Shen Gongbao Great Sage Persuading Death Immortal

Chapter 388: All beings are equal, but not everyone is equal
"Are there any masters?"

Shen Gongbao took a deep breath and felt that everyone in the Heavenly Prison was a talented person.

"Dare to offend the order of heaven, and not be killed by the emperor, how can it be easy."

Wu Peng smiled calmly, pulled Shen Gongbao and said, "Come, come, come, we are all human. I will take you to pay homage to the mountain, so that you can be settled in the Heavenly Prison in the future."

"Senior, can you tell that I am a human?"

Shen Gongbao was shocked, he was now an Asura, the Styx Patriarch had blocked the secrets, even ordinary Daluo might not be able to see through him.

"I have studied the elixir of immortality, exhausted all the changes in my physical body, and explored the divine forms of all races, only then can I be resurrected from the dead and my corpse become spiritual."

Wu Peng said proudly: "As long as the true spirit's origin remains unchanged, no matter how many changes there are, it will not deviate from its origin."

Shen Gongbao's heart trembled, and he became more solemn. He felt a little uneasy about the person he would meet next.

The great wizard Peng Zu, an ancient powerful man who secretly researched the elixir of immortality, violated the taboos of reincarnation and went against the laws of heaven, is not even considered a powerful man in the Heavenly Prison. What kind of monster is imprisoned here?

Although the world of Tianlao prohibits fluctuations in vital energy, and is like the end of the law, comparable to Guixu, Wu Peng is an ancient wizard, a great body cultivator, and a descendant of the wizard god, so crossing mountains and rivers is no problem for him.

However, Shen Gongbao focused on cultivating immortality, but his attainments as a witch god lagged behind. After climbing over 100,000 immortal mountains and walking out of the wild land of poisonous insects, he felt a little tired.

Wu Peng glanced at him and immediately felt dissatisfied. The young people of the human race now have very poor physiques. They were not even qualified to be pawns in the war between wizards and liches back then. He could not help but sneer, "Whose bloodline did you inherit? You didn't even practice it a bit?"

"I am of the Jiang family, but I have been away from home for many years, searching for the way and practicing breathing." Shen Gongbao smiled and said, "I am not a great wizard, I am just a Qi practitioner."

"The Taoism of the old Taoist priest in the wild mountains and wild ridges is not worthy of being compared with the Taoism of Pangu, the authentic and great witch."

Wu Peng said indignantly: "The invincibility of the physical body is the foundation. It is precisely because of immortality that the Emperor of Heaven can't do anything to great witches like us, so there are prisoners in the Heavenly Prison."

"My Pangu is authentic!"

Shen Gongbao suddenly shuddered and looked up at the sky. He heaved a sigh of relief when he found that no jade ruyi was flying from the sky. At the same time, he became more solemn. This sky prison was so mysterious that it could even block the perception of the Great Celestial Venerable.

As Wu Peng was talking, a trace of suspicion arose in his heart. This kid hadn't even cultivated the immortality of his physical body or the immortality of the demon god, yet he dared to cause trouble in the Lingxiao Palace. There was a high probability that he was tricking him.

But if he had not caused trouble in Heaven and lost the face of the Emperor of Heaven, how could he have been imprisoned in this Jia-type Heavenly Prison?

Those imprisoned here are all serious criminals in Heaven.

With this thought in mind, Wu Peng came up with an idea. He took Shen Gongbao and changed direction, heading towards another sacred mountain, intending to test the waters.

After walking through eighty-one mountains and seventy-two rivers to the west, they finally arrived at a blessed mountain. Pagoda peaks could be vaguely seen rising into the sky, with clouds curling like white gauze covering jade, and golden light emitting as if formed by colored glaze. From afar, it looked like a twelve-level golden lotus blossoming.

The mountains and forests are full of exotic flowers and plants, and red fruits like Danxia are dotted on the branches. In the dense forests, white deer fly through the woods with grass in their mouths. There are gurgling streams and fish and dragons playing.

It seems like a truly blessed place on earth, just like the Tathagata’s Lingxiu Mountain.

Shen Gongbao was suddenly startled and murmured, "There is no blood rising to the sky, no demonic energy, no wronged souls scattered all over the ground, and no piles of bones. Instead, it looks like a Buddhist temple."

“It’s the Buddhist temple.” Wu Peng laughed and said, “Those little demons who destroyed all races and sacrificed blood to the heavens are not qualified to be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. They would have been killed by the Thunder God of Heaven, captured by the Star God, and sent to the God-Slaying Platform as a warning to others.”

"The fellow Taoists who can get here are all very capable and are feared by the Heavenly Court."

"For example, this Tathagata, the King of the Treasure Mountain, is known for being equal to all living beings. He violated the taboos of the Heavenly Court, but because of the Buddhist sect, it is not allowed to kill him, so he was imprisoned here."

