Lingshan Kingdom

Buddha's birthday

"Huh - ah ah ah ah!"

A young girl with red and yellow varnish on her cheeks was trying to climb up an ancient linden tree that was so densely covered with golden spirit fruits.

She clung to the branches with her hands, and her body kept shaking.

A long golden silk dress on her body, and those white calves that kept kicking, all looked vivid and energetic.

She hasn't grown up yet, but her face has already made people hold their breath and dare not disturb her.

The hair was a gorgeous curl, braided into a long braid that reached to the ankles.

The golden eyes are shining with amber luster, and they were kissed by the Maya mother who blessed Lingshan. From the cheeks to the forehead is a long string of golden gemstone beads that outline the bridge of the nose, and the body is covered with gorgeous red golden feather quicksand.

At the end of her line of sight, there is a tree of ubala flowers blooming.

The person lying in the middle of the flower tree is not big.Four or five years older than her is just a teenager.But during the day, he sleeps with his arm on his pillow among the fragrant flowers.

His long black curly hair, which was blood related to the little girl, covered his face.Obviously, this is a pair of brothers and sisters.

The beautiful white flowers are all in one place for him.

For some reason, Lian Yishu favored him so much that he let him lie on the branch.

At this moment, the younger sister was about to play tricks on the tree.And tiptoeing up,? Seeing that he was still awake, the little girl only raised her dirty little hand, and pounced on him to play a 'prank' in his face.

"Big-lazy-worm! Wake up!"

This time of trouble, her brother's face was too 'unreadable'.

In this regard, a certain big brother who had known since she came up opened his eyes from the flower tree.Relying on being too tall,? As soon as he grabbed her, he began to hold her in his arms, and pinched her face like a model.

If you don’t pinch it, you don’t know. This pinching,? It feels so good.

Gu, who was very good at playing at a young age, saw his sister's face was so soft, it was fun to pinch, and she was so fat and ugly, it made him unable to stop laughing.

"Hahaha! You are so ugly, Gu Xixing, a girl whose parents are like an egg will never be able to marry again!"

This is too hurtful for self-esteem.

Obviously, other birds in Lingshan praised her for being pretty, but only Gu Donglai, a vicious guy, thinks she is ugly every day.

But helplessly, Xiao Gu Xixing saw his brother with a 'big face', enough to make flowers and birds love him, so he struggled in his arms and said,

"You're ugly, Gu Donglai is a big villain!!" The little girl beat him desperately.

"Huh? Call someone a villain, hurry up and call me brother."

Gu Donglai pinched her nose, causing the little girl's face to turn red.

"I don't bark! I hide and sleep every day, fighting with other birds! I don't practice dancing and singing for the Buddha's birthday, and I don't listen to Honghuzi. I mess around with the bird fairies and sisters all day long, it hurts. pain--"

"...Should I call? Should I call?"

The younger sister's "revealing the old background" has completely exposed the brother's true nature.

All the birds in Lingshan knew that her brother was a rebellious guy.

Both Honghuzi and Hanbi Fairy have warned him time and time again that he should practice singing and dancing well in his life, so that he can become a melodious bird to perform to Buddha as soon as possible.

But his brother is just different from others.Take today as an example, all the birds in Lingshan who wanted to perform dances for the Buddha flew to Xiaoxitian to participate in the puja, but his brother was the only one who deliberately refused to go.

Although, Xixing vaguely guessed the reason why he didn't want to go.

But thinking of a person like him who has always been arrogant, hiding here would rather sleep than tell others his true heart, this little sister still secretly came to see him.

Because she knew that Gu Donglai ignored others.

I will take care of her too.

Although this guy always bullies her, he is a person who will accompany her and spoil her when she is unhappy.

Thinking of this, there was a fuss on the tree, and the little girl, after both of them relaxed a lot, obediently lay on the other's back, covered her mouth and whispered into his ear,

"Brother, let me tell you something."

"what."

With long hair hanging down his shoulders, and a yellow-red varnish on his face, Gu Donglai sat up without wiping his face.

