Chapter 128: Changing the Mandate of Heaven
Josey?
Lin Lan looked at the name on the last page of "The Great Ri Rulai Sutra" in a daze.
This "Great Day Nyorai Sutra" comes from the legendary Buddha Shakyamuni, the Buddha who created the central world of Buddhism, so the person who commented on it is also likely to be the Buddha himself.
Could it be ...... Is Josie the common name or pseudonym of the Buddha?
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that in his previous life on earth, there were also rumors about the Buddha.
And Shakyamuni's real name is Siddhartha Gautama!
Joe...... West?
At this moment, Lin Lan felt more and more that this world was a little weird, and there were too many similarities with his previous life.
Daozong's ascension is to go to the legendary heavenly court, the heavenly palace or heavenly court, and the founder of Daozong, Daozu, also created the Tao Te Ching, and there are similar legends on earth.
The three major Buddha kingdoms of Buddhism, the Central Sampa World, the Eastern Pure Glass World, and the Western Elysium, as well as the creator Central Shakyamuni Buddha, the Eastern Medicine Buddha, the Western Amitabha Buddha, and even the Bodhisattva of the Three Buddhas, are all exactly the same as the legends on the earth.
At first, he thought it was just a coincidence of parallel worlds, but now it seems that this may not be the case......
If Josie was the Buddha Shakyamuni, Lin Lan felt that this was very reasonable.
Ever since he stepped into the path of cultivation, the one that has helped him the most is undoubtedly the Heaven Thief method that Josie left in Tengen Beppu, which is incomparably wonderful, far surpassing all the methods he has ever seen.
And according to the message of 'Josie' in Tengen Beppu, this Heaven Thief Method was created by Josie's master.
Naturally, Josie also learned the Heaven Thief method.
That means Josie is a Sky Thief!
In the records of mythological collections, the legendary Shakyamuni Buddha is indeed a miracle that predicts the future, and his predictions are extremely accurate and never wrong.
If there is nothing outside the heavens to change the destiny of heaven, the future that the thieves see can indeed collapse into the only future.
And most importantly β
The last time in the endgame, in the sea of dreams, after the Dream Demon Ancestor sensed Lin Lan's tranquility, he shouted out the name 'Josie' in great fear.
Dream Demon Ancestor is such a high-ranking existence, even the old monk of the Buddha Temple, and the Bodhisattva who transcends the human world are extremely jealous, and their strength is obviously much stronger than ordinary heavenly immortals and bodhisattvas.
But the Dream Demon Ancestor was so afraid of 'Josie', Josie was obviously much stronger than the Dream Demon Ancestor.
And Sikong Wuxin also said a rumor-
Shakyamuni Buddha once entered the Dream Sea with the Dream Demon Ancestor, but even in the Dream Sea, even if the Dream Demon Ancestor, as the darling of the Dream Sea, has a home advantage, the Dream Demon Ancestor can't entangle one of the Buddha's fingers.
The magnitude of the gap is obvious.
Moreover, the spirit of the Chonghua Great Array had also heard of Josie's pseudonym, but he didn't even dare to mention Josie's real name, and said that mentioning it would attract his attention.
With such an incredible ability, I'm afraid that the legendary Supreme of the Three Realms can exist, right?
So......
With so many doubts and speculations all taken together, it's almost certain that-
Josie is the pseudonym of Shakyamuni Buddha.
Josie...... Josie ......"
Lin Lan muttered, feeling a little incredible.
Among the generations of Heaven Thieves, there have been Buddhas and other supreme beings of the Three Realms?
It's just that...... Even Shakyamuni Buddha, who created a great Buddha kingdom, has a master worthy of his respect?
"Shakyamuni's teacher? Could it be the Buddha of the Burning Lamp? β
Lin Lan muttered to himself.
In myths and legends, the teacher of Shakyamuni Buddha is the ancient Buddha who burns lamps.
It's just that...... This method of stealing the heavens is extremely wonderful, and Shakyamuni Buddha also created the method of stealing the heavens, but the method of stealing the heavens created by his teacher is more perfect and wonderful, and it is obvious that the Taoist cultivation is higher than that of Shakyamuni Buddha.
Could it be that the teacher Shakyamuni Buddha said was someone else?
