"Bang."
The door of Room No. 1 was pushed open by Du Mo, and a strong smell of alcohol filled the whole room. The girls serving on the side were all drunk at once and fell into the deepest sweet dream.
Liu Sha twisted her slender waist, walked into the room with a smile, and threw a glance at the four great kings. On the surface of the four great kings' skin, wisps of pink fire of desire flashed. This was the fire of reproduction instinct in the nature of the creatures that Liu Sha had aroused. However, the four great kings had cultivated to the point where they were almost like a stone from the inside out, and were even more dead than a calm well.
These flames of desire only flickered slightly and then disappeared into thin air.
Liu Sha's magic power was in vain . She groaned, her two slender legs trembled, and she staggered back a few steps, then fell limp in Kong Qiu's arms. Her face was flushed, two streams of blood oozed from her nostrils, and she suddenly became much weaker.
Kong Qiu sighed. Seeing that the magical power of Liu Sha, the most difficult one among them, could not shake the four Vajra in the slightest, he knew that these were obviously four typical, pure, serious and orthodox Buddhist practitioners who had practiced the Buddhist skills to the bone marrow.
Well, in other words, even the natural instinct of reproduction, which can bring great happiness and joy, cannot shake their minds in the slightest. These four have cultivated themselves to the point where they have lost all their "humanity". They are just four statues that should be enshrined in a shrine for people to worship, not real living beings!
"Isn't it peaceful now?" Kong Qiu held Liu Sha's shoulders and sent her to Du Mo's arms. He strode into the room with his teaching stick in hand - here, he was the most accomplished person in Hongmei Heaven, Lingshan Da Leiyin Temple.
Moreover, as a serious scholar and a serious teacher, he has the spirit of a scholar and the stubbornness of an old scholar. At this moment, in this situation, if he doesn't go, who will?
His whole body was filled with the scent of books and ink. Wisps of the power of education transformed into invisible and traceless waves of Taoism and spread out in all directions. When Kong Qiu opened his mouth, every sentence and every word was like a ruler or a whip hitting the palm of a naughty child, with a crisp yet thought-provoking sound.
Old Bear Venerable was fine, he didn't have any special feelings about the voice of teaching, but the Four Vajras seemed to have encountered some deadly natural enemy. They stood up suddenly, Buddha's light surged around them, and they stared at Kong Qiu like ferocious monsters.
Then Kong Qiu laughed and said, "The world is peaceful? Isn't it that right now, at this moment, where we live, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and all walks of life are thriving... There are no bandits, no refugees, the elderly are well cared for, and the children are well cared for, isn't this peace?"
Pofa Jin Gang stared at Kong Qiu intently. After a moment's silence, he shook his head slowly: "This kind of peace is not the peace under the teachings of my Buddhist sect... Then, it is not peace!"
Kong Qiu widened his eyes in shock.
Jin Min took a deep breath.
Du Mo, Liu Sha, and those who came later, a group of dandy children from the former wealthy families in Heaven who had betrayed Heaven for various reasons and sought refuge in the Lingshan Leiyin Temple, looked at Vajra in disbelief!
That's what!
It really hit the nail on the head, directly tearing the skin off, naked, with no cover!
Today's Hongmeitian is indeed a place where all industries are thriving and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Under the potential influence of the Lingshan Leiyin Temple, even the indigenous wealthy families in Hongmeitian have carefully restrained their forces and have not engaged in excessive bullying of the people or acts in a tyrannical manner.
This place is a paradise!
Especially after the arrival of Kong Qiu, Du Mo, Jin Min, Liu Sha and others... they followed and pursued the Tao, and taught, interpreted and experienced their own Tao in Hongmeitian!
Even someone like Liu Sha, who was considered to be "shameless" by the moralists, greatly pleased the old men of Hongmeitian!
Because of the arrival of these peripheral members of the Lingshan Leiyin Temple, all walks of life in Hongmeitian have been developing at an astonishing speed these days... Even, to use Lu Yi's words from his previous life, in Hongmeitian, the "sprouts of capitalism" have sprouted, and a round of "small explosion of science and technology" has begun!
