Chapter 62 Running in both directions "Everything will stand if it is hesitated; if it is not hesitated, it will be ruined." No matter what you do, if you prepare in advance, you will succeed, otherwise you will fail. "He who plans for victory before the battle has made many calculations; he who plans for defeat before the battle has made few calculations. The one who plans for victory before the battle has made few calculations. How much better is it to plan for victory than for victory by planning for victory? How much better is it to plan for victory than for victory by planning for victory?" The reason why victory can be predicted before the battle begins is because of careful planning and sufficient conditions; Before the fight begins, it is estimated that the chances of winning are slim because there are few conditions for winning. Those who have sufficient conditions will win, while those who are not fully prepared will fail. What about those who have no conditions at all? The female teacher prepared for this battle for seven days in advance and conducted a very comprehensive and in-depth study of Padmasambhava. She made plans and laid traps based on these plans, and her victory was inevitable. Padmasambhava only knew that someone would come, but he didn't know who would come, when would they come, how would they come, how would they fight after they came, how would they attack, so it was no surprise that he lost. All three present understood this. Therefore, Padmasambhava, who turned into a donkey, was just stunned, but the female teacher who turned Padmasambhava into a donkey was not happy. Only the guide and spectator, the crazy Wutong demon, was laughing wildly at the fact that Padmasambhava had turned into a real bald donkey. “Hahahahaha…bald ass!”
The Wutong demon Taoist looked at the donkey Padmasambhava, which instinctively made a "ye-ang-ye-ang" sound, and laughed so hard that he fell forward and backward. His movements were so exaggerated that he almost laughed to tears. "Noisy!" The female teacher frowned slightly, turned slightly, and scolded coldly, "Shut up!" This time, the female teacher used the law to follow her words when reprimanding. Under the dim light, new rules are established. The Wutong demon quickly shut his mouth and stopped laughing. He clearly saw the anger in the female teacher's eyes, and knew clearly why the female teacher was angry, but he didn't want to get into trouble. It is joyful to eat melons, but it is not joyful at all to become the melon being eaten. Seeing that the demon Wutong was sensible, the female teacher did not hold on to him and try to teach him a lesson, but instead turned her attention back to Padmasambhava. The reason why Padmasambhava has turned into a donkey now is just because he was careless and stepped into a trap; it is not permanent. When the hazy glow of this rule fades away, the Law of Words will lose its support and will be able to transform back into a donkey and regain its freedom. In addition, after Padmasambhava turned into a donkey, he was not without ways to save himself. The cultivation is still there, the magic power is still there. By mobilizing magical power to impact the rules of transforming into a donkey, breaking the rules, and restoring human form. Barry is only half of 90. The female teacher didn't want to fail at the last moment after putting so much effort into accomplishing it. After reviewing the follow-up plan in her mind, the female teacher put her right hand into a sword shape and pointed at Padmasambhava through the air. One of Padmasambhava’s incarnations captured in the mural of the goddess scattering flowers at Wushan Temple, the lust demon Padmasambhava, suddenly appears. The lust demon Liansheng's appearance has changed drastically.
He grew his hair long, took off his monk's robe, and put on a Confucian robe with right lapel. His temperament is no longer full of Buddhist philosophy and lust, but rather scholarly, elegant, tranquil and indifferent. As soon as it appeared, the palm-sized lust demon Liansheng flew towards the center of the eyebrows of the bald monk Padmasambhava with a clear purpose. "Ok?" Wutong Yaodao, who didn't want to attract trouble and had kept his mouth tightly shut, saw this scene and his eyes instantly widened, almost popping out of his head. He looked very shocked. The Wutong demon couldn't help but be shocked. He was very familiar with the trick that the female teacher was using now. Back then, Wutong Evil God’s good brother was impressed by his move and was willing to sign a contract and be willing to die seventy-seven and forty-nine times for his good brother. I never thought that one day I would actually see other people using this trick. And he is a Confucian. And they went even further, even more excessively! This is really... so interesting. Hehehe... The Wutong demon Taoist grinned and laughed silently, then his eyes rolled and he thought of slipping away quietly. This ugly and difficult woman is a tough character. What if this woman gets carried away and, after dealing with Padmasambhava, wants to deal with him now? What should he do? If you fight back, there is no question of whether you can win or not. Does he dare to fight? Even though the Sword Immortal sold him out, it doesn't mean that the Sword Immortal didn't come. Maybe he's peeping in some corner. What if I fight back and anger the sword immortal, and then get killed by the sword? Wouldn't that be pathetic? In this case, why not use the Thirty-Six Strategies and run away as the best one? This is what Wutong Yaodao thought and did. I instantly applied oil on the soles of my feet and they were able to slide away smoothly. It's too late, but it's soon. When the Wutong demon was thinking of escaping and actually escaped, the palm-sized lust demon Liansheng had already arrived at the center of the bald monk Padmasambhava's eyebrows, bowed with both hands, and was about to drill into his sea of consciousness through the center of his eyebrows. Padmasambhava refused to surrender and struggled hard to resist. Although this incarnation is not his true body, or even the incarnation that truly contains the origin, even if it is lost, it will not hurt the foundation. However, this is at least an incarnation that is able to forcibly carry part of the power of self-awareness, awareness of others, and perfect awareness/Buddha's fruition. It is not easy to come by, so we must keep it if we can.
