Chapter 45: The Tathagata of Good and Evil
"Jiang Rulai? The son of Jiang Lianshan?" Gu Hai frowned suddenly.
Gu Hai has been to Shennong City in the Great Yan Dynasty in the past, but there is no prince in Jianglian Mountain, the Great Yan Sage? Jiang Rulai?
"The present Buddha is called Jiang Rulai? How is that possible? Since he is a fake present Buddha, then other people in Lingshan Holy Land won't be able to see it?" Shangguan Hen frowned.
"Shangguanhen? You have obtained the inheritance of Xuanwu God, right?" Bodhisattva Liansheng said solemnly.
"Oh? That's right, everyone in the world knows it now!" Shangguan Hen asked in confusion.
"Since you have the inheritance of Xuanwu God, you should have heard of the name of the current Buddha in the past. Eight hundred thousand years ago, do you remember what the name of the current Buddha is?" asked the Bodhisattva Liansheng.
"Tathagata Heavenly Demon?" Shangguan Hen's expression changed.
"Why is it called Tathagata Heavenly Demon?" Bodhisattva Liansheng asked with a wry smile.
"It is said that 800,000 years ago, the current Buddha, one thought of mercy and one thought of evil. He saved one person and killed another. Half good and half evil, he roamed the west?" Shangguanhen recalled through Xuanwu God.
"That's right, do you know why?" Bodhisattva Liansheng said in a deep voice.
"Why?"
"Because the Buddha now has two thoughts, one thought is good, and the other is evil. It's like two people living in one body, sometimes the good person dominates, and sometimes the evil person dominates!" Bodhisattva Pitying Life sighed slightly.
"Oh? Dual personality?" Gu Hai's expression changed.
Liansheng Bodhisattva nodded: "Mr. Gu's statement is similar."
"In this way, it's a bit like Shangguanhen in the past, one body, two souls? And the other one belongs to Supreme Fengyue?" Gu Hai looked at Shangguanhen and asked.
Shangguanhen stared at Bodhisattva Liansheng: "What happened next?"
"The Tathagata Heavenly Demon, goodness is the Buddha's sage, and evil is the fierce demon. In the past, the Immortals of the Six Paths fought against the sky, and it was the body dominated by the Evil Tathagata. He led the Holy Land of Lingshan to assist the Immortals of the Six Paths, and achieved great heavenly skills!" Bodhisattva Liansheng sighed slightly.
"Evil Tathagata?" Gu Hai said in a deep voice.
"That's right, one thought of goodness and one thought of evil can be twins. Later, the differences between the two seemed to become more and more serious. In the end, the good Tathagata cut the evil Tathagata out of his body with great means, just like the former Xuanwu Supreme. The evil part was cut out. The evil Tathagata was cut out. The Holy Land of Lingshan became more and more solemn and merciful. The twins of the Evil Tathagata and the Good Tathagata were not killed, but were suppressed. Until the great death of the Buddha in the past Time. Evil Tathagata reincarnated as the son of Jiang Lianshan!" Bodhisattva Compassionate Life explained.
"Reincarnated as the son of Jiang Lianshan?" Gu Hai frowned.
"Yes, maybe Jiang Lianshan did it on purpose, maybe Evil Tathagata did it on purpose, or the two of them conspired together. Anyway, Evil Tathagata reincarnated into Jiang Rulai, became Jiang Lianshan's son, and got Jiang Lianshan's help!" Pity Bodhisattva Sigh slightly.
"What happened later?" Shangguan Hen frowned.
"After Jiang Rulai became stronger, he found me. Together with another person, he went to the Holy Land of Lingshan, asked the Buddha, and won the sect!" Bodhisattva Liansheng smiled wryly.
"Looking for you? Why? Which temple did the Liansheng Bodhisattva belong to before?" Shangguanhen asked doubtfully.
"Nalanda Temple!" Bodhisattva Liansheng solemnly said.
"Oh? The former master of Lingshan?" Shangguanhen asked in shock.
"That Landa Temple?" Gu Hai was slightly taken aback.
