Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Nine: The Four Directions Gather the Demon Cave
In other words, if the merit of the entire Buddhist sect is lower than that of the golden cicada, there is no one who is not afraid!
It is not like the Taoist sect that regards the physical body as a treasure of heaven and earth, pursues both physical and mental cultivation, and lives forever.
Buddhism regards the physical body as a stinky skin, and pursues to break free from the shackles and detach the spirit.
Not only does this method not require the use of external objects, but it also eliminates the long process of polishing the physical body, and it only takes one epiphany to achieve nirvana and transcendence.
But the question is, in addition to those with extremely high talents, how many of them can be cultivated in just a few decades?
When the end of his life, if he has not yet detached, he has to drink Meng Po soup and forget about the past. But even if you can be lucky enough to awaken Su Hui after reincarnation, if you didn't realize it in your previous life, can you realize it in this life?
If you don't drink it, not to mention that it violates the fundamental tenets of the equality of all beings, the Taoist sect that is eyeing you from the side will definitely not agree.
What to do in a dilemma?
Vow!
First overdraft the future merits to attain the fruition, and then slowly return it after immortality. As for the end of the repayment, anyway, if the Heavenly Dao is not investigated, it is better than sinking forever.
As soon as such a shortcut with less harm and more benefit came out, there were countless followers. In just a hundred years, Buddhism has become the overlord of countless fruits.
Although the self-proclaimed orthodox Taoist sect is greedy, in order not to change its fundamental doctrine, it is not easy to take full action. He made a specious Shinto to eat some scraps, and almost didn't make the Buddhas laugh off their big teeth.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and under the prosperity of cooking oil with fire, the disadvantages were gradually revealed. Because the predecessors sent out the less difficult vows, the latecomers could only blow bigger and bigger.
The most exaggerated thing is that he actually made a vow that all sentient beings would become Buddhas. Let's not talk about whether Lingshan can pretend to be able to pretend or not, how can I persuade Daomen to take refuge, it is estimated that the Buddha also wants to know......
These are all minor problems, and I don't know if I have been deceived too much, Tiandao seems to be alert. In recent years, there have been very few more vows, so there are fewer and fewer monks who have attained fruit.
Buddhism was unwilling to decay, so it went to great lengths to make a catastrophe of learning scriptures. In order to find a shortcut to attain the fruit in addition to the vow!
And this is also the cause of the debate between the golden cicada and the Buddha, and the golden cicada believes that everything in heaven and earth has a fixed number.
If the merits that originally belonged to sentient beings are overdrawn too much, and the Heavenly Dao is more than damaged and the deficiency is made up, I am afraid that the earthly potential will be exhausted. Since then, not only have all sentient beings suffered many calamities, but there will also be no sages born again.
Therefore, he advocated stopping the overdrawing of merits, and allowing the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats who had made vows to attain enlightenment to be extinguished, and to rely on their own attainment after reincarnation.
The result is obvious, before the debate is over, the golden cicada was sent to reincarnation by the Buddha in the unanimous opposition......
Because in the past 10,000 years, none of the people in the entire Buddhist sect who have relied on vows to make up for the overdraft merit have been able to make up for it. If it is really according to what Jin Chanzi said, the entire Lingshan will be empty!
They are not afraid that the Taoist gate will be bad, because the Buddhist gate is the old king's ignition. Even though those powers are angry, they do not dare to take risks.
The demon clan doesn't have to worry about it, it's just a beast who can't cultivate merits, and if they want to alarm the Heavenly Dao, they are powerless.
However, the golden cicada is different, he who has attained the Buddha's status by himself, not only has this ability, but also has no scruples about Taoism. So, for whatever purpose, the outcome is predestined before the debate begins......
But Manjushri never thought that after the reincarnation of the tenth generation, when the memory was wiped out, the golden cicada had not forgotten this stubble!
If it weren't for the wrong situation, he really wanted to ask, you are not the way of heaven, why do you care so much?
Does it have anything to do with you whether sentient beings suffer or not, and it is better to finish the scriptures well and be a high Buddha than anything else?!
But looking at the Heavenly Dao Eye that was about to take shape, he didn't dare to stimulate the other party anymore.
