I Am Immortal

Chapter 656: You, me, and Buddha

Qi Wuhuo did not wait for the return of Ming Xin. After waiting for a few days in the Lianyang Temple, in other words, he was not waiting deliberately. Everything happened naturally. Tao rhyme.

Yang Jian asked: "Where is the emperor going? Do you need Jian to accompany you to protect him?"

Yang Jian has a calm and calm personality, and he knows that the strength of Emperor Zhenwu is unparalleled in the world.

 The leader of the royal family who came up from the fight.

His growth trajectory can really wipe out all the demons with just one sentence.

The Great Emperor of Antarctic Immortality is not willing to have a head-on conflict with the emperor, let alone those under his command?

Over the years, Yang Jian has tracked down and arrested various back-up men under the Antarctic Immortal Emperor. There are countless gods and demons who worship Immortality. Especially recently, he has discovered that the Immortality sects that have been almost completely suppressed in the human world have resurfaced. .

At this moment, I am worried that the news that [Bodhisattva] is about to mature will come out, attracting those evil spirits who do not know what is good or bad. If **** disturbs the mind, behaves randomly, and blocks the road near the Buddha's land, it is not good.

There is nothing wrong with pursuing immortality, but it is worthy of death to risk everything for the sake of immortality and to support oneself with the common people.

This group of demons would be as good as death. If it disturbed the emperor's driving, it was a blame.

What kind of things can these gods, demons and evildoers do for the sake of immortality?

Emperor Zhenwu looked at him and said in a calm tone: "Since we want to go together, why not walk a part of the way together."

Yang Jian had a look of joy in his eyes, and then he saluted and said, "Yes!"

Walking slowly all the way out of the snow-covered Zhongzhou City, it seemed that he was not in a hurry to go to the Buddhist Kingdom in the West. He was just walking casually. Yang Jian turned into a carriage and came out. The black-robed emperor sat in it, and the heroic young **** general sat in it. Next to the carriage, whips are waving, and what you see as you move forward is that the world is extremely peaceful.

In these thousand years, the human world has been extremely prosperous, and with hundreds of schools of thought, the web of human destiny, with the human beings and gods at the top enshrined by the gods, and the underworld gods at the bottom, the human world has been created into an extremely stable state, but if there is When demons flee, military strategists and students will form formations to kill them in a short time.

At present, the relationship between the human world and heaven is harmonious, but when the gods from heaven come down to earth, they have to report to heaven and inform the human world before they can transform into humans and travel around in this world of mortals. Therefore, in this great world, although there are some minor There were twists and turns, but there was unprecedented stability.

It’s just that Yang Jian doesn’t know why the world is so powerful and will become even more powerful in the future.

 Why is the emperor's eyes so dark?

 It seems that because of this kind of prosperity, will it cause any problems?

 Is he the Antarctic Immortal Emperor?

As a divine general who participated in the thousand-year struggle between the north and the south, Yang Jian had a vague premonition that the contradiction between the two emperors was irreconcilable, and the battle between the great avenues was not far away from breaking out. However, the existence of the Antarctic Immortal Emperor would make Emperor Zhenwu like this Do you value it?

Yang Jian has always had a quiet inner wisdom. Among the gods in the heaven, he was the leader, but he didn’t ask. The carriage drove forward, faster and faster. When passing a lake, the emperor closed his eyes and said: "Stop." Just take a moment."

 The two strange beasts stopped for a moment, and Yang Jian said: "Emperor?"

Emperor Zhenwu looked out of the car and said in a gentle tone, "But he is an old friend."

He got off the transformed carriage, followed closely by Yang Jian. With a sweep of his sleeves and robes, the carriage behind him instantly turned into Yuan Qi and dissipated into the void. There was originally thunder in the sky, but When Emperor Zhenwu appeared, the thunder suddenly subsided.

Yang Jian saw two old monks yelling at each other in front of him.

These two monks are old and have low cultivation. They seem to be dying of old age, but they have great spirit. This one is scolding you as a stupid man, and the other one is shouting that you are a bald donkey and noisy. He got up and seemed to be planning to fight. If the two old monks hadn't already reached the end of their lifespan, they might have started fighting on the spot.

 Now we just curse each other for a while, sit there breathing heavily, each unconvinced.

This one yelled and scolded: "The saints are forgetful and their emotions are exposed. I don't think you are a Buddhist, but a donkey and a horse!"

