Chapter 846 Getting Involved...

General Rolling Shutter lost his uniform, and he didn't recite the Buddha's name when he spoke. His peaceful demeanor was mixed with viciousness. I don't know why he has never been as honest and honest as the one described in "Journey to the West", or in the past eight hundred years. caused by the accident.

After all, eight hundred years is enough to change too many things.

"Dare to ask Venerable, what about those who are chasing me?" Anyang looked very humbly at the former general of the heavenly court, later the golden body Arhat, and now a recluse.

"Are them?" Sha Seng smiled nonchalantly, "Unfortunately, he stumbled and fell into the river."

"In the river?"

Anyang hurriedly looked into the river.

However, Seng Sha waved his hand: "Don't look at it, this river is so deep, you should be drowned if you fall."

drowned...

Anyang's mouth twitched, but he recovered.

"So, thank you sir."

"No thanks, no thanks." Sha Seng said, "Drink tea, drink tea."

Anyang was not cautious, he took a sip of tea from a thick porcelain cup, just some ordinary thick tea. He put the cup down, and also put down his heart—

With the former Rolling Shutter General and the Golden Body Arhat here, he doesn't need to worry about the people from the Demon Palace coming after him again.

After a pause, he asked again, "Dare to ask if Venerable is waiting for me here for Guangli Bodhisattva?"

"Yes." Sha Monk said, "After all, that little white dragon is also my former junior brother. Hehe, he was suppressed by the former Lingtai Fangcunshan for more than 700 years. He thought we didn't know, but we did. Everyone knows it."

"It's just that there's too much going on here."

"I can't save him alone, and Marshal Tianpeng can't save him alone. I don't want to look for the marshal, and the marshal will also look for me in the future. Besides, the little white dragon probably didn't want to come out before, so this matter has been put on hold. Now he After I figured it out, I released the Dinghai Divine Pearl, the intention is already obvious, I am afraid that our brothers have to move..."

"So we have to wait for Marshal Tianpeng?"

"Yes." Sha Monk said, "Fortunately, the Marshal didn't die in battle eight hundred years ago, otherwise the little white dragon might not be able to come out."

"Little White Dragon..."

Anyang's mouth twitched.

After a pause, he asked again, "Where is Marshal Peng now?"

"Who knows, after the Marshal attained the status of the Bodhisattva Messenger of the Pure Altar of Namo on the road to the west, he once faced Nagarjuna Bodhisattva in the turmoil, and then he was defeated and suffered some serious injuries. To recuperate, we have to find a place to wait for him."

"The messenger of the Pure Altar and Nagarjuna Bodhisattva are right?"

Anyang was very surprised. He never expected that the delicious and lazy Zhu Bajie in the film and television work would have such a strong side.

But if you think about it, Marshal Tianpeng used to be the 'commander-in-chief of the navy' after all. When he came to this world, he had heard of the illustrious achievements of the Tianhe Navy in patrolling the land and the chaotic demons. I think Marshal Tianpeng would not be weak. of. In addition, after losing his power and embarking on the westward journey, he fought all the way to prove the Tao, and Marshal Tianpeng would definitely not be a generalist.

In fact, there are various interpretations on the Internet in the real world about "Zhu Bajie is actually more powerful than Sun Wukong", but Anyang just laughed it off.

"What about the Monkey King?"

"Heh, Monkey King." Sha Seng put on a smile on his face, "There's no such thing as Monkey King, only fighting to defeat the Buddha."

"What about fighting the holy Buddha?"

"I don't know, since he has become a Buddha, he should fight for Buddhism. There are many experts in Heaven, even if he has become a Buddha, he is not guaranteed to be safe." Sha Seng said with a lot of emotion on his face, "Maybe who has fallen. The hand of the Heavenly Court Immortal Great God."

"..."

Anyang was full of shock.

Buddha means the Great Perfection, the highest level that Buddhism can reach, and the inconceivable power...

In fact, there are six Buddhas in the whole "Journey to the West", one is the leader of the former Buddhism, the ancient Buddha burned the lamp, the other is the current leader, the Great Sun Tathagata, and the other is designated by the Great Sun Tathagata to become a Buddha in the future. The future Buddha, the successor of the Great Sun Tathagata, Maitreya Buddha.

The other two are Tang Seng and Sun Wukong, one has attained the Buddha status of the merits and virtues of Nanwu Chantan sandalwood, and the other has attained the status of the Buddha status of victory over Nanwu fighting.

No one can think of the sixth Buddha——

Guanyin.

Guanyin Bodhisattva himself is a Buddha, called Zhengjue Ming Tathagata, and like the Great Sun Tathagata, he has his own Buddha country. He made a great vow, specially transformed into a Bodhisattva, and came here to save all beings.

The practice of transforming the Buddha into a Bodhisattva to influence the common people is a famous allusion in the Buddhist scriptures - driving Cihang backwards.

far away!

In Journey to the West, only the great sage Monkey King became a Buddha was written, but he did not write about what this Buddha in the name of fighting looked like.

But it should be unbelievably powerful, but Sand Monk said that he might fall.

After reacting, Anyang put the Dinghai Divine Pearl on the table, and folded his hands together and said, "Venerable, while you are here waiting for Marshal Tianpeng, can you tell me what happened hundreds of years ago."

"What happened hundreds of years ago?" Sha Seng smiled, "Yes!"

He picked up his teacup and began to narrate.

The narration at the beginning is similar to what Anyang has heard sporadically these days.

