Chapter 370: Western Paradise

Zonfo Mountain, the seventh floor of the pagoda of Fengtoku Temple.

This is the highest point of the entire Buddha Mountain, and here stands a Buddha statue.

Zen Master Kaiwen sat in front of the Buddha statue and muttered something.

"In the land where the World Honored One's avatar is located, in the place of extinction, this sutra should be preached widely. Why? We also want to obtain this true and pure Dharma..."

Although he was reciting the Buddha's mantra spoken by the Blessed One, the Buddha statue in front of him was not that of the Blessed One.

Not every place is qualified to erect a statue of the Buddha.

It's not that the World-Honored One is unwilling. In fact, the World-Honored One doesn't care about these things. The Buddha is famous for being kind and easy to talk to. Except for demons, he has never been rude to anyone, and he has never spoken harshly to anyone.

This matter is also related to the demon. As an orthodox Buddhist practitioner who traveled from Xitianling Mountain, Zen Master Kaiwen knew the reason behind it very well.

Every place where there is a statue of the Buddha will inevitably be watched by the demons. Those who dare to worship the statue of the Buddha will be closely watched by the demons.

The grudge between the demon and the Buddha has spread far and wide, even Li Qi knows about it.

On the day when the Buddha became enlightened, a demon fell in front of the Buddha and told him that he would tamper with the Buddha's orthodoxy. He would make all the monks degenerate into demons, distort the Buddha's true meaning, rewrite the Buddha's scriptures, and let the devil's sons and grandsons act openly and openly. Put on your cassock, sit in front of the Buddha statue, and indulge yourself in front of the believers.

Substituting demons for Buddhas will ultimately lead to the Age of Dharma End. This is one of the goals of the demons and their bad taste.

"Due to the power of the Buddha, all the Buddhas in this Saha world can be seen sitting on the Master's throne under countless hundreds of thousands of billions of jeweled trees. They can also see Sakyamuni Buddha and the Many Treasures Tathagata sitting on the Master's throne in the pagoda. ." Zen Master Kaiwen continued to recite the mantra, but he began to think about things he had heard in the past.

The devil wants to do this, because such a thing can destroy the Tathagata's great cause of enlightenment, make him lose his Taoist heart, and even cause the World Honored One to lose his goods.

This is of no benefit to the demon, but he is going to do it. If you ask him about his purpose, the answer he will get is most likely "fun".

The World-Honored One once said: "This wave of demons will gradually destroy my righteous Dharma. In the next life, demons will transform into ascetics and enter the monks. They will spread all kinds of heresy and cause many sentient beings to fall into wrong views and speak wrong Dharma."

Bo Xun is the name of the demon, which few people know, but Zen Master Kaiwen, who was born in Lingshan, has read many scriptures that are not circulated to the public, so he has seen it.

At the beginning, the World-Honored One, with his supreme perseverance and supreme wisdom, suppressed the demon head-on during the promotion process and finally succeeded in attaining enlightenment. However, the demon was not prepared to let it go.

Therefore, any place where there is a statue of the Buddha will attract the attention of the demons, and the entire Buddhism has been the target of the demons for countless years.

"Those sentient beings, who heard the sound in the sky, all dispersed in the Saha world far away, covering all the Buddhas here." Kaiwen Zen Master kept saying the Buddha's mantra, but he sighed deeply in his heart.

The idea of ​​the unity of Buddha and devil, the kind of 'esoteric Buddhism' that is shrouded in demonic nature spread among the countries in the Western Regions, and the demonic thoughts that all Buddhist disciples are always on guard against. The source of everything is the devil, and it is also uncontrollable. Buddha The Demonic Oneness even openly became a sect of Buddhism.

Just like what the devil said at the beginning, the devil's sons and grandsons will put on cassocks and sit in front of the Buddha.

Even if the Bodhisattva and the True Buddhas forged the Colorless Realm to expel the Heavenly Demon outside the realm, and then used the Quiet Law to lock the Heavenly Demon tightly, so that every time he stretched out his tentacles, he would be counterattacked by several True Buddhas. There is no way to prevent this from happening.

Now, too, another Buddhist disciple has received such care. I hope he can survive...

"At that time, the worlds in the ten directions are accessible without hindrance, just like a Buddha land." Thinking of these, Zen Master Kaiwen finally finished reciting the Buddhist mantra in his mouth.

You can clearly understand the effect of this Buddhist mantra by reading the mantra.

With the help of the seven-story pagoda of Fengtoku Temple, it connects to the formless realm, achieving the effect that "when all sentient beings hear the sound in the sky, they can reach the worlds in the ten directions without hindrance, just like the land of a Buddha."

