Chapter 1368: Leading the Lower Realm
In the Yuqing Palace, silence returned. Meng Qi held the Three Treasures Ruyi and spoke about the mystery of the endless chaos and the complexity and simplicity of the structure of time and space. This was his realization of the illusory Tao and fruit that he had condensed into the illusory Taoist fruit after years of hard work. He took every word of it seriously. Zhuji, the words came out, and for a moment, the surroundings were full of darkness, and golden lamps stood out out of thin air, like falling from the ceiling, making everything look like a dream.
The disciples of Yuxu who came to listen to the lecture were either intoxicated or thoughtful due to their different cultivation levels. The higher their realm, the more addicted they became.
Nezha relied on the legal body bred from the Chaos Green Lotus Seeds and his own talent to achieve his destiny. He was better at supernatural powers and fighting, and his understanding of the origin of Tao was relatively insufficient. With a smile on his face or an excited look on his face, he was a little puzzled. Although he had gained something from the master's uncle's story and was eager to try his own martial arts, how could he be so out of character?
At this moment, a golden lamp happened to fall from in front of His eyes. The light flickered, as if it contained the most mysterious, wonderful and subtle point. If you look closely, you will see that there are cause and effect, good and evil, before and after, The past and the future... It seems that all the truths and descriptions in the world are gathered here. The more I want to see clearly, the more endless it feels. In the end, there is an hallucination. The points become more and more connected. Lines, lines form planes, planes stack up to form the world, and then connect through time. The further it evolves, the more difficult it is to describe in words, and finally it converges into a point where all elements such as void and time are huddled together, just like they have always been. Nothing has changed…
Nezha looked at this scene and was deeply absorbed in it. He felt that the realms of legend, creation, and the other side were also completely included. He did not blink to avoid missing any details, and the thoughts in his mind ran on their own. I want to reproduce a similar evolution.
Suddenly, the golden lamp fell to the ground, extinguished and dissipated, and all the mystery and subtlety came to an abrupt end. Nezha couldn't help but stretched out his hand to grab it, but it fell into the empty space, and he suddenly felt lost in his heart.
He suddenly snapped out of his wits and came back to his senses from this state, shocked by his own gaffe:
"Am I as intoxicated as Master Guangcheng and the others?"
At this time, Meng Qi had stopped preaching, nodded slightly and said:
"Greeting too much leads to excess. That's all for today."
Without waiting for Guangchengzi, Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun and others to sigh with regret, he continued:
"Senior Sister Cihang."
Cihang? Guanyin? Guangchengzi and other golden immortals seemed to understand something, and they all looked at the immortal demon god!
The immortal demon god slowly stood up in the eyes of the third generation, fourth generation, fifth generation and other younger disciples who looked puzzled, and saluted with his hands raised:
"What are the instructions from the Headmaster Tianzun?"
He admits that he is the Taoist Cihang before becoming a god, and the Guanyin Bodhisattva who shines after becoming a god? Duke Huan of Qi was shocked but also felt that it was natural. After he escaped from Lingshan Mountain, why didn't he return to the Western Paradise and be trapped in Tianzhu Mountain?
Meng Qi said in a warm tone:
"The era is coming to an end, the doomsday is approaching, and all living beings are suffering, as if they were falling into the Nine Netherworld. Has Senior Sister Cihang ever forgotten her past wish to save those who are suffering?"
The Immortal Demon God was silent for a moment and solemnly said: "I will always keep this wish in mind."
Meng Qi, who was sitting on the lotus platform, nodded:
"Then let's go to the lower realms to help those in distress."
As he spoke, he casually pointed his finger, and bursts of black mist rose up from the body of the immortal demon god. It seemed like a strong will of death and a corrupted devilish energy. The two entangled to form an almost clear pattern, but they quickly spread and returned to the original nothingness.
As soon as the black mist dissipated, immeasurable golden light burst out from the body of the Immortal Demon God, and the sounds of chanting, praying, and praising echoed all around, making the Yuqing Palace somewhat pure and compassionate.
The golden light subsided, and the immortal demon god returned to his appearance as a great man in white. He saluted gratefully and solemnly:
"Receive the decree of the Supreme Lord."
He nodded to Guangchengzi and other fellow disciples again, turned around and walked out of Yuqing Palace, left Yuxu Palace, turned into a clear light, and went straight into the lower realm.
Guangchengzi looked at Guanyin's back and sighed softly: "It's not easy for him after so many years..."
…………
After receiving the decree and escaping from the Kunlun Realm, Taoist Cihang looked down at the current situation, and after a brief pause, he descended to Shuiyue'an Dojo in the Buddha's Kingdom on Earth.
——After the fall of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as the inheritance of the Bodhisattva of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, Shuiyue Temple was undoubtedly integrated into the Buddhist kingdom on earth.
