This Maitreya has a bald head and round face, always smiles, is dressed in yellow monk clothes, with his chest exposed, and has a really peaceful temperament.
After hearing Su Hanshan's words, his smile became even brighter: "To be honest, I'm at my wits' end with the current state of Buddhism. It would be great if the donor could give me some advice."
Su Hanshan shook his head: "Although the monk is not lying, he is avoiding the important and taking the easy, which is not honest enough."
"You may not have come up with any good solutions to the current situation in Buddhism, but Tathagata and the others should have made a plan long ago and left it to you to execute, right?"
Maitreya smiled slightly, nodded and said: "The donor has a sharp eye."
when! !
Kinnara Bodhisattva slammed the iron rod in his hand on the ground and hummed: "I'm afraid it's another trick to deceive people. Don't make any riddles. Just say it and let everyone listen."
Maitreya sighed slightly, with a troubled look on his face.
"Some things are easy to do but not to say, easy to say but not easy to hear. Maitreya Bodhisattva has difficulty speaking, so let me try to explain it."
While Su Hanshan was speaking, he waved his sleeves to take away the evil image of Lord Plague in the sky, and pointed at the Taiyuan.
The Tailun rotates again, and the scene of the first encounter between "Emperor Mu" and Jigong and Budai little monk emerges.
Immediately, everyone's figures disappeared, leaving only countless lines beating on the surface of Taiyuan, intertwined with each other, like a big net, weaving wider and wider.
There are all masters in the field, and it is natural to see that those lines seem to deduce the changes of cause and effect.
"Karma arises from cause and effect. Every cause must have its effect. Whatever you do, there will be a reward."
"The existence of the Void Black Lotus is the evil retribution brought about by Lingshan's empty promises and the overdraft of mana for so many years and the inability to repay the promise in time. Therefore, anyone up and down Lingshan who has used the Great Wish Technique cannot resist it."
< br>
"But in other words, the Black Lotus of the Void is specifically used to collect the price. If the power of the Black Lotus of the Void is taken away and used for other things, it will not be in line with the mission of its birth."
"As a result, an additional force will be generated between heaven and earth, which will be used to restrain the void black lotus."
Su Hanshan said, "When I first met the young monk Budai, and learned about the Black Lotus of Nothingness, the Leader of Tongtian Cult and other related matters, I had a vague perception in my heart. Now that I have seen the true form of Maitreya Bodhisattva and used the Taiyuan calculation, I can basically confirm it. ”
"After the Buddhist plot against Kinnara failed, they deliberately spread the word to lure the leader of Tongtian Cult to focus on the Black Lotus of Nothingness."
"Master Tongtian has gradually mastered the power of the Black Lotus. After mixing it with his own cultivation, it is inevitable that he cannot only use it to deal with Buddhism. Therefore, the power in the world that specifically conquers the Black Lotus will be born."
"The true mission of Maitreya Bodhisattva is to wait for the leader of the Tongtian Cult to act recklessly, and then secretly collect the power of mutual restraint to form a pure white lotus. When enough time has been accumulated, it will be used to offset the black lotus."
"Buddhism originally needed to be dormant for three hundred and thirty-three years before it could be revived. But after executing this plan, maybe within thirty years, the influence of Black Lotus can be healed and the mountain gate can be revitalized."
The Queen Mother of the West was quite moved when she heard this: "Tathagata Buddha is really hardworking and has far-reaching wisdom."
She had been deducing the exercises with Su Hanshan before, but her perspective had not changed yet. After hearing about Buddhism's plan, her first reaction was that Tathagata's ability to deduce the exercises was truly extraordinary.
This plan was made very early, and at that time, the Black Lotus of Nothingness had not yet officially appeared.
The Tathagata not only figured out the characteristics of the power of the black lotus, but also needed to figure out some characteristics of the power of the white lotus. Only then could he create a targeted secret method and teach it to Maitreya.
