Chapter 244: The Six-foot Golden Body
"Sir, the God of Justice escorted Guanyin Bodhisattva to the gate of the Heavenly Prison and said... that the Jade Emperor ordered that the Bodhisattva be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison for ten days to punish her for her crimes."
When the divine official on duty at the Heavenly Prison reported this matter to Li Anran, he was so flustered that even his voice trembled.
That is the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva!
He actually committed murder in a moment of impulse and violated the Heavenly Law, and was even imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison!
Not only him, but all the gods, heavenly soldiers and generals in heaven were shocked and unbelievable when they first learned about this.
What follows is awe of the heavenly laws and regulations and of Yang Jian!
"Second brother actually did it!"
Li Anran was a little surprised. He stood up and walked towards the entrance of the Heavenly Prison. From a distance, he saw Yang Jian leading a group of grass-headed gods standing at the entrance of the Heavenly Prison.
Guanyin stood beside Yang Jian, walking gracefully with a calm expression. She did not seem to be escorted to the prison, but rather a guest there. When she saw Li Anran, she nodded slightly like Yang Jian did, saying, "The prison god."
"Buddha." Li Anran returned the salute respectfully. He did the superficial work without any ambiguity, but he felt amused in his heart.
Guanyin has the cultivation level of a Daluo Golden Immortal and is extremely intelligent and shrewd. In the past, Li Anran would not have been able to sense her emotional fluctuations at all.
But now, after listening to Hongjun Daozu's sermons several times in Kunpeng's life, his understanding of the Hehuan technique has become deeper, surpassing the Nine-tailed Fox Ancestor who created this technique. He is only one step away from advancing it to the eighth level, but he can vaguely perceive Guanyin's emotions -
Hatred, shame, anger, and murderous intent surged!
The apparent peace is just a disguise!
Li Anran personally sent Guanyin to the Heavenly Prison, and Guanyin's information also appeared in the Book of Punishment.
[Prisoner: Guanyin Bodhisattva of Chaoyin Cave, Luojia Mountain]
[Sin value: three stars]
[Cultivation: Daluo Jinxian Sixth Level]
[Status: In custody]
[Capture participation: 5%]
[Benefits: 1.6 billion experience points/day]
Although Guanyin killed all the living creatures in Tongtian River, she did not disperse their souls and instead sent them into the reincarnation tunnel.
In the judgment of the Book of Punishment, the sin value is not high, only reaching three stars.
As a representative of the orthodox Xuanmen sect, Guanyin takes the path of slaying the three corpses to attain enlightenment.
The cultivation level of the sixth level of Daluo Jinxian means that Guanyin has already killed one corpse and is on the verge of killing the second corpse.
With such strength, it’s no wonder that Tathagata values her so much!
After Yang Jian brought Guanyin here, he had to return to the Temple of the God of Justice to assess the merits and sins of the monsters in the Demon Master's Mansion and convict them. He did not stay there for long.
Before leaving, he told Li Anran: "The merits that Guanyin has accumulated over the years are more than enough to offset the karma of killing the water creatures of Tongtian River. However, she still accepted the punishment of being imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison for ten days. She is very likely here for Kunpeng."
Being able to lock Kunpeng up in the Heavenly Prison was something that was completely beyond Yang Jian's expectations.
Therefore, after Yang Jian had cheated Guanyin of her merits, he hesitated whether he should try to send Guanyin to the Heavenly Prison.
But on second thought, although the punishment of offsetting merits and demerits is severe, to outsiders who are not aware of the situation, it is far less shocking than imprisoning Guanyin in the Heavenly Prison.
Only then did he mention sending Guanyin to the Heavenly Prison as a warning to others, and he also increased the originally planned three days to ten days.
As a result, Guanyin agreed without hesitation.
Yang Jian was afraid that Li Anran didn't know the truth, so he reminded him, "When Hongyun Patriarch was attacked by Kunpeng, the Hongmeng Purple Qi in his hand disappeared. Kunpeng said that Hongyun Patriarch threw the Hongmeng Purple Qi into the chaos, and he didn't find it."
"However, many people suspect that he lied on purpose out of fear of being convicted of possessing a treasure. Guanyin may have come here just for the Hongmeng Purple Qi."
"This kind of thing should happen a lot in the next ten days. As long as they don't want to rescue Kunpeng, just pretend that they didn't notice it. If they dare to rescue him, make some noise and I will come over immediately."
The best way to deal with an enemy like Kunpeng is to immediately send him to the Demon-Slaying Platform and cut him into pieces with a thousand swords to break up his soul, so as to avoid any more trouble.
But it’s not easy to do this!
Kunpeng has clues to the Hongmeng purple energy. Who in the Three Realms wouldn't be jealous and excited?
Yang Jian reported to the Jade Emperor and asked him to temporarily lock Kunpeng in the Heavenly Prison, and then send him to the Demon-Slaying Platform to be executed in public after ten days.
Because he knew that Li Anran's opportunity was closely related , he gave Li Anran a chance to get a great opportunity.
It also leaves time for the Jade Emperor and even Xuanmen and Lingshan to do everything they want to do.
