This Is Exactly How Cultivation Works

Chapter 916: Great Dark Heaven, the leader of the thirty-six Heart Lords in the Heavenly Demon Palace

Views:

Since Lu Bei didn't see the little monk in Xuantian Temple, he thought that he had made great progress in Buddhism and had seen through the world. He teamed up with the abbot, Master Zhengqing, to go to the brothel to enjoy the silky smoothness and taste all the ups and downs of life.

Unexpectedly, he arrived at Dashan Temple ahead of him.

The fat white monk led the way, and Lu Bei followed closely behind.

Speaking of the Dashan Temple, it was the top Buddhist temple in the Wu Zhou Dynasty and also the leader in Buddhism in the world. However, it was so shabby that it didn't even have a decent main hall.

A low house about 20 to 30 meters long and wide, with a faceless Buddha statue sitting cross-legged in the mudra of touching the ground to subdue demons, two cushions and a green lamp. This is the main hall of Dashan Temple, which is ranked first and foremost for subduing demons.

Indiana is poor, but you are the top Buddhist practitioners. Wouldn't it be nice to develop it into a tourist attraction and make some extra money to replace the Buddha statues with golden decorations

At worst, ask the Zhu family to give them money. Do they still dare to show off

Dashan Temple is the most shabby first-class immortal cultivation mountain gate that Lu Bei has ever seen. It is only slightly better than the former Yuhua Gate. When Lu Bei thought about it carefully, he realized that when he was looking down from a high place just now, he really didn't see any decent pagoda. The entire Fengmo Valley is full of short houses.

“This is Gao Donkey!”

Lu Bei admired him sincerely. This was the first time in his two lifetimes that he respected a monk so much.

There is no doubt that the abbot of Dashan Temple would not perform the consecration ceremony.

"Master Lu, these are Buddhist beads that were consecrated by the abbot himself. They cost ten taels of silver each. Take a look and do you want to buy a few to play with?" The fat white monk said happily, holding the wooden box in his arms.

Lu Bei: (=_=#)

Well, it’s okay, at least the light is very serious.

He felt around his body and took out a thick stack of silver bills. Under the astonished gaze of the fat monk, he only took out a ten-liang silver bill and put it in the wooden box.

Ten taels of silver and two strings of Buddhist beads, not a loss.

"Master Lu, why don't you buy some more?"

"No, the remaining money is dirty."

"Good!"

"I'm sorry, but what's your name, Master?"

"I am a stupid monk who can't even debate. I usually serve tea and water to pilgrims and do errands in the temple. I am not a master at all."

"Humility, the master's fist is clearly full of truth."

Lu Bei shook his head in disbelief. Before coming here, he had asked the Taifu about it. The current abbot of Dashan Temple is named Dianchi, who has a very high seniority among Buddhist practitioners. Even the chief ministers of Xuantian Temple have to call him Master when they see him. Dianchen is of the same generation as Abbot Dianchi and has the cultivation level of the Mahayana stage. How could he be just a little novice monk who runs errands

You can tell from his face that he was born fat and fair in the impoverished Dashan Temple, so he must have a high status.

Dian Chen sold two strings of Buddhist beads, and his smile became even wider. Ten taels of silver notes were not a lot, but it depended on who was buying it.

The ten taels of silver in the Immortal Sword Master's pocket are more valuable than the rare treasures sent by the royal family. If he sells them, he can easily exchange them for a mountain of gold and silver.

It is impossible to sell it. Such clean money is hard-earned. I should save it and buy some bricks and tiles to renovate the main hall.

The two of them walked forward again. When they passed through the Forest of Ten Thousand Stele Tablets, Lu Bei used his divine sense to investigate and found that tens of thousands of Demon-Suppressing Stele Tablets had taken root in the ground, as if they were growing out of the ground.

He thought it was strange and guessed it was related to the demon from outer space, so he asked bluntly whether the demon was being suppressed underneath.

