Three hundred and ninetieth chapters enlighten the three masters
Chapter 390: “Enlightenment” of the Three Great Masters
On that day, when the Tongtian leader introduced the Immortal Trap Sword Qi into the Dingshang Sword, Zhang Zixing had never practiced it. Only when the Tongtian leader led Kong Xuan, Xingtian, and Duobao to attack together with him, he reluctantly used the Tai Chi Immortal Technique to resist. Later, he
After traveling to West Kunlun and learning that Master Yao was unable to help, they began to formally understand the meaning of the Immortal Sword.
The essence of the sword meaning of the Sinking Immortal Sword lies in the word "trap". The secrets of attack and defense in it have many coincidences with the Tai Chi Immortal Techniques. Zhang Zixing tried to use the Tai Chi Immortal Techniques to comprehend together, and he discovered many mysteries. This time with
During the fight between the three immortals, Zhang Zixing became more and more skilled in the power of sword energy in practice, and as expected, he firmly controlled the "Three Masters".
Seeing that the situation was critical, and Master Huang Long just left to fetch reinforcements, Master Cihang, Master Puxian, and Manjusri Guangfa looked at each other, and finally made up their minds and performed the last secret method.
Then he saw an incarnation appearing in the Niwan Palace of Samantabhadra, with a face like a purple date, a huge mouth and fangs, and a crown of five Buddhas on his head. He had three heads and six arms holding sharp weapons. In the middle, two arms held a lotus. On the lotus,
The sharp sword surrounded by flames suddenly glowed with red light.
The Dharmakaya of Manjushri Guangfa also appeared. The Dharmakaya has a face like indigo, red hair and a red beard. His whole body is colorful and auspicious. He is holding a sword of wisdom, with an image of eight heads and six arms hidden, and he appears full of auspiciousness.
The Dharmakaya of Master Cihang has a face like powdered powder, and is covered with necklaces and beads. There are lotus flowers holding his feet, and he is holding a pure vase. The shape of thousands of arms behind him is looming, and for a while, there are thousands of auspicious clouds, and the purple energy penetrates the sky.
This Dharmakaya merged with the power of Qingyun Lotus, and its power doubled. For a moment, the constraints in the space were immediately broken. The three of them felt that the power of the "quagmire" disappeared, and they couldn't help but feel refreshed.
You actually have this skill? Zhang Zixing was slightly surprised and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the three of you also possess the golden body and magical powers of Western religions. Let me see what the so-called 'Three Masters' are capable of!"
When the three immortals heard his words revealing the origin of his supernatural powers, they were secretly frightened and deliberately attacked this formidable enemy. They each used their magical powers to attack Zhang Zixing. Zhang Zixing let out a long laugh, and even the golden sword in his hand gradually became thinner, as if he was holding a
It's like an invisible sword, and its movements are more "clumsy" and slow.
The three immortals attacked fiercely for a while, seeming to be pulled by some strange force. It seemed that his movements were very slow, but he could not help but slow down as well. Not only the movements, but also the reaction of the immortal consciousness and the movement of the immortal power throughout his body changed.
Slow down - the rhythm in the entire "smoke and dust" space seems to be under Zhang Zixing's control.
With sharp eyes, Bixiao discovered that the sea water below the four-man battle group had actually changed, and began to form a strange vortex. The vortex rotated slowly and was divided into two sides by a strange arc, like two swimming fish.
Constant changes and ups and downs.
The three immortals of Cihang gradually realized that something was wrong, and wanted to speed up or get rid of this terrible rhythm control, but neither the power of Qingyun Lotus nor the golden body was able to work. Instead, they were increasingly uncontrollably controlled by each other.
pulled by.
The three of them instinctively felt that Zhang Zixing's slow movements were not only intended to contain the three of them, but also to gradually strengthen the power in the space at the same time. There were endless murderous intentions hidden almost everywhere, just like countless people in the same space.
Invisible and terrifying enemies. Once the movement of the three people stops following Zhang Zixing, these terrifying enemies will all launch fatal attacks. At that time, there will only be one result, and there will be no recovery.
Yunxiao had the highest level of cultivation, so he knew how powerful it was. There was a strange brilliance in his beautiful eyes behind the mask: The power of this husband-to-be has reached such a level! This terrifying sword energy, even if
Even though her cultivation had been restored, she was afraid that she would not be able to withstand the enemy. In fact, even the leader of Tongtian Cult himself would be amazed by Zhang Zixing's aptitude and understanding when he saw this scene: in a short period of time, he was able to develop and evolve the sword intention of the Immortal Trap Sword.
To this extent!
At this moment, the sword in Zhang Zixing's hand finally stopped.
Let's say that Master Huanglong was in a hurry all the way, running away at full speed, and finally arrived at Jinxia Cave in Yuquan Mountain.
