Li Jin is good at fighting.
But when he came to the outer territory to the north of the North, he was completely dumbfounded when he saw the ancient ferocious beasts, ancient divine beasts, and many creatures that he couldn't name, constantly pouring out of the black hole in the void.
"Where does that black hole in the void lead to?"
"Why are there such disasters in the Three Realms now?"
"Where are the heavenly soldiers of heaven? Where are the eight righteous gods? Why do these terrifying creatures from all over the ages have to be killed with the lives of ordinary soldiers of the Tang Dynasty?"
Li Jin looked at each and every one of them, as if they were blinded by the blood. When each one of them desperately threw themselves at the creatures countless times larger than himself, he fell into a state of confusion.
For a moment, he doubted whether this world was real.
then.
Reality gave him the answer.
When an ancient ferocious beast, the Soaring Snake, was besieged by tens of thousands of troops and easily killed countless living soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, its figure suddenly disappeared, as if it had exceeded the limit of the world, and suddenly turned into wisps of strange... The light dissipated between heaven and earth.
this moment.
It seems that a transformation of yin and yang that ordinary people cannot understand has occurred.
Li Jin felt that there was suddenly a lot of life in the air in the desolate Northland. Many soldiers around him also benefited from this, and a lot of power was born out of thin air in their bodies.
"is it here?"
"The place he's been looking for!"
Li Jin's eyes burst into joy.
No longer caring about his mortal body, he actually grabbed the weapons of the soldiers on the side and bravely killed a white ape in front of him.
After a bloody battle.
Li Jin narrowly escaped death, and finally joined forces with thousands of surrounding soldiers to kill the white ape, and managed to survive until the end in a battle that seemed to be about death.
When the white ape's body suddenly disappeared.
A force was transmitted to his body from somewhere.
The immortal bones that were removed actually gained many strange powers out of thin air.
"This is……"
Li Jin felt surprised.
This was a power he had never come into contact with before, as if it came from another world and was full of vitality. The rich vitality makes people feel terrible, as if it is beyond the extreme of life.
His body, which had been cursed by the Emperor's decree, began to gradually recover.
To know.
Even Yang Gang in ancient times was helpless in the face of the curse of Emperor Jun, and in the end he could only grow old and die in the dusk.
"It must be here! I found it!"
"I want to go back and tell him the news! I must go back..."
At that moment, Li Jin seemed to see the hope of final victory.
But he didn't know.
Such a scene does not only happen in the North of the North.
It also happened in a remote area outside the four poles of the world, in that unknown place. There were also countless mortal beings who seemed to have lost their minds, going crazy and 'confronting' with the life coming from the void.
Use the soul of the creature in the three realms to exchange for the replacement of the power of the void outside the territory.
And once these people die, their souls will never even appear in reincarnation in the underworld.
Therefore, countless living beings died in the Three Realms overnight, and many immortals, gods and powers in the Three Realms were not even aware of it.
Yang Gang is in heaven, so naturally he doesn't know all this.
Seeing that he could not find the entrance to the Sea of Bitterness, he had already begun to prepare another plan of his own.
March of the thirteenth year of Zhenguan.
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva on Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea walked on the waves, crossed the deep sea, and finally entered the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
However, what she saw and heard along the way with her two travelers was far beyond her expectations. At this time, the people of the Tang Dynasty were living in peace, and their lives were gradually getting richer. As the Buddhists expected, they began to care about the reincarnation of life and death.
This.
This is exactly what the Buddhist Mahayana Sutras are trying to explain.
But.
Along the way, Guanshiyin Bodhisattva found that people's faces were filled with happy smiles. They seemed not to be troubled by life, old age, illness and death, but seemed to have a higher goal in their hearts.
That is - the way of equality.
Here, many people with lofty ideals spontaneously preach in various places and lead the people to build homes and engage in production. It seems that in their eyes, there is no concept of cultivation and immortality at all.
The scene at this moment made Guanyin feel as if he had returned to the late period of the Dharma Ending Era.
Wait for her to investigate secretly.
Only then did I realize with shock that the so-called "people with lofty ideals" were actually transformed into saints from heaven and earth who had become enlightened in the Age of Dharma Ending.
They gave up their own principles in the past, and instead, like a tireless student, devoted themselves to studying a path called "people's livelihood".
A way of 'people's hearts'.
The two practitioners originally sent by Lingshan to assist Guanyin were about to eliminate the culprits who were hindering the Buddhist plan, but they were immediately stopped by her.
The power of a saint from heaven and earth may not be strong.
But they cannot be killed unless you defeat them logically.
However, the combined power of the Qingyun Saints was enough to push the entire Tang Dynasty forward and completely crush Buddhism's plan to advance eastwards.
For a while.
Plans to travel westward were in stalemate.
Avalokitesvara quickly sent a traveler back to Lingshan Mountain to report the matter to Tathagata Buddha.
She was in a very complicated mood at this moment.
On the one hand, she hopes that Buddhism will hit a wall and she will not need to get involved in this huge cause and effect trend. On the other hand, I am very curious as to which hand is driving all this behind the scenes.
'He' seemed to have done nothing, but he allowed countless people in this vast world to spontaneously block Buddhism's eastward march for him.
It was on this day that the traveler just left.
She met an unkempt old temple priest in the Tutu Temple where she lived outside the Holy Capital City.
"The Bodhisattva has come from afar. The Tang Dynasty is very lucky to invite you in for a cup of tea." The old man had a kind face and an ordinary aura.
But the plain aura that seemed to blend into the vast world made Guanyin's heart tremble.
"Who are you……"
A turbulent wave arose in her heart, like the endless undercurrent of the water of the South China Sea.
"The name of the past has long been forgotten. I am now just an ordinary student, studying Yang Shengxin's teachings in the world. If Bodhisattva is free, why not join me and take a look at the ordinary principles in this prosperous world?"
The old man said with a smile.
"yes."
When the practitioner next to him was about to scold him, Guanshiyin quickly stopped him and bowed respectfully to the old man.
The student-like posture made the practitioners around him turn pale with horror.
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva's past was Cihang DaZhen, who had attained enlightenment since the late Dharma Age and practiced for tens of thousands of years. In today's world, apart from the Tathagata Buddha, the Lord of Ten Thousand Vehicles, who else is worthy of her gift of being a disciple?
He didn't know.
There is a master of heaven and earth in this world, the most holy master, who is worthy of the rite of teacher and student for any living being in the three realms. Even the supreme Jade Emperor still had to perform a half-master's courtesy when facing that old man.
Say 'Kong Sheng'.
But such an old man, respected by all people in the world, has now left Qingyun Mountain, willing to turn saints into mortals in the secular world, and diligently study a truth that he has never heard of.
Guanyin's heart was completely at a loss.
What on earth are they doing?
