Chapter 1,314 The 'Suppressed' Monkeys at the foot of Mount Xumi
"Inside the temple..."
"It's really abnormal!"
When Xuanzang left the Sutra Pavilion and walked in Lingshan Mountain, he quickly discovered something was wrong.
There are four great bodhisattvas, eight great vajras, five hundred arrows, and three thousand enlightenments under the Buddha's seat. Even though the four great bodhisattvas have their own monasteries and do not live in Daleiyin Temple to practice, but only come to listen to lectures from time to time, there are many things in this temple.
There should be thousands of Buddhas, all of whom are great virtuous practitioners.
But now we are walking all the way, but it is extremely deserted. There is not a single monk in sight, but there is the incense lingering, Sanskrit sounds, the sound of chanting sutras and sermons coming from far away, the precious light is solemn, it seems far and near, and it is difficult to distinguish the specific details.
position.
Xuanzang's steps slowed down, his expression gradually became serious, and he seemed to be worried.
In comparison, Li Yan was more adaptable, clarifying distracting thoughts and observing with his mind.
In his eyes, the surroundings seemed to be nothingness, all sounds and appearances were empty, color was emptiness, and emptiness was color.
It is also like a mirror reflecting the spiritual platform, reflecting the ideal world in the hearts of living beings. What I believe in my heart is the spiritual mountain.
To be fair, compared to a dull dead thing, the Great Leiyin Temple is more in line with the specifications of a Buddhist holy land, but it is undoubtedly not good news for explorers.
Even though they couldn't feel any obvious suppression, the spirits in Li Yan's sleeves still felt that their magic power was difficult to exert. All the spiritual consciousness that was released was diluted by the empty atmosphere around them and turned into
Nothing, it seems that all his own cultivation has returned to nothingness and become nothing.
Fortunately, Li Yan was well prepared for the Buddhist methods. Without any intention or intention, he began to capture the truth behind the sensual appearance.
Especially looking for the imprisoned Bajie, Sha Seng, Xiao Bailong, and Wukong who might have been suppressed.
At the same time, he also started to communicate with the thunder sound in his sleeve: "Can you see the clues in Lingshan here?"
Lei Yin's deep voice responded: "It seems that there is no difference between this place and my body, but in fact it is too deep and it is difficult to distinguish..."
Li Yan said: "You can tell me the structure of the body, and I will be able to tell the difference."
In the past, Leiyin would have been unwilling, but now that the overall situation was of paramount importance, he did not dare to neglect and passed on the internal and external structures of the Great Leiyin Temple.
On one side, Li Yan was studying the Great Thunder Sound Temple, while on the other side, Xuanzang stopped, clasped his hands together, and silently chanted sutras.
Only knowledge has no boundaries, and the power extends. In the seemingly deserted spiritual mountain, pieces of glass swirling with Buddha's light emerge, layer upon layer, forming a layer of stretching space. Countless scriptures flow along the walls of the space.
spread out.
Almost instantly, Li Yan's mind followed closely behind him, fixing the void law, and stepped into it one after the other.
The two cooperated so well that Xuanzang was surprised when he saw it: "The donor also understands the consciousness-only method?"
Li Yan smiled: "You can master this method only by practicing the true strength taught by the holy monks..."
Xuanzang also saw that this person's consciousness-only method was not exactly the same as his own. It was a different approach, but it led to the same goal. He couldn't help but believe what the other person said more.
The key is that what he saw next confirmed Li Yan's statement.
As the two traveled through the void realm, and the distant Sanskrit sounds became closer and closer, there was a sudden shock in front of their eyes, a glass wall shattered, and a palace appeared in front of them.
In the palace, there stood a stone sculpture with a fat head and big ears, with its chest and abdomen exposed. He held up a nail and was about to strike it down, but it froze in an instant.
Hundreds of Arhat venerables were sitting cross-legged around the stone Buddha, headed by Anuo and Kaye. The sound of chanting sutras and reciting the Buddha was endless, with bells in the morning and drums in the evening, and Sanskrit sounds everywhere.
"That is Master's second disciple Zhu Wuneng..."
When Li Yan spoke, Anuo and Gaye also turned their heads and looked at Xuanzang, showing deep regret: "The holy monk did not listen to the advice after all and was deceived by the external demon!"
Although the other party even changed their title, Xuanzang still wanted to explain: "Two venerables, a poor monk..."
"Amitabha! The evil spirits are gone!"
As soon as he spoke, his voice was covered by a loud chanting of Buddha.
This Sanskrit sound descending from the sky is no longer thought-provoking, like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning. Instead, it makes people feel in a trance, and the whole body is blurred and distorted. It gradually fades away and disappears like a dreamy bubble.
The five aggregates are all empty, and all forms are false!
Both Li Yan and Xuanzang knew it very well, and immediately activated their minds and formed the seal: "Ding!"
