"From the West, there are billions of lands of Buddhism. There is a world called Pure Land. There is a Buddha called Amitabha.
All living beings in this country do not suffer, but enjoy all kinds of happiness, hence the name Pure Land. In the land of Pure Land, there are eight rivers of virtue and seven treasures. The river of virtue dissolves all worries and gives birth to endless joy. In the seven treasures spring, there are countless treasures such as gold and silver, pearls, glass, and agate.
It is enveloped by seven-colored divine light, fragrant, and untainted by dust.
Amitabha has endless life and light, and its power can illuminate the nine heavens and ten earths. Those who wish to be reborn in Pure Land, those who are devout and wholeheartedly chant the name of Buddha can reach Pure Land … "
Gao Zhengyang's expression was calm as he sat cross-legged. His deep, magnetic voice echoed in the hall.
In the bright and beautiful hall, all kinds of delicacies were placed on the tables. Dozens of distinguished guests were dressed in luxurious clothes, and the Ninth Prince, Shi Zhongyue, was sitting in the main seat. Gao Zhengyang was sitting on his lower left.
The Emperor, Shi Potian, hated Buddhism, so most of the Buddhist temples in Tianyue City were abandoned and demolished. Over the years, Tianyue City had almost never seen monks.
Under normal circumstances, no one would listen to a monk's words. Moreover, the Ninth Prince, Shi Zhongyue, was sitting in the main seat.
However, as Gao Zhengyang's reputation spread, his wisdom was praised by countless people.
Everyone knew that Gao Zhengyang was preaching Buddhism, but no one interrupted him. After all, the Ninth Prince, Shi Zhongyue, didn't say anything.
Shi Zhongyue had thick eyebrows and tiger-like eyes, but his face was like jade. He wore a golden crown with two dragons on top of his hair, and he wore a purple robe. He sat behind the table with a calm expression. He had a scholarly aura, but he also had the noble aura of a member of the royal family.
Shi Zhongyue's expression was calm as he looked at Gao Zhengyang with a faint smile, as if he was very interested in what Gao Zhengyang was saying.
Liu Qingge, who was sitting next to Gao Zhengyang, looked calm, but there was a hint of worry in her eyes.
She didn't expect that Gao Zhengyang would do something like that in public. In the past two months, Gao Zhengyang had become famous throughout the world with his poems, causing everyone to overlook his identity as a monk.
The others also had strange expressions on their faces. Some were worried for Gao Zhengyang, while others were waiting to see Gao Zhengyang make a fool of himself.
After Gao Zhengyang finished speaking, the hall fell into a rare silence.
After a while, Shi Zhongyue said with a smile, "This King is somewhat curious. According to what Master said, as long as one chants the name of Amitabha, one can enter Paradise. Isn't that too simple?"
Tianyue City's Buddhist influence had declined, but as a prince, Shi Zhongyue had still read some Buddhist scriptures.
Shi Potian didn't like Buddhism, but that was his personal preference and a special position as an emperor.
As a prince, Shi Zhongyue knew how powerful Buddhism was, so he wouldn't underestimate it. Therefore, even though Gao Zhengyang had committed adultery in public, he did not fly into a rage.
It was undeniable that Buddhism had a great influence.
Gao Zhengyang nodded slightly, put his palms together, and explained, "Your Highness has asked a good question. Amitabha is one of the supreme Buddhas of Buddhism. He has a merciful heart and made a great wish to save all sentient beings. There are virtuous and foolish people, and Buddhism is profound and subtle, but fools can't understand it. Therefore, the Buddha passed down a convenient method. As long as one is devout, he can use this method to transcend the tribulation and be reborn in Paradise … "
Buddhism had been passed down for thousands of years, and Amitabha was one of the three Buddhas in the present world. However, Gao Zhengyang took the concept of Buddhism from his previous life and reinterpreted it.
In his previous life, Buddhism's Pure Land Sect unified Buddhism in a certain form with the four words "Amitabha".
The other Buddhist sects all believed in different Buddhas. But later on, if monks didn't chant Amitabha, it would seem to be a crooked path.
