Chapter 207 Lotus Mother Watching Bamboo
"This is……"

The light of the sun and the moon was rotating in Chu Tai's pupils, and his "fate" was gently moved. He looked at the purple bamboo and the "two" people in purple light above him, and instantly realized that there was nothing wrong with the purple bamboo he had calculated before, and there was a person in front of him!
The so-called Taoist Zizhu is actually the incarnation of Taoist Ziguang.

The Pure Light Goddess, who also understood this, also changed her expression, but Zizhu and Ziguang attacked again.

The purple bamboo staff was waved out, purple clouds surged, the purple bamboo branches swayed casually, and the sound of the tide arose again. The combination of the two easily forced the pure light out of the void.

With a sigh in her heart, the Goddess of Pure Light knew that she had to face this wave of attacks head-on.

Silently practicing Zen and reciting scriptures, layers of Buddha's light spread out above the image of Guanyin Bodhisattva, like pieces of soft golden clouds spreading outwards.

It rose up to about ten feet above the head, and then rolled down, covering it like a ten-foot-high Buddha light tower.

However, the combined power of the purple bamboo staff and the purple bamboo branch was extraordinary. When the light tower was hit, its color immediately changed, and then a wave of sound came, making an extremely unpleasant scraping sound, and then it broke into pieces and disappeared without a trace.

Seeing this scene, Chu Tai could no longer wait. He took a step forward, avoiding the obstruction of Taoist Cuizhu in her surprised gaze, and went straight to the side of the Goddess of Pure Light. He grabbed her shoulders and took a step back to avoid the falling attack.

"Dharma?"

Taoist Yang Yan's eyes changed slightly. The moment Chu Tai moved, he concentrated and prepared to help Cui Zhu.

Unexpectedly, Chu Tai directly bypassed the obstruction of the green bamboo and rescued the Goddess of Pure Light.

"Fellow Daoist, please let you deal with Taoist Cuizhu. Tiannu, you go deal with Taoist Zizhu, and I will leave Senior Ziguang to me."

As Chu Tai spoke, he empowered himself with the power of Flying Immortal and came to the side of the purple light in one step. He raised his hand and released true Qi. Red fire and red clouds surged, and the air around him was slightly distorted.

"Hmm? With only a sixth-grade cultivation, you can master some of the Dharma. You can be called a genius. But your Dharma is useful for flying, not fighting. How dare you stop me?"

Taoist Zi Guang sneered and swung the purple bamboo branch in his hand downwards. The sound of the tide turned into a wave that washed down, the Danxia was instantly shattered, and the red fire dimmed.

Chu Tai was suppressed by the waves, but he didn't care. He chuckled and said, "If you practice his method, I'm not sure, but who told you to practice Buddhism? Or is it the method derived from Guanyin of the South Sea?"

After saying that, Chu Tai clasped his hands together and whispered, "Difficult! There is no Guanyin Bodhisattva!"

The golden lotus blossomed, and a goddess stood on it, waving a thousand hands to catch the invisible tide sound, and watching with a thousand eyes, making Zi Guang feel creepy.

The purple bamboo branches were raised, and the sound of the tide surged, driving the surging vital energy towards Chu Tai like a wave.

The Lotus Mother lowered her head with a smile on her lips, revealing a compassionate look. She waved her thousand hands as if beating a heavenly drum. There were also surging waves of sound, shaking the earth upside down. The surging sound waves spread in all directions. It was a completely indiscriminate attack.

The figure of the Goddess of Pure Light flashed, Taoist Mu Jing hid among the trees, and Taoist Zizhu wanted to step forward, but at the last moment he turned into purple clouds and flew into the sky.

Taoist Cuizhu was caught by Taoist Yangyan, who turned pale, and fled. The other monks also left after seeing what Mu Jing and the others did.

Before leaving, Taoist Zhengyang took two special glances at Chu Tai, and was finally carried away by Mo Hong and Chang Pu.

As for the Taoist Zi Guang who was facing the sound waves, she retreated again and again. The tidal sound she drove was dispersed the moment it encountered the surging sound waves. The rosy clouds on the hundreds of purple bamboo flying swords flying up and down also jumped involuntarily. The chaotic purple air made it like a pile of loose sand, and it was impossible to form an effective defense.

Some of the purple bamboo swords made of inferior materials were torn into pieces by the surging sound waves, turning into debris all over the sky.

At the moment when the sound of the tide and the sound waves collided, waves of sounds like chanting, like noisy words, and like the sound of rain and tides interweaving echoed in the void.

The strange sound rang out again and again, and finally converged into that familiar words.

"Namo Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, Namo Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, Namo Bodhisattva... Difficult! There is no Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva..."

"Hey!"

The Goddess of Pure Light clasped her hands together and chanted scriptures in a low voice. She didn't know what the owner of the Lotus Mother's Dharma image had experienced, but her sensitivity to sound and resonance with emotions, or the goddess's rudimentary divine hearing and divine telepathy, all conveyed the sorrow of the Lotus Mother's Dharma image to the goddess' heart.

The sorrow, despair and pain that she felt almost like she was experiencing herself made the goddess pray to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, wishing that all sentient beings in this world could find peace and that the Lotus Mother Dharma could be liberated.

A faint Buddha light rose in the heart of the goddess, and the originally disintegrated image of Guanyin Bodhisattva condensed into shape again, appearing faintly behind the goddess.

In contrast, Taoist Zi Guang showed a look of resentment: "You were also deceived by Buddhism? Then why are you still helping her? Wouldn't it be better for you and I to kill her and separate her Dharma? The Dharma of this goddess, Pure Light, can just be used to resolve the decadence and death in your body. Combined with the Great Brahma Thunder Sound Heart Sutra and Wonderful Flower Fragrance Accumulation Pure Land Theory inherited from her lineage, it will be enough for us to make further progress."

Taoist Zi Guang's words were quite tempting, but the one who was controlling the Lotus Mother's Dharma image at the moment was Chu Tai, so the many benefits she mentioned were just nonsense.

Chu Tai looked at Taoist Zi Guang. With the blessing of the Lotus Mother's Dharma Image, he was able to see more "fate". He also saw Taoist Zi Guang's past practice experiences and could not help but speak in a low voice.

"You accumulated 300 good deeds by taking advantage of natural disasters. There was nothing wrong with this. But the original intention of the bhikkhuni who asked you to accumulate 300 good deeds was to hope that you would take this opportunity to understand the heart of compassion. Only by holding the Nanhai Purple Bamboo with this heart can you understand the true meaning of Buddhism. This is why your affinity with Buddhism is shallow, and you will inevitably be in danger of losing the purple bamboo in the future."

"The nun hopes that you will accumulate virtue and do good deeds in the future. She also hopes that you will understand compassion and the meaning of Bodhi in the process of doing good deeds. But in the following sixty years, you did one good deed every day, but you did more evil deeds every day. The good deeds were not as good as the bad deeds. The purple bamboo spirit naturally wanted to leave."

"To put it bluntly, Zizhu doesn't want to leave, so why would she allow you to erase the Buddha nature she has accumulated over thousands of years?"

But in the eyes of outsiders, the one who spoke was the Lotus Mother Dharma Image.

The sound is like the overlapping of subtle sounds such as compassion, joy, liberation, non-leakage, wisdom, etc. However, they conflict with each other, giving people a sense of holiness and distortion, yet making people involuntarily trust what it says.

Taoist Zizhu was filled with resentment. In her eyes, Buddhism was all evil. She refused to listen to any persuasion and said angrily, "You are just pretending to be nice. Since you don't want to help me, let's die together!"
