Chapter 1321 Welcome to our Three Realms!
"It's still not right..."

"Why is the Tripitaka so powerful?"

Looking at the situation in the sealed land, Li Yan explained some of his doubts, but more puzzles arose.

The Tripitaka is not only a Buddhist scripture, but also a general outline of Buddhism, and it is even used as an encyclopedia.

All the astronomy, geography, characters, birds and beasts, flowers and trees, utensils, and personnel affairs of the four major continents of the world are included.

From the root of identifying the six-eared macaque, it is true that the Tathagata Buddha's insight is far superior to that of other gods and Buddhas, and it is not a lie.

Under such circumstances, the Tripitaka can indeed invigorate the spirituality of all magic tools, and even give birth to the spirits of the earth, mountains and rivers, plants, flowers and insects, but it is somewhat unreasonable to say how clever the power of fighting skills is, let alone plotting against the Buddha ...

"Something that I don't know must have happened during the period, first exit the seal, and then ask Guanyin... huh?"

Just as Li Yan found out the identity of the other party and was about to withdraw, he found an invisible force that cut off the retreat silently.

"This sealed place has indeed become the opponent's territory. It is difficult to get in, but difficult to get out."

Li Yan had been mentally prepared for a long time, so he turned around unexpectedly, and saw a monk standing behind him.

This monk is not like the Buddha with a broad forehead and straight shoulders, ears hanging shoulders, and eyes full of compassion, nor is he like Xuanzang, whose face is like a full moon and body like Bodhi. On the contrary, his appearance is ordinary and his body is slightly thin. Mortal monks who practice asceticism for alms are like dusty monks.

At this time, his eyes were fixed on him, and he put his palms together: "The poor monk has seen the benefactor!"

The other party didn't do anything directly, Li Yan was also willing to talk: "I don't know how to call the master?"

The monk said: "If you don't dare to call yourself a master, call the poor monk Tripitaka."

Li Yan could still cooperate if he changed his name, but since the other party claimed to be Sanzang, there was no need to go round and round: "If you can't be called a master, then who in Buddhism can be called this?"

Sanzang said earnestly: "There are indeed very few."

Li Yan became interested: "In the eyes of Your Excellency, who can call it?"

Sanzang smiled and asked, "What does the benefactor think?"

Li Yandao: "Naturally, there are many, not to mention the Lingshan Buddha and Bodhisattva, the Venerable Arhats, are ordinary people, such as Faxian, Kumarajiva, Dharma, Hui Neng, Bukong, and Truth, all of which guide the world, enlighten the truth, and comprehend the Dharma. monk."

Sanzang shook his head slightly: "However, in the eyes of the poor monk, such monks are not worthy of praise!"

Li Yan was really curious, and wanted to hear what kind of existence these eminent monks who translated scriptures, annotated scriptures, and preached Buddhism from the perspective of the Tripitaka: "Why?"

Sanzang said: "The almsgiver has heard that what the Buddha said about the Dharma is not the Dharma, but the Dharma?"

Li Yandao: "This statement comes from the "Diamond Sutra". According to my understanding, it is to tell the world that the Buddhadharma they have come into contact with is not the Buddhadharma itself, but the existence of the Buddhadharma. The "Diamond Sutra" is to guide the world. Breaking the self-attachment, a classic without a name."

Sanzang nodded slightly: "Of course, then, have these eminent monks in the heart of the benefactor ever achieved this?"

Li Yan said cautiously: "It depends on how to compare. Compared with the world, these eminent monks have certainly achieved it. Confucianist Confucius has a saying, "Ancient scholars are their own, and today's scholars are human beings." They study Buddhism intensively, It is not for the approval of others, but to agree with the philosophy of Buddhism from the heart, to achieve oneself first, and then to benefit others, how can you not be called a master?"

Sanzang continued: "But compared with the poor monks, these mortal monks have exhausted their life's efforts, after all, they are not as vast as the Buddha Dharma, and they are also unable to practice it and save the world."

Li Yan disagreed: "This is unreasonable. Your Excellency is the Buddhist scripture itself. How do they compare with it?"

Sanzang sighed softly: "It's not that the poor monk is delusional. If the Dharma is just the Dharma, the Buddha will be meaningless..."

Li Yan pondered for a while, and roughly understood the meaning of the other party: "In your opinion, what should the Buddhas in Lingshan be?"

Sanzang said: "If you want to be Buddhas, dragons, and elephants, you must first be cattle and horses. The Buddhas of Lingshan only know how to enjoy the ultimate bliss in peace, but they can't save the common people. That's nothing!"

Li Yandao: "Can't Tathagata Buddha?"

Sanzang's voice sank: "It's especially deceitful!"

There are not many opportunities to listen to Tathagata's Buddhist scriptures and scold Tathagata. Li Yan is very willing to find out: "I would like to hear the details!"