"it's useless." Seeing Padmasambhava begin to resist, the female teacher smiled coldly, "Why do you think I delayed for so long when I knew your real body would escape at the slightest sign of trouble? Of course, it was to make all preparations and completely capture you!" As she spoke, the female teacher pointed her right sword finger forward again. The palm-sized lust demon Liansheng was supported, and the force of drilling into the sea of consciousness of Liansheng the bald monk suddenly increased a lot. It seemed that Padmasambhava's struggle and resistance were in vain. Defeat is only a matter of time. The female teacher was confident of victory at this time, and said proudly like a villain: "The Buddha has three bodies: the Dharma body, the reward body, and the response body. The principles and laws gather together to form the Dharma body, the wisdom laws gather together to form the reward body, and the merit and virtue laws gather together to form the response body. Dharmakaya is also called self-nature body, reward body is also called enjoyment body, and response body is also called transformation body. Although you have been successful in your practice and have barely attained the state of self-awareness, awareness of others, and perfect awareness/Buddhahood, your mind is treacherous and you have been on the wrong path from the very beginning, which is not the right path. The sutra says: The karma you have created will not disappear, even after hundreds and thousands of kalpas, when the cause and conditions meet, you will still have to bear the consequences. Therefore, because the reward body is incomplete, one cannot attain Buddhahood and cannot establish a Buddha kingdom. In order to thoroughly realize self-awareness, awareness of others, perfect awareness and practice/supreme enlightenment/Buddhahood, you must perfect your retribution body, walk the world again, perform karma, and enjoy the results of karma. However, the Buddhist sect in China cannot tolerate you, so you cannot act openly. You have to hide and conceal your true identity. The Dharmakaya is the body of the self-nature and the source of life. How dare you, who is so afraid of death, appear before people with your Dharmakaya and seek your own death? Therefore, I have always transformed into thousands of incarnations, using various response bodies to perform the karma and calamities for your real body. The response body can transform into thousands of incarnations, and use these many clones to perform the karma and go through disasters for you. It is really safe to put the dolls in layers like this. but……" When he said this, the palm-sized lust demon Liansheng had already completely drilled into the sea of consciousness of the bald monk Padmasambhava and began the next stage: "occupying the magpie's nest." After turning into a bald donkey, Padmasambhava struggled even more violently, but his resistance was decreasing. The female teacher was even more proud of this, and acted more like a villain. She started talking more, and her tone became much higher: "But you underestimated everyone in the world! Do you really think that as long as you have enough clones and hide deep enough, the Celestial Empire won't be able to find you? That's wishful thinking! Let me tell you straight, I have learned a method called tracing the origin. I can use your clones to find your incarnation, and I can also use your incarnation to find your real body!" At this time, Padmasambhava suddenly gave up resisting and stopped struggling, and cried out a few times. The female teacher laughed after hearing this: "You said I was just a fourth-rank Confucian cultivator. How could I have the confidence to look for your true body? I'm afraid you would stare me to death with just one glance? I admit that you are right. But when did I say that I would go alone to look for your true body? The person who taught me the method of tracing the source was the one who went to look for your true body. You should think carefully about how to inform your true body that dares not show anyone, and run away quickly. Otherwise, if they find you, you will suffer the consequences." Perhaps he listened to the woman's teachings, or perhaps he did not want this incarnation to be corrupted by the obviously refined lust demon Liansheng, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in the eyes of the bald monk Liansheng. There was a loud bang. The bald donkey was instantly blown into pieces from the inside out. Blood was splashing, and fragments of flesh, bones, and internal organs were scattered all over the sky.
