Buddhism's Lingshan Mountain looks like a high mountain from the outside, and its size seems difficult to measure.
But if you have enough magic power, merit, and blessings, the moment your thoughts in your heart really come into contact with the spiritual mountain, your whole body and mind will enter the vast world, and the mountain shadow in front of you will completely disappear, revealing the infinite vastness. Infinitely beautiful pure land.
There are no seasonal changes in spring, summer, autumn and winter, no differences in hot and cold temperatures, no rain, and no darkness.
The natural climate is flawless and beautiful every day. The auspicious clouds in the sky are ever-changing and colorful, without making people dizzy. They only make people feel relaxed, happy and colorful.
There are no large or small rivers and oceans, hills, pits, thorns, gravels, Tiefei Mountains, Sumeru Mountains, earth-rock mountains, etc. on the ground. Only the seven naturally occurring treasures and gold are used as the ground.
The earth paved with these seven kinds of treasures and gold is broad and flat, without limit, both subtle and magical, both pure and solemn.
The trees, flowers and plants that grow on such land do not require any pruning, guidance, cutting and construction. They will naturally grow into countless palaces, mandala, pagodas, golden beds, lamp towers, incense ponds, etc. of various sizes, for use in the Pure Land. The Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, gods, humans, souls, and all sentient beings in the world can use it and enjoy it forever. This is called ultimate happiness.
In the center of the Pure Land, there is a magnificent golden body, which is exactly the appearance of Lingshan Buddha.
He has a total of eleven faces. The top of his head seems to touch the highest point of the infinite void. Forty-eight arms are opened in various directions, either stretching the seals or holding magic weapons. Each arm has the power to grasp the sea of suffering and lift up the other side. The artistic conceptions are different, and they seem to be sensing the subtle atmosphere of the heavens and the world from afar.
The golden cassock hanging down is the immeasurable merits and virtues given by the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Lingshan. After being weighed by the entire pure land of Lingshan, it was pressed into silk threads and then woven.
Such a cassock is enough to cover the entire body of the Lingshan Buddha from the eleven appearances down to the elbow crooks of the forty-eight arms, and then extends downward to cover the lotus platform.
In the void around the golden body of the Buddha, the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhat monks in Lingshan were either riding on auspicious clouds, riding on spiritual animals, or sitting on lotus pedestals, floating one after another. Each of them expounded a profound and wonderful spiritual conception of Buddhism, and also displayed the Vajra body. , bright clouds, stupas and other visions.
However, compared with the golden body of the Buddha, their bodies are much smaller, and their voices of pious chanting are also subtle and low, mixed in the Sanskrit sounds in the sky, and they are not noticeable.
Suddenly, a wisp of green smoke flew from outside the pure land, and in front of the Buddha's golden body, the smoke gradually piled up and curved to form a letter, like a small dragon, a snake, or a variety of birds and animals, forming a letter.
This kind of writing is the Shinto bronze inscription of the Heavenly Fire Department. It has profound meaning. With just one word, all living beings in the world of the Great Dao can be enlightened. Looking back on their life experiences, all the details are revealed, without losing or forgetting. .
When necessary, this kind of text can refer to a specific target, and only the person designated to receive the letter can see the meaning.
In the surrounding void, those Bodhisattvas, Arhats, and Vajra monks clearly saw the process of stacking smoke and clearly saw the fonts, but they could not understand the meaning of those words.
"Tianzun Mufeng is really good at calculating, and all the immortals from the four tribes of heaven are also very clever!"
After the Buddha took one look, he let out a low sigh. Among the Sanskrit sounds that filled the sky, there were immediately more dragons and elephants neighing, and evening drums and morning bells. It seemed that he was feeling sorry for the calculations of those heavenly gods and immortals, and wanted to help them purify their distracting thoughts.
He branched out an arm and clicked on the letter. The incense and text changed so that all the surrounding Buddhas and Bodhisattvas could understand its meaning.
"It has been billions of years since Mufeng Tianzun reached the third step in the realm of Tianzun. He has not been able to make any progress. His nature is like a stubborn stone. He has not cut himself off and re-cultivated. With the help of Shouyang Mountain to observe the world, he cannot have much growth. .”
"It's just that I opened my Dharma eyes and looked at the sea from afar. I saw that the human race, the Dan tribe and the fairy clan were already colluding. The divine armored Taoist king of the fairy clan was no small matter. The Fengming Tianzun mentioned in the letter was also quite impressive. place."
"If they have the help of Shouyang Mountain to observe the Great Way of All Realms in addition to comprehending the Holy Lands, I am afraid they will benefit a lot. This matter cannot be ignored."
When the Buddha said this, he paused slightly and said loudly, "Among the Buddhas in Lingshan Mountain, who is willing to fetch Shouyang Mountain for me?"
Since the Buddha took over the Lingshan Mountain nine thousand years ago, he has been adding many Buddha titles.
