Chapter 460 A Taoist came down the mountain on a green ox!
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva explained all the changes and told it to the young Taoist who was spending the New Year's Eve with his teachers and brothers. He immediately clasped his hands together and said with a complicated expression: "The poor monk went to the Buddha's place first to see
After visiting the Bodhi Tree, he went to the Pure Glazed Buddha Land in the East and told fellow practitioners Riguang and Yueguang about all the affairs of Medicine Master Lazuli Light Tathagata."
"After I came out, I saw that everything had changed drastically."
He sighed with a complicated expression:
"Even this poor monk didn't expect that so many changes have taken place in the world in just a short period of time."
"Far bigger than the poor monk expected."
He saw the young Taoist in front of him look silent.
Immediately after the New Year, the young Taoist priest, who was seventeen years old, came to comfort him gently and said: "The little things add up to the big things. A saint will eventually become a big man. Such great changes cannot happen overnight. Just like
Before the heavy rain, contradictions and conflicts had been surging like undercurrents for a long time, such as the disaster in Jinzhou, the incident in Zhongzhou, and the military strategist Li Zhai's collision with the emperor."
"The demon tribe's rebellion broke through the borders of the human world, and even Pindao deposed the human emperor earlier, all in this process."
"Change after change will make all kinds of contradictions and conflicts in the entire human world more and more intense. However, they have been suppressed from the beginning to the end. However, simple suppression is just a means to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. After so many years of suppression, this huge
The conflict is finally about to break out..."
"Such an explosion will have different detonation methods."
"Only this time, it starts with a battle between Buddhism and Taoism."
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is speechless.
After a long time, he looked at the Taoist in front of him and said: "The poor monk heard vaguely that among the sixteen channels of Buddhism at this moment, there is a Buddha who has imitated the decrees of the gods in the heavens and wants to teach them to the emperors of the world. He wants to use human luck to
Using Buddhism as the basis to divide the gods as materials is part of the ritual of dividing the destiny of humanity."
"The poor monk informed the layman about this."
"That's it. Farewell."
Guanshiyin stood up and said goodbye.
The Taoist saw each other off and asked, "Where does the Bodhisattva want to go?"
The soft-faced Bodhisattva clasped his hands together and said, "The Buddhas are causing chaos to the common people with their Dharma, and it is the poor monks who should stop them."
The Taoist paused, but suddenly asked: "Why did you stop me?"
The Bodhisattva replied: "To cultivate the Buddha's Dharma, to realize the Buddha's Dharma, and to spread the Buddha's Dharma."
The Taoist asked again:
"What does the Bodhisattva want to stop?"
The Bodhisattva clasped his hands together and recited the Buddha's name with a gentle voice: "Stop the Buddha."
"The poor monk practices the Dharma, not the sect. What the sect practices is ultimately about power, not law."
"Can you stop it?"
"It probably can't be stopped."
Then the Taoist sighed and said gently: "Bodhisattva is compassionate."
The Bodhisattva asked the Taoist: "Do you want to go down the mountain?"
Qi Wuhuo looked at the wind and clouds surging below the mountain, but said: "It's not time for Pindao to go down the mountain yet."
"I'm a poor man who can't go down the mountain yet."
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva was surprised and immediately understood. He put his hands together in a slight salute and drifted away.
Whether it can be stopped or not is just the result, but the meaning of this matter is not determined by the result. Qi Wuhuo watched the Guanyin Bodhisattva go away. He stood on the top of the mountain, looking into the distance, flashing in his eyes
A trace of golden light can glimpse the cause and effect and qi. With a little calculation, you can know the flow of cause and effect at this moment, and the flow of qi is like a dragon.
If you go down the mountain at this moment, it is actually just like every time before. You can forcefully suppress these contradictions by yourself, but suppressing them will not solve them after all. It won't be long before such contradictions will completely break out. Young Taoist
Standing on the top of this mountain, it seems that I am about to take steps and walk down, but it seems that there is a general trend of heaven and earth, and there seems to be a gathering of boundless luck.
It makes the young Taoist unable to take a step forward or get out.
