Chapter 382
"According to the "Compassion Flower Sutra", in the past kalpas, when Amitabha Buddha was still the holy king of turning the wheel, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva was the king's first prince, named 'Buzhen'.

After Treasure Tathagata was sealed as the wheel-turning king, Prince Buzhen came forward and asked the Buddha to practice the bodhisattva way with his great voice.

Therefore, there is Avalokitesvara, the successor of Amitabha Buddha, who saves all sentient beings. "

Tang Sanzan put away a copy of "The Sutra of Sadness and Flowers", and said to his disciples with a bit of regret in his tone.

Hearing Tang Sanzan's words, the second senior brother's eyes turned into two soybeans, "So, Guanyin Bodhisattva is really a man?"

As he said that, the second senior brother looked at the Great Sage seeking proof.

The Great Sage shook his head, "My old grandson doesn't know, there is a layer of mysterious power on Guanyin that blocks all investigations.

If you hadn't practiced the old grandson in the gossip furnace back then, you might still be able to see a thing or two if you look down at the eyes of the gods of Jiuyou Hell.

Now all that is left is the piercing eyes that can distinguish the ability of monsters, but they can't see anything. "

The Great Sage's voice couldn't tell whether it was joy or sorrow, as if it wasn't his eyes that were destroyed.

Tang Sanzan looked at the two apprentices, but shook his head and said "No."

"Oh? Master, do you think that Guanyin Bodhisattva is really a woman?"

The second senior brother turned his head to look at Tang Sanzan, and couldn't help asking curiously.

Tang Sanzan still shook his head.

"Just now it was recorded in the Sutra of Compassion, and there is another record in "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and Great Strength Bodhisattva's Records Sutra": Sakyamuni said that in the past, there was a world named It is "the manifestation of immeasurable virtue and peace", and the Buddha's name is "golden light lion game Tathagata".

In the Buddhist kingdom, there is a king named 'Weide' who reigns supreme among a thousand worlds.

At that time, King Weide entered the samadhi meditation in the garden tower. Two lotus flowers gushed out from the ground on the left and right of the king. The two lotus flowers turned into two boys, and they went to the Buddha together with King Weide to realize the Bodhisattva fruit.

One is Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, and the other is Mahasthamaprapta Mokissa. "

The second senior brother scratched the few pig hairs on the top of his head, and his small eyes narrowed into two, revealing the light of wisdom.

"Master, what you want to express is that there are yin and yang in the world, and human beings are divided into male and female. The boy transformed from the two lotus flowers should also be a male and a female.

So Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva is a man, so the other boy Avalokiteshvara should be a woman? "

Tang Sanzun shook his head, "No, the meaning of being a teacher is—the records about the origin of Guanyin in the two Buddhist scriptures are different."

The second senior brother was confused: "What does that mean?"

Tang Sanzun smiled, "It means that old guy Shakyamuni doesn't even know the true roots of Guanyin!"

Second senior brother: "."

Although I don't know what you are talking about, I suddenly feel that what you said makes sense.

Avalokitesvara is even born differently in the two Buddhist scriptures, so which one should I believe?

In other words, it is better to have no books than to believe in books, and the records in both books are not reliable.

"So, regarding the question of whether Guanyin Bodhisattva is a man or a woman, I still have to continue to work hard as a teacher and explore it myself."

Second senior brother: "."

Great Sage: "."

You've already died once, can't you not die like this?
Tang Sanzun was unaware of the speechlessness of the two apprentices, his eyes flickered with the enthusiasm of a mad scientist when he was exploring the truth.

"A certain great leader once said that practice is the only way to test the truth. As a teacher, you must implement this philosophy to the end, and explore the truth of whether Guanyin is male or female in practice."

Great Sage: "."

Second senior brother: "."

I don't know why, but I always feel that after my master died once and came back to life, he seems to like to die more.

At least, before the time of his death, his master had never stated the idea of ​​such a death openly.

Then
Thinking of their own master who seemed even more unreliable, the two brothers looked at each other and shook their heads tacitly.

"Master, your old man is a monk, why is the old master dressed as a Taoist priest?"

Thinking of that unscrupulous Taoist ancestor, the second senior brother felt a sense of awe from his heart for some reason.

Tang Sanzan glanced at his second apprentice, "Have you ever said that your master is a Taoist?"

The second senior brother was dumbfounded, "Master, he is an old man. Isn't he a Taoist priest?"

He clearly remembered that the master who was not dressed in a fairy style was wearing a Taoist robe, wasn't he a Taoist priest?
"You are still too young to know that fake and shoddy products are emerging in an endless stream these days!"

Tang Sanzan gave the second senior brother a look, letting him understand.

Second Senior Brother: "..." So, the ancestor of my family who is immortal is actually a fake Taoist priest? ?
So, is that still a monk who does not abide by the rules and precepts?

Tang Sanzan looked at the messy expression of the second senior brother, and patted the second senior brother on the shoulder lightly.

"Bajie, you are too simple and trust people too easily.

Take being a teacher as an example.

Wearing a monk’s robe and hat for a teacher, chanting Amitabha Buddha with a bald head, drinking alcohol and eating meat for a teacher, and abstaining from female sex on the road to the West Paradise, can you know if a teacher is a fake monk? "

Second senior brother: "." Master, what does this mean?
Could it be that my master is not a real monk?

but
My master is a person chosen by Guanyin Bodhisattva to take Buddhist scriptures. Damn it, whether Guanyin Bodhisattva is really a man has become unknown. What can't be accepted by Guanyin Bodhisattva who personally selected a Buddhist scripture taker to be a fake monk?

