All five aggregates are empty

Who is Ming Hua?

Meng Lijun also wanted to find out.Judging from his observations, Minghua is a monk of Tantric Buddhism and has not escaped, but it is useless to know this. After all, the various sects of Han Buddhism have merged with each other. At least in his opinion, it is not clear which sect is which. so important.

He also asked the little monk Xianjia, but Xianjia's knowledge of Minghua was limited to "the abbot of Baiyun Temple". He never knew or thought that Minghua had other identities.

And there are no old monks in Baiyun Temple. According to Xianjia, senior brothers with some qualifications have been arranged to be abbots in various monasteries, so the younger monks who are slightly older do not know Minghua very well.

"Minghua said that he is one hundred and seven years old, but I don't know if it's true or not." Meng Lijun raised the topic and waited for Zhiming to answer.Zhi Ming seemed to have done some calculations in his heart, nodded and said: "That's true."

"Then why does he look so young?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Lijun knew that the words were not answered well.Since Minghua is not an ordinary person, his appearance will naturally be different from ordinary people.

Sure enough, Zhi Ming glanced at him, "Then how old do you think I am?"

This question is a bit like sending a proposition.

Answer seriously, afraid of making people too old, so be euphemistic, and the hypocrisy is too obvious.After thinking about it, Meng Lijun decided to avoid a direct confrontation, "It seems... only twenty or thirty."

"Then do you think I'm only 30 years old?"

Meng Lijun shook his head.

"I'm older than Ming Hua." Zhi Ming paused after finishing speaking, and then said, "However, it can't be counted that way."

"Oh?" Meng Lijun pricked up his ears and waited for the next sentence.

Seeing that Meng Lijun seemed to be listening to a play, Zhi Ming couldn't help asking: "Do you really remember nothing?"

"How can I remember something I haven't experienced..." Meng Lijun scratched his head, "At least last week, I didn't know that Xuanwu really existed."

Zhiming sighed, "Three times and ten directions, all dharmas are empty and empty, neither born nor destroyed, neither dirty nor clean, neither increase nor decrease, nothing is real."

Meng Lijun nodded with a half understanding.

Zhiming continued: "The world we live in is divided into the horizontal three worlds and the vertical three worlds. The world in which the Buddhas of the ten directions live is the Paradise of Bliss, the world in which gods and ghosts live is the world of glass, and the world in which ordinary mortals live is the world of whirling The world. People in the Whirling World go to the Glazed World after death, and return to the Whirling World after reincarnation. Of course, if you can escape the karmic reincarnation and practice to a certain level in the Glazed World, you can go to the Land of Ultimate Bliss. The above are Heng Sanshi."

Meng Lijun nodded, "In other words, Ming Hua is from the Glazed World."

"You too." Zhiming glanced at Meng Lijun, "Each life of the horizontal three lives is divided into three vertical lives, namely the past, present and future. In the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss, the Buddha who represents the Buddhas of the past is the lamp Buddha, representing the Buddhas of the present. Shakyamuni Buddha is the one who represents the Buddhas of the future, and Maitreya Buddha represents the Buddhas of the future. The glazed world is also divided into three generations, and the one who is in charge of the future of the glazed world is Minghua."

"So... so powerful?" Meng Lijun remained calm on the surface, but his heart was already turbulent. "Then why is he only one hundred and seven years old?"

"Because it's only been a hundred years since Huang Long left."

"Huanglong?" Meng Lijun's brain began to work rapidly.Huanglong is also one of the ancient beasts, but it is only the fifth spirit besides the four great beasts.The green dragon on the left and the white tiger on the right go up to the Suzaku and go down to Xuanwu, and the one guarding the center is Huanglong.If the four great beasts are compared to a class, Qinglong, the head of the four elephants, is like the class leader, and Huanglong, who suppresses the four beasts, is the class teacher.

Huanglong has always been the representative of imperial power. It is said that Huangdi and Dayu are the incarnations of Huanglong.Thinking of this, Meng Lijun suddenly came to his senses, "It turns out that the Qing Dynasty fell more than 100 years ago!"

There is no longer an emperor in Han, and Huanglong is also exhausted.Just like the end of the Dharma-ending era, people will usher in the future Buddha Maitreya Buddha, the yellow dragon in the glazed world disappears, and the future ruler will naturally appear.

"That's right." Zhi Ming nodded.

