Chapter 25 Guanyin Convergence

When the immortal envoys left, the Buddha asked Ah Tai and Ka Ye to prepare some special products of the Pure Land of Bliss, and after instructing Guanyin Bodhisattva to do some things, he let Guanyin set off for the heavenly court to invite.

In order to facilitate the understanding of the customs and customs of the eastern soil, Guanyin Bodhisattva also brought Hui'an walkers who were born and raised in the eastern soil.

The common name of this Hui'an walker is "Li Muzha", and he is the second son of Li Jing, the king of the Heavenly Court Immortal General. Just because Li Jing had not yet achieved cultivation at that time, and was still a guard in the mortal world, Na's eldest son Jin Zha and second son Mu Zha went out to play once, got separated from the guards, and were besieged by monsters...... But at this time, Guanyin Bodhisattva unintentionally passed by here and rescued the two of them. Guanyin Bodhisattva saw that these two people were talented and intelligent, and his muscles and bones were excellent, and he had a heart of love, and after obtaining Li Jing's consent, he took the two children back to the Da Lei Yin Temple. Later, Jin Zha made a protector in front of the Buddha, and Mu Zha was returned as a disciple by Guanyin Bodhisattva. Jin Zha and Mu Zha practiced under the throne of the Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva, and have not returned to the East once until today. This time, when Muzha was told to go to the heavenly court with Guanyin Bodhisattva, he was very happy, probably because he could see his father.

On the way, Muzha asked Guanyin Bodhisattva: "Master, I heard that my father was summoned to heaven and was given an official position. ”

Guanyin Bodhisattva replied, "I have heard a little about this, so it is better to go to the territory of the Eastern Territory, and let us go to the mortal world to inquire about it, so that you don't know what to do when the time comes." "Guanyin Bodhisattva not only wanted to take Muzha to the mortal world to inquire about Li Jing's news, but also wanted to understand the customs and customs of Dongtu.

Mu Zha listened to it and agreed very much, after all, he also wanted to see what Dongtu had become.

The two of them circled around the mortal world for most of the time before continuing to rush to Heaven. When he arrived outside the Nantian Gate, Mu Zha took out the invitation letter and stepped forward to express his intention to the guards of the gate. Those heavenly soldiers went down to catch Sun Wukong because of the four heavenly kings who guarded the door, so they could only run to the queen mother's bedroom to convey the news. But I heard that the Queen Mother went to the Jade Emperor, and that day the soldiers took a few breaths and ran away from the Jade Emperor's bedroom, but they ran into the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother who happened to go to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall with everyone. That day, the soldiers could only endure the urge to curse, and ran to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall again......

When the Jade Emperor and a cadre of immortals were discussing how to deal with the lawless dead monkey king, suddenly the heavenly soldiers outside the door came in and said: "Report, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, the Guanyin Bodhisattva of Buddhism has arrived outside the Nantian Gate, how should I settle it?"

"This ......" The Queen Mother's face changed suddenly, she didn't expect Guanyin Bodhisattva to come at this time when there was chaos, not sooner or later, and she didn't know what to do. If you are not invited in, you will lose your courtesy, and you will be accused by others that you are arrogant and have no integrity...... It's a dilemma. She had no choice but to look at the Jade Emperor, hoping that the Jade Emperor would have a good idea.

But the Jade Emperor's face was also iron-blue, and he was in a dilemma, only Taishang Laojun on the side was drinking tea quietly. And those immortals, some of them were shocked when they heard that the Buddhist Guanyin Bodhisattva was coming, for fear that others would laugh at their incompetence; some sneered when they heard it; some were very quiet and were not affected at all; some proposed to arrange accommodation for Guanyin Bodhisattva first, and select a few people from among the gods and goddesses to take Guanyin Bodhisattva to enjoy the heavenly court, and after the demon monkey was arrested, it was not too late to summon Guanyin Bodhisattva; and some were ......

The Jade Emperor was already upset, and Guanyin was even more annoyed when he came, and now the people below were in a mess, which made him can't help but go crazy. He slapped the stunned wood and shouted, "Silence, silence, look at your actions, do you look like a real person who has attained the Dao?!!!" Only then did those immortals settle down.

The Jade Emperor said to the heavenly soldiers: "You give the order to go down and invite Guanyin to come to this hall." After receiving the order, the heavenly soldiers saluted and withdrew.

The Queen Mother said on the side: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is not very good, in case this matter spreads, I am afraid that our Heavenly Court will become the laughing stock of others." ”

"So what, if you don't let her in, it will be someone else's handle. The Jade Emperor gritted his teeth and said.

