Chapter 339 The karma of all living beings

In Wutai Mountain, the ice and snow have melted, and vegetation has begun to sprout, but Buddhist temples everywhere are still closed, not waiting for pilgrims.

Chiyang waved his knife to skim off the blood, casually kicked the bald head away, and looked at the monks on the rows of bunks in the Zen room with disdain.

All of these monks had no heads, and each of their bodies still maintained a meditating posture. When Chiyang cut off their heads, there was no warm blood spurting out from their necks, but the scent of sandalwood and the golden breasts of heaven came out towards them. It floats away from Longdong Temple, passing through the walls, and there is no way for external forces to stop it.

"These bunch of bald donkeys, in order to establish the Buddhist Dharma Realm, have they all been destroyed?" Chiyang was very impatient. He whirled and slashed with the dragon tooth sword in his hand. The huge sword light was accompanied by the sound of the dragon's roar, and the entire Zen room was razed to the ground. .

This was already the third temple that Chiyang had destroyed along the way. At least two to three hundred monks died under the dragon's tooth sword, but without exception, they were all sitting still like statues without any resistance. And no matter how deep the previous Buddhist practice was, after being hacked to death, all vitality was drained and turned into the Buddha Power Praise Dharma Realm.

More than three months have passed since Cheng Sanwu went to Longdong Temple. Although he had expected that this fight would not end soon, Chiyang still felt a sense of urgency.

However, at the beginning of the fight between the two sides, the entire Longdong Temple was in a strange state of half virtuality and half reality. Chi Yang rushed to it and could see Cheng Sanwu still standing in the courtyard of the temple, confronting the other four people, but their figures were like shadows remaining in the present world, and they were completely elusive.

Although he knew that the fight between the two sides must be in the Buddhist realm, Chiyang could not get in, so he simply turned around and went to Mount Wutai, killing the monks in the temple there.

Holy Truth Tanhua wanted to build such a Buddhist land and place a monastery for Manjushri, but it was not possible to do it with the power of one person, so he called on thousands of monks from hundreds of temples in Mount Wutai to praise the power of Buddha.

Chiyang planned to cut it off from the source, trying to make the Buddha Land and Dharma Realm unsustainable, but there was no change at all.

At this moment, in the Dharma Realm of Qingliang Mountain, Cheng Sanwu was sitting cross-legged, with his eyebrows lowered and his eyes lowered. His expression was peaceful, without the slightest hint of ferocity or violence. On the contrary, he was somewhat solemn and solemn, with light shining from the top, truly like a Buddhist eminent monk who had attained Nirvana and attained enlightenment.

Holy Truth Tanhua sat on the lotus platform, looking down at Cheng Sanwu, and couldn't help showing a bit of doubt.

Buddhism originated in Tianzhu. In the process of spreading to the outside world, Buddhism often encountered heretic ghosts and demons. In order to seek enlightenment for the sect, eminent monks and virtuous men would often use great magical powers to subdue them, and then make them convert under their disciples and become the heavenly protectors of the law. If you encounter those who are stubborn and stubborn, you will show anger and fear and kill them to increase your merits and demonstrate the boundless Dharma.

Since seeing the disaster of Taotie, Holy Truth Tanhua understands that such ancient evils cannot be eradicated by Buddhism alone. It is part of the principle of heaven and earth. Unless the heaven and earth itself completely collapses, it will be impossible to completely eliminate Taotie.

However, during the exchanges between the masters of Fu Shifeng, Master Wen did catch a glimpse of an opportunity from Buddhism. That is to imitate the five declines of heaven and man, from saint to mortal, and combine it with the principles of Confucianism and Taoism to qi transform all things and humans to be spiritual beings, to transform Taotie into a human being, and to reproduce in him the creation of the three talents of heaven, earth and man.

Therefore, in the view of Holy Truth Tanhua, Cheng Sanwu was originally a special existence of saint and mortal. Now that he has achieved the innate realm, and has been incarnated by Tai Yi Ling, he can be said to be extraordinary and become a saint. His supernatural powers and virtues are even more powerful than those in the Buddhist kingdom. The transcendental protector who has realized emptiness may not be able to compete with him if he really wants to manifest his holiness in the lower world.