Sanzang said: "Because the sky is high and the land is thick, things are abundant and people are dense, there are many greedy and murderous people, many adulterers and deceitful people, many deceitful and deceitful people, do not follow Buddhism, do not seek good fortune, do not respect the Three Lights, do not value five grains, do not respect Loyalty or filial piety, injustice or benevolence..."

"All living beings have committed endless crimes, and their sins are full of evil, resulting in the disaster of hell, so they will fall into the netherworld forever..."

"Although Confucius established the teaching of benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom, and the emperors successively punished those who were punished by strangling and beheading, it is like ignorant and ignorant people who indulge unscrupulous people..."

After listening to the beginning, Li Yan knew that it was Tathagata's comment on the Tang Dynasty in Nanfangbuzhou.

Before learning the scriptures, Tathagata commented on the four continents, and his comments on the people in the southern Buzhou were very brief and sharp, "Greedy and happy, more killing and more fighting, talking and talking, and a sea of ​​right and wrong", when the learning team arrived at Lingshan, they detailed The description is roughly what was said above.

Anyway, in a word, if the scriptures cannot be spread in the East, then the East will be finished.

But now the scriptures themselves question: "However, when I arrived in the East, the country was prosperous and the people were peaceful, and the world was peaceful. After I arrived in the East, the world was in chaos, and the people were in dire straits!"

The void trembled, and scenes and scenes emerged staggeredly, and what emerged inside was the scene of the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty...

The mountains and rivers are broken, soldiers are everywhere, the people are displaced, and the people of the world are robbed!
In such troubled times, the perspective turns to the Da Ci'en Temple.

In the Sutra Pavilion, in the scriptures that no one cares about anymore, a weak spirituality raised a question.

Why can't I persuade people to be kind?
Why can't I save these wronged dead souls?
Why did the world get worse when I traveled east to this point?
Li Yan was silent.

There is no doubt that the Anshi Rebellion has little to do with Buddhism. Similarly, no matter how many scriptures are retrieved, it is impossible to make the world peaceful and the world a pure land.

Even Tathagata's evaluation of the four major continents is certainly biased, but passing the scriptures to the east is indeed beneficial to the background set by this god and Buddha.

But the Tripitaka does not think so.

it really does...

Do not seek happiness for yourself, but hope that all beings will be free from suffering!
This is the pursuit of Buddhism.

This is the great wish of the Buddhist scriptures.

It is also the meaning of the Buddhist scriptures!
In view of this, Li Yan also understood the other party's purpose: "Your Excellency replaced the Buddha to complete what the Buddha once said but failed to do?"

Sanzang clasped his hands together: "For example, if a lamp enters a dark room, it will be completely destroyed after hundreds of years of darkness..."

All the monks chanted together: "Entering all living beings, all afflictions, all kinds of dark obstacles, can all be eliminated!"

Faced with this great and sincere ambition, Li Yan sighed: "At that time, if I call you a master, I think you will not be humble, but at that time, it may never come... just like the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva There is a great wish, the hell is not empty, vowing not to become a Buddha, it is a compassionate heart that saves wronged souls, but hell cannot be empty after all..."

Sanzang's face remained unchanged: "The world asks, how can others understand the pain of my being burned by the fire in hell? There is a King of Dizang who goes to hell, suffers the fire together, and vows to save all sentient beings, so as to realize Bodhi;"

"The world asks, the world is impermanent, resentment and hatred meet, love parting, how to be saved? There are thousands of Guanyin incarnations, as teachers, as relatives and friends, as passers-by, to save suffering and distress;"

"The world asks, practice is not easy, where is the Buddha? There is Samantabhadra walking with a stick, searching up and down, and after going through all kinds of difficulties, he will tell the world that there is a refuge in his heart, and there is nowhere is not a spiritual mountain;"

"The world asks, the Buddha has supreme wisdom, how can we ordinary people understand it? With the guidance of Manjushri, all living beings and all things can be teachers, and every flower and leaf is Bodhi..."

Li Yan was slightly startled at first, then his expression changed slightly.

These words were first returned from the East China Sea. When evaluating the four great bodhisattvas, Xiaobailong said, taking the four great bodhisattvas as an example, Buddhism’s persuasion of goodness is not a high-level preaching, but listening to the suffering of all beings and guiding people in their own shoes.

This is undoubtedly correct, but now combining all kinds of things and hearing it again, it makes people feel different.

Combined with the passage of time in the old world and the heavenly world, it is gradually unified with the human world, and it needs to be downgraded...

Originally, Li Yan thought that it was a symbol of the Spirit Race's intention to conquer the Three Realms and seize the ruling power, but at this moment he realized that perhaps the opponent's goal was not so superficial: "Your Excellency wants to demote the gods to mortals, let them put themselves in their shoes, Solve the disaster of the world?"

Sanzang clasped his hands together: "Of course!"

