Chapter 45: The Taoist Riding a Green Bull into the World



While writing these words, the King of Qin subconsciously turned his head and took a look inside the mansion - in order to conquer the demon world two months ago, in order to allow the King of Qin and Li Zhai to let go and attack the army under the command of the Demon King at that time, his sister independently supported the court, faced the officials and the emperor, and solved the problems in the rear on her own.

Even when facing many noble families and an angry emperor, Qiong Yu did not show any weakness and was never weaker than anyone.

Until finally she suddenly collapsed from poisoning.

This led to Li Zhai having to return to the capital.

At the beginning, Qin Wang Li Weifeng thought that it was the emperor who did it. After he returned to the capital, he investigated in this direction for several times and soon got a lot of evidence. It could be said that the emperor had too many problems and definitely intended to do something to Qiong Yu, but this woman was very smart and easily solved these problems.

When Qiong Yu recovered and woke up, she looked at the fallen leaves and the cool sunlight outside for a long time before she said:

"It was done by the prince."

Crown Prince Li Hui.

He once joined the King of Qin and the leading military strategist Li Zhai in rebelling against the current emperor.

However, the King of Qin never thought that it would be his fourth brother who would harm his sister.

Li Zhai seemed to have guessed this possibility from the beginning, and never returned to Beijing, but only stayed at the border.

The King of Qin sighed. It was already late autumn and winter was coming soon. When winter came, snow would fall and the whole capital would be covered with a layer of white. Leaves would fall all over the ground and the water in the jars in the courtyard would freeze. Not seeing the current situation, he hesitated and followed his sister's words. He did not mention that she had been poisoned, but just described the general situation in more detail.

The emperor's change occurred more than a month ago.

A dozen foreign monks came from the west, bringing with them various instruments and scriptures. The emperor opened up a place for them to build a temple. Because the horses carrying the instruments and scriptures were all pure white, the temple was named the White Horse Temple. The next day, when the emperor was in court, the foreign monks spoke in the court:

"In the past, it was said that there were thirty-three realms in heaven and six realms, but the human world only mentioned three realms."

"But the world is so big, there shouldn't be just three realms, there should be four realms."

Asked what the four realms are.

He said: "Those who practice Taoism ascend to the immortal realm; those who are evil-doers are in another realm; the mortal world is in another realm, and the Western Paradise is in another realm."

"People who cultivate the Tao respect heaven and earth, and their hearts are clear and peaceful; all the demons and spirits are clumsy and passionate, and do not do much harm; but the world of the world is complicated, and people have many desires, are greedy and take pleasure in misfortune, and kill and fight a lot. It is the so-called vicious field of words and arguments, and the sea of ​​right and wrong."

"No immortality!"

The emperor then bowed and personally poured tea for him and asked him questions.

This happens three times.

The monk just raised one hand in front of his chest and said: "Those who practice Taoism fear disasters, and those who live in the world only want to kill. The world is chaotic and turbid. Only in my Western Paradise, the Buddha's land, there is no greed or killing. People cultivate their energy and spirit. Although there is no supreme truth, everyone can [live a long life]. My Buddha's land now has the Three Canons of Scriptures, which can persuade people to do good."

The emperor asked again what the true Tripitaka was.

He replied, "I have a collection of Dharmas that discuss heaven; a collection of treatises that discuss earth; and a collection of sutras that save ghosts. The three collections total thirty-five volumes, or 15,144 volumes. They are the scriptures for cultivating the truth and the door to righteousness and goodness."

"It encompasses all great ways and is the ancestor of all paths."

"The root of all things!"

"It can break all disasters!"

"It can solve all doubts!"

“It can accomplish everything!”

The King of Qin recalled the scene of that day and recorded it as non-emotionally as possible. In the last words he wrote, there was still great anger. He said: "I only know that what he said was like this, but the emperor was already obsessed with it and couldn't extricate himself. He wanted to build a Buddhist temple in the palace and give those dozen foreign monks rewards, honor them as guests of honor, and call them national teachers."