Instead, he touched the top of the little girl's head first, helped her pick off those leaves, and let little Xixing talk in his ear.

As he said that, he spoiled his younger sister and took apart her braids, and began to re-braid them.

His hands are skillful, always gentle, and he has endless patience with people.It doesn't hurt her at all.No wonder many bird fairies like him.

So seeing the little sister's braids in his hands quickly changed to the beautiful and lively appearance at the beginning.Gu Xixing said to his brother.

"I went to Xiaoxitian today, and saw the Buddha, many Bodhisattvas, and even the 'Wutong Tree Bodhisattva' under the lotus seat."

"and then."

Her brother's reaction was flat.It seems that he doesn't care about the existence of this person.

"The Bodhisattva sits on a very high place and ignores people with his eyes closed, but I think that's how a Bodhisattva should be, majestic and sacred. Although everyone says that birds are born to sing and dance, since the plane tree Bodhisattva can become a Buddha , why can't my brother do it?"

"My brother is Gu Donglai. He can pick flowers, braid hair, and beat those bad guys. He's better than many people."

"So, don't be unhappy, Xixing will always believe that you are the best, and will always believe in you!"

"If you are not happy anymore, just hug Xixing. Xixing always flies in the sky, and the feathers are golden. He will definitely bring all the warm sun in the sky to my brother!"

With these words, the little girl's eyes were full of smile and trust towards her brother.

Gu Donglai didn't make a sound.

But the boy's eyes were fixed on the hands he held with his sister.

Then, just when Xixing thought he didn't want to talk to him and didn't speak, this naughty guy suddenly grabbed the braid.

"Ah! Gu Donglai, why are you grabbing my braids!"

Xiao Xixing yelled in pain, but someone covered her head and rubbed her, and then hugged her own brother tightly.

"I need you to say I'm great."

"understood."

"Also, thank you my sister, I can feel the warm sun brought back to me in Xixing's arms."

(2) Buddha's Birthday 2

After that day, Gu Xixing was led by Honghuzi and other birds to prepare for the Buddha's birthday again.Gu Donglai was still disappearing alone, this time, no one could catch him again.

During this period, all the Buddhas of the three realms gathered in Lingshan.As Xiao Xitian's most humble and ordinary creature, the bird cannot participate in this discussion.

However, as a young girl, Xixing vaguely heard something from the mouths of other bird sisters flying out of the Great Thunder Sound Temple.

That is, the Demon King is also here this time.

Who is the devil.The entire Lingshan, including Xiaoxitian's creatures, knew about it.

It is said that the name of this demon king is Bo Xun. He is tall and handsome, with black hair and black eyes. He is a king who is more magnificent and handsome than mountains.

Back then, he married Buddha's younger sister, Li Shan, but he always hated Buddha in his heart.

He believed that the Buddha's compassion for people, birds and beasts had violated his kingship, so he proposed several times to slaughter the mortal world and drown all mortals and beasts without wisdom roots in floods.

But Buddha didn't think that both beasts and people deserved to die.

But the Demon King laughed at him at this time, saying that when he became enlightened, he fed the eagle, was eaten by the Capricorn fish, was poisoned and framed by people, and always died by himself, which actually benefited these lower realm creatures.

Such a cruel and cruel demon king is not popular among the people.

But this time, he was able to come to Lingshan to meet the Buddha in person because of one thing, a very bad thing.

That was the first time that a Buddha and Bodhisattva voluntarily gave up his identity as a Buddha and fell into the devil world in Xiaoxitian.

That Bodhisattva is called Kinnara Bodhisattva.

According to Buddhist scriptures, Jinnara Bodhisattva was originally a saint who became a Buddha through hard work.

He is merciful by nature, kind and caring for mortals, so he practiced in the lower realm all year round, but one time, when he came to a place, he found that there were three people in that place.

Those three people were a man who was a thief for ten lives, a villain who was a murderer for ten lives, and a woman who was a prostitute for ten lives.

