Under the twisted and weird black dead wood, a group of Buddhist masters sat together, forming a circle, surrounding the old bodhi tree in the Lonely Garden in the past, which is the one that Fan Wujie saw just now. Life and death contain the devil and the Buddha, the bodhi tree of the past stands in the lonely garden in the present that is lying in the devil's soil.
Life and death, withering and glory, demon and Buddha, the past and the present are all intertwined, one half is brilliant and holy like a Buddha, the other half is dead and distorted, dead and silent like a demon, this extraordinary tree shines brightly, and a tree appears under the tree A hazy shadow.
The shadow is vague, and it can only be seen that it is a woman wearing a necklace, four shawls with braided hair, and a three-beaded crown on her head. She has plump cheeks and square cheeks. The Bodhisattva with immeasurable light on his back, with his cassock on his hands, hangs naturally by his side. Although his face is blurred, people can feel the faint smile on his mouth.
It seems to contain some kind of secret and unobtainable truth, all kinds of impermanence in the world.
"Under the bodhi tree, there is a shadow of a Bodhisattva listening to the lecture!" The unknown old monk secretly said in surprise, "If it is really the only tree for the lonely garden in the past, as the devil said, which Buddha is it? The Bodhisattva listened to the lecture here, leaving behind this indestructible shadow? This Bodhisattva seemed to hear the beauty of the World Honored One's teaching, and smiled, but branded the shadow of this moment under the Bodhi tree."
"I don't know how many kalpas I left the shadow in Zhishu in the Lonely Garden, and it has never been erased by the demonic thoughts that echo here."
"This Bodhisattva's Taoism is very high... far surpassing me!" The unknown old monk sighed, "I just don't know if this Bodhisattva escaped the catastrophe of Zhishu to Lonely Garden?"
The nameless old monk heard the obscenities and insults from the demonic people behind him. The demonic people became more angry than one another, and the voices of cursing were very loud. The tens of meters old monks chanted silently to each other. The subtle and pure Buddha light is centered on this circle of cross-legged sitting, illuminating the transparency and brightness of the space.
But beyond this circle of light of about 100 meters, there is boundless darkness. Countless ghosts hide in the darkness, and layers of dark figures squirm and struggle like dark ghosts.
The dark ghosts and creatures enveloped the entire demonic soil, just like the black sea. Countless dark shadows are the sea water. They flow, surge, permeate, squeeze together, and are isolated from the light circle.
"Vald donkey!" The voice of the Blood Slaughter Demon King came from the darkness. He was only a shadow in the darkness, standing not far away, and sneered, "Did you see? All the Buddhas lying here are your Buddhas! The World Honored One has such a cruel heart, anyway, he got along with him here, but he was silenced after hearing the old man who killed the Demon Ancestor!"
An old monk with a fiery temper twitched his eyebrows, and the voice of chanting scriptures suddenly became louder.
His sea of consciousness is now full of malice from the Taoists of the Demon Sect. Their ridicule, ridicule, and disdain are becoming more and more vivid and real under the blessing of their thoughts.
"I guess it can't be said..." The leader of Wusheng said hehe: "Take the bones here, take them back and cremate them, and burn them. At least a thousand or eight hundred stone relics can be produced! It is enough for every Buddhist temple in the heavens and myriad worlds." I got a share. This is a sacred object that can be enshrined! Just like that, you bald donkeys are worth the trip!"
"It's more than that! When Sakyamuni was cremated, there seemed to be more than 84,000 relics. Now in the famous temples of the heavens, there is only one hand. It is very productive! I think so! There are so many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas here. , are all famous powers in the scriptures, no matter how you get them, you can’t burn less than those non-famous Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the heavens! It is said that the Dalanda Temple invented a cremation method, only need to add glass, gold and silver, coral , amber, clam, agate, lead, tin and other accessories."
"The output can be increased tenfold!" an old devil sarcastically said in a low voice.
"Is this burning glazed beads or burning relics?" The leader of Wusheng laughed and said, "Old Corpse God, you are a professional. Have you tried to develop Shariputra Corpse or something?"