"The Tathagata Demon used to be a monk who went out from the Nalanda Temple and was also my senior brother. Later, the Nalanda Temple fell, and I guarded the Nalanda Temple, but the Holy Land of Lingshan was opened up by the Tathagata Demon and became a world. The largest place for monks and Buddhas." Liansheng Bodhisattva explained.
"Three questioners, you, Jiang Rulai, and one more, who is the current future Buddha?" Gu Hai asked suspiciously.
"Yes, the land of Shenzhou was 1,200 years ago. The three of us agreed to reorganize the Buddha of the Third Age and replace the Buddha of the Third Age in the Holy Land of Lingshan. Oh, that time, it was so tragic, blood flowed into rivers, crying loudly, goodness! In the end, the Buddha's heart was damaged, and the great silence disappeared, Lingshan was replaced by Jiang Rulai, and the future Buddha in the past was completely destroyed. It was so miserable that he was replaced by the future Buddha today." Bodhisattva Liansheng sighed slightly.
"What about the past Buddha? You should be running for the Buddha position of the past Buddha?" Gu Hai frowned.
"Past Buddha? He rebelled, which led to the tragic death of the former future Buddha!" Bodhisattva Liansheng smiled wryly.
"That is to say, the past Buddha betrayed Shan Tathagata, and Jiang Rulai and the future Buddha betrayed you? The three of them asked the Buddha together, and the two of them took the position, but you were excluded?" Gu Hai said in a deep voice.
Liansheng Bodhisattva sighed slightly and nodded.
"With resentment in your heart, you found my son Gu Han and found out that he was the reincarnation of Shan Tathagata. You want to use him to take revenge?" Gu Hai said coldly.
Liansheng Bodhisattva nodded bitterly: "Yes, originally, Gu Han and I have already started to rebuild the Nalanda Temple, but...!"
Gu Hai stared at Lian Sheng Bodhisattva for a long time before he took a deep breath: "Gu Han is safe?"
"Yes, Mr. Gu, I'm sorry!" Bodhisattva Liansheng saluted Gu Hai with a bitter expression on his face.
"Forget it, if the ancient man is really the reincarnation of Shan Tathagata, even if you don't take him away, he will be taken away by other monks sooner or later. No wonder, no wonder Jiang Rulai is in charge of the Holy Land of Lingshan. Complaints, it turns out that Jiang Rulai and Shan Tathagata were originally one person, just divided into good and evil." Gu Hai sighed slightly.
Pity Bodhisattva nodded.
"Mr. Gu, let's leave as soon as possible. Not long ago, I gave Gu Han an empowerment. My current cultivation level is only Zhongtian Palace. When the Buddha returns in the future, we will not be able to leave!" said Liansheng Bodhisattva.
"Let's go? Do you know how to go? I heard that you can only go out through the Samsara Pool?" Gu Hai asked suspiciously.
"Samsara Pond? Heh, it used to be the treasure of Nalanda Temple, but now it is controlled by Jiang Rulai. However, I still have a way to get out." Liansheng Bodhisattva said solemnly.
"oh?"
But he saw Bodhisattva Liansheng reaching out to take out a white jade bottle, gently uncorked the bottle, and immediately bursts of colorful light came out of the bottle.
Gu Hai looked down, but saw a colorful lotus inside. and a colorful lotus bud. Being kept in a bottle of liquid.
"This is?" Gu Hai asked suspiciously.
"The water in this bottle is the original water of the Samsara Pool, and this colorful lotus flower also grew in the Samsara Pool before!" Bodhisattva Liansheng explained.
"oh?"
"As long as you pick this 'Reincarnation Lotus' and the lotus flower withers, you will be able to open the exit of the Secret Realm of Reincarnation, and you can go out. The place to go is random. I don't know where it is, but you can go out!" Liansheng Bodhisattva solemnly said.
"Reincarnation Lotus? Go out?" Gu Hai asked suspiciously.
But I saw Bodhisattva Liansheng reach out and pick it up.
"Snapped!"
The rhizome that was picked off immediately withered, and then disappeared.
