What does Patriarch Bodhi really look like?

Who is Patriarch Bodhi?

In fact, no one can say this question clearly. Xiao Lei is a scholar of celestials, what is the so-called Eastern mythological system in which one qi turns into three purities, one passes on three friends, etc., or the various immortals in the heavenly court, the three thousand Buddhas of the Western Elysium, and so on......

But who is this Bodhi Patriarch, but he is a confused account. Legend has it that Patriarch Bodhi is an overseas immortal, whose origin is untraceable, and the only thing he has to show his prestige is to train Sun Wukong, an apprentice with great powers. In just seven years, he has taught an apprentice who can overturn the Heavenly Court and the Heavenly Treasure Palace......

And now, this legendary character is standing in front of Xiao Lei.

"You...... Are you the Bodhi Patriarch? What ......do you look like?"

In front of him stood a tall old man, and people usually have the impression of the gods are full of red face, the same solemn image of the treasure, this Bodhi patriarch has a scorched yellow face, a short beard on his chin, a three-point smile on his face, a pair of eyes slightly squinted, and a long body wearing a robe, the robe style is quite strange, non-Taoist and non-monk, and slightly dirty. The hair on his head was hastily split into two buns, and the rest fell out. Such a slightly sloppy old man is the Bodhi Patriarch? is the Bodhi Patriarch who has trained the first hero of the ages?

Bodhi looked at Xiao Lei and smiled slightly: "When you see Master, why don't you worship?"

Xiao Lei came back to his senses. swallowed his saliva: "Are you really the Bodhi Patriarch?"

Bodhi frowned slightly: "What is there to impersonate here? I am not the Jade Emperor, nor am I the Buddha." What's so strange about coming under this name? ”

Xiao Lei sighed: "Then, you are really Sun Wukong." Light Lingzi their master?"

Seeing Bodhi nodding, Xiao Lei immediately bowed: "I've seen Bodhi Patriarch." ”

Bodhi frowned and glanced at him: "Why don't you call Master?"

"Master, do you really want to take me as an apprentice?"

"That's nature. Bodhi Zhengse said: "I know that you are learning the spells of the Freedom Sect...... Hmph, what kind of ability does that kid have in Xiaoyaozi, and he is also worthy of being your master! You have created a peerless creation, and you have a profound blessing in chance, do you think anyone can be your master? Xiaoyaozi's Taoism is so bad, he accepts you as an apprentice, and with his life, he can't bear your blessings at all, so he forcibly accepts you as an apprentice. I'm afraid that he will have to fold his own longevity. I heard that you are no longer a freelancer, and he expelled you from the school. Very good, very good!"

Xiao Lei was slightly unhappy in his heart, stood up and said, "I don't like to hear what you say. All my spells are passed down by the Xiaoyao faction, Xiaoyaozi is my master, that can't be faked, don't be disrespectful to him. ”

Bodhi laughed, but sat down cross-legged. looked at Xiao Lei, his eyes were a little strange.

Xiao Lei looked around, he was still in a cave, this cave is surrounded by mountain walls, there are no holes and no doors, and there are seven night pearls hanging on the mountain wall above his head, arranged according to the appearance of the Big Dipper, shining in the cave as bright as day.

"Do you blame me for saying that Xiaoyaozi is a kid?" Bodhi suddenly laughed: "You are a filial piety. Respect the teacher. ”

Xiao Lei shook his head and said, "Respect the teacher." Not necessarily. On weekdays, in the free school, I often call him an old man, speaking of respect. Not necessarily. I don't like to pay lip service to respect, I respect him in my heart. ”

"Very good, very good, there are many people in the world who respect and scold in their hearts, as long as they respect in their hearts, it is enough. Well, I said that Xiaoyaozi is a kid, but it's not unusual, even if I ask him to kowtow to me, it's not a big deal. Do you know who I am?"

"You...... Naturally, he is the Bodhi Patriarch. Little Ray pursed his lips.

"Hmph...... Boy, listen up!" Patriarch Bodhi smiled slightly, coughed lightly, and chanted: "Madam, all the womb is qi, and the qi is god. For example, those who refine the gods first solidify their qi, and fix their qi before repairing the fetus. The fetus is strong, and the spirit is strong, but it is indispensable. It is to refine the gods, first strengthen their wombs, strengthen their bodies, and strengthen their muscles and bones. The meridians are the river, and the muscles and bones are the mountains. The mountains and rivers are stable, and the flesh is strong, which is also the foundation...... There are three souls and seven souls, and people all take spiritual wisdom as the foundation of immortals and the pool of life. If the spirit and wisdom exist, the existence of immortals, this is a big fallacy. The immortal is based on the qi, the qi is based on the fetus, so the wisdom is the foundation of the fallacy, if the solid fetus should go to the fetal light soul, the soul is the foundation, the victory of the Linghui fetal light is the first of the three souls, if the Taiqing Yang and the qi is the head, when the victory of the spirit of the wisdom ......"

