The Bodhisattva Guanyin's avatar spoke, and instantly Tao Qian and the Fish Basket Guanyin paused in surprise.
Great Demon Tao originally thought that the true form would invite the Great Master Guanyin to cast great divine powers to capture this fake "Fish Basket Guanyin."
Yet, who would have expected this turn of events?
"Good heavens!"
"I, the Demon Child, am to beco Ma Lang this ti?"
Tao Qian's quip arose from a Buddhist Sect tale.
There once was a Demon Cultivator nad "Ma Lang," a naturally gifted talent born in the Demon Buddha Temple, a rare find for a thousand years. One day, he gazed upon a clay statue of the Great Master Guanyin, fell in love, and wreaked havoc countless tis to see the Bodhisattva's true form. Several Arhats and even Buddhas from the Demon Buddha Temple secretly plotted behind him, attempting to lure the Great Master Guanyin to the human world and slay her on the spot.
Unexpectedly, the Great Master employed a subli dharma, secretly assuming the form of a woman from the Human Clan, quietly marrying Ma Lang.
Not only did she dissipate the evil fate, but she also enlightened Ma Lang, bringing him into All Heavens Buddhism.
Today, he might as well be called "Ma Lang Arhat" now.
The details and secrets within cannot be fully conveyed with just a few words; in essence, it is an exchange between the Demon Buddha Temple and Guanyin Temple. The calculation by the Demon Buddha Temple failed, and Guanyin Temple turned the tables on them.
However, as tis change, Tao Qian did not believe the tale's fate could simply be replicated.
Sure enough, as soon as the Bodhisattva Guanyin's avatar finished speaking, the Fake Fish Basket Bodhisattva rolled around furiously, shouting:
"Thief Bodhisattva, you're dreaming."
"I am of the Seven Slaughter, not of your Guanyin's blood bone."
"I am the master of slaughter, all living beings are fish, at my rcy."
"To marry to this kid, does he deserve it?"
Fish Basket Guanyin shouted as she continued to struggle.
Yet, she seed extrely restrained by Guanyin Great Master's avatar; under the Buddha Light, she couldn't move at all. Though upon closer inspection, it was evident that after suppression, the avatar's energy wasn't flowing smoothly, but still had so spare power to deal with.
The confrontation ended swiftly, proving the superiority between the genuine and counterfeit.
Hearing her shouting, Tao Qian sneered at her:
", undeserving?"
"Know that I am the Ancestor Land Demon Son, the destined Secret Demon Sect Master, the future reviver; you, slaughterer of fish, drenched in foul odor, are truly unworthy of ."
"The Great Master's kindness, this village girl cannot withstand."
"The real reason she rejects this thod is indeed fear of the 'Ten Thousand Desires Yin Yang Pillow' I hold. She fears that not only she won't be able to enlighten , but she might end up trapped in the epheral dream I weave, losing both her dignity and her army."
...
Tao Qian's words hit the mark.
At this mont, the Fake Fish Basket Guanyin could not contain the growing killing intent in her heart soul and was filled with regret.
She initially thought she would easily subdue this little demon disguising as god demon as the avatar of the "Seven Slaughter Bodhisattva."
Yet, the Secret Demon Child's traps repeatedly put her in disgrace and cost her dearly.
Now, she risked losing everything.
No, starting from Tao Qian's ritual summoning of the Great Master Guanyin's avatar, the true "Fish Basket Guanyin" entering the world, she was already dood to a crushing defeat.
At this very mont!
In the Seven Slaughter Buddha Country, the mighty god demon Seven Slaughter Bodhisattva was jumping in rage, frantically cursing the "Great Master Guanyin" for ddling, vowing never to forget this animosity.
Alas, it was futile angry ranting.
Her avatar copied others' Buddhist law, thus subject to its restraint, as expected.
Were it a fight between true forms, the Seven Slaughter Bodhisattva might truly not lose to the Great Master Guanyin.
Right now, it was clear who was the fish on the chopping block.
The Great Master's avatar, after hearing Tao Qian's words, turned to him, seemingly seeing through his mind at a glance, and mysteriously smiled: "A tale can be replicated; since you've asked that child to speak, I shall bestow upon you a great fate."
