Journey to the West: I, the Dragon Prince of the East China Sea, worship Bodhi

Chapter 113 Ksitigarbha Sutra

After receiving the Buddha's explanation, Ao Qing also felt very clear.

He thanked the Buddha, and immediately said: "Buddha, besides these two questions, I have one more request, and I hope the Buddha can help."

Hearing the words, the Buddha nodded slightly: "But for the matter of the third prince Nezha?"

Ao Qing said: "Not bad."

He was not surprised why the Buddha would know this.After all, with the mana of this Tathagata Buddha, it is a breeze to calculate these.

"can."

Faced with Ao Qing's request, the Buddha did not hesitate at all.It was very simple, and he agreed to Ao Qing: "However, now I am in the Land of Ultimate Bliss. Unless Nezha comes to the Western Lingshan, I will not be able to shape him personally. How about I teach you the method of shaping the body, and you How about creating it?"

Ao Qing hesitated a little, and said: "I'm afraid I'm not good at learning, so it's hard to shape it well."

The Buddha said: "You have learned the art of changing the sky, which is just a small way for you."

Hearing this, Ao Qing didn't refuse any more, saying: "If so, I would like to thank the Buddha."

The Buddha raised his hand lightly, flexed his fingers, and suddenly, a ray of spiritual light shot towards Ao Qing.

The spiritual light instantly hit Ao Qing's eyebrows, and in an instant, Ao Qing saw scenes one after another.

This scene is not Sakyamuni.But a girl.

But I saw the girl sitting in front of a stream, kneading the soil with both hands, and gently kneading clay sculptures one by one.

Every time a clay sculpture is made, the girl will put her hands together and recite scriptures and mantras.Soon, with the incantation, the clay sculpture turned into a fleshy body, lifelike.

The scene quickly dissipated... Ao Qing has learned this body sculpting method in an instant!

At the same time, he also realized the identity of the girl in that scene.

To be honest, seeing this scene at first, Ao Qing thought that this girl was the famous goddess of creation in Chinese mythology, the Great God Nuwa.

But after learning this body sculpting method throughout the chapter, Ao Qing realized that it was not the case.

This girl is not Nuwa, but the famous Bodhisattva in Buddhism... Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!

In other words, it was its predecessor, named "Light Eyed Girl".

This method of shaping the body is called: "Mahayana Daji Jizang Sutra".

Although it is true that it can shape life, it is not the same as Nuwa's creation of human beings.

But of course it is.

Nuwa is not a Buddhist.

On the contrary, there are sayings in the Taoist classics "Taishang 81 Transformation" and "Journey to the West" that Nuwa was transformed by Taishang Laojun.

Of course, in Taoism, the term "incarnation" is not a simple transformation into a certain person, and it cannot be completely equated.

For example, one gas transforms three cleans.

Lao Tzu transforms the Three Purities into the Yuanshi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun, and Daode Tianzun.

Sanqing turned into other Taoist gods.

For example, Yuanshi Tianzun transformed into East Prince, West Queen Mother, Doumu Yuanjun, Taiyi Saves Ku Tianzun, Ziwei Great Emperor...

Emperor Ziwei turned into Emperor Fengdu again.

But they all have independent personalities.Therefore, in Ao Qing's view, the "incarnation" mentioned by Taoism is likely to be caused by some kind of magical power.

Just like, if Nezha was transformed by Cang Hu Jie of Yuanshi Tianzun, to some extent, he could also be called the incarnation of Yuanshi Tianzun.This point is probably similar to Taiyi's saving suffering Tianzun, but it was transformed by Yuanshi Tianzun's "nine sun essence".

It's just that Canghujie is more like the spiritual treasure of Yuanshi Tianzun, and the essence of nine suns is like a source of Yuanshi Tianzun.In terms of foundation, even though Canghujie is the treasure that opened up the world, it is definitely not as good as the essence of Jiuyang.

