Chapter 1,247 The great origin of the little turtle, the savior of the world!
"If the donor knows it, why should he be aggressive?"
Accompanied by a peaceful voice, a silhouette of golden light emerged from behind, and a monk with a rough appearance and gentle temperament stepped forward and came to the front, clasping his hands together and performing a courtesy.
Li Yan returned the gift and said seriously: "All Bodhisattvas have four vows. One is to save all sentient beings, the other is to end all worries, the third is to learn all Dharma, and the fourth is to realize the fruit of all Buddhas."
"The purpose of the Great Vow is to express the determination and will to perfect the Buddha's path. Practice is not only about achieving oneself, but also about helping all living beings to escape suffering, gain happiness, and finally be liberated."
"However, this world has been stolen by evil spirits, cultivating evil and accumulating troubles. Isn't this what Bodhisattvas want?" Hearing this, Sha Monk sighed: "Ashamed! Ashamed!"
Xiaoqian also said: "Bodhisattva, we catalyze the demons not to destroy your great ambitions, but because we don't want to see the demonic tribulations triggered in the future, causing trouble in the world and getting out of control!"
Sha Monk said firmly: "They can't get out."
Xiaoqian frowned. Although this Bodhisattva is just like this world, he has a good temper and is not aggressive, but he has witnessed the birth of a demon with his own eyes. Nine tribulations are happening in the outside world. Why can't he get out?
Li Yan understood: "I heard that there are also categories of trouble demons. Internal trouble demons refer to the troubles that arise in the mind of a practitioner, causing turmoil and hindering practice. External trouble demons are instigated by demons, causing people to have all kinds of troubles in practice and interrupt their practice.
Which one corresponds to the nine tribulations of this world?”
Sha Monk said: "Nine kalpas are internal troubles and demons."
Li Yan verified the conjecture: "Internal trouble demons must reside in the body of a practitioner, while external trouble demons are independent demons. When the Bodhisattva said they will not escape, he means that external trouble demons cannot escape from the great wish, right?
?”
"That's true."
Sha Monk nodded in response, then showed a look of shame: "I am a righteous person in my great position, a golden Arhat, but I am unable to break evil and delusion. I am ashamed! I am ashamed!"
He was full of shame and humility when he appeared. With the world now like this, it is already rare for a golden Arhat to be able to make great aspirations and suppress the devil to prevent him from leaving. It seems that he should not be blamed anymore.
But what happened to the demon inside Yan Shifan?
Could it be that……
Xiaoqian's face changed as she thought about it.
Li Yan obviously thought of the same point and asked the key: "How many lifetimes of great aspirations have been made by the Buddhist sect?"
Sha Monk said: "In order to reach the other shore, I have three thousand aspirations for the world."
Li Yan's eyes were solemn, but Xiaoqian thought she had heard wrongly: "How many?" Sha Monk said: "Not only is there Zhenru in Lingshan Mountain, but there are also gods in heaven. They all have the true knowledge of the Buddha and make great aspirations to establish the future world."
Xiaoqian's eyes widened and she couldn't believe it: "Every god and Buddha created a world? How is this possible..."
Li Yan had no difficulty in understanding it, and even helped translate it: "It is not the gods and Buddhas who create the world, but the seeds of Buddha's mind, which serve as the foundation and extend a river, and the participating gods and Buddhas build their own ferry boats."
, scrambling to reach the other shore.”
Sha Monk was quite surprised and sincerely praised: "The donor has great connections with Buddha and great wisdom!"
Li Yan saw so clearly because he had clearly understood the path of the seventh and eighth consciousnesses, continued to practice, and used the seeds of mind to control the data of life and everything that exists.
If the Buddha shared this true knowledge, he would actually share the life database. Based on the data, the gods and Buddhas would turn their aspirations into the future they hoped for.
Of course, these futures are not a given future, they are just branches, but they are not completely false because there is evidence to rely on.
As seen in this world, the familiar people have devoted themselves to Luo Wanxiang of Buddhism, the Chilian of fasting and chanting Buddha, and become Hu Zongxian, a businessman traveling around the world... In line with the cause, different results will be derived.
Only Yan Song in Jiajing had no change in his style of painting the monarch and his ministers. Yan Song began to recite Buddha's name in order to be charming, while Jiajing was full of lust for power no matter what method he practiced.
In any case, these prove the diversity of the future, so Shen Ao said that this world is neither true nor false.
If it does not develop like this in the future, this will be false. Otherwise, it will replace the present world and become the real future. Isn’t it neither true nor false?
Thinking of this, Li Yan opened his sleeves and let the little turtle poke his head out: "Has Bodhisattva seen it?"
Sha Monk looked at Little Turtle, a little confused.
Li Yan said: "It comes from the Shen'ao clan and is the elder brother of the Shen'ao who is now on Sanxian Island."
For the first time, Sha Monk's face moved, he was in awe, and clasped his hands together: "It's actually the Savior of the World in front of you!"
