The old monk couldn't help his curiosity, but he didn't ask Xuan Bi in front of him. Yamazaki said that the secret could only be told to him when he passed away.
The old monk didn't ask any more questions and applied to the temple to stay. He guided Xuan Yan every day to study Buddhism and practice Buddhism.
Yamazaki left a paper crane talisman and went to Miss Gu Diao's mansion with the others.
…
In the blink of an eye, more than a year later, the old monk felt that he was about to pass away, so he activated the paper crane and asked Yamazaki again.
Yamazaki did not hide anything, he cast spells and set up formations to isolate the world and reverse the world so that others could not peek and eavesdrop. Then he honestly explained the cause and effect of Xuan Yan to the old monk.
"This child has a very special origin. Tracing back to his origin, he was a cicada on the Bodhi tree in front of Amitabha Buddha. He was influenced by Buddhism and gained immortality."
"More than a thousand years ago, the golden cicada was injured and transformed. Amitabha handed it over to Tathagata Buddha, who enlightened it into human form and accepted it as a disciple."
"This world is originally a world of Taoism, but Taoism talks about transcending the world and practicing inaction, which is not suitable for the human world."
"That's why Buddhism came into existence. Buddhism teaches the method of entering into the world and doing something useful."
"In this way, there is a tendency for Tao to retreat and Buddha to advance."
"I'm afraid this cause and effect began when the One in heaven preached to the world."
"In ancient times, the Emperor of Heaven ruled the heaven and earth with the laws of heaven and heaven. The ancestors on earth thought it was too harsh, too rigid and ruthless."
"The Emperor of Heaven killed too much, and the merits could not cover it, causing a catastrophe of cause and effect."
"The ancestors of the earth believed in heaven and earth, and they were led by shamans who believed in heaven and earth. They led the ancestors of the earth to fight against the unkindness of the emperor of heaven, forming an ancient battle between earth and heaven."
"During the war, the mountains in Buzhou fell, the sky collapsed, the Milky Way poured in, and all life was devastated."
"The Empress Nuwa patched up the sky, and the Empress Houtu transformed into the underworld to accommodate the evil spirits and ghosts all over the earth."
"The one in heaven who established the Heavenly Court, the Ding Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, held the heavens in place of the Heavenly Emperor, and governed the three realms of heaven, earth, and man."
"Emperor Fuxi's way of establishing people, invites you all to teach him together, so as not to cause another catastrophic disaster."
"The Taoist Taoist established human religion, which is also Taoism. One Qi transforms into three people. One enters heaven and becomes Taishang Laojun, and the other enters the human world and becomes Laozi."
"In the Yuan Dynasty, Taoism respected the teachings and attached great importance to etiquette."
"Tongtian Tao respects the Jiejiao teaching, and there is no distinction between teachings."
"Jie Yin and Zhunti jointly established Buddhism, made great vows to save all living beings, and transformed into Amitabha Buddha and Zhunti Buddha."
"Everything is in ruins waiting to be revived, and the way of heaven is turning."
"There are no distinctions in Jie Jiao, and disciples are all over the world, but they do not take morality as the guideline. Sins accumulate more and more, and even the merits of Taoist Master Tongtian cannot cover them up.
"Infinite sins, infinite cause and effect, King Shang, who coincidentally joined the disciples of Jiejiao, spoke rudely to Empress Nuwa, which triggered a war to confer gods."
"Tongtian Dao Zun originally wanted to go with heaven, but in the end he went against heaven. As a result, the entire Jiejiao sect was involved, and he was also banned from the Biyou Palace by the one above."
"Then I discovered that it doesn't matter whether he goes with heaven or goes against heaven. What he did against heaven was actually going with heaven."
"Because there is a shortage of people in Heaven, I selected Taoist disciples to fill the gap."
"Everyone is determined by cause and effect. If they turn into ashes, they have sinned too much and death is not a pity."
"Just as Taoism retreated and Buddhism advanced, some people turned to Buddhism and propped up the scene in the Buddhist world."
"The human world entered the great Zhou Dynasty supported by the interpretation of teachings. The Zhou people combined the teachings of interpretation and scriptures to summarize the way of governing a country and being a human being. After Laozi's guidance, they formed Confucianism and Taoism."