Let Maitreya be able to collect the loose power born from various places in time in the future when the leader of Tongtian is messing around, and gather a complete white lotus.
No wonder Maitreya wanted to reincarnate his Budai spirit into a ignorant little monk. He must have been trying to spread suspicion in order to make others relax their guard and make it easier for him to act in the future.
Kinnara was more outspoken. He put his stick on his shoulder, clapped vigorously and praised him full of praise.
"Good, good, good, good, good, good, tempting Tongtian to take the bait, wait for him to get the black lotus, stir up a bigger storm, so that he can benefit. This dirty plan is really in line with the consistent style of some high-level officials in Lingshan."
Maitreya Bodhisattva lowered his eyebrows and said: "As long as the Black Lotus of Nothingness appears in the world, for more than three hundred years, even if Tongtian does not get the news in advance, there will definitely be other ambitious people who will come to covet it."
"Instead of allowing chaos to breed, it is better to guide it. The Buddha's arrangement may seem a bit unreasonable, but in fact, from among many possibilities, he chose a method that is most likely to weaken the impact of the disaster and achieve multiple goals with one stone."
Kinnaluo laughed: "As long as Black Lotus appears, he will definitely be targeted by ambitious people. It's not your fault. Then why does Black Lotus appear?"
Maitreya Bodhisattva has a naturally smiling face, but he can't help but reveal a slightly wrinkled bitter smile: "Although he has good intentions and good causes, he may not get good results. This is indeed the fault of Buddhism."
If Naluo wanted to say more, Su Hanshan quickly waved his hand.
"Brother Kinnara, please be patient and don't be impatient. I believe that Tathagata Buddha's intention in inventing the art of great wishes was good. It is all my fault that people under the Buddhist sect later implemented it crookedly!"
Su Hanshan said, "This is your Lingshan's original plan. Now listen to the clear path I will show you."
"Your original idea was to shorten the time that those Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who have made great vows are affected and fall into silence. It is possible to wake up some of them after this short-term storm and preserve the strength of the top Buddhist sect."< br>
"But in my opinion, they should have paid the price. It's better not to stare at them all the time and focus more on the Buddhists in the mortal world."
A lake appeared in the taiwan, and hundreds of thousands of small fish were playing leisurely in the lake.
The art of great wishes also has a threshold. It can overdraw future mana. This kind of operation is not something that just anyone can do.
Therefore, basically all Buddhist disciples in the world have never made any great vows.
However, due to the extinction of all Buddhas, the enemy took advantage of the situation to counterattack. These human Buddhists have suffered a lot, and have suffered heavy casualties recently.
The hundreds of thousands of small fish in front of us are just the tip of the iceberg.
If Maitreya was not afraid of exposing his true identity, used his great magic power, and carefully searched for cause and effect, he would probably be able to find tens of thousands of recently reincarnated Buddhas.
"The theory of reincarnation is the most deeply studied in Buddhism. As long as many Buddhist disciples practice a certain amount of magic power, they can still form a bond with Buddha and worship in Buddhism after death."
"If you can cultivate immortal aura after many lifetimes of practice, then every life of practice will be considered as a reward. But those who cannot develop this aura are the vast majority. They practice all their lives and can at most get back the magic power of the previous life. You can’t get back the magic power foundation of the first three lives, or even the first nine lives.”
Su Hanshan said to Maitreya, "Bodhisattva, the third generation of Lingshan Buddha Sect, you are the only one who still exists."
"If you give up practicing the method of collecting the power of white lotus and spend all your energy on saving the monks, it will be possible to help them regain the magic power of each life and make Buddhism great."
Maitreya Bodhisattva responded: "I will definitely rescue the mortal monks in the future. This is also my Maitreya's original intention, and I will never violate it. However, it is not appropriate to rush to call them back now, or even retrieve the magic power of their previous lives for them."< br>
"Even if we retrieve the magic power for them from the first time they entered Buddhism to the present, their realm has never reached the level of immortal aura, and they simply cannot control such huge magic power."