Many great Bodhisattvas, whose power was equivalent to that of the masters of holy lands and who were in charge of their own pure lands, were encouraged by him to become true Buddhas, and various Buddha titles were assigned to them in advance.
But in the entire Taiqing Chiming, only the titles of the Underworld King of Hell and the Netherworld Cult Leader will receive significant power blessings that are enough to rank among the top ranks.
For those who have already reached the Holy Lord level, the increase in their strength is negligible.
Therefore, in the past nine thousand years, apart from the Buddha himself, Lingshan has only had five powerful men at the level of true Buddhas.
It is the Great Sage Protector Tathagata, together with the four wish-fulfilling Buddhas of Desire, Mindfulness, Advancement and Wisdom.
It was not until the period after the great tribulation broke out that six more powerful men at the level of true Buddhas entered the Pure Land of Lingshan, namely the false Ksitigarbha and the five demon kings.
The five heavenly demon kings now all have the title of Buddha, namely the Northern Lotus World Subtle Sound Buddha, the Majestic Sound King Tathagata, the Eternal Joy World Buddha, the Fragrant Accumulation Treasure Buddha, and the Seven Merited Ornate Buddhas.
The Buddha's words just fell.
The subtle voice of the Buddha from the Northern Lotus World spoke first and said with a smile: "Old Bald Lao, just let me go."
The four wish-fulfilling Buddhas all showed displeasure, while the Bodhisattvas and Arhats beside them all looked at their noses and minds, reciting the scriptures silently, unaware of external objects, as if they had not heard them at all.
"ha!"
The false King Ksitigarbha whispered to the Four Wish-fulfilling Buddhas, "Forbearing humiliation is a great merit in our Buddhist practice. It can also polish the Buddha's heart and bring about great light. Why should the four of you get angry with just a mere ridicule?"
The Buddha with a subtle voice nodded in agreement: "You are planning such a big thing in the underworld. If you leave it to this fake Ksitigarbha, he will completely mess it up. He almost got cut. Look at him for so long after he came back. I need to recover from my injuries first, and I didn’t say that I wanted to take revenge as soon as possible, which shows that I have deep determination.”
"You four have senior qualifications, so you can't even compare to someone like him... well, you can't compare to him."
The fake Ksitigarbha's expression remained unchanged, but his right hand silently changed into a mudra, his thumb and middle finger squeezed together, and a ball of golden sparks was squeezed out, just like a gold polo flower, blooming one after another.
This was a great wrathful flame, so powerful that it could be used to fight with a person at the level of the Holy Lord. He squeezed it between his two fingers, but it did not leak out, but was as soft as a flower. It was really profound and should not be underestimated.
It seems that his injuries have almost recovered during this period of time.
"By the way, the one who ruined your plan in the underworld, defrauded Jufa Quicksand, and almost killed you, is the Fengming Tianzun mentioned in the letter just now."
There was a look of distress on the face of the Buddha of Weisheng Sheng, and he shook his head and said, "No, no, I thought you were also a tough guy, so I went to take the lead. It will be useful to take you with me, but since you are there, My nemesis, it would be very unlucky to take you with me."
The fake King Ksitigarbha smiled but said: "It's just relying on the good location in the underworld and the power of the red lotus. A small temporary setback cannot be said to be a nemesis."
Although he still spoke with a smile on his face, everyone could already hear the anger in the fake Ksitigarbha's tone.
In fact, this is not to blame for their lack of concentration, it is just because this subtle voice Buddha is the one with the most profound cultivation among the five heavenly demon kings, and is the most able to arouse the anger of ignorance.
The fake Ksitigarbha possesses the main god center. He clearly knows that he is affected by supernatural powers, but what he talks about is exactly the pain point in his heart. He is also afraid that passively enduring it will leave a loophole, so he takes advantage of the situation and uses the great wrathful flame to vent.
He also used the main god center to check inside and outside to make sure that all the influence of this demon king had been eliminated.
"It is precisely through subtly speaking to the Buddha that this can be accomplished."
The Buddha looked at it with his dharma eyes and said, "Among you, Tiangu Buddha has a rare treasure in his hand. He is the three of the Eternally Happy World, the Treasure of Fragrance Accumulation, and the Seven Merit and Ornaments. He also has an old friend with the Subtle Sound Buddha. I would like to invite you to come together." Let’s go.”
Lingshan Buddha named some great Bodhisattvas again. The meaning revealed in his words was obviously to let Buddha Weiwei Sheng be the commander-in-chief of this operation. He did not blame the other party at all for his previous words.
This performance is firstly because Lingshan Buddha indeed has excellent concentration.
Secondly...the reason why the war between the Lingshan Pure Land and the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm was quickly settled.
