Ruyizhai

Continuing from the previous chapter, it is said that King Rahu Asura took Medicine Bodhisattva's medicine bowl and went down to Cave 230 to find Vimazhitara.Vimazhitara is also an Asura king, jealous by nature, narrow-minded, and in the same Buddhist cave with Rahu, he has eaten people, killed ghosts, slaughtered yakshas, ​​fallen into the realm of evil ghosts, and suffered from fire, sea of ​​knives and mountains. Bitterness, on the day of the Buddha's Nirvana, Vimazhitara went to watch the excitement with all living beings in the three realms. He watched from a distance, but saw that the kings of the Buddha Kingdom were all weeping, some felt lost, their souls were separated, and some plucked out their ears and cut their noses. To comfort the suffering of the soul, and around the Nirvana Buddha, a group of musicians played and danced, but the music was extremely joyful. Vimazhitara suddenly felt the impermanence of life. He was happy at one moment, lost at another, and disasters were all around him. , There is no end, only to practice to Nirvana, to be colorless, formless, unconscious, and get rid of this great samsara is the great liberation, but how can one understand the Dharma and then practice it?Tens of thousands of years have passed, and it is still difficult for Vimazhitara to escape the suffering of the five realms. He is often trapped by great joy and sorrow, and it is difficult to restrain his instinct of spreading jealousy and hatred to the world.Because he often traveled to and from the world, he missed the battle between the Asuras and the Yakshas. In this battle, the Asuras won a great victory, and Rahu's contribution was indispensable. From the realm of desire to the realm of form, after hearing about this incident, Vimazhitara seldom traveled to the human world, and often called his subordinates to practice Buddhism at home.Vimazhitara and Boxun's daughter, Trixi, had a daughter named Jiachan. Three days ago, after the coming-of-age ceremony, Gachan suddenly fell ill. However, Nagachan was getting worse and worse, and Vimazhitara was exhausted physically and mentally. He organized all his subordinates to chant scriptures day and night in the front yard, hoping that the immeasurable Dharma could help Jiachan overcome the illness.

When Rahu arrived at Vimazhitara's place, the copper door was closed tightly, and there were many asuras kneeling in front of the door. The men were haggard and the women were also yellow and thin. There was a wooden fish in front of each of them. While knocking on the wooden fish and chanting sutras, he thought he had arrived. Somewhere in the world fasting temple.When these asuras saw Rahu, they didn't say hello or salute. They just chanted the scriptures to themselves. Rahu was angry for a while, but the sound of the Buddhist scriptures, before the Dharma, the dignity and etiquette all had to give way, and Rahu had nowhere to vent his anger. "Amitabha", cleared his throat, and yelled loudly: "Vimazhitara, brother, I have brought the medicine bowl of Medicine Master Bodhisattva! The flowers and plants in the three worlds can be cleared away as long as they are put into this medicine bowl." The soul, healing all diseases, is definitely more effective than that sun and moon with the same brilliance!!"

After finishing speaking, Rahu glanced behind him, and the Asura Sutras were still chanting sutras.

After a while, the door opened, and Vimazhitara came to greet him in person.Rahu was overjoyed to see Vimazhitara, and Vimazhitara was overwhelmed with gratitude when he saw Rahu, and said, "I know Brother Luohu won't leave you alone, please come in quickly."

Vimazhitara introduced Rahu into the house, without the barrier of the two copper doors, walking in Vimazhitara's house, Rahu's ears were full of chanting, and the chaotic voice was rolling.It's all because of the strange disease that Jiachan has, she always has misconduct with others, her body is restless all the time, and her heart and soul are always sinking in that desire.

Rahu comforted Vimazhidara and said, "Don't worry, brother, I am casting spells on the Namani jewel for the purification of my body. I didn't lend you the jewel yesterday. You have two servants by your side, if I get rid of my doubts about the magic power of the orb, the inner court will be unhappy."

As he spoke, Rahu handed the medicine bowl of Medicine Master Bodhisattva to Vimazhitara, begging him to accept it, and said, "Since the sun and the moon are of no use, hurry up and try this medicine bowl again."

