Chapter 997: Three Thousand Incarnations

Since then, while Qin Di has been cultivating the "Four Great Emptiness", he has begun to cultivate "Buddha's light shines on the glass shadow".

First of all, he has to derive the three dharmakayas.

The so-called Dharmakaya represents the Buddha's body formed by the condensation of Buddhist truth.

This was very difficult for Qin Di, because although he had memorized many Buddhist scriptures, his Dharma cultivation was not enough. Therefore, he constantly consulted several senior brothers and Master Xuyun, and also participated in the ** debate between his disciples.

There are many disciples under the Bodhi Ancestor, which is equivalent to a large sect of the Immortal Family.

When so many people gather together, in addition to learning from the Master, they have to learn from each other and communicate with each other, so they have a puja every ten years.

At the festival, in addition to inviting masters such as Myosheng, Kusheng, Shanxian, and Shanji**, there will also be discussions around a certain topic, and there will be heated debates about controversial points.

In the past, Qin Di only cared about his own cultivation and rarely participated in such pujas.

Now, while studying the Buddhist scriptures, he has to attend such pujas. Because he can find the answer to the problem.

As the days passed, his Dharma realm was rapidly improving!

Sometimes, he even forgot that he was an immortal cultivator, as if he had been practicing Buddha since he was a child, and he became as calm as water, auspicious, and often pinched flowers and smiled like his master Bodhi Ancestor.

It wasn't until 1,500 years later that he succeeded in deriving three Dharma bodies.

These Dharma Bodies have strong strength, and their power is equivalent to one-tenth of the true body, to be specific, his current true body is the fourth level of the Golden Immortal, then the Law Body is equivalent to the ninth level of the Ancestral Immortal.

Why do you say that, this is because according to tradition, every time an immortal cultivator is promoted to a higher rank, his skill must at least double. From the first weight of the Golden Immortal to the fourth weight of the Golden Immortal, it has risen at least eight times. Therefore, one-tenth of the fourth weight of the Golden Immortal is about equivalent to the ninth weight of the Ancestral Immortal.

With the strength of a ninth-order ancestral immortal, if he is sent out to walk the rivers and lakes, he can also be on his own

After that, he began to cultivate the thirty-two avatars.

The so-called corresponding body refers to the body of the Buddhist monk who changes and appears according to the opportunity in order to transcend sentient beings.

The body is not only in human form, it can manifest as it happens, seeing in heaven as the sky, seeing people as people, seeing animals as animals, seeing hungry ghosts as hungry ghosts, and in hell it appears as hellish body!

It took another 800 years for Qin Di to derive the thirty-two Ying Bodies.

Each body is only equivalent to one percent of the true body's power. For example, his true body is the fourth level of the Golden Immortal, then the corresponding body is about the same as the fifth or sixth level of the Ancestral Immortal. It doesn't seem that his strength is strong, but when his true body is cultivated to the Immortal Emperor in the future, then the strength of his body will also improve, and he may become very powerful.

Then, he began to evolve into three thousand incarnations.

Three thousand incarnations is the minimum required of Patriarch Bodhi for him.

A true Miaojue Bodhisattva can derive 100,000 incarnations, and when he reaches the realm of a Buddha, he can derive hundreds of billions of incarnations!

In the blink of an eye, another five hundred years later, he finally evolved into three thousand incarnations.

The power of each incarnation is only equivalent to one-ten-thousandth of the true body.

For another example, he is now the fourth level of the Golden Immortal, so the power of the incarnation is only equivalent to the late stage of the Heavenly Immortal.

The specific algorithm is as follows, the thirteenth power of two, close to ten thousand, from the fourth level of the Golden Immortal down to the thirteenth order, about the eighth or ninth order of the Heavenly Immortals.

Speaking of which, the strength of the ninth-order heavenly immortal is too far behind that of the golden immortal, but if he leaves the immortal realm and puts it in the mortal world, it is still very powerful.

In today's Ancestral Star Earth, because of the lack of spiritual energy, even Yuan Ying and Buxu Cultivators are rare! Putting a ninth-order Heavenly Immortal there, isn't it a shocking immortal?

The power of an avatar is inversely proportional to the number of avatars. For example, the Nanhai Guanyin Bodhisattva, although she has very high skills, because she has hundreds of billions of incarnations, the strength of each incarnation may only be 1/100 billionth of the true body. Because of this, she joined forces with the other three bodhisattvas, and she couldn't stop Zhao Heng, the incarnation of the Jade Emperor, from absorbing blood and qi in the world!

