Simultaneous travel: I am proving the great way in the heavens.

Chapter 530: The Four Saints Test the Zen Heart! True Wisdom!
Opening up a special space for a temple is not a difficult task for the monks of Buddhism and Taoism.

Even in the Tang Dynasty in the East, the City God of any city can rely on reality and open up a City God Palace space of his own.

The so-called Pansi Cave is such a cave-like space.

It is just an ordinary cave, opened up by cultivators after all. Although there is another world inside, the laws of nature are incomplete.

It will only become a shackle on the path of cultivation. Unless one is an existence that has attained the Great Dao, ordinary cultivators would rather stay on the earth.

Even Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of earthly immortals, whose Wuzhuang Temple is also located on Wanshou Mountain.

A ray of golden light broke through the sky and landed outside the Pansi Cave.

After just a moment, a spider spirit in orange clothes came out to greet them.

"Brother, why do you have the time to come to Pansi Cave instead of refining medicine and practicing Taoism in Huanghua Temple?" said the man in orange with a smile.

Since they entered Luofu's lineage and learned the magical method of the golden body taught by Luofu, especially the method of refining love threads, the seven sisters who have reborn as spider spirits in this life have made great progress in their cultivation.

This made the seven sisters become more cheerful.

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord said with some excitement on his face: "I came here today because I have a chance to tell you."

The moment he finished speaking, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord told the story of how he was valued by Bodhisattva Vimala and that he would soon follow the Bodhisattva to Ziyun Mountain to practice in Qianhua Cave.

After listening to the story of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, Orange couldn't help but feel happy for his brother's fate.

Although Vimala Bodhisattva is not well-known, he is also a bodhisattva in the Lingshan Mountain in the West. Especially Vimala Bodhisattva, even in the Lingshan Mountain in the West, he is a powerful person. Even nearly three hundred years ago, after the Ullambana Festival, no one knows what happened between this Vimala Bodhisattva and the Tathagata in the Lingshan Mountain in the West. Since then, this Bodhisattva never went to the Lingshan Mountain again.

Although he did not directly challenge the Buddha, the fact that he did not take the Buddha seriously and even ignored his teachings for three hundred years was enough to make people feel the peculiarity of this Bodhisattva.

Look at the Lingshan Mountain in the West Heaven. Whenever the Buddha is preaching, which Bodhisattva or Arhat dares to be absent?

Even if there is, it is an extremely special case.

"Congratulations, brother. Congratulations, brother." Orange Clothes looked happy for the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord. He changed the subject and said, "Brother, are you going to follow the Bodhisattva to practice and come to say goodbye to us sisters on purpose?"

The Hundred-Eyed Demon King shook his head and said, "I am following the Bodhisattva's order to invite Pansi Great Immortal to meet him at Huanghua Temple."

The title of Pansi Daxian really made Cheng Yi stunned for a moment. After coming to her senses, she seemed to understand something and said in a strange tone: "The Pansi Daxian that brother mentioned, could it be Luofu Shangzun?"

Feeling quite relieved, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord asked in return, "Is there a second Great Silk Immortal in your Pansi Cave?"

"Brother, please wait a moment. I will go and pass the message right away." After bowing, Orange-clothed woman went straight to Pansi Cave.

The name of Pansi Daxian, although it was spread gradually within a radius of a hundred miles, it even spread further and further.

But in fact, in the Panshi Cave, the seven spider spirits also fixed their name for Luofu as Shangzun.

Luofu is now only destined to become a true Buddha in the future, but as it is now, he can only be regarded as a reserve force in Buddhism at best.

In Pansi Cave, the seven sisters became disciples of Luofu, but Luofu did not accept them as his disciples.

As a result, they had no choice but to address Luofu as a respectable person.

In the Pansi Cave, the so-called Pansi Immortal is not a real name at all.

When I learned about the invitation from Bodhisattva Vimala from Chengyi.

Luo Fu understood that after he was personally received by the Buddha from the East, his position in the Buddhist system became special.

The Buddha now is still the World Honored One Tathagata.

It is impossible for Tathagata to condescend to meet Luofu in person like the Buddha from the East.

And Vimala Bodhisattva, who was clearly a Bodhisattva but whose existence was close yet distant from Mount Lingshan, became the channel of communication between Luofu and the Tathagata.

If the Tathagata really condescended to come and meet Luofu in person, it would be Luofu that would be truly embarrassed.

After all, Luofu had just joined the ranks of the future Buddha not long ago, but he was valued so much by the present Buddha.

Luofu was caught in the middle and his situation became awkward.

