Ancient Buddhism has entered the underworld?
Nirvana is everywhere, the incense is cut off, and there is no more true monk in the world. The majestic avenue is allowed to be seized by demons, and he is burdened with infamy for thousands of years.
How much courage and compassion does this require?
This answer sounds unexpected, but when you think about it carefully, it makes sense.
This is something that Buddhism can do.
For a time, Chen Luo thought of a lot.
As the senior brother and Chen Luo said before, although the human world and the underworld seem to be two sides of the same body, they are not connected with each other.
Except for the Buddhists in the Western Regions who can travel between the two worlds because of their teachings, the others don't know the situation in the underworld.
Even if he knew it, he would not be able to say it due to the limitations of heaven.
It is precisely because of this situation that in Chen Luo's imagination, the underworld is more like the private land of Buddhism in the Western Regions. It is surprising that there are many monsters and ghosts in it due to the spiritual light shed by the long river of living beings. However, it can be found from Monk Xiang's answer, Everything doesn't seem that simple.
Ancient Buddhism entered the netherworld, which explains why there are so many Buddhist Bodhisattvas in the Southern Wilderness recovering from injuries, why Buddhism has not had a war for many years, but its strength is not outstanding; why in the face of the strength of Confucianism, Buddhism in the Western Regions often makes peace with others and clearly covets the great power. The Thirteen Prefectures of Xuan are trapped to the west of thousands of miles of yellow sand.
Because Netherworld is also fighting!
But a new problem has arisen.
The teachings of ancient Buddhism also involve reincarnation. Why must we give up our ten thousand-mile road to the sky to open up a battlefield in the underworld?
What does Monk Xiang mean when he says, "If you want to save the universe, save the underworld first?"
In addition, even if Chen Luo is currently only exposed to a small part of the ancient Buddhist sect, he can still see that the ancient Buddhist sect is extremely powerful and why it has been entangled with the Western Region Buddhist sect in the Netherworld battlefield for thousands of years. Moreover, judging from the various performances of Buddhism in the Western Regions, it seems that there is still some strength left?
Did the ancient Buddhism become weaker after entering the Netherworld, or was the strength of the Western Region Buddhism in the Netherworld beyond imagination?
Or, did ancient Buddhism have other enemies in the Netherworld battlefield?
But no one can answer these questions, maybe even some of my senior brothers and sisters may not know.
"You have to look up at the sky and walk with your head down..." Chen Luo sighed. To this day, his six thousand miles of martial arts are still surrounded and protected by the thousands of miles of Confucianism and Taoism. The eldest brother's poetic swordsmanship is integrated with the Tao, and he still needs to continue to grow before he can learn more secrets.
"When the matter in the Wilderness is over, maybe we can be promoted to the fourth rank..." Chen Luo thought deeply in his heart, "After the fourth rank, it's time to plan a journey of nine thousand miles..."
"At that time, I can barely take on some responsibilities."
Chen Luo looked at the empty Xiangwu Zen Room again, clasped his hands and bowed solemnly towards the place where Monk Xiang disappeared.
"Master has worked hard to protect me for thousands of years, and I will always remember my love for you as a gift of treasures."
"Xiang Feitian is still alive in the Elephant Clan, and the younger generation will do their best to help him."
The words fell, but there was no reply.
But in the elephant house, the futon cracked, the wooden fish collapsed, the rosary released a faint golden light, and a voice traveled through time and space and came from the rosary.
"World Honored One, I am willing to die!"
"Children, guard the Elephant Clan."
"World Honored One, when can my disciples serve you again?"
"This rosary turns once a hundred years. After a hundred turns, it may be when we meet again."
The sound dissipated, and the light of the rosary also dimmed. Immediately, a slight sigh came out, and the string of the rosary broke. In an instant, the rosary rolled to the ground like raindrops.
Chen Luo was silent, slowly leaned over, picked up the rosary beads one by one, took out a brocade box from the storage order, put it away carefully, and then bowed again.
Then, a rope condensed with the breath of the elephant garden appeared in Chen Luo's hand. He pulled hard, and the figure immediately disappeared into the elephant house...
…
Dongcang City.
In Dayeling, there was a buzz of people.
