Chapter 737

The grand and majestic Cuiyun Palace is located in the north of the underworld. The Cuiyun Palace is resplendent with gold and jade, and the eternal lamp is burning in the Daxiong Palace. It is obviously incompatible with the dim and pitch-black style of the Netherworld.

On the lotus platform in the middle of the main hall, a Bodhisattva sits cross-legged. Wearing a brocade cassock, holding a nine-tin Zen staff. The face is kind and solemn, giving people a feeling of being unattainable and unattainable.

There is a kind of compassion in his eyebrows, as if he has the great merit of saving all living beings, and all living beings can only worship him, as if anyone who dares to oppose him is against the way of heaven.

"That disciple of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven is here." Under the sutra table, the holy beast Diting opened his mouth and spoke in a human voice.

Diting is a psychic beast with a tiger head, a single horn, dog ears, a dragon body, and lion tail and unicorn feet. It is the elf of the heaven and the earth, and all beasts signify things, and it gathers the auspiciousness of all beasts in one body. Also known as the unicorn, good at hearing.

This holy beast is very powerful, and can identify everything in the world by listening. Able to understand Buddhist principles, understand human nature, and avoid evil... It is a descendant of the ancient evil beast Moon Eater Tengu, and its abilities are terrifying.

The magic power of the eclipse tengu does not belong to the whirling world, but a kind of cosmic magic power. It can even swallow the moon, and the sun, moon and stars belong to the universe. Therefore, as the descendant of the lunar eclipse dog, the listening holy beast can receive the information of the universe.

In the past, the six-eared macaque became Sun Wukong, and the Taoist demon mirror could not tell the difference, and the Buddhist Avalokitesvara could not tell the difference... Only when you listen to it, you can understand it. This is the reason.

"He came just in time." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva gently opened his golden lips, and said, "I want to suppress him in the netherworld just like my Buddha Tathagata suppressed Sun Wukong two thousand years ago."

"But... I, Buddha Tathagata, seem to want him to go to the west to get married." Di Ting said.

"Then let Sun Wukong, who fights against the Buddha, come to plead guilty to me in person." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said. Sun Wukong is now in the Buddhist gate. If the Tathagata issues the Buddhist decree, he will definitely come.

In this way, Ksitigarbha greatly humiliated Monkey King. Sun Wukong originally belonged to the Taoist sect, the apprentice of the Taoist ancestor. If he came to plead guilty, both the Taoist sect and the Taoist ancestor would lose face.

"En." Di Ting nodded his head and said, "When I see him later, I will be able to understand the characteristics of all his immortal methods. With assistance from the side, the Bodhisattva will be able to subdue him more easily."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has cultivated for tens of thousands of years, and his Buddhist and supernatural powers have long been perfected, which is not comparable to Xiao Feihui's half-baked Pure Land Sect supernatural powers.

Moreover, the brocade cassock on his body, the tin rod with nine rings in his hand, and the five-grade lotus platform under his feet... are all Buddhist treasures. It can be said that he is fully armed and completely crushes Xiao Fei in terms of magic weapons.

In addition, Di Ting, who knows everything, helped him to see clearly the characteristics of Xiao Fei's supernatural powers and immortality.

They seem to be invincible. But Xiao Fei seems to be sure to lose this battle.

Diting can be said to be the number one holy beast existing in the Three Realms, why is it by the side of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?

...

Ancient India, the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms.

In 600 BC, after years of tribal wars in India, more than 20 scattered countries gradually formed. Among them, there are sixteen major powers: Kasi, Kosala, Yangga, Magadha...

A small country called Gandhara.

In the imperial city, due to years of wars, the streets looked very dilapidated. Among the endless stream of people, the men wore white robes and turbans on their heads, and most of the women wore yellow skirts with nose rings on their noses.

A bald young monk was walking down the street with his hands folded. He has a compassionate face, as if lamenting the hardships of all living beings. At the same time, his appearance is very handsome, which has attracted the attention of many young girls. While walking, look for those in need and give them alms.

Walking in front of a pair of beggar father and daughter, he bowed down and took out his copper coins to them. The beggar father and daughter saw the boundless love in his eyes, and couldn't help saying gratefully: "Thank you, little prince."

"Amitabha!" Monk Junlang recited a Buddha's name.

"Prince Mulian is so handsome!"

"Not only is he handsome, but he also has such a kind heart. Whoever wants to be his concubine must be blessed by several lifetimes of cultivation."

"But I heard that he has practiced Buddhism since he was a child, and he has already cut off all emotions and desires, and will not marry a wife."

"What a pity."

On the streets on both sides, the girls were discussing in low voices. Look at Prince Mulian's eyes, they are shining.

This young monk's name is Mulian. He is the little prince of Gandhara, not only handsome, but also very filial to his mother. But it's a pity that he has a good Buddha nature and doesn't get close to women.

And he seemed to know that he was born for the Buddha. It was the reincarnation of a god from the Buddhist world, who came to India to pass on the Dharma. So after being sensible, I started to eat fast and chant Buddha, and the six sense organs were pure.

The princess of Gandhara, the mother of Prince Mulian, is called Hadiya. He looks very coquettish and beautiful, and he is not Indian. It was the king who was out hunting one day and accidentally found and brought her back.

Princess Hadiya also loves her son very much and is troubled by his not getting married.

Inside the palace.

"Princess Qi, Prince Mulian has gone out to give alms again." A court lady reported to Princess Hadiya.

"My son is good at everything, and he is dedicated to the Buddha. After becoming a monk, how can he inherit the throne, marry a wife and have children, and spread across the country." The stunning princess Hadiya said with a frown.

"Princess, if you want to make Prince Mulian return to vulgarity, there is no other way." The maid said.

"What good idea do you have?" asked the princess.

"Didn't Prince Mulian become a monk since he was a child, and he still adheres to fasting and vegetarianism, and never eats meat? Princess, as long as you find a way to make him break the precept and eat meat, he will not be a monk." The maid said.

"En." The princess nodded, thought for a while and said, "Mulian became a monk in the Mulian Temple since he was a child, and he is a disciple of the royal family there. As long as I let him and all the monks in the temple break it down, he can't be a monk anymore."

"This will definitely prevent Prince Mulian from becoming a monk and allow him to return to vulgarity," said the maid.

"How about this, you hurry up and let the imperial dining room prepare 360 ​​dog meat buns. Then inform the abbot of Mulian Temple that I will go to give alms tomorrow." The princess said: "I gave them alms, forgive them if they don't dare not eat .”

"Yes, my concubine." The maid respectfully took the order and left.

It is said that Mulian, who was giving alms on the street, suddenly felt what his mother was going to do when his heart moved. Hastily returned to the Mulian Temple, and then notified the host. Ask the host to prepare 360 ​​vegetarian steamed buns, one for each monk, and hide them in the sleeves when the princess gives alms the next day.
