The Tathagata Buddha frowned as he listened to the reports of Manjusri, Samantabhadra, Guanyin Bodhisattva and others.
"Sage Tongtian suddenly appeared in Black Wind Mountain?"
"Isn't he imprisoned in Zixiao Palace by Dao Ancestor?"
Hearing Tathagata's question, Guanyin Bodhisattva and others felt helpless. If Tongtian hadn't suddenly appeared, Du Fei would have been saved to Lingshan by now, and how could they be like this?
Lost the treasure and lost the demon!
"Buddha, that bear demon is protected by Saint Tongtian. I'm afraid we won't be able to take action again." Manjushri Bodhisattva took the initiative.
"Unless there is an invitation, several Buddhas will appear together."
Samantabhadra Bodhisattva took over the words.
Hearing this, Tathagata suddenly felt unhappy on his face.
In order to save a bear demon and enter Buddhism, he actually had to invite the two established Buddhas, Jieyin and Zhunti.
This is simply unreasonable!
Thinking of this, he looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva, who had been silent all this time.
"Venerable Guanyin, what do you think?"
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva clasped his hands together and saluted: "Report to me, Buddha, that the group of pilgrims will arrive at my disciple's lower realm monastery in the near future. I think this is the fundamental matter of my Buddhism."
Tathagata Buddha nodded slightly, "Not bad."
But he changed the subject, "But now that the bear demon is protected by a saint, I'm afraid it won't be catastrophic. Who should be responsible for this disaster?"
Guanyin put his hands together and said: "This matter starts with the disciples and should be solved by the disciples."
"Please forgive me, Buddha!"
"Can!"
Seeing Guanyin's assurance, Tathagata stopped asking any more questions.
It was not until after leaving the Great Leiyin Temple that Guanyin Bodhisattva finally showed a trace of sadness in his eyes.
The black bear spirit was an important figure in Tang Sanzang's case of losing his cassock. Now that Du Fei was so wary of Buddhism, he would definitely not commit theft again, and he did not have a suitable demon candidate under his command.
The carp spirit has become a problem in Tongtian River.
The mount Jinmao was also sent to the Zhuzi Kingdom early.
Is it possible to let Hui'an or Dragon Girl next to him replace Black Bear Spirit? But these two people, Sun Wukong, are too familiar.
While meditating, Guanyin suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"Master Jinchi?"
…
Seventy miles away from Heifeng Mountain is Guanyin Temple.
In the past year, Elder Jinchi's life has been very uncomfortable.
King Heifeng, who had close contact with him in the past, suddenly cut off contact with him. The novice monks sent to deliver messages were blocked every time, and their words were consistent. Heifeng Mountain would no longer be involved with the Zen Yuan.
It wasn't until later that he knew the reason.
It was actually the Bodhisattva who appeared as a saint and wanted to save the demon king, but failed and instead caused a huge conflict.
To be honest, Elder Jinchi does not really regard the black bear spirit as a close friend.
Just to get some life-extending elixir from there!
Ling Xuzi and Hei Xiong Jing were sworn brothers who had known each other for eight worships. Elder Jinchi could not fawn over Ling Xuzi, so he turned to the Buddhist-admiring Black Bear Jing, sought his favor, and sought spiritual elixirs from Ling Xuzi.
Now that the two sides have stopped contacting each other, so has the elixir.
Elder Jinchi has a sad face and a sad heart every day, always worrying about how many days he has left to live well.
By the way, he scolded Guanyin a few times, blaming her for ruining his longevity plan.
"well……"
"Send someone to Black Wind Mountain tomorrow to ask."
After blowing out the lamp and candle, Elder Jinchi sighed softly, prepared to make one last attempt, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.
"Golden pool..."
In the hazy dream, a female voice suddenly came.
Elder Jinchi looked up and found that he was in a bamboo forest shrouded in spiritual mist. He was full of confusion when a holy woman dressed in white as snow suddenly appeared.
"Buddha?!"
Seeing the woman's appearance, Jin Chi's old eyes widened instantly.
"You can still recognize me." The woman in white clasped her hands together, with kind eyes and a soft voice.
Elder Jinchi heard this and saluted quickly:
"Disciple has seen Bodhisattva!"
Guanyin nodded slightly and said directly: "This time I entered the dream with my spiritual thoughts to entrust you with an extremely important matter."
