A ray of Buddha's light suddenly emerged from the spiritual mountain in the west. It contained unpredictable majesty and was vaguely similar to Tathagata Buddha, but it lacked some compassion.
The monks who were listening to the Buddha's sermon in the Great Leiyin Temple were all shocked when they saw this, and subconsciously looked towards the Tathagata Buddha!
"Amitabha!"
Avalokitesvara was dressed in white, holding a pure vase in her hand. Seeing the Buddha's light rising into the sky, she couldn't help but be surprised and said: "It's the Ran Deng Buddha. How could this old man be born?"
The names of the three Buddhas of Buddhism are known to all three realms, and each of them is the most powerful existence in the three realms. Otherwise, how could Buddhism be able to separate itself from one side and leave the Jade Emperor helpless?
Let’s not talk about the future Buddha Maitreya and the present Buddha Tathagata. Let’s just talk about the past Buddha Deng Deng Buddha. He was once in charge of Buddhism, and he was also a coercive existence in the three realms. He is no weaker than the current Tathagata Buddha.
However, he practiced Hinayana Buddhism and taught salvation, while Tathagata was a Mahayana Buddhism preacher. Due to the differences in doctrine, the monks in Lingshan flocked to Tathagata one after another. From then on, Ran Deng practiced in seclusion on Lingjiu Peak in the Snow Mountain.
I rarely have contact with other Buddhist people.
I saw the Buddha's light soaring into the sky, ascending to the ninth heaven, and heading straight towards the heaven.
There was no joy or sorrow on the Tathagata's face. He saw the Buddha's light burning lamps ascending to the heaven, but he smiled slightly and said: "Monks, don't be distracted. The ancient Buddha and his old man are very quiet and thoughtful. This time, they are going to Tushita Celestial Palace to find their elders."
You sit down and discuss the truth."
This Ran Deng has a close friendship with Laojun, and every thousand years he will come out of Buddhism to Tusita Palace to discuss the Tao. This is something that many great powers in the three realms know.
All the monks in the hall became quiet, but only a few Buddhas and Bodhisattvas still had frowns on their faces.
They knew clearly that more than ten years ago, the ancient Buddha Deng Deng had already gone to Tusita Celestial Palace. At that time, he informed the Tathagata in advance and then left. However, he was not as eager as he is now.
What happened?
"Um?"
In the Tushita Palace, Mo Li, who was in seclusion, suddenly felt an unpredictable aura coming over him. He instinctively opened his eyes and looked outside.
Outside the Tushita Palace, I saw an old Buddha standing at the door, with a thin face, surrounded by the light of the wise and enlightened Buddha behind him.
It is the past Buddha of the third generation of Buddhism, Ran Deng!
The old Buddha noticed Mo Li's gaze, gave a slight salute, and then shouted to the Tushita Palace, which was blocked by the formation: "Old monk has come to pay homage to the Supreme Lord, and I hope that the Lord will grant me an audience."
Lantern Ancient Buddha, what is he doing here?
Mo Li had a fleeting thought in his mind, but he suppressed it immediately.
No matter what the other party is doing, the top priority is to practice, just waiting to get out of seclusion and fight the Jade Emperor.
He slowly closed his eyes and fell into the deepest state of enlightenment.
The location of Tushita Palace has long been completely shrouded in fairy mist, making it impossible to see what's going on inside.
However, the Deng Deng Ancient Buddha was not in a hurry. He just stood there and waited quietly without any intention of intruding.
He didn't dare to break in at all.
Don't look at the fact that his Taoism is already at the peak of immortality, but facing this Tushita Palace with the Liangyi Mote Formation activated, no one in the Three Realms dares to enter without permission!
In the past, the Demon King stepped into the Golden Immortal Realm with the intention of taking the Tushita Palace under his command. He stepped into the Tushita Palace alone, but was trapped by the two Yi dust formations. If Laojun hadn't let him out in the end,
, I am afraid that this demon emperor will be trapped to death in the two Yi dust formations!
Since then, no powerful person has dared to enter Tushita Palace without permission.
The Ancient Buddha of Ran Deng believed that he was far inferior to the Demon Emperor, and even he was inferior to the Jade Emperor Tathagata and others.
After being defeated by Tathagata, he had long lost his desire to fight for the Way. He came to Tushita Palace just for a trace of obsession.
Fortunately, this kind of waiting did not last too long, but in a matter of ten breaths, a portal appeared in the fairy mist.
He stepped in, not going to the alchemy room, but heading towards the Zhuling alchemy platform by familiar means.
After walking for a short time, we arrived at the place. Sure enough, Laojun was already waiting on the Zhuling Alchemy Platform.
There was a chessboard in front of the other party. Seeing him coming up, he asked with a half-smile: "Didn't you just finish discussing Tao a few days ago? Do you still want to come and play chess with me today?"
"Amitabha."
Ran Deng bowed and said with a smile: "I am here today not to talk about Taoism or to play chess. I only have one question I want to ask you, Laojun."
