Without any surprise, Ye Cha and Ye Tianci quarreled again.
Ye Xiaochuan was already used to the two of them quarreling in his soul. In order not to affect his thinking, he simply sealed the sea of souls and let them quarrel inside.
Soon, Ye Xiaochuan's attention returned to the verse on Wuzi Cliff.
Suddenly, Ye Xiaochuan remembered what Master Xuannan said earlier.
"According to one of the founders of our Kasyapa Temple, this wordless cliff contains supreme magical power. The founder's Buddhist teachings were learned from this wordless cliff.
However, since the ancestor passed away, the secret of Wuzi Cliff has been buried forever."
It is easy for people to overlook the hidden details in this sentence.
The so-called devil is hidden in the details.
The entry point for many things is often a very inconspicuous thing.
What Master Xuannan said is based on what one of the founders of the Kasyapa Temple said... The patriarch mentioned in this sentence is definitely not Tian Chanzi, the first generation patriarch of the Kasyapa Temple.
If it was Tian Chanzi, Xuannan would probably say that according to what I, the first generation founder of Kasyapa Temple, said... Since he is not Tian Chanzi, and he also has a ground-breaking status, then this person’s contribution to Kasyapa Temple is definitely not as great as
The cicada is small.
What Master Xuannan said at the end, "Since the death of that Patriarch," further confirmed that this Patriarch was definitely not Tian Chanzi.
The rumors are correct, Tianchanzi did pass on the boundless Buddhist teachings in the mountain behind Guanzizai Peak.
Ye Xiaochuan's suspicions over the years are also correct. There are indeed two timelines in Kasyapa Temple.
But Ye Xiaochuan murmured: "Aside from Tian Chanzi, which other patriarch is famous among the past patriarchs of Kayaba Temple?
This Patriarch should have appeared after the Cangyun War eight hundred years ago..." He wanted to ask Ye Cha, but as soon as he opened the restriction on the Sea of Souls, he heard Ye Tianci scolding Ye Cha with disgusting words.
Frightened, Ye Xiaochuan quickly closed the Sea of Souls again.
No matter whether the prophecy of the old storyteller master was true or not, Ye Xiaochuan must first find out what secrets are hidden on Wuzi Cliff.
Throughout the ages, only the founder of Kasyapa Temple mentioned by Master Xuannan has unlocked the secret of Wuzi Cliff.
So Ye Xiaochuan had no choice but to ask the senior monk of Kaysapa Temple, saying: "Master Xuannan, this junior has a question, which divine monk of Kaysapa Temple was the person who understood the secret of Wuzi Cliff back then?
What else did he get from Wuziya?"
Xuannan seemed a little hesitant.
Master Kongyuan, who was sitting under the stone statue of the Buddha holding flowers, put his hands together and said: "Amitabha, Lord Ye, this history that has been sealed for many years involves the biggest scandal since the founding of the temple. In Kaysapa Temple, there are only a few
Several people know about it, please forgive me, donor Ye."
Ye Xiaochuan shrugged and said: "If I want the younger generation to decipher the secret of Wuzi Cliff, I must find out the causes and consequences of Wuzi Cliff. Master Kongyuan, you can rest assured that all the secrets of the Pure Land of Buddhism originate from here.
It will be scattered here and will never spread."
Master Kong Yuan looked at the three great uncles.
Xuannan nodded and said: "Kong Yuan, we are all monks who have nothing in the world. Our reputation is not important to us, so why should we care?
What Ye Xiaoyou said is true, if we don't figure out the whole story, I'm afraid the secret of Wuzi Cliff will be buried here forever."
Grandmaster and uncle have already spoken, so Master Kongyuan can no longer hide it.
He said slowly: "This matter began more than eight hundred years ago.
The size of Kasyapa Temple back then was far smaller than it is now. During the Cangyun War, there were only a thousand monks in the entire temple, and there were less than 500 elder disciples who had reached the realm of Yukong.
During the battle of Cangyun, Kayaba Temple, like other sects, sent most of its disciples to help Cangyun. In that battle, not only Cangyun Sect and the Demon Sect suffered heavy losses, but also the various sects in China suffered heavy losses.
I, Kasyapa Monastery, sent 430 people, but less than 100 people came back alive.
After the war, in order to quickly recover their strength, various factions began to search for young people with high qualifications in the world to worship them.
The same is true of Kasyapa Temple.
Among the hundreds of disciples who came to Kasyapa Temple at that time, there was a disciple named Lu Qinghe who was thirteen years old. He entered the temple to practice on his behalf and worked in the kitchen.
Five years after entering the monastery, he advanced in cultivation, was transferred from the kitchen, and became a novice monk.
This person had a weird personality and repeatedly violated the strict rules and precepts of Buddhism. Ten years after he entered Buddhism, he was severely punished for secretly learning high-level mental methods.
At that time, Wuzi Cliff was specially used for disciples who broke the sect rules to face the wall and reflect on their mistakes, so they were punished to face the wall here and repent for ten years.
Ten years later, Lu Qinghe came out of the customs and made great progress in his Taoism. Many of his true Dharma and supernatural powers were not spread in our Kasyapa Temple.
But all of these magical powers are true Buddhist methods, and most of them are Tantric mental methods."
Hearing this, Ye Xiaochuan frowned. Lu Qinghe's experience seemed somewhat similar to his own.
Moreover, Lu Qinghe's name was very familiar to him, as if he had heard it somewhere before, and more than once.
Ye Xiaochuan said: "Master, Zen Buddhism and Tantric Buddhism are one body. Even if Senior Lu accidentally learned some Tantric mental and magical powers, it would be nothing. How can we say that this is a major scandal in Kasyapa Temple?"
Master Kong Yuan said: "If things were so simple, that would be great.
We Buddhists are not taboo about the practices of other schools. How to integrate Zen and Tantric mental methods will also be of great benefit to the development of the Buddhist lineage. Therefore, the abbot at that time made an exception and allowed Lu Qinghe to enter Bodhidharma Academy to specialize in
Study Buddhism.
During his several years at Bodhidharma Monastery, Lu Qinghe re-edited and integrated the Heart Sutra of the Buddha, making it more than ten times more mysterious than before. Now, the Heart Sutra of the Buddha that is practiced in our Kasyapa Temple and many temples in the world,
It’s Lu Qinghe’s improved version.”
Ye Xiaochuan suddenly realized.
No wonder Kasyapa Temple has been tepid for more than a thousand years, but suddenly it rose to prominence overnight.
It turns out that an expert has re-improved the Dharma-Guang Bao Buddha Heart Sutra.
Ye Xiaochuan secretly thought, this Lu Qinghe is really a fucking genius. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a groundbreaking figure.
The Dharma Light Treasure Buddha's Heart Sutra improved by Lu Qinghe is more powerful and more mysterious. This has made a huge contribution to Buddhism and directly affects the current pattern of the world of human cultivation.
However, Master Kongyuan said that this incident was the first scandal in Kasyapa Temple, which shows that the incident happened later.
Ye Xiaochuan said: "Master, what happened next?"
Master Kongyuan sighed and said: "During the several years at Bodhidharma Academy, Lu Qinghe not only improved the Buddha's Heart Sutra of Faguangbao, but also created many Buddhist supreme magical powers. Many kinds of magical powers are still circulated in the world today.
These include the Golden Body of Arhat, the Thousand-Hand Avalokitesvara, the Demon-Suppressing Palm, the Eyes of Samsara Buddha, etc.”
