Watching Nezha, the story of Nezha's suicide in the Investiture of the Gods brought tears to my

"But what if you're just a mortal? As long as you have unwavering faith and a compassionate heart, you can still transcend the ordinary and become a saint."

After saying this, Ji Gong waved his fan, hummed a little tune, and slowly walked away, leaving Guangliang and Biqing standing there, looking at each other thoughtfully.

...

The world of the Green Snake, Jinshan Temple.

Bai Suzhen uses her magic.

This caused a fierce wind to howl, and the river water to surge up to several meters high, producing a deafening roar.

"The mighty Tianlong!"

Fahai wore a crimson cassock, which fluttered in the wind.

Fahai forcefully moved mountains to save Jinshan Temple from being flooded and defeated Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing.

"Hmph, a mere monster, daring to run wild in the sacred Buddhist land! He clearly doesn't take me seriously at all!"

Fahai, still furious, glared at the two demons.

Suddenly, thousands of golden rays of light poured down from the sky, dazzling and brilliant.

Fahai subconsciously looked up and saw the golden body of the Buddha appear in the sky.

Surrounded by auspicious light, the Buddha's countenance was solemn and dignified, his compassionate gaze looking down upon the earth as if he could see through the good and evil of all living beings in the world.

Fahai's originally sharp gaze instantly turned into one of utmost piety.

Without hesitation, he knelt down, clasped his hands together, and bowed deeply to the Buddha, chanting incantations:

"May Buddha have mercy, Amitabha Buddha, I pay my respects to the Buddha."

At this moment, Fahai's violent demeanor, which had just been fighting against demons, had completely vanished.

Before the Buddha, he was simply a devout believer, wholeheartedly devoted to the Buddha, praying for the guidance and protection of the Dharma.

...

The world of Journey to the West.

When Tang Sanzang and his disciples saw the golden statue of Buddha, they immediately bowed down in worship!

After paying their respects to the Buddha, the conversation naturally turned to the Buddha's past life and origins.

To demonstrate his Buddhist knowledge, Tang Sanzang began to lecture in a deliberately profound manner:

“My disciples, do you know that the Buddha was also a mortal in his previous life?”

"He was originally a prince of a country. He witnessed the suffering of all living beings in the human world, and devoted himself to Buddhism. With compassion in his heart, he cultivated good relationships and accumulated immeasurable merits over many years of practice. Finally, he became a Buddha and saved all living beings in the three realms."

Tang Sanzang's voice was full of pride.

Then he clasped his hands together, closed his eyes slightly, and slowly said:

"We who are on the pilgrimage to the West must also be devoted to the Buddha, uphold good thoughts, practice the Dharma, cultivate ourselves in all walks of life, subdue demons and monsters, and finally attain perfect Buddhahood, leading us to escape the sea of ​​suffering."

The Buddha's previous incarnation was Duobao Daoren of the Jie Sect.

[Its true form is the manifestation of the Treasure Rat, a primordial spirit beast of heaven and earth.]

[He was the eldest disciple of the Tongtian Sect Master, accompanying him since the beginning of time. He received boundless Daoist teachings, mastered countless wondrous methods, and cultivated for millions of years, finally attaining the rank of Great Luo Golden Immortal!]

The image of Daoist Duobao appeared in the sky.

That was an Eastern deity whose image was completely different from that of Buddha.

He had a well-defined face and a well-proportioned figure, and wore a black Taoist robe.

...

The Buddha's previous incarnation was Duobao Daoren of the Jie Sect, and his true form was a rat!

This long-ago shocking secret was like a bombshell, instantly causing a stir among all the gods and immortals.

The image of the Buddha is incomparably noble in the hearts of all the gods and Buddhas!

Who would have thought that the Buddha's previous incarnation was a rat?

For a moment, the gods and immortals were all discussing among themselves, their faces filled with disbelief.

"What? The Buddha's previous incarnation was a rat? How is that possible!"

"This completely overturns our understanding of Buddha!"

"If this news is true, what a legendary life the Buddha must have had! From the Eastern Jie Sect to becoming the Buddha of the West..."

When the Buddhist disciples in the heavens learned of this news, their faith almost collapsed!

Who would want to worship a mouse as the supreme god?

