Chapter 386: Buddha, the King of Freedom in the World
Chapter 386: Buddha, the King of Freedom in the World
"Buddha bones, are there really Buddha bones in this world?" Wuhua's Buddha heart was in turmoil.
Although he was a monk, he actually didn't really believe in the so-called gods and Buddhas. In his opinion, even if they existed, those gods and Buddhas were created by powerful humans through cultivation, and they had already left this world, so it was difficult for them to have an impact on the world.
But there is indeed a powerful evil Buddha hidden in the jade Buddha.
"Of course. Although this world is trapped in the Age of the Dharma Ending, Shakyamuni and Taishang will not be bound by the Dharma Ending because they are the Dharma."
A Buddha's face appeared in front of Wuhua.
To be precise, this Buddha's face looks exactly like King Kuaile.
Wuhua killed half of his mentor, Abbot Tianhu, with his own hands, and got the jade Buddha from Tianhu. And King Kuaihuo was his accomplice.
When King Kuaihuo saw Wuhua find the Jade Buddha, he snatched it away directly. However, he did not expect that the Jade Buddha would directly suck King Kuaihuo in, and then this evil Buddha appeared.
It calls itself the World-Honored King of Self-Mastery Buddha, and it attained enlightenment before Sakyamuni. It is also said that after Sakyamuni attained enlightenment, he held a Ten Thousand Buddhas Assembly during the Ullambana Festival, at which he suppressed it inside this jade Buddha.
He believed that the Buddha could subdue demons, but Wuhua didn't believe it at all when the Buddha subdued Buddha.
So he thought that this guy was an evil Buddha or a demon.
"Taishang?" Wuhua's mind flashed, and then he became doubtful about the evil Buddha's words.
The evil Buddha said, "Taishang is a title. The most pure and quiet way, the nameless king of the ancient times, is called Taishang. That is the Taoist I am looking for."
"Why did you look for that Taoist priest?"
"Of course I'll ask him to help me remove the seal on Sakyamuni. Otherwise, how can I rely on you useless monks?"
"Why would Tai Shang help you?"
"This Taishang is Sakyamuni's enemy, he will definitely help me. There is a saying in the mortal world that the enemy of my enemy is my friend."
"Yeah." Wuhua nodded and asked again: "How is King Kuaihuo?"
"He is my projection. You don't think that the Buddha ate him, do you? He is actually me."
"projection?"
"Since you have become my Dharma transmitter, it is okay for me to tell you these things. In this world, there are many special people who are actually the incarnations and projections of some old things in the universe. Of course, they can also be called 'fish'."
"fish?"
"It's nothing more than a title. The matter is very complicated. For example, before Sakyamuni became a Buddha, he was a Taoist priest with the Taoist name 'Duobao', but after he became a Buddha, there was no Duobao Taoist. No matter in the past, future, or present, in any time and space, there is no Duobao Taoist, only Sakyamuni. Oh, that's not right. There was a Duobao Taoist in the Conferred Gods time and space."
"The time and space of Conferred Gods?"
"That is the past of Lingbao Tianzun. Only by seeing Lingbao Tianzun and getting his permission can you enter. However, Duobao Taoist in the Conferred God Time and Space actually has nothing to do with Sakyamuni. The Duobao Taoist there is one of the living beings of Lingbao Tianzun."
"If I remember correctly, Lingbao Tianzun should be one of the Three Pure Ones?"
"Wrong, the Shangqing among the Three Pure Ones is Lingbao Tianzun, but Lingbao Tianzun is not Shangqing."
"how do I say this?"
"The Three Pure Ones are realms that can be cultivated, and are also titles that can be obtained. Whoever cultivates to Shangqing is Lingbao Tianzun, but Lingbao Tianzun is not just Shangqing. It can be said that Shangqing is also the fish of Lingbao Tianzun."
"What about you? How do you compare to the Three Pure Ones?"
"You are talking nonsense. No one in the world can compare with the Three Pure Ones. Even I, the Buddha, can only compare with Sakyamuni before he became a Buddha. But Sakyamuni has become a Buddha in the past, present and future, so the Buddha cannot compare with him. But the Buddha wants to vent his anger."
"Then how do you know the Tathagata Palm?"
"You are wrong. If it is Tathagata, then he will know it. The Buddha was already Tathagata before Sakyamuni, so how could he not know Tathagata Palm?"
"But you said that Sakyamuni has already attained Buddhahood in the past, present and future. How could he have attained Buddhahood before the Buddha?"
"You don't understand again. Sakyamuni is Sakyamuni, but the spirit boy and Sakyamuni's incarnation, as well as his many incarnations, are not Sakyamuni. They are fish."
Wuhua had a vague understanding.
Buddha is Buddha, all time and space are Buddha.
However, the Buddha's incarnations, reincarnations and other forms are not the Buddha.
"By the way, I don't think that Taoist priest Xu Qing is an ordinary person. What is his background?"
