Legend has it that when the Buddha first came to the divine realm in search of paradise, he reached the Eternal River and found himself with nowhere to go. His divine power was not that strong at the time, but with his extraordinary perseverance, he crossed the Eternal River using only a reed on the shore!
Of course, this reed must be very special, otherwise it would have been corroded by the river water long ago.
The Buddha walked barefoot from across the river to the crowd and said, "It is a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar. Today is the Golden Lotus Festival. It is a great honor for me to have you all here. Our meeting in this life is the result of our fate in past lives. Let us share this paradise together!"
After the Buddha finished speaking, he went ashore, and then other Buddhist monks immediately came forward to support him. Among them, eight hundred people carried a huge golden lotus throne. After the Buddha sat on it, the lotus throne instantly became magnificent and emitted thousands of rays of light!
A group of Buddhist disciples and believers quickly kowtowed and knelt, each of them appearing extremely pious.
Long Junhai didn't think this was a big deal. At most, his strength was a little stronger and the scene was a little bigger. If he was asked to kneel down and believe in gods and Buddhas, that would really be a joke. The only person he believed in in his life was himself.
"Back then, I crossed the river on a reed and arrived in this paradise. Now, the Golden Lotus Festival has been held for a full ten thousand times! After this, there will be no more Golden Lotus Festivals. There will be one less Golden Lotus of Heaven. This is your good fortune, but also your calamity. Amitabha!"
When the Buddha said this, all the believers and disciples who were kneeling down became nervous, because the Buddha meant that there would be one less Golden Lotus of Heaven, which means that someone would get this golden lotus and become another Buddha in the future!
If this is the case, it is indeed a blessing for those who obtain the golden lotus, but it is a disaster for those who do not obtain the golden lotus, because from then on, it will be difficult to have the opportunity to enter the Pure Land!
"The Way of Heaven is flawed. The Way of Primordial Heaven has existed for billions of years, nurturing twelve grades of golden lotus, seven immortal gourds, and one spiritual seed. If you are destined to obtain them, this time I will use the art of overturning rivers and seas to find a ray of opportunity for you!"
The Buddha said this and waved his hand. The entire Eternal River was grabbed by a huge golden hand shadow! Now it looked like the Eternal River was not a river at all, but a colorful dragon!
This colorful dragon stretches for countless miles with no end in sight. Only the Buddha has the ability to catch such a huge creature.
When the seven-colored dragon was caught, a brighter light suddenly burst out from the bottom of the river. This light was golden! It illuminated the entire sky!
"If you don't take it now, when will you take it?" The Buddha reminded with a smile, and all the believers and disciples immediately flocked to the lotus, hoping to seize the golden lotus as soon as possible. After all, this is the golden lotus of heaven that can make people become Buddha!
The Heavenly Golden Lotus is the most precious of the twelve golden lotuses. The others were obtained by other Buddhas and masters, and there was even a great sage from the demon clan who got three of them alone!
The Buddha obtained an orange lotus, which is similar to the golden lotus, but the power is far different.
But when everyone was scrambling to grab the golden lotus, it suddenly turned into two, two turned into three, and finally became endless. The whole river was filled with golden lotuses, and no one knew which one was real and which one was fake!
The Buddha shook his head helplessly. He had tried his best. Whether he could obtain the Golden Lotus of Heaven depended on the luck of his disciples!
But at this moment, the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds. You know, it is impossible for Lingshan Paradise to be covered by dark clouds, so there must be a monster coming!
The Buddha frowned and said directly, "Come out, Taoist Mosquito. You stole the third-grade lotus back then, and now you want to eat this golden lotus again?"
At this time, the dark clouds dispersed and the figure of a man in black appeared.
"Hehe, I haven't eaten the Heavenly Dao Lotus for a long time, not to mention that this is a golden lotus, the best among the twelve grades of lotus. How could I not be drooling? Buddha, you are going to pass away anyway, why not give me your orange Heavenly Dao Lotus as well? Maybe after I eat all the Heavenly Dao Lotuses, I can become a true Heavenly Dao Great Sage!" The man in black is the Mosquito Taoist of the demon clan, and he is also the strongest of the demon clan, no doubt about it!
Long Junhai didn't try to snatch the golden lotus, nor did he leave the place. Instead, he watched everything from afar, wondering why this happened. Was the Mosquito Taoist from the God Realm the same Mosquito Taoist from the Immortal Realm?
Of course, Long Junhai couldn't figure this out at the moment, but after listening to the conversation between the two, he realized that the Buddha was about to pass away! No wonder this demon master came here to cause trouble!
"Master Mosquito, life and death are determined by fate. This is the reincarnation of your previous life. Back then, you stole the third-grade lotus and I injured you. Now, when I am passing away, the golden lotus appears and you come to make trouble. This is also part of the operation of the Heavenly Dao. I don't blame you for this. But I want you to give these innocent people a way to live. I am willing to give you both the Heavenly Dao Golden Lotus and my Heavenly Dao Orange Lotus!" The Buddha said very seriously.
"You're smart! I'll make a vow to the Heavenly Dao right now. If I get your Heavenly Dao Lotus and don't leave, I will die in the Heavenly Dao!" Taoist Mosquito said very seriously.
The Buddha smiled and nodded. With a wave of his hand, all the golden lotuses gathered together and turned into a palm-sized golden lotus that flew towards Taoist Mosquito.
"Buddha! Absolutely not! If Taoist Mosquito swallows the Heavenly Golden Lotus, his strength will surely increase greatly, and then no one will be able to stop him! You must think twice!" Many guardians and disciples below knelt down to pray to Buddha.
But the Buddha shook his head helplessly and said, "This is fate, there is no escape. Give it to him. I hope this can buy you a chance of survival!"
Before the Buddha finished speaking, Taoist Mosquito had already taken the Heavenly Golden Lotus into his hands, and then said, "Buddha, quickly hand over your Heavenly Golden Lotus as well!"
"Amitabha, well done, well done!" The Buddha put his hands together, and an orange lotus flower flew out from between his eyebrows and flew towards the Mosquito Taoist.
At this time, the golden light on the Buddha's body began to weaken rapidly, and disappeared completely in less than a moment, and then the Buddha turned into a Buddha statue!
"Haha! Idiot! You've been fooled! Do you think I will keep my promise? You want me to let these people go? Impossible! Die!" Taoist Mosquito laughed loudly, and a large group of black mosquitoes suddenly flew out behind him!
These mosquitoes flew extremely fast, forming a large formation that surrounded everyone, and then began to slaughter them crazily! No one present had the strength to fight back!