The old corpse god who turned into an ancient tree said very frankly: "According to my research, the important factor affecting the sintering of relics is the seven treasures inlaid on the body of Buddhist gold. The seven treasures contain many materials that can be used to refine glaze and water essence. That is to say, it is glass frit. Because it moistens the magic power and Buddha nature of the golden body, these are very good materials. In addition, it is refined with the Buddhist golden body as fuel, and it is easy to refine the relics and essence of power. This divine object is the relic."
"Later, I colluded with Abbot Tuodu of Dalanda Temple to secretly adjust the ingredients for the cremation of the golden body, and researched several prescriptions suitable for crystallization and glassization. The bones of the golden body were used as the main ingredient, with reasonable ingredients. The finished product rate of sintered relics has been greatly increased. And the gloss and appearance are more beautiful, and the quality has not declined, but has increased!"
"As a result, the production of Dalanda Temple has increased greatly, and even exported to temples in other heavens... It's a pity that he killed the donkey in the end and murdered me in a transaction... But I didn't suffer. I took the opportunity to count him and rob him. He took away a large amount of his golden body stock. He also got the method of using corpses to make alchemy, which expanded our business of exorcising corpses."
"In the past, corpses could only be used to refine zombies. Now, not only can corpses be refined, but also relics and spiritual treasures can be refined, which enriches the efficiency of the use of magic resources and implements the policy of Styx Demon Ancestor's innovation in the magic way and the creation of the magic way. , and was even commended by the Lord of the Corpse Demons, which raised the ranking of our Zombie Sect's descendants."
"Because the Dao relics, magic relics, and martial relics refined from the corpses of Xuanmen orthodox and casual cultivators, martial arts monks, and demon monks do not have the brand effect of Buddhism, and because other monks do not have the tradition of burning relics." Corpse The old man proudly said: "So in order to ship in large quantities and stabilize the market, with the help of the traditional famous brand effect, we have also invented the technology of using other types of monk corpses to burn Buddhist relics, burn fake relics, and launch counterfeit products. Although the high-end market is still monopolized by the Dalanda Temple, the mid-to-low-end relics of the seventh floor on the market are all products from our corpse demon lineage!"
"Don't look at those Buddhist temples in the heavens, no matter how big or small they are, they all enshrine powerful relics and the bones of their predecessors. In fact, who knows what kind of stuff they burned! If it's a Taoist cultivator...if it's from our Demon Sect Senior Quan Xia Youzhi, I have done all kinds of evil all my life, and when I die, I can still pretend to be a great power of Buddhism and be worshiped by others, I will definitely forgive us for stealing their tombs!"
"The most amazing thing is my successor, Shi Guzi! He creatively invented the technique of refining relics from the bones of monsters. Monsters are all bulky, burn-resistant and cheap products, which made our cost break through a lower limit again. , Now it is preparing to attack the lowest-end market! There are hundreds of times more Buddhist believers than monks, and it is a bigger market! Using ultra-low-end relics to earn money from these people, on the one hand, satisfies their beliefs, and on the other hand On the one hand, it is also opening up another battlefield to compete with Buddhism for resources!"
"Those bald donkeys in the Buddhist sect, cheating believers of their money with empty words, are too shameless! We are engaged in imitation of Buddhist artifacts, listed on the market under the cover of Tantra, and engaged in relic sales, and the alliance of demonic sects specializing in the Buddhist market. Exchanging products for money... I don't know where I am more noble than them!"
"Next, we plan to use the shells of several traditional Buddhist temples to allow a group of disciples to switch to the way of the magic Buddha, open the door to the world for cheap, build temples run by the disciples of the magic way, and open up Buddhist-type markets around these temples. Sell faith souvenirs, offerings, objects of gods and Buddhas, and relics of Buddha treasures, and make our Demon Gate Dao brighter!"
"Clatter clatter!" There was a uniform applause in the darkness, and all the old devils praised him endlessly: "The corpse is so beautiful..."
"The future is bright!"
"The corpse god old man is really a good man of my demonic way, it's a pity to be stuck here and be a tree!"
