Preaching begins with Tai Chi

Chapter 300 At the foot of Wuliang Mountain, learning scriptures from the west

Li Mi returned to Tushita Palace, thinking deeply.

Sun Wukong, who was in the realm of the Da Luo Jinxian and mastered the two great skills of "Invisible Dream Butterfly" and "Opening the World", finally made the Tathagata pass away once, but he failed to force the Tathagata's limit.

Today's Li Mi, the genuine Pangu Dharma Body is stronger than the Immeasurable Golden Body, and his Taoism is higher than that of Sun Wukong. It can make the Tathagata pass away seven or eight times, but it does not affect the final result.

At this stage, he really can't beat Tathagata.

However, it is impossible for Tathagata to suppress him like he suppressed Sun Wukong. Li Mi, the non-phase dream butterfly, can be used countless times, not just once.

In this way, although there are highs and lows in Taoism, no one can do anything to anyone.

But overall, Tathagata definitely has the upper hand.

Such a "Taoist", such a Buddha, is more real.

All the quasi-sages in the world of conferred gods, Taoist Ran Deng, Lu Ya, and the Holy Mother of Jinling, etc., looking back now, are just stronger Daluo Jinxians, and their control over the Dao is far from the level of Daojun .

This is not to say that quasi-sages are not as good as Taoist monarchs, and saints are not as good as Taoist ancestors, but that the world of conferred gods is not as real as the world of Journey to the West.

But is Tathagata really the real Taoist realm?

Li Mi was suspicious.

Gods and Buddhas all over the sky in the Three Realms think that the Three Realms are the only world, and the Supreme Being is the ancestor who created the heavens and the earth, but they don't know that there are all heavens and ten thousand realms.

Is the world of Journey to the West real and the world is illusory, or is the world of Journey to the West real and the world of Journey to the West is illusory?
Li Mi naturally had his own answer in his heart.

It is precisely because of this that he has the possibility of fighting the Tathagata.

Otherwise, no matter how tyrannical the "Opening Heaven Good Fortune Art" was, and how powerful Pan Gu's Dharma Body was, it would be impossible for Li Mi to compete with the Taoist Lord who had reached a higher level.

The Tathagata is strong, but not so strong that it is hopeless.

The other emperors of Donghua, the Great Immortal of Zhenyuanzi, and the ancient Buddha of Randeng are naturally weaker than Tathagata.

In the more than 1000 years since he came to Journey to the West, Li Mi has been making arrangements on the surface, but in fact he has never let go of his practice.

When he became a Da Luo Jinxian, he mastered the 32 avenues, and now has expanded to [-] avenues.

Although they are only superficially imprinted, they are also very remarkable.

Before deciding which path to take in the end, Li Mi would not choose to attack the Taoist Lord, but to make himself more fraternal.

In this way, the future will be full of endless possibilities.

It is the most hopeful to reach the realm of Taoist ancestors.

The Dao of the Great Dream is the Dao that has been comprehended the most in these years. The virtual and the real change, there are forms and there are no forms. Coupled with the eight or nine profound arts, it can be said that the universe is so big that there is nowhere to go, and there is no forbidden place.

For the trial left by the Supreme Being this time, the best way is not to win with strength.

Even Tathagata may not be able to defeat, let alone the Buddhas of Lingshan Mountain?
The greatest victory is to make Buddhists lose trust in Buddhism and realize the fundamental truth of "Buddha is Tao".

The greatest hope given to Buddhism, but in the end this hope must be shattered, killing people and killing people, but that's all.

However, when the Buddhist scriptures finally arrived at Lingshan, they still had to resort to force. That was the ultimate battle, and Li Mi had to make preparations early.

……

When the gods and Buddhas in the sky were having fun at the Antian Conference, Monkey King was being punished at the foot of Wuliang Mountain.

This time, it was no longer Wuzhishan where a head could be exposed, but a terrifying prison built in the only extreme where the whole world was compressed to the extreme.

Endless claustrophobic darkness, endless oppression and contraction, boundless loneliness and indifference...

Even if he has already attained the Daluo Golden Immortal, the ordeal at the foot of Wuliang Mountain is too dangerous for Sun Wukong.

"World Honored One, Amitabha Buddha!" ​​Sun Wukong shouted with endless grief and indignation.

This battle is not a crime of war, and the gap between the two sides is too great.

He had just become a Daluo Jinxian, but bumped into the Tathagata who was already in the realm of a Taoist monarch, and was taken aback by the Buddha Kingdom in the opponent's palm, unable to escape at all.

At this moment, with a golden light, the sound of infinite meditation resounded in Monkey King's ears.

Tathagata wants to use the boundless Dharma to completely transform Sun Wukong, so that he can be transformed into the supreme Dharma protector of Buddhism.

Monkey King didn't want to hear it at all, but he couldn't stop the Dharma from pouring into his mind, and he wanted to thoroughly refine all the old mind and Taoism.

Fortunately, at this time, the preaching of Patriarch Bodhi, who had listened to it for thousands of years, also kept echoing.

