People are among the Eight Immortals, starting from Painted Skin Ghost

Chapter 249 Chapter 252: World-Honored One Tathagata, Han Xiangzi is difficult to see with the Buddha’s eyes; Han Yu’s "Admonition to the Bones of the Buddha" is born! 【Please subscribe】

But what about Han Xiangzi?
The previous life was not the reincarnation of an emperor, nor was it the reincarnation of a deity.

But when he became an immortal, he was awarded by the Jade Emperor as the fourth-grade righteous god, Kaiyuan, Yanfa and Miaodao Star Lord. There is probably a profound meaning in this...

The immortals couldn't guess it and didn't think much about it.

In any case, it is certain that Han Xiangzi will be ranked fourth.

From now on, he will also be a prominent figure in heaven.

……

……

Talk about Yaochi Wonderland.

In the Zangzhen Palace, Immortal Hongya learned that the fate of the dispersion of the religion was over, so he calculated the situation of Xue Yinglong, the reincarnation of Jiaoli Little Fairy Boy beside him in the past, and learned that he had worshiped the old mother Lishan.

at this time.

A sound of laughter resounded in Zangzhen Palace:

"My dear Immortal Hongya, are you in the palace?"

The voice sounded kind, and knowing that it was coming from him, Immortal Hongya immediately walked out of the palace.

As soon as he went out, he saw a great immortal with a white shining head, a fat body and a wide belly, holding a fan in front of him and saying:

"Congratulations to Brother Hongya for gaining a good disciple!"

The person who came was none other than the Barefoot Immortal.

"Brother Immortal, how do you say this?"

Immortal Hongya didn't know that Han Xiangzi was named a fourth-grade righteous god, so he was inevitably confused when he heard this.

The Barefoot Immortal sighed and said in surprise:
"Oh, Immortal Hongya, don't you know that your disciple Han Xiangzi has been named the fourth-grade righteous god Kaiyuan Yanfa Miaodao Star Lord by the Jade Emperor?"

"I have been practicing behind closed doors these past few days and rarely move around. How could I know?"

Immortal Hongya smiled.

Hearing this, the Barefoot Immortal suddenly realized something. He immediately looked around with doubts on his face, pulled the Hongya Immortal and whispered:

"It doesn't matter, your disciple is also canonized today. As soon as I heard about it, I came to your Zangzhen Palace."

"Without further delay, let's go to Du Bacchus' place and ask for a drink with him."

Hongya Immortal was still confused as to why the Barefoot Immortal came to Zangzhen Palace without anything going on.

As soon as he heard that he was going to Du Jiu Shen's place, he immediately understood the latter's intention.

He was afraid that he wanted to take advantage of the fact that Han Xiangzi was awarded the title of Fourth Grade Righteous God, so that he could go to Du Dionysian and ask for a drink.

Thinking about this, Immortal Hongya couldn't help but chuckled:
"It's a lie that Brother Xian came to deliver news, but it's true that he's greedy for alcohol, right?"

After Hongya Immortal saw through his thoughts, Barefoot Immortal's expression did not change and he still smiled:
"A high-ranking disciple of Immortal Friend Hongya has been awarded the title of fourth-grade righteous god. Shouldn't we celebrate?"

"It's natural to celebrate, but only when it comes to light."

Immortal Hongya laughed loudly, with a look of joy on his face.

Regarding the fact that Han Xiangzi could be named a fourth-grade righteous god, Immortal Hongya was still a little unbelievable when he suddenly learned about it.

But since these words came from the mouth of the Barefoot Immortal, he naturally had no doubts.

Looking at it now, he made a good decision by accepting Han Xiangzi as his disciple.

After saying that, the two of them left the Zangzhen Palace together and went to Du Dionysian.

……

……

Western sky.

The top is in the sky of Hanzhong, and the root is in the Lingshan Mountain of Xumi Vein.

The Tathagata Sakyamuni Buddha in the Western Heaven is sitting upright on the golden wheel of merit. At his feet is a vast Buddha land of living beings. It is magnificent and vast, and it is the pure land of the Tathagata's whirling Buddha land.

