Xitianling Mountain,
Daleiyin Temple,
The Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Arhats are not here.
There are only three supreme Buddhas in Buddhism here.
"What is Heaven's plan?"
"I don't know. Heaven seems to be deliberately delaying time and not giving Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva a clear answer."
Both the ancient Buddha Ran Deng and the current Tathagata Buddha have the ability to sense events in the three realms and around the sky. They all know what is happening in heaven at this time.
"Ahem!!! There is no way for Heavenly Court to drag on like this! With the [Baolian Lamp] in the hands of Emperor Tang, Huang-browed Tong'er and the others may have no choice but to stop Emperor Tang." Maitreya Buddha, the future Buddha, suddenly interjected.
The Ancient Buddha Ran Deng looked at Maitreya and asked with concern: "You couldn't hold it back before and remotely controlled the magic weapon to attack Emperor Tang. Is the backlash serious?"
"Cough cough cough!!! It's okay. Although it was bitten by human luck, the situation is not serious." Maitreya waved his hand.
The ancient Buddha Ran Deng nodded reassuringly when he heard this and said: "That's good, don't be so impulsive in the future. Fortunately, the main function of your [Acquired Human Seed Bag] is to bind the seal, and it does not count as directly harming Emperor Tang."
Maitreya Buddha, the future Buddha, said: "I also understand that Emperor Tang has a king's luck to protect his body. But if he didn't take action at that time, my disciple would be dead. The entire Tang Emperor's actions were extremely dark."
The ancient Buddha Ran Deng said: "Indeed, Manjusri and Puxian's green lion and white elephant died in his hands, alas~~~"
Although the green-haired lion and the yellow-tusked white elephant are just mounts, they are rare thugs in Buddhism.
The Western world where Buddhism is located is barren, has few natural resources, and not many talented people.
As a result, in order to develop the West, Sage Zhunti carried out "I have a destiny with the West!" and brought many monks from the East to fill the West.
The Green Lion and White Elephant is the mount of Samantabhadra Manjusri, and Samantabhadra Manjusri belongs to the lineage of the Randen Ancient Buddha. Therefore, the death of the Green Lion and White Elephant is a great loss to the Randen Ancient Buddha.
"My previous attack on Emperor Tang was not entirely to protect my disciple Huang Mei, but more to test him." Future Buddha Maitreya Buddha said.
"Testing?" Tathagata Buddha asked now.
"Yes! I'm just worried that the Great Heavenly Lord really intends to cause trouble for the great prosperity of our Buddhism. If Yang Chan is not allowed to take back the lotus lantern, Huang Mei Tong'er and the others will never be able to defeat the Tang Emperor." Future Buddha Maitreya said.
As soon as these words were spoken, the past Buddha and the present Buddha instantly became enlightened and knew the plans of the future Buddha.
"Are you planning to personally take action against Emperor Tang when the situation is at its worst?" Fo Randeng asked with an moved expression.
The future Buddha Maitreya Buddha shook his head and said: "No! I have no intention of killing Emperor Tang. I cannot pass away and enter reincarnation at this time."
Now Tathagata Buddha nodded and said: "Indeed, this matter cannot be done without you."
The predecessor of Buddhism is Western religion, and the land of the West is barren.
Therefore, there is an extreme lack of innate spiritual treasures.
Especially those who establish a sect must have a magic weapon to suppress luck, otherwise it will be difficult for a sect to last long.
What suppresses luck in Buddhism is the [Golden Lotus of Merit].
Originally, there were twelve grades of [Golden Lotus of Merit].
[Golden Lotus of Twelve Grades of Merit] is enough to suppress the luck of Buddhism and make Buddhism prosperous without declining.
result,
When the gods were conferring tribulations, the [Twelfth-grade Golden Lotus of Merit and Virtue] was robbed and lost its third grade, falling to the [Ninth-grade Golden Lotus].
Therefore, Buddhism at this time must have the past, present and future, the three supreme Buddhas, to assist the [Ninth Grade Golden Lotus of Merits] to suppress the fate of Buddhism.
Normally it doesn't matter,
But at the critical moment when Buddhism spreads eastward, the three supreme Buddhas are indispensable.
Otherwise, when Buddhist luck flourishes, a large amount of luck will inevitably be lost.
The future Buddha Maitreya Buddha said: "I was just testing the strength of the backlash, and then I planned to send a Buddha to take action."
The present Buddha and the past Buddha focus their attention on the future Buddha.
The future Buddha Maitreya shook his head and said: "My quasi-sage-level cultivation level attacked Emperor Tang, but it was backfired, and this was not even a killer."
The ancient Buddha Ran Deng asked: "Then do you think a Buddha can withstand the fate of a human king?"
After the Buddha Maitreya pondered for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "If you want to completely absorb the fate of the human king, without involving my fate of Buddhism, you must sacrifice one of the three of us, or nine ordinary Buddhas."
Now Tathagata Buddha shook his head and said: "This kind of gain is not worth the loss. It seems that it can only allow Avalokitesvara to further put pressure on the heaven."
···············
"Father! The compensation for the fallen soldiers has been arranged."
The middle-aged prince Li Zhi said respectfully to the person in front of him.
"Well! After all, they sacrificed their lives for the Tang Dynasty, so their families must be treated badly." Wang Ming nodded.
Li Zhi looked at his father who was younger than him on the high platform above, and felt a strong sense of unreality in his heart. He had already despaired of the throne.
He didn't think he could outlive his father.
He also gradually understood his brother Li Chengqian's psychology when he rebelled.
How can there be any reason to be a prince for seventy or eighty years?
Any prince would be tortured to death when faced with a father who is extremely patient.
"How is your practice of the "Emperor Jingshi Sutra" going?"
Li Zhi suddenly woke up from his daze and said hurriedly: "Report to my father, I have reached the eighth level of cultivation."
Wang Ming nodded with satisfaction.
The "Emperor's Jingshi Sutra" was created by Wang Ming. This technique is extremely simple and crude to practice, but at the same time it is also extremely difficult to practice.
It's simple and crude because it was originally done by Wang Ming to fool the great powers of the three realms so that his own strength can be used normally.
The main difficulty is the threshold, which must be met by luck.
As the prince, Li Zhi has had the destiny of human nature since he was born, so he has to practice extremely simply. He can reach the eighth level with just a little diligence.
The reason why he could not cultivate to the ninth level was because he did not inherit the throne.
"You should set off back to Datang immediately!" Wang Ming suddenly said.
"What?" Prince Li Zhi asked in surprise.
"You go back to Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty and take back all the ministers under the age of 50." Wang Ming said again.
"Father! What are you..."
Wang Mingdao: "The road ahead will become more difficult. I may die in the battle. In order to avoid the collapse of the Tang Dynasty, you must return to the Tang Dynasty."
Li Zhi was stunned. He didn't know whether he should be happy or sad at this time.
Wang Mingyou handed an imperial edict to Li Zhi: "Go to the Tang Dynasty and get it done!"
Li Zhi looked hesitant and said: "Father, although we can become gods, this will cause a great loss to our luck and life span, so think twice!"
Many people died during Wang Ming's Western Expedition, such as military gods Li Jing, Li Chunfeng, Yuan Tiangang and others.
The imperial edict is actually the imperial edict to confer them as gods.
"I owe no favors in my life, so go ahead and do it!"
