Chapter 408 Good Virtue, Dharma Mind Power Causes and Dependencies
In the Vulture Temple, a virtuous monk wakes up from meditation. asked the two attendants beside him: "Brother Shanyu's fateful person, how many calamities have he been away now?"
On the left side, he held Rizhu with his hand and pinched his fingers: "The first tribulation of the three-star country snake disaster, the second calamity of the Seven Spirit Valley Peng calamity, the third calamity of Bai Ze's persuasion, the fourth calamity of the black wind group of demons blocking the way, the fifth calamity of the weak water Ze black demons to make trouble, and the sixth calamity of the demon Jiao Xinghong." Now that it has reached the seventh tribulation, it should be the doom of the Bailin Ridge poisonous miasma. β
The doctor king monk bowed his head: "That's the case." It's time for me to go. According to the agreement between my Vulture Temple and the Demon Clan, the disciples of the Buddhist Sect can make three shots. If they can't fix the miasmaβ"
The waiter next to him who was holding the moon wheel stepped forward and whispered in a low voice.
The great monk's face pale slightly: "Solved? Is it the Pure Heaven Great Immortal Technique of West Kunlun? Yao Mu Niangniang was known as the 'Heavenly Medicine' back then, and she was good at prolonging her life. β
"Not only that, father. After a slight sense, the waiter of the Sun Pearl said in surprise: "My Tianyan Tong can no longer see the three of them. β
Hearing this, the great monk looked to the east with the eyes of heaven.
Bailin Ridge is filled with immortal xia, and the gods of Zhu Yaochi will purify the poisonous miasma, but the chariot of Ren Hong and the three of them has disappeared and is invisible.
He calculated the cause and effect, but was blocked by inexplicable mana, and he couldn't calculate the whereabouts of the three people.
"Strange, the three of them actually changed their routes?" the monk's face flashed with worry.
This time, the Buddha Sect and the Demon Clan fought the law, and the Demon Clan sent people along the way to block it, delaying the time for Ren Hong and the three of them to go west, and the Buddha Sect came to the aid on the way.
According to the arrangement of the cultivators of the Vulture Temple, the route from the Vulture Temple to the Zaihua Monument has been properly arranged. Twelve calamities are guaranteed, and the Vulture Temple is ready to save people at any time.
But right now, Ren Hong and the three of them actually disappeared from the sight of the Vulture Temple? You know, the demon clan poured out of the nest this time, and several Dao Monarchs and Demon Kings came in person, not only near the Vulture Temple, but even the entrance to the Western Earth World farther away was also controlled by them.
Their purpose was to really delay for nine days and eliminate this demon tribulation.
"If they don't follow the right path, we won't be able to save people in the Vulture Temple. β
The monk of the king of medicine was about to get up to meet the people of Dingguang Dao, when he suddenly saw the firelight flying from the direction of the lamp cave, and the instructions of the people of Dingguang Dao came from afar: "Don't be impatient, wait and see what happens." β
"Respect the Buddha's main purpose. β
The monk bowed together and continued to meditate and wait.
......
"Hmph...... The three of us traveled, how could we really follow their thoughts?" Ren Hong asked Dong Zhu to control the flying chariot, calculated the chess game of heaven and earth by himself, and finally found a way to break the game.
They did not force their way directly in the direction of the Vulture Temple, but turned around and went to the Temple of Eternal Life.
Right now, the three of them are settling down in a good city.
Hearing Ren Hong's plan, Dong Zhu and Qi Yao also smiled: "Exactly, the Immortal Ancestor is a senior of the Immortal Dao. When we come to the Western Wilderness, how can we pass by and not see us?"
This reason is so high-sounding that no one can say a typo.
It's just that the distance between Wanshou Mountain and the Eagle Temple is not close, so they took a big detour and settled in Shanyu City temporarily, and continued to set off after repairing.
Shanyu City was originally the capital of Luo Weiguo. After a cataclysm in the early years, Luo Weiguo was destroyed by the enemy. Later, as a prince, Venerable Zen Yu rescued the remnants and established Zen Imperial Castle. This great city is protected by Buddhism and is one of the most sacred places in the Western Wilderness.
When Ren Hong and the three of them came to the outside of the city, they sensed several immortal Buddha natures in the Buddha City from afar.
"Good guy, there are several Buddhist masters here? Looking at the level of Buddha's light, I'm afraid it's not the reincarnation of Arhat Bodhisattva?"
