Chapter 255: I only ask the Buddha to give me freedom
"To strengthen Buddhism?"
Xu Chunlin's mind returned from Daluo Heaven and his brows furrowed slightly. Doesn't it look ridiculous to ask a True Martial Taoist to look for talents from the Buddhist sect?
But since the Three Pure Ones did not object, he could only obey. After all, this was a matter concerning the improvement and development of the small primitive world. Although Buddhism and Taoism had mutual dislikes, this matter had to be done.
Xu Chunlin could vaguely understand what Taishang Daojun meant. It just wanted him to interfere.
Xu Chunlin stood on the top of the city wall, lowered his head and thought carefully. Looking at the Xiangfan City, he suddenly thought of a person who seemed quite suitable.
"The Heavenly Powers have all returned to heaven, and the Earthly Evils should return to the earth!"
There are many wronged souls and lonely ghosts in the ghost city of Xiangfan, but Xu Chunlin can see them all at a glance. Before, Xu Chunlin wanted to pack them up and send them to the underworld after solving many problems.
It seems that it is no longer necessary now!
If he remembered correctly, a female Dharma King from Mount Nalanda would come here soon to perform a ritual of salvation.
These wronged souls and evil spirits are just right for setting up a trap!
The three Buddhas of the past, present and future were determined by the Three Pure Ones and the original Buddha, but the four great Bodhisattvas are still missing. It would be a wonderful thing if one could make them one's own.
Xu Chunlin raised his lips to a wicked smile: "Buddhism and Taoism are one family. Isn't it normal for a family to love each other?"
I just don’t know whether the Six-Pearl Bodhisattva will change his itinerary, but Xu Chunlin thinks he probably won’t.
Six-Jewel Bodhisattva is the founder of one of the three major Buddhist sects in Mount Nalanda in the Western Regions. She is also an extremely beautiful woman. The branch of the Buddhist sect in Mount Nalanda in the Western Regions that she leads is the weakest among the three major Buddhist sects in Mount Nalanda.
In the original novel, the reason why the Six-Pearl Bodhisattva wanted to take Xu Fengnian to Mount Nalanda to practice together was to have the Beiliang Palace and 300,000 cavalry to back her up. This would naturally consolidate the power of her branch and her position.
He is one of the three great masters of Mount Nalanda in the Western Regions, and is a man of great magical powers and wisdom.
Although the brothers Xu Fengnian and Xu Chunlin have been keeping a low profile, the situation in the world is now clear and it seems that they cannot hide it from her eyes.
She could naturally see that both of them were rotten on the outside but golden on the inside. Now Xu Chunlin was in the prime of his army and was in charge of Beiliang. If she had to choose someone to practice with, Liuzhu Bodhisattva would naturally choose Xu Chunlin.
Xu Chunlin snapped his fingers and asked Yinqi Yebushou to look for the trace of the Six-Pearl Bodhisattva.
Sure enough, she was found in Qingzhou, and judging from her footsteps, her destination was Xiangfan City.
---
Two days later.
Xu Chunlin looked at the celestial talisman that connected heaven and earth with a red rope and smiled lightly, because the talisman kept shaking.
The people who were traveling in and out of the city gate saw a strange woman walking out of the city gate.
She had shaved off all the 33,000 strands of hair on her head and was wearing a snow-white monk's robe. On her wrist, she had a white snake biting a white pot.
Her bare feet were as white as fat and pearls, and her jade feet were not covered with a speck of dust. She walked lightly onto the suspension bridge. Outside the gate of Xiangfan city, the ghostly aura was as heavy as snow covering the sky and the earth, but she was the only one who looked like a Guanyin Bodhisattva, saving all living beings.
At this moment, in the city of Xiangfan, which is known as Diaoyutai, the heavenly talisman burned to ashes and thousands of ghosts left the city!
There was no one walking in the moat, but in an instant the water surged and boiled, as if thousands of troops were passing by.
The woman in white clothes, white snake and white pot had skin whiter than snow. Such a fairy woman walked out of the gate of Xiangfan city, but was stopped by a man in black robe.
