Chapter 664 The reincarnation of life and death is just an appearance
Chen Shi and Zhong Wuwei were doubtful. They clearly saw the dim and unclear world of Wufang from high in the sky, and they also felt that this world was full of corruption and resentment, as well as entangled disasters, which were difficult to sort out.
There must be something fishy in this, and it cannot be the rumors from the outside world that Monk Zhengyi and Tianyan Arhat said.
Zhong Wuwang thought: "What's more, this is the place where I practice Buddhism. Many Buddhist masters come here every year. If it is just a rumor, it is impossible for so many people to come."
Chen Shi smiled and said: "Don't worry, the establishment of the Buddhist Kingdom is your credit. We will not snatch it from you. We are just observing the ceremony."
Monk Zhengyi smiled and said: "It's not that I'm afraid that you will share the credit, but our master and disciples have been preparing for a long time to turn the Wotuo Kingdom into a Buddhist Kingdom. It took many years of planning to achieve the merits of the Buddha Kingdom. I don’t think this merit is great, but if we share it with you, it will be small.”
"They are from Lingshan Tathagata. Lingshan Tathagata is the current Buddha and is not easily offended. And the old monk looks evil. Could it be Tathagata's uncle? I heard that Tathagata's origin is not right and he was born by a monster. His uncle is not a good person either. How about letting them come to watch the ceremony?"
"The status of the Medicine Master Buddha is not as good as that of the Tathagata Buddha in the Western Heaven, so let's give in."
The two have decided on the plan, and the monk Zhengniu smiled and said: "That's fine. You three, please come with us."
The two walked out of the town and soared into the sky, using their ability to reach the end of the world. Thousands of rivers and mountains flowed by their feet at a very fast speed.
They had the intention to embarrass Chen Shi and the others, but when they looked back, they saw the three men behind them. Only then did they realize that these three men were very capable.
Chen Shi asked quietly: "Er Niu, aren't these two monks from Lingshan Mountain like you?"
Zhong Wuwang shook his head and said: "There are different Buddhas in the Western Heaven, and each Buddha has different jurisdictions. They are from Medicine Buddha. ,
And I came from Tathagata, and I belong to different jurisdictions. There are tens of thousands of similar jurisdictions, and these jurisdictions together form the Western Heaven. "
Chen Shi was shocked, is the Western Heaven so huge?
This scale is the largest force outside the heaven!
"How did Xitian convince the Great Heavenly Lord that they would never rebel?" Chen Shi thought.
"That's right, the Great Heavenly Lord has never believed it." He said in his heart.
"Do you think these two monks are weird?" Chen Shi asked.
Zhong Wuwang shook his head and said: "I can't tell. Even if there are weird things, it doesn't matter. My master is here to keep us safe."
The old monk said: "These two monks look normal and have nothing to say, but they are still worried that others will take advantage of them. They are our monks from the West."
Chen Shidao: "Just now when we were in the sky, we saw the Buddha's light disappearing. It should be that the monks who came here were not good at Dharma and were swallowed up by the resentment here. It can be seen that this place is extremely dangerous. After we came here, everything was as normal. "Isn't this strange?"
Hence the words, Zhong Wuwang soared into the sky and came to the sky again. Looking down, he saw the green mountains and green waters of this world, and there was no deep resentment.
"Weird, really weird!"
Zhong Wuwu has profound attainments in the Dharma and inspires the Buddha's light to shine on the earth, but there is nothing special about him, so he secretly wonders in his heart.
In just a moment, they arrived at the imperial city of Wotuo Kingdom and arrived in front of the court meeting.
The Lord of the Wotuo Kingdom has already led hundreds of civil and military officials to wait. He bowed and said, "Two eminent men, how polite you are." That's polite. The young monk made an agreement with the king before, and once the three thousand meritorious deeds are completed, the whole country will become a Buddhist country. Now, the young monk has completed the three thousand meritorious deeds, and I hope the king will keep his promise."
