The black bear demon looked at Kasyapa and Ananda warily, leaving them speechless and even feeling a little angry in their hearts.
Are they that kind of people?
It’s just a golden cudgel, how can it be compared with the status of Buddha’s disciple?
Moreover, this black bear demon was simply unreasonable. They were disciples of the Buddha, and they would not be so shameless for the sake of a golden hoop, so they snorted coldly.
"Brother, please feel free to do as you please. Let's go to Lingshan first..."
Their mission is to welcome the black bear demon to Lingshan Mountain and be accepted as a disciple by the Buddha. As for Sun Wukong's golden cudgel, let the monkey worry about it himself; they will not care.
On the Lingshan Mountain in the West, golden light was radiating everywhere, and there was fairy music floating in the air. Everyone on the Lingshan Mountain was alarmed because a strange phenomenon had appeared in the sky.
When the black bear demon walked towards the Holy Mountain, a lotus would grow under his feet with every step, and the entire Holy Mountain was filled with flowers. The Buddha was high above, looking down at the black bear demon with a smile on his face.
After Kasyapa and Ananda reported to the Buddha and retreated, the group of Bodhisattvas looked at the black bear demon in surprise, with incredible expressions on their faces.
Could it be that this black bear demon is the person chosen by the Buddha and also his disciple?
Only Guanyin Bodhisattva looked normal at this time. When she looked at the black bear demon, a smile appeared on her face and she nodded at him with a kind look, which slowed down the black bear demon, who was originally walking very slowly.
I couldn't help but put my hands together and salute Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Guanyin did not dare to be negligent and quickly returned the gift.
When the remaining Bodhisattvas saw this, they thought about the identity of the Black Bear Demon and thought that he was a disciple of the Buddha and most likely his last disciple, so they all greeted the Black Bear Demon.
He looked very respectful and polite.
That's because the Buddha hasn't accepted a disciple for a thousand years, and this one is most likely the last one. Moreover, in Buddhism, the Buddha's disciples are the most honorable, and the remaining Bodhisattvas and Arhats are all ranked below the Black Bear Demon.
“I have seen the Buddha!”
Looking up at the lofty Buddha, the Black Bear Demon actually felt no pressure or excitement. He just knelt on the ground calmly, which was different from what everyone had imagined.
Many people who come to Lingshan cannot even speak calmly because they are too excited.
Only the black bear demon remained calm and composed, showing no extreme joy or sorrow. This performance caught the eyes of the Buddha, who praised him highly.
“Black Bear Spirit, you and I are predestined, and you have also practiced my magic. Although we are not master and disciple in name, we are master and disciple in reality. It is truly fate. Today, I will formally accept you as my disciple in front of everyone, and let the three realms celebrate for you…”
The Buddha could see through it at a glance. On the black bear demon's body was the phoenix magic of the Vajra Seal of Vairocana. This magic was when he was in danger and felt that he did not have much time left. He sealed his strongest magic in a painting.
However, not everyone can practice this painting. Only those who have great opportunities and a connection with Buddha can practice it.
After surviving the crisis, the Buddha also thought about finding the painting, but the painting seemed to have disappeared in the three realms, and no matter what method the Buddha used, he could not find the painting.
All he can do is wait for his destined person. Maybe this destined person won’t appear for a thousand years, or maybe this destined person will appear soon.
Unexpectedly, he would meet the destined person to inherit his legacy, the Black Bear Demon, so soon.
Naturally, I am extremely grateful.
When the Buddha spoke, the Bodhisattvas standing on Lingshan Mountain looked at the black bear demon with eyes full of envy.
Countless of them have tried their best for several years, practicing devoutly in order to find the right path and become Buddhas.
There are many more people who have practiced hard all their lives but have never had the chance to step into this sacred mountain. Only this black bear demon, although a fairy, is the luckiest fairy in their eyes.
The Buddha made an exception and accepted him as his disciple, and the three realms celebrated together!
"Amitabha, congratulations, uncle!"
"Congratulations, Uncle Master!"
"Congratulations, Junior Brother! Congratulations, Junior Brother!"
"Master uncle is very happy!"
…
After hearing the Buddha's words, many people congratulated the Black Bear Demon, but there were too many people, and the Black Bear Demon could not tell who was who. He could only return the greetings. However, he found that almost most of the people on the scene were of much lower generation than him.
"Today, if you enter my Buddhist sect, I will grant you the status of the Supreme Bodhisattva of Indestructibility, and let you practice in Lingshan forever..."
As soon as the Buddha opened his mouth, the black bear demon became the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, the most envied object on Mount Lingshan. As a Bodhisattva, one not only has a high status but also enjoys quite a lot of welfare resources on Mount Lingshan.
Before he could hear the congratulations, the Black Bear Demon, who is now the Immortal Supreme Bodhisattva, was led into a house in Lingshan.
The mansion is very large, with a gate that is dozens of meters high, and there are hundreds of young monks serving inside. The black bear demon does not have to do anything, as all the chores are handled by these monks.
All he had to do was to focus on practicing his magic, and sometimes he would do some small things for the Buddha.
When the Black Bear Demon moved into the Immortal Supreme Bodhisattva Temple, some fellow disciples came to visit him first.
The Buddha had only five direct disciples. Apart from the eldest disciple Kashyapa, the third disciple Ananda, and the second disciple Jin Chanzi who went to the East to preach, the remaining were the fourth disciple Buchen and the fifth disciple Bumie.
As for those in Lingshan, although some Bodhisattvas claim to be the Buddha's disciples, they are actually just nominal disciples and cannot be considered as the Buddha's personal disciples.
Therefore, except for Buchen, who has a completely white beard and looks like an old white-haired man, who can be considered the true senior brother of the Black Bear Demon, the other Bodhisattvas and Vajras can only be considered as being able to marry up to the Black Bear Demon.
Since they were trying to marry above their station, those people gave the Black Bear Demon some expensive gifts when they saw him.
Some people gave scriptures, some gave sandalwood, some gave cloth shoes, and some gave famous paintings, etc. Since these things were given as gifts, they were naturally extraordinary.
The Black Bear Demon was very generous in receiving gifts, but he soon encountered people who asked him for something. They turned out to be Jin Chanzi, Sun Wukong and others.
At this time, Jin Chanzi was no longer as energetic as when he left Lingshan, and his eyes were full of loss.
Because the cassock given to him by the Buddha was no longer on him, as it had been taken away by the Black Bear Demon. That was not all, the weapons of his disciples Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing also fell into the hands of the Black Bear Demon.
Originally they were enemies, and would fight and kill each other whenever they met. But now when Jin Chanzi met Sun Wukong and the others, because he needed a favor, Jin Chanzi could only call them in an unusually polite and respectful manner.
"Congratulations, Junior Brother!"
