Chapter 319: The olive branch of Tianji Pavilion!
This dream about the black dragon actually started after Chen Xuanqing entered reincarnation again, that is, when he returned to Jiuzhou again.
No, to be precise, this started after he entered the hell realm.
He didn't pay attention at first, but as the Black Dragon Dream appeared more and more often, Chen Xuanqing gradually began to realize that something was wrong.
As the ancestor of Tianji said, people who cultivate immortals seldom dream. No, to put it bluntly, even if they don't sleep, they will naturally not dream.
Only when monks meditate will they enter that half-dream and half-awake state, so they won't notice it even if they snap their fingers for hundreds of years.
That state is very similar to sleep, but it is not sleep in the ordinary sense, because when meditating, the monk still needs to think, to constantly refine the true energy, and to solidify his soul.
However, this is really inefficient and very energy-consuming, so many monks usually let the physical body automatically run the exercises to warm and nourish the soul.
The same was true for Chen Xuanqing. He initially thought that dreaming was nothing, after all, that state was very similar to sleep.
But being able to think in dreams, he discovered over time that there was a mystery hidden in the dream, and that the dream had returned too many times, as if it was conveying some kind of message.
There were some strange things that Chen Xuanqing never mentioned because he instinctively felt that these things should not be told to Patriarch Tianji.
Chen Xuanqing still clearly remembers that when he jumped off the stone pillar, he found that the stone pillar was filled with dense incantations.
But because he fell so fast, he didn't see the content clearly the first time. But as he jumped off the stone pillar more and more times, he found that the spell on the stone pillar looked particularly familiar.
Like Buddhist scriptures.
After that, Chen Xuanqing collected many Buddhist scriptures circulated among the people. After several checks, he suddenly made an astonishing discovery.
That is the Buddhist scriptures on the stone pillars, which actually match the Rebirth Mantra!
But after studying the Rebirth Mantra for a long time, he still didn't quite understand it. Finally, he heard a monk explain: "The interpretation of the mantra of the Rebirth Mantra is the divine mantra for rebirth in the Pure Land in order to remove all karmic obstacles."
This was recorded in the shallow layer of the stone pillar, but as Chen Xuanqing jumped into the abyss again, he actually made a new discovery!
At the bottom of the stone pillar, there is actually a Buddhist scripture called the Huangquan Sutra.
Chen Xuanqing relied on his extraordinary memory to use it more than a dozen times before writing down the full text. Later, he even found a monk to translate this passage for him.
But after receiving the Sutra of Underworld, the monk said that he had never heard of the so-called Sutra of Underworld, and after he read it, he directly burned the Sutra of Underworld!
Then he almost opened his mouth to curse Chen Xuanqing, and chanted "sin, sin" many times, which also made Chen Xuanqing confused.
After that, he found many masters and monks, and without exception, all the monks had the same attitude as him. Among them, Master Samantabhadra, the gentlest among them, locked the door behind him and stopped seeing him.
It was not until later that Chen Xuanqing suddenly remembered the demon cultivators on Taiyi's side. Many of them seemed to be proficient in Buddhism.
It is ironic to say that the true meaning of the Huangquan Sutra, which Chen Xuanqing had been searching for for a long time in the righteous way to no avail, was actually discovered by these demonic monks.
It is summarized up and down, and the meaning is very simple in summary.
The Huangquan Sutra says.
Only killing can put an end to hatred.
Only theft can balance the strong and the weak.
Only sexual immorality can make love sprout.
Only lies can make people want to live.
Only craving for wine can calm down the mood.
Only by being greedy for pleasure can we not waste our time.
Only greed for sleep can lead to liberation.
Only indulgence can give life meaning.
After knowing this, Chen Xuanqing finally understood why those monks had such an attitude, because Buddhism has eight precepts.
The first is to abstain from killing, the second is to abstain from stealing, the third is to abstain from sexual immorality, the fourth is to abstain from lying, the fifth is to abstain from drinking alcohol, the sixth is to wear incense, the seventh is to sit and lie down on a high bed, and the eighth is to eat out of season.
What is recorded in the Huangquan Sutra is a complete distortion of Buddhism, and will definitely be hated by monks, because what it says is anti-Eight Precepts remarks.
To be precise, this is Bachong.
What are the eight worships?
The first is murder and arson, the second is theft and theft, the third is rape and robbery, the fourth is eloquence, the fifth is drinking to relieve sorrow, the sixth is enjoying time, the seventh is dreaming, and the eighth is indulgence.
Chen Xuanqing was very puzzled by this. Why did this kind of thing appear in his dream?
As the saying goes, everything that exists must have its reason. The appearance of these Eight Chongs is by no means ordinary, and there must be some kind of omen.
But Chen Xuanqing felt that it was better not to tell Patriarch Tianji about this matter, but he could also make some insinuations.
"Since it's a good omen, why does the Pavilion Master look like this?"
As Chen Xuanqing asked, he saw that the ancestor of Tianji was a little embarrassed, "A good omen is a good omen, but the world is impermanent, and there is no absolute good thing. Fellow Taoist, you might as well listen to what I say, although things in dreams are omens, they are also signs of the heart. ”
"It's better not to get too entangled."
Hearing this, Chen Xuanqing was stunned again, "I remember what the Pavilion Master said. It just so happens that I also have a few questions to ask the Pavilion Master, also about dreams. I am now very interested in dream interpretation."
Ancestor Tianji laughed twice when he heard this, "Haha, this is nothing. If fellow Taoist are interested, I might as well give you some pointers."
"Things in dreams are all born from the heart and transformed by the mind. Fellow Taoists know that there is a kind of fish in the sea of Beiming. It has a head as big as a ball, two eyes, a single bone, eight claws, and a mouth at the bottom. Its eight claws can The ability to absorb objects and spit ink into water.”
Octopus?
No.
"It should be an octopus, right?"
As Chen Xuanqing finished speaking, Patriarch Tianji was obviously stunned for a moment, "This is the first time I have heard the name octopus. People in the North Sea generally call this monster a sea monster."
"In the local generation, almost no one knows about sea monsters. If a woman dreams of such a sea monster, it means that she may be pregnant with an heir, or she really wants to be pregnant with an heir."
"Fellow Taoist, do you know why?"
Why?
What do octopuses and pregnancy have in common?
With his super understanding, Chen Xuanqing's brain was running rapidly at this moment, and he suddenly thought of a possibility, "The sucker of the octopus corresponds to the placenta?"
Ancestor Tianji's eyes flashed when he heard this, "Fellow Taoist is really very perceptive and talented. You can know this kind of thing just by thinking about it."
"I admire you. It seems that Taoist friends are naturally suitable for divination. Why don't you join my sect and become a worshiper of this party? Then I will definitely teach you all the money you have. Even my position as the master of the pavilion will be passed on to you. It’s not impossible.”
"Fellow Taoist, you might as well think about it carefully. Isn't this more comfortable than the elders of the small border sect of Muxianzhou?"
Is this an olive branch?
Chen Xuanqing narrowed his eyes and said, "Pavilion Master, please stop joking. Xuan Qing is incompetent and has no morals. He is embarrassed in his big job. He is afraid of letting down the Pavilion Master's expectations."
