Red Cloud: Establishing Mahayana Buddhism as a Holy Spirit

Chapter 140 Emperor Tathagata

King Zhou three years.

Dongyi and Guifang, the most powerful of the three who have never surrendered to the big merchants, surrendered one after another, and Quanrong also offered a surrender form.

Since then, the three major foreign aggressions of the great merchants Dongyi, Guifang and Quanrong have been completely eliminated. Guifang and Quanrong were each split into eight foreign princes, and Dongyi was ten princes.

Di Xin personally led the army to patrol around the periphery of the Great Shang, the so-called four major princes and the eight hundred minor princes.

Since then, the four major princes, the eight hundred minor princes, and the three major foreign barbarians and 26 princes have completely surrendered to the Great Shang Dynasty, and even the princes came to congratulate him in the fourth year of King Zhou.

Under the shock of the luck of the human race, countless powers in the world were shocked, and even the three emperors of Huoyun Cave opened their eyes one after another.

I saw the great Shang Chaoge of the human race in the sky, and the luck of the human race was shining red and went straight to the sky, which shocked the world even more.

This surging red light is rich in luck, almost the strongest since the Three Emperors. Even Zhen Yuanzi of Wuzhuang Temple showed a dignified expression, and murmured: "The King of Kings is in this monstrous weather luck. There's an evil spirit."

In the original book, King Zhou should have conquered Sanyi, and then conquered the princes of the world with fierce power to become king, but even so, Nuwa saints were blocked by King Zhou's red luck, and it was said that Dashang still had 28 years to live Fortunately, it can be seen that the current King Zhou is more powerful than the original one.

Longde Hall!
Di Xin, who overwhelmed the princes of the world, has now reached the peak of his prestige. Sitting on the throne in the main hall, Di Xin looked around at the officials in the hall.

As Emperor Xin's prestige increased day by day, he managed to achieve a dominance that the previous kings of the great merchants had not accomplished in just four years after taking over the throne.

However, the officials were worried about whether Emperor Xin would use this to build up his army again for fear of causing turmoil. As a result, the young King of Shang was even more unfathomable than they imagined, and he directly entrusted all the civil and military officials. General.

Grand Master Wen Zhong's status was already deeply rooted, but after this time, the status of Master Qing Yun became even more mysterious.

Yang Jian, the commander-in-chief of Chentangguan, and Yuan Hong and Li Jing, the deputy commanders.

Dou Rong, the commander-in-chief of Wandering Soul Pass.

Zhang Guifang, Chief Soldier of Qinglong Pass, and Qiu Yin, Deputy Chief Soldier,

The four generals of Jiamengguan General Soldier Mo Family.

Kong Xuan, the commander-in-chief of Sanshan Pass, and Deng Jiugong, the deputy commander-in-chief.Zhang Kui, the general of Mianchi, and so on, this time it can be said that Di Xin has completely controlled the real power of the big merchants by enforcing the world this time.

Just when the world was thriving, they didn't know that the catastrophe was approaching.

North Sea.

A faint golden light radiated from a mountain depression.

The whole body exudes a golden light of merit, the gorgeous and majestic golden silk armor, and the permeating Buddha's light, an indescribable aura paves the way, and an arrogance comes from within.

"You two, I've been stuck with design for three years!"

The indifferent and bright outside reveals a strong, gold-plated Buddha's light on the back of the golden silk armor, which seems to be defiant and proud. It is rare for Jieyin to show appreciation.

"Hehe, my little friend, a Sanxian, has cultivated so far, you can be said to be a genius of the Three Realms."

"Dare to ask my little friend?" Zhunti didn't have the slightest airs of a saint at this time, he was completely a fanatical human trafficker who recruited people into his gang.

But the person on the opposite side frowned, but secretly complained in his heart, this damn thing is bad, but he really got hurt, who knows how deep the water in the North Sea is.

However, on the surface he is extremely cold and arrogant. After all, who will give you a good face after being trapped for three years, I saw him snorting directly: "My Dharma is called Emperor Tathagata! Enlightenment through Buddhist Dharma."

On the opposite side of a sentence, Zhunti's face turned green, his eyes widened, and he was a damn red cloud again!Something is wrong!The other party is obviously a casual cultivator.