Elder Jinchi was overjoyed and said, "Please let the Bodhisattva speak clearly."
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva continued: "Tomorrow, two monks and disciples from the East will stay in the Zen monastery. At that time, you will make things difficult for them, and you will have to complete two steps, one..."
"Do you remember?"
After stating the requirements one by one, Guanyin asked.
Elder Jinchi looked troubled, "Bodhisattva, as you said, Monk Tang's disciple has great supernatural powers and boundless power."
"Everyone in the courtyard is ordinary. If he threatens me, I might not be able to withstand him."
"It doesn't matter."
Guanyin Bodhisattva waved her jade hand and sprinkled a ray of clear light on him, "This is the Buddha's robe to avoid spirits. There is nothing any monk can do to you. All you have to do is reveal your identity as the master of the lower realm and refuse to cooperate."
Guanyin's idea is very simple.
As long as Jinchi hides the cassock, denies hiding it, relies on the identity of the master of Guanyin Temple, and adds the Buddha's robe to avoid spirits.
Tang Sanzang's masters and disciples would definitely do nothing to him.
At that time, I have no choice but to ask her to come forward.
If you lose your cassock, it will happen naturally!
Thinking of this, she smiled slightly and said, "Jinchi, I know you have been seeking immortality for a long time. If you can accomplish this, I will grant you immortality after it is over. You must do your best."
Hearing this, Elder Jinchi was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed and said: "Thank you Bodhisattva, I will definitely live up to your destiny!"
"Well, you go ahead..."
The figure of Guanyin Bodhisattva disappeared, and the spiritual mist rolled.
Elder Jinchi suddenly woke up from his dream in the bamboo forest.
"Was this just a dream?"
He sat up and murmured, then seemed to remember something and quickly touched his body.
Only then did I realize that I was actually wearing a golden Buddhist robe!
"What I saw in my dream was real!"
Elder Jinchi was surprised and happy when he saw this. When he thought of the immortality promised by Guanyin Bodhisattva, he burst into tears and was so happy.
It took him a long time before he remembered what Guanyin had told him to do.
Then he shouted out the door: "Guangmou, Guangmou!"
Hearing the sound, a sturdy monk in his thirties hurried into the Zen room. When he saw Elder Jinchi sitting on the bed, he quickly stepped forward to worship and said, "Master, what are your orders to me?"
Elder Jinchi said: "Go, ask someone to prepare enough firewood immediately, I will be of great use!"
"Master, how many should I prepare?" Guangmou asked doubtfully.
“The more the merrier!!”
…
"so much?!"
Somewhere in the mountains to the east, Tang Sanzang was riding a white dragon horse and said helplessly to the monkey: "Wukong, why are you picking these green dates?"
"Today we will leave this mountain."
"There is no need to prepare so many fruits to eat on the way."
Sun Wukong carried a jujube branch as big as a broom and reached out to pluck the jujubes one by one without raising his head.
"Hey, Master."
"The green jujubes from the mountains taste good. I'm thinking of picking more and selling them all when I get to the market. I can earn some money and save them for expenses on the road." The monkey packed a large number of green jujubes into his luggage and said with a smile.
Logically speaking, monks should not engage in husband-mongering.
But now that he has been traveling west for half a year, Tang Sanzang no longer sticks to these irrelevant rules.
Being able to support oneself is easier than going around asking for help.
Not to mention, a while ago, there was a reminder on his mobile phone that he would have to spend bear coins to watch movies in the future, and the bear coins could only be exchanged for silver coins. But now, he had very little money left from the money given by the King of Tang.
If he could make some extra money, he would be able to top up some bear coins to watch movies when he arrived at Black Wind Mountain soon. With this thought in mind, he said no more.
As the saying goes, the spring breeze brings joy to the horse's hoofs.
The two masters and apprentices headed westward and soon came out of the steep mountains.
When they got outside, they saw the mountains and forests were green, and the grass and trees were sprouting green. The plum blossoms were all gone, and the willow eyes were beginning to open. The master and disciples were walking around in the scenery, and saw the sun setting in the west. After passing a forest, Tang Sanzang suddenly reined in his horse and watched from a distance.
I could only see the shadows of towers in the distance and the dark palaces.
"Wukong."
"Where do you think that is going?"
The monkey threw away his luggage, jumped up to the top of the tree, took a look, and said with a smile: "Master, what a good place! What a good place!"