Upon hearing this, Great Demon Tao had no ti to complain about the Buddhist Sect's telepathy technique, as he saw the Great Master's avatar suddenly transform into a ray of Buddha Light, piercing into the Fish Basket Guanyin's body.
Midway, the sound of Buddha echoed:
"All cultivation cos at a price."
"My enlightennt thod is not ant to trouble you deliberately; bearing the Fish Basket na entails this cost."
"Previously, your true form cast a spell to forcibly delay; now that you encounter again, you cannot escape."
"You needn't be anxious; if you can enlighten this child, you won't need to follow the couple's path; if unable to do so, falling into it, becoming his wife or concubine, wouldn't be a loss as he is a Secret Demon Genius, broad in Dao path."
Before the words fell, both the Fake Fish Basket Guanyin and Tao Qian guessed the avatar's intention.
Forcing union!
The counterfeit Fish Basket unwillingly resists, so the genuine one rges, demanding the paynt of the previously avoided cost.
This scene was indeed rough.
Yet Fish Basket simply couldn't resist.
And Great Demon Tao faced a difficult decision, full of internal complaints, grumbling:
"What happened to the rciful Guanyin, I exerted great effort to invite her here, only to resolve it this way."
"I, Tao Qian, a dignified Secret Demon Genius, if truly to wed, should marry a Daoist Fairy, Buddhist Saintess, or Outer Heaven Witch... How did it co to this fierce shrew?"
"Should I just run away?"
Just as Tao Qian pondered fleeing.
Suddenly, a change occurred.
First, revelations from the Divination Worm presented visions regarding future predictions, halting him in his tracks, prompting thorough examination.
Then, the fully purple-black skinned Fish Basket Guanyin gradually shrank under the flashing Buddha Light, and upon a closer look, she transford into a beautiful, mature, and charmingly alluring woman.
Upon seeing this lady, Great Demon Tao imdiately stopped, muttering phrases like "now she looks like a proper Fish Basket" and "I'll accept this."
The luscious won carrying a Fish Basket elegantly approached.
With a divine expression but a teasing tone, she said:
"Good husband, you aim to achieve Secret Demon resurgence, facing minor troubles and resorting to escape does not bode well for a real man."
"Do not fret; though you are a demon child, at the core you are one of our righteous path, I would not harm you."
"This opportunity is a great fortune for you, embrace it with ease."
After speaking, this beautiful woman suddenly revealed a look of joy on her face.
She reached into the fish basket and drew out a vibrant red string, inscribed with evil fate, smiling as she continued:
"Indeed, the karma runs deep."
"A fragnt of the Red Rope God was swallowed by her, yet a [Evil Fate Red Rope] remains in her stomach."
"Once I perform a ritual, it will be perfect for invoking good fortune."
As she spoke, this striking Bodhisattva had already grasped the red rope and was rubbing it with her hands.
After nine strokes, all the evil aura was gone, and Buddha light flowed.
The beautiful woman waved her hand to withdraw the Heavenly Intent Killing Needles, and placed the [Ten Thousand Desires Yin Yang Pillow] into Tao Qian's arms, deftly tying the red rope around their wrists.
"This rope should be called the [Heart-binding Rope]. Once it's tied, it ensures that you both will be free from evil and calamity, and enjoy heavenly fortune."
"To enter the bridal chamber, other arrangents must also be made, although ti is short, let this Jade Pillow transform in the dream. The accompanying spiritual treasure of the Yin Yang Elder, of great utility in big matters, yet versatile in small ones."
Tao Qian gazed at the scene before him, truly bewildered.
Is this really an avatar sent by the Guanyin Master?
Where in the world does a Guanyin Bodhisattva play matchmaker, could it be another impersonation?
The doubts just arose, but were quickly dispelled by the Divination Worm's predictions, as he saw the conclusion, Great Demon Tao's heart was left with no resistance, instead overwheld with joy.
Standing firm, in perfect harmony.
Soon, they lay with earth as their bed and sky as their blanket, the red rope binding them, sharing the Yin Yang pillow.
In a blink, they entered an epheral dream.
In the dream, Great Demon Tao was evidently more uninhibited than in reality.
He paid no heed to the fact that the "beautiful woman" in front of him had a Blood Bone Body, though indeed a Fake Fish Basket Guanyin, yet her appearance and sovereign will were truly that of the genuine Fish Basket Guanyin. He brazenly attempted to remove her clothes, showing a hurried deanor.
