Chapter 214 Ten thousand temples hanging in the air are not as good as one temple
Not long.
Some of the people in the mist said with a cold voice: "The latest news, someone from the Yanhuang Alliance broke in."
"Oh? The one guarding the door seems to be a warrior from Wuyou Tian. I remember correctly, he is also a king. Has he been forced in?"
"I don't like variables. Whoever goes there, kills them and captures the sacrifice as soon as possible." Someone said coldly.
"Let me go." A young man walked out of the mist, with a handsome face and strange, breathtaking white pupils. There was a chill that condensed the air when he opened and closed his eyes.
"Well, let me go with you." Another person suddenly stood up, a woman.
"I alone am enough." The young man frowned.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not worried about your lack of strength." The woman smiled sweetly, "I'm just interested in the people from the Yanhuang Alliance. I hope it's Ji Anquan who comes this time. I'm very interested in him."
The young man said indifferently: "Yan Huang's name is also Ji, how dare you, the Celestial Girl Clan, to provoke him?"
The woman's smile faded and she said coldly: "Today is different from the past. Even if I go back ten thousand years ago, I would dare to compete with that person from back then. Otherwise, what's the point of breaking this taboo?
"Solve it as soon as possible." Someone urged, "We have wasted enough time. We must enter the Xuankong Temple as soon as possible, obtain the Holy Land inheritance quota, and enter the second sequence."
…
…
Ji Jingqiu looked up.
The mountain range in front of us is called Xuankong, which is the center of this holy land. The mountains are majestic and tower into the starry sky.
Standing in front of this mountain range, no matter who you are, you will feel your own insignificance, like an ant in the starry sky, the gap is too big.
This is the most majestic, majestic and magnificent mountain range that Ji Jingqiu has ever seen in his life.
Boundless, majestic and vast.
Ji Jingqiu frowned deeply.
In such a mountain range, the power of an individual is like a firefly, unable to light up the dark night, and there is no way to find people without direction.
From the mouths of the people he had captured earlier, he had already learned about the events that had taken place in the Hanging Holy Land in the past few days.
The original sharing became exclusive. Several forces joined forces and not only began to clear the area, but also hunted down warriors from certain forces. The warriors from the Yanhuang Alliance were one of the targets.
At present, the situation of Qin Qingjue and others is quite optimistic. Although they were injured in the previous battle, they escaped into the Hanging Mountains in time and hid their whereabouts.
He had just visited several teams and learned from them that they were also searching for the whereabouts of Yanhuang Alliance warriors, but so far there were no results.
Finally, under Ji Jingqiu's coercion, everyone signed a contract with him. At his request, they sneaked into the mountains to search for the whereabouts of Qin Qingjue and others, and were responsible for telling them the news of his arrival.
In addition, these people were also forced to protect Qin Qingjue and others when necessary.
After that, Ji Jingqiu followed the same example and found several teams of warriors who joined forces and asked them to enter the mountains and forests on his behalf, search for the whereabouts of Qin Qingjue and others, and spread the news that he had arrived in the mountains and forests.
Hope it has some effect.
In the end, Ji Jingqiu gave up his plan to go into the mountain. To save people, he did not necessarily have to find his own people, nor did he need to find his enemies.
Compared with Qin Qingjue and others hiding in the mountains, he felt that it would be easier to find these warriors from the Vientiane Palace, Wuyoutian and other forces.
They had met unexpectedly several times before. These people were either forcing some warriors from other forces to enter dangerous areas to explore paths and hunt for treasures for them, or they were hunting. They had regarded this holy land as their own territory and were very flamboyant.
"I'll give you a chance to get back on your feet and find someone you know who can come to me."
Ji Jingqiu dropped the warrior who had been detained at the entrance, spoke calmly, and allowed him to run away in embarrassment, while he sat cross-legged on the spot, with Master Qing across his knees.
Close your eyes and rest your mind.
After entering this holy place, he noticed something strange.
It was as if there were thousands of threads connecting him from the void, guiding him to a portal to somewhere.
Suddenly.
Ji Jingqiu opened his eyes.
I don't know when a path appeared at my feet, going to the depths of the mountain forest ahead, winding all the way. There was a light mist in the mountains, and I felt like I didn't know where the clouds were.
Ji Jingqiu felt as if he had entered a magical land. He pondered for a moment, but after not noticing anything strange, he went up and followed the path based on his feeling.
The end of the trail is an ancient temple. It is ancient and has long been dilapidated. The exterior walls are mottled with blue bricks and stone tiles. Most of the surrounding windows are broken, and some are entangled with vines, blocking part of the light.
The temple door was ajar, and Ji Jingqiu looked up. The hanging plaque was mostly obscured by vines and leaves. He couldn't see clearly and could only vaguely make out a few words.
