"Tathagata, are you really okay?" Chen Luo looked at the smiling Ksitigarbha in front of him and confirmed again.
Ksitigarbha suddenly stopped talking, which was a bit out of his habit.
Ksitigarbha Tathagata nodded slightly, as if he had seen through what Chen Luo was thinking, and said with a smile: "What you see in front of you is my true heart. My true heart is clear, and naturally I have no worries."
"Externalizing many calamities and dealing with them in extreme ways, thank you for being so tolerant of me."
Chen Luo hurriedly returned the greeting and said: "There is no need for you to be so polite. You have endured countless sufferings with your own strength, which is an act of great kindness and compassion. Without you and the Bodhisattvas in the Central Pure Land, the Netherworld would have been disturbed by the devil's will long ago, and there would be no way to wait. Linhuang entered the Netherworld and competed with White Lotus Evil Buddha for the opportunity of the Netherworld's way of heaven.
"Besides, you...that Tathagata may be a little sad and arrogant, but he is still a good person."
Speaking of this, Chen Luo thought about something again and asked: "Now that your heart has been awakened by this junior, what about the Dharmakaya..."
"The evil law came so suddenly. I had no time to prepare, so I had no choice but to surrender and let it invade." Honshin Jizo nodded and explained, "One level of nirvana and one level of pass. My heart has passed through nirvana, and the law body has naturally awakened."
"Right now, the Dharmakaya is dispelling evil spells. Look..." Benxin Jizo raised his hand and pointed into the distance. Chen Luo looked in the direction of the other person's finger and saw that on the horizon, a faint golden light lit up and gradually spread across the horizon. In this red world.
It's like the sun is rising and its light is spreading to the sky and the earth.
The sight of the Sea of Souls cannot be faked. Feeling the compassion in that brilliance, Chen Luo was completely relieved.
So, your mission is completed?
Then I leave?
Seeing Ksitigarbha Tathagata looking at him with a smile on his face, Chen Luo clasped his hands together and saluted again: "Now that the senior is awake, the junior has fulfilled his instructions."
"Right now, the seniors still need to use their thoughts to clean up the evil spells. The juniors don't dare to disturb us anymore, so they will leave now."
"If there are any errands later, seniors can ask someone to inform Dafeng. Although juniors are weak, they hope to use the strength of dogs and horses."
Honshin Jizo shook his head slightly: "Don't leave in a hurry, can you chat with me for a while?"
Chen Luo was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "What does Tathagata want to talk about?"
Ksitigarbha motioned Chen Luo to sit down again and said: "Although the Dharmakaya is far away in the sea of blood, it is connected with the Sambhogakaya. I know that you have opened a new Buddhist sect in the human world. Can you tell me about it?"
Chen Luo suddenly realized that he performed Mahayana Buddhism and opened a branch of Zen Buddhism. If you say that Buddhism is not curious, it must be false. However, since ancient times, the Dharma cannot be taught lightly, and it is not easy for the Pure Land to come to him to ask for Dharma. That is to say, a group of people rely on their familiarity. , I heard a few passages of scripture from myself.
This is also the reason why Chen Luo, the Buddhist disciple, is now only called privately and is not officially enshrined in the Whispering Pure Land.
But if you really want to communicate deep teachings, you still need someone to talk about it, not even a great Bodhisattva. After all, only Tathagata can decide what price to pay.
It’s just that crappy Ksitigarbha from before…
well……
It’s hard to describe in one word.
Nowadays, it is rare for Honshin Jizo to see himself, so he will naturally not miss this opportunity.
Of course Chen Luo didn't care. After all, professional matters should be left to professionals. Anyway, the road is his own.
"If you don't lead a team, you will only tire yourself to death"
Chen Luo thought about it for a while, and started with a classic poem by Monk Shenxiu and the Sixth Patriarch Huineng, slowly describing his understanding of Zen Buddhism.
Among them, there are naturally many Zen classics such as the Diamond Sutra, the Surangama Sutra, the Sixth Patriarch's Altar Sutra, and the Enlightenment Sutra.
Ksitigarbha occasionally said a few words, but most of the time he listened quietly. The six Rakshasa women were serving around the two of them, and they were mesmerized as they listened to Chen Luo's sermon.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Luo finally finished speaking. He took a long breath, clasped his hands together, and said to Tathagata: "Just kidding."
Ksitigarbha Tathagata had a serious face at this time. He shook his head slightly and said, "Buddha opened the door to Buddhism with three important principles."
