The same answer, but the old monk did not disappear like last time. Instead, an ancient and terrifying aura emanated from his body!
Chen Lin thought of a countermeasure quickly in his mind, and at the same time, he calmed his soul. Seeing that the situation was not right, he immediately returned to the real world.
"Why don't you kneel down when you see the Buddha?"
The old monk's voice rang out again, this time extremely angry, as if he was about to attack.
Chen Lin frowned, suspecting that the reason why his words from last time didn't work this time was probably because he and the other party had switched the Buddha statue they were kneeling before, and the same Buddhist words couldn't be used to respond to different Buddha statues.
The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed, so he decided to give it a try, and leave immediately if it didn't work.
Thinking of this, he was on guard and recalled words related to Buddha in his mind.
Then he chose a sentence that fits the situation: "Buddha is an enlightened person, and humans are unenlightened Buddhas. All living beings have Buddha nature. As long as there is Buddha in your heart, everything you see is Buddha. Why do you need to kneel down and worship?"
After saying that, Chen Lin's eyes lit up.
The long-nosed old monk fell into a daze in an instant, just like last time. A strange aura emanated from his body, and his nose began to shrink and become the same as that of a normal person.
Soon, the whole person became faint and disappeared bit by bit.
He breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that different Buddhist verses were needed to deal with it. Fortunately, when he was going through the Nascent Soul Heart Demon Tribulation, he recalled some verses from his previous life.
Although he is no longer as helpless as last time, it is best to solve the problem in this way.
Suddenly, Chen Lin's expression changed and he slowly walked to the place where the old monk disappeared.
I saw another Buddhist bead appear on the cushion, exactly the same as the one I got last time!
"Will you give a Buddhist bead every time you give a matching answer?"
Chen Lin was guessing secretly in his heart.
After sensing it and making sure there was nothing unusual with the Buddhist beads, he picked them up and examined them.
After looking at it for a while, he took out the one he got last time and compared it, and immediately found that there were still some differences between the two Buddhist beads.
The color and size are the same, but the patterns on them are slightly different. When you stick the two beads together, the patterns can still be connected.
He thought thoughtfully, this thing seemed to be a set. He wondered if he could put it together after a few more times, and what changes would occur after they were all put together.
This was not the time to conduct in-depth research, so Chen Lin put away the two Buddhist beads, then left the main hall and went to the backyard.
"My Lord, I've been waiting for a long time!"
Master Wan Meng was standing next to the big clock in the yard, and Chen Lin immediately stepped forward to greet him.
"Haha, I have been here countless times, but I have never been able to enter the front yard. It seems that you, Daoist Chen, are indeed destined to be with Buddha."
Master Wan Meng smiled and did not ask Chen Lin what he encountered before.
The other party did not ask, so Chen Lin did not take the initiative to speak. Instead, he looked at the other party and said, "Sir, there is only one cassock. Can you take the two of us into the small door?"
There was a note next to the small door saying that only those wearing the abbot's robes could enter. He had this doubt before, but when he thought that since the other party had asked him to come over, there should be no problem, he did not ask.
Master Wan Meng nodded, "Yes, as long as you are covered by the cassock, you can go in, but the cassock is too small, it can only cover two people at most."
So that's how it is.
Chen Lin said nothing more and followed Master Wan Meng to the small gate.
The small door was still closed and not locked. He tried pushing it, but it didn't move at all, just like last time.
"You must use the cassock. This looks like a door, but it's actually a teleportation array. Even I can't break it open."
After saying that, Master Wan Meng took out the cassock, shook it open, and covered himself and Chen Lin inside.
"Just go ahead."
He gave a reminder and walked forward.
Chen Lin followed immediately, and walked straight through the door as if he was nothing.
The scene changed and appeared in a small space.
There was nothing else in the space except a huge stone staircase leading downwards. Next to the entrance of the staircase was a towering stone tablet with three large characters "Demon Suppression Tower" written on it!
"This Demon Suppression Tower is upside down, going all the way down. I don't know exactly how many floors it has, but I've only reached the third floor so far."
Master Wan Meng gave a brief explanation.
Chen Lin felt a little surprised. It turned out to be a tower buried underground. It was really weird.
And something that is suppressed by such unconventional means must be extraordinary.
"Sir, can these first two floors suppress the monsters?"
Since it is called the Demon-Suppressing Tower, the demons must be suppressed inside, because the other party came in very anxiously, and he didn't have time to ask about this matter when he was outside.
Master Wan Meng shook his head.
"It's hard to say. You'll know when you see it for yourself. But please follow me and don't wander around on your own."
After saying that, he walked down the stone steps.
Chen Lin hesitated for a moment, but still set out to follow.
The stone steps were very long, and the two walked for a long time before they entered a space similar to a palace.
When Chen Lin saw the scene in the hall, he was stunned.
Monks, all monks!
