The monk went to the birthday banquet
In that far east, there is a misty fairy mountain, and there is an ancient temple on the mountain, called "Qingxuguan". There is a monk who has attained the Tao in the temple, and his Dharma name is "Huiming". Monk Huiming is not only a profound Dharma, but also a Taoist mystic, he walks the world, does good deeds and accumulates virtues, and is quite admired by the people.
One day, the monk Huiming received an invitation from a small village at the foot of the mountain, which was set up by Zhang Yuanwai, the richest man in the village, to celebrate his father's 100th birthday. Zhang Yuanwai's family background is prominent, but he is modest, and he respects Monk Huiming even more. Although the monk Huiming practiced in the meditation all the year round, he also knew the sophistication of human feelings, so he decided to go down the mountain to the banquet.
On the day of the birthday banquet, the weather was fine, and the monk Huiming wore a gray monk's robe and held a prayer bead and walked down the winding mountain road. Along the way, the flowers and birds are singing, the grass and trees are verdant, and it is a peaceful scene. However, Monk Huiming felt a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart, as if something was about to happen.
When I came to Zhang Yuanwai's mansion, I saw that the guests were like clouds, and it was very lively. Seeing the arrival of Monk Huiming, Zhang Yuanwai hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The master is here in the humble house, it is really brilliant. On my father's 100th birthday today, I specially invited the master to come and chant and pray for blessings. Monk Huiming clasped his hands together and said with a slight smile: "Amitabha, may Zhang Gong live a long life and live a long life." ”
At the beginning of the birthday banquet, Zhang Yuanwai led the monk Huiming to the birthday star. I saw this centenarian with a childish face and strong spirits, sitting on the Taishi chair, accepting everyone's congratulations. Monk Huiming looked at it carefully, and suddenly frowned, because he found that the centenarian had new teeth in his mouth.
In Taoist metaphysics, the growth of new teeth in an old man is a vision, often a sign of bad omen. Monk Huiming was shocked, but his face was silent, and he just whispered to Zhang Yuanwai: "Master Zhang, there is a new tooth in Ling Zun's mouth, I am afraid that there is something strange." The poor monk needs to take a closer look before he can assert the good and the bad. ”
When Zhang Yuanwai heard this, his face changed, and he hurriedly introduced Monk Huiming into the inner room. In the inner room, Monk Huiming carefully inspected the centenarian's teeth, only to see that those new teeth were as white as jade, but they exuded a faint black gas. Monk Huiming's heart sank, knowing that this was caused by demonic energy.
He closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and then said to Zhang Yuanwai: "Master Zhang, Ling Zun's illness is extraordinary. This is caused by the invasion of demons, and the demons must be expelled as soon as possible, otherwise there is a fear of life. When Zhang Yuanwai heard this, he immediately panicked, and hurriedly asked, "Does the master have a way?"
Monk Huiming nodded and said, "The poor monk has a method to try. However, it is necessary to light a sesame oil lamp and place it at the head of Ling Zun's bed. Poor monks will chant sutras and pray for blessings, and use Buddhism to suppress evil spirits. Zhang Yuanwai was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered someone to prepare a sesame oil lamp.
After a while, the sesame oil lamp was lit and placed at the head of the bed. Monk Huiming sat cross-legged and closed his eyes and chanted. As the scriptures sounded, the incense lamp emitted a faint golden light, enveloping the entire room in peace.
However, at this moment, the centenarian's face suddenly showed a trace of hideousness. He snapped his eyes open and let out a terrible scream. Immediately after, a black gas erupted from his mouth and rushed straight to the sesame oil lamp.
Seeing this, Monk Huiming's heart tightened, knowing that the demon had begun to fight back. He hurriedly increased the sound of chanting, only to see that the golden light of the sesame oil lamp was even brighter, and a fierce confrontation with the black qi began.
For a moment, the golden light and black gas in the room were intertwined, making a crackling sound. When Zhang Yuanwai and the others saw this, they were so frightened that they hid in the corner. Only the monk Huiming sat still, engrossed in fighting against the demons.
At this moment, the black qi suddenly let out a roar and rushed towards Monk Huiming. Monk Huiming's face changed, but he did not flinch. He clasped his hands together, chanted words in his mouth, and a golden light emitted from his body, colliding with the black qi.
With a loud bang, the black gas was dispersed by the golden light, turning into a puff of green smoke and dissipating into the air. And the centenarian also collapsed limply on the bed, unconscious.
Monk Huiming let out a long breath and stood up. He walked to the side of the bed, checked the centenarian's condition, and then turned to Zhang Yuanwai and said, "Don't worry, Master Zhang, Ling Zun is fine." It's just that although the demon has been dispersed, the residual poison has not been cleared. The poor monk needs to prescribe a prescription and take it for seven days in a row to completely remove the residual poison. ”
Zhang Yuanwai was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered someone to get pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Monk Huiming groaned for a while, and then took up his pen and wrote down a prescription. After writing the prescription, he instructed: "Master Zhang must remember to take the medicine according to the prescription and take it every morning and evening." In addition, it is necessary to strengthen the defense of the mansion to prevent the evil spirit from invading again. ”
Zhang Yuanwai responded one by one, and then personally sent Monk Huiming out of the mansion.
After Monk Huiming left Zhang Yuanwai's mansion, he did not return directly to Qingxuguan, but came to a secluded place in the village. He sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and meditated, reciting the Taoist mantra in his heart, trying to find out the origin of the demon.
