Chapter 1,317 The Eight Consciousnesses of Buddhism, the Golden Elixir Avenue, and Another Entry
"Master! Brother Monkey! We rescued the little white dragon!"
Bajie's loud voice came from afar. Wukong and Xuanzang put down the scriptures in their hands and looked at each other and smiled.
The former scripture-seeking team finally reunited after they went their separate ways after attaining enlightenment at the Great Leiyin Temple.
The little white dragon had just been released from the stone sculpture, and his breath was still very weak, but when he saw the familiar and kind eyes, he still ran over quickly: "Master! Senior Brother!"
In terms of status, he is not a true disciple of Xuanzang, nor is he a junior fellow disciple of Wukong Bajie Sha Monk. However, the four masters and disciples have already accepted him, so they are naturally excited to meet again now.
After a brief greeting, Xiao Bailong understood the situation of the Great Sumeru Mountain and couldn't help but admire the senior brother's ability. However, he still had some doubts about the confrontation with Tathagata Buddha: "Buddha really wanted to compete with the Jade Emperor for the authority of the Three Realms.
Bit? Is there some misunderstanding?"
Wukong smiled and said nothing.
Sha Monk sighed and said: "If you have something to give, you should wish all sentient beings to give up everything and have no love in your heart. Looking at the realm of great aspirations, you have lost the compassion to save all sentient beings. The Buddha is no longer the Buddha of the past..."
Wukong shrugged his shoulders, looked at Xiao Bailong and asked, "What's going on in the underworld?"
Xiao Bailong said: "I'm ashamed. Senior brother asked me to guard the gap between the two realms, but I was almost destroyed by the Ten Palaces of Yama. Fortunately, with the help of Tianshi Li, I got a turn for the better..."
Wukong became interested: "Oh? Tell me and listen!"
Xiao Bailong explained the causes and consequences in detail, especially the stability of the human world and the restoration of chaos in the underworld: "This Tianshi Li is undoubtedly the savior after the sudden change in the world. Without his step forward, the three worlds of the old world would have been in chaos.
What a look..."
Bajie laughed and said, "Otherwise Brother Monkey wouldn't have borrowed all the golden hoops. Now this guy wants to refine the entire spiritual mountain and force the Buddha to come back. He is so brave!"
"Hey! He is direct, as he should be!"
Wukong suddenly became excited, turned somersault, threw up the scripture in his hand, and returned to his former hozen appearance.
Xuanzang couldn't bear the treatment of the scriptures and hurriedly called out: "Wukong, what are you doing?"
Wukong stretched out his hand, held the scripture in his arms, and said with a smile: "Master, don't panic, this is a good thing. If everything goes well, we will be able to escape this disaster and return to the world."
Xiao Bailong was a little surprised. Even though he had great trust in the heavenly master, he felt that such a method might not harm the Buddha...
Bajie saw that the monkey had something else to say, and muttered: "Elder brother used to speak his mind directly, but now that he has practiced Buddhism, he has become so hesitant..."
"You idiot, what do you know? Now that I say it, you can't understand it. It only adds countless troubles!"
Wukong smiled and waved his hand, with a somewhat meaningful look in his wise and spiritual eyes: "This Heavenly Master is indeed special. I think it won't take long for everything to come to light. We'll just wait and see!"
…
Li Yan was hanging in the void, looking down.
After rescuing Little White Dragon over there, Master Xuanzang and his disciples were reunited, and it was better to show off here. With a flick of his sleeve, a layer of radiance rippled, covering the entire Lingshan Mountain.
The monks in the palace below suddenly felt the pressure coming from the sky. They didn't care at first, but soon realized something was wrong. They looked at the originally splendid glazed palace in horror, and a different kind of atmosphere filled the air.
Color.
"Wherever your mind goes, observe the Dharma as it really is and practice!"
Li Yan bluffed his fingers and started refining.
This is no bluff, he now has two major advantages.
First, this New Territory Lingshan is originally an "isolated island" wandering in the void. The structure of the surrounding world is very unstable. It is no better than the holy blessed land that was firmly located in the human world during the Xiniu Hezhou period.
Secondly, the weapon spirit Leiyin took the lead and fell down, turning into a shadow that stretched over the palace, overlapping with this Buddhist holy land and merging into one.
Not only does Leiyin play a unique role here as the weapon spirit of the Great Leiyin Temple, but hundreds of spiritual lights also fly out of Li Yan's sleeves and spread.
The elites of this group of spiritual tribes turned into hidden nodes, and in an instant they laid out a grand divine forbidden area, which was exactly the spirit-fixing ring passed down by the Queen Mother.
After setting up this sacred forbidden area with half the effort, the refining was only half done. The group of monks headed by Anuo and Jiaye realized that the situation was serious, and they all showed their wrathful Vajra and Mingwang appearances, and tried their best to resist, but to no avail.
