Falling in front of this quaint, exotic-style palace, a kind old man holding a cane looked at Wei Yang quietly with a warm smile.
"Boy, I have met Patriarch Bodhidharma."
Seeing the old man around him with no hair on his head, a forehead like a meat bag, and a beard on his face, Wei Yang hurriedly bowed his hands. The reason for such a salute was not that Wei Yang was frightened, but just respected him.
Patriarch Bodhidharma came from the west and went to China to preach. He did not use Buddhism for personal gain. It can be said that Patriarch Bodhidharma is the true universal saver of Buddhism. He saves all living beings not for the purpose of becoming immortals and Buddhas, but for the sake of origin.
The true Buddha mind from within is enlightenment.
Although Bodhidharma is just a sage in Buddhism, he actually pioneered Buddhism in China, established the Zen lineage, and became the founder of Zen. It can be said that without Bodhidharma's teaching, there would be no subsequent universalization of Buddhism, let alone the current one.
Xuanzang's journey to the west. This worship was just a worship from the bottom of the heart for everyone in Wei and Yang, and it was not a worship to Buddhism or Western religion.
"I wonder where you studied?"
"Studying under the tutelage of the Tongtian Saint is a closed disciple."
Seeing Wei Yang's respectful expression, Bodhidharma not only showed a soft look in his eyes, but also had a strong impression of this young man who knew etiquette in his heart. Not only did he secretly say: I am afraid that someone will inherit this last mantle.
But after hearing what the other party said, Bodhidharma was not calm this time. Saint Tongtian? What kind of existence is that? It is comparable to the two saints in the West, and it is above the ancient Buddha. It is an existence that cannot be compared with the current Buddha. It can be called
Is he the other party's disciple, or is he a closed disciple? When Bodhidharma was confused, he put his hands together and said a Buddha's name, and then his heart calmed down.
"I didn't expect you to be a disciple of a saint. It's Bodhidharma who's being rude."
Bodhidharma smiled bitterly and made a Buddhist salute to him, showing a sad look on his face.
"Clothes are skin. Although my master is a saint, I have never obtained the Dharma, so I thought of my ancestor."
Huh? Wei Yang's words once again made Patriarch Bodhidharma stunned, but in the blink of an eye, he showed a warm look. The original sadness on his face suddenly turned into clouds and dissipated, and he even laughed and said a Buddha's name.
After that, he and Wei Yang sat on the ground in front of the palace and chatted with each other.
However, what the two people said was not a dispute between Taoism and Buddhism. Although there were magic spells, teaching methods, astronomy and geography, in the end, it was about inheriting the teacher's way, and the two of them were also deeply involved.
But it's not meant to be a debate, it's meant to be about communication.
In this way, Wei Yang gained a lot. The two gods acted like the two gods Tianpeng and Ksitigarbha at the beginning. They just regarded each other as Taoist friends, so they communicated with each other.
Now Patriarch Bodhidharma is doing the same thing. He tells Wei Yang all he has learned in his heart, instead of teaching Wei Yang the law. This can greatly clear up the doubts in the other party's mind and make Wei Yang have a deeper understanding of the Tao.
Understanding and understanding. Dharma is different, but the Tao is the same. The Dharma of Buddhism and the teaching of Shinto are all a step below the Great Tao, and they are one of the Great Tao.
Although what Wei Yang said cannot be compared with the unique knowledge stored in the heart of Patriarch Bodhidharma, Wei Yang couldn't help but traveled through the crowd, which involved fresh concepts and rules for future generations. The light in Bodhidharma's eyes twinkled, and his heart also
I have other insights.
If others were just afraid of scorning Wei Yang, they would even veto everything Wei Yang said, and even shout that what Wei Yang said was the gibberish of evil heretics.
However, for Bodhidharma, such unrealistic ideas are very feasible. Because he longs for a world where all living beings are equal, there is no oppression, no constraints, everyone knows etiquette, and there is a law to be found in everything.
Rules and balance.
It was Wei Yang's words that caused Patriarch Bodhidharma to stand up and bow, and asked anxiously: "I wonder if you know it from the saint's mouth? Where is that world?"
