Chapter 38: The Story of the Bodhisattva
"Donor, the poor monk needs to welcome back the Dharma body of the White Lotus Bodhisattva today, please forgive me."
The old monk, who was thin but spirited, stood not far away, looking at Chen Liu and the others with kind eyes, as well as the lotus flower swaying in the wind behind Chen Liu.
On weekdays, the two sides should not fight like this, and they can even sit down to drink tea and talk carefully.
However, at this time, no matter how much Xuankong appreciates Chen Liu, he still needs to complete the entrustment of the Lingguang Bodhisattva.
"White Lotus Bodhisattva? I don't know any White Lotus Bodhisattva. ”
Chen Liu really hadn't heard of the name of the White Lotus Bodhisattva, and had only heard of some lotus god from Bai Jiu...... But he looked at the Xuankong Arhat's gaze, and he also knew that he was here for that lotus seed, this lotus flower.
"The White Lotus Bodhisattva is the first Bodhisattva under the Buddha, and he is also one of the successors of the Lingshan Monarchy that the Buddha values very much."
Xuankong saw that the lotus flower was close to Chen Liu, and he was unwilling to forcibly seize it, and explained the origin of the White Lotus Bodhisattva to Chen Liu.
White Lotus Bodhisattva, the name of the common family, and the hometown of the hometown are no longer known except for a few people.
When she was born, it is said that thousands of lotus flowers appeared in the sky, in the water, and on the ground, and a natural Buddha light fell between her eyebrows and turned into a little cinnabar.
In the days that followed, she was no different from ordinary children, and she grew up slowly under the pampering of her parents.
She once fell into the water, and was also lifted up by a lotus leaf that floated from under the water, and slowly placed it on the shore.
When she first arrived in the cardamom years, she was already out and down, and there was an indescribable holiness. She also tries her best to help her neighbors, loves the elderly, cares for young children, and often finds ways to help others.
At this time, the bullies in the township showed their traditional artistic abilities, and naturally coveted her and wanted to marry her as a wife and concubine. The means used were naturally to blackmail her, and if she did not comply, she would kill her parents and family.
She could only give in and sit in the sedan chair to welcome her relatives.
But when the team to pick up relatives was halfway through, a group of mountain bandits blocked the road and robbed relatives, wiping the necks of all the people who greeted them, exposing the corpses in the wilderness.
She was also captured in the cottage, and the owner of the cottage also wanted to marry her as the wife of the village.
However, it may be a murderer, and people will always kill it.
That night, a swordsman with a sword entered the cottage and slaughtered all the bandits.
The swordsman ignored her, and didn't have the same dirty thoughts as the others.
He just picked up his sword and walked away, just as he had come.
Stained with blood, she returned to her hometown, but everyone avoided her as if they had seen a ghost.
Even her father and mother were coerced by everyone to turn her away.
"The Xie family is going to marry, and the team that greets the relatives is all dead; The mountain bandits robbed, and the cottage was destroyed! She's a lone star, a blood bride! The fox is unlucky! ”
She didn't defend herself, just laughed at herself.
Fortunately, there was no idea of sacrificing the so-called ferocious to heaven at that time, so she would not be burned alive on the fire.
Still, she became a wanderer.
She deliberately pretended to be ugly, so as not to cause any more trouble with her appearance.
And because of this, she also lived somewhere for a while.
Three meals a day, coarse tea and light rice, but after all, life is very peaceful, and she is also very satisfied.
Until a so-called alchemist, when she was exorcizing evil spirits in the village and town, found the place where she lived, and insisted that she was the one who hindered the feng shui of the place.
This time, after all, it was a catastrophe.
Under the persuasion of the warlocks, she was to be used as a sacrifice to the river god.
She had no thought of resisting, and let them dress herself in the bride's clothes again, paint them in the bride's clothes again, and see them once again in surprise when they saw their true colors, the lust in the eyes of the man, and the jealousy in the eyes of the woman.
Finally, she was tied to the so-called dragon boat and pushed into the calm waters.
The two men who were responsible for rowing the dragon boat to the center of the river looked at the wonderful and plump woman in front of them, and moved their minds, but after all, they were afraid of the power of the river god, and after pulling down the plug that released the water, they jumped and left.
Leave her alone to die.
The river slowly submerged the hull of the boat, from the embroidered shoes on the soles of the feet slowly submerged the legs, waist, and neck, and the river slowly poured into the mouth and nose, poured in from the ears, and finally submerged the eyes, the top of the head, and slowly suffocated.
"It's a good feeling to die, isn't it?"
The calm waters of the river suddenly became extremely turbulent, and the river inexplicably began to pound the embankment, once, twice, three times...... Until the embankment is directly broken!
The people on both sides of the river suffered heavy casualties under the raging river, and the so-called alchemist was also swept away by the whirlpool and disappeared.
……
"The story is over? Master, do you want this? The blade will be sent. ”
Probably thinking that they could wait for death, Chen and Liu and the others simply put it on the shelf, eating the small snacks that were turned out of Qingyun's body, and listening to Luohan's story.
And what is the most boring thing about listening to books? It's not that there is no tea or wine around, and it's not the noise of the audience, but the storyteller is halfway through his speech, and suddenly he says: "If you want to know what will happen next, please listen to the next breakdown." ”
I'll break you down!
