Everyone clasped their hands and praised: "How good it is, how good it is. Peacock Daming King Bodhisattva has such great supernatural powers. It is my great fortune."
Tathagata nodded in agreement, turned around and asked the lamp-burning ancient Buddha next to him:
"Ancient Buddha, the peacock is about to transform into a human being, and it will need to eat to satisfy its hunger. Are the immortal dishes ready?"
The long eyebrows of the ancient Buddha of Ran Deng trembled: "It has been prepared for a long time, just waiting for the great Ming King Bodhisattva to enjoy."
"Okay," Tathagata stood up and left the throne, "Now I will teach people to prepare a banquet, and you and I will go outside the temple to welcome the peacock into the temple."
The Tathagata went down to the treasure hall, went out of the hall with Ran Deng and everyone in the hall, and headed towards Lingjiu Mountain outside the temple.
As soon as they walked out of the temple, the shadow of Kong Xuan's body covered the sun. Everyone came outside the temple and looked up at Kong Xuan at the foot of the mountain, waiting for the moment of his transformation.
The Tathagata and Ran Deng stood in front of everyone. Behind them, an Arhat asked: "Buddha, it is extremely difficult for animals to transform into human beings. The body of the Great Ming King Bodhisattva may be damaged. Do you need our protection?"
The Tathagata raised his hand to stop him: "No need, Peacock Great Ming King Bodhisattva is not an ordinary beast. His actions are protected by heaven. We can just watch quietly."
Arhat lowered his head slightly, clasped his hands and retreated into the crowd.
Everyone nodded secretly, praised and commented in a low voice, and Ran Deng reminded:
"Look, the Peacock King Ming is about to transform."
Everyone immediately stopped talking and looked up at Kong Xuan, who was as high as the mountain.
Kong Xuan noticed that everyone was coming, shook his body, raised his head and roared loudly, golden light radiated from his body, and his whole body turned into a pure white halo.
The light wheel shines brightly, illuminating the entire Lingjiu Mountain with a layer of white light. After a moment, the light gradually extinguishes, and the light wheel slowly shrinks until it becomes the size of an ordinary person.
The light wheel gradually changed, and finally turned into a human figure. The sunlight spread again, coating the edge of the human figure with a layer of golden light.
The figure is wearing a light green fairy robe, with hair and sleeves fluttering in the wind.
The white light faded, and a male face with a fair face and an indifferent expression appeared in front of everyone.
"Namo Peacock Great Ming King Bodhisattva!"
Kong Xuan opened his eyes, and everyone in Lingshan clasped their hands, leaned forward slightly, and saluted him.
Kong Xuan subconsciously put his hands together in return, and then realized that he had turned into a human form.
finalmente!
I finally have my hands again!
Kong Xuan almost burst into tears. Only after he had no hands did he realize how useful human hands are.
You can scratch wherever it itches without having to peck it with your mouth. Most parts of the body are out of reach. If you feel itchy, you can only find something to rub against...
Kong Xuan sighed with emotion, and when he came back to his senses, Tathagata and Ran Deng were approaching.
"Congratulations to the Buddha Mother for her successful transformation."
Tathagata opened his mouth with a smile, Ran Deng's eyebrows trembling slightly.
ah?来真的?
Kong Xuan twitched his eyebrows and simply followed Tathagata's words and said: "In that case, can I have a meeting gift?"
Tathagata was stunned when he heard the words, and the wrinkles on the face of the old man beside him spread out.
Tathagata's face returned to normal:
"We have a banquet arranged in Leiyin Temple, and we are specially waiting for the Buddha's mother to come and dine."
“Haha...”
Kong Xuan twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, feeling like goosebumps were forming on his skin, so he quickly changed the topic:
"Where are those Buddhas in the sky earlier?"
Ran Deng's face was full of smiles: "The Buddhas from all walks of life left early when you were refining the magic weapon."
Kong Xuan responded without any embarrassment, and Ran Deng stepped aside to get out of the way:
"Invite Daming King Bodhisattva and everyone to return to the temple and share the immortal delicacies."
Immortal food?
Kong Xuan was already hungry, so he took the effort to transform and became even more hungry. When he heard that there was immortal food to eat, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Okay, okay, I've been hungry for a long time, but I didn't know you..."
Halfway through his words, Kong Xuan realized that he still didn’t know the name of the old monk in front of him. Tathagata knew what was going on at a glance and introduced:
"This is the Buddha of the past, the ancient Buddha of Lantern."
Burning lamp ancient Buddha?
Kong Xuan was in awe, this ancient Buddha was a big shot.
