[Journey to the West] Empty Enlightenment Bodhi

Monkey King pretentiously finished his lecture, leaving Maitreya Buddha with a dark face behind. Monkey King turned around triumphantly, picked up the golden cudgel, and planned to leave this Western Paradise.

Suddenly remembered something, Monkey King ran back again, picked up the mustard seeds, and communicated with the Tathagata through the air.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you. Although there is no copper ingot for you to eat or molten iron for you to drink, the conditions are a bit poor, but don't worry, although the food is poor, there is definitely enough space. What do you think? You can do whatever you want, not only is there no living things in it, but the air is also very thin. If you don’t see any clues in 500 years, then you don’t need to come out in the future.”

The Tathagata Buddha was dumbfounded, watching Sun Wukong's big face appearing in the sky and then disappearing in the sky, recalling what Sun Wukong said just now, he was really thinking about it.

Sun Wukong walked away carelessly, and Maitreya Buddha walked away smiling while rubbing his stomach. Only the cronies of Tathagata Buddha remained, standing aside miserably, not knowing what to do for a while.

The Tathagata Buddha thought about many things in the mustard seed, and thought about many, many messy things, but he didn't think of a way to get out.

He remembered his Dao heart and what he did, he remembered the original intention of becoming a Buddha, he remembered the first Western Paradise, although it was difficult and difficult, but every believer was very pious, at that time, there was no power, There is no ranking, everyone is a Buddhist believer, and there is no distinction between arhats, messengers, Bodhisattvas, and Buddhas. It was only later that Buddhism gradually flourished in his hands. With more people, power gradually increased.

What followed was the Bodhisattva's rank and file, the Arhat's rank and file, and the closeness and closeness of the envoys. The only thing that didn't exist was the Buddha's heart that saved all the people in the world back then.

Walking, walking, I was fascinated by the flowers and deviated from the road.

Power is really a harmful thing.

Tathagata also thought of his own expansion of the territory in these years, and the Buddhist kingdom he created by himself, the kingdom of deceit.

He thought of his brother-in-law, someone once went to court for his brother-in-law's cannibalism, and told him, the king of the Buddhist kingdom, but he suppressed the matter with one hand, because Dapeng was his His uncle was close and distant, so he never restrained him, and even indulged his cannibalism.

Tathagata remembered many things again, many things he had forgotten.

The ragged walker on the road, the staggering old man, those dreams that formed his Buddha heart, but finally shelved in his mind and suffered from dust.

The only thing he didn't remember was the "mustard seed Nasumi" in the Huayan Sutra.

In fact, it is very close, and the Buddha's and Zen's thoughts are always close and similar, but they seem to be very far away. It seems that everything is covered with dust when it reaches the mind; it seems that everything loses its name when it reaches the mouth.

The desire for power is inflated, he has been in a high position for a long time, and he has long been unfamiliar with Buddhism and Buddhism. How can he understand the little joke that Monkey King made with him.

But mustard seed Nasumi.

Sun Wukong's original intention was to tell him that with a Buddha heart, the whole world can be accommodated.

However, Tathagata remembered his lost Buddha heart, but forgot this Buddhist classic.

The expansion of power should be blamed, or the cumbersomeness of trivial matters should be blamed.

Should he be blamed for his insincerity, or his heart is too big.

Everything is meaningless.

----

Ever since Sun Wukong used the "Mustard Seed Nasumi" that day, everyone in the Buddhist family was convinced, knowing that their own learning skills were still inexperienced, and that many Buddhist scriptures were not yet fully understood, so they went home and pondered carefully.

As a result, Buddhism has gained prosperity for nearly a thousand years. Everyone knows the meaning of Sun Wukong's sentence "There is a certain number of life, and there is a certain number of death". , How can it prosper for nearly a thousand years.

Everyone regards Sun Wukong as the ancestor of Buddhism, and with the title of "Fighting and Conquering Buddha", he stands above the Tathagata Maitreya, and everyone worships him with respect and humility.

----

When Sun Wukong competed with Tathagata Buddha, there was no such peaceful and peaceful atmosphere in the heavenly court.