"No...... right"
Lin Lan was suddenly slightly stunned, and a thought flashed in his heart-
The Heaven Thieves are unique, there will only be one Heaven Thief in each era, and only when this generation of Sky Thieves dies, there is a possibility that the next generation will appear, and once they die, they will be expelled from heaven and earth, and there is no chance of reincarnation.
If that's the case......
Now that he's a thief of the sky, can he be ...... Shakyamuni Buddha...... Already dead?
Lin Lan couldn't help but take a deep breath.
There are still many temples dedicated to Shakyamuni Buddha, and there are still countless believers who believe that Shakyamuni Buddha exists in the ancient and modern future, transcending all existences.
Not necessarily, though.
Shakyamuni Buddha, the supreme beings of the Three Realms, have reached an incredible level of supernatural powers, maybe they can get rid of the identity of the Heaven Thief?
"There's no point in thinking so much, it's better to sell this secret to Sikong Wuxin, I don't know how many heavenly merits I can exchange for......"
Lin Lan shook his head secretly, suppressed these floating thoughts in his heart, and continued to instill mana into this Buddha Light Enchantment.
Now it's time for the dust.
After a whileβ
"I see...... Buddha and demon are one? β
A slightly dazed murmur suddenly sounded, and I saw the brilliant golden Buddha light suddenly bloom.
The empty dust below slowly opened his eyes, and at this time he had already turned into a young man, the demonic energy emitted had long since dissipated, and the demonic patterns had completely disappeared, and the white monk was extremely clean, dirtless and dust-free.
"Sure enough, it became a ......," Lin Lan nodded slightly.
He had already seen the future of Kongchen, and naturally guessed that Kongchen would be able to restore the body of the Buddha.
In the future picture, the air dust has become a little larger, apparently caused by the complete awakening of the memories of the previous life, just like the winter cicada has also grown up from a girl.
It stands to reason that once Kongchen awakens all the memories of his previous life, recalls the demonic skills he cultivated in his previous life, and discovers that the Buddha and the demon are common, he will turn into a demon under the shaking of his mind.
But in the future picture, the empty dust did not turn into a demon, but the golden body was complete and had the meaning of being clean and dustless, obviously recovering the body of the Buddha from the demon body.
Therefore, Lin Lan guessed at that time that the winter cicada could transform from a demon to a Buddha, and the empty dust could transform from a Buddha to a demon, and naturally it could recover as before.
"Brother Lin."
Kongchen looked at Lin Lan, slightly stunned, and said, "Can you get close to the Great Ri Rulai True Scripture?" β
"Yes." Lin Lan nodded, "Are you okay?" β
"It's okay." Kongchen sighed, "It's just ......"
He didn't continue, just looked at Lin Lan and said, "Brother Lin, leave it to me next, from today onwards, I will sit in this Faguang Temple, and before I die, I will not let the power of the Sealed Dragon leak out." β
"You're alone, can you?" Lin Lan asked, "Before, it took eighteen golden bodies to maintain this Buddha Light Enchantment, is it enough for one person?" β
Kongchen nodded slightly and said, "That's enough." β
He said softly: "Maybe it's really the integration of Buddha and demons, I have combined the true demon exercises of the cicada and the method of the Buddha's sect, and I have really practiced the first form of the Buddha's palm, and the second form has also learned the fur, and the Buddha's light enchantment of this "Great Day Rulai Sutra" is much simpler than ordinary Buddhist people, and it is easier for me to be alone than the eighteen golden body perfections." β
"You've practiced the first pose?"
Lin Lan couldn't help but be stunned, and said in disbelief: "Doesn't it mean that the first form of the Divine Palm can only be learned by Arhats in the world?" You have to be a bodhisattva to learn the second form, right? β
Sikong Wuxin also said before that the old monk of the Buddha Temple was able to transcend the world with the help of the second form of the Divine Palm.
But...... The empty dust is only perfect, and he has learned the first form, and even the second form has learned the fur?
"I don't know."
