Chapter 820 The Lower Bound

In the Purple Bamboo Forest of Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea, the Fish Basket Guanyin Bodhisattva sat quietly on a lotus platform. After closing his eyes and pondering for a while, he left the temple and went straight to Lingshan.

On Mount Sumeru, Maitreya Buddha sits on the ninth-level lotus platform of merit, and his spirit is traveling around the universe, spreading Buddhism.

In some worlds at this time, he is still the Buddha from the East, the future Buddha of the three ages. Now that he has ascended to the position of Buddha in the present world, he must spread it in order to attain the fruit position.

Suddenly, a gatekeeper Vajra came to report that a Taoist boy, holding a golden and jade tablet, was at the foot of Mount Sumeru. It turned out that Laojun had just refined a furnace of elixir and invited him, the Buddhist leader, to a banquet to taste the elixir.

Maitreya Buddha then ordered the gate-guarding Vajra to bring the boy in, and the boy presented the jade slip.

After seeing this, Maitreya ordered his attendants, the novice monks, to prepare the Dharma stand and then prepared to go to the Bajing Palace for the banquet.

As Maitreya Buddha just walked out of the main hall, a cloud of light came from afar, and on the lotus platform of the cloud of light sat a Bodhisattva in white.

The Bodhisattva in White was naturally none other than Guanyin with Fish Basket who had hurried over. When she saw Maitreya, she clasped her hands together and called out "World Honored One"!
"Where is the great master coming from?!"

When Maitreya saw Fish Basket Bodhisattva coming, he was also a little surprised, and quickly stood up from the Dharma chair to greet him.

In fact, the relationship between Maitreya and Fish Basket Bodhisattva is not harmonious, and even the word "appearance is harmonious but spirit is not" is not enough to describe it.

At that time, the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Orthodox School committed a crime that killed the gods and had to go down the mountain to survive the crime, which triggered the Conferred Gods Tribulation.

The original deity of Fish Basket Bodhisattva, Avalokitesvara, was incarnated as Taoist Cihang, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan School.

At that time, Maitreya was still a direct disciple of the Taoist Master Jie Yin.

The West was poor and talented people were dwindling, so the two leaders, Jie Yin and Zhunti, had to go around begging for money to bring some talents to their Western sects.

During the Conferred God Tribulation, the two of them seized the opportunity and scraped a spoonful of the thick soup from the bottom of the soup pot.

Not only did he convert three thousand mortals from the Jiejiao sect to Buddhism, but he also undermined the Chan sect by cutting off the source of its support.

Thanks to these people, Western religions flourished.

However, this also laid the seeds for the later debate between Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism. After all, there were only two or three big and small cats in Western religions at that time.

The two leaders obtained benefits from the Jie Religion and converted more than 3,000 Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Arhats in one go.

This is like a small company with only a dozen people in total, and the chairman suddenly hired hundreds of managers from outside.

Who does this company belong to?
Not to mention the leader of the Human Religion, the Lord of Morality, who seems to be non-competitive and will not take action unless he does. But once he takes action, he will change the background of their Buddhism.

With one move, he transformed the barbarians into Buddhas and supported the Taoist Duobao to sit on the throne of the Buddha of Lingshan.

When Buddhism was founded, this position should have been occupied by Maitreya, as he was the true saint of Western religion.

Unfortunately, this involves a level 1 game with the leader, so even the number of days can be changed.

Maitreya Buddha attained enlightenment at the beginning of the universe, and was also a congenital god and demon. He was also taught personally by the saint Jie Yin, so naturally he was resentful that his opportunity was snatched away from him.

But he was helpless. Although he had a high level of cultivation and strong magical powers, he was still far inferior to Duobao Tathagata, the eldest brother of the Jiejiao sect.

What's more, at that time, 90% of the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas in Lingshan were junior brothers of Duobao Tathagata, so what could Maitreya use to compete with him?

Thus, Maitreya waited in the position of the future Buddha for 5.6 billion years until Duobao Tathagata passed away. He returned to his original nature and was reborn as Duobao Taoist, then left this world with the saint of Jiejiao.

Only then did he ascend to the position of the present Buddha, the World Honored One of Lingshan.

