Chapter 105: A Buddhist Friend and a Half-Teacher



The former Medicine Buddha, now an old monk, clasped his hands together and chanted wonderful sutras.

So everyone listened quietly.

The passage is not long.

It can be said that this was just the point of view raised by the young Taoist when he was discussing Taoism with him.

Re-enact the Four Noble Truths.

Then he sighed, gave a few words to the Bodhisattva Moonlight, and finally said:

"After I leave, there will be a great catastrophe. Among the thirteen Buddhist lineages, there will be people who are obsessed with killing others, there will be people who are greedy, angry, and ignorant for the sake of Buddhism, and there will be people who enter various states of suffering."

"At that time, there will be disputes among Buddhists."

"If you can resolve the disaster, you should walk in the world and never let others take advantage of you or deceive you."

“You shall not commit murder.”

"Do not be lustful, do not be greedy or steal."

"I hope all my disciples will practice all good and avoid all evil."

The old monk was already on his deathbed. He only said the simplest blessings and hopes. Finally, he held the hand of Moonlight Bodhisattva and said:

"My disciples, when you see the Supreme Xuanwei Zhenren, you should put your hands together with your five fingers pointing upwards."

"Subdue the arrogant mind."

“When you see a good person, you should emulate him.”

"We should repent and eliminate our karma."

"Never appear to be respectful but actually harbor arrogance or pretend to be dignified in order to gain reputation for your practice."

"Do the disciples know?"

But in the Yuqing Thunder Palace, Old Ox was chatting idly with the Three-Five Fire Spirit Generals about the glorious past, while waiting for a batch of evildoers to use their thunder and fire to temper the many spiritual materials they brought. However, after waiting for such a long time, even several of the evildoers vomited from exhaustion, but the materials remained in the same state as before. Even the Three-Five Fire Spirit Generals, who had always had a good relationship with Old Ox, could no longer sit still.

"I say, Brother Niu, what exactly are these materials you brought here?"

"My Huo Dou is an ancient species. It feeds on thunder and lightning. It eats the most masculine and masculine power. All the flames in the world are its food."

"But now even Huo Dou is tired and vomited."

"Why haven't your materials changed at all?"

General Sanwu of Fire Spirit was holding his wine glass, full of doubts.

The old ox laughed out loud.

He drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, then put his arm around General Lei's shoulder and replied with a smile: "Didn't I already say that?"

"Just some ordinary things."

"It's just that one of my juniors raised a bird, and I got him some things to cultivate his vitality, that's all."

"That's all?"

"nature."

The old ox has a simple and honest face, which makes people trust him at first sight.

So the Three-Five Fire Spirit General simply said, "That's probably because these evildoers are a little lazy and slacking off."

"Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay. I can ignore them if I'm lazy for a while. I forgive them, Old Cow."

"Besides, I have plenty of time. It's just right for me to have a few more drinks with you, brother. Come on, I'll fill your glass, fill it up!" Old Huangniu laughed and poured him wine. The evil spirits behind him were working hard to temper the wine, with thunder and fire rolling, but the effect was quite weak. It was as it should be. Old Huangniu paid a huge price to get these materials.

One by one, the so-called immunity to water and fire, invulnerability to swords and guns is just common.

Rolling in the magma is like taking a bath.

Even if the ball of lightning and fire rolled on the fur, it would only make it more dazzling.

If these materials had not been taken down and their spirituality had not been restrained, the thunder and fire of the Huo Dou would not be able to temper and melt them at all, but would only make them more vivid. However, this old ox was determined to get the job done with a pot of wine today, so he just ignored the poor bastard who was so tired that he was about to vomit, and just smiled and urged the Lei General next to him to drink.

Half a day had passed like this.

The old ox also drank to his heart's content, and seeing that those things had been tempered almost to the point of completion, he patted the shoulder of General Sanwu Huoling and was about to say goodbye when he suddenly saw on one side, there was a faint flow of boundless lapis lazuli Buddha light, which then disappeared and collapsed. The old ox was startled, and then he saw from afar that the two brothers, Qianliyan and Shunfenger, the gods from heaven, were coming over on clouds and mist, and were talking to each other.

