Chapter 168: Letter to Gu Laojun and Hu

Time is long, white clouds and dogs, since the Heavenly Dao retreated, the flood was reintegrated into four continents by the Great Dao, namely Dongsheng Shenzhou, West Niuhe Continent, South Ganbu Continent and North Juluzhou.

Since then, the human race has been scattered to the four major continents, the Zhou Dynasty is located in the Nanzhan Continent, and the other three continents are small countries, and since then the human race has no co-master.

After 300 years, Dongsheng Shenzhou was occupied by Daomen, Xiniuhe Prefecture was owned by Buddhism, Confucianism prevailed in the south, and the Lich of Luzhou in the north stood side by side. At the moment when the three schools of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism were silently accumulating strength and developing their own power, the shape of the world had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Nanzhan Buzhou, the thirteenth son of heaven of the Zhou Dynasty passed to the hands of Ji Gongsheng, the king of Zhou You, but this king was greedy and tyrannical, and he was extravagant. Later, his son Xuanjiu succeeded to the throne and was called King Zhou Ping.

In view of the dilapidated Hojing and the threat of the dog Rong, King Ping of Zhou, under the protection of the princes of Zheng, Qin, Jin and other princes, moved the capital to Luoyi and established the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Since then, the strength of the Zhou clan has been greatly reduced, and the binding force on the princes has decreased again, leading the princes to fight. The history of the human race entered the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

The princes were reckless, and the Confucian doctrine was gradually abandoned by the princes, but the doctrines of the soldiers and the Legalists were very popular, and the Mohists, the Zongheng families, the Yin and Yang families, and the peasants also appeared in the temples one after another, which can really be described as a hundred schools of thought.

Since then, the power of Confucianism has been greatly reduced, Taoism has not yet recovered its vitality, but Buddhism is thriving, with 3,000 Buddhas, 800 Arhats, monks, and countless Buddhas.

What annoyed Sanqing the most was that not only the three thousand disciples of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect rebelled, but even the Burning Lamp, Fear of Liusun, Manjushri, Fuxian, and Cihang also joined the sect of Buddhism.

Among them, Burning the Lamp and Fearing the Legacy Sun were named the Buddhas of the past, and the Burning Lamp was the first of the seven Buddhas of the past, and Manjushri, Puxian, and Cihang attained the Bodhisattva status. It's just that because the original origin of the three of them was damaged, they had to be reincarnated and rebuilt, but when Cihang woke up, he found that he was actually a daughter in this life, and he was named Guanzi Bodhisattva.

......

"May I do my best to deal with the sinful and suffering sentient beings in the future and make it easy for them to be liberated. May I swear to save all the hells in the world, as well as the sins and sufferings of the three evil realms, in the hundreds of billions of eons from now on, to the pure lotus eyes. Leave hell, evil tastes, beasts, hungry ghosts, etc. If you are retribution, you will become a Buddha and then I will become enlightened. ”

As a voice came from the underworld, the eyes of many powerhouses in the Three Realms were all focused on the underworld, and they saw a woman in the underworld sitting sideways on the back of the divine beast. The golden light around him illuminated the entire Netherworld.

Zhun Ti was preaching the Dharma in the West Heaven Da Lei Yin Temple at this time, and suddenly felt something, only to see the guide to the Buddha who listened to the lecture and said: "Today, there is a Shura princess who has her eyes and heart to the Buddha and made a grand wish: 'All living beings have done their best to prove Bodhi, and hell is not empty and vows not to become a Buddha.'" ’”

The Buddhas under the seat were greatly surprised when they heard this, but at this time, they saw that the Buddha Mother Zhun Ti also spoke: "Its 'patience and immobility like the earth, and meditation as deep as a secret treasure' should be crowned as the king of the earth Bodhisattva." ”

All the Buddhas chanted the Buddha's name, and their hearts were full of admiration for the Bodhisattva King of the Earth, and they could not imagine that this Shura woman could have such great perseverance and compassion. Since then. The four major Bodhisattvas of Buddhism are Guanyin Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva, Puxian Bodhisattva, and Jizo Bodhisattva.

Seeing that Buddhism was about to flourish, Pangu Sanqing was naturally unwilling.

In the Tushi Palace, Pangu Sanqing gathered, and at this time, I saw Taishang Laojun looking at the Tongtian Sect Master with a longing face, and said sincerely: "Third brother, how did you think about the previous matter?"

Tongtian frowned when he heard this, and he couldn't bear to say in his heart: "Big brother, is there no one to go except Duobao?

Yuan Shi Tianzun was about to speak. But seeing that Taishang Laojun waved his hand to stop Yuan Shi Tianzun, he opened his mouth to explain: "Yun Zhongzi was just a registered disciple of the Jade Void Palace before. For example, Heng can control Manjushri and others, who were once twelve golden immortals, and even talk about intercepting three thousand red dust guests. Explain the many disciples of the two sects who have been captured and sent to the Buddhist sect, except for Duobao, who can control it?"

