Chapter 316 Looking back to see that the shore is empty
The mouth was shouting and the body was jumping, Shiliu was very happy.
Xiang Liu didn't know why, so he asked Su Jing, "What's wrong with it?"
Su Jing understood what was going on and said with a smile: "It's the 15th day of the seventh lunar month. Today is the Hungry Ghost Festival. Master 16 is celebrating the festival, so he is naturally happy."
According to the folk customs of the Han people in the East, the Ghost Festival is also called the Ghost Festival. It is said that "on the half of July, the gate of ghosts opens". According to legend, the gates of ghosts open at midnight on this day, allowing lonely and wild ghosts to wander around the world, hence the legend.
There are countless, countless taboos. Putting aside these and not pursuing them, it is only the midnight of July 15th, which is indeed the time of the year when the evil spirits are the strongest.
Xiaoyin has an unclear relationship with the underworld. He likes yin by nature, and he is extremely happy at this time of year.
It's the 'Festive Festival', and it's a water monster that can swim in the sea again. It's even happier now, and it's more noisy than in previous years.
The little snake jumped happily, but it didn't delay its way. Su Jing just let it play by itself.
The Ghost Festival in China is also the Moye Ghost Festival.
The little demon girl refused to listen and fell to the ground, her body curled up, her body trembling uncontrollably, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed, and her expression was painful.
There are no stars and moon in the sky, there is no life on the ground, the world is only boundless silence and darkness, she is in Moye.
Before Lan Qi ascended to heaven, except for a few personal treasures, everything else was given to Bu Ting, including the jade-skinned egg and the technique to promote it.
The little witch couldn't help but asked Granny Qiu for help, and practiced the use of jade-skinned eggs. She once again broke through the two realms and sent herself to her hometown.
It doesn't make sense, she doesn't even know what she is going to do if she doesn't listen to her. She just wants to come and see. She thinks she already knows the truth and can hold back her heartache when she comes back. If she doesn't listen, she thinks too highly of herself.
She couldn't fly for a while after entering the world, and she couldn't stand for too long after landing. The last Moye woman in the world, in this world, fell to the ground, feeling extremely distressed!
I just want to cry loudly, but my eyes are so dry and almost withered that I can't shed tears; my throat is so stuffy that it's hard to breathe, so how can I cry out in pain! I don't want to cry, but I can't cry. There's no way to describe it in words.
sad.
The last time I came to Moye, she went crazy, fainted, and was heartbroken, but there was another person beside her at that time who helped her, saved her, and comforted her.
Bu Ting came alone this time, and no one cared about her. Maybe it was for this reason that Bu Ting began to miss Su Jing.
I don’t know how much time passed, but I still couldn’t cry without listening. I missed her even more, and I went crazy thinking about it.
Su Jing didn't know whether to listen to the current situation, he was frowning: Sixteen got carried away when he was making trouble.
The little thing looks inconspicuous, but it is a well-known and terrifying monster in this world. When it gets carried away with its happiness, what happens to this vast ocean is: a collapse of the sky and a tsunami!
The strange scream suddenly turned into a mighty wind and thunder, soaring into the sky; it jumped wildly, and every time it jumped up, it swayed like a huge mountain, and every time it fell, it smashed into the sea pit hundreds of miles deep, and in an instant, the stars and the moon were noisy.
There is no light and the ocean is turbulent.
As soon as it stirred up, the fish, shrimps, crabs and clams in this sea area also suffered great misfortune. They were swept up by the giant * and whirlpool, and rolled around unable to control themselves.
Xiao Xiangliu said to Su Jing: "Let it stop now. This kind of movement may summon monsters to patrol the sea, trying to cause trouble."
Of course Su Jing understood this, but the little snake was having fun and couldn't bring it down with the Great Holy Jue for a while. It took a lot of effort and he didn't include it in the token in the end, but Shiliu was still persuaded and restrained himself.
Juli.
The sea quickly calmed down, but unexpectedly, just after it had been quiet for a moment, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared a hundred miles ahead. The roaring and turbulent water stirred up the smell of the sea. The fish and shrimps caught in it had no chance to sink to the bottom, and were trapped inside.
The huge force shatters the body!
Shiliu, a monster who knows no worries, is not afraid of rejoicing when he sees something. He flicks the tip of his tail and rushes forward so fast that Su Jing has no time to stop him. He follows the little snake into the whirlpool and spins around in circles with the angry tide.
The huge whirlpool, which was more than ten miles away, was spinning almost crazily. It took only three or two breaths to rotate in one circle. Every time Shiliu came to the position facing Su Jing, he would jump up and scream, calling Su Jing and Xiaoxiang Liu Kuai.
Look over quickly, and then throw yourself back with great pride
After a while, in the angry sea ahead, a black, red, and blue giant shrimp with a body of a hundred feet away rose from the sea, with several small shrimp soldiers following behind him.
The shrimp's long beard swayed and its legs bounced, causing the vortex to rotate even more violently. Immediately, the group of monsters transformed and began to transform into human forms. The leader screamed and spoke a Buddha's name in front of him: "I am the Buddha who is compassionate and saves all living beings!"
After announcing the call, he cursed: "Where did the damned forgetful benefactor who was cut into pieces with a thousand cuts come from? He disturbed your grandpa Nana's recitation of Buddha's salvation, and caused the three hundred kilograms of fish to die and be unable to rebirth in bliss. What crime should be committed!"
Su Jing and Xiao Xiangliu looked at each other. They had lived wonderful lives in the first half of their lives and had encountered countless powerful enemies, but neither of them had ever heard of such a nondescript insult.