These monks are standing, sitting, lying or reclining in various postures, and the expressions on their faces show different joy, anger, sorrow and happiness.
But these monks were not alive. Instead, they seemed to be petrified, standing there motionless.
In addition, each monk was wrapped in thick chains, as if he was being tortured.
"These monks can be moved. If you come into contact with them, you will be demonized and become extremely fierce and powerful."
Master Wan Meng explained, and then said: "Even if you don't touch their bodies and just pass through them, these monks will come out to stop you, but the state without demonization seems to be just an illusion, so just ignore it."
"Alright, let's go over there. I've been to this floor many times before, so you won't have any problems if you just follow me."
After instructing Chen Lin, Master Wan Meng passed between the two skinny monks.
Chen Lin saw the two monks suddenly move, one on the left and one on the right, standing in front of Master Wan Meng with their hands clasped together.
"This is a key place to suppress demons. Please do not enter without permission. Please return immediately!"
At the same time, all the monks in the hall came to life and stood in front of Master Wanmeng.
"This is a key place to suppress demons. Please do not enter without permission. Please return immediately!"
"This is a key place to suppress demons. Please do not enter without permission. Please return immediately!"
All the monks made the same sound, one wave higher than the other, deafening.
However, Master Wan Meng completely ignored them, walked straight to the two nearest monks, took a step forward, and passed through their bodies!
Chen Lin watched in amazement.
If it weren't for Master Wan Meng's reminder, he would have no idea that these monks were illusions, and his spiritual sense detection showed no abnormalities. If he had come alone, he would definitely have been caught.
If you don't touch the real body, it is an illusion. If you touch the real body, it will be demonized and become a entity. The existence of the demon world is indeed as unreasonable as ever.
Chen Lin took a breath and quickly followed.
The two monks' eyes were wide open, and they were trying to block the attack, which was extremely real.
He could even feel the other person's body temperature and the air he breathed. It was hard to imagine that it was an illusion.
But at this moment, if he dodges to the left or right, he will come into contact with the position where the two monks were before. If it is really an illusion, he will definitely touch the bodies of the two and cause them to become demons.
Master Wan Meng had already demonstrated it, so he naturally couldn't retreat. He took a step forward and bumped into the bodies of the two monks.
Then, it felt like there was nothing in it, and it passed through the bodies of the two people.
What an illusion.
Chen Lin thought to himself that it was amazing, and then continued to follow behind Master Wan Meng. No matter how many monks tried to stop him, he ignored them and went all the way to the other side.
Another downward stone staircase appeared in front of me.
Looking back at this time, these monks have returned to their previous appearance, like sculptures, and none of them has moved.
"You have to take the odd-numbered steps here. Remember, don't take the wrong steps, otherwise the danger level on the next floor will increase dramatically."
Master Wan Meng reminded again.
Chen Lin nodded solemnly.
This first level is so terrifying, one can imagine what the second level will be like. I don’t know how much time it took the other party to figure out these rules. He must have encountered a lot of hardships.
Following the example of Master Wan Meng, he took one step at a time and successfully reached the second floor.
This is also a hall, larger than the first floor.
But there are not so many monks, instead there are many Buddha statues.
Chen Lin took a quick look and found that each of these Buddha statues looked ferocious and held a sword in their hands.
"This is a killing array. This is the first time I failed to find the rules. I almost died here when I tried to force my way in. You must not act rashly."
There was a hint of fear in Master Wan Meng's voice, as if this place had left him with bad memories.
Chen Lin nodded immediately.
Even the opponent was almost dead, so he was even worse off. Whether in terms of cultivation strength or understanding of the demon world, there was a huge gap between him and the opponent.
"Follow me!"
This time, Master Wan Meng did not explain how to break the killing formation, but started walking forward directly, and Chen Lin followed immediately.
Then he discovered that Master Wanmeng circled each Buddha statue three times, both forwards and backwards, and almost made him lost before he finally walked out of the killing array.
Chen Lin secretly memorized the whole process in his mind so that he could use it if he came in alone to explore in the future.
"Take an even number of steps on this staircase."
When Master Wan Meng's voice sounded, Chen Lin followed him down.
The third floor.
This floor is also a large hall, smaller than the previous two floors.
And this floor is also very clean, there is nothing extra, and there are not even any steps leading down!
There were only seven monks, sitting in the center of the hall.
The seven monks formed a circle, each with a wooden fish in front of him and a hammer in his hand.
They were also motionless, just like the monks on the first floor, as if they had become frozen.
And in the middle of the enclosure, there is a snow-white lotus.
Seeing this scene, Chen Lin's brows frowned instantly, and a look of surprise and doubt appeared.
This scene was exactly the same as the ancient temple space that he had entered using the Seven Buddhas Picture in Guyuan City.
If he remembered correctly, even the appearance of these seven monks was exactly the same as in the Seven Buddhas Picture!
