Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Three Burning Lamp Buddha Enters Extinction
"The pox seed was stolen..." The Jade Emperor looked at the memorial presented to him and couldn't help but hold his forehead.
"This is a big deal!"
"Quickly pass the message to all the saints!"
In just an instant, the Supreme Being of the Three Realms made a choice - to pass the blame.
Let the saints handle this, which should be the responsibility of heaven.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Taibai Jinxing responded with a smile.
The Jade Emperor glanced at this close confidant and said with a smile: "There is no need to communicate with the two saints in the West!"
"The Asura Tribulation in Hezhou, Xiniu has happened again, and all living beings are in ruins. Please don't bother these two saints!"
"Yes!" Chief Taibai Jinxing ordered.
"That's right!" The Jade Emperor suddenly stopped Taibai Jinxing, who was about to carry out the decree, and asked: "My beloved, a few days ago, I issued an order to the Dragon King of the Four Seas to invite the four beloved ministers to go to heaven to discuss matters..."
"Why hasn't it been repeated yet?"
Taibai Jinxing was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Maybe they are the four dragon kings. They are delayed by something!"
The Jade Emperor chuckled and asked, "Really?"
"That's how it is!" Taibai Jinxing said softly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the loyalty of the four Dragon Kings to Haotian Golden Tower can be learned from heaven and earth!"
"Sooner or later there will be a reprise!"
"This is the best!" The Jade Emperor suppressed his dissatisfaction and forced a smile.
When Taibai Jinxing's figure disappeared from the hall, the expression of the Supreme Lord of the Three Realms suddenly changed: "How dare you treat me like this!"
The Dragon King of the Four Seas is the force that he, the lord of Haotian Golden Tower, respects the most in Heaven after receiving the talisman edict from Zixiao Palace.
However, now, he, the Jade Emperor, has repeatedly issued decrees, ordering the Dragon King of the Four Seas to select the "people of the Dao" and "promising men" of the Four Seas tribe, and pay tribute to the Heavenly Court as the backbone of the Tianhe Navy.
Unexpectedly, all the laws and decrees came to nothing.
The Dragon King of the Four Seas seemed to have never seen or seen the decree of the Emperor of Heaven.
Don't even say that the memorial supports it, but there is no letter to discuss or even oppose.
If there were no problems in this, how would the Jade Emperor believe it?
This can only be a problem in one of the links.
But, what exactly is the problem?
The Jade Emperor knew nothing.
"Rolling curtain!" The Jade Emperor calmed down and looked at the general who had been silent all the time: "Go and bring me the canopy!"
The general who rolled the curtain lowered his head and accepted the order and left.
The thoughts in Jade Emperor Dao's mind have already spread.
"It's so difficult for me to even build a Tianhe navy!"
"You don't even want to give me face!"
"Old dogs still have a bit of a temper!"
"You really think I don't have any countermeasures?!"
"The worst thing is, I will not go to Zixiao Palace again before the Great Tribulation of our Yuan Dynasty..."
His hand tightly grasped the talisman edict issued by the Taoist Patriarch of Zixiao Palace in the past who had personally conferred upon him the title of 'The Supreme Heavenly Lord of Haotian Golden Tower, the Supreme Pardoner of Sins'.
This edict allows him to always know the location of Zixiao Palace.
Coupled with his experience as a Taoist boy in the Zixiao Palace, he was able to enter the Zixiao Palace with a talisman when it was approaching the Three Realms.
This is his trump card.
Only used it once so far.
Holding the Fu Zhao, the Jade Emperor's chest rose and fell several times before calming down.
He is no longer the Jade Emperor before the Great Tribulation of the Gods.
It is definitely not the best idea to cry to Zixiao Palace.
As the Jade Emperor, the Supreme of the Three Realms, he cannot always rely on going to the Zixiao Palace to file complaints to maintain his authority.
Because the only possibility of doing that is to lose authority.
"I need to find an opportunity to have a serious talk with Brother Jie!"
