Chapter 232: Master Bodhi

What does Bodhi Patriarch look like?

Who is Bodhi Patriarch?

In fact, no one can explain this question clearly. Xiao Lei studied the heavenly beings, what is the so-called Eastern myth system that transformed one qi into three purity, one dynasty, and the like, or the various gods and immortals in the heavenly court, the three thousand Buddhas in the Western Paradise, etc....

But who is this Bodhi Patriarch? It is a confusing person. According to legend, Bodhi Patriarch is an overseas god and his origin is untestable. His only thing that shows his reputation is to train Sun Wukong, a disciple with great power. In just seven years, he taught a disciple who could overthrow the Lingxiao Palace of Heaven...

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

"You... are you Bodhi Patriarch? You look..."

In front of him was a tall old man, who was blushed from the gods that people usually remembered, and his solemn appearance was different. The Bodhi Patriarch had a yellow complexion, a short beard on his chin, a three-point smile on his face, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and he was wearing a robe. The robe was quite strange, neither Taoist nor monk, and a little dirty. The hair on his head was divided into two buns, and the rest were scattered.

Such a slightly sloppy old man is Bodhi Patriarch? The Bodhi Patriarch who trained the number one hero from ancient times to the present?

Bodhi looked at Xiao Lei and smiled and said, "Why don't you worship me when I see Master?"

Xiao Lei then came to his senses and swallowed and spitted: "Are you really the Bodhi Patriarch?"

Bodhi frowned slightly: "What's there to impersonate this? I'm not the Jade Emperor, nor the Buddha of Tathagata. What's so strange about this name?"

Xiao Lei sighed: "Then, are you really Sun Wukong, Qing Lingzi and the others' master?"

Seeing Bodhi nodding, Xiao Lei immediately bowed: "I have met Master Bodhi."

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

"Master? Do you really want to accept me as your apprentice?"

"That's natural." Bodhi said seriously: "I know you learned the magic of the Xiaoyao Sect... Humph, Xiaoyaozi has any skills and deserves to be your master! You have unparalleled fortunes and deep blessings. Do you think anyone can be your master? Xiaoyaozi's Taoism is too bad. He accepts as an apprentice. With his fate, he can't bear your blessings at all. If he forcefully accepts you as an apprentice, he may have to lose his own blessings. I heard that you are no longer from the Xiaoyao Sect. He has removed you from the master, which is very good!"

Xiao Lei felt a little unhappy and stood up and said, "I don't like to listen to what you said. All my magic is taught by Xiaoyao Sect. Xiaoyaozi is my master, so that's not fake. Don't disrespect him."

Bodhi laughed, but sat down cross-legged, looking at Xiao Lei with a strange look.

Xiao Lei looked around and was still in a cave. The cave was covered with mountain walls, with no cave or door. Seven night pearls hung above the mountain wall above him, arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper, illuminating the light in the cave as bright as day.

"You blame me for saying Xiaoyaozi is a boy?" Bodhi suddenly laughed and said, "You are filial and respectful to your teacher."

Xiao Lei shook his head and said, "It may not be necessary to respect teachers and Taoism. In the Xiaoyao Sect, I often call him an old man, but when it comes to respect, it may not be necessary. I don't like to keep respect on my lips, I just respect him in my heart."

"Very very good. There are so many people in the world who scold me. As long as I respect myself, it's enough. Well, I said Xiaoyaozi is a kid, but it's not uncommon. Even if I ask him to kowtow me, it's no big deal. Do you know who I am?"

"You... are naturally the Bodhi Patriarch." Xiao Lei curled his lips.

"Hmph...boy, listen!" Bodhi Patriarch smiled slightly, coughed gently, and chanted: "Madam, the qi in the body, and the spirit above the qi. If the spirit refining the spirit first consolidates its qi, and first cultivates the womb. The fetus is strong and the qi is strong, and the spirit is strong, but it cannot be said. In order to refine the spirit, strengthen the fetus first, strengthen the body, and the muscles and bones are strong. The meridians are rivers, and the muscles and bones are mountains. The mountains and rivers are stable, the flesh and fetus are strong, which is the basis... The soul has three spirits, and people all regard spiritual wisdom as the basis of immortals and the pool of life. If spiritual wisdom does not exist, the immortals do not exist, this is a big mistake. Immortals are based on qi, and qi is based on fertility, so spiritual wisdom is based on fertility. If the fetus is solid, the soul should be used to escape the soul, and the soul should be based on it. The fetus light is better than the spiritual wisdom light is the head of the three souls. If the qi of the clear and harmonious qi of the sun is the head, it should be better than spiritual wisdom..."