Master Huanglong shouted: "Nephew Yang Jian!"
A boy came out of Jinxia Cave, saw Master Huanglong, and saluted quickly: "Teacher Huanglong, my master has been in seclusion since he returned to the cave from Yuxu Palace a few days ago. I don't know what the teacher wants.
Can a disciple tell the master about this matter?"
Master Huanglong recognized that this was Yang Jian's disciple, the golden-haired boy, and hurriedly said: "I am coming here because of a huge emergency! I can't tell you! Can you go and tell me about it?"
The golden-haired boy showed a troubled look: "Teacher, Master once ordered not to disturb me when I was in seclusion. Disciple..."
Master Huang Long was too lazy to quarrel with the younger generation. He summoned up his magical power and shouted loudly: "Senior nephew Yang Jian! I am Senior Uncle Huang Long. I have something important to ask you. Can you come out and see me!"
When the golden-haired boy saw Master Huang Long yelling like this, he didn't dare to say anything due to his seniority, with a look of fear on his face.
The waters of the East China Sea have returned to calm.
The fierce battle in the air also subsided. Master Cihang, Master Samantabhadra and Master Manjusri Guangfa were separated from each other a few feet away. The Law Body and Qingyun Lotus disappeared, but their faces were very ugly, their chests kept rising and falling, and they were panting.
Rough.
Zhang Zixing was calm and calm, the Dingshang Sword in his hand had returned to its original golden sword appearance, and his figure slowly floated towards the three of them.
"Sure enough, this golden body has some magical power. It was able to burst open just now and use that power to escape my sword energy. However, that kind of trick can only buy you some breathing time. This time,
You won't have another chance..." Zhang Zixing said lightly, and his whole body once again exuded that strange sword energy. Pulled by that force, the water below began to tumble and spin again, as if there was a giant sea-turning beast.
Just causing trouble.
The three immortals of Cihang felt that the power emitted by Xiaoyaozi at this time was much stronger than before, and they couldn't help but look ashen, and they all showed signs of despair. Master Puxian, who had just come up with the idea to fight Zhang Zixing, even blamed himself.
Gritting his teeth, he compressed all the immortal power in his body crazily, trying to make a one-time explosion. Master Cihang and Manjusri Guangfa noticed Master Puxian's intention, and followed suit one after another, as if they were going to self-destruct together and die together with Zhang Zixing.
Zhang Zixing did not expect that these three immortals actually wanted to die together. He frowned and looked at Princess Sanxiao and Longji who were not far away, and shouted: "Wait a minute!"
Master Puxian sneered: "Although you have great magical powers, you can't stop the self-destruction power of the three of us. Today, we are no match for you, so we will all be destroyed together!"
Zhang Zixing shook his head indifferently and said: "Can the self-destruction power of the three of you compare to the power of your explanatory saint personally using the Three Jewels Ruyi and the Pangu Flag? When I went to the Yellow River Formation to rescue my three wives,
Yuanshi Tianzun personally used the Three Jewels Ruyi and the Pangu Banner on me, but they were not able to kill me. Even if the three of you self-destruct at the same time, it will only be in vain."
Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun and Samantabhadra were all frightened when they heard this. If this was really the case, wouldn't the self-destruction of the three of them be worthless?
Master Cihang couldn't help but feel horrified when he thought of the "disposal" mentioned by the demon that day, and shouted: "Rather than being captured and humiliated, it would be better to die cleanly!"
Zhang Zixing knew that after Master Cihang was captured on Sanxian Island last time, he was forced by his words and always had a "psychological shadow". He smiled and said at the moment: "It was just this Master Puxian who took the initiative to cut off the cause and effect.
Let's have a fight to clarify right from wrong. When did I say that I would capture the three of you or take your lives?"
When Master Cihang and the other three heard this, they knew they were wrong and were speechless.
Zhang Zixing suddenly restrained his strength and said: "The three of you and I don't have any personal grudges that cannot be resolved. Since we have already distinguished ourselves today, we don't want to keep pushing each other hard. You three just need to answer my question truthfully."
It's okay. If you still want to blow yourself up, it's up to you."
The three immortals looked at each other: Is there such a cheap thing? If it is true, it is really lucky. After all, no one would think of dying for no reason.
Out of vigilance, Master Puxian did not disperse his strength, but stopped concentrating and asked tentatively: "Fellow Taoist Xiaoyao, I have received so much mercy from you today. In this case, please tell me, Taoist friend, the three of us must know
Say nothing."
Zhang Zixing waved his hand, and the Purple Mist Barrier was deployed, blocking the sounds from the outside world. Master Cihang saw the effect of the Purple Mist Barrier, and frowned: "What is your intention in doing this?"
