Tongtian Bamboo Repair

Chapter 403: Demon Suppression Cave

The relic is equivalent to the golden elixir of Taoist monks. However, unlike Taoist monks who only have one golden elixir, Buddhist monks can have many relics. The golden elixir of Taoist monks is indestructible, but the relics of Buddhist monks break into pieces when touched.

If the golden elixir of a Taoist monk is broken, the person is doomed. If the Buddhist monk's relic is broken, it will break, and it can be condensed again.

The golden elixir period is very important in Taoism and is an important pass. The relic period is not important to Buddhist monks at all. It is just a transition. There are even Buddhist monks who directly cultivate the Buddha's heart without even condensing a single relic.

Relics are more like a kind of magic power reserve for Buddhist monks. If there are more relics, then the magic power is strong. If there are few relics, there is no big problem. It is just that the fighting skills are not strong.

Being able to condense relics shows that this Buddhist monk's magic power has reached a certain level. The condensation of relics can usually be regarded as being able to practice Buddhist magical powers.

Yehuo Honglian Temple is the largest esoteric sect and has many magical powers. The most famous ones are Abi's three swords and Karma's burning body. The three swords of Abi are said to kill all the evil spirits and heretics in the world. Karma Fire Burning Body is known as the most powerful magical power in the Nirvana realm (the realm of transcending tribulation).

If you want to practice these magical powers, you must study the corresponding Buddhist scriptures. For example, if you want to comprehend the three swords of Abi, you must comprehend the Ksitigarbha Sutra. If you want to understand the fire of karma that burns your body, you must understand the "Red Lotus Sutra of Karma Fire". Every Buddhist scripture contains great principles of Buddhism, and naturally also contains great supernatural powers. In fact, if you thoroughly understand the Diamond Sutra, you can also understand the magical power of Vajra and its indestructibility.

When Zhang Miao was reading the Bible, he actually had some insights into the indestructibility of Vajra. Now as long as he condenses the first relic, it means that he has enough magic power to start the formal practice of Vajra Indestructibility.

Buddhist magical powers are powerful, but they must also be supported by solid Buddhist and Taoist theories and strong magical power.

"Junior brother, you said you have condensed the relics?" The senior brother from the Vajra Academy asked Zhang Miao in surprise.

Zhang Miao nodded, turned his hand over, and a relic as white as a bead appeared in his palm. The relic emitted a colorful light, illuminating the senior brother's face clearly.

The senior brother thought about it, nodded and said, "I didn't expect that junior brother has already condensed the relics in less than three years since he came to the courtyard. Could it be that junior brother has already passed the sutra debate and reached the position of master?"

At this time, Zhang Miao shook his head and said: "I am stupid. If I can condense the relics, I am just practicing hard. I have not passed the debate conference."

Zhang Miao's words made the senior brother shake his head. He was a little disdainful and said in a preaching tone: "Junior brother, polishing your magic power can certainly increase your strength, but Buddhism is the foundation. If you put the cart before the horse, it will be extremely difficult for you to get promoted in the future. ”

Zhang Miao also smiled bitterly and said: "Senior brother's teachings are absolutely correct, but I am stupid and have failed to debate scriptures several times, so there is nothing I can do about it. It seems that I have some talent for cultivation, but it is far from Buddhism."

The senior brother looked at Zhang Miao's depressed look, and he couldn't say anything. He is not this junior brother's teacher, and he has no control over this junior brother's future. He just said calmly: "Since you have the relics and your magic power is strong, then I will approve your application to go to the Demon Suppressing Cave. Since you are struggling to make progress on the Buddhist path, it is also good to do some chores to maintain the temple." "

After he finished speaking, he carved something on a Buddhist amulet, then gave the Buddhist amulet to Zhang Miao and said: "Take this and go to the Demon Suppression Cave. Every month you guard it, you will have corresponding merits. You can exchange your merits for some common things. It can be maintained.”

Zhang Miao took the Buddhist amulet, saluted his senior brother, and then turned around and left. When the senior brother looked at his back, he shook his head and stopped paying attention. In the eyes of the senior brother, a monk like Zhang Miao who does not practice Buddhism and only cultivates Dharma has lost his future. Although he can cultivate the relics, but without the support of Buddhism, he will definitely not be able to cultivate the Buddha's mind. He will never be able to cultivate the Buddha's heart in this life. We can only stay at this level now.

