Chapter 14: The Bright Mother of Heaven, the Rise and Fall of the Kingdom
Compared with the newborn Taishang Lao Dan, he is the same as the light and dust, and is no different from a secular baby. As soon as the little prince of the Shakya tribe named Siddhartha Gautama was born, everyone was taken aback.
"Heaven and earth, I am the only one. ”
The path of this prince's birth was different, not through the birth canal of his mother, Lady Maya, but descending from the right rib, which is the same as the reincarnation of many Hindu gods.
After he was born, he looked like he was the size of a three-year-old child, that is, he walked seven steps around the ten directions, and the lotus blossomed from the ground, taking on his feet, pointing to the sky with his right hand and the earth with his left, and roaring as a lion: "Heaven and the world, I am the only one, and the three worlds are all suffering, and I should be at peace." ”
Then all the visions vanished, the three-year-old child was gone, and the little prince was lying in the cradle like an ordinary baby.
This scene made the servants and maids around him, and even his father, King Pure Rice, stunned and inexplicable, as if everything just now was a dream.
"Haha, my Shakya clan is about to produce a saint. ”
All kinds of visions show that this child will have great achievements. King Johan laughed heartily and thanked his queen.
But his queen, Lady Maya, died seven days later for some reason. The responsibility of raising the little prince was entrusted to the other wife of the King of Pure Rice, the sister of Lady Maya, Lady Jaboti.
"If it comes, go to it. ”
The lecture on the snowy mountain stopped abruptly, and then waved his hand to let all the bodhisattvas and arhats in front of him leave.
In front of him, the disciples sat cross-legged, Avalokiteshvara, Manjushri, Puxian, Jizo, Maitreya, Kasya, Vibha, Corpse Abandonment, Vaishfu, Detention Sun and Kanna Hanmuni. There are also a few others, who are the biological mother of the lamp, Mrs. Gundy, and the four children of Gundy, who are fighting, fearing, seedless, and Kaitian.
More than two hundred years have passed, and they have all achieved the realm of arhats.
Maitreya, who had a big belly and was smiling endlessly, suddenly sensed something, and had a trace of worry: "Teacher, is there something wrong?"
Above the lamp, the lamp suddenly shone brightly: "The day of Shakya's enlightenment, that is, the time when I am extinguished." ”
Hearing the words of the burning lamp, Gunti's face suddenly changed, and he didn't know what to say.
"Mother, you stay, and the others go on their own. ”
With another wave of his hand, he directly waved these bodhisattvas and arhats away, and then in front of Gongti's eyes, the light of his lamp became brighter and brighter, illuminating the void, and a heaven and earth slowly appeared in the void.
"Mother, when we first met in the past, you were just a girl serving the Immortal in Clothes, did you ever think that you would be in such a situation?"
Gundy's eyes were full of memories: "I was just thinking about a happy life, how could I have imagined that my experience would be so ups and downs. I don't know if it's appropriate to call you a son now, but I've always been grateful to you, and if it weren't for your help, I'm afraid there would have been more tragedies in my life. ”
Burning Lamp smiled, and with a flick of his fingers, a ray of sunfire flew out, enveloping some of the flames on his lamp and throwing it at the center of Gundy's brow.
Then, above Gundy's eyebrows, a god's eyes like a flame of sunlight appeared, illuminating the vulture cave.
"When my deity and several great gods of Kyushu shattered the heavenly realm, I, like Bo Shun Shiva and others, took one of the days, which was called Mori Chi Heaven. I have some time to live, and I will help you control the day. After taking charge of the heavens, you will always walk before the day, and the sun will not see the other, but he can see the sun. No one can see, no one can know, no one can harm, no one can deceive, no one can bind, no one can debt his property, no one can punish him, no one is afraid of resentment, and he can get what he wants. ”
After lighting the lamp, regardless of whether Gundy wanted it or not, she threw the world in front of her into her mind.
Mori Zhitian, the Mother of Light, and the Mother of the Buddha of Light, have the power of invisible and free, and can save all living beings from danger.
It seems that before she dies, she should also be passed on to have a magical power that can hide her body and is difficult to see by all gods, Ran Deng thought to himself.
In the palace of the Ganges, the goddess of the Ganges, Ganga, looked at her son who had returned from the snow-capped mountain, and was silent for a long time before she said leisurely: "Kaya, whatever choice you want, I won't stop you." Whether it's following Shiva the Great Heaven on the current path of Dharma rectification, or as your father said, following your 'World-Honored One' and following the path of humane practice. ”
Mahakala shook his head slightly: "I don't know what path to take, my father means to let me see them all before making a decision." ”
"Go, go, as your father once said, you can't achieve enlightenment without seeing or meditating. ”
When the goddess of the Ganges, Ganga, asked Kasya to take a walk around the world, the god of war Gandha, also bid farewell to his mother, the goddess of the Snow Mountain, and wanted to go to other people's homes to find his own way.
