Longevity, starting from raising chickens

"Layman...you actually know this person?"

Facing the surprise of Tianyin Buddha, Wang Ba turned his eyes slightly, glanced at Master Gai who was listening carefully at the side, and whispered:
"Taiyi once heard something about it in the Sea of ​​Chaos."

"The Sea of ​​Chaos?"

The Buddha Tianyin looked surprised.

Master Gai's face was slightly tense. He glanced at Wang Ba, pondered for a moment, and then took over the conversation:

“Tianyin, you don’t know that friend Taiyi came from the other side of the Broken Sea Cliff…”

Upon hearing this, Tianyin Buddha was surprised, his eyes showed a thoughtful expression, he looked up at Wang Ba, his eyes quietly showed a little strangeness, and he said in deep thought:
"You, the layman, were able to come here from the other side of the cliff. I think you must have had some unspeakable experience. But how much do you know about this Buddhist sage?"

Wang Ba thought for a moment, then said:
"Taiyi only knows that this immortal Tibo came from the Second Sea Realm, and he seemed to have a dispute with Immortal Lord Luhe, who also came from the Second Sea Realm. Then, a great war broke out tens of thousands of years ago, and Immortal Lord Luhe died, but Tibo survived. After this war, the myriad realms were destroyed, and the Broken Sea Cliff appeared. However, I don't know much about the details."

Hearing the words 'Luhe Immortal Lord', Tianyin Buddha's eyes became more serious. After hearing that Tiber survived, he shook his head slightly, as if sighing.

After Wang Ba finished speaking, he slowly said:

"You know a lot, so there is no problem. However, there is one thing you may not know. After the battle between the two immortals, Luhe Immortal King died, but Tiber also passed away not long after. His relics are now enshrined in the stupa of this world."

Wang Bawei was a little surprised:
"Tiber has passed away?"

"Then what is this cliff..."

Buddha Tianyin pondered for a moment, but did not say much. Instead, he raised his hand and waved, and suddenly a stream of light flew in from outside the temple.

The stream of light fell into Wang Ba's hands, and when the brilliance faded, it turned out to be an ancient golden page, with densely packed unfamiliar characters engraved on the paper.

At this time, Tianyin Buddha raised his hand and made a hand seal, pointing at Wangba.

When Wang Ba saw this hand seal, he did not resist, because this seal was the seal of wisdom.

Sure enough, after being touched by the handprint, Wang Ba felt his mind become clear. His eyes fell on the golden page, and the originally obscure words suddenly became familiar.

With his current state of mind, he only took a glance and imprinted the words on the golden page in his mind one by one, and then showed a look of surprise.

It turned out that the golden paper recorded the situation witnessed by the monks of the Eastern Glass Buddha Realm before and after the battle between Immortal Lord Luhe and Tiber tens of thousands of years ago.

They vaguely saw that at the beginning of the battle between the two, Tiber first shot out a fiery red light, which pierced the eyes of Immortal Lord Luhe. Then the two of them fought fiercely, the void was shattered, the realm fell, and it was like the end of the world sea...

All the monks in the Eastern Glass Buddha Realm were so frightened that they hid within the realm and trembled in fear.

When the battle was over, they only saw Immortal Lord Luhe being beaten to pieces, and Tiber's head was missing. Not long after, his body also turned into ashes...

Afterwards, five streams of light emanated from Tiber's dead body. Two of them fell near the Eastern Colored Glaze Buddhist Realm, one fell outside the realm and evolved into the future Silkworm Dragon Realm, and the other became a treasure passed down from generation to generation in the Eastern Colored Glaze Buddhist Realm - the Vacuum Staff.

And along with the vacuum staff is Tiber's relic.

When they reacted and prepared to go to the place where the two immortals had fought, they found that they could no longer cross it as they were blocked by a high wall, and there was the Broken Sea Cliff.

Mahayana monks from the Eastern Glass Buddhist world in all generations have gone to the Broken Sea Cliff, trying to comprehend the origin of this cliff.

Some Mahayana monks who practiced Buddhism also tried to comprehend the mystery of the Broken Sea Cliff, but they only sensed that the Broken Sea Cliff was the evolution of the four major rules of Buddhism. They guessed that it should be the work of the immortal Tiber, but other than that, they gained nothing...

After reading the words on the golden page, Wang Ba was thoughtful:
"So, after killing Immortal Lord Lu He, Tiber was not able to leave, but passed away on the spot."

He immediately became more confused:
"If that's the case, who built the two tablets for them in the immortal palace in the Sea of ​​Chaos? And who was the one who brought down Taoist Man when he ascended to heaven?"

