Chapter 185 Asking Why the Bodhisattva Sits Upside Down? (6k!)

"So that's it..."

Chen Xi looked at the human skin paper with a strange expression.

No wonder the Thunderbolt Master wanted to trick those little white bone demons and cause trouble for the Bone Rakshasa.

It turned out that he wanted to create chaos and lead away the Unrotten Bone.

In this way, the Thunderbolt Master can transform into the Unrotten Bone and enter and exit the White Bone Cave openly and honestly.

But this is too bold...

Chen Xi touched his chin. Although it might not be so troublesome if it were him, the Thunderbolt Master's approach inspired him.

It is worthy of being the Ruyi Book. Any random one of the 72 Earthly Evil Techniques can cause such a commotion.

In time, if he masters all the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Evil Techniques, it is estimated that in the eyes of some demons, he is no different from gods and Buddhas.

However...

Although the magical skills are mysterious, they are just skills and means after all.

As a great demon, can the White Bone Bodhisattva really be deceived by the Thunderbolt Master's small tricks?

Chen Xi was thoughtful, his eyes lingering on the human skin paper.

[I transformed myself into an immortal. ]

[I mastered the art of false appearance, and my breath and appearance were the same as those of an immortal. ]

[I walked out of the Jingtan, and all the little white-bone demons passing by bowed down to me. ]

[With their brains, which were not much bigger than walnut kernels, they could not figure out why the immortal master could appear here after flying away. ]

[In theory, to go to the White Bone Cave, one needs to pass through the four bitter gates of birth, old age, sickness and death. ]

[However, as I became an immortal, one of the capable men under the seat of the White Bone Bodhisattva, naturally there was no need to pass any bitter gates. ]

[I walked towards the White Bone Cave with a swagger, and the road was smooth. ]

[Soon, I arrived at the White Bone Cave where the White Bone Bodhisattva was. ]

[The White Bone Cave is located on a skull mountain. ]

[Skull Mountain, as its name suggests, is shaped like a huge skull. ]

[There are skeletons all around. If ordinary people come here, they will be scared to death. ]

[Compared to the rest of the White Tiger Ridge, there are also many white bone monsters wandering around Skull Mountain, and they are all strange. ]

[These white bone monsters are more powerful than ordinary monsters. ]

[However, when facing me, the "untransmutable bone", they are still respectful and dare not fart. ]

[It can be seen that the prestige of the untransmutable bone under the seat of the White Bone Bodhisattva is probably not small. ]

[So that these white bone monsters take a detour when they see me. ]

[I am happy and worried about this...]

[The happy thing is that I don't have to spend a lot of time and effort to fool these white bone monsters. ]

[It saves a lot of possible risks. ]

[The worry is that I can't get more useful information from these white bone monsters. ]

[I can only rely on guesswork and try my best to pretend that my bones have not been turned into bones, so as to get closer to the White Bone Bodhisattva. ]

[This is even more dangerous for me! ]

[But fortunately, I am a great master of Thunderbolt, not a coward, so I will not back down. ]

[Compared to the reckless man, Mang Jin Gang, I boast of my courage and strategy, my wisdom is better than Wen Qu, my courage is better than Wu Qu, I am powerful in the nine states, sweeping across the four directions, and unparalleled in the world! ]

[It's just a trip to the White Bone Cave, so I'm naturally in control...]

"Isn't he just a fake bull nose selling dog skin plasters?"

In the crowd, Mang Jin Gang muttered, quite unhappy.

Chen Xi was a little amused and couldn't help shaking his head.

The two guys he picked at random turned out to be live treasures.

Each of them had a mysterious confidence...

