While Jie Yin and Zhunti were secretly weighing the pros and cons, Indra quickly arrived at Mount Sumeru with four attendants.
The disciple who received him, Taoist Medicine Master, had been waiting at the foot of the mountain for a long time. After seeing Indra, he bowed and said, "Taoist Medicine Master, see your Majesty."
Indra waved his hand and said: "Indra, a poor man, has nothing to do with his status as Emperor of Heaven after he has emerged from the heaven. It is too early for you to call me Your Majesty now. From now on, just call me Uncle Master."
"Yes, uncle!"
The Taoist Medicine Master immediately changed his mind and said that it would be better to address him as Uncle Master, which would allow him to ignore the other person's identity intentionally or unintentionally. Otherwise, facing the Great Heavenly Lord of the Three Realms every day would be too much pressure.
After Indra walked a few steps, he saw Jie Yin and Zhunti coming out to greet him. Zhunti laughed loudly and said, "Junior brother Yu Zhi has come, and I am a poor Taoist who welcomes me."
Indra bowed his head and said: "I have seen these two senior brothers. I have made such an evil guest. These two senior brothers will not chase us away, right?"
Zhunti said with a smile: "What the hell! Junior brother is a distinguished guest of my two brothers. I can't even invite you!"
Indra followed the three of them into the Land of Ultimate Bliss, sat down in the cave, and said: "I am here this time because I want to join the Western Sect, and I hope that my two senior brothers will accept me."
Jie Yin and Zhunti looked at each other and said with a smile: "Junior brother thinks highly of my Western religion and is willing to be humble and respectful. I am very happy for you. How can I not accept it?"
Indra said: "This is very good. I see that there are three Qings in Dongsheng Shenzhou, and they have become the three leaders of Taoism. The West should not be worse than the East. I am not talented, so I would like to be the three leaders of the Western religion.
, what do you think, senior brother, of making the Three Dharma Seals, the core teachings of our religion, perfect?"
"this……"
Jie Yin and Zhunti looked at each other, and their expressions changed slightly. They didn't expect that Duke Dongwang had such a big appetite, and he was going to become the leader of the three religions, and become an existence on an equal footing with their brothers. This was a lot of luck to share.
Zhunti thought about it and said: "My Western teaching is shallow, so I'm afraid I won't be able to support the three leaders!"
Indra didn't argue with them, and went straight to the point: "The two senior brothers plotted against my younger brother twice, and each time they killed me. Isn't such a huge cause and effect not worth a third leader?"
He then said, "What happened the day before yesterday was indeed my brother's fault."
Indra said: "Two senior brothers, please weigh it up. As long as I become the leader of the three religions, everyone will be our own people from now on, and the cause and effect will naturally be nothing. The two of you are planning something, and with the help of Pindao, when the time comes,
,Success is not that difficult!”
Jieyin and Zhunti looked at each other, secretly surprised, and asked tentatively: "I wonder what junior brother is referring to?"
Indra said: "Of course it is a matter of abandoning Taoism and establishing Buddhism."
Like a thunderbolt exploding on a sunny day, Jie Yin and Zhunti were even more shocked. Only their brothers knew about this matter, and they never revealed it at all. How did Prince Dong know about it?
If we think about it, it is impossible for anyone to succeed in such a matter that involves the secrets in the hearts of the saints without alarming the two of them, unless Dongwanggong's cultivation has reached a level that surpasses the way of heaven.
Zhunti smiled and said, "Junior brother, why do you say this? My brothers and sisters are all disciples of Master Hongjun and are members of Xuanmen. How can we have any other thoughts about another sect?"
Indra said nothing, looking at Jieyin and Zhunti with half-smiling eyes.
Jie Yin sighed secretly. It seemed that the other party really knew about their plan and asked, "Where did junior brother learn about it?"
Indra said: "It's not difficult to guess. The teachings of the great religion established by the two of you have already deviated from Taoism, and many things in the evolved Taoism are also contrary to the spirit of Taoism.