On the one hand, there are Buddhist chanting, and on the other hand, the mysterious Taoism, like a never-ending symphony, which has been ringing in Monkey King's mind.

Almost in an instant, Monkey King was about to be driven crazy.

Even if one chooses to accept the Dao Dharma, one will be so noisy by the Dharma that one cannot enter meditation at all.

The only choice is to accept without reservation, whether it is Taoism or Buddhism.

After suffering for an unknown amount of time, Monkey King finally had to choose fellow practitioners of Buddhism and Taoism.

It wasn't until this time that he realized that his master seemed to have helped him lay the foundation for practicing Buddhism.

The Dharma in the Buddha's Chanting is so magnificent and compassionate, but the Dharma taught by the master is so utilitarian and helpless.

Today's Monkey King is no longer as innocent and innocent as when he was born, he has started to think of his own.

So I don't know if 100 years or 200 years have passed, Sun Wukong has completely gotten used to the Buddhist and Taoist sounds, and he can still reflect on his short career as an official in the heaven.

With his combat power, he is indeed the peak of the Heavenly Court, but he has never been respected by the gods.

At the beginning, Wu Qu Xingjun asked himself to be a Bi Mawen, even if he defeated Wu Qu Xingjun, the Jade Emperor insisted on surrendering his brother himself, and finally became the Monkey King, but the Pantao Conference refused to invite him.

Why?

It is contempt, natural look down on.

One mouthful of hozen, one mouthful of monstrous monkeys, in their eyes, they are nothing, no matter how good their skills are, no matter how powerful they are, they will not be respected.

Only by knocking them all down to the ground and stepping on another foot can they lower their proud heads and start to respect themselves.

Therefore, Sun Wukong did not regret this time he made a big disturbance in the Heavenly Palace, nor would he choose to reflect.

The only regret is that the time of practice is too short, and it is impossible to be truly invincible in the three realms.

That Tathagata old man, passed away once, but can be resurrected easily, even if he is killed a thousand times, he may not be able to really kill him. Such an enemy is indeed very terrifying.

How does Tathagata compare with Master?
It wasn't until this time that Monkey King suddenly realized that his master was also so unpredictable.

The sky is full of gods and Buddhas, and there may not be many who can compare with the master.

How could such a great power be unknown?

When the heavenly court was making friends, there were gods and Buddhas all over the sky, but no one knew what "Bodhi Patriarch" was.

It is impossible for the master to jump out of a rock like himself, so he must have a background.

Moreover, in the entire Fangcun Mountain, except for myself, no senior brother has received the true biography and can practice the "Great Grade Heavenly Immortal Art".

The exercises they practice are just ordinary mortal methods. Once they become immortals, they are considered to be masters and must go down the mountain.

So who is the real identity of Master?
And Taishang Laojun, why wasn't he in Tushita Palace when he stole the elixir?

Why did the Bagua Furnace last for 49 days, but in the end it helped me to prove the Daluo Jinxian fruit status?

There is too much fog, Sun Wukong can't see clearly at all, but he knows that he is not completely helpless.

Although the master never allowed himself to reveal his mastery, Monkey King knew that he had a backer.

No matter how tyrannical the Tathagata is, he may not be able to take advantage of his master!
Thinking of this, Sun Wukong's lonely and cold heart finally felt a little warm. After a long time, there seemed to be hope, not just a cage with no end in sight.

Just when Monkey King was crushed under Wuliang Mountain, the Western Lingshan, the Obon Festival.

The news that Buddhism will also preside over the next catastrophe has been thoroughly spread, and Buddhism will no longer be limited to Xiniu Hezhou, but spread throughout the entire Nanfangbuzhou.

Nanfangbuzhou is far more prosperous than Xiniuhezhou, and its population is also far larger. Once Buddhism becomes the mainstream in Nanfangbuzhou, it will inevitably breed more Buddha status.

Therefore, the next catastrophe is the key to the great prosperity of Buddhism, and the role of the Buddhist scriptures is even more important.

Once the catastrophe is over, the person who learns the scriptures will surely become a Buddha.

Although there are already dozens of Buddhas in Lingshan, no one wants to become a Buddha.

Therefore, the Tathagata announced at the right time that on this Obon Festival, a debate on Buddhism will be held, and the winner in the end will be the person who learns the scriptures.

On the way of great ambition, there are practitioners everywhere on the Lingshan Mountain, each of them speaks clearly and clearly, and has a lot of experience.

However, when it comes to Buddhism as a whole, it is too grand, and it does not help much in practice.

Therefore, although I can basically memorize it, I can't form my own thoughts, let alone go further on the basis of the original scriptures.

But Jin Chanzi completely radiated light, not only convinced all the Arhat Bodhisattvas, but also argued several Buddhas to the point where they couldn't speak.

Jin Chanzi has passed through the dream yellow beam pillow and has been reincarnated [-] times in a row. Now he is no longer just a monk on the ivory tower, but a virtuous scholar who has gone through all kinds of hardships and tests.

Although there are more and more doubts about Buddhism in my heart, my understanding of Buddhism is getting deeper and deeper, and I even gradually formed my own thoughts.

