[Journey to the West] Those things about me and Master

From a very young age, Honghai began to think that sentient beings hate demons and goblins and fear gods and gods, but because only gods and Buddhas in this world can suppress demons?But if there are no demons in this world, then what's the point of existence for gods and Buddhas? Wouldn't they become illusory phantoms, or dispensable existence?This whirling world is like the glazed pagoda with eight treasures in the hands of Li Tianwang, which is stacked from bottom to top. Even if the tiniest piece of tile at the bottom is removed, it will collapse in an instant.

He narrowed his eyes and raised his eyebrows to look at the golden Buddha sitting on the lotus, and smiled, "Who am I? It turns out to be the bald Tathagata."

Tathagata is holding a huge Buddha bead that is as tall as half a person, his eyes are indifferent, and he seems to see nothing. Before he can speak, the Vajra Arhat beside him is extremely dissatisfied. Mao Xiaoer, how dare you speak nonsense to the Buddha so disrespectfully!"

Hong Haier raised the gun and thrust it into the ground with a bang. The dragon, phoenix and crimson ocher battle skirt on his body was blown up, revealing the golden armored holy garment inside.Obviously he is just a fledgling kid, but his expression is full of pride, but his expression is full of pride, "Why, you are not willing to call me that? If you are not willing, then come and beat me, and see how I beat you all to the ground to fuck off!" Go home and find your mother!"

Listening to this, Sun Wukong's heart faintly moved, and the golden cudgel in his hand trembled uncontrollably, whistling continuously, as if he wanted to soar across the sky to have a hearty fight.But he glanced at Tang Sanzang who was staring at the sky beside him, and his heart became quiet, and he was silent for a while.

Those Arhat envoys wanted to turn over and go down to subdue them, but they were stopped by Tathagata.

"Hey, let others provoke you with a few words, and I will stand still like a rock. When you get angry, you will not harm others but yourself, and you will not know if you are in a maze. So, how can you talk about becoming a Buddha?" Tathagata shook his head, When he turned his head to look at Honghaier, Sun Wukong and others, he closed his eyes and turned the beads, saying, "Amitabha..."

The red boy drew his silver gun and pointed it straight at the Tathagata, his eyes filled with hostility, "Your grandfather's Buddha, I don't believe in Buddha!" ​​He waved his red-tasseled spear, pierced the sky and cut a gust of wind, "You keep saying that you are merciful and oppressed back then! I didn’t see your kindness and softness during the Great Sage! If you are a bald Buddha, if you still have blood, come down and fight with Grandpa and me!”

Tathagata looked at him, the smile on his face was still kind and benevolent, but for some reason it was a little colder.

"Oh?" He shook his head, his voice was like a bell ringing deep in the mountains, faintly hidden in the temple, and the ripples dissipated in just a moment, "You are not worth my hands."

Hearing this, Honghaier's eyes stared like copper bells, and he was furious.He stood on tiptoe, held the pistol and went up with a whistling sound, reaching the sky with all his supernatural powers.

Sun Wukong's heart tightened, his brows were tense.I saw the red boy looking up to the sky and screaming all over his body, with golden clouds surrounding his body, his eyes were on fire, the soles of his feet stepped on the wind, he jumped and stabbed straight at the Tathagata.Tathagata's complexion did not change at all, like an old pool of stagnant water, without waves.And the two arhats beside him were not easy to deal with. They were angered by the red boy at first, but now the man came to him on his own initiative.

Tathagata watched his two disciples wrestle with Hong Hai'er to the same place, with a calm expression and did not stop him.He turned his eyes and landed on Monkey King and Tang Sanzang, quietly inquiring.

"I haven't seen you for a few months, but you two, master and apprentice, have changed a lot."

Sun Wukong frowned, but Tang Sanzang was calm and composed. He bowed to the sky, and said in a clear voice, "Disciple Xuanzang has seen the Buddha."

Tathagata lifted up Tang Sanzang, who was bent over, from the air, "How have you been getting along with this Monkey King these past few years?"

