Chapter 307: The Stone Monkey is Born

Chapter 307: The Stone Monkey is Born
"Save yourself and become a Buddha!"

Compared to the Mahayana Buddhism that guides and saves all sentient beings, all saints are Buddhas.

Sakyamuni's Hinayana Buddhism is more inclined to cultivate oneself and save oneself to become a Buddha!

This is the difference between great love and self-love, between saving others and saving oneself.

It is hard to say which side is higher or lower.

but,

All living beings are selfish, and Sakyamuni's Hinayana Buddhism of saving oneself is obviously more popular among Buddhist monks.

after all,

There is no one who doesn’t want to become a Buddha or a patriarch.

Therefore, after some discussions on Buddhism, although there was no clear winner between Mahayana and Hinayana Buddhism, most Buddhist followers believed more in Hinayana Buddhism.

Especially those people like Cihang who rebelled from the Chan sect and those disciples from the Jie sect who were converted, were more in agreement with the Hinayana Buddhism which was more inclined towards the mysterious practice.

For this,

Randeng was also helpless.

In addition, since Sakyamuni was his disciple, Rāhāna did not take action against Sakyamuni in the end and acknowledged the other party's Hinayana Buddhism.

only,
Mount Sumeru is the birthplace of Mahayana Buddhism, and the Hinayana Buddhism of Sakyamuni cannot take root on Mount Sumeru.

then,

Sakyamuni led the followers of Hinayana Buddhism away from Mount Xumi and built another Buddhist holy place in the west:

Lingshan!

Daleiyin Temple.

Sakyamuni proclaimed himself the present Buddha, and his Dharma name is: Tathagata!

Since then,

Buddhism’s fortune was divided, but it did not decline.

This is also one of the reasons why Dipankara did not stop it. Whether it is Mahayana or Hinayana, they are all Buddhists.

Just like the Human Teaching, the Chan Teaching, and the Jie Teaching of the Xuanmen Sect.

Buddhism can also flourish.

There is no time limit for cultivation, and there is no year limit for the ancient times.

Another ten thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

The ancient world, the Dongsheng Continent, the Flower-Fruit Mountain in the Aolai Kingdom!

"boom--"

That day, there was a loud bang, and the nine-hole and eight-hole stone egg on the top of the Flower-Fruit Mountain exploded, and a stone monkey walked out of the smoke and dust of the stone egg.

"roar~"

The stone monkey roared towards the sky, and endless golden light emanated from his body, reaching up to the nine heavens and down to the underworld.

It alarmed all the powerful beings in the three realms of the prehistoric world.

They all displayed their great magical powers, and their eyes penetrated the void and looked towards the Dongsheng Shenzhou.

When they saw the golden, awe-inspiring stone monkey, a sense of divine inspiration rose from the hearts of the great powers.

A person of great luck.

As soon as this thought appeared, all the powerful people showed expressions of horror.

Because they understand very well what the birth of a person with great luck means——

The great catastrophe of heaven and earth!

"Is this the beginning of a new catastrophe?"

"There is no doubt about it. With such great luck, he must be the son of the great luck!"

“Alas~, I finally managed to escape the Conferred God Tribulation, but a new one is about to begin. The path of cultivation for my generation is too difficult!”

"I wonder which force this catastrophe will be in?"

"It should be the human race. The human race is the most powerful in the prehistoric world now!"

"It must be the human race. The Conferred God Tribulation caused great damage to even the great saint sects. Only the human race has benefited the most!"

"Not necessarily. Don't forget the West!"

"The West? Buddhism?"

"Yes, it is Buddhism! However, if it is really Buddhism, then it will be interesting. This stone monkey has extraordinary roots and his luck is far deeper than the sons of luck in previous generations. And it seems that his personality is also very unruly. It must be very difficult for Buddhism to recruit this son of luck to use it. Moreover, other forces will certainly not sit idly by..."

"There's a good show to watch!"

While many powerful people were discussing and speculating, Subhuti, who was attaining enlightenment in the Sanxing Cave in Fangcun Mountain, was calculating with his fingers.

Half a day later,
Subhuti then smiled and put away his fingers:
"Zunti once said that the next catastrophe would be the time when Buddhism would flourish. The calculation results just now also show that this son of great fortune has a very deep connection with Buddhism. It seems to be true. If so, I should take action!"

"It's just that the origin of this stone monkey is a bit strange. I can't figure it out, and the trajectory of its fate is also vague. I don't know whether it is good or bad!"

Subhuti shook his head, and his figure gradually faded and finally disappeared in the Sanxing Cave.

Lingshan, Daleiyin Temple.

When the stone monkey was born, Tathagata was explaining the Buddhist teachings to the Buddhist practitioners under his seat. The moment the stone monkey was born, his body suddenly shook violently.

He even stopped preaching unconsciously.

Guanyin and others below looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

at this time,

Tathagata was extremely shocked.