The old ox threw down the wine jug, took a few steps, and flew directly in front of the two divine generals.

He was of such a large stature that he could almost encompass both of them.

Hold the two with one arm.

He laughed and said, "Isn't this the clairvoyance and the hearing?"

"It's rare to see you guys coming down from the High Heaven Palace. Where are you going in such a hurry today?"

"Come, come, I have some good wine and delicious food!"

"Drink at least one pot."

"Just drink a pot, just a pot!"

The two gods wanted to struggle.

But unfortunately, they are not the type who are good at fighting.

And this old ox, although it seems that he is just an ox that has achieved enlightenment and is not a big deal, he is indeed extraordinary. He was once a king in the Demon Country, and he also paid homage to the Emperor of Purple Star. He has listened to the Dharma under the Lingshan Mountain and is famous among the Seven Stars of Black Tortoise. He is extremely powerful, experienced in fighting and his moves are extremely dirty. With this grab, his fingers directly locked a point on the shoulders of the two gods, preventing them from struggling.

He had no choice but to give in, and was half pulled and half embraced by the old ox, and they started drinking together.

After drinking a little spirit wine, the old ox started talking. He said with a smile, "I just saw a bright light shining from the west, and then I saw the two brothers coming. Did something happen?"

The Clairvoyant burped and said, "Brother Niu, you really like to hear these strange stories."

The old ox scratched his head and acted simple-minded, only smiling and saying, "I am old, but there is nothing good about it. Being a star official in the sky is a good thing, but it is a bit lonely. It is not as refreshing as fighting and drinking in the demon tribe's territory. I just want to listen to some fun to relieve my boredom."

The two generals laughed and said, "That's right. We should tell Brother Niu about this."

"It's in the Eastern Buddhist country, the Pure Land of Lapis Lazuli. For some unknown reason, a Buddha fell."

"Originally, there were cities, pavilions and towers that surrounded the world for billions of miles, proving the boundless meaning of the Buddha's teachings. But for some unknown reason, it suddenly broke apart in the middle, leaving only countless fragments of light, like broken pieces of glass, scattered all over the world, and no one knew where they ended up."

"Later, lotus flowers were everywhere on the ground. The Medicine Master Vaidurya Light Tathagata preached before his passing."

"The sky is full of falling flowers and the ground is full of golden lotuses."

"And now this head of the Eastern Buddhist country is about to be closed."

The old yellow ox was stunned and said, "The Pure Lapis Lazuli World Buddha Kingdom is broken?"

The gods said, "Yes."

The old ox asked, "Do you know the reason?"

Qianliyan took a sip of wine and sighed, "I dare not look."

Shunfenger smiled bitterly: "I dare not listen."

"The rest of our magical powers are ordinary, except for our sharp spiritual powers. One of us can see the smallest flowers blooming in the Three Thousand Worlds, and the other can hear the subtlest sounds. But our spiritual powers are strong enough. When I wanted to spy on them before, my spiritual power almost jumped out. I can only know that if I listen, it may not just be the Buddha Kingdom that will be cut off."

When he mentioned this matter, he still looked frightened.

The Clairvoyant next to him said the same thing, "If I take one look, I'm afraid my eyes will be ruined."

The old ox murmured, "Is that so?"

"That old monk also died."

He was holding the wine glass, seeming melancholy. The three gods looked at each other without saying a word. Suddenly, the yellow ox seemed to have thought of something strange. He stood up abruptly, flicked his sleeves, collected the materials that had been tempered with the thunder and fire of the Huo Dou, and then hurriedly bowed, stepped out of the Thunder Palace, and then staggered a few steps, riding the clouds and mist, and went towards the Pure Lapis Lazuli Buddhist Kingdom.

General Sanwu Huoling couldn't help but sigh: "After all, they are sentient beings."

"That monk converted him."

