There was a flash of blood in the center of the platform, and waves of blood light gathered. An old monk in a navy blue robe appeared in the platform. The old monk had a kind face and a gentle temperament. Just one look at him gave people a very comfortable feeling, without any sense of oppression from a strong Jiang looked at the jade slip on the platform and took a glance at it. He instantly understood the situation of the Sweeping Monk. He was an Earth-level hero, and the strongest one at that, with the cultivation level of the early Golden Immortal. Perhaps because he comes from the ancient times in the world of martial arts, the Sweeping Monk's cultivation level is slightly stronger than that of historical figures of the same level, and he has already broken through to the Golden Immortal. This is good. Although the cultivation level of the Golden Immortal realm is not strong, it is not weak either. It is barely enough. Afterwards, Chu Jiang started recruiting his relatives and friends. As the recruitment started again and again, blood-red light flashed on the platform, and monks in robes appeared in the void. In the blink of an eye, thirteen monks appeared on the parade ground. As the last monk appeared, Chu Jiang immediately stopped recruiting. Chu Jiang looked at the last person summoned and a smile appeared on his face. Xuan Ci, the abbot of Shaolin Temple, had the cultivation level of Xuanxian realm and came with 100,000 Shaolin monks. Shaolin Temple is finally out. All the people in the territory governed by Huanxi Temple have already deeply identified with the Buddhist philosophy. It would be most appropriate to hand them over to the real Buddhism and let Shaolin Temple govern the former territory of Huanxi Temple. When Shaolin Buddhism spreads throughout the world, the fallacies of Huanxi Temple will naturally disappear!
Afterwards, Chu Jiang's gaze fell on the remaining twelve people, eleven of whom were Xuan-level heroes of Shaolin Temple. The two in front were disciples of the Sweeping Monk. One was Xiao Yuanshan, and the other was Murong Bo, the father of Murong Nan and Qiao Feng Bei. The remaining ten are all eminent monks of the Xuan level in Shaolin Temple, namely the nine eminent monks of the Xuan generation, namely Xuanbei, Xuanku, Xuannan, Xuandu, Xuanji, Xuanchan, Xuankui, Xuannian and Xuanjing. There is also Xuan Cheng, the former super genius of Shaolin Temple, an earth-level hero, and a golden immortal realm cultivator! Chu Jiang waved his hand and summoned all the people. He appointed the Sweeping Monk and Xuan Cheng as the first-rank priests of the Worship Hall, and the remaining monks as the second-rank priests of the Worship Hall. The Shaolin Academy was also established as the third academy in Daxia after the Jixia Academy and the Shushan Academy. After the enthronement was completed, Chu Jiang did not delay. After allocating ten Haori warships to the Shaolin Temple, he let the Shaolin Temple enter the twelve worlds conquered by Daxia to solve the problems left over by the Huanxi Temple. ······ Thousands of mountains and thousands of worlds! Qianshan World is the last Buddhist world conquered by Daxia, as opposed to Qianye World. Now, the Great Bodhisattva of Huanxi Temple is in charge of Qianye World, while Huo Qubing leads the army and is in charge of Qianshan World. The two sides confronted each other in the void. After the last battle, both sides tacitly accepted this as the border. Neither side had any plans to send people across the border, and they were at peace for the time being. In the center of the Qianshan World, there is a towering mountain range. Previously, this was the headquarters of the Huanxi Temple in the entire Qianshan World and the core of the entire Huanxi Temple. Since the coming of Daxia, the Huanxi Temple was completely razed to the ground, and the huge Huanxi Temple became a ruin. At the foot of the mountain, small villages are scattered across the plains, like stars. Suddenly, a room opened from the inside, and a middle-aged man walked out of the room. He closed his eyes and clasped his hands together as usual, bowed sincerely, and silently said in his heart: "Amitabha, may the Buddha bless me." After bowing three times in a row, the middle-aged man remembered that the Happy Temple had been destroyed. Ugh! The damn Great Xia Demon Sect slaughtered monks, destroyed Buddha statues, and made them lose the protection of the Buddha's light. The Buddha will definitely punish them. One day, the infinite Buddha's light will shine upon the world, protecting them from illness and disaster, and allowing them to ascend to paradise forever! The middle-aged man cursed Daxia fiercely in his heart and was about to get up to go to farm. However, the moment he looked up, he froze in place. Looking at the mountains in the distance, the middle-aged man's face was full of disbelief. This is, a temple! Buddha is back! The middle-aged man's face instantly showed great joy, and he hurried back to the house, saying excitedly: "Come quickly, come quickly, the Buddha is back." For a moment, the other people in the room also walked out of the room in disbelief, and saw that the Buddhist temple that had been broken before was standing intact on the top of the mountain. Although there was no Buddha's light that illuminated the sky in the past, the Buddhist temple was indeed complete. The movement of the middle-aged man's family alarmed other people in the village. One by one, the villagers appeared, looked at the Buddhist temple that appeared again in the distance, and respectfully clasped their hands together and saluted, saying: "Amitabha, may the Buddha bless you!"
