I Am Immortal

Chapter 569: Bodhi can only be achieved when all Buddhas are extinct!

 The Buddha’s light stopped.

 Everything is silent.

The eyes of all the Buddhas slipped down uncontrollably, and fell on the white-haired old Taoist. Qingniu kept walking forward step by step. The Buddha's light was magnificent, as vast as a sea of ​​smoke, but at this moment But they all stopped and could not take another step forward.

　　　　???!!”

"This is…"

“Who is coming here to block my path to Dharma?”

The Buddhas were astonished, and it was hard to describe. They seemed not to recognize who the old man in front of them was. But after a few breaths passed, they finally understood, and a look of astonishment appeared on their faces. , It seemed that he could not put aside the old man in front of him who was getting old and had no cultivation at all.

In front of Yi Jiazi, he first plays the demon, then fights the world, rejects the emperor's sting and walks in the world.

At this time, seeing the current enemy so weak and old, almost in a state of imminent death, a kind of sadness arose in my heart, just like the bleak autumn day and the old cicadas chirping sadly on the dead trees. Naturally, we will think of the scene in midsummer when the cicadas chirp loudly, resounding throughout the world.

Thinking of life, death, and prosperity, it is natural to feel sad, especially when I have seen this Taoist in his unparalleled glory. Seeing this appearance, I feel even more sad - and seeing him walking in the world, his movements are extremely slow and weak, as if his body cannot support him. That this old green ox is still needed to move around can't help but make people feel that all things are impermanent.

The once unbeatable enemy has now become so old and feeble.

 One cannot help but feel the joy of winning in one's heart.

The [Namo Shanle Ziyin Guangming Tathagata] who once took the lead in the affairs of Landa Temple back then, but because of his caution and timidity, has never really stepped into the human world, looked at this enemy, and finally a hint of victory appeared in the corner of his mouth. The reader’s smile said:

 “Are you...Qi Wuhuo?”

“Your Highness Xuanwei Daojun, why have you become like this?”

He asked with a smile. The Buddha's light above his head was rolling and rolling, showing the boundless pure and free flowing light. The twenty-four Buddha's treasures were extremely mysterious, clear and pure. It was impossible to see that the tragic situation like Landa Temple had anything to do with him. .

But even for him, even though he was filled with supreme joy at this moment, facing such an old opponent, the name he spoke subconsciously still carried the most fixed judgment.

Taishang Xuanwei, Lord Dao!

 Or maybe even he himself didn't notice this little instinct.

He clasped his hands together and said, "I think back then, you were invincible with your skills and your sword energy. You were so carefree and domineering. If you send a little boy here, you will make me, the Buddha, retreat thousands of miles, unable to enter even one step, but... So majestic.”

"It's just that the world has changed and everything has changed. Daojun has become so old and obsessed."

“But our cultivation is still there, and the Buddhas are pure and at ease, just like before.”

“Tell me, who wins between us?”

The tone of [Namo Shan Le Zi Zi Guang Guang Tathagata] is calm, but its content is obviously full of hostility. However, such active provocation is definitely not his real purpose, at least it is not just that. Here, with sharp words, When attacking and touching this Taoist's heart, he had already taken half a step forward.

In the void, there are countless voices chanting sutras, as if all the Buddhist kingdoms in the West have been revealed in front of them.

 As if this body is the Dharma and this body is the Buddhist principle.

 This body is the Buddha!

The boundless Buddha's light surged and rolled towards the front with an unparalleled momentum, beating down with incomparable ferocity. The Buddha's light had reached its peak, and all the Buddhas took action at this moment, using their magic weapons and magical powers. , to assist the power of the Buddha’s light [Namo Shan Le Zhi Yin Guang Tathagata].

For a moment, I just saw the pure and free light of the Buddha in front of me, flowers falling from the sky, golden lotuses emerging from the ground, endless Buddhist chanting sounds, flowing left and right, majestic and majestic, the momentum is turbulent, connecting with the sky, all the Buddhas have blazing colors in their eyes, look Ahead.

 Across the green ox and the Taoist, there is the vast human world.

 It is the pure and vast destiny of humanity in the world, which is the precious treasure of the nine stone tablets.

It was as if the persistence, sacrifices, forbearance and efforts of these several eons, countless years had all materialized in this moment, and were all gathered into the Buddha's light, flowing like a torrent towards the final obstacle ahead. Bang down.

