Chapter 1368: Receive the Order and Go Down to the World
In the Yuqing Palace, silence returned. Meng Qi held the Three Treasures Ruyi and spoke about the mystery of the endless chaos and the complexity and simplicity of the structure of time and space. This was his realization of the illusory Tao and fruit that he had condensed into the illusory Taoist fruit after years of hard work. He took every word of it seriously. Zhuji, as soon as he spoke, everything was dim, and golden lamps stood out out of thin air, like falling from the ceiling, making everything look like a dream.
The disciples of Yuxu who came to listen to the lecture were either mesmerized or thoughtful due to their different cultivation levels. The higher their realm, the more addicted they became.
Nezha relied on the legal body bred from the Chaos Green Lotus Seeds and his own talent to achieve his destiny. He was better at magical powers and fighting, and his understanding of the origin of Tao was relatively insufficient. With a smile on his face or an excited look on his face, he was a little confused. Although he had gained a certain amount from the master's uncle's story and was eager to try his own martial arts, how could he be so out of character?
At this moment, a golden lamp happened to fall in front of His eyes. The light flickered, as if it contained the most mysterious and subtle point. If you look closely, you will see that there are cause and effect, good and evil, before and after, The past and the future... It seems that all the principles and descriptions in the world are gathered here. The more I want to see clearly, the more endless it feels. In the end, there is an hallucination. The points become more and more connected. Lines, lines form planes, planes stack up to form the world, and then connect through time. The further it evolves, the more difficult it is to describe in words, and finally it converges into a point where all elements such as void and time are huddled together, just like they have always been. Nothing has changed…
Nezha looked at this scene and was deeply absorbed in it. He felt that the realms of legend, creation, and the other side were also completely included. He did not blink to avoid missing any details, and the thoughts in his mind ran on their own. I want to reproduce a similar evolution.
Suddenly, the golden lamp fell to the ground, extinguished and dissipated, and all the mystery and subtlety came to an abrupt end. Nezha couldn't help but reach out to grab it, but it fell into the empty space, and he suddenly felt lost.
He suddenly snapped out of his wits and came back to his senses from this state, shocked by his own gaffe:
"Am I as intoxicated as Master Guangcheng and the others?"
At this time, Meng Qi had stopped preaching, nodded slightly and said:
"Too much is also too much, so that's all for today."
Without waiting for Guangchengzi, Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun and others to sigh with regret, he continued:
"Senior Sister Cihang."
Cihang? Guanyin? Guangchengzi and other golden immortals seemed to understand something, and they all looked at the immortal demon god!
The immortal demon god slowly stood up in the eyes of the third generation, fourth generation, fifth generation and other younger disciples who looked puzzled, and saluted with his hands raised:
"What are the instructions from the Headmaster Tianzun?"
He admits that he is the Taoist Cihang before becoming a god, and the Guanyin Bodhisattva who shines after becoming a god? Duke Huan of Qi was shocked but also felt that it was natural. After he escaped from Lingshan Mountain, why didn't he return to the Western Paradise and be trapped in Tianzhu Mountain?
Meng Qi said in a warm tone:
"The era is coming to an end, the doomsday is approaching, and all living beings are suffering, as if they were falling into the Nine Netherworld. Has Senior Sister Cihang ever forgotten her past wish to save those who are suffering?"
The Immortal Demon God was silent for a moment and solemnly said: "I will always keep this wish in mind."
Meng Qi, who was sitting on the lotus platform, nodded:
"Then let's go to the lower realms to help those in distress."
As he spoke, he casually pointed his finger, and waves of black mist rose up from the body of the undead demon god. It seemed like a strong will of death and a depraved demonic energy. The two entangled to form an almost clear pattern, but they quickly spread and returned to the original nothingness.
As soon as the black mist dissipated, immeasurable golden light burst out from the body of the Immortal Demon God, and the sounds of chanting, praying, and praise echoed all around, making the Yuqing Palace somewhat pure and compassionate.
The golden light subsided, and the immortal demon god returned to his appearance as a white-robed warrior. He saluted gratefully and solemnly:
"Receive the decree of the Supreme Lord."
He nodded to Guangchengzi and other fellow disciples again, turned around and walked out of Yuqing Palace, left Yuxu Palace, turned into a ray of clear light, and went straight into the lower realm.
Guangchengzi looked at Guanyin's back and sighed softly: "It's not easy for him after so many years..."
…………
After receiving the decree and escaping from the Kunlun Realm, Taoist Cihang looked down at the current situation, and after a brief pause, he descended to Shuiyue'an Dojo in the Buddha's Kingdom on Earth.
——After the fall of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as the inheritance of the Bodhisattva of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, Shuiyue An was undoubtedly integrated into the Buddhist kingdom on earth.
