Chapter 545 Buddha Pillar
"Is it the demon who usurped the Buddha's throne, or is it that the Buddha was originally a demon?"
Li Yanmo stared into Daoyan's eyes and asked word by word.
Daoyan stroked his beard and asked, "Is this question important?"
"In terms of the result, it doesn't matter, but I want to know an answer."
Daoyan stroked his beard, and after a long silence, he suddenly smiled, "Someone once said that people are born with intelligence, but if they are tainted with greed, anger, and ignorance, they are born as monsters."
Li Yanmo knew the answer, and the Tianji Tower in his foundation-building platform finally completed the Taoist tradition of defeating the Ghost Sect and other super sects that were trying to form the Prison Gate.
Before Nuyao could get excited, the Tianji Tower sent her a lot of information. Nuyao was stunned for a few seconds and her face suddenly changed.
"What!? Li Yanmo! Go! The one here... is an unheard-of monster!"
Li Yanmo's eyes twitched violently, but he did not move.
Although Daoyan did not emanate any hostility, Li Yanmo was not naive enough to think he could get away.
Daoyan put his left hand behind his back and raised his right index finger and shook it, "Master Li, what do you think cultivators are to the world?"
At this moment, Nuyao was anxiously telling Li Yanmo about the information about the Ghost Sect and other super sects.
The torture that cultivators must endure during reincarnation is still greater than the crisis that the world can bear, and... the way of dealing with it is called Buddha.
"A person who takes advantage of loopholes?" Li Yanmo answered Daoyan's question while listening.
"Taking shortcuts? Lord Li is really polite. In my opinion, rogue is more appropriate," Daoyan stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Not only did he use shortcuts to climb to the fairyland, but he also shamelessly promoted this method as the right way, causing the true immortals to disappear."
"If that's all, that's fine."
"Heaven and earth gave birth to them and raised them, but they use defying heaven as their slogan. They clearly know who harmed them, but they still blame all the problems on heaven... Lord Li, do you know why?"
Li Yanmo thought for a moment and replied, "Although the way of heaven is ruthless, it is also fair. It will not be angry with the cultivators just because they shout that they want to go against the heavens, but those who harmed them may really harm them again."
“Is this a rogue act?”
Li Yanmo was speechless. Daoyan turned around and paced back and forth. "That's fine. Even the Heavenly Dao is so magnanimous. Why should we care about it? At least there is death to stop them. The scary thing is that they want to deny even death."
"Life and death are determined by fate. Living forever is a skill. When you die, you should accept it. But they have come up with all kinds of ways to revive. Isn't this just playing rogue?"
Li Yanmo shrugged his shoulders in disbelief at Daoyan's statement. "With such means, living in vain is better than dying. Therefore, in order to prevent cultivators from being resurrected too easily, which would lead to an increase in the number of cultivators, the Great Thousand Worlds... no, it should be said that a series of Taoist sects were perfected. In order to further curb the resurrection of cultivators, those Taoist sects also developed into super sects."
"The system is complete, but it is too slow. There are already too many cultivators in this world, and the number of cultivators is still growing rapidly, so we need a place that can save all these [idiot] ghosts in one go."
Li Yanmo took a deep breath and stared into Daoyan's eyes.
"So, where is the Buddha who has transformed countless monks who have been reincarnated as humans into ghosts for hundreds of thousands of years? Don't tell me you are that Buddha."
Li Yanmo raised his head and the three towering Buddhas were reflected in his eyes again.
"Is it one of them? Or all three?"
These three giant Buddhas were all built by Mo Changzai as a self-destruct switch to scare Buddhists. Leng Ningshuang and Daohai both stated this fact in a joking tone at that time. Li Yanmo was not very experienced in worldly affairs at that time, and was a complete newbie. Coupled with his inherent knowledge of the Dayu Dynasty, Li Yanmo believed it.
But the absurd premise that will make people smile knowingly is based on the fact that Buddhism is just pure Buddhism, the one that was troubled by the rumors spread by Daohai from the Dayu Dynasty, but turned around and used incense to smoke bacon, and also developed the "lie" formula because it could not win the argument with the great Confucian scholar.
Rather than the Buddhist sect that disguises the methods of evil spirits as Buddhist teachings.
"Sir Li, Buddha has no form. His form is the form of all living beings," Daoyan followed Li Yanmo's gaze and looked at the three giant Buddhas. He smiled helplessly, raised his hand and waved it. The three giant Buddhas that soared into the sky disappeared in the wind like mirages.
"It takes the appearance of all living beings as its appearance... Therefore, Daoqi is a tiger, and Daoliang is a bear." Li Yanmo's eyes twitched slightly, "If so, where is the Buddha pillar?"
The Pillar of Tao, the Pillar of Sacredness, the Pillar of Soldiers and the Pillar of Buddha. The Dayu Dynasty ended the Great Wilderness with these four pillars and supported the entire Dayu Dynasty.
Among them, the Taoist Pillar, the Holy Pillar, and the Military Pillar were all under the control of the Dayu Dynasty, but the Buddha Pillar had always been in the hands of Buddhism. This was also the reason why Buddhism, which had the smallest scale, the smallest number of people, and without the support of the Dayu Dynasty, could become one of the four gates of the universe.
But the problem is that since entering Juezhou, Li Yanmo has not seen the shadow of the Buddha pillar.
Juezhou is so small, and the Buddha pillar, as one of the four pillars that can cut off the wilderness, should be huge enough to be seen at a glance.
Daoyan smiled without saying anything, and Li Yanmo also realized a possibility at this moment and slowly moved his eyes downwards.
Leng Ningshuang paused, the huge shadow forced her to keep looking up, her gaze moving upwards.
The huge stone pillars, like creations of the gods, stood majestically between heaven and earth, piercing the sky, as if connecting the sky and the earth. An ancient and heavy atmosphere permeated between the stone pillars, as if even time had stopped here, and a low hum echoed in the air.
Clouds swirled around it, and suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck, illuminating the outline of the stone pillar.
Beneath the ancient and damp roots are countless Buddha statues of various shapes and lifelike. Their torn robes are caught in the stone walls and fluttering in the wind.
"Is this... a Buddhist pillar?"
As the eldest daughter of the Leng family, Leng Ningshuang has seen the Tao Pillar, the Soldiers Pillar, and the Holy Pillar. The Tao Pillar is forged from all dharmas and gives birth to all dharmas, like the incarnation of the Three Thousand Great Daos. The Soldiers Pillar is forged from all weapons and is filled with murderous aura. The Holy Pillar is filled with the words of saints, mobilizing the righteousness of heaven and earth in this entire universe.
Just by looking at these three pillars, you will have a strong feeling that they are the indispensable pillars of the world.
But the Buddha pillar in front of him exuded an absurd atmosphere, like a foreign object between heaven and earth.
“Is this Juezhou?”
The moment she realized this, Leng Ningshuang's face changed drastically.
"I'm in trouble!"
As soon as he finished speaking, those lifelike Buddha statues suddenly opened their eyes, all of them began to move rhythmically, chanting Buddhist scriptures, and boundless Buddha light spread out with the Buddha pillar as the center.
