The two of them arrived at the second floor of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Cave. On this floor were seven monks, whose cultivation was at the lowest level of a real person.
Each monk is locked in a different stone prison.
Wu Bei came to a stone door. He took one look at it, then asked someone to open the door and walked in slowly.
In the stone prison, a middle-aged monk sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. When Wu Bei came in, he didn't seem to notice.
Wu Bei smiled and said: "Zen Master, dinner is ready."
The middle-aged monk opened his eyes and said calmly: "I will not eat the fireworks of the world."
Wu Bei took out a magic pill and said, "Try the Bigu Pill I made."
The middle-aged monk took a look at the elixir, took it and swallowed it in one gulp.
Soon, the medicine took effect, and a wisp of black smoke appeared between the monk's eyebrows. His expression showed slight pain. But not long after, he opened his eyes, his eyes were clear, and he murmured: "What year is this?"
Wu Bei: "Master has had a dream for hundreds of years. Now the demons in his heart have been resolved, I am so happy and congratulated!"
The monk kept some notes about when he was possessed by the devil. Knowing that it was Wu Bei who saved him, he immediately bowed deeply to him: "Thank you very much."
Wu Bei used the method according to the law and gave each of the seven monks a magic pill. The seven monks gradually recovered their consciousness and were freed from the state of being possessed by the devil.
Among the seven monks, there are two monks at the Zhenjun level and five monks at the Zhenren level.
The seven monks woke up one after another. Guanghui was very happy and said: "Miracle Doctor Wu, let's go to the third floor. There is a predestined master there!"
Wu Beidao: "Even you want to call him master. In what era is this senior Luoyuan an eminent monk?"
Guang Hui said with a smile: "Master Lioyuan was an eminent monk during the reign of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and he was also an Arhat."
Wu Bei knew that Buddhist monks who make self-transcendence are called Arhats; Buddhist monks who make self-transcendence are called Bodhisattvas. The practice of Arhats is more like that of immortal monks.
He thought of Guangji and said, "Master Guangji is also a great Arhat?"
Guang Hui nodded: "Senior Brother Guangji has extraordinary qualifications. He is an early Arhat. In terms of supernatural powers, Senior Brother Guangji's strength is unfathomable."
Wu Bei: “Where is the Arhat?”
Guang Hui: "It's hard to say. Some Arhats may not be as powerful as immortals; some Arhats may be as powerful as immortals. It all depends on their own practice. For example, some Arhats specialize in martial arts and are fighting Arhats, so they are stronger."
Wu Bei nodded: "We went to see Master Yuan."
On the third floor of Ten Thousand Buddhas Cave, when Wu Bei arrived, he saw a smooth stone wall sunk inward, forming a human-shaped cave. In the cave, a person sat facing the wall, motionless, as if he had merged with the stone wall.
Wu Bei saw that the monk's robes on this man had turned to dust, so he was naked and unclothed. His skin was like stone, cold and hard to the touch.
Guang Hui sighed softly and said: "In order to avoid harming innocent people after becoming a demon, Master Liaoyuan used all his vitality to suppress the inner demon. Now he is like a stone man."
Wu Bei took a look, offered the magic lamp to purify the world, and at the same time took out the Buddha's bone relics, and chanted the Great Brahma Zen sound with the help of the power in the Buddha's bones.
When he read for five minutes, the person in the wall moved slightly. He slowly exited the wall, his skin slowly turned red, then his breathing and heartbeat resumed, and he finally opened his eyes.
This was a middle-aged man. He looked at Wu Bei and asked, "Who are you?"
Wu Bei took out a magic pill and said: "Master Lioyuan, I will help you suppress your inner demons. Please take this pill."
Liao Yuan took the elixir, took one look at it, and then swallowed it.
The power of the medicine started to work, and black smoke rose up around Liao Yuan's body. Wu Bei continued to use the Great Brahma Zen sound to drive away the opponent's inner demons. This Great Brahma Zen sound was based on the fourth level of Prajna Zen practice of Tathagata, plus the power of borrowing the bones of the Buddha.
