The Daoist's voice was calm and slow, one word at a time, but it seemed to involve countless qi. When it fell on the ears of Zhuo Yueyue, it was as loud as thunder. When the last word fell, those who were tied up monk sat down on the ground, their brains went blank, and they were stunned and unable to speak.

Transform Buddha into Tao!

Shakyamuni was changed to Tianzun, Bodhisattva was changed to Great Master, Arhat was changed to Venerable, monk became Virtuous Scholar?!

If the name is not right, the words will not go smoothly, and if the words are not right, things will not happen!

Human Dao Destiny is a force formed by the recognition of countless common people. If Human Emperor orders the restructuring and reorganization, in the eyes of the common people, Buddhism will become a branch of Daoism. Then they recognize the lineage of Buddhism and will add one step to this recognition, that is, "this is just a branch of Daoism".

Human Dao Destiny is like a turbulent flow, a big river in the flood period, from here to there, and what this Daoist did is to directly incorporate Buddhist Destiny into this Human Dao Destiny, making the luck of Buddhism become a branch of Daoist Sect Destiny, and Daoism assists the human world, such as outlining and leading.

Just as the Yellow River flows into the sea in the east, its branches naturally do the same.

If the Tao Sect is like this, what other options can be made for the branches of the Tao Sect?

The longer time passes, the more people recognize the idea that Buddhism is a branch of Daoism.

In this way, Buddhism not only does not account for any of the luck of the human world, but in turn, the luck of Buddhism may be poured into the human world.

From now on, Guanyin Bodhisattva will be called Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Arhat Subduing the Dragon and Tiger-Subduing Arhat will be called Dragon Venerable by the people, Lord Fuhu.

These are like holes on a thousand-mile long embankment. People call the strong men of Buddhism this way, generation after generation, and even for thousands or thousands of years in future generations. By that time, people may not know why they call these Bodhisattvas and Arhats of Buddhism this way.

But isn't this huge ritual that lasts for thousands or tens of thousands of years, in which countless people call the Bodhisattvas and Arhats of Buddhism by the titles given by Daoism?

Buddhist Destiny will be eroded and affected by Daoism.

And it's an impact that lasts forever.

It's like boiling a frog in water.

Not fierce, not fierce.

Never stop!

The longer time goes by, the more likely it is that Buddhism will merge with the enter the Daoist Sect.

This, this is going to break the roots of Buddhist Destiny!

"You!!! Demonic way, evil way!!!"

"Such a vicious strategy!"

"Monster, demon!"

The monk struggled violently. He was caught on purpose just to take advantage of the situation and get to the palace. At this moment, Buddha heart shook and stood up suddenly. His arms shook and the ropes that bound him broke. Then he shouted angrily, "Your evil way and your evil words deceive the people. You want to destroy my boundless Dharma. Today, this poor monk has tried his best to make you pay the price!"

Immediately the boundless Buddha light appeared, the Vajra Dharma appeared behind his back, and he clasped his hands together and smashed it towards Qi WuHuo.

Li Zhai has drawn his sword.

But the Daoist looked calm, raised his hand, his white and slender fingers penetrated the layers of Buddha light, and pressed on the monk's shoulder. The next moment, the Buddha light collapsed, as if someone The general trend of the time was changing here. The Daoist just used two fingers to suppress monk. Then with boundless force, monk bowed down to the world with his hands clasped together.

Boom!!!

His knees were embedded deeply into the ground and he couldn't struggle out.

The Daoist raised his finger and said, "I have already given in three times."

"Daoism dilutes modesty and does not want to cause more evil."

"But we can't take another half step back."

The monk coughed up blood and said, "You, you, your behavior like this will inevitably incur the wrath of all the Buddhas and cause boundless calamities. You will fall into Hell of eternal suffering and suffer many punishments from Eighteen levels of hell before you can atone for your sins! Atonement!"

"Although we die, we can be reincarnated!"

"In the land of Buddhas, you will find supreme compassion, great freedom, and great liberation!"

"Eighteen levels of hell?"

The Daoist shook his head.

The monk didn't know why, but he seemed to have glimpsed a ray of divine will from the Daoist in front of him. In that divine will, there was hell and purgatory, boundless darkness, many ghosts holding weapons and swords, shouting and chanting. There was a man wearing black robes, occupying an honorable position in the underworld, and looking at his face, it was the Daoist in front of him.

?!!!

Monk's expression froze little by little, staring intently at the gentle Daoist priest in the sunshine.

There was a huge wave in my heart.

The Lord of the Netherworld?!

His angry and curse-like words just now froze as if his bones had been drained in an instant. As a primitive Buddhist fanatic believer with "reincarnation" as the core doctrine, he suddenly discovered that the enemy he had to face was the Nether Lord of the Underworld who manages reincarnation.

For a moment, his brain was stagnant, and he seemed to finally begin to realize that he seemed to be involved in some terrible things, including the Buddhas, the human world, the underworld, and the Daoism. He sat there quietly and slumped, looking at the Daoist in front of him in disbelief, and the Daoist said, "Do you have anything else to say?"

