At this time, the statue of the Great Buddha above the Main Hall collapsed without warning, and a soft force surged out.
Not long after, a kind-hearted Buddha appeared above.
Yan opened his eyes at this time, and then looked at Dao Wuya.
The golden light is overflowing, the Buddha Dharma is boundless, and lotuses are born step by step. The lotus flowers that emerge from the mud and remain unstained are now paved with a smooth road. At this time, I step on the lotus flowers and come step by step.
With his hands and feet, as white as white jade and suet, and his whole body shining with golden light, he came to Dao Wuya and said, "The Imperial Master is even more powerful than what is rumored."
"Bodhisattvas, Venerable Arhat, it is natural that they are no match for the National Master." The Buddha looked at the other Bodhisattvas, Venerable Arhat.
"Amitabha." Many Bodhisattvas, including Venerable Arhat, looked at the Buddha with kind eyes and clasped their hands together, recited the Buddha's name, and then retreated directly.
…
"Is the Buddha out of seclusion?" Dao Wuya looked at the Buddha and asked with a smile.
"The Imperial Master has successively defeated my Bodhisattva, Venerable Arhat, and the Little Buddha dare not neglect him." The Buddha's posture was very low, and he actually called himself Little Buddha in front of Dao Wuya.
"Buddha is too polite." Dao Wuya shook his head at this time: "The Taoist method is only slightly better in terms of secrecy. Dao is just using tricks. If he really competes with the Bodhisattvas and Arhats, Dao You will definitely lose."
"The Imperial Master is too humble." The Buddha smiled slightly at this time, with a pair of golden eyes that almost looked through Dao Wuya: "I see that the magic power in the Imperial Master's body is continuous, and there is a faint tendency to attack the highest position."
"I've been separated for three days, and I'm really impressed."
Dao Wuya was shocked and looked at the Buddha in surprise. He was indeed a ninth-grade Buddha. He could actually see through the magic power in his body? ?
Dao Wuya specializes in the Taoist heavenly secret technique, and has secret blessings. Even if he is like a dragon, he will hide it in his body and will not let it out, and will not be seen through by anyone.
But what Buddha just said was actually a nod to himself.
Of course, at this point today, Dao Wuya is no longer worried about being seen through by others. It will always be a matter of time.
He is indeed going to hit that supreme position, and the reason for everything is because he made the most correct choice before.
Made a deal with Fang Yi.
The "Tao Jing" given to him by Fang Yi made Dao Wuya, who had already given up on pursuing the highest position, suddenly become enthusiastic.
Using the "Tao Jing" as a reference, he has found a smooth path to the sky, which was almost impossible for him.
This also changed his previous thoughts. According to the previous idea, Dao Wuya's idea was to use the corpse to resurrect the soul and rebuild his life. He had previously taken a fancy to Fang Yi's body. He originally thought that if he was further hopeless, he would take the opportunity to seize the body. , rebuild your life, and reach the top again.
But now, since I can continue walking, I'm not in a hurry.
But Fang Yi's body was still in his alternative plan. After resurrecting Fang Yi last time, Dao Wuya fully realized Fang Yi's genius.
With a strong martial arts body, immortality, super high Confucianism and Taoist talent, it is simply a top-notch cauldron. This body is still full of temptation for Dao Wuya.
This is no exaggeration.
"There is no need to worry, Imperial Master." As if he could see that Dao Wuya was a little nervous, the Buddha hurriedly said: "I would also like to invite the Imperial Master to come in and talk."
As he spoke, the Buddha gently clicked, and a huge lotus door opened in mid-air.
The Buddha stretched out his hand and invited Dao Wuya to come in and talk.
Dao Wuya did not hesitate and entered the lotus gate alone.
The Buddha's figure also disappeared at this time.
Dao Wuya felt that his consciousness was in a trance, and then he came to another world.
There is a huge lotus pond here. The lotus pond is still full of lotus flowers, but the lotus flowers here are all decayed. The black lotus flowers have no vitality at all.
In the center of the lotus pond, there is a huge golden lotus. On top of the lotus, Buddha is sitting upright.
But when Dao Wuya saw Buddha, he was stunned.
Is this person in front of me Buddha? ?
In front of him was a haggard man. He was so skinny and old that he looked like a handful of bones and a layer of human skin.
This image is completely different from the image of Buddha that Dao Wuya saw just now.
The man before had an extraordinary bearing, and he looked like a Buddha at first glance. He looked like he could save all sentient beings, but the withered old man in front of him didn't look like a Buddha at all.
"This is the first time that the Imperial Master has seen my true face." Buddha spoke at this time, with difficulty revealed in his tone.
"I have lived for too long, too long. Logically speaking, I should not continue to live at all, but I am still living." Buddha said at this time, his voice hoarse: "I have lived for about six or seven years. It has been too long, and my vitality has long been deprived and eroded by time."
"Everything depends on it, so that we can continue to survive." Buddha continued to speak, pointing to the lotus pond under it.
Only then did Dao Wuya notice that the lotus pond in front of him seemed to be an incredible treasure.
