God Emperor

Mount Maha is so high that it reaches the clouds and is so majestic.

There are many phoenixes, phoenixes, and redbirds in the mountains. They are all mythical beasts and birds. They soar and then turn into human forms. They stand on the lotus platform, wear monk robes, hold Buddhist beads, and have golden rings on their backs. They are all gods and Buddhas who are spiritual, wise, true, and kind.

The Maha Golden Platform is located on the top of the Mount Maha, standing above the clouds. It is golden in color and offers a magnificent view every step of the way.

Coral treasure tree, Linglong Pavilion, white jade pagoda and purple gold furnace.

The Buddhas in the Western Buddhist world obviously knew that Zhang Ruochen was coming and gathered at the Maha Golden Platform, wanting to see this rising star with their own eyes.

All the Buddhas were in a deep state of mind. They all had smiles on their faces. They were neither humble nor arrogant. Most of them looked at him with admiration. They regarded him as the descendant of the Seventh Patriarch and the mantle of the Sixth Patriarch.

Faintly, there is an atmosphere of ten thousand Buddhas worshiping the sect!

Entering the Jinggai Hall in the center of the Maha Golden Platform, there are few Buddhist practitioners. At least they are all top gods. Some ride elephants, some hold mirrors, and some have long eyebrows. All of them are very important.

The hall in front of you is so vast. Every pillar points directly to the sky, as if it is holding up the universe and touching the boundary of the starry sky.

Arriving at the palace gate, the meditation stopped and stopped moving forward.

Brahma, with a ninety-nine-foot golden body, sits at the top. His body is like a low mountain, with a white hair between his eyebrows. He is wearing a brocade cassock. He sits on a thirty-sixth lotus platform with seventy-two Buddha rings behind him. He is solemn and sacred. The power is handsome and the spirit is deep.

Zhang Ruochen naturally did not lose etiquette and bowed down to perform Buddhist rituals.

Brahma's voice was rich and resonant, like the sound of thunder from the sky, and said: "Di Chen is destined to be a Buddha. Since he has come to the Western Buddhist world, he is an honored guest, so there is no need to be polite."

"Cihang has been cultivating for ten thousand years and has entered the great freedom, which can be said to be a profound blessing. Now that he has returned to the Buddhist world in the West, he will one day realize the path of the Great Merciful and Compassionate Buddha."

After Zhang Ruochen and the others sat on the lotus platform, a Luan bird in human form presented them with three meals.

A pot of red wine, a bodhi fruit, and a bowl of rice from hundreds of families.

Seeing these three kinds of food and the order in which they were presented, Fairy Cihang instantly understood and then closed her eyes. The next step was to see what Zhang Ruochen would choose!

Sure enough, Brahma is a great wise man and had already expected this.

Zhang Ruochen lowered his head and looked at the three-cent meal in front of him, took the lead in picking up the Hongchen brew and filled the cup.

Raise a glass and savor.

He said: "What a pot of red dust. The four flavors of the human world, sour, sweet, bitter and spicy, make people mourn the misery of the past and remember the good times."

"This should be the Bodhi fruit grown on the oldest Bodhi tree in the Western Buddhist world, right? Legend has it that it has the magical effect of making all living beings awaken."

Zhang Ruochen ate the Bodhi Fruit in one mouthful, and his eyes finally fell on Baijia Rice.

A very ordinary clay bowl.

The rice in the bowl is also new, old, dry, rare, green, and yellow.

The so-called Baijiafan is the meal that comes for alms.

The so-called alms means forming a wide range of good karma.

A pot of Hongchen wine allows Zhang Ruochen to experience the ups and downs of the world and the inability to control himself. It also tells Zhang Ruochen about Brahma's own tormenting situation.

A bodhi fruit reminds Zhang Ruochen to wake up and understand.

The highlight is the last meal.

Eating hundreds of meals means forming a good relationship.

A hundred families are all one family, and you and I are all Buddhists.

Zhang Ruochen smiled and shook his head, but did not move his chopsticks after all.

Seeing this scene, Fairy Cihang and Chi Yao, who were sitting on his left and right, both sighed secretly. Chi Yao once practiced in the Western Buddhist world and has feelings and gratitude for this pure land world.

