My Opinion in Gensokyo
Chapter 28 Monks and Monsters
() Thinking of this, Shang Yang shifted his gaze to the front left of the ship he was on, where there was a large ship much larger than Shang Yang's, which was the core of the Dongdu fleet this time. The Dharma-propagating boat chosen by the sage himself for Monk Jianzhen, Dharma, is based on the meaning of Bodhidharma's trip to the east to preach in China.
Monk Jianzhen and his disciples were on that boat. Now, Jianzhen should be in the cabin and chant scriptures with his disciples.
Looking at the brightly lit big ship, Shang Yang couldn't help thinking of the scene when he met Monk Jianzhen in Yangzhou half a year ago, who had already failed five times to sail eastward.
Half a year ago. Yangzhou Daming Temple
Glancing at the majestic temple in front of him, Shang Yang stepped into the temple, and there was nothing he could do if he didn't leave. Today is the day when the leader of the Jiangnan monks, Monk Jianzhen, opened an altar to preach, and Shang Yang couldn't stand at the door either. The common people were all rushing in, and Shang Yang could only enter the temple with the flow of people.
However, although many people came, once they entered the temple, they all spontaneously shut their mouths tightly and walked towards the Fatai as quietly as possible.
The altar is set in the open square directly in front of the main hall of the Daming Temple. Stone bricks are paved on the ground, forming a gray-white ground.
Shang Yang also found a random place and sat cross-legged, waiting for Jianzhen to appear.
Not long after, with the ringing of the bell in the temple, people's spirits lifted and they looked at the altar one after another.
Shang Yang also turned his attention to the Dharma platform, and saw the 66-year-old, blind monk Jianzhen in a red cassock, under the guidance of his disciples, went up to the Dharma platform, sat cross-legged, and folded his hands together.
"Namo Amitabha~"
The long and energetic Buddha's name echoed in the temple. After people heard it, they put their hands together and recited the Buddha's name.
Shang Yang was like everyone else, and then he carefully looked at Jianzhen on the altar.
Although Monk Jianzhen looked older, there was no gloomy look on his face as if he had failed five times to cross the east. On the contrary, he became more benevolent, giving Shang Yang the illusion that he was looking at the statue of Tathagata in the temple.
"Monk Jianzhen's Dharma is getting more and more profound." Touching his chin, Shang Yang said in admiration, "Has the five trips to the east in the past 12 years made him feel something?"
"At that time, Zhengfaming Tathagata made a great vow, wishing to relieve the suffering of all living beings, and transform into Guanshiyin Bodhisattva..."
"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, for countless kalpas, has achieved great compassion and great compassion, benefiting all living beings. In the sea of life and death, he is used as a boat, and in the long night of ignorance, he is used as a lamp. Constantly watching the sound of the holy name, there is no pain, no pain, no pain. Not happy."
"Therefore it is called Namo Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Avalokitesvara..."
Monk Jianzhen was full of energy and spoke softly, he began to explain to everyone in detail, everyone heard the peace of mind, and they were all in a peaceful state.
"Talking about Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, Monk Jianzhen is saying that he must spread the Dharma."
Shang Yang thought carefully in his heart, and after Jianzhen finished his teaching and everyone left the temple one by one, Shang Yang stood up and walked forward a few steps, clasped his hands together and said to one of Jianzhen's disciples.
"I also ask the master to inform Yu that Yu wants to discuss with Master Jianzhen about the matter of going east."
Daming Temple. Meditation Room
"Master has traveled to the east five times in the past 12 years, all of which ended in failure." Shang Yang put down the teacup in his hand and smiled at the old monk in front of him, "Master still does not change his mind about traveling to the east?"
Jianzhen heard the words, smiled lightly, clasped his hands together, "I will not change."
"The poor monk still remembers that when the poor monk was 14 years old, he and his father stepped into the Dayun Temple to worship the Buddha. The compassionate appearance of the Buddha made the poor monk curious about Buddhism. Now that the Dharma is not enough in Dongying, the poor monk should go there so that the living beings there can learn the Dharma."
