Qin Mu, Ma Ye and others speeded up, but Ma Ye needed to calm Granny Si's mind, and it felt increasingly difficult, so he slowed down gradually.
Leader Li is growing rapidly, and Granny Si's cultivation is getting stronger and stronger. Master Ma does not dare to take action with all his strength, for fear of hurting Granny Si's soul, which will bring many unstable variables to this trip.
Granny Si wakes up less and less often, Leader Li wakes up more often, and Qin Mu is also anxious, but powerless.
This basin was originally an ocean, which should be the East China Sea mentioned by the statue of the King of Heaven. The terrain is also extremely complex, with deep ravines and chasms reaching tens of thousands of feet, and high mountains as sharp as a knife blade.
The original East China Sea has turned into land, and the sea water has disappeared. There is no sea water. However, Qin Mu feels a little strange. He heard from the villagers here that the sea floats in the sky and is filled with sea water at night, but it disappears during the day.
So where did the sea water go?
The deeper you go, the weirder and more powerful the creatures here become. There are also glowing jellyfish flying around in the sky. When night falls, the jellyfish will hide in the temple, like big colorful lanterns.
They also met living dragons, some living in deep streams, some living in volcanoes, and they ruled the land as kings.
As long as he didn't provoke them, these dragons rarely came out. Occasionally, Qin Mu saw the dragons fly out of their nests and go to the villages to catch people to eat. When he saw them on the road, the dragons saw that they were very powerful and did not dare to act recklessly.
Just flew by.
Out of this basin, it is only two days' journey from Mount Sumeru.
In the past few days, Qin Mu and the others did not even dare to relax when sleeping. They were always ready to wake up and suppress Leader Li. It was really hard work. Only Long Qilin slept well and ate well, and his fur and scales were shiny.
Qin Mu and others simply jumped on the back of Long Qilin and let the huge beast carry them towards Mount Sumeru.
Gradually, more and more people believe in Buddhism in the villages along the way, and every household worships Buddha statues. Some even put the Buddha statues together with the stone statues in the village, worshiping both gods and Buddhas.
After Qin Mu inquired about it, he learned that some monks came to give lectures and cure diseases in the villagers, so they were very popular.
"Buddhism is also interesting to Daxu."
The blind man smiled and said: "The Daleiyin Temple's treatment of the abandoned people of the Great Market does have some meaning of equality for all living beings, but it is just too cunning and seems to be using the name of the stone statue to accumulate virtue."
The closer you get to Da Leiyin Temple, the more Buddhist temples there are. Some temples are very prosperous and enshrine different forms of Buddha statues. However, at night, the people and strange beasts of Daxu will not hide in these temples. They are still
Hide in places with stone statues and idols.
Qin Mu thought: "The Tathagata has good intentions, but it is still difficult to compete with the gods in the ruins. He can only cure diseases, but cannot save lives."
There were gradually more and more mountain peaks nearby, and there were many temples of various sizes. Qin Mu and the others passed by several temples. It was getting late and they planned to stay in a temple for the night.
The temple is full of incense and there are hundreds of monks. Even at night, they are not afraid at all and continue to chant Buddha and chant sutras.
"Do these monks have great magical powers that can withstand the darkness of the Great Ruins?" Qin Mu was surprised.
Unexpectedly, many Buddha statues emitted faint divine light in the dark night, blocking out the darkness. Qin Mu approached a Buddha statue and looked at it, and his face turned dark.
The monks in this temple actually applied a layer of clay on the outside of the Daxu stone statue, and then fired it to look like a Buddha statue. They pasted gold foil on the outside and dressed it up as a golden Buddha. At night, the stone statue protected one side, and it looked like the Buddha was standing there.
Exhibiting Buddha's power is like protecting all sentient beings.
Qin Mu looked with his heavenly eyes and saw that a god protecting the ruins was emitting a boundless divine light, not the light of a Buddha statue.
There are also some ferocious and unusual beasts in the temple. They never leave the temple during the day. The monks in the temple seem to be familiar with them. These strange beasts are not tied up and are allowed to roam around the temple.
Surprisingly, these man-eating beasts are very docile in the temple, and they appear to be eating fast and chanting Buddha's name. They have changed from their ferocious nature. Some residents of Daxu who stayed here said that this is the power of Buddhism.
However, Qin Mu saw the monk secretly feeding these strange beasts large chunks of flesh, and there was a smell of anesthetic in the meat.
Qin Mu was stunned and frowned.
"Mu'er, don't worry too much."
The blind man whispered: "Da Leiyin Temple is very close. Smashing the temple here will only let Daleiyin Temple get the news. Giving us little shoes to wear may not save Granny Si."
"hypocritical!"
Granny Si sneered and said: "This is the hypocrisy of Buddhism. You obviously don't have great magical powers, but you take other people's magical powers into yourself and boast about the power of Buddhism. Blind man, Mr. Ma, you are also hypocritical. You don't dare to seek help from the Tathagata.
Expose these bald donkeys!"
Qin Mu said: "If you have great supernatural powers, won't Master Li know it when you meet Lao Tathagata at Daleiyin Temple?"
Granny Si giggled and said: "Master Qin, are you worthy of being the leader of our Holy Religion? You are the leader of our Heavenly Saint Religion, but you go to the old Tathagata of a rival sect to do something for you, which is an insult to the reputation of our Heavenly Saint Religion! I
The majesty of the Heavenly Holy Religion has been completely destroyed by you! After I completely recover, I will return to the Holy Religion to reorganize it and show you what the Holy Religion Leader should do!"
Qin Mu remained calm and said, "What should the Holy Cult Master do?"
