Hearing Zhao Jiuge ask this question, the sweeping monk's face immediately became a little strange, and then there was a smile on his dry skin. He did not make any answer, but suddenly stretched out his palm.
I saw a white spiritual light suddenly emerge from the palm of the sweeping monk. The spiritual power fluctuations were filled with strong and dangerous fluctuations. It didn't seem to be anything special, but when it fell into Zhao Jiuge's dark eyes, it was... It was filled with shock, because Zhao Jiuge had seen this kind of aura from those holy monks when he was at Liulinpo before, but it had some familiar fluctuations.
Obviously, this sweeping monk is definitely someone who has successfully overcome the tribulation. This shocked Zhao Jiuge. After all, he had thought before that over the past thousands of years, there have been fewer and fewer people who have risen through the sky, and so have the people who have overcome the tribulation. Not much, but this time at Wuming Temple, he changed his mind. In Wuming Temple alone, he had already met four holy monks.
Although Zhao Jiuge was shocked in his heart, he also showed surprise on the surface, and then sighed, "The Wuming Temple is really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon. I originally thought that three holy monks would be powerful enough, but I didn't expect that there are more than three now."
Unexpectedly, the sweeping monk shook his head, and then said softly, "I am not from Wuming Temple. I just stayed in Wuming Temple for who knows how many years."
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Jiuge looked stunned and a little confused. He didn't know what the mystery of this mysterious sweeping monk was, but suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.
Thinking of his own experience, and thinking of what he had not mentioned before, that there were three figures before him in the Demon-Subduing Well, who had also been suppressed in the Demon-Subduing Well, Zhao Jiuge seemed to have guessed something at once.
"Senior, like me, once stayed in the Demon-Conquering Well, so you never left after coming out?" Zhao Jiuge asked tentatively. After all, except for himself, one of the three people who had stayed in the Demon-Conquering Well before was a big demon. One of them is a crazy monk, and the other is an old Taoist priest who challenged the Wuming Temple. I don’t know if the sweeping monk at the moment is one of them.
Seeing Zhao Jiuge's guess, the smile on the sweeping monk's face became even richer. He nodded slowly, and then said, "Smart, I was considered to have done many evil things back then. Later, Wuming Temple took action and forcibly suppressed me. I have been in this Demon-Conquering Well for a hundred years, but even though I later realized many truths and asked me to leave, I did not leave and stayed in this Nameless Temple for so many years."
Seeing that Zhao Jiuge still had some doubts on his face, the sweeping monk told some things about that time. It turned out that he belonged to the previous era. Now the sweeping monk was doing evil, which attracted the suppression of Wuming Temple, and he received the same treatment as Zhao Jiuge. Like this, but later the sweeping monk's mind also changed. He was asked to leave but he chose to practice in the Wuming Temple. This practice lasted for so many years, and now the entire Buddhist scriptures in the Wuming Temple have been memorized by heart, and he can Integrate everything.
After that, he even directly practiced to transcend the tribulation, and reached the current level. Zhao Jiuge was dumbfounded after hearing this encounter, and at the same time, he was filled with envy. After all, this level of strength was Zhao Jiuge's goal.
Moreover, Zhao Jiuge suddenly remembered something. When Pei Susu happened, he was in agony. In the end, Pei Songtao told him a method, so this was also the motivation for him to practice hard for so long.
Now that the sweeping monk has reached this level, he will naturally understand the scenery and situation at this level. Zhao Jiuge is looking forward to the scenery after the tribulation. After all, the immortal spiritual power is related to Pei Susu, and the current sweeping monk Although the monk's own spiritual power has not been completely transformed into fairy spiritual power, he at least has this ability.
"Senior, how long does it take for you to successfully overcome the tribulation and transform your spiritual power into immortal spiritual power, and to what extent."
After the sweeping monk pondered for a while, he slowly said, "I have spent hundreds of years of hard work, but the spiritual power of my own spiritual sea has not been transformed to half."
Hearing this, Zhao Jiuge was a little silent. First of all, not to mention how difficult it was to overcome the tribulation. In such a long time, he could only transform less than one-third of Linghai's spiritual power. If it really reaches the last step, I'm afraid it won't be possible. Know how much time it takes.
But soon, Zhao Jiuge cheered up. After all, as long as there was hope, he would work hard towards that goal even in difficulties. It was better than having no direction.
At the moment, the sweeping monk seemed to be more pleasing to Zhao Jiuge, and the nature of his words came back, so he kept talking. Before Zhao Jiuge could ask anything more, he continued, "But now the speed is getting slower as we go to the back. I doubt it." It’s still related to this world.”
Originally, the words of the sweeping monk made Zhao Jiuge a little silent. After all, he was not in a good mood. But after hearing these words, Zhao Jiuge immediately raised his head and looked at the sweeping monk waiting for the next chapter of Wuming Temple.
"I browsed some records. In the past, although not many monks in the thirteen states of China could ascend through the rosy clouds, every few hundred years, there would be monks who could successfully ascend through the rosy clouds. Moreover, from the time when they succeeded in overcoming the tribulation, to the time when their own souls were finally able to ascend. It did not take a long time for all the sea to be transformed into fairy spiritual power, but now the figure that has ascended through the clouds has been almost invisible for hundreds of years. In addition, even if the tribulation is successful, the change of the spiritual sea in the body is extremely slow, so I've been suspecting something."
