I Am Immortal

Chapter 643 Zhenwu Yujing Zunshen, conferred the title of Five Elders

The Buddha returned for just one day and then left completely. But like a flame, before he left, he finally passed on his thoughts and will to his disciples. After this incident, although Buddhism was immersed in sadness, But he still had to sort out his mood, and still needed to entertain Emperor Zhenwu.

But also because of the scene of the Dharma discussion between Emperor Zhenwu and the Buddha, if these Buddhist disciples were still a little frightened before, now they also have more respect rising in their hearts. Qi Wuhuo let the other Bodhisattvas , King Kong went to do his own thing, leaving only Avalokitesvara and Randen Taoist.

The Taoist friend Qi Wuhuo had known each other since he was young, Ran Deng, looked sad at the moment. In that kind of sadness, he was not as depressed and gloomy as before. He seemed to have something to say, and said: " Emperor..."

Qi Wuhuo looked at him and understood what his old friend was thinking.

Ran Deng himself has traveled through the 17 lines of Buddhism. Because he was disappointed with the Buddhism of that era, he gave up Buddhism and practiced Taoism. At this moment, he saw the Buddha again and listened to the Buddha's lecture again. The sadness and regret in his heart were so complicated. Qi Wuzhuo can completely understand.

But after all, Ran Deng had been traveling with the Taoist for so many years. Suddenly he came here and was about to leave. He couldn't say anything. Qi Wuhuo suddenly smiled and said: "I just made an agreement with the Buddha..."

"When the Buddha left, he gave me the Bodhi seed. That Bodhi fruit has been a spiritual object for several kalpas. I don't know when it will mature. I don't know when it will fall. I still have it. We still have some things to do regarding the agreement we just made with fellow Taoist Buddha, so we have fellow Taoist Lao Ran Deng."

"Please help me look at this Bodhi fruit here. I don't know whether it is a hundred years or a thousand years."

 “You can tell me when it matures, okay?”

After these words fell, an ink-colored edict with a golden talisman in it condensed in the void.

He fell next to Ran Deng Taoist.

Taoist Ran Deng looked at the emperor in black clothes and sword in front of him, the expression in his eyes fluctuated, and finally he clasped his hands together and said: "I am a poor Taoist, thank you for your help..."

He said he was a poor Taoist, but he performed Buddhist rituals. After the ritual, he stood up, opened the door, and walked step by step towards the place where the Buddha passed away under the Bodhi tree. The other Buddhist disciples of all lines were originally He wanted to stop him, but there was an order beside Taoist Ran Deng.

 Such a great Buddha country, with seventeen lines of Dharma, countless disciples, Bodhisattvas, and Vajras.

Because of this edict, no one dared to stop it.

After a few steps, his body stagnated, with a look of fear and respect on his face, he clasped his hands together, just saluted, and watched as the man walked away with the order in hand.

In the most pure and comfortable place of Buddhism, Guanshiyin Bodhisattva sighed and said softly:

“Bodhi is Prajna, Prajna is Dharma, and Dharma is enlightenment.”

“What the emperor said is that when senior Ran Deng finally finds his own Prajna aura in this troubled state of mind, his Bodhi tree will mature. I will tell you at that time, I’m afraid it’s just a farewell.”

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva sighed with emotion. He did not sit down, but just stood in front, clasped his hands and said:

“The Buddhist country is so vast, I wonder what the emperor has to say to the poor monks here?”

Qi Wuhuo looked outside and said: "The Buddha reappeared and taught the true Dharma. Therefore, Buddhism has wiped out the extreme attachments of the original 17-line Buddha. However, judging from the understanding of fellow Taoists, the purity and uprightness of Buddhism can still be maintained. How much time?"

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva remained silent and said: "One calamity."

 He is the true king.

Even if the true king has a very deep foundation and a large enough foundation, he is expected to achieve great things in the future. At this moment, he is a true king after all. Regarding the formation, residence, and void of the final tribulation, and the rotation of the six tribulations, he only knows the surface and does not know the reality, so he still knows the surface. Take one calamity as time.

Avalokitesvara said: "The reason why Taoism is pure and upright is because there is more than one Taoism school, and it is not so narrow. Hundreds of schools of thought are scattered, each carrying a part of Tao. If circulated in this way, the overall purity will always be maintained. However, after this incident in Buddhism, There is only one Buddha left, Amitabha."

“This will inevitably lead to a single family. As time goes by, the Buddha will never come back.”

 There is much sadness in Guanshiyin's voice.

Emperor Zhenwu said: "Buddhism needs to be diverted. Fellow Taoist Guanshiyin, follow the teacher's agreement..." His voice paused, thinking of the Yuchen Daojun who had left freely, his voice calmed down, and he said: "And to express my gratitude to the Buddha. , I will promise Buddhism a stable environment, and for the sake of Buddhism’s purity, a line needs to be separated.”

