Chapter 656: Back then you, back then I, back then Buddha
Qi Wuhuo did not wait for the return of Ming Xin. After waiting for a few days in the Lianyang Temple, in other words, he was not waiting deliberately. Everything happened naturally.
Tao Yun.
Yang Jian asked: "Where is the emperor going? Do you need Jian to escort you?"
Yang Jian has a calm and calm personality, and he knows that the strength of Emperor Zhenwu is unparalleled in the world.
The leader of the royal family who fought all the way up.
His growth trajectory can really wipe out all the demons with just one sentence.
The Antarctic Immortal Emperor is not willing to have a head-on conflict with the emperor, let alone those under his command?
Over the years, Yang Jian has tracked down and arrested various back-ends under the Antarctic Immortal Emperor. There are countless gods and demons who worship Immortality. Especially recently, he has discovered that the Immortality sects that have been almost completely suppressed in the human world have resurfaced.
.
At this moment, I am worried that the news that [Bodhisattva] is about to mature will come out and attract those evil spirits who do not know what is good or bad. It is not good if lust disturbs the mind and acts recklessly and blocks the road near the Buddha's land.
There is nothing wrong with seeking immortality, but it is worthy of death to risk everything for the sake of immortality and to support oneself with the common people.
It's okay for these monsters to die, but if they disturb the emperor's chariot, they will be blamed for their death.
What kind of things can these gods, demons and evildoers do for the sake of immortality?
Emperor Zhenwu looked at him and said in a calm tone: "Since we want to go together, why don't we walk a part of the way together."
There was joy in Yang Jian's eyes, and then he saluted and said, "Yes!"
Walking slowly all the way out of the snow-covered Zhongzhou City, it seemed that he was not in a hurry to go to the Buddhist Kingdom in the West. He was just walking casually. Yang Jian turned into a carriage and came out. The black-robed emperor sat in it, and the heroic young god general sat in it.
Next to the carriage, whips are swaying, and what I see as I move forward is that the world is extremely peaceful.
During these thousand years, the human world has been extremely prosperous, and with hundreds of schools of thought, the web of human destiny, with the human beings enshrined by the gods at the top, and the gods of the underworld at the bottom, the human world has been created into an extremely stable state, but if there is
When a demon flees, there will be soldiers and students forming a formation to kill them in a short time.
At present, the relationship between the human world and heaven is harmonious, but when the gods from heaven come down to earth, they have to report to heaven and inform the human world before they can transform into human beings and travel around in the world of mortals. Therefore, in this great world, although there are some minor
There were twists and turns, but there was unprecedented stability.
It's just that Yang Jian doesn't know why the world is so powerful and will become even more powerful in the future.
Why are the emperor's eyes so dark?
It seems that because of this kind of prosperity, will it cause any problems?
Is he the Antarctic Immortal Emperor?
As a divine general who participated in the thousand-year struggle between the north and the south, Yang Jian had a vague premonition that the contradiction between the two emperors was irreconcilable, and the battle between the great avenues was not far away from breaking out. However, the existence of the Antarctic Immortal Emperor would make Emperor Zhenwu like this
Do you value it?
Yang Jian has always had a quiet inner wisdom. Among the gods in the heaven, he was the leader, but he didn't ask. The carriage drove forward, faster and faster. When passing a lake, the emperor closed his eyes and said: "Stop."
Just give it a try."
The two strange beasts paused for a moment, and Yang Jian said: "Emperor?"
Emperor Zhenwu looked out of the car and said in a gentle tone: "But he is an old friend."
He got off the transformed carriage, followed closely by Yang Jian. With a sweep of his sleeves and robes, the carriage behind him instantly turned into Yuan Qi and dissipated into the void. There was originally thunder in the sky, but
When Emperor Zhenwu appeared, the thunder suddenly subsided.
Yang Jian saw two old monks yelling at each other in front of him.
These two monks are old and have low cultivation. They seem to be dying of old age, but they have great spirit. This one is scolding you as a stupid man, and the other one is shouting that you are a bald donkey and noisy.
He got up and seemed to be planning to take action. If the two old monks hadn't already reached the end of their lifespan, they might have started fighting on the spot.
Now we just yell at each other for a while, sit there breathing heavily, each unconvinced.
This one yelled and scolded: "Mortal saints are forgetful and full of emotions. I don't think you are a Buddhist practitioner, but more like a donkey and a horse!"
