The Buddha said that there are six paths, which are the path of heaven, the path of asuras, the path of humans, the path of animals, the path of hungry ghosts, and the path of hell.
Of course, in Buddhism in the demon world, the term "human" is replaced by "demon".
If sentient beings cannot achieve enlightenment and become Buddhas, they can only reincarnate in these six paths and suffer the eight kinds of suffering.
The words of this family!
Practitioners who have reached a certain level all know that the source sea is the destination of all things in the world, and death is the eternal ending of living beings.
The so-called six paths and the so-called reincarnation are just like the paradise world, they are false concepts close to the divine way.
Not to mention that the Buddha said that there is a human realm among the six realms... The human race is the creation of the monster race, so isn't it nonsense to be born with six realms?
As a master of Buddhism in the demon world, a strong demon clan member once questioned Zen Master Xiong like this.
Zen Master Xiong’s answer is that the six paths of good and three evil are all ordinary people, but they are differentiated by the different realms of good and evil karma and results. The six paths themselves are not important, what is important is reincarnation.
Reincarnation is not about entering the source sea and then returning to live the same life again.
It is true that there is a paradise world. Devotees who do good deeds and observe precepts throughout their lives can enter this place after death and be with the Buddha. But this is also the Shinto world that exists in many sects, and there is nothing unusual about it.
It is true that in the Land of Ultimate Bliss, there are indeed six reincarnations, a cycle of cause and effect, and the so-called past, present, and next lives. But that's just the evolution of Shinto, and it's about enjoying yourself behind closed doors.
Except for Buddha and Bodhisattva, there are no real people and no real demons in the Ultimate Bliss. Because the other world is not real. Everything in the past has made me what I am today, and everything in the present has shaped my future body.
The past, present and next lives reflect the past, present and future. This is the true meaning of reincarnation.
When Buddhism cultivates the afterlife, it cultivates the future and grasps the present.
Those who really place their faith in the illusory afterlife are all false rumors and Hinayana! At the end of the practice, the most you can do is to dream about life and death in a pure land such as the Land of Ultimate Bliss.
The Buddha preached the Six Paths just to tell all living beings in the world that good and evil are divided, and good and evil are rewarded.
And Yu Zhen planted the Forest of Six Paths at the entrance to the world of Shenxiao, hiding the outline of reincarnation. What does he want?
Chai Yin cut off the numerous branches and leaves with one sword, revealing the original appearance of Liudao Forest. This is exactly what the clock sounds like.
The ringing of the Zhiwen bell did not come from Jiang Wang's initiative.
Under the suppression of the Dharma Protector General's pair of golden melon sledgehammers, he was in a very difficult situation. Although this divine general who protects the Dharma is only a spirit coming to the body. But at this time, Duke Xuan Nan had completed the preparations for the divine king body. What he had to do more was to maintain the balance of the divine body, prevent it from collapsing, and wait for the opportunity to call for a response from the Immemorial Imperial City's Conferred God Platform.
Nine of the statues of gods arrayed on the demon altar were able to be divided into nine to deal with Xie Ai, which shows that the mental energy has been partially liberated.
At this moment, Chai Yin picked off the Sansheng Lanyin flower, and he also channeled this part of his energy into the guardian god general. With the vision of a heavenly demon, Jiang Wang was unable to display his art skills. The skill of swordsmanship is like a child playing. He beat Jiang Wang, who even killed several demon kings, to the point where he couldn't shake the Zhiwen Bell!
Every time I try to use the Zhiwen Bell, I will be interrupted in advance.
As Xuannan Gong's mental energy continued to be liberated, the gap between the two sides became wider and wider. Even with the support of Immortal Yuzhu, Jiang Wang couldn't survive it.
During the battle, Xuan Nangong had even seen the thread of fate that tied the Zhiwen Bell to Jiang Wang when Zen Master Xing Nian's karma was aroused!
It is this thread of fate that unknowingly brings Zhiwen Zhong to Jiang Wang. Jiang Wang couldn't see it himself, and a true demon like Quan Yingyang couldn't detect it either.
At that time, Zen Master Xing Nian came to the world of Shenxiao with all his strength, unlike Duke Xuan Nan who just used the statues of gods to take action. Although he had seen this thread, he was not so easy to pull it off.
But Xing Nian is dead and he is still alive. As long as he regains one-fifth of the statue's mental power, he can wrap this thread of fate around Jiang Wang's neck.
His biggest consideration at this time was how not to waste the body of the God King after Grand Ancestor Yu Zhen refused to return... After all, it was the accumulation of many years in the Conferred God Platform!
