Journey to the West: I want to be sanctified

Chapter 256
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva was dressed in white, dotted with wreaths and emerald beads, and the fragrant wind came to the gate of Tushita Palace.

He shouted loudly: "The poor monk Nanhai Guanshiyin, I'm here to pay homage to the Supreme Lord."

After a while, two Taoist boys came out from Tushita Palace.

Guanyin Bodhisattva's face beamed with joy. There were two Taoist boys, one wearing a golden Taoist robe and the other wearing a silver Taoist robe.

The gold and silver boy saluted quickly, and said, "It turns out to be Guanshiyin Bodhisattva of the South China Sea. Please Bodhisattva for a while, and I will report to Laojun."

Fortunately, Laojun was not making alchemy at this time, so Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva soon entered the Tushita Palace, and was led to a palace by the gold and silver boy.

Taishang Laojun saw Guanyin Bodhisattva, smiling, sitting on the Tai Chi futon, and asked her to sit at the table.

"Jinyintonger, go serve tea to Master Guanyin."

Avalokitesvara quickly expressed her thanks, holding her white skirt with both hands, and sat down gracefully in front of the table.

"Master Avalokitesvara does not listen to the Buddha's lectures on the Lingshan Mountain, nor does he practice in the Chaoyin Cave in the South China Sea. How can he come to my Tushita Palace?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva clasped his hands together, saluted slightly, and showed a bright and charming smile, "Since the last time I bid farewell to Laojun, hundreds of years have passed in a blink of an eye."

Taishang Laojun nodded, recalling that the last time he saw Avalokitesvara was when Sun Wukong made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, "That's right, there is no sun and moon in cultivating the Tao, and hundreds of years are just a snap of your fingers, as if you just parted with the great master yesterday .”

"There is no sun and moon in cultivating the Tao, but mortals have gone through countless reincarnations, experienced how much love and hatred, and how many sins and pains they have experienced."

Taishang Laojun smiled and joked, "Master Guanyin, come here this time, is it possible to debate Buddhism with my old Taoist?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva didn't dare to be too big, and laughed quickly. "The old gentleman has offended the poor monk. The poor monk's Dharma is superficial. How dare he overestimate his own strength and talk about the Buddhadharma in front of the old gentleman. This method is entrusted by my Buddha Tathagata. I want to ask the old gentleman for a favor. "

The Taishang Laojun showed curiosity, "The Tathagata Buddha is the ancestor of all Buddhas, the Dharma is boundless, and he is also the head of Buddhism. The old Taoist is nothing more than a alchemy Taoist, how can he help?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva's heart sank slightly, this trip is really not easy, and the old master Taihang has already started to block his own words.

Since the sage Taishang Daozu retreated, Laojun has been regarded as the representative of Taishang Daozu and also the representative of Taoism.If Western Buddhism wants to start the Journey to the West smoothly, it must obtain the consent or acquiescence of both the Jade Emperor and the Taishang Taoist.

Just now, a letter from the Tathagata Buddha has already made the Jade Emperor agree to this matter.

Now, the Taishang Laojun needs to agree.

You can't directly say that Buddhism is spreading to the east, that is directly provoking the dignity of the Taoist school. Although it is said that the Taishang Taoist ancestor has no desires and desires, and he doesn't care much about the inheritance of the Taoist school, the Buddhist school can't ignore the face of the Taoist ancestor and go directly to others and say that it is going to be destroyed. Your orthodoxy.

There must be methods in doing things, and skills in conversation.

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva said, "The old gentleman is humble. This matter is also a meritorious deed."

Taishang Laojun smiled and said, "Oh? There are still merits?"

"Old gentleman, do you still remember the Monkey King who made a big disturbance in the Heavenly Palace back then?"

"Of course I remember, that Pohou also ate a lot of my elixir and kicked over my Eight Diagrams Stove. I beat him with a Vajra Chute, so I understood the cause and effect."

Guanyin Bodhisattva laughed and said, "Old Monarch is indeed a Golden Immortal of Wuscale, and cause and effect can be counted without leaving a plan.

My Buddha Tathagata has always respected the Taoist ancestor, and now I even respect the heaven.

It has been nearly 500 years since the story of Monkey King, but the vicissitudes of life in the mortal world, the change of dynasties, the inconsistency and the deceitful monsters, who do not know what is good or bad, will cause chaos in the sky, and I am afraid that it will disturb the peace of the Great Tianzun, which is quite bad.Thinking of this, the Buddha thought of sharing the worries of heaven. "

When Taishang Laojun heard Guanyin Bodhisattva say this, he was embarrassed to interrupt her again.After all, he was absolutely determined not to express any objection to the names such as Great Tianzun and Tianting.

"Master Avalokitesvara, I never thought that the Buddha would be so thoughtful and thoughtful. It really makes people feel a lot of emotion."

The Taishang Laojun had nothing else to say, so he had no choice but to say something indifferent, slightly ironic that the Tathagata Buddha was really worrying.

Guanyin Bodhisattva pretended not to hear, smiled slightly, and continued, "So, I came here this time to ask Laojun to borrow someone to subdue the demons of the lower realm for the heaven together."

Taishang Laojun sighed in his heart, this Western Buddhism has always been like this, no matter how he hinted that he was unwilling, this Guanyin pretended not to hear it, so he forced his request out.

"Master Avalokitesvara, for subduing demons from the lower realms for the heavenly court, I naturally agree with the old way, but in my Tushita Palace, there are all boys who make alchemy, and there are no advanced people. The Bodhisattva must have come to the wrong place, looking for the wrong one. people."

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva observed Taishang Laojun's expression, and said with a smile: "Lao Jun is too worried. To subdue the demons in the lower realm for the heavenly court, Buddhism can't just shout and kill. You must have a name, and this name, I Buddha Tathagata has already made a plan, and it is precisely in the name of Theravada Buddhism to seek the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures that he will launch a grand plan to travel westward, from Nanfangbuzhou to Xiniuhezhou, all the demons and ghosts along the way can be wiped out in one go."

Such a person as the Taishang Laojun has already seen the true meaning behind the Bodhisattva's words.

In the name of obtaining Mahayana scriptures in Theravada Buddhism?

Isn't it just to spread Western Buddhism to the East?Although this matter has nothing to do with me, but I don't need to be contaminated with unnecessary karma, I have to find a way to stop the Guanyin Bodhisattva's mouth, so that she can't continue talking.

"Guanyin Bodhisattva, here comes the tea, please use the tea first." At this moment, the gold and silver boy happened to bring the hot tea that had been brewed, and brought it up.

"Thank you, old gentleman." Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva said no more, picked up the teacup, and slowly savored it.

After drinking a glass, he was about to speak when he heard Taishang Laojun say:

"Jinyintonger, is the stove ready?"

The gold and silver boy looked at each other, and quickly said: "Old Lord, I'm ready, and I can make alchemy anytime."

Taishang Laojun nodded and counted with his fingers, "Alchemy pays attention to the time of day. At this moment, it is the time when yin and yang are in harmony. Don't miss it easily! The two of you quickly prepare to open the furnace and put the primary raw materials into the furnace. Now, prepare for alchemy!"

The gold and silver boy didn't dare to neglect, so he took his orders and left.

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva saw Taishang Laojun's appearance and knew that it would be difficult to say what to say next, so he could no longer pretend to be stupid at this time, so he said: "It seems that the poor monk came at an inappropriate time to disturb Laojun's alchemy."