"Sit down, sit down, we'll talk about it later. Let's play a game of chess with the old man first."
The old man ordered: "With gold and silver horns, make a pot of ancient Bodhi tea that the old Taoist has hidden in the tea room, and invite the ancient Buddha to enjoy it."
"Yes, sir." The two boys responded and immediately went down to prepare.
A smile appeared on Ran Deng's face and he said: "In this case, the old monk will be disrespectful."
The ancient Bodhi tea is picked from the Bodhi tree. This innate spiritual root has the miraculous effect of helping people realize the Tao and practice. Especially after the Buddha Tathagata attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, the Bodhi tree was regarded as a sacred tree of Buddhism.
However, with the passage of time and the changes in the three realms, the bodhi tree has long been unable to adapt to the environment of the world and has withered. The only innate spiritual root that still exists in the world is the laurel tree growing on the lunar star.
Only ancient beings like Laojun who have lived from ancient times to the present can have stocks of ancient Bodhi tea like this.
Make tea and play chess.
The golden horn and the silver horn then served on the left and right.
The black and white pieces are fighting each other, vaguely like a giant Buddha and a Taoist fighting each other. As the two men continue to make moves, the murderous intent on the chessboard becomes more and more intense, like a battlefield, which contains endless power of destruction!
The two boys didn't dare to look at the chessboard at all. They looked at their noses with their eyes, their noses with their hearts, and waited quietly.
This wait lasted more than ten days.
During this period, the two people playing chess did not exchange a word, and they kept making moves with each other. Finally, as the last white stone fell, Lao Jun said with a smile: "It seems that the old Taoist is more skilled, and he will give in and give in."
"Brother Taoist, the old monk is dead." Ran Deng said with a smile.
When Jinjiao and Silverjiao heard this, they felt very strange. If you lose, you lose. How come you are dead?
Unexpectedly, Laojun said: "You have died a long time ago!"
Ran Deng smiled and said, "Brother Dao, what do you think?"
"No matter what, don't bother me with your own affairs."
The old gentleman waved his hand and said impatiently: "The old Taoist just wants to guard the Tusita Palace and refine elixirs, and has no interest in meddling in your affairs."
"That would be perfect!"
Ran Deng smiled slightly and gave a half salute: "Then I will go back!"
Laojun shook his head, noncommittal.
Without saying much more, Ran Deng raised the lotus platform, left Tushita Palace, and descended to the thirty-third heaven.
However, he did not turn back to the west, but went straight towards the underworld.
I don’t know how long it took, but the burning lamp suddenly stopped on the lotus platform.
Huhu~~~
A gust of gloomy wind blew past, and only a wisp of black energy overflowed from the gloomy wind, transforming into a tall middle-aged man wearing a black robe and with long hair shawl. Who else could he be if he wasn't Wu Tian?!
The middle-aged man had an indifferent expression, and his black robe was like a black hole, absorbing all the light. He stood there quietly, like a collection of all the evil and filth in the world.
Demon Ancestor, Wutian!
Amidst the gusts of gloomy wind, Wu Tian and Ran Deng looked at each other calmly.
Contrary to the expectations of others, the atmosphere of this meeting between Buddha and demon turned out to be very calm, and there was no tension at all.
After a while, Ran Deng sighed slightly: "Have you decided?"
"When I show up here to see you, there's no turning back."
Wutian looked calm and said calmly.
"But you came early."
There was a hint of unbearability in the look of the Ran Deng Ancient Buddha, and he said: "Fifteen hundred years later, the fate of heaven and earth will dictate, by then..."
"I said, there is no turning back, and I can't wait for that moment."
Wutian's eyes were deep, full of determination and madness. He was born at this moment, and he had already staked everything.
That's right, what's standing here is no longer the incarnation of Black Lotus, but Wu Tian's true body.
Fifteen hundred years, he couldn't wait any longer.
In recent years, or in other words, since Li Moli was born, the situation in the Three Realms has changed too fast.
An old monster like Kun Peng would die in the hands of Mo Li, and the Jade Emperor actually used the opportunity of becoming a god to gather his luck and become as powerful as the Golden Immortal!
However, he had no fear with the help of the Golden Immortal's power from the Guo position. However, the last time he fought with Mo Li, he really felt fear and urgency.
How many years had passed before Mo Li, who was in the early stage of becoming a Heavenly Immortal, was actually able to compete with him. That Black Lotus, the true form of the World-Destroying Black Lotus, was enough to unleash his full power!
But now, Na Mo Li is still in retreat in Tushita Palace, intending to make another breakthrough, and Wu Tian feels that he can't wait any longer.
If the other party really succeeds in breaking through and his Daoxing increases, I'm afraid that I will no longer be his opponent.
Because of the pressure brought by Li Moli, Wutian had made all preparations in these years and was born early.
The first thing he had to do was to meet Ran Deng.
Ran Deng sighed again and said: "You were born more than a thousand years ago. Although your magic power is powerful, it is difficult to suppress the way of heaven and become the supreme in this world! However, Tathagata will definitely not confront you head-on. Can you deal with the Jade Emperor?
