Skanda Bodhisattva is the protector of Buddhism. He has a face like a boy, holds a vajra pestle to subjugate demons, and wears gold chain armor.
Majestic and imposing.
Standing in front of the statue of Skanda Bodhisattva, Monk Ma said: "Sir, scholar, I will teach you the mantra and mudra first, and then you can meditate in front of the statue of Skanda Bodhisattva. As long as you can successfully visualize the Dharma of Skanda Bodhisattva, , you can begin to understand the Vajra Armor Seal. As for the completion of the study, it may take three to five days, or one or two months, depending on your destiny."
Qin Shaoyou said in astonishment: "Three to five days? January and February? Do you have to walk in front of the statue of Skanda Bodhisattva to meditate and realize enlightenment during these times?"
"That's not necessary." Monk Ma shook his head and said, "As long as you can successfully visualize the appearance of Skanda Bodhisattva, you can visualize it anytime and anywhere without going to the temple."
"That's okay." Qin Shaoyou breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhu Xiucai urged Monk Ma to teach quickly, with a look of confused confidence on his face.
Qin Shaoyou shouted "Wait a minute", untied the gourd tied to his left waist, removed the stopper, and took a big sip.
He got the gourd from the third sister's house last night.
I took two in total, one for duhua tea and the other for demon bone soup.
What Qin Shaoyou is drinking at this moment is Duhua tea.
According to the introduction in the mysterious recipe, this tea can improve your understanding of Buddhism, and it can come in handy when learning the Vajra Armor Seal.
Zhu Xiucai didn't know this and just thought Qin Shaoyou was drinking water, so he said: "Are you nervous, sir? When you are nervous, it is better to drink less water, otherwise you will want to pee. When I first entered the Demon Suppression Division, After my first mission, I was extremely nervous and drank a lot of water. As a result..."
He stopped talking here and said no more.
"What happened?" Monk Ma asked with curiosity on his face.
Zhu Xiucai blushed for a rare moment and changed the subject with a dry smile: "Nothing, monk, hurry up and teach me. Everyone has finished drinking water."
Seeing that Qin Shaoyou had tied the gourd back to his waist, Master Ma stopped embarrassing Zhu Xiucai and taught him the mantra and mudras.
After the two became proficient in memorizing it, he took the initiative to step aside, leaving more space for the two of them.
Qin Shaoyou and Zhu Xiucai did not waste time. They stood side by side in front of the statue of Wei Tuo Bodhisattva and followed the instructions of Monk Ma on walking, observing and thinking.
After a while, Zhu Xiucai, who felt nothing, sat cross-legged on the futon.
After a while, Zhu Xiucai still could not visualize the Dharma of Wei Tuo Bodhisattva. Instead, he felt tired, his head drooped, and he sat on the futon and dozed off.
"I just told you that you don't have the wisdom. You still don't believe me."
Monk Ma shook his head and did not wake up Zhu Xiucai. Instead, he turned his attention to Qin Shaoyou, feeling a little nervous in his heart.
"I wonder if adults can successfully visualize?"
Qin Shaoyou's posture has never changed, so Monk Ma doesn't know his current situation.
In fact, at this moment, in Qin Shaoyou's sea of consciousness, the majestic and extraordinary image of Skanda Bodhisattva has already appeared.
The state of being even more powerful, coupled with the degree of tea, makes Qin Shaoyou one of the best states.
After meditating for a long time, I successfully saw the appearance of Skanda Bodhisattva.
Not only that, this Skanda Bodhisattva was still in Qin Shaoyou's sea of consciousness, waving the Vajra Demon Subduing Pestle in his hand, fighting fiercely with demons and ghosts.
Qin Shaoyou only felt that the pestle technique performed by Wei Tuo Bodhisattva was very exquisite. It could smash, chop, and poke. Even if the pestle was not used, it could be used on weapons such as knives and hammers. He couldn't help but look at it very carefully.
Finally, Skanda Bodhisattva finished using his pestle technique and stood proudly on the mountain of corpses piled up by countless demons and demons.
This made Qin Shaoyou extremely envious.
There are so many demons and ghosts...how many pages of recipes must be written, how many ingredients must be obtained, and how many delicious dishes must be made?
Before he could finish thinking, he saw Wei Tuo Bodhisattva glaring at him.
Qin Shaoyou suddenly felt like he was falling into the clouds, and the surrounding scenes suddenly changed.
Is this Skanda Bodhisattva still a food protector?
Before Qin Shaoyou could figure it out, Skanda Bodhisattva was gone, and the mountain of corpses of demons and evil spirits was also gone.
But he left the state of visualization and returned to Luohan Temple.
Monk Ma, who was standing by, noticed that he had finished his visualization and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "Sir, how was your visualization?"
"How's your visualization?"
Qin Shaoyou thought for a while, formed a seal with his hands, and recited the mantra.
