Out of the Blue Emperor Palace, Ye Haotian looked around, but he didn't see Qu Yuan, nor did he see Wu Yang's figure.

When I asked, I learned that both of them had already returned to Kunlun Sacred Mountain.

Qu Yuan said that he would personally prepare the best spices, but he was not at ease when others prepared them.

Ye Haotian had no choice but to leave Antares with a little regret and fly to the Earth Star on the Hanhai Shenzhou.

As long as the remaining green milk is handed over to the Yellow Emperor, the task entrusted by the Red Emperor has been completed.

Along the way, Lan'er kept playing the song "Driving Debate", wanting to grasp the essence of it as soon as possible.

Ye Haotian threw aside the Spring Breeze and Rain Divine Skill, and quietly pondered the words left on the stone tablet by the four great Confucians: "Gou said new, said new, said new, and stopped at the best." What is the truth of these simple aphorisms? Why are they highly respected by the great Confucians? Can these few words alone make the skill improve by leaps and bounds?

He thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't find the answer to his question, so he had to give up for the time being, and leave it for the future to slowly understand.

Half a day later, Hanhai Shenzhou arrived at Yangxixing with ease.

This time they were not hindered in the slightest, and soon met the Yellow Emperor himself.

It's amazing that the Yellow Emperor is writing a book in the study!

He used a large talisman pen dipped in cinnabar and wrote on gold leaf, and there were stacks of thick gold leaf around him, and behind him was a whole row of bookshelves with hundreds of books made of gold leaf.

Seeing such a situation, Ye Haotian sighed with emotion, it seems that almost all the works of the Yellow Emperor who are circulating outside are written by himself!

This emperor of the world and the supreme emperor of the fairy world has never stopped writing, sparing no effort to sum up his experience and write books, how can it not be extremely admirable!

The Yellow Emperor looked up and saw the two of them, beckoned them to come in and sit down, and asked about the farewell with a smile on his face.

Ye Haotian told him about seeing the Jade Emperor in Middle-earth and returning to the Heavenly Realm to worship several emperors, and then took out a jar of weak water three-bead milk tea and carefully placed it on the ground.

Hearing this, the Yellow Emperor's calm heart was also a little excited, and he said with great relief: "As long as the Red Emperor and the Black Emperor can hold out for three or five months, I will be able to prepare dozens of super artifacts, and when the time comes, I will have a saturation attack, even if the true god skill is high, it will be unbearable." However, there is only one chance for this saturation attack, and if one blow misses, the true god will surely drift away, and it will be difficult to catch him again. Therefore, at present, we must not be surprised by the snake, we must act carefully and prepare carefully, so as to achieve a fatal blow. ”

Then he stroked the jar containing the weak water Sanzhu milk tea with his hand, and said excitedly: "These milk teas are very valuable! With them, we are like a tiger with wings! If we can cut off the minions of the true god first, it will be much more convenient in the final battle." ”

At this moment, Lan'er looked at the Yellow Emperor's approachable and amiable appearance, and suddenly remembered the Red Emperor's almost ridiculous words: "That old guy is very dragged, just give him a jar of milk tea!" So he laughed softly: "Ask the emperor, did you fight with the Red Emperor back then?" He said that you always bullied him, so he only gave you a jar of milk tea. I wonder if one jar is enough?"

The Yellow Emperor was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but then he understood, a slightly meaningful smile appeared on his face, and said: "I don't have many heavenly soldiers under my hands, and a jar of milk tea is enough." The Red Emperor is the Yan Emperor praised by the people, and he is my own brother. I grew up by the water of Hime, so my surname is Hime. He grew up near ginger water, so his surname is ginger. We grew up playing a lot. At that time, everyone was very young and bored, so they often deliberately found trivial activities to move their muscles. Once the two of them got into a fight, and agreed to decide the winner in a battle, so they fought seriously in Zhuolu no Ye for a few months, and I won. I didn't expect him to have been obsessed with it for so many years. ”

Ye Haotian laughed when he heard it.

Lan'er also smiled lightly, and then said with some concern: "This catastrophe is not trivial, the Red Emperor is fighting alone, the situation is critical, I am really afraid that something will happen to him." Do you know? He even handed over the Burning Mountain Wood Master to my son-in-law!"

