Chapter 320: Imperial Master Wang Lianxin, Yang Tianyou presented a book
When the Great Sage King Bodhisattva was about to step into the Buddha's flame, Fahai suddenly asked: "If you succeed in refining your mind, where is the Bodhisattva?"
"Refining the heart, refining the heart." The Great Sage King Bodhisattva looked at Fahai and said with a smile: "What is left behind is naturally the original mind. As for the poor monk...the original mind is one and always present, so there is no difference between them."
"Everyone in the world knows that the Hinayana helps oneself." The Great Sage King Bodhisattva put his hands together and asked, "What does one mean by saving oneself?"
"First get rid of your mind." The Great Sage King Bodhisattva pointed to his heart and said: "If you cannot rectify your mind, even if you achieve the fruit of Bodhisattva, you will be like a poor monk... and the poor monk has been deeply entangled in the world of mortals.
It is not easy to distinguish between simply 'crossing people and crossing oneself' or 'crossing oneself and crossing others'."
"Amitabha." The Great Sage King Bodhisattva recited the Buddha's name again and said to Master Tripitaka: "Besides, if the death of poor monks can be exchanged for the reunion of Yang Tianyou and his family, isn't that what we monks want?"
"If you leave the world, you will be useless in the world; if you become a monk, you will have no worries. A monk may be able to become a monk and join the world, so that he can do something truly useful." The hands of the Great Sage King Bodhisattva were clasped in front of his chest again, "The poor monk is not a mere monk.
Pure monks only leave the shallow insights gained from thousands of years of practice for the saintly monks to criticize."
The Great Sage King Bodhisattva stepped into the flames of the Great Sun Buddha.
As expected, the Great Sun Buddha Flame, which can burn all sins, has no significant effect on the Great Sage King Bodhisattva.
The Great Sage King Bodhisattva sat quietly in it, causing the Great Sun Buddha's flame to go straight into the bottom of his soul, intersecting with the Buddha's light buried deep there——
Bah——!
With a soft sound, a blue smoke bird can be seen.
It is obvious that the two expressions are constantly changing on the face of the Great Sage King Bodhisattva, but they are very harmonious.
And Fahai can feel that, as they said before, whether it is the Great Sage, the King of Masters, Bodhisattva or Yang Tianyou, they are one and the same, and they should not be distinguished from each other.
The reason why such a scene occurs now is that the Buddha's shackle in his soul has forcibly separated "Yang Tianyou", and has gradually assimilated it by realizing the Buddha nature of Bodhisattva.
At this moment, Fahai could also see clearly. From what he could see so far, between the Great Sage King Bodhisattva and Yang Tianyou, the one who made the decision was the former, not "Yang Tianyou".
The other party was just using fire to temper their hearts, and Fahai had no intention of intervening in this process. He just waited quietly for the result.
Even from a Buddhist point of view, it is difficult to draw a conclusion about the choice made by the Great Sage King Bodhisattva to fulfill "Yang Tianyou".
But...what does this have to do with other people?
The Great Sun Buddha Flame is truly miraculous. It was Yang Tianyou's heart that was clearly being refined, but what was ignited was the Buddha's light deep in his soul. This Buddha's light was actually ignited and was gradually drawn out of his soul.
But... can the Buddha's light that can be ignited by the Great Sun Buddha's flame still be called the Buddha's light?
A true Buddha will never imprison people's hearts.
Although this leader of the Western religion is also called Buddha, what he does...is not Buddhist at all.
Heaven.
On the bank of the Tianhe River.
The Jade Emperor is holding a rope in his hand, and at the other end of the rope is a water monkey.
"Little God, see you, Your Majesty." The Jiao Demon King, who was training his troops, saw that the Jade Emperor was coming. Naturally, he did not dare to neglect and came to pick him up immediately... He also caught a glimpse of the water ape in the Jade Emperor's hand and recognized him at a glance.
origin.
Isn't this the Huaishui demon monkey Wu Zhiqi? How come your Majesty brought him here?
"The seal of Dayu was loosened, and it was early summer, when the Huaihe River was rising, and this beast was making trouble in the lower realms... The Great Sage Bodhisattva, the Master King, had already subdued it, but had not yet eliminated its evil force.
Xing... And because the Bodhisattva had to go out for business, I happened to pass by while walking in the three realms, so I took him up to heaven." The Jade Emperor smiled and said: "I have thought about it... Only this Tianhe River in the heaven can accommodate him."
When the Demon King saw Wu Zhiqi grinning at him, he cupped his hands and said, "I will train a general in the water for the heaven."
"Hahahaha." The Jade Emperor laughed when he heard this, "In that case, I will give this water monkey to Aiqing."
Leaving the Water Monkey behind, the Jade Emperor rode on the clouds and left, but he did not go to the Lingxiao Palace, but went all the way to the Tushita Palace.
Laojun fried a pot of elixirs some time ago, and now he has added a new pot, which is now being simmered over a slow fire.
The Jade Emperor sniffed the fragrance of elixirs, smiled at Laojun and said: "Laojun's alchemy skills are getting better and better. I just smell some elixirs and I feel refreshed."
