285 Confluence of Buddhism and Taoism 3
After Jiang Ziya saw the Xuandu Grand Master, he said:
"Brother Dao, I visited several famous mountains such as Emei, Huashan, Yunmeng, etc., but I didn't see a single loose cultivator, and the immortals such as Changmei Zhenren disappeared one by one, it's really strange!"
Hearing this, the Xuandu Grand Master nodded and said:
"You don't have to look for it anymore, those scattered immortals have been invited by Buddhism to the Western Peacock Country. ”
Jiang Ziya heard this, and hurriedly asked:
"What did the Buddha Sect do when he invited my disciples of the Middle Earth Dao Sect to go to the Peacock Country?
Guang Chengzi sighed when he heard this:
"It's not a conspiracy, it's just that I see the chaos of the days, and I want to rob me of the luck of the people of Middle-earth!"
Jiang Ziya was uneasy when he heard this, so he hurriedly asked:
"This Central Plains Scattered Immortal was invited to the West by Buddhism, how is this good?"
Archmage Xuandu smiled when he heard this:
"It's okay, it's okay! Let's go to the West and see what the Buddhists really want. ”
After the immortals agreed, they soared through the clouds, but in one day, they rushed to the Peacock Kingdom Sage Courtyard.
That Kong Xuan was on the throne of the lotus platform, explaining the golden body magic method to the immortals. Suddenly, his heart moved, and his face was full of joy. When he saw the Xuandu Grand Master, Guangchengzi and other immortals arriving, he hurriedly stepped down the throne and stepped forward and said with a smile:
"You fellow Daoists are fortunate to come to my West. ”
Archmage Xuandu replied with a smile:
"Poor Dao heard that there is a gathering of immortals here, and now he is uninvited, I hope the prince will forgive me!"
Kong Xuan laughed when he heard this:
"Brother Dao, I am also deeply honored that you can be here. ”
After Kong Xuan finished speaking, he invited Master Xuandu, Guangchengzi and others into the hospital. Guang Chengzi was full of joy when he saw Kong Xuan, and he couldn't see any resentment at all, as if it wasn't himself and others who besieged him back then. I couldn't help but be secretly surprised in my heart, shocked by Kong Xuan's strength.
After the immortals sat down, the three Bodhisattvas Manjushri, Puxian, and Guanyin also came to meet. Guang Chengzi and the others were originally from the same door as the three Bodhisattvas, and it was inevitable that they would feel a little unnatural when they met here at this time.
But the three bodhisattvas were full of compassion and solemnity, and there was no difference in the slightest. Changmei Zhenren and other Daomen immortals were embarrassed at this time, but the matter had come to this point, so they had to reluctantly come forward to meet them.
When the Grand Master of Xuandu saw the real person with long eyebrows, he didn't see any abnormality on his face, but said to the real people of Long Mei:
"The younger brother was robbed of the mountain gate, and the senior brother was also very sad in his heart, and after this incident, the younger brother remembered to go to the Tushi Palace to see the patriarch, and also asked the patriarch for guidance to rebuild the Emei Taoist system. ”
Seeing that the Xuandu Archmage was not surprised, Changmei Zhenren was greatly moved in his heart, and he was busy praying with joy and sincerity:
"Remember the teachings of my brother. Thank you for your advice. ”
Archmage Xuandu nodded and smiled when he heard this. Kong Xuan stepped forward and said:
"Now that the Three Realms is an eventful time, the reason why I invite the immortals to gather here is precisely to exchange the Tao Dharma and make good connections. Brother Xuandu is here today, it is really the luck of all immortals, Brother Dao is a master of Taiqing, he should go to the altar to preach the Fa, and preach Taiqing Dafa for all of you. ”
When the Grand Master of Xuandu heard this, he felt bad in his heart, so he ascended to the altar according to his words and explained the way of Taiqing with his heart.
Master Xuandu is a disciple of the sage, and the realm of Taoism is higher than the three Bodhisattvas of Manjushri, Fuxian, and Guanyin. He also has the heart to preach the Taiqing Dafa. It was really a wonderful sound of heaven, and all the immortals were fascinated by it, and they all praised Taiqing Dafa.
