Catalog of Destruction

After Huiyuan was thrown out of the ruined temple by Keats, he fell to the ground like a cloud. Keats's strength was measured just right, and he stood firm with both feet on the ground.

But Huiyuan did not run away, but turned around and looked at the ruined temple from the hole. Looking at Keats with a peaceful expression in the golden flames, he felt sad in his heart. Regardless of the eyes urging him to escape, he wanted to climb over the hole and go in for rescue. Master.

But at this time, the man in green surrounded by golden flames erupted with strong demonic energy, as black as ink and rolling like water. Not only did it suppress the golden flames, they became shorter and smaller, like a candle in the wind, but also Huiyuan outside the temple was suppressed. Frozen there.

Huiyuan watched the situation in the temple, but his body was stiff and cold. He tried his best to move but could not move an inch. In his eagerness, Huiyuan began to pray to the gods and Buddhas in his heart: "Greatly merciful Buddha and Bodhisattva, please show your spirit." , save the master, if I can save the master, Huiyuan will repay you by being an ox and a horse from now on..."

"Didn't it say that when the Dharma ends in the future, a Buddha will come from the outer heaven? Why hasn't the Buddha come yet even though Master is about to die?!" The young Huiyuan mixed together the few words he usually heard and prayed.

Suddenly, countless starlights gathered in front of Huiyuan's eyes, and a Buddha statue, all condensed by starlight, with a solemn treasure appearance, an unclear face, and a jade vase in his palm appeared. His voice was loud and majestic, and it seemed to resound in every corner of Huiyuan's soul. : "If you have the Buddha Dharma in your heart, then the Dharma will always exist. How can we come to the end of the Dharma world? Huiyuan, you Buddhist disciples have lost the compassion of our Buddha and are obsessed with the solid consciousness of God, so you have this calamity."

Huiyuan did not expect the Buddha to really come, but he immediately became ecstatic. He kowtowed frequently in the hallucination of his soul, and followed the words of the Buddha statue: "Please save my master, my disciple Huiyuan will definitely regain the compassion of my Buddha and enlighten me." Buddhism.”

The Infinite Starlight Buddha statue looked at him: "If you want to return to the era of righteous Dharma and make Buddhism great, you need to overcome all kinds of difficulties before you can uphold your alchemy and achieve good results again. Huiyuan, are you willing?"

How could Huiyuan not be willing? He solemnly swore in front of the Buddha, hoping that the Buddha could save his master. Anyway, it was his lifelong wish to make Buddhism great, and it was also the extravagant hope that Huiyuan had hidden in his heart after seeing the violent deaths of his brothers and sisters.

The starlight Buddha statue nodded, and with a flick of the hand that was not holding the jade bottle, infinite starlight descended, seemingly covering the entire temple, but every star. But it fell exactly on the man in green, and Keats, who was right next to him, didn't get any damage at all. In an instant, the man in green turned to ashes in the endless starlight.

The Buddha's finger flicked on the jade bottle again, and a few drops of clear dew flew out, turning into sweet rain and falling on the golden flame. The golden flames were extinguished by the sweet rain. The parts of Keats's body that were burned to the point of exposing the bones were regenerated with flesh and blood, and new skin grew back. His face, which had been aging rapidly, gradually stopped and began to recover.

However, Keats fell into a coma long ago and did not wake up for a while.

Huiyuan was stunned when he saw it: "This, is this what Master often said, that the Buddha's Dharma is boundless, living and dead, flesh and bones?! The Buddha is really powerful."

"Huiyuan." The majestic voice of the Infinite Starlight Buddha statue rang in Huiyuan's ears.

Huiyuan came to his senses and prostrated himself on the ground: "I wonder what the Buddha's instructions were?"

"Since you have vowed to overcome all kinds of difficulties and dangers to make Buddhism great, then go to the northeast and start from wherever you started. Return to Feilai Courtyard. On the mountain behind Feilai Courtyard, there is a glass Buddha If you can get the immortal talisman made by the Lord before he became enlightened, it will be of great help to you in practicing Buddhist techniques. It will also be of great use when you achieve the status of Bodhisattva and pass through the third heavenly tribulation. " The Starlight Buddha statue is solemn and compassionate.

Huiyuan knew that his master came from Feilaiyuan, but he did not expect that there was actually the talisman of Lord Liuli Buddha on the mountain behind Feilaiyuan. Who was Lord Liuli Buddha? In the mind of the young Huiyuan, most Buddhist scriptures had " "This is what I heard." What he heard was the subtle words and great meanings of the two Buddhist masters, Lord Liuli Buddha and Lord Maitreya Buddha. Therefore, Huiyuan knew the preciousness of the immortal talisman just by hearing their names.

The more precious the thing, the greater the danger. Huiyuan has understood this truth in his life over the years, so he restrained his excitement and asked respectfully: "I wonder what the danger is in this trip? Please ask the Buddha to clarify, if there is really glass The Immortal Talisman of Lord Buddha should have been taken away a long time ago." As for the current situation of Feilaiyuan, Huiyuan heard a lot from his master that it was occupied by a powerful big shot, so he could only sneak in anonymously.

"You are quite smart and did not act rashly after hearing this. That immortal talisman was flown to the courtyard by Yuantong to suppress an enemy in the past. It also blessed the destiny of the world on it. Very few people can take it away. I have a Buddhist spell. , you recite it within the hundred feet of the immortal talisman, day after day, and one day, the immortal talisman will automatically fall into your hands after feeling your thoughts. This can also be regarded as a test for you. "The Infinite Starlight Buddha statue shoots out a starlight and falls. Go to Huiyuan Sea of ​​​​Consciousness, and there is a Buddhist mantra and a Buddhist scripture in it.

