Chapter 196: Bodhisattva feels that he has been plotted
I thought that the Bodhisattva would ask me some compassionate thoughts about the decision between life and death, but I didn't expect the Bodhisattva to ask: "Tripitaka, this poor monk has attracted the innocent souls of these children. He has been thinking about it for a long time, but he doesn't know how to return it to their parents. I don't know if Tripitaka can exist."
A brilliant idea?"
Fahai listened to the Bodhisattva's question, looked at the sixteen lotus seeds stored in the lotus platform, and asked: "Does the Bodhisattva intend for these sixteen children to re-enter the mother's womb and renew the bond of the family?"
"Of course." The Bodhisattva nodded slightly at first, then shook his head and said, "But I still feel that it is inappropriate. When I re-enter the mother's womb, I will be a human being for the second life. Although I am still reincarnated as a soul, I have ended my past life and will never be the same again.
memory."
Fahai added: "In this way, it seems that the child has been recovered, but in fact it is no longer the deceased child."
"The poor monks have a second method, which is to nourish their souls with lotus seeds and shape their bodies with lotus roots, so that they can also have the incarnation of a lotus boy."
Fa Hai thought for a while and said: "If this is the case, although he is alive, he will no longer be a human being. I wonder how the lotus incarnation made by the Bodhisattva is compared to the third prince Nezha?"
The Bodhisattva shook his head and said: "It's hard to predict. Nezha's lotus incarnation came from the lotus pond that contained the precious lotus lamp. It is a spiritual root that is difficult to find in the three realms. The poor monk here only has the South China Sea lotus that keeps this evil beast."
Although Chi is extraordinary, he only has some celestial energy."
"Why bother Bodhisattva? Why not ask their parents." The Great Sage listened for a long time, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Whether they want to enter the mother's womb and obtain a human body, or whether they want to be incarnated as a lotus flower, it is entirely up to them.
.”
After hearing this, Fa Hai suddenly understood and said with a smile: "That's right. Bodhisattva can also ask these children to see their own wishes."
Bajie on the side said with a smile: "I see that most of them want to be incarnated as lotus flowers. Not to mention losing children and finding them again, these children can be regarded as having been incarnated as lotus flowers. As for whether they are still human beings. I'm afraid only Bodhisattvas are confused."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." The Bodhisattva smiled helplessly: "You guys are also naughty. The poor monk only asked you, but you excused yourself with just a few words."
The Bodhisattva did not write any ink, so he immediately recited the incantation and transformed into sixteen phantoms that fell into sixteen households.
After a while, the Bodhisattva opened his eyes, looked at Bajie, and said, "You are really right."
Bajie smiled again and asked curiously: "Bodhisattva, do you think that when these lotus children return home, will those families who had escaped the disaster regret that their children were not sacrificed in the past eight years?"
The Bodhisattva glanced at Bajie and said, "The human heart and human nature are inevitably like this. But who would want their children to suffer like this? This is a disaster, not a fate."
The Great Sage also said at the side: "There are too many children in the world who have died in vain and been sacrificed. Today they have this creation, and it is also because the evildoers here are the carp spirits raised by the Bodhisattva, so the Bodhisattva shows mercy. If you put it elsewhere, who can
Someone comes to rescue?”
The Bodhisattva nodded and said: "Wukong is right. There are many children in the world who have died in vain. The poor monk actually ignored many of them before, which is absolutely wrong. My name of sending children to Guanyin in the human world is no longer effective. This is poor.
It’s the monk’s fault.”
The Bodhisattva recited a mantra here and created a true spiritual incarnation beside her. He said to her: "From now on, you will be the sole proprietor of the incense sent to Guanyin."
"Amitabha." The incarnation chanted the Buddha's name, dispersed into the human world, and fell into the Avalokitesvara Temple, thus connecting the Avalokitesvara statues in the three realms.
"After all, the poor monk's magic power is limited, so he can only perform this method temporarily." Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva suddenly looked at the sea of fa, and said: "There are many evil gods in the three realms, and there are many boys and girls who are sacrificed. The poor monk has his own duties and cannot divide his efforts.
What to do, what to do."
"Although the poor monk is determined to take up this matter, he has to do it after traveling to the west." Fahai pondered for a moment and said: "There is a suitable candidate, maybe the Bodhisattva can recommend it to the heaven."