Moreover, Senior Brother Jie Yin also mentioned the concept of Buddha, which is called great enlightenment and perfection. It runs through the entire teaching and is also the highest status of Western religions. This is definitely not what authentic Taoism should have. As saints, you two are already on different paths.
, if you want to develop and grow, how can you not start a new one? And if you set up a side branch, it will naturally be Buddhism."
Zhunti smiled bitterly and said: "Junior brother is indeed the Great Heavenly Lord of the Three Realms. Just from my teachings and my brother's performances, he can see through our thoughts and admire us."
Indra smiled lightly and said nothing. In fact, he could understand the thoughts of Jie Yin and Zhunti mainly because of the memory of Western religions rebelling against Taoism.
Although this life was very different from the original time and space, after reading their teachings and methods, he immediately knew that Buddhism would still appear, so he decided to get a share of the pie first.
He said: "Since junior brother already knows about this matter, Pindao will not hide it. However, this matter has an impact on Xuanmen, why should junior brother get involved?"
Indra said: "The three realms and six realms, all sects, and all living beings are under the rule of the Emperor of Heaven. To the Emperor of Heaven, there is not much difference between Taoism and Buddhism. As long as it is beneficial to the rule, you can do anything."
Such naked words made the two of them believe even more. After all, we are not innocent children. Of course, we do something because we can gain benefits.
If you can gain greater benefits by supporting the establishment of a separate Buddhist sect, why not do it? For the Emperor of Heaven, a single Taoist sect with a dominant family is not conducive to the stability of its rule. Only multiple sects that check and balance each other are the most beneficial to the Heavenly Emperor.
situation.
Zhunti said: "If junior brother can support my brother in establishing another side sect, it will be a great contribution to our religion, and these three leaders will be able to convince everyone."
Indra smiled lightly and said: "Then before that, do we need to clarify the authority of the three leaders? If I support you two to establish a separate sect, then you will only let me be a leader in name only. I will
Isn’t all the hard work in vain?”
Zhunti said: "Of course not. Junior brother, don't you still believe in the character of my two brothers?"
Indra sneered: "Haha!"
Zhunti was slightly embarrassed and asked: "How do you want to divide the divisions, junior brother?"
Indra said: ""It's very simple. After the establishment of Buddhism, the three of us were collectively called the leader, which is the origin of Buddhism. And you two are the founders of the religion, the ancestors of ten thousand Buddhas, responsible for spreading the teachings, and the vastness of Buddhism. But you are poor.
, he will be the head of ten thousand Buddhas and the emperor among Buddhas, responsible for the management of this Buddhist sect, assigning fruition status to all his disciples, and managing the pure lands of immeasurable Buddha lands."
Zhunti shook his head and said: "Junior brother's appetite is too big. With this division, wouldn't the relationship between you and me be equivalent to the relationship between the saints and the Emperor of Heaven?"
Indra said: "What's wrong? I am responsible for managing Buddhism, representing the majesty of the Dharma, and you are responsible for preaching, representing compassion and universal salvation. This is the coexistence of compassion and majesty, which will naturally be of great benefit to the growth of our Buddhism."
Zhunti Jieyin remained silent and weighed in secret.
Indra continued: "This is just a deal. I will be the leader of ten thousand Buddhas and share a lot of Buddhism's luck. However, it will also make Buddhism develop faster. The overall increase in luck will definitely exceed what I share."
Jieyin and Zhunti looked at each other without saying a word. Indra said so much, but he didn't just want to snatch away the management rights of Buddhism from their hands. Giving it to a third leader was already very painful for them.
, not to mention the head of ten thousand Buddhas who holds real power?
Indra continued: "I am the leader of all immortals, and you two set up a side sect, which has an impact on the immortal way. How can I compensate for the loss of luck?
If you can't get the position of the leader of ten thousand Buddhas, why should I bother? In this way, I will never allow Xuanmen to be divided. Do you two think you can successfully establish a side sect under the dual pressure of the Three Pure Ones and the Heavenly Court?"
Jie Yin and Zhunti felt a shiver in their hearts. This was what they were most worried about. Now the path they were following had completely deviated from the authentic Taoism and became a heretical path in the eyes of Sanqing.