Because Li Yan not only arranged the divine ban, but also started chanting sutras.
"Knowing that the body originates from conditions, there is nothing to be attached to in the end..."
If you understand that this body is the product of causes and conditions, you will no longer have attachment and greed.
"Do not abide in the various forms, and forever break away from distinction..."
Don’t be hindered by all external appearances, and gain equality, righteousness and correct views.
As verses of verses were chanted from their mouths, the ripples of the divine ban spread throughout the four directions. The movements of these Arhat sages became slower and slower, and finally stopped in place. Deafening voices kept echoing in their minds, and understanding appeared in their eyes:
"It turns out I wasn't...really..."
When attachment and greed disappear, righteousness and right views arise, and falsehood naturally ceases to exist.
The figures of the Arhats suddenly became illusory, and instead, volumes of the Tripitaka Sutra fell to the ground. The pages were turning in the breeze, and a few Buddhist mantras flashed across them.
The entire Lingshan Mountain quickly became empty, and there was no longer any defense power.
Break through the barrier and surrender the defenders. If this continues, this holy land will really change hands...
"coming!"
But at this moment, Li Yan keenly felt that a thought was coming towards this direction from outside the traceless void.
"All the laws in the world are just illusions!"
Almost instantly, a distant voice came over.
It didn't come from his ears, but more like it sounded directly from his heart, causing Li Yan's hands to move subconsciously, and the refining brilliance suddenly dissipated.
"Well done!"
Li Yan was not surprised but happy.
He used the Buddha's voice to remove the false and retain the true, allowing the monks in Lingshan to restore their true appearance. However, this Buddha's voice reversed the false and the true, and his refining skills were instantly wiped out.
Although it is not yet completely certain whether the person who came here is the Tathagata Buddha, such a state is exactly the eighth consciousness he is pursuing, which can control all life data, with immeasurable magical powers and boundless magical power.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Yan has now laid an extremely solid foundation. What he wants is actually a confrontation with a higher level of existence. This kind of understanding, which is similar to teaching by words and deeds, has entered the third level.
The best help from eight senses.
So, he immediately sat upright in the void, calm and still, and responded: "All kinds of laws in the world are all illusions. If you can know this, your mind will not be moved..."
This is not overestimating one's capabilities.
When it comes to Buddhist attainments, there is no way he can be a match for the Buddha. However, even if we don't consider whether the current Tathagata's strength has been greatly reduced, his peak is no longer at his peak, and his magical powers in this life are also limited.
Just as Wukong was suppressed from Wuzhishan when he fell into the hands of Tathagata, and later the Golden-winged Dapeng was captured, he was also lured by flesh and blood.
Even the Tathagata, who is thousands of miles apart, cannot capture big monsters like Wukong and Dapeng. When it comes to long-distance competition, the magical use of the consciousness-only method has actually taken a considerable advantage.
So when Li Yan's mental technique spreads and the refining aura reappears just now, the progress will inevitably be interrupted or even regressed, but it will not be directly erased and all previous efforts will be wasted.
The sound of the Buddha resounded in the distance, and Li Yan's consciousness rose again. After a few back and forths, the refining progress of Lingshan became stable.
Progressing slowly, but still firmly.
"Time to show up!"
Not to mention Li Yan's serious attitude, even the spiritual tribes he spread throughout Lingshan became nervous.
The ancestor of a religion, one of the most powerful beings in the three realms, is about to appear as an enemy!
But what surprised them was that the person who appeared next was still not Buddha.
Instead, there were streaks of silvery light.
He saw countless silver light spots suddenly blooming in the void, pulling out silver threads from far to near.
"That is……"
"Meteorite?"
Li Yan's eyes narrowed.
The offensive that caught my eye was a swarm of meteorites.
These meteorites had strange shapes, and when they moved at extremely high speeds, they emitted golden-red flames all over their bodies, and they capsized towards the Lingshan Mountain at an extremely fast speed.
If the Sanskrit sound just mentioned was an illusory spiritual impact, this is a real material impact.
The key is that this is not a simple stone, but the product of incomplete efforts to open up the New Territories.
The earth, water, fire and wind are turbulent, pure and turbid, and the earth is broken and shapeless. Only then can there be such a group of meteorites wandering in the void, wreaking havoc on the heaven and earth, exterminating all living things.
Otherwise, in the complete Three Realms, unless there are meteors from outside the sky crossing Taixu, you will never be able to see this wonderful scene of the continent shaking, the sky and the earth being dark, and the world seems to have returned to Hongmeng.
"Is Tathagata planning to destroy Lingshan directly?"
Lei Yin was surprised at first, and then ecstatically said: "He must be extremely weak, so he doesn't dare to show up directly and stop us in this way!"
"Buddhism and Guizhou donkey skills are at a loss. Holy Lord, please let us go to battle!"
