Chapter 509 Ksitigarbha

Chu Tiange walked in proudly, looking around secretly.

Since the Buddha Kingdom is called a "country" rather than a "city", it is naturally larger, but in fact it is not much larger. It can also be said that this is the "capital city". Other cities on the periphery belong to the Buddha Kingdom, and this is just the core area.

Of course, the shape of this core area is not a city, but a mountain - Lingshan.

The template of Lingshan is essentially not much different from those of the Yunji Sect and other sects. There are powerful Buddhas and Bodhisattvas on each peak, who preach the Dharma. The largest and highest peak is topped by the "Great Leiyin Temple", where the Buddha resides.

It’s easy to guess that the most important place must be the main peak, or the mountain behind the main peak, or the Great Leiyin Temple is built at the most critical location.

What is the most important place, the most critical location?

Of course it is the White Tiger Tomb.

The corresponding one is in the New Heaven, which is the tomb where the Western Emperor fell.

As for whether it was the back mountain or the Great Leiyin Temple itself, Chu Tiange tended to think that the back mountain was more likely.

The reason is very simple. The White Tiger is the master of killing and the template of the cold-faced god of war is incompatible with the attributes of Buddhism. It should be Qiu Wuji or Chu Tiange. Although the Buddhism in this world is distorted, it still talks about the peaceful Buddhism. Different attributes are different attributes. Forcibly building a temple on it will inevitably cause strong conflicts, which is not worth the loss.

Therefore, it is more likely to be in the back mountain, so that it can be "developed and absorbed" at close range and avoid overly direct conflicts.

What do the White Tiger and Buddhism have in common? Very little.

The White Tiger belongs to the element of gold. The indestructible golden body and the indestructible diamond of Buddhism are mostly attributed to this element.

The white tiger has the meaning of warding off evil, averting disasters, praying for a good harvest, punishing evil and promoting good, etc., which fits in with some attributes of Buddhism, but in fact all auspicious animals or all religions have this meaning, and the correlation is not very strong. If we really have to say a strong correlation, it is better to be related to Taoism. Of course, there is nothing wrong with forcibly using it as an endorsement.

Interestingly, the White Tiger has one attribute...it’s mainly about marriage.

It's hilarious to think that a beast representing marriage is in the Buddhist kingdom. Perhaps the fact that the Buddhists in this world are openly promoting joyful Zen and the paradise has become that kind of template has something to do with this?

It may also be related to the native Indian Buddhism... When the Father God constructed the new heaven, he may have openly replaced the old with the new in the name of "Buddhism", confusing Indian Buddhism with Middle-earth Buddhism, and turned it into the freak it is today.

Chu Tiange thought of this and admired Chu Ge even more. Ever since he almost lost Qiu Wuji, the Father God has changed a lot since he regained control of the human world. His current thoughts make people ponder and feel that the situation is changing. At this time, the Father God must not have written the copy of his journey to the west without purpose. He must have a deep meaning in choosing this Kama Buddha to encounter him.

The Father God cannot write what the Buddha does, but it is very simple for him to control a few Buddhas. This Kama Buddha is most likely the identity prop that the Father God deliberately gave to himself.

But if this is the case, can we also say that the other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas created by the Father God are good people? They may not all be of the same mind as the Buddha?

This seems very possible... After all, it is only the Heavenly Emperor Buddha who rebels against the Way of Heaven, not everyone in the Heavenly Realm... From what I have seen and heard in Heaven, there are many people in Heaven who are good people. What about the Buddhist sect? Are they all just following the corrupted Buddha?

The more Chu Tiange thought about it, the clearer his mission became. He slowly walked all the way to the halfway point of the main peak, then suddenly took a detour and headed straight for the back mountain.

As a result, before he had taken a few steps, he saw a Bodhisattva leisurely coming down the mountain. Chu Tiange was instantly horrified and almost broke out in a cold sweat.

What a powerful Bodhisattva!

This should be a Golden Immortal, so why is he still at the Bodhisattva level?

But the Bodhisattva passed by Chu Tiange leisurely, and didn't even bother to pay attention to him, as if he was disdainful.

Chu Tiange's heart was moved, and he took the initiative to call out: "Buddha."

The Bodhisattva held down the auspicious cloud, smiled and looked back: "What advice do you have for me, Kama Buddha?"

Chu Tiange said: "We all practice the same teachings and attain enlightenment together, why is the Bodhisattva so cold to me?"

Oh, you're looking for trouble? The Bodhisattva was very surprised and laughed, "What kind of Bodhi did you attain?"

