I am a fairy

Chapter 128: Meeting the Bodhisattva (Additional Update)
The carriage was bumpy on the road.

Ma Fu was still thinking about the conversation just now, wondering how the monk would be able to meet the wizard on this trip, and how he could help him persuade the wizard to accept the imperial edict.

He was a little confused in his heart, after all, monks and witches didn't seem to be closely connected, but he also had some expectations.

"As a Buddhist disciple, how can this monk persuade the witch of Yunzhongjun?"

However, the monk's arrival did calm Ma Fu, who was at a loss as to the way out. Looking at the monk in the car with a calm and relaxed look with his eyes closed, Ma Fu nodded secretly.

"But seeing how calm he is, I think he must have planned everything out long ago."

"As expected, he is the famous Master Nianhua Monk!"

Gradually, the carriage and horses approached the foot of the sacred peak.

After getting off the car, I looked at the flowing springs on the mountain and the scenery of clouds and mountains surrounded by fog.

The monk looked at this place and said, "We have reached the treasure mountain again."

Ma Fu asked, "Master, have you been here?"

Monk: "I was guided by the gods and Buddhas to come here to be tested. Unfortunately, I was not enlightened at that time and did not get the opportunity."

To be tested means to accept the test in Buddhism.

Ma Fu: "There is this matter?"

Could it be that this Lord Yunzhong in heaven had contacts and friendships with the Buddha and Bodhisattva in the Buddhist paradise?
He felt more and more that this monk was not a simple person.

Ma Fu, with a humble attitude, extended his hand to the monk behind him.

"Master, please."

Next, Ma Fu had no choice but to rely on the big monk, so Eunuch Ma kept a very humble attitude.

The monk clasped his hands together and showed no sign of modesty, as if he was the protagonist today.

"Thank you, Master Ma."

When passing through the mountain gate, the eunuch couldn't help but ask, still a little worried.

Ma Fu: "We have already arrived at the foot of the Divine Peak. Master, how are you going to meet the Divine Wizard?"

Monk: "Don't worry, Mr. Ma. I have a solution."

Ma Fu: "Is it the great wisdom of the Buddhist monks, or the great compassion like the Buddha?"

There was still the second half of the sentence that was not said: "Or, is it the Buddhist magical power that can kill people with just a smile?"

The monk smiled mysteriously: "Neither."

The big monk was seen striding upwards, and Ma Fu could only follow him.

The monk went up the mountain in high spirits.

I saw.

After he entered the main hall of the Yunzhong Temple, he fell to his knees.

Then, he shouted with a voice as loud as a huge bell.

Monk: "I am the śramaṇa disciple Konghui, and I have come to pay my respects to the Bodhisattva!"

At this moment, Ma Fu had just stepped over the threshold and looked at the big monk, and instantly became stunned.

One foot is inside and one foot is outside.

I don't know whether I should step forward with the back foot or pull back the front foot.

The old witch came out and said to the monk kneeling on the ground, "Monk, there is no Bodhisattva here that you want to worship."

The monk still did not stand up: "The divine witch is the Bodhisattva."

The eunuch Ma who was stuck at the door finally understood what the monk was going to do. He had seen down-and-out disciples use this trick to try to get close to wealthy and powerful relatives, saying that they were one family hundreds of years ago and now they came to trace their roots.

The monks' behavior is very similar.

But can this method also be used by gods?
As a Buddhist disciple, what kind of ancestors are you trying to gain by going to the shrine of Yun Zhongjun?

And you, the flower-picking monk, do you still want to keep your face or not?
Ma Fu thought he had seen many shameless officials, but this was the first time he realized that this monk was even more shameless than that official.

The witch said coldly: "If you continue to speak nonsense, I'm afraid I will have to kick you out."

The monk said, "In the past, a witch came across the river. I met her on the roadside. I saw the Buddha's light shining everywhere. She once stopped in front of me and asked me if I had seen her true body."

"From then on, I knew that the witch was a bodhisattva in the human world."

"Then, I crossed the river to pay homage to the gods and Buddhas."

"The gods and Buddhas have refined my heart three times, but unfortunately I am too stupid to understand their true intentions."

