Volume 1: Journey to the West Chapter 36: Refining the Avatar in the Four-Sided Cauldron (Part 2)
The old monk stood up, his round face was compassionate, solemn and dignified, looking at Kunpeng, and said seriously: "If you have a sacred mountain in your heart, it is the sacred mountain. I have a great affinity with Kunpeng! Demon Master, why don't you convert?"
Kunpeng Demon Master laughed and said: "You Mahayana Buddhists are just like cooked ducks, but you are just stubborn! Mother Peacock King Bodhisattva, you borrowed Kong Xuan to achieve enlightenment, and you must pay some interest today!"
The two incarnations of the River Map and Luoshu said nothing, stepped forward with swords, and went to kill the Peacock King Bodhisattva. Kunpeng stood in the heaven position among the three talents and controlled the overall situation.
What are the three talents? The Book of Changes says: "There is the way of heaven, the way of man, and the way of earth." Heaven, earth, and man are the three talents. Kunpeng and the River Map and Luoshu are originally one, which is in line with the way of the three talents of the body. Baihui is at the top of the head and corresponds to the sky, which controls the qi, so Kunpeng occupies the heaven position; Yongquan is at the foot and corresponds to the earth, which controls the essence, so Luoshu occupies the earth position; Xuanji is at the chest and corresponds to the human, which controls the spirit, so the River Map occupies the human position.
Once the Three Talents Formation was completed, the Peacock King Bodhisattva was equivalent to falling into Kunpeng's belly, with no way to escape.
The Bodhisattva was not afraid at all, and laughed loudly: "See me when the flower blooms, I will see Tathagata!" His body cracked and revealed the Tathagata's Dharma body, with twenty-four heads and eighteen hands, holding a necklace, an umbrella, a flower string, a fish intestine, a golden bow, a silver halberd, a blessing pestle, a treasure file, a golden bottle and other weapons, to meet the incarnation of the River Map and Luoshu.
This fight was so fierce that the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and the sand and rocks were flying. The land, space, flowers, trees, animals, insects and fish nurtured by the spiritual energy in the four-sided tripod were all shattered by the aftermath of the battle between the four people and turned into misty spiritual energy!
Zhu Ganglie used the four-sided tripod to collect the spiritual energy, and suddenly clenched his hands. The group of spiritual energy rushed towards the Peacock King Bodhisattva, wrapped him up, and restrained his actions.
The Peacock King Bodhisattva shook his body and dispersed the spiritual energy, but at this time he was hit by the incarnation of the River Map and Luoshu. The Bodhisattva seemed to be fine, only cried out in pain, and continued to kill the two.
At this time, the group of spiritual energy gathered again under Zhu Ganglie's control and wrapped the Peacock King Bodhisattva again. The Bodhisattva shook again, and naturally suffered a small loss. The group of spiritual energy gathered and dispersed, and gathered and dispersed, and it was endless!
The Peacock King Bodhisattva was not a fool. He had long seen that Zhu Ganglie's cultivation was not high and could not threaten him. He thought that with his cultivation, he could use spiritual energy to restrict his actions at most three times. Who knew that he could use it dozens of times now, and he was still at ease.
He never thought that this was Zhu Ganglie's magic weapon space. Old Zhu's cultivation was almost not consumed, and he could use his magical powers at will.
The Peacock King Bodhisattva also realized this truth. He tried to break out of the encirclement and kill Zhu Ganglie several times, but was blocked by the incarnation of the River Map and Luoshu, and could not get away at all.
Seeing this, Kunpeng Demon Master laughed and said, "Zunti, today is the day your incarnation dies!"
The Peacock King Bodhisattva sneered repeatedly. Although he was a Bodhisattva in name, he borrowed the Dharmakaya of Tathagata. Although he did not have the great magic power of his master Tathagata, he could last longer. Kunpeng Demon Master has always been cautious and was not willing to risk his cultivation of one Yuanhui to kill him, so the Bodhisattva thought he could hold on until the other three corpses came to rescue him.
There is a Lingtai Fangcun Mountain on the coast of Xiniu Hezhou. In the mountain is a Xieyue Sanxing Cave. In the cave is a Taoist immortal named Subhuti. This ancestor is unknown, but has great magic power. Because he accepted a disciple named Sun Wukong, he plotted against the Heavenly Court, causing a century of turmoil and unrest in heaven and earth. The ancestor closed the Sanxing Cave to prevent the Heavenly Court from finding trouble with him.
