Chapter 1311: The Tathagata makes a stumbling block
Originally, Xuanzang forced the Jade Emperor to issue a self-criticism edict, but after hiding and discussing, what kind of agreement did they reach?
Why did Xuanzang and his party leave so easily?
Moreover, why did the Jade Emperor seem to have nothing happened since then, and everything is as old as before?
Since there has been no edict of guilt, and there has been no mention of the resurrection of the Dragon King of Jinghe? What is going on with all this?
Moreover, the most important thing is that after leaving Jiang Liu, he was trying to revive the Dragon King of Jinghe? He didn’t mean to ask the Jade Emperor to take action?
"Is it possible? Is there any unspeakable transaction between Xuanzang and the Jade Emperor?" Thinking of the abnormal development of things, the Buddha Tathagata murmured in his heart.
If this is true, then the situation will not be very good! Xuanzang is his own people and must not be attracted by the Jade Emperor.
"The death of the Dragon King of Jinghe is related to the starting point of traveling west to obtain the scriptures. If he is resurrected, wouldn't he tell people all over the world that traveling west to obtain the scriptures from the beginning is a scam? This is a stain on the reputation of Buddhism, so he must never be resurrected!"
Since the situation on the Jade Emperor's side was completely beyond his own expectations, then Buddha Tathagata felt that he should intervene in all this by himself.
However, how should I take action on this intervention? The Buddha Tathagata also found it difficult for a moment.
With the strength of the team that travels to the west to seek scriptures, unless you or the Buddha Rendeng personally take action, you can fight with the team that travels to the west to seek scriptures.
Otherwise, even if Maitreya Buddha takes action, it will be a situation where more defeats, fewer victory.
"Huh? Wait, sometimes, you don't need to take action yourself..." Just as the Buddha's heart was pondering secretly, suddenly, his heart moved slightly.
After an idea, I immediately raised my hand and a treasure book appeared in the hands of Buddha Tathagata.
Then, Buddha Tathagata slowly opened the treasure book, recording his names on it.
There are immortal talismans in the Heavenly Court. Anyone who records the name on it is considered a member of the Heavenly Court power. From the previous four imperial edicts to the heavenly soldiers and generals, this is true!
What about Buddhism? There are also the same treasure book, from the Three Kings and Buddhas to the Dharma Protector Vajra, the Golden Body Arhat, etc. As long as the name is recorded on it, it belongs to members of the Buddhist forces.
Once the member whose name is recorded on it dies, his soul will fall into the hands of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who will be responsible for the reincarnation of the cycle of reincarnation.
Before, I remember that when Xuanzang and his party passed by Pansi Cave, Maitreya Buddha quietly recorded the name of a spider spirit in the treasure book, and then killed him, so that his soul had returned to the hands of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?
So? Can you draw a picture of a cat and a tiger now?
Originally, the Dragon King of Jinghe was the Dragon King of Heavenly Court. After his death, his soul should be under the jurisdiction of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, but in the end, he became a wandering ghost, which was something that the Tathagata Buddha had never figured out.
Today, suddenly, because of the Dragon King of Jinghe, there seems to be any transaction between Jade Emperor and Xuanzang that others don’t know about? This makes the Buddha Tathagata secretly suspicious...
The reason why the soul of the Dragon King of Jinghe became a lonely ghost was that the Jade Emperor secretly expelled the name of the Dragon King of Jinghe from the immortal talisman?
Originally, Tathagata Buddha had never understood the question about the Dragon King of Jinghe, but now, after such an idea was born in the heart of Tathagata Buddha, in his opinion, it seemed that this idea could perfectly explain why the Dragon King of Jinghe became a lonely ghost?
Otherwise, what other explanation can be found?
Could it be that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva deliberately did not collect the soul of the Dragon King of Jinghe?
This is impossible!
It seems that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has never been to the death of any immortal Buddha.
"Since the soul of the Dragon King of Jinghe was removed from the immortal talisman, so that he became a lonely ghost, then I will write its name on my Buddhist treasure book..."
With such thoughts in his mind, Buddha Tathagata did not say nonsense. He took out his pen and wrote the name of the Dragon King of Jinghe on the treasure book, and gave him the identity of the Golden Dragon King of the Dharma Protector.
After the Buddha Tathagata wrote the name of the Dragon King of Jinghe on the treasure book and even sealed the fruit position of the Dragon King of Jinghe, on the side of the team traveling west to obtain scriptures, a bracelet flew out of the body of the White Dragon Horse.
This is the dragon soul bracelet that is housed by the soul of the Dragon King of Jinghe.
At this time, the soul of the Jinghe Dragon King in the dragon soul bracelet flew out directly, looking completely out of his control. Immediately, the soul directly left the restrictions of the dragon soul bracelet, quietly threw itself into the underworld, and arrived in the Ksitigarbha Cave of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva...
