At the same time.
At the top of Guyang Mountain, at the entrance to the 'Ancient Immortal Ruins'.
Seeing that people around him were entering the ruins one after another, the great Buddhist monk who led the team smiled and said: "It's almost time...Junior Brother Xu, I will go back to Guyang City first. I will help you with the ancient Buddha in the ruins. Take the trouble.”
"Amitabha!"
The monk known as 'Xuhuan' performed a Buddhist salute, and then said with a smile: "Don't worry, senior brother, I will definitely bring out the ancient Buddha."
"Amitabha, take care!" After the leading monk returned the Buddha's salute, he led nearly half of the monks in the team towards Guyang City.
The rest followed Xu Hui into the 'Ancient Immortal Ruins'....
…
Ancient immortal ruins, in an unknown hall.
Not long after Chengsheng entered the ruins, he saw Le Zhengxunyi and his younger junior sister Meng Qingyao also appearing in the main hall.
Le Zhengxunyi looked around and wondered: "Huh? Where are the people who went in before us?"
Cheng Sheng said nothing, just stared at the wall in the hall.
After a long while, he frowned and said, "Xundao friend, look at the mural on this wall, it seems a little weird!"
Le Zhengxun looked over after hearing the sound.
He looked surprised and said: "It seems to be true!"
There are more than a dozen murals of unknown meaning hanging in this hall, most of which contain portraits of women or gold and silver treasures.
The women in the murals are all no more than 28 years old, and all of them are extremely beautiful.
Although they are just people in the painting, upon closer inspection, they are no different from real living people...
As for the murals with gold and silver treasures, the contents are extremely luxurious.
House, carriage, servants, jewelry...
All the wealth that can be imagined in the world is found in the murals.
Not only that.
When Cheng Huo and others observed carefully, they could also spot the figure of the monk who entered the ruins earlier than them from the murals.
These monks seemed to be 'sucked' into the murals...
For example, one of the murals has a portrait of a woman.
In addition to a stunningly beautiful woman in the painting, there are three other monks who are fighting with swords beside the woman.
They were all ruthless and decisive when taking action, as if they were no longer their former friends, but sworn enemies with sworn enemies.
Another example is another mural with gold and silver treasures, houses, carriages and horses, and servants.
In the mural, a monk from Beixian Mountain was standing with a sword. Next to him, there were five fellow disciples lying in a pool of blood.
Obviously, these six people had just experienced a fierce fight.
And the final winner was the sword-wielding monk.
After the victorious monk killed his fellow disciples, he took possession of the gold and silver treasures in the painting, the house, the carriages and horses, and the servants, and lived a life of extreme luxury ever since.
One day, two days.
In the main hall.
Cheng Sheng and Le Zhengxunyi just looked at the mural for a while, and nearly a month had passed in the mural...
Seeing this vision, Le Zhengxun was surprised and said: "The speed of time in the mural seems to be much faster than in reality!"
"Amitabha!"
As soon as Le Zhengxun finished speaking, he saw great Buddhist monks appearing in the main hall one after another.
The leading monk chanted a Buddhist chant and explained to Chenghuo and others: "When people are greedy for pleasure, they will feel that time passes very quickly."
"This is true in reality, and it is no exception in murals."
The monk said and looked towards the mural.
——As the life of the monks in the murals becomes more and more luxurious, the flow of time in the murals gradually becomes faster and faster.
In the blink of an eye, the monk from Beixian Mountain had entered his old age unknowingly.
He grew a beard and looked older, as if he was past his sixties.
Monks tend to live longer than mortals.
The monks in the late stage of embryo-building have a life span of nearly two hundred years.
Before the monk from Beixian Mountain entered the mural, he was only about forty or fifty years old, in his prime.
But after entering the mural, in just a moment, he became an old man who was 150 or 60 years old.
This man actually spent hundreds of years in vain in the murals...
This lasted for nearly another stick of incense.
Finally, the monk in the mural suddenly realized something.
At this moment, the flow of time in the mural suddenly slowed down.
The monk looked up at the sky from the mural as if he had just woken up from a big dream, with tears in the corners of his eyes...
Following a flash of white light, the white-haired monk from Beixian Mountain actually emerged from the mural.
He looked around, looking at Cheng Sheng and others in the hall, with a trace of vicissitudes of life in his eyes: "You are..."
"Amitabha!"
In the team of great Buddhist monks.
The leader of the monk shook his head and sighed: "Huang Liang is a dream, and the comfort of life is the same. The benefactor has let it go, hasn't it happened yet?"
The monk's words shocked the monk from Beixian Mountain, and he quickly understood what was going on.
Thinking that he had killed his former classmates because of his greed for pleasure and wasted hundreds of years in an instant, he couldn't help but fell to his knees and burst into tears.
The monk from Beixian Mountain was not the only one who wasted half his life in the murals.
The mural with the portrait of a woman seems to have endless beauty, which can satisfy all the aesthetics and desires of the monks.
The monks who were trapped among them had made up their minds to exercise moderation more than once.
But unfortunately, there are too many beauties in the murals. If you can't favor them one by one, your heart will be as restless as scratching your heart.
Under the sensuality, these people's bodies are getting worse day by day.
More than ten years later, their hair became white, their bodies became thin, and they became incapacitated.
After being unable to have sex, the desire subsides and people naturally wake up.
In this way, many monks who were trapped in the mural of the woman's portrait also escaped one after another.
Due to lack of self-control, most of these monks have become useless, and their strength is probably only 10 to 20%.
Of course.
In addition to these people, there are also some people in the mural who are determined to seek the truth. It only took a few months or even a few days to escape from the mural.
These people are relatively less affected.
After being shocked, some monks couldn't help but ask: "Everyone, what is going on with the murals in this hall?"
"The ruins here are actually not 'ancient immortal ruins', but 'ancient Buddha ruins'."
The leading Buddhist monk explained: "The main hall where all the donors are located is actually an 'ancient Buddhist temple'. The murals in this main hall are the tests that those who enter the temple need to undergo."
"Only those who can let go of the world's glory, wealth, power and wealth are qualified to enter the deeper parts of the 'Ancient Buddha Hall'."
among the crowd.
After hearing the leading monk's explanation, some monks were dissatisfied and said, "Don't you great Buddhist monks keep saying that you want to save all sentient beings?"
"Since you know that there is a 'test' in the Buddhist temple, why are you the last ones to enter the Buddhist temple and let us who entered first to block the sword for you?"
"Logically speaking, as Buddhist cultivators, you should be able to pass the test more easily, right?"
"Amitabha!" The leading monk said in a helpless tone with a compassionate expression, "This matter is indeed something that is wrong with our Buddhism."
"However, we have more important things to do when we come to the Buddhist temple this time, so we can't lose too many people here."
"We had no choice but to let all the donors block this disaster for us. We hope that all the donors will show their kindness."
