The first Buddha in history

Xie Zhenghong walked into the territory of Huayan Sect with Kong Kong, even if his heart was calm, he couldn't help but be shocked by the appearance of Huayan Sect.

In front of me is a lush forest of vegetation, blooming like a brocade, and the sky is constantly flying with various fairy birds, with melodious voices.However, after walking through this luxuriant forest, you will see a huge white jade lotus mountain.

Looking from a distance, it looks like a huge white jade lotus flower blooming in the valley, someone took out a piece in the middle, pressed it everywhere, and turned it into pavilions and pavilions.In the very center of this lotus mountain, there is a huge lotus pond. Isn't the swaying lotus in the lotus pond exactly what this mountain looks like?

Seeing Xie Zhenghong was a little surprised in Liao Kong, and he couldn't help feeling proud.

The monks who came to Huayan Sect for the first time could not help but marvel at their generosity.

"This place was originally a barren mountain. Later, my patriarch of the Huayan Sect discovered that there was jade hidden in it, so he used boundless Buddhism to remove the dirt, and invited his friends at that time to carve the entire mountain in the shape of a lotus flower. And our Huayan Sect The main hall is exactly located in the essence of this Jade Mountain. Otherwise, we would not be able to afford the consumption of the four large formations outside." Liao Kong explained slowly, and then led Xie Zhenghong to look at the main hall.

"There is a field in front of the main hall, which is the place where the Dharma is promoted. At that time, the eminent monk will also give lectures on it."

Xie Zhenghong looked up and saw that there was indeed a blank field. There were no futons on the field, only raised white jade round tables, which were about the size of a futon.I'm afraid that's where they'll be seated.

"Lingyu has a spirit. While we absorb the aura in Lingyu, on the other hand, we will often sit on it with Lingshi and exercises to complement each other. After a few years, maybe Yushan itself will give birth to a little spiritual wisdom. You know." It is very common in the cultivation world to become a spirit from a mountain peak, and taking care of it carefully is also a great help.

Liao Kong said so, presumably he has some knowledge about it.

Accumulating spiritual weapons can also give birth to spiritual wisdom, let alone such a big white jade mountain?

"It's really clever." Xie Zhenghong bowed his head and said yes.

The attraction of that eminent monk was too great, and he didn't have so much time to gossip with Xie Zhenghong when he was free, so he had to call a younger brother to arrange Xie Zhenghong to enter their place, which was a public place open to Buddhist disciples. Although the place does not have too advanced exercises, it has the most complete collection of books in the world of Daochun, and many Buddhist practitioners from other places often come there to borrow books.

Liao Kong arranged Xie Zhenghong there, which was considered well-intentioned.

After Xie Zhenghong thanked him, he slowly flipped through the scriptures in the library until the day when the Buddha's birthday meeting began.

On the day of the Buddha's birthday meeting, the entire Huayan Sect was filled with a cheerful and solemn atmosphere, not to mention the petals falling from the sky, and the faint sandalwood burning everywhere, just the various long-established monks who appeared on the field, It is enough for the monks who have followed the elders to learn more.

Interestingly, Xie Zhenghong discovered that Master Hongshan, the master of Sansi, was wearing the monk's uniform of the Huayan sect, and it was not a cassock made by Caiyi Pavilion at all.

This is a bit strange.

Xie Zhenghong thought about it for a while, then put this idea behind him.

This has nothing to do with him.

On the contrary, if the Caiyi Pavilion Master hadn't rejected him, I am afraid that Senior Wen would not have agreed to make him a cassock?

You should also thank the other party.

Thinking of this, Xie Zhenghong couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and put his mind on the Buddha's birthday meeting again.

It is said that the predecessor of the Buddha was a white elephant with six tusks. When he was born, he walked seven steps on the ground, looked around, and raised his hand and said, "I am the only one in the sky and on the earth."

The Buddha's birthday party naturally cannot do without the six-tusk white elephant.

It's just that although there are few white elephants with six tusks, it is easy for a monk to create one. Naturally, such a creature cannot become the incarnation of Buddha.Therefore, during the Buddha's birthday meeting, countless monks recited the scriptures devoutly. Hua Yanzong specially created a technique to condense the spiritual thoughts of these scriptures into the appearance of a six-tusk white elephant.Like sandalwood, it slowly rises into the sky, and then emits some golden Buddha light.

Believe it or not, at least there is respect for the Buddha.

Such a move is similar to almost all Buddha's birthday ceremonies.