This is also an unavoidable compromise.
Within these ten days, they will definitely take action.
Add to that other powerful people who have shown interest in this matter, the Heavenly Prison must be very lively during this period!
Li Anran was a little surprised: "Second brother, the saints know everything and can see the past, present and future. Didn't they tell their disciples the whereabouts of Hongmeng Purple Qi?"
Yang Jian said: "Hongmeng Purple Qi is related to the matter of becoming a saint. Even a saint cannot detect its whereabouts. Moreover, Daozu Hongjun will not allow a saint to disclose this matter."
"I see."
Li Anran hesitated for a moment and said in a voice transmission: "Hongmeng Purple Qi is not with Kunpeng. It may still be in the hands of Ancestor Hongyun."
He had already read through Kunpeng's life and was very sure that the Hongmeng Purple Qi was not in Kunpeng's hands.
Then there are only two possibilities left!
Either the Hongmeng Purple Qi was really thrown into the chaos by the Red Cloud Ancestor!
Either what the Hongyun Patriarch threw into the chaos was fake, and the real Hongmeng purple energy has been hidden by him somewhere!
Even if it is the first possibility, Patriarch Hongyun might have secretly made some marks or something.
For example, Master Tongtian secretly marked the Chaos Bell, so that Holy Mother Wudang and others were able to find the Chaos Bell in the endless chaos.
By this calculation, there is a 70% chance that the Hongmeng Purple Qi is in the hands of Old Ancestor Hongyun. At least he also has a way to find the Hongmeng Purple Qi.
It was based on this speculation that Kunpeng rushed to Hulu Mountain as soon as Hongyun Patriarch rebuilt his body and was resurrected!
Yang Jian was startled and quickly sent a message: "Brother Li Anran, be careful with your words!"
Both Patriarch Hongyun and Kunpeng said that the Hongmeng Purple Qi was thrown into the chaos by Patriarch Hongyun and disappeared.
Even if others have doubts, they have to consider whether it is worth offending Old Ancestor Hongyun and Kunpeng for this possibility.
Now if an insider like Li Anran suddenly appeared and said something like this, not only would Patriarch Kunpeng Hongyun be in danger, but Li Anran himself would not be an exception.
Li Anran said, "Second brother, don't worry. I know the seriousness of the matter. I only told you about this matter."
Yang Jian heaved a sigh of relief and said seriously, "Brother Li Anran, you must keep this to yourself and don't tell anyone else. Proving the Dao is not indispensable to me. If you have a chance to get this Hongmeng Purple Qi, take it. If you need my help, just ask."
Li Anran smiled and said, "Second brother, I am not interested in the Hongmeng Purple Qi. Moreover, I only know that the Hongmeng Purple Qi is not in Kunpeng's hands, and I don't know where it is exactly."
Yang Jian said: "That's good."
Brothers, one of you said, "Achieving enlightenment is not indispensable to me," and the other said, "I am not interested in the Hongmeng Purple Qi."
If it gets out, all the powerful people in the three realms will definitely sneer at it, and no one will resemble it.
But, this is indeed the fact!
Yang Jian was determined to rectify the laws of heaven and earth and set rules for all beings in the three realms. Whether he could become a saint or not was secondary to him.
Li Anran has the Book of Punishing Evil, so he can become a saint without the Hongmeng Purple Qi.
Neither of them was very interested in the Hongmeng Purple Qi. If I get it, I'm lucky, and if I lose it, it won't be a pity.
After giving these instructions, Yang Jian rode his cloud back to the Temple of the God of Justice.
Li Anran started to look up Guanyin's life.
Guanyin's background is similar to that of the Golden Spirit Mother we saw before. She was born from the first ocean tide between heaven and earth and was nurtured by the innate energy of creation.
It is an innate creature, but it is the kind of innate creature that transforms later.
During the great calamity between wizards and liches, he fled to Kunlun Mountain to avoid the war between wizards and liches. He was later noticed by Yuanshi Tianzun and accepted as his disciple.
After the great calamity of wizards and liches was over, Guanyin and a group of fellow disciples were ordered by Yuanshi Tianzun to go out to gain experience and preach, and they established a great reputation and were called the "Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect".
It sounds impressive, but actually it’s because their cultivation is too poor!
People like Nan Ji Xian Weng and Yun Zhongzi have already become Daluo Jinxian, so they are not among these twelve golden immortals!
It was also during this process of training and preaching that they were contaminated with a large amount of cause and effect, which led to the subsequent troubles in the mortal world and the catastrophe of the Conferred Gods.
After the catastrophe of the Conferred Gods, Guanyin, Samantabhadra, Manjusri, and Juliusun, who had been unable to break through to the level of Daluo Jinxian, were instigated by Randang and defected to the Western Religion.
Later, when Duobao transformed into a Buddha and was arguing with Dipankara over the Mahayana and Hinayana Buddhism, he joined Duobao Tathagata and became one of the three great bodhisattvas.
After that, he went to the mortal world to preach, planned the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, instructed the King to refine the human elixir, and enlightened He Xiangu, one of the Eight Immortals...
