Chapter 6 Before the Bodhisattva came into existence
Su Cheng walked around his home but found no human skin and blood books, and there were no traces of anyone coming to read them. He knew that it was not a thief, but probably a human skin became a spirit, so he made a decision in his heart.
run.
After packing up valuable belongings, he left the door directly before the sun set. Of course, before leaving, Su Cheng still locked the door tightly.
The human blood book involves the ancestor of the Styx, which has undergone strange changes. If he still stays at home, Su Cheng is afraid of a strange disaster, so he has to leave the place of right and wrong first and then look for the future.
"This matter is strange and should not involve friends."
Walking on the street, Su Cheng thought to himself.
Even if Sucheng is short of money on weekdays, he will hold on to it with his arms and refuse to ask for help. Nowadays, human affairs are still confused and he is unwilling to involve disasters.
"Let's stay at the inn tonight for one night?"
Su Cheng thought about it, but after deducting the money in his hand and calculating his food expenses, Su Cheng felt a little reluctant.
"It's better to go to the Cihang Taoist Temple to avoid it."
Su Cheng made a decision in his heart.
Cihang Taoist Temple is one of the mysterious gates in the world. It has a lot of incense in Chu State. Even in the capital of Chu State, there is also a Taoist temple. It covers a spacious area and has a very strong temperament. The abbot of the Taoist Temple is a charitable person, spreads good relationships, and always offers porridge. When traveling merchants arrive in Ying City, they cannot find a place to stay. Taoist temples can accommodate for three or five days, and there is no cash collection.
Su Cheng walked to the front of Cihang Taoist Temple like this.
Cihang Taoist Temple is five miles north of the imperial city. The terrain is flat, with green trees on both sides. The overall building is blue-gray. After entering through the mountain gate, there are five towers and twelve pavilions. These five towers are towers built in the direction of gold, wood, water, fire, earth and the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, and are filled with murals describing past events.
The twelve floor pavilions are the twelve golden immortals of the Academic Sect, namely Guangchengzi, Chi Jingzi, Huanglong Zhenren, Yuliu Sun, Taiyi Zhenren, Lingbao Master, Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun, Samantabhadra Realm, Jade Ding Zhenren, Taoist Heavenly Venerable, Qingxu Daode Tianren, and Cihang Taoist who was submissive to the Three Pure Land in these halls.
"Recently, there are too many people staying in our Taoist temple. The rooms are already full. Even in the corridor, there are many people sleeping at night. The abbot said that there will be no one to accept now."
The Taoist Zhike stopped Su Cheng in front of the door and spoke.
In Taoism, the abbot is the title of the highest leader of the jungle in the ten directions. He has received three great precepts and received lawyers to preach the Dharma. His precepts are strict and respectful, and he is supported by many Taoist priests.
"My little master, I'm here from all over the world and want to pay homage to the gods. Look at me, I'm sincere, let me go in and burn some incense."
Su Cheng's tongue was slightly raised, and his accent was very different from that in Yingcheng. He completely transformed himself into "locals" and then he could get in.
This Zhike Taoist priest is like a security guard in later generations, guarding a door. As long as Su Cheng sneaks in, then no matter what, it is impossible for the Zhike Taoist priest at the door to manage.
Anyway, there are people sleeping in the corridor now, so there are not many Suchengs.
The Taoist Master Zhike frowned when he heard Su Cheng’s accent, then let Su Cheng go and said, “It’s better to leave after burning the incense. There are too many foreigners like you recently.”
"I know..."
Su Cheng agreed repeatedly and walked inside.
As the sun is approaching dusk, there are still people coming and going in the Cihang Taoist Temple, and the incense is flourishing.
Sucheng went to the guest room first and wanted to register a registration here, but as Zhike Taoist said, it was already full of people, and there were about ten people in each guest room, silent. When Sucheng walked here to watch, these people were also quietly looking at Sucheng.
The atmosphere was quite strange for a moment.
"Haha, haha..."
Su Cheng laughed apologetically and was secretly shocked.
According to his eyesight, it was naturally possible to see that all the people gathered here were foreign soldiers, and even the few people who snatched him the braised pork yesterday.
Groups of soldiers came here to gather without following the military rules, for fear of planning something, and the Cihang Taoist Temple suddenly became a place of right and wrong.
"I'm here to burn incense..."
Su Cheng spoke foreign language and said as if he was lost, he answered the Taoist priest who came to interrogate.
"The main hall is in that direction."
The Taoist boy guided Su Cheng to the main hall.
“Yes, yes…”
Su Cheng nodded repeatedly, just thinking that he was a passerby and headed towards the main hall.
It is not advisable to stay in a place of right and wrong for a long time.
Someone at home ran out, and it seemed that Cihang Daoguan was not peaceful. Su Cheng thought that after raising incense for Taoist Cihang, he would rather find an inn to stay for a night.
Cihang Taoist Temple does not collect incense money, and there are incense next to the statues of the gods. As long as sincere believers come here, they can burn incense and worship.
“Save all living beings…”
There are four big characters written on the plaque above the main hall, and below is the statue of Taoist Cihang.
The statue is solemn, with serious eyebrows and eyes, and a lotus step on, holding a sword in his hand.
This will be Guanyin Bodhisattva in the future.
Su Cheng looked at it twice. In the Romance of the Gods, Cihang was a ruthless person, who was decisive in killing. In the Conquest of the Gods, he was called "Brother Tao" and "Master" and should be a male body, but Su Cheng looked at this statue of the gods and looked at it with a female appearance.
Guanyin Bodhisattva is the appearance of a man's body and a woman.
Su Cheng's heart was in a mess, but his appearance was very upright. He held incense in his hand and recited the magic mantra of purifying the mouth: "The god of the elixir is pursed, and the god of the tongue is correct, and the god of the tongue is connected to the mind to nourish the spirit. Luo Qiantou is the god of evil, but the god of the throat is the tiger, and the god of the qi leads to the body. The god of the mind makes me understand the true. The god of the mind refines liquid, and the Taoist qi will last forever."
After reciting the magic mantra of the mouth, he prayed to Taoist Cihang and said, "I am a mortal, and I have recently collided with ghosts and gods. I have been lucky enough to see the immortals give me mercy and can point out a clear way for my disciples."
Su Cheng inserted the incense and looked at the statue of Cihang with his eyes.
This statue is solemn, with a loving eyes drooping, and there is no abnormality.
never mind……
Su Cheng thought of the Guanyin worshipping him and telling others that it is better to seek others than to ask for others. Today he came to Cihang Taoist Temple. He wanted to sleep in a place, but later he saw foreign soldiers and then came to the scene, and he didn't have much sincerity in his heart.
"Create your own blessings and gain your own blessings."
Su Cheng shook his head and walked out the door.
"Amitabha……"
A Buddhist chant came outside the door. From a distance, Su Cheng heard a voice, and the monk shouted: "He was too agile and saw that the blood divine skin was gone, so he ran away immediately. Now he doesn't know where he went."
Isn’t this the voice of the monk from last night?
What is the Blood Divine Skin? Did he say this to me?
In an instant, Su Cheng's heart turned like lightning.
