The two hundred and forty-sixth chapter, the tenth Buddha, reborn in the sanctuary
"Another saint has fallen. en8."
Twilight drums and morning bells, ancient Buddhist lanterns.
A touch of incense ashes fell into the dust, the deep bell rang again, and the heartbeat trembled in the air.
The young man kneeling in front of the Buddha statue recited the Buddha's name with his hands clasped together and sighed, "The sage is great."
The voice came from nowhere: "Born for the continuation of the Dao lineage, and died for stealing the sky, how do you know whether it is a great virtue or a loss of virtue?"
"Disciple doesn't know." The young man put down his hand and turned the rosary gently. The slight collision sound was clearly heard in the silent meditation room.
"Is itβ¦β¦"
The young man's eyes were clear and his expression was warm. He looked up at the Buddha statue and asked, "Does the sage also feel that what he did is wrong?"
The voice of the sage of Buddhism and Taoism carried the same compassion as always: "What I have done in my life is for practitioners, benevolence and righteousness are exhausted, but in terms of heaven, death cannot be redeemed. What I have gained is in my heart, but I want to have no regrets."
"Disciple knows." The young man lowered his eyes again and fiddled with the rosary, "It's a pity that the disciple's mind is mediocre, and he can't be like a saint without regrets."
There was a sudden smile in the voice of the sage of Buddhism and Taoism, he said: "If you have a mediocre xinxing, then the world's cultivators don't know how many people have a good xinxing. Speaking of which... Yunqing is a bad person, but he looks at people. Still excellent."
Jian Chen's calm and indifferent expression was a little unbearable, and he said bluntly, "This disciple is frightened."
"Just a few compliments will make you panic. How can you rest assured that you will take over Buddhism and Taoism in the future?" Jian Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but when he heard the words "taking over the Buddha's way", he raised it again. If the sage lived well, it would not be his turn to take over the Buddha's way, unless...
"Are you going to fight or not?"
In just a few days, the sun, moon and stars all fell, the big 6 shattered into islands, and the sea was frozen into 6 places. This earth-shaking change is seen by every cultivator, and almost everyone knows that this is caused by the fall of the saint, and Jian Chen is no exception.
After he said this, he felt a little wrong: "Ghost Dao, Human Dao, and the one who just fell, the orthodoxy in the world has been eliminated, and it is reasonable to say that it is enough for the Divine Dao to come?"
In other words, the remaining saints don't have to dedicate themselves...?
"Not enough." A familiar voice came from behind the swordsman.
He turned around and saw Yun Qing, who he hadn't seen for many years, at a glance. Time seemed to stand still on her. From her appearance to her breath, she hadn't changed at all. en8. White clothes and bare feet, holding the mirror in both hands, drooping eyes, smiling warmly.
Yun Qing walked up to him, sat down on the other futon cross-legged, and said, "It's just three Taoist traditions, and it's still a long way from complementing Taoist chess."

Jian Chen felt as if he had passed away. He couldn't believe that this person who he hadn't seen for a hundred years appeared in front of him like this, and he was still meditating very calmly.
The Buddhist and Taoist saints seemed to have long known that she would come, and took her words and asked, "Three Taoist traditions? More than that..."
"There is also a son of Huang Quan, who just got it." Yun Qing smiled, "Speaking of... I just took the Dao Seed from Huang Quan, and I came to Guiling Temple without stopping. How did you calculate it?"
"I'm talking about Shinto." The Buddhist and Taoist sage said, and suddenly said to the swordsman, "You should step back first."
Jian Chen felt a slight tremor in his heart, bowed to the two of them separately, and left the meditation room. There are some things that he really shouldn't know. The more he knows, the more he has to bear, and he doesn't have the ability to bear such a burden, so he might as well know less. It's just that Yun Qing's words kept lingering in his mind, and he couldn't help but guess that if the three Dao Lineages were not enough, then Yun Qing's purpose for coming to Guiling Temple this time seemed to be obvious.
