The phoenix has come to the world, and is singing here. This phoenix is not a god from heaven, but a pure and spiritual bird between heaven and earth. It will not drink anything but sweet springs and will not eat anything but fruits. It is extremely picky and noble. But now they are flying in pairs, circling in the sky, so clear and bright. Those who are familiar with exotic animals like the phoenix already know that something strange must be happening here.
If it is not a treasure, then it is a great person.
Although the old land god's cultivation was ordinary and his Taoism was not high, at least he had lived here for such a long time and he had some vision. He was dumbfounded and pointed over there with his crutches. He was trembling and speechless. The young Taoist priest chanted a spell to calm the old land god down.
The old god of the land almost couldn't catch his breath. He rolled his eyes and passed out. After finally catching his breath, he pointed to the sky over there and stammered, "Phoenix, Phoenix!"
"Emperor, did you see that? Phoenix!"
"Um."
Qi Wuhuo nodded.
The path of the demon Qing Jingwei to the great level was cut off, and the way for the Demon Emperor to break through the great level and become a lord was cut off. The Lord of All Spirits turned into a descendant of the Queen Wa, and Gou Chen proclaimed himself, and the Human Emperor was deposed by Qi Wuhuo. All the human fortune that had been suppressed for who knows how many years was returned to the world, so the fortune was at its peak. The catastrophe of the six realms has existed since ancient times, and its ups and downs are inevitable. In addition, the Emperor Wa was revived, and the Emperor Xi escaped.
If we say that this moment is the most prosperous moment for the entire human race since its birth several eons ago, then there is no problem. In such an era, naturally the heroes of the world are as brilliant and magnificent as the stars in the sky. It is the luck that promotes their birth, but it is also their birth that pushes the coming prosperity to an even more extreme future.
The birth of such a person is like a precious treasure, and I am afraid that many eyes will notice it.
"Walk."
Qi Wuhuo said, and his aura swept over and grabbed the Earth God, and in an instant he went very far away.
…
It is said that the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara of the South China Sea brought out the unfortunate golden-haired tiger that was blown thousands of miles away by a gust of wind from the Bodhisattva Lingji. The two Bodhisattvas said goodbye to each other. The Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara of the South China Sea was supposed to go to the capital, even though he encountered setbacks in his search for the Medicine Master Vaidurya Light Tathagata in the capital, he should have turned back for a short time and went to his own temple, Mount Putuo of the South China Sea.
However, Guanyin Bodhisattva only placed his own novice monk in the South China Sea and asked him to take good care of the golden-haired tiger.
Immediately, he stepped on the golden auspicious clouds, crossed the infinitely distant places, practiced many mysterious methods, and passed through layer after layer of Buddhist kingdoms. It seemed that a long time had passed, but it also seemed to be only a thought and a moment. The wonderful flow of time was the supreme Buddhist Dharma, and he went to the treasure land of Buddhism.
But all he saw were floating clouds, thousands of auspicious auras, countless precious lotus ponds, and indescribable beauty.
There are endless giant trees and the sea of clouds rising and rolling like thousands of miles of mountains.
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva stepped on the golden lotus and went to look for the Bodhi tree. Because of the advice of the Jinzhou Taoist Qi Wuhuo, he had a trace of doubt about the unstoppable actions of the Buddhas. This doubt arose because he had self-awareness and had not completely superstitiously worshipped the images of the Buddhas. However, he also respected the vastness of Buddhism and wanted to find evidence to refute the Taoist.
How could the Seventeen Buddhas suppress the Bodhi tree and plan to use the reincarnation of Medicine Buddha?
Absolutely not possible.
If it were an ordinary Bodhisattva, he would not have the qualifications to pay homage to the Bodhi tree. However, among all the Bodhisattvas, Guanyin is qualified to achieve the foundation of a Mahayana Buddha. He was also chosen by the Medicine Buddha of the Eastern Buddhist Kingdom as the first in future achievements. The dragon and elephant Bodhisattvas and the Arhats did not stop him and allowed him to enter.
An arhat on one side asked, "Bodhisattva, do you want to go and see the Bodhi tree?"