The other one replied: "Oh shit, I don't think you are a Buddhist practitioner, nor do you look like a donkey or horse, nor do you look like any sentient being in this world."
"If you look like someone who practices Buddhism, then you have the appearance, but what's the difference between you and a donkey?"
The two yelled at each other, and Yang Jian went to ask, but he learned that the two monks were from the same hometown, and they practiced Buddhism together. However, the two of them had not followed the same path at all, and they had quarreled since childhood.
Now that they are old and dying, each of them chooses a direction according to Buddhist teachings and decides where to bury his bones.
One took a copper coin as a token, and the other took a silver needle as a token.
But I never thought that the two people bumped into each other here again, so they started to argue and argue. In the past, they had all kinds of "grievances". At this moment, they asked Yang Jian for comment. Yang Jian took a closer look and used his magical power. At this moment,
They found the copper coins and tokens everywhere, but when they saw it, they were both speechless.
The copper coin is here, and the silver needle happens to be inserted through the hole in the middle of the copper coin.
Yang Jian said gently: "It seems that the Dharma of the two is about the same."
The two elderly monks saw the young man's magnanimity and thanked him first. Then they looked away and saw the man in black robes and jade crown over there. They were both a little shocked and asked: "Are you..., so..."
The magnanimity, could it be that some immortal saint is in front of you?"
The black-robed emperor had the joking heart of his youth and gently replied: "What is a saint?"
The two old monks looked at each other and both replied:
"Basic wisdom, purity, emptiness, and harmony without hindrance can lead to the supreme wonderland."
The emperor replied: "Since the fundamental wisdom is emptiness and silence, there is no saint in the first place."
"Isn't it?"
The two old monks were stunned and speechless when asked directly. They pondered for a long time. One of them suddenly put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "If so, who is this person in front of us?"
Another old monk shook his head and laughed: "I don't know, I don't know!"
The black-robed emperor smiled gently and said, "It's okay if you don't know me."
"You two have become more diligent in Dharma than before. The winter here is very cold, so it is not a place where you can stay for a long time."
"It's better to [go early]."
"Hahaha, thank you so much."
Emperor Zhenwu smiled gently, stood up and left. When the two monks saw his appearance, they no longer agreed to answer. They just looked at each other, each smiled and said: "We are going."
"He's going to die."
"To die is to go."
"Going doesn't mean dying."
"If you and I have an afterlife, we should argue and yell like this life. If you are a mouse, I will be a green snake. Old monk, I will eat you!"
"Ha, if you were a green snake, I would be an eagle and I would catch you and take you to heaven."
"I'll throw you on the stone with a slap!"
"If you are a goshawk, I will be a soaring dragon."
"You can be a dragon with your appearance, and I can be a holy monk."
"Hahahaha, if you become a holy monk, old monk, I will take off your cassock, burn your scriptures, drive you out of the mountain, and make you a bald ass!"
The two monks laughed at each other, but the laughter and scolding gradually became fainter, and the words they spoke did not sound like two Buddhist practitioners. The black-robed emperor saw his old friend and walked away, followed closely by Yang Jian, who turned around and said,
It seems that the friendship between the two people can be seen from the laughter and scolding of the two people, and the Buddha's light is faintly seen flowing in the void. There is Jialan Bodhisattva, accompanied by the four seasons meritorious service, and the light is dazzling, saying:
"Emperor, they are..."
Emperor Zhenwu did not look back, but said calmly: "They are two old friends."
"Old friend?"
"Well, one is the reincarnation of the Medicine Master Glazed Light Tathagata, and the other is the incarnation of the golden cicada in front of the Buddha."
Emperor Zhenwu said the name in an understatement that made Yang Jian feel sluggish. The young man turned around and looked at the monks who were still shouting and scolding each other in the distance, and said: "These two are still reincarnating.
?"
"It's not reincarnation, it's practice."
"How many times has this happened..."
"How many times? Who knows?"
Emperor Zhenwu said softly, bidding farewell to his old friend. The two monks behind him gradually stopped yelling at each other. One of them clasped his hands together, looked arrogant, and laughed loudly:
"Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and regard all things as stupid dogs."
"The saint is unkind and treats the common people as stupid dogs."
"It is not benevolent to use a stick, and the four saints and six mortals, the founders of the three generations of Buddhas, are treated as stupid dogs."
