Maitreya Buddha, one of the eight great bodhisattvas of Chinese Mahayana Buddhism, is the successor of Shakyamuni, the future Buddha, and is regarded as the originator of the Enlightenment school.

Maitreya Buddha has always been able to tolerate things in the world with a big belly. He is known for laughing at the ridiculous people in the world.

It is rumored that in the earliest period, around the 5th century AD, there were rumors about the birth of Maitreya, which was believed by many people. During the anniversary of the Tang Dynasty, the empress established the Tushi Heavenly Palace to worship Maitreya Buddha.

The most famous incarnation of Maitreya Buddha is the Budai monk of the Five Dynasties period, and the record of the Budai monk, there is a clear record in history, it is a native of Fenghua, Ningbo, wearing a cloth bag, and the things that are packed in it are never poured out. If someone asks him about the Dharma, he puts the bag down. If you don't understand what he means. When he continued to ask, he immediately lifted the sack and left without looking back. They still didn't pay attention to him, and he laughed.

Such a strange person, in the five dynasties many times in the rivers and lakes and even in the imperial court, and later, the rumors about Maitreya Buddha can only be seen in the Buddhist scriptures, and the folk people portrayed his easy-going and laughing image as a laughing Buddha worship.

People in the world have always listened to the wind and rain, and many people have mythologies, unwilling or even unwilling to know the truth, and the truth is often too cruel for people to accept.

Just like Nangong Yu back then, the little fairy in everyone's mind, worshiped by thousands of people under the mountain. As a result, in the end, the image of Nangong Yu they believed in became a god, but Nangong Yu himself was depressed and was pushed off the altar.

In the pre-Qin period, there was a woodcutter who went into the mountains to cut wood. After seeing two old men playing chess, after a game of chess, a hundred years have passed unconsciously, and after returning home, the woodcutter asked and realized that his son had been dead for many years, and his grandson was much older than him.

The woodcutter revealed his identity and told some things from the past. His grandson knew that the person under him was his grandfather who disappeared when he went into the mountains to chop firewood, but he didn't recognize him, but pointed to a plaque enshrined on the ancestral hall and said, That's my grandfather, he is dead and alive in our hearts!

The woodcutter knows what his grandson means, his friends are all dead, and his own grandson doesn't recognize each other, and if he does what a young man does at the age of 100, he is no different from a monster in the eyes of others, and it can be said that he is out of place.

The woodcutter's grandson would rather his grandfather die than destroy his grandfather's image in everyone's minds, and the woodcutter himself ended up depressed and died alone in poverty.

When faith breaks, some people cannot accept it, and some people will reconstruct it and compile it in writing, so that it is full and true.

Heaven and earth**, the three rooms and the seven worlds, the top of the man-made food chain, whether it is a human, a god or a demon, or anyone who offends the human race, will eventually perish.

The old monk Xuanhai said that after the disaster in the Buddha country, many people wanted to contact the Empress Wu and let everyone out, but when everyone heard that the Empress Wu had died, they were disheartened and cried loudly. And the Buddha kingdom was almost wiped out in that disaster, and the rest of the people hid and survived.

God can be above man, but not over rulers.

What is the significance of Empress Wu Zetian's establishment of the Buddha Kingdom?

Is it really like the rumor that the old monk of Xuanhai heard, gather the strength of all the monks to establish the Yunhai Heavenly Palace?

I asked again, "Have you ever heard of this person?" ”

When the old monk Xuanhai heard me mention the ghost Rulai, his face appeared frightened, he turned his head to look at the huge skeleton beside him, his body trembled, and in the huge skull, two more blue flames suddenly became vigorous, and in the boom, the old monk Xuanhai's body ignited flames.

The old monk Xuanhai said: "Ghosts are taboo in Buddhism, especially for people in the Buddha country, it is a curse, you can't say it!" ”

The body of the old monk Xuanhai was buried in the flames, I looked at the huge skull on the opposite side, and slammed it with a punch, the skull shattered, and two blue sparks dissipated into the air.

At this time, a group of monks outside the cave turned into ghouls were fighting with Song Gang, and suddenly they all turned into dry bones and collapsed on the ground, and after a while, I came out of the cave.

Song Gang frowned when he saw it, and asked, "What happened just now, what's going on inside?" ”

I told me what I had just experienced, and Song Gang listened to it and said, "Is the ghost so evil? Is he the real body of Rulai? ”

I said: "No one can tell, unless the ghost is caught, but his skill is too high and I am not an opponent, now I vaguely feel that something big may happen, the master in the Pure Land appeared and said that the great world is coming." ”

When Song Gang heard about the Pure Land, his face couldn't help but feel a little sad, before nightfall, I had already told him everything that happened in the Pure Land, and the deaths of Li Xiangyu and Bai Rong and others made Song Gang very sad.

Song Gang said: "In the battle of the great world, many masters will surface, with my current strength, even Zhang Tianzong is not an opponent, how can I resist the tide of the great world?" ”

After that, Song Gang and I looked in several nearby sand dunes, some of which had been completely buried by yellow sand, and it was too difficult to dig them up with Dao Qi alone, and in the end we didn't find any clues, and we didn't encounter any more situations like in the first sand dune.

When it was close to dawn, Song Gang and I returned to the inn, the white-haired child Duguyu had not woken up yet, we all squinted for a while, and at noon, I was about to go around Shacheng to take a look at the landform of the sand dunes of the Buddha Kingdom, when I suddenly heard a painful gasp.