Designed personally by Emperor Yuan Xi, the divine body specially built for the Supreme God can be said to have reached the perfection of Shinto.
If he hadn't known that there was no possibility of attaining the status of a god, he would have wanted to occupy this body! This bell rang really suddenly.
Because none of Jiang Wang's responses exceeded his expectations. He tried his best with a fighting talent that was almost as good as that of the new king Qi Weiyi, but under the gaze of the sky demon, he was like an ant moving around, using eighteen kinds of martial arts.
It's really exciting, and it's really not threatening. Only this moment is the first surprise.
In the entire Shenxiao world, all those who participated in the Shenxiao secret realm from the beginning and accepted the six-path test at the same time.
Who is the first to understand the "original unity of six paths" and to know that several teams actually exist in the same place?
It's not Lu Qilang who is born with inspiration, nor is it Zhu Lanruo who has a deep city. But Jiang Wang!
In the mirror world, he got a "bystander's wisdom". He watched the journeys of Chai Asi, Yuan Mengji, Zhu Dali, and Snake Guyu, and got a glimpse of the true meaning of the world of Shenxiao. Feel "reincarnation" and "infinite possibilities".
At the moment when Chai Yin cut the Liudao Forest with his sword and revealed its layout to the world, it was not Jiang Wang who rang the Zhiwen Bell, but his "knowledge" in the Liudao Forest, which was pursued by the Zhiwen Bell. !
When he swallowed the mirage in the red mirror, at the moment when Chai Asi and Yuan Mengji knew nothing about it, he had already noticed the difference in Liudao Forest, and also quietly left a heart in the forest. As a casual move, he really wanted to seize any possible opportunity and make every effort he could.
But this idle move had no effect. A thought that is not strong enough has already been swallowed up by the reincarnation of this forest.
On the contrary, my thoughts at that time had an echo at this moment!
At that time, he asked himself two questions in his mind - What is the connection between these six paths? What is the source of life in the Land of God's Sky?
When he first entered the world of Shenxiao and knew very little about it, he believed that only by finding the answers to these two questions could he find the possibility of returning to the real world.
Later, when I saw the Fountain of Youth and the Altar of Heavenly Demons, I came up with other ideas, and tried to implement them one by one, but they failed one by one. After his hopes were ignited and shattered again and again, he returned to this moment... He had already found the answers to these two questions!
The connection between the six paths in the Six Paths Forest is the six paths of reincarnation, good causes and evil consequences.
The source of life in the land of Shenxiao is the bubbles of fate that grow on these tree stumps in Liudao Forest!
Zhu Dali once killed a certain future of his own in one of the bubbles with the help of Taiping Taoist.
clang! clang! clang! clang!
Jiang Wang's endless thinking and exploration ushered in an explosion of inspiration at this moment, causing the Zhiwen Bell to ring continuously.
The world of Shenxiao!
A world full of hope and despair. Do you know how many wishes come true here? How many dreams have been shattered here?
Jiang Wang had rang the Zhiwen Bell countless times, wanting to call upon the World Honored One's old ways. But when he heard the bell ringing in Liudaolin, he suddenly understood——
How can the World Honored One have his old ways?
And where is not the path of the World Honored One?
The Dharma will never cease, and the World Honored One will never be destroyed.
Wherever the heart goes, so goes the body.
He Jiang Wang...can't reach it.
Even though the Buddha taught the Six Paths, this is not his path!
Although Buddhism is said to be boundless, there is no ferry for me in the sea of suffering.
But.....
If the true meaning of Shenxiao World is "infinite possibilities".
If we say that in this world, success and failure are inherently determined. So after so many "possibilities" are shattered, what kind of success will the world of Shenxiao embrace?
Jiang Wang had flashes of light in his mind, and he thought of an extremely terrifying possibility. As a human being, he must pass this possibility back to the present world. But this body is trapped and cannot fly. He couldn't even touch the door to the present world and couldn't see the direction home, so how could he deliver the message?
How to do?
....
At this moment, there is a subtle change in the world of Shenxiao
is happening. That was another fundamental change in this world that occurred after the reshaping of time and space.
Chai Yin stood calmly, looking at Liudaolin calmly and listening to the Zhiwen Bell. His eyes were so distant, as if he were watching the ascetic practices of the World Honored One.
That great being who was born at the end of the ancient times, became enlightened in the middle ages, and showed great brilliance in the dragon-chasing battle in Lieshan Mountain, regardless of monsters, humans, dragons, or demons, he taught the Dharma without any bias. How high is his realm and his holy life?
