Zhang Chi is not familiar with Manjushri Bodhisattva, but he is definitely not unfamiliar.
In fact, in China, Manjusri Bodhisattva is the most famous Bodhisattva after Guanyin Bodhisattva. The place where he practices is Mount Wutai, which occupies one of the four famous Buddhist mountains in the world. He is well-deserved for this popularity.
Manjushri Bodhisattva led Zhang Chi around the Shuxiang Temple.
This temple does not occupy a large area, and there is nothing too unconventional about it. It cannot be compared with Wolong Temple, the glazed pure land of Medicine Buddha, but it is still clean.
Manjushri Bodhisattva led Zhang Chi through the entire temple. The monks inside greeted the two of them one after another, but they did not make a fuss and just went about their own business.
"Bodhisattva, do they know you are you?" Zhang Chi asked in a low voice.
"Of course I don't know, otherwise they wouldn't be crazy?" Manjushri laughed.
"Then how did you stay anonymous here?" Zhang Chi asked again.
"Every generation of host here was brought back from outside by me personally. It is not difficult for children with Buddhist connections to live here." Manjushri Bodhisattva said.
"Then no one realizes that you won't grow old after such a long time?" Zhang Chi asked.
"Of course, that's why they are so respectful to us." Manjushri Bodhisattva said.
Zhang Chi thought to himself, how could such a thing be hidden in modern society? In all likelihood, it has been spread by the self-media for a long time. That is to say, monks in this era are relatively simple, and the efficiency of information dissemination is not very high, so Manjushri Bodhisattva can really rest here peacefully. .
The two of them came to a remote Zen room at the back of Shuxiang Temple. This should be the place where Manjushri Bodhisattva usually lives.
"Oh my god, where did the little lion go?!" Manjushri Bodhisattva said in shock.
"Huh?" Zhang Chi was a little confused.
"Little lion!" Manjusri Bodhisattva emphasized.
"You have a lion?" Zhang Chi asked.
"You don't know?" Manjushri Bodhisattva asked.
"I don't know." He spread his hands innocently and said.
At the same time, he was also slandering in his heart, there is a lion in this temple, how on earth can those monks not go out to report to the official?
"My mount is the green lion." Manjushri said.
"..." Zhang Chi glanced at Manjusri Bodhisattva speechlessly, wondering why this great Bodhisattva was not as reliable as the Medicine Buddha said.
"Do you, the lion, eat humans?" he asked.
"I definitely won't eat it." Manjushri Bodhisattva subconsciously replied, but then he was stunned and added in a low voice, "Anyway, he won't eat it when he's around me."
"Okay!" Zhang Chi was furious, "Isn't it okay to leave you together?!"
"Having listened to the Dharma by my side for such a long time, you shouldn't be able to eat people..." Manjushri Bodhisattva said uncertainly.
"Then you should keep an eye on him." Zhang Chi said.
"Didn't I suddenly realize something? I was meditating in the meditation room for a while. Who would have thought that he would run away." Manjushri Bodhisattva explained.
"How long will your visit last?" Zhang Chi glanced at him sideways.
"Well..." Manjushri Bodhisattva was a little vague and held out three fingers.
"Three hours?" Zhang Chi asked.
Manjushri lowered his head, like a child who made a mistake.
"Three days?" Zhang Chi asked again.
The Bodhisattva blushed a little, but still did not take back his hand.
"Three months?" Zhang Chi spoke louder.
The Bodhisattva chuckled, a little embarrassed: "Three years."
"What! Three years!" Zhang Chi asked blankly, and then he became angry, "If you leave me alone, I will run away. You are not paying attention. You are not paying attention at all. If I am hungry, I will starve to death. It’s boring and boring to death!”
Half of the words were said, but Zhang Chi's mind suddenly suddenly changed.
"Bodhisattva, you said three years. Could it be that three years have passed since you last saw us?!" Zhang Chi asked.
Manjushri Bodhisattva raised his eyes to look at the sky, silently calculating in his heart.
"It's not just anymore, it's been almost four years." Manjushri Bodhisattva said.
Sure enough, time flies.
Zhang Chi sighed in his heart, but his desire to compete with Manjushri Bodhisattva was relieved.
"Bodhisattva, what do you think we should do?" Zhang Chi asked, "Why don't you go look for it?"
"The world is so vast, where should I go to find it?" said Manjushri Bodhisattva.
"Don't you know how to do math? Why don't you do the math?" Zhang Chi suggested.
"This little beast never follows a routine. I can't figure it out," Manjusri said.
Zhang Chi approached the other party, stretched out his hand and tugged on the other party's sleeves, looking left and right.
"What are you doing?" Manjushri Bodhisattva asked.
"Are you a Bodhisattva? You can't be a fake, right?" Zhang Chi said.
"Don't make trouble." Manjushri Bodhisattva swatted away Zhang Chi's hand, "From now on, you will live here and continue to practice Buddhism."
"Oh, okay." Zhang Chi nodded.
"If you go to Lingshan to listen to the Buddha's teachings, you can go with me." Manjushri Bodhisattva continued.
"Well, no problem." Zhang Chi nodded.
