Chapter 185: Territory: Ciyun Dharma Realm
Facing Gu Yunli's question, Aniruddha Buddha remained silent. His divine eye between his eyebrows quietly looked at Gu Yunli, which made him feel refreshed.
He saw a strange scene from his one eye.
A lotus was clearly blooming on the brown iris, with a triangular mantra seal at the heart of the lotus. As the lotus rotated, it spiraled endlessly, resembling three rabbits chasing each other. There were three ears in total, and at first glance they seemed to be three, but upon closer inspection, they were one.
Buddha said, three rabbits share one ear.
Represents the past, present and future of Buddhism!
Gu Yunli frowned and asked bluntly, "Buddha is looking at my future?"
The three rabbit mantras in Aniruddha's eyes gradually faded, but a complex expression surged onto his face: "Yes, the star calamity is imminent, and you were born with good fortune, so perhaps you are the antidote to the star calamity."
Gu Yunli sneered at this… If I really was the antidote, would you have let the antidote almost die in the Immortal Court?
However, he still asked seriously: "Then may I ask what did the Buddha see?"
Aniruddha shook his head: "I didn't see anything... The Internet involves too many people, too much energy is intertwined with you, and it has obscured the secrets of heaven."
Gu Yunli nodded and asked, "Then may I ask the Buddha, how can one attain Buddhahood?"
Aniruddha Buddha said: "There are Jambuvipa in the world, and each Jambuvipa has a Buddha fruit. What you need to do is to pick the great Nirvana Jambuvipa."
Gu Yunli said nothing.
This sentence sounds like complete nonsense.
However, considering the information revealed by the old monk when Wuguang Buddha begged for mercy, everything is self-evident.
Aniruddha's words even revealed an important piece of information.
That is, the Buddhahood of great nirvana has not been plucked by anyone.
"Disciple has learned the lesson!"
Gu Yunli clasped his hands together and presented a jade sceptre.
The jade scepter floated into the Buddha's hand.
Aniruddha took the divine thought and scanned it, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
He said, "You have been compassionate and have done many good deeds to save countless sentient beings. Your achievements are great. Now, with the power of the Buddha Dharma Realm, I will appoint you as the Lord of the Ciyun Dharma Realm and grant you a thousand acres of land and ten thousand miles of territory. I hope you will spread the Dharma widely, educate sentient beings, and help them get rid of suffering and gain happiness, and free them from the cycle of reincarnation."
As he spoke, he raised his hand again, and a drop of crystal clear water appeared out of thin air and flew towards Gu Yunli.
Gu Yunli raised his left hand, saluted with his right hand, bowed his head and said: "Disciple thanks the Buddha for his grace."
Aniruddha Buddha said nothing, and his divine eye between his eyebrows closed.
Gu Yunli immediately turned around and left.
Along with him left was the news that he was conferred the title of Ciyun Fajie.
As soon as the news came out, the Buddhist disciples who had been hesitant finally realized.
Ciyu Dharma Realm is located in the northeast corner of Xiniuhezhou, facing Beijuluzhou across the sea, and naturally becomes a bridgehead of Beijuluzhou.
Within the Ciyun Dharma Realm, there are countless demons and evil spirits, and many of them feed the people.
No Bodhisattva would be willing to go to such a poor and barren place.
Now he is conferred the title of Buddha of No Light. This is not conferring a title, this is clearly exile!
At this point, the Buddhist community finally realized why Lingshan did not hold ceremonies or preach the Dharma.
——It is obvious that the Buddha of No Light is not in the mainstream circle of Lingshan.
……
……
The Ciyun Dharma Realm is surrounded by high mountains and dense forests.
"Go, go! Go!"
The sound of donkey drivers shouting came from the forest.
Looking closely, one can see an old man carrying a heavy tribute on his back, shouting at a donkey that is also loaded with tribute.
Behind him, there was a young man following.
He had dark skin, lean flesh like a monkey, and also carried heavy tributes on his shoulders.
