Volume 3: The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors Chapter 552: A thought of Buddha and devil, a great plan of heaven and earth
"Eternal and One, the Supreme and Infinite, Clear as the Void, All-knowing, Illuminating the Unborn, the Truth of Beginning and Ending..."
At the Western Lingshan Mountain, the divine light of wisdom shines for thousands of miles. Under the Bodhi tree, the Taoist Cundi picks up a flower and smiles, with a solemn appearance, as he preaches the Vajra Prajna and talks about the root of supreme wisdom.
Next to Cundi, Jie Yin is lying with his right hand as a pillow and his feet crossed, looking like a lion.
Three thousand green lotuses fell, and the Taoist dreamed of three thousand worlds.
Beside the Bodhi Dharma Platform is a lotus pond with golden lotus flowers in it. The pond is so clear that you can see the bottom. The water surface is slightly rippling, and waves are rising and falling.
The golden lotus blossoms into twelve varieties, and the sparkling water in the pond represents merit.
In front of the lotus pond, three Taoists sat quietly listening to the Dharma.
A man who was not bound by etiquette, with his clothes loose, his chest and abdomen exposed, and a relatively large figure, with a smile on his face that never stopped.
This is the disciple of Cundi, Maitreya.
A figure with a solemn appearance sits solemnly, holding a glass gourd in his hand and listening with his ears tilted. There is a fragrance of medicine on his body, and a wheel of merit behind his head is extremely dazzling.
This is the Medicine Master.
The other one wore a bright crown and feathered robe, and had a calm demeanor and a compassionate expression. His body was as pure as glass, without any dust or stain, and he seemed to have attained great freedom.
This is Ksitigarbha who returned from the underworld.
Behind them are the Bodhisattvas of the heavens, the Venerable Ones of the Western Teachings, and the Arhats of the Pure Land of Vaiśravaṇa.
Although this group of followers cannot match the grandeur of the Jiejiao sect with thousands of immortals coming to pay homage, they also show the potential for prosperity.
It is conceivable that with the prosperity of Xiniu Hezhou, Western religion will inevitably usher in a new round of major development.
Only then can the West truly get rid of the reputation of being “poor” and gradually catch up with the development pace of the East in the future.
Although it will probably still take a long time to reach that day.
But as long as these two are still here, this day is a fixed future.
"The Buddha resides in the world, saving all living beings and creating a supreme pure land on this scorched earth. Thanks to this achievement, even if the reputation of these two in the East is a little lower, they are still worthy of the title of True Saints."
On the lotus formed by auspicious clouds of merit, the Human Emperor Xuanyuan sits.
He looked at the sacred land of Lingshan and felt quite emotional.
It was only after the Three Ancestors opened up the way and the Three Sovereigns ruled the world that the human race turned its attention to the West.
It’s not that I don’t want to come early, but it’s useless to come early.
It's too early. The human race has not yet accumulated the power to lead the development of Xizhou for an era.
The human race, which possesses the Three Emperors of Heaven, Earth and Man, and has gathered most of the destiny of humanity, is qualified to shout out the slogan of "unifying the Western Continent and creating the world."
This is also why the common ruler of the world in this generation, the first of the Five Emperors - Baidi, was born in Xizhou.
"The rise and fall of the West is the work of the two saints, but it also has a complex connection with the Demon Ancestor, Rāhu. The Holy Land of Lingshan, this machine was once the headquarters of the Demonic Path. The Paradise was born on the Demonic Land. What do you think will be the result?"
Mingyu sat high on the cloud bed, holding the world-destroying millstone in his hand, and looked at the Lingshan Mountain illuminated by the Buddha's light with great interest.
"The Great Dao Demon Oath! This is the greatest backup plan that Demon Ancestor Luohou left for himself. Although the existence caused the Demon Ancestor's plan to fail, this great sect standing on the Demonic Land still needs to overcome a catastrophe if it wants to cross the final hurdle."
Xuanyuan's expression shifted, a glint flashing in his eyes. "You mean, this calamity will fall on the Western Master anyway?"
