Chapter 69: On the Word

"Stone monkeys?"

"Isn't that my monkey brother?"

Li Mu didn't expect that this job could also obtain one of the four spirit monkeys, the Lingming Stone Monkey.

The Lingming Stone Monkey was actually not left by the Heaven Replenishing Stone refined by Nuwa, but was the descendant of the Innate God and Demon Chaos Demon Monkey.

The Chaos Demon Monkey has a total of four descendants, namely the Lingming Stone Monkey, the Red Nine Horse Monkey, the Six-eared Macaque, and the Gibbon Monkey.

Lingming stone monkey, through change, know the sky, know the location, move the stars and change the fight.

Red nine horse monkeys, know yin and yang, know personnel, be good at entering and exiting, avoid death and prolong life.

The six-eared macaque is good at listening, can perceive, know before and after, and everything is clear.

Gibbons, take the sun and the moon, shrink thousands of mountains, argue and correct, and make a lot of things.

And the Lingming Stone Monkey is also a famous and well-known Monkey King in later generations.

It is also an important chess piece in the layout of Buddhism during the Journey to the West.

It just so happens that he has now collected the thirty-six methods of Tiangang, and the seventy-two changes of the earth's evil.

There is also the Dinghaishen Needle.

It's simply specially prepared for stone monkeys.

In particular, the seventy-two changes of the earth evil, the Lingming stone monkey is good at the way of change, which is a perfect fit.

However, Li Mu also had a trace of worry in his heart, this system reward is so tempting, this work must be very difficult.

"Donor, donor?"

King Jizo's voice pulled Li Mu's thoughts back to reality.

"I'm sorry, but I still remember this rolling red dust, and I don't want to escape into the empty door."

Li Mu rejected Jizang, and at the same time thought in his heart how to fool this bald donkey to the underworld.

"It's okay, the little monk will always follow the donor to help the donor have an epiphany as soon as possible."

After listening to what Jizang said, Li Mu scolded angrily in his heart, this bald donkey is worthy of being taught by Zhun Ti, and he is the same shameless.

If you don't join Buddhism, it's okay, I follow you every day, recite scriptures in your ear every day, and I don't believe it.

Li Mu took a deep breath, stared at Jizo and said, "Since that's the case, then let's discuss it with the master today." ”

When Jizo heard this, his eyes lit up.

I was secretly proud in my heart.

On the Tao? I haven't been afraid of anyone yet!

Although it was not his original intention to come here to let Li Mu join Buddhism, it was the entrustment of the two Buddhas.

Li Mu didn't know that in fact, when he first stepped into the West, Zhun Ti had already noticed him.

And the appearance of the King of Jizo here was not a chance encounter, but the meaning of Zhun Ti, so that the King of Jizo recruited Li Mu into Buddhism.

If he refuses, reason with him until he joins Buddhism.

Although tens of thousands of years have passed since Hongjun's preaching, Li Mu's appearance has not forgotten it.

This person who can guide Dao Ancestor Hongjun, if Li Mu is recruited to Buddhism, it will be another powerful force for Buddhism.

"Amitabha, donor, please."

King Jizo folded his hands and recited a Buddha name, and then stretched out his hand to signal General Li Mu.

Li Mu was not polite, sat cross-legged on the ground, and asked with a focused gaze.

"Dare to ask the master, but for the Buddha?"

Without even thinking about it, Jizo replied, "Enlightened one, blessed and wise two-legged respect, with sufficient self-realization, aware of him, realizing the perfection of his actions, and seeing all the Dharma truthfully, is the highest fruit of Buddhist practice." ”

After Jizo finished speaking, the light of the Buddha behind him rose sharply, shining on the heavens and the earth.

Behind him appeared a huge statue of the Buddha.

If ordinary people see it, they will immediately have the idea of joining Buddhism.

Jizo looked at Li Mu with a confident face, but he didn't expect Li Mu to raise his eyelids, and he didn't say anything sad or happy.

"Speak human words!"

"Forehead ......"

Jizo's originally confident expression immediately seemed to be stuck in his throat, and he said after a moment.

"To put it simply, a person who thoroughly understands the life of the universe, and a person who is truly fully enlightened is a Buddha."

"What does it mean to be fully enlightened?"

Call!

Jizo's chest heaved heavily.

"The perfection of the three of self-realization, self-awareness, and enlightenment is called complete enlightenment."

"The Tao I practice is different from the original meaning of Buddhism, there is a saying that if the Tao is different, I can't join Buddhism."

Li Mu said lightly.

"Buddhism really means to purify all sentient beings, and I am willing to purify the donor."

Jizo folded his hands and bowed lightly to Li Mu, showing his feelings.

Hehe!

Li Mu shook his head with a smile.

Jizo didn't understand why Li Mu was laughing, so he asked.

"Why is the donor laughing?"

Li Mu said lightly: "I laugh at you, you don't even know what a real Buddha is, so you want me to join Buddhism, and you also want to purify all sentient beings and purify me." ”

Jizo frowned and asked.

"Then may I ask the donor, what is a Buddha?"

Li Mu smiled and raised his head.

As Li Mu raised his head, a bad premonition rose in Jizo's heart.

"In my opinion, those who realize that they are only saints, not Buddhas, just like the two who lead Zhun Ti, in my heart they are all saints, not real Buddhas."

Jizo's face showed a hint of warm anger, but he suppressed his heart and taught the person in front of him a lesson.

To say in front of yourself that your master is not a Buddha is simply a great rebellion.

But the good cultivation still made Jizo resist the urge to make a move and continue to ask.

"Then how can you be called a Buddha?"

Li Mu went on to say, "Pudu sentient beings can be Buddhas. ”

After hearing this, Jizo was completely furious, "This benefactor, the poor monk respects you and discusses the Dharma with you, why are you playing with me so much?" ”

"How can you benefit all sentient beings if you don't become a Buddha?"

Looking at Jizo with an angry face, Li Mu calmly explained.

"Everyone can benefit sentient beings, saints can too, and I can too, but this is not a real Buddha, and countless living beings in the Three Realms are living in suffering."

"Dare to ask the master, has he all the creatures who have experienced suffering?"

Jizo didn't know why Li Mu asked this, but he still answered honestly.

"There are so many beings in the Three Realms, how can it be possible."

"Since you haven't completed the degree, what qualifications can you call it a Buddha, didn't you say that you want to purify all sentient beings, didn't you say that a Buddha is the highest attainment of a person who cultivates Buddha?"

"Since all sentient beings are still suffering, neither you nor Zunti are worthy of being called Buddhas."

Bang!

Jizo's heart was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and Li Mu's words exploded in Jizo's heart like thunder.

Jizo didn't know how to answer for a while, and wanted to refute, but he agreed with Li Mu's words in his heart.

Li Mu saw Jizo's expression of suffering from gains and losses, and didn't give Jizo a chance to breathe, and then flickered.

"In the underworld, countless unjust souls are plagued by resentment and cannot be reincarnated, and there are even Styx ancestors who forcibly refine resentful spirits into Asura people, why don't you call yourself a Buddha and transform them."

"Could it be that Pudu sentient beings are just a slogan that does not take practical actions, and Western Buddhism is a group of liars who only fool people by just saying and not doing, deceiving the sentient beings of the Three Realms and deceiving yourself!"

Li Mu's words were like a sharp knife stabbing at Jizang, every time Li Mu asked, his voice became heavier, and the phantom of the Buddha behind Jizang dimmed a point.

After Li Mu finished asking, the phantom of the Buddha behind the earth actually became flickering and dimming, as if it was about to dissipate.

Jizo Buddha was in turmoil.