For a moment, the heaven and earth and the human heart vibrated together. Relying on this resonance between the soul and matter, the two minds were instantly at one with everything around them, without missing a beat.
But the vast Buddha's light is still connected by unknown time and space, and it is constantly suppressed in the form of Sanskrit Zen chanting, and it penetrates every hole.
Once the mental barrier is broken through by this power, they will follow in the footsteps of Bajie and instantly become a solidified stone statue, suppressed here.
Xuanzang tried several times, but was unable to break through this pressure. He sighed: "The poor monk is not good at fighting. In the past, he was protected by his disciples, but now I am dragging you down..."
"Why should Master Tripitaka belittle himself? It is not difficult to make up for it with experience in Dharma fighting. The key is to be able to be more consistent in his words and deeds while studying the Dharma intensively!"
Li Yan chuckled lightly, and as the words fell, the mental power of the two people suddenly returned to one, and Xuanzang's whole body suddenly rose with a faint light, showing an unshakable firmness in the solemnity.
This is merit.
Buddhism emphasizes cause and effect, and good and evil will eventually have their karma. When Xuanzang activated his own Buddhist power with the intention of carrying out meritorious deeds, he did not need to control it very delicately. A transcendent and external force already had the power to suppress the eight extremes.
can emerge.
The Sanskrit sounds that were originally surrounded suddenly changed from motion to stillness under the suppression of this powerful force.
A moment becomes eternity, a square inch becomes Buddha land!
Dharma competition!
"Namo Chan Tan Merit Buddha!"
Li Yan not only made up for Xuanzang's biggest shortcoming, but also chanted the Buddha's name and guided the golden Buddha's light to light up the void until it illuminated the ten directions and completely dispersed the source of the Sanskrit sound.
From the beginning to the end, Ah Nuo and Ga Ye did not change their tactics, just watching the light fall.
They were not suppressed, but their figures faded away, dissipating like a gust of wind.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the blink of an eye, all the Arhats in front of you disappeared. If it weren't for the Bajie stone sculpture in the center, the Dharma contest just now would have been a dream and never happened at all.
"Buddhism is boundless!"
Xuanzang restrained himself from the Buddha's light and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved that he had proved himself.
"The real Venerable Arhat is still sleeping in the Great Vision Realm. These figures now are at best the power of projection, but the power of the Sanskrit Buddha is real..."
Li Yan was thinking about the strength shown by both sides during the fight.
Xuanzang's Buddhist teachings and merits were actually extremely profound, but he was not very good at using them. As he said, he was not good at fighting.
On the other hand, the Venerable Arhat on the opposite side is a bit strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Especially Anuo and Jiaye, as disciples of Tathagata, should not be so weak. Now the reality has been exposed. They should be dreams and bubbles, not reality.
But the power of the Sanskrit sound just now is the true brilliance of Buddhism. Perhaps it is with the help of the power of Lingshan Holy Land, or perhaps the Buddha exerts influence behind it.
Li Yan was actually looking forward to the person behind the scenes taking action and competing with him.
His sleeves are full of magical treasures, and even the Tathagata Buddha can deal with them with this powerful body.
However, such a conflict did not occur. Venerable Arhat wiped it all away. There was no suppression. Only a cracking sound was heard, and a small crack opened in the stone statue.
Xuanzang stood still and hesitated for a while, but Li Yan didn't waste any time, stepped forward and pressed the button from a distance.
With the support of external forces, a ray of light shone out from the stone Buddha. There were more and more cracks, and finally it fell apart with a bang. A familiar voice finally sounded: "It turns out that it was the heavenly master who came to the rescue... Huh? Master! Master!"
Old Zhu misses you so much, why didn’t you recognize us before?”
Seeing Bajie rushing in front of him, Xuanzang felt a little embarrassed and took a step back.
This step was extremely harmful, and Bajie suddenly burst into tears: "Master no longer wants Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu has no choice but to return to Gao Laozhuang..."
Although there was a reason to show off, it could be heard from his tone that Bajie was really sad.
Xuanzang looked over for help, and Li Yan began to explain: "Master Tripitaka does not deny..."
After hearing the cause and effect, Bajie flapped his ears and groaned: "Master only remembers Brother Monkey, but forgets the three of us. We have also endured hardships and stood hard work along the way. How can we be so partial?"
Li Yan stopped the topic and asked: "Where did the Golden Body Arhat Bodhisattva and the Eight-part Heavenly Dragon Guangli Bodhisattva go?"
Bajie sighed sadly: "My queen was taken away by these monks. Junior Brother Sha and Junior Brother Bailong have gone somewhere unknown, but if Brother Monkey is not found, I'm afraid they will suffer the same fate!"
Li Yan asked: "Have you ever found the whereabouts of Victory Buddha?"
Bajie said: "Junior Brother Sha said that Brother Monkey searched many places under Lingshan Mountain. I even dug holes, but there was none!"
Xuanzang couldn't interrupt because he didn't recognize Bajie, but he couldn't help it. His understanding of Buddhism was so poor, how could he be his disciple...
Li Yan was not impressed by Bajie's stable performance and looked down: "You two, please follow me."
Combining the topographic map of Lingshan from Leiyin and the Void Dharma Realm in cooperation with Xuanzang, he found the location almost instantly and sank down.
It is not a simple escape, but a shuttle in the endless glazed light, following the veins of Lingshan, arriving at the node where the space is most likely to be hidden, and stepping into it.
"here it is……"
When Bajie's eyes were in a trance for a moment and he looked again, the pig's mouth suddenly opened wide: "Is there another sacred mountain under Lingshan Mountain?"
A majestic, vast and inverted sacred mountain!
"Great Mount Sumeru?"
Not to mention Bajie and Xuanzang were shocked, even Li Yan's pupils shrank as the word suddenly appeared in his mind.
From a normal perspective, this sacred mountain should be divided into seven levels. The outer world at the lowest level is the boundless dark void, which is created by the karma of sentient beings and is the wind wheel and sea of qi.
The second level relies on the karma of sentient beings, gathering the sea of sentient beings, heavy clouds accumulating rain, and turbulent winds and clouds, which is the water wheel and wind phase.
The third level is the place of refuge for sentient beings, which is made up of diamond-hard stones. It is covered with mountains, rivers, oceans, and continents. All sentient beings, gods, humans, and the six realms of Asuras live here.
There are four levels behind, each with corresponding world elements and living creatures. Surrounding the mountain are the Seven Fragrance Sea and the Seven Gold Mountain. Outside the Seventh Gold Mountain is the Aral Sea, and the four major continents of the human world are located on the four sides of the Aral Sea.
In ancient Indian mythology, Mount Sumeru is a huge sacred mountain. It is the center of the universe and the axis on which the sun, moon and stars rotate. Later, the setting was adopted and modified by Buddhism.
There is no sacred mountain of this nature in the Buddhist world of Journey to the West. The reason is simple: Buddhism does not have such a unique status, and the world cannot revolve around it.
And now, Mount Sumeru has appeared.
It seems that just like the previous analysis, it is felt that the three thousand realms of Buddhist aspirations ascend to the heavenly realm, and may become the thirty-three heavens, and the sacred mountain Sumeru will also take shape.
But it's not fully formed yet.
Because this sacred mountain and Lingshan are reflections of each other, to be precise, they are inserted upside down under the holy realm of Lingshan, forming a rather strange scene.
There is peace in the sacred mountain, and among the birds and the fragrance of flowers, there is already the breath of life, but there are flowers, grass, trees, scales, feathers, and many creatures. At a glance, there is no trace of the human race.
Instead, the power of earth, water, fire and wind rippled, constantly improving the structure of the seven-story sacred mountain.
"This is like a world opened up by Buddhism. Only the great power of Buddha can do it..."
"Ambitious!"
After seeing the sacred mountain of Xumi with his own eyes, Li Yan's inner judgment was a little more biased towards the possibility that the Buddha was the real murderer.
The reason is very simple. The ancestor of the spiritual race pretended to be the Tathagata. There was no need to go to this extent. The Tathagata reached a deal with the ancestor. Even if Buddhism could survive as a result, it would never reach such a status. The one who is respected in the three realms must be the spiritual race, not Buddhism.
But now the Buddhist New Territories are building Mount Sumeru...
"Has Buddha really fallen? Then why didn't He take action and just sit back and watch us come here?"
"Is there a backup plan waiting for you, or is it that you are not in Lingshan and can't do it?"
"If we continue this analysis, there are too many possibilities. Now that we are here, let's look for Wukong first!"
Li Yan looked at Xuanzang: "Master Tripitaka, have you found any traces of your disciple?"
Xuanzang came back to his senses, sensed it for a moment, and pointed toward the bottom: "There seems to be Wukong's aura there!"
"Walk!"
Li Yan's figure was like lightning, flying down.
Xuanzang and Bajie followed closely. Along the way, they saw birds and beasts in the mountains, and they gathered around them curiously. Some of them had powerful auras, and they were not as powerful as the green lions, white elephants, and rocs.
However, they were not aggressive at all. They just looked at these three strange figures in confusion and watched them disappear without moving for a long time.
Li Yan paid attention all the way and reached his destination without stopping.
It is the deepest part of Mount Sumeru. Since the sacred mountain is upside down, it is actually the highest place.
"It's senior brother!"
The distance was getting closer and closer, and Bajie also felt a familiar aura. He was both excited and a little gloating: "I didn't expect Brother Monkey to be trapped under the mountain again. What used to be the Five Elements Mountain has become the Great Sumeru Mountain."
…”
But not long after the words fell, Bajie was stunned.
Because what we see in front of us is not the down-and-out monkey who was once suppressed by a spell and lived on iron pills and copper juice.
It was a monk with a rough face and a loud mouth, with his legs crossed and leisurely flipping through the scriptures.
