The Leiyin Pagoda fell silent instantly, everyone looked shocked, and the peaceful face of the Buddha on the high platform became gloomy and terrifying. After calculating with his hands, the Buddha suddenly stood up and walked towards the outside of the temple.
"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, after walking in the deep Prajnaparamita for a long time, saw that the five aggregates are all empty, and endured all hardships. Relic, color is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, color is emptiness, emptiness is color, and the same is true for feelings, thoughts, and consciousness. Relic
, all dharmas are empty, neither born nor destroyed, neither dirty nor pure, neither increasing nor decreasing. Therefore, there is no color in the sky..."
On the vast sea, an incredible large golden lotus platform is suspended on the water. On it sits a tall Buddha, who is preaching and preaching. Billions of lights are blooming all over his body. There are auspicious clouds in the sky, and goddesses are flying around, scattering rain from time to time.
Under the blossoming petals and lotus, countless Buddhist disciples sat cross-legged on the water with their eyes closed and listened. The strange thing is that the faces of these Buddhist disciples all showed expressions of pain, ferocity, despair, fear, etc.
Every time the Buddha recited a sutra, balls of fire flew out of his mouth and floated far away at extremely fast speeds. But the strange thing was that when the fires just rushed to the edge of the lotus platform where the Buddha was sitting, the water surface began to rise.
Bubbles popped up one after another, covering the fire and falling.
At the same time, the lotus platform also automatically produced petals, catching the firelight covered by the bubbles. Then the bubbles burst, and the firelight inside turned into a novice monk with a face very similar to the Buddha, sitting on the petals with his hands clasped.
Go up, close your eyes and chant sutras along with the majestic Buddha on the desk.
Suddenly the sea surface shook, and a piece of golden light flew from the sky. When it landed on the water, a monk with an evil look on his face appeared. He took a step forward and his body instantly became as tall as the Buddha on the lotus platform. He shouted in a bad tone: "The Great Sun Tathagata"
, you dare to plot against my ancient Buddhas in Lingjiu Mountain!"
This old monk was the Universal Light Tathagata who was in the Thunder Sound Pagoda before. As his voice fell, the auspicious clouds in the sky, the goddesses around him, and the Buddhas on the sea disappeared in an instant.
The Buddha on the lotus platform stopped preaching, and a red sun rose behind his head. He asked doubtfully: "Brother Puguang, where did he start with these words? I have never left this boundless sea of suffering, so how can I calculate the past Buddhas under Brother Puguang?
?”
"How dare you quibble!"
Universal Light Tathagata sneered and said: "The Great World Honored One predicted that my disciple Kayandang would achieve enlightenment after many kalpas in the southeastern state of China and be born as one of the fifty-three Buddhas in the Thunder Sound Pagoda. However, he did not ascend to the Buddha's throne just before he ascended to the Buddha's throne.
Someone plotted against you at the last moment, and your soul was destroyed. I calculated that the cause and effect was inevitably related to you!"
"Amitabha, what Senior Brother Puguang said makes sense."
The Buddha at Liantai Mountain recited the Buddha's name, nodded and said: "This poor monk has been sitting in the sea of suffering for thousands of years. He has been here every day to preach and preach to all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. In the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss opened by our Master Tathagata, up to the Buddha,
Bodhisattvas, Arhats, Vajras, the most noble ones, Dharma protectors, enlighteners, sons and grandsons of the Buddha, good men and women, as long as they have unclear visions in their hearts, they will come to this sea of suffering to understand the Dharma, and the poor monks are still the Immovable Ming King, serving as the basis for all Buddhas.
The teaching order wheel body is the main deity of the five Ming kings, ranking first.
According to this calculation, in this pure land, the cause and effect between Brother Puguang and the poor monk is greater than that of your disciple. If Brother Puguang suddenly passes away in Nirvana one day, will the Great World Honored One also want to question me?"
The Buddha stretched out his hand and patted the lotus pedestal under his seat, with a smile on his face, and said: "Besides, even if I plot against you the ancient Buddhas in Lingjiu Mountain, what can Senior Brother Puguang do to me? Is it possible that you still want to fight with the poor monk?
Have you ever done one? I really wish for it, but does senior brother have the ability to break this twelve-level golden lotus of merit under my body?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Universal Light Tathagata suddenly became furious. Just as he was about to speak, a skinny, barefooted monk with a yellow complexion suddenly appeared next to him. The old monk immediately became solemn and saluted seriously: "World Honored One!"
