Chapter 33: The Buddha Kingdom of the Western Regions

This scene was unexpected, and he thought to himself, "This is terrible!" He hurriedly looked up at Garuda, only to see that this fist-sized stone, with a "bang", smashed on Garuda's head. However, the stone fell silently like a mosquito biting a wild animal.

Ablunka was shocked, he never expected that the monster in front of him would be so powerful.

Garuda shook his head, stunned for a moment, then looked down at the crowd and asked in a muffled voice, "Who hit me just now?"

The crowd was already panicked, and when they suddenly heard this monster in the form of a bird and a human figure speak, they felt even more incredible, and for a moment, they only thought about escaping.

Garuda breathed a sigh of relief and asked loudly, "Who hit Lao Tzu with a stone just now?" I saw the crowd below shaking their heads in horror, and no one admitted it. At this time, Ablunka's face turned pale with fright, and his whole body trembled. He stepped forward slightly, and was about to admit it, when he suddenly felt that his sleeve was tugged at, and he turned his head to see a solemn look at him, and shook his head at him slightly.

Seeing that Garuda was covered in feathers and had a rough breath in his chest, he was obviously angry, and hurriedly said: "Garuda, it is true that no one smashed you, it was a stone blown by the wind and sand just now." They're just scared by you. ”

Garuda took a sip and raised his voice and said, "Fart! Someone is hitting me with a stone! Little monk, don't favor them, they dare not know Lao Tzu! Dare to hit me with a stone? I will let them see clearly the divine power of Lao Tzu!"

Suddenly, he waved his wings and shouted, "I am a god of heaven, you ignorant and foolish people!" A hurricane suddenly blew on the ground, and many merchants and cattle fell, and Garuda let out a long roar, opened his mouth, and a thick flame gushed out.

A group of frightened shouts of "ah" all around, looking back in a panic, but seeing Hongying holding hands, with a posture of not caring about himself, smiling and watching the excitement on the side, said: "I want to see how you can benefit all sentient beings......

Liku shook his head, folded his hands, and said: "Click~"

A golden light flashed, and suddenly, a huge wall of golden light was erected in front of everyone, protecting the people. The fire fell on the wall of golden light, and instantly turned into a breath of fresh air.

Garuda glared at Liku fiercely, and said angrily, "Little monk, which end are you?"

Li sighed bitterly and said, "This ...... They are all good people...... Do not hurt the innocent, for they will do evil. ”

Garuda pounced on him and said, "Can a good man hit me with a stone? No one in these three realms dares to hit me with a stone!"

Liku shook his head and said, "Didn't Luo Hu also hit you with a stone?"

Garuda opened his mouth wide, stomped his feet on the ground, and said loudly: "Lao Tzu hates people to hit me with stones! Then I will also hit them back with stones! Repay and report, don't save them! Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind to you!"

Li Ku hurriedly said: "You...... Why do you bother, isn't it just a small stone, and it doesn't hurt or itch you......"

Hongying squinted at Liku, and said with a smile: "How can it not hurt or itch, stones will kill people, don't you almost let the stone kill you." ”

Shaking his head helplessly, the red tassel was obviously adding fuel to the fire. But he saw Garuda pecking at the ground violently, and in an instant the sand and gravel rolled, and he pecked out a boulder from the sand, and then spread his wings and flew up, shouting: "Little monk!

Seeing that he was emotional, he folded his hands and recited the mantra of purifying his heart, and Wen Yan persuaded: "Garuda, isn't there something wrong along the way?" When we cure Pan'er and catch the Rakshasa demon, I will keep my promise and take you to the heavens to remove the snake venom from your body. ”

Garuda snorted and said, "I'll have to smash them once!"

In a hurry, I saw that he was leaving the bitter and said: "Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground!"

Garuda was stunned, rolled his eyes, and asked, "So...... It's so easy to become a Buddha? I didn't have a butcher's knife......."

Li Ku frowned and said, "It's okay to put down the stone......"

Garuda hesitated, couldn't help but show joy on his face, his anger had already disappeared, and he said, "I want to become a Buddha." I put it down...... I put down ......"

As he spoke, he slowly fell from the sky, put the stone on the ground, folded his hands, and said in a posture of relieving suffering: "Amitabha." Then he turned his head to look at the suffering and said, "Have I become a Buddha?"