Li Yanqi asked: "What is this statement?"
Sha Monk explained: "Nine hundred years ago, the heaven and earth suffered disasters, all souls were robbed, and demons descended from the sky and infiltrated into the four major continents. I, the Buddha, lead all living beings to the other side, hoping to eliminate the demonic atmosphere and find a peaceful afterlife..."
"However, the demons are raging, and even with the power of my Buddha, it is difficult to support them. Fortunately, Shen Ao contributed his divine power and turned it into the foundation of the world, so that the three thousand realms of great aspirations can be opened."
"Shen Ao has made great contributions, and both gods and Buddhas respect him as the savior of the world!"
Xiaoqian was moved when she heard this. She never expected that this slow turtle could have such a great background. Seeing the Bodhisattva solemnly saluting, she hurried to follow.
Li Yan looked at Xiaogui with some emotion.
When the Tathagata attained enlightenment, he was swallowed by a peacock, and after he cut his back and came out, he still recognized the peacock as his mother and was named the Peacock Great Ming Bodhisattva. Now he behaves in a similar manner, only even greater.
Thinking of the past, the ancestor of Shen Ao sacrificed his life in order to cut off the four legs to hold up the ends of the sky and save the world;
Today, the leader of Shen Ao cooperates with the Buddha and voluntarily transforms into the foundation of the other world, so that his divine power is exhausted and he becomes the small and exquisite appearance he is now. Such a sacrifice is so loyal to the whole family!
After hearing Sha Seng's evaluation and the respectful expressions of Li Yan and Xiao Qian, the little turtle moved its paws, seemed a little embarrassed, and turned its head.
Xiaoqian thought it was quite cute, but secretly regretted it: "It's a pity that I can no longer tease Turtle anymore. He is a great contributor to saving the world!"
Li Yanze saw a different emotion from it: "Are you regretting it?" Sha Seng's words are not false. This leader of the gods must have supported the world on the other side and made such a huge sacrifice.
But since it recognized the Buddha's plan to save the world, why did it go through the fog and go to the southern state?
Shen Ao is never restless by nature and cannot restrain his loneliness. So if it wants to leave the world it created with its help, has it discovered that the aspirational world created by Buddhism with the help of its divine power is not as able to reach the other side as expected?
?
The little turtle was very spiritual, but could not communicate directly. Li Yan still asked Sha Seng:
"Why was the world of Three Thousand Visions stolen by the devil?"
Sha Monk looked at the little turtle again: "Since the spiritual master is accompanying you, you are also qualified to know the inside story. It is not that the demon has stolen this place, but that those who are originally infected by the demon are divided into three thousand realms by me, the Buddha.
, conversion and conversion.”
"So, they are demons, but they just turned into monks?" Li Yan then asked: "Now that they are stimulated and reveal their true form, what should they do?"
Sha Monk said: "Donor, don't worry. The demons went against their nature and worshiped the truth. The troubled demons have entered the reincarnation. You should forget your past life, chant sutras and practice Buddhism again, without any distracting thoughts." Li Yan raised his eyebrows: "Is this a new world?"
?”
Sha Monk did not deny: "Suppressing demons is the foundation of our great ambition, and everything else is just a side detail. Now that we are boiling with desire, demon tribulations are everywhere, and we should reopen them!"
Li Yan said: "But in this case, the Bodhisattva's great aspirations may be hindered by us, and it will be difficult to compete with the great aspirations of other gods and Buddhas to reach the other side!" Sha Monk didn't take it seriously: "My cultivation is shallow, so I don't have extravagant hopes."
Xiaoqian listened beside her and figured out the context.
Nearly a thousand years ago, there were changes in the world, and demons descended to erode the lives of the four continents. In order to suppress the demons, Buddha released the seeds of his mind, and with the help of Shen Ao, gave birth to the World of Three Thousand Great Aspirations.
These great aspirations point directly to the future. To put it more simply and understandably, it means that if the world built by a god or Buddha can perfectly solve the evil calamity so that there will no longer be demons in the future, then his great wishes will win and become the destiny of heaven and earth.
The correct answer is the bridge to the other side.
Therefore, there will be no demons of worries within the world of great wishes. The Buddhist cultivators we saw before were originally demons of worries. They were taught to look like monks. Now, under the stimulation of external forces, they have returned to their original appearance.
Of course, this also proves that Sha Monk's ambition is unrealistic. It is like a bubble that looks beautiful but is actually illusory and will burst as soon as it is popped.
After Xiaoqian finished summarizing, Li Yan asked a question that seemed unrelated to the above: "According to the words of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, a thousand years ago, during the great calamity of heaven and earth, when Buddha traveled eastward, a monster from Huaguo Mountain stopped him, and then
What's going on?"
Sha Monk fell silent for a long time and then slowly said: "That is my senior brother. He was once the Monkey King of Huaguo Mountain. He was named the Monkey King of Monkey King. When he was causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace, he was suppressed by the Buddha for five hundred years.
