This fox fairy is too inhuman

"Greetings to the Lord Buddha."

After passing through a long road that seemed to have no end, Mingxin finally saw the Buddha in front of a simple wooden house.

He was really as young as the master had described. He did not look like the mountain that had oppressed the Western Desert Divine Land for a whole hundred years. It was hard to tell that he was the one who brought everyone together a hundred years ago.

He had no ornaments on his body and looked very simple. He really looked like a young monk that could be seen anywhere, sitting cross-legged barefoot in front of a small tree with a bloody color.

But Mingxin did not dare to be the slightest bit presumptuous.

Those eyes clearly looked exceptionally clear, but when one looked closely, one could sense in them the traces left by a long period of time.

Because just because the young monk was sitting there, Mingxin felt tremendous pressure.

At that moment, he seemed to be facing the entire Lingshan Mountain, or even the entire world.

It's impossible to look straight at.

Mingxin didn't dare to look any more, didn't dare to think any more, he could only bow his head deeply and kneel respectfully before the Buddha.

Here, every move of the Buddha is like the way of heaven, and He is the ultimate truth of this world.

"Child, get up."

"Haha, don't be nervous." The moment the Buddha's warm voice sounded, the pressure on Mingxin's body was swept away, and he no longer had the feeling of being scrutinized by heaven and earth.

"Come, sit here."

Mingxin knew that he had passed this first hurdle.

If the Buddha feels that he has no affinity with him and does not want to see him right from the start, then no matter how prepared Mingxin is, he will not be able to meet the conditions for Buddha's affinity, and everything will be over.

Mingxin stood up, obediently sat on the cushion pointed by the Buddha, and bowed again.

"Are you the one who stood out from the candidates for Buddha this time? What's your name?"

"Reporting to the Buddha, my disciple Mingxin is the abbot of Kurong Temple this generation."

“Withered and prosperous…”

After hearing this, the Buddha seemed a little melancholy. He seemed to be thinking of something, and he kept muttering the words "withering and flourishing". He did not reply for a while.

"Master Jinglian is my master." Mingxin took the initiative to speak upon seeing this, took out the things that had been prepared long ago, and presented them to the Buddha with both hands.

"My master has ordered me to take these to Lingshan after his death and give them to the Buddha."

In his palm was a jade slip and a relic with a faint colorful glow.

The Buddha came back to his senses from his memories. His expression did not change. He took the relic from Mingxin's hand, rubbed it gently on his palm and said, "Relic...are you gone too?"

"I had high hopes for your master back then, but unfortunately he later refused to seek my advice and insisted on his own opinion. He went astray and left Lingshan alone. I didn't expect that he would not even come to see me in the end."

"You know what? The original Buddhist disciple of this generation was not Jiexing, but your master. Although he is not powerful enough, I like his insights into Buddhism very much."

"As long as he agrees to become a Buddhist disciple, I have countless ways to help him improve his strength, but he rejected them all and chose to leave Lingshan alone. This has always made me feel very regretful."

"And now, as his disciple, you can actively choose to become a Buddhist disciple and come to this point... It's very good."

The Buddha nodded slightly, as if he was very satisfied with Mingxin's return to the right path.

If it were in the past, Mingxin would have been extremely excited if he could meet the Buddha and receive His praise.

But now, after hearing all this, Ming Xin pursed his lips, lowered his head slightly, and said softly: "Master has always been like this. Once he has made up his mind, he will not change it, no matter who persuades him."

"You're right, he does have this temper." The Buddha shook his head and sighed. He then looked from the relic in his palm to Mingxin, studied him for a moment, and nodded: "You and I are destined to be together."

Mingxin lowered his head and did not answer.

Buddha's fate, is this enough?
This thought flashed through Mingxin's mind, but he quickly denied it.

No, not yet. This alone is far from enough to end it.

The real test is just beginning.

Sure enough, after talking about their relationship, the Buddha pinched the Shelizi between his fingertips and gently twisted it, while casually asking: "Tell me more about your views on Buddhism. I am quite interested in what you just told Jiexing."

