Chapter 145: Tathagata and three people plan to subdue the dragon to the lower realm
In the Western Paradise, two saints, Zhunti, are discussing how to spread the faith of Buddhism among mortals. Zhunti has already planned to let the seventeenth Arhat among the eighteen Arhats, and the leader among them, the Dragon Subduing Arhat, descend to earth.
Jie Yin naturally had no objection, so after that Zhunti called the Tathagata and told him the plan. Of course, with Zhunti's wisdom and calculation, he would not tell the Tathagata all of this, but only part of it. In Zhunti's mind, as long as he and senior brother Qi knew about this incident, he believed that they could control the overall situation.
Later, Dapengniao, the former Jiejiao Yuyixian and Kong Xuan's brother, was deliberately warned and calculated by Tathagata. Because he did not really join the West, but was replaced by his brother Kong Xuan, he was captured by Zhunti and taken to the West. , and because of Tathagata's calculations, the dissatisfaction in his heart naturally reached the top. Therefore, under the deliberate intention of Zhunti, Jieyin, and Tathagata, Dapeng destroyed the fake Buddhist treasures they left in the Demon-Conquering Hall. Naturally, it was very high according to Tathagata's level. It was easy, and he asked Dapeng to kill the guard guarding the Demon-Conquering Hall. Afterwards, Tathagata belatedly ordered Venerable Jianglong to lead the Eighteen Arhats to go down to earth to subdue Dapeng and imprison him in the Boluo Cave. Tathagata's calculation was accurate. With the help of Ti in the battle, Dapeng used a trick to escape in the heavily guarded Boluo Cave. Later, the Buddha ordered the dragon to descend to the earth to subdue the Dapeng and save the world and the people. After descending from the dragon, he was reincarnated in Li Maochun's home in Hangzhou, and was named Li Xiuyuan by an old monk passing by. Li Xiuyuan and the girl next door, Rouge, were childhood sweethearts and had been engaged in marriage since they were young. But on the day of the wedding, the Seventeen Arhats appeared in the sky and awakened Xiuyuan's memory of his previous life. Xiuyuan suddenly realized his past life and went crazy. Because of Li Xiuyuan's madness, Yanzhi was considered an unlucky person by the Li family. He was blamed by the Li family's relatives, friends, matchmakers, and others. He couldn't bear the humiliation and ran away with hatred. Li Xiuyuan went to Lingyin Temple and became a monk, with the Buddhist name "Daoji". Although his behavior was crazy and he did not abide by the Buddhist rules, he was actually kind-hearted and helped the world and saved people. He was respected as "Jigong" by others. Guang Liang, the inner superintendent of Lingyin Temple, cast spells to confuse Tathagata and deliberately made things difficult for Jigong and opposed Jigong. Jigong, who is also the subdued dragon, had his consciousness informed part of Zhunti's plan during his next term, so he was more tolerant, but at the same time He devised a small plan to trick the two of them, revealing his Buddhist magical powers and making more mortals believe in Buddhism.
Dapeng naturally sensed Jiang Long after he descended to earth. After several detections, he locked Jiang Long's identity to Daoji, and secretly stole the Nether Fire from the underworld to burn. Guang Liang was punishing him for drinking privately. Daoji punished Daoji for copying scriptures at Dabel Tower. Dao Ji was naturally not afraid because of his advanced cultivation, but the Great Bei Tower was burned down. Guang Liang believed that the burning of the Great Bei Tower was all caused by Jigong, and asked Jigong to raise funds to rebuild the Great Bei Tower within a month. Jigong fully agreed. , but when one month expired, Jigong still had not raised a penny, and Guang Liang announced that he would drive Jigong out of Lingyin Temple. Just when Guang Liang was about to drive away Jigong, Chen, Li, and Zhang from Hangzhou City came to Lingyin Temple to express their intention to donate money to Jigong. Why did Guang Liang wonder? It turned out that these three members donated money, but it was Chen, Li, and Zhang who also came to donate to Buddha because they had been rescued by Jigong. The money was obtained for the reconstruction of the Dabei Tower, but only the wood was lacking. Guang Liang once again made things difficult for Jigong, asking him to go find the wood and transport the wood back to Lingyin Temple. Jigong agreed to complete the mission. Jigong went out to beg for wood. The woodcutter who collected wood told him that the mountains and forests here were owned by Qian Yuanwai, the richest man in the city. Jigong went to Qian's Mansion to melt wood. Qian Yuanwai, who cherished money as much as his life, not only refused to give him the wood, but also ordered someone to chop off Jigong's legs. Jigong played a little trick on Qian Yuanwai, and Qian Yuanwai promised to give Jigong wood, and falsely asked Jigong to take as much as he could. Jigong said that as long as his monk's clothes were wrapped with some wood, it would be enough. Officer Qian was overjoyed and secretly thought that Jigong was really a crazy monk. Jigong used the power of the Seventeen Arhats to enlarge the monk's robes and cover the entire forest. Officer Qian was dumbfounded and deeply distressed about his family property but could do nothing. Jigong just asked the woodcutter to throw the cut wood into the "Fuchun River". The woodcutters were puzzled, and Jigong claimed that he had his own way to transport the wood back to Lingyin Temple.
