Boundless Heavenly Capital:
There was a huge valley filled with fog. A large number of soldiers were standing guard in the surroundings. However, there was a large formation that completely covered the inside of the valley. Nothing could be seen clearly.
Gu Hai's group entered the ritual array.
"Your Majesty!"
There were already many guards and officials inside. At this moment, they bowed respectfully to Gu Hai.
However, Gu Hai did not have time to care, as this ritual array gave off a bright light. It seemed like billions of Buddhist lights poured out. Many golden lotuses appeared in the surrounding space. Buddhist chants rang out, and Buddhist lights shone everywhere.
Some of the guards even slowly pressed their palms together, seeming to feel great benevolence.
The moment Gu Hai entered, he immediately saw a bald, white-clad young monk walking out of a cave not far away. This was the little beggar of the past, Zhengfa Ming.
However, at this moment, Zhengfa Ming no longer looked like a beggar. He seemed to have transcended mortality. His body gave off a surging Buddhist light, and a sandalwood fragrance lingered in the surroundings.
Golden lotuses seemed to appear out of nowhere as Zhengfa Ming stepped forward.
"This is … this is?" Bodhisattva Lian Sheng exclaimed in shock, his eyes wide.
Zhengfa Ming looked around, seeming confused. Gradually, he saw Gu Hai. "Yes. Yes.
Zhengfa Ming pressed his palms together and bowed slightly.
With just this bow, Gu Hai immediately had an indescribable feeling. It was as though this bow had completely erased all his sins.
"The Buddhist light coming from Zhengfa Ming is very strange. It seems like it can purify one's soul with just one look!" the Unborn Man exclaimed in shock.
"This … this is not the Buddhist light but the Immeasurable Light? That's impossible. How can there be Immeasurable Light? That is just a legend! "Bodhisattva Lian Sheng exclaimed.
"Immeasurable Light? What do you mean? "Gu Hai asked, feeling confused.
"Legend has it that the ancestor of Buddhism, the Immeasurable Light Buddha, is also known as the Immeasurable Longevity Buddha. He enlightened the world and passed down the Buddhist Dao, becoming the ancestor of all Buddhas in the world. However, that is just a legend. My Nalanda Temple is also a legend.
"If they don't exist in this world, how can they pass down Buddhism?" Gu Hai was puzzled.
"It's true. My Nalanda Temple and the former Vajra Temple are both ancient temples. There are records of him appearing out of thin air, only an image, not a real person. He seemed to appear out of thin air and passed down the Buddhist Dao. Then, he disappeared, never to reappear for generations. Until now, all the Buddhist cultivators in the world have been chanting his name, hoping that he will reappear one day," Bodhisattva Lian Sheng said in shock.
"An illusory figure that appeared out of thin air and passed down the Way of Buddhism. All the Buddhists in the world recite his name?" Gu Hai asked in amazement.
"Amitayus Buddha! His Buddhist name is Amitayus Buddha!" Bodhisattva Lian Sheng exclaimed in shock.
"Amitayus Buddha?" The surrounding people looked at Bodhisattva Lian Sheng in surprise.
At this moment, Bodhisattva Lian Sheng also felt uncertain. The Amitayus Buddha, whom all the Buddhas in the world yearned for, suddenly appeared? In the Infinite Celestial Capital?
Bodhisattva Lian Sheng felt like he was dreaming. He wondered if all this was real.
"Mr. Goode, many thanks for imparting the Buddhist Dao to me!" Zhengfa Ming suddenly said.
"You are not a mute anymore? You can speak now? "Gu Hai asked in surprise.
"Yes. I received Mr. Goode's Buddhist Dao. During my closed-door cultivation, I opened my mouth acupoint and can speak now," Zhengfa Ming said Solemnly.
"You … are you the Amitayus Buddha?" Bodhisattva Lian Sheng asked anxiously.
Back then, Bodhisattva Lian Sheng felt that his Nalanda Temple was ancient. However, if the person before him was the Amitayus Buddha, his Nalanda Temple was nothing.
"I don't know. I only feel that countless Buddhist names woke me up from the boundless void." Zhengfa Ming shook his head.
"Countless Buddhist names? Is it the Amitayus Buddha? "Bodhisattva Lian Sheng asked anxiously.
"There are two!" Zhengfa Ming shook his head.
