Taiping Inn

As the saying goes, fortune and misfortune go hand in hand, there are gains and losses. Li Xuandu has gained all the benefits of the Earth Master's ascension, and now he has begun to taste the bitter fruits of the old Heaven Master's ascension. When the Great Heaven Master was alive, neither Zhang Jingchen nor the Shingon Sect could stir up any waves. After all, the prestige of the Great Heaven Master for decades has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. But Li Xuandu is not the case. Even though his realm and cultivation are not much inferior to Zhang Jingxiu, his prestige is not built in a day.

After the monk with a male body and a female appearance appeared, a Vairocana Tathagata sat in a halo above his head. The Buddha's light shines on all directions, implying infinite light and infinite life. Then the Dharma image of the Vairocana Tathagata merged with him, the Buddha entered his body, and the Dharma image turned into a Dharma body.

This person raised his hand and formed a Vajra fist seal, and punched it flatly.

This punch contains infinite Buddha light, which is somewhat similar to the "Eternal Buddha Light" of the Cihang Sect.

Li Xuandu still casually greeted him with a palm.

This time, they were evenly matched, and Li Xuandu was not able to gain the upper hand.

From this point of view, the fourth monk had the highest cultivation among the four monks, second only to Fakong.

This is also the difference between the Western Regions Buddhism and the Central Plains Buddhism.

The Great Sun Tathagata is not the so-called "Buddha of the Sun", but the light of wisdom that shines on everything, implying the unique honor in heaven and earth, as high as the sun. The Central Plains Buddhism emphasizes the use of Buddhist teachings to control supernatural powers, so there are not many methods of extreme yang and extreme strength, and more of them are like the harmony of yin and yang in Taoism. However, the Western Regions Buddhism has always emphasized convenient methods such as the method of subduing demons and the method of initiation. To put it bluntly, it is to give up the difficult and take the easy, and emphasize the method of quick success. Instead of seeking the light of wisdom, it seeks to use the Dharma of the Great Sun Tathagata to interpret the power of the scorching sun, and condense the true fire of the sun to subdue demons and eliminate demons. However, in this way, Buddhism has fallen behind the Central Plains Buddhism, and it is difficult to enter the realm of longevity. However, this move also has its advantages, because it emphasizes supernatural powers and convenient methods, and has lower requirements for disciples. The Western Regions' methods will not fall into a situation of lack of successors, and the sect will continue without worries, and will not fall into the field of Jingchan Sect.

At this time, Li Xuandu was also surprised by the method of the Shingon Sect. At this time, it seemed as if a sun was summoned to the world. The raging sun's true fire was not much inferior to his Yin Fire.

Li Xuandu was slightly surprised. He did not expect that the foundation of the Shingon Sect was so profound. Except that there was no longevity master sitting in the seat, it was not inferior to the Qingwei Sect, Wudao Sect and other major sects.

However, compared with Li Xuandu's slight surprise, the monk with a male and female appearance was shocked. You know, although he looks young, he is already in his third life. This is the reincarnation method of the Western Regions Buddhism, which is a convenient method like the initiation method.

There is no such thing as earthly immortals in Buddhism. There is only the Arhat fruit position. There is no golden elixir path, but condensed relics. The difference between the two is that the golden elixir of Taoism is invisible and intangible, while the relics of Buddhism are tangible and substantial.

The so-called reincarnation method is actually not much different from the reincarnation of the ghost immortal path. However, the ghost immortals of Taoism have the mystery of being in the fetus. They are easy to lose themselves in the fetus and forget all the past. Moreover, they have to start from the beginning to cultivate their cultivation from the baby state to adulthood. You must know that any immortal earthly immortal cannot enter this realm without chance and adventure. If you start over, no one dares to guarantee that they can still enter the realm of immortality. Therefore, few ghost immortal masters are willing to start over. Most of them still do things like taking over the body. However, when ghost immortals take over the body, there will be problems that the body and soul cannot perfectly fit, which will lead to a regression in cultivation. However, the reincarnation and cultivation of the Buddhist sect in the Western Regions did not have such concerns. One reason was that the population in the Western Regions was sparse, unlike the dense population in the Central Plains, and the Shingon sect was the only one in power, so it was easier to find the reincarnated body. In addition, with the guidance of fellow disciples and various items left behind in the previous life, the mystery of the fetus could always be solved. As for the cultivation of supernatural powers, the key lies in the relics. The golden elixir in the Taoist sect is invisible and intangible. Once reincarnated, all the cultivation will be dispersed, but the Buddhist sect can leave a relic. When the relic is refined in the next life, half of the cultivation of the previous life can be inherited. In this way, the cultivation will continue to accumulate after continuous reincarnation.

This kind of cultivation method is obviously not something that can be mastered by the scattered people without relatives and support, and even those loosely structured sects cannot do it. Only a large sect with strict hierarchy can fully promote this method. Therefore, the development of the Shingon sect is also completely different from that of the Jingchan sect, and it has the atmosphere of a Buddhist country on earth.

Fakong's nine-life cultivation was obtained through continuous initiation, while this monk with a male and female appearance only had three-life cultivation, but it was obtained through his own three-life hard practice. In terms of the degree of compatibility with himself, the latter is undoubtedly better. Therefore, although this person's own realm is only the boundless realm of heaven and man, he can only enter the realm of heaven and man creation by relying on the huge incense and vows. But if he can really reincarnate for nine lifetimes, he may be a genuine golden body arhat. If he can control the incense and vows for his own use, he can even rival the Taoist one-calamity earth immortal.