Ji Jingqiu looked at it for a long time and confirmed that he could not understand it.
It’s not his fault. There are thousands of civilizations in the universe, and writing is the cornerstone of civilization. The Hanging Holy Land is a relic of the Huangtian Universe. He doesn’t even recognize the writing of the various ethnic groups in Jiuzhou today, let alone the writing of the previous era.
But it’s not a big problem, it’s okay if he can’t understand it, as long as Lajiang can understand it.
[Are you becoming less and less distant from me? 】
As expected, Lajiang did not become his translator, but instead sneered and mocked him.
Ji Jingqiu endured his temper, didn't mind ridicule, or even demeaned himself, flattered Lajiang, used this to enlighten her, and made great self-sacrifice.
He comforted himself, as a member of the World Honored One's lineage, if I don't go to hell, who will?
However, one thing he said was that he felt that the human side of Lajiang had become more and more "stable" and that he was no longer able to act petty. It seemed that the transformation plan of the God Lords was going very smoothly, but he did not rule out the possibility of a bad woman acting to paralyze him...
[When you arrive at the Hanging Holy Land, what else can you do? Naturally, it is the name of Xuankong Temple. 】
Even though he had expected it, Ji Jingqiu still couldn't hold it back and looked strange after getting the confirmation of Lajiang.
According to the information he had previously detected, the reason why those people were hunting Qin Qingjue and others was to perform some kind of ritual to open the door to the Xuankong Holy Land and enter the legendary Xuankong Temple.
As a result, I did nothing.
Did it find the door on its own?
It is true that all phenomena arise from causes and conditions, and no one can stop them when fate comes?
Ji Jingqiu used his happy-go-lucky mentality and took the initiative to step forward, trying some conjectures on the way. As he expected, the seemingly ordinary blue bricks and stone tiles were actually made of unpredictable materials. It was extremely difficult for him to do it even with his strength. Crush a corner and it's amazing.
No wonder this holy place has been able to stand for countless years and still exists, but it has also lost its former glory in the long passage of time.
He walked into the temple. Compared with the Hanging Mountains, this temple was pitifully small, but it was the center of the entire Hanging Holy Land.
The temple was not empty. When he saw a figure in the temple with his back turned to him, Ji Jingqiu stopped and looked solemn.
He was outside the temple before, but he was completely unaware of this person's presence.
The other person is not a human. Although he is wearing a monk's robe, his exposed skin is covered with golden animal hair. Looking at the back, he looks like a...
Golden ape?
A golden old ape who is always accompanied by the ancient Buddha with a green lantern?
Ji Jingqiu didn't know whether to advance or retreat for a moment. After seeing that the other party didn't turn around to respond, he simply began to take a look at the layout of the temple.
The inside of the temple is quite plain, or simple, and there is no clue that this is a holy place. Ji Jingqiu secretly thought that maybe this is the legendary path to simplicity, returning to nature.
On the topmost altar, there is a stone Buddha statue sitting cross-legged. There is a hole in the roof above the Buddha statue, and the light falls from there. The Buddha statue has obviously been polished by wind and rain for a long time, with pits and pits on its body, and faint traces of the sun are visible on its blurry face. Eyes drooped.
He sits in half lotus position, with his left foot hanging down, his left hand resting on his navel chakra, and his right hand hanging down touching the ground.
The strange thing is that this Buddha statue is actually the body of an ape. It is also different from most Buddha statues with lowered eyebrows and lowered eyes. Thunder God has a scowl on his face, like a fierce **** rather than a Buddha statue.
To be honest, this is the first temple Ji Jingqiu has ever seen.
Although the Federation has the inheritance of the World Honored One, there is no Buddhist temple. If we insist on speaking, there should be some under the jurisdiction of the Supreme True Buddha Sect, but the Mu family and the Federation have not built a temple for Mu Shuai.
In other words, Mu Shuai didn't want it.
[The temple is a prison, trapped in the four corners of the sky, and it is difficult for me to calm down]
This was Mu Shuai's attitude back then, and this attitude directly affected the federation in later generations. As a result, although there was a lineage of the World Honored One in the federation, no temples were built.
Seeing that he didn't find anything strange in the temple, Ji Jingqiu's eyes fell on the old ape again with his back to him, his head lowered, and his hands clasped together.
After a moment, he sighed.
It turns out this is just a body.
The old ape has long since passed away, and all that is left here is just a shell of flesh.
Ji Jingqiu looked at the temple with the eyes of Bodhi, but found nothing unusual, and couldn't help but feel a little confused.
So what led me here?
