Chapter 637: Buddhism and the Underworld
Of course, it is not easy to make Empress Bao Yueguang and King Jingdeshi, who have no cultivation themselves, become Buddhas.
Although cultivating Buddha is different from ordinary cultivating immortals, after all, it requires a large amount of merit and faith power, which is difficult for Buddhists who have not accumulated a lot of money to pay so much price to achieve Empress Bao Yueguang and King Jingdeshi.
If it is said that the original stupid root asked the Buddhist family, then the price that the stupid root and the underworld need to pay must be very great.
However, the current situation is completely different, and it is the Buddhists who are vying for stupid roots.
If the soul of the golden cicada has entered the underworld and has become the object of the fool's hand, if the fool's root is unhappy and the soul of the golden cicada is wiped out, the Buddha nature that has been consumed by eight or nine out of ten may be completely dissipated, and the hundreds of years of planning of the Buddhist family will become a mirror.
This time, for the soul of the golden cicada, the Buddhists are bound to get, so the three major Buddhas have to be polite.
Therefore, when Shakyamuni, Amitabha Buddha and Medicine Buddha came to the underworld, they were not only respectful but respectful in the face of the stupid root sitting on the top: "Brother Dao, I am polite." ”
Silly Gen asked politely for some reason: "Three Buddha elders, I don't know what is the important thing to come to the underworld today?"
It turns out that there was a period of cause and effect before the stupid root and the Buddhists.
Ever since the world of Zhihao became a part of hell with the Netherworld, the underworld has become the world of fools.
After so many years of hard work, Silly Gen finally completed the book of life and death, and the judge's pen restored its original power, especially the combination of the reincarnation pool and hell to be responsible for the reincarnation of sentient beings, which made the underworld a powerful party and a force that all forces did not dare to despise.
And the fact that the underworld is responsible for reincarnation has become a coveted place for all parties, and some forces want to put their hands into the underworld, especially Buddhism.
At the beginning, after the Buddhists obtained the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, this idea became even stronger, and they wanted to occupy a territory in the underworld.
The Eight Treasures Merit Pool is mysterious and abnormal, and it is built by gathering the infinite luck and merit of Buddhism.
No matter how many injuries you have suffered, as long as there is still a wisp of remnant soul, you can recover when you enter the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, and even the lost cultivation can be repaired!
He had sent the king of Jizo to enter the underworld and seek a special passage for the dead disciples of the Buddhist family - their souls did not enter the pool of reincarnation, but were directly transferred to the pool of merit of the Eight Treasures for reincarnation.
Once this idea is realized, it will be extremely beneficial to the development of Buddhism.
Just imagine, if a Buddhist disciple dies, he can be reincarnated in the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, so he doesn't have to worry about death, then there will be a large number of living beings practicing Buddhist magic.
Therefore, there was a fierce struggle between the Buddhists and the underworld.
Although the Buddhism family has the three elders of Shakyamuni, Amitabha Buddha and Medicine Buddha, and their strength is extraordinary, who is the stupid root, it is Zhang Haotian, the true saint and Han Zhen who support him.
What's more, the underworld is a world of its own, no matter how strong the strength of the Buddhists is, they will also be suppressed in the underworld, and in the end, the idea of the Buddhists has not been realized, but has suffered heavy losses, and a large number of Buddhist children have been wiped out of the Buddha nature in the underworld, and the Buddhists have also been driven out of the underworld.
Therefore, when the three of Shakyamuni entered the underworld, it was somewhat embarrassing, and Sakyamuni said: "Don't hide it from Brother Dao, I have a disciple who was killed for no reason, and his soul has already entered the underworld, please be accommodating?"
When Silly Gen heard about the golden cicada, he pretended to be surprised and said, "There is such a thing? I don't know!
After speaking, Silly Gen flipped through the book of life and death, pretending to check it carefully, but he was speechless for a while.
Shakyamuni hurriedly said, "Brother Dao, can you find out?"
Silly Gen groaned: "I found it, I found it, but it's ......"
Shakyamuni somewhat understood the stupid root's approach, and said hurriedly: "Brother Dao, please be accommodating, I will agree to anything!"
Shakyamuni presided over the recognition, and Queen Bao Yueguang and King Jingde naturally became the Buddha of Pure Virtue and the Buddha of Bao Yueguang.
As mentioned earlier, the position of two Buddha elders is not so easy to obtain.
After all, Empress Bao Yueguang and King Jingde Shi have no cultivation, even if there is a secret method of Buddhism, plus the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, it also needs to consume a lot of merit and faith accumulated by the Buddhist family, and in addition, it also needs some chances.
Therefore, Shakyamuni proposed: "In order for Buddhism to develop, it is necessary for the prefecture to give up a boundary as the place where Buddhism is reincarnated!"
As the lord of the underworld, Silly Gen is often revered as the lord of the house.
Because there was a dispute between the Buddhist family and the underworld over this matter before, Silly Gen was a little hesitant.
Shakyamuni said: "Empress Bao Yueguang and King Jingde Shi can prolong their lives by practicing Buddhism, but it is extremely difficult to become a Buddha. ”
In this regard, Silly Gen is also a person who understands, and finally agreed to this condition, and opened up a boundary in the underworld, so that the Buddha's Dizang can settle in, so that the disciples of the Buddhist family can be easily resurrected.
Of course, Silly Gen also has an agreement that Jizo must not interfere in the affairs of the underworld, and once there is the necessary soul of the underworld, Jizo must give it up.
In the end, Shakyamuni said: "There is another matter, which is related to the future of the Journey to the West Buddhism, and I also ask the government to give convenience." ”
Silly Gen asked: "Since there is a matter of the Pure Virtue Buddha and the Treasure Moonlight Buddha, we are allies, but it doesn't hurt to say something." ”
Shakyamuni said: "There is a small matter in the future, and I ask the government to cooperate with one or two when it comes." ”
Silly Gen also knew about the journey to the west, and his heart said that it must be a trip to the Tang Wang's underworld, so he naturally understood it, and said: "This is a family, and I will cooperate." ”
After some compromise and agreement between the Buddhists and the stupid roots, the three Buddha elders Shakyamuni, Amitabha Buddha and Medicine Buddha left the underworld with the soul of the golden cicada.
This time, the Buddhists have paid a lot, and of course they have gained a lot.
Not to mention that the golden cicada was reincarnated again in the southern Ganbu continent, it is said that the Buddhists can open up a territory in the underworld, which is a major event that the Buddhists are looking forward to and related to the development of the Buddhists.
With this realm, the future development of Buddhism will naturally be much smoother.
In addition, although Empress Bao Yueguang and King Jingde Shi will spend a lot of luck and merit, judging from the fact that the foolish root is willing to pay a place in the underworld, the Buddhist family is equivalent to a strong ally in the underworld, and the Buddhist family is not a loss.
It is precisely because of understanding the key to this that the Buddhists are very concerned about the matter of Empress Bao Yueguang and King Jingde, and finally Queen Bao Yueguang and King Jingde Shi achieved Jingde Buddha and Bao Yueguang Buddha.
When the Buddha of Pure Virtue and the Buddha of Treasure Moonlight were attained, Hanzhen issued a holy oracle and was personally named the Buddha.
Buddha is not an ordinary title, so far only the three Shakyamuni, Amitabha Buddha and Medicine Buddha, who opened up the world of Buddhism, can be called Buddha.
The Buddha also represents the highest achievement recognition of the Buddha family by the heavenly court, and only the Monkey King in later generations, that is, the fight to defeat the Buddha is also called the Buddha, of course, this is a later story.