The man in black robe smiled and said, "Since you are my guest, how can I not show my hospitality as a host?"
Xu Chunlin looked at the woman in front of him. She was very tall, like a white jade tower, trembling and swaying, and she was even slightly taller than Xu Chunlin.
Most of the men in Liangdi are sturdy and strong, and Xu Chunlin is even more so. Ordinary tall women are half a head shorter than him, but this female Dharma Queen is taller than him, the Crown Prince. Not to mention how unique her clothes and temperament are, her height alone is quite eye-catching.
What is amazing is her appearance. Although she is an old woman in her forties, she does not look old at all. She can be said to have the secret to maintaining her youth.
Her appearance is no different from that of a 20-year-old girl, with kind eyebrows and a red mole on her forehead. Her eyes are pure and clear, which makes people feel pity for her.
The woman in white clothes as white as snow opened her mouth and said, "I came here uninvited, I hope you won't mind. You have committed many sins and have suffered many karmic damages, so I came to Xiangfan this time to save more than 100,000 evil spirits and accumulate immeasurable merits for Your Highness."
"Killing sins? Merit?"
Xu Chunlin looked up as if thinking about it, and chuckled: "Is that so?"
The image of Xu Chunlin in the eyes of the Six-Pearl Bodhisattva suddenly changed. A figure like a god or demon appeared behind him. Next to the figure was a surging sea of blood. The figure stood in the center of the sea of blood, motionless.
The sin of killing was like black ink, transforming into an inky black dragon snake, coiling around the figure, and everyone else who saw it would be terrified.
With his immeasurable merits, he transformed into a golden divine turtle and suppressed the surging sea of blood, making it calm and peaceful.
Finally, the dragon snake and the black tortoise merged into one and transformed into the Black Tortoise Dharma Image. Its divine power was as powerful as a prison, vast and boundless, inconceivable, unobservable, and could not be looked at directly.
The Black Tortoise howled towards the sky, and his roar seemed to be a spiritual fluctuation, which shook the Six-Pearl Bodhisattva's mind and soul. A trace of bright red appeared at the corner of his mouth, dripping onto the white clothes and slowly spreading.
The wronged souls and evil ghosts behind the man in white were so frightened that they cried and howled like ghosts and crawled on the ground in fear. Thousands of ghosts came to worship the ferocious beast that shook the sky.
"Amitabha, I have done this in vain!"
The Six-Pearl Bodhisattva clasped her hands together and murmured softly. She had wanted to do Xu Chunlin a favor, but she had not expected that the other person had the ability to easily suppress these hundreds of thousands of wronged souls and evil ghosts.
She lowered her head and was about to walk past Xu Chunlin with a kind look, but Xu Chunlin grabbed her white wrist as white as mutton fat.
"I heard that you are the female Dharma King of Mount Nalanda, known as the Six-Jewel Bodhisattva. It is said that you possess the transformed forms of Guru Avalokitesvara, Guru Padma King, and Guru Wrathful Vajra. Would you mind letting me see them?"
The woman in snow-white clothes tried her best to pull her wrists out of Xu Chunlin's hands, but those big hands were like golden hoops.
The first-grade Vajra Realm comes from Buddhism, and the Six-Pearl Bodhisattva has the physique of the Great Vajra Realm, but now he looks so weak and powerless in Xu Chunlin's hands.
Xu Chunlin played with the jade-like and soft hand and asked with a smile: "Why, Bodhisattva is unwilling to teach?"
It took the Six-Pearl Bodhisattva a long time to utter a few words: "I am not your opponent, why bother asking for trouble?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, not necessarily. Maybe if we change the location, I won't be a match for you, Bodhisattva!"
Xu Chunlin's words were extremely explicit, and it was unclear whether the Six-Pearl Bodhisattva understood or not, and whether that pale red face was due to anger or shame.
Xu Chunlin looked at the older woman who was a few inches taller than him with a half-smile on her face. Her white jade-like breasts were about to fall, and her two plump breasts were trembling.
