I, the son of Yang Guo, abducted Zhang Sanfeng across the heavens

Chapter 495 It turns out to be you, the Tathagata of the Great Sun in the Wind and Cloud World
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. You two should worship Hou Tu first." After Yang Gui finished speaking, Sun Wukong stood up and joined Ksitigarbha. They laid out a case in front of Hou Tu, cut off the chicken head and burned it on yellow paper, and placed three animals, melons and fruits on it. , looking at the back soil, he kowtows.

"My dear old lady..."

"boom!"

Before he could finish his words, Sun Wukong was knocked out by a strong force, directly out of the realm of the underworld, and disappeared into a shining star in the sky.

His voice was still echoing in the air: "Brother Ksitigarbha, remember our sworn brotherhood. If you worship me again later, our sworn bond will be considered successful!"

Hou Tu retracted his fist and stared at Ji Zang with unkind eyes. Ji Zang squatted aside decisively and sincerely, trembling.

"Hmph, this wild monkey is so annoying, just like some saints." Hou Tu said angrily from the side.

"That's not good, I taught you that!"

Yang Gui not only didn't take it seriously, but admitted it directly, "Oh, this shows that my disciple is very talented. My disciple Wukong has the appearance of a saint! I unilaterally named him the grandson of Zixiao Palace. In the future, when I get tired, I will pass on the control of the way of heaven to him.”

What can Hou Tu say? This guy can convey the power of heaven as easily as he can bring some food to his neighbors. Thinking back to the time when Teacher Hongjun was like a rogue, he deceived the three saints of Sanqing into taking poisonous pills and then threatened them. It can only be said that those who are capable of being righteous are somewhat abnormal.

"Okay, take your leave!"

"That's it. In that case, let's go back to our respective homes. Tathagata Buddha, you can handle your affairs in the West by yourself, and I won't care about it. Empress Houtu, Saint Styx, you two should remember this, no matter what How to do it, do not affect the four major continents, and do not affect the movement of heaven, otherwise I will take back your holy throne."

Hou Tu snorted and said: "Don't worry, I only go out to enjoy the mountains and rivers. I haven't gone out for many years to see the scenery of the four continents today."

As an authentic saint, Hou Tu has a unique way of traveling. If he crosses the reincarnation in one step, he will be transported to nowhere. Even Yang Gui will not know her whereabouts if he does not calculate the path of heaven.

"Thanks to Daozu and you." Tathagata said with a smile. His life was truly worthwhile. He was in the East when the West was barren, and a few days later the West prospered. He went to the West again and became the leader of Buddhism. It can be said that all good things happened to him.

But now that we have Ksitigarbha, who is also the Three Corpse Quasi-Saint, under his leadership, the scene will definitely be beautiful.

"What are you two doing?" Yang Gui glanced at the two Buddhas. It couldn't be that he felt that he had lost face and planned to ambush him and kick him, right?

For the two Buddhas in the West, Yang Gui's words were actually quite hurtful. They made it clear that the two quasi-sages could not cause any trouble, and they were not worthy of his personal attention. But there is no way. There are five people present now, and there are even more saints than quasi-sages. What do they dare to say? We can only leave first.

Seeing this, Tathagata and Ksitigarbha looked at each other, feeling something bad in their hearts. This lunatic is so excited, doesn't he want to stew the animals on Lingshan Mountain?
But there was no way, the invitation was sent out by them on their own initiative. The reason is that Ksitigarbha is also a quasi-sage of three corpses. Tathagata was afraid that he could not suppress him, so he asked Yang Gui for support. Now if he wants to regret it, it is too late.

Wouldn't it be nice to go around Lingshan Mountain and see the Great Leiyin Temple, and by the way, mock those disciples of the Second Sect of Chanjie, and then encourage the original disciples of the Western Sect to cause trouble for the Tathagata?
Now it is no longer the situation in the original work where the Tathagata alone controls the Western Heaven. The former deputy leader of the Chan Sect, Ran Deng, and the Western Sect's personal disciple, Maitreya, should be less than the Three Corpses Quasi-Saints. Otherwise, the Tathagata would not be able to control one end, and even the original Avalokitesvara, who was born in Chan religion, has become a Tathagata die-hard.

"It's really rich." Yang Gui looked at Lingshan and couldn't help but praise. Although he had not been to the Western Heaven before, it is conceivable that the great battle between Demon Ancestor Luohu and Dao Ancestor Hongjun interrupted the aura of the earth's veins, making the West so barren that Zhunti could not help the two saints.

Not to mention that Xiniu Hezhou is also home to Fangcun Mountain and Wanshou Mountain.

"Uncle Master, as the commander-in-chief of the Western Heaven for Buddhist scriptures, you have never been to the Western Heaven. Now that Ksitigarbha has become a Buddha, we would like to take this opportunity to ask you to come to the Western Heaven and guide the work." Tathagata clasped his hands together and turned to Yang Gui bowed down and said.

