Chapter 831: Carrying All Living Beings to the Other Shore
Brother Qian Chen still dragged his tattered monk's robe, holding his wooden bowl, and walked toward the outside of the Tuoba mansion.
People in the mansion were just about to call him, but heard the maid beside the Old Madam say: "The Madam has ordered, no matter where the little master wants to go, you cannot stop him. And you must not ruin his cultivation..."
A look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the servant at the door, and he looked at Brother Qian Chen again, but didn't expect that this thin and poor-looking monk could really gain the Old Madam's trust.
Coupled with Tuoba Tao preparing to arm himself and prepare to go to Wuchuan Town.
Even more, no one was willing to stop Brother Qian Chen, letting him walk into the chaotic Huairen Town.
At this time, the manpower in the city had been reorganized, and the Military family cultivators in the city had all begun to repair their military armor.
The women took out the old talisman armor, the talismans on which were already blurred.
The bows and arrows carefully stored at home were re-strung, the war knives used on weekdays were wiped with the issued fat oil, and all kinds of spears and halberds were taken out of the arsenal and issued to the Military family cultivators.
Even the households who were not cultivators were reorganized and stationed in various workshops.
The arrow towers at the four corners had been completely activated, and hundreds of Military family divine archers stood in the shooting ports at each level, overlooking all directions.
Huge flames burned in front of the bronze mirrors on the top of the arrow towers. The Kun oil mixed with rare spices burned, and the golden light reflected by the bronze mirrors illuminated all directions outside the city, and the same light echoed in every Weng city and fortress.
Large amounts of spirit pills and spirit grain were issued.
Elixirs with pungent medicinal smells, which were considered worthless in the eyes of the Tushita Palace, and contained pill-poisons that stimulated the spirit and squeezed potential, were distributed to the hands of the military cultivators.
In the chaos of war, Brother Qian Chen walked with his bowl, walking barefoot on the rough stones laid on the ground. The chilblains on the soles of his feet and the sickly look on his face were all caused by the infinite karma flowing between heaven and earth.
Seeing such a suffering monk, when the women in the city prepared food when large amounts of grain and grass were issued, they would put a little more into Brother Qian Chen's bowl.
Brother Qian Chen would put his hands together and pay respect to the donors.
Then he would take over all the evil Qi and karma of sickness, death, and suffering on them.
Letting infinite suffering be added to himself.
Because of the monstrous karma caused by Brother Qian Chen's intervention in this war, various evil retributions manifested on Brother Qian Chen. Sores in the mouth and tongue were for provoking war and infinite killing karma;
Ulceration of hands and feet was for honing weapons and tempering killing tools;
Being plagued by all kinds of diseases was for bestowing Military family divine abilities, making others 'strong' and killing people;
Because the various thoughts caused by this impending war surged, almost drowning Brother Qian Chen.
Separation of loved ones.
People who hate and resent each other have to meet.
The various entanglements caused by karma in Huairen Town, the lives about to pass away between heaven and earth, their most beautiful sides were reflected in the wooden bowl in front of Brother Qian Chen, on the surface of the water, and then the most miserable kinds of suffering in the human world followed.
Making the clear water in the bowl more and more bitter...
Brother Qian Chen took a sip of bitter water.
At this time, he had already arrived at the outer city wall, and the place near the city wall had already been alerted. The small school Military family cultivator just wanted to scold him to retreat, but saw the maid beside Old Madam Tuoba following behind, and then whispered something in his ear.
"Coming to bless the city wall?"
The small school frowned slightly: "On weekdays, the monks of Nanduo Temple are lazy. Asking them to bless the city wall's scripture bricks with Buddhist law, one by one, they make various excuses, not wanting to do this thankless job, preferring to go to the noble's mansion to talk about scriptures or open light for magic treasures."
"The scripture bricks of this city wall were all blessed by the brothers who practiced Buddhist magic arts on weekdays."
"Now that the big battle is approaching, why is someone coming to bless the Buddhist law now? Could it be that they don't burn incense on weekdays, but can really hug the Buddha's feet temporarily?"
"Yes, yes, yes... meeting us! You guys! You can be considered to have hugged a real Buddha!" the maid said.
Brother Qian Chen circled the city wall. The scriptures were engraved on black stone bricks, which were stone materials mined from a mountain root leading directly to the netherworld nearby.
Each piece of this stone material weighed hundreds of thousands of jin and was engraved with the "Jin Gang Samadhi Amala Sutra".
This sutra praises an ancient city named Amala in the Buddhist Pure Land, which is diamond-like and indestructible, solemn and holy. It was besieged countless times in the war between the non-heaven and the heavenly beings, but it never fell, because it was blessed by Buddhist law and everyone in the country believed in Buddhist law.
And what Brother Qian Chen recited was the "Future Star Constellation Kalpa Thousand Buddha Sutra".
It tells that after infinite kalpas in the future, the world will go from bad to empty, and when countless kalpas attack, there is a Buddha named Future Star Constellation Buddha, who has compassion for the suffering of all living beings, opens up a Pure Land in the great destruction, and preaches the Buddhist law.
