Chapter 275 The Buddha's Way of Tribulation, General Outline of the Tathagata (4k)
In the center of the lotus platform, the old monk chuckled and asked:
"Do you know who I am?"
"Abbot Kong Wen once observed the wall of Bodhidharma to realize the Tao and the wonderful method of Bodhi. He once saw the golden-haired roar of the Bodhisattva appearing in the world, subduing demons and demons, and realized the roar of the diamond lion. He once killed the mad dragon king who was causing trouble in the Central Plains with one palm, and destroyed the Blood Sea Demon Sect. Sitting Before transformation, he understood the Dharma of the World-Honored Tathagata, created the "Tathagata Divine Palm", and sat down with Zhang Zu to discuss the Tao..."
As a top student, Lu Chenzhou memorized "The History of Martial Arts in the Great Xia" by heart.
The ultimate achievement of Monk Kong Wen is no less than that of Zhang Zu. It is an unavoidable mountain in the history of Buddhist martial arts. Compared with Patriarch Bodhidharma, he is better than the master.
"Have you discovered my identity long ago?"
"...No, I just discovered it recently."
"How did you find it?"
"Chatting with other disciples, they said that no one lives in Qingliang Peak."
"Hahaha."
The old monk laughed sincerely.
"Interesting, interesting."
Lu Chenzhou was in a calm mood. He might have been shocked before talking to Zhang Zu, but after meeting Zhang Zu, he had already expected it.
These powers, who once stood at the pinnacle of the times and are comparable to the pinnacle today, may be strong enough to transcend the constraints of time and space and remain evergreen throughout the ages.
Daoyun is their habitat.
The old monk asked:
"The "Tathagata Divine Palm" I created has a total of six postures, but with the ability of future generations, it must have been deduced into the seventh and eighth postures...
Therefore, there is no need for you to learn "Tathagata Divine Palm" from me. Martial arts practice is better now than in the past. To learn from me is to abandon the near and seek the far.
The method I want to teach you is called "The Heart Sutra of the Supreme Being in the Three Worlds and Ten Directions", or the "Heart Sutra of the Supreme Being in the Three Worlds and Ten Directions", or "The Method of the Supreme Being's Successive Tribulations" for short. This is a method for refining the heart. You can also regard it as the general outline and prelude to the practice of "Tathagata Divine Palm". If you can practice this method to a certain level, you can then practice "Tathagata Divine Palm" and even comprehend your own "World Honored One's secret knowledge". It's all possible, everything is legal. "
Lu Chenzhou pondered in his heart:
"World Honored One's Calamity Method? I've never heard of it."
Now, he can basically confirm that these powerful people hidden behind the scenes are indeed alive to some extent... because their wisdom and memory are still there, and they are still immersed in the illusion they have weaved over the long years. , continued to study the methods of Buddhism and Taoism, and created a martial arts that no one in the future has ever heard of.
He remembered the scene before Bodhidharma entered the Tao, where his spirit and life were intertwined, and the visions of heaven and earth emerged, which were finally placed on Bodhidharma's wall and became the Tao Yun for future generations.
There is also Zhang Tianshi, the purple energy is coming from the east.
Lu Zu, lifted up the clouds and soared.
These visions should all have explanations.
"Contemporary masters, great masters, and even heavenly kings cannot do this. Only the Taoist Patriarch at the pinnacle of the era can remain in the Tao Yun.
Moreover, people like Wang Zi'an, Ge Xianweng and others have not interacted with me in the illusion. So far, only Zhang Zu and Kongwen Shenmen have interacted with me. This shows that not all the sages who left Tao Yun can discover my existence. "
These are all Lu Chenzhou's guesses.
Dao Yun, martial arts will, Tianxin, life and death...
These are all too illusory.
His realm is low and he cannot see the essence clearly.
The old monk said:
"Before teaching the Dharma, I will ask you a few questions. It is not a test. If you know, you know. If you don't know, you don't know. There is no need to worry, or you may fool me."
"Senior, please ask."
"What is the World Honored One?"
"The Buddha has many virtues and is admired by the world, so he is called the World Honored One."
"What is calamity?"
"Junior doesn't understand what you are asking specifically."
"What is the heart?"
"Human thoughts, martial arts will."
"What is..."
The old monk asked, and Lu Chenzhou answered.
Before you know it, there are dozens of questions.
Lu Chenzhou couldn't answer many questions.
The old monk was not angry either, and always had a smile on his face.
Finally, he asked:
"Have you met Zhang Zu?"
"I've seen it."
"Is Zhang Zuke okay?"
"Zhang Zu failed to enter the sixth realm and became a Taoist immortal."
"I know that. I'm just asking if it's okay now."
"...Oh, that's good."
Anyway, you are all in the Tao Aggregate, free and at ease, without disaster or calamity.
To a certain extent, isn’t this also becoming an immortal or a Buddha?
The old monk continued to ask:
"Do you have the consciousness to become a path-finder?"
"I have."
"How many disasters are there in the world today?"
Lu Chenzhou told the old monk about the current situation in the world.
The three evils of suffering in the world have lasted for a long time.
Take this opportunity to complain to the sage.
