I am guarding the sky prison in Journey to the West

Chapter 155
On both sides of the Tongtian River.

A crowd of men, women, old and young only thought that Guanyin cast spells to eliminate the wind, snow and ice. Regardless of the mud and water, they knelt down on the ground and kowtowed: "Save the suffering and suffering Guanyin Bodhisattva!"

above the clouds.

The three Houzi brothers were silent like cicadas, seeing the tragic situation of all the lives in the Tongtian River, their complexions changed drastically, and it was difficult to hide the horror in their hearts.

Li Anran is no exception.

Even though he has seen Guanyin's cruel treatment of the Tongtianhe Shui Clan in the book, but the written description and seeing it with his own eyes are completely different.

Eight hundred miles across the Tianhe River, the surface of the water is full of corpses of various fish, shrimp, turtles and snakes, and there is no life in the water.

That is to say, when Guanyin silenced, he used the method of superseding.

Otherwise, Tongtianhe must be full of resentment, and I don't know how many water ghosts and resentful souls will be born!

"Bodhisattva, what are you doing? The King of Inspiration is guilty. How can this river-full of creatures be blamed?"

Li Anran frowned slightly, and asked a question that best suited his identity in a deep voice.

Monkey, Zhu Bajie, and Drifting also realized that Guanyin had a problem with Tong Tianhe and King Inspiration, but they all dared not ask.

Guanyin said lightly: "When this evil animal escaped from my Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea, it took away a lot of water from the lotus pond. The water in the pond has been influenced by Buddhism and has become miraculous. After flowing into the Tongtian River, I don't know how many people will breed. evildoer."

"I send these aquariums into samsara, which can not only prevent the monsters in the Tongtian River from rampaging and harming the creatures on both sides of the river, but also protect them from the suffering of the animal life in this world. It kills two birds with one stone."

Guanyin is obviously talking nonsense with his eyes open.

However, Li Anran had no way to refute it face to face, so he could only say: "So that's how it is."

Zhu Bajie flattered from the side: "The Bodhisattva is merciful! It's really admirable!"

It's just that the content of his words is somewhat yin and yang.

I don't know if it was unintentional or intentional.

Guanyin ignored him, and said to Li Anran: "Prisoner God, this evil animal escaped from my lotus pond, and I am responsible for lax discipline. I will go to Lingxiao Palace with you The Jade Emperor apologizes."

After killing the mouth, you don't want to hand over the king of inspiration?

Li Anran snorted coldly in his heart, and said: "It's better like this. However, according to the rules of heaven, these monsters captured from the mortal world are not allowed to be brought into the Lingxiao Palace without edict, and they must be locked in the prison first. Report to the Jade Emperor, just wait for the Jade Emperor to send it down. I also ask the Bodhisattva to hand over this inspiration king to me first."

Guanyin frowned, and said: "This evil animal is a goldfish in my lotus pond, not a mortal monster!"

Li Anran insisted: "All monsters captured from the mortal world must abide by this heavenly rule, regardless of their origin. It was the same when I captured Zhu Gangyi back to the heaven. Bodhisattva, don't make things difficult for me."

Zhu Bajie: "..." You say what you say, what do you do with me!
Guanyin took a deep look at Li Anran.

Not long after the Immortal Tea Conference ended, the news of Li Anran's apprenticeship to Daoist Taiyi has not yet spread in the Three Realms.

Monkey, Zhu Bajie, and Drifting Monk don't know anything about it.

But Guanyin already knew, she suspected that Li Anran was deliberately troubling her to save her face!

On the other hand, Li Anran has a calm and serious face, with an expression of "enforcing the law impartially and being upright".

He has practiced Hehuan Kungfu for so many years, and controlling his emotions is just a matter of effort, and Guanyin can't see any flaws.

That's it!

This Li Anran should not know what happened here!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have come alone today, let alone stand by and let me take over!
Guanyin also thought that it would not take a moment for her to go to the Lingxiao Palace to confess to the Jade Emperor, and finally decided to hand over the King of Inspiration.

"Since that's the case, then follow what the Prison God said!"

