It’s a joke. Nowadays, the eight tribes in the Buddhist prison are all over Xiniu and Hezhou arresting lawless monks. The Arhat appears in front of them with all his karma. If he doesn’t actively seek death, what is he?
If you don't arrest him, who will arrest him?
Therefore, the eight tribes in the Buddha Prison arrested the Arhat without saying a word.
And the consequences of arresting an Arhat would be much more serious than arresting hundreds of Buddhist disciples.
After all, Arhat's network of connections is much larger than that of Buddhist disciples. Most of the people who can be friends with him are Arhats and Bodhisattvas.
It was precisely because of this that the Eight Tribes of the Buddha Prison captured the Arhat, which was like poking a hornet's nest, provoking a large group of Arhats who came to save people.
Good guy, what kind of existence are the Eight Tribes of the Buddha Prison? They are just ruthless law enforcement machines. They have no understanding of human nature at all. When they see someone coming to save someone, they will treat them as an accomplice and arrest them without even thinking about it.
Although the Arhat is strong, the eight tribes of the Buddha Prison are obviously stronger. One hundred and ninety-two golden immortals join forces. Unless the opponent sends out an equal number of golden immortals, they will inevitably end up falling into the Buddha Prison.
Things got worse and worse, and finally, a Bodhisattva named Zhi Shengyi was alarmed, walked out of his dojo, and went to Tianlong Temple in person to persuade Jiang Chen to stop.
In front of Tianlong Temple, a Bodhisattva and King Ming looked at each other for a moment, and then heard the Bodhisattva say:
"King Ming, my Buddhist sect is compassionate and puts tolerance first. Why did you bother to cause trouble in Hezhou, Xiniu, and increase your sins out of thin air?"
When Jiang Chen heard this, he raised his eyes and said, "I talk about compassion to them, but who will talk about compassion to the creatures they harmed?"
"Both are born from parents, and they are both of the same flesh and blood. Who can be nobler than the other? And who is born to be enslaved by others?"
"If I let them go and let them go unpunished, how can the creatures who were harmed by them find peace? If the other monks see that they are fine, who will take the Buddhist precepts in their eyes?"
Faced with Jiang Chen's question, the most powerful Bodhisattva put his hands together, said the Buddha's name, and said: "Amitabha, this is called karma and retribution. It is precisely because those living beings have done so many evil things in their previous lives that they will have such a calamity in this life and die tragically among Buddhist disciples.
hand."
"However, they have accumulated virtues and done good deeds in this life. Even if they die, they will be reborn in the Western Paradise in the next life and enjoy great freedom."
As soon as the Most Victorious Bodhisattva said this, Jiang Chen was immediately laughed out of anger, "According to the Bodhisattva's wishes, is it better for the Buddhist disciples to harm those living beings?"
"The earthly world is too painful and the mortal world is difficult to survive, so Buddhist disciples take action to end their lives and send them to liberation and a blissful life?"
The most successful Bodhisattva clasped his hands together, as if he heard the irony in Jiang Chen's words, and replied shamelessly: "What King Ming said is true."
Hearing this, Jiang Chen knew that there was nothing to talk about between them. As the saying goes, people who have different paths cannot work together, that's it.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Chen suddenly smiled and said: "Fortunately, I had a conversation with the Bodhisattva, and I now know how correct what I did today was."
At this point, Jiang Chen's tone became fierce in vain, "It is precisely because of the existence of people like you in Buddhism that the birth of Tianlong Temple was prompted."
"You only see the retribution of cause and effect, but you don't see anything about Buddhism's kindness to others, equality of all living beings, and compassion in the world..."
"When I killed someone, I didn't see any compassion in your eyes. But now when the butcher's knife falls on you, you talk about compassion."
"This is your compassion. It is all for yourself and not for others. It is really disgusting to be so selfish."
"It is precisely because of the existence of moths like you that Buddhism has been unable to flourish. Now I am here to observe the precepts of Buddhism, just to clean up the moths like you, so that the chaos can be brought back to order, and a peaceful and prosperous age can be restored to Xiniu Hezhou."
Being scolded as a moth, Most Victorious Bodhisattva felt a surge of anger in his heart, his face turned red, and he cursed at Jiang Chen:
"Monk, you said that I don't talk about mercy, but there is no trace of mercy in your eyes. Those Buddhist disciples who died at your hands were also born and raised by your parents. Don't you feel cruel when you kill them?"
After hearing the words of the most successful Bodhisattva, Jiang Chen knew that his butt was crooked to the edge.
Those who can empathize with criminals and defend them are just doing the same thing, so they subconsciously defend themselves. Otherwise, do they think they are bad people?
Of course, in addition to this, there may be a psychology that it is not easy for Buddhism to cultivate a disciple. But it is not easy for Buddhism to cultivate disciples. How about it being easy for an ordinary family to raise a child?
After a few words, Jiang Chen was no longer interested in continuing the conversation with Zhishengyi Bodhisattva, so he heard him say: "Bodhisattva, is it you? Look at your appearance now, do you have the nerve to call yourself a Bodhisattva?"