I don’t ask for Jie Jiao’s support, I just ask for Jie Jiao’s acquiescence and acquiescence.
Just like now, if you don't stop him, the Emperor of Heaven, from governing, just be willing to discuss things with him.
…
Xiniu Hezhou.
Rolling tides of blood spurt out from the cracks in mountains, rivers and swamps.
Ancient bells in ancient temples one after another began to ring to themselves.
Winter winter winter!
Like war drums, the entire Xiniu Hezhou Thousand Buddha Kingdom seemed to come alive in an instant.
One Buddha treasure after another began to wake up.
The vajra, cassock, alms bowl, and Buddha bone relics, wrapped in endless Buddha light, slowly began to rise into the sky amid the pious chanting of monks and believers, blooming with milky white Buddha light, wrapping these temples and cities.
In the sky, the phantoms of the golden bodies of Bodhisattvas also appeared one after another.
These Bodhisattvas meditating in the Pure Land chanted sutras and performed the supreme Dharma at the same time, cleaning and sealing the gaps and passages in the sea of blood that appeared around their dojos.
But, in fact, when the Bodhisattvas do this, it also means that the disaster of Asuras in the sea of blood is no longer under control.
Most of the strongholds and dojos operated by the Western Sect in the Nine Nether Sea of Blood have probably fallen.
The flames of war are burning from the Jiuyou Blood Sea to Xiniu Hezhou.
Sooner or later, the defenses of the Buddhist Kingdom on Earth in Xiniu Hezhou will be broken through.
The Asura clan will emerge from the sea of blood and cause an Asura disaster throughout Xiniuhezhou.
As the current Buddha, the golden body of Deng Deng Buddha is extremely huge.
He stands above the sky in Hezhou, Xiniu, with infinite compassion and infinite holiness.
The twenty-four heavens cycle through life and death.
It is like twenty-four Buddhist lamps that illuminate the world and protect the world.
In the light of the Buddha lamp, even though the Asuras from the Nine Nether Sea of Blood kept trying to attack the cracks in Xiniu Hezhou.
However, few succeed.
Even if there is, it will be instantly locked by the twenty-four heavens.
Then the Buddhist treasures enshrined in nearby Buddhist temples were quickly suppressed!
…
Nine Nether Sea of Blood.
The demon Buddha Bo Xun completely tore the golden body of a Bodhisattva into pieces.
Then he raised his head and looked at the twenty-four heavens that were also blooming with light above the blood sea and supporting the blood sea.
The demon Buddha's clean Buddha heart, which had been corroded for a long time, beat violently.
He knew that the time had come.
"Kill! Kill!"
"Friend Ran Deng, this poor monk is here to send you to death!"
With that said, the Demon Buddha stepped out and instantly locked the twenty-four heavens. Following the traces of cause and effect, he stepped on the barrier between the Nine Nether Sea of Blood and the Pure Land, and appeared on Lingjiu Mountain.
In front of Lingjiu Temple.
"Good! Good!" The lamp-burning Buddha sitting on the futon was not surprised at the arrival of the demon Buddha.
This is fate and destiny.
He just sat with his eyes closed and sang an unveiling poem: "The supremely profound and subtle Dharma has been encountered for hundreds of thousands of kalpas. Now that I have seen and heard it, I have accepted it and upheld it. I am willing to understand the true meaning of the Tathagata!"
Amidst the sound of chanting promises, the Buddha's golden body began to become dim and lose its color.
The twenty-four heavens were extinguished one by one like an oil lamp that had run out of fuel.
Demon Buddha Bo Xun had known this for a long time. He stretched out his huge black palm and slapped it on his head: "Fellow Taoist, please go to death!"
The Deng Deng Buddha neither hides nor avoids, nor blocks or hinders.
That skinny face even showed a smile of great joy: "That's good! That's good!"
"Almsgiver!"
He folded his hands and recited the sutra: "So I heard... Incomparable severity, full of majesty and virtue! There are thirty-two signs and eighty kinds of goodness. On the day of birth, all directions are bright, the sun, moon, pearls and fire are no longer useful.
