The Demon Suppressing Tower is a world of its own, and there is no distinction between day and night here.
The Qin Yue brothers and sisters estimated that about a week had passed by based on the number of times they vomited.
During this week, the stone staircase leading to the lower level never appeared. Several powerful ancient monsters appeared one after another, and they were all easily killed by Qin Yue.
Qin Lan still underestimated the gap between himself and his elder brother. Except for my mother, there is absolutely no one among the holy ladies in Jiuyou City who can beat my eldest brother.
According to Qin Yue, he has already detected every plant and tree on the fifth floor. The conditions leading to the lower floor must be found on this stone platform, and it is impossible to find it anywhere else.
"Brother, maybe the stairs will only appear after we visit the Buddha statue."
Qin Yue slowly shook his head.
"After worshiping the Buddha statue, you and I will definitely be in a state of confusion. There is no need for Wanfo Mountain to harm our brothers and sisters in this way."
Qin Yue's determination was also based on his understanding of his former master. Based on that person's cultivation, even if he wanted to kill him now, it would be like trampling an ant to death. Since he guided him to break into this Demon Suppressing Tower, he must have a deep meaning.
After pondering for a moment, Qin Yue said in a deep voice: "It should be those runes."
Qin Lan agreed with his elder brother's judgment. On this stone platform, apart from the Buddha statues, only the golden runes are the most eye-catching.
In fact, Qin Yue had already guessed this. The reason why he did not delve into the runes was precisely because he understood what those runes were.
Those are Buddhist scriptures, scriptures written down by countless eminent monks in Wanfo Mountain over countless thousands of years. The purpose of setting up this level in Wanfo Mountain is self-evident.
Anyone who comes here, even if he doesn’t worship the Buddha statue, doesn’t enter the Buddhist gate. But after reading these Buddhist scriptures, his thoughts will inevitably be subtly influenced by Buddhism.
This is the conspiracy of Wanfo Mountain. They allow monks from all over the world to come and take the creations in the pagoda, but they never want the monks who take the creations to have evil thoughts and harm the common people. Therefore, they want to instill the Buddhist scriptures of Ten Thousand Buddhas Mountain into the passers-by.
Qin Lan frowned slightly after listening to his elder brother's analysis.
She asked: "Brother, do the monks in Wanfo Mountain think that the world's good and evil can be completely changed by reading a few lines of their Buddhist scriptures?"
Qin Yue's eyes turned to the statue of the Formless Buddha again.
"There is this Buddha guarding here. If we only read the text without understanding its meaning, we will not be able to pass the test."
Qin Lan suddenly realized. To pass the fifth level, you must have a deep understanding of the Buddhist sutras in Ten Thousand Buddhas Mountain. It’s not enough to read it all. This provides a layer of insurance for the psyche of those who enter the barrier.
In other words, only those approved by the Formless Buddha can enter the sixth level.
Qin Lan looked at his eldest brother. She understands her eldest brother's concerns. After reading through the Buddhist scriptures in Wanfo Mountain, all the thoughts in the hearts of their brothers and sisters will be affected by it. They may even have the idea of escaping into Buddhism.
After all, these are Buddhist scriptures from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Mountain and are not comparable to those in the mortal world. There may also be scriptures written by the two golden Buddhas of Wanfo Mountain. Those scriptures were enough to change the minds of these low-level monks.
After a while, Qin Yue spoke slowly, "I must pass the fifth level. If I choose to stay here soon, neither you nor your father will be entangled with Wanfo Mountain anymore."
Qin Yue has read Buddhist scriptures from Ten Thousand Buddha Mountain since he was a child, so he would never dare to underestimate this level. And he knows better than anyone else the unfathomable strength of his former master. If that person did all this to save him into Buddhism, he would not have the ability to resist.
If he is destined to be unable to escape the old drunkard's scheme, Qin Yue is willing to use his body to exchange for his father and sister to leave Wanfo Mountain safely. He made this decision from the moment he saw Qin Lan. He didn't want his sister to be involved in this cause and effect.
"Brother!" Qin Lan bit his lower lip tightly, "Let me study these Buddhist scriptures."
Qin Yue joked: "If you become a nun here, you will never be able to see that kid again."
"Brother..."