Hearing this, the smile on the Yellow Emperor's face froze, and he shook his head slightly, and sighed: "The Red Emperor, like the Black Emperor, is a person with a straight surname, who likes to die and live later, and refuses to change things. The Black Emperor belongs to water, the water potential is downward, and the magic skills practiced are exquisite to yin to cold, and the killing is ruthless. And the Red Emperor belongs to fire, the fire surname is hot, and the yang is steaming, and he often sleeps endlessly for one thing, forgetting to sleep and eat. They are all too stubborn to know the reason why they are not afraid of no firewood to burn. Your fears are justified. Alas, the catastrophe of the world...... Red Emperor ...... It's hard to say...... In fact, it is also a good thing to hand over the Burning Mountain Wood Master, and it can be regarded as a rainy day. ”

Ye Haotian felt out with a heavy mood the Burning Mountain Wood Lord, the Dragon Master Shenqi, the Xuangong Yuyue and the Seal of the Open Heaven Tongzhen, held it in both hands and dedicated it to the Yellow Emperor, and said respectfully: "The tokens of the four emperors are here, the kid is immoral and incompetent, and he has low skills, he dare not hold it, and dare to ask you to control it! Your old man's home is in the center, there is yin in the yang, there is yang in the yin, the main center operates, and all things evolve, so he naturally has the important task of controlling the world and integrating the world's soldiers and horses." ”

The Yellow Emperor took the four artifacts from his hand, looked at them one after another for a long time, and then suddenly raised his head and looked at Ye Haotian with burning eyes, and said: "Last time, you broke through the heavens with one word, which made me suddenly improve my skills, and the conversion method used was simply magical, how did you know such a wonderful method?"

Ye Haotian said frankly: "The disciple was fortunate to read the handwritten book of Tianzun, and with the help of the Bodhi tree, he accidentally participated in the method of mutual transformation of the Dan heart. ”

The Yellow Emperor's eyes were fixed on him, and then he asked: "Nuwa Niangniang has been in retreat for a long time, and the formation of Xianyan Valley is so strange that the Queen Mother can't enter, how did you get in?"

Ye Haotian didn't want to hide it any longer, so he resolutely took out the turtle mirror, looked back at the other party with his eyes, and replied very sincerely: "The disciple is fortunate to have the help of the Heavenly Treasure Mirror, so that he can have many adventures and break through the formation of Xianyan Valley to see Nuwa Niangniang. ”

The Yellow Emperor nodded with satisfaction, then glanced at the turtle mirror, and couldn't help but praise repeatedly: "The legendary 'Baixiao Treasure Mirror' has also appeared! This is another heaven-opening artifact! You have five or six of the nine treasures, right?"

Ye Haotian replied to the letter: "The disciple already has the Seven Treasures, but he still lacks the Heavenly God Axe and the Yin and Yang Falun. It's a pity that Falun has been turned into a magic weapon by the true gods, and it can't be counted among the nine treasures. If it is replaced by the Heavenly Ruler, it can also be said that the disciple has the Eight Treasures in his body. ”

At this time, the Yellow Emperor Fu put the four artifacts back into Ye Haotian's hands, and said with great emotion: "Before Tianzun left, he once convened the Jade Emperor, the Buddha and our five old emperors to discuss the matter, mentioning the process of scattering the Nine Treasures back then, saying that he wanted to select the most proud disciples in this way, and told us to help him always pay attention. So we have always been very concerned, and often as soon as we hear about the existence of Jiubao, we immediately run over to inspect it. But we were all disappointed by the fact that either the treasure was fake, or the person who received the treasure was clearly not a good person. It wasn't until recently that I heard that you had an artifact to open the heavens, and you were upright and talented, and you were running around to save the world's catastrophe, and I felt that you were very much like the heir that Tianzun was looking for, so we hit it off at first sight and competed to offer you treasures. Speaking of this, his eyes narrowed into a line, "hehe" smiled: "Otherwise, how could it be so easy?"

Ye Haotian didn't expect that there was such a reason, and couldn't help but laugh and say: "I said that the five old emperors are so easy to speak, and they believe me, a strange junior, just by a few words, and they are so important to me, it turns out that it is not because of me, it is just to give Tianzun face......"

The Yellow Emperor was afraid of hurting his self-esteem, so he hurriedly corrected with a smile: "Of course, they did not hesitate to hand over the token to you, not only for the sake of you being the descendant of Tianzun, but mainly because you yourself can be cultivated and have made great contributions to saving the world catastrophe." Speaking of this, he suddenly said with a glint in his eyes: "I'm not bad, I will pass on the 'Yellow Heaven and Thick Earth Divine Skill' to you when we meet for the first time, and you should be content!"

