Chapter 872: The Road to Buddhahood
With the joint efforts of the six masters of Pure Land, the monster corpse was nailed to the ground by them without turning too much waves. Even if the evil spirit spread out, it did not cause too much damage to them. They were all resisted by the Buddha light on their bodies. However, the next step of the terrifying thing appeared. The scream before the monster corpse actually attracted a large group of monster corpses deep in the ancient temple, and rushed over like a tide, drowned the Pure Land monks like a big wave, which scared Fang Xing and the others to change their faces...
The monster corpse was extremely terrifying. Killing one of them requires the three masters of Pure Land to join forces. Now that so many have rushed over together, it is simply a desperate force that can't resist it at all, far exceeding their ability limits...
I'm afraid that even the saints have come, they have to frown when they see this situation!
He didn't care about the sneak attack, fearing that he would be dragged into it, Fang Xing and others jumped off the roof, brought Li Hongyi and Han Ying, who had not yet woken up, used the ghost-blocking method to cover the breath of the group of people, and walked along the corner of the wall to bypass a group of strange corpses rushing towards the depths of the ancient temple, and sneaked into the depths of the ancient temple. Behind him, he could only hear the despair roars of the Pure Land monks...
The big golden crow carried Li Hong's clothes and flew fast in the air. The ghost kid carried Han Ying on the right, and the little monk Shenxiu was on the left. Fang Xing broke the back. The group rushed to the ancient temple quickly, but they were also preventing the sudden change. According to the big golden crow, those monster corpses were not only terrifying, but their evil aura was even more difficult to deal with. If they touched a little, they would follow like shadows and be difficult to get rid of. However, after eating nearly a hundred Bodhi fruits, they had not yet refined one hundred times, and they were already covered in golden light. Not to mention touching the monster corpses, even if they were eaten, they would not have evil aura.
It is precisely because of this guy's head, and Li Ying is also very good. According to him, he is a ghost body of nine generations and is not afraid of these evil spirits and other things. For others, this and even the evil spirits are tantamount to him, but even his cultivation has been greatly improved after entering this ancient temple. If it weren't for the fact that the monster corpse itself was also an extremely difficult existence to deal with, he would have wanted to stay in this ancient temple forever to practice. The strange ancient temple is really no less than a place for him to be a blessing in the immortal family...
Fang Xing and Shen Xiu. One is the Buddha's son in Lingshan and the other is the Vajra of the Dharma Protector, which is enough to resist evil spirits. As for others, it has nothing to do with cultivation. It is extremely difficult to resist this evil spirit, so they can only protect it in the middle and move forward together...
The ancient temple is extremely vast, and it is unknown how far it extends from front, back, left and right. If it is explored, it will not be completed in a short time. However, Da Jinwu and others have been in for a long time and have almost explored the terrain of the ancient temple, saving a lot of trouble and rushed directly to the depths of the ancient temple. Fortunately, most of the strange corpses were led by monks from the Pure Land area at this time, which made them much safer.
"I've seen these strange corpses before..."
Fang Xing looked at the monster corpses that had emerged from the darkness along the way, and his heart began to think about it.
Although these strange corpses had strange appearances, he felt a little familiar. He soon remembered a picture he saw in the illusion mirror while searching for Da Jinwu and others: The white-clothed Bodhisattva killed demons and could not become a Buddha without saving the people!
The monsters in that illusion were somewhat similar to these monster corpses. However, compared to these monsters, they were spiritual and much smaller than these monster corpses, but they were much stronger. If we had to consider the relationship inside, these monster corpses looked like the kind of ghosts that grew from the corpses after the demon died, just like humans and corpses demons, the same species but different!
"What is this ghost coming from? It's not like the creatures in the world..."
Fang Xing frowned tightly, and was shocked and suspicious, and he felt confused.
"It's here..."
After a tense and rapid movement, I walked through many corridors and bypassed many Buddhist temples, and I didn’t know how many strange corpses I avoided on the way. Finally, I could barely find a hall where the hall was located. This hall was located in the middle line of the ancient temple. In the eyes of Fang Xing and others, if the ancient temple was a square layout, then the location of this ancient temple should be facing the gate, which was extremely majestic. The pillars were hundreds of feet high, and the top was almost invisible. A vermilion gate was mottled and decayed, half-covered.
On both sides of the hall, there should have been two Buddhas' visits, but at this time the wind was severely eroded and could not be distinguished. Only words such as "sentient beings", "becoming a Buddha", "other shore", "freedom" could be vaguely seen. They could no longer be combined into sentences, so they could only secretly guess the meaning of it...
"... All sentient beings suffer, what's the use of becoming a Buddha? I can see the other shore with one mind and not pass it through!"
However, Shen Xiu saw such a couplet and pondered for a while, but suddenly his expression was shocked and he murmured and said, "The Buddha's Journey to Come."
"What's the meaning?"
Fang Xing and others looked at him in surprise, and Shen Xiu seemed to have thoughts and explained: "These two words of Buddha's visit were left by my Buddhist Ksitigarbha Master. It is said that Ksitigarbha Master should have been the third generation of Buddha, but he ultimately failed to become a Buddha. According to legend, he was at that time and had reached the realm of becoming a Buddha. Even the ancient temple that traveled him to the West to become a Buddha and became a ancestor had already landed in front of him. However, he looked at the West and was a pure land. If he jumped through it, he could attain tranquility.