But before that, she said to the King of Inspiration in the basket: "Naughty animal, you go to the prison with the Prison God, remember to be honest and obedient, and don't make trouble again! When I go to see the Jade Emperor, I will punish you myself!"

The goldfish in the bamboo basket floated up and down in the water, and the fish head tapped a few times to show that it knew.

Afterwards, Guanyin handed the bamboo basket to Li Anran.

"Thank you Bodhisattva for your understanding." Li Anran was respectful on the face, but he couldn't help but sneered in his heart.

The translation of Guanyin's words just now is "Don't talk nonsense, I'm going to see the Jade Emperor, and I will fish you out soon."

But she didn't know that Li Anran didn't need to interrogate King Inspiration!
As long as the king of inspiration enters the dungeon, everything about him will be invisible to Li Anran!

"Prison God, let's go."

Avalokitesvara was anxious to solve the matter of the king of inspiration, and immediately flew to the heaven with Li Anran.

After arriving at the Heavenly Court, Avalokitesvara went directly to the Lingxiao Palace to ask to see the Jade Emperor.

Li Anran took the Inspiration King back to the dungeon first.

【Prisoner: The Inspiration King of Tongtian River】

[Sin Point: Four Stars]

【Cultivation level: Eightfold Golden Immortal】

【Status: Escorting】

[Catch participation rate: 5%]

[Revenue: 90000 experience points/day]

Sin is worth four stars!

This king of inspiration really did other shameful things!
Li Anran's eyes lit up.

Because of the existence of reincarnation, the Punishment Book has a very low judgment on the evil value of killing evil.

The crime value of the king of inspiration can reach four stars, it is not as simple as eating a few people and cheating some incense.

Li Anran knew that time was running out, and Guanyin might use the Jade Emperor's imperial decree to take the Inspiration King away at any time.

As he escorted the king of inspiration into the dungeon, he browsed the life of the king of inspiration.

Western cattle Hezhou.

In a clear pool.

A ignorant goldfish was swimming leisurely and contentedly, when he overheard someone muttering to himself.

"The same as the Twelve Golden Immortals, Guangchengzi, Chijingzi, Yuding Daoist, Daoxing Tianzun have all beheaded the good corpses, why do I still have no clue?"

"Could it be that, as Teacher Ran Deng said, it is the master's partiality, and only the person who has taken down the Four Swords of Jade Immortal will have great merit and good fortune, and be able to kill the corpse successfully?"

"Incense of virtue, incense, and golden body will be useful for me to kill the corpse! But, I am a member of the Taoist sect, how can I join the Western sect? In this way, how is it different from the disciples of the Chang-eared Dingguang Immortal? "

……

The goldfish has not yet been born with wisdom, and does not know the meaning of the words, but it is attracted by the voice, unknowingly swam over, and looked up to the outside of the pool.

Looking directly at that person.

The man in the Taoist robe of straw sandals, wearing the Haoran scarf on his head, and holding a jade bottle in his hand, with a confused expression on his face, is the Ci Hang Taoist among the Twelve Golden Immortals!
When Cihangdao saw the goldfish, he was shocked.

He has clearly isolated this place from the Three Realms with supernatural powers, not to mention a goldfish, even the Da Luo Jinxian would not be able to come in, let alone reach his side.

Ci Hangdao reached out to pick up the goldfish, looked at it carefully for a moment, and found that it was an ordinary goldfish.

Even the wisdom has not been activated!
Just when Ci Hangdao was puzzled, the goldfish jumped out of his palm, fell into the water, and swam freely.

Ci Hangdao was shocked all over, suddenly realized, a smile appeared on his face, and it kept getting bigger.

"Fish swimming in the water does not interfere with the righteousness of the world, and has the sign of liberation. Poor monk...poor monk, no, so what about the monk's Tao! What I seek is nothing more than the Dao, but liberation, so why stick to it!"

"From today onwards, there will be no Cihangdao people in the world, only the West who can see the world at ease!"

Taoist Cihang clasped his hands together and sat cross-legged on the lotus. The clear light on his body gradually dissipated, replaced by streams of Buddha light.