At this moment, he seemed to see the old ape in front of him stand up, turn around and look at himself, his eyes that seemed to have witnessed and accommodated everything in the world looked at him quietly, clasped his hands together, and chanted in a low voice.
It asks:
"Dare you ask me about Buddha..."
…
Interior scene in heaven and earth. The Bodhi tree swayed gently, casting endless clear light.
The protector outside the Pure Land stood up, clasped his hands, and looked miserable.
Even Hela leaned forward, as if she had seen something incredible.
[A...Buddhist war Buddha? 】
…
Ji Jingqiu's mind was shaken, and there were countless scenes in front of him, as if through the eyes of an old ape, he saw everything that happened countless years ago.
That is... the suspended holy land before the calamity and destruction!
It was completely different from the hanging mountains he had seen before—
There are tens of thousands of mountains in the Hanging Mountains, and there are temples on each mountain top!
Ten thousand temples are suspended in the sky, and the brilliant lights illuminate the night even brighter than the day. Countless believers walk through them, and the fire of faith burns on the mountains, like the infinite light.
Ji Jingqiu couldn't help but be shocked. Is this the real suspended holy land? !
There are thousands of temples, it is indeed the pure land of Buddhism!
What about the old ape?
He subconsciously turned around and saw a ruined temple, a young ape, and a half-withered Bodhi tree planted at the entrance of the temple.
The young ape broke into the temple out of curiosity. There was no Buddha or Bodhisattva in the temple, only an old monk who had passed away.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The young ape hesitated for a long time, unable to bear the curiosity, and stepped forward to touch the old monk. Unexpectedly, the old monk suddenly sang a Buddhist chant and instantly turned into ashes and flew away, leaving only a monk's robe. The young ape was so frightened that he stood there waiting for him. After calming down, I saw a futon, a wooden fish, a Buddhist scripture and a monk's robe left in front of me.
This Buddhist chant seemed to enlighten its spiritual wisdom. After that, the young ape sat on the futon, knocked the wooden fish carefully, and studied the Buddhist scriptures.
This reading is a hundred years.
From a young ape to an old ape, I don't know when it put on a monk's robe, considered itself a disciple of Buddhism, studied Buddhism every day, and refined its soul, which really made it a bit impressive.
During this period, it did not forget to water the half-withered and half-prosperous bodhi tree at the entrance of the temple every day. However, over a hundred years, the bodhi tree had not changed much, just like this ruined temple.
Until this day, the old ape opened his eyes and stared at the wooden fish that was suddenly smashed by it, with a solemn expression.
This scene is recorded in the Buddhist scriptures left by the old monk. This is a sign of an approaching disaster.
It looked back outside the temple and murmured:
"Could it be that a great disaster is about to occur..."
It was also on this day that it decided to go out to find Buddha and ask questions to save itself from the great calamity.
He took off his monk's clothes and walked into the Hanging Mountain. Seeing the numerous temples and the brilliant Buddhas, he was immediately overjoyed and danced, feeling that he was saved.
It couldn't wait to run up the mountains, only to see thousands of hanging temples, with bright lights and Buddhas with lowered eyebrows. They didn't talk about Buddhist principles, didn't talk about the emptiness of dependent origination, didn't talk about Zen, but only talked about eliminating bad karma.
They said -
Bad karma is the root of everything. If you want to eliminate bad karma, you must give alms, worship the Buddha, support the monks, donate money and land, and dedicate yourself. The so-called removing wealth and eliminating disasters, and suffering from losses and blessings...
There are thousands of temples on the hanging mountain, no place is not magnificent, no place is not a "holy place".
The old ape walked through mountain after mountain and passed temple after temple, but his expression became more and more dazed.
It worshiped thousands of Buddha statues, but no Buddha was willing to cross it.
Or maybe it hasn't found the real Buddha?
Gradually, it became doubtful. If the Buddha does not save people and wants people to save themselves, what should the Buddha do?
Finally, it returned to the starting point, the ruined temple in the mountains, and remained silent, in the company of the ancient Qingdeng Buddha, feeling that maybe it had read the Buddhist teachings wrongly.
It read the Dharma again, flipping through the Buddhist scriptures that it had already torn through.
After reading this, I don’t know how many springs, summers, autumns and winters have passed.
Until one day, this small dilapidated temple hidden deep in the mountains and forests actually welcomed guests, both Buddhist believers and refugees.
The old ape took them in and provided them with mountain fruits and water. He listened to their description of the scene outside the mountain. It turned out that a great catastrophe had begun. The powerful people in the world were fighting against each other. Also, they were invaded by alien beings. All life in the world was devastated, and the world was a purgatory. Even the gods and Buddhas in the sky have perished so many times...