"So, the poor monk should go."
Upon hearing this, Shang Yang looked at the blind old monk with a benevolent face for a long time, then put his palms together and said peacefully.
"May the Buddha bless the master with a safe journey and good luck."
When he came back to his senses, in Shang Yang's eyes, the big ship was still brightly lit.
Eleven District. Fukuoka
Shang Yang, Ai and Hui Ye got off the big boat and were about to return to Mount Yoshino.
Suddenly, a monk came in front of the three of them, clasping his hands together.
"Shangyang benefactor, my teacher is really welcome."
inside the cabin
The monk led the three of Shangyang into the cabin. The old monk with a compassionate and peaceful face was sitting on the beard bed, holding a rosary, and chanting sutras in a low voice.
"Master, the Shangyang benefactor is waiting for guests." The monk put his hands together and told Jianzhen.
Jianzhen stopped chanting, nodded, and the monk saluted Jianzhen, then retreated by himself.
"Shang benefactor, I would also like to thank the benefactor for helping the poor monk to cross the east successfully."
After the monk withdrew, Monk Jianzhen thanked Shangyang in a peaceful tone.
"Don't dare to do it. This is what the master sincerely does. Only when gold and stone are opened, can the eastward journey be successful."
Shang Yang stepped forward, sat cross-legged on the futon not far in front of Jianzhen and laughed.
"The benefactor was joking," Jianzhen said with a faint smile, and now he seems to have somewhat realized the Dharma of the Tathagata Buddha back then.
"The poor monk has nothing to repay. The poor monk saw that one of the two female benefactors next to the benefactor was quite dark. Although he didn't know why the benefactor did not get rid of it for the benefactor, the poor monk could only let it go It was a gift from the rosary held by Master Xuanzang when he went west in the year of the year."
As he said that, Jianzhen, who was blind in both eyes, took off the rosary in his hand and handed it in the direction of love.
Ai looked at the old monk with clarity in his blood-red eyes, and gently stepped forward to take it.
"Thank you, Master." Seeing Ai take the rosary, Shang Yang smiled, looked at Jian Zhen and said.
"It's a trivial matter." Jian Zhen shook his head, "The benefactor has helped the poor monk a lot, why should I thank you?"
"This place in Yingzhou is no better than Zhongtu, Master still needs to take care."
"Thank you for the reminder, benefactor." Jianzhen clasped his hands together, "Half a year ago, benefactor, I wished the poor monk a safe journey and good luck."
"Now, the poor monk also wishes the benefactor's family a safe life and good luck."
Mount Yoshino. Hot spring resort
Back at their home, the three of them heaved a sigh of relief at the same time, and they felt the most real at home.
"By the way, Shang Yang," Hui Ye suddenly turned to look at Shang Yang, and said with a smile, "That old monk actually saw that you are not a simple businessman."
"What's so strange," Shang Yang took it for granted, "Monk Jianzhen has the top cultivation base among human beings. Although the cultivation of human beings and non-human beings is different, he can also detect the obscure aura in me. "
"He saw the realm in me." Love said softly.
Shang Yang looked at the rosary beads on Ai's left wrist, and then at the two rattles tied on Ai's right wrist. With a flash of inspiration, he reached out to hold Ai's hands, let her sit next to him, and began to help She took off the rattle from her right wrist, and the rosary from Love's left wrist.
"Shangyang, what's the matter?" Ai asked curiously.
Suddenly being held by Shang Yang in front of Hui Ye, Ai was a little uncomfortable, but she was even more surprised what Shang Yang was going to do.
Shang Yang didn't answer her either, just holding a rosary in one hand and a rattle in the other, and Hui Ye came over curiously.
The power of the two instruments turns, and the separate rosary and rattle are merged into a whole, the two instruments of "merging" and "separation".
Picking up the new rosary tied with a rattle, Shang Yang held Ai's little white hand, put it on Ai's right wrist, and smiled at Ai.
"Isn't it much nicer this way?"
Ai raised his right wrist, looked carefully at the rosary with a rattle on it, and nodded knowingly.
