The ancestor of all monsters in Shushan

Shi Feiyang told Ye Bin: "That heart lamp is the heart of Daoist Xie. No matter whether it is good or bad, bright or dim, it will always stay with him."

Ye Bin wanted to ask about the palm leaf talisman and the seven-treasure golden pagoda, but was stopped by Master Youtan: "Thank you, Daoist friend Shi, for cleaning up the door for our Buddhist sect and getting rid of a big demon who possessed the Buddhist outsider."

The Buddhists left first. They left as a group. Master Fentuo invited everyone to the Longxiang Temple on Yitian Cliff.

After Xinru’s incident, they all prepared to be reborn in the Pure Land.

But we are still facing a problem, which is the issue of the inheritance of Buddhist Dharma lineage.

If they all leave, the true Dharma of Buddhism in this world will be cut off. There will be other Buddhist heretics who will continue to come out under the guise of Buddhism and quickly stigmatize Buddhism and Buddhist teachings. In the end, Buddhism will be completely cut off and enter the era of Dharma extinction in this world.

Master Fentuo had a disciple named Yang Jin who inherited his mantle, but Yang Jin always practiced Buddhism with his hair uncut. As a layperson, he was not considered a "monk", so in theory he was not qualified to teach the Dharma.

She also has a successor, Hua Wuxie, who is not as good as Yang Jin.

Master Youtan's successor was originally Su Yin, but Su Yin was beaten to death back then. Although he was rescued by her gathering the remaining souls, his bones and bones were damaged and he was no longer able to be of any use.

Qi Xiaer also practices with her hair uncut.

Only Ye Bin has shaved his head and become a monk, with the Buddhist name Yiyin. However, his past karma is too heavy and his spiritual power is limited, so he cannot bear the burden of Tathagata's family business.

Among the four Master Finta, Master Udumbara, Master Kongtuo and Master Wuming, one must be left behind.

But they cannot stay on their own initiative, as that would be considered as seeking favors, and someone needs to ask for help.

After Buddha Shakyamuni attained enlightenment, he was about to enter Nirvana. It was said that Brahma and others asked him to stay in the world, saying, "Don't leave. All sentient beings in this world need you. Stay and teach the Dharma to everyone, so that everyone can break through delusion and become enlightened, and not continue to be ignorant and confused." Because of this cause and effect, Shakyamuni did not enter Nirvana, but stayed in the world to preach the Dharma of enlightenment.

The Buddhist principle is that sentient beings in this world appear here only because they have affinity with Buddha. If sentient beings do not have affinity with Buddha, when Buddhism is destroyed, they will all die and leave.

These two monks and two nuns have already reached a very high level in Buddhism. They cannot force their way in. They took the initiative to stay and teach people Buddhism, and they also needed people to ask for their advice.

So the four men went to four cities respectively, begging for alms, to see if there was anyone who wanted to ask for the Dharma.

The emperors of the Zhu family have always had a connection with Taoism, which can be traced back to Zhu Yuanzhang and even Emperor Yongle, and reached its peak during the Jiajing period.

The current little emperor is the reincarnation of the Taoist Wing Geng Kun. He has admired Shi Feiyang the most since he was a child. The last time Chi You went south, the great battle involving the whole country and the heaven and earth made the little emperor's blood boil.

Especially since Shi Feiyang also gifted him a Black Dragon Immortal Sword, the little emperor also gathered a number of cultivators. When they compared their flying swords with the Black Dragon Immortal Sword, they all became like scrap metal. He felt even more grateful.

He then issued another decree that no other idols were allowed throughout the country, no matter if they were the Three Pure Ones of Taoism, the Buddha and Bodhisattva of Buddhism, or other gods. All temples had to be either demolished or converted into Yuanyang Palace.

Many ministers were terrified and hurriedly tried to persuade the emperor again and again. They also invited the Taoist priests from the Qingcheng and Xueshan sects who were left in the court to come out and persuade the emperor.

After several rounds of tug-of-war, the little emperor finally made limited concessions.

It was strictly enforced within the Hebei area that no other temples dedicated to other gods were allowed, no matter if they were Buddhist temples or Taoist temples. All of them were converted into Yuanyang Palace. Apart from Shi Feiyang, the palace could only have statues of Emperor Wanli and Shi Feiyang himself, and at most the two generals, the Red Snake and the Black Turtle, as well as Shi Feiyang's disciples and subordinates.

Within this range, there can be temples of other sects, but the main deity must be Yuanyang Zhenren!
In order to continue to make a living, palaces and temples in various places had to rebuild and chose the largest courtyard to worship Shi Feiyang.

In the Shaolin Temple in Songshan, Master Fangzheng also had to move out the Three Buddhas of the Past, Present and Future, namely Sakyamuni Buddha, Amitabha Buddha, and Medicine King Buddha, as well as the Eighteen Arhats and Guanyin Bodhisattva. He placed Emperor Yuanyang and his disciples in the main hall, and Emperor Wanli and other emperors in the side halls.

In Wudang Mountain, Hunan, Ling Lingzi also moved the Great Emperor Zhenwu to another courtyard and converted the best courtyard into Yuanyang Palace to worship Yuanyang Zhenren...

Originally, in this world, everyone has the magical power to move mountains and seas, and can obey or not obey the imperial edicts of the mortal emperors.

But the emperor also practiced Taoism, and specially built a fine mountain and sea garden. He summoned a large number of monks, asked them to bring out their own skills, and created a scripture library for everyone to refer to.

There are many civil and military officials in the court who practice sword skills and cultivate qi, and with the full support of the Qingcheng and Snow Mountain sects, they already have considerable strength.

More importantly, the emperor wanted to worship Shi Feiyang. This might be Shi Feiyang's own idea...

