Since returning to the Holy Land of Lingshan in Hezhou, Xiniu, the atmosphere in Buddhism has become a bit gloomy. The sight of groups of three or five chanting sutras and chanting Buddhas and talking loudly in the past has disappeared. From Buddha and Bodhisattva to Arhats, Vajras and even the lowest level of Buddhists, they are all there. Study quietly. book/top/
The reason for this result is that Buddhism was defeated in the war. This made the Buddhists who had always been smooth and prosperous, and even wiped out the demon clan more than a hundred years ago, suddenly withered like eggplants with frost.
The spiritual pillars of Buddhists are the two sages of the West, Amitabha Buddha and Mother Zhunti Buddha. No matter how big or small the monk is, Amitabha Buddha is always there. There are also many who recite Buddha Mother Chunti.
However, the two saints were in the chaos outside the sky and left after the Great Tribulation of Godhood. They were really far away from the Buddhist monks. Fortunately, the Two Saints had already prepared. Are their corpse-killing incarnations of the Treasure Banner Tathagata and the Bodhi Taoist still staying in the wilderness to protect every existence in Buddhism? It can be said that Bodhi Taoist and Treasure Banner Tathagata have replaced their original Buddhas, the Two Saints of Buddhism, and become the spiritual sustenance of the Buddhist monks.
However, it was Taoist Bodhi who was almost wiped out of his journey to the west by Ji Qing's thunderbolt. Even the Tathagata with the Treasure Banner promised to surrender, and then disappeared without a trace with Taoist Bodhi. This series of changes made the Buddhist monks The sustenance in my heart suddenly collapsed.
Afterwards, although Baozhuang Tathagata showed up again, he opened a hole in Lingshan Mountain and a bloody place, and a group of monks ran back from the hole.
Later they found out that it was Ksitigarbha who had come back from the Sea of ??Blood and the Underworld. The alliance of merchants and cultivators who had defeated Buddhism had reached a tripartite alliance agreement with the Underworld and the Sea of ??Blood. The forces of Buddhism were completely eliminated at this moment. . Therefore, this was a big blow to the Buddhist monks who were making matters worse.
What made the Buddhist monks even more depressed was that they saw Ksitigarbha vomiting blood and losing strength, and finally turned into a little Arhat. It turns out that Ksitigarbha's oath was broken and he was counterattacked by heaven. His karma fell and Ksitigarbha's merits were eliminated.
What does this mean? It means that although the Buddhist almighty vows are good, there are times when they cannot be realized. Buddhism has always given Buddhist monks the feeling of exhausting their plans, but it has been interrupted several times now.
After Baozhuang Tathagata rescued Ksitigarbha, he did not stay for long, but immediately left again. This made the Buddhist monks who were expecting to be comforted physically and mentally not relieved. Instead, they felt a burst of disappointment in their hearts.
In fact, they don¡¯t know that the reason why Baozhuang Tathagata was able to return for a short while was to save the little monk Ksitigarbha. Bodhi¡¯s injuries were extremely serious, and he had to leave immediately when he came back to continue to heal the wounds of the monk.
As the leader of Buddhism, why did Muni Buddha not comfort the Buddhist monks? This was because Muni Buddha was also very busy. He was also healing the Great Sun Tathagata. When Buddhism was defeated, Muni Buddha had to seize the time and make Buddhism great as soon as possible. It can be restored, especially by such an important person as Mahavairocana.
In this way, the only remaining quasi-sage in Buddhism is the Ancient Buddha of Lanterns. However, he was also injured. After returning to Lingshan, he went into seclusion to heal his injuries, and he also did not show up.
As for the high-level Bodhisattvas such as Guanyin, Samantabhadra, and Manjusri, they also chose to return to their respective dojos instead of stabilizing people's hearts for the superiors. No one knows how they considered this.
Speaking of Randen Ancient Buddha, when he was recovering from his injuries, he kept thinking about the successive unfavorable events in Buddhism, which made him less confident in Buddhism, which he had always trusted.
The moon waxes and wanes, people have joys and sorrows, and Buddhism also has its rise and fall. The Buddhist sect wiped out the demon clan more than a hundred years ago just to prevent the Buddhist sect from declining too much in the next calamity and even collapsing as a whole. As one of the Buddhas, Ran Deng, he naturally knows all this very well.
However, since Ran Deng has already abandoned Taoism and thrown himself into Buddhism at the cost of notoriety, he will not leave immediately even if Buddhism may be weak. First, his current cultivation level and cause and effect are still closely connected with Buddhism, and it is so easy for him to break away from it. Secondly, there are two saints behind Buddhism. If he ignores Buddhism's feelings, he has to weigh the consequences carefully. Third, even if he leaves Buddhism regardless, will Taoism still accept him?