Listening to their description, the old ape looked shocked and asked:
"Where are the Ten Thousand Buddhas in the Sky? Didn't they take action to protect the human world?"
Thousands of Buddhas hanging in the air?
Someone replied bitterly, "Xuankong Wanshi" is one of the countless "tycoons" in the world, and he is fighting against each other with another "Buddha Land" to fight for the future. How can he care about those who do not worship the Buddha, even those who worship the Buddha? There is no "merit" in the body, and no protection. It is just "material".
At that moment, the old ape came to the outside of the temple with a dazed expression.
It cannot see the miserable situation in the world, but it can see the Bodhi tree that has been watered by it for many years, but does not get better, but becomes more and more withered.
It's like the human world.
At this moment, it finally understood and murmured: "It turns out that this is the real infinite calamity."
Where did the great calamity begin?
It starts from outside the sky, it starts from within the sky, it starts from the human heart, it starts from the sky, there is no place where it is not a calamity!
It leaves the temple to believers, who go down the mountain again to witness the true immeasurable calamity.
This time, it traveled through countless places. Through its perspective, Ji Jingqiu saw the true immeasurable calamity, not the final scene of the end of the sun when all the worlds as many as Hengsha were destroyed, but the beginning of the calamity.
The most terrifying thing about the invasion of the soul ocean is not the virtual disaster, but the arrival of countless "evil heretics" as "pioneers", invading and subverting countless civilizations, and harvesting all the spirits of the world!
In the rolling catastrophe of the era, the stars were extinguished, the worlds collapsed, and the Imperial Universe was dying.
The old ape traveled around, silently rescuing those who could be saved, and sent them to live in the mountains and forests where the ruined temple was located.
But one day, people from Xuankong Wan Temple came to visit, smashed its temple, destroyed its mountain gate, cut down its Bodhi, slandered it and robbed the people of Wan Temple, and then forcibly took away all the refugees and sent them to the "Buddha Land" Serving as the foundation of the Buddhist kingdom.
That day, it seemed to be smiling and crying, and its expression was sometimes compassionate, sometimes solemn, and sometimes angry.
It stood in the dilapidated temple, looked back, and seemed to see Ji Jingqiu behind it, and murmured.
The voice was not loud, but it murmured clearly in Ji Jingqiu's ears:
"Dare to ask me, Buddha, that there are evil demons and fake Buddhas today, doing evil things, polluting my Buddha land, destroying my Dharma, distorting my scriptures, destroying my pure rules, and deceiving the people's beliefs...
What should be done? "
Until this moment, Ji Jingqiu woke up from a dream as if from a big dream.
He looked up and saw that in the temple that originally had no Buddha or Bodhisattva, there was a clay Buddha statue. It had the body of an ape, but it had a vajra-like scowl and never lowered its eyebrows.
That is the Buddha in the hearts of all people.
It is said that the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the temple all have their eyebrows lowered and their eyes lowered, and they do not look at the suffering of living beings. After seeing the suffering of living beings, they cannot help but want to save the world. Once they enter the world and save the world, they will also suffer and survive the tribulations like all living beings.
At this moment, Ji Jingqiu seemed to understand a little bit of Mu Shuai's state of mind when he left his words in the past.
The western sky is far away, and the temple is too deep. Only the heart of all sentient beings is the place of origin and cessation, and it is also the place where my heart is at peace.
If that's the case, what's the point of having a temple?
The four corners of the prison imprison my heart and the hearts of all sentient beings.
Buddha does not lower his eyebrows, I lower my eyebrows.
He seemed to realize part of Mushuai's mood in the past through time and space, and an unspeakable meaning suddenly surged in his heart.
He once again heard the old ape whispering in his ears -
[Dare to ask me, Buddha, what should I do if a great calamity is about to occur and evil demons take over? 】
naturally-
"Conquer the devil!"
The next moment.
The withered Bodhi tree that had been chopped off outside the temple suddenly started to shine again!
The old ape took off his monk's robe and put it on inside, strode out of the temple and walked into the mountains. On his face was the wrath of King Ming and the scowl of King Kong.
A ray of Buddha's light bloomed behind its head and appeared in the mountains. The brilliant Buddha's light went upstream like a waterfall, straight into the sky, and swept away the Mahakala sky. It shone brighter and brighter, becoming a truly infinite light, smudged. At night here, a holy and flawless white lotus bloomed at its feet.
The white lotus blossoms thirty-two, giving birth to the supreme war Buddha.
The angry face of Vajra shows boundless compassion.
And the roar of thunder that echoed across the mountains and resounded throughout the heaven and earth:
"Conquer the devil!"
"Conquer the devil!"
"Conquer the devil!"
That night.
Ten thousand temples hanging in the air are not as good as one temple.
There will be more later...
