Shen Qing'an, the twelfth generation eldest daughter-in-law of the Lu family, established "Qingyan Villa" in a corner of Nanzhan Buzhou on the outskirts of the Western Paradise.
Speaking of the Paradise, we have to mention Mount Xumi.
Sumeru Mountain is a huge golden mountain. The mountain goes 80,000 yojanas deep underground and 80,000 yojanas above the ground. Its peak is the Emperor Shakti, surrounded by the four heavenly kings on the mountainside. The gaps between the mountains are Asura City. Surrounded by Qixiang Sea and Qijin Mountain. Outside the Seventh Golden Mountain are four major continents, including the Aral Sea and Nanfangbu Continent. In the beginning, the main gods such as Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva and Indra lived on Mount Sumeru. In addition, there were Gandharvas, rishis and other characters.
Later, Taoist Taoists took over the Sumeru Mountain, expelled Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva and other gods, refined the mountain, took it into their pockets, created the Western Paradise, and became the leader of Mahayana Buddhism, "Amitabha". He is the "guide" of Sakyamuni Tathagata.
Due to different beliefs, Taoist Zhunti did not establish Buddhism with Taoist Jieyin, but continued to teach in the West.
The Taoist priest Jieyin introduced Sakyamuni. After a few years, he practiced in seclusion and gradually withdrew from Buddhist affairs. After Sakyamuni attained enlightenment in eight aspects and cultivated six feet of gold, he used the power of Buddhist faith to become the "Tathagata Buddha" and took the opportunity to annex Western religions.
Zhunti avoided disputes, retired alone, and practiced in seclusion.
Tathagata Buddha has not let go of Zhunti and has been searching for his whereabouts for many years.
Zhunti was born in the period of chaos. He once listened to the preaching of Taoist Hongjun. He had extremely high skills and had his own way to protect himself. Because he was used to practicing in the West, he chose to live in seclusion on the spot and named the mountain where he lived in seclusion "Lingtai Fangcun Mountain". ” and claimed to be the Bodhi Taoist, also known as the Bodhi Patriarch in “Journey to the West”.
After Patriarch Hongjun launched the "Shenting Tribulation", Buddhism did not stay aloof.
Because Jie Yin and Zhunti were both disciples of Hongjun, Tathagata Buddha also failed to escape from the law. When he entered nirvana under the bodhi tree, he followed the path of ancestor Hongjun, and a trace of his soul was included in the jade plate of creation. So he is also restricted by Hongjun.
In response to the call of Patriarch Hongjun, Buddhism sent half of the three thousand Buddhas to the Jiu Niao State in the east to garrison the Kunlun Mountain.
There are also 1,500 Buddhas left in the West, as well as numerous Bodhisattvas and Arhats. The relationship between these Buddhas and Bodhisattvas is not one of sympathy and harmony, but of competition, exclusion, overt and covert strife, mutual strife, and even ambushes and assassinations.
Shen Qing'an cultivated both immortality and Buddhism. After becoming an immortal king, he also became a "little Buddha" and was qualified to participate in Buddhist Dharma assemblies. He could also go to Lingshan Mountain to listen to the Tathagata's teachings.
Buddhas also have high and low levels of power. There is a difference between a big Buddha and a small Buddha. Such as Sakyamuni Buddha, Mahavaisana Tathagata, Ruchana Buddha, Amitabha Buddha, Medicine Master Tathagata, Precious Birth Tathagata, Amitabha Tathagata, Kaishihua King Tathagata, Sky Drum and Thunder Sound Tathagata, Precious Pillar Tathagata, One-Sylled Golden Wheel Buddha The top, the Buddha-eye Buddha, the Many Treasures Tathagata, the Dingguang Tathagata, etc. all belong to the great Buddha. The three thousand Buddhas belong to the category of small Buddhas.
In the summer of 2053 in the Shenting calendar, Shen Qing'an was attacked by two unknown little Buddhas on her way to Lingshan. She used her power to repel them and collected a little Buddha into a purple gold alms bowl.
Later, she sent the Zijin Bowl to the Excalibur Villa through the teleportation array.