Among them, a thousand people understood his law and attained the status of Buddha.
In the infinite destruction, a thousand Buddhas chanted scriptures, opening up a supreme solemn, infinitely compassionate, and nameless holy Pure Land.
Like a divine city, standing in the silence kalpa, walking toward the other shore.
"Gate, gate, paragate, parasamgate, bodhi svaha..."
Brother Qian Chen recited this sentence in the sutra, which was the Future Star Constellation Buddha, seeing the infinite living beings on Mount Sumeru in despair before the destruction kalpa, devoutly kowtowing, so he ordered everyone to get up and made a great vow—Gate, gate, paragate, parasamgate, bodhi svaha!
Meaning—Arrive, arrive, arrive at the other shore, arrive at the other shore together, sincerely wish all living beings to awaken!
A firm and unshakable great macro-vow to ferry all living beings to the awakening of the other shore, coming from the future, encompassing everything.
It seems that a voice can be heard echoing...
"The infinite living beings in the past thousand kalpas, the infinite living beings in the present thousand kalpas, the infinite living beings in the future thousand kalpas, all living beings in the past and future in the cosmic realms, will all follow me, follow me to the other shore!"
"All will awaken with me in silence!"
"Bodhi svaha..."
"Bodhi svaha..."
Brother Qian Chen carried infinite karma, and the Dao fruit he honed gradually appeared in its prototype.
At the end of time, the ultimate where the Xuanzhen Taiyi Dao fruit is located, revealed a faint ray of light. In that instant, the light illuminated from the future to the past.
It swept past the moment Brother Qian Chen was in, and swept past the moment the Buddha took up the cause and effect Great Dao.
This light arrived before the Supreme Being cut off everything and merged with the Great Dao, reflecting in the eyes of a young man who looked beautiful and beautiful, who looked up in a daze at the Supreme Dao Xie Xie Zushi in the past.
At that moment, the spirit bead suddenly bloomed with incredible, supreme sun and moon brilliance...
Xuanzhen Taiyi Demon Xie Xie Zushi was silent in the Dao Dust Bead.
The tear in his heart suddenly bloomed with light, and it seemed that countless voices, countless voices were calling his name in a low voice.
"Gate, gate, paragate, parasamgate, bodhi svaha..."
"I know, I know they exist in my heart, I know infinite living beings are with my heart!"
Xuanzhen Taiyi murmured in the endless darkness: "I will take them to the other shore, I will destroy everything to make them reborn, I will attain the status of Buddha in the infinite destruction of the future, destroy everything, and open up the other shore!"
In the place of Samsara, the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus suddenly woke up, seeing the faint light blooming on the Dao Dust Bead.
It lost its voice and said: "Other Shore Dao Fruit?"
"Why is it the Other Shore Dao Fruit... The Dao Dust Bead's demonic nature is so deep, having cut off the Bodhi heart, why is the Dao fruit cultivated in the future with the method of great vows the Other Shore Dao Fruit?"
The Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus was completely panicked.
It hurriedly looked at the cause and effect Great Dao above its head.
But it could see a Buddha who protected all living beings in his heart in the future and opened up the other shore, hidden in the cause and effect Dao fruit.
The Bodhi tree's eyebrows trembled slightly, obviously its heart was not calm either.
The Yin-Yang Fan leaned over and said cheaply: "Oh! Someone made a prophecy, really invited my Daoist sect's spiritual treasure to be the future Buddha! When the future Buddha ferries you to the other shore, should my Daoist sect collect rent?"
The Creation Tripod suppressed it. Didn't you see that the two Buddhist spiritual treasures were almost crying?
Why are you still fanning the flames?
The Western Kunlun Mirror looked at the faint light that crossed the past and future, and said in a low voice: "So the Buddha held up the cause and effect Great Dao to cover up this great vow that crossed the past and future, and covered up the infinite cause and effect within. Only at this moment, when we all look at the bead, can we discover it. Wait... if I know it now, I must have known it in the past."
"Not good, it's cause and effect..."
The Western Kunlun Mirror discovered that once she sent this thought to her past self, she couldn't brand it on the mirror light. The Buddha's attitude was: send it if you want, if you can remember it, I lose!
Don't you understand that time cannot violate cause and effect?
Time can be reversed, cause and effect cannot.
Under the blessing of the cause and effect Great Dao, it is the Buddha's life-long Dao fruit falling on this vow, meaning: May this vow be achieved!
Under the blessing of cause and effect, it is the Buddha's life-long Dao fruit falling on this vow, meaning: May this vow be achieved! Therefore, those who have not attained the cause do not know the fruit. Except for the spiritual treasures that have cause and effect with Brother Qian Chen's macro-vow, this macro-vow echoing in the past and future, in all universes, is actually unknown to anyone.
The Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus was so anxious that its petals were about to fall!
