The history of the struggle of the God of the Stove

Chapter 395 Establishing a Buddhist Dharma Body

Burning a lamp to prove the Tao and becoming a quasi-sage caused a sensation in the Three Realms.

Especially those powerful people who have stayed in the Daluo Jinxian realm for a long time, seeing the burning lamp to prove the Tao at this moment, they have mixed feelings in their hearts.

In the past, many great powers were not used to the behavior of burning lamps. They felt that he was timid and fearful, and it was fine to go to Chanjiao and take shelter under the seat of Yuanshi Tianzun, but he immediately betrayed Chan The teaching switched to Western teaching.

The key point is that he is not alone, he even abducted the Digital Golden Immortal of Chanjiao and some of the following disciples, which makes people feel a little contemptuous of him.

However, I have to say that although this old guy is a bit unscrupulous, his desire to seek the Tao has never changed, which is why he has the opportunity to prove the Tao now.

Of course, even if those great powers are full of envy for Ran Deng's further advancement in Taoism, it is absolutely impossible for them to act like Ran Deng.

There is only one Ran Deng in the Three Realms who can do that kind of thing. For the sake of his own practice, he will not hesitate to betray. This kind of thing cannot be done by other great powers. After all, they still want face.

On Lingshan, Ran Deng slowly opened his eyes, with an expression of infinite joy, revealing a bit of helplessness.

Being able to cross the bottleneck and step into the ranks of quasi-sages, Ran Deng was naturally extremely happy in his heart.

However, he is definitely the weakest among all quasi-sages at present.

Even the Dao that he himself has proved is not perfect.

Because of the lack of 24 sea-fixing beads, he could not evolve into the heavens, so his way was lacking.

It’s just that Dinghai Shenzhu has been taken to Tianwaitian by Zhao Gongming. No matter how much Ran Deng misses him, he dare not go to Shangqing Yuyutian to snatch the treasure from Zhao Gongming in front of the leader of Tongtian.

But it's not impossible to make up for it. Randeng can also use other spirit treasures to evolve the heavens, but it's not as suitable as the set of Dinghaizhu.

Moreover, the treasures that can be used to evolve the heavens must at least be innate spirit treasures.

But where does he have any innate spiritual treasure now!
In the first battle of Xiqi, the Zhao Gongming brothers and sisters not only took Dinghaizhu back from him, but even the Qiankun Ruler and coffin lamp were taken from him.

Ran Deng can now be said to be the poorest of all powers.

Fortunately, he has now switched to Western exercises, otherwise, if he still practiced according to the Taoist method of beheading the three corpses, after proving the Taoist quasi-sage, he would not even have an innate spiritual treasure that can entrust the three corpses, then it would be a joke.

After he stabilized his realm, he came to the Lingshan Great Hall.

Everyone on and off Lingshan Mountain has been waiting for him for a long time.

After all, the matter of burning lamps to prove the quasi-sage is definitely the most important thing for Western religions now.

With him, the quasi-sage, sitting in charge, the hearts of the Western Church will be much more at ease.

Not long after, news spread from the Three Realms.

Under the auspices of Ran Deng, the Western religion officially changed its name to Buddhism, respecting the leading Taoist as Amitabha, and the quasi-suggesting Taoist as the Buddha's mother.

Ran Deng claimed to be the Buddha, and then granted many Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, etc. fruit status.

Among them, Buddhas include Medicine Master Liuliguangwang Buddha, Maitreya Buddha in the future, Fearful Sun Buddha, Dingguang Huanxi Buddha and so on.

Among the many Bodhisattvas, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, and Manjusri Bodhisattva are the most important.

In addition, there are also disciples of the Sanqianjie sect who were led to the west by Zhunti Ershengdu, who were conferred the title of Sanqian Jiedi Great Bodhisattva by the burning lamp.

At least the name is nicer, giving them a higher status and saving them from causing trouble.

Then, among the original disciples of the Western religion, [-] people with relatively advanced Taoism were selected, and they were named [-] Arhats.

In addition, there are eight dragon protectors.

However, most of the positions of the eight protectors are now vacant, and Buddhism has just taken the step of prosperity, and it is still early from its heyday.

With the burning of lamps to proclaim the Tao and claiming to be the Buddha, Buddhism also began a formal expansion.

They first spread the Dharma among the original believers, which was relatively smooth. After all, Buddhism was originally created by adhering to Western teachings, but it just re-improved the teachings and incorporated many other concepts.

On the basis of the original emphasis on self-crossing and detachment from reincarnation, the concept of karma and good rewards and persuading people to be good was added, and the original believers soon accepted the belief.

Subsequently, the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, etc. of these Buddhist schools began to teach Buddhism on a large scale in Hezhou, Xiniu.

After all, the whole Xiniu Hezhou is much larger than their original territory of Western religion.

There may also be reasons why the Taoist ancestor deliberately did this. Anyway, when the heavenly court divided the flood into four continents, it classified a large area as the area of ​​Xiniu Hezhou.

And Xiniu Hezhou is the origin of the prosperity of Buddhism, and naturally these Buddhist disciples would not refuse to eat such a large piece of fat.

As for the eastward spread of Buddhism, let's wait until they digest the territory of Xiniu Hezhou.

