Ancient times.
Among the Buddhist sect, a new quasi-sage is promoted, and he is also a direct disciple of the sage. This naturally causes the Buddhist qi movement to fluctuate, and even the saints living in chaos can feel it.
After all, when the trend reaches a breakthrough, there is no cover.
"This person who broke through to the quasi-sage turned out to be the most powerful junior brother!"
Both Yaoshi and Maitreya were a little shocked, and they also felt the Qi of the person who made the breakthrough.
That's why he showed an expression of disbelief.
You know, just a moment ago, the general was still discussing the journey to the west with everyone in Mount Sumeru. Now, in just a few moments, how come he suddenly attained the quasi-sage realm?
Could it be that he had an epiphany?
No matter what, this is a good thing for his Buddhist sect, and it also confirms the general trend of the great development of heaven in the West.
Immediately, the two of them planned to go and congratulate.
"Congratulations to the great disciple!"
"Congratulations to the great disciple!"
With the cultivation level of the two of them, it only took a moment for them to appear in front of the general situation and congratulate them in unison.
But at this moment, Kinnara has left and is nowhere to be seen again.
The words of congratulations from the two of them were ignored, but they kept thinking about what Kinnara had just said and the current situation in Buddhism.
Among the calamities, there are both disasters and opportunities.
It is an opportunity to reform the past and make new things.
Kinnara's operation could not be hidden from others, but it could not be hidden from the two incarnations of saints, Taishang Laojun and Subhuti.
When the Qi movement in the West was turbulent and the situation was about to be promoted to quasi-sage, the two of them knew about Kinnara's handiwork.
"This guy is a little impatient after all!"
Taishang Laojun just sighed, then withdrew his gaze and ignored it.
That guy Subhuti, as a good corpse of Zhunti, has a completely different personality from the deity. He will not take action against Kinnara. At most, he will only ask a few questions.
In fact, Subhuti also did this.
When Kinnara was about to leave the west, he blocked his way.
"I've seen Saint Zhunti!"
When Zhunti beheaded the good corpse, it was still the period of the Lich Tribulation. At that time, Western religion had not been established, and there was no rebellion against Xuan or Buddhism, so his image was that of a kind old man in Taoist robes.
It is completely different from the image he wears in cassock today.
Kinnara had practiced in Mount Sumeru for tens of thousands of years, so he naturally knew the incarnation of Chunti.
Therefore, he immediately bowed.
"No need to be polite, just call me Subhuti. Zhunti is Zhunti, I am me."
Subhuti has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, an immortal demeanor, and a noble temperament. Anyone who looks at him will think that he is a true practitioner of Taoism, and will not be associated with the Zhunti saint of Buddhism.
You must know that Zhunti is famous for his alms-giving method. It can be said that he is notorious. He and Subhuti are completely different.
Although no one dares to talk about the saint to his face, there are definitely many who secretly express their displeasure.
"Don't be afraid, I asked me to look after Buddhism, as long as Buddhism is not destroyed."
"You want to build a brand new Buddhism. I don't intend to stop you. I just want to see what you have in mind!"
"Once upon a time, Zhunti also thought about making all sentient beings in the West like dragons like you, so that everyone has the chance to become a Buddha. However, the poverty of the West gave him a blow, and he embarked on the road of alms."
"It was also at that time that he made up his mind to revitalize the West at all costs, and then he cut off my good corpse."
"But he doesn't like me, because the ideal is just a fantasy, and the reality is that the West is barren. No matter how many ideas he has in his heart, it will not help."
"Later, in the ancient times, there was only Zhunti who only wanted to revitalize the West and went everywhere to seek alms."
Subhuti did not attack Kinnara, but told him his origin and why he, a good corpse, was completely different from the deity.
The West is barren. As a word that Zhunti often talks about, how many people can really understand it?
Perhaps, we can only support each other after they transform into each other!
After all, even the direct disciples of Medicine Master and Maitreya were only admitted into the family after they became saints.
Times change, and the sea also has its days of mulberry fields, let alone people?
Kinnara was stunned in place. This was the first time he had heard of these things.
In his impression, no matter how the two Western Saints were outside, they never said anything to their disciples. However, this also made many people not understand the real Two Western Saints.
He couldn't help but think of something that Jie Yin often said when he was teaching in the West.
"The body is like a Bodhi tree, and the mind is like a mirror stand. Brush it frequently to avoid dust."
This Bodhi tree naturally refers to Zhunti.
As an innate being who took the form of the Gengjin Bodhi tree with the best innate spiritual roots, Zhunti has been criticized for many things even though he has become a saint. Even his disciples are fully aware of this.
At the beginning, the reason why Kinnara became a disciple of Jieyin was because he had heard about some of Zhunti's "glorious deeds".
For example, the Suffering Sage of Zixiao Palace elevated Hongjun's status as "immortal ancestor" to "Taoist ancestor".
People with great supernatural powers all value appearance, but Zhunti is the complete opposite.
Therefore, when Kinnara heard this sentence at that time, he never understood what he should learn from Uncle Chunti?
Want to learn to be shameless?
Or learn the alms method?
Now, seeing Subhuti with the immortal spirit, he seemed to understand something.
In the ancient world, ninety-nine percent of the creatures were shameless. Therefore, when the Western Sect was founded to recruit disciples, most of the disciples chose to worship under the Jie Yin Sect.
There are very few people who worship under Zhunti's door.
There is no other reason than fear of embarrassment.