Sun Wukong's heart trembled, and when he looked at Tathagata, his gaze was like a blade.Tang Sanzang didn't panic, he shook his head and said, "This scoundrel is very stubborn, he often opposes the disciple. Thanks to the golden hoop bestowed by the Buddha, the disciple can control him."

Tathagata nodded, looking at it, he didn't know whether it was clear, or he was relieved. "Although he is stubborn, he is also a talented person. If you can influence him, then you will have immeasurable merits and virtues in the Western Paradise, and you will have a high status."

Tang Sanzang frowned, but calmed down in an instant.He nodded and twirled the beads, respectfully said that the disciple knew.

Tathagata glanced at the red boy who was fighting with the two arhats over there, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.This goblin really has some patience.His heart skipped a beat, but he acted as if nothing had happened.

"Speaking of which, I still have something to discuss with you."

Although he talked about it, everyone knew that Tang Sanzang would not refuse his request.

"Buddha, please speak."

"Didn't you take the spirit of the false king of the Wuji country before? Buddhism is merciful, I want to ask you to release the spirit of that Taoist."

Tang Sanzang stroked the pouch on his waist, "What does the Buddha want this...for?"

Tathagata smiled and shook his head, "You don't know, this Taoist is actually a green-haired lion under the seat of Manjusri Bodhisattva. This time, he came to the Wuji Kingdom to wear a robe and crown as the king under the Buddha's decree. Now you subdue him , he should also return to his original position, and then go to be Manjusri's mount."

Sun Wukong's eyes were clouded, and he chuckled, "What kind of Buddhist decree did he follow to make the real king die at the bottom of the well? And why did he make it difficult for the concubines in the sixth palace to have a blind date with the king, and for the prince's east palace to have a hard time with his father? Recognize? He became a beast, invaded the throne, and said that he followed the Buddha's order, so how many orders should I get?!"

The Tathagata said in a low voice, "You don't know about this. At the beginning, the Wuji King was good at fasting monks, and he shared the sufferings of the people. I saw that he was a Buddha-nature, so I sent Manjusri Bodhisattva to save him and return to the west. , so early to become a golden arhat. Because Manjusri could not meet in person, he turned into an ordinary monk and went into the palace to ask him for some fasting offerings. Unexpectedly, the king was so arrogant that Manjusri said a few words It was difficult, so he was so angry that he sent people to tie up Manjusri and soak it in the Yushui River for three days and three nights." He narrated the past and shook his head, "Fortunately, Liujia Jinshen rescued him and told me about it, otherwise I still don't know how to end it. The king doesn't know good from bad, and has a very vicious heart. How can I let him go to the Buddha's land again? I can only order Manjusri to sit down and pretend to be a real person, and push him down the well. Three years, to repay the hatred of Manjusri's three-day flood. One drink and one peck, is it pre-determined? The king is just reaping the consequences and taking the blame!"

What a self-sufficiency and self-indulgence!

Sun Wukong almost wanted to clap for that Tathagata, he smiled awe-inspiringly, "The king only soaked in Manjusri for three days, but you let his body sink to the bottom of the well for three years. Yu Ren, but it turned out to be nothing more than that!"

He raised his eyebrows and looked at Tathagata, "You are merciful to that lion and cat monster, but back then, my grandson, I was tied to the demon-slaying platform and asked to be slain, thrown into the Bagua furnace and burned by the true fire of Samadhi, and was crushed under the Five Elements Mountain. Why didn't I see you pleading for me? When the lion kicked the false king into the well, why didn't I see you pleading for him? On the contrary, it was the old man Manjusri and the lion monster, but it had something to do with you. You just pretend to be merciful and plead for them?"

Tathagata frowned, but was not furious. "Your master's words are correct. You are very perverse, you still need to practice. I don't plead for you because you have made mistakes, and you will be punished if you make mistakes. And the lion cat has been in power for three years. The country is safe and the people, the weather is good, the country is safe and peaceful, never polluted the Sangong and Six Courtyards, never killed civil and military courtiers indiscriminately, although there is no great merit, but no great demerit. Now being beaten back to his original form by your master and apprentice, how innocent is he?"

