Chapter 402 Meeting the Buddha again, paying homage to the Supreme Being, and Lu Xuan’s showdown
The body of Taiyi is empty, and its transcendent characteristics are missing;
Fuxi possesses outrageous and extremely detached characteristics, and there is a high probability that he possesses the [god] abandoned by Emperor Wa.
Coupled with the full confidence of Bodhi and Demon Ancestor, Xiao Nian was almost held hostage.
Lu Xuan's expression became more and more serious, and he felt that the current situation was getting more and more weird.
What's going on with Taiyi?
If Fuxi is the [god] of Emperor Wa, then who was the ‘Emperor Wa’ who was hidden in the transcendent sea of light before?
While he was thinking, Lu Xuan turned his attention to Xiao Huo'er, with a look of confusion on his face. According to the empress, Xiao Huo'er was almost replaced by Fu Xi, but at the critical moment, he burst out with Dao Fruit level cultivation.
"Little Huo'er."
"Master, I'm here!"
The little guy ran over in a hurry, with a simple and honest look on his face:
"Master, your orders!"
Looking at this little guy, Lu Xuan couldn't connect it with Dao Fruit. He personally brought Xiao Huo'er out of Suigu.
If there is a problem, can he still not know?
After pondering for a long time, Lu Xuan stroked Xiao Huo'er's head and sighed softly:
"How is your practice of Heavenly Book going?"
Xiao Huo'er felt a little guilty and said coquettishly:
"It's not bad, I'm already big!"
"You oh you"
Lu Xuan gently knocked on the little Taoist boy's head and said gently:
"Remember, don't slack off. The catastrophe is coming, and I may not be able to protect myself. If something happens to me as a teacher, how will you survive like this?"
Xiao Huo'er's eyes widened:
"Master, what nonsense are you talking about? Who dares to embarrass you? I will beat him!"
As it spoke, it rolled up its sleeves, looking menacing, blowing and glaring.
"You."
Lu Xuan laughed and shook his head, but his expression became gentler:
"I'll arrange a way for you to survive. Are you interested?"
Xiao Huoer said without thinking:
"But obey the master's orders!"
Lu Xuan nodded slightly and had a certain idea in his heart. With the teacher's blessing, Xiao Huo'er possessed some of the characteristics of a perfect Taoist fruit.
It cannot be remembered or recognized.
This feature cannot be wasted. If used well, it may have miraculous effects.
After thinking about it, Lu Xuan looked serious:
"In this way, you go to the big world, go to the Tao Dynasty, find [Huaguo Mountain], stay in that mountain, and wait for the little monkey to be born."
Xiao Huo'er nodded without hesitation, bowed solemnly, and slowly exited the Zixiao Palace. When the door of Zixiao Palace closed,
The little guy jumped three feet high:
"Let's play!"
It slipped into the long river of time.
"This kid" Lu Xuan laughed dumbly, shook his head, and his eyes deepened.
"The details about Fu Xi are probably clear. Taiyi, what about you? Where does your confidence come from? Are you so sure that you can accomplish what you want?"
While talking to himself, Lu Xuan let out a breath of turbid air, and his main thoughts were withdrawn from the master of Zixiao Palace and returned to his [original body].
He looked back over the years, returned to the Dao Dynasty, gazed at the falling golden bridges, and felt the growing momentum of the years.
Without hesitation, he immediately walked in the direction of [Tai Shang Tian].
………………
A certain mysterious Taoist palace.
Lu Nian yawned and rubbed his eyes:
"Your Majesty, I have learned this technique, what should I do now?"
Empress Houtu smiled slightly:
"Yes, we entered the country very quickly. Da Luo is already in sight. We are only one step away. What I will teach you next is the [Slaying Heaven Technique]."
"The Heaven-Destroying Technique?" Lu Nian asked curiously, "What is that?"
