Chapter 106: Down the Mountain and Thunder Tribulation
Guanhai Temple.
This temple was built during the Tang Dynasty and has a long history. It was originally named "Miaoli Puming Pagoda Courtyard". Later, a boring emperor of the Tang Dynasty climbed a mountain and found that the lonely mountain where Guanhai Temple was located was bitter and cold, and birds could not shit, let alone pilgrims. Even the pilgrims came to burn incense, so he waved his hand and changed it to Guanhai Temple.
The old abbot Hui really explained the word "Seeing the sea" in this way, "Seeing means visually; the sea originally refers to the surging sea, but here it refers to the prosperity of incense, and believers and pilgrims are like the tide of the sea."
Whenever Lu Sui heard this explanation, he would whisper and retort, "The person who watches the sea means that he has a high eye and a low eye. He clearly has the vastness of the sea in his eyes, but he can do nothing."
Who knows what the truth is!
Perhaps it was the reason why the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was revived?
Most of the temples are antique buildings from the Tang Dynasty. The only object that does not belong to the old antiques is the bronze tripod of the central furnace platform of the temple terrace. The front of the tripod is "serious" and the words "hundred-sophisticated" are cast on the back. It is reported that when the land sword immortal of Donghua Sect came to visit, the old host Abbot Huizhen made a bet with the land sword immortal to see Buddhism and Taoism, whose classics can be "not afraid of fire refining". So he put the Diamond Sutra, which the disciples of Shizong, on the bronze tripod, into the fire of the bronze tripod, and the scriptures were safe and sound. Then the land sword immortal of Donghua Sect was full of dark lines and took the initiative to admit defeat.
The most proud thing in Abbot Huizhen's life is nothing more than accepting a good disciple. But the most regrettable thing in Abbot Huizhen's life is that he did not educate this proud disciple well and violated all the Buddhist precepts. However, this disciple has a profound Buddhist teachings and often makes Abbot Huizhen speechless when he says Zen.
On that day, Lu Sui stood under the Bodhi tree where he usually preached the Dharma and Zen with his master Abbot Huizhen. Under the eaves not far behind him, there was a huge spider web that had been built for thousands of years. A pair of children were standing there watching the basin-sized spider on it, constantly exclaiming.
Lu Sui looked up at the Bodhi tree. He was tall and gave people an extremely harmonious feeling.
Thinking of the past when he was talking to his master here, the master likes to debate with him the most "what is most precious in life" and he always likes to answer "live in the present". Whenever he hears this answer, the master will be so angry that he will blew his beard and stare, and then quickly calm down and recite the Buddha's name lightly, warning him that "the most precious thing in life is not getting it."
Lu Sui put his sleeves in his hands, smiled softly, and murmured: "Master, I have already obtained the preciousness of 'not obtained', so I think the most precious thing is to live in the present."
At this time, a string of dark-colored hanging beads ran over his daughter Lu Wuzhi's head, and he was dragging the basin-sized spider in his hand. The spider was dragged on one leg, and the hideous and terrifying spider's face was full of love.
Lu Wuzhi raised his head and asked with some concern: "Lu Sui, where has the old abbot been? I haven't seen him for many days."
Lu Sui took off the hanging beads on his daughter's head, turned around and looked at his son who was still standing under the eaves and staring at the spider web, and then looked at the hanging beads in his hand. He couldn't help but feel a little worried. His son was born with the "Buddha heart" mentioned by Buddhism, and was innocent and pure.
However, his daughter was eccentric and lawless like a little devil. Not only did she dare to pull out the beard of the old abbot Huizhen, but she also snatched the Huizhen hanging beads and asked her mother to pick up more than a dozen beads, woven into rings, and ran wildly on her head. Whenever she saw this scene, Lu Sui felt heartbroken. The string of hanging beads was the top magic weapon given by the old monk named as the true Buddha in Leiyin Temple when the old abbot went to the Jialan Kingdom to seek the true scriptures. It was only more important than the Chiwen immortal sword that the land sword immortal in Donghua Sect regarded as the life-sacredness of life.
This silly girl and her mother didn't know how valuable these beads were. They were soon lost. Now these seven or eight are the only ones left.
Lu Sui silently put away the beads, touched the top of her daughter's head, and said, "The old abbot has gone to reason with others."