"One: suffering, cessation, cessation, and the Tao, which are called the Four Noble Truths."
"Second: All actions are impermanent, and all dharmas have no self."
"Third: take refuge in the Buddha, take refuge in the Dharma, and take refuge in the Sangha. This is called taking refuge in the Three Jewels."
"In your Zen sect, these three important sects are all listed. They should be regarded as authentic Buddhist teachings, but they are also unique."
"Whether it is gradual enlightenment through gradual practice, exhaustion of mental clarity, and the state of selfless enlightenment; or sudden enlightenment when one hears the words and suddenly sees the true nature, it is the true Dharma of Buddhism."
Speaking of this, Ksitigarbha Tathagata suddenly turned his head, looked at one of the Rakshasa women, and said, "You have seen his Buddhist path..."
The Rakshasa girl quickly clasped her hands and said, "Hui Tathagata, this disciple is indeed lucky enough to meet him, but..."
The Rakshasa girl seemed to feel that she could not express her shock in words, so she simply touched the center of her eyebrows, and a ray of light shot out and fell into the center of Ksitigarbha's eyebrows.
Ksitigarbha felt it for a moment, then turned to Chen Luo again and sighed: "You took the trouble to come to save me, and evolved a new sect for my Buddhism. You washed my name as a Buddha in the world, and you have been kind to Buddhism."
"It's a pity that the Buddhist avenue has been taken away by the demonic intention of the blood sea. We have grown up in the netherworld again, so I can't give you a decent thank you gift."
When Chen Luo heard this, he quickly waved his hands and said, "The Tathagata's words are serious."
"Rescuing the seniors is a major event for the common people in the world and the reincarnation of the underworld; reopening the Zen sect is what I need for my practice; the juniors dare not take credit, let alone ask for any thanks..."
Ksitigarbha shook his head slightly, raised his palm, and there was a Buddhist seal with the word "卍" in the palm of his hand that rotated slightly, releasing strands of golden light, as if it was about to condense, but Ksitigarbha still looked at Chen Luo and said -
"The poor monk saw from the Rakshasa girl's mind that the golden avenue of thousands of miles was still a shadow!"
"Do you want him to solidify?"
Chen Luo was stunned when he heard this, and it solidified?
Isn’t that a perfect ten thousand-mile road to heaven?
The question is, is it possible?
There had been a discussion within the bamboo forest about this thousand-mile illusory road before. In the end, the seven senior brothers, who had always been steady, made a steady speech after listening to the opinions of all parties.
To sum up, there are three possibilities.
First of all, Zen Buddhism originated from Shaolin, so if the shadow of thousands of miles wants to condense into reality, it may have to wait until the road of mortals reaches the sky.
Secondly, Chen Luo is not a real Buddhist disciple, and may need a real Buddhist disciple to take charge of it in order to condense the essence.
Finally, this avenue may compete with the Buddhist avenue of Buddhism in the Western Regions and cannot coexist!
So, overall, this is difficult!
After hearing what Chen Luo said, Ksitigarbha showed a look of approval on his face, and finally sighed: "All the people in the Confucian sect are indeed talented."
"All three of these are correct."
"It's just that I've been away from the human world for too long, and perhaps few people remember my Buddhist roots. That's the key to making this phantom avenue condense into substance."
Chen Luo looked puzzled: "What is it?"
When Ksitigarbha heard Chen Luo's message, he smiled: "It's the power of wish!"
"Willing power?"
"Yes." Ksitigarbha nodded, "Listen to the wishes of sentient beings, eliminate their attachments, break their blindness, and resolve their confusions. The merit that arises from this is the power of wishes."
"I, the Buddhist sect, have a path called making vows to practice. How big a vow you can make depends on how much power you have accumulated. After making a vow, you have to practice it. Only when the vow is completed can your practice go further."
"Ignore the White Lotus Pseudo-Buddha. No matter what way of practice you follow, as a Buddhist disciple, you will have to return to the path of aspiration when you are finally promoted from a great Bodhisattva to a Buddha."
Listening to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's eloquent words, Chen Luo suddenly realized.
To be honest, Chen Luo had always had a misunderstanding about Buddhist vows before. Isn't this thing just like a loan?
Make a wish to transform the world, and then Heaven will give you the corresponding merits and let you do it.
No, the loan at least requires collateral. This is done with one mouth.
To put it bluntly, this thing is simply a scam!
The first person to paint cakes for Heaven!
But is Master Tiandao stupid?