At this time, Dayeling was no longer the Dayeling where Chen Luo had just arrived in Dongcang and could "pick up" everything. In front of the Wuhou Temple, there were many Confucian scholars talking and laughing, and no white people came and went. It had already become a holy place for Confucianism, and it was the place for all people who aspired to. It is a must-visit place for those in the art of military affairs, especially a military academy talent named Chen Qingzhi who comes here every day to worship.
In addition to Wuhou Temple, going deeper into Dayeling, you can see two abrupt mountains.
One of them has green pines and cypresses, soaring white cranes, white clouds wrapped around the mountains, and green water hanging on the cliffs. It looks like a blessed land of gods. This is where Daomen Martial Arts is located - Wudang Mountain!
The other one is a majestic mountain. Although it is not as elegant as Wudang Mountain, it still has a heavy momentum, which is Shaoshi Mountain.
As the only two sects in the martial arts academy that have exclusive dormitories outside Dongcang City, Shaolin and Wudang currently have the most students in the martial arts academy.
Although Wudang Senior Brother Song Wuji is still young, his several shots at Lunjian Pavilion left a profound impact on people. Now that he has entered the realm of martial arts, his future is limitless, and with the help of the Taoist sect, it is not surprising that Wudang Mountain has a great reputation.
However, the sudden rise of Shaolin is somewhat surprising.
At first, because of the bad reputation of Buddhism in the Western Regions, and the restriction that Shaolin martial arts requires one to first understand Buddhism, the Shaolin Temple is where Shaolin senior brother Adamo brings three or two big cats and kittens.
However, a turning point came after Adamo understood the two internal skills and mental methods of "Yi Jin Jing" and "Marrow Cleansing Sutra" from the book.
In the martial arts books written by Chen Luo, in addition to various martial arts, internal skills and mental methods also have their own magical uses. For example, the Tianshan School's Xiao Wuxiang Gong can transform the red dust energy to perform corresponding movements without mastering the internal skills and mental methods of the martial arts. Martial arts moves; another example is Nine Yang Magic, which has powerful healing capabilities and the ability to restrain cold and cold spells...
The Yi Jin Jing and the Marrow Cleansing Sutra are indeed the top internal strength and mental methods described in the book. Among them, the Yi Jin Jing can condense the worldly energy and make the foundation of martial arts more solid; the Marrow Cleansing Sutra is even more magical. , can actually repair acupoints, and can even harmlessly break through acupoints when they are closed!
In short, these two mental techniques can improve a person's innate martial arts qualifications!
The most representative one is Qin Yu, who has mastered the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. Because he avenged his family, he refined inferior blood essence and blood to break through to the sixth level. Since then, his own growth space has been locked, and his qualifications have been wasted.
However, after Qin Yu received the guidance of Adamo and understood the "Marrow Cleansing Sutra", he actually began to open up those acupoints that had been closed due to premature advancement. Although it took a lot of hard work, it was feasible after all. Suddenly this news Shocked Dongcang.
Is this okay?
You know, ordinary people still make up the majority in the world, and there is nothing you can do about things like innate qualifications.
However, "Yi Jin" and "Marrow Cleansing" can actually improve innate qualifications, which is simply unbelievable! Even though they clearly know that it is very difficult to comprehend these two mental techniques, they still cannot stop countless people from turning to Shaolin.
Then, as everyone continued to practice, they discovered the benefits of Shaolin martial arts.
This Shaolin martial arts is simple and unpretentious, and emphasizes steady and steady fighting. It does not have many requirements for the qualifications of the learners, and it does not deliberately pursue any natural treasures. As long as you understand the Buddhist teachings in Shaolin, mastering martial arts is just a matter of time.
Moreover, the Buddhist teachings seen in Shaolin are completely different from some sporadic teachings occasionally spread by Buddhism in the Western Regions. They are completely the mysteries of guiding people to be good, compassionate and solemn. Adamo specifically said that this is called "Zen Buddha" and was created by Chen Luo.
As a result, Shaolin was instantly welcomed by the people at the bottom.
After all, in the online games of later generations, any sect that can fight against Kryptonians as long as they are willing to fight will definitely be popular.
Today, Shaoshi Mountain is very lively.
Because two days ago, the master of the martial arts academy announced that one hundred Shaolin warriors would break through at the Shaoshi Mountain at the same time today and advance to the sixth level of martial arts realm.