"Then why Minghua?" Meng Lijun still couldn't understand, "I mean, why not you, or why not someone else?"

"Do you think anyone can sit in that seat?" Zhi Ming laughed, "Ming Hua was originally a member of the Yasha family in the Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragon, and the Yashas are inherently vicious, but among their family, Ming Hua is also a very special one. People block and kill people, Buddhas block and kill Buddhas, no one can do anything to him. Then guess what happened?"

"...was crushed under the Five Fingers Mountain?"

"No, he put down the butcher knife."

"Immediately become a Buddha..."

"That's right. It's hard for a good person to become a Buddha after practicing for a thousand years, but a bad person can become a Buddha immediately after laying down the butcher's knife. Is there anything more ironic than this?"

This kind of "treatment" should only be possible after being bad to a certain level.Meng Lijun thought to himself.

"So to be precise, Minghua is actually a Buddha?"

"Not all." Zhiming shook his head, "Minghua's title is Fighting the Buddha, but the title is sealed, and his dharma body is not complete. If you want to become a Buddha, you have to continue to practice."

"Fighting and defeating Buddha..." Although the title does not match Minghua's elegant temperament, when Minghua takes off his clothes, it does give people such a domineering feeling.

What are you thinking.Meng Lijun quickly drove away the strange thoughts in his mind.

"Do you know how many Dou Victory Buddhas are there?"

"I guess... 99, or more?"

"No, he's the only one." Zhiming said meaningfully, "There were originally 42 people fighting against Buddha, but now there is only Minghua."

"Why? Are the others also exhausted?"

"No. Minghua killed all 42 Dou Conquer Buddhas, and then called himself a Buddha. In order to punish him, everyone in the Ultimate Bliss World recognized his title."

"Why did you give him a title in order to cure him?"

"What's the best way to manage flooding?"

"Guide..."

"That's right. If you try to block the water flow, it will only cause more serious consequences."

"After becoming a Buddha, did Minghua get better?"

"Depends on how you define 'good' and 'bad'. At least in my opinion... he's not a good guy."

But judging from Meng Lijun's current contact with Minghua, he doesn't think Minghua is a bad person.

"Did he do anything unconscionable to you?"

Hearing this, Zhi Ming couldn't help but burst out laughing, and after a while, she came back to her senses, looked at Meng Lijun and said, "You should ask, what unconscionable things Ming Hua did to 'you'."

"Me?" Meng Lijun pointed to his nose, why did he pull back on himself.

"The reason why you are like this is all Ming Hua's fault." Zhi Ming's expression became serious.

"Really..." Meng Lijun thought to himself that I am fine now.

"In the end of the Dharma era, violence needs to be controlled with violence, which is why Minghua was chosen. However, his previous methods will not work here. He can kill demons and demons, but he can't kill everyone. When Huanglong was about to run out, the four beasts were no longer restrained. At that time, we could say that we could do whatever we wanted. When Minghua first appeared, he couldn't do anything to us, because he couldn't get rid of all the four beasts. There will be chaos everywhere. So..."

"He just gave Qinglong to...?" Meng Lijun wiped his neck.

"That's right." Zhi Ming nodded expressionlessly.

"Tsk tsk tsk, that's too cruel."

"You seem to always feel that it's none of your business."

"I really don't remember."

"Then let me tell you how he killed Qinglong." Zhiming looked at Meng Lijun and said meaningfully: "Ming Hua made Qinglong fall in love with him."

"Eh?" Meng Lijun was caught off guard by these words, and felt as if he had suddenly jumped from an American drama channel to a Korean drama channel.

"He originally wanted to use Qinglong to make the other three compromise, but apart from me, Baihu and Suzaku didn't agree. So, he killed Qinglong and took away Qinglong's thousand-year practice."

"This is too much, haven't you avenged Qinglong?" Meng Lijun was completely immersed in the mode of watching dramas.

"We are not as united as you think. I don't know what Baihu and Suzaku think, at least I don't dare." Zhiming admitted his cowardice generously, but still with an aggrieved tone on his mouth, "I just explained Hua's dharma body is not complete, but in fact, before he killed Qinglong, he didn't have a dharma body. He was just a bad thief who stole Qinglong's practice, and I think he will be punished one day."

"I see." Meng Lijun nodded, "After having the dharma body, Minghua should be even more powerful. Presumably, Baihu and Suzaku would not dare to act rashly, so he used this method to suppress the four beasts."