Ye Haotian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and thought to himself, "When did you pass on my divine skills?" Why don't I know?"

The Yellow Emperor looked at him puzzled, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why? Haven't you realized it yet? As a descendant of Tianzun, don't let me down!"

Ye Haotian carefully recalled the situation when he saw the Yellow Emperor, but his mind was still blank, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The jade pendant you always read to me is all related to music theory, not like it contains internal strength;

The Yellow Emperor smiled and nodded, and said, "Yes, the first and most important part of the exercises I practice is called 'Face the Earth and Clear Heart'. The 'Yellow Heaven and Thick Earth Divine Skill' is comprehended from the rest of the soil, and giving you the rest of the soil is passing on your magic skills. ”

Ye Haotian's heart shook suddenly, and he felt that he understood a lot at once, but it was not very clear. He knew that the opportunity in front of him was very rare, so he bowed down and saluted: "The disciple is dull, please ask the emperor to make it clear!"

The Yellow Emperor's gaze stared at him, and he said meaningfully: "'Yellow Heaven and Thick Earth' contains two meanings. The first is 'Jude Huatian', 'Virtue and Virtue', the pursuit of a broad mind, broad mind; the second is endless, more than struggle, pay attention to perseverance, indomitable perseverance. The yellow sky is the yang, the sky is strong, the gentleman should be self-improving, the thick soil is the yin, and the wide tolerance gives birth to all things. If the two are matched, there will be yang in yin and yin in yang......"

He spoke unhurriedly for most of the hour, first the general outline, then the cultivation method, and finally the precautions when cultivating, only to hear Ye Haotian's heart bloom, full of emotion, and consciously gained a lot, not only understood the refining method of Huangtian Houtu Divine Skill, but also had a deeper understanding of the spirit of earth virtue in the valley of humility.

Lan'er also felt that it was very beneficial when she listened to it, and felt that the Yellow Emperor's words about the principle of virtue and endless life had a lot in common with the exercises of refining stones to make up the sky and making people from the soil handed down by Nuwa Niangniang, which may be of great benefit to her future cultivation.

After teaching the exercises, the Yellow Emperor seemed to become much more relaxed, his eyes swept over the faces of the two of them, and he smiled slightly: "I don't have any identity tokens to hand over to you, and I have never engraved the exercises on the magic weapon, do you know why?"

Lan'er quickly replied: "What is engraved on the outside is not as reliable as remembering it in your heart, and getting your old man's personal inheritance is much better than having an empty magic weapon." ”

Ye Haotian pondered for a moment and replied: "Your old skills are extremely high, and there are very few people who are your opponents, plus the generals under your command are like clouds, and the ministers are like rain, so there is no different strategy, so naturally there is no need to prepare those things." ”

The Yellow Emperor shook his head when he heard this, and said with a smile: "What you said is not wrong, but the most important thing is not here. Each of the Five Old Emperors has their own strengths. My strength is not in my high skills, nor in the fact that I have many capable men, but in my ability to escape in time when the situation is not good!"

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and when he saw the two of them showing thoughtful expressions, he continued: "The Red Emperor and the Black Emperor have more than one surname, but they are not enough, and they want to sacrifice themselves when they are suppressed. And I have rigidity and softness, and rigidity and softness are combined. If you can beat it, you will fight hard, and if you can't beat it, you will run away quickly, and flee to another place to fight with the demons. The world is so big, the true God cannot be all-encompassing, and there are always weak places. What we have to do is to avoid the real and attack the weak, and find the opponent's weakness to attack. ”

Ye Haotian suddenly felt that his eyes were opened, and he had an idea: "The disciple suddenly thought, can you send a group of elite people and horses to ride the Sky Flying Sail, the Unai Flying Shuttle, the Jinpeng Divine Wing, or ride the Tianma to attack the Kui Wood Wolf Star, take the true god's nest, and rescue the White Emperor by the way?"

The Yellow Emperor pondered for a moment and said, "This plan is very good, but it is not the time yet. Because the true god left one-third of his troops behind Kui Mulius, the defense of the White Emperor Palace was very solid. As the war progresses, his forces may dwindle, and he will have to use the generals there, and then we can take advantage of the situation. However, after the battle, our side will be exhausted, but I am afraid that there will be no troops to sneak attack the White Emperor Palace!"