In Shuiyue Nunnery, Ci Zhen, the current nunnery master, sat cross-legged in front of the pale gold statue of the Great Merciful and Compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva, banging the wooden fish. Adhering to the wishes of successive nunnery masters, she finally attained enlightenment in the past few years.
Tuk-tuk-tuk, a solemn and ethereal Zen singing sound suddenly sounded in Cizhen's ears, and a hint of fresh fragrance penetrated his nose.
Her heart moved, she opened her eyes and saw that the mutton-fat jade vase placed in front of the statue of Bodhisattva was glowing softly, and the willow branches with long leaves inside became more refreshing and transcendent.
Dots of glazed golden light fell out of thin air, and the pale golden statue of the Great Compassionate and Compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva suddenly lost its dullness and silence, became radiant with vitality, brightened its color, opened its eyes, showed compassion and compassion.
The master of the nunnery, Cizhen, already understood the current situation, clasped his hands together, and recited in a low voice:
"Namo's Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, my disciples respectfully welcome the arrival of the Patriarch."
Taoist Cihang said solemnly:
"In the end of the world, those who have compassion in their hearts must act in this world."
While he asked Cizhen to summon the disciples of Shuiyue Temple, he used the Ying Shen Dharma to manifest at the border between the Buddhist kingdom and the vacuum hometown on earth, so as to understand the suffering of all living beings and understand what he should do.
…………
Buddha temples can be seen everywhere on the border of the Buddhist Kingdom on the earth. The crops in the fields grow on their own, and there are bumper harvests every season. The people live and work in peace and contentment, always smiling. Everyone reads Buddhist scriptures, everyone is compassionate, and they practice diligently all the time. It is a better world. How can there be any misery in the scene of the Pure Land?
Taoist Cihang should recite Guanyin Bodhisattva's voice and appear as a beautiful bhikshuni in black robe, holding an alms bowl and knocking on the door of a house.
The courtyard door opened, and the owner was a middle-aged man in his forties. He said with a kind and peaceful smile on his face:
"Is this Master here to beg for alms?"
"Thank you for your help, layman." The bhikshuni transformed by Guanyin said gratefully.
The middle-aged man took the alms bowl, turned around and went inside. He filled up his meal and recited the Buddha's name along the way without slacking off at all.
Guanyin took the alms bowl, smiled and said, "How pious a layman is when he chants the Buddha's name."
"It's ridiculous," the middle-aged man said with a modest smile, "If I were really as pious as Master Tai said, I would have met Maitreya Buddha long ago, achieved fruition status, enjoyed bliss, and would no longer have to worry about birth, old age, illness, and death."
"Can you enjoy the ultimate happiness and achieve fruition by reciting the name of the Buddha sincerely?" The bhikshuni transformed by Guanyin frowned slightly, "Then how do you see the Tathagata in your heart and seek freedom in your nature, or should you replace yourself with Maitreya Buddha?"
The middle-aged man shook his head blankly: "I don't understand the Tathagata in the heart or the Tathagata in myself. I only know how to recite the Buddha's name sincerely."
Guanyin looked at him deeply, turned and left without saying anything.
…
His other body is dressed as an ordinary person and has arrived at the home of Vacuum. What he sees is very much the same as the Buddhist land on earth. The people have no worries about food and clothing. Everyone is peaceful and peaceful. However, there is a clear hierarchy among each other. They only devoutly believe in the Inanimate Mother.
Guanyin disguised herself as a merchant from the East China Sea, entered the inn, and found an excuse to chat with the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper is a kind-faced man who is full of kindness and humility. He is in his thirties, fair and fat, speaks elegantly, and is well-informed. However, any topic will always lead to the Supreme Mother's salvation.
"My mother pities all living beings and doesn't want me to be doomed, so she came here specially to save the world and turn the world into a vacuum hometown. Even if the sky collapses and the earth collapses, she can still live in her hometown forever..." the shopkeeper continued talking. .
Avalokitesvara pondered for a moment and said, "Rescuing people includes those in the north?"
After hearing this, the shopkeeper's eyes suddenly became fierce and he said in a hateful voice:
"It is because they believe in evil gods and accumulate tons of sins that the world will come to an end, and the only way to pay for it is death!"
His kind eyes, his kindness and humility were all twisted into ferociousness at this moment, giving people a hateful impression.
Guanyin listened quietly and sighed quietly.
At this time, the deity who was sitting in the main hall of Shuiyue Temple suddenly felt the changes in the energy between heaven and earth. He saw Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, Future Constellation Buddha, etc. descending on the boundary between the Buddhist kingdom on earth and the vacuum homeland.
"Has the peaceful coexistence of the Buddhist Kingdom on earth and the vacuum homeland come to an end for more than a hundred years?" Taoist Cihang sighed.
After the Golden Mother broke the alliance and the Headmaster Tianzun came to the other side, this peace has become more fragile than tissue paper, and it will not be surprising when it comes to an end!
Somewhere in Vacuum's hometown, there is a pure white Buddha, who looks at this scene with a solemn gaze.