"Ask yourself, are you worthy of the sentient beings who believe in you? I don't know what kind of Buddha you practice. You are selfish and have no heart of a Bodhisattva. You are simply a demon in Buddha's skin."
"You..." Hearing this, the Most Victorious Bodhisattva was so angry that he actually had a murderous intention. Then, he saw him offering his magic weapon and suddenly blasting it towards Jiang Chen.
"Monk, you have become a demon. I will take you down and send you to Lingshan to be dealt with by the Buddha."
Seeing the most powerful Bodhisattva taking action, Jiang Chen did not panic, but smiled and said: "Bodhisattva, you are not practicing well and have violated the precept of anger!"
"Also, the world is too painful and difficult. In order to prevent the Bodhisattva from struggling in the sea of suffering, I have decided to give the Bodhisattva a ride to help you reach bliss as soon as possible."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chen stood up, grabbed the Tianlong Zen Staff, and with the power of the Buddha Hell, blasted it towards the Most Victorious Bodhisattva.
I really thought Jiang Chen was just chatting, but I was wrong. From the moment the Most Victorious Bodhisattva arrived, Jiang Chen was secretly accumulating strength to give him a fatal blow.
The Most Victorious Bodhisattva has the cultivation of Taiyi Golden Immortal. If it were normal, even if Jiang Chen could capture him, it would cost a lot of money, but he should never come to Tianlong Temple.
Tianlong Temple was built by Yin Yin Saint, with his blessing. Not to mention the Taiyi Golden Immortal, even the Daluo Golden Immortal came and could not break this place.
And Jiang Chen silently accumulated strength for a long time, so that when his staff was blasted out, it was like the pressure of a Buddhist prison, with a power comparable to that of Daluo Jinxian.
Boom~~
The most victorious Bodhisattva came to kill him, and his powerful magical power exploded, but without even touching Jiang Chen, he was swallowed by the barrier outside Tianlong Temple.
At this time, Jiang Chen's attack also arrived.
Then he saw the power of the Buddha's Prison surging, rushing out from the Tianlong Zen Staff, setting off waves of freezing coldness, directly freezing the Most Victorious Bodhisattva, hugging him, and falling to the deepest part of the Buddha's Prison.
Boom~~
At this time, the power of the Buddha Prison surged, and the eight tribes of the Buddha Prison who were outside enforcing the law were affected, and their power also increased slightly.
After suppressing the Most Victorious Bodhisattva, Jiang Chen returned to the posture of sitting cross-legged. At this time, he had enlightenment and no longer had any scruples in his actions.
Not only did they let the Eight Tribes of the Buddha Prison hunt for people everywhere, but they also sent their own King Ming to incarnate as the Mighty Dragon King Ming to travel between Xiniu and Hezhou, specifically to attack Arhats and Bodhisattvas.
The chronic diseases in Buddhism are deep-seated, and only by ruthless action can there be a chance of cure. Therefore, Jiang Chen no longer targets the bottom of Buddhism, but instead targets the middle.
It is also because he lacks strength, otherwise, he would directly take action against the senior officials of the Buddhist sect.
What's the use of catching a few low-level people? What can be changed? It's better to catch a few high-level people as role models. When the low-level people see them, they will become afraid, and changes will naturally occur.
…
As Jiang Chen changed his previous attitude and became tougher, a huge bloody storm suddenly broke out in Xiniu Hezhou.
Every day, a large number of monks were killed, arrested, and imprisoned in Buddhist prisons to be tortured. And every once in a while, news of the death of Arhats and the fall of Bodhisattvas came.
For a time, many Buddhist disciples were panic-stricken, fearing that they would become the next target of the eight tribes in the Buddhist prison, so they all ran to Lingshan to avoid disaster.
However, the eight members of the Buddhist Prison were so furious that they didn't care about Lingshan Mountain. When they saw the monk escaping, they chased him without saying a word. Even if he escaped to Lingshan Mountain, it was difficult to stop him.
Therefore, right on Lingshan Mountain, in front of all the Buddhas, the Eight Tribes of the Buddha Prison forcibly arrested people, shocking the entire Buddhist world.
"Buddha is merciful, please save his disciples." In front of the Buddha, the Buddhist disciples did not dare to use force. Facing the arrests of the eight tribes in the Buddha Prison, they could only beg the Buddha to take action and save them.
"My Buddha, in my opinion, these disciples have already repented. Why don't we rescue them and give them a chance to start over again, to show that my Buddhist sect is vast and tolerant of others."
On the side, there was a Buddha who couldn't bear to see the miserable condition of these disciples and couldn't help but give him some advice.
Hearing this, the Buddha did not reply, but shook his head, slowly closed his eyes, and did not look at the pleading disciples below.
Although he didn't say anything, his meaning was clearly expressed. He would not care about this matter.
When the Buddhas saw this, they sighed helplessly, closed their eyes one after another, and recited Buddhist scriptures, as if praying for these disciples.
