"There is actually only one way to understand the meanings of the past, present and future scriptures: understanding; there is only one thing to pursue: reincarnation! Those who describe their methods are those who are good at them; those who state their desires are those who attach great importance to them. The more we pay attention to it, the more it is lacking... The reincarnation of human beings is nothing more than the reincarnation of Bodhisattvas in the six realms, so what about the reincarnation of Bodhisattvas?"
Monk Cheng Yen did not explain the ideas to Yu Ci, but poured out the results of his thinking in one go. Fortunately, Yu Ci had a fairly deep understanding of the lineage of Mahakala Buddha and Bodhisattva. I also studied the "Ji Jing", so I didn't get dizzy by him.
Precisely because of his understanding, he was also confused by Monk Cheng Yen’s question:
The reincarnation of human beings is limited to the six realms; what about the reincarnation of Bodhisattvas?
... reincarnation?
Is this what Monk Cheng Yen means by his intention to start over?
If under the complete system of the Ten Dharma Realms of Western Buddhism, there is indeed the theory of six paths of reincarnation, and it is indeed possible to reincarnate, break the illusion of the womb, and practice practice again, but the six paths of reincarnation have been destroyed for five kalpas, and there are still What's the meaning?
Thinking about it again, Yu Ci remembered that the scriptures of Krishna Sect clearly talked about the six realms. The most typical one is: "When the calamity comes, the five yin troubles, the three poisons are raging, and the cycle of life and death , there is no such thing. After the kalpa is over, the three realms will be open to heaven without any obstacles, and the six paths will be one and the same. It is difficult to distinguish between high and low, mixed in the mud, and struggling to achieve anything. Only the disciples of the Buddha, those who are good believers, and those who are good at giving will surely obtain it. Nirvana is forever free from the troubles of life and death..."
From this passage, it can be seen that Mahakala Buddha and Bodhisattva want people to believe in their teachings in order to achieve transcendence when and after the calamity comes.
According to what Monk Cheng Yen said, the Bodhisattva Mahakala herself also wants to start over?
Whether you are a Bodhisattva or a monk, if you want to do it again, you are taking a huge risk, and you must have a reason why you have to do it.
As the leader of a religion, one of the top powers in this world, and an ally that even the Rakshasa Ghost King must take seriously, who is dissatisfied with his own state?
Monk Cheng Yen did not mention it, just smiled and said:
"The Bodhisattva has been laying out his plan for a long time, and now it is time to take action. With his strength, the young monk bets on him that the color of the world will change and the world will be reorganized. So what? Since he wants to take this opportunity to start over, he will win the soul. It’s destined to be a long-lasting life, so why bother?”
He hasn't made it too clear yet, probably because he has many things to guess.
However, standing at the top of the system of laws of heaven and earth, the information Yu Ci has mastered is not comparable to that of Cheng Yen. Even by listening and guessing, he has already understood seven or seven hundred and eighty-eight, and there is a layer in his heart that even Cheng Yen has difficulty in. The understanding of knowing. Therefore, Yu Ci testified that Yan was almost finished and nodded:
"Is that so? Then I wish Master Cheng Yen that you get what you want."
As he spoke, his thoughts moved slightly. In the starry sky, dozens of stars were emitting brilliance, and even more unpredictable energy was connected among them. When the orifices were aligned, he saw a long rainbow flying down from the starry sky and landing next to the two of them. , the brilliance turned dark, then solidified, and finally turned into a naked male body.
Cheng Yen said nothing, just waiting for Yu Ci's explanation.
Yu Ci said: "Although I don't care much about the goal of seizing the body, it is still difficult to sustain the soul for a long time. I will give you this talisman puppet. You can place your soul temporarily, and you can also place it on the power of the stars to warm you. Nurturing and nourishing, I give it to you, Master Cheng Yen, which is considered to be a powerful act."
Cheng Yen looked at the talisman puppet and did not refuse. He only saluted Yu Cihe.
Yu Ci did not accept his courtesy and just smiled and said: "Actually, I have something to do and would like to ask Master Cheng Yen for help."
"Please speak."
"Although this talisman puppet can last for a long time, I think, Master Cheng Yen, you won't be able to stay in it for a long time. I hope that even if you find the target of your soul, don't be in a hurry. Abandon this thing... According to your wishes, it is possible to go to the Buddhist Kingdom of the West. At that time, you can put it in the heart of the Buddhist Kingdom, okay?"
Hearing Yu Ci’s incredible request, Cheng Yen didn’t ask what the purpose was and said calmly:
"If I go to the Buddha's land, it will be as I wish, Brother Tao."
"Then... see you later!"
Cheng Yen turned to the Talisman Puppet, took one step forward, and the remaining soul merged with it. The puppet, which had been standing silently and solemnly, opened its eyes, and the aura in it was like flames, jumping like substance.
After a brief familiarity, Cheng Yen could easily control this new body, so he gave another gift:
"Please send me your message!"
Yu Ci laughed, and the Cheng Yan and the condensed talisman puppet in front of him disappeared and were sent out of the void in his heart.
As for where Cheng Yen will go next, he no longer cares.
Yu Ci opened his eyes, escaped from the emptiness in his heart, and looked over the corner of the pavilion. He saw thick clouds of calamity, and the sun was not visible. He stretched out his hand to pluck, and his fingertips seemed to be tracing through the air, but in fact they were following the thread of a certain law. , wiped it over, but didn't really touch it.