Then-

After a pause, all the phantoms of the Buddhas disappeared into thin air.

 Thereupon, Namo Shan Le Zhi Zhi Yin Guang Tathagata and the other Buddhas woke up from their beautiful illusions.

The killer moves and determination they used with all their strength disappeared in an instant in front of this old Taoist with no cultivation. They were still very strange, not even the slightest movement or ripple was left. It was so easy and so natural.

 Then the dreams of the Buddhas were shattered.

So the green bull naturally took steps. The old man above the green bull sat sideways and did not answer. However, as the green bull stepped forward, the lights of the Buddhas rolling in the sky above his head actually melted like snow in spring. Keep retreating towards the back!

 Back off!

 Back again!

 Finally, the mighty Buddhist luck that had been gathering momentum plummeted!

 There is no such vast and majestic atmosphere as before!

They almost felt that what they were facing was not a simple Taoist, but another majestic trend. One Buddha after another showed his golden body, his supreme supernatural powers, and many Buddhist magical powers. I tried to stop him in front of this person, but it was all useless.

 The Buddhas retreated three times again and again!

 In the blink of an eye.

 Has been knocked out of Hangu Pass!

The immeasurable golden Buddhist destiny spread towards the back, reversing and flying into the direction of the Buddhist kingdom. [Namo Shan Le Zi Zi Yin Guang Tathagata]'s heart stagnated. Under this huge impact, what was in desire and obsession , desire, and many calamities accumulated over several calamities suddenly woke up and dissipated, and he suddenly understood something.

"you!!"

“Fellow practitioners, retreat quickly! Retreat immediately!”

He shouted like an ordinary mortal who saw a demon, and then showed a lot of Buddha's light, and quickly ran away behind him, trying to stay away. At this moment, the Buddhas also broke free from the tribulation aura and sensed this. In an instant, there was a vast murderous intention hidden under the body of the white-haired old man.

That murderous intention is majestic and boundless.

 He is coming for me!

 He is coming for me!

This is not a fluke, even when he gets older, it is just a bait, but he is so shameful, so cunning and scheming, that he does not hesitate to grow old and act like this, but he has to move forward Come trick me and wait!

 Taishang Xuanwei is so scheming!

[Namo Shan Le Zhi Yin Guang Tathagata] tried to use his infinite magical power to divine his own cause and effect. With such hope, his heart trembled for a moment, and his spirit suddenly became infinitely intense, and then suddenly became dead and silent, as if his spirit was struggling. Completely giving up an option.

 【Nawu Shanle Zhiyin Guangming Tathagata】heart felt a chill in his heart.

 Suddenly he spoke loudly and said, "Qi Wuhuo!"

 “The Supreme Master Xuanwei Daojun!”

"Lingying Zhenjun, the Zhenwudang Demon Emperor of Zhongtianjibei!"

"It's because we have eyes that we don't see Mount Tai. It's because we have the aura of calamity that covers our eyes. That's why we come here and finally enter this place. It's our fault. All the Buddhas like us are willing to be like the Great Master in front of us for a period of time." Order, continue to retreat to the human world, and you will not take another step forward for the entire eon!"

 Lao Qingniu crossed the road ahead and passed Hangu Pass.

The gray-haired old man spoke softly: "A year ago, I once said that the Buddhas would arrive early. In fact, I have been waiting for you to discover this..."

　　Exploration?

 What to explore? !

　　　　　　　　　　　　 by Nawu Shanle Zhenyin Guangming Tathagata 】 was stunned and suddenly realized.

Arrived a decade early, sighing that the Buddhas refused to look back!

 Sigh to the Buddhas and refuse to look back!

If you don’t come here, then no matter whether you are one or two years old, there will be no problem at all. There will be no such difficulties and tribulations. Naturally, you will still enjoy boundless purity and freedom in the Western Buddhist Kingdom. [Southern China] The Tathagata Without Good Joy, Free Sound, Light, etc.] At this moment, I debunked the post sixty years ago, and a trace of undetectable regret arose in my heart.

The regret lies in—

 Why are you so reckless?

 Why, this failed!

The old man seemed to feel this trace of murderous intention and annoyance. There was regret in his clear eyes. Finally, he sighed softly, sighing that the Buddhas refused to look back. This sigh, "Namo Good Joy, Self-satisfied Sound and Light Tathagata" Suddenly, my heart exploded, my scalp was numb, and I felt the murderous intention and determination behind this sigh.

