Chapter 45 Prologue: Lantern Taoist and Dinghaizhu
Prologue: Burning Lantern Taoist and Dinghai Pearl
Taoist Ran Deng, the former deputy leader of the interpretation of religion, Daluo Jinxian Zhengguo, later abandoned the immortal to become a Buddha, founded the Mahayana Buddhism and Taoism school, and is the ancestor of Mahayana Buddhism and Taoism.It can be said to be "the head of the immortal class, the origin of the Buddha".

He once helped Jiang Ziya break through the Ten Jue Formation during the Calamity of Conferring the Gods, and he took in his disciple Li Jing, who taught the Twelve Golden Immortals, also known as his teacher.

There are two main reasons why Taoist Ran Deng has such a status.

First, in the early prehistoric period, when the primitive Taoists had not yet established the interpretation of teachings, nor did they worship Hongjun Taoist as a teacher, he joined Yuanshi Tianzun's sect as "a good bird breaks a tree to live, and a virtuous minister chooses the master to do things".

At that time, on the surface, Taoist Primitive and Taoist Randeng were mentors and apprentices, but in fact the two were close in cultivation, but they were both teachers and friends.

Therefore, when the Primordial Taoist, Taishang Taoist, and Tongtian Taoist joined forces to open up the Immortal Dao and became one of the three ancestors of the Immortal Dao, after founding the Chanjiao, the identity of the Lantern Taoist naturally rose and became the deputy leader of the Chanjiao.

Second, Taoist Ran Deng obtained a miraculous innate spirit treasure during the calamity of conferring the gods.

This innate spiritual treasure is called "Dinghai Shenzhu". There are 24 pieces in a string, each of which emits five colors of light, which can dazzle the five senses of the enemy's spiritual consciousness. It is as powerful as the power of the four seas.

According to the rumors, this treasure has already been born, and its brilliance once appeared, illuminating the earth.Later, it fell into the hands of Taoist Tongtian and was given to Zhao Gongming.

During the Battle of the Conferred Gods, Zhao Gongming used this treasure to sweep away the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chanjiao and the deputy leader of Chanjiao, Randeng Daoist. Afterwards, the treasure was taken by Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, two scattered people from Wuyi Mountain, with money from the treasure, and Daoist Randeng saw it Ding Haizhu applauded and shouted: "I just saw this rare treasure today, and my way has been accomplished!"

After enshrining the gods, Taoist Ran Deng abandoned immortality and became a Buddha, devoted himself to the West, and comprehended Buddhism.

He derived 24 heavens (also known as 24 Buddha kingdoms) from this bead, thereby proving the fourth-class Hunyuan Buddha status in one fell swoop, and creating the Mahayana Buddhism and Taoism school.

24 The heavens are Brahma Heaven, Indra Heaven, Duowen Heavenly King Heaven, Jiguo Heavenly King Heaven, Zengchang Heavenly King Heaven, Guangmu Heavenly King Heaven, Vajra Miji Heaven, Dazizai Heaven, Fazhi Dajiang Heaven, Great Debating Talent Heaven, and Great Eloquence Heaven. The Heaven of Merit, the Heaven of Wei Tuo, the Heaven of Firm Earth, the Heaven of the Bodhi Tree, the Heaven of Devil Mother, the Heaven of Malizhi, the Heaven of the Sun Palace Heaven, the Heaven of the Moon Palace Heaven, the Heaven of Suogan Dragon King, the Heaven of Yamara King, and the Heaven of Kinnara Heaven, Mahulaka Heaven, Garuda Heaven, and Gandharva Heaven.

The so-called 24 heavens are actually 24 star fields, which are located in the vast space above Xiniu Hezhou in the Promise Continent, in the west of the 36th heaven field in the Heavenly Court.

Each star field is composed of hundreds of millions of floating islands of different sizes, and these floating islands are the same as those in the 36 heavenly fields of the heavenly court, all of which are composed of star essence.

A suspended island with a normal size can accommodate hundreds of people, and a slightly larger suspended island can accommodate tens of thousands of people. Some even look like the giant suspended island in the ninth layer of heaven that sets off the fairy mansion in Yaochi, which can accommodate hundreds of millions of living beings. Survive and reproduce.

There are 36 heavenly realms under the joint control of Immortal Dao and Shinto Dao, while Buddhism Dao has 24 heavens. Therefore, Buddhism Dao was recognized by Pangu Tiandao incarnation Hongjun Taoist, and has become the third orthodox Dao after Immortal Dao and Shinto Dao.

