Chapter 137 The Reincarnation of Jin Chanzi
He cultivated Buddhism for countless years before attaining enlightenment, creating Buddhas and gods. Now he is the master of all Buddhas, and has few rivals in the entire world.
However, when he faced the white-haired old man, all his strength was completely suppressed, as if he had instantly turned back into a little monk.
This power is mysterious and formidable.
This power has surpassed the Buddha's imagination; it seems it shouldn't even exist in the bodies of immortals and gods!
"I heard you have some dissatisfaction with the Jade Emperor?"
Zhang Yun didn't waste any words and spoke directly.
These words exploded in Tathagata's mind like a bombshell. He quickly regained his composure and simply chuckled.
"The Supreme God of the Heavens, the Emperor of All Heavens, the King of Immortals, the Lord of Saints, holds the power of the ascension and descent of all heavens, governs the mechanism of the creation of all things, sets the standard for the forbidden scriptures of the Three Caverns and Four Auxiliaries, and possesses the supreme and wondrous divine power of non-action. He is the Supreme Lord of the Three Realms and all gods and immortals of the Three Caverns. How could a little Buddha possibly harbor such a thought of overstepping his bounds?"
"Don't give me that nonsense." Zhang Yun said calmly, "The Jade Emperor's position is even higher than yours. Don't tell me you haven't thought about replacing him."
"Even if we hadn't considered it, it's a fact that under the oppression of the Heavenly Court, the influence of Buddhism in the world has never been widespread."
"Don't worry, I'm not your enemy. I have a way to spread your Buddhist scriptures to the most influential country in Jambudvipa."
Passing on the scriptures!
When these two words reached the Buddha, they gave him a jolt.
It must be admitted that spreading Buddhist teachings to the human world was an idea he had always had, but unfortunately, the Jade Emperor, in order to maintain balance in the Three Realms, did not want the Buddhist influence to penetrate so deeply into the human world.
Therefore, this plan has never been realized.
If any other deity had said this to Buddha, Buddha would certainly not have believed it.
He was certain that the person standing before him possessed magical power that surpassed that of all the immortals and Buddhas, and even exceeded that of the Three Pure Ones.
I just don't know where he came from.
"I'll handle things with Heaven and Laozi. You just need to answer me: yes or no?"
From beginning to end, Zhang Yun didn't waste a single word; he got straight to the point.
"The Buddha is compassionate, and saving all sentient beings is my lifelong wish. Since you are doing this for the sake of all living beings, we should cooperate with you."
In a short period of time, Buddha also thought about it a lot, but in the end, he decisively agreed.
If his Buddhist teachings could be widely spread in Jambudvipa, it would naturally be of great benefit to his status.
Whether it succeeds or not, Buddha has no reason not to agree; after all, it is an opportunity.
"I wonder what I can do for you, benefactor?" Buddha asked sincerely, his hands clasped together.
To be able to sit in the position of the Lord of Ten Thousand Buddhas, Tathagata is indeed a very shrewd and calculating person.
Moreover, this matter is quite simple; the white-haired old man would not help him without reason or expectation of reward.
"Talking to smart people is so much easier."
Zhang Yun thought to himself, then pointed in a direction.
"In the Eastern Continent, there is a country called Aolai. Aolai is a coastal country, and there is a mountain in the sea called Huaguo Mountain."
"At the top of Huaguo Mountain, there is a spiritual stone containing a life from another world. From the moment it was conceived, this life was subtly controlled by humans, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon, until it broke out of the stone."
"Because it is controlled by others, when its life breaks through the stone, its nature will be extremely unruly and bloodthirsty. If it is allowed to develop, it will eventually bring great disaster to the Three Realms."
A glint of light flashed in the Buddha's eyes as he slowly spoke, "Such an evil spirit need not be allowed to be born. For the sake of all living beings, this humble monk will personally go and make the trip..."
“No.” Zhang Yun interrupted Tathagata’s words by raising his hand: “What I mean is that spirit stones are hard to come by now, so we must let the life contained in the spirit stone come into the world. However, from now on, I will have the higher-ups in the Three Realms secretly observe any unusual movements of the spirit stone.”
“From the moment he is born, let the Three Realms guide him toward goodness and eradicate his evil nature. If that doesn’t work, it’s not too late to completely kill him.”
Zhang Yun had considered nipping the life in the bud in the bud, but doing so would inevitably alert the enemy and would only be a temporary solution.
He can't find the source of any of the foreign objects. As long as the enemy is still in the shadows, even if he destroys that spirit stone, the person behind it can plant a second, a third...
Therefore, destroying the spirit stones is not very meaningful.
If you can win over the individual life forms with their own thoughts within the spirit stone, you will surely obtain a lot of useful information.
If not, let the Six-Eared Macaque take its place without anyone noticing.
So from the moment Zhang Yun saw the Six-Eared Macaque, he had already decided to gradually grow the life in the spirit stone into a monkey exactly like the Six-Eared Macaque!
Now, Zhang Yun has taken the first step in guiding the development of the spirit stone's life.
"Call Guanyin over."
Zhang Yun briefly explained his plan for Mount Ling to the Buddha. He then scanned the world with his divine sense and ultimately chose the Thousand-Transformation Guanyin of Mount Putuo.
"Buddha, why have you summoned me here?"
Guanyin's eyebrows are like crescent moons, her eyes like twin stars, her jade-like face is naturally joyful, and her lips are a touch of red—this is the typical image of a beautiful woman in the world.
But Zhang Yun knew that Guanyin was actually a man, and that he had far more than one face.
This is also the origin of the name "Thousand-Transformation Guanyin".
When Guanyin saw Zhang Yun, her eyes changed rapidly for a moment, but she remained calm and listened attentively to the Buddha's narration, nodding slightly from time to time.
