On a vast ocean without water, there will be more than three boats missing. What changes will the two most mysterious people in the world bring to the martial arts world in the future?
"This tea is bitter and astringent, sometimes astringent, sometimes watery. It seems to have a burnt taste, but it is sweet and mellow. Sweet, bitter, and astringent, all kinds of flavors are in my heart, ha~" After commenting on Quezhou's tea art, Wu Mengsheng let out another chuckle. .
"Sir, this tea is really surprising." Quezhou said, explaining the mystery of this tea.
"This tea is a reflection of the life of the person who drinks it. Mr. Sanyu has experienced too much in his life and has been burdened with too much. Therefore, your life will be like tea with various flavors in your heart.
"
"Thank you sir for your explanation. Let's get back to the topic." Wu Mengsheng said the reason for inviting Quezhou for a while.
"The main reason why Sanyu invited Mr. Xi for a while was to clarify his position.
Quezhou replied: "I am a member of the Buddhist sect, and the Buddhist stance is my stance."
"
"From the beginning of Lord Shaoyang, to King Miao, Shenquxing, Tiankuixing, to later Emperor Yuanxie, Prince Demon, and maybe even Emperor Yuliang. Now, here comes Quezhou Yifandu again. Good friend His identity and position have changed several times, so I really have no way of judging him." When he said this, Wu Mengsheng observed Que Zhou's expression calmly.
Regarding Wu Mengsheng's question, Quezhou didn't show any reaction, but reiterated: "Quezhou will always be Quezhou, and my position will never change." Seeing this, Wu Mengsheng continued to ask: "Is this true? Do you represent Mr. Buddhism?" Quezhou further clarified his position,
"In other words, Quezhou's position is the Buddhist position."
"So, as long as you say a word, sir, this Buddhist catastrophe can be ended?" Wu Mengsheng asked the most critical question of this meeting.
Que Zhou asked in return: "Buddhist catastrophe, how can you use this word?"
"The return of the demon Buddha Bo Xun will usher in the age of the end of the Dharma. Thousands of dharmas have become a dream and a bubble. Shouldn't it be called a Buddhist catastrophe?" Sanyu Wumeng Sheng asked the question to Quezhou.
"Alas~ Actually, Bo Xun's initial form was not what everyone knows now.
"From the mouth of Quezhou, a hidden history of the Buddhist world is narrated.
"In the past ten days, the demon Buddha came to the world in a body of three spirits. Full of great aspirations for the world, he preached the belief in the realm of desire. Encountered by the founder of the original hometown of Tianfo, 'Consciousness Only Jade Bodhi' and other Buddhas, he regarded them as heretics in Buddhism, and called on all Buddhists to They established the 'Unholy Buddha to Cleanse the World of Sin' and attacked Bo Xun in unison. In the long years of fighting, Bo Xun became what everyone knows today." Wu Mengsheng shook his feather fan lightly and said: "It seems that Mr. The attitude towards Bo Xun seems to be different from mainstream Buddhism." Que Zhou said
"In the past, when the World Honored One was about to realize the Buddha's fruition, Bo Xun, one of the demons, came to stop him. Later, he often followed the Buddha and his disciples, causing chaos and causing trouble. Wherever he went, he was all over the city of Rajagaha and adjacent to the Buddha. The Buddha and his disciples can be seen in the city of Sāli, the country of Paranai, the settlement of Yuthara, the settlement of the Brahmans of Sara, the settlement of the Shizhu Shishi, the forest of the women of Ujupāli Brahma, the forest of Bochi Shouzuo Mountain, etc. Waves can appear wherever you are. Waves not only appear at important moments after the Buddha's enlightenment and before his death, but also frequently appear when the Buddha is walking alone, lying down, meditating, begging, and giving sermons to monks or the four groups. At that time, he often appeared alone in front of the Buddha's disciples. Through other scriptures, he had confrontations with the World Honored One and his disciples. It is said that the World Honored One also had a 'confrontation' with Bo Xun before he became enlightened." Wu Mengsheng shook his feather fan lightly and said He did not express his attitude, but simply stated in summary: "It is recorded in Buddhist classics that Bo Xun hindered the practice of the Buddha and his disciples." Quezhou Yifandu continued: "The sage Ananda once asked the Buddha: World Honored One! Before and after! The Dharma, the majestic light alone shines, but