"If the young people in our country want to fast for a year in the temple, it is a ritual."

"After Mr. Zhi helped the country, he retired to seclusion. I shouldn't have bothered him so much, but I was still irritated. Looking around, everyone is greedy for power and wants to cling to this monk to consolidate their authority. There was even a high-ranking official who wanted to shave his head, but the monk refused to accept him. Others laughed at him, so he said that his scalp itched, so he shaved his head."

"That's ridiculous!"

"It's been a long time since I last sent you a letter. I'm so anxious that I don't know what to say."

"I just wish you good health, sir."

In this mountain, the magic in front of Qi Wuhuo slowly dissipated.

His eyes were slightly cold, and the seal of the Human Emperor hanging on his waist lit up again. In fact, he roughly knew the choice of the Human Emperor now, but it was because he joined forces with the demon clan, but found that the demon king of the demon clan was dead; and joined forces with Emperor Gou Chen and the Four Hidden Stars of the Dou Department, the Four Hidden Stars fell, and Gou Chen, one of the Four Imperial Stars, proclaimed himself.

There is also Qi Wuhuo, a Taoist disciple, who holds a long sword, hidden in the world of mortals, and points at it from afar with the tip of his sword.

He himself was greedy for immortality and authority, but now he had no one to rely on and no direction to go. He was also at odds with Taoism and the Heavenly Court. He was frightened and confused, and with fear in his heart, he naturally contacted the Buddhist sect that came from afar. Under this kind of worry, oppression and fear, coupled with his desire for immortality, it was not surprising that he did anything.

At this point, he could no longer turn back.

Qi Wuhuo's heart moved slightly, and he took the letter of the method of round light manifestation, and looked at the three Taoists. The old man looked at his disciples, smiled helplessly, and said: "It is your destiny, it is your destiny."

Neither the Great Lord of Shangqing nor the Great Lord of Yuqing said anything.

Only the Supreme One stroked his beard and sighed, "You broke the catastrophe as a human, and suppressed the killing with killing. Now the Lord of All Spirits is the bloodline of Queen Nuwa. Taiyi has been suppressed, and there is a possibility that Fuxi Daoist's successor will be revived. Now, judging from the situation, in the future, the next catastrophe will probably be the rise of the human race."

"When it is about to rise, there will be a great catastrophe, and there will naturally be a great opportunity. The 17 Buddhist sects have been preaching and discussing the Dharma around the Bodhi tree for every kalpa, and they have separated and reunited several times. And because Medicine Master Lapis Lazuli Light Tathagata Buddha suddenly passed away, the balance of the 17 Buddhist sects was immediately broken."

"In the past, when the eight branches of Buddhism were each different, Medicine Buddha recognized which branch and which branch could suppress the other. However, Medicine Buddha always remained calm, neutral, and impartial. Therefore, although Buddhism had its ups and downs, it was generally in a strange balance in order to win the support of Medicine Buddha."

"Now that the Medicine Master has died, the balance has been broken immediately."

"Now each of them has eight veins, calling themselves the Eight Heavenly Dragons and the Eight Vajra. Their strengths are similar, and they are unwilling to submit to each other. There are already many disputes. There are also signs that humanity will flourish, but the human race has not yet been unified. This is a great fortune and great merit. In my opinion, the Buddhist sect wants to use the human race as a tree to bear the fruits of others."

"Assist the human race to flourish. When the luck is at its peak, let the bodhi seed produced by the bodhi tree be reincarnated as a prince of the human race."

"Then, after he had experienced many kinds of prosperity and splendor, he was led to become a Buddha and was named Buddha."

"When a person's luck is low, he will never be able to recover."

Qi Wuhuo stretched out his hand and pressed the seal on his waist.

This is the collection and preservation of my senior brother's Xuanzhen Dao, as well as the unfinished secret scrolls of Qiyun Dao.

But now...it seems that I can no longer go with my teacher to practice.

If we talk about cause and effect.

