"Disciple, there is something I don't understand." Nian lowered his head and tried not to look into Tian Yuan's eyes.
"If you don't understand, just figure it out yourself." Tianyuan turned around and walked back into the house.
Nian followed in and said persistently: "This matter has been buried in the disciple's heart for a long time. Why doesn't the master send the masters from Chongfa Temple to complete this matter? Even the disciple can do it for him. Why did he choose the two of them?"
Tian Yuan's old eyes swept over Nian, but he was not as amiable as before. He said indifferently: "The destiny is like this, and we should act according to the destiny. In front of the way of heaven, even if we are teachers, we are just ants. Even if we are lucky enough to give birth to membrane wings,
, and also need to fly according to the direction of the wind.”
"Master Buddha's eyes are opened and he understands the way of heaven. Why don't you tell them the secret behind the golden skull to avoid everyone's random suspicion. You just said that your family is not lying, so how can you go back on your promise?" Nian said stubbornly.
Tianyuan sighed, with a hint of exhaustion on his old face. He was silent for a long time and said slowly: "You just need to believe in me now and believe in them. Doing so will be beneficial to everyone."
Nian shook his head dejectedly, still wanting to say something, but saw Tianyuan Monk wave his sleeves, and a pure force rushed towards his face, sweeping Nian out of the small room and throwing him heavily on the stone slab.
Nian stared blankly at the sky filled with thousands of miles of clouds, feeling at a loss in his heart. His mentor, whom he had worked with for decades, seemed like a stranger.
At this time, Chen Yunsheng and Liu Xiaoshan were led into a huge cave by two Zhike monks. The walls of the cave were inlaid with several huge crystal stones, which illuminated the cave very brightly.[
This cave is not long, but the space inside the cave is extremely spacious. There are more than a dozen huge rough wooden bookshelves displayed around the cave wall. I don’t know when it was built. The wood has turned black and is as hard as stone.
There are all kinds of books on the bookshelf, thick or thin, old or new. Two Zhike monks led Chen Yunsheng and Liu Xiaoshan to the last bookshelf, pointed to the nine-story bookshelf and said: "There are seventy-two books here.
This classic, with eight books on each floor, records the picture of the dharma of the gods of the little Sumeru. It is the most precious treasure of this temple, and the master has told you to choose it as you like."
Liu Xiaoshan took the lead in picking up the easternmost book on the top floor, opened it, and was surprised to find several ancient seal characters written on it - "Jialan Demonic Appearance".
"It's really the golden body of Senior Sister!"
"I didn't expect her golden body to be here." Chen Yunsheng had suffered at the hands of Miao Kong'er, so he naturally knew how fierce her body was.
"There is also the Dharma image of the monk Nian here."
Liu Xiaoshan picked up another book. On the cover was a picture of an Arhat sitting cross-legged, with the four seal characters of Guangming Arhat written on the side.
"Why don't you choose Jialan Demon Phase? You have seen senior sister's magical powers before." Liu Xiaoshan suggested at the side.
Chen Yunsheng shook his head. Although Miao Konger had good magical powers, he was too surly, which might have something to do with practicing such evil dharma.
From top to bottom, from left to right, he looked through all the small Sumeru Dharma signs, but could not find the red Thousand-Armed Bodhi sign, which made him feel a little disappointed. Deep in his heart, he still had some expectations for this Dharma sign.
.
He picked up a dusty classic from the bottom corner, brushed off the dust on the surface, and revealed four seal characters, Vajra Arhat. Chen Yunsheng held this book in his hand, but there was an inexplicable throbbing in his heart, Vajra Arhat Dharma
, judging from the name alone, it should be a method with relatively strong defensive power, which is just suitable for him.
"I will choose this one."
Wu Ming and Wu Liang looked at each other, with a strange look on their faces. Liu Xiaoshan's eyes were like lightning. She was not interested in the full range of exercises, but the expressions of the two monks could not escape her eyes.
"Why, is there anything wrong with this book?" Liu Xiaoshan asked.
Wu Ming hesitated for a while and said: "The young monk should not have said anything because of his soft words, but there is a big problem with the method chosen by Almsgiver Chen. The Vajra Arhat Dharma is the only one in the Little Sumeru Dharma Appearance Chart that no one has ever practiced.
"[
"Oh? Master, please explain it more clearly." Chen Yunsheng also became curious.
Wu Ming said: "Unless no one has cultivated the classics on this shelf, the rest have been successfully cultivated into a golden body. Only this Vajra Arhat Dharma Appearance Diagram has never been successfully cultivated by anyone."
"Maybe the monks who practice this method are not qualified enough." Liu Xiaoshan said.
Wu Ming smiled and said: "On the contrary, the monks who practice this book are all famous and virtuous monks in the history of this temple. There is only one reason why I can't practice, and that is that the records in this book are wrong."
Chen Yunsheng opened the obviously ancient book in his hand. Compared with other books, the fonts and textures in it looked much older. Although the lines and handwriting were blurry and incomplete in places, the person who made the book wrote decisively and without any traces.
There was no hesitation. From this point of view, it does not seem like the record was wrong.
Wu Liang said: "If Master Chen takes a fancy to this method and chooses to practice it, although the monks who practice this method will develop a golden body, the strength of the body will be greatly improved, and it cannot be said that this method is the only one. Practice
The most important thing about martial arts is fate, and some martial arts can only show their value in specific people."
