Chapter 886 Asking for the Eight Treasures Merit Pool
Xitianling Mountain.
It was originally very lively, with monks and Buddhas walking around, the Buddha's light shining in the world from Daleiyin Temple, and the Buddha's descendants reciting Buddhist scriptures.
A peaceful and quiet place.
But suddenly one day, there was a sudden silence in the huge Leiyin Temple, and you could hear a pin drop.
All the Buddhas held their breath and did not dare to act recklessly again.
The Tathagata Buddha on the eight-jeweled lotus platform looked hesitant and asked, "Fellow Taoist, I don't know your name, and which fairy mountain and blessed land you practice in. What's the purpose of coming to my great Leiyin Temple in the West?"
The light of Buddha rises.
And in the void outside the main hall, the man in white and brocade robes was Jiang Que who was galloping all the way from the heaven.
He looked inwardly into the treasure hall, his eyes passing over the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats in the hall, and then fell on the Tathagata Buddha on the high seat.
.
When I was in the lower realm, I heard that the Buddha in Lingshan Mountain in the West had a wonderful Dharma in his hand. There were three thousand sutras of Buddhist Dharma, an endless collection of them, and an eight-jewel merit pool that could help the true spirit to reincarnate.
I longed for it, so I came!
I hope the Buddha will not hesitate to reward you, so I will be grateful!"
Tathagata Buddha: "..."
As soon as Jiang Que opened his mouth, there was a sudden silence in the main hall.
All the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats were secretly sweating coldly, "This person really dares to open his mouth. He wants to read my Buddhist scriptures and ask for my Buddhist Eight Treasures Merit Pool as soon as we meet him. He is really ambitious and courageous."
I wonder how the Buddha would respond?
Tathagata Buddha had been very angry for a long time, but his years of cultivating qi allowed him to temporarily suppress his anger and asked: "It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Jiang. It is rare for the mortal world to give birth to a person with great supernatural powers like Fellow Daoist Jiang."
Isn't it rare?
As the Buddha of Buddhism, he is truly the number one person in the three realms in terms of cultivation. He can inquire and inquire about all living beings in the three realms. Every move in the world is under his control.
But now Jiang Chi suddenly appeared, a person whose cultivation level was not lower than his Tathagata, asking him how to calm down.
Can such a person be cultivated in a mere mortal world?
Even if he killed Tathagata Buddha, he wouldn't believe it.
Even if you spend all your energy in the world, you may not be able to cultivate it, let alone do it quietly.
"Really rare."
Jiang Duan nodded, took over the words of Tathagata Buddha and continued: "But Buddhism has opened the door to convenience, and the Buddha is compassionate. I think the Buddha will not stop me from reading the three thousand scriptures, right?"
Tathagata Buddha thought about it carefully and looked hesitant.
After a long time, he opened his mouth and said: "It's easy to talk about scriptures. If fellow Taoist monks can come to my Buddhist sect and become a deputy leader, you can read and observe the three thousand scriptures in the Great Leiyin Temple."
He made the conditions and accepted them.
But Jiang Chi shook his head and said: "I am used to being carefree and undisciplined, but I cannot be the deputy leader of Buddhism. Besides, wouldn't such behavior steal the spotlight from fellow Taoists and take away your glory?"
If you say he is an elder from the Buddhist sect, that might be acceptable."
At most it's just a name.
Just like those honorary deans in later generations.
Let him shave his head and become a monk, but he won't even have window paper.
Tathagata Buddha nodded slightly when he heard the words. Jiang Chi's words undoubtedly showed that he did not want to force his way in, which meant that there was still room for discussion on the matter.
It seems okay to be a guest elder.
Immediately he continued: "But, if my Buddhist sect is in crisis, my Taoist friends need to do their best to help, in order to protect the name of this guest elder, so that I can open the door of convenience and give you access to three thousand Buddhist scriptures and Dharma scrolls."
Of."
"Okay." Jiang Que agreed without hesitation, but he secretly said in his heart: "After I get the benefits, I will leave this world. By then, I will not care about you, the elder of the Buddhist guest minister, nor will I care about your flood!"
It has nothing to do with him anymore.
We won’t see each other anyway, so it doesn’t matter if we agree first.
Seeing Jiang Chi agree, Tathagata Buddha was very happy, "I am very happy to have help from fellow Taoists, my Buddhist sect will definitely reach a higher level."
"Buddha, wait a minute." Seeing that the Tathagata monk was about to consecrate himself in public, Jiang Chi quickly stopped him, "The guest's matter is not urgent. There is another thing I said before, but I want to trouble the Buddha to agree to it."
"What's the matter?" Tathagata Buddha was stunned and asked in confusion.
But he didn't remember anything else.
Isn’t it just reading the scriptures?
Jiang Que's face was slightly dark, and he said calmly: "Before, I said that there is an Eight Treasures Merit Pool in Xitianling Mountain. I was very happy about it, so I came here to ask for it. I hope the Buddha can agree."
Tathagata Buddha: "..."
promise?
You are clearly a Buddhist prostitute, how could he agree to this?
If others don’t understand the importance of the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, how can Tathagata Buddha not understand it?
——That is a reincarnation pool. Whenever a Buddhist disciple is reincarnated, his soul or true spirit can be thrown into the Eight Treasures Merit Pool and be reincarnated. In the next life, he will not only have extraordinary qualifications, but also have a trace of merit power.
From then on, the roots of wisdom were deeply planted, and the Buddha nature was very strong.
Basically, you can easily recover your past life memories and embark on the path of spiritual practice again.
How could Tathagata Buddha give such a treasure that plays a decisive role to Buddhism?
