Chapter 863 The Tenth Life Debate
Before coming, I knew I was destined to never go back!
The words of the young monk Shenxiu made Fang Xing seem to be confused. After learning that the young monk was captured, he rushed over without any delay. He also wanted to understand in his heart that he would admit defeat this time. , returned the Buddha's son to them in good condition, and tried another way to get the Taishang Dao Sutra, but this time I didn't think about it for the time being, and took the little monk Shenxiu back first!
For him, this was really a huge concession, but he never expected that he would not be able to do this from the beginning.
Suddenly, his anger surged into his head, and he looked at Bei Mingqingdi fiercely.
"I thought you just wanted to force me to let your monk go, but I didn't expect you wanted to harm little monk Shenxiu!"
His fierce gaze made Bei Mingqingdi's heart tremble, and he staggered back a few steps, waving his hands and saying, "I don't have one..."
She didn't even dare to look at Fang Xing. She looked directly at Shenxiu and said with a cry: "Little monk, I really didn't expect that this would cost your life. I didn't know about this... I really don’t know. I thought that if I just asked Fang Xing to let Buddha go, I could let him take you back. If I had known that this would harm you, I would never have done this... You believe me... …”
As she spoke, she subconsciously stepped forward, as if she wanted to unlock the rune prison around Shenxiu.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Bei Mingxiao stepped forward, pushed her aside, and shouted coldly: "What do you mean by harming him? This is the wheel of cause and effect in Buddhism, the result that was destined ten thousand years ago. I promoted this matter for Buddhism to happen a hundred years in advance. , he is a great hero in Buddhism, with at least one hundred thousand merit points on the merit list. In Baiduan Mountain, our Beiming family will be allocated the largest territory, do you think it is worth it?"
This round of scolding left Bei Mingqing Dixun speechless. He just looked at Fang Xing as if pleading, and his voice was full of helplessness and pleading: "I really don't want to... This is really I didn’t know that before…”
"When I chop off your head, I will definitely make amends to you!"
Fang Xing roared angrily, his eyes showing murderous intent.
Suddenly, he suddenly turned around, grabbed the collar of the black-clothed Buddha, and ran away.
He didn't believe that the day of debate was destined to come when two people met each other. Since he couldn't save Shenxiu at the moment, he simply kidnapped this Buddhist disciple again. One of the two Buddhist disciples was missing. Let's see how they argued. , if it doesn't work, he can still be ruthless and find an opportunity to kill this Buddha. If he wants to argue, let Shenxiu argue with a dead man. No matter how stupid the little monk is, how can he not be able to scold a dead man?
It's a pity that even though he has thought about everything, he can no longer control the progress of the matter.
The protective monks of Bian'an Temple saw through Fang Xing's thoughts at this time, and they lost all the anger and tension at the beginning. Instead, they showed compassion in their eyes, lowered their heads at the same time, and silently recited the scriptures. From these The monks started, and the monks from other tribes also started chanting sutras. Even Beiming Xiao was no exception, while Beiming Qingdi looked confused for a long time before gently closing his eyes.
Among the surrounding heavens, only Fang Xing and Qing Donkey did not recite sutras.
They rushed into the sky, rushing left and right, looking fierce and trying to escape.
However, as the endless and mysterious chanting sounds rang out around them, they suddenly felt like they were stuck in a quagmire.
Buzz buzz...
The sound of endless chanting seemed to fill every inch of space in the surrounding valley, surrounding him. Those scriptures even revealed the true words of the Buddha with dazzling golden light, and came from every person who was chanting. The top of the Pure Land monk's head rose up and slowly floated towards the Nine Heavens. Then, from above the Nine Heavens, there were vaguely gorgeous petals falling down one by one, like fallen flowers.
The sky is full of excitement!
"Donor, I know you are sincere in your thoughts, but the cause and effect have already been determined, so why force it?"
In Fang Xing's hands, the Buddha in black who was caught by him suddenly spoke at this moment.
The talisman seal that had been sealed on his mouth disappeared without a trace at some point.
At this time, he was also sitting cross-legged, as if the void was taking root, holding him in the air. Even though Fang Xing's one hand had a strength of two hundred thousand kilograms, he was unable to pull him at this moment, and he was torn apart. He took off his clothes, and then watched the figure of the black-clothed Buddha rising far into the air as if being blown by the wind. Fang Xing wanted to rush over and catch him, but was forced back by an invisible force.
The Buddha in black clothes sits in the void, with nine Buddha lights appearing above his head, just like the incarnation of a true Buddha.
At this moment, the Shenxiu in the rune prison also soared up, facing the black-clothed Buddha from a hundred feet away.
One black and one white, twin Buddhas, hundreds of feet apart, both looking at each other silently.
Between them, the golden Buddha's light seemed to collide, then rose up and vaguely changed, and suddenly on the left side of the two of them, it turned into the phantom of a giant Buddha standing tall against the sky and the ground, with its outline visible but whose appearance could not be clearly seen. The Buddha's hands are clasped together, and his body is covered with golden scriptures. His eyes are faint, compassionate and silent, looking at the black and white Buddha sitting cross-legged on his chest.
"The body is like a bodhi tree, and the mind is like a mirror. Always brush it diligently to prevent dust..."
Pieces of golden clouds appeared all around, and a clear and proud voice sounded among the clouds. Everyone looked up and saw the illusion that appeared in the clouds. A young monk dressed in monk robes like snow, with an unusually handsome young monk holding a white lotus in his hand, stood before the Buddha. The audience recited the Buddha's greeting softly, and as the Sanskrit sound spread throughout the Mahavira Hall, smallpox fell from the nine heavens, and the fairy sound was faint. All the monks bowed their heads and thanked him for teaching the Buddha's teachings...
