Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 734 Goodbye Guangchengzi

Starting from the South China Sea and heading towards Jambudvīpa, halfway through the journey, a flash of Buddha's light appeared in front of Ao Bing and stopped Ao Bing and Li Nu.

"Guanyin, I pay my respects to the Four Great Dragon Gods. I hope the Four Great Dragon Gods will spare some time to see you."

It was the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara of Buddhism, the 'general' under the command of Sakyamuni.

As the chant continued, the Buddha's light in front of Ao Bing became increasingly majestic.

Then several other figures appeared.

Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and Ksitigarbha.

Plus Guanyin.

It turned out to be the four great Bodhisattvas of Buddhism who had arrived together.

Bodhisattva is the second system in the Buddhist system of attainments. Generally speaking, only those who are Taiyi can be called Bodhisattvas.

However, among these Bodhisattvas, four are extremely special.

With their merits, they should have been able to attain Buddhahood, but for their own reasons, they gave up the pursuit of Buddhahood.

Moreover, when Buddhism was still Brahma, these four people had always supported the situation of Buddhism.

Therefore, these four Bodhisattvas added the word "Great" between the flavors of their fruits and were called Great Bodhisattvas.

Although they are still the fruit of Bodhisattva, between heaven and earth, these four great Bodhisattvas are often regarded as Buddhas.

Even some Buddhas cannot compare to their glory.

After Buddhism, these four great Bodhisattvas have been traveling around the world, maintaining the connection between Buddhism and many powerful people, and spreading the influence of Buddhism on the world.

Before, when Ao Bing was traveling through time and space, he had dealt with these four people more than once.

Now, these four great Bodhisattvas who were scattered all over the heaven and earth and all over the time and space have gathered in the South China Sea. It can be seen that Buddhism is making some new moves.

And Ao Bing also took the opportunity to break into the Buddhist movement.

"What a coincidence, the four great Bodhisattvas are all here." Ao Bing took a look at the obscured Buddha's light.

Then he followed the gaze of Samantabhadra and the others.

It is the junction between the South China Sea and the Central Region.

That’s where the long bridge is.

These four great Bodhisattvas have been looking at that place all the time.

Ao Bing thought about the current situation of the world and immediately knew what these four great Bodhisattvas were looking at.

An opportunity - an opportunity to spread Buddhism to the world.

Of the two Buddhist sects, the Buddhist orthodoxy is the most rejected in the human world.

This is the legacy left over from the integration of Brahmanism.

During the Ji Zhou period, Buddhism had the opportunity to spread its teachings among the people - however, after the death of King Yi, the wars among the princes soon intensified, and the era of chaos among the princes began again.

In such an era, what is the difference between the Buddhist tradition of making mortals "docile and non-competitive" and making those princes surrender?
Therefore, in that era, the Buddhist tradition, which had just begun to show signs of existence in the world, was immediately turned into dust under the joint suppression of those princes.

Then, the First Emperor finally emerged, ended the war, and unified the human race.

At this time, the remnants of the six kingdoms were still dissatisfied with the First Emperor.

At this time, the First Emperor should be able to use Buddhism to educate the people and make these mortals obedient.

With this idea in mind and out of respect for the Human Emperor, the Buddhist sect specially sent a Buddha to Xianyang to discuss the matter of preaching with the First Emperor.

And the result of that discussion.

The golden body of the Buddha was ground into powder, and his head is still hanging on the palace wall.

Then, the entire human race developed an immense aversion to Buddhism.

In the past, Buddhist practitioners could still travel among the human world.

But now, under the cover of the humane aura, even the great Bodhisattvas of Buddhism can only watch from afar, and dare not easily set foot in that humane land.

Otherwise, this would only suppress the human spirit of the immortals and gods, and it would turn into a flame that would burn everything and completely burn them to ashes.

"I have important matters to discuss with the Great Dragon God. The Great Dragon God is going to Jambudvīpa, and my Buddhist sect is also paying attention to some changes in Jambudvīpa."

"How about, Great Dragon God, come with me to Mount Putuo to talk?" The Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara bowed calmly.

"Okay, please, Bodhisattva." Ao Bing nodded.

Then, an island appeared in the South China Sea.

This is the dojo of the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara.

Putuo Mountain.

There is a cave in Putuo Mountain called Luojia Cave.

Therefore, in the mouths of some people, Putuo Mountain is also called Luojia Mountain.

When he was still the Taoist Master Cihang instead of the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, this place was already his temple.

After he died in the Battle of Conferred Gods and reincarnated, and then devoted himself to Buddhism, Jade Pure Yuanshi Tianzun did not take back this Taoist temple - and the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara still chose to settle down in Putuo Mountain.

