Chapter 527: Immortality, Ten Thousand Lotus Saint Buddha
The night is quiet with few stars, and the Zen courtyard is deep and deep.
It wasn't until the end of midnight that Tianhong returned to the courtyard with a strange expression.
Huai Yurong, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly stepped forward and asked: "Master, where is my junior sister?"
"She's fine!"
Tie Tang sat cross-legged on the futon. After hearing this, he opened his eyes and said calmly: "I was entrusted by her master to take her out for a walk.
Da Leiyin Temple...need to give me an explanation!"
It is a good thing that Ying Roujin can activate the Ten Thousand Flowers Lotus of Merit and become a disciple of Buddha.
But if this thing is too good to be true.
That might turn out to be a bad thing!
Tianhong looked solemn, this matter is obviously a secret of Daleiyin Temple and cannot be leaked easily.
"Senior Brother, just tell me what you know. Tietou is petty and the person who abducted him in the door, if I don't have an explanation, I won't be able to bear it, so don't talk about him."
Tianhong was a little helpless and nodded solemnly: "Okay, you are all relatives and friends of World Honored Ying, so you are naturally connected by cause and effect, and you have the right to know the truth.
But this matter must not be leaked!"
"Senior brother, don't worry, none of us are talkative people." Tian Wen waved his hands repeatedly, with a curious look on his face.
"You talk a lot, but you can't listen."
"Why? To be honest, I have known her much earlier than my senior brother."
Seeing that the two were about to argue again, Tie Tang opened his right hand and spread his fingers. The Luotian realm enveloped the Zen courtyard, and the scent from the incense burner in the corner floated to the top, unable to escape, and formed a cloud.
"Let's get down to business!"
Tianhong sat down, put his hands together, said the Buddha's name, and then slowly explained.
"This matter involves the secrets of our sect, and the poor monk has just learned the truth. Some things are not easy to say.
First of all, you must be clear, Miss Ying, no, World Honored One, she is indeed a member of my Buddhist sect, and she has a huge cause and effect with the Wanhua Merit Lotus."
Huai Yurong said anxiously: "My junior sister has been practicing with the master in Chaoxi County and has rarely had contact with Buddhism. How can she be a Buddhist?"
"Don't be anxious, just listen to what I have to say."
Tianhong is neither arrogant nor impetuous: "If we want to talk about the World Honored One, we must first talk about the Ten Thousand Flowers Lotus of Merit. Its body is a divine lotus born innately and conceived by chaos.
It is innately sacred, has no life, old age, or death, and has no limit to lifespan. It is the true existence of "the heaven and the earth decay but I am immortal, the sun and the moon perish but I am immortal".
Long before it met the World Honored One, it had already survived hundreds of millions of calamities, participated in creation, and was an existence close to the Tao.
It's just that this kind of innate spiritual creature cannot avoid being coveted by the world. Shenlian was not yet enlightened at that time, so he experienced thousands of tribulations in the world of mortals.
Until I met the World Honored One.
The Buddha's Dharma is boundless, and the World Honored One enlightened it and turned it into an eighteen-grade ten thousand flower lotus of merit. He lectured and chanted the Dharma for it day and night, finally making it reach a higher level and transcend the world.
It's just that this detachment has been stained with the karma of the mortal world, and there is no peace anymore.
Originally, it was close to the Tao, without the seven emotions and six desires, without the distracting thoughts of the mortal world. It can also be said that it has no self, is ignorant, and cannot see the truth.
On the day of transcendence, when the mind is clear and the nature is clear, the true nature is seen, but the innate self-spiritual wisdom is also born.
Wanhua Merit Lotus has wisdom and self, but does not have all the limitations of worldly beings.
It is extremely powerful, has no lifespan limit, and is immortal. It has also clearly understood the great ways of the world and wants to go further on the road to transcendence.
At the beginning, accompanied by the World Honored One, and having been influenced by Buddhism for a long time, Wanhua Merit Lotus just practiced hard, just to transcend the world of mortals and go to the highest shore.
But it has infinite life, but the World Honored One is not immortal.
The World-Honored One knows that the Ten Thousand Flowers Lotus of Merit and Virtue was born innately, occupying all the opportunities of heaven and earth. Although it has an eternal and immortal body, it has become an eternal prison trapped in the earth.
If you want to go further, you have to let go of the shackles of innateness and break the eternal prison. Only then can you have the opportunity to transcend fate and the way of heaven.
When the end comes, the World Honored One will pass away.
The Wanhua Merit Lotus is endlessly sad, as long as it is as strong as the World Honored One, it still cannot escape the limits of heaven and earth.
Its Buddha heart trembles, feeling grateful for the Buddha's enlightenment in the past, and thinking about the current situation where it is trapped and unable to go any further.
Final decision.
With great perseverance, I gave up this innate body and followed in the footsteps of the Lord, hoping to go further and resurrect the Lord.
Since then, the Ten Thousand Flowers Lotus of Merit has been reincarnated, gone through all the suffering in the world of mortals, cultivated the supreme road, patrolled back and forth, started over and over again, and continues to this day.
