The little monk returns to the vulgar

Chapter 232
In the Water Curtain Cave of Huaguo Mountain, Dao Ran's soul gathers and disperses invisible, dodging around under Monkey King's golden cudgel, this embarrassing appearance is quite embarrassing.

And even if Daoran tried his best to avoid it, he still couldn't escape the shadow of the golden cudgel in the end, as long as he was hit, it would be a sharp pain that went straight to his soul, making him unable to even scream.

For half an hour, at least a hundred sticks were taken, but Dao Ran's soul was not only not broken, but instead appeared crystal clear, like glass.

But Daoran was lying softly on the ground, he had no strength to speak, so he could only forcefully raise his hand, and shook Sun Wukong.

The golden cudgel stopped in mid-air, and quickly turned into an embroidery needle and fell into Monkey King's ears.

"You fell down before I tried my best." Sun Wukong laughed.

If you really work hard, there are not many people in this world who can stand up!Daoran really wanted to refute like this, but at this moment he really didn't have any strength left.He felt like he was a piece of chicken, which had been hammered until it was cooked through. Now it was already smoking, and he really couldn't hold on any longer.

Sun Wukong looked at Daoran who was lying flat, and did not continue to force him to get up to practice.Sun Wukong said that he was useless, but he was actually quite surprised at Daoran's progress in his heart.In just a few days, from being only beaten at the beginning to now being able to avoid several sticks, the speed of progress is really amazing.

You know, Daoran is now out of his body.

He has lived as a living person for more than ten years, and he has long been accustomed to the existence of a physical body. The state of his soul leaving his body is very difficult to control.But in just a few days, Daoran not only mastered the unpredictable characteristics of the soul, but also became familiar with Monkey King's stick technique.

Although Daoran occasionally dodged a stick or two, he still had to be beaten in the end, but how many people in this world can escape Monkey King's golden cudgel?Even if the water is released, Daoran's speed of progress is still astonishing.

Sun Wukong even began to suspect that if Daoran had worshiped with him in the three-star cave of the oblique moon, maybe Daoran's ability would not be much worse than him.

Sun Wukong couldn't help thinking: "Fahai, Fahai, you've wasted the talent of this little monk. I've studied with you for 15 years, what have you learned?"

On weekdays, Sun Wukong likes to be with monkeys, and he doesn't take mortals too seriously, but seeing Daoran's talent at this time, he couldn't help but have the idea of ​​accepting apprentices.But if you think about it carefully, Fahai is Daoran's master, Lei Zhenzi is the second master, and Da Zizaitian is the third master. If I were to accept disciples, wouldn't I be ranked fourth?

This is absolutely impossible!
Although he couldn't accept apprentices, Monkey King's guidance did not slacken in the slightest.This child is a good piece of iron, as long as it is tempered hard, it will definitely become a hundred-refined steel.Perhaps, you can go back to the Three-star Cave of the Oblique Moon to visit your relatives, let the ancestors help you to train them, maybe you will really become your own junior.

Sun Wukong was thinking about introducing Daoran to his first teacher, but suddenly he had a feeling, looked up at the sky, and frowned at the same time.

After a while, Monkey King said to Daoran: "Buddha's decree, I'm going to Lingshan. Daoran, you practice on Huaguoshan by yourself, and I'll talk about it when I come back."

After saying this sentence, Sun Wukong tapped his toe and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Daoran struggled to get up from the ground, and said in surprise: "This is the speed of Dou Yun? I can't even see clearly."

From Lingshan to Huaguoshan, Daoran felt that he was reborn every day. He couldn't calculate how many times he was stronger than before he went up the mountain. Anyway, he was very strong, so strong that he could crush himself to death with a single finger.

And this kind of strengthening is all-round, from the body to the soul, all aspects of the overall improvement.He thought that his progress had been very fast, but Sun Wukong left just now faster than he expected.

I thought Sun Wukong just released as much water as the Yellow River, but I didn't expect to release so much water from the entire ocean. This is somewhat shocking.

With a heavy heart, Dao Ran's soul returned to his body, and then began to meditate and adjust his breath.I have just been educated by Monkey King, and now is a good time to practice.

Daoran quickly threw away those useless emotions and immersed his mind in his practice. The silver swastika of the Myriad Laws Guiyi Miaolian Sutra began to rotate rapidly, making Daoran's cultivation level to a higher level.

On the other side, Sun Wukong came to Daleiyin Temple from Huaguo Mountain by following Douyun. To his surprise, Daleiyin Temple is really full of Buddhas today. There are also other Buddhist monks who are practicing in various ashrams.

"Tsk tsk, it seems that there is something important." Sun Wukong muttered in a low voice.

On weekdays, it is only so lively when the Buddha lectures, but the annual Buddha lecture is still far away, and there must be a big announcement today.

Sun Wukong saw a familiar figure from a distance, walked over and called out: "Master."