The Lord of Wotuo Kingdom was delighted and said: "The two great virtues actually accomplished three thousand meritorious deeds, which is admirable. Our Wotuo Kingdom also keeps its word. From today on, all other temples and Taoist temples in our Wotuo Kingdom will be abolished. They do not believe in the Three Pure Ones, the Jade Emperor, and the gods. Today Starting from today, we will build Buddhist temples widely, spread Buddhism widely, and accumulate good virtues."
Monk Zhengyi and Tianyan Arhat were very happy. Tianyan Arhat said: "We still need to hold a Dharma Realm holy and ordinary water and land Purdue Great Fast Meeting to help the six realms and save all the dead souls in the three realms."
The Lord of the Wotuo Kingdom asked for advice: "How to arrange this Dharma Realm Saint Ordinary Water and Land Purdue Great Fast Meeting?"
Tianyan Arhat said: "Forty-eight eminent monks and great virtues are needed to set up seven altars, including the inner altar, the big altar, and the Huayan Altar. They will have clear boundaries and hang banners from the three realms to summon the souls of all living beings to the meeting. They will also need to give alms and provide fast meals. This food is not for people to eat, but for ghosts. When the ghosts are full and drunk, they will be saved and enter the six realms of reincarnation. ”
The Lord of Wotuo was overjoyed and said with a smile: “This is a blessing for our country! I immediately ordered people to invite eminent monks and eminent men to arrange various altars! The two eminent men are waiting for my good news!”
He sent orders to the civil and military officials to prepare quickly, and also ordered people to search for eminent monks and eminent virtues in the country to participate in the grand event.
Soon, everyone in Wotuo Kingdom heard about this land and water ashram, and also heard that the king wanted Wotuo Kingdom to become a Buddhist country. The whole country believed in Buddhism. For a while, some people were happy and some were worried.
Officials of the Wotuo Kingdom went around cutting down mountains and destroying temples, and conquered other faiths. For those who believed in other gods, the temples would be smashed,
The golden bodies would be melted, and everything hanging on the walls and offered in niches would be destroyed.
The believers were also captured and used as slaves to build new temples and build new Buddha statues.
The temples everywhere are magnificent and resplendent. As the saying goes, people rely on clothing and Buddha relies on gold clothing. These Buddha statues are covered with gold and silver, and their bodies must also be plated with gold. The gold in the Wotuo Kingdom is not enough, so the people are asked to use all the things they wear on their bodies, those in their mouths, and those buried in tombs to make gold clothing for the Buddha.
For a time, everyone in the Wotuo Kingdom believed in Buddhism, worshiped the Buddha, and was extremely pious.
Seven major altars, including the inner and outer ones, were also built. The monks of Righteousness and Tianyan Arhats also showed their holiness in front of people, built a Buddhist kingdom, cast spells to bring down rain from the sky, and washed the fertile land. Frequent visions occurred in various places, flowers fell from the sky, and golden springs gushed from the ground.
Everyone praises the Buddha and thinks it is a miracle.
On the seventh day, the water and land monastery was ready. Lord Wotuo invited dozens of eminent monks from various places. Many of them were obviously from the West. They were accompanied by Arhats or Vajras. There were also a few monks who were accompanied by Bodhisattvas and had solemn treasures.
Chen Shi even saw a familiar face, a monk who came with him on the same boat, and he was also invited over.
Wotuo Country is a medium-sized country in the Wufang world. This time, it is definitely a big event to put down other gods and only respect Buddhism. This has also attracted many monks from the West.
The monks gathered together, and the Three Realms Soul-Calling Flags were made, so they began to hold the Great Purity Festival on Water and Land.
Accompanying the singing of Buddha's music, I saw Buddha's light falling from the sky near the capital, showing one big Buddha, and the Holy Land of the West,
The Pure Land of Paradise, various strange phenomena were also seen in mountain springs, streams, lakesides, rivers and seas in various places. Golden lotus gushes out from the spring, Buddha's light shines into the sky, dead trees bloom, the dead are resurrected, and all kinds of supernatural phenomena are spread a lot.
As long as the monks who participate in the water and land dojo, they will see great merits and virtues coming to them, making their cultivation stronger and stronger.