"Shangyang is very careful." Hui Ye covered his mouth and smiled, "By the way, I will go to Ghost City tonight, I miss that barbecue stall a little bit."
Ghost City is the original ruins of Fujiwarakyo, because it was first occupied by ghosts from hell. Although many monsters moved in later, it is still named after Ghost City. This inhuman city is closer. Nian has become a gathering place and trading place for nearby non-human beings. Its order is still maintained by the big ghosts of the ghost clan who came at first. Shang Yang has seen them. The more powerful monsters are shoulder to shoulder, but there is still some gap from the top of the monster where Shangyang is.
Night. Ghost City
Shang Yang, Ai, and Hui Ye rode the flying carriage from Yoshino Mountain all the way to the original Fujiwarakyo ruins, and now the ghosts are running. This flying carriage was the prop used by the director Taketori Guiyue back then. The sheep did not leave it idle, but used it as a means of transportation for three people to travel. The disadvantage is that driving it consumes a lot of demon power, and it is better to fly over it for a long distance.Therefore, it is only used nearby and is not commonly used.
Close to the original Nancheng Gate, Guidu is now a place where the realm of the human world and the realm of hell are confused, and it can only be entered through the Rashomon Gate, the Nancheng Gate.
There were a few ghosts guarding the city gate. When they saw the carriage flying from low altitude and the person in the gray and white green lotus coat sitting in the original carriage driving position, they opened the city gate. Shangyang's popularity in the Ghost City is pretty good. Speaking of which, the establishment of the Ghost City is due to Shangyang's Fujiwarakyo fire. the city of monsters.The big ghosts who manage the ghost capital have generally had banquets with Shangyang, and they also have some friendship.
Entering the ghost city, the atmosphere of the outside world seems to disappear, and the gloomy underground atmosphere rises in the ruins of the city, but the city is still very lively, brightly lit, and all kinds of inhumans are pulling their hands. The stalls were hawking along the street, and Shang Yang knew that in some remote places there were still ogre monsters hawking human flesh and blood, which was helpless.For ogres, cannibalism is a necessary condition for their survival.
As for why Shang Yang knew, it was purely because some ogre monsters invited him to a banquet. Shang Yang felt the pressure was huge. The monsters also feel very sorry.
However, most of the vendors are normal, such as this barbecue stall that Hui Ye and Ai both like.
Parking the carriage in front of the stall, Shang Yang jumped out of the cart, approached and casually greeted the stall owner.
"Hey, bull ghost, I haven't seen you in a few months, how is the business?"
The owner of this barbecue stall is a bull ghost, also in the form of a human being, rolling the barbecue in his hand. When he saw Shang Yang, he hurried out from behind the stall and greeted Shang Yang warmly.
"Master Shangyang, I haven't seen you for a few months. Please sit down quickly. Miss Hui Ye and Miss Ai are here too. Please sit down. I'll serve you meat here."
Kaguya and Ai also opened the curtain, jumped out of the car, came over and sat down.
After a while, the delicious barbecue was brought in front of the three by the bull ghost. Shang Yang picked up a skewer of meat and chatted with the bull ghost casually while eating.
"Niugui, how's the business these past few months?"
"Thanks to Mr. Shangyang, my business has been very good in the past few months. The big ghosts who manage the city have all been here."
Speaking of business, this bull ghost is very happy. It seems that, as he said, he has made a lot of money recently.
Human currency is commonly used among monsters. In fact, for most monsters, coins are not very useful. Monsters pay attention to freedom, and they basically have no fixed place to live.
"I see." Shang Yang nodded thoughtfully, and continued to eat the barbecue.
"I wish your business will continue to be good."
ps: Regarding some of the questions, the author Sang will update the interpretation of the plot in two days. In fact, there is no need to be so serious. The so-called "enchantment that facilitates the development of the plot"~ (laughs
Today's part is a bit small, in fact, it's just because the author Sang feels that he has encountered a problem, and the latter paragraph has not been written for the time being, it is a problem of a branch of the plot.