"That's okay." Yang Gui thought for a while, it was still early to start studying for scriptures in the West. Anyway, there was nothing to do in Heaven. Lao Zhang was still in seclusion to attack Hunyuan. He could only go to Beiju Luzhou to play with the remnants of the demon clan. Son, now that I think about it, it would be nice to go to the West.

The three of them were all top experts, and they arrived at the Western Heaven from the entrance to the underworld in an instant. A spiritual mountain stands tall and towering, as if it carries the destiny of the entire Xiniu Hezhou.

But in the Western Continent before, the two true saints lived there all year round, but they didn't have any spiritual energy. It can be seen that things have changed a lot.

Styx remained in the core of the underworld and continued to be imprisoned.

Thinking of this, Yang Gui became excited, "Let's go, let's go together, let's go together, let me enjoy some of your fast meals."

Styx was even more delighted when he was newly promoted to the holy position. He has been living in the sea of ​​blood all year round, so it would be no different for him to go to jail in another place. He happily raised his hand to Yang Gui and said, "Don't worry, Director Yang, I will be careful in my words and deeds to maintain integrity."

But looking at this spiritual mountain now, the spiritual energy is even stronger than the so-called Huaguo Mountain with the Ancestral Lineage of Ten Continents and the Dragon from Three Islands. Naturally, mountains are not high, but immortals are famous. There is a large group of quasi-sages living on this Lingshan Mountain all year round, so it is reasonable that it is stronger than Huaguo Mountain.

Yang Gui's soul was flying, wandering towards the entrance of the underworld, and took the normal road home. But unexpectedly, as soon as they came out of the netherworld, they saw two big bald heads, shining brightly in the sun.

"Uncle, please invite me." Ksitigarbha is also an orthodox Western religious saint, so he naturally calls Yang Gui "Uncle." He stretched out his hand to guide Yang Gui and walked towards Daleiyin Temple.

"You are not so attentive. Do you know where the door of Dayei Temple opens?" Tathagata looked at Ksitigarbha's dog-legged behavior and couldn't help but cursed secretly. But what he said was also true. Ever since he established the Great Leiyin Temple and practiced Mahayana Buddhism, Ksitigarbha has never returned to the underworld. He is not the master of the Leiyin Temple.

Although he was cursing in his heart, he was not slow at all and quickly followed the pace of the two of them.

When they arrived at the Great Leiyin Temple, Tathagata wanted Yang Gui to sit on the main seat, but he didn't want to play the role of a monk at all, so he picked a futon on the side and sat down. Tathagata could only express his shame, sat on the lotus pedestal, and knocked on the throne. The bell rang.

"Everyone from Xitian Buddhism is having a meeting at Daleiyin Temple, come quickly!"

A summons, accompanied by the ripples of the bell and the golden Buddha light, was transmitted far away.

After a while, many people came. First there are those with low status, such as Jialan, Gongcao, Dingjia, Great God, Bhikkhu, Upasika and Jieyi, followed by Arhats and holy monks.

These people have a lower status, their Buddhist practice is not deep, and they are not qualified to open an independent dojo. They usually live on Lingshan Mountain, and many even live in the Great Leiyin Temple. They are closest and the fastest to come. Ksitigarbha was standing next to him, snatching away Tathagata's work, and like a henchman, he enthusiastically introduced their establishment in Xitian to Yang Gui.

"Why are the ranks of the great gods so high?" Yang Gui only knew about the levels of Buddhism: Buddha, Bodhisattva, and Arhat. These were the first three levels, but he didn't know anything about the following levels.

Now after listening to Ksitigarbha's introduction, I realized that those just listed were arranged in order from low to high. The position of the great god is even fourth from the bottom, not counting those non-Buddhist establishments such as the land of mountain gods.

Thinking about it this way, after the bear monster who stole the cassock was subdued by Guanyin, he was given a job as a mountain guardian, which can be said to be quite preferential treatment. To treat a wild monster with such preferential treatment, it is no wonder that Guanyin is so popular in Buddhism.

But it is normal to think about it. In the original work, the bear monster fought with Sun Wukong for more than ten rounds without deciding the outcome. In order to subdue it, Guanyin gave the bear the three golden hoops of gold, tightness and ban that he had embezzled from Tathagata. The monster used a restraint. With such a huge sunk cost, something must be recovered.

But of course, everyone knows that Guanyin is generous to her subordinates. After defecting to the West, Muzha jumped from Samantabhadra to Guanyin. Guanyin immediately secured him a position as an Arhat, and this became the well-known Hui'an Walker.

You must know that Arhat is the second highest rank in Buddhism after Bodhisattva. Saint Monk is considered to be a half-level. If you have to use metaphors, it is similar to Arhat Dzogchen and Half-step Bodhisattva.

Speaking of this holy monk, Yang Gui only found out after listening to Ksitigarbha's introduction that co-authorship was not just an honorific title for a monk who came from the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty, but was actually a serious Buddhist organization. It is the so-called attainment of fruition.

