Master Yuanci kneeling down with tears in his eyes was not just for show.
But after seeing the full front view of Fuhuaruomeng Temple, I was inspired by the mysterious hint of this main building.
Before entering the main hall, he was affected. With the blessing of light from Su Ping, Master Yuanci saw that the Tathagata in his heart was really standing on the temple and watching him silently.
So I got excited and lost my temper and shed tears.
Master Yuanci should be familiar with this small missionary technique of using architecture or pictures to match the time and place.
In the feudal era, there were many people who understood the key, and they used this to win the favor of wealthy families and even emperors, so they carried out large-scale construction projects and left their own traces in history.
It's just that Master Yuanci has experienced various mysterious events this day and night, and now there is the constant impact of mysterious hints from the Immortal Boat and the Flashy Dream Temple.
His inner defense has been broken through countless times!
"Mortal host, wake up... it's time to go to the main hall."
The ghost messenger floated over, approached Master Yuanci and warned him.
It was also with this voice that interrupted Master Yuanci's self-suggestion.
The shining golden light of the Tathagata in front of him gradually returned to the normal golden scenery of the sea of clouds.
This beautiful scenery combined with the majestic temple is still shocking, but the impact is no longer as strong as before.
Master Yuanci nodded and wiped his tears with his sleeve.
Master Yuanci suddenly discovered that the air here was not only exceptionally clean and fresh.
Every breath I took seemed to make me feel better.
"This place must be the holy land for my true cultivation as a Buddha, just like the blessed land mentioned in those Taoist temples."
"I just don't know if our holy land is still there, and their blessed land is still there?"
The closer you get to the real mystery.
Master Yuanci realized more and more that all the fellow practitioners he had met before, no matter how high their status was, were all a bunch of fake cultivators in comparison!
In the past, Master Yuanci would also consider the other party's status and spiritual practice to make a comprehensive judgment.
Now, haha, as long as there are no extraordinary abilities, then they are all ordinary people who have not yet started!
Master Yuanci bent down slightly, and after getting off the immortal boat, he followed the ghost messenger who led the way to the mountain gate, and then stepped onto the winding stone stairs.
There are many stone sculptures carved on the mountains on both sides of the stairs.
Each group of stone sculptures contains a Buddhist story or a certain philosophy.
Master Yuanci wished he could stop here all day and night and memorize all the stone carvings in his mind.
It's a pity that he doesn't have time now, and he has never thought about whether he can use technological equipment to record this wonder.
Although no one told Master Yuanci that smart devices are prohibited here since entering this holy land.
However, Master Yuanci instinctively and subconsciously did not think about this disrespectful behavior.
The mountain is not high, and the winding steps do not exceed a hundred meters.
Despite this, Master Yuanci climbed up the mountain and saw the gorgeous Ruomeng Temple that made his body tremble uncontrollably.
Still a little surprised that he didn't feel any fatigue at all.
Don't look at him scolding Fang Qiu at the Daci and Great Compassion Temple.
His family knows his own affairs, and he is also an old monk in his seventies.
It’s incredible to be able to climb the mountain without stopping like this without being out of breath or having waist pain!
This must be the Holy Land at work. This is the right time and right place in the practice!
Master Yuanci saw the six-tusked stone elephants on both sides of the temple gate. He vaguely seemed to see the lifelike stone elephants suddenly looking towards him with their eyes moving.
Master Yuanci couldn't help but clasped his hands and bowed his head silently to apologize.
The ghost messenger floated to his side and sighed:
"Go in, you won't have to worry about attacks from these guardian statues since you got the token."
"If you can pass the test of Fuhua Rumeng Temple, you will be qualified to obey orders."
"Thank you, messenger."
Master Yuanci nodded. After hearing the word "test", he took a deep breath and thought about the suffering and joy in this life.
Master Yuanci straightened his back, raised one hand in front of his chest and strode towards the temple gate.
Wow!
The heavy gilded mahogany door opened slowly and automatically without any wind.
Master Yuanci felt that he seemed to hear waves of whispers coming from the door.
After hesitating for less than half a second, Master Yuan Ci resolutely stepped into the threshold.
Suddenly!
Master Yuanci found that the main hall suddenly became much brighter.
Everything around him was magnificent, and there was a Bodhisattva Arhat rising from the clouds in the sky, looking at him with a gentle face.
