Yichun City is a small city under the jurisdiction of the Great Freedom Palace in the Demon Realm at the northeastern end of Xuanyin. Although it is located in the extreme region, it has distinct solar terms and a suitable climate. Some time ago, after the city lord came out of seclusion, he ordered the city wall to be demolished and ordered the monks to cast spells.
The streets were widened and extended, connecting the surrounding mountains and rivers, and new villages and houses were built, attracting investment from all directions. Now, Yichun has spread over thousands of miles, and is home to thousands of people, and is prosperous.
Such a scene attracted endless praise from the Lord of the Great Freedom Palace, who sent envoys to commend him and issued a decree to grant Yichun autonomy.
On this day, a visiting monk came to Yichun. He descended from the clouds and walked slowly on foot. He saw beautiful mountains and clear water, birds singing and flowers fragrant, houses standing tall, and people walking around. laymen and monks lived together, walking side by side, and even sat opposite each other while drinking wine. There was no hierarchy.
It's so dense. While the wandering monk looked around carefully, he couldn't help but clasped his hands and exclaimed, "Amitabha! How good it is! How good it is!"
When I arrived at the city lord's mansion, I saw the door open again and a long queue of ordinary people. When I asked, I found out that after the city lord came out of seclusion, he felt the drastic changes in the world and the number of monks. He reopened the convenient door and provided free spiritual tests.
The wandering monk then asked, "This is a demonic realm. What if spiritual roots suitable for other practices can be found?"
Someone next to him laughed and said, "How can there be spiritual roots suitable for other kinds of cultivation in the Demon Realm? If there is such a one-ten-thousandth chance, the Great Freedom Palace will plant the demon seeds first and then send them out of the Demon Realm."
"Yes! When the time comes, we will still be the people of the Demon Realm, the people of the Great Self Palace!"
.....
People living in the Demon Realm, especially those born and raised here, do not know the difference between good and evil. They were discussing so "patriotically" that the wandering monk smiled slightly, did not interrupt, and went straight to the vermilion gate of the city lord's palace to report.
Named "Miaoxu".
After a while, there was a surge inside, and a middle-aged male cultivator with an aquiline nose was seen walking quickly, surrounded by a group of demon cultivators. It turned out to be the city lord Ying Fei, who came out to greet him personally and gave a very respectful salute. This wandering monk,
But he just nodded slightly, without returning the courtesy, and walked into the city lord's mansion with great swagger.
After arriving in a quiet room with no one else around, Ying Fei suddenly transformed into a handsome young man in his late twenties, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. Outside the black robe, a light golden light flowed, and his aura was like Confucianism or Buddhism.
The young man looked at the wandering monk deeply, then put his palms together and saluted, "Disciple Shenqian has met the master."
This wandering monk was Wuxu. At this moment, when he saw Shen Qian bowing like this and speaking like this, he couldn't help but sigh and said slowly, "Previously, I just told you some essentials of Buddhism to lead you to practice. Now you have a great destiny."
Dharma is no longer a member of the Buddhist sect, so you and I can treat each other as fellow Taoists."
Seeing that Shen Qian seemed to be trying to defend himself, Wuxu waved his hand, "Everyone has Buddha nature, and they don't have to be in Buddhism to be of the same kind. You sent me a message and mentioned that there is a space-time tunnel here. I don't know what it is? Can you take me with you?
One view.”
Shen Qian's face turned red, he pondered for a moment, and then said, "I waited until I arrived in the Demon Realm. In order to avoid being hunted, I wandered around. I accidentally discovered a strange place near Yichun City, which connected me to a strange world. It was bizarre and absurd.
It’s unbearable. Just a few days ago, the eldest princess ordered that this place be closed.”
Is this place sealed? Wuxu felt unhappy. I was previously summoned to come and have a quick look, but now I was told that it was weird and ridiculous, so I was sealed.
"Why is it banned? Is it because of the so-called weirdness and absurdity? Didn't you mention it as the future world in the summons before? The so-called future world naturally has many novelties." Wu Xu asked in a deep voice.
Shen Qian smiled bitterly and explained in a low voice, "Shen Qian was shocked when he saw that world. He mistakenly thought it was the future world, so he hurriedly sent a message. However, we checked with many parties and found that there was no aura or monks in that world.
Is this the future world? It must be the abandoned cave world left by a certain powerful monk. After much discussion, the eldest princess ordered the entrance to the passage to be sealed."
Wuxu sneered in his heart, "Can you describe the scene in the cave world?"
"Shen Qian remembers some scenes in that strange world." Shen Qian nodded repeatedly and pointed out pictures in the air with his index finger, "It's just that this world is so bizarre and absurd that I hope it won't be spread to anyone else.