The entire Hongmei Heaven was originally no different from other poor and remote rural corners of the Supreme Taichu Heaven. The common people were in a daze and confused, and spent their days eating and waiting to die... But after Kong Qiu and his companions arrived, this place can really be described as changing with each passing day!
A brand new, lively, and fresh to the point of being 'unorthodox' vitality has been injected into Hongmeitian!
Everything here is changing with each passing day and developing vigorously.
And Pofa Jin Gang actually said - because this peace, this prosperity, this beauty, and the peaceful days that are bound to continue to be better and even better, are not 'granted' by Buddhism, nor are they 'recognized' by Buddhism, so... they do not recognize it!
Kong Qiu exhaled, and calmly asked Pofa Jin Gang: "Excuse me, Senior, what is the peace you believe in?"
Pofa Jin Gang pondered for a moment.
Perhaps it was because he was a powerful guardian of Buddhism, in other words, a thug. He was not the kind of eloquent monk who could make even the most stubborn stone nod its head. He was clumsy in speaking and not good at impressing people with words.
So, he clapped his hands lightly, and a vast Buddhist light surged. Amidst the rosy clouds and auspicious air, a paradise of Buddha appeared before everyone.
"This is the magnificent view of Wangchuan Continent in the past!" Pofa Jin Gang said calmly: "Although we are sleeping and recuperating from our injuries, we know clearly what Wangchuan looked like in the past!"
The golden light is shining brightly and the auspicious aura is rising.
That was the Wangchuan River before the destruction of the Nalanda Holy Land, the real Buddhist paradise. The beautiful mountains, waters and scenery there are hard to describe in mortal words. The peaks are carved from beautiful jade, the land is condensed from the seven treasures, and the river is flowing with gold, silver and other treasures, and the big fish and dragons with golden scales are playing and jumping in the river!
In the boundless and magnificent scenery, the people living on the Wangchuan Continent are all tall and strong, with ruddy faces and plump bodies. They are obviously well fed and warmly clothed, and have never lacked in material conditions.
They live and lie comfortably in the picturesque scenery, each with a smile on their face, appearing carefree, without any worries, no pressure, and no external threats.
They go to the Buddhist temple near their homes three times a day, morning, noon and evening, to pay homage to the Buddha statues and offer their sincere faith. Before going to bed every day, they recite the sutras, praising the Buddha and Bodhisattva they believe in, and once again offer their sincere and pure faith.
They don't farm every day, but the fields naturally produce a good harvest.
They do not weave every day, so their clothes will never wear out.
If they don't fish or hunt every day, countless prey will naturally come to them.
They have no worries, and they don't need to do anything. They have no worries about food and clothing, and can live and work in peace. They don't even need to know a single word, as long as they learn to praise the Buddha and Bodhisattva they believe in.
Eat well, dress warmly, remember to offer your faith and piety on time, and then reproduce to your heart's content every night, give birth to more descendants, bring them to this paradise, and let more descendants become the most pious, purest, and most flawless believers... This is their only mission and job.
"A peaceful and happy land!" Pofa Jin Gang praised: "Our Buddha is so merciful, and has such great power that we can be born in such a peaceful and happy land and enjoy such boundless blessings. Those who were able to be born in Wangchuan Continent in the past must have accumulated merits for hundreds of lifetimes in their previous lives to have such blessings!"
Kong Qiu and others shuddered.
Jin Min shook his head and walked gently to Kong Qiu's side, away from Old Bear Lord and the Four Vajras.
Du Mo pulled Kong Qiu's sleeve from behind and said, "Students, scold him... We are not good at speaking, and we can't express such profound truths as you do... We think this is wrong, but we don't know how to scold people. You, hurry up!"
