When sentient beings see the Buddha, they strip away the rules of Buddhism and spread the Dharma to the world.

This is to return to the original Buddhist attitude of "only Dharma" and "no sect". What the Taoist said in front of him made Jin Chan almost feel as if he was hallucinating. As he saw before him, there was a huge Bodhi tree with luxuriant branches and leaves, rising into the sky, infinitely wide and large, but the branches were growing branches all over the place.

The branches became more and more numerous, more and more complex and lush, and birds landed on them, causing the branches to droop.

There were poisonous snakes entwined on the tree trunks, causing the branches of the trees to wither, so people could not get close. However, the words of this Taoist were like swords, just like picking up a sword, chopping it down, scattering the flying birds, cutting off the poisonous snakes, and cutting off all the messy and chaotic branches and weeds, thus restoring the Bodhi tree to its original appearance.

And say——

How?!

Jin Chan was in a daze, and felt again the same way as when he was listening to the Buddhist teachings. He felt that what the Taoist said was a road that he had never traveled before. However, he felt that these words were too absurd and too unorthodox. He had been exposed to the teachings of the Buddhas for a long time, and his mind was shocked for a moment, and he refused to agree.

How can one become a Buddha when all the people are suffering? !

If you don’t practice cultivation and only have one thought in your mind, how can you become a Buddha?

No……

Without great wishes and great deeds, how can one achieve Buddhahood?

The Taoist in front had peaceful eyes. Qi Wuhuo at this time and in this state could not be sustained, but in this state, his realm was so high and his mind was so harmonious that it could be said to be his strongest so far and the most in line with the Tao. It even gave Jin Chan, who had a very high background, an indescribable sense of oppression, which made him want to refute but was speechless.

I couldn't even utter the word "Buddha".

And the Taoist seemed to use the Buddhist telepathy to understand what the golden cicada was thinking and thinking in his heart.

The Taoist pointed to the sky and said, "What you are talking about is a clay and stone sculpture, an ordinary temple, how can it compare to my temple?"

Jin Chan asked, "If you don't become a monk and just live in the ordinary world, where can you find a temple?"

"Of course there is."

“Where is the temple and what does it look like?”

The Taoist smiled and replied, "My temple is different from yours. It is made up of the heavens, the earth, and the mountains. It is made up of my body. It is made up of the worldly life, the daily life, the practice. It is made up of the purity of my heart, the Buddha, and the distracting thoughts in my heart, the devil."

"In this small space, there is the pure land of Buddha."

The Taoist paused, looked at the monk in front of him, thought for a moment, and said, "How about this, are you willing to join the Taoist sect and practice as well?"

ha?!

Struggling in his heart, Jin Chan raised his head, almost thinking that he had heard wrongly, and almost thinking that the Taoist in front of him was teasing him again, but when he saw the Taoist extending his hand, he saw that he really seemed to be joking and said: "Practicing Taoism and Buddhism are all in one mind. If you are willing, you can also enter my Fang Cun Mountain and practice for a while."

The Taoist looked at the frivolous monk in front of him and said, "There is no need to change your name. Just follow the rules and style of our Taoist sect and choose a new Taoist name. There are Taoist names like Xiaoyaozi and Changchunzi."

"You are the golden cicada."

"My Taoist name is Jin Chanzi."

"how?"

Golden cicada?

The Golden Cicada in front of the Buddha did not answer, but was silent for a long time, then suddenly laughed and said, "It seems that what the Great Emperor Zhenwu ** Demon did is no different from those seventeen veins. He just led people to practice in your sect. If this is a vast situation and the boundless world, is it possible that only your sect can be passed on?"

"The rest of the Dharma lineages will all be excluded and suppressed by you, and will not be able to continue?"

"If that's the case, isn't this so-called Hao** Dao Sect too overbearing?!"

"No, I have never excluded the true Dharma."

The Taoist's answer made the monk who was laughing wildly and retorting pause. Then he saw the Zhenwu ** demon stand up and stretch out his hand towards him, as if inviting him. Behind him was the heaven and earth, all things, and the vast world. He said: "The world has never excluded the true Dharma. It is better to say."

"You are also part of this world's destiny."

"Since it is the true Dharma, it can help people awaken. Just as hundreds of rivers flow into the sea, you are one of them."

The Golden Cicada in front of the Buddha suddenly felt an indescribable sense of grandeur. He suddenly recalled that he had listened to the Dharma in front of the Buddha and had seen many scriptures. Among them, there was a question recorded: There are two identical pagodas in the world, each of which has thirteen floors and is magnificent.

