Chapter 559: Past events in the Pure Land

The light boat advanced through the waves, and neither the violent storm nor the huge waves could stop it. In a short time, it had traveled more than ten miles and was far away from the meeting range of Shen Yi, Wu Yin and others.

Shen Yi didn't care about this. He just sent a message through the Desire Realm and gave instructions. He looked at Fakong and chuckled and replied: "If the one locked under the Demon Suppressing Cave is the real Buddha, then this real Buddha is too big." If you pull it off, you will be punished by the Buddhist disciples."

Fakong's face trembled as he was about to continue speaking, and his mind fluctuated slightly.

Shen Yi could tell that this was anger.

His senses are completely different from ordinary people. When other people look at people, they look at their skin and their breath and vitality. When Shen Yi looks at people, he looks at their body structure and their mood and thoughts.

In the field of vision that Fakong had never seen, eyes opened one after another, spread up and down in all directions, tightly surrounding the boat, watching the great master like a guinea pig.

"It's just taking advantage of others' danger."

Fa Kong's face turned cold and he hummed, "If you don't want to know the truth, you can continue to interrupt the poor monk."

"I'm sorry, don't blame me, don't blame me," Shen Yi saw this and said repeatedly, "Master, please continue."

Each eye narrowed the distance a little bit more, and countless gazes were fixed on Fakong, never missing a change in his expression. Shen Yi was now becoming more and more interested in the so-called demons and Buddhas.

"It's interesting that you, the Dharma King of the Pure Land Sect, actually believe that man can conquer heaven." Shen Yi laughed.

"After spending countless manpower and material resources and the efforts of all Pure Land Sect disciples for decades, we finally found the remnants of the power of the true Buddha and found a way to repair it. But -"

Just wait, the time will come soon.

There is no real immortal Buddha in this world. Even the Buddha has been transformed into a Qi practitioner by Master Tripitaka through cultivation. Many Bodhisattvas and Arhats are also practitioners.

"The third time was the dispute between Taoism and Buddhism at the beginning of the Daxuan Dynasty. Buddhism did not suffer many casualties this time, but because it lost to Taoism, its power was continuously reduced in the next few hundred years, and Buddhist sects gradually disappeared. , by the time a few decades ago, there would only be four schools left.”

Relying on this method of preaching, Pure Land Sect developed rapidly that year, overpowering other Buddhist sects in one fell swoop.

If Buddhist disciples in this world are divided according to Mahayana and Hinayana teachings, they are basically practicing Hinayana Buddhism.

As for Mahayana Buddhism, it is of course meant to deceive believers.

Fakong was still saying that he felt uncomfortable and wanted to express all the thoughts and experiences that he had suppressed for many years.

"In these three great catastrophes, no eminent monk emerged from nowhere to turn the tide. Buddhism was defeated again and again. It was a total defeat."

Fakong continued: "This statement was actually just a minority statement at the time and was not accepted by most Buddhist disciples. After all, although we worship Buddha, our real purpose is to cultivate and become a Buddha. Compared with Despite the illusory great fortune, most people still believe that man can conquer nature."

However, it is also possible that Buddhists themselves are dissatisfied and blame all the reasons for their failure on the theory of the true Buddha.

"Venerable Kutian was devoured by the Demon Lord. If you want to regain his power, you need to break through the door of life and death and defeat the Demon Lord. This is undoubtedly impossible, so Senior Brother Fazhao came up with another way, then It is the power to restore the true Buddha."

That’s why... no tough guy came into being to save Buddhism?

Thinking about it this way, it seems quite right.

The Demon King swallowed the Lord Kutian, and the power that constantly gave birth to strong men was also swallowed up. That's why Buddhism, like the national football team, lost again and again, and was completely defeated.

Maybe some people regard saving all sentient beings as the Tao, but absolutely no one believes that saving all sentient beings can lead to the Tao. In the final analysis, cultivation still depends on oneself.

"Does this mean that the theory of true Buddha is empty talk?" Shen Yi was keenly aware that the story was about to reach its climax.

But Fakong sneered and said: "How can evil heretics like you understand the greatness of Senior Brother Fazhao?"

"On the contrary, this just shows that the theory of the true Buddha is true," Fa Kong said with enthusiasm. "The last person recognized as the true Buddha in the world was none other than Venerable Kutian. And Venerable Kutian's Entering death is not a secret among high-level Buddhists. The Venerable Master was devoured by the Demon Lord, and all his power was taken away by the Demon Lord."

The way of practice spread by the Pure Land Sect is to recite the name of the Buddha. Those who recite the true name of the Buddha will gain eternal life in reincarnation. As long as they recite a few more words of Amitabha in daily life, they can live forever in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss after death.

"After the Venerable Kutian, Buddhism suffered three great tribulations. The first time happened shortly after the Venerable passed away. At that time, the seventy-two channels of the demonic path attacked Buddhism, causing the death of more than half of the Buddhist disciples. In the end, it was due to the true martial arts. You suppressed the demon king and was spared."

The Amitabha they want to worship is actually not an illusory Buddha, but the leader of the Pure Land Sect who claims to be the living Buddha, the reincarnation of the Buddha, and the sect of the previous generation.

Seeing Shen Yi being so frivolous, Fakong couldn't help but feel murderous intent again. However, he was really not sure that he could save Wu Lai now, so he could only endure the murderous intent and continue to endure it.

Then, under the leadership of the previous sect, the Pure Land Sect was transformed into a sect. Even the members of the sect had to devote their faith, and everyone shifted from practicing Buddhism to worshiping and begging for Buddhahood.

This status quo continued until a sect that could be described as a cancer appeared.

"Since Buddhism has been established in the Central Plains for thousands of years, it has gone through many ups and downs. At every moment of prosperity or failure, a powerful person has always emerged to turn the tide and help the building before it collapsed. Over time, some people believe that Buddhism I have a great destiny that can protect Buddhism."

This explanation is quite appropriate.

"The second time was when the Wu Dynasty destroyed Buddhism hundreds of years ago. Buddhism suffered another heavy blow, and it no longer had the appearance of competing with Taoism in the past."

The more Fakong talked, the more excited he became. Shen Yi didn't need to pry into his mood. Just from his facial expression, he could tell that Fakong was in a state of coexistence of anger and fanaticism.

"The theory of the true Buddha has been passed down as a joke for thousands of years. This theory completely negated the practice of many great sages of our ancestors and even the leader of Buddhism at that time, Kutian Venerable. However, after the death of Kutian Venerable, many people were shocked I found out that this statement may be true.”

Blood Buddha Fa Kong was born in such a sect and was the right-hand man of the leader. Now he is claiming that man can conquer heaven. This is really funny and ridiculous.

Fakong firmly grasped the handle of the sword, his whole body burning with red flames, "All of this was destroyed by those evil obstacles!"

About fifty years ago, the Pure Land Sect tried to unify Buddhism, save the common people, depose the rulers of the country, and establish an earthly Buddhist kingdom. Zen, Consciousness Only, and Tantric Buddhism were aware of the ambition of the Pure Land Sect, and preemptively joined forces to attack the Pure Land. The main altar of Buddhism destroyed the Pure Land Sect among the four major sects of Buddhism.

At this point, there are only three major sects left in Buddhism: Tantra, Zen, and Consciousness-only Buddhism.

Because of my birthday, I ate and drank today. After I came back, I lay down for a long time and finally struggled to get up to code.

The next chapter should be finished before midnight.