The suffering face of Jieying on the side was even more shocked as he recalled the word 'Tathagata', "Those who are truly Tathagata are called Tathagata because they take advantage of the way of Tathagata to become enlightened from cause to effect. It is the true body of Tathagata also."

The deeply enlightened reception is even more fiery looking at the person in front of him, Dharma!Those who are born are Buddhist saints, and this saint is not that saint.

Although Buddhism has been established today, relatively speaking, everything is still from scratch. It is not the perfect Buddhism during the Journey to the West period. The simplest thing is that Western Buddhism and Mahayana Buddhism do not have the status of Buddha, Bodhisattva, and Arhat. say.

Zhunti couldn't help showing joy on his face, it was simply that the Taoist ancestors took pity on them, and even bestowed such a Buddhist saint.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist has a predestined relationship with Buddhism, but in my view, Fellow Daoist is still a lone cultivator."

Just the comprehension of the word "Tathagata" directly made the two saints commensurate as Taoist friends. This title has nothing to do with cultivation, and the other party is indeed one step ahead of them in terms of Buddhism.

Zhunti directly started to win people over nakedly, and he had just entered the holy land, but his sage smiled and nodded amiably and said: "I am Zhunti of Western Buddhism, fellow Taoists, do you know the great law of Western Buddhism?"

"Western Buddhism welcomes you, fellow Taoists, would you like to go back to the West with me to practice my Buddhist Dafa?"

The two saints directly threw out the naked temptation, which immediately made Di Tathagata feel aggrieved, but on the surface, his eyes were even more cold. Now the enemy is in the clear and I am in the dark. Let's use the plan to see if we can escape.

"There is a flash of demon energy in Beihai, the two saints know it!"

He was obviously trapped, but Emperor Tathagata did not look worried at all, but directly asked about it in a concentrated voice, and immediately nodded with a smile on his face: "Fellow Daoist, to be honest, we also found that the devilish energy of the North Sea seems to be It has something to do with the ancient demon master Kunpeng, so I'm here to investigate."

And Emperor Tathagata looked around sarcastically with cold eyes, as if to say that since it has nothing to do with you and it is the matter of the ancient mighty Kunpeng, why is he trapped here?
However, Zhunti, who had already cultivated a deep skin, didn't feel ashamed at all. Instead, he said calmly: "Although my little friend is superb in Buddhism, his cultivation is still not as good. Getting involved in it is terribly harmful."

In a word, in terms of Buddhism, you are superb, and the two brothers and sisters can be called friends with you, but in terms of cultivation, you are just a little friend, and you are far behind.

The guide on the side admired this person very much. If it wasn't for this person's cultivation base, he had already walked out of his own way, he would have to put down his face and accept his apprentice.

"Xiaoyou's Buddhist teachings are superb. During the three years of hardship, Jieyin wished to present this golden lotus seed as a gift."

I saw that after Jieyin took out the only congenital golden lotus of the twelfth-grade meritorious golden lotus, the corner of Zhunti's eyes twitched immediately, obviously a little bit painful, but seeing the Buddha's light radiating from the other party, it seemed that he didn't like it. Why does it hurt, as long as the other party joins their Western Buddhism, isn't it all theirs?

As long as this person can be lured back to Western Buddhism with them, let alone a mere Xiantian lotus seed, they are willing to send a few Xiantian Lingbao.

Looking at the temptation of the virtuous golden lotus and lotus seeds in front of him, Emperor Tathagata refused directly with a flat face: "You will not be rewarded for no merit, and I have no cause and effect with the two saints."

Jieyin and Zhunti, who were rejected, liked it even more. For some reason, the person in front of them was fatally attracted by the Buddha's light all over his body, which made them feel that Buddhism is so powerful.

Especially the opponent's dharma name, Emperor Tathagata!The simple three words, especially the word Tathagata, are simply a word that awakens the dreamer. The two of them are even more enlightened, and they have decided that Buddhist venerables should use "Tathagata" as their dharma name in the future.

