Chapter 56: Daleiyin Temple is a little rotten, and Xiniu Hezhou is rotten!
In the bare Mahavira Palace.
Jin Chanzi was confused.
An eight-grade lotus platform is placed in front of you.
There is no so-called twelve-grade lotus platform in this world. The nine-grade lotus platform is the highest level, and only the Buddha can sit on it.
Even the four great Bodhisattvas only sit on the seventh-grade lotus platform. Those who can sit on the eighth-grade lotus platform are those ancient Buddhas who avoided the world and studied the great path. They did not even show up in the chaos of the Great Leiyin Temple.
Now, what is placed in front of Jin Chanzi is an eighth-grade lotus platform prepared for him.
Under one ancestor, above ten thousand Buddhas.
Jin Chanzi was stunned.
He felt that he had done nothing.
Due to insufficient cultivation, he could only take advantage of the geographical advantage and bully the golden-winged roc eagle. Why was he suddenly about to be crowned king?
This is supported by Peacock and Golden Crow.
Two demon saints entered Buddhism and understood the Dharma. One had the ability to open up the central Saha world, and the other had the aspiration to become the Great Sun Tathagata. Both of them had been saving for a long time, but they failed to succeed.
Sakyamuni Tathagata did not wake up, but the ball of light remained motionless. The entire Great Thunder Sound Temple was already approaching, and it seemed that the situation was over.
Under such circumstances, the two great masters accepted the suggestion and turned the Buddhist energy they had swallowed into an eighth-grade lotus platform to support Jin Chanzi's rise to power.
In this way, the title of Buddha's disciple is not only famous, but also prestigious!
Seeing this scene, the Arhats all changed their expressions, and the three great Bodhisattvas also clasped their hands together, with a look of worry on their brows.
Jin Chanzi looked at the lotus platform and knew that this sitting was related to more than just a Buddhist.
Buddhism used to be divided into Mahayana and Hinayana. Since Sakyamuni Tathagata attained enlightenment, the internal routes have been unified, but now there are racial conflicts?
Those monsters who have been oppressed and marginalized will stand up and gather around this lotus platform!
"Is this going to split the division?"
"No!"
"This is the pursuit of boundless Dharma!"
Jin Chanzi tortured his heart, with a look of determination in his eyes.
In his view, this is exactly an opportunity.
If Buddhism is boundless, the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven cannot take advantage of it. It is precisely the inconsistency between Buddhism and the scriptures that leads to this catastrophe.
Under the attention of both parties, Jin Chanzi took steps and walked towards the Eighth Grade Golden Lotus.
The Peacock Golden Crow nodded slightly, while Guanyin, Manjusri and Samantabhadra remained silent.
But when he saw Jin Chanzi coming to the eighth-grade lotus platform, he suddenly turned around and looked at every Buddhist disciple in the Pure Land: "What is practice? What is the true scripture?"
The monks were startled and then heard Jin Chanzi say: "In the past hundred years, I have traveled all over Xiniuhezhou, and when I saw people practicing cultivation all over the world, I could not avoid the word 'seeking', asking for health, praying for merit, praying for peace of mind, and praying for supernatural powers.
Seeking to become a Buddha, but as long as there is still a "seeking", there will be selfish desires. To change through the behavior of "cultivation", it will be deliberate. Therefore, the true sutra can be understood but not practiced..."
"To become a Buddha is to seek, to realize one's clear nature is to know!"
The monks listened, and Huang Shang also listened.
Enlightenment is based on nature, and the enlightened person has laws from the heart. The enlightened person has precepts in his behavior because of his nature, and it is natural. However, because the practitioner is afraid of the consequences of not observing the precepts, he forcibly restrains himself.
Got the picture.
The key point of what Jin Chanzi said is here.
Nowadays, Buddhists in Hezhou, Xiniu, are practicing to control their nature, but they cannot achieve the state of exercising their nature.
Seeing no refutation, Jin Chanzi continued: "Buddhism is divided into stages. From a profound point of view, it is a heaven-made way to achieve enlightenment. The way of the Tathagata is inconceivable. From a superficial point of view, it is a teaching that leads people to be good. Good things.