Xiao Lei's face changed immediately after hearing the first sentence. After Bodhi Patriarch recited it for a while, Xiao Lei had already jumped up and exclaimed: "This, this, this, this, this, this, this, the Heaven-defying Art of my Xiaoyao Sect! You, you, you... how could you recite this Heaven-defying Art!!"

Bodhi Patriarch smiled and said, "What's so strange about the Heaven-Defying Art? I can tell it even if it's the Heaven-Defying Sword."

Xiao Lei was stunned and stared at Master Bodhi: "How did you know...ah, yes, you are a god, you can pinch and calculate...but..." Xiao Lei grabbed his scalp hard and said in pain: "But even if you can pinch and calculate, you can't calculate all the Heaven-Defiant Art..."

Bodhi Patriarch restrained his smile and suddenly reached out to flick Xiao Lei's forehead. He beat Xiao Lei to his butt and fell to the ground, shouting: "Ignorance boy! I heard that you are as clever as a ghost, but you can't guess it now? Let me tell you! This is the magic trick of the heaven-defying sword, which was originally created by me!"

This sentence really made Xiao Lei change his color!

"You... you created it?" Xiao Lei didn't believe it: "This is my Xiaoyao Sect's unique magical skills! How could it be created by you?"

Bodhi Patriarch shook his head: "I ask you, when this generation of Xiaoyao Sect teaches you the Heaven-Defying Art, did you tell you that this Heaven-Defying Art was created by the founder of Xiaoyao Sect?"

"yes……"

"Well, I'm asking you, with your current cultivation level, you are already quite good. In your opinion, how powerful is this magical skill and the sword of the Heavens?"

"Strong! Not ordinary strong! If you can cultivate to a profound place, no one can beat you in the sky and under the earth!"

"That's it..." Master Bodhi sighed: "Since such a powerful magic, then the founder of the Xiaoyao Sect can create such a powerful magic, he must be a famous god... Why haven't you heard of such a god in the sky?"

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

This is indeed a question that Xiao Lei was in his mind. The Descendant Art and the Descendant Sword are so powerful, why did the founder of the Xiaoyao Sect not hear much about his fame later?

"The Despair of Heaven and the Despair of Heaven were originally created by me..." Bodhi Patriarch said lightly: "To put it bluntly, your founder of the Xiaoyao Sect was just a disciple of my place back then."

"Wait... Wait..." Xiao Lei rubbed his temples hard: "Your apprentice? Your apprentice has Qing Lingzi and others, and Sun Wukong... But I haven't heard that you have other powerful apprentices?"

Bodhi Patriarch was silent for a while, and suddenly laughed again: "This matter is a long story... How much do you know about the origin of the teacher?"

"I don't know, I only know that you are Bodhi Patriarch, with great supernatural powers. You have taught Sun Wukong the Seventy-Two Transformations and Somersault Clouds, as well as the art of immortality..."

Bodhi laughed, waved his hand, and said, "Sit down peacefully and tell you a story for your teacher..."

Xiao Lei knew that what Bodhi said was probably a big deal. Maybe it was an unknown secret. He immediately sat down with respect and did not dare to be disrespectful any more.

"It is said that when the chaos in the world first began to open up, the world's atmosphere was open, all living things grew, and the human world was reborn and multiplied... At that time, Emperor Xuanyuan fought against the demon god Chiyou in the middle earth, which created the human world's atmosphere. Later, in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, Jiang Ziya helped Zhou to defeat King Zhou of Shang, which led to a war of immortals and demons in the world. After that, Jiang Ziya opened the list to be the gods, and then all the immortals in the heaven returned to their positions, each class, and each belonged to their own positions. The Eastern Immortal World regards Tao as its supreme, but what about the West? Do you know?"

Xiao Lei shook his head: "Is it a Western Paradise?"

Bodhi Patriarch knocked on his forehead again: "Nonsense! There was no Tathagata in the world at that time, why was there a Western Paradise?"

Then Bodhi continued, "But at that time, there was Western religion in the West. The doctrines of the Western religion were similar to those of the Taoism in the East. However, they were different. There were two ancestors of the Western religion, one was called "Qingyin" and the other was called "Cunti", which was the leader of the Western religion. At that time, King Wu of Zhou defeated Zhou Zhou, triggering a war between immortals and demons in the world. The leader of the Tongtian Sect set up the "Zhuxian Formation" and "Ten Thousand Immortal Formation" to trap Yuanshi Tianzun and Taishang Laojun. As a result, the two Western leaders, Weiyin and Cunti, broke the formation, and thus defeated King Zhou of Shang."

