Chapter 416: Karma; Bodhisattva suspects that Buddha did it on purpose
I heard some movement outside.
The housekeeper, who had been prepared for a long time, also changed into night clothes and covered his face.
The strong men dispersed in all directions, their purpose was clear, killing people first and making money later.
They knew where the goods in the house were from the housekeeper, and they were not afraid of not finding them.
As for the people in the mansion, their purpose on this trip was to kill them all, and even the housekeeper had no intention of letting them go.
Seeking skin from a tiger is tantamount to seeking death.
The butler also had his own goals. He covered his face, held a sharp knife, and ignored everything else, and went straight to the attic of Julia, the daughter of the Kou family.
He was not a kind person to begin with, otherwise he would not have taken advantage of the second lady's loneliness and emptiness to do such evil things... Now, taking advantage of the strongman entering the house, he also had evil intentions towards Julia.
Julia was alert, and it was hard to sleep on such a thunderstorm night... So she was sitting cross-legged on the bed, holding a sword given to her by Xiao Bailong, using her energy to nourish the sword, hoping that one day she could
The heart and sword blend together to achieve the state of unity between man and sword.
Although Xiao Bailong now specializes in marksmanship, his swordsmanship is equally extraordinary. He also saw that Julia had quite a bit of aura, so he taught her this set of swordsmanship.
Suddenly, I heard some footsteps coming up the bamboo stairs downstairs, and they walked all the way to my door.
Although she had only practiced for a few days, the skills taught by Xiao Bailong were also magical, which were naturally not comparable to ordinary mortal skills. At this time, seeing things at night was naturally not a big problem.
呲——
The blade of the knife was inserted through the crack in the door.
Ding!
There was another soft sound, and the door latch was knocked off.
How brave!
Although she had known that there would be a day to test the sword, Julia did not expect that this day would come so quickly.
call--
calmly.
Julia lay flat on the boat and made slight adjustments to her posture. While hiding the sword, she hoped to send the blade into the villain's throat as quickly as possible.
The visitor's footsteps were very light after entering the house. He seemed to be very careful, probably because he was afraid of waking himself up.
The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer.
And even Julia, who had been mentally prepared in her heart, could not help but become nervous at this moment. Her hand holding the sword hilt was relatively steady at first, but as the man's footsteps continued to get closer, her hand became nervous.
He began to tremble consciously.
The housekeeper looked towards the direction of the bed and saw that Julia showed no sign of waking up, and felt a little reassured.
He held the knife forward and was about to wake Julia up with a scold——
choke!
A flash of silver flashed past.
The housekeeper's eyes suddenly felt cold, and then there was a burning and tingling sensation, until it reached the sky.
ah--
A scream!
Ding dong, the weapon in his hand fell to the ground, and the housekeeper knelt on the ground, covering his eyes with his hands, screaming in pain.
tread!
Julia jumped down from the bed, without saying a word, struck twice more, probably on the opponent's legs, and kicked away his fallen weapon.
At this time, the commotion outside became louder. Not long after, a group of officers and soldiers went upstairs with torches. They saw a bloody thief lying on the ground. They also saw the daughter of the Kou Mansion holding a sword and having a sonorous aura. They were even more shocked.
Shock.
I didn't expect that this daughter of the Kou family would have such methods.
The leader quickly apologized: "I was late, and Miss Julia was frightened!"
"It doesn't matter."
When Julia saw that they were officers and soldiers, she sheathed her sword. Although her heart was beating wildly, she still pretended to be calm at this moment and did not show any sign of cowardice. "I haven't asked the officer yet, why are you here late at night?"
"The magistrate of my family received a letter from the magistrate of Diling County, saying that a group of thieves had sneaked into the city... The magistrate concluded that they came here to seek wealth. In addition, this morning when your mansion saw off Master Sanzang, there was a scene.
With such a huge momentum, I guessed that they would take action against your mansion in the near future, so they sent us to set up an ambush here at night... It's just... not long after they entered the mansion, we went out to arrest them, but we didn't know that this
A fish that slipped through the net came here and disturbed the girl."
The thief was still screaming on the ground.
Julia heard the thief's voice very familiar, so she said: "Please take off his mask."
The commander pulled off his mask and exclaimed: "Oh! Why is it you!"
Julia also looked over quickly. If it wasn’t her housekeeper, who was it?
Peng!
He raised his leg and kicked him, hitting him right in the lower abdomen.
"Eat something from the inside out!" Julia yelled angrily: "You really deserve to die!"
