On the battlefield, Bhishma, the son of Ganges, looked at the arrows stuck all over his body and finally smiled. Ever since the five Pandu sons were treated unfairly by Xiangcheng, he didn't know how long it had been since he had laughed.
Trapped in the oath, until there is no suitable heir in Xiangcheng, he cannot even go to heaven if he wants to. Now, after he himself told Arjuna how to kill him, he could finally close his eyes.
Bhishma is like a hedgehog, a bit scary to look at, but his smile is very pure. As he lay dying, he spoke his last blessings to the armies on both sides.
"O sons of Pandu, I wish you to obtain gods, obtain the throne of Elephant City, and re-create the power of dharma in the world."
"O sons of Dhritarashtra, I also wish you that you will not regret your life experiences after death."
Hearing the blessings of their grandfather, son of Ganges, the five Pandu sons all put down their weapons, their faces full of sadness, but they were also happy that their grandfather was freed.
The old grandfather Bhishma had the ultimate strength in the world and used soldiers like a god. He had destroyed seven of their armies, but they were helpless.
They did not have the ability to kill Bhishma. Krishna, in anger, had already revealed the true form of Lord Vishnu and wanted to grant death to Bhishma.
But Arjuna hugged the angry Krishna. He did not want the gods and elders he respected to break the agreement he had made. The gods were not allowed to participate in this battle.
Jian Zhan discussed with Arjuna and decided to follow Krishna directly to Bhishma's military camp and ask how to kill him. They knew very well that their grandfather Bhishma was on their side, but they had to fight because of their oath. Moreover, after staying in the human world for nearly a hundred years, this son of Ganges had long wanted to return to the gods in the heavens.
When Jianzhan and Arjuna asked him, Bhishma, the son of Ganges, told the brothers how to grant death to themselves.
King Muzhu had a daughter named Shufa, who was the reincarnation of Amba, the princess of Kashi Kingdom, the aunt of Dhritahrita and Pandu. Before her reincarnation, she once swore in front of Lord Shiva that she would kill Bhishma. And Mahadeva promised her that as long as her actions were in line with dharma, Bhishma could die because of her.
Bhishma had also sworn not to attack this woman again. Therefore, Bhishma told Arjuna that as long as Shufa walked onto the battlefield, he could achieve his goal by hiding behind Shufa and shooting arrows.
However, Zhufa is a woman and according to the law, she is not allowed to go into battle. This is not difficult for Krishna and the five Pandavas. They used their methods to make the male bearded Yakshagana and the bun-haired male swap genders for one day.
Finally, Bhishma witnessed his death calmly and happily, and also left his last words.
Duryodhana, who was also blessed by Bhishma on his deathbed, stopped doing it. Why was the blessing given to the five Pandavas expecting them to win, while the blessing given to them was smiling fountains
Duryodhana cursed loudly, regardless of whether Bhishma was dying or not, he just kept cursing that he would suffer in hell after death and never be allowed to enter the kingdom of heaven.
Bhishma smiled when he heard Duryodhana's curse. It was already the last moment of his life and he didn't care about it. He looked in the direction of the Ganges River and slowly knelt down.
In his life, the person he felt most sorry for was his biological mother in the Ganges River.
He has never done anything for his mother, Ganga, the goddess of the Ganges River, but whenever he has a problem, he goes to his mother for answers.
The moment Bhishma knelt down, the Ganges River suddenly set off huge waves, and the river course hovered directly in the air. Then in the sky, a river water descended from the void, and under the earth, a river water also flew out, met in the human world, and appeared in front of all living beings.
Seeing this strange scene, all the creatures in the world were inexplicably excited. They knelt on the ground and prayed to the holy river. The holy river appeared on its own without them having to go there. This was something that had never happened before.
On the battlefield of the Battle of Kuru, soldiers from both sides put down their weapons at the same moment, knelt on the ground, and muttered words to the holy river on earth.
The expressions of the gods between heaven and earth are different. Some are extremely happy, some are extremely frightened, but most of them are envious and jealous. They knew very well that there was another person standing at the pinnacle of the gods between heaven and earth.
"Mom, congratulations, you have finally taken this step."