Dian Chen smiled and shook his head. The matter was of great importance and how could a small errand boy like him dare to make false statements? If Lu Bei was curious, he could ask the abbot in person.

Passing through the forest of thousands of steles, Dian Chen pushed open the wooden door of a thatched cottage, and a noisy and chaotic sound came rushing in.

Lu Bei had sharp eyes and saw a few crooked small characters on the wooden sign hanging next to the thatched cottage door - Benzaiten.

The thatched cottage was like a mustard seed containing Mount Sumeru, and the interior was a world of its own. Lu Bei looked inside and saw that a friendly exchange meeting was being held in the huge square, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Zheng Qing and Gu Zongchen, the master and disciple from Xiong Chu, had a heated argument with the monks from Dashan Temple.

This is what Buddhist practice is like.

When it comes to fists, Gu Zongchen can kill everyone in seconds. When it comes to Buddhism, Gu Zongchen is no pushover either. He is a born Buddhist and was born to be a monk.

But when it comes to debating, the young monk is clearly a bit stubborn and lacks experience in sophistry, so Zheng Qing often has to step in to settle the matter in order to stabilize the situation.

On the Dashan Temple side, the three bald donkeys in the lead are all good at speaking. Their strength in the fusion stage is really average, but they win in being well-read in scriptures. No matter what they say, they can make out a lot of truths and riddles.

No, this is called Zen.

Lu Bei stood aside and watched the fun. He listened with great interest at first, but became bored after a cup of tea. He asked in which room the Crazy Arhat Hall, Wooden Man Lane, and Eighteen Bronze Men Formation were.

I've watched the show and bought the souvenirs, now it's time to gain some experience.

Dian Chen was completely confused. There was no Arhat Hall, Wooden Man Alley, or Eighteen Bronze Men in Dashan Temple. He also said that practicing Buddhism was for strengthening the body, not for fighting with others.

In short, the monks of Dashan Temple don’t fight.

Lu Bei rolled his eyes and said, "Master Dian Chen, I respect you as a virtuous bald donkey. I don't want to be tough with you. I'll just tell you the truth. I'm here to challenge you today. Wan... There is only one number one in Wu Zhou, and that is the Tianjian Sect led by this Sect Master."

Lu Bei is talking nonsense, to sum it up, first kill Dashan, then destroy Yunzhong, only I have Tianjian, and Wu Zhou will be the king.

Among the four first-rate immortal cultivation forces in Wuzhou, the Iron Sword Alliance was broken up and then established to become the current Tianjian Sect. The Huangji Sect has been defeated. Today, Sect Master Lu arrived at Dashan Temple with a sword in hand, willing to compete with the masters' Buddhist teachings with his long fist.

"Master Lu, harmony is the most important thing in everything."

"Don't try to be so rude. You're not a businessman."

Lu Bei raised his fist and said, "See? If I chop down with this sword, the forest of ten thousand steles will become a forest of a thousand steles. Everyone will be embarrassed."

"Sect Master Lu is truly a wonderful person, a rare wonderful person in the world."

"This sect master will take it as the master praising me. Hurry up, who will be the first to go up?"

"Master Lu, please come this way!"

If it is a blessing, it will not be a disaster. If it is a disaster, it cannot be avoided. Seeing that Lu Bei was about to make a scene, Dian Chen had no choice but to ask him to leave the venue, push open the thatched cottage next door, and arrange for a master who was good at speaking to debate with Lu Bei.

This thatched cottage is named Weituotian.

"Master Lu, Dashan Temple is a quiet place for vegetarianism and chanting of Buddha, and the masters there don't like fighting. If you don't mind, I will do it for you and let you learn the supreme swordsmanship of Tianjian Sect." Dian Chen clasped his hands together, still smiling happily.

Lu Bei nodded, his attention focused on his surroundings.

Like Bhagavan, Skanda is a world of its own with a large internal space, which seems to be an independent secret realm, but it is also closely related to Buddhist practices, such as the gods derived from the relics.