Only the mountain wind roared and the Taoist robes billowed and flowed. The three Taoist ancestors never appeared at this time. They never asked their disciples again, gave no advice, and never imposed their own ideas on their disciples. They just let it go.
He began to face the disaster that was coming towards him.
Watching the changes in the wind and clouds, the fortune is flowing like a dragon, entrenched in the capital.
The aristocratic families are all like dragon scales clinging to the top, they are the so-called ministers clinging to the dragon scales; according to the original direction of destiny, such a majestic opening, a step taken at the expense of the reputation of the previous emperor, must be magnificent and invincible.
He has the image of being an emperor for eternity, but at this moment, in the border area, there is also a fierce war, as if a tiger is rising, with its fangs and claws ready to devour a dragon.
All things and all phenomena have Yin and Yang.
Since a large number of people have benefited, more people have suffered losses. They live in pursuit of profit and die because of it. There are also many discerning people who know the harm of such behavior to their family and country, so they are indignant. Military leaders are angry because of it.
With the opportunity to move, the majestic destiny of the world naturally gathered under the soldiers' front.
At present, civil servants, aristocratic families, and monks gathered in the capital.
Military strategists and common people gathered around Li Zhai's army.
In an instant, the luck was divided into two groups. There was no confrontation between the two sides. The luck was already on the land of Jiuzhou. Dragons and tigers were fighting each other. Some people who watched the sky at night saw light flowing in the sky and could hear the sound of dragons.
The roar of tigers was heard all the time, and at this time, everyone knew why the military leader suddenly sent out troops to fight with the countries in the four directions. He fought thirteen battles in a row and won every battle.
One is to accumulate the spirit of being invincible.
The second is a warning.
A kind of [Tips].
Tell these short-sighted small countries around you not to think that you can make small moves after he leaves, otherwise, when he comes back, you will just sweep him away without any courtesy!
Therefore, this world-famous general left the border, and the situation at the border became more stable than before.
This elite group, which had experienced the battle against the monsters and the battle at the border, continued to move towards the capital with a sharpness that could not be imagined by the imperial guards and scholar-bureaucrats in the capital. All the cities along the way did not resist.
He did not dare to resist. Qiu did not commit any crime. He only burned all the big temples, smashed the Buddha statues that had cost a lot of manpower and material resources to carve and build, and ordered the monks to return to secular life. Those with guilty charges could not be exposed, just like the people in accordance with the law.
Example processing.
The remaining taxes were exempted, and the people's privileges of supporting temples were abolished.
Return the land to the people, return the fields to the people.
And those temples and monks who farm their own crops in the deep mountains and old forests will be commended.
However, if gold and silver were found in some temples, they would all be confiscated, and the property of the common people and believers would be plundered. Those who used it for their own luxury enjoyment would be beheaded. Those who dared to resist would be beheaded, and those who dared to protect them would be beheaded.
Three characters were cut in a row, and the blood and killing spirit soared to the sky.
The path this famous military general walked can be described as a murderous atmosphere, but he did not enter the city or invade the people. A sense of iron-blooded cleansing under order brought a huge and solemn sense of oppression. In this place where soldiers were stationed,
The hunted prey and the purchased grain were cooked together. The military leader who always liked luxury enjoyment now changed his character and only ate simple food.
He has studied and conquered every place in the world.
Under the firelight and moonlight, he looked through the maps and files. Although there were many famous generals in the world, none was more powerful than Li Zhai. The deputy general said: "General, if we continue, we will go to the capital in less than ten days. Your Majesty."
We will definitely not sit idly by and do nothing. A large number of troops and generals will definitely appear to intercept us. We..."
Li Zhai said: "They are not my opponents."
With bright eyes, he looked at the march map and stuffed the hard food into his mouth, which could be used to sharpen knives. It was as hard as a stone, but when soaked in the soup boiled with salt, it tasted great.
It will be much better.
The lieutenant general hesitated for a moment and said: "But, general, this will really mean you are secluded from your home and country."
"No, it was Li Hui who renounced his family and country."
Under the moonlight, Li Zhai's expression was calm, like a tiger before hunting. He said: "The world belongs to the people of the world, not to Li Hui. He uses the flesh and blood of the people in the world to support Buddhism. I'm afraid it's the same as mine."
