Chapter 1499 Wutian Appears

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, eighty years have passed since the end of Journey to the West. For mortals, these eighty years are a lifetime, but for immortals, it is a difficult eighty years.

If possible, there are too many things that the great powers of the Three Realms really don’t want to know. There are still five or six hundred years before the arrival of the Ten Thousand Realms. It can be said that these immortals and gods live their lives like years. It is a test of life and death.

These eighty years have been difficult not only for the creatures in the three realms, but also for the creatures in the starry sky, because Hongyun has ordered that the monks in the starry sky cannot return to the four major continents. Anyone who violates this order will have to go to the immortal platform.

With Hong Yun's words, those immortal gods who wanted to return to the four major continents gave up the idea. They all knew that Hong Yun's words were not just words.

In the past eighty years, Buddhism has developed the most. It can be said that Buddhism has completely established itself in Nanzhan continent during these eighty years, and the contemporary emperor established Buddhism as the state religion.

Moreover, in these eighty years, Buddhism has sprung up a large number of Bodhisattvas and Arhats. Not only that, but the number of followers of Buddhism has increased even more. As the saying goes, in troubled times Taoist priests go down the mountain to support justice, and in prosperous times monks go down the mountain to beg for alms.

It can be said that this sentence is not used at all. Now it is the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty, and those monks are going down the mountain one by one to preach. But it has to be said that the incense of Buddhism once flourished, directly overshadowing Taoism. .

In the past eighty years, it can be said that Buddhism has truly flourished. Buddhism spread eastward, and two-thirds of the people in Nanzhan continent have become believers in Buddhism. Guanyin Bodhisattva, who presided over the journey to the West, has become a superstar in Buddhism. .

As long as it is a Buddhist temple, there will be a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Even if there is no Tathagata Buddha, there must be Guanyin Bodhisattva, and every household worships Guanyin Bodhisattva. This makes Guanyin Bodhisattva's proportion of Buddhist luck increase instantly. few.

As a result, Guanyin Bodhisattva's cultivation has reached the ninth level and the fifth level. It can be said that Guanyin Bodhisattva has become the first Taoist among Buddhist Bodhisattvas. As for other Bodhisattvas, even if they are powerful, they are only as high as the Great Buddha.

Buddhism has another beneficiary, and that is the planner of the Journey to the West, Tathagata Buddha. He has directly become a ninth-level, fifth-peak Taoist from the original nine-level four great deities. He is only one step away from becoming a nine-level six-level deity.

But Tathagata Buddha did not intend to give up just like that, because he still had a plan that would allow him to become a ninth-level Six-Path Master, but this plan was very difficult, and not only difficult, it might require life and death.

In the Great Leiyin Temple in Hezhou, Xiniu, the Tathagata Buddha was expounding the Buddhist scriptures. Almost all the Buddhas were gathered. Only Sun Wukong, the Victorious Buddha, and the Ancient Buddha Lantern were not present.

When Tathagata Buddha narrated the Buddhist scriptures, visions arose everywhere, flowers fell from the sky, and golden lotuses sprouted from the ground. All the Buddhas and Bodhisattva Arhats listened attentively to the scriptures narrated by Tathagata Buddha, which contained the most profound principles of Buddhism.

Suddenly, a black cloud came over. A million-foot-long black cloud gradually enveloped Lingshan. This shocked all the Arhat Bodhisattvas on Lingshan, because no matter how heavy the dark cloud was, it would not Appeared above Lingshan Mountain.

"What happened? Why is this black cloud covering Lingshan? Is it possible that an evil spirit wants to attack Lingshan?"

"Tathagata Buddha and other Buddhas are preaching. No matter how powerful the evil demon comes, he will definitely die. However, the eternally clear and bright mountain is now covered by black clouds. I am afraid this is really the great calamity of our Buddha. Is this Taoism? Revenge?"

The young novice monks began to discuss, no doubt guessing that this should be Taoist revenge, but the three pure methods practiced by Taoism are not like black clouds. Those who have this appearance are probably only demons, but demons have been in ancient times. period became extinct.

Above the main hall, the Buddhas and Bodhisattva Arhats also discovered the dark clouds outside, and were shocked in their hearts, because Lingshan is a Buddhist holy land, how could it be shrouded in black clouds? Tang Monk stood up and said to Tathagata Buddha: "World Honored One, why is my Buddhist holy place shrouded in black clouds?"

"Alas, what is supposed to come will eventually come. Everything is fate. This is the calamity of my Buddhism and the calamity of all living beings." Tathagata Buddha did not answer Tang Monk's question directly. He seemed to be muttering to himself, with some fear in his eyes. color.

Suddenly, the eight guardian kings shouted angrily: "Who dares to invade the Great Leiyin Temple!" After saying that, the eight guardians used spells to hit the black cloud, but the black cloud emitted eight rays of light. , directly seriously injuring the Eight Great Vajras.

A black lotus rose slowly in the hall. After a moment, the black lotus unfolded and became a twelve-grade black lotus platform. This is the ancient treasure, the twelve-grade world-destroying black lotus. On the lotus platform, A young man in black appeared and sat cross-legged.

"Tathagata, I said five hundred years ago that I will come back. Now that I'm here, do you dare to fight me?" This young man in black is none other than Mara.

"How can the Holy Land of Buddhism tolerate the arrogance of a demon like you?" Future Buddha directly struck out a palm, and Ten Thousand Buddhas came to the sect. In an instant, a ten-foot-sized palm print appeared and struck at Mo Luo.

"You, a little monk, dare to be rude in front of me." As soon as Mara finished speaking, a faint light shot out from his eyes, directly breaking the Ten Thousand Buddhas Chaozong and hitting the future Buddha. With just one blow, the future Buddha Direct serious injury.

"No evildoers should cause trouble in the Buddhist holy land!" All the Buddhas, Arhats and Bodhisattvas stood up, offered their magic weapons, and prepared to fight Mara.

At this time, Tathagata Buddha looked at Mara in front of him and said calmly: "Mara, this should not be your true body! If I am not mistaken, your true body has already arrived at the place of the ancient Buddha of Lantern in Lingjiu Mountain. .”

"The Tathagata is the Tathagata, and my true body has already gone to meet the Ancient Buddha of Burning Lights." Mara said directly without any concealment: "From now on, Mara will not exist, and there will be only Wutian Buddha in the world."

"How presumptuous! A little devil dares to call himself Buddha. He really overestimates his capabilities." Tang Seng is no small matter now. At least his cultivation level is higher than that of the future Buddha. He stood up directly and wanted to fight Wutian Buddha.

"I know you. I was a Buddhist monk back then. I admire you very much. Don't do anything that is impossible." Buddha Wutian said calmly.

"Thank you, Monk, for the compliment, but I want to see the Monk's Dharma." Tang Monk pointed at Wutian Buddha, and a ray of Buddha light suddenly appeared, hitting Wutian Buddha's eyebrows.
