Chapter 587: Ninety-Nine: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada and the Yellow Finch (3)
"Damn, that's how Shiva's name came from. "When he first met Rudra, he wondered how this cold and rigid person could have the name of Shiva (meaning the one who is forgiving and compassionate), and now I know that this name is synonymous with a believer.
In fact, there are many other gods of this kind, for example, in Greece, most people do not dare to call Zeus by the name, but use the king of the gods and the lord of the sky instead, and Athena is replaced by the goddess of wisdom and the purple-eyed goddess of war. Later generations of believers called Rudra by Shiva, and I am afraid that there was also a meaning of praying for him not to be angry.
At this point, Vishnu gestured to Rudra, who then stopped dancing. With a slight wave of his right hand, Vishnu instantly flew the thousand-petaled lotus flower in his hand upside down into the air and became a thousand times larger, and then said to the thousands of heavenly gods and asuras in the circle: "The precondition is that no matter who you are, as long as you agree to come down, you can purify my lotus flower and then walk out of the Brahmana circle. ”
"I want to, but how can I purify?" said one of the Celestial Beings in a hurry.
"It's very simple, you just have to recite the names of our three gods in your heart, and then put them in their rightful places, and a leap of lotus flowers will absorb you. Vishnu smiled slightly.
As soon as the words fell, a person jumped up with a whoosh, and then was absorbed by the lotus flower, entered the stamen through the guò petals, and finally came out through the flower stem channel.
This lotus purification is really effective, and the people who come out of the flower path are very different from before, not only are their spirits and complexions much better, but also when they hear Shiva's hourglass drum and see his tandawa dance steps, they don't have the same feeling of being hot and blood-boiling as before.
"Okay, really good. The Celestial Beings examined their bodies and shouted excitedly on the stems.
At this time, when you look at the asuras, the celestial gods in the array, you can see that they are swishing like flying fish in the tide, and they are constantly surging towards the lotus, and in the blink of an eye, thousands of people have entered the lotus. Like the previous person, it enters the stamen through the petals of the guò flower, and finally comes out through the passage of the stem.
"Ahh
"Hehe, if you don't want to respect us, we will stay in the formation, and if you have the ability to break through, why engage in such opportunistic tricks. Vishnu looked at the burning fellow and pouted and sneered. Obviously, this person didn't want to respect them as masters in his heart, but he just wanted to see if he could pass the guò lotus, but he didn't expect the punishment to be so severe.
The people behind saw that their expressions had changed drastically, and they no longer dared to have any opportunistic thoughts, and many of the masters who were eager to try before immediately stopped and obediently retreated to the back.
At this time, the stem of the lotus flower was densely packed with people, and Vishnu waved his hand to them, gestured to the outside of the circle, and said with a smile: "You don't have to stay on it anymore, just jump from the stem to the outside of the circle by yourself." ”
When those who had been purified heard this, they jumped out of the flower stems one after another. At this time, the feeling was different from before, only that the body was no longer as heavy as before, and the mana in the body seemed to have returned. couldn't help but be overjoyed, and gradually became sincere and happy with the three of them, although some of them went directly after jumping out, most of them stayed outside the formation to see how to end it in the end.
It's not that Indra, Vimalithara and the others didn't want to cause sabotage, but after staying in the formation for so long, their strength has been greatly reduced, and there are Agnini, Vayu and Extreme Desire Immortals who are eyeing the air, and they all give up after trying a few times to no avail.
At first, they were all ordinary asuras and gods, but later those gods and asura generals also joined in, such as the twin horse boy brothers, the sun god Suriya, and even the asura king Rahu also flew into the lotus flower, and after purification, he automatically stood beside the gods such as Ajuni.
Seeing that those who were willing to leave had gone, leaving only nearly 10,000 gods, asualas, and most of the gods and asura kings, Vishnu smiled coldly and said, "Indra, Vimalitara, and all of you who remained in the circle, it seems that you are planning to die to the end. ”
"Haha! That's right, we don't have the habit of being minions. Although the current form is very wolf-like, Indra still laughed proudly and said, "So let's think about how to draw a path, we will accompany us to the end, and I will report to Yamamana as a big deal." ”
"Then don't blame us for being unsympathetic. Vishnu said and merged with the last doppelganger, Rama, and waved his hand at Brahma in the air. Brahma sighed, and was lined up in the air in a triangular shape with Vishnu and Rudra, and was about to attack.
"If they don't want to, why should the three gods have to be strong? "One person turned into the form of the asura crowd and revealed the Origin Dharmakaya, which was the corpse of Viva, the head of the five people sent by Nyorai to the Asura realm to help Vimalitara.
"Hmph! I've already found out that there is something wrong with a few of you, so come out. "When Rudra was dancing the Dance of Tandava to kill people, he felt that someone in the array was using the Dharma to counter his power, but he didn't have time to care about it at that time, so he put it aside, and now they really jumped out on their own.
"The corpse of Vibha/the corpse of the abandoned/the Vaishfu/Kannahamuni/Kayabha have seen three gods. At this time, four more gods came out of the asuras, and the other four were sent by Nyorai. They stand in the middle to form a swastika and together they bow to Brahma, Vishnu and Rudra.
