Journey to the West: The poor monk Bodhidharma, the supreme Buddhist and Taoist

Chapter 21 Nanbuzhou, the five demons are in chaos!
As soon as this remark came out, the audience was stunned.

Dozens of pairs of eyes in the arena all looked at Bodhidharma in unison.

His eyes were full of surprise and shock.

"This monk... so brave, he dared to question the Buddha face to face!"

You know, the Tathagata Buddha is the big boss who dominates Xiniu Hezhou.

If it were an ordinary Buddhist disciple, in front of the Buddha, let alone questioning, he would not even be able to straighten his tongue when speaking.

And these mortals, under the protection of the gods and Buddhas in the sky, exist like ants.

Weak as they are, how dare they question gods, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas easily.

A charge of blasphemy is enough to make them forever!
Apart from being in awe, how dare you resist!
Unexpectedly, the young monk in front of him was so unafraid of death.

"Zen Master..."

Su Tianxin looked at Bodhidharma with even more admiration in her heart.

As a bystander, she also faintly felt that it was really unfair for Tathagata to handle this matter.

In a few words, these weak and ignorant ordinary people were dismissed.

As for his fault of lax discipline, he never mentioned it at all.

By the way, I also harvested a wave of believers!
All the scapegoats are thrown to others, but she is as white as a lotus flower.

However, sadly, no one dared to stand up except Bodhidharma.

Caring for all sentient beings, not afraid of power!
This is the real Buddhist monk!
In Su Tianxin's eyes, Bodhidharma's image became more and more stalwart.

Hearing this, Tathagata didn't expect it either.

Bodhidharma accepted his magic weapon, but instead of obediently shutting up, he questioned himself instead!
My heart frowned slightly.

However, it did not come out in public.

The dignified Buddhist World Honored One, in front of the world, how can he not be as good as a mortal monk!
Thinking of this, Tathagata smiled slightly.

"Evil causes and evil effects, good intentions and good conditions, and all things are related to dharmas, all are like this!"

"For example, if you go to Nanfang Buzhou this time, if his merits and virtues are perfect, you will also become a Buddha and sit on the lotus platform!"

Before leaving the teacher, he promised to go to Lingshan Buddha.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is already a great gift, enough to buy people's hearts.

Unexpectedly, Dharma shook his head.

"World Honored One, the disciple is not asking about his own merits!"

Dharma pointed to the crowd not far away.

"These mortals were trapped by the poisonous fire ghost king, suffered from this misfortune, and even lost their heads. I ask the World Honored One to be the master for them!"

After listening to Bodhidharma's words, everyone at the scene suddenly realized.

It turned out that the reason why Bodhidharma questioned the Tathagata Buddha was entirely to fight for them.

What is a holy monk?

Relieve all beings in danger, and release the injustice of the world!
Instead of just hiding in the temple all day, chanting scriptures and ringing the bell to knock on the wooden fish!

All of a sudden, eyes full of gratitude turned to Bodhidharma one after another.

"You mortals, who suffer this misfortune today, are all due to unfinished karma in the previous life, and will have this retribution in the next life!"

"Now, only with the power of my Buddha's vows, I can completely eliminate your previous karma. From now on, there will be more celebrations in the family of good deeds!"

In the void, the voice of Tathagata resounded.

Immediately.

The light of Wan Dao Sandalwood Buddha shone on everyone like the warm sun in winter.

Everyone felt that their whole body suddenly became incomparably relaxed, and all their pains and diseases were eliminated in an instant.

And those who died in vain, under the protection of the Buddha's light, entered the nether world and joined the rich and noble family.

"Thank you Buddha! Thank you Buddha!"

Everyone lay down on the ground and kowtowed.

Of course, they knew in their hearts that Bodhidharma had won all this for them.

"Good, good!"

"Disciple Bodhidharma, respectfully send off the World Honored One!"

Dharma bowed and clasped his hands together.

The sky is full of golden light, which suddenly dissipates.

Tathagata has already returned to Daleiyin Temple in Lingshan.

But the people at the scene were still lying on the ground, kowtowing, not daring to get up.

Glancing around, Bodhidharma didn't say much.

Now that the matter here is over, there is no need to stay any longer.

"Amitabha!"

Bodhidharma flicked his sleeves and walked against the wind without looking back.

"Holy monk!"

Seeing that Bodhidharma was several miles away, Su Tianxin shouted from behind and hurriedly followed.

The two are in tandem.

Not long after, they came to the road.

Then Bodhidharma slowed down, turned around and said, "The matter of Huaguang Xingyuan is over, why is Tan Yue still following the poor monk?"

"Is the holy monk really planning to go to Nanfang Buzhou?"

"Not bad!"

"With all due respect, it is definitely not a good opportunity to go to Nanfang Buzhou at this time!"

"Why?"

"Nanbuzhou is in troubled times, and demons are rampant..."

