Chapter 304 The Way of Humanity and Heaven
When the people of Kyushu are being robbed, if the disciples of the Western Sect can step forward and save the people from the fire and water. Not only can you gain faith, but you can also complete your mission. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
But if you want to do this, you still need Ao Bing’s consent. After all, he is the founder of the incense Shinto. Without his consent, Western religions would not be able to collect incense in the East.
"Anyone who has meritorious service can build a temple."
"If the disciples of the Western religion can quell the evil and save the people from fire and water, then no one in the Nine Provinces will stop you from preaching. .”
How come Ao Bing couldn't hear Amitabha's plan, but he didn't really care.
The acquired merits began with him, and the sacred way of incense was opened by him. He is the veritable ancestor of incense. In the future, if anyone practices the way of incense, no matter who he is or where he comes from, he must be regarded as his ancestor. Ancestor.
Every festival, his presence is indispensable no matter what.
In addition, the most important thing is that although Ao Bing plans to pass down the method of collecting the power of incense and wish, he does not intend to pass on the method of purifying the power of incense into acquired merit.
Although acquired merit comes from the power of incense and aspiration, it is the product of its sublimation. It is not only purer, but also has some mysteries.
Even if others try their best, they can only refine all the impurities in the incense and aspiration, turning it into the purest spiritual light, but they cannot sublimate it into acquired merit.
Only Ao Bing, using Shinto luck as fire and burning incense and vows, can sublimate it into acquired merit.
It can be said that this is the benefit of Ao Bing as the ancestor of incense. He is the only one between heaven and earth who can refine the acquired merits.
As long as he still masters the method of sublimating the power of incense and vows into acquired merits, it doesn't matter if the incense and the Shinto are not spread outside the country, it will not affect him at all.
In other words, precisely because of mastering the core method, the wider the spread of Incense Shinto, the more beneficial it will be for him, and everyone will be working for him.
Unless those forces that have to spread the incense and the sacred way can endure the temptation of upgrading the power of incense into more mysterious acquired merits.
Otherwise, no matter how much incense and wish power they collect, they will eventually be sent to Ao Bing, asking him to sublimate it into acquired merit.
This is also the reason why Ao Bing dared to teach outsiders the incense and fire Shinto. Unable to resist the temptation of acquired merit, one must be controlled by it.
If you can refuse the temptation of acquired merit, then because the effect of pure incense and aspiration is not as good as acquired merit, your competitiveness will be far inferior to Ao Bing.
On the same basis, whoever uses better resources will naturally develop faster. How can a person who grew up eating dirt be better than someone who grew up eating meat?
"Evil demons and heretics will be punished by everyone. I, the Western Sect, have come to the East just to eliminate demons, and I swear not to coexist with them."
After receiving Ao Bing's reply that he allowed them to preach, Amitabha immediately righteous He expressed his position righteously.
This is the deal. From now on, the conditions for Western religion to preach in Kyushu will be to completely eliminate demons and defend the Tao.
No matter where there are evil spirits making trouble, after Western religions get the news, they cannot ignore it and must send disciples to solve it. No matter what the price is, no matter what the price is.
If this condition is violated, the Western religion will suffer a backlash from fate, and will no longer be able to preach in Kyushu in the future.
"Please also ask Mr. Long to pass on the incense god to help our ancestors transform into incense gods to resist the invasion of evil gods from all directions."
After Ao Bing reached the terms with the Western Sect, the princes present got the opportunity and stood up one after another. , paid homage to him, and begged him to pass on the incense and the sacred way.
Although Ao Bing had promised them before that he would pass down the incense and fire shrine. But as the saying goes, the law should not be passed lightly. It is impossible to wait for Ao Bing to take the initiative to speak, right?
They still have to show the attitude they should have. This is not only respect for Ao Bing, but also respect for Xianghuo Shinto.
"Okay, even if you are determined to eliminate the evil gods for all living beings, I cannot be stingy. I will teach you the incense and sacred way to help you quell the chaos of the evil gods and protect the common people."
Ao Bing did not embarrass everyone, and immediately proclaimed the divine words and passed on to them the practice method of Incense and Fire Shinto.
In fact, the method of practicing incense and fire is not much different from the traditional method of cultivating in immortality. It just changes the spiritual energy into incense and wishes.
In addition, there are also more ways to respond to believers on call.
Of course, Ao Bing did not pass down the most critical secret method in the incense and Shinto system, which is to combine the spirit of mountains and rivers with the power of incense to condense the Shinto talismans.
