"Infinite Life Buddha and Sakyamuni from the spiritual world came to visit the Taoist Master."
A Buddha chant sounded on Xiaoyao Island, and Xiong Tian, who had already learned about the message from Saint Yimu, had been waiting for a long time.
Xiong Tian, like Sakyamuni, is also at the level of quasi-sage perfection.
I have long heard about the miracle of Sakyamuni. When I saw it today, I saw solemnity, golden light and the Buddha's wheel appearing, and the mighty golden lotus under my feet.
"I have met my Taoist friend. Saint Yimu sent word to Pindao. Pindao has been waiting for me for a long time," Xiong Tiandao said.
From Shengxian Terrace to Xiaoyao Island, according to Sakyamuni's quasi-sage's perfect cultivation, it actually only takes less than three days.
But Sakyamuni did not, and it took him nearly a hundred years to come all the way.
Along the way, he was neither in a hurry nor slow, and seemed to be in control of a speed, an opportunity that would spread his name throughout the fairy world.
as expected.
In just one hundred years, the news that Sakyamuni, the leader of Buddhism in the spiritual world, came to the fairy world spread throughout the fairy world.
The strange thing is that Western Buddhism and Eastern people interpret the three religions without making the slightest move, as if the person coming is not the leader of Buddhism or the former "traitor" Duobao.
Even dragons, phoenixes, unicorns, lichs, etc., when they learned that Sakyamuni came to the immortal world and was going to visit Taichu, they pretended that Sakyamuni did not exist.
Visiting Taichu was the news that spread from the Immortal Platform. In this way, even those who disliked Sakyamuni would not dare to embarrass Sakyamuni on his way to visit Taichu.
Instead, these powerful saints began to ponder why Sakyamuni came.
Firstly, he did not go to the West, and secondly, he did not go to Tongtian Jin'ao Island. He first went to the Taichu Realm to visit Taichu, which seemed very deliberate and aroused everyone's curiosity.
Xiaoyao Island!
"Thank you, fellow Taoist Xiong Tian."
"please!"
"please!"
Following Xiong Tian, Sakyamuni entered Xiaoyao Island.
After entering, he sighed, "I have long heard that Xiaoyao Island, a holy land in the South China Sea, is indeed well-deserved. I believe that the entire ancient holy land of Taichu Realm will even surprise the poor monks and praise the Buddha Amitayus!"
"Infinite Taoist Master!" Xiong Tian followed up with a compliment. He added, "If you want to enter the Taichu Realm, Xiaoyao Island is the gateway. Since fellow Taoists yearn for the Taichu Realm very much, Pindao will take fellow Taoists to the Taichu Realm."
"Buddha Infinite Life, thank you for your work." Sakyamuni was very polite.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!"
Walking in a meandering way, enjoying the scenery along the way, may also be a kind of practice.
Looking at the mountains and scenery on Xiaoyao Island where Daoyun appeared, Sakyamuni couldn't help nodding, as if he had benefited a lot.
In front of the bronze gate, when Sakyamuni saw it, he suddenly stopped, immediately put his hands together and bent down to salute, saying: Immeasurable Taoist Lord!
There were many visitors to Taichu, and Xiong Tian saw countless of them.
But this is the first time someone is so unique, not just to show off, but a different kind of wisdom.
From these actions, Xiong Tian, whose cultivation was not weaker than Sakyamuni's, gained a hint of Mahayana Buddhism.
Every flower, every grass, every mountain and every water seems to be a miracle worth learning and admiring in the eyes of Sakyamuni.
Especially if it is made naturally, such as the suspended island of creation, or the gate with bronze Taoist rhyme, Sakyamuni would stop and praise it.
Just like the legendary legend about him, he could pick up flowers and smile, but his tears would turn into a lake.
"Buddha Amitayus, the poor monk has benefited a lot and benefited a lot."
Silently reciting the praises and Buddha's name, he followed Xiong Tian all the way to Taichu Realm.
The moment he entered, Sakyamuni clasped his hands again and knelt down solemnly to bow.
Inexplicably, Xiong Tian did not interrupt.
In the ancient times, the monks in the ancient times were even weirder. Xiong Tian had seen a lot, so he was no longer surprised. Unlike today's monks, they were just carved out of the same mold, lacking many weird behaviors and ways.
