Martial Arts: Immortality Begins from The Deer and the Cauldron

Chapter 891 Mission, Half of Guanyin

"Catch the half-cut Guanyin demon who stole the candles in front of the Lingshan Buddha? This mission... is weird!"

Qin Ran knew the name "Half Guanyin".

That sister was a golden-nosed white-haired rat who became a fairy. She was also a bold fairy who stole the fragrant flowers and candles of the Tathagata in Lingshan.

The fragrant flowers and precious candles of Lingshan Tathagata are certainly not ordinary objects. After eating it secretly, the demon's magic power greatly increased. He called himself "Half Guanyin" and boasted that his magic power was half that of Guanyin Bodhisattva, one of the four great Bodhisattvas under the Tathagata. Isn't that powerful?
  Very awesome!

Avalokitesvara is a veteran golden immortal who practices both Buddhism and Taoism. With half the magic power of Guanyin, he can be regarded as the number one figure in the Three Realms.

The half-cut Guanyin witch was wanted by Lingshan after stealing Tathagata's incense, flowers and candles, and was later captured by Li Jing and Nezha's troops.

In other words, the task of arresting Guanyin was originally supposed to be Li Jing's. Now this task fell to Qin Ran.

On the surface, there are no problems with this arrest mission.

The Jade Emperor set up the position of Emperor of the West to recruit strong men, who would be responsible for fighting and killing, and to restore the majesty of heaven.

But the problem is that the person who suffered in this matter is Tathagata Buddha.

Tathagata, as the Buddha's World Honored One, has many powerful men under his command. His home has been burgled. Is it necessary to report the crime to Heaven and ask for help from Heaven to arrest him?
  "The Buddhist sect has no followers, so it turns to Heaven for help... Wouldn't it mean that it would increase Heaven's ambition and destroy its own prestige?"

Qin Ran thought to himself: "This is not in line with the usual style of Buddhism. Buddhism is used to making things in the limelight... When Sun Wukong made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, he suppressed the Heavenly Palace and increased the prestige of Buddhism... During the Journey to the West, it was the most powerful Some of the demons were subdued by Buddhist Bodhisattvas and even the Buddha himself."

If Li Jing were to take part in the arrest of Guanyin, it would be another matter. He is a registered disciple of Ran Deng and has a close relationship with Buddhism. He came forward to arrest half of Guanyin, but he will not gain the prestige in heaven.

But if Qin Ran, the newly minted Emperor of the West, had accomplished this, the consequences would be completely different. Not only can it further consolidate Qin Ran's position, but it can also bring out the Jade Emperor's keen eyesight and knowledge of people. It can also reflect the incompetence of Buddhism - he can't even handle a female snitch, and he still needs the Emperor of Heaven to intervene. Buddhism is too incompetent, right?

"No matter how you look at this matter, it is detrimental to the reputation of Buddhism and inconsistent with Buddhism's consistent style. Therefore, there must be something fishy in it!"

Qin Ran was sure that the matter was not as simple as it seemed.

The arrest mission was sent by the Jade Emperor.

Of course, the Jade Emperor will not have any problems, but with the Jade Emperor's cultivation and scheming, he can definitely figure it out. This matter is not simple.

However, the Jade Emperor did not give any hint to Qin Ran.

"A test?"

Qin Ran's eyes were deep: "Sun Wukong made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, disgraced the Heavenly Palace, and made Buddhism a big success. In addition to reviving the reputation of the Heavenly Palace, the Jade Emperor's purpose in selecting the Emperor of the West should also be to compete with Buddhism... This task , this is the Jade Emperor’s test for me!”

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and a faint smile appeared: "After being worshiped by heaven and enjoying the power of emperor, you must fulfill your obligations... There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Forget it, just go and complete this. Mission, by the way, let’s see what Buddhism’s plans are…”

……

Hezhou, Xiniu, is trapped in an empty mountain and has a bottomless pit.