Xiao Lei only heard the first sentence, his face immediately changed, and when the Bodhi Patriarch recited for a while, Xiao Lei had already jumped up and exclaimed: "This, this, this, this is the anti-heaven trick of the Freedom Sect......! How can you recite this anti-heaven trick!!"

Patriarch Bodhi smiled: "What's so strange about the anti-heaven formula, that is, the anti-heaven sword, I can also say it." ”

Xiao Lei was dumbfounded, staring at Patriarch Bodhi: "How do you know...... Ah, yes, you are a god, you can pinch it...... But......" Xiao Lei grabbed his scalp hard and said bitterly: "But even if you can pinch and calculate, you can't calculate all the tricks against the sky......

Patriarch Bodhi retracted his smile, and suddenly reached out and flicked it hard on Xiao Lei's forehead, beating Xiao Lei to the ground, and shouted: "Ignorant boy! I heard that you are usually clever, but now you can still guess it? Let me tell you! What is this anti-heaven trick, the anti-heaven sword, originally created by me!"

This sentence really made Xiao Lei change color!

"You...... You created it?" Xiao Lei Xin: "This is my Xiaoyao Sect's Zhen Sect's Divine Skill! How could it be that you created it?"

Patriarch Bodhi shook his head: "Let me ask you, when this generation of the Xiaoyao faction taught you the anti-heaven formula, did you tell you that this anti-heaven recipe was created by the founding patriarch of the Xiaoyao faction?"

"Yes......"

"Well, I'm asking you, with your current cultivation. It's already quite good, in your opinion, how powerful is this anti-heaven trick and anti-heaven sword?"

"Strong! It's generally strong! If you can cultivate to a high level. There is no one in the sky or on earth!"

"That's it...... Patriarch Bodhi sighed: "Since it is such a powerful spell, then the Founding Ancestor of the Carefree Sect can create such a powerful spell, then it must be a famous immortal...... Why haven't you heard of such a god in the sky?"

"This ......," Xiao Lei couldn't say.

This is indeed a question that exists in Xiao Lei's heart. The Heaven-Defying Technique and the Heaven-Defying Sword are so powerful, why didn't the founding patriarch of the Carefree School hear much about his fame later?

"This anti-heaven recipe and anti-heaven sword were originally ......created by me," Bodhi Patriarch said lightly: "Speaking of which, your founding ancestor of the Freedom Sect was just a disciple of my seat back then. ”

"Wait...... Wait......" Xiao Lei rubbed his temples hard: "Your apprentices, your apprentices have Qinglingzi and Sun Wukong...... But I haven't heard that you have any other powerful apprentices?"

Patriarch Bodhi was silent for a while. Suddenly, he smiled again: "This matter is a long story...... The origin of the teacher. How much do you know?"

"I know, I only know that you are the Bodhi Patriarch, with great magical powers, who taught Sun Wukong seventy-two changes and somersault clouds, as well as the art of immortality......"

Bodhi laughed, waved his hand, and said, "You sit down peacefully." Tell you a story for the teacher......"

Xiao Lei knew that what Bodhi said was probably not trivial, maybe it was an unknown secret, so he immediately sat down respectfully, not daring to have the slightest disrespect.

"It is said that at the beginning of the chaos in the world, the weather in the world is enlightened, all living beings grow, and this human world lives and multiplies...... At that time, there was Emperor Xuanyuan in Middle-earth who fought the demon god Chiyou, which created the atmosphere in the world. Later, in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, Jiang Ziya helped Zhou to defeat the king of Shang. As a result, it triggered a war of immortals and demons in the world, and then Jiang Ziya opened the list to become a god, and only then did all the immortals in the heavenly realm return to their places. To each his class, to each to you. The Eastern Immortal Realm respects the Tao, but what about the West, do you know?"

Xiao Lei shook his head: "Could it be the Western Elysium?"

Patriarch Bodhi tapped him on the forehead again: "Nonsense! At that time, there was no such thing in the world, how could there be a Western Elysium?"

