When I become a demon king, I want to change my department to the Taoist sect.

Chapter 685 Calculation
Outside the Imperial City of Dachu.

Tang Yuan stood in the sky, his blue robe swaying in the wind, looking like a banished immortal. With such grace, even the King of Chu sighed sadly: "Senior, it would have been nice if he had come earlier."

Xu Zhi glanced at him and groaned: "Master is busy with everything, how can he care about all the sufferings in this immortal world? If you weren't lucky and worried about the lives of the two withered bones in your family's grave, you would have been killed earlier." If you tell my master about the crisis, how can it cause today's disaster?"

"I don't believe it. You are the leader of Yangshen Kingdom, but you can't even get a little news out."

Hearing Xu Zhi's scolding, Chu Qinghe's eyes showed confusion. After a while, he finally said: "If King Gu had been there sooner, would the Taoist sect really save me, Da Chu?"

He seemed to be answering Xu Zhi, but also seemed to be mumbling to himself.

Although Xu Zhi didn't know if Tang Yuan would come, after all, it was the consensus reached by the Taoist sect that Huazhou would be given to the Demon Sect.

But this does not prevent her from advocating Tang Yuan.

I saw her vowing to say: "Of course, Taoism emphasizes healing by doing nothing. If you don't even have the intention to save yourself, Master will naturally not take the initiative to save you, but if you have the intention to survive, my Master will not be grudges." I will give you a piece of blue sky."

When Chu Qinghe heard this, his expression became even more miserable. He looked at the hundreds of millions of people's souls still gathered outside the city and said with regret: "It's all my fault. I've hurt you all. They're all mine." wrong……"

Even though the blood rain in the sky has gradually faded away, the soul that has been taken out is still wandering in the outside world, unable to return.

Looking at it like that, within a moment or three, he will still fall into the Nine Netherworld.

Tang Yuan passed by countless souls, looked at the remnant soul of the gray-robed old monk in mid-air, and asked: "The blood sacrifice has failed, what is the master's next plan?"

Even after suffering a fatal blow from the four great supernatural powers, the gray-robed old monk still has his remaining soul alive. He can even regenerate just by putting his soul into the golden body inherited from Buddhism.

In the system of Buddhist practice for many generations, the immortal relics and the immortal golden body are extremely important links.

For example, Arhats and other Buddhist masters above, even if they are not troubled by longevity, they will still take the initiative to sit in the body. After sitting in the body, their lifelong cultivation will be condensed into relics, and the physical body will be transformed into a golden body.

The reason why you are able to sit down and become a Buddha, according to Buddhism... is that you do not practice enough in this life, and you can only become a Buddha in the next life.

If we turn to the Taoist sect and look at it, it turns out that there is a problem with the path of Taoism and fruition, and we can only reincarnate and rebuild it.

Like the Taoist cultivation method, it emphasizes being down-to-earth and striving for perfection from the beginning of foundation building.

Innate Dao foundation, first-grade golden elixir, pure Yang divine soul... If you go step by step like this, although the chance of achieving Yuan Shen is very slim, once you achieve Yuan Shen, there is a high probability of continuing on, and even achieving your own Dao fruit. the road.

The Buddhist practice method is different from this. Although Buddhism also attaches great importance to basic practice and polishing the body, it is far less important than Taoism.

In Buddhist practice, great aspirations, great vows, and hard work are the foundation. If you make consistent great aspirations and vows, your cultivation will advance rapidly. It is even possible to receive gifts from heaven and earth in a short period of time and reach the level of Arhat, which is the Yuan Dynasty. The realm of God.

However, great ambitions are hard to come by, at least within one lifetime.

Great aspirations can be achieved, but great aspirations can also be failed. Unfulfilled aspirations will become a shackle that hinders a monk's cultivation.

If you think about it now, with this decaying body, you will only be further and further away from the fulfillment of your great aspirations, which is what Buddhism calls no destiny in this life.

At this time, he has to reincarnate and use a new body without any ties to fulfill his great ambitions again.

As for the fruits of practice in previous lives, they will not be wasted and will be turned into golden relics. As long as the body in this life reaches a certain level, it can be integrated to enhance cultivation and even be used as a tool to break through the realm.

There was once a Buddhist monk who reincarnated nine times, each time ending up in the state of one decline of spirit. But on the tenth time, he directly broke through the three declines of essence, energy and spirit, and became a golden Arhat, which is the Taoist disciple. The realm of earthly immortals.

Before the separation between heaven and man, Buddhism practiced in this way. Breaking through the realm with great aspirations was almost overwhelming.

