In the Taixuan Universe, although the seven major sects on the Big Dipper are the most powerful, there are also some sects that are very powerful. For example, on the Lian Zhen Star, the largest sect is naturally the Lian Zhen Sect, but there is another sect here that is also very powerful.
It is so powerful that even the Lianzhen Sect does not dare to provoke it easily. This sect is the only Buddhist and Taoist sect on the Big Dipper, the Great Leiyin Temple.
Daleiyin Temple is located in the holy land of Lingshan, stretching for thousands of miles. With Lingshan as the center, within a radius of 300,000 miles, all ordinary people and monks only believe in Buddhism. They worship three times in the direction of Lingshan every morning, noon and evening, and must bow to the ground.
, extremely pious.
People who believe in Buddhism firmly believe that sowing good causes will lead to good results, so this place is known as the most peaceful place in the Beidou Star Territory, and is also known as the Little Paradise.
Today, the Dharma-promoting bhikkhu in Daleiyin Temple was preaching to three thousand disciples in front of the Main Hall. Suddenly, the sky above was filled with wind and clouds, and the void was twisting.
Seeing this, the great monk who spread the law frowned. Knowing that something was going to happen, he immediately waved his hand and raised his voice and said, "This is the end of today's sermon. You will read it carefully when you get back. Don't slack off."
All the disciples were ordered to retreat and leave this place, and the void in the sky became more and more distorted, gradually forming a circle and emitting a strange light.
The great monk Hongfa counted his fingers, his frown suddenly opened, he smiled and murmured: "It turns out it's not a disaster, but a distinguished guest coming to visit."
As soon as he finished speaking, two figures suddenly emerged from the twisted circle in the void. They froze in the air as soon as they appeared. They were Li Qianmo and Chu Xingyao.
As soon as they appeared, they found that they had inadvertently teleported into someone else's sect, and there was a master of the four great perfections of Hedao standing below, looking up at them.
What surprised Li Qianmo was that the master was actually a monk, and looking at the architecture of this sect, it looked very Buddhist. There was no doubt that this was a Buddhist sect.
"Hey, there is also Buddhism in this universe?" Li Qianmo suddenly frowned and became confused.
Chu Xingyao pulled his hand and reminded: "Stop being curious now. We have intruded on someone else's territory. We should go down and apologize first."
"Well, you're right, let's go down." Li Qianmo pointed downwards as he spoke, and naturally broke away from Chu Xingyao's hand.
The two of them fell from the sky side by side and came to the great monk who promoted the Dharma. They made a grand salute at the same time and said: "Junior Li Qianmo and Chu Xingyao, pay homage to the senior master."
Hongfa glanced at the two of them and said with a smile on his face: "It turns out that it's Li Qianmo, the famous Imperial Heavenly King of Kaiyangxing. He is indeed an honored guest."
Li Qianmo and Chu Xingyao were both stunned when they heard this. They looked at each other, feeling a little uneasy. They didn't expect that his name had already spread to Lian Zhenxing. It was unclear whether this was a blessing or a curse for him.
Seeing the worried look on Li Qianmo's face, Monk Hongfa couldn't help but asked, "Why is Li Tanyue so frowning? Is there something on his mind?"
Although Li Qianmo had a favorable impression of the monk, he was not so enthusiastic about it when they first met him. He smiled lightly, shook his head, put his hands together and asked, "May I ask the master's name?"
Hongfa put his hands together and returned the courtesy: "A certain family's Dharma name is Hongfa, and he is the elder of the Great Leiyin Temple."
"Da Leiyin Temple." Li Qianmo murmured to himself after hearing this. He turned around and looked around. He found that the architecture here was exactly the same as that of Jialan Temple. He became more and more curious and asked, "Excuse me, Master, what is the Big Thunder Sound Temple like?"
Which Buddha does the temple inherit from?”
Hongfa smiled and said: "Daleiyin Temple is naturally inherited from Sakyamuni Buddha. Isn't Li Tanyue from the Beidou Star Territory and has never heard of my Buddha's name?"
Li Qianmo laughed dryly and said apologetically: "It makes me laugh, Master. I really haven't heard of it."
"It doesn't matter." Hongfa waved his hand and said with a chuckle, "You two are guests from afar, why don't you go into the house with a certain family and have some tea."
Li Qianmo originally did not plan to stay here, but he had a doubt in his mind at the moment, that is, Sakyamuni Buddha was the founder of Jialan Temple, and now he is the founder of Daleiyin Temple. These two temples are located in
The Taixu universe and the Taixuan universe, and how Sakyamuni Buddha preached in the two universes respectively, made him very puzzled.
He is quite curious, and if he has any doubts, he will try his best to solve them. Seeing that the great monk Hongfa has invited him to drink tea, he simply does not refuse and goes with him. By the way, he can also ask about Lanruo Buddha.
Hongfa took the two of them into the side hall of the Main Hall and asked the novice monk to make tea. Soon, a pot of fragrant tea was brought up. Hongfa himself poured tea for them both. He was very polite and almost eager.
Although Li Qianmo couldn't see through the propagation of Buddhism with the Emperor's Qi Technique, he could feel that the old monk had no ill intentions. After chatting with him for a few words, he began to express the questions in his heart: "Master, where was Buddha Lanruo born?
Someone’s family?”
Hongfa was about to drink tea when he heard the words and was startled. He put down the tea bowl, twirled his beard and muttered: "Actually, Buddha Lanruo is not from this world. He came from another universe. When he came here, he was already
The supreme Taoist cultivator."
