I am guarding the sky prison in Journey to the West

Chapter 272

Li Anran and Nezha left the Nantianmen and flew all the way to the Lingjiu Cave in the Western Snow Mountain.

Daxue Mountain Lingjiu Cave and Lingjiu Mountain Yuanjue Cave, the dojo of Randen Ancient Buddha, are two completely different places.

The Vulture Cave is a place where Tathagata Buddha attained enlightenment. It is also the place where Wutian attacked Tathagata and was killed, and where Tathagata was swallowed by a peacock.

At that time, the Tathagata had just become the World Honored One of Buddhism and received the blessing of Buddhism's great luck. He suddenly enlightened to the Dharma by the stream in front of the Vulture Cave in the Snowy Mountains.

Wutian was jealous that Tathagata had become the Buddha's World Honored One, but he himself had become a traitor to Buddhism. He secretly attacked Tathagata, but was defeated by Tathagata and was killed by Tathagata.

However, Wutian got a blessing in disguise. A ray of remnant soul merged into the twelfth-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus, and the World-Destroying Black Lotus was refined into the Soul Black Lotus.

Tathagata originally planned to take advantage of the last opportunity when Wutian had just refined the soul black lotus and it had not yet fully integrated, and used the merits and virtues of the golden lotus to completely annihilate Wutian.

Kong Xuan happened to break free from the shackles of Saint Zhunti at that time and escaped from Lingshan Mountain. On the road, he bumped into Tathagata who was enlightened in front of Lingjiu Cave in Daxue Mountain. He felt malicious and swallowed Tathagata and Black Lotus in one mouthful. In the belly.

Kong Xuan's magical power is not inferior to that of Tathagata.

When Saint Zhunti left the Three Realms, he left many restrictions on him.

With the help of this restriction, Tathagata broke out directly and suppressed him again.

Kong Xuan is the son of Phoenix. Lingshan not only covets Kong Xuan's luck as a bird but does not want to offend Phoenix.

Under the persuasion of the Buddhas, the Tathagata easily promoted Kong as the Peacock Great Ming King Bodhisattva, and became the brother-in-law of the Golden-winged Dapeng and the Eagle.

However, Wutian's soul Black Lotus took this opportunity to take root in Kong Xuan's belly, and when Tathagata triggered the restriction and Kong Xuan had no power to resist, he absorbed the essence and magic power in Kong Xuan's body, and completed the final fusion.

Since then, Wutian's soul has become the twelfth-grade world-destroying black lotus.

If you want to completely kill him, you can only completely destroy the twelfth-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus.

This is something even the Tathagata cannot do!
There was no other way. Tathagata could only ask his disciple Ayinaval, who was best at medical skills and organ skills, to take out the World-Destroying Black Lotus from Kong Xuan's body and suppress the World-Destroying Black Lotus in the abyss of darkness.

With the cooperation of Kong Xuan, Ayinavar successfully took out the World-Destroying Black Lotus, but he himself was controlled by the World-Destroying Black Lotus and became the pawn that Wutian buried deepest in Lingshan.

Li Anran knows so clearly because these are things Guanyin has personally experienced.

He had seen it with his own eyes in Guanyin's life.

Li Anran and Nezha were traveling very fast, and as soon as their thoughts turned, they were already above the Snowy Mountains.

From a distance, you can see the shining light of the Buddha, like the sun rising from the golden top, emitting a strange light and splendor on the clouds. Worse than that.

Lingjiu Cave is located near the top of Daxue Mountain, surrounded by everlasting snow.

Only at the entrance of the cave, there is a hot spring flowing all year round. It is like spring all year round and the flowers are blooming. It is very eye-catching in the white world.

The Mongolian Realm is a small world constructed by the Tathagata using great magic power in the innate spiritual treasure universe diagram.

The diagram of the universe was placed in the Vulture Cave by Tathagata.

And because the Vulture Cave is one of the Tathagata's dojos, and many of the wronged souls in the Mongolian realm are due to the sins committed by Buddhism, it is related to the reputation of Buddhism.

Lingjiu Cave is heavily guarded, and there are many Bodhisattvas and Arhats practicing in it.

Nezha was unsure of sneaking in alone, so he came to Tianlao to ask Li Anran for help.

"In addition to the two Arhats and 36 Vajras on the bright side, the gatekeepers also have the Day and Night Wandering Gods and the Dharma Protector Jialan in the dark. There is also a demon mirror hanging above the gate, with a six-character mantra engraved on it."

"I tried several times, not to mention sneaking in, as long as I get a little closer, they will react. I was almost discovered by them several times!"

Nezha had obviously been here more than once. When he mentioned this, he gritted his teeth and became angry: "You said, if they didn't have a guilty conscience, they would have sent so many people to guard Mengjie, a ghost place similar to Fusui City?"

