Chapter 48, Yang Jian’s Dream, Zhonghui Public Relations Feather
It is said that when Guan Yu rushed to Daxing City, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian also happened to have a dream.
He dreamed that a group of children were attacking him, and a flood was coming, submerging everything. He woke up from his dream, and then went to find someone to interpret the dream.
The master of dream interpretation asked:
"Is it a boy or a girl who beat His Majesty?"
Yang Jiandao:
"Boy."
"How many people are there?"
"Eighteen."
The master pondered slightly, and then said:
"The eighteenth is wood, the eighteenth son is Li, and the surging flood is water. I guess that in the future there will be people with the surname Li. Those with water in their names may be unfavorable to Your Majesty, and they may subvert His Majesty's empire!"
Yang Jian was shocked and asked quickly:
"Master, can you tell me who this person named Li is?"
The master said:
"In the imperial court, there are two people who meet the requirements, one is Li Hun and the other is Li Yuan.
Li Hun was a man who formed a clique in the imperial court and was friends with many people. He was also the son of Duke Shen. With a wave of his arms, he could attract many responders and form a force that should not be underestimated.
Comparatively speaking, Li Yuan was a low-key man, had made great contributions to the Sui Dynasty, and was loyal, so I thought he was Li Hun. ”
Yang Jian nodded after listening:
"What the master said is very reasonable, and I deeply agree."
So he waved his hand to dismiss the master, and began to think alone on the throne.
After the master left, he went straight to Li Yuan's mansion.
He had a good personal relationship with Li Yuan, so he was afraid that Yang Jian would regret it and would kill Li Yuan, so he prepared to tell him about the matter.
After Li Yuan learned about it, he was greatly frightened and anxious, and wanted to ask Queen Dugu for help.
After all, his mother is the sister of Queen Dugu, and Queen Dugu is very favored by Yang Jian, so what she says must be useful.
but.
At this time.
Suddenly, dark clouds covering the sky appeared, and vaguely, the sound of war drums and horse hooves seemed to be heard outside Daxing City.
The billowing gray fog came from the southwest, and everyone at the city gate was shocked.
"Where is my head!!! Where is my head!!!"
They seemed to hear shrill howls, and in a daze, in the gray mist, they saw a headless ghost general, carrying a blue dragon Yan Yue knife, and a maroon red rabbit horse under his crotch, leading countless Yin soldiers. Coming towards this direction.
Just when the soldiers at the city gate were at a loss.
Dazzling golden Buddha lights rose into the sky from the pagodas in the capital.
But these strange sights.
It is difficult for mortals to see it with the naked eye. Only people with some spirituality can catch a glimpse.
This is the gap between the extraordinary and the mundane.
It is also a rule of heaven and earth.
Those golden lights shot straight into the sky, and then headed towards the front of the gray fog, blocking Guan Yu's footsteps.
When Guan Yu saw this, he raised his sword to chop it into pieces.
But a voice suddenly sounded:
"General Guan, wait!"
Guan Yu was stunned.
A golden shadow of a monk emerged from the golden light. He was holding a brocade box in his hand. The brocade box exuded an aura that Guan Yu longed for.
His head is in it!
"The poor monk accidentally got a secret. He knew that General Guan would come to retrieve the head in the near future. In order to avoid conflict, the poor monk had already prepared everything, just waiting for you to come to the door, and then the property would be returned to its original owner.
Please also ask General Guan not to approach Daxing City again, so as not to disturb the people and His Majesty. ”
Guan Yu was silent.
He thought there would be a tough battle to fight, but it ended up like this.
But that's fine.
Guan Yu opened the brocade box and saw a familiar head inside.
However, after many years, the head has not decayed. Instead, the whole body is covered with a layer of golden light, like an immortal golden body, with rich Buddha nature. Guan Yu hesitated slightly, and the monk said:
"We Buddhists also admire General Guan very much as a human being, so we enshrine General Guan's head in the pagoda every day and enjoy the incense in the world. Over time, this is what happened."
Guan Yu nodded without saying anything, and raised his head, but he did not place it directly on his neck, but just held it like this.
He said:
"In this case, I left."
As soon as he turned his horse's head, he took the billowing clouds and retreated away.
The monk looked at his back and said Amitabha.
After Guan Yu left.
Yang Jian quickly asked what happened before, why the clouds were thick, the gray fog was rolling, and the golden light was shining.
As a human emperor, and as the reincarnation of the Holy King Chakravartin, he naturally cannot be mortal with the naked eye.
A Buddhist man told him the cause and effect, and Yang Jian was suddenly surprised:
"It was Guan Yu who came to take back his head?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The monk said:
"General Guan is righteous and loyal to the emperor and his country. His head is imbued with Buddha nature in the pagoda. Now that he has taken his head back and returned to perfection, he can also be completely transcended. Your Majesty, why don't you canonize him as the Duke of Loyalty and Hui, so that everyone in the world can Also learn from his loyalty and patriotism.”
Yang Jian nodded:
"This statement is reasonable, so let people build a temple for Guan Yu, name it Zhonghui Gong, and enjoy the incense of the people!"
Guan Yu took the head and went straight to Meishan.
When he arrived at Meishan, he saw Lin Yuan and said:
"True King, I have found my head, but it was placed in the pagoda by the Buddhist man for a long time and has been imbued with Buddha nature. The soul inside may be different from mine.
Please also ask the True Lord to help you purify the Buddha nature in your body. ”
He half-knelt on the ground, held his head in his hands, and handed it to Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan saw this and said:
"This matter is easy to handle, but are you sure you want me to purify the Buddha nature in it? This may be an opportunity for you. As long as you can resist the power of that Buddha nature, your strength will be greatly improved. .
If you feel you are strong-willed, you can give it a try. ”
When Guan Yu heard this, he hesitated slightly, and finally said firmly:
"In this case, I will finally be willing to try one or two."
Lin Yuan nodded:
"Just try it, I'll be watching."
Immediately, Guan Yu slowly put his head on his neck.
Soon, the head returned to its original position.
Suddenly Guan Yu opened his eyes, and two golden lights shot out and shot straight into the sky.
The strong power of Buddha nature exploded, but Lin Yuan did not take action, but just watched.
Even without using his heavenly eyes, he could vaguely see that there were two souls of the same origin but different natures touching each other in Guan Yu's body at this moment.
One is the ghost body of the netherworld, with strong Yin Qi and full of resentment. The other is the Buddha's light relic, with profound Buddha nature.
The two natures seem to be somewhat contradictory. As soon as they come into contact, the soul inherent in the Buddha nature is constantly eroding the body filled with yin energy.
But the latter did not sit still and waited for death, releasing billowing gray mist with the intention of swallowing it up.
The two became entangled.
During this process, Guan Yu's aura also dropped rapidly, which didn't seem to be a good thing.
But not long after.
This kind of fall stagnates, and then rises.
Lin Yuan can see it.
At this moment, Guan Yu's soul seemed to be harmonious and integrated. The Buddha nature purified the billowing resentment, but did not completely penetrate its roots and convert it.
On the contrary, it makes his soul pure and flawless, just like the Taoist Nascent Soul.
"He is worthy of being a person who can be honored among the three religions."
Lin Yuan admired.
