Chapter 838: Shakyamuni

"who are you?"
Lu Chen looked at the young monk with a look of surprise on his face.
Because, in this monk's body, Lu Chen could not feel the presence of any breath, as if it did not exist.
However, the young monk stood in front of him alive, but told him that it did exist.
This was beyond Lu Chen's expectation, and he was very surprised.
"Lu Chen, this is a body of thought power." Old Ancestor Lu Jie said suddenly.
"Ancestor, what is the body of mind?" Lu Chen asked hurriedly.
"Buddhism has ambitions, especially those who break through the realm of life and death, can make some big aspirations, and this big aspiration can be transformed into the power of aspiration, and the power of the aspiration can unite the body of the mind."
Old ancestor Lu Jie explained: "He should be dead long ago. No, he is still alive, but he is out of this world."
"Ancestor, what do you mean is that his true body has already been broken into the void, flying to the upper realm?" Lu Chen asked in shock.
"Yes, he is very strong, Lu Chen, you have to be careful." Old Ancestor Lu Jie said.
Lu Chen nodded when he heard the words, then bowed his hand to the young monk, and said, "Junior Lu Chen, I have seen the master, but haven't I asked the master's name?"
"The poor monk's name is Sakyamuni." The young monk folded his hands together.
"What? He said he was Shakyamuni? How could it be possible?" Before Lu Chen could speak, the ancestor Lu Jie yelled in surprise in his spiritual world, and kept chanting,'It really is. He didn't expect the legend to be true. ’
"Ancestor, what legend?"
Lu Chen looked at the young monk who claimed to be Shakyamuni in front of him, very calm, but he did not expect that the ancestor Lu Jie would appear so surprised, so he hurriedly asked.
"Old ancestor, let me tell you. This Shakyamuni was a monk of ancient Buddhism. His life can be said to be a myth. According to some ancient records, this person was born in the glory of Buddha. The statue of Buddha was guarded by the statue, and the swallow was able to walk. This immediately shocked Leiyin Temple. It was robbed by many Vajra and Arhats to be accepted as apprentices, but in the end he was rejected by Shakyamuni because he held the gift of discipleship. Many vajra arhats asked for advice and asked the powers of life and death in the world, and they were quickly called the Taoist monks."
"Later, when Shakyamuni was less than six years old, he stepped into the realm of three days. He passed the bodily calamity at the age of eighteen, and passed the divine calamity, broke the void, and ascended to the upper realm when he was less than 30. This spread throughout the Tenglong Continent at that time, and both the Monster Race and the Human Race were shocked. So at that time, some people said that he was the reincarnation of a god-man of the upper realm. Leiyin Temple even said that he was the Buddha of the upper realm who came to the mainland of Tenglong to promote the Dharma.
Old ancestor Lu Jie said in a shocked tone: "It's just ancestors that I thought all of this was fake, because I felt that there was no such character in the world, but I didn't expect it to be true."
Lu Chen was also shocked.
He thought that he was already very impressive when he was under thirty years of age when he cultivated to the early stage of the Heavenly Passing Realm. He didn't expect that compared with the Shakyamuni in front of him, it was simply the sand of the Milky Way, which was not worth mentioning.
At this moment, Lu Chen faced him with deep respect, and asked respectfully: "I don't know how the master can teach the younger generation?"
"Hehe, Lu Chen's donor is polite, and I can't talk about advice. The poor monk just has a few questions and wants to ask the donor." Shakyamuni said with a smile.
His smile is kind, and his brows are filled with kindness, showing a peaceful atmosphere, as if he really is a Buddha, making people unable to give birth to any thoughts of resistance.
"Master, please." Lu Chen said immediately.
"Can this world move?"
Suddenly, Sakyamuni's fingers were empty in all directions. In those four directions, the world was shaken, the wind and clouds fell, the mountains and rivers paled, which was frightening.
Lu Chen looked at him, frowned slightly, wanted to answer, but felt wrong, and answered without moving, nor felt right.
Therefore, he felt that the problem was not that simple. Otherwise, the Shakyamuni who was called the reincarnation of the Buddha would be too superficial.
This question has its deep meaning in it.
But what exactly is it?
Lu Chen faced Sakyamuni, fell silent, and looked at the changing world.
Suddenly, his heart moved, he looked up at Shakyamuni, and said, "Master, this world has not moved, but the hearts of people."
"The heart is moving?"
After hearing this, Shakyamuni was silent for a moment, and looked at Lu Chen, a little light flashed in his eyes.
"Yes, the world has not changed, but people's hearts are changing, and when people's hearts have changed, the world will naturally change. All intrigues, all wars and chaos, all struggles are in the hearts of the people."
"Between people, love begets hate, love begets hatred, all the good, evil, beautiful and ugly in the world, because of our thoughts, they become good, evil, beautiful and ugly. If our thoughts do not move, where is good? Evil, beautiful and ugly? This may be the Zen of the Buddhist language!"
Lu Chen nodded and said earnestly: "A thought moves, and the world changes."
"What you said is good, so a person's heart is moving, so every thought is moving, and the world changes. Life in the world is like being in thorns, the heart is not moving, the person is not moved, and the person is not hurt; if the heart is moved, the person is moved. It hurts the body and the bones, so there are all kinds of pain in the world."
Shakyamuni laughed heartily, his eyes filled with praise, and said: "I didn't expect that the donor, at a young age, would be able to say such a truth. Okay, the poor monk is asking you the second question. ."
"Master, please." Lu Chen said.