Lao Jun stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you must not come to Lao Dao's alchemy room just to compliment you?"
The Jade Emperor did not hide anything, and said: "I came here to ask for an elixir of good fortune."
The old man didn't ask much about the reason, and took out an elixir at random: "This elixir is refined with the soul, and can resurrect flesh and blood out of thin air, but... after all, it is not as good as her original divine body."
Obviously, this old man who sat high in the Tushita Palace knew all about the uses of the Jade Emperor's elixirs.
"That's enough." The Jade Emperor was already very grateful.
Although the Jade Emperor also knows some magical powers of creation, there is still a big gap compared to the old man in front of him who can integrate all magical powers into his alchemy.
In fact, among the three realms, if we talk about the way of creation, Nuwa has to reach the top, and even Laojun has to be willing to be inferior.
But since becoming a god, Nuwa Empress has left the Three Realms, opened up the Emperor Wa Heaven in the chaos, and cannot escape. A self-proclaimed saint in the chaos can no longer interfere with the affairs of the Three Realms.
Although Empress Nuwa also left an incarnation in the Three Realms, just like the old man in front of her...
Laojun only inherited the alchemy way of Taiqing Saint...but the incarnation of Nuwa Empress did not possess the way of creation...Of course, this cannot be said that the incarnation of Nuwa Empress is not proficient in the way of creation, it's just that
It is difficult to reach the level of Nuwa Empress.
In addition, the Jade Emperor owes Laojun more than one favor, so naturally there is no need to trouble Nuwa's incarnation in the Three Realms.
The Jade Emperor thanked Lao Jun and was about to go to the Realm of Desire when he was grabbed by Lao Jun and said, "She has only just awakened. How can she bear such a powerful elixir?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As he said that, Laojun took out another elixir from his arms and said, "This pill is the Nine Reincarnation Soul Pill originally created by the old Taoist. Take this one first.
..After you have nourished your soul, you can take the previous pill."
There was no need to worry about the debt. The Jade Emperor handed over the elixir very simply and bowed seriously, but said: "I can't say thank you for the great kindness..."
The old gentleman waved his hand and said: "No need, your majesty will go and save people by yourself, don't bother the old Taoist who is refining the elixir."
The Jade Emperor left in a hurry.
Laojun turned his head and saw that the Jade Emperor had disappeared. He stretched out his hand and waved the whisk, and the red mist in front of him dispersed, revealing the scene of the Little Western Heaven in the lower world——
The Buddha's flames burn brighter and brighter.
Although the Buddha's light was ignited, there seemed to be no sign of being burned, or it was consumed very slowly, almost undetectable.
The Great Saint King Bodhisattva was indeed not afraid of the Great Sun Buddha Flame, and even took the initiative to increase it with magic power. In fact, the Buddha Flame did not have any impact on him.
But Fa Hai is different. After all, he endured the pain of the Buddha's flame burning his heart.
It was also the strangeness of this Buddha's light that made Fahai a little concerned, so he probed out a ray of spiritual consciousness towards it and brushed——
The Buddha's light seemed to have sensed it. It followed the ray of Fahai's consciousness and escaped directly into his sea of consciousness. Together with the Buddha's shackles in the soul of the Great Sage, the Master King Bodhisattva, it was also transferred to the Fahai.
on the body.
"not good!"
The Great Sage King Bodhisattva, who was concentrating on refining the Buddha's shackles with Buddha's flames, suddenly saw that the Buddha's shackles had escaped and escaped into the soul of Master Tripitaka. He immediately screamed in surprise and was about to take action when he heard the voice from the other side.
Master Sanzang said: "The Bodhisattva concentrates on training his heart with the Buddha's flame, so he handed over the Buddha's shackles to the poor monk to deal with."
After saying that, Fahai closed his eyes and meditated.
The mind escapes within and enters the sea of consciousness.
Katcha——!
Rumble——!
Thunder can be seen everywhere in the sea of consciousness.
The Buddha's shackles were flashing in Fa Hai's consciousness, as if he was trying to avoid the thunder bombing first.
If the Buddha's shackles were personified, they would definitely have a shocked look on their faces, "This is definitely the manifestation of the sea of consciousness of a Buddhist monk?!"
call--
The thunder was mixed with howling wind.
Immediately afterwards, strange phenomena such as earth dragons turning over, volcanoes erupting, white ghosts howling, etc. appeared one by one in Fahai's sea of consciousness.
at last.
The projection of Fahai's soul appeared in the sea of consciousness, wearing a bright red cassock covering a white monk's robe, and a whisk in his hand. There was a red mark between his eyebrows. His expression was not as solemn as that of a senior monk, but rather seemed a bit coquettish.
Not like a serious monk.
But the Buddha's light on his body shines brightly, and he avoids all kinds of disasters in the sea of consciousness when he sees them.
After the incarnation of Uparatha Buddha left by Saint Chunti passed away, this Buddha shackles no longer had spirituality. The only trace of instinct left caused it to break away from the Great Sage King Bodhisattva and enter the "Tripitaka Master".
deep in the ocean of consciousness.
