098 Lingji Bodhisattva Arrives Unexpectedly

Facing hundreds of little demons, Zhu Bajie swept away like a whirlwind with a rake in his hand!
"A group of bastards also came to make up the numbers. This little monster, even if there are hundreds of thousands, can he hurt me at all!?"

Zhu Bajie had already displayed a ferocious nature, and the nine-toothed rake hit it all at once, instantly killing the little monsters to the point of defeat!
Today's Zhu Bajie is too fierce!
Not only Liuding Liujia, Wufangjiedi, four-valued meritorious service, and 18 protectors are all dumbfounded!
What the hell is going on! ?

In their eyes, with Zhu Bajie's temperament in the past, he definitely wouldn't be so strong.

Although his name is Zhu Ganglu, it has the same pronunciation but different characters.

Now Tang Seng has not come here, but he has already rushed to the front line, and has already begun to try to level the road. What stimulated him?

Not to mention Liu Ding Liu Jia, Wu Fang Jie Di, Four Values ​​Gong Cao, and the 18 protectors were all stunned, even Tathagata Buddha and Avalokitesvara gasped.

They know Zhu Bajie's identity best, and he was also a spy inserted by the forces of heaven on the way to learn the scriptures this time.

Along the way, Tathagata Buddha and Avalokitesvara never thought that he could play any role at all. They even said that he could play a positive and positive role in promoting the scriptures.

But it is said that the fifty disabled little demons rushed into the cave with some broken flags and drums to report.

"My lord, the Tiger Pioneer was no match for that pig demon, and he beat him to death with a rake."

The old demon was very annoyed after hearing the report. He bowed his head silently thinking of a strategy, and then said to the little demon at the front door.

"My lord, that pig demon has rushed to the entrance of the cave, and is dragging his handkerchief to scold at the door."

The old demon was even more troubled when he heard this.

"This fellow is also ignorant! I haven't eaten his master yet, he only kills my vanguard, hateful! Hateful!"

"Get the cloak! I only heard of Monkey King but I have never heard of any pig demon. When I go out, I want to see what kind of nine-headed and eight-tailed monk it is. Instead, I bring him in to fight my Tiger Pioneer."

All the little demons hurriedly lifted out their cloaks, the old demon finished neatly, swiped a three-strand steel fork, and the handsome group of demons jumped out of the hole.

Zhu Bajie was standing outside the door, seeing the monster coming out, he was really brave.

It is dressed up with a golden helmet shining in the sun, and the golden armor is shining.

On the helmet is a mountain pheasant tail, and the robe and armor are light yellow.

The armor sash and the dragon shine brightly, and the heart mirror surrounds the eyes brilliantly.

Moccasin boots, dyed with acacia flowers, brocade apron, willow leaf velvet makeup.

Holding a three-strand steel fork, he is not as good as Xian Shenglang.

The old demon came out of the door, and soon yelled loudly.

"Who are you bold pig monster? Why are you so reckless? Come into my cave with sense and let me cook. If you don't know sense, I will beat you into a puddle of meat on the spot!"

Zhu Bajie held a nine-tooth nail rake and sneered.

"It seems that you have never heard of my reputation as the Marshal of the Canopy, so you dare to act presumptuously in front of me like this. Now I also have something to say, if you are sensible, get out of this mountain quickly, and bring your demon soldiers to force thousands of miles away .If you don't know the way!"

Zhu Bajie shook the nine-toothed rake like the wind, and there was a lot of dust in an instant.

"If you don't know a person, don't raise your hand mercilessly, and don't raise your hand mercilessly. Your grandpa pig has heavy hands, I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand this rake!"

The monster said that, twisting the steel fork, looking at Zhu Bajie's chest, he stabbed it.

Zhu Bajie made an oolong sweep the terrain, pushed aside the steel fork, and hit the head again.

The two of them are at the entrance of the Yellow Wind Cave, this is a good fight!

The demon king is angry, Bajie shows his might!

One is the commander-in-chief of Zhenshandu, and the other is the canopy pig gang!
In the beginning, it was still a dust war, and later they all started in the center.

It all depends on quick hands and quick eyes, and you must be strong and strong.The two families risk their lives to fight, not knowing which one is safe and which one is injured!

The old demon and Zhu Bajie fought for [-] rounds, with neither winner nor loser.

Zhu Bajie suddenly made his body several times larger by means of a means, and struck fiercely with a nine-toothed rake, directly hitting the demon king so hard that he couldn't stand it, and his legs crushed the rocks to pieces!

Just as Zhu Bajie was fighting the old demon, something happened to Qin Shushu.

Qin Shushu was full of food and drink, and was preparing to sleep peacefully on the bamboo bed, when a voice came from behind him, singing the Buddha's name: "Amitabha!"

"Ok?"

