Chapter 416 Is there any Buddhist Dharma that does not enter Nirvana?
After the initial dozens of breaths of fighting, even though the Six-Ring Mechanical City and Mo City had failed to accurately transmit the message in advance, the various backup plans of Da Xia hidden in the Taihang Mountains also noticed the changes and took action.

On a small hill not far from Baizhi Mountain, which was shrouded in boundless mirage, a shepherd boy suddenly patted the green cow under him and said, "Cow, let's go."

The green ox raised its hoof, and the clear air in the sky gathered into a road that leads to the sky. This road, like a peerless sword, reveals Baizhi Mountain from the small hill.

The milky white mirage all over the mountain seemed to have encountered an underwater vortex, spinning at the blade of the sharp sword formed by the gathering of pure air. Time and space were like a torn canvas, which would be pierced through by the sword in the next moment, connecting the two worlds inside and outside Baizhi Mountain.

But just before the canvas was about to be pierced, two towering white jade pillars formed a portal, supporting time and space, and once again blocking the inside and outside of time and space.

The shepherd boy slid down from the cow's back and stretched out his white and tender palms. The blue cow naturally lowered its head so that the hilt of the wooden sword hanging on its horns could reach the shepherd boy's palms.

"I lost a move in chess last time, so I came to ask for advice today."

The shepherd boy's eyes were full of innocence, penetrating the boundless mirage and seeing through the figure inside the towering white jade pillar.

The Phantom Priest was wearing a robe as long as the night sky, with silver hair hanging down. He looked at the shepherd boy with his phoenix eyes, then at the wooden sword beside the shepherd boy. After thinking for a while, he said, "It turned out to be you. I didn't expect you to be so cruel in order to defeat me!"

The shepherd boy drew out his wooden sword and said with a smile, "I am not being cruel. Life is like a dream. If I don't play with the world with a pure heart, how can I break the nightmare you put in my heart? I have to thank you for teaching me! I already have the answer to your question of whether to save a boatload of people or just one person. That is to kill you first!"

He spoke the cruelest words in the most innocent tone, but there was no fluctuation in his heart. This was the innocence and cruelty that only belonged to children.

Everyone knows about the Heavenly Master of Xuandu Mountain, and also knows about the siege of Priest Huan by the Heavenly Master of Xuandu Mountain and the chief preacher of Nananda Temple, but few people know the origin of this incident.

Three hundred years ago, during the chaos of the Five Kingdoms, when Taizu of Great Xia had not yet established his rule over the world, the country was prosperous. There was also a chosen son in Xuandu Mountain who had a very high talent for practicing Taoism. At the age of twenty, he saw celestial phenomena, and at the age of thirty, he mediated the destiny of mankind. He was about to enter the first-grade Daluo realm, but the gods stepped in to stop him, and the magic priest personally took action to set up a trap to break the Taoist heart of this Taoist genius.

At first everyone thought that this genius had fallen, but they didn't know that this peerless genius retained a trace of consciousness at the last moment, and found another way to transform into an innocent child, and forever remain in the mind of a four or five-year-old child. In order to avenge what happened that day!

The shepherd boy drew out the wooden sword and thrust it forward. There was not a trace of killing intent in his heart. He turned the meeting with his mortal enemy into a game. The sword was made naturally without any flaws inside or outside.

Priest Huan looked more solemn than ever. Since he called himself Huan, of course he was the best at moving people's minds. There were only a very few people in this world whose minds he could not shake, the most prominent of them were the Heavenly Master of Xuandu Mountain and the chief lecturer of Nananda Temple. Now there was another new person to be added.

At the same time, several other rays of light also erupted in their respective battlefields.

There were countless Zen sounds resounding through the clouds. Golden auspicious clouds held up the Eight Divisions of Dragons. The monks were in the underworld and shone their light on all directions. The turbid and rushing Yellow Spring surged up for no reason and collided with the golden auspicious clouds. The aftermath of the two formed flowing flames and floods, engulfing the earth. Above the Yellow Spring, there was a figure in a black robe standing. His exposed bones were white and sacred, neither alive nor dead, and had more Zen meaning than the Eight Divisions of Dragons.

The bone priest looked at the lecturer in front of him and said, "Master, why are you in such a hurry? I see that even though the Zhou family members practice Buddhism, they have the intention to destroy Buddhism. Together with the Lord of Daming Palace, they are really a great threat to Buddhism. Master, why don't you let me fight them first?"

As the bone priest finished speaking, the turbid water of the Yellow Spring suddenly became clear, and the souls of all living beings flowed in the Yellow Spring, demonstrating the cycle of life and death, and the past and future lives. In this process, the secrets of heaven were revealed, revealing all kinds of possibilities for the future, as well as the wailing sounds of countless monks.

The chief lecturer fiddled with the rosary in his hand. He knew that the bone priest was trying to sow discord, but he had to admit that this was a possibility in the future. If Zhou Tieyi and the Lord of Daming Palace gained power, then the scene before him would become a reality.