From the process of his martial arts training, we know that he is very smart in the way of heaven.
Therefore, Chen Luo always thought that the practice of making vows was just lip service to fool ordinary people. In fact, it had to be practiced honestly.
But today, after listening to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's serious explanation, Chen Luo finally understood.
The size of the wish depends on the strength of the wish. The strength of the vow depends on how much merit has been accumulated. And this merit comes from listening to the petitions of believers and helping them fulfill their wishes.
This set of logic is closed!
"So, I need the power of will to condense this Buddhist avenue into reality?" Chen Luo asked.
Ksitigarbha nodded: "This is the basis. Only with the power of will as the foundation can we materialize that avenue."
"Of course, what your senior brother said is right."
"Martial arts cannot reach thousands of miles. Your Buddhist path is only nine thousand miles at most, which is on par with martial arts."
"You are not a disciple of Buddhism, so you cannot transform the merits of all sentient beings' wishes into the power of wishes."
"Finally, within one avenue, the way of heaven can allow conflicting ideas to exist, but two conflicting avenues are a relationship of one and the other!"
Chen Luo frowned slightly as he listened to Ksitigarbha Tathagata's explanation.
I always feel that there is meaning in your words.
At this point, Ksitigarbha Tathagata also noticed the vigilance in Chen Luo's eyes, so he saw it and said straight to the point: "King Fengdu, are you interested in becoming a Tathagata?"
Chen Luo: (ー`′ー)
I knew it! I knew it!
You talked a lot, and it seemed like you were talking about a good thing, but you were inserting personal information into it.
Article 2: Non-Buddhist disciples cannot transform merit into vows!
Good guy, I'm here to save you, but you still have ideas about me?
Just let it be a shadow, it doesn't matter, my major is martial arts anyway.
"Tathagata, wait until I find a suitable successor, and then let him inherit this illusory avenue of mine..." Chen Luo smiled and hesitated, and then he was about to stand up. Unexpectedly, Ksitigarbha suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed his wrist. .
"King Fengdu, don't be anxious, listen to what the poor monk has to say."
Chen Luo had no choice but to sit down again. At this time, Ksitigarbha Tathagata stretched out the hand with the "卍" Buddhist seal suspended in front of Chen Luo. On top of the "卍" Buddhist seal, wisps of golden light condensed into a golden light spot.
"The poor monk knows that Wang Jia is the master of martial arts, and martial arts involves all living beings in the world. How dare he persuade Wang Jia to abandon martial arts and enter Buddhism!"
"It's just... is Wang Jia interested in practicing the Three Body Technique?"
Chen Luo was startled, three body techniques?
The three body laws of dharma body, response body and sambhogakaya?
Chen Luo looked at Ksitigarbha, who looked at Chen Luo with a kind smile, like an elder who was earnest and good at tempting.
"The three-kaya method is the top secret method of Buddhism." Ksitigarbha explained softly, "Unlike the external incarnation, all three bodies can be practiced to become a Buddha."
"If we have to compare, the three-body magical power practiced by the Buddha back then can only be compared to the one-qi-transformation-three-purity power of the Taoist ancestor."
"How about it?"
With that said, Ksitigarbha Tathagata waved the golden light spot in his hand in front of Chen Luo again, and continued: "After practicing, Wang Jia only needs to refine his body and take charge of the Buddhist avenue. I am still the master of martial arts. , will not be affected in any way.”
Chen Luo frowned slightly as he looked at the method that contained the "Three Body Techniques" in front of him.
Ksitigarbha's credibility is still trustworthy. If he said there would be no impact, then it definitely wouldn't have any impact.
But, do you want to take this magical power?
Seeing Chen Luo's hesitation, Ksitigarbha Tathagata sighed deeply again.
"I have been laying out my plans in the Blood Sea for thousands of years, but I didn't expect that the White Lotus Pure Land will now have many branches."
"If there is a great road in the world that can divert their power of heaven, the pressure on the poor monk to refine the sea of blood will be much less..."
Gan!
Okay, okay, I agree.
Isn't the left and right a clone?
After Chen Luo calculated it, he could only say that it was just right. He seemed to have the most suitable body for him!
"The Biography of Jigong"!
Arhat subduing the dragon sits on the avenue of Zen Buddhism. This makes sense, right?
"I am willing to accept the Dharma!" Chen Luo stood up and saluted Ksitigarbha with his hands together.
