Chapter 1,310 The boat of salvation that does not save sentient beings
"I want to eat a lot of meat! I want to eat a whole city's worth of meat! Don't even think about it anymore... Amitabha! Good, good, good!"
When the cassocks were put back on the monsters whose ferocious nature was revealed, the ferocious words suddenly stopped, and the noisy Mahavira Palace became peaceful again.
But from the confrontation just now, not only Li Yan, but also all the spirits saw many problems.
The original structure of the Three Thousand Vision Realm was definitely not made by Lei Yin. It was at best a successor, or a thief.
Therefore, if the current state can be maintained, the fighting power up and down the Lingshan Mountain will be very terrifying, especially the Seven Treasures Tree grafting all realms and uniting the realms, but once the demons are tamed, it will be a powder keg that will explode at a moment's notice.
"It is indeed a conspiracy of gods and Buddhas. It seems to have the upper hand everywhere, but in fact it is a trap at every step!"
The spirits were very angry and sneered again and again: "Leiyin, do you still want to continue to live in a corner and be confused by gods and Buddhas?"
Lei Yin clasped his hands together, saluted and apologized: "The young monk is stupid, but fortunately you all can give me some advice, and a big disaster can be eliminated!"
From being a Buddha to being a little monk, he can be said to be both capable of bending and stretching.
Li Yan looked at the weapon spirit of the Great Leiyin Temple and formally asked: "You said before that you saw the Buddha's death with your own eyes, but in the Lingshan Mountain?"
The so-called annihilation means to eliminate worries and overcome the sea of suffering.
It was later called nirvana, and then derived from the death of a monk. In terms of degree, it is deeper than death. Not all eminent monks can be called nirvana.
And the Buddha's nirvana, in a sense, is really about annihilating all worries and passing through the sea of suffering. Not to mention Buddhist monks, even non-Buddhist monks cannot say that this person will definitely pass away.
But no matter what, Li Yan wanted to take a look at the so-called place of annihilation.
Lei Yin had just given in, obviously he didn't dare to hold on, but when he heard that he wanted to see the Buddha's last location, he still hesitated for a moment: "It is indeed in the Lingshan Mountain. The Holy Lord can go with me, but it is difficult for non-Buddhists to find it."
near……"
All the spirits were a little worried when they heard the words. Qixing and Zijin both sent messages: "Holy Lord, this thunderous sound has taught you ten percent of the hypocrisy of Buddhist monks. Be careful of fraud!"
"It doesn't matter, it can't be turned out of my palm."
Li Yan reassured: "Everyone, just wait here. Lei Yin and I will come back as soon as we go."
Not to mention that all the spirits were standing still in the main hall, staring at the demons who were eating fast and chanting Buddha's name again. Lei Yin led the way, and Li Yan followed, all the way to the back mountain.
When he got here, Li Yan had already noticed his destination: "The place you want to go to is the Sutra Pavilion?"
Lei Yin's tone was full of reminiscence: "That's exactly where it is!"
Li Yan passed the passage behind the ancestor's spirit, which connected the so-called New Territory, and vaguely heard that Xuanzang seemed to be studying the Tripitaka Sutra in the Lingshan Pavilion in the New Territory.
The Tripitaka Sutra there is complete, the first collection was passed down to the East, the two collections are still kept in Lingshan, and the old Tripitaka Sutra was lost...
Sure enough, when Li Yan and Lei Yin walked in, they saw that there was no auspicious glow, no auspicious clouds, and the entire Sutra Collection Pavilion was empty.
However, on the sutra cabinet and outside the treasure box, there is still a red label with the name of the sutra scroll written on it.
Li Yan looked around, and his eyes fell on the Sutra of Dimensional Consciousness. He raised his right arm and several volumes of sutras flew out of his sleeves.
Long before he became a heavenly master, he had entrusted Jinyiwei to collect the Tripitaka Sutras from various places in the Ming Dynasty, among which the Sutra of Dimensional Consciousness was the one he paid the most attention to.
