A figure with a smile on his face, that smile makes people feel like spring breeze, and makes people want to worship him.
With every step he took, a golden lotus appeared under his feet. For nine consecutive steps, nine lotus flowers set off this figure and came to the front of everyone.
The right hand twists the lotus Buddha seal to point to the sky, and the left hand is in the shape of holding the sky. Behind this figure, five blurry figures sitting cross-legged on the lotus platform appear.
The appearance of these five figures caused a golden light to appear behind this figure. This golden light spread over the entire Baoguo Temple, covering half of Mount Emei. Feeling this golden light, Master Yuanci and others showed surprises on their faces.
color.
The golden light fell on Qin Yu's body, but Qin Yu frowned slightly. This was Buddha's light. For Buddhist believers, it was divine light, but for Qin Yu, this Buddha's light had a desire to influence him.
of energy.
"The fifth ancestor of Zen Buddhism, no wonder he became the seventh ancestor."
Qin Yu squinted his eyes and looked at this familiar old friend. The five figures that appeared behind him were the five ancestors in the history of Zen Buddhism.
The Fifth Patriarch's Buddha's light affixed to his body is a symbol of his identity. No one can deny that he is the Seventh Patriarch of Zen Buddhism.
"Buddhist disciples in Mount Emei have met the Seventh Patriarch."
Master Yuanci and others all knelt on the ground and shouted respectfully.
"My Buddha has a past, a present, and a future. The Buddha has neither birth nor death. There are countless burning lamps in the past, there is the Tathagata in the present, and there is Maitreya in the future. As a disciple of my Buddhist sect, if you think of the Buddha in the past, the lamp will come out; if you think of the Buddha of the present, you will light the lamp.
When the Tathagata comes out and thinks of the future Buddha, Maitreya will come out." The Seventh Patriarch said slowly.
After the Seventh Patriarch said these words, Master Yuanci and others clasped their hands together and silently recited Amitabha.
Qin Yu's eyes narrowed slightly because he saw Master Yuanci and others emitting a golden light from above their heads. This golden light shot into the back of the seventh ancestor and merged into the figure of the fifth ancestor of the Zen sect. This made the five Zen sects
Zu's figure became brighter and brighter.
"Buddha has mercy on the world. He appears in the body of Buddha before the world and builds a great glazed world of infinite light."
The Seventh Patriarch made a Buddha seal with his hands, and the figure of the Fifth Patriarch behind him slowly merged together at this moment, and then turned into a huge figure of Maitreya. In an instant, the golden light shook the entire Mount Emei.
The bells of countless temples are ringing at this moment.
When Master Yuanci and others who were kneeling on the ground saw the appearance of Maitreya Buddha, they were all excited. They knelt on the ground and chanted the Buddha's name, with a look of fanaticism in their eyes.
The golden light of Maitreya Buddha fell on them, making them very comfortable. Even many monks had a sudden awakening to the parts of the Buddhist scriptures that were difficult to understand under the illumination of this golden light.
The light of Buddha spreads everywhere, saving all those who believe in Buddhism and realize the true meaning of Buddhism.
The reason why the ancestors of Zen Buddhism were revered by Buddhist disciples in the past is not only their contribution to the promotion of Buddhism, but also a very important point is that these people opened forums to lecture on sutras, influenced all living beings, and solved the confusion of Buddhist disciples.
And now, the Seventh Patriarch of Zen Buddhism has used the light of Buddha to bring salvation, and no one can deny the title of the Seventh Patriarch.
A quarter of an hour later, the Buddha's light disappeared, and Master Yuanci and others woke up from a dream and said, "Thank you to the Seventh Patriarch for teaching the Dharma."
"It is the duty of my Buddhist disciples to understand the true meaning of my Buddha, to spread the supreme Buddha Dharma, and to inspire thousands of people. Please rise up."
As soon as the Seventh Patriarch raised his hand, Master Yuanci and others stood up from the ground, and then looked at the Seventh Patriarch respectfully.
Taking one step forward, the Seventh Patriarch came down from the lotus platform, but his eyes fell on Qin Yu.
With a slight smile, the Seventh Patriarch walked towards Qin Yu, "Master Qin, I haven't seen you for a long time."
"Long time no see, should I call you the Seventh Patriarch or the Son of Buddha now?" Qin Yu looked at the Seventh Patriarch and asked with a smile.
That's right, the Seventh Patriarch is a disciple of Buddha. He participated in the competition of the three major associations with Qin Yu and entered the thirty-six caves of heaven and paradise together.
When the three great masters competed, Qin Yu noticed that Buddha was special. There was a heart-stopping power hidden in Buddha's body. This monk, who was younger than himself, had a pair of eyes full of energy.
Eyes that understand the vicissitudes of life and wisdom.
Although Qin Yu was a little surprised that Buddha became the Seventh Patriarch, Qin Yu soon accepted this fact, because he had already guessed that among the monks he knew, only Buddha was the most likely to become the Seventh Patriarch.
Seventh Ancestor.
"Whether it's Buddha or the Seventh Patriarch, it's just a title, so why bother with appearances? Qin Guoshi is free to do it." Buddha smiled and replied.
"In that case, I'll call you Buddha. After all, this title has a special meaning, doesn't it?" Qin Yu replied meaningfully.
"Yes, when the three of us entered the Thirty-Six Cave Paradise together, the young monk also met Taoist Brother Lian Yunzi not long ago. I thought that when Taoist Brother Lian Yunzi came out, he would definitely give Master Qin a surprise."