"Avalokitesvara, observe the voices of the dragons, cows, and horses in the world; ordinary people can be liberated by observing their voices. If ordinary people can be liberated, can you help me be liberated as well?"
"I only ask the Bodhisattva to give me some alms!"
She shook her head slightly and began to chant in Sanskrit: "I, Guanyin, you are not at ease and are not worthy of practicing dual cultivation."
Xu Chunlin didn't know why, so he laughed and said, "Since I'm not comfortable, why don't I ask the Buddha to give me some comfort?"
"For a Bodhisattva, is there any difference between saving the world for a lifetime and saving just one person for a lifetime?" Xu Chunlin asked again.
The six-bead Bodhisattva frowned slightly and shook his head: "No, they are all saving people, and they are all deeds of immeasurable merit, so there is no distinction between high and low?" "I have the virtue of saving the world and helping people, but I also have the sin of killing people. Saving me is saving the world. I dare to ask if the Bodhisattva has the great perseverance, great merit, and great determination to feed the demon with his own body to persuade me to change my evil ways and return to the right path?"
Xu Chunlin pulled the white wrist with frost a little closer to him, like a little gray wolf deceiving a big white rabbit.
"Pooh!"
"I can't speak to you."
Liuzhu Bodhisattva was furious. She could see that Xu Chunlin had bad intentions. She just kept trying to pull her hand away. At this moment, Xu Chunlin was like the King of Hell in the ghost town of Xiangfan, not letting her escape.
It was also like the devil Mara, who misinterpreted the Buddhist scriptures and worldly principles and wished to leave a stain on the pure white lotus.
"The big white rabbit is so white, with two ears standing up. It loves to eat radishes and vegetables. It jumps around so cutely!"
At this time, for some reason, a group of children came to the city gate, singing innocent songs, but it seemed so weird.
"Big White Rabbit, so white..."
As he sang the ballad, Liuzhu Bodhisattva felt his body getting heavier and heavier, and his head became drowsy.
"not good!"
"Om!"
Six-Pearl Bodhisattva immediately realized that something was wrong, and his tongue burst into thunder. The illusions around him shattered like a dream bubble. There was no Xiangfan city gate at all.
Instead, there is a golden world with infinite Buddha's light. There are countless monks and arhats in it, and the Buddha constantly recites scriptures and chants the soul-calling Sanskrit sound.
"Hey, you still found out!"
A man in a black robe appeared silently in front of the Six-Pearl Bodhisattva and said with a smile, "This is the first time I have used the principles of salvation in the magical power of the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm of Bodhisattva Heart and Yuan Yin, so I am not very familiar with it."
"I have already pried open a corner of your Buddha's heart, but I was too impatient. I should have processed it slowly to get a Bodhisattva puppet."
Liuzhu Bodhisattva felt a chill in his heart. He didn't even know when he had fallen into Xu Chunlin's trap. Xu Chunlin's method was really too terrifying.
"Are you scared?"
"This is the most authentic magical power of your Buddhists. After subduing the demons and monsters, you can imprison them in this palm-sized Buddha kingdom and convert them into Dharma protectors. This can be said to be the specialty of the Buddhists!"
"Would you be afraid if it happened to you?"
Xu Chunlin looked at the Six-Pearl Bodhisattva with a smile and asked back.
The Six-Pearl Bodhisattva struck out with his palm, but his figure dissipated like a phantom bubble, and then re-condensed in another place. His Vajra power had nowhere to be used.
"The illusory body is the Dharmakaya, which is free from stain and dust."
"All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows; like dew and lightning, they have no real form. All these things are the same for all living beings. Because they are all things, they arise and perish. I now do not see all things as empty flowers, and I wish to be like all others and always have this view."
The grand voice echoed throughout the entire Buddha Kingdom in the palm of your hand.
The Six-Pearl Bodhisattva seemed to have realized something. He chewed on these words carefully. His wisdom was indeed extraordinary. He suddenly said, "In this Buddhaland, there is no real form. Everything is born from the reflection of the mind."