There are four fruition levels in the Sravakayana, from lowest to highest, namely Sotapanna, Stragama, Anagami and Arahant. Only those who achieve the superior fruition status among these can be called holy monks.

From this point of view, it is reasonable that Jin Chanzi himself is the top among the Arhats, a half-step Bodhisattva. He traveled to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, and due to his meritorious deeds, he was granted the lowest seat of Buddha in the future.

Then with the arrival of Lingji Bodhisattva from Xiaoxumi Mountain next to Lingshan Mountain, it was the beginning of the arrival of the Bodhisattva. Bodhisattvas arrived one after another, and then the Buddhas also began to enter.

It is worth mentioning that Guanyin Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, and Manjushri Bodhisattva, the three top bodhisattvas who enjoy deputy Buddha-level treatment, even came half way through the entrance of the Buddha.

"Your Buddhist sect is quite hierarchical." Yang Gui sat on the futon and said to Ksitigarbha with a smile: "Your three equal Bodhisattvas must enter after the ordinary Buddhas."

"As for the four great Bodhisattvas, status is important." Ksitigarbha's reaction was actually quite surprising.

Ksitigarbha is an old man in the Western sect, and many old members of the Chanjie sect are also friends with him. At this time, he became a Buddha and became a quasi-sage with three corpses. Countless people came up to greet him and get close to him. But no matter who comes up, as soon as Yang Gui opens his mouth, Ksitigarbha will respond to Yang Gui as carefully as a boy, and the person on the other side will be ignored.

This makes many Buddhists wonder, who is this guy wearing a turtle shell?

Until the end, Maitreya, the Glazed Medicine Master and other Buddhas who were truly equal to the Tathagata also came one by one. Even the Tathagata showed a sign of "everyone is here" on his face and greeted these people with a smile.

"Almost everyone is here, Uncle Master." The Tathagata stood up from the lotus platform of the Ninth Grade Golden Lotus and saluted Yang Gui: "In addition to receiving the incarnation of the Master's Uncle, the Light King Buddha, there are also the Deng Deng Buddha and the King of Light. Lujana Buddha...oh, here he comes!"

As Tathagata was talking, he saw two shining golden Buddhas arriving at the entrance of the Great Thunder Sound Temple.

"What kind of Buddha is Vairochana? Do you still have such a Buddha at the level of a true Buddha?"

Yang Gui once studied the essence of Buddhism for the ancient Bodhi tree in Douqi Continent, but what he and Zhang Sanfeng, two Taoist priests, wanted to study were Buddhism, not the Buddha's system, which direction to worship which Buddha, so they were not interested in this kind of Taoist priests. The obviously Tianzhu-style name is still a bit confusing.

"Randeng Buddha, you know that the deputy leader of the teachings at that time, Vairocana Buddha, later when I was studying Mahayana Buddhism, I added a Chinese translation to him and called him -"

"The Great Sun Tathagata."

Before Tathagata Buddha could say anything, Yang Gui had already taken over. With his eyesight, even if the two Buddhas in front of him are covered by the Buddha's light, he can easily see their true appearance behind the Buddha's light. He didn't recognize Ran Deng, but he was too familiar with the person standing next to Ran Deng.

"Oh it's you."

"It turns out that Uncle Master has known the Great Sun Tathagata for a long time, but this..." Halfway through the Tathagata's words, he suddenly felt something was wrong with the atmosphere around Yang Gui. When the saint was angry, even he, the Buddha of the West, felt extremely frightened in his heart.

Tathagata cautiously asked tentatively: "Yes... we know each other, right?"

"We know each other, we know each other so well." Yang Gui's voice was a little vague, and the smile on his face also had some unexplainable meaning, "This Great Sun Tathagata Buddha has profound Buddhist teachings. He even gave me a Buddha palm back then. , which helped me a lot when I was weak.”

Yes, the face of the Great Sun Tathagata in front of me is exactly the Great Sun Tathagata observing the earth in the universe in the world of wind and cloud.

Throughout Yang Gui's journey, he had rarely made any deep hatred against anyone, because it was usually he who made people hate him. Even if he occasionally misses Pei San, he will soon find his place again.

Only for this Great Sun Tathagata, Yang Gui and him could be said to have hatred for one day, two places, three rivers and four seas.

If he hadn't insisted on capturing the two of them for research and were blown unconscious by the Broken Buddha's Palm, Yang Gui and Zhang Sanfeng would not have been almost eaten by Shura beasts without any intelligence in the Shura Realm of the Zhuxian World.

It was almost, just almost. Zhang Sanfeng was even dead, and his lower body was eaten. If Yang Gui didn't like to carry a turtle shell on his back to save his own life, then he would have a chance to escape and resurrect the two of them, otherwise he would really die in the Shura world.

"Is it you!?" Obviously, the Great Sun Tathagata still has fresh memories of the enemy who cut off one of his palms. After all, it was Hongjun's power that cut off it. He still only has one hand.

"Death to Lord Buddha!"

The Great Sun Tathagata roared angrily, and the Buddha's light burst out and rushed towards the lotus platform.
