Chapter 282 Tathagata

The Demon King Fu laughed dryly and didn't care. Back then, the Blue Ox and Golden Si were under the Emperor Taiyi, commanding 1 billion demon soldiers in the ancient wilderness, supervising the witches of the lower world, and subduing the demon tribe. Although he was pulling a cart with the Emperor of Heaven, his status was not comparable. Later, the Emperor of Heaven was injured by the Ancestral Witch, and some ancient demon tribes died, and some surrendered to the immortal way. The Golden Si was also taken away by the Supreme Lord Laojun and became a mount. This achievement is very complicated to describe, so I will not mention it.

This is one of the seven great saints of the demon tribe, the Great Saint Jiao Demon King Fu Hai, who is now the master of the North Sea Hell and commands tens of millions of navy. Shen Gongbao looked at the face of the Blue Ox and Golden Si, and explained meaningfully: Since the two of you are familiar with each other, I won't introduce you in detail.

After that, he pointed to the demon king riding the divine mastiff and said: This is also one of the seven great saints of the demon tribe, the Great Saint Yuxiong King who drives the gods. He is the ruler of the Cangshen Kingdom in Dongsheng Shenzhou. Then he pointed to the demon king riding the unicorn and said: This is the Great Saint Monkey King of Tongfeng, but he is practicing in the Shangxing Mountain of Xiniu Hezhou.

At that moment, the Great Saint Yuxiong King of Driving Gods and the Great Saint Monkey King of Tongfeng all got off their mounts and met the blue ox. The Great Saint Monkey King of Tongfeng said: We just came down from Nuwa Palace and heard from the Queen Mother Zhiren, so we are a little late. I hope Brother Shen and Brother Jinsi will not be surprised.

Shen Gongbao smiled and said: Don't be surprised, don't be surprised, everyone come in, this is the territory of the old dragon of the East China Sea, Brother Jiaodao and the old dragon are both begging for food in the sea, it is inevitable that there will be some festivals, it is better not to let him see it, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble and disturb the mood of drinking.

The major demon kings all nodded and entered the mansion of the General of Dividing Water. Shen Gongbao ordered Yaksha to close the door, and the group of people started drinking. They were all demons, and they talked very speculatively. Especially the Jiao Demon King and the Green Ox and Golden Si, they were old acquaintances. Under Shen Gongbao's intentional or unintentional reminders, they talked about the old stories of the human world, and they were all very emotional. Although the Monkey King and the Yu Ape King were monsters born in the world of immortals, they had great magical powers and listened with great interest.

The Monkey King of Tongfeng was a spiritual ape born from heaven and earth, a six-eared macaque, who could reach the sky and meet ghosts and gods. Therefore, he eavesdropped on the sermon of the goddess outside the Nuwa Palace, realized the mystery, and cultivated superior merits. Now he lives on the top of the Shangxing Mountain in Xiniu Hezhou. He is a diligent and good monster. He is the only monster king among the seven saints who has no monster soldiers and is alone. Therefore, except for the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, this monster king has the greatest magical powers.

I said to General Jin Si, I think of your former glory, commanding one billion warriors of my ancient tribe. How majestic you were, but now you are trapped in Xuandu Heaven, and you can't even enjoy blood and food. Why don't you go with me to the North Sea Hell, and we can be kings together, free and easy, wouldn't it be happy. The Jiao Demon King whispered to Jin Si.

When Jin Si heard it, his heart moved, and then he said: The Xuandu Heaven Taishang Master ordered me to come out because the North Sea Eye in the human world suppressed Duobao Taoist. Now the Lingtai Fangcun Mountain Zhunti Patriarch has ordered Wuyunxian to release Duobao Taoist because his karma has expired. Shen Gongbao and I have met him in the heaven before. Since this matter has been settled, I will return to Xuandu Heaven, but the master needs thirty-six years to refine the Nine-Turn Golden Pill, so I can be free. After thirty-six years, I still have to go back.

The Jiao Demon King heard this and said: That is impossible, but Shen Gongbao has his own divine duties and cannot entertain you. In addition, his water palace is poor, and it will be empty after a few days of eating. If you go to my place, I guarantee that you will be ten times happier than here. Thirty-six years have passed in the blink of an eye. If you don't enjoy it well, you will have wasted your trip.

When Jin Si heard this, he thought to himself: This Jiao Demon King is very valuable. I enjoy blood food. I am afraid that I have to eat thousands of fat pigs and sheep, thousands of horses, and thousands of jars of blood wine a day to be full. How can Shen Gongbao afford to entertain a single person? It is better to go to the Jiao Demon King's place to eat, and there is also a place to stay.