"Well, it's the promised land."
Wei Yang didn't know what to say anymore. He was so excited just now that he told all kinds of things about his previous life without restraint. Now Bodhidharma asked him which world he came from? Wei Yang also wanted to know, too.
Good to return to my hometown.
Unfortunately, such an idea is not realistic. Even in Tianpeng's memory, there has never been such a realm. Even among the three thousand realms in the lower world, he has heard of realms like the earth. Wei Yang thought of this.
It can only be said to be a happy land.
It is impossible to practice in the Paradise, only humans live there. If the gods go there, it is impossible to practice. Without the power of the gods, even the saints can enter it, but they cannot be transported back. Therefore, the paradise is the forbidden land of the gods, and the saints are the Taoist ancestors.
Hongjun also kept silent about the paradise.
Wei Yang had no choice but to use the name of Paradise to block Patriarch Bodhidharma from further questioning, so as to explain why he said something so inconsistent with the etiquette and customs of the world.
"Promised Land? Sure enough, when I leave, that Promised Land will be my starting point to see what mysteries are in that foreign land."
Before Wei Yang could speak, Patriarch Bodhidharma stretched out his hand, gave Wei Yang a relic pearl, and spoke again: "This pearl is what I destroyed his physical body and condensed it with the Dharma. It is stored here."
In the temple, it is reserved for the destined person. I thought you could inherit my mantle, but unfortunately you are already valued by the saint and are not my blessing. It is a pity, a pity, and a tragedy."
"this……"
"However, if you can understand this thing, you can do it. I have seen through all the things in the world. I just want to save everyone and bring blessings to heaven. If you don't want to understand my way, you can find a successor for me and learn my way.
That’s what inheritance is.”
"That's fine. I'll find a master disciple so that the inheritance of Huasheng Temple can be continued."
"Huasheng Temple? Then we call it Huasheng Temple."
Patriarch Bodhidharma smiled slightly. Although he didn't know why Wei Yang would say the word "transformation", the word "transformation" was considered a good vocabulary, so he nodded slightly in recognition.
"In addition, the people in this area were originally evil people. After listening to the Dharma for hundreds of years, they have become a group of Buddhas. Today I want to go back, where will these people go? It is up to them to choose. Fellow Taoists, please don't embarrass them.
"
"No, I will set them free."
"This is best. If they choose to follow you, please be kind to them and say goodbye."
After saying these words, Patriarch Bodhidharma jumped away directly, and a ray of soul thought completely disappeared in this illusion, leaving only the relic orb in Wei Yang's hand, which also proved that the former Patriarch Bodhidharma had stayed here for a long time.
For a long time, it was just to suppress Kuafu's demonic clone.
At the same time, Wei Yang also knew that without the suppression of Patriarch Bodhidharma for many years, I am afraid that the Kuafu Demon God would not be so easy to kill. He would have broken through the seal long ago and traveled between heaven and earth. I am afraid that the creatures in this area would not be able to kill him so easily.
It's just a sudden disaster.
Dao power activated this relic orb, and his thoughts directly drove Li Shimin and others back to the outside world. The relic in the outside world also shattered into pieces and fell into Li Shimin's eyes. It was really a pity.
If we knew that this relic really came from Patriarch Bodhidharma, it would definitely increase Li Tang's reputation, but it is a pity that it has turned into ashes now.
"Ding, the host has completed the mission: Obtained the secret realm of Huasheng Temple. Obtained 1000 teacher points. Officially opened the secret realm of Huasheng Temple. Because the host lacks the necessary utensils to open the mission: Wandering Dragon Sword or Divine Fire Fan, it is temporarily unable to open the inheritance of the secret realm of Huasheng Temple.
"
I heard the system notification sound in my ears. In the Immortal Mansion, the relic orb has been turned into a palace, and it fell quietly in a mountain range in Putuo Prefecture. The Buddha bead on the palace, and the third grade of the secret realm of Mount Putuo
The golden lotuses of merit and virtue complement each other, making the entire Putuo Prefecture filled with dazzling Buddha light.