Just like my father, I must have received some great benefits and deals from Buddhism."
"But to use the flesh and blood of the world as a ritual for one person is to be a thief."
"Aren't you and I just looking for thieves?"
Li Zhai smiled and said: "As the old saying goes, whoever steals the hook will be punished, and whoever steals the country will be punished by the princes."
"This time, I want to tell the world clearly."
"Thieves of the country."
"Also punished!"
"Even a thief of the country will be punished, but you, a rebellious traitor, may not survive that time!" Suddenly there was a loud laugh, and soon there was the sound of a solemn Buddha trumpet, and in the dark night, in the endless sky, a huge golden palm print came from
The sky rose up and fell towards this place. Li Zhai drew his sword, his eyebrows were raised like a blade, and he said coldly: "I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
"Draw out the knife!!"
Since the emperor has joined forces with Buddhism, Li Zhai's actions will naturally become a thorn in the emperor's flesh and an eyesore. The army cannot be easily moved. Once the imperial army faces a head-on confrontation and is defeated by Li Zhai, his reputation will naturally be greatly damaged. At this time
The best choice is to send Buddhist masters to pick Li Zhai off.
For a moment, the Buddha's light was so powerful that it shone in all directions. The sword in Li Zhai's palm was filled with majestic evil energy. It joined with the military formations and slashed horizontally with the sword, smashing the Buddhist handprint into pieces. Then it continued to move straight towards the monk's head.
He slashed down, but several more Buddha's lights flashed past the monk, using himself as a bait to induce Li Zhai to make a move, and then took the opportunity to break his luck.
Li Zhai holds a knife in his right hand and a sword in his left hand, also deliberately setting up a trap.
But at this moment, a bright sword light suddenly reappeared, and it swept through these Buddha lights in an instant, and then heard the sound of screams, and the figures fell one after another, and the sword was bright and flowing, and Li Zhai had thick eyebrows.
He raised his head and said, "Who is it?"
But when I saw the sword light was sharp, hovering in the sky and finally falling, there was a man who chanted in a long voice and said:
"The big brows are full of evil spirits, and they leap into the air thousands of miles away."
"The three-foot sword in the box on the back represents heaven and shows injustice to man."
Li Zhai, who was wearing armor, raised his eyes and saw the person who came. He was a Taoist with a very handsome appearance. The latter held his hand and said gently: "The poor Taoist Lu Dongbin knows that all the Buddhas will definitely take action against the general, so he came to help."
"Lu Dongbin?"
The sword that Li Zhai was holding slowly returned to its sheath. He looked up at the disappearing Buddha's light and ordered the troops to be in order. Then he invited Lu Dongbin to sit down with him. Lu Dongbin took off the wine bottle from his waist, shook it, and handed it to Li Zhai.
When Zhai Zhi was raised by the latter, Lu Dongbin raised his hand to refuse. Lu Dongbin didn't care. He just raised his neck and drank. He was wearing a clean Taoist robe. He placed the sword in his hand horizontally in front of him, patted the sword and said:
"The general's edge has reached its peak, but it is too strong and easily broken. Does the general think that he can defeat a country with one army?"
Use one army to check and balance a country.
Even an outstanding commander like Li Zhai can only maintain his advantage for a while at most. Over time, he will gradually fall into a disadvantage and eventually be destroyed. Even if he can win in the end, his troops will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.
, the edge of the sword fell on Pao Ze, turning Qing Jun's side and eliminating the demon Buddha into a civil war with absolutely no winner.
Li Zhai narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "If the Taoist priest has anything to say, you might as well say it directly."
Lu Dongbin picked up a branch next to him and stabbed it into the ground easily, outlining two different curves, and said: "The general trend of the world today lies in the capital and the generals. The generals are the people's hope, and winning people's hearts only depends on their actions.
Everything is cruel and violent, and ultimately it is detrimental to the harmony of heaven, and I have not received all my luck."
"Today, luck is divided into two parts. One is with the general, and the other is with the emperor. The two sides have become like fire and water. The advantage of the emperor is Buddhism. In the future, he will use Buddhism as his strength to attack the general. At this moment, the general has two
The path, on the one hand, is to use the general momentum of the army to slowly force each other, and the generals have a greater chance of victory, but there may be many killings and casualties, and hurt the people; the other is, the human emperor will inevitably propose to fight with luck, and use human Buddhism to harmonize
Tao and law fight against each other."
