Journey to the West: The poor monk Bodhidharma, the supreme Buddhist and Taoist

Chapter 280 Three Steps!

Outside the West Heaven Gate.

"World Honored One..."

Guanyin just wanted to speak.

Unexpectedly, Tathagata turned his head and glanced at the grand, majestic and majestic Gouchen Palace behind him.

But suddenly he didn't say a word.

Seeing this, Guanyin suddenly came to his senses and shut up immediately.

Holding the jade bottle in hand, he followed Tathagata, stepped on auspicious clouds, and headed for Lingshan.

After leaving the West Heaven Gate thousands of miles away, Tathagata said, "What does Venerable Avalokitesvara want to say?"

"The Jade Emperor used the pretext of discussing the calamity of Journey to the West to summon the World Honored One to discuss matters in the heavenly court, but he rambled and deliberately delayed. He clearly wanted to use Bodhidharma's hand to mess up the calamity of Journey to the West that we had so hard to draw up. Now The Jade Emperor took the opportunity to hold back..."

Since the Antian Conference 500 years ago, Guanyin, as the person in charge of the Lingshan Journey to the West, has been running to the Heavenly Court every now and then, laughing and fighting with the people in the Heavenly Court.

After spending countless thoughts, the two sides reached a consensus on the specific matters of Journey to the West 81 difficulties.

Avalokitesvara originally thought that after a hundred years, she would be able to live a leisurely life.

Who would have thought that Bodhidharma would appear on the way and almost exhausted her efforts.

It is self-evident that Guanyin is upset at this time.

Especially for that Bodhidharma who has never been masked, he can't wait to crush him to ashes.

Avalokitesvara said bitterly: "The most hateful thing is that Bodhidharma, as a disciple of Buddhism, but he disturbed my layout of Journey to the West, so he was seized by the Heavenly Court, so embarrassing... Why doesn't the World Honored One beat this guy into the Abi Hell, and let him go?" Let's save some twists and turns?"

Who knows.

Tathagata shook his head, and said with a light smile, "If you really act as the Venerable said, I'm afraid it will just do what the Jade Emperor wanted!"

Avalokitesvara was slightly startled: "What does the World Honored One mean by this?"

In fact, before the Jade Emperor summoned him, Tathagata had the same thoughts as Avalokitesvara.

After all, he is the World Honored One of Lingshan, the Patriarch of Ten Thousand Buddhas, a mere mortal Buddhist disciple, yet he dared to contradict him openly.

No matter who it is, it is hard not to feel dissatisfied.

It's just that he was afraid of the unknown origin of Bodhidharma's identity, coupled with his mastery of supernatural powers such as the Yuxu Heaven Tribulation Curse, so that Tathagata dared not act rashly.

Rao is so.

Tathagata still couldn't swallow this breath, so he went to the dark abyss behind Yinshan Mountain and conspired with Wutian.

But this time leaving the Heavenly Court, Tathagata has already seen some clues from the words of the Jade Emperor.

Tianting may have the heart to recruit Bodhidharma!

If the Buddhist sect really took action against Bodhidharma, there is no guarantee that the Heavenly Court will secretly help Bodhidharma.

more importantly.

This move undoubtedly pushed a strong man like Bodhidharma directly to the Heavenly Court, allowing the Heavenly Court to gain advantage for no reason.

Tathagata will definitely not be able to do such stupid things.

"I have to say that Bodhidharma is indeed a rare genius. After entering my Buddhist school, he has already attained the Bodhisattva status within a few months. If he can be used by me, he will be like a tiger with wings!"

As said.

"However, Bodhidharma is stubborn, so he may not be willing to use it for me!"

Guanyin said worriedly.

Although she has never met Bodhidharma, she has often heard about Bodhidharma's deeds recently.

Not only did he contradict the Tathagata in the Huaguang Xingyuan, but he also disrespected the ancient Buddha who burned the lamp when he was still in the Lion Camel Kingdom.

