"Spring and Autumn" is a chronological history book, and it is also the national history of the state of Lu. Confucius is currently traveling, which is actually detrimental to the compilation of Spring and Autumn.
Even if he wanted to compile it now, it would not be an easy task. After all, Confucius was not Yang Tuo, and he did not have the convenience of Yang Tuo.
When Yang Tuo compiled the history books, he had the help of the three ancestors, the three emperors, the five emperors, and many sages of the human race. Those histories are just the personal experiences of the sages.
Although Confucius had outstanding virtues, he was just a mortal after all. If he wanted to compile the Spring and Autumn Annals, he would probably have to wait until he returned to the state of Lu after his travels.
Before that, what Yang Tuo needed was to plant a sapling in Confucius' heart, and then wait quietly for it to grow vigorously and mature.
When Confucius was studying hard, he was in Hezhou, Xiniu, in the central pure land.
Sakyamuni's true treasure form is sitting solemnly on a lotus platform. His lotus platform is the third-grade golden lotus of merit obtained from Yang Tuo.
Today's Dacheng Buddhism, after hundreds of years of development, is no longer what it was at the beginning.
After all, Sakyamuni was the reincarnation of the Taoist Master Duo Bao. He established Dacheng Buddhism in Buddhism. Those disciples of the Jie Sect who had been forcibly transferred away by Amitabha and Chunti Buddha Mother seemed to have found their destination and came to join him one after another.
In the central pure land, there are now three Buddhas: Sakyamuni Buddha, the Ancient Buddha of the Lighting Damp and the Great Sun Tathagata. There are also Buddhas of the Sun Buddha, Manjushri, Samantabhadra, Guanyin Bodhisattva and other people who are experienced in teaching to help.
.
Supplemented by the backbone of many disciples of Jie Jiao who have surrendered, its momentum is even greater than that of the Western Paradise. In addition, both Dacheng Buddhism and Xiaocheng Buddhism use the golden lotus of twelve grades of merit to suppress the luck, and the luck of each other is connected.
.
Under this ebb and flow, the fate of Buddhism continues to converge towards Dacheng Buddhism. If it were not for the fact that there are still two saints sitting in the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss, Sakyamuni would probably be the master of this Buddhism.
On that day, Taoist Patriarch issued a decree that all saints could not leave lightly, which resulted in the current situation. The two saints in the West had no choice but to watch Sakyamuni turn his back on the guest and assume the power of Buddhism.
In the absence of the two saints, Maitreya Buddha and Medicine King Buddha alone were in charge of the overall situation, plus three or two kittens. With neither strength nor doctrine dominant, there was no way to stop the expansion of Dacheng Buddhism.
Everything is developing according to my plan!
I am worthy of being the leader of all saints. I reversed the situation with one move. This plan completely consumed the gains of the two western saints in the Battle of the Gods.
Sakyamuni sat on the lotus platform, looked at the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats in the main hall, and then said: "My central Pure Land is now prosperous, and it is all the work of the Buddhas. However, although its power is full of flowers, it is not
Like burning oil cooking oil, it has a foundation without roots."
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva bowed and asked: "We don't know the true meaning of the World Honored One, so please explain it clearly!"
Sakyamuni glanced at Guanyin Bodhisattva and continued: "The foundation must be laid!"
Guanyin Bodhisattva asked again: "I wonder where the foundation is?"
Sakyamuni smiled slightly and kept silent. Then he pointed one finger to the sky and the other to the ground. The Buddhas could not understand his meaning.
There was no movement for a moment in the majestic Daleiyin Temple. The Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats all fell into deep thought, and everyone was comprehending the Buddha's meaning.
From time to time, some people frowned, while others looked astonished. The huge Leiyin Temple showed many postures due to Sakyamuni's movement, and everyone seemed to have realized something.
In the middle of the main hall, there is a Bodhisattva called Ksitigarbha, and the Buddha's light behind his head is bright, as if he has gained something.
Seeing that no one spoke, he stepped out and said to Sakyamuni: "World Honored One, if I have any enlightenment, I am willing to find the foundation for my Buddha."
After hearing this, Sakyamuni retracted his arm. He looked at Ksitigarbha and asked, "Is there anything you can gain?"
