[It’s the Mid-Autumn Festival. I wish you all a happy holiday and a happy Reunion Festival with your family. By the way, I’m silently asking for support by subscribing and monthly tickets!]
Keeping the heart in the dark, ruins of ancient temples, Bodhi trees, ancient Buddhas with green lanterns, a little light is like a bean.
It is plain, clear and quiet, and can withstand the temper and test of time. What is left is the "truth", and the extravagant things are just passing clouds.
A lamp, a Buddha, a temple, and a tree seem to be the same as ever, existing in this world forever.
Jiang Chen slowly stepped forward, arrived in front of the Daleiyin Temple, and stopped next to the Bodhi tree.
According to ancient legend, the bodhi tree is a sacred tree in Buddhism, also known as the tree of wisdom, the tree of enlightenment, and the tree of thinking. It is said that it can open up people's divinity and awaken their bodies. It is recorded in "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" that the Buddha once told Ananda that there are three objects in the world that should be worshiped: Buddha bone relics, Buddha statues and Bodhi trees.
Because the Buddha attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, seeing the Bodhi tree is like seeing the Buddha.
The dry old tree in front of me is as vigorous as a horned dragon. Six or seven people can't hug it. The main trunk is hollow, with only one dead branch hanging down to two or three meters above the ground. There are six green leaves hanging on it, sparkling like green agate. Transparent.
Jiang Chen looked at this ancient bodhi tree and saw that its huge branches were almost completely pressed against the ancient temple. If it were covered with branches and leaves, you could imagine the scene of blocking out the sky and the sun.
At this moment, he discovered that six crystal green leaves were slightly invisible. A small part of them floated towards the five-color altar in the distance, while most of them disappeared into the roots of the tree.
Dots of green clouds, shaped like silk, are constantly overflowing from the six green leaves, making people feel a strong breath of life, as if there is endless vitality flowing.
Jiang Chen waved his hand to sweep away the soil below, and immediately discovered a bodhi seed. It had no light, no flowers, no clouds, and a dull gray color. If you weren't paying attention, you might mistake it for a clod of soil. The only special thing is its size. An ordinary Bodhi seed is no more than the size of a fingernail, but this gray Bodhi seed is as big as a walnut.
"It turns out that it has absorbed the spiritual energy of Bodhi." Jiang Chen stretched out his hand and held the Bodhi seed in his palm. He saw that the natural patterns on this dark and ordinary Bodhi seed were connected together. It turned out to be a compassionate Buddha. appearance!
The gray Buddhist pictures are simple and natural, with a faint Zen charm coming out.
"Good stuff!" Jiang Chen turned his hand and incorporated it into the inner world, planting it in the Five Elements Valley where the spiritual fetus of heaven and earth was nurtured in the past, hoping to harvest a sacred Bodhi tree in the future.
After the treasure hunt was completed, he immediately turned his attention to the underground of Da Leiyin Temple. There were eighteen layers of hell created by Buddhism, suppressing countless great demons. As the years passed, many demons had been eliminated. The bones turned into ashes, but there were still some people who were still alive, such as Crocodile Ancestor who was sealed in the first level of hell!
As the name suggests, it is a crocodile that has been cultivated into a spirit and dares to be called the ancestor of a party. Its strength is tyrannical and has reached the fourth level of the Sendai Secret Realm: the Saint Realm. Unfortunately, this guy is unlucky. He met Sakyamuni and fought again. Unable to fight, unable to escape, and finally helplessly reduced to a prisoner.
The figure turned into a blur, and the Buddhist teachings he had learned from observing the Great Leiyin Temple allowed Jiang Chen to easily pass through the seal and enter the hell space below.
This is an extremely vast space. Although it is pitch black, everything is invisible under the eyes of the sky. The walls are carved with golden arhats, as well as Bodhisattvas and ancient Buddhas in the heavens, glaring at them angrily, as if they are subduing demons. The divine power is majestic. This is the demon refining seal left by Sakyamuni. Accumulated over time and over hundreds of thousands of years, it is enough to refine a great demon king and possess mysterious and unpredictable supernatural powers.
In the four corners, there are thick stone pillars, supporting the Great Thunder Sound Temple above and suppressing this first level of hell. The stone pillars are carved with various demons and gods, and there are also blood grooves, soaked with dried black water. Blood, this is the demon transformation pile, used to refine the demon saint.
The demon saint was actually a huge crocodile with a height of several hundred feet. Each limb was bound by a thick iron rope. The iron rope spread and was connected to the four demon-transforming stakes. The powerful demon-refining power came from the surrounding stone walls. Derived from above, it gathered on the four demon-transforming piles, and finally acted on Crocodile Ancestor through the four iron cables, refining it bit by bit.
However, this guy is truly worthy of being a generation of demon saint. After being sealed and refined for two thousand years, it can be considered a big miracle that he can still survive.
Maybe it was suppressed for too long, maybe Jiang Chen came unexpectedly, Crocodile Ancestor was in a deep sleep and didn't wake up for a while, but soon, he noticed Jiang Chen's breath and woke up from his deep sleep.
"Who are you? Why do you appear here? Damn it, human beings. If you don't bow down quickly, maybe I will spare your life!" As a veteran prison bully, he saw something coming in his prison. With a strange face, he took it as a deep shout, and suddenly, the roaring sound surged, and the entire level of hell seemed to have set off boundless stormy waves.