"When the son of destiny appears, Buddhism will flourish. Could this stone monkey be the son of destiny that Master Uncle mentioned, who is related to the future of Buddhism? If so, then Subhuti, who was transformed from one of the three corpses of Zhunti, will definitely take action. He will sacrifice Xuanmen and help Buddhism flourish. No, I must stop it."

Tathagata, that is, Duobao who transformed from a Hu into a Buddha, could no longer sit still.

If this son of great fortune is really accepted into Buddhism and becomes a disciple of Buddha, then the fortune of Xuanmen will surely flow into Buddhism in large quantities.

This is not what Duobao wants to see.

He transformed himself into Tathagata and had just split Buddhism, but his real plan had not yet been implemented.

If this son of destiny, the stone monkey, becomes a son of Buddha, his next plan will not work.

When,

His conversion to Buddhism was tantamount to sacrifice in vain.

but,

It is not easy to stop the stone monkey from becoming a Buddhist. He does not have the confidence to deal with Subhuti, after all, the other party is one of the three corpses of the saint.

His understanding of the laws is much deeper than his.

Furthermore,
He also could not do anything openly detrimental to Buddhism, and his identity as Duobao of Xuanmen Jiejiao could not be exposed.

otherwise,

All the plans will be wasted.

Thinking of this,
Duobao, also known as Tathagata, had a lot of thoughts in his mind as he thought about how to break the impasse.

Just as Tathagata was immersed in his thoughts, suddenly, a series of shouts came from below:

"Master? Master? Master?"

This sudden voice instantly brought Tathagata back to reality from his contemplation.

Looking down at a young monk with a rebellious face and smooth beard, Tathagata calmed himself and asked:
"What do you want to call me for?"

The young monk looked proud:

"Master, I find it hard to agree with the Buddhist teachings you just talked about!"

Hearing this, Tathagata frowned slightly, but he did not get angry immediately. Instead, he asked calmly:

"how you said that?"

“Master, your Hinayana Buddhism emphasizes the practice of the Great Way, which should be done for the purpose of strengthening oneself. I strongly agree with this.

But you said that our Buddha advocates compassion, abstaining from killing and releasing animals, so as to accumulate good karma and eventually achieve the supreme Bodhi fruit.

It is also said that all living beings in the world have Buddha nature, so we Buddhists should follow the "Three No Killings" -

First, you should not kill for your own benefit; second, you should not instigate others to commit murder; third, even if you see others killing lives, you should not feel happy or agree with them.

I beg to differ with this..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire main hall suddenly fell silent.

Guanyin and the Buddhist monks on both sides looked at each other with strange expressions.

Isn't this a bit too naive?
He actually dared to question and even refute the Buddha in front of so many people.

This is not just a question of whether or not one has good eyesight, it is simply a question of not knowing one's own limits! As for Tathagata, there was no anger on his face, he just looked expressionlessly at this disciple who dared to openly refute him.

The young monk was obviously unaware of the strange looks and atmosphere from the people around him, and continued to speak to himself:

".If what Master said is true, this Buddha is just a useless person who doesn't know how to compete with others, disciple."

however,
Before the young monk could finish, Tathagata suddenly had an idea and shouted angrily:
"evil creature!"

The sound was like the sound of Taoism, deafening, and the entire Mahavira Hall shook.

at the same time,

Tathagata drew upon the endless spiritual energy of heaven and earth to condense a huge Buddha's palm, which he slammed down heavily on the young monk.

"Jin Chan, you have been disrespectful to Buddhism by discussing the Dharma. I will punish you by letting you reincarnate for ten lifetimes. When you realize the true meaning of the Dharma, you will become a Buddha again!"

Jin Chanzi's face suddenly changed. He opened his mouth to say something, but Tathagata's palm had already fallen.

"Bang~"

With a loud bang, Jin Chanzi's body was blown into pieces before he could say anything, leaving only his dazed soul standing there.

Seeing this scene, Guanyin and others were suddenly frightened and their hair stood on end.

So cruel!

This was his direct disciple, but he took such heavy measures just because he made a rebuttal.

If it were them, wouldn’t they be scared to death?

Tathagata ignored the gazes of the crowd and injected one tenth of his own Buddhist luck directly into Jin Chanzi's soul. Then he waved his hand to put it away and flew out of the hall.

"Just concentrate on your meditation, I'm going to the underworld!"

Tathagata directly took Jin Chanzi's soul into the underworld.

Meng Po found the Naihe Bridge, talked with her and promised the witch clan all kinds of benefits, and then sent Jin Chanzi's soul into the human cycle of reincarnation.

"With this kind of luck in Buddhism, I can compete with that stone monkey for the position of Buddha's son."

Tathagata murmured to himself.

However, to be on the safe side, Tathagata went to heaven again and found Haotian, the Lord of Heaven.

"Why are fellow Taoists here?"

In the Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor met Tathagata with doubt.

