Even Fahai didn't expect that this "Lingtusk Elephant Buddha" had such an origin.
After hearing what the king said, the great sage said with confusion: "Master, this little elephant is just the son of Samantabhadra's sitting spiritual elephant. What kind of Buddhist teachings can he understand? How dare he discuss Buddhism with the master? And in front of the whole city?"
Xiao Bailong said in a deep voice: "Master must not be fooled by the goblin. I think he knows about Master's magic power and does not dare to go to Wanzi Mountain for the appointment. He is also afraid that Master will take him by force, so he wants to threaten the people of the royal city."
After hearing a few words, the king was very surprised and asked: "What little elephant? How come there is Samantabhadra Bodhisattva?"
"You don't know -" the great sage explained to the king, "I, in the name of my master, went to Nanhai to inquire about the origin of this "Elephant Buddha" from Guanyin Bodhisattva. It was only after the Bodhisattva's guidance that I found out... I protected you back then.
The founder of our country was the white elephant with spiritual tusks on which Samantabhadra Bodhisattva sat, but now the one being enshrined in this Baoxiang Buddhist Temple is a son he gave birth to in private in the mortal world."
"And the reason why he wants to help your ancestors establish a country is actually to use the incense you offer to help his son wash away the evil spirit, transform into a evil body, and achieve a positive result." The great sage waited for the king to digest it for a while.
, and then said: "But this technique is a heretical technique. Therefore, when the white elephant with white teeth came, he was afraid that the baby elephant would be born, and would not be able to suppress the demonic nature and cause chaos. Instead, he ruined the arrangement, so he locked the baby elephant in
In the golden body of the elephant Buddha. Secondly, he was afraid of being noticed by Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, so he naturally never came here again..."
The Great Sage stepped forward to "comfort" the king and said: "This old elephant with spiritual teeth dare not show his face, and this little elephant is locked in a golden body... No matter how much incense is enshrined in your house, there will naturally be no elephant like Buddha.
Appearance... Otherwise, thirteen years ago, you refused him to sacrifice boys and girls... Why has he been holding back until now before he has an attack?"
The king was stunned and said: "I only say that I will send sacrifices and the Buddha will take care of things... If I don't send sacrifices, he will not show his spirit..."
The great sage sneered and said: "You are such an ignorant king. Do you think that praying to Buddha is doing business? In business, it is really about business and righteousness... But instead of sending sacrifices, you closed the Buddhist temple.
, almost cut off his incense, shouldn't he seek retribution from you? Besides, he is a demon, not a Buddha——"
The king paused for a moment, the reason was such a reason, but he thought that he had done a good job... but unexpectedly, the great sage said a few words, and he felt that he was really unreasonable...
"Wukong, stop talking nonsense!"
Seeing that the king was confused, Fahai scolded the great sage, "This monkey is good at not learning, but the bad thing is that he learns very skillfully."
He is already very sharp-tongued. If he were to acquire the skill of Buddhist language again, few people in the three realms could make more noise than him. The king himself is currently distracted. If he listens to his words, losing his mind will be a problem.
.
The Great Sage smiled sarcastically, stepped aside, and said with a smile: "Your family has supported him for nearly two hundred years, which can be regarded as repaying the grace of the Lingtus Elephant Buddha to protect your ancestors and establish the country... Master, if you say this,
This little elephant may not dare to hurt the people in this city."
Fahai saw that the great sage had used his brain to gain inspiration, so he followed him and said, "Tell me and listen."
The Great Sage said: "Master once taught about the way of offering incense. The divine power of the person being worshiped comes from the worshipper's faith. If he takes action against the people in this city, wouldn't he be ruining his own livelihood?"
"What you said makes some sense." Fahai first affirmed Wukong's words, and then made a turning point, "But... do you know how many people in this city still believe in him? Although there are not a few people in this city who recite Buddha's name, but
There are very few people who believe in the Buddha, so what scruples does he have?"
Wukong thought for a while and said: "But if that's the case, since he has got rid of the shackles of the golden body, why is he still staying in the Buddhist temple? He even asked Your Majesty to give him a gift on the pretext that Princess Baihua returned to court.
Are boys and girls offered as sacrifices?”
Xiao Bailong said aside: "Is it possible that this little elephant is just a faggot, and he only dares to ask for help in the name of the elephant Buddha, but in fact he has no courage to do evil at all?"
Everyone fell into deep thought for a moment.
It was Fahai who spoke first: "You will know his depth when you see him tomorrow.@*~~"
...
This little elephant was originally a real beast. In the past, he was bigger, but actually he was not that big at all.
What kind of magic power does it have... In the past two hundred years, the power of the incense offered to him by people was somewhat effective at first. But as time goes by, the power of the incense becomes weaker and weaker.
The main reason is that people began not to believe in him. Although they shouted "Blessed by the Buddha" when they came to offer incense, the power of faith they actually contributed was limited.
Perhaps this is what people often call "sincerity".
According to the original plan of the White Elephant with Spirit Teeth, as long as everything goes well, the baby elephant can actually be reborn and transformed into a demon into a human within a hundred years.
