Chapter 330 Conflict
"Here comes with ill intentions!"
The thin dog took a few steps forward and stood in front of Fang Zhixing, baring its teeth and growling to show its authority.
Liansheng and the other two looked at each other, then stood beside Fang Zhixing in tacit understanding, looking as if they were united in fighting a common enemy.
But Jingxuan turned a blind eye and just looked at Fang Zhixing. He raised one hand and said indifferently: "Donor An, please hand over the Bodhi fruit."
Fang Zhixing remained calm and said with his hands behind his back: "Not to mention that I don't have a Bodhi fruit in my hand, even if I do, it should belong to me."
"You're lying!"
Hyun-myeong was furious and shouted, "It is easy to enter the bronze door, but it is difficult to get out. You must hold the Bodhi fruit.
The fact that you were able to walk out of the bronze door alive means that you must have picked at least one Bodhi fruit."
Fang Zhixing spread his hands and smiled: "I did pick a Bodhi fruit, but I have already eaten it."
As soon as these words came out, Jingxuan and the others all changed color.
"I don't believe it. With that monster guarding you, how would you have time to eat the Bodhi fruit?"
Hyun-myung stepped forward, raised his hand towards Fang Zhixing, and shouted, "I want a body search."
"Wangwang~"
The dog suddenly jumped up and opened its mouth to bite Hyun-myung's right hand, its scarlet fangs fast, fierce and accurate! "Hey, you evil beast!"
Hyun-ming felt the pain and became furious. He stretched out his left hand and grabbed the thin dog's neck.
But the little dog is not a pushover, and immediately uses "bristle armor" to strengthen its defense.
Hyun-myung struggled hard a few times but couldn't get rid of the tiny dog.
He felt his skin was about to be bitten, and his body swelled up as his rage grew.
The image of a furious Vajra was revealed, his whole body shining with golden light, and his golden skin was indestructible.
The thin dog felt a little bit of a toothache and started scratching around with its two front paws.
"Bloody Claws!"
The violent claw shadow swept out, almost dealing damage to the face.
Suddenly, sparks appeared on Hyunming's body, and scratches of varying depths appeared on his body.
"The evil beast is seeking death!"
Hyun-myung was completely enraged, and swung the vajra, smashing it down on the man's head.
"Wozhi!"
The thin dog's whole body tensed up, and he quickly opened his mouth and activated his bloodline magical power.
"The sound moves everything!"
In an instant, circles of sound waves visible to the naked eye burst out.
The thin dog locked onto all the monks, including Jingxuan and others.
For a moment!
The monks stepped back and staggered as if they had been hit hard.
Jingxuan and the four guardian monks were fine, but the thirty-six bronze men were in trouble. They were bleeding from their mouths and noses, staggering, and falling to the ground.
"presumptuous!"
Xuanxin rushed out, with the image of Acalanatha standing proudly in front of the monks.
The Dharma form of Acalanatha has invincible defense and can naturally defend against sonic attacks.
but!
The sound waves emitted by the thin dog are extraordinary and very special, and can ignore any obstacles.
This results in Hyun-sim being able to only protect herself and not others.
The monks continued to vomit blood!
Seeing this, Jingxuan couldn't help but frown.
I didn't expect that a mere spiritual pet could cause such a scene.
“Suffering is the most precious medicine!”
At this time, Xuan Jian came out, his old face full of tears, and he opened his arms wide.
Then, something incredible happened!
All the sound waves suddenly focused on Hyun-sim and were absorbed by him alone.
Xuanxin's seven orifices were bleeding and he was in excruciating pain, but his expression showed a kind of insane pleasure.
The next moment, the thin dog suddenly screamed.
“Ah~”
The thin dog fell to the ground, twitching and spitting blood.
He was hit, his bloodline ability was broken, and he was knocked down by Xuanjian's "counter-damage".
"The sea of suffering is endless, why do you seek suffering for yourself!"
Hyun-sim clasped her hands together, looked at the thin dog, and shook her head in disdain.
But the next moment, a golden palm swept over.
Pah! With a crisp sound, Hyun-jian's cheek was lifted up, and five finger marks appeared.
"you!"
Xuan was shocked and his pupils contracted sharply.
Fang Zhixing came in front of him, with the shadow of a tyrant appearing above his head, posing in the form of a furious Vajra.
"Who gave you permission to hit my dog?"
Fang Zhixing opened his eyes slightly and pushed forward with his palm.
The Vajra Palm was as powerful as a bamboo breaking through, imprinting on Xuanjian's chest.
Strength can defeat skill!
The terrifying force hit the body of the Boundless Sea of Bitterness.
Hyun was seen spurting blood and flew backwards, breaking several pillars, flying outside the museum and smashing through three buildings along the way.
This scene! Hyun-myung and the other two were horrified and terrified.
They never expected that the gap in strength between them and Fang Zhixing was so huge.
"Ah, this?!"
Abbot Jingxuan's breathing stagnated, his face twitched wildly, and his expression was full of disbelief.
Fang Zhixing, a Taoist, actually displayed the Buddhist Dharma!
