Chapter 1000: The Hidden Monk
On the edge of the East China Sea and Dayu, in the boundless deep mountains, there is a platform on the mountainside of an unnamed green mountain, and a small wooden Zen temple stands on this platform, surrounded by green pine and ancient trees. It is inconspicuous here, but it is a good cave blessed land, surrounded by clear water around the green mountains, the spiritual veins under the mountain base converge, and a misty purple gas rushes straight into the sky along the mountain, turning into clouds and clouds that are entangled all year round.
This Zen temple has three courtyards before and after, and each one has three halls on the left and right, although the scale is very small, it is also presentable. There is only one young monk who looks no more than a teenager in the monastery, and there are dozens of monks who are speechless all the year round, and there are more than a dozen Huotou Taoists who are busy with chores, and this monastery is like this.
Since the Outer Heavenly Realm descended on Pangu, the Outer Immortal Sect has seized the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, and the nameless mountain where this Zen temple is located has also been targeted. This piece of green mountain is not tall and inconspicuous, but it is extremely rare to find a place where the surrounding spirit veins and dragons will meet, a huge mountain range that stretches for hundreds of millions of miles, this green mountain is the heart of the mountain range, you can imagine how many patients it has provoked.
After a few years of hard work, there are dozens of waves of foreign immortals and Buddha cultivators who have calculated this dojo called the Great Dragon Zen Temple, but no matter how hard you talk about the lotus flower with your tongue, or roll up your sleeves and speak directly with your muscles, in short, the presiding master of this Zen temple just released a Hinayana immovable Vajra Buddha light to protect the green mountains, let you attack and toss, this Zen temple has always stood still, and no one has been able to take advantage of it.
The cultivation of these eight precept masters is not high, and what is shown in the flat rì is that the peak of the heavenly immortal is close to the level of the golden immortal, and there is no big force he uses to attack the dharma, but the only one Hinayana immovable Vajra Buddha light cultivation is superb. There were several middle-level Jin Immortals who led their disciples to besiege the Great Dragon Monastery with great momentum, but they could never break through the thin layer of Buddha light, and finally had no choice but to retreat.
When it comes to the durability of defense and strength, Buddhism is blessed with all kinds of Buddha light and divine light, and no one wants to take advantage of the master of the Eight Precepts.
This kind of thing happened a lot, and the many immortal gates that found a cave in the nearby mountains and set up the mountain gate changed the name of the Great Dragon Zen Temple - Turtle Zen Temple. What they mean is nothing more than that the Master of the Eight Rings never fights people head-on, but only knows to hide in the Zen monastery and keep their doors closed.
After tossing for a few years, the Dalong Monastery is also famous in the hundreds of large and small immortal gates in this mountain range, and there are gradually some lone Buddhist cultivators who are stationed in the Dalong Monastery. As long as you seriously follow the rules of Buddhism to request an order in the Dalong Monastery, and swear not to do anything that threatens the Dalong Monastery, he will let you live in the Dalong Monastery at will.
Waiting for the dozen or so side halls of the Dalong Monastery to be filled with monks with pending orders, the Bajie Master took people to personally cut down trees and plants to expand the Monastery. That is, after a few years of hard work, the courtyard of the Great Dragon Zen Monastery occupies a small half of the mountain, and there are thousands of people who follow the Buddhist sect of Master Bajie to cultivate, and they have actually turned into a major force in this nameless mountain range.
Moreover, these monks who were stationed in Xi also found that although the cultivation of the master of the eight precepts was not high, the attainment of the Dharma jīng righteousness was simply unbelievable, and some people asserted that the cultivation of the Buddhist scriptures of the master of the eight precepts was enough to be compared with the top golden immortals. Gradually, the reputation of the Dalong Monastery fluttered out, and many immortals and Buddhist cultivators who had attacked the Dalong Monastery suddenly realized, no wonder this Bajie bald donkey cultivation is not much, how can a layer of Buddha light not be torn apart, and his feelings for his Buddhism have reached that level?