Wen Chunxiang once told Xie Zhenghong with a smile that these monks put all their minds on this, and they are no different from those officials in the world who please the emperor.

With Wen Chunxiang's words as a foundation, Xie Zhenghong seemed very calm when he actually saw such a scene.

However, other monks, even monks who came here to observe the ceremony for the first time, were inevitably surprised.

Even if the orthodoxy is different, Shakyamuni Buddha was able to pass down the orthodoxy and form a school of his own, leaving his mark in countless cultivation worlds. Every world has his incarnation and some legends. Such ability is naturally worthy of the admiration of all monks .

The monks chanted sutras, and their thoughts turned into six-tusk white elephants, which can be regarded as the prelude to the Buddha's birthday meeting.

The Buddha's birthday meeting is almost divided into four steps. Leaving aside the details, there is always no escape in general.

The first is to welcome the Buddha statue.

After the ringing of the bell, the monks of Huayan Sect bowed three times to the top, and six Buddhist disciples stood up, holding specially refined pans in their hands, holding incense trays in their hands, and singing "Nan Wuben" in their mouths. Teacher Shakyamuni Buddha".

As soon as the voice fell, a swastika Buddha light descended from the sky, and a golden Buddha statue appeared faintly in the sky.

The power is astonishing, and many monks can't help but feel admiration at the moment when they face each other.

"Don't worry." Many elders transmitted their spiritual senses to the disciples, "These special tricks of Fa Xiangzong are just phantom images of Buddha statues. Every Buddha's birthday meeting, there will be Buddhist sects from the big world to cast spells from the big world. , and send these signs."

Many disciples came back to their senses and suppressed the discomfort in their hearts.

Xie Zhenghong looked at the golden Buddha statue quietly, feeling calm in his heart.

It's just some magical means, how can I get a glimmer of brilliance from the Buddha?

With such behavior, it's no wonder that Senior Wen dismissed this kind of Buddha's birthday meeting.

Xie Zhenghong sighed slightly in his heart, but seeing the excitement in the eyes of many young Buddhist cultivators on the field, he suppressed his emotions.

For the sect, such a method can make the disciples of the sect devote their hearts to the Buddha and increase their awe, which is the best.

The second is to sit and take a bath.

This is common in the mortal world, but almost none in the world of cultivation.

However, there are still monks who recite the "Mantra for Bathing" together, calling it "Nanwuxiang Yungai Bodhisattva" three times, and singing some hymns, such as "Bodhisattva descends into the clouds... the music of heaven plays the sky..." and so on.

Afterwards, nine golden dragons rose in the sky, and countless streams of water spit out from the golden dragon's mouth, turned into drizzles and fell, but it was formed by the condensation of extremely rich spiritual energy.

It was a great gift from Huayan Sect to the monks present.

Many monks absorbed it immediately, and their mood became slightly happier.

Of course, the demon cultivators raised the defensive formation in time to avoid being contaminated by such "holy water".

unlucky!

The third is to consecrate and circumambulate the Buddha.

Not only should they sing "Praise of the Buddha" together, but also "Praise of the Buddha".

"There is nothing like a Buddha in the sky and in the world, and the world in the ten directions is also incomparable. I can see everything in the world, and nothing is like a Buddha."

Hearing that, Xie Zhenghong felt a little blushed.

Probably in his reserved and low-key Buddhist career, he has never seen Buddhist monks praise anything in such a sentence.

cough cough.

Dharma and sword cultivators forgot when they heard it, because the orthodoxy is different after all.

Finally, it is to return to refuge.First read "Hui Xiang Wen", and then sing "Three Refuges".

To take refuge in the Buddha, one should wish all living beings to understand the Dao and develop the supreme mind.

Taking refuge in the Dharma, we should wish all living beings to go deep into the scriptures and have wisdom like the ocean.

When you take refuge in the Sangha, you should wish all living beings to govern the public, and everything will be free from hindrance.

"The merits and virtues of bathing the Buddha are extraordinary, and the boundless blessings are all dedicated..."

At this point, the necessary steps for the Buddha's Birthday Conference are finished.

Xie Zhenghong breathed a sigh of relief, and finally felt a little more relaxed.

Fortunately, Senior Wen is resting at this moment, otherwise Senior Wen might have scolded this Buddha's birthday meeting in hundreds of tricks.

As an outsider, Xie Zhenghong felt that it was very troublesome for Huayan Sect to do these things. No wonder it took 100 years to hold it once.

The preparatory work for the Buddha's birthday conference is over, and the next step is the main show of the exchange of feelings between the various sects.

