Tao and Heaven

Chapter 264: Preaching to the Buddhas, Killing for the Buddha

The nine-zhang-long golden man's body is spacious enough to accommodate two people.

Thinking back to the days when the golden body was only three meters tall, Gu Wen and Chi Yuzi were almost touching each other. Sometimes he hugged Chi Yuzi, and sometimes Chi Yuzi rode on his shoulders, so physical contact was inevitable.

Fortunately, Akabane's body and mind are as broad as hers, and she never cares about the inevitable contact.

With so much support and generosity, Gu Wen really wanted to say, "If you weren't a girl, I would definitely become your brother."

It seems that we can no longer be brothers, because brothers will not completely lack a sense of boundaries.

Gu Wen looked at the Taoist priest who looked like him, his eyes dim. Chi Yuzi's eyes dodged for a moment, then he grinned and said, "Gu Wen, why did you come just now? I caught a female Bodhisattva to dance for you. This little nun has a great figure, she must be very good at dancing..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Wen reached out and grabbed the other person. The Taoist in green shrank instantly and turned into a petite and exquisite girl.

The girl was held in his arms, his arms around her neck, and his right hand suddenly flicked her forehead.

when!
The sound is crisp when it is played, and you can tell it is a good start at the first listen.

Akabane cried out in pain, then slowly squatted down with her hands covering her forehead, tears welling up in her eyes.

"I was wrong, please don't play it again."

A thought came to her mind, and she thought viciously: 'When I become stronger than you one day, I will definitely eat your flesh.'

"..."

Gu Wen was both amused and confused. He felt that inflicting pain by tapping the forehead was no longer a normal means of punishment, and he would have to find a bamboo whip in the future.

"I told you not to drink during the day, so as not to miss your work. It seems that you ignored my words."

Akabane argued softly, "I only drank a little bit, and I wasn't causing any trouble."

"what is that?"

"To establish your authority!"

Akabane raised his head and chest slightly, and said very proudly: "Didn't you order not to allow the reincarnation of Buddha a few days ago? Now that the Buddhist sect does not respect the law, it must be severely punished. We are coming to kill you today, and no one will dare to look down on you in the future."

Gu Wen asked quietly, "If Master asks, how should I answer?"

He didn't care if Akabane made trouble, and it wasn't a big deal if he used his own name to make trouble. Gu Wen didn't care much about his reputation, also because the person who pretended to be him was Akabane.

But if my master knew about this, he would definitely scold me and might even use this as an excuse to arrest me.

Gu Wen felt a little numb when he thought about paying his respects three times a day and his master ordering him around in different ways every day.

Sometimes it is not a good thing to love someone too much, especially when the master is stronger than you.

Gu Wen really became a toy in front of her.

Chiyuzi's face froze. Because of his love for the man, the immortal Qingcang was also somewhat close to her and often taught her how to practice.

In most cases, she was just given some pointers and then slapped in the face, leaving her dizzy and dazed.

"Of course you have to bear the responsibility. Since you have the reputation, you have to prevent any harm."

"I never said I wanted fame."

"Anyway, it's yours whether you want it or not. When the time comes, when Immortal Qingcang asks you about it, will you believe the people of the world or your frame-up?"

When Akabane thought of this, she felt that she was extremely talented and intelligent.

If he did something bad in the future, he could just use Gu Wen's name. As Immortal Qingcang loved him so much, he would definitely not use his fists or kicks, at most he would just give him a verbal reprimand.

She lay flat on her back like a broken jar, and said, "It's my fault, but you have my money and my people, so do whatever you want."

The next moment, Chiyuzi turned back into the Taoist priest in green.

She was stunned for a moment, and found that she could not remove the transformation wrapped on her surface. A layer of golden light spell as thin as a cicada's wing forced her to maintain this face.

When she looked up, Gu Wen had turned into a petite girl, looking like her.

Akabane had a bad feeling and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Uh-huh!!!"

