Just like the devil's performance, the power to attract people's souls comes from the innate Taoist text - Shan.
Based on the innate Taoist literature, Shen Gongbao created two magical powers: The Decline of Shou Yuan and the Decline of Taoist Heart. The former targets the body, while the latter targets the soul, trying to seduce the deepest and most repressed emotions in the heart.
It is easy for people to forgive others' mistakes, but it is difficult to forgive others' mistakes.
In the same way, a monk with a firm Taoist heart can admit his mistakes, but cannot directly see his own mistakes.
Shen Gongbao's words may seem confusing, but in fact they are extremely correct. They analyze the facts bit by bit and provide guidance.
The real inner demon is not illusion, but reality, not wrong, but right.
Shinto is indeed a broad road. There have been powerful figures like Tai Tiandi who have suppressed an era. Even if the era has changed and the times have changed, there are still many Shinto bigwigs who are high in the ninth heaven.
Like Ziwei Gouchen, the two great emperors are the spokespersons of the Star God lineage, and the Houtu Emperor is the spokesperson of the Netherworld Ghost God, the God of Sheji, and even the Five Emperors of Humanity. Their bloodline is still known as the God Clan and the Five Color God Clan.
Gods and immortals stand side by side. Is it because the immortal way does not want to dominate and completely eliminates the Shinto way?
This is not the case. The leader of any power wants to be the only one and be the only one.
The reason why Shinto is preserved is because the power of Shinto is too powerful, so powerful that the two gods cannot be separated and are completely entangled together.
Nowadays, many of the Immortal Dao bigwigs were high-ranking members of the Immortal Dao in the last era. At the key juncture of the era's change, they suddenly changed their identities and jumped off the broken ship of the Immortal Dao and boarded the new ship of the Immortal Dao.
The most obvious example is the Golden Mother of West Kunlun. In the last era, she was an ancient god. In this era, she is the head of the female immortals. She has the tendency to ascend to heaven, settle in Lingxiao, divide the power of the emperor of heaven, and become the great heavenly deity.
Even, in some ancient legends, Yuanshi Tianzun, one of the Three Pure dynasties, was originally an ancient god, so there were many gods under the sect of Chanjiao.
The juxtaposition of gods and immortals is not an illusion, but a tangible and visible fact.
Taking over the three thousand worlds, carrying the Tathagata's treasures, taking the path of the God of Wealth, ascending to Taiyi, and attaining the status of the Great Luo Immortal, this is an incomparably correct path.
Become a disciple of Taoist Cihang, practice the way of purity and freedom, and become a member of the Yuxu sect. There is also a chance of attaining the status of Daluo Celestial Immortal. This is also the right path.
It’s not about defeating the wrong, it’s about choosing the right.
Rather, choosing between two right things is so difficult and so testing of one's Taoist heart.
Shen Gongbao smiled softly and said: "Choosing wealth does not mean deviating from the path, but rather confirming your path to the God of Wealth. This is a wrong choice."
"Accepting the Three Thousand Great Thousand Worlds, you can become a god immediately, quickly become a Sanshu Emperor, and even ascend to the true stream. How happy it is."
"Becoming a disciple of Taoist Cihang requires hard work. I don't know when and what month I will be able to cultivate into a golden immortal and attain immortality."
"It's the same right path, one is fast and the other is slow, you can imagine how to choose."
Dragon Girl Ao Ling's heart was rippling at this moment. Yes, it is also the right path. Why don't I choose the faster one? If I become a disciple of Taoist Cihang, I must abide by the rules and be cautious. I don't know when I will be able to do so. Get the true story.
Isn't this asking for trouble? !
I'm not stupid, so why should I choose a path full of difficulties and thorns?
The way of gods, the way of immortals, different paths lead to the same destination.
Dragon Girl Ao Ling gritted her teeth and was about to agree, when the red true dragon orb in her hand slightly dimmed its brilliance, and then a cool feeling came to her mind.