At this time, he had already discovered that the Fa-rectification was not what he was looking for, and that in addition to the Fa-rectification, there should be a Fa that belonged to him.
······
In the Great Freedom Heaven, or Shiva Heaven, the three creation gods gathered together and looked at the world, the little Kshatriya prince who had just been born.
Originally, Shiva preferred to stay on the snowy mountains and do penance, but now, there is a burning lamp on the snow that he is not comfortable looking at to dig a cave there, and Shiva God is hindered by the original agreement, and it is not easy to drive him away, so he simply comes to the Great Freedom Heaven to practice.
"Great Heaven, that Venerable Nyolai has entered the world, and the path he has taken is similar to that of Burning Lamp, and he will definitely preach teachings other than the Fa-rectification in the future, what should we do about it?"
Brahma didn't care about preaching, anyway, Vishnu and Shiva rarely took him to play when they were preaching the Dharma. But Vishnu is different, he is the worldly deity, so he is called the worldly deity.
But now those cultivators in Shamen have called the newly born Gautama the World Venerable, which makes him very embarrassed and helpless, his name has been robbed, but he can't beat the other party.
"Let the world decide for itself when it comes to spreading the Fa to the world. ”
Shiva thought about it for a long time, and finally spat out such a sentence, and then closed his eyes and began to meditate again. Compared to the Fa-rectification in the world, he felt that his cultivation was the foundation. Otherwise, don't say that it is like coming, even Bo Xun will not be able to compare. Next door, he turned into the demon lord in the sky, but he was his immortal enemy.
It's a pity that he sees Bo Shun as a great enemy, and Bo Shun, or Malduk, only sees him as a passerby. At this time, Bo Xun, as well as his deity Marduk, were studying how to block the path of the future Shakya.
When Vishnu heard Shiva's words, he was stunned for a moment, although he was not like him, who often descended into incarnations to practice the Dharma, and Shiva was also a protector of the Dharma, why did he suddenly speak in such a soft tone.
After thinking about it for a moment, he was relieved again, what could they do if they were not soft, and now they had to face no longer the gods of the past. For those who are above them, in order to protect the Fa-rectification, they can only use some gentle means.
Thinking of this, Vishnu began to study how to uphold the Dharma in the future, so that even if he was strong, it would not be easy for him to take direct action.

The kingdom of Babylon, at this time, Nebuchadnezzar II, who was the incarnation of Lucifer in the human world, who had coerced the surrounding small countries into submission and directed his troops against Egypt, had died because he could not take Egypt and was wounded in the great battle.
After several generations of kings, the king of Babylon at this time was named Nabonids. This king, who had a strong interest in the study of ancient cultural relics, was at odds with the priestly group of the god Lord Marduk in the country, and was even ready to put aside the belief of the god Lord Marduk and set up a new god in the country.
The new god he set up was a powerful god he had heard from fishermen who had gone out to sea, and it was called Atlantis.
The ocean-style temple of Atlantis, built in the middle of the Babylonian kingdom, is directly opposite the temple of the god Marduk, and is even taller.
Above the void, the god who likes to joke the most and has never been stingy has a slightly ugly face at this time. In normal times, he wouldn't care about this kind of thing. But now is the important thing for the transformation of the Babylonian God Domain, and he can't tolerate an inexplicable sea god to cause trouble.
A colorful light slashed down with the thunder, directly splitting the temple of Atlantis, as if it had never existed.
Then, a vast sea divine power rose from the seas and collided violently with the boundless divine power of the god Lord Marduk, on the edge of the sea of Babylon.
At the border between land and sea, it was as if the end had come, with visions in the sky, earthquakes trembling, and waves in the sea.
Two powerful rulers began a years-long feud. They all had the help of each other's divine power, and before the great changes in the Domain of the Gods, they sharpened their intentions, and they did not use the most drastic means.
As for the king of Babylon, Nabonids, he was forced to go to the oasis of the Arabian desert to raise horses by the priesthood and the ministers. He was also stubborn, still unwilling to serve the god Lord Marduk, of course, for the sake of life, he no longer set up another god, but only focused on worshipping the moon god Xin. His son Belshazzar was co-regent with many priests and ministers, and the whole kingdom of Babylon was in turmoil.
On the other side of the Persian Divine Domain, the incarnation descended by the god Lord Malduk, Cyrus, who was born in the Ahemenid clan, has unified the ten major tribes of the Persian Divine Domain, fixed the capital of Pasepolis, and established the Ahemenid Dynasty.
At this time, the Persian army had already begun to set out towards the Median Empire and rebelled against the brutal rule of the Medes.
The Median Empire, which can be said to be in internal and external difficulties, has a large army of Persians outside, and a rebellion of the Median nobles inside. The Median king Astyages, the grandfather of Cyrus, had already felt that the Median Empire, which had been crisscrossing Babylon and Persia for more than a hundred years, was about to be buried in his hands.
And in the Persian God Domain, an old man in his last years is returning to his homeland surrounded by all disciples.
