Volume 1: Journey to the West Chapter 37: Refining the Avatar in the Four-Sided Cauldron (Part 3)
The Buddha Mother Zhunti Bodhisattva hurriedly looked at the person who was coming, and saw that he was wearing a Taiqing immortal robe, with a face as gentle as jade, with his left hand whisking dust, his right hand drawing a scroll, and his two sleeves in the breeze. He looked like a virtuous Quanzhen.
Zhunti Bodhisattva sneered and said: "Master Xuandu, you and I had a chance encounter one thousand five hundred years ago. At that time, I came to our west to preach and established the Taoist Many Treasures as the Buddha Many Treasures Tathagata. He sat on an equal footing with the Buddha. , share my fortune in Xiniu Hezhou. Therefore, I owe you a favor and allow me to preach in the east. You were with me in the form of Yixi back then, so why did you stop me today?"
The Bodhisattva was talking about old things in the past. Master Xuandu naturally remembered it clearly. When Sakyamuni, the Taoist Zhunti, was reincarnated under the Bodhi tree, he attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree and beheaded the incarnation of the Buddha’s mother Zhunti Bodhisattva in forty-nine days. He happened to meet him to this event.
At that time, Sakyamuni had split with Western religions and was at a disadvantage. He did not want to compete with the Supreme Lord, so he allowed him to establish the Taoist Many Treasures as Buddha and call him Many Treasures Tathagata. The leader of the Baojing world. Sakyamuni deliberately wanted Laojun to owe him a favor, so when he was preaching the Lotus Sutra, the Seven Treasures Pagoda emerged from the ground and stood in the sky. But they are of the Taoist lineage, promoting the teachings of the East. Sakyamuni Tathagata then stepped into the pagoda, and half of the pagoda was divided between him and him with many treasures to show equality.
It is for this reason that Laojun knows that he is in the wrong. After all, Taoist Duobao is one generation lower than Zhunti, so he owes Taoist Zhunti a favor. Zhunti Taoist also planned to preach in the East, Bodhi preached to Wukong, Wukong made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, was pressed by the Tathagata under the Five Fingers Mountain, Jin Chanzi was demoted to the world, reincarnated for ten lives, and went to the West to learn scriptures. The plan was to spread the Mahayana teachings to the East. earth.
Taishang Laojun also had to respond hypocritically. The monkeys were so rampant when they made trouble in the Heavenly Palace. The strong men in the Heavenly Palace did not show up at all and allowed him to toss. Even Laojun gave him two gourds of the Nine-turn Golden Elixir. , to show you this favor.
When Zhunti Bodhisattva mentioned this matter at this moment, it gave Master Xuandu no reason to stop him. You must know that Master Xuandu is the only disciple of Saint Taiqing. Bodhisattva may not be his opponent, after all, he is just a three-corpse incarnation of Chunti.
When Master Xuandu heard him mention old things, he chuckled and said, "One favor, one favor. I wonder how to offset this favor from Bodhisattva? Should I continue traveling to the west to teach scriptures, or should I let you go east?"
Zhunti Bodhisattva was shocked. Master Xuandu must have been instructed by Laojun. If he wanted to continue his westward journey, he would stop him from going east. If he wanted to save Peacock King Bodhisattva, he must give up his westward journey. He has been planning to spread Mahayana Buddhism to the East for more than 1,500 years. How can he just give up? But if an incarnation is given up, and the power of the teaching is not lost, where will the saint's face be placed?
Zhunti Bodhisattva changed his mind, then finished thinking, and sneered: "In that case, don't blame me!" He gently shook his right hand, and a green Bodhi branch appeared in his hand. It was the Seven Wonderful Treasure Tree. .
Master Xuandu did not fight with him at all. He gently threw the scroll in his hand into the air, and suddenly unfolded it, turning into a golden bridge. Five-color light illuminated the mountains, rivers and the earth, covering the Zhunti Bodhisattva.
The Bodhisattva couldn't help but change his expression, and then he recognized that this treasure was Lao Jun's Tai Chi diagram. It could encompass all things, split the earth and open the sky, separate pure and turbid matter, and stabilize the earth, water, fire, and wind. It was even more brilliant than the Seven Wonderful Treasure Tree in his hand. The Seven Wonderful Treasure Tree in his hand is just a branch of the Bodhi Tree. It is far inferior to the Bodhi Tree. How can it be the opponent of Tai Chi Tu?
Zhunti Bodhisattva couldn't help but cry out in pain. He knew that if the other party wanted to kill him, he would just shake the picture, so he stopped getting angry and sat down quietly. The black and white relics appeared on his head, and they were pinned to the earth, water, wind and fire, so as not to kill Master Xuandu. A sudden killer.