When the old monk heard this, he looked solemn and suddenly sighed:
"Sure enough, the influence of the Netherworld has deepened."
"The good news is that martial arts are also growing rapidly. Human beings are breaking their limits faster and faster. We have 14 strong people in the seventh realm in Daxia alone. If we include other overseas countries, there are seven strong people in the seventh realm. Probably as many as 24."
The old monk didn't say anything.
He had seen the deepest horror.
Therefore, there is always a layer of compassion surrounding him,
He said:
"After you leave, you can give a copy of this method to the current abbot of Shaolin Temple."
"Junior, remember this."
Subsequently.
The old monk began to lecture Lu Chenzhou, and the mantras appeared in the sky and the earth, forming a golden scroll that covered the sky and the sun. It was sacred and vast, and the Dharma was boundless.
"Three Realms and Ten Directions, the World Honored Tathagata..."
With Lu Chenzhou's current Buddhist wisdom and cultivation, it is actually difficult to comprehend the meaning of these mantras at the first time, but it doesn't matter. The old monk is just enlightening him.
What's more, he has the martial arts tree...
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Chenzhou opened his eyes.
He looked at his reflection in the reservoir.
"It's over."
In his mind, the martial arts tree swayed gracefully.
At some point, it had risen to eleven feet.
On the main trunk, a new skill emerged:
[The Heart Sutra of the Three Worlds and Ten Directions: The First Level (1%)]
The position of this internal skill is still above the "Pure Yang Great Pill Skill".
Even higher than "Ladder to the Clouds".
To be able to serve as the general outline of "Tathagata Palm", it must be at the level of divine skills, and its most special thing is that it is a pure method of refining the mind, similar to the meditation method of spiritual practitioners, or the mind plan created by Daxia.
Judging from the name, this should be more awesome.
Lu Chenzhou digested the information that was enlightening.
"The World Honored One's Tribulation Method. To practice this method, one needs to be at least at the third level, or at the fifth level of the boxing theory. Those who are not determined in martial arts should not practice it, otherwise it will not have the effect of refining the mind, but will easily get lost in the tribulation."
Lu Chenzhou was shocked.
"The learning conditions are so harsh, could it be a peerless magic skill?"
A lot of information flooded into his mind, and he stood there in a daze.
"The practice method of this method is so wonderful."
He turned around and returned to the direction of Shaolin Temple.
He wanted to fulfill his promise and pass this method to the Shaolin abbot.
On Qingliang Peak, everything was normal.
All the miracles just now only happened in Lu Chenzhou's mind.
In the past day, he talked with the old monk.
In fact, he was talking to himself.
...
Mingxin looked at Lu Chenzhou who was coming back.
"Um, my friend, have you forgotten something?"
Lu Chenzhou clasped his fists and said:
"Senior, I want to see Abbot Huikong."
As soon as Lu Chenzhou spoke, the little monk next to him laughed.
Although you are the chief of Longcheng, can you see Abbot Huikong whenever you want?
It is extremely difficult for a great master to meet such a big man.
Mingxin thought for a moment and said:
"Okay, my friend, wait for my news."
He had a hunch.
Lu Chenzhou wanted to see the abbot, which should be related to the enlightenment in the kitchen. The master said that Lu Chenzhou succeeded in enlightenment, and he must have also comprehended some wonderful martial arts. No matter what the level of this martial arts is, as long as it is created by the ancestors, it is valuable.
Not long.
Tuotian Tou Tuo strode over and asked with a smile:
"Young friend, do you want to see the abbot?"
"Yes."
"What's the matter?"
"I succeeded in enlightenment in the kitchen and got a wonderful method."
He did not explain too much, nor did he say that it was the monk Kongwen who instructed him to do so. After all, it was too shocking to talk to a dead sage across the air.
It was normal for him to just learn martial arts.
Tuotian Tou Tuo laughed and said:
"Follow me."
He knew that Lu Chenzhou had succeeded in enlightenment.
During this period, some masters and great masters raised doubts. They felt that since Lu Chenzhou had not succeeded in enlightenment, he should not have lived in the holy place of the kitchen.
In the end, they were suppressed by Tuotian Tou Tuo with a tough attitude.
He was the true disciple of Abbot Huikong and had a high status.
Some people dared to be angry but dared not speak even if they were dissatisfied.
Not long after, Lu Chenzhou followed the Tou Tuo to a seven-story pagoda. The pagoda was carved and piled with white jade, and the surface was covered with moss and creepers.
Tuotian Tou Tuo said:
"There are two entrances to the virtual world where Songshan City is located, one large and one small. The large one is located in a village at the foot of Songshan Mountain and is guarded by the military. There has also been a small entrance inside our Shaolin Temple since ancient times, which is this pagoda."
Lu Chenzhou asked:
"Senior, is this the Demon Subduing Pagoda?"
"History of Martial Arts" records that during the Dadu Dynasty, an ancient well in the back mountain of Shaolin Temple suddenly gushed out blood, and blood smoke rose to the sky, which could be seen for hundreds of miles. It turned out that the terrifying power of the netherworld and the human world intersected, and a door to the netherworld was opened here.