Well, after singing the praises and hymns, it's time to sing the list.

Let's start with Guiyuanzong and Luojianzong.

Among these people, Xie Zhenghong met Li and Guang, as well as Shen Potian and Zhu Ning.But they were all sitting separately, apart from smiling at each other when their eyes met, they couldn't find any other time to talk.

Ugh.

It's a pity that fellow Daoist Xie is so young and beautiful, but he has to sit with those bald donkeys.

Shen Potian, Qi Yongyuan and others looked at Xie Zhenghong, sighed in their hearts, and thought of going together.

At this moment, Xie Zhenghong was sitting with a group of eminent and well-known eminent monks, which attracted most of the eyes. Many young monks couldn't take their eyes off him once they saw him.Among them, the monks of the magic way are the most unscrupulous.

Although they came to Huayanzong to join in the scene now, they couldn't do anything practical.However, looking back and forth with their eyes to tease them is also a good trick of these demon cultivators. If they see the right way, Hua Yanzong can't stop others from double cultivation with themselves.

Without him, Xie Zhenghong sat in the middle of a group of old monks with black hair and an ascetic robe. It was like putting a pearl in a stone, and it was difficult not to be eye-catching.

"Who is that?" A delicate girl from the Yin Guile Sect poked her senior brother and asked in a low voice.

It was a low voice, but the monk's ears were so sensitive that he heard everything that should be heard.

The monk who was poked by the girl put away his frivolous smile, and looked at the staring eyes of his junior sister, showing a clear expression.

"Naturally, he is someone who has been talked about countless times by the master."

With the body of a casual cultivator, he overwhelmed countless heroes on the Tiandan List, and even broke the pill into a baby before Geng Yifeng in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, and was invited by the Huayan Sect to participate in the Buddha's birthday conference. Xie Zhenghong.

For these demon cultivators, they know better than anyone else what good seedlings have emerged in Buddhist cultivation.Although immortals and demons are not compatible, there are still few monks who take killing demons and demons as their mission, and Buddhist monks are not at odds with them by nature.As for any magic cultivator, who doesn't have a few magic weapons that are refined with other people's blood and soul, and they are convenient and convenient. When fighting with magic cultivators, they can take the opportunity to contaminate their magic weapons, which is perfect.But when you meet Buddha Cultivator, and these bald donkeys recite a few more scriptures, they will purify the grievances and resentment spirits in those magic tools, and turn them from a good magic weapon into a waste, which is terrible!

And these things are merits and virtues for Buddhist cultivators, which can improve their cultivation, and they are happy to do this kind of thing.

But in the same way, Buddhist cultivation is undoubtedly a great supplement to demonic cultivation.

Whether it is harvested for tonic, used for refining tools and alchemy, or even directly ingested, it can greatly increase their skills.

In this way, the relationship between the demonic cultivator and the Buddhist cultivator cannot be well thought out.

But he had to give these old monks face.

During the Buddha's birthday conference, these powerful demon cultivators who jumped around were invited to listen to the Dharma. Whether they can be influenced is one thing, but at least they can be obediently not to cause trouble during the Buddha's birthday conference.For Buddhist practitioners, this is equivalent to saving the lives of countless people, which is a great merit.Therefore, even if these demon cultivators are an eyesore, you still have to pinch your nose to let them come over.

It's annoying to see each other, but that's all.

Fortunately, there was Xie Zhenghong at the Buddha's birthday conference this time. After listening to those annoying libretto and expressionless monks, he finally found a seductive Buddhist cultivator.

It's harder than panning for gold in sand!

If I can double repair with him...

Gee.

Many demon cultivators were drooling at Xie Zhenghong.

This is almost the same as those demons and ghosts looking at Tang Seng's flesh.

"He is Xie Zhenghong?" The girl was slightly surprised, "You are really young." Even younger than her.

Although most of the monks kept their youthful appearance, those with sharp eyes could still tell their real age.Xie Zhenghong will definitely not be over 40 years old, but he is already a monk in the Nascent Soul Stage. At his age, many monks are still struggling in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Really people are more popular than dead people.

The head of the Huayan Sect sat in the middle of the dojo, looking over the audience with a benevolent gaze.

While listening to the congratulatory gifts from those sects, he said a few words about Amitabha, and turned a blind eye to the small movements and voices below.

There are countless sects who came to Hua Yanzong to congratulate, and it took a long time to read a series of gift lists.That's not counting, there are other congratulatory gifts sent by the powerful people in their own names, and they have to be mentioned one by one.As for those small powers, naturally they don't have this kind of treatment.But even so, it's pretty boring.