When the resentment was soaring, the clouds covered the sun, and the mortal national teacher said that it was a dog eating the moon, but he didn't know that it was the resentment of tens of thousands of monsters who died in vain.

Shi Zhi went to the heavenly court and found that the original formation could still be repaired.So, she immediately started preparations, repaired the formation from the heaven, and completely refined all the monsters in the Lion Camel Kingdom.

Dapeng originally moved together with Shi Zhi, but suddenly, he received the sorrow from the Tathagata, and suddenly burst into tears.

"Shi Zhi, something happened to my nephew, I have to go back and have a look." Dapeng Niao put down the tools in his hand, turned to Shi Zhi and said.

Shi Zhi just hummed: "Be careful yourself."

Dapeng didn't know that Xitian had already become the battlefield of Bodhi. He thought that Bodhi's thoughts were only on Taoism.

Shi Zhi didn't know that Bodhi would attack Xitian, but Shi Zhi had followed Bodhi for so many years, even if she didn't receive orders or hear the wind, Shi Zhi could guess a general idea.

Bodhi is probably going to attack Tathagata Buddha.

However, Shi Zhi couldn't tell Dapeng about this directly, she was worried that Dapeng would ruin her plan, so she could only gently remind Dapeng to be careful.

Dapeng agreed happily, showed its original shape, and flew to the west sky.

Dapeng's speed is rare in the heavens, and it didn't take too long, almost as soon as the Tathagata Buddha felt that the world was hopeless, he went to the West Paradise.

"Where's my nephew?!" Dapeng stood in the West Tianbao Hall, and asked a few little Buddha cultivators guarding the door fiercely.

"Yes, yes, on the lotus throne!" A little Buddhist monk pointed at the lotus throne tremblingly.

"Fart!" Dapeng Niao pulled a little Buddha cultivator and threw it aside, "Where is someone on the lotus throne?!"

"Yes, yes," another little buddha retreated all the way, stammering and pointing at the lotus throne, "in a small world."

"What?!" Dapeng was furious, "Who put my nephew in?!"

-

When Dapeng Niao rushed to rescue his little nephew Tathagata, Shi Zhi lowered her body, repaired all the formations, and wiped away the sweat that oozed from her forehead from time to time.Shi Zhi thought it was just that the formation was too exhausting, but she didn't know that it was actually a preliminary sign of her gradually weakening body.

When the sky was completely dark, Shi Zhi felt dizzy for a while, but she didn't take it seriously, she only thought that she was busy all night and was too tired, so she relied on her willpower to hold on.

Later, Maitreya Buddha brought the white-haired mouse to the heavenly court, and the white-haired mouse told Shi Zhi exactly what Sun Wukong said, but Shi Zhi just smiled and said: "Of course I know the heavenly demon. If you want to resist the way of heaven, you must There are sacrifices to be made, I know that."

The white-haired mouse had something in his heart, but Shi Zhi only wanted to help Patriarch Bodhi complete his great cause, so he didn't want to listen, so the white-haired mouse shut up.

Later, when Bodhi was fighting with the Taishang Laojun, Shi Zhi stepped forward and volunteered to protect Bodhi.

Taishang Laojun is naturally not reconciled to being late, other people's helpers have come, how can there be fewer helpers in their family.

Hearing Taishang Laojun's call, the Bull Demon King rushed over and wrestled with Shi Zhi with his weapon in hand.

Rakshasa girl also came from the west, a couple joined in this vigorous battle together.

· Shi Zhi fights with the Bull Demon King, and Maitreya Buddha is evenly matched against tens of millions of old ghosts and Rakshasa women, and it is very difficult to move their hands.

The role of each other is probably to trip each other up and prevent the other side from sneaking up on their own Tianzun from behind.

Suddenly, Shi Zhi vomited blood and sprayed the Bull Demon King all over.

The Bull Demon King was overjoyed, although he didn't know why Shi Zhi vomited blood after hitting him, but who could be unhappy when his powerful opponent was injured suddenly!