This is the magnificent scenery on the path of spiritual practice. Although it is divided into human and demon, it still makes him yearn for it.
Now, holding the three-life orchid flower that he has cultivated for a long time in his hand, he has achieved the possibility of penetrating the three lives and grasping the past, present and future. As long as he takes this last step, he can achieve transcendence.
Then he can also spy on the realm of the World Honored One. He also had the opportunity to see the scenery that the World Honored One saw.
After more than three thousand years of planning, now is the time to reap the rewards.
The battle with Ying Yunnian can end in victory today!
But the current predicament of the demon clan cannot be solved by more than one or two transcendences? Yu Zhen was once transcendent, so why did he raise himself to the Heavenly Demon Dharma Altar?
Yu Zhen clearly had the possibility of returning to transcendence, so why did he reject Yuan Xi in the end? Who can resist the scenery from the top?
Don’t you see what the tiger Tai Sui is doing? He did everything he could, even provoking the majesty of the ancient imperial city!
There is no Yu Zhen in the world, so no demon can understand Yu Zhen's decision.
No matter Xuan Nangong, Ji Xingkong, or any of the demons in Moyun City at this moment. Emperor Yuan Xi may have understood, but he only sighed.
Now it's Chai Yin's turn.
This Buddha taught the Six Paths, and Yu Zhen planted the forest of the Six Paths. Of course Chai Yin can read it.
He understood too much after cutting through the Six Paths Forest with one sword! He understood Yu Zhen.
The Forest of Six Paths in this world of Shenxiao may be the place where those young monsters are most likely to gain something. It is a pity that the twelve young monsters who entered the Liudao Forest and endured the test were dead and wounded, and only a few were left.
He stood on the only mountain path after the two mountains were broken.
Looking around, he saw only the demon Luo Jia Na Ling Xi Hua whose courage had long since broken, and Lu Qilang who had one of his two demonic signs cut off. Of course, I also saw Snake Guyu hiding in the corner of the world further away, and Zhu Dali chasing after him.
And this body...this Chai Asi who has achieved enlightenment but still doesn't know where the road is or how far he can go.
These are the future of the demon clan. In other words, it is part of the future of the demon clan. No one can believe that they can fight against the human race in the future.
Compared with Jiang Wang, who was fighting desperately with Xuan Nan Gong, they all paled in comparison!
It should be noted that Lu Qilang, Ling Xihua, Zhu Lanruo, Yang Yu, and Shu Jialan, when these five demon clan geniuses were in their prime, were chasing Jiang Wang, three of them were killed by Jiang Wang, and the other two were seriously injured!
but.....
Although Ling Xihua's courage was broken, he never gave up his fight. Just like the humblest but most tenacious reptile, no matter how much you despise or hate him, he can always find the soil for his survival.
Even though Yaozheng was cut off, Lu Qilang didn't lose any confidence. He had always known that it was him, Shikashiro, who was powerful, not his magical powers. A thousand times or ten thousand times, he still dared to face Jiang Wang.
Although Shegu Yu is ruthless and indifferent, he has extremely strong vitality. For "living", there is a persistence that no one can match. Living is the most powerful word, and living means infinite possibilities.
Although Zhu Dali is nothing special, his burning ideal gives him a light that no one can ignore.
Although Chai Asi was mediocre in talent before, he now has a brave character. Is the future worth it?
Perhaps an answer is not needed.
Chai Yin suddenly laughed loudly: "Feiguang Feiguang, I'll give you a glass of wine and I'll give you three thousand years!" At this moment, his arrogance gave Chai Asi's face, which was not outstanding, a soul-stirring brilliance.
He laughed and waved the rusty iron sword, like holding a wolf's hair, turning all the heroic spirit and sword energy into thick ink, splashing it freely,
On the back of the stele in front of Liudao Forest, there are four big characters written -
"What a joy."
There is a stone tablet in front of Liudao Forest.
There are words in front of and behind the monument.
On the front it says "Visitors come from afar."
On the back it says "It's a joy."
This is a conversation between two great ancestors of the demon clan, spanning time and space.
Perhaps they have never met before and have never crossed paths in their lives.
When they shined, they were not in the same era.
But here and now, we may become close friends!
Those who share the same goals will always meet in the mountains and rivers!
This sentence that Yu Zhen started and Chai Yin picked up, "It's a joy to have guests coming from afar." is almost the same as a sage's words in the Confucian classics of the human race.
The first sentence of the opening chapter of "The Analects of Confucius" says, "Isn't it true to say that one should learn and practice it over time? Isn't it a joy to have friends come from afar? Isn't it a gentleman if a person doesn't get confused if he doesn't know?"