Qin Shushu was taken aback for a moment, then sat up.

Sun Wukong also looked at the voice, surprised in his mouth.

"Lingji Bodhisattva, why are you here?"

Naling Gipsa looks kind and kind.

"Tang Sanzang. In your previous life, Jin Chanzi and I were best friends. Seeing that you are in such a difficult situation, I wanted to help you out, but I didn't expect that the matter was almost resolved when I came down."

Qin Shushu asked without knowing.

"What does that mean?"

Lingipsa sighed.

"Marshal Tianpeng is really brave, and no one can stop him all the way, so I can't help after all."

Qin Shushu's heart skipped a beat.

Zhu Bajie actually cut through the battle line?

He is so fierce?

Sure enough, his fighting power is extraordinary, and he was indeed underestimated before.

At the same time, this Lingipsa seems to have a problem with coming, since I'm fine here, why are you coming here to make a fuss?

But Qin Shushu still didn't say that, thinking of Tang Sanzang in the Lingtai, his heart moved.

"Thank you, Bodhisattva Lingji, for your trouble! Now that you're here, why don't you chat and reminisce about the past, I just have a lot of things I want to ask Brother Lingji, and I hope you can give me some pointers."

Bodhisattva Lingji nodded and said.

"Alright, I haven't seen you for a hundred years, so let's catch up on the old days."

After finishing speaking, he and Qin Shushu found a place to sit down.

Qin Shushu asked first.

"Brother Lingji, you also know my current situation. I have almost forgotten about my previous life. Can you tell me about my previous life, Jin Chanzi?"

Bodhisattva Lingji looked at Tang Seng suspiciously.

How did he know that he was a golden cicada in his previous life?
Should he know about this?
However, I thought of Zhu Bajie, who showed great power today. It seems that he knows his life experience is normal, right?
The inconsistency should have been revealed between Guan Yin's words.

"Your previous life, Golden Cicada, was the second disciple of Tathagata Buddha, second only to Tathagata and Kassapa. Tathagata Buddha called you the number one enlightenment disciple, even better than Mahakasyapa who is holding flowers and smiling."

Sun Wukong was puzzled.

"Since my master was such an eminent monk in his previous life, why was he still cast into the mortal world?"

Lingji shook his head to express that he did not know.

"I've been living in Little Sumeru Mountain. It's been a long time since I went to Lingjiu Mountain to see Tathagata Buddha. This incident is also very strange in the Western Paradise. Only Jin Chanzi and Tathagata can know the real situation. It's a pity that Jin Chanzi's spiritual consciousness has not yet come. To recover, I’m afraid I can only ask Tathagata.”

Qin Shushu wondered.

"Brother Lingji, isn't Vulture Mountain the West Paradise?"

Lingji Bodhisattva laughed.

"It seems that you have misunderstood something. Vulture Mountain is just the place where Tathagata and his disciples live, while Xitian is a wider existence. For example, my little Sumeru Mountain is in Xitian, but it is thousands of miles away from Vulture Mountain. away!"

"."

As for Bodhisattva Lingji, Qin Shushu knew that he was also a big boss with little reputation but great strength.

According to the normal script, they first have to encounter the Yellow Wind Monster, and the original shape of the Yellow Wind Monster is a mouse at the foot of Lingshan who has stolen the lamp oil in the glass cup of the Buddha. And it is really powerful.

The description of the yellow wind monster is also quite violent.

"Since Pangu opened the world, I have never seen such a bad wind. The universe almost exploded, and the mountains and rivers trembled. It disturbed the Bitian Bullfighting Palace, almost knocked down the Muluo Palace, the fairy mountain cave was dark, and the Penglai island was dark... ..."

Even Sun Dasheng was in a daze, and was blown thousands of miles by the yellow wind monster, and he was always floating, without knowing where to go.

Then Lingji Bodhisattva took over the Yellow Wind Monster.

"Shangfu, the great sage Qitian, listen, the old man is Li Changgeng. There is a flying dragon staff on Mount Sumeru, and Lingji received Buddhist soldiers back then."

Under the guidance of Taibai Jinxing beside the Jade Emperor in the Heavenly Court, Monkey King came to the Little Sumeru Mountain, 3 miles away from Huangfengling.

In the myth of Journey to the West, Taibai Jinxing told Sun Wukong that Mount Sumeru is the dojo of Lingji Bodhisattva, and it is used for preaching scriptures.

On Mount Sumeru, Sun Wukong met Lingji Bodhisattva, and after learning that the Tang monk and his disciples had suffered disasters, the Bodhisattva went straight to the point and told Sun Wukong three important news:

First, Lingji Bodhisattva was ordered by the Tathagata Buddha to suppress the yellow wind monsters here. The Tathagata Buddha specially gave me two magic weapons, one is "Fengfeng Pill" and the other is "Flying Dragon Staff".