Ksitigarbha smiled slightly, and quickly penetrated the "Three Body Technique" into Chen Luo's soul with lightning speed, as if he was afraid that Chen Luo would regret it if he was one step too late.
In an instant, pieces of cultivation information appeared in Chen Luo's mind. Chen Luo realized it for half an hour before he came back to his senses.
Ksitigarbha is right. This three-body method mainly talks about how to condense the three bodies and how to refine them. Apart from adding another connection between the mind and the body, it really has no impact on the deity.
"Thank you Tathagata for giving me the Dharma!" Chen Luo saluted again.
At this time, Ksitigarbha was obviously in a much happier mood and waved his hand: "You're welcome!"
"But there is something I need to trouble you with again."
Chen Luo nodded naturally and said, "Tathagata, please tell me."
"That's right." Ksitigarbha said calmly, "Although your Zen sect is the authentic sect of my Buddhism, it is still somewhat different from the ancient Buddhism."
"The monks in this whirling pure land cannot step onto it."
"You have a Yang body and can cultivate the three complete bodies. I thought that while one Sambhogakaya sits on the Zen path, the other incarnation can take over the Tathagata's position and establish the Tathagata's cause and effect."
"With this cause and effect, I, who is a Buddhist disciple, can enter your Zen sect and practice the Zen path."
"How about it?"
"Anyway...that incarnation is just idle when it's idle. Don't you think so?"
Chen Luo: (;?д?)
Damn it!
be cheated!
You, the kind-hearted, compassionate Ksitigarbha, dig a hole for me too!
After all, ginger is still hotter!
I was careful enough, but I couldn't guard against it.
Sure enough, the nursery rhyme was right——
Taoism is ruthless, Confucianism is dirty, and Buddhism makes people panic.
…
Of course, the above is just a joke.
Chen Luo knew in his heart that he had gotten a big deal.
Even though Emperor Lin kept complaining about the position of Tathagata, it was because Chen Luo himself was the Taoist master. If it were any other person, it would be a huge blessing.
What does it mean to establish the cause and effect of the Tathagata, and to join the Zen sect in the sect of Buddhism?
This is equivalent to giving Buddhism to Chen Luo, and Chen Luo is the ancestor of this new Buddha!
Buddhism is really destined for me!
Even though the Pure Land of Whirlpool can only be in the Netherworld now, but it can seal the sea of blood, its strength is incredible. And if they all practice Zen, it will naturally be of great benefit to Chen Luo. It will also be great for anyone in the world to enter Zen practice. There are benefits.
"I have a group of ancestors in the Netherworld!"
The key is, with Chen Luo here, waiting for Linhuang's Avenue of Life and Death to control the Netherworld, and the reincarnation of the two realms is reestablished, who can say that the ancient Buddha cannot return?
And Chen Luo's contribution was just two clones. This clone was cultivated through the top secret techniques of Buddhism.
"The cultivation of the three bodies also takes time. There is no rush in this matter. I will come back when you have an incarnation." Ksitigarbha smiled and added, "Don't be impatient and ruin the progress of your cultivation."
At this time, Ksitigarbha spoke to Chen Luo again, his words were less polite and more intimate, as if he was looking at his own disciple.
"Yes!" Chen Luo saluted, "Junior knows."
"The Whirlpool Pure Land has also accumulated a lot of wish power. After you have completed your incarnation, you can mobilize it." Ksitigarbha said again, "When the sea of blood is refining, I need to reunite my two bodies. Then you can be where you came from. . If you feel that it is inconvenient to manage the Nether Gate affairs, you can entrust Yi Xing and others to handle it for you."
"Anyway, that's what my Sambhogakaya does."
After listening to Ksitigarbha's instructions, Chen Luo understood that it was time to leave.
Ksitigarbha Tathagata said it was okay, but Chen Luo noticed that when he communicated with himself, the spread of golden light in the sea of consciousness stopped.
Not to mention that the Dharmakaya himself is still in the sea of blood.
I'm just trying to dig a hole for myself.
"Tathagata, if there are no other instructions, I will leave first."
"Yes." At this time, Ksitigarbha did not try to persuade me to stay again, but just gave another instruction, "Practice the three body method as soon as possible."
"I will." Chen Luo nodded, saluted again, and then his body slowly floated away, and his soul returned.
Looking at Chen Luo's disappearing mind, Ksitigarbha Tathagata showed a faint smile on his lips.
"Heaven will never destroy my Buddhist door!"
"The trouble of the sea of blood lasts for three generations!"
"It should stop from this generation!"