Guanyin replied, "Yes, I will leave soon to go to the capital of the Middle Earth in the mortal world to practice with the Buddhas and discuss the Dao together. When I set out, I was worried, so I came to this ancestral land of the Buddha. I want to pay homage to the Bodhi tree. Only under this tree can I find peace."
"I see."
"My Buddha's Dharma is vast and boundless. It can do all kinds of things and cannot do all kinds of things. Bodhisattva, please be at ease. We will surely defeat the enemy and win the victory."
"The Buddhas have said that in this era, our Buddhism will flourish."
After praying a few words, he made way for the left and right. Infinite Buddha's light was flowing, and golden characters were changing one after another, appearing and disappearing one after another. Flowers were falling from the sky, and golden lotuses were emerging from the ground. A door opened in front of him, and Avalokitesvara stepped on the golden lotus to enter. At this moment, he was still quite nervous, but after stepping in, he saw the Bodhi tree as usual.
The Buddha's light was clear and bright, surrounding this precious Bodhi tree. Apart from that, there was nothing different at all.
"I see... It seems that I have been bewitched by that Taoist Priest Qi Wuhuo?"
“Isn’t this precious Bodhi tree of Buddhism the same as always, without any difference?” Guanyin Bodhisattva looked around, then smiled and sighed, “Oh… why didn’t I see the little fellow brought by Senior Randeng today, who [will definitely pick the Bodhi seeds and send them to Aqi]?”
"The last time I saw him, he was still mumbling here. I felt that even the Bodhi tree would recognize that Aqi."
Guanyin Bodhisattva calmed his mind, clasped his hands together, looked gentle and compassionate, and sat cross-legged in front of the Bodhi tree.
With a peaceful mind, he murmured:
"Namo, the name of the perfect enlightenment, the name of freedom, the Avalokitesvara Tathagata; make great vows, make great vows, and save all the people in the world of Jambudvīpa."
"Namo, Avalokitesvara, who resides in the netherworld of Saha; I pray to save the suffering by hearing their cries. If a sick person lies in bed, he will naturally regain health."
The voice becomes low, and gradually becomes selfless, gradually approaching the state of no self and no others, no form, sound, smell, taste, or touch.
The Buddha's light was gentle all over his body, but at this moment, as if because of the contact with the young Taoist, Guanyin suddenly heard gusts of wind. The wind was gentle, like trees passing through the forest. With his Buddhist practice, once he meditated, his mind would be calm and he would let go of many external factors. But at this moment, the sound of the breeze was as continuous as thunder, and like wind blowing through the heart, causing countless ripples.
This Bodhisattva, who is famous for his foundation and character, rarely sits still.
She endured it many times but finally couldn't help it and slowly opened her eyes, then her pupils shrank. The Buddhist treasure tree in front of her, or the Bodhi treasure tree of the [Founder of Buddhism] was still growing there, and the Buddha's light around it was still endless and clear, but at this moment in Guanyin's eyes, the clear Buddha's light gathered together, but it was like a series of chains.
These chains bound the branches and roots of the Bodhi tree, and also bound the Bodhi seeds that gathered countless spiritual auras and were about to be born.
“This, this is…”
Guanyin suddenly remembered the first painting.
This Bodhi tree was supposed to grow between heaven and earth, enjoying the sunshine and rain, the wind and all living things. At first, those seekers who made the arduous journey, with haggard faces, yellow complexions, and bony bodies, came step by step, and it was the Bodhi tree that accepted them.
There were extremely high mountains, extremely deep abysses, and extremely rugged trees.
Under the Bodhi tree, a young monk looked at the light.
The Buddha ancestors humbly pleaded: "Buddha, we are cold, please give us clothes."
The Buddha smiled gently, took off his robe and gave it to others. Sixteen people scrambled to grab it, but only one person did not touch it.
Then the ancestors of the Buddha lineage put on Buddha-like clothes, their expressions gradually relaxed, and they said, "Buddha, we are thirsty, please give us water."
There were marks on the Buddha's wrists, and his knowledge and the great Dao fell like blood and light dust.
The ancestors of the Buddha lineage, the first group of beings who comprehended the Buddha's fate under the Bodhi tree, straightened their backs and spoke in a loud and confident voice:
"We are hungry and thirsty, please eat meat!"
