Chapter 466: Medicine Buddha Seven Pagoda

Jinshan Temple is located on the east side of Zhenjiang. The whole building is built against the mountain, breaking the traditional layout of sitting north and facing south. The main gate opens to the west, facing the Zhenjiang River. The halls and halls in the temple are connected to each other, and the pavilions and towers are connected layer by layer. From a distance, the whole Jinshan seems to be a magnificent temple, reaching the wonderful realm where the mountain and the temple are integrated into one.

As soon as Shao Siming arrived at the mountain gate, Fahai, who was practicing in the Rizhao Rock in Chaoyang Cave, sensed it and took a step forward to greet him in front of the mountain gate.

"Namo Amitabha! I am Fahai, the poor monk, honored to meet Shao Siming."

Shao Siming returned the greeting and said, "Master Fahai is polite. Today I have some doubts in my mind and need answers urgently, so I disturbed you without a greeting card. I hope you can forgive me."

"Your Majesty is not a mortal. Your presence in Jinshan Temple has brought honor to the temple. How can you ask for forgiveness? Please come in and have a chat."

Fahai flicked his long sleeves and led the way.

Shao Siming followed the other party inside, and after passing the Hall of Heavenly Kings and the Main Hall, he could see the Medicine Buddha Pagoda standing on the top of the mountain.

The pagoda has only six floors, and the lowest floor is inscribed with "Shanzhu Baohai".

Shao Siming saw the name, thought for a moment, and asked, "Shanzhu Baohai? Is it referring to Shanzhu Baohai Pure Land, the place of the Tathagata of Dharma Ocean, Wisdom, and Divine Power? Is this pagoda dedicated to the Seven Medicine Buddhas?"

"The wise eyes of the God can see the mystery of this pagoda at a glance. This pagoda enshrines the Seven Medicine Buddhas."

Fahai's answer made Shao Siming nod.

"It is indeed the Medicine Master Buddha. Since the first floor is the Dharma Sea Victory Wisdom Playful Divine Power Tathagata, the five floors above it should be the Dharma Sea Thunder Sound Tathagata, the Precious Moon Wisdom and Light Sound Free King Tathagata, the Golden Light Wonderful Action Accomplishment Tathagata, the Worry-free Supreme Auspicious Tathagata and the Good Name Auspicious King Tathagata, and the pagoda itself corresponds to the Medicine Master Lapis Lazuli Light Tathagata. This pagoda is a complete set of visualization methods for the Medicine Master Buddhas, and it is also a Buddha statue enshrined in your Jinshan Temple. Am I right?"

Fahai clasped his hands together and praised repeatedly.

"Many outsiders have come here, some have not seen the mystery, some have recognized the seven Buddhas, some have seen the method of visualization, but no one has ever known that this pagoda itself is also a Buddha. The deity is indeed a celestial being. Everything you want to know is within the first floor of this pagoda."

As Fahai spoke, he raised his hand to signal Shao Siming that he could enter the tower to take a look.

As he walked into the first floor of the pagoda, Shao Siming heard prayers in his ears, and at the same time, a pure land of Buddhism slowly unfolded.

A Buddha shadow was sitting on a ninth-grade lotus throne in the center of the Pure Land. Upon seeing Shao Siming enter, he clasped his hands together and said, "Nanfahai Shenghui Yuyou Shentong Tathagata! I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Shao Siming looked at the Buddha in front of him and whispered, "Should I call you the Tathagata of Fahai Shenghui Yuyou Shentong, or the Tathagata of Medicine Master Liuliguang, or the Lord of the East?"

In the past, Chu Tai and Jiuliu Zhenjun had talked about Dong Wanggong when they were communicating. In Jiuliu Zhenjun's description, Dong Wanggong was a strange Taoist who was under a huge Fusang tree, wearing a Taoist robe, with golden flames of the sun burning all over his body, and his skin was blue-green glazed. The golden flames of the sun were dotted with medicinal herbs, and his feet were covered with glazed lotus flowers and auspicious grass.

At that time, Chu Tai already knew that the Medicine Buddha and the Eastern King were probably referring to the same person. Seeing the Tathagata of Fahai Shenghui Game Magical Power who was probably one and the same as the Medicine Buddha today, Shao Siming naturally didn't mind testing it out.