Among them, the monk Zhengyi even broke through the Tao realm one after another and upgraded his cultivation from the first Tao realm to the third Tao realm. The speed was so fast that even Chen Shi could not catch up with him.
Chen Shi, Zhong Wuwang and the old monk did not participate in the waterway ashram, but watched with cold eyes.
They saw the Buddha's light annihilating the monk's death in the air, and they were deeply suspicious of the scene before them.
It's just that the water and land monastery was held extremely smoothly, and the Wotuo Kingdom has also evolved into a Buddhist kingdom. The Buddha's light has saved all living beings, and the Buddha's Dharma has been promoted. The cultivation level of the monks and others has also been rising steadily. Even the Tianyan Arhat's cultivation level has also increased greatly, and he is ready to improve himself to a higher level!
After practicing to his level, it is extremely difficult to advance to a higher realm. I never expected that a Buddhist country would have such great achievements!
Even though the old monk is well-informed about these benefits, he is also a little excited at this moment.
His realm has been trapped for a long time, otherwise he would not have come up with the idea of using the Yin and Yang cylinders to find disciples and relying on his disciples to become enlightened.
Although Zhong Wuwang taught him the Yin and Yang Tao methods in the past few years and helped him improve his cultivation, the speed was still not fast enough after all.
The merit gained from evolving into a Buddhist kingdom directly improves his cultivation. He has heard about it for a long time, and now that he sees it with his own eyes, he is even more excited.
"Good disciple, Fellow Daoist Chen, why don't we also join this water and land dojo and share a share of his pie."
The old monk suggested, "If we can make great progress in our cultivation through this, save the time. It is also a good thing to practice hard for thousands of years. Even if it is not possible, doing good deeds is still meritorious."
Chen Shi and Zhong Wuwu shook their heads together and refused in unison.
Zhong Wuwang said: "Master, this place is by no means a good place. Don't trust him easily! There is definitely a pit in it!"
Chen Shi also said: "Brother Dao, there is something weird in this place. Let's wait and see what happens. Don't take it lightly."
The old monk was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and scolded: "You You two are too careful! What pit have I not seen in my life? I have gained merit and my cultivation has been greatly improved! You two are so careful that you can’t get anything!”
Tianyan Arhat saw this and hurriedly said: "Elder, you said that you will not divide our merits-"
"That's a long way to go!"
The old monk beat him up so hard that Tianyan Arhat's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he did not dare to say anything anymore.
The old monk also felt that his cultivation was gradually increasing, and he was happy in his heart: "Fellow Daoist Chen and my disciple are two tough guys, and they are too timid. With such courage, how can I kill Tathagata himself and become the Buddha? I will get this merit and kill him on Lingshan Mountain in the future, so that Tathagata can move his butt and become my nephew."
Chen Shi and Zhong Wuwang continued to observe.
They also noticed the improvement of the old monk's cultivation. They were not envious at all when the two old gods were there.
"We have seen a lot of strange things in Xiniu Xinzhou. Although this kind of thing is weird, it is not surprising." Chen Shi said.
Zhong Wuwang said: "Everything changes and never departs from its origin. Any strange thing will eventually reveal its true form. As long as you have patience, you can see the end."
Chen Shi smiled and said: "The water and land ashram lasted for seven days, is it almost the seventh day?"
The seventh day is the fasting day. On this day, running water banquets are held throughout the country, but this banquet is not for living people to eat, but for ghosts to eat, so that the ghosts can be full and enter the six realms of reincarnation.
The seventh day soon came.
Feasts were held all over the country, with incense and candles placed in front of various delicacies.
On this day, many monks also pushed the land and water monastery to the extreme. Each monk had a golden light on his face, a halo formed by the Buddha's light behind his head, a strange fragrance around his body, and a golden lotus under his seat. Their bodies became larger and larger, like a true Buddha sitting in front of the world.
Today is the day when Wotuo Country becomes a Buddhist country. The whole country is celebrating, lights and colors are everywhere, and Buddhist music can be heard everywhere.
People were extremely happy to celebrate this rare victory.
Chen Shi and Zhong Wuwang stood in the air, looking around, but found nothing unusual.