The small Buddha was transferred into the Shennong Cauldron, and after seven days and seven nights of refining, the basic runes representing the soul were extracted, allowing Lu Qingcheng to take a big step forward in studying the life soul.
It turns out that the so-called "Buddhist cultivation" is to refine the seven souls into nothingness on the basis of the three souls, and derive the two talismans of "blessing and wisdom". Because the seven souls have been refined, the Buddha is freed from the shackles of the seven emotions and has no emotions of joy, anger, worry, sorrow, and fear.
What is Buddha? The Buddha is the two-legged statue of blessing and wisdom, the enlightened being who transcends the cycle of life and death.
What is Fuhui? Fu refers to blessings, related to faith and incense; wisdom refers to wisdom. According to Buddhism, this kind of wisdom can "insight into all truths and understand all things."
But in Lu Qingcheng's view, the so-called "insight into all truths and understand all things" is pure nonsense. Because the universe has no limits, mankind's understanding of the universe is only a drop in the ocean, and scientists' exploration of the truth will never end.
Even so, the two talismans of "Fu and Wisdom" cracked by Lu Qingcheng opened up a new path for the Lu family's cultivation.
Even Lu Cheng, Jiang Qiuyun, and Guan Sangyue carved the two talismans of "Fu Hui" on the Xianji jade plate, hoping to make their own practice easier.
Now, there are eight caves in Lu Cheng's body. He can use these caves to carry out life science experiments, consciously carve immortal jade plates, apply different laws of heaven, turn the world in the palm of his hand into a Buddhist kingdom, and turn the world under his feet into a Buddhist kingdom. In the underworld, the Niwan Palace between the chest, abdomen and eyebrows is transformed into a fairyland, and the two parietal small worlds are transformed into a kingdom of witchcraft and magic.
In this way, he practiced witchcraft, immortality, Buddhism, and ghost all at once, advancing in many aspects at the same time, making his own cultivation more complicated.
Each cave has different laws, allowing him to be exposed to a wider range of laws of heaven and gain a deeper understanding of runes and heaven.
In the year 2060 of the Shenting Calendar, Lu Cheng's eldest grandson Lu Lingchen made a major breakthrough in his research on fairy beans and fairy gourds.
Lu Lingchen is a botanist. He has been doing research on fairy trees, fairy grass, fairy gourds, fairy beans and fairy valleys for many years. After years of research, he extracted basic runes from fairy plants.
He found that plants have two souls and three souls, which is simpler than animals' two souls and five souls. But plants, like animals, can be upgraded through practice. After thousands of years of wind and rain, they have survived lightning strikes and fire disasters, and they have gradually evolved from a weak and mortal realm into "spiritual plants" and "immortal plants" ".
The Lu family obtained high-level seeds of fairy trees, fairy grass, fairy gourds and fairy beans from the fairy world. Those seeds have legendary and extraordinary experiences and were carefully cultivated by the fairy king and emperor.
Lu Lingchen planted the seeds of fairy gourds and fairy beans on Yuxu Peak, and used modern technology to hybridize and screen, select the best from the best, and strive for excellence. The fairy gourds and fairy beans absorbed sufficient fairy spiritual energy, and even absorbed a little Xuanhuang spiritual energy and Hongmeng. After two or three thousand years of cultivation, Qi gradually rose from the third and fourth levels of the Immortal Order to the ninth level of the Immortal Order.
Immortal beans of the ninth level of the Immortal Rank can be controlled by the Immortal King and the Immortal Emperor to spread the beans into soldiers and evolve into heavenly soldiers and generals of the Golden Immortal level. As a result, the Lu family became even more powerful.
Unfortunately, the higher the grade of fairy beans, the slower they grow. It often takes hundreds of years to bear fruit, and hundreds more to get mature fairy beans.
Similarly, the ninth-grade immortal gourd is extremely valuable, making the gourd magical weapons such as the immortal-killing gourd and the water-fire gourd developed by the Lu family more powerful. However, the ninth-grade immortal gourd cannot be obtained casually, and it takes a long time. to grow and multiply.
