In the past, when the demonic tide destroyed the world, the World Honored One walked barefoot in the wasteland to save the common people.
Just such a linen garment and a bamboo hat.
Like a beam of light from the sky shining into the wasteland, countless lives were saved and countless terrified souls were comforted.
During that difficult time, the Blessed One himself was also confused, confused, and searching.
According to records in Buddhist scriptures, the number of people who followed Him at that time was at most three thousand, and at the least there was only one person left.
The only one left is Manjusri, known as "the supreme wisdom".
Manjushri's unyielding pursuit of the World Honored One is also known in the Buddhist scriptures as "Three Thousand Kalpas of Destruction and One Life of Destiny". After this, Samantabhadra came.
Samantabhadra governs virtues and practices, systematically organizes the Sutras of the Buddha, builds Mahayana Buddhism, and helps build the Supreme Pure Land.
But with the company of Manjushri, which symbolizes wisdom and virtue, the earliest prototype of the Pure Land was born in the aura.
After countless years, Manjusri finally saw his face again!
He was mad, sad, and out of control.
Finally he chewed it alone.
He had infinite resentment and infinite grievances, all of which turned into sorrow.
"I……"
Manjusri slumped down on the mountain road and cried.
The barefoot and linen-robed monk did not speak, but lowered his head slightly and looked at Him warmly.
The wind and clouds in the sky were rolling, forming the face of a giant Buddha.
This Buddha's face shows more compassion and magnificence than the Buddha's original appearance.
"You said you never betrayed - where were you when the Lord died?!"
Ksitigarbha's loud voice was like thunder rumbling in his ears, causing Jiang Wang's ears to burst with blood!
With his control over his voice, he was stung by every word he heard.
This is still the result of Kunpeng's heavenly protection.
Of course, at this moment, he was also spinning in the Kunpeng Heavenly State, and could no longer maintain that calm posture.
"I'm here! Why am I not here?!"
The dirty water man cried loudly: "I was beside him, and I watched him die!"
The face of the giant Buddha seems to be completely embedded in the dome. It sinks down in an instant, and sinks thousands of feet in an instant, almost swallowing you into His mercy!
"Why are you just watching?"
"In the past, I taught the sutra to you, but you held the sutra and were speechless."
"How did the World Honored One die back then? Tell me!!"
In a battle between transcendent beings, it would be extremely difficult to have such an intuitive display of differences.
But as a sinless heavenly being from the Yiluo tribe, he happens to be in the sky and the sea, and the power he relies on is suppressed by Ksitigarbha in all directions - just like the World Honored One in front of him!
Even if He was given a thousand or ten thousand chances, He would not be able to take action against the World Honored One.
The giant Buddha's face kept falling, and the terrifying pressure continued to intensify.
The eyes of the Sinless Heavenly Man immediately burst open.
A bloody flower exploded and spread in all directions.
The filthy water man turned into a blood-streaked man!
"How come the Tathagata died, how eternal is the silence - tell me!"
The eyes of the giant Buddha not only reflected the filthy water man kneeling on the mountain road, but also vaguely reflected a turbid sea. In the boundless turbid sea, floating and sinking, there was a lotus-shaped scripture, which was gradually becoming clear...
Tantai Manjusri, who was kneeling on the mountain path with tears streaming down his face and blood all over his body, suddenly raised his hand to support the mountain steps!
His tears fell on the stone steps, and he tapped out a line of straight and upright Tao characters——
"Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman strives to constantly strive for self-improvement!"
His back seemed to be held up by these words. It was in these words that He found strength and the courage to live forever. He held up the mountain steps and himself, and just raised his head.
Complex air currents rise like dragons.
Manjusri raised his head, and all the energy opened up to the sky!
Qiankun Qing Qi, Haoran Zheng Qi, green blood elixir heart, elixir heart red Qi, dragon transformation Qi...
Thirty-six literary energies are flowing around me, either as green bamboos with knots or as red dragons in the sky, weaving such beautiful clouds for Him.
He has cultivated thirty-six kinds of literary skills and achieved the eternal literary heart. He is the first Confucian school in the contemporary era, second only to the most sage Confucius! And he does not belong to any of the four major academies, nor is he in Shushan
The sea of learning is hidden deep in the sea of evil.