And this life——
Miss Ying is its reincarnation!
Now you understand why she can activate the Ten Thousand Flowers Lotus of Merit, right?"
Everyone was in an uproar, no one expected Ying Roujin to have such a huge background.
Tie Tang frowned and caught another strange question: "I dare to ask Master, the World Honored One you are talking about should be the one who founded Buddhism, the first Great Sun Tathagata, right?"
"Not bad!"
"Can you tell me how long he lived? Did he exceed the limit of one dollar?"
Tianhong hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Although the World Honored One does not pursue absolute strength, his Dharma is perfect and his cultivation is profound, which has naturally exceeded the limit of the number of ordinary immortals and gods.
Just...
All things have their limits, and the World Honored One is no exception. It is impossible to truly live forever."
Tie Tang remained silent, but he still had doubts in his heart.
In fact, his cultivation has advanced to the point where he can understand many things without anyone else saying them.
Including longevity!
Tie Tang, who is now only in the Hedao realm, has already felt that the limit of his lifespan is indeed 129,600 years.
But he is very confident——
As long as he continues to make breakthroughs and improves his cultivation to the level of Tao Master, or even to the realm of God Emperor or Immortal Emperor, he will never have only one Yuan of longevity.
He even felt that Shouyuan was not a shackle to him, or that it was not difficult to break through Shouyuan's limitations as he imagined.
Tie Tang said in his heart: "I have seen and confirmed that there are at least two people who can break through the life limit of one yuan.
One is the Great Lord and the other is Mo Xinxiang.
The Great Lord King was probably the last person born in the middle of ancient times. I met him at the end of ancient times and the beginning of ancient times, and even knew that he was also active in ancient times.
His lifespan must have exceeded one yuan long ago. I don’t know how long it will last.
And Mo Xinxiang!
When I met her at the Eternity Tower, her cultivation was already very advanced. She claimed that even the law of heaven could not kill her, and that the lowest she could be was a god emperor or an immortal emperor, maybe even higher.
At that time, she had not yet become a Drought Demon, and her origins were older than the Great King, and she was almost immortal after becoming a Drought Demon. At least I had seen her in the beginning of ancient times.
These two exist...
Although I don't know when they actually died, it is obvious that a simple lifespan limit cannot restrain such powerful beings.
Even if the first Great Sun Tathagata in Buddhism is not as good as these two, he is certainly extremely powerful.
And the "Great Sun Tathagata Sutra" created by him may not be worse than Mo Xinxiang's "Xuanyin Life and Death Zha".
In addition, there are innate and immortal beings such as the Ten Thousand Flowers Lotus of Merit and Virtue, which are always by your side.
Shouyuan...can it really limit such existence?"
Tie Tang looked at Tianhong and asked solemnly: "Is that World Honored One dying of old age or..."
This is not a difficult problem. There are many people who know about it, and Tianhong will not hide it: "The World Honored One should have passed away in the middle to late ancient times. It is too far away from now, at least a million years.
No one knows exactly how it happened, but according to the records in our Buddhist collection, the World Honored One has indeed reached his end and obeyed his fate and returned to heaven."
Feng Bingyao glanced at Tie Tang, stopping other strange thoughts in his mind, and asked directly: "Master, what do you mean... Miss Ying is the reincarnation of the Lotus Spirit of Wanhua Merit?"
"Weapon spirit?" Tianhong shook his head repeatedly.
"It is also my Buddha, the World Honored One. It has already attained the Buddhahood and is known as the Ten Thousand Lotus Holy Buddha. It is not a magical spirit.
Moreover, the Holy Buddha has shed his old shell millions of years ago and has been reborn in reincarnation just for the supreme path. In fact, he is no different from you and me.
The Wanhua Merit Lotus may be her, but she is not the Wanhua Merit Lotus. She is already a new creature in the world."
Feng Bingyao asked: "Then it has lost its innate immortality, how can it survive reincarnation?"
"The World Honored One is subject to birth, old age, sickness and death in every life, so how can he not die?"
"Since its lifespan is limited, how can it cultivate its own way? I'm afraid 129,600 years are not enough for a person like it to cultivate, right?"
Tianhong smiled and said nothing and did not answer this question.
Tie Tang's heart moved, and he sent a message to Feng Bingyao: "It's probably related to the technique it cultivates. Its predecessor, the Ten Thousand Flowers Merit Lotus, is extremely powerful, and it has cultivated to an unknown level.
That's true.
It still chose reincarnation. There should be some secret method to keep the soul immortal.
It’s just that it seems to have ignored the factor of the mystery in the womb, and the reincarnation did not inherit the memory of the past at all.”
"It may not be due to neglect, but it may be done on purpose. I really don't know what kind of amazing skills it has cultivated."
At this time, Tianwen also thought of the crux of the problem: "Senior brother, is the reason for recalling the reincarnation of the Holy Buddha now just to welcome the Buddha tomorrow and to deal with possible changes?"
"Yes, the previous Great Sun Lord died at the hands of a foreign enemy. This time the new Buddha takes over, Shi Wuyan Temple will definitely come to harass him.