"Fuck you, what a strong aura!" Jiang Chen was horrified for a moment, never expecting that the Demon Saint Crocodile Ancestor, who had been suppressed for two thousand years, still possessed such a powerful force!
But soon, a happy smile appeared on his face, because by comparing the crocodile ancestor in front of him, he knew his current cultivation level. In this world, although he could not compete with those ancient emperors, Compared with the enemy, he is not even as good as the Great Sage and the Holy King, but it is comparable to the realm of a saint who has attained enlightenment.
Before returning from the Zhuxian world, his strength had barely reached a level comparable to the second secret realm of Sendai in this world. After attaining the enlightenment of reincarnation, he could only reach a level comparable to the third secret realm of Sendai when he was promoted to a greater realm. However, after the rebirth of the spiritual fetus, he reopened the world inside his body and opened the heaven to realize the Tao, which greatly improved his cultivation level, which was comparable to the saints and powerful men in this world.
The saint level of the fourth secret realm of Sendai may not be invincible in this world, but he is definitely not a monster that others can easily destroy. Although it is not enough compared to the previous one, it is more than enough compared to the lower one. It can be said that as long as he does not do anything To die, you should not lose your life for no reason.
However, this is not the happiest thing for him. The happiest thing is that because the seal of the Great Thunder Sound Temple has not been destroyed, the power of demon refining here is still very powerful, so the words shouted by the crocodile ancestor Fang Luo was immediately greeted by a large wave of demon refining power, which made his whole body twitch and scream:
"Damn it, damn Tathagata, you stinky bald donkey. Sooner or later, I will come to you to recover this bloody debt. I will beat your muscles and peel off your skin..."
Jiang Chen looked at it with a smile on his face, and it lasted for a long time, until the demonic refining power gradually dissipated, and then he smiled teasingly at the bloody Ancestor Crocodile: "Stop screaming, I think you just know this person." He has already left, if Tathagata is really here, do you still dare to make such a noise?"
"Do you think I don't dare?" Crocodile Ancestor stared at Jiang Chen fiercely with his big blood-red eyes: "Damn human, who are you? Why do you appear here?"
"Who am I? I think you will regret knowing this answer, because," Jiang Chen smiled strangely on his face. Then, he raised his hand and took out a gray ruler out of thin air, pointing at Crocodile Ancestor. Head, he shouted loudly: "I am a robber, Mr. Crocodile Ancestor. Unfortunately, you have been robbed. Hurry up, you idiot, give me all the cultivation methods, magical powers and secret techniques you know." I'll hand it over, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?" Crocodile Ancestor was startled for a moment, and then he roared angrily: "Could it be that you think that with just a little guy like you, you can do anything to me? If you want to practice Dharma and recognize faces, just surrender. I, please help me unlock the seal, and maybe I will reward you with a few more."
"Bah! You are someone's prisoner yourself, but you still have the nerve to ask me to surrender to you?" Jiang Chen cursed angrily, then raised his hand and struck out with one foot.
This is not an ordinary ruler, but an ancient heaven and earth rare treasure that Jiang Chen obtained from the world of Liaozhai. It once served as the pillar of heaven in Jiang Chen's inner world, until Jiang Chen used it to break the chaos and restore the world. Not only Its true power has been stimulated, and it has been refined by Kaitian. Even if it is not as good as the Ji Dao Imperial Soldier in this world, it is still a rare and supreme treasure, and its power is extraordinary.
"Snapped!"
There was a crisp sound, and Crocodile Ancestor received a heavy blow on the head. He felt that his head was about to explode, and the pain was so painful that he almost shed tears.
"Boy, are you cheating?!" Crocodile Ancestor yelled angrily: "If you have the ability, release me and let's fight one on one?"
"I'm just cheating, come and beat me if you can!" Jiang Chen laughed evilly, raised his hand and struck out with a measuring ruler again, hitting Crocodile Ancestor on the head firmly.
I have to say, it feels great to have a saint-level monster tied up there and still being beaten by you without being able to fight back. Jiang Chen beat him smoothly, one after another, and he just couldn't stop.
Crocodile Ancestor was still very stubborn at the beginning, but soon he couldn't bear it anymore. After all, the seal set by Tathagata and the power of demon refining were powerful, but they only weakened him little by little, so he could naturally withstand it. . But Jiang Chen was different. Although his cultivation level was unknown, the measuring ruler was really powerful. It would be fine if he got hit once or twice, but if it happened too many times, he wouldn't be able to hold on anymore.
"Stop fighting, stop fighting, I surrender, I surrender..." The great demon saint, Crocodile Ancestor, had never been beaten by such a scoundrel before, but in the end he still succumbed. Under Jiang Chen's lustful power.
Dignity is precious, but life is even more valuable.
In recent years, Tathagata's seal has gradually weakened, and Crocodile Ancestor has even seen hope of escaping, so he does not want to lose his life at this time.
"Surrender?" Jiang Chen took back the measuring ruler with some hesitation, feeling as if he hadn't had enough of the fight yet. However, seeing that Crocodile Ancestor had been beaten to almost half a disability by him, it seemed that he couldn't continue to strike hard. After all, he There is still business to do: "Since you have surrendered, what are you waiting for? Hurry up, you idiot, hand over all your rings, watches, and underwear to me!"
