Journey to the West: The Golden Crow Sage

Chapter 463 Self-destruction (two in one)

Mosquito Taoist was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised a pair of blood pupils, looked straight at Zhunti, and said with disdain: "Why did the poor Taoist join the Buddhist sect, and the poor Taoist is alone in the world, how can your Buddhist sect How can you get me? After entering your Buddhist gate, you have to be driven by others, and the poor do not like to be bound by these things."

"If you agree to take refuge in my Buddha, the poor monk can be the master and give you the golden lotus of nine grades of merit to help you wash away the evil spirit of blood above the primordial spirit. What do you think?" He immediately said that he made a condition that no one could refuse.

Sure enough, when Taoist Mosquito heard this condition, his expression changed immediately, and he said in surprise, "Is this really true?"

The nine-rank golden lotus is an innate treasure, even among all kinds of innate spiritual treasures, it is also a rare existence. Its predecessor is the twelve-rank golden lotus, the thing that Taoist ancestors became enlightened, and Buddhism is willing to pay such a big price To recruit him, he couldn't help being shocked.

Seeing the expression on the face of Taoist Mosquito who had always been arrogant and arrogant, Zhunti Saint was secretly proud. He glanced at the Buddha and said, "You don't have to be suspicious. The poor monk has never regretted what he said."

Taoist Mosquito still didn't believe it, he looked towards the Buddha Jieyin who was holding a golden lotus of merit in his hands. This treasure was originally given to Jieyin by the Taoist ancestor, and then he gave it to Tathagata as a gift. .

Seeing that Taoist Mosquito looked at him, he nodded and said, "Junior Zhunti's words are the meaning of the poor monk. As long as the donor is willing to convert to my Buddha, the poor monk can accept the donor as a disciple and give this treasure as a gift. "

If the Taoist Qunti was shocked when the Saint Zhunti said it just now, then Taoist Mosquito even breathed a little thicker when Jieyin said it now, and his heart was agitated. He was really a little moved. At this moment, he As long as he nods his head, the treasure he has dreamed of will fall into his pocket. From then on, he will no longer be troubled by the evil spirit of blood, and he is even expected to make a breakthrough and get a glimpse of the supreme realm.

Improving Taoism and living a happy life is a temptation that every god and demon can't resist. Can Daoist Mosquito resist it?
Receiving Buddha didn't know, neither did Zhunti Buddha, both of them looked at Taoist Mosquito with slightly fiery eyes, expecting him to nod.This Taoist Mosquito has an immortal body, crosses the Three Realms, and joins their Buddhism, it is really like a tiger with wings added.

Guanyin Bodhisattva listened silently at the side, but there was a storm in his heart. The two saints paid such a high price to recruit this mosquito Taoist. It was an extremely precious innate spiritual treasure. , the promise he got was nothing more than restoring mana.

The congenital spiritual treasure is indeed precious, but in the eyes of Zhunti Jieyin, it is clear that the Taoist Mosquito is more valuable, and the twelfth-rank golden lotus has become a ninth-rank, which is no longer of much use to saints like them. That's why it was given to the Tathagata. If such a useless innate spiritual treasure is exchanged for a multi-treasure Tathagata to join the teaching, it will be a good deal anyway.Mosquito Taoist is not as strong as the Tathagata Buddha now, but he has obtained this ninth-grade golden lotus, and his cultivation base will definitely improve by leaps and bounds. With his immortal body and sharp mouthparts, his achievements must not be inferior to many treasures.

Jieyin and Zhunti, when they became saints, made great ambitions. Only when Buddhism flourishes, can their cultivation progress further. Therefore, Buddhism is of great significance to them. In order to promote Buddhism, they are No matter what, he betrayed Taoism and established himself as Buddhism from the Western religion, which can be seen.

Will Taoist Mosquito agree?
He didn't know it himself, he stared blankly at the golden lotus of the ninth grade of merit, his heart was full of vacillating thoughts, on the one hand, he wanted to be free and unrestrained, and on the other hand, he wanted to make great progress in his cultivation and not be free from the evil spirit of blood. Troubles, as long as he nodded, the problems that troubled him since he was born will be wiped away, but on the other hand, he has to work for Buddhism for the rest of his life, and he can no longer be as happy as before.

How to choose?How to choose?
He thought for a while, and the voice was full of this voice in his mind, and the two saints seemed to have seen his struggle, and they didn't say anything to urge them, but just waited quietly, as if they were convinced that he would not miss this time Chances are average.

Who is more important to practice, or is freedom more important?