 “Wait a minute, wait a minute, Lord Dao!”

“You can’t kill us, you can’t kill us!!”

　　【Namo Shan Le Zhi Zhi Yin Guang Tathagata】instantly realized something. He has a Buddha mind and wisdom. Under the profound aura of calamity, he still found the only way to break the situation and said:

“Buddhist destiny is destined to flourish. Now that you are in the human world, if you kill us, the Buddhist destiny that is flourishing on the stone tablet will inevitably decline!!”

 “No, no!”

 He shouted loudly.

The old Taoist replied: "The Dharma will be spread."

 “But it is just a tributary in the destiny of the world.”

He raised his palms, which were already full of wrinkles, and his sleeves were hanging down, and he slashed forward calmly. At this moment, his body seemed to become infinitely taller and grander, seeming to occupy the entire world, as if it were a place in front of him. The sixteen Buddhas are just insects.

 The scalps of all the Buddhas were instantly numb.

This Taoist's cultivation level is not high, but why is his realm so terrifying? !

“Fellow practitioners, walk in separate directions!” “My Buddha’s Dharma is immeasurable and my supernatural powers are vast. Even though I have been through this calamity, I am nothing more than a speck of dust on my shoulder.”

 “One day, we will make a comeback!”

The Buddhas used countless magical powers and boundless means to fly thousands of miles away, but they saw a pillar rising into the sky in the very distance. When they got closer, they saw that it was just the Taoist's palm with wrinkles on it. He turned around , seeing the sea of ​​clouds lingering, the sky and the earth stretching far and wide, the Taoist lowered his eyes, it was endless and terrifying!

The old man replied softly: "Buddhism will not disappear just because the Buddhas disappear."

"Buddhism will not prosper because of the appearance of Buddhas. You have always been like this, thinking that Buddhism must exist around yourself. This is your Buddhism, not the Buddhism of the common people. However, I don't need to say more about this. Word…"

 “Here comes the poor man.”

 Turn your wrist over, with your palm facing downwards, covering it!

It was so vast and majestic that the clouds and smoke were pushed away like flowing water. The bodies of the Buddhas were scattered at this moment and fell downwards. The old man in this state seemed to be like the world on earth, weighing them heavily. Press down.

In this move, there is the charm of Houtu Huangdizhi and the charm of Heaven-shaking Palm, but in the end it is cut off.

An old voice answered:

“Beheading the Buddha is not the right way to kill the Buddha.”

　　Boom! !

In the Buddhist Kingdom of the West, a place of boundless purity and freedom, the Buddha of the Seventeen Chakras has seventeen great lotus ponds. In the lotus pond, there are green lotus, white lotus, and red lotus. The flowers float on the water, their roots are under the water, and the branches and leaves never intersect. , boundless luck rises, from the beginning to today, for several eons, the luck continues, which means that Buddhism will prosper.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　——

 Sixteen buildings withered in an instant.

　　…………

　　The world is covered with white snow, and the world is covered with smoke.

The golden cicada in front of the Buddha, which crushed the relic and threw it away, walked step by step through the continent of the human world. There were already many wrinkles on his face. Even though he was the golden cicada in front of the Buddha, an ancient ferocious beast, he was dressed in cultivation. Weidu was forced out and turned into a relic, and the relic was crushed by him himself.

 Get everything and give up everything.

He is almost like a mortal now. After explaining his understanding to the old Taoist in the human world, he set off again, but he did not go directly to find the person the Taoist mentioned. There should be no need for him in the remaining years. More than that, you should be free to follow your heart.

 If you can see this person, it is fate, if you cannot see this person, it is destiny.

 It’s all up to you.

Today he came to a small town and walked into the city, which was almost no worse than a county town. Then he walked around. After walking through several streets, he suddenly felt thirsty. He saw a half-covered door in front of him, so he knocked on the door. .

The door opened and an old man walked out. The monk said, "The poor monk came here and passed by the treasure land. He was a little thirsty."

 “I want to ask for some water.”

　　…………

  【明】Inside the house.

Another nine years passed, and his second son passed away due to illness. His children all had their own lives and were naturally getting further and further away from him. However, he did not feel any sadness. He even said that these But it always seemed familiar to him.

 Strange yet familiar.

He closed his eyes, aged and about to die, sitting under the old tree where his parents held him when he was born.

