"I would like to ask the little master, is Tathagata still alive?"
Ye Fan stared at the little nun with a very solemn expression.
The pretty little nun looked slightly flustered and hid behind her brother, tilting her head and blinking at him.
As soon as the word "Tathagata" came out of his mouth, the prince of Zhongzhou Daxia became even more ugly and said in a deep voice:
"I do not know what you're talking about!"
The word "Tathagata" seemed to have a strange demonic power. Not only did the prince of Daxia change his expression, but the Holy Son of Yaoguang not far away also changed his expression suddenly and walked towards this side.
He is as bright as the blazing sun, with golden brilliance flowing on his body, like an immortal king approaching the dust. Even standing in the vast sea of people, you can tell that he is different.
Ye Fan clearly sensed the changes in their expressions and was surprised. Could it be that the word "Tathagata" has some kind of magic power?
Yao Xi also came over. She didn't know what Tathagata meant, but she noticed something was different. She was like the morning sun rising, like the bright moon shining brightly, and walking in lotus steps.
At the same time, Ye Fan felt a series of eyes looking at him. The Saint of Yaochi, Ji Haoyue and others had obviously heard of Tathagata's name.
"Seeing the reality, all dharmas are empty, and suddenly realizing that all dharmas are the same. Once the scenery cannot hide it, we meet naked face to face."
Ye Fan said a Buddhist verse, looked at the pretty little nun, and said:
"May I ask if Sakyamuni is still here?"
The little nun, dressed in white as the snow, looked as ethereal as a fairy. She opened her mouth to say something, but finally closed it again.
The prince of Daxia in Zhongzhou was like a mountain at this moment, with dragon-shaped air pillars emitting from the outside, and his divine clothes blooming with brilliance, like a great emperor coming to the world, with incomparable power. He stared at Ye Fan coldly and said:
"I only know Buddhism and have never heard of this name, so don't ask us!"
Is Sakyamuni a taboo? Ye Fan had such an illusion.
"I suddenly fell asleep, the source of wonderful mind, the shell of ignorance is always cracked, there are six interesting things in the dream, but after waking up, there is nothing holy." Ye Fan tested the little nun with a Buddhist verse, and finally asked in a deep voice:
"Where is the Buddha?"
"There is Mount Sumeru in the Western Desert. If you want to know, you can go and look for it."
The prince of Daxia said coldly.
When Ye Fan heard the words Mount Sumeru, his heart was shocked. Is it really the dojo of Sakyamuni?
"I want to hear you talk about Tathagata and Sakyamuni in detail." The Holy Son of Yaoguang spoke to Ye Fan, with a bright smile, like the spring breeze or the morning glow.
Ye Fan was shocked in his heart and felt that there was something wrong with Buddhism in this world, otherwise why would these saints and saints be like this?
Shang Yi raised his eyebrows slightly. He understood that Ye Fan also cared about the Buddha, not only because Sakyamuni came from the Earth Star, but also because of the mysterious monk "One Page Book" who once came to Beidou with them.
The one-page book at that time relied on the cultivation of the peak Taoist palace to display the "Tathagata Divine Palm" on Mars, inducing the power of Sakyamuni to suppress a demon saint in the Buddha's kingdom in his palm.
That level of attack put even the holy monk Rama at that time to shame; in addition, the attitude of holy monk Rama at that time towards the one-page book was obviously not like treating a junior, as if he were on a pilgrimage to meet the Buddha.
Ye Fan does not doubt whether the "one-page book" has any connection with Sakyamuni.
Not only Ye Fan, Zhou Yi, and Pang Bo also had some doubts. Even Pang Bo once maliciously doubted whether Yi Yi was the illegitimate son of Sakyamuni!
Daxia was an immortal ancient dynasty that flourished for hundreds of thousands of years.
The great mountains collapsed, the long rivers dried up, and the sea became a mulberry field. As time goes by, everything is changing.
However, Daxia remains as prosperous as before and remains unchanged. Ever since the great emperor created this immortal dynasty in ancient times, it has always stood firm.
