From the mouth of Monk Daoji, the old blind man and Chu Hanyang finally learned about the past of Demon Buddha Bo Xun.
That is a little-known history of Buddhism.
It is also a past that Buddhist monks of all generations in the Western Region have not dared to face.
Thousands of years ago, Mo Buddha Bo Xun was not Mo Buddha Bo Xun.
He is the most outstanding talented monk in Jinling Temple of Buddhism.
He has been deeply familiar with Buddhism since he was a child. At the age of eight, he escaped into Buddhism and became a monk, taking the name Benchen.
When Benchen was sixteen, he became the most dazzling presence among the young monks of Jinling Temple.
At the age of twenty, both in terms of cultivation and Buddhist teachings, he was no less than the monks of the older generation.
At the age of twenty-three.
He is expected to become the next abbot of Jinling Temple.
But according to the traditional rules of Jinling Temple, if you want to become the abbot, you need to complete three tests.
At that time, the elders of Jinling Temple discussed and gave Ben Chen three different tests.
Save a very evil person who does evil things.
To persuade a desperate man who has lost all hope.
And to cut off love and desire, get to know a woman, get along with her, but then completely forget about her.
Each of these three things is quite difficult.
However, the eminent monks of Jinling Temple believe that with this Buddhist practice, they will be able to accomplish these three things.
Ben Chen was ordered to go.
He first found the evil man who committed evil crimes, and learned that this man committed crimes including burning, killing, looting, and his hands were stained with countless blood.
Ben Chen first used Buddhist teachings to persuade him to be good, but it had no effect.
Hou Benchen used Buddhist illusions to allow this evil man to see everyone he had harmed in this life.
In the end, he felt deep regret and fear, and finally converted to Buddhism.
Later, Benchen found the desperate man who had given up all his thoughts. He spent ten years using Buddhism to help him get out of despair and join Buddhism. He even worshiped under Benchen and became his disciple.
Three things, two completed.
I'm going to finish the last thing.
He found a woman.
She is a very ordinary woman named Axiu.
Ben Chen met him as a passing visitor, but I don't know whether it was Ben Chen's intention or a coincidence.
After meeting several times, Benchen and Axiu fell in love with each other.
Year after year!
Benchen and Axiu have known each other for thirteen years, and gradually forgot the purpose of their trip.
Until there is one person.
Ben Chen suddenly had an epiphany.
He found that he no longer seemed to care about the position of abbot.
I am not willing to practice Buddhism at all.
Just seeing and getting along with Axiu every day is the most wonderful thing in the world.
The eminent monks of Jinling Temple have actually been paying attention to the test of this world.
Seeing that Benchen actually lost his Buddhist heart because of an ordinary woman, he even abandoned Jinling Temple.
The so-called eminent monks at Jinling Temple were all a little angry.
They have found Benchen several times, hoping that Benchen can return to his original intention, abandon his emotions and desires, and return to Jinling Temple.
But they were all rejected by Benchen.
I will no longer practice Buddhism in this world.
I just hope that I can accompany Axiu well and spend the short few decades in this world.
But Benchen didn't do what he wanted.
In order to make Ben Chen come back, Jinling Temple did something that no one expected.
The evil man who was transformed into Buddhism was awakened by the eminent monks of Jinling Temple to have his evil thoughts.
Let him kill Axiu and cut off all thoughts of this world!
An eminent monk is an eminent monk!
They didn't want their hands to be stained with blood, so they resorted to killing people with borrowed knives.
And this matter was also known by the disciple whom I accepted.
In order to repay Benchen for his persuasion, the disciple went to stop the evil man on his own, but was seriously injured by the evil man. Before he died, he crawled to Benchen and told him what the eminent monks of Jinling Temple had done.
.
after.
The evil man found Axiu and seriously injured Axiu in front of Ben Chen.
finally.
A Xiu died in Ben Chen's arms.
Before dying, Axiu gently touched Ben Chen's face, left a message of "see you in the next life, see you again in the next life", and then died forever.
I collapsed in despair.
He held Axiu's body and sat there for three days and three nights.
Why is this happening?
He murmured to himself.
The evil man he saved actually killed his own disciples and his most cherished Axiu.
Benchen took Axiu's body to Jinling Temple.
He knelt in front of the gate of Jinling Temple.
Ask for nothing else.
I only hope that the eminent monks of Jinling Temple can give him an explanation.
But the eminent monks stood in front of Benchen one by one, with expressionless faces and aloofness.
Even a bit smug.
It seems like it's all under their control.
In the eyes of these so-called eminent monks, this Chen came to apologize to them.
Just when these eminent monks wanted to give them a lesson.
Their heads were smashed by this dust.
Ben Chen held A Xiu's body and looked like a madman.
Hissing and roaring.
He broke all the Buddha statues in Jinling Temple.
Kill all the monks in the entire Jinling Temple.
The blood dyed all the broken Buddha statues red.
The whole Jinling Temple is full of blood.
This world turns into a demon with just one thought.
He wants to resurrect A Xiu.
Taking Axiu's rotting body with him, he went to the recently established Buddhist Kingdom.
The Lord Buddha, Xuance, and the four great Buddhas met this Chen, and pretended to tell him the method of resurrection, but secretly used the demon eggs of Tian Chi to control this Chen.
The result was, of course, no success.
Benchen escaped from the Buddhist kingdom, but the power of the Tianchi demon egg was refined by it.
After this battle.
I completely despaired of Buddhism.
And he has extremely strong feelings of resentment.
He took the name Bo Xun and the title Mo Buddha.
Bo Xun is the demon in the ancient Buddhist scriptures and is the biggest obstacle to the Buddha on his way to becoming a Buddha.
This Chen turned himself into the demon Buddha Bo Xun in order to become the enemy of Buddhism in the world.
His lifelong obsession is to destroy the Buddha.
Bo Xun's good and evil thoughts gathered together, and he refined Axiu's corpse into his own body.
From then on, Bo Xun had three faces.
In addition to his own good side, there is another side, that is Axiu.
Since A Xiu cannot regenerate, let him exist in his body forever.
Then there was the demon Buddha Bo Xun, who had three faces and six arms, and bloodbathed Buddhism in the Western Region.
What happened next was that the demon Buddha Bo Xun wanted to destroy the entire Buddhist sect in the Western Region.
Buddhism also sacrificed countless Buddhas and sealed the demon Buddha Bo Xun under the ruins of the original Jinling Temple.
"This is the origin of Mofo Bo Xun."
When Monk Daoji said this, he couldn't help but sigh, with a complicated look on his face.
The old blind man and Chu Hanyang also fell silent.
None of them expected that Mo Fo Bo Xun's past would be so tortuous.
The birth of the demon Buddha Bo Xun can even be said to be the fault of Buddhism.
It was Buddhism and Jinling Temple that single-handedly created this monster.
"Then what we are looking for is this, right?"
Chu Hanyang seemed to have thought of something and looked shocked.
Monk Daoji nodded.
"The evil body was suppressed by the Holy Son, and the good body is in the east. The body of Bo Xun in Beichuan should be Axiu from back then."
The old blind man's expression suddenly changed drastically.
"Wait a minute, doesn't that mean Axiu is not dead? Then that girl Liang Nianxiu"