"It doesn't matter." Xiong Tian waved his hand and asked: "Fellow Taoist is very yearning for the ancient times, the ancient times? Or maybe you are very retro."
"Retro?" Sakyamuni smiled, "Perhaps, the poor monk just yearned for those two vast eras, when all living beings were different and each had their own way, ever-changing and wonderful. Unlike now, the 'Xuanmen way' has no
But it can be shaken that the prehistoric era has lost a lot of color. The poor monk has always believed that it is the most ideal to be pious step by step, to worship heaven and earth as teachers, and to seek the Tao in this way."
"Haha..." Xiong Tian smiled and said nothing. There were many opinions hidden in Sakyamuni's words, making it difficult to answer.
The idea that all living beings are different means that it is not good for Taoism to be the only one, and Buddhism should stand up.
What: All creatures are carved out of the same mold. Does this mean that Taoism is rigid and inflexible?
What: Yearning for the ancient times, the ancient times, does it mean that there are many heroes competing against each other, rather than one family being the only one now?
As for worshiping heaven and earth as teachers, is it saying that the big forces dominate one area, causing the strong to become stronger, and the weak have no chance to stand out, is it to declare that all living beings are equal in Buddhism?
...a lot of hidden content.
Xiong Tian is just a gatekeeper. He believes that the reason why he has always been valued by Tao Zun and can always be a gatekeeper for Tao Zun is because he has never been ambitious and followed what Tao Zun does.
So! No matter how big forces fight, no matter how saints fight, it is great wisdom to ignore or participate in it. Just pretend to be stupid.
Sakyamuni smiled because Xiong Tian, who was unwilling to accept salt and oil, did not expect to be able to persuade Xiong Tian.
And this is not strictly for Xiong Tian.
Where is this? This is Taichu Realm.
Sakyamuni thought, how could he hide every move he made from the Taoist Master?
This is something I dare not say to Tao Zun, so I want to convey it through ‘Xiong Tian’.
It seemed that he, Xiong Tian, also noticed it and didn't say a word. No matter how strange he was, he ignored it.
Okay, Sakyamuni simply stopped behaving strangely and followed Xiong Tian to visit Taichu.
…
In front of the Wuliang Suspended Dojo, the two gatekeepers were very familiar to Sakyamuni. They were Saint Zhen Yuanzi and Saint Nuwa. They were two saints who were not considered 'saints'. They looked like saints who had changed a lot.
Zhen Yuanzi and Nuwa have changed completely since they successfully attained enlightenment and opened heaven. They feel like they have returned to their true selves, without the majesty and rigidity of saints that make people feel uncomfortable.
A long, long time ago, Zhen Yuanzi was a bit dull, and a long, long time ago, Nuwa was a bit quiet and lovely.
Recently around Taichu, the two of them served Taichu and returned to their original era.
Holy Mother? Gone!
The leader of the first saint spiritual sect? No more!
They were dressed as disciples, and the two of them had been having a great time with Taichu recently, occasionally listening to the master's sermons, and occasionally practicing in retreat.
After no longer having the obligation to be the Holy Mother of the human race, and no longer having the responsibility to be the leader of the Spiritual Cult, they were handed over to Fuxi and Xudu. They found that after being saints for too long, it was better to be now.
"The younger generation Sakyamuni pays homage to the saint Zhen Yuanzi and pays homage to the saint Nuwa."
"Oh, you little guy is quite capable. He actually became the leader of Buddhism. You also say some strange words and do strange behaviors to show your thoughts. Why don't you learn from others? Senior Brother Yimu sent a message and said: You have nothing to do with Buddhism.
Same, why do I think it is still a Buddhist virtue?" Zhen Yuanzi's mouth was very bad.
Sakyamuni was stunned. Is this the most serious and arrogant saint he has ever seen, Saint Zhen Yuanzi?
Why is this like this?
"Well, senior brother, at least he dares to do it and has some cleverness to show off his ideas. Unlike the two shameless guys in the West, who only do things behind the scenes, giggle..."
Nuwa relieved Sakyamuni for a moment, and smiled at the end. The smiling Sakyamuni hurriedly recited: form is not different from emptiness, and emptiness is not different from color...
"Ha ha……"
"Kekeke..."
The appearance of Sakyamuni made Zhen Yuanzi and Nuwa burst into laughter.