No one can tell how many changes in ancient history it has recorded and how many secrets it contains.
What happened more than two thousand years ago? Did Sakyamuni come to this world? What was the story between him and the aboriginal people? Why did the prince of Daxia change his color?
If there is a hidden secret in this, people have to speculate. Many Holy Land families and the Great Emperor's inheritance may have some knowledge of what happened two thousand years ago.
Daxia must also understand all this. It is an immortal dynasty, and it should have recorded all the major events that happened in this world.
The Holy Son of Yaoguang suddenly looked at Shang Yi, with a gentle smile, sparkling teeth, and even his hair emitting golden light. He was very easy-going and asked:
"Master Shang knows so many secrets. How much do you know about the legendary Sakyamuni and Tathagata? Can you explain to us where Sakyamuni came from and what kind of existence he is?"
Shang Yi smiled and asked:
"The Holy Land of Shaking Light has been passed down for a long time. Has the record of events from two thousand years ago been lost? There must be some important figures from two thousand years ago in the Holy Land of Shaking Light now!~"
The eyes of the Holy Son of Fluctuating Light were deep, as if he could travel through the sky of history, looking into the eternal unknown, and said:
"This name has magical properties. More than two thousand years ago, it was like a time and space rift suddenly occurred. Everything about it no longer existed. I only know that it existed."
A peaceful smile appeared on the face of Holy Son Yaoguang. He turned to face the Prince of Daxia and said: "Your Highness has a dragon aura rising to the sky. He is the Dragon Son of Daxia. He must know about Tathagata. I don't know what happened more than two thousand years ago.
Why did everything about this person disappear out of thin air? It’s like he never appeared.”
"I don't know either. There are sages in Buddhism. If you want to know more, you can ask yourself." The prince of Daxia looked indifferent and said nothing.
Yaoyuekong said: "I have heard that Buddhism has all kinds of magical powers, which are all miraculous arts in the world, but I have never seen them before."
Ye Fan just wanted to ask the Buddhist side for information, and wanted to gossip about Sakyamuni, but neither the prince of Daxia nor the little nun discussed it in detail.
"What is the name of the present Buddha, the Buddha of the past, or the Tathagata Buddha?"
Zhou Yi asked. He was also very curious about the past of the legendary Sakyamuni. He wanted to know what happened in Beidou back then?
"Buddha is the World Honored One and has no other name." said the little nun in white.
"What kind of Buddha is Sakyamuni?" Ye Fan asked casually.
The little nun in white's red face suddenly froze, her big bright eyes stared at the ground in front of her, and she said no more.
The prince of Daxia looked solemn and sighed: "Oh, let's not mention this name. It is a taboo in the Western Desert. I also want to know what exactly happened. I have read through ancient books, but I can only draw a conclusion in one sentence.
——From now on, there will be no Tathagata in Buddhism.”
"Why do you say that?" Ye Fan asked in confusion.
"It seems... the Buddha has passed away." After saying this, the prince of Daxia slowly shook his head.
But there are still some people who are unwilling to give up and want the Prince of Daxia to tell more.
"They said he was the World Honored One, but they said he wasn't. The traitor might be related to him, and they also said he was the devil's shell of the Buddha." Xia Yiming, the prince of Daxia, stopped and refused to say more.
Yao Yuekong said: "Your Highness, you have already said this, can't you be more specific?"
The Holy Son of Yaoguang looked at Shang Yi and said:
"Brother Shang looks calm. He seems to have known something for a long time. Why don't you explain it to us?"
Obviously he still wanted to explore the bottom of the commercial building from Shang Yi.
Shang Yi was not afraid and said with a smile:
"Actually, Fellow Daoist Xia is right, Sakyamuni is the body of the Buddha!"
A strange color flashed in the eyes of Holy Son Yaoguang, while Holy Son Dao Yi frowned and said:
"Buddha's body? Could it be that he was resurrected in the body of Amitabha? How is this possible?"
Then he looked at Shang Yi, but what everyone didn't expect was that Shang Yi actually nodded.