After swallowing with some difficulty, Manjushri barely squeezed out a smile and said, "Golden Cicada, you and I had some small frictions in the past, but it's not like this, right?" How about you invite Heavenly Dao back first, and the poor monk apologizes to you? ”
"Oh?"
Yu Gan raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "The poor monk only knows how to invite him, but he doesn't know the method to send it back, why don't the Bodhisattvas teach me?" ”
"Hum~"
As he spoke, the void between the two shook slightly, and an illusory eye suddenly formed.
Although it seems to be weak, the supreme aura contained in it makes people unable to resist at all.
Finished!
Looking at his own figure in the eyeballs, Manjusri's face turned pale.
Viciously gouging out Yu Gan's eyes, he cursed hoarsely: "Don't think that you can sit back and relax as a person who should be robbed, dare to use this forbidden method, you will wait to be ...... by the Buddha after learning the scriptures."
"Too much nonsense!"
Too lazy to listen to the wailing of the defeated dog, Yu Gan shook his sleeves, clasped his hands together and bowed to his chest, and said, "Congratulations to Manjushri on the road." ”
"Po~"
The Heavenly Dao Eye made a soft sound like a bubble cracking, like a light smoke dissipating. The small corner was once again in its old form, as if everything before was just an illusion.
"Uh~"
When the great merit obtained from the vow left with the Heavenly Dao, Manjushri, who had fallen from the bodhisattva fruit, only had time to scream for half a time, and then passed out due to the impact of the violent spiritual power.
Without the suppression of merit, boundless karma turned into a pitch-black flame and rose up, as if to vent out the resentment that had been suppressed for thousands of years.
"It's not time yet, you can't die at my hands."
Flicking a trace of merit into Manjushri's body, which looked like an evil ghost, Yu Gan shook his head and turned to walk towards the chaise longue.
"Don't be unwilling, you're just a ...... start"
Without spiritual protection, the small corner was instantly filled with thunder. After a few breaths, there was less of an upside-down captive in front of the Fire Cloud Cave, and more piles of ashes scattered in the wind.
The head of the four bodhisattvas, if you come to the left flank, Manjushri's soul is scattered!
"Bang!"
In the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the eyes of Rulai, who was preaching, suddenly opened, and the huge fluctuations of Buddha's power shook the case in front of him into thousands of fragments.
The Bodhisattvas who were listening attentively were suddenly startled, and subconsciously looked towards the lotus platform. I saw that the face of the Buddha, who had been light and light for thousands of years, was quite ugly, and his round eyes were dazzling with golden light, as if he wanted to penetrate the heavens and the earth.
"Venerable Guanyin, go and invite the Buddha of Good Wandering, the Buddha of Cili, the Buddha of Huisheng, the Buddha of Dharma and the Bodhisattva of Veda to come, Venerable Manjushri has fallen."
"What?!"
The last few words were like thunder, and all the Bodhisattvas were shocked to ignore the presence of the Buddha, and they all exclaimed in surprise.
How so? How can it be?!
Although Manjushri is only a bodhisattva, his status is still above that of many Buddhas. Who was so bold as to dare to kill it, and even let go of the spirit?!
Ignoring the shocked Bodhisattvas, Rulai's eyes turned slightly, and he penetrated the realm of the Spirit Mountain with thousands of golden lights and probed towards the void.
After a while, the golden light in his eyes suddenly converged, and he snorted and slowly closed his eyes.
What about the Four Emperors?
As long as it is not the meaning of that person, whoever dares to stop the study of the scriptures will be with my Buddhism to the death!
In the extreme west of the Heavenly Court, in a huge palace surrounded by ten thousand thunders, Emperor Gou Chen, who was wearing an indigo auspicious cloud robe, shook his body and suddenly stood up from the dragon chair.
The twelve strings of white jade under the crown swayed, and he glared fiercely at the direction of Lingshan and said angrily: "What kind of madness is this beard!" ”
After closing his eyes and calculating, the anger rolling in his chest stagnated slightly.
"Tong'er, order Sidou, Jiuyao, and Twenty-eight Pleiades to go to the Dry Pine Stream Fire Cloud Cave. If you encounter a Buddhist ......"
Almost at the same time, in the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, the Jade Emperor put the jade slip on the case, and commanded in a deep voice: "Spread the decree, order the two parts of water and fire to be in the lower realm, and help Li Tianwang subdue the demon!" ”
