This voice shouted out, and everyone present was shocked except Fa Hai, who had expected it.
The old man even stopped, turned around and looked at Master Sanzang with a nervous expression, "Master, this little old man from Shuifu is not..."
"What are you talking about?" Xiao Bailong grabbed him and said, "I haven't asked you yet. The Shui Mansion has been occupied for nine years. Why didn't you report it to the West Sea Dragon Palace?"
Lao Gen lowered his head and did not dare to speak loudly. After all, he lost the Water Mansion because of his own inability. If the report was reported to the West Sea Dragon Palace, and the Dragon Palace sent people to regain the position of the Water God of the Tianhe River, I am afraid that the owner would change.
Little Bailong is so smart. As soon as the old man started to hesitate, he saw what the old man was thinking and said to himself: He is not young but he is not big-minded.
A mere river leading to the sky is worth less than the billions of the West Sea. How can it be claimed by the Dragon Palace?
I have lived in Tongtianhe for a long time and have never gone out to do business. Naturally, I don’t know how high the sky is and how vast the sea is, so I don’t have any big plans. This is normal. Xiao Bailong will naturally not take this matter to heart.
What he cares about is
"Master, why did Master Guanyin arrange such a monster in Tongtian River?" Xiao Bailong asked seriously, "Is this monster also a disciple prepared by the Bodhisattva for Master to go to the West with him?"
The great sage heard this and laughed and said: "Junior brother, you are too worried. We have already gone half way. How can we arrange for more people? Besides, this beast has been in the mortal world for nine years. I saw that it took advantage of the Bodhisattva not being at home to secretly descend to the earth and become a demon."
.”
Bajie also echoed: "If he was really arranged by Bodhisattva, how dare he not open the door when you called the door before?"
Wu Jing also clasped his hands together: "Junior brother, senior brother and second brother are right."
"Amitabha." Fa Hai recited the Buddha's name and said to the carp spirit in the golden bowl: "You are an evil beast that eats people here, ruining the Bodhisattva's family tradition, and damaging the Bodhisattva's reputation and merit. When the poor monk saw it, he
I will clean up the door on behalf of the Bodhisattva and save you."
The carp spirit was horrified, "How dare you save me before the Bodhisattva arrives!"
The old man was also confused. Where did Master Tripitaka come from? He didn't even give him the respect of a Bodhisattva.
If it had no time to say it, it would save him, so naturally it would not say more. But now that the great inspiration king has clearly told his origins, Master Tripitaka actually wants to save him under the banner of clearing the door for the Bodhisattva.
"Bodhisattva." Fahai simply looked up to the sky and said, "If this demon doesn't see you, I'm afraid he won't be able to be saved by his disciples willingly."
The old man subconsciously looked up and saw that there was a starlight shining there. Where was the figure of the Bodhisattva?
"Amitabha!"
But at this time, a Buddha's name came from mid-air, and then a lotus platform appeared, and then the true body of Guanyin Bodhisattva appeared in the night sky.
Only Lao Gen knelt down and kowtowed obediently, "Little old man, I pay my respects to the Bodhisattva."
"Disciple has seen the Bodhisattva." The five masters and disciples met together, put their hands together and bowed in a ritual of respect to the Buddha.
We are all old acquaintances, no strangers at all.
"well--"
The Bodhisattva sighed softly and stepped off the lotus platform. After landing, he first helped the old man up, then looked at Tripitaka, and said in an unkind tone: "Since it has done evil and fell into your hands, just free it yourself.
But if you want to uncover the whereabouts of a poor monk, do you think you are asking me for lax discipline?"
"Disciple dare not." Although Fa Hai knew that the Bodhisattva was joking about him, he still said seriously: "After all, it is the Bodhisattva's pet. Its last wish is to see the Bodhisattva. Since the Bodhisattva is here, it might as well be fulfilled.
"
"After all, a master and a servant are just like each other." The Bodhisattva stepped forward and scolded it: "You evil beast, you privately descended to earth to occupy the Tongtian River, causing trouble and harming living beings. I can't save you, so you can be saved by Tripitaka."
"Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva, have mercy on me!" The carp spirit never thought that calling out Bodhisattva would not change his fate at all. How could he not give up when the last life-saving straw was cut before his eyes?
Begging for mercy is nothing more than having nothing to say.
"The poor monk wants to ask you, since you sit down with the Bodhisattva and are under the Buddha's shadow, are you secretly going down to the lower world? Do you not know how to inherit the Bodhisattva's compassion and live in peace?
Doing good deeds every day is a meritorious deed? Why do you have to eat people here?"
After the carp spirit was silent for a moment, there were tears in his eyes, as if he had regrets: "The desire of the mouth and stomach."
Appetite?
"People are so unpalatable." Bajie on the side suddenly said.
Although he wasn't the one who ate people in the past, he knew what it tasted like. Before, he couldn't figure out why goblins like to eat people, and they eat them raw.
Later, when I saw more monsters, I realized that monsters not only eat people, but also eat various animals, and even goblins eat them raw.
It's not for anything else, just to fill our stomachs.
It seems that before meeting the Master, it was normal for monsters to eat humans. After all, humans have been often caught and eaten by monsters since they were born.
It is said that in ancient times, there were demon tribes that raised humans for food. Since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors created the foundation for the tribe to last forever, such things have gradually become less common.
"Amitabha."
Fahai stopped entangled with the carp spirit, recited the mantra, and a raging fire ignited in the golden bowl.
After several painful groans, the spirit of the carp spirit dispersed back to the three realms along with the black mist of karma incinerated by the flames of the Great Sun Buddha.
"Amitabha."
Fahai released its body and presented it in front of the Bodhisattva. He recited the name of the Buddha and clasped his hands together: "My disciples have offended many times. I ask the Bodhisattva to forgive me."
"When did you, Tang Sanzang, use this superficial skill?" Guanyin Bodhisattva looked curious, but before Sanzang could answer, she already had the answer in her heart and said, "I know this, but you still want to ask that question?"
Sixteen children, yes or no?"
Fahai and Bodhisattva looked at each other: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from Bodhisattva."
"look!"
Guanyin Bodhisattva stretched out his hand and pointed, and the lotus platform still in mid-air suddenly bloomed with brilliance, and sixteen lotus seeds appeared from the lotus platform. The lotus seeds shone with golden and white colors, reflecting each other.
Fa Hai turned his Dharma eyes and saw that there were sixteen children's souls among them. He bowed to the Bodhisattva and said, "The Bodhisattva is compassionate."
"Compassion?" Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva shook his head and said: "If the poor monk was compassionate, he should not send this sin to the lower world; if the poor monk was compassionate, he should truly transform him into a Buddhist figure and then send him to the lower world; if the poor monk was compassionate,
, why did these sixteen boys and girls die tragically, and why did eight families suffer the pain of losing their children?"
"Compassion, what is compassion?" Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at Fahai and said, "Perhaps this poor monk will not be able to truly understand it throughout his life."
The Great Sage said from the side: "If even Bodhisattvas cannot be compassionate, who in the three realms can be worthy of it?"
"Mercy can be obtained, compassion can also be obtained, but compassion is difficult to practice." Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at Fahai and asked: "I am still unable to make a decision on something, I want to hear your opinion."
Fa Hai bowed again: "The Bodhisattva's words are serious, but if you ask questions, tell me everything you know."