The surrounding golden light slowly dissipated, turned into a twelve-grade golden lotus, and sat cross-legged slowly with a smile on his face. When Zhun Ti frowned and wanted to say something after seeing the situation, he saw Di Tathagata on the opposite side and was also indifferent. Sitting upright on a piece of bluestone, the opponent did not leave even though the formation had dispersed, which immediately made him look happy.

"I think the little friend's Buddhism is superb, but there is a hostility in his brows, and his actions are more decisive and more killing. Dare to ask the little friend the way to kill and protect life?"

On the Road!Or chakra Dharma!
The dispersal of the formation means that the other party can leave at any time, but the words of receiving and guiding are the ultimate bait. It is a great opportunity to discuss Buddhism with the only founder of Buddhism in the world.

Sure enough, as Jieyin and Zhunti thought, Di Tathagata was able to come from behind, and his attachment to Buddhism was far beyond ordinary people, or to say!This is his way!
As the saying goes, it is possible to die in the evening after hearing the Tao!

Facing the inquiry from the leading sage, Zhunti was even more curious to see what kind of Dharma this oriental creature had realized, and that he had already proved the way of the quasi-sage.

Those who use Buddhism to prove the way of quasi-sage prove that the other party has stepped out of their own way.

But when Emperor Tathagata heard these words, a smile suddenly appeared in his heart, and he immediately had an answer in his heart.

"Killing is composed of four contents: base, intention, behavior, and ultimate. The base, object, intention, idea of ​​taking life, behavior, and the process of killing. When the other party is dead, it is the ultimate."

A sentence full of the profound meaning of Buddhism immediately made Jieyin and Zhunti smile at the corners of their eyes and mouth, and Zhunti even laughed and said, "What is the law of protecting life?"

I saw Emperor Tathagata said indifferently: "Protecting life is not only protecting the living beings, but also spreading grace, healing the sick, curing the disabled, and cutting off evil thoughts, all of which are the methods of protecting life."

Emperor Tathagata has such a superb Buddhist teachings, and there are even some insights that neither of them have comprehended. Immediately, the two of them showed fanatic expressions, and after looking at each other, they showed an expression of determination to win.

The congenital golden lotus seeds in Jieyin's palm were even thrown in front of Emperor Tathagata, and Zhunti beside him showed no sign of reluctance, but said softly: "Little friend, this is the congenital lotus seed of the twelfth-grade golden lotus of merit. Only this one is the gift of discussing Taoism for you and me today."

See that Zhunti is a master. The other party has not agreed to go with you, but he directly threw out his reward. In a word, I appreciate you, you can do whatever you want, but I just appreciate this spirit treasure and I will give it to you .

No wonder Zhunti and Yingying can become big. I have to say that the way the two recruit souls is very unique.

Three thousand people from the world of mortals were taken away in the Conferred Gods, and there were also traitors who explained the teachings and those who stopped teaching. Why did they go to Buddhism honestly and diligently?

The most important reason is to go to Buddhism. The two sages don’t care about anything. I just want to recruit enough people. When it comes to major events, we decide that you usually engage in Buddhism by yourself, and the management rights are completely handed over to Buddhist disciples, and even luck is worse. It threw out most of it, and I have to say that this kind of courage is indeed rare.

Afterwards, he pointed to the long knife on the side of Emperor Tathagata, and asked suspiciously, "Did you kill someone?"

"Don't kill people!" Looking at the already set Jieyin and Zhunti, he deliberately put his weapon on his side, and he said directly when facing the question of Emperor Tathagata.

Clearly, the Lingbao carried a bloody smell, but he bluntly said that he would not kill. Not only did Zhunti and Jieying not get angry, but they scratched their hearts and blurted out: "What is the blood stained by the Lingbao?"

Faced with Jieyin and Zhunti's thoughts, Di Tathagata calmly glanced at the Lingbao long knife on his side, and then slowly placed it on his legs.

The hilt of the knife is in the shape of a red lion head, and the axis of the knife is inlaid with white crystal, which is shaped like a flame.There are six Sanskrit-shaped knife rings on the back of the knife. The main color of the knife body is amber gold, engraved with patterns, and the front end is decorated with the swastika **.

"It's sin karma!" Looking at the blade with clear eyes, he even reached out to touch it. Emperor Tathagata directly called the blood on the knife body sin karma.

