Lingshan Leiyin Temple, the peacock Daming King, the Buddha's mother, is leaning on the nine-treasure lotus platform. She is wearing a peacock-colored feather coat, winding and dragging the ground, her temples are high, her black hair is inlaid with gold and jade, her face is like a silver plate, and her eyebrows are black. High nose, phoenix eyes and vermilion lips, emitting colorful light from head to tail, looks extremely graceful and luxurious.

She suddenly opened her red lips lightly, and said lightly: "Tathagata..."

As soon as her words fell, the Tathagata appeared amidst the shining golden light, clasped his palms together and said, "Mother, why did you call me here?"

This peacock is exactly Tathagata's mother, but this mother is different from the mother of human beings. It should be said that she is a foster mother and has no blood relationship.

It turns out that the ancients believed that since the time of chaos, the sky opened from the son, the earth opened from the ugliness, people were born from the Yin, and the sky and the earth rejoined, and all things came into being.

There are beasts and birds in all things. Beasts grow from unicorns, and birds grow from phoenixes. The phoenix has the spirit of mating and breeds peacocks and rocs.

When the peacock was born, it was the worst. It eats people and sucks people up four or fifty miles away. The Tathagata built a golden body of six feet on the top of the snow mountain. go.

The Tathagata followed the peacock's belly and wanted to get out through the door, but fearing that it would get dirty, he cut open her back with his fingers and got out. Under the severe pain, she shrieked and shook the Lingshan Mountain, fighting the Tathagata desperately.

The Buddhas rushed to hear the sound, and the Tathagata was about to kill the peacock, but was stopped by the Buddhas. They all said: "Buddha, you drilled out of her body, just like a human being gives birth to a child. She is your mother. Hurting her is tantamount to hurting her." Mother, please save her life."

Tathagata agreed, and named her the mother of the Buddha Peacock Daming King Bodhisattva, and has been enshrined to this day.

Besides, when the peacock saw Tathagata, he said calmly: "As far as I know, Jin Chan has almost arrived at Lingshan, but I haven't heard you tell me about it."

Tathagata flashed his eyes and said with a smile: "It's not easy to disturb mother with such a small matter."

Peacock snorted coldly, and said: "I am very clear about the matter between you and Jin Chan. You took advantage of me to travel to the East and drove Jin Chan into reincarnation. I can bear it. Now what nine are you setting up?" Nine 81 difficulties, refused to pass on the scriptures to him, and insisted that he go through untold hardships, narrowly escaped death, and travel thousands of miles away. Now you tell me that this is a trivial matter. What is it to you? event?"

Tathagata shook his head and said: "There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as there is a caring person. I let Jin Chan go through the catastrophe, so that he can strengthen his Buddha heart, and he will have no second thoughts. Convert to my Buddha."

Peacock said coldly: "I'm afraid this is your wishful thinking. Even I can't figure out Jin Chan's thoughts, and you are the same. Otherwise, how could you send him into reincarnation because he didn't listen to the scriptures?"

Tathagata's face darkened slightly, and he said: "Mother, don't worry about this matter, I have my own reasons."

The peacock raised his head and smiled, and the laughter echoed in the empty hall, and said: "I, the mother of the Buddha, is not as good as any of your disciples, you don't kill me, you just want to maintain a compassionate image in the three realms, and you are What kind of virtue, I know very well."

Tathagata didn't move his eyebrows, and said: "Mother's words are serious."

Peacock said: "Since I had no choice but to surrender to you, I have gotten used to abstaining from killing and eating people, so I have nothing to complain about."

Tathagata smiled and said: "Since there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

The peacock didn't respond, and Tathagata didn't care, and the golden light had already left.

The peacock leaned against the Baolian Terrace, kept the same posture, and remained motionless for a long time, thinking of someone in her heart.

She suddenly murmured: "Jinchan, we haven't seen each other for a long time, do you miss me? Sigh..."

She let out a faint, long sigh. Suddenly, she got up slowly and walked down the lotus platform. The long skirt dragging on the floor made a rustling sound. She turned around lightly, and the colorful light flashed, turning into a A young girl in her twenties and eight years, this girl is dressed like a royal princess, she is charming and pure and charming.

She smiled and disappeared in place.

On the lotus platform of the seven treasures, the Tathagata had a gloomy face, thought for a long time, and suddenly called out: "Ananda, Kasyapa!"

Ananda, the two venerable Kasyapa appeared at the call, and they clasped together and said, "What is the sacred instruction of the Buddha?"

Tathagata said: "You two, ride the clouds separately, and go to Xuan Wutai to Manjusri and Puxian from Mount Emei to see me."