西游记中,阿傩伽叶传给唐僧四众无字经书,就是燃灯古佛察觉。
He knew that the monks in Nanfanbuzhou were ignorant and did not know the wordless scriptures, so he taught his disciples, Venerable Bai Xiong, to find out.
Venerable Baixiong snatched the wordless scripture with his hand in mid-air, but Sun Wukong caught up with him. He was afraid of being hurt by the golden cudgel, so he left the scripture and left. Only then did Tang Monk and the four monks discover that the scripture had no words.
If there was no reminder from the Randen Ancient Buddha, the four monks might not have found out that the scriptures were wrong until they returned to the Tang Dynasty.
At that time, it would be great fun to open the wordless scripture in front of Tang Wang Li Shimin.
Kong Xuan smiled as he thought about it, saluted the Ancient Buddha of Burning Deng and said hello, and then said:
"I wonder if the dishes prepared by the ancient Buddha are enough? I am born with a big stomach, so I eat a lot."
Ran Deng chuckled and said: "Don't worry about it, Ming Dynasty King, there will be enough for you to taste."
Kong Xuan thanked the ancient Buddha, and Tathagata and Ran Deng asked Kong Xuan to go ahead. Kong Xuan was so hungry that he declined a little and couldn't wait to open the way.
The people in Lingshan on both sides put their palms together and saluted when Kong Xuan passed by, calling him Mother Buddha and Bodhisattva.
Kong Xuanqian sorriu e retribuiu as saudações uma por uma, e demorou muito para finalmente chegar a Lei Yin.
Leiyin Pagoda is located in the mountains. É magnífico e rodeado por nuvens auspiciosas. Os sinos à esquerda e à direita são melodiosos e o som Zen é claro. It is a scene like a wonderful Zen courtyard.
Kong Xuan estava com tanta fome que nem se importou com a paisagem, só queria comer rápido.
Quando ele olhou para os Budas e Bodhisattvas ao redor, seus olhos eram todos verdes e ele imaginou bolas de luz que poderiam ser engolidas.
Depois de entrar no portão da montanha, o antigo Buda da Lanterna também se preparava para realizar uma cerimônia de boas-vindas, mas foi interrompido pelo Tathagata.
Ran Deng perguntou confuso, e Tathagata explicou em voz baixa:
“O pavão estava com tanta fome que olhou para todos com os olhos brilhando, como antes de me engolir.
“Se você demorar mais um pouco, ele ficará com tanta fome que ficará tonto e usará seus poderes mágicos, e todos nesta montanha serão sugados para sua barriga. "
A cabeça de Ran Deng estava pesada no momento e ele não se atreveu a demorar mais, então rapidamente pediu a alguém que preparasse um banquete.
Todos se sentaram em fila no salão, e logo os guerreiros com bandejas e tigelas entraram, e iguarias e guloseimas foram colocadas uma a uma na frente das mesas de todos.
Depois que Kong Xuan se sentou, ele sentiu tanta fome que seu coração queimou. Ele fez o possível para reprimir seu desejo de devorar a todos, então simplesmente sentou-se na agulha e fechou os olhos para descansar.
Tathagata observou calmamente de lado e viu que Kong Xuan era capaz de conter seus hábitos naturais, e secretamente acenou com a cabeça em admiração.
Ok, ok, Peacock tem tanta concentração que pode ser considerado um praticante e há esperança para a [Grande Iluminação] no futuro!
O Tathagata extinguiu assim a ideia de usar meios para suprimir os desejos de Kong Xuan. Afinal, se ele pudesse se realizar, por que precisaria intervir com força?
Caso contrário, será autodestrutivo e criará uma fera selvagem e feroz com ressentimento, que não será bonita.
Quando Ran Deng viu Tathagata observando Kong Xuan, ele de repente entendeu e sorriu um para o outro.
As iguarias imortais foram servidas rapidamente, e Tathagata simplesmente fez alguns discursos antes do jantar para abrir o banquete.
Kong Xuan, que já estava segurando há muito tempo, ficou muito tempo sem ouvir nada e então ouviu o último chamado para comer. Ele rapidamente abriu os olhos e comeu a comida imortal à sua frente em um instante.
Not far away, powerful men stood waiting. Quando viram isso, correram para acrescentar comida e arroz. Kong Xuan nem piscou e todos foram eliminados em um instante.
The warriors couldn't help but be startled. Normalmente, Bodhisattvas e Arhats comiam apenas um pouco de sua comida. Se não fosse pelo desperdício, temo que muitas pessoas não o terminariam.
Eles nunca viram um Bodhisattva tão ansioso para comer...
