Chapter 173 Heavenly Demon Obstruction Bo Xun Demon Lord
The prince left the forest and continued his journey southeast to visit the ascetic Bhagava near the city of Vaishali, where he saw many ascetics torturing their bodies in all sorts of strange ways, thinking that by doing so, they would be born in the next life and enjoy happiness, but how could they attain reasonable happiness with unreasonable causes of suffering?
The prince thought that this method could never liberate life and death, so he stayed for seven days and left indifferently.
When King Johan heard the news that the prince had become a monk, he was very sad in his heart, and immediately sent his cronies and ministers in the palace to persuade the prince, and they saw the prince sitting under a tree from a distance, so they went forward to persuade him to return to the palace, and the prince replied, "I practice to relieve all sentient beings from the pain of birth, old age, sickness and death, and I am determined not to return to the palace first."
These people were very helpless, so they had to leave five of them behind and accompany the prince to learn the Tao everywhere.
Then the prince continued southward, crossed the rapids of the Ganges, and came to Magadha, where the inhabitants were amazed when they saw his demeanor, and when the king knew about it, he invited him into the palace, and when the king saw his solemn countenance, and heard his profound philosophy, he was greatly impressed, and earnestly asked him to stay and educate the people, and was willing to give him the throne.
However, the crown prince resolutely rejected the king's kindness in his quest for liberation from life and death, and then went to a forest valley near the royal palace to visit two famous religious masters, Arora and Udra, who believed that the way to monastic was to first become a monk, live as an almsgiving, and practice meditation.
The prince stayed here for several months, and his meditation realm was very high, but he still had nothing to gain from the way of liberation from birth, old age, sickness and death, so he had to leave and come to the Nilian Zen River. Here, he practiced asceticism, meditated and meditated, ate one rice and one rice every day or every other day, and then only once every seven days, and this kind of assiduous practice made him lose weight as a mortal. Skin and bone are connected, and they have been spent for six years.
After six years of penance, the prince still could not be relieved of birth, old age, sickness and death, so in desperation, he had to give up this kind of practice, go into the Nilian Zen River to bathe, wash the dirt on his body, and then accept the shepherdess's milk offering, so his body and mind immediately recovered. At this time, the five people who accompanied him thought that his Tao was not strong, and quietly left and went to another place to continue their asceticism.
Finally, the prince came alone to Mount Gaya, sat down on grass under a Bodhi tree, and vowed, "If I don't attain supreme enlightenment." I'd rather let this body shatter than end up here."
Forthwith. He meditated under the tree to relieve life, old age, sickness and death, but at this moment, there was an invasion of foreign demons, and in an instant, the demons danced, and the prince's teeth and claws came to kill, and the leader. It turned out to be the feared lord of the desire realm in the West.
In this desolation, there is a race that everyone fears and hates, and over there are extraterritorial heavenly demons, the so-called extraterritorial heavenly demons, they are actually members of the primeval demon race. It's just that in the Longhan Tribulation, the Demon Ancestor Luo Hu's Zhuxian Sword Array was broken, the Demon Ancestor was killed by the Dao Ancestor, and the Ancient Demon Clan was almost wiped out under the joint strangulation of the various races in the Flood Wilderness.
And at this moment, the two powerhouses of the demon race, the Bo Xun Demon Lord and the Primordial Heavenly Demon, came up with a method in order to survive, that is, to pray for the Heavenly Dao, establish an extraterritorial Heavenly Demon Realm outside the territory, and specifically hinder the cultivation of the monks in the flood wilderness.
Although the immortal Dao forces led by Hongjun Dao Ancestor had the intention to eradicate this extraterritorial Heavenly Demon Realm, however, this Heavenly Demon hindered the cultivation of the monks, but it was in line with the Heavenly Dao and could delay the arrival of the immeasurable calamity, so they were protected by the Heavenly Dao, and Hongjun Dao Ancestor could not help them, so he could only pass down many methods to fight against the Heavenly Demon.
Whenever a heavenly tribulation falls, it is the time when the heavenly demon takes the opportunity to sneak into the flood wilderness, of course, not everyone who crosses the catastrophe dares to make trouble, just take Feiyang as an example! He didn't see the heavenly demon when he crossed the tribulation, he was because he had a meritorious spiritual treasure, and he was the nemesis of this extraterritorial heavenly demon, coupled with the regulations of the heavenly way, the cultivation of the heavenly demon who entered the flood wilderness could only be similar to the cultivation of the traverser, so there was no heavenly demon rushing to block the way, otherwise the golden light of flying merit would not be how many people died.
As for the two places in this extraterritorial Heavenly Demon Realm, one is in the east, which is controlled by the Primordial Heavenly Demon, and the other is in the West, which is controlled by the Bo Xun Demon Lord, and the two of them divide their own sphere of influence by taking the east-west dividing line as the boundary.
And this time, Bo Xun Buddhism had a premonition that if Shakyamuni was allowed to establish Mahayana Buddhism, then Mahayana Buddhism would be very restrained from their extraterritorial demons, so they would do their best, even if the prince was not in the heavenly tribulation, he would enter the flood to eradicate the prince.
Of course, because the prince was not in the tribulation this time, Bo Xun didn't dare to kill him directly, but used beautiful women to tempt him, sent demon soldiers to scare him, and conjured up all kinds of terrifying scenes to mess with his Dao heart.
After seeing this scene, the Demon Lord of Bo Xun was immediately furious, if it weren't for the restrictions of the Heavenly Dao, if he couldn't shoot directly, he would have pounced on it and swallowed it to the point that there was not a single hair left, and immediately said viciously, "You want to create Mahayana Buddhism to educate the world, and this seat wants to destroy your Dharma."
Shakyamuni didn't take it to heart at all, and immediately became huge, "The Dharma is the Dharma, and no force can destroy it."
Bo Xun laughed and immediately said, "Hehe, justice will always exist, evil will not disappear, even if you have the Dharma in this world, it is impossible for everyone in the world to believe in you, and there are many disciples and grandchildren in this seat? Human nature is inherently evil, it is easy to learn bad and difficult to learn, and one day after you are destroyed, there will be fewer and fewer people who believe in you, and more and more people will believe in this seat."
"It is not good for you for you to destroy my Dharma, the light of the Buddha is the light that shines on the good people and also on the evil people like you, if the Dharma era is over, your good fortune will be over, and what awaits you is eternal perdition, and you will suffer immeasurable sufferings in the sinking."
"Life is made by the heart, and this seat will try to avoid the suffering of sinking."
"If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, where can you avoid it!" (To be continued......)