Good Residence Treasure Mountain King Tathagata? !
Shen Gongbao was suddenly shocked. As the future Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who had joined the Assembly of 1,250 Buddhist monks, how could he be unfamiliar with this title? This Tathagata was no ordinary Buddha.

The Tathagata, the King of the Mountain of Treasures, is unfamiliar to most ordinary people, but his Bodhisattva title is well-known, and he is known as the Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva!
Amitabha, Avalokitesvara and Mahasthamaprapta are known as the Three Holy Ones of the West and preside over the Western Paradise.

The supernatural powers of this great Bodhisattva are slightly lower than those of Amitabha Buddha, and are on par with those of Guanyin.

"All beings are equal. How could such a kind heart be imprisoned by the Heavenly Court?"

Shen Gongbao couldn't understand it. He had caused trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and Wu Peng had gone against the cycle of reincarnation, both of which were blatant and serious crimes. So what sin had this great Bodhisattva committed?

Wu Peng sneered and said, "All beings are equal, but not everyone is equal. This kind of evil way, not to mention that the heaven cannot tolerate it, if it is in the outside world, I will destroy him first."

"Good, good, donor Wu Peng took the photo. All beings are equal, so why should there be any distinction between high and low?" Suddenly a compassionate voice sounded, echoing between heaven and earth, and lingering for a long time.

I saw a monk coming from the mountains, wearing gray clothes and a celestial crown on his head. On the crown was a treasure bottle filled with light, and in his hand was a lotus jade ruyi that was about to bloom.

"Dragon and Phoenix calamity, witches and demons fought against each other, overthrowing the divine court, witches and humans killed each other, when will the cycle of revenge end? It's all because of the cycle of karma in our hearts."

Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva sighed and said, "It is better to let go and gain great liberation."

"If I let it go, shouldn't I convert to Buddhism?" Wu Peng sneered, "Don't try to fool me with this bullshit. Conquering a kingdom and ruling it is a principle that has been passed down since ancient times. Why should we, the great witches, give away the family business that we have worked so hard to accumulate to the younger generation of the human race?"

"This world has always been a place of respect and inferiority. Otherwise, why is the Emperor of Man so high up? Otherwise, why is a great monk like you locked up by the Emperor of Heaven?"

Shen Gongbao took a deep breath. If this word got out, he would be beheaded.

In the ancient times, no matter which party or sect they were from, when promoting their own doctrines, they would always bring up truth, goodness and beauty to cover it up. No one would be so blatant and unscrupulous as this.

Is this the great witch of the older generation? He is really unruly.

"The donor's obsession is too deep."

The Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta spoke calmly and did not argue with Wu Peng. All the cultivators who had attained the state of Tathagata and Daluo had a heart as hard as iron. They would not yield in the face of the Emperor of Heaven and would defend their own path with their lives and blood. It would be impossible to change their minds with just a few words, even if they spoke eloquently.

Giving up Wu Peng, Dashizhi turned to look at Shen Gongbao, examined him for a moment, clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist, what do you think of reincarnation?"

No matter how you look at it, of course I'll just sit and watch. I don't want to get involved in your fight between gods.

Shen Gongbao murmured in his heart, and then a thought came to his mind. He thought of Ma Yuan who was rescued by Zhunti, and asked back: "The Bodhisattva said that all living beings are equal, but are the gods and mortals equal?"

"Of course." Mahasthamaprapta nodded and said, "All sentient beings are transformed by Pangu, all have Buddha nature, and all can achieve enlightenment. Regardless of whether they are immortals or Buddhas, there are differences between the past and the present, but there is no distinction between high and low."

Shen Gongbao nodded and understood why Dashizhi was locked up. How could gods be equal to mortals? In the heavenly court of the last era, Shinto was the master of heaven and earth, and the rest were just sacrifices.

At this era, although the Shinto order has loosened a little due to the arrival of the post-natal era, it is still high and mighty, forming a pattern of super-strong forces in the prehistoric world.

This super power is the Shinto Heaven.

"Then are the human race and the demon race equal?" Shen Gongbao asked
Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva smiled and said, "Yes."

"Is it possible for humans to hunt and kill demons?" Shen Gongbao continued to ask.
"Although there is sin in killing, it is natural and natural." Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva put his hands together and said with a compassionate face: "Good, good."

"Is it okay for the demons to eat humans?" Shen Gongbao asked again.

"Although there is killing, it is the natural law of nature." Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta repeated what he had just said.

Shen Gongbao's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice: "What a great equality for all beings, what a great equality for all beings!"

In the cycle of reincarnation, all beings are equal, without distinction of high or low.

People can eat chicken, duck, fish and meat, so if a carp becomes a spirit, it can naturally eat young boys and girls.

If only humans can eat monsters, but monsters are not allowed to eat humans, that would be inequality.

If only monsters are allowed to eat humans, but humans are not allowed to eat monsters, this is also unfair.

It is not that all gods are ordinary, it is not that all people are equal, but that all beings are equal.
