Myriad Paths

Jing Wuzhen stopped the patrolling angel alone.

Below, Moggallana used his great supernatural power to suppress all evil thoughts.

But Moggallana was seen chanting loudly:

"In the Great Thousand World of Saha, all the eighty-four thousand Vajra Protectors from all heavens have come together to spread my name!"

"Those who recite my name will remove all grudges and subdue evil spirits."

"Those who recite my name! Eliminate demonic obstacles and grant peace."

"Those who chant my name! Inherit the power of the Buddha's mantra and eliminate all poisons."

"I wish to rely on my supernatural power to protect all sentient beings!"

"The Lord of all Vajras, destroys all evil."

"All water gods, remove water poison."

"The Gods of the Void can cure the diseases of time and energy."

"The gods of the earth will cure the great damage to the earth."

"Cai Ji Gaibu, relieve the poison of fire."

"All the wind gods, relieve the madness and paralysis."

"The Vajras of the Lotus Division are the great Dharma doors for liberation."

"All the Yakshas who walk in the sky, the Rakshasas who walk in the earth, etc., break their grievances and eliminate difficulties, and overcome all hardships."

"It's hard to get rid of the king, it's hard to get rid of the thieves, it's hard to get rid of the fire, it's hard to get rid of the wind, it's hard to get rid of the poison, it's hard to get rid of the swords and staffs, it's hard to get rid of the soldiers, it's gotta get rid of the famine, it's gotta get rid of thunder and lightning, it's gotta get rid of all kinds of dangers and obstacles, unless Life is in danger, and with the power of Buddha's mantra, all gold and silver poisons can be eliminated."

"Submit, quell disaster, hook, gain."

"Break all darkness, break all injustices, break all disasters, break all injustices, break all bad fates!"

"Overcome all difficulties, all adversities, all evil ways, all misfortunes!"

"I will repent with my body and mouth, please repent my heart, repent of my three deeds, and seek the Buddha's seal. All my deeds will be accomplished, and I will achieve complete Bodhi."

"This is the edict of the Buddha. Rely on the power of the Tathagata. You who listen carefully and recite my name will receive my protection!"

While Moggallana was reciting, he saw countless Vajras, ghosts and gods descending from the heavens, powerful Vajra gods and kings of various tribes, gods and generals in the great thousand realms and their retinues in the heavens, Yakshas in the sky, Rakshasas in the earth, and even Asuras. Everyone, each armed with weapons and powerful generals.

The Great Brahma King, the Infinite Light Heaven, the Five Non-Returning Heavens, the Mojishou Heaven, and the Good Seeing Heaven.

Billions of beings in the six realms descended to listen to Moggallana's words and spread them everywhere.

But seeing the people in the city of dreams, at every level, there is a heavenly being clothed in rays of light. Some are dakinis and yakshas, ​​some are powerful Vajras, some are asuras, and some are gods from Brahma. They keep walking, shouting, and spreading. The name 'Moggallana'.

This is the meaning of the Buddhist mantra just recited.

"All the eighty-four thousand Vajra Protectors from all heavens in the Great Thousand World of Saha have come together to spread my name!"

He summoned 84,000 vajras of the heavens, and then asked each of these vajras to find people to preach the praises of Moggallana.

Then, in this area - "You who listen carefully and recite my name will be protected by me."

Anyone who hears this passage and keeps reciting the name of 'Moggallana' will be blessed!

The kongs keep spreading the name.

More and more people are hearing it.

Maybe it was because he was ill and he sought medical treatment, or maybe it was a dead horse that was treated as a living horse. Anyway, more and more people began to chant "Moggallana" loudly.

As a result, Moggallana's shadow began to appear in various places.

The red light is lingering, the purple light is clustered, the white light is rotating, and the flames are shining all over the place.

Originally, under the intrusion of demonic thoughts, countless sentient beings were seeking life and death, but they could not get what they wanted. They sometimes traveled on dangerous roads or suffered from nightmares. As the years went by, they became miserable, moaned in sleep, and were miserable and unhappy.

All sentient beings, whether dreaming or sleeping, seeing demonic thoughts, or seeing various forms, whether sad, crying, worried, sighing, fearful, or frightened, will not die well.

This is real... torture.

The fatigue of working overtime and the pain of being criticized by the boss.

Inhuman indifference and hard-hearted egoism are everywhere.