The internal battles in the heavenly court, the formation of gangs, the decay of the regime, and the mistakes of the Jade Emperor have gradually become rotten, and at the same time, the world's demons have emerged, and the people's lives have been miserable. Some of the top Taoist gods may be out of disappointment with the heavenly court, or they may be constrained by others, and they did not intervene strongly when the war broke out.

The Tianting Military Department was also in turmoil, and the famous Marshal Tianpeng was demoted to the mortal world, which is evident. Such a heaven is already equal to a knight who has lost his sword.

Rao is so, Buddhism is also careful, sent westbound to test.

When the war was first provoked, as expected, the rotten regime of the Heavenly Court still burst into the power of the ruler, but then taking advantage of the troubled times, the Buddhist idea of ​​blissful rebirth was widely accepted by the people of the world, and the power of the road to the west began. It shows that Heavenly Court is somewhat powerless, and only strong generals and ancient immortals with high mana are left to resist.

At this critical moment, Buddhism also had a problem.

It was the battle between Theravada Buddhism and Mahayana Buddhism.

In fact, people always have a subjective judgment. It is easy to think that Theravada Buddhism is inferior to Mahayana Buddhism, that Theravada Buddhism is wrong, and Mahayana Buddhism is right.

But this perception is not entirely correct.

Just like general relativity and special relativity, even if general relativity is born, no one will abolish special relativity. What they say is different. Neither Theravada Buddhism nor Mahayana Buddhism is right or wrong. It can only be said that the concepts of the two are different. At most, it is just that which one is more superior to the other and is more adaptable to the times.

In general, the Theravada Buddhism transcends oneself, and the Mahayana Buddhism transcends others.

Putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the ground is a typical practice of Theravada Buddhism. The same is true for the saying of 'Three Pure Meat', as long as I eat meat with a clear conscience, I can 'wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha's heart will stay'.

The representative figure is the Great Sun Tathagata.

(Anyone who links the Tathagata Buddha in the Journey to the West world with the Shakyamuni Buddha in the real world is a hooligan, even Baidu Baike is a hooligan!)

But Mahayana Buddhism is different.

Mahayana Buddhism is not simply about letting go of oneself, but also guides all sentient beings to bliss and purifies the world.

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva gave up his status as a Buddha, rode in reverse, willing to incarnate as a Bodhisattva to save all beings in this world; Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva made a big vow, and vowed not to become a Buddha if hell is not empty. These are typical Mahayana schools of Buddhism. compassionate heart.

The two sects eventually clashed.

The headmaster of Lingshan—Dari Tathagata launched a war to seize the control of the world from the corrupt heaven, to save people from the dire straits of heaven’s rule, to guide the world to live in the land of bliss, and to make people devoutly cultivate Buddha.

The deaths and tragedies caused in the process were regarded as necessary sacrifices by him, and he deliberately ignored them.

The faction headed by Guanyin Bodhisattva believes that this approach is wrong, and the increasingly turbulent world is an ironclad proof that the human world can no longer withstand the vicissitudes of life. Besides, people also have the right to cultivate Buddhahood and live in bliss, and should not be interfered by human beings.

The two factions sparked disputes within Lingshan.

This is a pure battle of ideas. There is no internal conflict that has accumulated in the heaven for thousands of years. It is dark and dirty, but it is more intense when it is displayed on the bright side, and it erupts almost instantly.

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva left his Buddhist country and came here because of his great vows, and he was subservient to the Great Sun Tathagata for the sake of purifying the world. Meaning), of course, you will not be afraid of the Great Sun Tathagata.

The battle of ideas between the two sides provided a respite for the rotten heaven. In the process, many hidden ancient immortals and world-shaking demons were involved in the war.

For example, the ancestor of earth immortals - Daxian Zhenyuanzi.

For example, Sun Wukong's master, Patriarch Subhuti.

For example, the former Marshal Tianpeng, who has not asked about the world for a long time, is now the Bodhisattva Bodhisattva, the messenger of the Nanmo Jingtan - Zhu Bajie!

And this war continued until later, and almost fell into a confrontation between the two forces, and no one could do anything about the other.

Or rather, the confrontation of one's own forces——

The Mahayana Buddhism and Theravada Buddhism of Buddhism, the ancient gods, the new gods, the fierce schools, the Zhaoan demons, the Sanxian schools, the ancient Daxian schools, and so on...

When Anyang heard it, he was surprised to discover that in the original novel of Journey to the West, it was Guanyin Bodhisattva who asked Tang Seng to travel west to get Buddhist scriptures, and it was Guanyin Bodhisattva who enlightened the disciples. In Chang'an City, it was Guanyin Bodhisattva who rebuked Tang Xuanzang for practicing Theravada Buddhism... …

Although this road to the west was pointed out by the Great Sun Tathagata, the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara had planned for a long time.

And whether the Buddha Dharma propagated in the westbound is Theravada Buddhism or Mahayana Buddhism, no one knows, and Sha Seng refused to say. No one can say for sure whether the group of five who have attained the fruition status after traveling west is on the side of the Mahayana faction of Buddhism or the Hinayana faction.

In short, the sand monk in front of him remains neutral.

Marshal Tianpeng chose to return to Heaven and eradicate those who framed him, so the monk Sand still called him the Marshal.

Nanwu Babu Tianlong Guangli Bodhisattva and Nanwu Fighting over Buddha chose to fight for Buddhism. The former is now suppressed under Fangcun Mountain in Lingtai, and the latter is still missing like other great gods in Heaven and Lingshan. .

Anyang felt as if he was involved in the battle between Heavenly Court and Lingshan in the past - as long as he released the white dragon, it would be equivalent to releasing a powerful general for Lingshan.