Akabane's eyes widened, with uncontrollable fear in them.

How could she, the dignified Xuanmen Tianzun, the Zhenwu Dangmo Tianzun, dance for these filthy bald donkeys?

This is worse than killing her!

Before Chiyuzi could speak, Gu Wen had already taken a step back and left the golden man.

At this time, the outside world.

The golden Buddha's eyes exploded and turned into wisps of golden sand floating in the air.

The jade-faced monk opened his eyes wide and stretched out his hand to touch the golden sand, wanting to collect the golden sand and then gather it into a pair of golden eyes.

But for some reason, these golden sands are untouchable. Holding a grain of golden sand in the hand feels as heavy as a thousand pounds, and a handful of golden sand is like lifting a mountain.

Some of the golden sand fell to the ground and broke the floor. If it fell on people, those with cultivation could resist it. But if they had no cultivation and were devoted to the Buddhist path but had not yet achieved enlightenment, they would die if they touched it, and would be disabled if they were touched.

The nine-foot-tall golden god waved his arm, which was as strong as a palace pillar, and all the golden sands returned to his palm.

Then a petite girl walked out from the chest of the god, barefoot in the air, with a lotus flower appearing with every step. Her gray and indifferent eyes were filled with murderous intent and Buddhist meaning intertwined.

It's like a Buddha descending to the world.

Everyone was stunned. The jade-faced monk looked confused. He couldn't tell the depth of the girl in front of him, and the breath of the Taoist priest was still in the golden man.

The girl and the Taoist priest in green are obviously not the same person.

Then who is this person and why did he come out from the golden body of Zhenwu Dangmo Tianzun?

He asked, "Amitabha, may I ask your name?"

"Immortal Yuqing."

The girl had a clear voice, just like Akabane's, but more like her sister Akabane.

He is high and mighty, indifferent, like a seeker of truth who has been tempered by the years.

"Today I have ascended Mount Xumi to discuss Buddhism with the Buddha and to determine who is superior."

Everyone in the temple was suddenly in an uproar. They were surprised that Yuqing's true body was a petite girl, and they were also shocked that Yuqing Tianzun actually wanted to discuss Buddhism with the Buddha.

A person who practices Taoism discusses Buddhism with the founder of Buddhism?

The jade-faced monk frowned. Due to the other party's identity, he couldn't see through his true intentions and could only swallow his unhappiness.

He clasped his hands together in a pretentious manner and said, "There is no high or low in Buddhism. Being kind and generous is Buddhism, being angry is Buddhism, and even killing people is Buddhism."

"Donor, you are obsessed with appearances. Why don't you sit down and let me enlighten you."

"Open solution?"

There was a hint of thought in the girl's indifferent eyes, and her pretty face made the jade-faced monk feel a little complicated.

Chiyuzi's bone structure can be described as an immortal's. Being born with a half-immortal, it is impossible for him to be too bad.

She is probably the only one in the world who truly has semi-immortal blood.

The jade-faced monk was distracted for a moment and almost nodded, then quickly lowered his head and silently recited scriptures.

At this time, the murderous intent of the Nine-foot Golden Body Divine General had already emerged, like a rolling river.

The monks below the stage held their breath and were all frightened by the murderous aura. However, some monks with high cultivation levels were not affected at all and ate melons instead.

Chongxu Zhenjun is one of them.

I heard that Chi Tianzun and Yuqing Tianzun eloped and gave birth to eight hundred children. This year I found out that not only is it true, but Chi Tianzun is also a complete jealous person.

The jade-faced monk sat down on the Buddha lotus seat, and Buddha's light emerged, extinguishing all distracting thoughts.

Buddha, fruit position.

I learned from Qianfenglou in the Impure City that the fruit position is equivalent to the cultivation of Taoism, and Buddha is the real immortal among them. This little monk has the heart of Buddha, but he is still young and has neither experienced the hard cultivation nor seen the world.

So much so that when you see beautiful women, your mind will be filled with complicated thoughts.