Mingxin was not surprised that the Buddha knew about the conversation between him and the Buddhist disciple Jiexing. This was Lingshan, the Buddha's kingdom on earth. Every blade of grass and every tree here should be under His control.

He was actually a little worried about Ren Yidao's going out last night. Although he finally came back successfully and didn't seem to attract anyone's attention, he was still a little uneasy because such a bold move was undoubtedly dancing under the nose of the Buddha.

There are only two situations in which Ren Yidao can remain safe and sound.

Either the Buddha really didn't notice it, but in Mingxin's opinion, it is basically impossible to completely hide it from the Buddha.

Either He didn't bother to care, or He didn't point it out for some reason.

Mingxin was serious, he sat upright, and his aura changed silently.

At this moment, he is no longer the Buddhist disciple who is humble in front of the Buddha, but a Taoist who talks about his own Buddhism.

"My Buddhist path is to wish that everyone in the world...can become a Buddha."

“Everyone is a Buddha.”

Mingxin had a calm expression and looked directly at the Buddha without dodging.

"All living beings have Buddha nature. Everyone has the potential for enlightenment or the possibility of becoming a Buddha. Everyone has the potential to achieve the highest enlightenment and liberation, regardless of their origins or experiences... If you have Buddha in your heart, you can become a Buddha."

"I believe that Buddha nature is not on the other side of the world, nor in the land of Buddha, but in the hearts of all living beings. We should achieve transformation and transcendence through practice and enlightenment, rather than relying on rituals or authority."

“Therefore, Lingshan should save all living beings, so that everyone can learn Buddhism and all living beings can be liberated.”

These are actually the concepts of Mahayana Buddhism, which Mingxin learned from conversations with Ren Yidao, and after realizing them, he integrated them into his own concepts.

In Ren Yidao's opinion, the original style of Lingshan in Western Desert Shenzhou is more like Hinayana Buddhism. They focus on personal practice and personal liberation, and their ultimate goal is to become a Buddha with great magical powers.

Mahayana Buddhism emphasizes more on a broader compassionate mentality and care for all living beings. It aims to save all living beings, enable them to transcend the suffering of reincarnation, and attain liberation and the state of Bodhi.

And in Ren Yidao's view, the Buddha's action of pulling everyone into Buddhism a hundred years ago seemed to have some of the Mahayana Buddhist meaning that everyone can transcend, as if Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism were mixed together.

"Interesting idea."

The Buddha had already heard Mingxin's words once, and now he smiled and said, "What else did you not say? You were reserved about the precepts before, and skipped the most crucial part. You don't need to continue pretending in front of me."

Mingxin fell silent.

He didn't expect that he was seen through...

No, or rather, he actually guessed this result, but still held on to some hope, thinking that the Buddha would not see through his heart.

Yes, the realm of Mahayana Buddhism is not the real goal of enlightening the mind.

"..."

"It's okay, go ahead." The Buddha saw through his hesitation, shook his head and chuckled, "Do you think your ideas are more unorthodox than mine?"

!!!

Mingxin widened his eyes in shock. He had never expected that the Buddha would say such a thing.

He actually admitted that he was doing something heretical! ?
Did He... No, why would He say this to me?

"..."

At this moment, Mingxin's mind was in a mess. He had no time to think about the answers to these questions. There was only one way before him - to speak out his true thoughts without reservation.

So, under the Buddha's encouraging gaze, he spoke slowly but firmly:

“If everyone were a Buddha, then… there would be no Buddha in the world.”

“If there is no Buddha in the world, there will be no Lingshan.”

"Master Buddha... I want to destroy Buddhism and make it disappear."

Destroy the Buddha.

Mingxin's real purpose is to destroy Buddhism...

Let all sentient beings learn Buddhism, make Buddhism no longer exclusive to Buddhism, and make Buddhism no longer exist.

This view comes from the headless Buddha statue's demon Buddha, but it does not come entirely from the demon Buddha. It is the conclusion Mingxin came to in his heart after observing thousands of Buddhist teachings and witnessing countless human tragedies.

There is no Buddha in the world!

If Buddhism cannot bring benefits to the world, if Buddhism can only make all living beings struggle in suffering throughout their lives, if Buddhism is only established for a few people, then... there is no need for Buddhism to exist.