Far away.

In short, whether it is true or not.It is conceivable that there must be some cause and effect between Nuwa and Taishang Laojun.

Therefore, no matter whether the Buddha knew how to make man from earth, Nuwa couldn't do it for him.

Of course, even the reincarnation method of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.Also already, it is a very powerful mana.

After Ao Qing learned it, he immediately felt that this mana contained the method of reincarnation shaping.Don't say it's against Nezha, even if it's against yourself, it has a certain effect.

After learning this method, if you think about it in the future, you can completely shape countless bodies with this method.Each statue can perfectly integrate its own "soul".

However, the strength of the body is also related to the material.

Thinking of this, Ao Qing asked again: "The Buddha is merciful and imparts such great power. However, what kind of material should be used to create a body for Nezha?"

The "incarnation of the lotus" in the original "Journey to the West" was transformed by the Buddha with lotus roots.Ao Qing doesn't have such a thing!

The Buddha said: "Go to the east, to the country of Aolai. This country is close to the sea. There is a mountain in the sea. It is the ancestor of the ten continents and the dragon from the three islands. There is a fairy cave in the mountain, and there is a body for Nezha. Lingbao."

Ao Qing was slightly taken aback by what the Buddha said, but soon realized it.

Isn't what the Buddha said is Huaguo Mountain!

That fairy cave?Could it be...the "Water Curtain Cave"?
The Buddha smiled and said: "Speaking of this fairy mountain, there is a fairy stone in this mountain, which has existed since the creation of heaven and earth. I figured out that this fairy stone not only has a good relationship with my Buddhism, but also has a teacher-student relationship with Sanxing Cave and Bodhi Patriarch. .In that case, he is actually your younger brother.”

The Buddha's smile, in Ao Qing's view, has an inexplicable meaning.

Ao Qing also smiled: "Don't dare to hide from the Buddha. I guess I also received the karma of this fairy stone, so I was lucky enough to meet it for the Patriarch, so I worship it."

The Buddha said: "It is caused by fate, so what can I do? With Prince Long's qualifications, if there is no Bodhi Patriarch, you can worship under my sect."

Hearing this, Ao Qing said solemnly: "Although there is no name for the Buddha's instruction, Ao Qing will always remember it. But if you want to transfer to someone else's sect, please forgive Ao Qing for refusing."

The Buddha said: "The prince has such a heart. I think that if Patriarch Bodhi can hear it, he will be very pleased. Rest assured, the prince, the matter has come to this point, and I will not force it. However, the prince and the fairy stone and my Buddhist sect will have a good relationship in the future. Yuan, this matter is natural. I have already discussed it with Patriarch Bodhi. Therefore, I hope that when the time comes, the prince can help me."

Hearing what the Buddha said, Ao Qing was a little puzzled, but suddenly thought of "Journey to the West".I know that Monkey King's so-called good fate may be related to Journey to the West.

However, Sun Wukong is nothing more than that, what good relationship does his future have with Buddhism?
But judging by the expression on the Buddha's face, he probably wouldn't be able to answer even if he asked.Even if he is willing to speak, he may not be able to understand.All I can say is, let it be!
The Buddha said: "However, the prince does not need to think too much. Your good relationship is not only with my Buddhist gate, but also with that gate and the heavenly court. There are many causes and effects."

Ao Qing heard what the Buddha said again, and asked again, "What do you mean by that?"

The Buddha smiled and said: "Don't say it, don't say it. You inherited the Dragon Ball, and Xiangliu is out of trouble. But you still need to solve it, so go back quickly."

After the Buddha said, the light of the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss began to slowly dissipate, and the power began to turn into nothingness.The magic power of the heart realm gathered on Ao Qing's body again.

Seeing this, Ao Qing no longer insisted, thanked the Buddha again, and closed his eyes slightly.In the next moment, he returned to the "Dragon Palace" and opened his eyes.
