Spirit Charm circulated in that Daoist, as if the concept of the human world and Human Dao Destiny were converging on the left and right. In an instant, there was a strong impression that "I am the middle flow", and the place where I am is the center of the human world, impacted Guanyin Bodhisattva's heart, making his expression slightly stagnant.
But that mysterious charm dissipated in just an instant, mixed into the wind, and never existed again. The Daoist walked down the steps of Treasury Chamber, with a calm expression and a clean temperament, like a young man who can be seen everywhere in Mortal World.
He stretched out his hand and rubbed the top of Young Daoist Attendant's head, praised him a lot, then reached into his arms, took out some copper coins and put them in Young Daoist Attendant's palm, and asked him to buy some candied haws with a smile.
Young Daoist Attendant cheered, stretched out his hand and hugged young Daoist hard.
Then he went happily.
Old Green Ox scratched his head, sighed, looked at Qi WuHuo and Guanyin, laughed a few times, and pointedly said, "The little guy doesn't know the way. I was afraid that this little guy would be kidnapped and ran away, so I followed behind to protect him. Besides, I also have some things to buy, so I bought them on the way, haha."
After Old Green Ox left, only Qi WuHuo and Guanyin were left here.
The Daoist invited Guanyin inside to talk. The latter looked deeply at Treasury Chamber and stepped inside. Qi WuHuo poured him a cup of tea and asked, "Guanyin Bodhisattva came to my place. Do you have anything to ask?"
Guanyin remained silent for a long time, sighed, and said, "True Person..."
When he recalled what happened during this period, he could faintly smell the fishy wind Blood Rain, rushing towards his face, making his Spiritual Mechanism feel a huge pressure, almost feeling like he was about to be out of breath. With Guanyin's ability to sense cause and effect, he had a kind of induction in the Unseen -
Just now, the fate of all living things has changed.
If this Daoist comes out of the seclusion at this moment and immediately fights with the Buddhas outside the seclusion, it can be regarded as a conflict that breaks out in advance and he resolves it in advance. Although the Buddhas are injured, Buddha Lineages will not be completely injured. Although Guanyin does not like the behavior of the current Buddhas, he is a Buddhist practitioner after all. I hope that the Buddha Dharma will be broad and compassionate.
He had great determination and believed that it was possible for Buddhism to go astray and get back on the right track at the cost and pain of the death of one or two Buddhas. However, True Martial Great Emperor sent that Young Daoist Attendant to force the Buddhas back, but he said he had come a decade earlier.
It is to transfer the conflict at this moment to a period of sixty years later.
It can be regarded as a strong momentum!
A century ago, some great Spirit Charms have been shown to have mysterious means that are said to be the law of the world and can drive away the Buddhas. After such a True Martial Demon Queller Great Emperor has been gathering momentum for a period of time, it comes out of the pass again, takes advantage of the momentum, and travels 30,000 miles straight out of the pass. What kind of Blood Rain trouble will it set off?
The conflict that will break out by that time will be ten times and a hundred times more than it is now. This period has not yet begun, but it has already made Guanyin's heart tremble, and he is faintly unable to control his mind. He was silent for a long time, and finally asked sincerely:
"I wonder what True Person wants to do?"
"Do you want to [kill] all the Buddhas?"
The Daoist did not answer directly, but said, "Does Guanyin Bodhisattva know what happened in that Lantuo Temple?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva was stunned.
Qi WuHuo spread his fingers slightly, grasping the traces of cause and effect, and then used these causes and effects to pass on to Guanyin the many pictures he had seen and known before, including the bone Magic Artifact, there were Physical Body Buddha, and there was old monk who died protecting the people. Pictures flashed by, and the expression on Guanyin's face slowly solidified, and finally turned into silence.
Supreme Xuanwei asked, "Can such Buddhist teachings be erased?"
"Yes."
"If the Buddhas invade the human world, can the human world counterattack?"
Guanyin looked sad, but answered without any hesitation, saying:
"Yes."
"Then, if the Buddhas do not come after a period of time, Pindao will never go to the Buddhist kingdoms in the Western Heaven to stop them; but if they come again after a period of time, is it reasonable for Pindao to fight back?"
Guanyin said, "It's natural and reasonable."
Supreme Xuanwei True Person was sitting there, and there was a dark snake circling over. It stretched out its head from behind and rubbed the Daoist's shoulder affectionately. A pair of golden eyes looked at monk in front of him curiously. Qi WuHuo thought for a while and replied, "Then, this is the Daoist's explanation."
Guanyin Bodhisattva put his hands together, but did not answer anything. Qi WuHuo saw that there was still sadness on his face after all - Guanyin had been in the Buddhist country for a long time, so he knew the Buddha Lineages's desire for the vast Dharma, and knew how persistent the Buddhas would be when faced with the unprecedented opportunity of prosperity in the human world.
During these few eons, many Buddhist practitioners were like drowning in the endless ocean and could only struggle.
17 Buddha Lineages The Buddhist Kingdom is like a big boat, eager to cross the boundless sea of suffering. The practitioners either stand on the big boat, or they can only lie on the edge of the big boat with their hands, being blown by the wind, rain, and swept by the storm. Their bodies are like fluttering, ups and downs, and they cannot rest for a long time.