Bodhi then continued: "But it is said that at that time, there was a Western religion in the West, and the teachings of this Western religion were similar to the Taoism of the East, but they were different. There are two ancestors of this Western religion, one is called 'Jieyin' and the other is called 'Zhun Ti', who are the leaders of Western religions. At that time, King Wu of Zhou attacked the world, causing a war of immortals and demons in the world, and the master of the Tongtian Sect laid down the 'Zhuxian Array' and the 'Ten Thousand Immortal Array' to trap Yuan Shi Tianzun and Taishang Laojun. As a result, the two Western sect leaders were attracted to take over and Zhun Ti, and they broke the formation, and only then did they win the king of Shang. (This test is from "Romance of the Gods")

"This introduction and quasi-mention is the leader of the Western religion, and this Western religion should be like the Tao but not the Tao, like the Buddha but not the Buddha. Both of them are people with great powers, and after Jiang Ziya was consecrated as a god, all the immortals in the world returned to their respective positions, and these two Western sect masters also returned to the West. However, it is said that thousands of years later, the 'introduction' cultivated the Zhangliu Immortal Golden Body, founded the Buddhism Sect, and the original Western Religion was merged into Buddhism, and since then, there has been no Western Religion in the world. After receiving the creation of the Buddha, the Dharma name was changed...... Come on!"

Xiao Lei was dumbfounded when he heard this, and his heart beat wildly, but he heard Bodhi continue: "This lead has become Rulai, and he has become the ancestor of Buddhism, and the other sect leader in the Western Sect, that is, Zhun Ti, simply lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests...... Hehe, the entire Western religion has become Buddhism, and Zhun Ti is not willing to stay in the Western Elysium, so he simply travels the world...... This Zhun Ti didn't want to see Rulai again, and he didn't want anyone to look for him, so he simply changed his legal name...... Since then, the name of Zhun Ti has become...... Bodhi. ”

"Ahh......h You...... Are you saying that you are Zhun Ti, the same disciple of the Buddha?"

After thinking about it, Xiao Lei only felt that this statement was incredible, but after all, after thinking about it carefully, there was indeed some truth.

If it weren't for Sun Wukong, how could anyone in the world know Bodhi's name?

As for the story of the introduction and the quasi-mention, Xiao Lei knows it. After all, the legend of the god has been circulating for a long time, and in the legend of the god, the Western sect leader and the quasi-mention are all great and powerful.

After being silent for a long time, Xiao Lei let out a long breath: "So...... You are the Western Sect Leader Zhun Ti ......"

"Not bad. Bodhi said with a smile: "This anti-heaven sword and anti-heaven trick are the creation of the earth when my Dharma name is still Zhun Ti. If you come to create Buddhism, you can see that the West has become a paradise of Buddhism, and Western religion has also been incorporated into Buddhism, but not everyone is happy. The founding patriarch of the Carefree School was originally a disciple of me, although he learned my anti-heaven technique and anti-heaven sword, but unfortunately, he himself could not practice the profundity in his life...... Hehe, don't talk about him, even if he is the person who was in charge of the portal in the later generations, who has really practiced to be invincible in the world? Have you heard of any invincible characters in the world?"

"This ...... It's really not ......," Xiao Lei suddenly said: "But I still have a question that I can't figure out...... You are obviously the Bodhi Patriarch of the Three-Star Cave of the Inclined Moon, and your Dongfu Dojo is in the Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, the Three-Star Cave of the Inclined Moon, how can it be a Western religion?"

"Hey...... At that time, there was no Western religion in the world, only Buddhism as it had come. However, this Western religion is the predecessor of Buddhism, and the teachings are quite similar...... I'm going to test you a little bit here...... This Lingtai is a square mountain...... Hehe, 'Lingtai' and 'Fang Cun', don't you know what it means?"

Xiao Lei thought for a while and said slowly: "Lingtai square inch...... In the teachings of Buddhism, it seems to refer to the habit of mind. ”

Bodhi smiled slightly: "Then the meaning of the three-star cave of the oblique moon, you still can't guess." ”

Xiao Lei silently recited the 'Three Stars Cave of the Oblique Moon' in his mouth, thought for a while, and suddenly laughed loudly: "I understand...... Three stars of the oblique moon, three stars of the oblique moon! Hehe! above the oblique moon, plus three stars...... Isn't it just a habit, word!!"

"Not bad, not bad! Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, the three-star cave of the slanting moon, this was originally what I deliberately said in order to conceal my origin. I don't like restraint by nature, I go with my heart, anywhere in the world, wherever I go, my cave is naturally there, but unlike other immortals, I like to draw a territory, build a dojo, and it's boring! The heart is the body is happy, don't you understand this truth? Boy, the spell of the free school you learned, and what kind of anti-heaven sword and anti-heaven trick, were originally my disciple's exercises, and the magic trick of the circle is also my spell, why don't you hurry over now, kowtow and shout Master!"

Xiao Lei was happy in his heart, and immediately bowed down, and was about to call the master, when he suddenly remembered something in his heart, raised his head and smiled: "Slow down, slow down...... I have one more condition. ”