Kong Chen shook his head slowly and said: "But Cicada'er's true demon technique is the same as the law of Buddhism, and there is also a complementary effect, under the integration of the perception of Buddha and Demon, my realm is also much higher." β
Lin Lan looked at the empty dust thoughtfully, and suddenly said: "Because the old bald donkey in the Buddhist temple wants to refine both you and the winter cicada, obviously he wants to get the cultivation memory of the two of you, and he wants to get your memory because you know the first form of the Divine Palm, and he wants to get the cultivation memory of the winter cicada, is it also for the unity of Buddha and demons?" β
Kongchen was also slightly stunned and said, "It's possible." β
He pondered for a while, and said: "The Divine Palm is also divided into small success, great success, and consummation, I have now learned the first form, which is considered the true meaning of the Divine Palm, if you want to achieve true intention, you must at least learn both the first and second forms, and it is the Bodhisattva of the Buddha country, so it is possible to achieve true intention, and true intention is complete, you have to learn nine forms." β
Lin Lan raised his eyebrows slightly, and said: "Because the old monk in the Buddhist Temple only knows the second form, so to speak, he is just a small achievement of the true meaning of the Buddha's palm?" β
He also understood that the palm move of this Divine Palm was only secondary, and the important thing was the true meaning in it.
The difficulty of achieving true meaning is already extremely high, and if you want to achieve true intention, only those great bodhisattvas in the Buddha country who completely surpass the world can achieve great success.
The old monk of the Buddha Temple, although he is a Bodhisattva, is a Bodhisattva in the world after all, and has not yet truly entered the Buddha country, and it is more difficult to continue to improve nature.
If you want to achieve true intentions, in addition to learning the first and second forms, you must also be in the realm of a bodhisattva and enter the Buddha realm in order to succeed.
The first form was learned by the empty dust.
So the old monk had the idea of empty dust.
That old monk is also a bodhisattva, but if he doesn't enter the Buddha country, if he wants to come to the true meaning of the gods, I am afraid that he will have to be like empty dust, with the help of the true demon exercises, to comprehend the truth of the unity of Buddha and demons, and it is possible to achieve the true intention in advance.
"I see......"
Lin Lan muttered: "It turns out that the old monk dealt with you and the winter cicada in order to achieve the true intention of the Divine Palm......
Kongchen sighed and said: "It's just that I don't understand very well, because the old monk of the Buddhist temple has long been a bodhisattva in the world, and he is already invincible in the world, even if the world is closed, the heavenly people of Tiangong and the people of the Buddha Kingdom cannot enter the world, but they can also soar and achieve results in the world." β
Lin Lan had also heard of it.
Before the founding of Dayu, the heavenly palace and the Buddha country would have heavenly gods or arhats and bodhisattvas descending to earth, but in the past 800 years, this kind of thing has never happened.
It is rumored that it is because the first national teacher Tang Tianyuan completely closed the world with a divine array that shrouded the world.
This divine array has caused the world to only be able to go out but not enter.
Taoism can still soar, Buddhism can still achieve fruit, but the heavens, men and immortals can't come down, and Arhat Bodhisattvas can't enter.
"But because the old monk of the Buddhist temple has cultivated to the realm of the Bodhisattva, and the old Taoist who has a view of Taoism, he has also cultivated to the realm of heavenly immortals, but he is not willing to soar and enjoy immortality."
Kong Chen shook his head slowly and said, "I don't know what they want to do, just stay in the human world like this, is it possible that they want to break this closed human array?" β
When Lin Lan heard this, he couldn't help but feel a move in his heart.
Could it be that the two sects of Taoism and Buddhism are competing for the state religion of Dayu, which is also related to this matter?
"Brother Lin, leave this Faguang Temple to me to guard."
Kong Chen looked at Lin Lan and said, "Because the old monk of the Buddhist Temple wants to destroy the dragon vein of Dayu this time, he wants to destroy Dayu, he will definitely not stop there, you can practice hard in Chonghua City." β
Lin Lan nodded slightly and said, "I know." β
Kong Chen immediately lightly palmed it, and with the true intention of the Buddha's palm, it was instilled into the "Great Day Rulai Sutra" in Lin Lan's hand.
The next moment, I saw that this volume of "The Great Ri Rulai Sutra" suddenly bloomed with brilliant Buddha light, and the entire Buddha light enchantment enveloping Faguang Temple suddenly became a little dazzling.