If he had just met, most people in the world would still not feel anything, but the problem is, there must be someone secretly watching - what he made up is the entire law of life and death. lineage, and after this, there is Mahakala Buddha Mother Bodhisattva.
On the boat that moved mountains and clouds, he already knew that he was not the only person who stood on the law of life and death, there was another person who "shared" with him.
As for the consequences of this kind of "sharing", he had not seriously considered it before, but now, waiting for Monk Cheng Yan to tear open the **** hole, even though there are still many unresolved matters, the corresponding situation , he has understood:
If you were on a cliff and about to jump off, holding a life-saving rope in your hand, would you put one end of the rope and the corresponding trust into the hands of Mahakala Buddha?
Obviously not.
So, neither does Mahakala!
After turning around, it turns out that there is another person with a deep hatred... who is much more serious than imagined!
Yu Ci was silent, unaware of the passage of time. When he came to his senses, the sky was already dark. At this time, he found that someone had been waiting under the rockery for a long time.
Due to Xuezhi's problem, people's minds on the island have also changed, and the access control has become looser and looser. In the past, I had to ask Xuezhi to turn his hand over again, and then ask him what he meant, but now he took it upon himself to bring him in.
However, the person who came here had a connection.
The man who stood respectfully with his hands lowered, at least on the surface, did not suffer from waiting for a long time. When Yu Ci's eyes fell on him, it made Lingling shiver and react. He raised his head, met Yu Ci's eyes, and immediately bowed his head to the ground and sang loudly:
"Bai Min of Sui Xin Pavilion has met Master Yu."
Bai Min is the shopkeeper of Suixin Pavilion in Sanhuan City. Yu Ci met him on the Baji Sect's ship during the talisman-fighting meeting. In my impression, this person has the tact of a businessman, and he also pays attention to making money with kindness. He is well versed in the ways of human relationships and is not annoying.
However, there seems to be some inconsistency between Yu Ci's impression of this person and this person's impression of him.
Yu Ci had such a discerning eye that he had already noticed that when this person was singing, his mood was ups and downs, and his muscles were trembling slightly. There was no guilt or malice, just pure fear. I still remember that on the boat, after Yu Ci showed off his strength, although the man was in awe, he was not as fearful as he is now, walking on thin ice.
I wonder what stimulation you received?
Yu Cicai was not in the mood to bully others. Seeing him like this, she found it funny and just said: "Come up."
Bai Min did not dare to raise his head, kept his body arched, and quickly climbed up the rockery. Outside the pavilion, he raised his hands above the ceiling and presented the post. He spoke hurriedly but spoke clearly: "I came here without telling you. I hope you will forgive me for interfering with the Master's Qing Dynasty. It is actually ten days later, when the "Three Treasure Ships" of my pavilion are passing through, I am bold and want to invite the Master to attend the meeting to add color. May I take the time to attend the meeting? ”
Yu Ci stretched out his hand to take the post, and with a glance, he understood that this person also knew that his weight was a little too light, and there were a lot of tricks used in the post.
Probably she was also worried that Yu Ci had never heard of the name "Three Treasure Ships", and the post also had some explanations.
This "Three Treasure Ships" is not a particularly old thing, nor does it belong to the Sui Xin Pavilion family, but a few merchants "deeply feel that although there is a dazzling array of things in Haiou Market, the good and the bad are mixed" and "worry that fellow Taoists from all walks of life will have difficulty distinguishing them. "You'll have to pay every drop of money", so every year they spend a lot of money to send the high-quality and rare things bought at the market thousands of miles away to the inland for people to choose from.
The name of the Three Treasures refers to physical treasures, which are conventional magic weapons, elixirs, etc.
The second is "Tao Bao", which refers to various methods and techniques for cultivating magical powers, as well as information and intelligence related to various levels and regions.
The third one is "human treasures", which are relatively taboo things. They are creatures and foreign races kidnapped from overseas, outside the territory, or even other void worlds. It is also an emerging trade after the great catastrophe of heaven and earth.
Yu Ci couldn't help but laugh. Obviously, this was a stumbling block for Suixin Pavilion and other merchants to the Maritime Chamber of Commerce. It seems that he is just a second-rate dealer, and the final money is earned by the Maritime Chamber of Commerce. However, if he operates it well and forms a partial monopoly on the high-end resources in the market, artificially creating a situation of "there is a price but no market", it will still have a negative impact on the market. The authority of Haiouxu has been impacted, and it has even been reduced to a "miscellaneous" market, making it difficult to attract real rich and powerful people.
Of course, how to do it and what the effect will be depends on how the two parties engage in intrigue
Bai Min also explained repeatedly: "This three-treasure ship came upstream from the Cangjiang River and has not yet truly anchored. All kinds of treasures are in the most complete form. Mr. Tianjiao of the Tianzhuan Society and Mr. Mengdu of the Baji Sect have tried their best to show it. We just made our first stop on the lake, and the two of them wanted to take this opportunity to invite a real person to meet them, but I shamelessly beat them to it and sent them the message."
Mengdu, after the meeting to seize the pill and fight for the talisman, haven't you gone back yet?
On the other hand, Mr. Tianjiao is a relatively pure person who studies talismans. Yu Ci has a good impression of him, but she cannot let him delay for ten days.
Yu Ci was slightly startled when she saw the signature on the post. Above, Mr. Tianjiao ranks first, Mr. Mengdu ranks second, Bai Min ranks fourth, and there is another person in the middle, but his name is familiar.
Shen Wan?