Zhang Zixing said: "The talk here contains secrets, so the fewer people know about it, the better. I have a close relationship with Western religions. The two leaders also promised me the position of the third leader and the reincarnated Buddha. It's a pity that I know my destiny. Now
The time has not come yet, so I can only decline politely. The reason why I showed mercy just now was because I saw the golden bodies of the three of you."
In fact, there were three main reasons why he didn't kill these three people just now: first, he was afraid that his self-explosion would hurt Sanxiao, Princess Longji and others; second, he had a temporary plan after seeing Na Jin behind him; third, these three
Everyone is one of the Twelve Golden Immortals. If he blows himself up and dies, and his name disappears from the Yuxu Book at the same time, he may even attract the "Shameless Saint" Yuanshi Tianzun, which will be very bad.
Master Cihang was unaware of his many calculations. He recalled that when he was on Sanxian Island that day, he witnessed an exchange between him and Taoist Zhunti. During this period, he also mentioned the matter of the three leaders, and it seemed that the relationship between the two was extraordinary.
At that moment, some of his suspicions were dispelled. Although he was still brooding about the incident of being beaten that day, a good man would not suffer the immediate consequences, so he had better get out of danger with his two friends first.
"The wise don't tell secrets in front of their eyes, but I have something unclear in my heart, so I want to ask three people to clarify my doubts. I heard that Randen Taoist and fearful sun broke out of the sect and went to the Western sect. The three of them were pregnant with gold.
You must be well versed in the magical powers of the Western Land, so why don't you go to the land of bliss? If this magical power of the Dharmakaya is seen by fellow disciples of the Chan Cult, I'm afraid the three of you will be in big trouble. Please answer this question truthfully, no matter what
No matter what the answer is, I will not embarrass the three of you."
Upon hearing this, Master Cihang sighed and said, "My fellow Taoists are discerning people, and I can't hide it from you. The three of us are destined to the path to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. After being enlightened by Saint Zhunti, we have indeed learned the essence of Western teachings."
, and was able to pass on the golden body magical power, which was very consistent with the original cultivation and magic power, and the cultivation was very fast, but it was a pity that we were defeated by Taoist friends and other great magical powers. The three of us originally wanted to go to the Western Land together, but the Taoist Ran Deng had already gone there first
I went to the west and was named the Three Leaders by two saints. I paid back the three leaders, but this person is despicable, treacherous, and extremely shameless. If the three of us go there again, we will definitely live under this villain and be restrained by him.
, how can we bear it then? Because of this, the three of us hesitated for a long time and were in a dilemma. These words are absolutely true. If there are any lies, they will be wiped out. Please fulfill your promise and let the three of me go."
Zhang Zixing had already guessed it to some extent, but now that he heard Master Cihang's words, his thoughts suddenly changed and he said: "I see! This matter is not difficult at all. I may be able to give you some advice on a way to achieve both ends."
Master Cihang has always been very wary of Zhang Zixing and said: "The three of us are also considered your enemies. What is your plan for showing kindness for no reason?"
Zhang Zixing shook his head and said: "Fellow Taoist, please don't misunderstand me. If I want to harm you, I only need to spread the news that the three of you have golden bodies and magical powers. You will know what the consequences will be..."
When the three immortals heard this, their expressions changed greatly. If the matter of the golden body reached the ears of Yuanshi Tianzun, and summoned the three of them, with the saint's magical power, they would no longer be able to hide it. I am afraid that their lives would still be in danger. Even if they were lucky enough to save their lives,
They will also be expelled from the Chan Sect. If they turn to the Western religion, they will have to get along with shameless people like Ran Deng Taoist. The three of them had a very cold attitude towards Ran Deng Taoist some time ago, especially Cihang, who is also married to Ran Deng.
With his grudge-holding personality, he will definitely maintain his dignity as the leader of the three religions, and he will be constrained and embarrassed at every turn. It is really unacceptable to think about it.
Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun thought for a while and bowed deeply to Zhang Zixing, then said: "Please tell me, fellow Taoist, that if you can point out the confusion of the three of me, I will never forget this kindness."
Zhang Zixing muttered: "The three of you only need to promise me one thing, and I will tell you a strategy that has both ends. Of course, if this strategy is ineffective, you three will not be restricted by this matter."
The three people quickly exchanged opinions and reached a consensus. Master Puxian said: "In that case, please tell me the conditions, fellow Taoist."
Zhang Zixing's condition is actually very simple - Cihang, Manjusri, Samantabhadra and his disciples must not be enemies with him or Dashang for the rest of their lives.
In fact, this condition was originally an unplanned impromptu. As the saying goes, no reward will be given for no reward. Given the hostile relationship between the two parties, if he offered to help for no reason, the three of them would become suspicious. In fact, as long as the three of them are willing to act according to the plan,
, even if Zhang Zixing is asked to back it up, he will agree.
