Everyone looked up and saw that Guanyin Bodhisattva''s virtues were complete, full of wisdom, and his whole body was shining with golden light. She wears pearls on her head, wears a bright fragrance ring on her body, her dark cloud-like hair is cleverly curled into a dragon-shaped bun, the embroidery belt flutters lightly, and the colorful phoenix feathers sway in the wind. She was wearing a jasper button and a Su Luo robe, shrouded in auspicious light; her brocade skirt, decorated with gold thread, surrounded by auspiciousness. Her eyebrows are curved like a crestoon, and her eyes are as bright as twin stars. There is always natural joy on his face, and his red lips are delicate and beautiful. The pure bottle in her hand is full of sweet dew every year, and the drooping willows inserted diagonally next to it are evergreen.She saved eight kinds of sufferings and saved all sentient beings with great compassion. She guards the mountains and lives in the South China Sea. She rescues hardships and responds to requests. Thousands of saints and spirits respect her. She likes orchids and purple bamboo, and loves fragrant vines. She is the Lord of Compassion on Luojia Mountain and the Guanyin Bodhisattva in the Chaoyin Cave.


    Seeing this, the Buddha was full of joy and said:"Other people can''t go. Only a venerable with vast magic like you, Guanyin Master, can be qualified for this trip."


    Guanyin Bodhisattva asked:"What instructions or warnings do disciples have for going to the Eastern Tang Dynasty this time?"


    Buddha replied:"On this trip, you need to carefully explore the road. You can''t fly in the clouds. You need to travel between half clouds and half fog, witness the scenery with your own eyes, and keep in mind the distance of the itinerary, and remind the person who reads the scriptures. But I''m afraid that the road to the scriptures is full of difficulties and obstacles. I will give you five magic treasures to help you."


    Then he ordered the two venerables Anu and Gaya to take it out."Brocade ross"One piece and"Nine-ring tin staff"One, said to Guanyin Bodhisattva:"Please hand over these two treasures to the person who received the scriptures for personal use. If he is determined to put on my robe, he can avoid the pain of reincarnation; if he holds my tin staff, he can avoid poisoning."


    Guanyin Bodhisattva respectfully accepted these magic weapons. The Buddha took out three hoops and handed them to Guanyin Bodhisattva and said:"These three babies are called''Band-tightening Spell''Although the appearance is the same, the uses are different. I have''Gold, tight, forbidden''Three spells. If you meet demons with powerful magic power on the road, you should persuade them to be good and follow the people who take the scriptures to become apprentices. If they don''t obey, you put this hoop on their heads, and it will automatically be embedded in the flesh. Then, according to their corresponding spells, they will feel that their eyes are swollen and painful, their headaches are about to crack, and their heads seem to be about to crack open, so that they can be forced to join our Buddhist sect."


    After hearing this, the Bodhisattva was overjoyed, bowed respectfully and left, and then summoned the Hui''an walker to go with him.


    The Hui''an walker held an iron stick weighing a thousand jins and followed him closely as the demon warrior beside the Bodhisattva.


    The Bodhisattva folded the Jinghu robe into a package and ordered Hui''an to carry it on his back. At the same time, the Bodhisattva put away the golden hoop, held a tin staff, and went directly to Lingshan.


    This action foreshadows that the Buddhist children will return to their original mission, and the golden cicada——That is, Tang monk——Will also Wearing sandalwood, which symbolizes practice and holiness, embarked on the road to the west.


    When the Bodhisattva arrived at the foot of the mountain, the golden immortal of Yuzhen Temple greeted him at the door of the Taoist temple and respectfully invited the Bodhisattva to taste tea. However, the Bodhisattva did not dare to stay longer, so he said to the immortal:"Now, in accordance with the law of the Buddha, I go to the eastern earth to find the people who take the scriptures."


    The fairy asked curiously:"When will the person who takes the scriptures arrive here?"


    The Bodhisattva replied:"The specific time has not been determined yet. It may arrive in about two or three years."


    After saying that, BodhisattvaHe said goodbye to the immortals, took advantage of the clouds and fog, estimated the journey and continued to move forward.


    This situation and this scene are evidenced by poetry.: Thousands of miles of mutual search without saying anything, but who is proud of it? Is it an accident in my whole life to ask for help suddenly? There is a way to preach, which shows that there is no faith and it is also false. I hope to devote myself to finding acquaintances. I expect that there will be fate in the front. The general meaning is:


    The general meaning is:Thousands of milesYou don''t need to say more about each other., whoDo you know which one and me?Deep fateSomeoneShallow? Asking for help from others seems to be in such a hurry. How can my trip be just an accident? Only when there is a way to preach can we make this statement. There is no basis and no evidence. It is just an empty talk. I am willing to do my best to find it, and I believe that there is a fate ahead.

    In the process of walking, the master and apprentice suddenly encountered a vast and boundless weak water, which was the boundary of the Liusha River.


    The Bodhisattva said:"Apprentice, this place is really difficult to pass. How can the mortal body of the scripture be crossed?"


    Hui''an walker asked:"Master, how wide and far is this river?"


