Ksitigarbha stared at him for a long time, thoughtfully, and suddenly said: "You are in a hurry, where are you going?" Every sound fell, as clear as a bell, hitting his ears lightly or heavily, and his Zen mind Then it rose, fell, and trembled, feeling lost for a moment.
Ku Rong frowned, held the seal with his right hand, and blurted out in a daze: "According to the order of the Buddha, go to the Star Territory to act."
A flash of blood flashed in Ksitigarbha's eyes, and he said again: "But for the palaces of Nantianmen?"
Ku Rong was deeply alarmed by this. Ksitigarbha became one of the great masters in just eight hundred years. He rose like a comet, which can be called a legend in Daleiyin Temple. However, according to the Tathagata's decree, how can irrelevant people be allowed to ask questions and make random decisions? When it comes to cause and effect, it is superfluous to answer "I am going to the star field to act under the orders of the Buddha". Why is it so careless that the other party blurts out the answer when asked casually? He kept his Zen mind and lowered his head to think. He always felt that something was wrong and remained silent for a while.
Ksitigarbha made a calculation with his fingers and realized something in his mind, saying: "If it's not the Nantianmen, it's the Six Desire Heavenly Clan..."
Before he finished speaking, a bell rang out from the Great Thunder Sound Temple, resounding throughout the world. Ananda, a disciple of the Tathagata, stepped out of the mountain gate, put his hands together and saluted, and on the order of the Buddha, invited Ksitigarbha to enter the temple. Ku Rong breathed a long sigh of relief. Ksitigarbha had great magical powers. No, it should be said that the magical powers were weird. In front of him, his Zen mind was shaky, which was very inappropriate. Fortunately, Ananda stopped him in time and avoided the trouble.
Ksitigarbha looked at him deeply, the blood in his eyes became more and more intense, and said in a deep voice: "I am going to the Star Territory, and there are dangers everywhere. I will give you a lotus seed, which can resolve a life and death disaster." After speaking, he flicked his finger, A flash of blood light flew into Ku Rong's body and disappeared without a trace.
Ku Rong's face changed greatly, and he quickly looked inside with his wise eyes, only to see that there was a bright red blood lotus seed in his heart orifice. The aura was dim and unclear, not like something from Buddhism. He couldn't help but look up at Ananda, but saw that this "most knowledgeable" senior brother turned a blind eye and waved his hand to order him to retreat. He knew that the Buddha's wise eyes knew everything and observed everything, so he ordered Ananda to come out. There must be a reason for the invitation from the temple.
Ksitigarbha scolded: "Just go on your own, don't disobey the Buddha's order!" He stretched out his hand to push, and Ku Rong's body flew up into the air involuntarily. The next moment, he was shocked to realize that he was already in the vast star field, and the Western Heaven Lingshan transformed into A small point of light, submerged in the infinite starlight, disappeared without a trace. What kind of magical power is this? With a raise of his hand, he moved himself into the star field. After countless worlds, where can he find the spiritual mountain? Ku Rong bathed in the starlight and stood there for a long time. He had no choice but to sigh and act as ordered, waiting to see him again in the future.
Ksitigarbha sent Ku Rong away, followed Ananda to the Great Thunder Sound Temple, and came to the main hall to pay homage to Tathagata Buddha. The main hall was empty, without the grand occasion of listening to the Dharma in the past. The Buddha sat in the middle, looking at Ksitigarbha for a long time, tracing the line of cause and effect back to the source, but was blocked by the boundary wall and suddenly died.
The Tathagata thought for a long time and said to Ksitigarbha: "Has a big change happened under the abyss?"
A smile emerged from the corner of Ksitigarbha's mouth, and wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes and brows, like the dry and cracked earth. His face was aging rapidly, his body was hunched and thin, and the vitality in his body had plummeted. He murmured: "The land of the abyss will never be destroyed, the land of the Three Realms will never wake up, the earth will be turned upside down, and the ruler will fall. How can this not be a big change..."
Tathagata's brows tightened, then relaxed, and asked again: "Gaya and Boxun fell into the abyss, but what happened to them?"