This is also thanks to Chen Luo's promotion to the fifth level not long ago. As a martial arts clan, Chen Luo's promotion naturally benefits the warriors all over the world, adding a few points to the warriors' cultivation. Adamo and several The elders of the martial arts school discussed and exchanged the Shaolin academy's contribution for one hundred high-quality blood essences, which were provided to hundreds of Shaolin warriors to achieve breakthroughs.
Of course, this collective breakthrough is what Shaolin can achieve. First of all, there are many people in Shaolin, and one hundred disciples at the peak of the seventh level can be selected. Secondly, Shaolin's outstanding martial arts is a stable word, and such group promotion will be beneficial.
When the sun went down, people who came to watch the ceremony were already crowded. On the martial arts training ground on the top of the mountain, hundreds of monks were shirtless, showing their strong muscles, and they were sitting neatly on the field.
"Hey, where's Senior Brother?" Several young disciples in Taoist robes stood in the crowd, looking around and seeing that they were all disciples of Wudang Mountain.
"Elder brother is sleeping." Another disciple breathed, "Elder brother said that he is still young and still needs to grow, so he cannot delay his sleep!"
"You're still sleeping at what time!" A female disciple stamped her feet, "Senior Brother Adamo usually looks quite dignified, but I didn't expect that he would put so much thought into this gimmick. After this time, we will recruit students for the next season. Shaolin will definitely surpass our Wudang."
"Hey, I can't help it. It's too easy to get started with Shaolin Kung Fu. It's not like our martial arts. To get started, you need to learn Taoist skills first."
Several martial arts disciples were talking here, and on the other side, at the viewing table, several great scholars were also transmitting messages to each other.
"Oh, it's time for these people to catch up!" A great scholar sighed, "It is really a great blessing to be in the same era as the founder of the Tao."
"Yes." Another great scholar nodded and said, "When Confucius attained enlightenment, not to mention semi-sages, saints came one after another. Looking at it now, it's difficult..."
"What are you doing? You think a saint is like a leek!" The third scholar looked at the monks on the school grounds. "The great prosperity of martial arts is a great blessing for the human race. If the grand occasion of the Holy Saint can really be reproduced, our human race may be able to Get peace.”
All the great scholars nodded when they heard this, and looked at the school grounds even more expectantly.
At this time, Xiang Jixuan, the chief of the Wuyuan Town, turned into a blue light and fell on the school grounds. Adamo, who was sitting at the head of the monks, opened his eyes from meditating, stood up slowly, clasped his hands, and faced Xiang Jixuan. Jixuan bowed.
"Martial Arts Disciple, Shaolin Master, Adamo, pay your respects to Master Xiang!"
Xiang Jixuan nodded slightly, waved his sleeves, and instantly a hundred jade bottles appeared in the air and landed in front of each monk.
Xiang Jixuan took a deep breath, and his tongue exploded with spring thunder——
"One hundred pieces of high-quality blood essence and blood, all of which have the blood of the Barbarian King. I hope you and others will make great progress and make further progress."
"The ancestor of martial arts has a saying, Immortal, it is the mountain of the human race. I hope you can be the mountain that stands upright and protects the common people!"
"Don't forget, everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world!"
One hundred warrior monks stood up at the same time, bowed together eleven times, and shouted in unison: "The Buddha lowered his eyes, and King Ming raised his sword. The Shaolin lineage is willing to kill to protect all living beings!"
"Good!" Xiang Jixuan nodded, "Today, the martial arts month, the bright moon in the sky!"
As Xiang Jixuan finished speaking, a hundred monks opened the porcelain bottles in front of them at the same time, absorbed all the barbarian essence and blood in the bottles, and then fell into trance one by one.
"The promotion of Essence and Blood is still a bit dangerous." A Confucian scholar said softly, "I heard that if you want to fight the Lord of Essence and Blood in the soul, if you lose, you will die of violent blood."
Another female Confucian scholar also nodded: "I know a warrior who failed in the blood essence promotion and died directly. Speaking of which, using spiritual materials seems to be safer."
"Hehe, the cost of using spiritual materials for the same effect is much higher." At this time, a person dressed as a warrior entered the discussion, "Besides, if people in the martial arts are afraid of this battle of essence and blood, then why not What kind of martial arts are you doing!"
