Chapter 1167
: Big ambition
"It doesn't have to be separated, and it doesn't have to be together."
Confucius said: "In the Xuanhuang universe, there are six leaders. Among them, the leader of the Sanqing has great luck and should be the leader. The leader of Nuwa has great merits in creating people, and has great merits in the way of heaven. "In the Dao of Heaven, the human race should be the protagonist in the world, and Nuwa should be the leader. It's just that the Sanqing leader and the three of them became the leader when they established a religion, and the process of Nuwa leader becoming the leader is somewhat unclear."
"She has made great achievements in creating humans, and the human race appeared between heaven and earth because of her, but in the end, the Nuwa leader became the leader first, and then established the demon sect. She was supposed to be the Holy Mother of the human race, and she became the leader by relying on the human race. But in the end, they abandoned the human race and established the demon sect. Since the calamity, in the enemy world, the human race has suffered a lot and has been oppressed by the demon race for countless years, so the friendship between the Nuwa leader and the human race has long been It's exhausted..."
"The remaining two leaders are from Buddhism."
"The process of becoming the leader of these two leaders is extremely difficult."
"In ancient times, Sanqing and Nuwa became the leader of the leader one after another, and their power shocked the world. And Amitabha and Zhunti were also disciples of the ancestor Hongjun. Seeing that the other four people had obtained the Tao and became the leader of the leader, they felt anxious. Amitabha immediately established the Western religion, which is later Western Buddhism."
"However, after Amitabha established the great teaching, he has not become the leader for a long time."
"It wasn't until the story of Nüwa becoming the leader of the sect by relying on her merits was spread all over the world that Amitabha Buddha suddenly realized."
"Therefore, Amitabha Buddha made 48 great wishes, and then he was recognized by the Dao of Heaven and became the leader in one step. One person attained Taoism and ascended to the top, and Zhunti and Amitabha fell in love with brothers. Western Buddhism was always created by Amitabha Buddha, but Zhunti It is also counted among the founders of the mountain, so Zhunti also followed Amitabha and became the leader of the sect."
A paragraph of words, said from the mouth of Confucius, this is an ancient secret, few people in the world know.
Great ambition!
Liu Yi's eyes lit up, and he said, "What are the 48 great wishes of Amitabha Buddha?"
******
The first wish: If when I become a Buddha, there are still people in the three evil ways of hell, hungry ghosts, and animals in my country, I will not obtain the supreme enlightenment.
The second wish: If when I become a Buddha, the gods and people in my land, after the end of their lifespan, are still degenerate and experience the three evil paths, I will not attain the supreme enlightenment.
The third wish: If when I become a Buddha, not all the gods and people in my land have golden bodies, I will not obtain the supreme enlightenment.
The fourth wish: If when I become a Buddha, the gods and people in my country will have different appearances and colors, and if there are differences in beauty and ugliness, I will not obtain the supreme enlightenment.
The fifth wish: If when I become a Buddha, all the gods and people in my country cannot understand the causes and conditions of the past, and the lowest ones cannot even know the causes and conditions of all things since billions of nayutas. That is, not to attain the supreme enlightenment.
……
A paragraph of words came out of the air again: "All these, a total of 48 great vows, are all vows made by Amitabha Buddha. These 48 great vows are aimed at all living beings in the world. Amitabha Buddha feels that all living beings are suffering, so He wants to save all sentient beings, let them escape into the world of ultimate bliss, and no longer suffer half a share of suffering. This kind of compassionate, merciful mind has finally been recognized by the Dao of Heaven, and he immediately became the leader of the sect."
Liu Yi asked, "What is supreme enlightenment?"
Confucius said: "In the mouths of ordinary monks, the supreme enlightenment is becoming a Buddha. It's just that when Amitabha Buddha established Buddhism, he was already at the peak of Taoist cultivation. He made 48 kinds of great wishes. Naturally, it is impossible to only In order to become a Buddha, wouldn’t that mean living backwards? The so-called supreme enlightenment is actually the supreme attainment of Buddhism, the realm of Buddhism. Within the Xuanhuang universe, from the ancestor Hongjun down, the leader is respected, but the leader is still alive Under the great power, how can it be regarded as the supreme enlightenment? Therefore, if Amitabha Buddha cannot fulfill the four grand ambitions, he cannot break through the realm of the leader."
Liu Yi asked again: "Could it be that the six leaders between heaven and earth can go one step further? If they go one step further, aren't they just like the ancestor Hongjun?"
"Of course! Exactly."
Confucius replied: "It's a pity that the Nuwa leader became the leader because of the human race, and finally turned his back on the human race and lost the foundation to become the leader. Although they have extraordinary luck and unparalleled luck, they still have some regrets and cannot go any further. Only Amitabha and Zhunti have extraordinary talents and great merit. Crying? Cormorants eat fish and shrimp, and fish and shrimp suffer; He escaped with his life, causing the goshawk to go hungry, so the goshawk is suffering. Amitabha Buddha was eager to become the leader of the church, and he made four grand wishes without shame. I am afraid that until the sea is dry and the rocks are rotten, and the universe is turned into ashes, his wishes will not be ashes. hard to accomplish……"
"It is so!"