...

The world of Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons.

Upon learning that Buddha's previous incarnation was a rat, Sun Wukong immediately raised his head and let out a sharp and arrogant laugh.

He laughed and gestured wildly, tossing and catching the golden cudgel in his hands with a crisp clanging sound.

"Hahaha, the Buddha is actually a rat! If a rat can become a Buddha, why can't I, Old Sun, be one?"

"Buddhas take turns being the Buddha, next year it's my turn! I've caused trouble at the Heavenly Palace, it's time to cause trouble at the Great Thunderclap Temple!"

In his view, he possessed extraordinary powers, had once caused a great disturbance in the Heavenly Palace, and was renowned far and wide.

Hearing about the Buddha's origins, my pride and self-esteem were completely ignited, and I felt that I was no less than the so-called Buddha.

Xuanzang stood to the side with his hands clasped together, his face full of compassion and gentleness.

He shook his head slightly and softly advised:

“Benefactor, all living beings in this world, no matter how humble their origins, can attain enlightenment as long as they wholeheartedly turn to Buddhism, have compassion in their hearts, refrain from all evil, and do all good.”

“Look at the Buddha. Even though he was a rat in his previous life, he still attained the supreme Buddhahood through his own cultivation and saved all sentient beings. If you, benefactor, can devote yourself to cultivation and remove anger, greed, and ignorance from your heart, you will surely achieve the golden body and enlightenment.”

Xuanzang's voice was calm yet firm, like a gentle spring breeze, carrying a comforting power.

Upon hearing Xuanzang's words, Sun Wukong burst into even louder mockery:

"Hahahaha! Old Sun doesn't care about that bullshit cultivation! A rat sitting in a temple, laughable! Who cares!"

...

The world of Journey to the West, a bottomless pit.

Upon hearing that the Buddha's previous incarnation was a rat, the rat demon's already cunning eyes flashed with a look of surprise, and his face involuntarily revealed a look of wild joy.

"Buddha is a mouse, and I am a mouse. I have a connection with Buddha!"

The rat spirit muttered excitedly to itself as it paced back and forth in the cave, its hands clasped tightly together, as if it had grasped some incredible opportunity.

As she reflected on her past, she suddenly realized something!

She was originally a mouse on Mount Ling, who listened to the Buddha preach and attained enlightenment through cultivation.

She later stole the sesame oil from Mount Ling and was captured by Nezha and Li Jing. Instead of executing her, Buddha made her acknowledge Nezha as her brother and Li Jing as her father.

This gave her an unexpected and powerful background from the Heavenly Court!

You should know that Buddha was not a magnanimous person!

Buddha's disciple Jin Chanzi was banished to the mortal realm and reincarnated ten times because he dozed off while listening to the sutra!

Her crime was more serious than Jin Chanzi's, but her punishment was lighter!

"Is all of this because I am a rat spirit, and Buddha was also a rat in his previous life, so we should be of the same origin as each other!"

"So that's why Buddha made an exception?"

Her voice echoed in the cave, carrying a hint of secret joy.

...

The world of the Green Snake, by the West Lake.

Bai Suzhen's eyes flashed with malice as she mercilessly mocked Fahai:

"Bald monk, don't you always claim to be exorcising demons and upholding the righteous path? Now that Buddha himself was a rat demon in his previous life, why don't you subdue Buddha and cleanse Buddhism!"

Although Bai Suzhen was defeated, she still raised her eyebrows and widened her eyes, her gaze filled with disdain and provocation towards Fahai's so-called justice.

Upon hearing this, Fahai was struck dumb, as if by a thunderbolt.

His usually cold and resolute face instantly became distorted, his eyes filled with disbelief and terror.

"How is that possible? Why would Buddha have been a rat in his previous life?"

Fahai muttered to himself, his voice trembling.

His unwavering devotion to Buddhism and his dedication to righteous acts of vanquishing demons and monsters.

At this moment, it's like a tall building on the verge of collapse, its foundation being severely shaken by this sudden news.

(Ma Le Zhao) His mind was in chaos, his past reverence for Buddha and hatred for evil intertwined and collided at this moment.

"No, this must be fake. You're talking nonsense, using trickery to try and disturb my mind!"

"Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon! Break!"