Because of obsession, each of these three people suffered from samsara and could not be freed. Bodhisattva Kinnara saw their physical suffering and decided to save them respectively. When facing thieves and villains, he was able to use Buddhist teachings to make them wake up.

But just after meeting that prostitute, Kinnara Bodhisattva, who had never had human desire, relapsed because of this.

Because the woman is very beautiful and kind, there is also an unusual brilliance in her eyes.

Although her fate was bitter, she was very strong, and she told him after she was first saved by Kinnara Bodhisattva.

The other party is the only man in this world who doesn't come for her body.

Although this man is a Buddha, she is still willing to try to escape fate and reincarnation for him.

However, being teased by the secular world, this woman was forced to sell her body again and died tragically in front of the Bodhisattva when she faced the disaster of Kinnara Bodhisattva.

This made Kinnara Bodhisattva very sad.

So he gave up becoming a Buddha, and he would fall into hell with that woman, and never return to Xiaoxitian again.

The bird fairies said this and told everyone that it was because of the tribulations that Kinnara Bodhisattva experienced in the human world and the love of the woman that he had fallen into hell.

Now, the demon king Bo Xun and Siddhartha Buddha are having a five-day and five-night discussion on this.

The result of the discussion between the two is still unknown, but the demon king brought something very bad this time.

"What bad things can the devil bring? It can't be a monster that only exists in the devil world, right?"

Nishiyuki asked innocently.

"No, the devil brought 'karma'."

The bird fairies seemed to be terrified.

"'Cause and effect'? What is 'cause and effect'?"

It's a strange and esoteric word for birds.

"I don't know. I heard that Kinnara Bodhisattva became a demon by accepting this thing. The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas seemed to look very dignified after seeing that thing. Now the discussion about Kinnara Bodhisattva by the demon king and Buddha is not over yet. If If winning or losing really happens, then 'karma' will be cast into the world by the devil."

"I heard that this thing called 'cause and effect' can bring love, hatred, desire, make people kill, make people greedy, make people die, and make people separate. Horrible stuff."

"If 'karma' is spread to the human world, then no matter how many reincarnations there are in the future, countless mortals will suffer because of it."

"And all of this, I'm afraid even the Buddha can't save it."

(3) Buddha's Birthday 3

This sentence is like a bad prophecy.

For the next five days and nights, the discussion in Leiyin Temple continued.

It can be seen in the Buddhist scriptures of later generations.

The Buddha once said to Bo Xun that love is not a matter between two people, but a responsibility.You love someone, but you can wantonly hurt her family and everything. This is no longer love, but greed like a hungry ghost.

If you are a parent, you will not kill your children.

As sisters, you should not kill each other.

However, the demon king dismissed this, and instead secretly ordered the group of demons to come under the bodhi tree and start a battle to seal the demons.

In order to stop the demon, the Buddha and Bodhisattvas started fighting with Bo Xun and fought back on his birthday.

But at this time, Buddha's younger sister Li Shan actually helped Bo Xun.The poison was cast in the worship of the Buddha in advance, and the body of the Buddha was cut into eight pieces and thrown on the Lingshan Mountain.

A causal tragedy that made everyone unbelievable really happened.

Because the demon king Bo Xun got the help of Li Shan and killed the Buddha.

When the Buddha died, his body died tragically, and he was thrown on the Lingshan Mountain. The rest of the bodhisattvas died tragically fighting against the demons. Even the sycamore tree Bodhisattva who protected the Lingshan also died. The demon won for the first time.

At this time, the devil said that since the Buddha tried his best, he let him try the pain of being killed by his relatives and sisters.

The beast eats him, which is his parents.

Li Shan poisoned him to death, but she was also his sister.His parents and sister have abandoned him.This time, it depends on whether there are wild beasts in the world of his Purdue who are unwilling to starve to death and eat him.

If there is, then the last one will help Buddha defeat Bo Xun and is Buddha's only hope.

These flesh and blood were thrown on the Lingshan Mountain.The first seven pieces were eaten by wild beasts and turned into eight tribes.