Several Confucian students did not refute the warrior's statement. Suddenly, a breath came from the school grounds.
"Someone succeeded? So fast!" Everyone was shocked when they saw a monk behind Adamo glowing with gleaming light, as if a circular outline was forming behind him.
The monk's movements seemed to bring about other monks around him, and several more monks suddenly glowed with brilliance.
As more and more successful monks became successful, a projection of a colorful avenue suddenly appeared in the sky.
"Martial arts!" Everyone raised their heads and stared at the colorful martial arts that seemed to be close in front of them and looming on the horizon. They saw the martial arts trembling slightly, and then the phantoms of the bright moon condensed from behind the monks, leaping out. Lift.
"This...is this a success?" A Confucian scholar present opened his mouth and sighed, "My brother was promoted from a seventh-grade Confucian scholar to a sixth-grade master. , can you advance. Martial arts only need to pass the battle of essence and blood to succeed?"
"Oh, there's no comparison!" Another Confucian scholar sighed, "My father said that the fog of our Confucian sect is actually a test of the way of heaven."
"Not only Confucianism, but also Taoism or Buddhism, from three thousand miles to six thousand miles, there is such a checkpoint."
The young Confucian scholar looked puzzled: "Then why is there no martial arts?"
"Martial arts originally existed." At this time, a master twirled his beard and said, "This test is actually called Tuitianmen!"
"But when Marquis Wu drove six thousand miles, he lamented how difficult it was for warriors in the world to shake the Heavenly Gate, and he made three great aspirations to blow up the Heavenly Gate of martial arts!"
"It is a great kindness to benefit future generations of martial arts..."
"So martial arts people, as long as they pass the battle of essence and blood, they will immediately enter the realm of martial immortals."
When the young Confucian scholar heard this, his face was full of admiration: "Blow up the Tianmen? Is this a lie?"
The master looked serious: "How could I lie to you? This matter was written in the history book by Mr. Sima Lie, the great scholar of Chunqiu Hall, and it was noted that 'I personally watched it', how could I lie to you!"
"Ah, Wu Hou is so powerful..." The young Confucian scholar suddenly looked starry-eyed and full of admiration.
Not far away, Xiang Jixuan's ears twitched slightly, and his eyebrows twitched when he heard the comments around him.
Did he blow up Tianmen to clear the way for future generations?
He was...
Forget it, just think of it as Wuhou Rende...
After all, that’s what the history books say.
…
Southern wilderness, vast wilderness.
Chen Luo yawned and continued to flap his flame wings and move forward in the air.
There was more feedback from martial arts, and he was a little closer to the fourth level. Chen Luo was a little satisfied.
After more than an hour of flying, the suppressed emotions when leaving the elephant room were completely released through Chen Luo's self-regulation.
However, after experiencing the Monk Xiang incident, Chen Luo took Xiang Feitian's request seriously.
Thinking about it, Xiang Feitian, who had narrowly escaped death, did not hesitate to reveal his identity in order to ask Chen Luo to help, and even agreed to send the Xiang Xiang across the river as a reward. It can be imagined that the bone horn he mentioned must be very important to him.
According to Chen Luo's understanding, the role of the horn is nothing more than two things, either it can help Xiang Feitian revive the Elephant Clan, or it can help Xiang Feitian take revenge.
No matter which one it is, since you have received favors from your ancestors, you must repay this favor.
Chen Luo would rather the cause and effect be cut off by him than involve Wen Yunsun.
That was a figure who was about to be canonized. If Xiang Feitian wanted to repay his kindness and crossed the river with a fragrant elephant and asked Wen Yunsun to help him avenge him, Wen Yunsun would most likely agree.
This is not possible!
Thinking of this, Chen Luo accelerated his flying speed.
You must get that horn!
According to Xiang Feitian's information, the bone horn was placed in a very secret place. It was a small universe called Such Realm.
The Such Realm was originally the place where the ancestral demons of the Elephant Clan practiced cultivation. With the shattering of the ancestral demon stars, the Such Realm lost its power support and may soon be integrated into the big world. But the good news is that because of the loss of power support, the entrance to this world is much easier to find.
According to Xiang Feitian's guess, the entrance to this world should be near the source of the Silver Sand River in the vast wilderness. However, Chen Luo looked carefully at the map of the vast land. That place was also very close to Elephant Valley, only about 800 miles away.
