Chapter 1030 The Hidden Monk
On the edge of the East China Sea and Dayu, in the boundless mountains, there is a platform on the hillside of an unknown green mountain. A small wooden Zen temple stands on this platform, surrounded by green pines and ancient trees.
This place is inconspicuous, but it is a wonderful paradise. Green mountains are surrounded by clear water, and spiritual veins gather under the base of the mountain. A méngméng purple energy rushes straight into the sky along the mountain, turning into dense clouds and lingering all year round.
This Zen monastery has three courtyards at the front and back, and each entrance has three halls on the left, right and middle. Although the scale is extremely small, it is still impressive. On weekdays, there is only one young monk who looks no more than a teenager in charge of the monastery. There are dozens of monks in the monastery who are speechless all year round, and there are more than a dozen fire-headed Taoists who are busy with chores. This is the situation of this temple.
Since the arrival of the Outer Realm in Pangu, the Immortal Sects from the Outer Realm have been occupying the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, and the Wuge Mountain where this Zen Temple is located has also been targeted. This green mountain is not high and inconspicuous, but it is an extremely rare place for the surrounding spiritual dragons to meet. It is a huge mountain range that stretches for hundreds of millions of miles. This green mountain is the heart of the mountain range. You can imagine how much jealousy it has attracted. patient.
Over the past few years, there have been dozens of outside immortals and Buddhist cultivators who have shamelessly calculated on this dojo called Dalong Temple. But whether you use the skills of your tongue or roll up your sleeves and speak directly with your muscles, In short, Master Bajie, the host of this monastery, only releases a ray of Hinayana immovable Vajra Buddha light to protect the green mountain. No matter how you attack or toss it, this monastery remains immobile and no one can take advantage of it.
Master Bajie’s cultivation is not very high. What he usually shows is that the peak of the Heavenly Immortal is close to the level of the Golden Immortal. He has not been seen using any powerful attack on the Buddha’s Dharma. He can only practice the Hinayana Immovable Vajra Buddha’s Light. Out of perfection. There were once several middle-level golden immortals who led their disciples to aggressively besiege Dalong Temple, but they were never able to break through the thin layer of Buddha's light, and they had no choice but to retreat.
When it comes to defense and long-lasting strength, Buddhism is uniquely endowed with all kinds of Buddha's light and divine light. No one can take advantage of Master Bajie.
This kind of thing happened so often that many immortal sects who found a paradise in the nearby mountains and set up their gates changed the name of Dalong Zen Temple to Wugui Zen Temple. What they mean is that Master Bajie never confronts anyone head-on, and only knows how to hide in the monastery behind closed doors.
After several years of hard work, Dalong Temple has become famous among the hundreds of small and large immortal sects in this mountain range. Gradually, some lone Buddhist cultivators have stayed in Dalong Temple. Master Bajie welcomes all comers. , as long as you seriously follow the Buddhist rules and request to place an order in Dalong Chanyuan, and swear not to do anything that threatens Dalong Chanyuan, he will let you live in Dalong Chanyuan at will.
When the dozens of side halls of Dalong Zen Monastery were filled with monks, Master Bajie led his people to cut down trees and plants to expand the Zen Monastery. In just a few years, the courtyard of Dalong Zen Monastery occupies less than half of the mountain. There are also thousands of Buddhist monks who follow Master Bajie. They have suddenly become a significant force in this unknown mountain range. .
Moreover, these monks stationed in Xi also discovered that although Master Bajie’s magical power is not high, his attainments in the essence of Buddhism are simply incredible. Some people assert that Master Bajie’s Buddhist scriptures are enough to compete with the top golden immortals. Comparable.
Gradually, the reputation of Dalong Chanyuan spread, and the immortals and Buddhist cultivators who had attacked Dalong Chanyuan suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Bajie Bald Donkey's cultivation was not very good, and a layer of Buddha's light could not be torn apart, and his feelings Has his Buddhist philosophy reached that level?
