Chapter 761: The Buddha Appears After the Clouds and Mists Are Dispelled

The vast North Sea and the huge waves.

There are many ordinary small towns standing in the coastal areas.

Time has left its marks on those buildings. Some houses have been demolished and rebuilt, while some houses have disappeared forever in the dust after their collapse, just like people buried in the loess, reincarnating every few decades. Once they fall, they will never appear again.

The Beihai area has experienced various things, and the most far-reaching one was the return of Buddhism more than a hundred years ago.

The Guifo has been operating for many years and has already spread Buddhist disciples all over the world, secretly competing with the gods in heaven for incense and faith.

Originally, according to the idea of ​​the evil Buddhas, after thousands of years of recuperation, they should be able to accumulate a certain amount of strength, openly challenge the Heavenly Court, and restore the former glory of the true Buddha.

This world needs the existence of "Buddha" to break the monopoly of Taoist immortals and maintain a dynamic balance.

Therefore, even though he knew that the Emperor of Heaven was completely unshakable, Gui Fo was not worried that Buddhism would be extinct again. The Emperor of Heaven would not easily suppress this "trend" that was conducive to eternal peace.

It’s a pity that the last time the body of the Human Emperor revived, he killed all the powerful Weird Buddhas with great force, leaving only a Weird Buddha who was half a step away from being a Taoist master. And it was only for the sake of the Emperor of Heaven that he spared its life.

The temple was filled with smoke, and the sound of the wooden fish could no longer be heard behind the exquisite and solemn Buddha statues; in the courtyard with falling leaves, the golden skeleton and the skinny old monk wearing a bloody cassock could no longer be seen...

Of all the old obsessions filled with greed, anger, and ignorance, only myself is left.

The blood-stained figures on the nine-colored lotus platform sometimes couldn't help but ask themselves, what was the meaning of their return?

It turned into an obsession, and he brought back the Buddhist philosophy, but was warned by the Emperor of Heaven and failed to spread the extreme philosophy radicalized by the Weird Buddha. He wanted to take back the sacred object of Buddhism, the Bodhi tree, and comprehend the supreme Buddhist Dharma, but he was afraid of the relationship between Li Yuan and the Emperor of Heaven, and never dared to do it.

He forcibly converted a "little ant" and made him the hub to guide the return of Buddhism. After the strange Buddhas returned safely, they no longer paid any attention to him.

As a result, due to cause and effect, the "little ant" had a trip to the human world and directly realized the nature of supreme wisdom. He returned with pure Buddha nature, purified the people who were forcibly converted, and "competed" with the evil Buddha for faith.

In fact, it is not right to say that there was a competition. Chen Xuan was just implementing the Buddhist philosophy that he had realized on himself and his disciples, setting an example by himself.

Those people who were forcibly converted, after they regained their will, gradually understood the differences between the two sides and naturally joined the new Buddhist sect led by Chen Xuan.

The Buddhism sect, which is a false Buddha transformed from the obsession with the true Buddha, is extreme and narrow-minded. It speaks in high-sounding words, but in fact it mainly relies on forced conversion. It believes that those who believe in me will be blessed by the Buddha, while those who do not believe in me will suffer all kinds of hardships on their own and have no help.

Chen Xuan knew the sufferings of the people, saw the various human hearts, and had his own tortuous experiences. After thoroughly understanding the coexistence of great love and small emotions, he had already seen through the world.

He never forced others to join Buddhism. He used Buddhist teachings to protect all living beings, taught people to be kind, and personally led his disciples to create a peaceful and pure land in troubled times and protect the area.

The human mind is dull and the eyes are easily deceived; but the eyes of all living beings can sometimes be frighteningly clear.

The New Buddhism appeared at the most appropriate time. The Buddhist trend opened up by many powerful people of the Weird Buddha was gradually eroded and taken over by Chen Xuan over the past hundred years, and has gradually fallen into a disadvantage.

But in the eyes of the ignorant people, Buddhism is still Buddhism, and the "Buddhas" have never changed. They just put the principles they talk about into practice, as if it is a natural thing.

According to the original situation, it was impossible for Gui Fo to sit idly by and watch Chen Xuan become more powerful, even if he was secretly strangled.

However, the killing of the remains of the Human Emperor caused the top leaders of the Gui Buddha to disappear, and they had no ability to stop Chen Xuan at all. The figure of the Nine-Colored Lotus Platform who was the only one alive also gradually understood the meaning of "the one above".

The so-called return of the strange Buddha is nothing but the arrangement of the fate. It uses extreme methods to let Buddhism gain a foothold, and then let the "real Buddhism" appear in the world, eliminate the influence left by the strange Buddha, take over all the territories of the strange Buddha, and complete the real return of Nirvana.