The old gentleman of Taishang stood up and bowed deeply to the Tongtian Sect Master, and Yuan Shi Tianzun also followed closely when he saw this, seeing the two brothers like this. The Tongtian Sect Master couldn't help but burst into tears, "Let's go, let's go, let's take charge of this matter! I'll call Duobao in, and the eldest brother will tell him personally!"

After a while, Duobao Daoist came to the Tushi Palace and bowed deeply to the two of them: "Disciple Duobao see the two masters!"

Lao Jun nodded slightly when he heard this. motioned to Duobao to get up, and then told Duobao his plans one by one.

When Duobao heard this, he was stunned and said, "Master agreed!"

Lao Jun nodded slightly when he heard this.

Seeing this, Duobao was stunned, and suddenly said madly: "Hahahaha...... Now that you've all decided, what else are you calling me to do!" Yan suddenly knelt on the ground and knocked three times to the sky, then got up and said, "Disciple Xie Shizun for the grace of preaching and instructing! But this is also the last time that the disciple calls you Master!"

"Bold!" Yuan Shi Tianzun was furious when he heard this, but was stopped by Lao Jun waving his hand again.

......

In front of Hangu Pass, a pair of strange combinations appeared in the eyes of everyone, the current is a slightly bloated, dull face fat Taoist man, behind him is a horned green ox, on the green cow sits a white-haired old man, only the wisdom of the Haitian eye can show his extraordinary.

The two were on the road, but they saw a man and a horse galloping towards Guanzhong, and after a while, they came to the two of them and bowed their heads. Seeing this person's thick lips and thick eyebrows, Taishang Laojun was righteous and awe-inspiring, full of determination, secretly praised, and stepped forward to ask, "Why is the general like this." ”

Hearing this, the visitor hurriedly explained: "The disciple's name is Yin Xi, he has been observant of astronomy since he was a child, and he loves ancient books. I know that there is a great sage passing by, so I have come to meet and ask the elders to give me advice!"

Taishang Laojun's heart moved when he heard this, and he took out two volumes of Taoism from his arms, the upper volume is the "Tao Sutra", and the lower volume is called the "Dejing", handed it to this person, and said lightly: "You are willing to be a famous disciple of the poor Dao!"

Yin Xi was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Disciple to meet the teacher!" So Taishang Laojun traveled all the way west to the vicinity of Mount Emei. Taishang Laojun rebuked him because he wanted to do something confidential.

Even if Yin Xidang stayed in this Emei Mountain, he became a neighbor with Zhao Gongming, and finally passed down the lineage of Shushan, and ascended to the Tao, known as Wenshi Zhenren.

Taishang Laojun and Duobao went all the way west. When they came to the Kapila Guardian Kingdom, they saw the glass treasure light on the horizon, the dust was not clean, the light was prosperous, there was a little bit of wonderful music in the Sanskrit singing, and the goddess scattered flowers, and the two knew that the time had come, so they stopped immediately.

At this time, I saw Duobao loosen the reins and come to sit under the Bodhi tree. One finger to the sky and the other to the ground: "From now on, there will be no more interception of teachings and many treasures in the world, only Theravada Buddhism, such as the Buddha, Hinayana Buddhism, stand!" As soon as the words fell, I saw two groups of merit falling from the sky.

Seeing this, Lao Jun took out a white Sensen circle from his bosom, threw it in the air, and refined all these merits into the diamond bracelet, but at this time, he saw that the bracelet was faintly revealing the spirit of merit. A magic weapon of merit has been achieved.

Looking at Duobao again, at this time, the image has changed greatly. The robe turned into a robe, and the black hair on his head fell off automatically, replaced by 84,000 relics. Then he saw Duobao looking up to the sky and shouting: "Chop, chop, chop, chop!"

Facing Lao Jun's incomprehensible gaze, he saw the five figures appear around Duobao, and gave a deep salute to Duobao: "King Fudo Ming, King Ming of the Third Dynasty, King Juntari Ming, King Dawei Deming, King Vajra Yaksha Ming have seen the Buddha!" and then merged into Duobao's body again.

Seeing this, Taishang Laojun couldn't help but wonder and said, "Duobao!

Hearing this, Duobao clasped his hands together and said lightly: "Thanks to the blessing of Taoist friends." The poor monk uses the power of merit to cut out the five potential worlds, although they are not three corpses, but they are no different from the three corpses, and the poor monks call them the incarnations of the five great kings!

"Okay!good!Okay!Uncle really didn't see the wrong person!" Taishang Laojun heard the words and said three good words!