[I resolutely stepped into the White Bone Cave. ]

[The White Bone Cave is gloomy and quiet. ]

[On both sides of the rock wall, pale green ghost lights lit up one after another. ]

[I calmed down, then held my head high and went deep into the White Bone Cave. ]

[Not long after walking, I suddenly heard a sound above my head. ]

["Hey, isn't this our Great Commander Buhuagu?" ]

[I looked up when I heard it. ]

[I saw a black monster with a head but no body hanging on the top of the cave, shaped like a human-faced stalactite. ]

["Great Commander Buhuagu, I wonder what food you brought me this time?" ]

[Food? ]

[Who is this person who dares to talk to Buhuagu like this? ]

[I was a little surprised. If I guessed correctly, Buhuagu, as the commander of the Four Bitter Pass, should have a very high status. ]

[This monster spoke like this, could it be that he was quite powerful? ]

[My eyes rolled, and I immediately responded and spoke. 】

【"I have something important to do now. I need to see the White Bone Bodhisattva. I forgot to bring food. I'll give it to you next time."】

【After I said that, I walked straight forward, wanting to get rid of this guy immediately. 】

【Unexpectedly, the human-faced stalactite blew a black wind at me. 】

【I was always on guard against it, so I jumped away and dodged it. 】

【The black wind blew a piece of bluestone black, then rolled it up and fell into the mouth of the human-faced stalactite. 】

【Crack! 】

【The human-faced stalactite chewed it with big mouthfuls, and the stone was eaten as well. 】

【"Unbreakable Bone Commander, rules are rules."】

【"Anyone who passes by my black-eating-black place must throw something down!"】

【"This is the right given to me by the Bodhisattva. Unbreakable Bone Commander, don't think that you can break the rules just because you are favored by the Bodhisattva..."】

【Black-eating-black? 】

【After hearing this, I looked at this guy and found that he really lived up to his name. 】

[How dare you ask for something from Bu Hua Gu? Isn't that just robbing the thieves? ]

[I thought about it again and again, and finally endured it. ]

[Now that we have just entered the White Bone Cave, there is still a big demon inside. ]

[If there is a commotion, my identity will be exposed, and I will definitely be unlucky. ]

[Thinking of this, I searched for things on my body. ]

[After searching for it, I finally found only a broken leather coat, which I could barely give. ]

[Although this leather coat was broken, it was made of the fur of the black bear demon after all, which was extremely extraordinary. ]

[The thieves were very surprised to get the leather coat, and they didn't even ask where it came from, and gave way. ]

[I didn't want to get entangled with it too much, so I continued to go deeper into the White Bone Cave. ]

[After a stick of incense, I saw a stone table and stone chair on the side of the road. ]

[On the stone table was a golden cup, and the aroma of wine was overflowing, which aroused my greed. ]

[But I know very well that this place is a demon cave, how dare I eat and drink casually, maybe it's some demon trick. ]

[Sure enough! ]

[When I got closer, the stone table and stone chair turned into a mirror with a human face. ]

[The divine eye is barely detectable, and it swept past. ]

[I knew the origin of this monster. ]

[It turned out that this was a multi-faceted monster, specializing in changing its shape to kill people. ]

["General Buhuagu, what are you doing?" ]

[The mirror of the multi-faceted monster revealed a delicate face of a beautiful woman. ]

["There is something important, I need to report to the Bodhisattva." ]

[I said it casually, pretending to be very anxious. ]

["Important? Didn't you just find the Bodhisattva before?" ]

[The multi-faceted monster changed into a child's face again, full of doubts. ]

[But it didn't stop anything like the thieves. ]

[I kept silent and easily dealt with the multifaceted monster. ]

[Although the multifaceted monster is good at changing, my changes are far better than its own! ]

[I passed through the multifaceted monster and walked further in, and encountered another strange monster. ]

[It is not accurate to call it a monster. ]

[It is more like a strange hand growing out of the ground. ]

[The strange hand is very large, with eyes, nose and mouth on the palm, which looks quite creepy. ]

[As soon as I approached, the strange hand stretched out towards me. ]

[I was more careful this time and used my clairvoyance to take a look in advance. ]

[I soon knew the origin of this strange hand. ]

[It turned out to be a hand-stretching monster! ]

[As the name suggests, even if the king of heaven passes by it, he has to leave money to buy his way through. ]

[Otherwise, the mouth on its palm will be full of foul language, scolding you to the point of being furious. ]

[Even if you piss this guy off, he will grab you and crush you to death...]

"Interesting!"

Chen Xi was amazed. He really didn't expect that there were so many monsters of all kinds in the White Bone Cave.

If you look at it this way, the White Bone Bodhisattva is probably the biggest monster with the most monsters under his command since he traveled westward.

