Chapter 523: A little order, but not much; Why is it that only you don't see your sect's teachings?
The wordless tacit understanding between the Heavenless Demon Ancestor and the Kui Gang Fa Ancestor was something that the Demon Realm creatures had never thought of before.
In fact, for the creatures of the Demon Realm, killing, tyranny, and betrayal are commonplace, as if they are all instincts engraved in their lives.
The so-called order, for them, is absolutely an unbearable shackle.
Compared to the Heavenless Demon Ancestor who was laissez-faire to the beings of the Demon Realm and only ruled them in name, Kuigang Fazu built the Demon Kingdom and established the Demon Emperor, which was to formulate rules to unite the scattered Demon Realm.
After all, it is the incarnation of the Jade Emperor, and even if it is assimilated with the will of the Demon Realm, it represents order to a certain extent.
Perhaps this is also one of the reasons why the will of the Demon Realm wants to assimilate the incarnation of the Jade Emperor.
Since the birth of the Demon Realm, chaos has filled the entire world, and compared to the Three Realms, which are still relatively complete in order, the development of the Demon Realm is not known how many tens of thousands of years behind.
And the Heavenless Demon Ancestor, who was the Great Sage of the Demon Realm, was not abandoned by the will of the Demon Realm because of this.
One of the two sides represents order, and the other represents chaos, respectively in charge of the two supreme treasures of the Demon Realm, the Divine Spear of Killing and the Black Lotus of the World Destroyer, within these three hundred, they will divide the victory and defeat and decide the future development direction of the Demon Realm.
In this regard, the Heavenless Demon Ancestor and the Kui Gang Fa Ancestor both knew it.
But after all, the Heavenless Demon Ancestor came from the Three Realms Buddhism, how could he not know what kind of changes the order could bring to a world?
In the past, he just regarded the Demon Realm as his own power to counterattack the Three Realms, plus as the Great Sage of the Demon Realm, he was already the master of the Demon Realm, so he didn't pay attention to the appearance of the Kuigang Fazu now, which naturally brought him a lot of pressure, and that sense of urgency was something he had never experienced before.
Hiring.
This is the current common development tone of the two of them, all the war has come to an end for the time being, and the endless abyss of the demon world of the two sides is the boundary, and it is divided into the north and south demon worlds. Kuigang Fazu established the Demon Kingdom, and the Heavenless Demon Ancestor created the Demon Sect.
The Demon Realm, which was originally tense and on the verge of a war, seemed to be able to have a rare period of peace.
It's just that compared to the two big guys on top, the demon races below and the big demons everywhere are not so easy as the precious combat power of the demon world, it is inevitable that they will be targeted by both sides, and at the beginning, there were still some forces or masters who wanted to meet the source left and right, or eat the benefits of double portions.
But they had obviously forgotten the names of the Heavenless Demon Ancestor and the Kuigang Fa Ancestor. They are based on the principle of efficiency on paper, and those who show hesitation or clear refusal in the face of solicitation will immediately kill the killer without the slightest hesitation.
After all, pressing to recruit subordinates is carried out in their respective territories, and you don't work for me, that is, you have to surrender to the enemy, and it is not easy to deal with the enemy?
There is nothing to hesitate about.
In short, it's still one word, messy.
Even in the Northern Demon Realm ruled by Kuigang Fazu, it is the same, even if there is a little order, but there is really not much. There are even fewer who can seriously abide by it.
Even because there are too many rules in the Northern Demon Realm, many people from the Demon Race took the initiative to run to the Southern Demon Realm ruled by the Heavenless Demon Ancestor, and even some of the demons who surrendered and rebelled also felt remorse.
But. Since they have become traitors and offended the Heavenless Demon Ancestor, they can only follow Kuigang Fazu to the dark now.
Fortunately, these rules are far from binding on them.
Moreover, powerful guys will have certain privileges everywhere, let alone the demon world?
Li Chengqian, the former crown prince of the Tang Dynasty.
Because he worshiped under the sect of Li Chunfeng, he still faded away from the prince's clothes, wearing an ordinary Taoist robe, carrying an iron crutch, and carrying a gourd.
As a prince, Li Chengqian actually rarely goes down to the people, and when he is the prince, whenever he goes out of the palace, the prince's guard of honor is indispensable. Later, the crown prince was abolished by his father, and he was confined to the palace until last year, when the emperor's uncle Sanzang Master returned from learning the scriptures, and he was able to get out of trouble.
Although he has completely lost the hope of competing for the throne, he seems to have a chance to become an immortal. Between one loss and one gain, whether it is a blessing or a curse, who can really say clearly?
