398. The ruins of Daleiyin Temple wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!)
Between the peaks, there are broken walls and broken bricks everywhere, and occasionally there are huge smashed steel incense burners and the remains of statues.
The huge wooden beams and wooden pillars hugged by many people are already in decay now, but looking at its huge shape, one can also imagine how spectacular it would have been back then.
A towering mountain peak, the entire side of the mountain, was carved into the shape of a giant Buddha, but at this time only two feet of the base remained, and the upper part had been completely damaged.
But the thickness of the Buddha's feet alone is close to ten feet high. From this, you can imagine how huge the Buddha statue itself must be.
Even if you are a cultivator, you will feel frightened just thinking about it. If you were a secular person, you would probably have to worship him immediately.
But now, it is just a ruin.
Lin Feng believes that when the Buddha was complete in the past, it was probably not just an ordinary statue, but also possessed a powerful Buddha nature and Buddha power, which was condensed by the incense and vows of Buddhist disciples all over the world. It was pure and vast.
Standing in front of the ruins of Daleiyin Temple, Lin Feng felt extremely strongly about the vicissitudes of life.
The Ten Thousand Years Old Temple, the Great Leiyin Temple, which used to be one of the three holy places along with Taixu Temple and Shushan Sword Sect, was a holy place for thousands of Buddhist disciples, and there were many strong and powerful people gathered in the temple. However, it was eventually destroyed and fell completely, leaving only
The latecomer sighed when he saw Kongliu.
Looking at the ruins of the Great Leiyin Temple in front of him, Lin Feng felt a strong sense of urgency in his heart, which made him constantly increase his vigilance.
As powerful as the Great Leiyin Temple, facing the siege of the heroes, it ended up in ruins. At the moment, the Xuanmen Tianzong is still like a young shoot. Not to mention, if you make a wrong step, you may encounter a crisis.
When you are in peace, you should be aware of danger. The battle at Kunlun Mountain is just the beginning.
Lin Feng walked slowly among the ruins, looking at the completely desolate Great Leiyin Temple and feeling the changes from prosperity to decline.
"King Kong Hall, Heavenly King Hall, Arhat Hall, Prajna Hall, Bodhi Courtyard..." Lin Feng walked along the way and saw more than a dozen plaques with names that could only be distinguished. He roughly calculated that the damaged former Leiyin Temple
There are perhaps thousands of courtyards.
Among the three major holy places in the past, Taixu Temple was a purely elite route. The number of disciples was relatively few, but every disciple was a genius among geniuses.
There are many disciples of the Shushan Sword Sect, but the path of sword cultivation is easy first and then difficult, so it is easy to get started. The combat effectiveness is strong at the same level, but the higher you go, the more difficult it becomes to practice.
Compared with the huge number of disciples, there are relatively few great sword cultivators who can truly reach the Nascent Soul stage. They are all extremely talented and ambitious people.
Generally speaking, the Shushan Sword Sect's monk strength structure is a standard pyramid shape.
Daleiyin Temple, on the other hand, has a wide-open gate. Regardless of whether it is wise or foolish, as long as it is sincere to the Buddha, it can be accepted as a disciple. Therefore, the number of disciples is the largest among the three holy places. At its peak, there were more than 100,000 people.
The Buddhist Kung Fu taught by Daleiyin Temple to its disciples has low requirements on basic skills. The key is to look at the mind, will, and spiritual enlightenment. Therefore, although there are many disciples, the success rate is actually very high.
The problem with Daleiyin Temple is that it is too difficult to truly cultivate the golden body of the Yuanshen, but the middle and high-level power of Yuanying stage and Jindan stage is extremely huge.
At its peak, Daleiyin Temple was known as the Three Thousand Arhats and the Five Hundred Revealed Divinations by the outside world.
Arhat and Jiedi are both karma positions in Buddhism. The monks of Daleiyin Temple would not call themselves this. This is a saying among other forces that is circulated among the people. It is somewhat joking, but it is probably because it is shocking or even terrifying.
.
The so-called three thousand Arhats and five hundred enlightenments mean three thousand golden elixirs and five hundred Nascent Souls!
This statement may be a bit exaggerated, especially since the number of people in the Nascent Soul stage is very high, but it can also be seen that the powerful strength of Da Leiyin Temple, especially the powerful strength of the Jindan stage and Yuanying stage.
A very popular saying in the past is that if casual cultivators are not included, the number of Golden Elixir and Yuanying Stage monks in Daleiyin Temple is close to the number of Jindan and Yuanying Stage monks in other sects in the vast land of China.
sum.
Although they are collectively called the three holy places, in fact, in the eyes of people at that time, there were differences between holy places.
Taixu Temple is the first holy place in ancient times, and the second holy place is the Great Leiyin Temple. Although the Shushan Sword Sect was dissatisfied, there was nothing they could do for a long time.
Many people believe that if the chance of Daleiyin Temple's Yuanying Stage monks not advancing to the Yuanshen Stage was too low, based on the huge number of Yuanying Stage monks, it would have already replaced Taixu Guan as the number one holy place.
A previous battle with the demon world greatly weakened the strength of the Great Thunder Sound Temple, but it was still a behemoth that made everyone in the vast land of China look at them.
Such a powerful force, located in the hinterland of the Zhou Dynasty, how could it not make Liang Pan, Zhu Hongwu and his ministers feel like they were stuck in their throats?
Lin Feng walked among the ruins of the Buddhist temple and sighed softly: "Such a Great Leiyin Temple makes the radicals in Taixu Guan feel uneasy, but there are still many doubts in it. Why do the conservatives in Taixu Guan
Will you acquiesce in the war to destroy the Buddha?"