"Then, King Wei Wu, thank you."

The Daoist turned around and walked away.

At this moment, Li Hui is dead, and King Wei Wu Li Zhai is raising the wrath of the world. He does not kill the monks, but changes their clothes. A large number of monk either return to secular life or become [Virtuous Scholar]. The original statues of the Buddhas are all like old monk, wearing ordinary simple clothes, or bald, or in the way of [polished meat bun].

It's because the bones and flesh are bulging, and it's shaped like a bun, but it's actually not hair at all.

<Great Prajna Sutra> said, the top of the World-Honored One's head is made of thick sand, showing a high circle, just like the canopy of the sky. This is Thirty-two Marks of a Buddha.

King Wei Wu After the order was issued, all the craftsmen were mobilized all over the world. At this moment, an old craftsman smashed his mouth and looked at the huge Buddha statue in front of him and was worried. Can he not be worried? The emperor moved his mouth and broke his legs, saying that he wanted all Bodhisattvas and Buddha statues to have hair.

But this can't be done in a short time!

It can't be finished, it can't be finished at all!

The apprentice next to him also looked at his master with a sad face. "Master, the official order requires us to replace all the Buddhist statues within three months, but it takes several months to carve each statue. The two of us are responsible for more than a dozen Buddha statues, so there is no way we can do it."

The old craftsman rolled his eyes, banged the tool on his apprentice's head, and said angrily:

"There's nothing you can do?!"

"Hey, look what you said, if we can't do this, the two of us won't have to do it anymore!"

The apprentice seemed not to have heard the strange words in his master's mouth, and said happily:

"In other words, you won't have to do the job of masonry anymore?!"

"Shit, your head will be moved from now on!"

The old craftsman cursed loudly, kicked his lazy apprentice on the buttocks, and said, "If we can finish the heads of these Bodhisattvas and Buddhas today, you and I will not have to hang our heads around our necks!"

He was so angry that he kicked his apprentices to the ground. The apprentice was holding his buttocks, thinking about his wife who had just passed away under the covers. He really didn't want to spend three months carving in front of a stone with a skinny master like him. The old Wangtou next door still had bright eyes.

How can we steal some effort?

He looked at the appointment letter in his hand in a daze, and the requirement in it was "Grow your hair and crown".

Leave your hair...

His eyes dropped and fell on what Buddhism calls the last and most noble appearance of Thirty-two Marks of a Buddha [polished flesh bun]. The young Human Heart was thinking quickly, and suddenly an idea came to his mind. He sat up and looked at the Buddha statue, his eyes getting brighter and brighter. He suddenly poked his master with his hand and said, "Master, I thought of a method!"

"Huh? What can I do?!"

The young apprentice pointed at [the polished bun] and said, "Master, do you think this knot looks like hair?"

The old craftsman knew something about Buddhist statues, so he cursed, "This thing is a lump of flesh, not hair..."

His voice suddenly paused, and the young apprentice also paused. They looked at the bun and fell silent.

Then they all murmured in unison, "It's so similar..."

"If there were more hair lines carved on it, it would look more like it."

The two masters and disciples looked at each other, and immediately a consensus emerged in their hearts.

Otherwise...

Be lazy?

It seems that the time given by this order is too short, and the workload is too much and too heavy, but the working people actually have a certain common sense of laziness and wisdom, but they don't know that their own little laziness has opened a gap in the style of Buddhist statues at this moment.

Before that, the Buddha [polished his bun], which was a bun with no hair lines.

After this, there are hair lines on the buns of the Buddha statues, like hair strands.

Among all the Bodhisattvas, Guanyin Bodhisattva is known as the Great Master, Manjushri Bodhisattva, Puxian Bodhisattva, and Maitreya Bodhisattva, all of which are preserved in later generations in the posture of storing Dharma and wearing a crown. Only Maitreya Bodhisattva became a Buddha in later generations, avoiding the influence of the bun. His Bodhisattva posture has a hair crown, and the Buddha posture has become a rare bald Buddha.

And Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is always asleep.

He had never participated in anything, and some Daoist people spoke up to excuse him.

Therefore, Ksitigarbha King is the only one among the great Bodhisattvas who maintains the posture of monk without growing hair.

Mortal World has undergone great changes, surging like a long river.

The world of Kyushu is too vast. Such an order spread all over the world and was completely implemented. Even with the military order of King Wei Wu, it took more than a month. The trees in the world sprouted green buds, and the tender green buds stretched and grew, turning into dark green. Hundreds of flowers bloomed, and then gradually withered.

It is already June in the world, and Old Green Ox feels that the weather is gradually getting hotter. The bell hanging outside Treasury Chamber is swaying in the wind, making waves of pleasant sounds.

The hooded little Dragon Maiden stuck out his little head and carefully observed the place, his face full of confidence.

Snitch visit log from little Dragon Maiden, Part 8--

I checked that Treasury Chamber recently, and there was an extra person in the room.

Originally there were two, but then the strangely handsome man left, and there were only four people in this place.

Humph, only four!

A young-looking young Daoist Treasury Keeper.