In the cave, a woman in white who calls herself "Half Guanyin" and is dressed exactly like Guanyin Bodhisattva looks nervously at the beauty in white opposite her. The beauty in white is standing on a lotus platform, holding a pure vase in her hand, and behind her head is a golden wheel of Buddha's light, which is sacred and solemn. There was a smile on her lips, and her brows and eyes were filled with compassion.

It is the Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Guanshiyin Bodhisattva.

The half-cut Guanyin was blocked by the genuine Guanyin!

The half-cut Guanyin stared at Guanyin Bodhisattva without blinking, her pretty face turned slightly white, her lips were completely bloodless, and her delicate body was trembling slightly.

The moment of confrontation with the genuine Guanyin had already made her so nervous that she almost suffocated.

Although she boasts of being "half-cut Guanyin", this enchantress knows that there is a world of difference between herself and the genuine Guanyin. Once Guanyin takes action, she can't even take a single move.

She couldn't even escape even if she wanted to. Even though Guanyin looked smiling and benevolent, her powerful and boundless spiritual thoughts had already enveloped her, firmly locking her body and even her soul. If she makes any move, she will be struck by thunder.

And Guanyin Bodhisattva's full blow... even the average golden immortal can't withstand it! Although she boasts that she has half the magic power of Guanyin, in fact she is only in the third level of the True Immortal Realm...

"One of the four great Bodhisattvas actually went out in person to deal with a little thief like me... Where did this start?" Guanyin said to herself in panic: "When I went to Lingshan to steal things, I must not have read the almanac. I made mistakes. It’s been a long time…”

Just when he was feeling uneasy, Guanyin said leisurely: "Don't panic, this poor monk is not here to conquer demons."

Guanyin half laughed and said: "Bodhisattva, don't joke. The little demon knows that his sins are serious. I just ask Bodhisattva to give the little demon a chance to change his ways..."

Avalokitesvara said softly: "Buddhism is vast and can save all living beings. The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, but you can always turn around. If you want to make a new start, how come the poor monk won't give you a chance? As long as you convert to Buddhism and complete a task, steal the incense flowers and candles from the Buddha." If things happen, let things be bygones. Not only will the consequences of your sins not be held accountable, you will also have the opportunity to achieve the true fruition of Bodhi..."

Half of Guanyin's heart moved and she said, "I wonder what mission the Bodhisattva has that he wants to entrust to the little demon to complete?"

A strange smile appeared in Guanyin Bodhisattva's eyes: "I will grant you a method to rejoice as a concubine."

According to the Buddhist scripture "Four Parts of Vinayaka Dharma", Emperor Mahavatar has an unruly temperament. Guanyin Bodhisattva transforms into a beautiful woman, throws himself into his arms, gives alms with his body, and uses joyful Zen skills to train Emperor Mahavatar into a Buddhist protector...

……

Because he suspected that there was something strange about the arrest of half of Guanyin, Qin Ran neither ordered any troops nor led any generals. He left the Nantianmen alone and went down to the world in the direction of Xiankong Mountain.

In the Lingxiao Palace, the clairvoyant reported what he saw to the Jade Emperor: "Your Majesty, the Emperor of the West has descended to earth alone without any soldiers!"

The Jade Emperor's expression remained unchanged, and his eyes remained calm. He looked at an old immortal with white hair and beard sitting below him, and said calmly: "Taibai Qing, what do you think?"

The old immortal with white beard and hair was none other than Li Changgeng, Taibai Jinxing, the Jade Emperor's confidant, who took many scapegoats for the Jade Emperor.

For example, the two recruitments of Sun Wukong were apparently initiated by Taibai Jinxing, but in fact they were sharing the pressure on the Jade Emperor.

After all, Sun Wukong was recruited twice but had no good results. As a result, the Jade Emperor's reputation as a fool spread throughout the three realms. However, before people talk about the Jade Emperor's weakness, they will first say: Your Majesty has been deceived by a treacherous minister.

That treacherous minister was naturally Taibai Jinxing, who twice suggested recruiting him.
