Chapter 531 Heavenly People

In a few months, Li Qi traveled 150,000 miles and visited 12 countries, each with different scenery.

The mountains and rivers have different products and customs.

Along the way, he passed by various Buddhist sects, and Li Qi also killed several of them.

Some small countries are only more than a thousand miles from east to west and more than 600 miles from north to south, but they are rich in products, suitable for millet and wheat, with japonica rice, grapes, pomegranates, pears, natans, peaches, and apricots. Li Qi ate a lot of familiar fruits here.

On the way, he also saw a place where dragon foals originated, called the Big Dragon Pond. It is said that the dragons changed their shapes and mated with mares here, and then gave birth to dragon foals. There are many dragon foals here, and the strong ones are difficult to control, but the sons of dragon foals are easy to tame, so this country produces many good horses.

There is also a country called "Shiqini Country", which is full of sand and stones, sparse trees, and few flowers and fruits. The climate is cold and fierce, the customs are wild and brave, they are willing to kill and steal, they don't know etiquette, they don't know good and evil, they are confused about future disasters and blessings, and they are afraid of disasters in the present world. Therefore, they are cruel and inhumane to the outside world, often plundering, but they are extremely pious, and there are many people who devote all their wealth to incense.

Some are similar to the monk Chanzhi, who practices both Buddha and devil, highlighting a bloody terror. The people in his country are violent, do not know sin and blessing, have a vulgar appearance, have no etiquette, do not know how to learn, but are afraid of Buddhist monks, like to use blood sacrifices to please monks and Buddha, and are good at making "five nectars".

When Li Qi passed by, because he hid his cultivation, he was ambushed by the other party, who wanted to catch Li Qi and refine him into blood and bones.

So Li Qi killed them all, crushed their souls, and prevented them from entering reincarnation.

Li Qi was also confused about what he did...

It is said that he practiced both Buddha and devil, but there is neither Buddha nor devil, and neither Buddha nor devil is so low-level.

The devil is indeed abominable, even to the point of being hateful, and is hostile to countless people, because the devil itself is built on the suffering of other practitioners.

But the skills and power of the devil cultivators are enough to make other sects recognize their status, and even let them occupy one of the nine places in the world.

Things like blood sacrifice, looting, and offering incense are not even disdained by the devil, just like the difference between petty theft and banditry.

And the Buddhist sect is even less likely to advocate such behavior. This so-called "Buddha and devil are one" is so low-level that neither side wants it.

However, the Buddhist sect does not care about temporary death or life, so there is no special response to them. All right and wrong will be clarified in time.

Let alone the life and death of these ordinary people, many Buddhists in the past liked to reincarnate ten or even nine times. For example, a man named Jin Chanzi finally achieved enlightenment after ten reincarnations. Life is not that important to them.

It is precisely because of this kind of thing that the Buddhist sect almost ignores these things.

Since they don't care, Li Qi will take care of it.

Many people were killed along the way, but it doesn't matter anyway. Since death is not the end, killing is not a sin.

Although killing seems to be a Buddhist precept... I don't know what they think.

Anyway, Li Qi is not a monk, it doesn't matter, and he doesn't care about these things.

Kill if you should.

Because of these things, killing, sightseeing, listening to Buddhist teachings, etc., he was delayed on the road for about half a year, but after half a year, Li Qi finally arrived at his destination.

This is also the place where the Lord of Lingxiao introduced Li Qi.

Dajini Tian.

Because someone introduced it, Li Qi specially searched for many documents and classics inside Wushen Mountain to find the introduction of this place.

After many twists and turns, he has a preliminary understanding of this place.

Dajini Tian, ​​also known as the Vajrayogini Pure Land, is in charge of the legendary Baichen Fox King Bodhisattva, or according to the custom of Buddhism, she is directly called "Dagini Tian".

It is a small custom of the Buddhist sect that some powerful people who do not have special honorific titles are generally named after the "gods" they control.

The White Fox King Bodhisattva controls Dakini Deva, so she is called Dakini Deva, including Mahakala.

The real name of Mahakala is Mahakala. He who controls Mahakala is called by this name. Others include Auspicious Deva, Mahadeva, Mahabrahma, Asubha Deva, and Infinite Space Deva.

Dakini Deva is a follower of Mahakala and one of the Yaksha ghosts. He has the supernatural power of freedom and is one of the four gods. Huilin Yinyi 35 says: "Dajni is the general name of ghosts, which can charm people and communicate with people."