A pitch-black relic is definitely not a real thing.

The sky was red with blood and corpses were everywhere.

The dark red clouds were light and thin, a bloody wind swept across the ground, startled the crows and made them circle, and the bloody energy spread in the air.

The smell of blood was approaching reality. The headless or rotten corpses looked exactly like the real ones. Golden light flickered in Lu Bei's eyes. Behind the illusory scene, he saw layers of entangled and lingering eerie demonic aura.

Good man, the magic orthodoxy is really good.

Lu Bei suspected that he had come to the lair of the demon cultivators. The Dian Chen in front of him was an alien demon who had escaped from the seal. He was not talking nonsense. Dian Chen's body was covered with Buddha's light, but it could not hide the ink-black darkness inside his body. If it were any other cultivator, he would have been possessed by the devil eight hundred times already.

To stay sane and sober, he must have either practiced magic or...

Buddhism is really powerful.

The most likely possibility is that Dian Chen is possessed by a demon from outside the realm. Like the unlucky guys in the Xianfu Continent, there is no way to clear one's name.

"Amitabha-"

Dian Chen did not launch a sneak attack. He held a string of prayer beads in his hand and waited for Lu Bei to withdraw his gaze before he slowly attacked: "Sect Master Lu, I am a little immature in this Buddha Light Seal. Please teach me."

Five fingers were raised, waving like a palm-leaf fan, and large patches of golden light swooped into the abyss like a waterfall, sweeping in all directions at high speed.

The golden light was scorching hot, containing the flame of Buddhist Dharma. When the palm was radiated, the wind and clouds changed color, and the blood energy in the air was brushed away, suppressing the large amount of demonic energy that was ready to move.

“Not bad!”

Lu Bei did not dodge or evade, but stood there with one hand behind his back.

To Dian Chen's surprise, he pointed out a white lotus and easily dissipated the golden Buddha fire.

"My apologies. It turns out that Sect Master Lu is a man of wisdom and a heart of Buddha." Dian Chen put away his smile, put his hands together and bowed.

"It's ok, Master, please continue. This sect master's sword body has reached the highest level. You can use more strength. I can hold on."

Lu Bei nodded slightly and said shamelessly, "I don't think I have a Buddha's heart, but I do have wisdom. The female donors all said it was good after using it."

"Sect Master Lu is joking again."

Dian Chen laughed in disbelief, with Buddha's light dancing in his eyes. He displayed the Buddhist clairvoyance, wanting to see what level of cultivation the famous Tianjian Sect leader had.

Under the unity of nature and man, Lu Bei's realm was stuck in the fusion stage, but this was not the point. Dian Chen saw various colors on Lu Bei, with pink and peach red being particularly eye-catching.

No kidding, the leader of the Tianjian Sect used Huigen to get along well with the female donors.

Dian Chen's face was distorted, he couldn't bear it, hated him for not fighting, and reminded him: "Sect Master Lu, lust is like a steel knife that scrapes bones, it destroys your form and destroys your nature. Only by letting go in time can you achieve great peace."

The same thing again!

Lu Bei was so tired of hearing about abstaining from sex that he skillfully retorted, "You haven't even picked it up, so how can you put it down? You haven't even picked it up before, and you're afraid of women like you're afraid of tigers and wolves. What qualifications do you have to criticize this master?"

"After you picked it up, did you ever put it down?"

“If I let it go, there will be more heartbroken people in this world. What’s the difference between me and that beast?” Lu Bei said righteously.

"… "

If we have different ideals, we cannot work together.

Dian Chen understood Buddhism. He clapped his hands together and the Buddha's light flashed like a waterfall and tide, while he chanted the Buddha's name loudly.

"Amitabha-"

As the sound waves echoed, the blood-red sky suddenly changed, becoming as dark as ink, so dark that it was distorted. A huge demon-like phantom stood up behind Dian Chen.

