Chapter 491: The opening ceremony; the mighty Tianlong!
Although the Great Sage and Little White Dragon were distracted while Master was delivering his speech, they did not delay their business.
When the plaque of the Consciousness-Wei Sect was officially revealed in the world, the sound of Sanskrit seemed to be heard in the chaos high above the nine heavens. The melodious silence was like a clear spring flowing, washing the soul.
Accompanied by the profound Buddha's sound, the warm and peaceful Buddha's light fell on the world, calming the hearts of all living beings in Chang'an City in an instant.
The Buddhist charm coming from Master Tripitaka seems to contain infinite power and comes from the firm belief deep in the heart.
"Infinite Prajna, the mind is at ease, and the movement and stillness of the body are natural in silence."
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva admired this and said to the Great Sun Tathagata beside him: "The method of Tripitaka has been completed."
A layman watches the fun, an expert watches the door.
In the eyes of the vast majority of people in the three realms, Buddhism is undoubtedly a sect that transcends the world...and in fact it is also true. There are indeed very few monks in the three realms who can walk in the mortal world.
Even though those Buddhist temples are all built in busy cities, aren’t all their words just talking about escaping from the world?
But...they haven't eaten any less of the benefits of this world, and I'm afraid they haven't done anything about it.
The real core of the consciousness-only teaching established by Tripitaka today is "entering into the world", which is a method of self-improvement.
From the fact that Tripitaka himself has always adhered to the attitude of "don't ask for help from others, but strive for self-improvement", it is actually enough to predict what kind of changes the Consciousness-Wei Sect will bring to Buddhism in the future.
As the Holy Buddha of the Three Realms, Master Tripitaka has no intention of backing down from challenging the existing rules of Buddhism... Moreover, for Buddhism itself, even the Buddha and Bodhisattva are on his side; for the Tang Dynasty,
, Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty was his sworn brother...
It can be said that the right time, place and people are all present, and we have taken the lead.
Master Tripitaka recited the founding Buddhist sutra.
All sentient beings are immersed in it -
Especially the monks, Arhats and Bodhisattvas who came from Lingshan, when they were listening to Master Tripitaka chanting sutras, their eyes were moist.
They are intoxicated and do not want to wake up;
It is also like the vast starry sky, vast and majestic, and all-encompassing, allowing them to feel that the Dharma of consciousness-only Buddhism is as boundless as the sky.
But for the ordinary people in Chang'an City, who were bathing in the light of Buddha and listening to Master Tripitaka's Dharma, they felt a sense of self-confidence, spontaneously rising from the bottom of their hearts, and their waists suddenly straightened a bit.
These visions did not last long and stopped after the sound of Fahai Buddha fell.
"Amitabha."
Master Tripitaka chanted the Buddha's name for a long time, indicating that the unveiling ceremony was over for the time being.
"Dragon King of the Four Seas, congratulations on the founding of the Consciousness Wei Sect!"
Suddenly a high-pitched dragon roar echoed in Ci'en Temple...but the Dragon King of the Four Seas separated everyone, the Dragon King of the East China Sea walked in the front, and the remaining three brothers followed closely behind. Each of the four Dragon Kings held a treasure box in their hands.
...stepped onto the altar.
Guests offering gifts are also part of the opening ceremony.
From another aspect, it is also an important manifestation of the sect’s connections.
However, not all guests can be called out at this time. Only the guests who have received the invitation or the more special ones can walk up to the altar to offer gifts at this stage.
Of course, those monks and gods who did not receive the invitation but came only after hearing the news did not come in vain. When they entered the temple, they had already given their gifts to the "Grand Steward" Wu Jing.
Wu Jing also registered them one by one. If there is an opportunity in the future, he will still return gifts according to this gift list.
They did not come in vain, and Ci'en Temple certainly did not accept their gifts in vain.
Although they had not specifically decided on the order before, they naturally knew who had received the invitation... They were also familiar with such ceremonies, so they arranged them silently according to their status in the Three Realms.
, basically they are all pretty much the same.
Firstly, everyone has this tacit understanding, and secondly, today is the opening ceremony of the Consciousness-only Sect. Those who received the invitations are those who have a close relationship with the Consciousness-only Sect... Naturally, they will not cause any trouble at this time.
Based on the scene before us, the last person in the queue is naturally Lishan Laomu.
Going forward, we have the Great Immortal Zhenyuan; then we have Guanyin Bodhisattva and Mahavatar Tathagata... Which of them comes first and who comes last depends entirely on the two of them, and there is no question of who must go first and who comes last.
In fact, the remaining ones are not much different, but the Dragon King of the Four Seas still takes the lead and is the first to present the gift!
"oops!"
"It's actually the Dragon King!"