Evil originally has the appearance of human beings, the appearance of self, and the appearance of sentient beings. Speaking from the perspective of sentient beings, greed is used to control greed, and illusion is used to control illusion. Although it does not destroy corruption and depravity, it does not hinder the compassion that soothes the soul. What have we done...
…”
Jin Chanzi clasped his hands together and chanted: "The cassock is not pure at all, the world of mortals is untainted, and the nature is empty, and the thousands of years of history in the ancient temple are all idiotic dreams?"
The monks continued to remain silent.
"Hahaha, okay!"
Peacock King Ming laughed loudly: "It doesn't matter what the scriptures are, little Jinchan, you have truly stepped on the threshold of enlightenment, you are only one step away!"
Buddhism used to like to talk about imaginary things, but now Jin Chanzi has pulled down the lofty sutras and meanings and brought them down to real sentient beings.
This is what Jin Chanzi gained in this world. He traveled around the countries of Xiniuhezhou as a traveling monk. He was out of tune with other disciples of Daleiyin Temple. He was very dissatisfied with the current situation of Buddhism and had nowhere to express it. It happened to be in this
In the catastrophe caused by the devil on the sixth day, the problem was exposed nakedly.
Not only seeking the position of the profound Tathagata, but even the shallow meaning of guiding people to good deeds has not been achieved, the people in Xiniu Hezhou are living in dire straits, so how can they call themselves Buddhas?
His eyes scanned the monks.
Those who are qualified to come to Daleiyin Temple to practice, who are not dignified with treasures, who are not fat-headed and big-eared, and who are not chanting Amitabha all day long, but the "devil thoughts" that were elicited from them before are also the most powerful. They should really put themselves to death.
Turn out the heart, lungs and intestines, dry them in the sun, wash them and tidy them up!
The trouble that worries Buddhism is not outside, but in the Great Leiyin Temple. If the Great Leiyin Temple is ruined, Xiniu Hezhou will be ruined. If the Great Leiyin Temple is completely ruined, all places will rise up and completely overthrow the preaching of Buddhism!
Must change!
When Jin Chanzi determined to be a Buddhist reformer, in the bare Mahavira Hall, suddenly the Buddha's light flourished, and immeasurable merit fell, covering him with a golden cassock.
I was originally wearing one layer, but I had worn an extra layer before, and now that I am still wearing it, I can't help but look a little bloated, but Jin Chanzi didn't care anymore, walked to the Eight-Rank Lotus Platform, and sat down.
"Namo Infinite Merit Buddha!"
Led by Peacock Daming King Bodhisattva and Zen Master Wuchao, Buddhists chanted the Buddha's name in unison.
"Buddha of Infinite Merits...this name has a profound meaning!"
Huang Shang laughed in his heart and left with Di Yong and A Niu without looking back.
He is fulfilled and happy to be the man...monkey behind Buddhism.
Next, there will be a big change in Hezhou, Xiniu.
He also wanted to go back and build up momentum, waiting for the key plot to come.
…
The same is Xiniu Hezhou.
Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Xianyue Sanxing Cave.
Huang Shang's mind turned back to Lingming Stone Monkey, who was listening to the lecture in front of the seat of Patriarch Bodhi.
This Patriarch was really kind to him, and he was so crazy about it.
Obviously there are nearly a hundred disciples under his command, and the professor spends more time instructing him than all the others combined.
Huang Shang is also eager to learn. If he doesn't understand, he will ask a billion whys.
Basically, the class lasted forty minutes, and the questions lasted four hours. The physical education teacher even cried with laughter.
Patriarch Bodhi answered most of the questions, but he asked too many and detailed questions, so he waved him off.
Even so, his inner alchemy cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, and the accumulation of nine years of confinement has turned into substantial strength.
Finally, on this day, Huang Shang felt that it was time. He put his hands together and arched his head: "Master, my disciple's Dharma nature has become quite clear recently and his roots are strong. Can he achieve immortality?"
Patriarch Bodhi nodded slightly: "You have infused your divine body, you only need to be prepared for the three disasters and harms. The way of the golden elixir, the creation of the heaven and the earth, the mystery of the sun and the moon. After the elixir is completed, the ghosts and gods will not be able to tolerate it!"
