022 Garo
Three hundred years later, Lin Heng left, and he didn't bring his own disciples, because he couldn't estimate the road ahead. Rather than giving them a future where they don't know where to go, it is better to let them do it themselves, and whether it is good or bad depends on their own efforts. Of course, just in case, Lin Heng also refined some treasures for them to help them fight the enemy and protect themselves, but Lin Heng himself was not sure how many effects they had.
In short, he left his fire here, but whether he can persist or not depends on the will of God.
His own second stop was Xiniu Hezhou. When he arrived here, Lin Heng naturally didn't dare to preach indiscriminately, after all, this is the territory of Buddhism, and these immortals are very restricted here, the most critical point is that most of the people here believe in Buddhism, one is not good, and he is secretly manipulated, and Lin Heng's fate is absolutely miserable. So before he came, he decided that in Xiniu Hezhou, in addition to work and cultivation, he just wanted to see the customs and customs here, and as for things like preaching, don't think about it.
Jialuo City, the place supervised by Lin Heng, it is said that there is a Garo Arhat living here, who is very profound in his Buddhist cultivation, and will preach the Dharma and Buddha in the Buddha Hall Square in Jialuo City every 300 years. When Lin Heng came, it was the time for him to give a new lecture. Lin Heng naturally wouldn't miss the teachings of the masters, and he also found that in addition to the disciples of the Buddhist family, there were not no Taoists and monks from other families, although they were not profound, but the spiritual reactions they showed were obviously not Buddhists. These people don't care who is teaching the Fa, as long as they speak, they will listen to it.
Lin Heng estimated that most of these people should be casual cultivators. Scattered cultivators all embarked on the path of cultivating immortals by accident, and they have their own inheritances, which may not be profound, but they also support them to move forward. It's just that there are some difficult things that no one explains for them, and they can only understand them on their own. Now, when I hear someone talk about the Fa. Naturally, these people flock to it.
This is also where Buddhism is stronger than Taoism.
Lin Heng has been to Dongsheng Shenzhou many times before and after, and it is not that he has not encountered Taoist teachings, but if he wants to go in and listen to the lectures, he must have a relationship and a name, and a newcomer or casual cultivator like Lin Heng can't enter at all, he can only watch from a distance, and occasionally hear a word. I still don't know what it means. What about Buddhism? People are much more generous, every time there is an Arhat teaching, it is a wide open door, as long as you arrive, you can listen, and other people don't care.
As the saying goes, the Dharma should not be passed on lightly, and this word does not seem to work very well in the Buddhist family, just like the interception of the teachings back then, and those who come do not refuse. However, the two sages of the West are obviously smarter than Tongtian, and they have also learned the lesson of Tongtian, they will not take everyone under their door, that is, some people are willing to apprentice. These people will not accept it, because no one can say whether there is a problem with the origin of these people, whether there is a big cause and effect in their bodies, and whether there is a great cause and effect, the two saints of the West. You can't keep an eye on it.
Lin Heng inquired that the previous Buddhism was indeed not rejected by those who came, because they were not prosperous enough. But after Buddhism flourished, the disciples of Buddhism changed, and no one can worship Buddhism anymore, and the sources of Buddhist disciples are generally two kinds, one is the disciples collected in the temple since childhood, these disciples Buddhism will be recorded, no matter how they are reincarnated, people in Buddhism will also try their best to re-enter Buddhism, accumulate merits, so that to a certain extent, they will pass on their cultivation method, so that they can make rapid progress. One is a believer, a fanatical believer, to put it bluntly, a person from Xiniuhezhou. There are many temples here, but not many people actually enter the temple, because everyone believes in Buddhism in the first place.
These two paths are the main sources of Buddhist disciples, and as for the rest, they are the monsters captured by Buddhism and the forcibly transited people. This kind of people are not willing to worship Buddhism, but are imprisoned. There is also the kind of person who wants to find a backer and worship Buddhism. This kind of person Buddhism generally does not give up, but it will definitely not be included in the core.
In fact, if you take a closer look at the sects of Buddhism, you will find it interesting.
When the two saints of the West apostatized to Buddhism, Buddhism was one sect, the only one. After the Great War of the Gods, Buddhism learned the lessons of the Interception of Buddhism, founded the Three Buddhas, and divided Buddhism into three, but to put it bluntly, it was still in one sect, until the big disciples of the Interception Sect entered the Buddha and founded Theravada Buddhism. At this point, Buddhism was actually divided into two.
This is Lao Tzu in order to divide the luck of the West and get it, but the two sages of the West are more at stake, and they directly let the Mahayana and Hinayana unity, so that the luck of the West grows again, the most important thing is that the unity of Buddhism is not really unified, but only the unity of the surface, but it is divided into many factions, and the core of Mahayana Buddhism is also hidden, and this is the root of the two sages of the West.
Up to now, how many sects of Buddhism there are, I'm afraid no one can count clearly, Guanglin Hengzhi has several of them, like what Huanxi Sect, Maitreya Sect, Gyro Gate and the like, there are countless of them, and those temples are almost a temple and a sect, which makes people unable to calculate.
The two saints of the West did this, which seemed to disperse the luck of the West, but in fact it was very smart, because some sects were destroyed, but some sects would still exist, so the West was in decline in luck, and it also preserved the opportunity to rise again, unlike the Interception Sect, which was directly destroyed by the Four Saints. The Taoist sects that expound many sects are learning Buddhism, otherwise they can directly occupy a Kunlun Mountain, why do they have to establish so many sects, and they can completely treat those mountains as branches, but in fact they are not.
Yuan Shi Tianzun himself, I'm afraid there are also worries about this, that is, Lao Tzu, not only established a Shu Mountain, the Taoist inheritance in the world, at the beginning was also from Lao Tzu, really speaking, many sects that are not expounding the religion nowadays, most of them have Lao Tzu thoughts, which can be regarded as his inheritance.