Buddha
boom! ! !
The moment Mingxin opened his mouth, the entire Lingshan Mountain began to tremble violently, as if it was reacting to his outrageous words!
But in the next moment of the tremor, the Buddha raised his eyebrows slightly and looked upwards.

And just after this glance, all the changes disappeared and everything returned to normal.

!!!

This scene made Mingxin feel a little strange. He was taking a huge risk when he said this. He would not be surprised even if the Buddha exterminated him in the next second. But now it seems... the Buddha does not seem to care about his thoughts.

The Buddha did not explain this, but smiled and commented: "Not a bad idea."

good?

Before saying this, Mingxin thought of many possibilities. The Buddha might be angry, surprised, or thoughtful... But he never expected that the Buddha would actually praise him.

"Is it strange?" The Buddha admired Mingxin's loss of composure with a smile, and gently twisted the relic with his fingers.

"...Disciple, I have indeed never thought about it." Mingxin's lips moved, but he finally lowered his head and spoke quietly.

How could it unfold like this?

"It's great that you have the courage to speak out your true thoughts."

"You're fine."

The Buddha took away the relic of Master Jinglian, nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "Why do you think I would be angry?"

Mingxin blinked, not knowing what the Buddha meant.

why?
There is no need for any reason. He wanted to destroy the Buddhist orthodoxy, but the highest leader of Buddhism was not angry at all. He even asked himself why he thought He would be angry?

The Buddha obviously did not intend to let Mingxin answer this obvious question, so he continued to ask: "Then what do you think is the ultimate purpose of what I did in the Western Desert?"

"Is it so that I can transcend alone? Is it so that I can ascend to the immortal realm again?"

"Haha, you can probably guess my true identity. That's right, I'm not the Buddha in the eyes of the world, but an evil spirit that possesses his body."

"I was once a Buddha. I don't need anyone's help. I can return to the paradise."

“I don’t need to be detached because I am already detached.”

The Buddha spoke eloquently, without a trace of arrogance or nobility in his words, as if he was chatting casually with a younger generation.

When Mingxin heard the Buddha's frank words, he did not feel excited, but felt cold all over, icy cold to the bone!
There was no way He could tell such a secret to anyone, and no one could know it. But now I heard Him admit it in person. What did that mean?
"Don't I know that it's wrong to make everyone a part of Buddhism? Don't I know that the current Western Desert Buddhism has fallen into the devil's way?"

"I know."

"I knew it all along!"

The Buddha laughed and clapped his hands gently.

"So, kid, what do you think... why do I do these things?"

"That's right!"

He stared at Ming Xin, who had completely shut down, and said slowly:
“I want to destroy Buddhism.”

"Just as you thought."

"You and I are destined to be together."

The Buddha laughed joyfully and said happily, "It is really predestined, hahahaha!"

!!!

Mingxin was completely numb at this time, and he almost lost even the most basic ability to think.

Lord Buddha, do you want to destroy Buddhism?
He... wants to destroy himself?

Just when Mingxin was about to collapse, the Buddha stopped laughing and said, "Okay, come out."

! ! ?

There was silence in the space. Mingxin's body was tense uncontrollably. At this moment, no matter how strong his concentration was, it was useless.

Discovered?

Taoist Priest Ren and the others were discovered! ?

"Lord Buddha, I..."

Mingxin wanted to explain, but the Buddha waved his hand and said casually: "No need to explain, I don't know who they are, but I know the bell on your waist."

The Buddha's kind eyes fell on the small and exquisite bell, and he said softly: "This aura... I haven't seen it for many years. I thought that we parted forever, but I didn't expect that there would be a day when we would meet again."

"Although you are no longer you and I am no longer me, it is already a great fate that we can meet again."

"Daoyou, we haven't seen each other for many years, why don't you come out and see me?"

Who is the fellow Taoist He is talking about?

This question was not only on Mingxin's mind, but also on Ren Yidao inside the Shinto Bell.

He was not surprised that he and his companions were discovered, but he did not expect that someone among them actually knew the Buddha's previous life.

This……

Who is it?

Who is the reincarnation of the immortal? (End of this chapter)
