Qin Yue's guess was good. The sixth floor of the Demon Suppression Tower is the Nine Color Lotus Pond, the holy land of Wanfo Mountain.
The Demon Suppression Tower and the Pagoda Tower are combined into one starting from the sixth floor. The reason why Qin Lan's previous time experience was different from that of Qin Yue was because Qin Yue was already in the external space. Qin Lan's time was still calculated according to the rules in the Demon Suppression Tower.
Qin Yue thought: "It turns out that the condition for passing the fifth level is to comprehend the "Appearanceless Sutra". As long as you understand the Sutra and see the true body of the Appearanceless Buddha, this level will be considered passed."
"So my brother and sister also need to accumulate merit to save the world if they want to enter the seventh level?" Qin Yue asked.
Buddha Wuxiang said: "Those who obtain the seventh level of creation can reach the pinnacle of cultivation. If this creation is taken by a treacherous and evil person, it will definitely lead to great disaster. That will be the sin of my Ten Thousand Buddhas Mountain."
Monk Chenyuan performed Buddhist rituals and chanted the Buddha's name. "May I ask the Buddha, what is the merit of saving the world?"
The golden finger of the Formless Buddha flew up in the air and touched Chenyuan's forehead: "Idiot, reciting Buddha's scriptures, giving alms and freeing living beings, rewarding good and punishing evil, and rescuing the suffering are all merits. Why do you bother to cling to the word 'save the world'? What? If you have obsessions in your heart and behave according to appearances, how can you transcend the false self and meet the true Buddha?"
"Amitabha..." Monk Chenyuan recited the Buddha's name, achieving great enlightenment. "Disciple, go to the Golden Summit and face the wall to think about your mistakes." After saying this, he floated out of the lotus pond and walked slowly away into the distance.
Qin Yue's red phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.
Qin Lan pointed to the futons under the Bodhi tree and asked, "Does it mean that by chanting Buddha's name and chanting sutras here, we can accumulate merit and enter the final level?"
Unexpectedly, the Formless Buddha actually shook his head and said: "If Miss Qin wants to enter the seventh level, she can break through the Eighteen Arhat Formation first."
As soon as these words came out, Saint Monk Chenyuan, who had not gone far, immediately froze. He was lost again.
Qin Yue laughed three times and performed a lame Buddhist salute to the Formless Buddha. Then he took a deep look at his sister and followed Chen Yuan away.
"Brother."
Qin Yue turned around and nodded slightly to Qin Lan. He said no more.
Qin Lan understood that his eldest brother had entrusted him with the important task of saving his father.
Qin Yue passed by Chen Yuan. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly and he said with a smile: "Buddha, you seem to be the same as me. You have not been approved by the Buddha."
"How do you say this?" Chen Yuan caught up with Qin Yue and waited for him to answer his questions.
"The seventh level of creation is no small matter. The condition of accumulating merit for saving the world ensures that those who climb the tower have no evil thoughts. The Buddha saw that I had evil thoughts in my heart. So he asked me to meditate under the bodhi tree until the Buddha's Dharma melted away all the violence in my heart. Only after you are angry can you be qualified to enter the final level."
Chen Yuan's face was filled with pain.
Qin Yue's analysis is obviously reasonable. The fact that Chen Yuan and Qin Yue had the same conditions for passing the test meant that his Buddhist heart was not pure enough, and could not even compare to that of a little girl who was born in a cult.
Chen Yuan's steps became heavier and heavier. He raised his head and looked at the golden summit of Wanfo Mountain, tears glistening in his eyes.
"Amitabha, sin, sin!"
Monk Chenyuan would never question whether the Buddha's judgment was wrong. He was just extremely ashamed. I was so ashamed that I doubted whether I was qualified to set foot on the Golden Summit again.
Qin Yue stepped away. After he walked out of the Nine-Colored Lotus Pond, he stood up and flew down to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Mountain.
The countless Buddha statues and magnificent Buddhist halls below flashed rapidly in Qin Yue's eyes. On the countless paths leading to the top of the mountain, there are devout believers who follow each other like ants, forming a long and winding line.
Soon Qin Yue saw the tall Buddha statue at the foot of the mountain - Kasyapa Golden Buddha.
It is said that this Buddha statue stood here 10,000 years ago. Kasyapa Golden Buddha is the founder of Buddhism in the world and the founder of Wanfo Mountain.
As early as 10,000 years ago, Kasyapa Golden Buddha successfully ascended to heaven. And his Buddha statue stands at the foot of Wanfo Mountain, always guarding Buddhist disciples. The "Kasyapa Sutra" he left behind is still the highest classic that eminent monks from Wanfo Mountain study and practice asceticism.