Secondly, after Lingji Bodhisattva captured the Yellow Wind Monster, he was merciful and spared his life, and after warning him not to hurt others and commit crimes again, he let him hide his name and return to the mountain;
Thirdly, it was unexpected that this guy would relapse into his old habits, and wanted to harm Tang Seng, which violated the teachings of Buddhism. As the prisoner of monsters, he was guilty.

As soon as Lingji Bodhisattva made a move, the Dingfeng Pill first made the yellow wind monster's samadhi god wind useless; the power of the flying dragon staff reappeared, and an eight-clawed golden dragon appeared, which immediately revealed the yellow wind monster to its original shape. Only - mink!
When talking about Mount Sumeru, it is called this place: auspicious clouds, auspicious mist, and melodious bells and chimes.Strips of golden flames shooting rainbows, roads of jade smoke flying colorful mist, pieces of white clouds wrapping around pine tips, Prajna Paradise will be high...

The owner of Mount Sumeru is Lingji Bodhisattva.

So, where is Mount Sumeru, which is described by Buddhism as boundless and magical?Who is the master?

The word "Xumi" in Chinese characters was originally a transliteration of the Sanskrit Sumeru, meaning "Miaogao", "Miaoguang", "Shanji", etc. Therefore, Mount Xumi is sometimes translated as "Miaogao Mountain" and "Miaoguang Mountain". , "Milou Mountain" and other names.

According to Buddhist scriptures, one thousand small worlds are called small thousand worlds, one thousand small thousand worlds are called middle thousand worlds, and one thousand middle thousand worlds are called great thousand worlds. This is the origin of the "three thousand great thousand worlds".

Mount Sumeru is a famous mountain and the king of mountains in ancient Indian mythology.

It is said that in the vast universe, Mount Sumeru rises from the middle and is surrounded by seven layers of Iron Mountains. The periphery of Iron Mountains is the vast Aral Sea, and the four sides of the Aral Sea are four continents and eight small continents.

Nanzhanbuzhou, where humans live, is shaped like an axe and is located on the south side.

Sumeru Mountain is divided into four directions, each with eight heavenly dao, and Di Shitian is on the top of the mountain to command the surrounding four heavens, that is, the four heavenly kings. There are 33 heavens in total, and the gods of the heavens live in it, and Di Shitian is the 33 gods.

There is still a sentence in the Buddhist scriptures: "Sumeru hides mustard seeds, and mustard seeds accept Sumi".

It means that such a huge Mount Sumeru is just right to be stuffed into a small loose seed.

This sentence comes from the "Vimalakirti Sutra Unthinkable Item": If the Bodhisattva is a liberated person, with the height and breadth of Mount Sumeru, there will be no increase or decrease in the mustard seeds.

To sum up, it can be seen that Mount Sumeru, as it is called in Buddhism, is a sacred mountain in ancient Indian myths and legends. Its owner is Indra, where the four heavenly kings and other gods, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas live.

And Lingji Bodhisattva is naturally one of them.

As for how big is his ability?

When all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas appeared many times in Journey to the West, the name of Lingji Bodhisattva never appeared in the list. Is it discrimination?
Looking at the original text of Journey to the West, this Lingji Bodhisattva has appeared twice, and both of them are quite important.

The first time was to capture the Yellow Wind Monster, and the second time was to help Wukong deal with Princess Iron Fan's plantain fan.

You know, all the gods, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the sky are here to add to the chaos. Guanyin Bodhisattva, who has helped the Journey to the West team many times, will inevitably set up some carp spirit obstacles to make doomed.

Only this Lingji Bodhisattva was a great help to the Westbound team every time he appeared.

However, it is such a person, at the end of the Journey to the West, all Buddhist disciples will appear.

However, when it comes to names, there is no name of Bodhisattva Lingji at all.

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, Manjusri Bodhisattva, and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva are all on the list.

You know, everyone who reads the name has credit.Like the five hundred arhats, they also fought against the golden-winged roc.

Only Lingji Bodhisattva could not be found, and of course the Great Sage King Bodhisattva and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva could not be found.

However, there was one more Bodhisattva who never showed up, that is, Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva.

So Qin Shushu was very puzzled.

In the original Journey to the West, even the name of Little White Dragon appeared.

Lingji's status is not as good as that of Xiaobailong?

To know the four major Bodhisattvas of Buddhism, the most widely spread are Avalokitesvara, Manjusri, Samantabhadra and Ksitigarbha.

Some people say that Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva is Lingji Bodhisattva.

The reason is that Dashizhi Sanskrit means universal, auspicious Bodhisattva.

Qin Shushu thought it was absurd, Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva was a very powerful Bodhisattva in reality, and his status was higher than Avalokitesvara to some extent.

That can only explain one problem, this Lingji Bodhisattva was fabricated by the author for the needs of the plot.

