Chapter 761: I am here to slay demons and help all living beings; it is beyond the reach of the whip!
Buddha smiled instead.
"Are monks the only ones who pray to Buddha and worship gods when encountering difficulties?" The Tathagata of Many Treasures stopped pretending, "All living beings in the three realms are like this. I heard...the little monsters in the three realms today are all praying to White Dragon Bodhisattva and Tripitaka.
What do you think?"
"Actually, the purpose of praying to gods and worshiping Buddha is to seek peace of mind..." Many Treasures Tathagata looked at Sanzang and said, "Sanzang, you are still a little too extreme."
"There are hundreds of millions of holy spirits in the three realms, but you are the only one Tang Sanzang... For the sentient beings in the three realms, immortals and Buddhas are actually just a sustenance in their hearts."
In this regard, Fahai only said one sentence, "But the immortal Buddha received the incense and offered it as an offering."
Tathagata:...
Tathagata Buddha really has nothing to say about this matter, because there are not a few immortal Buddhas in the three realms who "have prostitution" in the human world for free, and even the immortal Buddhas who appear in the human world are not able to fulfill everything.
Even Guanyin Bodhisattva cannot cover everything and take care of all believers.
After all, some people who come to make wishes have evil intentions, or are simply treacherous and evil people. Of course, the Bodhisattva will not fulfill them... But there are some wishes that are so outrageous that the Bodhisattva cannot laugh or cry.
For example... every year during the imperial examination, many students will seek blessings in front of the statue of Bodhisattva... They don't seek to be the top scorer in high school, they just want to be on the list... But Bodhisattva still doesn't answer, and never does.
I have intervened in this literary matter.
After all, even Kong Sheng and Wen Quxing just stood aside and let the students from the lower world work according to their own abilities. She, a "foreign monk", had no reason to interfere in this matter.
There are also those who come to pray for their parents to live a long life... Bodhisattva has nothing to do with this matter. Things like Yangshou are stuck in the book of life and death in the underworld after all... But there are not exceptions.
, if the filial piety of a mortal child can really move heaven and earth, Bodhisattva will not hesitate to take action.
After all, the longevity in the Book of Life and Death is not irreversible... To a Bodhisattva, this is just an expression of consuming some merit, and merit is by no means a rare thing to a Bodhisattva.
Among the immortals and Buddhas in the three realms, the merits of the Bodhisattva are unique. Even the Buddha would be willing to bow down to him when he saw it.
If there is one person in the Three Realms who can calmly accept the incense and incense of beings in the Three Realms, then there must be a Bodhisattva. But besides Bodhisattvas, how many others can be counted?
Therefore... after the Tathagata Many Treasures became a Buddha, he issued an order not to allow his golden statue to be erected, let alone to allow living beings to worship him with incense. Unfortunately... he could not stop it.
For this reason, although the golden body of the Buddha is enshrined in every major Buddhist temple in the Three Realms, the Buddha has always kept a respectful distance from the power of faith in these incense and refused to take any of it.
Although Tripitaka's words at this moment can attack most of the immortal Buddhas in the Three Realms, Tathagata Buddha himself is also very calm.
As for the White Dragon Bodhisattva, who is worshiped by thousands of little demons... Aolena has always been on the front line of transforming the little demons, and has never slacked off on this matter.
Not to mention that Xiao Bailong did not bear the power of these incense beliefs, even if he accepted them completely, he deserved it.
However, for the Consciousness-Only Dharma, belief in incense has never been their pursuit. What they only seek is to transform sentient beings... Therefore, the status of Daci'en Temple has become increasingly transcendent in the three realms.
The Buddha had no doubt that if he was reincarnated and Wutian captured Lingshan, then the Great Ci'en Temple would definitely replace the Great Leiyin Temple and become the new Buddhist holy land.
This is also the reason for his reincarnation.
Seeing the Buddha like this, Sanzang looked at the Buddha with an increasingly complicated expression, "Buddha, if you don't hear it and help the world, let alone the Buddha? Just now... the Buddha seems to be complacent because he is not receiving incense."
Buddha:...
Is this Confucian knowledge?
Do you use Confucian knowledge to criticize the Buddha of Buddhism?
"Amitabha." Master Tripitaka clasped his hands together and met the Buddha's gaze without any intention of retreating.
He doesn't think there is any problem with this sentence in Buddhism... The world's great roads lead to the same destination through different paths.
Being poor cares themselves, being wealthy cares the world.
It comes from "Mencius" and is the true saying of the Confucian sage.
It means that when a person fails to achieve his ambition, he should keep himself clean and focus on improving personal cultivation and moral character; when a person achieves his ambition, he should think about carrying forward the good and punish the evil and promote the good.
