Chapter 341: Persuading Senior Brother to Let Go? There is something wrong with the Bodhisattvas practice.
No matter what tacit deals and calculations there are among the saints during the Conferred Gods War, it is naturally impossible to take care of everything for the disciples, and some victims will inevitably appear.
Just like Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao, who dominated the Conferred Gods from the light and dark sides, neither of them ended well.
In the Tribulation of the Gods, Jiang Ziya, who was in charge of the God Beating Whip and the Gods List, did not even have the chance to become an immortal in the end. Although he was a very popular minister in the human dynasty, he had no chance of becoming an immortal. When his longevity was up, he could only
When one enters reincarnation, one does not know the day when one will escape from the catastrophe.
Shen Gongbao is not much better than Jiang Ziya. Although he is on the list of gods after his death, he is still different from other gods. However, he, the general who divides water, was used to fill the eyes of the North Sea. This is like going to the eighteenth level of hell.
There is no difference, both are consequences that can never be reversed.
As witnesses of the Conferred Gods War that year, although Sai Taisui and Bai Xiang only participated in the Battle of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, they also witnessed the most brutal battle.
If the disciples of the three religions were killed, they might still have a chance to be on the list of gods.
But the human soldiers who died in the meat grinder really died. Even some souls who did not have time to enter the underworld would be directly shattered by the aftermath of the immortal war.
When gods fight, mortals suffer.
Where is the mercy?
It was also after this battle that Taoist Cihang could not come out of seclusion. When he came out of the mountain again, he rebelled and went to Lingshan Mountain in the West. After attaining the True Dharma Ming Tathagata, he used the power of his great compassionate vows to inspire all Bodhisattvas to help all living beings.
Showing the form of Bodhisattva.
It's a pity that there are only a few responders in Lingshan.
Sai Taisui deeply sympathized with Qiu Shou's plight, but there were some things that he was not easy to persuade.
Although I have learned some Buddhist teachings from the Bodhisattva, how should I persuade myself at this time?
Advise senior brother to let it go?
How can I stand to advise him?
Even if he goes to persuade him, not to mention that the senior brother will not listen to him at all, even if he really listens to the karma accumulated in the eight hundred miles of Shituoling, what should he do?
Sai Taisui suddenly remembered the Bodhisattva's words. The Bodhisattva said that after Master Tripitaka liberated those demon kings, he would take the initiative to carry the karma they created on his body. It was really the eminent monk who did it. The karma of these hundreds of thousands of miles away, let alone
If an ordinary monk were to carry it, the true Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Lingshan would be afraid to avoid it.
It's not that Sai Taisui looked down upon them. If they had some responsibility in front of them, it would not be the senior brother who made the decision in Lingshan now; if they had some responsibility, they would not let the Western Saints ferry them to Xizhou.
Sai Taisui's words in his heart, the former refers to the original disciples of the Western Sect; the latter refers to the three thousand mortal guests of the Jie Sect who were transferred to the West.
Of course, he never denied that he was also a loser, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to return to his master's school after getting out of trouble.
Looking at it now, it seems that with the current appearance of the three brothers, they really have no future and deserve to be reduced to this.
"Amitabha." After thinking about it, Sai Taisui couldn't help but chant the Buddha's name.
Bai Xiang was stunned for a moment, then saw Sai Taisui changing his expression several times, and suddenly smiled and said: "It seems that junior brother has learned a lot of Buddhist teachings from the Bodhisattva."
"When the Bodhisattva preached, I listened along with him. Even though I had no intention, I still gained some insights." Sai Taisui pointed to his heart and said, "To the point where I don't even know whether I am a Taoist or a Buddha.
.Simply show people their true nature as a demon.”
"You are under the guidance of the Bodhisattva. Do you know whether the Bodhisattva is more of a Buddha or more of a Tao?"
"The Buddha's way is based on one mind." Sai Taisui said with a sigh on his face: "The realm of the Bodhisattva is lofty and lofty, and now it is even more unfathomable. And when I am around the Bodhisattva, in addition to feeling the Bodhisattva's compassion and kindness all the time,
Being at peace with the outside world can also make me calm, clear and indifferent."
"Without indifference, there is no clear ambition; without tranquility, there is no far-reaching goal; without generosity, there is no way to cover everything; without kindness, there is no way to embrace others; without being righteous, there is no way to control." Fahai sat on a square stone and was chatting with a few people.
Disciples chatted, "Quietness is used to cultivate one's character, and frugality is used to cultivate virtue. Without learning, you will not be able to expand your talents, without ambition, you will not be able to learn, you will not be able to cultivate your energy, and you will not be able to cultivate your nature if you are impetuous."
Although they are all some great principles, Fahai often teaches them through his own words, and the disciples naturally listen to them with great interest.
Several disciples have almost mindless respect for their master, which is said to be a good thing.
But Fahai felt that it was inappropriate. This was a very dangerous thing. If one day he said something unreasonable, would they listen?
If they do something unreasonable, will they question it?
From this, Fahai thought about himself. Because of his respect for the Buddha, would he think that what the Buddha said and did must be correct?
