Journey to the West: The Strongest Demon Emperor

Chapter 207 – Tathagata on the banks of the quicksand

At this moment, the fruit position has reached its apex, and Guanyin, who is similar to the Tathagata Buddha, is sitting quietly on the lotus platform, and his thoughts are plunged into memories.

Guanyin remembered that she was in the illusion of bliss. She married Qin Ming and always accompanied Qin Ming. He remembered Qin Ming’s love for her, and remembered what she thought was a burden, and thought she didn’t need it. Finally But her unforgettable taste of love.

Then, Guanyin also remembered the vow she made when she looked at Qin Ming and vowed: “I swear to my Zen mind, if you can really recite that scripture, no, even if it’s the same as my Buddhist scripture. The text is equivalent to the scriptures, so even if I rebel against Buddhism, how about serving you all my life!”

The sound of the oath came to my mind at this moment, as if it were in my ears.

After that, Qin Ming recited to her the scripture which she was able to prove.

Thinking about it at this moment, it was not bad.

“If I had never been sealed and had the scripture, I would have become a Buddha! But, did I realize this scripture by myself, or did I remember what he said in retrospect?”

At this moment, Guanyin was a little confused.

“In any case, I always owe him! Losing my memory, I have been embarrassed by him all the time, and I don’t know how he will look at me after that, whether he will look down on me!”

After a while, Guanyin thought in his heart.

“Regardless of those, find a chance to compensate with him in the future, I hope he won’t blame me! At this moment, I have become a Buddha, no one can seal my memory again, and his figure is branded with my method of proving the Dao. In my heart, as long as I don’t fall, I will never forget him again!”

Guanyin recalled the constant and chaotic relationship with Qin Ming, and the starry eyes were full of tenderness.

Tathagata only thinks that Guanyin becomes a Buddha, and his fruit status is stable. When he is confident to overcome his own emotions and cut off the seven emotions and six desires, but does not want to, Qin Ming’s intervention in Guanyin’s heart is so ingenious that once Guanyin becomes a Buddha, he can no longer forget it.

“Venerable Avalokitesvara can be here? Lingji bring me the Buddha and the decree to see you!”

Just as Guanyin was thinking about it, the voice of Lingji Bodhisattva outside Chaoyin Cave rang.

“Venerable, please come in!”

After hearing the sound of Guanyin, he quickly put away the emotions on his face, and restored his holy and dignified appearance.

Before Guanyin became a Buddha, although his status was higher than that of Lingji, he was a bodhisattva like Lingji’s fruit status, so he said to Lingji politely.

Lingji Bodhisattva heard the words and entered the Chaoyin Cave. Guanyin got up from the lotus platform and walked down to greet him.

“Buddha Guanyin doesn’t have to be like this! Lingji just came to convey the Buddha’s decree by my Buddha Tathagata’s order.”

Lingji Bodhisattva, seeing Guanyin, who has become a Buddha, came to welcome him, and said quickly flattered.

“Lingji Bodhisattva joked, although I have attained the Buddha status, but my Buddha Tathagata has not been officially canonized, but I am not called the Buddha!”

Guanyin listened to Lingji Bodhisattva’s words and returned with a smile.

“Buddha Avalokitesvara does not need to be humble. Now that you have become a Buddha, the title is only a matter of time! But I don’t know when I will be able to overcome the barrier!”

Lingji heard the words of Guanyin, only when Guanyin’s face was tender, waved his hand and said to her.

At the same time Lingji Bodhisattva looked at Avalokitesvara, feeling a lot in his heart. The two are both Bodhisattvas, Guanyin has already attained the Tao and Buddhahood, but he is still suffering in the bodhisattva status, with no clue in his mind, and he does not know when he can achieve his ambition.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Guanyin listened to Lingji’s words, but did not speak. Everyone has their own way. This can only rely on themselves. Very few outsiders can help, of course, except for the person in her heart.

At this time, Lingji was in a good mood and looked at Guanyin and said: “This time, I brought my Buddha’s will, and I would like to ask Guanyin Bodhisattva to take a look!”

Seeing this, Guanyin accepted the imperial decree, and saw that the Buddha’s decree read: “Tathagata wishes Venerable Avalokitesvara to become a Buddha and become an ancestor!”

When Guan Yin saw this sentence, he smiled indifferently, no matter how the Tathagata had treated her, at least, it was an affirmation of her.

Just after reading the words behind, Guanyin couldn’t laugh. Guanyin had never thought that she would become a confession.