At the end of the day, it was because of one sentence: those who chanted "Amitabha" could be reborn in Paradise.
Chanting Amitabha was much easier than offering incense or worshipping Buddha. The low cost made Amitabha quickly become a unified Buddhist name.
Gao Zhengyang didn't believe in Buddhism, and he didn't believe in gods either. To a certain extent, he was an extremely realistic person who didn't believe in illusory things.
Even though he transmigrated and reincarnated, he still didn't think that there were gods controlling his fate.
The great and mysterious thing about fate was that it was unknown and uncontrollable.
If gods could control fate, they wouldn't be so bored as to control the fate of all beings. How troublesome would that be?
If they couldn't control fate, what was there to fear about gods?
Gao Zhengyang's public speech was just to pass down the Heart Buddha Sect.
He felt that the Heart Buddha Sect was on the verge of extinction because it was too cold and ungrounded. If there were only a few successors in each generation, the sect would be finished sooner or later.
Lowering the threshold, spreading the essence of the Heart Buddha Sect, gaining countless believers, and finally becoming a cultural mark of the human race, deeply engraving it on every human. That was success.
Buddhism guided people to do good, and their souls were satisfied. It was a positive path.
When Gao Zhengyang spread it, he didn't feel any burden. Human nature was very complicated, and there were needs on the spiritual level.
If you didn't occupy it, it would be occupied by something else.
Rather than being bewitched by evil, Gao Zhengyang felt that it was better for him to do it himself.
Moreover, he could get rid of some unsuitable things and make it more suitable for the needs of this world.
Those who could sit in this hall were all smart people. However, no one could see the meaning behind Gao Zhengyang's actions today. No one would have thought that today's actions would change the situation of the human race.
Many people were still laughing at Gao Zhengyang's childishness. They thought that he had already offended the Ninth Prince with his immature desires. Perhaps in a few days, this brilliant monk who swept across the universe like a comet would die silently.
Shi Zhongyue had an extraordinary temperament. No matter what he was thinking, he didn't show it on his face.
When the banquet ended, the guests left.
The Ninth Prince had a high status, so he only sent Gao Zhengyang and Liu Qingge off personally. The other guests were sent off by the butler.
When Shi Zhongyue returned to his study, a maid brought him fragrant tea.
"This Wukong is very interesting …" Shi Zhongyue took a sip of tea and shook his head with a smile.
On the other side of the desk, the Pure Sun Sect's Sect Master, Lu Jun, wore a green Daoist robe and held a horsetail whisk. He said respectfully, "Your Highness, I sent someone to investigate. This Wukong is a disciple of the Vajra Sect. He has been cultivating in the Bitter Wood Temple of the West Leaf River since he was young. "
"That's all …" Shi Zhongyue tapped on the desk with his fingers. The sound of the sandalwood desk was warm and gentle, and there was a strange rhythm to it.
After thinking for a while, Shi Zhongyue said, "Old Lu, do you think he's on the Sixth Prince's side?"
Lu Jun didn't show any anger when he was called Old Lu. The Ninth Prince calling him by that name was a sign of affection and respect. If he was younger, he would have to cooperate and smile.
However, at his age, Lu Jun couldn't act so shamelessly. Moreover, he was a Heaven Ranked expert. He relied on his ability to work for the Ninth Prince, not to be a jester.
"Liu Qingge is definitely on the Sixth Prince's side. I asked a few old friends to take a look. This woman has an indescribable demonic aura. She might be from the Demon Sect … "
Shi Zhongyue raised his eyebrows, "The Sixth Prince is really going all out. He even dares to seduce the Demon Sect."
Lu Jun said seriously, "There are many sects in the Demon Sect. Among them, there were a few sects that were very trustworthy and experienced. They have deep roots in both the human and barbarian races. Your Highness, don't underestimate them. "
Shi Zhongyue nodded, "I understand. The victor is king. Father only appreciates the strong. He doesn't care about the means. "
As long as one became the Emperor and inherited the country's divine weapon, no evil could invade. No one could threaten an Emperor. Therefore, before becoming the Emperor, no one would care about the means.