This is the method of conferring a god. It is the same as the secret method of sublimating acquired merits. It is the foundation for the establishment of a god emperor. It must be firmly held in one's own hands and must not be handed over to outsiders.
"The Divine Way of Incense and Fire is indeed mysterious. It seems similar to the Immortal Way, but it is actually very different."
"Today's mainstream cultivation methods, whether they are Xuanmen Immortal Way, Western heretics, or demonic ways, are all It pays attention to the practice of escaping from the world, integrating with the heaven and earth, and specializing in the study of the way of heaven and earth."
"But this incense and fire divine way does the opposite. It not only hides from the world, but also joins the world and polishes itself in the world of mortals. Insight into the wonders of heaven and man in the hearts of hundreds of millions of people."
All the princes in the hall were immersed in the sermon and could not extricate themselves, but the disciples of the two sects were different. While listening to Ao Bing's sermon, they subconsciously put the incense. Compare Shinto with the system you practice.
Then they were surprised to find that Incense Shinto was completely contrary to the mainstream.
While all systems of spiritual practice emphasize escaping from the world and cutting off causal connections with the outside world, it is the only one that advocates joining the world and forming causal connections with all living beings.
“This is the true method of human cultivation. Other systems come from heaven and earth, work alone, and finally transcend heaven and earth. Only this method comes from all living beings, and finally transcend together with all living beings. . ”
Soon, the disciples of the two religions realized the essential difference between Incense Shinto and other cultivation systems.
This way does not cultivate the way of heaven, but only cultivates the way of humanity, and lives and dies together with all living beings. Unlike other systems, it seeks the way of heaven and wants to be transcendent, in order not to coexist or die with heaven and earth.
“Is everyone like a dragon?”
"Although this way is good, it is not suitable for us. It is extremely difficult to save oneself from transcendence, let alone to save all sentient beings and achieve transcendence together."
"The ambition of Shinto is too great, even if we reach it, In the end, he has power that rivals that of a saint. It is difficult to transcend, and you will eventually be burdened by other beings and perish in immeasurable calamities."
After coming back to his senses, the disciples of Chanjiao couldn't help but shake their heads. While admiring Ao Bing's courage, he also felt sorry for him. The future of Incense Shinto is full of worries and not very promising.
To cross all sentient beings in the world, everyone can transcend, everyone can be at ease, and everyone can reach the other shore. This is the intention of Incense Shinto. It is not insignificant and can be called the best in ancient and modern times.
In order to become saints, the two saints of the West made forty-eight great wishes one after another. They only said that they would save all sentient beings in the West, but they did not dare to say that they would save all sentient beings in the prehistoric times.
However, although Ao Bing established the Incense Shinto, he did not say so, but it expressed this meaning.
Even though he disliked Ao Bing in his heart, Chanjiao Jinxian had to sigh in his heart that Ao Bing's courage was indeed rare in ancient and modern times, especially above the two sages in the West. However, admiration does not prevent them from being optimistic about the future of Incense Shinto.
I would like them to teach the Golden Immortal that whether it is footwork, luck, or birth, they are all the best in heaven and earth.
But that's it, they still have a lot of difficulties if they want to transcend, and they still have no hope.
Even with their background, let alone those mortals who are nothing, the road to transcendence will only be more difficult and dangerous.
However, the Incense Divine Way has to protect countless such mortals from transcendence, so that they can reach the other side and escape from the catastrophe of heaven and earth. This is countless times more difficult than everyone is like a dragon, and it is simply impossible to achieve.
Since it cannot be done, it is not difficult to foresee the future of Incense Shinto.
No matter how prosperous it is, even if it is comparable to the saints, it cannot be transcended. In the end, it can only die under countless calamities and be buried with heaven and earth.
Being burdened by all living beings, it is impossible to escape the end of destruction. This is the future ending of Incense Shinto.
"It's a pity that Renlong didn't switch to Xianghuo Shinto. If so, that would be great."
Chanjiao Jinxian could see clearly that although Ao Bing was the founder of Xianghuo Shinto, his major was still the same. It was a pity that they did not switch to the Immortal Way and did not switch to the Incense and Fire Divine Way.
If Ao Bing turns to Xianghuo Shinto, his fate is basically foreseeable. No matter how amazing and talented he is, he will never be able to transcend in this life. He will not be able to be immortal like a saint, and he will eventually be destroyed. fate.
It is true that although it is difficult for them to transcend, compared with Ao Bing, who has no possibility of transcending after converting to the Incense Divine Way, they still have a chance of transcending.
“This incense Shinto is simply tailor-made for my Western religion.”
"The ambition of our Western religion is to save all living beings in the West, so that everyone can transcend, and then allow the West to achieve unprecedented prosperity."