Huang Shangdao: "I hope Master will give me some advice!"
Patriarch Bodhi said: "The three disasters are thunder disasters, fire disasters and wind disasters. Thunder is the divine thunder of the nine heavens, fire is the yin fire of the earth's orifices, and wind is the wind caused by people. It corresponds to the three calamities of heaven, earth and man. You must understand your nature and understand your mind in advance.
If you can escape, you will live as long as the sky, if you cannot escape, you will die!"
Huang Shang asked: "Can we compete?"
Patriarch Bodhi laughed: "You hozen, do you still want to imitate the ancient monsters and fight against heaven and earth?"
Huang Shang grinned: "When medicine meets Qi, it will form an image. Tao and Xi Yi are natural. When I swallow a golden elixir, I realize that my destiny is not controlled by God. If I can't control it, why should I hide?"
The Lingming Stone Monkey has no need to hide his identity like the six-eared macaque. In the original plot, he was the most enthusiastic about reciting poems. Every time he encountered a monster, he had to declare his family status and use hundreds of words of poetry to publicize the deeds of the Monkey King...
…
Then he was beaten.
No matter what, if he learns culture from Patriarch Bodhi, he will also be able to recite poetry.
Patriarch Bodhi said: "Everyone already has the elixir of longevity, so why do you need to learn how to burn thatch? The inner elixir method emphasizes the cultivation of both life and life, observing the mind and nature, and returning to the source of ultimate emptiness. How well have you learned it on your own?"
Huang Shang heard this and looked inside his body. There was a round, bright golden elixir spinning around. It was not an entity similar to a dantian, but a unified body of essence, energy and spirit.
Thanks to his own psychic talent and the teachings of Patriarch Bodhi, his golden elixir can be said to be an authentic Taoism, with countless mysteries. However, if you really say how good you are at learning it, it is naturally far from enough.
The meaning of Patriarch Bodhi is very simple. If your state of mind is not enough, don’t be arrogant and try to transcend the world. Just be in awe and appreciate the vastness of the world and the boundlessness of the four seas.
Huang Shang did not comment and said: "Master, please teach me how to avoid disasters!"
Patriarch Bodhi: "Which one do you want to learn? There is the general Tiangang number, which has thirty-six transformations, and the general earth evil number, which has seventy-two transformations."
Huang Shang rolled his eyes: "The sky is bigger than the earth, I want to imitate Tiangang's thirty-six changes!"
Although this big world is a wasteland and the reincarnators have not yet been able to enter, bombs have been inserted into the main temple and many details have been changed. The butterfly effect caused by this is completely normal, so Wukong has learned the Thirty-Six Tiangang, but there is no
problematic.
However, Patriarch Bodhi shook his head: "Tiangang and Earth Sha are just the number of transformations, there is no difference between them. You are not suitable for the thirty-six transformations of Tiangang."
Huang Shang: "..."
Then what do you want me to do? Just pass on the Seventy-two Transformations of Earthly Evil, and that’s it.
Looking at Patriarch Bodhi's peaceful expression, he suddenly understood.
Naughty old man!
Do you remember how casual you were back then?
Tit for retaliation, Huang Shang could only choose the seventy-two transformations of Earthly Evil, and then began to listen to the subtleties of the seventy-two transformations.
He himself has mastered a lot of tricks to transform the Earthly Demons, and has many objects to imitate, from demons to Buddhas to immortals to ghosts, even ginseng fruits and flat peach trees are not under pressure.
But those were self-taught talents who were not systematic, but now they are systematic and include all things in the world, and they are all aware of changes.
The creatures in the great world of Journey to the West include ten categories of heaven and earth, gods, humans, ghosts, scales, feathers, and kuns, as well as the four monkeys that are not among them. The evil changes in this land actually divide these creatures into seventy-two categories of species.
In terms of number, it far exceeds the seventy-two living creatures.
You must know the species classification of modern science, but a large subject usually includes seven main levels, species, genus, family, order, class, phylum, and kingdom. Even if the division is very fine, there are many disputes, let alone the journey to the west.
A place like this in the world.
Therefore, each sect's transformations of Disha are different. A strong person who has mastered the seventy-two transformations of Disha will also use them differently, with different emphasis.
