Chapter 108: Descending the Dragon Arhat
The gods and Buddhas of the heavens will also descend to the mortal world for various reasons, either to purify sentient beings, or to descend to the mortal world.
Just like the Seven Princesses of Heavenly Court secretly descended to earth and reincarnated, there is also a restless dragon-descending Arhat on the side of Buddhism, who has not been seen for five hundred years.
Manjushri sent several arhats down to look for them, but he didn't want to lose their news.
The watchmen Arhats and Tota Arhats who were rescued by Zhang Xiu came down from Lingshan to look for the Dragon Descending Arhats.
As for the old monk in the temple, he is called Dervishes.
He has been cultivating in the human world for many years, and he has awakened the memories of his previous life, and after synthesizing the information he obtained, he feels that Zhang Xiu is the Dragon Descending Arhat he is looking for.
The dragon arhat is witty by nature, Zhang Xiu is also witty by nature, the dragon arhat likes to eat meat, Zhang Xiu also likes to eat meat, and the dragon arhat likes to extort and rob houses...... Well, I don't think there's any!
The dervish Arhat was explaining to Yan Feng the cause and effect of his pulling Zhang Xiu into the mural, when he suddenly paused slightly, and muttered: "When the dragon descended to the world, did it become tainted with other vices......
Yan Feng listened to his explanation, his heart was full of grooves, and he couldn't help but complain: "If Zhang Xiu is really the reincarnation of the Dragon Arhat, I advise you to go down the mountain as soon as possible, with him in Lingshan, this Buddhism will be finished sooner or later." ”
The dervish Arhat glanced at the mural, frowned slightly, and said, "This Lord Zhang, there are indeed many places that are not like the Dragon Descending Arhat, let's wait and see what the Bodhisattva says......
"I will recognize the wrong person, and the Bodhisattva will always recognize the good."
In the mural, Zhang Xiu came to a place shrouded in fairy mist.
The halls and pavilions here are stacked on top of each other, and the lotus flowers in the golden pond are spread all over the ground.
There was an old monk sitting on a high platform preaching the Dharma, surrounded by many monks listening to the lecture, with a fascinated expression.
Zhang Xiu pricked up his ears and listened, looked at the old monk on the podium, and showed a relieved expression: "The son can be taught." ”
The corners of the old monk's eyes twitched imperceptibly, and he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, but he didn't get angry and continued to talk about the scriptures.
At this time, Zhang Xiu felt that someone had dragged his clothes twice, and when he looked back, it turned out to be the girl with drooping hair in the mural, smiling and approaching him.
"Childe, can you understand the Dharma that the holy monk said?"
Zhang Xiu smiled calmly: "Putting aside Buddhism, I will write every word he says!" ”
The girl's smile suddenly froze on her face: "......"
You didn't understand a word, what kind of pride are you!
The girl sighed speechlessly and said, "I don't understand either, so why don't I take you to play." ”
Zhang Xiu looked at her for a while and asked, "What's your name, how did you come here?" ”
The girl shook her head: "I don't know, it seems that I was born here." ”
Zhang Xiu sighed, and then asked, "Apart from 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 ironclad god general here." ”
Zhang Xiu smiled, rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the golden lotus pond: "There are so many people, then I'll catch a few more carps and make a whole fish feast for you." ”
The girl looked at Zhang Xiu's back, and her face was bloodless with fright.
She is the carp in the pond, and when she heard that Zhang Xiu was going to make a whole fish feast, she was immediately frightened, and she felt that this mortal in the lower realm was so terrifying!
After coming back to his senses, he didn't say a word, turned around and ran!
Zhang Xiu had already taken off his clothes and went to the pond at this time, swam around the pond, and didn't even see the shadow of a fish, so he couldn't help but wonder: "No, I remember that there should be fish in the pond in the temple, could it be that the fish in this pond ......?"
On the high platform, Manjushri, who had become an old monk, stopped preaching and looked at Zhang Xiu with a smile.
If Zhang Xiu is really a dragon descending Arhat, then he will definitely remember that this is the place where he ignited him back then, and remember why there are no fish in the pond.
Then, I heard Zhang Xiu continue: "Could it be that the fish in this pond were secretly eaten by the old monk? ”
Manjushri: "......"
Zhang Xiu turned his face to look, just met Manjushri's messy eyes, showed a kind smile, and said: "I can't see that the master is also a person with a temperament, wait for me to pick a few lotus flowers, please drink!" ”
Manjushri laughed and said, "The old man doesn't drink. ”
Zhang Xiu said indifferently: "It's okay, you can watch me drink, as long as you bring wine and food." ”
Manjushri: "......??" ”
Isn't that why I'm going to invite you?
Manjushri looked at Zhang Xiu's sincere face, sighed helplessly, stepped off the high platform, and led Zhang Xiu through the zigzag fence to a living room.
Let Zhang Xiu wait here, go out of the door and give a few orders, and after a while, two girls came in with a few plates of fruits and vegetables and placed them on Zhang Xiu's table.
Zhang Xiu stared at these anti-seasonal grains, fruits and vegetables, picked a grape and tasted it, and then looked at Manjushri with a look of astonishment.
Looking at Zhang Xiu's surprised expression, Manjushri smiled slightly: "How about my means?" ”
Zhang Xiu exclaimed: "It's amazing, I can't hide it, old abbot, I just saw at a glance that you are not human!" ”
Manjushri smiled and asked, "Oh? So who do you think I am? ”
Zhang Xiu smiled confidently: "If I guessed correctly, you must be the old abbot...... It must be a greenhouse spirit! If it weren't for the greenhouse, how could it be possible to grow so many melons and fruits that violate the season! ”
Manjushri: "......"
He knows Dapeng, but what the hell is a greenhouse Dapeng!
Seeing that he was regarded as a monster by Zhang Xiu, Manjushri couldn't cry or laugh, shook his head and said, "What do you think I am, I am what I am......"
"Little donor, have you ever heard of the name Dragon Descending 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, so maybe he hasn't been born yet." ”
Manjushri was stunned, as if he had a feeling in his heart, and then silently calculated.
After a moment, his expression became surprised.
Zhang Xiu said...... It's true?!
The dragon descending Arhat will indeed be born in Hangzhou Mansion in the future!
He glanced at Zhang Xiu suspiciously, and continued to calculate, but found that Zhang Xiu's future was chaotic, and it seemed that cause and effect were obscured, but it could be deduced that he was ...... The reincarnation of the 10th good man?
Such a good root...... Recently, I seem to have heard that there are several immortals in Heavenly Court and Daomen, but there are few people who can make him unable to count.
Manjushri suddenly remembered someone, looked at Zhang Xiu with a strange expression, and asked tentatively, "Are you ...... Seven princesses? ”
Zhang Xiu smiled kindly: "No, I'm your seventh master!" ”
Manjushri was stunned for a moment, and realized that he might have thought something wrong, after all, no matter how much the seventh princess messed around, she wouldn't be reincarnated as a man, right?
Instead, I felt that the little benefactor in front of me was really unwilling to suffer at all, and was just about to laugh and scold Zhang Xiu, when I suddenly heard a loud shout outside the door.
"Bold and cheap, you dare to entertain mortals in this palace, don't you want to live!"
As he spoke, a black-faced god in iron armor strode in, holding a hammer and a fierce expression.
However, after waiting for a while, he did not wait for those carp spirits to come to him and beg for mercy in fear, as he did in the past, and he couldn't help frowning.
When he turned his face, he saw a scholar and a monk, looking at him without fear.
Two young girls in the form of carp spirits stood beside them, not afraid at all, and their eyes were full of ...... when they looked at him
Full of sympathy??