"It's that kid who woke up!" Song Gang said, and hurriedly ran towards Duguyu.

Dugu Yu was lying on the bed, looking at me with his eyes open, but his eyes did not have the slightest brilliance, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it.

Song Gang looked at me and said, "How could he be like this, he can't even speak?" ”

I said, "His vitality is too overdrawn, and I'm afraid he won't be able to recover." ”

Song Gang said: "I remember that he seemed to have said that his master would save him, but for so long, where have I seen his master?" ”

I said, "Right now, he can't hold out for long, his life force has been completely exhausted, I thought my chaotic qi could force his life, I don't know why this happened. ”

I remembered that there were some Zhu Guo in my golden lamp, and there was even a Linglong fruit, first took out Zhu Guo, dripped out the juice in Zhu Guo, and dripped it into his mouth, Dugu Yu even had a hard time swallowing at this time, after swallowing the juice of Zhu Guo, his old skin did not improve in the slightest, but his eyes kept staring at me.

Then, Duguyu raised his hand and pointed to the top of my head.

I heard him cry out with great difficulty, "Master." ”

"He's calling you?" Song Gang didn't know, so he looked at me and said.

I frowned, and the little boy pointed to the top of my head, and above my head was the Dao Venerable Order, he could see the Dao Venerable Order above my head?

"This kid has the ability to predict, he knows how to save him, the Daozun Order is a Taoist inheritance holy relic, anyone who has the Daozun Order, will be protected by the ancestors, most of the Daozun in the past dynasties are more than 100 years old, although they are not immortal, but they can indeed save their lives, maybe the Daozun Order can save him." I said.

"How can I save the Daozun Order?" Song Gang didn't understand what I meant.

I said, "Inherit the Daozun Order to him, and let him be the Daozun." ”

"You're not kidding, are you?" Song Gang was a little surprised by my words. "Dao Zun Order can also be changed at will?"

I said: "The Daozun Order can stabilize the soul and make people's divine consciousness extremely powerful, this kid has saved you, and I also have a fate, which reminds me of the child I saw next to the flower on the other side twice, and the Daozun Decree passed on to him can save him mostly." ”

"Old Daozun got the Daozun order at the age of thirty-nine, you got the Daozun order at the age of twenty, this kid was only six or seven years old and got the Daozun order, he is my savior, if you are willing, I have nothing to say." Song Gang said. Carried around the demon field.

I said: "The Daozun Order is just a shackle for me, it is uncomfortable to be pushed to the forefront of morality all day long, you have to consider the consequences of everything, and at every turn there are people who compare the great sages of the past dynasties with me, and it is very tiring to live, if you can save him, it would be better to pass it on to him." ”

I recited the Taoist Sutra in my mouth, driven by my mind, and took the Daozun Order from above the divine soul, and the Daozun Decree has now merged with my divine soul, and forcibly took it off, which gave me a headache for a while.

Since ancient times, there has never been a generation of Dao Zun who has taken down the Dao Zun Order and passed it on to others in such a short period of time after becoming a Dao Zun, not to mention that this child is still a person I don't know.

"Are you alright?" Song Gang said a little worriedly, looking at my face suddenly became very bad, as if I was injured, the defense of people's souls is almost zero, once injured, their souls will be scattered, although Song Gang has never tried to go out of the body, but he knows this truth.

The Dao Venerable Order was taken down by me from above the Divine Soul, emitting a strong white light, and the words of the Innate Infinite Twelve Dao Venerable Orders were written on it, and the appearance was simple, and it was like nothing. Composed entirely of light.

I fused the Daozun Order on the little boy's soul, carefully guarding his soul, now his soul is still too weak to be called a divine soul, can only be carefully cared for, the Daozun Order is so powerful that he will give birth to a divine sense, forcibly open his brain domain, and if he is not careful, he will be doomed.

In the flow of light, the little boy's body emitted white light, and the Daozun Order fused into the little boy's body, exuding a faint light, slowly circulating.

And the old face of the little boy was changing at a speed visible to the naked eye, his wrinkled skin was becoming shiny, his gray hair was turning black, and to my surprise, he was the same little boy I had seen twice beside the flower on the other side.

He crossed thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and used the power of foreknowledge to find the flowers on the other side, so that I could save him?

Dugu Yu's face was pale and a little weak, and he looked at me with tears in his eyes and said, "Master, you're here!" ”

"Are you so sure I'm going to take you as an apprentice?" I said with a smile.

Lonely Rain got up, knelt in front of me and kowtowed, saying, "Lonely Rain, the last guardian of the Buddha Kingdom, meet the master!" The apprentice was abrupt, the master was supposed to accept the apprentice after three years, which frightened the master! ”

Lonely Rain said, and kowtowed again, I hurriedly pulled this kid up and said: "You have the ability to predict, and it's a good thing to be able to save yourself by breaking the sky, although it makes me feel like an apprentice for nothing, but I like it a lot, but I will temporarily seal your ability for a period of time, so that you can adapt to the ability to live without foreknowledge, otherwise the Dao Zun Order will not be able to save you." ”

Dugu Yu said obediently: "I know the master." ”

I said with a serious face: "Also, in the future, you will be the sixty-fifth generation of Taoist protectors, the supreme of contemporary Taoism!" ”