"Ahem...... "Taishang Laojun accidentally choked on tea and coughed. After the gas was smooth, he said to the Jade Emperor: "Your Majesty, I still have the elixir in the furnace, so I will go back to the palace first." ”

When the Jade Emperor heard this, he was very angry, and secretly scolded in his heart: "Dead old thing, refining a fart pill, do you still have the heart to refine the pill? If you are alchemy, and you still have the heart to drink tea here for a long time? I think you are planning to leave, and you want to put aside this matter and push these to me alone, and you will watch the play by yourself." In the end, whether it's good or bad, I'm the one who is pointed at behind the back. ”

But the Jade Emperor smiled and said to Taishang Laojun: "You can arrange for the disciples to go back to watch the fire, if you have to guard by yourself every time, then you won't even be able to get out of that door." ”

Taishang Laojun knew that the Jade Emperor wanted to pull him here, and by the way, he could have one more shield. He said: "Thank you Your Majesty for reminding me, but these disciples are not yet in the climate, and they are not yet at home to learn art, so I can't rest assured." I'd better go in person. ”

The Jade Emperor said again: "I heard that there are some strange flowers and plants in the Pure Land of Bliss that we don't have in the Eastern Land, Lao Jun, don't you want to know a thing or two?"

"This ......" Lao Dan was in trouble at this time. Although he doesn't like to get involved in these things between the Church, he is still quite attracted to things like exotic flowers and plants. Taishang Laojun stroked his beard and said, "Okay, my old man will sit here for a while." ”

After hearing this, the Jade Emperor's anger surged upward, feeling as if he was begging for the Taishang Laojun. He took a long breath and ordered, "Xuan Guanyin Bodhisattva to meet ...... No, please Guanyin Bodhisattva into the hall......" The Jade Emperor thought about it, but changed his words, after all, his regime is not very stable, and there are still some places where he has to borrow the hands of others, so it is not appropriate to be too alienated from Buddhism now......

Under the leadership of the heavenly soldiers and the master of ceremonies, Guanyin Bodhisattva led the Hui'an envoy into the Lingxiao Treasure Hall together.

Guanyin Bodhisattva stepped forward with his hands together, recited a Buddha name, and said: "Guanyin, a disciple of the Buddhist master of the Great Lei Yin Temple in the Western Pure Land of Bliss, has seen the Eastern Taoist Sect Master High Heavenly Sage Great Merciful Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Venerable Xuanqiong High God. ”

The Jade Emperor raised his hand and said, "No courtesy." Guanyin Taoist friends have come from afar, do you need to take a break?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva responded: "Thank you for the kindness of the Jade Emperor. This time, the poor nun was invited by the Queen Mother to participate in the 'Pan Tao Victory Meeting', and you can afford it. Here are some of the specialties of my Western Pure Land of Bliss, and I hope that Heaven will accept it. In fact, these are superficial polite words, Guanyin Bodhisattva came this time to learn more about the customs and customs of the eastern land. And the Jade Emperor also knew that the Buddhist people didn't have any normal thoughts when they came, but it was not easy to say it to their faces, and they would have to cooperate with the other party when the time came.

When everyone in the hall heard the words "Pan Tao Shenghui", their faces were uncomfortable. However, Lao Dan was still brushing his beard on the side, thinking about something, and he didn't even react at all.

Guanyin Bodhisattva saw that everyone's faces suddenly became unnatural, and asked, "Amitabha, dare to ask you what's wrong, your face suddenly changed? Is it because the poor nun is a foreigner and was invited to participate in the 'Pan Tao Victory Meeting'?"

At this time, the queen mother, who had an ugly face, forced a smile and said, "There is nothing to do, Guanyin Bodhisattva should not talk nonsense." That's actually ...... Actually, it's ......" The Queen Mother looked at the Jade Emperor and asked the Jade Emperor with her eyes if he should say this ugly thing. Then, Guanyin Bodhisattva's gaze also fell on the Jade Emperor.

Hearing the appearance of the Queen Mother, Guanyin Bodhisattva knew that everyone was like this, and there must be some reasons why she was embarrassed to say it, and the relationship between this matter was a bit big. So Guanyin Bodhisattva said: "If it is inconvenient to say, it is that I am poor and have many mouths, and I hope you will not be surprised." ”

After listening to Guanyin's words, the Jade Emperor looked up and glanced at the people in the main hall, and saw that some people were bowing their heads and their faces were pale, some were looking straight ahead, some were glancing wildly, and some were playing with their fingers......

"Alas-" The Jade Emperor sighed and said, "It's not Guanyin Bodhisattva's mouth to blame for this, it's the problem of Heaven itself......"

Lu Chunyang, one of the Eight Immortals, saw the Jade Emperor like this, and knew that the Jade Emperor wanted to tell Sun Wukong about disturbing the "Pan Tao Victory Meeting", so he was so anxious that he didn't even report it, and went directly to the palace, and said to the Jade Emperor: "Your Majesty, this matter is ......."

Before Lu Chunyang could finish speaking, the Jade Emperor raised his hand to stop him. The Jade Emperor said, "Lu Aiqing, I know what you mean. But this matter is so big, everyone will know sooner or later, it is better to say it directly now, so as to deal with it as soon as possible. ”

"Your Majesty, forgive your foolishness. Lu Chunyang bent down and bowed his head and said.

"It's not your fault, get in the ranks. The Jade Emperor waved his hand and motioned for Lu Chunyang to join the ranks.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Lu Chunyang saluted again, and then retreated among the gods.