"Oh no, how could this happen!?" Seeing his uncle's soul disappearing, the white dragon horse's face changed drastically.
Immediately, I hurriedly opened the dialog box and reported the situation here to Jiang Liu.
At this time, Jiang Liu got the blood of Suiren and was coming to Chang'an City, preparing to connect the corpse of the Dragon King of Jinghe, but suddenly got news from the little white dragon that the soul of Jinghe Dragon King had disappeared directly? He was thrown into the underworld?
"What's going on? Didn't the soul always exist in the dragon soul bracelet?" After receiving the report from Xiaobailong, Jiang Liu's face became solemn, and at the same time, he murmured in his heart.
However, now is not the time to consider these things. Since things have happened, finding the reason is the second step. The first step is to retrieve the soul of the Dragon King of Jinghe first!
As soon as he thought of this, Jiang Liu returned a message to Bailongma, comforted him, and said that he would go to the underworld to take a look. Immediately, Jiang Liu sank directly and followed him into the underworld.
After thinking about it, the soul of the Dragon King of Jinghe was forcibly captured in the underworld, either to the hands of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva or to the Ten Palaces of Yama.
You can't really become a lonely ghost; or you can continue to sink into the Netherworld Blood Sea and reach the hands of the Ancestor of the Styx?
After entering the Netherworld, Jiang Liu thought secretly for a moment in his heart, then opened the dialog box and sent a message to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, asking if the soul of the Dragon King of Jinghe was in his hands.
At the same time, I secretly made my mind aware that if it were not in the hands of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, I would have to go to the Ten Palaces of Yama to take a walk.
"Yes, the soul of the Dragon King of Jinghe is indeed in my hands. This is the second time it has fallen into my hands!" Soon, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva replied to a message, which confirmed the current location of the Dragon King of Jinghe is.
However, looking at the answer from Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Jiang Liu's brows frowned tightly.
The soul of the Dragon King of Jinghe suddenly left the dragon soul bracelet and fell into the hands of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva? What's going on?
"Is this the second time that the soul of the Dragon King of Jinghe has fallen into the hands of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?" At the same time, he noticed what Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said, and Jiang Liu murmured in his heart.
In this way, the reason why the soul of the Dragon King of Jinghe became a lonely and ghost-like existence last time was because Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva deliberately released the soul of the Dragon King of Jinghe?
That's right, since I first came to this world, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has been paying attention to him, so he also knew that if the soul of the Dragon King of Jinghe was kept, it would be more effective for him, right?
No wonder the Dragon King of Jinghe, who is a god, died, and his soul became a lonely ghost, rather than being arranged by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in reincarnation.
"Bodhisattva, why did the soul of the Dragon King of Jinghe fall into your hands again this time?" After suddenly understanding what was going on in my heart, Jiang Liu sent a message to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and asked for the specific reason.
"This time, because the name of the Dragon King of Jinghe was written in the Buddhist treasure book, he was granted the position of the Golden Dragon King of Dharma Protector! He is considered an existence in the Buddhist sect, so his soul fell into my hands again!"
As Jiang Liu asked, soon, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva returned another message and explained the reason for the matter.
"So that's the case! Did Buddhists write the name of the Dragon King of Jinghe in the treasure book?" Jiang Liu nodded suddenly in his heart, and at the same time, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Originally, I took Sun Wukong and others to Lingxiao Palace to seek justice with the Jade Emperor, but after the matter in Lingxiao Palace was over, will there be Buddhists who stumbling to him?
Although I don’t know who the person who took action was, I can add a name to the Buddhist treasure book. If the Buddha Tathagata didn’t know it, it would be impossible!
"So, does the Buddha Tathagata want to resurrect the Dragon King of Jinghe? So, through this matter, should you take action against the Buddha Tathagata?"
Now that the journey to the west has come, Jiang Liu has already decided to counterattack the immortals and Buddhas. Therefore, Jiang Liu now turns into a flat-headed brother. Whenever someone provokes him, he has a little bit of a handle. Jiang Liu reflexively wonders whether he can make a big deal and then kill the other party.
Of course, if you want to kill Buddha Tathagata, you can just think about it now.
After all, I am now a Buddhist. If I really break up with the Buddha Tathagata, the consequences will be more serious than breaking up with the Jade Emperor.
After shaking his head secretly, he temporarily threw out his mind the idea of dealing with Buddha Tathagata, Jiang Liu's attention was re-focused on Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and discussed with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva how to perform a play next to take out the soul of the Dragon King of Jinghe from his hands.
This time, the Buddha Tathagata's eyes were definitely staring at the Dizang Cave...
