Former Buddha.
Uparatha Buddha.
It's no wonder that the Great Sage doubted him, mainly because along the way, the former Buddha, who had passed away, had indeed done a lot of things, and his presence was very high among Tang Monk and his disciples.
Therefore, when the great sage heard the advice from an old monk, he subconsciously thought of this Buddha.
"It shouldn't be this time." Bajie stood aside and said: "Master said that Upaladha Buddha passed away more than 1,200 years ago, and these three rhinoceros spirits were taught by the old monk about a thousand years ago. The time of incarnation is not right."
"Wait a minute." Nezha said quickly: "The Summer King just said that they received guidance when they were young. Pushing forward two hundred years, wouldn't it be when they were young?"
"Everyone, please wait a moment. I'll go and ask for clarification." Nezha said first, then he held the magic formula and transferred his mind into the pagoda. He was about to ask, but saw that the three monsters had calmed down, so he used Huntian Ling tied up the Summer King and released him from the tower.
Just ask them in front of everyone, so you don't have to spread the word yourself.
When everyone saw Nezha releasing the Summer King, they also knew his intentions.
Nezha kicked the Summer King who was still in a daze. The Summer King's legs went soft and he knelt on the ground. Nezha put the fire-pointed gun on his neck and said sternly: "I ask you again, what happened to the old monk?" When did he enlighten you to practice? And when did you instruct you to come here to pretend to be Buddha and collect offerings?"
"Think about it before we talk." Nezha snorted coldly: "After you finish speaking, I will ask the two of them again. If there is a sentence that they don't agree with. Hum, you know what will happen!"
Nezha, a born evil star, just looks like a child, but when it comes to various ruthless methods, he is even more cruel than the Great Sage and Erlang Shen.
The Summer King was not afraid after hearing this. He had already begun to explain anyway. One more sentence and one less sentence made no difference to the Summer King. They were just capturing their brothers this time, not asking Master Tripitaka to directly save them. Obviously, they had no intention of doing so. If he had killed his three brothers and honestly cooperated with the questioning and told everything he knew, he might have been given a lighter sentence.
As for whether it would implicate the old monk, the old monk had long since disappeared; secondly, he couldn't care much about it at the moment.
He was prepared to admit leniency.
Thinking of this, the Summer King said: "When our brothers first met the old monk, we should have been around a hundred years old. We are now over fourteen hundred years old, and we met this old monk more than thirteen hundred years ago. An old monk."
For monsters who often live for thousands of years, a hundred years is indeed a young age.
"It took us about a hundred years to practice until we were able to transform." The Summer King didn't wait for Nezha to ask, and answered the second question very consciously: "The old monk taught my three brothers magical powers. He knew that we and others He loves to eat Suhe sesame oil, so he asked me to bless the people of Jinping Mansion with good weather in exchange for the sesame oil."
"So." Fahai asked: "The old monk just gave you instructions to protect the people?"
"yes."
The Great Sage also asked: "Then the matter of pretending to be Buddha was your own initiative?"
"Ah, this." The Summer King really wanted to leave this matter to the old monk, but he was caught by the gazes of these people, especially when he met Master Sanzang's eyes that seemed to penetrate into the soul, he did not dare to lie. , then lowered his head and whispered: "It's not like we made our own decisions. It was already more than two hundred years later when we cultivated magical powers and came out of seclusion. It is now that the old monk from a thousand years ago has disappeared. We can't wait any more. I know his traces, but I can't find him anywhere. But I still remember what he told us, so I came to Jinping Mansion."
"But we are just goblins, how can we easily receive the crispy sesame oil offered by the human race?" The Summer King explained: "Originally I just wanted to pretend to be a mountain god. But the incense in Tianzhu Buddhism is strong, and I don't know how to get it from people. How could it be said that the Buddhas had descended and then we came to the Jinping Mansion, and simply used the name of the Buddha to trick the prefect at that time, asking them to offer sesame oil every year, and we wish them good harvests and good health."
"We have always been in peace and harmony?" Yang Jian said aside: "When the people of Jinping Mansion are short of offerings, aren't you waiting for cholera?"
"Uh-huh." After hearing this, the Summer King finally knew where their brothers had made a mistake. It couldn't be ignored. It was indeed them who did it.
At that time, if the Jinping Mansion didn't care about Heaven and Lingshan, wouldn't it be their world?
But precisely because they were at the foot of Lingshan Mountain and they had the guidance of the old monk, they did not dare to go too far. Therefore, they had a chance to survive today.
But it can only save one life. As for how long he will be detained in the sky prison and what kind of punishment he will receive, that is the matter of Zhenjun Erlang.