Since the end of the Conferred God Ceremony, a large number of immortals and gods have appeared in the Heavenly Palace, filling the gap of the Heavenly Palace's emptiness and lack of manpower.

and,

Because their true spirits were controlled by the List of Gods, none of these immortals dared to disobey his orders.

This made Haotian very happy.

just,

This excitement did not last long, and Haotian fell into distress again because of something.

That means his practice has reached a bottleneck.

now,

Haotian has already killed all three corpses, and even with the help of the power of Heaven's merits, the three corpses have been reunited into one. He is only one step away from becoming a saint.

of course,

Haotian also knew that it was impossible for him to become a saint because he did not have the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

but,

However, Haotian wanted to break through his comprehension of the power of laws to 30%. By then, he would possess the combat power of a saint.

The reason why he was in a hurry to break through the Saint's combat power.

One is because of the pursuit of great practice, and the other is because of the incarnation of the Three Pure Ones.

During the Conferred God Calamity, although the Three Pure Ones also added their respective avatars to the Conferred God List, they were finally conferred the status of gods in heaven.

But that was the deification of the physical body.

They are too restricted, they only obey orders and not announcements, and Haotian has no control over them at all.

and,

These clones of the Three Pure Ones are also extremely powerful, and their comprehension of the laws exceeds 30%. Haotian is no match for them.

Until that moment,
Only then did Haotian realize that his previous approach was wrong.

He only wanted to rely on Daozu, and seek help and support from Daozu in everything, but ignored his own strength.

He is not strong, so even if Daozu supports him, he can do nothing if those who are stronger than him don't give him face.

Although he also knew that the saint's real body was trapped in Zixiao Palace and could not return to the prehistoric world in the short term.

but,

Although there are no saints in the prehistoric world today, there are many cultivators who have comprehended 30% of the laws and possess the combat power of saints.

For example, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race.

There are the avatars or three corpses left behind by the saints, as well as the short-lived Demon Ancestor Rāhu, and the ancient Lord of the Demon Court who is suspected to have been resurrected, Di Jun.

These are all confirmed to possess the fighting power of a saint.

Besides,

Zhen Yuanzi of Wuzhuang Temple, Minghe of the Blood Sea, Meng Po of the Underworld, and Zhulong of the Dragon Clan who suppressed the Eye of the Sea, all seemed to have broken through 30% of the laws.

Although it has not been confirmed, there is no smoke without fire.

Therefore,
Haotian, who has realized his true nature, is no longer as high-spirited as before.

“It’s better to rely on yourself than to rely on others!”

Therefore,
Haotian was a little impatient with Tathagata's arrival. He now only wanted to practice, gain enlightenment, and improve his cultivation.

and,

He is also preparing for this, and he only needs to make some arrangements before he can implement his own practice plan.

I don't have the time to summon anyone.

Tathagata also sensed Haotian's impatience, so he did not fight back:
"I am here for the great trend of heaven and earth. In the last calamity, the Taoist master once said that Buddhism would have a chance to flourish. Now, the son of destiny, the stone monkey, has come to the world, and the time has come, so I am here to ask the Jade Emperor for his help. After all, you, the Jade Emperor, are the master of the three realms and hold the power of the three realms. The prosperity of Buddhism also requires the help of the Jade Emperor."

As soon as this word comes out,
Haotian, who was a little impatient, straightened his back and his expression softened.

Looking at the fat and big-eared Tathagata, Haotian suddenly felt a lot more pleasing to the eye.

"If you had longer hair, you would be quite handsome!"

"cough cough"

Hearing Haotian's sudden words, Tathagata's mouth twitched, his face turned red, and he coughed repeatedly due to being choked.

Is this something a human being can say?
Asking a Buddha to have long hair is a murderous act.

If he didn't need a favor from others, he would have wanted to fight with Haotian.

Although he is in Buddhism but his heart is in Taoism, you, Haotian, cannot insult him like this!
"The Emperor agrees!"

Just when Tathagata was feeling a little unhappy, Haotian's voice suddenly rang out.

The Buddha Tathagata was stunned and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

This. You agree to it?

This time, Tathagata had already made sufficient mental preparations, anticipating that the other party would ask for a huge sum of money and make a huge profit from it.

however,
What he never expected was that the Jade Emperor agreed so readily without saying a word, and did not even put forward any conditions.

For a moment, Buddha Tathagata couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

Isn't this a bit too hasty? No consideration at all?

Before, he went to the underworld to find Meng Po and ask her to help Jin Chanzi reincarnate, but Meng Po blackmailed him severely!

Just as the Tathagata Buddha was secretly pondering in his heart, the Jade Emperor's voice came again:

"But, I have a condition!"

Hearing this, Tathagata Buddha's heart, which had been hanging in the air, instantly settled down a little.

That's right, how could the Jade Emperor agree so easily?

"I wonder what the conditions are?"

The Jade Emperor smiled slightly and said slowly: "You need to swear by the Heavenly Dao to help me perform a play."

"acting?"

The Buddha Tathagata looked puzzled:
