Paradise, under the bodhi tree.
Amitabha and Chunti Buddha inspected the injury of Randen Buddha, while Tathagata Buddha sat aside and smiled bitterly.
"The poor monk asked Ran Deng Buddha to go to Heaven. His original intention was to stir up discord among the three Taoist sects, and to divide the hearts and minds of the soldiers in Heaven through the old grudge between Chan and Jie."
"It was calculated beforehand and there were no mistakes or omissions."
"Now, this poor monk will shoulder the blame."
Zhunti Buddha waved his hand, "I don't blame you for this. It's Taoist Tongtian who disturbed the secret of heaven. You can't figure it out. It's normal."
"Even I didn't expect it to be the Four Swords of Zhu Xian and the Rule of Death."
"This matter is closely related to the brother and sister Yamazaki Shandai. I will go and have a look later."
Amitabha shook his head, "It's our fault for this. The person who used the Immortal Sword Qi was Xu Feiniang."
"I shouldn't expel Xu Feiniang from her membership just to attract Master Changmei into Buddhism."
"She will be a Buddhist Bodhisattva in the future, but now she is afraid that she will join the Taoist religion."
"Cause and effect are involved. If she wants to enter Buddhism in the future, she will have to bear endless connections."
Zhunti Buddha reflected, "Senior brother, please don't do everything for me. I want to lead Master Changmei into Buddhism."
"This person has the world in mind, is good at planning, and is more useful than Xu Feiniang in many ways."
Amitabha suddenly frowned, "Junior brother, these words are too utilitarian, inappropriate, inappropriate."
Buddha Zhunti sighed: "I don't want to either, but it is difficult to understand the secret of heaven, so we can only use human beings to defeat heaven."
"Now that the matter has come to this, whether you want to swallow this fruit or not, there will finally be Farewell Buddha and Changmei Zhenren, and Buddhism will not suffer."
Tathagata Buddha was startled, "Deng Deng Buddha, he..."
Buddha Zhunti said with emotion: "You have to go into retreat. If you can pass it, you will be the Great Perfection. If you can't pass it, you will really be a past Buddha."
Amitabha clasped his hands together and said, "The rules of death are imposed on him. No one can save him except the one above and himself."
Tathagata Buddha frowned slightly, "The death rule of four swords in one? But even so, Ran Deng Buddha has 24 Dinghai Pearls in his hand, which can evolve into 24 heavens, why can't he avoid it?"
Amitabha sighed: "It is the light of the stars."
"Stars have existed forever, coexisting with the world. They existed in the past, exist now, and will exist in the future."
"The light of the stars will shine on the past, present, and future."
"Every time and space that exists in this world is under the light of stars."
"Unless you can escape the outer chaos in the blink of an eye, you have no choice but to fight with magic."
The Tathagata Buddha asked, "In this case, with the extraordinary power of the Deng Deng Buddha, how could he lose?"
Amitabha shook his head and said: "The four people who used sword energy fought for their lives and used the Arrancar to break through the magic power of the Randen Buddha and let the rules of death touch his body.
Zhunti Buddha sighed: "Randeng Buddha has extraordinary magical power, so he was blessed by the rules of death, so he did not die on the spot and was still alive to go into retreat."
"Of course, if senior brother hadn't fought hard to get him out because of his injuries, he would have been dead in just a snap of a finger."
Tathagata Buddha smacked his tongue, "Buddha is also injured?"
Amitabha showed his palm and said, "It doesn't matter. To me, this injury is like a mortal being pricked by a needle."
Zhunti Buddha said to Tathagata Buddha: "Okay, you come to arrange the retreat of Ran Deng Buddha. I will go find that boy Yamazaki. Unfortunately, I don't know where Shan Dai is. She should be the one who handed down the Four Swords of Zhu Xian. I don't know." How did she leave behind the four sword energies?"
"Okay." Tathagata Buddha responded with his palms clasped together.
Amitabha urged him hard: "Don't go. He is just a scholar now. It is not suitable for you to go."
"It doesn't matter."
"Then what can you say to him?"
"You have to let that kid know that I know he is there. Don't make any plans."
"The cause is on our side."
"But for things to turn out like this, it must be that kid's idea. It needs to be hammered out."
With that said, Buddha Zhunti disappeared.
"Alas." Amitabha sighed, "What's there to argue about?"
"If you don't advance, you will retreat. Buddha, this poor monk will go now."
"Place the lamp-burning Buddha well."
"That's natural."
The Tathagata Buddha stood up, put his palms together in greeting, and left with the sitting lamp-burning Buddha.
He seems to have withered at this time, but in fact he is still far from death. However, this process cannot be reversed. Whether he can survive or not depends on himself.
…
Cheung Chau, Huwei Island (Jiugong Island), Lingjin Fort.
In the pavilion in the back garden, Yamazaki was sitting alone, making tea, which was divided into two cups, to entertain guests.
Yamazaki was not surprised to see an old monk appear.
"You came a little late, and the water is a little too old, so let's make do with it."
Zhunti Buddha laughed, "Ha, this is your way of hospitality."
Yamazaki put the tea cup on the table and poured water to make tea. "You're not here to drink tea. This tea is just a regular product. It's okay if you can get it."
Zhunti Buddha picked up the tea cup and looked inside and outside, "You really don't want to talk about it."
"Practice, let nature take its course."
"Then why do you have so many plans?"
"I can't compare to you. It can be said that it's all because of you."
"how do I say this?"
Yamazaki spread his hands and said, "You bullied my wife. If I don't get back on my feet, what else will I do to my wife?"
"Xu Feiniang?"
"Yes, it's Xu Feiniang. You allowed her to ascend to Buddhism and then abandoned her, causing her to be forced to self-destruct by Chang Mei Zhenren."
Zhunti Buddha waved his hand, "Slow down, slow down, Buddhism did not abandon her, she abandoned Buddhism and left. Master Longmei did not force her, she blew herself up."
Yamazaki frowned, "Why talk secretly in front of Mingren? I have a causal relationship with Master Changmei, and Xu Feiniang is worried about being caught."
"How can you be so sure that Master Changmei will harm her?"
"If that's what you think, then please come back and we'll start fighting."
"Starting a fight?" Buddha Zhunti said amusedly, "Do you know who I am?"
"I know," Yamazaki said seriously, "The second leader of Buddhism."
Zhunti Buddha also stopped joking, "Oh, since you know it, you still dare to fight me. Whose power are you relying on?"
"The way of heaven."
Buddha Zhunti was startled and thought it was the one above. Then he thought that it was impossible, so he laughed and said: "Nonsense, you know what the way of heaven is."
"Know a little bit."
"tell me the story."
As Zhunti Buddha said, he secretly used his psychic powers to try to pry into Yamazaki's heart. He thought he could know something, but the other person's heart was empty.
Yamazaki felt it and couldn't help but shake his head, "Don't say it, kill me or cut me into pieces. It's up to you."
"Are you trying to scare me?"
"Whatever you think, I won't tell you things I don't want you to know anyway. If you want to do something to me or anyone else, just do whatever you want, just bear the consequences."
"You bear the consequences at your own risk?" Buddha Zhunti said angrily, "Do you know what the consequences are? For example, tens of millions of years of endless hell."
Yamazaki nodded, "It's good. I would like it better if it could be changed to billions of years."
"Why?"
"Because I'm still alive."
Zhunti Buddha's face became heavy, because Yamazaki's character was beyond his expectation, and Yamazaki's realm was beyond his expectation.
