Three hundred years later, Lin Heng left. He did not take his disciples with him because he himself could not estimate the future. Instead of giving them a future where they don't know where to go, it is better to let them go for it on their own. The quality of it depends on them.
Of course, just in case, Lin Heng also refined some treasures for them to help them fight against the enemy and protect themselves. However, Lin Heng himself was not sure of the specific effects.
In short, he has left his own fire here. Whether he can persist in it depends on God's will.
His second stop was Xiniu Hezhou. When he arrived here, Lin Heng naturally did not dare to preach randomly. After all, this was the territory of Buddhism. Immortals like them were very restricted here. The most important point was that the people here
Most people believe in Buddhism. If one of them is not good and is tricked by others, Lin Heng will definitely end up miserable. So he decided before coming here that in addition to working and practicing in Xiniu Hezhou, he wanted to see the customs here.
As for favors, don’t think about things like preaching.
Jialuo City, the place where Lin Heng supervises, is said to live here with a Jialuo Arhat, who has a very advanced Buddhist practice. Every three hundred years, he will talk about Buddhism in the Buddhist temple square in Jialuo City [***]
When Lin Heng came, it was the time for his new [***]. As a master, Lin Heng would not miss it, and he also found that except for Buddhist disciples, this place was not
There is no Taoism, and although the monks from other schools are not profound, the spiritual reactions they show are obviously not from Buddhism. These people don't care who [***] is, as long as he talks, they will do it themselves
listen.
Lin Heng estimated that most of these people should be casual cultivators. Casual cultivators all embarked on the road of cultivating immortals by accident. They each have their own inheritance, which may not be profound, but it also supports their progress. It is just some of the difficult things that no one understands.
They explain that they can only rely on themselves to understand. Nowadays, when they hear someone [***], these people naturally flock to him.
This is where Buddhism is stronger than Taoism.
Lin Heng has been to Dongsheng Shenzhou many times, and he has encountered Taoist [***] things. However, if he wants to go in and listen to lectures, he must have connections and reputations, like Lin Heng.
Newcomers or casual practitioners can't get in at all. They can only watch from a distance. Occasionally, they hear a few words, but they still don't understand what they mean. What about Buddhists? They are much more generous. Every time there is an Arhat,
[***], that is to open the door for convenience. As long as you arrive, you can listen, and other people will not care.
As the saying goes, sayings should not be passed on lightly. This saying does not seem to be very effective in Buddhism. Just like the Jiejiao back then, it accepted all comers. However, the two sages in the West are obviously smarter than Tongtian and have learned Tongtian's lessons. They will not
Take everyone under the sect, even if there are people who are willing to become disciples, these people will not be accepted, because no one can tell whether there is something wrong with the origins of these people, or whether there is great cause and effect on them, and the two sages of the West cannot always
Just stare.
Lin Heng inquired and found out that in the past, Buddhism did not reject all comers because they were not prosperous enough. But after Buddhism became prosperous, the number of Buddhist disciples changed. No longer could anyone worship Buddhism, but Buddhism
There are generally two sources of disciples. One is the disciples who have been enrolled in the temple since childhood. These disciples will be recorded in Buddhism. No matter how they are reincarnated, Buddhists will also find ways to bring them back into Buddhism and accumulate merit. This is it.
At a certain level, the method of cultivation will be taught to them, allowing them to make rapid progress. One type is the believers, fanatical believers, to put it bluntly, they are people from Xiniu Hezhou. There are many temples here, but not many people actually enter the temples.
Because everyone originally believed in Buddhism.
These two paths are the main sources of Buddhist disciples. As for the others, they are monsters captured by Buddhism and people who are forcibly converted. Such people are not willing to worship Buddhism, but are imprisoned. There are also those who
Those who want to find a supporter and join Buddhism. Generally speaking, these people will not give up Buddhism, but they will never become the core of Buddhism.
In fact, if you study the Buddhist sects carefully, you will find it very interesting.
When the two sages in the West rebelled against Taoism and became Buddhists, Buddhism was a sect, the only one. After the Conferring War, Buddhism learned from the lessons of interception and created the Third Generation Buddha Dharma, dividing Buddhism into three parts. To put it bluntly, it was still in one sect.
Among the sects, it was not until the great disciple of Jiejiao entered Buddhism and founded Hinayana Buddhism. At this time, Buddhism was actually divided into two.
This was created by Lao Tzu in order to divide the destiny of the West, but the two sages of the West were more powerful. They directly united Mahayana and Hinayana into one, causing the destiny of the West to increase again. The most important thing is that unified Buddhism does not really exist.
Unity is only superficial unity, but within it there are many sects. The core of Mahayana Buddhism has also been hidden, and this is the foundation of the two sages in the West.
Up to now, I am afraid no one can count how many sects there are in Buddhism. Guang Linheng only knows a few, such as Huanxi Sect, Maitreya Sect, Gyro Sect, etc., there are countless, and those temples are almost one temple after another.
The sect is beyond calculation.
The two sages of the West seemed to have dispersed the destiny of the West by doing this, but they were actually very smart, because even if some sects were destroyed, some sects would still exist. In this way, even if the destiny of the West declined, it would still retain its new destiny.
The opportunity to rise is not like Jiejiao, which was directly wiped out by the Four Saints. The Taoist sects that have many sects are just learning from Buddhism. Otherwise, they can just occupy a Kunlun Mountain. Why do they have to establish so many sects?
, one can completely regard those hills as branches, but in fact they are not.