"If the true intention of the divine palm is combined with the power of the Buddha, this Buddha Light Enchantment will also be stronger."
Kongchen said softly: "Brother Lin, you can hand over this volume of the Great Ri Rulai Sutra to me to maintain, it just so happens that I also want to see what is special about the Buddhist scriptures that the Buddha has read himself." β
Lin Lan nodded slightly, and casually handed over this volume of "The Great Ri Rulai True Scripture" and floated it to the empty dust.
With a wave of his hand, Kongchen took over this volume of "The Great Ri Rulai True Scripture".
"Huh?"
After coming into contact with this volume of "The Great Ri Rulai Sutra", Kongchen's face changed slightly, and he suddenly looked at this volume of "The Great Ri Rulai Sutra", turned the last page, and his whole body flashed with Buddha's light.
I saw that on the last page of this volume of "The Great Ri Rulai Sutra", a black palm print slowly emerged.
"What is this?" Lin Lan was slightly stunned.
"What a terrifying demonic qi ......" Kong Chen muttered, and then frowned slightly: "It is the same as the true demon technique cultivated by the cicada, but it is more terrifying than many times, although it is only a trace of the remainder, but it is still extremely pure, and it is more ethereal and more secretive, is it from the legendary 'true demon'?" β
Lin Lan said softly: "True demon? β
"I don't know much about it, but I only know it from Cicada's cultivation memories."
Kong Chen shook his head slowly and said: "Judging from the records of the Outer Demon Gate, the Outer Demon Gate is the source of the Demon Sect, and the source of the Outer Demon Gate is the true demon from outside the heaven and earth, the evil demon outer way, the so-called outer way, refers to the outside of heaven and earth. β
"Beyond heaven and earth?" Lin Lan's eyes changed suddenly.
Outer?
He suddenly remembered that the winter cicada's technique, the magical concealment method, was also similar to transcending heaven and earth.
Or rather...... The actions of the little black cat are somewhat similar to those of the outside world, but they are not so outrageous, but more like a special method created on this basis......
"This palm print on the last page of this Buddhist scripture contains a trace of true demonic energy."
Kong Chen said softly: "If it weren't for the true intent of my Rulai Divine Palm, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to sense this hidden trace of true demon qi, and I can feel that this trace of true demon qi is hidden in the Demon Sect's curse killing method 'Great Dark Sky', and it should be aimed at you...... Brother Lin. β
"Great dark day? Against me? Lin Lan frowned slightly, and a thought suddenly flashed in his heart.
Kongchen said: "Once the Buddha's light on this volume of 'The Great Ri Rulai True Sutra' dissipates, I'm afraid that this curse and killing method formed by the true demon's qi will come to you." β
"I see......"
Lin Lan muttered, and suddenly understood the plan of the old monk of the Buddha Temple.
This volume of "The Great Ri Rulai Sutra" is the root of the formation of the Buddha's light enchantment, and the winter cicada is in the Buddha's light enchantment, and the evil demon 'Xi' was smelted into the power of the year-sealing dragon, but the power of the year-sealing dragon is trapped in the small world formed by the Buddha's light enchantment.
Once the Buddha Light Enchantment dissipated, the power of the Sealed Dragon would penetrate into the Great Yu Dragon Vein, causing the Chonghua Great Array to stagnate for a moment.
And at this moment, the "Great Day Rulai True Sutra" that the Buddha's light dissipated could not suppress the curse and killing method 'Great Dark Heaven' formed by this trace of true demon qi, and at that time, the curse and killing method formed by this true demon qi would take advantage of the moment when the Chonghua Great Array was stagnant, and directly curse and kill Lin Lan!
"The Great Dark Sky ......"
"Is this the reason why I can only see darkness in this endgame......"
Lin Lan recalled his endgame, and finally understood, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Because of the conspiracy of the old monk of the Buddhist temple, from the drought...... No, maybe he had been planning all this from earlier, one ring after another, and killing him was probably just one of them.
If there was nothing outside the sky to change the destiny of heaven, he couldn't even change everything that happened in Faguang Temple, and he was indeed dead.
OK...... After all, it changed the destiny of heaven.
Now that we have survived this time, and after the transformation of the Heaven Thief's supernatural powers, from today onwards, there will be no endgame.