It was Vimazhitara's turn to be flattered, looked at the medicine bowl, and said, "How can Medicine Master Bodhisattva's medicine bowl be accepted casually?"

He said: "The Mani orb is the treasure that Brother Luohu was ordered to guard. There is only one in the fifth cave of 730. It was lost 3000 years ago, but luckily it was found overnight. It was my stupid brother who was reckless yesterday. Court, please ask the inner court to grant me grace and allow me to use the orb to save the little girl's life." He said with shame, "Otherwise, listen to it, what a shame it is."

Luo Hu listened, the begging voice was real, and the word "inner court" was also true, Luo Hu couldn't help being in chaos, if the inner court came to forcefully confiscate the Mani orb, what should we do?After thinking about it, how could the inner courtyard forcefully confiscate the orb for a mere Vimadara?Luohu breathed a sigh of relief, and echoed, "Vimazhitara, you have gone through tens of thousands of kalpas, and you have only such a woman. You can be saved no matter what."

Vimazhitara said: "Then this medicine bowl should be returned to Medicine Master Bodhisattva."

Luo Hu heard this, and said, "That's not necessary. With the decoction made from this medicine bowl, and the cleansing magic power of that precious pearl later on, Jiachan's illness can be cured no matter what? Besides, this precious pearl can be used for a while. I won't be able to reach you in a while, so you can use this medicine bowl first, so that you can have clean ears."

Rahu said again: "If you don't look at the face of the Asura, you can also look at the face of the Buddha. The group of Asuras outside know that I have come with the medicine bowl of Medicine Master Bodhisattva. They can't hear the argument between you and me here. They look back and see that I am holding the medicine bowl. If you go out, don’t you want to think that the Bodhisattva’s medicine bowl is useless and you have returned it? It doesn’t matter that my face is dull, but why bother with the Bodhisattva’s reputation?”

Vimazhitara said: "I will go out with you, just explain in public that I have never used it, and spread the word."

Rahu said: "You don't use the Bodhisattva's stuff. Could it be that you think it's useless and don't use it intentionally?"

Vimazhitara said: "Then take this to the little girl's room, whether it is useful or not, you will see right away."

Luo Hu said: "It's not in a hurry, think about it, this medicine bowl won't be of much use..."

Vimazhitara said: "This is useless, so you question the uselessness of Bodhisattva's things?"

Luo Hu laughed dryly and said, "Listen to me."

Vimazhitara said, "Say it."

"I mean, just in case, Jiachan's disease is not cured, whether it is cured or not, others can hear it with one ear, this medicine bowl has entered your place, it is better not to let it out for a while, let it go first. It stays here for two days. As for me, I will take out some of your treasures and send them to the Bodhisattva. Let’s not talk about whether the Bodhisattva wants it. Anyway, let people outside know that you exchanged the treasure for the Bodhisattva’s medicine. Bodhisattva came to use the medicine bowl, whether the medicine bowl is useful or not has nothing to do with the Bodhisattva, it only has to do with your sincerity and how precious the treasure you give.”

Vimazhitara thought to himself, "But what treasure do I have?"

Luo Hu said: "My dear brother, don't worry, I don't know if you still remember, at that time when we robbed the treasure house of Emperor Shitian at night, I took a magic whip, and you took a precious mirror. Baojing, Boya took the jade dew vase. I went to the world a while ago and exchanged the magic whip for a treasure gourd. The gourd can carry a boat. It’s very interesting. I haven’t told anyone else yet, so I’ll lend it to you now. Treat it as your baby."

When Vimazhitara heard this, he suddenly understood that this Rahu had been beating around the bush for a long time and said that he had come for the fractal mirror, but he remained calm on the surface, took the medicine bowl from Rahu's hand, and signaled him to stop, Said: "The courtyard inside is the little girl's residence, I'll try the medicine bowl first."

Luo Hu responded and waited on the spot.