Among the several great Bodhisattvas in Lingshan, Guanyin, Samantabhadra and Manjusri are none other than the Taoist Master Cihang, Taoist Master Samantabhadra and Taoist Master Manjusri who were among the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Teaching.

The lower the level, the stricter the view on sectarianism and religious differences. On the contrary, when one reaches a certain level, the boundaries become more blurred.

This is like the battle between the red and blue. While the soldiers at the bottom are fighting each other, the relationship between the upper levels is complicated, and there are many relatives, classmates, and alumni.

At that time, the Taoist priests Dipankara, Cihang, Samantabhadra and Manjusri were afraid that Liu Sun and the other five would enter Buddhism, and this might have been approved by the saint of Chan Buddhism.

When one reaches their level of practice, there is no such thing as breaking away from the sect or betraying the religion. Just like Guanyin in Buddhism is the Great Bodhisattva Guanyin, and in Taoism there is also the true body of the Taoist Master Cihang.

Although there was a real fight between the Orthodox and Unorthodox sects back then, after the Orthodox sect entered Buddhism, the immortals still chose to support Duobao Tathagata.

Now the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara went out to sea with the two saints to seek the way, while the Bodhisattva Fish Basket stayed in Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea and did not come out. Now he actually came to Lingshan, he could not help but be surprised.

Maitreya is now the Buddha of Lingshan, his past is gone, and when he saw Fish Basket Bodhisattva, his face was full of smiles.

The Bodhisattva of the Fish Basket said, "Because there has been a change in the Infinite Heaven of the Northern Ocean, I have come to see the Buddha!"

"Is there any change in the Infinite Heaven of the North Sea?" Maitreya's face changed slightly, and he moved his fingers under the sleeves of his monk's robe, using his Dharma Eye to search the three realms. After a moment, he sighed:
"The sea of ​​suffering is boundless. Even immortals are not immune to greed, anger, and ignorance. Several Taoists in Yuxu Palace are burdened by their obsessions. The Three Realms may be in turmoil again!"

The philosophy of the Chan sect is to explain the way of heaven. During the calamity of the Conferred Gods, the Chan sect was in charge of the Conferred Gods. Most of the gods in heaven obeyed the edicts of Yuanshi.

Having tasted the sweetness once, the Chan sect wanted to repeat the old tradition of conferring gods, but the way of heaven now was beyond the ability of their Chan sect to explain.

If you want to exercise the power of heaven, you should first ask the Buddhists whether it is allowed.

Fish Basket Bodhisattva listened quietly to Maitreya's sigh. She was Fish Basket Bodhisattva, not Cihang Taoist, so she naturally stood on the side of Buddhism.

Otherwise, she would not have come here after getting the news.

"Buddha, now that the Yuxu Palace is interfering with the Beiming Wuliangtian and starting killings, I'm afraid they are thinking of re-establishing the heavenly court. How should we deal with it?" asked the Bodhisattva of the Fish Basket.

Maitreya Buddha's heart was moved, and he thought to himself: "When Tathagata was in power, Lingshan was suppressed by the Heavenly Court for countless calamities. Now that the Heavenly Court has collapsed, only Lingshan can suppress the Three Realms for eternity. The matter of rebuilding the Heavenly Court must not be allowed!"

"Great Master! The succession of dynasties in the human world has caused endless killings. The Taoist's attempt to reshape the heaven will probably cause a catastrophe that will sweep across the three realms. Even we will not be able to escape."

Maitreya Buddha waved the beads in his hand and said slowly: "For the sake of all sentient beings in the three realms, we must not let them make mistakes!"

“Buddha! I understand!” Guanyin with Fish Basket understood Maitreya Buddha’s intention and did not point it out at the moment. She saluted Maitreya Buddha eleven times.

"I'm going to the Bajing Palace to attend Laojun's Danyuan Dharma Assembly. There have been many demonic disasters recently. Please remind them not to let the disciples' mounts be infected with demonic energy and escape to the lower world to cause trouble. Otherwise, I will definitely punish them for negligence!"

Maitreya Buddha touched his open belly and said with a smile that he was on the rack.

"Receive the decree!"