Therefore, Fahai today is actually exploring the Three Realms with a questioning mind and understanding the true meaning of Buddhism from a dialectical perspective.
Therefore, we came to the hypothesis that "Buddha is not Buddha".
The former "Buddha" is the many Buddhas and true Buddhas in Lingshan, and the latter "Buddha" is the Buddha worshiped by monks in the three realms. This Buddha is invisible and formless, but it is everywhere, among the flowers, grass and trees, and in the hearts of all living beings in the three realms.
.
Since leaving Pansiling, the steps of master and disciple have also slowed down a bit.
Along the way, I defeated several little demon kings and learned that ahead was the eight-hundred-mile Lion Camel Ridge. There were three great kings in the mountains, and their magical powers were definitely not inferior to those of the Bull Demon King.
The master and his disciples walked westward for several months. It was the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, and the fresh coolness penetrated the body.
The heavy rain has brought the remaining heat to an end, and the leaves of the sycamore tree are frightened.
Normally, when the weather is cooler, people's mood will naturally be much better, but now their master and disciples are frowning.
When encountering such a big mountain, even the little white dragon did not dare to go deep into it. He just explored the outside for a while and then stopped for the time being——
This mountain is called the Eight Hundred Miles of Lion Camel Ridge, and there is a Lion Camel Cave in the middle. There are three demons in the cave. This is the news that I heard from the Monster Mountain that I passed by before.
"Master, it's nothing if there are three demons. It's just a gathering of little demons in the mountains."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "How many little monsters are there?"
"There are five thousand on the south ridge, five thousand on the north ridge, ten thousand at the east intersection, and ten thousand at the west intersection; there are four to five thousand on patrol, and there are ten thousand on guard; there are countless people who light fires, and there are countless people who collect firewood.
It is calculated that there are 47,800 people who can fight." Xiao Bailong looked serious: "One or two hundred miles away from Shituoling, there is no human habitation, and there are bones everywhere."
After hearing this, the masters and disciples all turned their faces down and looked at the mountain peak ahead, speechless for a moment.
The mountain peak in front stands in the blue sky, like a star blocking the sun. Although we have encountered some eight-hundred-mile-long mountains before, nowhere is this one so powerful?
Like Huangfengling, it is a barren land; like Flame Mountain, it is a sea of fire, and it is a restricted area of life. The eight hundred miles of Qijue Ridge is even more sparse, and even the goblins are unwilling to stop; the last eight hundred The Thorn Ridge is not a good place either.
And the 800-mile Lion Camel Ridge in front of us is truly extraordinary.
As expected, three great demon kings emerged from just one mountain.
This is said, but it should not be ignored just because the mountains are high and the roads are dangerous. As the saying goes, high mountains have their own travel routes, and deep waters have their own ferrymen.
After the master and disciples discussed for a while, they finally came up with some plans.
The mountain is big, and it is such a monster mountain with 48,000 little monsters gathered together. It is inevitable that some differences must be distinguished. Even in a small mountain like Langlang Mountain, there are ignorant little monsters who have been oppressed and coerced. Monster, you can probably find similarities in this Lion and Camel Ridge.
This Shituoling Mountain is different from Jilei Mountain.
Jilei Mountain is just a big mountain, and it is a ferocious demon deliberately summoned by the Bull Demon King. Naturally, they are all people with sinful karma.
This Shituoling covers an area of 800 miles. Let alone 48,000, even a hundred thousand little demons are scattered into the mountains and forests. In fact, they are scattered here and there.
The great sage chanted a mantra to call out the land and mountain gods in the mountains.
"Holy Monk, Great Sage!" More than a dozen land and mountain gods quickly paid their respects.
"Hey!" The great sage saw this and immediately yelled angrily: "You are so bold, how dare you collude with the demon!"
More than a dozen land and mountain gods didn't know the reason, but when they saw the great sage getting angry and crying in their hearts, they could only kneel on the ground and beg for mercy: "The great sage is wronged, the great sage is wronged!"
"Hmph!" The Great Sage snorted coldly and said: "You are wronged? This lion and camel ridge is occupied by demons, but you have raised me to a white and fat body. At this moment, you are still neatly dressed and have no signs of being abused. Isn't it just like the demons? Collusion?"
It turned out that the Great Sage had seen the land and mountain gods of the Six Hundred Miles Mountain. They were oppressed by Red Boy. They were obviously gods registered in heaven, but they were not as good as demons. It was really embarrassing.
"Oh!" When the earth and mountain gods heard this, they were relieved. One of them couldn't help but said: "What the Great Sage said is different from the three demon kings in Shituoling. They all have origins and are calling us, we will wait. How dare you refuse? Talk about colluding with demons. We are not qualified yet."
"Oh?" Maybe the Great Sage couldn't tell the truth from what they said, but he couldn't deceive Fahai who was standing beside him. Fahai knew that the mountain god was not lying, so he asked: "Have the demons in this mountain ever driven you? "
"Never." All the earth and mountain gods shook their heads.
