Hey, don’t use the word "we" too smoothly
Feeling helpless at Shadow Ghost's attitude, Yu Ci finally shook his head: "You mean Buddha bones? Zhao Zi said before that the above will and karma are intertwined..."
"Where did the karma come from the Buddha's bones?" Shadow Ghost directly interrupted him: "As soon as the Buddha's bones came out, the karma fire dissipated, which means that the power of the vow was pure and not contaminated by karma, so it must have been issued and not destroyed. Therefore"
"Oh?" Yu Ci suddenly thought that Zhao Zi had said before that the Compassionate Light Buddha of the Ten Directions made a desperate wish, but failed. "You mean, the power of the wish attached to the Buddha's bones , different from other places? ”
Shadow Ghost responded confidently: "In order to restore the six paths of reincarnation, the monk did not hesitate to give up his past life cultivation and Buddhahood, but he was smitten by demons and fell short of his achievements. Before he died, if there was a spirit still lingering, either resentful or sad, but Even if I am desperate, I can’t be 100% sure that he will definitely leave a chance for his own family. This Buddha’s bones are not stained with karma, which is a clear proof."
"Make a wish before you die?"
"Exactly so"
Ying Gui is quite qualified in analyzing people's hearts, and Yu Ci also agrees, but he is confused. Even so, what is the use of the desire not to be affected by karma? Can it be eaten?
"You can improve your cultivation diligently," Shadow Ghost said in a tone that simply hated iron for not becoming steel. "The power of vows belongs to Buddhism, but as long as it is not specifically limited, it can affect all sentient beings. If you can understand its origin and use it properly, like Even if you take an elixir, you won’t be far behind.”
"Do you understand?"
"Of course, if the power of the wish is unbreakable, how could we have fought all the way to Chuyou'an before the five calamities?" In the laughter, the upper and lower jaws of the demon's head rattled, the scene was ridiculous
However, Yu Ci was really interested: "What's the solution?"
"It's nothing more than accepting, accepting, destroying, abandoning, destroying, and abandoning. It's easy to say. A sword cuts off the conditions for realizing the vow, or forces the person who made the vow to become discouraged and give up voluntarily. This is the most direct way. Of course, there is no benefit."
Shadow Ghost was really excited when he saw something related to Buddhism, and he talked eloquently: "The other is to fulfill the vow, which is to help the person who makes the vow complete the vow. This is quite remarkable, just like using the compassionate light. The great vow made in front of the monk has accumulated so much power that if you can fulfill it, it is not impossible for you to be promoted to the level of immortality in one fell swoop."
Follow your wish? Thinking about it, it's like handing over the complete six realms of reincarnation to the Buddhist kingdom. Yu Ci doesn't have the ability or interest.
Shadow Ghost also understands that the one it focuses on is the last one: "Then making a wish means that no matter whether you can achieve it or not, you must first accept the vow and bear the burden on yourself, and then the infinite power of the wish can It will be used by you for the time being, but whether it can withstand the pressure brought by the oath is another matter."
Yu Ci frowned and asked, "Zhao Zi said that by taking the bones, must he be fulfilling his wish?"
Shadow Ghost was stunned for a moment and then responded: "You have to be qualified to make a wish, especially Monk Ciguang who has such great vows. How can he just find a cat or a dog and hand it over to him? According to those bald donkeys, what if? Only those who are destined to be successful
"In fact, if you have a predestined relationship, like-mindedness, perseverance, etc., you must have one or the other. By the way, it is best to have the same sect inheritance, and you can usually succeed... …hiss, that Buddhist niche”
Yu Ci smiled and nodded
Shadow Ghost used his understanding of the Western Buddhist country and added: "More than that, although the Buddhist niche is good, it has supernatural powers but no mental methods, but there should be a supporting set to ensure that he can indeed achieve great enlightenment. The inheritance of the temple"
Yu Ci has another doubt: "If the person named Zhao really fulfills his great vow, wouldn't it be very hard for the rest of his life?"