"What is this life? What is the next life?" Shakyamuni asked Lu Chen with piercing eyes.
"This life? The next life?" Lu Chen was stunned when he heard the words, remembering that the ancestor Lu Jie had just said that Sakyamuni was the first person in the ancient times, and no one from the human race or the monster race can compare with him.
Therefore, some people say that he is the reincarnation of the gods of the upper realm. Now he asks this question, is it because he is really the reincarnation of the gods?
But how can people have an afterlife?
In Lu Chen's heart, there is no concept of the afterlife, but now when Shakyamuni asked this question, he didn't know how to answer it carefully.
This is not only about whether they can pass the test, asking the elders of the Arhats of Leiyin Temple to take action to relieve the deadly poison in Ning Xiaochuan and Ming Pride. It also feels related to their own understanding of the way of cultivation.
This time, Lu Chen was silent longer.
But Shakyamuni didn't urge, but waited quietly.
He was like a kind elder, looking at Lu Chen's junior, hoping that he could surprise himself.
Lu Chen remembered the first hurdle he had just gone through, the emotions and desires, then suddenly raised his head and said:
"Everything is illusory!"
As soon as this remark came out, the starry sky in all directions changed, among which were the mountains, rivers, sun and moon, and mountains, rivers, and trees disappeared completely.
As if as Lu Chen said, everything is illusory!
"All illusory?"
Shakyamuni was completely stunned.
He stood motionless under the void, like a sculpture.
After a while, he raised his head, looked at the illusory void in the four directions, and then said: "It turns out that the poor monk is too persistent. There is no present, there is no present, the third life has the law, no It's good."
After uttering this verse, Shakyamuni bowed solemnly to Lu Chen and said, "Donor Lu Chen, thank you for helping the poor monk. Now the poor monk will ask you one last question."
"What is me?"
After asking this, Shakyamuni looked at Lu Chen and said nothing.
Lu Chen frowned slightly, this question was too unpredictable.
Moreover, he knew that what Shakyamuni wanted was an unusual answer.
"The questions asked by the monk are too obscure. Each question contains the understanding and feelings of the cultivator about the cultivation way. Even the ancestor, I am afraid I can't answer it."
Old ancestor Lu Jie shook his head and said, "However, Lu Chen, today you have made ancestors admire me. I hope you can give this monk a perfect answer."
"Master, the younger generation knows that there is a saying in Buddhism, called one flower, one world, one Buddha as the Tathagata, today you ask the younger generation what is me? Then the younger generation tells the senior that I am the sky, I am the earth, I am the world, the sky is the world, and I alone dominate. ."
Lu Chen suddenly changed his expression, revealing a kind of domineering, and he said with solemn pride: "The younger generation does not know what the master wants, but this is the younger generation's answer."
"I am for the world? The sky is the world, but I dominate?"
When Shakyamuni heard Lu Chen's words, he fell silent and said a few words, sometimes frowning, sometimes confused, sometimes clear, as if he had fallen into chaos.
After a while, he looked at Lu Chen and said, "Donor Lu Chen, the poor monk has a slightly different view from you on this issue, but the poor monk doesn’t think you are wrong, because you are not in my buddhism. People, there is no thought of me who will go to if I don’t go to hell."
"Master, do you mean that the junior passed the test?" Lu Chen asked excitedly.
"Yes, although your answer does not conform to the concept of the poor monk, the poor monk decided to give you a chance." Shakyamuni nodded and said with a smile,'Lu Chen, you help the poor monk, don’t you poor monk. If you have nothing else to repay you, I will give it to you with this power of thought. If you can come to the upper realm in the future, you can come to the Buddha country to find me. ’
"Buddha country?"
Lu Chen was taken aback for a moment, but saw that Sakyamuni suddenly turned into a light spot, blending into the center of his eyebrows.
In his body, he immediately conveyed an extremely powerful and quintessential force, flawless and unsullied, with a charm that encompasses all things and is compassionate.
At this moment, Lu Chen felt that his whole person was sublimated.
"In the mid-term of the Heavenly Pass?"
Lu Chen was startled.
He didn't expect that he would actually break through the middle stage of the Heavenly Passing Realm.
This is really a great opportunity!
"Thank you, Master, if the younger generation can ascend to the upper realm, they will visit you in the Buddha country." Lu Chen arched his hands towards the vast void.
Then, Lu Chen asked, "Ancestor, where is the Buddha Kingdom?"
"This, I don't know the ancestors, but I found some information about the upper realm from some ancient books. It seems that the upper realm is an extremely vast world. According to the legend, there is no end, and it is countless times larger than the Tamron Continent. "The ancestor Lu Jie said.
Lu Chen shook his head when he heard the words, and said, "Forget it, now I have not broken through the life and death realm, and I have not yet reached the upper realm. I don't know when I will go. I don't want this first, or go down first, presumably they are already waiting. Got it."
After saying this, Lu Chen walked outside the ancient tower.
"Huh!"
The next moment, he appeared outside the ancient tower.
"Masters?"
Seeing Fayuan and the gazes of the monks such as Chen Chen, Lu Chen was startled, and smiled bitterly in his heart. Didn't he just pass the three levels? Is it necessary?
But seeing all the monks staring at Lu Chen dumbfounded, some monks were even stunned on the spot, shaking their heads with an unbelievable appearance.
"Lu Yu donor, you, you really shocked the poor monks and others." Fayuan said with a look of surprise.
"Yes, these three hurdles were set up by my sages from Leiyin Temple. Since the ancient times, it has been more than 100,000 years and no one has broken through." Letong said in shock.