He couldn't figure it out, but he might as well ask the question.

When Master Gai and Buddha Tianyin heard what Wang Ba said, they were both a little surprised:
"Why is there such a situation in the Sea of ​​Chaos? The ascension of Mahayana is determined by the rules of the Sea of ​​Chaos. If someone can stop the ascension of Mahayana, doesn't that mean they have the ability to defy the rules of the Sea of ​​Chaos? Even Mahayana cultivators can't do this."

"Could it be that within this sea of ​​chaos... there is another immortal hiding?"

The two looked at each other and couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

Wang Ba couldn't help but say:

"Could it be possible that Tiber is still alive?"

Master Gai shook his head and said:
"It's been so many years, and the records at that time said that Tiber had fallen, and there was no news afterwards. He must have really fallen, but such an existence left some tricks behind. It may not be difficult to intercept a Mahayana cultivator. We can't conclude whether Tiber existed or not based on this."

Tianyin Buddha also had a solemn expression and a thoughtful look in his eyes. Finally, he seemed to have thought of something and said:
"I have read some records in ancient books. It is said that many thousands of years ago, there was not much barrier between the Third World Sea and the Second World Sea. Even immortals who ascended to the upper realms could return to the Third World Sea. However... since the battle between Tiber and Luhe Immortal Lord, no immortal has returned from the Third World Sea."

"Tiber was originally an existence that ascended from my world. According to records, after returning to my world, he mentioned that there were many forces in the Second World Sea, and that they were also constantly fighting each other and had their own calculations. He came to this world to resolve this matter."

The words of Tianyin Buddha were incoherent and seemed illogical, but Wang Ba did get some meaning from them.

In an instant, he remembered what the two said when he saw Immortal Lord Lu He and Ti Bo playing chess in the Immortal Palace.

At that time, Immortal Lord Luhe and Tiber's words and deeds both showed that they were unwilling to have a conflict, but due to certain existences in the Second Sea Realm, they had to become two chess pieces in a bigger game.

At this moment, Wang Ba thought of what Tianyin Buddha said:

"Could it be that when Immortal Lord Luhe and Tiber came to the lower world, one of them wanted to prevent the immortals in the Second Sea from returning to the Third Sea?"

"But why do we need to seal off the Sea of ​​Chaos? What's the secret behind this?"

My mind was filled with a thousand thoughts and confusion. The more I knew, the more confused I became.

Soon he remembered something even more crucial, and couldn't help but look at Tianyin Buddha and asked:

"Since Tiber has fallen, what about this Supreme True Buddha?"

Hearing this question, Tianyin Buddha said seriously this time:
"That's what you just said. Tiber tampered with the core of Mahayana Buddhism. According to the records of the sages in the world, when Tiber came to the world, he proposed that all monks in the Glass Buddha World should practice Mahayana Buddhism. However, the Eastern Glass Buddha World has always practiced the way of Hinayana Buddhism. This tradition has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Even if Tiber is a powerful person in the Second Sea, he cannot change this in a short time."

"Tibo did not do anything to the Glass Buddha Realm at that time because of the opposition of the monks in his realm. Instead, he passed down some Mahayana Buddhist scriptures. These, as you said, actually exist in my realm as well, but they have been shelved."

Wang Ba frowned slightly when he heard this, and wondered:

"Since Tiber's Buddhism had long been shelved, how was it possible for Kong Chanzi, who was born in the Kokura world, to practice Mahayana Buddhism in the first place?"

He was confused, but seeing that Tianyin Buddha was still continuing, he did not interrupt.

Tianyin Buddha continued:
"But at that time, Tiber called himself the 'True Buddha' and preached that one does not need to seek afterlife to become a Buddha in this life, and there is no need to seek to ascend to heaven. It is said that this did attract many monks to follow him. These people followed Tiber, and some realms also followed him."

"However, Tibo and Luhe Xianjun had a great war afterwards, and many of their realms were destroyed. Since then, the predecessors in the realm have never heard of the news of this 'True Buddha'. It was not until many tens of thousands of years later that the monks who traveled outside reported the whereabouts of the 'Supreme True Buddha'. Only then did they discover that Tibo's teachings had actually taken root in another part of the sea of ​​​​boundaries..."

Wang Ba couldn't help but frowned and said:

"So, the Eastern Glazed Buddha Realm has actually known about the Supreme Buddha a long time ago?"

Buddha Tianyin nodded slightly.