"Then the general does not have the advantage."
Li Zhai said: "What do you think, Taoist Priest?"
Lu Dongbin sighed: "No matter what, it is a victory or defeat, a fight."
"It's just that one requires the lives of countless soldiers and people to fight for, and the other requires the general's luck and the theory of various ways."
"I don't know what level of Buddhism is standing behind the emperor. If it's a Bodhisattva, I can fight with him. If it's a Buddha, I'm no match for him."
He paused, looked at Li Zhai, and asked casually: "General, do you want to be called the emperor?"
Li Zhai looked at the burning fire and said nothing.
From that day on, Lu Dongbin began to protect Li Zhai.
On that mountain, the young Taoist looked at the destiny at the foot of the mountain and saw that the destiny of dragons and tigers seemed to have swept through all living things. Among them, the dragon had the light of Buddha, and the tiger had the soul of Tao. After all, the struggle between human destiny and destiny was getting bigger and bigger.
Buddhism and Taoism are also inevitable. In other words, Buddhism and Taoism have developed in the world for such a long time and have long been entangled with the fate of human beings and are inseparable.
Titing held her chin with both hands, watching the storm surging below the mountain, and asked: "Such a big anger, dear, how many people will die if it breaks out."
He sighed and said: "Hey, calf nose."
"Are you going down the mountain?"
The Sanqing Taoist Patriarch behind him has not appeared for a long time. In the courtyard of the three wooden houses, some dust has gradually accumulated, and white snow has accumulated. The snow is covered with dust, and above the dust there are dry plum blossoms falling. The Taoist is standing on the mountain.
Looking down the mountain, standing quietly.
So Di Ting just sighed.
And a few days later, the emperor really announced to the world that he was going to attack Li Zhai, attacking him as a military thief and a Taoist thief. Li Zhai was still silent and madly destroying temples and destroying Buddhas. This world's anger
Luck is gradually going crazy, but under the accumulation of these events, it gradually divides and faintly turns into two majestic energies, one is Buddha and the other is Tao, competing with each other.
The aristocratic families are attached to the Buddha, the military strategists and the common people are attached to the Tao.
Like the rotation of yin and yang.
As vast as all things are!
They fought and collided with each other. Later historians reviewed this battle countless times and found that this was the best opportunity for this mighty king to ascend to the highest stage of history. At this time, there were enemies and subordinates, which was the general trend.
, is what the people want, and the unrivaled military front is driven by the highest level of justice to protect the country and the people, and even the soldiers and people in the city surrender.
Carrying such a general trend and moving forward like a torrent, we will eventually reach the highest peak in history.
However, this mighty king who is famous all over the world restrained the domineering soldiers and did not choose to conquer the Nine Provinces with his iron cavalry. Instead, he chose to have direct negotiations with the Human Emperor. Some people regretted it and thought that this would change the future progress of the human race.
At one point, countless careerists lamented the stupid decision of this famous general;
However, some people believe that the goal of military strategists is not to fight for the world, but to protect the country and the people.
The most outstanding military strategists all pursue victory without fighting and maintain the vitality of the country. King Weiwu is not a careerist like his father and brother. He is one of the top ten military strategists since ancient times. The reason why he is not the top three is because
It's because he is unwilling to use the blood of common people to forge his own glory and victory.
What he seeks is great victory in the human world.
"Once a hero draws his sword, another ten years of calamity will befall the common people."
"Rather than be like this, just stop being a hero."
After three days of negotiations, three people from each side of Buddhism and Taoism came to discuss the Dharma and Tao.
In addition, the fate of Li Zhai and Li Hui was fighting to determine the outcome, so as to avoid too many casualties. The two monarchs pressed their swords and sat opposite each other. The luck of the world, Buddhism and Taoism
His destiny is like a dragon soaring into the sky, moving the sky with its long chant, enveloping the common people, and also enveloping the thousand-year incense of Buddhism and Taoism, which began to collide with each other in a special way.