There is no consideration for the health and convenience of the residents. Everyone's only thought is to make as much money as possible and outcompete others. Anyway, no matter how bad the hut is, there will always be poor people who can't afford to rent a good house.

It's still people eating people, and it's still such cruel competition.

It seems that from a certain day, the pressure on these people is not too great. They can still survive on the whole. If they persist, they can get new skills and feed others. Maybe they can succeed and leave here to go to other places. Expand your ambitions.

However, he is extremely numb. He is exhausted and doing work that is purely mechanical and has no innovation. He keeps repeating the work day after day. His body may be fine, but he is constrained by poverty. The reason is that he is ignorant and numb. Step on the ground.

Various "systems" govern administration, medical care, education, and even religion. They will continue to be "numb" until they collapse physically and mentally.

Or... give up.

Stop chasing your dreams and have fun. One day is a day. Play for a day. If you can play for one day and play for three days, you won’t play for two days. You will be confused and ignorant. Don’t feel confused or worried about the future, let alone any future problems. And trouble.

In this city of dreams, "life is short, take pleasure in the moment" and live a "happy and happy" life every day. There is wine today and you will be drunk today, and you will be worried tomorrow.

It is precisely because of this that there are so many things and tragedies.

People in the entire city are equally numb and indifferent, and they are all wrapped in deep pain.

The demonic thoughts here are so heavy. In such an environment, how could the demonic thoughts not be heavy?

Behind this are all the "magic ways" that are leading the way. They use various methods, competition, and everything available to turn the extreme south of the world into this.

And now, after all this has exploded——

"Although it may be a bit arrogant to say this, but... I'm late. From now on, leave it to me." Moggallana, who kept reciting the Buddhist mantra, said this.

Moggallana had actually thought about it a long time ago.

However, he finally discovered that he was not capable enough to solve the problems of the entire dream city, so he has put it on hold until today.

However, in fact, he has always been working in other jobs. Moggallana used his supernatural power to constantly fight against the devil outside the territory, changing many such cities in the universe.

His next goal happens to be the dream city in the world.

It is precisely because of this that when he heard that Li Qi had a way, under the introduction of Shariputra, he joined Li Qi without hesitation, wanting to at least change the city. Even if it could not be destroyed, at least the result would be good. .

Even though he didn't come before, he is here now.

In the city of dreams, more and more mortals began to chant the name of ‘Moggallana’.

Moggallana's magical power also spread to them, dispelling their evil thoughts, protecting them from being approached by evil spirits, calming their minds, and relieving their pain.

And he is not slacking off at all because of the vanity of mortals.

Although for him, mortals are also delusional, but Buddhism has a somewhat different view of delusion.

Emptiness is form, and form is emptiness. In the eyes of Buddhism, not to mention these mortals with reality, even themselves, these so-called powerful beings with reality, are actually emptiness.

Buddhism talks about nothingness, which means that this world is itself illusory.

The universe ‘arose due to causes and conditions’, and will naturally ‘die away’ when conditions end. The formation, existence, destruction and emptiness of the universe itself is active.

Under objective laws, the Buddha will die and the world will perish. This is natural.

There is no final judgment, what you get is the retribution for your actions.

Even the Buddha himself could not change any of the rules of cause and effect - he just discovered these rules and tried his best to educate others with the wisdom and rules he realized.

The essence of the world is that countless particles of dust or strings interact with each other and become entangled together to form a great network of cause and effect, which then forms various visible things. This is true for its essence, whether it is external matter or the inner mind.

Furthermore, do these dust particles and strings exist forever? They just follow a certain law, are born in the void, and will eventually dissipate in the void.

When the universe comes to an end, even the laws themselves will be shattered and replaced by a new universe and new laws. This is what "all conditioned dharma is like a dream and a bubble." All the joys and sorrows in this world, are they not all the gathering and dispersing of laws in an instant?

The so-called ‘empty nature of dependent origin’, ‘boundless emptiness’, and ‘dream bubbles’ themselves reveal the nihility of this world, but no matter how nihilistic this world is, the ‘Dharma’ is real.

That’s what the so-called ‘Buddha Dharma’ is.

So, are these mortals the embodiment of Buddhism?

Without a doubt, yes.

So, they are real.

Then, I should save them. This is a new ‘origin’.

Moggallana's Dharma began to appear dim. The Dharma's original brilliance was gradually eroded by demonic thoughts.

It was still too much for him to bear the evil thoughts of all living beings.

