Chapter 547: Eighteen Arhats
Leiyin Temple is an important place for Buddhism, it is difficult for outsiders to set foot easily, and only those who are above the Bodhisattva are qualified to bring outsiders into it, and it is obvious that the guide of Ye Xiao and the three of them is Huixin Bodhisattva.
Today's Buddhism has three Buddhas, eight great bodhisattvas, and hundreds of arhats, and its strength is strong enough to deter a world!
The three of them looked at Leiyin Temple closely, just as written in "Journey to the West", "Zhenlou Throne, Shangsha Famous Fang." The valley is full of flowers, and the environment is lonely. The green pine covers the high pavilion with rain, and the green bamboo leaves the cloud to protect the lecture hall. The glow of the ethereal dragon palace is shown, and the color of the sand is long. Zhu Lan jade household, painting carved beams. The conversation is full of incense, and the moon is the window. Inside the bird crying Dan tree, next to the crane drinking stone spring. Surrounded by flowers, the garden is showy, and the door is open on three sides. The building is abrupt and the door is open, and the bell chime is long and the sound is long. The window is open and the wind is fine, and the curtain is full of smoke. There are monks who are indifferent, and there is no vulgarity and prosperity. Hongchen is not in the true fairyland, and the quiet land recruits a good dojo. ”
"Three donors, please come with me. Huixin welcomed the three of them into the Leiyin Temple, in the main hall, Huixin returned to the position, it was hundreds of Arhats lined up on both sides, the Eight Bodhisattvas sat in front, and the person who guarded everyone was not the Buddha, but Ye Xiao's old friend - Buddha Miao Xiaohan.
At this moment, Miao Xiaohan is no longer as simple as Ye Xiao when he first saw him, he is dressed in white, his head is inchless, but he is handsome and extraordinary, and his whole person is shrouded in the holy light of Buddha, making people unable to see his face. He seemed to be smiling, his face was very indifferent, and his eyes flashed with wisdom. His seat is like the Buddha's Ten Pins Lotus Platform! As a Buddha, he enjoys the same treatment as the Buddha.
"The three donors have come from afar to work hard, I don't know why the three of them are here?" Miao Xiaohan is already an adult, but his voice is still a little childish.
Ye Xiao said: "The family teacher was poisoned by the Dragon Emperor, and his whereabouts are unknown, and I came to the demon world to find my family teacher." But I'm not the opponent of the Dragon Emperor, so I'm here to ask for help from Buddhism. ”
"Master Ye, my Buddhism is a place of cultivation and has never interfered in mortal affairs, not to mention that the Dragon Emperor is already the overlord of one side, if my Buddhism is to fight with it, I am afraid that it will be difficult to live in peace, and I hope that the donor Haihan. "The one who spoke was the Bodhisattva of Punishment of Sin, one of the four Bodhisattvas standing to the left of Miao Xiaohan. He had an unsmiling face, and there was no emotional fluctuation in his eyes.
"The Bodhisattva is serious, all I ask for is to save the master, not to ask the Buddha to fight the Dragon Emperor, and all the consequences of this matter will be borne by me. Ye Xiao replied.
"Do you mean to let someone from my Buddhist family hide their identities and be your thugs?" The Punishment Bodhisattva quickly understood what Ye Xiao meant, and he shook his head: "Is it my Buddhism's behavior to hide my head and tail like this?"
Miao Xiaohan turned his head to the person on the other side and asked, "Huixin, what do you think?"
Huixin took a step forward and replied: "Returning to Venerable Jiaye, saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, not to mention that Lord Ye and my Buddhist family are kind, this matter can be discussed in the long run, as Lord Ye said, saving people and being an enemy of the Dragon Emperor are not necessarily the same thing." ”
Only then did Ye Xiao understand that Miao Xiaohan's background was really terrifying, he turned out to be the reincarnation of Venerable Jiaye, a disciple of the Buddha, and a descendant of the ancient Buddha of the Eight Classics, no wonder he had such a high status in the Buddhist family. The eight bodhisattvas were indeed divided into two factions, with the four people led by Huixin supporting him and helping him, while the other four bodhisattvas obviously did not agree.