Then he said: Okay, I will go to your place to disturb you.

The Jiao Demon King was overjoyed and drank a lot of wine. Except for the Monkey King who only ate fruits, the Jiao Demon King, the Yu Ape King, and the Green Ox and Golden Rhinoceros all had huge appetites. In one meal, they ate more than 300 fat pigs and 200 fat sheep. It was just a small amount and not very satisfying, especially since there were only a few Yakshas to slaughter, and they didn't come up quickly, so they had to wait for a long time.

After removing the hair from the pigs and sheep and cleaning their intestines, they were roasted with real fire. They were brown on the outside and cooked inside. The aroma spread everywhere. Then they were dipped in the raw blood sauce, which had all five flavors. The Golden Rhinoceros was very excited. He opened his mouth wide and ate one by one, and just asked the Yakshas to come up quickly.

Little did they know that they would stop coming up gradually. Jin Si was unhappy and Shen Gongbao was also quite embarrassed. These pigs and sheep were raised by the Dragon King of the East China Sea for entertaining guests. When they were young, they were selected with strong bones and unusual fatness. They were first fed with the fairy grass of the pearl to wash away the impurities and filth in the meridians, bones, intestines and stomachs, and then fed with spiritual medicines such as Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng. They were eaten every day. The meat was excellent, without any fishy smell, and tasted refreshing. Shen Gongbao had a hard time borrowing hundreds of them, and they ate them all in one meal, and his heart was still painful.

Generally, the demon kings eat wild beasts in the mountains. After all, they are not as luxurious as the Dragon King, and they don't have the energy to spend spiritual medicines to raise pigs and sheep.

After eating and drinking, the demon kings thanked them and got up to say goodbye. Shen Gongbao sent them to the door. Jin Si was also invited by the Jiao Demon King. Shen Gongbao also ordered the Yaksha to close the door and ordered a few navy soldiers to patrol the East China Sea. He did not mention his own duties.

Shen Gongbao has met many demon kings. In the past, he was a disciple of Yuanshi in the prehistoric times, and he had a wide range of friends. But now he has responsibilities and cannot travel. Even so, over the past thousands of years, he has met many Taoists, monsters, demon kings, Zen masters, and bodhisattvas.

The Jiao Demon King has an underwater empire in the North Sea, and has been operating for ten thousand years, earlier than the four sea dragon kings. There are rich luxury items, which makes Jin Si happy to linger and forget to leave. He doesn't know east, south, west, north, and every day he either eats and drinks or watches the dance of the Narcissus clam girl, which makes him vent all the anger trapped in the cattle pen for thousands of years.

Not to mention that the two boys Jin and Yin are happy in the Cangmang Mountains, and Jin Si is happy in the North Sea Hell, but Zhou Qing's disciples are not so happy.

Zhou Qing and Yunxia are refining banners in the back mountain. They have no way to split themselves, and the disciples of their sect are doing their jobs, so they are at peace. Although Wen Lanxin was worried about Xiao Kunlun, Zhou Qing did not allow her to go out, and she did not dare to disobey the order. She just dealt with the affairs of the sect every day, and mixed with the witch. She heard from the upper-level demons that they had already used the Tianshi Ju Mo Banner to sacrifice and use it freely, and also collected the poisonous air from the Wandu Mountain to condense the Yin Sha underground and wrap the Yin Lei in the magma of the earth's lungs.

The Yin Lei condensed by this spell is extremely vicious. Although it is only the size of a thumb, it is green and round. The explosion range is not large, just three feet in radius, but it is specially used to break the Xuanmen protective magic weapon. Originally, the Tianshi old demon set up the formation and hid the Yin Lei in the banner. First, it reversed the Yin and Yang, sealed the space, and trapped people in the formation. Then the corpse gas was shrouded and could not see the sun. During this period, the Yin Lei was released, and a bombardment destroyed the trapped person's protective magic weapon, or shook it apart and weakened the treasure light.

Usually, ordinary Xuanmen magic weapons cannot be touched by Yin Lei. After the first burst of Tianshi's Qi, they are polluted and lose their effectiveness. Then they are blown into powder by the Yin Lei that follows. If the soul wants to escape, Tianshi will jump down and eat it all, which is very vicious.

When the Tianshi old demon used a banner to capture the long-handed Arhat, all the 108 Yin Lei hidden in the banner were used up, and they still needed to be collected and refined. Wen Lanxin got the guidance of the witch and refined the more vicious Ten Thousand Poison Yin Lei. With the help of Shura Mie Tianjing, the spirit of the poisonous insect was refined into the Yin Lei. This Yin Lei has spirituality and will not be lost without a place. It will only explode when it touches a person. It will not explode like before as long as it touches a person. r

The big fox Zhou Chen was also next to the witch, Wen Lanxin, but pulled Red Boy aside. Suddenly, a boy hurried in and said to Wen Lanxin: The head master asked the eldest sister to go to the back mountain to listen to the decree.

