Journey to the West: The Rise of Martial Arts

Chapter 272 Xiaoleiyin Temple
The difficulty of Muxian Nunnery seems a little calm and too ordinary, but Buddhism counts this catastrophe as one of the ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties of learning scriptures, and it is not just to make up for the number.

In fact, as the ancestral land of the spirit race in the ancient times, this Thorn Ridge is hardly certain whether there is a powerful existence that survived from that era.

After all, going west to learn Buddhist scriptures is a matter of great importance. Buddhism, Taoism, and heaven are all paying attention to it secretly. More importantly, this is a matter of following the heavens and the Dao, and it is something that the Dao of Heaven approves and advocates.As long as people who learn Buddhist scriptures don't commit suicide, there are people in the Three Realms who want to help them.

Is there any expert behind Thorn Ridge? Just let the pilgrims test it out. If there is, the Buddhist sect can take this opportunity to sell the other party a favor.After all, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. There is already a Taoist Wuzhuang Temple and a demon clan's Beihuang Temple on Hezhou Xiniu, so there is no need for another Thorny Ridge.

As a bystander, Ren Qinglian could vaguely see the way in which this happened, but these had nothing to do with him. In fact, he didn't bother to participate in disasters like this.But thinking of the next difficulty, Ren Qinglian still had some expectations.

Regarding Xiaoleiyin Temple, Ren Qinglian remembers a description in the book: "It's been a long time, and it's worth the winter, it's the day of the three springs", and at this moment when they passed the Thorn Ridge, it was just the beginning of spring, and a "again" The word, obviously refers to next year.

Compared with the deity running around and working hard to improve his strength, the next year for the avatar will be much more ordinary.

Along the way, in addition to continuing to improve the strength of this physical body, he would occasionally ponder the unknown secrets hidden in the disaster of the Little Leiyin Temple.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you take advantage of the opportunity to fight the wind and reap benefits. Along the way, Ren Qinglian obviously knows this well.

The first is the identity of the Buddha who came from the east.

Ren Qinglian's only reliance when she came to this world was the Journey to the West Shi'e Biography in her previous life. As his strength continued to improve, every word recorded in the book was deeply imprinted in his mind, and it was everywhere. Looking at the whole book, there are actually two rulers in this Buddhist sect, one of which is naturally Duobao Tathagata, and the other is the Buddha from the East, which is the Maitreya Buddha that is often mentioned in later generations.Even the Buddha who came from the east once said to the monkey: "I am the ruler of the world, and I have a good eye, so I don't know you!"

In this way, the relationship between the Eastern Buddha and Duobao Tathagata is worth pondering.

Ren Qinglian only knew that Lao Tzu went west to Hangu to turn Hu into a Buddha, and that Duobao Daoist was reincarnated as Sakyamuni because of this, and separated a part of luck from Buddhism for Taoism, but she didn't know that the two Western sages were also scheming and came here. He used all the tricks and acquiesced in the status of Duobao Tathagata Buddha, which made the luck of Buddhism return to one body and ushered in the so-called sign of great prosperity.

It seems that Lao Tzu made a mistake, but in fact, at the beginning, he was on guard against this happening.This is to mention that after Taoist Duobao reincarnated, he found a Taoist monk from Dongsheng Shenzhou, just in case, and this person is the current Donglai Buddha Maitreya Buddha.It's just the calculation, the development of things soon exceeded Lao Tzu's calculations, and the Maitreya Buddha he used as a precaution was soon completely emptied by Duobao Tathagata and became a Buddha in name only.

However, as a former master of Jiejiao, Duobao Tathagata is still very transparent about human relationships and sophistication. Anyway, whoever has the biggest fist in this world is the right one. Identity is more convenient for oneself to improve strength.He would not easily offend Lao Tzu, the former great master, so he made a promise to Maitreya Buddha in the future.

As for why Maitreya should be given the identity of a future Buddha, Duobao Tathagata’s explanation is this, don’t you have an acquired bag (human race bag), if the Buddha Nirvana in the future, you will use this bag to bring the most pious Buddha to the Land of Ultimate Bliss. Those believers took them away, re-sowed scattered leaves in another place, and then opened the Paradise of Paradise.This point is a bit similar to the Noah's Ark in the legend of the Great Flood in the West that Ren Qinglian's later generations have heard of. After all, in terms of function, the Houtian bag in Maitreya's hand is not the same as the legendary Noah's Ark. Little bit.

Leaving aside whether or not this so-called Buddha's Nirvana will happen, and how long it will take, Maitreya Buddha can at least be regarded as a respectable figure with this status. It is naturally normal to reap some merits and benefits during this journey to the west.

Although Ren Qinglian couldn't know these secrets, she could guess from the boy who knocked the chime that the Buddha came from the east dared to call his cave the Little Leiyin Temple. At least from the perspective of status, Maitreya The Buddha should be a figure on the same level as Duobao Tathagata.

Compared with the ordinary side of the avatar, the experience of the deity over the past year has been much more ups and downs and turbulent.

When Xuanzang and others had just left Thorn Ridge, Ren Qinglian's deity also happened to have thoroughly comprehended the technique of turning the golden crow into a rainbow, turning it into a rainbow light, and in the blink of an eye, came to the Yellow Flower Temple.

The brothers and sisters of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch started practicing with Yu Yuan at some point, but it is conceivable that Yu Yuan was originally an orthodox Taoist disciple on Penglai Island. He has a head and a face, so his disciples are quite knowledgeable, just like this Taoist temple in front of him: it is really like Tiantai Cave, not inferior to Xianyan's family!There is even a couplet written on the two stone pillars in front of the gate: Huangya Baixue Immortal Mansion, Yaocao Qihua Taoist Home!
At the end of the stone steps of the mountain gate, there was a big stone about Zhang Xu standing on the side of the road. Two young Taoist priests were talking in a low voice. They caught a glimpse of Ren Qinglian looking at the mountain gate. She moved and blocked the road. She stood up with one palm. , made a Jishou and said: "Buddha of Infinite Life, benefactor, please stop."

"Oh? Isn't this Taoist temple of yours open to the outside world? I originally planned to donate a sum of money for incense!" Ren Qinglian smiled indifferently. It is not for the purpose of collecting the power of faith. The ignorant mountain people nearby often come to this Taoist temple to worship and offer some incense and so on.

The eyes of the two Taoist priests brightened, and one of them hesitated: "My lord, I don't know, the teacher once made a rule that you are not allowed to carry weapons with you when you enter the temple!"