Including Kong Qiu, when they saw the scene of the peaceful and blissful land created by the magical power of Po Fa Jin Gang, no one felt a yearning for it. Instead, their hair stood on end and a huge fear spread rapidly from their hearts, making them feel as if they were frozen!
"You are not living in bliss and peace... You are raising pigs!" Kong Qiu laughed wildly: "You regard raising pigs as peace?"
"How dare you!" The four great Vajras roared in unison, their eyes emitting high-temperature Buddha flames. The surrounding void shook, and the temperature in Room 1 rose sharply. The girls lying on the ground, drunk by the alcohol that Du Mo had just released, screamed and howled. Their cultivation was shallow, and the high temperature of the Buddha flames caused large blisters to appear on their skin, and their clothes also burned rapidly.
With a crisp sound of "pa", the teaching stick in Kong Qiu's hand shook, and invisible teaching forces accompanied by the rich fragrance of books and ink enveloped the entire room, isolating the terrible high temperature.
"How dare you!" Kong Qiu shouted at the top of his voice, "Is this what you call mercy? Is this what you call peace?"
Vajra said sternly, "Isn't it? Good weather, plenty of food and clothing, no worries, and peace! This is all the Buddha's mercy, this is all the Buddha's grace... You just need to enjoy it to your heart's content. All worries, all sufferings, all external demonic invasions, all internal demonic disturbances, will be destroyed by the Buddha's supreme power!"
"If this isn't peace, then what is peace?"
Vajra pointed at Kong Qiu fiercely and said in a stern voice: "We know the cause and effect of the destruction of the Nalanda Holy Land... It was because of you ungrateful and ungrateful people... that the Nalanda Holy Land, our Buddhist Pure Land, was overturned in one day! You, you are indeed carrying the supreme original sin, covered in blood and sins, why don't you kneel down and repent, turn over a new leaf, when will it be?"
When the Mighty Vajra roared, waves of terrifying Sanskrit sounds and Buddhist rhythms turned into a hurricane that swept across the sky and earth, roaring in all directions. Wherever it passed, there were bursts of fragrance and endless wonderful sounds... This was the highest method of salvation in Buddhism, which was the despicable method that Lu Yi had used countless times in the lower world.
No matter whether you are willing or not, no matter whether you are sincere or not, wherever the Buddha's light shines, there are all Buddhist believers.
If you are not a follower of Buddhism, then it is certain that the mercy of Buddha has not yet reached the depths of your soul. In that case, I will use even greater magical powers to tamper with your consciousness, cleanse your soul, and turn my piety and loyalty to Buddha into red-hot irons, which will be smashed into the depths of your soul and imprinted in your bone marrow!
If you are still unwilling to kneel down and worship, then don't blame this magical power of salvation. It will be directly transformed into the supreme magical power to exorcise demons and monsters, and will completely crush everything about you, from your body to your soul, into nothing!
You must know that I have put in so much effort and used so much magical power to save you and let you receive the grace of Buddha... I have such good intentions and such painstaking efforts, but you don’t appreciate it?
Then, you must be a heretic and you deserve to die!
Domineering, decisive, ruthless, and no room for negotiation!
This is the Dharma of Vajra, this is the Way of Vajra!
The rhyme of Taoism and the light of Buddha rushed straight at them. Kong Qiu was shocked and angry. He picked up his teaching stick. In the bright light, countless scholars were reciting books aloud. The fragrance of ink and books in the air turned into countless words flashing with pure fluorescence. They brought the 'light of Taoism' that is unique to intelligent creatures, 'studying the heaven and earth' and 'inheriting and learning', and fiercely met the rhyme of Buddha and the light of Buddha gushing out from the Mighty Vajra.
The Way of the Mighty King Kong is extremely domineering - he does not need you to learn, he does not want you to comprehend, he does not need you to "dig into" anything, "enlighten" anything, he does not need you to have any of those illusory things that are "active, conscious, and from the heart"...