In other words, after reading the Diamond Sutra, he realized the true meaning of Buddhism.
This kind of Buddhist affinity is beyond imagination! "Amitabha, everyone stop!"
Jingxuan took a deep breath, quickly calmed down, and said loudly: "An Baopu has comprehended the authentic Buddhism and is already a member of our Buddhist sect. He is qualified to enjoy the Bodhi fruit."
The monks lowered their heads and clasped their hands together towards Fang Zhixing, with all the hostility between their brows gone.
In this situation, Fang Zhixing was speechless and didn't know what to say.
After a while, the little dog finally recovered, got up and glared at the monks.
"Damn it, if Lord Gou hadn't been tricked, he would have killed all of you one by one."
After letting out a few resentful "wang wang wang", the thin dog walked aside alone and licked the blood on his body.
After a while, an hour passed.
Fang Zhixing was delayed by this matter and didn't do much treasure hunting. He only got a Bodhi fruit from beginning to end.
Of course, the gains are huge, and this wave is definitely a sure win.
Jingxuan led everyone to leave this place and return to Jihuo Temple.
On the road, Jingxuan and Fang Zhixing walked side by side.
At this moment, Jingxuan seemed like a completely different person, with a kind smile on his face and full of kindness.
"Master An, you have a predestined relationship with my Buddha. If you enter my Buddhist sect, you will definitely be able to obtain the 'fruit position'."
Jingxuan made the invitation without any reservation.
Fang Zhixing couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is this fruit position?"
Jingxuan explained carefully: "The Buddhist practice method is different from the Taoist practice. The Taoist practice emphasizes that the path is endless, while the Buddhist practice emphasizes that the Dharma is boundless and the fruit position is unique!"
Fang Zhixing seemed to understand what he said, but not quite.
Seeing this, Jingxuan continued, “For example, there are many Buddhist disciples, but there are only nine Vajra Dharma images, which means that many people will practice the same Vajra Dharma image.
But what is the end of the Vajra Dharma?
The answer is Buddha, becoming a Buddha! What is Buddha? Buddha is the ultimate, Buddha is the only one!
This means that every job has its own place!
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
It is impossible for two true Buddhas to be born from the same Vajra Dharmadhatu!"
Fang Zhixing paused for a moment, his expression changing again and again, and he said in astonishment: "Then who will become a Buddha? If someone has already become a Buddha, then wouldn't it mean that no one after him will be able to become a Buddha?"
Jingxuan shook his head and smiled meaningfully: "No, everyone can become a Buddha!"
Fang Zhixing was stunned at first, then he shuddered and said in shock: "You mean, people of the same kind will blend together!"
"good!"
Jingxuan nodded repeatedly, "The ultimate goal of practicing Buddhism is to merge with the one and only true Buddha, to become the truth, to become eternal, and to be the only one who is supreme!"
Fang Zhixing took a deep breath and suddenly realized.
Buddha is not a person, but a fusion of countless people who have reached the end! He combines all living beings in one body, so Buddha has infinite wisdom and boundless magic power! He thought about it and found a bug, and asked: "Are there only nine true Buddhas?"
"Of course not!"
Jingxuan replied carefully: "There are actually far more than nine Vajra Dharma images. For example, the 'Tathagata Dharma Image' is mentioned more than once in many Buddhist scriptures.
It’s just that we only have three copies of the Diamond Sutra circulating in the world, and we don’t know what the other dharmas look like for now.”
Fang Zhixing understood, thought about it, and asked, "What is the difference between Buddha and Bodhisattva?"
Jingxuan smiled and replied, "The difference lies in the level of fruition. Buddha is the highest, followed by Bodhisattva, and Arhat, Vajra, and Bodhisattva are at the bottom."
At this point, he mentioned: "After swallowing the Bodhi fruit, the effect is to open up supreme wisdom and infinite potential, thus embarking on the path to becoming a Buddha."
He lamented, “Without the Bodhi fruit, no matter how one practices, one cannot become a Buddha.”
Fang Zhixing understood, and his mind began to run wild with thoughts.
At this time, Jingxuan suddenly changed the subject and asked, "In this Buddhist event, do you know who your biggest enemy is?"
Fang Zhixing was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "I'm just here to watch the ceremony, I don't want to cause any trouble, where did the enemy come from?"
Jing Xuanlian said: "The conflict between Buddhism and Taoism has not been going on overnight. Whenever Buddhism and Taoism meet, there will naturally be a fierce fight.
But for your Five Elements Sect and Taiyi Sect, the biggest enemy is not Buddhism, but the Heavenly Master Sect."
Fang Zhixing raised his eyebrows, very puzzled.
Jingxuan explained seriously: "The Five Elements Sect and the Taiyi Sect were born in this dynasty, but the history of Tianshi Dao is even older, starting from the previous dynasty or even earlier, and there is evidence that Tianshi Dao was once the state religion of the previous dynasty!"
Fang Zhixing's eyes flickered, and he said thoughtfully, "I have heard of this saying many times before: 'The authentic Taoism lies in the Heavenly Master'."