There seems to be a kind and gentle voice calling: "Ling'er, have you ever remembered the intrigues in the Dragon Palace? Have you ever remembered how to practice...take your time, don't be too hasty, mother is not in a hurry, and neither are you."
Ao Ling, the dragon girl, suddenly trembled. She was peeling off cocoons in a sea of chaotic thoughts. When she saw a clear spiritual light, she recalled the unbearable memory of being humiliated and discriminated against in the Dragon Palace, and felt the oath she had made.
After her mother passed away, Ao Ling, who lost her shelter, had an extremely difficult mental journey in the Dragon Palace. Although the Dragon Palace was wealthy, it never lacked the Dragon Girl in materials.
However, the words of others, the casual remarks of the maids and guards, the disdainful glances of the brothers and sisters, and the half-smiling faces of the aunts all turned into sharp swords, stabbing Ao Ling's immature heart into thousands of wounds. hole.
Thousands of hurdles are easy to overcome, but the heart is filled with hardships.
I pursue power in order to get rid of the suffocating atmosphere of the Dragon Clan, to leave the Shinto environment of downtrodden and exalted, and to live out myself.
Now, for the sake of power, I have given up my pursuit and turned into a high-level god. Maybe it will not change for a hundred years, a thousand years, or ten thousand years. But, after a hundred thousand years, or a million years later, will I change and become the same as the dragon I hated in the past? God is exactly the same.
By then, will I still be me? !
In an instant, she broke out in a cold sweat, but her eyes were extremely clear: "I pursue power in order to gain purity and freedom, not purity for the sake of power."
"If you accept the orb, you are putting the cart before the horse and losing your original intention."
If you forget your original intention, you may become the Emperor of Taiyi, but you will definitely die when you reach the Daluo level.
If you have even lost your Taoist heart, how can you prove the Tao!
Once a thought arises, all thoughts cease.
The dragon girl immediately held up the dragon ball in her hand and presented it to Taoist Cihang. She bowed three times and kowtowed, and said categorically: "Please, Great Sage Cihang, have mercy on my disciple's heart towards Taoism."
When Shen Gongbao saw this, his heart moved, and he released the Dharma conch very cooperatively and played the Dharma sound, letting the dragon girl's voice spread through the void, making it extremely solemn, ethereal, and sacred.
Taoist Cihang held the Dharma seal in his hand, nodded and said, "Although it is not my own enlightenment, I have finally understood the bodhicitta, and it is rare to see the original nature of my body."
"Would you like to serve me as a waiter?"
"He can be regarded as a registered disciple. If he achieves positive results in the future, he can become a true disciple."
The big magic conch made Taoist Cihang's voice extremely solemn and ethereal, but Shen Gongbao always felt that something was missing. After thinking for a moment, he offered up the Jade Qing Qingyun, which attracted rays of light from the sky and condensed golden flowers and golden lanterns. The scene where the dragon girl asked was beautiful.
Yuanshi Tianzun is the ancestor of Yuan Qi, boundless in chaos, and his disciples of Yuxu have the power to interpret the way of heaven. They are also close to Yuan Qi, sense the void, and create numerous visions through Qingyun. They are natural, extremely beautiful, and have no trace of fraud. .
Shen Gongbao smiled knowingly. He had the power to interpret the way of heaven. He could not only be a lawyer, but also a scene artist!
"Disciple is willing to uphold it."
Looking at the many visions, the dragon girl was unwilling to do anything, so she thanked him profusely, cried with joy, and bowed after receiving the offer.
"That's good, that's good."
"Come into my door and I will give you a prophecy."
Taoist Cihang smiled slightly, picked up the true dragon orb that contained three thousand worlds, and moved it towards the center of the dragon girl's eyebrows, leaving a red lotus mark, which bloomed with infinite light and bred infinite compassion.
Master Shen, who is responsible for advocating, part-time screenwriting, directing, lighting, art, photography, recording, and scenes on one side, was slightly stunned, and suddenly remembered the time when he ascended in the Yuanyang Realm.