"More than judging from the situation of Ciguang's bones, whoever takes up the great vows and does not fulfill them will have their karma burned day by day, and their own Taoist foundation will be destroyed. It is all supported by the power of the vows. If A weak will will lead to eternal ruin..."
Speaking of this, Shadow Ghost suddenly got stuck. It was originally preaching the benefits of wishing, but by saying this, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?
Yu Ci, however, still discussed the matter matter-of-factly: "Zhao Zi said that guy is not of such a temperament, and there are still doubts about this matter... As for the power of the vow on the Buddha's bones, I will give it a try"
Such a decision shocked Shadow Ghost
At this moment, the roles of the two were reversed. Yu Ci talked about the reason for trying: "How did this Buddha bone appear just now? Although it relies on fragments of magic weapons, it can arouse spiritual responses and produce changes. , According to those bald donkeys, I am considered a destined person, so I am qualified... Right or wrong?"
"Uh, not bad"
"Whether the Compassionate Light Buddha of the Ten Directions is angry or sad, if he wants to leave a chance for his great vows, he himself can no longer do it. He can only ask God's will to find someone like this today. Someone has the opportunity to explore the secret palace of Huangquan and pass on the wish. This wish cannot be forced. Can the wish be forced on?"
Shadow Ghost shook his head: "How can it be possible to fulfill a wish? It requires that you and I agree, and even our temperaments must be in harmony, otherwise there will be a risk of destruction."
"That's it. Speaking of which, carrying out wishes is just like a business. The price is fair. Look at the appearance of his skeleton. It scares people to death. How many people in the world are like Zhao Zi? In that case, treating it as a treasure? That is a special case. Monk Ciguang would not expect such a thing. As you said, this Buddha bone is proof.
"In this way, if Zhao Zi said that the person who made a wish over there was to 'go and ask', on my side, it should be 'to ask for'. Since he came to ask for me, the vow he made should be easy. It’s good if you can be accepted, and if you even give a few more benefits, there’s a lot to be done.”
Shadow Ghost opened and closed his jaw twice, and suddenly realized that all these reasons made Yu Ci drink up. He wanted to add something, but he had nothing to say
After staying for a long time, he said fiercely: "Then come"
Yu Ci immediately followed Yinggui's instructions and set up a Dharma altar in the space of the Yunlou tree. The fingers of the still burning Buddha bones were placed on the incense table. It was inevitable to use the Taoist rituals to inherit the Buddhist vows. Weird, but this is also a method of sincerity, not a matter of form
When everything was ready, Yu Ci saluted the fingers of the Buddha's bones, and then penetrated with his heart
Soon, he said "oh"
Shadow Ghost was even more nervous than him: "How is it?"
Yu Ci grinned: "I didn't feel the wish, but the Shifang was shouting inside...the fragments haven't been destroyed yet, but they gathered together and screamed"
"Damn"
In the shadow ghost's curse, Yu Cizhong concentrated his thoughts, directly filtered out the roar of "Ten Directions", pushed his thoughts deeper, and then he touched something indescribable. , his heart moved slightly, and then he followed Professor Shadow Ghost’s method and devoted his mind to it:
“We meet by chance, are we meeting by chance, are there any unfulfilled wishes?”