"How to cut off the crime?"

At this moment, Jieyin has forgotten to win over the other party, but his eyes are full of blazing, Buddha Dharma!He was finally able to see other Buddhist teachings. He had always been behind closed doors. Hong Yun seemed to have established Mahayana Buddhism, but he was all focused on spreading Buddhism to the East, and he didn't manage it well. It can be said that he is the only one in the world who can discuss Buddhism. younger brother.

But today he finally saw a living being who was no weaker than the two of them in terms of Dharma. He had even walked out of his own path, had his own views, a Dharma with different views!

How could he not be ecstatic, it's more than just a reception, even Zhunti is showing fanaticism, Dharma!The other party's Buddhist formula is another kind of insight that they have never seen before.

Whether it is Mahayana Buddhism or Western Buddhism, now they have only stepped out of the general outline of their own Buddhism, and their respective disciples are only walking their own paths, and have not yet stepped out of their own true paths.

Now they can't wait any longer. They thought that the second person who came out of a different view of Buddhism was either Mahayana Buddhism or Western Buddhism, but it turned out to be a casual practitioner.

"Sentient beings re-enter the Dao of sentient beings."

"One body is a concrete body, and all living beings are my life. All living beings, parents in the past, and Buddhas in the future. How do you judge whether you should re-enter the way of living beings?"

"Re-entering the path of sentient beings is decided by sentient beings."

Jieyin and Zhunti kept asking questions, while Emperor Tathagata expressed his views on Buddhism calmly and without hesitation.

"Fellow Daoist, can killing life be thought of as protecting life?" In response to the doubtful question, Emperor Tathagata shook his head bluntly and said, "No way."

"Since you can't, why do you say that you kill to protect life?" Zhunti then directly asked what was in his heart.

Looking at the two bewitched saints, the corners of Emperor Tathagata's mouth slowly curled into a confident smile, "If there is one person who wants to kill someone, he will do evil. Killing one person is not enough, killing ten people is not enough, killing a hundred people is not enough. Bad karma Accumulation, and finally to infinity. Cause and effect follow each other, if the cause and effect are cut off before he is killed, this person will no longer do evil in this life, enter reincarnation, and restore the Buddha nature, then there will be no sin karma. This is killing or protecting life.”

After listening to Emperor Tathagata's insights into Buddhism, Zhunti laughed heartily, "Haha, it's wonderful! It's amazing! Killing is to protect life, killing karma is not killing people! Such a good Emperor Tathagata, he should be the head of Buddhism. An 'Emperor' deserves it!"

At this moment, Zhunti really admired the person in front of him. In terms of the greatness of the world, even the Sanqing people might not have admired him, but today is the only one!But he really admired it, let him see the world should be said to be the first person below the sage to walk out of the way of Buddhism.

Although Jie Yin on the side admired the other party's exquisite Buddhist methods, he still frowned and asked again: "The author's cause, the recipient's effect, and the cause and effect are two words. Dare to ask friends that killing people will be rewarded?"

The Emperor Tathagata, who was as stable as Mount Tai, replied directly: "Depending on origin and nature is empty, so there will be rewards." He then asked directly: "If the person was killed, there was a cause in the previous life, and it should be terminated in this life. If you don't pay back in this life, can you avoid it in future generations?" ? So cause and effect, how to care about it."

Faced with the aggressive and continuous inquiries about the Dharma from the leading saint, Emperor Tathagata frowned, and then answered directly.

"Without ignorance of cause and effect, the Emperor Tathagata is willing to accept it."

"Not repaid in the next life?"

"The retribution is ripe, and it will be repaid naturally."

After receiving the question, Emperor Tathagata answered, the two of them almost didn't think much at all, they directly asked the confusion in their hearts, and also answered the answer in their hearts.

Immediately afterwards, there was another question, and Emperor Tathagata answered calmly.

"Can Buddha judge cause and effect?"

"Buddha cannot judge cause and effect."

"I have a ball of silk thread in my hand. I can't see the beginning and the end, I don't know the beginning and end, and I don't know the quantity. How do I disassemble it?"