[I knew the background of the hand monster in advance, so I naturally wouldn't ask for trouble. ]

[But this time, I don't know what to give this guy. ]

[I have a lot of treasures on me, but none of them can be taken out without turning into bones. ]

[The previous bear skin coat was too worn out, and it can be explained that it was obtained by chance from Wanshou Mountain. ]

[But the other treasures are a bit difficult to show. ]

[I hesitated for a while, and finally my eyes rolled around and I had an idea in my mind. ]

[I took advantage of the hand monster's unpreparedness and picked up a skull head and handed it over. 】

【The hand-stretching monster was very puzzled when he saw this. He thought I was playing tricks on him and looked quite angry. 】

【Unexpectedly, I used my ability to speak and I could speak without hesitation. 】

【With just a few words, he praised this skull head to the sky and said it was a real treasure. 】

【If it were a normal monster, he might still be suspicious. 】

【But the hand-stretching monster was obviously not very smart, so it was naturally difficult to resist the power of the ability to speak. 】

【The hand-stretching monster was overjoyed and took the skull head, and then respectfully let it go. 】

【With my Taoism, I can't let the influence of the ability to speak last forever. 】

【So I didn't dare to delay and said goodbye to the hand-stretching monster. 】

【I was afraid that this guy would get too excited and make a noise. 】

【And just when I thought I could see the White Bone Bodhisattva soon...】

【A face with iron teeth and steel teeth blocked my way. 】

【Obviously, this is another monster! 】

【"Wow, Commander Buhuagu, the Bodhisattva wants to entertain the man of destiny, and no one will see him recently!"】

【The iron teeth and steel teeth opened and closed, making a sound. 】

【I took a glance and knew its name... Steel Teeth Monster! 】

【It is hard to swallow, and it is the most stubborn. 】

【"I have an urgent matter, and I need the Bodhisattva of Bingming."】

【"Get out of the way quickly, otherwise if something happens, can you bear the consequences!"】

【I am a little annoyed. How can there be so many of these messy monsters! 】

【They are good at taking bribes and extortion. 】

【If you don't know, you would think it is a monster! 】

【The Steel Teeth Monster laughed and said. 】

【"It is urgent, what does it have to do with me?"】

【"The Bodhisattva said you can't enter, so you can't enter."】

【My face turned black. Why is this guy so inflexible? He can't even understand the gate? 】

[Seeing the steel-toothed monster, he refused to let him go. 】【My eyes rolled, and I had an idea in my mind. 】

[I immediately turned around and left. After I was far away from the steel-toothed monster, I transformed into a fly. 】

[I circled three times around the nostrils of the steel tooth monster. 】

[The steel tooth monster was caught off guard and sneezed. 】

[And I took the opportunity to get through between the steel teeth that opened when he sneezed. 】

[After passing through the steel tooth monster, I finally arrived at the palace of the Bone Bodhisattva. 】

[It is said to be a sleeping palace, but in fact it is more like a Buddhist temple. 】

[Although this place is equally eerie, the scene outside is many times better. 】

[There are murals around the palace. 】

[On the mural, there are pictures of Arhat, Dharma protector, and messenger...]

[And at the top of these murals, there are three figures. 】

[Amitabha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva...]

[Among them, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is in the center, with the other two figures as backgrounds on the left and right. 】

"Um?"

Chen Ye frowned instantly as he looked at the description that appeared on the human skin paper.

This order of arrangement...is wrong!

Amitabha, Avalokitesvara, and Mahasthamaprapta are collectively known as the Three Saints of the West.

When Buddhism worships Amitabha, the two Bodhisattvas Avalokitesvara and Mahasthamaprapta will exist as attendants on the left and right.

It is simply impossible to have a situation where Guanyin Bodhisattva is in the middle, Amitabha Buddha, and Mahasthamaprapta are on the left and right.

Even if Amitabha Buddha passes away and Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva becomes a Buddha, Amitabha Buddha will not be left to his own devices.

Chen Yi had previously indirectly dealt with Lingji Bodhisattva, the incarnation of Mahasthamaprapta, in Huangfengling.

