Far off Guang Cheng Zi gazed upon Putuo Mountain, looking at the flourishing temples and the numerous fishermen from the nearby islands who braved the hardships to come here to pray, his heart filled with anger.
He had been to Putuo Mountain before, but it wasn't as bustling then.
What does this mean? Putuo Mountain was quiet during the period of Chuanzhen School, but became lively under Buddhism?
"Chi Hang, come out to see me!" He wouldn't strike ordinary mortals; there are many Buddhist believers on Putuo Mountain. If there was a big fight, the karmic consequences would be too heavy.
Not long ago, Guanyin Bodhisattva, who had already put on women's clothes, sat on a nine-tier lotus throne and slowly ascended into the sky. By his side stood a strong guardian, who was none other than Wei Mu, the disciple of the Taiji God.
After the completion of the 'Bian Shen' (The Ascension of the Deities), Wei Hu left Han state and went to Ling Mountain.
Beforehand, he had a very thick filter for the Western religion and Buddhism. After actually joining, he found that it was nothing like what he thought.
Wei Mu and Ju Liunsun have a somewhat incompatible destiny, and therefore cannot enjoy the protection of this former Chuanzhen golden immortal.
The moonlight was somewhat dissatisfied with Wei Hu's action of leaving Han state directly. "You were quite satisfied when you resigned, but I am the leader in Han state and in Ling Mountain as well, right?"
She did not take any action against him; she simply intentionally or unintentionally regarded Wei Hu and the many disciples of Jie School as part of a circle.
Standing alone among the tightly surrounded disciples of Jie School, Wei Hu, an individual disciple of Chuanzhen School, had a situation that can be imagined. His temperament was strong and he refused to give in, making it difficult for him to get along in Ling Mountain. Therefore, he decided to take refuge under the protection of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Since they were all familiar with each other, he chose to work at the branch office instead of being alienated at the headquarters.
Originally, Guanyin Bodhisattva should have taken Mu Za as a disciple. But now, Mu Za is still with Manjushri, blending in the Chuanzhen School. To just jump ship directly? Now that the Great Primordial Buddha is holding back his anger in his heart, even Manjushri dares not jump ship, let alone Mu Za.
Although Guanyin Bodhisattva felt that she and Wei Mu were not destined to be together, she often gave him advice as a fellow disciple of Chuanzhen School.
Guanyin Bodhisattva's wisdom, enlightenment, and talent are top-notch in the Daoist School. After joining Buddhism, she further cultivated the strengths of both Buddhist and Daoist traditions. Not only did this fulfill her grand vow of "thousands of places where one prays, thousands of places where one receives answers," but it also enhanced her thirty-two forms and fourteen fearlessness.
Now with her accumulated knowledge and abilities bursting forth, her journey towards becoming a Great Dharma Golden Immortal has reached its mid-stage.
Wei Hu saw Guang Cheng Zi and calmly bowed his hands in greeting: "I am now known as Guanyin, a poor monk. I did not expect you, so please forgive me for the inconvenience."
Guang Cheng Zi looked at Wei Hu and found him to be quite reasonable. Since the Chuanzhen School had previously rejected Wei Hu, now that he has turned to any place, Guang Cheng Zi cannot say much about it.
Now all eyes were on Guanyin: "Ci Hang, do you still recognize this brother of yours? After all these years of being a brother, isn't your regard for him less important than for a few ordinary people? Can't one save the world in the Chuanzhen School? Can't one save the common people of the world?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva's intention was manifested quite clearly during the attack on the Jia'ao Bao in the pretense of the False Chaotic Bell. As a witness, Guang Cheng Zi was not surprised, but he believed that Guanyin abandoning the Chuanzhen School to join Buddhism meant that it was not good, lacked compassion, and this was something he could not tolerate.
Guanyin Bodhisattva looked directly into his eyes: "Brother really believes that if I stay in the Chuanzhen School, I can save all sentient beings?"
