Chapter 587 Devouring the Mother Lotus Body
"You should have asked her this question too."
The girl didn't answer the question and chuckled: "What's her performance like?"
"She wants to find you. And she's desperate."
Hearing this, the girl sighed: "Hey, it's true, but she was never looking for me, but I was looking for her. She doesn't want me anymore."
As he spoke, layers of white mist appeared around the girl. When the scene took shape again, it turned out to be a magnificent temple.
“Is this the Tzu Chi Empress Temple?”
Jingguang looked at the building in front of her with a little surprise in her eyes. Then she watched the girl walk to the statue and whispered: "I hope that when I obtain Anuttarasamyaksambodhi in the next life, my own light will be blazing, and I will see Eliminate the suffering of all sentient beings, eliminate all karma of injustice, ignorance, and demonic obstacles, and eliminate all plagues..."
"I hope that when I attain Anuttarasamyaksambodhi in the next life, my body will be like the bright moon, pure and flawless, with a vast brightness. I will receive the light of the immeasurable Buddhas in the ten directions above, and illuminate all living beings in the six paths below. I will be enlightened, and I will do whatever I want to do. .”
"I hope that when I attain Anuttarasamyaksambodhi in the next life, I can cause countless sentient beings to escape from the devil's net, be liberated from all the entanglements of heretics, be pure, and not fall into the evil realms."
Three great aspirations are intertwined, layers of Buddha's light descend, and Buddha's light like the bright moon emerges from the girl's body.
Seeing this, Jingguang stepped forward and bowed: "Mercy, mercy, Master has made a great wish to save all sentient beings. Now that I hear it, I should help you. But, why did you say you were abandoned?"
"Because Mother Lotus has fallen into heretics at this moment, she has become a great demonic net that binds countless sentient beings."
With that said, Chutai informed Jingguang about what was happening in the outside world at this moment.
Hearing these changes, Jingguang was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that a being who made such a great wish would end up like this.
"You and the Lotus Mother are one body. Is there any way to save you?"
“It’s actually easy to solve my problem.”
The girl brought Chu Tai and Jingguang to the statue. Behind the solemn and sacred statue were two skeletons entangled with teeth marks.
Seeing this scene, Chu Tai was stunned for a moment.
Different from the phantoms he saw in the past, what Chu Tai saw now was part of the essence, so the fate on it could also see part of its origin.
"Are these the skeletons left by the goddess and the mage? Did the tooth marks on them come from the devouring of all living beings here, or from the backlash of the mournful living beings?"
Chu Tai's inquiry stunned the angry Jing Guang for a moment. Having seen the previous sacrificial ceremony, she instinctively believed that these tooth marks came from the sacrifice. However, after Chu Tai reminded her, she suddenly found that she seemed to be thinking too much.
If she was really forced to sacrifice, it would be impossible for the girl to make the three great wishes to save all sentient beings here.
Therefore, those tooth marks should not have appeared during the sacrificial process, but after Lotus Mother began to save the world.
The girl's subsequent answer also confirmed Chu Tai's speculation.
"Namo Guanyin Bodhisattva! You have a unique vision and can see the problem at a glance. These tooth marks appeared exactly after I failed to save the world."
Jingguang frowned and said with some confusion: "You have made three great wishes and received the blessing of Buddha's light. In the future, you should have the power to give back, improve your cultivation, and push it to the third level. Why did you fail? It ended up like this.”
"Because we miscalculated." The girl looked at the two skeletons, first pointing to the old one, and said: "In the beginning, as the prototype of the goddess, when the land was dry, during family sacrifices, I dedicated myself to letting my flesh, bones, and divinity return to nature, and let some of the power of nature protect our land. This is my first time to save this land.”
"The second time was when the heaven and earth changed. At that time, life and death in the entire world were misplaced, and the principles of everything were mutated. In order to prevent this force from distorting the living beings here, as a practitioner of the Guanyin Method, I chose to protect all living beings here. Burning my body in mourning, I allowed my spirit to merge with the fading gods, and built myself into who I am now. This is my second time to save this land.”
"At that time, the world had already declined, and I was one of the few successful cases. Therefore, I received the last gift from the world and became the closest existence to the third level at that time. But unfortunately, the world was too weak to push me higher. Realm. I can only choose to make great aspirations, overdraw the future, build an illusory three-character personality, and try to save the world.”
"But..."
The girl sighed with a slight sob in her tone. Chu Tai sighed and said, "But when you finally found out that you had achieved the third level, you faced a very terrifying existence, right?"
"Yes, I saw immeasurable Buddha's light, I saw boundless Buddha's light, I saw past Buddhas, present Buddhas and future Buddhas. I was almost assimilated by Buddha's light, but the sentient beings here saved me. But in order to save me, they were also absorbed by Buddha's light. Infection, and in order to expel the Buddha’s light, I can only find ways to enhance the power of the goddess and suppress the Buddha’s teachings as much as possible.”
"But the more this happens, the more powerless I am, and the more I can only watch them become alienated one by one. Even because they have absorbed too much vitality and grown lotus flowers and vines, they cannot die normally at all. They can only beg me to kill them. ”
"I took action. When I killed the first person, [Nanwu Guanshiyin]'s Dharma took shape. And when I killed the last alienated person, I was separated from myself."< br>
"Then how did she abandon you? When?"
Chu Tai asked a new question.
The girl was silent for a while and said: "When the world was completely hopeless, when I was completely crazy, I chose to integrate them all into my illusory pure land, and then forcibly overlapped the pure land with the world, hoping to let them live. It was also that time At that time, both of my bodies were bitten and devoured by the crazy people.”
"That's not right."
Chu Tai retorted: "I remember very clearly that the most important sentence that echoed in your ears should be 'Mother of Thousand Leaves Qianruilian, please lead us to survive'."
"So, what exactly happened back then? The first tooth mark on your body should not have been bitten open when everyone died."
Upon hearing this, Jingguang's eyes narrowed and he said coldly: "Fellow Taoist Taining, what do you mean by this?"
"I mean, before the world collapsed, you tried to save all sentient beings with your own flesh and blood. Or did someone want to gain immortality by devouring your flesh and blood? Right? The Mother of Thousand Leaves Qianruilian..."
"It's all..."
The girl sighed, a green light flowed in one pupil, and Buddha's light emerged from the other pupil. Although her body shape and appearance did not change, her temperament was no different from that of the Ten Thousand Leaves Qianrui Lotus Mother.
She walked up to Chu Tai and said: "In the beginning, they wanted my flesh and blood to survive. But after I discovered that this move could really save all sentient beings, I gave up my flesh and blood and tried to save as many lives as possible. More people.”
"This is evil!"
Jingguang roared angrily: "Even if it is to save people, you should not choose to feed them with flesh and blood. They can eat flesh and blood in order to survive, but you absolutely cannot give flesh and blood to them. You have released the devil in their hearts!"< br>
"Hey..."
Chu Tai sighed, looked at the girl and said, "Now, you still want to release the demon in Jingguang's heart, right?"
Hearing this, Jingguang was stunned for a moment, and then he roared like an angry lion: "I will never devour your flesh and blood!"