The top floor can hold one book, and with each additional floor, the number of books that can be accommodated increases tenfold. So, one of the pagodas would be filled with the many perfect principles taught by the Buddha. Every book stored on every floor would be the same, and they would all be the most perfect Buddhist scriptures, and there would be thirteen floors in total.

In another pagoda, there is only one volume of the Buddha's most perfect scriptures.

The rest are records of other Buddhist practitioners, and even records of ordinary people and common people on Buddhism and principles. So, judging from the most perfect scriptures, the one that contains all of them is undoubtedly the strongest. But if we talk about the value of these two pagodas -

Which pagoda is better for storing all the books on the thirteen floors?

Or is the pagoda that encompasses all the laws, intentions, and thoughts of the people more valuable?

Jin Chan seemed to understand.

"You want to..."

The Taoist was in harmony with the human world at this moment, his mind was clear, and he was in harmony with nature. He could almost sense the charm of the so-called Great Dao, so he said slowly: "The three religions, nine schools, and ten schools of thought."

"Buddhism should be one of them."

Jin Chan was very excited.

Gathering all Dharma veins in the human world? !

It is not about supporting a certain family or sect with the human world; but it is really about letting all rivers return to the sea and integrating all dharmas into the human world. Therefore, these hundreds of dharmas converge in the human world to bring about a great prosperity. Jin Chan could not help but imagine such a picture in his mind -

In this human world, different dharma lineages collide with each other, people's spirituality shines, and a brilliance never seen before bursts out. There is no doubt that this is not just a prosperous age for the human world.

The golden cicada in front of the Buddha suddenly stepped back a few steps and laughed loudly:

"Hahaha, good, good, good Taishang Xuanwei, good Zhenwu **demon, there seems to be yin and yang in your mouth, you are really eloquent, I am not as good as you, but what you said is nothing but falsehood, empty words, I don't believe that all living beings have Buddha's heart and Buddha nature!"

"I'll try it myself! I'll try it myself!"

"Empty mouth and white teeth speak, it is not the Dharma."

Jin Chan put his hands together, forcibly suppressing all the Buddha's arguments that the Taoist had said earlier, and then turned around, as if he was running away, but he didn't know whether he was running away from the Taoist behind him or the divine thoughts in his own heart. The Buddha's light flowed, and in just a moment it had rushed far away and disappeared.

Jin Chan, who was believed by the Western Paradise to have opened up a way for the Seventeen-Veined Buddha to continue in the human world, seemed to have suffered a great shock in his mind. Although his mind was strong enough to maintain himself, he no longer had any intention to do what he had promised to the Seventeen-Veined Buddha when he left the Western Paradise.

He wanted to try and verify the Dharma.

The Taoist never tried to stop him by force.

At the moment when Jin Chan was panicking and moving away quickly, the Taoist seemed to feel that some kind of destiny in the future had slightly deviated.

He did not care about these things. He just turned his back to the golden cicada whose heart was shaking with countless ripples, and walked towards Shenwu Jiuzhou. After walking for a while, he paused slightly, raised his head, and looked in the direction of Qiu Longguo. He saw that in that direction, above the sky, clouds were flowing, and there seemed to be a stream of clear air rushing towards the sky and spreading out in all directions.

A true Taoist practitioner passed away.

After death, they will return all their cultivation to heaven and earth to nurture all living beings.

Qi Wuhuo felt that his jade talisman was broken. He looked from afar and there seemed to be a Dharma eye gathered at his brow. He seemed to see Tian Yangzi's choice, the Taoist's decision, and the Taoist who had suddenly aged and calmly returned to the world from a distance of thousands of miles.

Qi Wuhuo felt sad about Tian Yangzi's ending, but he didn't feel it.

If you don’t do this, you won’t be able to enter the Supreme Gate.

He stood up and bowed slightly towards that side, thinking of the high-spirited Yu Yangzi he met during his youth and the journey of self-reflection, and his final determination. His expression was complicated, and in the end he just sighed, bowed deeply, and said gently:

"The Great Mysterious."

"Send Senior Brother Yu Yangzi back to the world of Ruins."

This salute is to respect his heart of Tao, to respect him for choosing a path and following it to the end.

This is to respect this with calmness.

Then the Taoist straightened his back, and sensing the disappearance of the senior brother, he turned around and walked on his own path step by step, without looking back, nor slowing down his pace due to sentimentality, but just muttered to himself:

"Everything is so hot."

"My Tao is prosperous day by day."

This was not the first time he recited this line from the Taoist Canon.

But this time, the feeling is completely different from the past.

Walk alone on the road, with a heart as hard as iron, and never look back.