This is undoubtedly a stupid way, but it is also more stable. As long as the sect's inheritance is orderly, there is always a chance to cultivate an immortal earth immortal. It doesn't depend on luck like other sects. When luck is good, there can be multiple immortal earth immortals in one sect, dominating the world, but when luck is bad, it is a luxury to have a master in the realm of heaven and man creation.

After the monk fought with Li Xuandu, he retreated and formed a formation with the other three monks, and then distanced himself from Li Xuandu. At the same time, the Buddha's light of the four monks also worked together, as if a golden ocean was undulating up and down, and then a red sun rose slowly, jumping out of the golden Buddha's light ocean, like the rising sun in the morning. It was parallel to the sun in the sky, forming a strange sight of two suns in the sky.

Buddhism is also known as Western religion, and has two major branches. The Central Plains Buddhism takes the Diamond Sutra as its fundamental scripture, which is also known as the Diamond Sutra. The Western Regions Buddhism takes the Great Vairocana Buddha Transformation Blessing Sutra as its fundamental scripture, also known as the Vairocana Buddha Sutra. The Great Vairocana is actually the Mahavairocana Tathagata mentioned by the Central Plains believers, and the Vairocana Buddha Sutra is the Mahavairocana Sutra.

At this time, the four people activated the fundamental method of Western Regions Buddhism together, and a shadow of the Mahavairocana Tathagata appeared in the red sun.

After the figure of the Mahavairocana Tathagata separated from the red sun, it began to grow larger and larger, as if it stood upright, filling the entire world. The backlit sun wheel behind his head also became indescribably huge, giving people the illusion that the sun fell to the earth, and a lot of sun fire was born on the sky.

Li Xuandu no longer held back and directly used the "heart demon is born by me" sword from the "Thirteen Swords of Taiyin".

"The Thirteen Swords of Taiyin" is a great method, and "The Heart Demon is Born by Me" is its essence, which is naturally extraordinary. Li Xuandu's black hair turned white, and then he spread his hands, and his ten fingers pierced into the void beside him. The two palms seemed to disappear out of thin air. When he retracted them, the ten fingertips drew out ten thin Yin Fire long swords from the void.

The second of the three tribulations of earthly immortals is Yin Fire, but Yin Fire also has strengths and weaknesses. Compared with the Yin Fire in the earthly immortal heavenly tribulation, the Yin Fire used by Li Xuandu at this time is undoubtedly a small witch compared to the Yin Fire in the earthly immortal heavenly tribulation. However, for those below the realm of immortality, it is still very powerful, and it will kill you if you touch it.

Li Xuandu's figure swept and quickly approached the shadow of the Great Sun Tathagata. At the same time, he displayed the "Sword Heart Taixuanyi". Ten Yin Fire long swords quickly extended to more than ten feet in length, swallowing and spitting, like bending and stretching, changing unpredictably. When encountering the Sun True Fire around the Great Sun Tathagata, it not only condensed but also split the Sun True Fire from it.

Li Xuandu continued to move forward and entered the "body" of the Great Sun Tathagata's phantom.

In Li Xuandu's sight, there was only endless red flames, up and down, left and right, only fiery red color, these flames were layered, not showing the slightest mess, as Li Xuandu continued to advance forward and penetrate, completely wrapped Li Xuandu in it, burning Li Xuandu from all directions, at this time, the "Yin Yang Fairy Clothes" worn by Li Xuandu produced an invisible barrier by itself, isolating these flames from the outside, and not hurting Li Xuandu at all. Such a number of flames, of course, cannot all be Sun True Fire, even if the celestial being descended to the world, there is no such cultivation, so these flames are just flames that are contaminated with some of the sun's breath, although the power is far greater than ordinary fire, but inferior to the real Sun True Fire.

From a distance, a black hole appeared at the heart of the shadow of the Great Sun Tathagata. That was the passage that Li Xuandu had forcibly opened up from the flames.

The faces of the four monks changed drastically.

Is this the method of the future leader of the Taoism? It is really extraordinary! If this person is given another sixty years, I am afraid that another one-calamity earth immortal will appear in the world.

However, the four of them calmed down quickly, their hearts were as calm as still water. After all, they had practiced hard for many years. Not to mention the state of mind of a saint, they would not be as surprised, happy or sad as ordinary people in the world.

Everyone in the world says that the Shingon Sect has four major factions, but in fact it is not. There should be five major factions, namely Nyingma, Kagyu, Sakya, Gelug, and Yungdrung. Because the clothes of the monks of the five factions are different in color, they are called Red Sect, White Sect, Flower Sect, Yellow Sect, and Black Sect by the colors of their clothes by the people in the Central Plains. Among them, the first four factions are the four factions known to the world, but the last one is extremely controversial and specious. It is related to Shamanism. Some people think it is not a Buddhist sect, while others think it belongs to the same branch of Buddhism. It has become extremely mysterious and rarely appears in front of the world.

Just as Li Xuandu was fighting with the four monks, a monk in black quietly appeared behind Qin Su who was guarding Fakong. This person held a long stick in the shape of a branch, blooming with colorful lotus. This is a fairy object of the Western Regions Buddhism, named "Seven Treasures Bodhi". It is made of Bodhi tree branches as the main material, supplemented by gold, silver, glass, glass, giant clam, red pearl, agate and other seven treasures, so it is called "Seven Treasures Bodhi", also known as "Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree Stick".