Maitreya Buddha set out on his journey to the Thirty-three Heavens and went straight to the Eight Scenery Palaces in Taiqing Heaven.

When the Fish Basket Bodhisattva saw that Maitreya Buddha had left, he went to the Lingshan Mountain to teach the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Lingshan Mountain is vast, with Zen forests everywhere, and countless Buddhas have opened up Buddhist kingdoms here.
In a first-class Buddhist cave at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, rich earth vein spiritual energy rose from the ground and turned into wisps of purple spiritual energy swirling around.
The nourishment makes the branches and leaves of the pomelo flowers here bloom more and more densely.

It is spring all year round here, and the rocks everywhere are rare treasures, emitting light day and night, so bright that you can see your reflection in the light both day and night.

However, there was not the slightest peaceful Buddhist atmosphere here. When Fish Basket Bodhisattva arrived at this time, he looked around with his Dharma Eye and saw an atmosphere of murderous destruction everywhere.

Tens of millions of Buddhist monks and Vajra warriors are training with military methods, practicing all kinds of combat formations and magical powers with great destructive power. A Buddhist cave is like a huge military camp.

Fish Basket Bodhisattva was not surprised by this, because the owner of this room was the Vaipulya Deva of Lingshan.

Vaisravana attained enlightenment during the Conferred God Period and once had a great reputation. Later, he became a saint in the flesh and became the commander-in-chief of the heavenly court, known as the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li.

Later, when the Heavenly Palace was in trouble, he practiced in seclusion in Lingshan and took charge of Lingshan’s military affairs. His magical powers were not inferior to those of the Bodhisattvas and Golden Immortals.

When the Fish Basket Bodhisattva arrived, Vaisravana was drinking with the Altar Purifier Bodhisattva.

One of them was once the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, and the other was a marshal commanding the Tianhe navy. They both converted to Buddhism one after another.

They are both old friends and confidants. Ever since he was set up as a honey trap at the Qionggui Banquet, the Bodhisattva of the Purifier of the Altar has come to the place of the Heavenly King Vaisravana.

I enjoy delicious food and fine wine here every day and drink until I am drunk.

Vaisravana and the Bodhisattva Purifier of the Altar are not simple and honest people to begin with, so naturally they do not respect the Buddhist precepts.

The Lord of Heaven, Vaisravana, was frightened when he saw such a powerful battle in the deep sea, so he just enjoyed himself to relax.

With their cultivation level, they are able to enjoy this enjoyment until now.

Vaisravana is the lord of this cave. When he was in heaven, he was in a high position and had great power. He had no shortage of money and incense, and he had plenty of money.

The place was filled with luxurious items, including fine wine and delicious food, and gorgeous clothes. The God of Wealth even called several of his adopted daughters to accompany him.

The temple here is countless times better than that of the Purifier of the Altar Bodhisattva. The Purifier of the Altar was so happy with it that he didn't even want to go back to the temple and stayed here.

When the Fish Basket Bodhisattva arrived, the Altar Purifier Bodhisattva was already a little tipsy. Through his drunken eyes, he saw a novice monk leading the Bodhisattva to arrive.

His drunkenness instantly dissipated, and he quickly stood up with Vaisravana to greet him.

"Bodhisattva, I haven't seen you for a long time. How come you have the time to come to Lingshan today!"

"Something happened to Wuliangtian in the North Sea. The Buddha ordered me to inspect the sacred mountain. Don't let the spiritual beasts and mounts go down to the mortal world and become demons. I am tired of walking, so I came to the Heavenly King to ask for a cup of tea!"

The Fish Basket Bodhisattva has a smile on her face.

Vaisravana and the Bodhisattva Purifier of the Altar did not dare to neglect him and immediately invited him to sit at the head of the table. They also ordered the banquet to be removed and tea and snacks to be served.

The three of them were enjoying tea and chatting leisurely.

After drinking a cup of tea from Vaisravana, Fish Basket Bodhisattva said goodbye and left.

As soon as she left, the faces of Vaisravana and the Bodhisattva of Purification of the Altar turned gloomy, and both of them remained silent.

After a while, Vaisravana looked at the Bodhisattva, the Purifier of the Altar, and said, "Before, the Sandalwood Merit Buddha suffered a disaster, and several Buddhas have fallen from the abyss of the sea. It seems that another great disaster is coming. I am afraid that we will not be able to escape this time!"

