I Signed in at Shaolin for Ten Thousand Years

Chapter 308: Pure White Lotus

Pure White Lotus and Tathagata Golden Bowl!

These two instruments, even Su Cheng in the previous life, were vaguely heard.

For example, the White Lotus of the Pure World will remind people a lot. Judging from the classics or sect legends, the White Lotus of the Pure World is often associated with the "Inanimate Madonna".

This is the case with the Lotus Sect!

The lotus religion, or "white lotus religion", is based on the white lotus as a sacred object, and believes that the birthless mother was born from the white lotus.

From the perspective of the novel, it is inevitable that people will think of the "Twelve Stage Purifying White Lotus" in the novels. However, this is actually not scientific.

Because since ancient times, China has taken nine as its pole.

And the lotus is the same.

Although the lotus is divided into grades, no matter it is Taoist or Buddhism, they all respect the "Nine-Rank Lotus". There is no such thing as "twelve products" at all.

Taoism has at most "nine-color lotus seal" and "nine-class lotus", and there is never a "twelve lotus seal".

At the same time, it is the term "nine-step lotus", probably after the birth of the old man, he will walk nine steps and grow lotus step by step, pointing to the sky with his left finger, and "I am the only one in the sky and the earth" with the right finger.

Of course, this statement is very similar to the "seven-step birth lotus" in which Sakyamuni was born. However, unlike Sakyamuni’s statement, the former comes from the classics, and the latter is not recorded in the Buddhist scriptures, and there is no allusion to the "seven steps of the lotus".

From the "Lao Zi Hua Hu Jing", Sakyamuni is considered to be the incarnation or disciple of Taishang Laojun. It can be seen that the latter has similar statements, but it is normal.

Of course, although Su Cheng is a Buddhism, in general, the orthodox Buddhism should resist the sayings in Lao Zi Hua Hu Jing.

But I have to admit that at the beginning of Buddhism’s birth, Buddhism recognized the saying that "Laozi transforms Hu", perhaps to stabilize the footsteps of preaching, whatever other reasons, but "Laozi’s Hu Jing" was earlier Buddhism and Taoism recognize this as a fact.

Therefore, from the point of view of Liantiandao, "Lao Zi Hua Hu Jing" has a basis.

Buddhism is even simpler and more straightforward. According to the Pure Land School, the so-called Nine Stages are for those who have completed their cultivation to go to the Western Paradise after their death. They sit on the lotus pedestal. Because of the different levels of practice before life, there are nine lotus platforms on the lotus platform. The difference is that the Nine-Rank Lotus Terrace is the highest.

The nine products are: King Kong Terrace, Zijin Terrace, Golden Lotus, Lotus Terrace, Middle Grade Xiasheng Stage, Qibaolianhua, Baolianhua, Lotus, and Jinlianhua.

In other words, nine products do not mean that the lotus has nine petals, but that there are nine kinds of lotus. The "Nine Stages Connecting Taiwan" where the Buddha sits is actually "Golden Lotus". And the twelfth-grade lotus platform in the novels... there is no such thing at all.

Of course, the twelfth-grade lotus platform is actually not from a prehistoric novel, but from "The Romance of the Gods".

In the Romance of Conferring the Gods, during the battle of the Shang Dynasty, a mosquito man was captured by a quasi-sage, one of the two sages in the West.

The lead man put the mosquito man in a bag and gave it to Bai Lian boy to take care of it. However, because Bailian Boy did not observe the mosquito-passenger for a while, the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit, one of the four major disciples of the interception, was swallowed up by the mosquito-passenger.

After the mosquito person snorted the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit, he flew to the Western Paradise to sip the golden lotus of the twelfth-grade meritorious virtue of Zhenjiao Lingbao which is taught by the West. The twelfth-rank golden lotus was fully consumed by the mosquito-path people, which caused the twelfth-rank golden lotus to drop, and it turned into the ninth-rank golden lotus. Later, the second master of the West broke through the Ten Thousand Immortal Formation and returned before being able to take it back.

