Chapter 6 The Story of Guanyin, the Truth of the Basket
"Although His Holiness is not a Buddha, he is more qualified to be called a Buddha than anyone else in this world, and I have heard many legends and stories about His Holiness."
The murderous aura in Wutian's eyes dissipated, and his tone became calm.
He had no hostility towards Guanyin Bodhisattva, and his performance just now was also because Guanyin left Lingshan to track him, so he made a special gesture to give the other party a dismount.
He and Guanyin are enemies after all, and now that Guanyin has left Lingshan and swaggered in front of him, if he doesn't react a little, it will inevitably be a little unpresentable.
When Guanyin Bodhisattva heard Wutian say this, he said with a humble look: "The great monk has a good reputation. ”
After humbling himself, Guanyin Bodhisattva explained again.
"After the reincarnation of the Buddha, the great monk is already the first person in the Three Realms, and all the gods of the heavenly court have been suppressed by the mana of the great monk, and all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Lingshan have also been placed under house arrest by the great monk in the Daxiong Treasure Hall."
"However, in this case, the great monk suddenly left Lingshan, and did not let his right-hand men take care of me, which really worries me, so I want to see, what does the great monk want to do when he leaves Lingshan?"
Wutian calmly looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva, and was silent for a while before he spoke: "Sure enough, he is worthy of the Venerable Guanyin, even in the face of a Buddha enemy like me, he will not speak." ”
After finishing speaking, Wutian put his hands behind his back, looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva with a serious face, and said solemnly: "Venerable, I have a question I want to ask you, are you willing to answer it?" ”
Guanyin Bodhisattva said: "Great monk, you haven't said what the question is, how to ask me to answer." ”
She didn't know what kind of idea Wutian was fighting, in order to prevent herself from inadvertently stepping into the plan of Wutian, Guanyin Bodhisattva had already made up her mind, saying less and doing less.
She left from Lingshan specifically, just to find out what Wutian was going to do when she suddenly left Lingshan, and the rest of the events were not her turn to worry about at all.
Wutian then said, "I have heard the story of the Basket Guanyin, and the question I want to ask His Holiness is, is this story true?" ”
When I used to live on the earth, Wutian heard the story of the basket Guanyin, and thought it was very interesting, and now the Lord is standing in front of him, of course, I have to ask a question.
Guanyin Bodhisattva was stunned for a moment, she thought that Wutian must have a conspiracy, and what she wanted to ask was also about the Lingshan Buddha Realm, but the question asked by Wutian was actually about her, and it was a particularly out-of-the-way and meaningless question.
After pondering, Guanyin Bodhisattva felt that this question was not unanswerable, so he asked in detail: "There are many folk tales, and the same story in different regions has different contents. ”
It is a very novel experience to hear your own story from the mouth of others, especially since this person's identity is still very unusual.
Although Wutian is an enemy of the Lingshan Buddha Realm and an evil demon, his mana is still above the Buddha, and the identity of the first person in the Three Realms does not have any water.
Even if it is Guanyin Bodhisattva, there is a sense of pride in my heart when I hear such a character tell a story about her.
Wutian is not the same as those ordinary believers.
Seeing Guanyin ask in detail, he told the story he had heard on the earth in detail.
"It is said that a long time ago there was a city of sin, where there were some bad people who did nothing evil, once angered the Emperor of Heaven, the Emperor of Heaven then ordered the city to be burned by fire, to destroy the entire city, Venerable Guanyin went to intercede with the Emperor of Heaven, and agreed to let the people of the whole city change their ways to good within three days."
"On the first day, Venerable Guanyin turned into an ugly woman selling fish, and as a result, she was viciously spoken of by everyone in the city."
"On the second day, Venerable Guanyin turned into a beautiful woman selling fish, causing thousands of people in the city to empty the alleys, and many men proposed to Venerable Guanyin, and even the local wealthy, regardless of gold and silver, wanted to marry this woman who was like a heavenly immortal."
"However, the Venerable Guanyin did not want gold or silver, but asked them to recite Buddhist scriptures, and after one of them passed the test of the Venerable Guanyin, the Venerable Guanyin asked for a bamboo basket to fetch water as a dowry."
"Everyone thinks that the bamboo basket is empty, so Venerable Guanyin personally demonstrated, when a fish swam into the bamboo basket, blocked the bamboo basket with fish scales, the bamboo basket successfully hit the water, and then the Venerable Guanyin turned back to his true appearance, and successfully leveled the people of that city."
After listening to Wutian's narration, Venerable Guanyin couldn't help but show a smile on his face and said, "This story is very interesting, but it is not. ”
After answering Wutian's question just now, Guanyin Bodhisattva began to say: "The real cause of the basket Guanyin is indeed the order of the Emperor of Heaven to burn the city. ”
"I didn't have an agreement with the Emperor, nor did I intercede with the Emperor, but the Emperor gave a ten-day deadline, saying that unless the villagers could use bamboo baskets to fetch water, the city would be burned down after ten days."
"When I heard about it, I went to that place and lit a carp and used a bamboo basket to draw water, and it was a local woman who had nothing to do with me."
Wutian nodded lightly, looking at Guanyin Bodhisattva with appreciation: "Sure enough, it is the Guanyin Bodhisattva of great mercy and compassion." ”
Compared with the story he said, the reality told by Guanyin gave people a bland feeling, and besides, Guanyin only lit a carp, which seemed to be just an ordinary help to the locals.
But in fact, Guanyin Bodhisattva actually took a considerable risk in this matter.
If it weren't Guanyin Bodhisattva who knew about this, then those Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the Buddha realm wouldn't care about it.
In "Journey to the West", the Buddha looks powerful, and when he returns thirty-three years later, even the Jade Emperor has to salute him, but in fact, Heavenly Court is the orthodoxy of the Three Realms.
The Jade Emperor ascended the throne 120,000 years ago, and before the Jade Emperor ascended the throne, the Heavenly Emperor was the true overlord of the heavens.
In the original plot, after the end of the scriptures, the little white dragon was named the Eight Guangli Bodhisattvas by Rulai, and in order to avenge his uncle Jinghe Dragon King, he also asked for Sun Wukong's head.
Then, Sun Wukong, who defeated the Buddha in a fight, also went to heaven and earth, and after all kinds of hard work, he could be regarded as helping Xiaobailong to calm the unjust case of the Dragon King of Jinghe.
At that time, Rulai personally explained that the Buddha realm could not meddle in the affairs of the heavenly court, and he, the Buddha, could not point out the mistakes of the Jade Emperor.
The Emperor of Heaven was the overlord of the sky before the Jade Emperor, Chrysostom Yuyan, and the strength of the Heavenly Court at that time was far from being comparable to the Lingshan Buddha Realm.
Kinnara Bodhisattva fell into the Great Sage of the Demon Realm, and it seemed that because of the shameful thing, he was considered impure by the Lingshan Shizun at that time and expelled from the Lingshan Mountain, but in fact, he became a victim of the struggle between the Lingshan Buddha Realm and the Abbomon Sect.