Gai Zhenren beside him also said:

"When the Supreme Buddha first appeared near the four realms of Broken Sea Cliff, we had already communicated with Tianyin. But we never thought that the Supreme Buddha would come so aggressively and head straight for us. The Silkworm Dragon Realm and the Void Demon Realm were not on guard and were quickly conquered by the Supreme Buddha."

Wang Ba was silent for a while after hearing this, and then slowly talked about the news that Xiahou Tianmo had revealed before. This news had already been learned by Master Gai from Wang Ba, but the Buddha Tianyin was not very clear about the situation. When he heard that the Buddha Tianshang might ascend to heaven, he could not help but be a little surprised:

"Tian Shang is going to ascend? This, this seems unlikely."

He said "seems", but his tone was full of certainty.

Wang Ba and Master Gai looked at each other, both somewhat puzzled.

Master Gai couldn't help but ask:

"Why is it unlikely?"

"Given his realm, even if he ascends now, it is normal, right?"

Tianyin Buddha did not hide anything and explained:
"There is nothing wrong with the teachings of the Supreme Buddha, but he changed the ultimate goal. There is no need to seek afterlife or ascension. He can create a human Buddhist kingdom in the third sea and enjoy bliss. Since Tianshang is the Buddha of the human Buddhist kingdom, how could he possibly ascend to the upper realm?"

Wang Ba frowned and said:

"That's not quite right. If Tianshang Buddha will not ascend, then logically speaking, the Buddhas before Tianshang Buddha should not have ascended either. According to the life span of Mahayana cultivators, the position of Buddha has been replaced by more than a dozen over the years. How could so many people be willing to die at the end of their lives? Therefore, there must be a previous Buddha who has ascended. If that's the case, why is it impossible for Tianshang Buddha to ascend as well?"

"And I heard that it's because the realm of this Tianshang Buddha is too high, so the entire sea of ​​​​boundaries can no longer allow such a being to stay. Maybe it's not a matter of whether he is willing or not, but whether he can do it, right?"

Tianyin Buddha couldn't help but frown:
"What the layman said does make sense, but if he really ascends to heaven, it would be contrary to the essence of the Buddhist teachings he preaches..."

Wang Ba couldn't help but shook his head:
"These monks of the Supreme Buddha are just wearing a layer of Buddhist robes. They are all demons inside. How can they care about the meaning of the scriptures?"

After thinking about it, he suddenly had an idea and raised his hand to release an Arhat he had captured before.

Seeing this arhat, Tianyin Buddha and Gai Zhenren both looked at Wang Ba with some confusion.

Wang Ba did not hide it:
"These monks have all been affected by the four major rules of Buddhism, and their temperaments have changed drastically. If we can reverse these rules, we might be able to restore the minds of these monks and help them escape. If we can do this, we will not be fighting alone. As long as we continue to capture these monks, sooner or later we will be able to completely wipe out the Supreme Buddha."

He had previously sent a cultivator from the Sea of ​​Chaos who was contaminated by the Water of the Six Paths to Bai Lechan, but he thought that they didn't have a better way to break it. The Eastern Colored Glaze Buddhist Realm was the orthodox Buddhist sect in the Third Sea of ​​the World. If there was anyone who could possibly break the Water of the Six Paths, it would probably be the Buddha Lord Tianyin.

Upon hearing this, Gai Zhenren and Tianyin Buddha both showed expressions of interest.

Tianyin Buddha's gaze immediately fell on the Arhat, and soon his expression became serious. He slowly shook his head and said:
"I am not practicing Mahayana Buddhism, nor am I practicing earth, fire, water, and wind."

Wang Ba was slightly stunned, a little surprised:

"Why?"

Tianyin Buddha explained:
"The four elements of earth, fire, water and wind are not mainstream in this world. It is very difficult to practice without a special environment. Therefore, few monks in this world practice the four elements. Most of them are actually no different from cultivators, but they have added some unique Buddhist concepts, so they are slightly different. However, there are people who practice the four elements in this world. I will give this Arhat to him later and let him study it carefully."

At this time, Master Gai could not help but frown and said, "Tianyin, if the Buddha Lord Tianshang is not going to ascend, with the abilities of Xiahou Tianmo and I, even with the Lord of Jingku, I am afraid we are still no match for the Buddha Lord Tianshang, and you..."

He looked at Tianyin Buddha hesitantly and shook his head.

Seeing this, Tianyin Buddha naturally understood Master Gai's concerns, but he couldn't help but burst into laughter:
"Although my foundation has been damaged, I plan to reincarnate and rebuild, but that will take some time. I think I should be able to hold on until the day when we join forces to fight the enemy."