His fingers that were moving the rosary stopped, and the next moment, Tianlong chanted, and the terrifying sound waves rolled up endless waves above Huangquan, not only destroying the possibilities of the future, but also rolling up the Bone Priest, trying to roll him into the bottom of the river as well.

The Bone Priest stretched out his hand, and invisible power formed a wall that blocked the sky and the sun, blocking the surging Yellow Springs tide. He looked at the head of the lecture hall, "What? The head of the lecture hall is also going to do something unwise like trying to take advantage of others' misfortune?"

The head monk who was giving lectures had a calm expression. "Your deception is far inferior to that of the illusionary priest. It is better not to show off your knowledge before an expert. Let me ask you, will the Buddha ever reach nirvana?"

The Bone Priest also knew that it was difficult to determine the superiority of the two in terms of strength. Only by winning the battle of mind and spirit could he influence the outcome of the battle. Naturally, he answered without hesitation, "Hasn't the Buddha you believe in already passed away?"

The chief lecturer nodded and said, "Since the Buddha will die, then the Dharma and the monks will also die. The Dharma is the cause and the Dharma is the cause. How can we force it? If the people of the world no longer need the Dharma at that time, then it will be the time for the Dharma to flourish!"

The voice of the chief lecturer became transparent inside and out in the clear light, with only a layer of outline left. The lotus petal of emptiness in Zhou Tieyi's hand was obtained by smelting an entire layer of Buddha's kingdom with the fire of Buddha's nirvana, but it was only the size of a petal. At this time, the chief lecturer was already close to the emptiness of Buddhism!
All conditioned phenomena are like dreams and bubbles. In the eyes of the chief lecturer, Buddhism has long surpassed the concepts of the Three Jewels of Buddha, Buddhist scriptures and monks. It is merely the product of the gathering of causes and conditions and the wonderful existence of causal laws. Since there is a time to gather, there will be a time to disperse. If there is no time to gather again, then it has entered the wonderful realm of immortality. Why should we be angry? We should only feel supreme joy.

This is the emptiness of dependent origination!

······
Inside the Baizhi Mountain mine, after Zhou Tieyi said "I have the desire to steal, but I don't have the courage to do it", Bodhisattva Shanmu smiled and was about to respond.

The next moment, the dragon-patterned wooden steel spear in Zhou Tieyi's hand shot towards the direction of Shanmu Bodhisattva like a sharp arrow.

The dragon pattern on the azure wooden steel spear no longer flowed like a phantom, but instantly became substantial, transforming into a roaring god with a human body and a dragon head!

This is exactly the corpse of the Huaihe and Qishui gods. After killing the two gods, Zhou Tieyi naturally melted the corpses of the two gods with the Red Emperor's flame and put them into the gun body of the wooden steel gun, giving this weapon more magical powers.

Endless water vapor gathered and formed two rushing rivers in the air. Shanmu's expression remained unchanged, "All phenomena are like dreams and bubbles! I have all kinds of wonderful appearances, how can the evil appearances in the world hurt me?"

The next moment, the rushing river directly penetrated Shanmu's body, and there was no contact between the two at all!
Illusion?

Zhou Tieyi's gaze was fixed on Shanmu.

No, I have some power over [Mirage], and I also have the help of [Real Vision] which has greatly increased my magical power. It is understandable that I cannot see through the illusion cast by the Illusion Priest himself, but it is impossible that I cannot see through the illusion cast by any random person.

Thoughts quickly burst into and merged in Zhou Tieyi's mind. With the help of the will of heaven and earth, and Zhou Tieyi himself having mastered a large amount of information, he suddenly thought of a possibility.

Monk Zhi, a great master of wisdom!

According to the news brought back by Shenxiu, the Great Wisdom Root Realm is a Buddhist country that has been stripped of all the evil in the world and gathered with all the beauty.

Since all evil has been stripped away, there will naturally be no injury, pain, anger, hatred, or death, so there will be supreme joy and great freedom.

After thinking this through, Zhou Tieyi sneered, "Is there any Buddhist teaching in the world that does not lead to Nirvana?"

Shanmu, or Monk Zhi, originally wanted to respond with a few words to disturb Zhou Tieyi's mind and urge the people around him to take action, but the next moment, a huge wave rose in his calm and compassionate heart. The terrifying feeling of death and crisis was like a peerless beast, released from the cage in his heart, making the water of the Babao Lake in his heart turbid.

The sneer on Zhou Tieyi's face had long disappeared, turned into a decisive and cold expression. It is common sense to kill the nurse first in a team battle, not to mention that this hidden bald donkey also has a purification skill, so he cannot be let go!
He held a bow in one hand, and in this world, the ancestral qi of the five elements was like a phoenix flying in the sky. Its wings stirred the whole world and brought up colorful tassels. The will of heaven and earth was awakened and active at this moment because of the method of repairing the earth, allowing the phoenix soaring in the sky to land on Zhou Tieyi's left hand holding the bow.

