The ancient temple in the deep mountains, the Zen temple is deep, the bell reverberates six times, but it is noon one day, in the treasure hall, a group of great monks gather together, the person who is the head is the empty Zen master, and the four major monks are lined up left and right.

"In the past few days, there have been a few more Xuantian Taoist temples spontaneously built by the people in Luoyang City, and the temples around the city, even the most pious men and women in the past, and even the laymen who practiced at home are now no longer incense."

"Even many of the monks in the temple have been shaken and no longer hold the Dharma, but instead worship the Xuantian God."

"In addition, it is said that Taoism such as the Northern and Southern Heavenly Master Dao and the Zhongnan Mountain Tower Guan Dao, which are not hidden, have already sent people to Xiyuan to visit the true immortal who preached."

"Guys, big changes are coming, and we should have planned for it a long time ago."

The empty Zen master, who has broken the closed-mouth meditation for many years, carefully talked about the changes in Luoyang City in the past few days, and the gods and monks frowned.

Although after that day, the master of the empty Zen said that he wanted to change the heavens, but the change was so great that it was simply beyond their imagination, and if this situation continued, if it should not change from time to time, I am afraid that the entire old Buddhist system would have to disintegrate.

The Northern and Southern Dynasties and even the Sui Dynasty were the strongest period of Buddhism, and then reached the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, no matter how prosperous they were, when it came to the power and strength of Buddhism, they lived up to the prosperity at this time.

Buddhism in this period, there was land and land, the congregation did not need to pay taxes, and countless people threw their apprentices into temple property, and the monks did not produce, and ate for nothing, just concentrating on martial arts.

It is said that the Shaolin Temple stick monk, the Shaolin Temple in this period is not yet famous, which of the other temples is not a group of warrior monks.

One temple after another, like a small separatist force within the country. And there are many temples and believers. For the state. When it is really a country, the Northern Zhou Dynasty once initiated the destruction of the Buddha in view of the fact that Buddhism is too strong, but the emperor who initiated the destruction of the Buddha is not in vain.

This is the case in the Northern Dynasties, but what about the Southern Dynasties? The Southern Dynasty came out with all his efforts to promote Buddhism, and Xiao Yan, the "Wheel Saint King" who died of starvation in the end, was in a state of great prosperity.

Du Mu has poetry clouds, 480 temples in the Southern Dynasty. In the smoke and rain of many buildings, it is the Southern Dynasty.

It's just that at this time, everything has changed since the arrival of the true immortal some time ago.

All religious boasting is not to boast about itself, but to publicize the gods and Buddhas behind me, how to believe in my Buddhas, or what blessings there will be in the next life.

It's just how the gods and Buddhas are, and what the future is. Who can see it? However, this is the case, virtual products plus a combination of interests and religious brainwashing. Buddhism is still growing to such an extent.

No matter how much you brag about it, there is always no true God or Buddha behind it.

And what happens after the true gods and true immortals who really have great power come into the world? At this time, whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, all the preaching in the past is obviously attributed to the true immortals, and they are married.

This true immortal is not ordinary, preaching and preaching as a true immortal, its credibility is ten million times stronger than empty words, and then looking at the doctrine it preaches, it is the unity of all gods and the supreme one.

This seems to be all-encompassing, and the sea is inclusive, and all religions must be brought under the command, and with the power of true immortals, what the doctrine says is very likely to be true.

And its method of saving people, the wisdom of the practice of the superior practice, encompasses the transcendent true meaning of each religion, and clearly points out that the Tao Buddha can fly to the immortal realm, and for the middle and lower people, there is a convenient door, and the breadth of sentient beings suffers.

This is also all-encompassing, truly universal sentient beings.

Under such circumstances, is there any church in the world that can withstand such changes?

Many masters, if there is a way to become an immortal and a Buddha above the martial arts, they will rush to it, and ordinary people, even if they do not have martial arts, can also get a promise of eternal life for those who believe in me.

Not to mention outsiders, at this time, Pure Meditation Zen Buddhism and many people in Buddhism are already excited, otherwise, how can there be a Buddha to worship Xuantian?

It is said that the Buddha cultivates the Buddha, but which sect has sent the true Buddha?

They all say the next life, but who in this life can prove that they are in the previous life?

Ordinary believers are convinced, but the disciples of Buddhism themselves have to doubt their own path when they see the true immortals, they are well aware of their predecessors, but none of them have become Buddhas in the broken void.

Even if it is Cihang Jingzhai's Cihang Sword Codex, it will eventually stop at the dead end.

Believers converted, and Buddhist disciples were suspicious and changed to worship Xuantian, but at this time, it was really the autumn of the survival of Buddhism and related forces.

"How does the Master of Emptiness think we should deal with the changes in time?" The Zen Taoist Master pondered a little and asked the Zen Master of the Void.

"How to deal with it?" Likong shook his head: "The general trend of Huanghuang, how can you go against the current, do the act of using the mantis arm as a car, and close your mouth for many years, just to achieve positive results." ”

"After today, I went to ask the true immortal about the true way of Buddhism, that day I heard him preach the "Xuantian Flying Ascension Sutra", and he said the true meaning of the cultivation of all the ways, he obviously overlooked the realms of all the ways, and he deserved to be a true immortal."

"In the coming day, the Xiandu people will be elected, and the poor monks should also give it a try."

Emperor Huayan Sect Master Xin clasped his hands together and bowed his head slightly: "If you can get the Buddha, what if you go to see that true immortal?" It's just that if you are pure in Zen Buddhism, what will be the future of my Huayan Sect? ”

"You and I are human beings, but we are not human beings."

"The decision of one person is the future fate of thousands of disciples and believers of the sect, and we should be cautious."

Several other holy monks nodded their heads again and again, as the heads of the major sects of Buddhism, their words and deeds were really not a personal matter.

"Emperor Xin, you are in love, my Dharma name is empty, but the four are empty, but it is difficult to be empty!" Master Empty laughed to himself, "But this is also an opportunity. ”

"The avenue of the Xuantian God also needs people to spread the wide."

"God is the sun that pervades billions of sentient beings, but it is too far away from all sentient beings to take care of all sentient beings in detail, but it also requires preachers such as true immortals, and true immortals are only preaching, and this heaven and earth still need to establish a church, and it needs to spread the light of God's brilliance."

"I purify the disciples of Zen Buddhism, and all of them can be the light of God."

"When they are gone, there is a way out for their future, but they have to wait for their way out. All the causes and effects in this world have nothing to do with me. But all the obstacles in my heart are gone. I will only go to the Buddha with one heart. ”

With a blank look, the four holy monks thought together.

"Let's go meet that true immortal first!" The wisdom master of the Tiantai Sect thought for a moment and spoke.

"Hahaha! You still can't put it down! The empty Da Lu laughed, and said nothing else, only stood up: "After the empty space, I will go, will you go with you?" ”

Several other holy monks can be above the master of a sect. Buddhism and martial arts are brilliant, but wisdom is not bad, otherwise how can you lead the group, empty words, every sentence is reasonable, both yourself and the sect, how not to go.

Even the Buddha is just the achievers under the Xuantian God, these people who believe in Buddha and seek Buddha. changed the door of the Xuantian God, but there was no psychological barrier.

Luoyang City West Waiguo. During the period when Yang Guang was still in Luoyang, he relied on the natural environment to set up a West Garden within a radius of hundreds of miles, prohibiting any ordinary people from entering it, only for the royal palace, which had the functions of playing and hunting.

Now the people are dissatisfied, the world is in chaos, and the entire northern Guanlong aristocracy is eyeing each other, which is no longer a good place.

The place where Luoyang is located, north of Dou Jiande, east of Wagangzhai, west of Li Valve, south of Jianghuai Army, the whole place of four wars, when it is peaceful, it can be the capital, the world is in trouble, it is simply a place to sit and die.

Yang Guang also led the army to destroy Chen in the early years, attacked the Turks in the north, and broke the Tuyuhun in a big way, but the military strategy was not bad, and he understood this reason, so he ignored the opposition of the courtiers and moved south to the Jiangdu, and this morning has gone down the canal.

In the former Eastern Capital, many palaces were also empty.

Now that the Wagang army is entrenched in Rongyang, the momentum is great, and it is about to launch an offensive against Luoyang, the atmosphere in Luoyang is extremely tense, the military strength is limited, and the Xiyuan outside the outer Guo can not take care of guarding and patrolling.

After Wang Li arrived in Luoyang, he did not live in the city, but directly took a palace in the West Garden, thinking that he was the place to live in Luoyang.

At this time, this formation was in full swing, and the entire palace was shrouded in it for several miles.

But outside the current situation, there are a group of princes, ministers, Taoist priests and martial arts people who are worried.

Since the true immortals of Zhilu Dao lived here in Luoyang, preparing to prepare for the immortal selection conference to be held in the near future, all those who had plans and hopes in their hearts came to this palace.

It's a pity that no matter how high the martial arts of the person who comes, how mysterious the realm is, they are all stopped by a forest outside the palace and are unable to enter, and often once they enter it, they will lose their way and turn back to the outside of the forest after turning around.

For these two days, no one was allowed to enter here.

At this moment, the hazy feeling in the forest disappeared, and everyone vaguely saw that someone came out of it, but it was two heroic teenagers.

This movement immediately attracted everyone's attention, such as who doesn't know that there are two teenagers with shit luck around the true immortal? Can you get a true immortal to be accepted as a registered disciple?

In the middle of the forest, two teenagers were working together to lift a huge stone out of it, which looked extremely heavy, and the two of them were extremely difficult to lift.

"Boom!" Lifting the stone to a designated position outside the formation, Kou Zhong wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Two little immortals, we want to see the true immortals, I wonder if you can pass on the word for us?" Wang Shichong saw the two of them come out, and hurriedly asked them, and other Taoist masters and other masters of various sects also surrounded them.

Seeing that everyone was around, Kou Zhong was not stage frightened at all, and following Wang Li, he was used to seeing the world, especially the Fa lecture that day, for them, it was not just an eye-opener?

Now, they are no longer the gangsters who just came out of Yangzhou City.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the master said that he already knows the purpose of your coming." Kou Zhong nodded and replied to everyone: "Among them, those who want to apprentice can leave directly now, and after waiting for five days, the master will arrange the formation and directly participate in the immortal selection conference." ”

"If you can pass the immortal selection conference, no matter who you are, you can directly worship the immortal gate where the master is located, and you don't need to worship him as a teacher."

"In addition, all the Taoist leaders should come here to preach and propagate the Dharma, and wait here first, and when the time comes, the master will meet you."

"As for the general?" Kou Zhong's gaze fell on Wang Shichong: "Gongzi has a saying, when today's son is immoral, there are great sins with him, the world's artifacts are destroyed, and there are people who are interested in competing for it." ”

"However, those who do not have the mandate of heaven, even if they can be divided for a while, if they do the thing of mantis arms as a chariot before the general trend, they will be buried in four or five places, and this destiny is the order of the Xuantian God, not what he can decide."

"Therefore, put down the projection of the humane sword Xuanyuan sword here, insert it in the stone, if there is a heart for the Son of Heaven in the world, and someone who is capable of being the Son of Heaven, he can come and draw the sword, and whoever can pull this sword out of the stone is the human emperor who has been recognized by the Heavenly Emperor of the Upper Realm."

"This general, if you have the heart of the emperor, you might as well draw this sword and give it a try."

After that, Kou Zhong pointed to the big stone next to him, and everyone looked towards the stone, only to notice that there was a golden sword on the stone, with the sun, moon and stars, mountains and rivers, flowers, birds, fish and insects, and there were countless dense words on the back, I don't know what to write.

The golden sword was a finger at Kou Zhong, and it suddenly shone brightly, and in an instant, the sword intent that soared into the sky rose up, and there was endless grandeur. (To be continued......)