Thinking of this, the second senior brother suddenly felt that he was really desperate for this world full of intrigues!
"Wukong, I just came back to life, and I'm still a little confused as a teacher. Where are we now?"

Glancing at the second senior brother who was a little messy, Tang Sanzan turned his head and asked the Great Sage.

Everyone remembers that Tang Sanzan caused Lei Pi to die once.

They clearly remembered Tang Sanzan's anger and grievances last night, causing Tianlei to strike him to death.

The Great Sage made trouble in the underworld but failed to retrieve the monk's soul, and the second senior brother begged for the Nine-Return Resurrection Pill but failed to awaken the monk's soul.

In the end, it was Tang Sanzan's master, a mysterious old Taoist who woke up Tang Sanzan.

As for how to wake him up, they forgot all about it.

It's just that they didn't have any doubts about this. After all, they thought they had to use some kind of magic and secret technique that was not humane to save Tang Sanzan.

With such supernatural powers, it is normal not to let them know.

Hearing Tang Sanbu's words, the Great Sage jumped from Sha Laosan's body into the air, stepped on the cloud and looked around for a moment, then dropped the cloud head again.

"Master, we will reach Longevity Mountain after another three hundred miles."

"Oh? Longevity Hill?"

Hearing these three words, Tang Sanzhu subconsciously wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and tapped Sha Laosan on the head with the Zen stick in his hand.

"San Sha, we are almost at Longevity Hill, speed up your journey and try to cover the 300 miles before dark.

That ginseng fruit is a good thing. I have lived in Dead Man's Mountain for 18 years as a teacher, and I have eaten less than [-] ginseng fruits.

Now that I have run out of ammunition and food, I just go to the Wuzhuang Temple to fight the tooth-beating sacrifice. "

Great Sage: "."

Second senior brother: "."

The two looked at each other, and they both saw what the other wanted to express.

After the monk died once, he couldn't help but like to play dead more, and he learned to brag.

What the hell. I ate less than 18 in [-]?

You think you are eating artificially bred genetically modified ginseng fruit, which is the ginseng fruit of Zhenyuanzi Daxian. It blooms in 3000 years, bears fruit in 3000 years, matures in another 3000 years, and only produces 1 fruits in a short period of [-] years.

You have eaten less than 18 pills in [-] years alone?
That's the output of the entire Wuzhuang Temple for tens of thousands of years, okay!
Hmm, that's not right, less than two hundred. I've eaten one, and it's less than two hundred.

I haven't eaten one, and I have eaten less than two hundred!

After hearing his master's words, Sha Laosan below responded, and cast a spell of Wanli Shenxing under his feet, and walked towards Wuzhuang temple in a hurry.

On the body of Laosan Sha, the Great Sage looked at Tang Sanzan seriously, "Master, your bragging appearance makes my grandson feel like you have known each other before."

Tang Sanbu: "."

What bragging?Who is bragging?What are you bragging about?
Where is he bragging?

Counting with his fingers, among all the things he ate, ginseng fruit was the least.

The total of 18 years should be 180 seven.

Just before walking to the Five Elements Mountain, the last treasured stock also went into his stomach, and it has been a long time since he ran out of ammunition and food.

just
This matter is not important, Tang Sanzan grasped another important point.

"Wukong, you said that being a teacher just bragging gave you a feeling of déjà vu?"

The Great Sage glanced at Tang Sanzan, and seeing that Tang Sanzan didn't show any dangerous aura, he nodded.

"Yes, my grandson has a very good friend, and I met that friend before my grandson jumped out of the rock.

About 500 years ago, as usual, my old grandson communicated with that friend again after an unknown distance.

That friend told my grandson that he met a new friend.

That new friend has a characteristic, he loves bragging.

And his friend never brags too much, most importantly, he often brags so much that he believes it. "

The Great Sage looked at Tang Sanzan, and said word by word, "My old grandson thinks, Master, you have already convinced yourself by bragging just now.

If it wasn't for Master, you were born too late, my old grandson would suspect that you are a new friend of my old grandson's friend. "

Tang Sanbu: "."

Bragging?
He was buried in the third Tang Dynasty, a dignified holy monk, and an apprentice who carried the handle on the mountain of the dead. How dare you call him bragging.

"Okay, as a teacher today, I will let you see if being a teacher is bragging."

Knocking Sha Laosan on the head made Sha Laosan stop.

With a wave of Tang San's hand, the ring opened a door.

Crash, all kinds of fairy fruit and panacea kept falling out from the ring.

3000, 6000, and 9000-year-old flat peaches, and the legendary Huang Zhongli, the number one spiritual root in the world.

Ginkgo biloba, which is also an innate spiritual root.

That one gourd and one gourd, from the appearance of the gourd alone, the Great Sage felt very much like the Nine Turns Golden Pill that he had eaten after a drunken peach feast.

just
It's all piled up into a hill and it's still falling out.

If these things are true.
When did flat peach, ginkgo, yellow plum, and nine-turn golden elixir and ginseng fruit become so free?

Looking at Tang Sanzan, who had a calm expression on his face, and the pile of spirit pills and fairy fruits that were still increasing, the Great Sage suddenly felt that...
If I had such things back then, I would have made such a fuss in Heaven!