At this time, a complete continent appeared in front of them, with countless food, wide land and houses that could shelter from the wind and rain. How could people who had been beaten by wind and rain for several catastrophes miss such an opportunity?
For Zhu Buddha Lineages, this is an opportunity that has not been encountered in several tribulations.
So he knows that Zhu Buddha Lineages will not give up.
For the human race created by Emperor Wa, this is also an opportunity that has not been encountered in several tribulations. It is an opportunity for the human race to grow and Emperor Wa to return.
The human race who knows all this will never allow Buddhism to invade Human Dao Destiny.
This is a huge conflict that neither side will look back on.
The Daoist stood up, with the sleeves of his Daoist robe hanging down, holding the scroll in his hand, and said, "The Yijiazi I mentioned was inferred through cause and effect and luck, but that is actually just a cover. If they come, it will be a big war; if they don't come, will I still kill Western Heaven Buddha Kingdom?"
The Daoist stretched out his hand and said, "The human world is to avoid obstacles."
"The sea of suffering is boundless, but when you turn around you will find the shore."
The sea of suffering is boundless, but when you turn around, you will find the shore...
Guanyin remained silent for a long time, finally sighed, clasped his hands together, and said:
"The poor monk will turn back to the Western Heaven Buddha Kingdom to warn the Buddhas, hoping that they can really turn back."
Qi WuHuo suddenly felt the revival of Qi, which was the breath of Ran Deng. He was a little surprised. Guanyin also sensed this breath after a few breaths. The Daoist said:
"Speaking of which, Pindao has an old friend here. He was also found at Lantuo Temple. It was True Lord Shangqing Dongxuan who sent him here. He took the elixir and rested for a few days. He woke up today. Bodhisattva, why don't we come and see him together."
Guanyin nodded.
Qi WuHuo took Guanyin to the back room. When he opened the door, he saw that Ran Deng had opened his eyes. His body was wrapped with cloth soaked in medicine. His palms were holding on to the wall. The veins on his arms were prickly. He tried to stand up. His body was constantly shaking, showing his weakness.
Guanyin subconsciously exclaimed, "It's really you, Senior Ran Deng?!"
This low cry disturbed the mind, and Ran Deng let go with a breath. He swayed and sat back on the bed again. The movement of getting up seemed to have exhausted all his foundation and strength. He knelt on the bed and gasped for breath. His face, which had been darkened by the sun when he had walked among the mountains and seas, now turned pale, and large drops of cold sweat oozed from his forehead.
"It's Guanyin, and... heh... is it Fellow Daoist Wuhuo?"
Ran Deng recognized the person who was coming, and his vigilance suddenly relaxed, he clasped his hands together and said:
"Did you save me?"
Guanyin replied, "It's not me, it's..."
Qi WuHuo did not answer the call, but appeared next to Ran Deng, stretched out his hand and gently pressed monk's shoulder. A mellow Qi poured into Ran Deng's body and quickly submerged into his body to warm and nourish his body. Qi WuHuo said, "Master Ran Deng, your foundation is seriously damaged. Don't force yourself now, just take a good rest."
"Ahem... it's okay to be a poor monk, but there is something wrong with Lantuo Temple, Lantuo Temple!"
Ran Deng reached out and grabbed Qi WuHuo's arm, lowered his voice, and said in a quick and forceful tone:
"Immediately, go to the Western Heaven Buddha Kingdom to find the Buddha to come forward and suppress Lantuo Temple. All the Bodhisattvas inside have gone into evil ways and are becoming more and more extreme in their practice. Ahem, there are 3,764 people trapped in Lantuo Temple. We must rescue them."
Qi WuHuo fell silent.
Guanyin looked vaguely painful.
Ran Deng seemed to understand something and murmured, "Buddha, do you have any questions?"
Qi WuHuo replied, "Lantuo Temple's behavior was to plot the fate of the human world; and many of his actions were with the tacit approval of all Buddhas. Even when my Daoist friend came forward, one Buddha made a move in the air to save Lantuo Temple's many evil-doing Bodhisattvas."
The Buddhas acquiesced.
Buddha intervened to protect him.
Ran Deng's expression was painful and complicated, his eyes were blank and vague, and he said, "Lantuo Temple, what about now?"
Qi WuHuo said, "It was stepped on by a friend of Pindao."
"All the people inside have been rescued."
After hearing these words, Ran Deng's eyes burned with light again, with a look of hope, even a look of pleading. He stepped forward and asked softly, "People, how many more are there?"
Qi WuHuo said, "More than seven hundred people."
"More than seven hundred people..."
This number pierced Ran Deng's heart like a sharp knife, causing his body to sway, as if he had lost all his strength in an instant. The palm holding Qi WuHuo's sleeve robe suddenly loosened, and then fell down. His expression was pale, and his originally straight back suddenly collapsed. He immediately closed his eyes, tears flowing from the corners of his eyes, and murmured:
"It's actually like this, how could it be like this?"