This is not the first time that the two of them have lost their composure after seeing Hunyuan change.
The two of us feel a great sense of accomplishment. It’s great to get rid of the ‘stereotype’ of the saint and return to our true selves!
"Okay, come in with me. My master already knew that you were coming to take advantage of the situation." Zhen Yuanzi walked into the Taoist Palace with the shrouded Sakyamuni.
Sakyamuni believed that he was a stable Buddha with high wisdom and good vision.
But the two saints, whom they had met many times, suddenly destroyed all of their own advantages and returned to the ignorant and ignorant 'coquettish young man' who had just transformed.
…
The first time a person visited Taichu alone, Sakyamuni stabilized his mind and followed Zhen Yuanzi to the main hall.
On the cloud bed above the main hall, Taichu sat cross-legged. The moment Sakyamuni came in, Taichu's eyes opened.
After raising the money, Sakyamuni felt that he was swimming in the clouds, and he had a teleportation trip across the region, and then came to the sea of stars in the sky...
But no matter what I feel, I always find myself extremely small, as small as a grain of sand.
"Sakyamuni, bow down to the Supreme One, the Infinite Taoist Lord of the Beginning!"
After Taichu asked him to stand up, he suddenly asked something that made Sakyamuni feel confused.
"Did you know that there are four monkeys in the world?"
"Young people know that one of the witch clans, Xuan Zhan, is a six-eared macaque; the second demon clan, the demon king, is a red-breasted horse monkey; and the third one is Yuan Hong, the Seven Monsters of Meishan, who is a through-armed monkey. It's just the last one that juniors don't know.
But he knew that there was no need to hide anything, because it was useless.
After Sakyamuni finished speaking, Taichu nodded. Looking at Taichu's look, he wanted to tell the reason for asking.
Zhen Yuanzi, Nuwa and Xiong Tian, who were on the side, were very familiar with Tao Zun (Master)'s expression when he told him some secrets. They liked hearing this, so the three of them began to prick up their ears and listen carefully.
"The Four Monkeys of the Chaos World were originally the Chaos Demon Apes in the Age of Chaos. They were the Demon Gods of War, and their laws of war were all-encompassing. When Pangu opened the sky, they were divided into four parts by Pangu because they hindered Pangu. Half of their origins gave birth to all the apes and monkeys in the prehistoric era.
The original origins disappeared between heaven and earth, but the last four original origins became the four monkeys in the world, the six-eared macaque, the red-necked horse monkey, and the thong-armed ape."
"And this last monkey is the Lingming Stone Monkey. It has not yet transformed. It is the sacred stone from the Eastern Immortal Mountain in the spiritual world that you have spied on before but did not know about."
After saying this, Sakyamuni finally understood the purpose of Taoist Master telling him about the four monkeys in the world.
It turns out that the Buddhist disciple I deduced, a person with great luck, turned out to be the Lingming Stone Monkey.
And Taichu said again: "This Lingming Stone Monkey is the most extraordinary. Previously, because it landed on the backbone of Pangu Sky Support in Zhoushan Mountain, it was almost assimilated and even disappeared and could not appear. Later, Yuanshi pierced the sky, and I stopped supporting Zhoushan Mountain.
A piece of chalcedony was cut off from the chalcedony and handed over to Nuwa to refine the stone to mend the sky...! Nuwa, do you remember the last piece of colorful sacred stone left when you mended the sky?"
Nuwa happened to be here. Hearing that she was related to him, Nuwa suddenly remembered it.
I remember that it was the decisive battle between the lich and the demons. Saint Yuanshi wanted to assassinate the demon clan, but he hit the Master's Taichu Purple Lotus, causing it to pierce the sky.
At that time, I was refining stones to mend the sky, and I had a piece of the five-colored sacred stone left. At that time, I also wondered why there was an extra piece of chalcedony given to me by my master. This was obviously a mistake.
At that time, I had discovered that the five-color sacred stone was not simple, so I lost it on the ancient land.
It's been a long time since I thought about it now. If Master hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten it. But when I mentioned it, I remember it vividly.
"Master, I remember that I also felt it was magical at that time."
"Yes, it was me who chopped off an extra piece of chalcedony for you to mend the sky, and the five-colored sacred stone refined from that chalcedony is the psychic stone monkey. If I hadn't chopped off the chalcedony from Zhoushan Mountain, he would not be able to exist."
