching for the scriptures descended from the sky to the city tower and returned to the court with Lord Wansui. Monk Song took his horse and Taoist scriptures, and followed Song Taizong into the court with Chen Ling and Gang Cai. Taizong said, Sworn brother, please take a seat. Monk Song said,"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness." How many paths are there in the Dao Scripture?"
Monk Song said,"When we arrived at the Immortal Mountain, we paid our respects to the Heavenly Venerable. Thank you, Immortal Crane Boy and White Goose Boy, for entering the Treasure Pavilion to impart this Taoist Sutra." The two fairy boys asked for treasures, but they didn't get them, but I didn't have them prepared either. Later, I passed the scriptures to them. We thanked the Celestial Venerable for his kindness, but on the way, we encountered two demons. We simply searched for them with my Dharma power and destroyed them. However, the scriptures fell into the river. When we opened them, they were all the Book of Songs and not the scriptures above. I didn't have the talent to return to the Celestial Mountain to report to the Celestial Venerable. The Celestial Venerable said, This was a scripture on morality. Once upon a time, the former Eastern Spirit Immortal King came to admire a scripture. This scripture could allow mortals to transcend life and death and cultivate the Dao body for ten generations. However, he only gave me a fruit to ask for it. He meant that he thought my Daoist scripture was cheap. It was only right for me to ask for treasures from the two children. Monk Song said,"I have the gold and jade that the Emperor of Song gave to you."
The Celestial Venerable said: There are thirty-six volumes of this scripture, totaling 1,346 volumes in all kinds of calculations. It was carried to the Great Song Dynasty to pass on the scriptures.”Song Taizong congratulated him and shouted: The court hosted a banquet to entertain generous thanks.”Suddenly, he saw his second disciple walking at the foot of the steps with a strange appearance. He asked, Who are you?" The Taoist priest bowed down and said,"My eldest disciple, Chen Ling, is called the Spirit King. I have called him Chen Ling." He was born in Dongling Sacred Mountain and combined the essence of heaven, earth, sun, and moon. Because he wreaked havoc in the Three Realms 200 years ago, he was suppressed by the Celestial Lord's mana in the mountain. He was persuaded by the Grand Supreme Elder to be kind and converted to my Dao. It was I who rescued him and protected me along the way to subdue demons. His second disciple's surname was Zhu, and the word was Ao Neng. I also called him Gang Cai. He was born in the Demon Cloud Cave of Beiling Mountain. Because he regulated his breath at the foot of Beiling Mountain, he was persuaded by the Grand Supreme Elder to be kind. The person who lost his spirit took him. Along the way, he carried a burden and worked hard. He crossed mountains and rivers and made contributions. He even helped his eldest disciple, the Spiritual Practitioner, kill the demon. And the horse that Your Majesty gave me is no longer in the world.”
Taizong said: The hair is the same, how can it not be a horse given by me?”Monk Song said," I went to Mang Ling Mountain and waded through the water. The original horse has been swallowed by this dragon horse. Fortunately, the spiritual cultivator invited the old lord to ask about its origin. The old lord said," This dragon horse was originally the Dragon King of the North Sea. Because he had made a big mistake, he was saved by the Jade Emperor. He asked him to turn into a dragon horse to help me on the way. Song Taizong heard this and said: How long is the journey to travel far and wide to seek the Taoist scriptures above?”Song monk said: listen to the words of Lao Zi, the journey is 94,210 miles. He didn't remember the number on the way, only that seven or eight winters and summers had passed. Day after day, the mountain road, day after day the village.
There are many mountains and rivers, and the river is wide. It has also passed through several dynasties and is printed on the documents of customs clearance. This is a thing that can be confirmed.”Disciples, bring the clearance documents to His Majesty for His Majesty to see and accept.”Taizong saw that I had given it to him eight years ago. He said, It's been twenty years since I've been emperor.”On the document, there are the seals of Baohu Country, Jishu Country, Xilie Country, Jibao Country, Tianzi Country, Bifo Country, Miedao Country, Qixian City, Jade Dragon City and many other countries. Please take a look. His Majesty said,"That's right!" It was kept! It was kept! When I invited the officials to a banquet and walked hand in hand with His Majesty, did you have any magic power?”The monk of Song said,"My disciples have strange divine bodies in the mountains and forests. My eldest disciple, the spiritual one, used to make a scene in the dragon palace and the underworld. He didn't know the etiquette of the imperial court at all. I beg Your Majesty to forgive his crimes."”
Taizong threatened in his heart: No crime, no crime, please brother disciple with the officials to the banquet.”Monk Song said," Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. Both of you, go to the scripture pavilion and read it yourselves. Our country is vast and profound, but look at that: The heavenly gate is black and yellow, and the beauty in the earth is unique in the world of China."”The three of them, together with the civil and military officials, attended the banquet. Emperor Taizong sat there, singing and dancing merrily. The entire scene was solemn and joyous for half a day. As expected: get the blessing of the Tao, monarch and minister together to the banquet. It was passed down through the ages, and the light shone on the Imperial Palace. The next morning, the three of them gave their thanks for the banquet. Taizong returned to the palace, the officials returned to their residences, and Monk Song and the others returned to the Heavenly Fortune Daoist Temple. Seeing many Taoist priests kowtowing to welcome them, the small Taoist priests said, Master said that the sunlight above changed direction, which was when I returned to the Taoist temple. We remembered that Master Zhen Yan came out to welcome us. At this time, Gang Cai sneaked into the kitchen to eat tea and rice. Monk Song and the spiritual cultivator were calm and steady. They said that the Taoist Body was completed. They took a nap at noon that day. They didn't know that the incident of Gang Cai had been seen by Lao Zi in the Heavenly Court. They didn't know about your situation and took a nap.”The next day, Taizong went to court and said to the ministers,"Today, there is no need to thank my sworn brother for his great contribution. After yesterday's banquet, I asked the historian to come. We will write a poem together to praise your brother.”