The Tathagata of the Great Wisdom of the Ocean of Wisdom was quite honest and said with a smile, "Although I don't know where you know these things, you obviously have a certain understanding of our relationship, which saves me a lot of time. As for your question, the King of the East is the Medicine Buddha, the Tathagata of the Great Wisdom of the Ocean of Wisdom, but the Tathagata of the Great Wisdom of the Ocean of Wisdom is not the Medicine Buddha, and the Medicine Buddha is not the King of the East. As for my name being the Tathagata of the Great Wisdom of the Ocean of Wisdom, I am not the Tathagata of the Great Wisdom of the Ocean of Wisdom."

The other party's words were confusing, but Shao Siming understood the meaning of them.

Fahai Shenghui Yuyou Shentong Tathagata is the fruit position differentiated from Medicine Buddha, and Medicine Buddha himself is the Buddhist fruit position differentiated from Dongwanggong.

The Buddha before us is an inheritor of the status of Tathagata of Dharma Ocean, and cannot represent Tathagata of Dharma Ocean himself. Similarly, Tathagata of Dharma Ocean cannot represent Tathagata of Medicine Buddha, and Tathagata of Medicine Buddha cannot represent King Dong.

Shao Siming asked again: "Is it because of Tathagata Buddha?"

Hearing this, the Tathagata of Fahai Shenghui was stunned for a moment, and whispered: "It seems that the donor understands my condition much better than I expected. I don't know how much you know, so I will tell you from the beginning."

"Back then, Dong Wang Gong entered Buddhism and transformed himself into Medicine Master Liuli Guang Tathagata. He opened up the Eastern Pure Land of Buddhism and made many great wishes to save countless sentient beings. During this period, he divided into six incarnations and was called the Seven Medicine Master Buddhas. However, apart from the Dharma image of Medicine Master Liuli Guang Tathagata, which he mastered himself, the remaining six Dharma images were mostly circulated within Buddhism. Because of this, I was fortunate enough to inherit the status of the Tathagata of Dharma Sea Shenghui Yuyou Shentong."

"Unfortunately, later on, the twelve ancestors of the human race, including the Dating clan and the Bohuang clan, attacked the Heavenly Palace, and the World Honored One helped, causing the Heavenly Emperor to fall asleep. After the gods fell silent, the order of the Three Realms collapsed. Facing the changes in the Heavenly Emperor, the World Honored One also changed, collected all the Buddhist fruit positions, and transformed into the Tathagata Buddha."

"This title is really ridiculous. Tathagata is the name of Buddha. The so-called Tathagata Buddha is the Buddha Buddha."

Fahai Shenghui, the magical power of the Tathagata, sneered and said, "Many scattered Buddhas like me were deprived of their Buddhahood in that catastrophe and became the incarnations of the Tathagata Buddha. I was able to escape the catastrophe because my Buddhahood came from the Medicine Buddha, and the essence of the Medicine Buddha is Dong Wang Gong."

"But the condition of Lord Dong Wang is not normal. Are you not affected?"

Shao Siming's question made the other party silent for a moment before he answered, "Of course I was affected, but before the problem occurred, I ran to the junction of two days and faced a True Lord named Yu Li. I was affected by the aftermath of his sword light and most of my essence was cut off. I was left with a little rationality. I came to this world with the aftermath of the sword light and settled down."

"Originally, it would take me hundreds of thousands of years to recover and gradually wake up, but I didn't expect that this world would continue to reincarnate. This change caused the Buddhist principles to converge instinctively. Except for most of it turning into the phantom of Guanyin, the remaining small part merged into my body, allowing me to gradually wake up. In comparison, Fahai Leiyin, who fell into this world with me, was more unlucky. He basically didn't have much sanity left. I can only look for the reincarnation disk and make it rotate."

"That person's reincarnation must be Zen Master Fahai."

Shao Siming's casual words made Fahai Shenghui Game Magical Power Tathagata put his hands together again: "That's right."

"Then why do you stay here?"

As Shao Siming spoke, he had already felt the subtle changes in the pure land around him. Wisps of Buddha's light surrounded Shao Siming, trying to influence him.
