Chapter 612: The Xuanwu Dharma Meeting
Ling Tian and the other two came out of seclusion, but it was not because they had to fish for another three days and dry the net. Instead, the Dharma Assembly carefully prepared by Xuanwu Sect was about to arrive. If there was no Dharma Assembly, the three of them originally planned to at least reach the level of Great Perfection in the late stage of foundation building, and only ended their hard practice before forming pills.
Xuanwu Sect attached great importance to this Dharma Assembly and regarded it as an opportunity for Xuanwu Sect to appear. After more than a month of preparation, representatives from various sects in the Eastern Region began to enter the Great Zhou Dynasty one after another.
The first ones to arrive were the sects of the surrounding borders. Baihua Sect was the first to arrive. The current strength of Baihua Sect may not be as strong as Xuanwu Sect, but the relationship between the two sides is good. In addition to the relationship between Xue Yuexin and Zhou Yi, both sides are also considered in-laws in a sense, so the head of Baihua Sect personally brought several disciples to Xuanwu Sect.
Miao Yuan, the head sect’s true sect, personally welcomed the monks of the Baihua Sect. Starting from the Baihua Sect, each sect arrived one after another. The sects with good relationships and stronger strength were all greeted by the head sect’s true sect. Those who were slightly worse, or those who were not the head sect’s true sect came, but several elders came to greet them.
However, there are several sects that Zhou Yi went out to welcome. The head sect was the powerful Nascent Soul power. The head sect Miao Yuan still had a lower cultivation level when facing the powerful Nascent Soul power. If there was no Zhou Yi, the real person of the head sect would have bitten the bullet and went out to welcome him. Now that Zhou Yi, a major cultivation that can be equal to the opponent's Nascent Soul cultivator, this task naturally fell on him.
The first sect that Zhou Yi welcomed was Qianfo Temple. Qianfo Temple was already very familiar with it. The old monk took Shi Xin and a few Buddhist disciples and saw a few people, Zhou Yi immediately greeted them, "Welcome to all the fellow Taoists of Qianfo Temple!"
"Amitabha, fellow Taoist, I'm kind to you. After a few years of separation last time, I didn't expect that the donor had already reached this point!"
Now that Zhou Yi's strength is so strong that the old monk has completely regarded him as a cultivator of the same level, he is naturally very polite. Hearing this, Zhou Yi smiled and said, "You are polite! Fellow Daoist Shi Xin, I haven't seen you for a few years, so why don't you be fine!"
"Although I haven't seen you for several years, I often hear rumors about donors. I didn't expect that donors have so much more than me!"
"Hehe, some adventures are not really good!"
After chatting for a few words, Zhou Yi said, "Fellow Taoists, please come in and ask me!"
Zhou Yi and the monks from Qianfo Temple stepped into the Xuanwumen Cave Heaven.
I have a very good understanding of the Buddhist Zhouyi after two years of travel to the Western Regions. Qianfo Temple is actually somewhat different from the Buddhist sects of the Western Regions.
When Buddhism was founded, there were many believers. The Buddha had different methods of preaching different people based on his personality, and his disciples had different understandings and expressions. After the saints did not come out, Buddhism gradually became divided into different sects.
The eight Buddhist sects in the Western Regions belong to the current mainstream Buddhist sect, Mahayana Buddhism. Mahayana Buddhism claims to be able to carry countless sentient beings from this shore of the river of life and death to reach the other shore of Bodhi Nirvana and achieve Buddhahood. The main sutras include the Prajna Sutra, the Vimalakirti Sutra, the Mahayana Sutra, the Lotus Sutra, the Avatamsaka Sutra, the Amitabha Sutra, and the Amitabha Sutra.
The doctrine of Thousand Buddha Temple is closer to Hinayana Buddhism. The main difference between Mahayana and Hinayana is that Mahayana believes that there are countless Buddhas in the three ages and ten directions, and Hinayana regards the Buddha master as the leader. Mahayana emphasizes that not only one should be liberated from oneself, but also all living beings and all sentient beings become Buddhas, so that they can become Buddhas by themselves; Hinayana advocates that as long as they eliminate all their troubles and transcend life and death, they can become "Arhats". Mahayana advocates the Bodhisattva practice with the content of "Six Paramitas", while Hinayana focuses on the cultivation of the "thirty-seven Paths".
Zhou Yi knew very well that Qianfo Temple came here for him, but in fact, it was for him. Unexpectedly, when Qianfo Temple came, he asked about the place of practice openly or secretly. Zhou Yi naturally looked around and never answered their inquiries directly.
The place of practice, Zhou Yi can't make promises blindly now. In fact, if it is to make money, Zhou Yi promises a few, which is not a problem at all. His strength is already very high in the world of cultivation. Even if he promises a few, the Taoist sect will not say anything. However, Zhou Yi does not have such an urgent plan to make money now, and Xuanwu Gate and Qianfo Temple are still competitive, so Zhou Yi will naturally not take risks again.
Not only Qianfo Temple, but most of the sects that come here are probably to get to know Zhou Yi. Even if they can’t get a place for cultivation and have a good relationship with Zhou Yi, they may have a chance in the future! Many sects will go to Qisha Peak to visit Zhou Yi. At the beginning, Zhou Yi was polite, but these sects were endless, and Zhou Yi’s threshold was almost kicked.
There was no choice but to hide outside to greet representatives of various sects, but they were also harassed. When those sects saw that they were greeted by Zhou Yi, they were all stubbornly lingering Zhou Yi. They were guests, so Zhou Yi could not treat each other coldly, and could only endure those guys.
Fortunately, in just a few days, the sects that received the invitation almost arrived, and there was only one last sect left, which was the Confucian sect, the overlord of the Eastern Region. Xuanwu Gate and Confucianism were relatives. When the head teacher Miaoyuan personally sent the invitation to the head of Jixia Xuegong Mountain. Jixia Xuegong Mountain immediately made a decision and said that he would definitely send someone to participate.
An elder of the Nascent Soul-level in Jixia Academy came late with a few Confucian disciples. As the overlord of the Eastern Region, this is the controversy of other Confucianism. No sect dares to say anything. In the Xuanwu Sect, the heads of Miaoyuan, Zhou Yi, and all the elders were dispatched to welcome the great Confucian scholars in the Xuanwu Cave Heaven.
Not only Xuanwu Gate, but also all the heads and representatives of various sects who arrived two days ago came out to welcome Confucianism. There is no way to live under other people's hands. You're welcome to be a little more aware!
Seeing the great Confucian scholar who was driving on a talisman boat, Miaoyuan Zhouyi immediately welcomed the joy, Miaoyuan said, "Thank you all for your hard work!"
"Fellow Daoist, you are kind!"
Seeing the visitor, Zhou Yi quickly smiled and said, "Elder, I didn't expect that you were here in person!" Zhou Yi also knew that he was an elder of Jixia Academy, and the ancestor of the Xue family came too. This is enough to see that Jixia Academy still gave Xuanwu Sect a face!
"Family, you still have to give your face," said the ancestor of the Xue family with a smile, and then said, "By the way, how is Xue Yuexin doing recently? Why haven't you come back with you?"
"Elder, Xin'er has reached the realm of Great Perfection in the late stage of foundation building and is about to face the problem of forming pills. I let him stay in Taiqing Shangsect and continue to consolidate his realm!"