"The Way of the Future Stars"? When Huiyuan saw the name on the Buddhist scripture, he knew that it was the supreme dharma passed down to him by the Buddha, in the hope that he would bring glory to Buddhism. After just a cursory glance, he felt that it was profound and profound, and it was not as mysterious as the "Jialan Sutra" taught by his master. Just as he was about to kowtow in thanks, he saw the starlight Buddha statue transformed into countless starlights and scattered away. Only a loud voice sounded in his ears: "I will pass on the righteous Dharma to you. I hope you will uphold the Buddha's heart, overcome many obstacles, and cultivate successfully." True result."

The starlight dissipated, and the scene in front of Huiyuan's eyes suddenly returned to normal. He found himself outside the temple's cave, standing motionless while looking inside. The only difference was that the feeling that froze his body and soul had disappeared. He raised his hands and raised his hand. Lifting his feet, everything was fine. When he looked inside, he saw that the man in green had disappeared without a trace. His master Keats was lying on the ground completely motionless, but his breathing was steady and his face was rosy, as if he had recovered from years of serious illness.

The cold wind was gone, the evil wind was gone, and the terrifying man in green was gone. If Huiyuan hadn't stood outside the temple, with the Buddhist mantra and the Buddhist experience so vividly in his mind, he would have thought he was having a nightmare.

Climbing in from the hole, Huiyuan sat by the fire and looked at his master in a daze. The Buddha just now was really majestic, compassionate and powerful. He was infinitely better than those tattered Buddha statues. It was indeed the end of the Dharma Age that would come. of Buddha.

After a while, Keats groaned and slowly opened his eyes. He immediately saw Huiyuan rushing towards him happily, looked around nervously, and then breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Huiyuan, why did you ask me to leave then?" Not leaving! Hey, where’s the monster?”

Keats's last memory was to burn the remaining golden body of the Arhat, hugging the monster, integrating his longevity and the origin of life into it and burning it together. He wanted to ignite the fire of karma and burn it to death, but unfortunately it was only the remaining golden body, which could not be connected normally. Even if he couldn't use the Dharma, how could he activate the Fire Red Lotus of Karma at this time? Under the counterattack of the demon power, he fainted directly, and what happened next is unclear.

Huiyuan was very happy and said: "Master, Master, what you said is true. In the Age of Ending Dharma, a Buddha really descended from the sky. He killed the monsters with just a flick of his hand, and then sprinkled the sweet rain on you. The injury will heal..."

"Wait, wait, Huiyuan, what did you say? Buddha?" Keats didn't believe his ears.

Huiyuan nodded affirmatively and described the situation at that time, even repeating every word of the Infinite Starlight Buddha statue. He was young and had a good memory, almost word for word, and finally said: "Buddha He said that if you want to revive Buddhism, you need to overcome many difficulties. The first step is to get the talisman of the Glazed Buddha from Feilaiyuan. "

After listening to Huiyuan's words, Keats fell into deep thought: "Did the Buddha really come, or was it a demon, or a heretic pretending to be a ghost?" In Buddhist scriptures, it is recorded more than once that demons transformed into various characters in order to confuse the Buddha. , it is normal for him to transform into a Buddha and deceive Buddhist disciples, but where does his benefit come from? Buddhism is so dilapidated now!

Could it be to save the big devil who was suppressed under the back mountain? Keats recalled that when he first entered the academy, he heard the few remaining Bodhisattvas talking about how a great demon was suppressed in the mountains behind Feilaiyuan. Hundreds of years ago, he forced his way into Feilaiyuan and killed Feilaiyuan until it was filled with blood. Many Bodhisattvas died before they were suppressed. In the following hundreds of years, before Feilaiyuan was attacked by the earthly immortal, there were several real people and human immortals who wanted to save the demon, but unfortunately they all died at the hands of the Bodhisattva. .

Thinking of this, Keats had doubts. If he had seen it at that time, he should have been able to tell the truth from the false. Moreover, if Lord Liuli Buddha's immortal talisman could really have a magical effect on the third heavenly tribulation, then his master The Great Merciful Bodhisattva would not fall, so he asked: "Huiyuan, what did the Buddha give you?"

Huiyuan replied: "A Buddhist mantra, a Buddhist scripture." He first recited the Buddhist mantra, but Keats didn't find any problem. When he heard the Buddhist scriptures again, his eyes widened: ""The Way of the Future Stars"? That is a profound Buddhist teaching passed down by Lord Maitreya Buddha. Although it is not as good as the "Innocent White Lotus Sutra" passed down directly by Lord Maitreya Buddha, there are hundreds of branches that use it as the fundamental orthodoxy. It is so strong that even if some of its branches are not even Bodhisattvas, they are still ranked high in the fundamental Dharma of Buddhism.”

Keats was mesmerized as he listened to Huiyuan's recital. The Buddha's Dharma is vast, it is really a good life, it is mysterious and profound, and this "The Way of the Future Stars" seems to be true!

Hearing the wonder, Keats casually waved his hand, and a golden lotus sprouted from his hand. He was stunned for a moment, and then he checked his body excitedly. After a long time, he finally said with shock and surprise: " He actually recovered to the level of consciousness. However, the Arhat's golden body was completely gone. "If you can heal your injuries in an instant, your level of cultivation must be at the Bodhisattva level, or even higher."

In the midst of joy and surprise, Keats gradually recalled the history of Buddhism in the entire Yuanmang world, coupled with the wonderful method of "The Way of the Future Stars". It seemed that starting from the time when the immortal talisman was used to suppress the demon, the entire Buddhism gradually declined, and finally It is beyond control. Is this what the Starlight Buddha meant when he said, "Where does it start? Where does it start?"