It's no wonder that Buddhism has an epiphany and becomes a Buddha, as long as you have a deep Buddhist philosophy, anything can happen. The eight-precept monk used the cultivation of the Arhat to resist the golden immortals and the Bodhisattva without falling, which shows how far his Buddhism has reached.
In the blink of an eye, it was a few years, and there were 20,000 old monks, big monks, and little monks in the Great Dragon Monastery, after all, his reputation had spread. The master of the Eight Rings also accepted seven or eight registered disciples with good qualifications, especially those with good qualities, and he always said that he still had a master who was in the Zen Monastery near the hidden world, and he did not dare to really accept apprentices, so he could only accept a few registered disciples first.
Outsiders have to believe or not believe the words of the master of the Eight Rings, in order to encroach on the foundation of the Dalong Monastery, this mountain has been swept countless times with divine consciousness inside and out, and no monk has been found to be in retreat. If the Master of the Eight Rings really had such a hidden cultivator, why didn't he see him begging his master to come forward when he was forced to come to the door?
Not to mention anything else, the Bajie himself has a cultivation that is close to that of a bodhisattva, shouldn't his master be the fruit of the Buddha? How is this possible, how many Buddhas are there in the Great Vulture Mountain of Buddhism? There are also Buddhas who practice loosely, but there are very few, and there is not only one in this poor ravine?
Outsiders just smiled at Bajie's remarks and didn't take it seriously, the bald donkey will also deceive people, outsiders just listen to it as a joke.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the Ling Dynasty has fallen, and the Jing Dynasty cooperates with the Demon God army to sweep through the southern and eastern frontiers of Dayu. Located at the junction of the East China Sea and Dayu, in the extreme mountains of southern Xinjiang, this piece is also threatened by the army of demon gods. Now the army of demon gods is still busy collecting the immortals and scattered cultivators in the territory of the Spirit Dynasty, but sooner or later they will come here to capture the immortals.
It is impossible to flee to the territory of Dayu, it is purely to beg for death. There is no way out to the east, the army of the Jing Dynasty has swept there, and the army of the Demon God has swept away the major immortal gates in the east of Xinjiang that were originally attached to the Spirit Dynasty one by one with the army of the Jing Dynasty. After all, now that the Jing Dynasty has controlled the power of southern Xinjiang, the Buddhist cultivators are unhindered, and the immortals will go crazy.
There is no way out from the south, east, west, heaven and earth. The starry sky in the outer region is invaded by the demon god, and the heavenly court is being attacked by the demon god, there are at least five hundred Taoist sects in this nameless mountain range, the largest can have more than 100,000 disciples, and the smallest has more than 7,000 immortals and monks. Coupled with the mortal relatives and clansmen of these immortal monks, this population is no less than the scale of a six-rank state in Dayu.
Faced with the embarrassing situation of the Taoist immortals, those Buddhist cultivators exhaled and raised their eyebrows and laughed, and some Buddhist sects began to hook up, while contacting the Jing Dynasty army to prepare to wash this mountain range, and take all the caves and blessed lands as their own, while sending people to probe the surrounding movements, and watch all the moves of those immortals. They were ready, as long as the Jing Dynasty army moved, they would immediately lead the way for the Jing Dynasty army and sweep all the immortal sects here.
At this critical juncture, the Dalong Zen Monastery suddenly opened the mountain gate.
The Bajie monk sat cross-legged above the Great Dragon Monastery, and a white qi was released above his head and rushed straight into the air, three fist-sized natal relics rotated above his head, and the three lotus platforms held up his natal relics respectively. Looking at his breath and the appearance of the lotus relic, he didn't know when he had attained the position of a bodhisattva, and he already had the same strength as the Taoist Golden Immortal.
The Bajie monk shouted softly: "The little monk is ordered by the Venerable Da Yi to open the mountain gate to protect all Taoist friends. Regardless of Buddhism, immortals, or even demons and monsters, all living beings are equal, as long as they are in the mountain gate of my Dalong Monastery, do not have evil thoughts, and have a compassionate heart, no one can hurt their lives. ”
These words were repeated forty-nine times in a row, and the sound spread throughout the vast mountainous area.