Then, the Buddha shook his head and refused and said: "Fellow Taoist, I wouldn't give it unless it was right. In fact, the Eight Treasures Merit Pool has a great use in Buddhism and cannot be monopolized by others."
Buddhist luck is mostly in that pool of merit.
He didn't want to give it.
Jiang Chi frowned, but then said: "I am the elder of your Buddhist guest. I can listen to your orders and act according to your orders, okay?"
Based on this condition, he felt that Tathagata should consider it carefully.
Tathagata Buddha had indeed considered it carefully, and he was indeed very moved by the conditions proposed by Jiang Chi. It would be more advantageous and more reliable for him to mobilize an existence that was not weaker than himself, and to lay out the three realms, or even the depths of the void, in the future.
Moreover, there are two supreme beings in charge of Buddhism, so no demons or monsters would dare to come out to cause trouble.
This is definitely of great benefit to the development of Buddhism.
To be honest, he was very excited.
But after weighing it in the end, he continued: "Fellow Taoist, this is not enough."
But Jiang Chi felt his eyes light up, and said secretly: "Looking at this situation, Tathagata Buddha should have been moved, and there is still room for negotiation."
So Jiang Chi said again: "I can swear an oath of heaven, and I have the strength to defeat you. Are these enough?"
"How to prove it?"
Tathagata Buddha said without changing his expression: "Although my Taoist friend is strong, but he is in the same situation as me, how can he defeat me?"
He is a Buddha.
He is the Buddha of Buddhism and the Buddha in the hearts of people all over the world.
Only by gathering the fortunes and beliefs of the creatures in the three realms can we achieve what we have today.
Although Jiang Que's aura is strong, it may not be able to overwhelm him as Tathagata Buddha. After all, they are in the same realm.
"I am invincible in the same realm!"
Seeing such disbelief, Jiang Chi smiled slightly and said, "If Buddha doesn't believe it, you and I can give it a try. Then we will know who is stronger and which one is weaker. I also want to make a bet with Buddha. I wonder what Buddha thinks?"
"What bet? How to bet?" Tathagata Buddha seemed to be interested. He had not met a cultivator in the same realm as him for a long time. He happened to be very skilled and wanted to have a discussion with them.
Of course it is also possible to add some color.
Seeing that he had taken the bait, Jiang Chi continued: "It's very simple. If I win, everything I just said will naturally count."
"What if I win?" Tathagata Buddha asked.
"If the Buddha wins and I don't want the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, everything I said before will naturally count, including listening to your edict." Jiang Que said quietly, full of confidence.
At first glance, this bet doesn't seem to give him any advantage.
But in fact, he had a huge advantage, because he could leave this world at any time and break the contract at any time.
Tathagata Buddha naturally does not know this.
He nodded involuntarily, and with confidence in his own strength, he agreed, "That's very good. I just hope that fellow Taoist friends will not break their promises after losing. You and I can both take the oath of heaven first."
"Can!"
Jiang Bu nodded, which was also an insurance policy for both of them.
good for everyone.
He, Jiang, is confident in his own strength. He is confident that he can defeat even Tathagata Buddha, who is known as the number one person in the three realms.
Even more powerful.
The cultivation of Dzogchen in the Return to Ruins Realm cannot be faked.
His cultivation level was improved by using the original power of the world, so naturally there will be no sequelae. In addition, with the ninth-level Taoist skills keeping up, even the last trace of worries is gone.
So he is least afraid of competition.
"Even if this Buddha has all kinds of magic weapons in the legend, has endless supernatural powers and boundless magic power, even a certain uncivilized monkey in the past is no match."
Jiang Qian murmured to himself: "But I have great abilities, so I will lose if I can't use any of them."
He is going to decide on the Eight Treasures Merit Pool.
If Huang Rong can be allowed to bathe and cultivate in it all day long, her cultivation level will rise rapidly after many years.
This is something that must be included in your pocket.
Apart from this, there is nothing else in the huge Leiyin Temple in West Tianling Mountain that is worth worrying about, at least for now.
On the Eight Treasures Lotus Platform.
Tathagata Buddha also had his own small thoughts, "This person looks majestic and carefree, but it is true that he is in the same realm as me. I can take the opportunity to keep him by my side and use him as my own."
You can easily win with strength."
He is a strong man who has been famous for many years, while Jiang Que is at most a new strong man.
Nothing.
This comparison between the new and the old determines the difference between high and low.
Experience alone is incomparable.
Tathagata Buddha has many chances to win in this regard, and all Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats also think so.
"That kid came out of nowhere and wants to challenge the Buddha. He really doesn't know how to live or die."
"If he becomes my Buddhist guest, he will ride on my head in the future. What should I do? Fortunately, the Buddha was smart and did not give him the Eight Treasures Merit Pool."
"I hope Buddha can win, otherwise..."
The monks and Buddhas discussed quietly in the main hall, but it did not affect the state of mind of Tathagata and Jiang Chi. At their level, how could they care about the opinions of a group of ants.
No matter how much you talk about breaking the sky or breaking the earth, it's useless.
In the crowd, Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at Jiang Chi, who was so high up there that he could talk to the World Honored Buddha on an equal footing, and felt very uncomfortable. "A few hundred years ago in the human world, this Jiang Chi was not very prominent in the Jinshan Temple.
He was just a monk who was stronger than Fahai, but hundreds of years later, he has achieved such a level of cultivation. It is really infuriating that people are more powerful than others."
Jiang Que's cultivation level is now much higher than hers.
The further back you go, even if it's just a small realm, it's still a huge gap for a monk like her.
Difficult to cross.
The war is about to break out!
All the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats are very curious. Who will win this unprecedented battle? They are all looking forward to it!