He is young and weak, always reading, but at first glance he doesn't exercise very much and looks like he has no strength in his hands!

A little Young Daoist Attendant who likes to eat fruits.

Humph, I think I can abduct him with a date!

A burly servant who looks lazy, likes to chew soybeans, stares at the east in a daze, or covers his heart, looking as if he is scared to death. He might be sick, so he should take him to see a doctor next time.

There was also a middle-aged Daoist priest with a frail look, who just swept the house and lit lamps every day.

Hum hum, all old, weak, sick and disabled are nothing special.

The advantage is mine, the advantage is mine!

Even if the four of them go together, I, Dragon Maiden Empress, will not be afraid at all!

Little Dragon Maiden nodded, feeling that it was time for him to go. However, at this moment, he suddenly saw the Daoist over there raising his head and looking over. There was a hint of sharpness in his eyebrows, which shocked little Dragon Maiden and made him stiffen.

Qi WuHuo's vision seemed to follow the changes in cause and effect, and glimpsed the changes in the far west.

Buddhas are complaining to one Buddha.

"That Supreme Xuanwei is too much. When we have the Buddha, he kills the Buddha; when we have the monks, he excludes the monks; we build Lantuo Temple, but he looks for someone to get rid of Lantuo Temple; we want to seek justice from him, but we are intercepted at the border by a Young Daoist Attendant."

"I wanted to help Human Emperor recover, but Human Emperor committed suicide."

"Now I am retreating again and again. I cannot enter, nor can the Bodhisattvas enter. Let the ordinary monk enter the human world to teach the Dharma."

"He wants to ruin my image and change my title!"

"Let monks enter the Daoist Sect cut off my destiny and cut off my dharma lineage. What is happening now is unbearable. What should I do?! What should I do!"

[Tathagata of Immeasurable Life, Wisdom, and Light] Sitting on the lotus platform, surrounded by Buddhas, he closed his eyes and said nothing.

These countless voices of complaint flew out of Thirty-three Heavens, into South Pole Longevity Heaven, and into the ears of Great Emperor Changsheng of the South Pole, following silk threads that were invisible to the naked eye and hard to find even for large-scale products. This one of the best in the world raised his eyes slightly, praised a lot, and said, "... it is a bit cruel to directly transform Buddha into Tao and draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron."

"It seems to be a bit like Fuxi."

"It's just a pity that you cut off the future of Buddhism from the fate, so the struggle in the world turned into a battle between Buddhism and Daoism. From this point of view, your vision is too low and the pattern is too small. Moreover, with your small and broad approach, you use this method to eliminate the follow-up of Buddhism. So what if I ignore your wisdom and use my strength to push forward?"

In the eyes of Great Emperor Changsheng of the South Pole, this is what Supreme Xuanwei is doing step by step. Human Dao Destiny is improving day by day, faintly flourishing, and promoting the great prosperity of humanity. However, Great Emperor Changsheng has not seen young Daoist for a long time, and is a little surprised. Why can he make Human Dao Destiny change like this?

Could it be said that he has awakened his ancient bloodline?

So much time has passed, and the Innate Human Race bloodline has reached this stage and should have been broken long ago.

Buddhism is a step of Great Emperor Changsheng of the South Pole, it is also the destiny occupied by his incarnation, and it is his qualifications.

It used to be possible to sit back and watch, but now it's no longer possible.

Great Emperor Changsheng of the South Pole controls the white silk threads.

[Tathagata of Immeasurable Life, Wisdom, and Light] Slowly opened his eyes, the voices of the Buddhas discussing suddenly stopped, and they looked at him.

[Tathagata of Immeasurable Life, Wisdom, and Light] said gently and sincerely:

"I know the suffering of all fellow practitioners. After all, this plan was mine. Now that it failed, it is the poor monk who should bear the responsibility." He slowly raised his eyes and looked towards the direction of the human world. A smile very similar to Great Emperor Changsheng of the South Pole appeared on the corner of his mouth and said gently:

"I'll be that Xuanwei for a while."

First, the Buddhist sect set up a trap and invited the Daoist sect to fight in the human world; then took a step back, and the Bodhisattvas Lantuo Temple took another step back, and the Buddhas wanted to come but were forced to retreat, the temples were destroyed, and the Buddha statues were destroyed; at this moment, Buddhism and Daoism all reached the final tense step, until this moment, the Daoist and the human world [transformed the Buddha into the Tao] completely exploded.

The influence of each incident is superimposed together, and eventually turns into a wave. The momentum is getting stronger and stronger, like a thread being pulled tighter and tighter. It finally forces Great Emperor Changsheng of the South Pole, who is hiding under Buddhism and wants to watch from the sidelines. With the help of Tribulation of Buddhism and Daoism's luck, this incarnation of Great Emperor Changsheng of the South Pole, who has also achieved the highest level of Buddhism, is moved.

You must stop moving.

If you don't move, your arrangements in the past will be destroyed by that junior.

He stood up and walked down the lotus platform.

Then he took steps towards the human world.

One step is a lotus, one step is a thunder.

The momentum is like thunder!

Pointed directly at the human guest!