When Buddhism was sweeping away the demon clan, Ran Deng was also running around, working hard to accumulate Buddhist luck, because he knew that without special circumstances and force majeure factors, he might not be able to leave Buddhism in this life, so he could only stay with Buddhism. Go all the way to the end.
Although Buddhism will inevitably decline in the next calamity, Buddhism will definitely have a period of prosperity before its decline. Sweeping away the demon clan is one of them. From Ran Deng's point of view, controlling the underworld is the other. As for Dongsheng Shenzhou's Great Shang San Building an alliance or something like that will not have any impact on Buddhism.
But at the time when problems are least likely to arise, there are a total of eleven quasi-sage masters in Buddhism, includingThe quasi-sage ultimate power, including the incarnations of two saints, was defeated in front of the Great Shang Loose Cultivator Alliance.
With Ran Deng¡¯s senior qualifications, he would never make any sophistry, and Ran Deng also knew for sure that this was indeed a head-to-head confrontation, and they were defeated by each other. Even Ran Deng himself was injured!
Thinking back on it now, Ran Deng can¡¯t believe what happened, because it was so unbelievable and sudden, but it was also so real.
Ji Qing, the little human guy in his eyes in the past, turned out to be the final fatal blow that led to Buddhism's defeat. No matter how Ran Deng thought about it, he couldn't figure out how Ji Qing could release such a terrifying and powerful Dutian Divine Thunder. Even if Ran Deng thinks about the power of the Dutian Divine Thunder explosion and the tragic situation of Taoist Bodhi, Ran Deng will not get chills in his bones. If he were to encounter Ran Deng himself, there would definitely be no ashes left.
With these thoughts running through his mind, Ran Deng practiced while recovering from his injuries. His injuries were much less serious than those of Mahavairocana, but according to Ran Deng's judgment, it would take half a year for him to fully recover. Ran Deng had also thought about it. Even if his injury improved, he would not go out. Unless Muni Buddha summoned him, he would squint.
Buddhist Lingshan is the residence of a bunch of Buddhas, a group of Bodhisattvas, countless Arhats, and endless Buddhists. The Buddha's light is brilliant and brilliant, and the Buddha clouds are rising endlessly. Even the slightest breath of other things will be sensed by people in Buddhism, and people in Buddhism will not To believe that someone would come to the Buddhist Lingshan Holy Land to cause trouble is simply the same as seeking death. Therefore, usually, there are no restrictions on the residences and places of cultivation of people in Buddhism, because there is no need at all.
The same is true here in Ran Deng. In the past, the mountain top where he lived was covered by a ban, but it was completely unnecessary in Lingshan. Otherwise, it would make other monks feel weird.
" However, in this place where Ran Deng thought he was absolutely safe, where he practiced and recuperated, two unknown guests came. Before Ran Deng felt anything, his body was shaken. When he opened his eyes, the world with his spiritual consciousness had turned into a colorful world.
Ran Deng¡¯s expression changed drastically, because what he saw and felt was too familiar to him. Where else could it be if it weren¡¯t for Kong Xuan¡¯s Five Elements World? ! Ran Deng was going crazy. He never expected that Kong Xuan would run to Lingshan at this time and arrest him.
Ran Deng wanted to resist, but found that his whole body and even the relics were shaken by layers of pressure. He could not release even one percent of his strength. It was difficult to escape at this moment.
At this time, a young and handsome Taoist appeared in the colorful world, accompanied by an ordinary-looking Taoist. These two faces were so familiar to Ran Deng. He recognized both of them when they turned to ashes. The handsome one was Kong Xuan, and the one who even ordinary Ran Deng found ugly was Ji Qing. However, at this moment, Ran Deng felt that Ji Qing's ordinary face made Ran Deng even more frightened.
"Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan, Fellow Daoist Ji Qing, Buddhism has ceased war with you. Why did you come to the Holy Land of Buddhism again and arrest this poor monk here?" Ran Deng suppressed the waves in his heart, looked tight, and spoke righteously to the visitor. said.
"Fellow Ran Deng, our brothers are here to borrow a treasure from you?" Ji Qing said with a smile, looking at Ran Deng's eyes, he felt that it was just meat on the board.
"Hmph, fellow Taoist said it nicely. It seems that the two fellow Taoists have taken a fancy to the spiritual treasure on the poor monk?! I don't know what it is?!" Ji Qing's words and eyes made Ran Deng's face look ugly. The robbery! At this moment, it's strange that Ran Deng's mood can calm down.
"Either you can directly take back the Primordial Spirit Brand and give it to us for your fellow Taoist's coffin lamp, or we can take it from your fellow Taoist." Kong Xuan said coldly, seemingly calm, but there was endless murderous intent in his words.