The three of them entered the city to watch, the city is very prosperous, no worse than the Central Plains County. According to a rough estimate, the city has a population of 500,000, and its residents are philanthropic and worship Buddhism.
"Let's go to Wanshou Mountain in a while, and now we can take a stroll around. β
The three of them acted separately, and Ren Hong sensed the light of the Buddha in the city and went directly to visit the Buddhist masters.
And Qi Yao walked and walked to see the buildings in the city.
The architectural style of the Good Imperial City is completely different from that of the Middle-earth cornices and arches. Even the Middle-earth Buddhist Temple is very different from the architectural style of the Zen Imperial Castle. Even the regulations of Buddha statues and prayer buildings are different.
"Although the Western Wilderness Buddha Sect and my Middle Earth Buddhist Temple are of the same origin, the difference is a bit big. β
Around many buildings, large and small Buddha statues and statues of heavenly kings are erected. This atmosphere is similar to the reliefs of dragons, phoenixes, mythical beasts, etc. in Middle-earth architecture.
Not far away, a couple came to a Buddha wall with their newborn in their arms. This Buddha wall enshrines hundreds of large and small Buddha statues.
The couple asked the teacher to pray for the child's blessing and left a palm-sized statue of pure gold Buddha on the Buddha wall.
Qi Yao looked at the Buddha statue, and a golden light fell in the air, protecting the Buddha statue.
Soon after, another couple arrived. The couple dressed plainly, and did not have the money to build a Buddha statue for their child, so they offered five lotus flowers to the main Buddha on the Buddha wall to pray for the safety of their son. In the same way, the Buddha light in the air falls, sheltering the baby from thriving.
Looking further afield, the custom of offering to gods, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in this good royal city is quite common. Everywhere there are shrines on the Buddha wall, there are long queues of believers preparing various offerings.
Qi Yao shook his head secretly: "Although it is a good thing for believers to worship piously, isn't it a little too extravagant?"
Dong Zhu is not interested in architecture and believers. He was watching the market trade, watching the exchange of people.
A pedestrian accidentally dropped the money bag, and a pedestrian next to him immediately pointed out and helped him pick up the money bag and return it. The walker hurriedly thanked and saluted, and with this "thank you", a wisp of milky white mental power rose from his body and fell on the benefactor and turned into a golden light of merit.
"Is that merit?"
Dong Zhu looked strange, and saw that a woodcutter next to him accidentally dropped a firewood, and a child next to him ran over to help pick it up. Similarly, with a "thank you", Dong Zhu saw a wisp of mental power on the old man's body falling on the child, turning into a golden light of merit.
He then looked at the residents of Shanyu City with his eyes, and the heads of the residents in this city were full of brilliant golden light, and they were actually "good people" all over the city!
After turning around, he and Qi Yao converged and went to find Ren Hong together.
At this moment, Ren Hong is debating the Dharma of Buddhism with several masters. With his hundred years of practice in the illusion and the memories of his past lives, he was speechless for several of his teachers' arguments.
Seeing that this group of masters was about to start a nameless fire, Ren Hong laughed: "Everyone, go down to find your ancestor!"
After speaking, a gust of fairy wind blew, pulling Dong Zhu and Qi Yao away and rushing to Wanshou Mountain together.
The Good Imperial City is what the Venerable Good Yu saw, that is, the person Ren Hong saw in the East China Sea. According to his senses, he was still a little involved with this great monk.
On the way, Qi Yao and Dong Zhu mentioned what they had seen and heard.
Ren Hong disagreed: "Since Buddhism is known as the Dharma, it naturally has outstanding features. The essence of the 'offering' seen by Qi Yao and the 'merit' seen by Dong Zhu is similar, both of which are the ultimate use of humane mental power. β
One person thanked him, and at the moment of sincere thanks, the power of the Buddha in the void turned this power of gratitude into a blessing and fell on the benefactor. This is the accumulation of external merit, the cultivation of virtue and the deed of good. β
"As for the offerings that Qi Yao saw, it was the offerings of mortals to the gods and Buddhas, asking for the gratitude of the gods and Buddhas. β
"Buddhism has always emphasized the 'equality of all beings'. Mortals make offerings to the gods and Buddhas, how can the gods and Buddhas not reciprocate. Even a word of kindness and gratitude will turn into the light of the Buddha in the dark, sheltering mortals. After many lifetimes, this Buddha's virtue can be turned into karma and help mortals become Buddhas. β
"Just now I was discussing the Dharma with a few of their masters in the city, and I mentioned a past incident in the previous life of the Venerable Shanyu. It is said that a few generations ago, the Venerable Shanyu once offered lotus flowers to the people of Dingguang Dao, and Dingguang promised that there would be a day of Buddhahood in the future. β
Qi Yao: "It sounds like this merit, cause and effect, mental power, and good deeds are all an application of humane power?