When the scolding stopped, Xiazi had transformed into an ugly man with a head as sharp as a chisel and a face as narrow as four fingers.
With such a face shape, it goes without saying much about his appearance. The strange thing is that this monster turned out to be a monk, wearing a bright red cassock, with one hundred and eight wishful beads hanging around his neck, and even a few incense sticks on his pointed bald head.
scar.
The little shrimp soldiers behind him also turned into human forms, but they were not complete enough because of their lack of practice. They turned into monsters wearing novice monk robes but with a shrimp head on their head, which looked very weird.
The leader, Monk Xia, also saw the person coming clearly at this time, with obvious surprise on his face: "You are so ugly!" Then he turned around and asked Erlang: "What day is it today? It is rare to see such an ugly person, why are you suddenly here today?"
Two appear?"
"Reporting to the abbot, in the middle of July, the gate of ghosts opens, and today is the Ghost Festival." Xiao Xia novice calculated the date.
The shrimp monk nodded, his expression seemed relieved.
Being scolded by the ugly monster, Su Jing and Xiao Xiangliu looked at each other with helpless expressions. Xiao Xiangliu was also in human form now, and with Monk Xia's ability, he still couldn't see through his true form.
Xiao Xiangliu suddenly raised his head, took a long breath, and after a moment smiled at Su Jing and said: "These shrimps taste good, I'll treat you to them."
Su Jing shook his head. He was not afraid of trouble, but he would not easily fight such a bully for no reason. It was because Sixteen was presumptuous. Su Jing smiled at the shrimp monk and said, "We brothers are just passing by a treasured place. The children around us get carried away on a whim.
Please forgive me for stirring up the sea water and disturbing the master's purification."
Sixteen is a water-moving body, but it is not a sea monster. The shrimp monk did not recognize it and did not even pay attention to the little snake that was still rolling and playing in the whirlpool.
After hearing this, the shrimp monk looked at Su Jing up and down with his soybean-sized eyes. He was reasonable and felt relieved after he apologized: "That's it, you go! But you'd better cover your face when you're on your way."
If you go further, you will pass by the territory of Xie Toutuo, Shan layman, and old nun Zhang. They are not as profound in Dharma and compassionate as Lao Na. When they see such ugly people like you two, they might be able to use magic to eliminate demons."
Su Jing smiled and said, "Thank you, Master, for reminding me."
The shrimp monk waved his skinny arms and said, "Go ahead."
After saying that, a group of sea fairies turned around and wanted to leave, but Su Jing had seen his appearance and heard his words, and another thought arose in his mind, and he hurriedly called out: "Master, stay here. I just heard the master mention the practice of Buddhism."
Monk Xia regained his balance and said, "Yes, I practice Buddhism. Why, do you also understand Buddhism?"
Behind the great monk, a little shrimp novice said: "Within this area of three thousand miles, there is no living creature in the sea. My abbot has practiced so profoundly that he is close to the great road!"
Without any proof, another novice monk gave an example: "My abbot eats three hundred kilograms of fish every day. After each meal, he spends half an hour dedicated to chanting sutras to save the souls of the dead and go to the Western Paradise. In this way, he worships the Buddha.
This shows how pious you are, how many people in the world can be as good as you!"
Monk Xia smiled slightly and was quite humble: "Compared to Old Crab and Eel, I have been meditating for more years, so my understanding is naturally more. But if you go to the far sea in the west, there are countless eminent monks and great virtues, and I have this little practice
It’s not worth mentioning. I heard that there was an old turtle layman in the deep sea of the West. Every time he ate a meal, he would chant sutras for three hours to relieve his hunger. He had a huge appetite and spent the whole day doing nothing but eating.
If you don't do other things, you will be so pious that I will be ashamed of myself."
As he said that, Monk Xia took a long breath and clasped his palms together: "Practice diligently, there is no end, and there should never be a moment to stop. If there is a way, the Dharma is boundless. Look back, look back."
Monk Xia's original intention was that the Dharma is boundless and practice is endless. However, it was the first time in his life that he gave a sermon to people who were not Xiao Xiami. He somehow added the phrase "turn back and find the shore". Finally, he reacted quickly and stopped the last two words in time.
But 'Turn Back' has already been released, and no matter how you follow it up, it will be ridiculous.
Listening to Monk Xia's endless "turning around", Su Jing also felt sad for him and tried to smooth things over for him: "Master's intention is that Buddhism is boundless. Looking back, it's all in vain."
The shore is empty, and I will just swim in the sea of Buddhism in this life. The shrimp monk was stunned for a moment at first, and then nodded happily: "Yes, yes, this is exactly what I meant! It turns out that the donor also understands Buddhism. It couldn't be better. Again.
Please give me some advice!"
Su Jing smiled and shook his head: "I don't know anything about Buddhism. I only understand it through the master's guidance. I would like to ask the master, do all the spiritual beings in this western sea practice Buddhism?"
"Almost, I can't say it's all, but I want to study Buddhism and enlightenment in Chengdu." Monk Xia nodded his pointed head.
Su Jing asked again: "Master, where does the inheritance of Buddhism in this sea come from? But has any eminent monk ever come here to preach and teach?"
This time Monk Xiami shook his head: "How can anyone come to preach, and how can we use people to preach? If we don't mention others, let's just talk about Lao Monk. My father, my grandfather, and my ancestors have been practicing Buddhism since they were born. I don't know how many generations."
"There is no special inheritance. After birth and understanding, you will naturally become a Buddhist?" Su Jing asked.
"That's right." Monk Xia confirmed Su Jing's words. For the sea monsters in this area, practicing Buddhism is just like swimming in the water. It is a natural thing. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, novels are better.