Guang Cheng Zi was silent. The Chuanzhen School had always been about auspiciousness and the face of the sage, but it wasn't that they had never saved the common people. It's just that they did so incidentally, helping those with good fortune and leaving those with bad fortune to their fate. From the very beginning to the end, the Chuanzhen School had never made saving the world its main purpose as a major teaching.
Teachers like Qingxu Daode Zhenjun directly snatching top disciples is not something the commoners would appreciate. There are only a few Dao De Jins after all.
He waved his hand: "I don't want to argue with you verbally. Your goal is not in the Chuanzhen School, and I won't force you. But the teachings of my teacher to you for many years can't be false, right? Come back to the Chuanzhen School with me, apologize to our teacher, and then go or stay as you wish."
Guanyin Bodhisattva shook his head resolutely: "The way of the Tao cannot be changed. My path is in Buddhism, not in the Chuanzhen School, and I will not go back to the Chuanzhen School with you."
Apologize? It's not the time for an apology now! He is now a disciple of Buddhism, apologizing to the Yellow Origin God would lose face for Jie Ying and Zhitui. Although Zhitui doesn't care about face, it's different for himself.
Guanyin Bodhisattva going to apologize now will not mend the strained master-disciple relationship with the Yellow Origin God, but it will greatly offend Jie Ying and Zhitui. If he were to do such a thing, it would be very foolish.
"Hahaha---A fine 'the way of the Tao is unchangeable.' Guang Chengzi laughed heartily: 'I've always thought that my junior brother has a very strong will to pursue the Tao. Today, I finally get to witness it firsthand."
Guang Chenzi made a furious expression, and a faint red light suddenly appeared in the middle of his forehead, which was not like the all-seeing eyes of Yang Jiajun or Wen Zhong - it was a kind of mysterious and unfathomable ability.
Guanyin Bodhisattva was secretly using Buddhist power to strengthen the lotus throne under her feet, preparing to defend against the Fan Tian Yin. She did not expect Guang Chengzi's fighting style to suddenly change.
The red light in front of him abruptly expanded, like an ocean of the sea, as if it was everywhere, surging from multiple spaces and filling his entire field of vision.
The red light was mysterious and unpredictable, moving extremely fast. Suddenly, it was right in front of him.
What was this technique? Guanyin Bodhisattva found it perplexing. He recited Buddhist mantras, gently sending Wei Hu away with a palm strike, and then stood firm to meet the attack, as his nine-tier lotus throne rose up with ten thousand beams of golden light. From bottom to top, it enveloped him completely before forming a seven-colored canopy that directly opposed the red light emanating from Guang Cheng Zi's brow.
The sharpness of the red light was beyond imagination. As the barriers he had set up were repeatedly broken through, Guanyin Bodhisattva's shoulders shook, and the Buddhist divinity appeared. It seemed as if he had a thousand arms, each one grasping different mantras and techniques. Accompanied by a Buddhist mantra, the myriad of techniques not only allowed him to skillfully escape the range of the red light but also unleashed thousands of binding spells at Guang Chengzi, some thick, some precise, and some vast.
Guang Chengzi paid no attention to them. The countless spells and techniques in his eyes seemed like a plain road, and with a step forward, he easily broke free from the bindings.
"Very good, very good." Guanyin Bodhisattva was also aware of the Sheng Hua Yu Cang fragment. He just didn't expect that in just over two and a half years, Guang Chengzi could master the techniques in the fragment to this extent.
Guang Chengzi wanted to make one last attempt to persuade him: "Ci Hang, my junior brother."
Guanyin Bodhisattva refused resolutely: "Brother knows, my name is Guanyin."
One name completely cut off Guang Chengzi's numerous fantasies. As a peak of the Great Dharma Golden Immortal realm, he carried many primordial treasures and now had many techniques from the Sheng Hua Yu Cang fragment. No longer holding back, even Guanyin Bodhisattva, in the middle stage of Great Dharma Golden Immortals, quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.