"A poor monk is a monk, and Your Excellency is the Tao. I hope Your Excellency won't make a mistake in the future!"

Seeing Duobao hating the Daomen so much, Taishang Laojun couldn't help but feel murderous, and sighed secretly in his heart: "In order to disperse the luck of Buddhism!

Duobao Daoist also noticed Lao Jun's murderous intent, and couldn't help but secretly be on guard, just when the two of them were tense, they saw an arrogant voice from far and near, "It seems that the kid came at the right time!" After that, he saw a little novice in a robe come to Duobao's side, turn over and bow down: "Disciple see Master!"

Seeing this, Duobao was relieved, and hurriedly helped him up and said, "Golden Cicada, how do you dress up like this!"

"Shizun is a disciple of Taoism, and the disciple is dressed up in Taoist costumes, and now that Shizun has established Theravada Buddhism, disciples naturally want to dress up as Buddhas. ”

"Okay, good, good, as long as you and I join forces, the world can go!" said Duobao with emotion when he heard this.

"Golden Cicada, you also want to fail to apostasy, are you worthy of the cultivation of your ancestors?" Lao Jun said bitterly when he heard this.

"Joke! Even the master is gone, what else do you need to be the ancestor?" Jin Chanzi said with a mocking face when he heard this.

"You guys are very good!Let Lao Dao clear the door for Tongtian Senior Brother today!" Taishang Laojun was furious when he heard this.

"I don't know what made Senior Brother so angry, he actually wanted to shout and kill my Buddhist disciples?" Just when Lao Jun was about to kill the killer, he saw bursts of Sanskrit singing in the air, and when he looked up, he saw that the two of them joined forces.

Taishang Laojun saw that he was going to be brought to the point, and knew that he couldn't do anything, how could he stay here and be ridiculed by the two, so he snorted coldly and said: "The coming day is long!" and then disappeared!

Looking at the two saints of Buddhism who broke through the sky, Duobao took two steps and came to the two of them and said: "The little monk sees the big monk, I am willing to worship the big monk as a teacher, and listen to the teachings day and night!"

Zhun Ti laughed when he heard this, and the resentment of countless Yuan Huilai who was oppressed by Sanqing was swept away, and he personally helped Duobao up and accepted him as a disciple, and then the four of them returned to Lingshan Da Lei Yin Temple together. This spiritual mountain is the original Western Sect's Mount Meru, and it was only because the Western Sect joined the Spiritual Sect that this mountain was renamed Lingshan.

In the Lingshan Da Lei Yin Temple, looking at the many Buddha monks under the seat, the Buddha said lightly: "From today on, Duobao has officially joined Buddhism, and now the Buddha is honored with the throne, and the Dharma name is given, and he is in charge of the central Suva world, and Manjushri and Fuxian are the left and right Bodhisattvas. I and the Mother of the Buddha should retreat to the mountains behind the Lingshan Mountain and practice Buddhism. Since then, all the affairs of Buddhism, big and small, have been handled by the Buddha with full authority!

"There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south!" all the Buddhas responded in unison when they heard this.

Duobao thanked the two sages of the West for their kindness, spared no effort to develop the power of Buddhism, and kept appearing in Xiniu Hezhou to say the Dharma, so that the people were convinced of the teachings of Buddhism. A hundred years later, there are already many temples in Xiniu Hezhou, and the trend of Buddhism is unstoppable.

As for the Treasure himself, in the process of preaching the Dharma, he accepted ten disciples, namely Mahakalya, Moggallan, Fuluna, Bodhizi, Sariputta, Rahula, Ananda, Upali, Aniludha, and Kajayan.

Duobao originally wanted to make Jin Chanzi the senior brother, but Jin Chanzi insisted on refusing, Duobao knew that Jin Chanzi still had the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit in his heart, so he was not reluctant, and still called Jin Chanzi the second disciple, ranking above the top ten disciples.

Sanqing was unwilling, and ordered his disciples to go down the mountain to pass on the Taoist system. Among them, Guangchengzi passed down the Kongtong lineage, Wudang Our Lady passed down the immeasurable lineage, and Yin Xi passed down the Shushan lineage.

Seeing that the human race was in turmoil, Cangjie also went to the lower realm again, traveled to various countries under the pseudonym Confucius, gave lectures, and accepted seventy-two disciples, known as the seventy-two sages of Confucius, and gradually stopped the decline of Confucianism.

Bo Yi Kao couldn't bear the teacher's suffering in the world, but he was also reincarnated and rebuilt, came to the world, assumed the name Meng Ke, spread Confucianism, and was called the Confucian Sage. But at this time, Confucianism was no longer a monopoly, and the contention of a hundred schools of thought became more and more intense, gradually evolving from a battle of words to a battlefield fight.