Bodhisattva Vimala may not have come to recruit Luofu, but he definitely came to express goodwill to Luofu.

Even if Luofu has now officially become the Buddha of Buddhism and has completed his transformation from a reserve to a regular Buddha, he will still only be Namo Future True Buddha.

The tit-for-tat confrontation between the two Buddhas now and in the future has nothing to do with a small pawn like Luofu.

Of course, the more important thing is that Luofu has a special background.

You know, he is a disciple of Subhuti, the incarnation of the saint, and was also introduced to the Buddhist sect in the West by the Goddess Pingxin of the Underworld.

From this point of view, Luofu’s real background is the two saints.

Whether it is the present Buddha or the future Buddha, no one will deliberately make things difficult for Luofu, because doing so will only make the internal contradictions of Buddhism public.

This is something that neither the Buddha from the East nor the Buddha Tathagata wants to see.

The Journey to the West, an opportunity for the rise of Buddhism, was like an opportunity for Buddhism to make the overall pie bigger.

Under such circumstances, internal conflicts are inevitable, but they must not affect the growth of Buddhism as a whole.

After the Buddha came from the East and personally met Luofu, the Tathagata actually had no choice.

In this case, Rulai can only go through the relatively special Bodhisattva Vimala in the current system of Lingshan. On the one hand, it is to express goodwill to Luofu, and on the other hand, it is also a warning to Luofu.

The situation of Luofu Buddha is really too special.

Since the Conferred Gods, saints have not set foot in the ancient times. Even Master Subhuti was an exception, but that was because of the opportunity of the rise of Buddhism.

"Your Majesty, since Bodhisattva Vimala has called you the Great Immortal Pansi through your brother, then you will definitely have a place in the Heavenly Palace in the future." The man in red said excitedly, as if he had thought of something.

It doesn't matter if the title is a little random when used for ordinary monks.

But this is not the case for true Taoism and Buddhism, or for beings within the heavenly system.

Theoretically, if Luofu became a Buddhist Buddha, he would definitely have a place in heaven.

Just like Guanyin Bodhisattva and Tathagata of the West, they also have official positions in the Heavenly Palace.

However, Luofu was only a reserve member of Buddhism before, and his Ruzhen Buddha had not yet been promoted to a regular member.

Now even the Bodhisattva Vimala called Luofu the Great Immortal of the Silkworm, so his position in the Heavenly Palace was set in stone. This was the reason why Hongyi was so excited.

In this world, although the Western Paradise and the Heavenly Palace seem to be two sets of teams, they are strangely integrated together.

The Buddha, Tathagata, is also a powerful figure in the Heavenly Palace, and is even one of the Five Elders of the Five Directions.

Even in the Western Paradise, Luofu was still just a Buddha who had not yet been ordained, but in the Heavenly Palace, he had already determined his own position in advance.

This means that the seven spider spirits only need to follow Luofu to successfully cleanse their identities and return to the ranks of fairies from being fairies.

Even now, because they have Luofu as their backer, when they are able to return to heaven, both their identity and status will avoid their original status which was almost like that of a maid, and they will be much stronger.

Luo Fu smiled, glanced at the seven spider spirits, and said, "Come with me to Huanghua Temple to meet the Bodhisattva in person."

"Obey the order." The seven spider spirits immediately showed an attitude of obedience.

They had taken refuge in Luofu before only because they had lost their identities as the Seven Fairies of Heaven. Their reincarnation in this life seemed to have contributed to the calamity of the Journey to the West, but they themselves would not gain much at all. Even if it was the merit of overcoming the calamity, the largest share would ultimately go to Heaven.

At best, they would be treated as having their sins atonement when they returned to heaven.

In this world, although the laws seem strict, in reality, the strong are still respected, and the rules are made by the strong.

Without talent, resources, qualifications, or even background, one can only be reduced to a mere servant in heaven.

Before this, the spider spirits or the seven fairies had never dreamed that Luofu, whom they had risked everything to follow, would be able to make a gorgeous transformation in his identity so quickly.

If Luofu had this identity and background, then even if he was one of the tribulations in the Journey to the West, he would eventually become a monster. No matter how strong he was, he would be beaten to death. Or he would become the private property of a powerful person and serve as a thug or watchdog.

Unless you have the strength to overturn the table, the real table is suppressed by a saint.

But now, Luofu is not only the future Ruzhen Buddha of Buddhism, but also the Pansi Immortal recognized in advance by Vimala Bodhisattva.

Now that Heaven, Lingshan, and the Underworld all have backgrounds, if Luofu becomes another tribulation in the Journey to the West, it would be like the Four Sages testing one's Zen mind.

