Qin Mu, Ma Ye and others speeded up, but Ma Ye needed to calm down Granny Si's mind, and felt more and more difficult, so he slowed down gradually.
Leader Li is growing rapidly, Granny Si's cultivation is getting stronger and stronger, and Master Ma dare not go all out for fear of hurting Granny Si's soul, which will bring many unstable variables to this trip.
Granny Si woke up less and less, and Master Li woke up more and more. Qin Mu was also anxious, but he was helpless.
This basin was originally an ocean, and it should be the East China Sea mentioned by the statue of the Heavenly King.
The original East China Sea has become land, the sea water has disappeared, and there is no sea water. However, Qin Mu felt that it was a little weird. He heard from the villagers here that the sea floated in the sky at night and filled with sea water, but it disappeared during the day.
So where did the sea go
The deeper you go, the more weird and powerful the creatures here are. There are also glowing jellyfish flying around in the sky. When night falls, the jellyfish will hide in the temple, like colorful lanterns.
They also met living dragons, some living in deep streams, some living in volcanoes, and drawing land as kings.
As long as you don't provoke them, these dragons will seldom come out. Occasionally, Qin Mu saw the dragons flying out of their lairs to catch people in the village and eat them. When they saw them on the road, those dragons saw that they were very powerful and did not dare to act presumptuously. Fly by from the side.
Walking out of this basin, it is only two days away from Mount Sumeru.
In the past few days, Qin Mu and the others didn't even dare to relax while sleeping, and they were always ready to wake up to suppress the Sect Leader.
Qin Mu and the others simply jumped on Long Qilin's back, and let this huge beast carry them towards Mount Sumeru.
Gradually, the number of Buddhist believers in the villages along the way increased, and every household worshiped Buddha statues, and some even put the Buddha statues together with the stone statues in the village, offering both gods and Buddhas.
After Qin Mu inquired, he learned that some monks came to preach scriptures and heal the villagers, so they were very popular.
"Buddhism is also interesting to Daxu."
The blind man laughed and said, "Da Leiyin Temple's treatment of abandoned people in the Great Ruins implies that all living beings are equal, but it's just a trick, and it's suspected of using the name of the stone statue to accumulate virtue."
The closer you get to Daleiyin Temple, the more Buddhist temples there are. Some temples are very prosperous and enshrine Buddha statues of different shapes, but at night, the people and strange beasts of Daxu will not hide in these temples. Hide where there are stone statues and idols.
Qin Mu thought: "The Tathagata has good intentions, but it is still difficult to compete with the gods in the Great Ruins. It can only cure diseases, not save lives."
The nearby mountain peaks gradually increased, and there were many large and small monasteries. Qin Mu and the others passed by several monasteries. It was getting late, and they planned to spend the night in a monastery.
In the monastery, there are hundreds of monks, and they are not afraid at night, and they still chant Buddhist scriptures.
"Could it be that these monks have great supernatural powers and can withstand the darkness of the Great Ruins?" Qin Mu was surprised.
Unexpectedly, many Buddha statues radiated a faint divine light in the dark night, blocking the darkness outside. Qin Mu leaned in front of a Buddha statue to look at it, and his face turned dark involuntarily.
The monks in this temple even painted a layer of clay on the outside of the Daxu stone statue, then fired it into a Buddha statue, pasted gold leaf on the outside, and dressed it up as a golden Buddha. At night, the stone statue shelters one side, and it looks like the Buddha statue is showing its power to protect all living beings.
Qin Mu looked with the eyes of the sky, and what he saw was the gods who protected the Great Ruins emitting a divine light, not the Buddha light of the Buddha statues.
There are also some ferocious and unusual beasts in the temple, and they never leave the temple during the day. It seems common for the monks in the temple to leave these beasts unchained and let them wander around the temple.
Surprisingly, these man-eating beasts are very docile in the temple, and they also look like eating fast and reciting Buddha, changing their ferocious nature. Some residents of Daxu who stayed here said that this is the power of Buddhism.
However, Qin Mu saw the monks secretly feeding these strange beasts large chunks of flesh, and there was a smell of anesthetic in the flesh.
Qin Mu was taken aback and frowned.
"Mu'er, don't worry too much."
The blind man whispered: "Da Leiyin Temple is very close, smashing the temple here will only let Da Leiyin Temple get the news, give us small shoes to wear, it may not save Granny Si."
"hypocritical!"
Granny Si sneered and said: "This is the hypocrisy of Buddhism. You obviously don't have great supernatural powers, but you use other people's supernatural powers to yourself, boasting that it is the power of Buddhism. Blind man, Ma Ye, you are also hypocritical. If you want to ask the old Tathagata, you dare not Debunk the tricks of these bald donkeys!"
Qin Mu said: "Do you have great supernatural powers? When you meet the old Tathagata at Daleiyin Temple, doesn't Master Li know?"
Granny Si chuckled and said, "Master Qin, you are also worthy to be the leader of my holy sect? You are the leader of my heavenly sect, but you are insulting the reputation of my heavenly sect by asking the old Tathagata of a rival sect to do something! The majesty of the Holy Cult has been ruined by you! After I have fully recovered, I will return to the Holy Cult, reorganize the Holy Cult, and let you see what the Holy Cult Master should do!"
Qin Mu remained calm and said, "What should the Holy Master do?"
"Tear off the hypocritical masks of these old bald donkeys, smash these Buddha statues, and reveal the god statues inside!"
