Chapter 03 Lishan Old Mother (《》)

During this year's practice, the Black Bear accidentally discovered some strange things about himself. Not only is his extremely powerful, but he can also absorb the power of faith unscrupulously.

How can Buddhism take root in the Middle Land as an alien religion? The big reason is because of their strength. Otherwise, if you say it will be full of splendor and golden springs, Taoists will send a few monsters to kill the monks and pass on a lot of teachings?

After Buddhist practitioners reach the Arhat realm, when they practice, in addition to absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth and transforming it into Buddha's essence, they can also absorb the power of faith to temper their golden body to achieve the effect of both internal and external cultivation. At the same time, the increased strength of Buddhist practitioners is almost twice that of Taoist practitioners. Which one is better can be seen at a glance!

Fortunately, the absorption of the power of faith is limited. Its absorption generally cannot exceed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, otherwise there will be danger of exploding the body and dying. Otherwise, the Taoist sect will no longer exist and stay wherever it cools.

But the Black Bear seemed to be unrestricted, and it was not known whether it was because his soul was stronger than others or because of his extraordinary talent. In short, he could almost absorb the power of faith without any scruples.

The believers of Guanyin Bodhisattva in the mortal world may have to come more than the Buddha. The power of faith here has already begun to liquefy. The black bear will not care even if he uses many Bodhisattvas. Now she is extravagant to use the power of faith to plant golden lotus. The "colorful lotus seeds" are used as water and watered. No wonder there is such supernatural power.

After this year of practice, although the Buddha Yuanli of the Black Bear is only at the level of a venerable, the strength of the golden body is far beyond that of the same level. The Black Bear is confident that even if there are three or five venerables, he can solve the problem by himself. His powerful golden body is not a vegetarian.

"Idiot, why are you in a daze again? How are you learning martial arts? Do you not understand it? I can't even understand it if you insist on learning "The Truth of the Ten-Strait Vajra Tripitaka". I don't understand it very much. I regret it now!"

Guanyin Bodhisattva sitting on the "Nine-grade Golden Lotus" said with a smile to the black bear lying on the edge of the golden lotus.

Of course, the idiot is the name of the black bear now. Since the Bodhisattva discovered that the black bear was staring at her in a daze, the idiot has become his name, and he doesn't even want the name of General Black Bear.

After staying with the Bodhisattva for a long time, the Black Bear found that she was actually easy to get along with. She was not as majestic as she imagined, and she would not bully others with power. Of course, it may be because he passed on his "The Mantra of the Vajra of the Ten Directions", which was also considered half of his master. Unlike Manjushri Bodhisattva, he could castrate his mount, the Green Lion King.

Seeing that the Bodhisattva seemed to be in a good mood now, the black bear immediately felt an opportunity. He swayed and jumped onto the ninth-grade golden lotus with his face calmly, then fell to the Bodhisattva who was meditating and put his head on her thigh.

Then he said shamelessly: "Bodhisattva, give me some "colored lotus seeds". I feel that the demon essence in my body has not been completely transformed, and it is very slow to practice the Buddha Yuan power. You see, my current strength is not even half of the original one. I feel embarrassed to say that I came from the South China Sea when I go out."

"How could that happen?" Guanyin Bodhisattva frowned slightly, looked at the black bear who was lying on her thigh and frowned and squeezed his face as if he was both angry and funny. He snorted, patted the black bear's furry head, and said, "Although I have never eaten "colorful lotus seeds" for monsters as strong as you before, if I remember correctly, you have already asked me five times. In addition, the first time I gave you food, you ate a total of six, seventy and forty-two "colorful lotus seeds" of me. Don't say that you were just a little demon king before, even the great saint of the demon clan came, I'm afraid you can be completely transformed. Humph! It must be your slander, right?"

"No, it must be that my demonic power was too stubborn." The black bear quickly raised his head, denied it, and said with a flattery: "This is the last time, Bodhisattva, I already feel that it is just a little bit short of it. There are seven more pills that can be completely transformed into Buddha's Yuanli."

You can't blame the black bear for being so shameless. This "colored lotus seed" is a good thing. It can not only improve physical fitness, but also make the Buddha's Yuanli more pure. I believe that with seven more, the black bear's Buddha's Yuanli will definitely be no less than that of ordinary Bodhisattvas. Of course, that's only a qualitative aspect. In terms of quantity, he is far inferior to those Bodhisattvas. Who can eat "colored lotus seeds" like him? I'm afraid that no one in Buddhism except Guanyin Bodhisattva does not have that blessing.