If you can't seek self-reliance, you will always be a branch of Xuanmen. No matter how much luck you have, it will first supply Xuanmen as a whole, especially the Sanqing Zhengzong. They will only gradually become subordinates of Xuanmen Zongzong and act as nutrients for Xuanmen.
.
Buddhism is the essence of the two people's Tao. It is the product of the two people's understanding of the world and the concrete realization of it. It can be said to be the extension and demonstration of the Tao.
This is related to the path of the two of them. If they cannot develop and grow, firstly, it will be difficult to fulfill the great wish made by Jie Yin, and secondly, it will be difficult to progress in cultivation.
"That's all, just follow my junior brother."
Jie Yin and Zhunti also had to compromise for the sake of independence and growth of Buddhism.
Indra laughed and said: "Okay, in that case, Pindao will be the leader of the three Western religions and the head of the Ten Thousand Buddhas in the future."
Now that it has been determined, Jie Yin and Zhunti no longer have to worry about it. They immediately exchange the disciples and ask them to pay homage to the three leaders.
Medicine Master, Maitreya and other disciples were quite surprised. They didn't know how this man became the leader of the Western Sect. But from their point of view, they were secretly happy. After all, with this person joining, the Western Sect's momentum was greatly boosted.
Indra also asked Zhedan and four other people to meet Zhunti, who made Zhunti's eyes flash with brilliance. He felt that these talents were indeed extraordinary, and the amazing thing was that most of them were related to Western religions. If they could win them over,
It would be a beautiful thing to make him serve Western religion wholeheartedly.
After a few people retreated, Indra said: "I have the responsibility of managing educational affairs, but I also have to plan for the future. Although it is not the time to establish a Buddhist sect at this time, we can still start with some basic structures.
Already."
Zhunti asked: "Junior brother, what do you think?"
Indra said: "I do have some ideas. I want to imitate the five levels of karma under the Heavenly Emperor in Heaven, and also establish five levels of fruition for Buddhism. The highest fruition in Buddhism is Buddha, and Buddha is divided into Buddhas and ordinary Buddhas, corresponding to those in Heaven.
The emperor and Yuanjun.
Below the Buddha, one can have the status of Bodhisattva, which corresponds to the status of the Heavenly King. Those below the Golden Immortal of Great Luo will not be awarded. The next step is the status of Great Arhat, which can be called Great Arhat, Arhat, Golden Body Arhat, etc. Those below the Immortal Taiyi Golden Immortal will not be awarded.
.The last level is the ordinary Arhat status, which is not granted to people below the Golden Immortal. The three of you and I are the highest Buddhas, representing the three core seals of Buddhism, how about it?"
Zhunti and Jieyin looked at each other with surprise. You must know that whether it is a Bodhisattva or an Arhat, they have different meanings in their conceptions. They have never revealed it to others. They did not expect that Indra would actually
The two of them stated their ideas clearly.
Is this the unification of Taoism and Dharma, the same view, or is there some other mystery behind it?
However, this was not far from what the two had imagined. He nodded and said, "Yes."
Then he pressed the Nirvana Seal with his hand and said: "When Buddhism emerges, I will be Amitabha Buddha, the ancestor of all Buddhas, symbolizing the tranquility of Nirvana."
Zhunti also held the selfless Dharma seal with his hand and said: "When Buddhism emerged, I should be the mother of Zhunti Buddha, the ancestor of all Buddhas, symbolizing the selflessness of all dharma."
Indra held the seal of impermanence in his hand and said: "When Buddhism comes out, I will be the first of all Buddhas, Sakyamuni Buddha, symbolizing the impermanence of all actions."
As the three people finished speaking, the heavenly secret changed, attracting the attention of several saints.
Sitting in the Miluo Palace, Duke Dong randomly messed up the secrets, leaving all the saints with no clue. They just felt that the Xuanmen Qi movement was turbulent and that there was a potential for great prosperity in the west. They thought it was the joint efforts of Jie Yin and Zhunti.