Wen Lanxin was confused: Master just asked me to go there two days ago, why is there something else now?

He hurried to the back mountain and saw a starlight hanging down in front of the valley. He couldn't see the movement inside. He knew that Zhou Qing was at a critical juncture and didn't dare to go in.

Your evil magic weapon has been refined, Zhou Qing asked. In fact, Zhou Qing's refining flags has indeed reached a critical juncture. Among the Zhoutian Douluo Star God Flags, the most difficult to refine is a set of star flags, such as the Big Dipper Seven Flags, the Twenty-Eight Mansions, the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gangs, and the Seventy-Two Earthly Evils.

When refining the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gangs, you shouldn't be distracted, but Zhou Qing's true spirit was clear after he killed Dijiang, Gonggong, Zhurong, Rushou, and Jumang, and calculated many variables, so he called Wen Lanxin again.

It was completed yesterday and can be controlled. Wen Lanxin replied.

That's good. Kunlun's kid is in some trouble. This treasure is needed to escape. Zhou Qing said.

Wen Lanxin was shocked and was about to ask, when he saw a talisman condensed by starlight flying out. Zhou Qing said: You can't leave the mountain, otherwise there will be disaster. You can engrave the method of use on the talisman and throw it in. I will send it to Kunlun.

Wen Lanxin was overjoyed and hurriedly followed Zhou Qing's words. At the end, he took the banner and put it on the ground. A ray of starlight rolled into the valley.

Zhou Qing said: You go. Wen Lanxin went out by himself.

Just after leaving the back mountain, he saw thirty-six black lights rushing out of the valley, rushing up, reaching mid-air, flying a few miles away, falling down suddenly, drilling into the ground, and disappearing without a trace. Wen Lanxin knew that the banner was sent out by Zhou Qing with great force, and he was very envious.

Beyond the East China Sea, there is a vast archipelago with its own world, and above it is the Central Pure Land of Saha. In the Pure Land, there is a pagoda, which is square, with a width of 48,000 feet on each side and a height of 48,000 feet. It has seven floors, and there are relics hanging on each floor. The Buddha's light shines everywhere, day and night, making the entire Pure Land bright.

This pagoda stands between heaven and earth, and it is incomparably large. However, there is no one in the pagoda, except for two monks in front of the door. Compared with the pagoda, they are like two ants.

These two monks are Ananda and Kasyapa, who are the direct disciples of Sakyamuni Buddha. They respect the will of Tathagata, guard the Central Pure Land of Saha, and wait for the Buddha to be reborn after Nirvana.

Suddenly, there was a sound of auspicious Buddha light. Ananda saw that it was Xuanzang coming from the Pure Land in the distance. When he arrived under the pagoda, he bowed a few times and went up the steps step by step.

This Xuanzang is a disciple of the Buddha. He attained enlightenment by reading scriptures. He has no magical power, but he has a profound practice and great compassion. He is the leader of the Consciousness-Only School in the Pure Land and has a high status.

Where did the master come from? Ananda asked hurriedly.

Xuanzang said: The Buddha was born to illuminate the world, so I had to come.

Qu Nan was shocked: Before the Buddha passed away, he had said that he would be born after experiencing countless kalpas. One kalpa of my Buddha is the birth and death of the world, which is 5.6 billion years. The same is true for countless kalpas, which is 480 million kalpas. Now that kalpa has not even passed, how can the Tathagata be born?

Master Xuanzang clasped his hands and said: My Buddha is compassionate. I can't bear the suffering of the six domestic animals and the world, so I was born here to save people again.

Ananda and Kasyapa were shocked. Then I saw Buddha's light lingering in the distance, auspicious clouds, and many Zen masters came together, including the Three Treatises Religious Patriarch Jizangtai Religious Patriarch Zhizhuanyan Religious Patriarch Fazang Religious Patriarch Bodhidharma, and under his seat, Bodhisattva Huineng, Bodhisattva Shenxiu, the founder of the Esoteric Buddhism Zen Master Wuchao, as well as Nagarjuna Bodhisattva, Deva Bodhisattva, Baoshu Bodhisattva, Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons Guangli Bodhisattva, Eight Treasures Golden Body Arhat, and Altar Purifier Bodhisattva.

