Weituo Bodhisattva heard the loud voice asking, but he just looked at him slowly for a while, pondered for a moment, and then explained: "The magic weapon in the poor monk's hand is the magic pestle."
Bajie took advantage of the situation and asked: "What's the difference between the two? I thought they were the same weapons, and" Bajie pointed at Skanda Bodhisattva's Demon-Conquering Pestle and Vajrapani Bodhisattva's Vajra Pestle, "their appearance is also very similar." resemblance."
Wei Tuo Bodhisattva then explained: "In fact, it is not a weapon. The vajra pestle in the hand of Vajrapani Bodhisattva is a Buddhist weapon. The poor monk's demon-conquering pestle was originally a spiritual treasure of Taoism. Now it has been infected by Buddhism. Therefore, It can be regarded as half a Buddhist magical weapon. My magical weapon originally did not look like this. This must be why the two of you misidentified me."
"I see, I have learned the lesson." Although the great sage recognized the wrong magic weapon, he was very calm at the moment and even bowed to Skanda Bodhisattva to thank him.
In the past, I only studied Buddhist scriptures from my master. Regarding the Buddhist instruments, it was indeed the weakness of the great sage. He was not completely ignorant of it. Indeed, as Veda Bodhisattva said, he was careless for a moment and failed to distinguish.
After all, he uses a golden cudgel to defeat all dharma with one force. The master has a nine-ring tin staff in one hand, which is as powerful as a mountain; and the Buddha's flame in the other hand shows the Buddha's majesty. He never cares what other people use or what magical powers they use.
This incident also reminded the Great Sage that his own practice was far from enough. He still had a lot to learn. Just because you followed the master up to Lingshan Mountain and took the scriptures back to the Tang Dynasty, you can't just relax.
After all, although the Wutian Demon Ancestor by the Tongtian River was repulsed by his master, it was obvious that he would definitely make a comeback.
The Great Sage is also eager to learn now, which is different from when he was bent on seeking immortality. Ever since he practiced with the Immortal Zhenyuan in Wuzhuang Temple for a period of time, he has learned the importance of foundation. He even sometimes complained about the days when he practiced with Patriarch Bodhi in the Xieyue Sanxing Cave in Lingtai Fangcun Mountain hundreds of years ago.
Silly, so stupid!
If you don’t learn this, you don’t learn that. Although you can achieve immortality, after meeting the Master and listening to the scriptures, you realize that if you can’t establish your mind and life, what will happen if you live forever?
He is just a stone monkey who is ignorant and has the ability to fight bravely.
As for the majesty of the Monkey King, the Monkey King secretly made a promise in his heart that one day, I, Old Sun, will truly be worthy of this title.
Therefore, if we could go back in time and give the Great Sage another chance to choose again, the Great Sage would like to say: I will learn everything!
Not just what the Patriarch said before, but anyone who knows what the Patriarch knows will not refuse, I want them all!
Master often says that knowing is knowing and not knowing is knowing.
Moreover, even Master has many unknown things, and he is always not ashamed to ask questions along the way. He asks for advice attentively, and these disciples are naturally deeply influenced by Master, and they always maintain a humble attitude when asking for advice.
This is one of the reasons why their reviews along the way are sometimes diametrically opposed.
In this regard, the Bodhisattva who happened to see this scene said in his heart: Don't look at the humility and eagerness of this hozen at this moment. After all, the arrogance of their master and disciple really has no limit.
Bodhisattva is naturally deeply aware of this. After all, she was present several times that year, and not only did she not stop him, but she was also dragged into the water together.
The Bodhisattva sometimes wonders, is it because he failed to stop Tripitaka in time that things got out of hand in the future?
So that the journey to the West, which he had basically arranged, turned into what it is now?
Of course, it cannot be said that the current situation is not good. In fact, Bodhisattva prefers the current development of things.
If everything is really done according to the established "calculation", it doesn't seem to be very interesting.
It is precisely this that allows Bodhisattvas to understand. Tripitaka’s masters and disciples are like this, and these gods and Buddhas are like this. What about the sentient beings in the three realms?
Those who claim to be good for the sentient beings in the three realms actually do things like slavery. They seem to make sentient beings disease-free and disaster-free, but they are basically being raised like livestock.
Even the creatures in some Buddhist countries can almost be said to have completely lost their identity. Is this behavior really correct?
It’s really hard to say this. After all, everyone has their own ambitions. Some people are born to fight against fate, while most people just follow the trend. If immortals and Buddhas can arrange their lives, they will still be free from illness, disaster, and worry. The kind that worries about it, so why not do it?
