Chapter Eighty-Six: Heaven and Earth Change Greatly, Dao Ancestors Summon
However, the Turtle Spirit Mother couldn't stand the 'soft knife' of Shakyamuni Buddha, so she directly told the bottom line in her heart, and at the same time told some secrets. Shakyamuni Buddha thought about it several times, but agreed to the proposal of the Turtle Spirit Mother. Then, the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit went back to Dongsheng Shenzhou with Liu'er and others and the demons on Lion Camel Ridge. And Shakyamuni Buddha first instructed Sun Wukong, sent him away, and then turned to everyone and said, "In this way, I will also return to Elysium." ”
When everyone heard this, they naturally had no objections, and then they put away the corpses of the Buddhists and flew away with Shakyamuni Buddha in the clouds. Only Guanyin Bodhisattva refused Shakyamuni Buddha's intention and went back to the purple bamboo forest in the South China Sea.
After Shakyamuni Buddha and the Great Trend Bodhisattva and others rushed back to the West, Shakyamuni Buddha immediately put the Great Trend to the poor monk and others to rest, and he himself invited the ancient Buddha to discuss tomorrow.
Not long after, the ancient Buddha arrived, and Shakyamuni Buddha invited him to a secret room. After sitting down, Shakyamuni Buddha compared all the things on the Lion's Camel Ridge to the ancient Buddha who lit the lamp, and finally asked, "I wonder what the ancient Buddha has to say about this?"
The Ancient Buddha frowned and thought for a moment, and said: "The Buddha's decision does echo the situation at that time, with the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit, even if I make a move, my sect will not be able to take advantage of it." But in this way, my Buddhism has not only lost its face, but even its protégés have fallen a lot, which is bad luck for the great religion", the ancient Buddha looked at Shakyamuni Buddha with some concern.
Shakyamuni Buddha nodded his head and said: "What the ancient Buddha said is very true, but the poor monk had nothing to do at that time. After a pause, he continued: "Moreover, there are words in the words of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother, and the poor monk also has some expectations, but I don't know if it is correct. ”
Hearing this, the ancient Buddha was slightly stunned, and then asked, "What does the Buddha expect?"
Shakyamuni Buddha lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "That Turtle Spirit Holy Mother is the truth, and before long, the protégé will become more important than the spirit treasure." It was after hearing these words that the poor monk made up his mind to let this go through this period in order to save his protégé. The poor monk expected that something big would happen soon, and that was why the Turtle Spirit Mother would be like this. "Well, Shakyamuni Buddha's eyes flashed, and the 'big event' naturally represents great benefits, but this makes Shakyamuni Buddha's heart move.
The ancient Buddha listened to Shakyamuni Buddha's words, but he was not as optimistic as him, thought for a while, and said worriedly: "But if this matter is a false news deliberately released by the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit, then wouldn't it be a bamboo basket to hang water?"
Shakyamuni Buddha said with a smile: "The ancient Buddha doesn't need to worry, the poor monk's calculation may not be as good as the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother, but when it is the turn of this confession to be true or false, the poor monk may not necessarily lose her." ”
Hearing this, the ancient Buddha glanced at Shakyamuni Buddha with suspicion. It is no wonder that the ancient Buddha of the Burning Lamp doubted that if Shakyamuni Buddha could seriously distinguish between truth and falsehood, then how could he have gone to the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit before?
Shakyamuni Buddha saw the face of the ancient Buddha who burned the lamp, and after a little thought, he knew his thoughts. Immediately coughed embarrassedly, and said, "The Turtle Spirit Holy Mother didn't lie about the previous matter, she did send a dilemma to teach me." What followed may have been an afterthought. Well, he glanced at the ancient Buddha with some embarrassment.
Listening to Sakyamuni's words, the ancient Buddha raised his eyebrows and said secretly: "That's true, I thought that the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit was just a bargain for me to have the same intention of 'thirty-six numbers'. Who would have thought that he would do something in this 'dilemma' and what Sakyamuni said was not bad, maybe the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit was really calculated later. ”
Thinking of this, the ancient Buddha of the lamp was sure in his heart, then looked at Shakyamuni Buddha and asked, "Since the Buddha is so confident, I don't know what the Buddha has planned for this matter?"
Shakyamuni Buddha smiled slightly and said, "Since the protégé of the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit will be more important than the spiritual treasure, then we will open the mountain gate and accept the protégé widely, so as to deal with the future." I wonder what the ancient Buddha thought?"
The ancient Buddha frowned, and said with some concern: "But the Buddha didn't promise the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit, my protégé must not cross 10,000 people, so wantonly accept disciples, how can the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit give up?"
Shakyamuni Buddha's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Ten thousand people are enough, how many disciples does the ancient Buddha think can there be in that person, expounding, and intercepting the three sects?"