The other one replied: "Oh shit, I don't think you are a Buddhist practitioner, nor a donkey or a horse, nor a sentient being in this world."

“If he looks like a Buddhist practitioner, then he has a certain appearance, but what’s the difference between him and a donkey and a horse?”

The two yelled at each other, and Yang Jian went to ask, but he learned that the two monks were from the same hometown and practiced Buddhism together. However, the two of them had not followed the same path at all, and they had quarreled since childhood. Now that they are old and dying, each of them chooses a direction according to Buddhist teachings and decides where to bury his bones.

 One took a copper coin as a token, and the other took a silver needle as a token.

But I never thought that the two people bumped into each other here again, so they started arguing and arguing. In the past, they had all kinds of 'grievances' and disputes. At this moment, they asked Yang Jian for comment. Yang Jian took a closer look and used his magical power. At this moment, They found the copper coins and tokens everywhere, but when they saw them, they were both speechless.

The copper coin is here, and the silver needle is inserted right into the hole in the middle of the copper coin.

Yang Jian said gently: "It seems that the Dharma of the two is about the same."

The two elderly monks saw the young man's magnanimity. They thanked him first, and then looked away. When they saw the man in black robes and jade crown over there, they were both a little shocked and asked: "Are you... so magnanimous?" , could it be that some immortal saint is in front of you?"

The black-robed emperor had the joking heart of his youth and replied gently: "What is a saint?"

 The two old monks looked at each other and both replied:

“Fundamental wisdom, purity, emptiness, and harmony without hindrance can lead to the supreme wonderful state.”

The emperor replied: "Since the fundamental wisdom is emptiness and silence, there is no holiness to speak of."

 “Isn’t it?”

The two old monks were stunned and speechless when asked directly. They pondered for a long time. One of them suddenly touched his palms and smiled and said: "If so, who is this person in front of us?"

 Another old monk shook his head and laughed: "I don't know, I don't know!"

The black-robed emperor smiled gently and said, "It's okay if you don't know me."

"You two have become more diligent in Dharma than before. The winter here is very cold, so it is not a place to stay for a long time."

 “It’s better to [go early].”

 “Hahaha, thank you so much.”

Emperor Zhenwu smiled gently, stood up and left. When the two monks saw his appearance, they no longer agreed to answer. They just looked at each other and each said with a smile: "We are going."

 “I’m going to die.”

 “To die is to go.”

 “To go is not to die.”

“If you and I have an afterlife, we should still argue and yell like this life. If you are a mouse, I will be a green snake, and I will eat you, old monk!”

“Ha, if you were a green snake, I would be an eagle and I would catch you and take you to heaven.”

 “I’ll throw you on the stone!”

“If you are a goshawk, I will be a soaring dragon.”

"You can be a soaring dragon with your appearance, and I can be a holy monk." "Hahahaha, if you become a holy monk, old monk, I will definitely strip off your cassocks, burn your scriptures, and drive you out of the mountain. I also want you to be a bald ass!"

The two monks laughed at each other, but the sound of laughter and scolding gradually became fainter, and the words they spoke did not sound like two Buddhist practitioners. The black-robed emperor saw his old friend and walked away. Yang Jian followed closely and turned around. It seems that the friendship between the two can be seen from the laughter and scolding of the two people, and the Buddha's light can be faintly seen flowing in the void. There is Jialan Bodhisattva, accompanied by the Four Seasons Gong Cao, whose brilliance is dazzling, saying:

 "Emperors, they are..."

Emperor Zhenwu did not look back, but said calmly: "They are two old friends."

 “Old friend?”

“Well, one is the reincarnation of the Medicine Master Glazed Light Tathagata, and the other is the incarnation of the golden cicada in front of the Buddha.”

Emperor Zhenwu said the name in an understatement that made Yang Jian feel sluggish. The young man turned around and looked at the monks who were still shouting and scolding each other in the distance, and said: "These two are still reincarnating. ?"

“It’s not reincarnation, it’s cultivation.”

 “How many times has this happened…”

 “How many times? Who knows?”

Emperor Zhenwu said softly, bidding farewell to his old friend. The two monks behind him gradually stopped yelling at each other. One of them clasped his hands together, looked arrogant, and laughed loudly:

 “Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and regard all things as stupid dogs.”

 “The saint is unkind and treats the common people as stupid dogs.”

“It is unkind to rely on a stick, and treat all the Buddhas of the three dynasties, the four saints and the six ordinary beings as stupid dogs.”