"As expected!" Li Qianmo screamed in his heart when he heard this, but he still pretended to know nothing, frowned and asked, "Another universe? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Hongfa smiled lightly and said: "People who know about this are generally masters of the fourth level of Hedao or above. Tan Yue, you are not yet at the level of cultivation and have few acquaintances. It is normal that you have never heard of it."
Li Qianmo nodded, and after pondering for a long time, he suddenly asked: "Master, where did Buddha Lanruo go after that?"
Hearing this, Hongfa suddenly showed a look of compassion, raised his head and sighed, and said slowly: "I have passed away."
"Ah?" Chu Xingyao suddenly shouted, "Didn't Dao Zun have eternal life? How could he sit down and pass away?"
Hongfa sighed bitterly again and said, "It was the Buddha himself who performed his kung fu and sat down."
Li Qianmo and Chu Xingyao were stunned when they heard this. They knew what "San Gong" meant. In fact, it meant self-exploding the wheel of life. Although the Taoist Master was powerful and invincible and dominated the universe, they were just like ordinary monks.
The life force comes from the Wheel of Life. Without the Wheel of Life, they will also die.
Li Qianmo was stunned for a long time, puzzled, and asked with a frown: "Why is this? Why did the Buddhist beads commit suicide?"
"I don't know much about this." Hongfa slowly shook his head and said, "But according to the words left by the Buddha before his death, he seemed to predict that a disaster would befall him. If he resisted, then this disaster would
It will affect the entire Great Leiyin Temple, and even the entire Lian Zhenxing will suffer."
Li Qianmo and Chu Xingyao were shocked again when they heard this. It was a disaster that even Taoist masters were afraid of. How terrible this disaster would be was simply unimaginable. Li Qianmo blurted out and asked: "What kind of disaster is it that even the Buddha is like this?"
The peerless master was unable to do anything and was forced to commit suicide?"
When Hongfa heard the words, he lowered his eyebrows and sighed: "We at Daleiyin Temple have been pondering this issue for countless thousands of years, but there has been no result. Maybe our horizons are too small, and there are many things we have not seen yet, so we do not
You know what the Buddha was facing."
Li Qianmo had already guessed that this would be the answer. He frowned and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Master, you just said that the Buddha left a message before he passed away. Can you let us see it?"
Hongfa stood up without hesitation and said, "Of course you can, please come with a certain family." After saying that, he turned and walked out the door. Li Qianmo and Chu Xingyao hurried to catch up and followed him.
Hongfa led them to walk in twists and turns in the courtyard for a long time, and finally entered a deep courtyard. The buildings here were very old and a bit remote. At a glance, it was clear that no one lived there all year round. There were many things growing in the courtyard.
There are eight huge banyan trees, some of which have lush branches and leaves. Even though it is hot summer, the yard is still quiet and shady.
The location of these eight bodhi trees is a bit strange. There are two trees in each direction in the four directions of east, west, north and south. He walked to the middle, pointed to the place under his feet, and said: "This is where the Buddha Lanruo was born and died."
Li Qianmo hurriedly used the Emperor's Qi Watching Technique, and sure enough he found that the land under his feet exuded a faint power, which made people feel calm and contained a powerful power of compassion.
Just when he felt the strange power left by the Buddha, Hongfa pointed to a stone tablet not far away and said: "This stone tablet was originally empty. Before the Buddha died, he drove all his disciples out of the courtyard. Wait until
After he passed away, when his disciples came to collect his relics, they found that the stele was full of words, which should be the last words left by the Buddha."
Li Qianmo and Chu Xingyao heard the words and immediately walked quickly to the monument. After a closer look, they found that it read: "A great catastrophe is coming. It is impossible to escape from the disaster. If a certain family does not die, it will be difficult for everyone to live. I am always happy and I am pure. It is not false."
null."
Chu Xingyuan read the inscription according to the inscription, but could only understand the first half. He couldn't help but turned around and asked Hongfa: "Master, what does 'I am always happy and pure, neither false nor empty' mean?"
When he heard the words, he proclaimed the name of the Buddha, put his hands together and said, "The true meaning here is the Buddha's motto of understanding life and death. Do you see the eight bodhi trees in this courtyard?"
Li Qianmo heard this and said in confusion: "I saw it as soon as I entered the yard. Is there anything weird about this tree?"
Hongfa nodded and said: "Do you think there is anything unusual about these eight trees?"
Li Qianmo took a closer look, stroking his chin and muttered: "Of these eight trees, there are two in each direction, and of the two trees in each direction, one is lush and the other is withered."
"It's true." Chu Xingyao looked at Li Qianmo's words carefully and found that it was indeed the case. He couldn't help but screamed in surprise.
Hongfa smiled and nodded: "Tan Yue really has a good eye, he can discover the mystery contained in it with just one glance."
Li Qianmo was stunned when he heard this: "Is there a mystery? What mystery?"
Hongfa smiled lightly and said: "A certain family just said that this is the Buddha's motto to understand life and death. The bodhi tree is in a state of one withered and one prosperous, which exactly symbolizes human life and death. In terms of Buddhism, it is permanent and impermanent. These four
The lush trees represent permanence, happiness, self, and purity respectively; while the four withered trees represent extreme, non-happiness, non-self, and non-purity. Therefore, the Buddha has a saying: 'There is permanence and impermanence, and the two trees are withered and prosperous.
, north, south, west and east, neither false nor empty." At the end of his sentence, he folded his hands and recited, looking extremely pious.