After all, this is to avoid the three disasters. In many cases, the requirement is not to become more, but to become similar and be able to deceive the three disasters.
"Ancestor Bodhi's earth evil transformation has undoubtedly passed the test of time. After practicing to the depths, he can also restrain the way of divination."
"Wonderful!"
Huang Shang was greatly surprised as soon as he got started.
If this is combined with his own innate magical power to transform into a ginseng fruit, I guarantee that Zhen Yuanzi will never recognize it again!
He wants to take revenge...
Forget it.
Going in and out of the Queen Mother's mouth seven times is not a good experience.
After calming down, Huang Shang practiced intensively every day.
Start with your own room first.
Doors, tables, beds, windows, bottles of incense, beams and tiles, wardrobes and pajamas are first changed one by one, and then they are changed together by plucking out the hair.
There was nothing real in the whole room, it was all him.
After the immobile dead creature becomes mature, it will then develop into the surrounding flowers, plants and trees.
As a result, the disciples who got up to go to the toilet in the middle of the night vaguely felt that pairs of eyes were watching them from behind, but after looking around and opening their heavenly eyes, everything was still normal, so they could only go back to change their pants suspiciously.
Then came the flying spiritual birds, the passing cranes, and even the brothers themselves...
Huang Shang also divided the seventy-two transformations into three stages, deepened step by step, and combined with his natural magical powers, he completed the practice in just three months.
This is not a fighting technique, but a long-lasting way to overcome disasters.
Theoretically, it is possible to avoid catastrophe.
It's just that he's too babyish.
A natural calamity occurs every five hundred years. According to the lifespan, it is still too early.
So on this day, after thinking about a billion reasons as usual, Huang Shang came up with an idea: "Master, my disciple's merits are complete and he has been able to ascend to the Xiaju."
Patriarch Bodhi smiled: "You can try it out and show it to me."
Huang Shang came to the courtyard, jumped up, spun into the air, stepped on the clouds, and floated into the distance.
Patriarch Bodhi looked down for a long time. The monkey was still in his sight. He couldn't help but shake his head: "You are not Teng Yun. You are clearly Climbing Cloud. Come down!"
Whoosh!
Huang Shang fell down, scratched his head, and Patriarch Bodhi laughed: "All those who are like Teng Yun get up early from the North Sea, swim through the East Sea, the West Sea, and the South China Sea, then turn around to Cangwu, and travel all the four seas in one day.
Fang is Tengyun, you can't go three miles in half a day, even climbing on the clouds doesn't count!"
Huang Shang smiled and said: "Master's power is boundless, just teach me the method of soaring into the clouds!"
Patriarch Bodhi said: "That's fine, I'll teach you a somersault. A somersault covers a distance of one hundred and eight thousand miles!"
Super run achieved!
It is indeed a supercar, because this somersault cloud also needs to be refined to recognize its owner. It is to take the most suitable cloud from the sky, use the gods to refine it, and refine it into a somersault cloud. When called, it will be there at any time.
Only one somersault can cover a thousand miles.
The somersault is actually to control the direction. What is really traveling is the clouds. From the starting point to the ending point, it is almost like teleporting in space.
After Huang Shang learned it, he compared it with Yun Cheng Wanli Shu and was greatly impressed.
This method has the shadow of the magical power of the demon clan, but it eliminates the bad and saves the good. It is even worse. The poor Golden-winged Dapeng Eagle's most famous speed has been surpassed. It is really tragic.
Of course, this Somersault Cloud cannot be practiced by ordinary people, because after it is made, it needs to be maintained in order to be able to direct it like an arm, and it can come and go when called. If Wukong didn't have psychic talent, it might be difficult to keep the Somersault Cloud on standby at all times.
In terms of difficulty, Yun Cheng Wan Li Technique is better to practice.
If it is a six-eared macaque, it will take a while to achieve greatness, but for the Lingming Stone Monkey, it is just a piece of cake...
Huang Shang flew around in mid-air every day to get familiar with his supercar. A group of junior brothers below who also couldn't learn how to use it looked at him and said sourly: "Monkeys are good at luck. With this method, we can compete with other people's pawnshops."
Soldiers, deliver documents, deliver declarations, no matter where you are, you can find food!"
