Chapter 342 Viewing Paintings in the Secret Cave(1/2)
"Senior Brother Shenguang, this move is somewhat inappropriate. This group of disciples are not yet strong enough in cultivation.
If you throw yourself into a cave, I'm afraid it will affect your future path."
On the high platform, looking down at the nearly a thousand monks who had just been selected, an old monk couldn't help but speak and said to the host in the middle who was wearing a brocade cassock.
The abbot was above him in terms of cultivation and age, but from the outside, he was an extremely young monk.
He has a handsome appearance, but the cassock that represents the position of host is draped on his body, which should look a little out of place.
But within him, there was a domineering and arrogant attitude that looked down upon the heroes.
Very different from the other monks around him, he held up his cassock.
As soon as the old monk opened his mouth, the other Jiedan elders also rushed to follow.
"Indeed, in the past, the opening of the catacombs was for outstanding disciples who had already ignited the lamp of their hearts.
And they are usually allowed to enter and explore opportunities before they go out to travel and seek opportunities for relics..."
"If the xinxing of these disciples is affected, they will eventually be unable to contain their inner demons and cause them to go on a killing spree.
I don’t know how much chaos will arise…”
"Once the rules are broken, it will be extremely difficult to put them back up again."
————
All the Danjie disciples were worried there, and they tried to persuade and explain its shortcomings.
However, the host refuted and analyzed them one by one. It was obvious that he had already prepared the draft and knew what questions they would ask.
"The cave is secretive and unpredictable. Even I am trapped in it, and I may have to be trapped for several days. It does not sound easy."
"But there are spirits in the cave, the formations of the ancestors are arranged, and they have worshiped in this temple.
As long as you can't hold on, you will naturally be teleported out, it's safe..."
"This may be difficult for them, but it is also a rare opportunity..."
"What I, Jinguang Temple, need now is the talents of heaven!"
After rejecting the persuasion of the elders one by one, everyone could tell that the host had made up his mind and could never change it.
It is consistent with everyone's impression of him, which is also the key to his selection as the current host.
I really hope that his style can wipe out hundreds of years of accumulated abuses.
Therefore, when the elders shut up, they may not really agree with what he said, but there was no need to continue to object.
Seeing this scene, the abbot of Jinguang Temple smiled with satisfaction, looked to the right and said to a middle-aged monk.
"Junior brother Huiming, I would like to trouble you to take these juniors into the cave and protect them at the same time."
Monk Huiming was extremely taciturn. Even when asked by the host, he just nodded silently.
He did not release other magic weapons, he just swayed slightly, flew out the inner lamp that he had practiced hard for many years, released the Buddha's light, and lifted himself up to fly towards the newly selected disciples in the audience.
Light and airy, without the slightest hint of fireworks.
The master of Jinguang Temple smiled slightly, also released his heart lamp, raised his finger and made a circle.
The Buddha's light gathered together and turned into a round mirror that was only ten feet square. It was fixed in the air and reflected the faces and figures of Xie Duanyang and others below the stage in every detail.
Then, the screen shattered.
The mirror surface was divided into thousands and turned into thousands of small mirror surfaces, with each disciple as the center.
On both sides of the high platform, the monks from various sects who came to watch the ceremony couldn't help but start whispering to each other when they saw this technique.
"The Divine Light Master's palm-light mirror technique has reached a state of perfection, and I have mastered the three flavors.
It seems that the Ran Deng method has made further progress and will soon create a Nascent Soul..."
"I have long heard that there is a secret realm in Jinguang Temple that is so mysterious and extraordinary that even the great elder of the Randen Buddha Sect personally praised it back then.
Unexpectedly, I can really see it today..."
…
"It seems like someone cast a spell to capture my breath and leave."
Seeing the middle-aged monk Yu Guang appearing in front of a group of new disciples, Xie Duanyang appeared to be consistent with the others and listened attentively.
In fact, in my heart, I was thinking secretly.
Just now when the middle-aged monk appeared, a powerful spiritual consciousness descended down along with a mysterious artistic conception, quickly swept over the thousands of new disciples, and quietly extracted the breath.
Except for Xie Duanyang, who had extraordinary spiritual consciousness, none of the other monks noticed it.