This sentence was annotated by the great Confucian as "the door to the Tao and the foundation of virtue." How similar it is here.
This is called the true nature of the great road, where all things return to one!
In the midst of the indulgent laughter, Chai Yin crushed the Sansheng Orchid Flower in his hand without any nostalgia and with a cool posture. It's like throwing away a broken leaf.
Little bits of flying light scattered across the sky and earth.
His laughter died down.
Chai Asi suddenly woke up and regained control of his body. He held the rusty iron sword again and saw the Sea of Ten Thousand Gods, the Conferred God Platform, thousands of statues of gods, and Lu Qilang and the others.
At a loss for a moment!
He knew best what was going on and was the most speechless.
The relationship with Chai Yin was so short, but from fear, resentment, suspicion, to shock, excitement, and now almost admiration!
Chai Yin gave up the easy-to-get transcendence and gave all three thousand years of time and three thousand years of planning to the demon clan. He is confident that despite these three thousand years of struggle, he can still achieve transcendence again! He is confident that the three thousand years of effort are worth it!
The demon's life span is ten thousand years old, I'll bet half my life on it! What a big heart and courage!
The changes in the world of Shenxiao never stop for a moment.
The golden melon hammer of the guardian general had already blocked Jiang Wang's time and space. But the ripples of cause and effect briefly drove him away.
The ripples don't stop at Jiang Wangxuan Nangong, or Lu Qilang Lingxihua? Everyone in this world can feel the power of cause and effect at this time.
These causal ripples do not originate from the Zhiwen Bell. Instead, it originated from Liudaolin, rushed within the rules of the world, and caused waves in the entire world of Shenxiao!
After the remains of Feiguang were destroyed, the world of Shenxiao rebuilt the order of time and space.
After the Forest of Six Paths was opened, the world of Shenxiao began to establish cause and effect and construct reincarnation. The world is leaping forward!
Chai Yin's Sanshenglanyin flowers disappeared at this moment.
Bo! Bo! Bo!
The bubbles of fate on the tree stumps of Liudaolin were shattered one after another!
Yu Xin was born with a pair of beautiful silver feathers and wanted to inherit Yu Zhen's treasure and become a veritable "Little Yu Zhen".
Xiong San wanted to take revenge on the Three Evil Lords.
Zhu Xie has many plans, wants to have both sides, and wants to truly rise, so that Zhu Lanruo's "brother" has real feelings.
Spider Lanruo holds the Lanyin Xuguo, and after Spider Yi withdraws from the game, he acts as a chess player, trying to win his own game.
Yang Yu brings Zhiwen Zhong into the game, hoping to win everything for Gu Nanshan. Shu Jialan is determined to seize the Zhiwen Zhong.
Lu Qilang wanted to cross the divine sea and seize the divine infant, seeking his own opportunity. Ling Xihua wants to become the first true spirit race in the world.
Yuan Meng desperately wanted to return home safely, be his heavenly demon and have endless resources.
Chai Asi believed the lies of the great ancient god and thought he was a destined demon and a future emperor. Sheguyu wanted to avoid trouble and escape danger, but he didn't want to come to the world of Shenxiao at all. Zhu Dali established the ideal of Taipingdao, but Taipingdao does not exist at all!
even.
Zen Master Xing Nian hid in the demon world for five hundred years and crossed the river in a lonely boat.
I want to take Zhiwen Zhong home.
He Huating hides in a fragment of time in the past, hoping to be resurrected in the future and renew the myth.
Zhu Yi plotted to seize the Fountain of Youth and also wanted to use Hehua Pavilion as a collection.
Lu Ximing coveted the sea of ten thousand gods and coveted the divine infant, thinking that he could win everything with Quan Yingyang's move.
Quan Yingyang wants to know the truth of Shenxiao's world, invade the rules of this new world, and take a long-term step on his own path. He wants to avenge Xizai, the blood dog, and he also wants to get whatever he wants from the genius of the human race.
Zhuxian wants to get back everything the Zhu family planned, wants to bring back the traces of Lan Yinxuguo, and wants Chai Yin to make amends.
After Tiger Taisui had a glimpse of the road to transcendence, he also wanted to invade the Conferred God Platform and accelerate his achievement to the top.
Cicada's destiny is in the Shenxiao Bureau. First, he wants to take possession of everything, and then he wants to take back the Zhiwen Bell.
