After all, this is the harem. A group of ministers stopped outside the palace gate. Although the important ministers in the front row moved lightly... they couldn't help but poke their heads in and look inside.
The Great Sage looked at the master who was standing there, still looking at the place where Manjushri Bodhisattva was sitting in a melancholy trance, and asked: "Master, don't you go and have a look?"
"If my teacher guessed correctly, this decree should be announced to the Dragon King of the Well. I won't go. You can go and see for yourself if you want." The main reason is that Fahai saw that the heavenly messenger who came down to earth to announce the decree was not the one who came to earth that day. Slave, then there is no interest.
Seeing that the master was unable to go, Wukong and the others, except for Xiao Bailong, did not join in the fun. They were just ministers of the heaven who announced the decree, nothing unusual.
Xiao Bailong was attracted to him because the Jing Dragon King was still a member of the dragon clan after all.
Sure enough, the envoy from Heaven crossed the harem and landed on the edge of the octagonal well in the imperial garden. He unfolded the imperial edict in his hand with a swish sound and said loudly: "The Dragon King of the Wuji Kingdom Well listens to the edict——"
Wow——
There was a soft splash of water, and an old dragon jumped out of the well. After landing, it transformed into the shape of an old dragon-headed man. He knelt down towards the imperial edict and said, "The little dragon is here."
The decree was announced inside.
Fahai stepped down the steps outside the hall and walked to the green lion. A ray of Buddha's light shone on him, waking him up.
"Hmm...ah..." After the green-haired lion groaned several times, he opened his eyes. In front of him was Tang Sanzang, the eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty who had captured him with one hand. He sniffed a few times and suddenly said: "Buddha?"
I looked around for a while, but I couldn't see the Bodhisattva. I asked anxiously: "Where is the Bodhisattva?"
It thought that the Bodhisattva had left him here.
The great sage replied: "Manjushri Bodhisattva has entered reincarnation."
When the green-haired lion heard this, he froze on the spot, feeling sad for a moment. After a moment, he spoke slowly, but with determination, "Since the Bodhisattva has entered reincarnation, I should follow him."
As soon as the words fell, it cut off its heart.
In fact, when he said this, Fahai had already realized that something was wrong. He held up the Buddha's light in his hand, but he was still a step too slow. He saw a lone soul floating out of it and facing Fahai's eyes.
Fahai looked at the soul in front of him and thought that he could keep its soul with just a wave of his sleeves, but he finally stopped.
"Thank you, holy monk, for helping me."
The soul of the green-haired lion bowed to Fahai and then went straight down the Nine Netherworld. If it walked faster, it might be able to catch up with the Bodhisattva in front.
"Oh." The great sage exclaimed when he saw it, and said: "He is too straightforward. Why doesn't he ask Manjushri Bodhisattva why he entered reincarnation? The disciple saw that the master wanted to keep him just now, but why did he let him go? Already?"
"Amitabha." Fahai recited the Buddha's name and said helplessly: "Although it is said that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, he is a loyal servant and has made up his mind to leave. How can I stop him for a while? Can you stop him for the rest of his life? All we can do now is to save him, pray, and hope that the two of them will meet in the next life and renew their relationship."
After Fahai finished speaking, he sat cross-legged on the ground and recited the salvation sutra. As the scriptures reveal the Dharma, a ray of Buddha's light shines from the human world into the underworld and envelopes the body of the green-haired lion——
The Great Sage was thoughtful after listening to Master's words. This Buddhist path to transformation is far from being as easy as imagined.
What exactly is a crossing?
Just like the kings and ministers of the Wuji Kingdom - like Manjushri Bodhisattva, who brought disasters and hardships, and then led the subjects of the country to achieve bliss; or as the Master said, people only seek peace in their lives, and there is no need to cross?
Look at this green-haired lion again - do you want to kill him and save his life?
Or should we let him go like Master and fulfill his loyalty?
The Great Sage was a little confused. He scratched his head and felt that it was more satisfying to slay demons and demons with the golden cudgel in his hand. If he were allowed to transform all sentient beings... I'm afraid his head would explode.
After a while, the great sage saw that the master had received the Dharma. The great sage couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.
"Amitabha." Fa Hai recited the Buddha's name and said: "It is a sin not to save someone when I see someone dead, and karma will be imposed on me. If I really want to ask questions about right and wrong...just like Manjushri Bodhisattva, it is difficult to save ordinary people."
Here, the green-haired lion chased Manjushri Bodhisattva into reincarnation, and over there, the angel in heaven also finished announcing his decree and went to the nine heavens.
The faces of the monarchs and ministers who came out later were not as worried as before.