Like many celestial beings, Baichen Fox King had a shameful past, but was later enlightened and converted. He can predict the life and death of others, but he used to like to feed on people's hearts and was filthy. He was a strange monster with a bad reputation, but he has not caused any trouble since he was enlightened. He should have turned over a new leaf.

It is said that he was originally a demon who brought disaster to the country. In ancient times, he bewitched an ancient emperor and caused great unrest, which directly led to the human race being penetrated by the heavens, and a large number of human race masters joined the Shinto or died.

So, after some twists and turns, he was killed by the human race, but although his body was chopped into pieces and his soul was annihilated, some of them still escaped by chance and fled to a small island in the East China Sea, turning into ghosts and demons. Finally, he was subdued by Mahakala and converted to Buddhism, becoming the current Wisdom Dakini, Baichen Fox King Bodhisattva, Dajini Tian.

And the place that the Crimson Flower God introduced to Li Qi was here.

It is said that Li Qi forgot the name of the handsome fox monk who accepted him in Fengde Temple at the beginning. He came out of the Tujini Heaven.

It's a pity for this monk. Li Qi actually had a good impression of him, but it is said that he died in that demonic attack.

Fate is unpredictable.

With this in mind, Li Qi came to the Buddhist temple in Tujinitian.

The location of this Buddhist temple is in the country of Wuzhanna. It is more than a thousand miles away, with lush trees, luxuriant flowers and fruits, mild cold and heat, and gentle wind and rain. It's just that his human nature is cowardly, his worldly sentiments are treacherous, he likes to learn but does not work hard, he prohibits mantras as an art, he likes to wear white clothes, he respects Buddhism, he believes in Mahayana, he has eighteen thousand monks, and there are many temples of Baichen Fox King Bodhisattva.

Li Qi casually came to a temple, just like an ordinary pilgrim.

However, he followed the method of Lord Lingxiao and sat up cross-legged in front of the statue of Baichen Fox King Bodhisattva, lit incense, began to meditate and recite mantras.

There were quite a few monks around, but seeing how familiar he was, those monks didn't step forward too much. After all, Li Qi looked like a veteran at first sight.

In fact, he is indeed a proficient person. In the past six months, he has visited at least a hundred temples. He is already very familiar with what to do and does not even need to welcome visiting monks.

While chanting sutras and burning incense, he observed the Bodhisattva statue of Bai Chen Fox King Bodhisattva. Li Qi could see that it was generally a kind-hearted female statue riding a white fox. It looked very similar to most Bodhisattva statues, but a little enchanting. But generally speaking, it is dignified and decent, and one can sense a solemn spirit from above.

Li Qi observed the Bodhisattva statue. As the incense burned, smoke filled the surroundings. The blue smoke enveloped him, and his spirit seemed to be blinded.

Li Qi immediately stopped reciting Buddhist scriptures and looked around.

Unknowingly, the surrounding Buddhist temples disappeared, and it seemed that only this Bodhisattva statue was left in front of me. The world outside the green smoke seemed to have disappeared.

It really disappeared.

Outside the green smoke, there were originally those monks, pilgrims, various creatures, and buildings, but at this moment they all turned into nothingness and turned into pitch black. No traces could be seen anymore. Li Qi opened his eyes wide, trying to find some clues, but still Nothing can be seen.

This insecurity even made him want to unblock Zhenzhiyun.

However, he still held back and continued to chant Buddhist sutras slowly and waited seriously.

This darkness lasted for a while.

After a while, the light smoke dissipated, and a lot of fragrance suddenly appeared around him. It was not a kitschy fragrance, but a very fresh and elegant fragrance of vegetation.

The surrounding scenery also appeared again, and the Buddhist temple reappeared, but the monks and pilgrims disappeared, and it seemed that only Li Qi was left.

Li Qi got up from the futon, only to find that the Bodhisattva statue in front of him had also changed.

He is no longer that kind-hearted person, but has become... extremely, coquettish?

Li Qi couldn't describe what it looked like, because... it was very mixed, but it was undeniable that... it was extremely beautiful.

It is not the usual solemn statue of a Bodhisattva, but instead a statue of a beautiful woman.

Cross your hands upward, hold each other, raise your head, push your chest and waist forward, and sit on the lotus platform with your lower body. Various mixed flowers are used, incense is burned, oil lamps are burned, flags are covered with wonderful music, and the posture of sitting in the lotus position is knotted.