But just because of this impure incense, it took a full hundred years to wash away all of his demonic aura, and his natural demonic power was naturally eliminated completely;
After all, he was transformed into demon nature first, and he has always been calm. Although the power of incense is not very effective, in order to get a positive result, why can't he endure it?
In fact, when he transformed into a demonic nature, he was able to escape from the golden body. He also knew the reason why the power of the incense became impure. It was simply that he could not manifest his spirit.
But he also wants to appear!
But the requirements of those who came to pray to the Buddha... also made him unable to do so.
"Please bless the Elephant Buddha and let me add my son to the top spot in high school this year."*30
"Please bless the Elephant Buddha and let my girl get a good marriage."*50
"Ask the Elephant Buddha to bless me and give me a son."*20
"Ask the Elephant Buddha to bless me and allow my wife to have a daughter."*5
"Ask the Buddha to bless me and make me rich."*∞
"Ask the Buddha to bless me and help me become a Buddha."
Little Elephant: I want this too——
What should I do if I can’t do it?
You might as well just stay in the golden body and don't come out and embarrass yourself.
If you don't come out, you won't come out. At least you can deceive one by one. But if you really manifest your true body and come out, I'm afraid you won't even be able to enjoy this little incense.
Originally, he was stable. He just had to wait for the subsequent power of incense to remove his demon body and completely transform into a human form. Then he could walk in the world upright. With the demon clan transformed by the power of incense like him, he has no worries.
If you don’t know a famous teacher, you just need to practice step by step, and with the help of your father, it will be easy to achieve enlightenment!
But all the changes happened thirteen years ago.
That day, while he was still sleeping, a faint cry for help came from his ears, which woke him up. He suddenly saw a gust of evil wind passing over his head, and saw that a monster had kidnapped Princess Baihua. He was so frightened that he hurriedly hid.
stand up.
Later, the king came to ask for help. Although this king did not come often in the past, his mother, queen, and the little elephant knew each other. These two queens were very sincere... But although he wanted to help,
But how can I be the opponent of that demon?
So I had to pretend not to see it.
When the king was about to leave after begging for seven days in a row, the little elephant couldn't bear it after seeing his hunched figure. He thought secretly for a while and found a piece of the inheritance of the White Elephant clan with spiritual teeth from the depths of his mind.
Secret method - using the energy of yin and yang as a sacrifice, and then supplementing it with the secret skills of the clan, you can seize the creation of the heaven and earth, and gain the power to move mountains and fill seas.
The secret is in the brain, where can I find the energy of yin and yang?
The little elephant thinks it should be on the bodies of boys and girls.
For the first time, he appeared in front of people and asked the abbot and elders to deliver the message.
The result is:——
The Buddhist temple was sealed, cutting off the people's way of worship, and the power of incense, which was already poor, made it even worse.
In the eyes of the little elephant, this is a good intention being treated like a donkey's liver and lungs. If you don't thank me, just forget it and cut off my incense?
It was also because of this that his demon exorcism transformation was stuck at the last step, and everything from the head down had turned into a human form.
The so-called clay figure also has three parts of fire. The little elephant was so angry that he decided that after he succeeded in practicing, he must give him retribution and let him know how powerful the Buddha is!
In the past, he followed his father's instructions and did not dare to practice the inherited secret techniques in his mind. He only waited for him to become a human being and join a famous family to practice the righteous way.
But this time, he really couldn't bear it anymore.
The incense was cut off, the way forward was cut off, and my father was not around, so there was no other way.
After cultivating without the sun and moon, when he woke up again, it was already at this time...
.I was awakened by the abbot elder.
"Lord Buddha, Lord Buddha, great joy, great joy!" The presiding elder bowed down in front of the Buddha statue and said, "Princess Baihua is back, Princess Baihua is back!"
Little Elephant collected his thoughts for a moment, and then stabilized the mana that was surging in his body. He felt that his mana was deep and he was instantly confident.
Now that he was capable, he was determined to show off in front of the king so as to avenge his past grudges.
This appearance is also to let all the people of the Baoxiang Kingdom take a good look at his "Spiritual Tusk Elephant Buddha". He is not a wasted name, so that he can regain the power of incense that he lost in the past... After all, he is only one step away from the demon body.
, this is a big deal.
However, thinking that his master was out of nowhere, he used the pretext of thirteen years ago to retaliate against the king. This also showed that he, the elephant Buddha, was too ungenerous and ruined his own reputation.
He also had an idea and asked the abbot to send a message, "Go and tell the king that Princess Baihua was rescued by the Buddha's appearance, and ask him to quickly send incense and sacrifices and come to worship her."
His wishful thinking was successful.
If the king agrees to do this, renew his incense, and help him transform... it doesn't matter if the past is revealed;
But if the king didn't respond, he just took this opportunity to show his spirit, saying that the king was not true to his word, and asked him to show his spirit to rescue Princess Baihua, but instead cut off his own incense... He himself sent retribution in front of the people of the city.
, still worried about not being able to find the incense?
The corners of the baby elephant's mouth were raised——
It just confirms the results of my thirteen years of practice!
But he never expected that the incense he was waiting for would not come, but instead he would be waiting for an eminent monk from the Tang Dynasty who wanted to discuss Buddhism with him._o_m