"who?"
"Shenjun Erlang Guanjiangkou."
The Great Sage was also stroking his palms and smiling: "That's right, that's right. Back then, the Bodhisattva recommended Erlang Zhenjun to the Heavenly Court to take over my old grandson. Now it's better to recommend him to cleanse the evil gods of the three realms."
The Bodhisattva also nodded and said, "This matter belongs to him. I have definitely heard that he has accepted the Jade Emperor's invitation and will take over the judicial order after his wife becomes pregnant."
"Isn't this a coincidence?" Xiao
Bailong said aside: "It is extremely difficult for my dragon clan to conceive, and we are just about to demonstrate the magical power of Guanyin, the Bodhisattva who delivers his son."
Buddha:
Although it is reasonable, I feel that I have been calculated.
The old and young in Chenjiazhuang got the news of the Bodhisattva's apparition. There was no one left in their family, so they all rushed to the Inspiration King Temple. The Bodhisattva naturally knew this situation, but she did not leave because of this. The five masters and disciples of Fahai, including the old man, also followed
aside.
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva used magical powers to take out the lotus roots stored in the jade purification bottle and woven them into sixteen incarnations. Accompanied by fragrance and fairy music, sixteen lotus children came into the world.
The old and young people in Chenjiazhuang, who had just arrived, saw this scene and ordered them to kneel down and worship the Bodhisattva. When the parents of the sixteen families saw it, they had foresight and at this moment they burst into tears and rushed forward to hold their children in their arms.
.
Here we are reunited.
"Amitabha."
After the Bodhisattva recited a Dharma name, he said: "The spirit of the poor monk's disciples secretly went to the mortal world, pretended to be a god, and caused harm to one party. Now he has shown his fierce appearance and was saved by Tripitaka. It is also the reason why these sixteen children suffered disaster and are now difficult to be fulfilled. The poor monk
Using lotus roots in the lotus pond as the body, the sixteen boys reshaped their bodies for this purpose, which is exactly the cycle of cause and effect."
After the Bodhisattva finished speaking, auspicious clouds rose under his feet, he was lifted to the lotus platform, and then disappeared.
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva has left, but Master Tripitaka is still there. The Bodhisattva just said clearly that it was Master Tripitaka who surrendered the great king of inspiration.
The true form of the King of Inspiration is still left in front of the Temple of the King of Inspiration.
The leader, Chen Cheng, took a look at it and said to himself: What a big monster. It is more than ten feet long just by looking at it. They are piled here like a hill.
Fahai suddenly looked at some bold people in the village, with a little greed in his eyes. He frowned slightly, stretched out his hand, and a ray of Buddha's light transformed into the corpse. After flowing for a moment, the essence of the body of the King of Inspiration was transformed.
into the earth, or into rivers.
One nourishes the grain, and the other fattens the fish in the river. This can be regarded as the retribution of the inspiration king for eating boys and girls in the Tongtian River.
There was also a group of young men who were about to destroy the harmful Inspiration King Temple on the spot, but the mature people in the village stopped them and said: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, why not change this temple into a Bodhisattva temple."
This statement was unanimously approved by everyone, and the Joke Bodhisattva appeared. Who dares not to respond?
After briefly talking about the reconstruction plan, the villagers of Chenjiazhuang invited Master Sanzang and his disciples back to the village to have a celebration banquet.
That old man went down to the river to regain his family's ancestral property. He actually wanted to invite Master Sanzang and his disciples to the Water Mansion as guests. But when he thought that the Water Mansion was now occupied by a group of spirits, he couldn't say anything, so he had to go back first.
It's all sorted, and I'll wait at the shore tomorrow.
"Thank you, holy monk, for exorcising the demon."
After returning to Zhuangzi, everyone in Chenjiazhuang, led by the two village owners Chen Cheng and Chen Qing, thanked Master Tripitaka.
After being certified by the Bodhisattva, the Great Sage and Bajie are also real Buddhist elders. At this time, they only have awe, where is the fear?
It was getting late, so we exchanged a few words and dispersed to watch, and the sixteen children went back to their homes.
Bajie suddenly asked out of curiosity: "Master, these children won't be like the third prince Nezha and won't grow up, right?"