The death of Medicine Buddha, who maintained the balance of Buddhism, led to what happened more than a month ago; and the death of Medicine Buddha was related to the young Taoist himself. As for this, what happened more than a month ago eventually affected Qi Wuhuo himself like ripples.

This is the cause and effect in the world.

Shangqing Daojun looked at the Taoist boy who was standing upright, as if he had guessed something, but he didn't say anything after all. He sighed and said with a smile: "So that's how it is. If you hadn't overcome the calamity, you and I wouldn't have the relationship of master and disciple. And it is precisely because you have overcome the calamity that these continuous calamities appear, and the relationship between you and me as master and disciple cannot be completed immediately. This is the so-called [quantity], which can be called calamity."

"What can I do? What can I do?"

Yu Dagong, the Buddha country wants to pick the splendor of the human world's luck;

Personally, Qi Wuhuo is a human being after all.

Yu En, who has grown up in the human world for more than ten years, has people like the Human Emperor, and there are also people like Mr. Master.

As for enemies, the biggest thief today has not yet been killed.

As for the cause, what led to today's events was, after all, the nirvana of Medicine Buddha.

Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun glanced at the young Taoist, seeming to have regrets, but also not surprised. He swept his whisk and said lightly: "What a pity, what a pity, your earthly ties are not over yet, and you are still in the mundane world. You still cannot return to the outer world of Daluo Heaven."

"We have been here for three months now, so let's lay a solid foundation for you so that you won't be attacked by Taiyi."

"Within sixty years, I will end my human affairs and ascend to heaven in broad daylight."

The old man sighed with regret, and looked at the two Taoist friends, but then stroked his beard and said gently: "This calamity is your calamity, and it is also your fate. The change of the calamity is beyond your expectations, but you cannot not respond. Forget it, forget it..."

"My disciple Qi Wuhuo, come forward."

The tone of Taishang Daode Tianzun was calm, but more solemn than usual.

The young Taoist was slightly startled, took half a step forward, and stood solemnly with his whisk in his arm.

"The disciple is here."

The Supreme Supreme Purity Daode Tianzun looked at his disciple and said gently, "Today, the world is changing. The change is caused by you. Buddhism has entered the East. In my opinion, in the next few years, Guanyin from Mount Luojia and Manjusri from the Buddhist sect will enter the human world to enlighten it and turn it into a Buddhist country."

"My disciples of the Dao Sect should enter the human world."

"Support the righteousness and clarity, promote the Dao, rectify the qi of humanity, and restore peace to the world."

"Perfect your merits and deeds, and you will attain the Tao and ascend to heaven."

"Is it possible?"

The young Taoist's eyes darkened slightly, he took a half step forward, holding a whisk in his hand, bowed and replied: "Disciple can do it."

The old man asked again: "The heart of Tao is pure and will not be moved by wealth, glory or beauty."

"Is it possible?"

The young Taoist said, "I can hold on."

The old man stroked his beard and smiled, "Good, good, good."

"He is my disciple, my Taoist disciple."

Shangqing Daojun said: "You only give me verbal praise, but no real benefits?"

"How lazy are you, Taoist?"

Jade Purity Great Celestial Venerable sat on one side holding a whisk, his eyes slightly opened, and he said lightly:

"It's arrogance."

So the Supreme Heavenly Venerable laughed loudly, and then looked at the young Taoist and said, "Look, look, these two 'teachers' are actually looking after their own disciples. This is really, they have only been teachers for less than an hour, and they are already looking for benefits for their own disciples, ahahahaha."

"Okay, okay, if that's the case, I can't just sit there and say something."

"Yuqing, Shangqing, both of you have given me gifts. How can I do nothing?"

The old man raised his hand and pointed at the old blue ox, saying with a smile:

"Three months later, the Taoist has no doubts and rides a green ox into the human world."

"Use the righteous Dharma, preach the truth, and save all living beings."

"Is it possible?"

Then, in an instant, there was dead silence all around.