And this is also regarded as the whole situation in which Buddhism and Taoism advance and retreat as one.

As the former Taoist Cihang, now the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara has run the Taoist temple for countless tens of thousands of years, so this Luojia Cave is naturally extraordinary.

Inside, there are countless rare treasures and magical objects from heaven and earth.

Ao Bing had seen quite a few of these miraculous medicines that had long been extinct in the human world.

After crossing the purple bamboo forest, you will reach the core of Luojia Cave.

Ao Bing originally thought that he wanted to tell him something about the Buddhist arrangements in Jambudvīpa, as well as some clues about the matter of the Seven Fairies.

The three great Bodhisattvas outside also think so.

But when the two sides were sitting opposite each other, Guanyin Bodhisattva spoke, but what he said had nothing to do with the matter of the Seven Fairies.

"Great Dragon God, please forgive me. I asked the Great Dragon God to come here because an old friend of mine wants to meet the Great Dragon God."

As soon as he finished speaking, a Taoist wearing a bamboo hat walked out from the purple bamboo forest.

"Hello, young friend Ao." The Taoist took off his hat, patted the bamboo leaves on the hat, and then bowed slightly to Ao Bing.

"I am Guangchengzi, I am polite."

Beside them, Ao Bing and Princess Longji both stood up suddenly.

Guangchengzi!
He was once Yuxu's first disciple, but he disappeared after the Battle of the Gods.

No, not ever.

Now, he is still Yuxu's first disciple.

Because of its name, the disc is still on the wall of Yuxu Palace.

Ao Bing looked at Guangchengzi in front of him.

The longer he had been missing, the longer the powerful people between heaven and earth had been looking for him - the Daluo were looking for him, and the other disciples of the Chan sect were also looking for him.

However, from the time of the Conferred Gods until now, no one in the world has been able to find any trace of Guangchengzi.

Nowadays, some people regard the Taoist Nanzhen of the Chan sect as the reincarnation of Guangchengzi.

Who could have thought that Guangchengzi would appear in this Luojia Cave Heaven, and even specifically asked the Bodhisattva Guanyin to invite him?
In his arms, the Daluo document was slightly warm.

This is the Guangchengzi in front of him, the proof that he has achieved Daluo.

At the time of the Conferred God Ceremony, Guangchengzi was only the best among the Taiyi, but not the best - but after he had disappeared for tens of thousands of years, he had quietly ascended to the Daluo.

Ao Bing was also unable to determine whether this person had achieved Daluo in this generation, or whether he had taken advantage of the opening of the Guixu Cave to inherit the fruits of his previous life and then became Daluo.

Thinking of this, Ao Bing's gaze fell on the Bodhisattva Guanyin - according to what the Jade Emperor said, most of the immortals under the Jiejiao sect are different in each generation, but the twelve immortals of the Chenjiao sect remain the same in every generation.

He suddenly discovered a blind spot that he had never noticed before.

In each of these numerous generations, the Twelve Immortals became disciples of Yuxu - but when the Guixu Cave opened, countless Daluo returned, but unfortunately, none of the Twelve Immortals of the Chan Sect achieved Daluo.

Just like the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara in front of him, his current achievements are still only at the pinnacle of Taiyi, and he has not achieved Daluo.

The reason for this is that their qualifications are so dull that even under the guidance of Yuanshi Tianzun in many past generations, they have not been able to achieve the level of Daluo.

Or is it that, although the Guixu Cave has been opened, not all the Daluo of the past have returned to the present era?
More Daluo have been destroyed forever along with those buried generations.

Only a very small number of Daluo, whose island nations had never collapsed and were buried in Guixu, have returned to this era?
Ao Bing thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more confused he felt.

Those generations buried in Guixu, did they exist or not?
How do they exist?

If they do not exist, then how did the Daluo of the past, such as the cowherd, influence the present and cause the corresponding "them" to emerge in this generation?

Guangchengzi looked at Ao Bing in front of him and was also filled with sighs.

If it weren't for the slightest thought back then, Ao Bing would already be a disciple of Yuxu today - with the three of Ao Bing, Yang Jian, and Nezha joining forces, how could the Yuxu lineage have encountered the hardships that followed?
"It turns out to be Senior Guangchengzi."

"If senior wants to see me, a mark will be enough. Why bother the great Bodhisattva Guanyin?" Ao Bing collected his thoughts and spoke out, interrupting Guangchengzi's sigh.

"I came here especially for you, little friend Ao."

"My dear friend, you should know that you can no longer go on this path," said Guangchengzi.

What he said was Ao Bing's ritual of faith and loyalty.

"The existence of the First Emperor is a denial of trust and loyalty. Perhaps someone in the world can tell you that as long as the First Emperor is killed and his achievements are destroyed, trust and loyalty can be restored."