It's no wonder. "Buddhist Feng suddenly enlightened and became a Buddha. As long as you are profound in Buddhism, anything can happen. Monk Bajie used the cultivation of an Arhat to resist the golden immortals and Bodhisattvas without falling." This shows how far his Buddhism has come. degree.
In the blink of an eye, a few years have passed." There are 20,000 old monks, great monks, and young monks in Dalong Temple. After all, his reputation has spread. Master Bajie also accepted seven or eight qualifications for enlightenment. Gao Qiu, especially a registered disciple with good character, always said that he still had a master who was practicing in seclusion near the Zen monastery. Without the master's promise, he did not dare to really accept disciples, so he could only accept a few registered disciples first. The disciples hang out together.
Outsiders have to believe what Master Bajie said. Back then, in order to occupy the foundation of Dalong Temple, this mountain was scanned countless times with spiritual consciousness. There were no monks who were practicing in seclusion. If Master Bajie really had such a reclusive master, why didn't he ask his master to come forward when he was forced to come to the door?
If nothing else, Bajie himself has a cultivation level that is close to that of a Bodhisattva. Shouldn’t his master be at the Buddha’s level? How is this possible? How many Buddhas are there in the Great Vulture Mountain of Buddhism? There are also Buddhas who practice Buddhism, but they are very few. Isn’t it possible that there is only one in this poor mountain ravine?
Outsiders just laughed at Bajie's words and didn't take them seriously. Bald donkeys can also lie. Outsiders just took it as a joke.
Time flies, and the Ling Dynasty is destroyed in the blink of an eye. The Jing Dynasty cooperates with the demon army to sweep across the southern and eastern borders of Yu. This mountainous area located at the junction of the East China Sea and Dayu, far from the southern border, is also threatened by the demon army. Now the demon army is still busy gathering the immortals and casual cultivators in Lingchao, but sooner or later they will come here to capture the immortals.
It is impossible to escape to the territory of Dayu." It is purely asking for death. There is no way out to Dongjiang. The army of Jing Dynasty has swept there. The army of the demon god and the army of Jing Dynasty have swept away one by one Dongjiang Jiben and surrendered to Ling Dynasty. The major immortal sects. What about Xiangnan Xinjiang?
Those Buddhist monks thought there would be no serious problems. After all, Jing Dynasty now controls the power of southern Xinjiang. Buddhism is not a problem, but the immortals are going crazy.
There is no way out in the southeast, northwest, heaven or earth. The outer starry sky has been invaded by demons, and heaven is being attacked by demons. There are at least five hundred Taoist sects in this nameless mountain range. The largest one has more than 100,000 disciples, and the smallest one has more than 7,000 immortals and monks. Including the mortal relatives and clansmen of these immortal monks, the population is no less than that of a sixth-grade state in Dayu.
Faced with the embarrassing situation of the Taoist immortals, those Buddhist cultivators sighed and raised their eyebrows and laughed. Some Buddhist sects began to collude. While contacting the Jingchao army, they prepared to wash away the mountains and take all the cave heavens and blessed lands as their own. People monitor the surroundings and watch every move of those immortal sects. They are ready. As soon as Jingchao's army moves, they will immediately lead the way for Jingchao's army and wipe out all the immortal sects here.
At this critical moment, the gate of Dalong Temple suddenly opened wide.
Monk Bajie is sitting cross-legged in the sky above Dalong Temple. He releases a stream of white energy from his head and shoots straight into the sky. Three fist-sized birth relics are spinning above his head. Three lotus platforms hold up his birth relics. Look at his breath and the lotus platform. The appearance of the relic showed that he had already attained the status of Bodhisattva at some point, and already had the same strength as the Taoist Golden Immortal.
Monk Bajie shouted softly: "The young monk, on the orders of Master Dayi, opened the mountain gate to protect fellow Taoists from all walks of life. Regardless of Buddhism, immortality, or even monsters, all living beings are equal. As long as they are within the mountain gate of my Dalong Chanyuan, they will not have any evil thoughts or thoughts. With a compassionate heart, no one can hurt your life."