"To stand out for others, you have to have that capital. Loudra's grim gaze swept over the five people, and sneered: "I know that none of you have been affected by the magic circle, in this case, you have two choices: one is to go back to the north immediately, and I will spare you in the face of Shakya, and the other is to take me a move." As soon as any of you can take my move, I'll let them all go immediately. ”
"All living beings are pure in nature, and there is no life and no destruction from the original. That is, the body and mind are illusory beings, and there is no sin and blessing in the illusion. He chanted a Buddha verse, put his palms together and saluted, "Amitabha! The five of us are willing to receive the five moves of Lord Shiva together, I don't know if I can do it?"
"Haha! What a cunning bald head, he is indeed a man of good speech, but since you said it, I will not refute your face. As I said before, if the five of you can withstand my blow, I'll let them all go and get ready. Loudra said proudly.
"Thank you Shiva!" The five of them bowed to the Rudra at the same time, and then stood in the swastika circle to cast their mana, only to see that each of them formed a circle of seven-colored Buddha light that condensed like a substance. At this time, the four clusters of Buddha light on the periphery circulated to the right in the direction of the swastika, and finally intersected with the Buddha light in the center, slowly merging into a more intense Buddha light.
"Hehe, hey, it's too much to play this little trick in front of me. Loudra sneered, the third heavenly eye in his forehead opened, and instantly sent out a flash of fire towards the five people.
Loudra deliberately demonstrated, so the flame flying out of his forehead did not fly fast, but the five people seemed to feel the danger, and at the same time shouted to stimulate their maximum potential, and instantly made the Buddha light on the periphery a little brighter.
However, this qiē was useless, and the flame and the layer of Buddha light outside only shook for a moment, and then the Buddha light scattered and collapsed. It was too late for the five of them to dodge, and they were instantly burned by the flames, and then burned fiercely.
"The body is born out of nothingness, as if it were an illusion. The illusory mind has no original consciousness, and the sins and blessings are all empty and have no place to live. The corpse hurriedly transported the mana of the whole body to extinguish the fire, but unfortunately it had no effect at all, so in the end, he no longer wasted energy and time, sat cross-legged and sat in the center, and chanted the last verse of his life.
"The creation of all good karma is illusory, and the creation of all negative karma is also illusory. The body is like a gathering foam, the heart is like the wind, and there is no root and no substance. ”
"Under the pretense of the four majors, there is no cause for life in the heart. If there is no intention in the future, there will be no sin and blessing will be extinguished if there is no illusion. ”
"Seeing the body without reality is the Buddha's vision, and the mind is like an illusion is the Buddha's illusion. The body and mind are naturally empty, and there is no difference between Si people and Buddhas. ”
"A Buddha does not know that he is a Buddha without seeing his body, and if he really knows it, there is no Buddha. A wise man can know the emptiness of sin, and he is not afraid of life and death. ”
The other four did not struggle anymore after finding that it had no effect, and sat cross-legged around the corpse of Vibha, each reciting a Buddha name, and then burned peacefully in the fire until it turned to ashes.
"Well, this kind of awareness of facing life and death calmly is the attitude we should have, and the Dharma of Shakya really has its own merits. What Loudra admired most was such people who did not hesitate to sacrifice their lives in pursuit of their ideals, and couldn't help but fold their palms together and salute in the direction of the five people.
"Alas, I didn't expect to be late. There was a long sigh, and then a person appeared out of thin air above the circle of Shanjian City, and it was the Buddha who arrived in a hurry.
"I was thinking about how such a big scene could be without you, but in the end, it still came. Vishnu looked at Rulai and smiled coldly, "It's not interesting to hide anymore, let's show up!"
"I can't imagine that the great god has such a big opinion about me. Rulai saluted with one palm, and then waved his hand back, and in an instant a person appeared beside him, it was the Ancient Buddha of the Burning Lamp.
Lighting the lamp and saluting to the Brahma in the heavens: "Good, good, good! It has been a hundred years since we met, and the Brahma teacher has always been good?"
"Well, I didn't expect you to have achieved such an achievement, and it was not in vain that I said it at the beginning. "Brahma once debated the Sanskrit path with Randen more than 100 years ago, and when he saw that he was solemn and had a great achievement, he couldn't help but praise it.
"Amitabha! The three great gods are above, and the poor monk/little monk is polite. At this time, two more Buddhas appeared, which were Amitabha Buddha, the leader of the Western Pure Land of Bliss, and Medicine Buddha of the Eastern Glass World.
Manjushri took the bodhisattvas to see the three gods. "The eight great bodhisattvas of Manjushri, Pugen, Avalokiteshvara, Vajrapani, Void Zang, Jizang, Dashi Zhi and Removing Obstacles appeared beside the Buddhas at the same time and bowed together to the three gods in the middle.
"A bunch of sneaky fellows, they don't look like good birds!" said Marshu, the son of Rudra, who had a violent temper, and was very upset with the behavior of these fellows one by one, and stood there shouting.
"yes, I remember there was a saying that 'the louder you scream, the lower your level,' which is a good way to describe you. Ten more people appeared at the same time, none other than the ten disciples of Nyorai, Mahakalya, Moggallan, Furuna, Subodhi, Sariputta, Rahula, Ananda, Upali, Anirudha, and Kajayan. Rahula, the son of Rulai, couldn't get used to Marshu's arrogance, sneered and mocked, and raised his hand to wave it away.