These were the last words Bhishma uttered before his death. After these words, he collapsed. This demigod hero, who had never been defeated in the world since learning how to descend the mountain from the axe-bearing Rama, finally ended his life in this unprecedented war in the world.
He witnessed the beginning of the war, but failed to see its end. But the result was within his expectation.
A soul rose from Bhishma's body and came into the air. At this time, the Ganges River in the sky had returned to where it should have been. Bishma's soul glanced at the battlefield with pitiful eyes, and then without looking back, he drifted towards Mount Sumeru.
In his previous life, he was a subordinate of Apini, the god of fire in Mount Sumeru. This soul's return to Mount Sumeru can be regarded as a return. Moreover, after the knowledge of Bhishma I, the power of this bright light god was far greater than before. After all, when he was in the human world, he had comprehended the Brahma magic weapon.
······
In the palace in the Ganges River, Ganga, the goddess of the Ganges, has successfully broken through and become the master, but there is no trace of happiness on her face, but she looks a little lonely.
Ever since her father Snow Mountain King died because he went to pursue the female mountain goddess in the divine realm on the other side of the snow mountain and was involved in a battle that the World Honored Vishnu called the chaos between gods and humans, she only had one close relative, her sister Snow Mountain Goddess.
Later, after her sister gave birth to two children, the Ganga goddess Ganga also came up with the idea of having children, so she agreed to incarnate and send down Bhishma and eight other brothers just to have children.
It's just that this kind of child is not her own after all. Ganga knows very well that after Bhishma ascended to heaven, although there was still a trace of love with her, his identity was already the bright light god of Mount Sumeru and he was no longer her son. .
Thinking of this, Goddess Ganga glanced at Ran Deng, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on her dignified and beautiful face, which seemed to be slightly crazy.
"What are you going to do?"
Ran Deng had just experienced the feeling brought to him by Joyful Yoga, especially the feeling that seemed to merge with heaven and earth when the other party broke through the dominance.
Probably Brahma and I are one, and it should be similar to this feeling.
Just as he was thinking about it, Ran Deng suddenly felt something was wrong. When he looked up, he found Goddess Ganga smiling strangely at him.
"If you don't do anything else, doesn't Venerable Ran Deng want to experience joyful yoga? Now that I have succeeded in breaking through, I can let you experience it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ganga rushed forward, leaning against Ran Deng in a perfect posture, and continued to start regardless of whether he agreed or not.
Ran Deng wants to practice joyful yoga, but what she wants is a son who truly belongs to her.
In the distant sky, Adros was talking about a secret of witchcraft with Karna in front of him. Suddenly, he paused, shook his head and smiled bitterly at Ganghe, and then continued to talk.
"So the key to the art of inviting gods is the emptiness and determination of the heart. If the heart is emptiness, it can accommodate all things in the world; if the heart is firm, it will not be obsessed by the world and all things."
The only person beside him at this time was the Garuda bird on his shoulder. The other three disciples were all busy. Zhengfaming was in the City of Elephants, teaching Dusaro, the cousin of Randen, and taking care of Kunti, the mother of the lamp; Manjusri was in the City of the Emperor, teaching Miaoxian, the cousin of the lamp; Maitreya went to Mount Sumeru, Discuss with Indra, the Emperor of Heaven, what Adros is about to do.
Speaking of which, Dusaro and Miaoxian were both going to be married. But before getting married, Dusaro suddenly swore an oath to guard her mother all her life and never marry. When Miaoxian's brother Krishna heard that Miaoxian's favorite object was Lantern, he couldn't help but Knowing the reason, he did not arrange a marriage between her and Arjuna, but chose another Yadu woman to marry Arjuna.
Even later, when Mañjuśrī went to teach the wonderful sages, Kṛṣṇa just let it go and turned a blind eye in order to hear the practice method of Ran Deng. However, he kept eavesdropping openly.
······
On the human battlefield, because of Bhishma's death, King Dhritarashtra sent the second commander, Drona, the common teacher of the five sons of Pandu and the hundred sons of Dhritarashtra to the army led by Duryodhana.
But Drona did not have the strength of Bhishma, so Duryodhana sent someone to invite his friend and loyal companion Karna as the deputy commander of the army.