It is obviously not an easy task for such a person to worship Lingshan.

Tathagata seems to have thought about this problem long ago, smiled slightly, and said confidently: "If I want Bodhidharma to be used by me, I will naturally need some means!"

Avalokitesvara folded his palms together and said, "My disciple is stupid, so I ask the World Honored One to give me some advice!"

"In general, score in three steps!"

"A treat? Beheading? Accepting as a dog?"

"No!"

Tathagata glanced at Avalokitesvara, "Remove the rehearsal of the catastrophe on the Westward Journey first, so as not to conflict with Bodhidharma! When Bodhidharma arrives in Nanfang Buzhou, it will not be too late to rehearse!"

With Bodhidharma's footsteps, it will take a few years to reach Nanfang Buzhou at most.

Anyway, it was still early for Journey to the West at this time, and there was no rush for the rehearsal or something.

"Yes!"

Guanyin nodded.

Even if Tathagata doesn't mention this matter, she still wants to suggest this.

Bodhidharma traveled all the way to the east, and before he reached the Flame Mountain, he almost destroyed the layout of the westward journey of Buddhism along the way.

If he is allowed to go on like this, the entire Journey to the West, and all the layouts, may have to be re-planned.

Up to now, it is only possible to salvage some.

"Hasn't Bodhidharma already attained the Bodhisattva status? Find a suitable opportunity to gather all the Buddhas and let Dharma come to Lingshan to confer the fruit status!"

heard here.

Avalokitesvara suddenly realized: "World Honored One! Then what about the third step?"

"Finish the first two steps first, as for the third step...let's talk about it later!"

"Follow the law!"

Avalokitesvara suddenly remembered another thing, "Since Master has already planned to bring Bodhidharma under his command and use it for me, does Mo Luo Wutian need to be recalled?"

To know.

In the dark abyss, in order to let Wutian take action, Tathagata even made a promise of cause and effect.

Unexpectedly, he changed his mind so quickly.

At this time, Wutian was already in Nanfang Buzhou, waiting for Bodhidharma to go.

"Need not!"

Tathagata shook his head, pondered for a moment and said, "Thunder's method shows compassion! Besides, I don't dare to jump to conclusions about Bodhidharma's choice now, so it's not a bad thing to keep an extra hand!"

more importantly.

It happens that Wutian can be used to contain Bodhidharma, and vice versa.

"Yes!"

……

Lingxiao Palace.

After hearing Taibai Jinxing's words, the Jade Emperor smiled and said, "The Tathagata stands out among the three thousand Buddhas in the Lingshan Mountain and becomes the World-Honored One. If he doesn't have some resourceful means, how can he be able to sit still so far?"

"What does your majesty mean?"

"The Tathagata is intelligent. During this trip, Heavenly Court must have noticed that my Heavenly Court already intends to attract Bodhidharma. After he returns, he will only try to win over Bodhidharma. How can he do anything to Bodhidharma?"

The Jade Emperor smiled slightly, "I predict that it won't be long before Tathagata will announce that Bodhidharma canonized as Lingshan Bodhisattva, so as to stabilize Bodhidharma!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"However, Tathagata may not know about it. Bodhidharma already knew about his plot with Mo Luo Wutian! No matter how calm Bodhidharma is, after knowing that Tathagata is not good for him, he will never remain indifferent!"

talking.

The Jade Emperor stood up and walked down the jade steps step by step.

"Dharma is going to follow the Bull Demon King to the Blood Cave in Yinshan Mountain, right?"

"Not bad!"

Taibai Jinxing bowed and said, "The Rakshasa sky, form and spirit are all destroyed, and the Rakshasa tribe has no leader, so they captured the son of the Bull Demon King and Iron Fan Princess Honghaier, intending to use this little blood power to recast the Rakshasa's soul." !"

"Perhaps, we can take advantage of this opportunity to use the power of Bodhidharma to pull out the forces that Buddhism has planted in the underworld!"

The Jade Emperor said leisurely.