When practicing Taoism, one will enter a catastrophe. One must be so determined in seeking the Tao that one will never turn back.

The Supreme lineage should be like this.

Qi Wuhuo was not in a hurry and walked slowly just now, but now he felt that there was no need to wait or hesitate, so with just one step, he appeared in front of the capital of Shenwu Kingdom.

The city ahead remains the same, yet different.

The boundless destiny of humanity rushed to the sky, scattering golden light. The Nine Cauldrons roared and vibrated continuously. There was also an extremely brilliant light on the nine stone tablets, which seemed to be in harmony with the excitement of the Qi in Qi Wuhuo's body.

The Taoist looked at the city and the formation.

I felt the changes that were about to come, but I became more calm.

Just smiled slightly.

Take a step forward.

Everything was dead silent.

The majestic destiny of humanity that was previously inhaling and exhaling into the sky, the roaring and shaking head of the Nine Cauldrons, and the brilliant light flowing on the nine stone tablets all stopped in an instant. After this pause, the voices of people in the world were still clear and lively, but there was also a sense of tranquility.

The Taoist walked barefoot step by step through the human world.

He walked in front of the Nine Cauldrons, like the prototype of the ritual completing the final step.

Sit cross-legged.

Eyes slightly closed.

So the previous dead silence continued until now, and only then did it usher in a "permitted" outburst.

Buzz!!!!

A majestic light shot up into the sky from the Nine Cauldrons, rushing towards all directions. The capital of the Shenwu Kingdom seemed to light up almost at this moment, with endless streams of light washing over it, and the entire human world was subtly undergoing slight changes.

If the past of the human world were like a long night.

Not seeing the light.

Now, starting from the capital of Shenwu State and radiating outward, the fortune of humanity in each city has been ignited, and even the gods of the earth, the city gods, and the ghost gods seem to be ignited. Streams of light soar into the sky, connected to each other, and looking down from the highest point, the world seems to have turned into a picture of endless prosperity.

The scroll is a ritual diagram, which seems to be created by nature and accommodates all things.

This ritual diagram is reflected in the huge soul that holds a scroll in one hand and a seal in the other.

The Taoist lowered his eyes and looked inward, and in his inner world, unexpectedly, such a ritual was faintly formed. For a moment, "he" was at an infinitely high place, looking down at the vast changes in the human world; and he was sitting in the human world, being a part of the vast changes in this human world.

But when he lowered his eyes and looked inward, this ritual map with the cities on earth as nodes and the roads and mountains and rivers as lines was clearly within his own body.

How wonderful!

Mysterious and profound, the door to all wonders!

Only now have I found my own path!

The Taoist sighed and said, "So that's how it is..."

“No wonder I can see the golden cicada. No wonder I can sense the changes in my destiny and can even take the initiative to decide whether to participate in it… Is this the state of being above the Great Rank? Simply being able to realize that I am in the torrent of destiny is already different from an ordinary Great Rank Emperor.”

To interfere with and influence the fate of the entire world in one's own way is to control.

Those who are detached from the outside world and no longer bound by anything are pure.

The Taoist felt the changes in his own human Qi, but this Qi was surging and combined with the prototype of the ritual, it could not be settled in an instant.

One more step.

Just a little bit.

Qi Wu sensed the instrument of humanity in the distance. He swept his sleeves, and in this mysterious sensation, a majestic divine will swept across this place, across the human world, and the instruments of humanity of Qiu Longguo that were collected together suddenly shone brightly.

In this ritual, and Qi Wuhuo, who was following this ritual for the first time, already had some means that were slightly different from his foundation of Taoism. Those instruments of humanity rose up in Qiulong Country, thousands of miles away, emitting endless light, and were melted in the void under the gaze of countless people.

Dispersed are the ambitions, betrayals, and bloodshed that have tainted the instrument of humanity over the past eight thousand years.

Leaving behind the pure humane Qi.

It turned into a tripod.

It is huge and ancient, and when it vibrates, there is a vast and ancient sound, and it whistles several times before falling down with a loud bang.

Qiu Longguo's own humanitarian luck was suppressed here and left on the human beings in this area. The huge Qiu Long Ding roared, and the humanitarian luck turned into light, rising into the sky, covering the entire territory of Qiu Longguo, and then spread outwards, naturally merging with the humanitarian luck of Shenwu Kingdom.

The incarnation of Queen Nuwa who was with Fuxi suddenly showed ripples.

The flow of human destiny.

The ritual has been determined!

Within Qi Wuhuo's body, the [human Qi] breaks through the barrier!

Keep moving forward.

Breakthrough, breakthrough!