Houtu Youyang said:
"In the most ancient years, Taiyi swallowed up the first emperor of heaven, and then established the ancient heaven on his own. During that time, there were people with great supernatural powers who rose up to resist, and some of the first emperors of heaven studied the Dharma under their command.
Finally, this [Slaying Heaven Technique] was created. "
After a pause, she raised her eyelids slightly and continued:
"This method can cut down the power of the sky and attack the world. It once severely damaged Taiyi. Now Taiyi is the enemy of your father. If you practice this method, you may not be able to help your father in the future. Do you want to learn it?"
"Learn! Learn!" Lu Nian nodded desperately.
Hou Tu smiled:
"good."
After a pause, she began to explain and elaborate on the general outline of this method, with a solemn expression:
"The heaven-killing method can break the power of the sky, kill the great fortune of humanity, break the foundation of the Nine Netherworlds, hit the ancient emperor of heaven, and kill all living things."
"But this method is harsh. Once it is used, there will be a great tide that will sweep through all the worlds and alarm all living beings."
"Listen to what I have to say."
Soon, the lecture on "The Heaven-Destroying Technique" was finished. Lu Nian was immersed in the supreme mystery, as if he was intoxicated. It took him a long time to come back to his senses.
"What a wonderful trick."
She sighed in admiration and immediately became excited:
"Empress, can you help dad if you learn this heaven-killing technique? Then I have to be more serious. When you learn it, show it off to dad!"
"Even if you learn it, you must never show off."
Hou Tu stretched out his hand and tapped Lu Nian's forehead lightly, and chuckled:
"When your father is fighting with Taiyi, wouldn't it be better if you use this method to help your father? Wouldn't your father be even more surprised?"
"Too."
A silly smile appeared on Lu Nian's face, as if he had foreseen the scene Hou Tu described, and his father was grateful to him.
"Then do it!"
She clenched her fists hard.
………………
The years of the Tao Dynasty.
At this time, it had been seven thousand seven hundred years since the Tao Dynasty was established, and four thousand years had passed since the establishment of the Buddhist Kingdom.
The world is prosperous and all things prosper. Although the Tao Dynasty suppressed Buddhism, it did not completely stop it and did not destroy Buddhism.
The Buddhist Kingdom also maintains its quiet duties, occupying a small territory and teaching Buddhists and preaching scriptures all day long.
In the Buddhist Kingdom.
Sakyamuni Tathagata stared at the decree that floated up over the years, narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a long time, and finally followed it.
"Landeng."
He handed the decree forward and said softly:
"From today onwards, the Buddha of the past will be the Immortal Golden Buddha of Yaochi. Light the lamp and you should abdicate."
The ancient Buddha of Ran Deng raised his head sadly, nodded slightly, looked deeply at the fairy mother who abandoned the path and became a Buddha, stood up slowly, and gave way to the Buddha's seat.
All the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas looked at each other and remained silent.
When the Immortal Mother sits solemnly on the lotus platform of the former Buddha, and when the title of "Yao Chi Innocent Golden Buddha" is announced to the Buddha both at home and abroad,
Sakyamuni Tathagata clasped his hands together and received the second Bodhi Dharma decree that fell over the years.
The golden decree expanded, and the supreme Buddha's light shone, illuminating the entire Leiyin Temple!
On it, the characters of "Lord Buddha" are vigorous and powerful. Between each stroke, it seems that there are countless Buddha lands rising and falling, and there seem to be countless Buddhas reciting scriptures in it!
"Xuan!"
The voice of the ancient Buddha Bodhi rises from the vastness of the Dharma.
"The Buddha's kingdom should be prosperous, the Buddha's way should be prosperous, Sakyamuni Tathagata should be the first deity in the Buddha's kingdom, and the Yaochi Inanimate Golden Buddha, Ananda, and Kasyapa should be the second deities."