Qi WuHuo could feel a strong sadness from monk in front of him. The foundation of Ran Deng itself was broken due to torture. At this moment, under the extreme sadness, his mind was a little scattered and his energy was chaotic. The Daoist pressed his shoulder with one hand and said, "Master Ran Deng, what happened to you?"
He was asking, and he also hoped that Ran Deng could divert his thoughts.
Monk closed his eyes and replied, "Demon Realm After the farewell, the poor monk briefly returned to the Buddhist Kingdom, and then noticed that in the thousand years since I left, an extreme and persistent practice seemed to have gradually flourished inside the Buddhist Kingdom. I was worried that such practice would make them gradually go astray, so I explored all the way..."
Along with Ran Deng's narration, Qi WuHuo and Guanyin seemed to have seen his experience, saw him discover clues, gradually follow the clues, and finally discovered Lantuo Temple. However, they found that while they were helping him along the way, friends who had been practicing for eight thousand years had also fallen into such evil ways.
When Ran Deng desperately wanted to save those people, it also meant that he had entered a desperate situation.
Then he was betrayed by a fellow Daoist whom he absolutely trusted, and was nailed directly through the back with a dirty Magic Artifact.
In the end, Ran Deng struggled for a long time, but was defeated because Demon Kingdom's injuries had not healed; Lantuo Temple A group of Buddhist practitioners captured Ran Deng, but they couldn't kill him, and they couldn't release him. After all, Ran Deng was an extraordinary creature, and no matter whether he killed him or released him, he would cause many troubles.
Without further ado, he found thirteen bone-penetrating blood nails and pierced the Dharma veins in Ran Deng's body, destroying his foundation.
Then make him [Physical Body Buddha] too!
It was sealed into the largest, most majestic and graceful Buddha statue in the entire Lantuo Temple, and the core of the Garbhadhatu Mandala seal suppressed the strong Buddhist aura of Ran Deng. If the monk Human Heart hadn't still had the persistence to inform the outside world and rescue the people here, he would have been extinct long ago.
Now that he knew that the Buddha was behind Lantuo Temple, and that the people were dead, Ran Deng felt gloomy for a moment, and his roots were basically broken. Originally, he could still hold it in with his strong thoughts, but now he was so devastated that his energy channels flowed wildly and scattered, and countless Buddha light spread out from his body.
Guanyin looked anxious and said:
"Senior Ran Deng, please calm down first, otherwise, your cultivation will..."
Ran Deng did not restrain his dissipated Qi, and just let it dissipate, saying, "Guanyin, you entered Buddhism when you were young. I once watched you step into the Buddhist kingdom. Why do you practice Buddhism?"
What is the purpose of practicing Buddhism?
For the vast Dharma?
Or is it Save All Living Beings?
Guanyin didn't know how to answer for a while.
Ran Deng sat cross-legged, Shi Abhaya Mudra, Shi Varada Mudra, compassionate and gentle, and said softly:
"Buddha once asked me a question before he disappeared, [Where is the end of spiritual practice?]"
"I Suffering of Suffering meditated for eighteen days and didn't know how to answer him. When I woke up from my thinking, he had already passed away and entered Nirvana. I didn't answer him and I didn't know what his answer was."
"I practiced Buddhism just to find an answer. I originally thought that when I reached the same realm as him, I would be able to answer his questions. However, in such a long time, I have practiced Buddhism for seventeen channels, but I still have not been able to reach his side."
Guanyin Seeing that his Yuan Qi was dissipated and his spiritual light was dim, he hurriedly comforted him:
"Buddhism is boundless. If you continue to practice, you will definitely find the answer!"
"Answer? Maybe..."
"I used to think so too."
Ran Deng said, "Now I understand that Seventeen Lineages of Buddhas will acquiesce to Lantuo Temple's behavior."
"Perhaps not all of them acquiesced, but at least some of them did not object. Such practice itself has deviated from the Buddha's Dharma. How could I go to his side and answer his questions if I practice their seventeen-channel Dharma?"
old monk, who spent 17,000 years practicing the 17-channel Buddhism and then destroyed the foundation of the 17-channels, sighed.
It seemed like I had put down something heavy that I had held for a long time, and I felt a sudden sense of relief.
He said:
"I don't practice Buddhism anymore!
No more practicing Buddhism!
There seemed to be a huge determination in these four words. Both Guanyin and Qi WuHuo felt the indignation and determination in it, so they knew that they could no longer comfort him. They could only watch the foundation of monk, who was said to have accompanied the original Buddha, to be extinguished, like a light about to go out.
But at this moment, a little head popped out from the window sill.
It was made of pink and jade, with a hawthorn coated in syrup in its mouth, chewing it with big mouthfuls.
Little Medicine Spirit, who bought Tanghulu, just came back and heard those words.
He doesn't look like Qi WuHuo or Guanyin. He doesn't see as much as they do, and he doesn't see as clearly as they do.
So there was no trace of dust in his heart, he just smiled and said:
"You don't want to practice Buddhism anymore? Then why don't you come with us?"
"We don't practice Buddhism, we--"
"Cultivation!"
