I stole divine power in Daxia

Chapter 529: Open the door to convenience
On a steam airship hundreds of miles away, many students from the Workers' College in Shantong Prefecture were stunned.

First, there were countless Buddhas lying across the mountains and plains, and then the head of the Gongshu family and the giant of the Mohist school entered the game, evolving the three-layer sky to block the Buddha's glazed light and the ancestral qi of the real people's clouds in the sky.

Then the Buddha's six-foot-tall golden body changed. He raised his arms, lifted up the sky, and wanted to enter the galaxy to compete with the Taoist transformed from the primordial heaven and earth. Then the Xuanpin Gate that penetrated the sky and the earth turned into a female Taoist with her feet on three thousand green lotuses. Under the green lotuses was a yin-yang Tai Chi fish pond where black and white communicated with each other. The golden paint on the Buddha's arm was pressed down so hard that it fell off. The layer of sky called Dongxiaotian also moved downward from the position close to the galaxy, and finally fell directly to the bottom. It was only with the infinite brilliance of the six-foot-tall golden body that it was able to hold on.

The scene was really like the sage preaching in novels and storybooks. One after another, the great masters displayed their Taoism and created the heaven and earth. Infinite light burst out from the sky above Taiyi Temple, and it was impossible to distinguish between day and night. The whole sky was covered with the Buddha's glazed light, the Taoist's colorful rays of light, steam-filled fire, and the light of the stars. The sound of the Tao filled the mountains and plains, drowning out the thunder in the sky and the roar of wild beasts. The big cauldron struck like a bell, and the truth flowed in it. One after another, the ghosts and immortals entered into it. Under the training of thunder, they turned into babies and fell into Xuanhuangtian's lotus ovary, making Xuanhuangtian's three thousand green lotuses bloom one by one.

The situation at Taiyi Temple was temporarily stabilized. The pilot of the steam airship that Li Jianhu was riding, Gongshujia, walked in with a happy look on his face and said, "I have just contacted the head of the family. The head of the family said that the situation has temporarily stabilized and we can enter Tianyu to listen to the lecture. At this time, the thirty-three heavens are gathered together. In Tianyu, all kinds of principles are directly manifested. One day of practice is almost equivalent to one year of practice in the outside world. Of course, the dangers should not be underestimated. There will be fights later. Even he dare not say that he will protect everyone. Let you decide for yourself whether to go or not. If you don't want to go, I will leave you here and you can go to the foot of the mountain to listen to the teachings."

Li Jianhu looked solemn, and turned to look at the many students. These students were naturally fearless and said, "Coach Li, we are here now, how can we not go up and listen to the lecture?"

"Yes, Professor Li, you said that Marquis Zhou's sermon today was like that of a saint. If we miss it, we will regret it for the rest of our lives."

Li Jianhu put down his hands and hid them in his sleeves. Inside the sleeves was a secluded space with a unique cave. There was a small snow-white beast that guided the yin and yang, gathered the merits of humanity, and established the kingdom of God. It was Xiaobai, the innate god originally born in Taihang Mountains.

With Xiaobai's guidance that day, Zhou Tieyi found the real core fragment of Taihang Divine Court. Afterwards, he gave the little beast a third-grade Shinto talisman as a thank you.

This Xiaobai is a natural god born in Taihang Mountain. His origin is even more noble than that of the mountain giant ape. Now that he has obtained the third-grade divine talisman, he is even more powerful. He does not establish a kingdom of God by himself, but still follows Li Jianhu. With a special method, he relies on the human luck gathered by Li Jianhu to slowly establish the prototype of his own kingdom of God. Therefore, he is now hiding in Li Jianhu's sleeve.

Feeling Li Jianhu's hesitation, Xiaobai wanted to go and listen to the sermon very strongly, so he stretched out his big head and touched Li Jianhu's palm, indicating that he would help if anything happened.

Li Jianhu made up his mind and said, "Okay, but we have to make three rules. Leave before they start a fight next time. Don't be greedy for preaching and put yourself in danger."

Hearing Li Jianhu's agreement, many students naturally smiled happily, but the brave martial arts students still laughed, "Teacher Li is obviously only a few years older than us, why is he talking so old-fashioned? Just now on the airship he told us, 'A scholar, if not motivated by nature, does not know the purpose of life'!"

"Not motivated by nature, and not knowing why in life" was the point of view put forward by Zhou Tieyi when the Mo Shi case was closed some time ago. Through the words of the Minister of Justice, he answered the question of why Si Lu Qing Konggui chose to cause trouble for himself even though he could obviously compromise.

That is, human beings are emotional animals. If we completely abandon emotional emotions such as courage, morality, and the pursuit of knowledge, and only weigh things based on interests, then what is the meaning of human life?

After the Moshi case was finalized, this sentence naturally spread from the Silu Mansion to the whole world, and was regarded as a guiding principle by the new generation of young people who wanted to be "scholars".

Li Jianhu stepped forward and scolded the martial artist who was speaking, knocking him. "There is also a last sentence. Without true knowledge, you will not understand what the world is all about! They are fighting in the clouds, and we have gained a lot by listening to a few classes. We can obviously retreat unscathed, but we are greedy for a momentary truth. You have only got the nature, but have not transformed it into true knowledge."