"But no matter what, I have been with him for quite some time. Even if it's Brother Niu, even if I hate him, I still feel a little sad, right?"

"That's right."

"Since we are not plants or trees, who can be heartless?"

But I saw that the old ox was running wildly all the way, and even felt that its speed was not enough. It shook its body and turned into its true form, a good ox, thousands of feet tall, running wildly, riding the wind and flying in the air, with the energy of stars flowing around its body, as if it was trying its best to speed up, and its eyes were red.

"It's a disaster, it's a disaster!"

"That bald head is gone?!"

"Damn it! It was chopped into pieces by the sword, and then the Buddhist kingdom was sealed off. My goodness, how many treasures must have been scattered! How many treasures must have been scattered!"

“Waste, waste!”

The old cow’s eyes are red!

Rise up with courage, and step on the dust with all four hooves.

With his nose slightly opened, he blew out two streams of white smoke thousands of feet long.

"Search the house, search the house!"

"Fuck! Old Cow, why don't I have a pair of wings? Fly faster!"

"With the old monk not here, Moonlight Bianzhao can only fight me to a draw at most. It would be a good idea to take advantage of the old monk's absence and quickly destroy his hometown of the Glass Buddha Kingdom!"

"Then add two and one to make five, and share it with Xiao Yunqin and Wuhuo!"

"Loyalty comes first when traveling in the martial arts world. Everyone who sees it will get a share!"

The old ox was covered in starlight and had a bandit-like look on his face as he rushed away. Behind him, Qianliyan and Shunfenger saw clearly what the old man said and looked like. They were drinking and laughed uncontrollably. They choked and coughed violently, but they still couldn't stop laughing helplessly. They looked at each other and sighed:

"Ha, what a yellow bull!"

"It still looks like the big demon it was back then."

General Sanwu Huoling was helpless and said with a smile:

"But speaking of which, you two came to the Lei Mansion from outside, is there something important?"

Thousand-Li Eyes and Wind-Ears both restrained their expressions, looked at each other, and said, "Something happened in the Lei Mansion."

"At this time, someone broke the 3,600-year-old formation, and evil spirits flowed and plague spread. But today, in the vast area of ​​Zhongzhou, someone cast a spell to create rain and fog, breaking the scattered evil spirits..."

"The person who did this seems to have something from the [Northern Emperor]."

"So the Doubu, Leibu, and Beiji Exorcism Institute noticed it."

"And the thing that person was holding had the [Northern Emperor's aura], but it didn't belong to the Thunder Department or the Fighting Department. It seems that it was done by a member of the [Northern Exorcism Institute] who was away. But I'm very confused. The Northern Exorcism Institute itself doesn't know when a character who can make clouds and rain appear with a thought appeared, so they asked us to go and see."

"So you guys are going?"

"No, I haven't. I just came to shirk this responsibility."

Qianliyan and Shunfenger looked at each other, feeling melancholy, and then smiled bitterly and sighed:

“I don’t dare to look.”

"I don't dare to listen."

The Three-Five Fire Spirit Generals were so shocked that they were speechless.

However, the good scalper, because he was worried about money and eager to pick up a bargain, went straight to the Pure Land of Buddha. The scalper was originally known for his strength and endurance. He was good at wearing heavy armor, holding an extremely heavy and domineering axe, and wielding it to fight. Speed ​​was not his strong point, but today he really exerted unprecedented potential and was one third faster than before.

He was sweating profusely, but was still half a step late.

When I looked up, I saw that the Pure Lapis Lazuli Buddhist Kingdom had been closed. Endless light was flowing, but it was isolated from the outside world and I could not go in even a step further.

The old ox groaned continuously, but it was more painful than anything else in the world.

"Ah, how come this is just one step away?!"

"Bald guy, why don't you hold on for a few more breaths?"

Suddenly, a voice was heard: "Our Buddha has calculated the time, and the star official has indeed come here."