"Oh?"
"One is the Amitayus Buddha, and the other is the Amitabha Buddha!" Zhengfa Ming recalled.
"Amitabha Buddha? What's that? "Bodhisattva Lian Sheng asked, feeling confused.
"Amitabha Buddha?" Gu Hai gaped in shock.
That's not right. Amitabha Buddha? Isn't that the Buddhist name on Earth in the past?
"I should say that I reincarnated more than once. However, I could not comprehend it. Then, Mr. Goode's Great Compassion Mantra enlightened me greatly, "Zhengfa Ming said with a frown.
"Reincarnated more than once? Could it be the Dao Devouring Physique that appeared several times in history? "The Unborn Man's expression changed.
"It should be. After reincarnating several times, the body has a strong desire for the world's laws and can consume some of them. Unfortunately, one's lifespan is only one hundred years. After one hundred years, the body dies, and the world's laws return to the world," Zhengfa Ming explained.
"Then, what's going on? Why can you consume the world's laws? "Gu Hai asked, feeling confused.
"I'm not sure, either. Perhaps those world's laws are not my own in the end. I need my own laws, the laws that I created myself. However, your Great Compassion Mantra is extremely compatible with me," Zhengfa Ming explained.
"Your own laws?" Gu Hai felt slightly stunned.
"If you were the Amitabha Buddha, logically speaking, all the Buddhist doctrines in the world could be passed to you. You could take them all for yourself. Why is it only the Ancient Emperor's Great Compassion Mantra?" Bodhisattva Lian Sheng asked, feeling confused.
Zhengfa Ming shook his head, indicating that he did not know, either.
Gu Hai's expression changed slightly as though he thought of something.
"Everyone, withdraw!" Gu Hai ordered.
"Yes!" The soldiers of the Great Han Dynasty all retreated.
"Bodhisattva Lian Sheng, can I trouble you to withdraw as well?" Gu Hai looked at Bodhisattva Lian Sheng.
"Ancient Emperor, what are you doing?" Bodhisattva Lian Sheng asked, feeling confused.
"I would like to speak with Zhengfa Ming alone!" Gu Hai said.
"But …" Bodhisattva Lian Sheng felt somewhat reluctant.
"Bodhisattva Lian Sheng, please!" Guqin invited from the side.
Bodhisattva Lian Sheng's eyes flickered. In the end, he nodded and slowly withdrew from the ritual array with reluctance.
In the blink of an eye, only Gu Hai and Zhengfa Ming remained in the ritual array.
"Mr. Goode, you want to speak privately with me? Ha! Heh, I'm not sure about myself either. After this enlightenment, I've only recovered a few memories of my reincarnation. There's nothing else. However, if you still have that Buddhist Dharma of yours, it might be useful to me! "Zhengfa Ming said with a smile.
"No, I want to invite someone over. I just want to send them away!" Gu Hai shook his head.
"Oh?" Zhengfa Ming said, feeling confused.
However, he saw Gu Hai wave his hand, and the Soaring Palace Hall's Life Entrapment Saber immediately charged towards the valley Gu Hai was in.
Gu Hai extended his hand and activated it.
Rumble …!
A black hole suddenly appeared in the air. It was the passageway between the two Immortal Dominions.
"Let's invite Shakyamuni Buddha in!" Gu Hai called out to the black hole.
"Shakyamuni Buddha?" Zhengfa Ming felt slightly confused.
However, no one came out of the black hole.
Gu Hai frowned slightly and immediately understood. Those Immortal Immortals could come to Earth's Immortal World, but Laozi, Shakyamuni, and the other founders were not willing to leave the thirty Immortal Dominions. With them around, Earth's Immortal World could barely defend itself. Once they left and the thirty Immortal Dominions discovered it, they would launch a full-scale attack. Earth's Immortal World would be in danger. Hence, Shakyamuni Buddha was unwilling to come over.
However, Gu Hai still spoke again. "Shakyamuni Buddha, I am Gu Hai. I know that you are like Laozi, unwilling to leave the thirty Immortal Dominions. However, this matter is no small matter. I met a reincarnated eccentric here. Perhaps he has the Buddhist name of Amitabha!"
After Gu Hai spoke …
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, a Buddhist light came out of the black hole. The Buddhist light that surged out was somewhat similar to the light on Zhengfa Ming's body.