"This is your mind, not mine!"
After saying this, Six-Pearl Bodhisattva emptied his mind, free of all appearances, and turned a deaf ear to the soul-calling Sanskrit sounds. After a moment, a chaotic void appeared beside the Six-Pearl Bodhisattva. Xu Chunlin smiled casually, and the Buddha Kingdom in his palm shattered.
When Liuzhu Bodhisattva opened her eyes again, her fair wrist was still being held by Xu Chunlin, and Xu Chunlin's face had already moved closer to her at some point.
“You are really smart!”
Xu Chunlin praised him, and then said: "I have a place for you, I think you are qualified for this position."
The six-bead Bodhisattva was not used to Xu Chunlin's close face, and uttered two words from her rosy red lips: "Let go!"
"Don't let it go!"
Xu Chunlin seemed to be a scoundrel, pretending to be frivolous and said: "I finally managed to hold on to you, what if I let go and lose you?"
"I'm not running."
In fact, after seeing Xu Chunlin's strange Buddhist magical powers and wise words, Liuzhu Bodhisattva was unconsciously attracted, changed his inner thoughts, and wanted to learn a thing or two.
After hearing her promise, Xu Chunlin let go of her wrist and said to her directly, "I heard that you have a consort goddess in your tantric sect. My request is quite simple. How about you be my consort?"
"Of course, there are benefits for you. The origin of Buddhism is in the Western Leiyin, which is the land of the Lapis Lazuli Pure Land. I happen to know two of the leaders of the sect. I can grant you the status of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and make you the leader of a sect. You can also learn various wonderful Buddhist methods. The method of holding the Buddha's Kingdom in the Palm is one of them. I wonder if you are interested?"
"Western Thunder Sound?"
The six-bead bodhisattva frowned and said, "Why haven't I heard of it?"
Xu Chunlin lied to her, "This is a secret. A grain of sand is a world, a leaf is a bodhi tree. The saints of the three religions have the means to open up paradise. How can you know about the ancestral temple that has been hidden and sealed for thousands of years?"
Although the Six-Pearl Bodhisattva had doubts, the means of the Buddha Kingdom in his palm was undoubtedly the best proof. As for being Xu Chunlin's consort...
Her original plan was to make friends with Xu Chunlin, abduct him to practice dual cultivation with him, and use the power of Beiliang to consolidate her own position.
However, after realizing that Xu Chunlin's cultivation was far superior to his own, Liuzhu Bodhisattva immediately realized that it was not certain who would become the other's vassal!
So I don’t want to!
But now Xu Chunlin was tempting her with Buddhism, which really made her heart moved, so she felt a little conflicted.
Xu Chunlin added fuel to the fire and said, "Do you know the two Zen temples? The monk Nagarjuna and Li Dangxin are now studying Mahayana Buddhism in Leiyin, the Western Paradise. When they return after completing their studies, I think the two Zen temples will surpass Mount Nalanda!"
The six-bead bodhisattva asked anxiously, "What is Mahayana Buddhism? What is so wonderful about Mahayana Buddhism?"
"The Mahayana Dharma can help the deceased ascend to heaven, resolve all grievances, eliminate unforeseen disasters, save the distressed from suffering, cultivate the body of infinite life, and achieve the state of no coming and no going."
Xu Chunlin talked about its various benefits.
The Six-Pearl Bodhisattva nodded and lowered his brows, just like Guanyin who was obedient and attentive. Then, as if he had made up his mind, he took Xu Chunlin's hand and let it rest on his snow-white wrist.
"I am doing this for the thousand-year-old Dharma lineage of Mount Nalanda, for sacrificing my life to seek the Dharma, for saving the devil, for..." The Six-Jewel Bodhisattva seemed to be convincing himself.
Xu Chunlin gave a wicked grin, and as if he had succeeded, he grabbed her, holding her hand, one of them in dark clothes as black as ink, the other in white clothes as white as snow, and entered the ghost town of Xiangfan.
In the end, it was the Bodhisattva who had the thought and ruined his life!