On the torso that had transformed into a human body again, the five Taoist palaces became prominent again, making his entire body transcend the real time and space, as if it was at the other end of time and space, with a cold and murderous gaze hanging down from the end of heaven and earth.

In the Taoist Palace, the Five Emperors sat upright with their hands clasped. Ancient maxims suddenly sounded, as if they had crossed over from eternity to the present through the long river of history. The rules of heaven and earth rose and fell in the maxims, sacred and hazy, like the phoenix strings of a harp being plucked. The vibration of each string turned into an extremely mysterious dragon chapter, like little dragons, circling and dancing, and blending with the phoenix feathers hanging from heaven and earth!

The dragon and the phoenix gathered, the imperial bow appeared, and the invisible kingdom was spread out with Zhou Tieyi as the center, so as to dispel the endless mirage in the mine and reveal the current real situation.

The huge mine was now half-sunken in the darkness. Not far away, the full moon that was just orbiting over Baizhi Mountain was like a priceless treasure. The resentment of countless dead people had already passed through their dreams and turned into a lingering mud, half-dragging the moon downwards.

As the bright moon sank, the black sludge, carrying the resentment of the dead, continued to climb from the underworld to Zhou Tieyi's feet, which had condensed into a human form, forming countless pairs of hands that grabbed from the bottom up, dragging Zhou Tieyi himself down, just like the water ghosts in folk legends who were unwilling to die and wanted to drag the living to be buried with them.

Unless Zhou Tieyi is willing to give up the Mingyue system in his hand and hand it over to Shinto, if he gives up at this time, then it will not only be a moon phase that is lost. Zhou Tieyi has a hunch that if he lets go, Shinto will use the corresponding magical powers and use his concept of letting go to make him completely lose control of the entire Mingyue Taoist school.

Zhou Tieyi took a breath, and at this moment the maxims gathered by the Five Emperors were grand to the extreme, gathering into the greatest and most powerful roar. For a moment, the ultimate life force erupted with Zhou Tieyi as the center, and the five colors of blue, red, yellow, black and white rotated. The power of the mysterious earth veins surged up and turned into a dragon, holding up a five-colored lotus, sweeping away the countless hands that stretched out from the underworld, turning them into powder.

The next moment, he pulled the string with his right hand, and stars gathered in his palm, a total of seven, arranged in the shape of a bowl. Upon closer inspection, he saw that these stars were entangled with endless death energy, which was the death energy that the divine way had injected into Zhou Tieyi's body through the image of the bright moon!

Zhou Tieyi is no longer a body of flesh and blood, but a primitive world condensed by forty-two star prototypes and five Five Emperors' Taoist Palaces. In this primitive world, death is also a rule and can naturally be absorbed.

But this does not mean that he is not afraid of the resentment and death energy accumulated by tens of millions of miners in the Taihang Mountains for hundreds of years. The continuous injection of death energy will still interfere with the balance of life and death in Zhou Tieyi's body and cause his path to deviate, so he needs to use the method of separation to separate the excess death energy out of the body, and this separated death energy happens to be another killer move!
Life and death are separated by Zhou Tieyi, and the bow and arrow are used as carriers to build a perfect cross.

Absolute balance cannot be achieved in the outside world, but it can be born in the prototypes of stars created by Zhou Tieyi.

At this moment, the heaven and earth were silent, and everyone's eyes were drawn to the scene in front of them. Such a perfect balance was itself a superb illusion, a supreme method that only existed in theory. It was only shown to the world today, and naturally made everyone lose their mind for a moment, immersed in the unparalleled changes of the great way.

The star arrow in Zhou Tieyi's hand shot out, and the seven stars turned into an incomparable beam of light, dragging colorful arrow feathers of blue, red, white, black and yellow, sweeping up all the energy in this world.

Combat skills, Five Emperors Bow!

The moment he was targeted by the arrow, Bodhisattva Shanmu had already started to use defensive methods. He did not bother to hide his identity or his methods of dealing with Zhou Tieyi's Buddhist emptiness.

The golden Buddha light was like the rising morning light. In the light, green Bodhi trees rose from the ground, neither withered nor flourishing. Good men sat under the Bodhi trees, preaching the sutras or teaching the Dharma.

The clear water of the Eight Treasures Merit Pond cleanses and washes away the resentment in countless people's hearts and the evil consequences of the world, making all the beautiful things in the Buddha's kingdom not like worldly products, but absolute goodness and absolute beauty. There is no injury, disaster, or death, only supreme beauty.

The star arrow pierced through the kingdom of God, and seven primordial stars burst out with boundless death and life. Life and death were like two yin and yang fish connected head to tail, connecting life and death within the Buddha's kingdom, allowing the supreme joy that was trapped in silence to flow, allowing life to naturally connect to death, and rolling up the water of the Eight Treasures Pond within the Buddha's kingdom, making the clear pool water become turbid, and allowing all things that transcend the material world to return to reality.