It hurriedly said to the Bodhi tree: "Bodhi Xie Xie Zushi, can you think of a way?"
The Bodhi tree sighed slightly and shook its head: "I didn't expect that what the Supreme Being cut off was not only demonic nature, but also infinite compassion!"
"This macro-vow was not issued by the Dao Dust Bead, but by the Xuanzhen Taiyi Demon Xie Xie Zushi. When he was determined to destroy everything and sink infinite living beings, there was also great sorrow in his heart, but there was a great obsession in his heart, so there was this vow."
"Brother Qian Chen interrogated his heart, and this heart is always connected with Xuanzhen Taiyi. Brother Qian Chen's heart is firm and not moved by living beings, but Xuanzhen Taiyi Demon Xie Xie Zushi has infinite compassion when seeing the suffering of the world."
"But Xuanzhen Taiyi's heart also has infinite destruction, infinite eight sufferings, and five aggregates burning."
"So after Xuanzhen Taiyi Demon Xie Xie Zushi destroys everything, he has great compassion, wants to sacrifice himself, open up the other shore, and then all the living beings he slaughtered, all the sentient beings that have ever existed in the past and future, can enter the Pure Land and attain great purity!"
"This vow will use supreme Great Dao, infinite sacrifice, and infinite perseverance to bear everything and ferry all living beings to the other shore."
"Therefore, it becomes the Other Shore Dao Fruit, the Future Buddha!"
The Bodhi tree understood everything and couldn't help but put its hands together, praising: "Praise the supreme Great Dao of the Supreme Dao Xie Xie Zushi, praise the infinite sacrifice of the Xuanzhen Taiyi Demon Xie Xie Zushi..."
The Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus suddenly realized: "So, when the Supreme Being twisted the beads and the Buddha smiled in the past, it was because the Buddha crossed infinite time and saw the Xuanzhen Taiyi Demon Xie Xie Zushi's vow to ferry all living beings, and saw the Other Shore Dao Fruit?"
"Then, isn't the Mahayana Dao of our Buddhist sect..."
"Praise the Sun and Moon Lamp Bright Tathagata!" The Bodhi tree chanted in a low voice.
In the past, the Supreme Buddha transmitted heart with heart, but it was the Other Shore Dao Fruit appearing in the world after infinite kalpas, ferrying all living beings.
That's why the Mahayana doctrine was passed down...
"What kind of logic is this? Having opened the Pure Land, can one kill without scruples?"
The Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus
"He promised a Pure Land, so naturally he wouldn't begrudge slaughtering all living beings and destroying everything!"
What kind of supreme Demon Buddha is this?
"Disaster! Disaster!"
The Twelfth-Rank Golden Lotus cried out: "The Xuanzhen Taiyi Demon Xie Xie Zushi has attained the Dao fruit of the Other Shore. Although the achievement of the Dao fruit is after the immeasurable kalpas, this not only failed to restrain the destructive thoughts of the Lord Pangu Demon Lord as we expected, but instead gave the infinite compassionate heart a reliance, holding an infinite compassionate heart to perform the great sacrifice of destruction."
"I fear Lord Pangu is even more ferocious now..."
Brother Qian Chen did not know what kind of turmoil he had caused by summoning the supreme Great Vow of the future to bless the mere four walls of the city.
He only felt that after he chanted the "Future Star Constellation Kalpa Sutra," a firm, unwavering determination to save all suffering and bear all karma, as if indestructible, seemed to be faintly engraved on the city walls.
"Now, ordinary demon lords should be unable to break this city!"
Brother Qian Chen didn't know why, but clearly, he had only summoned a bit of his future determination, yet it was as if he had infinite confidence, believing that no one could break this wall.
He understood even less what kind of compassion and determination were contained in that Great Vow to lead all living beings to the Other Shore.
The heart is Thusness, Self-Nature, Dharma-Body, Reality, Buddha-Nature, Dharma-Nature, Tathagatagarbha, and Perfect Reality.
Therefore, once this heart falls, it is no longer different from all living beings; the hearts of all living beings should be the same as this heart, arriving at the Other Shore.
The five ring-scars on the top of his head suddenly felt as painful as if they were being burned by fire.
Brother Qian Chen looked up and saw that the karma entangled on the Buddha's causal Great Dao seemed to be falling toward him.
He hurriedly closed his eyes and raised his hands to block his face, but for a long time, he didn't feel that endless pain; it fell, and even the karma he had originally borne suddenly emptied, only feeling that the endless karma seemed to fall behind him, borne by something else.
In the land of reincarnation, the Twelfth-Rank Golden Lotus and the Bodhi Tree suddenly looked up toward the future.
"So, that endless karma, the original face of the reincarnation of all living beings, will all fall toward the Other Shore!"
"With the causal Great Dao as the beginning, ignorance as the origin, and the Other Shore Dao fruit as the end, he will bear it."
"The three Buddhas of the past, present, and future will support the Other Shore for all living beings..." the Bodhi Tree murmured: "Is this vow the first great vow of our Buddhist school?"