"Tear off the hypocritical masks of these old bald donkeys, smash these Buddha statues to reveal the gods inside!"
Granny Si said leisurely: "Undo the anesthesia in these strange beasts, let the strange beasts eat people, reveal their true nature, wash the bald donkeys here with blood, and eat all the bald thieves in the temple! Let these stupid people see what nonsense they are.
Buddhism is of no use at all, it’s just superficial! Hehe, the so-called right path is nothing but shit, so let the shit show its true face and don’t put a layer of gold on the outside of the mud! This is the teaching of my Tiansheng Sect.
, the true and correct solution of letting nature take its course!"
Qin Mu felt that what he said made sense, but his approach was a bit extreme. He originally wanted to unblock the anesthetics in these alien beasts, but thought that the alien beasts would eat people when they woke up, so he had to give up.
Finally, the Great Leiyin Temple was in sight, and in the distance I saw a majestic mountain standing in the center of the Shenduan Mountains. The other mountains were cut open by infinite power, forming cliffs that were difficult for birds to cross and covered with snow-capped mountains. Only this mountain remained the same.
It is vast and vast, with numerous hills and mountains surrounding the main peak.
Strangely enough, the peaks here form layers of stairs. At the bottom are three thousand hills, forming a big circle. On the second level are 999 hills, and on the next level there are ninety-nine hills.
On the top of the mountain, there are nine mountain tops one level higher, one level higher than the other, guarding the main peak in the center.
There are many temples on the hills, large and small, enshrining huge and towering Buddha statues. Some hills are simply carved into giant Buddhas, some temples are built on the palms of the Buddha, and some temples are built in the heart.
“It’s all about luxury and style.”
The blind man praised: "Master Ma, why do you always like to wear gold and silver in your Buddhist temple? It is so magnificent and luxurious, wouldn't it be good if it was used to relieve disasters and help the world? The monks have nothing, except their hands."
Mr. Ma said calmly: "If you are not impressive, who will worship the Buddha and who will make the offerings?"
Granny Si sneered: "Hypocritical..."
Qin Mu shouted: "Shut up! Lao Tathagata will refine you to death later!"
"You brat, even I dare to scold you!" Granny Si was furious.
Qin Mu was at a loss and said calmly: "It turns out to be mother-in-law. Don't take it to heart, mother-in-law. I thought it was Leader Li who ran out again."
Granny Si sneered and said: "These thieves are obviously hypocritical, Mr. Ma, I am not talking about you. Go and look around. Which temple is not grand, luxurious and extravagant? Which Buddha statue is not wearing gold and silver, and is made of gold?
Body? Among all the temples, only these bald donkey temples are the most luxurious! These monks do not produce or pay taxes. They make irresponsible remarks when their interests are affected. They also raise monk soldiers, rebel, and want to control the general trend of the world.
.”
"Shut up you monster!"
Suddenly there was an angry shout in the air. Qin Mu looked up and saw a solemn monk wearing a Buddha's light in the air. Apparently he heard Granny Si's words while passing by and scolded her angrily.
When the monk saw Lord Ma, he was shocked and ran away, shouting loudly: "It's bad, it's bad! God Horse King is coming up the mountain again!"
In the temples on the mountain peaks, the monks flew up in an uproar and stood in mid-air to form formations, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Mr. Ma said calmly: "When I came to retrieve my arm last time, there was a little commotion. Let's go up the mountain."
Fire clouds emerged from the soles of Dragon Qilin's feet and rushed towards the main peak in the center.
The main peak hangs high above the sea of clouds. It is illuminated by the sun on the sea of clouds and shines with golden light, so it is called the Golden Summit. Even a dragon unicorn will take some time to fly up there. There are thousands of temples along the way.
The eminent monks who have achieved great success in cultivation and have great supernatural powers do not dare to step forward to stop them, but they are not willing to let them go directly to the Golden Summit of Mount Sumeru.
More and more monks flew out, riding various strange beasts, forming formations around the golden dome, densely packed layer after layer, preparing to subjugate demons.
Qin Mu couldn't help but admire Master Ma: "Last time Master Ma came over, I'm afraid he fought directly and reached the main peak."
Master Ma asked Long Qilin to stop. He saw tens of thousands of monks in front of him forming a copper wall to protect the golden roof. He said, "I came to see the Tathagata and I have something to ask for."
His voice vibrated, and suddenly the mountains were filled with visions, golden springs gushed from the ground, lotuses fell from the sky, eight celestial dragons' phantoms appeared in the sky, twenty layers of phantoms of gods and goddesses appeared in the sky, visions continued, and brilliance shone everywhere.
, chanting the Buddha’s name in unison.
This mantra has subdued countless monks.
At this moment, I suddenly heard an old voice on the top of the golden roof laugh and say: "The horse king god's cultivation is even better than before. The twenty levels of heavens in the Tathagata Mahayana Sutra. If you think about it, you have already cultivated to the Brahma realm. If you go one step further, you will be the Tathagata."
Come on. Monks, please step back and let him come up. I have been waiting for him for a long time."
"Twenty heavens?" Qin Mu was slightly startled and looked at Master Ma.
The copper wall and iron wall formed by the monks in front dispersed. Ma Ye asked Long Qilin to walk up the mountain and said: "These are the twenty kinds of heavenly realms in the Tathagata Mahayana Sutra. After practicing the twenty heavenly realms, you are the Tathagata. When I left Mahayana
When I was in Leiyin Temple, I had already reached the 19th level of Heavenly Emperor Shitian realm, and I am already the strongest person in the world."