Looking behind him, he saw that sentient beings were ignorant and obsessed with the sea of suffering. He left these two sentences on the ancient temple, meaning that sentient beings are suffering, and it is useless for me to become a Buddha alone. If I am the only one in the world, I can become a Buddha freely, then even if I see the other shore, I will not want to go there alone. After that, he made a great wish that he would not become a Buddha without saving sentient beings. Therefore, the position of the third generation of Buddha in Buddhism is vacant. Master Ksitigarbha has not yet become a Buddha..."
As he said himself, his face gradually changed: "Fu Ye appeared here, is it... this is the legendary ancient temple of Guizhi?"
"What's the ancient temple in Guiyan?"
Fang Xing wanted to go up and beat Shen Xiu up and let the bald donkey speak more carefully.
"The ancient temple is the ancient road before becoming a Buddha. Some people also call it the road to becoming a Buddha, or the bridge on the other side!"
The little monk Shenxiu's eyebrows became more and more serious: "According to legend, ten thousand years ago, whenever a monk cultivated the fruit of Tao, he would have spiritual flowers from heaven, and the magical meaning of the immortal sound. The ancient temple appeared from the void. As long as he entered the ancient temple and passed this path to becoming a Buddha, he could reach the other side of the Pure Land and obtain the Great Freedom Buddha Fruit... This Pure Land is not the Pure Land on the other side of the Demon Abyss, but the real Buddhist immortal land in the West Heaven... But for thousands of years, the Buddha's fruit has not been settled, and the Dharma-Ending Destiny has arrived, and the ancient temple has not appeared for ten thousand years..."
Shen Xiu said blankly, and a panic suddenly appeared in his eyes: "Senior Brother, it seems that Senior Brother Huineng is really a Buddhist son. If I helped him get the Buddha's fruit at that time, the Guigui Ancient Temple would definitely come to him and pass him to the west to become a Buddha and ancestor. It was just because you saved me that such variables appeared again... But how could Guigui Ancient Temple be here? There are so many demons?"
"How can I know this?"
Fang Xing glared at the hall, then looked at the main hall, and thought of a question. His eyes lit up slightly, and he said with the little monk's head: "Don't talk to me otherwise. Did you just say that you can become a Buddha by passing this path?"
Shen Xiu was stunned and said, "Yes!"
The big golden crow also came over and interrupted: "Isn't this the same way as the road leading to the Golden Palace in the mortal world? If you go up, you will be the emperor?"
Shen Xiu was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly, "It's okay to say this!"
Fang Xing immediately became polite and slapped Shen Xiu on the back of the head: "Then why are you talking about? Go quickly!"
"You must have someone with the highest Buddhist principles to follow the ancient road. If you don't do this, you can't pass this road..."
Shen Xiu covered her head and explained with a bitter face.
Dajin understood and pondered: "Oh, it's like the Emperor who can only enter the Golden Palace. If he doesn't have the ability, he will be a eunuch!"
"You're talking too much!"
Fang Xing kicked the big golden crow aside and said to Shenxiu solemnly: "Junior brother, listen to me, your Buddhism is already very powerful. Then don't worry about the Buddhist sons in the Bi'an Temple. Maybe they have been torn apart by the monster corpse. There are only two princes in the Buddhist temple. So who must have passed this road first and who is the emperor. Don't listen to Jin Liuzi's nonsense. I'll send you over and rob the position of Buddha!"
"I……"
Shenxiu was hesitant and seemed to have lacked confidence.
"Little monk, you really have to go this path!"
At this time, Li Ying stood up and said solemnly: "My sister and I have explored this ancient temple before, and found that it is not easy to leave here. The only passage is probably this ancient road. Unfortunately, the step-by-step Zen technique on this road is not deep, and it is impossible to get through it. My sister has studied Buddhist scriptures, but she has only passed three levels. If you are, you should be able to find a way to rescue us through this ancient road, otherwise we can only be trapped here, and we don't know when to be trapped and what will happen..."
When such a realistic problem was involved, Shen Xiu's expression became solemn. After a long time, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go!"
There were still four or five strange corpses in front of the Guizhi Hall, but there was not a single one within a hundred feet outside the Guizhi Hall. It seemed that in the hall, there was a certain divine aura that forced these monster corpses to dare to approach. Fang Xing and others covered their breath and did not fight with the monster corpses directly. But at this time, they had to rush over. No matter how difficult these monster corpses were, they had to fight with them. Only by sending Shenxiu into the hall and embarking on the road to becoming a Buddha would they have hope of leaving this ancient temple.
"I have the Dharma to protect my body, first lead them away, and then Jin Liuzi took them to rush over with a quick speed!"
After a brief discussion, he decided to make a strategy. Fang Xing carried the small tripod and flew out. The two sword demon wings spread out, floating majestic in the air, shouting at the monster corpses in front of the ancient palace: "Monsters, do you want to eat my master's flesh?"
The monsters in front of the hall were stunned for a while, and after a while, they chased Fang Xing with a violent aura.
"Damn it, really..."
Fang Xing turned around and ran away, his big wings spread out, like lightning, and he did not forget to turn around and curse while running.
"Oh, in ancient times, there was a Buddha who cut his flesh and feeds the eagle, and now there is Senior Brother Fang Xing who sacrifices himself to seduce demons. It's really admirable..."
The little monk Shenxiu shook his head and sighed, feeling deeply moved.
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up!"
