Chapter 248: Bodhi Patriarch Appears
When Guanyin Bodhisattva saw the two of them, he just smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and gently touched Su Meng's little head.
None of the three people spoke, just staring at the various people in front of them. After an unknown amount of time, the crowd gradually thinned out, and the moon had already reached the sky, indicating that it was already extremely late.
Su Meng had already fallen asleep. The little guy consciously rested his head on Guanyin Bodhisattva's lap, holding a lollipop in his mouth and a smile on his face, as if he had dreamed of something happy.
"Do you feel it?" Shakya suddenly said.
Guanyin turned to look at Sakyamuni, with a hint of doubt in his kind eyes.
"Time, do you feel the time? The loss of time."
Sakyamuni stretched out his hand, and a small and exquisite hourglass appeared in his palm.
"As time goes by, children will grow up and become adults, and then they will grow old, die, and reincarnate again, washing their souls again and coming to the world."
"Because of the preciousness of time, mortals work hard to live every day, but they do not forget to experience happiness in their spare time. Just like the people on the street, they are actually satisfied at the moment."
Guanyin Rui was thoughtful and listened quietly.
"You are also from the secular world. You should understand mortals better than others, otherwise you wouldn't be called Guanshiyin. Look at the gods and Buddhas in the sky. Time cannot leave traces on them. They live too long, thus placing themselves high. High, forcibly instilling his consciousness into human beings, thinking that he controls everything, and treating others as pawns, but he does not know that he is heading towards destruction. "
"Everyone should have free choice. All God can do is to be a bystander, guiding mortals correctly when they make mistakes, instead of imposing his own values on them. Is God right? Not necessarily ”
"Just like you, you wiped out the stone monkey's intelligence without authorization. Maybe you thought it was for his own good, but have you ever asked the other party? This is just your wishful thinking. For the sake of the big plan, Buddhism has designed everything. Is it a bit wrong? Have you ever really thought about violating the laws of heaven and the law?"
Sakyamuni said a lot in one breath, and Guanshiyin listened quietly, but his heart was already in turmoil.
Sakyamuni stood up and picked up Su Meng from Guanyin, and then walked towards the Jade Emperor Pavilion.
"Have you not slept for a long time? Thousands of years? Ten thousand years? No one stipulates that you cannot sleep if you become a god. On the contrary, I am a person who has a very regular schedule. Good night." Shakya said and held his head. Those who didn't return walked back.
Guanyin stared at Sakyamuni's back blankly, and after a long time, he sighed softly.
Although she still didn't know the other person's identity, she was certain in her heart that this person must be a member of the Buddhist sect, and his cultivation level was higher than hers.
Guanyin closed her eyes and sat cross-legged on the steps. She tried to sleep. The man was right. She had forgotten what it felt like to sleep.
I don't know how long it took, but Guanyin seemed to feel that someone had approved a piece of clothing for her, and then she opened her eyes.
"Oops, I woke you up." Ah Qing said sheepishly, holding a coat in his hand.
At this time, Guanyin discovered that it was already dark. Pedestrians also appeared on the streets again.
"It's okay, thank you, little girl." Guanyin said with a smile.
"Wow, sister, you smile so kindly, just like Aunt Qiao." Ah Qing said.
"What's your name?" Guanyin asked.
"Ah Qing." Ah Qing sat next to Guanyin.
"Aqing, it's a very cute name."
"whee."
"Are you also a person inside?" Guanyin asked.
"Yes, this belongs to my brother." Ah Qing said.
"Ahem..." Suddenly a light cough came.
"Ah Qing, it's your and my turn to buy breakfast today." Jiang Yuyan walked out.
The little girl instantly realized that she had just spilled the beans, stuck out her tongue, and quickly stood up.
"Let's go buy food and bring you some later. There are a lot of delicious food in Xianyang morning market." Ah Qing said to Guanyin. Then he picked up Jiang Yuyan and left quickly.
Jiang Yuyan glanced at Guanyin curiously and thought to herself, is this Guanyin Bodhisattva? So kind.
"What a child without any scheming." Guanyin looked at Ah Qing walking away, and couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.
At this moment, Guanyin Bodhisattva suddenly looked into the distance, and then disappeared from the spot.
In the sky outside Xianyang City, on a cloud, I saw a Taoist standing on the cloud.
"call out…"
Avalokitesvara appears next to this person.
"I have met Patriarch Bodhi." Guanyin clasped her hands together.
It was the good corpse of Saint Zhunti who came, claiming to be the Patriarch of Bodhi, with gray hair and beard, looking like a Taoist.
"Avalokitesvara, why are you here?" Bodhisattva asked.
"My disciple came back from Ksitigarbha and saw the prosperity of the Qin Dynasty, so he came here to have a look." Guanyin said. For some reason she didn't want to tell anything about the Jade Emperor Pavilion and the mysterious man.
Bodhi looked at Guanyin, didn't see anything, and then said.