Yuanshi Tianzun himself may also have this worry. Even Lao Tzu did not just establish Shushan. The inheritance of Taoism in the world also originated from Lao Tzu. To be honest, there are many sects that are not explanatory sects today, most of which are
They all have Lao Tzu’s thoughts, so they can be regarded as his inheritance.
Everyone is very smart, but this smartness makes Lin Heng a little dumbfounded. Saints like them really don't care about anything for their luck. They all say that saints represent God's will, but in fact, God's will is not the thoughts of saints, but sometimes,
God cannot control the saint. After all, the saint is not God. Unless God destroys the saint, is this possible?
Absolutely impossible. Therefore, there is a difference between saints and God's will. But what can all living beings say? They can't say or do anything because they are not strong enough.
If you want to compete with a saint, you must also be a saint, and you must be strong enough and smart enough, otherwise you will be like the sky and be plotted by others.
Closer to home - in Jialuo City, Lin Heng followed a group of monks to the Buddhist hall. There are thirty-six Buddha statues around here, representing the thirty-six protectors of Jialuo Han. At the front, there are three even larger Buddha statues. According to the
People here say that they are the three Buddhist avatars of Jialuohan, and they are also his three reincarnations. They are all people of great merit and great power.
Lin Heng carefully observed these three Buddha statues and was slightly surprised. Because these Buddha statues were not carved from stone or metal, but were real Buddha statues in the flesh. Thinking of what others had said, he couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that these three Buddha statues are really real?
Are these the first three incarnations of Jialuo?
This is not unreasonable. If a person is reincarnated and is a person of great merit, his body will also have the power of heaven and earth. Demons eat people and eat this. Jialuohan collected his three incarnations and offered them as sacrifices here. Except
To show one's own merit and power, I am afraid that I am relying on the faith of others to cultivate the three incarnations. Maybe it is also to prepare for the future golden body of relics.
Lin Heng received the inheritance of Ran Deng and understood many Buddhist cultivation methods. The most famous one in Buddhism is the golden body of relics. This is a very powerful magical power that can be cultivated with three relics. Why three? To kill
Three corpses. To kill the three corpses, you need innate spiritual treasures, but there are so many innate spiritual treasures in the West, and there are already countless innate spiritual treasures. Even if the West had them, they wouldn't be enough, so Buddhism came up with relics.
The body is used for beheading corpses.
According to the records of Ran Deng, the golden body of the relic also has an extended magical power, which is the Buddhist clone. What this Buddhist clone needs is the corpse of a living being. But for monsters and people, the best thing is oneself. How can ordinary people do this?
Having the self allows one to develop a clone. But the Buddhists have come up with a way, which is to collect their own reincarnated corpses and make them become their own clones. The method of worship is to rely on faith and merit.
This Buddhist avatar is extremely powerful, and the associated corpse can be combined into one, creating a true god with unpredictable power. Jia Luohan obviously wanted to practice this method by using himself as a clone for three lives.
Just when Lin Heng was thinking wildly, the Buddha's light surged between heaven and earth, and a huge Buddha statue came from the sky. He stood on Guangcheng, and there seemed to be a figure sitting inside, but it was blocked by the Buddha's light. Even Lin Heng saw it
Not sure. He knew that Arhat was the Buddhist Taiyi Golden Immortal. He was not capable enough, so he should not be able to see clearly. But Lin Heng looked down upon Jialuo for making such a big impression.
"Amitabha!" A Buddha's chant resounded through Jialuo City. In an instant, people in Guangcheng and outside the city fell silent. People who believed in Buddhism looked at the huge Buddha statue devoutly, bowed their heads and listened.
The Taoist also sat quietly aside, looking at the Buddha statue indifferently, his eyes pointed directly at the figure hidden in the Buddha statue. He seemed not to care about the actions of everyone, and after saying the Buddha's name, he began to talk about the Buddha's Dharma.
Although the magical powers of Buddhism and Taoism are different, they are similar. After all, they are in the same family, and they are still the same in essence. And if there are really completely different ones, I am afraid Buddhism would not be willing to talk about them.
In the crowd, Lin Heng listened to Jia Luo's words, and his heart was ready to move. He kept calculating what Jia Luo said in his mind, comparing it with his own practice one by one, and finding out where he was lacking.
I don’t know how long it took, but when I heard Jia Luohan’s voice, Lin Heng was immediately awakened. He raised his head and looked up at the sky. What was that?
Lin Heng was shocked and couldn't help but stand up. Many people around him also noticed something was wrong. They all stood up with horrified expressions and looked behind the Buddha statue. Behind the Buddha statue, there was a huge dark cloud that covered the sky and the sun.
Having blocked the Buddha's light behind the Buddha statue, Nagara didn't seem to notice it yet. He stopped speaking because he had finished speaking the Dharma, but everyone's eyes were strange. Nagara couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat and he looked back.
, this sight made him tremble with fear, what is this?
He was horrified, and the huge Buddha statue shone with dazzling Buddha light, fighting against the black clouds. However, the black clouds seemed to be too strong, and in the blink of an eye, they enveloped the Buddha statue.
"ah……"
There was a scream, and the Buddha's light faintly emerging from the black cloud disappeared. That voice was Jialuo's voice. Something happened to him and he died? This was an Arhat, and he died like this?
Almost all the people below didn't believe it. Lin Heng's eyes widened with a look of shock on his face. He noticed that when Jia Luo screamed, the three Buddha statues in front of the square actually made a cracking sound.
.When the golden light of the Buddha statue disappeared, the three Buddha statues were completely shattered. The corpse turned into fly ash and was blown away by the wind. There were only three milky white balls left there. Are they relics? (