The Tripitaka Sutra has a total of thirty-five volumes, totaling 15,144 volumes. The Sutra of Dimensional Consciousness occupies one volume, with only one hundred volumes, but its subtleties are beyond the scope of the number.
measure.
It is a pity that Li Yan has collected less than one hundred volumes of "Wei Shi Lun Jing", not even five complete volumes, and the content is also intermittent, so it can only be used as a reference.
Take it out now to verify its authenticity.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh——"
Sooner or later, when the scattered scriptures appeared in the treasure pavilion, the pages of scriptures suddenly became spiritual. They flew up one after another without any need to control, and automatically sank into the corresponding treasure box.
Lei Yin stared at the return of the scriptures with complicated eyes: "In the past, I, the Buddha Tathagata, passed away here, and the Tripitaka Sutra flew out of the treasure pavilion from here, turning into light and scattering everywhere. That scene is still unforgettable for the young monk..."
Li Yan looked at it: "Compared with the rejection and hostility of other clan spirits towards the original owner, when you talk about Tathagata Buddha, your tone reveals sincere admiration..."
Lei Yin's face changed slightly.
Without waiting for his refutation, Li Yan added: "The Tripitaka Sutra is the path to true cultivation, the door to righteousness, and a collection of the great achievements of Buddhism. It can be said to be the scroll of enlightenment for the Tathagata Buddha. When the scriptures fly out, it can indeed be regarded as an aspect of annihilation."
Evidence, but have you ever seen it with your own eyes?"
Lei Yin hurriedly explained: "The young monk is a spiritual tribe. Our tribe does not tolerate gods and Buddhas, and we will never cover up for the Buddha!"
"The young monk had some ignorant spiritual consciousness at that time. He only wanted to listen to the Buddha's teachings. How dare he approach rashly? He has never seen it with his own eyes..."
"However, the Buddhist Sutra Pavilion is also part of the little monk's body. The Buddha's aura suddenly weakened, then completely disappeared, and then the true sutras flew away, but it cannot be faked!"
Li Yan said: "Don't be nervous. I'm not accusing you of being a traitor to the Spiritual Clan, but it's inevitable that there will be deviations based on different likes and dislikes. What if the Buddha deliberately created the illusion of annihilation?"
Lei Yin didn't agree with it, and he didn't dare to stand up to it, so he whispered: "What's the point of doing that?"
"To open up new frontiers!"
Li Yan raised his head and looked through the dome of the treasure pavilion to the infinite distance: "The changes in the heaven and earth here have caused the gods and Buddhas to suffer three disasters and five declines. They will no longer be able to live as long as the heaven and earth. In order to find a way out, the Jade Emperor goes first
, and there is Laojun, and the Buddha will follow and open the world again."
"The Supreme Being is known as the ancestor who created the heaven and the earth. The Buddha also has the power to redefine the earth, water, fire, and wind. What's more, there is the Jade Emperor who has grown up over the years and enjoyed the infinite path!"
"From the current point of view, they may have succeeded, but they have not completely succeeded. The New World is still related to the old world, and it is difficult to completely put it aside, especially the sleeping gods and Buddhas and the awakening spirituality in the old world must be resolved..."
"How to solve the sleeping gods and Buddhas is not mentioned for the moment. In order to stabilize the spiritual clan, the Jade Emperor, and Laojun, Buddha forged the spirit of the ancestors. In fact, behind it is the entrance and exit of the New Territory. In this way, the distant
Monitor the old world and prevent us and other old people from escaping from the prison and interfering with the new world..."
Lei Yin listened, his expression kept changing, and he said in a harsh voice: "Is this really true?"
"It's just speculation at this point."
Li Yan's tone was calm, with a calmness that he had known for all eternity. Even if it was such a shocking event in the Three Realms, he was still focused on solving it: "So the whereabouts of Amitabha are very important, and your understanding of Tathagata Buddha will also be important."
