Chapter 638: Immortals Discussing the Dao, the Six Supernatural Powers of Buddhism
The lake is shimmering and filled with a light mist, and it looks like a fairyland under the golden sunlight. Golden lotus flowers bloom all around, and Buddhist chants and fairy music can be heard from time to time in the sky.
There are schools of carp in the lake, and on the lakeshore, the grass and trees are as green as jade.
The little beggar sat on one side, yawning from time to time, but he stayed awake, listening to the discussion, which he did not understand but felt was profound and mysterious.
He had been listening for a day and a night, and although he was drowsy, his natural intelligence made him vaguely aware that this was a great opportunity that should not be missed.
Even if you don’t understand, try to remember more.
Under a big banyan tree, there were two figures sitting upright.
Although this man looked like a beggar, golden light was flowing on his body. Behind him, the image of an eight-armed arhat could be vaguely seen. The precious light was like a rainbow, and Sanskrit sounds were emanating from his mouth.
The other person was wearing a snow-white Taoist robe made of water. He had a chic and elegant temperament, was handsome and otherworldly, and did not look like an ordinary person at all. There was an ethereal and otherworldly aura in his every move.
The two men sat and discussed. The old beggar told him everything about the six supernatural powers of Buddhism and the method of making the golden body. Li Daoxuan also talked about his many insights during his practice. They verified each other's ideas and learned from them.
One of them was a former Buddhist arhat, and the other was a Taoist priest who had broken free from the shackles and transcended the calamity to become an immortal. Their discussion on Taoism actually led to the sound of Sanskrit and the fall of golden lotus from the sky.
This lake had originally been reduced to scorched earth by the thunderstorm, but now, as the two men discussed, clear springs gushed out from the ground, grass and trees sprouted, and flowers and fruits appeared overnight.
Immortals and Buddhas discuss the Tao, which benefits all things.
Perhaps in a few decades, this place will develop into a paradise.
An unknown amount of time had passed before the Buddhist chanting and celestial music calmed down, and the vision of the golden lotus emerging from the ground also disappeared. The old beggar's pupils trembled violently, and he no longer had the concentration of a Buddhist arhat.
Just now Li Daoxuan told him the secret of Lingshan.
Lingshan has turned into a monster!
All the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Arhats were trapped in the monster's stomach and became food...
Maitreya Buddha fled back to the human world, but was seriously injured and passed away, and finally became Sanle.
No wonder the last words that Arhat the Dragon Subduer told him were... Don’t return to Lingshan.
Looking at the distraught old beggar, Li Daoxuan understood very well. He also found it .
" By the way, I have some secrets. Do you want to know? You can ask the Buddha..."
The old beggar was shocked all over, and without caring about his sadness, he immediately turned into a ray of golden light and flew away with the young beggar in a panic.
"It's gone, it's really gone, I don't want to know, and I don't have anything to exchange with you, goodbye!!!"
If he stays any longer, all his savings will probably be squeezed out.
You must keep a few skills and pass them on to your apprentices later.
Li Daoxuan smiled slightly.
He gained a lot from this discussion. The famous six supernatural powers of Buddhism and the golden body method brought him great inspiration.
The so-called six supernatural powers are the divine eye, divine ear, divine mind, divine destiny, divine power and the knowledge of the end of all defilements. They are the supreme secret of Buddhism and only those who have cultivated to the level of Arhat can receive all the true teachings.
Li Daoxuan has already established a solid foundation, so naturally he would not switch to Buddhism. But at his level, he is able to embrace all rivers and seas, comprehend the strengths of Buddhism and Taoism, and examine himself from another perspective, which brings him greater gains than practicing a great Tiangang supernatural power.
After a night of discussing the Dao, his understanding of mediating the creation and the Eight-Nine Mysterious Arts became more profound.
Just when he was satisfied, a voice suddenly came from the air.