However, this statement is obviously unreliable. There are many contradictions in "Feng Shen Yan Yi". You can believe some of them, but you can't believe them all.

But in any case, Su Cheng learned from Buddhist scriptures that one of the nine symbols of lotus Buddhism, in Taoism, also means that practitioners have achieved great significance in the five turbid and evil worlds.

This "Pure World White Lotus" is definitely a very powerful magic weapon!

"Check the introduction and extract the Jingshi Bailian!"

【Jing Shi Bai Lian: It is the most precious treasure of the Virgin Mary of Lishan, and contains the laws of Taoism and has infinite magical effects. 】

As the introduction appeared, in the void, a white lotus slowly emerged in front of Su Cheng's eyes.

"Buzz..."

It seemed to be trembling in the void, this white lotus could be called "white jade flawless", and it appeared in front of Su Cheng's eyes, and it looked as if it were a pink lady.

And the petals of this lotus flower are as many as ten thousand petals, and they are extremely clean, making people want to touch them, but they dare not play with it.

The lotus flower can be rotated by Su Cheng's mind at any time, or it can grow bigger or smaller, or change for no reason. It is extremely impressive.

"This is the Jingshi White Lotus, with so many petals..."

Su Cheng was surprised, and he rang out what was said in "Great Wisdom".

It is said in "The Theory of Great Wisdom" that there are three kinds of lotus flowers: human flowers, which have more than ten leaves. Smallpox, with shutters. Bodhisattva flowers have thousands of leaves.

And this "clean world white lotus" is full of leaves! And it contains pure light color, what does this mean?

Could it be that this pure white lotus turned out to be a "Buddha flower" that surpasses the Bodhisattva flower?

If so, I am afraid that the value of this pure white lotus is far above that of Jinling Baozhu and Luoshu!

Judging from the introduction, this lotus flower is the most precious treasure of the "Mother of Lishan".

How could the difference be so huge?

Su Cheng thought for a while, then put away the Purifying White Lotus, and continued to order: "Check the introduction of the Tathagata Golden Bowl, and extract it!"

[Tathagata Golden Bowl: A magical tool used when the Tathagata Tathagata becomes a Buddha, which can collect everything and can exert a stronger power according to the strength of the user. 】

"Sure enough, it really is the Tathagata Golden Bowl..."

Su Cheng couldn't help but confirm. It seemed that this golden bowl was much stronger than the one before him. It is not named with a "Tathagata", but a real Tathagata golden bowl!

However, the Tathagata...

Su Cheng paused, watching a plain gilded bowl appeared in front of him, and said nothing.

This bowl is obviously of the same level as the "Golden Lingbao Building", but it is still incomparable with Jingshi Bailian.

Luoshu is also at the same level as the two.

So why is there a sign-in instrument that is significantly higher than the other three levels in the same place?

Could it be...

Su Cheng thought carefully.

According to the "Feng Shen Yanyi", the Golden Spirit, the Turtle Spirit, the Wudang Madonna and the Taobao Taoist are the four major disciples.

Although there are many contradictions in "Fengshen Yanyi", there are similar statements in books such as "Jianfeng Chunqiu" and "Shenxian Tongjian".

In other words, this statement is still possible!

If this is the dojo of Lingbao Tianzun, then the four treasures he has obtained.

The Jinling Baozhu is a magic weapon of the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit. The Luoshu comes from the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit. The Tathagata Golden Bowl is obviously from the Taoist priest. Then, "Pure World White Lotus" should come from "Mr. Wudang".

And indeed, from the "Xi Yang Ji" and "The Scriptures of Luo Jiao", we can see that the "ruling the world without being an old mother" is the Madonna of Lishan, that is, the ancestor of Luo Jiao, the "no birth mother".

She owns the Pure World White Lotus, which is naturally very normal.

But these are not the key points. The point is that if the four major disciples of the "Fengshen Yanyi" say, except for the Taobao Taoist who was subdued by the Taishang Laojun, there is only one person who should not be a Virgin from the battle of the Conferred God. Escape and survive!