Help us see through the truth and get to the core secret behind the Three Realms..."
Lei Yin recalled it more carefully this time, but after thinking about it again and again, he still frowned: "But this is all the little monk knows. I really don't know whether the Buddha really died back then!"
Li Yan asked: "When did that happen? Before the birth of the Great Vision Realm, or after?"
Lei Yin said: "Before the birth, the Buddhas did not make any announcement. The past, future and present Buddhas presided over it. They left Xiniuhezhou and crossed east to come here. In the name of Buddha, they made great wishes to cross the sea of suffering and reach the other shore..."
"At that time, the young monk's spiritual consciousness gradually grew stronger, and he gradually came into contact with the secrets up and down the Lingshan Mountain. Finally, while the gods and Buddhas fell asleep in the Great Wish Realm, he officially took control of the Lingshan Mountain..."
"However, it was possible to do it smoothly because the world of great aspirations of the Buddhas seemed to have encountered changes, and an endless mist was created that separated the two continents from the real world, allowing the young monk to have a chance..."
Li Yan had always had a question, and he happened to ask: "Dongsheng Shenzhou and Beiju Luzhou have become the realm of Hongyuan. Where are the original creatures in these two continents?"
Lei Yin obviously didn't care about people in the mortal world. He was slightly startled when he heard the words, and then replied: "It should be scattered in all realms, in a confused way, without distinguishing between true and false."
Li Yan frowned: "I have experienced the realm of great aspirations, where it is still the Ming Dynasty. The monarchs and ministers are dedicated to worshiping the Buddha, and their character remains the same. They are just projections for the present world, and it does not seem to have real living beings to accompany them..."
"What's more, even if all the creatures in the two continents are allocated to the Three Thousand Vision World, it is far from enough. Between half truth and half lies, I am afraid it will be even more difficult..."
"Unless there is a main domain, the living beings are real, and the other realms are reflected and projected, and the living beings are false!"
Lei Yin slowly shook his head: "There is no such realm. The Three Thousand Aspiration Realms are not prioritized. They are the worlds that the Buddhas wish for. If they have not reached the other shore, they will be no different from other gods."
Li Yan pondered for a moment, put aside the topic of living beings for the time being, and asked again: "Did Guanyin Bodhisattva and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva disappear before this, or did they disappear after this?"
Lei Yin said: "These two Bodhisattvas each have their own monasteries and do not practice in Lingshan. The monk cannot tell the order. However, after the Buddha passed away, Manjushri and Samantabhadra appeared in Lingshan, but these two Bodhisattvas never appeared again.
Never appeared..."
Li Yan continued to ask: "Where did those monsters come from?"
Lei Yin said: "Most of them are mounts of gods and Buddhas. They are wild and untamed. When they see the gods and Buddhas sleeping, they are ready to take action. They also call out the same kind of people in order to plan big things. But they don't know that the Buddhas have already planned to seize the opportunity to snare them. They will not go out to do evil...
…”
Li Yan nodded slightly. There were very few powerful monsters in the world. The ones left behind were only three or two big cats and kittens, but the source was like this.
This move is of great merit. Otherwise, if the gods and Buddhas no longer descend to the realm, leaving their mounts as monsters and demons, the human world would have been harmed long ago...
After figuring out the mounts of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas and demons, Li Yan turned around and looked at the location of the Mahavira Hall, looking at the shadow of the towering treasure tree extending to support the sky: "Did you plant this treasure tree?"
Lei Yin's spirit was slightly lifted, and his tone was filled with pride: "Yes, it is because of this Seven Treasures Tree that it has taken over the Three Thousand Great Wishes Realm. This place is truly under the jurisdiction of the little monk, and those monsters have finally corrected their evil ways and returned to their rightful ways!"