"Coach Li said it well."

Among the group of students, the only female students spoke up in support. There were more girls than boys in the workers' school. These female students with excellent grades were the treasures of the boys in the school, and their words were more useful than those of the teachers.

Li Jianhu also laughed and shook his head, then turned to the Gongshujia mechanical engineer who was driving the airship and said, "Sorry for the trouble."

This Gongshujia mechanical officer was going to attend the lecture anyway, so naturally there was not much trouble. The battle in the sky above Taiyi Temple in the distance came to a temporary end, and thirty steam airships continued to sail towards Taiyi Temple.

First, we entered the outer thunderstorm area, where there were still thunderclouds. The heavy spring rain fell on the ground to nourish the earth, but it was the biggest obstacle for aircraft in the air.

Fortunately, the Mohist and Gongshu families had mobilized nearly one-third of the third-grade cultivators to come and listen to the teachings this time. The inkstone furnaces were activated on each steam airship, and a mechanical force connected them to each other, strengthening the structural stability of the steam airship itself. They passed through the thunderstorm area, and the sky was suddenly filled with light.

From a distance, you can see a huge Buddha lying on his side, with light covering an area of ​​hundreds of miles. Now, looking up close, it really looks like an undulating mountain range, so magnificent and majestic that it is unlike any ordinary thing.

What's more, at this time, the Buddha's emptiness and the wind and thunder rules of the sky were intertwined. The wind and thunder fell into the Buddha's light and were transformed into nothingness bit by bit, from tangible to intangible. In this process, the tangible thunder was gradually transformed into dragon seals that were either connected or incomplete, wandering in this layer of the sky. The middle-grade practitioners who entered this sky first saw the dragon seals gradually disappearing in the Buddha's light. Some watched and outlined them from a distance, trying to imitate one or two of the magical principles and keep them in their minds.

Some middle-level practitioners relied on the rare treasures in their hands and performed levitation techniques. They were like colorful butterflies catching fireflies in the Buddha's light, trying to grab one dragon seal after another and imprint them on the rare treasures.

This is already a great opportunity, but for those who come here to truly seek the truth, they disdain it, because these Thunder Dragon Seals that melt in the Buddha's light dissipate very quickly themselves, and most of them are incomplete, with only one or two, or even half a piece. It is certainly an opportunity on a normal day, but compared to the preaching of the saints in the sky, it is still not worth mentioning.

The steam airship formed by Mohist and Gongshujia naturally ignored it and continued to rise upwards.

The two sides ceased fighting. Such a large fleet of steam airships accompanied by thousands of middle-level practitioners coming from all directions naturally attracted the attention of both sides.

The golden statue of Shengshan Bodhisattva lying on its side in the sea of ​​clouds lowered its hand to the sky. He wanted to stop these people from going up to listen to the lecture, but changed his mind and gave up. Because when he lowered his hand to the sky, he could hear faint and disdainful laughter coming from his ears, including the Lord of Daming Palace, Gongshu Ting, and Xu Wugui.

Since it is a preaching, then it is natural to compete with each other on the level of each school. You blocked Zhou Tieyi's way, that was a fight among the upper classes, everyone still respected you as Shengshan and had some Taoist blood, but you stopped the people below from going to listen to the lecture, that was not only bullying the weak, but also blocking the way of the world.

In this way, the merits that are already dissipating will be quickly lost and may not last for more than a few days.

What's more, even if he is shameless, he is not the one who has the upper hand. The group of people who are suppressing him have not tried to stop him. They are just waiting for him to get confused and make a stupid move. By then, wouldn't it be further proof that the Nanda Temple cannot tolerate other people's methods? Not only will they close the door to preach Zen, but they will also close the door for people all over the world to listen to the teachings.

If these words were to spread, he would not only destroy his own merits, but also the merits of the monastery that had been cultivated for thousands of years.

After thinking it through, Shengshan Bodhisattva put down his hands and made the preaching seal. The huge Buddha chanted continuously, explaining the Twelve Links of Dependent Origination and the path of sentient beings.

The Zen sound rang out, and various strange visions evolved in the misty Buddha light, outlining a huge wheel of Buddhist principles, rising from ignorance, ending with old age and death, and repeating over and over again. The cause and condition are endless, and all living beings are also circulating over and over again in this endless cause and condition.

Only those who have true knowledge and enlightenment can see through the Twelve Links of Dependent Origination that on the huge wheel of Buddhist principles, there are Bodhi trees growing, Udumbara flowers blooming, and the Buddha leaning against the tree holding the flowers, making the Dharma seal, and preaching the unique Dharma.

Now that the door of convenience has been opened wide today, Shengshan will also compete with me in his methods.

The Dharma of this Nananda Temple is truly mysterious. There is a Bodhisattva holding a Mani Pearl to preach on behalf of the Buddha, which is the supreme Dharma. Naturally, many people who come to listen to the Dharma are attracted by this supreme wonderful appearance, and fall on the diagram of the twelve causes and conditions, listening to the Zen quietly. Once they sit down, the supreme mysterious Dharma enters their ears, and they just want to listen for a while longer and forget to get up.

