Chapter 399 What is a Saint? Suffering of All Living Things
"Recently, something is wrong with the guy on Mount Buzhou and the Candle God before him."
The vast land is a land of desolation and suffering. It can be seen that the vast expanse of land is barren.
Countless ugly monsters breed in the dark land, and the seeds of distortion have penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
Two Taoists were sitting on the dirty ground and talking to each other. One of them had a miserable look on his face, and the other was also skinny.
But unexpectedly, there was a long dragon following behind the two, and all kinds of creatures followed them spontaneously.
Among these creatures, some have hideous faces and occupy the top of the food chain.
Some have a beautiful appearance and a light body, but they are the first two words in the food chain: food.
Surprisingly, the wild beasts do not eat the weak, and the weak are not afraid of danger. They all have kind and gentle faces.
It is not difficult to see that this all depends on the two Taoists in front.
"I'm afraid there are things you and I haven't seen."
The one with a painful expression on his face is the Taoist who guides people; his facial features have changed.
The skinny Taoist is Zhunti, and is different from the previous ones.
“We must see the essence through the phenomenon.”
Zhunti Taoist's eyes wandered, "Those three are the ones who know this world best. At the same time, the one on the sun is the same."
The light of wisdom poured down from both of them, the Taoist Jie Yin and the Taoist Zhunti, the light of wisdom from both of them collided and created a brilliant future.
But they couldn't figure it out and didn't know what it was.
Suddenly, a subtle sound was heard, and a black lotus from Mount Buzhou crossed the sky and disappeared in an instant.
"That... is Lord Rahu?"
Taoist Zhunti frowned, somewhat confused.
“It should be Him.”
The suspicion in the eyes of the Taoist Jie Yin was even greater at this time.
"These people are the best in the world. You and I have finally returned to the origin of the wilderness, but we have encountered this kind of thing one after another..."
The two Taoists faced each other and suddenly sat down cross-legged.
Their minds are in sync, the avenues of wisdom are colliding, the Bodhi tree is growing, and the Eight Treasures Merit Pool is shining.
And a golden lotus also shone temporarily, within which one could see thousands of worlds and myriad cycles.
All the living beings that followed were bathed in the light of wisdom, and they were actually in tune with the two minds, and they comprehended the light of wisdom together.
This is the way of all living beings. Two great masters traveled across the western land, vowing to restore this land of suffering to its former prosperity.
Throughout the entire prehistoric world, only the West encountered disasters several times, and only the West had wars break out one after another. Those high and mighty gods looked down on them.
No god cares how the living beings here are doing.
No god cares that they have to sacrifice their lives for a bowl of water.
No god wants to waste time.
Even the gods who were born in the West left here quickly as if they were escaping from a burning fire.
Whether going to the rich East, the beautiful South, or the more combative North, they are all much better than the West.
Only...
On this day, two rays of wisdom and divine light fell from the west one after another. The gods that were born were not afraid of difficulties and did not work for themselves, but only to save all living things from suffering.
Together they built the Temple of Wisdom, and used themselves to spread wisdom and bring hope to the creatures of the Western Land.
They teach all living things, use wisdom to fight against harsh environments, and save all living beings.
"Can't guess."
The light of wisdom slowly dimmed, and the Taoist priest opened his eyes tiredly.
"We cannot guess the power of any of these five beings. Even if we have wisdom in our hearts, we are still too slow to save sentient beings."
Taoist Zhunti shook his head: "It is helpless, you and I should focus on the West."
If they give up, they will keep walking.
But suddenly...
"thump!"
Behind Zhunti, the six-legged deer knelt down.
"Please, two saints, please stop paying attention to us and go seek the truth first."
It turned out that the light of wisdom had spread before, and all living beings had a mutual understanding of each other's minds. Everyone already knew the choices made by Jie Yin and Zhunti.
"thump!"
The six-armed ancient ape also knelt down and said, "Please go and practice first, Saint."
"thump."
"thump."
"thump……"
Behind the two Taoists, more and more sentient beings knelt down, hoping that this saint who was wholeheartedly committed to the survival of ordinary beings like them would practice first.
"Saint, please don't make us feel guilty. If we delay the saint's practice, we would rather die here!"
The ancient elephants are wailing, and all spirits are wailing.
“We are not saints.”
The Taoist Jie Yin shook his head: "Our practice is not important."
"If you who are wholeheartedly devoted to the common people are not saints, then there are no saints in this world."
The big snake next to him said devoutly: "Please go and practice first, Saint."
That’s enough, it’s enough, they are extremely grateful for the protection of the two gods.
Such a scene made Jie Yin feel warm in his heart.
He reached out his hand and lifted up these creatures.
