What is it like to be a saint?

Chapter 523 Burning Lamp Buddha's Entry into Extinction
"The pox was stolen..." The Jade Emperor looked at the memorial presented and couldn't help but touch his forehead.

"This is a big deal!"

"Quick pass on to all the saints!"

In just a split second, the Supreme Being of the Three Realms made a choice - throwing the pot away.

This should be the responsibility of the heavenly court, and leave it to the saints to deal with it.

"Your Majesty is holy!" Taibai Jinxing answered with a smile.

The Jade Emperor glanced at this confidant, smiled and said: "There is no need for the two sages in the West to pass it on!"

"Xiniu Hezhou Asura's catastrophe has reappeared, and people are dying, so don't bother the two saints!"

"Yes!" Chief Taibai Jin Xingji ordered.

"That's right!" The Jade Emperor suddenly stopped Taibai Jinxing, who was about to carry out the decree, and asked, "Aiqing, some time ago, I ordered the Dragon King of the Four Seas to invite the four Aiqings to ascend to heaven to discuss matters..."

"Why hasn't there been a replay yet?"

Taibai Jinxing was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Perhaps they are the four dragon kings, there is something to delay!"

The Jade Emperor chuckled and asked, "Really?"

"That should be the case!" Taibai Jinxing said softly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the loyalty of the four Dragon Kings to the Haotian Golden Tower is a lesson from heaven and earth!"

"Sooner or later there will be a replay!"

"It's best like this!" The Jade Emperor suppressed his anger and forced a smile.

When the figure of Taibai Jinxing disappeared in the palace, the complexion of the supreme being of the Three Realms suddenly changed: "How dare you treat me like a child!"

The Dragon King of the Four Seas is the most respected force in the Heavenly Court after he, the Lord of the Haotian Golden Tower, received the amulet of the Zixiao Palace.

However, now, he, the Jade Emperor, has repeatedly decreed that the Dragon King of the Four Seas select the "people of the way" and "those with promise" from the aquarium of the four seas to pay tribute to the heavenly court as the backbone of the Naianhe Navy.

Unexpectedly, all decrees went down without a word.

The Dragon King of the Four Seas seemed to have never seen or seen the decree of the Emperor of Heaven.

Hugh said that he supported it, so he didn't even write a letter to discuss it, or even oppose it.

If there is no problem in this, how could the Jade Emperor believe it?
This can only be a problem in one of the links.

But where exactly is the problem?

The Jade Emperor knew nothing about it.

"Rolling curtain!" The Jade Emperor calmed down and looked at the silent rolling curtain general: "Go and invite me to bring the canopy!"

General Rolling Blind bowed his head and led the way.

The thoughts in Jade Emperor Dao's mind had already overflowed.

"Even building a Tianhe navy is so difficult!"

"You don't even want to give me face!"

"The old dog still has a bit of a temper!"

"Do you really think I have no countermeasures?!"

"It's a big deal, before the Great Tribulation of the Yuan Dynasty, I will go to Zixiao Palace again..."

His hand tightly grasped the talisman that the Taoist ancestor of the Zixiao Palace personally granted him the title of 'Haotian Jinque Supreme Pardoning Sins'.

This edict allows him to always know the location of Zixiao Palace.

Coupled with his experience as a Taoist boy of the Zixiao Palace, he can enter it with a talisman when the Zixiao Palace is close to the Three Realms.

This is his trump card.

Only used it once so far.

Holding the talisman, the Jade Emperor's chest rose and fell a few times before calming down.

He is no longer the Jade Emperor before the Great Tribulation of Conferred Gods.

Crying about Zixiao Palace is definitely not the best policy.

As the Jade Emperor and the Supreme Being of the Three Realms, he cannot always rely on going to Zixiao Palace to file a complaint to maintain his authority.

Because the only possibility of doing that is - authority disintegration.

"I need to find an opportunity to have a serious talk with Master Jie!"

