Chapter 264 The Ten Directions Rescue the Suffering Heavenly Venerate, Ksitigarbha King Bodhisattva
The three Buddhas had just been given a slap in the face by Patriarch Styx, and they thought it would be difficult to resolve the matter this time.
Unexpectedly, Patriarch Styx just tried it out, and then made a gesture of negotiation. Sakyamuni and others were still a little excited.
The trip to the Netherworld at this time is related to the future of Buddhism. The Netherworld is an important place in the three realms and a place that can affect the situation in the three realms.
In the underworld, you can intervene in the six realms of reincarnation. The hell realm, the evil ghost realm, and the animal realm, these three realms can be affected by it.
On the basis of this sacrifice, if we can get the support of the Asura clan of the Styx ancestor, the Six Paths will already occupy most of it, leaving only the Celestial and Human clans.
If the Six Paths are under control, the rise of Buddhism is inevitable.
It's okay to say that the lower three realms don't have any great figures among the three tribes. As long as Buddhism lays its foundation in the underworld, it can naturally encroach on it gradually.
The three races of the upper three realms are different. Each race has a profound heritage. Although there is friction with the Asura clan now, it is also a good opportunity.
Sakyamuni bowed first and said: "Master, our Buddhist sect is not doing evil with the asuras this time, but bringing goodwill!"
Patriarch Styx looked at Sakyamuni coldly, his voice as cold as winter, and said slowly.
"Educate our people to strengthen themselves, and they say it brings goodwill. It's nothing more than just talking nonsense!"
Sakyamuni was not impatient, but he brought goodwill and was certain that he could convince Patriarch Styx.
He was not too busy explaining, looked around and said, "Master, this is probably not the time for communication!"
Ancestor Minghe saw his actions and understood what he meant, nodded and said: "That's true!"
Seeing Patriarch Minghe's answer, Sakyamuni offered a golden lotus under his seat. Infinite lotus leaves flew, covering the sky and the sun.
Ancestor Styx also sacrificed the red lotus under his seat. For a moment, the golden and red lotus leaves complemented each other.
Under the illumination of the red sun behind the head of the Great Sun Tathagata, some lotus leaves reaching the sky are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers reflecting the sun have a unique red feeling.
But it was Sakyamuni and Ancestor Styx who joined forces to use lotus leaves to cover the eyes of the powerful powers of the three realms, and used them to conceal the secrets of heaven.
With the fate of Buddhism and Asura religion as the rocker, the red lotus of karma and the golden lotus of merit as the foundation, even a saint cannot peek into it.
Yang Tuo was originally looking forward to it. After all, this was a major event that could affect the development of the three realms. He didn't expect that Sakyamuni and the Ancestor of Styx would actually do something like this.
It's like watching a TV show at a critical moment, and the power goes out. Isn't this frustrating?
Although he was very dissatisfied, Sakyamuni and Ancestor Styx worked together to cover up the situation, so that the specific situation of this drama could not be seen.
Although the specific situation cannot be seen, based on the development of Buddhism, it can be inferred that Sakyamuni must have successfully persuaded Patriarch Styx.
It is not clear whether there are any hidden secrets or py transactions involved.
Yang Tuo guessed that Sakyamuni must have made some promise that would be of great benefit to Patriarch Styx.
Otherwise, Ancestor Styx would not let this matter go easily.
Seeing that there was no excitement to watch, Yang Tuo had no choice but to look away and think about his own affairs.
I have to say that Buddhism is a good way to make big wishes and reap the results in advance.
Yang Tuo came from a later generation and was not very averse to bank loans. He was thinking that if he made a few great wishes, he might be able to organize the underworld in the Northern Territory in advance.
However, he thought carefully and gave up the idea.
First of all, the oath is really not that easy to complete. The oath that is easy to complete will not give you a lot of loan limit.
Secondly, the Spring and Autumn Period is now at a critical moment when hundreds of schools of thought are contending. His focus should still be on the direction of historians.
However, the Netherworld in the Northern Realm also has to make some plans. If it is left alone for a long time, it will probably become too big to lose.