The more familiar Bodhisattva nodded slightly to him, seeming to secretly support his arrival.
In addition to these humanoid lords, around the hall, there were also dragons, giant elephants, lions, bears and other spiritual beasts mostly hidden in the clouds and mist, staring at him with different expressions.
And in the most noble position in the middle of these Bodhisattvas and Arhats, surrounded by dragons and giant elephants.
The impressive statue is at least tens of meters tall, with its head almost reaching the roof. The golden image of Tathagata is sitting on the lotus platform.
This image looks both like a statue and a real person, perfectly in line with Master Yuanci’s mental image of the Buddha.
"The poor monk Yuan Ci has met all the venerables in the magnificent Rumeng Temple."
Master Yuanci did not dare to look at the gods and Buddhas around him, and quickly came to the futon at the door to salute the Tathagata.
After the salute was completed, he did not continue to kneel down.
"Now that I see the Tathagata, why don't you kneel down!"
Before Tathagata could speak, a divine dragon lowered its head, approached Master Yuanci less than ten meters away with its ferocious mouth, and let out a scolding sound.
The saliva and fishy wind even hit Master Yuanci directly.
Master Yuanci was about to kneel down, but suddenly stopped.
At this moment, his life's experiences and insights flashed through his mind.
The appearance of himself as a boy, as an adult, and as an old man emerged one by one.
Master Yuanci suddenly had an epiphany.
He turned a deaf ear to Shenlong's scolding. Instead, he raised his head and looked directly at the Tathagata and said:
"The poor monk has been seeking the Tao since he was a child. When he was in middle age and failed, he came to seek the Buddha again. Although he only found peace of mind after begging again and again, he also learned not to kneel to the Buddha in his heart."
"Amitabha, all conditioned dharmas are like bubbles in a dream, like dew or lightning, and should be viewed as such."
Master Yuanci formed a seal with his hands on his chest and silently recited the Vajra Prajna Jackfruit Sutra.
The gods and demons all around showed their evil looks and let out harsh whispers.
There were even dragons, giant elephants, lions and wild bears approaching Master Yuanci with their mouths open and roaring, as if they could swallow his body in one gulp in the next second.
The surrounding golden clouds were boiling like hot oil, and bursts of thunder exploded in it.
For a mortal like Master Yuanci, even if he has clearly understood in his heart that this is a test, it is just a failure and a projection of his past obsession.
Even after persisting in the center of the storm for a few seconds, I still felt that my old bones were about to be unable to hold on.
good!
Finally, Master Yuanci, whose legs had begun to bend, heard a heavenly sound like a bell.
In an instant!
The formation in the main hall of Fuhua Rumeng Temple stopped functioning.
The Tathagata and all the gods and demons reflected in Master Yuanci's state of mind suddenly disappeared without a trace.
The empty main hall appeared in front of Master Yuanci.
Only lights, various statues of gods and Master Yuanci are accompanied.
Looking at the gilded golden body of Buddha at the top of the main hall.
This time, Master Yuanci knelt down on the futon without hesitation and bowed his head respectfully toward the clay tire, which had no mysterious power at all, to show his respect for the Buddha.
Su Ping crossed his legs in the sea of clouds in the sky, paying attention to Master Yuanci's every move.
Seeing how quickly he broke away from the illusion created by his lifelong obsession.
He felt that this was unexpected but reasonable.
Although Master Yuanci is engaged in the business of copper odor, he is also a serious practitioner of Shuilan Star.
As he said, he sought Taoism in his youth, turned to Buddhism in his middle age, and then became the most authoritative abbot of the Daci and Compassion Temple in his old age.
If this person were in the world of immortal cultivation, he would definitely be said by Buddhist cultivators to have wisdom.
As long as they have spiritual roots, even low-grade ones will definitely be taken into the inner sect and carefully cultivated.
Even if your future achievements in cultivation are not high, you can still be sent to the Buddhist Temple for basic research and even improvement on magic techniques.
The technological progress in the world of immortality cannot be separated from the silent efforts of these enlightened and wise monks...
"What you are holding in your hand is the token of the Great Compassion Temple."
In the main hall, a bass with a somewhat bleak tone echoed.
Upon hearing this voice, Master Yuanci, who was about to stand up, chose to remain motionless in kowtow, and quickly spoke out to identify himself.