Don't ask for the support of Jiejiao, just ask for the acquiescence and acquiescence of Jiejiao.

Just like it is now, if you don't stop him, the emperor of heaven, from governing, just be willing to discuss things with him.

……

Western cattle Hezhou.

The billowing tide of blood gushed out from the cracks in the mountains, rivers and swamps.

The ancient clocks in one ancient temple after another began to chime.

Boom boom boom!
Like a war drum, the entire Xiniu Hezhou Thousands of Buddha Kingdoms seemed to come alive in an instant.

One Buddha treasure after another began to wake up.

The vajra, cassock, alms bowl, and Buddha bone relics, wrapped in endless Buddha light, began to slowly rise into the air amidst the reverent chanting of monks and believers, blooming milky white Buddha light, covering these temples and cities.

Above the sky, phantoms of golden bodhisattvas appeared one after another.

These bodhisattvas who practice meditation in the pure land, while chanting scriptures, display the supreme dharma, clean up and seal the gaps and passages in the sea of ​​blood that appear around their ashram.

But, in fact, when the bodhisattvas do this, it also means that the disaster of Asura in the sea of ​​blood is out of control.

Most of the strongholds and ashrams operated by the Western Sect in the Nine Nether Blood Sea have probably fallen.

The flames of war are burning from the Jiuyou Sea of ​​Blood to Xiniu Hezhou.

Sooner or later, the defenses of the Buddha Kingdom on Earth in Hezhou, Xiniu will be breached.

The Asura clan will emerge from the sea of ​​blood, causing an Asura disaster in the entire Xiniu Hezhou.

As the current Buddha, the golden body of the Burning Lamp Buddha is extremely huge.

He stands above the sky of Hezhou, Xiniu, infinitely merciful and infinitely holy.

24 The heavens are born and died in a cycle.

Like 24 Buddha lamps that illuminate the world and shelter the world.

In the brilliance of the Buddha lamp, even though the Asuras of the Nine Nether Blood Sea kept trying to hit the crack in Xiniu Hezhou.

However, very few succeed.

Even if there is, it will be instantly locked by the 24 heavens.

Then the Buddhist treasures enshrined in the nearby Buddhist temples were quickly suppressed!
……

Nine secluded sea of ​​blood.

Demon Buddha Bo Xun completely tore up the golden body of a Bodhisattva.

Then he raised his head and looked at the 24 heavens who were also blooming brightly above the sea of ​​blood to support the sea of ​​blood.

The devil's heart, which had been corroded and clean, jumped suddenly.

He knew that the time had come.

"Kill! Kill!"

"Fellow Lantern, this poor monk is here to send you to hell!"

As he said that, the demon Buddha stepped out and instantly locked on to the 24 heavens. Following the traces of cause and effect, he smashed the barrier between the Nine Nether Blood Sea and the Pure Land with one foot, and the spirit that appeared on Lingjiu Mountain In front of the Eagle Temple.

"Good! Good!" Sitting on the futon, the Burning Lamp Buddha was not surprised by the arrival of the Demon Buddha.

This is fate, but also the number of days.

He just sat with his eyes closed, and sang a revealing poem: "The most profound and subtle dharma is hard to encounter in a million kalpas. I can accept and uphold what I have seen and heard today, and I wish to understand the true meaning of the Tathagata!"

In the sound of singing promises, Buddha's golden body began to dim and lose color.

24 The heavens, like a lamp that has run out of fuel, are extinguished one by one.

Mofo Boxun knew this earlier, he stretched out his huge black palm, and slapped it on the head: "Fellow Daoists, let's go!"

The Burning Lamp Buddha neither hides nor evades, neither hinders nor obstructs.

On that skinny face, there was even an extremely happy smile: "Good! Good!"

"Thank you, the benefactor!"

He folded his palms together and recited scriptures: "So I heard... Incomparably strict, full of might and virtue! There are 32 signs and [-] kinds of virtues. On the first day of birth, all directions are bright, and the sun, moon, pearl and fire are useless!"