"These Jingyin and Cundi are the leaders of the Western religion. This Western religion should be like Tao, not Tao, and not Buddha. Both of them are people with great supernatural powers. After Jiang Ziya was appointed as the gods, all the immortals in the world returned to their positions. These two Western leaders returned to the West. But thousands of years later, the "Jingyin" cultivated the immortal golden body and founded the Buddhist religion. The original Western religion was incorporated into Buddhism. Since then, there has been no Western religion in the world. After the founding of the Buddha, the Dharma name became... Tathagata!"

Xiao Lei was stunned and his heart was beating wildly, but he heard Bodhi continue to say, "This is the guise of the Tathagata, the ancestor of Buddhism. The other leader of the Western religion, the Cunti, simply lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests... Hehe, the entire Western religion has become Buddhism, and Cunti is unwilling to stay in the Western Paradise, so he just travels around the world... Cunti doesn't want to see Tathagata again, and doesn't want people to look for him, so he simply changed his Dharma name... Since then, Cunti's Dharma name has become... Bodhi."

"Ah!" Xiao Lei exclaimed and stared at the Bodhi Patriarch in front of him: "You...you...you mean, you are Cunti, the fellow disciples of the Tathagata Buddha?"

After thinking about it, Xiao Lei only felt that this statement was incredible, but after all, after thinking about it carefully, it really makes sense.

This Bodhi Patriarch has great magical powers, but his reputation is not obvious. If it weren't for Sun Wukong, no one in the world knew the name of Bodhi? How could no one know his name with such a powerful person?

As for the story of Jie Yin and Zhunti, Xiao Lei knew it. After all, the legend of Fengshen has been circulating for a long time. In the legend of Fengshen, the Western leader Jie Yin and Zhunti are both famous and powerful.

After being silent for a long time, Xiao Lei let out a long sigh: "So... you are the Western leader Zhunti..."

"No," Bodhi smiled and said, "Is this sword against the heavens and the heavens created by my Dharma name or when Cunti was founded. The Tathagata created Buddhism, and the whole West became the Pure Land of Buddhism, and Western religions were also incorporated into Buddhism, but not everyone was happy. Naturally, there were disciples under my sect, some followed me to wander around the world, and some also learned to travel around the world, and Xiaoyao went freely. The founder of the Xiaoyao Sect was originally a disciple of me. Although I learned my sword against the heavens and the sword against the heavens, it was a pity that he would never be able to practice profound things in his life... Hehe, let alone him, even if he was the person in charge of the Xiaoyao Sect in the past dynasties, who could have truly practiced to the world invincible? Have you ever heard of Xiaoyao Sect who had ever given the invincible world?"

"This... it's really not..." Xiao Lei suddenly said, "But I still have another question that I can't figure it out... You are obviously the Bodhi Patriarch of the Three Star Cave of Xiyue. Your cave temple is in Fangcun Mountain, Lingtai, and the Three Star Cave of Xiyue. How could it be Western Buddhism?"

"Hehe... At that time, there was no Western religion in the world, only the Buddhism of Tathagata. However, this Western religion was the predecessor of Buddhism, and the doctrines were quite similar... I want to get more than you... This Lingtai Fangcunshan... Hehe, "Lingtai" and "Fangcun", don't you know what it means?"

Xiao Lei thought about it and said slowly: "The spiritual platform is square inch... in Buddhist teachings, it seems to refer to the 'heart'."

Bodhi smiled slightly: "Then you can't guess what the Three Star Cave of the Silent Moon means?"

Xiao Lei silently recited the 'Silent Moon Three Star Cave' in his mouth. After thinking for a while, he suddenly laughed loudly: "I understand... Three Stars of the Silent Moon, Three Stars of the Silent Moon! Hehe! Three stars above the Silent Moon... Isn't it just the word "heart"?!"

"Not bad! Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, the Shaky Moon Three Star Cave, which I originally said on purpose to conceal my origin. I don't like to be restrained by nature and go with my heart. Wherever I go, my cave will naturally be wherever I go. Unlike other gods, I like to draw a territory and build a temple, which is boring! The place where the heart is happy is the place where the body is happy. Don't you understand this principle? Boy, the magic of the Xiaoyao Sect, as well as the sword of the Heaven-Defying Sword and the Heaven-Defying Skill, were originally the technique of my disciples, and the Yuanzhen Magical Skill is also my magic. Now, come over quickly and kowtow and shout to Master!"