Sanzang deeply agreed.
The principle is the same as that of Buddhism, but it is transformed into saving oneself and saving others.
And the Buddha is obviously a master, and he should also help the world and save all sentient beings.
If others doubted him like this, Tathagata Buddha would definitely let him know what profound Buddhism is... But at this moment, the person speaking to him in front of him was Tripitaka Buddha, and Tathagata Buddha was actually a little weak for a moment.
"I have long said that you are more suitable for the position of Lord of Lingshan than I am." The Buddha did not want to argue with Tripitaka, so he changed the topic and said, "Now that the matter has become a foregone conclusion, I wonder what Tripitaka wants?"
"I'm just here to conquer demons and help all living beings." Sanzang's answer was simple.
Xizhou is the private territory of Buddhism. There are very few immortal sects in the Three Realms who will establish their gates in Hezhou, Xiniu. There are only a few like Zhenyuan Immortal... Therefore, it is really difficult to protect the entire Xizhou with just one Wanshou Mountain Wuzhuang Temple.
territory.
And some of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Buddhism even took the opportunity to bring human beings into their own Pure Land Buddha Kingdom to become their own source of incense.
Although Fa Hai has not taken action against these Buddhas who "take advantage of the fire" for the time being, he has obviously remembered their names in his heart. When the great calamity comes, he will be able to know whether these Buddhas killed them in order to protect living beings.
Incorporated into the Buddhist kingdom.
The factions of Buddhism are actually complicated and far from being as harmonious as they seem.
When the Buddha was alive, he could still rely on this Lingshan to lead the group of Buddhas. Now that the Buddha is about to reincarnate...each sect has taken the opportunity to stand on its own, and no longer intends to obey the orders of the Lingshan.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In this regard, Buddha obviously also intended to indulge.
If all the Buddhist sects are really restrained in Lingshan, then Wutian will only be given the opportunity to catch them all... Although the Buddha decided to reincarnate and become a hands-off shopkeeper, he didn't mind causing some trouble for Wutian, so
Give Sanzang some time.
But now it seems that there is no need to worry about it... After all, Sanzang has always been independent and does not like to be manipulated by others... and his own layout seems to be beyond Sanzang's eyes.
More importantly...now the Buddha can clearly feel that Sanzang is dissatisfied with his reincarnation.
But what pleased the Buddha was that Sanzang did not argue with him about the Buddha at this time... It can be seen that Sanzang still had a strong point in his heart. But even if he argued with the Buddha, the Buddha would not be afraid, because he is the Buddha.
As for Sanzang's opinions on his reincarnation... the Buddha wouldn't take it too seriously. Now that Sanzang has come to Lingshan in person, he can go to reincarnation more confidently and boldly.
You can't be persuaded, and you can't stay if you stay.
And after leaving, Buddha has no intention of coming back... As for who will decide the future of Lingshan, Tathagata Buddha doesn't care at all... He even thinks that if Sanzang and Wutian can reach an agreement, then for
Buddhism is the best result.
Maybe others don't know it, but Buddha knows very well... Wutian likes Tripitaka very much.
As early as when Sanzang was studying in the West, Wutian had repeatedly stated that he wanted to "recruit" Sanzang... and even because of this incident, he was willing to exchange some "benefits" with the Buddha despite the great calamity of the demon world.
.
It was just rejected by the Buddha because at that time, the Buddha himself was also optimistic about Tripitaka and decided to reserve the position of Lord of Lingshan for Tripitaka.
Unfortunately, neither of them could achieve what they wanted, and Sanzang was destined not to be a vassal of others.
But at this moment, the Buddha looked at Master Tripitaka sitting in front of him, and a thought flashed through his mind, "A gentleman can bully him."
This time, however, he entered the "urn" on his own without even having to be invited by the Buddha. He entered the Lingshan Mountain by himself.
...
Tang Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, all the countries in Western Continent are inviting soldiers and horses from the Tang Dynasty to enter the country." Xue Rengui said to His Majesty, "Now that a great disaster is coming, I ask Your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible."
The elite soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty are unquestionable in the Three Realms.
In the past three hundred years, various countries in the Western Continent have also sent their "elites" to the Tang Dynasty for training... thus truly seeing what a true military leader is.
What most shocked the major forces in the Three Realms was the joint drill between the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals. Although the scene in the martial arts formation at that time was not known to the outside world, it is said that after returning that time, the Jade Emperor dispatched the Heavenly Court
All the generals conducted a comprehensive and intensive training for all major military camps in Heaven.
The outcome is self-evident.