And Zhang Miao didn't care what this senior brother thought. He came to look for this senior brother today just to take over the task of guarding the Demon Cave. The Demon-Suppressing Cave is below the Red Lotus Temple and inside the Red Lotus Peak. Inside is a prison full of restrictions, which also houses those demonic monks who have gone crazy.

The Red Lotus Sect, like other sects, is also invaded by demons, and due to the Red Lotus Sect's special understanding of Buddhism, its disciples are more likely to become possessed by demons. Most of the demons imprisoned in the Demon Suppressing Cave were once disciples of our sect. Those monks who specialize in Buddhism never dare to come here. They are afraid that they will hear some heresies here and destroy their Buddhist hearts.

On the other hand, those disciples who do not have a high understanding of Buddhist principles are somewhat resistant to these crooked principles. The more deeply a Buddhist disciple studies Buddhism, the easier it is for him to fall into the devil's path.

Therefore, the guards of this demon-suppressing cave are basically disciples who do not have a high understanding of Buddhism but have relatively strong magical power.

Zhang Miao got this job easily after telling her situation. He took the Buddhist amulet to the entrance of the Demon Suppressing Cave. After some inspection, he entered the Demon Suppressing Cave and became a glorious guard.

There are nine floors in the Demon Suppression Cave. The further down you go, the stronger the demons you suppress are. There is no entrance at all below the fifth floor, and all intersections are strictly prohibited. People without the host level cannot enter at all.

Zhang Miao's kind of guard was only active on the first to fourth floors. The demons suppressed here are much weaker. Even so, Zhang Miao, as a guard, must wear a thick iron mask and is not allowed to communicate with the devil.

The iron mask Zhang Miao wears is called a pagoda, which has the effect of sound insulation and meditation. Wearing this mask, he cannot hear all the devil's words, and he will not be bewitched by the devil.

Zhang Miao entered the Demon Suppressing Cave because Zhang Miao had received a message from Monk Baoshu, saying that he was being suppressed in the Demon Suppressing Cave. Now that Zhang Miao has the strength, she naturally wants to come to Zhenmo Cave to have a look.

The duty of the guard is to patrol, patrol to see if there are any abnormalities in the restrictions, and patrol to see if the demons are waiting for death. While Zhang Miao is here, he can also absorb the demonic energy in the Demon-Suppressing Cave to practice a magical power - the King of Wrathlessness.

This magical power is a magical power that all the guards of the Demon Suppressing Cave will practice, because practicing this magical power requires demonic energy. In fact, this magical power was also born out of the Yaksha method of Medicine Buddha. It was only through the Red Lotus Sect's own understanding that the condensed Yaksha was transformed into the condensed Dharma Protector Unwrathed Vajra.

Some people are willing to come here to serve as guards, actually just for this magical power. After Zhang Miao came in, he got the sutra "The Fundamental Sutra of the Unwrongful King". As long as he practices this sutra well, he can develop the magical power of the Unwrathed King Kong.

When Zhang Miao first arrived, he could only patrol the first floor. The demons imprisoned on the first floor are the weakest, and the demonic energy here is also the weakest. Moreover, there are many demons here, and there are also the most trivial matters. This is a typical position with more money and less chores.

There were too many people here, and it was not easy for Zhang Miao to set up a large formation to absorb the demonic energy, so he only practiced slowly and spent more time walking around the first floor of the Demon Suppressing Cave to see if there was any trace of Monk Baoshu.

There were many demons in the Demon Suppression Cave, but Zhang Miao walked around and found no trace of Monk Baoshu. Thinking about it, most of the demons here are monks in the Golden Core Foundation Establishment Stage, and Baoshu is a god-incarnation cultivator. Even if he is imprisoned, he cannot be imprisoned here. He should be deeper.

Just as Zhang Miao was walking around, he suddenly saw a monk wearing an iron mask and a faint silhouette behind him stopping him.

"This junior brother is unfamiliar to me. Is this your first time here?" The monk motioned to Zhang Miao to take off the mask, and then he took it off and said this. Zhang Miao nodded and said to him: "I am Lian Zhen, what do you call me, senior brother?"

The man smiled and said: "I have met Junior Brother Lian Zhen, Duoye." He looked behind Zhang Miao and continued: "Junior Brother is really new here. He has not even mastered the basic skills of Wrathful Vajra." He pointed. Pointing to the phantom behind him, he said: "I have just started. Look, this Vajra now has a phantom."

Practicing the Vajra of Resentment is different from that of Yaksha. The Vajra of Resentment is slowly condensed from emptiness to reality. Even a phantom has some fighting power.