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva seemed to understand something, put his hands together, gave a slight salute, and said:

 “Poor monk, I understand.”

Emperor Zhenwu Dangmo nodded slightly. He stood up and left. He went to find Amitabha. He sat and talked for three hours. When he left, Buddhists gathered together.

Emperor Zhenwu decreed that Amitabha Buddha be the Buddha of the present world and Maitreya Bodhisattva the Buddha of the future.

In front of the Bodhi Tree in the Buddhist Kingdom, on the most magnificent hall, the Bodhisattva Vajras of the 17 Buddhas stand here solemnly, listening to Manjusri Bodhisattva read out the edict just written by Emperor Zhenwu Zhentian, respecting the identity of Amitabha. , brushed away the seventeen meridians, and Buddhism returned to one.

 Calling Amitabha Buddha - [Lord Buddha]

 At the same time, it was announced that Maitreya Bodhisattva would be the future Buddha.

　　　! !

Many Bodhisattvas in Buddhism raised their heads in astonishment and looked at the highest point. In front of the pure and comfortable Buddha light in Buddhism, Emperor Zhenwu stood there calmly, wearing black clothes under and a wide-sleeved robe on the outside. The simple magic weapon was pressed against the ground. , looking down with calm eyes, on the left and right are Amitabha Buddha and Maitreya Bodhisattva.

 The Buddha of this world and the Buddha of the future bowed in unison, with complex expressions on their faces and sighs:

 “Thank you for the emperor’s order.”

 The meaning of this edict is already very clear, because out of respect for the sacrifice of the Buddha, Heavenly Court and Zhenwudai Buddha promised the stability of Buddhism.

 But if one day Buddhism repeats the same mistake, Maitreya will be made the Buddha again.

 At that time, Maitreya was the present Buddha, and Heaven would naturally choose a future Buddha.

  It is a choice.

It is an edict, which means that Buddhism will soon become one of the major forces under the command of heaven. It means that when the Jade Emperor gives an order, all the Buddhas in Buddhism will go to listen to the call. In the past, although the Buddhist kingdom was slightly weaker, it was still An independent six-realm power is completely different.

 But they did not dare to refute.

In the great Buddhist country, the seventeen lines of Buddhism have been in a state of decline since the beginning of the Buddha in the prosperous period. All of this happened with the rise of the Zhenwudang Demon Emperor. It was his Zhenwudang Demon Sword that killed all the people. Buddha withered.

Such an order is not chilling, just plain, with an indescribable majesty and majesty. The Buddhist Bodhisattvas and King Kong looked at the Zhenwu Emperor, and seemed to have hallucinations for a moment. The black-robed Emperor in front of them seemed to become Incomparably tall and magnificent, as high as the heaven and the earth, the figures of the two Buddhas became small.

He sat there, with the sky pressing down, and the Buddhist monks seemed to be unable to see his face. They could only see his waist below, and above that, only his dark and oppressive outline was left, as if there was no moon or stars. Under the towering mountains and rivers under the dark night, his hands are placed on both sides of the throne, and his sleeves and robes are rolled up.

 An ink-colored snake is wrapped around his wrist, breathing out energy that is at the level of a true king.

 Haunted, terrible!

The terrifying and boundless oppression made all living beings in the Buddhist Kingdom feel their scalps numb. This terrifying aura almost made them subconsciously recall the Arctic Emperor Ziwei. At this time, the sky unicorn stepped into the void and said in his mouth Breathing thunder, the black-robed emperor stood up and said calmly:

 “Everyone.”

“Pursuing all good deeds and refraining from all evil deeds.”

  “Please bear in mind.”

Boom! !

Thunder flashed and illuminated the Buddha Kingdom. The four directions lit up for an instant, and then gave people the illusion of being extremely dark. When the vision returned to normal, the emperor holding the sword could no longer be seen. There were three figures above the sky. The Qilin chariot and carriage guarded by thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals left in a mighty manner.

 Only in this Buddha land, everything is silent.    ………

 A few days later—

Lingxiao Palace.

Qi Wuhuo informed the Jade Emperor of all the matters, and Zhang Xiaoyu said: "...Buddha used his body as a raft to save the common people and pass on this glimmer of hope to "completely save the common people". It is indeed worthy of respect. In this case, Buddhism has come, so also There should be an edict."

 “It’s just what you said.”

 “Below the four emperors, and above the masters of each department, add another person who has nothing to do with the realm, but has a big enough name—”

 “Yu Jing, what do you think is better?”

 “Emperor, Yu, Qing, and Jun are all already there.”