This requires a lot of energy, but Zen Master Kaiwen now has an entire Buddhist temple and pagoda as support, so he can use this secret technique to directly communicate with the Buddhist Kingdom of the West.

The worlds in the ten directions can be reached without any hindrance, just like the land of a Buddha. Perhaps only Bodhisattvas and true Buddhas can achieve such great power.

However, I heard that on the other side of humanity, there is a thing called the Cardinal of All Realms, which can also do this, allowing people in the endless world to talk to each other as if they were face to face, but it is a pity that I have never seen it with my own eyes.

As the Buddha's mantra fell to the ground, a curtain of water suddenly opened in front of Zen Master Kaiwen.

On the other side of the water curtain is a charming woman.

It is truly charming, it is indescribable beauty, almost comparable to the female posture of the devil.

Wearing beautiful makeup and silk clothes, the petals around her body are floating in the air, flying red like rain, as if counting the falling flowers in the wind.

Rouge-stained lips, lined with hostas, and white gauze covering her slender waist. She wore a costume like that of an exotic dancer. She only covered her body with a bandeau and gauze. The skin that was faintly exposed could be seen to have a smooth and clean texture. When the body is fat and barren, its steps are like light clouds coming out of Xiu, and its feet are traveling far away. Moreover, it is not walking, and it is barefoot.

The fat whiteness vaguely showing on the chest, as well as the slightly curled toes, seemed to be planning to cause trouble in the world.

However, underneath this alluring scene is the solemn and grand Buddha's light.

The lazy beauty is sitting under the Bodhi tree, showing a great contrast. Beauty and solemnity, but beauty and Bodhi, showing a harmonious appearance. They complement each other and are not obtrusive. On the contrary, the solemnity and gorgeousness are each distinct. .

Master Kaiwen, who is so handsome, looks like a passerby in front of such a scene.

"Greetings to Dajinite." Master Kaiwen bowed to the water curtain: "Disciple Kaiwen, I have something important to report."

With Kaiwen's words, the true identity of the beauty in front of him was also revealed.

Dajinite, the follower of Mahakala, the Wisdom Dakini, the Yaksha demon, and the god in charge of the harvest, also known as the White Star Fox King.

Not a Buddha, but a god, a Yaksha among demons, and a demon, but a strange existence who has always served Buddhism.

"Hmm? Kaiwen, it's been more than 20 years. Have you made any progress in Baiyue?" The beautiful woman turned over, and the light veil on her body fell off, which made people's hearts ripple.

However, just by turning over lightly, her body suddenly changed and began to swell.

From the previous charming woman, nine furry fox tails grew, and her body also changed rapidly. After this body turn, she has changed from a beauty to a huge monster, looking like a fox.

Golden-white hair, nine tails, as tall as a bodhi tree, full of terrifying charm, but those eyes seem to make people cast aside fear and calm down.

"Patriarch, the strange stone you gave me is broken, and a Buddhist child has seen through the illusion and got the five elements of demon blood in it." said Master Kaiwen.

Daginitian wagged his tail: "Good news, who is that Buddhist child? He can actually see through the cover of the five elements of demon blood directly. There are not many Buddhist children with such insight. Is he with you?"

Master Kaiwen said: "Not so, Patriarch, although he has the qualifications of a Buddhist child, his actual identity is the son of Wushen Mountain, named Li Qi. I have investigated that he is a disciple of Zhu Fengdan and is a Wu Li lineage, but Zhu Fengdan has exiled himself and has severed his relationship with the family for a long time, so Li Qi's relationship with Wushen Mountain is also relatively weak."

"Oh, this Buddhist child has already joined Wushen Mountain, so you don't know what to do, so you come to ask me?" asked Dajinitian, wagging his tail.

"That's right. Please don't blame me, Patriarch. Kaiwen... I really don't know what to do. Besides, this Buddhist disciple is in a very bad condition now, and I can't do anything about it." Kaiwen leaned over and said.

"The condition is very bad? What do you mean?" Tujinitian asked again.

"He got the Five Elements Demon Blood, but he directly tapped the Yintang acupoint between his eyebrows. His five elements were immediately suppressed by the demon blood and fell into a state of no thought, no thought, no knowledge, and no consciousness. I sent him back to the Lord of Lingxiao. It is said that they are going to the Humane Tang Kingdom. Maybe the Tang Kingdom has a way to solve it." Zen Master Kaiwen said seriously.

"Is that it? This is a good thing. What are you worried about?" Tujinitian smiled easily after listening.

Kaiwen was anxious and looked up in confusion and said, "Good thing? If he can't get rid of the Five Elements Demon Blood, then this Buddhist disciple might-"

"I'm afraid he will die. I know that the one who died is the son of Wushenshan, and the one who survived is the Buddhist disciple. It's the same as what the Buddhist verses say, isn't it?" Tujinitian said indifferently.