This is the driving force of momentum, and it may also be the intention in the heart of the Heavenly Emperor. Although he will not show it, the figure on the Nine-Colored Lotus Platform has already understood it all.

But...such an ending made Guifo feel even more regretful and his mind became difficult to understand.

They were the result of Buddha's obsession, and they returned to the Three Realms with the intention of achieving great things and restoring the glory of Buddhism. They thought they could become the chess players behind the scenes, competing for the position of winner in the storm. However, everything was shattered by Li Yuan's action of awakening the remains of the Human Emperor.

The Human Emperor knew that he was about to burn himself out, so he was not afraid of any cause and effect. He directly killed all the enemies, almost killing all the high-level leaders of the Weird Buddha, and directly destroyed the "momentum" accumulated by the Weird Buddha.

The chess game among the three realms suddenly changed.

For the sake of general peace, the Emperor of Heaven welcomes the return of Buddhism, and even the mysterious trajectory is promoting the revival of the true Buddha. However, these fallen and evil Buddhas, after the great losses of their top leaders, have become a "joke" that no one cares about.

The Weird Buddha thought he was the chess player, but in this matter, the players have always been the True Buddha and the Emperor of Heaven, as well as the Human Emperor who had no scruples and disrupted the game at will.

The True Buddha had a heart of utmost wisdom and saw through everything. He knew that the Emperor of Heaven was trying a new path and that Buddhism would return sooner or later. So he did not fight to the death, but cooperated with the Emperor of Heaven in this chess game of extermination of Buddhism.

After the Emperor of Heaven destroyed Buddhism, he spent millions of years experimenting and found that the dominance of Heaven would inevitably lead to decay. The world really needed Buddha to restrain Taoism, so he secretly pushed for the return of Buddhism.

For the True Buddha and the Emperor of Heaven, the two sides were just cooperating to try a new path, and after finding that it was not possible, they restored everything to its original state.

But it is different for the evil Buddhas. They are truly determined to revive Buddhism, even if they know that they have already degenerated into evil and are biased.

The feeling of loss and powerlessness when hope was shattered and everything was controlled by others really made Guifo feel depressed and helpless.

With this thought in mind, the blurry figure on the nine-colored lotus platform sighed softly and walked down the platform silently.

This was the first time it left the Nine-Colored Lotus Platform, as if it had given up the most persistent thought in its heart.

There are green mountains and green waters in the near distance, and rippling waves in the distance.

A blurry figure walked between the low hills and up the forest path at a slow pace.

In coastal areas, there is always salty and humid sea breeze, which accumulates in the mountains and brings a moist and cool feeling.

There is a thin mist in the mountains, like clouds and smoke.

Gently pushing away the light smoke and white mist, the eerie Buddha with a blurry face saw the figure on the edge of the cliff of the low mountain.

Chen Xuan sat cross-legged on the edge of the cliff, a green swallow lingering on his fingertips. He seemed unwilling to scare the swallow, and maintained this posture for a long time.

Next to him, there was a simple cenotaph standing on the edge of the cliff. It looked a little lonely, but with Chen Xuan's company, it seemed less lonely.

On the cenotaph, there is a wooden plaque engraved with the words "Qin Lin's Tomb", and at the lower left, there is a small sentence - "Husband Chen Xuanli".

Simple and without much description.

More than a hundred years have passed. Qin Lin, a mortal woman, was unwilling to take elixirs to prolong her life, and had already been buried in the earth. Her body was buried at the foot of Anshan.

She lived a happy and ordinary life, got rid of all her regrets, and fulfilled Chen Xuan's wish.

Even Chen Xuan's child, the one named Chen Xuanzang, had already lived out his ordinary and happy life and was reincarnated many years ago.

It is difficult to say what will happen next, but in this life, Chen Xuanzang lived a peaceful and stable life.

"You embrace Buddha but don't worship him. Instead, you guard the tomb of a mortal woman... I really don't understand your path."

Looking at Chen Xuan's back, the blurry figure of Gui Buddha sighed.

Although the sound was low, it still startled the blue swallow and made it fly up. It chirped a few times and lingered in the clouds and mist surrounding the mountain peaks for a few circles, reluctantly leaving this place that brought peace to its heart.

Chen Xuan sat cross-legged on the edge of the cliff, right next to the cenotaph, with a calm expression and a peaceful and relaxed smile.

After Qingyan flew away in fright, the hand that had been raised for a long time was gently placed on the wooden tombstone and stroked it.

“When people see the Buddha, there is no definite conclusion about his appearance.”

"She is my wife and Buddha."