When the judges saw this, they must have wondered why this Rahu spent so much time begging for the precious mirror of Vimazhitara. Wouldn’t it be enough to exchange the medicine bowl for the precious mirror according to Medicine Master Bodhisattva’s instructions?The judges did not know that yesterday Vimazhitara came to ask Rahu for a loan of the Mani Orb. Rahu and Vimazhitara were of the same race, but also a narrow-minded, jealous and hating master. , and because he lives in the world of form, he thinks he is one level higher than the Asura king of the desire world, Vimazhitara, so he has to put up a shelf, push back and forth, and refuse to borrow the orb. Now he asks himself if he directly Asking for a precious mirror, Vimazhitara would never agree easily, not to mention that if Vimazhitara knew that he was asked by the Medicine Master Bodhisattva to exchange a medicine bowl for a precious mirror, he might have to embarrass him, so he used this as a detour Talking skills to ask for a treasure mirror.As soon as Vimazhitara left, Rahu felt uneasy, not sure whether Vimazhitara would give the mirror, and stretched his neck to look into the Gachan Courtyard.

In front of Jiachan’s gate was another group of asuras chanting scriptures, and there was a line of men and women lined up at the door, entering the room in turn. Some of these men and women showed bitterness, some were eager to try, some were blushing, so shy, and some beat themselves up. clothes, the excitement is palpable.

When Navimazhitara entered Gachan's house, he saw red waves billowing in the house, spring flowers blooming, a man and a woman doing something inappropriate for Internet censorship, the woman's face was alternately happy and painful, and the happiness and pain were all fleeting. Fleeting, change in a blink of an eye.The woman caught a glimpse of Vimazhitara and cried, "Daddy, I feel so bad!"

This woman is Jia Chan.Jiachan tried her best to support her body, and Vimazhitara pulled up the man who was pressing on her, and pushed him out of the room.Jiachan sat up, covered her face, and wailed loudly: "Daughter is so miserable!"

Vimazhidara handed over the medicine bowl and said loudly: "This is the medicine bowl of the pharmacist Bodhisattva brought by King Rahu. If any grass or tree enters this medicine bowl, all diseases can be cured. I put some bodhisattvas in it for my father." The leaves are gone, try it quickly!"

Vimazhitara winked at Jiachan, who fanned the wind with his hands and shouted dryly: "It's so cool!"

Vimazhidara howled: "The Dharma is boundless!"

The sound of chanting outside became louder.

Vimazhitara whispered to Jiachan: "Rahu, this old boy somehow asked me to ask for a fractal mirror."

He then told Jiachan all the conversations he had with Rahu.After hearing this, Jia Chan said, "Since he wants it, then give it to him."

"The precious mirror is a big treasure, how can you just give it as you say!"

"Father, don't worry, this is the heaven-reaching curse seal given to me by my mother. Even a Bodhisattva may not be able to see this curse seal clearly. You can print it on the back of the mirror. When I recite the spell, I can see the surroundings of the mirror." , what Luohu is going to do with the precious mirror, we will know it all!"

Vimazhitara asked, "Is there any news from your mother?"

Jiachan said: "Mother only said that the orb is no longer in Rahu's place."

Vimazhitara was overjoyed: "That's good! It doesn't matter where it goes, the boy Rahu will definitely be dismissed from the inner court, so the Asura of the 730 Five Caves is not only my leader, see how Nabo Xun dares to look down on me. !"

After all, Vimazhitara asked Gachan to quickly write the seal of the mantra on him.Vimazhitara remembered the seal of the mantra, so he went to find Rahu.When Rahu saw him, he hurriedly asked, "How is it? The room suddenly became quiet. Is the Bodhisattva's medicine bowl useful?"

Vimazhitara was very grateful: "Brother has a heart, the Bodhisattva's treasure is indeed a treasure, but I am worried that my daughter will not be able to bear the internal struggle between the Bodhisattva's mana and the magic power brought by her nature. Alas, let's keep the medicine bowl for now. According to what elder brother said, elder brother will take the mirror with me."