Even the five heavenly demon kings entered the Lingshan Mountain together, swore an oath on the rudimentary form of their own path and fruit, and then swore a great oath to the Lingshan Mountain and received the title of Buddha.
All this is because during the war between the two parties, when the Demon Realm was beginning to show its decline, Buddha Weisheng directly led all his followers to seek refuge in Lingshan, and in turn lobbied the other four demon kings.
It is no exaggeration to say that the great contribution of the Buddha of Mysterious Sound not only far exceeds that of a new ally like the fake Ksitigarbha, but even surpasses that of the four wish-fulfilling Buddhas who have been serving the Buddha for a long time.
The Buddha with a subtle voice did not say goodbye to the Buddha. He smiled, patted the lotus platform under his buttocks, pointed towards the southern boundary sea, and left the pure land of Lingshan on the spot and flew into the boundary sea.
Among the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, those who wanted to participate in this operation had no choice but to follow.
After everyone left, the four wish-fulfilling Buddhas exchanged worried looks and secretly transmitted messages to the Buddha.
"I originally thought that the most important opponents in this catastrophe were the four Heavenly Tribes headed by Li Changling, as well as the various forces that Wen Qiu might be collaborating with."
"I didn't expect that after trapping the Lei tribe, the human race would take on the important task of leading the connection. It would be impossible for them to take away Shouyang Mountain with just Tiangu Buddha and others."
The Buddha responded calmly: "Don't worry, Weisheng Buddha also knows this truth. When we go this time, we will focus on harassment and will not attack rashly."
Yuruyi Buddha advised: "As the Demon King, how can he be trusted so easily and entrusted with important tasks? Why don't we ask the Buddha to lead us all out to repel the human race with great force, seize Shouyang Mountain, and occupy their holy land?" ?”
"All the demon kings in the sky are now restricted by double oaths and will not act recklessly."
After the Buddha reassured him, he said, "In terms of the number of holy places, after the alliance of all human races, there are already more than us. I am seriously injured. If I go forward abruptly, I won't be able to achieve the full success in one battle. Instead, I will be killed by others." The opponent has seen through the reality and must not act rashly."
After hearing these words, Yuruyi Buddha was shocked and asked quickly: "Buddha was hurt. When did it happen? Could it be that he had been with the Demon Secret Realm before..."
"It's to break through the secret realm of the Emperor Demon Pond."
Lingshan Buddha sighed softly, "That is the secret realm set up by the Emperor of Heaven. Even with the help of those rare treasures presented by the Supreme Lord Kongjie, and even if he led his people to the heaven to restrain him personally, in order to penetrate that secret realm, I still have to use my energy Big damage.”
"Emperor of Heaven, Emperor of Heaven, enlightened people, that is the magical power of a truly enlightened person."
"Although Supreme Lord Kong Jie is the oldest figure among the huge forces outside the world, there is no guarantee that he can completely contain the 'young' Emperor of Heaven. If I hadn't released Gong Gong, the Emperor of Heaven would still have a little bit of room to look down on the world. In this great war, Jie, how can I really let go and get what I want?!"
The Four Wish-fulfilling Buddhas are somewhat sighing because of this.
To them, the current Emperor of Heaven is just a junior, but after enlightenment, it makes no sense to say such things.
If the Emperor of Heaven is willing, he can completely adjust his existence until the birth of Taiqing Chiming. Countless catastrophes will cause him to become his junior, but he doesn't want to do that.
Just like Buddha, after he became enlightened, he was the ancestor of Buddhism. He did not need any prefixes and was a well-deserved Buddha.
If it weren't for the Buddha's willingness to recognize the Buddha, even the Four Wish-fulfilling Buddhas might not be able to continue to follow the Buddha unwaveringly.
"But if the Buddha still needs to slowly recover from his injuries, then Tianzun Wenqiu can't suppress him too quickly..."
Yu Ruyi Buddha hesitated and said, "How about we try to inform the Great Sage Protector Tathagata of all the recent changes, so that he can have some ideas?"
The Buddha only said: "The Great Xianhu and our allies have made plans long ago, so there is no need to disturb them now. Of course Wen Qiu cannot escape, but Li Changling cannot succeed too early. But the leadership of this matter has actually been from the beginning to the end. It’s not in the hands of Daxianhu and the others, it still depends on how long Li Changling is willing to send us away in order to target Wenqiu.”
The four wish-fulfilling Buddhas were all surprised: "Although Li Changling has good methods, his cultivation level should be worse than that of the Buddha. Even if the great sage protects the Buddha and the others, they can't stop him?"
The Buddha pondered, slowly cultivated himself, and never answered them again.
I don’t know how long it took before Si Ruyi Buddha heard a warning from the Buddha.
"Li Changling is in charge of the Department of Fire, which does not mean that he is also majoring in incense. You all need to remember that as long as the Emperor of Heaven does not appear, he is the highest among all the swordsmen in the world!" (End of this chapter)