"You don't understand what I mean." Manjushri said.
"Ah? What do you mean?" Zhang Chi asked confused.
"What I mean is that when you arrive at Lingshan in the future, you are not allowed to tell others about the lost lion." Manjushri Bodhisattva's expression finally fell.
Zhang Chi rolled his eyes.
"Then you're not looking for it?" he asked.
"Ahem, you still have to look for it." Manjushri Bodhisattva said, "But you need ways and means."
Zhang Chixin said that if I believed you, I would be an eggplant.
"Okay, let's adapt to the environment first." Manjushri Bodhisattva said.
Zhang Chi slandered the supreme wisdom of Buddhism in his heart, and silently walked into the meditation room prepared for him by Manjushri Bodhisattva.
Manjushri Bodhisattva looked at the relaxed back and smiled.
This young man is interesting. He can resist asking about the current situation of his friends. It seems that he still has a high degree of trust in Buddhism as a whole. I don’t know how the Medicine Buddha led him to continue practicing.
As soon as his smile bloomed, the relaxed Zen room was opened again.
His smile instantly solidified on his face.
"Oh my god! Bodhisattva, I forgot to ask you, how are my friends doing now? Do you know?" Zhang Chi asked with concern on his face.
Manjushri Bodhisattva's smile became a little forced.
This child's wisdom in their team seemed to be no less than that of his own in Buddhism.
…
Wang Jianguo had a good time in Ziwei Palace these past two days. If Sun Jie hadn't reminded him repeatedly to pay attention to his image, he would almost call this place his home.
In fact, the servants in Ziwei Palace were quite polite to the two of them. It seems that Emperor Ziwei had given instructions in advance to serve the two of them with delicious food and drinks, which was in sharp contrast to the day when they left in anger. Wang Jianguo's confidence came from unknown sources, and he firmly believed that Emperor Ziwei wanted to cause rebellion in heaven, and that everyone in the team was the vanguard selected by Emperor Ziwei. Emperor Ziwei must be seeking something from everyone in the team, so he would not hesitate to offend the Jade Emperor. His majesty saved the two of them.
According to what Lao Wangtou said, if Emperor Ziwei wanted to be detrimental to them, he could shut them out or even turn a blind eye to the golden mountain. Since he had taken action, he would naturally not take action against them again.
Sun Jie couldn't find anything wrong with this logic, but she always felt that in an emperor's palace, there were so many unscrupulous people, how could some villains succeed.
But Lao Wangtou, if Lin Zhuang was around, he would probably be obedient. When Qi Zhen was around, he wouldn't be able to stand out. Once someone else changes or he acts alone, he will most likely be unorganized and unorganized. The true nature of discipline is revealed.
Fortunately, everyone in the team has been together for such a long time and understands each other's personalities and temperaments very well. At least they can fully trust each other, so there will be no resentment that should have arisen.
This is actually quite rare.
"The emperor has summoned you two and is waiting in the main hall. I hope you two can come over quickly and don't keep the emperor waiting too long."
coming.
"You're not really right, are you?" Sun Jieke politely sent the palace attendant away and turned to ask Wang Jianguo.
"Just go and take a look and you will know. Nine times out of ten, it is." Wang Jianguo said.
The two tidied up their clothes and hurried to the main hall, where they saw the Emperor Ziwei on the dragon throne.
Emperor Ziwei is tall and tall, but his face looks extremely tired at this time. It seems that he has been very mentally exhausted these days, but he doesn't know what he is busy with.
The two of them paid homage to Emperor Ziwei.
"You two have been here for a while, how do you feel? Are you still used to everything?" Emperor Ziwei asked.
At this time, he has become much softer than before. It seems that he has finally stepped down from the altar and looks like an ordinary person.
"Just tell me if you need our help. At least it can be a life-saving favor for us. As a team, we never owe others any favors. As long as you ask, we can spare our lives." Wang Jianguo, on the other hand, had no interest in playing charades with the other party and directly said while patting his chest.
Sun Jie secretly slandered Lao Wangtou from the side, just make it up. How can you, a dead Taoist friend but not a poor Taoist, be so kind?
Emperor Ziwei naturally didn't know the psychological activities of the two, but when he saw Wang Jianguo's vow, he rarely showed a trace of relief on his face.
He seemed to be glad that he had seen the right person.
After a slight pause, he said, "There is indeed something I need your help with."
"Wait a moment." Wang Jianguo interrupted the other party and said, "There is no problem in helping. We don't care if we become tools for you to use, but you have to tell me, what exactly do you want to do?"
Emperor Ziwei was not angry because of Wang Jianguo's disrespect. Instead, he squinted his eyes as if thinking, and then spoke after a long time.
"Though those two words will never come out of my mouth, you have a good idea."
Sun Jie's pupils were shaking.
Emperor Ziwei really wants to rebel against Heaven!
"You are obviously a being below one person and above ten thousand people, and you enjoy endless longevity. What are you doing...?" Sun Jie couldn't help but ask.
"What are you trying to do? I just want the creatures in the three realms to live a better life." There was a hint of sigh in Emperor Ziwei's words.
