Gods and Buddhas all over the sky will descend to earth for various reasons, either to save all sentient beings or to endure tribulations.
Just like the Seven Princesses from heaven secretly descended to earth and were reincarnated, there is also a restless Arhat who subdued the dragon in Buddhism and disappeared for five hundred years.
Manjushri Bodhisattva sent several Arhats down to earth one after another to search for him, but he did not want to lose news of them.
The gatekeeper Arhat and the tota Arhat who were rescued by Zhang Xiu came down from Lingshan to look for the Dragon Subduing Arhat.
As for the old monk in the temple, he is called a beggar.
He has been practicing in the human world for many years and has awakened the memory of his past life. After synthesizing the information obtained, he feels that Zhang Xiu is the Dragon-Subduing Arhat he is looking for.
Arhat Subduing the Dragon is humorous by nature, Zhang Xiu is also witty by nature, Arhat Subduing the Dragon likes to eat meat, Zhang Xiu also likes eating meat, Arhat Subduing the Dragon likes to extort money, rob homes and homes... Well, this seems to be true!
The mendicant Arhat was explaining to Yan Feng the reasons why he pulled Zhang Xiu into the mural. Suddenly he paused and muttered: "When Jiang Long came to the world, did he contract other bad habits..."
Listening to his explanation, Yan Feng was filled with flaws in his heart and couldn't help but complain: "If Zhang Xiu is really the reincarnation of the Arhat Who Subdued the Dragon, I advise you to return to secular life as soon as possible and go down the mountain. With him in Lingshan, sooner or later this Buddhism will over."
The beggar arhat glanced at the mural, frowned slightly, and said, "Master Zhang, there are indeed many things that are not like the dragon-subduing arhat. Let's wait and see what the Bodhisattva says..."
"I may recognize the wrong person, but Bodhisattva always recognizes the right person."
Among the murals, Zhang Xiu came to a place shrouded in fairy mist.
There are many palaces and pavilions here, and the golden pond is covered with lotus flowers.
There was an old monk sitting on a high platform preaching Buddhism, surrounded by many monks listening to the lecture, with expressions of intoxication.
Zhang Xiu listened with his ears pricked up, looked at the old monk on the podium, and showed a pleased expression: "Boys can be taught."
The old monk's eyes twitched imperceptibly, and he felt a little dumbfounded, but he did not get angry and continued to talk about the scriptures.
At this time, Zhang Xiu felt someone tug on his clothes twice. When he looked back, he saw that it was the girl with the hanging hair in the mural, who was approaching him with a smile.
"Sir, can you understand the Dharma taught by the holy monk?"
Zhang Xiu smiled calmly: "Putting aside Buddhism, I will write every word he says!"
The girl's smile suddenly froze on her face: "..."
You just didn’t understand a word, so why are you so proud?
The girl sighed silently and said, "I don't understand either. Why don't I take you to play."
Zhang Xiu looked at her for a while and asked, "What is your name and how come you are here?"
The girl shook her head: "I don't know, it seems like I have been here since I was born."
Zhang Xiu snorted, and then asked: "Besides you and this group of monks, is there anyone else here?"
The girl nodded: "In addition to me and a few sisters, there is also an armored general here."
Zhang Xiu smiled, rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the golden lotus pond: "There are so many people, then I will catch a few more carps and make a whole fish feast for you."
The girl looked at Zhang Xiu's back, her face turned pale with fear.
She is the carp in the pond that became a spirit. When she heard that Zhang Xiu was going to make a fish feast, she was immediately frightened. She felt that this mortal in the lower world was so scary!
After coming back to his senses, he turned around and ran away without saying a word!
Zhang Xiu had already taken off his clothes and went to the pond. He swam around in the pond and didn't even see the shadow of a fish. He couldn't help but wonder: "That shouldn't be the case. I remember that there should be fish in the pond in the temple." Yes, could it be that the fish in this pond..."
On the high platform, Manjusri Bodhisattva, who transformed into an old monk, stopped preaching and looked at Zhang Xiu with a smile.
