Leaving the first floor, Jiang Chen came to the second floor. As soon as he stepped here, Jiang Chen seemed to have come to another world. His mind was gradually obscured, and he was directly trapped in a hundred reincarnations!
Jiang Chen transformed into a mortal and experienced infancy, childhood, youth, middle age, and finally old age. Everything was very real.
Here, he has his own children, his own lover, his own regrets and beauty, he is like a real mortal.
When he was dying, Jiang Chen saw the world slowly collapsing, sometimes turning into chaos, and sometimes reappearing as sentient beings, and so on. It seemed that as long as he died, the world would die with him!
"Okay, it's time to end!"
On his deathbed, Jiang Chen suddenly stood up from the hospital bed, and then everything around him was shattered. He stood in the middle of the second floor, with an incense burner in front of him, which was full of incense ashes and full of life.
After the hazy cigarette floated up, Jiang Chen seemed to be able to see worlds emerging and disillusioned in it.
"One grain of sand is one world, one leaf is one bodhi. Buddhism has indeed gone far enough in this step. However, illusion is just illusion after all. Winter and summer are just a dream!"
"You have obviously fallen into it and will be able to embark on bliss immediately. Why do you suddenly realize it in the end?"
Seeing Jiang Chen's appearance, the voice in the void was very confused. He was sure that Jiang Chen had been addicted to this illusion, otherwise his illusion would not have lasted for so long!
"Indulgence is just to experience such a peaceful life!"
Jiang Chen smiled slightly, and then waved his hand to disperse the hazy illusion above the incense burner. Since he saw through it the first time, it will naturally not affect him the second time!
"At this time, there is a person like you who is determined to seek the truth, but yearns for an ordinary life!"
There was another sigh in the void, and then the incense burner glowed, and the shadow of a naive middle-aged man appeared from above and came to Jiang Chen.
"The spirit of the Buddhist magical weapon is not a monk!"
The prosecutor saw the appearance of this weapon spirit and chuckled.
"Haha, this image is not arbitrary. I can change it into whatever Taoist friend likes!"
The naive middle-aged man in front of him immediately turned into a master who looked compassionate, then turned into a majestic human emperor, and then turned into a charming and enchanting beautiful girl, walking forward and getting close to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen just looked at him like this, and finally the girl turned into the image of a middle-aged man.
"Where was this woman back then?"
Jiang Chen finally spoke. This middle-aged woman turned into the image of Yan Ruyu, the princess of the demon clan. Jiang Chen did not directly attack him, which was already a great honor to him!
"I don't know. I only care about things on this level. If someone comes, I will wake up. If no one comes, I will fall asleep!"
The middle-aged man shook his head. Even if the weapon spirit takes longer to acquire than the monks, they are not immortal. If they keep resurrecting, even the imperial soldiers will one day decay.
"This temple is very strange. It even has Buddhist instruments from evil Buddhists like you!"
Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes and felt a little confused. What kind of place was this Qinglian Temple? From top to bottom, there was something strange about it.
Before entering, Jiang Chen thought this place was a secret place in the Western Desert of Buddhism, but after entering, Jiang Chen felt that the monks here were dishonest and broke the precepts when he opened his mouth.
Entering this three-story Buddhist temple, the Buddhist instruments enshrined here are so unreliable that they evolve into three thousand illusory worlds for the sake of killing, completely deviating from the original intention of Buddhism to be compassionate.
"Isn't it strange? In this world, cause and effect reincarnate, there are black and white. Who said that the Buddha wants everyone to accumulate virtue and do good deeds in this world? What the Buddha pays attention to is the dharma of fate. As long as you indulge in my afterlife world, I will send you
Wouldn’t it be just as desired to go to the real world of the afterlife?”
"Human beings are born to face the suffering of this world and the erosion of the worldly atmosphere. They are born with sins. Only by rebirth in this world can we wash away our sins and reach the true state of bliss!"
The incense burner spirit has already started brainwashing Jiang Chen without knowing it. You are not as naive as he is.
But Jiang Chen was not moved by him at all. He could see that Qinglian Temple was completely heretical in Buddhism.
What sends you to the ultimate bliss, and why do you have to pay for the sins you have committed in this life for the sake of Buddhism in the next life, and the next life after that?
Bah, it sounds grand. If Amitabha is still alive, he will break his precepts and slap these unscrupulous believers to death!
Jiang Chen ignored the weapon spirit, and after searching for it for a while, he waved away the disguise on the wall and found a way to go up to the third floor.
"Fellow Taoist, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva once said, If the hell is not empty for a day, you will not become a Buddha. The golden lotus will guide the good deeds, and the underworld will guide the destined ones!"