Master Sanzang couldn't help but sigh. Since Erlang Zhenjun became the God of Justice, he has become much more relaxed. He doesn't have to think about whether they should die when catching monsters like before, let alone those who have made mistakes but are not destined to die. Goblins don't get the punishment they deserve and are appropriate.
These things are all headaches for Zhenjun Erlang now.
The whole story was basically clear. Although he did not think that what King Bishu was telling was a lie, Nezha still brought up King Bichen and King Bihan together just in case, without giving them a chance to collude. Made some inquiries.
Got the same answer.
After Nezha brought the three demons into the Linglong Pagoda, the Great Sage said from the side: "In other words, the old monk who gave them guidance is most likely the former Buddha Upalatha Buddha."
"Whether that old monk is Upaladha Buddha or not, they have never been allowed to cause trouble here. It's a pity that after they cultivated their supernatural powers, the old monk disappeared. If not, maybe their three-headed moon-watching sympathies are not impossible. Get the right result."
Nowadays, Fahai no longer believes that monsters are inherently evil, especially after meeting the little fox in Wanku Mountain and the little pig monster in Langlang Mountain.
What is lacking is only correct teaching. For example, the seven grandsons of Jiuling Yuansheng are demons, but they do good deeds.
Fahai also kept this matter in mind for the time being, and planned to ask Buddha for clarification after going to Lingshan Mountain.
Unexpectedly, even if he is not Upalatha Buddha, he is also a true Buddha with a high position in Buddhism. Otherwise, how could Lingshan allow three goblins to act in Jinping Mansion under the guise of Buddha's name?
It's not too late, it's not even past midnight, and I can still catch up with a bowl of hot Yuanxiao when I get home.
Erlang Zhenjun and others then left one after another. Nezha made an extra trip and sent the people to Guanjiangkou first, and then returned to Chentangguan.
As for the Meishan brothers and the grass-headed gods, they have almost wiped out the goblins in Xuanying Cave in Qinglong Mountain, and are now pressing the little goblins back.
With Wu Jing's help, naturally no one who should be arrested was spared, and no one who had committed any crime was unjustly accused.
After Xiao Bailong waited for the matter in Jinping Mansion to be settled, he ate a bowl of Yuanxiao and went directly to Qinglong Mountain. It was his job to deal with the aftermath of the little monsters here.
The division of labor between master and apprentice became increasingly clear.
The master is in charge of the overall situation, the senior brother subdues and eliminates demons; the second senior brother buries the pot to make rice; junior brother Sha saves the souls of the dead and records the customs. And the little white dragon is naturally the one who educates the little demons.
Tonight's Jinping Mansion was destined to be sleepless.
But when the Three Holy Mothers left, they used lotus lanterns to soothe the people's moods and let them fall asleep.
Later, another god came into his dream and explained that the three demons pretended to be Buddhas to collect offerings. He also said that the Jinping Mansion would be fine in the future, and as long as the government was in good hands and the people were harmonious, the weather would be fine.
Because it was Erlang Shen, the true king who was famous in the Three Realms, who entered the dream in person, and the people of Jinping Mansion saw the sight of three big rhinoceroses appearing in mid-air at night, there was no doubt about it.
Early the next morning, the government posted a notice stating that the Lantern Festival would still be the same next year, and the golden lantern would still burn for three nights, but it would no longer contain 1,500 kilograms of sesame oil. It is purchased by the government and does not require donations from the people;
He also said that the battle to permanently eliminate the large lamp oil households in Mintian County;
Furthermore, another temple needs to be added, called the Demon Subduing Temple. There are several temples in the temple, including those for Erlang God, those for Three Holy Mothers, and those for Nezha. Naturally, there will not be another temple for Roaring Sky Dog, which will be built together with the Meishan brothers. It is placed in the Erlang Temple. Of course, the masters and disciples of Tripitaka are also indispensable. The five congregations share one temple.
Most of the people in Jinping Mansion actually have no real feelings about these changes. They have more to talk about after dinner. But for the two hundred and forty large lamp oil companies, it is completely different.
Without the 1,500 kilograms of annual offerings, their hard days would obviously be over.
Therefore, I waited outside Ciyun Temple early to express my gratitude in person.
In addition to them, the magistrates of Jinping Prefecture and Mintian County also came with officials, big and small, to see Master Tripitaka. But when the temple door opened, they learned from the old master of the temple that Master Tripitaka and his disciples had already died. Already gone.
As for when they left, they slept so hard last night that they didn't hear any movement.
So he chased westward without giving up. After chasing for a hundred miles, he could not find any trace of Tripitaka's master and disciples, so he gave up.