Vimazhitara went to the house to get the mirror, imprinted the heaven-reaching spell, and took a lotus flower, and gave them to Rahu together.He put the lotus flower in front of the mirror, reached into the mirror, and took out the projection of the lotus flower. The mirror was empty, and there were two identical lotus flowers in his hands.

Luo Hu was overjoyed, and left happily holding the mirror.

The words are divided into two ends, and the caves are divided into seven hundred. Let the officials look at Cave 249 again. The lights there are still on. You can see that Ruyizhai and Wu Xingchen have left the inner room and walked to the river, and Ruyizhai dived into the water. Next, Wu Xingchen followed suit and dived into the water. The stage lights could not see through the water, but Cave 675 was lit up. The cave was covered by dark clouds and the wind gusts, with dead trees growing like ghost claws. On the ground, the cave is full of toads and spiders, and the cave is full of ghosts and monsters. By the side of a muddy stream, a snow-white deer is bowing its head to drink water.Ruyizhai and Wu Xingchen poked their heads out of the water one after the other, and swam ashore.

Wu Xingchen saw another scene on the left and right, and asked in surprise: "Where is this place? The water in this cave is all through?"

Ruyi Zhai said: "This is the Devil's Cave."

After finishing speaking, he untied a thin white belt around his waist, tied it to Wu Xingchen, took the belt, and pulled him away, and said, "Keep close."

Wu Xingchen heard some concerns, and couldn't help feeling warm all over, followed Ruyizhai, and asked him, "What are you doing in the Devil's Den?"

Ruyizhai said: "Although this place is a magic cave, the Dharma in these caves is the same as the water flow, they are all connected."

At this point, Wu Xingchen shivered when a gust of wind blew in, and he couldn't help getting closer to the warm Ruyizhai.Ruyizhai smiled at him: "Are you so timid?"

Wu Xingchen said: "I always feel like I'm dreaming."

Ruyi Zhai said: "You must be dreaming."

He smiled and said: "If a person dies in a dream, he may wake up from the dream."

Wu Xingchen pointed forward: "Where is that place?"

What he was referring to was a raging fire not far away. In front of the fire was a row of monsters, all of strange shapes, and each monster was holding a person with a rope or chain at his hand. naked.Those monsters led these people to the big fire, untied their shackles, and those people ran towards the big fire happily and disappeared in the fire.Ruyizhai didn't say anything, just pulled Wu Xingchen to the end of the team, a four-eyed monster looked at him, sniffed him, and sniffed Wu Xingchen, didn't say much, continued to sniff and row The people behind them went.

In the blink of an eye, there were already many ghosts and people lined up behind them.Wu Xingchen heard a scream from the mixed crowd of people and ghosts, and someone shouted: "This is really a person! It's a person! I'm not here to deceive meritorious deeds!"

Wu Xingchen was about to take a closer look at what happened, when Ruyizhai patted him, stood in front of his eyes, and said to him with a smile, "Didn't you just ask where it was?"

He whispered to Wu Xingchen: "There is a saying in the Buddhist family. If I don't go to hell, whoever will go to hell. These people want to go to the pit of fire in order to seek the way and cultivate themselves. There are too many people in the pit of fire. The Bodhisattva is about to come to show his spirit, save them, and they will have a chance to achieve enlightenment."

Wu Xingchen was puzzled: "Since this behavior is skillful and voluntary, why are they still tied and led?"

Ruyizhai continued to whisper to him, sticking very close: "Those who tie and lead them are demons and karma. How can people have the courage to jump into the fire pit by themselves? There must be a demon to push them. Demons? , if the captured people realize their epiphanies and save themselves, it will be their merit."

Wu Xingchen said: "Evils also want to cultivate merit, to cultivate Buddha?"

Ruyizhai embraced him, and whispered into his ear lightly, "Which of the world doesn't want to become a Buddha?"

Wu Xingchen said: "Those who don't believe in Buddhism don't want to."

Ruyizhai laughed loudly, and patted his face, Wu Xingchen looked down at the belt on his waist, at Ruyizhai's hand holding the belt, he suddenly had doubts in his heart, Ruyizhai seemed to see him Before Wu Xingchen could ask anything, he smiled at him and said softly, "There are a lot of heretics here, so be careful." The matter was thrown out of the blue, so he just kept his mouth shut and followed Ruyizhai's actions.