"You're going too far!" Ran Deng's face turned green when he heard that it was his natal coffin lamp. This is too bullying.
"Fellow Taoist giving up the coffin lamp will temporarily damage your Taoist cultivation, but we promise here that we can let you go once in the future." Ji Qing knew that it was not easy to get Ran Deng to give up the coffin lamp, so he added a condition , he also wants to make a deal with Ran Deng and settle the karma between each other. If Ran Deng still doesn't give up, then Ji Qing and Kong Xuan will be embarrassed. The reason why he doesn't want to kill Ran Deng directly is because if he directly kills a Buddha, everyone in the Buddhist sect and even the two sages of the Buddhist sect will know about it, and the matter will become a big deal. For the time being, Ji Qing's side does not seem to start a war with the Buddhist sect again.
After listening to Ji Qing¡¯s words, Ran Deng¡¯s expression kept changing, as if a well-known actor was training in front of the mirror, which gave Ji Qing and Kong Xuan a very interesting feeling.
How can it be so easy to decide to give up his natal spiritual treasure? Although his strength at the quasi-sage level of Ran Deng is only reduced for a short time, and he can still come back through relic cultivation later, it still has a big impact on his origin, and even affects his future enlightenment. problem, although thisIt is even more ethereal for Ran Deng.
Ji Qing and Kong Xuan were not in a hurry, they just looked at Ran Deng calmly, waiting for his decision. Time passed by second by second, but Ran Deng still didn't make a choice. However, Ran Deng's complexion stopped changing and became dark black, which was depressed.
Ji Qing estimated the time and felt that he could not wait any longer, so he glanced at Kong Xuan, who nodded to Ji Qing. Ji Qing turned around, looked at Ran Deng, stretched out two fingers, and a chaotic aura came out.
Originally, Ran Deng was still hesitant, but as soon as this breath came out, he immediately woke up Ran Deng, causing his expression to change wildly and his eyes to widen. He was too familiar with the smell of Dutian Divine Thunder, and Ji Qing's actions made him feel bad.
"The promise of fellow Taoist must be witnessed by the way of heaven, otherwise the poor monk would rather die than surrender." Ran Deng was bitter to the core, and finally gave in with a dark face.
Ji Qing smiled, nodded, and said with great satisfaction, "That's natural. We are absolutely trustworthy people." Then, Ji Qing made a promise under the witness of Tiandao.
Ji just now had no intention of releasing Dutian Shen Lei at all. This was Kong Xuan's Five Elements World. He was the first to suffer disaster after releasing Kong Xuan. This Ran Deng was frightened. What Ji Qing was about to release was the small-power Chaos Sword Qi condensed using Chaos Mana. The power was not too powerful, but it was enough to deal with Ran Deng, who was suppressed at the moment.
However, since Ran Deng surrendered, the low-power chaos sword energy was saved. Chaos mana was still very precious to Ji Qing. Even with the guarantee of the incarnations of the Four Saints such as Lao Jun, he would not waste it at will.
"Alas." After a deep sigh, the lamp appeared as the incarnation of the ancient Buddha, with a black treasure lamp floating on the top. His face changed, and his reluctance was beyond words. He gritted his teeth for the last time, closed his eyes, and there was a bang, as if something was broken. Then he looked at the lantern above the Buddha's head above the lamp, and the light flew down dimly. Shi Ran Deng spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face became extremely pale.
Ji Qing waved his hand and took the flying coffin lamp. He checked it carefully and found that there was nothing missing. This was part of the spiritual treasure he would use to kill the corpse in the future, and he didn't want any shortcomings to happen.
"Thank you so much, fellow Taoist, we will let you go back now and won't disturb your fellow Taoist for healing." Ji Qing smiled at Ran Deng. Kong Xuan was silent, but he was ready.
Ran Deng said nothing and nodded with blood stains on his lips. At this moment, Ran Deng was disheartened. This feeling was worse than when he was in the Great Tribulation of the Gods. He even wondered if he had left the Chan Sect and defected. Buddhism is on the wrong track.
Ji Qing and Kong Xuan nodded, and then they disappeared. On Ran Deng's side, the scenery in front of him changed. He returned to the place of cultivation, but there was no image of Ji Qing and Kong Xuan at all, and they did not even exist in his sense of Buddha.
After scanning the rest of the Buddhist sect, including Muni Buddha and the Bodhisattvas, who were unaware, he sighed deeply. He could only swallow this loss in his stomach.
When Ji Qing and Kong Xuan released the burning lanterns, Ji Qing had already shrouded the two in a state of stealth. At this moment, the secret of heaven was interfered by the four saints, and even the saints could hardly detect them, let alone the quasi-sages in Buddhism. Therefore, the two of them came here easily and left without leaving a single cloud.
