Chapter 1319 What is the truth? (22)
The pagoda is majestic, and the main door at the bottom of the pagoda is open. The Buddha's light inside is melting, neither increasing nor decreasing.
Su Wu walked through the main entrance of the Wild Goose Pagoda, which was guarded by soldiers, and stepped into it.
There is a deep passage leading to the door, and there is no light in the passage. However, Su Wu went out to look at the main entrance of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and clearly saw that the main entrance was filled with Buddha's light. Now that he really entered the main entrance, he suddenly fell into a gloomy situation.
This passage was so dark, so dark, it seemed like it was going to drown Su Wu's soul. While Su Wu was sinking in this seemingly boundless darkness, he was still at ease. He walked slowly, neither light nor heavy, always moving forward.
After walking forward for a while, it seemed as if only one breath had passed, and as if several springs and autumns had passed - a melting light suddenly lit up from the center of Su Wu's eyebrows, and then reflected the current scene in the Buddhist cave!
The light between his brows burned like a torch, illuminating the first floor of the Buddhist cave inside the Wild Goose Pagoda as brightly as daylight. In this great light, monks standing, lying or sitting were displayed around the Buddhist cave. They were like They were like real people, lifelike, but Su Wu could see at a glance that these eminent monks and virtuous men were actually made of clay.
It is said that they are made of mud, and each Buddha statue faintly exudes some vitality, as if it is alive.
When Su Wu's eyebrows suddenly glowed with light, burning like a wheel, all the monks turned their attention to Su Wu. At the same time, Su Wu heard the monks sigh happily in the air: "I can't keep you here, you Go forward, go forward!
Maitreya Bodhisattva Mahasattva!
Maitreya Bodhisattva Mahasattva!
Maitreya Bodhisattva Mahasattva! "
All the clay sculpture monks chanted and recited the name of Maitreya Bodhisattva in unison. Under the reflection of Su Wu's nature light, they all lost their nature and intention and turned into lifeless clay sculptures again.
These clay monks may have been eminent monks of Ci'en Sect during their lifetimes. After their death, they left the Buddha's bones in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, where they were shaped into statues of monks.
Ci'en Sect has always regarded "Maitreya Buddha" as its highest belief. Therefore, before all the monks eliminate their thoughts of tranquility, they will recite the name of Maitreya Bodhisattva in unison.
After the monks' sexual aura disappeared, the wheel-like sexual light between Su Wu's brows also suddenly shrank, gathering into an illusory lotus with petals on top of his head. Without the reflection of the sexual light between his eyebrows, the surroundings became dim again, and the dark environment There are steps that appear to be made of loess, but exude a rich scent of sandalwood.
Su Wu stepped up the dim stairs and walked along the stairs to the second floor of the tower.
As the stairs went up, Su Wu had the feeling that he was going down continuously - the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was originally an upside-down world, which was in line with the Buddhist truth of "upside down dreams, and eventually nirvana". Since Su Wu walked into the Wild Goose Pagoda, After the tower, the upside down world has begun to test him.
The dark, long, lightless passage corresponds to the path of seeking emptiness. It is also dim and lightless, and the way forward is unknown. Generally, monks who walk into the passage may be trapped and die in it.
And Su Wu had long realized the existence of 'Dharma nature', so the light of nature would appear between his eyebrows. When he walked straight through the dark passage, the entire first floor of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was illuminated by his light of nature. Those who were originally All the eminent monks and virtuous men who were supposed to debate scriptures and explain Buddhist principles with him gave him a free pass.
They knew that they couldn't keep Su Wu.
Su Wu walked down the stairs and entered the second floor of the tower.
There are many Bay-leaf scriptures placed in the tower. The moment Su Wu walked into the second floor of the tower, those scriptures started to turn.
The page turning frequency of each scripture is not consistent, some are fast and some are slow, as if there are invisible figures holding the scriptures and focusing on reading the contents of each scripture, and as the scriptures are turned over, The pages of the book are getting thicker and thicker, and the remaining pages are getting thinner and thinner, and illusory figures appear in front of the book.
Those illusory figures are actually different traces left by the same person. It was a young man with a slim build, neither tall nor short, and wearing a robe of a monk.