Tang Sanzang recalled that day when the lion and lynx used sorcery to make Sun Wukong unable to move and sat under him, his eyes darkened.

At the beginning, he was bound by the red boy, and he had heard that person along the way that he was originally the King of the Holy Infant, the king of the monsters in this land, but unexpectedly, the lion and cat monster came to Wuji and called him the king, showing his might and domineering, and a mountain It's hard to tolerate two tigers, and the two of them naturally became rivals.This time he changed into the appearance of a little emperor to confuse their master and apprentice to get rid of the lion and cat monster, which was also one of his purposes.

Thinking about it, Tang Sanzang retracted his eyes, his eyes were deep.

"Xuanzang, the spirit of the lion and lynx, do you want to let it go or not?"

Tathagata sternly said, although he would not fall out with his master and disciples because of such a monster, but anyone who cultivates Buddha would naturally not be willing to offend him.

Tang Sanzang was touching the brocade bag at his waist, and was about to speak, but at this moment, there was a loud roar in the air, the red light soared into the sky, the air waves rolled, and the wind was like a knife blade, blowing up thousands of dust and gravel, grinding his body and skin painfully .

Sun Wukong was pierced by the blazing light so that he tightened his brows and covered his eyes with his hands. After the sharp light subsided, he opened his eyes wide and saw the red boy and Arhat who were writhing and entangled in the air, and the winner had already been determined. .

Honghai'er's golden armor was burnt out a few holes, and he held his chest with redness in his eyes, still unwilling to do so, but the bloody mouth, pale face, panting, seemed powerless to fight again .

The Arhat didn't fare well either, they were in disarray, but luckily the two of them attacked together, so the injuries they suffered were lighter than the red boy's.

Tathagata stared at that person, raised his voice and asked, "How about it, Holy Infant King, can you admit defeat?"

Red Boy clenched his silver gun tightly to support his body, he laughed and spat at the yellow land, "I only admit death, not defeat!"

It touches a pair of extremely staunch clank iron bones.

Tathagata shook his head regretfully, with a flick of his fingers, he covered Honghai'er with a vajra lotus flower, preventing him from moving.

"You have gone astray but you don't know how to repent. It seems that you can't do without polishing. But your understanding is very good, and the crimes you committed are unforgivable. Thousands of monsters want to become immortals, immortal, immortal, born, old, dirty, unclean, Live the same life as the heavens and the earth, and live the same age as the sun and the moon. I will grant you to be the good fortune boy of Avalokitesvara, so that you can get rid of suffering, find happiness and attain the fruit of cultivation!"

If three thousand sentient beings listen to this move, it must be a compliment to my Buddha's mercy.But when the red boy heard this, he seemed to have suffered a great humiliation, trembling all over, causing the lotus net to tighten more and more tightly.

"I don't want to be a fairy, I don't want to become a Buddha, I don't want to be a true fruit, I don't want to! The Great Sage save me, the Great Sage save me!!!"

He hugged his head tightly and rolled his body on the ground. The more intense the movements, the more painful he was, and there were endless screams during the resistance.

Seeing the tragic situation of the red boy, Monkey King felt a blockage in his chest.He pointed at Tathagata with a stick, his eyes were shining brightly, and he was shocked and angry, "Let him go."

Tathagata looked at him quietly without answering.Although Buddhism is merciful, he never changed his face when he struggled with the red boy.That's right, there is no form, no emptiness, and after the Buddha has no desires and demands, he should be heartless and ruthless.

He ignored Sun Wukong, and created a pool of nothingness out of thin air. With a single finger, the pool instantly reflected a scene somewhere in the end of the world like a mirror.

There are dense purple bamboos, agates everywhere, tall green hills, and towering mountains and islands, which are exactly auspicious mountains and rivers.On the high platform, there is a man in white clothes. His appearance is dusty, his hair is like a cloud, but for some reason, his expression is quiet and lifeless.He was explaining the Buddhist scriptures to his disciples, but he didn't expect the Tathagata figure to appear in the air, and his lips paused.

"Tathagata Buddha?..."