While Yang Tuozheng was thinking, in the Western Netherworld, Sakyamuni and the Patriarch of Styx had not yet reached a conclusion.
In the Eastern Heaven, where Emperor Qinghua lives, something new has happened.
Just listen to a burst of sound that reverberates through the three realms!
"Qinghua Changle Realm, Dongji Miaoyan Palace. Seven-Bao Fangqian Forest, Nine-Colored Lotus Seat. Within the arch of the Wanzhen Ring, in the tens of billions of auspicious lights. The Jade Pure Spiritual Treasure should be transformed into the Xuan Yuanshi. A catastrophe has struck Tzu Chi, and the Great Thousand
The Nectar Gate. The true body of the wonderful way, the auspicious appearance of purple gold. Randomly come to feel it, and vow to have boundless wishes. The great sage has great mercy, and has great compassion and great wishes. It is transformed into a name in the ten directions, and it saves all living beings. In hundreds of millions of kalpas, it saves countless people."
"Today, I, Taiyi, make an oath to transform the ten directions to save all sentient beings. During billions of eons, I will save countless people. I will go out and express my gratitude to you, Taiyi, to save the suffering God!"
Listening to the majestic Taoist sound echoing in the three realms, Yang Tuo hurriedly turned his gaze to the Oriental Qinghua Immortality Realm.
I saw Taiyi Zhenren sitting on the nine-color lotus seat, with nine-color divine light surrounding his head, emitting thousands of rays of light. Many real people, strong men, diamonds, god kings, golden boys, and jade girls were guarding him.
As the sound of the oath fell, immeasurable rays of light shone in the void above his head, and a large mass of merit fell from the void.
When the merits fall into the Qingyun of Master Taiyi, the Qingyun begins to roll continuously, and the infinite Taoist rhyme is manifested in it.
After a moment, ten streams of light flew out from Taiyi's head and turned into ten figures.
These ten figures slowly emerged from the void, turning from emptiness to reality. They were transformed in response to the oath of Master Taiyi, the Heavenly Lord of the Ten Directions to Save Suffering.
They are:
Oriental Jade Emperor
"Standing in the Zhen Palace, honoring the Mao position, controlling the wind and thunder hell, weighing the power of thunderbolts, those who do good will be recorded in the Qing Pian, those who do evil will be marked in the black book, and the inspection will be selfless."
Southern Xuanzhen Wanfu Tianzun
"Standing in the palace of departure, occupying the noon position, in charge of the fire-healing hell, the power of the majestic flames, Yao Yao Ming condemnation, do not break the candle of darkness, the boundless bitter plum, it is difficult to find a rescue boat, life and death are different paths, and the eyes are inevitable
."
The most wonderful and supreme deity of the West
"Standing in the Palace of Dui, occupying the position of You, in charge of the Golden Steel Hell, imposing the power of examination and plunder, interpreting merits and deeds, avenging unscrupulous selfish interests, being prepared over and over again, keeping records of good deeds, and accumulating sins
No difference."
Northern Xuanshang Yuchen Tianzun
"Standing in the Kan Palace, honoring the son's position, in charge of the cold hell, weighing the power of ice and snow, the city stands with four irons, there is no way out, the sword grows beside thousands of trees, the reality is that there is fear, all living beings are rogue, the five sufferings
There’s no way to escape.”
Northeastern Duxian Shangtianzun
"Standing in the Gen palace, occupying the ugly position, holding the wok to raise the hell, and the power to cook and collapse, the seven emotions and six desires, it is difficult to escape the clear karma, the five bodies and limbs, the most bitter wind and moon, the judgment of life and death, the difference between good and evil
."
The God of Good Life in the Southeast
"Standing in the Sunda Palace, residing in the Youfu, in charge of the Bronze Pillar Hell, imposing the punishments of a single person, distinguishing between good and evil, as selfless as the sun and moon, annotating names as unpredictable as the wind and thunder. All living beings cannot escape the six paths.
."