The word "Buddha" is filled with desires.

The golden Buddha lost his eyes, but the corners of his mouth were still raised. The Buddha's light lost its holiness, but the Buddha still existed.

The Buddha was not angry because of the Jade-faced Young Monk's lust; instead, he felt relieved.

The monk regained his composure, his aura rose slightly, and he absorbed more incense and prayer power.

He clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, I am guilty of sin."

Gu Wen understood a little bit. Just as Buddhism, Taoism and Demonism learned from each other, Buddhism was not entirely unique.

The Mahayana practice of incense burning is the main focus, while the Hinayana practice of cultivating the mind is supplementary.

He sat down cross-legged, as if he wanted to listen to Buddhist teachings.

Such an action made the monks below excited so much that their faces turned red. Just the fact that Yuqing sat down and listened to the Buddhist scriptures made them so excited that they felt ashamed.

This is the Taoist Heavenly Master, and also the current Supreme Being in the world.

Anyone who has reached the level of a Heavenly Venerable is a semi-immortal in the Dao realm, and it is almost impossible for them to abandon their own Dao. Therefore, from ancient times to the present, no Heavenly Venerable has ever visited a Buddhist meeting, let alone entered the Buddha to listen to his teachings.

"Little monk, you said that in order to reduce the sin of killing, we should convert the evildoers. Then if the converted evildoers continue to kill people, who will be held responsible for the sins of those who were killed?"

The Jade-faced Monk answered without hesitation: "Of course it's on him."

"Then if we had killed him at the beginning, wouldn't that have saved us from killing others? Isn't it a great virtue to use the death of one person to exchange for the safety of more people?"

"Buddha is merciful. Those who were killed will naturally reincarnate, and the evildoers are still living souls."

The jade-faced young monk clasped his hands together, his face full of Buddha's light, and his cassock was covered with precious jade, reflecting colorful light.

"The suffering of all living beings comes from desire. As long as there is one more kind person who understands the Buddha, the world will be one step closer to bliss."

"fart."

The girl's soft words echoed in the hall, like the lingering sound of the sword-wielding nun in the Buddhist meeting many years ago.

"Since you can't explain it clearly, let me explain it."

He turned and faced the 98,000 temples, a million monks, thousands of eminent monks, thousands of arhats, and bodhisattvas of the eight directions below.

The Buddhist principles are spoken from his mouth, and his voice contains the great Dao, which spreads over a hundred miles.

"It is only natural that a person who kills someone should be punished, and it is only natural that evildoers should be punished."

"The Buddha said, put down the butcher knife and you will become a Buddha right away. What is the butcher knife and what is the Buddhahood?"

"I say, putting down the butcher knife is to eliminate the evildoers, and becoming a Buddha right here and now is to eliminate the evil thoughts."

"Fools cultivate blessings but do not cultivate the Way, and only think that cultivating blessings is the Way. Giving and offerings bring boundless blessings, but the three evils are originally created in the heart. If you intend to cultivate blessings to eliminate sins, you will still have sins in the future. Just eliminate the causes of sin in your heart and truly repent in your nature. Suddenly realize the true repentance of the Mahayana, eliminate evil and do right, and then you will be free from sin..."

In the Buddhist hall, a faint and mysterious sound echoed, which was as calm and indifferent as a butcher's knife, awakening the monks' murderous intent.

The Bodhisattvas were the first to react. They closed their eyes and turned a deaf ear, using their fruition status to resist the Buddhist principles of killing.

The remaining Arhats were difficult to reach. Some closed their eyes and chanted scriptures, some could not resist and simply pierced their ears, and some had evil thoughts and their eyes were red.

Some people also started to practice. Their skinny bodies began to fill out, muscles bulged, and they turned into angry-looking Vajra.

"I have cultivated the Way, cultivated the devil, and cultivated the Buddha. I have only one thing to say about the Buddha's Way."

Gu Wen exhaled slowly and said the last sentence.