On this spiritual mountain, the light of Buddhism always shines, with thousands of auspicious colors.

In the mountains are Qihuayao grass, ancient cypresses and pines.

Soaring to the sky, towering in the sky.

You can lower your head to watch the sunset and reach for the flying stars.

The letter from the yellow crane comes to the autumn tree, and the letter from the colorful luan arrives at night when the wind is clear.

The flowers come to the United States in the spring, and the pine trees are green after the rain.

The purple luscious fairy fruit is beautiful every year, and the Danfeng Yixiang is very inspirational.

In addition, both up and down the mountain are the Buddhist Palace, Baoque Palace, and Linguan Pearl Garden.

Talk in the real hall, preach the scriptures in the universe.

There is a treasure temple in this mountain.

It is the Great Leiyin Temple.

In the ancient temple, the Heavenly King's Hall emits rays of rays of light, and the front of the Dharma Protector's Hall spurts purple flames.

There are eight Bodhisattvas, four Vajras, five hundred Arhats, three thousand enlightenments, etc. in the temple.

Each and every one of them is solemn and majestic, and the Buddha is majestic.

At this moment, a monk suddenly arrived on the Lingshan Mountain, stepping on the Buddha lotus.

This person was none other than Nanotarahan.

It was said that since Jin Bifeng, the leader of the San Cult, brought the remaining disciples of the San Cult back to Wuao Island, he could no longer stay in Xiliang, so he went directly back to Xitian Lingshan.

"Meet my Buddha Tathagata!"

When Notarahan arrived at the spiritual mountain, he immediately greeted the golden Buddha sitting high on the mountain with a polite greeting.

Seeing this, Shakyamuni Buddha nodded slightly.

Not long after, above the clouds, a Bodhisattva asked:
"Notarahan, why don't you see those Jialan and Vajra you took away last time?"

This Bodhisattva wears precious clothes and has a Buddha bun on his head. His skin is as soft as snow and frost, his face is soft and graceful. He holds a lotus flower in his left hand, with a Mani pearl on it. In his right hand, he makes the seal of fearlessness. Sitting on the lotus platform.

It is the Bodhisattva who removes obstacles.

This Bodhisattva has already clearly understood the Four Truths, experienced the eight sufferings, and has attained the status of Bodhisattva.

He is one of the eight great Bodhisattvas in the West!

"Bodhisattva, all the Ying Jialan and Vajra led by my disciples died during the calamity of dispersing the religion." Facing the inquiry of Obstruction Remover Bodhisattva, the Nuodarahan said bluntly.

"He actually died all over?"

Obstacle Remover Bodhisattva was slightly startled, a little confused.

at the same time.

In the Lingshan Mountain, other Venerable Arhats also looked at each other.

This time when the religion was dispersed, Buddhism also decided to send some people to deal with the disaster.

I thought that after this disaster, I would be able to come back more or less.

Unexpectedly, Nuodarahan was alone.

This is unexpected.

"Bodhisattva, there is a real man named Dongxiao in the heaven, named Han Xiangzi."

"In the Taoist sect, it seems that he is in charge of the overall situation. This man has extraordinary abilities and vast magical powers. It is said that he is a member of the Supreme Sect. This time he invited Qingxuan Daojun, Jiuyang Daojun, and Duren Daojun from Qingxuan Zuofu. And Taoist Lord Qingwei came, which caused heavy losses to our Buddhist sect."

Seeing many Bodhisattvas and venerables in Lingshan, Luohan Jialan was talking a lot, and he couldn't help but explain quickly.

"Dongxiao Master Han Xiangzi?"

Hearing this, Obstacle Remover Bodhisattva's expression changed slightly.

Immediately, he pinched it with his fingers, closed his eyes, and wanted to use the Buddha's eyes to find out.

Unexpectedly, a moment later, Obstacle Remover Bodhisattva suddenly trembled, his eyes widened, and he murmured to himself:
"How...how could this happen?"

"Since I have cultivated the Buddha's Eyes, there are few things in the world that I cannot discern."

"Who is this Han Xiangzi, and why can't I figure out the variables?!"

The voice fell.

It directly caused an uproar among the Buddhas in Lingshan Mountain.