"It's just a matter of time." Mingyu nodded slightly, then saw Xuanyuan staring at her intently, and the corner of her mouth twitched: "What's with that expression?"
Xuanyuan retracted his gaze and said with a wry smile, "I thought you were the one trying to trick the Two Saints into falling into the trap."
Mingyu rolled her eyes and whispered unhappily, "They jumped willingly. How can this be called 'cheating'?"
When the two saints took on the task of reviving the West, they probably had already anticipated the future situation.
Even if they didn't think much about it at the time, how could they, who had become saints, be completely unaware of the Demon Ancestor's plan?
This great oath of Taoism and demons that declared the beginning of the ancient times was actually a grand and open conspiracy.
But so what?
After knowing this conspiracy, will the two saints abandon all sentient beings in the West and give up their own path?
They still chose to shoulder everything.
Past causes, present results.
That’s all.
"Besides, do you really think they're not prepared at all?"
Mingyu smiled lightly, his eyebrows raised in an arc, and the world-destroying mill in his hand suddenly turned over.
Suddenly, the holy land shook, and the Bodhi tree beside the high platform lost its flowers and leaves, and there was no Prajna, and the divine light of wisdom changed again and again.
The faces of the three direct disciples, Ksitigarbha, Medicine Master and Maitreya, changed and they looked angry. They suddenly opened their eyes, like a sleeping lion being awakened. Their aura changed again and again, and the color of the golden lotuses around them became darker and darker.
All the Western believers who were listening to the sermon under the Bodhi Dharma Platform were horrified. Beads of sweat the size of beans kept dripping from their foreheads, and their magical powers trembled slightly.
It is difficult to find peace if your mind is not calm.
Xuanyuan could clearly see that the originally pure and spotless spiritual world of the Bodhisattvas in the heavens and the Arhats in the Dharma Realm was actually stained with a little dust at this moment!
Then, the ink color surged, and in the dim light, a number of angry-eyed Dharma images appeared.
In just a moment, the huge sacred land of Lingshan became noisy.
On the lotus platform shining with golden light, there is no such thing as the Glazed Bodhisattva or the Great Enlightened Buddha. They are clearly a group of demons!
Xuanyuan felt as if his three perspectives were shattered.
His eyes widened and the corners of his mouth twitched again and again.
"Does everyone seem to be so extravagant?"
It was already amazing that he was willing to work for the "model worker" Donghua Emperor, but I didn't expect that what was even more shocking was in Lingshan.
But on second thought, it seems very reasonable.
Although Xuanyuan had never been to the Demon Realm, he knew that there was a great demon sitting in the western region of the Demon Realm - Brahma.
The saint's form and spirit is that of a great demon. Is there any problem with the disciples in the religion being the demon's descendants?
Western religions are built on the devil's land, so the holy land is actually a devil's cave. Is there a problem with this?
No problem at all!
Even so, Xuanyuan couldn't help but complain: "You've already prepared to this extent, and you still say you don't want to rebel?"
No wonder Mingyu kept his eyes on the Western Church and wanted to drag the Second Saint into it.
This is simply a ready-made traitor!
The two leaders did not react much to Mingyu's exposure of her secrets.
On the Bodhi Dharma Platform, the Guide Saint, with his hair tied up in a bun, sat with his feet tired, as if he was half asleep, with a precious blue lotus swaying, as if the universe was just a dream.
"There is no self, no person, no living being, no life. Why? The self is both being and non-being. The person, the living being, the life are both being and non-being. Why? Because they are free from all forms..."
The voice of the Taoist Zhunti sounded again, and the Bodhi tree flowers continued to bloom.
In the lotus pond, the twelve golden lotuses shone brightly, and the water from the pool of merit rose up like a stream, and then fell like rain, sweeping across the heavens and washing away the demonic energy from all directions.
Beside the Merit Pool, there are many Dharma images, which are six feet tall and made of glazed golden bodies. Their merits are great, and they are pure and untainted by dust.