Ruyizhai walked along with the advancing team, seeing that he was very close to the fire, he said to the monster in front: "The Mani Orb is missing, have you heard?"

The monster looked back at him, sniffed him, and then asked the monster in front: "The Mani orb is missing, have you heard?"

Soon these words spread all the way to the front, and soon Ruyizhai pulled Wu Xingchen to stand in front of the fire.Only then did Wu Xingchen see that standing in front of the fire was a monster with green face and fangs, with six arms, a pen in one hand, a small book in the other, a mace, a sword, an ax and a scimitar in the other four hands.Wu Xingchen and the monster were face to face, Ruyizhai winked at the monster, the monster flipped through the notebook, and wrote something in the notebook, Ruyizhai smiled, and pushed Wu Xingchen into the fire.

Wu Xingchen turned his head and was about to run, but the monster stood in front of him with quick eyesight and quick hands, and kicked him into the depths of the fire.Wu Xingchen looked around, he saw a hot wave, and in the center of the sea of ​​fire were people who closed their eyes and chanted scriptures. The fire burned their hair and clothes. They were all in pain and peaceful, and some even showed joy.

A man squinted his eyes and looked at Wu Xingchen. The fire burned to Wu Xingchen's trouser legs. Wu Xingchen quickly extinguished it with his hands. He found a corner where the fire was relatively small and stood there. Ruyizhai's words suddenly rang in his ears. :

If a person dies in a dream, he may wake up from the dream.

Suddenly, another voice sounded in his ear, and someone asked him, "Why do you call Jixiangtian Ruyizhai?"

The man also said: "Jixiangtian is full of stench, and I can smell his stench from three thousand miles away!"

Wu Xingchen followed the sound and saw that this person was the man who squinted at him earlier, now the man approached him and talked to him: "Where in the auspicious sky did you catch such a fresh person? You came from this world Right? What is the current situation in this world? Let’s hear it.”

After he finished speaking, his lips were still moving. Wu Xingchen figured out the meaning of some scriptures, and asked, "What are you reading?"

"The reincarnation curse, everyone is reciting it," the man cleverly rolled his eyes, rubbed his hands, and said to Wu Xingchen: "Little brother, you are unlucky to meet that auspicious day! You must have been deceived by his sweet words." Yes, I have followed his way! I have known that bastard for hundreds of lives, and he never said a word of truth, you, you were sold by him to this sea of ​​flames in the devil's lair, and you are regarded as his merit!"

"Hundreds of lives, all generations have been in this devil's lair?"

"That's not true. I've been to other caves too. Don't look at me sacrificing my life for enlightenment now. I used to be a celestial being in the color world!" The man shook his head and pulled Wu Xingchen to sit down. When he came to them, he was not without regret, and sighed: "It's just a thought of degeneration, falling into the realm of evil ghosts, and then entering the realm of animals. Oh, let's not talk, let's not talk, today is a happy day."

"A happy day?"

"Do you think everyone here is happy?"

All the people in the sea of ​​fire, whether they were charred black by the fire, whether their hands and faces were all burned, were indeed very happy, very happy.

Wu Xingchen said: "Sudden enlightenment is really so happy? This fire..." He was sweating a lot from the fire, took off his coat, and threw himself at the clusters of flames around him. He wanted to speak, but coughed Voice.

The man could still talk endlessly: "I'm about to go to the next reincarnation, can I not be happy? Only by suffering and suffering can you become a master."

Some people echoed: "In the next reincarnation, it is better to be a cow or a horse than to be in this devil's lair!"

Wu Xingchen swallowed forcefully, his voice hoarse: "What if you still come back here?"

The man said: "It's always a happy thing to have something to look forward to! Come back here again, let's talk about it when the time comes!"

Wu Xingchen said: "Isn't the practice of Buddhism a pursuit of great liberation?"