now that everyone is gathering, the light does not appear. Why is this? There must be a reason, and I am willing to hear its meaning. The Buddha was silent and did not answer, and so on the third day, the Buddha said to Ananda: After my nirvana, the Dharma desires At the time of annihilation, in the turbulent world of the Five Rebellions, the demonic path flourishes, the demon acts as a recluse, disrupts our path, wears common clothes, enjoys cassocks, wears five-colored clothes, drinks alcohol and eats meat, kills with greed, has no compassion, and even hates and envy each other. There are Bodhisattvas, Pratyekabuddhas, and Arhats who diligently cultivate their virtues, treat them with all respects, be respected by all, educate and teach them equally, show pity to the poor and care for the elderly, help the poor and needy, constantly use sutras and images, serve others, perform various meritorious deeds, and have great ambitions. Be kind and kind, do not harm others, do harm to others, do not cherish yourself, be patient and benevolent. If there is such a person, all the demon monks will be jealous of him, slander and promote evil, depose and drive, and will not allow him to live. It is difficult for the World Honored One to cultivate the path. , how can we prove the correctness of the Dharma without the hindrance of waves and ten days. This is why 'Sakyamuni Buddha has an extremely long lifespan. That's why. Although the physical body takes the state of annihilation, the Dharma body exists. This is its meaning. We should practice it mindfully.' The truth." Sanyu naturally understood the meaning of Quezhou,
"Sir, the return of Bo Xun can eliminate the old and outdated theories of Buddhism today, change the atmosphere and allow the true classics to be passed down." Quezhou explained the cause and effect in the hometown of Tianfo,
"In the past, in order to fight against Bo Xun, Weishi Jade Bodhi created the Evil Buddha to cleanse the world of sins, and later built the Tathagata Sacred Artifact. Although he suppressed the Demon Buddha for a while, it also allowed him to understand the truth about the hometown of the Heavenly Buddha.
"
"Because Jade Bodhi knows very well that merits and sins coexist, let the Buddha Village help the practitioners absorb the sins, and then use the merits to purify the practitioners after they have achieved success. This is why advanced practitioners who have been tested by demons are the easiest to approach the Buddha Village reason.
"
"Therefore, in Bo Xun, he discovered the truth of the Buddha's land, sent people to infiltrate the Buddha's land, and used thousands of sins for his own use, becoming the most capable existence of destroying Buddhism today. This is cause and effect."
"If the founder of Buddha Village had chosen another way to get along with Bo Xun, perhaps Buddhism would not be in the same calamity as it is today." Que Zhou's words caused Wu Mengsheng to think deeply.
"Then, sir, what is the purpose of the world of desire, 'Kill the Buddha when you meet the Buddha, kill the ancestors when you meet the ancestors, kill the Arhats when you meet the Arhats, kill the parents when you meet the parents, kill the relatives when they meet the relatives.' How should we explain it?" Que Zhou was born without a dream. The answer: "The original meaning of this statement is that if you want to achieve the Great Dao, you must have a clear mind and not be affected by the various things mentioned above. It does not mean to kill people literally." After hearing Wan Quezhou's answer, Wu Mengsheng He asked with a smile: "I didn't expect that sir is actually proficient in the realm of desire."
"Because I..." Quezhou drank the tea in the cup in front of him, and then said slowly: "Not alone.
"As soon as he said this, Wu Mengsheng fell into deep thought. Looking up again, Wu Mengsheng asked about the meaning of the name Quezhou.
"Then let me ask, who can ferry a boat without a sail?" Que Zhou replied: "You can't ferry people without a boat, but those who have enlightenment can cross by themselves." Wu Mengsheng asked: "If everyone in the world can understand and understand, then why Is there still so much pain in the world?" Hearing the familiar question from Wu Mengsheng's mouth, Que Zhou seemed to be recalling the past.
"Your questions were once my questions."
"The question I once had, does this mean that you have now got the answer?" Faced with Wu Mengsheng's question, Quezhou Yifandu gave his answer,
"The only person who can overcome the sea of suffering and sink into it is the one who has enlightenment."