Ye Haotian thought of the immortals who were cultivating in the Nine Heavens Kunding, and felt that the matter of sneaking up on the enemy camp to open up another battlefield might be completed by the men and horses under his command, so he stopped talking, got up and said goodbye: "What else does the emperor have to order? If not, the disciple wants to go to the Sumeru Divine Mountain to have a look." The Buddha sect has been quiet, which makes people feel so strange!"

When the Yellow Emperor heard this, he also stood up, and said, "Wait!", then turned to the bookshelf and took a copy of "The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon", shook slightly, and found a pale yellow leaf. He handed the leaves to Ye Haotian and instructed, "Take this with you, you can use it to ask for the Buddha." This is the bay leaf that he gave me with his own hands 8,000 years ago, and I believe it will not be forgotten so quickly. ”

Ye Haotian was overjoyed when he saw it, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, and after thanking him again, he took Lan'er and left.

Thinking that she would soon arrive at the legendary Sumeru Sacred Mountain, Lan'er felt very excited.

When the Hanhai Shenzhou set sail again, she stretched out her hand to take the bay leaf given by the Yellow Emperor, and said while looking at it: "I am also half a disciple of the Buddhist Sect, and the master Hao Fan Shenni recites the scriptures and worships the Buddha every day, in addition to teaching me martial arts, he also gave me a few Buddhist scriptures, and he is also a little familiar with Buddhism. I heard the master say that those who go up to the Sumeru Sacred Mountain are all Bodhisattvas or golden-bodied Arhats, at least they are also virtuous monks, and ordinary people can't go up. Now that I have this bay leaf, I can also see the demeanor of the Buddhas, and I am really happy. Speaking of this, she suddenly stretched out the bay leaf to Ye Haotian's eyes, and said in surprise: "Childe, please look, there is a pinhole on this bay leaf to form the word 'Buddha', which is faintly shining!"

Ye Haotian looked intently, and sure enough, he found that there was a big "Buddha" word pierced with a thin needle on the leaves, and in addition to a few lines of small characters, it was clearly as follows: "One flower and one thought are immeasurable, and the whole is at one end, I will enter the mustard seed and realize the four noble truths to prove Nirvana." Every word faintly emits a golden light, and it seems that this bay leaf is a very precious Buddha treasure.

Lan'er seemed to understand it, and her eyebrows frowned slightly and said: "This poem contains a lot of Buddhist principles. The third sentence is easy to understand, 'I take Sumeru into mustard seeds', which means that Sumeru Sacred Mountain can be included in the small mustard seeds, and what do the other sentences say?"

Ye Haotian thought about the scriptures he had read before, and at the same time recalled the exchanges between him and several bodhisattvas in Jiuhua Mountain, and tried to explain: "The first sentence 'one flower and one thought of immeasurable eons' seems to be understood in this way: one flower and one world, one thought and one Bodhi, equating the transience of one flower and one thought with the longevity of immeasurable eons, reflecting the concept of the harmony of time and space. There are three types of tribulations in Buddhism: small, medium and large, which represent different time periods. I don't know exactly how long. ”

Lan'er suddenly smiled and said, "I know a little bit about the calculation of the robbery. It is said that 16 million years is a small catastrophe. One medium tribulation is equal to twenty minor tribulations, which is equivalent to more than 300 million years. A great tribulation consists of the four middle eons of 'coming, dwelling, deterioration, and emptiness', which is about more than a billion years old!"

Ye Haotian couldn't understand what it meant by how many great tribulations were mentioned at every turn in the Buddhist scriptures.

If one great tribulation takes one billion years, what is the significance of several great tribulations? Could it be said that eminent monks and bodhisattvas can live that long? Isn't that far above the immortal family? You must know that the lifespan of a three-clear heavenly god is only a few million years!

At this moment, a low voice from the Nine Rank Lotus Platform suddenly came from the bottom of his heart: "The calamity here does not refer to the length of human lifespan, but to the changes in the planets in the universe. If you look at the planet in front of you, which one has not gone through billions of years of time from formation to stability to decay to disappearance? At the beginning of 'formation', it was solidified by gas and liquid, and by liquid, and the temperature was extremely high, and human beings could not survive. When the 'bad' eons are over, the 'empty' eons begin, and after twenty eons of nothingness, another new planet is brewed, and the 'becoming' stage is entered again. What is described here is the Buddhist view of time and space. ”

Ye Haotian suddenly realized when he heard it!