"Oh, really?" Qin Yu was noncommittal, but he was wary in his heart.
Lian Yunzi and Fozi are the most talented peers he has ever met. Since Fozi has now become the Seventh Patriarch, and if Fozi can say something that can surprise him, then Lian Yunzi wants to show his strength.
There has also been rapid progress.
Qin Yuke still remembered that Lian Yunzi once said that if he made a breakthrough, he would definitely challenge him. With Lian Yunzi's character, since he would say this, he would definitely do it.
"Guoshi Qin, Taoist Brother Lian Yunzi once told me that this time when I leave the mountain, I will discuss it with Guoshi Qin again, but Taoist Brother Lian Yunzi asked me to confirm it with Guoshi Qin."
As soon as Fozi said these words, the entire Baoguo Temple fell into silence, and all the monks' faces became strange. It seemed that the Seventh Patriarch was going to take action against Qin Guoshi.
Several abbots from major temples who were present at the event of the Three Sessions Competition had also been there. Even those who had not been there had heard about it. In the competition of the Three Sessions, Qin Guoshi stood out and mastered the metaphysics with one person.
It was pulled to the first position.
In that competition, Qin Guoshi became famous. Even the Seventh Patriarch and Lian Yunzi performed much better than previous competitions, but they could not help but be overshadowed by Qin Guoshi's dazzling light and lost some of their luster.
Come to think of it, the Seventh Patriarch and Lian Yunzi were naturally a little unwilling to accept this result, but now that the Seventh Patriarch has returned to his position and his strength has grown by leaps and bounds, they plan to fight for the first place again.
For these monks in Baoguo Temple, they naturally hope to see such a scene. Because after the competition between the three associations, both the Taoist Association and the Buddhist Association were overwhelmed by the Metaphysical Association, and they were holding their breath in their hearts.
However, facing a proud man like Qin Guoshi, no matter how unwilling they are, they still know that with Qin Guoshi here, they will definitely belong to the Metaphysical Society in the next twenty years. For no other reason than Qin Guoshi is not old, so he is still
You can participate in several three-conference competitions.
In the entire metaphysics world, no one among his peers can be the opponent of Qin Guoshi. Let alone his peers, even looking at the entire metaphysics world, Qin Guoshi is already one of the few people standing at the top.
No matter how unwilling they are, the people from the Buddhist Association and the Taoist Association can only accept it and wait until Qin Guoshi's age exceeds the maximum age to participate in the three competitions, and then regain the ranking.
But now, for the people of the Buddhist Association and the many monks in Mount Emei, an opportunity has come.
Buddha became the Seventh Patriarch, and his strength increased greatly, and he could compete with Qin Guoshi.
Most of the monks in Mount Emei had excitement on their faces, but a small number of them had worries on their faces. The reason for their worries was because of the miracles Qin Guoshi had created in the past.
It can be said that since Qin Guoshi came to prominence, he has never been defeated no matter who or what force he faces. His journey along the way can be called a legend and a myth. Facing such a legendary and mythical man, the Seventh Patriarch can really suppress him.
The other party?
These monks lack confidence, even if they are the Seventh Patriarch, the first person in Buddhism after the Sixth Patriarch of Zen Buddhism.
Qin Yu smiled and stared at Fozi. The three of them had never had a direct confrontation back then, and he also wanted to know Fozi's background.
"Since Mr. Fo, you want to test it for Lian Yunzi, but if you want me to take action, then agree to one condition." Qin Yu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said towards Mr. Fo.
"Master Qin, please speak."
Qin Yu pointed at Haohao on one side. He believed that Yi Fozi's strength could tell the meaning of his finger.
"Born with six whirlpools, shaved from the world of mortals and six pure roots, he is naturally suitable to enter my Buddhist sect. Don't worry, Master Qin, I will cure his serious illness, and accept disciples on my behalf, and follow me from now on." Buddha replied.
As soon as the Buddha said these words, the old monk of Dabei Temple showed a look of regret on his face. He knew that this child had no fate with their Dabei Temple, and Dabei Temple was not qualified to compete with the Seventh Patriarch for disciples.
After hearing what Fozi said, Master Yuanci and others looked at Haohao. They did not see how special Haohao was before, but now after being reminded by Fozi, they finally saw it.
For Buddhists, those who are born with six vortexes are the most suitable people to practice Buddhism. In Buddhism, the six vortexes represent the six roots of a person, so Buddhism has shaving and ordination scars, just to make the six roots clean.
But how can the six roots be so clean? Many Buddhist disciples have obsessions in their hearts that they can't let go. But if they are born with six whirlpools, they can let go and achieve the true purity of the six roots. The study of Buddhism will make rapid progress.
There are only two whirlpools on the back of Haohao's head, but those two are only whirlpools on the surface, and there are four hidden whirlpools. Master Yuanci and others will not doubt the vision of the Seventh Patriarch, since the Seventh Patriarch said that this child was born with six whirlpools
, then it must be the six natural vortexes.
However, like the old monk of Dabei Temple, they did not dare to compete with the Seventh Patriarch for disciples. Even if the Seventh Patriarch liked the disciple of their temple, they would give it to them and be selected by the Seventh Patriarch. This in itself
They are an honor to these temples.
"No, my condition is to cure his disease, but it is not as good as Buddhism." Qin Yu slowly spoke and said to the Buddha one by one. (To be continued)