When the commander saw how ruthless the girl was, he couldn't help but shudder, and said quickly: "Girl, all the bandits must have been captured by now. Why don't we take this animal into custody and go visit your father-in-law first?"
The lobby of the Kou Mansion.
All the gangsters were killed and injured.
The dead bodies were placed outside, and those who were still alive were tied up and kneeling outside.
Only one person was captured in the lobby, kneeling in front of the bandits.
Kou Yuwai stretched out his hand and pointed at him for a long time before he realized that his eyes had been scratched by his daughter's sword, and now he couldn't see anything...
"Brother Kou." The prefect stepped forward, whispered a few words of comfort to the Kou member, and asked him to sit down: "Brother Kou, please forgive me..."
"Sir!" Kou Yuanwai took hold of the prefect's hand and said, "I'm not very angry in my heart, I just don't understand...I usually treat him well, and he is greedy for some money. I
I thought of his hard work, but I just pretended not to see him... But I didn't expect him to be so ambitious. If the prefect hadn't arranged it in advance to nip it in the bud... As a young man in the house, I would have asked his family to murder him this time.
"
"Brother Kou was able to turn danger into safety this time, which is actually the result of brother Kou's good deeds during the day." The magistrate smiled and said: "To be honest, I came here today...actually because of the warning from Master Sanzang's disciples, they said this
The steward of the Kou Mansion went out of the city at night and went to Diling County to collude with this group of bandits, intending to murder everyone in the Kou Mansion and rob the gold and silver... Isn't this retribution for the good deeds accumulated by Brother Kou?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The words of the prefect spoke to the innermost feelings of the Kou member.
He said in his heart that the good deeds he had done in half his life were not in vain.
But Wu Jing, who had been watching, said in his heart: "If this is really the case, then we should not even encounter this calamity..."
Master once said that although good and bad retribution do exist, what is preached in the world today is not the true essence of the way of retribution, especially what the common people understand, perhaps it is more of just some appearance.
.
Its function... is to persuade people to do good, or to deceive their minds, I'm afraid there are still two opinions.
Only master dares to say this, and senior brother can pick up a few words.
They usually listen to it, and at most they can say a few words in their mind.
Wu Jing saw clearly that there were more than thirty bandits who came tonight. This group of thieves could be considered a full force. Perhaps it was because the Kou Mansion had a lot of property and there were not enough people to move it all.
But this also allows the people in the yamen to catch them all in one fell swoop, eliminating future troubles.
The affairs of the Kou Mansion have been almost settled.
Wu Jing's few spiritual bodies didn't stay too long. After the prefect took the robbers away, he left.
As for how the second lady confessed to Kou Yuanwai afterwards, and how Kou Yuanwai would handle the matter...that was a family matter in the Kou family, and Wu Jing was not interested in watching on.
Instead, on the second day, Julia proposed to Kou Yuanwai that she could recruit Vos as her wife. Since her two elder brothers and her younger brother Kou Hui were not willing to take over the Kou family's wealth, it would be better to let her take over...and she also
He told his father that he wanted to expand his business to the Tang Dynasty.
The three sons looked down upon their poor family and wanted to study and preach.
If there is no one to take care of this property, who will benefit from it in the end? Isn't that why the housekeeper starts to covet it?
Kou Yuanwai agreed to Julia's request.
But he still called Voss and asked his opinions carefully.
Voss immediately said: "I like Julia. As long as I can be with her, I don't care what status she has... Besides, she will go to Datang to do business in the future. I have acquired the skills taught by Elder Sun, and I will definitely specialize in this field in the future."
, protect Julia’s safety all the way.”
Officer Kou was very pleased with this.
But he still said: "I hope you will remember what you said today. If one day you let me know that you have cheated on Julia, I will not let you go even if I am under the pressure of nine springs."
Yinsi.
The King of Hell received a letter from Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and wrote: "There is a good person named Kou Hong in the world. He can increase the longevity of Yang by one season. After his death, he can be the chief of the book of good destiny for the underworld."
Since it was Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who spoke, the King of Hell naturally obeyed, and it was just a matter of letting the judge take action.
...
Early the next morning.
The sound of rain gradually stopped, and the thunder clouds also dispersed...
In Huaguang Courtyard.
Most of the mountain ghosts and elves in this mountain have gathered here. They received a baptism of Buddhism last night and it has been quite effective today. They are repairing the Huaguang Academy under the command of Xiao Bailong.
In the Lingshan Mountain not far away.
"coming."
The Bodhisattva looked at the Buddha above him and said.