The Buddha opened his eyes and nodded slightly. The young monk was satisfied and ready to inherit the inheritance of the true Buddha.
"This method can enable people in the world to practice Buddhism and learn Buddhism, but it cannot help people in the world become Buddhas!"
When the monks bowed down and the Buddha nodded, a black-robed monk sweeping the floor spoke, attracting countless gazes.
"I have a message that can explain the meaning of Buddhism!"
The monk in black clothes sweeping the floor saluted the Buddha and chanted: "Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the first place, so how can it cause dust!"
The world was silent, the monks were speechless, the young monks were stunned, and the Buddha smiled.
"So, you can teach me the great way, Shenxiu, are you convinced?"
The Buddha spoke and looked at the young monk, shocking the world.
"Disciple is not convinced!"
The young monk frowned and his voice spread throughout Lingshan Mountain and all over the world.
The scene changed, and it became again under the ancient pine trees, where two monks, black and white, were arguing on the top of the mountain for their thousand-year appointment.
"Junior brother, a thousand years have passed, and you still haven't realized it?"
"My way is not wrong, so why should I enlighten it?"
The monk in white clothes said: "Cultivation of Buddhism means self-cultivation, just like climbing a mountain and climbing step by step. Senior brother only tells people about the scenery on the top of the mountain, but does not point out the path. How can people climb up the mountain and eventually become a Buddha? This is I won’t take it if I seek the fruit and discard the cause..."
"The top of the mountain is empty, all things are empty, and the Buddha is also empty, so there is no need to practice. Once you have enlightenment, you will be at ease!"
Two thousand years ago, black and white monks argued on the sea, the wind was blowing and the clouds were gone, and the sky and the earth were clear and bright.
"Junior brother, two thousand years have passed, and you still haven't realized it?"
"My way is not wrong, so why should I enlighten it?"
The monk in white clothes opened his mouth and pointed at the sea: "All living beings seek truth and spirituality, which is the reality of the world. Senior brother said that everything is empty, so aren't these fish and shrimps real? Aren't all things in this sea real? Tens of thousands of years later, the sea will change endlessly, and there is a reason to rely on it. , My Buddha is sitting in the void, looking down on the world. For eternity, one thought arises and perishes. If the ultimate Buddhahood loses itself, how can we see this piece of reality?"
"The mystery of heaven and earth has its own cause and effect, its own rules of the road, and it cycles back and forth. No matter how everything changes, no matter the vicissitudes of the sea, if you see it, it is there. If you don't see it, it will not exist. When annihilation comes, everything will be empty, so why bother? People go to see his reality?”
The endless scenes change. The two monks argue repeatedly on the mountain, in the sea, in the world of mortals, on the battlefield, and outside the sky. The monk in white loses the argument again and again, but is still dissatisfied. He is reincarnated again and again, looking for proof of himself. Unfortunately, in every debate, the Buddhist monk in black always got the better of him. Gradually, the monk in white spoke less and less and became taciturn...
"Junior brother, nine thousand years have passed, haven't you enlightened yet?"
"My way is not wrong, so why should I enlighten it?"
The monk in white smiled sadly and sighed: "However, senior brother, after nine thousand years, I have also understood that you cultivate the void and I cultivate perfection. The two of us are going farther and farther on this path. It seems that there will be no more Reconciliation is possible!”
"Junior brother, you should know that my Buddhist principles are better than yours, so why should you be persistent?"
"Brother's Buddhist teachings are better than mine, but it's a pity that I think my own path is the right one. What you cultivate is emptiness, and what you seek is fruit, but I am willing to cultivate perfection, and I am willing to pursue the cause and the fruit. No matter whether you are practicing Buddhism or Taoism, in the end, Valuing myself, even though I know that your Buddhist principles are the true meaning, I will never give up on myself. This may be persistence, but it is my whole life of practicing and enlightening, cultivating my body, cultivating my mind, cultivating Buddhism, and cultivating the perfect path!"
"Since you are attached to yourself, you will never see Buddhahood!"
"My Buddha is between cause and effect, and my Tao is above body and mind. If I don't have myself, even if I achieve Buddhahood, where will it be?"
"Junior brother, you lose!"
"I lost. The Buddha asked us how to practice Buddhism. I have lost on this issue!"
"Theoretically, I should achieve Buddhahood in this life, but if you have regrets in your heart, I will stay with you for another thousand years. I hope you can have an answer!"
…
…
Endless pictures and Zen principles emerged from the golden cloud and spread into the hearts of the cultivators present. They represented the process of the nine world debates between the twin Buddhas, and also represented the collision of two Buddhist concepts. That is Fang Xing. I don’t understand Buddhism, but after this golden cloud enveloped me, I gradually became enlightened, understood what Shenxiu meant by argument, and also understood where Shenxiu lost...
"Smelly monk, what a void Buddha, if you have the ability, you will destroy yourself!"
Fang Xing was so excited that he jumped up high and shouted to the Buddhist disciple in black: "My junior brother is right!"
It's a pity that no one listens to his words.
In the sky, two Buddha statues faced each other from a distance. The monk in black opened his eyes and looked at them with deep eyes: "Junior brother, are you still not enlightened?"
Shenxiu also opened his eyes, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Brother, is my way really wrong?"