"Master Ye Shi, where is your master now? How can you save it? How can you ensure that my Buddhism will not be hated by the Dragon Emperor?" This time it was the Sanyuan Bodhisattva who had met Ye Xiao and the others before, and it was he who gave the Buddha's meeting gift to the second daughter.
Ye Xiao took out a map of the Demon Realm and pointed his finger at a location on the map. "My master, he should be trapped here. ”
Everyone looked fixedly, but they were collectively shocked, "Trapped in the gods!"
"Master Ye, if it is so dangerous, I'm afraid my Buddhist family won't be able to help much, if your master falls into the mud of falling gods, you need to use two treasures to save him. One is 'unstained lotus', and the other is 'unstained water'. The unstained lotus allows you to walk freely in the trapped gods, and the unstained water can neutralize the fallen god mud, so that your master can be rescued from the mire. The Bodhisattva of the Three Elements said truthfully.
Ye Xiao nodded gratefully, but the problem was that the enemy would let him rescue people so easily? The armed support of the Buddha Sect is still an indispensable condition.
"I'll find a way to unstain the lotus and the unstained water, but I'm afraid the Dragon Emperor's people won't let me take people away. In this matter, I hope that the Buddhists can make it convenient. Ye Xiao said again.
"Speaking of which, my Buddhist family will still clash head-on with the Dragon Emperor. If it causes a fight between the two major forces, the demon world may encounter great difficulties. We can't take the lives of Buddhist disciples to save your master. The Bodhisattva of Sin and Punishment said without relenting.
At this time, Miao Xiaohan, who had not expressed his opinion, spoke, "I understand all your thoughts. Logically speaking, the disadvantages of helping Ye Shizhu far outweigh the benefits. In terms of affection, if I don't help Lord Ye, how can I repay Lord Ye for resolving the long-cherished grievances of Buddhism. Punishment, you only see that we have one more enemy, but you do not see that we also have one more friend. What if the significance of Lord Ye and the White Deer Academy behind Lord Ye is greater than that of the Dragon Emperor?"
Ye Xiao didn't expect Miao Xiaohan to be false, and directly talked about the pros and cons. These bodhisattvas obviously knew Miao Xiaohan's character very well, and they weren't surprised.
"Does Venerable mean that the benefits of friendship with Lord Ye and the White Deer Academy are far greater than the benefits of offending the Dragon Emperor?"
At this moment, the land of Buddhism is also talking about the issue of interests like a vegetable market, and Miao Xiaohan can be sealed as a real Buddha if he becomes a Buddha. But it's easy to talk with the skylight open, and there aren't so many twists and turns.
"Master Ye Shi doesn't need to laugh, you are a Confucian person, you should know the truth that 'the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit'. People in the world seek the Buddha for the sake of being able to attain bliss, which is also for their own interests, but only for the interests of the afterlife. If you want to convince the Guilty Bodhisattva, you just need to prove that you are worth it and we offend the Dragon Emperor for you!" Miao Xiaohan said bluntly.
"I'm afraid that the Bodhisattva of Punishment has lived in Buddhism for a long time and doesn't know that the most important hero in reopening the gate of heaven is Lord Ye, and helping Lord Ye is a kind of foresight. At the beginning, my Buddhism offended the world because of some misunderstandings, and only then did it happen, and I'm afraid that everyone here doesn't want to see it again. This time it was said by the Bodhisattva of Wisdom.
The Punishment Bodhisattva and the Three-Element Bodhisattva looked at each other, and they were both a little shaken, but they were also thinking about the Buddhists, and then asked, "How is Lord Ye's talent compared to the original Sword God Chenhuan?"