The old ox raised his head and saw a lotus platform rotating in front of the Buddha's kingdom. A man was standing on the lotus platform. His skin was very white and he was wearing a scarlet Buddhist robe with a ribbon. His left hand was a fist at his waist and his right hand was holding a lotus with a half-moon on it. His posture and expression were very peaceful and at ease. In front of this Buddha's kingdom, he exuded an aura that surpassed that of a great bodhisattva and was close to that of the Buddha.

Huang Niu frowned and said, "Yue Jing! Is it you?"

"Are you here to wait for me, Old Cow?"

"Where is Medicine Master Vaidurya Light Tathagata?"

The moonlight shone through his hands, and he made the Buddha seal. He lowered his eyes and said with compassion, "My Buddha is gone."

The old ox was silent for a long time, then sighed and said, "Did he really pass away?"

"yes."

"After the Buddha had delivered his last wonderful dharma, he passed away and entered the reincarnation cycle."

Huang Niu didn't know what he was thinking. The past was too complicated. He had seen the old monk go from a bodhisattva to a Buddha, and he had also seen him gradually become paranoid. He had been annoyed by him for no reason, and he had eaten lotus seeds from countless lotus ponds. But after so many past events, he only had one word left: "So that's it."

So the two thousand years of grudges ended just like this.

The old ox's body shook and turned into its original human form, wearing star official armor, brocade battle robe, one hand holding a sword, and a jade pendant hanging down.

With messy black hair and wide eyes, he saw the Moonlight Shining on the Bodhisattva and could not help but scold:

"Buddhism says that all things are born, exist, decay and disappear, and he cannot escape it either."

"You can't escape!"

"I can't escape either!"

"Causes arise and perish, and it should be just like this."

"If he doesn't want to die in his current state, I think no one can make him reincarnate. He can achieve nirvana, which means he has realized it. This is not nirvana, nor is it extinction. It should be called nirvana, which is a great thing. Yue Jing, you have been by his side for thousands of years, but you can't even understand this. How ridiculous!"

"Why not give me his robe and bowl relics?"

"You can even sell it and get some money so you can have a drink in front of his grave!"

"It can be considered that our meeting in this life is worthwhile."

Bodhisattva Moonlight was helpless, and was finally subdued by the Buddha nature of this old ox. In the blink of an eye, this fellow showed this look, so he said:

"But the Buddha did leave a message for the star official."

He took out an object from his sleeve, and the object turned into light and disappeared under the support of Buddha's light. The old ox grabbed it, without any hesitation. He just took a look at it and could not help but cursed the old baldy three times.

There is a line of text written on it -

[When you come, you have nothing. When you leave, you have nothing.]

[If you want my legacy, an old bald head]

"You old baldy!!!"

"You're here to tease Old Cow at the last minute, you stinky ***!"

The old ox was furious at first and cursed loudly, but finally he got tired and started laughing.

"He must have realized it."

"I can't do it, but I can vaguely see it."

"It's just that this old bald head of his is not cool. It's for me. The bald head of Medicine Master Liuliguang Tathagata, if placed in the Demon Country, it would be something that even the Demon King would be shocked. Maybe with this, I can be given a position as a Great Sage."

The old ox kept mumbling about money, but he refused to give up. He asked, "What else did he say?"

The Bodhisattva of Moonlight put his hands together and replied:

"The teacher has one last instruction, but there is something I can't do."

"Niu Xingguan, you have a wide network of contacts. I want to ask you about the whereabouts of a person."

Lao Niu waved his hand and said proudly, "Ask someone? Who?"

Bodhisattva Moonlight Illuminating said slowly:

"He is a little friend, a close friend of mine, the Buddha, a fellow practitioner of Medicine Master Vaiduryaprabha Tathagata, and also a teacher of the Tathagata."

"It is also the one who points out the Buddha's nirvana."

His expression gradually became respectful and solemn.

Finally, he exhaled, put his hands together, leaned forward slightly to show respect, and asked:

"Do you know [Taishang Xuanwei Zhenren]?"

Lao Niu’s face froze.

ha???

who?!!