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva performed Buddhist rituals and replied: "Yes!"
"Have you gained anything?" Sakyamuni asked again.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was silent for a long time and solemnly said: "I have indeed gained something!"
Sakyamuni couldn't help but reveal a smile on his solemn face, and then said: "In that case, go ahead!"
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was neither sad nor happy, and replied: "Disciples, please obey my Buddhist teachings!"
Then he recited another Buddha's name: "Namo Sakyamuni Buddha!"
After saying that, he went straight out of Dayeiyin Temple, got on his mount, and headed outside the Buddhist Kingdom.
Many Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats do not understand its meaning. However, seeing this situation, they also know that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s actions must have a profound meaning.
This Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was originally the daughter of a Brahmin, but her mother fell into hell and suffered in hell.
She wanted to save her mother from the sea of suffering, so she made sacrifices to cultivate blessings, accumulate merits, and eventually achieve the path of Bodhisattva.
When she was rescuing her mother, she saw many times that hell was vicious and all living beings were suffering. Although she had a compassionate heart, she did not have the power to save all sentient beings.
Seeing the Lord's intention this time was like a guiding light that swept away the last doubts in his heart.
As a result, she saw her way forward clearly and understood her own path. However, her path was full of ups and downs and destined to be filled with thorns.
When Sakyamuni asked her, he was not only asking about the future path of Dacheng Buddhism, but also asking about her Buddha heart and her way.
After Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva carefully inquired about his original intention, he solemnly answered Sakyamuni's words.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva rode his horse and listened carefully, and left the Buddhist kingdom. From the Ghost Gate in Hezhou, Xiniu, he entered the netherworld.
The entire prehistoric world is divided into three realms: heaven, earth, and human beings. The heaven realm refers to the thirty-three realms above the nine heavens, which are the residences of all the immortals and gods.
The human world refers to the place where all living beings live, which is the current prehistoric world. However, during the Conferred God War, after the prehistoric land was shattered, four major continents were formed.
The human world includes four major continents and four seas. There are also the extremely cold ice fields in the extreme north, the storm ocean in the extreme east, the eternal volcanoes in the extreme south, and the boundless sea in the extreme west.
These four phenomena are the extremes of heaven and earth, and it is difficult for immortals and gods to cross them. Beyond the four extremes, there is a land of endless emptiness.
Finally, there is the earth realm among the three realms, also called the netherworld, which is where the souls of all living beings return.
The world is filled with gloomy air, dark, full of phantoms, and the environment is harsh. The ghosts are arrogant and the demons are rampant.
This place is like a paradise for monsters and monsters, a cradle of conspiracy and conspiracy. In addition to being weird, it is still weird.
Therefore, God Haotian had already established the Ten Halls of Yama and brought them under his jurisdiction. Gradually, the Nether World became a paradise for ghosts and immortals, also known as the Nether Underworld.
However, the Netherworld is vast and boundless, and even the ten palaces of Yama can only govern one corner. More places are still in a state of disorder.
Coupled with the Immortal Killing Sword Qi of Master Tongtian, the three realms were divided, and the Netherworld was also greatly affected.
Today, the Ten Halls of Yama can only govern the Nanfangbu Continent. The remaining three prefectures are mostly in chaos.
The Emperor Qinghua of the East, with the help of the Emperor Changsheng of the South, and a group of disciples of the Chan Sect, managed to maintain the East Hell.
Emperor Gouchen of the West, with the support of God Haotian, was also constantly rectifying the underworld in the West.
Only Yang Tuo had no one to support him in the Northern Territory, and because the demons were rampant in Luzhou in the north, a lot of his energy was involved.
He had no management of the northern underworld at all. He only sealed the peach spirit and willow monster as a god, tea and Yulei, to guard the gates of hell in the northern underworld.
Later, nine lions were sent to suppress the underworld and prevent it from causing chaos. As for the rest, they could only let it go their own way for the time being.
We can only sort out the northern underworld after combing Luzhou in Beiju.
Since Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva entered the Western Underworld, he has been moving forward towards the highest mountain and the largest mountain range in the Western Underworld - Yinshan Mountain.