"Little brother, if you want to achieve great liberation, you can cultivate it. It is a good thing that you have such an ambitious goal. Our goals must be ambitious, but we should divide them into small goals and achieve them step by step. Hey, I heard it is auspicious. God stole the Mani Orb again?"

Wu Xingchen asked him: "What is the origin of this auspicious heaven you are talking about? He stole the Mani Orb once before. Why did he steal it? It can't be for selling money, right? If he dares to sell it, no one dares to buy it?"

The man said: "You have a lot of questions, but if you are idle, you are idle, so let me talk to you.

"This auspicious heaven is a cloud of spiritual energy between the heaven and the earth. He has a twin brother called Ruyi Zhai, which is formed by the gathering of all the turbid energy between the heaven and the earth. The Buddha called these two balls of energy to his side and sat in his seat. Going down to the lotus pond to practice, after ten thousand years and thousands of kalpas, the two of them cultivated two precious orbs, which were lifted out of the pond by a pair of bergamot hands. Boundless, belonged to Amitabha Buddha, everyone brought them precious delicacies, flowers, rain, dew, all kinds of treasures, enshrined, and it took thousands of years and thousands of kalpas. After he woke up, he saw the delicious food and wine in front of him, and he ate to his heart's content. When he woke up at Ruyizhai, he only ended up with leftovers, flowers and rain.

"Because everyone knows that Jixiangtian is the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and Ruyizhai is the turbid energy between heaven and earth. The more they worship Jixiangtian, the more they loathe Ruyizhai. The relationship between the two brothers is getting worse and worse. The Buddha knew that Then they combined the two of them into one, and asked them to practice together in one skin, to cultivate peace, to cultivate tranquility, one day and night, the one who wakes up is Jixiangtian, and the other day and night, the one who wakes up is Ruyizhai, Jixiangtian exclusively Eating delicious food in the world, Ruyi Zhai only eats flowers and rain. Auspicious days eat too much delicious food in the world, and the body is full of turbid air, while the Ruyi Zhai is full of strange fragrance. This auspicious day has practiced for many days, and has not learned any good skills , actually cultivated the deception method, escaped the Buddha's Dharma Eye, escaped to the lower realms, played games among the three realms, missed the flower streets, willow lanes, gambling shops and restaurants in the world. One day and night under the Buddha's seat is 1000 years in the world, so it is always 1000 years , Jixiangtian wakes up first, wanders around for several years, falls into a deep sleep, and after another 1000 years, Ruyizhai wakes up.

"Let's talk about Ji Xiangtian's stealing of the Mani Orb. One day, this kid made a bet with Bo Xun, the big demon king of Liuyutian, and boasted that he could steal the Mani Orb. Bo Xun didn't believe it, so he promised that if Ji Xiangtian really could After stealing the orb, Jixiangtian’s gambling debts owed in various demon caves were canceled in one stroke. Unexpectedly, Jixiangtian succeeded. Afterwards, Jixiangtian returned the orb to Luohu. Bo Xun tried to steal it again, but failed repeatedly. The sky is deep, this auspicious sky knows that he has offended Bo Xun, and he has never dared to enter the devil's lair, and now that he has shown his face in the devil's lair, I am afraid that Bo Xun will soon arrest him and chop him up!"

After Wu Xingchen finished listening, he asked the man, "If this sea of ​​fire enters, it won't be able to get out?"

The man said: "If you want to go out, just go out through the back door."

"There's a back door??" Wu Xingchen pointed at the blue-faced fang-toothed monster guarding the door, "Nobody guarding it?"

The man said: "Oh, you come in through the front door and you have to go out through the front door. How can there be such a good thing in the world? Here, the back door is over there."

The man pointed to a small door, and Wu Xingchen hurriedly walked towards the small door, but after walking a few steps, he came back and asked the man, "May I ask where Jixiang Tian is active on weekdays?"

The man said: "He has a good friend in Gandapo City in this cave. He is called Xu Lingmo. He used to be a flying sky before the Buddha. He is good at singing and dancing. You can find out after a little inquiry."

Wu Xingchen went looking for Nasu Lingmo.