And the status is really not high, so his name did not appear at the end of Journey to the West.

In the original Journey to the West, when Sun Wukong went to see Guanyin Bodhisattva, he was reported by others, and he asked the Bodhisattva for help very respectfully.

When he arrived at Lingji Bodhisattva, Sun Wukong came to ask for an audience. Lingji dressed up to meet him and burned his best incense.

This all shows that Bodhisattva Lingji attaches great importance to Sun Wukong. Why does he attach so much importance to Sun Wukong?
The reason is simple, two words "status".

Sun Wukong is a member of the team who went west to learn Buddhist scriptures, and his future achievements must be Buddhas.

In other words, Sun Wukong will be the boss of Lingji Bodhisattva in the future.

Then why does Sun Wukong respect Guanyin?
Because Avalokitesvara belongs to one of the five elders in the heavenly court, the official position is the same as that of the Tathagata.

Even if Sun Wukong becomes a Buddha, he still has to be respectful when he sees Guanyin.

This is the truth of not forgetting the well digger when drinking water.

It can be seen from this that this Bodhisattva Lingji is a Bodhisattva equivalent to the five hundred arhats, and his position among Bodhisattvas must not be high.Why do you say that?
Sun Wukong didn't know that there was such a Bodhisattva before, and he only knew that there was such a Bodhisattva from the mouth of the Yellow Wind Monster.

The key is to know that Lingji Bodhisattva can restrain the yellow wind monster, and no one knows where this Lingji Bodhisattva is.

It was also Li Changgeng, Taibai Jinxing's instructions to his old friend, saying that this Lingji Bodhisattva is in Mount Sumeru, and has two treasures, the Flying Dragon Staff and the Wind-Fixing Pill.

It can be seen from this that Lingji Bodhisattva is not well-known, and he himself said that he was bestowed by the Tathagata with the Dragon Wand and Wind-fixing Pearl.

It can be seen from this that Bodhisattva Lingji is the one who was lifted up by the Tathagata, and he also wants to make meritorious service for him on the journey to the West and further promote him.

Why did Tathagata promote such an unknown Bodhisattva?
This still involves the internal struggle of the Buddhist sect, just like the Jade Emperor is always guarding against the Supreme Lord.

Tathagata is also wary of Avalokitesvara, not only to make good use of Avalokitesvara, but also to suppress and guard against Avalokitesvara.

You know, because Avalokitesvara's working ability is the strongest in Buddhism, he can even get a seat in the "Five Elders" in the heavenly court, and sit with the Tathagata.

You have to let Tathagata have a grudge, but you can't carry out many tasks without Guanyin.

Therefore, Tathagata does not want Guanyin to become the Supreme Lord of Heaven.

In the upper-level struggle of the Buddhist sect, it is divided into three factions, the Tathagata faction, the Lantern conservative faction, the Maitreya young faction, the middle-level Guanyin, Samantabhadra, and Manjusri form a small group. Mahasthama Bodhisattva did not participate in it. The grass on the wall has not yet made up his mind who to take refuge in.

From the westward journey of the Avalokitesvara organization, we can see which ones are used by Avalokitesvara to complete the ninety-nine and eighty-one difficult targets set by the Tathagata.

It is said that it is traveling westward to learn Buddhist scriptures according to Tathagata's decree, but in fact, Guanyin is showing Tathagata the strength he has accumulated over the years.

The reason for Guanyin's display is to tell Tathagata that it is a wrong choice to establish Maitreya Buddha as a Buddha's son, and my ability is far superior to Maitreya.

But Guanyin was playing a bit, she didn't figure out Tathagata's real intention.

Tathagata originally wanted to rely on the Western Sutra to support some Bodhisattvas who were not valued like Lingji Bodhisattva. These Bodhisattvas gathered together and formed a new Bodhisattva power with the five members of the Westward Team.

Avalokitesvara saw Tathagata's plan, and still chose to take all the credit for his own people. In the end, it ended up being separated. Tathagata directly named his second disciple Jin Chanzi and Sun Wukong as Buddhas, surpassing Avalokitesvara in status. But Guanyin and his team are still standing still, not moving forward.

of course.

These things were also speculated by Qin Shushu when he really met Lingji Bodhisattva.

The most important thing is that Lingji Bodhisattva didn't have the chance to appear this time, so he had to force his appearance, isn't it strange?

"Which sect does Brother Lingji belong to?"

and so.

In order to confirm his inner speculation, Qin Shushu directly asked the question he wanted to ask the most.

Bodhisattva Lingji said without hesitation.

"I belong to the Tiantai sect, and my mana is only ranked third in the Tiantai sect."

"By the way, I have a set of mental methods here, and I can leave it to you to learn. I don't know what Tang Sanzang thinks of you?"