Zhang Ruochen said: "There is something unclear in my heart, and I have long wanted to ask Brahma for advice. I wonder if I can tell it?"

"Everyone, get out of here!"

As Brahma's voice sounded, all the Buddhas in the temple retreated.

He knew that Zhang Ruochen was going to have a showdown with him!

Zhang Ruochen said: "Do you still remember the Master of the Huangtian Hall of the Hell Realm Stone Temple, the Ancient Buddha of Yuanxu, and the Great Brahma?"

"The ancient Buddha of Yuanxu was a monk in the Western Buddhist world and a disciple of the Sixth Patriarch. How could I not remember?" Da Brahma said.

Zhang Ruochen said: "I wonder what Brahma would say about him?"

Brahma shook his head gently and said: "Buddha is also a human being. As long as he is a human being, he may go astray. The five aggregates are empty and the ten precepts are not accepted. I'm afraid only a Buddha can do it!"

Zhang Ruochen said: "So, Brahma knows what he did a hundred thousand years ago?"

Brahma made a silent acknowledgment.

Zhang Ruochen nodded secretly. He was worthy of being called a Buddha. He did not deny it against his will. This was already an incredible state of mind.

"Perhaps Yaoyao and Fairy Cihang don't know that one hundred thousand years ago, the world said that the Master of Huangtian Palace betrayed the Heavenly Court and colluded with Shi Zu to cut off the divine tree connecting the heaven and earth spiritual roots in the Kunlun Realm, causing the Kunlun Realm's divine energy to collapse. All defensive powers were greatly reduced, and the holy monk Xumi was left alone to block the thousands of gods in the hell world, and finally perished and disappeared. "

"But who would have known that the Master of Huangtian Palace was following the orders of his master, the Ancient Buddha of Yuanxu, and pretended to seek refuge with Shi Zu, and proposed a strategy to cut off the sacred tree that connects the heavens, thereby luring the gods from the hell realm into the Kunlun realm."

"The final result is that the gods of heaven invited by the Ancient Buddha of Yuanxu did not come to ambush. However, Shizu and the gods of hell knew in advance that this was a trap and did not fall into the trap."

"It's a pity that the sacred tree connecting to the sky voluntarily was killed by the wild sky. It's a pity that the holy monk Xumi disappeared and died. It's a pity that all the gods in the Kunlun world were lost. It took a hundred thousand years, a full hundred thousand years, for the Kunlun world to come out of the blood and tears. There is no The world is destroyed and the clan is destroyed.”

"Has Lord Brahma ever felt disappointed, regretful, or afraid?"

Zhang Ruochen had already stood up, with an elegant and straight figure and sharp eyes like swords.

Chi Yao directly summoned the blood-dropping sword, and the "卍" mark appeared behind him. The light and shadow of the golden white tiger was even bigger and more majestic than the divine elephant.

"I also have a story here. Di Chen, would you like to hear it?" Da Brahma was unusually calm.

Zhang Ruochen regained his calmness and demeanor and said, "I've wanted to hear it for a long time!"

Da Brahma said: "My qualifications are ordinary. I am not as profound as the Dharma of Yunqing Ancient Buddha, let alone the amazingness of the Sixth Patriarch. After cultivating in the Six Yuanshui, my life span has almost been exhausted, and I cannot reach infinity."

"That day, I entered the whirling world to make a last ditch effort, but ended in failure. After walking out of the whirling world, I stood by the Xiang Xiang Pond. The desire to survive and seek the truth in my heart was stronger than ever before. In the end, it was replaced by depression. Buddha My heart almost broke."

"It was the seventy-two-grade lotus that manifested the projection in the Xiang Xiang Pond, awakened me, and pulled me back from the edge of despair. After that, every once in a while, she would manifest the projection in the Xiang Xiang Pond and convey it to me. The Dharma points out the shortcomings in practice.”

"I myself never thought that the true meaning that could not be obtained through the six Yuanshui's hard training, seemed to be enlightened overnight, and the realm of cultivation soared into the sky, unstoppable."