"It's too big to be powerful, and it's difficult to use magical powers. Facing those big demon giants and powerful dragons, it's still vulnerable, and it actually harms them."
At this time, Kinnara Bodhisattva also nodded and said: "There are many monks in the world, and there are also many relatives and friends, either because of family and friendship, or because of the local incense, or because of compassion. In short, once there is trouble in the three realms, we must do our best to deal with it. , is the right way.”
"But based on their strength, it is meaningless in the current big turmoil. It just makes them die one more time and adds to the pain."
Queen Mother Xi came back to her senses and knew what Su Hanshan was going to do, so she smiled and waved her sleeves lightly.
A breeze blew throughout the Kingdom of the Western Queen, and many ancient gods seemed to have received orders and dispersed, each with its own unique style, operating their skills.
Maitreya and Kinnara noticed her movements and looked up.
The Kingdom of the Western Queen is only a thousand miles in diameter. Although many ancient gods live in it, the mountains, rivers and land are nourished by the aura of the ancient gods. They are full of spiritual energy and have extraordinary charm. They are much stronger than ordinary mountains and rivers.
But for a master like Kinnara Bodhisattva, there is only a difference between being able to smash it with one stick and being able to smash it with two or three sticks.
Maitreya is not that martial, but his mental cultivation is very high. As long as he sits quietly and observes silently, he can find out everything within a radius of five or six thousand miles.
If there is a matter involving cause and effect, and with the help of extrapolation, his eyes can peer up into the heavens and down into the underworld. Sitting on the spiritual mountain in the west, he can look directly at the scenery of dust particles hundreds of thousands of miles away.
But now, just by looking at these thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, there is a feeling that makes the two Bodhisattvas very uncomfortable.
"What formation is this?!"
Kinnara tried to lift the stick, and felt as if he was pressed down by a huge mountain. The surroundings were clearly invisible and immaterial, but if he had the intention to use any stick technique, he would definitely be greatly hindered.
He was also very intelligent. He glanced around and asked in surprise, "Why does this formation seem to be so incomplete? How come it is so incomplete and already has such power?" Maitreya Bodhisattva's old eyes turned into golden ones and he looked around carefully. , said with emotion: " The lineage of ancient gods actually came up with such a formation. No, it seems that there is also a method of Xuanmen Qi refining, but Xuanmen Qi refining has long been running towards the stars and immortal womb. It is rare that there is such a method without asking. Stars, just ask about the great formation of mountains and rivers!”
Su Hanshan smiled and said: "The sounds of nature and the sounds of mountains and rivers seem grand and rough, but in fact they are meticulous. The magic power of Buddhists in the world, even if they cannot control themselves, as long as they are in our big formation and give a rough thrust, After wind, frost, rain and dew, mountains and rivers move, the air of the heavens and the earth changes in a cycle of transpiration, and it naturally becomes refined. ”
"Especially, we can invite powerful people like the Queen Mother of the West and all of you to serve as the center of the formation."
Maitreya Bodhisattva was silent, touched the rosary beads on his wrist, pinched the rosary beads and started turning them.
This rosary is also called counting beads. It has an extremely ancient origin. It existed before Buddhism was established. It was originally just used for counting. When Buddhism came, it was used to assist the practice of mind.
Thoughts are connected in series with one breath, thoughts are continuous and equal, and the mind is clear and peaceful.
There is no end to the practice of mind. Some monks in the world think that if they can enter samadhi, their mind will be clear. But in fact, even Bodhisattvas and Buddhas often hold rosary beads, and there will be times when they use rosary beads to calm their minds.
"The mission of the poor monk who occupies the position of the future Buddha is to offset the black lotus with the pure white lotus, awaken the Buddhist friends who have not yet completely died out as soon as possible, and bring a spiritual enlightenment to them and future Buddhist disciples. A clean future.”