The clouds of literary energy and scenery were put away as soon as they were released, as if they were collected into Tantai Manjusri's belt. After tying up his waist, he looked a little thin, but became more straight and straight. He was once again facing the monk in sackcloth and the giant Buddha in the sky.
The scriptures in the eyes of the giant Buddha disappeared! The turbid sea was also invisible.
"The World Honored One is dead..." Tantai Manjusri murmured.
"The Lord is dead!" He shouted.
He suddenly stood up, and a pair of blood-red eyes popped out of his eye sockets! At this moment, the fierce flames jumped around him, even the approaching Buddha's light was incinerated, and even turned towards the giant Buddha. The red flames flashed
Climbing the entire Wuzhifan Mountain, all kinds of strange monsters appeared...
Lingshan is full of evil views!
Only at this moment did He truly embody the posture of the Three Evils of the Niehai Sea!
The monk in sackcloth standing in front of Him, looking at Him so warmly, was gone.
As He understood, the Blessed One will never return.
"Although the World-Honored One is dead, his ambition will last forever." The face of the giant Buddha came down from the sky: "The Ksitigarbha cave is reached, and it is empty and empty. I will keep my ambition forever, for my eternity -"
Peng!
A ball of fierce flames rushed towards me. It was like a dragon entering the sea and a tiger descending from the mountain.
The ferocious flames completely enveloped Ksitigarbha's golden body, and at this time, all kinds of literary energy were tumbling in it. The ferocious flames jumped fiercely! They were so blazing!
Manjusri pointed his finger and said: "You call me lucky, and you call me prosperous!"
According to "The Six Meanings of Bhagavan" - "The Tathagata's fierce flames of wisdom reach out to no end, so it is called blazing!"
Ksitigarbha was burned by the evil flames, but he did not resist. His golden body turned into golden droplets, making the evil flames even more intense. In the fire, He was just so sad and looked at Tantai Manjusri so compassionately, reaching out to Him.
Buddha's Palm: "Manjushri, believe me, everything is still too late. Everything is not over yet - come with me, we will realize the ideal of the World Honored One."
"Kneel down." Tantai Manjusri said.
Ksitigarbha looked at Him.
Tantai Manjusri said: "Kneel down to me, repent to me, and give me your equality - I will talk to you about my ideals again."
Ksitigarbha showed no anger at all, and only said kindly: "If this is the only way, you will find your way back..."
"I have seen the World-Honored One kneel down." Tantai Manjusri calmly recounted: "In order to save an old beggar who was paralyzed on the roadside begging for food because of the evil energy in his marrow, He, who had exhausted all his magical powers, knelt down to suck the old man's evil sores.
——The old man only lived three more days."
"Saving sentient beings is the goal, how to save them is just a means." The ferocious flames burned Ksitigarbha until he was a little thin! The golden liquid dropped like a waterfall of sweat, and he just said: "It's okay to cut the flesh to feed the eagles, but we don't need to do this now.
."
"Of course, I completely believe that you are sincere in what you say." Tantai Manjusri felt a little sad for no reason: "But you are not the World Honored One, and you can never become the World Honored One."
Ksitigarbha Jinhan said in a trembling voice: "Great kindness does not stop at small deeds, but it is not limited to small deeds. Why do you need to stick to appearances?"
Manjusri looked at Him: "Now you are looking for me to tell stories. How much do you remember about me?"
Ksitigarbha also looked at Him: "We might as well get to know each other again."
Manjusri let out a 'hehe': "I was raised by humans when I was a child. My mother walked into the Yiluo River and gave birth to me in the water, but she did not send me out of the water - because she died. My father died in
Earlier, it was just to buy time for my mother to give birth to me. I went down the river and was adopted by a human couple."
"The ones who killed my parents were humans, and the ones who raised me were also humans. I don't know whether to hate or love."
"Later, I didn't have to think about this problem anymore - because my human parents also died. They died in the demonic tide that swept everything."
"I have lived alone in this world for a long time, not knowing what the meaning of life is or where to go. Until one day, I met the World Honored One."
"When I first met Him, He was still very weak, even inferior to me at that time. But He was already exploring the truth of the world, searching for the root of all suffering, and looking for answers to save all sentient beings."
"The living beings he talks about are not just the Yiluo clan, not just humans, but all the heavens and all realms, all living beings and sentient beings."