"Yes!" Ananda and Kassapa had already attracted two Bodhisattvas, Manjusri and Samantabhadra, without a cup of tea.

The two clasped together and said, "What is the Buddha calling for?"

"Ananda, Kassapa, step back first." The Tathagata made the two venerables step back, and after a moment of meditation, he said, "Has your two horses come?"

"Here we come!" Manjusri and Puxian whistled at the same time, and after a while, two giants, a green lion and an elephant, walked in quietly and fell down at the feet of their respective masters.

Tathagata stared at the two beasts, his face darkened, and it was difficult to distinguish.

Manjusri and Puxian looked at each other, unable to guess what the Buddha was thinking.

Tathagata suddenly said: "You two Bodhisattvas, let your beasts ride down to the lower realm."

Manjusri Puxian's face immediately changed greatly, and they shouted in unison: "It must not be done!"

Tathagata said lightly: "Why?"

Manjusri said: "My young son has been restless recently, and even my master can hardly control it. Once he goes down to the realm, he will be destroyed."

Hearing this, his green lion let out a long howl, and his copper bell-like eyes shone with excitement.

Puxian said: "My little elephant was originally a vegetarian. For some reason, he suddenly clamored to eat raw meat. I was having a headache because of it. If I let him go at this time, he would definitely eat people for a living in the human world. The consequences would be disastrous. .”

His giant elephant flicked its long trunk, and the man stood up, with a long howl, the sound shook the hall.

These are simply two big ferocious beasts, extremely frightening.

Tathagata's complexion completely sank, a pressure was released, Manjusri and Puxian couldn't bear it, they stepped back a few steps, their foreheads were sweating profusely, and their faces were pale.

Tathagata's coercion continued to be released, his face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "I am not discussing with you, this is an order."

Manjusri and Puxian couldn't take it anymore, they fell down on the ground at the same time, and said in unison: "I will follow the order of the Buddha."

Tathagata nodded in satisfaction, withdrew his coercion, and said lightly: "The two beasts you are worried about will go down to eat people, it is a trivial matter. There are so many humans, it doesn't matter if you eat a few, you don't need to worry about it."

Manjushri and Samantabhadra felt chilled when they heard the words, this is the true face of the Western Buddha, who is the only one who respects himself, who treats human life like nothing, and the cruelty in his bones is heinous.

They neither dared to stand up, nor dared to raise their heads, and let the cold sweat drip from their foreheads to the ground, regretting in the depths of their hearts, why did the two of them betray Taoism and go to Tathagata, and now they are completely boarded by robbers , never come down again.

Only the Tathagata said again: "There is a kingdom of lions and camels in the human world. 500 years ago, the Dapeng, the son of the Phoenix, the younger brother of the Buddha's mother, and my uncle, ate the king of the lions and camels and all the civil and military officials. The size of the city is full." He also devoured all men and women, occupied the city, and the city was full of monsters."

Manjusri and Puxian were even more horrified when they heard it, and they didn't dare to speak out.

There was a smile on the Tathagata's face, and he said: "There is a lion camel cave near the lion camel country, and your two beast riders can make their homes in that cave. The roc will find them, and when the time comes , Jin Chan master and apprentice passed Shituoling, after the calamity, when Wukong comes to my Lingshan for help, I will call you to go and subdue your respective beast riders."

"Yes..." Manjusri and Puxian responded in unison.

"Go." Tathagata waved.

Manjusri and Puxian got up, led the beast riders and walked away. Their backs were so embarrassed that they kept bending over, as if two mountains were pressing on them, and they couldn't stand upright anymore.

Tathagata maintained a smile on his face, with a cruel meaning in his smile, and slowly said: "The skeleton is like a mountain, and the bones are like a forest. Thousands of living people have been eaten. Manjusri, Puxian, this is your beast rider What you have done to human beings in Shituoling, you have always claimed to be innocent and spotless, are you satisfied now? Haha...haha..."

He laughed loudly, and the Qibao lotus platform emitted a blood-colored light, which lasted for a long time, and the demonic nature in his body could no longer be restrained, and it stained the world with blood.

On this day, the maple leaves were turning red, and Xuanzang and his group finally arrived at Shituoling. Xuanzang was a little frightened when he saw the high mountains and deep mountains, and the black air rising to the sky. He stopped his horse and said, "Look at the high mountains and forests." It's dense, and I don't know if there is a way to go."

Wukong opened the way ahead, turned his head and said: "Master, there is no need to worry. Since ancient times, high mountains have their own way, and deep water has its own ferryman. Let me go to explore the road first."