Hongying glanced at Liku, and said suspiciously: "You can become a Buddha so easily, so why do you have to practice so hard?"

Liku did not answer, and when he saw Garuda put down the stone, he breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and said hesitantly: "It's still ...... It takes a little bit of chance...... Soon...... Soon he ......" He then picked up the merchant who had fallen to the ground in terror, bowed his head, and said, "Sin and sin! Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, this Garuda is a kind of divine eagle born of heaven and earth, not a monster." ”

But when he saw that the merchant's face was sallow, he suddenly knelt on the ground with a "poof", prostrated himself and bowed, and shouted: "O monk, you are a bodhisattva!"

After being stunned for a moment, he reacted, and in a hurry just now, he actually exerted his magical power in front of everyone. He has practiced for many years, and his supernatural powers have never been exposed in front of people, but he is afraid of causing the world's worship and superstition, but alienates the true Buddha's teachings.

Liku hurriedly helped him up and said, "The little monk is not a bodhisattva, just a ...... Just an ordinary monk......"

"He's a bodhisattva! he's a bodhisattva!"

At this time, only cheers were heard all around, and everyone present kowtowed to the suffering.

The merchant kowtowed and said loudly, "Everyone, be quiet!

Then, there was silence.

Looking around with pain, anxiety and embarrassment, I saw these people holding their breath and concentrating, as if they had heard the divine teachings of the Apocalypse, waiting for the Bodhisattva in their eyes to descend on the Dharma.

Leaving the place in a circle, Chong Hongying whispered: "What should I do......"

Hongying stuck out her tongue, clasped her hands together with a grin, and said respectfully: "Please Great Bodhisattva preach the Dharma!"

It was even more difficult to ride a tiger away from suffering, and he said in a low voice: "You...... What kind of play are you singing......"

He hesitated for a moment, took a breath, and said, "This donor, please ask the donor to find a doctor to treat that girl." ”

Everyone was stunned, you look at me, I look at you, as if they are all trying to figure out the profound Zen mechanism of this great bodhisattva's words.

Suddenly, one of them said, "I see! The great bodhisattva means that let us heal, heal the sick and save people, and the merit is immeasurable." ”

Another person said, "The Great Bodhisattva is warning us that there will be a great plague in our country!"

Someone else said: "The Great Bodhisattva wants to bring nectar for us, exert great magical powers, and forever ensure that we will not get sick again and live a long life!"

For a while, the scene was full of gossip, talking about each other, talking a lot, the more outrageous it became, and the simple treatment of diseases and saving people became full of miracles.

With a sad face on his face, he thought, "How can such a simple thing as finding a doctor to treat people be misunderstood as living a long life? But why are people in the world so superstitious about the so-called supernatural powers? Don't they know that birth, old age, sickness, death, plagues, and disasters are just natural laws of cause and effect, and that all actions are impermanent, and all laws have no self, and how can there be immortal people in this world? Even the Buddha attained nirvana at the age of 80. ”

He hurriedly stepped forward and helped the people who were kneeling on the ground one by one, explaining to them that he was just an ordinary monk and not a bodhisattva.

Only the merchant and Ablunka understood the true intention of the renunciation, and they hurriedly picked up Pan'er and put her on horseback.

The merchant said: "Please rest assured, master, our Western Regions Kingdom will definitely devote the strength of the whole country to save this woman." ”

He bowed and said, "There are all the Bodhisattvas." ”

The merchant was instantly shocked and trembled, and knelt down again and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, Great Bodhisattva, please allow your disciples to enter the city first to report to our king and the people of the city, and welcome the Great Bodhisattva into the city!"

He was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, for fear that this move would disturb the local people, and when he looked up again, he saw that the merchant had already carried Pan'er and walked quickly towards the city.

Ablunka turned around and kowtowed again, and said, "Master, you ...... You saved me again!"

Liku frowned slightly, for fear that Garuda would hear what he said, so he made a "shhh......h

He turned to Red Silk and Garuda and said, "Let's follow them into the city." ”

Hongying chuckled and said, "The first time I thought it was quite good for you to be a monk, but I didn't expect you, a little monk, to be worshiped by so many people." Then he put his hands together again, bowed to Liku, and said, "Please ask the great bodhisattva to bless the little woman with supernatural powers." ”

Away from the bitterness, her face was flushed, and she knew that Hongying was making fun of him, and she was anxious and embarrassed. He was worshiped by everyone, but he didn't feel good in his heart, and he thought: "In those years, I was doing ascetic deeds in the world and preaching the Dharma to the world, but I was subjected to countless cold eyes and ridicule, and how many of them were able to truly accept the teachings of the Dharma? It turns out that what people in the world really believe in is only supernatural powers. The demons also have powerful supernatural powers, and if the people of the world do not have correct knowledge and correct views, they will not fall into the path of demons. ”

Seeing that he looked in a trance, Hongying smiled and said, "Aren't you trying to save your little lover?