Wearing a Pilu hat, the handsome monk turned around and said with a smile, "Wukong, you're here too."

This is Zhan Tan Gongde Buddha, Sun Wukong's second master.Although on the journey to the west, Sun Wukong was pitted miserably by Tang Sanzang, but the relationship between the master and the apprentice has always been good.

"Master, what's the big deal about the gathering of Buddhas today?" Sun Wukong asked.

Zhantan Gongde Buddha said in a heavy tone: "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has met Dazizaitian. This demon master said that the doom of Buddhism is coming."

"The calamity of Buddhism? What calamity can Buddhism have?" Monkey King scratched his head and said.

The Buddha's magic power is boundless, and all the Buddhas are also powerful. How can such a powerful Buddhism survive?Even the devil is no match for the Buddha.

"As a teacher, I don't know, but the number of kalpas should be true. The Buddha once said that the Dharma will last for a thousand years, the Dharma will last for a thousand years, and the Dharma will end for ten thousand years. At the time of the end of the Dharma, the Shurangama Sutra and the Panzhou Samadhi will be destroyed first; the twelve parts The scriptures, found and then destroyed, will never reappear, and the words will not be seen. The recluse's cassock will naturally turn white." Zhantan Gongde Buddha explained.

It means that there are three stages in the spread of Buddhism, 1000 years of orthodox Dharma, what the world learns is orthodox, and the year before last, it is the image Dharma, Dharma has been distorted due to the interpretation of sentient beings.

But in the Dharma-ending era, all kinds of scriptures will disappear, and they will no longer appear again. People in the world can't read the real Buddhist scriptures, can't understand the real Dharma, and only the "Amitabha" is left on their lips.At that time, the cassocks worn by monks were the same as ordinary clothes, meaningless.

Sun Wukong has also been a Buddha for many years, so he could understand these words, so he asked, "Has Buddhism in the mortal world declined to this extent?"

Zhan Tan Gongde Buddha nodded and said: "Journey to the West is the end of the Dharma, and Mahayana Buddhism can't stop the coming of the end of the Dharma era. Now that the Dharma is not manifested, Buddhism is indeed on the verge of decline."

For immortals and Buddhas, hundreds of years pass in the blink of an eye, but for the human world, it is the vicissitudes of life.After Mahayana Buddhism was spread to the east, it barely held its last breath for Buddhism, and then declined with the demise of the Tang Dynasty.

The most obvious is that at the end of the Tang Dynasty, all kinds of Dharma conferences were extremely prosperous, but there was not a single person who truly practiced Buddhism, and the rest were just fake monks who used the name of Buddhism to make money and deceive people.

It is precisely because of the chaos of these fake monks that the people in the last years of the Tang Dynasty were in dire straits. Not only did they exhaust the luck of the dynasty, but they also changed the Dharma into the four words "Amitabha", as if they could transcend themselves as long as they could read this sentence.

When the Zhou Dynasty was established, the original founding emperor Chai Xihui planned to destroy Buddhism directly, so that the Zhou Dynasty would not follow in the footsteps of the Tang Dynasty.To be honest, if the Buddha is really exterminated, it would be a good thing for the real Buddhism.

True Buddhist monks don't care about those extraneous things, what they care about is the inheritance of Buddhism.Exterminating the Buddha cannot destroy the true scriptures, but it can destroy those fake monks. After a hundred years, what can be passed down is naturally the true Buddha Dharma, and Buddhism will have a chance to prosper again.

However, fate is always so wonderful.The appearance of the real Qiansu prevented Chai Xihui from exterminating the Buddha, not only that, but also made him believe in the supernatural, giving those opportunists another opportunity to take advantage of it.

Because of this, there are rampant fake monks like Lanruo Temple, and eminent monks like Lingyin Temple who rely on cheating to maintain a luxurious life.It would be fine if there were only one or two temples, but nowadays, most of the temples in the world do not have true Buddhism, and the rest are just means of annexing land to release usury.

If things go on like this, Buddhism will surely perish.

Even if the Buddhas are still there, the Dharma will really die.

After hearing this, Monkey King pricked his ears and said, "It can only be said that the monks in Lingshan are too lazy, but if many people go down to the world and read Buddhist scriptures for ordinary people, Buddhism is not like this."

But Zhantan Gongde Buddha said: "The sage has set the rules, and the long-lived people are not allowed to stay in the mortal world for a long time. Most of the Buddhas in Lingshan have already cultivated to the right fruit, and they can't easily leave this paradise. Staying in Lingshan, risking falling into reincarnation at any time and staying in the mortal world?"

"Isn't this still afraid of death?" Sun Wukong said disdainfully.

In Sun Wukong's view, many great Buddhist masters have only achieved self-cultivation. They have become enlightened and achieved great freedom, but they are not so fraternal to ordinary people.