Then the Jade Emperor told Guanyin Bodhisattva the beginning and end of this matter from the beginning, all the way from Sun Wukong going to the Dragon Palace to snatch the Dinghaishen Needle Iron to Li Jing, the king of Tota, to arrest Sun Wukong for the second time......

After Guanyin Bodhisattva heard this, he also felt that this matter was a little difficult to handle. And he also knows about the ugly things in Heavenly Court, and it seems unlikely that he wants to be an outsider. Otherwise, if you are not careful, maybe the two religions will become mortal enemies.

At this time, Taishang Laojun spoke, he shook off the dust and said: "Old decay Taishang Laojun, may I ask Guanyin Bodhisattva if there is any way to catch that demon monkey?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva frowned when he heard Taishang Laojun ask, and thought: "This Taishang Laojun's question is too direct, and it doesn't seem good for an outsider to say too much here." Is there no one in Heaven who is capable? Or is there some other purpose?"

The Jade Emperor saw that Guanyin Bodhisattva seemed to have something to say and stopped, and the Jade Emperor knew what she was worried about. The Jade Emperor said: "Guanyin Bodhisattva does not have to be restrained, what can be said directly." ”

"The poor nun thanked Your Majesty first. There are many generals in the Heavenly Court, and someone must be able to catch that demon monkey. Guanyin asked.

When the Jade Emperor heard this, he sighed in his heart and said: "My Heavenly Court is indeed a large number of soldiers, but at the same time, the land in my eastern territory is vast, so most of the soldiers have gone to guard the Quartet, and the immortals in the Heavenly Palace are counted. ”

"This ......" Guanyin Bodhisattva was also troubled when he heard this, and thought to himself, "Isn't this his own death? ”

At this time, Hui'an Xing, who was standing behind Guanyin Bodhisattva, was a little stunned, after all, his father led the troops below to capture the demon monkey, and he couldn't hold it for a long time. But he also knew that his identity was too much to say here, so he could only be in a hurry.

Guanyin Bodhisattva sensed the strangeness of the Hui'an Walker, guessed a little bit of his thoughts, and said to the Jade Emperor: "Your Majesty, my disciple can go to help." ”

When the Jade Emperor heard this, he frowned and said, "Bodhisattva, this ...... Not so good. You are guests from afar, how can you be embarrassed to ask you to help?" The Jade Emperor didn't want them to dare to do this, in case there were any deaths or injuries, the old guy would have an excuse.

Guanyin Bodhisattva said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, he was originally a person from the Eastern Land, but after worshipping my Buddhism, he went to the Western Pure Land of Bliss. ”

"Oh, and this matter, may I ask what the name of the practitioner is, his name before he became a monk, and where does he live?" the Jade Emperor hurriedly asked.

Hui'an Xing took a step forward and replied with his hand: "The disciple's name is 'Hui'an', his family name is 'Li', and his name is 'Muzha', and he is the second son of Li Tianwang, the immortal general in His Majesty's Palace. Li Muzha See Your Majesty. ”

As soon as Hui'an Walker's words came out, the whole hall was shocked, and they all looked at Hui'an Walker. Some immortals glanced at Hui'an Walker and secretly glanced at the Jade Emperor's face; some pretended to look at the jade in their hands; some secretly looked at the expressions of the people around them; some people continued to return to their calm and relaxed appearance just now after taking a look at Hui'an Walker......

The Jade Emperor was also taken aback when he heard this. Although he had already known that Li Jing, the Heavenly King of Tota, had two sons who went to the Western Pure Land of Bliss before he achieved cultivation, he couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw him. At the same time, the Jade Emperor also frowned even tighter, thinking, "What does this Western Pure Land of Bliss mean, and what does it mean to send my son over at this time? Could it be Li Jing's meaning? What is Li Jing thinking in his heart?"

But the Jade Emperor was surprised, but his face was very happy, and he said: "No wonder you look so extraordinary, you are really a 'tiger father without a dog'." ”

Guanyin Bodhisattva saw that Hui'an Xing was in a hurry, so he said on behalf of Li Muzha: "Your Majesty, now that my apprentice has helped, it should be reasonable." ”

"Of course. 'Fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers'. Since he is the son of Li Tianwang, it is naturally no problem. Then the Jade Emperor asked, "May I ask what weapons and armor do you need?"

Hui'an Walker arched his hand and said, "The disciple only needs this iron rod in his hand to subdue demons and eliminate demons. ”

Guanyin Bodhisattva also continued: "Although my disciple's ability is not great, he has some ability to subdue demons and eliminate demons. ”

After hearing this, the Jade Emperor was skeptical, but he said: "Then you will have to go on a trip." ”

"Order, the disciple will go and arrest the demon monkey. After speaking, he bowed to the Jade Emperor and then to Guanyin Bodhisattva before retreating to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. Then he hurriedly went to Nantianmen, drove the auspicious clouds, and went straight to Huaguo Mountain......
