This sound echoed around the lighthouse for a long time, attracting Melody Bird and believers at the foot of the mountain to worship one after another, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
The Goddess of Auspiciousness looked at Xiang Que in the midst of Karma Fire in disbelief. For a moment, her Buddha heart trembled.
This is not because the auspicious goddess has a weak will, but because Xiang Que’s voice is too seductive, and his spirit of seeing death as home, being willing to give up his ego, and risking his own life to seek opportunities for all living beings is so contagious.
.
If the Buddha's heart is not strong enough, he may be told to Xiangque on the spot and become a Buddha immediately.
The auspicious Goddess calmed down her mind, looked at him deeply, and then made no move, not even talking to him. She turned around and walked away under the auspicious clouds.
The goddess of auspiciousness did not dare to stay here anymore. There was a bright voice in her heart telling her that she could not stay here for a long time, otherwise she would fall into a situation that would never be recovered.
After the Goddess of Auspicious Fortune left, he gave Xiang Que a slap in the face. This woman's reaction was really fast. If she dared to stop here for a moment, he would be deceived by her accidentally.
The Arhat monk below recited the Ksitigarbha Sutra again.
Xiang Que lowered his head and suddenly said: "Will you all listen to me?"
Yiluoshan monk raised his head and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense there. We are Lingshan Arhats and we respect the Buddha. You are an evil devil, do you still want to bewitch us?"
Xiang Que smiled, and that smile reflected the fire of karma. It should have been quite painful, but he looked particularly peaceful.
"Where did the deception come from? Since you are Lingshan Arhats, have practiced a lot, chanted sutras in front of the lamp every day, and achieved enlightenment, how can I be able to deceive you with just a few words? Then you have failed in practicing Buddhism.
Well, if you can be deceived by my evil words, it will undoubtedly prove that the Hinayana Buddhism you practice is nothing more than this..."
The Arhat monk sneered and said: "Let your tongue grow wild and don't mess with our minds. Our duty is to recite the Vajra Sutra to suppress your evil ways."
Xiang Que asked: "What sutra are you reciting?"
"The Vajra Demon Sutra!"
"Then am I a demon?" Xiang Que asked back.
The Arhat monk said: "Of course you are a demon, otherwise why would the Lantern Buddha suppress you here!"
"What do you think of this eternal fire of karma?"
"Can refine everything in the world!"
Xiang Que spread his hands and said flatly: "The Vajra Demon Subduing Sutra, the power of the Vajra can subdue demons. You say I am a demon, so why don't I have any attitude of subduing the Dharma? Eternal karma fire can refine all things in the world, how come
But I haven't been refined even a single hair? Haha, what's the truth? I am a Buddha or a devil, it's just based on what I say..."
"The Deng Deng Buddha says that I am a devil, then I am the devil in his heart. The followers of Mahayana Buddhism say that I am a Buddha, then I am the Buddha in their hearts. What I am depends on how others view me! It is not who says anything.
That’s what!”
Xiang Que clasped his hands together again and said in a low voice: "If I don't go to hell, who will? I risk my life to save all sentient beings, just to find a way to become a Buddha for all sentient beings! Alas... It's a Buddha, it's a demon
?”
"If I become a Buddha, there will be no demons in the world. If I become a demon, what will the Buddha do to me?"
Xiang Que suddenly heard spring thunder in his tongue. This sound fell in the ears of one hundred and eight Arhat monks, as if there was really a thunder on the ground.
The Arhat monks were all stunned and looked at each other. Although no one said anything, some people couldn't help but have a thought in their hearts, that is, this man's words seemed to make some sense?
On the other side, the goddess of auspiciousness returned to Randen Temple. When she saw him returning, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "What did Tathagata Buddha say?"
"I have not seen the Tathagata." The Deng Deng Buddha shook his head and said.
The goddess of auspiciousness frowned and asked, "Why don't you see me? The Tathagata is at Lingshan Mountain and has not gone out. I heard that he was preaching sutras with all the venerables and Bodhisattvas a few days ago. He should not be in retreat either."
The Deng Deng Buddha said: "Without seeing the Tathagata, I am letting Xiang Que do whatever I want, and he will not interfere..."
The Goddess of Auspiciousness took a deep breath and looked at the Lantern Buddha for a while, then she slowly said: "I think we should use our great supernatural power to forcibly refine him, and we should not let him be suppressed in the green lantern."
The lamp-burning Buddha frowned and asked, "Why?"
The auspicious Goddess thought for a while, then told him about the rebirth of the Miaoyinniao, and then continued: "This man's evil words are extremely deceptive. The believers of Mahayana Buddhism have already worshiped him as a god, and these Miaoyinniao are
He fanned the flames, and I'm afraid more people in the West will be instigated by him in the future."
Lantern Buddha shook his head and said: "No, if I kill him, if this news spreads, the outside world will think that this is Lingshan's attempt to silence him. Although he is dead, Mahayana Buddhism will not be destroyed, and will be revived again because of this."
It spread widely that he is dead, which proves that Lingshan is afraid of him!"
"So, he can only be enlightened and converted to our Buddha, but he cannot be killed easily. Moreover, behind this man are two demon emperors, as well as Shu Mountain, Xiandu Mountain and Dead Sea Tiandao City. If he dies, I'm afraid
These people will be dissatisfied and come to the West to ask for an explanation..."
The Goddess of Auspiciousness could not help but sigh after hearing this. What the Deng Deng Buddha said was quite reasonable. This person could not be killed in Lingshan, otherwise there would be a lot of trouble in the future. Only Xiang Que could take the initiative and willingly surrender.
A very bad premonition arose in the heart of the Goddess of Auspiciousness.
Especially Xiang Que's words "If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?" is so exciting.
The Goddess of Auspiciousness deeply felt that the Burning Deng Buddha might have brought back a hot potato this time. It would be difficult to kill him, and it would also be difficult to teach him.
This guy is really smelly and tough.
But at this time, the situation under the lighthouse suddenly changed drastically. As the mantra was preaching in front of the missing lamp, Miaoyiniao, one of the four sacred birds of Buddhism, appeared again. This incident spread among the disciples of Mahayana Buddhism.
.
The most common saying about this is that the Mahayana Buddha's sermons can enlighten all living beings. Even a bunch of hairless beasts can transform into divine birds. If this is the case, wouldn't it be true that if we listen to the Buddha's teachings, how can we achieve enlightenment?
The day of Buddhahood must not be far away.
Then, the disciples of Mahayana Buddhism began to come one after another towards the foot of Beacon Mountain. Within two days, there were thousands of people gathered here, and the number was still increasing.
Xiang Que looked at the dark crowd at the foot of the mountain, sighed, and said: "Some people say that I am a demon, and they want to keep me in Lingshan and refine it every day. Why do you think I am?"
The disciples of Mahayana Buddhism looked at each other, but they all raised their heads at the same time and said: "You are my Buddha!"
Xiang Que smiled and said softly: "If I become a Buddha, there will be no demons in the world. If I become a demon, what will the Buddha do to me? How can others judge whether I am a Buddha or a demon? It all depends on me...