Tathagata looked at Avalokitesvara from a distance, one of them was a courtier and the other was a dignified prince, but unexpectedly, they all returned to the boat in the end.

He said in a deep voice, "Guan Shiyin, I have a monster here, with a stubborn temper, and a yellow-haired boy, would you accept him as a good fortune boy to teach you?"

Avalokitesvara was startled, and turned her head to look at the densely packed disciples, thinking of a certain person in her heart like touching a string.He shook his head and suppressed the ripples in his eyes, "I have taken in so many disciples, but there are very few who become Buddhas and Taoists. Lord Buddha, please forgive me, Guanyin... will not take any more disciples. "

"Oh? Didn't you say that if you can't cross the world, you will never become a Buddha. Now that such a good evil is presented to you, you don't want to cross it?"

Avalokitesvara's voice was a bit dull, without waves or ripples and no ups and downs, just dissipating in the mountain mist and wind.

"Not becoming a Buddha... Becoming a Bodhisattva is also very good. Avalokitesvara is only waiting for death, and does not seek other things. As the saying goes, Buddhism does not save people who have no predestined relationships. I only now understand that as long as there is one person in this world who can be saved, it is actually infinite. It doesn’t take too many people to save all living beings of the Dharma, and it doesn’t need too many Bodhisattvas.”

It's just that there is one person in this world...he can never get over.

Tathagata frowned when he heard his words. How could Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, who had sworn to save the world, suddenly change his wish and only seek Nirvana without desire and without others?But when he looked into Guanshiyin's eyes, that person's eyes were still clear and clean.

It seems that he has really experienced too many things in the world, and his state of mind has become an old man, who has no more thoughts about the world.

In order not to force him, he nodded and retracted the mirror image. When he looked at the red boy on the ground, he looked embarrassed.

Red Boy naturally heard Avalokitesvara's answer, coughed and smiled, and spat out blood, "Old Tathagata, what are you going to do with me this time?"

Goblins cannot be collected, so nature can only be eliminated.It's just a pity that this man has a good penetrating kung fu, the Tathagata closed his eyes and opened his mouth again, when he was about to speak, he saw Tang Sanzang took a step forward and saluted him solemnly, "Buddha, my disciples are willing to subdue this red boy and let him go!" He protects me and waits for sutras.”

The red boy admired Sun Wukong since he was a child, and if he could walk the same path with the hero in his heart, he would be willing to go if he was asked to be a cow or a horse.

Monkey King was about to capture the red boy, but he was taken aback when he heard this, but he didn't expect Tang Sanzang to intercede for the monster.Tang Sanzang untied the kit and held it up in the air, "Didn't the Buddha want the spirit of the lion and lynx? This disciple will give it to you. But this red boy... also hopes that the Buddha can bestow it on his disciple. Although the good fortune boy is good, the red Children also have parents. Although the distance between mountains and seas is not fatal, it is difficult to see them in front of their parents. It is better to follow me to go to the west to learn scriptures, and after obtaining the right result, let him return home and return to the cave to fulfill his filial piety. .”

The Tathagata looked at the bound red boy, and at Tang Sanzang with clear eyes, and remained silent.After a long while, he nodded, removed the lotus cover from Hong Boy's body, and pushed it in front of Tang San.

Tang Sanzang looked at the man in a state of embarrassment, and asked with fixed eyes, "Would you like to follow me to the Western Paradise to learn scriptures?"

Red Boy looked up at the blond-haired Shengyao Sun Wukong, with a complex and unspeakable expression.

In the end he nodded and gritted his teeth, "Remember, I didn't go to get the Western Scriptures for you, a stinky monk, but for the great sage! If I find out that you beat and scold him frequently or are not good at anything along the way, Then I peeled off your skin and cramped your tendons, ate your flesh and drank your blood, and smashed your bones one by one to make a pot of thick soup!"

Tang Sanzang laughed when he heard it, he blinked at Honghaier, and transmitted the sound silently.

If you want to touch me, it depends on whether your great sage agrees.

What do you mean?

Didn't you question me that night, this is the answer.

ah?

... I am his man.