"A mortal can find tokens and be recognized by coming to this flashy dream-like temple."
"In the past three hundred years, you have been the first."
"The Dharma lineage of Daci and DaCompassion Temple will continue as it should."
Hearing this, Master Yuanci couldn't help but feel calm. At the same time, he secretly thought about the number one in the past three hundred years. Could it be that three hundred years ago, there were monks like him who found this place through tokens and continued the Buddhist relationship for his sect. ?
At this moment, Master Yuanci thought of the immortal Arhats and Bodhisattvas recorded in ancient books who only officially appeared three hundred years ago.
And those monsters and monsters...
He even thought about the famous sects outside the Great Wall who had been set on the right path.
He even suspected for a moment that perhaps the higher circles had long known that certain people were true cultivators, and that was why they recognized those factions with strange styles as well-known and upright sects.
Su Ping didn't know that he said it so casually.
Master Yuanci began to figure out the causes and consequences, and even automatically added details to form a mysterious world view that was still vague but logically consistent.
"It's just that you are only a mortal after all. For you, the task of Fumang Temple is not something you can accomplish with a firm mind and a desire to seek Buddha."
The bass said this and paused:
"But you passed the test after all...and you have indeed become destined to the Fumang Meng Temple."
"Go away. There are messengers outside who will give you what you need and what you need to do."
After saying this, the bass no longer appeared.
Master Yuanci was a little scared at first, it was the fear of not being needed.
Fortunately, when he heard the voice behind him, Master Yuanci bowed gratefully again, then bent over and walked backwards out of the main hall.
boom!
The wooden door of the main hall automatically closed again without any wind.
Master Yuanci saw the ghost messenger waiting beside him.
He found that just after entering and exiting the main hall, the ghost messenger's attitude towards him changed drastically.
The dead man's face was actually smiling at his twisted muscles.
"It's true...ghosts also know how to deal with the world."
"But that's right. Since mystery exists and the legends of our ancestors are true, then what's wrong with the fact that in their records, those cunning gods, demons and ghosts also talk about the world?"
"Money can make all the difference, and it seems to be the same in the mysterious world. I just don't know what money is in this world?"
Master Yuanci, as the real power host, instinctively had many thoughts flashing through his mind.
However, he kept a kind expression on his face and said hello and thanked the ghost messenger.
"Master Yuanci, your Daci and Compassion Temple is very blessed this time!"
The ghost messenger smiled stiffly and said:
"Venerables attach great importance to fate. Master, you have passed the test of questioning your mind and proved that you are a wise person."
"Then we just need to handle the matters sent down step by step, and His Majesty will re-gift the magical weapons and techniques to pass on. This is just as it should be."
"I would like to congratulate you in advance, Master!"
The two sides exchanged polite greetings again, and then the ghost messenger led Master Yuanci back to the fairy boat, pointing to a few more rolls of silk and a wooden box the size of a suitcase on the deck:
"Master, please take a look. What is depicted in these silks is a schematic diagram of the specific layout of a large array to slay demons, eliminate demons, and exorcise evil spirits."
"And this one, it's a scripture to pray for blessings and exorcise evil spirits, and it's a mantra to go with the formation."
"Also, this box contains magic weapons that have sealed evil spirits. The master needs to place them in key positions of the magic circle."
Master Yuanci nodded while checking, and asked questions from time to time.
This time, the ghost messenger showed great patience and almost answered all questions.
The other party's reaction also gave Master Yuanci reassurance, and he felt that his chances were mostly stable, otherwise this ghost would not have changed so much!
Answered by Ghostbringer.
Master Yuanci also gradually understood.
Fuhua Rumeng Temple is a holy place built by powerful sages working together.
It is also a forbidden area!
One hundred thousand meters deep under the temple, thousands of evil spirits that have come from outside the territory for thousands of years are suppressed.
These evil spirits are almost immortal, and even the Venerable cannot eliminate them in a short time. They can only seal them first to prevent them from causing harm to the world.
It’s just that there are more and more evil spirits, and there are quite a few that cannot be erased even after a thousand years.
In desperation, every once in a while, or ten years, or a hundred years, colleagues will be invited to come and strengthen the seal or make great efforts to eliminate the more abnormal and variable ones.