When Wang Ba heard this, his heart moved.

He originally heard Master Gai say that Buddha Tianyin's foundation had been severely damaged because of his fight against Buddha Tianshang and that he might pass away at any time, so he had given up the plan of inviting the other party to break through the Immortal Pass together, and therefore he had never mentioned the matter until now.

And from what Lord Tianyin Buddha said at this moment, he is not a candle in the wind. On the contrary, he can still hold on for quite a while. So, there is still some room for him to turn around.

Upon hearing this, Master Gai nodded slightly, as if he was relieved. He then looked at Yan Po Luo, who was listening at the side with his head lowered and had not spoken, and asked with a smile:

"After you have completed your cultivation, it will be Yamabhara who will take over, right? He is about the same age as Lechan, and his realm and cultivation are very similar. I'm afraid that the Liuli Buddha Realm will rely on him in this generation."

However, Tianyin Buddha shook his head slightly:

"It's not him. The future Buddha will be someone else."

Yama's face was calm, as if he had known it for a long time. Upon hearing this, he just smiled faintly at Master Gai, without any emotion.

Master Gai frowned and asked doubtfully:
"In your Eastern Glazed Buddha Realm, is there anyone else who can enter the Mahayana stage in the near future?"

The Buddha Tianyin smiled calmly:
"Of course not. There is another one named Jituo Luo. Although his cultivation level is close, it will take some time. Therefore, Yan Bola is already the one with the highest cultivation level in the world. However, his cultivation level is not a problem. I will pass it on to the future Buddha..."

After thinking for a while and looking at Master Gai and Wang Ba, he suddenly thought of something and said with a smile:
"Master Taiyi is the true disciple of the Silkworm Dragon Realm, and Master Gai is here..."

"That's perfect. I'll call him over so you can get to know him. Please take good care of him in the future."

Master Gai stroked his beard and nodded, somewhat curious.

Wang Ba didn't even dare to say it.

At that moment, the Buddha Lord Tianyin used his telepathy to transmit his voice thousands of miles away.

After a few breaths, Wang Ba realized something and looked outside the palace.

Then a golden light flew over and enveloped a figure. The pure white monk's robe was fluttering. The figure looked like a young man with a gentle face and a faint smile. There was an auspicious red mole on the center of his brow. He landed outside the hall and walked slowly over.

Looking at this figure, Wang Ba's heart could not help but tremble. In a corner of his mind that he had almost forgotten, he found a little memory of this person:
"Xinyuan?!"

"He is actually the future Buddha?!"

The only monk in Xitaozhou, one of the nine continents of the former Xiaocang Realm, sacrificed himself to repair the sky due to the great flood, but was trapped by his inner demons. He was eventually awakened by Wang Ba and achieved Nirvana and ascended to heaven!
Although his facial features had changed, his demeanor and temperament had hardly changed.

That's why Wang Ba recognized it at a glance.

I couldn't believe it in my heart, but at that moment, I thought about it and felt it was natural.

Being able to achieve the state of refining emptiness in the Dharma-Ending Age, there is no need to elaborate on the talent and ability of Master Xinyuan. What is even more rare is that he has a fearless heart of compassion and saving the world. The fact that he did not hesitate to sacrifice his body to fill the membrane eye is proof of this.

The combination of the two makes him the best candidate for the future Buddha in this glass Buddhist world where everyone is his own.

The young monk walked into the hall, looking straight ahead, and bowed slightly to Tianyin Buddha and Yama:

"Xinyuan, I have seen the Buddha and the abbot."

Then he looked at Master Gai and Wang Ba. When he saw Master Gai, he didn't change at all. But when he saw Wang Ba, he was startled at first, then he couldn't help but raised his hand to rub his eyes, with a look of astonishment on his face:

"Wang, Wang Xiaoyou?!"

"Why are you here?"

Hearing this address, Wang Ba no longer had any doubts in his heart, and a look of joy appeared on his face. He nodded happily and said:
"The Bodhisattva is destined to meet you. It is true that we meet each other everywhere in life... I didn't expect to see the Bodhisattva here."

Tianyin Buddha was a little surprised when he saw this:
"Do you know?"

Xinyuan hesitated for a moment and looked at Wang Ba.

Wang Ba smiled and nodded, not disguising:

"Both I and Master Xinyuan are from the Ogura world."

Tianyin Buddha suddenly understood and then sighed:

"There is such a fate."

