Chapter 26 Yuan Monk
Li Haocheng was not very worried about Xu Longtu's speculation, the jade talisman Qingguang appeared in his eyes, and when he looked up at the core of the Western Fanzhou, he saw that in the pale golden light, there was a substantial pure land emerging.
The Pure Land is suspended above the infinite light of the Buddha, which is full of light, the flat ground is glass-colored, among which the building Emperor Qingbao is made of bricks, the ground is paved with gold and silver, and there are various colored gems as decorations on various buildings, countless heavenly incense treasure trees, Bodhi treasure trees, Supo treasure trees, bay leaf treasure trees, arranged in rows, hanging ribbons on the branches, or hanging bells, a deity around the pure land softly singing praises of the holiness and purity of this place.
The divine light and the Buddha's light intersected, turning into ten thousand golden glows, thousands of colored flames, forming on the periphery of the Pure Land, and like breathing, swelling and shrinking from the Brahma to attract a faintly emerging Buddha's light from the soul and some turbid breath.
Among them, the soul is transformed into a celestial and human appearance in the light and flame, or is reincarnated in the pure land, or is blessed by the Buddha's light and becomes a protector deity, taking the place of a god and maintaining the operation of the light and flame. As for the aura that came with them, it was offset by the light flames on the periphery, although each time it was canceled, a little light flame would be consumed.
But in general, the positive and negative energies of the entire Western Brahma are still in a state of equilibrium. According to Li Haocheng's calculations, if there is no stimulation from external forces, this cycle may be able to operate permanently, and it will become more and more stable, and even gradually spread to the periphery.
"But this cycle can't continue after all!" Li Haocheng looked at those Dharma protector deities living on the periphery of the Pure Land, through the divine light of the Xuandu Heavenly Master, Li Haocheng could feel that those gods had been contaminated with a trace of heavenly court breath, and this wisp of aura would gradually help them get rid of the Buddha's path.
Although I don't know how many of these gods have completely thrown themselves into Buddhism, as long as one percent of the gods want to get out of their situation, they can cause the collapse of the current cycle, and many Buddhist monks in Brahma obviously know the mysteries, so they do not hesitate to let some believers who can become gods become protectors, in order to use this method to alleviate their dependence on Shinto.
But this method is obviously tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall, not to mention whether the Buddhist and Taoist gods transformed by those believers can replace the natural gods and maintain the harmonious coexistence of the Pure Land and Jiuzhou, let's just say that the successful departure or status of the first god will inevitably cause the other gods to leave and rise.
But behind the seeming tolerance of Buddhism, there is actually a very terrible exclusivity, all power systems, if you can't respect the Buddha, you will definitely not be able to go to a high position.
In this way, the conflict between Sanskrit Shinto and Buddhism will inevitably become more and more intense, and in the case that Buddhism cannot eradicate Shinto, no matter how weak Shinto is, it will inevitably win the final victory.
"I don't know what the Buddha's plan is now?" Li Haocheng secretly deduced it in his heart, and found that no matter what, the Buddha Dao had no chance of winning, so he just ignored it, and was ready to go to the next place with Xu Longtu, but he didn't want the two of them to leave yet, but they heard a Buddha call: "Amitabha!"
Then I saw a white-eyed monk walk to Li Haocheng and Xu Longtu step by step, and many people below saw such a scene, and immediately knelt on the ground and bowed, and a little bit of wish power gathered, and turned into a circle of spiritual light behind the old monk's head to spread, and the believers below were suddenly even more pious.
The old monk walked up to Li Haocheng and the others, folded his hands and asked Li Haocheng: "Dare to ask where this mage is practicing, why do you want to help this immortal person and attract the Buddha's light?"
Xu Longtu was surprised in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he just pretended to be annoyed, and said: "You monk is so unreasonable, although I am a little fatter, why am I not a person in Buddhism? Could it be that my Buddha alone is not a fake?"
But I heard the old monk laugh and said: "Although you are dressed as a Buddha, but the Buddha's light is vain, but the inside is faintly revealing the breath of the fairy road, obviously the people in the fairy road with the help of the Buddha treasure to cover up, although the technique is mysterious, but it can't hide from me." I think that your cultivation is also the best magic method of the Immortal Dao, so why do you have to cover it up so much, and ruin your own name in vain?"
