Three hundred and ninetieth eight chapters pure land
The little Taoist boys from the serious sect who can be by Li Yu's side and make alchemy with him are all very talented.
"My name is Bai Yuchan, what's your name?"
The little clam's eyes flashed and he shook his head.
"You don't have a name, do you?"
Although Bai Yuchan is only seven or eight years old, his old-fashioned appearance makes him very majestic in the eyes of the little clam.
"Oh, I know!" Bai Yuchan said: "You must have just transformed. Senior Sister Baochai is the most knowledgeable in our sect. You can ask her to give you a name."
The little clam is wrapped in two shells, and its white and tender feet are not wearing socks, so it doesn't hurt when stepped on the ground.
She nodded in understanding, and Bai Yuchan took her to the lake. As expected, there was already a wooden house here.
Li Yu clapped his hands and said, "Okay, you will live here from now on."
The little clam spirit was a little surprised and tilted his head to look at Li Yu. The master was still in the alchemy room just now, why did he come in front of him?
Bai Yuchan smiled and said: "There are clones of the Headmaster everywhere in the door. The one we saw in the alchemy room just now is the Headmaster's true body."
"Oh, so awesome."
When Bai Yuchan heard someone praising Li Yu, he was even happier than praising him. He said happily: "Of course, our headmaster is a serious sage with unparalleled Taoism. It would be great if I had the cultivation level as high as the headmaster.
"
The little clam lowered its head, smiled softly, and got into the pool.
Bai Yuchan watched her disappear on the water. He was about to call for help, but suddenly laughed at himself: "I'm so stupid, she is originally an aquatic tribe, how could she drown."
Li Yu and Song Jiang noticed the childish talk and childishness here, and the black man couldn't help but smile.
In the alchemy room, Li Yu closed the mirror in his hand and asked: "Brother Gongming, you are well-informed, what is the origin of this clam spirit?"
Song Jiang shook his head and said: "I can't tell, there's nothing special about it."
Li Yu shook his head, disapproving in his heart. Ao Lie was the daughter of the Dragon King of the West Sea, and her magic power was the highest among the dragons. She attracted the attention of the Heavenly Court, who spent a lot of effort to suppress her.
How could such a person cultivate an ordinary little demon casually? This clam spirit must have something unique, or it might be a bloodline, or a natural mutant like a nine-headed worm.
Song Jiang smiled and said: "Whatever, we are friends and not enemies anyway. The more powerful she is, the better."
"Haha." Li Yu was noncommittal. He and Song Jiang had different ideas, but he didn't intend to argue with him.
Everyone has his or her own way of living in the world, and the purpose of the orthodox way is to put "I" first.
To revise the sutras is to live out oneself, understand one's original mind, and thereby obtain the great freedom one desires most in one's heart.
Nowadays, the sky is full of gods and Buddhas, and believers are required to burn incense, kneel down, prostrate and praise them. The serious way is completely opposite to them.
Song Jiang went through three volumes of heavenly books, covering everything, but still could not see what was special about this clam spirit, so Li Yu no longer struggled.
"Brother Gongming, do you know the Pure Land of the West?"
Song Jiang nodded, "The Pure Land of the Western Heaven is the holy land of Buddhism, where all the Buddhas chant sutras."
"All the Buddhas are here, wouldn't it be amazing to fight?" Li Yu was a little nervous. After all, Dragon Girl Ao Lie was his friend. If the enemy was too strong, he didn't want Ao Lie to die.
Song Jiang laughed, stood up, and said, "That's not necessarily the case."
"Isn't it strong enough for all the Buddhas to recite sutras?"
Song Jiang waved his hands and said: "Everyone in the world regards distance as valuable. If the eyesight cannot reach it, they will use imagination instead. How have all the Buddhas come to the Six Dynasties? Vajra Bodhisattva can defeat Lu Bu's Fangtian Painted Halberd, and can still beat Zhang Ba.