Then I got a little understanding of the situation of the three saints in the West who entered the place of destruction and replenishment.

Of these three beings, only the former will pass away, and the latter will be replenished and centered.

The current mural clearly violates this point.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is slandering the Buddha to put Amitabha in a subordinate position...

In this situation, there are only three possibilities!

First, the owner of this place has no understanding of Buddhism, does not read Buddhist scriptures, and is completely fooling around.

Second, he did it deliberately, rebelled against Tiangang, and acted to humiliate the Buddha.

Third, the owner of this place considers himself Guanyin Bodhisattva, living above Amitabha Buddha!

And no matter which one it is, it shows that the owner of this place, the Bone Bodhisattva, is definitely involved with Guanyin Bodhisattva.

If not, why should Guanshiyin Bodhisattva be placed above all other Buddhas instead of other gods and Buddhas?

Chen Ye squinted his eyes, thoughtfully.

At this moment, the death prophecies on the human skin paper are still continuing...

【"Weird..."】

[I looked around the palace, and I always felt that there was something weird about this place. 】

[Although there is a painting of Buddha here, the ground is full of dead bones, which feels indescribably inconsistent. 】

[I held my breath and carefully flew deep into the palace. 】

[But I saw a long table deep in the palace. 】

[The long table is filled with delicacies. 】

[There is wine, meat, and even bloody ‘ginseng fruit’, which looks quite rich. 】

[At the end of the long table, there is a gauze romance. 】

[I looked carefully, but I didn’t see the Bone Bodhisattva. 】

【So, I thought of the gauze romantic queen and took a look. 】

[Through the gauze and romance, you can vaguely see a lotus platform. 】

[As soon as my eyes lit up, I walked around Qingsha Luoman and took a clear look at the lotus platform. 】

[The lotus flowers bloom at nine levels, as white as jade. 】

[Just by looking at it from a distance, you can feel a sense of holiness and purity. 】

[Presumably this is the so-called White Lotus, right? 】

[I was so happy that I didn’t expect that it would take no effort at all. 】

[I don’t know why, but Bone Bodhisattva is not in the dormitory now. 】

[Isn’t this a God-given opportunity? 】

[As long as the white lotus is in hand, the sky is high and birds can fly. 】

[Why don’t you worry about the Bone Bodhisattva? Isn’t it beautiful to simply live in peace and survive the calamity? 】

[When I thought about this, I flew above the white lotus and circled it three times. 】

[After everything is complete and there are no traps, I want to show up and take Bai Lian away. 】

[However, at this moment, I don’t know what I was thinking, but I wanted to go and sit on the white lotus. 】

[When I came to my senses, the fly I transformed had already landed on the white lotus. 】

[In an instant, a sense of transparency that goes straight through the Tianling Cap arises spontaneously. 】

【Pure and holy, great mercy! 】

[This feeling is quite mysterious. 】

[I am almost in a state of ecstasy. All the beauties, gold, silver, wine, meat and other desires in the world are not as beautiful as this moment. 】

【I am trapped in it and cannot extricate myself. 】

[And at this moment, a sound came from under the ninth-grade white lotus...]

["Buddha has already gone to the banquet, why are you so secretive and sneaky?"]

[The sound under the white lotus is solemn and cold. 】

[In an instant, I suddenly woke up as thunder struck my ears. 】

【What's going on? 】

[Without any thought, I quickly flew away from Bai Lian and looked down. 】

[It doesn’t matter if you don’t see it, I took a breath immediately when I saw it. 】

[Under the white lotus, there is an upside-down Bone Palace. 】

[The Bones Temple is made up of skulls and looks particularly spectacular. 】

[What is most peculiar is that the whole White Bone Temple is hanging upside down in the air, and not a single skull falls from the sky. ]

[And on the White Bone Temple, there is a Bodhisattva sitting upside down. ]

[It is a Bodhisattva made of white jade, with a solemn appearance and white lotuses blooming around it. ]

[At first glance, it is quite holy, just like the compassionate Guanyin. ]

[But this Bodhisattva is upside down, and the senses suddenly become very strange. ]

[When I saw this scene, I always had an inexplicable feeling in my heart. ]