"I was impressed by His character and ignited by His ideals. From then on, I followed Him until His death..."
Manjusri's deep voice gradually disappeared, then raised up, his eyes blazing: "You have had such power from the moment you were born. Do you know what sentient beings are? What do you want to tell me - where is the future?
What does ideal look like? Should I love or hate?"
Jiang Wang struggled and rolled in the whirlpool of swallowing. Hearing this paragraph intermittently, his heart moved.
Doesn’t it mean that the Yiluo people are born as heavenly beings? How could they not have power?
You can mobilize the power of heaven when you are born, so you should never have anything to do with the "weak"...
I didn’t think about it carefully before, but now that I think about it, something is indeed wrong——
The compassion of the World Honored One indeed seems to go beyond the realm of gods and humans.
Because the way of heaven itself does not care about anyone's life or death.
Jiang Wang himself was also emotionally indifferent in his heavenly and human state, and his emotions gradually dissipated.
From this point of view, the compassion of the World-Honored One is more than that of gods and humans. It is kinder than most people, and it is true compassion that is rare in the world!
Because the Yiluo tribe has long since disappeared, there are few chapters in history. People today need to constantly revise their understanding when looking at the past.
Jiang Wang suddenly realized that his understanding of the Yiluo clan was not accurate.
Because the Yiluo tribe is the successor to the order created by Heaven, and is an attempt by "celestial beings" to replace "human beings", it is not correct to hastily equate the Yiluo tribe with the current heavenly beings.
Perhaps most of the Yiluo people are like this, but after all, they exist as human beings. So there will be some differences among them.
Every free creature has free will.
Only the heavenly beings who are eternally trapped in the sky and the sea are the heavenly beings who completely follow the rules of heaven.
For example, he got close and broke away several times, and Wu Zhaixue turned into Qihen.
The Yiluo tribe is a tribe of celestial beings and was once considered a part of the human race. Every Yiluo tribe member also has his or her own desires.
For example, the World Honored One, Tantai Manjusri, and Ksitigarbha now!
This leads to a more critical question——
The ideal of the World Honored One!
The World Honored One regarded "all living beings as equals" as his long-cherished wish. Throughout his life, he preached to all realms and practiced it personally.
Is heaven equal?
Heaven favors the Monster Clan between the Human Race and the Monster Clan, and favors the Yiluo Clan between the Yiluo Clan and other ethnic groups. From this perspective, it seems that they are not so equal.
But fundamentally speaking, Tiandao only pursues the maintenance of world order. Whoever is more in line with the existing order, who can better maintain the rules of Tiandao, and who can better protect the world will be favored by Tiandao. This is of course also a kind of fairness.
.
Heaven only cares about the order itself. It does not care about who is close to the order.
If the human race can completely turn to the way of heaven, then the human race will also be favored - this is the heavenly being that Jiang Wang once achieved and escaped.
But the equality of all living beings that the World Honored One seeks is the equality of all living beings in the heavens and the world, regardless of whether they are close to the way of heaven or not, or whether it is against the order of the world. The human race, the demon race, the Yiluo race, and even any ethnic group, all enjoy the same heaven.
concern.
From this point of view, the World Honored One may have rebelled against the way of heaven!
Because he disobeyed the instinct of heaven to protect himself.
Could this be the cause of the Lord's death?
Ksitigarbha's voice was loud in the sky: "I was born in response to the destiny, and I am about to inherit everything from the World Honored One. You ask where the way forward is. If you still remember the answer of the World Honored One, if you still remember the ideal of the World Honored One, then walk with me.
."
Manjusri raised his head inexplicably: "Who allowed you to inherit?"
He said with complicated emotions: "The World Honored One's ideal can never be realized!"
What can never be realized is the ideal of the World Honored One, and what can never come back is the time in the past. He also declared the death of that period of experience called Manjushri Bodhisattva!
He has already recognized it!
But Ksitigarbha just laughed and said: "It just so happens that I have eternal life!"
He melted in the evil flames and also shone brightly in the evil flames: "Eternal life should be dedicated to the eternal ideal."
The evil views all over the mountain roared silently.
"There is the biggest difference between you and the World Honored One."
The fierce flames of Tantai Manjusri spread its fangs and claws on the golden body of the giant Buddha.