"Later, due to my obsession, I fell into the river and nearly ended up in hell. It was Yunzhongjun who sent a dragon and a guardian to rescue me from the surging river."

"When I escaped death, the guardian ghost scolded me, which also made me suddenly enlightened."

"Things in this world are easier said than done. The gods and Buddhas are enlightening me and letting me put my knowledge and actions into one."

"From then on, I knew what to do from now on."

The witch priest laughed: "According to what you said, Yun Zhongjun is also the Buddha of your sect?"

Monk: "In ancient times, the wilderness was not yet opened, the language was not known, and writing was not invented."

"At that time, there was no distinction between gods, immortals and Buddhas."

"May I ask the witch priest, what was the Lord of the Clouds called at that time?"

The priest was stunned, and he couldn't answer for a moment.

However, the monk told him.

"The world at that time."

"There is only the Awakened One, the One who has understood the impermanence of all phenomena, the non-self of all phenomena, and the suffering of all phenomena."

“The so-called Buddha and gods are just titles given to the enlightened and the sacred by later generations.”

"Even before the advent of writing, Yunzhong Jun was already known on earth. Not only Chu worshipped Yunzhong Jun, but also Yan and Zhao. The stories of Yunzhong Jun were spread everywhere in the Nine Provinces."

"Besides traveling around the Nine Provinces, is there anywhere else in the world that Yun Zhongjun cannot go?"

"How could the witch know whether people in other parts of the world still call Yunzhongjun the Yunzhongjun?"

"If we don't call Yunzhong Jun the Yunzhong Jun, does that mean he is no longer Yunzhong Jun?"

"Before Yunzhongjun was called Yunzhongjun, he must have passed through the West and was called Buddha by ordinary people in the West."

"So I came to Baoshan to worship the mountain and worship the witch as a bodhisattva. What's wrong with that?"

The monk was eloquent and his words left everyone dumbfounded, but no one could find any mistakes in his words.

They couldn't prove that what the monk said was right, but they also couldn't prove that what the monk said was wrong.

even.

After listening to this, many people present felt that what the monk said even made some sense.

Who said that Yun Zhongjun is called Yun Zhongjun everywhere? If Yun Zhongjun went to other places, how should mortals outside the Nine Provinces address him when they saw him? Even the writing and language there are different from those in the Central Plains, so how can they call him Yun Zhongjun?

After a long time, the priest finally spoke.

"nonsense."

The monk still had a smile on his face and stopped arguing.

"Whether it is true or not, please ask the priest to ask the divine shaman, and you will know."

Now, the witches and shamans were undecided and didn't know what to do.

In the end, the shaman did not drive out the monk who "spoke wildly", and could only send someone to report it to the shaman.

The monk said no more, but just knelt quietly in the hall with his hands clasped together.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

A shaman came out from behind and invited the monk to go up the mountain.

"please!"

The smile on the monk's face widened. After bowing devoutly, he followed the shaman through the Yunzhong Temple and walked towards the back.

At this time, the witch looked at Eunuch Ma who was standing at the door and said.

"The witch wants to see you."

Eunuch Ma looked around before he realized that he was being called.

"I?"

The witch nodded, and Eunuch Ma then stepped into the hall in disbelief and walked forward in a daze.

Before, Ma Fu stood at the door and watched the monk talking big without even taking a breath. It can be said that he regretted it to the core.

He saw it.

This monk had no other options but a mouth.

When others ask for money, it is at most a fatal mouth. But when a monk opens his mouth, he can not only send himself to the Avici Hell, but also send him in as well.

The monk was eloquent, but the eunuch dared not say a word, for fear that he would be recognized as being in the same group with the monk as soon as he opened his mouth.

He stood at the door the whole time without saying a word, as if I didn't know the eloquent monk in the hall at all.

However, the final result was beyond Eunuch Ma's expectations.

The monk actually used this method to make the shaman see him.

"Is this okay?"

However, Ma Fu didn't know what the witch meant by meeting the monk and him.

It is a blessing?