Although the Dragon King of the Four Seas always seems to be a head shorter among the many immortals and Buddhas... he still has a certain status among the common people.
After all, for ordinary people, even low-level gods such as the Earth God, the Mountain God and the City God are inaccessible to them... I saw so many legendary figures in one breath today, how can I
It was really an eye-opener.
In fact, in addition to the Dragon King of the Four Seas, all the water gods under the rule of the Tang Dynasty were also present, including many water gods and dragon kings from various rivers, lakes and seas... It looks like the little dragon of the Black Water River, if not for his name.
Bailong, a cousin, can have a seat today...I am afraid that he can only be ranked at the bottom of the water gods.
The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas came forward to offer gifts.
The leader of the Dragon King of the East China Sea was the first to speak: "Little Wang Ao Guang, congratulations to the Holy Buddha on the founding of the sect... I specially present a set of five-element dragon beads to express my respect and ask the Holy Buddha to accept it."
As soon as the Dragon King of the East China Sea finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to open the treasure box in front of him——
Then he saw five fist-sized beads emerging from the treasure box, floating around in mid-air.
The five colors of white, green, black, red, and yellow shine. Then the five elements of brilliance are connected into one piece, showing the appearance of each other, just like one body, flowing endlessly.
Roar--
Then, on top of the dragon ball, five five-color divine dragons appeared, flying and circling in the sky above Ci'en Temple, which caused the people of Chang'an to exclaim in surprise.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Not to mention the common people, even the immortals and Buddhas present were amazed in their hearts.
"These... these five dragon beads are absolutely extraordinary!" Someone couldn't help but exclaimed: "If we are wrong, I am afraid they are the legacy of the ancient dragon clan!"
"As expected of the Dragon Clan, we really have a great business..."
"Hey, there are many treasures in the Dragon Palace. This is the consensus of the three realms... Do you really think this is just a boast?"
"That's true, but these Five Elements Dragon Balls are not ordinary treasures. They are even willing to take out such treasures this time..."
"It depends on who you are giving the gift to...but it is just right now."
"But even so, this kind of skill is probably not a trivial matter for the Dragon Clan, right?"
"Haha... you don't seem to have noticed that this is just a congratulatory gift from the East China Sea Dragon Clan family."
None of the people present are mediocre people. Perhaps when they saw the Five Elements Dragon Ball before, they were slightly attracted to it, but now they have calmed down... and naturally they can notice this situation.
Although the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas came up together, their congratulatory gifts... were not shared.
This also shows that the Sihai Dragon Clan directly sent four copies of the same size gift. This...
Careful people are already looking at the other "distinguished guests" invited by the Consciousness-Wei Sect. The Dragon King of the Four Seas has such a high profile... Will it cause any trouble to them?
After all, not everyone, like their four-sea dragon clan, has the Dragon Palace treasure house left over from the ancient dragon clan.
"This set of Five Elements Dragon Balls is what was left behind after the death of the five seniors of our Dragon Clan... Their true spirits have long been dispersed in the Three Realms, leaving only these five Dragon Balls." Ao Guang briefly introduced the set.
There is not much else to say about the origin of the Five Elements Dragon Ball.
Then he pinched a magic trick and put the dragon ball back into the treasure box.
After Wu Jing recorded all the details, he stepped forward to accept the gift from the Dragon King of the East China Sea... Although these five dragon beads were a bit more expensive, their master and disciple could still afford them.
Then there is the Dragon King of the West Sea.
With Zhuyu, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, in front of him, and his son Ao Lie becoming a disciple of Master Tripitaka, their relationship with the Weishi Sect in the West Sea is the closest.
The Dragon King of the West Sea came forward with a treasure box in his hands, "Little Wang Aorun, congratulations to the Holy Buddha on the founding of the sect."
He did not rush to open his gift, but first thanked Master Tripitaka, "and then thanked the Holy Buddha for teaching the child."
"Amitabha." Fahai clasped his hands together and said with a smile, "The third prince is a good disciple. It is a blessing for a poor monk to have him as his disciple."
"My Xihai doesn't have as many treasures as my elder brother Donghai..." The Dragon King of Xihai reassured himself before opening the treasure box and taking out a whisk. "This whisk is said to be used to collect ancestral dragons."
Made of fallen dragon beards... We, unworthy descendants, cannot get the approval of our ancestors, so we boldly offer it to the Holy Buddha."
hiss--
Everyone present took another breath of cold air.
He said in his heart: What a treasure that is not as vast as the East China Sea!
The bodies of the Dragon and Phoenix clans are covered with treasures. This is a well-known fact in the three realms, let alone the Ancestral Dragon?
Although it is just the dragon beard that fell off the body of the ancestral dragon, it is also related to the ancestral dragon!