"Kill all the things that can be killed in the world, and return to the free mind of Bodhi."

Xuanyin had gone three thousand miles away, but the monks in the Buddhist temple were still in shock.

Chongxu Zhenjun and other people who did not practice Buddhism were the first to come to their senses. They recalled that there was both the meaning of the natural law of Taoism and the murderous intent of the devil, but in the end it all returned to the compassion of Buddhism.

To have a thorough understanding of the three paths of Buddhism, Taoism and Demonism, what a great level of attainment this is!

Is this the Jade Pure One, one of the Three Pure Ones who has not appeared in the world for eight hundred years?
Suddenly, a monk in the Buddhist hall stood up. Unknown to him, he had turned into a giant iron tower with eyebrows and eyes like iron and hands like hammers.

Master Chongxu felt a shadow covering him from behind, and when he turned around he saw more giant monks in iron towers.

They bowed their hands and bowed their waists, their voices as loud as bronze bells, and they said in unison: "Amitabha, we will follow the teachings of the Heavenly Venerable."

There are 800 people in the whole temple, less than one tenth of the 8,000 monks. Their aura is equivalent to the Taoist golden elixir, and the strongest among them is only a fusion.

The methods of practice in Buddhism and Taoism are different, with Buddhism placing more emphasis on training the mind. Many monks remain in mortal form throughout their entire lives.

The real purpose of the Buddhist Association is to enlighten these monks, grant them the fruit position, and help them achieve Buddhahood.

On the contrary, Gu Wen can also enlighten.

As he answered the nun Buddha Sword, compared to the blatant evil of the evil ways, no matter how filthy Buddhism is, it is still better than evil practices.

A doctrine that makes people do good and there will always be more people with good intentions.

These eight hundred monks were one of them.

He asked with a smile on his face: "If you encounter a bad person in the future, what will you do?"

The Eight Hundred Iron Monks replied: "Eliminate all evil and kill them as soon as possible!"

Gu Wen asked again: "If there are evil people hiding in the Buddhist temple, chanting sutras with all their heart, what should you do?"

The giant monks in the iron tower clenched their fists and said murderously: "We will make him wish he could neither live nor die!"

The jade-faced monk's expression changed drastically. He could no longer maintain his composure and pointed tremblingly downwards.

"This is a crooked and evil way, this is a crooked and evil way!"

The expressions of those Bodhisattvas and Arhats also changed drastically.

They knew very well how many evil people were hiding in Buddhism. Once these iron monks walked out, they would probably turn the entire Buddhism upside down and even cause millions of monks to turn their knives against each other.

Evil always exists, but good remains.

We can't let them leave alive!

The Bodhisattvas and Arhats from all directions had murderous intent in their eyes and had no mercy at all.

"Hahahahahaha..."

Suddenly, a loud laughter echoed in all directions, reaching the nine heavens and into the underworld.

The Blind Golden Buddha laughed, he laughed out loud, as if he was extremely pleased.

The jade-faced young monk and the other Bodhisattvas and Arhats were stunned and looked at the golden Buddha statue in disbelief.

This is the statue of Buddha, representing the will of Buddha.

Now, not only is the Buddha not angry about the murderous monks, nor does he take any action to punish or eliminate them. Instead, he smiles with great happiness?

Gu Wen was not surprised, as he had been aware of the nature of Buddha since early on.

As the master said, Buddha is desire.

Buddha is good principle, but good principle is not Buddha. Similarly, Buddha can also be good.

Gu Wen looked at the golden Buddha, and the golden Buddha looked at him. In the dark, two streams of Taoism converged, and a huge vortex spanning a thousand miles rose above Lingshan.

The law has not been announced, the fight has not begun, but the world has already changed color.

The golden Buddha opened its mouth and a golden intestine flew out and fell in front of Gu Wen.

"I grant you the status of Ksitigarbha. Even though you have consumed alcohol, meat and killing, you are both a Bodhisattva and a monk. Hahahaha!"