A farmer said: "In their eyes, we are like ants. Since they came to the mountains, we have been hiding everywhere, or they have seen that we are peaceful, so they have not made trouble for us."
Another mountain god came up and said, "Besides, we have nothing to gain from these little gods. We don't dare to provoke them, and they are out of sight and out of mind."
Fahai nodded, thinking what they said made sense.
As for their status as immortals, they sat back and watched the demons roaring in the mountains and forests without doing anything. Fahai thought this was normal. After all, it was too difficult for them, the gods of the land and mountains, to deal with those demons and monsters.
Not to mention dealing with the three demon kings, even the demon commanders and demon generals under the demon king are not something they can deal with.
Besides, it is not their duty to conquer demons.
"You just said that these three old demons have quite an origin, but you don't know where they are?" Fa Hai looked at the mountain god who spoke first.
"I don't know the details, but a demon king Sai Taisui from Qilin Mountain came to the cave a few days ago. We recognized him as the mount of Guanyin Bodhisattva and said he was an old friend of the great king and the second great king in the cave."
"What kind of monsters are these big kings and the second big king? Are they related to Sai Taisui?" The great sage had just fought with Sai Taisui once, and knew that Sai Taisui was not a harmful monster.
"The big king is a blue lion, and the second king is a white elephant. We won't be able to figure it out."
"Since you don't know anything about them, how do you know their origins?" Bajie asked, seizing on the other party's loophole.
"Because we have sent letters to heaven many times to inform the Buddhists that there is a big demon occupying the mountain in Shituoling and gathering demons, please send troops to surrender. However, the messages from both sides are like stones dropped into the sea, and there is no response." The mountain god smiled bitterly: "If it weren't for their origins, they are not small.
, what else could it be?”
After listening to this, the master and the disciples thought to themselves: Not only were the demons with great origins not only ignored by Heavenly Court and Buddhism, but also even if there were insignificant heel demons who took over the mountain and became kings, they did not do anything.
But naturally no one would say this to them.
Of course, Erlang Zhenjun has already explained this matter. In the files he has read, 70% of the cases come from Xizhou.
But Xizhou is a Buddhist realm that is relatively independent and self-governing. The Heavenly Court has never interfered with the affairs here, but it asked the East and Nanzhou whether any demons dared to show their banners and occupy the mountain as kings?
Well
Five hundred years ago, there was a man in Huaguo Mountain in Dongsheng Shenzhou. The banner called Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, is still erected today, but who still thinks he is a demon king now?
It's just that the past was before and the present is now.
In the past, the Heavenly Court turned a blind eye to the demons in Xizhou, but Yang Jian would not. In his opinion, even if the demons who committed evil were protected by Buddhism, he would still come to punish them.
Not long ago, he went to Mount Sumeru and captured a gold-swallowing rat from Lingji Bodhisattva. The scene at that time was quite harmonious and did not cause any major conflicts.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, Yang Jian and Lingji Bodhisattva had a discussion on magical powers, and both sides reached the point. The gold-swallowing rat was also captured by the six-eared macaque while they were competing.
Master Yuding, who had left the Yang Mansion at this moment, was drinking tea and discussing Taoism with Lingji Bodhisattva in Xiaoxumi Mountain. He said that he came to "apologise" to Lingji Bodhisattva for his incompetent disciple.
Although Master Yuding was sincere, and he and Bodhisattva Lingji were old acquaintances, Bodhisattva Lingji had already made up his mind to declare retreat after Master Yuding left.
When Master Yuding came out of Xiaoxumi Mountain, he sighed softly and said in his heart: "Lingji Bodhisattva's Buddhist chanting went wrong a few years ago."
It was also during the gathering at Yang's Mansion that day that Yang Jian brought up the matter, saying that when he forcibly captured the gold-swallowing rat from Mount Sumeru, he noticed that something was not right with Lingji Bodhisattva, so he invited Master Yuding to come and take a look.
look
At this moment, outside the mountain, Master Yuding counted with his fingers for a while, and it suddenly became clear. It turned out to be the root of the disease left in Huangfengling. Tang Sanzang had previously saved the Yellow Wind Monster in Huangfengling in front of his face, and this time he was attacked by his own disciple.
When his son came to pick up the gold-eating rat, his already unsatisfactory state of mind immediately began to crack.
He was originally a consecrated Bodhisattva. Compared with several Buddhist masters who had achieved the status of great Bodhisattva, he was naturally far behind.
It is said that the Buddha and the devil can change in one thought, but Master Yuding does not think that Lingji Bodhisattva will become a devil because of his timidity and indecisive temperament. Even if he becomes a devil, it is not a big deal.
The demons gathered in Shituoling, and Yang Jian naturally didn't want to miss this big show. He was with the six-eared macaques at the moment. As long as Master Tripitaka needed it, he would immediately order troops to besiege Shituoling.
Yang Jian doesn't have to take action against the three great demon kings.
But the 48,000 demon soldiers in the mountain must not be allowed to wander in the human world.
On this point, Fahai and Yang Jian have the same point of view. If the little demon disperses into the human world, it is better not to get rid of it.