Not only did he worship the human religion, but even the green bird worshiped under the sect of Jin Guangxian, and the little sister was rescued by Guanyin Bodhisattva and accepted as a disciple.
To be an emperor?
Be the Son of Heaven?
How can it be more leisurely and happy than becoming an immortal?
Before Li Chengqian officially left Chang'an, he followed his master's instructions and first came to the Great Ci'en Temple to meet Master Sanzang.
Today's Sanzang Master, in the Tang Dynasty in the prestige can be said to be in the sky, even if the Great Ci'en Temple does not accept incense, but the people who come to see the Holy Buddha every day to pray for blessings have always been in a stream.
The Great Mercy and Grace Temple does not set a threshold, and all the creatures of the Three Realms, whether they are men, women, old and young, rich or poor, can enter the temple. As for those who are not right-minded, how dare they take half a step closer to the Great Mercy and Grace Temple?
Of course, most mortals come here to worship under Master Sanzang.
Among them, only a small part is devoted to the Dharma, and the vast majority of mortals are still shallow in their minds, just running for immortality.
Fahai doesn't care about this, it's human nature. We must face it up to it and guide it correctly.
And at this time, Fahai also seemed to understand why Lingshan set up the hidden rule of "the law is not passed on lightly".
But this is by no means a reason for Lingshan to collect personnel, at least the Dharma transmission of the Great Ci'en Temple is by no means judged by such standards.
Compared with Lingshan's way of preaching, Fahai is still more inclined to Zhenyuan Daxian's preaching in Wuzhuang Temple, so in addition to the top floor of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, where his daily practice is located, the remaining floors are used as the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of the Great Ci'en Temple, and are open to the public.
It's just that on each floor, there will be a scripture keeper.
Only by passing the test of the keeper of the scriptures can we go to the next level.
The first layer is not limited, which is also the basic scriptures for the introduction of the various sects of Buddhism, in addition to the scriptures of Buddhism, there are also Xuanmen, Taoism, Confucianism, and the hundred schools of learning.
Li Chengqian is now in the first layer of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and he is not in a hurry to meet the emperor's uncle, Master Sanzang, but reads the scriptures in the first layer of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda
Although there were many people in the tower, there was no other noise except for some slight footsteps and the sound of flipping books.
Li Chengqian was also affected by this atmosphere, holding a copy of the doctor's "Bian Que Neijing", and gradually became fascinated.
This "Bian Que Neijing" is one of the hundred classics obtained by Fahai from the Huoyun Cave, and it is one of the original books left in the world after Bian Que became an immortal.
Li Chengqian has already read it, in addition to "Bian Que's Neijing", there are really a lot of various "classics" of doctors. Although he had heard that after the emperor's uncle came back from Huoyun Cave, he gave a batch of hundreds of classics to the palace, he really didn't expect that there would be such a "medical scripture" among them.
Li Chengqian's addiction to medical books is not for any other reason, that is, because of his lameness, although the master and the imperial uncle both said that this is a congenital defect, and the immortal method is difficult to treat, he is still unwilling to accept his fate.
As Master Sanzang said, it is better to ask for others than for yourself, so he studied the medical scriptures by himself. I didn't expect that he really had some talent in this medical skill, and he was able to sink into it and specialize in it.
This is something that Li Shimin did not expect before.
Li Chunfeng even directly judged this, even if Li Chengqian could not cultivate into an immortal, after his death, he would be able to rely on his medical skills to be specially recruited into the heavenly court to become a "medical immortal".
Special Enrollment Quota.
This is a special authority that all the ministries of the Heavenly Court and all the ministries of the underworld have.
Those medical masters in the world are all immortals after death, such as Bian Que, Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing and others, and the current Tang Dynasty, there is also a Sun Simiao, who has already made a name in the heavenly court.
Back then, all of them gathered together in the Yang Mansion at the mouth of the river to diagnose and treat the three princesses who were pregnant and uncomfortable. Because of the quota of an attending physician, they didn't even want the "face" of their respective medical masters, and they actually "attacked" each other on the spot to expose their shortcomings, although the means were so bad, they were still a little cute.
I don't know how long it took.
Li Chengqian's stomach sounded softly, which made him suddenly come back to his senses, and it was still late when he looked left and right, but there were still no fewer people reading the scriptures in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.
When he came in during the day, the temple was full of monks studying scriptures, and the seats in the pagoda were already full, and there was hardly any room for spaciousness except for the corridors and aisles, which were to be kept unblocked.
The main thing is that he is dressed in an ordinary Taoist robe, although he is quite conspicuous in this Buddhist temple, but no one recognizes him as the former prince of the dynasty. And with his embarrassing identity, I'm afraid that even if someone recognizes it, they will still pretend not to know.