Kaiwen was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to react.

I have to say... Dajinitian, what he said makes sense.

If he died, he died as the son of Wushen Mountain. Although he has the qualifications of a Buddhist, he is not a recognized Buddhist after all.

If he is alive, it means that he has seen through the illusion and will surely have a great enlightenment. It is only a matter of time before he finally converts to Buddhism. It may take a long time, but it doesn't matter.

Is this the true meaning of Dajinitian's prophecy?

Kaiwen was stunned. He was still worried about Li Qi's safety, so he directly contacted Xitian at a great cost, but he didn't expect to get such an answer.

"Your expression is very interesting. Are you worried about the man named Li Qi?" Dajinitian moved closer to the screen, and his fox face was almost attached to the water curtain.

"To be honest, it is true. He is a Buddhist child. The lineage of Tujinitian, our Baichen Fox clan, needs a Buddhist child. Isn't this the reason why you, the clan leader, asked me to come to Baiyue? That Buddhist verse has revealed everything." Zen Master Kaiwen said.

"Don't worry, Kaiwen, don't worry... We do need a Buddhist child, but it's only twenty years now. We don't have much time, but we can still wait for about four thousand years." Tujinitian returned to his lazy look, lying down, curled up, wrapped himself up with his tail, leaving only his face outside.

"But the Five Elements Demon Blood is on him. If he dies because of this, what should we do with the Five Elements Demon Blood?" Kaiwen was very anxious. Four thousand years is not short, but it is definitely not long. It is definitely not enough to find the second drop of the Five Elements Demon Blood.

The Five Elements Demon is also a famous demon.

"The five aggregates of demon blood are indestructible. Even if the demon thoughts in them have long been wiped out by Mahakala and turned into part of the magic weapon, the demon blood itself, like those demon heads, has the nature of indestructibility and will not be lost so easily." Dajinite said with a smile: "If you are only worried about this, then you can rest assured."

"Since the clan leader is so assured, then... the disciple will take his leave." Master Kaiwen sighed.

Dajinite is not anxious, so why is he anxious?

The communication was cut off, the water curtain dissipated, turned into many light spots, and dissipated into different air.

Master Kaiwen sighed again.

It is true that the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is anxious. He is anxious here, but Dajinite himself is still leisurely and contented. Is everything under control?

The Buddhist verses predicted the appearance of the Buddha's son.

The arrival of Li Qi confirmed the correctness of the verse, so Dajininitian was not in a hurry?

Or did Dajininitian actually make up his mind to ask Wushen Mountain to save his life?

But does Wushen Mountain have a way to suppress the five elements of demon blood?

This should be something that only great bodhisattvas and above can do. The Buddhist sect and the demons have been confronting each other for countless years, and each has developed a method to target the other side. Wushen Mountain does not have these means.

Forget it, there is no point in thinking about these.

Dajininitian should have his own considerations, and it is not his turn as a small envoy to think about it here.

Whether Li Qi lives or dies, he should eventually recover the five elements of demon blood, so it is better to prepare for this matter.

Tang Kingdom...

That place is not very friendly to outsiders. The enlightened monk Jiashemoteng went there and built the White Horse Temple. I don’t know how much he paid behind the scenes.

However... the Buddhist temple under his feet, Fengde Temple, seems to be the foot of the White Horse Temple, and the Lord of Lingxiao has a lot of relationship with the White Horse Temple.

Master Kaiwen fell into deep thought.

However, at this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

Hmm? Fengde Temple should know that it is in contact with the West at this time, and no one will come to disturb it. Who is it?

Master Kaiwen stood up and was about to ask a question when he heard a voice from outside the door: "Brother Kaiwen, I am Hengxin, you should have heard of me."

Hengxin?

If Li Qi was here, then Li Qi would understand that this is the 'high monk of the White Horse Temple' he wanted to find, not Master Kaiwen from the Western Regions.

However, Master Kaiwen naturally knew who Hengxin was.

It was the high monk stationed in Fengde Temple from the White Horse Temple, but Fengde Temple said before that he was in retreat, so Master Kaiwen was not convenient to bother him, so he didn't go to find him. Unexpectedly, he actually took the initiative to come to the door at this moment.

Is his retreat over?

Or... he has never been in retreat at all?

To be honest, the monks from the West have some prejudice against the White Horse Temple, because the White Horse Temple has long been independent and is unwilling to accept the scriptures of the West.

However, Kaiwen had to meet him anyway.

Master Kaiwen walked over and opened the door.

Outside the door was a bald monk who was very old, about 70 or 80 years old.

“Brother Hengxin, I don’t know why—” Kaiwen was stuck in the middle of his sentence.

Because his heart was pierced by a black blade.