"Find the bone horn first, and then go to Elephant Valley to see the situation." Chen Luo made up his mind. To be honest, Elephant Valley was easier for him. They were just ghosts from the underworld. With Zhong Kui on his side and a professional counterpart, what could he be afraid of?
I'm only responsible for setting up the pot.
I'm just afraid that I won't be able to eat enough!
Damn it, why am I drooling?
Forget it, let Lao Zhong endure it a little longer and get things done first.
From the map, the source of Yinsha River and Xiangyuan are completely symmetrical. The distance to fly is quite far.
There is no other way. It is a matter of loyalty to others, so fly!
Chen Luo flapped his flame wings again and turned into a line of fire, flying towards the Yinsha River.
…
The vast wilderness.
Two red rays of light flew out of the white mist, landed on the ground, and transformed into two injured monster saints.
"Niu Qing, Niu Hong!" All the demon saints instantly recognized that these were the two great saints of the cattle tribe. At this time, a first-grade cattle saint in the cattle tribe's camp stepped forward, glanced at the two cattle, and nodded, "Just be safe. "
At this time, the great sage of the wolf clan said: "Two of you, who did you encounter and was beaten out?"
"Don't worry, I don't mean anything else. The situation in the Wilderness is a bit weird this time, so I asked."
Niu Qing and Niu Hong looked at the first-grade Niu Sage, and saw the other party nodded slightly. Niu Qing then took a step and said: "I received a request for help from Hongmei and went to the source of Yinsha River."
"We were defeated by the Great Sage of the Elephant Clan who was in the state of a dark elephant, and had no choice but to retreat with Hongmei in defeat."
"The state of the underworld?" All the great saints of the demon clan instantly looked at the great saint of the cow clan. A great saint of the tiger clan said, "Can you please transform into the appearance of the great saint of the elephant clan?"
"Of course you can!" Niu Qing nodded, stretched out his hand, a ball of blood condensed in his hand, and instantly transformed into the figure of the great sage of the Elephant Clan.
The eyes of many demon clan great sages present were focused. They had already seen that the figure that Niu Qing had transformed into was the elephant clan great sage who had repelled a wave of great sages before, and was identified by the peacock clan as entering. Xiang Feitian, the sage of the Elephant clan, has entered the state of underworld!
"The great sage Luanniao!" At this time, Feng Bugui opened his eyes, looked at the Wutong Forest camp again, and said, "Before, you said that Xiang Feitian was dead. This is the state of Hades, related to Xianggu."
"I didn't want to ask further, but now the situation has changed. I would like to ask the Great Sage Luanniao to explain to us what the dead state of the underworld is!"
After Feng Bugui finished speaking, many great saints once again focused their attention on the great saint Luanniao.
In fact, all the demons had doubts in their minds before, but due to the existence of Wutong Forest, it was inconvenient to ask more questions. Now that Feng Bugui has spoken, they have nothing to worry about.
"Yes, please clarify!"
"Exactly, a descendant of our clan has died, perhaps at the hands of this dark elephant. Please give me an explanation, please, the Great Sage."
"Just make it clear in a few words so that everyone knows what's going on, and it won't delay anything!"
Listening to the questions from many demon saints, the Great Sage Luanniao frowned slightly.
"I don't know much about the Elephant Valley incident!"
"However, Emperor Qinglong once mentioned that if the great master of the Elephant Clan has a deep obsession before death, and the spiritual light of the living being is protected by the Elephant Valley, he can stop the human world and enter the state of the underworld."
"Both life and death!"
"I only use the transformed image to judge whether it is really the state of Hades. As for other things, I don't know."
Listening to the answer of the Great Sage Luanniao, all the demon saints fell into deep thought. The state of life and death of Feitian, and then reminded of the ghost scenes shown in the painting by Qinglong Emperor Gao Tian, it seems that Elephant Valley is really related to the netherworld!
At the Qilin Domain Camp, Gantang also frowned.
Because she remembered that Chen Luo showed her a map of the vast wilderness, in which the source of Yinsha River was one of his destinations.
"God Xiang Fei, even if he is in some kind of underworld state, he is still a saint of the contemporary Elephant Clan. Can that kid handle it?"
"Why does he go wherever there is danger?"
"Headache."