"You should get up. You should know that Zhunti and I have the aspirations to practice Taoism in the Western Regions. If you disobey us, your practice will be in vain."
They are stubborn.
Did not agree.
Even though all the spirits begged them desperately, the two turned a deaf ear and just continued walking, spreading wisdom and enlightening the creatures in the West.
When encountering poor mountains and bad water, the water accumulated in the Eight Treasures Merit Pond would be thrown out to purify the heaven and earth.
These followers had no choice but to stop persuading.
But... from this moment on, some of these creatures will choose to leave, unwilling to become a burden to the two Taoists.
They no longer had any doubts. At the moment, it seemed that nothing had happened in the ancient world and it was very quiet.
Even the dragons are willing to come here to take a look.
Of course, it was just a glance. After discovering that this place was really poor and barren, I left decisively.
As long as it is not in the west, there are fish in any river behind any hill.
But in the West, even after traveling through thousands of mountains and deserts, there are no bays or streams.
"The pool is empty."
One day, when the Taoist Zhunti was facing a mountain burning with demonic fire, he discovered that the Eight Treasures Merit Pool was empty.
The condensed pool water couldn't keep up with the rate at which they were using it.
"I'll go."
The Taoist master Jie Yin walked into the flames barefoot; his straw sandals had already worn out.
The flames were burning his body, but they were gradually becoming softer, yet they did not go out.
"The saint feeds the fire with his body."
All living beings admire and gain many insights.
At this moment, a bird in the distance pecked a dewdrop and dropped it on the Demon Fire Mountain.
But how can this drop of water be enough?
"Wow~"
Suddenly, behind the birds, a dark cloud came and a drizzle of rain began to fall, putting out the flames.
"Chirp chirp~"
A bird lingered around Jie Yin and Zhunti, then flew away.
The dark clouds also dispersed.
It turned out that those were the dark clouds that the birds brought from thousands of miles away to bring dew to put out the fire.
In the dark clouds, there was a bird with wisdom shining in its eyes. It folded its wings and bowed eleven times before gradually flying away.
Jie Yin's heart was touched, and he put his hands together and bowed. "I save sentient beings, and sentient beings save me. I help sentient beings, and sentient beings help me."
Everyone followed and put their hands together. Those with claws put their claws together, those with hooves put their hooves together, and those without hooves, claws, or heads bowed their heads.
On the extinguished mountain, there was a subtle opportunity in the dew, which flowed into Zhunti.
The same is true for some green grass that is breaking through the ground on the mountains.
Jie Yin Zhunti did not notice it, he just did it, walked it, and felt it.
“Only those who see the suffering of all living beings and experience the suffering of all living beings can save all living beings from suffering.”
In the chaos, Taoist Taiping was surrounded by infinite divine light and could see the world with one eye.
A casual glance caught His attention.
"Friend Zhihui's inheritance has finally taken the right path."
He felt emotional and sighed. He had handled many things on the path of wisdom, but only these two could truly bring out the best of his wisdom.
The Taoists Jie Yin and Zhunti were unaware of the opportunity.
They didn't go looking for it either.
But sentient beings have brought opportunities. They are measuring the suffering of the West with their footsteps, and sentient beings are repaying the suffering with sweet fruits.
On Mount Buzhou, the Three Pure Ones were also like this, and they saw the Taoists Jie Yin and Zhunti walking continuously among all the realms.
These two have many different identities, either good or evil, but their original intentions remain unchanged.
They could have restrained themselves and competed less, but they did not, and instead hoped to have more.
This will lead to the entire universe being in chaos, and the Avenue of Wisdom will spread throughout the chaos.
Taoist Taiqing praised sincerely: "Saint? What a good title! Anyone who works for the world can be called a saint."
Taoist Yuqing rarely refuted and admired: "Although it is not as good as our opportunity, but the entire Western opportunity has been taken into his pocket. It is so mysterious that it will be difficult to replicate."
The Taoist Shangqing fell into deep thought.
"Big Brother, Second Brother, fellow Daoists Jie Yin and Zhunti are already doing it. I... also want to go down the mountain for a walk after I have all the opportunities."
He wanted to try it, too.
"The Way of Heaven is now clear in you and me. To teach and enlighten all living beings is the right way, and it is also the way of the saints."
He also wants to follow the path of Jie Yin and Zhunti.
"Third brother..."
Taoist Taiqing smiled and said, "How can you teach others if you are not strong yourself?"
"Although your Qingping sword is sharp, there are still things it cannot cut. It is too early to act now."
Taoist Shangqing sighed, but nodded in agreement. They also knew that now was not the most appropriate time to go out.