Nuwa was startled and asked: "Master, were you there at that time?"
"Yes, I felt at that time that this psychic stone monkey had a connection with the West and could carry great luck, so I saved him."
After saying this, Sakyamuni was so frightened that he almost sat down.
Think about it, how long has it been since the Lich War?
At that time, the Three Realms had not yet taken shape, there was no spiritual world at that time, and there was no Buddhism?
At that time, Tao Zun planned to this day, I...?
Sakyamuni reshaped the Three Views, and heard his former master Tongtian talk about the magic of Taoist. It is said that in the entire prehistoric era, there is no place where Taoist does not exist. If you explore carefully, you will find that Taoist’s layout is everywhere.
Better than the way of heaven.
Looking back now, Sakyamuni just wanted to say: Tongtian, my former teacher, what you said is really right.
What could Sakyamuni do? He could only say: "Thank you, Taoist Master, for giving me the opportunity of Western Buddhism."
"It's not like that, it's not for you. I just felt there was a chance at that time. I didn't know the specific deity at the time. Now that you are here, I only remembered it after deducing it." Taichu said.
"Huh!" Sakyamuni breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: Taoist Master is not omniscient.
He didn't know that Taichu had lied to him. Not only was the Lingming Stone Monkey brought to the spiritual world from the fairy world by Taichu, but the origin of the Demon God of Light and Darkness was also brought there by Taichu.
Taichu only told him less than 30% of the secret, but he still hid 70% of the secret?
"When you come to the immortal world, in addition to borrowing power from me, do you also want to discuss sharing merits with the major forces?" Taichu asked.
"Reporting to the Taoist Master, this junior indeed thinks so. Rise and decline are inevitable in a cycle. Wherever there is prosperity, there will be decline. As long as the junior and the major forces explain it clearly, they will not stop me from the prosperity of Buddhism. Because behind the prosperity is decline.
As for how our Buddhism can retain strength from decline and make a comeback like the previous three tribes and lichs, it all depends on the wisdom of my Buddhism." Sakyamuni sighed.
"Good!" Taichu nodded.
Taichu said again: "There are precedents to learn from. It can indeed be done, and the big forces will support it. However, if your Buddhism wants to break away from the constraints of cause and effect, and if you want to be as simple as the Three Pure Ones, it will exceed your expectations."
It's a kind reminder, can you understand the wisdom of looking at Tathagata, Yingyin and Zhunti?
Zulong, Zufeng, and Zulin merged into one another and merged with the way of heaven. Only then did they get rid of the control of fate, and there was no cause and effect from now on.
The lich suffered heavy losses. One of them suppressed the blood sea forever, while the other lost and fled the endless sea. Only then did they get rid of the control of fate.
The Sanqing Dynasty, the first cause and effect after Long Han, experienced suppression, disasters, and the catastrophe of becoming a god. Only then did it get rid of the control of fate, and there was no cause and effect from now on.
So Buddhism or Western Buddhism also wants to learn from these people to get rid of the shackles of cause and effect of heaven and earth, and break away from the control of their own destiny? It cannot be ended by a simple journey to the west.
Taichu understood very well that Buddhism is the first cause and effect that promotes the development of the ancient world after the Three Pure Ones return to their true self.
If they want to repay the karma and return to themselves, it is much more difficult than the three purifications.
The legacy of Pangu in the Three Qing Dynasties has become the first cause and effect after Long Han, and it has been dominated for so long.
It is impossible for the two people in the West, who once made forty-nine great aspirations to become saints, to fulfill their dreams just by traveling to the West.
Demonic calamity is it!
Journey to the West is just an appetizer.
Obviously, the last sentence of Taichu, "It's not that simple" made Sakyamuni stunned for a while, and he didn't understand what it meant?
But Taichu has closed his eyes and said nothing, and is trying to drive people away.
Zhen Yuanzi and Nuwa left with Sakyamuni who still wanted to ask but didn't dare.
This line……
Sakyamuni's wish came true.
Not only did he borrow momentum from Taichu, Taichu also generously told him that Lingming Stone Monkey had achieved his goal.
…
ps: It’s settled, the recommendation on the 26th is over, with an explosion of 40,000 words.
