Chapter 502: Immortals and Buddhas Are Shrouded in Skins
Chapter 502 Immortals and Buddhas are all wrapped in skins
The pungent smell of the corpses on the ground immediately attracted crows circling above.
The twisted limbs were entangled with each other, and the still alive Kongdong Man could be seen breathing heavily, but the blood foam on his mouth and nose indicated that he was dying.
The monks around him were solemn and reciting scriptures meticulously, which formed an extremely absurd contrast with the bloody scene.
The selected Buddhist disciples of Kongdong were forcibly placed in front of the Arhat sitting on a deer, with golden light scattered, to receive the infusion of the energy of the sitting deer Buddha.
"Amitabha……"
A Kongdong man named Huang Ming gradually deviated from his humanity under the influence of Buddha's aura, and his sad expression turned into a passion for Arhat sitting on a deer.
He could resist the Buddha's energy at first, but how could his mortal body resist the immortal Buddha's energy?
In Huang Ming's eyes, the corpses on the ground suddenly stood up, wearing cassocks and showing compassion on their faces, and then souls emerged and floated towards the Western Paradise in mid-air.
The hatred in his heart was completely relieved, and it turned out that killing for gain was to save all sentient beings.
Huang Ming had a dull smile on his face. Just when he was about to accept the energy of the Sitting Deer Buddha, his consciousness suddenly fell into boundless darkness.
He couldn't help but feel confused. Wasn't he just in his own ordination ceremony?
According to the enlightened monk of Inspiration Temple, as long as he can be recognized by the Arhat Sitting on a Deer, he will be able to sit under the throne of the Buddha after his death.
Huang Ming waited for a long time, and his throbbing mood gradually calmed down.
At this time, a figure made of twisted light appeared. Huang Ming was frightened and could only recite the name of Arhat Sitting on a Deer.
He thought it was an inner demon recorded in Buddhist scriptures. If he could not overcome it during an encounter, he would become a demon and fall into the eighteenth level of hell after death.
Huang Ming forced himself to look at the figure, and silently recited "Everything is false", trying to wake up his consciousness, but he heard the figure speak.
"Huang Ming, are the things in your eyes real?"
Huang Ming was stunned and looked up in disbelief.
He found that the "inner demons" were constantly changing, from Arhat sitting on a deer to the Great Merciful Maitreya Bodhisattva, or to the Precious Buddha, and even the three ancestors were not left behind, which was shocking.
Huang Ming's spirit was on the verge of collapse, and his consciousness screamed incredulously: "How could it be so real? I have never seen the Buddha in the classics at all. It's impossible..."
Ren Qing used the influence of the toe separation technique on dreams to quietly invade Huang Ming's Niwan Palace: "Open your eyes, Huang Ming, open your eyes..."
The reason why he took action was because there was indeed something wrong with Sitting Deer Buddha Qi.
Under the protection of the monks, in addition to the statue possessed by Ren Qing, there was also a palm-sized box, which contained the strongest Buddhist aura.
Ren Qing could sense that part of the Sitting Deer Buddha's energy should be sealed in the box, but for some unknown reason, the rest of the Buddha's energy showed no response.
Huang Ming woke up from a trance. The outside world had only passed for a few breaths, but he seemed to be in a dream, experiencing hundreds of years.
He instinctively looked around again, his pupils couldn't help but shrink to the size of a pinhole, and his feet that were kneeling on the ground couldn't help but tremble.
There is no such thing as a Western paradise, Buddhism... only a bad land.
Huang Ming saw the souls of his compatriots being swallowed up by the Buddha's energy that filled the sky, and their twisted faces were filled with despair and the desire to survive.
"help me……"
"kill me……"
The long river composed of Buddha Qi is actually filled with tens of thousands of terrifying souls.
Huang Ming laughed uncontrollably, causing dozens of monks to gather around him and look at him with murderous intent in their eyes.
Ren Qing sighed, immortals and Buddhas are all at a point of no return. Living in this world, if you are unlucky, you will not be able to control even life and death.
Huang Ming was agitated, and the fear in his heart was occupied by survival.
Because he knew that once the body dies, it will not even be qualified to be scattered, and will definitely turn into the bones behind the Buddha.
Huang Ming kept calling for help in his heart, and fell into darkness again before the monk came closer.
Ren Qing became more unscrupulous after testing the spirit of the Sitting Deer Buddha, and took advantage of the dream world's close proximity to pull Huang Ming directly into the dream city.
Huang Ming came to the mid-air of Mengcheng, saw the town with blooming flowers, and heard the sound of the Cishi people reciting scriptures during morning classes.
Unknowingly, the fear and anxiety gradually receded, leaving only calm as water.
It was also Ren Qing's first time to use the Toe Lifting Technique to change other people's minds. Unexpectedly, he still underestimated the power of this method of ascending to immortality.
He specifically waited for the Buddhist aura to turn Huang Ming into a fanatical believer, but still easily destroyed his cognition and then reshaped it.
Not only did Huang Ming abandon his belief in the Arhat Sitting on a Deer, he also hated the Buddha and longed for the Dream City.
When Ren Qing used the toe separation technique, the distance spanned tens of thousands of miles.
And the most terrifying thing about the toe separation technique is that it can use the influence of dreams to cause the target of the technique to suffer from various diseases.
If Huang Ming feels that he is infected with cold in his dream, his body will also suffer from physical problems.
This is the core element that constitutes the toe separation technique. "Diseases originate from dreams and control the dreams of the world."
Ren Qing planned to develop Huang Ming into an informant, and no longer had to communicate with Song Zongwu's remnant soul, so he let a little dream flower come to his Niwan Palace.
The contents of the Maitreya Diamond Sutra of Great Compassion flooded into Huang Ming's mind, along with the types of stone diseases and some weak Buddhist energy.