The greatest gain that Guanyin got after joining the Western religion was the "Six-foot-tall Golden Body Method" created by Jieyin Zhunti.
Although Jie Yin Zhunti founded the Western Religion, it was later renamed Buddhism to compete with Taoism.
But in essence, they are not much different from Xuanmen, they all originated from Daozu Hongjun!
The path to enlightenment taken by Buddhist disciples is the same as that of Taoist sects. It is nothing more than one of the three ways of attaining enlightenment through force, attaining enlightenment by beheading the three corpses, or attaining enlightenment through merit and virtue!
Also, because there has been no successful example of proving the Tao through force, and there is not that much merit to be gained through proving the Tao through virtue, the vast majority of people take the path of proving the Tao by beheading the three corpses!
And to attain enlightenment by slaying the three corpses one not only needs to cultivate one's understanding, but also must have an innate magic weapon to slay the corpses!
However, there are only a limited number of innate spiritual treasures in the world, and not all of them can be used to chop corpses!
Therefore, Jie Yin Zhunti created the method of the six-foot-tall golden body, which condensed into a six-foot-tall golden body with incense, merits, and vows. It can not only replace the innate spiritual treasure to behead corpses, but also make beheading corpses easier!
The disadvantage is that it is easily affected by the wishes of mortals. Once there is no incense offering, the power of the six-foot-tall golden body will be greatly reduced, and it may even backfire on the original body!
The first corpse that Guanyin, Manjusri, Samantabhadra, and Juliusun beheaded all used golden bodies that were six feet tall.
She has worked so hard over the years just to maintain and strengthen her six-foot-tall golden body.
Li Anran had seen Guanyin's six-foot-tall golden body in her life. The strength of her body was comparable to that of a Daluo Jinxian who took the path of proving one's identity through force.
Combined with Guanyin's main body of refining qi and concentrating soul, it can produce an effect where one plus one is far greater than two.
Just then, Li Anran suddenly heard a familiar name.
"Kasyapa was reincarnated in the Southern Continent? His name is Li Xiuyuan? Holy shit! Isn't that Jigong? Without the monkey, is Tathagata going to use Jigong to fight Wu Tian?"
Li Anran was a little surprised, but not shocked.
He had long known that Jigong's previous life was the Dragon-Subduing Arhat among the Eighteen Arhats, and that Venerable Kashyapa was the Dragon-Subduing Arhat. He just didn't expect that Tathagata would use him to fight against Wu Tian!
As for why the greedy and bribe-seeking Kasyapa could be reincarnated as the tattered Jigong who saves all living beings, it is even less surprising!
What kind of person was Jin Chanzi, Tang Monk’s previous life?
Dare to question the Dharma taught by the Tathagata at the Ullambana Festival!
Even when Zhen Yuanzi mentioned it, everyone praised it.
But the Tang Monk who was reincarnated was stubborn and pedantic, easily influenced by others, and unable to distinguish right from wrong, black from white.
The same is true for Jigong and Jiaye.
They are the same person, and yet they are not the same person!
This is why all the gods and Buddhas are afraid to come down to the mortal world to experience tribulations and rebuild themselves!
Of the two memories, which is primary? Which is secondary?
After you achieve success, are you still yourself?
No one can explain this!
"We have to find a time to tell Monkey and Wu Tian the news."
Li Anran was just waiting for Wutan to display his divine power and lock all the gods and Buddhas of the three realms into the Heavenly Prison, but he didn't want any accidents to happen.
Guanyin's life soon came to the time when Taibai Jinxing went to Lingshan to convey his will.
Li Anran noticed that when Guanyin left, Tathagata gave her a Buddhist bead and asked Guanyin to carry it with her.
If nothing unexpected happens, he should use it to inquire about the whereabouts of Hongmeng Purple Qi from Kunpeng.
This is also the reason why Guanyin was so happy to accept being imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison by Yang Jian.
However, in Guanyin's original plan, she only needed to be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, but now she has an additional task to offset her merits and demerits!
This offsetting of merits and demerits has no effect on the people of Xuanmen, but it is a heavy blow to Guanyin who has cultivated the "Six-foot-tall Golden Body".
No wonder Guanyin’s hatred and murderous intent could hardly be concealed, and was detected by him using the Hehuan technique!
Li Anran briefly read through the life story of Guanyin and threw it aside.
To be honest, Guanyin's life quality is very high, much higher than that of the Golden Spirit Mother!
In her life, not only did the Three Pure Ones preach, but also Jie Yin and Zhunti preached!
Taoism, Buddhism and even Confucianism are all included!
But now, Li Anran has Hongjun Daozu preaching, and the Three Pure Ones guiding and Zhunti, so it’s not so appealing anymore!
He has no time to waste on Guanyin in ten days!
And in the cell.
Although Guanyin was imprisoned, she was different from ordinary prisoners. Not only was she not tied up with magic ropes, but even her magic power was not restricted.
She sat cross-legged in meditation for a while, and when she saw Li Anran walking away, she took out the Buddhist beads that Tathagata had given her.
Buzz!
The Buddhist beads trembled slightly, and a ray of Buddha's light floated out from the beads, flying silently towards Cell A.