These three sentences have the flavor of Zen, but they just fall into the void. Then he whispered: "The spring sun shines in front of the woman, destroys the frost and snow behind the mausoleum."

 “Cut the crane and continue the duck, break the balance and cut the bucket.”

 “I am so exhausted that I am stuck at the base of the wall, but I am laughing so loudly that I can’t help but laugh at others’ mouths.”

 The other old monk had a gentle look on his face, looking at the Bibo Pond in front of him, and said:

 “When the bottom of the barrel is lifted off, the earth is vast, and the place where the root of life is cut off is clear and clear.”

 “It’s good to put some red stove snow…”

 “Scattered as a night light in the world.”

Two monks struggling in the cycle of reincarnation, with Buddha mind and perseverance, and practicing in the confusion of reincarnation, looked at each other. Not every life can lead to enlightenment of Buddhism, and there are also times when they are confused. It is rare to meet like today, and suddenly they suddenly They clasped their hands together, the anger on their faces disappeared, and they were just calm, and they replied:

 “Where do you want to go, fellow practitioners?”

“The world is like a sea, and I can’t get out of it. Where can I come and go?”

 “No going, no coming back!”

 After laughing several times and losing their breath, the two Buddhist practitioners passed away again.

 Waiting for the next spiritual awakening, I don’t know whether it will be several years, ten years, or hundreds of years later, or maybe I will never wake up again.

Without great fearlessness, this Dharma cannot be practiced; without great compassion, this Dharma cannot be practiced.

Yang Jian was shocked in his heart.

Emperor Zhenwu walked forward. Yang Jian was thoughtful and realized that the emperor came here to meet his old friends.

 It’s not just for the bodhi fruit.

However, since the emperor was in such a state and acted so lofty, he could no longer understand everything, so he simply put all these doubts behind his mind, and as the emperor moved forward, he summoned the chariot again to move forward.

Not a moment later, we were in front of the Buddhist Kingdom. The Buddha's light was flowing, and the spiritual mountain was pure. Even the now famous Qingyuan Miao Dao Zhenjun was solemn in his heart. This Buddhist Kingdom is a place with a high-level emperor realm. In terms of power, Lord Buddha is at the level of the Five Elders.

 When he came here in the past, he would always be led in by an Arhat.

 Today is different.

Yang Jian was about to pass on the command talisman.

But before he could pass on the spiritual talisman to enter, inside the Buddhist gate, there was a huge stream of light, and suddenly there was a loud and loud voice of chanting sutras. The Lingshan Buddhist Kingdom's barrier formation unexpectedly unfolded together, and then the Buddha's light in front changed, and there were Vajras and Arhats. , the Bodhisattvas all lined up on both sides of the Lingshan Road with their hands clasped, their feet on lotus flowers, and golden light.

The goddess scatters flowers, and golden lotuses bloom on the ground.

The dragon and elephant roared, and the Buddhist gods held lotus petals in their hands and scattered them. The golden light was magnificent, and the white rainbow circulated, reflecting hundreds of miles. The magnificence was astonishing.

Even Yang Jian’s calm personality was shaken by such a formation, and he couldn’t help but say:

"Emperor...don't you always dislike these things?"

The elegant and pure emperor, wearing a black robe and a jade crown, sat peacefully in the chariot and said calmly:

"I do not mind."

 “But if I am not treated like this.”

 “In a Buddhist country, one would feel uneasy because of this.”

 In a Buddhist country, one would feel uneasy because of this...

Yang Jian murmured these seven words in a low voice in his heart. He felt the turmoil of the past and felt a heavy weight. He couldn't help but feel a little excited. He looked at this Buddhist country, but he didn't know what he would do in the future. , can we also get to this step?

 While I was thinking in my mind, I saw in front of me a great emperor, one of the five elders in heaven.

Lord Buddha Amitabha personally welcomed him down. On the left was the future Buddha Maitreya Bodhisattva. They all welcomed him down and said:

“I didn’t know that Emperor Zhentian was coming here, and the poor monk was a little distant to greet him. Please forgive me for my sins.”

 The rest of the Bodhisattvas, dragons, elephants, and Vajras all bowed in unison.

 But inside the Buddhist kingdom where the Buddha's light circulates, it is still pure and peaceful.

Under the bodhi tree, Taoist Ran Deng opened his eyes.

He raised his eyes to look at the shining, ripe Bodhi fruit, and said softly:

 “Has the time come?”

 “The emperor has arrived.”