The ghost messenger vaguely speculated that some branches may have lost their inheritance. On the one hand, it is related to the deterioration of the mortal environment. On the other hand, it may be due to an accident when eradicating evil spirits.
Master Yuanci also thought of the abbots and eminent monks who died in Daci and Dabei Temple three hundred years ago.
Although there is no evidence, he still tends to believe that the ancestors all sacrificed their lives to slay demons!
At the same time, Master Yuanci also breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he was responsible for the aftermath without danger.
The sealed magical artifacts in the wooden box were full of evil remains that were like stone powder.
He just needs to make good use of his old skills, hold a good Dharma meeting, recite scriptures well, and drive away the last bit of evil spirit from the evil remains!
After roughly understanding what you want to do.
Master Yuanci thanked the ghost messenger again, and then bowed down and gave him his hand.
I was dazzled for a moment.
When my eyes saw clearly what was in front of me again.
Master Yuanci suddenly found himself back in the bedroom where he was meditating.
The incense in the house still lingered in the air.
However, maybe there is a comparison with the Holy Land.
Master Yuanci suddenly felt that the incense he liked was nothing more than that.
It is better to breathe in the fresh air in the holy place to make yourself physically and mentally happy and eliminate fatigue.
Master Yuanci looked at the wooden box and silk he was carrying in his hands.
These physical objects brought from that dreamlike place confirmed his belief that everything was real.
At the same time, after carefully looking at the contents of the silk array diagram again, I realized the magical perception bonus that this array diagram gives people.
A bold idea indeed flashed into Master Yuanci's mind.
He was about to hold a large-scale Dharma conference, so he encountered this series of mysterious events...
But he quickly shook his head and threw the thought away.
That mysterious holy land, that fairy boat that can soar in the sea of clouds, that majestic and magnificent temple like a dream that can torture people's hearts!
Such great beings are coveting the Dharma conference they created just to add something to it?
Ah!
Yuanci! Yuanci!
You think too highly of yourself!
This is impossible, absolutely impossible!
Master Yuanci regarded this as an inner demon, locked it completely, and forgot about it.
Then, Master Yuanci walked out of the bedroom and immediately began to greet his junior brothers and the heads of the planning department for a meeting overnight.
Every layout needs to be changed!
There are still many locations that need to be re-planned!
Funds can be increased, things must be done well, and if time is not enough, add more manpower!
Master Yuanci showed his usual vigorous and resolute style in this matter.
Although it increased the tasks of all parties, it also made them feel more at ease.
The prestige accumulated through so many successful Dharma meetings has made everyone believe in the inertial thinking that Master Yuanci’s words must be correct.
Several participants who planned the event naturally did not object after hearing that they could add more money.
Fortunately, the Dharma Assembly follows certain Feng Shui knowledge.
It also coincides with the principle of formation.
Coupled with the use of modern tools and the Vajra Fu magic circle for exorcism, it is a simple magic circle that has been greatly improved in order to be popularized by mortals.
After a busy day and night, everything was finally arranged before the meeting.
Master Yuanci was still uneasy, and from time to time he took out the magical formation diagram to watch and meditate.
Then he ran to the scene to confirm, and repeated this process, which made the monks secretly marvel.
During this period, Su Ping was not idle either... Oh, no, even the little white and gray rats were not idle either.
They dug through the underground passages at the ceremony site and buried spirit stones and small spirit-gathering arrays at key locations to ensure that this most important array could be effective.
Especially the main hall, considering the long and steady flow of water that will follow.
Su Ping also took out a set of high-quality magic arrays bought from Jinyun Shanfang City and arranged them underground there. More than ten spiritual stones were also placed in advance to ensure supply.
In this way, after the Dharma Conference is over, Master Yuanci can continue to collect thoughts and eliminate the evil spirits in the sealed magic weapon after he opens the hall to receive worship from subsequent believers and tourists.
Su Ping hoped that his experiment would be successful and there would be no consequences.
As long as you can succeed and pass the inspection without any future troubles, you can enter batch copying and enter the stage of quickly accumulating merit.
At that time, these eminent monks will have hope of struggle, and the believers will have a sense of accomplishment by contributing their efforts to slaying demons, and they can exchange them for magical powers and various rare materials that cannot be bought.
This is a complete win-win-win!