The Three Pure Ones are the incarnations of the Father God’s original spirit, and they know exactly what will happen and when.
The general situation of the world is fully understood in my mind.
If we say that Jie Yin and Zhunti Taoist climbed the mountain with hard work to make up for their talent, then the Three Pure Ones would have already stood on the top of the mountain.
They were already on the top of the mountain.
Saint is not a state of mind, but a name given by the world to those who are kind and benevolent.
Chen Zhu also saw all of this, but it was inconvenient for him to show up now.
On the top of Buzhou Mountain, in the Zixiao Palace, Taoist Hongjun opened his eyes.
In front of Him, there was a bloody opportunity, emitting a trace of black mist. It was dried blood, and it looked like a purple Qi.
He stretched out his hand and gently grabbed it, and the purple energy directly entered his body. His brain instantly took control of his own consciousness.
"What is this?"
Hongjun pondered for a moment, wanting to understand it with the power of Heaven.
The large piece of the Jade Disc of Creation was flickering, reflecting a black object.
It is not clear. This should be an innate spiritual treasure that obscures the vision of the Heavenly Dao, but Hongjun can still recognize it.
"The only spiritual treasure with such power and a breath that looks like a dot of black light should be the World-Destroying Black Lotus."
Looking back now, the blood that had all traces erased should have been Rāhu’s.
"No wonder I was defenseless."
In this world, He was the only one who did not set up any defenses against Rahu.
The same is true for the latter.
With this opportunity, Hongjun will be able to spend more time under the Heavenly Dao.
This would be very scary, after all, half of His body is in the Heavenly Dao.
Hongjun's gaze moved and looked towards the sun, to the center where the body of Zhushen could no longer be seen.
All that can be seen is a Chaos Bell, which is conceived in the sun and seems to be blended together.
The Chaos Bell is the core of Chen Zhu's Refining Ruins.
In other words, as long as the Chaos Bell is there, the Refining Ruins will be there.
And the essence of Chen Zhu is Lianxu.
In other words, the Chaos Bell is Him, but He is not the Chaos Bell. At this moment, Chen Zhu is comprehending this opportunity.
The great wilderness is infinite.
But His peak is limited.
No matter how infinite existence is, it has an end and a maximum.
Now that he had the opportunity, Chen Zhu suddenly realized something, as if he had gained authority.
However, compared with the authority in the era of the innate gods, the authority of this opportunity is based on all the ways and is no longer a single one.
Two is born, two is born three, three is born all things...
He became more and more intoxicated, and deeply immersed in the understanding of the Way of Heaven.
Wan Dao was almost defenseless in front of him.
On the other hand, the one who also had the same opportunity was Tai Su.
The dusk in His hands is drying up.
The Tai Su Dusk God had been entangled with him for so long, but he was finally defeated. All the fruits of the Tao in the Tai Su era would completely fall on him.
Tai Su held her hand, and the Dao fruit fell.
These gods are undergoing incredible changes.
For thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of millions of years, the ancient world fell into a long period of stability.
The powerful sects are all seeking enlightenment, and the Golden Immortal is extremely mysterious.
The top ones seize the opportunity and make rapid progress.
This means that the era of carnival for all has arrived!
Compared to their restraint, all living beings are undoubtedly much more outspoken. There is a wave sweeping across the myriad realms, and it is rare that all worlds seem to be in the same frequency.
"My dragon clan will prosper forever!"
This is an extremely terrifying battle, the dragons are conquering the world!
Its opponent is the alliance of all races led by the Phoenix and Qilin!
There were real dragons that fought until their blood dried up, but they still refused to retreat.
The one who shouted was the ancestor of Azure Dragon, Qingtian, who was known as one of the two heavens of the dragon clan!
"Qing Cang Divine Way!"
The sky fell, bringing this fight to an end.
"My dragon clan wins again!"
The Qingcang Shinto Lord laughed loudly, but suddenly, the world cup was torn apart, and a black gun pierced the Qingcang Shinto Lord's heart.
"This……"
Qinglong looked back in disbelief, only to see Dapeng's cold and ruthless eyes.
The spears were put away, and endless phoenixes flew into this world.
"Quickly occupy this place and find the second God-killing Gun."
Dapeng ancestor pecked at Qinglong ancestor's body, raised his head and swallowed it, his whole body's strength became more and more terrifying.
Behind Him, more phoenixes broke through the boundary between the two worlds and swept away everything.
In another place, the dragon army is constantly flattening the world.
This is a wave, a trend, and the waves in the boundless ocean of the world.
No one knew where it started, but the three tribes were looking at each other with increasing displeasure.
Often when two worlds meet, there is bound to be fighting and war.