It seems that a Brahma flower has fallen. It is golden and flawless, just like glass. It also contains three thousand worlds. It is flying towards the center of my eyebrows. It is very similar to the current scene. It seems that the Tathagata is sitting on the lotus and stretching out his finger.
"So this is a prophecy!"
Only then did Shen Gongbao return to his senses, and his expression darkened. No wonder the golden lotus didn't want any merit, and even gave him a treasure.
It turns out that I don’t care about my own merit, but I care about myself as a person.
People have returned to Buddhism, and there is no need to talk about mere merit.
"This prehistoric period is really dangerous." Shen Gongbao muttered in his heart. He was about to turn into a monk if he was not careful. It was really scary.
I must hold high the banner of the Sanqing Dynasty and adhere to the idea of developing immortality with Yuxu Palace as the core... take promoting the spirit of Taoism and defeating the bald donkey of Buddhism as my purpose...
When Shen Gongbao was thinking wildly, the red lotus mark between the dragon girl's eyebrows shone brightly. With the power of her merits and vows, she suddenly turned into a Buddha body and fulfilled the bodhisattva conduct.
In an instant, he lived in the world of the glazed red dragon and the untainted orb, sat in the lotus flower, and attained perfect enlightenment. The light of the Buddha shone across the three thousand great thousand worlds, and he preached the wonderful Dharma to all sentient beings in the ten directions.
Shen Gongbao was stunned and lost his voice: "Is this how you become a Buddha?!"
Just such a child's play, so careless, without any warning?
Taoist cheating also pays attention to the logic of a charter, which is gradual and cyclical.
You Buddhist cheats, can you please pay attention to some rules?
This is the Buddha's fruition status, not some heretic Mingwang, Thug Vajra, or Arhat Bodhisattva. It is the Buddha's status according to the Eight Sutras.
Taoist Cihang smiled calmly and said, "I predict for him that Dragon Girl Ao Ling will become a Buddha in the future star kalpa, and she will be named the Immaculate Pure Tathagata, and there will be a world of the Buddha's Land of Glazed Red Dragon Immaculate Orb."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the originally delicate, thin and ordinary dragon girl sitting on the lotus. There was flesh on the top of her head, which was bulging like a bun. There were white hairs between her eyebrows. She was as soft as a tuft of cotton. She was one foot and five feet long. , twisting to the right and curling up, so that it always emits light... All these, with thirty-two characteristics and eighty good characteristics, are the characteristics of the Buddha.
In the three thousand great thousand worlds, countless bodhisattvas, sravakas, gods, dragons, humans, and non-human beings all see him from afar and pay homage with joy.
All the sentient beings in the Orb World praised in unison: "Namo Future Dragon Girl Buddha, Namo Future Immaculate Pure Tathagata..."
Shen Gongbao suddenly felt numb, and felt that if the welfare of Buddhism was so good, he wouldn't be able to betray some non-existent moral integrity.
Anyway, after the Catastrophe of Conferring Gods, the disciples of the three religions will all have to go about their lives. One more person is not more, and one less person is not more.
Watching the dragon girl become a Buddha, Shen Gongbao thought for a moment, and was about to speak when he suddenly shuddered, remembered something, and asked tentatively: "Sister, I remember that in Western teachings, women cannot become a Buddha, right?"
Theravada Buddhism believes that women are filthy, not instruments of magic, and have serious sins. They cannot become Brahma, Sakyamuni, Mara, Chakravartin, or Buddha, and there are no women in the Pure Land.
These concepts all contradict Mahayana Buddhism’s idea that all sentient beings can become Buddhas.
"Before I come, women cannot become Buddhas. After I come, all living beings can become Buddhas."
Taoist Cihang's words were calm, but full of domineering, pointing directly at Hinayana Buddhism, which is the fundamental teaching of Western religion today.
He wants to change, or in other words, they want to change Buddhism.
Shen Gongbao suddenly felt ashamed and couldn't help asking: "Can the Second Saint agree?"