[He...should not be sitting there, but should be sitting on the lotus platform. ]

["May I ask the Bodhisattva, why is he sitting upside down?" ]

[I did not answer his words, and I was not even afraid. Instead, I inexplicably asked why he was sitting upside down. ]

[Even I don't know why I asked this question. ]

[And unexpectedly... ]

[This Bodhisattva actually responded. 】

【"Because sentient beings refuse to turn back."】

【A faint sigh came from his mouth. 】

【Because sentient beings refuse to turn back...? 】

【I was at a loss, and I didn't know when I had already revealed my true form. 】

【The sitting Bodhisattva frowned slightly when he saw me like this. 】

【"No..."】

【"Wrong, wrong..."】

【"You are not you, how can you attend the banquet?"】

【"Sentient beings reincarnate, endlessly, it seems that we have to wait for the next person of destiny..."】

【The Bodhisattva's tone was inexplicable, as if he had some regrets. 】

【"What reincarnation or not, what are you talking about?"】

【I knew that it was impossible to steal the white lotus, so I simply planned to use this body to extract information from his mouth. 】

【However, the Bodhisattva no longer paid attention to me. 】

【He shook his head and sighed to himself, and spoke faintly. 】

【"It seems that today's banquet can only wait until the next reincarnation to invite Buddhist disciples."】

【"Forget it..."】

【"I can still wait..."】

【After saying this, the White Bone Bodhisattva closed his eyes and refused to look at me again. 】

【I raised my eyebrows and was about to open my mouth to say something. 】

【But at this moment! 】

【I suddenly found that I had lost my mouth. 】

【Crack! Crack...】

【A sound of bones rubbing against each other followed. 】

【I reached out and touched my mouth, but was shocked to find that...】

【I didn't know when I had turned from a living person into a skeleton! 】

【That's right! It was a skeleton, even worse than the white bone monster wandering outside. 】

【I couldn't accept that I, a great Thunderbolt Master, fell down at the first sight. 】

【I even went through so much trouble to sneak into the White Bone Cave. ]

[So I came here and gave away my life? ]

[The thought flashed through my mind, and I fell to the ground, my mind becoming more and more rigid. ]

[I understand that I am going to die soon...]

[I am a little unwilling in my heart. My death this time is too inexplicable, even dramatic. ]

[If I had known this, I might as well have played around outside more. ]

[But now that things have come to this, regret is useless. ]

[Although I am dead now, there are still thousands of me who have not fallen. ]

[When I come back, I will make this riddle-telling white-bone Bodhisattva kneel down and beg for mercy! ]

The blood-stained words on the human skin paper stopped here.

Chen Xi was in a trance, and his eyes were black.

His infatuation was like being hit by a heavy punch, and he was exhausted.

The mental burden of two consecutive obsession simulations was much higher than he thought.

After a whole incense stick...

Chen Xi took a deep breath and came to his senses.

"It seems that I have to let my mind and heart rest for a short time..."

Chen Xi murmured to himself, and his hands stroked the human skin paper.

The blood stains on the human skin paper faded.

The figure of the Thunderbolt Master reappeared in the crowd.

Like Mang Jin Gang, his body was much more illusory.

At the same time, some memories of the Thunderbolt Master's death prophecy also poured into Chen Xi's mind at this moment.

In an instant, Chen Xi's mind was blessed and he learned the art of fake shape without a teacher.

Ruyi Book seemed to have some feelings, and the seal characters representing the art of fake shape were immediately lit up.

The art of fake shape, the Thunderbolt Master learned it for nine days in the death prophecy before mastering it.

And now, Chen Xi can easily save nine days of hard practice with just the human skin paper, which is a great benefit.

However, despite this, Chen Xi was not very happy about it.

With some memories of the Thunderbolt Master, he could not even see through the details of the White Bone Bodhisattva.

This made Chen Xi feel difficult and his face was solemn.

The White Bone Bodhisattva was much more difficult to deal with than he imagined!

At the same time, he seemed to know a lot of things that Chen Xi did not know.

"All living beings reincarnate, the next person of destiny..."

"Could it be that the White Bone Bodhisattva could see that the Thunderbolt Master in the human skin paper was not me?"