The contours of his face gradually became softer, his facial features became more beautiful, his gender changed from male to female, and his robe of straw sandals changed into a crown and skirt.

"Fuck! It turned out to be like this!"

Li Anran watched all this with a dumbfounded look.

He had already guessed that the reason why Cihangdao people betrayed the teaching and defected to the Western religion was to improve their cultivation and to prove the Dao!
It should also be related to Taoist Randeng!

But I never expected that this would have something to do with the King of Inspiration!
"It's no wonder that Guanyin didn't directly destroy the king of inspiration, it's over!"

Li Anran was still wondering before, Guanyin is not a soft-hearted person, he has already wiped out the entire Tongtian River's aquarium regardless of his image, why didn't he just kill the king of inspiration?
It is only now that I understand it!
This King of Inspiration is not only the key introduction of Avalokitesvara from Dao to Buddha, but also the origin of "Avalokitesvara"!

With such a large cause and effect, Guanyin dare not and will not touch it easily.

After a brief surprise, Li Anran focused his thoughts on the life of the king of inspiration.

After Taoist Cihang became a Buddha, he took the goldfish back to Mount Luojia and kept it in the lotus pond in the purple bamboo forest.

For thousands of years, Guanyin would choose to practice and preach by the lotus pond, and the king of inspiration would float his head to listen to the scriptures every day, and gradually gave birth to spiritual wisdom.

Avalokitesvara takes good care of King Inspiration, and often feeds him some miraculous medicines and rare fruits, including even 9000-year-old flat peaches.

Because of this, although the King of Inspiration was born with extremely poor heels, under the training of the day after tomorrow, his aptitude continued to improve, his cultivation base also increased rapidly, and he successfully broke through to the Golden Immortal Realm.

Until nine years ago, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, as always, preached scriptures and Dharma in the purple bamboo forest with the gods, Mucha, and Dragon Girl.

A monkey broke in suddenly, claiming to have bumped into the Great Immortal Zhenyuan of Wuzhuang Temple in Wanshou Mountain, Hezhou, Xiniu, and damaged the ginseng fruit tree of the Great Immortal Zhenyuan.

This matter had nothing to do with the Inspiration King.

But after Avalokitesvara came back, he retreated for half a month, then called it to his side, passed on a spell to it, and said: "Three days later, there will be a rising tide. You can take this opportunity to go to the mortal world and find Build temples and shrines in one place, collect incense, and help me test this method."

"Remember, you need to be careful in everything, don't make too much noise, and don't let people find out."

Afterwards, Avalokitesvara took down an unopened hanju from the lotus pond, refined it into a nine-petal red copper hammer, and gave it to the king of inspiration as a weapon.

When Avalokitesvara imparted the Dharma, out of prudence, he used his spiritual consciousness to teach it directly. Li Anran didn't know the specific content, but after seeing what happened afterwards, he understood what kind of spell it was!
The king of inspiration left Luojia Mountain for the first time, and he didn't know the way. He followed the tides all the way to Tongtian River, and then came to Chenjiazhuang along the mouth of the sea.

At that time, the Tongtian River often flooded, and the people on both sides of the river were in dire straits.

Tongtianhe water god used this to force the people to build temples for him and offer incense.

After King Inspiration saw it, he imitated the example and killed the water god of Tongtian River, and gained its cave, and became the evil god who threatened the people to sacrifice.

Seeing this, Li Anran was taken aback for a moment.

"The water god of the Tongtian River is dead?! Then who was the old turtle who carried Tang Seng and the others across the Tongtian River and asked Tang Seng to ask him the day of enlightenment?"

Li Anran was in doubt, but the life of the king of inspiration continued to advance.

The king of inspiration has listened to the scriptures every day these years, and he still has a little compassion after all. He only asked Chen Jiazhuang to enshrine a pair of boys and girls every year, so that he would bless Chen Jiazhuang with good weather and a bumper crop. .