If Zhang Xiuzhen was the Arhat who subdued the dragon, he would definitely remember that this was the place where he enlightened him and why there were no fish in the pond.
Then, Zhang Xiu continued to say: "Did the old monk secretly eat all the fish in this pond?"
Manjushri Bodhisattva: "..."
Zhang Xiu turned around and met the messy eyes of Manjushri Bodhisattva. He showed a kind smile and said, "I don't see that Master is also a temperamental person. Wait while I pick a few lotus pods and treat you to a drink!"
Manjushri Bodhisattva forced a smile and said, "I don't drink alcohol."
Zhang Xiu said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, you can watch me drink, as long as I get some food and wine."
Manjushri Bodhisattva: "...??"
Then why don’t I invite you?
Manjusri Bodhisattva looked at Zhang Xiu's sincere face, sighed helplessly, walked down the high platform, and led Zhang Xiu through the twists and turns of the fence to a living room.
Asking Zhang Xiu to wait here, he walked out the door and gave some instructions. Not long after, two girls came in carrying several plates of fruits and vegetables and placed them on Zhang Xiu's table.
Zhang Xiu stared at these out-of-season fruits and vegetables, picked a grape and tasted it, and then looked at Manjushri Bodhisattva in astonishment.
Seeing Zhang Xiu's surprised expression, Manjushri Bodhisattva smiled slightly: "How about my method?"
Zhang Xiu praised: "It's amazing, I'll tell you the truth, old abbot, I could tell at just one glance that you are no longer human!"
Manjushri Bodhisattva smiled and asked: "Oh? Then who do you think I am?"
Zhang Xiu smiled confidently: "If I'm not wrong, old abbot, you must be... you must be a greenhouse expert! If you didn't become a greenhouse expert, how could you grow so many fruits that violate the season!"
Manjushri Bodhisattva: "..."
He knows Dapeng, but what the hell is a greenhouse Dapeng!
Seeing himself being treated as a monster by Zhang Xiu, Manjushri Bodhisattva couldn't laugh or cry. He shook his head and said, "I am whatever you think I am..."
"Little donor, have you ever heard of the name Dragon Subduing Arhat?"
Zhang Xiu put down the banana in his hand in surprise and said, "I've heard of it, but he hasn't come to Hangzhou yet. Maybe he's not even born yet."
Manjushri Bodhisattva was startled, and seemed to have a reaction in his heart, and then he began to calculate silently.
After a moment, his expression turned to surprise.
What Zhang Xiu said...is actually true? !
The Dragon-Subduing Arhat will indeed be born in Hangzhou in the future!
He glanced at Zhang Xiu in confusion, and continued to calculate, only to find that Zhang Xiu's future was in chaos, and the cause and effect seemed to be obscured. However, it could be deduced that he was... the reincarnation of a good man from the tenth life?
Such a good foundation... I seem to have heard recently that there are several immortals from heaven and Taoism who have descended to earth to experience calamities, but there are not many who can even count them out.
Manjushri Bodhisattva suddenly remembered someone, looked at Zhang Xiu with a strange expression, and asked tentatively: "Are you... the seventh princess?"
Zhang Xiu smiled kindly: "No, I am your seventh uncle!"
Manjushri Bodhisattva was startled and realized that he might have had a misunderstanding. After all, no matter how mischievous the seventh princess was, she would not be reincarnated as a man, right?
Then, I felt that the little benefactor in front of me really didn't want to suffer at all. Just when he was about to laugh and scold Zhang Xiu, he suddenly heard a loud shout outside the door.
"You are so bold and a slut, you actually dare to entertain mortals from the lower world in my palace. Don't you want to live?"
While he was talking, a black-faced god general wearing iron armor strode in, holding a hammer and a fierce expression on his face.
However, after he waited for a while, the carp spirits did not come to him in fear like before to beg for mercy, and he couldn't help but frown.
Turning around, he saw a scholar and a monk looking at him without fear.
Two girls transformed into carp spirits stood beside them, not afraid at all, and looked at him with eyes filled with...
Full of sympathy? ?
