Chapter 1920 Flesh
Chu Huan nodded slightly and said, "What do you mean is that the countries in the Western Regions regard the eight tribes as their own guardian deities, and the guardian deities in each country are also different?"
He Gu thought for a while and said, "I was born in the Central Plains, so I don't know much about the Western Regions. But our ghost side has a custom that children under ten years old have to go to Chaowu Peak every year to receive the education of Gui Lao. There are five days every year, children over four years old and under ten years old in the clan gather at Chaowu Peak. Gui Lao will tell us the story of our ancestors and tell us the legend of the python god, but not everyone will remember it."
"Brother He Gu still remembers some?"
He Gu said: "But later I heard my father talk about it, so I know more."
Chu Huan laughed and said, "Has the old man Gui said that the great python god you worshipped is the eight guardians of the Daxin Sect?"
He Gu nodded and said, "That's true. Our ancestors are said to have believed in the Great Heart Sect. However, after they came to Central Earth, the Buddha Sect in Central Earth had its own Middle Earth. Once they worshipped the gods of the Xin Sect openly and were known by the Middle Earth Buddha Sect, they would cause great trouble." After a pause, they slowly said, "So our ancestors have never dared to disclose the truth that they are Buddhists of the Xin Sect, but they just worship their own guardian gods in private."
Chu Huan leaned forward slightly and asked, "Do you know the Kingdom of Gamo?"
He Gu was stunned, as if he was a little surprised, and asked back: "Daker knows the Kingdom of Gamo?"
When Chu Huan heard He Gu's tone, he seemed to have a good understanding of the Kingdom of Gamo. He stretched his eyebrows and said, "In this way, does the Brothers of He Gu really know that there is the Kingdom of Gamo?" His tone was gentle: "Can you tell me what you know about the Kingdom of Gamo?"
Seeing Chu Huan's face full of interest, He Gu thought for a while, and then said: "As far as I know, the Kingdom of Gamo no longer exists. A long time ago, the Kingdom of Gamo had been renamed Futuo!"
"Futuo Kingdom?"
"In the words of Central Plains, it means the Buddha's kingdom." He Gu explained: "When our ancestors left the Western Regions and came to the Central Plains, the Kingdom of Gamo had become the capital of Futuo Kingdom. The capital of Futuo Kingdom was also renamed Gemala City. It is the holy land of Xinzong and the Buddhist temple of Daxinzong. It is said to be in Gemala City." Obviously, he was worried that Chu Huan could not understand, and explained again: "Gemala City in the words of Central Plains is called Lotus City!"
"Lotus City?" Chu Huan was stunned.
He Gu nodded and said, "I heard my father say that the Daxin Sect first came from India. The Buddhists from India came to the Western Regions to preach Buddhism. However, at that time, the Western Regions had many misunderstandings about the Buddhists of the Xinzong. Many countries even harmed the Buddhists of the Xinzong, so many people died." After a pause, he said, "Father said that it was the time when the Buddhas in the Western Regions, countless Buddhists left their hometowns and fled to the Kingdom of Gamo. Because among the kings of the Western Regions, the king of the Kingdom of Gamo was the only king who believed in the Xinzong. The Kingdom of Gamo was located in a remote place and the country was very poor and weak. However, in the most dangerous time, he still took in the Buddhists of the Xinzong who fled."
When Chu Huan first heard the name of the Kingdom of Gamo, he learned from Rodo that when he heard what He Gu said, it was not much different from what Rodo said.
"Do you know the Buddha Sect's Heavenly Dragon?" Chu Huan stared at He Gu and asked.
He Gu's face suddenly showed a look of awe and said, "It turns out that Dake had also heard of the Buddha Sect's Heavenly Dragon? His father said that because the Kingdom of Gamo took in a large number of Buddhists, the country's population was increasing, and many wise men helped King Gamo to govern the Kingdom. The Kingdom of Gamo gradually became stronger, which made many people uneasy. So later, many countries formed an alliance to attack the Kingdom of Gamo. Although the Kingdom of Gamo became powerful, it was outnumbered in the face of a huge enemy. At the most dangerous time, the Buddha Sect's Heavenly Dragon descended from the sky. It is said that he was a Heavenly Dragon sent by the Peacock King Bodhisattva, transformed into a human form and appeared on a divine bird!"
Chu Huan gathered intently and thought that this incredible scene really happened in the Kingdom of Gamo. He Gu was born in the Central Plains. These people have been passed down for several generations in the Central Plains, but they still have a good understanding of this past. There is no doubt that this is an unforgettable past that the people of the Western Regions have passed down from generation to generation.
"The gods descended to earth, and then everyone knew that the magic power of the Peacock King Bodhisattva was boundless." He Gu said in awe: "So from that time on, many countries in the Western Regions began to believe in the Xin Sect and found their own guardian gods."
"Do you know what happened to the Buddhist sect's dragon later?" Chu Huan asked.
Hegu shook his head, "I asked, but my father didn't know what happened later. He just knew that after King Gamo passed away, there would be no new king. The Kingdom of Gamo became the Kingdom of Futu, and the capital of the Kingdom of Gamo was also renamed Gmara."
Chu Huan pondered for a moment and finally asked, "Did you ever hear a strange thing?"
"What's the matter?"
"Six dragons gather troops, the Bodhisattva opens the door!"
He Gu thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I have never heard this sentence before. Dake, where did this come from?"