"But the Confucianism and Taoism at that time was more like Taoism than it is now."
"When the Great Zhou Dynasty is about to fall, Taoism will retreat again, and Buddhism will advance again."
"This is the day when Buddhism will flourish, but there will be gain only if there is sacrifice."
"Ten thousand Buddhas came into the world to educate and enlighten the world."
"Buddhism is so generous and prosperous for a reason."
"And Jin Chanzi should be one of them. After many years of reincarnation, he has continuously accumulated karma and merit, and now he has become the savior to save Buddhism from its lowest point."
"Buddhism guides people to do good, but it cannot stop people's greed for food and clothing. It can only persuade people in the next life."
"Years of accumulation of causes and effects have resulted in countless poor people in Xiniuhezhou, who have no food to eat and no clothing to cover their bodies. They live by chanting Buddha's name and waiting to die."
""It coincided with the birth of the demon Chi You, which triggered the cause and effect of Xiniu Hezhou, and brought Xiniu Hezhou, which had been stable for many years, into troubled times."
"Jin Chanzi reincarnated and went west to Lingshan to eliminate the disaster in Hezhou, Xiniu."
"This is not the first time. If it doesn't work this time, there will be a next time."
"I have a cause and effect with him, so I plan to protect him when he goes to Lingshan, and earn some merit along the way. Others have a cause and effect with me, so I pulled them all in."
"Whether it goes with heaven or against heaven, that's what I thought, so I did it."
"The antecedents are generally like this. I don't know the consequences as well. This situation is too vast and far-reaching."
Yamazaki's words took the old monk a long time to digest.
The old monk put his hands together and said, "Thank you so much, donor, for telling me that this poor monk is leaving. See you soon."
"Goodbye, by fate." Yamazaki returned the greeting with a cupped hand.
"Amitabha!" The old monk passed away contentedly.
…
Xuan Yan buried the old monk in the pagoda forest of Farewell Buddhist Temple, and then guarded the tomb for seventy-seven forty-nine days before setting off on his journey.
Yamazaki and others also came over and followed.
At this time, although Dongsheng Shenzhou was full of flags, there were frequent exchanges with each other and they seemed to be in a happy mood.
The number of tribes and states in Beiju Luzhou has decreased, and they have merged from small countries into large ones, or from small alliances to large alliances.
Monsters, humans, demons, ghosts, spirits, and monsters cannot be said to live in harmony, but they live in a mixed environment, each with friends of their own race and enemies of their own race.
There are more monsters than people in Buzhou Mountain City. Although there are frictions, there is no ethnic hatred. It is still hard to say what will happen in the future. The cause and effect is still early.
…
After twenty-seven years of imperial influence, Emperor Li of Nanfangbuzhou also transformed from a wise and powerful person to an incompetent one.
The cause and effect of meddling in politics in the backyard is an old problem of the Li family - fighting for position!
There are ancestors who have set an example there. It is useless for the emperor to appoint his eldest son as the prince. Brothers are eyeing him and relatives are defeated by the throne.
The tragedy of the emperor's family is getting worse and worse.
The three princes, including the prince, were demoted to common people and were subsequently murdered inexplicably.
It is estimated that the Li family will fall apart in just a few years.
…
However, in comparison, the most chaotic place is Xiniu Hezhou, where the tranquility of the Buddhist country is no longer the same.
The poor rise up and fight for various things, including the throne. Every time they do this, rivers of blood flow from natural killings.
If you don't kill the royal family, why don't you wait for them to take revenge?
However, the number of royals is large and the killings are endless. There will always be royals who can come back to take revenge, continue the killing, and settle the cause and effect.
…
The puppet carriage traveled thousands of miles a day for three months and walked out of the mountains in the north of the Nanjingguan area.
It will take nearly ten years to get to Buzhou Mountain, and it will be almost the same to get to Wuzhi Mountain in Xiniuhezhou.
Xuan Yan, who was nearly thirty years old, looked at Buzhou Mountain from a distance for a long time, and finally chose to go to Hezhou, Xiniu.
Because there are still more than 30 million miles waiting for him, which may take fifty years.
Then he had to go back to Nanfanbuzhou. He was worried that he wouldn't live that long. Anyway, he had been visiting Buzhou Mountain for so many years. Let's talk about it when the time comes.