Thinking of Nanfangbuzhou, which has been in chaos for many years, Sutian couldn't help sighing.

However, luck is like this, the way of heaven dictates it, and it can't be reversed by him alone.

"Oh?"

Dharma frowned.

For this world, he only knows a rough idea.

Moreover, it is not traveling around in person, but just a glimpse or two from the classics.

Especially South Africa.

What is recorded in the classics is unclear, and little is known about it.

"Did Tan Yue come from Nanfangbuzhou?"

"Not bad!"

"Please also tell Tanyue in detail!"

Bodhidharma just took this opportunity to inquire about the situation in Nanbuzhou.

Be prepared for everything, so as not to be caught blind by then.

"The holy monk wants to hear it, so of course the little girl knows everything!"

A cunning flashed in her beautiful eyes, and Su Tianxin's conversation changed abruptly.

"However, I have an unfeeling request..."

Before she finished speaking, Bodhidharma seemed to have expected it.

"City of No Tears or the Spring of the Underworld?"

Dharma smiled.

Hearing this, Su Tianxin was stunned for a moment.

"Holy Monk, how do you know?"

Su Tianxin said strangely.

Before that, she had never been to Xiniu Hezhou.

Moreover, I have never met Da Mosu.

How did Bodhidharma know what was urgent in her heart?
"Could it be that the holy monk has already cultivated into a Buddhist heart?"

Thoughts have not changed.

Just listen to Bodhidharma continue: "Eliminate demons, protect the way, and help the common people, poor monks are duty-bound!"

Su Tian was overjoyed, and bowed his knees.

"Thank you Saint Monk for your help!"

Bodhidharma smiled lightly, "Can you speak now?"

"Yes!"

After a pause, Su Tian said seriously, "Does the holy monk know about the battle of conferring gods in ancient times?"

"Know a thing or two!"

"In ancient times, the four major continents were originally one. It was only because of the battle of the Conferred Gods and the battle of the saints that the universe was shattered and the wilderness collapsed. This is how it is now..."

"Ok!"

"Thousands of years later, the avenue evolved, the fortunes were ups and downs, the human race prospered in Nanbubuzhou, Buddhism flourished in Xiniuhezhou, immortals and gods lived in seclusion in Dongshengshenzhou, only this Luzhou in the north..."

"Well... how about Beiju Luzhou?"

"It is said that Beiju Luzhou was originally a prehistoric ancient battlefield, where countless great witches and gods perished, and the flesh and blood left by witches turned into a swamp and dark swamp over the years, forming a miasma that made it difficult for gods and Buddhas to live. Occupied by evildoers..."

"Oh?"

"For thousands of years, my human monks have guarded the junction of the two continents day and night, guarding the luck of the human race, and dare not slack off in the slightest, but something went wrong in the end!"

Speaking of this, before Bodhidharma asked, Su Tianxin smiled bitterly.

A look of helplessness and regret crossed her pretty face.

"Decades ago, the luck of the human race suddenly decreased. The evildoers who originally entrenched in Beiju Luzhou, led by the five great demons of the prehistoric, invaded Nanfangbuzhou wantonly. Although my Xuanmen disciples resisted desperately, in the end... ..."

Su Tianxin let out a long sigh.

Five demons in troubled times?

Bodhidharma's heart moved slightly, and he quickly reacted.

"What's the current situation in South Africa?"

Dharma asked.

Although he was reborn in Hezhou, Xiniu, in his heart, Nanbuzhou is his hometown.

If not, he might not regard Nanbuzhou as a place of experience.

"The remnants of evil still exist, and the world is in chaos!"

"The remnants?" Bodhidharma asked in surprise, "With the power of the Taoist sect in the world, can you kill the great monster of the wild?"

"Of course not, the Taoist sect in the world has limited power after all!"

"So there are still gods to help?"

"Correct!"

Just when Taoism in the world is about to be destroyed.

The Nine Heavens responded to Yuan's thunder and generalized Tianzun to descend a ray of soul and turned into Wu Mourning Heavenly King, and only then did he help the world and turn the tide.

However, Nanfang Buzhou has been severely damaged since then.

It has not yet been recovered.

But Bodhidharma can still feel that Su Tianxin seems to have something hard to say, and he hesitates to speak.

This must involve the secrets of Taoism, which is not enough for outsiders.

Otherwise, Nanfangbuzhou is a place where the luck of the human race gathers, and with the blessing of Taoism, how can evildoers easily invade?

Since Su Tianxin didn't want to mention it, he stopped asking.

"Tan Yue is in Nanfang Buzhou, why did he travel thousands of miles to Xiniu Hezhou?"

"I came all the way to follow the City of No Tears!"

"Has the City Without Tears come back to life?"

"Not bad!"

Bodhidharma pondered for a while, and said, "Since the City of No Tears has been revived, how can you track it down?"

"Ganjiang Sword! I can sense the breath of Ganjiang Sword!"

"And, it should be around here!"