"This is not important." Chu Huan shook his head. In fact, he knew that He Gu knew that this was extremely unlikely. He just gave it a try. He asked again: "The Buddha Sect Heavenly Dragon you mentioned rides down to earth on a divine bird. Has the Ghost Lord ever told you what the divine bird looks like?"
He Gu shook his head and said, "That was a long time ago. My father just heard from his ancestors that we don't know what the divine bird looks like."
Chu Huan nodded slightly and said, "Who will manage such a huge country without a king in the Buddha's kingdom? Although the countries in the Western Regions have converted to the Daxin Sect, they still have kings after all, and they can still govern the country. But Futuo is not a small country. There are dozens of people in the world, so there are nearly one million people. In addition to believing in Buddhism, they also have to eat, drink, defecate, and slaughter. Without a king, who will govern them?"
He Gu smiled and said, "Although there is no king, there is still a holy king in the Buddha's kingdom."
Chu Huan thought that it was true. It seemed that the Holy King was not an unknown secret in the Western Regions. After all, the Buddha Kingdom is a big country in the Western Regions. According to Rado, although the Holy King also had an influence on the Buddha Sect, his main job was to govern the country.
"Since the Holy King governs the country, isn't it the same as the king?" Chu Huan pretended to be puzzled and said, "Is there any difference between the two?"
Seeing that the tall King of Chu looked like he was asking for advice, He Gu felt a little proud and immediately said, "Of course there is a difference. When he was in the Kingdom of Gamo, the old kings passed the throne to his children, but the Holy King was different!"
"Is the Holy King chosen?" Chu Huan said in surprise.
After all, in this era, there is no democratic election at all.
He Gu actually nodded and said seriously: "Dake is right. According to his father, the saints of Xinzong have indeed been selected!" He seemed to understand Chu Huan's doubts and explained: "But the Holy King was not chosen by the members of Xinzong, but by the Buddha Mother!"
"Buddha Mother?" Chu Huan was stunned.
He Gu's expression seemed even more solemn, saying, "Dake knew the Great Heart Sect, so he naturally knew that the Peacock King Bodhisattva, and the Peacock King Bodhisattva was the Buddha's mother."
Chu Huan nodded slightly. He was quite clear about the allusion of the Peacock King Bodhisattva. He had a lot of contact with people from the Heart Sect and had already known that the highest god worshipped by the Heart Sect is the Peacock King Bodhisattva. The Peacock King has a supreme position in the hearts of the Buddhists of the Heart Sect.
But he had a question at this moment. Although the Buddhists of the Xin Sect believed in the Peacock King Bodhisattva, after all, the Peacock King Bodhisattva was just an illusory god, but a kind of spiritual belief. How could such an illusory god choose a sage king?
"So does Dake know that the Peacock King Bodhisattva has a body of transformation in the world?" He Gu asked.
Chu Huan suddenly understood something and asked, "What do you mean is that the Peacock King Bodhisattva has a physical body in the human world?"
He Gu nodded and said, "That's what my father said. The Buddha's temple in Gemala City is the temple of the Xin Sect, and it is also where the Buddha's mother and the Holy King are located. The Buddha's mother's body has always been in the Buddha's temple. The Peacock King's Bodhisattva transforms into a human form, guards the temple, protects the Buddhists of the Xin Sect and the Xin Sect. The eight tribes are all subordinates of the Ming Wang Bodhisattva."
Chu Huan was quite surprised. Although he already knew the existence of the Holy King, the Eight Tribes and even the Sixteen Arhats, no one had ever told the Peacock King Bodhisattva that had a physical body in this world. Even Rado had never mentioned the physical body of Peacock King Bodhisattva.
"Brother He Gu, do you know how Peacock King Bodhisattva chooses the Holy King?" Chu Huan asked softly with a solemn expression.
He Gu also looked solemn and said, "Peacock King Bodhisattva wants to inherit the body, so he will choose a man to be her spouse, so that the body can be passed on forever."
Chu Huan immediately understood and said in surprise: "You mean, the Holy King and the Holy King are the husband of the Buddha's mother?"
His shock was quite extraordinary. After all, in his opinion, even if the physical body of the Peacock King Bodhisattva is of a high status, he is still a Buddhist. Chu Huan always felt that the four elements of the Buddhist children were empty, and that wine, sex, money and energy cannot be touched, and marriage will naturally not exist.
But now I realize that the Buddha Mother of the Heart Sect is unique and can find a spouse and give birth to offspring. According to He Gu, the child born to the Buddha Mother is the new body of the Buddha Mother and has the obligation and right to inherit the name of the Buddha Mother.
He Gu nodded and said, "This is what Mr. Gui once told us, and I still remember it. The spouse selected by the Buddha Mother is the Holy King. The Buddha Mother gave the Holy King the power to manage the country."
Chu Huan's face was horrified at this moment, but he suddenly thought of something.
As far as he knows, the Holy King came to the Central Plains to look for dragon relics, and brought his pregnant wife to the scene. Later, on the day the child gave birth, he was surrounded by the Divine Uniform Guard led by Xuanyuan Pingzhang. The Holy King and his wife burned themselves in the flames. Chu Huan still doesn't know what the final outcome of the baby that the Holy King had just given birth to.
If what He Gu said was true, then those who burned themselves in the fire with the Holy King that day suddenly had the supreme Buddha Mother of the Great Heart Sect.