"
Wuxu silently looked at those fleeting scenes, then turned and left.
It was difficult to intercept Shenqian, so he only said loudly from behind, "Master, I always talk about compassion. Now Xuanyin has changed suddenly, the Great Zhou Dynasty has been usurped, and ordinary people have completely reduced to ants. Master was originally an ordinary person,
How can we remain indifferent?"
Wuxu turned around and looked at Shen Qian, "Compassion is an emotion, and it cannot change the inherent fact that ordinary people are just ants; saving all living beings is a wish, opening the door to convenience, so that all living beings can escape as soon as possible.
The sea of suffering soon leads to bliss."
"We are trying to save all sentient beings and escape from the sea of suffering." Shen Qian said, "We want to rebuild the Great Zhou Dynasty and unify Xuanyin. When Master is in Yongzhou, isn't it just to move the common people, set up checkpoints, and protect them with large formations? Isn't it the same?
?”
Wuxu shook his head and continued walking out.
But then he saw a flash of light in front of him, and two figures slowly descended, a man and a woman, sitting at the stone table in the middle of the flower garden, blocking him in front of him.
The man is an old man with white hair. He has bright eyes and a slender figure. He is wearing the marshal uniform of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He is sitting there calmly and powerfully. The woman has regular facial features, light makeup, and a gorgeous figure.
Zhou's palace robe is long and dragged on the clean bluestone slab, and his demeanor is calm and graceful.
Wuxu stopped and vaguely guessed the identities of these two people.
"I am the eldest princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I take the liberty to ask here." I heard the woman sitting there, motionless, only slightly opening her lips and teeth.
Wuxu
, he could only clasp his hands and said, "The young monk has met the eldest princess and asked the eldest princess to speak clearly."
"The ancestors were ordinary people, and they established the country with the power of ordinary people. At the beginning of the founding of the country, they set the ancestral precepts to protect the ordinary people. All dynasties followed it and each had their own policies. The so-called compassion is to be open to convenience.
The door to save all sentient beings. I would like to ask Master Wuxu, does it mean that I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, have opened a door for convenience by protecting the common people?" The eldest princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty spoke slowly.
Wuxu thought for a while, and although he wanted to deny it, he finally had to answer, "Of course it opens up all kinds of convenient methods."
"Nowadays, monks go to heaven and only focus on spiritual practice. They are expelled from the world and become ants. How can we, the righteous people, remain indifferent?"
Wuxu smiled bitterly in his heart and asked, "But I wonder if the eldest princess has any good ideas?"
"Rebuild the Great Zhou Dynasty and unify Xuanyin. The common people are the foundation, and the monks are the branches and leaves. The monks should hide from the world and live in seclusion, and must not disturb the people. The three sects of Confucianism and Taoism can send disciples into the world to spread the law and teach."
After hearing these words, Wuxu knew that the eldest princess must have entered the future world with her spiritual consciousness, and then she could assess the situation and decide on such a strategy.
Xuanyin's sudden change and reform were jointly planned by some members of the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the six sects, and no one could stop it. When the three-star war between Xuanyin, Xuanyang, and Netherworld began, the battle gradually became more intense, and the elite Xuanyin monks "ascended"
"Go to Heaven" and settled in the Zhoutian Star Formation. The eldest princess and her party had just ended their days of hiding in Tibet and began to use Yichun as a base to plan strategies.
"The eldest princess has a good strategy, but the young monk doesn't want to participate." Wuxu stretched out his five fingers and said leisurely, "The various methods of convenience in the Great Zhou are ultimately still mundane laws. Although there are kind intentions and good deeds, they cannot truly save sentient beings."
A cold snort sounded like thunder in his ears. Wuxu stopped, only to realize that there was a ghost shadow of a spear in the sea, flashing past, as graceful as a dragon.
"In this world, it is natural to follow the laws of this world. Do you think everyone will worship you as a Buddhist disciple and become a monk?" The white-haired old man said softly, holding a teacup in his hand.
Wuxu saluted the old man, "You all practice the mundane Dharma, and the young monk practices the transcendental Dharma. Isn't it wonderful?"
"Since we are in the mortal world, worldly laws are indispensable and are the foundation. Let me ask you, if all living beings cannot live in peace and become ants, how can they practice transcendental laws?" The eldest princess slowly stood up and looked at the unknown distance, "
What’s more, the transcendental Dharma is not limited to Buddhist Dharma, but Taoism and Confucianism all have methods of practice.”
Wuxu replied, "All Dharmas are Buddhist Dharma, and the Dharma practiced by Taoists and Confucianists is also Dharma. Even if the Dharma era ends in the future, as long as people's hearts are good, there are Dharma to practice. It is not called Dharma, but it is Dharma."