!”
The giant palm fell, and the fire of ignorance rose.
The golden body of Buddha gradually melted in the flames.
All causes and effects, all evil obstacles, and all kinds of obscurity will be annihilated.
The Buddha was overjoyed and praised: "All actions are impermanent, this is the law of birth and death. Life and death destroy oneself, and death is bliss!"
Calmly in the giant palm, move towards silence and nirvana.
…
The sky in Hezhou, Xiniu, instantly turned dark.
The twenty-four Buddhist lamps that had always illuminated the human world were extinguished with a snap.
Between the sky and the earth, raindrops kept falling.
"The Buddha has died!" Countless people cried, with tears streaming down their faces.
But those who have wisdom will happily say: "Good! Good!"
"Namo Randen Ancient Buddha!"
"Namo Past Dingguang Tathagata!"
The death of Buddha is a great joy.
Because this means that Sakyamuni Buddha will now be born in Hezhou, Xiniu, to educate all living beings and promote Buddhism.
All sentient beings in Xiniu Hezhou should be happy and happy.
Even now, the invasion of Asuras is imminent, even now, life and death of common people in the world are imminent.
You should be happy and happy.
Everything is impermanent, everything is empty, everything is dead.
…
Pure Land World, Huayan Temple.
Samantabhadra Bodhisattva looked at the Demon Buddha Boxun appearing on Lingjiu Mountain from a distance. The Bodhisattva looked up and sighed: "How good! How good!"
"Namo Randen Ancient Buddha!"
"Namo Past Dingguang Tathagata!"
The present Buddha's death is the Buddha of the past.
Cause and effect are both cleared up, and karma is destroyed!
This is the reverse practice of great aspirations and enlightenment!
Using the technique of great wish to realize the Tao, he transformed into the Buddha of the West and took over the body of Buddha to inherit all causes and effects.
Then, during the calamity, in accordance with the timing of heaven, in accordance with the number of heaven, and in accordance with the general trend of the west, he was destroyed by the hands of the demons and Buddhas.
From then on, everything in the past disappeared, and everything in the future was unpredictable.
"As expected of Teacher Ran Deng!" Bodhisattva felt ashamed.
He knew that perhaps a long time ago, even when he rebelled against the family, Taoist Ran Deng had already planned everything that would happen today.
Judging from the fact that the Two Saints of the West did not intervene.
Taoist Ran Deng had already made a gentleman's agreement with the Second Sage before entering the West.
"Teacher Ran Deng has put an end to all the past..."
"Then becoming a saint in the future is probably on the agenda!"
Unfortunately, such a technique is difficult to replicate.
At least, Pu Xian knew that he could not copy it.
Because the Second Sage of the West would not allow it.
It is also because the right time and place borrowed by Ran Deng Taoist are almost impossible to replicate.
…
Bo Xun grabbed the relics left behind after the death of the lamp-burning Buddha and immediately escaped back to Jiuyou without hesitation.
This was the agreement he made with Ran Deng many years ago.
You achieve nirvana and cut off cause and effect.
I have obtained the relics, opened up the Great Self-Heaven, and will forever be the enemy of the Buddha.
The Two Holy Principles of the West can allow the Buddha Sakyamuni to be reborn in the midst of all sentient beings' hardships and sufferings, and then spread the Dharma and win people's hearts.
It's a win-win-win!
But the opportunity for a triple win is fleeting.
The two saints may not necessarily watch him, the demon Buddha, realize that he is the Lord of the Great Self and become the ancestor of the demon Buddha.
…
Heavenly Court, Temple of Wealth.
Zhao Gongming opened his eyes and looked to the west.
The causal connection between the twenty-four Dinghai Divine Pearls and him was suddenly disconnected and then quickly reconnected.
The reconnection of cause and effect this time gave him a sense of crisis.
"Mercy! Mercy!" Zhao Gongming bowed his head and said, "One drink and one peck, could it be a predestined decision?"
"In the future calamity, this poor Taoist will definitely have sex with fellow Taoists!"