Guanyin Bodhisattva was obviously annoyed by the greedy black bear in front of him. This guy is a typical person who is not afraid of pain, scolds him shamelessly, and can't drive away. He is so silly that he can't helpless. He uses this excuse to ask for "colorful lotus seeds" to eat whenever he has time, and he doesn't know how to change it to a better excuse.

Although these "colored lotus seeds" were planted by oneself, the yield was not high, and the second was that there were too many people coming to ask for it. No Bodhisattva or Buddha could offend them, so there were naturally not many people who could stay. The preciousness of the Buddhist disciples could even be compared with Laojun's "Nine-Turn Golden Elixir".

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, who was helpless toward the black bear, closed his eyes and became purified. Who made him feel kind and harmed him for a moment! He became a Buddha on the "Nine-grade Golden Lotus".

The black bear was not discouraged at all. Seeing the Bodhisattva close his eyes and ignore him, he also tilted his head and lay on the edge of the ninth-grade golden lotus. He looked at the Bodhisattva in a daze. His claws intentionally or unintentionally scratched the hem of the Bodhisattva's clothes. This was how the "Colorful Lotus Seeds" came out in the past. When the Bodhisattva got upset, he would naturally have "Colorful Lotus Seeds" to eat.

The Lotus Pond of Merit is extremely quiet for a moment, and it looks like a harmonious and beautiful scenery between man and nature.

I don’t know how long it took, but the black bear had already narrowed his eyes, and was about to fall asleep, but suddenly he heard a slight sound of footsteps coming from a distance. He immediately raised his head alertly, but saw Muzha running from a distance.

This Muzha was originally the eldest brother of Nanhai, and the one who always stood behind the Bodhisattva was the one who was the one who was the one who had always stood behind the Bodhisattva.

However, this situation changed completely after the black bear came. On a dark and windy night, after being beaten and kicked by the black bear and clawed bear, Muzha, who was covered in wounds, took the initiative to resign from Changsui's identity to Guanyin Bodhisattva. Now his identity as his senior brother is still in name only.

Muzha walked to the lotus pond and looked at the lazy black bear in fear, but did not follow the winding corridor to the pavilion in the lake, because the black bear had sternly warned him that night that if he dared to get close to the Bodhisattva, he would break his legs.

Muzha bowed from afar and said, "Master, the mother of Lishan has arrived."

Guanyin Bodhisattva opened his eyes, nodded slightly, put away the rosary, stood up, and said, "Yeah, I understand, go down and see if Manjushri and the two Bodhisattvas, Samantabhadra, have you arrived? Don't let someone wait outside for a long time, saying that we have lost our etiquette."

"Yes, Master." After receiving the Bodhisattva's instructions, Muzha immediately turned around and left in a hurry. He didn't want to appear in the black bear's sight for a moment, and his heart was too shadowy.

The black bear didn't care about this Muzha at all. When he heard that an important guest was coming, the bear jumped up, closed his eyes, and lay in the pavilion with a dead dog, but he just couldn't get up. Anyway, it was everyone's shame.

Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at the bear lying on the ground, with a thigh still slamming, and really wanted to kick him into the lotus pond, but it was not in line with his identity. He had to bite his silver teeth and said hatefully: "Give it, why don't you stand up quickly, how can you lie there?"

When he heard that there were "Colorful Lotus Seeds", the black bear stopped cheating and immediately jumped up. The huge bear's head was pleasing to the chest of Guanyin Bodhisattva. He ate some small tofu. Now he is a bear body, what are he afraid of?

Moreover, after being repeatedly taught by Guanyin Bodhisattva, this action was gradually accepted by the Bodhisattva, thinking that it was a manifestation of black bear's love and intimacy. Now she no longer cared about being attacked by the chest.

According to the "Mysterious and Miao Jing of the Old Mother in Lishan", Lao Mother was transformed by Dou Dao, and was an ancient fairy in the upper eight caves. Dou Dao is the innate Yuanshi Yin God. Because its shape symbolizes the Tao body, it is also called the innate Dao Dao Zun. Dou Dao Zun is the round and great treasure moon on the top of Dou Dao, and is called Jiuling Taimiao Zhongtian Brahma Yuanjun. Because she was bathed in the Nine-Curved Hua Pool, she poured out a white jade turtle platform and a throne of divine throne. Dou Dao ascended to the throne, released Wuji light, transformed into nine-brick golden lotus, and appeared the Nine Emperor Dao Body, and was the mother of the Big Dipper. She was the seven-yuan star king, and her skills were influenced by the three realms and nourished all living beings. Therefore, she was also called Wuji Great Heavenly Lord.