After the sermon was over, Kong Xuan stepped forward and said with a smile:
"The way of Taiqing is really the supreme magic method, and the way of my Western Buddhism, there are also similarities, it can be seen that the road is the same way, it is really true. ”
The rest of the immortals heard this, and after savoring it, they really felt that what Kong Xuan said was very reasonable. This Taiqing way pays attention to non-action, and the way of Buddhism emphasizes non-appearance, and there are indeed many similarities.
When Master Xuandu heard this, he shouted in his heart that he had made a mistake, no wonder this Kong Xuan invited him to preach on the altar, it turned out that it was all to advocate the convergence of Buddhism and Taoism.
But the matter has come to this point, and the Grand Master of Xuandu is not easy to say, so he preached to Kong:
"I heard that the Buddha and the Buddha of the Treasure Light King and other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas fought a big battle with the Asura Witch Clan in the underworld. A lot of people have been seriously injured, I wonder if they are getting better now?"
Kong Xuanyan smiled when he heard this:
"The Dharma is boundless, although the Asura Demon King and the Great Witch of the Wu Clan are powerful, but they can't hurt the Buddhas. Now, just waiting for the Buddha to defeat the Buddha and the Great Day to cultivate Dafa, I, the Buddha, will go to the Netherworld again and subdue those demons. ”
Hearing this, the Grand Master of Xuandu knew that Sun Monkey had obtained the origin essence of the Four Monkeys of the Mixed World, and now he was probably in retreat to cultivate the power of the Mixed World, and after he refined it, the Dao Xing Mana would definitely make great progress.
And after Da Ri Rulai passed through the matter of Di Jun, the obsession was eliminated, and maybe he could behead the two corpses. Buddhism drills left and right, and the luck is really a lot stronger.
Master Xuandu's thoughts changed sharply, and he preached to Kong:
"It is also gratifying to fight to defeat the Buddha and the Great Ri to get this opportunity, but now the underworld and the six realms of reincarnation are occupied by the Asura clan and the Wu clan, making reincarnation impassable, and the demons in the human world are everywhere, and the human race suffers. I don't know if you are willing to show mercy and help the human race overcome disasters?"
When Kong Xuan heard this, he knew the intentions of Master Xuandu, and he also had the intention to let the disciples of Buddhism go to the eastern land to subdue the demons, so that the Dharma could be widely spread in the Central Plains in the future. So he laughed and said:
"Subduing demons and eliminating demons and purifying sentient beings is the duty of cultivators like us, and now that the Dongtu people are suffering, my Buddhist disciples are naturally duty-bound!"
Hearing this, the Grand Master of Xuandu was overjoyed and said:
"This is very good, the poor Dao Dai Dongtu people thank the Taoist friends. ”
According to his heart, the Grand Master of Xuandu was naturally reluctant to let the disciples of Buddhism go to the Eastern Land to subdue demons and eliminate demons. But at this time, these cultivators of Middle Earth were encircled by Kong Xuan, and the Daomen was not manpowered, and the Heavenly Court also needed heavenly gods, so Master Xuandu felt helpless, so he had to hurry up and let Kong Xuan send Buddhist disciples to Dongtu.
Next, Kong Xuan invited Daoji Zen Master, Fahai Zen Master, Dharma Zen Master, Fuhu Arhat, Baimei Monk and other monks, counting carefully, there are more than 20 people. These monks are all people who have practiced asceticism for several generations and have high mana.
Kong Xuan asked them to follow the Xuandu Archmage and other immortals to the Eastern Soil to Pudu Beings. These Zen masters and arhats are also happy and convinced, and they are full of willingness.
At this moment, the Sage Courtyard came out of thin air to the Zhantan Merit Buddha Tang Sanzang, Elder Tang led the Eight Treasures Golden Body Luohan Sha Monk, and the Pure Altar Messenger Zhu Bajie came to the front of the Xuandu Grand Master and said:
"Amitabha, the poor monk was also a person from the east back then, and now the sentient beings in the east are suffering, and the poor monks also have the heart to go to the east to help sentient beings. ”
When the Xuandu Archmage heard this, he smiled and said:
"The Buddha of Merit really has a compassionate heart, and I am very grateful. ”
The immortals of Middle Earth, such as the Changmei Zhenren, also stepped forward one by one at this time, willing to follow the Xuandu Archmage back to the Central Plains to subdue the demons. The Grand Master of Xuandu did not refuse, so he gathered another forty or fifty people.