Liu Yi sighed in his heart, his eyes suddenly sparkled, and he said in surprise: "In this way, I am afraid that among the six leaders, the only one who has a chance to go further is the leader of Zhunti! Unlike Nuwa, who felt sorry for the human race who helped her become the leader, and unlike Amitabha, who was entangled in great ambitions... This Zhunti was really shameless to a very high level. He followed Amitabha to become the leader, and in the end he betrayed Amitabha The cause and effect of heaven and earth that Amitabha Buddha was entangled in when he made his four grand vows has nothing to do with him!"
"Hahaha...Since Pangu opened up the world, there have been two words in the universe, which are the most frightening. One is Zhunti's "fate with me" and the other is Shen Gongbao's "Tao" Friends, please stay behind'."
Confucius said: "From ancient times to the present, as long as the Zhunti leader has his eyes on something, he will fight for it, and he will say, 'This thing is destined for me', regardless of whether the thing is unowned or not. They will all intervene, and will not give up until they seize it. As for Shen Gongbao, he is the one who should be robbed at the time of the catastrophe. He and Jiang Ziya are deadly enemies. Jiang Ziya helped the Western Zhou Dynasty, and Shen Gongbao assisted Zhou. King. Whether it is a monk from three mountains and five mountains, or a fellow Taoist from all corners of the country, as long as Shen Gongbao meets him, Shen Gongbao will say "Daoist friends, please stay behind", and then he will ask people to help him assist King Zhou. In the end, he will inevitably die The fate of soul extinction. Back then, it was precisely because of this that I went to participate in the war, and I beat Jiang Ziya's monks who explained the teachings with the help of the five-color divine light. "Your Excellency has a destiny with me", and then he wanted to take me into the Buddhist gate and be his Buddhist guardian, euphemistically called: Peacock Great Ming King; but I swallowed it in my stomach."
"Fellow Daoist has a really good appetite."
Liu Yi said with emotion, "Presumably, the many enemy monks swallowed by Fellow Daoists in the battle of Longmen Heaven Realm a hundred years ago were not digested in their stomachs?"
"Of course!"
Confucius said: "He must be able to do the first grade of junior high school, and I can do the fifteenth grade. Although my Confucianism has been established for countless years, it has been completely buried in the door of practice. , I can’t display my supernatural powers. Now that the wind is raging, it’s time for my Confucianism to be famous in the universe. It’s just that my teaching is weak and lonely, and I lack a lot of guardians in the teaching. There are a lot of ancient monks here...Di Jun and Dong Huangtai have 360 five ancient gods, known as Zhou Tian 360 Five Stars, these people with extraordinary strength are just right to be my Confucian guardians."
"only……"
But Liu Yi said: "Fellow Taoist once listened to lectures under the head of the Tongtian Sect, and was also the Peacock Daming King of Buddhism... If it is of Confucianism, it will also be contaminated with the atmosphere of Taoism and Buddhism. I am afraid that the foundation of Confucianism will not be stable."
"It doesn't matter, the gentleman of Tian Xingjian strives for self-improvement, and the gentleman of the terrain Kun carries his virtues."
Confucius said: "In my Confucianism, all are gentlemen. I also have three thousand disciples under my sect. Although they are not as powerful as the three thousand ancient masters when Hongjun Patriarch was preaching in the Primal Chaos Zixiao Palace, my three thousand disciples But there are 72 immortals, such as Yanhui, Zigong, Duanmuci, Zeng Shen, etc., who are all outstanding people... The so-called Daoist must open the sky and establish the Dao, and now I have become a Daoist, and naturally established a Confucianism One door, but no matter what, my door is also within the way of heaven."
As soon as the four words within the way of heaven came out, Confucius' face was full of emotion.
He already had a very strange appearance, one of the rare seven-faced features in the world, but now he frowns and shows pain, making his appearance even more weird.
What Confucius said, Liu Yi can't answer for the time being.
It can even be said that today's Liu Yi encounters problems with the same difficulty as Kong Xuan's, and they are all related to the way of heaven.
Kong Xuan wanted to break away from the way of heaven all his life, but he was a Taoist within the way of heaven, and he was also a Taoist monarch after breaking through the way of heaven. The great teaching he established was naturally within the way of heaven.
And Liu Yiben could have become a person in the avenue, buried in the gate of the avenue.It's a pity that the eight hundred side gates of the Three Thousand Avenues are all within the Dao of Heaven. Liu Yi is willing to stop outside the gate of the Dao of Heaven and stop moving forward. For hundreds of years, he has not made any progress in his cultivation.
For hundreds of years, the universe has been surprisingly peaceful!
Like the vast ocean, if the coming storm is more violent, the sea before the storm will be calmer.
There is a chilling atmosphere in the entire heavens and worlds.
Huge chains were forged by Mantian gods and Buddhas.