This is also an important reason why even the Bodhisattva himself wants to truly go to the human world.
Happiness in the world is mostly similar.
But suffering has its own flavor, and it varies from individual to individual, and has its own different state of mind.
Even a Bodhisattva cannot guarantee that he will empathize with all sufferings. Therefore, this great wish to save all sentient beings is an endless journey.
boom!
The collision between the vajra and the nine-ringed tin staff made the Bodhisattva, whose mind was a little distracted, come back to his senses.
In this confrontation, although there was a lot of movement when the two Buddha treasures collided, it seemed that they were evenly matched at the moment.
After this blow, the two sides retreated to both sides, just staring at each other with their eyes. Neither seemed to have the intention of taking the lead to strike again. It was likely that they were accumulating strength or calculating the opponent's strength.
After all, this is just a fight between the same sects, not a life and death fight. Naturally, it is not so tense. Both sides are very martial arts at the moment.
Skanda Bodhisattva on the side also took the opportunity to explain to the Great Sage and others: "In Buddhism, there are many monks and Bodhisattvas who use vajra as a magical weapon. And this vajra of Vajrapani Bodhisattva, even if it is not ranked first One, also among the top three.”
Just after Veda Bodhisattva finished speaking, a Bodhisattva whom the Great Sage did not know spoke up and said: "It is said that the power of Vajrapani Bodhisattva is the sum of all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. And this Vajra is as heavy as Mount Sumeru." .”
This Bodhisattva's words were obviously recognized by many Bodhisattvas present.
Not to mention among the Buddhas for now, but only among the Bodhisattvas, Vajrapani Bodhisattva says that he is the most powerful, but people seem to be dissatisfied.
But now, such a person who is known as the leader of power among Bodhisattvas cannot get any advantage in the confrontation with Tripitaka's pure power.
But regarding this point, all the monks present selectively ignored the past. Or perhaps it was because Sanzang was very powerful, which was a very normal thing in their minds, and it was not enough to surprise them.
After all, King Silver Horn is still suppressing him under Pingding Mountain.
The unknown Bodhisattva continued: "Even if Master Tripitaka has powerful magic power, I am afraid it will be difficult to shake the Vajrapani Bodhisattva holding the vajra pestle. Except for the fact that this one in the hand of Vajrapani Bodhisattva once smashed the iron wall mountain in one fell swoop and blasted the rocks into pieces. In addition to the ruthless Vajra, he has also developed a tyrannical magical power!"
"Oh?" The Great Sage became curious and couldn't help asking: "What is it?"
"You don't know." The Bodhisattva said with a smile: "Vajrapani Bodhisattva practices Tantric Dharma. He is blessed by the Buddhas of the ten directions and the three times, and has cultivated a solid and indestructible Vajra body. From the monk’s point of view, neither of them could do anything to each other in this fight, and it ended in a draw.”
Before a few disciples of the Great Sage could retort, they boosted the morale of their master.
Skanda Bodhisattva on the side spoke first and said: "What Bodhisattva Removes Obstacles says is true."
The Great Sage also took the opportunity to write down the name of this Bodhisattva, thinking that he had only heard it mentioned by the Master in the past, but now he had met his face.
But Veda Bodhisattva on the side changed the topic and said: "The poor monk's view is somewhat different."
"What is the difference?"
"The poor monk seemed to see that Master Tripitaka was still able to do it with ease, and it seemed that he had not yet taken action with all his strength, but Vajrapani Bodhisattva was holding the arm of the vajra." All the nearby Bodhisattvas gathered their attention.
hiss--
If you don't look carefully, you really can't find it.
Vajrapani's arms were trembling slightly.
As for Master Sanzang, he was like a man who had nothing to do. The nine-ringed tin staff had been raised high again. This movement was like a roaring wave in the vast sea.
Fahai did not plan to use other magical powers, and made up his mind to use his strength to convince the Vajrapani Bodhisattva.
Vajrapani Bodhisattva has no idea that Master Tripitaka will always show some "power of the sea" because the "sea" seems to have nothing to do with Master Tripitaka.
In the first fight, he was on the offensive, while Master Tripitaka was on the defensive. The Vajra, which originally represented invincibility and indestructibility, when it touched Master Tripitaka's nine-ring tin staff, it didn't look like two "hard weapons" colliding. .Instead, it was as if he had punched the water with his fist.
It seemed that there was a lot of commotion, but in fact it was just a slight stir of waves. The supreme power that could crush Tiewei Mountain was actually swallowed up by the "sea" invisibly.