The Obstruction-Removing Bodhisattva is one of the eight great Bodhisattvas in Buddhism. Even his Buddha's eyes cannot see the depth of this Bodhisattva, which really shocked everyone.

"Wuyou, let me take a look."

Not long after, Shakyamuni Buddha smiled.

Immediately, his eyes blinked, and immeasurable Buddha light surged around him, and there seemed to be a vast Sanskrit sound that resounded throughout the world.

After a few breaths, Sakyamuni Buddha's face became condensed. He no longer held the flowers and smiled like before. He said:

"This Han Xiangzi is the disciple of Zhengyang, the enlightened preacher of the Heavenly Court, and the disciple of the Taoist ancestor. In addition, he is also the descendant of the Taiyi God who saves suffering."

"Not long ago, the Jade Emperor just named this person the Star King of Kaiyuan Yanfa Miaodao." The words fell.

All the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the sky were all expressionless, and they all said in surprise:
"Unexpectedly, Han Xiangzi has such a background, no wonder he can control the Taoist sect."

"He is the descendant of Tianzun. Doesn't that mean he is equivalent to me teaching Buddhist disciples?"

"..."

"Wait a minute! My Buddha Master, was this boy awarded the rank of fourth-grade righteous god just after he became an immortal?"

Suddenly, a Bodhisattva seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly asked Sakyamuni Buddha for enlightenment.

"good."

Shakyamuni Buddha nodded slightly.

"what?!"

"He was called a fourth-grade righteous god just after he became an immortal. How much does the Jade Emperor favor him?"

"Will this son be able to prove that he is a god in the future?"

"..."

At this moment, when the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Lingshan heard this, they were shocked again.

As soon as Han Xiangzi became an immortal, he could be a fourth-grade righteous god.

This is too exaggerated, right?
Everyone was in disbelief for a moment.

But after all, it comes from the mouth of Tathagata, and no one can argue with it.

What's more, in the huge Lingshan Mountain, except for the World-Honored Tathagata, who can watch the footsteps of Han Xiangzi?

Soon, Shakyamuni Buddha raised his hand, and the overwhelming noise came to an abrupt end.

I saw that the World-Honored Tathagata's eyes swept across the Lingshan Mountain, and he responded to the Buddha, Bodhisattvas, Venerables, Arhats, Jialan and others, and said:

"This child has great karma and great fortune, and even greater calamity."

"The spread of Buddhism to the East is about to begin. If it is not necessary, there is no need to fight against him."

After hearing this, everyone in Lingshan quickly put their hands together and responded:
"Follow the decree of the World Honored One!"

……

……

Spring passes and autumn comes, and the frost withers the summer green.

Another three years have passed.

Han Xiangzi has passed away from this world for almost twelve years.

It is said that the Tang Dynasty has been recovering and recuperating for more than ten years, and now it is He Qing Haiyan, creating a prosperous age.

Every time the country celebrates its birthday, people from all over the world come to congratulate it, and all nations come to pay homage.

At that time, his great-uncle Han Yu was already an old man.

Friends such as Liu Zongyuan and Liu Yuxi passed away one after another in the past ten years.

At such an advanced age, Han Yu had already been granted permission by the Holy Spirit to retire and return to his hometown.

For this reason, he returned to Changli five years ago.

The reason why he was able to live for such a long time is that at his birthday party that day, Han Yu consumed a lot of the rare fruits that Han Xiangzi brought back from his travels in the world.

This also makes Han Yu almost at this age, his teeth are still intact, only his temples are gray, and he does not look much different from his sixtieth birthday.

In addition, in the past ten years, Emperor Tang has also passed away.

It has been almost seven or eight years since the new emperor succeeded to the throne.

Although the new Emperor of Tang Dynasty was not a wise king, he was a wise king who accepted advice and appointed people on their merits.

There was only one thing that made Han Yu criticize him, and that was fasting and worshiping Buddha, and his strong belief in Buddhism.

Although the situation was the same when the late emperor was in power, with the help of Master Dongxiao, he put down the chaos of the Western Expedition, and he respected Taoism more than Buddhism.

