The reincarnation of the heavens begins with the path to immortality

Subtle influence!

This is the scariest thing! Silently letting a person gradually lose himself and become another person, just thinking about it makes people feel cold!
Although it seems that people are given the right to choose and it does not seem to be forced, but if there is no unshakable self, who can remain unaffected?

Take Huahua for example. He has been chanting Buddhist scriptures since he was a child and practicing Buddhist techniques. He seems to be a bit unorthodox, drinking a lot of alcohol, eating a lot of meat, and not following the Buddhist rules and regulations, but is he really not influenced by Buddhism at all? This is impossible!
If a person chants Buddha's name and practices Buddhist scriptures every day, no matter how heartless he is, he will inevitably be affected!
So, after being influenced, can Huahua be like Sakyamuni, stick to herself, not be tempted or bewitched, and just be herself?

Ye Fan was not optimistic about this. After all, Sakyamuni was Sakyamuni after all. He was an existence that could establish a new school of Buddhism and even compete with the great Buddha Amitabha. How could Hua Hua compare with his accomplishments in mind and character?
Huahua's practice now is still mainly based on Buddhist skills, and he also practices various other magical powers. He has also begun to study and comprehend the power of faith, but after all, he has never walked out of his own path. He is far inferior to Sakyamuni!

Therefore, facing the influence of the Amitabha Buddha Emperor from the spiritual perspective, Shakyamuni was able to resist and resolutely cut off the connection with great willpower, preferring to stagnate in cultivation rather than choose to merge and immediately become an emperor. Can Huahua really do it? I'm afraid it's difficult!
Thinking of this, Ye Fan couldn't help but frowned, fell into thought, and remained silent for a long time.

Seeing this, Shakyamuni naturally understood what Ye Fan was worried about, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "The Great Emperor Amitabha did not force it, but it was precisely because he did not force it that people were moved and were willing to accept his fusion sincerely. If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would have chosen to merge, and the Great Emperor Amitabha would have returned from Nirvana because of this!"

"But I am different! Although I am also moved by his non-compulsiveness, what is more important is my own path of cultivation. I have already realized my own Buddhist teachings. If I choose to merge and become the Great Emperor Amitabha, wouldn't that mean I have chosen to give up my own Buddhist teachings? This is absolutely impossible!"

"So, no matter how much the Buddha Amitabha moves my heart, I am not willing to lose myself and give up my own Buddhist path. If you want me to give up my own Buddhist path, I will die!"

Thinking so in his heart, Shakyamuni's expression became more determined. He never had the slightest regret for his original choice. He insisted on being himself and sticking to his own Buddhist path. This was the biggest reason why he was able to resist the infiltration and influence of the great Buddha Amitabha!
Then, his gaze turned to Ye Fan again, and he couldn't help but instantly think of the playboy from Heaven. Now, that playboy is about to reach the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor, and he will probably face the same choice as him. What will that playboy choose then?
It seems that that Huahua Buddhist disciple has not yet walked out of his own path and created his own Buddhism. He practices the Buddhism of Sakyamuni and the Buddhism of Amitabha Buddha. It can be said that he has integrated the two schools and practiced two Buddhist teachings, but he has never walked out of his own path!
This is undoubtedly very dangerous for that playboy, because without the Buddhist path he created himself, he will not have his own persistence. Without his own persistence, he will easily be moved by the great Buddha Amitabha, unable to truly persist in himself, and then choose to accept integration and become the great Buddha Amitabha!
Thinking of this, Sakyamuni couldn't help but shook his head and sighed softly!

With his sigh, Ye Fan instantly came back to his senses. He raised his head and looked at Sakyamuni opposite him. After a moment of silence, he said, "Fellow Daoist Sakya, I think you now understand why I am here today. It is for my disciple Huahua. I am afraid that the situation he will face in the future will be the same as that of fellow Daoist Sakya. I wonder if you have any advice for me?"

Upon hearing this, Shakyamuni was silent for a moment, and did not answer. Instead, he asked, "Donor Ye, don't you want your disciple to become the great Amitabha Buddha?"

Ye Fan nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course! My disciple Huahua is Huahua, no one can take over his body, possess him, or replace him, not even the great Buddha Amitabha!"

Shakyamuni did not comment, and asked with a smile: "But what if your disciple chooses to merge and accept the Great Emperor Amitabha? He is both Huahua and the Great Emperor Amitabha. What should Mr. Ye do then?" When asked this question, Ye Fan frowned and remained silent.

Sakyamuni then continued, "This kind of fusion may be like the two Taoist friends Shennong and Huangdi. They fused the reincarnation seal in their bodies, so they became both Emperor Hengyu and Emperor Xukong, as well as Shennong and Huangdi!"

"Just like fellow Taoist Laozi today, he has also integrated the reincarnation seal in his body. Now he is both Laozi and the Moral Lord of the Mythological Age!"

"If your disciple Huahua also chooses to merge with the Great Emperor Amitabha, he will be both the Great Emperor Amitabha and your disciple Huahua, Mr. Ye. Can you accept this?"

Ye Fan's expression suddenly became extremely complicated. Thinking of the current Shennong and Huangdi, and then thinking of Huahua, and Duan De who will merge the nine reincarnation seals into one in the future, they have become other people, and yet they are still himself. Can he accept this?
After a long silence, Ye Fan suddenly took a breath, his eyes flashing, and said in a deep voice: "If Huahua really chooses to merge with the Amitabha Emperor and become the Amitabha Emperor, I can accept it, because that is his choice, and I respect his choice!"

"But before anything happens, I hope to do everything I can to prevent him from becoming someone else. He is himself, purely himself!"

After saying this, he stared at Sakyamuni and said, "So, fellow Sakya, please teach me how to get rid of that great Buddha Amitabha and achieve self-realization?"

Shakyamuni looked at Ye Fan, and couldn't help but sighed: "Mr. Ye's good intentions are also touching! So I am willing to fulfill Mr. Ye's painstaking efforts!"

"In fact, if you want to get rid of the great Buddha Amitabha, it is both difficult and easy. It is just that you have to be persistent. You have to be persistent in yourself and in your own Buddhist path. Only in this way can you not be moved by others!"

Then, Shakyamuni slowly recounted how, when he was faced with the choice, he insisted on being himself, on his own Buddhist path, and resolutely cut off ties with the great Buddha Amitabha!

As long as you can stick to yourself and stick to your own Buddhist path, you can remain as calm and steady as a mountain!