When Master Xuandu saw that he was not moving, he himself was not moving either. He sat outside the picture and silently recited the Tao Te Ching. This stalemate between the two lasted for three years. When the three years were up, Master Xuandu collected the Tai Chi diagram and drifted away. The Buddha Mother Zhunti Bodhisattva sighed helplessly, pondered for a moment, and returned to Tianzhu.
At that time, Taoist Zhunti incarnated into three bodies. His real body was Shakyamuni Tathagata. He was known as the Master Tathagata, also known as the World Honored One, and also known as the One of Benevolence, Confucianism, Forbearance, and Peace. At this moment, the Buddha's incarnation was also going to be killed. Others The two incarnations were also blocked by others, even if they were as smart as Tathagata Buddha, they would not be able to bear it. He was about to deign to get off the golden lotus throne and go to Hezhou, Xiniu, when suddenly he heard that a visiting monk came to report urgently: "World Honored One, the Sage of Shangqing and the Sage of Yuqing are here to visit!"
The Tathagata Buddha knew that nothing could be done, so he sighed, and personally dressed up and led the crowd to greet him. He thought to himself: "If you miss one move, everything will be lost. This chaotic secret makes us saints lose our ideas and lose the opportunity." He put down his hands. Think about it, if the clone of Peacock Great Ming King Bodhisattva is killed, he will lose at most one Yuanhui's magic power. This damage is just a drop in the bucket for a saint. Afterwards, Ming King Bodhisattva can be recast, but it will lose many magical effects, so let it go.
The most important thing at the moment is to establish a good relationship with the Three Pure Saints in the East. The journey to the West is approaching, so as not to lose any benefits when we arrive.
Let’s talk about the fighting that didn’t stop for a moment in the square cauldron in Xianzhou Realm in the northwest. Zhu Ganglie yawned, squinted his eyes and looked at Kunpeng Demon Master’s Sancai Formation. He felt annoyed in his heart: “I’ve heard that Kunpeng Demon Master is slippery and won’t hold back his hands. Peacock King Bodhisattva, the clone of the saint, actually wants not to lose any of his magic power! He never suffers, and I try my best to take advantage of him, so I can win against my opponent!"
Kunpeng Demon Master was unwilling to suffer any loss. After the Sage of Shangqing tricked him, he turned around and tricked Zhu Ganglie in revenge, which shows what kind of person he is. But Zhu Ganglie was not someone to be trifled with. Seeing them fighting for such a long time, the evil water in Old Zhu's stomach surged, and he had thousands of crooked ideas to take advantage.
Old Zhu thought for a long time and finally found the best idea to take advantage. He did not help the Kunpeng Demon Master, but went straight to the unconscious Kong Xuan, opened the function of the True Spirit Cauldron, and made Kong Xuan regain consciousness and return to the true nature.
Kong Xuan himself has great magic power and can be called a quasi-master-level master. It's just that the five-color divine light was stripped from his body by the Peacock King Bodhisattva, and he is still very weak at this moment. It's a pity that a generation of heroes has fallen into such a situation.
Old Zhu smiled and said, "Congratulations, Senior Brother, I am out of trouble. My name is Zhu Ba, and my courtesy name is Ganglie. I am the teacher's new disciple!"
Kong Xuan struggled to get up and was about to return the greeting. Old Zhu quickly held him down and said with a smile, "Senior Brother, you are still weak, so you should cultivate more." After that, he took out a large pile of fairy fruits and herbs from his sleeves and piled them in front of Kong Xuan, smiling and saying, "Senior Brother, I brought these from Mount Fuluo. The teacher knew that you had this disaster, so he specially ordered me to come and help you."
Kong Xuan smiled weakly and said, "Thank you, Junior Brother." These fairy fruits and herbs were full of spiritual energy. They were indeed produced in Mount Fuluo. After Kong Xuan thanked him, he swallowed some and slowly refined them.
Zhu Ganglie breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him enter a state of concentration. The plan was half successful!
It's not that he didn't have any ideas about Kong Xuan's five-color divine light. The five-color divine light swept everything, which was indeed powerful. Old Zhu also wanted to get it from the bottom of his heart. But if he really stole the Five Colors Divine Light, the Sage of Shangqing would definitely make him spit out everything he had eaten, which would not be worth the loss, and he would also lose a strong ally like Kong Xuan.
Old Zhu's idea was to rob the Peacock King Bodhisattva of his cultivation! d.