Based on this merit, Daoist Ran Deng was named the first Buddha of Mahayana Buddhism and Taoism by the two founders of Buddhism and Taoism, Taoist and Zhunti Taoist—the ancient Buddha of Dieng Deng, known as the source of ten thousand Buddhas, and thus obtained the Mahayana Buddha The honor of heaven and earth.

It is also because of this that he is qualified to give a prophecy to Sakyamuni Moding, guiding the latter to become the future Tathagata Buddha!

Everyone thinks that there are only 24 Dinghai Shenzhu, but it is not!

"Book of Changes" says: "The number of Dayan is fifty, and it uses forty to nine. Divide it into two to make two images, hang one to make three images, and squeeze it to use four to make four images. Run, run again at the age of five, so hang up again and hang up."

"The sky is one and the earth is two, the sky is three and the earth is four, the sky is five and the earth is six, the sky is seven and the earth is eight, the sky is nine and the earth is ten. The sky is five, the earth is five, and the five phases are combined. The number of days is five, and the earth is five. Count thirty, and the number fifty in the world is five. This is why there are changes and ghosts and gods."

Dinghai Shenzhu appeared after the birth of the original earth, which fits the theory of the number of lands, but it is a well-known congenital spiritual treasure, so it can be seen that it occupies the number of days.

Therefore, there must be more than 24 Dinghai Divine Beads.

In ancient times, numbers were also divided into yin and yang, and nine is the largest yang number, so if numbers are used to express auspicious meaning, either nine or a multiple of nine.

For example, the emperor is the lord of the ninety-five years. In the original "Journey to the West", the master and apprentice went through ninety-nine and 81 hardships, which contains the principle of ninety-nine returning to one great perfection. Most of the steps in regular temples are 180, 360 or other multiples of nine. .

36 is equal to 25 plus nine, 25 is the number of days, and nine is the pole of the positive number.

36 is also equal to thirty plus six, thirty is the earth number, and six is ​​the pole of the yin number.

A 36 contains the number of days, the number of land, the poles of yang numbers, and the poles of yin numbers.

In fact, Dinghai Pearl is a set of magic weapons, and there are 36 pieces in total!
Before dying, Jiutoujiao said that there is Dinghaizhu in Anle Town, not a lie, but an absolutely true fact.

Chu Xin heard what the Nine-headed Jiao said at the time, and thought that before he ascended to the heaven, although there was a description of the Dinghaizhu in the original "Fengshen Yanyi" on earth, it didn't mean that there were only 24 of them.

Then, there are obviously 36 Dinghai pearls in the full set, so why are there twelve missing during the Conferred God War?

Congenital spirit treasures, born from the heavens and the earth, not refined by humans, gods, ghosts and demons, the spirit treasures that are naturally conceived are extremely powerful!

An ordinary human immortal, if he controls an innate spirit treasure, he can cross the four realms and completely defeat the Taiyi Golden Immortal!

Who has the ability to hide the innate spirit treasure?
Although the sage of heaven has this ability, he can't hide it forever.It is the limit to suppress it for tens of thousands of years through mana. Even if it is sealed with a special formation, the seal will naturally disintegrate after hundreds of millions of years.

Therefore, apart from Daoist Hongjun who merged with Pan Gu's universe and the Dao of Heaven, I am afraid that no one has this ability!

Just because the function of Dinghai Shenzhu is too peculiar, it is simply against the sky!

People in the world often say that certain imaginations are unreal, but using Dinghai beads can actually turn these imaginations into reality without exaggeration. This is the power of evolving the world!

Use it to realize any dream!
All the laws of heaven and nature are meaningless in front of it, because its power can modify these laws and laws at will, turning imagination into reality!

However, it is not an easy matter to use Dinghai Shenzhu to evolve the world.

It cannot exert the ability to evolve the world alone, and must rely on the assistance of the laws of space and time. Otherwise, if it is used forcibly, it will be tantamount to reversing time and space and reality, and it must pay the price of completely disappearing from the long river of time.

At that time, it was with the help of Taoist Jieyin and Zhunti Taoist who provided the laws of space and time that Taoist Ran Deng successfully evolved 24 heavens with 24 Dinghai God beads, and proved the fourth-class Hunyuan Buddha status in one fell swoop. !

If all 36 Dinghai Divine Beads can be collected, I am afraid that there will be the result that Taoist Hongjun least expects to see!

Therefore, it is very difficult to find the twelve missing Dinghaishen beads.