"That's right, it took more than 30 years."

"More than 30 years? That is to say... After Minghua settled the Quartet in the Glazed World, the Whirling World also established a new country and stabilized it."

"It's not completely stable."

"That's right." Meng Lijun rested his chin on one hand, "Tibet has always been unstable. It must be the white tiger guarding the west who is causing trouble."

"Baihu is also the god of war, and his temper is becoming more and more unpredictable."

"I didn't expect there to be such a connection between the Glazed World and the Whirling World."

"All worlds are always born and passed away, there are fronts and backs, gatherings and dispersals start and stop, thoughts are continuous, and the cycle goes back and forth. Every world is connected."

"Speaking of which, I saw a Buddha statue in the main hall of Baiyun Temple, which looks exactly like Minghua. Is that his Dharma body?"

"No, it should be just the sambhogakaya. Minghua's dharmakaya is in his body, and ordinary people can't see it."

"No wonder the first time I saw Minghua, there was a backlight behind him, but I couldn't see it later."

"However, his sambhogakaya can be regarded as his true appearance. Don't look at him wearing a cassock now, looking harmless to humans and animals. In fact, he is not a good person."

Meng Lijun recalled the Buddha statue he saw in the main hall again, his angry eyes were wide open, it was indeed fierce, he was completely different from Ming Hua in normal times.But having said that, in that weird hallucination before, the evil and seductive Minghua was completely different from usual.

Forcing himself to withdraw his thoughts, Meng Lijun asked again: "Since Minghua is so powerful, why did he bring me to you?"

"Who knows." Zhi Ming sneered, "Maybe he's just being stingy with his mana."

"Is that so..." Meng Lijun curled his lips. After hearing so many back stories, he realized that he didn't understand Minghua at all.

Whether it's Liuli or mother-in-law, it has nothing to do with me.Perhaps it would be safer to change to another mentor.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the woods by the lake, and groups of crows flew out of the woods.The ground under his feet began to shake, and Meng Lijun subconsciously looked at Zhiming, only to see her frowning, as if this was also an unexpected situation for her.

"It's him."

"Minghua?"

"He broke in."

The air by the lake seemed to have condensed, and a black gap spread in the air.The scene in front of me gradually fell apart with the crack as the center, gradually revealing the appearance of the real world.

Behind the crack is Minghua.

And the three of them are still in the cave.

"Let's go." Minghua said lightly, no one could see what he was thinking.

Seeing that Zhi Ming was obviously upset, Meng Lijun quickly smoothed things over and said: "Well, wait a long time, we were just chatting."

"What are you talking about?"

"..." Meng Lijun got stuck, thinking how he could lift a rock and shoot himself in the foot.

"What else can we talk about?" Zhiming said leisurely, "Of course it's about the shitty things between Master Minghua and our Shenjun Mengzhang back then. Didn't you bring him here because you wanted him to listen to it?"

"Eh?" Meng Lijun's face was full of question marks, and only then did he realize that he was not in the situation all along.

"Then he knows everything he should know." After Ming Hua finished speaking, he looked at Meng Lijun, "Let's go."

"Oh..." Meng Lijun took a look at Zhiming, then obediently walked to Minghua's side.

The two walked out side by side, and at this moment, Zhi Ming behind him suddenly said loudly: "He is no longer Qinglong, what's the use of regretting it now? It's ridiculous!"

Ming Hua stopped, and Meng Lijun also stopped.He turned around and saw that the cassock on Minghua's body suddenly seemed to be weightless for some reason, slowly floating up, and Minghua's eyes also changed obviously.

—he was angry.

Recalling Zhiming's description to Minghua just now, the momentum of "people block people from killing people, and Buddhas block from killing Buddhas" rushed towards his face, and Meng Lijun couldn't move at the side.It's not that he doesn't want to move, it's just that the oppressive air in the cave makes him completely unable to control his body.Glancing at Zhiming not far away, she stared at Minghua with a livid face, as if she didn't want to lose her momentum, but the three snake tails trembling restlessly behind her had completely exposed her inner fear.

"Whoever he is, he's mine."

After leaving a word, Ming Hua left with Meng Lijun.

Zhiming breathed a sigh of relief, she knew that Minghua would not do anything to her, otherwise she would not have died like this.It's just that Minghua's angry appearance still makes her feel a little lingering.
