Others came up to ask Wang Chongyang what great apprentices he would have in the future, and Wang Chongyang didn't remember it very clearly, so he said directly to everyone, "You will all be proud disciples in the future, don't worry!" ”

Yuan Shi Tianzun came up to the disciples at this time and said, "Everyone, now that you also know the ins and outs of the gods, if you don't go down the mountain now, when will you stay?" ”

As soon as the twelve disciples heard Yuan Shi Tianzun say this, they immediately bowed down to Wang Chongyang and Yuan Shi Tianzun, and each turned into a golden light, which disappeared from front of them in an instant.

At this time, the remaining disciples stepped forward one after another and asked Yuan Shi Tianzun, "Master, what about us?" ”

Yuan Shi Tianzun said, "To deal with a sect interception, there is no need for me to expound the teachings and pour out of the nest, you can just practice separately!" ”

Wang Chongyang beckoned to the Burning Lamp Daoist at this time, and then walked over to the Burning Lamp Daoist and said, "Are you interested in traveling with me?" ”

The people who lit the lamp were suddenly ecstatic, they wanted to know what kind of generation Wang Chongyang was, but they were brothers with his ancestor Hongjun, and even his own master had to call him respectfully when he saw him.

Now Wang Chongyang doesn't call anyone, but he is just teaching so many disciples, asking himself to accompany him on a tour, how can he not be happy?

But after all, Yuan Shi Tianzun is here, no matter what, he is also his own teacher, thinking about it, he still looks at Yuan Shi Tianzun.

Seeing this, Yuan Shi Tianzun immediately said to the lantern, "Since your uncle asked him to accompany him on a tour, you can just go!" ”

As soon as the Burning Lamp Daoist heard this, as if he had received great grace, he immediately bowed his hand to Yuan Shi Tianzun and said goodbye, and then immediately rose with Wang Chongyang and disappeared on the top of Kunlun Mountain in an instant.

Yuan Shi Tianzun looked up and couldn't help but sigh, this little uncle seemed to know the future of the gods, but he didn't know whether his disciple was a blessing or a curse.

At this time, Wang Chongyang has been bringing the lantern Taoist to his wooden house where he rested, and how far away the lantern Taoist saw the Bodhi tree in the sea of flowers, and his heart couldn't help but move.

After the two of them fell, Wang Chongyang pointed to the Bodhi tree and said, "What do you think when you see this tree?" ”

The lantern man looked at the Bodhi tree in a daze, just at this time when the sun was setting, the sun was shining from behind the tree, and the Bodhi tree was like a big Buddha.

However, after watching it for a long time, the people who lit the lamp Dao didn't seem to understand the meaning, and hurriedly asked Wang Chongyang in surprise, "Uncle Shi brought his disciples here to see this big tree?" ”

Wang Chongyang nodded and said, "This tree is the Bodhi you gave me to grow, what do you see from it?" ”

"It's like a fat man sitting there!" ”

Wang Chongyang said to the lamp, "You saw it right, it's not a person, it's a Buddha!" ”

The lantern Taoist looked at Wang Chongyang with a surprised face, the word "Buddha" this time, he heard it for the first time, and he couldn't help but chant it a few times, and finally couldn't understand the true meaning of the Buddha, and asked Wang Chongyang, "Uncle Shi, what is Buddha?" ”

Wang Chongyang asked the lantern Daodao, "You have cultivated all your life, why?" ”

The people who lit the lamp immediately said, "For the well-being of the people of Li, and for their own cultivation!" ”

Wang Chongyang said, "The Buddha is like this, and it is not like this!" ”

The person who lit the lamp was even more puzzled, "What is also the case and not so?" ”

Wang Chongyang explained, "The Buddha also seeks the well-being of the Li people, and also promotes self-cultivation, but it is not all for the well-being of the Li people, nor is it all for himself!" ”

The people who lit the lamp were stunned, and they didn't understand Wang Chongyang's meaning at all, and immediately bowed to Wang Chongyang with a straight face, "The disciple is stupid, please ask the uncle to make it clear!" ”

Wang Chongyang said, "In the eyes of the Buddha, seeking the well-being of the people and improving one's own cultivation is one thing! ”

If the person who lit the lamp was enlightened, but he didn't seem to understand, he stood on the spot in a daze, looking at the Bodhi tree in front of him, where is it still a tree, at this time in his eyes, it is a Buddha.

The Burning Lamp Daoist said to Wang Chongyang, "Uncle Shi, the disciple seems to understand, and he doesn't seem to understand!" ”

Wang Chongyang said to the lamp, "The true meaning of the Buddha is that color is emptiness, emptiness is color, understanding is not understanding, not understanding is understanding!" ”

When the lantern Taoist heard Wang Chongyang say this, he was immediately puzzled, he felt that Wang Chongyang, as his uncle, would not bring himself here uselessly, and said such a thing that he seemed to understand or not, there must be some deep meaning.

And Wang Chongyang seems to have said something for his enlightenment, but in fact, he doesn't seem to have said anything.

And the more this is the case, the more the people of the Lantern Dao feel that there must be some mystery hidden in what Wang Chongyang said.

Burning the lamp Taoist people listen to the sermon under the throne of Yuan Shi Tianzun all the year round, and think that although he is not necessarily the most perceptive among a kind of disciples, he must be among the best, and now Wang Chongyang actually can't understand what he said at all, and he can't help but wonder if he actually thinks very highly of himself before, in fact, his understanding is not high?

