Chapter 61: The Eight Great Sects

It is said that one of the beads of the Bodhi Sacred Bead in Ling Jingtian's hand has an obvious crack, and Master Xuanzhen is shocked, but he knows that not ordinary things in the world can easily cause cracks in the Holy Bead. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Master Xuanzhen looked at the holy bead in Ling Jingtian's hand, his brows were tightly locked, he didn't say a word for a long time, and his heart was full of endless worries. He slowly raised his old right hand, pinched his fingers, frowned, and said:

"Disciple, the days of peace are about to pass, and the Three Realms are about to be in chaos!"

"The Three Realms? Master, are you saying that in addition to our Yang Realm and the Otherworld, the Spirit Realm outside of the Six Realms of Reincarnation will also be implicated? Ling asked in surprise.

"You can know that evil spirits have coexisted with humans since ancient times, they were born in the yang realm, and when the resentment in their hearts is resolved through revenge, they will be swallowed by the spirit realm outside the six realms of reincarnation, and they will not be reincarnated forever. And those evil spirits that have too much resentment will continue to exist in the Yang Realm. Master Xuan Zhen said in a deep tone.

"The spirit world has always been independent of the yang world and the other world, and no one has been able to set foot in it since ancient times, including mortals and evil spirits living in the yang world, how can Master say that the Three Realms will be in chaos?"

Master Xuanzhen stroked the white beard that hung down like a waterfall on his chest, and then said:

"You're right, but the spirit realm does exist, but we don't know the way or the way to it. Moreover, the evil spirits devoured by the spirit world are only sleeping inside, not disappearing and disillusioned. If the door to the spirit realm is opened, they are likely to be awakened and return to the yang realm, and then the world may be in chaos with unimaginable consequences. ”

Listening to what Xuan Zhen said, Ling Jingtian's expression couldn't help but become serious, he didn't expect that the development of things had exceeded the scope he expected.

It is said that as early as more than 100 years ago, Master Zu once encountered a powerful evil spirit that was rare in a hundred years, and successfully opened the door to the spiritual world, and a large number of evil spirits woke up from the spiritual world and returned to the yang world to do evil, causing the lives of the yang world to be ruined.

Buddhism is divided into eight major sects. The first is the Three Treatises sect also known as the Dharma Nature Sect, the second is the Yoga Sect also known as the Dharma Xiang Sect, the Benevolence Sect, and the Wisdom Sect, the third is the Tiantai Sect, the fourth is the Xianshou Sect also known as the Huayan Sect, the fifth is the Zen Sect, the sixth is the Pure Land Sect, the seventh is the Vinaya Sect, and the eighth is the Tantra sect also known as the Shingon Sect. That is what is commonly referred to as the eight major sects of sexuality, physiognomy, Taiwan, sage, Zen, purity, law, and esotericism. Hyuntong Temple belongs to the Pure Land sect.

In fact, Buddhism is inherently one, and there are many different branches and schools of thought and practice due to the different levels of wisdom and merit of the recipients, i.e., the level of their roots, as well as the differences in the era of living and the circumstances in which they live.

In addition, the eight major sects had a feud many years ago because of the robbery of the six great spiritual treasures of Buddhism, and even today there is still a gap between the sects, after all, the six treasures and the eight families are not enough to divide! Conflicts will arise between you and others, and conflicts can easily escalate into sectarian hatred.

Moreover, every sect will not let go of any opportunity to win the treasure of the spirit, and is eager to take all six treasures, and the Xiantong Temple has won two major treasures in the fierce treasure snatching struggle with its own strength and has been passed down to this day.

The eight major sects are also forced by the situation to work together to fight against the evil spirits, either working together to survive or even save the common people, or each sect will fight alone and end up failing.

In the end, Xiantong Temple successfully joined forces with the eight major sects of Buddhism, and after a long period of hard fighting, it finally defeated the army of evil spirits under the leadership of powerful evil spirits, rescued the common people, and maintained the balance of the Three Realms.

More than a hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye, and history may repeat itself, and the people of the Yang Realm will encounter unavoidable misfortunes and disasters.

"I pinched my fingers for the teacher, and found that there were many powerful evil spirit breaths in the Yang Realm, in addition to the beast spirits you mentioned, maybe there are even more powerful evil spirits that have been born, powerful enough to break the balance of the Three Realms."

Ling Jingtian looked at the Bodhi Sacred Bead in his hand, knowing that the greater the power, the greater the responsibility, but he did not have enough confidence to rely on his own strength to turn the tide and save the common people in this great catastrophe. I hope to gather the eight major sects to face the difficulties like Master Zu.

"Then we must gather the eight major sects to fight against the arrival of this disaster! to have the best chance of winning! Ling Jingtian held the holy bead in his hand tightly and said with a firm look in his eyes.

Xuan Zhen stroked the long gray hair on his chest again, sighed and said:

"It all depends on the creation, I hope that the creation will not make people, and I hope that the Yang Realm can rely on everyone's concerted efforts to avoid this shocking catastrophe again."

Master Xuan Zhen and Ling Jingtian fell silent at the same time, and at the moment of the great calamity, the strength of the individual seemed so weak and so limited.

The contradictions of the eight major sects can be said to have a long history, and once again joining forces to form a forbidden situation, I don't know if the will of one sect alone can achieve the best results as more than a hundred years ago. But I firmly believe that each denomination will eventually work together to get rid of the trouble.

However, another purpose of Ling Jingtian's ascent to the mountain this time was for Xiao Junlin, he looked at the innocent and lovely Xiao Junlin, and his heart couldn't help but feel guilty about Wu Hanlin and his wife again, he said:

"Master, the disciple actually went up the mountain this time for one thing, I hope the master can agree."

Although Master Xuanzhen can know everything in the world by pinching his fingers, the heart of the world can't be counted with his fingers. Puzzled, he asked:

"I don't know what else is going on?"

"Actually, the disciple wants to take Mr. Wu's son-in-law down the mountain and take on the responsibility of raising him, so that the disciple can make up for the debt to their couple, otherwise the disciple will not be able to forgive his incompetence and mistakes in this life."

Ling Jingtian said with a sad face.

Xuan Zhen looked at Xiao Junlin and was silent for a few seconds, and then said:

"The teacher originally planned that if his parents had any accidents, he would let him stay in the temple and cultivate carefully, and take on the responsibilities of his parents. And I also saw in him the figure of your childhood, as if time had gone back to the past. It's just that the teacher is old, and I don't know if I can fulfill my responsibilities, so it must be the best choice to go down the mountain with you. ”

Ling Jingtian also nodded silently, and said with emotion:

"Thank you Master for her careful cultivation over the years, and my disciple will never forget it! This time, let the disciples share the burden for you! ”

Master Xuanzhen's kind face showed a smile of relief, not only did he see Ling Jingtian's figure when he was a child on Xiao Junlin, but also saw his young figure on Ling Jingtian.

It was dusk, the remnant sun was like blood, and I didn't know if it would be possible to continue as usual tomorrow after sunset.