In Shuiyue Nunnery, Ci Zhen, the current nunnery master, sat cross-legged in front of the pale gold statue of the Great Merciful and Compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva, tapping the wooden fish. Following the wishes of generations of nunnery masters, she finally attained enlightenment in the past few years.
Tuk-tuk-tuk, a solemn and ethereal Zen singing sound suddenly sounded in Cizhen's ears, and a hint of fresh fragrance penetrated his nose.
Her heart moved, she opened her eyes and saw that the mutton-fat jade vase placed in front of the statue of Bodhisattva was glowing softly, and the willow branches with long leaves inside became more refreshing and transcendent.
Dots of glazed golden light fell out of thin air, and the pale golden statue of the Great Merciful and Compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva suddenly lost its dullness and silence, became radiant with vitality, became brighter in color, and opened its eyes with compassion and mercy.
The master of the nunnery, Cizhen, already understood the current situation, clasped his hands together, and recited in a low voice:
"Namo's Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, my disciples respectfully welcome the arrival of the Patriarch."
Taoist Cihang said solemnly:
"In the end of the world, anyone who has compassion in his heart must act in this world."
While he asked Cizhen to summon the disciples of Shuiyue Temple, he used the Ying Shen Dharma to manifest at the border between the Buddhist kingdom on earth and the vacuum hometown, so as to understand the suffering of all living beings and understand what he should do.
…………
In the border of the Buddha Kingdom on earth, Buddha lands can be seen everywhere. Crops grow on their own in the fields, and there are good harvests every season. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and they often smile. Everyone reads Buddhist scriptures, and everyone is compassionate and diligent in cultivation. It is a scene of a pure land on earth. How can there be any suffering?
The Taoist Cihang responded to the voice of chanting Guanyin Bodhisattva and transformed into a beautiful nun in black robes. Holding a bowl, she knocked on the door of a house.
The door opened, and the owner was a middle-aged man in his forties. With a kind and peaceful smile on his face, he said:
"Is this nun here to beg for alms?"
"Thank you, layman." The nun transformed by Guanyin said gratefully.
The middle-aged man took the bowl, turned around and went inside. While eating a full meal, he chanted the Buddha's name along the way without any slackness.
Guanyin took the bowl and smiled, "The layman is so devout in chanting Buddha's name."
"You are so kind." The middle-aged man smiled modestly, "If I were really as devout as the nun said, I would have seen Maitreya Buddha, achieved enlightenment, enjoyed bliss, and no longer worried about birth, aging, sickness and death."
"Can you enjoy bliss and achieve enlightenment by chanting the Buddha's name devoutly?" The bhikkhuni transformed by Guanyin frowned slightly, "Then how can you see the Tathagata in your heart and seek the freedom of your nature, or do you use Maitreya Buddha to replace your own Tathagata?"
The middle-aged man shook his head blankly, "I don't understand what Tathagata in my heart and Tathagata in myself are, I only know to chant Buddha devoutly."
Guanyin looked at him deeply, said nothing more, and turned away.
...
His other incarnation dressed as an ordinary person has arrived at the hometown of Zhenkong. What he saw is similar to the Buddha country on earth. The people have no worries about food and clothing, and everyone is happy and quiet, but there are clear levels between each other, and they only believe in the Mother of No Birth devoutly.
Guanyin's incarnation disguised as a merchant from the East China Sea entered the inn and found an excuse to chat with the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was a kind-looking man with a benevolent and humble heart. He was in his thirties, white and plump, with elegant conversation and a lot of knowledge, but any topic would be about the Supreme Mother saving the world.
"The old mother has pity on all living beings and does not want us to be doomed in the end of the world, so she came here specially to save the world and turn the mortal world into a vacuum hometown. Even if the sky collapses and the earth collapses in the future, we can live forever in our hometown..." The shopkeeper said incessantly.
Guanyin's body pondered for a moment and said, "Saving the world also includes those in the north?"
Hearing this, the shopkeeper's eyes suddenly became fierce, and he said hatefully:
"It is because they believe in evil demons and evil gods and accumulate endless sins that the world will see the end of the world, and only death can pay for it!"
His kind face, his kindness and humility, were twisted into hideousness at this moment, giving people a hateful impression.
Guanyin's body listened quietly and sighed quietly.
At this moment, his original body sitting in the main hall of Shuiyue Temple suddenly felt the change of the energy between heaven and earth, and saw Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, Future Star Buddha and others descending to the border between the Buddha Kingdom on earth and the Zhenkong Homeland.
"Has the peaceful coexistence of more than a hundred years between the Buddha Kingdom on earth and the Zhenkong Homeland come to an end?" Taoist Cihang sighed.
After the Golden Mother betrayed the alliance and the head of the sect Tianzun ascended to the other side, this peace has become more fragile than thin paper, and it is not surprising when it comes to an end!
Somewhere in the Vacuum Homeland, there is a pure white Buddha hidden, watching this scene with a grim look.
