Chapter 237: Immortality, the demons that run through the three worlds(1/2)
"The Great Sun Tathagata Sutra?" Li Shimin had a confused look on his face.
Although in this world, there is also a legend about Sun Wukong, the king of demon kings, causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago, few people know the details of when Sun Wukong caused havoc in Heaven. No one knows what happened to Sun Wukong afterwards. The outside world only knows
I know that Sun Wukong is not dead and cannot come out for some reason.
The human world, and even many gods, do not know the battle between Sun Wukong and Tathagata.
Naturally, I don’t know what the “Great Sun Tathagata True Sutra” is.
"Let me tell you this, in our three realms of heaven, earth and man, including the Thirty-three Heavens and the Four Continents, as well as the entire universe, there are only two truly powerful immortal systems. One is the Heavenly Court headed by the Jade Emperor and Laojun.
, and the other is the Great Leiyin Temple headed by Tathagata Buddha." Li He thought for a moment and said: "
Five hundred years ago, Sun Wukong, the king of demon kings, wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace. The Bull Demon King took the opportunity to attack the sky, which once put the Heavenly Palace in danger of destruction. Later, the Bull Demon King and Sun Wukong turned against each other. The former was suppressed by Sun Wukong, while the latter, after wreaking havoc in the Heavenly Palace,
, met Tathagata Buddha, the master of the Great Thunder Sound Temple in the West, who came to help."
These things, involving gods, made Li Shimin very interested, and he forgot about the locust demon for a while.
"Then what?" he asked.
"Then the two made a bet. If Sun Wukong could fly out of the palm of Tathagata Buddha, even if Sun Wukong won, Buddha would support him to become the Jade Emperor. But conversely, if Sun Wukong couldn't fly out, he would lose." Li He
Said: "As we all know, Sun Wukong is best at speed. Even the gods can't catch up with him if he can move a thousand miles, so he agreed."
Hearing this, Li Shimin said: "The result was calculated?"
As an emperor, he is still good at scheming. The first thing he thought about Sun Wukong and Tathagata's bet was conspiracy.
"It is true, but it is not true." Li He said: "The Tathagata did plot against him, but not through conspiracy. Instead, he used the "Great Sun Tathagata Sutra" to display the 'Buddha Kingdom in the Palm', turning his palms into stars and universes.
It was so big that Sun Wukong couldn't fly out at all. After Sun Wukong lost the bet, he turned his palm into the 'Five Elements Mountain' with his backhand, knocked Sun Wukong from the sky to the ground, and crushed him under the Five Elements Mountain!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin's expression immediately changed.
"In other words, Tathagata's cultivation level is much higher than that of Sun Wukong, almost incomparable?" he said.
"Absolutely." Li He nodded and said: "Among all the powerful people in heaven, earth, immortals, demons, gods, Buddhas, and saints, there are three who are the most transcendent. One of them is the Jade Emperor, the Lord of the Three Realms. He holds the Book of Heaven in his hand, and even the Buddha has to listen to it.
He gave orders. The second one was Buddha, whose cultivation reached the heavens.
, I am afraid that even the Jade Emperor will be a little afraid of him. The third one is Laojun, and Daozu is the most special one among the three of them. He should be the strongest, but it still needs to be verified whether he is still in the Three Realms, because it has been five hundred years.
During the previous catastrophe in heaven, he did not appear."
"Maybe Dao Ancestor is not in heaven?" Li Shimin's expression changed again.
"There is a 90% chance that he is not here. He may return in the near future, but it is also very possible that he will completely leave this world and never come back." Li He said.
There are always some people, even if they are born in the heavens, they can travel through all realms.
For example, the Emperor Zhuxian, the Immortal Sword Fuxi, and Zhuangzi in the Romance world are all incredibly strong men who have transcended the world level.
The Tao Ancestor in this world is similar. Li He did not sense his traces in the incense offering, and he did not appear among the members of this fused world. In addition, the Tang Dynasty itself did not get a response from the Tao Ancestor, so Li He almost had
It is 90% certain that he is not in heaven.
Of course, it is also possible that the old man is wandering in the mortal world or somewhere in the universe and deliberately does not contact his disciples.
Generally speaking, whatever those characters want to do is very casual and no one can care about it.
"So, currently the only two top immortals in the three realms are the Jade Emperor and the Buddha?" Li Shimin frowned and pondered, "And Chen Xuanzang is the great disciple of Tathagata Buddha, a figure similar to the 'Prince' of Xitian Buddhism?
As for the 'Three Hundred Children's Songs' in his hand, is it actually the 'Great Sun Tathagata Sutra', the most powerful magical power of the Tathagata Mahavaja?"
Li He nodded and said, "Absolutely."
Although Buddhism does not want a prince and has no heir, Jin Chanzi's status is definitely not low.
Don’t talk about anything else, just talk about this world.
Tathagata Buddha placed his golden body in the Spirit Mountain, and his Dharma body was stored in the universe and heaven, but only his true body came to Chen Xuanzang and became his master again. How much preference is this?
"But why did he let the locust demon go?" Li Shimin said.
Li He was silent when he heard this and did not speak.
Why let the locust demon go?
Isn’t it because Li Jiancheng performed meritorious deeds during his lifetime, and after his death, he turned into a demon and regained consciousness and stopped doing evil?
Whether it is Tao or Buddha, what they pursue is not to kill with one sword. As long as the "devil nature" is eliminated and the good nature can be left, who is willing to kill innocent people indiscriminately?