All the demon sons and grandsons returned to their original forms and became the living Buddhas, Bodhisattvas in heaven, and Arhats in all realms.
They folded their hands together and sat in the air. Each of them had a solemn appearance and a compassionate face, and they chanted in unison.
“The body is a bodhi tree, the mind is like a bright mirror;
Always wipe it clean and don't let it get dusty! "
As this verse sounded, a round and transparent relic burst into infinite light.
It is the divine light of infinite wisdom, the divine light of infinite enlightenment, the divine light of infinite compassion, and the divine light of great light!
The ten directions of the world, the Pure Land of Purgatory, are once again bright and flawless.
From this smooth set of movements, it can be seen that Western believers have practiced this disguise countless times.
This is also a compulsory course that Western leaders teach their disciples.
As long as the real person is not caught, there is something to say about the vest.
What's wrong with practicing the magic method? As long as others can't see it, there's no way to expose it.
What remnants of the evil sect?
That is my Western Dafa, the golden body of relics!
Why is it so ferocious?
Find out about the angry King Kong!
This is the teaching of my Western religion. If you don’t understand it, don’t talk nonsense!
It is very difficult for us in the West to practice cultivation!
If you have this time, you might as well think about why you are different from us, whether you have obtained the true meaning of the Tao, and what your current cultivation level is!
As for what it means: wipe it frequently and don’t let it get dusty?
That is to say, what’s the big deal about being a little darker ?
It doesn’t matter if it gets covered in mud or dust, just wash and wipe it more often.
Hey~~, we are still white!
Hey~~, we are still the light of righteousness!
Who can see that!
Of course, if someone sees you, it doesn’t matter, you can just “wipe” the other side.
If it really doesn’t work, just say “it’s fate”!
A thought of Buddha or devil, good or evil, in the end it all comes down to fists!
So, is the already developed Western religion afraid of being exposed?
Not afraid at all!
So when Mingyu was dismantling the Western religion, the two leaders did not react much.
But the Saint Zhunti said with a smile: "It is far inferior to the sages of the demon world."
Mingyu also smiled. He consoled her, "The opportunity for the Western Sect to regain its former glory is right now. Uncle Master, you must seize it."
Zhunti smiled slightly and kept silent.
Before the arrival of the Two Saints of the East, he would not respond to Mingyu's words.
Otherwise, if you are not careful, you will fall into the ditch.
Mingyu had no choice about this.
He said everything he needed to say.
The rest depends on the leader.
So, he sat quietly on the cloud bed, his mind immersed in the great grind of world destruction, and realized the great way of destruction.
Upon seeing this, Xuanyuan also closed his eyes and began to daydream. Taking advantage of this gap, he set foot in various time and space to collect negative information.
In front of these innate gods from the ancient times, the information he, the Human Emperor of the Humane Era, possessed was too little.
If you are not careful, you might be sold out.
The two leaders continued to preach, and the disciples listened in fascination.
At this time, a mysterious sound resounded from the sky.
Someone sang loudly: "The principles of creating the world and the sky are clear, discussing scriptures and studying the law in Baiyujing. The five qi converge to the origin to pass on the secret, and the three flowers gather at the top of the head to demonstrate the inexistence of life.
The golden light on the top of the head is divided into five colors, and the green lotus under the feet is chasing the ten thousand miles. The eight-trigram fairy clothes fly purple air, and the three-edged sword is called Qingping.
The Master Tongtian stepped on the void and came with a sword on his back.
Jie Yin and Zhunti were overjoyed and stood up to greet him.
Mingyu and Xuanyuan stand side by side.
Western believers followed.
"Greetings, fellow Taoist!"
"Meet the Saint!"
Everyone greeted each other.
A moment later, the air was filled with clear air and another loud singing was heard.
"When Hong Meng was first judged, he was famous. He refined the innate five elements. The three flowers on his head face the north palace, and the five energies in his chest penetrate the South Sea.