His poems and essays: It is said that there are strange images in heaven and earth. The illustrious Song Dynasty covers them. The four seasons and five elements of heaven and earth reflect them. The mediocre people in the world accept them. The Taoist scriptures above advocate and spread them, benefiting the world forever.”Taizong immediately summoned the Taoist priest, who was already waiting outside the palace gate. Taizong announced an edict inviting the Taoist priest to the palace. Today, I thank my sworn brother for his kindness. Tomorrow, I will send the Taoist scriptures above to the Taoist temples of the four directions so that the world can learn the Taoist scriptures and fight to help our dynasty resist foreign enemies. This is my great fortune.”On that day, Guan Guan gathered together to view the Holy Scripture and was about to pass it on when Taizong said, His sworn brother read the Bible, and the Taoist priest said," Your Majesty, you can't read the scriptures in the main hall for fear of revealing the secrets of heaven. The true scriptures can only be passed into the Taoist temple and can't be read by the treacherous people in the court. Otherwise, it will be unfavorable to the Song Dynasty and Your Majesty.”，When Taizong heard this, he said,"I know what to do. Then I ordered many eunuchs, officials, and palace maids to carry the Taoist scriptures to various Taoist temples." Monk Song said, If Your Majesty spreads the Taoist scriptures to the Taoist temple to teach the world, the world will know Your Majesty's kindness. The true scriptures must be carefully collected and not underestimated.”
I know my sworn brother's words in my heart. I ordered the Hanlin Academy and the Shangshu to write scriptures and build a Taoist temple called Yulong Taoist Temple. Suddenly, the Four Heavenly Kings appeared in the sky and shouted," It's getting late, Daoist Priest and Spirit King. Come back to the Heavenly Court with us to get rich. After that, Monk Song and the others returned to the Numinous Sky King Palace of the Heavenly Court. Monk Song said," Kowtow to the Jade Emperor, the Jade Emperor lives forever! Longevity." The Jade Emperor said,"Congratulations to the Taoist priest for his efforts in obtaining the Holy Scripture of Dao and Virtue. After eight years of suffering, he has made great contributions to the three worlds. I hope that the Holy Scripture of Dao and Virtue can let the world learn the truth and cultivate to achieve enlightenment."”
Monk Song said," In your previous life, you were the reincarnation of the son of the Lord Laojun, and your name was Golden Boy. Because you didn't listen to the Lord Laojun's teachings, you reincarnated and started cultivating again. Today, you have regained your true body and returned to the Heavenly Court. Congratulations. The Spirit King once caused a great disturbance in the Buddha Realm and was suppressed by the Lord of Heaven to the Kunlun Immortal Mountain. Fortunately, you belong to Taoism. You punished evil in the human world and promoted good deeds to promote the power of the Heavenly Court. During the Buddhist scriptures, you killed demons all the way. Today, I confer you the title of Taishang Dongling Divine King. Zhu Gangcai was my first-class bodyguard in my previous life. He was lustful of women and teased my daughter. I demoted him and reincarnated him like a half-demon. Fortunately, he didn't commit any sins and didn't hurt any human beings. Fortunately, he returned to Taoism and joined my Taoism to protect Monk Song Sifang and obtain the moral Bible. However, he was greedy and lustful. Because you have carried the burden and joined Taoism, I hereby confer you the title of gatekeeper of the Southern Heavenly Gate. Are you willing? They all became immortals as they pleased, but why am I the only gatekeeper of the Southern Heavenly Gate? I refuse to accept this! I'm not convinced! The Jade Emperor said," Why are you not convinced? In my previous life, you flirted with my daughter. It's already your fortune that I didn't skin you alive and send you to the Land of Nine Travels. Today, you talked back to me. It seems that you still want to reincarnate and cultivate. The Jade Emperor announced," He demoted Zhu Gangcai to a despicable person who would never be able to achieve immortality. He knelt down and begged, Your Majesty, please spare me! Your Majesty, please spare me! I won't do it again! I won't dare to do it again! The Jade Emperor said,"It's not easy for you to cultivate. Today, I forgive you. If you do it again in the future, I won't let you off easily."
Zhu Gangcai said,"Thank you, Your Majesty. I won't do it again!" I won't do it again!" The Dragon King of the North Sea falsely accused the Spirit King of stealing the divine iron. Fortunately, the Lord Lao Zi pleaded for mercy. Because of the contribution of his foot strength when he took the Taoist scriptures, he now returned to the right position. If he committed the same mistake again in the future, he would never be able to reincarnate. The three of them cultivated to the right result. The Jade Emperor announced: Respectfully inviting the Western Buddha, the Honorable Avalokitesvara, Maitreya Buddha, Manjushri Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, Spirit King Bodhisattva, all immortals, earth gods, mountain gods, and all those who have achieved immortality to ascend to heaven to receive the title. The Jade Emperor said," The three of you have achieved good results. Today, we invite all the gods and Buddhas to eat the peaches of immortality. The Jade Emperor said," Every year, the 18th of the seventh month in the Heavenly Court is the birthday of the Queen Mother of the West in the Jade Lake. There are 3,600 peach trees in the Peach Garden of the Queen Mother of the West. Please taste them. The story is over."
