Volume 3 The Controversy Between Immortals and Buddhas Chapter Thirteen Secrets at the Bottom of the Pagoda
The Battle of the Gods back then had a great impact on today's world structure, and almost all details are public. The biggest impact was the establishment of the 'Heavenly Court' and the rise of the 'Shi Sect'.
That war caused many immortals to defect from Taoism and convert to Buddhism. For example: Guanyin Bodhisattva, originally the Taoist "Cihang Taoist"; Dingguang Huanxi Buddha, originally the Taoist "Long-eared Dingguang Immortal"; Manjushri Bodhisattva, originally the Taoist
Manjusri, Samantabhadra, etc.
The nine-tailed fox continued:
"The 'Long-Er Dingguang Immortal', who was originally at the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal, felt guilty because of betraying his master. He was unable to break through, and his desires accumulated, gradually giving birth to inner demons.
Seeing that he was about to go astray, the Buddha of Lingjiu Mountain, in order to save the "Long-eared Dingguang Immortal", specially ordered the "female body" Guanyin to come to the rescue.
Master Avalokitesvara dedicated an external incarnation to the Long-eared Dingguang Immortal and spent the rest of the night, successfully helping him to get rid of his inner demons and break through to the Great Luo Immortal. He became the "Dingguang Happy Buddha".
The "Happiness Zen" realized through the combined practice of the Buddha of Joy and the external incarnation of Avalokitesvara has become the main practice of this sect.
And that Bodhisattva incarnation, carrying endless ‘desires’, turned into a demonic body and was suppressed forever.”
"What?"
Wang Bin looked at the nine-tailed fox in disbelief. Not only Wang Bin, but also Chunxuan, Qiu Xuan and other four female cultivators in the distance also looked at the nine-tailed fox in shock.
After calming down and sorting out his thoughts, Wang Bin asked:
"So, what is being suppressed below is the incarnation of Master Guanyin?"
Seeing the nine-tailed fox nodding, Wang Bin swallowed hard. In order to cure Mingyue's burns caused by the divine flames, the two of them went to Luojia Mountain in Nanzhan Buzhou to seek an audience with Guanyin Bodhisattva, but they also saw him from a distance.
Superior style.
There is no doubt about the power of Guanyin.
In order to separate itself from Taoism, Buddhism has its own set of specialized cultivation systems: King Kong, Arhat, Bodhisattva, and Buddha. Although there are elements of contribution to Buddhism, in general, King Kong corresponds to Taiyi Sanxian and Arhat of Taoism.
Then he is Taiyi Sanxian or Taiyi Jinxian, Bodhisattva, Buddha, or at least Daluo Immortal.
Nanhai Guanyin Bodhisattva has a transcendent status in Buddhism. Although he is a Bodhisattva, his influence even exceeds that of an ordinary 'Buddha'.
"Zhenhai Temple and Zhenhai Pagoda. It turns out that the 'sea' refers to Guanyin in the South China Sea.
The juniors have seen the grace of Guanyin Bodhisattva from a distance. If what is suppressed below is really the incarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and the seniors’ magic power cannot be fully restored, with our strength, it may be difficult to get through.
Is it impossible to go up? There are only two Arhats and three Vajras chasing the junior down."
"Above? The 'Six Soul Flags' on the top of the mountain are still there. The Dingguang Huanxi Buddha is in retreat on the top floor. There are four Arhat protectors on the eighth floor. There are eight Vajras presiding over the formation on the first floor. Coupled with the restrictions of the soul cards, Manchu
It is said that I cannot recover to my peak. Even if I recover completely, it is impossible to get out from above.
From below, there may be a glimmer of hope."
"Senior, go down below and pass the incarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Where should we go?"
"Bottomless pit!"
"Bottomless pit? Is there a bottomless pit underneath?"
"If you want to restore all your mana, it will take at least twenty years, but it is not advisable to stay here for a long time. If you have any elixirs that can quickly restore your mana, take them out!"
Wang Bin thought for a while and took out a lot of pills to restore mana:
"Senior, do you think these elixirs are useful to you? It will be good for us to escape if we recover more!"
These elixirs were all bought at a previous exhibition in Mingdao City with a large amount of spirit stones. Except for a whole bottle of earth spirit milk, sun holy fruit, and moon holy fruit, Wang Bin took out all of them without leaving a single pill.
What we are about to face is the incarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva. It is very likely that it is a 'blackened' incarnation of Bodhisattva. If we want to get out safely, the only one we can rely on now is this nine-tailed fox.
The white fox looked at the large pile of suspended bottles and jars, nodded slightly, poured all the elixirs into his mouth, and immediately sat down to adjust his breathing.
