In "Journey to the West", the pagoda of Li Jing, the king of Tota, is not an ordinary thing, but a gift from the Buddha. This pagoda has an extraordinary origin, and its existence is born of a deep fatherly love and redemption.
It is said that when Nezha was seven years old, he accidentally killed the third prince of the Dragon King, which was like throwing a boulder on the calm lake, stirring up a monstrous wave. The dragon ** was angry and vowed to ask Nezha to fight with his life. At that critical moment, in order to appease the anger of the Dragon King, Li Jing forced Nezha to commit suicide in desperation. Nezha resolutely cut the flesh to return to his mother, deboned and returned his father, turned his body into nothingness, leaving only a wisp of remnant soul, and flew ethereal to the Western Elysium.
In Elysium, Nezha's soul knelt before the Buddha and pleaded for salvation. The Buddha was compassionate and used the lotus flower to transform into a new body and give Nezha a new life. and announced that Nezha would have a relationship with the Buddha from now on, and should take the Buddha as his father.
However, after being reborn, Nezha still has resentment in his heart, and his hatred for Li Jing has not disappeared. In order to resolve this grievance between father and son, the Buddha decided to give Li Jing a delicate pagoda after careful consideration. This pagoda is not only a ritual vessel, but also the will and teachings of the Buddha. Li Jing held the pagoda in his hand and shouldered the responsibility of disciplining Nezha, in this way to guide Nezha to the right path and resolve the conflict between their father and son. This pagoda has also become a witness to the grievances between their father and son, and it is circulated in the story of "Journey to the West".
