Volume 4: The Age of the Lich Chapter 42: The True Background of Journey to the West
The two saints of the West really had one Buddha born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, but they could only seize the time to repair the Elysian Realm now, and they didn't have time to make a fight with Shen Long.
In general, Shen Long has no ill feelings towards Western teaching, and Western Dafa also has its merits, if not, there will be no one-third of the disciples who apostasy in the teachings, for monks, Buddhist monks do have a set of spiritual cultivation, although Taoist monk Dafa is also very strong, but Buddhism is just the identity of "the stone of other mountains can attack jade".
After countless years of oppression, Western religion has not developed, and the mainstream of the flood is led by Taoism, but when Taoist practice has entered a bottleneck, it is precisely the Buddhist practice of cultivating the mind that can help them overcome the bottleneck.
Among the 10,000 cultivators, only one needs to break through the bottleneck to carry forward the Western Dafa, so this has also formed a pattern of great prosperity in the West, and the countless years of hard work of the two Western saints have finally paid off.
For Shen Long himself, he admired the two Buddhas, who started from scratch, guarded a corner of the West alone, and established the vast Elysian realm, regardless of whether their means were bright or not, it was this perseverance that was worthy of the two Hongmeng Purple Qi of the year.
However, even if the two of them established the Elysian realm, but now it is still not enough, they made forty-eight great vows, they need to establish an immeasurable Buddha country, and fabricated countless Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, even if they take away the three thousand disciples of the sect and form three thousand Buddhas, it is not enough, it can be said that they have a long way to go.
However, admiration is admiration, this is a personal feeling, at that time, as the lord of the heavenly court, he didn't want the West to contaminate his heavenly court, it sounds good, this is calculating the luck of the heavenly court, and it is ugly to say, this is stealing the fortune of heaven.
And he has a psychological shadow for this guy Zhun Ti, this guy is not strong, but he is definitely a character. I think it was he who ran to Heaven and released the tenth prince of Emperor Jun, remembering that it was the fuse of the Lich War.
And this time, it was not for the sake of deterrence. After all, Heavenly Court is the main court of heaven and earth, and it needs to have its own majesty, this time with the power of the two saints of the West, at least the great power of the desolation will not underestimate Heavenly Court in the future, and it will also save a lot of trouble, of course, even with it, the power of the upper level is jealous. will warn the disciples of the lower levels, and in this way, the majesty of the heavenly court will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
For ordinary mortals, Heavenly Court was of course the most powerful, and this time it was to deter the monks.
Shen Long looked at the West and taught it a lesson, then looked at the women and said: "This time the West is booming, it is the cause and effect between the West and the Three Qings, and the Heavenly Dao witness represented by Hongjun. Other saints can't be stopped, so this time it can be said that the trend is unstoppable. What I did just now was only to teach them to be unruly, not to stop them from prospering. ”
The women were also clear in their hearts, and Shen Long continued: "However, Buddhism is flourishing, and if so many people don't stop it, they can't get all the benefits, otherwise the heavenly saints won't agree." ”
Xihe's eyes flashed with starlight, and he asked in surprise, "Can we also get benefits?"
"Of course. Shen Long smiled lightly and said: "The West is prosperous, and it needs to go east, no matter how it goes." They all need the consent of the heavenly court, and if we don't give us benefits, aren't we afraid that we will stumble on them? However, if we want to get these benefits, we still need to fight for them ourselves. ”
"How to fight for it?" The women looked at Shen Long suspiciously, their Dao cultivation was not weak, but they couldn't see the form and final effect of the Western Great Prosperity clearly. Now probably only the Western Sect saints, Sanqing and their disciples can know the Dao, Shen Long is an outlier, but who let him have a prophetic sense?
Shen Long slowly explained: "This time, the Western religion is preached in the way of Journey to the West, that is to say, the West will descend the golden cicada, go through ten lifetimes of tribulation, achieve Buddhahood, and attain Bodhi. ”
"Just now I calculated that the Golden Cicada would reincarnate the Heavenly Court Immortal and become the parents of the reincarnation of the Golden Cicada, whether it was intentional or not, when the Golden Cicada became enlightened, he would repay this nurturing grace. That is, when the golden cicada achieves the Bodhi Buddha fruit, our heavenly court will receive twenty merits, which is enough to achieve twenty high-ranking gods. ”
The women nodded, but asked suspiciously, "Just the grace of nurturing can get such great merit?"
"Of course!!" Shen Long replied affirmatively, and his eyes were also solemn: "This time the West is booming, the momentum is magnificent, and the saints are also watching, and they can't stop it, at most, they will take some benefits from the mouth of the West." ”
Su Tianxiang's eyes flashed with wisdom, and she suddenly asked with a smile: "Husband, this is just a small profit for the parents of the golden cicada, right? ”
Shen Long smiled and nodded: "Yes, whether it is to suppress Sun Monkey or become the parents of the Golden Cicada, it is a small profit, except for our Heavenly Court family, the other saints also look down on this benefit, the real benefit is no longer here, but the Journey to the West is calculated in the West." ”
"Ninety-nine-eighty-one difficult?" the women were puzzled, and suddenly Ao Kun exclaimed, "Could it be a man-made catastrophe?"