Wang Chongyang saw the sad face of the Burning Lamp Daoist, as if he hadn't figured out his words until now, and then said to the Burning Lamp Dao, "If you don't understand, just sit down to that tree and have a good understanding of it, and one day you will come to enlightenment." ”

As soon as the Burning Lamp Daoist heard this, he immediately bent down towards Wang Chongyang and said, "Disciple obeys!" After saying that, he walked quickly to the foot of the linden tree, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and began to meditate.

Wang Chongyang looked at the Burning Lamp Daoist like this, and sighed in his heart, he didn't even know much about the so-called Buddhism, and said such a thing to implement it, just to cover the Burning Lamp Daoist, so that he could calm down and have a good understanding.

The people who lit the lamp sat under the Bodhi tree, even for three days, they didn't move, and they didn't open their eyes once.

Wang Chongyang waited for three days for the Lantern Daoist, and when he saw the Lantern Daoist like this, he couldn't help but wonder, is this method of forcibly forcing the Lantern Daoist to realize the Buddha himself?

I don't want to think about whether Wang Chongyang was thinking about whether to change to another way, the person who burned the lamp suddenly opened his eyes and said, "The disciple understands, the disciple finally understands!" ”

As soon as Wang Chongyang heard this, he immediately walked to the side of the Burning Lamp Daoist and asked, "What do you understand?" ”

"The Buddha is in the heart, there is a Buddha in the heart, whether there is Buddha nature in everything you do, everyone can become a Buddha!" ”

Wang Chongyang didn't quite understand the meaning of the Lantern Daoist, but listening to his words of inseparable from the Buddha, he was also quite comforted in his heart, at least he finally tied the Lantern Taoist and the Buddha together.

Thinking about it, he asked the lantern Daodao, "So do you have a Buddha in your heart?" ”

"The disciple does not have a Buddha in his heart, but the disciple himself is a Buddha!" ”

Wang Chongyang couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard Zehua, after three days of meditation, he thought of himself as a Buddha, did he drive this Taoist priest crazy?

The more the lantern was spoken, the more excited he became, "As the master said, color is emptiness, emptiness is color, then the disciple is a Buddha, not a Buddha, there is a Buddha in the heart, and there is no Buddha!" Yes and no? ”

Wang Chongyang looked at the lantern Daoist in a daze, didn't say anything for a long time, and finally held back two words, "Yes...... Right? ”

At this time, the Daoist who lit the lamp said to Wang Chongyang, "The disciple still has something unknown, in the past, what the master taught, was the Great Dao, the Heavenly Dao, but the Buddha is the opposite of the Tao, what is particular is to start from the small things, and the Buddha can be seen everywhere!" So is the Buddha separated from the Xuanmen Dao and exists independently, or is the Buddha connected with the Tao? ”

Wang Chongyang said to the lamp, "You don't seem to have fully understood, since you are bright and white is empty, and emptiness is the truth of color, why can't you understand it, Buddha is the Tao, and the Tao is also the Buddha?" ”

The lantern Daoist's face suddenly moved, and he muttered in his mouth, "Buddha is the Tao?" The Tao is also a Buddha? …… Buddha is the Tao! It's also a Buddha!"

The more the person who lit the lamp said, the faster he thought, at first it was still a questioning thought, and then it gradually turned into an affirmative thought.

In the end, the lantern Daoist laughed, "The disciple understands, the disciple finally understands!" ”

Wang Chongyang didn't understand what the people of the Burning Lamp Dao understood, and what he said was full of most of the elements of foolishness, and he almost fainted, but he actually understood.

The lantern Taoist stood up at this time, and suddenly knelt down in front of Wang Chongyang, and gave Wang Chongyang a big bow of three bows and nine bows, "The disciple's qualifications are dull, and today I understand that there is a Buddha outside the Tao, and the true meaning of the Tao in the Buddha, the disciple also asked my uncle to accept me as a disciple, and the disciple will believe in Buddhism in the future and devote himself to the Buddha!" ”

As soon as Wang Chongyang heard this, his heart suddenly became happy, and before he could open his mouth to dig the foot of the wall, the corner of the wall naturally fell to his side.

However, Wang Chongyang said to the lamp, "Since this is the case, I will accept you as my disciple, and from now on you will devote yourself to the Buddha!" I now give you the Dharma name Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha! ”

The Daoist who lit the lamp immediately kowtowed to Wang Chongyang again, "Disciple obeys the decree of the law!" After saying that, he did it under the linden tree again, but this time he closed his eyes with a smile on his face, and he didn't know what he understood.

Wang Chongyang looked at the people who lit the lamp like this, and his heart was also relieved, it seems that the task given to him by Huang Laojun has finally made a good start.

At this time, Wang Chongyang looked at the Taoist who burned the lamp, although he still had curly hair on his head, but he could no longer see the feeling of Taoism in him, he was completely up and down, and he was full of Buddha nature inside and out.

Looking at the Bodhi tree from a distance, the appearance of the big Buddha is actually the same as the ancient Buddha under the Bodhi tree, it seems that this is also the will of heaven.

Wang Chongyang accepted the first disciple for Shimen at this time, and now he began to prepare for the second step, and after the ancient Buddha of the lamp understood the Buddha's nature, he would start to fool him to help him fool his senior brother.

When the Ancient Buddha was still a disciple of the Yuan Shi Tianzun, sometimes the Yuan Shi Tianzun did not have time to preach to the disciples, that is, the Burning Lamp Daoist preached to the Twelve Golden Immortals, and for the Twelve Golden Immortals, the Burning Lamp Daoist was not only their senior brother, but also their teacher.

In this way, as long as the people of the Burning Lamp Dao take refuge in his liberation sect, the people of the Twelve Golden Immortals should not be a problem, right?
