Maitreya suddenly took a step, as if stepping on a node of time intersection. The chanting sounds of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the Lingshan Mountain in the past came from the distant past. The boundless sacred power of the Buddhas arrived at the same time along with the chanting sounds. Here and now.
This extremely noble future Buddha in Buddhism has indeed shown that he is a head above all Buddhas in talent and talent. He has used Lingshan's favorable timing and location to travel through the past and future, summoning the sacred power of past Buddhas to counterbalance Daojun Qingshui. .
Lord Qingshui remained unmoved and never looked back. The powerful divine light of the Beidou God and the sacred power of the Buddhas fought to the death in the void of the hall, forming a momentary stalemate.
And the Great Light Fist was omnipresent, exploding in every inch of Qingshui Daojun's divine body. Every acupoint of Qingshui Daojun emits light, and his whole person seems to be dissolved by the light.
Her expression remains unchanged, and her beautiful and moving fairy posture moves at a speed that exceeds the light. If time is frozen, everything will stand still, and the heart lamp will be taken into her hands. Then a fierce light covered the entire Mahavira Hall, covering up everything in the hall, and the sound of the chanting of the Buddhas was completely eliminated.
When the light that covered everything disappeared, only Maitreya remained in the hall.
After a while, another Buddha appeared out of thin air. It was the Great Sun Tathagata and the Taoist Luya.
Maitreya said solemnly: "Let her get the heart lamp."
The Great Sun Tathagata sighed: "I almost left her behind."
Maitreya said: "Fortunately, she became Taoist late, otherwise even if Qingshui Daojun has not become a Taoist master, he is probably infinitely close to Hunyuan Wuji."
The Great Sun Tathagata said: "However, she received a big bright punch from me. Unless someone with Hunyuan Wuji level takes action, there is no way she can completely drive away my punch power. In this way, she will lose a powerful opponent."
Maitreya nodded, thinking that he had hurt Daojun Qingshui after all, so the result was not too bad. You must know that if Taojun Qingshui hadn't broken into Lingshan, the Great Sun Tathagata would never have had the chance to plot against a person of her level.
It's just that the Great Sun Tathagata plotted against Qingshui Daojun without telling him in advance, which made Maitreya feel a little grudge. However, after all, they were both ascetics. Before reaching the final step, they really couldn't fall out, otherwise they would take advantage of others.
Therefore, Maitreya put the matter down and did not dwell on it.
The Great Sun Tathagata had no intention of explaining, and said calmly: "She would rather get hurt to take away the heart lamp. It seems that she wants to collect all three lamps."
Maitreya smiled softly and said: "Then what we should worry about now is the Bajing Palace and Yuxu Palace. Let's just watch the show."
It turns out that there are three mysterious lamps between heaven and earth, one in Yuxu Palace, the second in Bajing Palace, and the third in Lingjiu Mountain.
Lingjiu Mountain is the dojo of the ancient Buddha Ran Deng, and the heart lamp is the lamp of Lingjiu Mountain. However, the light has been extinguished ten thousand years ago, and no one else can rekindle it. Therefore, although this lamp is extremely precious, it is useless for Maitreya to hold this lamp.
But if you collect the other two lamps, it is said that something incredible can happen. But if you think about the origins of the other two lamps, you know that it is almost impossible to collect the three lamps.
The Great Sun Tathagata nodded and said, "We don't have to cover up the loss of the heart lamp."
Maitreya smiled and said nothing.
… …
Shen Lian returned to Shendu City again. In just a few months, Shen Lian experienced many things. Whether it was White Lotus or Chao Xiaoyu, they were all unexpected people in his life.
He still remembered what White Lotus said before it disappeared, but he didn't plan to go back to Qingxia Temple now.
Chao Xiaoyu did not always stay with him, but left quietly one day. This strange woman who clearly placed her love on him was different from any beauty Shen Lian had ever seen. She was independent, yet brave and persistent. After just a short time together, Shen Lian left a deep impression on her. Before the passion reached its peak, she quietly moved away, grasping Shen Lian's psychology in a very measured way.
This subtlety finally made Shen Lian feel a little sad that he had forgotten each other in the world.
These days, He Xiang travels between Shendu and Jiuyi Mountain, and his escape becomes faster and faster. Under Shen Lian's guidance, Xunyou made rapid progress, and was only one layer away from breaking through the illusion.
But at this point, you can only rely on yourself, and others can only guide you.
Shen Lian is not in a hurry, he is leisurely and contented every day.
Even if people from the Three Palaces and Four Views secretly spy on him from time to time, Shen Lian doesn't care.
As time went by, these people peeked less and less.
Shen Lian's gesture also made other powerful people scratch their heads. They couldn't figure out why Shen Lian didn't find a place to hide, but showed up in a big way.
With Shen Lian attracting the divine attention of immortals and Buddhas, the Queen Mother handled human affairs more and more to her satisfaction. In just one month, no one in the court dared to resist her openly. The three palaces and four temples seemed to acquiesce. I will stop disturbing the Queen Mother's behavior.
The sky was bright and the moon was bright and the wind was clear. Shen Lian was walking on the edge of Hengtang near the palace. In front of him were ten miles of breeze, ten miles of lotus flowers, and the comfort of light clouds and breeze was very enjoyable.
"You can pick lotus in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are fields of lotus leaves. Fish play among the lotus leaves; fish play with the lotus leaves to the east, fish play with the lotus leaves to the west; fish play with the lotus leaves to the south, and fish play with the lotus leaves to the north." Shen Lian recited an ancient poem. , the leisurely and contented nature, echoes the simplicity of the poem.