"If we control this demonic soil, wouldn't our Demonic Dao be able to intervene in the high-end industry of relics?" Wusheng Cult Master murmured.
Yuan Yu echoed: "Yes! It is a waste to let the Dalanda Temple eat the fattest meat! Anyway, Buddhism doesn't eat meat, why don't you give it to us? With this batch of materials, we can It’s time to make more high-end relic products! Wouldn’t it be a pleasure to sell them back to Buddhism?”
"So none of the mighty corpses here can be left for Buddhism!"
"It's all here, at least let them take a few home! Even if it's a gift from our friendship!" the blood slaughter leader said boldly.
"There are so many huge monsters in the blood sea, we have to develop our own magic path relics and blood sea relics... It seems that there are already bone relics on the bone magic path, right?" The leader encouraged: "Then we must develop our own relic culture of the magic way, and spread the relic brand of our magic way."
"The relics were the first sacred objects burned by Buddhism, but they were obsessed with the sacred halo of the tradition of relics, they dared not break the tradition, break the superstition, and study how relics were made. This is the rigidity and ignorance of Buddhism. Our magic way Under the teachings of the ancestor Styx, the ancestor of killing demons, he pays attention to innovation, encourages invention, asks the bottom of things, and has the spirit of devout research, inquiring, and tracing the way! He has a high degree of curiosity and creativity... "
"Here I would like to criticize my colleagues... The relic is not a new thing, but a classic traditional thing. Buddhism has been fooled by itself, and we demons can't see through this superstitious halo, and we haven't settled down to study it. Fortunately, there is an excellent leader of the Demon Sect, the old corpse god. He is not afraid of the worldly vision, has breakthrough thinking, dares to innovate, boldly colludes with the holy land of Buddhism, and even researches revolutionary technology to strengthen the power of Buddhism. "
"This is the spirit of selfishness in our Demon Sect. I can take advantage of it and let other fellows live or die!"
"During the period when the Corpse Sect colluded with Dalanda Temple, I don't know how many fellow demon sects were cheated by the sudden explosion of relic production, and I don't know how many Buddhist monks jumped because of the help of relics... If you are in Buddhism, this is a traitor .But in my demonic sect... my demonic way does not condemn the victors, we not only see the growth of the power of Buddhism, but also the infiltration of our demonic values."
"Gains and losses in strength are all temporary. Only by implementing the values of selfishness, mercenary, and profit-only theory in our Demon Sect is the foundation for the eternal prosperity of the Demon Dao... This is the path pointed out by our Demon Slaying Ancestor Master Minghe with great foresight! "
"Support the Styx Demon Ancestor, support the values of the Demonic Dao!" The Blood Slaughter Demon Lord made an impromptu speech, highly appraising the corpse exorcising sect's behavior of harming others and benefiting oneself, and mercenary for profit. There was thunderous applause at the moment, while Fan Wujie complained about the strange three views of the Demon Dao, while secretly admiring that the Blood Slaughter Demon Lord was able to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Demon Dao Allied Forces in an inconspicuous body.
Among other things, this speech is able to grasp the theoretical core of the magic way!
"The core of the industrialization of relics is product specialization. Compared with the prehistoric era, the resources of the heavens and the world are almost exhausted. This puts forward requirements for our utilization efficiency of spiritual resources. The most important thing is the theoretical Specialization and specialization are the specialization, professionalization and shortcut of alchemy refining equipment!"
"We have to sum up alchemy and tool refining methods that are more in line with the Dao."
"The success of the old corpse god lies in breaking through the aura of superstition on the relics, and analyzing the production of relics from the professional perspective of alchemy and refining tools. This concept must be promoted... No resources are sacred. If you don’t change it, you will ignore the great way hidden in it... Buddhism has worshiped relics for so many years, has no one really thought of how to increase the production of relics?"