"I'm wearing a yellow robe, so I can eat big fish and meat!"
Huang Shang ignored the group of lemon spirits and flew faster and farther, until he visited Danqiu in the east and Taihua in the west, and traveled to Mu Cangwu in the North Sea.
"It's time to take a look at the catastrophe in this big world."
So, that morning, he set up a somersault cloud and headed directly to Dongsheng Shenzhou.
Not going back to Huaguo Mountain, but watching a tribulation.
Dongsheng Shenzhou is the place where the Taoists live. There are three islands and ten states. There are countless sea and mountain gods. These gods are very old. Natural disasters that occur once in five hundred years are out of reach for Huang Shang. For them, it is a matter of life and death.
There is a considerable sense of urgency in this major matter.
A few days ago, when he was traveling around, he felt that the three disasters of fortune, longevity and fortune were about to come, so he transformed into a bird and listened secretly. He was sure that today would be the day to get a glimpse of what happened.
Whoosh!
Above the sky, somersault clouds line up the clouds on both sides and roar past.
Those clouds did not run away, but happily followed the somersaulting clouds like chasing stars, taking the lead in clearing the way for them.
The idol in the cloud, who has been training for two and a half months, is good at flying, dodging, and moving, and is very popular.
Under such operation, Huang Shang did not even use space shuttle, but maintained a normal speed and headed all the way to Dongsheng Shenzhou.
The vitality of heaven and earth quickly became lighter and lighter, which was the aura of Taoism.
What Lingming Stone Monkey learned was actually mainly Taoism, and he became more and more at home here.
When the East China Sea was in sight, Huang Shang fell down and turned into a crane. He slowly flapped his wings and headed towards the three islands.
"Thank you all fellow Taoists for coming. No need to see you off. I'll be waiting for you!"
"Take the longevity peaches. Seeing the peaches is like seeing me!"
On Penglai Island, the Three Elders of Fortune, Luxu and Shou were saluting a group of immortals. Even at this time, they did not forget to distribute longevity peaches.
But soon, Huang Shang also understood why these three elders paid so much attention to local products.
"Coming!"
When he took his place, dark clouds had already gathered in the sky, billowing and forming a low pressure over Penglai Island.
There were terrifying electric sparks flashing in the dark clouds, and thunder sounded from time to time.
All the Haiyue gods looked up solemnly.
I saw streaks of white lightning brewing, and soon formed into winding lightning, piercing straight down from the dark clouds, and then purple-black thunder, divided into nine, as if tearing the sky apart, striking straight down.
Penglai Immortal Island, which was still majestic before, suddenly became insignificant. In front of the world, even the immortals looked pale and powerless.
And the three elders had no intention of resisting, and suddenly transformed into three big peaches.
The Seventy-Two Changes of Earthly Evil: The Longevity Peach Change!
This is the difference in the tendency of supernatural power changes. Huang Shang also understood the reason why they have been promoting Shoudao.
The more recognition a longevity peach receives, the stronger the energy poured into it by heaven and earth. When it transforms into a longevity peach, it will be immune to the three disasters and avoid the past.
On the contrary, the energy is not enough, just like now.
Boom!
There was a loud noise, and the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder struck directly on the largest peach in the middle without giving any dignity.
Blah blah blah!
The swollen peach was bathed in the divine thunder, and was peeled away layer by layer, giving off a burning smell. There seemed to be an old man screaming inside.
"not good!"
"Not enough energy!"
The immortals were extremely sad when they saw this, and felt that the old birthday star might not be able to pass this test.
"It's over!"
When the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder continued to fall and the entire peach was electrocuted to the point where the peach core was exposed, Shou Lao was also in despair.
Originally, their longevity peaches actually sold quite well, even if they were not as good as ginseng fruit and flat peaches, but in order to diversify their varieties, they still had a place at the Queen Mother's flat peach festival.
Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother recently planted a new tree in the peach garden, and stopped buying Shoudao goods. Shoudao's Qi suddenly dropped, and this moment of entering and exiting created a life-and-death crisis...
Just as he was about to die, a furry paw suddenly stretched out from the ground below. With a gentle probe, he took out three peaches, and then swallowed them directly.