Ji Xingkong laid out two unrelated lines from the beginning. One line was to snatch the Zhiwen Bell, and the other was to pick the fruit of Tiger Tai Sui. Finally, after teaching the magic to the demon Luo Jana, he fell in love with the three-life orchid flower.
The Winter Emperor Xie Ai came specifically for the flower of Sanshenglan, and even spent a huge price to take action in another life, but the flower bloomed and fell without her chance.
Duke Xuannan wanted to complete Yuan Xi's edict, promote the edict of the Supreme God, and observe his own path to transcendence.
Emperor Yuan Xi wants to resurrect Yu Zhen!
At this last moment, Chai Yin crushed the Sansheng Orchid Flower he had cultivated, and personally destroyed his easy success... and shattered the biggest bubble of fate.
No matter what the origin, no matter what cultivation level, no matter how much preparation has been done.
All the things I have wished for in the past...are all in vain! On the other side of infinite possibilities and infinite changes.
A figure wearing a white jade crown and white clothes came from the depths of time. And a domineering and stern figure wearing a crown walked deeper into time. The former was Yu Zhen, who had previously discussed matters with Emperor Yuan Xi.
The latter is Chai Yin, who has only manifested his image in the Chai'a Sea of Four Consciousnesses. Yu Zhen lowered his head slightly and said politely, "Thank you, fellow Taoist!"
Chai Yin returned the gift and said, "Thank you, fellow Taoist!" He thanked him for his help.
He thanked him for the sacrifice he made for the demon clan.
They met for the only time in their lives on the river of time. It has never happened before and it will never happen again.
We meet, and then we meet each other.
Everyone goes his own way, moving forward.
Yu Zhen walked in the sky above the long river of time, opened his big sleeves, and said to everyone alone: "You all rely on me to achieve enlightenment, and I will also achieve enlightenment!"
boom! boom! boom!
clang! clang! clang!
The world is changing violently, and the Zhiwen bell is ringing like crazy! The mountains and rivers split into valleys, and the plains turned into rivers.
The rain is as sudden as an arrow, and the wind is as violent as crying.
The sun is shining brightly, and the mud and rocks are like dragons.
All beings in this world, whether you are a god, a demon king, or a real demon, can only watch this change happen.
All possibilities in the world of Shenxiao have been exhausted, and all foreshadowings have been revealed. At this moment, there is true "innocence outside the sky", and no one can interfere with all this.
Regardless of the human race or the demon race, no existence can stop Yu Zhen.
This is a world with infinite possibilities, but in this game of Shenxiao, all possibilities are not established, all dreams are shattered, and all plans have failed!
At this moment when cause and effect are established, reincarnation is recast, and the world leaps forward, the rules of this world themselves must restore their "fairness."
Try your best to get something, and everyone will gain something!
After the "cause" of failure is superimposed to the extreme, the "result" of success must be achieved!
This game has eluded all existences in the past and present, including countless demon clan geniuses and many demon clan powerful men who have settled in this world for tens of thousands of years. Even Xuan Nangong, who is in charge of the Conferred God Platform, does not know the inside story!
Of course, I also hid it from the human race!
Whether it is the debris of the flying light or the fountain of youth, including the mirage dragon, including everything accumulated in this world for tens of thousands of years, they are all the resources of this great world that is leaping into its essence.
No matter who you are, participating in the Shenxiao Bureau is achieving the Shenxiao Bureau.
All those who want to achieve enlightenment through the world of Shenxiao are achieving Yu Zhen's "Tao".
This "Tao" does not allow him to go further after transcending. This "Tao" is the world of Shenxiao itself!
In this last Shenxiao game, Yu Zhen ruined the plans of everyone who entered the game, including his own resurrection.
Lose everything and gain this.
Achievement may be the most impossible [possibility] in this era!
Because what he needs to fight in this step is the master of this world, who suppresses the human race in all heavens and worlds!
He failed in the fight for the throne and left the Sea of Chaos in order to find a way for the demon clan.
But in the sea of chaos, there is no way for the demon clan. As early as ancient times, "possibility" has been cut off by the human race.
Later, he returned to the world of Shenxiao, extended the life of Emperor Yuan Xi with his detached body, and then raised himself as the Heavenly Demon Dharma Altar... What he wanted was this moment, today, a bridgehead to communicate with the outside world, an opening to the world. The key that has been locked away by the demon clan for thousands of years!
The world of Shenxiao is open to all existences in the outside world and treats them equally.
And "openness" is the greatest [possibility] we seek in this world!
For tens of thousands of years since then, the world of Shenxiao has been open to the demon world! Open to the world! Open to all heavens and all realms!
From now on, the demon clan... is no longer a prisoner!
