He is the true inheritance of the ancestor, if he says "junior brother", after himself, I am afraid that there is only that Monkey King!

Thinking of this, Ao Qing couldn't help but think that in Elysium, the Buddha faintly mentioned something similar.

In the blink of an eye, he already had a guess in his heart: "What the patriarch said is related to Buddhism?"

Although, Sun Wukong is the future disciple of the Bodhi Patriarch, Ao Qing knows this.

But supposedly, this has nothing to do with me now.

Although he is the true disciple of the patriarch, the patriarch wants to accept apprentices, and there is no need to inform himself.

So this matter must be related to Buddhism, and maybe it is related to yourself!

Patriarch Bodhi didn't have the intention of selling Guanzi, but when he saw that Ao Qing guessed it, he said bluntly, "Not bad. When you came out of the mountain, the Buddha from the West came to my Sanxing Cave."

Really.

Ao Qing knew it in his heart. It must be the Buddha who said something to the Bodhi Patriarch, and this matter is related to Buddhism and himself.

Speaking of which, in Elysium, the Buddha said that he and Buddhism have a "good relationship". Even not only with Buddhism, but also with Taoism and Heaven, there are also a lot of good karma.

Of course, the so-called good karma is not such a mysterious thing. This is probably related to Ao Qing's own way of doing things.

Ao Qing never wanted to be an enemy of Buddhism, Heaven or Daomen.

Since it is not an enemy and is in harmony with the three sects, then there will be a fate in the future, and it will naturally be a "good fate".

This is quite normal!

But Ao Qing never thought that the meaning of this good fate turned out to be Sun Wukong?

Ao Qing said, "I don't know what the Buddha means? Master, just say it. But if there is anything I need to do, the disciples will not refuse."

There was a little seriousness in the patriarch's eyes: "Disciple, I know that you have filial piety. However, the most important thing on the road is to stick to your heart. Many things have to conform to your heart, and you must not force them. If you don't like it in your heart, you can refuse."

When Ao Qing heard this, he also knew that the ancestor was for his own good, so he accepted it in his heart, and said, "The disciple knows."

Only then did the patriarch look relieved, and said slowly, "Xinxuan, do you know what happened before the Buddha attained enlightenment in the past?"

Ao Qing thought for a moment and said, "I've heard about this. The Buddha was originally the crown prince of the King of the Western Kapila Guardian Pure Rice, and was called Gautama. Because he is the saint of the Shakyamuni clan, he is also called Shakyamuni."

Shakya is a Shakya. Muni means "saint".

The patriarch nodded, "Yes, you understand very well. Before the Buddha became a Buddha, it was Shakyamuni. Do you know that before him, the Dharma practiced by Buddhism was very different from what it is now?"

"This...... But the disciples don't know anything." Ao Qing said.

The patriarch said, "You don't know, but it's normal. This is the past of ancient times, even ancient times. Before Shakyamuni, Buddhism still existed, but the Dharma practiced was the Dharma of "Silence". Shakyamuni became a Buddha under the Bodhi tree and realized the "Three Vehicles", so that there is a distinction between Hinayana and Medium and Superior."

The patriarch slowly recounted a series of past events.

Ao Qing listened to it in his ears, and only then did he learn about the past of Buddhism.

In fact, this is not far from what he understands.

Although, in the real world, Shakyamuni is the founder of Buddhism. But in Buddhist mythology, Shakyamuni is only the last of the "Seven Buddhas of the Past".

It symbolizes the meaning of "connecting the past and the future".

According to this statement, not to mention Amitabha, the "king of Buddhas" in the "Heavens and Ten Thousand Worlds", even in the world of sampa, Shakyamuni Buddha is not the oldest.

Buddhism has three eons: the solemn eons of the past, the virtuous eons of the present, and the future nakshatra calamities.

The three eons here are also the period when the three Buddhas of the past, the present, and the future are erected.

In the past, thousands of Buddhas were born solemnly, and it was the ancient Buddha who lit the lamp as the leader.

When the ancient Buddha was lit as the Buddha, the West pursued the "Dharma of Silence". The meaning of the Dharma of Silence is "the silence of the body, detachment from all appearances." In other words, "appearances" are not important, love and hatred, lust, good and evil, and happiness are only external appearances.

If you want to become a Buddha, you have to practice silence and destroy all appearances. It's not just "evil" but also "good."

Because good is the relative of evil, and where there is good, there will be evil. In the same way, happiness and pain are not real pleasures and pains, but magazines that deceive people. "Silence" is needed.

The ancient Buddhism practiced this method.

But.

What people didn't expect was that after attaining the Buddhas, this method. But it has also bred many demons.

Among them, until now, the sixth day demon king, the demon lord Bo Xun, has been tricky for Buddhism!

Because, the "silence" of Buddhism has stripped away the "appearance". The good, evil, cause and effect, happiness, pain, love and hatred, love and hatred, life and death, and so on represented by the appearance all converge into another world opposite Buddhism.

The Demon Lord Bo Xun and the Six Heavens of the Desire Realm were also born.

It can be said that if the ancient Buddhism is the extreme "silence", then the demon path is the extreme "hustle and bustle".

Even, there is a legend that the demon lord Bo Xun was once the great sage of Buddhism in ancient Buddhism.

But in the end, he was hit by what Buddhism did, and he was disheartened, so he went to the extreme.

Later, Shakyamuni was born, and although he studied the Dharma of Silence, he also felt that the Dharma of Silence could not save the world. Therefore, he continued to explore, and finally the Thousand Buddhas were inspired by Lao Jun, and due to the influence of the purple qi coming from the east, the Buddha became enlightened under the Bodhi tree and comprehended the Three Vehicles Buddhism.

Since then, he has been worshiped as a Buddha by all Buddhas, and has become the "present Buddha" of Buddhism, creating the current Buddhism.

However, although the Buddhas recognized the Buddha. The Demon Lord Bo Xun and the other demon heavens did not approve of it.

Even, Bo Xun thought that the Buddha's three-fold method was just an ancient Buddhism dressed up in hypocrisy, which was even more hateful. Therefore, he obstructed the Buddha many times and went toe-to-toe with the Buddha.

Although Bo Xun fell to the downwind, he was obstructed, and the three-squares method was never able to spread. Not to mention the four major continents, even in the West Niu He Continent, they can't suppress the Demon Dao.

Not only that, but the Buddha also calculated that there would be a catastrophe in Western Buddhism, and if the three-vehicle method was destroyed, it would be ruined, and even if it was reborn, it would only go through the old path of extinguishing Buddhism again. Therefore, he tried to spread the Dharma to the southern Ganbu continent.

Even if the real three-fold method is eliminated, at least, it can be passed down in the Southern Ganbu Continent.

But in this process, it is impossible for Bo Xun not to obstruct it. Therefore, he had to seek other ways.

And that's the ...... Journey to the West!