Unexpectedly, with the introduction of Buddhism into the Tang Dynasty, the new Emperor of the Tang Dynasty respected eminent monks more and more.

As for Han Xiangzi?

He has disappeared from the world for more than ten years.

The older generation may have heard of the Celestial Master Dongxiao Guangji, but the younger generation has become increasingly vague about this Celestial Master.

After all, Buddhism is now becoming more and more prosperous in the Tang Dynasty, while Huang-Lao's studies are slowly declining.

This situation naturally affected the context of the Tang Dynasty.

Many Confucian scholars are also studying Buddhism, which is so-called opportunistic, which leads to the neglect of their studies.

Han Yu had already discovered the shortcomings of this. As a literary emperor of the generation, he was extremely worried.

I found many literary giants and wrote several memorials together, which were entrusted to His Majesty. They denounced the act of favoring the Buddha, pointed out the current shortcomings of the current situation, and actively offered suggestions in the hope that it could be corrected.

Unfortunately, every time the emperor's reply was always vague.

He also asked Han Yu to take care of himself and not worry about state affairs.

Han Yu was helpless against the Holy Emperor's perfunctory behavior.

After several memorials were submitted but failed, he stopped persuading him and had no choice but to give lectures and preach in Changli in person.

It's a pity that he doesn't have any magical means and has little effect.

……

……

It's Japan, Han Mansion.

Han Yuben was in his study, copying the articles of the sages, when suddenly a servant came in and said:
"Sir, this is a letter from Chang'an. Please read it."

"Who sent it?"

Hearing this, Han Yu put down the pen and paper in his hand, took the letter, and asked casually.

"It's Master Liu."

The servant replied.

The Master Liu he mentioned was the son of Liu Yuxi.

Han Yu nodded slightly, opened the letter, held it in front of him and read it carefully.

But before he could take a breath, Han Yuwu's expression suddenly changed, and then he became gloomy.

He looked extremely angry and dissatisfied.

"Old...Master, what are you doing?"

Seeing this, the boy on the side quickly asked bravely.

He had served Han Yu for a long time, and he had almost never seen this well-educated, harmonious, and genial scholar with a stern appearance.

Han Xiangzi slammed the letter on the desk and cursed angrily:
"Confused!"

"Confused!"

"Your Majesty is confused!"

The boy was shocked by Han Yu's words:

"Master, officials are not allowed to criticize!"

Han Yu was furious and said without restraint:
"Why can't we discuss it?"

"I have repeatedly warned the Holy One not to indulge in Buddhism. Now the Holy One actually believes the nonsense of the evil monk and wants to build a Buddhist temple in Chang'an and welcome the Buddha's bones in person? How ridiculous!"

It turns out that Mr. Liu's letter said that Your Majesty, after recently listening to the advice of the eminent monk Hongji, wanted to welcome the Buddha's bones to Chang'an in person.

It can be expected that once the Buddha's bones are welcomed into Chang'an, there will inevitably be a wave of enthusiasm for Buddhism in Chang'an.

By then, Confucianism will have completely withered!
In addition, the majestic emperor of the first generation actually wanted to welcome the Buddha's bones to the capital in person. This was simply unheard of in previous dynasties!

If this "Buddha Bone" could make an immortal contribution to the Tang Dynasty like his grandnephew Han Xiangzi, there would be nothing wrong with welcoming him into the city.

But the so-called "Buddha bones" have not contributed much!
As soon as he thought of this, Han Yu felt that the anger in his heart was hard to go away, and his anger was hard to calm down, as if there was an unquenchable wildfire burning.

He walked out of the house to get some air.

But I feel more and more bored.

Suddenly, Han Yu seemed to have made some kind of important decision. He walked quickly to the study and said to the boy:

"Grind quickly!"

Hearing this, the boy didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly walked to the desk, grinding it familiarly.

Not long after, Han Yu dipped his brush into the pool of black ink, thought for a moment, and then suddenly started writing.

He writes like a dragon and a snake, writing faster and faster.

At this moment, the fire in his heart burned even bigger, seeming to light up the entire room and color the entire paper!
"A certain minister said: Those who bow to the Buddha are Yi Di Yifa..."