The major sect leaders and their disciples came together. In front of the seven-story pagoda, the world was boundless, and it was the Pure Land of Saha. Forty-eight thousand Zen masters, monks, upasikas, upasakas, holy monks, in the Pure Land, great gods, Dingjia, Gongcao, and Galan, were all in front of the pagoda, chanting Amitabha together, waiting for the Tathagata to be reborn.

Why can't I see the Fighting Buddha Ananda asked.

The Bodhisattva of the Purifier of the Altar said: If the Fighting Buddha does not enter Nirvana, how can the Tathagata be born?

The Bodhisattva of the Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons and Broad Power clasped his hands and said: Great Good

All the monks said: Good

They all chanted the Heart Sutra together, and the clear sound of the Sanskrit chanting echoed throughout the infinite central Saha world.

The founder of the Esoteric Buddhism, Master Wuchao, stepped forward and showed the incarnation of Mahavairocana. There was a golden light, a Buddha statue of Mahavairocana, and a thousand Buddha arms, holding a red sun, a hundred feet high, standing upright in front of the stupa, chanting in Sanskrit: Welcome my Buddha Shakyamuni Tathagata, born in the central Saha world

Suddenly, the entire infinite central Saha world seemed to stop, and everything stopped moving. After a long time, a golden light rose from the top of the stupa, and in a blink of an eye it enveloped the entire Saha world. The 48,000 relics on the stupa became brighter and brighter, and even the red sun held by the incarnation of Mahavairocana of Master Wuchao was covered. A golden light flashed, and there was a Buddha on the top of the stupa.

On the top of the Buddha, there is a ball of light, ten thousand feet high, and five Mingwangs appear. The central Acalanatha is black and blue, with a ferocious look, and has water-wave-like wrinkles on his forehead. There is a Garuda flame behind him. He steps on the rock of the Pipa Seat, holding a sword called Kulikara in one hand, with the sword wrapped around the Kulikara Dragon King, and a rope in the other hand, subduing all evil demons.

Mahakala Mingwang steps on eight beasts, has six faces, six arms, and six feet, holding a bow and halberd with a skull as a necklace. His body is long and full of flames, and there are three eyes on the six faces, all of which are red eyes, and one head is red, like a flame.

Kundali Mingwang is blue all over, with one face and eight arms, and the two arms in the middle cross in front of the chest, holding red, and the other three hands on the right hold vajra tridents, or make the fearlessness seal, and the three hands on the left hold octagonal golden wheels and other instruments.

The King of Three Worlds has four faces and eight arms. His left foot steps on Mahadeva and his right foot steps on Uma, the consort of heaven. His two middle hands are in a seal. The three hands on the right hold a five-pronged arrow and a sword respectively; the three hands on the left hold a five-pronged hook bow like a rope.

The King of Vajra Yaksha has three faces and six arms. He has a ferocious appearance. He has five eyes on the front and three eyes on the left and right. His six arms each hold a bow, a five-pronged pestle, and a vajra bell.

This Buddha is the central present Buddha, Sakyamuni Tathagata, who finally descended to the central Saha Pure Land.

Sakyamuni Tathagata sang: I entered Nirvana under the Sala tree. I want to turn around for countless kalpas and save the world again. You have no merits in protecting the Saha Pure Land and cannot save the world. It is a pity. I will not let you turn around and be reborn again. You should practice pure cultivation and accumulate those 100,000 merits. You can be given a great position and a positive fruit.

Everyone sang together: Our Buddha is merciful

The Great Sun Tathagata ascended the stupa and sat on the right of Sakyamuni Tathagata. The left side was empty, which seemed incomplete.

Sakyamuni spoke again: Fighting and Victory Buddha will enter Nirvana and be born in the Lapis Lazuli Pure Land after countless kalpas. At that time, I will be annihilated and there will be no Buddha in the world to save people. Since emptiness is not empty, I will add Wuyunxian to become Jin'ao Bukong to achieve Buddhahood. After countless kalpas, I will be annihilated and Fighting and Victory Buddha will not be born, so I will let Jin'ao Bukong achieve Buddhahood to save people to the Pure Land of Saha.

After that, Wuyunxian appeared on the left, sitting on the stupa, with a solemn appearance.

The holy monks, Zen masters, bodhisattvas, and arhats below chanted together: Namo Sakyamuni Tathagata, Namo Mahavairocana Tathagata, Namo Amoghasiddhi Tathagata

At this point, in the central Saha world, the Buddha was reborn. Sakyamuni Tathagata was in the center, Mahavairocana Tathagata was on the right, and Amoghasiddhi Tathagata was on the left. These three Buddhas were all perfect. The sky was full of white rainbows holding up the relics, the goddesses scattered flowers, the dragons were around, and the Buddha was preaching, just like the Western Paradise.