In the meditation room, only Yunqing was left, and there was a silent Buddha statue.
"Many thanks to the sage for teaching the swordsman over the years." Yun Qing said politely, "I never thought that with his aptitude, he would be able to get along in a hundred years."
"No need to thank you, the swordsman happened to be born in the devil's way, so I'll just pass on the Heart Sutra of his death, but it's not a problem for me." The Buddhist and Taoist sage said indifferently. The Heart Sutra he created is the way of the Buddha and the Devil, and there is hardly anyone who inherits it in Guiling Temple. Yun Qing sent the swordsman to Guiling Temple as expected. The Buddhist and Taoist saints lacked an heir, and she lacked an inheritance suitable for the swordsman. The two just matched each other, and this transaction could be done.
There is a quick way to reincarnate in the Heart Sutra. Although it is difficult to reach the level of a Buddhist, Taoist, and sage, it is not impossible to combine Taoism within a hundred years.
Yun Qing seemed to have been waiting for his words for a long time, and immediately said: "Now that my mind is over, what is the saint's plan?"
The Buddhist and Taoist sage replied with a faint smile: "The four Taoist lineages of ghosts, humans, demons and gods are not enough, so I managed to take Huangquan, and Huangquan is not enough, so you came to me?"
"It's not enough to get into the Tao and see the world, so I try to break into the Tao, and it is not enough to steal the heaven, so I want to go against the sky and break my fate. The birth of all things is between the three words of 'dissatisfaction'." Yun Qing was still as quiet as water, she sighed, "Saint... I am too."
"Will the Dao of Heaven not be satisfied with its own strength?" asked the saint of Buddhism and Dao peacefully.
Yun Qing shook his head and smiled helplessly: "I don't know, the Dao of Heaven is not a living being, it probably doesn't have such emotions."
"It's really rare, and there are times when you don't know." The Buddhist and Taoist saints said with emotion, "I've been thinking all the time, are you as omniscient and omnipotent as the way of heaven?"
Yunqing still shook his head: "Saint, the Tao of Heaven is not omniscient and omnipotent. If so, it would not have allowed the mortal beings to obtain Tao seeds at the beginning, and it would not have allowed the development of the Taoist world to endanger itself."
"Yeah, why does it allow the Dao seed to spread?" The voice of the Buddhist and Taoist saints became condensed a little bit, and finally even had a hint of questioning, "The great perfection at the beginning...why was it broken?"
This is a question no one has ever answered, but it has always been hidden in the minds of practitioners - where did the apocalypse come from? Where did the first seed come from?
"Saint, I have already said that, I am not an omniscient person." Yun Qing closed his eyes, just dropped the sentence lightly, and also did not answer.
"At least know more than the people of the world." The Buddhist and Taoist saints didn't seem to care much, he said, "Speaking of which, when did you live? The ancient era of gods and demons, or the earlier ancient and wild era? Even... ...before the apocalypse?"
Yun Qing selectively avoided the following question: "Even if I know more, it won't go anywhere. Because the knowledge in the cultivating world is passed down and gradually progressive, and I am isolated."
"At least I have experienced the era of gods and demons. I feel that Zhong Guanyuan has always wanted to avoid you, but he has to observe you secretly. Did you know him before?" The sage of Buddhism and Taoism felt that her answer was very vague, so she emphasized again own problems. That day, Zhong Guanyuan went to several holy places to take the Qingdi sacrificial utensils. He hurry up and hurry up just to get ahead of Yunqing. This thought is too obvious, and Buddhist and Taoist saints can't ignore it if they want to.
Yun Qing was stunned: "I don't know."
This sentence "I don't know" is much more straightforward than the previous contrived answers, which surprised the sages of Buddhism and Taoism: "...That's it, but it is true, compared to the Five Emperors, Wenqu, the god of history, is also considered. Must not be important."