"Your Highness, people like Wukong can talk about the Wind Hanyue, but he doesn't have any power. The Vajra Sect won't give him much support."
Lu Jun thought for a while and analyzed, "From what he said today, it doesn't fit the Vajra Sect at all. If the elders of the Vajra Sect heard it, they would beat him to death on the spot. "
"Wukong doesn't have any power, but he has a reputation. This is influence." Shi Zhongyue said, "The human heart is very strange. Sometimes it's useless, but sometimes it's very important. Wukong is too smart. He knows how to control people's hearts. "
Lu Jun really didn't understand. He was a Heaven Rank swordsman after all. He valued the sword in his hand more. He was actually a little disdainful of these schemes and strategies.
Scheming and scheming ultimately came down to not having enough power.
If Shi Zhongyue was a Rank Nine expert, the Emperor would definitely choose him as the successor. It was useless no matter how outstanding the others were.
Shi Zhongyue understood Lu Jun's thoughts. But at this level, no one had the power to suppress the other. It was a battle of wits and schemes.
"This Wukong is very important. Keep an eye on him and don't let anything happen to him," Shi Zhongyue instructed.
Lu Jun agreed softly. However, he didn't care. Tianyue was already so big. Lu Jun was nothing. How could he be qualified to protect Wukong? He was just expressing his attitude. At least, he wouldn't attack Wukong.
Shi Zhongyue only had this request. Wukong had a great reputation and didn't have any conflicts of interest with others. No one would dare to harm him.
Moreover, Liu Qingge was by Wukong's side.
Shi Zhongyue suddenly laughed, "Liu Qingge is probably infatuated with the monk. Infatuated women are the easiest to deal with. Just for this, we have to protect Wukong. "
The same words were being repeated by Meimei.
"Miss, you're infatuated with that monk!" Meimei said worriedly.
"I'm infatuated with him." Liu Qingge looked at the dark night outside the window and said without a care.
"Miss, I think it's about time. It's time to make a move," Meimei advised with a serious expression.
Liu Qingge shook her head. The light in her eyes fluctuated. She said leisurely, "It's still far away. The most important thing about the Heartless Book is heartless. As long as you love deeply and understand love and feelings, then destroy it with your own hands, you will understand the true meaning of heartless. The deeper my love, the more sincere my feelings, the higher my achievements in the future. "
Meimei said with a bitter expression, "I'm just afraid that you will fall into a quagmire and drown yourself in it. Throughout the ages, many saintesses have cultivated the Heartless Book, but most of them have failed. Even if they could kill their true love, they would have become lunatics. "
"They are them, and I am me. How can we be mentioned in the same breath? " Liu Qingge said with incomparable confidence, "I've already planted the seed of love. I'm just waiting for that seed to blossom and bear fruit. That will be the day I master the Heartless Book. It's not a dream to step into the ninth rank. "
Meimei always felt that Liu Qingge was too confident. The reason why the Heartless Book was so tyrannical was because it was too difficult to cultivate. She didn't have that much confidence in Liu Qingge.
If something happened to Liu Qingge, she would be miserable.
Meimei couldn't help but say, "Miss, what if something happens to Wukong and he is killed by others?"
"There are always many accidents in the world. If that's the case, I can't do anything about it." Liu Qingge thought for a moment and said, "That can also cut off my seed of love. I can also cultivate the Heartless Book."
When Meimei heard this, her eyes immediately lit up. She thought, "That's much simpler. I'll just kill Wukong with one sword."
Liu Qingge sensed that Meimei's thoughts were not right. He stared at Meimei and sternly warned, "This matter is related to my foundation. You must not act recklessly. Otherwise … "
Liu Qingge's cold killing intent made Meimei's heart tighten. She quickly agreed.
At this time, in the dark night, a white shadow suddenly flashed in front of the window.
Liu Qingge was slightly startled. What a fast movement technique. She hesitated for a moment and gave up the idea of going out to take a look.