All kinds of insights made the Dharma he taught so fresh, but also so touching, so he won the debate on the Obon Festival without any suspense.

"Jin Chanzi, you will be the person who learns the scriptures, and the burden of the great prosperity of Buddhism will be on your shoulders!"

Tathagata looked at his second disciple with relief. Jin Chanzi had washed away the lead and returned to the original. When it comes to Buddhist attainments, he has surpassed many Buddhas.

And Dao Xing also grew rapidly to the late Golden Immortal stage.

This means that once the catastrophe is successful and the Buddha is granted, it is expected to go one step further in the future and become the Buddha.

The so-called future Buddha, Tathagata would rather give it to Jin Chanzi than to Maitreya.

With Jin Chanzi, the future Buddha, and Sun Wukong, the Buddhist protector, why worry that Buddhism cannot flourish?
Tathagata smiled brightly, and all the Buddhas in Lingshan also smiled happily.

Faced with the imminent prosperity of Buddhism, the entire Lingshan Mountain is united and united as one.

Tathagata has already decided on the name of this catastrophe—Xilian Sutra.

It takes ninety-nine and eighty-one hardships along the way to learn the scriptures from the west, so that ordinary people can know the sacredness of Lingshan and the compassion of Buddhism.

The chief director of "Learning from the Western Paradise" is already in place, that is, Guanyin Bodhisattva, and the male protagonists Jin Chanzi and Monkey King are also in place.

In the great calamity, although there are killings and calamities, there are also merits and virtues.

The great prosperity of Buddhism will inevitably offend the Dao Sect. Although this time he has won a great favor from the Jade Emperor, he must try his best to resolve the hostility of the Dao Sect.

Therefore, in the midst of 81 hardships, some must be reserved for the heavenly court and the Taoist sect to amass merit.

And on the way to learn scriptures, you can't just learn scriptures and Dharma protectors, but you can also have multiple supporting actors or even secondary roles.

"Buddhism is going to set off a catastrophe? Go to the west to learn from the scriptures?" On the newly completed Lingxiao Palace, which is more magnificent and magnificent, the Jade Emperor fell into deep thought.

Sure enough, it was time for the Tathagata to take back the favor.

In terms of emotion and reason, the Jade Emperor could not stop him.

Anyway, the Buddhism is booming, and the Taoist is unlucky, and it has little influence on him, the Heavenly Emperor.

The Heavenly Court is the center of the entire Three Realms. Regardless of Buddhism or Taoism, as long as one wants to obtain the merits of the Heavenly Court, one needs to go to the Heavenly Court to join the job, and cannot start a new one.

In the past, the Heavenly Court was almost the private land of the Taoist sect. Many immortals and gods basically listened to the tune and did not listen to the announcement.

Otherwise, why let a monster monkey crush Ling Xiao and embarrass him greatly?

If it is said that the great prosperity of Buddhism is that many bodhisattvas and Buddhas entered the heavenly court to replace Taoism, it is also an excellent balance for the Jade Emperor.

Even if Buddhism is powerful and overwhelms Taoism, it will be a big deal to balance in the future. Anyway, in this calamity, cooperating with Buddhism should be the best choice.

Thinking of this, the Jade Emperor has already made a decision, so it is natural to get a share of the Western Paradise.

This is what he deserves as an emperor.

After a little thought, he chose Marshal Tianpeng and General Rolling Curtain. They were both close to the Jade Emperor, but they didn't have much ability. Their only advantage was loyalty.

With these two people joining the scripture learning team, they will naturally share the merits of learning scriptures. Although they are only small, they are still very impressive.

Once the Jade Emperor passes, there will naturally be no shortage of people to share the benefits of the 81 difficulties.

But not everyone is qualified, at least it needs to be of the Da Luo Jinxian series, otherwise it is not worthy at all.

Daluo of the Daoist sect is not as cheap as the Buddha. All of them added up are not as many as the Buddha. They are all powerful in the Three Realms.

"Oh, the Tathagata came to pay a visit?" In Tushita Palace, Li Mi waited until the Tathagata came: "Please hurry up."

"The poor monk has seen the Supreme Master!" The Tathagata came in person and bowed to Li Mi.

Even at the current level, the vaguely number one power in the Three Realms, Tathagata still can't see through the Supreme Being, let alone the possibility of opening up the world.

But on the stick that Sun Wukong beat him to death, there was a faint shadow of the Supreme Being.

This made Tathagata have to guard against, 81 difficulties, no matter what, he had to arrange a few opportunities for the Taishang to earn merits. Although the Taishang didn't care, this was the rule.

Anyone in the Buddhist sect can offend anyone, except Taishang.

After all, speaking of it, even he, the Buddha, was the result of Taishang's "turning Hu into a Buddha", and Taishang was also his teacher.

It is also true that the Supreme Being has always been impartial between Buddhism and Taoism. Otherwise, even if he was settled in Xiniu Hezhou, Buddhism would have been trampled down by the great power of Taoism at the beginning.