Taoist Cihang is very powerful, and behind him are Samantabhadra, Manjusri, Ran Deng, and even Taoist Duobao, who teach three thousand mortals. Even in the ancient times, he was a powerful force, gathering the elites of the three religions.
But, the two sages of the West, that is Hunyuan Daluo, a saint!
When comparing an ordinary Daluo with the two sages of the West, the gap is as vast as the abyss, even wider than the gap between a mortal and a Daluo.
As time passes by, there are only a few eternal protagonists in heaven and earth, and the Two Saints of the West are among them.
Taoist Cihang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, clasped his hands and said: "Namo's master, Sakyamuni Buddha, the World Honored One is the master of Buddhism. If Buddha agrees, the two saints cannot stop him."
Sakyamuni!
Shen Gongbao's pupils shrank, this big boss was also in the prehistoric times, this was the true ancestor of Buddhism, and he existed side by side with the Supreme Being.
If this person was in the prehistoric times, in what form would he live in this world? !
Dharmakaya, sambhogakaya, or response body? !
"If Sakyamuni were alive..." Shen Gongbao asked in confusion: "Senior Brother Duobao went there, it seems useless?"
With Sakyamuni around, not to mention many treasures, even Master Xuandu couldn't do anything in the past. Even Amitabha couldn't compete with Sakyamuni for the position of the leader of the Buddhist sect.
"Junior brother, have you ever met the Supreme Being?"
Taoist Cihang did not answer, but asked another question.
Too much? !
Shen Gongbao was slightly startled, and was about to answer Taishang Daozu, isn't he in the Eight Views Palace?
But when he regained consciousness for a moment, he suddenly fell into deep thought.
In the Eight Scenery Palace is the Taoist Supreme Being, the Taoist Taiqing. The Supreme Supreme Being transforms the three pure beings into one qi. Could it be said that the Taoist Supreme Being is an incomplete Supreme Being?
"Your Majesty, Sakyamuni...isn't in the prehistoric period?"
Shen Gongbao pondered for a long time and couldn't help but ask
Could it be said that these two big guys exist in some unimaginable and unpredictable way?
"Actually, I don't know either." Taoist Cihang smiled slightly and spread his hands. He did not look like a compassionate Bodhisattva or an enlightened immortal, but rather like a rogue monkey.
"Huh?!" Shen Gongbao was suddenly stunned. He just wanted to say one thing, senior sister, you are playing with me.
"But, at least the one sitting on the Lingshan Mountain is not Sakyamuni." Taoist Cihang said meaningfully: "Sakyamuni is a human being, and Sakyamuni Buddha is a god, a high-altitude statue."
"A statue that anyone can live in."
"Just like a jade seal, anyone can use it to seal it." Shen Gongbao said thoughtfully: "The Second Saint can use it to seal it... so can we."
"That's pretty much what it means."
Taoist Cihang smiled and said, "With Sakyamuni Buddha's consent, we can slightly change the teachings."
"For example..." Shen Gongbao looked at the Dragon Girl Buddha in the orb world and said without thinking: "A woman becomes a Buddha?"
"It is not a woman who becomes a Buddha."
Taoist Cihang shook his head and said, "She became a Buddha in female form."
"What's the difference?" Shen Gongbao asked in confusion.
Taoist Cihang answered: "When a woman becomes a Buddha, she becomes a Buddha body, not a male body. The so-called male body is close to the Buddha body, but not the Buddha body."
Shen Gongbao understood, just like the demon clan transformed into a human being, it seemed that it transformed into a human being, but in fact it transformed into an innate Taoist body.
The human race is known as the innate Tao body, but most of it is the acquired Tao body. After becoming an immortal, the body does not seem to change, and it is still the human race, but it is actually transformed into the innate Tao body.
"Then...senior sister, what are you looking like now?"
Shen Gongbao looked at Taoist Cihang and couldn't help but feel confused. The Buddha's appearance was in a female body, a female body, a female body, or a female body in a male body.
"There is no sign of self, no sign of no one, no sign of living beings, and no sign of life-span." Taoist Cihang replied with a smile.