Although those monsters put on cassocks, they only put on invisible tight hoops. Compared with Wukong's tight hoop spell, it punishes them and does not completely restrict their freedom. The effect of this tight hoop is more terrifying, almost forcible.
Reversing the demon's thoughts and undergoing a semi-slavish conversion...
But from a consequential perspective, there is nothing wrong with correcting evil and returning to the right path.
Li Yan understood this feeling of pride. Of course he was extremely excited when his weapon spirit turned over and became a slave. However, he also had a key puzzlement: "With all due respect, with your own strength, it may be difficult to complete this task."
A wonderful tree of seven treasures, supporting the realm of three thousand aspirations..."
Lei Yin was not angry, he clasped his hands together and smiled slightly: "To be honest with the Holy Lord, the young monk did use a trick, and the thing he borrowed is also related to this place, it is the Tripitaka Sutra."
It stretched out its palm and flicked it gently, and the Seven Treasures Tree changed again, and the entire trunk became transparent. From a distance, it could be seen that there were pages of scriptures flipping inside, and the words inside were inscribed with pearls, shining brightly, supporting the great power of the outside world.
"I see!"
Li Yan thought of the Japanese Onmyoji who used the broken pages of the Tripitaka Sutra to make the magic weapon "Hundred Ghosts Night Journey". In comparison, it was really a waste of natural resources. Now this Seven Treasures Tree is the one who converted Buddhism.
The supernatural power and majesty were fully displayed: "But this "Tripitaka" is still incomplete, right?"
Lei Yin said: "The true scriptures were scattered all over the place, and the Buddhas retrieved three thousand volumes, which corresponded to the three thousand worlds. But perhaps it was because of this incompleteness that the Great Wish Realm failed, and the mist was born. So far, no Buddha's wish has reached the other side.
…”
Li Yan was silent for a moment and sighed: "I think it is successful."
Lei Yin was puzzled: "What does the Holy Lord mean by this? None of the gods and Buddhas trapped in the realm of great aspirations can escape. How can it be a success?"
Li Yan said: "If you regard it as a realm of great aspirations, it will indeed not succeed. But what if you regard it as a boat on the other side, crossing the sea of suffering? Especially when combined with the actions of Tathagata Buddha, who is opening up a new realm!"
Lei Yin suddenly froze and murmured, his tone rising rapidly: "Buddha did this deliberately and allowed three thousand gods and Buddhas to enter this domain, waiting for the heaven and earth to be reopened before crossing to the other side..."
"The other side is the New Territory? Isn't what the little monk did in the past hundreds of years a guarding tool used by the Buddha?
"How could it be so! How could it be so!"
It has always been skeptical about the existence of Buddha, and does not believe in the old world and the new world, but once it is substituted into the Buddhist concept of the other side, it immediately understands it.
Grand aspirations are originally a big dream that cannot come true, but Buddha can turn dreams into reality by going to the other side and opening up a path.
And allowing Buddhism and the gods close to Buddhism to all join the great wish is to board a boat leading to the future. After waking up, it will be a matter of course to arrive in the New Territories and return to the seat of the Buddha!
If this is the case, what Lei Yin has done so far is a joke. He seems to be turning Buddhas and demons upside down, but in fact he is just a boatman who watches over the Buddhas and protects them from harm on the way...
Not to mention that this weapon spirit fell into self-doubt, Li Yan looked at the Three Thousand Vision Realm, his face also darkened.
This move may seem wonderful, but in fact, not all the gods and Buddhas who traveled east are qualified to be selected into the Three Thousand Vision Realm.
Basically, they are divided up by Buddhists, old Arhats, and occasionally gods who worship Buddha like King Tota and his son. As for existences like the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas, there are only a few who can be selected, let alone ordinary creatures...
No wonder Sha Monk would rather ferry across the endless sea shrouded in mist than enter this realm...
This ship of salvation passing through the New Territories does not save sentient beings, it only saves me, the Buddha!