Everyone is very smart, but this cleverness makes Lin Heng a little crying and laughing. These saints, for the sake of luck, really don't care about anything. It is said that the saint represents the will of heaven, but in fact, the will of heaven is not the thought of a saint, but sometimes, the will of heaven cannot control the saint, after all, the saint is not the sky, unless the saint can be destroyed, but is this possible?
When pigs fly. Therefore, there is a difference between the saint and the providence of heaven, but what can all living beings say? They can't say anything, they can't do anything, because they're not strong enough.
If you want to wrestle with a saint, you must also be a saint, and you must be strong and smart enough, otherwise you will be like the heavens and be calculated.
Getting back to business - in the city of Garo. Lin Heng followed a group of monks to the Buddhist hall, where there are thirty-six Buddha statues around, representing the thirty-six protectors of the Garo Arhat, and in the front, there are three more huge Buddha statues, according to the people here, that is the three Buddha clones of the Garo Arhats, and also his reincarnation of the three bodies, all of which are of great merit and great mana.
Lin Heng carefully observed the three Buddha statues, and was slightly surprised. Because this Buddha statue is not carved from stone or metal. It's a real Buddha statue in the flesh. When he thought of what others had said, he couldn't help but think in his heart: Could it be that these three Buddha statues are really the first three incarnations of Jialuo?
This is not unreasonable. If a person is reincarnated, if he is a person of great merit, his physical body will also have the power of heaven and earth, and demons eat people, and this is what he eats. In addition to showing his merits and might, I am afraid that it is also through the faith of the people. Practicing the three incarnations, if you don't get it right, it is also to prepare for the future relics of the golden body.
Lin Heng has received the inheritance of burning lamps and knows many Buddhist cultivation methods, and Buddhism is most famous for its relics and golden bodies. This is a very beneficial supernatural ability, which can be practiced to produce three relics. What are the three for 龗? In order to kill three corpses. Cutting off the three corpses requires innate spirit treasures, but how can there be so many innate spirit treasures in the West, and there are already a number of innate spirit treasures. Even if the West has it, it will not be enough, so Buddhism has come up with a relic. for the purpose of beheading corpses.
In the record of burning the lamp, the relics also have a continuation of the supernatural power, that is, the Dharma doppelganger. What this Dharma doppelganger needs is the corpse of a living being, but it is a monster, but it is a human being, and the best thing is oneself. Ordinary people, how can they have their own self to practice their own clones. But the Buddhists have come up with a way, that is, to collect their reincarnated corpse and make it their own doppelganger, and the method of their sacrifice is to rely on faith and merit.
This Dharma clone is extremely powerful, and the associated corpses can even make it one and practice a true god, which is unpredictable. With his third life as a doppelganger, the Gararhat obviously wanted to practice this method.
Just when Lin Heng was thinking wildly, the Buddha light between heaven and earth surged, and a huge Buddha statue in the void stepped on the clouds. He stood on top of Guangcheng, and there seemed to be a figure sitting in it, but it was blocked by the Buddha's light, and even Lin Heng couldn't see it clearly. He knew that Arhat was the fruit of the Buddhist Taiyi Golden Immortal, and his ability was not enough, so he should not be able to see clearly. It's just that Jia Luo made such a momentum, but Lin Heng couldn't look down on it.
"Amitabha!" A Buddha's horn sounded throughout the city of Jialuo, and in an instant, the people in Guangcheng, the city, and outside the city were silent, and the people who believed in the Buddha looked at the huge Buddha statue devoutly, bowed their heads, and those who came to listen to the sermon also sat quietly aside, looking at the Buddha statue lightly, and their eyes pointed directly at the figure hidden in the Buddha statue. He didn't seem to care about everyone's actions, and after a Buddha horn, he began to talk about the Dharma.
Although Buddhism and Taoism are different, they are similar, after all, the two are in the same family, and the essence is still the same, and if there is really a complete difference, I am afraid that Buddhism is reluctant to talk about it.
In the crowd, Lin Heng listened to Jia Luo's Dafa, and his heart was also ready to move, he kept calculating what Jia Luo said in his mind, comparing them with his own cultivation one by one, and finding out his own shortcomings.
I don't know how long it took, as soon as he heard the voice of the arhat, Lin Heng was immediately awakened and looked up at the sky, what was that?
Lin Heng was startled, and couldn't help but stand up, and many people around him also noticed that something was wrong, and they got up one by one with shocked faces and looked behind the Buddha statue. Behind the Buddha statue, there is a huge dark cloud, covering the sky and the sun, blocking the Buddha light behind the Buddha statue, Naga Arhat, it seems that he has not yet discovered it. He stopped his voice because he had finished speaking, but everyone's eyes were strange, Jia Luo couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat, and he looked back and back, but this look made his heart tremble, what is this?
He was horrified in his heart, and the huge Buddha statue shone with dazzling Buddha light, confronting the black clouds. It's just that the black cloud seems to be too strong, and in the blink of an eye, it wraps the Buddha statue.
"Ah......h
With a miserable scream, the Buddha light faintly emerging from the black cloud disappeared, and the voice was Jia Luo's voice. Something happened to him, he died? This is an Arhat, just dead?
Almost all of the people below didn't believe it, and Lin Heng's eyes widened, his face full of shock. He noticed that when Garo's screams rang out, the three Buddha statues in front of the square made a crackling sound. When the golden light of the Buddha statue disappeared, the three Buddha statues also cracked completely, and the corpses turned into flying ashes, which were blown by the wind and scattered. There, only three milky white balls remained, are they relics? (To be continued......)