Snake spear? If so
If they are really capable, why don't they see a Buddhist kingdom appear in the Six Dynasties? It's just that they are far away in the West and have never been to the Central Plains. With countless Buddhist monks tirelessly telling and spreading praises, the methods of the Buddhas have been infinitely improved."
It was the first time Li Yu heard this saying, "There are many masters in Buddhism, and among the Six Dynasties, there are many eminent monks with powerful powers. Are the Buddhas in the Pure Land not as good as them?"
Song Jiang nodded and said: "It is very possible that the Six Dynasties are the descendants of the Xia Dynasty, with bloodline unparalleled in the three realms. Buddhism was spread to the Six Dynasties, and it is common for young people to come out of blue. The most powerful Buddhas in the Pure Land of the Western Heaven also went west from us.
It’s just that the Buddha’s Dharma teaches people to take refuge. Even if there are eminent monks whose Dharma power exceeds that of all Buddhas, they will still be just as pious.”
Song Jiang's statement was very novel, but Li Yu believed it 70% to 80% because he thought it was so reasonable.
It is very possible that the Buddhas in the Western Pure Land are not as powerful as the legends say. Otherwise, how could they be so humble when they came to preach the Buddha?
In order to spread Buddhism, Moro actually castrated himself with a knife and entered the palace to serve the nobles.
The great monks are good at building momentum, touting, and marketing. They have a mature religious system. When preaching, they will innovate their preaching methods according to the nature of the local people.
This was a dimensionality-reducing blow to the beliefs of the Six Dynasties, because the local religions and doctrines of the Central Plains focused on character.
Do you like to learn or not, do you like to believe or not.
Therefore, Buddhism in the Central Plains became more and more prosperous.
On the western plateau, there was another model. Buddhism controlled Tubo and thus ruled the entire plateau.
In fact, they are a mixture of Indian Hindu Shaktism, Tantric Buddhism and Bon religion. They divide people into three, six or nine grades, and even use slaves for human sacrifice in sacrifices.
It has almost abandoned the original Buddhism, attaches great importance to supernatural powers and divination spells, and is happy with fire sacrifices, dual cultivation, sexual power worship, and evil god worship. Their statues include many Hindu gods, skeletons, and human skins.
For each person who is ordained as a monk, there must be ten households dedicated to serving him and becoming Buddha slaves.
The Tantric Buddhism there is not like the Buddhism in the Central Plains. They are overbearing and autocratic, and they raise the daughters of poor families as concubines for them to undergo initiation and dual cultivation.
These people are deeply influenced by the Brahman sex teachings. They observe the impurity inside and outside, the lack of love and happiness, and the purpose is to abstain from desire, especially the abstention from sexual desire.
And their corpse forest worship is precisely the darkest and most debauched purpose. Whether the Shaktism sects like to hide secrets, their ultimate goal is to achieve the so-called "supreme happiness" in extreme darkness and extreme debauchery.
The ancestors of these people all understood this, so they repeatedly emphasized that "you cannot give up your daughter's treasure" and "you cannot become a Buddha immediately if you give up your concubine."
In fact, as the Buddha said, these people are like cooking with sand. The sand is not the rice and they are passed down for sexual immorality. They will die and fall into the endless hell.
When Song Jiang talked about these things, he did know more than Li Yu. He smiled and said: "It's only a matter of time before civil strife comes to Buddhism. Think about how powerful Buddhism was in the Six Dynasties, but there were a group of Bodhisattvas and Buddhas above them.
It's just that I practiced Buddhism earlier, but it has always occupied the lotus throne of the Buddhas, just like a thin vine with a huge and heavy melon growing on it. It wants to continue to maintain it, but can it keep the melon?"
When he said this, Li Yu immediately became full of confidence in Jin Chanzi and his party's westward journey.
They want to wash the pure soil with blood, maybe they can really wash it clean.