Mosquito Taoist frowned, and gradually became biased in his heart. He only heard him say: "The original power of the golden lotus of merit is of great benefit to the poor Taoist practice. As long as the two saints are willing to give it to the poor Taoist, the poor Taoist can agree. , I will definitely not make things difficult for Buddhism in the future, and I will help you with three things, how about it?"

As soon as these words came out, the three people by the Eight Treasures Merit Pool were all taken aback for a moment. Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva stared at the Taoist Mosquito with a look of disbelief on his face. This is... is this a rejection? ? ?

The two saints Jieyin and Zhunti looked at each other, and they both saw a little surprise in each other's eyes. He never expected that Taoist Mosquito would refuse. Is it something he yearns for day and night? How did he resist this temptation?
That's right, the Mosquito Taoist refused after all, even though the things in front of him were related to whether he became enlightened or not, he still refused. He is a Blood Sea Mosquito Taoist that makes saints helpless. Bao, he still dares to insult the saint, he is immortal, he is unruly, he is rampant, he is criss-crossing the three realms, even the saint has nothing to do with him.

I am free, what can heaven and earth do to me? !

If you can take this merit, you can take it. If you can’t take it, you will create opportunities in the future. But for such a treasure, you will lose yourself, become a lackey of Buddhism, and be restrained from then on. Mosquito Taoist is absolutely unwilling. He wants this What is Liantai for?Isn't it just to get rid of the innate constraints above the primordial spirit?But in order to get rid of one bondage, but enter another bondage, what is the difference between that and the present?
So Taoist Mosquito refused, but he was still a little reluctant to part with this treasure, so he put forward the conditions to see if the Buddhist sect would agree to him.

The sage Zhunti shook his head and said: "If you don't enter my Buddhist school, fellow Taoist, I will definitely not give you this thing."

Just kidding, the preciousness of the ninth-grade golden lotus is that it is cost-effective to get a Mosquito Taoist to join the teaching, but if you want to get it just three times, that is wishful thinking.

Sure enough, did you refuse?

For this result, Taoist Mosquito had already expected it in his heart. He made three shots, but it was not worth the price, but he still had the slightest hope. After all, it was the foundation of his enlightenment.

"Hahahahaha, hahahahaha..."

Mosquito Taoist suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed for a while, then stopped, and said arrogantly: "Receive and guide, Zhunti, you two take good care of this baby, and the poor Taoist will come again one day Take it!"

boom!
As soon as this sentence was finished, the Taoist Mosquito, who was bound by the colorful beam of light, burst open all of a sudden, and he actually blew himself up beside the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, in the saint's ashram.

"This evil beast...!" Zhunti Saint waved his sleeves to block the aftermath of the self-destruction, he looked at the place where Taoist Mosquito self-detonated, and said angrily.

"Junior brother meditates, fate comes and goes, don't force it." Introducing the Buddha's old god.

Zhunti Buddha raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in a hateful voice: "I didn't expect that even the golden lotus of the ninth grade of merit would not be able to impress his heart, but since he missed it today, let him never get this treasure!"

"Senior brother, I don't want to give this treasure to Duobao anymore. I don't believe it if you carry it with you. How can you take away that evil obstacle from you! Without this thing, let him be trapped in this state for the rest of his life. No advances at all!"

Although the Buddha said he was merciful, these two saints had never been merciful people. They would naturally not give him any chance for Taoist Mosquito who insisted on being their enemy.

Jieyin Buddha listened to Zhunti's words, nodded his head, and said: "The poor monk also has this intention. The original source of this nine-grade lotus platform has been damaged, and it can only be restored by nourishing it in this eight-treasure merit pool for a period of time. As before." As soon as the words fell, the brilliance in Jieyin's hand flashed, and the ninth-grade golden lotus of merit suddenly appeared in the eight-treasure merit pool, and the spirits in the pool frantically rushed towards the golden lotus of merit. It seems to be stimulated by something.

Seeing such a scene, Zhunti smiled, flicked his fingers, and a layer of golden restraint immediately covered the virtuous golden lotus tightly, and also isolated all the spirits in the pool. Jian Zhunti said with a smile: "The original source of this golden lotus is damaged, and you can no longer use it to practice. It all disperses, all disperses."

The spiritual creatures like plants, fish and turtles in the pond seemed to understand Zhunti's words, and scattered away from the vicinity of the restriction.

It has been tens of thousands of years since the Conferred God War that year, and the two saints by the Eight Treasures Merit Pool have never left this place. In this saint's dojo, there are saints sitting in town all year round. It's just impossible.