In the depths of the Buddha's bones, a very light wave immediately fed back. Yu Ci didn't use any force at all and allowed the wave to drive his mind to discover the source of his wish
But what is a little surprising is that the light and shadow flashing before my eyes, spreading out layer by layer, is actually looking back at a long memory
The past is like a dream, not too clear, and the jumps are very powerful. It only gives people a vague understanding. Fortunately, Yu Ci has Zhao Zi's "explanation", but it is easy to see that it is the loving light of the ten directions. The process of the Buddha's cultivation, enlightenment, fierce battle with the sword cultivator in the previous life, and the thousand years after the war, and then turned against his fellow sect
Before, all this was done in silence, but in the middle, a voice suddenly appeared, as if someone was questioning, and the tone was shocked and angry:
"World Honored One, you have taken away the Dharma Realm of Pratyekabuddha by force"
At this time, the Compassionate Light Buddha of the Ten Directions had been severely damaged in the previous fierce battles. The oil was exhausted and the lamp was dry. He was dying, but his voice was solemn and decisive:
"Sacrifice your heart as you wish, destroy your body and walk in the fire, abandon the other world, and create reincarnation again"
As soon as this vow was made, the blood-stained pure land was in the memory, and the color of the heaven and earth changed four kalpas later. Yu Ci’s heart was also throbbing with it. This was the original grand vow of the Ten Directions Loving Light Buddha
From here on, the memories brought by the Buddha's bones suddenly became much brighter. After that great vow, the Buddha of Compassionate Light of the Ten Directions transformed into fire and was reincarnated. With the help of the power of the vow, after only a hundred years of practice, he had the ability The extraordinary magical power then spread throughout the four extremes and eight wastelands, inside and outside the territory. After countless catastrophes, he finally collected the original imprints of the two paths of hungry ghosts and **** in the original six paths of reincarnation.
At this time, I happened to arrive in the Northern Wilderness, so I stayed here and tried my best to reshape the two realms and repair the **** and hungry ghost realms. Yu Ci took a breath:
This monk is really capable
He has always been strange. According to Shadow Ghost, the Six Paths of Reincarnation is the Western Buddhist country’s own law of heaven and earth that evolved over countless kalpas before gradually taking shape. Before the nunnery was established at the beginning of that year, the Six Paths of Reincarnation was shattered. If he wanted to use the original The way to re-consolidate, even if there are already established rules, will still take ten kalpas
No matter how great the vows made by the Compassionate Light Buddha of the Ten Directions and possessing extraordinary supernatural powers, he is not a real Buddha. How can he accomplish things in just one kalpa?
Now he understands that the one who restores **** and hungry ghosts has two things to rely on:
The same thing is represented by the words "Ruyi and Fire" in his great vows, that is, using the golden body as the furnace, the power of the wish as the oil, and the mind as the fire, igniting an incredible flame magical power:
Heart Refining Dharma Fire
This fire is the golden flame burning on the fingers of the Buddha's bones at this moment. It usually does not harm external objects, even if it is swallowed into the stomach, it can melt all tangible and intangible things in the world as long as the mind is raised. Let it change its form according to your mind, improve its quality and change its nature. This is the tool used by the Compassionate Light Buddha of the Ten Directions
Another thing is also in the great vow, that is, "give up the other world." The so-called "one world", as he just saw from the memory of retrospect, is the source of the antagonism between the Loving Light Buddha of the Ten Directions and his fellow disciples:
Pratyakyaw Dharma Realm
This Pratyekabuddha Dharma Realm is presupposed to be a world where people with great supernatural powers from the outside world live side by side with the three realms of Buddha, Bodhisattva, and Arhat. They are collectively called the "Four Holy Realms." On top of it, it has only been unable to evolve to perfection for countless kalpas, and is only a semi-finished product
The Loving Light Buddha of the Ten Directions actually snatched out and demolished the semi-finished Buddha treasures transformed from the Pratyekabuddha Dharma Realm back then, and used them as raw materials to reshape the six paths of reincarnation

Tell me two things: One is that the Chuyouan and Kongyouan that appeared in the previous article were Kongyouan in my original setting, but from the beginning of writing, they inexplicably became Chuyouan when I wrote the article. After checking the outline, my brain suddenly changed, and I made a statement today: The wrong will be wrong, and the one that appears more often will be called Chu You'an
The other one is about member works. I would like to apologize to all friends who have applied for Chinese website membership for Wenjing. I originally thought that the works would become member works when they were put on the shelves this month, but there was a communication problem with Zongheng. In fact, it will not be transferred until the beginning of next month. To become a member, you will have to spend additional money to subscribe during the period. I misled everyone during the announcement and caused losses. I sincerely apologize for this
Hundred words of praise