These three sentences had the flavor of Zen Buddhism, but they just fell into the void. Then he whispered: "The spring sun shines in front of me, and the frost and snow are destroyed behind the mausoleum."
"Cut the crane to continue the bird, break the balance and dissect the bucket."
"Exhausted with all my strength, I am stuck at the base of the wall, but my laughter breaks through other people's mouths."
Another old monk had a gentle look on his face, looking at the Bibo Pond in front of him, and said:
"When the bottom of the bucket is removed, the earth is vast and the green pond is clear where the life root is broken."
"It's good to use a little red furnace snow..."
"Scattered as a night light in the world."
Two monks struggling in the cycle of reincarnation, with Buddha mind and perseverance, and practicing in the confusion of reincarnation, looked at each other. Not every life can lead to enlightenment of Buddhism, and there are also times when they are confused. It is rare to meet like today, and suddenly they suddenly
Qi Qi clasped his hands together, the anger on his face disappeared, he was just calm, and replied:
"Where do you want to go, fellow practitioners?"
"The world is like the ocean, and I can't get out of it. Where can I come and go?"
"No going, no returning!"
After laughing several times, their breath was cut off, and the two Buddhist practitioners passed away again.
Waiting for the next spiritual awakening, I don’t know whether it will be several years, ten years, or hundreds of years later, or maybe I will never wake up again.
Without great fearlessness, this Dharma cannot be practiced; without great compassion, this Dharma cannot be practiced.
Yang Jian was shocked in his heart.
Emperor Zhenwu walked forward, Yang Jian was thoughtful, and realized that the emperor came here to meet his old friend.
Not just for the bodhi fruit.
However, the emperor was in such a state and acted so mysteriously that he could no longer understand everything. He simply put all these doubts behind his mind, and as the emperor moved forward, he summoned the chariot again to move forward.
Not a moment later, we were in front of the Buddhist Kingdom. The Buddha's light was flowing, and the spiritual mountain was pure. Even the now famous Qingyuan Miao Dao Zhenjun was solemn in his heart. This Buddhist Kingdom was a place with a high-level emperor realm.
In terms of power, Lord Buddha is at the level of the Five Elders.
When he came here in the past, there would always be an Arhat to take him in.
Today is different.
Yang Jian was about to pass on the command talisman.
But before he could pass on the spiritual talisman to enter, inside the Buddhist gate, there was a huge stream of light, and suddenly there was a loud and loud voice of chanting sutras. The Lingshan Buddhist Kingdom's barrier formation unexpectedly unfolded together, and then the Buddha's light in front changed, and there were Vajras and Arhats.
, the Bodhisattvas all clasped their hands together, stepped on lotus flowers, and lined up on both sides of the Lingshan Road with golden light.
The goddess scatters flowers, and golden lotuses bloom on the ground.
The dragon and elephant roared, and the Buddhist gods held lotus petals in their hands and scattered them. The golden light was magnificent, and the white rainbow circulated, reflecting hundreds of miles. The magnificence was astonishing.
Even Yang Jian's calm personality was shaken by such a formation, and he couldn't help but say:
"Emperor...don't you always dislike these things?"
The elegant and pure emperor, wearing a black robe and a jade crown, sat peacefully in the chariot and said calmly:
"I do not mind."
"But if I don't receive such courtesy."
"In a Buddhist country, one would feel uneasy in this way."
In a Buddhist country, one would feel uneasy because of this...
Yang Jian murmured these seven words in a low voice in his heart. He felt the turmoil of the past and felt a heavy weight. He couldn't help but feel a little excited. He looked at this Buddhist country, but he didn't know what he would do in the future.
, can we also get to this step?
While he was thinking in his mind, he saw in front of him a great emperor, one of the Five Elders in Heaven.
Lord Buddha Amitabha personally welcomed him down. On the left was the future Buddha Maitreya Bodhisattva. They all welcomed him down and said:
"I didn't know that Emperor Zhentian was coming here, but the poor monk missed his welcome. Please forgive me, Emperor."
The other Bodhisattvas, dragons, elephants, and Vajras all bowed in unison.
But inside the Buddhist kingdom where the Buddha's light circulates, it is still pure and peaceful.
Under that Bodhi tree, Taoist Ran Deng opened his eyes.
He raised his eyes to look at the shining, mature Bodhi fruit, and said softly:
