Chapter 992: Heirloom Monks, Nine Heavens Discuss the Dao
Ling Yu looked at the thousands of Tianxuanmen disciples in front of him, his left hand gently stroking his earlobe, and kept thinking about his next plan. This time, Shangguan Hongzhi and his son led thousands of people to Xuanmiao Nunnery, and they should have come out of the nest. In this case, if Ling Yu wanted to openly kill the crowd, it was unrealistic to unexpectedly rescue the only surviving Chunlan. At this time, Chunlan really wanted to commit suicide and use her life to reverse the passive situation of Xuanmiaoan. After Xia Zhu's death, the blood monk sealed all her acupuncture points for the first time, not only making her body unable to move, but also unable to move her eyes. Therefore, she could only look at Yan Suyi stupidly, with a sad look in her eyes. And Ling Yu, if he wants to rescue Chunlan, then he can only mix into the forces of Tianxuanmen and gradually get closer to Chunlan. Although the cultivation of the Blood Monk and the others was much higher than him, Ling Yu had the Wisdom Fist Seal to rely on, and he could also fight with all his might.
Thinking of this, Ling Yu glanced at An Luoyan. Then, he tiptoed towards the disciples of Tianxuanmen. Ling Yu's steps were very light, and he had even suppressed his divine sense to the lowest level, so as not to be detected by the disciples of the Tianxuanmen. Ling Yu slowly approached as he took out a celestial crystal from his arms. In front of him, there happened to be a disciple of the Tianxuanmen at the back of the crowd, and there were no other fellow disciples around him. When Ling Yu came behind this person, he covered his mouth and nose like a tanuki. Almost at the same time, Ling Yu shook the Celestial Crystal in his right hand in front of his disciple's eyes.
The reason why Ling Yu used the Celestial Crystal Stone to bewitch the other party was because he was worried that the other party would struggle violently after realizing the danger. This disciple was only three feet away from the other Heavenly Xuanmen cultivators, and as long as this disciple made the slightest movement, he would be noticed by others. And Ling Yu, who has an extremely transparent view of human nature, knows one thing even more, that is, the disciples of Tianxuanmen are in the same vein as Shangguan Hongzhi, and Ling Yu does not believe that Tianjing cannot tempt Shangguan Hongzhi's disciples. And when Ling Yu took out the Celestial Crystal Stone, a look of greed really appeared in the disciple's eyes. He turned his head to look at Ling Yu and nodded obediently.
Seeing that disciple's eyes, Ling Yu knew that the other party would no longer struggle. Then, Ling Yu shook the Celestial Crystal in his hand at him, and then raised his head and gently gestured into the distance. After receiving Ling Yu's instructions, that disciple stepped back as expected, following Ling Yu into the distance.
After Ling Yu took that disciple to a blind spot of the Tianxuanmen disciple's vision, he handed over the Tianjing Stone in his hand to the disciple's hand. Then, Ling Yu crouched in the other party's ear and said softly: "Brother, I will give you the Tianjing Stone, in fact, there is only one condition, and that is to borrow your clothes for use!"
When he heard Ling Yu's words, a trace of doubt appeared on the disciple's face. He was only the lowest-ranking disciple in the Tianxuan Sect, and the other party's price of such a large Tianjing stone was just to exchange it for his own clothes, and just as the disciple lost his mind, Ling Yu's left hand on the disciple's shoulder suddenly squeezed the opponent's neck. With Ling Yu's movements, the disciple felt that his eyes were dark, and he lost consciousness in an instant. There is a place in the neck where blood flows, and a sudden blow can cause cardiac arrest. Therefore, Ling Yu took advantage of this to subdue the cultivator and implement the plan.
About a cup of tea passed, Ling Yu once again appeared in An Luoyan's field of vision. At this time, Ling Yu had already changed into the clothes of a disciple of the Tianxuanmen, and An Luoyan also nodded lightly at Ling Yu. Signaling to Ling Yu that everything was going well on his side as well. It turned out that when Ling Yu used the Heavenly Crystal Stone to bewitch the disciples of the Tianxuanmen, An Luoyan also used the secret technique of the Psychic Pavilion to inform Jiang Rong and Ji Luosheng, telling them that he and Ling Yu had come behind the disciples of the Tianxuanmen. And An Luoyan informed the two of them about Ling Yu's plan, hoping that they would be able to help Ling Yu in front and save Chunlan at that time.
After receiving An Luoyan's reply, Ling Yu motioned for the other party to wait here, while he quietly came to the vicinity of the Tianxuanmen disciple and blended into the crowd. Ling Yu knew that there were thousands of disciples in the Tianxuan Sect, and among these disciples, they would definitely not know each other. Therefore, even if Ling Yu was a raw face, they would definitely not notice it. When Ling Yu blended into the crowd, he rubbed forward with a needle, and every few steps, Ling Yu would stop and take a look at the movements of the cultivators around him and the distance between him and Shangguan Hongzhi and his son. If he moves too fast, he can be easily exposed.
And when Ling Yu implemented the plan, the guardians of the Western Desert, Yan Bei and the Brahma Monarch, had already come to the vast yellow sand of the Western Desert. The two of them rode the lotus platform and had a full view of all the actions of the people in the Western Desert. At first, the Brahma monarch did not find anything. But as they traveled along, the Brahma monarch gradually noticed something unusual. Because on the land of the Western Desert, there seemed to be a faint mist floating in the void. This layer of mist is not a real mist, but a killing cloud that contains the rhyme of the Tao in the eyes. In this layer of mist, the Brahma monarch felt the breath of calamity.
"This is ......" Seeing Yanbei just going west, he didn't plan to speak. Therefore, when they drifted for about three hundred miles with the help of the lotus platform, the Brahma monarch finally couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart and asked Yan Bei. Although the two were hostile forces, the Brahma monarch was not murderous.
"This is the evil deeds of your Twelve Sovereigns of the Flood and Desolation, do you see it? This layer of clouds and mist is not really fog, because the temperature in the Western Desert is extremely high, and there is no autumn or winter in the four seasons, so there will be no clouds and mist at all. And these things that seem to be like fog are actually the bane laid by the Plague Monarch. He used his cultivation to lay butcher knives on innocent people, causing the Chinese people to be tormented by the plague day and night, and they were in pain. I don't object to you for the sake of chance, you say that the change of dynasty and the change of world are understandable, but do you think there is really no problem with committing atrocities against defenseless people?"
After Yan Bei finished speaking, he poked out his finger and pointed to the courtyard of a common people's house, he looked at the four-year-old child who fell in his mother's arms in the courtyard, dying, and continued to the Brahma monarch: "That child is only four years old, and his life wheel shows that he should have more than seventy years to live, but he has no skills to return to heaven and will not live for more than three hours. Do you still think that what you are doing is just to conform to the will of Heaven? Look at it again, it is a 30-year-old Chinese man, he is a son, a father, and a husband, he has 60-year-old parents and a 6-year-old daughter, he just wants to take care of his family, he just wants the family to be harmonious and beautiful, and he is happy, is he wrong? But look at what he has experienced? He is seriously ill, he is plagued by plague, and his life is short. Is he going to die? Is this what you call walking with the sky?"
Yan Bei paused, a trace of sadness crossed his eyes, and continued: "What you see now is only the misery of a corner of China, in the entire Huaxia continent, there are countless people who are suffering from the epidemic, some are more difficult than them, and there are those who are more miserable than them. Great monarchs, they are not Buddhist cultivators, they can treat human life as if they were a mustard, but you are a holy monk of Buddhism! Do you also look at the poisoned world without a trace of compassion? You have obtained the godhead of Brahma, why is the Buddha nature inferior to that of an ordinary person? Is it true that you can have no scruples for the sake of your so-called chance?"
"He is him, I am me, I have nothing to do with the Plague Monarch, what he did was just obeying the dispatch of the Great Monarch, and it has nothing to do with me. I also deeply regret the calamities suffered by the Chinese people, but everything is determined by cause and effect, and it is not for you and me to change. The Brahma monarch shook his head and sighed.
"Amitabha, I thought that you Brahma monarch still had a trace of Buddha nature, but now it seems that I am thinking too much. You have the three poisons of greed, hatred, and ignorance, and you are already terminally ill, and there is no cure. If a bodhisattva wants to attain a pure land, he should purify his mind. If the mind is pure, the Buddha's land will be pure. You...... Alas!" Yan Bei said.
"There is a definite number of life, death, and grievances for living beings in the world, so how do you know that what they have experienced is not the cause of the previous life, so they have obtained the results in this life?
"Hahaha, Brahma Monarch, you are really a strong word! Then let me ask you, in this world, what is good and what is evil? Is the suffering of all beings destined by heaven or deliberately done by the strong? Life is like a leaf, a lifetime falls, a lifetime falls, a lifetime falls, then what are we in the context of dependent origin and extinction? You say reincarnation, okay, then let me ask you again, can the suffering of the people in this world really be compensated for in the next life? The "Diamond Sutra" has clouds, and everything has a way, like a dream bubble, like dew and electricity, and should be viewed as such. How do you know that everything you have experienced in this life is not all appearance, but all of them are vain?" Yan asked with a bitter smile.
"You are wrong, all laws are empty, cause and effect are not empty. Even if the doom and cause and effect that we inherit in this life do not manifest immediately, they will reappear in another day from another perspective. How do you know that the suffering of the people is not fate, and it is a bit of a strong argument to attribute the sins of the world to the plague monarch?" replied the Brahma monarch.
"The wrong person is you, the Water Moon Dojo, the Buddha in the dream. Whether we are born or enter the world today, cultivate the Buddha's heart or cross the red dust, in fact, we all understand this world, but some people cross the world with a mundane heart, and some people uphold the Dharma. Moreover, all the laws in the world are empty, and cause and effect are mixed. Your solitude and the illusory words that excuse the plague monarch are not an excuse for you to help and abet everything as cause and effect, and you really open my eyes! And at this time, you are in a deep situation, and your whole body is full of falsehood, how can you fully understand the true meaning of Buddhism? Moreover, Buddhism karma is about self-suffering and happiness, that is, there is indeed karma for everything they do. But you have to understand one thing, the calamities they have endured in this life are not borne by them on their own initiative, but by the Heavenly Plague Monarch, how can you attribute the actions of the Heavenly Plague Monarch to the category of Heaven's will? Therefore, it is not the Heavenly Dao that disturbs the mortal dust and Huaxia, but you!" Yan Bei clasped his palms together, and the compassion in his eyes illuminated the sky, like an immortal Buddha coming to the world.
"The Buddha has 48,000 methods, corresponding to the 48,000 kinds of afflictions that the people of the world endure, many causes and effects have long been predestined, and the Heavenly Plague Monarch may have been inspired by the Heavenly Dao, although there is a mistake, but there is no blame. "Until this time, the Brahma monarch still believed that he had not deviated from the realm of the true Buddha.
"Amitabha, Brahma Monarch, it's too far-fetched for you to say that. If you continue like this, you will only be able to tend to Hinayana and you will never be able to comprehend the Mahayana realm of Buddhism. Buddhism is real, but in the end it is empty. And you only know the cause and effect in front of you, and the poisoning is deep. You are not attached, but from the very beginning, your path has gone astray. Today I have shown you the suffering of the mortal world, and you think that everything is a definite number of cause and effect, and you are looking for excuses for yourself. When the Great Monarch of the Other Day leads the Twelve Sovereigns of the Flood and Wilderness to plague Kyushu, you can still shirk everything. Since you are so stubborn, there is no need for me to admonish you. You have attained the true Buddhahood, and I hope that in the future, you will be able to examine yourself with a clear mind and have a trace of repentance when you recall what you said today, and I will be satisfied. Don't you want to get the opportunity of my Golden Sky Temple? I can give it to you, but you have to promise me one condition!" Yan Bei said in a deep voice.
Hearing Yan Bei's words, the Brahma monarch's heart moved. In fact, when he and Yan Bei just discussed the Tao, he did understand the profundity of the other party's Buddhism, although he and Yan Bei belonged to different camps, but also had to admit that Yan Bei was a Chinese monk. And at this moment, he heard the words that Yan Bei could offer the opportunity of the Golden Sky Temple. As Yan Bei said, the Brahma monarch did have the three poisons of greed, hatred, and ignorance in his body, so when he heard Yan Bei's words, the Brahma monarch, who had just had an epiphany, once again returned his heart close to Buddha nature to the world. He stared at Yan Bei and asked urgently, "What conditions!"