Lu Wuzhi opened his mouth in surprise and asked, "Be reasonable? Isn't it just a quarrel? Are there many people? The old abbot likes to cheat if he doesn't win. What if others bully the old abbot because of more people? Dad, do you want to help the old abbot beat them?"
In the traditional project of Guanhai Temple, the old abbot Huizhen is responsible for quarreling...
Pooh!
No, start over.
The old abbot Huizhen is responsible for discussing Zen with others, and Lu Sui is responsible for fighting with others.
The master said it was too much, and the apprentice was on!
Lu Sui smiled and said, "Just fight, don't be afraid!"
Lu Wuzhi cried out with a 'ao', pulling Lu Sui's sleeves and said, "Lu Sui Lu Sui, you have to help the old abbot. He can't argue with others every time and likes to scold his mother. What if he is beaten to death... Ao Ao Ao Ao!!"
Lu Sui reached out and touched her daughter's head, comforted her softly, and quietly looked back at her son Lu Wuwei. He was still standing under the eaves and looking up at the spider web.
Squeak~!
The door of the room opened. Lu Sui's wife came out with a strong servant, stood beside Lu Sui, looked into the direction of southern Xinjiang, and said, "The Wanfo Temple has many people, I'm afraid it won't give up easily!"
Lu Sui took his wife from a strong servant, with a gentle smile, and a Confucian temperament of "a gentleman's words and gentle man," and said, "It's just a fight, don't be afraid!"
She was still a little worried, touched Lu Wuzhi's head, who was still crying loudly, and said, "If you can't do anything for you, don't be arrogant. Just come back. I will go back to the capital to complain to the little emperor, seal them up Wanfo Temple, cut off their incense, and even if I can't kill them, I will disgust them to death!"
Lu Sui smiled and nodded, "Okay."
She looked back at the strong maid and ordered: "Prepare some clothes to change clothes, then go to the kitchen to bake a few cakes, and go back and lead the food on the way."
The last sentence was said to Lu Sui, who still smiled and nodded, "Okay."
The strong servant bowed and said, "Yes."
Lu Wuzhi burst into tears and laughed, jumped around in circles, shouting loudly: "The eldest princess is mighty! The princess is mighty!"
On this day, Lu Sui went down the mountain.
Passing by a nameless mountain that is towering into the clouds, I directly lifted it up and flew to the 100,000 mountains in southern Xinjiang.
Everyone in the world saw that on this day, there was a golden monk holding up his hands and traveling far away.
On this day, Abbot Huizhen of Guanhai Temple faced the siege of the eminent monk of Shizong and closed his eyes and entered into meditation.
A transparent figure floated above the Hundred Thousand Mountains, with a transparent body as thin paper, and all attack methods were like mud cows entering the sea without hurting him at all.
He entered into meditation without speaking, but never spoke of Zen. Although a monk who has attained enlightenment can determine life and death in one word, he is unwilling to take his life and death.

winter solstice!
Fang Yan took out the dragon ball, used his ability to find a subterranean dragon vein, and hugged the bead given by his sister Chen Biqing to sleep. The dragon energy was sucked in along the nose, slowly transforming his body.
The dragon energy in the dragon ball is like a pool of spring water, which can nourish a pond of fish and snakes.
The next year, the Jingzhe period.
Fangyan woke up from hibernation, a bead was dull and the dragon energy was absorbed.
The nine catastrophes of transforming dragons, the third catastrophe of dragon scales possessed and descended.
It was covered in dark clouds.
The clouds gathered thicker and thicker, as if they were about to press down.
Immediately afterwards, lightning and thunder were ripped open, and the sky was torn apart.
The sky seemed to suddenly crack open, crackling and chaotic, and then poured down neatly, like a giant dragon swallowing the entire world. Thunder roared in the middle of the low clouds, followed by a louder thunder. The "boom" sounded throughout the heaven and earth, and the sound was deafening.
The dazzling light illuminated the sky.
One, two, three, and nine.
The thunder tribulation penetrates the mountains until the dragon veins underground. The thunder tribulation flows through the dialect snake body one by one, smashing the scales, causing bone-bending pain, as if someone was peeling off the skin.
The thunder tribulation dissipated, and Fang Yan's snake body was once again covered in blood and lying on the ground, the dragon vein was motionless.
At the same time, the spirit of the dragon vein here turned into a dragon-shaped phantom, soaring into the underground cave, with thunder and lightning shining all over his body, making waves of dragon roars, shocking the heart.