Li Anran took a closer look and found that in addition to what Nezha said, there was obviously something wrong with the pattern on the door of Lingjiu Cave. It was not just beautiful, but a warning formation.

Fortunately, Nezha didn't get close because of the demon mirror and the six-character mantra.

Otherwise, he would be discovered the moment he hits the door.

In addition, judging from the aura emanating from the six-character mantra, it is almost the same as the one on Five Elements Mountain, and it is obviously left behind by the Tathagata!
Even if they can use the art of transformation to deceive Arhat Vajra Protector Jialan, they are likely to alert the Six-Character Mantra and be discovered by the Tathagata.

Li Anran watched for a long time, but couldn't think of a perfect solution, so he asked: "Is this the only entrance to Lingjiu Cave?"

Nezha said: "This is the only one."

Li Anran asked again: "How about using soil to escape underground?"

Nezha shook his head: "No. These Bodhisattvas and Arhats in Lingshan chant sutras and recite Dharma here every day. The Dharma has infiltrated this snow mountain from the inside to the outside. If we use Earth Escape, the magic power in the body will be mixed with the Dharma in the soil. If the Dharma conflicts and collides, the noise caused will definitely be discovered by the people inside."

Li Anran laughed: "What if we use Buddhism?"

Nezha was startled when he saw Li Anran holding a Buddha seal in his hand, with rays of Buddha's light swirling around and converging into a circle of Buddha's light behind his head. The vast and infinite aura of light and compassion was no worse than the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas he had seen. .

"You, you..." Nezha's eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost, and he stammered: "You can even do this???"

After he learned about Li Jing, he didn't go to Yang Jian for help, but went straight to Tianlao.

Firstly, it was because Yang Jian was busy with official duties as the God of Justice, and secondly, it was also because he knew that Li Anran knew a lot of things and could think of many ways.

However, he never expected that Li Anran was so good at Buddhism!

its not right!
This is not a question of whether you are good at it or not!

Nezha suddenly realized something he had overlooked.

Essence, energy and spirit are the foundation of cultivation!

Even if Li Anran is profound in Buddhism, does this mean that he will change at all?
When Cihang, Manjusri and Samantabhadra abandoned the Tao and followed the Buddha, they did so with great determination and at great cost!

Li Anran was just joking and directly transformed his Taoism into Buddhism!
Based on his understanding of Li Anran, it is impossible for Li Anran to make fun of his own cultivation. Then it is only possible that Li Anran really changes if he wants to!

This simply subverted his understanding of cultivation!

"How did you do it?" Nezha couldn't help but ask.

Li Anran said: "Maybe it's because I have a special physique and can freely change between various exercises without being affected." "Ah?!" Nezha opened his mouth wide.

There are many creatures with unique qualifications in this world, such as innate fire spirits, innate water spirits, Yang Jian's human-god hybrid, his lotus body... and so on!
However, this was the first time he had heard of someone with Li Anran’s physique!
No, it’s not the first time he’s heard of it, probably even his master, Taiyi Tianzun, has never heard of it!
"You can't be Hong..." Nezha paused, realizing that it was too disrespectful to say this, so he changed his words: "...the biological son of Tiandao!"

He finally understood why Li Anran could catch up with him in such a short period of time!

In this world, except for saints who can master all kinds of techniques, most monks can only practice a certain type of technique that suits them.

In other words, it’s the way that suits you!

Once you change the technique, it is equivalent to changing the avenue. At least, your cultivation level will be damaged, and at worst, you will become possessed.

Each type of exercise has its own advantages and disadvantages, which leads to the fact that all practitioners have their own strengths and weaknesses, areas of restraint and areas of restraint.

Even those ancient and powerful innate creatures are no exception!

Faced with this situation, most monks try to use spells or magic weapons to make up for their shortcomings. When they encounter bottlenecks, they can only fight hard!

There is really no other way, just like Cihang Manjusri and others who try hard to cultivate and their Taoism is damaged, so they change to other exercises.

Li Anran can practice all the techniques without conflicting with each other!

This means that not only does he have no shortcomings, but when he encounters a bottleneck, he can also change his technique and try another way to break through!
This is horrible!

Nezha grabbed Li Anran's arms and said sternly: "As long as you are rich and noble, don't forget each other."

Li Anran: "...If you keep talking nonsense, I will return to heaven now!"

The solemnity on Nezha's face fell, and he said quickly: "No, no, no, I'll give you a laugh!" Then he half-jokingly said: "However, if you can achieve enlightenment and become a saint in the future, you must protect me more. point!"

The word "cover" was naturally learned by Nezha from Li Anran, and it is vivid.

Li Anran rolled his eyes: "I will protect you now and take care of Li Jing!"

Li Anran was complaining about Nezha, but Nezha's eyes were bright and he nodded repeatedly: "Yes! Let's deal with that bastard Li Jing first! I can rely on you this time!"