He very straightforwardly chose a path that some great Buddhist masters had already drawn up, formulated, and perfected countless years ago, and then he would tell you - 'Come, this is the only correct path between heaven and earth, follow it, and you can enjoy peace; if you refuse, you are a heretic, and you will die!'
No room for maneuver, no choice!
However, intelligent creatures, especially scholars like Kong Qiu who follow the "great way of enlightenment", their ways are inherently opposed to the ways of Vajra, and there is absolutely no possibility of negotiation!
"Buzz!"
The entire Room No. 1 was destroyed in an instant.
Countless Buddha lights turned into powerful Zen lights that burned everything and purified the heaven and earth, breaking out of the drunken red dust and covering the entire Red Plum Sky.
"Buddha have mercy on me!" The chanting of Vajra Mighty and the other three Vajras shook the heaven and earth, and the sky was filled with Buddha's light. Four extremely powerful consciousnesses were like four huge steel seals hanging high in the void, locking onto each smart and weak soul, and then splitting into countless tiny clones, ready to smash them hard, imprinting their own teachings clearly on each soul, and directly "carving" those souls into the appearance they wanted!
Whether you like it or not .
Whether you agree or not!
The four great Vajra Buddha seals fell down, and all those who did not recognize their "Great Way" were evil demons and must be killed!
Billions of creatures in Hongmei Heaven raised their heads dully, their eyes wide open, looking at the brilliant Buddha light all over the sky… In their minds, the sound of Sanskrit chanting rang out, and the consciousness of the Four Vajra turned into a loud thunder, exploding in their minds - 'Respect my Buddha, chant my true name, you can enjoy boundless happiness, and enjoy bliss and peace'!
'Maitreya'!
The four Vajras roared in unison.
There were mortals with weak spirits and no cultivation, all of them spoke up and loudly praised the name of Maitreya. They didn't even know who Maitreya was, what Maitreya could bring to them, and what consequences it would bring to them... They knew nothing, but they all began to praise the greatness and mercy of Maitreya!
Countless people laughed in unison, showing exactly the same smile, as if they were carved from the same mold!
"Maitreya has come to the world and brought us peace... Peace, peace, the whole world is at peace!" Countless men, women, old and young laughed and cheered together. They raised their hands high and knelt down to worship the illusory Buddha between heaven and earth!
In Kong Qiu's school, several young scholars with some cultivation suddenly raised their heads and questioned loudly: "Who is Maitreya? Where does peace come from?"
The next moment, blood gushed out of the seven orifices of these scholars. Their spirits were severely damaged. They fell to their knees on the ground, screaming in pain at the top of their lungs, twitching and rolling around hysterically... Their spirits were in severe pain. The knowledge and learning that Kong Qiu taught them on a daily basis, the thoughts and considerations they had developed about the sky, the earth, man, the universe, society, and all things, all the acquired 'knowledge', were being constantly erased and dissolved by the Sanskrit chanting.
Such severe pain...
Kong Qiu felt everything that happened in Hongmei Heaven. He was so angry that the teaching stick in his hand shook violently, wanting to whip Mighty King Kong hard.
The Buddha's light surged, and Kong Qiu's teaching stick trembled violently. How could he, who had just condensed the Emperor's Seal Dao Fruit, be a match for these four great Buddhist masters with years of experience? Seeing cracks appearing on the teaching stick, what was even more terrifying was that dense golden light appeared on the teaching stick, and the extremely fine golden light quickly outlined the Buddhist scriptures one by one!
The Buddhist rhythm infects Kong Qiu's Emperor Seal Dao Fruit...
If Kong Qiu's Emperor Seal Dao Fruit is completely immersed in the Buddha's light, then his "way of enlightenment" will also be directly transformed into the "way of enlightenment" recognized by the Four Vajra... From now on, Kong Qiu will only teach students to recite Buddhist scriptures. He will no longer teach students any principles of being a human being, and will no longer teach students how to correctly understand this world, this piece of land, how to better understand the people around them, how to distinguish right from wrong, how to summarize knowledge, and how to accumulate learning...
