Jiayin and others looked at him, and Jiayin asked with a confused look on his face: "What is the corpse forest? What does it do?"
Jiang Yuan explained: "Five thousand years ago, before entering the Langhuan realm, there were not only practitioners of the Taoist lineage, but also Buddhism and other sects.
According to legend, hundreds of thousands of years ago, Shengle, the one who conquered the three realms, uttered the "Om..." curse, which stunned all living beings in the world.
When all sentient beings awaken, they will see the image of the Lord of the Corpse Forest in the form of Shengle Yidam. The purpose is to inform all sentient beings that there is nothing eternal in the world and that people are subject to birth, old age, illness and death.
However, all sentient beings do not understand this principle of impermanence, so they indulge in unnecessary attachments, which ultimately lead to the suffering of reincarnation.
So the master of the corpse forest showed people that the final result of human beings is nothing more than a white skeleton, enlightening people to give up their attachment to eternity, find wisdom, and seek the great happiness of liberation.
The Lord of the Corpse Grove is the god in charge of the Corpse Grove, and the place protected and controlled by the Lord of the Corpse Grove is the place where corpses are abandoned in the eight cold forests.
Among them are the violent cold forest in the east, the dense industry cold forest in the north, the diamond flame cold forest in the west, the bone chain cold forest in the south, the laughing cold forest in the northeast, the auspicious cold forest in the southeast, the dark cold forest in the southwest, and the chirping cold forest in the northwest.
The eight sarcophagi are extremely sacred in their teachings, because they are the gathering places and worship places for Father Dakini and Mother Dakini.
Therefore, the Lord of the Corpse Grove especially protects the pure practitioners who are alone in the Corpse Grove and the practitioners of Kachoma Dakini.
According to records, the father of the corpse forest lived in the pure land of corpses. In the pure land, there was a square city of human skulls. In the bone city, there was a forest of corpses.
The Palace of the Skull and the Lotus Sun Disk Seat, with the father and wife of the corpse forest standing on the cushions.
The image of the father and his wife in the corpse forest is extremely terrifying. They are two humanoid skeletons without flesh and blood, standing on the conches and shells on the lotus sun and moon disc pads, making a dancing posture.
The skull of the Lord of the Corpse Forest represents emptiness, the human skull stick represents the destruction of the angry heart, the kabala bowl filled with nectar represents the wisdom of emptiness, and the five-skull crest represents all the siddhi achievements of birth.
It is said that if believers in their sect can receive the initiation from the Lord Protector of the Corpse Grove, they can increase their worldly wealth, escape from the obstacles of poverty, gain happiness and longevity, eliminate catastrophes, and be reincarnated smoothly when they die.
Practitioners who receive the blessings of the Master of Shida Lin can quickly achieve worldly dharma, and can eradicate many illnesses and karma, increase their happiness and longevity, rarely damage their wealth, and turn all bad things and bad omens into blessings."
Jiayin nodded and said: "In other words, this is a Buddhist practice place? Their hobby is really special, they actually practice in a pile of corpses..."
Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "You can also say that there is a big difference between Buddhism's practice of helping others in the afterlife and Taoism's practice of cultivating oneself in this life. However, the merits and the power of faith are almost the same. They are all obtained by doing good for others."
Jiayin blinked and asked again: "Then why didn't we enter the Langhuan realm together back then? Don't they need spiritual energy to practice?"
Jiang Yuan nodded, "Really, they need the power of faith. It doesn't matter whether the spiritual energy is strong or thin, so haven't you noticed that there are many more monks in the temples preserved in the outside world than there are Taoist temples and practitioners.
Although there is nothing they can do in the event of a disaster, there are still many mortals who believe in it, because they only need to burn incense and worship Buddha. They don’t have to be like us, who need spiritual roots, qualifications, and a wealthy partner to enter the path of spiritual practice."
Han Yunxin also listened attentively beside her. She felt that she had gained knowledge again. When she heard the points of agreement, she nodded in agreement from time to time.
However, she also had questions. When Jiang Yuan and Jiayin stopped, she asked: "Senior Jiang, how come this Buddhist corpse forest is in our Qingjiang River? Shouldn't it be in the west?"
Jiang Yuan smiled and said: "What misunderstanding do you have? Although Buddhism always talks about the bliss of the West, it is also the place to go after becoming a Buddha. Most of them talk about the place after death. This place of practice is not limited to one corner, it can be anywhere."
Just like that temple, it's not just blooming everywhere, it's said that it even blooms in other countries."
Han Yunxin nodded, "I see. Were the two sects equally famous five thousand years ago? Since this aura has little or no influence on them, does it mean that some of them actually have profound and powerful Buddhist teachings?"
Jiang Yuan shook his head, "Didn't I just say that what they cultivate is for the afterlife, and they will have supernatural powers after becoming a Buddha. When they cultivate, they are just mortal bodies, and their life span is the same as that of ordinary people. What is really powerful is theirs.
Scripture.
Those scriptures contain Buddhist teachings, which have a restraining effect on some evil spirits and ghosts, and can even kill some low-level ones."
Xiaoshan interjected from the side: "Is the space before that a Buddhist thing? The immortal bone in it is the master of the Natuolin?"
Jiang Yuan looked at him, shook his head and said: "No, this space should be a small secret realm nearby.
Back then, there was a Jueyun sect two hundred miles away from the corpse forest. The sect was filled with monks who had defected from other sects. It was somewhat similar to the previous one in Beisha.
The head of the Jueyun Sect is the daughter of the former head of the Jiyang Sect. She fell in love with a casual cultivator. If it were an ordinary casual cultivator, there would be no problem, but it turned out to be an evil cultivator.
Of course her father and the sect would not agree, but she insisted on marrying that man, and even stole the sect's most precious treasure, the Map of Mountains and Rivers, for that man to practice.
It can be said that she single-handedly caused the Jiyang Sect to be in a state of chaos, and the head of the clan almost went crazy because of her.
Later, the Qiankun Mountains and Rivers Map was retrieved, and she was expelled from the sect. I don’t know what kind of opportunity she got. After the practice was abolished, she actually reached the stage of becoming a god, and directly established the Jueyun Sect in Tuolin Mountain.
.
He also specialized in receiving those monks who had been expelled from their sects or families and helped them restore their cultivation. It was quite famous back then."
Jiayin asked curiously: "Then what happened to the Jueyun Sect? If we didn't enter the Langhuan Realm together, we should have gone to other secret realms."
Jiang Yuan nodded, "Yes, there is a small secret realm called You not far from Tuolin Mountain. Because it is not big and does not have any natural or earthly treasures, the major sects are too lazy to take it as their own, so it was taken over by the Jueyun Sect.
Occupied.
I heard that in order to prevent other small sects or cultivating families from coveting, she specially asked the evil cultivators within the sect to create non-transformable bones and guard them at the entrance to the secret realm..."
Jiayin looked astonished, "So what you are saying is that this small space is probably the one you are, and the one who is not transformed into bones is the one who was refined back then.
In this way, they should have migrated in together back then, but they didn't expect that the small space would cycle for thousands of years and use them as nourishment when it restarted.
And this non-transformable bone was originally a dead thing, so it escaped the disaster, but its ability was probably greatly reduced. By chance, I got the Xuanming Lamp, and it recovered a little..."