The Peacock Princess, who was already behind the Peacock King Bodhisattva, first looked at the five-color feather fan in her hand, and then at the dragon whisker in the treasure box in front of the Dragon King of the West Sea. She probably already had a measure in her heart.
This feather fan of mine is made from the five-color tail feathers shed by my ancestor. It is indispensable that I am able to wander around the three realms.
So, what kind of power should the whisk made from the ancestral dragon's whiskers have?
It can only be said that everyone in the Four Seas Dragon Clan is extremely wealthy and envious.
Don't tell me yet.
Fa Hai glanced at it and felt that this whisk was destined to him.
Before he came to this world, he also had a whisk with him... Originally on the way west, he thought that if he had the chance, he would refine a whisk and use it, but he never had a suitable opportunity.
Unexpectedly, I received a dragon whisker from the Dragon King of the West Sea today.
As the saying goes, treasures have spirits and can choose their own owners. It is rare for Fa Hai to have his heart moved. However, unexpectedly, the dragon whisker could no longer hold it any longer. He got out of the treasure box and rushed towards Master Tripitaka.
Roar--
Accompanied by a dragon roar that resounded through the sky, it was obviously just the dragon whiskers of the ancestral dragon, but at this moment, the whisk directly evolved into the virtual form of the ancestral dragon. The dragon eyes that looked down on the world were truly worthy of the hegemonic demeanor of the past.
The phantom of this dragon, even if the five dragons appeared together before, seemed to be out of reach.
Shenlong probes claws!
The target is Master Tripitaka!
When the Dragon King of the West Sea saw this, he suddenly panicked... This whisk was indeed made from the ancestral dragon's whiskers. Looking at the three realms, it was definitely a top-grade spiritual treasure... But there was only one flaw, that is, they are now
The Dragon Clan of the Four Seas simply cannot let this whisk recognize its master.
Even a single dragon beard of the ancestral dragon, the aura contained in it is enough to cause unbearable pressure on ordinary dragons.
Although the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas were not afraid of the pressure from above, they were not recognized by Fuchen. However, Ao Moang, who was recognized by Fuchen... said that he was not used to Fuchen and that he was a man and should hold a spear in his hand.
in the three realms.
It is precisely because of this that Longxu Fuchen has always stayed in the West Sea, but he has never shown his true power.
Seeing Master Sanzang at this moment and suddenly "getting angry" really caught the Dragon King of the West Sea off guard.
But the Dragon King of the West Sea, who was about to use the magic formula to force the fly whisk back into the treasure box... suddenly stopped the movement of his hand because he saw Master Sanzang directly opposite him seeing the dragon whisker transform into an ancestor.
Not only did Long Xuying not panic, but he smiled and his eyes were bright. This... seemed to be a "just in time" look.
confidence.
To put it simply, the Dragon King of the West Sea saw the word "confidence" emanating from Master Tripitaka everywhere.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! If the true form of the ancestral dragon is here, it will naturally be a different scene, but right now...if Master Tripitaka Lianzulong needs to use a trace of the ancestral dragon breath on his body
, if the phantom form of the ancestral dragon is difficult to conquer, then there is no need to be called the "Holy Buddha" anymore, and there is no need to establish a sect here, the Consciousness Only Sect.
Fahai was actually not upset about this sudden change... This small episode just allowed him to stretch his muscles and allow those monks who had never seen his actions to see his cultivation with their own eyes.
mana.
As the ancestor of a sect, Fa Hai will never be stingy with any opportunity that allows him to show off his cultivation.
For the nascent Consciousness-Only Sect, although Buddhist theories are the core of the sect, they themselves are the cornerstone that maintains their spread in the three worlds.
The stronger your magic power and the higher your cultivation level, the more indestructible the Consciousness-Only Buddhism will be in the three realms.
The moment before the dragon's claws came, Fa Hai pinched the magic formula with his hands and recited the mantra... His whole body was covered with Buddha's radiance, and no matter how sharp his dragon claws were, he could not penetrate any further.
call out--
"The mighty Tianlong!"
Then I saw Master Sanzang let out a loud bang, and the golden light all over his body suddenly condensed into one place, turning into a golden heavenly dragon, entangled with the phantom of the ancestral dragon.
Fa Hai felt something in his heart, clapped his hands together and said, "Come together!"
Roar--
In mid-air, another dragon was seen roaring for nine days, but the two dragons were already reunited.
"Come!"
Fa Hai stretched out his hand and made another move, and the dragon-shaped shadow danced in the air for two and a half weeks, rushing towards Master Tripitaka again.
Only this time... the dragon-shaped shadow was getting smaller and smaller as it soared in the direction of Master Sanzang. When the shadow completely dissipated, everyone saw that the handle of the dragon whisker was already in Master Sanzang's hand.