Tianyue City was full of experts. Since it had nothing to do with her, there was no need to meddle.
The white shadow that passed by Liu Qingge stopped after flying a few dozen feet away. It looked back at the iron dragon carriage that was far away.
Yue Qingyu's beautiful face showed a trace of doubt. The beautiful woman in the carriage that passed by seemed to be very powerful. Especially the aura on her body, it made Yue Qingyu somewhat disgusted.
However, that aura disappeared in a flash. When she looked back, there was no longer any feeling.
Yue Qingyu was also not interested in chasing. She continued to fly forward.
Tianyue City made her very annoyed. This place actually suppressed the power of Heaven Stage, making it impossible to fly. Even the Ice Soul Divine Lightsaber was suppressed. This was not good news.
Without the Ice Soul Divine Lightsaber, she felt a little guilty.
It was mainly because of the trial one year ago. Gao Zhengyang's bravery and tyrannical performance made Yue Qingyu lose confidence in her swordsmanship for the first time.
After a year, there was still a trace of shadow in her heart. She had an intuition that the inexplicable feeling just now, one was from her sister and the other should be from Gao Zhengyang.
She ran outside for so long just to find out who the other party was.
What made her depressed was that the other party's aura was about to disappear, but she still could not find it.
Yue Qingyu walked around Tianyue City for half the night. The new moon in the night sky had already set. The gloomy night was even more irritating.
"Where exactly is this place …" Yue Qingyu bit her finger and looked at the faintly discernible stars in the sky. She thought hard, "Which star is pointing to the north …"
Gao Zhengyang, who returned to Pegasus Temple, inexplicably felt his heart lighten. The aura that had been lingering around him had disappeared.
This aura came and went in an inexplicable manner.
"Wukong, come in."
The moment Gao Zhengyang entered the courtyard, Huiming's voice rang in his ears.
Gao Zhengyang brushed his dust-free monk robe and pushed the door open to enter the main room.
Huiming, who was sitting cross-legged, did not open his eyes to look at Gao Zhengyang. He opened his mouth and said, "Deviant path."
Huiming's tone was calm, but the meaning of this word was unusually harsh.
Deviant path was almost the same as betraying the sect.
Gao Zhengyang sat opposite Huiming and said leisurely, "I am the Sect Master of Heart Buddha Sect. What I said just now was also my interpretation of the sect's ancient book. What does master think is wrong? "
Gao Zhengyang put on a posture of debating and pointed out his identity as the Sect Master of Heart Buddha Sect. Huiming felt uncomfortable, but he could not use a lecturing tone to speak to Gao Zhengyang.
Strictly speaking, Gao Zhengyang's status as the Sect Master was one level higher than his.
Huiming slowly opened his eyes. "Chanting the name of Buddha can lead to paradise. Isn't that a joke!"
"How is it funny?"
"If it is so simple to go to paradise, why do we still chant sutras, worship Buddha, do good, and abide by the precepts? We just need to chant the name of Buddha!"
Huiming really could not understand what Gao Zhengyang was thinking.
Gao Zhengyang shook his head and said, "There are thousands of ways to climb a towering mountain. Master, step by step, you walk the right path. But other than that, there must be a shortcut to climb the mountain. You can't deny the shortcut just because it is the right path. "
Gao Zhengyang's explanation was very simple and clear. Huiming's cultivation was the right path, and he gave a shortcut. Both had advantages and disadvantages, but the effect was the same.
"Eager for quick success and instant benefits, he has entered the evil path." Huiming felt that Gao Zhengyang's talent was peerless. Seeing him not walk the right path, it really pained him.
Gao Zhengyang sighed softly. "People in the world are eager for quick success and instant benefits. This is something that cannot be changed. Therefore, we can only follow the times and guide people to do good. "
Huiming was also a wise person. He had lived for two hundred years, and naturally understood human nature.
Indeed, the right path was difficult. Not many people could persevere. Even among Buddhist disciples, how many of them sincerely wanted to ask for the Dao?
