Descendants of Pangu in the Great Desolation

Chapter 60
In the Duobao Hall of Duobao Buddha on the mountainside of Lingjiu Mountain in the Western Buddhist world, Manjushri Bodhisattva is talking with Duobao Buddha about the disappearance of Sakyamuni, the leader of the Buddhist world.

Manjusri said: "Duobao Buddha, do you know where my Buddha Tathagata has gone? The four great arhats sent by the ancient Buddha Dideng have not returned any news." Duobao glanced at him and said: "My Buddha Tathagata How can we guess the profoundness of the way and deeds. The Bodhisattva is here today for this purpose?"

Manjusri saw that he was indifferent to his answers, so he went straight to the topic without beating around the bush, and said, "Since this is the case, Manjusri just said it straight. Didn't Duobao Buddha always want to go to Biyou Palace to meet Uncle Tongtian? This time It just so happens that my Buddha Tathagata is not here, isn't it just a good time for Duobao Buddha to go to Biyou Palace?" Hearing Manjusri say this, Duobaofo also murmured in his heart, although he knew that this time was indeed his time, but Manjusri tricked him Duoduo didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd, so he didn't dare to spit out easily, so he said: "I have been guided by Amitabha Buddha to guide the West to cultivate into a Buddha body, and then I have nothing to do with Jiejiao. What is the reason for the Bodhisattva to say so?" Manjushri He laughed and said: "Duobao Buddha, we enlightened people don't speak dark words. Although you and I belong to the Buddhist world now, we are from Taoism after all. Although we don't belong to the same religion, we are also disciples of the same ancestor. It may be that you I have some prejudices against my teaching, but now we belong to Buddhism, the past has gone with the wind, and I can go back to see the teacher Yuan Tianzun at any time, why can't you Dabao Buddha go to Biyou Palace to visit the master? .”

Duobao Buddha was right when he thought about it: Since you Manjusri can go, why can't I Duobao? Go to Biyou Palace.Said to Manjusri: "I was persuaded by the Bodhisattva, but the treasures are all empty, so I won't think about the future and the past." After speaking, the Buddha closed his eyes and meditated, ignoring Manjusri.As soon as Manjusri saw Duobao Buddha like this, he knew that no matter how much he persuaded him, he would not tell the truth to him, so he left the Duobao Hall, and then went invisible to monitor the movements of Duobao Buddha.

An hour later, Duobao finished his meditation and saw that Manjusri had left, so he stepped down from the lotus platform and walked out of Duobao Hall, driving auspicious clouds to the Oriental Biyou Palace.Duobao rushed forward, but forgot that Manjusri was called the Bodhisattva of Great Wisdom. Since he would say this to him, there was reason to give up easily.Manjusri, who was invisible and then turned to the side, saw Duobao riding a cloud to the east, so he knew that he must have gone to Biyou Palace, so he left Duobao Palace and went to Wutai Mountain in Nandanbuzhou, his ashram, planning how to find out from Duobao Buddha. All-day movement.

It is said that Duobao Buddha did not drive the lotus platform, but drove the auspicious cloud to Biyou Palace to show his teacher Tongtian Jiaozhu's scheming. Although he went to the west and entered the Buddhist school, he still considered himself a Taoist disciple in his heart.Duobao drove Xiangyun to the outside of Biyou Palace. Zhao Gongming stood outside the palace and didn't know who was waiting, so he pressed the cloud head and asked, "Senior Brother Zhao, it's been a long time since you came in." Master Lu Ya worshiped him to death with the nail-headed seven-arrow book, and did not participate in the later Ten Thousand Immortals formation. He still could not understand why the disciples of Jiejiao turned their heads and worshiped Shimen, and said unceremoniously to Duobao: "I am Who would come to this remote place, it turned out that the Buddha of the Shimen Dabao came to visit, Xiaoxian couldn't welcome him, please forgive him."

As soon as Duobao heard his tone, he knew that his prejudice against him was so deep that it could not be dissipated easily, so he said: "Brother Zhao Duobao has something to meet with the master, please let me know." Zhao Gongming also called him teacher when he saw him Saying "Master", he stopped making things difficult for him, stretched out his hand and said, "The teacher has already figured out that there is an old man coming to visit, and specially sent me to wait here. Please." Seeing that the master had already figured out that he would go today, Duobao felt gratified, and followed Zhao Gongming. Go back to Biyou Palace.

Zhao Gongming led Duobao to the hall, and Duobao saw his master sitting cross-legged on the Kowloon incense chariot with his eyes closed, and he bowed down and said, "Disciple Duobao, may the teacher live forever." Tong Tianwei opened his eyes and leaned over to have a look, The person who worshiped was Duobao Taoist who cut off teachings in the past, and Duobao Buddha who is now a monk, asked, "I don't know why Duobao Buddha has come here?"

