Chapter 251 Confrontation with Guanyin
Chapter 251 Confrontation with Guanyin
Zhu Bajie didn't expect that after the Inspiration King swallowed the lotus petals of Guanyin Bodhisattva, he still lost to the formation of Roth and his men. Now the Inspiration King was cut into several sections by the Tiangang Sword Formation. This was completely over. The Tiangang Sword Formation directly shattered the soul of the Inspiration King. Even the Daluo Immortal could not save him.
After a while, the army of gods and demons had not yet dispersed, and Zhu Bajie also guessed what Roth was thinking. Soon, auspicious light appeared in the sky, and Guanyin Bodhisattva came flying on a lotus platform, holding a jade bottle in her hand. "Bodhisattva, why are you here?" Sun Wukong asked knowingly.
Guanyin Bodhisattva lowered her eyes slightly, looking at the mess at the bottom of Tongtian River, and sighed softly, "This Linggan King was originally a goldfish in my lotus pond. He took advantage of my ignorance and descended to the mortal world to become a demon. Now he has committed such a sin. I will come and punish him."
A complex expression appeared on the dignified and holy face of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Her eyes slowly fell on the red carp that was broken into several sections. A trace of compassion flashed in her eyes, as if she saw the little creature that once swam nimbly in the lotus pond now had such a miserable end. But soon, that trace of compassion was mixed with a trace of anger. The body of the King of Inspiration was cut into several sections, which was horrible to look at. What was more serious was that even his soul was broken, and his life was completely cut off. Even if she held the Jade Purification Bottle in her hand, the Yangzhi Ganlu in the bottle had magical effects, but it could not save this dying situation.
Guanyin Bodhisattva sighed in her heart. In this catastrophe, the secrets of heaven were obscured, and she could not calculate this disaster in advance. She raised her head slightly and looked at Luo Te with cold eyes, which seemed to penetrate people's hearts. "Well, Luo Te, the national teacher of the Tang Dynasty, you are so cruel. This carp spirit is wrong, but it is not a crime worthy of death. Your army of gods and demons actually used their numbers to bully the minority, and even shattered its soul. How should I deal with such a cruel heart of yours?" Although Guanyin Bodhisattva's voice was not loud, it carried a sense of majesty and oppression. She exuded a sacred light all over her body, which made people dare not look directly at her.
"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, what have we done wrong? The King of Inspiration has been a demon in Tongtian River for many years and eats young boys and girls every year. Isn't this wrong? Shouldn't he die?" Roth's voice was sonorous and powerful, like steel.
“Buddha has mercy on him. Even though he made mistakes, he should not end up like this. But your army of gods and demons actually shattered his soul. How should we deal with this?” When Guanyin said the last sentence, her voice was full of murderous intent, as if she wanted to tear Roth to pieces.
"Haha...what is the so-called punishment of Bodhisattva? I, Roth, only know to pay for a person's life and owe a debt with money." Roth said in a loud voice.
"His life is life, but the lives of my human race children are not lives?" said Roth.
Guanyin Bodhisattva was slightly startled. She had never expected Roth to be so tough. Her eyes flickered, and the sacred light swayed slightly.
"Although you have a point, your method is too cruel. After all, this King of Inspiration was once a creature in my lotus pond. Now that he has met such an end, how can I sit back and watch?" Guanyin Bodhisattva's tone softened a little, but still carried majesty.
Roth straightened his body and looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva without flinching. "Bodhisattva, my army of gods and demons only acts to uphold justice and protect the human race. This King Linggan has committed many evil deeds. If we don't punish him severely, how can we explain to the people of the human race who have been killed by him?"
"You are making up stories. Your army of gods and demons has started wars without any reason and has been attacking people everywhere. This is nothing but your idea. Don't think that I won't dare to touch you just because you are the disciple of that monkey. It seems that I have to teach you a lesson."
Guanyin burst out with a strong murderous intent, and Roth hurriedly commanded the troops to work together to activate the formation. After Guanyin Bodhisattva finished speaking, she gently waved the willow branch in her hand, and a soft but powerful light shot straight towards Roth.
The army of gods and demons tried their best to activate the formation to resist Guanyin's attack, but who is Guanyin? His cultivation is at the quasi-saint level, and a casual blow from him is powerful enough to destroy everything in his way. His attack hit the formation, and the formation resisted for a while at the beginning, but then the formation began to slowly crack and it seemed that it would not be able to hold on.
Roth took out the imperial edict and threw it into the sky. A transparent golden dragon directly drilled into the formation. In an instant, the formation shone brightly, directly offsetting Guanyin's attack. The Tiangang Sword Formation above the formation continued to grow larger, and continuously condensed powerful Tiangang sword energy.
The imperial edict just now was written by Roth just in case. It was covered with the imperial seal and contained the dragon energy and luck of the entire Tang Dynasty. Under the blessing of luck, the entire Tiangang Sword Formation was like a sleeping dragon awakened, exuding endless majesty and power. The Tiangang sword energy flashed with dazzling light, as if it was going to cut the entire Tongtian River bottom into countless pieces.
Guanyin Bodhisattva frowned slightly. She obviously didn't expect Roth to have such a back-up plan. But she didn't retreat. She waved the willow branch in her hand again. This time, a brighter light shot out and rushed towards the Tiangang Sword Formation with a destructive momentum.
The sword energy in the sword formation seemed to feel threatened, and they all roared towards the attack of Guanyin Bodhisattva. The two collided, and a loud noise shook the earth. The entire Tongtian River trembled violently under the impact of this force. The river water surged and the waves were surging, as if the end of the world had come.
"What a great Tang Dynasty! They relied on their luck to block two of my attacks."
As soon as Guanyin finished speaking, she gathered powerful magic power and prepared to attack. At this time, Sun Wukong burst out with powerful strength, and he and Zhu Bajie instantly flew to Roth and the others.
"Why, even you want to stop me from eliminating evil?"
"Buddha, please stop, you can't fight like this anymore," Sun Wukong advised.
"Bodhisattva, do you really want to go to war with the Tang Dynasty and the human race? For a man-eating monster, Bodhisattva, if you do this, do you still want Buddhism to spread eastward? You are so reckless. This carp monster must be your arrangement. You deliberately arranged this disaster for Master Xuanzang in order to spread your Lingshan Buddhism to the east."
Roth said this deliberately, trying to point out the possible selfishness of Guanyin Bodhisattva, so as to prevent the war that was about to break out.
After hearing what Roth said, Guanyin Bodhisattva was slightly shocked, and a complicated look flashed in her eyes. She stopped the magic power that was gathering in her hand, and after a moment of silence, she said: "Don't talk nonsense. This Lingguang King came to the world as a demon, which was not my intention. The spread of Buddhism to the East is to save all living beings, how could it use such despicable means."
Seeing that Guanyin Bodhisattva was showing some signs of relenting, Sun Wukong quickly said, "Bodhisattva, now that the King of Inspiration has been punished, why not stop here to avoid causing even greater disasters."
Zhu Bajie also echoed, "Yes, Bodhisattva, let's maintain peace and not ruin it because of this monster."
Guanyin Bodhisattva took a deep look at Luo Te and the others, then looked at the mess at the bottom of Tongtian River, and finally sighed and said, "Forget it, today's matter ends here. But you must be more cautious in the future and not be so reckless."
Seeing that Guanyin Bodhisattva had given in, Luo Te also quickly bowed and said, "Thank you Bodhisattva for your magnanimity. Luo Te will remember this in his heart. In the future, he will definitely restrain the army of gods and demons and will not easily provoke disputes again."