He saw the trajectory of his life in his children. He treated his parents just as the children treated him; and the children treated their children as he treated them. At every moment, he would always be the same as his parents back then. Just like the children of the past.

 It’s like a circle, like a reincarnation.

He was under this withered old tree, closing his eyes, and saw his own life, the past of his parents, and the future of his children, and then it spread outwards, as if he saw all the lives of hundreds of thousands of endless sentient beings. , are all so round, when can we come out?

 He suddenly thought of the question that the Taoist always asked him before.

So he wanted to step out, and he asked deeply: "Yes, where are my beads?"

 He had a feeling of going back to the beginning.

 A longing emerged in his heart.

 Yes, where are my beads?

This longing was anxious and intense, making him turn around and return to the house. There were shadows of his parents everywhere. He opened boxes covered with dust, and each one contained the laughter of children. Finally, he I couldn't find my Buddhist beads, and I felt lost. At this moment, I heard the knocking of the monk outside.

 So he returned to the present world.

Suddenly he laughed: "Speaking of which, when I was born, I was robbed by a demon. At that time, a benefactor came here and knocked on my door, saying that he was thirsty and wanted to drink water..."

 “Is this also fate?”

 “When I was born, a Taoist came to ask for water.”

“When I should go, the monk came and knocked on the door.”

 He brought the water and when he opened the door, the old man inside saw the old monk outside.

 The old monk also saw him.

 One is to walk in the world, see countless people and countless Buddhas, ask three times and come three times, and gradually practice practice.

 The other one is a person who has lived a whole life seriously in this world, in this mortal world, and then finally can watch the flow of mortal world outside of mortal world.

 They met each other.

It was as if thunder from the sky struck and fell on the lava flowing out of the cracked chasm in the earth. In an instant, a huge roaring sound was born, and countless firelights burst out and illuminated each other.

At this moment, they felt a mysterious and beautiful feeling.

No words are needed. The moment they see each other, it seems to be an opportunity for the accumulation and understanding in each other's hearts to break through that threshold. Enlightenment is not achieved overnight, but has accumulated enough before that. Comprehension, and then waiting for this moment of meeting.

The old monk stretched out his hand and picked up a cold winter plum.

 And the old man smiled happily.

 Everything happens naturally.

 Taoist priest.

 I found my prayer beads.

 Why seeing the common people is like seeing the Buddha? Why are the Buddhas in the hearts of the common people?

So everything I have experienced in this life, everything I have done, and all the living beings I have seen, seem to have been perfectly explained in this smile. On the nine monuments, it seems that flowers are blooming, and this breath stretches, making the huge The tree of Yuqing swayed, and flowers bloomed one after another.

Two flowers bloom, one on each side.

 It means Zen, for enlightenment.

  means only knowledge, means gradual cultivation.

The golden lotus of luck in Buddhism has withered, but the flower of Buddhism in humanity is in full bloom!

 See the Buddha when the flowers bloom.

 The flowers bloom and see me.

Outside Hangu Pass, the old Taoist raised his eyes slightly, and the surging luck in his body suddenly circulated. He looked into the distance, as if the crops could only grow strong and strong after cutting off the weeds. Today, the dharma lineage of all Buddhas has been removed. six!

 Buddhism has three incarnations.

 Transform all the Buddhas into common people!

Looking from afar, the Taoist can see golden flowers blooming on the Yuqing tree.

 In his body, the extremely weak energy of heaven, earth, humans, gods, ghosts, and the five energies naturally merged with each other.

Three flowers gather at the top, and the five qi are toward the yuan.

 Lao Qingniu looked at him, his eyes widened: "Breakthrough?!!"

 “Huh? More than that!”

The Taoist's five qi have been combined, the three flowers gathered on the top, and the five qi are heading toward the yuan. However, it is not completed, but it seems to be just the beginning, like boiling oil, like clear water, completely boiling, and above the sky, the golden flow of luck is faintly visible. It transformed into a Taoist figure.

He wears a green shirt and holds a list of gods, the seal of Taiyi!

His expression is lofty and vast, and he walks down step by step.

 From heaven!

 And the Taoist people will eventually get along.

So the energy of Qi is majestic, so the actions of this body are finally completed, then the energy of suppressing the human world for a period of time finally returns, so the five Qi of heaven, earth, people, gods and ghosts are perfected in just an instant, and the practice reaches its peak, so this body, finally To the point of—

 Breakthrough!

 Breakthrough!