When the Buddha on the lotus platform saw the monk appear, he still sat upright with a look of ridicule on his face.
The skinny monk looked at the lotus platform and sighed: "How good! How good!"
The Buddha laughed when he heard these two words of 'good', leaned on his side, closed his eyes and asked, "Has the World Honored One also come to ask questions?"
The skinny monk shook his head slightly and said: "Supernatural power cannot defeat cause and effect. Jiayan's fate is bound to lead to such a calamity. What sin does Tathagata Maharashtra have?"
The Buddha opened his eyes and looked at the skinny monk. He chuckled and said, "The World Honored One has the best idea. The cause and effect of this disciple on the entire Pure Land is very deep. Maybe all the Buddhas in the ten directions should have this calamity."

At the same time, inside Taixu Ruyi Gate, Zhong Shiji on the flying boat was holding the Yanxie puppet with his eyes flashing. After a moment, he handed the puppet to Lu Qinghua, and at the same time looked at Wang Li with a deep look on his face, and said
: "Junior brother, it seems that the agreement between us is void."
"Um?"
Wang Li looked stunned and asked doubtfully: "What agreement?"
After asking, the person was stunned again, looking at Zhong Shiji with a somewhat uncertain look, and said: "Could it be that senior brother is talking about..."
"That's right! I, the senior brother of Yuandu Palace, will finally be freed."
Zhong Shiji patted Wang Li on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, junior brother, you are really our lucky star. Xiaoyang swallowed the soul of Kayan just now. I checked its memory and got the experience and understanding of monk Kayan's promotion to Daluo.
As long as I settle a few more things and go back to retreat, I should be able to get a chance for promotion soon.
Based on my qualifications, I will definitely be promoted to Da Luo in less than ten years. You should know the rules of our Yuandu Palace. After being promoted to Da Luo, you will automatically leave the position of senior brother. But don’t be anxious. Senior Brother Chen who has not returned to the mountain may
He is still in the Heavenly Realm, you can discuss it with him when the time comes, and maybe he will become a senior brother himself."
Wang Li couldn't help but laugh, cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, senior brother!"
"Same joy! Same joy!"
Zhong Shiji waved his sleeves with a smile and said: "This puppet of yours is only one step away from entering the innate stream. Besides, Monk Nagayan doesn't know that you have a rare treasure, so he thinks that he can be reborn with the relics he left in his hometown.
, before coming here, I refined a Lotus of Sacrifice and Merit in the Tai'a Golden Boat and asked the people from Wangxian Pavilion to give it to you. This is another good treasure.
But the old monk didn't have any good intentions in giving you this treasure. The purpose was to create a karma with you. If he hadn't died completely, he would have been promoted to Daluo at this moment. As long as you get the lotus of sacrifice and merit, you will be able to live in Kyushu in the future.
When walking, any of those bald people in Buddhism can track your specific location, but you don’t have to worry about it now.”
Wang Li looked cold and said, "Does Wangxian Pavilion know about this?"
"They shouldn't know."
Next to him, Lu Qinghua handed the puppet back to Wang Li and said with a smile: "I didn't know about this before, your senior brother only discovered it after reading Xiao Yang's memory.
But even if we didn’t come, you would have known it when you saw the Sacrifice Lotus."
Wang Li's expression changed. When he took the doll, he asked Zifu in his heart. Sure enough, the fire crow replied that it knew, but he immediately became doubtful.
In this case, why did Monk Nagayan bother to do this? Did he not know the existence of the Fire Crow?
If it wasn't for the relationship with Fire Crow, then why would he attack himself on the Tai'ajin ship?
Thinking of this, Wang Li immediately began to check Xiao Yang's memory, and soon a speechless expression appeared on his face, and he looked towards Jiao Hui who was standing in the corner.
Ganqing Jiayan discovered Jiao Hui.
Wang Li had previously taught Jiao Fei the exercises in the Mingwang Sutra. On the Tai'a Golden Boat, Kayan noticed that Wang Li had the aura of Buddhist exercises on his body, and thought that Wang Li was a Buddhist novice walking in Southeast China.
The misunderstanding directly dragged Wang Li into the illusion.