, powerful and extremely effective.
As soon as the Zen sound came out, the black smoke came out more and gradually disappeared.
The expression on Liao Yuan's face kept changing, and this continued for more than half an hour. Gradually, the black air no longer came out of his body, but instead emitted a golden light. This light became more and more intense, making people unable to open their eyes.
After a few breaths, I heard the Buddha's name: "Amitabha!"
Guanghui was overjoyed: "Master Lioyuan, you have finally recovered!"
The middle-aged man opened his eyes, shook the Buddhist beads in his hand, and suddenly had a set of monk's robes on his body.
Only then did Wu Bei discover that Monk Lianyuan had a big left eye, a small right eye, thick lips, ears that were exposed to the wind, crooked eyebrows, and a very ugly appearance.
Liao Yuan stretched out and said, "How long have I been sleeping?"
Guanghui said quickly: "Master, you have been sleeping for thousands of years."
Liao Yuan curled his lips: "A thousand years? It's really a dream for a thousand years."
He looked at Wu Bei and suddenly knelt on the ground with a plop and said: "Thank you for helping me get rid of my inner demons. I have been trapped in that hellish place for thousands of years. If I don't come out, I will die of suffocation."
Wu Bei was startled and said quickly: "Master Lioyuan, you're welcome. Please get up."
Liao Yuan smiled and said, "Don't call me master. How about we become sworn brothers with different surnames?"
Wu Bei glanced at him and wondered, has this monk lost his mind?
Liaoyuan asked with a smile: "Do you think I'm out of my mind?"
Wu Bei said quickly: "I think Master is more straightforward."
Liao Yuan Zhengse: "When I became a demon, I made a great wish, or I would never come out and become a Buddha."
Wu Bei: "Did you succeed?"
Liao Yuan sighed: "I couldn't fight the inner demon, and I was eaten away by him bit by bit. If you hadn't taken action, I would have completely fallen into the devil's way within a hundred years, and I would never be able to escape."
Speaking of this, he smiled and said: "That's why I want to sworn sworn vows with you, because apart from sworn sworn vows, I can't think of any other way to thank you."
Wu Bei looked helplessly at Guang Hui, who smiled and said: "It would be a good thing if Dr. Wu and the Patriarch could become sworn brothers."
Liao Yuan clapped his hands and said, "Wonderful, let's kowtow and sworn sworn vows immediately."
In this way, Wu Bei was pulled aside by this ugly monk, and he worshiped Heaven and Earth, and became sworn brothers to Jinlan. The common name was Zhou Wushang, and he was the eldest brother. Wu Bei was the younger brother, and he was his younger brother.
After the sworn vows, Liao Yuan pulled Wu Bei out of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Cave, then flew up in the sky and landed on a mountain peak.
No one has ever been to this mountain peak. After arriving, I discovered that there was an entrance going down to the top of the mountain, which was blocked by trees.
There are stone steps under the entrance. After walking for a while, you enter a spacious stone room. There are many utensils in it, which are already covered with dust.
Wu Bei: "Brother, what is this place?"
Zhou Wushang said: "This is the place where I retreated when I first started practicing Buddhism."
He sighed softly: "It seems that I am not made to be a monk. I have not been able to become a Buddha even after practicing for a thousand years."
Wu Bei was speechless for a while: "Brother, not everyone can become a Buddha. Now that you are an Arhat, you are also very powerful."
Zhou Wushang: "Brother, you are wrong. I am a great Arhat."
Wu Bei was stunned and took a closer look. But no, Zhou Wushang, like Guangji, already had a golden body of a great Arhat! It seemed that he had not gained nothing from his thousand years of practice.
Zhou Wushang said: "In the past thousand years, in addition to refining the inner demons, I have also been cultivating the golden body. Now I finally succeeded."
Wu Bei: "Awesome. Big brother, your current strength is at least equivalent to that of a virtual immortal."
Zhou Wushang suddenly said: "Brother, do you think I am more suitable for cultivating immortals?"
Wu Bei: "That's not necessarily the case. Big brother can't break through. It may also be a problem with the technique."