Later, I converted to Buddhism, and my protector traveled west to obtain the true scriptures, attained the great vocation and attained the righteous fruition, and defeated the Buddha in battle!"
At this point, the golden Arhat's eyes showed sadness and he clasped his hands together: "Unexpectedly, this calamity has come. He was deceived by the demon, rebelled against the Buddha and turned into the demon, and made a big fuss in Lingshan. He has been suppressed by my Buddha!"
"Thank you Bodhisattva for clarifying my doubts!"
Li Yanji bowed his head, and Sha Monk returned the salute, retreated backwards, merged into the Buddha's light, and disappeared.
Although there are many problems in the construction of his ambitious world and it cannot be used as a bridge to reach the other side, here, he still exists like a creator god. His thoughts come and go without any hindrance. Under normal circumstances, all incidents are hidden from perception.
But watching the Bodhisattva leave, Li Yan looked at the little turtle with a questioning expression.
The little turtle understood immediately, nodded his head, and opened his mouth to spit out a stream of fairy air. This fairy air surrounded the surroundings, creating a misty space and becoming a pure land where he could communicate privately without being intercepted by the outside world.
Even if I have great ambitions, I cannot make an exception.
This is the power of the savior spiritual Lord who participates in creating the world of great aspirations. Such actions also made Xiaoqian's face change slightly: "Young Master, don't you believe in the Golden Body Arhat Bodhisattva?"
Li Yan asked back: "What do you think?"
Xiaoqian thought carefully, thought about it again and said: "I think what this Bodhisattva said is true and there is no deception."
Although the status of a Bodhisattva has long been difficult to judge by appearance, this golden-bodied Arhat is indeed quite sincere, and he is not like the kind of cunning and cunning person.
Li Yan also trusted the Buddhist team, but he believed in the hard-working and honest Sha Monk. He had a different view on this monk: "Have you ever thought about it, since you have participated in the other shore project and made great aspirations, more than just
There are Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and gods in heaven, so why do all sentient beings in this world only know the Buddha and not the Jade Emperor?"
Xiaoqian said: "This... is indeed weird!"
Li Yan expressed his speculation: "Maybe deep down in this person's heart, he doesn't want to see the Jade Emperor.
"In his previous life, he was a curtain-roller general. He accidentally broke a glass cup. The Jade Emperor ordered a heavy punishment of eight hundred strokes. He was demoted to the lower world and turned into a monster. He was the same as before. Once every seven days, he was ordered to fly.
The sword pierced his chest and side, and he was tortured until he converted to Buddhism..."
"If one realizes the truth, opens the dust, jumps out of the quicksand of the sea of nature, and has no worries, he will not be obsessed with the past. But now that the Jade Emperor has not appeared, perhaps this Sha Wujing has not only not given up, but has become even more stubborn.
Yu Huai!"
This was the only flaw, but it was enough. Xiaoqian came to her senses: "We really can't believe his words, so what should we do?"
"By the way, since there are three thousand great aspirations in the world, why not visit other gods and Buddhas?"
"Sir, can you take us there?"
Facing Xiaoqian's respectful inquiry, Xiaogui didn't appreciate it and shook his head lazily.
Li Yan's attitude did not change. He touched its shell and said leisurely: "We want to go to other worlds, not because the little turtle has lost its power, but because of merit... You also rely on merit to travel through the fog and reach the south.
It’s in the waters of Zhanbuzhou, right?”
The little turtle became energetic and nodded repeatedly.
Seeing that Xiaoqian was puzzled, Li Yan explained: "The practice of Buddhism is to eliminate evil and practice good, to break the confusion and enlightenment, to accumulate merit and virtue, to spread the Dharma and benefit living beings. When you have sufficient blessings and wisdom, and the merits are complete, you can achieve the supreme Bodhi."
.”
"The Shen'ao family has made great achievements in the world. As the elder brother, it helped the Buddha to achieve this unique world of great aspirations. What helped it transcend the great aspirations was not divine power, but great merit."
"We can appear here safely, and the same is true."
Li Yan treated the Ten Palaces of Yama, while Xiao Qian released the souls of the Hundred Ghosts at Night, gaining great merit and being able to travel in this world with a clear mind.
The Nine-Headed Insect also has some merit protection, but in comparison, it is much less. He was almost addicted before. Once he marries the daughter of the Dragon King of the East China Sea and becomes the Nine-Headed Consort, he will completely integrate into this world of great ambitions.
Divide each other.
Xiaoqian was still frightened and distressed: "Then how can we continue to gain merit in this life?"
"Of course it falls on the devil of trouble..."
Li Yan took out the scalpel and said leisurely: "These demonic obstacles are originally germs of heaven and earth. We don't want to completely eliminate them. Instead, we have to go against the demonic nature and forcefully convert. How can we reach the other side in this way? Let's use our method to help the golden-bodied Arhat.
By gaining merit and protecting yourself, you can kill two birds with one stone!