The lust demon Padmasambhava, who had entered Padmasambhava's sea of consciousness, could not escape this disaster and was also shattered to pieces. The female teacher seemed to be prepared and retreated at the moment Padmasambhava exploded. His body was spotlessly clean, without a single drop of dirt on it. Obviously, the woman teacher's research on Padmasambhava was extremely comprehensive, in-depth and thorough. You will know exactly what reaction Padmasambhava will elicit from whatever you do or say. She had known long ago that if she kept on talking like a villain, saying something about tracing the source and threatening the safety of his real body, Padmasambhava would explode without hesitation. Even though Padmasambhava vaguely knew that the female teacher had spent so much time and effort and said so many words, she might just want him to explode. What he wanted was for him to notify his response body and real body by self-destructing, so that his response body and real body, which were hidden well, would move. But this is an open conspiracy! The lust demon Padmasambhava that drilled into the sea of consciousness between the eyebrows is indeed corroding the incarnation. Try to trace the source and find the real incarnation of Padmasambhava that contains the original source. Moreover, according to Padmasambhava's perception, this method of tracing the origin has a high probability of being successful. If it is true as the woman's teacher said, the person who taught her the method of tracing the source will attack him. You are in danger! The real body is also in danger! Therefore, even if self-destruction of his incarnation was like drinking poison to quench thirst, Padmasambhava had to do it. After Padmasambhava's self-explosion, this secret place between reality and illusion was affected and showed signs of collapse. The gentleman does not stand under the wall. Even if the secret place really collapsed, it would not have any impact on her. Moreover, the purpose of this trip had been achieved, so the female teacher did not stay any longer. In a blink of an eye, the secret place was gone. As for the Wutong demon who escaped away secretly, let's wait and see. If he is well-behaved and sensible, then keep him. If you dare to cause trouble again, you will be wiped out. "It's horrible! It's really horrible!" The Wutong demon who escaped but not completely escaped has actually been paying attention to the development of the situation in the secret place. Seeing the scene where the female teacher made Padmasambhava explode with just words, he was almost scared to death. It's so scary. He decided to follow his heart and the teachings of Confucianism and stay away from this ugly woman who was insidious, cruel and scheming. You must know that even though he was turned into a donkey, Padmasambhava was still in the secret place he created. It was not easy for the female teacher to completely kill Padmasambhava in that secret place or take Padmasambhava away by force. It takes a lot of effort.
But she really did it that easy! In an instant, Wutong the demon thought of another terrible possibility. He took the initiative to sell out Wutong Evil God's good brother and Padmasambhava's incarnation in exchange for his life escaping from the Sword Immortal, but that happened seven days ago. With the scheming and means that this ugly woman had shown before, would she waste seven days in vain and then let go of the incarnation that truly contained the origin, only to be satisfied with letting this incarnation self-destruct? impossible! Absolutely impossible! Thinking of this, Wutong Yaodao felt a chill down his spine. Looking around in confusion, he felt that not only was it difficult to survive in the inner nine states of the Dayong Dynasty, but the outer eighteen states were also full of evil people who were willing to kill people without hesitation. A good man like him, who is afraid of hurting the lives of ants when sweeping the floor or is like a moth flying into a flame under a lamp, really can't survive any longer. He reviewed the various things he had encountered, heard, and experienced while wandering around the world, and found that he had only written two words densely: Run away! "what!" The Wutong demon shuddered and was filled with extreme fear. He did not dare to stay in the three southwestern states any longer, and even did not dare to stay in the territory of the Heavenly Dynasty. He turned and looked further southwest. That is outside the Celestial Empire. There are millions of mountains there. It is said to be a holy place for good people like him. There, there are great scholars chatting and laughing, and there are no unlearned people coming and going. There, you can preach freely and do whatever you want. The Wutong demon was suddenly moved. His eyes rolled, he clapped his hands, and laughed: "That's it!" Before he finished speaking, Wutong Yaodao reached into his bosom, pulled out a new sculpture of twisted tree roots, gave it a kiss, and said sincerely, "Good brother, don't say that I don't love you. I have found a good place for you, go there first, develop well, and recover as soon as possible. Good brother, you must remember that you have to die for me forty-three times to complete our contract!" As he said this, the Wutong Demon Taoist threw the sculpture of a group of twisted tree roots with all his might towards the Million Mountains further southwest of the three southwestern states. Faintly, like a meteor streaking across the sky and flying towards the millions of mountains at high speed, the statue of the Five-Way Evil God, seeking freedom, let out a roar: "You idiot, haven't you screwed me enough? Please be a human being!" Wutong Yaodao scratched his ears and muttered to himself, "Being a human? What's there to be a human being? I'm not happy at all." As he spoke, the Wutong demon Taoist fell from the sky and entered a forest. He threw himself flat on the ground, prostrating himself, and let out a "gu" cry. Brother Jianxian, I’m here to join you! A moment later, a toad happily jumped towards the county seat of Liuxian County in the night. Somehow, the toad had the feeling of a dog. Tao Tie's figure also quietly left Liuxian County in the night and came to the Baxian Mountain. Junkman, move out!