"Finally here." The Buddha was as solemn as ever, sitting on the main hall with bright golden light.
On the contrary, it is the Bodhisattva. Although there is clear light flowing around her body, her outward Buddha nature seems to be much more restrained than before.
The Bodhisattva stood on the white lotus platform and looked towards the foot of Lingshan Mountain, "I wonder how the Buddha is going to deal with them?"
"Why bother?" Buddha also smiled and said, "I just invited him to come to get the scriptures. Now that he's here, just give him the scriptures and take them back to the Tang Dynasty."
"It should be like this." The Bodhisattva nodded, and then asked the Tathagata Buddha: "I heard that he promised all the way, and I left a lot of doubts. I have to wait until I get to Lingshan to personally consult the Buddhas in Lingshan. What is the Buddha's intention?"
"When they go up the mountain, all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas will gather together. They must not be absent without any reason."
After hearing this, the Bodhisattva didn't know what he thought of, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Fortunately, she always had a smile on her face and a compassionate attitude... Although Tathagata Buddha saw it, he didn't ask any questions.
Or maybe the Buddha already knew what the Bodhisattva was thinking, and seemed to say something casually: "I heard that Master Tripitaka is good at teaching disciples. His four disciples are now very profound in Buddhism, especially Sun Wukong, who has long since lost his stubbornness.
....When we get to Lingshan Mountain, we might also let them show it off."
After hearing the words, the Bodhisattva took a deep look at the Buddha. His smile subsided, but his compassion became deeper. He saw her clasping her hands together and saying, "Great kindness!"
She suspected that Buddha did it on purpose.
At this moment, there were only two of them in the Main Hall, so their conversation was relatively straightforward, without any quips... But that was the end of the topic.
To be honest, Tathagata Buddha, who seems to have pearls of wisdom, really hasn't figured out how to deal with them.
Moreover, even if the Buddha had thought of some countermeasures in advance when facing this Master Tripitaka, who was no longer as usual as before, he might not be able to use them when he actually met him.
After all, their master and disciple basically didn't play by common sense along the way. Even if the Buddha had deduced some ideas based on his current acting style... it would be better to remain unchanged in response to all changes after meeting.
What's more, Tathagata Buddha also wants to train Master Tripitaka to become the next Buddha.
As for the future Buddha Maitreya...just take care of his future, why worry about the present.
Just like the Lantern Ancient Buddha, although he also has the name of the past Buddha, his situation in Lingshan is indeed very ordinary... He doesn't even have a monastery in Lingshan.
There are more factions in Buddhism than imagined.
What the Tathagata Buddha can control is actually the three thousand mortal guests who were forcibly transported back then. However, most of these people are Arhat Vajras, and those who can achieve the status of Bodhisattva are very rare, let alone become Buddhas.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If there was a great sage in the demon world in the past, it could be used as an excuse to block him in front of him, but now... he can be regarded as
He is hiding in the demon world and cannot come out. Although he has left a black lotus of the soul in the six realms of reincarnation, he wants to find a black lotus envoy in the three realms, but there seems to be no news so far.
Fortunately, Tathagata Buddha still met with Kinnara in white, and learned some news about the great sage Wutian of the demon world from Kinnara in white.
Not even the great sage of the demon world could do anything about Kinnara Baiyi's betrayal of himself.
Moreover, the current Great Sage of the Demon Realm is searching for the incarnation of the Jade Emperor everywhere in the Demon Realm... This Demon Realm is his base camp. When they met that day, he did not expect that this incarnation of the Jade Emperor would be so restless.
After the meeting between the two parties, the Great Sage of the Demon Realm originally thought that the other party would retreat, but he never expected... the incarnation of the Jade Emperor used his magical power to escape deep into the Demon Realm, and even he could not trace his traces for a while.
As the saying goes, how can others be allowed to snore on the side of the bed... The Jade Emperor suddenly gave him such a hand, and it would be a lie to say that he was not worried.
The most difficult thing is that even after finding this incarnation of the Jade Emperor, he actually has no way to deal with it...it's not a matter of whether he can beat it or not. He is afraid that if he really surrenders this incarnation, his real body will be lured away.
Come...what should we do then?
The general in black robes under the command of the Great Sage of the Demon Realm was facing the Great Sage at this moment, "Your Majesty, Tang Sanzang and his party are almost at the foot of Lingshan Mountain."
"You don't need to call me your great king from now on, call me Wutian Demon Ancestor."
As for Buddha...it's obvious that he won't be able to become one for a while.