Although Qin Di only has 3,000 incarnations, in terms of quantity, he is far worse than the Buddhas! However, in terms of the skill of each incarnation, it may not be under the tens of billions of incarnations of the Buddhas.

The power of the Buddhas is also limited. Whether it is an immortal or a Buddha, there is no water without a source, a wood without roots, and every bit of power is accumulated through arduous practice.

Three thousand years have passed, and the Lingshan Festival is about to begin.

On this day, the Bodhi Ancestor called Qin Di over again and said, "When you go to the Lingshan Festival, don't go with your real name 'Qin Ku', how about giving you a Dharma name for the teacher, called 'Wuchen'?"

Qin Di said: "Thank you master, this name is very good, I like it." The disciple would like to ask the master, do you have an apprentice with the Dharma name 'Wukong'?"

Bodhi Ancestor said: "Wukong, he has been kicked out of the division by me, and he doesn't know where to go." ”

"Why did the master drive him away?"

"Wild and untamed, it needs to be sharpened. ”

"Master, what year was that?"

"Not long before you came here. As a teacher, I passed on the somersault cloud and the seventy-two changes to him, so I would not pass on the same exercises to other disciples again, I was afraid that Wukong would cause trouble and transfer the crime to others. ”

Qin Di said in his heart: "If it is said that Wukong has not been driven out for a long time, then the story of havoc in the Heavenly Palace has not yet happened! Maybe Wukong is still in Huaguo Mountain at this moment! But I don't know where Huaguo Mountain is located." ”

I heard the Bodhi Patriarch say: "Apprentice, I don't care what happens to you in the future, I ask you to walk in the Pure Land of the Buddha Sect, only by the Dharma name 'Wuchen', if you go out, you will be called by your real name 'Qin Ku'. Do you remember?"

Qin Di bowed down and said, "The disciple understands, and he doesn't dare to cause trouble to the master. ”

"Okay, this time I went to participate in the Lingshan Festival, in addition to Miaosheng, Kongsheng, Shanxian, Shanji and you, there are also Xuyun, Huiyuan, Yixing, Huaihai, Hongyi, a total of ten people. You follow Senior Brother Miaosheng, he has already participated in the Lingshan Festival five times, if there is anything you don't understand, you can go and ask him. ”

Qin Di was inexplicably happy to hear it, because among these ten people, there were several familiar names!

For example, he was a famous astronomer and Buddhist scholar in the Tang Dynasty, whose real name was Zhang Sui.

Zhang Sui's great-ancestor was Zhang Gongjin, the hero of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Since childhood, Zhang Sui has studied the calendar and the five elements of yin and yang. When he was young, he was famous in Chang'an for his profound knowledge. Later, he was ordained as a monk and named "Yixing". He successively studied Buddhist classics in Songshan, Tiantai Mountain, and Dangyang Mountain. He translated many Buddhist scriptures and later became the leader of Tantra.

He was not only a Buddhist monk, but also an astronomer, who made an armillary sphere and formulated a celestial calendar, and was a character who appeared in secondary school textbooks in later generations.

Another example is Master Hongyi, whose real name is "Li Shutong", that is, the person who wrote "outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, outside the sunset mountain", the most outstanding monk in modern history, "Twenty articles in the sea", "Endless treasures for the eyes of the world, a full moon shines in the heart of the sky". “?

For Qin Di, what interests him the most is that Master Hongyi is proficient in Zen sound and Sanskrit, and he is a great Buddha sound master!

He was a great musician before he became a monk, and his compositions such as "Secluded Residence", "Spring Outing", "Early Autumn", "West Lake", "Farewell", "Falling Flowers", "Sad Autumn", "Evening Bell", "Moon", etc., have beautiful tunes, catchy, amazing, and admirable.

After becoming a monk, Master Hongyi studied Zen sound Brahman, relying on the Buddha's sound and Vinaya cultivation, and advanced to the Bodhisattva of Equal Enlightenment.

For such a character, Qin Di has a feeling of being amazed by the mountains.

"Oh, as a fellow senior brother, how did I know now? I'm really a frog at the bottom of the well, and I hate to see each other late!"

Among these ten senior brothers, he had only seen three or four, and most of them had never seen them.

Because these people either practice in retreat all year round, or go out to teach the Fa, plus Qin Di himself is also practicing in retreat, there are not many opportunities to meet each other.

Patriarch Bodhi waved his hand: "Go, be careful all the way, don't make trouble." ”

Qin Di said: "Thank you for your advice, the disciple has gone." ”
