Grandpa told me that Buddhism is divided into Zen Buddhism and Tantric Buddhism. One tends to cultivate the mind, and the other tends to cultivate the body.
This is also the difference between the so-called Mahayana, Hinayana and Vajrayana.
What Tantra practices is Vajrayana, which advocates becoming a Buddha instantly.
The protective monks of this lineage are different from the Zen sect in the mainland. They wear red robes and hold iron rods. The iron rods are densely covered with mantras and are extremely complicated.
I once read a record that said that more than a hundred years ago, countless snow corpses walked down the glacier and absorbed the essence of the shepherds. Wherever they went, there were countless deaths and injuries.
Upon hearing this, a Buddhist monk who protected the teachings led his disciples across the mountains and ridges to rush to the scene of the incident.
After arriving, the snow corpse happened to attack, carrying the wind and snow, whizzing past.
The master in red was holding a tantric iron rod and smashed it down. The sound of chanting filled the sky, and the wind and snow stopped. The corpses in the snow were confused and fled one after another.
Then the master raised his hand and struck a stick, the temperature rose sharply, the snow corpses of the intruders melted one after another, and countless dead souls flew back to the mountain.
The master in red looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance and knew that the evil spirits had not been eliminated, but the mountains were high and snowy, making it impossible for ordinary people to climb.
So the red-clothed master told his disciples to appease the shepherds, rescue the injured, and then go straight up the mountain one by one with a stick.
That night, there was a faint glow on the mountain, the ice and snow melted, and countless water flows washed the earth, forming an ice-free river. In the river, there were countless corpses of melted glacier snow, and each body had traces of a tantric mantra.
After dawn, the disciples salvaged the body, but the master in red was still not seen coming down the mountain. So the disciples went up the mountain together, only to find that the master in red had already passed away.
He had a peaceful face and was sitting cross-legged on the ground. His flesh and blood had turned into ice sculptures. Only the tantric iron rod in his hand was slightly downward, suppressing a transparent female corpse of ice.
Only then did the disciples realize that there was a Glacial Snow Corpse King hidden on the mountain, and their master had sacrificed himself to suppress the Corpse King.
From ancient times to the present, the Corpse King has never been easy to deal with. Especially since the Glacier Snow Corpse King is located in a high and cold place with snow that never melts all year round, it is considered to have an advantageous location.
Although the Corpse King was suppressed by the tantric iron rod, the Corpse King's whole body blended into the snow mountain. At this time, the Corpse King was the Snow Mountain, and the snow mountain was the Corpse King.
Unless the snow mountain collapses, the Corpse King will not be destroyed.
The disciples knew that even though the master had suppressed the Glacier Snow Corpse King, sooner or later, this guy would reappear and wreak havoc on the Snowy Plateau again.
So the disciples discussed for a while and decided to keep the master's body and the tantric iron rod. With these two things holding them down, the Glacier Snow Corpse King would not be able to jump up for at least a hundred years.
As for a hundred years from now, that is what future generations will have to do.
I was secretly lost in thought while holding the iron rod of Tantric Buddhism. In my mind, I seemed to picture the master in red holding the iron rod, suppressing the corpses all over the snow-capped mountains with his own strength.
I don't know why, but I always feel that the tantric iron rod in my hand is the one used by the red-robed master.
However, it’s hard to say for sure. Tantric iron rods are not widely circulated in Tantric Buddhism. It is said that this thing can only be made by condensing the will of believers into it.
The tantric iron rod will not be broken or touched by evil spirits. It is not afraid of water, fire, or weapons. It can be regarded as a first-class magic weapon.
The entire snowy plateau has probably been passed down to this day. Every tantric iron rod can only be held by the chanting master in red.
I don’t know where the third uncle got this thing from.
If it is genuine, the value of a bare Tantric iron rod exceeds the sum of the seven-star flag, Bagua mirror, and red rope talismans.
While I was thinking about that, I suddenly heard a man in a suit calling me cautiously: "Mr. Zhang? Mr. Zhang?"
Only then did I come to my senses, hung the tantric iron rod around my waist, and said impatiently: "What's wrong?"
The man in the suit smiled broadly and said, "The seven-star flag is ready."
I raised my eyes and took a look. This guy was really careful. The seven flags were placed in a regular position. There was nothing wrong with it.
The man in the suit saw me nodding and said, "Mr. Zhang, are you hungry? I ordered food, and the chef of Fengqi Restaurant personally cooked it."
"Also, do you want to drink to strengthen your courage?"
I gave him a look of disdain. In such a scene, why should I drink?
However, Fengqi Restaurant is quite high-end, and the chef cooks it himself, which is a must-try.
So I said, "Go and bring the food and two bottles of good wine."
I want wine, not for myself, but to invite ghosts from the underworld.
They haven't gotten Li Fengqi's Three Souls and Seven Souls yet, so they probably won't let it go just like this. If the ghost comes, let's use a wine condom to get close to him first.
The man in the suit didn't want to stay here for a moment, so he turned around and left in a hurry. As soon as he left, the remaining Miss Xu became restless and hesitant.
I knew she was scared too, so I simply waved my hand and said, "Go downstairs and find a place to stay. I'll call you if something happens, but don't come up if you don't!"
Miss Xu felt like she was being pardoned. She picked up her coat from the sofa and ran out in a hurry.
For a moment, the entire top-floor office was filled with me and Li Fengqi, who was about to become a corpse.
There was a strong gloom in the room, and the smell of corpses gradually came out. But I didn't take it seriously and couldn't put it down the Tantric iron rod in my hand.
I even hope that Li Fengqi will jump up and down soon so that I can see how powerful the tantric iron rod is.
Just thinking about it, I honestly put the red rope horizontally and vertically to seal the window, and hung the Bagua mirror at the door, facing Li Fengqi's coffin.
This thing is really good at killing people. Even if you have a tantric iron rod, you can't be careless.
Just after I finished my work, I heard a knock on the door from outside. At first, I thought it was a man in a suit coming back with food, and I was about to open the door.
Suddenly, a shiver ran through my body, and a bad cold came out.
I quietly held the Tantric iron rod in my hand and said, "Who is it?"
As soon as I finished speaking, the solid solid wood door was kicked open by someone from outside. Almost at the same time, a black figure suddenly rushed over, stretched out his hands and grabbed me around the neck.
I reacted very quickly, and hit his paw with a stick. I saw the tantric mantra on the tantric iron rod flashing with a golden light, and the other person screamed strangely after being beaten, and hurriedly withdrew his hands.
Seeing the power of my tantric iron rod, this guy grabbed Li Fengqi in the coffin with his backhand, took two quick steps, and was about to break the window and escape.
Unexpectedly, he rushed to the window, and the two red ropes horizontally and vertically tightened suddenly. One person and one body seemed to have hit a wall, and he staggered back a few steps.
The man turned his head and shouted sharply: "Zhang! Stay out of your own business! Let me go!"
What I heard in my ears and what I saw in my eyes made me open my mouth in surprise, and I shouted out loud: "Are you Li Fengqi? Or Da Heiya?"
