Chapter 447: Impacting the Quasi-Saint
As expected by Rulai and others, after entering Wuzhuang Guan, the grumpy Monkey King had a conflict with Qingfeng Mingyue, who was in a bad mood. He almost got into a fight.
Although Qingfeng and Mingyue are disciples of Zhen Yuanzi, their cultivation is not high, and even if they are combined, they are not Sun Wukong's opponents. Therefore, after Sun Wukong released the momentum of his body, they relented and apologized to the foursome very aggrieved.
If they don't accept softness, they can't beat each other because of their lack of strength; Second, they no longer have a backer, and it is impossible for them to be as tough as before. Moreover, they already knew the identities of these four people, who were the people arranged by Buddhism to learn the scriptures, and if the ginseng fruit tree was stolen, they would have to take some of the fruit so that they could live and entertain these people.
In short, in the end, there was no fight.
Sun Wukong didn't want to stop, but was scolded by Qingfeng and Mingyue, he wanted to teach the two of them a lesson very much, but was stopped by Tang Seng.
In Tang Seng's view, not to mention staying at other people's Taoist temples, and having a quarrel with the master, it was not right, but now everyone has softened, and if they don't forgive, they are evil guests, and they can't take advantage of it at all. If this matter is spread, won't it tarnish oneself and the image of Buddhism?
In order to stop the irascible Monkey King, he even recited the mantra of the hoop, and finally got along.
It's just that Rulai was very dissatisfied after learning about this situation, after all, what kind of disaster is it if the two parties don't fight, is it a catastrophe to "quarrel overnight"?
Of course, it's not impossible, anyway, they are thick-skinned enough, and they insist that this is a catastrophe, which has exercised the temperament of Tang monks and apprentices, and it is reasonable. However, even if it is a calamity, it is the lowest calamity. In this way, in the future, the scriptures that will be transmitted back to Nanzhan Prefecture will have one more low-quality scripture and one less high-quality scripture.
After hesitating for a moment, Rulai had no choice but to ask Zhen Yuanzi again, hoping that he would help improve the difficulty of this catastrophe.
This time, Zhen Yuanzi agreed, and got in touch with Qingfeng and Mingyue......
Then, on the fifth watch, Qingfeng and Mingyue suddenly attacked Sun Wukong and others because they were "very concerned", wanting to sneak attack them while they were asleep, and Tang Seng was almost injured.
There is no doubt that in the end, of course, it ended in failure, Qingfeng and Mingyue were both knocked over by Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie, if it wasn't for Zhen Yuanzi who appeared in time and took them away, there is a chance that they would have to explain here......
The farce of the Journey to the West is still going on here, and over there, Mu Feng has already occupied Da Luotian and arranged for several righteous gods to be stationed here to manage it.
This move naturally attracted the attention of Rulai and the others, although they were a little resentful and did not want to see Heavenly Court continue to grow, but as predicted by Tongtian, they did not make a big move because of the battle they had just lost, but chose to ignore it.
Although he controlled another layer of heaven, Mu Feng's qi luck did not increase much. It's not that the increased luck is less, in fact, for ordinary monks, the luck brought by a layer of heaven is already very huge.
Unfortunately, he was not an ordinary monk, and as the titular Lord of the Three Realms, the amount of luck he had now was even greater, and the increased "this" luck was not worth mentioning in comparison.
There is no doubt that he still did not reach the epiphany.
Although he was a little disappointed, he still followed Yuchen Daojun's instructions and went to Shangqing Tianbi Palace again.
Seeing him reappear, Yuchen Daojun couldn't help but ask, "Is there a sign of an epiphany?" ”
Mu Feng shook his head helplessly, "No, it feels a little worse, if you take the four Brahmas over, it should be almost the same......"
"Unless Buddhism is exterminated, the Four Brahmanas still don't think about it, that's what they call the Western Elysium."
When it came to 'Elysium', Yuchen Daojun's tone was obviously a little ironic.
Mu Feng didn't speak, only nodded, but there was some regret in his heart.
Seeing this, Yuchen Daojun said with a smile: "Do you know why you want to come here again?" ”
"I don't know." Mu Feng didn't guess, he really didn't know what this master was thinking at the moment.
Yuchen Daojun didn't sell it, and there was still a faint smile on his face, "Although my luck is in full swing today, it can't be transformed into strength in a short period of time, it's a pity." Therefore, the teacher wants to help you. ”
Mu Feng was slightly stunned, and said curiously: "What does Shizun want to help me?" ”
"You sit down, close your eyes and concentrate, and hold Yuan Shouyi." Yuchen Daojun said lightly.