Li Chengqian was lucky, when he came, there happened to be a person leaving, so he found a place to stay and read at the bottom of the stairs.
What kind of learning atmosphere is this?
Li Chengqian simply sighed in his heart, and it seemed that he had been able to foresee the prosperity of the Great Ci'en Temple in the future.
"Your Highness."
Wu Jing, who brought dinner to the master, entered the tower and saw Li Chengqian holding a medical book, so he stepped forward with a smile and greeted: "Your Highness, isn't it possible that you have been reading the medical scriptures here all day?" β
"Fascinated for a while, it made the elder smile."
"Amitabha." Wujing recited a Buddha name, and didn't mention much about it, but still said with a smile: "The poor monk is about to go up, can Your Highness go together?" β
"Elder Lao has led the way."
"Your Highness, pleaseβ"
In fact, since Li Chengqian was deposed, he has become a rebellious character, especially in front of Li Shimin, he is even more presumptuous, because he has nothing to ask for, so he has nothing to fear.
And when facing the emperor's uncle Sanzang Master in the Great Ci'en Temple, he has always been a gentle and polite image.
At the turn of a staircase, Li Chengqian walked quickly side by side with Wujing, and asked: "Dare to ask the elder, Xiao Wang looked around in the tower today, which can be described as all-encompassing, and the three schools of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism do not mention it, and those hundred classics that have long since died out are also hidden."
Speaking of this, Li Chengqian paused slightly, took a look at Wujing's expression, and saw that he was still smiling, so he continued to ask: "But why can't you see your sect's wisdom-only teachings?" β
"Amitabha." Wujing recited the Buddha's name again, and explained with a smile: "Because the teachings of wisdom are profound and difficult to understand, if you don't have a certain insight into the Dharma, I'm afraid it will be difficult to even get started and if you want to really achieve something on the teachings of Wisdom, then you must be proficient in at least one of the Dharma of each sect of Buddhism, and you must be proficient in one of them." β
"I see." Li Chengqian was thoughtful when he heard this.
Wujing is not hidden, this is not a secret, "It is also the beginning of our sect, some of the basic scriptures of this sect, the master is still compiling, and the Dharma is interconnected, it always does not hurt to learn more." β
Moreover, for the Dharma-only teachings, the Dharma of other sects must be learned sooner or later.
The more Dharma one is proficient in, the deeper the understanding of the teachings of this sect will be.
It is not even limited to Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. All have this effect, which can be said to have brought all rivers to the extreme.
In this way, Wujing can also truly realize where the Master's "ambition" lies.
It is already a matter of Buddhism that the teachings of wisdom are difficult to learn, and even some arhats and bodhisattvas in Lingshan feel obscure and difficult to understand when they comprehend it.
Those Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who have relied on their mana to increase the attainment of great vocation and vocation are even more exposed in front of the Enlightenment-only teachings, because of the prevalence of the Enlightenment-only teachings, and then they also have to pick up the Dharma practice that has been abandoned for many years.
Unless you really hide in your own dojo and don't see anyone, when the Buddhas get together, you will have to show timidity between the words and words, and you will lose your face.
Moreover, there will be such a situation among the Buddhas, although many ordinary monks in the mortal world, although their mana is limited, but the depth of the Dharma is even greater than those Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who are not worthy of the name
If it was in the past, it would have been forgotten, but now under the intention of the Buddha, coupled with the fact that Master Sanzang has a very deep support among the people, the Buddhist temples up and down Xizhou have naturally begun to prevail in the teachings of consciousness.
Among them, there is also the credit of those arhats who followed Master Sanzang to Chang'an to listen to the sermons. After all, they are Xizhou monks, how can they stay in Chang'an for a long time, besides, they are all immortals, and it is only a blink of an eye to travel between the two continents, so they listen to the Tao and study the scriptures in Chang'an during the day, and they have to return to their respective dojos in Xizhou to preach at night.
Such a scene made the Buddha feel a lot of emotion - when they were asked to preach Mahayana Buddhism in the past, why didn't they see such intentions?
When the golden cicada was in Lingshan, Anke was a "hated dog", and now he has been reincarnated and rebuilt as the Sanzang Holy Rulai, but you are so sought after
The Buddha shook his head helplessly, he could only say that the world is impermanent, and even he will find it difficult to see through the changes in the future.
Li Chengqian went all the way to the ninth floor, met Master Sanzang, bowed and saluted: "The little nephew has seen the emperor's uncle." β
Several of Li Shimin's favored children, when they met Master Sanzang in private, all called him "Uncle Huang" to show their closeness.