"In the palm of Sakyamuni, the Golden Buddha, Ananda, and Kassapa each hold the three lands of east, south, and north. They jointly govern the Buddha's kingdom and share the great destiny of the Buddha's path. In the Buddha's kingdom and on the Buddha's land, there should be great momentum!"
"All matters should be decided jointly by the four deities."
When the edict was handed down, the fairy mother smiled, Ananda and Kassapa respectfully accepted the edict. They were blessed by the great fortune of Buddhism and Taoism, and they were shining brightly!
Lu Xuan's expression did not change much, he was still full of compassion, but he knew in his heart that Bodhi did not dare to trust him completely after all.
Feeling that most of the Buddhist and Taoist fortune that had blessed this body was stripped away, he slightly lowered his eyelids. After the decree dissipated,
Lu Xuan, who looked like Sakyamuni Tathagata, sighed and said Amitabha without explaining, and walked out of the Great Leiyin Temple.
He took the two great sages Ananda and Kassapa down the Lingshan Mountain and walked in the Buddhist kingdom. When passing by a field, Lu Xuan stretched out his hand and pointed:
"Farmers work at sunrise and rest at sunset. Day after day, it is boring and boring. They cannot rest all year round. It is difficult to leave this house and field in their lifetime. If they have children, when they grow up, they will also have to go to the same place to cultivate a field and interact with each other. It’s hard to see each other. Is this suffering?”
Ananda and Kassapa looked at each other in surprise. The former thought for a while and followed the words:
"Plowing the fields day after day without rest all year round, straining one's muscles and bones and injuring one's body and skin, is naturally considered miserable."
Lu Xuan nodded slightly and asked again:
"Where does this suffering come from?"
Venerable Kasyapa replied naturally:
"It comes from hard work."
"Then why does he work?" Lu Xuan asked again.
Ananda and Kassapa looked at each other and hesitated for a moment. The former replied simply:
"To live."
"That's not the case, that's not the case."
Lu Xuan clasped his hands together and sighed softly:
"For the living beings in the Buddha's land, those who recite sutras will live without grains, and those who recite my name will live longer. Their life spans are better than those of true immortals. They can live forever without eating or working. Why do they still have to endure this suffering?"
Ananda and Kasyapa looked at each other and saluted at the same time:
"May the World Honored One clarify my doubts!"
They are all disciples of Sakyamuni. Although they occupy the [Arhat Status], they are still in the position of [Great Arhat].
Both of them are also great lords, standing at the top of the entire Lingshan Buddhist Kingdom. Otherwise, they would not have been appointed as the second lord of the Buddhist Kingdom.
Lu Xuan raised his eyelids at this time, stared at the middle-aged farmer who was working, and said calmly:
"To accumulate merit and cultivate for the next life, this is why he has to work all his life. Farmers plow [fields] and plant Buddha grains as many as the sands of the Ganges River.
These farmers, at the end of the day, have been good people for ten generations. They cultivate the fields with their own energy. A Buddha can be born from a grain of millet, and a Buddha can help the fortune of Buddhism by one point."
Ananda thought thoughtfully:
"Plant the Buddha, accumulate merit, and cultivate the next life."
Lu Xuan, who looked like Sakyamuni Tathagata, sighed again:
"Do you know what the afterlife they have accomplished is?"
Hearing this, Ananda and Kassapa subconsciously looked at the farmers. They were all Daluo. After looking at the years before and after, they immediately understood.
These good people from ten to a hundred generations have used their luck and destiny to cultivate fields and plant Buddha grains.
After exhausting your luck and destiny, your merits will be complete in the next life.
Become a Buddha that grows from a grain of millet.
"Become a Buddha in one step, and your merits will be complete." Ananda said with a smile: "My Buddha is compassionate!"
Lu Xuan glanced at him:
"No, no!"
After a pause, he looked miserable and lowered his eyelids:
"The Buddha who grows from the rice fields does not enter the spiritual mountain or sit on the lotus platform. This is to increase my luck in the Buddha's path, and also to serve as generals and soldiers in future battles. They are all pawns."
