Chapter 46, Buddha and Taiqing, Taoist priests descending the mountain
After suspecting that he seemed to have been arranged by others, Lin Yuan's heart, which was once restless, calmed down.
The planner has always been behind the scenes, dispatching the chess pieces to accomplish his goals.
If you end up in person, you will be inferior. If you are not careful, you will be manipulated.
Unless
Lin Yuan can still be like in the Lotus Lantern world, possessing invincible power that sweeps through everything from the beginning.
But obviously not now.
"Although I do have some interest in everything I do now, no matter what, I have to do it according to my own ideas"
therefore.
This time, Lin Yuan did not intend to do it himself to find Guan Yu's head.
and.
As a god in the sky, it is obviously not a good behavior to rashly show his power in the human world, break into the human dynasty and seize things.
Although Lin Yuan doesn't care about incense, or even his own reputation, he is now playing the role of a righteous god in heaven. If his reputation is bad, it will bring trouble to him if he does other things in the future.
He didn't want to be cast aside by everyone in the world when he was about to establish the Yuanhuang Sect.
It would be nice to let Guan Yu get his head back by himself.
Justified.
But when Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva returned to Lingshan, he told the Buddha that he was no match for the True Lord of Qingyuan Miaodao and could not recapture Guan Yu from his hands.
Buddha stares:
"I have also seen Qingyuan Miao Dao Zhenjun. Although he has a good uncle and a good master, and he is very talented, he is playful by nature. He has restrained his temper in recent years and can handle various matters with peace of mind in front of the Northern Emperor. Affairs.
Logically speaking, although his Taoist cultivation is pretty good among the immortals and gods in the sky, it is still far behind you. How could you not be your opponent? ”
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is considered to be the best in the entire Lingshan Buddha Land except for the Tathagata level.
After all, he already had the power of a true Buddha, but he only made a great wish to never become a Buddha until hell is empty, so he has always been called Bodhisattva.
But on the Lingshan Mountain, there are only a few people who can call the true Buddha.
The Buddhas in Lingshan rumored by the outside world only include Bodhisattvas, Arhats and other attainments. Strictly speaking, these are not true Buddhas.
There are countless Buddhas named Buddha, but they are just one of the incarnations of the few true Buddhas
For example, the Buddha Sakyamuni Buddha is the leader of the world of the third generation of Buddhas and the living Buddha of the third generation of Buddhas.
He is also the Dharmakaya Buddha Vairocana Buddha of the three Buddhas, and the Central Great Sun Tathagata Buddha of the five Buddhas, and even one of the three sages of Huayan
There are countless incarnations of Buddha in just one person.
Anyway.
There are very few people in Lingshan who can be called true Buddhas.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is only a Bodhisattva. With the power of a true Buddha, he is already regarded as the top being in the Lingshan Mountain.
If placed in the underworld, he would be the ruler of the underworld. If placed in heaven, he would be no less powerful than Emperor Ziwei.
However.
Such existence.
But was defeated by Prime Minister Zuo in front of the Northern Emperor?
Faced with the Buddha’s doubts, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said:
"The strength of Qingyuan Miao Dao Zhenjun is actually about the same as mine. At most, he is slightly stronger than me. But his eyesight that day was terrifying."
"I even doubt that if he had used all his strength from the beginning and opened the Eye of Heaven, I might not even be able to survive the first session!"
After hearing Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's description, Tathagata frowned.
His own strength is not much different from it, but one day his eyesight is extremely terrifying?
"How does his Heavenly Eye compare with my Buddhist Heavenly Eye? Or, does it come from my Buddhist Heavenly Eye?"
Buddha asked again.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva thought for a moment, then shook his head:
"His heavenly eye, in my perception, does not have a trace of Buddhism, on the contrary."
"What's the opposite?"
"On the contrary, it's like it was created in heaven, it seems like it's an innate supernatural power that you are born with." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said.
"Innate magical powers, are you born with them?"
Buddha frowned.
He did not doubt Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's judgment, but this judgment made him unable to understand it for a while. Most of the so-called innate magical powers are manifested at birth. For example, Nezha's three heads and six arms are a kind of innate magical powers that are present at birth.
But the Buddha remembered that when the Qingyuan Miao Dao Zhenjun was born, there was no celestial eye manifested.
"Could it be given by that being?"
Buddha looked to the sky.
If it was the One who gave it, that would explain it.
And this also made him sigh:
"God is so kind to me. How can I be so kind?"
Buddha said again:
"Let's put this matter aside for now. The True Monarch of Qingyuan Miao Dao accepted Guan Yu and will probably find his head for him in the future. Guan Yu's head is currently being placed in the pagoda of Daxing City to be enshrined."
He looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva:
"Guanyin, please take a trip and tell the people there that if Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun or Guan Yu come to ask for the head, don't stop it, just return it to them."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded:
"Yes."
Then he stood on the lotus platform and left.
Seeing this, a Bodhisattva said:
"Are we going to let the True Lord Qingyuan Miaodao destroy our Buddhist arrangements?"
Buddha said:
"Everything in the world is predestined. Just watch it. When the time comes, it will change."
Qingcheng Mountain.
"You won't know until you come down to the mortal world. You will know it only after you come down to the mortal world. It's really a waste of effort for Buddhism to flourish in China."
Taiqing's eyes shone with a faint white light, seeming to understand many causes and effects in the world.
Since that time when he manifested his true spirit, he has never gone back and has always stayed in this incarnation.
Anyway, he had an excuse, it was to teach Lin Yuanfan's brother well, no one could say anything.
But now in the human world, he could clearly see more of the Buddhist arrangements, which was much clearer than what he had calculated in heaven before.
He personally witnessed the many cover-ups of Buddhism, but he could no longer hide completely.
"Humph, the Holy King Yang Jian of the Wheel, Yang Guang, the Pig Woman Dragon, and the Heavenly King Bisha are divided into two, one bright and one dark. Li Jing, the bright one, and Li Jiancheng, the dark one, are really well prepared."
He looked in the direction of Fengdu again.
It seemed that Guan Yu was leading an army of Yin soldiers, heading straight towards Daxing City, the capital of the Sui Dynasty.
"It seems that my disciple has conquered Guan Yu. Although I don't know why he suddenly did this, but now I think he wants Guan Yu to retrieve his head.
Why don't you take action yourself and let Guan Yu go on his own? ”
"You feel something too, but how can it be so easy to become a chess player?"
Taiqing flicked his fingers, and a wisp of fresh air shot out straight into a Taoist temple not far ahead.
In the Taoist temple, Zhao Mian was meditating, and the pure air entered his body. He was suddenly shocked, and his eyes opened with a look of sudden enlightenment, as if he had understood the truth of the Tao in an instant.
"The Tao can be Tao, but it is not Tao. After practicing for many years, I now know what the Tao is!"
Immediately, he stood up, walked out of the Taoist temple, found his master, clasped his hands and said to him:
"Master, I have understood some great ways, but I deeply feel that it is useless to cultivate in secret. I want to enter the world of mortals for a while."
Taiqing nodded and waved the Buddha dust:
"Yes."
Zhao Mian was about to turn around and leave when Taiqing said again:
"When you enter the world of mortals, you will encounter a calamity. Now I give you this whisk to help you survive this calamity."
The fly whisk then floated towards Zhao Mian and fell into his hand.
Zhao Mian looked at the seemingly ordinary floating and falling in his hands and was stunned for a moment, then he bowed deeply and said:
"Thank you, Master."