At the beginning, the monks were surprised by the handwriting of a certain sect, but after hearing it, it was just a name.

Hua Yanzong's disciples kept faces that couldn't see their emotions clearly, scattered in the field, and sat down by themselves.

The most indispensable thing for a monk is concentration.

Probably because the people below were talking about Xie Zhenghong, Xie Zhenghong could pretend not to hear it, and there were some Buddhist monks who were not young, so they couldn't help looking at Xie Zhenghong who was sitting beside them.

Some of these Buddhist cultivators are from the world of Daochun. These are not bad, and they are still polite to Xie Zhenghong.

There are also some from outside, purely for eminent monks, and they don't know much about Xie Zhenghong when they are newcomers, so they can't help but want to know a thing or two at this moment.What is going on with this Buddhist monk who is dressed like them but feels that the painting style is not right?

"Poor monk, don't be angry, don't you know the Dharma name of fellow Taoist?" The one who spoke was a Buddhist monk from Heguang Temple, who had met Xie Zhenghong once by Liao Kong's side when he appeared with his brothers from the same sect.His cultivation base is the highest, and his reputation is also the highest among the younger generation of Heguang Temple.Sitting here alone this time, although it is somewhat of Heguang Temple's face, it is more of a personal value for him.

The people of Heguang Temple knew Huayan Sect very well. Although they were separated by a world, they were all working hard to send their own disciples to Faxiang Sect in the big world.This time, the right to host the Buddha's Birthday Conference was lost to Huayan Sect, so they naturally didn't want to swallow this easily.The dispute of orthodoxy is endless, even if they are both Buddhists, there are irreconcilable contradictions.

Ru Jie Chen was already ready to confront Liao Kong, but he didn't want to be attracted by Xie Zhenghong.I couldn't help but want to make a good plan for my sect and ask about the origin of this Buddhist practice.If the other party is really Hua Yanzong's hidden trump card, then he has to go back and discuss it carefully.

"The poor monk can't call yet." Seeing that Jie Chen took the initiative to talk to him, Xie Zhenghong replied in a friendly manner.

A look of surprise appeared on Jie Chen's face, "Fellow Taoist hasn't been ordained yet, doesn't he even have a dharma name?"

"The poor monk never had a teacher when he was young, so he got his succession by accident. He didn't see the mentor of the succession, so he didn't dare to take the Dharma title and shave himself." Xie Zhenghong replied with a smile.

He originally wanted to give himself an account, but Wen Chunxiang refused because it was too ugly.

As for the degree of shaving, it was Wen Chunxiang's mine. He guessed it right, and Xie Zhenghong didn't even mention it later.

Fortunately, his inheritance was borrowed from the name of Wen Chunxiang's vest "Prajna Zen Master", so it is reasonable to use this as an excuse.

In fact, self-shaving is not recognized by Buddhist sects. Like Liao Kong, he entered the temple by self-shaving, and he also started as a handyman disciple.Later, when he entered the Huayan sect, the master who accepted him had to shave him again, which was considered a success.

The dharma name is even taken by the elders of the master or someone who has attained the Tao.

Xie Zhenghong didn't have any of these people, Wen Chunxiang, who was the only one on top, wished that the little monk would become a real bald donkey later, and would never use these things to demand Xie Zhenghong.

The dharma name and degree of shaving are just a way to show one's mind.

Who said you can't practice without these?

Besides, Xie Zhenghong's title is "Half Buddha".

Half Buddha and half Buddha, naturally only half Buddha.

"So that's how it is." Jie Chen clasped his hands together, nodded knowingly, and then said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist is really a person with deep roots of wisdom. It's really embarrassing for me to be able to achieve such achievements without the guidance of my elders."

"Fellow Daoists are honored. I heard that Daoists have successively practiced arts and specializations, and the road is far away. The poor monk only achieved such achievements through various chances and coincidences. It is no different from fellow Daoists step by step, with a solid foundation."

In this way, you come and talk to me several times before you stop.

Xie Zhenghong has always been neither humble nor overbearing, his attitude is easy to say, and his speech is clear and has a hint of Zen.I heard that he was born as a casual cultivator, and he has not formally joined any sect.Immediately, many buddhist cultivators beside him became concerned and wanted to bring him back.

Probably because Jie Chen himself also noticed the burning eyes of many colleagues around him, so he stopped asking after asking.