"Some Buddhist sects burn relics with astonishingly high efficiency. Later, after research by the old corpse god, the quality and quantity of the golden bodies cultivated by certain Buddhist exercises are extremely high. He killed a small Zongmen, they only researched it after robbing them of the method of cultivating the golden body. It turns out that the quality and combat effectiveness of the golden body produced by this cultivation method are not high, but they are very suitable for sintering relics. So they tricked some geniuses into practicing this method , because the quality of the golden body is very low, so they are often stuck at a certain step and cannot break through, so that they can cremate those monks after they die and pass away, and produce a large number of relics. "
"But do they dare to publish the results they have researched? Do they dare to apply them on a large scale?"
"On the one hand, it framed its own people more viciously than our demonic way, and the relics burned are all the flesh and blood of our own disciples. Our demonic sect just burns the corpses, recycles them, reuses waste, and expands the recovery of resources, which is beneficial to the development of the universe. , which is conducive to ecological civilization. They directly burn their own people!"
"On the other hand, in terms of the use of technology, it is not old-fashioned, and the use of these technologies is hypocritically restricted, so it becomes more cruel in private, and more sanctimonious on the surface! Hypocrisy!"
The blood-slaughter demon lord eloquently criticized the hypocrisy and shamelessness of Buddhism for several hours. A group of bigwigs from the demon sect turned these thoughts into ghosts and passed them into the buddha's circle of mutual brainwashing. In the past years, they turned into ghosts, and they also echoed in the dark tide. Gradually, Buddhism brainwashed each other, and it was too busy to kill the ghosts.
Under the impact of the tide of darkness, the Buddha's halo finally showed a flaw.
An old monk jumped up violently, turned around and cursed: "The devil's talking nonsense..."
In an instant, his voice disappeared, and the two old monks sitting next to him suddenly felt that there was still a figure sitting in his place, but he was no longer chanting or talking, not even breathing.
There was still a shadow sitting in the place of the old monk who stood up, but there was no trace of vitality in his body.
In the Buddha's circle of light, there is an extra cold body.
A group of people chanted and chanted sutras. When they arrived here, it was like encountering a black hole. All the Buddha's light and Sanskrit sound disappeared. There was a black hole that didn't speak or breathe, swallowing all the light and Buddha nature.
An old monk sitting next to 'him' chanting scriptures couldn't help but turn his head quietly and cast a quick glance.
He saw a corpse demon. Jin's body was covered with corpse spots, which seemed to be a strange corpse that had begun to rot. Blood and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, but there was a compassionate smile on his face.
This is not the grumpy old monk, this is a 'Buddha! '
The old monk suddenly figured out something, he screamed in horror, let out a miserable howl that was not human at all, and then stopped abruptly, as if someone had strangled his throat in the middle of the scream, his scream made More people looked over there, and then there were miserable wailings one after another in the surrounding Buddha light.
The long howls from the mouths of inexplicable creatures continued, and Fajing panicked in his heart. He knew that the plots of the demon kings of the Demon Dao had been calculated. They finally brought some kind of strangeness in the darkness to them, and even those lawless people , even the ghosts dare to merge into one, and the demon king who has changed his state seems to be afraid of this ghost thing.
After it came in, Mo Dao and his party stopped making any noise!
Afraid of calling that weird existence back among them...
"Junior Brothers, chant with me! Don't be distracted by others!" Master Fajing roared, and a group of Buddhist monks continued to chant the scriptures loudly under his leadership, regardless of everything around them, and once again radiated the bright Buddha light It seemed that the weird existence was suppressed, and the howling gradually became lower and lower.
But it still keeps happening...
Fajing suddenly lost the aura of a junior beside him, a wordless terror enveloped them, and the unknown old monk beside Fajing had no choice but to say: "Senior brother, this is not going to work! Junior brothers are not afraid. Life and death, as far as we are concerned, life and death are already the same, I have cultivated a Zen mind for tens of thousands of years, can't I still be able to break this body?"
"What you fear, the juniors, is the unknown in the darkness, and the shaking of the Dharma."
"So if we want to break this situation, we must see through that weird existence and overcome that great terror... Brother, please allow me to look back. I have the confidence to read the name of this place and expose its heel, so that you will never be able to see it again." fear!"
Fajing recalled the appearance of the nameless old monk, but he was just a thin, ordinary old monk. There was nothing outstanding along the way. Unexpectedly, when this inexplicable horror was approaching, it was him who could overcome the fear from nothing. bright. Breaking through the principles of Zen to subdue fear and external demons...