Master Gai on the side frowned slightly:
"Middle stage of fusion? Tianyin, even if you, the Buddhist sect, can perform the initiation method, this foundation is a little too weak, isn't it? Can you handle it?"

Xinyuan looked puzzled.

Yama, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up:

"The real person has misunderstood. The future Buddha is not the one who is destined by heart."

Master Gai and Wang Ba were both stunned and couldn't help but look at Buddha Tianyin.

Tianyin Buddha nodded slightly, looked at Xinyuan, and asked with a smile:
"I asked him to come over, why did he ask you to come over instead?"

Xin Yuan felt a little helpless when he heard this, but still told the truth:
"He said his fate was coming and he needed to prepare, so he asked me to go first... to delay for a while."

"Prepare for something?"

When the people in the hall heard this, they were all stunned.

"The future Buddha's style of doing things is somewhat... hehe, eclectic."

Master Gai couldn't help but speak.

Tianyin Buddha showed a bitter smile, and seemed helpless against this future Buddha.

There was a hint of seriousness and uneasiness on Yamabharata's face, as if he had thought of something bad.

It's rare to speak out:
"Lord Buddha, I'll go take a look."

Tianyin Buddha waved his hand, very tolerantly, and said with a smile:
"Forget it, let him be for now."

Upon hearing this, Yamabharata had to stop in his tracks, but his face showed even more worry.

Only Wang Ba could not help but feel a sense of familiarity with this style of behavior, and even had a strange premonition...

And at this moment.

Several people felt something in their hearts and looked outside the hall.

But I saw the nine layers of the sky shattered like glass, and golden patterns spread like a spider web.

A figure clad in a gilded cassock, shed thousands of layers of precious light, slowly stepped out from the sky above Mount Sumeru. Every step he took turned the void into ripple-shaped Buddhist patterns. As a thousand-petal golden lotus blossomed under his feet, a twelve-petal lotus pedestal holding a nine-ring tin staff rose up. The pearl on the staff head burst into colorful light, turning this small world into a sea of ​​​​glass mirror.

The outlines of the Buddha kingdoms of the heavens appeared behind him amid the chanting in Sanskrit. The eight celestial dragons were circling, and their scales were all coated with Buddha's light. Vajra warriors were holding demon-subduing pestles to protect him on both sides. He looked like a young man, with red lips, white teeth, and eyes as bright as stars, as if he could see through illusions.

He said leisurely:
“All phenomena are empty shadows, and one thought is Bodhi.

The wind blows through the mountains and makes them quiet; the clouds come down from the valleys and make them low.

If your heart is free of dust, where can you get involved in trouble?
The bright moon shines upon the universe, and freedom is the Tathagata. "

But the Buddha's words were like a mighty bell, shattering the sky and scattering relics all over the sky. Each of them reflected the image of the Pure Land in the void, like a golden rain curtain falling on the earth, dyeing the three thousand miles of Mount Xumi into the color of glass...

At this moment, everyone inside and outside the hall couldn't help but look up, shocked by such a grand occasion.

This kind of scene is likely to be similar to that experienced by the immortals from the Second Sea Realm when they descend to the world.

Inside the palace.

Master Gai was stunned, but couldn't help laughing:

"This future Buddha of your world is indeed very interesting."

Even though the Buddha Tianyin had a high state of mind, he looked a little embarrassed in front of his old friend:
"Haha, pure heart, pure heart..."

Yama's face turned pale, which was unusual for him. He lowered his head and said nothing, as if he was so ashamed that he wanted to hide under his feet.

Xinyuan seemed to have gotten used to it long ago, and could only look at Wang Ba with a helpless smile.

Seeing this figure in a cassock, even though his face had changed, Wang Ba felt the massive amount of information coming to him in his mind. His face remained unchanged, but his heart was already filled with waves of surprise:
"Good boy! You really didn't lie to me!"

"This is more than just a connection with the upper realm... It was a close call. I almost got caught by him."

Between the mind and the soul.

But the dazzling young monk wearing a gilded cassock slowly descended with a smile, holding him and his Zen staff on a lotus platform. With a wave of his sleeve, the eight heavenly dragons and Vajra warriors following him immediately scattered like birds and beasts...

The young monk's face froze involuntarily, and he cursed in his heart.

Fortunately, he was very thick-skinned and didn't care at all. He raised his palm in front of him, bowed slightly, and said to the Buddha Tianyin from a distance:
"Master Kong, I have seen the Buddha, I have seen the abbot, I have seen Master Gai, I have seen..."

"Taiyi layman." (End of chapter)