"Especially on it. Huixin said firmly, although he didn't dare to guarantee 100%, it was very likely that the Ye Xiao mentioned on the Immortal King Tablet was the Ye Xiao in front of him.
"In this way, we don't need to say much, if Lord Ye can pass the test of the Eighteen Arhats with the realm of true immortals, I and the others will agree to this matter. The Bodhisattva retreated.
Ye Xiao suddenly had a strange feeling, the dispute between the two factions of the Buddhist family seemed to be an illusion, and it seemed that testing his strength was their goal, but at this moment he couldn't refuse. As long as you can win the Buddhists, there is no reason to shirk it.
"Sanyuan, is this Ye Xiao really the immortal king mentioned on the immortal king tablet?"
"Most likely, if he can pass the test of the Eighteen Arhats, it will be a certainty. I'm curious about what kind of ability this Ye Xiao has to make Huixin so partial, the so-called seeing is believing, I also want to see his ability. The Bodhisattva of the Three Elements said truthfully.
"What if he loses?" asked the punishment again.
"Punishment, I'm afraid you don't know that His Holiness knew Ye Xiao long before he returned to Buddhism, how could he not help him? It's just that now His Holiness's status is different, if he is too eager, it will make people look down on my Buddhism. Sanyuan explained.
At this moment, the punishment suddenly realized, it turned out that everyone except him was in a gang, and they were all acting for Ye Xiao to see, Buddhism was naturally willing to help Ye Xiao, but he couldn't be too active. needs to wait for Ye Xiao to beg, and even pass the test, so that the Buddhism can 'reluctantly' agree. I, a demon realm overlord-level force, is too attentive, like something.
"Where are the eighteen arhats?" Miao Xiaohan said to the arhats below.
"Disciple is here!" Eighteen Arhats, dressed in different costumes, stepped out of their seats, and everyone stepped back, leaving the stage for today's protagonist.
Buddhism has three kinds of fruits: Arhat, Bodhisattva, and Buddha. The Dharma names of the eighteen Arhats in the Arhat Fruit Position are fixed, and although these eighteen Arhats may be changing, the Dharma names will never change. And the eighteen arhats are also selected from many arhats.
These eighteen arhats are the arhats who sit on the deer and sit calmly, the joyful arhats who raise their hands to celebrate and their hearts bloom, the arhats who hold high the iron bowl and give blessings to the world, the tota arhats who have seven stories of pagodas and the Dharma are psychic, the meditating arhats who cultivate their minds and enter the bliss of others, and the arhats who carry the scriptures and wade through mountains and rivers across the river Arhats, riding elephants and riding elephants, looking at all directions, burly and sturdy laughing lion Arhats, happy to see the Buddha, Buddha's infinite power of happy happy Arhats, yawning and stretching their waists, sensible probing Arhats, showing round eyes, contemplative Arhats, leisurely and pleasant, ear-digging Arhats, Qiankun treasure bags, endless cloth bags Arhats, leisurely and secluded, fairy wind bones, long eyebrows and kind eyes, long eyebrows and good eyes, through the thousands of Arhats, Zen staff in hand, The Arhat of the Gatekeeper of the Brave and Blazing Demons, the Arhat of the Dragon Descending and the Demon of Descending the Dragon, the Venerable of the Mighty Dragon, Legend of the Venerable Kasya, who once held this position, and the Tiger Arhat who fed the tiger and spread the Dharma, the Venerable Maitreya was said to have occupied this position.
The eighteen Arhats have different forms and magical powers, each of them is not a master that ordinary true immortals can deal with, and among them, the Dragon Descending Arhat and the Fuhu Arhat gave Ye Xiao a lot of pressure before the fight. To fight the eighteen arhats alone with his own strength This is a test that Ye Xiao has never encountered, in addition to not worrying about his own life, the difficulty of this test is still above the four true immortal clones who dealt with the four gods of the sun, moon, wind and rain before, but today's Ye Xiao is not comparable to the past!