The energy in his body surged, and he instinctively wanted to resist and reject its intrusion.
But thinking that this was the main mountain of Jinguang Temple, he relaxed the cover and allowed him to take the silk out.
The opponent's methods are astonishing. Even if he is not the Nascent Soul Ancestor from Jinguang Temple, he will not be much weaker.
Xie Duanyang would not react differently to attract the other party's attention.
There won't be any trouble anyway.
Although there are so many monks in the Jin Dynasty and Taoism is ever-changing, some sects still have the so-called name-calling and cursing technique.
But just a breath of breath can't do much.
While thinking about the reason, Xie Duanyang also secretly sighed. Jinguang Temple seemed to be only in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, but it really had a profound foundation.
Whether it was the ability to capture the energy of thousands of monks at the same time just now, or the mind light escape method of the middle-aged monk, there are many subtleties.
It is far from comparable to the shabby settlement of Dalunji Temple.
"I don't know how long it will take for new disciples to receive these profound Taoist teachings after they start."
But immediately, his mind was attracted by the news mentioned by the middle-aged monk.
"Cave, what is this?"
Xie Duanyang frowned and thought, quickly recalling in his mind the many classics he had searched and read in Dalun Temple.
There is no clear result, except for a few words accidentally mentioned in an essay by a monk from Dalun Temple who did not know how many years ago.
I secretly felt sorry for my poor performance in Jinguang Temple and not being able to spend more time in the secret realm of the underground cave.
Otherwise, even if you cannot continue to practice in Jinguang Temple, you may not be unable to find opportunities to achieve relics after leaving the temple.
There were over a hundred people, all kinds of people.
What's more, there are thousands of disciples here, and some of them have outstanding backgrounds and are related to certain elders of Jinguang Temple.
At that moment, there were disciples who had the same doubts as Xie Duanyang and boldly asked the middle-aged monk about the existence of the so-called "secret realm of the underground cave".
In the past few hundred years, this part of the initiation ceremony had never been heard of.
It's a pity that middle-aged monks are not good at words or people who like to explain more to younger disciples.
Pointing his hand, he directed the Buddha's light and directly sealed the mouths of those who asked questions.
The middle-aged monk had a cold expression on his face, activated the light above his head, and released dozens of huge lotus flowers, which were several feet wide and were purely condensed by Buddha's light.
Each flower held up twenty or thirty monks and flew forward along with it.
After going around seven mountains in a row, I saw that I was almost out of the gate of Jinguang Temple.
This monk finally led the people and dropped them at the foot of a certain mountain.
There are tall towers and stone tablets all around. Not only does it occupy a lot of space, it is also the location of Jinguang Temple's stupa and tomb, where many accomplished Buddhist practitioners are buried.
To be honest, Xie Duanyang has never seen many serious monks after he entered Taoism, and quite a few died at his hands.
When I saw it now, I couldn't help but take a closer look.
Then I saw some clues.
The formation of the pagoda here is actually similar to that of the nine-story Sutra Pavilion in Dalun Temple.
It's just that one used Buddhist talismans, but this one used Buddha's corpse bones.
The monks absorb the spiritual ideas of heaven and earth, temper their bodies, and after successful cultivation, the physical body is full of spiritual energy, and in the eyes of demon cultivators, it is the best spiritual material.
Whether it is absorbing the essence of flesh and blood or using it to refine corpses, it has many wonderful uses.
Although Buddhism rarely uses such cruel methods, its efficiency is much higher.
As for the surrounding steles, towers, etc., they are also not mortal objects, but magical weapons, and the foundations are also high-level magical weapons.
Xie Duanyang even saw two or three artifacts suspected of being magic weapons, which were placed in the tomb.
Originally, magic weapons needed to be cared for and refined from time to time. After losing their original owner, they would gradually lose their power.
The successor must erase the original owner's mark and successfully re-sacrifice it before it can be restored.
However, most of the Randen Buddhist Sect, Jinguang Temple, etc. practice the Randen method, or other methods compiled and created based on it, which have the same origin as each other.
Coupled with the operation and nourishment of the grand formation, these magic weapons did not fall down in rank after the original owner sat down and were still shining with strong aura.
The handwriting is so great that compared with it, Dalun Temple Sutra Pavilion seems too shabby.