"I am just an ordinary mortal who got a chance by chance." The King of Freedom Buddha in the World said with disdain.
Wuhua expressed disbelief.
No matter what, the feeling Xu Qing gave him was more powerful than the projection of the King of Freedom Buddha, the King of Happiness.
But this is not appropriate to say out loud.
Fortunately, this question opened up a wider world for Wuhua. Originally, he just wanted to be the abbot of Shaolin Temple, but now... he wants more!
Wuhua believes that she deserves all the good things in the world.
On the other hand, Wuhua knew very well that what Xiefo said was simply a pie in the sky to seduce him so that he would work for him wholeheartedly.
We are all monks. Who doesn’t know how to make great vows and deceive believers?
However, Wuhua also believed that what the evil Buddha said was true.
For a smart person, knowing that spiritual practice is not in vain, but can really lead to becoming an immortal, a saint, or a Buddha, he will try it no matter how difficult the road ahead is.
Even if my body is torn to pieces, my determination to seek the truth will remain as strong as a diamond.
However, these things also need to be confirmed by him personally.
While Wuhua was thinking, he suddenly felt tired and fell into a deep sleep.
When he fell asleep, the energy and blood in his body were like cigarette smoke, curling away into the void.
Soon, the evil Buddha whispered, "Where are the cattle and horses in the underworld?"
In an instant, ripples appeared in the space, and two underworld ghosts in the shape of cows and horses appeared in the meditation room.
The two ox-horse ghosts and gods all showed expressions of panic.
Among them, the Bull Head bowed to the void, "I wonder which great god used his great magical power to call the heavens to respond and the earth to respond to summon us to this place of the Dharma Ending Age."
This place is a forbidden place in the underworld and has a reputation for it.
It is impossible for ghosts from the underworld to get in.
Unexpectedly, these two unlucky guys were playing mahjong in the City of the Dead when they were summoned by some powerful man with great magical powers.
It is true that people sit at home, and disasters come from heaven.
"This Taoist's life span has ended, why hasn't he entered the underworld?" A Buddhist voice sounded in the void, and a Buddhist light covered the Ox-Head and Horse-Face.
The two soul-catchers from the underworld immediately understood what each other meant.
It's strange.
Although this is the place of the Dharma Ending Age and ghosts and evil spirits cannot enter, the living beings here all have their names in the Book of Life and Death, and when the time comes, they will all go to the underworld.
But this Taoist priest’s life span had clearly come to an end, yet he still hadn’t gone to the underworld.
Normally, it would be fine if the Soul Catcher didn't know about this kind of thing, but even if he did, he couldn't pretend to be blind.
The problem is, in this Dharma Ending Age, they can’t do anything.
"Now that you know about this, you two should go and perform your duties."
A gust of fragrant wind blew, and the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Monsters floated away involuntarily. When they came to their senses, they found that they both had physical bodies and were full of energy and blood. They were obviously people who practiced martial arts in the world of the living, and were not ordinary warriors.
"Brother Niu, we have a physical body now."
For ghosts, the biggest wish is to have a physical body so that they can experience all the sounds and colors of the world.
What's more, their flesh is still human.
"I wonder which ancient Buddha has such a method to allow us to take over the body in this place of the Dharma Ending." Niu Tou was horrified. Ma Mian: "Brother Niu, this is a Taoist temple of the Supreme God. Although there are restrictions of the Dharma Ending, who knows which great god's treasures are left there. We are doing a job for this Buddha, and see if we can find some treasures to take back to the underworld to honor the Judge and find us a good job."
There is no difference between the cattle and horses in the underworld and those in the world of the living. They are simply consumables for work.
But consumables also have different levels.
For some consumables, one does not have to work, but can take bribes through card payment, and their names are also recorded in the yellow book of the underworld. That is a stable job that will never be easily lost.
Even if a ghost hero were to come to the underworld and change the dynasty, these petty clerks and runners in the underworld would mostly not be affected, and their treatment might even be raised.
The status of two oxen and horses in the underworld today is like that of temporary workers in the world of the living.
If one can curry favor with the judge above him, becoming a regular official will be a piece of cake.
If you have a job in the underworld and endure years of hard work, you may have the opportunity to move up.
If their names are not in the yellow book of the underworld, sometimes when strong men break into the underworld, these people will be the first to rush forward and be beaten to death.
Moreover, the Yellow Book of the Underworld and the Book of Life and Death are connected together. If the god of the underworld in the Yellow Book dies, he can be resurrected after paying a price.
Other temporary workers don’t have this kind of treatment.
Speaking of which, the underworld is not peaceful nowadays. Many powerful people dominate each other and it is totally out of order.
The two oxen and horses made a plan, picked up their swords, and quietly went out to do errands for the Buddha. They knew that they were called here to do this.
If they fail to do so, such powerful beings, even in the Dharma Ending Age, have plenty of ways to deal with them.