The demon was pitch black all over, with horns on his head, fangs protruding outward, a blood-red vertical line in the middle of his face, and wide-open eyes. His powerful body and ferocious appearance made people feel uneasy just by looking at him.

Around him, the demonic energy lingered and could not be shaken off, like a billowing burning demonic flame. One after another, hideous and terrifying ghost shadows appeared and disappeared, staring at Lu Bei with resentful eyes.

“Good Dharma!”

Lu Bei shouted, raised his five fingers, and threw a punch in the air.

The force of the fist shook the air with a loud bang like thunder, exploding the evil energy and causing it to roll endlessly.

The strong wind blew in his face, extinguishing the devilish flames around the big demon and dispersing the ghost shadows, preventing them from taking shape.

There was no sword intent, no magical powers or spells, and no Taoist rhyme. It was just a punch thrown out purely with the flesh and blood.

For the first time, a hint of solemnity appeared in Dian Chen's eyes, and he even sensed a hint of crisis. He felt that he might not be able to defeat this talented young man.

Ridiculous, how long has he been famous

Dian Chen put his hands together, the big demon raised his strong arms, used his demon body to control the Dharma, and blasted out a magical power - the demon-subduing pestle.

The dark fist was wrapped in immortal Buddha light, and a magical weapon, the Demon-Subduing Pestle, came into being, turning the virtual into the real, and colliding with the fist through the air.

Thunder exploded on the ground, and countless demonic roars rose one after another. Dian Chen took three steps back and looked at Lu Bei, who had a calm expression, with disbelief in his eyes.

He had already infinitely raised his evaluation of the leader of the Tianjian Sect, but in the end, he still underestimated the other party.

It turns out that this is talent. Some people can really reach the threshold of being invincible through simple practice.

Lu Bei appeared indifferent but in fact he was disdainful. The intelligence capability of Dashan Temple was too poor. They actually used their demon bodies to fight him head-on. This was a version from eight hundred years ago. Didn't they know that Sect Master Lu had practiced the 'Eclipse Demon Buddha's Infinite Heart Sutra'? He actually thought he had a great chance of winning.

From Dian Chen's words and actions, Lu Bei saw a strong smell of pretense. What errand boy, what master next door, and if you don't mind, it's ok for him to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, but the most crucial intelligence ability is full of loopholes.

Lu Bei thought back to the past, wondering why his cheap master had returned empty-handed from Dashan Temple. It was probably because he was beaten by a bald donkey like Dian Chen who was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger in the first battle.

If a little novice monk is so powerful, the abbot must be invincible in the world.

It's so funny. The little monk is one of the best masters in Dashan Temple.

Dian Chen could fool Mo Buxiu but he couldn't fool Lu Bei. He jumped across the map and killed his way through the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons. He took the throne of the Demon King whenever he wanted and he could let the Demon Queen sleep whenever she wanted. Then he came to Dashan Temple, where the abbot Dian Chi came in person and demanded that he hand over the Demon-Suppressing Stele today.

"Master Dianchen, your Buddhist teachings are truly profound. This sect master has read two Buddhist scriptures and explored some of the most basic Buddhist methods. I am grateful for your patience and I will show you my ugliness today."

A dark light flickered in Lu Bei's eyes, and he laughed heartily: "Hehehehehe—"

Amidst the loud laughter, the giant Buddha rose from the ground, and the mighty devilish sound swept down.

"Buddha is the great evil, and I am hell!"

The devil's corpse transformed into the sitting Eclipse Buddha. The Buddha was like a devil, with twelve pitch-black relics spread out, manifesting the boundless red lotus hell. On the dark spiritual mountain, evil spirits were ringing bells and Rakshasas were chanting scriptures. It was a scene of all the evil Shura.

"What a great mercy..."