Southwest Tailingxu Emperor Tianzun
"Standing in the Palace of Kun, residing in Quanqu, in charge of the slaughtering hell, authoritative knife-cutting punishment, impartial and party-free, rewards and punishments for many kalpas and thousands of lives, difficult to reason and understand, distinguishing between wrong and wrong in nine days in Sidian, life and death As it unfolds, merit will be determined."
The Infinite Taihua Tianzun of the Northwest
"Standing in the Heavenly Palace, residing in the underworld, in charge of the hell train, and controlling the operation of the system. Setting up a weightstone to measure merit and demerit. Being equal and selfless. Mastering the deceased to determine the ups and downs. Grinding properly, being selfless and without distortion. Go with it or go against it."
Yuxu Minghuang Tianzun above
"The imperial decree unites the Qianyuan Dynasty, the Delong and Kun realms, and takes charge of the powerful and powerful power that has conquered the hells in the past. It is difficult to understand everything, and the passage of the eighteen hells makes everyone tremble, and everyone who accumulates guilt in On ordinary days, you will definitely be punished at this time, wheeling your eyes in the nine places, and traveling back and forth three times."
The True Emperor Cave God Tianzun below
"He is honored as the capital of the underworld, and has the title of ten emperors. He is in charge of Luo Feng's mansion. He weighs the strictness of the constitution. There is life and death. There are two opportunities to enter. There is no party or partiality. The holding of the third level of the underworld is what he created at that time. Why run away now?"
These ten people were separated, all with faces filled with compassion.
Master Taiyi looked at the tenth point in front of him and said, "Thank you for your hard work in the future, fellow Taoists!"
All the Heavenly Lords stood up and returned the salute, replying one after another: "That's exactly what it should be!"
"You and I are one, no need to be polite!"
"You should do your best and live up to your expectations!"
…
As the greetings ended, Shifen Tianzun turned into a ray of light, escaped into the Eastern Netherworld, and began to rectify the Eastern Netherworld.
It was Taiyi Tianzun who was inspired by the actions of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, but he was unwilling to sit in the Netherworld for a long time.
So with the help of the power of oaths and wishes, ten heavenly deities were differentiated to take his place in the Netherworld and rule the underworld.
It was impossible for Yang Tuo not to be moved after seeing Master Taiyi's method. With this method, Master Taiyi not only solved the turmoil in the Netherworld.
He also made great progress in his cultivation and became one of the most powerful people in the world. The price was to overdraw the future in advance. For a long time in the future, he would have to pay off the debt for today.
From today onwards, the government is governed by the four directions of heaven, southeast, northwest and northwest.
The Eastern Nether World is under the control of Taiyi Zhenren, who has divided into ten parts, Taiyi Saves the Suffering God.
In the southern netherworld, the Immortal Emperor is supported by the Haotian God. The netherworld is governed by the ten halls of Yama sealed by the Haotian God.
In the Western Netherworld, once the three Buddhas have finished negotiating with the Patriarch Styx, they will be stolen by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
From then on, Emperor Gouchen of the West would lose jurisdiction over the Netherworld.
Only the underworld governed by the Northern Heaven Region has no one to govern it.
However, all the three underworlds are about to be pacified, which also puts a lot of pressure on Yang Tuo. Only the underworld under the jurisdiction of the Northern Tianyu has not made progress yet.
They just relied on the Peach Spirit Willow Monster with the Golden Immortal cultivation to guard the gate of the Netherworld, and then temporarily suppressed it with the Nine Spirits Yuansheng.
However, this strength alone is not enough to bring down the underworld.
Even Taiyi Zhenren and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva are afraid of not being able to do it on their own.
In addition to the divided Ten Directions Suffering Heavenly Lords, Taiyi Zhenren also relies on the power of interpretation to control the underworld.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva will use the power of Buddhism to encroach on the underworld.
Although some of the names are not correct and the words are not correct.
However, with the strength and power of Emperor Gouchen, it is difficult to resist the invasion of Buddhism. The Western underworld will eventually be captured by Buddhism.
As for the south, the land where Nanbuzhou is located has long been under the control of Haotian God.
