Chapter 107 How could they cross the river without the red gourd?
…
"Master, it stands to reason that Tang Xuanzang should have arrived at Liusha River. Why didn't Sun Dasheng come here to ask for help..." Mu Zha was a little confused.
"Maybe Wukong has some hidden abilities, let me go and see." Guanyin Bodhisattva said,
"And I can't sense the center of the Liusha River,
Obviously the Liusha River still exists, but we just can't cope with it."
So Muzha followed the Bodhisattva out of the South China Sea and rode the auspicious clouds to the sky above the Liusha River.
Muzha said, "Master, please stay in the clouds for a while, and I will go down and have a look."
Flying down from the clouds, Muzha was completely surprised. Where is this Liusha River?
As far as the eye can see, you can see a huge island, stretching thousands of miles long and hundreds of miles wide.
The former Liusha River was completely transformed into streams that were separated.
If Muzha hadn't come down in person, how would he know about the Liusha River?
No longer exists.
Muzha hurriedly returned to the clouds to report to the Bodhisattva.
The Bodhisattva was also shocked, "No wonder I can't detect where the heart of the river is."
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva steps down on the clouds and does not change like an ordinary person to cover people's ears and eyes.
Just show up as my true self.
The panicked mountain gods, earth gods, river gods, etc. came to pay their respects.
Guanyin Bodhisattva said, "What happened here?"
The river god cried and said, "I was fine here.
I don’t know what Li Ke, the king of Wu in the Tang Dynasty, took and threw into the river.
That one grain kept growing and filled up the river.
Then Li Ke used civilians to open ditches and divide the water flow."
The Bodhisattva finally understood and wondered, "It is indeed that Li Ke.
This is constantly disrupting my plan to spread Buddhist sutras."
After thinking about it, the Bodhisattva asked the mountain gods, land gods, river gods, etc. to return to their respective homes.
Muzha said, "Master, even if Li Ke can divert the Liusha River to a branch,
But the water of this quicksand river is different, even though it is only tens of meters wide,
They are still weak, even without the red gourd, they can’t get by.
We still need Master to help us."
The Bodhisattva nodded, "This quicksand river water was a problem for Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty.
This is true even for branches."
So Guanyin Bodhisattva transformed into hundreds of thousands and searched for traces of Tang Xuanzang and his party in the old boundary of Liusha River.
Muzha was also flying at high altitude, holding a red gourd and calling to Sha Wujing.
An hour later, Guanyin Bodhisattva took away the incarnation and reunited with Muzha.
The Bodhisattva said, "Have you ever seen them?"
Mu Zha shook his head, "I haven't seen it before. It seems that they have crossed the Liusha River."
The Bodhisattva exclaimed, "I really don't know what Li Ke's ability is, but he has overcome another difficulty in obtaining the sutras.
This master and disciple of Xuanzang of Tang Dynasty may have been disturbed by Li Ke."
Just when Guanyin Bodhisattva and Muzha were wondering, a few miles away from the boundary of Liusha River,
Li Ke was seeing off Tang Xuanzang and his party.
Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty clasped his hands and said respectfully, "Thank you so much, King Wu, for your help and for taking the trouble to come and see me off.
However, I have to say goodbye after seeing you for thousands of miles."
Li Ke nodded, "Then let's say goodbye here first."
Sun Wukong stepped forward and whispered beside Li Ke, "Brother,
This time you filled in Lao Sha’s house directly,
And use the divine whip to combine with the nine palaces formed by the skull,
Cross this mortal monk across the river,
That Bodhisattva must be very angry."
Li Ke smiled and said, "Great Sage, this is not Lao Sha's home.
It's almost like saying it's a prison purgatory,
But we just want to disrupt the monk’s plan to learn Buddhist scriptures.
Only in this way can we take the initiative,
Only in this way can we see clearly behind the Samana's plan."
Sun Wukong chuckled, "That's right, this Tathagata plotted against me back then.
Learning from the scriptures is certainly not that simple.”
Before leaving, Li Ke revealed, "Great Sage,
Remember, this fruit must be given to Marshal Pig. The next one belongs to the old pig.