For a moment, the chanting sounds became one and vaguely, golden spots of light surged towards the top of the mountain, circled around the temple, and then merged into the void and went to an unknown place. when! At this moment, a melodious Buddhist bell rang through the void. The moment the bell rang, everyone's mind instantly became clear, and they felt clearer than ever before. "Buddha bell, it's the sound of the bell!" “The Buddha is back!” "..." For a moment, the villagers spoke excitedly and the scene was full of joy. "Let's go and burn incense in front of the Buddha!" "Okay, let's go together!" "It's been a long time since I went to burn incense to the Buddha." Nearly a thousand villagers flocked towards the hall on the top of the mountain. The same scene happened in the villages below. Almost all the villagers who saw the Buddhist temple were like this, and they were all excited. The familiar life is back. On weekdays, all I need to do is to worship the Buddha day and night, and one day, I will enjoy bliss! Tens of millions of people living around the mountain range headed towards the temple on the top of the mountain at the same time. All the common people visible around were among them, without exception. They were much more enthusiastic than when Daxia summoned the people. After approaching the mountains, the huge population of tens of millions consciously divided into tens of thousands of queues and walked towards the palaces scattered among the mountains. In the past, worshiping the Buddha was something that every citizen in Qianshanjie had to do. The first thing they did every morning after getting up was to worship the Buddha. As this was the main temple of Huanxi Temple, the temple on the top of the mountain was certainly not enough for worship. Therefore, in order to facilitate believers to worship, there are nearly 10,000 small temples on the mountainside, scattered among the shining stars, for people to worship. As for the Joy Hall in the temple, it is the place where monks worship, and only highly accomplished monks are qualified to worship there. When the common people came to the Buddhist temple that they had visited tens of thousands of times, they were stunned for a moment. They saw that the Joyful Hall, which originally enshrined the Joyful Buddha, had somehow become the Main Hall, where an unknown Buddha was enshrined. What kind of Buddha is this? I've never heard of the Main Hall. Aren't there only the Hall of Joy and the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas? What kind of hall is this Main Hall? The people were all confused, but as they stood at the entrance of the hall, they felt a sense of tranquility and peace unconsciously in their hearts. They felt relaxed from the inside out. For a moment, all the past events flashed through their minds one by one, and they felt a sense of enlightenment. Of course, this is just an illusion. Enlightenment can never be achieved by relying on external forces. Nowadays, everyone just has this feeling in their hearts. After a while, everyone came back to their senses and looked at the main hall in front of them in surprise. What kind of Buddha is this? Why does it feel much more powerful than the Happy Buddha? The feeling of spiritual comfort and enlightenment is many times stronger than the satisfaction they get from visiting the Happy Buddha on weekdays. They even feel that the ancestor of ten thousand Buddhas enshrined in the Ten Thousand Buddha Hall is not as good as him. What kind of Buddha is this? Everyone was very eager to know the origin of the Great Hall before them. "Amitabha, good, good!" Suddenly, a Buddhist chant was heard, instantly attracting everyone's attention. Turning around, they saw a young monk in a navy blue robe coming to the side of the Buddhist temple. "Amitabha, nice to meet you, Master!" Although the style of the robe the monk wore was a bit strange and the color was wrong, everyone could tell that it was also a monk's robe.
