Laozi, the Great Supreme Being

Chapter 404: Making sarcastic remarks and discussing the truth with a burning lamp

"Demon Ancestor, please invite this disciple of Zhunti to come here to pay your respects."

The sound of a great bell sounded from the ruins of the barrier in the ancient world, vaguely mixed with a hint of the Buddhist secrets of the Western Paradise. It is as if thousands of gods and Buddhas are chanting sutras at the same time. Like the surging river flowing into the sea, the sea embracing hundreds of rivers, the waterfalls in Lushan Mountain, and the bursting divine sounds flying down the Milky Way, people can't help but yearn for it and want to listen carefully.

At this time, the demon ancestor of the demon sect was sitting in the void at the intersection of the barrier of the great world and the small world of the heavens.

His eyes were slightly closed, and the twelve black golden lotuses under his seat were the only flourishing flowers in the barrier of this desolate world. It is filled with an extremely palpitating feeling, and combined with the unique ferocious aura of Wutian, and the profound meaning of the Tao through killing, it gives people an even more mysterious feeling.

Hearing a voice that did not belong to this desolate area suddenly sounded, Wutian opened his eyes for the first time. Two dark lights as black as ink shot out from his pupils, turning into two black sharp arrows and shooting toward them abruptly. The source of the sound shot away.

The arrow tail, which initially looked like a comet with a ghostly air and a cold ghostly light, turned into two black golden crows with sharp mouths and monkey cheeks as it traveled, spraying a thin black mist towards the direction of the burning lamp.

"I've said it a long time ago, I'm meditating here and not even a single ant should come over. Otherwise, if I cause endless evil, you won't be able to blame me. It's just because you don't open your eyes."

After Wutian released this fierce offensive, he closed his eyes again and seemed to be talking to himself, not caring about the identity and background of this person he had not yet met.

"Buddha's light shines everywhere!!"

The black mist in the distance suddenly hit a ray of golden light that suddenly appeared, causing endless ripples. At the same time, the black mist and the golden beam began to devour each other. In the end, this rootless energy attack had no follow-up. The blessing of power continued to collapse and dissolve under the continuous illumination of golden light, and finally disappeared completely.

The black mist dissipated, revealing a dim light wrapped inside. It was said that the dim light was more like a flame with a little bit of the aura of the avenue. It exudes terrifying coercion, purifying this space contaminated by filthy air.

Finally, the fire light dissipated, revealing the figure of a skinny old man, with rough skin like old tree bark, tight skin full of wrinkles like deep growth rings left by the years, wearing a golden Taoist robe. The pressure of the quasi-sage is unmistakable.

Seeing that his offensive did not have the expected effect, Wutian opened his eyes suspiciously, and then looked at this figure, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a strange arc.

"Who am I supposed to be? Isn't this the great and powerful lamp-burning immortal? How disrespectful. I am lucky to be able to see my true form today."

There was no expression on Wutian's face and he said with a smile.

"Wutian Demon Ancestor is so complimentary. Ran Deng deserves it. Before that, I felt that I was destined to the Buddhist Dharma of the Western Bliss, so I chose a tree to live in. I gave up the troubles of the mundane world and devoted myself to I am the Buddha who is compassionate to save all living beings." Ran Deng put his hands together and bowed deeply.

It was expected that the first meeting would not be too simple, and now it seems that everything is developing in a good direction.

Thinking of this, Ran Deng's tense heartstrings couldn't help but relax a little. Then he said without thinking.

After hearing Ran Deng's reply, Wu Tian had a strange look on his face and said in a somewhat ups and downs tone.

"I admire you very much for what you have done. You led many of your disciples to rebel against that guy from Yuanshi, and joined the Western Paradise to become a generation of eminent monks, with the name of Lantern Buddha."

"Why do you think you have a new backer and become more unscrupulous? You ignore my words and dare to appear in front of me. Did you expect the consequences?"

Speaking of this, Wutian's tone gradually turned from calm to a little cold, with a hint of strong pressure at the same time.

"There is a cloud in Buddhism. Bodhi has no tree, it exists in the heart. The Buddha in the heart is the Buddha. There is the devil in the heart. All things are in vain. Get rid of the original mind, eliminate distracting thoughts, and get rid of the seven emotions and six desires. The secret of Buddhism."

"There is also a Tao, and there is no Tao. Hundreds of rivers lead to the sea. All roads are the same as the Tao of Heaven. No matter what kind of approach we take, it is for the sake of our practice. Donors should not be too paranoid."

"Crooked sects and evil ways, righteous and famous sects juxtaposed in the wilderness, intercepting teachings and teachings, who is evil and who is demon, who can understand. There is no conclusion on whether the Western Paradise and the Eastern Heaven are right and wrong."

"I am a treacherous villain, a scumbag, a villain, a good minister who chooses a tree, that is what the outside world does, as long as I am firm in my heart."

"The world says that you are the ancestor of the demon clan and the source of cholera. Are you really going to admit it? Are you going to abandon the dark side and join the bright side, disband the demon sect and join the Western Paradise? This is the truth."

Ran Deng said unhurriedly.