Although Mu Feng still had some doubts, he still complied, and immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes. He knew that Tongtian would never harm himself at this time.
At this moment, Yuchen Daojun's voice sounded again, "I have saved a lot of merit over the years, and I will consume some of it for you today, and use this as a guide to help you enter the state of epiphany." ”
With that, he raised his hand and pointed at it, and a golden cloud of merit appeared, floating directly above Mu Feng's head. The next moment, Mu Feng let out a sigh of relief, feeling that the entire cloud of luck was attracted by this golden cloud of merit, and a mysterious aura was released.
It didn't take long for a loud "boom" to suddenly appear in his mind, as if some kind of barrier had been broken, and the Yuan Shen had directly entered the pure Heavenly Dao rules!
For a while, countless insights followed......
I don't know how long it took, but he finally opened his eyes, and a flash of light flashed with it.
Seeing that Yuchen Daojun was still standing in front of him, he hurriedly got up, made a big salute to him, and said movingly: "Thank you Master for spending precious merits to help me enter the state of epiphany!" ”
For any monk, merit is an extremely precious thing that he would not be willing to use to help others. As far as he knew, Tongtian had never spent merit for the other disciples, and he was the first, and possibly the last.
Tongtian smiled, waved his hand and said: "It's just an introduction, in fact, it doesn't cost much merit, you don't need to care, the reason why you can enter the state of epiphany again is mainly because of your skyrocketing luck." ”
If he wanted to use pure merit to help Mu Feng improve his cultivation, he would definitely not agree, because the merit consumed was very large, and it would also make other disciples jealous. However, if it was just a primer to help him open the door, there would be no problem, and he was more than willing to help.
Although he knew that he really didn't spend much merit, Mu Feng still saluted him again, "Anyway, Master Venerable has helped me a lot today. If it weren't for you, I would never have entered a state of epiphany, and it would take at least a few hundred years to break through to the quasi-saint realm......"
Before he could finish speaking, Yuchen Daojun interrupted, "You and I, master and apprentice, if you say something like this again, you will be divided." By the way, what is the state of your primordial spirit now? ”
"Quasi-Saint Stage!" Mu Feng was a little excited, "Once the mana realm is raised, you can kill a corpse in a short time!" ”
Every monk has "three corpses", which are the good corpse, the evil corpse and the self corpse, corresponding to good thoughts, evil thoughts and obsessions. Only by cutting off these three thoughts and no longer being affected by these three thoughts can we truly achieve the state of unity between heaven and man.
Heaven and man are one, coexist with heaven and earth, immortal and immortal, no disasters and no calamities, this is a saint!
The monks who enter the process of "beheading the corpse" are called quasi-saints.
If you really want to talk about it, in fact, there is no early, middle, or late stage of quasi-saints, only the quasi-saints who beheaded one corpse, the quasi-saints who beheaded two corpses, and the quasi-saints who beheaded three corpses.
At the moment, there is not a single quasi-saint who beheads three corpses, including the old quasi-saints such as Styx and Zhen Yuanzi, they are all just quasi-saints who behead two corpses.
No way, the self-corpse is too difficult to kill. From the beginning of Hongmeng to the present, there is only one person who has successfully beheaded his own corpse, and that is Hongjun, who is also the only one who has become holy by beheading three corpses.
As for the six saints who appeared later, they actually followed the path of meritorious enlightenment.
Lao Tzu, Yuan Shi and Tongtian relied on the identity of Pangu to establish a sect and attract the merits of opening the heavens, which directly changed from beheading two corpses to saints.
And Nuwa relied on the merit of kneading the soil to create people, and she also changed from a quasi-saint who beheaded two corpses directly to a saint.
Although the two sages of the West did not have great merit, when they founded the Western Church, they made 48 great vows, and obtained a large amount of merit in the form of "loans", and thus became holy, which is not much different from the previous four saints.
Speaking of which, they were indeed considered talents to be able to comprehend the method of "making great wishes", not only did they become sanctified because of this, but several of their disciples also improved their cultivation a lot through this method.
For example, Guanyin, who made a great vow, did not benefit all sentient beings, and vowed not to become a Buddha. As soon as the ambition was made, although it had not yet been completed, it had obtained the merit in the form of a loan. With these merits, her cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, and she became the most famous bodhisattva in Buddhism.
