All the monsters looked at her like a fool.

To be recognized by the Heavenly Court is the supreme glory, and it is also the confirmation of the status of a true immortal.He Qiong only felt that the name Nezha was familiar. It seemed that when he was young, he had heard the story of his troubles in the sea.

She couldn't help but looked him up, down, left, and right.

Nezha still looked indifferent, completely different from the little devil on the stage.He just gave her a cold look and said, "Okay." Just as he was about to walk away, He Qiong stopped him again.

"Hey, third prince, I want to inquire about something."

She looked around at the goblins and waved her hand. An invisible barrier isolated them all, leaving only her and Nezha in the valley.Seeing Nezha's strange expression, she wondered if her attitude towards begging was not very good, so she put on a sweet smile and said, "Your Highness, Third Prince..."

Nezha asked, "Where?"

"Does anyone in your heavenly court often go down to the earth to endure calamities? Has anyone gone back recently?"

She blinked her big watery eyes and looked at Nezha motionlessly.Nezha didn't want to talk to her at first, she was just a loose fairy who didn't know how to praise; but he felt that although she was annoying, she was still lively and interesting, and she was more angry than the rigid Tianting.

Then he replied: "There are tens of thousands of fairy officials and boys in the Heavenly Court. Anyone who violates the rules of heaven will be dealt with strictly. This is not within my jurisdiction."

"Ah, that's right." She lowered her head in disappointment. If Su Yue returned to the Heavenly Court and changed his appearance, would they still be able to recognize each other?She asked again: "I heard that your rules are very strict."

Nezha said: "How can you doubt the rules of heaven!"

Seeing his old and decadent appearance, He Qiong immediately lost interest in the little devil in the form of a lotus flower in the play.Although there may be a chance to find Su Yue in Tianting, He Qiong does not want to be bound by the rules of heaven.What's more, she always felt in her heart that he shouldn't be there.

"Thank you." He Qiong waved his hand to remove the barrier, and all the monsters were still worshiping there.She stretched her waist, saw that Nezha was still standing there in a daze, thought for a while, took out a fairy peach from behind, and said with a smile: "Buying and selling is not a good thing, I trouble you to come and eat a peach?"

"..."

There are not many such down-to-earth fairy girls in the world.Nezha glanced at her silently, thinking of Sun Xingzhe back then.It's just that the monkey is no longer that wanton and happy Monkey King.Just like him, making sea cramps, shooting boys, and eviscerating their fathers have already become a distant past.

He actually reached out and took the peach, put it in his sleeve, and said: "Farewell."

Watching Nezha go away on the steamer, the goblins beside her felt sorry for her.An old demon said: "Xiangu, it's a great opportunity, why don't you accept it? Back then, the Monkey King of Huaguo Mountain, a famous monster, didn't he obediently go to heaven and received the order and was named the Monkey King. What's more You are human again, how much more noble than us monsters, go to heaven to accept a title, and mortals will build temples for you and burn incense, and you will have a whole body of merit while lying down, how happy you are."

"That's right. Speaking of heaven, that's nothing. Nowadays, everyone believes in Buddhism. Look at the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, who was conferred the title of Fighting and Conquering Buddha with the help of escorting Monk Tang to learn Buddhist scriptures?"

They chattered, and He Qiong sat on the rock, but he didn't find it annoying.After most of the monsters dispersed, there were still a few older ones chatting around her.Her activities in Luofu Mountain in recent days had already alarmed the surrounding goblins. They watched secretly for a long time, and before they were ready to start to find out the truth, they were frightened by the heavy thunder and surrendered without a fight.

He Qiong felt a little funny: "Building a temple? I am also a human being. My mother burns incense and worships Buddha. It is of no use, but it is just for sustenance."

The old demon said: "Xianggu, then you don't know. In some temples, the incense is so good that the main god can't take care of so many things. It depends on whose offerings are good, sincere, and has no sins before Furui can be sent down; some The temple is deserted, and the main god has no skills, and he can’t eat offerings and incense from ordinary people, so he might have run away long ago. Sometimes we will find such temples, squat in them, and occasionally manifest spirits, but we can also cheat a little incense candles .”