The immortals of the Daomen were of course stunned for a while, and the Buddhist cultivation of the Buddha Gate was even more confused. They looked at the Bajie master who was suspended in the air and released immeasurable Buddha light to shine in all directions, and even some Buddha cultivators were secretly scolding Bajie for being a dead thief, he had already proven the position of the Bodhisattva, and he had to act on the position of the Bodhisattva, he should help the Jing Dynasty army deal with those Daomen immortals, how could he protect those dead bull noses in turn?
Of course, the jīng meaning of Buddhism is compassion and equality of all beings, but that's just a slogan. When faced with great benefits, the Buddha's hands will also be stained with blood, and the Bodhisattva will also kill people in anger, and the slogan is just a slogan, and the Bajie, a dead thief, will not take seriously the slogan of fooling ordinary people and developing believers, right? That is really a tragedy for Buddhism.
Immediately, there was a great monk who had reached the high level of the Bodhisattva level, probably the level of the Bodhisattva of the Third Rank, swayed and flew to the master of the Eight Rings with a ball of incense, he saluted the Eight Commandments, and said in a deep voice: "Senior Brother of the Eight Commandments, your words are wrong. The army of the Jing Dynasty swept the world and swept away the demonic atmosphere, which is a sign of the great prosperity of my Buddhism, and you shelter these Taoist demons, isn't it contrary to the will of the Buddha?"
Bajie glanced at the monk coldly, and suddenly asked: "The Buddha taught you to kill people? The Buddha taught you to set fire? The Buddha taught you not to save you when you die? The Buddha taught you to fall into the well? The Buddha taught you to have murderous intent? The Buddha taught you to be greedy and angry?"
The great monk was stunned, with a cold sweat on his forehead, he really had nothing to say.
Bajie casually shot out a Buddha light in his hand, and he snorted coldly: "Ignorant and unscrupulous, virtuous and unscrupulous, how can they be ranked with me in the Buddha's Gate?"
The Buddha's light is silent, it seems to be light and ingenious, but it is heavier than Mount Tai when it falls on the great monk. The great monk howled miserably, and was blown away by a light wave of Buddha light, and immediately beat his Dharma cultivation from the level of the three-rank bodhisattva back to the three-rank Arhat level.
All the immortals and Buddha cultivators who witnessed all this with their divine sense were shocked, and the breath on Bajie's body was only at the level of the eighteen-rank Bodhisattva, he could easily knock a three-rank Bodhisattva into the sky, to what extent did his Buddhist cultivation reach?
The huge mountain range was quiet, and suddenly a voice like a dragon's groan but full of compassion sounded from the depths of the underground of the Great Dragon Zen Temple.
"My Buddha is merciful, purifying all sentient beings, and if you come to my door, you will not be damaged by all calamities. No matter the Buddha, no matter the demon, no matter the viviparity, no matter the wet birth, no matter the birds, no matter the beasts, no matter the flowers and trees, all living beings come to my door, I should break my bones to protect them. ”
"Today, my Venerable Da Yi refers to the wish of the Heavenly Alliance, to protect all living beings in the world and become enlightened. Whoever recites the name of my Venerable Da Yi and respects me as a guru will be protected by me, and even if there are thousands of calamities and hundreds of millions of demons, they will not be able to hurt my disciples. Whoever takes me as his guru and goes through thousands of reincarnations, he will definitely help him to transcend the red dust and free himself from ghosts. ”
With this sonorous and powerful oath, Zhou Tian's golden flowers fell from the sky, the strange fragrance shrouded the four fields, and a ridiculously strong mental power spread around, all the creatures who touched this spiritual power, no matter the Buddha, no matter the demons and monsters, no matter the flowers, grasses, insects and fish, they all had great compassion and bowed in the direction of the Great Dragon Zen Temple.
At the same time, a powerful divine consciousness roared and swept over, and a strange voice rose into the sky.
"What a big vow, hey, what skills do you have to dare to make such a vow?"