He disappeared as soon as he said that, and after a while, he turned around and shouted: "Master, there is a way to pass, let's go."

Xuanzang rode on his horse immediately, and the group went up the mountain.

At this moment, on the mountain road in the distance, an old man came tremblingly with a cane.

Wukong blinked and jumped in front of the old man. The old man was startled and said in a trembling voice, "Why are you blocking my way?"

Wukong smiled and said: "Don't be afraid! Let me ask you, what kind of mountain is this? Are there monsters?"

The old man's complexion changed, and he said: "There is a group of monsters on this mountain, eating up the world's people for thousands of miles. It is extremely terrifying. If you are eminent monks going west, you must not go forward."

Wukong snorted, and said: "I don't know how many monsters eat people. I don't know how many people are killed along the way. Why are they afraid of him? The road has to be walked, and the monsters have to be eliminated."

The old man looked serious, and said: "They are not monsters, they are monsters. They can eat millions of people and have thousands of miles of blood. This is already a grievance."

"Heaven's wrath and people's resentment?" Qu Zheng suddenly came over and said, "Where is the sky's anger and people's resentment? The sky is also blue, and people are also quiet. The Tathagata in the west is indifferent. No matter how many demons eat people at the foot of his spiritual mountain, he will just let it go. He is still lying to his believers that the West is the Land of Ultimate Bliss."

"Alas..." The old man sighed and said, "This little brother is right, this Buddha has really gone too far this time."

Qu Zheng said coldly: "What's too much? You're just a lunatic, a devil!"

Wukong blinked and said, "Brother, what are you talking about? I can't understand."

"What we have encountered this time is big. Trouble. Over the years, whether it is big or small, all of them add up, and it is not as serious as this time. Don't you think so? Old Bai?"

Qu Zheng's expression was condensed, but suddenly he smiled again, and said to the old man.

The old man was startled, and said: "Little brother, you have mistaken the person."

"Oh!" Qu Zheng was full of smiles, and suddenly grabbed the old man's arm, shaking it and said, "You don't need to be called Lao Bai, but Tai Bai is fine, and Li Changgeng is also good. Do you still want me to call you Tai Bai Jin Xing?"

The old man smiled helplessly.

Wukong was really taken aback when he heard the words, and shouted: "You old official, why did you lie to us by changing your appearance like this?"

While he was speaking, the old man suddenly changed his appearance, he still had white hair and white eyebrows, his complexion was rosy in white, red in rosy, he was as pretty as a woman, it was Taibai Jinxing who hadn't been out for a walk for a long time.

Xuanzang dismounted from his horse, came up with Bajie Ao Lie, joined hands together and said, "Shangxian Taibai, Xuanzang is very polite."

Taibai stared at him with a complicated expression, and said, "Jin Chan, since we parted that year, we have never seen each other again."

Xuanzang smiled and said, "I don't remember anything about the golden cicada, so please don't blame the immortal."

"How could I blame you? Sigh..." Taibai sighed again, sat down on the bluestone by the roadside, and said, "Jinchan, let's sit down and talk."

"Good!" Xuanzang sat down on another bluestone.

Qu Zheng and the others sat around the two of them.

Taibai frowned and thought for a moment, then slowly said: "This mountain is called Shituoling, and there is a lion's cave. In the cave, there are three monsters with extraordinary abilities. They have five thousand little monsters in the south, five thousand in the north, and five thousand in the east. There are [-], [-] in the west, [-] to [-] patrollers, [-] gatekeepers, countless firewood and firewood, a total of [-], who specialize in eating people here, and the bones have piled up into mountains."

Xuanzang's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Why is this a tragedy in the world? It's not far away from the treasure temple of Lingshan Mountain. It's at the foot of Lingshan Mountain. Why doesn't the Buddha ignore it? Treat him indifferently?"

Taibai sneered and said, "You can ask him face to face when you arrive at Lingshan."

Qu Zheng also sighed leisurely, and said, "It's not been a day or two since the Tathagata has been insane. Didn't we already know it? Xuanzang, you just don't want to admit it."

Taibai nodded and said: "Little brother is right. My elder brother Laojun and I have already seen through the essence of this Buddha. It's just that we brothers are beyond our reach and have no choice. There are Buddhist believers at the foot of this Lingshan. He doesn't care, and neither can we." Take action to intervene and manage our own people well, but we want to be clear of our hearts, right and wrong, and feel at ease."

Xuanzang was pale and silent.

The six people let the mountain wind blow, and the wind seemed to have a faint fishy smell, which was suffocating. For a while, no one spoke.