"Guanyin, there are no outsiders here right now. Let's talk about the gathering of demons in Jinshan." After dealing with the golden lotus of merit, Zhunti turned his head and said to Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Avalokitesvara knew that the two sages left her behind to inquire about the Jinshan. After all, Journey to the West was her main responsibility, and she had already figured out how to reply. It has been leaked, they have been captured by Jinshan's monsters, and the Buddhist scriptures have also fallen into their hands, I'm afraid, they have premeditated!"

Next, Avalokitesvara sent Monkey Sun to Zizhu Forest to invite her. She went to heaven to seek help from Master Xuandu but was stopped by Yunxiao. A saint listens.

"Millions of demon soldiers gathered, and many big monsters came out of the mountain. What a great skill of the monster clan!" After listening to Guanyin's description, Zhunti nodded and said with emotion.

The matter has become very clear, it must be that the killing of monsters by the Four King Kongs was leaked, and the monster kings of the monster clan were upset, and they gathered together to trouble their Buddhist sects.But, even though the commotion was quite big, Zhunti didn't take it to heart. With Sanqing not around, how much commotion could have been made with just a few surviving disciples who had stopped teaching?As long as he and Jie Yin think about it, he can calm down that golden mountain with a wave of his hand.

But, if the two of them really want to do it in person, there is no need. With the strength of today's Buddhism, it can be dealt with completely. The Yaozu is no longer the protagonist of the world, but the Buddhism is far more prosperous than it was in the past. .

I only heard Zhun mention: "You go and tell the Tathagata about this, and let him solve this disaster, so that Jin Chanzi and others can go on the road early. If there is any difficulty, my senior brother and I will naturally help you." .”

Avalokitesvara complied, and was just about to step out, but saw the Buddha who was guiding him stop him: "Wait a minute."

Avalokitesvara stopped in her tracks, looked at Jieyin with a puzzled expression on her face, and then said: "The gathering of monsters and causing chaos in the earth and fairy world is not all about my Buddhism. You should send someone to the heavenly court to tell the Jade Emperor, Let him send the heavenly soldiers and generals to help you subdue those million little demons."

Is this dragging the Heavenly Court into the water?Avalokitesvara murmured silently in her heart, and said yes, but this approach is also very clever. Originally, the matter of learning scriptures was planned by Buddhism and promoted by the Jade Emperor. He was unwilling to be lonely, and wanted to promote the struggle between Buddhism and Taoism. He was so fishy in troubled waters, and now that his westward travel was hindered, he should do his best to subdue the demons. If he failed to learn from the scriptures, Buddhism would not be able to prosper. If Buddhism is not prosperous, then Sanqing always focuses on the heaven, and he is also uncomfortable as the emperor of heaven.

Avalokitesvara walked out of the Eight Treasures Merit Pond and headed towards Daleiyin Temple with a cloud. Seeing his figure disappear, Zhunti smiled and said: "Brother, this is really a good opportunity to come to your door. If we don’t have the position, and the momentum of the monster clan, as long as we calm down in one fell swoop, our Buddhist sect will be able to completely control Xiniu Hezhou from now on, and the spread of Buddhism to the east will be unimpeded.”

Jieyin didn't answer, just clasped his palms together, and uttered the Buddha's name for a long time, but the look of grief on his face seemed to have faded a bit.

……

"Hui An, my old grandson really can't wait any longer. The Bodhisattva hasn't come back after all these days. Could it be that something happened. I'm going to Jinshan to see Master. He must not have any accidents!"

The Zizhu Forest in the South China Sea, Sun Houzi, who has been detained since the last time he inquired about the situation in Jinshan, said to Hui'an Walker a little impatiently, "It's been a long time, and the Guanyin hasn't returned. There are no bones left, and at that time, there is no way to learn from the scriptures. How can the golden hoop on his head be untied?
Hui'an Xingzhe also felt that something was wrong. After the monkey came back, he told him that the Jinshan Bull Demon King and Mo Chen were there, as well as the Qingniu Jing from Tushita Palace. When these people got together, Guanyin really couldn't surrender. , although the Bodhisattva said that she was going to the Bajing Palace, it wouldn't be so long without any movement?
Hui An, who was worried about Master's safety in his heart, also wanted to find out. He said: "The demons on the Jinshan Mountain are powerful, so don't be shy. Since you are in a hurry, let's go and have a look, but you have to promise me, Let's just take a look, it's fine if the Bodhisattva didn't go there, the Bodhisattva is about to be captured, you are not allowed to take action, let's go find a helping hand!"...