The plucked reincarnation lotus trembled slightly, and shot down a beam of colored light. The place covered by the colored light caused ripples in the void, and then a huge entrance appeared. It's like a channel.
The lotus is floating in the air, but it is rapidly withering.
"Mr. Gu, there is only one stick of incense left, shall we leave quickly?" Bodhisattva Liansheng invited.
Gu Hai looked at the magical entrance in front of him, and his expression changed: "Pity Bodhisattva, I still have a friend in this hell, I wonder if it's okay?"
"Huh?" Bodhisattva Liansheng's face froze. Then he smiled wryly and said: "Mr. Gu, you are too late. There is only one stick of incense left at the entrance. If the lotus of reincarnation withers, it will be too late. One stick of incense, is there time to call your friend?"
"It's too late, I don't know where he is yet!" Gu Hai smiled wryly.
"Then there is no other way, Mr. Gu, let's go first, and come back when we have a chance!" Bodhisattva Liansheng said with a wry smile.
"But, I see that you still have a flower bud in this bottle?" Gu Hai asked suspiciously.
Liansheng Bodhisattva glanced at the seven-colored buds, smiled wryly and said, "Mr. Gu, I don't know how long it will take until it blooms!"
"oh?"
"The lotus flower of reincarnation in the past, when it was moved from the reincarnation pool to this bottle, it was also a bud, and it was twice as big as the one in the bottle. At that time, it was 800,000 years ago!" Bodhisattva Liansheng smiled wryly. road.
"What? It took 800,000 years for this reincarnation lotus to bloom?" Shangguan Hen's expression changed.
Liansheng Bodhisattva nodded: "So, if you want to wait for this flower bud to open, it will definitely take more time, 800,000 years? No, it may not even bloom in 1.8 million years!"
Gu Hai's eyelids twitched wildly.
"Snapped!"
At this moment, a petal fell down. Liansheng Bodhisattva's face changed: "Mr. Gu, quickly follow me, or it will be too late, the eighteenth hell has been sealed by the immortals of the Six Paths, and there is no other way out!"
Gu Hai was silent for a while: "Pity Bodhisattva, can you give me this flower bud?"
"Eh? You're not leaving?" Bodhisattva Liansheng was slightly taken aback.
"I want to search again, and the time here is not symmetrical with the outside world, isn't it?" Gu Hai smiled.
"You have to endure it, can you bear it?" Bodhisattva Liansheng asked in surprise.
"I want to try!" Gu Hai said solemnly.
"It doesn't matter if I give it to you, but, just, once the future Buddha comes back, he will definitely try his best to find you, why...!" Bodhisattva Liansheng worried.
"There is always a way, isn't there?" Gu Hai smiled.
Liansheng Bodhisattva was silent for a while, and looked at Gu Hai strangely.
"Okay, I'll give you this mutton fat jade bottle. I wish you good luck, Mr. Gu!" Bodhisattva Liansheng sighed slightly.
"Thank you Bodhisattva Liansheng!" Gu Hai gratefully accepted it.
"Hehe, Mr. Gu, don't be polite to me, I was saved by you, alas, that's all, take care!" Bodhisattva Liansheng shook his head.
"Living Bodhisattva, please go back, please help me bring a word to Gu Han! Just say, 'Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself, if you lose the holy land of Lingshan, you are still the second prince of the Great Han Dynasty!'" Gu Hai solemnly said .
Liansheng Bodhisattva's expression moved slightly, and finally nodded: "I will bring it, take care!"
Saying that, Bodhisattva Liansheng stepped into the exit and disappeared in front of the ancient sea.
"Your Majesty, are we not leaving?" Shangguan Hen asked worriedly.
"If you don't go, you don't have to go either. The 18th floor of hell is a god-given land, so I can help you restore your cultivation!" Gu Hai said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Shangguan Hen nodded.
Sure enough, within one stick of incense, the lotus flower of reincarnation completely withered and turned into ashes, and the channel also disappeared suddenly.
"Let's go!" Gu Hai turned his head and left the hall with Shangguanhen.