At this time, new lotus flowers were constantly growing in the lotus pond, but those lotus flowers were soon swallowed up by the terrifying devouring force from the lotus pond, swallowing up the golden lotus under the Buddha. , constantly exuding a terrifying and decaying aura, which was transmitted to the lotus flowers below, causing those lotus flowers to quickly turn into a gray color again.
Dao Wuya immediately realized that this was what the Buddha said was his method of resisting the deprivation and erosion of time.
Thinking of this, Dao Wuya also felt endless sadness in his heart.
What the Buddha is going through now is not what he is worried about. How can one achieve immortality if there are three thousand avenues?
In this world, no one can achieve immortality, no one is exempt.
It seems that the Buddha is also a ninth-grade strong man, but he is just lingering.
"If the future Buddha hadn't been found yet, I wouldn't be willing to linger here, so I might as well commit suicide." The Buddha sighed at this time.
Dao Wuya understands that there is also inheritance in Buddhism, and Buddhism pays attention to the past, present and future.
In the realm of Buddha, there are past Buddhas, present Buddhas, and future Buddhas.
The past Buddha has disappeared and no longer exists. The Buddha in front of you is the present Buddha.
The future Buddha is the hope of Buddhism.
"Future Buddha?" Dao Wuya asked at this time: "Is the Buddha whereabouts?"
"Yes." Buddha nodded slightly, and then said with a smile: "But, don't say it."
Dao Wuya nodded to express his understanding and asked no more questions.
The Buddha spoke again at this time and said: "The national master came here, presumably to ask for help from my Buddhist sect?"
"Dali is now surrounded by dangers. The Gu tribe, demons, and barbarians are all watching." Dao Wuya explained Dali's situation in a few words: "I came here this time on the order of Emperor Wuwei to ask Buddha to lend a helping hand. "
"Before you, King Gu also sent an envoy here." The Buddha did not regard Dao Wuya as an outsider at all, and told him everything as if he were pouring beans into Dao Wuya's bamboo tube.
"But, National Master, you have now seen my situation." Buddha continued: "Dali is currently in a precarious situation. We are both human beings. It stands to reason that Buddhism cannot stand idly by."
"But King Gu is in the spotlight now, and he is a strong man of the ninth level." The Buddha began to analyze the current situation at this time: "The Barbarian King is said to have reached the realm of impacting the ninth level, and the National Master, you, with your divine calculations, naturally know that the Barbarian King will break through. Maybe it’s overwhelming.”
"Buddhism can't take action." Buddha directly refused Dao Wuya at this time: "Emperor Wuwei is wise and powerful, maybe he can turn disaster into good luck. Buddhism now only has preliminary whereabouts and clues about the future Buddha, so he can train the future Buddha to become a ninth-grade strong man. "If it doesn't take a hundred years, it will take eighty years."
"Buddhism can only protect its inheritance from being cut off from me first, but other than that, it can't help with more help."
"But one thing I can guarantee is that Buddhism will never collude with the Gu tribe, barbarians, and demons, and will never stand on the opposite side of Dali. I also ask the National Master to convey this to Your Majesty." Buddha said at this time He said with unspeakable sincerity: "Your Majesty, please understand and don't blame Buddhism."
After hearing what the Buddha said, Dao Wuya was as expected, but he showed no more expressions and remained silent for a moment.
"If the Imperial Master has nothing to do, you can stay in the Western Regions for a while and experience the customs of the Western Regions." Buddha spoke again at this time: "But I am afraid that the Buddhists will not be able to send reinforcements."
Dao Wuya raised his head at this time and said: "Dao knows, thank you very much for the hospitality, but Dao still has a mission, so he won't stay here."
"The Buddha's intention will be conveyed to His Majesty truthfully." Dao Wuya knew very well that the Buddha had shown him his true face, which meant that the Buddha would definitely not take action.
Without taking action, Buddhism still retains a veil of mystery, and no one knows what Buddha's condition is or what he looks like.
But everyone knows that there is a ninth-grade Buddha in Buddhism, and neither the barbarians nor the Gu tribe dare to attack Buddhism easily.
But once you get involved, you will naturally become the enemy of the Gu tribe and the barbarians. By then, Buddhism's trump card will be exposed, and it is very likely that it will perish faster.
If Dao Wuya were Buddha, it would be impossible for him to take action at this time.
"Thank you, Master." The Buddha closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Behind Dao Wuya, a lotus door opened again, and Dao Wuya retreated.
At the same time, the Buddha also sighed: "The future Buddha was born a year ago. It seems that we need to act quickly. If the future Buddha is not allowed to return to his place, how will we deal with the next crisis?"
"Manjusri Bodhisattva, Lord Subduing the Dragon." The Buddha spoke in a low voice at this time.
Not long after, two Buddhist masters appeared.
"Please hurry up and find the future Buddha." The Buddha said calmly at this time.
"Respect the decree of the Dharma." Manjushri Bodhisattva and the Subduing Dragon Arhat responded in unison.