Wuxu said this, the eldest princess said no more, and the white-haired old man was still sitting there, with a big golden sword, and one man could stop ten thousand people from breaking it. Wuxu could not pass, and looked up at the sky for a long time. Suddenly,
Youyou said, "When the young monk was in the capital of Zhou Dynasty, by chance, he got a six-yuan blessing order. It is said that there is something in it.
The imprint of divine consciousness left by the six Tongxuan masters. In order not to show off, the young monk has been storing it deep in the Dharma Realm, isolating all breath and induction. The six Tongxuan masters must be in the Zhoutian star formation above at this moment.
If the young monk takes out the Six-Yuan Blessing Order, I don’t know if they can sense it."
The white-haired old man suddenly stood up, straightened his waist, and glared angrily at Wuxu. Wuxu felt that the scene around him changed. The sky and the earth were in a state of confusion. Only in front of him, a spear stood proudly, shining with golden light.
Look directly.
"Commander, Master wants to practice the transcendental Dharma, which is also a blessing to all living beings." The eldest princess said "Commander," and the surrounding scene immediately returned to its original state.
"Master came all the way to the secret realm of time and space and went with me." The eldest princess was silent for a moment and then said again.
The eldest princess and the white-haired old man were in front, and Shen Qian accompanied Wuxu behind. They flew out of Yichun City and soon came to a secret place, like a paradise. The climate was like spring, the flowers and plants were luxuriant, and there were many common things, making it a happy place.
In its central area, the palace is majestic, surrounded by spiritual energy, shining clouds, and dancing dragons and phoenixes for protection.
When we arrived at a hall, it was empty.
"At that time, only the divine consciousness could enter the secret realm of space and time." The eldest princess said as she raised her hand to make a series of seals on the east wall.
After a while, the solid wall turned into ripples, and a deep cave entrance loomed. Wuxu was about to release his consciousness, but saw that the cave entrance was getting bigger and bigger, and then gradually disappeared, only to see a picture coming towards him, covering the entire place.
East wall.
The secret realm of time and space here is actually different from the Jueshen Valley. Wuxu entered with his spiritual consciousness and looked carefully. This world is actually more futuristic than the world he was in back then. Wuxu carefully recalled the comparison and found that the economy was more globalized, despite opposition.
The sound of technology is becoming more advanced. The most obvious point is that there are many so-called Internet of Things and intelligence, and communication is faster.
As time goes by, parallel computing becomes more mature, and data begins to be integrated and aggregated, leading to many novel applications. These applications are like monks' magical powers, even more convenient and subtle. There are many things that even Wuxu has seen for the first time; he has never seen them in his previous life.
, I can see it this time. For example, the so-called face recognition did not exist in Wuxu's previous life, and I can only see it now.
Wuxu looked carefully, until he was tired, and then he came to the conclusion, but he saw that the eldest princess and others were already sitting upright, waiting for him.
"Senior brother, you just faced the wall and wandered inside. What do you think?" Shen Qian asked respectfully.
Wuxu pondered for a moment, and then replied, "In this future world, science and technology develop, and ordinary people can use it, if they have supernatural powers."
At this time, the eldest princess intervened and said, "Master must not know that the future world here is very likely to be the future world of the human world."
Wuxu was startled and looked at his face
The solemn eldest princess asked, “What proof do you have?”
Thinking back to the beginning, Wuxu came to this world inexplicably and was reborn in the Hualien Miaofa Sect in Mount Lushan. He often stood alone on the mountain and was in a trance, thinking that he was reborn in another parallel time and space. This time and space also included the late Yuan Dynasty and the early Ming Dynasty, as well as historical figures such as Zhu Yuanzhang.
But there are more monks flying all over the sky. Recently, Wuxu entered the demonic realm and successively visited the Jueshen Valley and
Here, Wuxu looked at the future world without seeing a monk, so he thought he had passed through the time and space tunnel and saw the world he was in (and the future). But in any case, Wuxu always believed that the current time and space was different from his previous (past life)
Time and space are parallel time and space. Unexpectedly, the eldest princess said at this moment that they were not parallel, but the same.
"This is the conclusion reached after joint calculations by the three great monks of Tianwaitian." The eldest princess replied leisurely, "There are no monks in the world and have nothing to do with Tianwaitian."
Wuxu thought for a moment, "If that's true, there's nothing wrong with it."
The eldest princess smiled slightly, but did not say anything more about it. She just said to Shen Qian, "Since the master has come here for a visit, please send the master out."
Shen Qian looked at Wuxu with regret on his face.
Wuxu smiled, stood up, put his hands together and nodded to the eldest princess and the white-haired old man as a farewell.