Master Fajing clasped his palms together, sighed and said, "Facing the weirdness in the darkness, I actually lost my position. I can't see clearly as my younger brother. Please trouble my younger brother! Goodness, goodness..."
Fajing said disappointedly: "The body is like a bodhi tree, and the heart is like a mirror stand. Wipe it diligently at all times, so as not to stir up dust. The wisdom of the Sixth Patriarch is so high and far, how can I reach it? If you don't have superior wisdom, you are as stupid as you are! It is better to wipe the Zen mind from time to time. Senior brother... Thank you for the enlightenment!"
The nameless old monk turned his head to look, but saw a dozen or so strange figures sitting in the circle of Buddha's light.
Beside him, I saw a white elephant with six tusks squatting aside. It was mottled all over. On the skin that was originally as smooth as white jade, rotten parts had been exposed. Some rotten wounds could be seen like gold, divine. skeleton. On the back of the white elephant, there is a figure sitting upright, with a lotus flower on his left arm. Sitting on the back of the white elephant, Tuyu stretched out his right hand and stretched out towards the ground...
Although the six-tusk white elephant is contaminated by death energy, the body of this bodhisattva is still pure and unimpeded.
Only one pair of eyes... hides infinite demonic nature, great terror, great power, great solemnity, great slaughter, great destruction, catastrophe, like an endless void, like a bottomless ruins, what can the unknown old monk still do? Seeing the boundless sea of blood from his eyes, these eyes can see the universe, the past and the future, but he can't see himself.
"The god of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva is dead!"
The unknown old man suddenly understood everything. He looked back and saw that sitting in the circle of Buddha's light was a sacred figure with a green lion hunchback; The King Kong who can cut off all troubles...
The nameless old monk suddenly realized everything... This is the land of confinement. Back then, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were infected by the evil thoughts of the Styx, and had to cut themselves off. The ghosts left here in a clean body, so there will be Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who is still alive here, and there will be corpses of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas here.
These are all the bodies they cut off!
But the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas can return to purity, but the dummy they left behind will never be destroyed. It can be said that the dummy bodies of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas left here are all transformed Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, which are not essentially different from the deity. A part of them, all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, can only use the great power of the World Honored One to seal the body so as not to be contaminated.
Therefore, the body here has died one after another. Although it is immortal, it has been forgotten.
But 聻 is thoughts, when the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas died, how could there not be any negative thoughts that turned into 聻 ghosts and radiated out? These thoughts of the Buddhas are hidden in the darkness, but they are transformed by countless powerful negative emotions, fear, disgust, anger and destruction before death, and represent the messages and final evil thoughts of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
These thoughts, hidden in Styx's thoughts, echoed here secretly, forming an inexplicable strange statue.
It is the nemesis of all Buddhist monks, representing the death of all Buddhas, and the ghosts of all Buddhas' evil thoughts... D is just thoughts and information, and it is not a monster in essence... But evil thoughts and some extremely weird, tit-for-tat messages are formed. The ghost is more terrifying than any weird and terrifying existence.
Everyone can become a devil... let alone a ghost that gathers all the evil and evil thoughts in the hearts of all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas
Ghosts are purer than humans!
The nameless old monk was dragged into the darkness by the inexplicable weirdness. He didn't resist, and he couldn't resist. Even if he was sitting on the lotus platform or Da Luo, he would be powerless to fight back against this terrifying monster that specially restrained him. , he left a last sentence calmly: "This thing is the transformation of the evil thoughts of the Buddhas. The way to escape from here is in the World Honored One..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he was dragged into the darkness.
Something suddenly flashed through Master Fajing's mind. He held three thousand wisdom beads, counted them one by one, sorted out some hidden and subtle clues along the way, and then used the wisdom of prajna to string them together to form a complete chain. Clues, the secret bits and pieces of what he saw and heard here in the ancient times, and the confusing clues gradually gathered together, recreating the truth that happened in Zhishuqi Lonely Garden back then.