Because God Haotian moved the heaven to the south, the Antarctic Changsheng Emperor was emptied out. The Changsheng Emperor has been in name only since then.
After the division of the netherworld among the three parties is completed, it will be Yang Tuo's turn to lead the northern realm.
The Netherworld under Luzhou in Beiju will become everyone's next target.
As a result, Yang Tuo was under great pressure and had to make some preparations in advance.
Although he gave up the methods of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Taiyi Zhenren, he was not without options.
The method of converting three pure states into one qi taught by the Taiqing sage has only now been divided into two incarnations.
One is Emperor Ziwei, who sits in the North Pole. The other is the resident swordsman who travels around the world.
Yang Tuo looked at the Eastern Heaven, then at the Western Heaven, and said silently: "It seems that my third incarnation will be born early!"
Immediately, Yang Tuo took out the Three Jue Formation diagram that had not been used for a long time. He easily displayed the formation diagram, and a huge blood cocoon appeared in front of him.
It was the embryo he obtained in Haojing during the invasion of Inunrong.
After such a long period of gestation, the embryo absorbed the blood in the red water array and finally matured.
Yang Tuo listened to the strong heartbeat in the blood cocoon and felt very satisfied. The quality of this embryo was truly extraordinary and its body was powerful.
If we use it as the foundation to refine the last incarnation, its quality should not be inferior to the other two clones.
Now that he had made up his mind, Yang Tuo no longer hesitated. He threw the blood cocoon and it immediately fell into the clouds above his head.
Yang Tuo used the magical method of transforming three pure things into one qi, separating a trace of essence from his body and entering the blood cocoon, giving the blood cocoon embryo its final spirituality.
At this point, the embryo is fully mature and just waiting to emerge from the cocoon.
When Yang Tuo was refining his final incarnation, Sakyamuni and Ancestor Styx had also completed their discussions.
Ancestor Styx led a group of Asuras to leave Yin Mountain and retreated to the depths of the Blood Sea.
Sakyamuni said to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva: "Although I have reached a consensus with Patriarch Styx, the matter in the underworld is not over yet."
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva clasped his hands together and asked sincerely: "Please give me some advice, World Honored One!"
Sakyamuni said: "Although the asuras have retreated, the evil ghosts and evil spirits in the netherworld still exist."
"Although this is a small harm, it is not enough to shake the foundation of your Yinshan Buddhist Kingdom. What you need to pay attention to is the Great Emperor Gouchen of the West."
"This place was originally under the jurisdiction of Emperor Gouchen. If you establish a Buddhist kingdom, it is equivalent to taking away his authority."
"With the support of God Haotian, Emperor Gouchen will definitely not give up. You need to deal with it carefully to avoid failure!"
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva bowed and said: "Disciple, if you understand, you will live up to the expectations of the World Honored One!"
Sakyamuni thought for a while and said: "As the saying goes, if the name is not correct, the words will not be correct. If you establish a Buddhist kingdom, you may be ostracized by the forces in the netherworld."
"However, in the Netherworld, the strong are respected and the victor is the king. As a great Luo, you have also established a Buddhist kingdom. You should ascend to the throne to rectify your name!"
After hearing this, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva thought for a moment: "The rules in the underworld are that Taiyi is the ghost king and Daluo is the ghost emperor."
"If she doesn't want to be the target of public criticism in the Yinshan Buddhist Kingdom, she still needs to abide by the rules of the underworld."
"Otherwise, we might be attacked by a group of them. Even if we have Buddhism as our backing, I'm afraid it will end badly."
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva immediately said: "Disciple understands! However, although Ksitigarbha has entered Daluo, he still occupies the status of Bodhisattva and cannot be called emperor. He should be given the title of king!"
"From now on, I will be Ksitigarbha!"
All the Buddhist soldiers in the Yinshan Buddhist Kingdom shouted: "Ksitigarbha! Ksitigarbha! Ksitigarbha!"
Sakyamuni, the ancient Buddha who lights the lamp, the Great Sun Tathagata, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva, and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva all put their hands together at this time.