, whether you can deal with other people depends on your own methods."
In the three realms, yin and yang are balanced. Since there are gods and Buddhas, there will naturally be demons.
Gods and Buddhas are high above, but the way of heaven is moving and everything is not eternal.
Fifteen hundred years later, the destiny of heaven fell in love with the path of magic. At that time, the demons rose and the path disappeared, and Wutian would be invincible in the three realms. In thirty-three years, if he could break through to the Golden Immortal in one fell swoop with the help of luck during that period,
, subdue the way of heaven, and the gods and Buddhas will never stand up again.
But he could no longer wait for that moment.
"Have you ever met Taishang Laojun before? What did he say?"
Wutian asked with a hint of inexplicable meaning in his expression.
"Laojun is inaction, so naturally he won't say anything."
Ran Deng lowered his eyes and said.
"In this way, I feel at ease. Don't worry, if I get the luck of Lingshan, no one can be my opponent, and I will definitely attain enlightenment. You don't have to worry!"
Wutian bowed slightly and looked at Ran Deng with a complicated expression.
There are innate gods and demons in this world, and their ways are unpredictable. However, with the end of the ancient era, many great powers have left, and not many survive today. Taishang Laojun and Yuanshi Tianzun are the two most special ones.
They are inextricably linked to the way of heaven in this world, and even golden immortals must be treated with caution.
However, after the Conferment of Gods is over, Yuanshi Tianzun will not take action as long as the Heavenly Court is not destroyed, and after receiving these words from Laojun, Wutian can let go.
Ran Deng nodded slightly, with a hint of compassion on his thin face, and said: "The old monk has been enlightened for a long time. He should have gone to death solemnly for thousands of kalpas in the past to pursue the fruit of the great path! But he didn't want to, because he saw the debate between Hinayana Buddhism and Mahayana Buddhism.
A trace of delusion, shouldn’t be, shouldn’t be!”
Just like when he told Laojun before that he was dead, Laojun replied, "You should have died long ago."
Ran Deng should have disappeared from the world before a thousand kalpas, but he remained in the world for thousands of kalpas only because of a delusion he had.
He was not convinced by Tathagata, so he went to Tushita Palace with his party to help Wutian.
"I don't think what you said is right!"
Wutian shook his head slightly and said: "It is difficult to cross the sea of suffering. Crossing it is already as difficult as climbing to heaven, so how can we cross people? Mahayana Buddhism is nothing more than clever words and tricks. When the young monk was expelled from Buddhism, he already understood it. Now the young monk has been living in the underworld for a long time.
, In the 1.4 billion years since the creation of the world, all the evil spirits of all living beings have been absorbed by the little monk. Now it is time for the little monk to destroy Mahayana Buddhism and rectify the world."
The doctrinal dispute is the most cruel. Wutian now is the Kinnara who was expelled from Buddhism. If it were not for the ancient Buddha Deng Deng, he would not be alive long ago.
Wutian's expression became more and more indifferent, and the endless demonic energy in his body boiled, and flashes of pure demonic light shrouded the burning lamp:
"The birth of the little monk is the continuation of the dispute between Hinayana Buddhism and Mahayana Buddhism. There can only be one way between heaven and earth!"
"Those who have become demons have transcended the three realms and are free and at ease. You have done a great job in protecting the Tao and should be regarded as the ancestor of all demons!"
Enveloped by the endless magic light, Ran Deng felt neither sadness nor joy. He clasped his hands together and sighed slightly: "Good, good! Old monk, I hope you can win."
As he finished speaking, endless Buddha light bloomed all over his body, but his body slowly dissipated, leaving only a golden relic spinning slowly in the endless demonic energy.
That is the path and fruit of burning lamps, and it is also the highest attainment of Hinayana Buddhism.
In the past, Kinnara abandoned the Buddha and became a demon, so that Wutian could be what he is today. However, without the original Buddha, Wutian today is incomplete after all. Only by completing this part can he truly take that step.
.
Buzz buzz~~~~
The magic light covering the sky slowly condensed, covering the relic of Ran Deng, gradually becoming indistinguishable from each other.
The Buddha's light is the magic light, and finally, they become one!
Huhu~~~
Gusts of gloomy wind blew by, but there was no trace of the ancient lamp-burning Buddha in the world. Only Wutian, dressed in black robes, sat on a black lotus with a calm expression.
His face was calm, and there was not a trace of fluctuation in his heart. There was no sadness of the dying lamp, nor the pleasure of greatly increasing his mana.
There is only peace, a calm as deep as the night.
"Tathagata, I am here, are you ready?"
His eyes swept to the west, where the endless Buddha light illuminated the sky, which was the Great Leiyin Temple of the West.
Buzzing…
Wutian's figure moved and dissipated in the sky, while wisps of demonic energy had risen from the underworld and slowly spread to the mortal world, as if to cover the three realms and six realms.