He is wearing a monk's robe, so he must be a monk without a doubt, so there is nothing wrong with him bowing. However, what no one expected was that the monk in front of them actually returned the greeting. "I am honored to meet you, my benefactors!" For a moment, everyone was a little at a loss. In their impression, monks were all people chosen by the Buddha, dedicated to serving the Buddha. They had a much higher status than them. Just a nod from them on weekdays would make them happy for a long time, not to mention a return gift. "Master, are you okay?" An old man in his seventies asked stutteringly, fearing to offend the monk in front of him. “Thank you for your concern, old man. I am fine.” The Shaolin monk bowed again. The old man's face changed for a moment, not knowing what to do. After a long while, he finally spoke: "Hey, you are a monk, why are you bowing to me, a believer?" The Shaolin monk bowed slightly to the golden statue of Tathagata Buddha and said: "The Buddha said: All beings are equal!" "In the eyes of Buddha, donors and monks are all just ordinary people. How can there be any distinction between high and low?" "this?" Everyone present was stunned. All beings are equal? There is actually a Buddha who said that all beings are equal? The faces of the people were filled with surprise, and they looked at the Buddha statue in front of them at a loss. Their usual cognition was broken, which made everyone feel uncomfortable, but deep down in their hearts, they felt that such a statement seemed to make sense. "Which Buddha said this?" The old man who spoke earlier couldn't help but ask. The Shaolin monk showed respect on his face, "Buddha Tathagata!" Everyone silently recited this name in their hearts. Just by hearing the name, they felt that they saw an infinitely majestic and compassionate being. "What you just worshipped is the Tathagata Buddha!" Everyone nodded in trance. It turned out that this was the Buddha Tathagata. No wonder they had such a profound understanding after worshipping him. World Honored One, Tathagata, Buddha, Great Hall! These three names are deeply engraved in the hearts of believers. "Master, can you tell us what Tathagata Buddha is?" “We have never heard of Tathagata Buddha. We only know of the Ancestor of All Buddhas and the Happy Buddha.” The old man who had come forward to talk before spoke again. “Of course!” The Shaolin monk nodded happily. "Please sit down and let me explain everything to you donors." After hearing this, the people gathered in front of the Great Hall immediately imitated the Shaolin monks and sat cross-legged on the ground. "In my Buddhist sect, there are three Buddhas, horizontal, vertical, and lateral. The horizontal one is space, and the vertical one is time!" "The three Buddhas of the past, present and future are the Eastern Buddha, the Central Buddha and the Western Buddha. They are Medicine Buddha Tathagata, who is in charge of the Eastern Lapis Lazuli World; Amitabha Buddha in the West, who is in charge of the Western Paradise; and Tathagata Buddha in the Center, who is in charge of the Central Vaiśa World!"
"The Three Buddhas of the Past, Present and Future are the Buddhas of the Past, Present and Future. They are the Buddha of the Past, Dipankara, the Buddha of the Present, Sakyamuni, also known as the Tathagata Buddha, and the Buddha of the Future, Maitreya!" "The Tathagata Buddha is one of the three Buddhas of the past, present and future, and one of the three Buddhas of the past, present and future. He is in charge of the present and sits in the central world of Posahava. He is the master of Buddhism and the supreme Buddha of all!" "Below each of the five Buddhas, there are two Bodhisattvas standing on their left and right..." The clear voices of the Shaolin monks echoed between heaven and earth. More than a thousand believers listened to the explanations attentively, their eyes full of wonder. New things are replacing the old things, and in the process of the Shaolin monks' narration, many Buddhist stories are also involved, such as the Buddha cutting off his flesh to feed an eagle, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sitting in hell and making the aspiration of "not becoming a Buddha until hell is empty." Each of these small stories contained the ultimate Buddhist truth. The believers who listened to them nodded their heads in agreement. The Buddhist principles of bliss that had been promoted in the past by Huanxi Temple could not even last for one round before the Mahayana Buddhism passed down by Tathagata Buddha, and were quickly replaced by new Buddhist principles. In the hearts of all believers, the Mahayana Buddhism of Shaolin Temple quietly replaced the Pure Land Buddhism of Huanxi Temple. At the same time, the images of the Three Buddhas of the Past, Present and Future and the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Arhats of Lingshan Mountain were also deeply engraved in everyone's mind. The status of the once happy Buddha in the hearts of the people has unknowingly declined, and he has even been replaced! Such a scene happened simultaneously in nearly ten thousand small temples in the mountains, and the people of the Thousand Mountains Realm listened attentively to the new Buddhist teachings. This scene was not only happening in the Qianshan Realm, but also in the twelve Buddhist worlds occupied by Daxia. One hundred thousand Shaolin disciples, spread across the twelve directions of the universe, are doing their best to spread the Dharma, and around them, believers are also listening to the Dharma attentively. After talking for most of the day, the Shaolin monk finally stopped explaining and said with a smile: "Dear donors, this is roughly the situation of our Buddhist sect. As for the more detailed situation, if you want to understand it, you need to study Buddhist scriptures and practice Buddhist principles." "Thank you, Master!" The people bowed again. "By the way, Master, what temple is this?" the old man asked again. Since it is dedicated to Tathagata Buddha, it is definitely not the original Happy Temple. The monk smiled and said: "Shaolin Temple!" (End of this chapter)