"But have you ever thought about the consequences of this matter?"

"You are the representative of faith and loyalty, so only if you kill the First Emperor yourself can the ritual be resumed."

"But that was the First Emperor, the Human Emperor."

“If I remember correctly, ever since the Dinghai Shenzhen fell into the East China Sea, the future of the Dragon Clan has been suppressed by the energy of humanity.” Guangchengzi said - before he achieved Daluo, he naturally did not know the nature of the Dinghai Shenzhen.

But after achieving Daluo, after understanding the causes and consequences and re-deducing the changes of the dragon clan after the Huai River, he naturally understood the essence of the Dinghai Shenzhen.

"My friend, even if you kill the Human King, you will suffer backlash from humanity, let alone the Human Emperor?"

"The dragon race has been suppressed by humanity. If you kill the emperor, you will be attacked by humanity, not to mention your own injuries."

"But the suppression from the dragon clan is tens or hundreds of times stronger."

"When it comes to that, among the dragon race, let alone Daluo, even Taiyi will not be able to produce another one."

"As a dragon, and as the carrier of the backlash of humanity, how can you ascend to Daluo while humanity lasts forever?"

Guangchengzi said in front of Ao Bing.

When the First Emperor succeeded, Ao Bing's path was already a dead end.

Regardless of the First Emperor, the credibility and trust collapsed, and Ao Bing's rituals also completely collapsed.

Emperor Guan Shi - at a time when humanity was at its peak, he killed the Human Emperor who continued the path of the Human Emperor and opened up the future. Even Daluo could not bear such a backlash, let alone Ao Bing, let alone the dragon clan?
Princess Longji, who was standing next to her, turned pale as she listened to Guangchengzi's words.

Dead end!

A real dead end that there is no way out of no matter what!

The consequences can only be bad and worse!

"And there is one more thing." After a moment, Guangchengzi spoke again.

"In the past generations, the Emperor Qin was only the king of men, and the Qin Dynasty has existed for thousands of years."

"In this generation, the Daluo and the Jade Emperor gambled and fought, each placing bets in the human world, but in the end, the Qin Emperor still unified the country."

"The Qin Emperor, who was only the Human King, has been around for thousands of years - let alone the Human Emperor?"

"Behind the scenes, there are even more Daluo who have inherited the past generations' situation and bet on the Qin Dynasty."

“Even if the Dragon Clan dares to bear the backlash of humanity, those Daluo who have bet on the Qin Room will definitely stop you.”

"My husband." Princess Longji held Ao Bing's hand, "Why don't we just forget it?"

"When the emperor dies, we will make plans."

Princess Longji suddenly realized that the Human Emperor represented more than just the Human Emperor himself, and more than just the human race itself.

It was a huge interest group with the First Emperor himself as the core and many Daluo surrounding him.

Their existence itself represents a great force flowing between heaven and earth.

A trend that even saints must respect.

This is what Ao Bing really has to deal with.

Rather than just a simple human emperor, it is an empire of mortals.

"If you have something to teach me, why not just tell me directly? Why do I need to learn those tricks?"

"Or, senior, can you give me three strategies?" Ao Bing patted Princess Longji's hand, signaling her to rest assured.

"As expected, you are the Lord of Punishment." Looking at the expression on Ao Bing's face, which was not fake at all and he still looked calm, Guangchengzi couldn't help but sigh again in his heart.

"In that case, I won't say anything else."

"I asked you to meet me here because I want to ask you for a favor."

"As a price, when you attack the Human Emperor, I am willing to come forward to stop the Daluo between heaven and earth for you."

“Even if I perish for this and my Dao Fruit collapses, there is no retreat.”

As Guangchengzi spoke, the first thing he said was one of the biggest problems that Ao Bing faced.

That is to say, those Daluo between heaven and earth who supported the First Emperor, placed bets on the First Emperor, placed bets on the Qin Dynasty, and are waiting for endless rewards.

Although those Daluo formed a huge group, Guangchengzi was just one person.

But no matter what, Daluo is still Daluo.

Even if Guangchengzi is just one person, as long as he is willing to use all his strength, he can still buy time for Ao Bing to attack the Human Emperor.

"I want to ask, why?" Ao Bing avoided Guangchengzi's question and asked why first.

Since the Battle of Conferred Gods, Guangchengzi has disappeared between heaven and earth.

Even if it was Ao Bing's Daluo document, Guangchengzi just pretended it didn't exist.

Guangchengzi also never participated in the Kunlun Dharma Assembly presided over by Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun.

He looked as if he would hide forever no matter how the world changed.

But at this time, Guangchengzi reappeared because of the First Emperor's affairs.

why?