Qin Yue fell at the feet of this ascended Buddhist master. He was also in awe of such a person. But his awe was limited to the cultivation of Kassapa Buddha.
As for Sakyamuni Buddha's more profound Buddhist thoughts, Qin Yue did not want to understand. He has always believed that monks must go their own way. Each ascended one has their own path. Others don’t have to copy it, and they can’t.
A low cough interrupted Qin Yue's thoughts.
He didn't need to look back to know who was coming. There are not many people in the whole world of cultivation who can appear behind him quietly! Besides, he was too familiar with this coughing sound.
Qin Yue didn't turn around immediately. He didn't know in what capacity he should meet the old man again. The fate between their master and apprentice has ended, but Qin Yue does not regard the other party as an enemy.
Because Qin Yue knew that with his current strength, he was not worthy of being the enemy of the old drunkard. In addition, he had been with the old man for twenty years. Twenty years of master-disciple relationship cannot be erased in one stroke.
"Cough cough cough..."
After a long silence, the old drunkard finally spoke first: "It was here that you sobered up. It was also here that I sealed your memory."
Qin Yue slowly turned around and looked at the sloppy old man he was most familiar with. I can't tell what it feels like.
The old drunkard's body became thinner and thinner. But his eyes were clearer than ever before. He is like an ordinary farmer who cannot be more ordinary. When he was tired from working in the fields, he would take a sip of wine to relieve his fatigue. But years of hard work left irreversible illnesses on his body.
The long bells from the mountains came down. Qin Yue's tightened brows slowly relaxed, and there was no expression on his knife-carved face.
The bell was not too loud. Qin Yue waited for the nine bells to ring before slowly speaking, "Why did you choose her?"
Seeing that the old drunkard didn't answer immediately, Qin Yue added: "It won't be so easy to break into the Demonic Tower. You let my sister in intentionally, right?"
The old drunkard didn't deny it.
"What exactly is your purpose?"
The old drunkard coughed twice more and said slowly: "Because there is not much time left in this world."
Qin Yue's brows wrinkled again.
"Qin Lan was able to comprehend the "Wuxian Sutra" in a very short period of time, which shows that her Buddha nature is extraordinary. Such Tianlinggen monks are rare in the world of cultivation. That's why Wuxiang chose her."
"Choose her..." Qin Yue repeated the last few words of the old drunkard in a low voice.
"Qin Yue, with your intelligence, you should have guessed long ago that you are the one I chose."
"But I can't figure out why Wanfoshan chose us Qin brothers and sisters?"
The old drunkard took a swig of strong liquor. Then he coughed a few times, stared into Qin Yue's eyes and said word by word: "In order to fight against the catastrophe of annihilation."
Qin Yue was silent. He had been with the old man in front of him for twenty years. In fact, he had already speculated about this, and today, he finally heard the old drunkard reveal this secret himself.
The two of them stood in silence at the feet of the Buddha. Time seemed to have stopped silently.
A sharp cough broke the silence again.
"Actually, the savior I originally selected was not you either."
"Is it my father?" Qin Yue asked.
A slight smile appeared on the old man's face. "Yes, but later I discovered that the savior was probably not him. So I chose you again."
"Huh, savior!" Qin Yue shook his head slightly. "I have no desire to save the world, let alone the power to save the world. You chose the wrong person again."
"No! Yue'er. I once told you that every cultivator has his or her own way. Although your way is destined to miss the destiny of the seventh floor of the Demon Suppression Tower, this does not mean that you are not a savior."
"If I'm not wrong, the creation of the seventh level should be "Taikou Tianjie", right?"
"In addition to "Taikou Tianjie", there is also a set of Buddhist scriptures from Wanfo Mountain - "Boundless Sea of Suffering", which also records eighty-one magical powers evolved from Buddhism."
Qin Yue was shocked. He knows very well what "The Endless Sea of Suffering" is. That is a profound Buddhist scripture written by the Wuya Golden Buddha in Wanfo Mountain.
In the eyes of Buddhist monks, there is no distinction between high and low Buddhism. However, there are differences in the strength and weakness of the supernatural powers evolved by Buddhism. Wuya is the Nine-vehicle Golden Buddha of Wanfo Mountain. His magical powers are naturally higher than those of the Eight Vehicle Formless Buddha.
Obtaining the seventh level of creation is equivalent to obtaining the true biography of the Wuya Golden Buddha, plus a copy of "Taikou Tianjie".
"The creation of the seventh floor of the Demon Suppression Tower is truly extraordinary." Qin Yue couldn't help but whisper.