I saw at the end of the decree it read: Venerable Guanyin, including Venerable Mahayana Buddhism, including Manjusri, Samantabhadra, and Ksitigarbha, the four great bodhisattvas are well-known in the world and are widely known. Therefore, I decided that Mahayana Buddhism will not be available for the time being. The canonization recognizes the Buddha’s status of the Venerable, and I hope that the Venerable can know my pains!

Guanyin couldn’t think that the Tathagata had cut off her path to becoming a Buddha and an ancestor for such a reason, and still let herself live under it and wait for his dispatch.

“Venerable Samantabhadra, I am a little tired, forgive me for not being sent away, I hope to forgive me!”

After reading the will, Guanyin directly ordered Fuxian to chase off his guests.

“So, Fuxian retire!”

When Fuxian heard the words, his face was dumbfounded, and he stepped out. He couldn’t figure out how this Guanyin’s expression changed.

“Haha, is this the so-called Buddha?”

At this moment, Guanyin remembered what Qin Ming said to her.

The Tathagata did this for his reasons. All this is for his Mahayana Buddhism!

The four Bodhisattvas of Mahayana Buddhism represent the four concepts of Mahayana Buddhism. Manjushri represents wisdom and wisdom, Samantabhadra represents Bodhisattva’s vows, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva represents a symbol of great vows. And Guanyin Bodhisattva walks in the world, replacing Mahayana Buddhism’s symbol of compassion in the world!

How could the Tathagata let Guanyin out of his control! That way, Mahayana Buddhism will suffer a huge blow.

However, the Tathagata never thought that Guanyin actually opened up his own way, so he deliberately laid down the Buddha’s decree to explain it.

In fact, Buddhism is not a pure land. There are many factions and disputes.

The Maitreya Buddha is a school of its own, not of Mahayana Buddhism! The ancient burning lamp Buddha is a school of its own! The quasi-tide Taoist, Na Subhuti Patriarch, has merged the Buddha and Tao and formed a school of its own!

Although these people have the same status as the Tathagata, their power has long been emptied by the Tathagata!

The Tathagata has the sole authority, and absolutely does not allow other voices to appear in Mahayana Buddhism. Just like his two disciples Jin Chanzi, he did his own thing and was out of his control, so he was ordered to reincarnate with his arrogance!

Avalokitesvara had a breakthrough in her Attainment status, she knew the Tathagata’s calculations for her, and received the Tathagata’s unreasonable Buddhist decree. At this moment, in her heart, she had a new perspective on the Buddha Tathagata who had always respected her.

Regardless of how Guanyin’s mood is, Qin Ming and Tang Seng mentors and apprentices, after getting rid of their difficulties, within a day, they traveled through 800 Huangfengling Mountains, but they were in the same place as the land of Pingyang when they entered the west.

The time was rapid, through summer and autumn, I saw some chilly cicadas and the willows, and the fire was flowing westward.

When several people were walking, they saw a big wave of water and muddy waves.

Tang Seng looked at it immediately and hurriedly shouted: “Apprentice, look at the vast water in front of you, why don’t you see the boats walking, where do we go by?”

When Zhu Bajie saw it, he also replied, “Sure enough, there is no boat to cross.”

When Qin Ming heard the words, he jumped in the air and watched with his hands in front of his eyes. He was also a little surprised: “Master, it’s really difficult, really difficult! If this river is going to be saved by the grandson, you just have to twist your waist , It passed. If Master wants to pass, he needs the boat to move slowly.”

However, Qin Ming said, looking at this river, he was a little familiar.

At this time, Tang Seng said: “I see the river is endless, and I don’t know how wide it is?”

Qin Ming heard this and said, “It’s about eight hundred miles away.”

Hearing the words, Zhu Bajie said in confusion: “Big brother, how do you know the distance?”

Qin Ming said with a smile upon hearing the words: “With my eyes, I can see the good and bad things on the road of thousands of miles. The length of this river does not know how far, but the width of this river is eight hundred miles, only a lot more.”

Tang Seng heard the words and said, “There is no ship, it seems that this moment, but it can’t get through!”

So, Xiao Hei went back to the horse, planning to find a place to rest.

But there was a stele on the shore.

When several people saw this, they all looked together and saw that there were three seal characters on the stele, which was Liushahe.

On the lower corner of the stele, there are small four-line black letters that read: Eight hundred quicksand circles, three thousand weak water depths. The goose feathers can’t float, but the reed flowers sink to the bottom.