The physical body of the monk Zhengniu has been transformed tremendously by the blessing of merit. Sitting there, he is as tall as the two people in the sky.
At this time, the Buddha's light gathered around him, and the Buddha's light gradually formed the shape of six reincarnations. The six wheels of light carry different mysteries, each rotating and connecting the three realms!
In the three realms, the six life forms of gods, humans, Shura, hell, evil ghosts and animals have turned into six avenues of reincarnation!
Zhong Wuwang had never seen such Taoist attainments even in the Buddha at Lingshan!
Across the Wotuo Kingdom, other monks also revealed the Six Paths of Reincarnation, shrouding the Wotuo Kingdom.
The monk Zhengyi said in a thunderous voice: "Now is the end of the victory meeting. Wotuo country is about to become a Buddhist country, and the greatest merit is about to come. Why don't the two brothers join us and share this merit?"
Chen Shi smiled and said: "You didn't want us to share the merits before, why are you willing to share the merits now?" Because of my own greed. But after six days of blessings from the Shenghui, my state of mind has reached the Buddha state, and I am happy to share it.” It’s a meal for ghosts, and ghosts from all over the country come to enjoy the meal, and then enter the six realms of reincarnation. But it’s been so long, and not even a ghost can be seen in the dojo. Is it because there are no ghosts in Wotuo country, or is this dojo a mistake?”
Chen Shi looked around the Wotuo Kingdom and saw that people all over the country were holding celebrations, singing and dancing, but not a single ghost appeared to eat food!
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the singing and dancing people put down their lanterns and jumped off the stilts. They no longer danced with dragons and lions, and no longer beat gongs and drums. Instead, they rushed towards the vegetarian dishes and rice on the street with smiles on their faces, grabbed the food with their hands, and stuffed it into their mouths like evil ghosts!
There are also those old people who grab candles and eat them with a crunching sound, like eating crispy cucumbers.
The Lord of Wotuo was so happy that he sat in the fasting meal, ate and drank, and shouted, "When you are full, you can enter reincarnation!"
The monk Zhengyi was stunned and didn't know what was happening.
Chen Shi and Zhong Wuwang were also horrified to see hundreds of millions of people throughout the Wotuo Kingdom, regardless of whether they were monks or not, whether women, children, old or young, feasting happily at this moment.
While they were enjoying the food given to ghosts, their faces and bodies gradually became distorted, becoming hideous and dripping with blood.
When they were full, they jumped up one by one, threw themselves at the six realms of reincarnation of the monks, and shouted: "Now it's good to be reincarnated and get rid of the suffering of reincarnation!"
The dozens of eminent monks and virtuous men who were presiding over the meeting were all shaken. They felt that countless ghosts and ghosts were thrown into their six paths of reincarnation, and the reincarnations under their control were filled in an instant!
Those reincarnations were overwhelmed and collapsed,
Countless ghosts fell from the reincarnation, like rolling dust, and countless voices shouted and shouted: "Reincarnation is of no use! You bunch of bald donkeys lied to us and cannot save us!"
They stood up and rushed towards the monks.
The monks looked fearful and wanted to fly into the air and get away from this place, but they were grabbed by palms and pulled out.
The Buddha's light around them quickly dimmed, and their golden bodies rotted. They were pulled and fell into the group of ghosts, and were bitten by the group of ghosts. Soon, they were bitten until they were bloody and their bones were visible!
Beside Chen Shi and Zhong Shiwan, the monks with righteous thoughts stared blankly at this scene and murmured: "They are already dead. The resentment and calamity in this life are too strong and have interfered with the normal Taoism. We cannot distinguish between life and death. Wait a minute. "Master and I have been here for thirteen years, how did we survive these thirteen years?"
He woke up, laughed high, like a ghost, rushed towards the rice, grabbed the rice and stuffed it into his mouth.
In the crowd of ghosts, Tianyan Arhat raised his head, with a hideous face, grinning, and stuffed vegetarian food into his mouth.
The master and the disciple are like two evil ghosts.
Their master and apprentice died not long after entering the Wufang world and became part of the Wufang world.