However, the emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty were not complacent just because they were lucky enough to defeat the heavenly soldiers and generals... because they knew that this victory was due to the heavenly soldiers and generals underestimating the enemy; secondly, it was the generals who commanded them, not the heavenly ones.
Those famous generals; in the end, the victory of the Tang Army was not easy, it could even be described as a tragic victory.
In response, Datang's marshals, generals and think tanks also launched a series of special training targeting the weaknesses of Datang's army.
As for the heavenly soldiers and generals in heaven, they are all trained in the human world...because one day in heaven and one year on earth, training in heaven is too much of a waste.
Because of this great victory, the major forces in the three realms further understood the power of the Tang Dynasty's military strategists. Therefore, when the great catastrophe was approaching, in order to be safe, countries in the Western Continent still asked for help from the Tang Dynasty, hoping that the Tang Dynasty could send reinforcements to the country.
, and also hope that the Tang Dynasty can send monks from the Daci'en Temple to Xizhou to subjugate demons and save all living beings.
"well."
Faced with this situation, Li Shimin sighed, "It's beyond our reach!"
Of course, Li Shimin also hopes to take this opportunity to station the Tang army in various countries in the Western Continent. However, these are extraordinary times... If there is not a sufficient scale of Tang soldiers, supplemented by strong generals, it will actually be far from effective.
reveal their true strength.
If a lone army is besieged by a large number of demons in Xizhou, their fate can be imagined...
The army of the Tang Dynasty was used to protect the people of the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, like Baoxiang, Wuji and Chechi, these three countries worshiped the Tang Dynasty as their suzerain state, and were protected by the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty... And from another perspective, these three countries were far away from the Tang Dynasty.
They are relatively close to each other, so their soldiers are above a certain level and have received training from the Tang Dynasty all year round, so they can cooperate with the Tang army in a tacit understanding.
Just because they can't recruit the Tang Dynasty's army doesn't mean that the country in Xizhou has nothing to do... Because there is news from Beizhou that they have a "demon camp" composed of a group of demons who can enter Xizhou.
Help them resist the demons of the future demon world.
At the beginning, everyone was still wondering where this group of "demon camp" came from... After further investigation, we found out that it was Yuan Tiangang's handiwork.
He has been working hard in Beizhou for more than three hundred years, and he must finally achieve some results.
What lurks in the dark is the Bat Cave, and what's on the surface is the "demon camp" composed of the Beizhou demons he recruited... These demons are bent on facing the Tang Dynasty, and many of them are even being killed by Yuan Tiangang.
After recruiting them, they all expressed their loyalty to the Tang Dynasty through Li Bai of Chishan.
Then Yuan Tiangang came to ask them to express their loyalty to the Tang Dynasty... In the end, they were inexplicably recruited into the ranks of bad people.
Of course there was discomfort at the beginning, but later I realized... bad people are just perfect for them!
When the "Demon Camp" entered Xizhou, it could be regarded as receiving assistance from the Tang Dynasty.
Compared to Xizhou and Buddhism, which are slightly hectic, Dongzhou and Tianting are much more stable.
At this moment, in the Yaochi, the Jade Emperor was entrusting Yang Jian with everything... As for Emperor Ziwei, who was originally scheduled to take over the heaven, he actually reincarnated first.
When the Jade Emperor got the news, he almost cursed... He had calculated everything, but he never expected that Emperor Ziwei would strike him at the critical moment. Fortunately, only Emperor Ziwei left, and his
All the five war gods stayed and were assigned to Yang Jian's command, waiting for dispatch.
Although Wu Ji War God and Yang Jian had some grievances back then, they still cherished each other more. There was no deep hatred between the two parties. Now they have been resolved... and they can be regarded as old acquaintances.
Yang Jian also released the Peng Demon King from the prison, preparing to let him perform meritorious service.
As for the Lion and Camel King and the Monkey King...the two of them were already punished by the Ming Dynasty for cannibalism and causing cholera in the world.
In fact, the Jade Emperor didn't say too many specific things, because Yang Jian knew what to do better than him... He just encouraged Yang Jian a few words, and stated that if he could not return to heaven in time after suffering tribulations on earth, then let Yang Jian find another place.
The Emperor of Heaven ascends the throne, or he takes the supreme position.
In response, Yang Jian clearly expressed his rejection.
Then the Jade Emperor went to the Sun Star, but he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived on the Sun Star, he saw a rainbow light escaping...
"who is it?"
The Jade Emperor looked gloomy.
Little Golden Crow had no intention of answering. Instead, he looked at the Jade Emperor with suspicious eyes, as if to say: Who can escape your eyes?
Of course the Jade Emperor knew who the visitor was, but he just wanted to know if Little Golden Crow would hide it.