Chen Yunsheng nodded and said: "Master is right. I also think this book of exercises is good, so I will choose this one."
Wu Liang looked at Liu Xiaoshan and said, "Don't you want to choose a female donor?"
"I'm waiting for your master to teach you the Buddha's Eye to the Sky." Liu Xiaoshan said with a smile.
Although these two monks were plain in appearance, they had obviously seen a lot of the world and did not show excessive surprise at Liu Xiaoshan's words.
Wu Liang frowned slightly and said, "In that case, you two will follow me to see the Master and let him arrange your next practice."
The four of them returned the same way. Along the way, Chen Yunsheng casually glanced at the ancient book and was attracted by the profound words in it. He kept chewing on the profound meaning and unknowingly arrived at the thatched cottage.
Monk Tian Yuan opened his eyes and saw the book in Chen Yunsheng's hand. He couldn't help but frown slightly, but said nothing. He asked the two Zhike monks to step back and let Chen Yunsheng and Liu Xiaoshan sit down in front of him.
"If we are not Buddhist disciples, can we still practice the Golden Body and Dharma Body?" Chen Yunsheng asked.
Tianyuan nodded and said: "You can't cultivate the golden body, but you can cultivate the Dharma form."
"What is the difference between the golden body and the physical form?"
"The golden body is contained within, and the Dharma is placed outside. Buddhists who have cultivated the golden body are afraid of reincarnation, illness, and longevity. Their lifespan is long and long, and they just have to survive tribulations. And the Dharma is an accompanying effect of the golden body.
It can be understood as the ability derived from the golden body that exceeds the limits of human beings. What you have cultivated in your body is the Taoist Dharma. You cannot cultivate the golden body, but the Dharma is not restricted."
"For Buddhists, it takes several reincarnations or more to create a golden body, but it does not take that long to practice the Dharma Appearance alone. You can just practice this Dharma Appearance Diagram as a skill."
"As for you, it is not an easy task to learn the Buddha's Eye. It is almost impossible for people without wisdom. I can plant a trace of wisdom in your body and inject the power of the Buddha's Eye into your body.
But whether you can succeed or not depends on your own luck."
"After I have the wisdom root, I won't be able to think about becoming a monk all the time." Liu Xiaoshan said worriedly.
Tian Yuan smiled and said: "Of course not. There are many people with wisdom in the world, but not all of them are Buddhists. If the girl wants to become a monk, she will get twice the result with half the effort if she has wisdom."
Liu Xiaoshan shook his head and said: "I will never become a monk again in this life."
"What impact does it have on the body?" Chen Yunsheng asked.
"After planting the wisdom root, it will only make her body lighter and her spiritual roots more pure, which will also be of great benefit to her Taoist foundation. If there are any benefits to her body, well, she should be more beautiful."
Chen Yunsheng glanced at Liu Xiaoshan, and there was a trace of emotion in his eyes that was not easy to detect. This feeling would only be revealed when the two of them were the most intimate. Liu Xiaoshan naturally knew the meaning contained in this look, but what annoyed her was that,
The old monk opposite also had a smile in his eyes, obviously aware of the tacit understanding between the two.
"Wu Ming once said that the records in this book are wrong. No one has ever succeeded in cultivation. I wonder what the master thinks of this matter." Chen Yunsheng asked.
Tianyuan nodded and said, "He's right. But I don't think there's anything wrong with the practice method recorded in this book. Maybe it hasn't met the right owner yet. Buddhist disciples are quite cautious about choosing exercises and pay attention to fate.
There are a total of seventy-two kinds of Dharma recorded in the Little Sumeru Dharma. No one is stronger than another, and it varies from person to person. If a Dharma falls into the hands of the person who is suitable for it, it will inevitably exert a stronger
The power of it is an indisputable fact. So since Donor Chen is interested in this book, don’t give up, maybe it will make a difference.”
"Thank you, Master, for your guidance."
Liu Xiaoshan asked: "How long will we stay here?"
Tianyuan thought for a while and said: "When will Almsgiver Chen be able to defeat Wu Ming, and Miss Liu be able to defeat another nun in our temple, that will be when you come down the mountain."
Chen Yunsheng was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that mediocre Wu Ming, who couldn't be found in the crowd, turned out to be a master.
"Is he a Buddhist monk?"
"Enlightenment has just opened up to self-consciousness, and it may not be possible to reach the state of enlightenment in this life."
"Can I compete with him now? After all, the matter entrusted by the master is very urgent. If we want to practice, we can do it on the road so that we won't be delayed."
Tianyuan smiled and said, "Does Almsgiver Chen know who he is?"
Chen Yunsheng was stunned, shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"He is the prince of the Ark Kingdom that Nian mentioned to you. Although the Dharma is not very exquisite, his Taoist cultivation is not ordinary. He has already mastered the Nascent Soul Taoism. It may not be easy for you to defeat him."
Chen Yunsheng was shocked. With his astonishing spiritual thoughts, he was able to detect the Taoist cultivation level hidden in the other party. This showed that the depth of Buddhist skills was far beyond his imagination.
"Who is the female monk I am facing?" Liu Xiaoshan asked.
"She is the woman over whom the Chiyan Kingdom and the Shusu Kingdom are at loggerheads. Her lay name is Shangguan Wan'er, and her Buddhist name is Jingxin."