[The Great Merciful Maitreya Diamond Sutra]
[Created by Ren Qing, it is suitable for stone diseases. It can gradually turn skin and flesh into metal. After it is completed, it can be used to enter the diamond body. 】
Huang Ming trembled uncontrollably. By the time Menghua disappeared, his body had adapted to the infusion of the Buddha's energy from Arhat Sitting on a Deer.
His skin and flesh transformed into a brass color, and Buddha energy flowed throughout his body from his pores.
The monks at the Inspiration Temple looked rosy and looked at Huang Ming with many kind eyes, thinking that they had discovered the hope of inheriting the fruitful position.
Huang Ming's expression returned to calm, and his bones made crisp sounds.
Under the watchful eyes of the monks, his deformed limbs and body returned to normal, and he suddenly became a skinny man over three meters tall.
Huang Ming clasped his hands together and responded to the monk's expectations: "Here is the Arhat sitting on a deer."
In fact, in his heart he only hated the Sitting Deer Arhat, and he could still see the dreamlike town in a daze.
There are countless monks walking through the dream city, and there is also a temple dedicated to the Buddha. The Buddha in the main hall has a vague resemblance to his figure.
Although the monks had no taboos, they exuded the aura of the Maitreya Diamond Sutra and had no trace of the Buddhist aura at all.
Huang Ming established the path in his dream, and he no longer felt any hesitation.
"I was summoned by the Venerable Sitting Deer, and the Buddha asked us to gather the believers."
Huang Ming said without sadness or joy, and the other monks did not doubt it. After all, the other monk could master the Buddha's energy just after receiving the ceremony.
If nothing else, Huang Ming will be the next Arhat sitting on a deer.
Ren Qing saw that Lingyin Temple's movements were not unexpected, and then he withdrew his consciousness and asked Junhun to pay attention to Huang Ming's situation at any time.
He did not rush to guide Lingyin Temple to Xiangxiang. After all, there was a layout of the unknown ascetic, and the trouble was not the energy of the sitting deer Buddha.
But how to peel off Song Zongwu's soul? There are tens of thousands of souls in the Buddha's aura. Just thinking about it makes my scalp numb.
Ren Qing is also very curious about Buddhism's fruition status, and does not know how it is different from the immortal status. He hopes to understand the reality of the ancient Buddha of Ran Deng and prepare for the future when Buddhism enters troubled waters.
He narrowed his eyes and suddenly thought of the Great Compassionate Maitreya Bodhisattva he had met before.
It seems that only when the Buddha energy feels threatened, it will actively release the soul. The Arhat status should be more rigid than the Bodhisattva status.
Ren Qing did not immediately deploy any means to target the energy of the Sitting Deer Buddha, but instead found a secluded cave to practice in seclusion.
He originally wanted to wait for most of the cracks in the heavenly path to recover before being promoted, but now it seems that he should break through the world in his stomach to the ladder of immortality as soon as possible.
Ren Qing needs to fill the rules of the restricted area with strange objects and refine war equipment to lay the foundation for the future battle between true immortals.
Especially in the Immortality Forbidden Zone, it is obviously not enough to have only one tomb inside.
Ren Qing closed his eyes and meditated, taking advantage of this period of time to let the Inspiration Temple collect people to expand the ecology of the world in his stomach.
He could vaguely sense that Taotie Fa's immortal position was very involved. More people would have both advantages and disadvantages, and the Jailer's Hall also needed backup force.
During the period of Ren Qing's seclusion, Jingzhou was still shaken by the earth and the mountains, and the area of the swampy desert was gradually reduced unknowingly because there was no body of the meat-and-wine Taoist priest sitting there.
Only Xiangxiang is full of vitality, but the endless forest to the south is showing a trend of expansion, but the speed is not obvious.
Ren Qing focused all his energy on sorting out the methods of ascending to immortality and ignored the outside world.
In order to become an immortal, he must be careful. If he is not careful, his soul will be scattered and his body will be dead.
Time flies by like a fleeting moment.
It is difficult to feel the traces left by time in the world in the stomach. After the popularization of spiritual practice, people have long been freed from the fifty-year death limit between heaven and man.
Fireworks bloom in the sky over the town, which also represents the arrival of the Spring Festival again.
The customs of various ethnic groups are different, and even their languages are different, but no matter where they are, there is always a festival to celebrate the passing of winter and the coming of spring.
Lanterns were decorated all over Wuwei City, and sick children put on their clothes and ran to play in the streets under the instructions of their elders.
Physical martial arts has now become an entry-level method in the prison hall. Even the Shuangzi Empress Temple will directly implant disease seeds when delivering babies to pregnant women, so that they can practice physical martial arts at the age of five.
Even if it has an impact on the child's physique, after all, it can be nourished with the help of elixirs, so it is unlikely to cause premature death.
As Huang Ming walked in Dream City, the streets became extremely deserted regardless of day or night.
He climbed to the top of the city wall, and the Wuwei City in the distance was bustling and noisy, with old people and children walking together, just like how it should be in the "human world".
Huang Ming stared silently, and didn't react until a figure appeared next to him.
Facing the ignorant Ren Qing, he didn't know what to call her, and his mouth was wide open and he couldn't squeeze out a few words.
"Huang Ming."
"If one can become a Buddha by following a vegetarian diet, all cattle and sheep can become immortals..."
Ren Qing did not participate in the Spring Festival. Although Zhou Wu and others had greeted him in advance, it was difficult for him to return to his normal state of mind.
Huang Ming was still pondering the meaning of his words when Ren Qing disappeared.
In the evening breeze, he was left muttering to himself before leaving: "All immortals and Buddhas are wrapped in skins, and I don't want to become a corpse..."