Granny Si said leisurely: "Then remove the anesthetic from these strange beasts, let them eat people, reveal their true nature, wash the bald donkeys here with blood, and eat up all the bald thieves in the temple! Let these foolish people see, what nonsense! Dharma is useless at all, it’s just superficial! Hey, the so-called righteous way is nothing more than shit, so let the shit show its true colors, and don’t put a layer of gold on the outside of the mud tire! This is the teaching of my Tiansheng religion , purely let the true and correct solution of nature!"
Qin Mu felt that what he said made sense, but his approach was a bit extreme. He originally wanted to undo the anesthetic in the body of these strange beasts, but thought that the strange beasts would eat people when they woke up, so he had to give up.
Finally, the Daleiyin Temple was in sight, and from a distance, one could see a majestic mountain standing in the middle of the Shenduan Mountain Range. The other mountain ranges were cut by infinite power, forming cliffs, difficult for flying birds, and snow-capped mountains, but this mountain remained the same. It is vast and vast, with many mountains and guards surrounding the main peak.
Strange to say, the mountain peaks here form a layer of stairs, with 3,000 mountain tops at the bottom, forming a great circle. There are 999 mountain tops at the second level, and 99 mountain tops at the next level. On the top of the mountain, there are nine mountain tops on the next level, each layer is higher than the other, and they guard the main peak in the center.
There are many temples on the hills, big and small, enshrining huge and majestic Buddha statues. Some hills are simply carved into giant Buddhas, some temples are built on the palm of the Buddha, and some temples are built in the heart.
"It's luxurious."
The blind man praised: "Master Ma, why do your Buddhist temples always like to wear gold and silver? It is so resplendent and luxurious, wouldn't it be good if it was used for disaster relief? The monks have nothing but their hands."
Master Ma said indifferently: "Not imposing, whoever comes to pray to the Buddha will make offerings?"
Granny Si sneered: "Hypocrisy..."
Qin Mu shouted: "Shut up! The old Tathagata will refine you to death later!"
"You brat, you dare to scold me!" Granny Si was furious.
Qin Mu was at a loss as to what to do, and said in a low voice, "So it's the mother-in-law. Don't worry about the mother-in-law, I thought it was the leader Li who ran out again."
Granny Si sneered and said: "These bald thieves are obviously hypocrisy, Mr. Ma, I'm not talking about you. Go around and see where the temples are not magnificent and luxurious, and which places are not luxurious? Which Buddha statues are not wearing gold and silver, and are made of gold?" Body? Among all the temples, only the temples of these bald donkeys are the most luxurious! These monks don’t do production, don’t pay taxes, gossip about their interests, raise monks and soldiers, rebel, and want to control the general situation of the world .”
"Shut up, monster!"
Suddenly there was an angry shout in mid-air, Qin Mu looked up, and saw a monk in mid-air with Buddha's light on his body, very solemn, obviously he heard Granny Si's words while passing by, and angrily scolded him.
When the monk saw Master Ma, he was taken aback, and ran away quickly, shouting loudly: "The big thing is bad, the big thing is bad! God Mawang is coming up the mountain again!"
In the temples on the mountain peaks, the monks were in an uproar, bustling and flying up, standing in mid-air and forming formations, as if they were facing a big enemy.
Master Ma said vaguely: "When I came to retrieve my arm last time, there was a little commotion. Let's go up the mountain."
Fire clouds sprouted from the soles of Long Qilin's feet, and he ran towards the main peak in the center.
The main peak hangs high above the sea of clouds, and is illuminated by the sun on the sea of clouds, shining golden light, so it is called the Golden Summit. Even a dragon unicorn needs some time to fly up there. There are thousands of temples and temples on the way, and there are many eminent monks who have achieved success in cultivation and great powers, but they dare not step forward to stop them, but they are not willing to let them go directly. Climb to the golden summit of Mount Sumeru.
More and more monks flew out one after another, riding various strange beasts, forming formations around the golden dome, layer by layer, densely packed, ready to cast down demons.
Qin Mu couldn't help admiring Master Ma: "The last time Master Ma came over, I'm afraid he went straight to the main peak."
Master Ma told Long Qilin to stop, only to see tens of thousands of monks in front of him forming an iron wall, guarding the golden dome, and said: "I have come to see the Tathagata, and I will ask for something."
His voice shook, and suddenly the mountains were full of visions, golden springs gushed from the ground, lotus flowers fell from the sky, phantoms of eight dragons and gods appeared in the sky, phantoms of gods and gods from the twenty layers came to the sky, visions appeared again and again, and the splendor radiated everywhere , and recite the Buddha's name together.
This mantra has shocked countless monks.
At this moment, I suddenly heard an old voice laughing on the Golden Summit: "Mawangshen's cultivation level is better than that of the past, the twentieth heaven of the Tathagata Mahayana Sutra, you think you have already cultivated to the Brahma realm, and if you go further, you will be the Tathagata." All the monks step down and let him come up. I have been waiting for him for a long time."
"Twenty heavens?" Qin Mu was slightly taken aback, looking at Master Ma.
The iron wall formed by the monks in front of him dissipated, and Master Ma let Long Qilin walk up the mountain, saying: "This is the twenty kinds of celestial realms in the Tathagata Mahayana Sutra. If you have practiced the twenty heavenly realms, you will be the Tathagata. When I left the Mahayana At the time of Leiyin Temple, he had reached the nineteenth level of Heavenly Emperor Shitian Realm, and he was already the number one powerhouse in the world."