When Cihang Three Immortals heard this "simple" condition, they couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Zhang Zixing also emphasized that this condition will be extended to the future, and all disciples of the Three Immortals lineage must abide by this decision.
This affirmative "emphasis" made the three of them less suspicious, and the power of self-destruction gradually dissipated, and they agreed wholeheartedly.
Master Cihang hurriedly asked him what his "strategy to achieve both ends" was. Zhang Zixing smiled and said: "This plan is actually not difficult. After the three of them return to the mountain, they can make some preparations and then lead their disciples to defect to the Western Sect."
The three immortals all showed irritation, and even the best-tempered Master Puxian couldn't help but frown and said: "Is Taoist friend playing tricks on the three of us?"
"Fellow Taoists, please don't be impatient. Please listen to me slowly." Zhang Zixing expected that the three of them would react like this, so he spoke calmly and clearly.
Western Buddhism, that is, the Buddhism of later generations, will have differences and entanglements between primitive Buddhism and later Buddhism, that is, the famous dispute between Hinayana Buddhism and Mahayana Buddhism. The "True Sutra" taken from the four famous works "Journey to the West" is the Mahayana Buddhism.
through.
The so-called "vehicle" is a free translation of the Sanskrit "Yana", which means "carriage" or "road". After the death of the founder of Buddhism, Sakyamuni, there was a dispute within Buddhism over the teachings of Sakyamuni.
Different understandings and interpretations have successively formed many different sects. According to the differences in their teachings and other aspects, as well as the order of formation periods, they can be summarized into two basic sects, Mahayana and Hinayana.
It can be said that Mahayana and Hinayana come from the same origin, but they are different in many aspects. First of all, in terms of the view of the Buddha Sakyamuni, Hinayana Buddhism generally regards him as a leader, a teacher, and a person who has achieved thoroughness.
An awakened person. Mahayana Buddhism regards Sakyamuni as a Buddha with great power, boundless power, omniscience and omnipotence, and believes that in addition to Sakyamuni Buddha, there are countless Buddhas in the three times and ten directions. Secondly, in terms of practice methods
, there are also differences. Theravada Buddhism advocates the "three studies" of morality, concentration and wisdom, and the "eightfold path". In addition to this, Mahayana Buddhism also focuses on the practice of "six degrees" and "four possessions".
"Bodhisattva's Practice". Mahayana Buddhism takes "to save all sentient beings" as the purpose of practice, and takes becoming a Buddha as the highest goal of practice.
There are many specific differences, and I will not go into details here. Through Zhang Zixing’s many contacts with Western religious people (including Jieyin and Zhunti Shuangsheng), and after long-term analysis, verification, and inference, the current Western religion basically belongs to
The original state of Buddhism, that is, Theravada Buddhism, has Taoist Jie Yin as its representative figure, advocating "I have nothing but Dharma" and emphasizing self-cultivation. The same is true for Taoist Jie Yin in the original work.
Taoist Zhunti, on the other hand, vaguely had the rudimentary thoughts of Mahayana Buddhism, especially after Zhang Zixing accidentally answered the sentence in "The Book of Heaven with the Word of 囧" that "there is an origin without self-nature, and all dharmas have no self." Zhunti seemed to have some enlightenment, which made him
This trend is even more obvious. During the last incident of lighting lanterns on Sanxian Island, Master Zhunti revealed the words "nature is empty and illusory," and this is exactly the thought of Mahayana Buddhism.
This distinction is not obvious yet, and some may be different from the historical thoughts and theories of Mahayana Buddhism. Perhaps in n years, the ideological differences between the two saints will become more and more serious, leading to the true emergence of Western religions.
The so-called Mahayana and Hinayana. What Zhang Zixing can do now is to turn this "maybe" into a certainty, and also greatly advance the time.
Zhang Zixing has been planning this plan for a long time, and now meeting these "three great masters" is a God-given opportunity.
The current Western religion has "accommodated" the disciples of the two sects, and its strength has greatly increased. Zhang Zixing's "reminder" on that day is indispensable. However, Zhang Zixing's real purpose is not only to divide the Chan religion and the Western religion, but also to further divide the Western religion.
His long-term plan. Last time he returned to Sanxian Island, he succeeded in driving a wedge between Ran Deng and Ci Hang, which was originally very meaningful. A series of events that followed made his plan go further and smoothly implemented.
Wherever there are people, there are differences. Although the two saints of the Western religion are currently working together, once their fundamental cognitions conflict, there will inevitably be contradictions. If this kind of contradiction can be further multiplied and expanded by everyone in the sect, it will eventually be stimulated.
One day. Even if it is a piece of iron, it will eventually fall apart when there are more and more cracks.