A large number of demons and ghosts emerged from the netherworld, including demon kings and ghost kings. The strong men of Shaolin Temple went out in full force, and wandering masters and lay disciples also returned to Shaolin in a hurry. Monks from Mount Wutai, Taoists from Mount Qiyun, hermits from Mount Zhongnan and other places came to help.
The battle lasted for three days and nights, and blood flowed like a river, soaking the pure land of Buddhism.
Finally, the monk Kongwen was promoted to the fifth realm, and together with Zhang Zu who came from overseas, he killed the culprit, the Great Demon King, the Red Eyed King, and the demon and ghost troubles were finally quelled.
After this battle, many masters were killed in the martial arts world of Dadu.
Zhang Zu and the monk took the white jade stone from Kunlun Mountain and many natural treasures, invited Buddhist masters, and performed rituals for 49 days here to refine this pagoda.
Its name: Seven-level Pagoda!
The pagoda contains the power of the martial arts will of the masters in the world, and it can be called the world's number one treasure at that time. Shaolin Temple used this pagoda to suppress the ancient well. In the following thousand years, the ancient well had unusual movements, but the demons and ghosts under the pagoda were unable to break the seal and descend to the world.
The last time the seal was broken was in modern times.
At this time, there were countless Buddhist masters, and it was easy to suppress it.
The seven-level pagoda was also continuously reinforced. After entering the modern era, the military and Songshan joined forces to sweep away the demons and ghosts in the virtual realm under the pagoda.
In this way, the pagoda becomes a simple entrance and exit.
However, for safety reasons, this entrance and exit is not allowed to be used unless it is an emergency or approved by the top leaders. If you want to go to Songshan City, you have to go through the military passage.
Tuotian Tou Tuo said:
"That's right. The Seven-Level Pagoda gathers the wills of many masters and the wishes of all living beings. In fact, it is also a rare place of Taoism. However, due to its special nature, it cannot be opened to the public. The Taoism in it is a collective Taoism, which is relatively chaotic and disordered.
Those with weak martial arts will are easy to get lost in it. You must concentrate your mind next. If you can pass the test, it will be of great benefit to your spiritual practice."
"Thank you, senior!"
Lu Chenzhou knew that this was an opportunity given to him by Tou Tuo.
Otherwise, he could have taken the military passage.
Tuo Tuo put his hands together, chanted the Buddha's name, and walked into the tower.
Lu Chenzhou followed closely behind him, and the Tiger Gallbladder Spear behind him trembled.
[There is a demonic aura! 】
After being promoted to a medium-level divine weapon, the Tiger Gallbladder Spear is particularly sensitive to demonic aura. Even if it has been diluted countless times after years of erosion, it can still distinguish it.
In addition, its spiritual wisdom is becoming more and more anthropomorphic.
Through spiritual communication, there is no obstacle to communicating with Lu Chenzhou.
The ancient, decayed smell hit him in the face.
Toutian Tou Tuo lifted a white jade manhole cover weighing tens of tons with one hand.
He said:
"Are you ready?"
"Yes."
"I jump, you jump."
The old monk fell lightly from the well mouth.
Lu Chenzhou looked at the bottom of the well that was bottomless and led straight to the underworld.
In his mind, countless illusions seemed to flash:
The demonic clouds that covered the sky, the ghost fog, the big-headed ghost with green face and fangs, the human-faced centipede with a thousand feet, the blazing fire ghost... and a red demon fox that reached the sky and the earth, with a human face and a fox body, nine tails on its back, exuding a monstrous demonic aura.
"The nine-tailed demon fox...is already the body of a celestial fox."
For fox demons, every additional tail increases one point of strength.
Three tails equals breaking two.
Five tails equals breaking three.
Seven tails equals breaking four.
Nine tails...is equivalent to a grandmaster!
This must be the ancient demon king recorded in the history of martial arts, the Red Fox King!
Like the Blood Tengu, they are both famous villains.
The residual wills of countless demons and ghosts formed a collective, turning into a shadow monster with tens of thousands of tentacles. It appeared in Lu Chenzhou's mind. The strength of the mental fluctuations was even stronger than that of the assassin, but Lu Chenzhou was no longer the same as before. The shadow of the martial arts tree in his mind rustled, waving millions of branches like a world tree.
The tentacles and branches collided and annihilated each other.
Xuanhu and Feiyan soared into the sky and hit the body of the shadow monster directly.
Not long after, the shadow monster collapsed.
Hu Taisui calmly sharpened his knife and did not make a move.
Lu Chenzhou's mental strength may not be inferior to that of the spiritual practitioners of the same realm in the ancient country of Posha. This kind of strong mental attack cannot shake it in the slightest.
In the mind.
Thousands of demons and monsters disappeared.
The clouds and mists dispersed, and a jade building stood high in the sky.
Figures stood in the clouds, like heavenly soldiers and generals.
The leader was a monk and a Taoist priest.
Looking closely, they were just ordinary warriors wearing ordinary clothes. Where are the real gods and Buddhas in this world? Human peace and happiness depend on their own hands. How can we pin our hopes on something illusory?