"It's all a way to accumulate water into a sea, there is no distinction between high and low, each has its own merits. β
As he spoke, Wanshou Mountain was already in sight.
......
Wanshou Mountain, Immortal Danyuan Cave Heaven. The white-haired old man silently transported the original god and traveled nine days and ten places.
Suddenly, the heavens changed, and Ren Hong and the three of them went straight to the concept of immortality.
When he opened his eyes, he stroked his beard and sighed: "These three young people have come to the old way, and they have to give up a few more fruits." β
I remembered that the three of them came back then, and they picked half of their fruit trees. He also stated that he would keep half of it for his own practice. The next time the fruit is ripe, let their apprentices come and pick the other half.
Thinking of this, Lao Dao couldn't help but feel worried.
"I didn't notice it for a while, and when I lost the gambling contract, I was won by them once. β
He was afraid that Ren Hong and the others would take out the documents of the Master of Yuxu and ask for the other half of the bet. Hurriedly instructed Dao Tong: "Tong'er, you quickly go outside to set up a concept of immortality, and beat three ginseng fruits for the guests." β
The reason why the immortal Dao people are willing to fly out of the sky is that they refuse to fly to the sky. One is that he is unwilling to run to block the eyes of the sky, and the other is that he is not at ease with his disciples.
Like the Jade Void Master, he received forty-eight disciples. Most of these disciples turned to the Western Wilderness, and if they did not have their own support, they would never return.
So, he stayed in the world and tried to get back to his apprenticeship.
The two Dao boys beside him were reincarnated as beloved disciples in the past, and now their Dao nature is shallow, and they only have the True Fire Realm.
The two children woke up from their drowsiness, hurriedly cleaned up, went to hunt ginseng fruits, and opened the portal of longevity.
Wanshou Mountain is the spiritual vein of the Western Wilderness, and the old immortal opens up the cave and lives in seclusion all the year round to avoid calamity. As for the immortal temple outside, it is only used by visitors on weekdays.
Ren Hong and the three of them drove the immortal chariot to the foot of Wanshou Mountain, only to see the green shade of the mountain, and the bare mountain did not see half of the Taoist temple.
"It's weird. Didn't you say that the Immortal Life Temple was on the top of the mountain?" Dong Zhu: "Why is there no immortal energy here?"
Qi Yao took a breath of spiritual energy and sighed: "The mountain qi here is pure, showing the appearance of nature. But ......"
There is no true immortal qi of the immortal family.
Ren Hong stared at Wanshou Mountain, and suddenly said: "The Three Qing Dao Unified Refining Method, the so-called immortal qi is the three veins of Yuqing, Shangqing, and Taiqing. The Beidou faction refines the method, and cultivates the star method. Donghua Dao Tong practiced pure yang qi. Counting the Xuanyin Qi and Jian Gang Qi, it is likely that the true yuan of the Immortal Family does not get rid of these attributes. But Wanshou Mountain asks for longevity and seeks the wonder of nature. In this mountain, it is the natural weather, and there is no immortal qi refined by monks. β
"In terms of the truth with nature, it is the best vein of Wanshou Mountain. β
As soon as the words fell, a wisp of white smoke rose from the top of the mountain, and the Taoist temple slowly manifested. The couplet on the left and right wrote: "The immortal immortal mansion is the same as the heavens." β
The two Taoist boys pushed the door and went out, and they greeted them from afar.
"The teacher has an order, please invite the three immortal friends to come in to rest, and receive the grass and return the Dan ceremony. β
Ren Hong stepped forward to return the salute: "The three of my senior brothers came to visit their seniors, not to rest. Instead, I wanted to ask my seniors for a true map of the Nine Lands. β
In the cave, when the immortal Taoist heard this, the Yuan Shen suddenly jumped.
"Good boy, this is going to pull me into the game!"