Hearing this, the ancient Buddha's eyes lit up, and then he smiled slightly, and said, "I'm afraid that the sum of their three sects is less than 10,000 people." "The ancient Buddha of the lamp understands in his heart that Lao Tzu and the original two are not able to accept too many protégés, especially Lao Tzu, so far there is only one protégé of Xuandu Master, and there are not many named protégés, only a few people with long eyebrows and eight immortals. And Xuandu Shi and others were influenced by Lao Tzu, and they never overtook their protégés. Naturally, it is not as good as Buddhism.
As for the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, he attaches too much importance to his life experience, and he is not able to accept disciples on a large scale. And his protégés are all arrogant, looking down on people who have attained the Tao of different kinds, but the prestige of the Terran is limited, and there are not many protégés of the Terran race, so how can there be many disciples?
And the rest of the sect interception is also unlikely, although the master of the Tongtian Sect has no class, but the disciples he receives are less than the primordial Tianzun, if it is not for the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother and others are still competitive, and they have received a lot of disciples, the interception of the sect may be worse than the exposition of the teaching.
Therefore, no matter how hard the three teachings of human, expounding, and intercepting are, it may not be able to surpass Buddhism in terms of numbers.
Listening to the words of the ancient Buddha, Shakyamuni Buddha nodded his head and said with a smile: "Yes, the other three sects will not be able to surpass my sect in terms of numbers, even if our sect is connected to the current situation, it is not possible to no longer recruit protégés." In this way, if what Our Lady of the Turtle Spirit said is serious, then our religion will surely be able to flourish. By the end, Shakyamuni Buddha was overjoyed and had a smile on his face.
The ancient Buddha who lit the lamp also chuckled, then lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "Since the Buddha has made up his mind, there are not many poor monks." The Buddha can do it with peace of mind, and the poor monks will definitely do their best to help. ”
Hearing this, Shakyamuni Buddha waved his hand and said, "The poor monk invited the ancient Buddha to come this time, just to hear the opinion of the ancient Buddha. I wonder if the ancient Buddha thinks it is better for my religion to connect with the status quo for the time being, or should he immediately open the mountain gate and recruit protégés?"
Hearing this, the ancient Buddha frowned, and then began to think about it.
After a while, the ancient Buddha looked up at Shakyamuni Buddha and said, "According to the poor monks, it is better for us to connect with the status quo for the time being." The Buddha also knew that it would not be long before the Heavenly Dao would grow, and we would naturally not be able to let our disciples miss such a great opportunity. But if you recruit protégés at this time, I'm afraid it will be a bit of a delay. Moreover, maintaining the status quo can also make the sectarians relax their vigilance against our sect, but it kills two birds with one stone. I wonder what the Buddha thought?"
Listening to the words of the ancient Buddha, Shakyamuni Buddha was overjoyed and said: "What the ancient Buddha said is very true, and the poor monks also think it is so good. After a pause, he said with some concern: "But listening to the words of Our Lady of the Turtle Spirit, it seems that when the next eons are met, there will be 'this' situation, so the poor monk is a little hesitant." His face was full of sorrow.
Seeing that Shakyamuni Buddha looked worried, the ancient Buddha smiled and said, "Why should the Buddha be worried? According to the poor monks, this is the Turtle Spirit Mother deliberately misleading the Buddha. You must know that no matter how their three teachings grow, their number will not exceed that of our teachings. In this case, why should the Buddha be in a hurry? The Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit also thought that she could see this point clearly, so she deliberately pointed it out and made it clear that my protégé would miss this opportunity. After that, the ancient Buddha looked at Shakyamuni Buddha with a confident face.
It is not as keen as the sense of the ancient Buddha who does not burn the lamp, and the reason why the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit has set the time as the next calamity is precisely because of this calculation. Because the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother and the others were all preparing for the growth of the Heavenly Dao in the near future, they could not be distracted by the disciples. In this way, the gap with Buddhism will become bigger and bigger, in view of this, the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit has planned to let Buddhism lose this opportunity, so that even if Buddhism has many protégés, if it can't keep up, then the gap between them is still very large.
At that moment, Shakyamuni Buddha listened to the words of the ancient Buddha who lit the lamp, his eyes immediately lit up, and he said happily: "What the ancient Buddha said is reasonable, and the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit probably really has this intention." Since this is the case, then we will do our best to prepare for the growth of the Heavenly Dao, and we will wait for other things. After a pause, he smiled again: "And, after this time, the dust has settled on the Journey to the West, and we don't need to be distracted by this, just prepare for this." ”
Hearing this, the ancient Buddha smiled and nodded.
After that, the ancient Buddha did not return to his own dojo, but stayed directly in the Elysian World, discussing the Tao with Shakyamuni Buddha or cultivating.
Time flies, and a hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.