The winding mountain path was long and narrow. The heavy burden on their shoulders had made them no longer in the mood to chat. The only sound left was the old man's shouting as he drove the donkey.
"Old man! Old man!"
With a call, the donkey and two men were stopped.
Following the sound, I saw a young man dressed rather strangely walking towards me.
He wore black cloud shoes and a black monk's robe, but his hair was tied in a Taoist bun with a smooth wooden hairpin inserted in it. He said that Buddha was not Buddha, and Taoism was not Taoism. "Excuse me, old man, how do I get to Pu Nan City?"
The old man saw Gu Yunli dressed up and speaking with a thick rural accent. He pointed to the road they had come from and said, "Young sir, go down the mountain along the path. When you come across a village, ask around and get on the official road. You will reach Punan City."
The young man nodded and asked curiously, "Old man, where are you going with all these bags?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the young man behind the old man suddenly became alert. He stared at Gu Yunli straightly, and his right hand quietly reached for his lower back.
The old man said, "To be honest, sir, we are going to the mountains to offer sacrifices!"
"Offer to whom?"
"Dragon Bodhisattva!"
"Dragon Bodhisattva?"
The young man had a strange look on his face.
The old man was about to leave with his donkey, but the young man caught up with him and said, "Hey, old man, can you take me out to open my eyes? I eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures, but I have never met a real Bodhisattva."
The old man looked strange: "Young man, don't join in the fun, this Dragon Bodhisattva... is not an ordinary Bodhisattva!"
The young man was surprised: "Oh? That sounds amazing!"
"No, young sir, let's go!"
"Hey, old man, I'll just open my eyes and won't say anything more."
The young man behind him got angry and said, "Just leave if I tell you to. Why are you talking so much?"
The young man took out something and said, "One tael of silver!"
The young man stopped in his tracks and subconsciously reached out to take it, but was stopped by the old man.
The old man looked the young man up and down and said:
"Young Master, you are walking in the deep mountains and old forests, but there is not a speck of dirt on your body. You must be extraordinary. This place is poor and remote, with few people. It is all thanks to the protection of the Dragon Bodhisattva. Since you are going to Punan City, then go quickly and don't cause any trouble."
The young man calmed down and said, "Old man, you have good eyesight. We are just here to watch the fun and will not cause any trouble."
As he spoke, he stuffed a tael of silver into the young man's hand.
Seeing this, the old man struggled a bit, but finally nodded.
The team then became three people and one donkey, walking slowly into the mountains. After an unknown amount of time, they finally stopped at the entrance of a large rift valley deep in the valley.
The entrance to the Great Rift Valley is extremely narrow, with a wooden watchtower built at the entrance.
When the two arrived, a shrill whistle suddenly came from the watchtower. After a while, a number of ferocious heads popped up.
"Old man, why did you come just now? Grandpa was so hungry waiting for you."
The leader was a bald man with scars all over his face, looking ferocious.
"Master, please be merciful. It's not easy for the village to collect food. Now, I have just collected enough tribute and will send it to you immediately..."
"Bullshit, is this for me? This is a tribute to Lord Long."
"Yes Yes Yes!"
The old man looked frightened and nodded desperately like a chick pecking at food.
The man in the watchtower, with a joking look on his face, was immediately satisfied when he saw this, and then he ordered the gate of the village to be opened and people to be let in.
As you enter the village gate, your eyes will immediately light up.
In the Great Rift Valley, you can see stilt houses clinging to the steep cliffs like ivy. At the end of the Great Rift Valley, on the thousand-foot-high mountain wall, there is a huge Buddha statue carved, which is awe-inspiring.
"That's the Dragon Bodhisattva?"
The young man looked surprised.
"Shh, don't talk too much!"
The old man quickly put his index finger to his lips and winked wildly.
The man leading the way heard the noise and turned around to see the young man. He had not paid much attention to him at first, but now he found it more and more strange.
"Who is this? He looks unfamiliar."