Maitreya spoke slowly and looked at the surrounding mountains and rivers, "Although this formation of the donor is the best method, if you choose this method, you will really abandon the past and deviate from the path expected by the Buddhas. How can this be a good thing? ”
Su Hanshan casually took out a golden Buddha, put it in his mouth, and bit off the Buddha's head with a click. It was crunchy and tasted quite sweet. He said with a smile: "Bodhisattva, are you angry?"
The latest chapter of this novel was first published on 6@9书#. Please go to Liujiu Book Bar to read it!
Maitreya looked calm: "This is not a Buddha, why am I angry?"
Su Hanshan poured the red wine contained in the Golden Buddha into his mouth.
Kinnara had left Lingshan a long time ago and was in contact with Sun Wukong. He also loved wine. He was so greedy that he came over and Su Hanshan gave him half.
"I am not a person from the three realms, but an outsider. In my hometown, the Buddha was originally just an ancient man with quite a lot of thought and philosophy. Because his actions had a certain influence, he was decorated and used by others, and he developed all kinds of Something that was even used by the devil.”
"Evil people use him as a front to whitewash themselves. The younger generations who are ambitious and respect the Buddha do not want to see this kind of influence and are always used for bad things, so they also compile new Buddhist scriptures and encourage them to use it in bad ways." The right way.”
"But no matter good or evil, after all, they use the Buddhist school to carry their ideal pursuits. Ha, being able to be used as an introduction that has been passed down through the ages to carry so many new ideals may be the largest of the Buddhist school. The value lies in it”
Su Hanshan said with a smile, "Not just Buddha, but any gods, sages, or ancestors. When it is passed down and spreads widely, future generations will inevitably add their own ideas."
"Because I have lived long enough, the Tathagata in this world seems to be slightly different from other worlds."
"But the Tathagata himself is also a complex person. He not only performs ascetic practices and is based on practical cultivation, but also invents the art of great wishes. Therefore, even if he is alive, one action can be interpreted by other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in thousands of ways. , even he himself cannot say that these views are completely wrong.”
"Since he tolerates so many chaotic factions, what's wrong with changing the outdated plan he made during his lifetime?"
Maitreya still hesitated.
If Su Hanshan's path was chosen, even the leader of Tongtian Cult would be suppressed in less than three hundred years.
Buddhism no longer has the white lotus that it has collected long ago to counteract the black lotus. Those Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who have passed into silence will still remain in silence for three hundred and thirty three years, and their sentences cannot be reduced.
It is basically impossible to survive such a long state of silence. Most of the Buddhas in Lingshan will become the price of black lotus recycling.
"You still underestimated Master Tongtian back then. After he occupied Lingshan Mountain, he immediately sent people to search for Maitreya. I'm afraid he also saw your plan, but Black Lotus is really tempting to him, and he is not ready to give up. ”
Su Hanshan said, "So, will the damage caused to Lingshan by the leader Tongtian who was underestimated by you in the battle at Lingshan really be limited to your expectations?"
Maitreya Bodhisattva sighed and had to admit that he was right.
"And."
Su Hanshan smiled and added the last straw, "The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who arranged the plan for you have all disappeared. Will the leader of the existing Buddhist sect other than you approve of your plan?"
"Jigong is already the leader of all Arhats, and he should have noticed your plan, but what did he do?"
"He led you around, directed pangolins to Mu Tianzi's Mausoleum, tried to implicate Jingwei, took the little monk with a bag and went straight to Dongsheng Shenzhou, tried to help the Eight Immortals, and actively got involved in various major events."
"Do you really have the chance to stay out of the matter, waiting for the leader of Tongtian to cause trouble with the black lotus, and then secretly collect the white lotus yourself?"
I'm going to show you a clear path, not just that it's better than your original path, but that your original path won't work at all!
Su Hanshan didn't say the last part, but everyone seemed to have heard it.