But quickly, his hands were bound by the red rope, and the beauty smiled playfully, pointing a slender jade finger at Tao Qian's forehead, saying:
"Husband, take it slow!"
"Though it's rely a formality, the ritual cannot be abandoned, otherwise this divine demon woman body won't be transford."
"You recite three sutras to summon to enter the world, but this Blood Bone Body stems from [Seven Slaughter Bodhisattva], and the three sutras hold no restraint over her; to her ears, they are just an unbearable nuisance."
"However, she has borrowed my na indeed, so by earnestly reciting once the 'Guanyin Heart Sutra', you might subdue her..."
The beautiful woman's body trembled suddenly, her face showing a struggle.
Once twisted, she imdiately cursed:
"Thief Guanyin!"
"How contemptible and shaless of you, falsely claiming to be a Great Saint."
"I am Seven Slaughter Bodhisattva, forged through refining Guanyin's Buddhism; to complete the ritual truly, one should recite the 'Seven Slaughter Reversed Buddha Guanyin Bodhisattva's General Gate', 'Seven Slaughter's Saying of Vajra Sutra', and 'Seven Slaughter Interpretation of the Lotus Sutra'. When did it beco your 'Guanyin Heart Sutra'? What does the sutra have to do with ?"
As soon as these words were finished, her body was quickly seized back by the Guanyin Master's avatar.
Seemingly unheard, she continued smiling gently: "Lend your ear to , I'll recite it once for you."
...
Seeing these scenes, even a fool could tell the underlying oddity.
Yet Tao Qian, without a hint of caution, leaned in.
At the next mont, he experienced the good fortune of whispering close, as the beautiful woman breathed softly, truly reciting the 'Guanyin Heart Sutra' tenderly and eloquently.
Great Demon Tao, being a Secret Demon Genius, could recite even Buddhist sect scriptures fluently after hearing them once.
But this ti, he stumbled for a full fifteen minutes before managing to complete the Sutra.
After listening, the Master paused, and then on her divine, solemn visage appeared a look of disbelief.
Yet quickly, it changed to a joyful expression.
She brought her hands together in prayer, nodded with a smile, and said:
"Tao, indeed, you are a Great Master cultivating all Three Teachings, such skill, such insight."
"The ritual is complete; Seven Slaughter Daoist's piece of Blood Bone Body is now left to you to handle."
As soon as these words fell.
The beautiful woman's features contorted once more, her eyes filled with intense terror, letting out piercing screams.
"No, no!"
"Thief Guanyin, Thief Bodhisattva, you cannot do this."
"You use such ans causing my original body to lose its physical avatar, it's an unparalleled humiliation. My original body must pursue your Guanyin believers through Great Abyss Origin Sea and All Realms, and more, invade your Buddha Country, fighting eternally, settling eternal enmity..."
These words could not hinder herself from gradually letting go of all heart soul defenses.
Exposing everything, fully, before Tao Qian.
Even a feeble Demon Child could take this chance to plant a [Secret Demon Soul Seal] on the beautiful woman, gaining a female servant to dispose of at will.
Tao Qian upon seeing this, understood the reason for her lant?
Goodness gracious!
It was indeed humiliation.
And so, the next mont, Great Demon Tao exclaid with wonder, and promptly began planting the soul seal.
If the original body were here, it might hesitate for a mont.
But the demon child body, when does it ever stand on ceremony?
During the imprinting process, the Master's avatar leisurely replied to the Fish Basket Avatar of Seven Slaughter Bodhisattva:
"Don't clamor further!"
"Seven Slaughter dare not trouble , having stolen Buddha's tooth, they must retreat within Seven Slaughter Buddha Country for no less than a millennium to refine it sowhat."
"I do hope they co seeking trouble, as I have so interest in that Buddha tooth."
As these Buddha sounds fell, a streak of Buddha light departed from the beautiful woman's body and shattered the epheral dream illusion, heading beyond heaven.
Only amidst the dream, the Fish Basket continued wailing incessantly, and shortly transford into a series of strange rustling sounds, eventually becoming an obscene sound that made one's face flush.
Evidently, Tao Qian's demon child body truly didn't know politeness, and would never leave empty-handed.