A layer of golden armor immediately appeared on his body, but it was not as bright and thick as Monk Ma's.
"This... did you learn it directly?" Monk Ma was so shocked that his tongue almost tied up.
In his expectation, Qin Shaoyou would definitely be able to successfully visualize today, but if he wanted to learn the Diamond Armor Seal, he would not be able to achieve it in just a few days.
Unexpectedly, Qin Shaoyou learned the Golden Light Armor Seal without even using it for a day.
Qin Shaoyou was also surprised: "Monk, didn't you just say that even if you succeed in enlightenment, it will take three to five days or even one or two months to learn it? Why am I so fast?"
Monk Ma was confused for a moment and thought: "The three to five days and one or two months I mentioned are normal conditions for enlightenment. But learning Buddhist magical powers requires understanding. If you understand, you will naturally understand, and you will naturally learn quickly. Sir, you The fact that you learned so quickly only shows that your wisdom is much greater than I thought. People like scholars who have no wisdom will gain nothing and just sleep."
Qin Shaoyou nodded.
However, he guessed that apart from Huigen, the reason why he was able to learn so quickly was related to his powerful state and the degree of tea.
Seeing Zhu Xiucai still dozing off on the futon, he kicked him and shouted: "Wake up."
"Huh? Is it time to eat?" Zhu Xiucai said, rubbing his sleepy eyes.
After looking around, he remembered where he was and what he was doing.
Suddenly I felt a little embarrassed: "Why did I fall asleep? It must be because I have been too tired these past few days, and it has nothing to do with my wisdom. I will come back to enlightenment after I send the bones of Lao Wei and Lao Yao home. Sir, then we will come together."
"Sir, there is no need to come again. You have already learned." Monk Ma said with admiration on his face.
"Have you learned it?" Zhu Xiucai looked confused.
What happened while I was asleep?
Monk Ma ignored him and explained to Qin Shaoyou: "Sir, although you have learned the Diamond Armor Seal, it is just an introduction. You will need to practice more frequently in the future to increase its power."
"I understand." Qin Shaoyou nodded.
He finally understood why his diamond armor seal didn't look as strong as Monk Ma's.
It turns out to be a matter of proficiency.
It doesn't matter, just practice more in the future.
Tricks that can save your life are worth the effort no matter how hard you work.
There is also the pestle method obtained during visualization. It looks so powerful that Qin Shaoyou also wants to practice it frequently.
In addition to the Vajra Armor Seal and the pestle technique, this visualization also allowed Qin Shaoyou to touch the threshold of the seventh-level refining artistic conception.
He had improved his spiritual power a lot through the food of demons and ghosts before. This time, he visualized Skanda Bodhisattva, which made his spiritual power go even further.
When Qin Shaoyou was inspecting his harvest, Monk Ma stood by and admired him sincerely: "Speaking of which, sir, you are really fast at learning the Vajra Armor Seal. I was indeed right. You really have the root of great wisdom. Buddha is destined.”
Qin Shaoyou smiled and said: "Monk, you always praise people with these words. Can you use something else to praise me next time?"
Before Monk Ma could answer, a voice suddenly came from beside him.
"He is not wrong. Sir, you do have the root of great wisdom and have a predestined relationship with the Buddha."
The three of them turned their heads and saw a middle-aged monk standing in the side corridor, smiling and nodding to them.
Qin Shaoyou frowned slightly. He didn't realize when the monk came.
Although he was thinking about other things just now, it is enough to show that this monk has some abilities.
Zhu Xiucai said coldly: "There was someone outside the temple gate before who said that you have a destiny with Buddha, but he was taken away by the patrolmen."
The monk smiled and said: "That man pretended to be a monk and cheated, so he should have this kind of karma, but I did not lie. The three adults of the Demon Suppression Department don't need to scare me."
Zhu Xiucai was stunned: "How do you know we are from the Demon Suppression Division?"
The monk said: "The three adults have demons and ghosts on their bodies, which means they often deal with demons and ghosts. However, they are full of blood and energy, which suppresses the evil spirits of these demons and ghosts. Except for the night watchmen of the Demon Suppression Department, this kind of situation cannot be seen anywhere else."
Qin Shaoyou stared at the monk for a moment and found that he could not see through him.
However, the monk's attitude was friendly and he saluted the three of them. Qin Shaoyou returned the gift and said half-jokingly: "The great monk has a very good eye. But when you said that I have a fate with the Buddha, are you trying to persuade me to become a monk?"
The monk shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't intend to persuade you to become a monk. Saving demons and ghosts in the Demon Suppression Department is a way of spiritual practice to save people from suffering. It is much better than ringing bells and chanting sutras in the temple. I just want to tell you, if you have free time in the future, You can come to the temple and sit more often, maybe you can gain something else."