These words were repeated forty-nine times in succession, and the sound spread throughout the vast mountainous area.
The Taoist immortals were certainly stunned for a while, and the Buddhist cultivators were even more confused.
They were surprised to see Master Bajie floating in the air and emitting immeasurable Buddha light shining in all directions. Some Buddhist cultivators even secretly cursed Bajie as a thief. He had already attained the status of a Bodhisattva and had to act from the position of a Bodhisattva. He should help Jingchao's army deal with those Taoist immortals." How could he in turn protect those dead cow noses?
Of course, the essence of Buddhism is compassion and equality for all living beings, but that is just a slogan. When faced with huge interests, "Buddha's hands will be stained with blood, and Bodhisattva will also get angry and kill people. Slogans are just slogans. Bajie, the thief, will not take the slogans that fool ordinary people and followers seriously, right? That is really Buddhism. The tragedy.
Immediately, a great monk who had reached a high level of Bodhisattva status, probably at the level of a third-grade Bodhisattva, swayed on a cloud of incense and flew to Master Bajie. He folded his hands in salute to Bajie and said in a deep voice: "Senior Brother Bajie," what you said is wrong. The Jingchao army sweeping across the world and sweeping away the demonic atmosphere is a sign of the great prosperity of our Buddhist sect. If you protect these Taoist demons, isn't it going against the will of the Buddha? "
Bajie gave the monk a cold look and suddenly asked, "Buddha taught you to kill? Buddha taught you to set fire? Buddha taught you to ignore death? Buddha taught you to add insult to injury? Buddha taught you to have murderous intentions? Buddha taught you to be greedy. Resentful, angry?"
The great monk was stunned. There was cold sweat on his forehead. He really had nothing to say.
Bajie casually hit a Buddha Qiang, and he shouted coldly: "How can people who are ignorant, immoral, and unscrupulous be included in the Buddhist sect with me?"
The Buddha's light was silent, seemingly light and delicate, but it fell on the great monk as heavy as Mount Tai. The great monk howled miserably and was knocked away by a light ray of Buddha's light, which immediately knocked his Buddhist cultivation back from the level of a third-grade Bodhisattva. Reach the level of third-grade Arhat.
All the immortals and Buddhist cultivators who witnessed all this with their spiritual consciousness were horrified. "The aura on Bajie's body is only at the level of an eighteenth-grade Bodhisattva, but he can easily knock a third-grade Bodhisattva out of the sky."
To what extent has his Buddhist cultivation reached?
The huge mountain range was silent, and suddenly a voice like a dragon's roar but full of compassion sounded from deep underground in Dalong Temple.
"My Buddha is merciful and saves all living beings. If they come into my door, they will be indestructible for all eons. Regardless of Taoism, Buddha, demons, womb-born or egg-born, wet-born evil creatures, birds or beasts, grass or trees, all living beings come into my door. I will break my body to pieces to protect him."
"Today, I, Venerable Dayi, have made my heavenly pledge to protect all living beings in the world and become enlightened. Anyone who recites my Taoist name, Venerable Dayi, and respects me as their guru will be protected by me, and will endure millions of calamities and millions of demons. You can't hurt my disciples with your head. Anyone who regards me as a guru will definitely save him from the world of mortals and escape from the ghost realm after going through thousands of reincarnations."
Following this sonorous and powerful oath of alliance, Zhou Tianjin's brilliance floated down from high in the sky, strange fragrance enveloped the surrounding areas, and an absurdly strong thought force spread to all directions. All living beings who came into contact with this thought force, regardless of Taoism, Buddha, or demons and monsters, Regardless of the grass, insect or fish, they all kowtowed in the direction of Dalong Temple with great compassion.
At the same time, a powerful divine consciousness roared over and a strange sound rose into the sky.
"What a big oath. Hey, what ability do you have to dare to make such a big oath?"
………………………a.