The giant palm fell, and the fire of ignorance rose up.

The golden body of the Buddha gradually melted in the flames.

All causes and effects, all evil obstacles, all kinds of darkness, will all be annihilated.

The Buddha was overjoyed, and praised his head: "All things are impermanent, it is the law of birth and death, birth and death destroy oneself, and death is joy!"

Calmly in the giant palm, towards nirvana and nirvana.

……

The sky in Hezhou, Xiniu was instantly dark.

The 24 ever-bright Buddha lamps were extinguished with a snap.

Between the sky and the earth, the raindrops kept falling.

"The Buddha has died!" Countless people cried, tears streaming down their faces.

And those who have the roots of wisdom, they cheered happily: "That's good! That's good!"

"Nanwu Randeng Ancient Buddha!"

"Na Wu Past Ding Guang Tathagata!"

The death of the Buddha is a great joy.

Because this means that Shakyamuni Buddha will now be born in Xiniu Hezhou to educate all living beings and promote Buddhism.

The sentient beings in Xiniu Hezhou should be happy and joyful.

Even now, Asura's invasion is imminent, even now, the life and death of common people in the world are imminent.

You should be happy, you should be happy.

Everything is impermanent, everything is empty, everything is still.

……

Pure Land World, Huayan Temple.

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, looking at the Demonic Buddha Bo Xun who appeared on the Vulture Mountain from afar, the Bodhisattva Jishou sighed: "Excellent! Exquisite!"

"Nanwu Randeng Ancient Buddha!"

"Na Wu Past Ding Guang Tathagata!"

The present Buddha's death is for the past Buddha.

Cause and effect are cleared, and karma is burned!
This is the Daoism of reversing the ambition!

With the art of proving the Tao with great wishes, he becomes the Western Buddha, and in the body of the Buddha, he inherits all causes and effects.

Then, in the calamity, follow the time of the sky, the number of days, and the general trend of the west, and use the hands of the demon Buddha to enter extinction.

Since then, all the past has disappeared, and all the future is unpredictable.

"As expected of Teacher Diengdeng!" Bodhisattva felt ashamed.

He knew that, probably a long time ago, even when he betrayed his family, Daoist Ran Deng had already calculated everything for today.

Judging from the fact that the two saints of the West did not intervene.

Taoist Ran Deng had already made a gentleman's agreement with the second sage before entering the West.

"Mr. Randeng has eliminated all the past..."

"Then the future of preaching and sanctification is probably already on the agenda!"

Unfortunately, such a technique is difficult to replicate.

At least Puxian knew that he couldn't copy it.

Because, the Second Saint of the West will not allow it.

It is also because the time and place borrowed by Taoist Randeng can hardly be replicated.

……

Bo Xun grabbed the relic that was left behind after the burning Buddha died, and immediately fled back to Jiuyou without hesitation.

This is the agreement he made with Ran Deng many years ago.

You nirvana nirvana, cut off cause and effect.

I got the relic, opened up the Great Freedom, and will be the enemy of the Buddha forever.

The two sages of the West can let Shakyamuni Buddha be born in the current situation, and then spread the Dharma and win people's hearts in the midst of hardship and suffering of all living beings.

This is a triple win!

But the opportunity for a win-win situation is fleeting.

The second sage may not just watch him as a demon Buddha, and he will become the master of the sky and become the ancestor of the demon Buddha.

……

Heaven, the Temple of Wealth.

Zhao Gongming opened his eyes and looked to the west.

The causal connection between the 24 Dinghai Shenzhu and him was suddenly disconnected, and then quickly reconnected.

This reconnection of cause and effect made him feel a sense of crisis.

"Mercy! Mercy!" Zhao Gongming said: "One drink and one peck, is it predetermined!"

"In the future catastrophe, Pindao will definitely do it with his fellow Taoists!"

"This time, it's life and death!"