"What are you doubting?" Zhao Jiuge was attracted by the sweeping monk's secrets and asked subconsciously in an instant.
The sweeping monk did not show off, and said directly, "I suspect that the spiritual energy in this world is limited, and it becomes thinner toward the back, so I'm afraid there will be fewer and fewer people ascending in the future, and in the end, the spiritual energy will be transformed into immortal spiritual power in the spiritual sea. Time is getting slower and slower.”
Zhao Jiuge's face was solemn. After all, normally, this kind of secret was not accessible to him. Even those in the Mahayana realm of Xiaoyao Valley were definitely not familiar with the scene after the tribulation.
For a time, Zhao Jiuge had many thoughts in his heart. Soon, he regained his composure. At least he heard good news today, that is, at least someone can do this. Even if the time is slower and the process is more difficult, at least someone can do it. If he can do it, then he can do it too.
Seeing Zhao Jiuge there alone, his face changing and uncertain, as if he had something on his mind, the sweeping monk just smiled and said nothing, and just looked at Zhao Jiuge like that. After all, no one had any secrets, and he also That age of curiosity has passed.
"I see that you are only at the early stage of the Mahayana realm. There is still a long way to go in the future. Moreover, at such a young age, your future achievements will surpass those of us old guys. Maybe you can open up a new path by then. , after all, there is no way to practice, but the many temptations in the former will make it much easier for those of us who come after us, and the further we go to the later roads, the fewer people will walk on them, so we must rely on ourselves."
Seeing Zhao Jiuge frowning slightly, as if he was immersed in something, the sweeping monk on the side finally spoke a few words of persuasion, which made Zhao Jiuge smile, and in a few words he pointed directly at Zhao Jiuge's true heart.
"Senior, I have benefited a lot from today's conversation. I will go to the Sutra Pavilion to practice first." Immediately, Zhao Jiuge respectfully performed a junior salute and prepared to say goodbye and enter the Sutra Pavilion.
The sweeping monk nodded, took the big broom, and once again prepared to continue the actions he repeated every day. At the same time, he did not forget to say, "Go, this Sutra Pavilion is definitely a good place for your practice." It’s good, and it can also improve your own cultivation. Otherwise, why would those guys still be able to improve by leaps and bounds if they meditate and recite scriptures all day long.”
After saying this, the sound of the sweeping monk sweeping the floor resounded. After Zhao Jiuge took a deep look at the back of the sweeping monk, he hurriedly entered the Scripture Collection Pavilion. From today on, he will suffer in this Scripture Collection Pavilion. To cultivate, don’t come out until a certain time. As for other trivial matters in the outside world, leave them behind for the time being.
He wanted to learn from the monks of the Wuming Temple and put these trivial matters behind his mind for the time being, forgetting the right and wrong of fame and fortune, and with Lianxing in charge, Zhao Jiuge didn't need to worry about things in Xiaoyao Valley.
Being in the Sutra Pavilion again, Zhao Jiuge's state of mind was completely different from last time. If Zhao Jiuge was still in a good mood last time, this time, he was completely at peace and would not just browse. Browse through the collection of scriptures in the Sutra Pavilion.
After getting rid of all distracting thoughts, Zhao Jiuge entered the state of selflessness and began to read the collections in the bookshelf. In fact, Zhao Jiuge was not very interested in the magic arts of Wuming Temple. He just listened to Sanwu's words and could grow Strength, so Zhao Jiuge can sit here with peace of mind.
After all, Sanwu once said that he had been in this Sutra Collection Pavilion since he was a child. He had spent decades of effort browsing through the entire collection of Sutra Collection Pavilion, and his own cultivation was also based on this Sutra Collection Pavilion Ge, made a great contribution.
Sanwu was naturally aware of Zhao Jiuge's movements. Seeing Zhao Jiuge staying in the Sutra Pavilion with no intention of coming out, Sanwu did not bother Zhao Jiuge, but left it to Zhao Jiuge to make arrangements.
At first, Zhao Jiuge browsed the collection of scriptures and found nothing surprising. However, as he slowly immersed himself in them, he suddenly had many different insights. And in the end, he would slowly discover that there were many things in the collection of scriptures. The words seem to come alive one by one.
What impressed Zhao Jiuge's mind was that the words on the scriptures seemed to come to life one by one, turning into words with a golden halo, and constantly appeared in his mind.
Zhao Jiuge was a little surprised, but more importantly, he carefully understood the mystery of each word and kept some of the insights in mind. It felt like a house full of dust that had been washed and became Spotless, unstained by dust.
The Buddhist Scripture Pavilion of Wuming Temple is very famous, and most people have no chance to enter it. But similarly, if anyone has the opportunity to come to Wuming Temple, then Wuming Temple has never hidden it. Basically, all places are open to the outside world. Openness, as for how much you can learn, then even if you are capable, after all, you do not have a certain understanding, even if you are in a powerful method, you will not be able to learn even the slightest bit.