Ksitigarbha's old face was wrinkled, and he seemed to be crying and laughing at the same time. He groaned: "What do they mean to each other... The will of the abyss has made a comeback, the generals have returned to their hearts, and they have launched a bloody battle..." His voice became lower and lower. , the body turned into flying ashes and slowly rose up.
The will of the abyss was freed. In order to regain the original power, the bloody battle was pushed into unprecedented chaos and went straight to the bottom of the abyss. King Ksitigarbha had fallen, and a ray of will left in the blood lotus seed was awakened. He did not want to stay. At the Great Leiyin Temple, I took advantage of Ku Rong's hand and threw myself into the star field, looking for opportunities to break and stand again. An idle piece that fell carelessly back then has now become the decisive factor in winning or losing. Although the chance is slim, it is much luckier than having to die.
The Tathagata sat back and watched Ksitigarbha disappear into ashes, without taking action to save him or stop him from being reborn through blood lotus seeds. The cause he planted that day is now the fruit. Buddhism is the most important cause and effect. Since he accepted his power to defeat the false Buddha Gaya, After winning the Lingshan Buddhist Realm, it is reasonable to repay him and help him. Ksitigarbha could not believe in the Tathagata, and would rather give the blood lotus seeds to Ku Rong and go far away from the star realm to seek misty opportunities than be reborn in the Great Leiyin Temple and fall into the eyes of the Tathagata.
He finally underestimated Tathagata.
In the star field, Ku Rong stepped on the auspicious clouds and hurriedly searched for the whereabouts of the heavenly beings. On that day, the Six Desire Heavens responded to the Buddha's request and attacked the Zhengyang Gate after the Sixth Palace outside the Thirty-three Heavens. The Demon Lord of the Zizai Heaven had ulterior motives and deliberately delayed the attack. They dispatched all their elites and moved forward enthusiastically. Unexpectedly, there was a battle outside Zhengyang Gate. The emperor's son won a great victory. Demon King Bo Xun took advantage of the emptiness behind the heavens and struck back. He annexed the Liuyu Heaven and became the dominant family.
Among the six heavenly beings of desire, the ones with the deepest connection with Buddhism are undoubtedly the eight heavenly dragons, the so-called one heavenly being, the two dragons, the three yakshas, the four gandharvas, the five asuras, the six garudas, the seven kimnaras, and the bamahuras. Jia, both are Buddhist protectors, half-human and half-god, with vast supernatural powers, among whom the most powerful one is the Lord of Trayasatha, Emperor Shakti. Since Emperor Shitian descended, there are still the four kings of holding the country, growing, widening his eyes, and learning more, and the god of Tushita and the gods, all of them are outstanding men of the moment. The emperor's son Yuanjun joined forces, but they can't keep them. After judging the situation, they can only ask for help. Emperor Shitian took a lotus platform, took an ancient lamp from Bati God, and let him leave.
The emperor did not care about these external objects. A Saha lamp in front of the Buddha was given to Xihua Yuanjun to protect his body. A green lotus and white lotus platform was given to Fan Wei, the Lord of the West of the Abyss, as a token of alliance.
Demon King Bo Xun occupied Liuyu Tian, and Emperor Shitian and others lost their treasures and lost their way back. They did not want to go to Daleiyin Temple in Xitian Lingshan to live under the shelter of others, so they had to wander in the star field, looking for a place to stay. There are dangers everywhere in the star field. Star beasts secretly attack from time to time and devour the teeth of the heavenly beings. As time goes by, people's hearts become disorganized. The other generations are divided into seven or eight branches, each going his own way and looking for a way out. One branch of the dragon community was summoned by the Dragon King, crossed the star field from the Gate of Convenience, threw itself into the heaven, returned to the Dragon King's command, and was the first to settle down. The other branches were like rootless duckweeds, struggling to survive, and with good luck, they bumped into a lower realm. , took a temporary shelter, but was unlucky enough to be swallowed up by the star field, and died without a burial place.
The star field is vast, and searching for the whereabouts of the heavenly beings is like looking for a needle in a haystack. When Ku Rong left the Great Leiyin Temple, the Tathagata gave him a diamond circle, which contained a breath of Emperor Shitian, and he was guided by it without any need. Take the wrong path and go straight to the hiding place of the Eight Heavenly Dragons.