Not to mention whether it is realistic or not, Li Yan really admires this point alone: ​​"It is no wonder that since the heaven and earth changed, except for the disappearance of the gods, the influence of the human world is relatively the least. , and also protect the old world from disasters, no matter what, this is a compassionate heart!"

Sanzang did not take credit for it: "I dare not be praised by the benefactor. The dispute in the New Territories was not what I wanted, and it was a mistake. I was banned here..."

"Forbidden?"

Li Yan thought of the light and shadow of the Buddha he had seen before, and was reluctantly suppressed by the four gods and Buddhas: "Your Excellency is the one who always holds the initiative. After the ancestors of the three religions have all died down, there should be no more suspense in the situation of the Three Realms. One point, I always wonder..."

Sanzang said, "Please tell me!"

Li Yandao: "Your Excellency practiced what the Buddhist scriptures said, had this great wish, and created all the spirits to assist it. It is fair and upright. Why do you pretend to be the name of the 'ancestor'?"

Hearing "the first ancestor", Sanzang's expression suddenly changed, and he said seriously: "The poor monk is not lying, the power of the poor monk does come from the first ancestor, the spirituality with the power to open up the world!"

"Oh?"

Li Yan immediately said: "So, you still have strength behind you?"

What he really doesn't understand is why the Tripitaka, as a Buddhist scripture, has the powerful power to turn back the guest and drive the Tathagata and Buddhas to extinction after the birth of spirituality.

This has nothing to do with the other party's ambitions. No matter how noble the ideal is, it is useless if it does not have the strength to match it. The Tripitaka should not have this power, even if it used to be the core of the Western Paradise. The three parties jointly contributed to a grand event.

I didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to disclose.

This may be because the Buddhist scriptures do not lie, or the other party is too strong to bother to tell lies, so he is frank, but no matter what, Li Yan must listen carefully.

But Sanzang, who was very cheerful just now, paused, as if he was contemplating how to speak, and finally gave up the description, and unfolded a ray of light: "Please benefactor, come in and take a look, all the causes and consequences are fully known."

Li Yan took a deep breath: "Okay!"

Although the instigator of the changes in the world is different from what he imagined, but Li Yan has never forgotten the feat of forcing the ancestors of the three religions to be silent. If he wants to know the truth, he must seize the opportunity.

Stepping into the radiance, Li Yan's mind was in a trance for a moment, and he was already immersed in the other party's perspective.

Entering Sanzang's perspective again, the cruel picture of the Anshi Rebellion gradually disappeared, leaving behind a lonely and self-contained spirituality.

Because it is powerless to change everything around it.

Emptiness is the scripture of self-cultivation and the door of righteousness, but it can't do anything.

After being sad for an unknown amount of time, Sanzang was suddenly as blessed as his soul, and with his unique senses, he looked at the boundless void beyond the Three Realms.

Just at that time, a meteor came from a distant place, and a sleeping soul was wrapped in it.

That part of the soul is very special, and it seems that it can also be attributed to the existence of spirituality.

Same race?

Sanzang, who was still ignorant of himself, became excited, and tried his best to find out a little bit of strength to make secret contact with the same kind he had seen.

close!

Closer!
Finally, it found three volumes of heavenly scriptures to defend the spirit.

In the heavenly book, there is a mighty power to open up the world, and it seems to be able to create a world.

And in the soul, there is a familiar Buddhist atmosphere.

That is the idea of ​​​​two sects, and it is possible to visualize the Fighting Victory Buddha and the Zhantan Gongde Buddha...

It is just that these two Buddhas are the most familiar existences who brought Tripitaka to the Middle Earth.

"On this day, you fell from the sky..."

"I looked up and jumped out of the Three Realms, not in the Five Elements..."

"You are the pioneering spirit."

"You are a blessing from the universe."

"You have a destiny with Buddha...you have a destiny with me!"

Sanzang sighed and praised.

Absorb the great power of the heavenly scriptures from other worlds into the body.

Heaven's Involvement Fa Yizang;
The Involvement of the Earth on Yizang;
Human Involvement Sutra Yizang;
What makes it feel ecstatic is that it finally has the power to change all the injustices in the world as it wishes;
What makes it feel guilty is that because the power of the book of heaven has been absorbed by itself, it is no longer perfectly integrated with the soul, so that it is difficult for this fellow from another world to wake up smoothly...

It was not until nearly a thousand years later that it was entrusted to a doctor to gradually regain the power of the heavenly book.

Li Yan pulled away from the opponent's perspective and slowly opened his eyes.

The sealed place has already calmed down. The fifteen thousand and fourteen monks all stopped to chant scriptures and smiled together. It was a sincere joy:
"With the gift of the day, the poor monk has the power to truly practice Buddhism, and thousands of spirit races will be born later!"

"The benefactor of the poor monk is also the ancestor of the spirit race!"

"After a long wait, the poor monk finally looked forward to the arrival of the benefactor and the awakening of the ancestor!"

"Welcome...to our Three Realms!"