When Li Haocheng heard this, he couldn't help but glance at the old monk, don't look at what he said simply, but in fact, Xu Longtu, as a true disciple of the Duobao Immortal Sect and a descendant of the Heavenly Immortal Realm monks, may not have less magical powers than Li Haocheng.
In all fairness, if Li Haocheng hadn't known in advance, and without the help of the jade talisman Qingguang, he wouldn't have been completely sure that he would be able to see Xu Longtu's disguise at a glance, and the old monk in front of him was not much higher than Xu Longtu's cultivation, but he could see that there were obviously some doorways, that is, he asked: "The poor monk came from Middle Earth, but he doesn't know where the master came from? What did I do wrong just now?"
"It turned out to be a mage from Middle-earth. The old monk nodded, and said with a smile: "Under the is the abbot of the Qingshui Temple below, the Dharma number is Shangyuan Xiadu, as for your question, in fact, you haven't done anything wrong, even if you don't do it at this time, after seven or eight days, the Buddha's light will naturally fall." It's just that you are now triggering the Buddha's light in advance, but the cause and effect of harming this temple and the donor below are a little complicated. That's why I had to ask. ”
"What a joke!" Before Li Haocheng could reply, he heard Xu Longtu speak first: "If you trigger the Buddha's light in advance, it will cause you and the person below to change in cause and effect, and the causal qi of the entire Western Fanzhou will not be controlled by the Buddha's light?"
The old monk Yuandu smiled and didn't speak, but asked Li Haocheng: "Although the master is from Middle Earth, I want to know the saying of offering lotus in front of the Buddha!"
Li Haocheng was stunned for a moment, there are countless sayings about offering lotus in front of the Buddha in the Buddhist classics, and even many Buddhist scriptures that declare the origin of the Bodhisattva and the Buddha clearly indicate that the Buddha and the Bodhisattva offered the lotus in front of the table of a certain Buddha a long time ago, and got the enlightenment, and then practiced to become a Buddha and a Bodhisattva.
Therefore, the Buddha offers lotus in Jiuzhou Buddhism has the saying of master and apprentice cause and effect.
Li Haocheng thought for a while, and said with the method of Buddhism: "The node of the Buddha's light here lies in your Qingshui Temple? The Buddha's light I just triggered belongs to your Qingshui Temple, and the Buddha's light that will fall in the future will come from the Pure Land?"
The smile on the face of the old monk of Yuandu suddenly became two points kinder, and he also said: "It is true, all those who have resentment because of the reincarnation of the past life, after continuing to resend the Tao in their hearts to a certain extent, will trigger the light of the Pure Land Buddha and take over the cause and effect. But now, Master, you have induced the Buddha's light in advance, which still belongs to our Shimizu Temple, so that the Shimizu Temple and the donor will receive cause and effect, but we need to go to the Buddha to reduce one or two. ”
"Why don't you directly enter the door?" Li Haocheng said with some curiosity: "Although that person's qualifications are not decided, I think his wisdom is good, and he may not have a creation in the future?"
"Hey!" the old monk Yuandu sighed and said: "It's not that we don't want to, but we can't, as the so-called 'only hear about learning, but don't hear about teaching', although the Dharma is vast, he has never sought the Dharma like us, how can we teach it?"
"Could it be that if they ask you for the Fa, you will teach it?" Li Haocheng was a little surprised, but he was a little disapproving, as far as the current situation of the Western Fanzhou is concerned, it is obvious that among the four veins of Buddhism left here, there are many people who just hope that the Buddhist Taoist theories and Buddhist scriptures will be spread to the outside world, but the core of how to practice the Dharma is relatively tightly guarded, and he is not willing to spread it easily.
No, the old monk nodded and shook his head and said: "I don't know about others, but as long as they are willing to come to me, I am willing to teach them how to practice the Dharma, but many times they have resentment in their hearts, and after learning the Dharma, they can't understand the subtlety, but they are easily attracted by the cause and effect of successive lives, and fall into the outer path of pursuing supernatural powers." ”
Li Haocheng bowed down with some respect: "Master Dade!"
In his opinion, no matter what the reason for Yuandu to do this, people who can go against the general trend of the world for the sake of others are worthy of respect, not to mention that in his opinion, Yuandu's approach may be the most suitable for the current Western Fanzhou.