Ordinary people can only see hell. Lu Bei is a complete demon. In Dian Chen's eyes, everything he does is false. The ugly and ferocious Eclipse Demon Buddha is supremely holy. He is hell, taking all the evil into himself, and bearing all kinds of sorrows with his own clear heart. He is the absolute representative of great wisdom, great perseverance, and great compassion.

boom!!!

The devil's heart corpse raised its arms and swept across, and the great devil's Buddha light shone everywhere, swallowing up the vast ocean of devil energy, killing the blood-red color, and reorganizing the world to become a bright and clear world.

The filth of heaven and earth has been washed away, but the sins of the devil remain deeper.

Dian Chen sat cross-legged on the ground, reciting scriptures, and was convinced of his defeat. His Buddhist teachings were no match for Lu Bei's, and their compassion, perseverance, and wisdom were far apart.

[You defeated Dian Chen and gained 1.8 billion experience points. After judging the opponent's level, the difference is greater than 20 levels, and the reward is 1.8 billion experience points]

With so much experience, the monk is doing well and can make a name for himself in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters.

Lu Bei secretly thought it was wonderful, but then he changed his mind and realized that if he had come to Dashan Temple earlier, his experience would have been doubled, so he rounded it off and realized he had lost a lot. He immediately stopped laughing.

"Donor Lu..."

"That's enough."

Lu Bei came to Dian Chen's side, looking like you've seen through him, "That's right, just as the master expected, all the rumors of destroying the place and kicking the master out are fake. This sect master came to Dashan Temple today to learn from the masters about the profound Buddhist teachings. After all... this sect master also has a Buddhist heart."

Dian Chen was stunned. What was he about to say just now? Forget it, it doesn’t matter anyway.

He said, "Donor Lu has profound Buddhist knowledge. I'm afraid there is not a single master in Dashan Temple who can debate with you. I'm ashamed to say that I'm afraid you will return home disappointed."

"It's okay. One can learn from others' experience. Everyone is equal in front of the Buddha. There is no such thing as high or low Buddhism. All the masters are the best in the world. If you discuss Buddhism with them, you will definitely gain something. Please make the arrangements. This sect leader would like to debate with them one by one." Lu Bei said with a serious face.

"This is such a good thing, it can be said to be a chance sent from heaven. I will arrange it right away."

"By the way, come one by one, and don't tell me what this sect master is capable of."

"Why?"

"With fear and respect in their hearts, how can they talk about Buddhism? This sect master is afraid that they will be afraid of the battle and unable to exert their full strength."

"Good!"

Dian Chen nodded repeatedly, pondered for a while, and realized that this was indeed the truth. He then said, "The masters are still debating, for a while..."

"Well, I will wait a little longer."

Seeing this, Lu Bei had no choice but to settle for the next best thing. By luck, he caught the intermission of the debate meeting and caught the young monk and his apprentice in the corner.

"Master Lu, why are you here too?"

"We were invited here, two eminent monks, to cause trouble. As for Wu Zhou, my Buddhism is still quite good, so naturally I have to come and take charge, so as not to be slapped in the face by you bald donkeys from Xiong Chu." Lu Bei said as a matter of course.

"…" x2

The two bald men didn't say anything, so Lu Bei asked, "What about you guys? Why did you come to Dashan Temple to mess things up? Do you have any grudges against each other?"

Gu Zongchen was a sincere monk. He did not hide his purpose and told Lu Bei truthfully that he came to Dashan Temple to obtain two opportunities.

One is the supreme magical power of Buddhism - the Sutra of the Present-World Tathagata.

The second is to suppress the extraterritorial demon under the Ten Thousand Stele Forest—Da Ye Mi Tian.

The Heart of Black Sky!

He is in charge of all darkness in the Demon Realm and is the chief of the thirty-six heart masters in the Demon Realm's Demon Palace. He is also known as the Lord of Great Darkness, the Lord of Great Night, and the Lord of the Future. He is the only one among the three thousand demons who corresponds to the Demon Lord.