"Li Daoxuan, you seem to have forgotten that one day in heaven equals one year on earth. It is already the 23rd year of Zhenguan! "
"Hehe, the Tang Dynasty is no longer the same as it used to be. I'm afraid you, the national teacher, have long been forgotten~"
"How pitiful! Working hard all your life, only to become someone else's puppet..."
The old beggar seemed dissatisfied with his previous humiliation, and flew back again, made a face at Li Daoxuan, then patted his butt and flew away.
Li Daoxuan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled.
He walked to the lake, and the lake reflected a handsome figure in white. His appearance had not changed at all, and he still looked to be in his twenties, but his eyes had become deeper and had a hint of vicissitudes of life.
"I stayed in heaven for twelve days, and twelve years passed on earth..."
"Twelve years, Sister Yu, Qingni, Junior Sister, Master, Changle...how are you all doing?"
He stood there quietly, as if he had merged into one with the nature.
A gust of wind blew, and leaves fell like rain, but they passed through his body as if there was nothing there.
…
Half an hour later.
Two figures flew over, both wearing the costumes of the Tang Dynasty's bad guys, one male and one female. The man was tall and strong, with sharp eyebrows and eyes, and a glance like lightning. He had a very fierce temperament.
The woman is petite, with delicate features, and looks quite like a beautiful girl next door.
In her hand she held a compass.
"Boss, this is it. There was a very strong spiritual power fluctuation just now. Is there a rare treasure coming out?"
The middle-aged man with a fierce temperament sniffed around and finally his eyes stopped on the two cushions under the big banyan tree.
Strictly speaking, it is not a futon in the conventional sense, but is made of woven grass and wood. It looks crisp and green, and is filled with abundant spiritual energy.
The man's eyes gradually became more serious.
"It's not a rare treasure, but someone is discussing the Dao here."
"On the Dao?"
The young woman was very surprised: "Can the discussion of the Dao have such amazing spiritual power fluctuations? From the noise just now, I thought a spiritual treasure had appeared..."
"Of course, it's not possible for ordinary cultivators to discuss the Dao, but some otherworldly masters who have touched upon the Dao of Immortality may be able to do it."
There was a gleam in the middle-aged man's eyes.
"These two people must be rare masters in the world. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is eager to seek talents. If he can win them over, His Royal Highness will be very happy!"
There was something he didn't say. He had been a captain of the Outlaws for six years. If he wanted to be promoted to the rank of Zhelong, he had to make achievements and gain the attention of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"It's a pity that such an expert is not easy to find."
The middle-aged man restrained his ambition and asked, "Are there any traces of demons nearby?"
The woman picked up the compass and looked at it, then said, "No, it's gone."
The man snorted coldly, snatched the compass, saw green light flashing on it, his eyes were like knives, and his voice was cold.
"Isn't there one?"
The young woman showed a trace of pity in her eyes, and she argued in a low voice: "But, but this demon has never harmed anyone, and there is no blood on its body. The princess said that demons that are kind to others only need to be secretly monitored and do not need to be killed-"
"Confused!"
The middle-aged man scolded, "Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the regent, His Royal Highness has issued an extermination order, vowing to kill all the demons in the world. Blame him for anything good or bad. As long as he is a demon, he deserves to die!"
"Also, remember this: I, the Bad Man, only obey the orders of the Crown Prince. This is the order of His Majesty. Do you understand?"
The young woman whispered, "But...but this is the rule set by the Imperial Master..."
The middle-aged man sneered and said, "National Master? He has not been one for a long time. Shengfo will soon become the new National Master. In a short time, Zhelong may also change."
"Su Huiyu, I know you admire Li Daoxuan very much, but you have to remember that he was the one who abandoned the Tang Dynasty first. Now there are many Yang Gods in the world, and there is also the invincible Saint Buddha. Even if he comes back, he can't change anything!"
The young woman lowered her eyes, pursed her lips and said nothing.
"If you still want to be a bad person, come with me to get rid of the monster."
After saying this, the middle-aged man turned and flew away.
The young woman hesitated for a moment, but finally sighed and chased after him.