Then, the Bull Demon King slapped Shi Zhi five meters away.

Shi Zhi's complexion was pale, and she braced herself to fight the Bull Demon King again.

However, at the end of the crossbow, the power can't wear Su Su, not to mention that the Bull Demon King is still steel, not Su Su, Shi Zhi quickly lost, showing his decline.

Shi Zhi somehow sensed that the way of heaven has been disturbed, and she knew in the dark that everyone in the Bodhi Illusion has gathered in this heavenly court, just waiting to attack the heavenly palace.

It's just that the way of heaven has changed, and the celestial demon must also be buried. At this moment, she finally understood what Sun Wukong meant. The celestial demon, the celestial demon, turned out to mean that they should perish together.

However, even if she could choose again, she would still take this path without hesitation.

This is what the Jade Emperor owes to the Yaozu, and this is what Taoism owes to Confucianism.

When Dapeng came, he saw that Shi Zhi had turned into ashes and disappeared in the battle with the Bull Demon King.

Dapeng was furious and beat the Bull Demon King to death.

The red boy brought by Mipeng saw it, and spewed out the real fire of Samadhi, burning Mipeng to death.

"Samadhi real fire?!" Taishang Laojun turned pale with shock, "This doll's Samadhi real fire is even stronger than my furnace fire?!"

Taishang Laojun was overjoyed, and immediately removed the tight band on Honghai'er's head, and took Honghaier under his command.

Bodhi and Taishang Laojun are still fighting, but the two generals Shi Zhi and Dapeng have been lost here. Seeing that her husband died unexpectedly, the Rakshasa woman immediately wanted to fight Maitreya Buddha.

However, she and the Bull Demon King lived and died together, and now that the Bull Demon King is dead, she is also dead.

Before Maitreya retreated, the Raksha girl blew herself up before her life was exhausted.

Maitreya Buddha was affected, this is not a female ghost of ten thousand years, this is a female ghost of tens of thousands of years, no matter how powerful Maitreya Buddha is, he can't compare to a female ghost of tens of thousands of years, he was burnt immediately Face, disfigured, blinded, lost sight.

Firstly, the red boy hated Maitreya Buddha for putting it in a bag earlier, and secondly, he hated the man who murdered his parents with a group of people, and now he opened his mouth to breathe fire. Take the life of Maitreya Buddha.

Although Bodhi has been fighting with the Taishang Laojun, he still pays attention to the movements in other places.

He didn't keep Shi Zhi because Shi Zhi, as a victim of overthrowing the way of heaven, must die.

He didn't save Dapeng, because Dapeng was Tathagata's uncle, and he didn't need to save an enemy.

However, he had to save Maitreya.

Bodhi rolled it casually, rolled Maitreya away from the original place, threw it far out of the battle circle, and threw it to the Dasheng Mansion.

Sun Wukong and Maitreya are old acquaintances, and they will not die without saving them.

Let's say that before Shi Zhi's death, everyone who sensed the bodhi illusion went to the Heavenly Palace.

When Shen Ran led his troops to attack Shangtianting, the Jade Emperor was having fun in Guanghan Palace.

All the heavenly soldiers and generals were very quiet when they heard Nantianmen's report, especially when they heard that the Jade Emperor was in Guanghan Palace, their expressions were very delicate.

Nantianmen was the first city gate to be breached. Several of the heavenly soldiers and generals guarding the city died, and the rest all retreated all the way to the Lingxiao Palace, guarding the main hall of the Lingxiao Palace, and refused to go out again.

The situation is clearly one-sided.

Seeing that the Heavenly Court is about to collapse by itself, no matter how calm and calm Taishang Laojun is, there is no way to continue to calm down.

After receiving the signal from the Taishang Laojun, Honghaier immediately joined the battle and wrestled with Bodhi.

The three people present all knew well that Honghaier couldn't do five tricks under Bodhi's hands, and it had to be Honghaier who seized the opportunity.

But it doesn't matter, Taishang Laojun just wants a little free time, enough for him to take out the secret weapon he had prepared long ago.