The person who he discovered first, asked too clearly. He would not do this if it was cheaper than other sects.

Liao Kong, who had been staying with these buddhist monks all this time, kept his face motionless, pretending he didn't hear it.

Their Huayan Sect has tried to win over Xie Zhenghong in this way, but they still haven't got a letter.

These fellow Taoists want to cut off their beards halfway, and it depends on whether they agree or not?

It is difficult to practice Buddhism, but every once in a while a few geniuses can emerge, and they are born to know the Buddha, almost born for the Buddha.It is not difficult for such a person to ascend to the golden body almost smoothly, and there are records to follow.Occasionally, it will definitely provoke countless fellow Buddhist practitioners to fight for it.

Regardless of whether Xie Zhenghong is such a person or not, Hua Yanzong has his eyes on him anyway.

By the way, I would like to thank Yinzhen Temple in my heart for discovering Xie Zhenghong's early decline.

The first day of the Buddha's birthday meeting passed smoothly.

When Xie Zhenghong got up and was about to go back to the Sutra Pavilion to read the scriptures again, he found himself surrounded by many beautiful monks.

There are men and women, teenagers and young people, and there are all kinds of beauties.

"Where is the master?"

"Master, we all have some feelings after listening to the Dharma today. I wonder if the master can answer one or two questions for us?"

Xie Zhenghong suddenly remembered what Wen Chunxiang had said, and couldn't laugh or cry.

I'm afraid I'm really being targeted by these people.

"Sorry, poor monk still has important things to do." Xie Zhenghong simply saluted with one hand, turned into a rainbow and flew away from here.

Many demon cultivators left behind were very angry.

Well, I didn't think I could impress a Buddhist cultivator so easily.

The next day, Xie Zhenghong was pulled out of the Sutra Pavilion by Sansi.

"Think twice, you..."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist, that eminent monk has come ahead of time, follow me quickly." Sansi held Xie Zhenghong with one hand, and wanted to rush to the ashram.

Xie Zhenghong smiled, pulled Sansi back and arrived at the ashram almost instantly.

Only then did he think twice that the other party had already become a Nascent Soul, much faster than himself.

"Everyone came so fast."

At this time, the dojo has been occupied by countless Buddhist cultivators, half of them are Huayan Sect disciples, and the remaining half are Buddhist cultivators from outside worlds.

As for the practitioners...

They knew that today it was the eminent monk who preached the Dharma, so they restrained the disciples in the room early.

If the disciples of the sect go to listen to other people's Dharma, and have the heart to abandon the Tao and turn to the Buddha, what face do they have to go back to see the head of the sect?

This eminent monk is so powerful, he must be unfathomable when talking about Buddhism, if the disciple has a heart to study, isn't it just sending a disciple for someone else?No sect is willing to do such a thing.

Therefore, apart from Buddhist practitioners, there are no other people in this field.

"The person who came here today is the 'Distressed Zen Master' who is as famous as the 'Prajna Zen Master' in the big world. Not only has he cultivated his own Dharma seal, but he has also cultivated the 'Juebao'. His cultivation has reached the peak of the fusion stage. Kalpa is only one step away, and he was a first-class Buddha cultivator at that time." A disciple of Buddha cultivator said like a thousand treasures.

With such an eminent monk, it is no wonder that so many Buddhist sects flock to him, coming from afar from other worlds.

Xie Zhenghong sighed in his heart, but following the arrangement of Sansi and Liaokong, he sat at the front and waited for the distressed Zen master to arrive.

Suddenly, a middle-aged Buddhist monk with a distressed face and frowning appeared silently at the front of the dojo.

There is no brilliance, and there is no flash of supernatural power, just like an ordinary mortal monk.

However, the moment he appeared, all the Buddhist cultivators looked at him.

The author has something to say:

Zen Master Zuo looked around the field, and suddenly his eyes stopped on Xie Zhenghong.

The distressed Zen master frowned slightly, seemingly puzzled.

"Zen Master, is there something inappropriate?" The person who spoke was the head of the Huayan Sect, Abbot Pu Shi.

"That Buddha Cultivator seems to be haunted by the aura of Demon Cultivator?" Zen Master Zuo's voice was not too loud, but it surprised all the Buddha Cultivators in the field.

Which demon cultivator is so courageous, dare to appear in front of the distressed Zen master?

However, they followed the distressed Zen master's gaze and were all amazed.

Isn't the person who is haunted by the spirit of demon cultivation mentioned by the distressed Zen master the most famous Xie Zhenghong?