"What did Ksitigarbha say?"
"Ksitigarbha does not know the origin of that person, and the disciples did not ask anything." Guanyin said.
"Oh? Ksitigarbha doesn't know either?" Bodhi was a little doubtful.
But Guanyin still said without changing her expression.
"Yes, Ksitigarbha said so."
Patriarch Bodhi nodded.
"Follow me back to Lingshan Mountain. You don't have to stay in the mortal world to avoid being tainted by the Buddha's heart." After saying this, Bodhi was about to leave.
Guanyin said suddenly.
"Grandmaster, I still have some matters to attend to, so I won't be returning to Lingshan with you for the time being."
"Huh?" Bodhi showed a hint of surprise, and then stared at Guanyin seriously.
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva also looked at Bodhi for a long time, and Bodhi nodded slightly.
"If that's the case, forget it." Bodhi said, turned around and disappeared.
"Farewell, Master." Guanyin saluted.
Bodhi Patriarch's strength is also quasi-saint, so he can't do anything to Guanyin, but he stopped not long after flying out.
"There's something wrong with Guanyin." Bodhi Patriarch murmured.
"Xianyang City, is there anything here that attracts you? Guanzizai."
Then, Bodhi Patriarch descended from the cloud and prepared to investigate the situation.
Guanyin returned to the gate of Baiyujing again, but saw the girl before holding a large plate of buns and looking for something everywhere.
"Ah, where have you been? I thought you left." Seeing Guanyin appear, Ah Qing was startled at first, and then hurriedly said.
"Sorry, I left for a while just now because of something." Guanyin smiled.
"Hehe, it's okay, look, this is the bun we bought, with vegetarian fillings, do you want to come in and eat together?" Ah Qing said, holding the plate like offering a treasure.
Guanyin was stunned, then looked up at the gate a few steps away, only to see that the gate was already open.
"This? Will it disturb you?" Guanyin hesitated.
"Hehe, no, everyone knows you." Ah Qing took Guanyin Bodhisattva's arm and walked in.
After passing the gate and walking in, the view suddenly became clear, and a bright hall appeared in front of them, with an extremely large table in the middle.
The table was already full of people. Guanyin Bodhisattva looked around and found that Shakya and Su Meng were also among them, as well as the red-dressed woman who had just left with Ah Qing, and many other people, whom she had seen for the first time.
"Hey, you're here, sit down quickly, don't be polite." Shakya waved hurriedly.
Everyone also smiled and nodded to Guanyin curiously.
Guanyin suddenly felt that the people here seemed to be very familiar with her.
"Awoo, awoo." The little guy Su Meng ate a big bun in one mouthful, stuffing his mouth full.
"Mengmeng, eat slowly, there are still a lot." Wan Wan said hurriedly.
"Come on." Ah Qing pulled Guanyin to sit down.
No one asked anything, and everything seemed so natural. Xiaomeng even poured a bowl of soy milk for Guanyin.
This feeling was both familiar and strange to Guanyin. It seemed that she had had this feeling before in her dusty memories.
"Yes, that was before I became a god. At home, in Xinglin Kingdom, I was still the third princess of King Miaozhuang. Didn't I often eat like this with my family at that time?" Guanyin's heart was filled with long-lost memories.
Guanyin Bodhisattva, who had not eaten mortal food for many years, reached out and picked up a bun and gently put it into her mouth.
"Hehe, is it delicious?" Ah Qing asked happily on the side.
"Yeah." Guanyin felt the long-lost taste in her mouth and nodded with a smile.
Soon, Guanyin discovered a problem. Except for Shakya and Su Meng, everyone else present would look at her from time to time.
"Do you know me?" Finally, Guanyin couldn't help but say.
"You are Guanyin Bodhisattva, of course I know you." Ah Qing said straightforwardly, and then quickly covered her mouth.
"Well, it seems that you are very famous." Sakya also laughed.
"I see." Guanyin understood that it must be Sakya who told everyone about her identity.
Then a white light flashed on her body, and her appearance became more kind and beautiful. She was wearing a white dress and a white sand on her head. She held the mutton-fat jade bottle in her left hand and turned back into the Dharma body of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
"Wow..."
Ah Qing and others opened their eyes wide.
"Hug, hug." Su Meng hurriedly ran over from her position. She always liked beautiful women and stretched out her greasy little fat hand towards Guanyin.
Guanyin smiled gently, put away the mutton-fat jade bottle with her left hand, and then hugged Su Meng.
"Well, it's so comfortable. Warm." Su Meng said happily with her head resting on Guanyin.
"I don't know your names yet." Guanyin asked.
Then everyone reported their names, Guanyin had never heard of them, but these people were all at a high level, all above Taiyi Jinxian. Of course, she still couldn't see through Sakya and the child in her arms.
"You can call me Sakya." Sakya also introduced himself.
Guanyin was shocked and her expression became extremely complicated.