Or is it a disaster?
His mood was up and down as he walked slowly through the hall.
-
This was the first time that the eunuch walked behind the Yunzhong Temple.

Behind the shrine is a large bamboo forest on one side and a mountain foothill and the Shou Palace where Yunbi is said to be enshrined on the other side.

It is said that the mountain is a forbidden forest where mountain gods, ghosts and monsters roam. Some even say that the hot spring flows out from under the Nine Netherworlds.

There are even more legends about the cloud wall in the Shou Palace. Everyone says in unison that the cloud wall is the gate between the Yin and Yang worlds, connecting to the sky above and the underworld below.

"This way!"

Standing at the fork, Ma Fu heard the witch's shout and immediately looked to the other side.

As far as the eye can see, they know where they are going next. This time they are going to the Yunbi Shou Palace.

Ma Fu and the Monk Picking Flowers followed the witch's steps slowly. While walking, Ma Fu could not help but give the monk a few instructions.

Ma Fu: "Master, we are about to meet the witch, so we should be careful and not anger the witch."

He was a man with great powers who could call the wind and rain, summon gods and ghosts. Although he was said to be good-tempered and kind, if they angered him, he might send them to hell on the spot. How could Ma Fu not be afraid?

The monk remained calm and said, "I have great respect for the Bodhisattva. How could I have angered the Bodhisattva?"

Ma Fu felt helpless after hearing this: "Why are you saying that?"

Passing through the doorposts carved with monkeys and leopards, we entered the Longevity Palace.

The curtains hanging down in the Shou Palace fluttered in the wind, like white clouds in the sky.

Deep in the layers of "white clouds", there is a person sitting.

The two of them looked carefully and found that it was the one with the appearance of a god.

The shaman did not wear a mask, but sat in front of the mysterious cloud wall in a robe with cloud patterns.
In the eyes of the monk, this scene was like the celestial beings in the mural and the Guanyin on the lotus platform.

The monk stepped forward and said, “Greetings to the Bodhisattva.”

When the witch opened his eyes, with that "heavenly appearance", people couldn't bear to look at him for a moment.

“As the saying goes, for those who practice cultivation, their spirits disperse when their mouths open, and trouble arises when their tongues move.”

"Kong Hui, why are you so outspoken?"

Monk: "That must be because I haven't practiced enough. In my eyes, Yun Zhongjun is the one who enlightened me, the Buddha walking in the world, and you are the living Bodhisattva."

Divine Witch: "Why are you here?"

The monk said, "I came here for the Bodhicitta."

Divine wizard: "What is your bodhicitta?"

The monk finally became serious and spoke to the wizard.

"I came from the north and saw the scene of a hundred years of chaos in the world. Bones were piled up in the wild, and no one collected them."

"The once prosperous old town is now desolate and deserted."

"The poor have to sacrifice bones for food and exchange their children for food in order to survive."

"The royal family fought for the throne, fathers and sons killed each other, and brothers and sisters killed each other."

After talking about the north, the monk started talking about the south.

"And in the Southern Dynasty."

"Everywhere I look, scholars and dignitaries either indulge in pleasure all day long, or become crazy and obsessed with power, without realizing it."

"The common people are tired of the harsh government, working hard all day and having no time to eat."

"From the emperor to the royal family, from the scholars and nobles to the common people."

"All living beings are in the cycle of reincarnation, unable to control themselves, just like purgatory."

"The disciple couldn't help but wonder."

The witch asked: "What are you thinking about?"

The monk said, "Is this the human world or the Avici Hell?"

Divine Witch: "So, what do you want to do and what do you want to ask for?"

The monk had thousands of things to say, but in the end it was reduced to just one sentence.

"I want to go to hell and see what the real underworld looks like."

“Perhaps only after reading this can I know what to do next and find my bodhicitta.”

And the monk finished speaking.

Not only did the wizard hear it, but Ma Fu who was standing beside him also heard it clearly.

However, the eunuch's face changed drastically and he was almost frightened to the point of shitting and pissing.

Listen to what nonsense this monk is saying?
He traveled thousands of miles to come here just to go down to the hell under the Nine Netherworld and take a look. Is it possible to go down to that ghost place casually? Which madman would want to go down and take a look?
Ma Fu stared at the monk in disbelief, while the shaman in front of the cloud wall sat upright and did not respond to the monk's words.