Even if you don't have enough qualifications, you can achieve something as long as you have Buddha in your heart.

Then through continuous reincarnations, while inheriting the golden body relics of the previous life, he also inherited the great aspirations and oaths of the previous life. After repeated training for dozens of times, the Buddhist masters who have achieved success are even stronger than those extremely talented Taoists who have achieved first-class elixirs.

Of course, this practice model disappeared after heaven and man were separated and Buddhism could no longer control reincarnation.

Today's Buddhist disciples need to be like Taoist disciples, who work tirelessly to polish their foundations and walk steadily step by step. Even the most catalyzing great aspirations and vows cannot be made randomly, lest there is no hope of fulfilling this ambition in this life, and at the same time Lost the chance of reincarnation.

Practicing in this way is naturally not as good as setting great aspirations and receiving gifts from heaven and earth quickly and easily.

This is also the reason why Buddhism is so concerned about reincarnation. After losing the small reincarnation controlled by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Buddhism has almost lost an entire shortcut to quickly achieve spirituality.

It can be called the biggest weakening, how can Buddhism endure it.

After losing reincarnation, just like today's gray-robed old monk, only the remaining soul is left. If he does not want to enter reincarnation and embark on such a hopeless life, he can only live in the golden body left by other primordial gods Arhat.

However, because the body and soul are not very compatible, even if he can still exert the strength of the soul level, it is difficult to improve his cultivation level, and he can only become a heretic protector.

For the Yuanshen Arhat who usually has a great future, this is naturally unacceptable.

However, the gray-robed old monk seemed to face his failure calmly, and said with a wry smile: "The poor monk will not occupy the body of others, but will only throw himself into reincarnation. This body is burdened with endless sins. He should go to reincarnation to atone for his sins, until he truly The spirit is exhausted.”

Buddhism believes that a person's true soul imprint is limited. After experiencing too many reincarnations, it will be completely wiped out. From then on, he will be a brand new person.

Hearing the excuse of the old monk in gray robe, Tang Yuan looked calm and said coldly: "Hundreds of millions of people in Huazhou died because of you. How can you alone redeem countless sins, even if you have everything in the pure land?" If the disciples recite sutras day and night, can these countless people survive?"

"All sins are mine alone!"

The gray-robed old monk sighed and stopped talking.

"With your face, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to enter reincarnation, and you will have to suffer torture in the eighteenth level of hell." Tang Yuan said in a gloomy tone, dissatisfied.

But then, he changed his tone and said, "But...fortunately it is me who is here today. I have a method that can save hundreds of millions of people in Huazhou, and I can also save you by the way. Are you willing to listen to it?" ?”

The old monk in gray robe still retained a trace of his compassionate heart as a monk. When he heard that the people in Huazhou could still be saved, he quickly asked: "If Tang Donor has a way to save these hundreds of millions of innocent people, no matter what you ask for, the old monk will do it." Agreed, I will let you drive me without saying a word."

The gray-robed old monk is not a villain. On the contrary, even in the Pure Land, he is known for his bodhisattva-like heart. He is not hurt by flowers, grass, or ants. The reason why he made such a decision this time is because he really believes that if reincarnation happens again, Even if we sacrifice hundreds of millions of people, it is still worth it.

For this reason...he is willing to bear the burden of sin for the sake of a better future for all living beings.

At this moment, the hope of reincarnation has failed, and the gray-robed old monk naturally begins to feel worthless for this person who died in vain. There is no light, only sin, how can he accept this.

"Are you sure you can accept any price?" Tang Yuan had a half-smile on his face.

The old monk in gray robe did not hesitate and nodded firmly.

"That's good." Tang Yuan said with a smile, "Although the people of Huazhou have lost their souls and become sacrifices to Jiuyou, after being marked with the mark of Jiuyou, they can only fall into Jiuyou, but the Great Dao is fifty, Tianyan is forty-nine , there is always a glimmer of hope in the world.”

"At this moment, Jiuyou's consciousness has not yet awakened. He only has instinct. As long as the same number of human souls are substituted as sacrifices, he can hide the truth and save all people."

"Of course...these souls must come from the earthly immortal world. You also know that there is a slight difference in the soul essence of the beings in the world and the people in the world."

Hearing Tang Yuan's words, the old monk in gray robe seemed to have thought of something, and then he said with a look of fear: "How could you...?"

Tang Yuan smiled and nodded and said: "I know that the lotus pond of your pure land has nourished the souls of countless believers. If not, I will replace the people of Huazhou with them."

"what do you think!?"