So the Buddha gave up his physical body to save all people.
Guanyin was shocked and angry, and became furious.
Buddha gave his body to feed the tiger and cut his flesh to feed the eagle.
Who can say that a tiger eagle is just a tiger eagle and not a human?
boom!!!
This level of visualization faded away, the mountains and rivers were still there, there was a Bodhi tree at the foot of the mountain, and under the tree was a monk. The gentle monk turned around and looked at Guanyin with a smile. The ancestor of many Buddhist lineages had obtained the Dharma and the Buddha from him, as well as the supernatural powers and ideas to nourish themselves, and then they threw him aside and sat on the lotus platform themselves.
The mountain was very lonely. The gentle monk felt sorry for the people who wore clothes, ate "meat" and drank "blood". He never stayed here, nor did he comprehend the true meaning of loneliness and solitude. Instead, he carried the lotus platform and walked down the mountain step by step.
At the beginning, there was only one lamp to keep him company.
The lights will go out.
At the end, the mountain was still lonely, with only a cicada on a tree that was always chirping, never stopping, to keep him company.
When sentient beings climb to the top, they need to endure loneliness, but do they climb to the top for the scenery and loneliness, or to stand above more people?
All living beings climb to the top of the mountain to see the scenery.
It’s a pity that all the people only want to enjoy the scenery but are unwilling to endure the loneliness of improvement.
He asked curiously, "My disciple."
He looked at Guanyin, thought for a moment, and asked with a smile:
"Were you guided by the Ah Qi that Wonton mentioned, the one who is the best person and the best cook in the world?"
"Avalokitesvara Tathagata is the one who sees your voice and knows your coming."
"Or did you come here because you heard the suffering of the people in the world?"
"What do you want to achieve? Great saintly vows? Or great compassion?"
boom!!!
It seemed as if thunder had exploded, and Guanyin suddenly opened her eyes. This time she really opened her eyes, and not in the dazed state just now. She looked at the Bodhi tree in front of her under the endless and clear Buddha light. The spirit in the Bodhi tree seemed to still be echoing back. The Buddha had passed away, and what had happened just now was just the Buddha in the Bodhi tree's memory.
But Guanyin's heart was filled with endless sorrow.
He looked at the brilliant and magnificent Buddha light rising into the sky before him, and saw flowers falling from the ceiling and golden lotus emerging from the ground. It was so majestic and magnificent that he felt so sad in his heart that he almost burst into tears.
Bodhi tree, Buddhism.
This isn't the way to comprehend things.
He tried hard to suppress his sadness, and staggered to his feet. His hands were still trembling when he put them together. He bowed deeply before turning around and leaving this treasured and ancestral land of Buddhism. The Buddha's light was still clear behind him, and he could still hear the endless joy, praise, and chanting.
At this moment he already knew that what the Taoist said was absolutely true.
The past shown by the spirit in the previous picture was by no means that the Seventeen-Pulse Buddhas really ate meat and drank blood, but was just a figurative reference. They were greedy for the way and wanted to take advantage of the results. They wanted to gain benefits and status, but were unwilling to endure the true Buddhist practice, and the loneliness and solitude that lasted for a lifetime.
What they did was not to walk beside the Buddha like the disciples and those who came after them.
Instead, you received many bright and beautiful treasures bestowed by the Buddha, and then you were overjoyed. You wore the robes, and I made the lotus platform. It was a great joy. Under the Buddha's quiet, lonely, and even somewhat regretful gaze, you walked down the mountain step by step, but you never looked back to meet the Buddha's gaze.
and--
Aqi?!
The spirit of the Bodhi tree knew him?! In other words, the Buddha that was nurturing him knew him?! He knew the truth about the Bodhi tree, and the changes of the seventeen meridians of Buddhism, no, the sixteen meridians? He was also related to the Eastern Medicine Buddha, with great magical powers and boundless spiritual practice. Who was this person?!
Bodhi tree, Fangcun Mountain.