These eight are the first eight monsters from the demon world. After that, they also flew into the human world, surrendered to the demon king, and began to do evil in the world. But what the demon king did not expect was that the last piece of flesh and blood of the Buddha disappeared after that.

Who was the last creature that swallowed the Buddha but did not turn into a demon became the biggest mystery in the battle to seal the demon.

But 400 years later, the answer to who the last Buddha-swallower was will be revealed.

(4) Buddha's Birthday 4

Lingshan Kingdom

After eleven months of war.Lingshan and Xiaoxitian finally lost completely.

The King Ming Bodhisattva under the plane tree turned into a huge divine bird, its eyes weeping with blood, and its body was on fire. After exhausting itself for Lingshan, it was about to die on the plane tree under the Tianzhu.

The other party went back to that day, when the peacock was still a teenager and hid in the bird forest with his younger sister.

So this became the only meeting between him and this Bodhisattva in his life.

In the past many years, Gu Donglai is very clear that the other party never admits that he is anyone's father or mother.

To that Great Ming King, they were just the two demonic lights of worldly sins that fell from his body when he crossed the boundary line and enlightened before he became a Buddha.

The demons of ordinary people will be extinguished when they fall to the ground.Only he and his sister gave birth to peacocks and rocs because they accidentally fell on a nest of dead eggs in Lingshan.

As long as they can remember, this bodhisattva has only existed in the ancient legends of Lingshan.

Because Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are heartless, desireless, and ruthless. Even the biological younger sister, parents and relatives of the Buddha before enlightenment followed him to convert to Buddhism, and no longer continue to influence each other's practice with worldly feelings.

Perhaps, it was once a creature with a beating heart of flesh and blood.

But now it is just a bodhisattva who is neither sad nor happy.I don't care about these two unclear bloodlines in my heart.

Even at the annual Buddhist meeting in Lingshan, when they sneaked away to see each other as young dancing birds, the golden-haired Bodhisattva with a majestic appearance just meditated on the altar, never opening his eyes to pay attention to such a small life of the two of them.

But on the night when Xiaoxitian and Lingshan were about to be destroyed, the red Buddha's hand came down, and this great God of War Bodhisattva was about to die with all the Buddhas.

This legendary divine bird finally flew back to the phoenix tree for the first time, and then lay on the top of the tree and spoke the first words in his life to the peacock protected by it under the tree and the roc in his arms.

The voice of the giant divine bird sounds gender-neutral.

When it became a bodhisattva, it was already a deity transcending the three realms, but it finally ushered in its own death in this disaster that destroyed everything.

But no one expected that at this last moment, it would meet these two people at the last moment of its own life.

Because Peacock, who was hiding in the battle of Lingshan with his sister, saw it.

"What's your name."

The divine bird with golden-red feathers closed its eyes, and barely had the strength to say these words slowly.The young but stubborn Peacock didn't know why he had a very strange emotion for the first time.

He's used to having nothing.That's why young Gu Donglai didn't cry.

There was only an almost stubborn blankness in his expression, and the beautiful long tail feathers that dragged on the ground became dirty, and he carried his little sister Xixing on his back, letting her fall asleep innocently.

But before that, he never thought that the other party would ask him what his name was.

A bodhisattva is a bodhisattva.Not anyone's parents, he'd known.But why did we have to meet again this time?

"I'm Gu Donglai."

The boy kneeling on the ground did not say that he was Mo Ke or Peacock.He only said that his name was Gu Donglai.It's like Gu Donglai is himself, the complete embodiment of his life.

In addition, any other title that belongs to others above him, proud as a peacock, refuses to accept it.

"Gu Donglai."

Shenniao actually knew him, and after a moment of silence, he opened his mouth and said,

"I know you."

"I didn't expect it to be you."

--I know you.

These four words are really cold, and they really look like something a Bodhisattva would say.

It's as if he has always been aware that there is such an unimportant person in the world, but he has never learned about it. Even if he knows that his name is Gu Donglai, he just heard it from the ears of others.

Other than that, there is nothing left.

"Can you give me a hug?"