    The Bodhisattva stopped and looked around. He saw that the east was connected to the land of sand and stones, and the west was adjacent to various foreign countries; the south extended to the country of Ugo, and the north was connected to the Tatars. RiverThe width of the stream is more than 800 miles, and the depth is even more incalculable. The current is turbulent like the earth rolling, and the waves are towering like the peaks. The river is vast and boundless, and the sound of water can be heard from afar, shaking for ten miles. Even the raft of the immortals can''t get here, and the lotus leaves can''t float on the water. The decaying grass looks particularly desolate in the setting sun. Beside the curved river, the clouds and sunset at dusk make the long embankment look darker. How can there be businessmen here? And where is the fisherman living? There were no geese falling on the flat beach, and the cry of apes came from the riverbank in the distance. Only the red flowers swayed in the wind, and the white apple grass exuded a faint fragrance, quietly adorning the scenery.


    The Bodhisattva was watching quietly. Suddenly, there was a loud noise from the river, accompanied by splashing water, and an extremely ugly demon jumped out of it.The appearance of this demon: the color is neither green nor black, and the face is dark; the figure is neither slender nor short, with a pair of bare muscular feet. His eyes sparkled, like two lights under the stove; the corners of his mouth were forked, like the brazier used by the butcher. The fangs protrude like sharp blades, and the red hair is messy and fluffy. He roared like thunder, and his feet were as fast as the rolling wind when he ran. The monster held a staff in his hand. After going ashore, he pounced directly on the Bodhisattva, but was quickly stopped by the Hui''an walker who quickly pulled out an iron rod and shouted:"Stop!"The monster then stood up the treasure stick to meet the battle.


    The two launched a thrilling fierce battle by the Liusha River: Mu Zha waved an iron rod and showed the magic of protecting the law;The monster waved the demon-slayer staff and tried to show his bravery. It''s like two silver pythons dancing by the river, and like a pair of gods rushing on the shore. One powerfully shakes the Liusha River and exerts powerful skills; the other fully protects Guanyin Bodhisattva and makes great military achievements. One jumps in the water, and the other breathes fog and clouds in the air. The surging waves and the pervasive fog made the world dim, and the sun and the moon seemed to lose their brilliance.


    The monster''s demon-slayer staff is as fierce as a white tiger coming out of the mountain, while Muzha''s iron rod is as strong as a lying yellow dragon. They come and go. One is looking for opportunities like looking for a snake, and the other is dodging flexibly, like a stagger. The battle was darkened, and the stars seemed to be more brilliant because of their battle; the fog was thick, shrouding the whole world in a haze.The monster dominated in the weak water for a long time, and now met a powerful opponent; and Muzha was just out of Lingshan, so he stood up.This is the firstBattle merits.


    The two of them came and went. They fought for dozens of rounds, and it was still difficult to separate High and low.。


    The monster held Muzha''s iron rod with a weapon and asked:"Which temple monk are you, how dare you fight with me?"


    Mu Zha replied:"I am the second prince of the King of Tota, Muzha Hui''an. Now the master who protects me goes to the east to find the scripture master.How sacred are you that you dare to block the road?"


    At this time, the monster suddenly realized and said:"I remember that you once practiced in the purple bamboo forest of Nanhai Guanyin. Why did you appear here?"


    Mu Zha shouted:"Isn''t the one on the shore my master?"


    Hearing this, the monster quickly nodded and agreed, put away the treasure cane, and was grabbed by Muzha to see Guanyin.


    He knelt in front of Guanyin and pleaded:"Bodhisattva, please forgive my sins and listen to me. I am not a demon, but a curtain general who serves the Jade Emperor Luanyu. Just because I failed to break the glass at the Peach Festival, the Jade Emperor beat me 800 times and demoted me to this appearance. And every seven days, a flying sword will penetrate my chest more than a hundred times, making me miserable. I can''t help it. I can''t stand the hunger and cold. Every two or three days, I will go to the sea to find pedestrians to eat. I didn''t expect that today''s ignorance bumped into you, a compassionate Bodhisattva."


    Guanyin said:"You sinned in heaven and were demoted to earth, and now you hurt living beings like this. It''s really a sin. I am now going to Dongtu to find the person who took the scriptures according to the Buddha''s order.Why don''t you return to my disciples, convert to Buddhism, follow the scripture takers as apprentices, and go to the western heaven to worship Buddha and seek scriptures? I can make the flying sword not come to hurt you again. When your merits and virtues are complete, you can be forgiven of your sins and restore your original position. What do you think?"


    The monster said:"I am willing to convert to Buddhism and cultivate righteous results."


    So he stepped forward and said to the Bodhisattva:"Bodhisattva, I have eaten countless people here. In the past, several people who took the scriptures passed by, and I ate them all. If anyone''s head is thrown into the stream of water, it will sink to the bottom of the water., the depth of this river is unfathomable, and even goose feathers can''t float., but only the skeletons of nine people who took the scriptures floated on the water and couldn''t sink. I think it''s a strange thing, so I string them together with a rope and play with them when I have nothing to do. Now I''m going to protect the scripture taker, but if the scripture taker can''t get here, will it delay my future?"