If it were an ordinary Bodhisattva statue, this posture would be normal. Li Qi knew that this was a special physical practice called 'Yoga'.

However, the figure of the Baichen Fox King Bodhisattva is too enchanting. He is obviously doing serious things, but it seems not serious...

Li Qi thought he was calm and immune to ordinary temptations, but when he saw the Bodhisattva statue, he still felt something was wrong in his heart.

She is indeed a witch who has brought disaster to the country...

I heard that before the other party achieved the status of Bodhisattva, he was able to seduce human kings, and he was a typical peerless demon king. This was already the case at that time, and now that he has achieved the status of Bodhisattva, it is specifically stated in the Buddhist scriptures: "He can enchant people."

It's just a statue, that's all. That's really...

Li Qi shook his head, forcing himself to look away from Du Jinitian, then walked to the entrance of the Buddhist temple, opened the door and went out.

The moment the door was pushed open, a strong light bloomed outside.

Li Qi suddenly felt his body was light, as if he was no longer bound by gravity.

This is... an empty line?

As the light gradually got used to it, Li Qi opened his eyes again. Everything in front of him was so dreamy.

The land is on the water. The water stops at the wind. The wind stops in the air. Strong winds in the sky sometimes arise on their own and turn the supreme wheel.

Floating in the sky are elephants and horses, treasured carriages, golden wheels, palaces, famous clothes, and delicacies.

There are countless heavenly beings living freely in it. Their clothes and food are all fragrant and fragrant, and they all have flags and subtle sounds.

The houses, houses, palaces and pavilions in which they live can be described in terms of their shapes, heights and sizes. They may include one treasure, two treasures, or even countless treasures. You can think of them as you wish.

He also covered the land with wonderful robes of treasures, and all gods and humans walked on them. Infinite nets of treasures covered the Buddha, and they were all covered with gold-stranded pearls and hundreds of thousands of miscellaneous treasures.

The heavenly beings float happily in the air, enjoying everything at will, without any sorrow or worry. Some are talking about love, some are singing softly, some are enjoying delicious food, some are drinking fine wine, and some are Every deity enjoys painting creation to the fullest.

This place is full of unimaginable beauty in the human world. There are beautiful celestial maidens wandering around, and there are pleasant heavenly music playing from time to time. The graceful flowers and leaves are lush, the fragrance is dense, the fruits are numerous, the light is clean and sweet, the seven treasures are everywhere, and the beautiful cities built by gold, silver, coral and glass are everywhere.

Compared with the mortal world in the world, the scenery here is even better than Chang'an.

Li Qi looked at all this, as if he was living in the legendary paradise.

Yes, the lives here are "celestial beings", or "celestial beings".

These heavens, such as Dajini, Mahadeva, Indra, etc., the creatures in them are called "celestial beings", which are the "celestial divisions" among the eight divisions of the gods and dragons.

"Celestial beings" are the sentient beings living in each "heaven". Their lives are much better than those on earth, and their lifespans are much longer.

The superiority can be seen, look at the beautiful scenery nearby.

Endless food, houses are made of seven treasures, and the celestial beings live freely in them, without worries, without sorrow, and are very rich.

However...

Li Qi has talked with people like Sakya Zhaba more than once in the past six months, and has also read a lot of Buddhist scriptures. Naturally, he also knows that the gods do not enjoy happiness forever.

The gods are still in reincarnation, but they have achieved results in their previous life, so they can reincarnate as gods and enjoy a happy life.

If they do not seize the opportunity to practice, then when they die, they may fall directly into hell and suffer the suffering corresponding to their current happiness.

When the life of the gods ends, it is the so-called "five declines of the gods".

They will have dirty clothes, withered hair, sweat under their armpits, smelly bodies, and will not be happy with their seats. The graceful heavenly music will no longer rise, and the natural light emitted from their bodies will gradually fade away. Other gods and goddesses will also leave him, and finally let him die in pain.

The gods do not suffer when they are alive, but if they indulge in pleasure and do not practice the Dharma, then after they die, they will suffer thousands of times more than mortals.

This is also one of the means of Buddhism.

If you cultivate blessings in the mortal world, you can be reborn as a celestial being and enjoy blessings. When the blessings are exhausted, you will fall into hell and suffer.

If you have always remembered, then as long as you come a few times, I am afraid that even a donkey should learn to practice asceticism.

Practitioners tempered by this method will probably lose interest in all suffering and all joy, because they have seen it all, and the only thing left is a firm heart of asceticism.

Buddhism... It's really scary.