As soon as Duobao heard the master's tone, he knew that the master also blamed himself, so he lowered his head and said: "Teacher, although disciple Duobao entered the Buddhist school, he always misses the teacher, but it is because Sakyamuni dare not come to the teacher. Please forgive me. Sakyamuni has been missing for many days without a trace, and I just went to see the teacher today, and I hope the teacher will forgive me." Zhao Gongming said coldly: "The western Buddhist world is a place of pure cultivation. Could it be that Sakyamuni will still be there? Do you control your actions?" Duobao said: "Brother Zhao, how did you know that Sakyamuni always said that all living beings are empty of the four elements, but he is jealous and suspicious by nature, and he is very wary of those who are intercepted by us. Take us from the Taoist sect. The disciples who turned to Buddhism halfway were all handed over to Randeng for management. Randeng was in the same condition as Sakyamuni, and there was that fixed light fanning the flames. Except for my profound skills and cultivation of the Buddha body, I dare not do anything to me. Teach disciples to make things difficult, but he doesn't care about the three disciples under his uncle who turned to Shimen. Except for me who taught Pilu Immortal to cultivate to the Buddha body, the other disciples only cultivated to the body of Arhat, but Pu Xian, Manjusri , Cihang, but they all cultivated into a bodhisattva body." Tongtian was furious when he heard this: "Well, you, Ran Deng, dare to treat my disciples like this, and that traitor Dingguang, you think you have the protection of Ran Deng, I will take you Can't you?"

Zhao Gongming saw that the teacher came to Jiulong Chenxiangren furiously, and whispered to Tongtian: "Teacher calm down for now, now is not the time to get angry, since Duobao has not forgotten the teacher's kindness, why not tell him our plan, so that he can let him go." Make a meritorious deed by stopping the teaching for me." Tong Tian thought to himself: Everything Gongming said makes sense.But then I thought again: Duobao has been in Shimen for more than [-] years, I don’t know if his words are sincere, and he hastily told him his plan. If he came here to light the lamp, then I will not be worth the loss, so I should postpone it good.Then he said to Duobao: "Master, I understand your difficulties, but I am still a guilty person to put it bluntly now. Your ancestor did not forgive me, and I can't rush to Lingjiu Mountain to seek justice for you. "Duobao said: "I understand the teacher's situation, I just ask the teacher not to forget us, as long as the teacher is alive, the disciple will help with all his strength."

Tongtian waved his hand and said: "Duobao, you get up first, I understand what you mean. Now I have something for you to handle. As Duobao Buddha, you can pry into many secrets of the Buddhist world. I want you Inquire about the news that they are looking for the traces of Sakyamuni. Amitabha Buddha and Bodhi Patriarch did a lot of harm to us during the battle of conferring gods. Although being a teacher is now a sinful body, Master Hongjun Patriarch has already traveled 33 times. , don’t care about worldly affairs. This time, as a teacher, I must express my anger on your behalf, lest they think that I have stopped teaching and failed to bully you.” Duobao nodded and said: “I understand that I will do my best to live up to the teacher’s high expectations.” Then Tongtian ordered Zhao Gongming to send Duobao out of Biyou Palace.

After sending Duobao Buddha away, Zhao Gongming returned to the palace and asked Tongtian: "Why did the teacher ask Duobao to find out about Sakyamuni? Sakyamuni was not the teacher himself..." Before Zhao Gongming finished speaking, Tongtian said He signaled him not to continue, and said: "Of course I know the whereabouts of Sakyamuni, but I am not sure about the purpose of Duobao's trip this time, so I want to test him. The master intends to inform him of the master's plan and contribute to our great cause. Gongming, you should contact Wu Yunxian now and ask him to pay attention to Duobao's movements at Lingjiu Mountain." Zhao Gongming said: "Gongming understands "After Zhao Gongming answered, he left Biyou Palace and went to the Eight Directions Merit Pond on Lingjiu Mountain in the west, looking for Wuyun Immortal who has been in contact with Zhao Gongming.

Although Tongtian is the Lingbao Tianzun of the Three Purities who has reached the realm of a saint and can figure out everything in the world, but he can't figure out what people think in their hearts.It's not that Tongtian's skills are not enough, but that the thoughts in people's hearts are surrounded by spiritual consciousness. You can calculate the big things that will happen in the world, but you can't figure out the small things in people's minds. You can only figure out the general situation, but you can't figure out the specific matters at all.Not only Tongtian is like this, but also Yuanyuan Tianzun, Taishang Laojun, Jade Emperor, Lantern Buddha and Amitabha Buddha are the same. They are blinded by greed, anger, ignorance and four desires. Otherwise, why bother to find the whereabouts of Sakyamuni? ?And why did you send someone to listen to Tongtian's movements?