Bodhi and Taishang Laojun fought in Tusita Palace, Taishang Laojun made a false move, swayed Bodhi, turned around, took his own heart and blood, and went to the back hall of Tusita Palace, only to see him shouting loudly "Open!" The back door of the Tushita Palace slowly opened, and tens of thousands of demonized heavenly soldiers and generals, holding weapons and making extremely low threatening sounds from their throats, came out of the Tushita Palace in an orderly manner. , and walked towards Lingxiao Hall.

Shen Ran has already led the troops to capture the Lingxiao Palace at this moment, because the goalkeeper of the Nantianmen assisted inside and cooperated with the inside and outside, there were actually not many casualties.

Shen Ran counted the number of people, divided them into different teams, and sent them to clean up the remnants of the Jade Emperor.

At this moment, when only Shen Ran and a dozen people were left in Lingxiao Palace, tens of thousands of demonized heavenly soldiers and generals came in from outside the door.

Shen Ran smashed the distress talisman and resisted with all his strength, trying to last until Shi Zhi rescued him, but he didn't know that Shi Zhi had already turned into a force resisting the way of heaven and disappeared without a trace.If you want to wait for Shi Zhi to rescue him, you will never be able to wait in this lifetime.

The number of demonized heavenly soldiers and generals is huge, and Shen Ran's mistake was to disperse the many forces, so that the demonized heavenly soldiers and generals were caught off guard and defeated one by one.

Shen Ran gritted his teeth and insisted on fighting to the death.

The people in Bodhi Illusion are all elites. However, no matter how many elites there are, they cannot match so many demonized heavenly soldiers and generals.

Desperately dealt with the last demonized heavenly soldier and general, Shen Ran was exhausted, blood floated into the sea, and broken limbs and legs floated in the red blood water, Shen Ran fell into the bloody water and never woke up again.

At the same time, the Bodhi Illusion collapsed. The agarwood, one of the supports, died from its roots, losing a quarter of its support. The Bodhi Illusion could no longer maintain its balance, and the resentment in it overflowed and spread to all parts of the world.Occasionally, pedestrians pass by, and they only feel that the place is eerie and haunted day and night.

After tens of thousands of years of Bodhi illusion, finally annihilated in the long river of history.The only reputation is probably at the junction of Nanfangbuzhou and Xiniuhezhou, which adds a lot of color to the myths and stories of Nanfangbuzhou.

Fighting for three whole months

There was blood on the ground.

The bluestone floor of the heavenly court was dyed deep red, with a sticky touch.

When Taishang Laojun was subdued, there was no one left in the heavenly court.

Bodhi announced what happened to Sanqing back then, explaining that Yuanshi Tianzun was killed by the Supreme Lord. The evidence is conclusive, and the Supreme Lord cannot deny it.

Taishang Laojun's expression remained unchanged, and he only said: "Since ancient times, kings have been defeated. I am sorry for Yuan Shi, and I should pay for my life." Taishang Laojun suddenly said, "It's just that this life should not be taken by you. "

As soon as this was said, the Taishang Laojun exploded the inner alchemy.

Bodhi on the side couldn't react in time, was smashed upright, and lay in the coffin for a full 300 years.

300 years, whether it is long or not, is not short.

It is enough for Bodhi to change from "everyone knows who you are" in the Three Realms to "who knows who you are" in the Three Realms.

In short, because of these 300 years, Bodhi has lost the qualification to become No.1 in the Three Realms.

What, you ask who is No.1 in the Three Realms?

Hey, guess what?

The people in the Heavenly Court died and were wounded, except for stumps and broken legs, there was nothing left.

A mighty purge washed away everyone's influence, and the whole world was reshuffled.

Taoism has been hit hard, Buddhism has been hit hard, and Confucianism has also been hit hard.

At this time, a brand new method emerged, and they called themselves Legalists.

The leading man, wearing Tsing Yi and holding a ruler, often said that "the rule of law is the foundation of all things", and also said that "every kind person deserves the best treatment."