"I am full of gratitude to her. She is both a teacher and a mountain, a mountain that I look up to and chase in my heart."

"After the death of the Sixth Patriarch, she no longer just appeared in the Xiang Xiang Pond as a projection, but also appeared in the Western Buddhist world in her true body. Including Yuanxu, there are several Buddhist cultivators who know her existence and have received her guidance. Her respect is equal to that of Buddha."

It was only at this moment that Zhang Ruochen asked: "So, were you just an insider or a participant in the fate of the Kunlun Realm and the Holy Monk Xumi a hundred thousand years ago?"

"He's an insider, maybe he can be considered a half participant!"

Brahma smiled bitterly to himself and said: "At first, I really thought that the Seventy-two Lotuses were to help the Kunlun Realm and to help the holy monk Xumi. Therefore, I came to the Kunlun Realm with a projection and planned with the gods of the Kunlun Realm. . Otherwise, with the ancient Buddha’s cultivation at Yuanxu, how could the gods of Kunlun Realm make such a big decision easily?”

"However, when I wanted to contact Tianzun and the gods in heaven, I was stopped by the Seventy-two-Rank Lotus. It was only then that I learned about the other identity of the Seventy-two-Rank Lotus, Kong Fanning."

Zhang Ruochen could tell that Da Brahma was not making up a story, and was indeed just a pawn of the Seventy-Two-Rank Lotus. Huangtian, on the other hand, is an even more insignificant chess piece.

Chi Yao said coldly: "Since you know it, why haven't you told it for so many years? Is this the heart of the Buddha and the way of the Buddha?"

Brahma was silent for a long time and said: "Perhaps this is the inner torture you have to endure when you have done something wrong, and the debt you must repay after receiving favors. Or maybe, there is God's will in the dark, and God's will arrange your arrival today. , to bring an end to everything in the past.”

Zhang Ruochen said: "I still have two questions. What is the relationship between Shang Tian and Hell Realm Shi Tian and the Seventy-two Grade Lotus?"

Brahma shook his head slightly.

Zhang Ruochen frowned. Da Brahma even admitted all the previous things and told them all. Obviously there was no need to hide this matter.

The ancient Buddha of Yuanxu has a close relationship with Shang Tian's son, Emperor Duotian. How could Shang Tian not know about it at all?

It couldn't be just Yao Shenzun who was planning behind the scenes, right?

As for Shi Tian, ​​how could he know about Kunlun Realm's plan if he had no contact with the Seventy-Two-Rank Lotus? How did you know in advance that the Anti-God Clan would be annihilated?

Brahma thought of something and said: "The Three Corpses Refining Way practiced by Shang Tian originated from the Three Bodies of Buddhism. However, after entering the Indestructible Infinite, a big problem arose in the practice."

Zhang Ruochen said: "But the consciousness of the three corpses is independent?"

"You actually know?" Da Brahma was slightly surprised.

Zhang Ruochen said: "I was aware of Shang Tian's demonic corpse last time I went to the Space Temple to save Lord Yao. The demonic nature of the demonic corpse is too strong, and its mind and spirit are too independent and cut off, and it is impossible to coexist with other consciousnesses. "

"The "Three Corpses Refining Way" seems very strong, but the three corpses are equally powerful, and each goes his own way. Once the level of cultivation is high, problems will definitely arise. How can the demon corpse and the divine corpse be willing to be controlled by the Yuan Zombie? ?”

Da Brahma said: "The Seventy-two Lotus Dharma is extraordinary and profound, and the research on the three bodies is almost unparalleled. If she has a way to unite Shang Tian's three corpses and solve the problems in cultivation, Shang Tian may not I won’t cooperate with her. At least, the demon corpse will definitely cooperate with her.”

"As for Shitian in the Hell Realm, perhaps Yu Jingzhen, the former master of the Space Temple, can be your breakthrough point."

"Can Brahma be more straightforward?" Zhang Ruochen asked.

Brahma read: "The stone on the north cliff of the weak water, Shi Tian is my body. When the weak water dries up, Shi Tian is born. Kill yourself in the ninth life and cut off the love of the nine lives."