Although Taotie has now transformed into an adult, his "size" is comparable to that of a world. The body that is incomparable with Taiyi Ling, and the ability to breathe dragon energy freely, has gradually transformed Cheng Sanwu into the mainstay of the divine hub of heaven and earth, anchoring the mountains and rivers of Kyushu in the Central Plains.

Therefore, even if he uses the supreme power of Buddha to ask Manjushri to respond, Holy Truth Tanhua does not feel that he can kill Cheng Sanwu. Therefore, the ultimate goal of Qingliangshan Dharma Realm from the beginning is to subjugate him.

The three Tianzhu monks Yi Wu Tu Chan wanted something more. They felt that if a figure like Cheng Sanwu could be subdued, then in the future Buddhism would have an invincible protector in the Central Plains. Honor God. Buddhism has spread all over the East, and it may not even be impossible to turn the Central Plains into a Buddhist kingdom on earth.

Relying on the merits of this great Buddha Dharma, Wu Tacana and others will become Buddhas one day and achieve profound enlightenment without any problem.

Therefore, when they saw that Cheng Sanwu was no longer as strong and violent as before, they couldn't help but feel joyful. They joined their palms and praised the Holy Deity Tanhua: "The Taotie has been subdued now, which shows that my Buddhist dharma can save all living things in the Eastern Land of Cathay. The land of Cathay will provide me with immeasurable merit and blessings for my Buddha.”

Shengyi Tanhua returned the greeting silently and didn't say much, but he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

During the battle at Hengshan, he had used his clairvoyance to see what San Wu could do. He originally thought that there would be a fierce battle this time, but he didn't expect that everyone in his group would subdue him without much effort. He was really surprised.

Just as Wu Tuchan said, as long as Taotie can be tamed, Buddhist teachings can use him as a medium to penetrate into the nine states of the Central Plains, gradually transforming this world into a Buddhist kingdom on earth, making everyone believe in Buddhism and make offerings to bhikkhus. The temples occupy all the famous mountains and rivers, and there will be endless descendants of Buddhas in the future. Such achievements in merit and virtue may only be inferior to that of my Buddha.

But Holy Truth Tanhua always felt something was strange. Taotie's counterattack was too weak. He seemed to have deliberately accepted the magical power of the Huijian, allowing it to chip away all the extraordinary powers, strip away the holy power, and reveal the true nature.

The Buddhist Wisdom Sword is not only used to subdue external demons and evil ways, but can also be used by Buddhist practitioners themselves to slay the inner demons of the six thieves. This process will remove all magical power from the body, and even remove self-grasping, revealing the solid and pure bodhicitta that is inherent in all living beings.

However, Taotie is not an ordinary sentient being, and Noble Truth Tanhua is not sure that he really has such a strong and pure bodhicitta. Fortunately, in order to transform into a human being through Taotie, Shengyi Tanhua gave up the future achievement of becoming a Buddha and personally cut out a few pure and flawless seeds as the foundation of all consciousnesses in the false union body.

The great magical power of the Vajra Wisdom Sword has fallen and destroyed all obstacles. If the white seed can be reproduced, it means that the foreshadowing laid by the Holy Truth Tanhua really worked. At that time, it will only need to re-bless the two mandalas of the Vajra Realm and the Womb Treasure Realm. Luo, just like me, the Buddha Shakyamuni, surrenders to the Great Israel, and destroys all fundamental ignorance.

Even eminent monks like Shengyi Tanhua, who have long been able to achieve the state of immutable ground, have to admit that this is already the highest achievement of Buddhism in the human world.

"You are greedy." Cheng Sanwu's voice suddenly sounded.

As soon as I thought about the Holy Truth Epiphany, I looked at it intently. At the foot of Qingliang Mountain, Cheng Sanwu's body was melted away by the magical power of the Vajra Wisdom Sword, revealing a little white seed. There was no need to fly, and he returned directly to the sea of ​​consciousness of the Holy Truth Epiphany. among.

"Not good!"

Holy Truth Tan Hua immediately noticed something strange, quickly collected all consciousness, exercised jhana, and emitted the flame of wisdom to burn away worries, thoughts and all hostile thoughts. However, it could not stop Cheng Sanwu's voice from ringing: "Be greedy for achievement, greedy for merit. The realm of fruit and greed is the greatest calamity for you Buddhist monks. You even want to turn the nine states of the Central Plains into a Buddhist kingdom. It shows that although you have inherited the Taiyi Order, you are far from understanding the foundation of this land."

The Holy Truth Tanhua remained silent and his body was as motionless as a diamond, while the other three monks had dirty robes and dark round lights on their heads.

These great achievers in Buddhism have great achievements and profound achievements, and they usually have various extraordinary manifestations, such as the light of wisdom shining from their bodies, the fragrance spreading all over their bodies, the sound of bells and bells following their shapes, or the growth of lotus flowers every step of the way. When ordinary people see it, they will have a heart of reverence; when Buddhist disciples see it, they will also firm up their thoughts on cultivation and make brave efforts.

The vision of the three Tianzhu monks immediately made Holy Truth Tan Hua realize.

"Five declines of heaven and man!"

Although Buddhist practice pursues the tranquility of Nirvana, it ultimately requires transcending the realm of heaven and humans, completely transcending the sea of ​​suffering, and not being disturbed by the suffering of the end of happiness.

However, as long as those who practice Buddhism still have a physical body in the world, they cannot be truly liberated. No matter how great and prosperous they are on ordinary days, if they go astray during practice and become possessed by the three poisons and five aggregates, they will still encounter the calamity of the five declines of gods and humans.

In a flash of thought, Holy Truth Tan Hua understood that Cheng Sanwu did not resist at all when faced with the great supernatural power of the Vajra Wisdom Sword, and even accepted the boundless Buddhist power of the Qingliang Mountain Dharma Realm to infect the body and spirit. His real purpose was to in turn infiltrate the Dharma Realm of the Buddha Land. In this way, he can understand the principles of the movement and composition of the Buddha's land, and finally penetrate into the consciousnesses of the Holy Truth Tan Hua and Wu Da Chan and others, shaking the Buddha's wisdom.

Just as Cheng Sanwu said, Holy Truth Tanhua, Wu Da Chan and others are trying to prove the merits of Buddhism and seek the glory of Buddhism. Therefore, Cheng Sanwu senses the greed that arises from self-grasping, and then mercury falls to the ground. , pervasive, invading all consciousness in one fell swoop.

And because Cheng Sanwu was trapped in the Buddha's Dharma Realm, they used magical powers to make it impossible for them to avoid each other, directly pointing to the true nature of their hearts. Therefore, once a flaw is exposed, there is no resistance and can only rely on their own fundamentals to withstand the impact.

The Holy Truth Tan Hua only felt that the six sense organs were vibrating and all consciousnesses were confused. The light and flame of wisdom became weaker and weaker. Demonic realms came one after another. The eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body were magnified to the limit. Colors, sounds, fragrances, and touches were like countless disturbances, causing large tracts of water to ooze from the bare scalp. beads of sweat.

"How do you feel? This was the method you used to deal with me back then." Cheng Sanwu's voice continued to sound. Shengyi Tanhua turned around and glanced around, unable to find the source of the sound.

"If you obediently become a bhikkhu who practices transcendental dharma, cut off all the karmic obstacles of the earthly roots, and seek the attainment of pratyekabuddha, I won't bother to trouble you. But you insist on showing off your magical powers, thinking that you If you can save sentient beings, don’t blame me for being rude..."

At the same time as Cheng Sanwu's voice sounded, Holy Truth Tanhua's eyes wandered, and he caught a glimpse of the three monks Wu Tu Chan looking at him with a bit of fear. He immediately raised his hand to cover his mouth, and was shocked to realize that the words he just heard were all from Say it from your own mouth.

Closing his eyes and watching inside, Holy Truth Tanhua discovered that the white seed that had returned to his body had sprouted quickly and "grew" Cheng Sanwu again, gradually occupying himself from the inside out and seizing the Qingliang Mountain Dharma Realm Mountain. The seat of the throne, along with Manjushri's dharma body, continued to disintegrate.

In order to be able to deal with Taotie, Shengyi Tanhua had actually been preparing for many years. While guarding the evil blood in Longdong Temple, he used his own meditation skills to attract the power of Bodhisattvas to pay attention, thereby laying the foundation for the establishment of the Buddhist land and the Dharma Realm, just like Confucianism. The Taoist master's inner scene shows his merits externally.

Although the three monks of Wu Tu Chan and the hundreds of temples in Mount Wutai later assisted in their efforts, there is no doubt that the Holy Truth Tanhua is located here on the Dharma Realm Mountain Seat in Qingliang Mountain. It is the sacred hub for the rotation of the Buddha's earth, just like Cheng Sanwu in Kyushu in the Central Plains. .

Sighing silently, Holy Truth Tanhua knew in his heart that the defeat was irreversible. Cheng Sanwu might have thought of this strategy from the moment he stepped into the Dharma Realm of Qingliang Mountain. , instead of being able to restrain Taotie, it has become the key to today's defeat.

"The young monk is unclear about something, please ask a good man to clarify his doubts." Before the body and spirit were completely dissolved and swallowed by Cheng Sanwu, Holy Truth Tanhua put his hands together and asked: "If the white seed is the root of all consciousness, what should the good man do?" fundamental?"

Cheng Sanwu was silent for a long time, and Shengyi Tanhua could feel from the bottom of his heart that the other party was not confused, but a little disappointed.

"When did you join Longdong Temple?" Cheng Sanwu asked.

"I was taken to Longdong Temple when I was still a baby, and I will come back with the retribution of my past life and my wish." Holy Truth Tanhua did not hide it.

"That's not surprising." Cheng Sanwu said: "A master like you seems to have lived in the mountains and forests, eating in the wind, lying in the snow, practicing asceticism and meditating, but in fact he doesn't understand anything. He still regards the world as an evil world with five turbidities. We are disgusted with the filthy land, but we don’t know that our roots are among all living beings in this world.”

Shengyi Tanhua was speechless after hearing the words, and Cheng Sanwu continued: "You guys are still thinking about turning the nine states of the Central Plains into a Buddhist kingdom on earth. You are so stupid. This land has suffered countless natural disasters, countless foreign enemies, and countless disputes throughout the ages. , in order to survive, there is no room for any falsehood. Even if you succeed in your plan and turn the nine states of the Central Plains into a Buddhist kingdom on earth, Buddhas will definitely be destroyed again in the future!"

"Taking the hearts of all living beings as your heart, taking the environment of all living beings as your environment, following the circumstances and feeling everything, a good man behaves as a bodhisattva of great kindness and compassion." Holy Truth Tanhua praised.

"Wrong again!" Cheng Sanwu said with dissatisfaction: "Are you going to talk about 'seeing that the five aggregates are empty, and you can survive all the sufferings'? It's a joke. The sufferings of all living beings should always be dealt with by themselves, there is no need for it. A deity and bodhisattva has come to show great mercy!"

"The young monk is wrong." Holy Truth Tanhua clasped his hands together and spread out his hands, revealing an ancient seal of a bird and an insect: "Taiyi returns the object to its original owner, please be a good man and cherish it."

After saying these words, the form and spirit of the Holy Truth Tanhua disappeared, and the three monks of Wu Tu Chan were filled with aversions all over their bodies. The flame of wisdom turned into the six thieves demon fire, burning the muscles and bones, causing unbearable pain. Mountains full of Arhat monks and thousands of heavenly beings were shaking and shouting, and their cultivation of Buddhism continued to retreat.

Cheng Sanwu completely occupied the seat of Dharma Realm Mountain in Qingliang Mountain, and Mañjuśrī Bodhisattva attained pure Nirvana and never entered the world.

"This is a complete enough break." Cheng Sanwu grinned: "Well, then I will give Buddhism a demonic catastrophe, and let's see how many monks in this world can detect it!"

With these words settled, Cheng Sanwu sacrificed the Eight Taiyi Orders in unison, and used the Dharma Realm of Qingliang Mountain to induce all those who practice Buddhism in the world. A wave of greed spreads, infecting all consciousness, and its effect is far-reaching!