The immortals call him Yuanshi, and the mysterious gate is still unknown. Fragrant flowers follow the chariot, and the vicissitudes of life are endless.
Amidst the dazzling fairy light, the Nine-Dragon Agarwood Chariot slowly approached. For a moment, the ceiling shook and fell into the void, and the merits and virtues permeated the three realms.
In endless time and space, pairs of banners lead the way, and within the heavens, music resounds;
Compared with Tongtian Jiaozhu, Yuanshi Tianzun’s pomp is much grander.
The two saints did not neglect and led their disciples to pay their respects.
"Greetings, fellow Taoist!"
The Heavenly Venerable got off the chariot, remained dignified, and returned the greeting slowly and calmly.
But he glanced at Mingyu vaguely out of the corner of his eye.
Mingyu bowed calmly, "Greetings, Second Uncle-Master!"
"Um!"
Tianzun responded in a neutral tone, with no emotion in his voice.
Mingyu didn't care, but slowly approached Tongtian Sect Master and said leisurely: "Third Uncle, are you selling me out?"
"That's not true! Am I such a disloyal immortal?"
Tongtian Patriarch blinked, his tone calm.
Mingyu: “Hehe~~”
After exchanging pleasantries, everyone returned to the sacred land of Lingshan.
The four saints sat around with Mingyu and Xuanyuan.
As for the Western religious disciples who were listening to the sermon, they had already left.
"The Demon Ancestor Luo Hou has returned, and he wants to eliminate the Tao and increase the demons. What do you think about this?"
Mingyu went straight to the point and turned her gaze towards Tianzun.
Jie Yin, Zhunti, Tongtian and Xuanyuan looked at Yuanshi Tianzun almost at the same time.
"You guys, are you too lazy to even act?"
Yuanshi Tianzun looked at the people in front of him who were colluding with each other and was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
Jie Yin does not speak, and Zhunti does not speak.
Tongtian lowered his head and counted the lotus flowers of merit.
Emperor Xuanyuan pretended to travel in space again.
Mingyu chuckled.
In cahoots?
Nope!
Absolutely not!
Now Cheng Ming takes the role.
Tianzun felt both angry and amused: "Tell me, what are your plans?"
"It still depends on the attitude of Second Uncle." Mingyu obviously knew what Tianzun cared about the most.
"The Demon Ancestor has returned. We can lend a helping hand, but we must not destroy our Xuanmen Daoist tradition!"
Yuanshi Tianzun did not put on airs and just spoke directly.
When Taishang is not around, Tianzun takes over the Xuanmen.
This is why Mingyu and others insisted on inviting Tianzun to the scene.
If this person keeps this secret, there will probably be chaos in the future.
The Taoist Jie Yin, who seemed half asleep, raised his eyelids, his deep eyes filled with wisdom. "The Xuan Sect is at its peak. If we don't split it up, it will be difficult to fulfill the conditions of the oath."
There are methods to rebellion.
Rebellion that is organized, planned, and justly explained is not called rebellion, it is called following the will of heaven.
We in the Western religion had to endure humiliation and leave with great pain for the sake of Xuanmen.
Yuanshi Tianzun remained silent.
The entire Lingshan Mountain fell into silence.
Zhunti Saint argued again: "This is the karma destined by the West. Rather than letting it transcend control, it is better to let the disaster be in our hands. This is also for the benefit of all living beings in the prehistoric world."
Tianzun remained silent, like the indifferent will of heaven.
No one can suppress him!
Everyone was helpless and looked at Mingyu.
Mingyu pondered for a moment and only uttered four words.
"Buddha is the Tao!"
Boom~~
The divine power was so immense that it darkened the sky above Lingshan Mountain.
"Is Buddha originally the Tao?"
Yuanshi Tianzun has a serious and majestic expression.
A pair of eyes revealed an indifferent light, first passing across Mingyu's face, and then falling on the Second Saint.
Jie Yin and Zhunti smiled at each other, then replied, "Buddha is the Tao!"
"good!"
Tianzun then nodded and a smile appeared on his face.