It doesn't matter if you offend the emperor, but if you offend Shi Feiyang, you're seeking death.

Any sword immortal with a little bit of strength knows that Shi Feiyang is now the leader of all immortals. All the famous earth immortals and scattered immortals in the world have come to the Heavenly Divine Mountain to worship him. If they just raise a finger, their sect will be gone, and not only the people will be gone, but also the mountain and the temple... Even the main hall of the Jingbo Temple on Shangfang Mountain in Suzhou, where the nameless Zen master is, now enshrines Shi Feiyang.

The belief in Yuanyang was very popular, and the common people all believed in the national teacher, and they all said that his works were effective. No matter if it was for their son's admission to school, or for finding lost property, or for a family member being possessed by evil spirits, or for encountering a monster in the mountains, they would recite the name of Yuanyang Zhenren and call for help three times, and the effect would be immediate. If it did not work, it meant that they had done some bad things in the past and Yuanyang Zhenren would not bless them, and they had to go to Yuanyang Palace to sincerely repent.

Actually, this is not all false. The name of Yuanyang Zhenren is really effective among demons and evil spirits. Many demons also believe in Yuanyang Zhenren and recognize him as the ancestor of all demons. The Divine Mountain outside the Sky is the paradise for demons. The big demons take the lead, and the small demons are influenced by what they see and hear, and pass on the knowledge by word of mouth. Naturally, they also know some great legends of Yuanyang Zhenren.

There are also some demons and evil ghosts in a similar situation. When the Giant Wood God arrived at Mount Tai and began to use the power of the Nine Spirits Yuansheng to collect all the spirits in the world to Mount Tai, there were no more ghosts and evil things in the world. If there were any, they were pretending to be people, or they were suspicious and had dark ghosts. Naturally, reciting a few words of Yuanyang Zhenren's Taoist name was very "effective".

Due to all these reasons, Yuanyang Palace is very popular all over the world, especially in Hebei Province. In the capital city, everyone even worships Yuanyang.

A large number of Yuanyang's peripheral products also appeared, and the young man in blue was his image. Whether it was a portrait or a statue, they could only be taken home and worshipped in the shrine.

There is also a kind of small black dragon statue, some of which are fangs and claws, some are cute and adorable, some are carved out of black iron and black jade, and are said to be the true form of Yuanyang Zhenren, the Chaos Black Dragon, the Dragon God of Creation. It can be carried with you. If you have this thing, you will not suffer from sudden disasters, evil spirits will stay away, good luck will continue, wealth will come from all directions, and you will live a long life...

Master Fentuo actually already had a general idea of ​​the situation in the capital, but she had to come. Among the Four Great Vows of Buddhism, there is the saying of "repaying the fourfold kindness": kindness to parents, kindness to teachers, kindness to the country, and kindness to all living beings.

Parents are the people who gave birth to and raised us, and they are the closest to us.

The teacher’s kindness is like that of Buddha or Bodhisattva, who teaches us to break through ignorance and attain enlightenment, and to become a Buddha.

The grace of the country ranks third, and the capital is the most important place for a country. What is believed here is of great importance.

She went into the city to beg for alms and was soon surrounded by a group of people: "Where are you from, old nun? We haven't seen bald monks or nuns in Hebei for many years."

Master Funta said, "I come from where I came from."

The other party sneered: "You guys love to use these useless catchphrases, the next sentence is to go somewhere."

Another person asked: "What is the old nun doing in the capital? Is it to preach?"

Master Fentuo sighed and said, "I am a poor nun here to beg for alms."

The other party sneered again: "What do you mean by begging? Isn't it just begging for food? Just like those beggars. In recent years, even beggars have not been seen in Hebei Province, but today I see an old nun like you."

"I am begging for alms, not begging for food."

"Begging is begging! Begging is begging! What's the difference?" The man pointed at the Zuixian Restaurant in the distance, "You said you came here to beg for food, so I asked the chef there to make you a good meal."

Master Funta emphasized: "I only beg for alms, not for food."

The man smiled and waved his hand: "There is nothing to beg for you here, only food. If you want it, take it. If not, leave!"

When Master Fentuo heard him say "no chance", he knew that this time of "begging for alms" was over. He sighed, waved his sleeves, and a golden light rose from under his feet and he flew away.

"This old nun has some skills!" The people watching the fun looked up at the sky and exclaimed.

However, it was very common to see sword immortals flying in the capital city, so it was not too surprising. They could not tell the difference between the Buddhist escape method and the sword immortals flying their swords, so they discussed for a while and then dispersed.

Master Fenduo was unable to convert sentient beings, and the same was true for Master Kongtuo and Master Wuming.

Zen Master Kongtuo practiced in the mountains all year round and had long cut off all ties with the outside world. He was just waiting for the ascension.

Although the nameless Zen master was in a temple on earth, he didn't even have a name and completely hid himself. Although he got a bowl of rice, he also spoke a few words of Buddhism to the other party, but the other party had no interest in Buddhism at all. He waved his hand to tell him to eat quickly and left after eating, completely treating him as a beggar begging for food.

Only Master Udumbara had the broadest connection with the world. He traveled to a small village in the south and met an old lady who was kind and generous. He specially prepared a new vegetarian meal for her.

It happened that because Princess Shishen was practicing "The Demon-Slaying Treasure Record", the Heavenly Demon-Slaying Immortal Sword in her hand had become more and more magical over the years, which was very resistant to her practice of Buddhism. The baptism of Buddha's light was extremely painful for the sword spirit, so it sneaked out when Princess Shishen was not paying attention.

Princess Ishigami came out to look for the sword. She searched from the sky to the ground and happened to see Master Utan. She immediately sensed his intention.

She calculated with her fingers and found out that the old lady had a son who worked in the fields, so she ended up at the edge of the field. (End of this chapter)