"Your Majesty will definitely win this argument."
The old monk clasped his hands and said to the emperor: "The strongest among them is Lu Dongbin, and under your Majesty's command, there should be sixteen great Bodhisattvas from the lineage of all Buddhas, just like sixteen true kings.
How can a mere Earth Immortal be our opponent?"
Li Hui pressed his sword and said: "But it has been agreed that Buddhism and Taoism in the human world will fight."
"Aren't you breaking the rules by coming here?"
The old monk stared at the emperor.
Look at the struggle on his face.
I was sighing in my heart.
What a hypocritical emperor!
He obviously knew everything, and he obviously hoped to defeat the Taoist sect with the help of these sixteen great Bodhisattvas. Even though he violated the agreement, he insisted on doing so, but he still wanted others to persuade him to do so.
It is as if this decision was made under the bewitchment of the Buddhas.
Then, with a little bit of prevarication, he just went with the flow, so that he could deceive his conscience and get a good night's sleep.
The monk said gently: "This is for the sake of the world. The people will be grateful to Your Majesty."
"It is for the Lord of the world that you accept the filth of your country. You bear the sin for them."
"This is also a great merit."
Li Hui pressed his sword and closed his eyes. He didn't know whether it was true or false, and sighed: "Is our family destined to fight each other?"
"Then, leave it to the Buddhas."
On that day, Lu Chunyang, who was once the peak true king but fell to the level of earthly immortal due to love disaster, finally took the biggest and last step in his journey in the mortal world. Before this day, there were already two messengers, one
One came from King Qin, the other came from Li Zhai, and ran towards a mountain range.
They met on the way and knew that their purposes were one.
Apart from Lu Chunyang, there is still another true cultivator in the human world.
They knew the urgency of the matter and refused to relax in the slightest. Three beasts mixed with dragon blood were exhausted along the way. In three days, they ran 70,000 miles to the foot of the mountain, questioned the people, and then moved step by step towards
As they walked up the mountain, their bodies were already shaking. Di Ting looked at them, sighed and said:
"Don't come..."
"He wouldn't go down the mountain if he didn't want to."
The messenger looked excited: "But, this matter concerns the people of the world..."
"But if it concerns the whole world, he may not be able to move it."
The two messengers were excitedly describing the seriousness of the matter to He Di, while the people at the foot of the mountain happily passed the Lantern Festival and prepared for the new year. The two sides were clearly in the same world, but in two different worlds.
The Taoist who stood on the mountain and observed the destiny of the world finally saw that node.
When conflicts are at their highest and most intense, they have already broken out but have not affected the common people.
An opportunity to instantly cut away all the contradictions that were previously oppressive.
Like a flower that has not bloomed yet, like a stone falling into the water but the waves have not yet risen.
He took a step forward.
One step in the air.
So the sea of clouds on the mountain rolled and rolled in an instant, and suddenly pushed away in all directions. The two messengers were shocked in their hearts, and they subconsciously fell to the ground, dizzy. When they listened, they subconsciously raised their heads and saw the man walking in the sky, his sleeves on his sleeves.
The robe is rolled up, and the sea of clouds escapes on both sides, which is magnificent and beautiful.
When he saw Old Qingniu, he suddenly let out a long sigh, cheered up, and stepped forward.
It turned into a green bull, with its feet stepping on the clouds and its body wrapped in flowing light.
One step and one thunder.
One step at a time.
This is!!!
Di Ting's eyes narrowed and he was speechless for a moment.
Qingniu is Daozu's mount, so whoever is qualified to ride it...
Di Ting suddenly sat back on the ground, his scalp numb, and blurted out:
"Qi Wuhuo!!!"
"who are you?!"
Who will it be again?!
This was an ordinary day, but it was also a history that later generations of historians wrote about in full detail.
At this time, the people at the foot of the mountain are immersed in the afterglow of the New Year and looking forward to the future. The farmers are eager for the harvest, and the children are thinking about growing taller;
An explosion broke out at the node, and Lu Chunyang calmed down and prepared to face his enemy; the great Bodhisattvas of the 16th lineage of Buddhism gathered together and mixed into the crowd discussing the Dharma.