Otherwise, in Buddhism, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is the only one who guards hell, and he is the only one who dares to swear that "the hell will not be empty and you will not become a Buddha".

Zhan Tan Gongde Buddha did not refute, Sun Wukong was telling the truth.It is true that most of the Buddhas in Lingshan are self-care, which is also the flaw of Buddhism itself. Even the Buddha can't save all living beings, so what can others do?

Before the master and apprentice continued to chat, everyone walked into the Daxiong Palace.Compared with Buddhist temples in the mortal world, the Daxiong Hall of Daleiyin Temple is more solemn and solemn, as if cutting out half of the sea of ​​clouds, as a meeting place for all Buddhas to gather.

Although it is empty, the Daxiong Hall of Daleiyin Temple is more lively and lively than the Daxiong Hall in the mortal world, because the Buddhas sitting here are all alive.

All the gods and Buddhas in the sky already knew the reason for today's gathering, and they were all whispering, discussing the doom of the Buddhist sect.However, most of the people just had serious expressions, but they were not too worried.

As Sun Wukong said, they have all achieved positive results, and the decline of Buddhism in the world has little to do with them.The inability of Buddhism to grow does not mean that Buddhist Bodhisattvas and Arhats will fall into reincarnation because of this.

As long as they stay in Lingshan, even if they are completely cut off from the mortal world, they can still be at ease.This is the benefit of immortality. Immortals and mortals are no longer the same species.

Because of this, the Buddhas of Lingshan are not unaware of the decline of mortal Buddhism, but they did not choose to do their best to save it, and they mostly watched from the sidelines and watched mortals die by themselves.

Even though the devil said that this is the doom of Buddhism, most of them didn't care.

It wasn't until the Buddha gathered them in Daleiyin Temple that they paid more attention to it.

But for some reason, after everyone waited for a long time, the Buddha still did not show up.Just when the Buddhas in Lingshan were a little anxious, the Buddha Jieyin appeared in front of everyone.

The impatient Arhat directly asked the receiving Buddha, where is the Buddha.

Jieyin Buddha clasped his hands together and said to everyone: "Everyone, please be safe and don't be impatient. The Buddha's decree is with me, and I will announce it to you immediately."

I saw the Buddha's long sleeves waved, and the lotus lamp in his palm shone brightly, and a tall figure was reflected on the main hall, which was exactly the appearance of the Buddha.

Although they didn't understand why it was just a projection of the Buddha, everyone dared not neglect it in the slightest.Everyone in the Daxiong Palace hurriedly knelt down and saluted the Lord of the Lingshan Mountain.

After receiving the Buddha's projection, he opened his mouth and said, "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, please tell everyone what the devil said."

"Respect the decree of the Dharma." Ksitigarbha hurriedly came out and told everyone exactly what he said when he met the devil that day.

Although the Buddhas of Lingshan were already mentally prepared, they were still a little shocked when they heard these details.What Da Zi Zai Tian said seemed to be different from what they thought. This was not only the age of the end of the mortal world, it seemed that even Lingshan would be affected.

"I don't know what arrangements the Buddha has for receiving and guiding the Buddha?" Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva asked.

The one who cares most about this matter is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Others can spend their days in the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss, but he guards the hell and has the closest relationship with the mortal world.

If the Buddhadharma in the mortal world really declines completely, then the emptying of hell is a joke. No matter how hard he tries, he will never be able to fulfill his oath.

"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva stay safe and don't be impatient, this is the purpose of the Buddha's Dharma."

The receiving and guiding Buddha lit the lotus lamp in his hand, and the phantom of the Buddha opened his mouth and said to everyone: "The era of the end of the Dharma has come in this world. The mortal Dharma has declined, and demonic thoughts have arisen. I have retreated in the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss. Incarnation, into reincarnation. This move is only for the revival of Buddhism, all of you must keep your head on the mountain gate, and don't act rashly, lest the demons take advantage of the void and enter."

After the Buddha Xuying finished speaking, it turned into light and shadow and dissipated.

After hearing this, the Buddhas in Lingshan all showed the expressions of the scriptures. They didn't expect the matter to be so serious.

The Buddha went into seclusion, separated from the mind of reincarnation and descended to earth?
The last trip to the west was not so serious.

It is not difficult to divide the mind, just like Guanyin Bodhisattva, it is said that she has thousands of faces and countless incarnations.But if the avatar is put into reincarnation, it is two different things.

The buddhas in Lingshan can live forever if they cultivate to the right fruit, and they will never have to worry about falling into reincarnation.Now the Buddha took the initiative to separate his incarnation into reincarnation.

This is very likely to create a flaw in the Buddha's perfect dharma body, a fatal flaw.This incarnation is transformed by the Buddha's spiritual thoughts, and must be the most talented practitioner, and it can even be said to be the second Buddha.

Once this incarnation is tempted by the heavenly demon and falls into the devil's way, it is very likely that a demon Buddha will appear.