Lan'er received the divine sense from the bottom of his heart, and nodded frequently, feeling that this explanation was relatively easy to understand.

It was rare for the Jiupin Lotus Platform to show up to say, Ye Haotian was very happy, and hurriedly asked: "'Daqian is at the end of a millimeter', this sentence means that the world is equivalent to the end of the autumn, right?"

Jiupin Liantai's voice came again: "Not bad." This sentence is combined with 'I take Sumeru into mustard seeds', which means that everything is harmonious and large. The Buddhist scriptures say that a moon system is called a 'small world', a thousand small worlds are called 'small worlds', a thousand small worlds are called 'middle thousand worlds', a thousand middle thousand worlds are called 'great worlds', and every great world has a Buddha in charge called 'Great Brahma King', and the great thousand worlds are immeasurably innumerable, and the Great Brahma King is also immeasurable. The entire universe includes countless worlds, and all the Buddha areas are under the management of the Buddha. Do you know who the last executor is? hehe, that's me!" it smirked.

Ye Haotian asked curiously: "The universe is so big, can the Buddha manage it alone? Even if you help, I'm afraid it will be overstretched." ”

Jiupin Liantai suppressed his laughter and replied: "The Buddha is incarnated into hundreds of billions, and there are many Bodhisattvas to help him manage it, and he himself is very relaxed! Every year on the sixth day of the sixth month of June, all the Great Brahma Kings in the universe have to go to the Sumeru Sacred Mountain for a meeting, and hand over the relevant information of their own jurisdiction to the Growth Heavenly King, the Duowen Heavenly King, the Holding Kingdom Heavenly King, and the Wide-eyed Heavenly King, and then hand it over to the Bodhisattvas to summarize, and then hand it over to the Buddha, and finally the Buddha will go to the bottom of the sea and hand it over to me for processing. The Buddha only runs once a year, do you think he is very relaxed?"

Ye Haotian said with a smile: "It turns out that you are the master of the Buddhist sect! You said that you refused to help, so the Buddhist sect is not messed up?"

Jiupin Liantai said: "That's not necessarily, it can operate without my Buddhist sect, but the efficiency is much lower!"

Ye Haotian asked again: "What is the meaning of the last sentence of the poem, 'Enlightenment of the Four Truths and Enlightenment of Nirvana'?"

After a pause, the voice of the Nine Pins Lotus Platform came word by word: "The Four Truths are also known as the 'Four Sacred Truths'. The four holy covenants are 'bitter contraction', 'collection contract', 'Tao contract' and 'extinction contract'. Ku Ji said that from birth to death, people have been rising and falling in the sea of suffering. The Collective believes that everything has no substance, but is only a combination of causes and conditions. The Tao talks about how people can be freed from bondage and beyond the suffering of samsara. After the cultivation of the destruction is completed, you can enter the state of 'nirvana'. ”

For this complex Buddhist principle, Ye Haotian also felt a little unbearable, and couldn't help but close his eyes and ponder.

Lan'er was also looking down and thinking hard, feeling that she understood most of it, but there were still some that were not very clear.

At this time, the voice of the Jiupin Lotus Platform kept coming: "As for what Nirvana is, I won't say it, you can ask again when you see the Bodhisattva or the Buddha, that is the biggest secret of the Buddha Sect, and it is also one of the reasons why the true god destroyed the Xuandu Yujing Qibao Mountain but did not dare to break into the Sumeru Divine Mountain." ”

Ye Haotian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "True gods also have things to fear, what is 'Nirvana', can Ah Lian tell me?"

Jiupin Liantai flatly refused: "The Buddha said: 'Don't say, don't say.'" ’”

Ye Haotian couldn't ask questions, so he had to give up.

The Haotian Dome Star was not far from the Yellow Emperor's Resting Star, so they soon flew to the foot of the Sumeru Divine Mountain.

From a distance, the entire Sumeru Sacred Mountain is like a huge lotus flower, stretching straight into the air from the top of the blue waves, layer by layer, petal, I don't know how tall and deep it is.

