Chapter 1068: Hongjun Mission
Master Huineng is no longer in the Three Realms. The Monkey King originally wanted to hear Master Huineng talk about his ideas, but he couldn't find him. He was wondering, thinking that Master Huineng was extremely disappointed and left the Western teachings? In theory, Master Huineng is a monk with great wisdom and cannot give up easily.
If he gave up easily, Master Huineng would not have been able to create Zen Buddhism. After he obtained his master's mantle, he was chased by his fellow disciples. He had been in the mountains for more than ten years before he came out to speak about Buddha. If he gave up, there would be countless opportunities to give up in the past ten years, and he could get married and have children, but he did not give up.
Although the current situation of Western religion is more complicated than when he founded Zen Buddhism, he will definitely not give up.
The Great Sage of Monkey King felt a little strange. Did something happen to Master Huineng? So the Great Sage quietly contacted Yunyao because he did not believe in the monks of Western religion.
The Great Sage knew very well that Western Buddhism did not like Huineng's proposals and wanted him to get out. Huineng's disappearance was likely to be a monk's attack, so he had to ask people outside the Western Buddhism for help. The Great Sage thought about it and found that the Hundred Flowers God could help. He would not feel alienated after Yun Yao became a saint. He was like a scoundrel in front of Tathagata back then, so he would not treat the saints differently.
"Are you here in the Hundred Flowers God?" The Great Sage quietly left his soul and came to Penglai Island.
"Great Sage, please come in." Yun Yao must be there.
The Great Sage didn't need Nuannuan to lead the way, and directly passed through the wall to find Yun Yao who was practicing. She is integrating the dictionary to prepare for understanding the way of heaven, that is, to comprehend the small world, the middle world, and the world, and to summarize some laws of the evolution of the way of heaven. Using these rules as dictionaries, then go to the way of heaven to understand.
As soon as the Great Sage entered the door, he bowed and said, "Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to the God of Flowers for being promoted to saints. It would be a pity if I didn't drink a few drinks." When I arrived at the Zhu Nv's house, I must have to eat and drink freely, otherwise wouldn't it be in vain?
Although it was to find Huineng, the Great Sage was not in a hurry at all.
"We should indeed drink and eat meat." Yun Yao said, "Good wine and good food, please be full." Wave your hand, and the table of good wine and good food changed out, with the fragrance.
The Great Sage laughed and knew that the Flower God would never lack food. When he saw the peaches and fruits of life on the dining table, his saliva was flowing out. A mouthful of fairy wine and flesh was the taste of a god. He recited scriptures all day long, and it was not a good time for those days.
"Fairy of Flowers, let's eat together." said the Great Sage.
Yunyao drank some wine and asked, "Is there something wrong with the Great Sage coming from afar?" She didn't think the Great Sage was here for dinner.
"It's really something." The Great Sage said while eating: "Do you know Huineng Buddha?"
"I know." Yun Yao certainly knew Fahai's master, the founder of Zen Buddhism, the initiator of the sudden enlightenment, the author of "There is no tree in Bodhi, and the mirror is not a platform. There is nothing in it, where is the dust contaminated?"
"He disappeared from Western Buddhism. Although his Buddhism is not popular in Western Buddhism, I think he will not disappear for no reason, so I suspect he may have been arrested by Western teachings. Lao Sun still likes him very much, so he wants to ask someone to find him. If the people of Western Buddhism believe it, I will come to you." said the Great Sage.
"So that's it, then I'll look for it." It's still simple to find someone, at least Yun Yao thought so. However, when she started looking, she found that Huineng had no breath like the leader of Tongtian.
His brows frowned, what's going on? Yunyao tried hard to cast the spell, but still couldn't find it.
The Great Sage also found that Yunyao's expression was wrong and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong? Has he already encountered an unexpected situation?"
Yunyao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's not that I'm in an accident, but that I can't find him. This is the second time. I wanted to find the leader of Tongtian before, but I couldn't find it. I didn't find it all over the three realms. The same is true for Huineng. I just sensed the three realms, but I didn't find any breath. It's really weird."
The Great Sage also knew that the saint had not found someone and said that he could not find it. If he couldn't find it, there would definitely be something abnormal. He couldn't help but stop eating and said, "Actually, I feel that the situation is a bit strange recently. There seems to be something different in the three realms, but I can't say it specifically."
"It's true. There have been strange things in recent times. Not only does the number of disasters surge, but there are still many changes that even the saints cannot detect are happening quietly." Yunyao was helpless.
"Isn't the saints helpless?"
"The saint is the ultimate 'existence', and his understanding of the way of heaven is just half guessing." The saint can make foolproof deductions through the information that has appeared, but if it is something new to the way of heaven, the saint cannot fully know it.
The Great Sage didn't understand it very much, but he only knew that the current situation was still a bit subtle. "What did Master Huineng encounter?" He was very confused.
"Has Master Huineng been having something strange recently?" Yunyao asked.
The Great Sage talked about Master Huineng’s recent experience in Western Buddhism and told her that Master’s life was not easy. He proposed that cultivating immortality does not mean practicing Buddhism. He hoped that monks would give up their obsessions, not snatch resources, and pursue the paradise in their hearts. Only when they have paradise in their hearts can the paradise become paradise. If there is no paradise in their hearts, then the paradise is nothing more than hell.
Anxiety is hell, anxiety will cause more anxiety, and in the end, even the Pure Land will be infected into hell. Therefore, Huineng hopes that everyone will first seek the inner paradise. There is no inner paradise in the heart, and it is useless to cultivate anything.
It is not too late to become an enlightened person first and then cultivate immortals. If you do not become an enlightened person, you just kill people and grab treasures for the sake of cultivating immortals. This is not possible.
Yunyao couldn't help but admire this junior. Master Huineng is only half of Yunyao's age, only one thousand years old, and belongs to the new generation. His philosophy is very alternative, but logically no problem.
This is the inability to be separated from the inner and practice. If you pursue the inner and first, you will easily be killed by the enemy. If you only pursue practice, you will be full of anxiety, so you still have to be the middle way and find a balance between the inner and practice. Master Huineng has great wisdom, but most people can't do it.
After the Great Sage finished speaking, he added his opinion and said, "It's nothing strange. Although everyone doesn't like these Buddhist teachings, they just ignore them. There is nothing particularly strange about it."
Yunyao didn't think there was anything strange. Huineng just put forward some propositions that did not conform to the mainstream Western sects, and it should not be a reason for his disappearance. And does his disappearance have anything to do with the disappearance of the Tongtian sect leader? If it is related, then why?
In short, Yunyao cannot see the missing relationship between the two, and Huineng and Tongtian Sect Master seem to have no similarities. Even so, the ominous feeling in his heart is lingering, and something must have happened.
The Great Sage also vaguely felt this.
At this moment, the leader of Tongtian and Huineng were indeed together. They formed a team to complete the mission of the ancestor Hongjun. The leader of Tongtian did not like Huineng, but for this mission, he hoped that Huineng would succeed first, rather than wait for him to take action. If possible, the leader of Tongtian only wanted to reject this mission, but unfortunately he was the loser of the Battle of the Gods, so he could only do this kind of dirty work.