"Master Jianglong..."
Maitreya Bodhisattva stopped holding the rosary in his hand and looked at the young monk Budai.
The little Budai monk was originally looking at the small fish reflected in Tai Lun's reflection, full of expectation, but now he turned to look at him.
For the little monk Budai, he only knows that he should help these mortal male and female monks. This is his mission as the "future Buddha".
"This is how Master Jianglong taught you, that's how it is."
Maitreya Bodhisattva put his palms together and bowed slightly to Su Hanshan, "The poor monk is willing to act according to the benefactor's plan."
Su Hanshan stood up, clasped his palms together, and said with a smile: "Only in this way can we be worthy of the future Buddha in the world, chanting Maitreya together, and praising the future Buddha."
"The poor monk was originally entrusted to try to counteract the black lotus as soon as possible and give Buddhism a clean future. Only then can he be called the future Buddha. It also represents the future that all the Buddhas in Lingshan in the past have hoped for."
Maitreya Bodhisattva said, "The future is different now. If we use the name of the future Buddha again, alas, I feel a little uncomfortable."
Kinnaluo clapped his hands and said, "What's the matter? Let's change my name. I knew they were trying to trick me back then, so I almost wanted to go to Lingshan and change my name to Wutian. Let's show them what lawlessness means. If you think about it carefully, they also After failing to trick me, I gave up.”
Su Hanshan said: "Let those who should have repaid their debts in the past repay their debts. This is called responsibility. Let those who should have reaped the rewards in the past also reap the rewards. This is justice. Sharing deeds and sharing, self-satisfaction, and clear gains and losses."
"You no longer want to be called Future Buddha. I will give you a name. May you be as responsible as Mount Sumeru. Everyone in the sect will be treated equally. Good deeds and bad deeds will be repaid. Shared deeds will be rewarded. King of Mount Sumeru." Buddha!”
Kinnara nodded slightly: "Buddha, the king of Mount Sumeru, sounds tough. Only if you can truly be fair can this Buddhist sect have a clean future."
As soon as Su Hanshan raised his hand, the nine-layered light wheel shrank sharply and floated in his palm.
"Three of you, you should first find the Buddhists, retrieve the mana, and set up the formation. I will go out for a while."
Kinnara said quickly: "Are you going to find the Eight Immortals? I can help."
"It is said that once the Eight Immortals gather, they will be used specifically to deal with the Tongtian Cult Master. Although it seems that none of them are particularly high in cultivation, the other seven Immortals also have mysteries, and they have not been caught to this day."
Su Hanshan smiled and said, "Brother Jinna Luo, have you been surrounded by several of the Seven Immortals before?"
Kinnara Bodhisattva nodded: "During this period, in fact, the other seven immortals can often get together, but without one, they cannot exert their true power. When being rushed by the most powerful person, in order to avoid being surrounded, they will Had to disperse.”
"Alas, we immortals in the East China Sea are all against the Dragon Clan now, but this is also the case. We gather and disperse, and it is difficult to muster enough strength to persevere."
Su Hanshan asked: "Brother Kinnara, what do you think is the most critical thing to break the Dragon Clan's great advantage now?"
Kinnara immediately said: "Of course we must find a way to deal with the Wuyun Patriarch who is always rushing people away, and the Yinyue Princess and others who are on guard against the elusive one. Stand firm and raise the banner..."< br>
"I don't think so."
Su Hanshan said, "Even if someone deals with Patriarch Wuyun, but the Eight Immortals cannot gather together, everyone will still be trapped in Dongsheng Divine Continent, Master Tongtian will still practice, and the Dragon King of Guixu will still be content."
"The real key lies not in Patriarch Wuyun and the others who are hunting down, chasing, and encircling and suppressing them, but in Lan Caihe who is trapped in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea!"
Su Hanshan took a step forward and disappeared.
"So, you guys stay busy here while I go and bring Lan Caihe back."