At this moment, a roar was heard: "Who are you, bald ass? You are stirring up trouble on my territory. Are you tired of living?"
Amid the roar, golden Buddha's light surged over like an overwhelming force. Ming Jiudan rushed out from the void holding a heavy vajra. Without saying a word, he hit Vajra on the forehead with the vajra.
There was a loud bang and sparks flew everywhere. The unprepared Vajra staggered backwards repeatedly. He was dizzy from the blow from Ming Jiudan and almost fell to the ground.
Old Xiong Zun sighed and said, "Four masters, this is the one we are looking for. The real owner of the Great Leiyin Temple has arrived!"
A cold light flashed in the eyes of the four Vajra.
On the mainland of Haojing, the three girls Lu Yi, Yin Yuan, Lu Yu, and Qing You, together with five old men, surrounded Master Lang Yue, whose vital points were controlled, in the center, and countless formations and prohibitions lit up around them.
Lu Yi looked at Master Lang Yue solemnly, frowning deeply.
"Your Maitreya Buddha... the one who has completely, totally, and truly attained nirvana, will he be able to crawl out of the cycle of reincarnation?" Lu Yi asked Master Lang Yue in a distressed manner, "Do you think it's possible?"
Master Langyue put his hands together, ignoring the rusty sword in Lu Yu's hand stuck in his body, and bowed to Lu Yu solemnly: "When my Buddha passed away, he once said that after the great calamity, he would return."
"What we call extinction, nirvana, reincarnation, or death in the ordinary sense... to me, the Buddha, is nothing but illusion. Since it is illusion, then it is natural and destined for me to return from endless time and space, descend upon this world again, and create the supreme paradise again!"
"However, when our Buddha returns, there will be invasions from outside demons. There are outside demons colluding with Buddhist scums, trying to destroy our Buddhist sect's unprecedented supreme event... Therefore, I need the supreme means to subdue demons in order to protect our Buddha when he returns."
"So, I ask you, Master Fahai, to return the Nalanda Buddha Fruit, the supreme inheritance of our Nalanda Holy Land, to..."
"Puff", Lu Yu's hand trembled, and the rusty sword penetrated three inches deeper into Master Lang Yue's body, almost jumping out of her chest. Lu Yu sighed and said, "Lang Yue, you are from the Tantric sect, I don't know the ins and outs of your relationship, I don't know the cause and effect entanglement, so I won't comment... But this Lanta Buddha Fruit has always been in my charge... Lanta Buddha Fruit has nothing to do with you at all!"
“So, let’s go, let’s go!” Lu Yu shook his head and said, “Don’t come back. There are not many disciples of my Lantuo Ancient Temple alive now… I don’t want my hands to be stained with the blood of my Buddhist disciples… So, let’s go, let’s go!”
The corners of Master Langyue's eyes twitched, and his handsome face was completely distorted.
You old baldy, what the hell are you talking about?
Don’t want your hands to be stained with the blood of Buddhist disciples?
Hehe, what's wrong with the sword in your hand? The blood that keeps dripping down the sword is not the blood of Buddhist disciples, but the pig blood you bought at the market for three copper coins.
Master Lang Yue sighed deeply, clasped his hands together, and said solemnly: "In addition to the coming of my Buddha, there is another prophecy. Do you want to hear it?"
Lu Yu and Lu Yi looked at each other, and Lu Yu smiled and said, "Go on? But, we may not believe it. After all, monks don't tell lies, haha..."
Lu Fu himself was a monk.
Therefore, he deeply understood what monks were.
Master Lang Yue ignored Lu Yi's weird tone and said in a deep voice: "The Buddha came here because there is a great demon between heaven and earth... If he wakes up, the world will return to chaos, and our Buddhist sect will face a catastrophe in this world!"
"Only I, the Buddha, can save all living beings." Master Langyue's voice was extremely serious and solemn... Everyone could hear that she was not lying.
What she said was exactly what she knew and what she believed to be the truth!