Gao Zhengyang continued. "The human heart is like a bowl, it must contain all kinds of distracting thoughts. If Buddhism does not use convenient methods to guide people's hearts, then people's hearts will be occupied by other methods. "
"The great tribulation of ten thousand years has arrived. People's hearts are in turmoil, and they need the Buddhist dharma to appease them, lest the devil sects, devils, and other true evil sects take advantage of the loophole. If this method is implemented, it will definitely make our Buddhism prosper! "
Gao Zhengyang said resolutely.
Huiming pondered for a long time, but actually had nothing to say. In the end, he could only look up to the sky and sigh.
He did not know where Jue Mie found this disciple from. His martial arts talent was peerless, and his fist technique was already superb at a young age. He was not inferior to him. In terms of Buddhist dharma comprehension, he was even more amazing.
Now, he could even see through the Buddhist dharma and the foundation of people's hearts. This kind of wisdom was simply terrifying.
Huiming felt a little confused. He waved his hand to indicate that Gao Zhengyang could leave. He still had to think about the pros and cons of this matter.
When Gao Zhengyang walked out of the door, Huiming suddenly said, "The devil sects have a secret method called the 'Heartless Heavenly Book'. It is said that this method is cultivated by the devil sects' saintess. The saintess entered the Dao with love, then killed her true love, and understood the Dao of Heartless. "
"Very interesting secret method …"
Gao Zhengyang turned his head and smiled at Huiming. "Don't worry, master. My life is precious. I can't bear to give it to someone to cultivate some Heartless Heavenly Book!"
Huiming did not say anything. He just motioned for Gao Zhengyang to close the door and not talk nonsense.
Gao Zhengyang returned to his room, sat on the bed, touched his face, and sighed. "I thought I was handsome enough. It turns out that I want to kill my husband to prove my Dao. Demoness, demoness … "
To tell the truth, Gao Zhengyang was quite complacent these days. Liu Qingge was obviously infatuated with him and could not control herself.
This kind of deep love feeling could not be faked.
Huiming's words made him realize that he was a little too inexperienced. "This world is so complicated. Alas, our family's Qingxue is still the best …"
If we don't use the convenient method to guide people's hearts, then people's hearts will be occupied by other methods. "
"The great calamity of ten thousand years has arrived. People's hearts are in turmoil, and they need the Buddhist dharma to appease them, lest the devil sects, demons, and other true evil sects take advantage of the loopholes. If this method is implemented, it will definitely make our Buddhist dharma prosper! "
Gao Zhengyang said resolutely.
Huiming pondered for a long time, but actually had nothing to say. In the end, he could only look up to the sky and let out a long sigh.
He did not know where Jue Mie found his disciple, but his martial arts talent was peerless. At the age of ten, his fist technique had reached perfection, and he was not inferior to him. In terms of Buddhist dharma comprehension, he was even more amazing.
Now, he could even see through the Buddhist dharma and the foundation of people's hearts. This kind of wisdom was simply terrifying.
Huiming felt a little confused, and waved his hand to indicate that Gao Zhengyang could leave. He still had to think about the pros and cons of this matter carefully.
When Gao Zhengyang walked out of the door, Huiming suddenly said, "The devil sects have a secret method called the 'Book of Passionless'. It is said that this method is practiced by the saintess of the devil sects. The saintess enters the Dao with love, and then kills her true love, understanding the way of passionless. "
"Very interesting secret method …"
Gao Zhengyang turned his head and smiled at Huiming. "Master, rest assured. My life is very precious. I can't bear to give it to others to practice some Book of Passionless!"
Huiming did not say anything, and only motioned for Gao Zhengyang to close the door and not talk nonsense.
Gao Zhengyang returned to his room, sat on the bed, touched his face, and sighed. "I thought I was handsome enough, but it turns out I want to kill my husband to prove my Dao. Demoness, demoness … "
To tell the truth, these days, Gao Zhengyang was quite pleased with himself. Liu Qingge was obviously infatuated with him, and could not control herself.
This kind of feeling of deep love could not be faked.