Jingxuan nodded and said: "According to our Buddhist investigation, the Tianshi Dao and the Tianjiansi are inextricably linked.
There is even a saying that the Tianshi Dao was actually founded by the Jiantiansi and the people worked for the Jiantiansi.
The reason why the Five Elements Sect and the Taiyi Sect emerged was because some people in the Tianshi Dao were unwilling to be ordered around by the Tianshi Division, so they left and established their own sects.
Because of this, the Tianshi Dao regards the Five Elements Sect and the Taiyi Sect as traitors, and has always been bossing you around with great contempt."
Fang Zhixing was amazed. He didn't expect the relationship between the three major Taoist sects to be so complicated.
The implication is that the Tianshi Dao is very likely to cause trouble for him.
"Well, I'll be careful!"
Fang Zhixing thanked Jingxuan and then returned to the villa.
He called Lianquan and other two people.
Fang Zhixing looked at Liansheng and asked, "Tianshi Dao, how much do you know?"
Liansheng waved his paper fan and said slowly, "The Tianshi Dao regards itself as a 'Tianshi'. It believes in the secrets of heaven and can see into the future. It is also very good at deducing battle formations. A skilled Tianshi can even use his powerful thoughts to set up battle formations and kill the enemy invisibly."
Fang Zhixing was silent for a moment, then asked, "Does the Tianshi Dao have a good relationship with us?"
"not good!"
Lian Yue interrupted and said angrily, "The Tianshi Sect considers itself to be orthodox and despises our two sects. Their attitude is very bad."
Fang Zhixing nodded and sighed softly: "We try not to cause trouble, and I hope the Tianshi Dao will do the same."
The night passed quickly.
The next morning, the weather was fine.
Fang Zhixing and his companions left Jihuo Temple and went to "Yuan Ye City", the capital of Qianzhou, to attend the grand event.
Jingxuan was accompanied by four Dharma protector monks.
Everyone rode on the colorful auspicious cloud together, chatting and laughing along the way, and the atmosphere was particularly harmonious.
Soon, an extremely large city came into view, its scale far exceeding that of the capital of Daizhou.
"It is worthy of being the ancient imperial city..."
Fang Zhixing was amazed.
Liansheng smiled and said, "Yuan Ye City was built around the palace of the previous dynasty. When the previous dynasty fell, a fire burned down the entire city, leaving only ruins. The buildings we see now are all newly built later."
Jingxuan nodded and said, "The old capital has long disappeared in the dust of history, leaving only the name of the Ancient Imperial City."
At this point, Jing Xuan smiled and twirled his beard, then slowly said, "However, even though the old capital is gone, not everything has disappeared with it, such as the restricted area!"
Fang Zhixing tilted his head and asked, "How many restricted areas are there in Yuanye City?"
Jingxuan replied: "There is only one, called the 'Ancient Emperor Forbidden Zone', which is rumored to be a restricted area exclusively for the royal family.
It seems that in the previous dynasty, only members of the royal family and those who obtained the emperor’s permission were qualified to enter that restricted area.”
Fang Zhixing was surprised and asked, "Why is it just a rumor? Has no one been in to see it?"
Jing Xuan smiled and said, "I guess you guessed it. Ever since the ancient imperial city was destroyed by fire, the restricted area has been dormant and is no longer open. No one can enter and explore it.
About five hundred years ago, the entrance to the restricted area was briefly opened for a few days, and then fell dormant again. "
At this point, Jing Xuan did not hide anything and lowered his voice and said, "I will not hide anything from you. I will tell you an insider information in advance. The Ancient Emperor Forbidden Zone will be opened again soon."
Fang Zhixing and the others were all shocked and said, "Could it be that the Buddhist sect held this grand event just to explore the Ancient Emperor's restricted area?"
Jing Xuan nodded and said, "Yes, the emperor gave this task to Wanfa Temple to carry out, and appointed King Chu Guan to supervise it."
Fang Zhixing blinked and asked in confusion: "For such an important mission, you can just carry it out secretly. Why do you have to invite people from the Taoist sect?"
Jing Xuan sighed, "Good things take time! After hearing about this, the Tianshi Dao wanted to intervene, and later gained the support of the Tianjiansi.
With the support of the Heavenly Supervisor, the emperor was forced to agree to the Heavenly Master's request. "
Fang Zhixing's eyes twitched slightly, and he said speechlessly: "The reason why the Five Elements Sect and Taiyi Sect were involved is because..."
Jing Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend! To be honest, we don't know what the Tianshi Dao is planning, so we have no choice but to drag you into it and muddy the waters completely."
Fang Zhixing was completely speechless. After all this fuss, it turned out that Buddhism had no good intentions from the beginning.
My goodness! The Wanfa Temple and the Tianshi Dao are at loggerheads, and behind them is a battle between the Emperor and the Tianjian Division!
The Five Elements Sect and the Taiyi Sect are purely pawns! "It seems that the reason why the emperor strongly supports Buddhism is perhaps to counter the Tianshi Dao supported by the Tianjian Division..."
The Emperor and the Heavenly Supervisor have a bad relationship?!