Jiupin Lotus Terrace found a rare opportunity to display his talents, and was busy introducing the general situation of the Sumeru Sacred Mountain: "The sacred mountain lives in the sea, and it is 84,000 miles above the water. Outside it is distributed Qixiang Sea, Qijin Mountain, and then there is the Aral Sea, Tiewei Mountain. Each of the four Aral Seas has a continent, and beyond the Aral Sea is surrounded by Tiewei Mountains, forming a closed world. There are a total of eight portals in Tiewei Mountain, each guarded by one of the eight divisions of the Heavenly Dragons, namely the Celestial Beings, the Naga Beings, the Yakshas, the Gandharvas, the Asuras, the Garudas, the Kinnaras, and the Maharajas. The Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon are the protector gods of Buddhism. The Dharma Protector of Buddhism is huge, with no less than a million people. ”

"I didn't expect that there are so many people in the Buddha Sect, it seems that I have really come to the right place!"

Ye Haotian was very happy, turned his head to look at Lan'er beside him and said, "Which level does Madam want to go?"

Lan'er had an excited look on her face and said with a smile, "I want to see what the legendary Yaksha is born like." ”

Ye Haotian laughed and said: "What's so nice about Yaksha? Some people say that there are Yaksha ...... in every house."

Before he finished speaking, he was punched in the shoulder by Lan'er!

At this time, Lan'er smiled and said coquettishly: "What nonsense! Childe turned out to be a ghost! I only like girls outside......"

Ye Haotian hurriedly denied with a smile: "Madame wants to be crooked, that means that the women of other people's families are all yakshas, we haven't married yet, and the lady is still as delicate as a flower......"

Lan'er raised her eyebrows and said angrily: "The more you say it, the more ugly it becomes, does it become a yaksha after getting married?"

It was the first time Ye Haotian saw her angry appearance, so he glanced at her twice, and argued: "Yaksha is a half-human and half-god monster. Madame has already become the god of Sanqing, and she can't do it if she wants to. You see, it's so beautiful when you're angry, and if the Yaksha can be so beautiful, everyone wants one to keep at home. As he spoke, he gently stretched his ape arm and hugged Lan'er and kissed her lightly on the cheek.

Lan'er also knew that he was joking, so she didn't pursue it anymore, and turned her anger into a smile: "Which level does Childe want to take?"

Ye Haotian muttered: "Let's go and see Garuda, that is, the legendary Golden-winged Dapeng. Because Dapeng is the sacred bird in the hearts of the Chinese nation, it contains a very rich cultural heritage, which may have some enlightening significance for the rise of Confucianism in the heavenly realm. Dapeng represents the spirit of carefree, bold, wise and brave. For example, Li Bai is known as the 'poet country Dapeng', and he wrote such a poem in his twenties: 'Dapeng rises with the wind and soars up to 90,000 miles. If the wind stops, it can still be dusted but the water is clear. When the world saw my constant tune, they all sneered when they heard Yu Dayan. Xuan's father can still be afraid of the afterlife, and her husband is not young. When he was dying, he also wrote, 'Dapeng Fei Xi Zhen Eight Descendants, Zhongtian is not strong enough to destroy. The aftermath of the wind is agitated for eternity, and you Fusang hangs on the left side. Later generations have passed on this, who is the one who is dead?'"

Hearing this, Lan'er was also full of interest and said, "I heard that Yue Fei is the reincarnation of the Dapeng Bird. ”

Ye Haotian thought of Yue Fei and thought of the prison ruler, and he unconsciously sighed, and sighed: "Yue Fei's skill is so high, but he is willing to die, which is a little contrary to the spirit of Dapeng, and it makes people sad to mention it." Forget it, don't mention it, let's go through the Garuda level!" As he spoke, he instructed the Nine Pins Lotus Platform to guide the way.

Hanhai Shenzhou circled around Tiewei Mountain and slowly landed in front of a semicircular tall doorway.

Ye Haotian put away the Shenzhou and walked forward side by side with Lan'er.

The two soon came to the doorway, and were stopped by an extremely tall man wearing a golden crown and inlaid with wishful beads.

The big man looked rough, but he was very polite to others, and asked with a smile: "The two laymen are so young, have they already attained the attainment of Buddhahood?"

Ye Haotian didn't know what he meant by asking, so he said humbly: "We are coarse with Buddhism, and we are really lucky to be able to touch it here." I heard that the people who enter the Sumeru Sacred Mountain are all virtuous monks, I wonder if we can go in?"