Now it seems that he is obsessed with it.
The West is barren, and only by losing face can one obtain the holy status, obtain spiritual treasures, gain the favor of the Taoist ancestors, and gain a chance for great prosperity.
So people can scold Zhunti for being shameless, but Western creatures cannot.
"Amitabha!"
Kinnara couldn't help but recite the Buddha's name, which was regarded as an apology to Zhunti and a relief for Asham.
At that time, Zhunti must have been very disappointed when he saw that he, a direct disciple of Western religions, had doubts about Buddhism and Western religions because of a woman!
However, he still insisted on his point of view.
Zhunti is a saint who has given up his dignity and only has the West in his heart.
But he's not.
He could not watch an innocent creature die tragically in front of him without saving him, nor could he sacrifice one person's interests to save the interests of another.
Zhunti takes advantage of the creatures and opportunities of the East to strengthen the West.
But the East does not owe the West any cause and effect.
For his own ambitions, Luo Hu used hundreds of millions of sentient beings as material and the land of the West as a chessboard to plot against the three tribes of dragon, phoenix and unicorn, which eventually led to the fragmentation of the land line in the west and its barrenness.
The one who owes the West should be Rahu.
Zhunti is a sage from the West, not a sage from ancient times. There is nothing wrong with him doing this.
But other creatures are so innocent.
This is also the biggest difference between the concepts of Kinnara and today’s Buddhism.
He could not harm the interests of innocent people in order to strengthen the West, nor could he ignore Asha's death because he was concerned about the reputation of Western religions.
That's why he parted ways with today's Buddhism.
Subhuti left. Just as he said, he just wanted to see the path of Kinnara. He didn't ask or feel dissatisfied. He seemed to just want to see the shadow of his past.
After understanding the doubts he had always had, Kinnara felt as if a big stone had been dropped in his heart.
When the dust is gone, light is born, and the Taoist heart is extremely transparent.
"Bodhi has no tree, nor is it a clear and pure platform. There is nothing in it, so how can it cause dust."
Kinnara seemed to have some realization and couldn't help but murmur to himself.
What Jie Ying asked me to learn was also the Zhunti of the past, and it was the hope that everyone could become a Buddha.
The changes in Zhunti are the tragedy of the barrenness of the West, the karma caused by the demon ancestor Rahu, and the changes made without hope of seeing the great prosperity of the West.
He could not bear all this, but he chose to bear this responsibility.
However, this method was difficult for Kinnara to agree with.
Nowadays, in the West, all the land lines have been restored, and great prosperity is imminent. He will never follow the old path of Zhunti, nor will he let his ideals come to nothing.
The West is not the West of Buddhism, nor the West of Taoism, but the West of all living beings.
He wants to complete what he gave up at the beginning.
Tushita Heaven.
Xuan Chen looked through the void and looked at Kinnara who was in a state of enlightenment. He couldn't help but show a hint of envy. This was the first time he had seen this kind of enlightenment.
Sure enough, he is indeed a man of great luck.
"Is this the first time he has had an epiphany?"
Back then, when Kinnara was possessed by the devil, I deceived him a few words, and he had an epiphany.
Later, they met again in the human world and fooled him a few words, and he seemed to have an epiphany again.
Now, after listening to Subhuti's talk about Zhunti's past, I suddenly had another epiphany.
Treating enlightenment as easy as eating and drinking makes Xuan Chen extremely envious. He has cut off so many opportunities and is now just one step ahead of Kinnara.
No!
When he completes his enlightenment, he might be able to catch up to his own realm.
Although the system between the late Quasi-Saint and the peak Hunyuan Golden Immortal is different, the gap is only a small level.
"boom!"
Just when Xuan Chen was stunned, there was a loud noise in the heaven. He used his magical power to look, but found that Yuan Hong was dissatisfied with Bi Mawen's position and went to heaven again.
Daluo Jinxian's strength is considered to be quite good in Heaven.
But this is just the result of letting go of water.
None of those who really had the strength to take down Yuan Hong made a move. They all stood aside and ignored him. It was obvious that they had already received instructions from the Jade Emperor.
"This Bairen is indeed the reincarnation of Hongyun, and his reputation as a good old man is worthy of his name!"
"Under the premise that the two sages of the West owe him karma, they are willing to sacrifice the face of heaven to cooperate with Buddhism in this drama. It really makes people wonder how to evaluate it."
“How to repay kindness with evil!”
Xuan Chen silently complained that it was impossible for him to repay evil with kindness like Hongyun.
When the Lich was measuring the calamity, Hongyun was besieged by the demon clan. He didn't believe that Zhunti was a saint, so he didn't notice it. I'm afraid he just didn't take action because he didn't want to repay the karma.
As a result, Daozu actually rescued his true spirit.
It is estimated that when he learned that Hong Yun was not dead, Jie Yin Zhunti's face must have been ugly.
I originally owed enough debt, but ended up adding another debt.
Or something as immeasurable as the holy throne.
"By the way, uncle, in this journey to the west, besides Jin Chanzi and Yuan Hong, there are three other places. Didn't they fall into the hands of my Xuanmen? I wonder who the candidates are?"
Looking at the immortal Taishang Laojun across from him, Xuanchen asked his question.
Jin Chanzi, as the core of the Buddhist team, has not changed, but Sun Wukong has become Yuan Hong because of himself, and I don't know if there will be any changes.
After all, he didn't see the shadow of the canopy or roller blinds in the heaven.
That's why he has this problem.