After the personnel gathered, the Xuandu Grand Master thanked Kong Xuan and led these people back to Dongtu. Everyone rode the clouds, and it only took one day to rush to the capital of Daqian.
Jiang Ziya led the immortals first and met with Liu Gan, the emperor of heaven. Nowadays, demons are everywhere in Daqian, and officials report disasters every day. Liu Gan was anxious, even though he was too busy to take care of it.
Now that so many immortals have come out of thin air, Liu Gan is overjoyed in his heart and is busy entertaining all the immortals. He also let Jiang Ziya call the shots, and sent these people to various places to subdue the demons and pacify the disaster of the human race.
Then Jiang Ziya divided the immortals into nine batches and rushed to the Central Plains and Kyushu to subdue demons and eliminate demons. These masters of Buddhism and Taoism have cultivated to a high level, and even the worst ones also have the realm of heavenly immortals and arhats.
The demons and demons who have escaped from the underworld have different levels of mana. But most of them are no match for these Buddhist masters. Even some people with high mana, under the joint efforts of everyone, they were also beaten and destroyed. So in just over a month, most of the demons and monsters in Kyushu were subdued, and Daqian was calmed down for a while.
Archmage Xuandu was surprised and happy in his heart, happy that now that the calamity of the human race has gradually calmed down, after Liu Gan has calmed down humanity, he will be able to gather forces to expel the forces of the Asura clan and the Wu clan in the underworld. Let the reincarnation of the underworld be brought back into the control of the heavenly court, so that the three realms will be in their place, and the calamity and calamity can be gradually resolved.
What is surprising is that those Buddhist Zen masters and arhats, every time they go to a place to subdue demons, they will appear in front of people and spread the Dharma in a big way. After this incident, I am afraid that the luck of the Daomen will be damaged a lot. The Grand Master of Xuandu is a descendant of Taiqing, so he is naturally extremely worried about this matter.
However, it was said that on this day, there was a good news from Bodhidharma Zen Master, saying that it was dustless, colorless, phaseless, and nameless The four Arhats worked together to cut off the 10,000-year-old ghost king who was making waves in Yinshan in Liangzhou.
This ghost king was originally an evil ghost who suffered in hell, but because he was born with a fierce nature, he was punished by the king of the ten halls of Hades to suffer in hell. That hell was broken by the magic of the Great Freedom God, and the ghost king took advantage of the situation to escape. Because he did not dare to linger in the underworld, he secretly fled to the human world.
Build a cave in Yinshan, Liangzhou, prepare to occupy the mountain as the king, and also be an ancestor. This ghost king is fierce, and after the cave is repaired, he gradually can't bear it anymore and begins to do evil.
He likes to eat people, and he has to patrol Liangzhou every day, arresting ten mortals and devouring them alive. However, in the rest of the month, the name of the murderer spread throughout the entire Daqian.
The four Arhats of Wuchen and Wuxiang were sent to Liangzhou by Jiang Ziya, and after they arrived at the local area, they found this Rakshasa Ghost King and fought with him, this Ghost King was extremely fierce, although the four Arhats had mana, but it was difficult to surrender to him.
The four Arhats had no choice but to find Bodhidharma Zen Master, borrowed a Buddhist treasure, and through the guidance of Bodhidharma Zen Master, they cultivated the Buddha's light and spiritual flame. Only then did the Rakshasa Ghost King surrender and refine.
After hearing this, Archmage Xuandu's heart suddenly moved. If the court god position is vacant today, these four Arhats will replace the four generals of the original demon family, go to the heavenly court to guard the gate of heaven, and be the four heavenly kings.
After the Xuandu Grand Master finished thinking about it, he summarized the list, counted the meritorious people who subdued the demons and eliminated the demons, and then came to the heavenly court, ready to show the Jade Emperor that these people went to heaven as gods.