Dahan laughed loudly: "The door of the Buddha country is open, as long as there is a Buddha in the heart, you can enter, whether it is the four continents in the Aral Sea in all directions, or the Seven Fragrance Sea, the Seven Golden Mountains, it can be extended infinitely, and many people can live there." We Sumeru immortals only value the Buddha's heart, and the higher the number of Buddha's hearts, the closer the place where we live to the top of the mountain. Come, let me measure your Buddha mind number, so that I can see where I can arrange you. ”

Ye Haotian wanted to learn about the affairs of the Buddha Sect, so he didn't hurry to take out the bay leaf and prepare to accept the other party's test honestly.

But I saw that Dahan suddenly took out a lotus seat that was inches big, and said with a smile: "Stretch out your hand, hold the lotus platform with your palm, and breathe out." ”

Ye Haotian did as he was told.

Dahan took the lotus seat and looked at it, and said in surprise: "Wow! Your number of Buddha hearts is so high! You have already reached the level of a second-level arhat, you can go straight to the Seven Incense Sea, the Seven Golden Mountains, and reach the mountainside of the Sumeru Divine Mountain, where the Four Heavenly Kings are located, and continue to practice!

Lan'er also followed the test, and the result attracted another exclamation: "It is equivalent to a third-level Arhat, and you can also enter Gandhara Mountain to practice." ”

Lan'er was very happy to hear this, and asked, "What is a third-level arhat, and how is this divided?"

Dahan replied, "You may not understand it when you first arrive, so I will explain it a little. The highest level of immortals in the Buddha country is the Buddha, followed by the Bodhisattva, and then the Arhat, and the Arhat is the protector deity. The grading criteria are based on the attainment of Buddhahood, which is the degree of 'enlightenment', which is actually the Buddha's mind. According to the level of the Buddha's mind, the bodhisattvas are divided into ten levels, from the first bodhisattva to the ten bodhisattvas, and the ten bodhisattvas are Buddhas. Arhats are divided into thirty-three levels, the highest is level 1 and the lowest is level 33, so your cultivation is considered very high!"

Ye Haotian listened with relish, and couldn't help asking: "I heard that there are many gods in the Buddha Kingdom, and the total number is not less than one million, is it true?"

Dahan laughed loudly and said: "Of course! There are many Buddhas alone, and all those who have attained enlightenment can be called Buddhas, and the total number is no less than a thousand, which is about the same as the number of immortals and Yuqing Heavenly Gods." There are more bodhisattvas, in addition to Manjushri, Puxian, Jizang, Guanyin and other eight great bodhisattvas of the ten lands, there are tens of thousands of middle bodhisattvas and small bodhisattvas, the number is comparable to the total number of gods in the Qing Dynasty. As for Arhats, probably within 100,000 Buddhist disciples on the Buddha's Heart Ranking, except for Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, can be called Arhats. Let's go, I'll be your guide and take you to the ashram on Mount Gandhara. After speaking, he invited the two of them in, and he walked beside them unhurriedly.

Ye Haotian walked forward and looked around, wondering where the Golden-Winged Dapeng was, but he didn't find the slightest hint of it, so he had to ask Dahan: "May I ask your master's surname, where is the Heavenly King of Garuda?"

Dahan replied, "The Heavenly King always accompanies the Buddha by his side, and you will be able to see him when you reach the Bodhisattva Realm." I am one of the Garudas, the sons and nephews of the King of Heaven, so call me 'Garong.'" ”

Ye Haotian glanced at each other up and down, and found that except for being taller, he couldn't see the appearance of the golden-winged Dapeng bird. I don't know if the person in front of me is originally a human being, or a human form made of a golden-winged bird. But this kind of talk is not easy to speak, so he has to smile unwillingly, and intends to stop there.

Looking back at Lan'er, Lan'er winked at him, meaning that she didn't expect it to be like this.

They soon came to the semicircular doorway, and walked along the doorway, and Xu Xu had not yet stepped out of the range of the Iron Fence Mountain.

Lan'er couldn't help but praise: "I can't imagine that the mountain wall is so thick!"

Jia Lang said with a smile: "Tiewei Mountain is said to be a mountain, but it is actually equivalent to a thick city wall, which is not high but does not reach the top, and goes straight into the sky. This is the first line of protection of the Sumeru Sacred Mountain, and each of the eight gates is guarded by tens of thousands of soldiers. In the event of an incident, the Eight Gates can be quickly closed, completely isolating the world inside from the outside world. This is the basis for making the Buddha kingdom carefree and free from disasters and difficulties, and it is one of the elements that make up the world of bliss. ”