But His voice was not so intense, as if those simple and extreme emotions had been exhausted in the confrontation with Ksitigarbha. Only cruel reason and cold reality were left!
"I will follow Him and do the impossible. And I'll just tell you why it's impossible."
"He is the one who truly creates ideals and pours them into us."
The ten fingers of Manjusri in Tantai are put together in front of the body, forming a mountain shape, which is like practicing Zen but not Zen.
Writing is like looking at a mountain, this is Wenshan!
He clasped his imaginary fingers together on the top of Ksitigarbha's head! He used this mountain to press down the Brahma Mountain, just as He used this to bid farewell to the past after the death of the World Honored One.
"You are just a delusion that climbed up from His corpse!"
But further up Wuzhifan Mountain, a mountain of cultural and spiritual elements crashed down.
The literary energy billows on it, like the shadow of the 100,000-year-old pine tree.
This mountain seems like a mountain of books in the real world!
Of course, it is an image from a long time ago, and now the green pines on the mountain of books have been cut off.
As soon as this mountain sinks, the body of Ksitigarbha Buddha will sink.
The evil flames burning the Buddha became more intense.
This golden body was melted rapidly, even burning out chapters of Sanskrit sutras that were flying around in the air!
In the raging flames, there was a strong sadness in Ksitigarbha's eyes, but he just smiled lovingly: "Forget it, the road ahead is long, I still go on my own."
The golden body is like mud, transformed in an instant. The golden liquid pours down from the top of the mountain like lava, covering the Fanshan Mountain with golden clothes.
The evil sights all over the mountain, including the fire that burned the mountain, were solidified there by the golden liquid, turning into amber as golden as gold!
First he served the World Honored One, and then he studied under Confucianism. As a master of both Buddhism and Confucianism, the sinless deity became far more powerful than people imagined once he took action.
But He was standing on the Fanshan Mountain Road at this time, without relaxing at all.
He knew that He had only repelled one touch from Ksitigarbha.
There is no point in preaching, the next step is the real method.
"Little friend Jiang!" He put his hands behind his hands on the mountain path of Fanshan Mountain and walked alone on the mountain path, walking through the evil views that had condensed into rockeries and fierce flames like flowers and trees, and asked casually: "What do you think of my Wenshan Mountain?"
?”
At this time, the deep sea of Tiandao is still magnificent, the "inverted fight" still exists, and the terrifying endless whirlpool is still swallowing up whales!
Kunpeng Tiantai is still struggling on the edge of the whirlpool...
He didn’t say anything about giving His comrades a hand!
At any rate, he helped him lure Ksitigarbha to the sea of the sky, and while he was fighting against Ksitigarbha, he spared no effort to help Pan!
If Jiang Wangzidu exchanged positions with each other, he would definitely pull Tantai Manjusri out of the way. Even if he had done so before fighting him!
Should we care about the comradeship of fighting against each other?
It’s really a waste of time to read the books of sages!
While struggling hard, he tried to keep his voice calm, and said objectively and neutrally: "I think this mountain is very steep, maybe the arts and sciences are a bit awkward!"
Tantai Manjusri laughed: "This is a copy of Shushan!"
Then we climbed to the top of Fanshan Mountain.
Jiang Wang couldn't help but feel embarrassed and annoyed for a moment, but suddenly the world was spinning, and the terrifying suction force suddenly intensified! He and his Kunpeng Heavenly Form were instantly sucked into the depths of the vortex, as if being swallowed by the mouth of an evil beast!
At this critical moment of life and death, for some reason, there was the sound of chatting in my ears——
"For the people he cherishes, he has tried his best to fight. He has tried his best to provide some interference in the battle of transcendence. But he should also understand that this is not a battlefield he should set foot on, and he cannot afford to be a little bit involved.
storm!"
"This is his choice. I think this choice alone can earn him respect."
Jiang Wang recognized that one voice came from Qihen, and the other voice came from Taoist Master Shanhai... Why are they still chatting?
"Respect! Of course respect!" Qi Hen's voice said: "It's just a little regretful."
"I almost forgot that you have all been close to heavenly beings, and you have both escaped. From ancient times to the present, it seems that there are only two of you -" Huang Weizhen said: "Suffering from the same disease?"