At this time, the four masters and apprentices of Tang Sanzang had obtained the true scriptures, and the journey to the west was over, and the four masters and apprentices of Tang Sanzang were also enshrined by Shakyamuni Buddha. Among them, Tang Sanzang was named the Buddha of Zhantan Merit, Sun Wukong was named the Buddha of Fighting Victory, Zhu Bajie was named the messenger of the Pure Altar, Sha Wujing was named the Golden Arhat, and the White Dragon Horse was named the Eight Heavenly Dragons.
However, although Zhu Bajie was sealed, he never stayed in the West, but turned back to Shouyang Mountain and went to Xuandu Shi to return to his life. Sha Wujing was persuaded by Guanyin Bodhisattva to officially betray the teachings and become a protégé of Buddhism.
Buddhism has gained a lot of benefits from this study of scriptures. Not otherwise, the merit obtained after the journey to the west is enough to make the Buddhist people smile, Guanyin Bodhisattva is to use this merit to cut off the evil corpse, the fourth master of Buddhism to cut off the two corpses, and the first three are naturally Shakyamuni Buddha, the ancient Buddha of the lamp, and the Buddha of the Great Ri.
Maitreya Buddha, Manjushri Bodhisattva, and Puxian Bodhisattva saw that Guanyin Bodhisattva had this opportunity, and they were all jealous. I regret why I didn't take over the Journey to the West in the first place, and I really regret that I didn't take the opportunity in vain.
In addition, after the Buddhist scriptures were spread to the east, many people in Nanzhan Buzhou also began to believe in Buddhism. Moreover, Shakyamuni Buddha also played a trick on top of this, kneading the entire forty scriptures into thirty-six and passing them on to Tang Sanzang. In this way, although the teachings of Buddhism are still incomplete, they are better than the only 36 teachings.
After a hundred years of growth, the number of Buddhist believers in Nanzhan Buzhou gradually increased, and they began to stand side by side with human religion and expounding religion, and Buddhism finally got its wish, rushing out of the barren Xiniu Hezhou and began to extend its influence to Nanzhan Buzhou.
Although the two religions of the people and the two religions were dissatisfied with this, they also used their local advantages to suppress Buddhism many times. However, the power of Buddhism has been established, and an inexhaustible stream of Buddhist protégés has poured into Nanzhan Buzhou from Xiniu Hezhou, which has made Buddhism's momentum overshadow and expound the two religions. Therefore, the two religions of people and expounding on Buddhism were also helpless about this, and after suppressing them for a while, they saw that the effect was not satisfactory, so they turned a blind eye and acquiesced in the existence of Buddhism.
Since then, Nanzhan Buzhou has begun to form a three-legged situation, with the coexistence of people, interpretation, and Buddhism.
On this day, the Earth Immortal Realm was as calm as before, and it was getting closer and closer to the growth of the Heavenly Dao, and many monks were preparing for this, so the Earth Immortal Realm was very calm. Only a few people wander around visiting relatives and friends.
Suddenly, only a loud "boom" was heard, and many monks in the Earth Immortal Realm were puzzled when they heard this. But before they could think about what was going on, they felt a shaking in the four continents, especially the monks in the North Julu Continent, who felt the sky spinning, and the roaring sound continued to be in their ears.
At the same time, the saints who were in the chaos also sensed it slightly, and the saints who were originally cultivating were frowning when they saw this, and then they released their divine senses and probed to the earth immortal realm to see what was going on.
At first glance, even if everyone had saint cultivation, they were all surprised. But seeing that in the chaos outside Beiju Luzhou, there was a continent that connected to Beiju Luzhou, and the two gradually began to merge. The breadth of this continent is unimaginable, and it is twice as large as Beiju Luzhou. However, the saints found that there was not the slightest living creature in this continent today.
Seeing this situation, all the saints were overjoyed, even if it was heavenly, it was also an inexplicable surprise.
"If you can occupy this continent and grow your own sect, why worry about the lack of luck of the Great Sect?" all the saints thought secretly in their hearts.
After thinking about it, everyone showed a face that was bound to win, and then they were ready to recruit their protégés to come and plan to order them to enter this continent and take the lead.
It's a pity that before the saints acted, the mutation was reborn.
"Come to Zixiao Palace as soon as possible, there is something to tell you about the poor road. This voice instantly sounded in the ears of all the saints.
Listening to this eternal voice that defies the world, all the saints were shocked. This voice was all too familiar to them, it was the voice of Daozu Hongjun.
"At this time, if it is not the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth, what will happen to the Dao Ancestors?" the saints couldn't help but think in their hearts. However, when they thought of the strange situation in Beiju Luzhou, the saints immediately became stunned. Such a big event occurred in Beiju Luzhou, and the Dao Ancestor who was in charge of the Heavenly Dao naturally knew about it, and it must be for this reason to invite them to go.
Thinking of this, all the saints were sure in their hearts, and then they got up one after another, went out of their respective dojos, and rushed to Zixiao Palace