Qin Yue smiled and said, "How do you know these scriptures? My elder brother has been deceived by the evil man since he was a child. He is familiar with Sanskrit and Buddhist seals and has read many Buddhist scriptures."
Qin Yue touched his sister's long hair again. He said softly: "Help big brother protect the law. Drive away those monsters that come to cause trouble."
Qin Lan stared at Qin Yue blankly. Eyes slightly red.
At this moment, there are bursts of Sanskrit sounds between heaven and earth, and dazzling Buddha light emanates from the statue of the Formless Buddha. The Buddha statue seemed to sense Qin Yue's decision.
A slight smile appeared on Qin Yue's lips, and he remembered the divination that Qi Daozi in the Valley of Love made for him. He was born with the destiny of a chaotic demon. If Wanfo Mountain wanted to save a chaotic demon into Buddhism, I'm afraid it wouldn't be that easy.
Qin Yue turned into a red light and appeared at the bottom of the stone platform.
Soon, the few lines of Buddhist scriptures in front of him turned from gold to red.
The first chapter he meditated on was the Heart Sutra, a Buddhist sutra that Qin Yue had already memorized by heart. Once upon a time, the old drunkard personally explained something to him.
It only took a stick of incense for the entire "Heart Sutra" runes to turn blood red.
What Qin and Yue later understood were the Huayan Sutra and the Ullana Sutra.
These two Buddhist scriptures are also the most widely circulated Buddhist scriptures.
Next comes a Diamond Sutra.
The "Diamond Sutra" circulated in the world is a derivative of this scripture. The "Diamond Sutra" engraved on this stone platform is invisible to non-soul realm monks.
Different people will have different experiences when reading the same Buddhist scripture. The depth of enlightenment depends entirely on the Buddha nature and understanding of the person who comprehends it.
Enlightenment.
Whether it is Buddhism or Taoism. The emphasis is on the word "enlightenment".
"Enlightenment" does not rely on accumulation, but on sudden enlightenment at a certain moment.
If you can't understand it, then the Buddhist scriptures are just a collection of obscure words.
Therefore, the condition for passing the fifth level is the word "enlightenment".
Qin Yue can turn all the scriptures he has read into red, which means that he has his own opinions on every scripture. His "enlightenment" is obviously not the true meaning of the Buddhist scriptures.
In Qin Yue's view, Buddhist scriptures have no true meaning.
"All appearances are false..."
Qin Yue whispered to himself. He seemed to understand.
In the eyes of Buddhists, everything is caused by cause and effect. Every flower, every tree, every mountain, every stone is cause and effect. They will regard a person's cultivation as the gathering of many opportunities and causes.
Dependent origination and cessation are the life of a human being.
Qin Yue had heard of these Buddhist scriptures. After all, he was a monk who grew up in the East. Qin Yue has always maintained an attitude of standing on the outside and watching against Buddhist thought.
The land on which humans live is too vast. Following the old drunkard, Qin Yue has seen too much of the world. He knew that Dongtu’s thoughts could not represent the whole world.
In southern Xinjiang, people believe in ghosts and gods even more, because the ghost world is full of lonely ghosts who do not want to be reincarnated.
Ancient demons and beasts only believed in themselves. They believe that heaven and earth should be one with their own bodies. Therefore, they transformed themselves into the great avenue of heaven and earth by refining their bodies.
In fact, the whole world is like a scripture. Different people will have different perceptions when they read it. It is impossible to determine which person's realization is the ultimate meaning of this book. Buddhist thought is just an interpretation of this scripture.
I finished reading the Diamond Sutra. All the scriptures on one side of the huge stone platform turned completely red.
Qin Yue didn't realize anything special. He can still stand outside Buddhism and be a sober spectator.
Qin Yue suddenly remembered his former master. He was certain that the old man was a Buddhist monk. But on the surface, he doesn't seem to have anything to do with Buddhism. At least he didn't abide by most of the Buddhist rules.
A person who drinks alcohol, eats meat, and grows his hair can also become an eminent monk in Wanfo Mountain. This shows that the door of Buddhism in Wanfo Mountain is not narrow and open only to monks who eat fast and chant Buddha's name.
"Buddhism..." Qin Yue muttered again, and then he flew towards the other side of the stone platform.