However, Xuankong stopped not for no reason, although he couldn't understand Chen Liu's words, he felt that it was necessary for Chen Liu and the three of them to know what was going on.
Chen Liu also sensed the strangeness of the Xuankong Arhat, so he followed his gaze and looked back.
I saw that the lotus flower behind him emitted bursts of red light.
On the rosette of flowers, there was a red-clothed female phantom lying lazily sideways, dragging her delicate chin, looking at Chen Liu and Xuankong with interest, as if they were also listening to the story.
"Damn,!"
Chen Liu unceremoniously rowed the boat behind the Xuankong Arhat and sought refuge.
"Master, it's time to subdue demons and eliminate demons!"
Qingyun dismantled the stage at this time and said:
"I don't usually burn incense, but I want Buddha to be just in trouble?"
Chen Liu replied:
"If you don't just encounter something, who burns incense on weekdays?"
The female phantom in the rosette also nodded:
"Yes. However, Xiao Ah Huan may not necessarily hit his sister. ”
"Who is Xiao Ah Huan? What sister? ”
Some of the three people who were confused subconsciously looked at the Xuankong Arhat, and really saw that he was a little crying and laughing.
"Please also ask the Bodhisattva to respect himself."
"When you grow up, you don't recognize people? Don't you remember when my sister took you to pick Bodhi seeds and smash the world-honored one? ”
“…… Nature is recognized. ”
Even a profound existence like Xuankong Arhat is numb in his head, and his sweat is a little uncontrollable.
Chen Liu's eyes were wide open, and his ears were very pointed.
This level of secrets can be taken out and said.
Astound! The Vulture Mountain Xuankong Arhat actually did this to the Buddha with a mysterious woman?!
"I don't care, but Xiao Ah Huan is angry and ashamed, maybe he will kill people."
The woman in red, who seemed to have a clear heart, looked at Chen Liu with a smile and said the careful thoughts in his heart.
"Weather ......"
"yes, the weather is so nice. This method of digressing the topic is too antique, and it has to be changed, right? I...... Forget it, I won't say anything about swearing. Do you think my supernatural powers are terrifying? No privacy at all. No, I don't know what he knows. ”
The words of the woman in red made Chen Liu as helpless as Xuankong Arhat.
Her last sentence, Chen Liu could not believe it no matter what.
Even read out the swear words, and he still can't understand it?
"Taishang...... Well? It's actually in control for you. Kids, that's good. ”
The woman in red wanted to continue to play tricks on the person she had chosen, but she never imagined that after he recited an unknown scripture, she could no longer peek into his heart.
Even when I couldn't hear the verses, I felt a burning sensation.
"Interesting. Forget it, little Ah Huan, is there anything wrong with you? ”
"In order to welcome the Bodhisattva back to the spiritual mountain."
"No, no."
"Why?"
"It's boring, do you still see how many of them are intriguing? World-honored ...... Forget it, it's not interesting anyway, you have to go back. It's really boring, the original little Ah Huan is interesting, but when he cultivates into an Arhat, he cringes and cowers. ”
The conversation between the two of them, what Chen Liu noticed the most was:
"Bodhisattva, she's a Bodhisattva? There's no one in Lingshan, right? ”
“……”
The Xuankong Arhat was speechless.
"Little brother seems to be a little dissatisfied with me, do you want my sister to tell you why I am a bodhisattva?"
"I can't afford it."
At this moment, the woman in red heard a bell ringing, and her complexion suddenly changed.
"That's why they want to catch my sister back?"
Following her gaze, I saw that the Xuankong Arhat picked up the string of bells and placed a jewel on top of the bells.
In an instant, the bell rose into the air, and a few black rays of light shot out from the orb, instantly freezing the woman in red.
"Heh, so she's on their side?"
She recognized the orb, and knew that it was probably the orb that pointed out where it was.
"Bodhisattva, offended."
"It seems that this time I am really going to be captured by Xiao Ahuan, remember to be gentle."
Although the woman in red was indeed frozen by this black light, and there was no way to fight against this Buddha's holy weapon, she didn't seem to have any worries, and was still teasing the Xuankong Arhat.
Chen Liu was a little flustered at this time, their side clearly wanted to prevent this from happening, why didn't they react at all now?
"Xiao Ah Huan is a third-grade, and the five-grade helpers over there are all trapped by him."
The black light began to pull the woman in red towards the orb, but she still had the heart to explain to Chen Liu, and after explaining, he turned his head and said:
"But ......"
Before the words fell, in Chen Liu's small boat, one more person suddenly appeared.
He wore a cloak and a hat, dressed like a fisherman, but his fishing rod had a touch of gold.
Golden rods, golden rods?!
"Dare to ask your lordship?"
Chen Liu asked cautiously.
Although he didn't know the real secret of the rod play, he knew that a master like Yuan Ping was just a silver rod.
"You take this."
The man dressed as a fisherman gave Chen Liu an artifact, and then directly turned into a cloud of mist and disappeared.
“……”
Don't go, my lord!
Can you go and solve the problem before you go? At least take the old monk away!
Silent.