Emperor Zhenwu held a volume in his hand and looked outside calmly. For some reason, he suddenly remembered what Zhuang Zhou said when he was naughty and teasing Qiu's disciples, and said: "Old man, longevity, respect and respect. "

“Since it is a status that has nothing to do with realm, let’s just call it [老].”

Emperor Zhenwu put down the file at will. The file in his hand fell into the void, as if it was as weightless as fallen leaves and white snow. It floated down and landed on the Jade Emperor's table. The Jade Emperor raised his head, but the black robe was gone. Zhenwu smiled slightly, looked at the file, and said to himself:

 “One emperor, three emperors, four emperors, well, how old do you need to be?”

 “Three, four, five.”

“Just set up a person named [Five Elders].”

 “That’s all, just do as Yu Jing said.”

 He casually wrote the edict in this file.

 [All dharma in the West, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, holy monks, and Arhats in the West] are combined into one.

According to what Zhenwu Qi Wuhuo said, he was specially named Nanhai Guanshiyin as the first elder.

With such two lines, Buddhism can maintain itself, which is at least better than being dominated by one family.

Zhang Xiaoyu thought about this, paused slightly, looked at the direction his friend was leaving, suddenly smiled slightly, and put down his pen.

 【Northern Arctic Xuanling Zhenwu Emperor】 is also an old man.

In this way, the five elders get the three elders, and the positions of the remaining two are empty.

The Jade Emperor put the jade pen in his hand on the table and looked at his friend's back fading away, but there was an instinctive feeling of loneliness in his heart. He really wanted to keep him here, in this heaven. In the palace, I am willing to give him all the treasures to continuously elevate his status and elevate him again.

 But the more he acted like this, the more he felt like he was in a dark place—

　　I can't keep him.

 Just like the words he said when he left Sanqing in the human world.

 “A true martial artist born in response to a calamity...?”

They were not born for the sake of disaster, but naturally stood out from the series of disasters that swept through countless people in the six realms.

  ………

After Qi Wuhuo left the Lingxiao Palace, his mood was a bit complicated. He sighed and went to look for his teacher, but he couldn't find him. He walked all the way to Daluo Heaven, but the three Taoist ancestors were missing. Daluo was originally a pure and comfortable Daluo. Tianmiluo Palace and Yuxu Palace disappeared.

Even the senior sister, Our Lady of Taiyuan, who was always waiting here in the past, is not here today.

Even the members of the Sanqing Sect were here, and they were also surprised and puzzled. When they saw the Zhenwu Emperor, they rushed to salute him. However, when he asked about the reason for this place, he didn't know. Qi Wuhuo looked at the scenery in the sky of Daluo, and the Qi of the Emperor It has been circulated all over the body, and there is only one step left to reach the true realm.

He can already feel it, the ripples behind the void. With his current state, he can cut off all the curtains and ripples in front of him with just one sword, and then he can see the real Da Luotian behind these ripples. , but he did not do so.

The teacher has never seen him before and doesn't want to see him. He doesn't need to explain what happened in the past now.

 The Taoist stood there in the sky for a long time, and finally bowed deeply.

　　Turn around, walk in the void, and walk away step by step.

 In this great Luotian, the Taoist ancestors of the Three Qing Dynasties looked at each other, and they all sighed. Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun said lightly: "Wuhuo didn't cut the ripples into it, otherwise, it would be hard to say anything."

Shangqing Daodaojun raised his hand to rub the center of his eyebrows. Yuchen Daodaojun returned to his original energy and returned to his true nature.

 I also have a headache at the moment.

At this stage, Qi Wuhuo seems to be even more troublesome than Taiyi's rescue.

His Majesty stroked his beard and said with a smile: "He has been standing here for several days."

　　　“He has accomplished all that I have wished for.”

 “Why do the two fellow Taoists do this?”

The two Taoist ancestors both looked at each other, sighed, and said with a sense of relief:

  “So.”

Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun paused, and then said: "However, I have deduced that there seems to be a catastrophe next... and this catastrophe involves you and me. How about it? Do we want to follow the trend?"

The Supreme Being stroked his beard and said calmly: "Why do you need to ask, fellow Taoist?"

Shangqing Daodaojun pressed his sword and said:

“Since it was aimed at you and me, I should have chopped it off with one sword!”

 “But, just for this time…”

 “It’s as long as ‘his’ wish is fulfilled.”

The Taoist Patriarch of the Sanqing Dynasty's eyes were calm, but when Qi Wuhuo returned to Zhenwu Mansion, he did not see Emperor Wa, but he saw the green-shirted weapon spirit. The drinker Qi Ling nodded slightly, but the latter was excited and said: "Zhenwu Great Emperor, no confusion, no confusion!"

He seemed to be overjoyed and his tone was a little confused. Finally, he simply stopped talking and raised his hand:

 “Honored Lord!”

 “It’s news from the Lord!”

 “He’s coming back soon!”