They walked west, but of course they couldn't find Master Sanzang and his disciples, because at this time their masters and disciples had already arrived at Xuanying Cave in Qinglong Mountain.
It was obvious that along the way, Fahai had foreseen the troubles of staying in Jinping Mansion. He was not tired of these social interactions, but he definitely didn't like them. He would try to avoid them if he could.
Besides, the little demons in this mountain are here. If they don't get well, they can't leave without worry.
These little monsters are also ordinary monsters, such as mountain cow spirits, buffalo spirits, yellow cow spirits, etc., there is nothing magical about them. However, there are quite a lot of cow spirits in Xizhou, except for the green cow spirit with one horn. Your Majesty, there are a group of calf spirits gathered in Jindou Mountain. The elite among the bull spirits are actually under the command of the Bull Demon King of Ji Lei Mountain. Unfortunately, in the battle of Flame Mountain, the entire army was wiped out.
Lingshan.
The Buddha returned to the Main Hall, looked at the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva who had come for a rare visit, and asked: "Why did the Bodhisattva come to Lingshan today?"
"Amitabha." The Bodhisattva sat on the lotus platform, opposite the Buddha, holding a jade purification bottle in one hand and raising his other hand on his chest. He replied: "I originally wanted to reincarnate in the human world to endure tribulations, but I couldn't let go of those three thousand incarnations, so I gave up. "
"Bodhisattva is compassionate." Buddha has always believed that Lingshan's current prosperity is inseparable from the great mercy of Guanyin Bodhisattva. He just didn't expect that even Bodhisattva would want to be reincarnated as a human being and go through tribulations.
Although it was unexpected, Tathagata Buddha was not incomprehensible. After all, even he himself wanted to be reincarnated and experience calamity. But now, the great sage of the demon world who was supposed to be the opportunity for his reincarnation was scared by the Jade Emperor and did not dare to show his face.
In the past, the great sage of the demon world took the initiative to show up, but now the cracks in the demon world are blocked. These changes are too big.
Although the Bodhisattva is bound by the Lingshan Mountain, her great ambition actually means that she cannot act willfully in this matter.
Once she is reincarnated as a human being as a true spirit, all the three thousand Bodhisattva incarnations currently walking in the three realms will disappear.
And if you just reincarnate as an incarnation, there is no real effect of being a human being.
This is a multiple-choice question, choose yourself or all sentient beings.
The Bodhisattva didn't have any entanglements, so he chose the latter without any surprise.
But even for a Bodhisattva, after making such a choice, her state of mind will inevitably have some waves. She came to Lingshan. Firstly, she discussed the Tao with the Buddha and meditated. Secondly, Sanzang and his party were coming to Lingshan, so she had to come no matter what. Be a witness.
The relationship between the Bodhisattva and Tripitaka’s master and disciple is always extraordinary.
In the past, when their master and disciple encountered any difficulties, the monkey head would always somersault over his head, asking for help, but it seemed that since Erlang Zhenjun took over as the God of Justice, less and less people came to him.
The last time we met was outside the country of Annihilation.
But unlike in the past, this time it was the Bodhisattva who was specially waiting for their master and disciple to arrive.
"Master Sanzang and his disciples have already passed through Jinping Mansion and are now training those calf spirits in Xuanying Cave." Tathagata Buddha did not hesitate to communicate with the Bodhisattva about the current situation of Master Sanzang and his disciples, and took the initiative to say: "Such a scene, Did the Bodhisattva ever think about it when he went to the Tang Dynasty to enlighten him?"
"Never." The Bodhisattva sighed: "After he rescued Wukong from the foot of Wuzhi Mountain, what happened next was beyond the poor monk's expectation. Otherwise, the golden hoop borrowed by the poor monk from fellow Taoist Ma Sui , and it’s not like I haven’t sent it out yet.”
"Even when he burned my Guanyin Temple on fire, designed a group of demons in the Batu Caves, and liberated all the demon kings, the poor monk wanted to put that tight band on his head."
At this moment, there were only two people in the Main Hall, the Buddha and the Bodhisattva, and they spoke more casually.
The Buddha on the side also said: "Actually, when Lingji Bodhisattva came to complain, I was also very surprised."
"Amitabha." The Bodhisattva sighed and said the Buddha's name. Of course she knew about Lingji Bodhisattva. If Lingji Bodhisattva had not taken action at that time, it is not certain what the situation would be like now.
Let alone Lingji Bodhisattva, so what if it is the Bodhisattva himself?
When he was at Gao Laozhuang, if he had to protect the canopy, would the barbarian monk have given up?
Of course it wouldn't happen. At that time, the master and the apprentice were even ready to fight against Heaven again.