Poor Chu Tiange, he has never read any Buddhist scriptures, he only studied the Joy Sutra, how can he attain the Bodhi of a calf? Hearing this, he could only bite the bullet and say, "Whatever the Bodhisattva attains, that is what I attain."

Unintentionally, there was a hint of wit, and the Bodhisattva sneered, "Then you and I are different."

Chu Tiange said: "I would like to hear the details."

"I believe that only after all sentient beings have been saved can one attain Bodhi. I think it would be more suitable for you to change this ferrying to crossing the water." The Bodhisattva showed a look of disgust and walked away in a huff.

Chu Tiange is Sparta.

Damn, is this Ksitigarbha?

Dizang is actually driving... uh, I think I'm being criticized?

Chu Tiange didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and called out to Ksitigarbha again: "Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva!"

Dizang said coldly: "Why are you pestering me all the time if you don't go and experience your bliss?"

"Since the Bodhisattva wants to save all living beings, and then the Bodhisattva feels that I am not what you want, why not save me? When you are right next to me, but you walk away in anger, who can the Bodhisattva save like this?"

Dizang was stunned for a long time, his expression became more and more strange: "You want me to save you?"

Chu Tiange nodded innocently: "Yes. I want to know how to cross... There is no hell in the three realms. You and I have already reached the Western Paradise, ascended to the bliss, and listened to the sound of the heaven. This is not the end. Where else do you want to cross to?"

Dizang stared at him blankly, and suddenly burst into tears: "This is hell."

"If this is hell, where is heaven?"

Dizang sighed, put his hands together and said, "It's in my heart."

"It's so mysterious, how can it save people?" Chu Tiange pressed on, "Where is the Western Paradise? If this place is not the Western Paradise, can it be called the place where the Western Emperor is?"

Jizo narrowed his eyes.

He finally realized that this person was not Kama.

This could not possibly be what Kama said.

"Who are you?" Dizang carefully thought, "You pretended to be Jialuo and went to Lingshan alone. Aren't you afraid of death?"

"The Bodhisattva is in hell, but his heart is in heaven. He is not afraid of death, so why should I be afraid?"

Dizang looked at him for a long while, then burst into laughter, laughing so hard that tears came out.

Why do the Emperor of Heaven and others think that those who ascended from the lower world are chess players?

Or from the perspective of Tiandao, the protagonist is the chess eye.

Because people in this world will not say these things, only the time traveler protagonist can. This is the advantage of time travelers in most novels. Even if Chu Tiange knows nothing about Buddhism, he can think of enough and make a correct choice by listening to Dizang's words.

Dizang laughed, his voice gradually subsided, and then he transmitted again: "You used the transformation of the Heavenly Palace. The Emperor of Heaven asked you to find the Western Emperor's Mausoleum. I won't expose you. You'd better go back. After all, we are not on the same path."

Chu Tiange said: "Although I came here on the orders of the Emperor of Heaven, I am not here for the Emperor of Heaven."

"Oh?" Dizang smiled and said, "Are you really looking for the Western Paradise?"

Chu Tiange said seriously: "Why not? There is an old monk named Dabei in the lower world who said that Buddha is not in his form, and even less in his name. He is the Buddha of heaven, but not necessarily the Buddha in my heart. Isn't it the same as what the Bodhisattva just said about being in the heart?"

Dizang asked, “Huh?”

Chu Tiange added: "He also said that if the Way of Heaven can save the world, I will be in the Buddha's kingdom. Does it match the Bodhisattva?"

Dizang was delighted and asked, "Where is this great man?"

Chu Tiange said: "I don't know when he will ascend, but I guess it will be in the near future."

At this moment, the bridge between heaven and earth opened up, and Dabei broke through the boundary and ascended.

Dizang turned his head to the east and stared for a long time. No one knew what he saw. Suddenly he smiled and said, "You just said that the way of heaven can save the world."

Chu Tiange said "hmm" cautiously and didn't say much.

Dizang seemed to see his concerns and thought it was very interesting.

This person is fearless, disrespectful to the Emperor of Heaven, slandering the Buddha, and challenging Ksitigarbha in the Buddhist kingdom. He is not afraid of being exposed...but he is very secretive about matters concerning the Way of Heaven.

Dizang seemed to see a pair of eyes in the sky, looking down at him.

All life is like a chess piece, all is in your eyes.

Dizang sighed and said, "Whether the words of the great virtue you said are true or false, just based on the fact that you can say these two sentences... just follow me."

Chu Tiange breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the mission was half completed.