"It means that burning incense may not be effective." He Qiong said disdainfully: "I just said, I never went to worship Buddha since I was a child, and I thought that everyone can get what they want, so just lie down and do nothing. Is it? Immortals have eaten the incense and offerings of mortals, but this world is still full of natural and man-made disasters, huh?"

"Xiangu, be careful." The old demon was startled, looked around, and whispered: "You can't say that, the king has no virtue, and God will punish you."

"The king has no virtue, so it's fine to kill him alone. What's the matter with the people?"

The old demon was speechless for a moment.The tree demon next to him hurriedly came to smooth things over, and said, "Xianggu, what you said is true. But we are kind enough to advise you to have a name, so that the world can build a temple for you. Only when the incense burns, can you practice further."

"I know." He Qiong said with a smile: "I also loved to listen to operas when I was a child. The operas say that in the war of conferring gods, many immortal officials in the heavenly court were granted after death. I am not a dead soul, and I don't want to go The world cheats the poor incense, I just practice according to my method, and I can have a clear conscience."

Her thoughts really made all the monsters unbelievable and a little depressed.He Qiong smiled and took out the peaches and distributed them to the demons.She remembered something again and asked, "Who is the Great Sage Equaling Heaven?"

The old demon said: "Hey! A stinky monkey who is famous all over the world. When talking about his troubles in the heavenly palace in the early years, who didn't praise him. Who would have missed it later, and was suppressed by the Buddha of the West for 500 years, and came out. Later, he said that he was escorting Tang Sanzang to the west to learn scriptures. I don’t know who spread the rumor that eating Tang’s monk’s meat would make him immortal. Along the way, many brothers followed suit and died tragically under Sun Monkey’s stick. Now he has achieved the fruit of his cultivation. , Sealed Buddha, what a pity!"

"Who said they are all dead? The mounts of the Bodhisattvas, the boys of the old gods, are fine."

"Don't talk about it, my brother Xiao Zhuanfeng died tragically in Shituoling, he was full of tears."

All the monsters, you glance at me and say something, and the more you talk, the more vigorous you are, until the tip of the moon, you are still chattering endlessly.He Qiong understood the cause and effect, but she was thinking about another thing: there are so many gods who have gone down to earth, where can I find Su Yue's real body?

She couldn't help but drank a jar of monkey wine. The night breeze was cool and she was slightly drunk.I don't know where to go ahead, maybe she can only settle in Luofu Mountain first.

Since then, He Qiong practiced in Luofu Mountain for three more years, made friends with all the monsters, and restrained them from harming ordinary people;Therefore, people from far and near, both human and demon worlds, have heard of He Xiangu's name.

Until her reputation spread to the state capital, the local officials suspected that a monster was causing trouble, confusing the world, and sent officers and soldiers to arrest her.Then He Qiong made a small plan, trapped the officers and soldiers in the battle, and asked the city god to entrust a dream to the prefect, in exchange for the tranquility of Luofu Mountain.It's just that after this incident, she didn't want to stay here for a long time, so she just took a lotus seed found in the cave and left quietly, wandering around the world alone.

In the four continents, people love to listen to opera.

He Qiong went to Chang'an on foot, hanging pots to help the world along the way, or helping people to fortune tell good luck.In the world, there have been countless versions of Tang Sanzang's study of Buddhist scriptures.It is also said that he married the king of the Daughter Kingdom, but was disturbed by his grandson monkey, so he hated monkeys very much.

But when we arrived in Chang'an, there were no jokes and scriptures on the stage.

Because Emperor Wu attached great importance to Buddhism, Buddhist temples flourished in both Chang'an and Luoyang.In addition to Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Arhats, there are more Buddhas enshrined in Buddhist temples.It is said that a rabbit named Chang-Eared Dingguang was also named Dingguang Huanxi Buddha, so radishes often appeared in front of his statue.