Before stepping onto the third floor, the weapon spirit said in Jiang Chen's ear.
Finally leaving the second floor, the connecting portal was instantly closed, and Jiang Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he acted very calmly, only he knew how dangerous it was just now.
That incense burner is not really as naive as it looks. It is a fierce weapon!
Although he suppressed his ferocious nature in the temple, Jiang Chen knew what the patterns on the ground around the incense burner were.
It was an exorcism formation pattern that suppressed the peerless evil soldiers. Although Taoism and Buddhism were different, they reached the same goal through different paths, so Jiang Chen could naturally recognize it.
And even though this incense burner spirit seems to be easy to talk to, Jiang Chen can feel a strong malice corroding his soul every moment, and 60% of Jiang Chen's energy is used to suppress this erosion.
That's why he said that this temple is not only strange, it's just like the Little Leiyin Temple in Lao Wu's Journey to the West!
The third floor is nothing special. The first thing you see is a mural. There is a Buddha walking around the world and saving all sentient beings, and a Bodhisattva appearing in the world and being worshiped by all people.
One of the murals caught Jiang Chen's attention. The image of the Buddha was exactly the eight-armed Buddha enshrined below.
Jiang Chen observed carefully and found that the Buddha seemed to have a very high status in Buddhism. Not only was he followed by Arhat Bodhisattva every time he appeared, but there were also 108 haloes appearing behind his head, in which the world of three thousand sentient beings was looming.
His morality.
This is a Buddha who is about to attain enlightenment, comparable to the status of Amitabha.
However, not long after, the style of the mural began to change. The eight-armed Buddha, who was about to become the Lord Buddha, began to have black energy on his body, and the light of the Buddha was also blocked.
This was a sign of being possessed by Buddhists, and then the eight-armed Buddha on the mural and his followers began to become possessed, and even some of the believers also followed suit.
The eight-armed Buddha walked the world, traveled across the stars, and widely spread his teachings. However, some of his actions were extremely bloody, including forcibly converting others to serve Buddhism, suppressing them with force, and withered bones accumulating at the feet of the Buddha.
This is a powerful Demon Buddha. It is so powerful that even if it is known that he is a Demon Buddha, Buddhism cannot do anything to him. In the end, he takes over Mount Sumeru. That is the nightmare of thousands of Buddhist monks!
Finally, a majestic figure appeared on the screen. His true appearance was not described, only a green lotus was always by his side.
He suppressed the Eight-Armed Buddha with one hand, and the Buddhists built a temple where he imprisoned the Buddha, named Qinglian Temple.
The man is the Qing Emperor. Before he became the emperor, the Qing Emperor was able to suppress the unrivaled Buddhist leader. You can see how powerful he is!
When the picture ends, what is left are nothing more than some murals depicting the restoration of Buddhism and the bright light of the Buddha shining on the world again, praising Amitabha.
But Jiang Chen searched for a long time and couldn't find anything. Let alone Yan Ruyu, there was no mouse here.
He did not hesitate to destroy these walls, but every time these walls would be repaired as intact as before. Jiang Chen was sure that Yan Ruyu was not on this three-story building.
Thinking of what the incense burner spirit said to him before setting foot on the third floor, Jiang Chen guessed that maybe Yan Ruyu was not above, but below.
When Jiang Chen went downstairs, the incense burner spirit had fallen into a deep sleep, and Jiang Chen didn't even think about waking up this vicious soldier again.
The Buddha statue on the first floor has recovered on its own. There is no accident. It was shattered by Jiang Chen again. Otherwise, there would be a group of monks chanting sutras in your ears all the time, and ten people would not be able to bear it.
Jiang Chen stepped on the floor, and as a result, arrays of formations lit up under his feet. There were the Buddhist swastika seals suppressing them, and the Demon Emperor's great emperor formations flashing.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Chen was sure that he had found the right one.
Just now on the third floor, Jiang Chen forcibly destroyed all the walls on the third floor, but the formation pattern was not activated. Now he just stepped on it, and the Emperor's formation pattern revived. The place where the Eight-Armed Buddha was suppressed should be here.
Below this Qinglian Temple.
Jiang Chen immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and started to use the formation. What he needed was not to break the formation. It was set up by the Qing Emperor and the Buddhist masters back then.
Even if Jiang Chen's formation talent is high, it has not reached this level. What he has to do now is to see if he can see clearly what's going on inside.
If Yan Ruyu wasn't inside, wouldn't my work have been in vain?
After releasing his spiritual thoughts, he used the Dragon Searching Technique and the Secret Formation to break down the complicated formation pattern bit by bit and find the weak points. Only then could Jiang Chen start to break the formation and sneak in a wisp of divine will to check the situation!