As the deputy commander, Karna has been ordered by the commander Drona since he entered the battlefield. He also enjoys leisurely and drills his soldiers in the camp every day. At the same time, he continued to become familiar with the divine magic given to him by Adros. The outcome of the war was related to his reputation, but this magical technique was related to his life.
Drona had always disliked Duryodhana and Karna, but he had always admired Arjuna. But his son Ma Xi was loyal to Duryodhana. In the end, for the sake of his family, he could only fight for the Kulu clan.
On the thirteenth day of the war, Drona formed a formation and killed Arjuna's son Arjuna. On the fourteenth day, Arjuna, carrying the pain of losing his son, fought back fiercely against the Kuruks and quickly killed the troops that were difficult to support and surrender. Drona was disheartened by the war because his son Ma Yong died in the battle. Leng was killed by Meng Guang, the son of King Muzhu and the younger brother of Princess Black.
That is, when Drona was making his last stand on the battlefield, Ran Deng finally escaped from the devilish figure of Goddess Ganga.
When he escaped, Ran Deng looked pale. After all, he was facing a beautiful goddess who stood at the pinnacle of the gods. In order to satisfy her, he used all the postures and movements he knew.
When they saw Teacher Ran Deng coming out of the Ganges in a hurry with disheveled clothes and no time to put on shoes, these disciples all clasped their hands together, thankful that Teacher Ran Deng could come back alive.
They can even imagine how fierce the battle between Teacher Ran Deng and Goddess Ganges was, and even Ganges was beaten to the sky by them for a while.
"Thank you for your hard work, teacher."
"I've known for a long time that the teacher's strength is not inferior to that of the gods, but I didn't expect that the Holy River Goddess can't do anything to him."
······
Hearing the discussion of these disciples, Ran Deng couldn't help but twitch his mouth and decided not to pass on this joyful yoga to these blank disciples in front of him.
"Okay, let's go to the Kulu battlefield now. If we go late, we probably won't see the good show."
After Ran Deng finished speaking, he raised his foot and stepped over.
Suddenly, next to Ran Deng's right hand, a teenage boy discovered that the place where Ran Deng landed was a puddle of water. He thought that the teacher was walking barefoot, so the puddle would definitely dirty the teacher's feet. Without thinking, he threw himself on the ground, his hair scattered, and fell into the puddle, his head covered with mud.
"What's wrong with you, Shanhui?"
Ran Deng knew about this boy. He was a child of Vaishya origin. Both his parents were dead. After listening to Randeng's sermon by the Ganges River, he felt yearned for it, so he sold all his family property and bought five pieces from a Brahmin princess. A green lotus flower was presented to Ran Deng as a gift, and he claimed that he was homeless and wanted to practice with Ran Deng.
This was the first disciple to follow Ran Deng. Because he was so determined, Ran Deng couldn't refuse, so he let him follow him. From that time on, disciples began to follow him one after another.
Now that he saw the Shanhui boy doing such a thing, Ran Deng was moved, but suddenly, he thought of an allusion he had seen in his previous life, and looked at the child with bright eyes.
At the same time, Adros himself, who was focused on the battlefield, was suddenly startled and immediately used the Star Preaching Technique to deduce the past, present and future of the good boy.
It is easy to say that in this life, he is just an ordinary child. In the future, he will probably achieve some success in the practice of Samana. In his previous life, he spent some effort and was an immortal with some achievements in practice. He just died a little aggrieved. No wonder his name is The immortal who endures humiliation.
This humiliating sage was sitting under a tree and teaching Dharma. Suddenly, a rebellious and unprincipled King Kali passed by with his servants and maids. When the maids heard the yoga method taught by this sage, they ignored King Kali for the time being and ordered him to Evil arose from his heart, so he dismembered the immortal's limbs one by one.
When he finally deduced the boy's future, Adros couldn't deduce anything. Wherever the stars went, there was nothing.
At this time, Ran Deng still didn't know who this kind and wise boy was. He looked at this boy with a pious and serious face, bent down and helped him up. With a smile on his face, he took out an oil lamp and lit it weakly. Warmth, a little flame flew out, a little bit towards the eyebrows of the good and wise boy.
Once this point has passed, the righteous Dharma will be transmitted to the human world, and another line of humanity will emerge.
"Good man, you should become a Buddha in the next life."
