Chapter 7922 Three levels
The little fish slowly stood up, but there was no fluctuation of Buddha's power around her, but she had a convincing demeanor.
"The Buddha said that all sentient beings possess the wisdom and virtues of Tathagata, but they cannot attain it because of delusion and attachment."
He whispered: "If you let go of your attachments and understand your mind and nature, are sentient beings also Buddhas?"
Nian Tong narrowed his eyes: "This is the saying of Mahayana Buddhism. Hinayana Buddhism emphasizes self-salvation. Only by practicing the Bodhisattva's fruit can one transcend. How do you argue?"
Xiaoyuer smiled: "Can you see the rivers?"
Nian Tong nodded: "I have seen it naturally."
Xiaoyuer asked again: "Can the water of the river flow alone?"
Niantong pondered: "Water merges into a river, and it is naturally not allowed to flow alone."
Xiaoyuer asked again: "If there is a drop of water saying that I just keep my own flowing, no matter what the other ones, what does the Lord think?"
Nian Tong was stunned.
Xiao Yuer continued: "The Hinayana Buddhism is like water flowing alone. Although it can clean itself, it is difficult to become a river and sea. The Mahayana Buddhism is like a convergence of rivers and rivers. It can not only save itself, but also save people."
Niantong frowned: "But sentient beings are ignorant, how can they be saved?"
Xiaoyuer shook her head: "Willingness or not is just a thought. This is the principle of the Buddha saying that all beings are equal."
Nian Tong was silent for a moment, suddenly raised his hand and waved his hand, and a picture appeared in the void - a demon cultivator full of evil was slaughtering creatures.
"This person is also a Buddha?" Nian Tong asked coldly.
Xiaoyuer stared at the picture and said softly: "Yes."
"Absurd!" Nian Tong shouted angrily.
Xiao Yuer was as calm as before: "He is a demon at this moment, just because he lost his original heart. If one day he put down his butcher knife and realized his nature, how could he become a Buddha? The Buddha I am talking about is not the fruit position, but the Buddha nature after great enlightenment."
Nian Tong sneered: "If you say that there is no difference between Buddha and demon, and no distinction between good and evil?"
Xiaoyuer shook her head: "There are differences between Buddha and demons, but there is no difference between Buddha nature. It is like a pearl covering the dust. Dust is dust, and beads are beads. When the dust is removed, the pearl will appear."
Niantong was silent again.
The Western religious people have already been in full swing.
"This son... can he argue with Venerable Niantong to such an extent?"
"His Buddhist principles are almost perfect!"
Jin Chanzi looked deep and murmured in a low voice: "Great wisdom is like foolishness... It turns out to be so."
——
The debate lasted for a full three days.
Nian Tong went from being aggressive at the beginning to thinking silently later, and finally sighed: "Forget it... I can't argue about your Buddhist principles."
The little fish clasped together and bowed: "The great venerable is humble."
Nian Tong shook his head: "It's not humility. Your Mahayana Buddhism is indeed reasonable."
He paused and suddenly asked, "Do you know why Hinayana Buddhism is prevalent in Western teachings?"
Xiaoyuer smiled: "Because it is harder to save others than to compare yourself."
Nian Tong laughed: "What a difficult word!"
He raised his hand and waved it, the void was shattered, and the two returned to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
At this moment, countless Western sects had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Xiaoyuer return safely, Venerable Niantong showed admiration on his face, everyone was shocked.
Jin Chanzi took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Zhizang, you have passed the second level."
Xiao Yu'er clasped her hands together: "Thank you, my envoy."
Jin Chanzi looked at him deeply and suddenly asked, "Do you know what the third level is?"
Xiaoyuer shook her head: "I don't know."
Jin Chanzi slowly said: "The third level - subdue demons."
Before he finished speaking, the sky of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss suddenly cracked open, and endless demonic energy surged out!
