Journey Starts From Wudang - Chapter 547
The news of the Tang Monk’s master and apprentice’s capture of xiaoleiyin Temple soon spread to Lu zhier.
“Maitreya?” Lu Zhi murmured to himself, and his eyebrows were full of meditation.
Lu Zhi naturally knows the origin of the little Leiyin temple and the Yellow eyebrow monster, but for the Maitreya Buddha, Lu Zhi has only heard its name and doesn’t know its details.
Lu Zhi can’t guess why he sent the boy under his seat to participate in the journey to the West. I’m afraid only Maitreya himself knows whether it’s just to seek merit or another purpose.
After all, based on Lu Zhi’s understanding of Buddhism, the Maitreya Buddha and the Tathagata may not be so harmonious.
At that time, Lao Jun went west to Hangu pass and turned Hu into a Buddha. The Buddha Buddha was born, which added the last link to Buddhism. The doctrine of Buddhism was finally improved, and the Dharma pulse of Buddhism was divided into three generations of Buddha.
The third Buddha has two theories, horizontal and vertical, from which the burning lamp is divided into the Buddha, representing the ancient Buddha in the past, the present Tathagata Buddha in the present, and finally led by Maitreya, representing the future Buddha in the future.
Although the Three Dharma veins belong to Buddhism, they are not the same, and their teachings are different.
Just like the difference of Taoism in Xuanmen, the Three Dharma veins in Buddhism are naturally very different.
Today’s Buddhism is Mahayana Buddhism created by the Tathagata. The present Buddha is in charge of power, the ancient Buddha to which the lamp belongs has retired, and the future Buddha of Maitreya will take over the present Buddha in the future.
Therefore, the relationship between Maitreya and Tathagata is like the difference between emperors and princes. However, due to the different Dharma veins, although the Tathagata holds the power of Buddhism, it is difficult to command Maitreya’s future Buddha.
As for burning the lamp, he belongs to the past and has no chance to master the power of Buddhism, but he is obviously unwilling to be silent. Now he is actively leaning towards Mahayana Buddhism of the Tathagata.
But Maitreya is different from burning a lamp, because he is the future master of Buddhism and the ultimate successor of Buddhism set by two western saints. He belongs to the real lineage left over from the original western religion. How can he be willing to bow to the Tathagata?
Don’t you see, the Yellow eyebrow monster has turned into a small Leiyin temple, and he has changed into a Tathagata. He deceives Tang monks and disciples, and has no respect for the Tathagata at all.
From the behavior of the Yellow eyebrow monster, we can see that Maitreya is afraid that he is not so respectful and obedient to the Tathagata. It may be that he deliberately ordered the Yellow eyebrow monster to become the Tathagata, so as to belittle and vilify the Tathagata.
After all, if the Tathagata does not come down from the position of the Lord of Buddhism, he will not be able to “ascend the throne” and take over the position of the Lord of Buddhism.
To put it mildly, I’m afraid the Maitreya Buddha is the one who most hopes for the fall of the Tathagata among the three realms.
Therefore, it is impossible to say that Maitreya is to help the Mahayana Buddhism of the Tathagata to complete the journey to the West. It would be good if he did not make trouble. It is also difficult to know his attitude when sending a yellow eyebrow monster to set up a small Leiyin temple to block the road.
I just don’t know whether Maitreya’s move is aimed at Lu Zhi or to calculate the Tathagata.
After meditating for a few moments, Lu Zhi quickly made a decision in his heart. No matter whether Maitreya Buddha has any calculations in it, or whether he intends to target himself or the Tathagata, Lu Zhi will not let him achieve his wish this time!
After all, although Xuanmen and Buddhism are opposed, Lu Zhi would rather let Tathagata take over the power of Buddhism than Maitreya’s “accession to the throne”.
Anyway, the Tathagata was once born in Xuanmen. The Mahayana Buddhism he founded also integrates many essence of Xuanmen, which can help thin some Buddhist Qi.
If Maitreya Buddha takes over as the head of Buddhism, isn’t Buddhism equivalent to returning to the western religion of that year?
Now it seems that the two western saints in those years did have great spirit and wisdom. They were willing to divide Buddhism and even give way to the Tathagata. They let him become the master of Buddhism and become the master of Buddhism, so as to provide an opportunity for the prosperity of the West.