The sages of Buddhism and Taoism said that "it's not very important compared to the Five Emperors", but in fact the god Wenqu was really important in ancient times. After all, it was an era when even written records were not perfect, and a single mural was enough to be called a precious historical material. And the gods who know all the historical materials of that year and are in charge of all the words and books can be said to be the witnesses and recorders of history. The most important thing is that many cultivators believe that he has recorded what happened before the fall of Qing Emperor, and also knows what secrets there are in several calamities.
"Wenqu..." Yun Qing recited the divine name again, and shook his head seriously, "I really don't know."
The sage of Buddhism and Taoism was silent for a while, and said, "Forget it, that's it."
In fact, Yun Qing's answer has already admitted that she has experienced that era. As for the cultivators of the ancient gods and demons era, Huang Quan lived and died, Gongsun Yuhua struggled for a long time and died, and the gods were still far away in the heavenly palace, waiting to come back. So many life and death chaos, it can be said that there are few left. Even if the Buddhist and Taoist saints continue to ask questions, she still likes to answer how she likes to answer, anyway, there is no way to obtain evidence.
Hearing this, Yun Qing stood up and stood in front of the Buddha statue. He said, "Is the saint ready to die? Do you need me to prepare a golden bottle for you?"
The golden bottle is to prepare for the successor of Guiling Temple. Yunqing said that Buddhist and Taoist saints can be reincarnated on the soul boy after the death of the Heart Sutra, and then use the method of signing the golden bottle to select their reincarnated soul boy and take over the overall situation of Guiling Temple again.
But the sages of Buddhism and Taoism just sighed: "There is no need to prepare, let the swordsman succeed him."
Yun Qing raised her head to look at the Buddha statue. The peaceful and compassionate face was hidden in the shadow of the Buddhist altar, and only a vague outline could be glimpsed. She frowned and asked, "What does the saint mean?"
"Reincarnated in the ninth life, plus this life was originally the tenth life, so it is called the tenth Buddha. And nine is the limit of the number, the tenth rebirth... Either you will achieve the Great Perfection, or you can only return to the heavens. already."
This is completely different from what the sage of Buddhism and Taoism explained to her at the beginning. When Yunqing mixed into Guiling Temple to steal the idea of ββββthe idea of ββββthe emptiness of the lotus heart, the sage of Buddhism and Taoism was not a sage of Buddhism and Taoism, but Jue Luan. At that time, Jue Luan told her in the stupa that she was reborn in the ninth life, plus her own life, it was counted as the tenth life. This "ten" had already broken through the "extreme number" of nine, so it could be The way of heaven is the proof of perfection."
Now it seems that the "nine" in the ninth rebirth is the extreme number, and one has to reincarnate one more time to achieve the Great Perfection.
The formation of the Daogan is a small perfection, and the maturity of the Daogan is a great perfection. From ancient times to the present, only Biluohuangquan has achieved the great perfection. Now is on the eve of the great catastrophe, disasters are frequent, and the punishment of heaven may come at any time. At this juncture, trying to achieve great perfection is mostly hopeless.
Even, in Yunqing's view, what Biluo Huangquan has proved cannot be regarded as "Great Perfection". Because the Dao of Heaven is inherently incomplete, the matter of "Consummation" cannot be said from the Dao of Heaven.
Yun Qing was a little puzzled: "The sage's practice is special. Even if you give up the dao fruit and power, you can reincarnate with memories. Why take the risk?"
The sage of Buddhism and Taoism said calmly: "How long have you lived?"
Yun Qing was silent.
The sage of Buddhism and Taoism sighed: "I remember telling you a long time ago that from the first generation of Guiling Temple to the end of the last generation, I am every one of them, but not any one of them.Countless memories are linked together, and the years of countless people are overlapped and piled up in the soul. This is not a very pleasant thing. If I achieve Great Perfection, then I can become 'I'.God, it's just to let those lives that should have ended a long time ago return to their original places, and give this world a little more hope."
Yun Qing was speechless, and could only say goodbye with the words that the cultivators had said countless times.
"Saint Dade."
The fire in the meditation room flickered for the last time, and then drowned in the night, never rising again.