The wizard tilted his head to look at Ma Fu and asked again.

"What about you?"

Ma Fu immediately knelt down and faced the witch. After careful consideration, he finally spoke.

"As Master Nihua said, the world is full of sufferings. From the emperors and scholars to the millions of ordinary people, all are in the cycle of reincarnation."

"So I am here at the order of the emperor to invite the witch to come out of the mountains."

"If the divine witch can emerge, he will be able to turn the world around and unite the nine states."

"Save the people of the world, make them live and work in peace and contentment, and turn the world into a paradise."

Ma Fu was also a man with good insight. He used the monk's force to his advantage and continued with what he had just said.

However, this cannot be said in front of the emperor, and the emperor cannot listen to it.

The dynasty under my rule is peaceful and prosperous, with all the wise men gathered and all industries are thriving. It can be said that the dynasty is full of righteous people.

Where did this evil villain come from? How dare he say that my prosperous dynasty is a hell on earth?

But here, Ma Fu had another idea.

Since the power, wealth, and beauty in the world are not in the eyes of the wizards, then, can the idea of ​​saving the world and the people be able to impress the wizards?

After hearing this, the wizard's attitude was indeed different from before.

She did not refuse directly or show disdain as she did before, but thought about it seriously, and spoke to Ma Fu after a long time.

"I will give you an answer after the matter of the Yangtze River and the dragon going out to sea is resolved."

Ma Fu was overjoyed; this was the best answer he had expected.

At this point, the matter of eunuch Ma Fu came to an end.

However, the monk was still waiting.

In front of the cloud wall.

The wizard looked at the big monk and actually didn't know how to respond.

The monk was not in a hurry. He just knelt in front of the witch, put his hands together and leaned forward, as if he was worshiping and praising her.

at last.

The wizard stood up in front of the cloud wall, and his wide robe smoothed out all the wrinkles like flowing clouds.

"All living beings are in the cycle of reincarnation, unable to control themselves, just like purgatory."

"Why?"

"What can I do?"

The monk and Ma Fu both raised their heads and looked at the witch asking herself, it seemed that she couldn't find the answer to this question either.

But it also sounded like they were asking about some invisible existence between heaven and earth.

And when I raised my head.

They also saw the wizard cross his hands and slowly take out a mask from his sleeves.

Both the monk and the eunuch Ma Fu standing beside him knew what the mask was.

"The appearance of a god."

It is rumored that only by putting on the mask can the shaman transform from a mortal on earth into a god in heaven.

And when the two of them raised their heads, the wizard also looked down at them.

There seemed to be some complicated meaning in his eyes.

Then, the shaman put on the image of a god little by little in front of them, allowing them to witness with their own eyes the entire process of this man transforming into a god.

Hold the mask in your hand and cover your face with it.

Silver lines continued to extend from deep inside to the back of the head, tying the soft black hair into a ponytail.

Various colors of light flowed on the mirror-like mask, making people dazzled.

The moment he put on the divine mask, the wizard's temperament seemed to have undergone a drastic change.

And the two people kneeling on the ground.

When I was concentrating on watching the masked wizard, I suddenly saw the cloud wall behind the wizard light up.

"what is that?"

"It's lit up?"

"Could it be, could it be that the legendary door has opened?"

"The Yin-Yang Gate leads to the nine heavens and also to the nine earths?"

In an instant, the two of them thought of many things.

Transparent light continued to emerge and converge into a huge vortex.

It was as if a door that did not exist in this world was opened, and the wizard stood in front of the cloud wall, as if straddling the worlds of yin and yang.

A monk and a eunuch.

Two originally unrelated and unconnected existences come together at this moment to witness this incredible scene.

Suddenly, the vortex spread out completely, and the blazing white light filled the entire Shou Palace, dyeing everything white.

It was as if there was something coming out from the wall of clouds with endless light.

From above the nine heavens.

Step into the world.

The witch can't give an answer.

However, she found the one who could give her the answer.