The little white dragon who walked out together quickly walked up to the master and said: "Master, the Jade Emperor issued an order to say that King Jinglong has made great contributions in protecting the invincible body of the Lord of the Wuji Kingdom. He has been exempted from his sins in the past, and now he has been granted the title of Wuji Kingdom." The Dragon King of Chuanhu is in charge of rain in Wuji Kingdom."
"Good, good!"
It was not a decree from Heaven to punish sins, but it already made the monarchs and ministers of Wuji Kingdom breathe a sigh of relief. Now that a Si Yulong God was granted a title in their territory, it was even more unexpected.
After calming down after the impulse, they didn't know that trying to fight against the immortals and Buddhas with the power of a country is tantamount to hitting an egg against a stone. It is also possible that Manjushri Bodhisattva has his own practice and is not really doing evil. Otherwise... the consequences would be disastrous.
The king called all the officials back to the court and sent His Royal Highness out of the palace to appease the people.
After some preparations, the king put on the dragon robe again and ascended to the throne.
After the dynasty was over, the king held a banquet in honor of Master Tripitaka and all the other masters. The queen and the young prince also accompanied them.
Heaven.
"It's such a courageous thing." The Jade Emperor praised Manjushri Bodhisattva when he saw that he was reincarnated on his own to go through tribulations.
Guanyin Bodhisattva showed compassion on his face, but he didn't care too much about it. After all, it's not too unusual for immortal Buddhas like them to reincarnate and endure tribulations. Didn't the Jade Emperor in front of him also descend to earth and experience tribulations?
In the eyes of immortals and Buddhas, calamities are the only way to practice. This is one of the reasons why Manjushri Bodhisattva easily brought disasters to the Lord of the Wuji Kingdom. He had preconceived ideas... and had already regarded him as a human being. The future Bodhisattva will therefore set up disasters, but forgets that he is basically a human being, or a personal king.
The old man shook his fly whisk and said with a smile: "It is also a good thing for Manjushri Bodhisattva to reincarnate and cultivate again. If he can truly taste the suffering of the world and gain enlightenment... maybe there will be another great and wise Manjushri Buddha in Lingshan in the future. "
The Jade Emperor said: "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva gave up the righteous Dharma Ming Tathagata that he had witnessed in the past countless kalpas, and manifested the form of a Bodhisattva with the power of his great compassionate vows, hoping to inspire all Bodhisattvas to help all sentient beings... What about the Buddha? What about the Bodhisattva? What's inside is unknown. It’s just superficial.”
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva clasped his hands together and said: "The Buddha is not a Buddha, and the Bodhisattva is not a Bodhisattva. But since the King of Zhengfa Ming is Avalokitesvara, the poor monk's heart to save all living beings remains the same as before."
The Jade Emperor solemnly said: "The Bodhisattva's true body is here, but there are still thousands of incarnations doing good in the world at this moment. I admire it. But... Manjushri Bodhisattva reincarnates, does the Bodhisattva have rules?"
"What do you think, Your Majesty?"
"There is a small Buddhist sect in Dongsheng Shenzhou that is almost ruined. There is a village outside the mountain gate. An orphan mother is giving birth. Her fate is difficult to give birth and both the mother and her child are dead... Perhaps the spirit of the Bodhisattva can protect her and save her."
"good."
Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded in agreement, "Your Majesty, just let nature take its course."
"I don't have the leisure to bring calamity to Lingshan Bodhisattva, unless... after his calamity is complete, he abandons the Buddha and enters the Tao again, and comes to heaven to receive a righteous god."
Guanyin Bodhisattva: Why can’t we finish these three days?
...
It was already the early morning of the second day in the Black Chicken Country in the lower realm.
Master Fahai and his disciples took the customs clearance document and were about to resign as king and defect to the west. The king could not stay, so they had to present the treasures of the kingdom, gold, silver, satin and silk, with the concubines of the three palaces, the prince and other ministers. Pay favors to the mage.
Master Fahai and his disciples naturally refused to take anything from him. In the end, the king personally led a civil and military force to send the holy monk out of the city. Finally, he said sincerely: "Holy monk, I know I can't keep you here. I just ask that when the holy monk comes back from studying for scriptures, if our country is still there... you might as well come in and take a look."
Fahai heard the king's words and basically knew that his mind had been made up. But this kind of cause and effect also happens to him after all. If the Wuji country is in trouble...he will naturally not stand idly by.
But at this moment, Fa Hai didn't say much. He just put his hands together and said: "Amitabha, the Lord of the country is kind to me, but I dare not disobey this order."
Then, he led the disciples onto the Yangchang Road. Although they were still heading to the west, the interest of the master and disciples did not seem to be as high as before.