Bodhisattva Shengshan suddenly realized that as he was preaching here, with more and more people listening to his lectures on his own cause and effect diagram, his own dissipated merits actually had a tendency to gather again.

If I could really stop people all over the world from listening to the Dharma, wouldn't I also be able to block his path?
Bodhisattva Shengshan carefully looked up at the sky with a thief's eyes, fearing that Zhou Tieyi would notice this and suddenly attack him. However, he only heard a burst of sneers in his ears, "This Bodhisattva preached on behalf of the Buddha and showed a thief's eyes. You, Shengshan, must also record this in the Buddhist scriptures in the future!"

These words made Bodhisattva Shengshan's mind confused for a while, but he was a Bodhisattva after all, with a high level of Taoism, and he quickly regained his psychological balance. You, Zhou Tieyi, look down on my Taoism and want to suppress my Buddhism, but as long as I speak well and everyone in the world listens to my Taoism, then naturally you will have nothing to do!

So he preached the Dharma more seriously. At this time, all the principles were gathered together. Not only Zhou Tieyi, but Shengshan also felt that he had understood all the Buddhist teachings that he did not understand before. He was no longer afraid of being blamed by the chief lecturer, and he directly preached the most mysterious Buddhist methods.

But even though some of them were attracted by Shengshan, Zhou Tieyi's preaching in the sky still did not stop. The grand sound of the Tao continued to fall from the sky, allowing people to clearly see that above the huge reclining Buddha, beyond the layers of sky, there was a huge Taoist who was as huge as the galaxy and the universe, who could call the wind and rain, and his brilliance was comparable to the sun and the moon.

Those who admire the great Dao naturally feel that the ethereal Buddhist music is noisy, like a monk knocking on a wooden fish. Since there are higher truths, why listen to a Bodhisattva like you preach at the foot of the mountain? The fourth-grade Taoists who came one by one listened for a while, especially when they saw that the thirty steam airships rose without hindrance, they followed the rise of the steam airships into the second heaven.

This is the fallen Dongxiaotianli Mountain Realm. The Taoist priest Lishan was suppressed by Miaoyu and he was already having difficulty breathing. After seeing the situation clearly, although he tried his best to preach the secret methods that were not usually passed down in Xuandu Mountain, everyone had just seen that he was suppressed by Miaoyu. And since they were all Taoists, why didn't everyone go up to listen, but instead listened to the loser's preaching?

As a result, the people retained in this layer of the sky were not even as good as the Bodhisattva Shengshan below, and the Taoist Lishan became so anxious that he became furious and his sermons became more and more confused.

"Hey, Brother Dao, I'm here to help you."

The Taoist Confucian Li Kegong really couldn't bear to watch it anymore, and a stream of ancestral qi was half light and pure white, and half heavy and blazing white, integrating Taoist celestial phenomena and Confucianism's great righteousness, and fell into the sky of the Taoist Lishan. The great righteousness acted like a sword, cutting off the Taoist Lishan's chaotic thoughts, helping the Taoist Lishan to stabilize the principles of this layer of the sky, and allowing the voice of preaching to gradually calm down, with the changes of the Confucian great righteousness added to it.

There are many people practicing Confucianism and Taoism in the world. At this time, two second-rank masters working together to preach can naturally attract some people to stay.

But more people still go to the next level.

When they arrived at the Xuanhuangtian Taiji realm, Miaoyu walked barefoot on the lotus. Taoist Yin spirit fetuses fell from the sky and three thousand green lotuses kept blooming around them. She also preached the mysterious method, starting with the practice of ghost immortals in Taiyi Temple, and incorporating Zhou Tieyi's five immortal ways and her own understanding of Xuanpin. The only difference was that she did not talk about all living beings in the world like Zhou Tieyi, but focused on the method of ghost immortal transformation, at most mixed with a little human immortal transformation.

At this level, Li Jianhu said to the students around him who were already showing some yearning, especially the female students, "This Taoist Miaoyu is the Taoist companion of Zhou Hou, and has also attained the supreme Taoism. If you are willing to listen to his teachings here, you will definitely gain a lot. You can get off the boat and listen to the lecture."

A male student, who was mostly arrogant, muttered, "Teacher Li, why don't you just send us to Zhou Hou to listen to the lecture?"

Li Jianhu was so angry that he laughed, and even knocked the boy's head, "I may not understand what is being said, what are you going to listen to, are you going to listen to the heavenly book? Although this Taoist Miaoyu only talked about the opening of the ghost fairy method, it is the foundation of the five fairy methods. I'm so grateful that you can understand it, so where else can I take you to listen? If you don't want to listen, get out of here!"

This time he acted like a real dean of studies. In fact, it was not only because the principles here were enough for the students to hear, but also because he had just watched a fight, and because of his talent, he understood more than others. He dared to say that if a fight broke out later, the safety of this layer of heaven would be even safer than that around Zhou Tieyi. It was also close to the ground, so if something went wrong, he would still have time to take the students and run away.
