All around the Purple Bamboo Forest Temple were blue skies and blue seas, white sand and jade-like waters. In the center were lush bamboo forests, purple Buddhist lights, and fairy mists.
Fang Jian stood on the Chaoxin Cliff and happened to see Red Boy and Black Boy walking side by side in the bamboo forest path. Red Boy looked like a teenager with a tall stature, while Black Boy was short in stature, following closely.
At this time, Guanyin Bodhisattva turned around and looked at Fang Jian with pure eyes.
Fang Jian was slightly startled, then he bowed and asked, "What does the Bodhisattva want to ask me?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva said, "This matter was entrusted to me by the ancient Buddha Dipankara. He has a question that puzzles him. Lately, the Primordial Chaos Demon has been causing trouble for him, accusing him of disguising himself as a true demon in the chaos of the ancient wasteland and stealing magical treasures. The ancient Buddha is baffled. He has never done such a thing, but the Primordial Chaos Demon's words are convincing and do not seem to be false. Moreover, True Lord Hongqing was once exiled by the Primordial Chaos Demon into the long river of time, entering the chaos of the ancient wasteland, and escaping unscathed..."
At this point, Guanyin Bodhisattva asked, "So the ancient Buddha Dipankara asked me to ask True Lord Hongqing, have you seen anything strange in the ancient chaos?"
"No." Fang Jian shook his head. "Absolutely not. The ancient chaos was harmonious. I didn't see anything."
Guanyin Bodhisattva asked, "Really?"
"Monks don't tell lies," Fang Jian said.
Guanyin Bodhisattva was stunned for a moment, then reminded Fang Jian: "You are not a monk."
Fang Jian raised his hand and offered the Vairocana Buddha Pestle, saying, "I swear in the name of Vairocana Buddha that what I said is absolutely true and absolutely true. If I am false, I will be punished by heaven and earth."
"..." Guanyin Bodhisattva said helplessly: "Fang Jian, stop talking nonsense and tell the truth quickly."
Fang Jian said, "The Bodhisattva is asking so many questions, but it's clear that he doesn't believe me. I really didn't see anything."
Guanyin Bodhisattva asked, "What about the Chaos Bell? The Chaos Primordial Demon clearly saw the Chaos Bell, and he also said that the Chaos Bell was given to you by the Ancient Buddha. How do you explain this?"
"This is slander, shameful fabrication and defamation," Fang Jian said righteously. "The Chaos Primordial Demon is so persistent because he covets my Chaos Bell. Plus, his Demonic Cult has just entered the world and is in need of good magic weapons. He's probably trying to concoct a few by defrauding them."
Guanyin Bodhisattva said: "The Chaos Demon is a Hunyuan Wuji Daluo Jinxian."
"Wouldn't the Hunyuan Wuji Daluo Jinxian be able to deceive people? Doesn't the Bodhisattva know Taishang Laojun? He is also a Hunyuan Wuji Daluo Jinxian, but he is very skilled at deceiving people." Fang Jian said, "I have been deceived by him before."
Guanyin Bodhisattva stared at Fang Jian deeply for a long time, and finally smiled helplessly: "I knew I couldn't get anything out of him. Forget it, if you don't want to say it, then don't say it."
"However," Guanyin Bodhisattva suddenly laughed and said, "How about I make a bet with you?"
Fang Jian heard this and said, "Oh? What bet?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva pointed at the two brothers Red Boy who were fishing below and said, "I bet the fish they caught are one gold, three red, and six colorful. If I win, you must answer me a question."
Fang Jian quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, no, betting is not good. As an immortal official, I should set an example and refuse to gamble!"
Upon hearing this, Guanyin Bodhisattva sighed and said, "Fang Jian, you are truly stubborn. Well, well, since you don't want to talk, I won't force you."
After saying this, a golden cloud rose from the feet of Guanyin Bodhisattva. She looked at Fang Jian and said, "Now that you have completed your work and obtained the fish, take care and I will not see you off."
"The Bodhisattva is driving me away." Fang Jian said with a smile.
Guanyin Bodhisattva said: "Look at the state of mind you lost in one glance. It would take me ten years to recover it."
After saying this, Guanyin Bodhisattva flew directly back to the Zizhulin Taoist temple on a cloud and sat back on the lotus platform.
Fang Jian shook his head and smiled, then turned into a ray of fairy light and flew to the Golden Lotus Pond outside the Purple Bamboo Forest below. The two brothers Red Boy and Black Boy were fishing in the pond with their sleeves rolled up.
Fang Jian subconsciously glanced at the fish basket next to him, and then he was stunned. He saw nine carps in the basket, one gold, three red, and five colorful ones. There was a colorful carp close to the sound that Guanyin Bodhisattva had said.
At this moment, Red Boy suddenly raised his hands from the water and shouted, "Look, brother, I caught another colorful carp, and it's three thousand years old."
After saying that, Red Boy raised his hand and threw the colorful carp in his hand into the fish basket. At the same time, he also saw Fang Jian standing by the Golden Lotus Pond.