At this time, Gu Donglai said to this divine bird that was much bigger than him,

"Xingxing, Wangshu, they can be hugged when they are young."

"Why am I the only one who is unhappy? I've never been hugged by anyone when I'm sick. I've been bullied by Gu carvings, and I've been hurt all over the body and fell to the bottom of the cliff. Practicing technique."

"Because everyone says I'm delusional."

"I have to fly [-] miles alone every day. I can't move my wings anymore and I can't drink water. I'm better than many birds in the sun, lightning, and rock pecking, but it seems that I still can't do enough. .”

"They all said that you have long forgotten the existence of me and Xixing."

"I feel like I'm just a magic bird that shouldn't have existed in the first place, so since you became a Buddha, you never thought we existed at all."

"But why, I was born like everyone else, and I didn't miss anything. I have never had these things that other people can have."

These complaints came from a young bird, but the old divine bird that had lived for tens of millions of years before that was silent for a long time.

It doesn't seem to be able to do this, nor understand it.

In other words, it may have understood it, but later let it go.

"...Then you... are really brave."

"Because you have never owned these things before, but you still persist until now, protecting yourself and others, and you don't need others to admit that you are already much stronger than many people."

"But... sorry, I still can't hug you."

This sentence of refusal made the hand of the boy who was begging someone to hug him for the first time tremble with his hands that were about to bleed.

He felt that the huge divine bird Bodhisattva in front of him was covered in blood, and it looked extremely painful. What's worse, he almost had a strong premonition that the bodhisattva's weak appearance might be about to die.

He knew earlier that they were the most alienated relationship in the world.

But he is still obsessed with this, wanting to get the last hug from the other party.

But the bodhisattva is merciful and merciful to the world, but he does not sympathize with him.

The divine bird under the sycamore tree did not explain in the end why fate would make them meet at the last moment of their lives.

Does it really love them?

Did it admit for a moment that the peacock was its child, it never said so.It only told the peacock one truth.A living principle that will affect him for many years and many years later.

"Gu Donglai."

"Never expect to have a hug that can make you rest and rely on the warmest place in the world."

"Hugging will make all living beings weak, they will start to yearn for the warmth under their wings, and they will learn to cry to another person, but you can't cry in front of anyone, and you can't be a person who needs to rely on others."

"Anyone in the world can be like that."

"But only you, Gu Donglai, can't."

Dissipating in the red flame-like nirvana aura, the sycamore tree god bird said to him word by word, with blood dripping from its beak but trying to amplify its voice.

"You are the only one who ate Buddha, but not for survival but for sacrifice and protection, so this is your destiny."

"Three thousand worlds of Buddhism have been destroyed, from now on all things can become Buddhas."

"Once the Buddhas in Lingshan are gone, you can go to the human world to seek the Dharma from the Ksitigarbha King. If you can really overcome fate, learn the great wisdom of Buddhism, practice your own dharma body, and kill all demons, then you The path of cultivating Buddha has really started since then.”

"Everything in the world will respect you as Peacock King Bodhisattva."

"And your duty is to kill demons all your life until the light of the world returns to the earth. Only then will the great wishes of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas be realized, and the Buddhas in Lingshan will be freed from the cycle of reincarnation and return to their original positions."

"Remember, even if Gu Donglai's life falls into hell, he can't lower his head to beg for mercy from any demon, he can't cry, he can't be weak, even if he dies, he must die with a radiant light that burns across the three realms like a raging fire. "

"You are a proud and noble divine bird. In your bones, you only live for your own honor and your own blood. Your fate is not up to you."

"Because Gu Donglai is the prince of this land."

"It's the elder brother of the little girl on your back, the protector of the world who is suffering at the moment, and will be the king in everyone's mind in the future, so you can no longer ask for hugs from others."

……

"After the three generations of reincarnation, I, the old Great Ming King Bodhisattva, will die at this moment. The gods and Buddhas of Lingshan and Xiaoxitian will bless you and make you the new king of birds in Lingshan."

"From now on, King Ming Gu Donglai is the only guardian of Lingshan, Peacock Daming King Bodhisattva—"