Even if he did something a little too much, both the Heavenly Palace and Lingshan would take it for granted and laugh it off, and would even take the initiative to help Luofu achieve perfection.

This change of identity in such a short period of time really made the seven spider spirits overjoyed.

After coming out of the Spider Cave with the seven spider spirits, they immediately saw the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord who was waiting there respectfully.

"Little brother greets brother."

The moment Luo Fu opened his mouth, the Hundred Eyes Demon Lord was immediately startled. The Hundred Eyes Demon Lord quickly apologized, "I didn't know the Supreme Lord's whereabouts, and Wang Zi called me brother. I am guilty, I hope the Supreme Lord will forgive me."

At this moment, Luofu fully felt that the calamity of the Journey to the West was different from the calamities he had experienced before.

In the past, the disasters that one has faced were either due to one’s own cultivation or merits and luck.

Only in this Journey to the West, what I saw was actually the background.

Of course, the purpose of having a background and a pedigree is, to a certain extent, equivalent to the cultivation, merits, and luck in past disasters.

After all, both the Heaven and the Lingshan Mountain have treasures that can suppress their own luck. When one is incorporated into this organizational system and obtains a formal organization, that is, a fruit position, then the treasures of the Heaven and the Underworld can naturally provide protection for the cultivators.

No wonder, on the journey to the West, there are countless monsters who are eager to achieve enlightenment.

In fact, it's just different from the past.

"The Taoist priest once gave me guidance. Now I have the opportunity to follow the Bodhisattva, which can be regarded as the completion of the cause and effect between you and me." Luo Fu nodded slightly. In one sentence, he acknowledged the identity of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, and at the same time, it also made an end to the cause and effect between him and the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord.

The Hundred Eyes Demon Lord had noticed Luo Fu's mysterious background and chose to give him great benefits, and even taught him the Dharma. This was the cause between them.

But it was also because of Luofu that the Hundred-Eyed Demon King did not need to get involved in the calamity of the Journey to the West. He was protected by the Bodhisattva Vimala and achieved the right fruit, no matter how insignificant this fruit was. In the final analysis, this opportunity of his came because of Luofu, so the Hundred-Eyed Demon King must acknowledge this cause and effect.

Now that the cause and effect have been resolved, next time, there will naturally no longer be the so-called brotherhood between Luofu and the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord.

After all, from the very beginning, this so-called brotherhood was based on utilitarian purposes.

Everything that the Hundred-Eyed Demon King gave to Luofu was considered an investment, and because of Luofu, he received the protection of the Bodhisattva Vimala and attained enlightenment under the Bodhisattva Vimala. This was the return on his investment.

The cause and effect between the two parties was naturally resolved.

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord wished for this.

Although Luofu did give him the benefits that he had always dreamed of compared to other monsters.

But the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord also knew that the calamity of the Journey to the West was a test of life and death for the monsters in Xi Niu Hezhou.

To him, Luofu was undoubtedly an existence with unfathomable background. Even though his cultivation was not high now, who knew what kind of powerful being was involved behind the scenes?
Of course, this kind of thing should be avoided if possible. Indeed, the greater the risk, the greater the reward. If you are involved in the layout of a powerful person and are lucky enough to survive to the end, you may be able to receive great blessings.

But the greater possibility is that he will die prematurely.

From the moment he was recognized by Bodhisattva Vimala, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord became somewhat immune to the influence of calamity energy. He made decisions based on his true heart and naturally did not want to get involved in such a game between powerful beings.

For him, the real wisdom is to quit while you are ahead.

After bowing to Luofu, which was considered as his approval of Luofu's words, the Hundred Eyes Demon Lord respectfully began to take the initiative to lead Luofu all the way to the direction of Huanghua Temple.

Return to Huanghua Temple.

Be it the temple master, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, or the seven spider spirits and others, after arriving outside the quiet room, they all waited obediently at the door.

Only Luofu calmly opened the door and walked in.

As soon as he entered the door, Luo Fu saw a female Taoist nun sitting cross-legged on a cushion.

Yes.

Although Vimala Bodhisattva is a Bodhisattva, she is dressed like a Taoist nun.

Although he looked old, Luofu could feel the unfathomable vitality from this Bodhisattva.

"This little monk, Ruzhen, has seen the Bodhisattva."

"No need to be polite." Bodhisattva Vimala looked at Luofu and nodded, saying, "You will surely become a Buddha in the future. There is no need to be so polite. Please sit down!"

"Thank you very much, Bodhisattva, for giving me this seat."