Shen Qian sent Wuxu to the outside of Yichun City. When he was leaving, he finally couldn't help but say, "Big changes are coming. Senior brother, it's better to make plans in advance. It's hard for Yongzhou, a small city, to resist the general trend."
Wuxu smiled and said, "Xuanyin is so big that it can't accommodate a small Yongzhou? If the eldest princess wants to rebuild the Zhou Dynasty, she may be really difficult to defeat."
Shen Qian immediately became solemn and said seriously, "With the common people in mind, we will follow the eldest princess to rebuild the Great Zhou Dynasty, even though tens of millions of people will also go!"
The words were not congenial, and the two said no more, and then parted.
After leaving Yichun, Wuxu was still like a wandering monk, flying and traveling. The scenery in the far north area under the jurisdiction of the Great Freedom Palace is naturally unique. Sometimes there are white mountains and black waters, rugged peaks, and sometimes there are plains thousands of miles away, with trees growing wildly on them and as hard as a rock.
Iron, seen from a distance, looks vast and wild.
Although Wuxu knew that this was a natural scene created by heaven and earth, he still had some flaws in his heart and was a little unhappy in the end. However, at this time, this scene seemed to suit his mood. Therefore, Wuxu continued to wander around casually.
"Master, what do you want?!"
"Someone will come to my Great Freedom Palace later, and I'm afraid the master will not be able to eat and carry around!"
...
A burst of noise reached Wuxu's ears. Wuxu looked down and saw two demon cultivators pestering a monk. He was furious, but he had no choice; otherwise, they would have taken action long ago. There were also more than a hundred ordinary people, afraid
He stood cowering behind the two demon cultivators, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
"Amitabha, this poor monk wants to save all sentient beings, why don't you two do something convenient?" The monk sat there with his eyebrows lowered and his palms clasped together.
"Master, if we take away these ordinary people, we will be punished when we go back. Life is worse than death. Master, it is better to kill us now."
"That's all! Let's kill these ordinary people for now, and then Master will kill us."
One of the demon cultivators said that he was about to take action.
As soon as the Buddha's trumpet sounded, his whole body was frozen and he could not move. Another demon cultivator, seeing that the situation was not good, wanted to fly away. He lost his desperate temper just now, but he was also frozen and unable to move in the air.
Those ordinary people immediately knelt down on the ground and worshiped.
The monk slowly raised his head, faced Wuxu, and said with a smile, "Master Wuxu, long time no see."
Wuxu took a closer look and couldn't help being surprised and happy. He hurriedly flew down and bowed and saluted, "Wuxu has met Master Yuanfa."
It turned out to be Master Yuanfa! For a moment, Wuxu had many questions he wanted to ask.
Master Yuanfa waved his hand slightly, pointed at the ordinary people kneeling on the ground in front of him, and then pointed at the two demon cultivators who were immobilized, "What should I do according to what Master Wuxu sees?"
Wuxu thought for a while and said, "For ordinary people, the master might as well take him with him, and these two demon cultivators will be saved and used as protectors."
Master Yuanfa sighed, "The Great Freedom Palace is not like the Heaven-defying Alliance, and the Tiancan Sect is a real demon from outside the world. How can these ordinary people be so considerate as they follow the poor monks?"
Wuxu was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Yichun City?"
Master Yuanfa, put your palms together and chant, "Amitabha!"
Yichun! Yichun!
Wuxu looked at Yichun from a distance for a moment, then put his palms together and faced Master Yuanfa, "Worldly laws are worldly laws, and transcendental laws are transcendental laws. The master is compassionate and saves all living beings. However, all living beings have their own causes and conditions, even if they are like the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Protect and help. Throughout the ages, there have been so many people with lofty ideals and heroes who have come forward one after another.
Don’t you see that the Longevity Monument has become rare over the years. There are empty wine shops in Yongzhou City.”
Master Yuanfa clasped his hands and sighed, "If this is so, what is happening in front of you? The World Honored One came into the world to preach, passed away in Nirvana, why don't we follow his example and imitate him? This is to spread the Dharma, protect the Dharma, and promote the Dharma, not to mention the age of the end of the Dharma in future generations."
Master Yuanfa must have entered the time and space tunnel in Yichun and seen the future world.
Wu Xu, was silent for a long time, and finally put his palms together and said, "Master said this, Wu Xu has nothing to say, and I respect the master's decree."
Master Yuanfa smiled slightly and said, "In that case, I will follow the poor monk to send these ordinary people back to Yichun."
As the saying goes
All laws in the world are in the cycle of cause and effect.
For more than a thousand years during the Great Zhou Dynasty, ordinary people are still like ants.
The Longevity Monument is still there, and a vacant wine shop is erected.
But out of compassion, Yichun faced the wall again.