"Amitabha." Fa Hai looked at the Buddha's shackles, chanted the Buddha's name, stretched out his big hands, and wanted to grasp it, but when he took action... his Buddha nature suddenly disappeared, and instead a black mist enveloped him.
In his hands, this is the demonic nature that has always remained in his body.
The Great Sage King Bodhisattva is right, this Buddha's shackles are not afraid of the Buddha's light, but are afraid of karma.
What a coincidence.
Fa Hai seems to be a mage who goes to the West to obtain scriptures, but in fact he is a demon monk who can fall into the devil's path at will... The difference is that he has already been able to control both the Buddha and the devil in his body, and he can become a Buddha or a devil with just one thought.
between.
And the karma contained in his body is due to how many evil spirits have been refined by the Great Sun Buddha Flame... and Fahai's own karma is still deep.
The reason is that Fa Hai succumbed to the karma caused by killing demons. Not only the karma caused by killing, but also the karma of those demons, a large part of which was passed on to Fa Hai.
It's just that he always behaves like an ordinary monk in his daily life, and the power he displays is only the Dharma.
This does not mean that he will not use demonic methods.
Fahai, who had once entered a demon and finally escaped from it, understood the meaning of "the thought of the demon and the Buddha" even more clearly.
Buddha and demon are essentially one, and the difference is only in the mind.
Pfft——
The Buddha's shackles are trapped and corroded by demonic karma.
Gradually the true nature was revealed.
It's still a dead branch, but this dead branch... is longer and thicker than the dead branch in Master Jinchan's soul.
Looking at the dead branches in front of him, Fahai fell into deep thought. He couldn't figure out for a moment why Saint Zhunti, who was obviously the Buddha, did so many things that were contrary to "Buddha".
Fa Hai held the dead branch in his hand and felt it carefully, but he couldn't detect anything.
No wonder it can lock the heart of the Great Sage King Bodhisattva. I am afraid that if the saint had not withdrawn from the three realms and Upaladha Buddha passed away, there would have been no Yang Tianyou in the three realms.
Fahai exited his own world of consciousness, and with a casual move, the dead branch appeared in his hand. It was about the length of his forearm and the thickness of his thumb. Apart from the hard material, it had no other magical features.
Fa Hai has finished his work here, and the Great Sage King Bodhisattva on the other side has naturally finished his work.
Without the Buddha's shackles made of dead branches, the matter of refining one's mind was naturally completed smoothly.
"Amitabha."
When Yang Tianyou opened his eyes, Fahai took the flames of the Great Sun Buddha into his body.
"Thank you, holy monk, for your help." Yang Tianyou on the opposite side thanked him in a secular manner, which showed that he had returned to his true nature.
"It's a small effort, but it doesn't matter." Fahai nodded slightly, accepted the gift, and then asked: "Bodhisattva, he..."
"Amitabha." Yang Tianyou clasped his hands together, "Bodhisattva and I are one and the same. Today I am Yang Tianyou again, but the Buddha's Dharma tools are here... I am Yang Tianyou, I am the Great Sage King Bodhisattva, I am me."
After finishing speaking, Yang Tianyou paused and said with a smile: "When I became a Bodhisattva, I did not enter Lingshan Mountain, see the Tathagata, or worship the Buddha. Now that I have left the Buddha and entered the world to travel through the mortal world, I am not under the jurisdiction of Buddhism, but I am quite free."
The status of the Great Sage King of Master Bodhisattva was achieved by oneself and was not conferred by Lingshan. The Great Sage Zen Temple has never been under the jurisdiction of Lingshan.
Moreover, Yang Tianyou attained enlightenment as a layman and was not a monk... In this way, he was still a lay Bodhisattva...
We are originally lay people, so there seems to be no such thing as returning to the secular world.
Fahai handed the dead branch in his hand back to Yang Tianyou and said: "The Buddha's shackles in the donor's body were transformed from this dead branch."
Yang Tianyou had already seen this dead branch, and now he took it over and sighed: "This is the dead branch from Master's Seven Treasures Tree. Previously, Master only left a Buddha-nature shackle in my body.
But unexpectedly, it turned out to be this thing..."
Yang Tianyou held the dead branch and played with it for a while, then took out the ancient book from his waist and sent it to Fa Hai, "Yang didn't have much, so he only had this ancient book with him, so he gave it to the Master.
, I also ask Master not to refuse."
Fahai took it and took a look, his expression changed slightly: "This is..."The Legend of Gongyang"?!"
"Gongyang Zhuan", also known as "Chun Qiu Gongyang Zhuan", is one of the Confucian classics.
Yang Tianyou held the dead branch and said with a smile: "Master, Yang has now found his true heart, so he said goodbye. If there is a predestined relationship, we will still meet one day."
Yang Tianyou was still wearing monk's robes, but the only difference from when he came was that the ancient books on his waist were replaced with dead branches.
Looking at Yang Tianyou's leaving figure, and then looking at the ancient book "The Legend of Gongyang" in his hand, Fahai didn't know for a moment whether he was right or wrong in helping him refine his mind and understand himself.
Fahai didn't know much about Gongyang Zhuan, but he knew a little bit about it.