There are two most famous Buddhist powerhouses who transform the world with their supernatural powers, one is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and the other is Amitabha Buddha.

Reciting the name of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva can liberate you from the sufferings of hell.

If you recite the name of Amitabha Buddha, you will be able to have a lotus grow on the ground and be reincarnated in the Pure Land of Paradise in the West after death, free from the torment of reincarnation.

But the prerequisite is ‘sincerity’.

With their magical powers, they still need to set a threshold. It can be imagined that such pressure is great.

Nowadays, Moggallana's help without any threshold is really a bit too much. You must know that these two people, one is the second grade and the other is the first grade, their power is far beyond what Moggallana, a Buddhist disciple, can compare with.

Of course, the areas they are responsible for are also different. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva saves the entire "underworld", which is as huge as the upper world.

And Amitabha Buddha has been throughout the ancient and modern times. At any time, in any place, in any area, as long as you chant the name of the Buddha, you can be guided. It can be said that it is endless. You can do infinite things with infinite magical powers.

What Moggallana had to deal with was just an area like the City of Dreams. Counting the caves and worlds inside, it was probably on the order of hundreds of billions of worlds.

I can bear it even if I grit my teeth.

His death limit is far from reached.

Jingwu Zhen and Moggallana each resisted.

Shariputra looked around.

"Ah, that's it." Shariputra looked around, and six demon kings had already appeared here.

"The four demon kings control the four nodes respectively and guide the demonic thoughts below. Then the six of you will deal with me. Aren't you afraid of the patrol angels now?" Shariputra looked at the six demon kings around him.

"No, Buddha, you are wrong." At this time, one of the demon kings said.

Then, the next demon king answered: "We are not prepared to fight you because there is no need."

After that, another demon king said: "We just need to stay on the eve of the battle."

A demon king continued to answer: "Then, that warrior must stop the patrol angels, because your weakness prevents you from accepting the total annihilation of mortals."

The next demon king continued: "The side with the hostages is at a huge disadvantage."

Shariputra just looked at them.

To be honest, their speech is very strange. Each person only speaks one sentence, and then the next person takes over. Many people join together to speak a complete language.

Shariputra knew that this was because these demon kings had merged into one, and their minds were now completely connected. It was said that there were six of them, but in fact there was only one.

"But in this case, you will lose miserably. As long as I am here, the battle will never be lost. Jing Wuzhen can stop the patrolling angels, and Moggallana can also suppress all the demonic thoughts. When Li Qi suppresses the demonic thoughts, When you wake up, it's your time to die," Shariputra said calmly.

"Through the early arrangements, we have evened the gap with you. If it were a head-on fight, the four of you would join forces... No, you don't even need four, as long as you and Li Qi, or you and Mu Jian Two people can definitely win." The demon kings once again said one sentence each. This sentence was divided into nine paragraphs, and it took nine turns to read it.

However, the strange thing is that they speak very smoothly. Even if they have different voices, the tone and continuity sound like they have just changed the timbre.

"Yes, by taking advantage of our emphasis on mortals and the special geographical location of the world, you have evened the gap, but it seems that it is not even enough. What will you do after Li Qi wakes up?" Shariputra asked.

"Li Qi wakes up? It's possible that he won't wake up." The Demon Lords said this.

"You are really confident, so even this poor monk can say for sure." Shariputra changed his name and walked out: "You devils! No matter whether you win or lose, you can't leave here!"

"The patrolling angel has been stopped by Donor Jing, so if you don't take action, the poor monk will!"

After saying this, Shariputra's Dharma erupted!

The Dharma is solemn, and it raises its body to magnify the light, illuminating hundreds of thousands of billions of Ganges sands and other Buddha worlds, emitting loud sounds, and emitting all kinds of lights from its face. Its light shines brightly like hundreds of thousands of suns, shaking the dusty lands in the ten directions, revealing the power of the Buddha for a moment!

The great voice of the Dharma said: "Listen, listen, listen! All sentient beings have come from the beginning without all kinds of perversions, and their karma is natural, such as the accumulation of evil. Practitioners will not be able to achieve the supreme Bodhi, and even become Shravakas and Praekabuddhas." Heretics, demon kings, and their descendants!”

"All are subject to the power of Buddha and the wrath of Arhat!"

His Dharma form suddenly transformed into a raging-eyed Vajra, and a fourth-grade war was launched brazenly! (End of chapter)