He Qiong felt very interesting when he heard about it.She never went to Buddhist temples, but she ran to buy some radishes for this reason, hid them in her sleeves, and went to visit the largest Buddhist temple in Chang'an City.There was an endless stream of believers coming and going. He Qiong was not mortal with the naked eye. She looked up and saw that this Buddhist temple really lived up to its reputation. The guards are on both sides, and there is also a trace of the Buddha's spiritual thoughts on the Buddha statue, looking down on all living beings.

Amidst the singing, He Qiong avoided the crowd. After admiring the Eighteen Arhats, he saw the statues of Tang Seng and his disciples in the side hall.The god statue is solemn and dull, even the monkey and the pig's head are serious, looking at all living beings with compassion.

She put down a peach, and found that the four-valued meritocracy next to her silently glanced at her.

Beyond that, there are few people around, and there are obviously some small Buddhas that no one cares about, and only the daily incense is offered.Dingguang Huanxi Buddha looked familiar, but He Qiong couldn't remember where he had seen him.But she was thinking again, these Buddha statues made of clay are all the same, nothing more than the difference between fat and thin.

On the remote small hall to the west, there is a plaque with a few large characters written on it.He Qiong looked up to read, and it turned out that this is the temple of the Buddha's mother Peacock Daming King Bodhisattva.

She stood in front of the hall, the door was half closed, the light inside was dim, and there seemed to be no one there.Why is Buddha's mother a peacock?He Qiong was a little strange, and quietly opened the door.

A statue of a god stands coldly behind the curtain, with green smoke curling up from the table, like a dream.

She looked up and was shocked like an electric shock for an instant, and she was stunned for some reason.The Buddha Mother was actually a man, and the clay statue was very ordinary, but it gave her a kind and familiar feeling.The four meritorious officers on both sides were drowsy and did not notice He Qiong's arrival at all.

The Buddha's mother didn't leave any spiritual thoughts here, she couldn't feel his presence.

He Qiong suddenly remembered that Su Yue might have mentioned this.He lived in Chang'an when he was young, and his family took him to the largest Buddhist temple in Chang'an because he had been suffering from illness.According to his memory, he ran forward and ran alone while his family was not paying attention, and finally entered a side hall. When A Niang found him, she found him sitting on the ground alone, just staring blankly at the side hall. idol.

He said that the body of the statue was covered with feathers decorated with peacock feathers.

And this Buddhist mother was also wearing a peacock plume coat. Although it was worn out, her blue eyes never dimmed, as if she was always looking at her.

The four-valued meritorious Cao will wake up now, rubbing his eyes, and glanced at the immortal energy on He Qiong.They didn't dare to be negligent, so they asked aloud: "Dare to ask your lord, where is the sacred?"

"Who is he?" He Qiong asked in a daze.

"This is the Peacock Daming King Bodhisattva, the mother of the Buddha." The four-valued meritorious Cao looked at me and I looked at you, both feeling strange.It's okay, how could Sanxian run over?Only the monks who are responsible for incense and cleaning will come in to have a look every day.Occasionally, naughty children would come in and leave after just a glance.

"Why is the Buddha mother a man?"

The four-valued meritorious Cao thought it was even more ridiculous. This person might have been in hiding for many years and didn't know the world.The god of the year said: "Your Excellency, go ask the world and you will know."

She oh, raised her head and said, "I want to see him."

"The Buddha's mother is in the west, and we haven't seen her for a long time."

He Qiong said again: "In the past, there was a child who ran here and stayed for a long time and refused to leave?"

The god of the year said: "There are so many children coming and going, how do you know who your honor is talking about?"

"His name is Su Yue."

The four-valued meritorious Cao was silent for a while.They do know Su Yue...and who Su Yue is.It's just such things, how can you tell an outsider?Shi Nian God pondered for a long time and asked, "What is your relationship with him?"

"I will make a covenant with him for a lifetime." He Qiong's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "You recognize him? Don't you?"

The god of the year did not respond to this sentence, and asked directly: "Since you have decided to live your life privately, why did you come here to find him?"