Because of this, when Tang monks and apprentices arrived at Chenjiazhuang, they saw that there was only one family in Chenjiazhuang with "four to fifty hectares of paddy fields, seventy hectares of dry fields, eighty or ninety pastures, two or three hundred water cattle, and donkeys." Thirty to twenty horses, countless pigs, sheep, chickens, and geese. There is also old food that cannot be eaten and clothes that cannot be worn under the house."

Even after mistakenly thinking that monkeys and the others were demons, they had the courage to come out and yell, "What kind of demon came to my Shanmen's house in the dark?"

And the king of inspiration wanted this boy and girl just to test the magic that Guanyin taught him!
The physical bodies of boys and girls were eaten by the King of Inspiration, and their souls were refined into pills with the incense offered by their blood relatives!

But the elixir is not in the shape of a bead, but six or seven inches long, with all four limbs and five senses, just like a boy or girl!

Obviously, Guanyin's alchemy method has an inseparable relationship with Zhenyuanzi's ginseng fruit tree!

It should be Guanyin who is healing the ginseng fruit tree...

No, the ginseng fruit tree is the companion spirit root of Zhen Yuanzi, and the monkeys can't even break through the soil where the ginseng fruit tree is planted, let alone push down the ginseng fruit tree!

The idea of ​​the immortals and Buddhas of the Three Realms joining forces to deal with the catastrophe was originally proposed by the Tathagata at the Ullambana meeting.

Zhen Yuanzi not only participated in the Yulan Basin, but also accepted Jin Chanzi's serving of tea.

He should have known about the decision of the Gods and Buddhas of the Three Realms to join forces to deal with the catastrophe, and he also agreed.

The matter of Wuzhuang Temple should be a good show he deliberately staged, just like the four saints who tried Zen mind with the participation of Wudang Madonna.

Not only expressed his support for the joint response to the catastrophe, but also held it high and lightly, indicating that he would not participate in the gambling of Buddhism and Taoism.

Guanyin's treatment of ginseng fruit trees should be just a process, but Guanyin somehow learned something from it.

Only then did the King of Inspiration come down to earth, using the souls of boys and girls to refine pills with the incense of blood relatives.

And this is also the reason why the king of inspiration only wants boys and girls from Chenjiazhuang, and he doesn't allow them to buy boys and girls outside to sacrifice!
It is not a big problem for hundreds of families in Chenjiazhuang to have a pair of boys and girls every year.

Logically speaking, nothing will happen!
However, this time, he chose a family where both brothers were five or sixty years old, but there was only one single seedling.

The monk Tang and his disciples circled seven times and arrived at Chenjiazhuang on the eve of the festival.

This is what comes after.

"Who is plotting Guanyin?"

Li Anran frowned.

Avalokitesvara disregarded his image and undisguisedly confiscated the Tongtianhe Aquarium. Not only was the king of inspiration using the human soul to make alchemy, but more importantly, this method was born out of ginseng fruit!

It can be said that Guanyin has violated a big taboo. If it spreads out, it will not only offend Sizhen Yuanzi, but also ruin his reputation and even Lingshan's reputation!
——I agreed to your proposal and joined hands with you to deal with the catastrophe, but you turned around and poached me?

If word of this spread, who would dare to believe Lingshan?Dare to cooperate with Lingshan?
Li Anran guessed before that it was the Taishang Laojun who led the monkeys to Chenjiazhuang, but now it seems that it is definitely not the case!

If the Taishang Laojun knew about this, he might just come and get all the stolen goods and stab them out!
This is much more of a blow to Buddhism than winning the bet and making Lingshan 500 years later Daxing!
If it wasn't Taishang Laojun, who could it be?
Li Anran suddenly thought of that weird old turtle.

This matter must have something to do with that old turtle!

Li Anran immediately wanted to go to the mortal world to capture the old turtle and take a closer look, but after taking two steps, he stopped again.

This old man or the person behind him can plot against Guanyin, his strength is beyond doubt, and his courage is beyond doubt!

His recklessness came to the door, didn't he deliver food? !

At the same time, Xiniu Hezhou, Tongtianhe.

The four monkeys, master and apprentice, were about to cross the river when they suddenly saw an old turtle floating out of the water.