The giant panda and the iron-backed wolf walked to the entrance to serve as guardians, while Wang Bin still stood in front of the four girls.
Soon, the two Arhats chased them down and fought with the guarding 'pandas' and the Iron-backed Gray Wolf. Wang Bin also basically determined the strength of the two great demons: the Iron-backed Gray Wolf was in the realm of the Demon King (Taiyi Sanxian)
), the panda is in the realm of the demon emperor.
The two great demons, relying on their terrain advantages and powerful bodies, successfully repelled the attack of the two Arhats.
As the nine-tailed sky fox woke up, everyone gathered again:
"Senior, have you been to the Bottomless Pit from below before? According to the information obtained by this junior, this place is thousands of miles away from the Bottomless Pit in Xingkong Mountain."
The nine-tailed sky fox hesitated:
"So far? I have never been there, but a golden-nosed white-haired rat went out from here. It dug a tunnel with its own hands, leading directly to the bottomless pit. Judging from the information it sent back, she succeeded."
"Golden-nosed white-haired rat? Lady Diyong? Half of Guanyin?"
Wang Bin was a little unbelievable:
"Golden-nosed white-haired rat? Lady Diyong? Half of Guanyin?"
"What, you know it?"
"Back to seniors! Rumor has it that in order to propagate Buddhism, the Buddha at Lingshan sent his favorite disciple Jin Chanzi to be reincarnated to the Tang Dynasty in Nanzhan Buzhou. The Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva arranged for him to travel all the way west to Lingshan, Hezhou, Xiniu to obtain the true scriptures.
.
The four masters and disciples of Jin Chanzi once passed by this place. Jin Chanzi was still seriously ill in Zhenhai Zenlin Temple for three days, and then he was kidnapped by the fairy trapped in the empty mountain and bottomless pit: the golden-nosed white-haired rat, with the intention of marrying Jin Chanzi.
Finally, with the help of Gods such as King Li Tianwang and the Third Prince Nezha of the Heavenly Tower, the golden cicada was rescued and the golden-nosed white-haired rat was captured."
"Oh? This is actually happening?!"
"Yes! Rumor has it that the golden-nosed white-haired rat, named 'Mrs. Diyong', once stole the Buddha's fragrant flowers and candles in Lingshan. The Buddha ordered King Li Tian to capture him. For some reason, King Li let 'Mrs. Diyong' go.
From then on, he worshiped Li Tianwang as his adoptive father and enshrined him in the Bottomless Cave of Xingkong Mountain.
When Jin Chanzi's master and apprentice passed by this place, the golden-nosed white-haired rat called himself 'Hanzhi Guanying', captured Jin Chanzi, and wanted to marry him."
After hearing what Wang Bin said, the four female cultivators behind him looked as usual. After all, this was a familiar thing in the heavenly realm, but the three great demons all showed horrified expressions.
"Is this happening?"
"Yes, senior, these things are almost known to everyone in the heaven."
After pondering for a moment, the Nine-tailed Sky Fox said:
"When a group of monsters besieged Lingshan, the golden-nosed white-haired rat did sneak into the Mahavira Palace and stole some fragrant flowers and candles.
Mrs. Diyong is indeed her nickname.
Half of Guanyin? Half of Guanyin? Hahaha! I understand!"
Looking at Wang Bin, Panda, Canglang and Nine-tailed Fox who looked suspicious, they continued:
"When the golden-nosed white-haired rat escaped from here, it was no longer its original body!
Half of Guanyin, haha!
It must have been taken away by the incarnation of Guanyin below, so it can only be called "Half Guanyin", hahahaha!
It seems that our neighbor is unwilling to be suppressed here forever, and wants to use Jin Chanzi's 'Yuan Yang' and body to escape from his shell! Hahahaha!"
Wang Bin also immediately understood the reason. The golden-nosed white-haired rat that Jin Chanzi's master and apprentice met was no longer the original 'Mrs. Diyong', but the 'Half Guanyin' possessed by the suppressed incarnation of Guanyin, with the intention of fighting against the evil spirit.
Jin Chanzi got married, practiced Happy Zen, and stole the 'Yuan Yang' to escape the fate of being suppressed.
[Author's digression]: Third update!
The content of this chapter and the next chapter may cause dissatisfaction among some believers. Let me make a statement in advance:
The story of the golden-nosed white-haired rat comes from "Journey to the West", and many stories in the third volume "The Controversy between Immortals and Buddhas" are inspired by "Journey to the West" and "The List of Gods."
The setting of the avatar of Guanyin comes from the Huanxi Sect of Tibetan Buddhism. If there are dissatisfied believers, please refer to the relevant legends of the Huanxi Sect and Huanxi Zen.