Later, the two western saints decided Maitreya as the future master of Buddhism, so that the power of Buddhism could finally return to the Western lineage. This is also full of wisdom.
However, when Maitreya, the future Buddha, will be able to “ascend the throne” is full of unknowns and variables.
Out of his own position and consideration, Lu Zhi also hopes that the future Buddha will always be the future Buddha!
A moment later, Lu Zhi called the guardian on duty and ordered: “pass on my will and order Yi Sheng Baode Zhenjun (Wei Hu), 28 stars and the Grand Marshal of the Four Saints of Lingxiao hall to take my Zhenwu soap carving flag and go to xiaoleiyin temple to subdue demons!”
After talking, Lu Zhi thought for a while, then called Heifeng and said, “Heifeng, take my seal and go to the West Lingshan mountain. You look like the Buddha. Please send the Lingshan people together and subdue the demons in xiaoleiyin temple.”
“The black wind was ordered.”
Although subduing a yellow eyebrow monster won’t take such a big battle, behind him is Maitreya. Lu Zhi naturally wants to make a gesture.
Contacting the Tathagata and asking him to send troops together is also to let the Tathagata express his attitude. Otherwise, Lu Zhi should also consider whether to change his plan.
Lu Zhi’s intention can’t be ignored by the Tathagata. After receiving the message sent by Heifeng, the Tathagata immediately ordered the two disciples under you, Ananda and Kaya, to lead the eighteen Arhats to xiaoleiyin temple to subdue demons.
In fact, at the beginning, the Tathagata was not allowed to prepare to attack the Yellow eyebrow monster. Even if the Yellow eyebrow monster set up a small Leiyin temple and offended him by his appearance, it was nothing to him and could not arouse his anger at all.
After all, although Maitreya regarded him as a great enemy, he did not care much about Maitreya’s actions, nor did he pay attention to him, but it was unnecessary.
Because now his Mahayana Buddhism is at its peak, far from the replacement of the Dharma pulse, Maitreya can’t shake his Mahayana Buddhism even if he wants to do anything.
So he simply doesn’t care. At present, the most important thing is the Everbright Buddhism. As for Maitreya’s future Buddha, it’s not time to care.
But since Lu Zhi sent a message, he didn’t mind showing the majesty of the Lord of Buddhism. Let Maitreya and Lu Zhi see who is in power now!
Tianting and Lingshan sent troops together. In such a big battle, it’s natural for Taishan to kill a yellow eyebrow monster. It’s easy to take it down.
If the Maitreya Buddha hadn’t seen the bad situation and quickly appeared, he saved the Yellow eyebrow monster from Wei Hu’s demon subduing pestle and cleared up the “misunderstanding”, I’m afraid the Yellow eyebrow monster would have gone away on the spot.
“Since the Buddha came to the East as a guarantor, I will return and reply to the emperor.” Wei Hu said.
Ananda also folded his hands and bowed to Maitreya Buddha, saying, “Buddha from the East, this yellow eyebrow monster, privately set up xiaoleiyin temple here and pretended to be the Buddha to slander my Buddha. It’s really crazy. Please punish him severely to show the majesty of my Buddha.”
Maitreya replied with a smile: “this evil barrier is indeed my neglect of discipline. If I take him back this time, I will punish him severely and then discipline him severely.”
Anankaya heard the speech, nodded and saluted Maitreya. Then he returned to Lingshan with eighteen Arhats and ordered to resume his life.
It was not until Wei Hu, anankaya and others left that the smiling look on Maitreya’s face suddenly converged.
Did Zhenwu of Tianting cooperate with Tathagata? It seems that neither Tianting nor Oriental Xuanmen want me to be the Lord of Buddhism.
“Hum!” Maitreya snorted coldly, then thought of something, and his face returned to the appearance of smiling again.
This time, he was just trying to test it. Even if the result was not ideal, it would not affect anything. After all, when the two saints let the Tathagata into the Buddhism, they had thought of the possibility of this situation, and had already made countermeasures early.
I’ll let you go on this journey to the West. It’s the day when I take over Buddhism when the disaster of Buddha and devil comes at the end of the journey to the West!