After all, they were ghosts from the underworld. They soon became familiar with my body and figured out my current identity. They were two disciples of Kunlun Sect who had practiced a set of Yin-Yang sword techniques.
There are many Yin-Yang sword techniques in the world, and there are also many legends in the underworld.
The most famous of these is the legendary Taiyi Fenguang Sword.
As for the formation of the Yin-Yang Dao, it is the Yin-Yang Microdust Formation, which is as famous as the Zhu Xian Sword Formation.
In the universe, he is notorious.
Based on the clues provided by the evil Buddha's light, the two oxen and horses remembered the breath of Xu Qing, the Taoist priest who was supposed to die.
Taking advantage of the darkness of night, the two oxen and horses crept over.
They were all in the guest rooms, so not far from Xu Qing.
In this land of the Dharma Ending Age, the God of the Underworld cannot directly display his magical powers, but there are other ways.
For example, the blood and energy in the bodies of the two oxen and horses can be transformed into powerful spiritual power by using the method of blood sacrifice.
The two oxen and horses were still cautious in their actions. They directly sacrificed their qi and blood and used their soul-snatching hands.
...
...
Xu Qingben was meditating in the guest room when he suddenly felt his whole body lighten.
"This……"
He was filled with a clear light, and suddenly he felt that the world had become brighter. At the same time, the laws and rules of the world turned into threads that appeared in his eyes.
The mysteries contained in the I Ching annotations that Xu Qing had comprehended some time ago were displayed in his eyes extremely clearly and profoundly at this moment.
"This is... the soul."
Xu Qing heard a shout, which pulled his thoughts away from the mysteries of heaven and earth.
This is equivalent to interrupting his epiphany!
Xu Qing felt unhappy and looked at the other party.
The two Taoists looked at him and trembled.
At this time, Xu Qing was in the state of Yuanshen. With his Taoist divine eyes, he saw that there were two evil spirits attached to the two Taoists.
"Where are you from?" Xu Qing frowned.
The two cows and horses of the underworld could never have imagined that the soul of the mortal Taoist priest they wanted to capture had already turned into a spirit.
how is this possible.
In the land of the Dharma Ending Age, no one can become an immortal.
Where did this soul come from?
Even if someone in the Dharma Ending Age realizes the way to immortality, it is impossible for him to condense his primordial spirit in this world.
Because the conditions do not exist at all.
The moment they saw Xu Qingyuan's spirit, the two oxen and horses realized they were in big trouble.
What is the difference between this and their predecessors imprisoning the monkey's soul?
They are all unlucky!
The two cows and horses then realized that they had made a big mess.
Xu Qing is now in the state of soul, and some of his magical powers have been restored. He looks over there.
Without waiting for the two oxen and horses to use their swords, he subdued them to the ground, and they dared not resist at all.
Xu Qing soon sensed a thrilling sense of danger and realized that his spiritual state could not last long, otherwise there would be a disaster, so he simply returned his spiritual state to his physical body.
He pushed open the door and saw two guys dressed as Taoist priests of Kunlun Sect lying on the ground and trembling outside.
Just as he was about to ask a question, suddenly, the two Taoists foamed at the mouth.
Two streams of black smoke floated out of the body in the blink of an eye and disappeared into thin air.
He didn't even give Xu Qing a chance to ask further questions.
The noise alarmed other people in the martial arts world.
...
...
"These two Taoist priests are the disciples of Mr. He of Kunlun Sect. They have made great achievements in practicing the Liangyi Sword Technique. I never thought that they would die in front of Taoist priest Xu. I hope Taoist priest Xu can give an explanation."
Two Taoist priests from Kunlun Sect died at the door of Xu Qing's guest room, and many people in the martial arts world saw it.
It can be said that Xu Qing cannot wash himself clean even if he jumps into the Yellow River.
Moreover, after the two Taoists died, they both showed strange smiles, as if they had entered paradise.
This death was exactly the same as the situation before the death of Abbot Tianhu.
There is no way to clear Xu Qing of suspicion.
Even if he did anything in his life, he didn't need to explain it to others.
But Xu Qing now represents Chongyang Palace and Quanzhen Sect!
If this matter cannot be explained clearly, it will be another major blow to the Quanzhen Sect.
The key point is that Xu Qing himself was also confused.
How could he possibly kill these two Taoists? To be more precise, it was the ox and horse Yin spirits in the two Taoists that were able to draw out Xu Qing's soul.
If Xu Qing can figure out this principle, he will be able to display his magical powers in this world of the Dharma Ending Age. The significance of this is self-evident.
“I didn’t kill that person. If I wanted to kill someone, why would I use such evil means?” Xu Qing said calmly in response to the questioning from the Shaolin monk.
"But how do you explain this?"
Xu Qing said calmly, "From what I can see, the way these two Taoists died is exactly the same as the abbot of your temple, which means the person who did it is still in your temple. Moreover, I was not in Shaoshi Mountain when the abbot of your temple was in trouble. Your temple must know about this."