"But the ambition of this Incense Shinto is even greater than that of our Western religion. Even better, I want to conquer all the living beings in the world and transcend with them.”
“It’s so shocking!”
Unlike the disciples of the Western sect, Amitabha is a disciple of the Western sect. After learning about the specific practice method of Xianghuo Shinto, I felt that the two channels of Ren and Du had been opened, and countless inspirations came to my mind.
Because Incense Shinto is so compatible with Western religions, he only needs to make slight changes to create a practice system that is unique to the West but is also based on the power of Incense's aspiration.
In fact, Ao Bing’s incense and fire divine way was originally copied from the Buddhist way of later generations. In the original history, the first person to study the magical effect of incense and vows was Amitabha.
Based on the power of incense and vows, he created Hinayana Buddhism, then opened up the Western Paradise and became the founder of Buddhism.
After him, Duobao reincarnated into the West, incarnated as Tathagata Buddha, created Mahayana Buddhism, overwhelmed Hinayana Buddhism, and replaced Amitabha Buddha, becoming the new supreme Buddha.
That is to say, starting from Tathagata Buddha, the teachings of Buddhism began to change.
It is no longer about the great prosperity of the West, nor is it about the Hinayana Buddhism to save oneself from transcendence, but a more grand one, to cross the sea of suffering for all the people in the world and reach the other shore.
The so-called Incense Shinto is essentially the result of Buddhism stolen by Ao Bing from later generations. It has the same origin as Western religion, but has several advanced versions.
When I saw Amitabha, I couldn’t be more shocked. Because this is the result of what he thought and further extended on this basis.
"Mr. Long, the sacred way of incense is indeed mysterious."
"But in the sacred way of incense taught by you, although there is a method to remove the distracting thoughts of all living beings and purify the power of incense, it does not make the incense The method of condensing vows into acquired merit, I wonder why?”
As time passed, the enlightened princes woke up one after another, and soon, some princes couldn’t wait to ask Ao Bing. .
They admitted that there was indeed nothing wrong with the sacred way of incense and fire taught by Ao Bing, but it was missing a key method, which was the method of condensing incense and making vows for acquired merit.
With the wisdom of the princes, how could they not guess that Ao Bing deliberately concealed this method, but they were happy to pretend to be confused.
After all, this method is extremely important. If you can get it out of Ao Bing by pretending to be confused, you will undoubtedly make a lot of money. On the contrary, even if they can't find out, they have nothing to lose.
"Without this method, can the Incense Shinto be practiced?"
Ao Bing did not answer the princes' questions, but asked rhetorically.
"Of course it is possible. The incense divine way taught by Duke Long is extremely perfect. Although there is no method to condense acquired merit, the purification method contained in it is enough to remove all the distracting thoughts in the incense aspiration."
Then. The princes replied honestly.
After the will power of sentient beings is refined by incense, most of the distracting thoughts in it are burned. After that, the will power is refined according to the purification method taught by Ao Bing, even if all the distracting thoughts in the wish power cannot be eliminated. .
Absorbing it at this time will have no harm to the soul and will not interfere with one's own intelligence.
However, although the effect of such incense and wish power is comparable to spiritual energy, it cannot be called acquired merit. It cannot make up for one's own shortcomings, repair the foundation, strengthen the foundation, let alone refine heavy treasures.
It's okay if the princes have never seen the acquired merits. Now that they have seen it, they are naturally very dissatisfied with Ao Bingliu's actions.
“As long as it works.”
“The method of sublimating the power of incense and incense into acquired merit is the most fundamental authority of incense and fire Shinto. You are neither my direct descendants nor my direct descendants. My direct descendant Disciple, why should I teach you this method?”
“Is it like giving the authority in your hands to outsiders for no reason?”
Ao nodded. B replied truthfully. He bluntly said that his relationship with everyone was limited, and he was not close enough to share authority with them. His ability to teach them the incense and sacred ways was already the limit.
"That's the case, then we won't force it. I just have one more thing to ask Duke Long, that is, if we want to obtain acquired merits, what price will we have to pay?"
After hearing this, all the princes immediately canceled The plan of having sex for free. If they continue to talk with the intention of having sex for free, what will they do if Ao Bing in turn asks them to hand over their princes' power?
If you agree, you will become Ao Bing's vassal.
I don’t agree. If they can refuse Ao Bing’s unreasonable demands, then Ao Bing can naturally refuse their unreasonable demands.
You can’t go back to whoring for nothing. You still have to strive for acquired merits. At worst, you have to pay a little more.