When Jigong returned to the temple, Guang Liang saw that Jigong did not wait for the wood, so he thought that Jigong had not turned into wood, so he wanted to drive Jigong out of Lingyin Temple. However, Jigong said calmly: "Brother, don't be anxious, the wood Come, follow me." Jigong then led all the monks in Lingyin Temple to the well in the temple. With a wave of his hand, Jigong saw wood sprouting out of the ancient well one by one.
Because of this, the reputation of Lingyin Temple spread far and wide with Jigong. However, Qin Xi, the Prime Minister of the Southern Song Dynasty today, is a person who does not like monks. He heard about the wood of the large stele building in Lingyin Temple. It emerged from the ancient well, and the people regarded it as a miracle, but they did not believe it, so they ordered their men to demolish the monument. After the officers and soldiers arrived at Lingyin Temple, they were obstructed by Jigong. The Prime Minister of Qin was furious and sent troops to capture Jigong. At the same time, Dapeng also incarnated himself to confuse Qin Xi, saying that Jigong was a demon in his previous life and wanted him to kill Jigong. Qin Xiang was deceived by it. Moreover, Jigong¡¯s crazy words in the Qin Prime Minister¡¯s Mansion finally aroused Qin Prime Minister¡¯s murderous intention. Qin Prime Minister ordered people to kill Jigong on the spot in the back gardenAt the same time, Qin Huan, the son of Qin Xiangguo, relied on his father to become an official. In the fish and meat village, he usually hung out in Huajie and Liuxiang. One day, he fell in love with a beautiful civilian girl who was still mourning her husband and took her back to the house to rape her. The girl was unwilling to be humiliated and hanged herself.
The daughter of the people was also a loyal person, and she wanted to take revenge after her death. However, the Prime Minister of Qin was a high official and had the luck of his race to protect his body. Of course, he was not afraid of the harassment of innocent ghosts, and his son Qin Huan was young and vigorous, with Yang on his body. Naturally, he is not afraid of ghosts even if he is full of energy. Only Qin's mother is old and frail, and Mrs. Qin's body is getting worse and worse, and she is in critical condition.
"Secretly, Jigong called out the wronged soul so that he would no longer harass the innocent Mrs. Qin, and cast a spell to make Qin Huan pregnant overnight. Prime Minister Qin invited many famous doctors to treat Qin Huan, and all the doctors diagnosed him with the same diagnosis: Qin Huan was pregnant. Prime Minister Qin was furious and arrested all the doctors. Later, because Qin Huan could not be rescued and his belly was getting bigger and bigger, Qin Xiang had to ask the doctors if there was a way to remove the fetus in his belly. However, all the doctors answered in unison that if the fetus in his belly was aborted, Qin Huan was dying. At this time, one of the famous doctors told Prime Minister Qin that only the holy monks from Lingyin Temple could cure Qin Huan. Prime Minister Qin knew that Jigong was an eminent monk. It was too late for Prime Minister Qin to regret it. He could only see that his son was about to die. Labor.
Jigong lied that the ghost fetus had grown in Qin Huan's body. If he wanted to take out the flesh fetus, Qin Huan must tell the truth. Only then did Qin Huan admit that he had fallen in love with the newly widowed girl and took her back to the mansion to rape her. Later, the girl hanged herself in the palace and her body was buried in the wilderness by servants. At this time, Qin Huanban suddenly woke up and decided to take responsibility for the wrong things he had done in the past, and wanted to die to apologize to the girl. Seeing that Qin Huan had repented, the wronged girl was finally willing to forgive him. Qin Huan decided to become a monk to show his repentance.