In "Jixianlu", the old mother in Lishan was graceful and elegant, and she once made a pavilion in Lishan. During the Qin Dynasty, the First Emperor met him here and was amazed by his beauty and wanted to insult him! He was punished by his mother and then stopped. Since then, he turned into an old woman, and he called him his mother.

Just as the black bear put away the "Colorful Lotus Seeds", an old woman appeared beside the Merit Lotus Pool and was slowly walking towards the pavilion in the middle of the lake along the winding corridor.

"Sister Lishan, you are here." When Guanyin Bodhisattva saw the old woman coming, he hurriedly greeted her. When he passed by the black bear, he glared at him fiercely and thought to himself, "It's all this bear that makes him unable to go out to welcome Sister Lishan. Fortunately, he has a close relationship with his sister, so he doesn't care about these false gifts."

And the black bear naturally followed.

Standing behind Guanyin Bodhisattva, the black bear looked at the old mother in Lishan curiously. This old mother in Lishan deserves to be called the old mother. As expected, an old woman has an image of silver hair and chicken skin, kind and kind. She just doesn't know what her appearance is. She should be no worse than the one from the Bodhisattva, otherwise the knowledgeable Qin Shihuang would not tease her.

If you have the chance in the future, you must check her true appearance. However, now Black Bear dares not show any evil behavior, and is so concise that he has no trace of transcendence.

The old mother of Lishan held Guanyin Bodhisattva's hand warmly and said with a smile: "I invite my sister, how dare you not come if you are sisters! I just don't know what is important to find my sister this time?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled slightly and said, "Let's not talk about these things for now. When the two Bodhisattvas Samantabhadra Manjushri come, we are making plans. Sister Lishan, why not go to the pavilion first and try my newly made tea!"

The old mother of Lishan looked happy and nodded quickly and said, "It's so good!"

The two walked towards the pavilion with a close expression, like their best friend, but the old lady Lishan's mother looked a bit disgusting, making the black bear following them feel uncomfortable no matter how she looked at it.

When I came to the pavilion to sit down, there was naturally a boy who brought tea to Guanyin Bodhisattva. Guanyin Bodhisattva took action by himself. After a series of beautiful actions, he brewed a cup of tea for the old mother in Lishan and handed it over.

Li Shan’s mother took the teacup, slapped the tea, closed her eyes and savored it carefully. After a long time, she let out a breath and exclaimed: “Good tea.”

Guanyin Bodhisattva never made a sound when she was savoring the tea fragrance of her mother in Lishan. After hearing the praise of her mother in Lishan, she smiled and said, "Not long ago, I found a foreign-made thousand-year-old tea tree in Xiniu Hezhou. Although the tea produced by this old tea tree does not have any great magical effect, it is better than the fragrance. If my sister likes it, take some back when she leaves."

Li Shan’s mother was not polite and nodded and thanked: “Then I would like to thank my sister.”

"It should."

The two of them slowly started to taste the tea and chatted casually about some things, which were all home-clarifying words. The black bear was not very interested in these things, and they were drowsy.

It was half an hour after they finished tasting the tea. At this time, the mother of Lishan also noticed that the black bear who was a little restless after Guanyin Bodhisattva came, and asked, "Sister, the black bear behind you is so tight that she has never seen it before?"

When meeting important guests, the person who can stand behind the host will generally not have a low status. But she didn't know that it was Guanyin Bodhisattva who had not had time to drive away the black bear, so she walked in. Guanyin Bodhisattva had to temporarily let the black bear stand behind her for the sake of her own face.

Of course, Guanyin Bodhisattva would not point it out now. He smiled slightly and said, "He is the first demon king that Tang Monk met on his way west. I think he is not too evil by nature and has good strength. He can fight with the monkey Sun, so he took it down. He is considered one of my registered disciples." After saying that, he turned to the black bear and said sternly: "Why don't you come out to pay homage to my mother."

When the Bodhisattva said this, the black bear was stunned at first. Sui felt that today must be his lucky day. Not only did he get the "Colorful Lotus Seed", but after the Bodhisattva said this, he would be a disciple of Guanyin Bodhisattva in the future. Although the Bodhisattva did not regard him as an outsider before, he always carved the title of a mount, which was not right.