When the calls for orders continued, Li Yan nodded slightly, turned the aperture on his wrist, and threw an object out.
This is not gold thread, nor is it the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, but the Vajra Diamond!
The treasure in Laojun's hand showed great power and turned into a ring that enveloped the sky, covering the spiritual mountain and facing the meteorite group.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh——"
The meteorites flowed into the sea like mud, and when they were thrown in, King Kong's proud voice echoed, seemingly nonchalant: "How dare you try your best to master a small skill? I'm not afraid of more, sir!"
Having said that, it quickly realized that the meteorite rain was more than just a simple bombardment. It collided and tore with each other internally, and gathered and stirred up. The huge accumulated power was a huge threat that would eventually explode.
Although King Kong was arrogant, he did not dare to lose control at this critical moment and immediately conveyed the danger to Li Yan.
"All spirits work together to resolve it!"
So, under Li Yan's guidance, the Bagua Furnace, the Purple Gold and Red Gourd, the Jade Pure Vase and other spiritual clans came forward to wash away the meteorite with various precious auras and eliminate the threat.
The meteorite rain from the outside is still rushing over in a steady stream, and the decomposition pressure inside is getting heavier and heavier. The light of the spirits is shaking slightly, and it is no longer as light as before.
"Well done!"
But this is also a rare experience for Li Yan.
In his eyes, these meteorites were so integrated that they could not even be broken down by Buddhism's earth, water, fire and wind, but they could be associated with another path of spiritual practice.
Jindan Avenue!
Gold is strong and never breaks, while elixir is perfect, light and pure. The Hunyuan characteristics of this New Territory meteorite exactly correspond to the golden elixir realm that is indestructible and invulnerable to all evils.
When a practitioner has achieved success in the golden elixir, his essence, energy, spirit, and mind can be gathered in one place. They are round, smooth, imperceptible, and unfathomable. However, if he wants to be completely complete and untainted by the worldly world, he still lacks a unique way.
rhyme.
Now viewing the incoming creation meteorite has made a key improvement in the realm of golden elixir.
The meteorite rain is still endless, and the spirit tribe works together to resolve it, and the void is shaking endlessly, but Li Yan's realm is getting higher and higher, and it has become a little windy and wave-like.
Gradually, the meteorite disappeared like an illusion, and the Buddha's voice came back again: "Enter the Buddha's nature and reach the other shore!"
"Eliminate all suffering, transform all evils, the Dharma is compassionate, and save all sentient beings!"
Li Yan responded with the Buddha's voice, which was not as deafening as before, adding to the sense of grandeur and profoundness.
The two Buddhist voices no longer compete with each other, but begin to entangle with each other and unite in one place.
In the silence that was difficult for the Spiritual people to detect, a giant Buddha of infinite light and infinite life appeared, and the two sides looked at each other from a distance.
"Thank you Lord Buddha for your guidance!"
Li Yan put his hands together and saluted.
The sound of the Buddha just now helped him improve the consciousness-only method, and the rain of meteorites gave him a hard-won advance on the Golden Elixir Path. This was obviously not a coincidence, but intentional.
It is clear that Li Yan wants to refine Lingshan and force him to return, but the Buddha helps him instead. This may seem completely unreasonable, but it is the commonality and tacit understanding of Buddhism.
In front of the Ling clan, Li Yan proposed to refine the Ling Mountain and ambush the Tathagata. In fact, he used the cover of Buddhism to plant a message and incorporate his own salvation concept into it.
If the "ancestor" really exists and is the source of the changes in the world, then the old world and the new world should unite to end this chaos.
No matter what dangerous situation the Jade Emperor and Buddha are in, since he has come to this world, he is willing to help.
The basis for daring to convey this message is that Li Yan discovered through various previous experiences that Leiyin, as the weapon spirit of the Great Leiyin Temple, does not have Buddha nature, and it is difficult to get a deeper understanding of it, especially for other spirit races.
The only one who can find clues is the "ancestor".
However, Wukong is located in the Great Sumeru Mountain below Lingshan Mountain. He has many interactions with this place, but no trace of the "ancestor" has been found. It is unlikely that the other party will directly hide in Lingshan Mountain.
At this critical moment, there is no foolproof strategy. We have to take risks and see if the other party can understand and have an open and honest contact in front of the Spirit Clan.
Facts have proved that the Buddha appears and communicates with each other.
But even if the other party understood the meaning and provided direct help, Li Yan still wanted to verify the identity of the giant Buddha: "Please give me the evidence that you are the Tathagata Buddha in the Western Paradise World!"
After a moment of silence in the void, the outline of the Buddha suddenly disappeared, and a female Bodhisattva emerged. Holding a pure vase in her hand, leaning against a willow tree, she sighed leisurely: "Guanyin of the South China Sea, I have seen the donor. I, Buddha Tathagata, have already passed away!"