Another example is the king of Jizo, who made a great vow that hell would not be empty, and he would not become a Buddha.
At first glance, these ambitions are false slogans, and they can't be realized at all, and I don't know how they succeeded in deceiving the heavens.
Because they did not kill their own corpses, the six saints still retained their own private feelings and desires, and did not completely calm and do nothing like Hongjun.
This is a very bad thing for the whole world, and if they can be like Hongjun, there is no telling how much strife will be reduced in this world. You must know that basically every time there is a calamity, they push the wave flame retardant behind. And it is often their disciples who cause the calamity......
"Hahaha, if you can become a quasi-saint in a short period of time, it will not be in vain for me to spend merit to help you. By the way, Zhen Yuanzi's ginseng fruit tree was seized by you, right? Those ginseng fruits can help you quickly increase your mana. Yuchen Daojun said with a smile.
In fact, he was somewhat dissatisfied with Mu Feng's theft of the ginseng fruit tree, firstly, Mu Feng did not discuss it with him at all when he did this, and secondly, this matter was very involved, and the slightest carelessness would set up a powerful enemy for the sect.
Fortunately, Zhen Yuanzi didn't know that this matter was done by Mu Feng for the time being, and it didn't cause too serious consequences.
This is what Yuchen Daojun thinks now, obviously he doesn't know that Buddhism has solved the misunderstanding with Zhen Yuanzi. Zhen Yuanzi really didn't know that the ginseng fruit tree was on Mu Feng's body, but he had already begun to suspect the interception......
At this time, not a single minute or second could be wasted, and after talking a few words with Yuchen Daojun, Mu Feng sat down cross-legged, preparing to retreat and cultivate directly in Biyou Palace.
Immediately, he took out a ginseng fruit and swallowed it in one gulp.
Seeing this scene, Yuchen Daojun shook his head, sometimes he really felt that this disciple was a little lawless, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.
However, he didn't bother Mu Feng, but instead laid some defensive prohibitions for him on the side.
……
After Mu Feng's retreat, the whole world calmed down.
Although Buddhism suffered a great loss in the last battle, Buddhism did not immediately seek revenge from the sect, on the contrary, at this time, their minds were focused on learning from the scriptures.
It is no longer possible to push down the sect in a wave, they can only return to the original plan, increase the strength of Buddhism by learning from the scriptures, and then have a decisive battle with the sect.
Our Lady of Jin Ling and the others did not want to see the success of Buddhism's plan to learn scriptures, but wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble, but unfortunately, Mu Feng, who was the lord of the heavenly court, was in retreat at this time, and they were not good at making claims, so they could only wait while getting ready.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, two years have passed.
In the Biyou Palace, a huge momentum suddenly spread, forming a huge pressure on several Dao children in the palace.
After sensing this momentum, Yuchen Daojun, who was in the main hall with his eyes closed, frowned slightly, slightly disappointed. This momentum seemed to be very powerful, but he knew very well that he had not reached the quasi-saint realm.
It seems that after two years of hard work, Mu Feng still failed to behead the corpse......
Although he was very regretful, he didn't show it, and then raised his hand and waved it to help the trembling Dao Tong block this momentum, and then stepped on it and appeared in front of Mu Feng.
At this moment, Mu Feng just opened his eyes, saw him appear, was a little ashamed, and said, "The disciple is incompetent, which has disappointed the master." I don't know why, after trying for so long, I still don't know how to cut off the two corpses of good and evil, so that Xiu Wei still stays in the realm of Da Luo Jin Immortal. ”
Although he failed to become a quasi-saint, in fact, his strength has improved a lot in the past two years, he used to be in the middle stage of Da Luo Jin Xian, but now he is the peak of Da Luo Jin Xian, and he may break through to the quasi-saint at any time.
Yuchen Daojun shook his head and said, "I can't blame you for this matter, it's because the teacher is too anxious." If you want to become a quasi-saint, it is not enough to improve the realm of the primordial god and the realm of mana, the difficulty is to recognize yourself and kill the three corpses. When I crossed this hurdle as a teacher, it was not easy. ”
"Shizun is a person from the past, and now he is a heavenly saint, but what can teach me?" Mu Fengren asked the resident.
He really wanted to break through to the quasi-saint realm. In this way, he will be able to have more dominance in the next big battle.
In addition, after becoming a quasi-saint, the task of unifying the underworld can also be tried to be completed, and after getting the opportunity to become a saint, will the saint be far away?