Liquan came back to his senses and nodded, now finding a doctor to treat Pan'er is the top priority, and without saying anything else, he slowly walked into the city with the caravan.

Seeing his stunned appearance, Hongying couldn't help but feel funny, seeing that Lizhu was worshiped by so many people, her heart was happy, like a bewitching little woman in the world, she followed with small steps, and said, "Great Bodhisattva, you wait for the little woman." ”

Li Zhu turned his head and saw Garuda still standing there, his hands folded together, and his mouth was full of words: "I am going to become a Buddha!

Hongying said: "He seems to have fallen into a demon...... Can you really put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot?"

Liku shook his head and said: "I have practiced for so many years, meditating, doing asceticism, accumulating merits, and doing good karma, but I have not yet fully realized. At that time, the matter was urgent, and I was afraid that he would hurt the innocent, so I said that just to stabilize his emotions. ”

Hongying laughed out loud, looked at Garuda's fluttering appearance, and said, "You little monk is bad enough...... This time it's up to you how round. ”

He sighed bitterly and said loudly, "Garuda, let's go and catch that rakshasa demon together!"

Garuda laughed and said, "After I become a Buddha, I can catch that old ghost with a small finger." By the way, why haven't I become a Buddha yet?"

Li said bitterly: "Let's go to the city and find a doctor for Pan'er." ”

Garuda was a little disappointed, and then flew up in the air, grabbed the suffering and the red tassel, put it on his back, and flew directly over the city wall and into the Buddha Kingdom in the Western Regions.

As soon as you enter the city, the bustling street is full of business and prosperity. The people in the town heard that there was a great Bodhisattva with magical powers driving the Western Regions, and they poured into the streets, each of them held a flower umbrella, the shape of the flower umbrella, in the streets and alleys, the river flowed endlessly, the street was like inlaid with a string of beautiful pearls, and the passers-by seemed to be dressed in beautiful colored clothes, and it was as colorful as a broken brocade.

Li Ku couldn't help but be surprised, and exclaimed: "This Western Regions country is really prosperous!"

He looked at the southwest of the outer city from the air, and there was a grand temple inside, with a courtyard, a lecture hall, a scripture building, a large hall, and a monk's room. On the walls of the main hall, you can clearly see beautiful murals, showing exquisite murals such as green glazed tiles, ornately decorated stone pillar bases and huge music pictures.

"The Great Bodhisattva is here!"

"Is that the Great Bodhisattva's Condor?"

I only heard the residents of the town, all shouting in surprise, and everyone cheered and fell to their knees. In an instant, a rapid sound of the piano sounded, like a hundred birds singing, the more the huqin was played, the more cheerful it became, and the sound of the bell was also crackling like a torrential rain.

Rows of dancers from the Western Regions, dressed in beautiful saris, danced lightly, blooming like petals.

Hongying smiled and said, "The people of the whole city are welcoming you." ”

Li Ku frowned, his heart pounded, and he stared down to find Pan'er's trace.

The Buddha Kingdom of the Western Regions is like a grand festival, and the whole people sing and dance to welcome the arrival of the great Bodhisattva.

I saw that the palace nestled in the bushes revealed round golden tile roofs. The holy and elegant hall reflects the crystal clear luster, ethereal and illusory, and the beautiful scenery is like a flower across the clouds, making people unable to distinguish where the real scene is and where is the reflection.

Liku pointed to the palace and said, "It should be the palace." ”

At this moment, a dignified and dignified man walked out of the palace, followed by the merchant and a dozen servants. This man was dressed in luxurious clothes, wearing a crown and a cloak, he looked up at Garuda's huge figure, immediately put his hands on his chest, bowed deeply, and said loudly: "I am Gao Chang, the king of the thirty-six Buddha kingdoms in the Western Regions, and I welcome the great Bodhisattva Dharma here. ”