"This time, it's a matter of life and death!"
He already knew from the causal induction that Taoist Ran Deng had used some method unknown to him to eliminate all the past.
However, the more people Ran Deng Taoist kills in the past, the deeper the cause and effect between him and him.
Because the past of Ran Deng Taoist Zhan Que rests on Zhao Gongming's 24 Dinghai Divine Pearls, his natal spiritual treasure.
This means that the past that Ren Deng Taoist cut off has not been completed.
Ran Deng Taoist still has one last step to go.
This last step is done by him, Zhao Gongming!
The real owner of the twenty-four Dinghai Divine Pearls!
…
Deep in Lingjiu Mountain.
In the endless darkness and fog.
An ancient bronze coffin lay quietly in the darkness.
Suddenly, in front of the coffin, an ancient spiritual lamp slowly lit up.
In the light, the figure of Taoist Ran Deng slowly solidified.
"The Patriarch is here, my disciples light the lamps and bow before bowing!" Taoist Ran Deng opened his eyes and felt the complete joy in his Tao body. He was extremely happy.
This last step was finally taken successfully!
Before the great calamity, he first annihilates himself!
Although he lost a good corpse that he killed, his realm fell from the peak of quasi-sage.
It is necessary to practice again and behead the corpse again.
In addition, when Western Buddhism enters annihilation, it is not true emptiness.
Otherwise, the Second Saint of the West would not be so troubled.
He has long passed through various methods to allow himself to enter annihilation, cut off all causes and effects, and complete the body of a saint.
There is no need to worry about the great ambitions made in the past.
Nirvana is just the beginning.
Next, you need to reduce it to empty.
Let the Randen Buddha truly become the Ancient Randen Buddha.
He will also truly transfer his own cause and effect to the body of Sakyamuni Buddha who is about to be born.
Only past Buddhas truly become past Buddhas.
Everything about him is complete.
The two sages of the West practiced the method of reduction into emptiness, which lasted for three generations.
Past, present, future, trinity.
This allows the saint to be completely separated from his great aspirations.
Let the ambitions of the past become the cause and effect of the future.
This is the unkindness of Heaven, which regards all things as stupid dogs!
The way of heaven does not care who is responsible for the cause and effect, the way of heaven only needs someone to repay the debt.
Thinking about these things, Taoist Ran Deng bowed again to the silent bronze coffin.
Everything about him was given by the owner of this bronze coffin.
Only after receiving enlightenment from the ancestors did I realize my transformation.
Whether it was the pursuit of the Tao in the past, or the present state of emptiness, or the reverse practice of great aspirations and enlightenment, it was all inspired by the ancestor buried in this coffin.
…
Tushita Tian, Bajing Palace.
The saint Laojun shook his fly whisk and opened his eyes, lost in the lake.
The saint counted his fingers and sighed: "Mercy! Mercy!"
“Friend Ran Deng, it’s finally over!”
The sage counted again, and all the cause and effect were clear.
"That's it!" Laojun bowed his head and said, "Fellow Taoist's plan is really good!"
This matter was hidden from Laojun's eyes and ears, and he took advantage of the turmoil of cause and effect before this catastrophe, and decided to kill it decisively.
If this is not the case, I am afraid that Laojun will not be able to help but intervene.
It is unlikely that other saints would intervene to stop him.
Especially Jie Jiao Tongtian, how could he let Ran Deng be so stable in killing all the past?
That demon Buddha Bo Xun couldn't even get out of the sea of blood!
Now, it's too late.
Therefore, Saint Laojun called his disciple Xuandu and said to Xuandu: "Take my talisman and go to Lingjiu Mountain, the pure land in the west, to find the Taoist monk Ran Deng and congratulate him!"
Since it is a foregone conclusion, the saint will not pursue it further.
If Ran Deng Taoist succeeds in his plan, you should congratulate him.
As far as a saint is concerned, no matter who the monks in the Three Realms are, they should be congratulated if they can successfully take such a step.
"No!" Xuandu knew that the saint had something to say.