"Hm?" Zhengfa Ming showed a hint of confusion.
"Gu Hai, if you bully me, I will control the Buddhist veins and ignore you forever!" A dignified voice rang out.
Then, he saw a barefooted burly monk slowly walking out from the inside.
The monk slowly stepped out with a hint of confusion.
"Greetings, Shakyamuni Buddha!" Gu Hai bowed slightly.
It was Shakyamuni from Earth. Gu Hai had known him for a while on Earth.
Shakyamuni slowly stepped out of the black hole, but the moment he stepped out of the black hole, he ignored Gu Hai and looked at Zhengfa Ming.
Zhengfa Ming also looked at Shakyamuni and frowned slightly. "Why do I find you a little familiar?"
Shakyamuni was slightly startled, then a trace of joy appeared on his face. He reached out to grab Zhengfa Ming.
Zhengfa Ming wanted to escape, but Shakyamuni's hand was too fast. He grabbed his arm in an instant and a Buddhist light entered Zhengfa Ming's body.
Zhengfa Ming's body trembled. He felt extremely comfortable when the Buddhist light entered his body. Then, he looked at Shakyamuni in confusion.
"Is it Amitabha?" Gu Hai asked curiously.
Shakyamuni immediately let go of his hand and put his palms together. He bowed respectfully to Zhengfa Ming. "Shakyamuni, the reincarnated body, greets Master! Zhengfa Ming! Amitabha! "
"Master?" Gu Hai said in shock.
"I'm your master?" Zhengfa Ming asked in surprise.
"In my previous life, I was known as the Great Compassion Bodhisattva. In the Nirvana World, I was under the tutelage of my teacher, the Righteous Buddha Ming Tathagata. I was taught and enlightened by my teacher. Later, I was taught by Dipankara Tathagata and became a Buddha. After my teacher disappeared, the Ten Thousand Buddhas died out, and the Thirty Wanderers traveled the world. Almost all Buddhas were annihilated.
"Oh?" Zhengfa Ming looked confused.
"Master, you don't remember the cause?" Shakyamuni asked.
Zhengfa Ming shook his head. "I was enlightened a little by Mr. Goode's Great Compassion Mantra!"
"The Great Compassion Mantra was written by Guan Yin Bodhisattva. Guan Yin Bodhisattva was one of Master's reincarnations. The Great Compassion Mantra is naturally Master's own law of self. That's why you were enlightened. Master, although Nirvana was destroyed by the Thirty Sayings, Master's records are still there. Master, come back with me. I'll help you recover your memories!" Shakyamuni said excitedly.
"You have a lot of Buddhist teachings that I can use?" Zhengfa Ming asked in confusion.
"Yes. How about I pass on the Amitabha Sutra to Master?" Shakyamuni said happily.
While Zhengfa Ming was confused, Shakyamuni pointed at Zhengfa Ming's glabella.
"Buzz!"
Zhengfa Ming instantly closed his eyes. It was as if he was comprehending waves of mysterious laws.
As Zhengfa Ming comprehended, more and more lotuses appeared around him. There were golden lotuses, purple lotuses, white lotuses, and black lotuses. There was no end to them.
"I look forward to seeing Master open Nirvana!" Shakyamuni looked at Zhengfa Ming expectantly.
PS: Guanqi checked many Buddhist scriptures and summarized some of the Buddhist teachings. You can take a look.
Of course, there are too many Buddhist scriptures, and some of them contradict each other. I've only picked one that is beneficial to this book. Just take a look.
Some Buddhist scriptures say that Guan Yin Bodhisattva is an incarnation of Amitabha, and Guan Yin Bodhisattva was Tathagata in his previous life.
The Sutra of Grief recorded that Shakyamuni was Guan Yin Bodhisattva in his previous life. He was Amitabha under Tathagata.
Amitabha opened Nirvana. Shakyamuni cultivated there in his previous life and worshipped Amitabha. Later, after Amitabha was destroyed, he died. Then, Shakyamuni reincarnated into his current life and opened Saha World.
Amitabha was the boss of Nirvana, and Shakyamuni was the boss of Saha World.
As for 'Namu', it meant 'convert'. In layman's terms, Namo Amitabha meant, "Greetings, Boss Amitabha. I'll be your little brother from now on. You have to protect me."