As for Li Shimin's thoughts, I'm sorry, I want to kill myself, but gods are not the sword in your hand!
"I guess it's because he feels pity for him!" Li He thought for a moment and finally said: "Buddhism pursues compassion and rarely kills demons even if they are demons. I thought the locust demon was discovered by them, and Lou Zi was also discovered by them.
Those who poked it open would be cleaned up before leaving the task of destroying the demon to them, but I didn’t expect that Buddhism is too compassionate and would not kill the locust demon at all.”
These words are just a matter of words, but they are not nonsense.
He did give the choice to Buddhism. After all, it was the locust demon they discovered in the capital.
As for whether to kill or not, Li He would not stop him if he did not kill him, and he would not save him if he killed him.
"However, Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Since Buddhism has let go of the locust demon, if he causes trouble again in the future, it will be the cause and effect of Buddhism. The Tathagata will deal with him properly." Li He added: "In addition, one has turned into a demon.
It is impossible for people to pose any threat to Your Majesty anymore. Instead of getting angry, Your Majesty might as well think about how to do something about this matter and turn the disadvantages into benefits."
Hearing this, Li Shimin remained silent and did not speak again.
…
The incident with the locust demon passed quickly: Li Shimin was also a great man, and he actually took all the blame for letting the locust demon go. He claimed that he couldn't bear to kill his elder brother a second time, so he secretly ordered Li He to let him go.
.At the same time, he also said a lot of things, indicating that the struggle for imperial power was forced out of necessity. Now that the dust has settled, there will no longer be fratricide.
There were a lot of real and fake things, some not, which made Li He feel a little confused when he listened.
Ordinary people were also confused.
"He avoided the important and took the easy. On the surface, he was taking all of Li Jiancheng's sins on himself, but in fact, he was convicting Li Jiancheng. From now on, people all over the world will hate the Locust Demon and will no longer rebuke him for killing his brother." The Jade Emperor.
Holding a watermelon in his hands, he was eating, watching the excitement, and talking to Li He.
Hearing this, Li He didn't know how to deal with this problem.
He wanted to block the Jade Emperor's mouth with watermelon, but he didn't dare. This was a being that he could not defeat even with all his strength.
"But I'm afraid your life will be difficult in the future!" the Jade Emperor said again.
This time, Li Shimin issued a notice. In addition to clarifying the matter of the locust demon, he also clarified the identity of Chen Xuanzang, which clarified what Li He said was "the most powerful exorcist in the world" and "the most powerful exorcism method in the three realms." Not only
In this way, several Buddhist monks, including Chen Xuanzang, were also conferred the title of "Guardian of the Country", diverting Li He's power and luck.
It can be said that although Li Shimin didn't say anything about Li He letting go of the locust demon, he still felt a knot in his heart.
This is also an unsolvable problem.
People who practice Taoism do whatever they want, and naturally have many things, so they cannot completely obey the emperor.
The happy cooperation with Cao Cao and Qin Shihuang in the past was not the norm. The various unhappiness with Song Ningzong and Li Shimin were normal. It is precisely because of this that even if Taoism is a native Eastern thought, it is difficult for various emperors in the history of the main world to
I love it so much that the Taoist sect has never been prosperous.
Fortunately, those who practice Taoism don’t care about this either.
Some powerful people, even the Jade Emperor, would care about mortal emperors?
"There is nothing easy or hard to live with. Pindao and Prince Tang are just taking what they need. As long as they can still be used, it is impossible for him to fall out with Pindao." Li He smiled nonchalantly and said, "As for the future,
, I have become an immortal, why would I care so much?"
At this time, the human calamity has passed, and his cultivation is no longer that of a soul, but the third level of the four realms of Taoism, and the first level of the "celestial immortal" realm of the realm of "Refining God and Returning to the Void".
Tianxian has two meanings. One is the "Tianxian Dao", which refers to the entire stage of "refining the gods and returning to the void".
The other level is the "true immortal", the initial state of refining the gods and returning to the void.
Although in theory, those who have mastered magical powers in the realm of Yuanshen can rival or even defeat immortals, but the premise is that ordinary immortals, a person who can challenge beyond the level, will definitely be stronger after becoming an immortal. It is impossible to say that the realm
As it improves, its strength decreases.
Just like Li He, in the realm of Yuanshen, he has the power of a mysterious immortal and can challenge across two major realms.
After becoming an immortal, although you cannot continue to cross the two realms and fight against the Golden Immortal, you will definitely be much stronger than yourself before becoming an immortal.
How much stronger is it exactly?
If his magic power was like a river before becoming an immortal, now it is like a sea, almost inexhaustible. This is not an exaggeration. The magic power of an immortal is basically only divided into strong and weak ones, and there will be no more or less.
difference, so with normal use, it's almost impossible to run out.
If cultivators also have ranks and the soul is black iron, then the heavenly immortal is bronze, the mysterious immortal is silver, and the golden immortal is gold.
At each stage, the strength and weakness are clear at a glance.
However, the soul's black iron has a "quantity", no matter how many kilograms or tons, there is a number. After becoming an immortal, this quantity is gone. The difference in level is only in quality. The difference between "bronze" and "silver" is
The level and quantity are almost infinite for everyone.
The term "boundless power" was first used to describe "true immortals".
Of course, it is limited to "celestial immortals", earth immortals, demon immortals, etc., so the amount of mana may not be unlimited.
To be continued...