Dao Wen seemed to be breathing. Jiang Chen's deep spiritual thoughts followed his breathing. When he exhaled, his spiritual thoughts rushed in, looking for loopholes. When he inhaled, he stopped moving. I love you, causing a big formation.
Notice.
The surroundings were like a battlefield densely covered with light and text, with a large network of Dao patterns everywhere. He was like dancing a ballet on a tightrope.
Finally, at the moment when the Green Emperor's brand and the Buddhist brand intertwined with each other, Jiang Chen successfully smuggled in a ray of spiritual thought.
Entering the underground of Qinglian Temple, this is an underground palace. As soon as you enter, you feel that the Buddha's light is shining here, as if you have entered a Buddhist holy place.
But it was strange that Jiang Chen sensed the eerie feeling revealed in this place, and knew that a withered skeleton wearing a cassock appeared in front of him.
The bones are golden, and even if they have been dead for a long time, they still have a golden halo on them.
This is the corpse of a saint, probably a follower of the Eight-Armed Buddha who was suppressed by the Qing Emperor and returned here.
The further you go, the more corpses there are, and in the end they even appear in pieces.
"We were wrong. What took us to the ultimate bliss, what boundless love, what great ambitions, they are just an interface for selfish desires!"
"He is a demon, not a Buddha, a man-eating demon!"
"Amitabha, we were wrong. I am willing to stay with you in the next life to atone for our sins!"
…………
Jiang Chen saw the last words left by these monks before they died on the floor. They all had a tone of awakening but helplessness.
It seems that the Qing Emperor had some hidden agenda when he suppressed the Eight-Armed Buddha. Maybe this guy had done something outrageous!
In front of it is a large hall, like the Buddhist Lingshan Leiyin Temple. There are countless Buddha statues in it, but their faces are all very ferocious, not like normal Buddhist images.
Sitting cross-legged on a lotus throne is a figure with a solemn face. He has a big head and ears that can hang down to his shoulders. There are eight arms behind his back, holding different instruments to represent various Buddhist dharma.
The figure's eyes were closed tightly, as if it were asleep. The body was crystal clear and lifelike, as if it had been carefully carved. Every part was in line with the great road, making people feel an impulse of faith when they saw it.
Even Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted with a horrified expression on his face!
"This fucking corpse has so much power. If it does, it will be unreasonable!"
Jiang Chen thought to himself, if he were allowed to go out, stand outside, and subdue a group of younger brothers in a matter of minutes, if he became a Buddha, wouldn't he all have to believe in Buddhism at this time?
The Qing Emperor can ask for people to establish the Heavenly Court. These people have been converted by your Buddhist sect. I, the demon clan, in the Heavenly Court, will drink from the northwest wind!
"Should!"
Jiang Chen made a sincere evaluation. It was only his fault that he met the perverted Qing Emperor. He had such a rare and powerful spirit. How could such a demonic monk be allowed to live in this world!
In this Buddhist temple, Jiang Chen also saw Yan Ruyu's figure, and she was indeed here.
Afterwards, she sat cross-legged, with a green lantern beside her.
Yan Ruyu frowned slightly, as if there was a mysterious and fierce battle going on in his soul. There seemed to be a bridge between him and the eight-armed Buddha...
No, it's not the connection between her and the Eight-Armed Buddha, but the connection with the Golden Lotus Throne under the Eight-Armed Buddha.
Only then did Jiang Chen notice that there was some kind of golden lotus throne of Buddhism. It was obviously a cage, trapping the eight-armed Buddha on it and connecting it to his physical body.
This should be the method left behind by the Qing Emperor, and the purpose of Yan Ruyu's coming here is probably the Golden Lotus Throne!
However, she did not expect that even though the eight-armed Buddha had already sat down and transformed, his power was still so terrifying for the time being. The power of transformation naturally emitted by his body was already too much for her to withstand!
If it weren't for the demon emperor's soldiers around him, I'm afraid Yan Ruyu would have been saved by this eight-armed Buddha!
Yes, the green lantern next to Yan Ruyu is the magic lamp refined from the Demon Emperor's Imperial Armament and Chaos Green Lotus. It can also be called the Baolian Lantern!
The whole body is covered with a green halo, which is like a carefully carved jade. There is a wisp of flame burning in the lotus head, which will never go out for ten thousand years. The mysterious lines are flowing on the lotus lamp, and even without a circle of lines rippling, Yan Ruyu's expression changes.
Gotta relax a little bit.
As if feeling someone approaching, the lotus lamp emitted a wave of fluctuations, and suddenly circles of void ripples spread towards Jiang Chen, causing Jiang Chen's whole body to tremble.
