With a nervous mood, Daoming no longer had the pleasure he had when he revealed his true body and attracted everyone's worship. He had to find his father quickly and ask for the reason. If there was nothing special, he would go directly to the Western Buddhist Kingdom and seize the time to see him. Sala Tree King Bodhisattva, I will avoid long nights and many dreams.
If the Venerable Kassapa reveals his true form in the world of mortals, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva will definitely tell the Buddhist kingdom about the breakdown of the relationship between master and disciple. In that case, he will really become a deceiver and destroyer of his ancestors. He has been expelled from the master's sect and is a deviant. If he wants to roam around in the Buddhist Kingdom of the West, he may not have a chance.
Jiuhua Mountain is known as the One Hundred and Eight Temples. Daoming visited every temple as fast as he could. He found no trace of his father, nor any trace of wandering souls ingesting incense. It was as if his father had not come at all. Live the same.
It stands to reason that my father is returning to his own monastery on behalf of Ksitigarbha. Whether it is from nostalgia or the teachings of Buddhism, he should be eating incense in every temple. After all, this is an honor, but why Can't find it at all?
Daoming thought secretly in his heart, the more this happens, the more suspicious it seems.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Is it true that Immortal was right, that my father did have some hidden agenda when he returned to Yang this time?¡±
While hesitating, Daoming suddenly thought of a place to go. That is the Jizo Cave located on the cliff near the top of the mountain.
This Ksitigarbha Cave was the first place of practice for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva when he settled in Jiuhua Mountain, and it was also the place where he gave his last sermon before he was enthroned. In other words, this cave has a deep connection with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. If the Father comes back If you choose to live quietly in seclusion, this place is the most suitable.
Thinking of this, Daoming didn't hesitate too much and went straight to the mountain.
After a quick walk, the familiar Jizo Cave appeared in front of us.
This cave has not changed much after thousands of years. In front of the cave, there are still lush trees and green bamboos, which are exquisite and charming. There are gurgling clear springs and countless strange rocks in the cave. The entrance of the cave faces the northeast and the inner hall faces the southwest, which means facing the west when worshiping the Buddha.
When he thought about how many years ago, he had served his master here, practiced hard in the Three Nines, and experienced the three volts, but now, the relationship between master and disciple has been exhausted, and each has chosen his own path, Daoming is still a little sad.
"Master, Master, please don't blame me. If you do, blame yourself for not making progress. If you had become a Buddha as soon as possible in these thousands of years, wouldn't I have been able to become a Bodhisattva? Why should master and disciple turn against each other today? . In the end, it¡¯s all your fault.¡± Dao Ming stood at the entrance of the cave and murmured to himself: ¡°Besides, I have served you for so long, so I have exhausted my benevolence and righteousness, so just let it go.¡±
Daoming jumped up, climbed up the wall, and entered the cave entrance.
What hits your face is a special scent of incense.
Daoming suddenly felt happy, his father was indeed here.
This incense is not ordinary incense, but Sumeru incense mixed with Jinbala flowers. It does not exist in the Eastern world. It is a product of the Buddhist country.
Since the incense is lit here, it means that the father is indeed back.
"The pines and cypresses are evergreen, the longevity is healthy, and the spring is immortal. My father, the immortal man, father, Dao Ming is here!" Dao Ming said loudly as he walked towards the cave.
There is a small gray-white hall in this cave. In the main hall, a statue of Ksitigarbha is enshrined. In front of the hall, there is an incense burner and a seven-story pagoda. The wonderful incense in the incense burner is emitting green smoke, and the incense head has only burned an inch. This shows that there were people worshiping Buddha here just now.
However, my father is not in the palace.
Daoming didn¡¯t see his father, so he took a closer look at the Buddhist altar. Behind the Bodhisattva statue, there was only the statue of his father, Duke Min, but his own statue was missing
Daoming couldn't help but frowned and thought to himself, these juniors are so rude, how dare they not worship him?
However, when I took a closer look, I discovered that there was a statue of myself here, but it had been thrown into the ashes of the incense burner
"Father, you must have done this. I am your son, but you want to fry me and refine me!" Dao Ming couldn't help but get angry when he saw his statue being burned in the incense burner and it was about to turn into ashes. The one above yelled: "What benefits did Ksitigarbha give you? You hate even your own bones."
Seeing that Min Gong didn't respond to him, Daoming became more and more angry. He simply raised his hand and struck the cave with his diamond fingers.
The force of his palm collided with the rock wall with a rumble, and the exploded rocks fell. After a while, the beautiful Buddhist altar was completely changed by him!
"boom!"
Suddenly, the last palm wind struck, and there was only a muffled sound, but the rock was intact.
Dao Ming smiled proudly and said: "I asked why I didn't see anyone, but it turned out to be hidden in a small seal. Father, your unfilial son sees you coming, and you really don't want to see me."??? Such a small barrier may not be able to prevent our father and son from reuniting! "
Daoming said, facing that direction, he began to recite the Knot-breaking Mantra, and at the same time, he pressed his hands together to inhale the wind.
Boom!
With a roar, Daoming finally got his wish, relying on his own internal strength to break the hidden barrier.
I saw Mr. Min sitting in the corner, his eyes closed, and he was reciting the "Ksitigarbha's Original Vow Sutra" silently, as if he had not seen Dao Ming at all.
"Father, you are always in such good spirits. You can still learn from my slapstick." Daoming bowed slightly and said with a smile: "As expected, you are Master's favorite disciple."
"That's my master, it has nothing to do with you anymore!" Min Gong said coldly: "You evildoer, you still have the nerve to return to your hometown?"
"Father, please tell me, why can't I come back?" Daoming smiled and said, "This is your hometown, and it is also my hometown. Now that I have been conferred the title of Daoming Bodhisattva, shouldn't I return to my hometown with honor? Why don't I have the face to do so? ?¡±
"Disgusting!" Min Gong said disdainfully: "All the laws of heaven and earth belong to one person, Tathagata. Only the title conferred by Tathagata can be the title of the Buddha. I am afraid that you, a Bodhisattva, can do anything for cats and dogs. You are also worthy of calling yourself a great Bodhisattva. I simply don't like it. Gagging.¡±
"What's wrong with Tathagata? Tathagata is not a born Buddha. Who can say that he will not be a new Buddha in the future?" Daoming waved his hand and said: "Okay, it's rare for father and son to meet each other, and when there are no other people, we shouldn't Can a father be kind and a son should be filial? Why are you quarreling over others?"
"That is none other than our master!" Min Gong shouted: "You deceived the master and destroyed the ancestors, and scattered all human relations. You are not my child at all, not now, nor in the future. Please respect yourself."
Daoming saw that the old man was out of touch, and immediately became angry: "It's up to you. If you think of me as a villain, I'm a villain. I don't care. I came back this time to ask you, how did you leave that old man?" The monk returned to Yang alone. Did he give you some task? "
"Get out!" Min Gong said disdainfully.
Daoming narrowed his eyes and said quietly: "You were worshiping the Buddha just now, and when you saw me coming, you made a barrier. Tell me frankly, are you hiding something?"