This old man Subhuti is the Taoist incarnation of Zhunti Taoist. He is good at calculating and setting up a series of traps. He taught his apprentice to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace. When the trouble became too much, Tathagata came forward to subdue the demon monkey and pressed it under the Five Elements Mountain, so that the Jade Emperor owed him a favor. Then he took the opportunity to propose the Journey to the West, let the monkey convert to Buddhism, become a Dharma protector, and spread the Mahayana doctrine to the East. The Jade Emperor was afraid of the demon monkey's rebellion, so he naturally had no objection to the Journey to the West.
The plan was good, and everything was going according to plan, but the secret suddenly turned into chaos, and all the plans were messed up!
On this day, Bodhi Taoist was still concentrating on calculating silently, and suddenly he was frightened. He stood up and sneered: "Someone actually calculated on the old ancestor's head, he really didn't know how high the sky was!" He ordered his disciples to guard the door well and went out of the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave.
Zhunti has three corpse clones, one of which was cut off from the connection. Although Bodhi Taoist didn't know who did it, he could still sense the location and immediately rushed to Cuiyun Mountain like a flash of lightning.
When he passed Wuzhuang Temple, he saw an endless yellow fog suddenly rising in front of him. When he entered the fog, his body became sluggish involuntarily. Bodhi Taoist paused for a while, and he could only move forward more than ten miles. He was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
"Zhen Yuan Da Xian, you are looking for trouble with me!"
A leisurely voice came from the vast yellow fog, saying slowly: "When I am free, I read the three classics and play chess. When I am busy, I carry water and farm half an acre of wasteland. Earthly immortal, earthly immortal, a volume of earthly book to see the world!"
The Bodhi Taoist heard it and said loudly: "You are the same as the world, why are you blocking my way?"
A Taoist slowly walked out of the yellow fog, with a long beard and purple face, holding a chessboard in his hand, and said with a smile: "Daoyou Bodhi, I am so idle and worried. It's rare to meet you. Come on, play a game with me!"
The Bodhi Taoist knew that Zhen Yuanzi must have come to stop him. If he fought with him, it would be difficult for him to gain the upper hand. He immediately said: "Okay, I will play a game with you. If you lose, you must let me leave."
Zhen Yuan Da Xian smiled and said: "Why not?" With a light flick, a stone table and two stone benches suddenly appeared in the air. Zhen Yuanzi put the chessboard on the stone table and held the black pieces.
Taoist Bodhi also sat down, holding a white piece in his hand, looking at the chessboard, and saw that there was already an end game on the chessboard. Taoist Bodhi looked at the endgame carefully, feeling dizzy and secretly surprised: "What kind of endgame is this?"
This chess game is a famous exquisite chess game in later generations. As long as there is still obsession, you will fall into the game and get entangled. Taoist Bodhi is the incarnation of Zhunti's obsession. As soon as he makes a move, he is trapped in a situation and cannot extricate himself.
Taoist Bodhi is good at calculations, and he fights fiercely in a dead end. He comes back to life repeatedly, until the last son of Zhenyuan Immortal falls, and he completely admits defeat.
Zhen Yuanzi laughed loudly, fluttered his sleeves and disrupted the chess game, drifted away, and sang: "Watching the chess game, felling, felling the trees, walking slowly at the valley entrance by the clouds, selling firewood and selling wine, laughing wildly to express my love. The autumn is high in the sky, and I love you so much. The moon rests on the pine roots, and I recognize the old forest at dawn, climb the cliffs and cross the ridges, and cut the dead vines with an ax..."
Taoist Bodhi was still obsessed with the game, but he suddenly shivered and realized, "Not good!" After counting, it turned out that the game had been played for three years! He was about to go to Cuiyun Mountain when his heart suddenly twisted and he stamped his feet: "It's too late, it's too late!" After sighing, he had to return to Fangcun Mountain.
However, they said that another three-corpse incarnation of Taoist Zhunti was named Buddha Mother Zhunti Bodhisattva. It had a Western cultivation and was unpredictable. He also realized that Peacock King Bodhisattva was being plotted against him, so he quickly got up from Tianzhu to rescue him. Unexpectedly, he met a young Taoist on the way. Holding a scroll in his hand, the Taoist blocked the path of Mother Chunti and said with a smile: "Bodhisattva, you are polite! I have been ordered by the teacher to come and trap you for three years. Bodhisattva, don’t make things difficult for me.”
