In fact, heaven does not have that many rules. Even when meeting the Jade Emperor in the Lingxiao Palace, the gods and immortals almost do not need to kneel down as long as they do not violate the rules of heaven.
Nowadays, those who come to participate in the opening ceremony are all decent people, especially for Zhenyuan Immortal and Lishan Laomu. It is just a congratulatory decree from the Jade Emperor, and a gift of attention is already very high. Specifications.
Not to mention Sanzang, he didn't even kneel down when he saw the Buddha at Lingshan, let alone a congratulatory decree from the Jade Emperor?
Taibai Jinxing naturally knew the importance. Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, he immediately unfolded the imperial edict and said -
"Qinfeng
The Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Lord, the Xuanling High God. The edict said:
I live in Lingxiao and have the world in my heart. I heard that in Nanfangbuzhou in the world, there is a Holy Buddha Tripitaka who founded a sect named Weishi."
In the middle are some words of praise from the Jade Emperor to Master Tripitaka, highly praising and affirming Master Tripitaka’s meritorious deeds in killing demons and demons and transforming sentient beings in the world. Then he commended Tripitaka and his disciples for their achievements on the journey to the West, and finally got to the point.
"The Tripitaka of the Holy Buddha has extensive Buddhist teachings, is universally successful, and helps all living beings; the knowledge-only teachings are subtle and mystical, the causes of Buddhism are clear, and the truth is knowledge-based. It can become a great sect."
It can become a big deal!
These four words are the real "pictures are poor and daggers are seen". Guanyin Bodhisattva finally understood why Taibai Jinxing did not seem so stable before he came to power. With such a congratulatory message in his hand, even a person who is known for his stability Taibai Jinxing could not calm down the turmoil in his heart.
In fact, Zhenjun Xi Erlang and the others knew the general content of the Jade Emperor's edict. After all, this matter was discussed at the court meeting at Lingxiao Palace.
Because I was mentally prepared, it was not a surprise at this moment, but for those who were unaware, it was undoubtedly something that left them stunned.
At first, everyone felt that the Tathagata Mahavairocana's move to rectify Master Tripitaka's name was a bit abrupt, but as soon as the Jade Emperor's congratulatory message came out, everyone felt that the Tathagata Mahavairocana was really foresighted.
It was precisely because of the pavement of the Tathagata that allowed Master Tripitaka to "self-realize the Tathagata". Now that the word "big sect" falls on the head of the Consciousness-only Sect, it becomes more and more natural.
Taibaijinxing paused for a moment, giving everyone time to relax. Seeing that everyone's expressions had basically returned to normal, Taibaijinxing continued: "There are three major sects of Buddhism, and consciousness alone can also stand side by side. I issue an edict, follow The righteous principles of heaven and the teaching of consciousness-only are promoted. The gate of the mountain receives a plaque given by heaven, and consciousness-only is also a major sect of Buddhism.
——I admire this! "
After saying that.
Taibai Jinxing threw this congratulatory decree directly into the sky without giving Master Sanzang a chance to express his position. It seemed that he was afraid that Master Sanzang would become stubborn and would not be granted the decree of heaven.
Regarding Taibai Jinxing's actions, everyone could fully understand that Master Sanzang's temper was famous in the three realms. If he really didn't accept it at this moment, he might not even be able to step down from heaven.
However, when everyone looked at Master Sanzang, they saw that Master Sanzang had no intention of resisting this. Instead, he clasped his hands and accepted it calmly. And he also performed a Buddhist salute with his hands clasped together towards the imperial edict shining with the power of heaven in mid-air.
Seeing that Master Sanzang showed no signs of conflict, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, even the two great masters Zhenyuan Immortal and Lishan Mother were no exception.
The power of heaven fell from the sky and condensed directly into a plaque with the four characters "Da Ci'en Temple" written on it. Then a dragon turtle came carrying the monument. On the front of the monument were the four characters "Consciousness Only Dharma Teaching". , and the teachings of the Consciousness-only Sect are written on the back.
"Is this Ba Xia?"
Someone recognized the origin of this dragon turtle and immediately exclaimed.
Although Ba Xia likes to carry stele, he does not carry any stele like this one. It is the power of heaven that was transformed by the consciousness-only teaching, which is naturally unusual.
The moment the dragon turtle landed on the ground, everyone felt a mysterious and mysterious Taoist charm, and they continued to gather towards the Great Ci'en Temple——
Immortals who can open their Dharma Eyes can naturally more intuitively see the golden luck belonging to Buddhism, which is rushing towards the Great Ci'en Temple with the blessing of the power of heaven.
As the leader of the Esoteric Cult, the Great Sun Tathagata is the most intuitive at this moment.
The fortune of his Tantric Cult, which was not rich in the first place, has now been taken away by Master Tripitaka. If Master Tripitaka had not been a guest of the Tantric Cult and could feed some of his luck back, I am afraid that the Tantric Cult would have to spend a lot of money to restore its vitality. A lot of effort.
I really didn’t expect that the Great Sun Tathagata would have such a mastery of the Jade Emperor. He directly communicated with the way of heaven as the Supreme Being of the Three Realms, promoted the Consciousness-Wei Sect to the rank of Buddhist sect, and directly separated from Mahayana Buddhism.
It can be said that even Tathagata Buddha cannot do such a thing.
And the secret teaching that he was able to establish back then was actually thanks to Upaladha Buddha. Otherwise, how could he have established the secret teaching of Buddhism by himself alone, standing in harmony with Hinayana and Mahayana?
But even so, among the three major teachings of Buddhism, Esoteric Buddhism has the most limited development prospects. This is not unrelated to the fact that the Tathagata has closed himself off for thousands of years.
In Lingshan.
Tathagata Buddha and Jieyin Buddha sit face to face.
The Buddhist fortunes of both of them were damaged to varying degrees, and the Buddhist fortunes that were stripped away were undoubtedly transferred to the Consciousness-only Dharma of Daci'en Temple in Chang'an.
"Consciousness-only sect?" The leading Buddha clasped his hands together, looked at each other with Tathagata Buddha, then shook his head and said: "Consciousness-only sect."
Tathagata Buddha thought for a moment and then imitated the Buddha's tone: "Tang Sanzang?"
Then he clasped his hands together, shook his head as well, and said: "Holy Tripitaka Buddha."
The two Buddhas looked at each other and smiled. It was just that the Tathagata Buddha smiled in a free and easy way; but when he greeted the Buddha, there was inevitably a bit of bitterness between his eyebrows. Oh, this Buddha originally had a look of suffering on his face, but this smile made it appear More bitter.
It can be said that the Jade Emperor's backstab was not what they expected.
But for Tathagata Buddha, he did not take this matter to heart. After all, Buddhism gave birth to a holy Buddha like Tripitaka. After being a Buddha for more than a thousand years, he could finally shed his "burden" with peace of mind. Prepare to be reincarnated and go through tribulations.
But if this matter is placed on the reception of the Buddha, it will still make him feel confused to some extent. If the Tathagata Buddha is like a dove occupying a magpie's nest, the Jade Emperor's move of pushing the boat along with the current is undoubtedly a drain on the bottom of the pot.
However, all the firewood that had been taken away was added to Master Sanzang's stove, and the fire became even more intense.
Amitabha.
Tathagata Buddha himself recited it in his heart, and even began to take the initiative to send Buddhism's destiny to the Consciousness Only Sect.
Tripitaka!
The future of Buddhism is left to you!
After all, the poor monk is not a pure monk. Who else could the Buddhist sect be?
When he noticed Tathagata Buddha's behavior, Jieying Buddha couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Why is this so?"
"Don't the Buddha think that monks like Tripitaka are worthy of the title of 'Tathagata'?" Tathagata Buddha looked at the leading Buddha and said: "What meaning does it mean for you and me to sit on Lingling Mountain in front of the sentient beings in the three realms? ? It’s nothing more than two clay statues. Buddha rarely even appears in the human world, right?"
Jieying Buddha kept silent. Naturally, he rarely appeared in the human world, and there were even few golden statues enshrining him in the human world. The reason for this was because he wanted to watch the "Tathagata Buddha" in Lingshan and not act randomly.
But what's the use of just guarding Tathagata Buddha?
After all, the incarnation is the incarnation, not the original body.
Otherwise, why would Lingshan and Buddhism become what they are today?
There is nothing you can do, even if you are trying to attract the Buddha, there is nothing you can do.
The great transformation of Buddhism begins today.
Master Tripitaka established the Consciousness Only Sect under the Mahayana teachings.
But the way of heaven was not right and directly raised the consciousness-only sect to a higher level, promoted it to the consciousness-only sect, and became one of the major sects of Buddhism. Such "fantasy" things happened in front of everyone's eyes, and it was indeed amazing.
The most frightening thing is that when everyone calmed down, they even felt that there was nothing wrong with this matter, but that it was a matter of course.
It is indeed Master Tripitaka who has convinced all sentient beings in the three realms.
Taibai Jinxing, who had accomplished this great thing, bowed to Master Tripitaka and said, "Congratulations to the Holy Buddha and congratulations to the leader."
Everyone was still thinking about it, but Li Shimin was the first to react and gave the prince Li Zhi a look. Li Zhi immediately stood up and said: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the holy Buddha, and congratulations to the leader!"
The prince has spoken, and the royal family, nobles, ministers and common people naturally all echoed -
"Congratulations to the emperor, uncle, congratulations to the holy Buddha, and congratulations to the leader!"
Otherwise, what if Li Zhi could become the prince?
Just adding four more words to the front, the taste immediately changed, especially when the people of the Tang Dynasty cheered in unison, the people's hearts naturally became more excited.
Holy Buddha of the Three Realms?
The leader of consciousness only?
No, in the final analysis Master Tripitaka is still the emperor’s younger brother and the emperor’s uncle of the Tang Dynasty!
The emperor's life may be over, but the emperor's uncle will be the most solid backing of the Tang Dynasty.
After the voices of admiration and congratulations from all the people fell, Taibai Jinxing's mission finally came to an end.
I only have to wait a few days to go to Guanjiangkou to attend Young Master Yang's first birthday banquet, and then go to heaven to reply to the Jade Emperor's decree, and then I can reincarnate in the lower world.
Originally, Taibai Jinxing wanted to be reincarnated in Dongzhou, but now that he has seen the scene of the Tang Dynasty, he decided to use his personal connections to choose his birthplace when he was reincarnated.
In fact, Ether Platinum Star still has this privilege due to its merits and hard work in heaven, as well as the merit accumulated from recruiting demons and monsters over the years.
When Taibai Jinxing passed by the Great Sun Tathagata, he saw that he seemed a little depressed. He wanted to say something. But thinking that such a situation occurred entirely because of the congratulatory decree in his hand, he just tapped it lightly. Head, he hurriedly gave in.
Speaking of which, Taibaijinxing has to thank the Tathagata Mahavira. If not for the Tathagata Mahavatara who invited Master Tripitaka to "self-realize the Tathagata", this "consciousness-only teaching" would not be as logical as it seems now.
There was no communication between the two of them in advance. The scene they saw today was all based on a tacit understanding.
It can be seen that it is also destiny.
Otherwise, how could Master Tripitaka, who has always been a maverick, accept these two things so easily?
But maybe from another perspective, everyone thought there would be twists and turns with Master Tripitaka, but instead it went very smoothly. Is this also another kind of "rebellion"?
"Ha ha ha ha--"
Immortal Zhenyuan stood up and laughed, as hearty and bold as ever, "I am very happy today, and I have a small gift for you, so I hope Sanzang will accept it."
As the Great Immortal of Zhenyuan, he would naturally not introduce himself when he appeared on the stage. There were very few immortals and arhats present who did not recognize him.
The mortals in Chang'an City will naturally have well-informed people who will "popularize science" with them.
Now that everyone knows the identity of Immortal Zhenyuan, everyone can't help but guess, "Is it ginseng fruit?"
"That's for sure!"
"Ginseng fruit is Zhenyuan Immortal's signature spiritual fruit, also known as grass returning pill. It blooms once every three thousand years, bears fruit once every three thousand years, and takes another three thousand years to mature."
"This fruit can only be eaten once in ten thousand years, and only produces thirty fruits each time. It is more precious than the Queen Mother's flat peaches."
"No! I heard that if you smell the fruit, you can live 360 years; if you eat one, you can live 47,000 years."
The voices were mixed, but they seemed to be talking about the same thing. Everyone basically thought that the gift given by Immortal Zhenyuan must be ginseng fruit.
But Master Sanzang knew very well that all the ginseng fruits that have been mature for ten thousand years have been eaten. The reason is precisely because when the master and apprentice traveled between Lingshan and Datang, they visited Wuzhuang Temple twice. Zhenyuan The Great Immortal hosted the "Salvia Ginseng Party" both times, but the five masters and disciples ate ten ginseng fruits both times.
That's one-third of the amount!
Who else in the Three Realms is treated like this by the Great Immortal Zhenyuan?
It’s no wonder that Master Sanzang and his disciples have a good relationship with Immortal Zhenyuan. Who wouldn’t want to be friends with such an elder who has no airs and is always concerned about his juniors?
But how can ordinary people gain the favor of Immortal Zhenyuan?
This is the excellence of their master and disciple. Even the seemingly lazy Bajie is taken care of by Zhenyuan Immortal.
When making friends with Immortal Zhenyuan, the most important thing is character, and cultivation is secondary. After all, seriously speaking, there are really not many people in the Three Realms who are above him in cultivation.
Fahai looked at the Zhenyuan Immortal in mid-air, as if he wanted to say something. However, he gave the Zhenyuan Immortal who was looking at him a "please be patient, it depends on the poor man's tricks", so Fahai had no choice but to give up.
We have also experienced two big surprises brought by the Great Sun Tathagata and Taibaijinxing, which to a certain extent have already prepared Fahai's psychology. What else can be more outrageous?
In short, Fa Hai couldn't think of it for a while.
In addition, Immortal Zhenyuan is a mature, stable and reliable senior, so he will not do anything more shocking, right?
but
When Fahai saw Immortal Zhenyuan summoning the Book of Earth with one hand, he suddenly felt that things seemed to be moving in an even more uncontrollable direction——
But not only Master Sanzang, but also those gods who were waiting to see the ginseng fruit could hardly calm down.
This is a book from the ground!
Zhenyuan Immortal’s magic weapon for enlightenment!
What kind of "thin gift" is it that actually alerts Immortal Zhenyuan to take out the "Book from the Earth"?