When the word "subduing demons" resounded through the Pure Land of Bliss, the sky suddenly cracked the blood-colored patterns like spider webs. It was not an ordinary space crack, but a sign that the "84,000 Heart Demon Abyss" suppressed by Western religions throughout the years was forcibly opened.
Countless viscous asphalt-like demonic energy gushed out from the cracks and condensed into seven hideous evil dragons in the air—each corresponding to seven fundamental demons of joy, anger, sorrow, sorrow, fear, and shock.
The golden wheel of merit behind Jin Chanzi's head suddenly lit up: "The third level of trial begins!" Before he finished speaking, the seven demon dragons were already roaring and pounced on Yu Jingrui.
The thickest "angry" demon dragon was the first to hit his eyebrows, and the dragon's tail swept across it and left a burning black track in the void.
"Uh--" Yu Jingrui groaned, and the monk's robe was windless. The suffering pupils of sentient beings in his left eye were suddenly covered with blood mist, and memories of this life surged like a flood: his father was drunk and emptying his spirit stone bag.
The debt collector thrust the door of the house with a loud noise, and the burning tears dripped between his eyebrows when his mother pushed him into the river... Every scene was like a whip stained with salt water whipping the soul.
"These ants are worthy of being called parents?" The inner demon transformed into a gambling scene in his sea of consciousness, and repeatedly played the image of his young father kneeling down and begging for mercy. "If you woke up earlier, why would it be..."
Yu Jingrui clenched his fists and his fingernails were deeply pinched into his palms. A wisp of golden Buddha blood dripped down his wrist, but was swept away by the "worry" demon torture in the air.
This dark blue demon dragon is injecting ice and cold poison into his heart, activate all the most painful memories of his reincarnation for a hundred years.
The mother's frozen fingers before the dyeing vat, the child holding a candy man outside the window of the private school, and the child discussing property division in front of the sickbed...
"All sentient beings suffer?" The inner demon let out a sharp smile like a night owl, "Then why are you awake alone?" Countless fragments of memory suddenly twisted, turning into billions of chains with barbed chains, wrapping his heart into a cocoon.
At this moment, three breaths had passed outside. The audience saw Yu Jingrui standing in the void, and seven demon dragons were drilling in and out of his body.
His left eye completely turned into a blood cave, and his right eye's Pure Land Pupil was also covered with black meridians. The most terrifying thing was that his back, the monk's robe was supported by seven bulges, and the demon dragon could be seen swimming in it.
"It's bad!" The old doctor from Yaowang Temple pinched the Yujing bottle: "The seven emotions are in the marrow, this is a sign of being possessed by the devil!"
"After all, I am too young to fight against the inner demons of seven emotions and six desires. I can pass one level and have already been qualified to enter the sect. There are very few people who pass the three levels."
During the fifth breath, the "See" demon dragon launched a general attack. This amber monster drilled directly into Yu Jingrui's dantian, dyeing the Daluo Master Dao Fruit into a turbid dark gold color.
It transformed into the Bodhi tree in Jinshan Temple, but the treetops were hung with the remaining pages of the "Great Zhou Lingzhi Tu"; it also transformed into the scene of the Mahayana Sutra, but the opponent's mouth was full of secular obsessions such as "three thousand years of mortgage loan".
"What is Buddha?" The voice of the inner demon completely coincided with Yu Jingrui, "It's just an excuse for you to escape from reality!" He suddenly burst into black and golden flames, and the lotus platform under his feet instantly corroded into a pile of skeletons.
Before debating with Xiao Yu'er, Master Nian Tong, who had closed his eyes and meditated, suddenly opened his eyes: "He wants to kill the Taoist foundation!"
But before taking action, even more terrifying changes occurred - the two demon dragons, "sad" and "fear", rushing into the sky spirit, actually dragging Yu Jingrui's spiritual consciousness into the magical realm of the heart.
......
In the illusion, there is a scene of Luo Tian’s destruction of the universe. Yu Jingrui saw himself standing at the end of time and space, behind him were the broken corpses of Xiang Chen, Di Xin and other partners.