Ananda Kasyapa's expression changed. They really didn't know about this matter. It was a secret. Now I went to see those farmers and gained insight into the fate of some people, only to find that it was indeed the case.
Practice good deeds for hundreds of lives, and then use up all your energy and destiny to cultivate Yuntian and Buddha fields. Finally, your merits are perfect, but you will become a cannon fodder Buddha in the next life.
"how so?!"
Kasyapa looked at him angrily:
"World Honored One, why is this?! This trip, this trip."
Ananda said with an ugly expression:
"Such behavior is absolutely not compassionate!"
Lu Xuan said quietly:
"Yeah, definitely not compassionate."
"So World Honored One, why is this happening? Who decided it?"
After a moment of silence, Lu Xuan did not answer, but simply said:
"The purpose of cultivating Buddhism is to save all sentient beings and save suffering. Before that, we must first eliminate our own catastrophes."
A look of confusion appeared on Kasyapa's face, but he did not ask any questions and just listened quietly.
Lu Xuan continued:
"There is a supreme being who, in order to avoid his own calamity, will send the calamity he should have experienced to all living beings."
Ananda and Kassapa's expressions all changed. Are they sharing their own calamity with all living beings?
Their minds changed, and they suddenly understood,
The suffering these farmers have experienced is the suffering of the Supreme Being in the words of the Blessed One!
Every time a farmer plants a Buddha, the Buddha's fortune will increase, and those who inherit the Buddha's fortune will be stronger. And if you look carefully, you and others will all be the beneficiaries.
The grumpy Ananda immediately asked:
"World Honored One, who are you talking about?"
Lu Xuan smiled silently and sighed:
"Mercy, mercy!"
He stopped paying attention to Ananda and Kassapa, and just walked towards the farmland. The two great Buddhist sages stood there silently.
Sakyamuni Tathagata is the first Buddha in Buddhism, and there are only three others above him.
The two of them clasped their hands together, with a look of sorrow on their faces, and were speechless for a long time.
Lu Xuan's last words came unexpectedly:
"The Buddha was supposed to save all sentient beings, but now, it is all sentient beings who save the Buddha."
"The road is off track."
Ananda and Kasyapa were greatly shaken.
At this time, Lu Xuan completely stopped talking and waited for them to think about it. These two little guys are truly compassionate.
Lu Xuan personally exposed the truth about Buddhism for them and planted a seed. As for whether the seed will sprout.
Let’s see what happens next.
While thinking, he slowly walked towards a middle-aged farmer who was plowing the fields, and clasped his hands together:
"Senior, long time no see."
[Buddha] wiped his sweat, put down the hoe, and smiled honestly:
"I already know your purpose of coming."
………………
At the same time, it’s too heavenly.
Lu Xuanzhi's true form stood outside Tushita Palace for a long time, and finally knocked on the palace door and walked in.
"Grandpa Lu!"
Lu Jianxue cheered and ran forward. Taishang Laojun, who was meditating, looked sideways and said with a smile:
"I think you stopped outside the palace for a long time. Did you encounter some difficulty? But it doesn't matter."
Lu Xuan rubbed Lu Jianxue's head, and under the awed gaze of Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao, he walked up to Taishang Laojun and sat down cross-legged.
After sorting out my thoughts and thinking about it for a while,
Lu Xuan coughed twice:
"Teacher, please sit still, I have many things to tell you, and this is the first thing you need to do, please sit still!"
Taishang Laojun frowned slightly:
"Xiaoxuan, it doesn't matter, I'm here."
He thought his disciple was in some big trouble, so he put his palms on the Bagua stove, ready to lift the lid!
Lu Xuan took a deep breath. The long-term pain was not as good as the short-term pain, so he chose to show his cards directly:
"My disciple also had other teachers in the past."