Then, Vajrapani Bodhisattva felt that not only his own power was about to be swallowed by the sea, but also the Vajra in his hand seemed to be sinking deep into a whirlpool, being coerced by the seemingly feminine but overbearing force of birth. If you are weak, you forcefully pull away. At this moment, the vajra is probably going to fly away.
It seems to be just a simple collision of magic weapons, but compared to the simple fierce power of Vajrapani Bodhisattva, Fahai will use the law to control the power.
Bang!
Offense and defense changed shape, it was Fahai who made the first move.
Compared to the defensive form of Tao Jin before, this time Fahai used Duo Jin.
Boom boom boom boom——
With just a touch, Vajrapani Bodhisattva felt the power from Master Tripitaka, one after another, like the waves of a big ocean, continuous.
What’s even more frightening is that one wave is stronger than the other.
Click——
A sound!
This immediately caused the monks in the hall to search for the source of the sound.
First of all, it can be confirmed that it is not the vajra of Vajrapani Bodhisattva;
Secondly, it is not Master Tripitaka’s nine-ring tin staff;
Finally, the monks discovered that there were several cracks in the masonry of the Mahavira Hall at the feet of Vajrapani Bodhisattva, and the cracks continued to increase and lengthen.
As for Vajrapani Bodhisattva, his whole body was enveloped in golden light at some point. There were all Buddhist monks present, so it was not difficult to see that he had activated the Buddhist magical power of "Vajra is indestructible".
Some Arhats who couldn't see the situation clearly were a little surprised: "It's just a collision between the Zen staff and the vajra. Why do you need to use 'Vajra is indestructible'?"
Skanda Bodhisattva had excellent eyesight and immediately said: "The vajra can withstand Master Tripitaka's strength, but Vajrapani Bodhisattva himself must not be able to support it if he does not use his magical power at this moment."
At this moment, when the monks thought that Master Tripitaka would end the battle in this way, they saw Master Tripitaka put away the nine-ring tin staff.
Sanzang's behavior made the monks feel very surprised, but they soon understood
Bang!
This sound was deafening, resounding in the Main Hall, and continued to echo.
This time, Sanzang did not display any of his power skills, but also displayed his fierce power.
Bang!
After two loud noises.
The faces of the Arhats in the front row who were a little closer had begun to look pale.
When the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas saw it, they all exclaimed: "The power of the Tripitaka is unparalleled in the Lingshan Mountain!"
Bang bang bang!
The monks can clearly feel that the Vajrapani Bodhisattva who has cast the Vajra Indestructible is like a nail; the nine-ring tin staff in Master Tripitaka's hand is like a hammer. With one hammer, the Vajrapani Bodhisattva is nailed into the Under the masonry of the Main Hall.
"Admit defeat!"
After half of his body was buried in the ground, Vajrapani finally stopped resisting and admitted defeat.
Vajrapani Bodhisattva was convinced of this result.
After this last round of confrontation, Vajrapani Bodhisattva knew that Tripitaka's power was far superior to his own. The opponent could have overturned him in the first round, but Master Tripitaka did not choose to do so.
In this regard, Vajrapani Bodhisattva does not think that Master Tripitaka is playing tricks on him, but that he is showing his understanding of "power".
And this also reminded me that strength is not just about being strong.
Vajrapani Bodhisattva is naturally not single-minded. Based on the skills of using "power", he is naturally knowledgeable. But after "enjoying" the mystery of breaking all laws with one force, he naturally slacked off in terms of skills. But in other words, he was making rapid progress on the fierce path.
After Master Tripitaka attacked several times, Vajrapani Bodhisattva originally wanted to imitate the gourd, but at the same time he learned from it——
But he discovered that Sanzang's real power was greater than his own, so when faced with such power, all his skills were useless.
This kind of scene was more or less beyond the expectations of the monks present. After all, most of the monks still felt that the two of them had similar magical powers, and there was a high probability that they would end in a draw.
It was obviously a miscalculation at the moment, but I can only say one thing: He is indeed Tang Sanzang.
The Great Sun Tathagata has long heard that there is a Vajrapani Bodhisattva who practices Vajra Tantra in Lingshan. However, he used to act as a bodyguard beside the Buddha, and the Great Sun Tathagata had no chance to contact him.
It was different now. Master Sanzang had just removed the nine-ringed tin staff.
The Great Sun Tathagata couldn't help but stand up, wanting to formally recruit this Vajrapani Bodhisattva into Tantric Buddhism.
The always fast Great Sun Tathagata was still a little slow. However, another Bodhisattva appeared directly next to Vajrapani Bodhisattva, and he lifted out the half-buried Vajrapani Bodhisattva.
Then he made a Buddha salute to Sanzang and said: "I ask for advice, poor monk."