"This is probably what is called poetic and picturesque." A very light and soft female voice sounded from among the lotus leaves.
She was a very beautiful woman, with both the elegance of an immortal and the solemnity of a Bodhisattva.
Shen Lian stared at the woman in front of him and said with a smile, "Bodhisattva, why are you here."
Women naturally view freedom, truly view freedom, not appearance. Shen Lian was shocked by her unpredictability, but also admired her harmony of Taoism and Buddhism.
There are not many people in the world who practice Buddhism and have achieved great achievements. However, Shen Lian only saw two people who were as harmonious and harmonious as the Bodhisattva in front of him.
One is himself, and the other is the Bodhisattva in front of him.
However, there are differences between the two. Shen Lian is a Buddha and is originally the Tao, while Bodhisattva is the Tao and is originally a Buddha.
The Bodhisattva looked at Shen Lian with clear eyes, smiled softly and said, "I will send someone to invite you. If you don't come, I will come to see you myself."
Shen Lian smiled and said, "If the Bodhisattva doesn't come, he will still look at me."
As soon as the sleeves of his robe moved, there was a clear light, and the two of them were immediately in a pavilion that looked like nature. The wind blew the lotus leaves next to them, and the bright moon could be vaguely seen in the water.
There are stone tables and stone benches in the pavilion. The two people are sitting opposite each other, with a pot of tea, the smoke rising slowly, and the moonlight shining brightly. Looking from the outside, the man and the woman look even more otherworldly.
The Bodhisattva took a sip of tea and said, "Good tea."
Shen Lian said: "What's so good about it."
The Bodhisattva said: "The good thing is that I don't know where the good thing is."
Shen Lian clapped his hands. Even though he knew that the Bodhisattva did not come with good intentions, he could not help but admire him. Green tea is a topic created by Shen Lian, which is the product of Shen Lian's void creation. It has the taste of tea, but does not have the essence of tea. It comes out of nothing and has no source. That's why Bodhisattvas say they don't know what's good about it. That's because they've revealed the method of deep refining.
The Bodhisattva said: "There is a scene in front of me. I cannot understand it. Can Mr. Shen Tianjun understand it?"
Seeing the scene in front of me, even ordinary people in the world can explain why the Bodhisattva cannot. Only Shen Lian knew what the Bodhisattva meant.
Shen Lian said softly: "Nengdao."
The Bodhisattva said: "Please also ask Shen Tianjun to explain."
Shen Lian said: "No need for pen and ink, just painting."
The Bodhisattva said softly: "Okay." A pen and paper appeared in her hand. It was ordinary paper, ordinary pen, and ordinary ink, but it was also a means of creation.
Shen Lian took the paper, pen and ink from the Bodhisattva and calmed down for about half a stick of incense before he started writing.
He sketched stroke by stroke with great rigor.
But as the line of the pen tip fell, there was an undetectable change. If you observe carefully, you will find that these changes are actually in sync with the scenery outside.
The paintings made by Shen Lian are not dead things, but living things.
In a short time, the painting was completed and lifelike. If we put aside the color of ink and wash, then the scenery in the painting is the scenery of the outside world.
No matter how slightly the external scenery changes, the scenery in the painting will always change simultaneously.
A dragonfly flew out of nowhere and stood on the pointed lotus leaf. Suddenly, a dragonfly also appeared in the ink painting.
Seeing this, the Bodhisattva fell silent.
Shen Lian's innate Yi Dao is completely reflected in a painting. He has already deduced the future of the scenery here, so the changes in the ink painting will be in sync with the scenery outside.
This clear grasp of the future gave the Bodhisattva an indescribable feeling. She seemed to see the sacred demise of all immortals and Buddhas, the end of the Dharma Ending Age, which was an inevitable trend.
The Bodhisattva said: "Shen Tianjun, do you know how many enemies you are facing now? In addition to Aloha, Yuxu Palace, Bajing Palace, Demon Master Palace and many eternal immortals and Buddhas are all hostile to you, and The most powerful one around you is Chao Xiaoyu."
Shen Lian chuckled and said: "If you can become a Taoist master, will the Bodhisattva choose to be the enemy of the gods and Buddhas?"
The Bodhisattva sighed and said, "I can."
People like them, don't they just want an opportunity? Even if the hope is slim, as long as there is an opportunity, you will not let it go. For this reason, she left Yuxu Palace and gave up the honor of being the successor of Yuanshi, but she never regretted it.
Shen Lian said: "In fact, whether it is detachment or becoming a Taoist master, it is just to make myself better. I will enjoy the process of becoming a Taoist master and accept all challenges, but that is not my purpose. Fish playing with lotus leaves "The lotus leaves are in the east, the lotus leaves are in the west, the lotus leaves are in the south, and the lotus leaves are in the north."
He stood up leisurely and did not look back at the Bodhisattva.
The taste of the same ancient poem when spoken now is different from just now.
That is the difference that arises in the heart of the Bodhisattva. As far as Shen Lian is concerned, he is the same from beginning to end.
The fish was playing in the water, but I never thought about its purpose.
Playing with lotus leaves in the water is already a wonderful thing, so why think about anything else.
After Shen Lian left, the pavilion disappeared, and a golden monkey appeared in front of the Bodhisattva. The Bodhisattva looked at the monkey and suddenly said: "Ten thousand years later, I understand why he is Shen Tianjun."