In addition to the racial war with the demon world, the two most brutal battles in the human cultivation world in the vast land of China in the past ten thousand years were the war between good and evil and the war to destroy the Buddha. Both of these battles directly changed the power structure of the vast land of China.
The former completely established the situation of the rise of the Tao and the elimination of the demons. Since then, the demons have become weak and have completely turned into rats crossing the street shouting for beatings. Behemoths like the Samsara Sect are now gradually washed ashore.
Even if a few powerful figures emerge from the demonic path by chance and become prominent for a while, they will inevitably end up being suppressed and wiped out in the end.
The latter was the war to destroy Buddhism, and the Buddhist holy land Great Leiyin Temple was removed from the world of human cultivation.
It is impossible for the Zhou Dynasty alone to achieve this, no matter how many helpers it has.
But with the intervention of Shushan Sword Sect and Taixu Guan, this seemingly impossible task finally became a reality.
However, the price was extremely heavy. In that year, the Shenwu Army, which was trained by Xuanji Hou Zhu Hongwu and had a size of 30,000 and many masters, was the strongest Shenwu Army in history. More than 20,000 people were sleeping forever in the mountains in front of them.
middle.
In the camp of the Allied Forces to Destroy the Buddha, the number of fallen Yuan Shen Mighty Ones is not a small number.
In the Shushan Sword Sect, which is also a holy land, four strong sword masters at the Yuan Shen level fell in this battle. Among them, a great sword cultivator who had reached the second level of Yuan Shen died in the battle.
The losses of the Great Zhou Dynasty were even more serious. If Liang Pan and Zhu Hongwu had not used clever and vicious methods to annex and digest most of the results of this battle, the Great Zhou Dynasty would probably have collapsed, and its strong position today would be even worse.
No need to mention it.
"I'm afraid the biggest loot among them is here, right?" Lin Feng looked at the collapsed pagodas in front of him and sighed.
This is the pagoda forest of Daleiyin Temple, where the bones of eminent monks from past dynasties are buried. The ashes and relics are enshrined.
At this moment, these towers were completely destroyed, and all the relics stored in them had been taken away.
The Buddhist great masters who have formed the golden body of the soul have an unlimited lifespan naturally, but they may also be killed by external forces. The remains of the fallen Buddhist great masters will also be brought back to Dayeiyin Temple for burial by their fellow disciples in every possible way.
This pagoda forest even houses the relics of these powerful Buddhist figures formed into golden bodies.
The relics contain the essence of the Buddhist monks' magical powers during their lifetime. Now that these things have been poached, one can imagine the fate.
Lin Feng opened his palms, and twenty-four relic beads emerged in the air. They were obtained from a Buddhist disciple in the past.
A pothole appeared silently on the ground. Lin Feng put all the relic beads in his hand into it, and then the pothole disappeared silently.
After doing all this, Lin Feng continued walking and walked around to the other side of Tallinn, where there was an extremely huge deep pit on the ground.
Lin Feng's Iron Tree clone's body suddenly trembled slightly, and he knew very well that this deep pit was the trace left by the Sharo Iron Tree that was planted here.
I think back then, the Shenwu Zhuxian Formation that forcefully blasted away the Great Sun Tathagata Formation collapsed in front of this Salo Iron Tree.
Although it was due to the excessive consumption of the Shenwu Army, the adult Sharo Iron Tree could withstand the attack of the large formation, which showed how powerful it was.
It's a pity that the tree was eventually destroyed and its roots were completely severed, leaving this big hole.
Tieshu's clone walked slowly down the slope of the pit, all the way to the bottom of the pit, and then sat down cross-legged.
Although it has been completely destroyed, the Centipede Insect is still alive. Even after more than twenty years, the aura of power of the Sara Iron Tree from back then still remains in this deep pit.
Although it is very weak, it is real.
Lin Feng felt this breath quietly. With the advantage of the iron tree clone having the same species as it, he could clearly feel the most subtle changes in it.
Sitting here for a long time, a long time passed, and suddenly one day, Lin Feng opened his eyes.
Without any warning, a large crack suddenly opened in the void, and a thick, twisting thunder light struck Lin Feng head-on!
This iron tree clone of his is about to survive the thunder tribulation and advance to the Nascent Soul stage.
Once the Nascent Soul stage is achieved, the strength of the Iron Tree clone will take a big step forward.
Lin Feng calmly faced the bombardment of thunder and calamity, not in a hurry, nor in a hurry.
In the past six months, he has been training the Iron Tree clone in the Xuantian Eternal Light Cave. Accelerating the time a hundred times, he has been preparing for decades. He has accumulated abundant spiritual energy, and the capital of the Iron Tree clone is good enough. He has a lot of potential to overcome the thunder tribulation.
Great assurance.
What's more, Lin Feng's body has survived the thunder tribulation and has gained experience and insights. Now the Iron Tree clone just needs to complete the last procedure and completely perfect it.
However, just as Tie Shu cloned himself to overcome the tribulation, Lin Feng suddenly felt that there was a malicious force watching nearby, as if he wanted to take advantage of the situation.
That malice revealed a deep sense of greed, viciousness and cunning, which was very uncomfortable.
Lin Feng ignored it and still concentrated on controlling the Iron Tree clone to undergo the baptism of the Void Thunder Tribulation.
The way the Iron Tree clone overcomes the tribulation is the same as that of the demon clan. It also releases the golden elixir from the body and directly accepts the tribulation thunder bombardment.
When the thunder gradually subsided, the golden elixir of the iron tree clone made a crisp sound, like an egg breaking its shell, showing the slightest cracks.
But this kind of crack is not a crack of damage or destruction, but is full of the breath of new life.
Light shines through the cracks, and a fresh fragrance comes out.
At the same time, the malicious intent snooping on the sidelines became more and more obvious and ready to move.