Li Anran: "..."

Li Anran stopped rambling, opened his right hand, made Nezha smaller and jumped in. Then he used the earth escape technique and leaned towards the Lingjiu Cave from the underground.

This snowy mountain is just like Nezha said. Under the light of millions of years of Buddha's light, every plant, tree, stone and soil has turned into a Buddha land, in which a large amount of Buddhist dharma is condensed.

If you get it in the mortal world, you can use it directly as a Buddhist instrument.

Once non-Buddhist people use earth escape techniques here, they will be attacked and suppressed by the vast amount of Buddhist dharma condensed in the entire snow mountain for tens of millions of years.

Even Daluo Jinxian would lose his skin when encountering such a situation, let alone try to sneak in quietly.

However, when Li Anran transformed all of his magic power into Buddhism, this suppression turned into a blessing. Not only was there no restriction on his ability to perform Earth Escape, it was actually smoother than before.

Although the Vulture Cave is one of Tathagata's dojos and has an extraordinary status in Buddhism, there are not many valuable things in it.

The Qiankun Tu and the Mongolian Realm can only be regarded as black materials for Lingshan!

There are not many people who are interested in them and dare to really offend Lingshan. It is even more impossible for Buddhists to be interested in them and dare to really offend Lingshan while avoiding Arhat Vajra!
Lingshan is among the mountains of the Snowy Mountains, with only a few restrictions placed there.

The purpose is only to better gather Buddhism and make the Buddhist land in Daxue Mountain more pure, and there is no need to be wary of the earth escape technique.

Li Anran and Nezha entered the Lingjiu Cave smoothly.

Lingjiu Cave is divided into two caves: the inner and outer caves.

The outer cave is the place where Tathagata originally taught the Dharma. There are scriptures left behind when he lectured on the surrounding walls. Many Bodhisattvas and Arhats sit cross-legged in front of the stone wall, meditating on the mysteries contained in it.

The inner cave is the former residence of Tathagata, and no one else is allowed to enter without permission.

Lingshan obviously didn't expect anyone to sneak in here quietly. There was no stone door blocking the inner and outer caves, and there were no hanging demon mirrors or six-character mantras.

There are only two Vajras guarding the outside, one on the left and one on the right, to prevent anyone from accidentally entering the inner cave.

Li Anran carefully avoided the stone walls with Buddhist scriptures and successfully sneaked into the inner cave.

Li Anran carefully observed the surroundings and made sure that there were no special arrangements in the inner cave before he revealed his figure and stretched out his hand to let Nezha jump out.

"Is this the picture of the universe?" Nezha saw the picture of the universe hanging on the wall at a glance.

There are stars shining at the top of the picture, and in the middle are thousands of pagodas. Countless mortals sit cross-legged around the pagodas, with their hands clasped together, looking pious and respectful. You can faintly hear the sound of chanting sutras.

Wisps of incense and the power of faith continued to fly out from those wronged souls, first converging into the pagoda in front of them, and finally converging into the largest pagoda in the center.

And inside that pagoda, a golden Buddha sat cross-legged, with a compassionate look on his face, and recited true sutras.

Countless golden Sanskrit words flew out of his mouth, filling the entire picture.

Rays of Buddha light fell like starlight, shining on everyone, making their expressions more pious and respectful.

These things on the Qiankun Diagram are not paintings!
But the real situation in the Mongolian Realm!
Those unjust souls who died in vain had no peace during their lives, and were captured into the monstrous world after their death. After being brainwashed by the Buddha's light and Dharma, they provided the unknown Buddha with the power of faith to cultivate his six-foot-long golden body!
Even though Li Anran has always had a cold temperament, seeing this scene in front of him, some fire of ignorance arose in his heart.

Nezha was even more furious and furious: "These bald donkeys in Lingshan are really knocking their bones and sucking out their marrow! They won't even let go of these innocent souls who died in vain! Let's go! Let's destroy this harmful thing now!"

With that said, he was about to jump into the Mongolian Realm.

"Nezha, calm down!"

Li Anran grabbed Nezha and said: "The Mongolian Realm is a small world built by the Tathagata. The rules must be different from the outside world. If we rush in like this, we will definitely alert the snake!"

Nezha shouted: "If you scare the snake, I will scare the snake! If Tathagata does such a thing, I won't be afraid even if I confront him face to face!"

Li Anran sneered and said: "Aren't you afraid, what about those innocent souls? With your and my strength, if a small world is shattered, what will they do?"

Nezha's expression was stagnant and speechless.

Li Anran said: "If you want to find those mortals who were silenced by Li Jing, we have to be patient! Let's wait for a while. When more innocent souls are sent in, we will sneak in together! Find out the situation first, and then do something Decide!"