The gods and Buddhas flew in the void with chains, and dragged one side of the world with the chains, and moved closer to the central world.
With the strength of gods and Buddhas, dragging the world to gallop in the void is not something that can be done overnight.
Even the sea of clouds and heaven, which is very close to the central world, took decades to be directly bordered by the central world.
Later, even the two leaders were dispatched.
Amitabha Buddha displayed the great supernatural powers of the Buddha Kingdom in his palm, while the leader of Tongtian released the four swords of Zhuxian to arrange a large formation. The two leaders showed their own skills and transported the extremely distant world...
Whenever the world borders, Liu Yi, who is located in the Jinghong Cave, will vaguely feel that the earth's veins and the aura of heaven and earth are giving birth to slight fluctuations.
So, for thousands of years.
When the heavens and the worlds are completely merged into one and turned into a complete world, the extremely rich aura of heaven and earth in the central world will naturally benefit the whole world.
Just as water flows downhill, so does the aura of heaven and earth.
The territory of the Central Great World has almost doubled, and within this doubled territory, six or seven out of ten are originally the human world with little aura.
As a result, the concentration of heaven and earth aura in the central world is only half of what it was before.
However, the number of creatures in the world has increased several times, especially the children of the human race, it can be said that it has increased by a hundred times!
The larger the population base, the higher the possibility of a genius being born!
Therefore, various sects and forces visited the mortal world one after another, hoping to find a talented disciple who could pass on the mantle.
It's a pity that many mortals in the human world have a unique idea.
This idea seems to be completely incomprehensible to the aloof practitioners.
Everything is inferior, only reading is high!
I would rather study than join a practice school.
In particular, those who practice like to cut off the ties of the world, like to be independent from the world, and not to be contaminated by ordinary karma, which is even more unacceptable to many poor people.
They think that reading is more useful. After reading the books of sages and sages, they can be promoted and rich, can benefit the village, and can bless the whole village...and become practitioners. It's just letting relatives enjoy favors, how can it compare with the prospect of becoming an official after studying and getting fame?
The more scholars there are, the more prosperous the incense in the Confucius Temple will be.
With the help of many auras from heaven and earth, the awe-inspiring aura cultivated by Confucian scholars can indeed be used to display Confucian methods.
A great sect has emerged.
When Liu Yiguang opened the gate of the Shocking Rainbow Cave, held a banquet, and held the ceremony of accepting apprentices, Kong Xuan also came.
After the banquet, Kong Xuan stayed alone and chatted with Liu Yi for a while.
Confucius declared: "For thousands of years, I have been waiting for your apprentice wedding banquet. After this banquet, I will retreat and practice hard. As for my clone, Confucius, I will walk between heaven and earth, looking for my reincarnation. A disciple who has rebuilt."
Liu Yi asked: "Who is it that makes Confucius work so hard for him?"
"My disciple's name is Meng Ke, and his name is Mencius."
Confucius declared: "If our school of Confucianism is to prosper, it should be on Meng Ke."
"I'm different from fellow daoists."
But Liu Yi said: "I have a branch of swordsmanship, if I want to flourish, it must be on myself!"
"Hahaha……"
Kong Xuan laughed and said: "You Daoist Liu is different from me, but has similar ambitions, so we can seek advice."
This statement is to take apart the phrase "the way is different, but not to seek".
"Fellow Daoist Kong wants to find a disciple, and I also want to go down the mountain to find the way..."
Liu Yi said: "I don't know if Confucius and I are destined to meet each other in the world. When Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng and others from my sect bowed down to me at the apprentice banquet, I suddenly felt touched by the way of swordsmanship and pinched my fingers. But I can’t figure it out. But this matter should be related to my enlightenment.”
[Author's digression]: Big chapter!
Speaking of Mencius, in my impression he was a cynic.
He said things like "Although there are tens of millions of people, I will go", and he has done such things.
As the master of Mencius, Confucius has never been a wimp who talks about "benevolence".
When someone asked Confucius: "How about repaying grievances with virtue?" Confucius replied: "How can I repay virtue? Repay grievances with honesty, and repay virtue with virtue."
Anyway, in my personal understanding, to report a complaint directly means that after being bitten by a dog, you must immediately bite back, which is considered "straight"!
If you don't bite back, you will complain with a "bend".
He was very "straight" when Zhu Shaozhengmao was born in seven days.
Confucius said: "In the Xuanhuang universe, there are six leaders. Among them, the leader of the Sanqing has great luck and should be the leader. The leader of Nuwa has great merits in creating people, and has great merits in the way of heaven. "In the Dao of Heaven, the human race should be the protagonist in the world, and Nuwa should be the leader. It's just that the Sanqing leader and the three of them became the leader when they established a religion, and the process of Nuwa leader becoming the leader is somewhat unclear."

"The remaining two leaders are from Buddhism."
"The process of becoming the leader of these two leaders is extremely difficult."

"I'm different from fellow daoists."

"Hahaha……"
Kong Xuan laughed and said: "You Daoist Liu is different from me, but has similar ambitions, so we can seek advice."