Qihen sighed: "He has such good conditions, he should be smarter - I am not saying that he is stupid, stupid people can't find opportunities in this situation. But he shouldn't have chosen this way. He did the wrong thing
Choice, but with correct efforts, but because of the wrong choice, no matter how correct the efforts are, they will fail in the end. This is my regret."
The voice of Taoist Master Shanhai said: "You are smart enough. But he has the courage to be unsmart. I think this is also good."
Qihen's voice said: "Even if you can't do anything? Can't do anything?"
"Is there anything ugly if you can't do it?" the voice of Taoist Master Shanhai replied: "I am as strong as you, but I am sitting in front of me. I am as strong as me, and I am sitting in front of you. It shows that even you and I can't do it.
What happened to me? Is it so extraordinary?"
"Let's open a small plate." Qi Hen's voice said: "The 'Secret Mud Plow World' that Lou Yue and I met back then was one of the evolutions of "The Buddha Speaks of the Eighteen Mud Plow Sutras". Well, it was just
That scripture, the one in the middle - before today's 'Eighteen Mud Plow Hell' was officially born, hell had already had countless rehearsals of birth and death in the universe!"
"Jiang Shu probably saw the importance of hell and went deep into it alone."
Qihen asked: "When do you think he can be killed?"
Huang Weizhen only asked: "What's the bet?"
Qihen's voice said: "If you lose, give me a show of the Longhua Sutra Banquet in the Taiyang Palace in the Taoist Calendar 1321, and I will provide you with the relevant historical data details - I was already ready to fight with all the old people back then.
, the sword pointed at the outdated knowledge of corruption, but it failed to be implemented, which is a pity."
Huang Weizhen said: "You don't seem to have much respect for my power."
Qihen just laughed: "Isn't this just the fantasy I had when I was young?"
Huang Weizhen muttered: "I think you are not too young in the year 1321 of the Taoist calendar."
"You are considered young among the famous historians at that time!" Qi Hen sighed: "The times have changed. There are now thirty-year-old top monks. Don't be so harsh on the people of the old era."
Huang Weizhen said: "Then if I win, I will—"
How can one live and die drinking tea?
The joys and sorrows in the world are not connected!
In the violent rotation, Jiang Wang's limited strength quickly dissipated. The leisurely sounds in his ears made his ears ringing.
And he tried his best to look back at the way back——
All I could see was the majestic distant mountains getting farther and farther away, and the waves roaring in the horizon.
The constantly rotating world is like a lonely ellipse. The ellipse has a golden outline.
Only then did he suddenly realize that he had actually been stuck in one eye.
Ksitigarbha’s Buddha Eyes!
when!?
He was sure that he really set off a turmoil in the sky and the sea, and he was sure that he really had an impact on this battle. But it was true that at some point, everything turned upside down.
Because he believed in himself so firmly, he realized one thing——
Ksitigarbha, with his supreme magical power, peeled off all the unstable factors affecting the sky and sea and swallowed them into his eyes.
This is the origin of the terrifying whirlpool that swallows seas and mountains.
This separation must be interrupted, otherwise all previous efforts will be in vain, and Ksitigarbha will once again grasp the absolute advantage of heaven in the unimpeded sky and sea.
But he can't do it!
He realized it, but he couldn't do it.
He was in a state of turmoil and couldn't even protect himself, let alone interfere with Ksitigarbha's actions.
Think of a way! Think of a way! He stared blankly at the heights - the sky had turned into a wellhead, and his eyes became deeper and deeper.
In the well, I look at the sky and the moon.
What a bottomless and endless abyss!
Think of a way! Is there any other way?
In my mind, the stars flickered. Countless fairy thoughts exploded one by one, as if a brilliant fireworks was set off!
Ideas were born one after another, and rejected one after another.
perhaps……
At this moment, the oval-shaped "wellhead" in his eyes suddenly flashed, as if a knife edge appeared.
Jiang Wang was convinced that it was not his illusion!
In the next moment, "口" was indeed blocked and turned into "日".
A ferocious and exaggerated euphorbia tore the Buddha's eyes and broke into Jiang Wang's eyes!!
On the halberd's edge, ghosts and gods howled, and hundreds of millions of evil spirits howled.
And floating at the end of the long pole is a touch of noble purple.
Daqi Jiang Shu——
Kill the Eighteen Mud Plow Hell!