In addition, the current world is in chaos, and the sky is full of demons and demons, so our sect must have the confidence to suppress all unrest.
One of the sources of confidence is Wanhua Merit Lotus!
It’s just that it’s too difficult to activate. If you want to truly activate the power of this supreme Buddhist weapon, only the reincarnation of the Holy Buddha can do it.”
"During the turmoil in the sect 600,000 years ago, was it possible to recall the reincarnation of the Holy Buddha?"
This time, Tianhong sighed with regret: "I tried to recall him at that time, but the reincarnation of the Holy Buddha had its own chance, and for some reason he did not return to the door, which ultimately led to the turmoil."
"The Ten Thousand Lotus Saint Buddha gave up his old body with great perseverance and practiced hard for millions of years, but he was forcefully recalled by your Buddhist sect through cause and effect. I am afraid that it may not be a good thing for him or you."
Tie Tang already has certain attainments in the Avenue of Cause and Effect. After knowing the inside story, it is easy to deduce what is wrong with it.
Ying Roujin is only in the earth witch realm now. Although she has a great reputation, she does not have the strength to match it.
Obviously.
Recalling the reincarnation of the Holy Buddha may lead to some unexpected problems.
Tianhong said helplessly: "If it weren't for a crisis and something unexpected happened, the higher-ups wouldn't want to do this. Moreover, recalling the Holy Buddha this time is also an attempt, and we are not completely sure."
Thinking of the current situation of Daleiyin Temple and the general trend of the world, Tie Tang also knew that he felt a little tired of standing and talking.
Liu Xiangxiang's round little face was filled with worry, "Sister Ying has become what you call the reincarnation of the Holy Buddha. If she is beaten to death... wouldn't she have killed the Wanlian Holy Buddha? Haven't you thought about this?
”
Tomorrow’s Buddhist ceremony, you don’t need to think about it to know that it is extremely dangerous.
Even an immortal may die suddenly at any time, let alone Ying Roujin, an earth witch.
"The World Honored One is protected by the Ten Thousand Flower Lotus of Merit. It is impossible to kill her. Even if an accident does happen, it will be the fate of the World Honored One.
His Dharma is unparalleled in ancient times and today. Death is just a process, not a return. It is just another reincarnation."
Tianhong's words in the second half seemed a bit cruel, but they were also true.
The reincarnation of the Holy Buddha has died countless times in millions of years. Even if this time is added, it actually does not have much impact.
Buddhists think it doesn't matter, but others don't think so.
Tie Tang said coldly: "If Daleiyin Temple deliberately asked Miss Ying to die, no one else would tell, and the cause and effect with me would be considered.
I hope that Master can carefully communicate with the World Honored Ones and Bodhisattvas above and avoid making big mistakes."
For Daleiyin Temple, Ying Roujin is just the reincarnation of Wanlian Saint Buddha. After this reincarnation dies, there will be the next reincarnation.
But to Tie Tang and others, Ying Roujin is Ying Roujin, a separate living being, their friend and fellow student.
If she dies, she is really dead. Even if the Holy Buddha reincarnates again, she will not be reborn.
"This... Governor Tie can rest assured. Given the Lord's high status, she is the most senior one in the sect. How can we let her die!"
Tian Wen seemed to have thought of something extremely embarrassing, with a painful expression on his face: "Wow~ Then next time we meet, don't I have to kowtow to her?"
"Junior brother is too presumptuous!"
Tianwen suddenly smiled slyly, stepped forward and put his arm around Tianhong's shoulders: "Senior brother, tell the truth, did you kowtow to the Lord Ying when you just went to Lingshan?"
"My brother's meritorious deeds have been fulfilled and I have become a Buddha. I have long since abandoned the worldly etiquette." When Tianhong said this, the topic suddenly changed.
"But you are different. You are just a disciple and have no attainment status. When worshiping the World Honored One, remember not to neglect your etiquette."
Tianwen's head is full of black lines and his face is full of question marks.
With his intervention, the previous bleak atmosphere in the courtyard gradually dissipated, and everyone was looking forward to the arrival of the Buddhist ceremony tomorrow with a bit of worry and a bit of anticipation.
……
The next day.
As the sun rises, Buddha's light surges.
A gap opened in the sky above the vast Leiyin Temple, and the opening became larger and larger. All kinds of sacred auras filled the air, with thousands of auspicious auras and thousands of rays of rays of light.
First, eight hundred celestial mountains appeared, and then there were exotic precious celestial flowers, the Brahma forest emerged, green luanas danced in the sky, turtles held longevity banners, the mist was as misty as clouds, and the Buddha's light shone like a pure land.
At the top of the fairy mountain, there are cranes cuddling with sesame, skylarks licking their feathers, jade tigers lying peacefully on the cliffs, red phoenixes, turtles and snakes circling, white deer and apes playing. The mountains are covered with pine trees and ancient cypresses, green cypresses and bamboos, strange flowers that never fade, and fairy fruits falling from the treetops.

This is the real Thunder Pagoda, the Paradise of Bliss——