However, although the Heavenly Court assigned these areas to Xiniu Hezhou, it was only a general division. It does not mean that all these areas belong to Buddhism.

In fact, many famous mountains and great rivers in Xiniu Hezhou are owned by the owner, and there are even many powerful people who practice here. Even with the influence of Buddhism, they dare not provoke them easily.

For example, the Great Immortal of Zhenyuan in Wuzhuang Temple of Wanshou Mountain.

For example, the Bodhi ancestor in the oblique moon and three-star cave in Fangcun Mountain of Lingtai.

Not only did these two listen to the preaching of the ancestor Hongjun in Zixiao Palace like Ran Deng, but even their time to prove the quasi-sage was much earlier than Ran Deng.

With Ran Deng's current strength, especially if he doesn't have any Xiantian Lingbao on him, he absolutely dare not fight with those two, or he will definitely suffer a loss.

In addition to these two quasi-sages, there are also many powerful people with profound Taoism, and their dojos are also divided into Xiniu Hezhou.

For example, the White Fox King of Jilei Mountain is an old fox who has practiced for tens of thousands of years. He has profound morals and a separate regime. There are many existences like this.

That's all for these monster clans, many of them were lucky enough to survive the catastrophe of the ancient liches, most of them were cultivating in their respective caves, and they rarely went out.

Even if there are some demon kings who are unwilling to be lonely, they will only gather some demon clans, dominate them, and be at ease, and will not have any moral disputes with Buddhism.

However, some other great abilities that open the gate to accept and teach disciples are regarded as thorns in the flesh by Buddhism.

Therefore, the Buddhist sect took advantage of the large number of people to suppress those powerful dojos openly and secretly, or sent people to spread Buddhism near their respective mountain gates and compete for believers.

Of course, there are also a few Buddhist sects who can't afford to offend them, and they will keep their distance.

Among them is the Bodhi Patriarch of Fangcun Mountain in Lingtai.

This old ancestor had many disciples, and there were not a few who became immortals and attained the Tao, but most of them followed him and seldom went out.

Moreover, Patriarch Bodhi had some friendship with the two saints of the Western religion in the early years, and it was not easy to offend them in view of their past relationship.

What's more, some dare not offend.

So we can only let it go and let it go.

Fortunately, Patriarch Bodhi only accepts disciples to preach near Fangcun Mountain, and has no move to expand the territory.

Moreover, this ancestor is low-key, like a sage who lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests. Not only does he not easily go out, even his disciples don't go out very often.

Since this is the case, the Buddhist sect will ignore the ancestor of Fangcunshan, and just avoid the surrounding area of ​​Fangcunshan when preaching.

In such a big Xiniu Hezhou, there are still more places that have not received the influence of Buddhism, so why bother to fight with these great powers!
As Buddhism spread Buddhism widely, and Xiniu Hezhou did not have a sect as large as Taoism to compete with them for believers, so Buddhism has developed rapidly in Xiniu Hezhou.

It's just that Xiniu Hezhou is currently sparsely populated, and the population is not too large. It will take time to accumulate if it wants to truly prosper.

Among the four golden immortals who followed Ran Deng to the Western religion, Fear Liusun, who had the highest Taoism, was not seriously injured during the Great Tribulation, and was directly conferred the title of Buddha by Ran Deng.

Puxian, Cihang, and Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun, after turning to Buddhism, re-cultivated with the method of reincarnation and reincarnation, and at the same time borrowed from the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, they cultivated in just a hundred years. I have a dharmakaya.

The Dharma body of Buddhism is similar to the incarnation outside the body of Taoism, but it does not need so many treasures of heaven and earth to be refined like Taoism, but is refined based on its own mana and primordial spirit.

It's just that if you rely on yourself to refine it, it will take too much time and energy, so the second sage of the West later created a method to absorb the power of incense to speed up the practice of the Dharma Body.

Once these dharma bodies are successfully cultivated, their strength is extremely powerful, and they can exert the strength of Manjusri and Samantabhadra's original realm of Taoism.

However, the image of the dharma body is a bit vicious, either with four faces and eight arms, or with nine heads and ten arms. Zhun mentioned that the dharma body of the Taoist is a strange image with 24 heads and eighteen arms.

Each of these Dharma Bodies has green faces and fangs, or looks weird. If ordinary people see them, they will definitely be afraid.

That is to say, people in the Buddhist sect can speak eloquently, with a lotus flower in their tongues, and praise the Buddhist teachings to the sky, in the name of attracting people to do good, so that ordinary people can believe in worship.

Otherwise, if such a dharma body suddenly appeared in front of people, it would definitely scare ordinary people as far as they could go.

Just as Western Buddhism was growing rapidly, Qi Yuan's Emei Sword Sect was also much more prosperous than before.

Of course, he will not spread teachings among the people like Western religions to attract followers. After all, the Emei Sword Sect belongs to the Taoist line. Except for the gods in the heavens, ordinary qi practitioners do not need incense and tribute from the people.

Even in order to maintain the purity of his own mana, he will deliberately stay away from incense, so as not to be polluted by the divine power of incense.

Only the dharma body of Buddhism needs the power of incense and fire to make offerings like gods.