He Qiong's eyes dimmed instantly, and she whispered: "Because he has passed away."

The four-valued meritorious Cao couldn't see through He Qiong's origin, but seeing her sincerity, what she said should be true.Love in the world is also a cause and effect, and the god said: "Your Majesty went to find the Buddha's mother, he knows the origin of Suyue."

"Really?"

He laughed and said, "How can there be lies in the Buddhist temple?"

After leaving Chang'an, He Qiong headed west all the way.

After staying in Chang'an City for a few days, from the mouths of others, I probably also learned why the Buddha's mother is a man.It turned out that the peacock was extremely ferocious. It not only ate people, but also swallowed the Buddha into its belly, forcing the Buddha to dig a hole out.I don't know if the Buddha lacks love, but he actually recognized him as his mother.

Some people say that peacocks and rocs are divine birds in ancient times, there is no difference between male and female, only the appearance of male and female.

He Qiong thought for a while, maybe Su Yue was a boy next to the Buddha's mother, who went down to earth to experience calamity.It's just that he has returned to the fairyland now, can he still be with himself?

Regarding this, she was really confused and panicked.

Because she was also going to the west, and on the way to ride the clouds, she also paid special attention to the human world to see if it was true as the rumors said.During the period, the Jade Emperor came to summon her again, this time it was Taibai Jinxing.

Taibai Jinxing asked with a smile: "Is the fairy too small for an official? Luofu Mountain is not big, so I really wronged the fairy. How about..."

She interrupted Taibai Jinxing, frowning and asked: "Why do you always come to me? I just want to be free and unrestrained in this world."

"It takes a short time for a fairy to become a fairy. I don't know that in this world, only those who have won the title of the heavens are immortals. Otherwise, they are no different from demons and have no benefit from cultivation."

He Qiong thought to himself that although he was very talented, he had the cultivation level of a Daluo Jinxian at the age of seventeen, so he must not be a mortal in the first life.It's just that the reincarnation of a hundred generations is too miserable, and it may be the Jade Emperor's fault.She was very reluctant to go to heaven, not to mention that she was still on the way to find the Buddhist mother and Su Yue.Anxious to declare himself, what good intentions do you have?

She said: "The demon is a demon. If you make me a saint equal to heaven, I won't go either."

Taibai Jinxing said: "Hey! You little girl, you are really stubborn. I don't know that the great sage of the past, and now the great sage who defeated the Buddha, was the old man who personally went to recruit him. Now that I see the old man, I have to thank you..."

"Who thanked you?"

Suddenly, someone in the air said such a sentence, interrupting their conversation.He Qiong raised his head and saw a monkey in cassock on the clouds above, looking at Taibai Jinxing dissatisfiedly.The latter's face was a little ashamed, he laughed twice, and said in the wind: "Great Sage! Are you passing by?"

"Brother, you are working hard for the Jade Emperor again, and dragging me into the water." The monkey jumped off the cloud head, dressed in cassocks, looked at He Qiong, and said, "My old grandson regrets it. Guoshan is free and easy, what's wrong?"

Taibai Jinxing said: "Great Sage, you are busy, I have other things to do, so I will take my leave first."

He drove away on the cloud, He Qiong laughed, and looked at the monkey again.Somehow, she had never seen this monkey before, but she also felt kind.

"Strange." The monkey stared at her with round eyes and said, "Did my old grandson see you?"

It turned out that he also felt the same way.He Qiong thought it was very strange, since she ate that peach, she met many people and things that she had never seen in her previous life, but felt strangely familiar.She took a few fixed glances at the monkey, smiled sweetly, and said, "I've never seen it before, but I feel familiar."

Seeing her smile, the monkey felt a warm current in his heart. He scratched his ears and cheeks with joy, and said with a smile, "Hey! I remembered! Do you still have peaches? That one is really good!"

He Qiong was taken aback.

She quickly recalled that a few days ago in Chang'an, she had indeed quietly placed a few peaches from Luofu Mountain on the altar of Dou Victory Buddha.