…
"What King Buddha? I think this is clearly a sinful Buddha, a sinful Buddha, a sinner of Buddhism." Seeing that the Buddha was silent, an old monk on the Lingshan Mountain became so angry that he cursed.
After hearing this, the eight members of the Buddhist Prison took the time to take a look at him and saw that he had no karma on his body, but had merits and virtues on him, so they forced out a smile, smiled at the old monk, and continued to take the karma according to his karma.
people.
…
"Do you sin against the Buddha? That's not bad."
"If with my own efforts, Buddhism can return to the right path, then all kinds of sins will be added to my body, so what's the problem?"
"Catching evil and eradicating evil, never hesitating to do what is right, upholding righteousness, and taking action after asking for wrongdoing. This is me, the great virtuous and mighty King Buddha."
In Tianlong Temple, when Jiang Chen heard the old monk's complaint, he smiled lightly and was not angry. Instead, he took the initiative to recognize the title to show his ambition.
Then, Jiang Chen stood up, stepped forward, and actually entered the Buddhist prison on his own initiative, experiencing the tribulations of the eighteen levels of Buddhist prison.
As soon as he entered hell, Jiang Chen felt boundless pain hit his heart, and all kinds of terrifying illusions flashed before his eyes.
However, even though all kinds of pains were imposed on him, it was still difficult to move his heart. Jiang Chen was seen ignoring all kinds of torture, stepping forward resolutely, and moving forward in the Buddha Prison without changing his expression.
On the Lingshan Mountain, when the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas saw this, they couldn't help but chant the name of the Buddha and chanted: "Amitabha, I praise the great virtuous and majestic King Buddha, who upholds integrity, asks for sins and acts, and is the embodiment of the precepts and the example of all Buddhas.
"
…
Entering the Buddhist prison alone, Jiang Chen not only did not feel any pain, but felt that his power was slowly growing.
In the void invisible to ordinary people, the six dazzling golden wheels of merit are slowly turning.
The various powers that came from the Buddha Prison were taken away by the Golden Wheel of Merit before they came close to Jiang Chen, refined, and turned into the purest power, which was integrated into his body and slowly strengthened his physical body.
Moreover, the more Buddhist hells he experienced, the clearer Jiang Chen's Taoist mind became.
At a certain moment, there was a bang, as if something was being broken, Jiang Chen's realm reached a higher level, from the fifth heaven of heaven to the sixth heaven of heaven.
Rumble!
The blood was like a great river, surging in his body, stirring up terrifying power.
Silently, but moving forward firmly, one month later, Jiang Chen went through all the sufferings of the eighteen levels of the Buddhist Prison before leaving the Buddhist Prison.
After leaving the Buddhist prison, Jiang Chen's Taoist mind became increasingly emptier and brighter, faintly united with heaven and earth.
Inexplicably, his heart palpitated, and his hands suddenly formed a seal. Golden light rose up and turned into a supreme seal, covering him and protecting him firmly.
This is the seal of merit, which can protect one's body from being invaded by external demons.
After that, the seal on Jiang Chen's hand changed again, and a dark light suddenly appeared, turning into Yin Qi. In the Yin Qi, there were eight demon gods looming, and there was a hell that was constantly rising and falling.
This is the Hell Seal, which has eighteen levels. When it is struck on a person, it can make him feel the various tortures in hell.
Divine power!
During this trip to the Buddhist Prison, Jiang Chen was able to gain enlightenment and realize two magical powers, the Seal of Merit and the Seal of Hell, one for defense and one for attack, which can be passed down to Tianlong Temple.
…
After stabilizing his state, Jiang Chen finally had time to observe the situation of the eight tribes in the Buddha Prison.
I really didn't know it until I saw it. I was shocked when I saw that there were over ten thousand monks, over a hundred Arhats, and more than ten Bodhisattvas in the Buddha Prison.
"Hiss~~"
Seeing this, even with Jiang Chen's state of mind, he couldn't help but take a breath of air.
So brave!
Even if he has a profound foundation in Buddhism, he can't help but hold on to the Eight Tribes of Buddha Prison. But at the same time, Jiang Chen can't help but praise the actions of the Eight Tribes of Buddha Prison in his heart.
This execution is absolutely outstanding.
After this incident, the prestige of Tianlong Temple has been completely established. From now on, when Tianlong Temple's disciples walk in Xiniu Hezhou, few people will dare to provoke them.
As for where the disciples of Tianlong Temple come from?
Jiang Chen did not preach to the world for nothing.
Those who practice the mighty Tianlong magical power are the future disciples of Tianlong Temple. Once they are successful in their cultivation, they can go to Tianlong Temple to practice more advanced magical powers.
However, right now is not the time to think about this. The most important thing now is to recall the eight members of the Buddhist Prison.
Too much is too little!
If he continues to be captured, he will really push the Buddhist masters into panic, and Jiang Chen will die inexplicably at home if he cannot be saved.
