Global Catastrophe, Doomsday Gods

"If I hadn't heard Zen Master Wuxia's name, I wouldn't have dared to confirm my guess."

Seemingly seeing the surprise on Wei Xuan's face, Xuan Ming didn't show off and explained directly.

"In addition to being famous for the monastery of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Jiuhua Mountain is also famous for the existence of many physical Bodhisattvas. It is said that there were at most 14 physical Bodhisattvas in Jiuhua Mountain, but only 6 remained in later generations due to various reasons. .

Among these six physical Bodhisattvas, the earliest one is Zen Master Wuxia. Zen Master Wuxia, also known as Monk Haiyu, lived during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. He passed away in the third year of Tianqi at the age of 6.

In the fourth year of the Apocalypse, an imperial envoy came to Jiuhua Mountain to offer incense at the Star Picking Pavilion. At night, he saw a glow emanating from the place where the vat was placed.

In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Ming Si Zong Zhu Youjian honored Zen Master Wuxia as the Yingshen Bodhisattva, a physical Bodhisattva personally canonized by the emperor. "

Although Old Taoist Xuan Ming is a member of Taoism, he once served as the president of a religious association and is proficient in hundreds of classics. To a certain extent, he can be regarded as a Buddhist and Taoist practitioner.

I had introduced things related to Jiuhua Mountain and Ksitigarbha to Wei Xuan before, and now I was even more familiar with the physical Bodhisattva in Jiuhua Mountain.

This was the first time Wei Xuan discovered that this old Taoist was not only keen on establishing sects and making meritorious deeds, but he was also a mobile religious library.

At this point, Wei Xuan basically understood the origins of these dark monks without any further explanation from the veteran.

He also never expected that the physical Bodhisattva enshrined in this temple would actually awaken under the changes in the world and become such an immortal existence in front of him.

What should this situation be?

Have you become a Buddha?

Obviously not!

Is it a human, a demon, or a zombie?

It's simply impossible to define.

"This Taoist priest is very knowledgeable and admirable!"

After hearing the introduction of Master Xuanming, Zen Master Wuxia bowed slightly with his withered body, clasped his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name.

Judging from his words and deeds, he is indeed like an eminent monk.

It's just that withered appearance and golden light, it looks weird no matter what.

"The poor monk is both flawless and not flawless, just like a dream!"

This skeleton-like Zen Master looks extremely strange in the red cloak he wears.

But Wei Xuan and Xuan Ming both understood what he meant.

Even if he is the awakened body of Zen Master Wuxia, the real Zen Master Wuxia is already dead.

The body that is awakened now can no longer be regarded as the real Zen Master Wuxia. At most, it has inherited part of his memory.

"Since the Master is an eminent monk, a Buddha in the flesh, and obviously possesses great strength, why doesn't he slay demons and demons, but instead becomes an enemy of human beings and takes action against humans like us?"

After knowing the origins of these monks, Wei Xuan felt strange. He glanced at the dark monks and raised his voice.

"Become a Buddha?"

There was no expression on Zen Master Wuxia's golden face, but he let out a weird laugh.

"I originally thought that after practicing Buddhism all my life, I would eventually be able to enter the Western Paradise with perfect merit, but in the end I found that not only did I not enter the Western Paradise, but I was in hell."

"Are you going to slay demons? Little Taoist Priest, do you think I am different from the demons now?"

The Wuxia Zen Master looked at Wei Xuan with his golden face, and his strange voice was filled with a hellish chill.

Seeing this situation, Wei Xuan suddenly understood.

The physical mutation of these physical Bodhisattvas is on the one hand, but the most critical thing is that their inner beliefs have collapsed and they have fallen into a demonic state.

The so-called eminent monks and great virtues are those who practice Buddhism profoundly and have pure faith in their hearts.

Practice Buddhism throughout your life and promote Buddhism in order to enter the Western Paradise and become a Buddha and a saint.

But it turns out that the Western Paradise does not exist, the Dharma he preached was false, and his faith completely collapsed.

In such a situation, even a normal person would inevitably go insane, let alone these physical Bodhisattvas who only inherited part of the memory of the physical body.

However, after all, these monks had special origins and extraordinary strength. Wei Xuan still wanted to fight for it, so he said: "Dear Masters, have you forgotten that this is the dojo of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva! Since you worship Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, You should understand that unless hell is empty, you will never become a Buddha.

Nowadays, the world is in chaos and demons are rampant. You have awakened in this hellish chaotic world and are endowed with the great power of Ksitigarbha. How can you not understand that this in itself is a practice of Buddhism?

It is said that everything in pink is a skeleton. Master is obsessed with this body. Don’t you know that this body is what your Buddhism wants to abandon? Or are you saying that you don’t understand? Do you think you are a different person under different skins? "

Wei Xuan's words made the dark monks across from him couldn't help but froze there and fell into deep thought.

After a while, at the foot of the mountain outside the temple, the first monk who attacked Wei Xuan suddenly stood up and said: "We worship the gods and Buddhas of the gods, but in the end, there are no gods and Buddhas? Everything is just in vain. Buddha is empty, and Western Bliss is also empty! Since everything does not exist, how can we talk about Buddha and Dharma?"

Wei Xuan sneered and asked, "What is Buddha and what is Buddhism?"

The Dark Monk of the Flesh Bodhisattva opposite him couldn't help but trembled when he heard Wei Xuan's question.

Wei Xuan continued: "You have practiced Buddhism all your life and worshiped the gods and Buddhas. Don't you still understand? The real Buddha is in our hearts. What we say and do is Buddhism. I am the Buddha, and the Buddha is me! So everyone After your death, your physical body will be worshiped by future generations, because in the eyes of future generations, you are the Buddha! Are you also empty?"

These dark monks opposite are all people with profound Buddhist practice and wisdom, otherwise they would not be incorruptible.

It's just that after suddenly awakening, he faced the collapse of his faith and the drastic changes in the world, which caused his thoughts to fall into extremes.

Now with Wei Xuan's advice, the practice and wisdom of these dark monks were instantly illuminated, and then illuminated themselves.

After the darkness was dispelled again, these former eminent monks and virtuous men immediately became wise and perfected, and returned to a state of self-awareness.

"Amitabha! Thank you, Taoist Master, for illuminating the Dharma and enlightening those who are stupid. We fell into the devil's path and can turn around today!"

The physical Bodhisattvas headed by Zen Master Wuxia were all extremely ashamed after they woke up. They all bowed to Wei Xuan as if they were respecting the Dharma.

"Masters, you're welcome. I just met by chance. Masters, being able to break through the obstacles, realize your true self, and see the truth depends on your own practice!"

Although these physical Bodhisattvas cannot be regarded as real human beings, they are after all transformed from advanced human practitioners.

Now that he has broken through the obstacles and returned to the right path, Wei Xuan also gives the other party full respect and respect.

And because of Wei Xuan's awakening, these physical Bodhisattvas also gave Wei Xuan full respect and respect, and very politely invited the two of them to enter the main hall of the temple for a discussion.