Ksitigarbha Tathagata's eyes suddenly flashed with golden light, and the previously stagnant golden light suddenly shone brightly, and the entire sea of souls instantly turned into a world of golden light.
Ksitigarbha Tathagata looked at the six Rakshasa girls and nodded.
"Let's go, return to the sea of blood!"
The six Rakshasa girls bowed respectfully, Ksitigarbha Tathagata closed his eyes again, and his figure disappeared into the sea of souls...
…
The Great Hall.
Chen Luo slowly opened his eyes, and many eyes came over him.
"Buddha, what's wrong?" Yi Xing Bodhisattva asked first.
Chen Luo nodded: "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life!"
At this moment, a heavy sigh sounded.
"Alas... no one noticed that I woke up too?" A familiar tone came from the Sambhogakaya of Ksitigarbha Tathagata.
"Oh... I'm too angry, I'm too angry..."
"Oh...it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter..."
"Anyway, he will be a new Tathagata from now on..."
"well……"
After hearing Ksitigarbha's words, all the Bodhisattvas looked at Chen Luo again, and Chen Luo smiled awkwardly.
"Ksitigarbha's true heart taught me the Three Body Dharma, allowing me to... establish the cause and effect of the Tathagata!"
As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the hall.
Immediately, the Bodhisattvas looked at Ksitigarbha again, and Ksitigarbha yawned and nodded.
"Wait for me to refine..."
Before Ksitigarbha finished speaking, the three great Bodhisattvas took the lead in clasping their hands and bowing to Chen Luo: "I have seen the Tathagata!"
The other Bodhisattvas also saluted and said, "I have seen the Tathagata!"
Chen Luo was startled and waved his hand quickly: "No, not now."
"In the future, you have to wait until I refine the three bodies first, and then Ksitigarbha Tathagata refines the sea of blood before... Tathagata, please say something!"
Ksitigarbha Tathagata looked listless and shook his head.
"Oh...that's it, it doesn't matter, it's fine..."
"Oh, I'm so sleepy."
Chen Luo: (￣ー￣)
Never imagined,
In the end I became a Tathagata!
…
Human world, Lingzhou.
A ray of light suddenly appeared in the sky, and then the ray of light turned into a flying fireball, falling directly towards the bamboo sea.
Almost at the same time, layers of cyan light appeared above the Bamboo Sea. The light curtain circulated and exuded majestic spiritual energy.
At this time, Lang Feixian held a long sword in his hand and sneered.
"Humph, I finally waited."
"Someone actually dares to attack the bamboo forest!"
"Lao Qi, remove the formation, I want to take a good... hmm?"
Langfei's fairy tale stopped abruptly midway through.
At the same time, the formation above the bamboo forest melted rapidly at a speed that the naked eye could not catch up with, leaving only layers of thin righteousness nets.
Immediately afterwards, the "meteor" landed on the righteous net, as if it hit a speed bump, slowing down rapidly, and a figure could be vaguely seen in the firelight.
The figure in the firelight fell into the bamboo forest. The firelight dispersed, revealing a slim figure.
The long sword in Lang Feixian's hand fell to the ground with a clang, and a smile quickly appeared on his face.
Before Lang Feixian could say anything, he saw a paper dove flying over, and a human figure jumped out from the paper dove. The figure grew in the wind and turned into an ordinary-looking person. The man took out a talisman from his arms. , threw it out, the talisman turned into a handsome young man with a "bang" sound.
At the same time, a black-faced old man came running like a gust of wind.
The three heroes left behind in the bamboo forest looked at the woman in front of them and said in unison: "Second Junior Sister (Sister), why are you back?"
Ling Chuchu, who was tired of the journey, shook his neck. Zhulin Laoqi immediately waved his hand, and several talismans flew out and turned into several talisman figures. They landed on Ling Chuchu's shoulders and began to hammer them.
"You are all here!"
"It's okay, it's just that Wo is making a lot of noise outside the sky. Old man Yan just said that he wants his little brother to be the Dharma minister, so the old man asked Wo to come back and take care of it!"
"Is he someone else? Still in Southern Wilderness?"
"No, no!" Lang Feixian answered so quickly that Zhulin Laoqiu didn't even try to gag, "My junior brother has gone to the underworld."
Hearing Lang Feixian's words, Ling Chuchu's eyes turned cold, a ball of flame emerged from his feet, a bamboo stick suddenly appeared in his hand, and his tone was full of murderous intent!
"What did you say?"
"Which one can do it?"