Many figures overlapped to form the young monk. The monk turned around and faced Su Wu. His brows showed the unique determination of young people. The light of sex fell faintly on the back of his head. In a trance, it seemed to have turned into a long river. The young monk He put his hands together and saluted Su Wu, and asked, "What is true?"
After the young monk raised the question, he added: "If I can solve this problem, I will cut my neck to thank you."
Su Wu saw the sharp look on the young monk's eyebrows and the faint river of Dharma nature behind his head, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
The current monk should be Master Xuanzang when he was young.
As expected, he was an enterprising young man. He was just discussing scriptures, so he made a bet with his head.
If the young Xuanzang was defeated by Su Wu, he would naturally cut his neck to thank him. If the monks who came to the second floor of the Wild Goose Pagoda couldn't solve the topic, they might have left something here - no wonder those who entered here by mistake Most of the monks will run out of life in a short period of time.
The second floor of the Wild Goose Pagoda alone is full of dangers, enough to retain 80% of the monks and make them spend all their life here.
Under the gaze of young Xuanzang, Su Wu replied: "I am true."
Hearing his answer, a cunning look flashed in the young Xuanzang's eyes, and he added: "The queen ant has always been supported by the ant colony, so she naturally thinks that the small ant nest is a boundless territory. This is the reality in her eyes.
A frog was born in a well when he was young. When he looks up at the sky above the well, he will regard the sky as a circle as reality.
Do you think you are real, just like those ants and frogs? "
"I am true." Su Wu still replied, "Buddha has told me - I am true."
When the young Xuanzang heard this, he frowned and said, "What did the Buddha teach you? Can you tell me what the Buddha taught you?"
"This is a secret." Su Wu said. "The Buddha practiced expedient methods and told me all the secrets of becoming a Buddha.
If I practice tantra, I can become a Buddha instantly.
The so-called "secrets" include body secrets, mind secrets, and mouth secrets. The three secrets are at the front. I cannot tell you all the contents of the Buddha's teachings.
But if you believe in and uphold the true vehicle, you must believe in and uphold my three secrets. "
Su Wu increasingly felt that there were all kinds of secrets hidden in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. He did not want to waste time here discussing the scriptures with the various phantoms left by Xuanzang, so he directly used the "Secret Bound Buddhism" classic method of analyzing scriptures to deal with Xuanzang. Various sutras left behind by the phantom.
The young Xuanzang was struck speechless by Su Wu's theory of the Three Secrets. After a while, he sighed, clasped his hands to Su Wu again, and said: "This theory of the Three Secrets seems to be nonsense, but in fact it is It makes some sense...
Is this theory your own creation?
If you didn't create it yourself, but were created by Buddhist disciples later - such a three-secret true vehicle may be able to overwhelm Mahayana Buddhism in future generations..."
Su Wu glanced at Xuanzang.
Xuanzang was wise, and what he said was true. After the emergence of Tantric Buddhism, it directly overshadowed the two schools of Mahayana and Hinayana. Until later generations, there are countless delusional people who believe in Tantra.
After the young Xuanzang paused for a moment, he looked up at Su Wu again, his eyes full of seriousness. He said to Su Wu: "This Tantric practice seems to be about cultivating Buddhism, but in fact it is about cultivating demons. It seems to be a way to achieve enlightenment." Empty, in fact, it is true. If the practice of Buddhism is deviant, it will lead to endless disasters.
But I can’t let you go——”
"Bah! Zah!"
Before young Xuanzang finished speaking, the sexual light above Su Wu's head suddenly erupted. A stream of scarlet flames rushed out from the sexual light above his head, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into three-headed and four-armed Yamantaka - this statue was created by Su. The Yamantaka Vajra, which was simulated by the Wu Xing intention, trampled down towards the young Xuanzang!
Boom!
The raging fire of fearful karma followed the three four-armed Yamantaka steps down, and then rolled down!
Xuanzang dissipated like a bubble at the foot of the Yamantaka, and the steps emerged from the darkness. At the same time, the illusory lotus light of the lotus petals above Su Wu suddenly condensed into an almost real image. When the lotus petals came out, his Dharma nature was faintly touched, and he looked at the rolls of bay leaf scriptures around him -
The Sanskrit words on the scriptures flowed into the void, and were faintly connected to the lotus petals condensed on the sex-light lotus above his head.
Su Wu withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes, and walked down the third floor of the tower.
