Chapter 87 The Maitreya Buddha with Hair
After receiving the greetings, the spider demon descended before Yang Jiao.
Without saying a word, he first knelt down deeply, then raised his tear-streaked face and thanked her:
"Thank you, Master, for giving me this opportunity!"
She could feel a sense of clarity throughout her body, and the bottleneck in her cultivation suddenly disappeared, making her feel that she had gained even more insights.
Yang Jiao quickly helped her up, and was quite pleased with herself.
Unexpectedly, the spider demon actually leaped over the dragon gate with her perseverance. She exclaimed happily:
"You were able to jump over because of your own ability, it has nothing to do with me. Make the most of this opportunity and go back to train."
After saying that, she noticed the White Bone Demon who had been keeping her head down. Yang Jiao did not think that the White Bone Demon lacked perseverance.
They just have different backgrounds and upbringing.
She tried to comfort the White Bone Demon:
"This time is nothing compared to next time. The fact that you can sense the presence of laws above is enough to prove your extremely high level of comprehension. The Dragon Gate is always there. Try again next time."
The White Bone Demon gave a soft "hmm".
They left together with the spider demon.
She didn't come away empty-handed; at least she gleaned some insights from it.
but……
The gap between me and my senior sister is only going to widen.
Her state of mind had changed somewhat; she couldn't blame others, but jealousy was impossible to hide.
Bai Gu's heart was heavy as he thought of his senior sister's repeated attempts to go out and seek opportunities for cultivation.
Is it because I'm too complacent about having a master, magical artifacts from her, and her promises that I don't realize how difficult it is for demons to survive in the world?
She looked up at the spider demon, whose joy was overflowing, and whispered:
"Senior sister, I want to go out and try my luck..."
This whole ordeal took two days.
Only one day remains.
Yang Jiao was worried about where to go and was thinking about going to Goddess Nuwa to get a blessing and a buff.
Two uninvited guests arrived at the mouth of the Guanjiang River.
The heavenly soldiers lying in ambush discovered this and immediately shouted:
"Someone has trespassed into the mouth of the Guanjiang River again! Follow me and wipe him out!"
Before he could finish speaking, Tian Jiang slapped him on the back of the head from behind, angrily saying:
"Are you blind? That's divine light! Divine light!"
"Get out of there quickly! If you're discovered, the Immortal Lord will skin you alive!"
Her legs were numb from squatting, when she saw two golden lights leap from the horizon and land beside her instantly.
The river god looked at the two curly-haired people who suddenly appeared in front of him. Although their equipment was different from the gods he usually saw, and their appearances were also somewhat different, their aura was no less than that of a Golden Immortal.
He couldn't help but lean closer to Yang Jiao and ask:
"Which celestial deity do these two curly-haired people hold?"
Curly hair...
Yang Jiao looked at the benevolent-smiling man before her, fearing he would say something like, "Fellow Daoist, you have a connection with our Western Sect~", and whispered her identity to the River God:
"That big curly-haired guy is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva of the Western Paradise."
belch!
The river god burped so hard that he almost swallowed the Heavenly Mandate Merit he was holding.
I just want to say one thing:
How did you manage to have so many influential friends at such a young age?
Ksitigarbha was overjoyed to see Yang Jiao. He had felt enlightened after receiving a few words of guidance from her last time, and he still felt a sense of incompleteness.
After returning to the sect and recounting her story, the two masters urged him to persuade Yang Jiao to join the Western Sect. To this end, he searched the entire Three Realms but could not find her.
In the end, they all remembered the "Nuwa's Salvation Scripture" and went to the Goddess Nuwa to ask for help in saving millions of human souls in exchange for Yang Jiao's approximate address.
Fortunately, he saw her as soon as he arrived at the mouth of the Guanjiang River.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva spoke to Yang Jiao with utmost sincerity:
"Fellow Daoist, it's been so long, do you still remember me?"
After saying that, without waiting for Yang Jiao to speak, he pulled out the person who had been silent from behind him.
Yang Jiao then got a good look at the second person who had arrived.
One glance was enough to make me lose my composure.
The person dragged out by Ksitigarbha was a round-bellied child with a wide grin that revealed his teeth but not his eyes.
Those squinty-eyed eyes are quite something.
Yang Jiao took a step back, thinking to herself:
"Maitreya Buddha!"
"The kids' version!"
Maitreya, the future leader of Buddhism.
I still have hair...
The smiling Maitreya, seeing that his appearance had startled the little girl whom Ksitigarbha had praised to the skies, causing her to back away, asked with undiminished amusement:
Why do you have that expression, fellow Daoist?
"No, no, I'm just not used to seeing you with hair."
"Hair? I've always had hair." Maitreya touched his hair with his chubby little hand, puzzled. "Is this some profound Zen saying? Why can't I understand it?"
Yang Jiao composed herself, avoiding looking at the Maitreya Buddha with hair, and asked Ksitigarbha:
Why did you come looking for me?
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva stepped forward happily and said:
"Fellow Daoist's method is excellent. Millions of the dead in that boundless sea of blood have been saved, which angered the Styx Ancestor so much that he personally came to destroy the prayer wheel."
Yang Jiao panicked upon hearing this. If that thing were destroyed, wouldn't that mean all of Nuwa's hard work would be wasted? She quickly asked:
"And then? Did it stay?"
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva nodded and reassured him:
"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, just as the Styx Ancestor was about to destroy it, before my master could even come out, the Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi appeared out of nowhere and started fighting with him."
"They're still fighting in the sea of blood, Wuxia is turning the prayer wheel."
Yang Jiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing her concern for the prayer wheel, Maitreya felt deeply gratified. After all, the prayer wheel had brought them much convenience. Remembering this kindness, he stepped forward and bowed to Yang Jiao in gratitude:
"Thank you, fellow Daoist, for creating such a meritorious artifact for my Western Sect. In the future, after I take over the Western Sect, I will definitely treat you as an honored guest."
What?
Yang Jiao looked at Maitreya.
This kid just said he's taking over Western religion?
Am I... being too optimistic?
Maitreya saw the doubt in her eyes, and a hint of barely perceptible pride flashed in his narrowed eyes as he said:
"This is a secret of my Western religion, but your contribution is enough for me to tell you about it."
Maitreya gazed towards the distant west, his smile growing even more serene as he said:
"To be honest, my masters have long ago decided that after they abdicate, they will hand over the Western Sect to me..."
Yang Jiao suffered another major setback.
no……
Legend has it that Maitreya Buddha has a big belly that can tolerate all things under heaven, and he always has a smiling face and squinty eyes. Could it be that he thinks that since he is the head of Buddhism and has already sat on half of the throne, there are no more worries in the world?
Yang Jiao couldn't help but ask him:
Do you know the Taoist Ran Deng?
Do you know the Taoist Master Duobao?
You're so foolish!
Dipankara Buddha went to Buddhism and directly took your place, becoming Dipankara Buddha.
He hadn't even warmed his seat yet, and you thought you'd finally made it to the top after he became the Buddha Dipankara and abdicated?
And then another Daoist named Duobao appeared and directly became the Buddha.
You've always been a Buddhist prince!
Could there possibly be a prince in the Three Realms who has existed for billions of years?!
The future Buddha is someone who will never become a Buddha in the present; it's just a huge promise being made.