The rise of Legalism is only a matter of time.The concept of the legal system has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, what is lacking is just the heat.

-

The world of Buddhism has flourished for hundreds of years. Since that day when the Dapeng bird had no way to save their Tathagata Buddha, the Buddhists have deeply realized that Sun Wukong’s Dharma is profound and profound, and they also feel that Sun Wukong came from the east. If they want to save them My master, I have to run to the east.

Maybe if they go to the east to study and study, they will be able to get the way to save their master.

Therefore, all the people in the Western Heaven gathered to discuss the matter of sending people to Dongsheng Shenzhou to learn scriptures.

Guanshiyin Bodhisattva pushed Tang Seng out: "I have a disciple under my command. This person is from the Great Tang Dynasty in Dongtu. He must be very familiar with Dongtu. Why not let him go for a walk."

Everyone has no objection.

Tang Seng met Sand Monk on the road, and Drifting Monk and Zhu Bajie were hiding near the Lion and Camel Country to avoid the limelight. It was a coincidence that Drifting Monk and Zhu Bajie were thinking that the matter was almost over, so they should come out to take a look at the limelight and see if they could Can't go home.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the house, the Drifting Monk met Tang Seng, and Zhu Bajie kept yelling that he was unlucky. Back then, he babbled about "if the master still needs us to go to the west to learn scriptures", which made it a prophecy now, otherwise there is no chance.

Drifting led Tang Seng to meet Zhu Bajie, and Zhu Bajie led Tang Seng to find Bailongma, and the group traveled eastward.

"Master, where are we going to study scriptures?"

"Go to your elder brother's house."

Zhu Bajie and Drifting wanted to say something, but they still didn't say it in the end.

Zhu Bajie said with emotion: "I really answered the words of that person when I was staying overnight that day."

"What are you talking about, let me listen to you." Tang Seng said.

Zhu Bajie shook his head and sighed: "Where are there scriptures in the west, if you want to get the scriptures, you need to go east."

"Yes," Drifting patted his head, remembering this incident, "I remember that time!"

The three of them walked all the way, talking to each other to relieve boredom.At this moment, Tang Seng heard that he was going to ask Sun Wukong for advice, and he felt somewhat awkward, but he is no longer that mortal Tang Seng. He has been registered under the name of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva all these years. .

Along the way, he rarely encountered hardships. Tang Seng was a little strange at first, but then he was relieved.

It is heard that the monsters have been seriously injured since then, but all the monsters who survived have fixed residences and their own villages.

Therefore, it is easy not to embarrass passers-by.

Tang Seng and his party were happy and at ease. They walked to and fro, admiring the scenery and the bustle, and occasionally asking for a few fasting meals.

The three of them were a little strange, Zhu Bajie said: "I see, the status of monsters is not much different from that of ordinary people. After Shi Zhi made it out, I saw that there are many monsters who are literate and reasonable, but their status is not that good. It's not like what Shi Zhi said back then, he jumped to the top of the people, so in this way, wouldn't it be a big loss for Shi Zhi to sacrifice a whole country of monsters?"

"No loss, no loss," Drifting said, "If it is the usual, how can monsters be the same as humans, and how can they learn these things." Drifting sighed, his tone was quite emotional, recalling the year, "I think back then , the monster takes the form of a human and walks in the world, and a special monster medicine is needed to suppress the monster energy."

Three people and one horse all the way open and frank, open to the sky, let them go.

Finally one day, Zhu Bajie Sand Monk followed Tang Seng all the way to Huaguo Mountain.

The monkeys in Huaguo Mountain are noisy.

"Madam Wang is too pitiful."

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty is really cruel. His wife has been here for so long, and His Majesty refuses to even see her."

Zhu Bajie felt a little embarrassed when he saw Bodhi, but Bodhi didn't take it seriously and just didn't let them in.

"The Tathagata Buddha didn't even know where he went, why do you still come to him to learn from him?"

"We don't go to him to learn from him, we go to him to learn from him." Zhu Bajie laughed along with him.

The author has something to say:

One more point, I will try to finish it tonight.