The Bodhisattva, the messenger of the altar, frowned and smiled bitterly: "With a great immortal opening the calamity, this calamity is indeed fierce.
Moreover, I think this calamity should be aimed at Buddhism. It has only been a short time since the Heavenly Palace suffered the calamity. Is there really no pure land in the world?

It's a pity that I couldn't resolve the cause and effect. Otherwise, if I succeeded and achieved the Great Dao, I would have a better chance of resisting the disaster! This is my fate!"

"We have been staying at Lingshan Mountain and have not gone out. I think even if the tide of disaster is strong, it can't harm us!" said the Heavenly King Vaisravana.

The Bodhisattva, the messenger of the altar, smiled bitterly: "Heavenly King, please don't forget that the old monk has attained nirvana in Lingshan!"

The Lord of Heaven moved the corners of his mouth and said no more.

The Bodhisattva, the messenger of the altar, shook his head and said, "Forget it. This is a blessing, not a disaster. If it is a disaster, it cannot be avoided. I, the old pig, will fight for this calamity. If I become another Buddha in Lingshan, then everything will be over!"

"I will go to the North Sea Wuliangtian for a trip. Your adopted daughters will also accompany me. It will also be a good opportunity to give her an explanation!"

Soon, several golden lights came out of Lingshan and went straight to the Wuliangtian in the North Sea.

Over the following hundreds of years, many of the Bodhisattvas at Lingshan, the Buddha's mounts, and the little boys were lost for unknown reasons.

In the Wuliangtian of the Northern Ming Dynasty, especially around the Great Victory Kingdom, many demon kings with mysterious origins appeared one after another, and they had many disputes with the local demon kings.

Luo Daoren and the others naturally did not know about the affairs of Lingshan. After they had hollowed out hundreds of mountains in Beiming Wuliangtian, they did not dare to stay in Beiming Wuliangtian for long.

He went straight out of the boundless sky of the North Sea and returned to the deep sea.

The tide in the deep sea has passed, and the area has fallen into danger again. Even the Beiming Palace's treasured sea-crossing boats dare not easily set foot in the deep sea, for fear of being swept away by the tides of time and space.

If it weren't for Tang Song's Zhu Jiuyin and the incarnation of Emperor Jiang joining forces, they would have used their great magic power to take the core of the collapsed reincarnation universe, imitated the golden bridge of creation in the Tai Chi diagram as a basis, integrated it with the way of time and space, and refined a rainbow bridge to lead people out.

This allowed the people of Taixu Fairyland to travel smoothly between Yuanhaixu Realm and the heaven.

Luo Daoren and his companions were also very fast. In just over a month, they passed through the Northern Ocean, the Infinite Heaven, and the Great Desolate Star Region.
From the place of the deep sea, they made talismans, burned incense and prayed. In less than an incense stick of time, a rainbow bridge extended from the depths of the deep sea.

Everyone stepped onto the rainbow bridge and were soon led back to the Taixu Fairyland.

The thousands of demon kings and hundreds of millions of demon soldiers they had gathered instantly filled the empty Taixu Fairyland with people.

Fortunately, in recent years, various detection equipment, quantum satellites, salvage robots, and hovering loops from the Tiangong Palace have not only salvaged various weapons and armor, and corpses of immortals in the abyss, but have also discovered several secret areas in the abyss.

It was enough to accommodate these demon kings and demon soldiers. After being recruited, these demon kings were placed in secret realms in batches.

In these secret realms, these restricted demon kings opened up their own caves and hilltops, and began to recuperate, train, and practice.

With the various secret manuals passed down from the Heavenly Book Palace, the cultivation of these demon kings and demon soldiers improved rapidly.

After Taoist Luo and his companions settled these demon kings, they brought valuable gifts to the shore of the Abyss Sea and visited the Immortal Ruyi.

Led by this immortal, they went to Beiming Palace, paid homage to the Emperor of Beiming, and told him that their ancestor was in seclusion.
Because he was forced by the Great Victory Kingdom, he had to temporarily leave Bei Ming Wuliang Tian.
