Although the old monk Huiwen has ignored secular affairs in the past ten years and focused on practicing Buddhism, he is still in the Prajna Monastery and will inevitably talk about outside things when we get together.
Daleiyin Temple is the first temple of the Daxueshan Sect and has countless masters, so it certainly attracts attention.
As the first person of the Cheng generation, Chengxu actually practiced the Asura magic, which was shocking to the world and everyone who heard about it was in an uproar.
Asura's magical skill is known as the number one killing skill. It was inherited from a demon that was suppressed by the eminent monks of Dayei Temple thousands of years ago with heavy sacrifices.
The power of this skill is astonishing, and the backlash is also astonishing. It will distort human nature, make it dehumanize, and turn it into a murderous artifact.
Back then, that Asura killed tens of thousands of masters, and everyone in the world was shocked by the news.
The eminent monks of Daleiyin Temple stepped forward. At the expense of themselves, twelve eminent monks used the Palm of the Great Sun Tathagata to severely injure this Asura.
This Asura's vitality is astonishing and he is almost invincible. Once he uses his secret technique before dying, the destructive power will be too great.
So he was imprisoned in the Great Thunder Sound Temple. More than two hundred years later, this Asura died at the end of his life.
Some people speculate that this Asura lived for more than three hundred years, far exceeding the normal life span.
Asura's magical power has turned him into an inhuman existence.
When he was about to die, he left behind the inheritance of Asura's magical skills, which inspired more than a dozen talented disciples of Daleiyin Temple to practice, and they became possessed and died.
The Great Leiyin Temple determined that this Asura magical power contained a trap.
In the end, Asura's magical power was sealed in the Great Thunder Sound Tower.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Xu, the most talented and brilliant person of the Cheng generation, would secretly practice this skill.
He imprisoned himself in a cave and disappeared from people's sight.
People talked a lot, but Daleiyin Temple didn't say anything, and outsiders couldn't find out what happened.
——
Fakong and Huinan, led by Cheng Yan, walked west around the perimeter of Daleiyin Temple and came to a cave.
The dark entrance of the cave was like the huge mouth of a beast, waiting for prey to come up on its own. The inexplicable aura made Fakong stop.
Warning signs arose in his heart, and he felt danger.
"Senior brother!" Cheng Yan raised his voice.
A hoarse cry came from the cave, and he said coldly: "Let's go!"
As soon as he heard this sound, Fa Kong's heart became more alarmed, and he had a strong urge to flee.
"Master Fakong's nephew from Vajra Temple has profound Buddhist teachings and a mysterious Qingxin mantra. He can help my senior brother."
"Let's go!" The hoarse voice revealed annoyance and murderous intent.
Fa Kong took a step forward and stepped into the cave. His eyes were filled with darkness.
Immediately, he met a pair of cold eyes.
Under the messy hair, this pair of eyes shot out with cold electricity, showing no human feeling at all.
Fakong closed his eyes slightly, formed a seal with his hands, and began the Qingxin Mantra.
A jade vase tilted in the void, and fine jade pulp fell down.
The mountain peaks and stone walls were like shadows, unable to stop the jade paste from falling on the man.
"Let's go!" The hoarse voice revealed a murderous intent, and he said coldly: "If you don't leave, don't even think about leaving!"
Cheng Yan's face was tense, showing tension.
He looked at Fakong, then at the cave, and finally at Huinan, shaking his head: "Let's retreat first."
He could see that Chengxu was on the verge of losing control, and if he didn't leave, he would get angry.
I have suffered losses more than ten times, and each time I was seriously injured and had to recover for ten days and a half.
The black shadow flashed, and a tall man with disheveled hair and an unclear face appeared silently in front of Fakong, only three steps away.
He lowered his head and shot two laser-like gazes at Fakong's face.
Fa Kong lowered his eyebrows and eyes, his treasure appearance was solemn.
"Senior brother!" Cheng Yan hurriedly stepped forward to block Fa Kong, and said nervously: "Fakong is a disciple of Junior Brother Yuanzhi!"
Chengxu just stared at Fakong.
Cheng Yan has enough breath and is ready to take action at any time.
The Dharma Kongbao is solemn, and he only concentrates on reciting the Pure Heart Mantra, showing the demeanor of an eminent monk, which makes Cheng Yan secretly admire him.
After casting the Qingxin Mantra over and over again, the coldness and murderous intent in Chengxu's eyes gradually faded away, and finally he closed his eyes and remained motionless, as if he had turned into a statue.
Fakong’s Pure Heart Mantra should be recited continuously.
One hour passed, two hours passed, three hours passed...
Chengxu slowly raised his head and looked at Fa Kong.
He lightly touched the top of his face with his hands, and his hair rustled down. What appeared before Fakong's eyes was a young monk with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes.
"Senior brother!" Cheng Yan was overjoyed.
"Amitabha!" Chengxu paid tithe to Fa Kong.
If the law and emptiness are combined, the gift will be returned.
Chengxu turned to Huinan again and said, "Uncle Huinan, long time no see."
"Chengxu, you have improved too much in your cultivation."
"How can we explain clearly that good and bad things depend on each other?" Chengxu smiled, as if he was sarcastic, mocking, and self-deprecating.
"Senior brother, what's wrong?" Cheng Yan asked hurriedly.
Chengxu said to Fakong: "This Heart-clearing Mantra is indeed a masterpiece, I appreciate it."
Fakong's expression was respectful and showed no strange expression.
"It's like a dream!" Chengxu sighed: "What a big dream!"
Cheng Yan smiled and said: "Congratulations, senior brother, you finally made it through!"
Chengxu asked: "How is everything in the temple?"
"The past ten years have been quite peaceful." Cheng Yan smiled and said, "Nothing major happened in the world."
"When you are extremely still, you want to be active." Chengxu looked in the direction outside the cave: "The emperor is old, and the princes have grown up."
Cheng Yan had a heavy look on her face.
"My place is crude and not a place for entertaining. Chengyan, please entertain Uncle Huinan and Uncle Fakong for me."
"yes."
Fakong and Huinan, led by Cheng Yan, came to a monastery.
This monastery is located in front of a stone wall.
The stone wall just blocks the cold wind from the north.
To the south of the monastery is an empty square, and a hundred meters away there is an unfathomable cliff on the edge of the square.
Several strong pines slanted out from the edge of the cliff.
They are subjected to the strong wind blowing along the cliff all the time. Although they are cracked and cracked, they are still standing tall, and the gentle whistling sound made by the strong wind blowing through the treetops is endless, like gulping or sighing.
Before Cheng Yan left, Huinan told Fa Kong that he wanted to pay homage to the Immovable Sutra of Great Sun Tathagata written by Patriarch Dashi himself.
Patriarch Dashi is the founding patriarch of Daleiyin Temple. It is said that he achieved the status of a Bodhisattva and on the day of his death, there was an auspicious light in the sky, and the glow of the rays guided him.
What he himself wrote was recorded by Siqabeye.
Cheng Yan readily agreed.
A quarter of an hour later, Fa Kong came to a towering tower.
This giant tower made of copper is about 100 meters high. It is located at the top of Leiyin Peak. The spire pierces the void. It is the famous Leiyin Pagoda.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the tower, giving off a faint purple light, and the three characters "Sutra-Tiding Pavilion" on the plaque are shining with golden light.
Standing under the tower, I felt like a little ant.
Fa Kong couldn't help but think.
How was such a huge tower cast and how was it installed?
It is said that this Leiyin Pagoda was built more than 2,000 years ago. It is amazing that the ancients had such means.
Fakong followed Cheng Yan into the Thunder Sound Tower and headed straight to the sixth floor.
Each floor is filled with densely packed bookshelves, with monks reading intently in front of them.
Six old monks sat on the sixth floor.
They were dressed in apricot yellow monk robes, their beards and eyebrows were all white, and their bald heads seemed to have been oiled and waxed, giving them a polished look.
Six people sit cross-legged on the futon like six statues.
Fakong couldn't even feel their vitality, let alone their cultivation, as if there was no one in front of him.
In the center of the six people is a white jade lotus seat, and what is enshrined on the seat is the Immovable Sutra of the Great Sun Tathagata recorded by Xika Baye that Fa Kong requested.
Chengyan Heshi bowed six times, paying homage to each one, and then told Dharmakong of Vajra Temple to look at the Tathagata Mahavairocana Sutra.
The six old monks opened their eyes and glanced at Dharma Kong.
Fa Kong is awe-inspiring.
The eyes of the six old monks were clear and peaceful, but had amazing penetrating power, and they could see through themselves at once.
"Amitabha!"
They spoke in unison, nodded gently in unison, and closed their eyes again.
Fa Kong smiled.
But his heart was solemn, and he doubted whether these six old monks had seen through him, especially whether they had seen the Medicine Buddha.
Medicine Buddha is his greatest secret.
He first titheed, then came to the lotus seat, picked up the Sika Bay Sutra, and gently sat down on the lotus seat.
Just like six old monks guarding him.
Chengyan was stunned.
He didn't expect Fa Kong to be so bold and sit directly on the lotus seat. Could it be that he didn't feel the pressure from his masters at all?
He quickly looked at the six old monks.
They remained motionless as if they had fallen into trance, and seemed to have never heard of Fakong's bold and shocking move.
He quickly winked at Fakong.
Fa Kong has been attracted by the Great Sun Tathagata Immortal Sutra, and it is impossible to distract him. Big golden characters are appearing in his mind.
The golden light is dazzling and dazzling.
The number of scriptures in the Mahavairocana Sutra is far greater than that in the Buddhist scriptures he had seen before.
The Diamond Sutra has the least number of words, the Moonlight Bodhisattva Wisdom Sutra is slightly better, and the Great Sun Tathagata Sutra has more words than both sutras combined.
As Medicine Buddha recited, the golden characters turned into lotus bones.
As the recitation is completed, the flower bone condenses to the center, and then turns into a bright and flawless lotus flower, floating towards the Medicine Master Buddha.
The lotus flower under the Medicine Buddha's seat grew two layers at once, and after reciting the Medicine Buddha Sutra, five drops of sweet rain fell.
One hundred and twenty days of longevity!
Fa Kong was overjoyed.
I originally thought that the Great Sun Tathagata Immovable Sutra would also add one layer like the Moonlight Bodhisattva's Wisdom Sutra, and I was even worried because I was afraid that more and more Buddhist sutras would be needed in the future, and a single Mahayana Tathagata Immovable Sutra would not be able to add one layer.
Lotus seat.
Unexpectedly, the Tathagata Mahavairocana suddenly added two layers of lotus seats!