"With one strike of the sword, it must be dismantled."

"Since you know it's useless, why break it down?"

"Know what you can do, know what you can't do. To do or not to do?"

"The silk thread is tied to the two ends of good and evil. The evil effect may not be a good cause. Once the silk thread is broken, it will start all over again. After clarifying the source, it can be decomposed by itself."

"Although it is a fresh start, Sheng is entangled in bad karma."

After a dry-mouthed question and answer on the way of Buddhism, Jieyin took a deep breath, looked at the person in front of him and said with emotion: "Little friend is superb in Buddhism, Jieying admires it."

This time, there is no so-called saint status, only the teaching of Buddhism, and the other party's answer gave him a completely different way of thinking about Buddhism, which really made him admire.

"The fruit of the three bodies comes from the mortal roots, and the karma of the six realms has no trace. The good and the dead are never the truth, and the life and death of the withering glory are all empty."

In the end, the line of the poem that Di Rulai put his hands together made Jieyin and Zhunti's eyes shine even more, what a Di Tathagata!

"Little friend is superb in Buddhism. Today, I will explain my doubts to my brothers and sisters. This congenital golden lotus seed is my reward."

At this moment, a very open-minded and smiling finger pointed at the golden lotus seed, which means that your Dharma has been rewarded, and you don’t have to worry about the karma of the golden lotus seed in the future.

The golden lotus seeds fell into the palm of the palm, and Emperor Tathagata slowly got up and bowed to the two of them. At this time, he greeted the two with an open-minded smile and said: "If you come to Western Buddhism, I will respect you." For the Venerable Tathagata of Western Ultimate Bliss, and for me to teach Western Buddhism."

Wow!This introduction is really generous, directly throwing out the position of head teacher of Western Buddhism. In fact, the two saints retreated behind the scenes, but they can still monopolize the power when they come out of the mountain, but before that, the luck of the head teacher was extremely strong .

The head teacher also represents the acting leader.

I secretly praised the courage of Yingyin and Zhunti in my heart, no wonder Duobao, the queen of conferred gods, was so determined to work after entering Buddhism.

When I stopped teaching, I did it for my teacher to promote the sect, but in Buddhism, I did it for myself. How can it be the same? Even if you kicked him away with a foot, he has earned enough for so many years. Not to mention, before they leave, they can also drag their own group of people away.

Jieyin looked at him with a smile on his face, Zhunti's eyes were full of hope, and Emperor Tathagata's indifferent eyes showed a little wavering, showing a trace of hesitation. Secretly, I'm sorry.

"Thank you two saints for your love, but as the two saints said, when the catastrophe comes, I should use my body to protect one soul."

Look, this realization immediately satisfied Jieyin and Zhunti. Obviously, the killing and catastrophe was coming, and the creatures in the world were hiding, but it turned out that they were lucky, and they wanted to go head-on. The purpose was to protect one side of the creatures.

"Little friend, this murder is unusual."

After Zhunti smiled and told all about the murder this time, Emperor Tathagata stood still, shook his head and said, "I have made up my mind, thank you two saints today."

After finishing speaking, under the eyes of Jieyin and Zhunti who were unwilling to part with him, when Di Rulai just turned around and was about to leave, he left a sentence, which immediately brought smiles to their faces.

"If the catastrophe passes safely, the Tathagata will visit the Western Paradise in person in the future to observe the great law of Western Buddhism."

After saying a word, Emperor Tathagata walked away calmly and disappeared on this unnamed mountain. After Jieyin and Zhunti looked at each other, the two smiled even more. They knew that the other party would come to the west to find them.

"Senior Brother, I have a Master of Western Buddhism."

Looking at the excited and happy junior, the suffering face showed a three-pointed smile, "The East is full of outstanding people, and the Emperor Tathagata came to our West, and there is hope for the West's great prosperity."

Emperor Tathagata did not lie. Although it has been a little longer since he conferred the gods and killed the catastrophe, he really went to Western Buddhism, and he did observe Western Buddhist Dafa. different.

The two saints Jieyin and Zhunti smiled and only guessed the beginning of the story, but not the end.

　I beg all fellow Taoists to support you, and the Conferred God will be opened!