Shen Long nodded, and said mockingly at the corner of his mouth: "The West is just acting this time, the golden cicada is in the lower realm, and then from the East to the West to worship the Buddha and seek scriptures, Pudu Dashi, but it is just a deliberate fabrication of ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties and a formality." Of course, this is also the wisdom of the West, which is admirable. ”
The women looked at Shen Long suspiciously, and Shen Long explained: "This time, most of the ninety-nine eighty-one tribulations were handed over to the saints by the Western Sect, or the power of the desolation, and every calamity can be immeasurably meritorious. ”
The women pondered, and suddenly in their hearts, although it was clear that it was to block the eastward spread of Buddhism and go against the sky, but this was also for the journey to the west to be carried out smoothly, without these calamities, the journey to the west could not be completed, which was to become a journey to the sky, and this time the great prosperity of the West was unstoppable, and the merit was immeasurable.
Buddhism gives them every calamity, which is to send merit in vain, and it can be regarded as buying a passage guide from them, so that the golden cicada can smoothly survive the calamity, obtain the true scriptures, and purify sentient beings.
At this time, Concubine Luo suddenly asked: "Even if the Western Great Prosperity is very strong, the ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties will not be able to obtain immeasurable merits, husband, is there any truth in this?"
Shen Long looked like a teachable child, and said with a smile: "I finally thought of this, I didn't know the Tao before, but recently on a whim, I got a glimpse of the heavens, so I know these things." ”
Ruyi was suddenly, and then asked eagerly: "What kind of heavenly machine, no wonder the husband is as fast as lightning this time, it turns out that he has already known that the heavenly machine is running, hey, by the way, where did you let the nine brothers go?"
Shen Long recovered indifferently, but he still couldn't hide that pride, he finally knew why the Journey to the West was able to attract the gods and Buddhas of the heavens, and countless powers behind him came to pay attention, it stands to reason that even if Sun Monkey Da Luo Jin Xian and Jin Cicada have attained the Buddha fruit, it is not worthy of the attention of the heavens.
After observing the recent actions of the West, combined with his memories of Journey to the West, as well as the Three Swords of the Western Elysium Realm just now, he finally discovered and confirmed the bold conjecture in his heart, so he supported and looked forward to the completion of Jiulongzi's mission.
Looking at the women's expectant faces, Shen Long waved his sleeves, and the heavenly machine covered it, and then the Lotus World Realm disappeared into the void, Shen Long said to them: "Although the West has chosen the Golden Cicada to travel west this time, this is also a passing scene on the bright side, and the real big head benefit is the ninety-nine-eighty-one world, if it is according to Buddhism, it is the ninety-nine-eighty-one Buddha country." ”
Su Tianxiang's beautiful eyes flashed, and she asked thoughtfully: "Is the West trying to transform the eighty-one Thousand Worlds Realm this time?"
Shen Long nodded and said: "Above the saint is the lord of the world realm, just now I tested it, although the three swords broke through the world of bliss, but did not hurt the origin, but only spied on the world of bliss has developed to the extreme of the small thousand world realm, and is about to break through the middle thousand world realm, they want to normalize the eighty-one world of the world of elysium, join the world of bliss to form the middle thousand world realm, and then lead the Zhun Ti Dao to cultivate further." ”
This is what Shen Long said about the merits that the great powers of the heavens are concerned about, selecting eighty-one thousand worlds from the heavens and ten thousand worlds, and then transporting them between the east and the west, connecting them into a heavenly avenue from the ground to the west heavens.
When the journey to the west is completed, the golden cicada obtains the Buddha fruit, and finally the luck and merit harvested along the way explodes, as well as the addition of the ninety-nine eighty-one thousand worlds of the world, with merit as the fire, and the small thousand worlds as the salary, and re-sacrifice the world of bliss.
Shen Long only guessed that he had the intention of re-refining in the Elysian Realm. Now that the Taoists and Buddhists have been looking for the small Qianshi realm, Shen Long guessed that the West would definitely announce it in the future, and now the next move, when the West announces it, directly place the Shilu realm moved by Jiulongzi in the middle of the road, and the heavenly court will get one-ninth of the benefits, and whoever is not satisfied can be singled out.
When listening to Shen Long's speculation, all the women had to admire, the brains of the two in the West are absolutely very good, and they are worthy of being powerful saints who can open up the Buddha path from the Taoist Qi refining Dafa, and they can be reborn from the Dafa of beheading three corpses, which is not something that ordinary wisdom can match.
When Shen Long deduced this possibility, even he himself was taken aback, these two were really great wise people, and all the women listened to Shen Long see through the calculations of the West, and they got one-ninth of the benefits, and their faces were full of smiles.
"What are we going to do now?"
"Of course, it's to cover up the heavens!!"