He already knew from the causal induction that Taoist Ran Deng used some method he didn't know to kill all kinds of things in the past.

However, the more past Taoist Ran Deng cut, the deeper the cause and effect with him.

Because, the past that Daoist Randeng cut off was pinned on Zhao Gongming's natal Lingbao 24 Dinghai God Beads.

This means that the past that the Taoist burning lamp has cut has not been consummated.

Taoist Burning Lamp is still one step away.

This last step is Zhao Gongming!

The true owner of the 24 Dinghai God Beads!
……

In the depths of Vulture Mountain.

In the endless darkness and mist.

An ancient bronze coffin lay quietly in the darkness.

Suddenly, in front of the coffin, an ancient spiritual lamp slowly lit up.

In the light, the figure of Taoist Ran Deng slowly solidified.

"The patriarch is above, the disciple lights the lamp, and worships again!" Taoist Ran Deng opened his eyes, feeling the sense of complete joy in his own Taoist body, and he was extremely happy.

This last step has finally been successfully taken!

Before the catastrophe, he first annihilates himself!
Although he lost a good corpse he had beheaded, his realm fell from the pinnacle of quasi-sage.

Need to re-cultivate and re-cut the corpse.

In addition, the extinction of Western Buddhism is not the real emptiness.

Otherwise, the Second Saint of the West would not be so troubled.

Already through various laws, let oneself go into extinction, cut off all cause and effect, and complete the body of a saint.

There is no need to worry about the ambitions made in the past.

Death is just the beginning.

Next, you need to subtract to empty.

Let the lamp-burning Buddha truly become the ancient lamp-burning Buddha.

It also transfers its own cause and effect to the body of Shakyamuni Buddha who is about to be born.

Only past Buddhas truly become past Buddhas.

Everything about him is perfect.

The two sages of the West, who practice the method of subtraction and emptiness, are the third generation.

Both past, present and future, the trinity.

Thus allowing the sage to be completely separated from his ambition.

Let the ambition of the past become the cause and effect of the future.

This is the inhumane way of nature, and treats everything as a straw dog!
Tiandao doesn't care who bears the cause and effect, as long as someone pays the debt.

Thinking about these things, Taoist Ran Deng bowed again to the speechless bronze coffin.

Everything about him was bestowed by the owner of this bronze coffin.

Only after being enlightened by the ancestors did he realize the transformation.

Whether it was seeking the Tao in the past, or today's extinction and becoming empty, reversing the ambition to prove the Tao, they are all inspired by the patriarch buried in this coffin.

……

Tushitian, Bajing Palace.

Laojun Shengren shook his whisk and opened his eyes in a daze.

The sage pinched his fingers and sighed, "Mercy! Mercy!"

"Fellow Daoist Burning Lamp, it's finally a thing of the past!"

The sage pinched his fingers again, and everything became clear.

"So that's how it is!" Laojun bowed his head and said, "Fellow Daoist's calculations are really amazing!"

This matter was hidden from Laojun's eyes and ears, taking advantage of the ambiguity of karma and impermanence before the catastrophe, he decisively cut it off.

That's not the case, I'm afraid Laojun can't help but intervene one or two.

Other saints, it is impossible to say that they will take action to stop them.

Especially Jujiaotongtian, how can Ran Deng be able to cut off all the past in such a stable manner?
That Demon Buddha Bo Xun couldn't say, he couldn't even get out of the sea of ​​blood!
Now, it is too late.

Therefore, Laojun Shengren summoned his disciple Xuandu, and said to Xuandu: "You take my talisman and go to Lingjiu Mountain, the pure land in the west, to find the Taoist who burns the lamp, and congratulate him once or twice!"

Now that it is a foregone conclusion, the saint will not pursue it.

Taoist Ran Deng succeeded in his calculation, so he should congratulate him.

As far as the saint is concerned, no matter who the monks in the three realms are, if they can successfully take such a step, they should be congratulated.

"No!" Xuandu knew that the saint meant something.