After some calculations, Monk Huiming finally discovered that the demon had escaped from an ancient tomb outside the village. That ancient tomb is the tomb of a great demon in ancient times, due to disrepair, the seal was loosened, which gave the big demon an opportunity.
Monk Huiming knew that this matter was not trivial, and if he did not seal the ancient tomb as soon as possible, the demons and evil spirits would surely cause trouble in the world again. So, he decided to go to the ancient tomb and find out.
In the early morning of the next day, Monk Huiming took a few disciples to the ancient tomb outside the village. I saw that the ancient tomb was dilapidated, and the tombstone was covered with moss, giving people an eerie and terrifying feeling.
Monk Huiming took a deep breath, and then led his disciples into the ancient tomb. The tomb was dim, the wind was gusting, and the air was filled with a rancid smell. They walked along the tomb path and soon came to a burial chamber.
There is a sarcophagus in the center of the burial chamber with strange runes carved on it. Monk Huiming could see at a glance that those runes were the forbidden ones that sealed the Great Demon. However, at this moment, a crack had already appeared in the prohibition, and a demonic aura was escaping from the crack.
Monk Huiming immediately stepped forward to check and found that the runes in the forbidden were already a little blurry, and it was obvious that they couldn't support it for long. He hurriedly ordered his disciples to take out the magic weapon and prepare to re-enforce the prohibition.
However, at this moment, a roar suddenly came from the sarcophagus. Immediately after, a black shadow rushed out of the sarcophagus and rushed straight towards Monk Huiming. Monk Huiming had already prepared, and his figure flashed, avoiding the attack of the black shadow. At the same time, with a wave of the magic weapon in his hand, a golden light was emitted and struck towards the black shadow.
The golden light collided with the black shadow in the air, making a loud noise. The shadow was struck by the golden light, let out a terrible scream, and then retreated back into the sarcophagus. However, its power is stronger than before, and the rift in the prohibition is getting bigger and bigger.
Monk Huiming knew that he could not delay any longer, and he had to strengthen the prohibition as soon as possible. So, he asked his disciples to step aside, and he himself stood in front of the ban, and began to recite the Taoist mantra silently, while urging the mana to strengthen the ban.
As he chanted the incantation louder and louder, he saw the golden light in the tomb, forcing the black shadow back into the sarcophagus again. Eventually, after an hour of hard work, the ban was finally re-enforced. The black shadow could no longer break free, and could only roar in the sarcophagus.
Monk Huiming let out a long breath, and then left the ancient tomb with his disciples. When they returned to the village, they informed Zhang Yuanwai and the villagers about the incident. After hearing this, the villagers thanked Monk Huiming for saving his life, and said that they would strengthen the defense of the village to prevent the evil from invading again.
Monk Huiming, on the other hand, returned to the Pure Void Meditation and continued his spiritual path. He knew that there were still many unknown dangers and evils in this world waiting for him to face and eliminate. But he believed that as long as he had the way in his heart, he could overcome all evil. Since that day, the village has returned to tranquility, and Zhang Yuanwai's father has gradually recovered under the prescription of the monk Huiming. However, Monk Huiming did not relax because of this, he knew that the big demon in the ancient tomb was only temporarily suppressed, and it was still possible to break free from the ban in the future and bring disaster to the world again.
In order to completely eliminate this hidden danger, Monk Huiming decided to seek a deeper spell to seal the ancient tomb forever. So, he embarked on a journey to study at various avenue temples and temples.
In the long process of studying, Monk Huiming not only improved his cultivation, but also made many like-minded friends. They discussed the Tao together and learned from each other, and Monk Huiming also learned a lot of new spells and sealing techniques.
Finally, after several years of hard work, Monk Huiming found a powerful sealing spell called the "Nine Heavens Xuan Sealing Array". This spell can use the power of heaven and earth to form an indestructible seal and completely suppress the great demon in the ancient tomb.
Monk Huiming returned to the village with his newly learned spells, and he decided to use the power of the moonlight to arrange the "Nine Heavens Xuanfeng Array" on the night of the full moon. When the villagers learned of this, they came to help, and they cleared the weeds and trees around the ancient tomb and prepared for the formation.
On the night of the full moon, Monk Huiming led the villagers to the ancient tomb. He held the magic weapon in his hand, chanted words in his mouth, and began to arrange the "Nine Heavens Xuan Sealing Array". As his spell was cast, a faint golden light began to glow around the ancient tomb, and a complex formation pattern gradually appeared in the air.
Just as the formation was about to be completed, the big demon in the ancient tomb suddenly launched a fierce struggle. It seems to sense impending danger and tries to break free from the sarcophagus. However, with the joint efforts of Monk Huiming and the villagers, the "Nine Heavens Xuan Sealing Array" was finally successfully arranged.
As the formation activated, a brilliant golden light descended from the sky, enveloping the ancient tomb firmly. The demon's struggle gradually weakened, and it was finally completely suppressed in the sarcophagus.
The villagers cheered, knowing that from now on, the village would never again be threatened by the demon. Monk Huiming also showed a smile of relief, his efforts finally brought peace to the village.
However, Monk Huiming did not stop his footsteps. He knows that the path of cultivation is never-ending. So, he said goodbye to the villagers and embarked on a new journey to find a deeper Tao and a wider world.
And the ancient tomb that was sealed by the "Nine Heavens Xuan Sealing Array" has also become a legend in the village. Every full moon night, the villagers gather in front of the tomb to tell the story of Monk Huiming's heroic deeds and how he saved the entire village. These stories have been passed down from generation to generation and have become indispensable cultural treasures in the village.