Now knowing this information, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva saw through it all and had two choices. One was to inform the many Buddhas present at present of this information. If so, he could also sit on the lotus platform. Otherwise, if everything was exposed, perhaps, Avalokitesvara would only be Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva in this life, and like Ksitigarbha, he could not become a Buddha.
The gentle-looking Bodhisattva did not hesitate.
He left here on auspicious clouds and went to the Eastern Pure Land of Buddha. He directly informed the current lord of the Pure Land of Buddha, Bodhisattva of Moonlight, about the reincarnation of Medicine Buddha and various possible hidden dangers. The Bodhisattva, who was raised by Medicine Buddha himself and taught Buddhism and supernatural powers, could not help but burst into tears when he heard the words, clasped his hands together, and kept thanking.
Guanyin Bodhisattva said gently: "It's fine, but you all need to act as quickly as possible, hide your divine movements, and protect Medicine Buddha. You don't need to interfere with the training of Medicine Buddha's reincarnation, but you need to be alert to the movements of the Buddhas' meridians."
The Bodhisattvas of the Moonlight and the Sunlight said, "Yes, we are grateful to Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. We know this."
"Immeasurable kindness, beyond words."
Guanyin Bodhisattva said: "It is not necessary to do so. I am just being instructed by someone."
The Bodhisattvas of Moonlight and Sunlight were surprised and asked quickly who it was.
Guanyin Bodhisattva was extremely curious and asked immediately:
"He is also an old friend of Medicine Master Vaidurya Light Tathagata Buddha, and he calls himself ''.
"Jinzhou Qi Wuhuo, I wonder if you two have any impression of him?"
When the name came out, Moonlight Bodhisattva's face turned pale, while Sunlight Bodhisattva clenched his hands, both with complicated expressions. Guanyin understood instantly and asked, "Do you two know who this person is?!"
It seemed that he was reluctant to mention this person, but after all, Guanyin Bodhisattva was the benefactor of the Eastern Pure Lapis Lazuli Buddha Country, so after a long silence, Moonlight Bodhisattva clasped his hands together and said: "Jinzhou Qi Wuhuo, it is exactly——"
"The one who caused my Medicine Buddha to attain nirvana."
"The name of his path is Tai Shang Xuan Wei!"
Tai Shang...Xuan Wei?
boom!!!
Guanyin Bodhisattva's expression slowly solidified.
The information that circulated in the heavens two months ago seemed to echo in his mind.
He has a long history with Medicine Master Liuli Guang Tathagata, knows the changes in Buddhism, has great magical powers, and has boundless spiritual practice...
Even the Bodhi tree knows of its existence!
Guanyin Bodhisattva couldn't help but be in a trance.
The figure of the young Taoist priest dressed in white, a blue Taoist robe, with his hair tied up with a wooden hairpin, and with a gentle, serene, and peaceful expression seemed to be right in front of him. He looked at him peacefully, which shook Guanyin Bodhisattva's heart slightly. Every deed and legend that the Taoist priest had done emerged in his mind like thunder, and became extremely heavy in an instant. It was as if he was just looking at himself peacefully.
It turned out to be him!
No wonder!
Guanyin Bodhisattva couldn't help but sigh in his heart, clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and suddenly felt that everything was natural.
If that Taoist was him, then what he did was only natural, and there was no need to doubt whether he could do it!
The Bodhisattvas of Sunlight and Moonlight looked at each other, as if they understood something, but still hesitated and said, "Looking at the appearance of Avalokitesvara, could it be that the one who protected the reincarnation of Medicine Buddha and also guided you is..."
They didn't say it.
But Guanyin Bodhisattva already knew what they meant, clasped his hands together, and sighed, "That's right."
"It is Taoist Priest Qi Wuhuo of Jinzhou."
"Taishang Xuanwei Zhenren."
"He is the Nine Heavens Traveler, assisting the Heavenly Gang North Pole."
"In the middle of the sky, the North Pole, slays the calamity and breaks the law."
"Zhenwu, Lingying!!"
The expressions of the two Buddha Bodhisattvas have slowly solidified.
…
But before that, the young Taoist priest had already left the village. With the guidance of the God of Land, he found the child who made the [Human Qi] restless before the sound of the Phoenix faded away.