This senior brother's Angry King Kong is faint and hazy, but it can be vaguely seen that he is holding a sword. The Vajra of Unwrath that everyone cultivates is different, because everyone’s understanding of the scriptures will be biased.

Senior Brother Duoye must have been eager to show off, so he stopped Zhang Miao.

Zhang Miao also said knowingly: "Senior Brother, this Angry King Kong has begun to take shape. It seems that Senior Brother has worked hard on it."

This man loved to hear good words, so he smiled and said, "I can't help it. I don't have a deep understanding of Buddhism. I like to delve into my magical powers. Let me tell you, this Wrathless King Kong is the best one to start with." It is one of the magical powers, and this magical power is also a great magical power. If you practice it to a profound level, this Angry King Kong can reach the Nirvana state. Whether it is protection or anything else, it is very powerful."

He glanced at Zhang Miao, and then said in a low voice: "Let me tell you, don't exchange the merits you get here for other things first. You first exchange it for an Unwrathed Vajra Visualization Picture in the temple. After you have this picture, you Condensing the Unwrathed Vajra is much simpler. Moreover, these merits can be traded with each other. If it is difficult to visualize at the beginning and the condensation progress is slow, you can also exchange some demonic energy pills with other senior brothers to speed up your cultivation of this magical power."

He was quite enthusiastic and told Zhang Miao all the things he knew about spiritual practice. Zhang Miao accepted it humbly, and the two chatted for a while before they separated and continued patrolling.

Not long after the two separated, before Zhang Miao put on the iron mask, he heard a voice coming from the prison next to him.

"Hey little monk! Here, here!"

Zhang Miao turned around and saw a demon in the prison greeting him. Zhang Miao frowned and looked at him. He originally wanted to ignore him and just put on the iron mask.

But the man shouted directly: "I heard you saying that you want to exchange for the King Kong Diagram of No Anger. I know there is an old picture that is better than the King Kong Diagram of Anger you redeemed in the temple. Do you want to know?"

Zhang Miao glanced at him and said calmly: "The young monk is not interested."

Although Zhang Miao said he was not interested, he had already started talking to him, which made the devil's face light up, and he immediately said: "It doesn't matter if you don't like it. Do you want to practice the three swords of Abi? I can teach you!"

Hearing this, Zhang Miao felt moved. This Abi Three Swordsman is one of the most powerful magical powers of the Yehuo Honglian Temple. It was born out of Ksitigarbha's "Ksitigarbha Sutra". Although Ksitigarbha is not called a Buddha, he has the power of a Buddha. He could not become a Buddha because of the great vow he made.

This Buddha-level strong man guarded the hell, created the magical power of Abi Sandao, and was known as the number one in killing evil spirits and heretics. Who doesn’t want to practice this magical power?

However, disciples like Zhang Miao have no access to the Ksitigarbha Sutra. This sutra is difficult to understand, and usually only monks who specialize in Buddhism are qualified to learn it. Ordinary disciples in the temple will be punished if they get the Ksitigarbha Sutra.

Seeing Zhang Miao's agitated expression, the devil immediately said: "I really know how to use the three swords of Ah Bi. I was imprisoned here because I learned the three swords of Ah Bi without permission. In fact, I am not a devil. Look at me. I Not even a trace of demonic energy!”

After saying this, the monk released a Buddha light all over his body. The light was white, translucent and clean, and there really was no evil spirit at all.

"Really, right? I was wronged. Someone saw me unhappy and that's why I was left here. If you are willing to do something for me, I can give you the three swords of Ah Bi!" the man said immediately.

Zhang Miao is not a three-year-old child, so she can't be convinced by these few words. He wanted to say something else, but suddenly a cold voice sounded: "Junior brother, why did you stay there for so long?"

The sound came from far away. As soon as Zhang Miao heard it, he immediately put on the iron mask and started to move immediately. This voice came from Master Jingzeng, the strongest monk guarding Zhenmo Cave. Master Jingzeng is a great monk who is equivalent to the Hedao realm. His spiritual thoughts penetrate the entire Demon Suppressing Cave. If anything goes wrong with other guards, he will immediately warn them. With such a powerful person here, the Demon Suppressing Cave is also impregnable.

Zhang Miao did not dare to linger here. After he left in a hurry, the demon was not disappointed. Instead, he smiled slightly. He understood that what he said today had been imprinted on the young monk's heart. The young monk could not resist the attraction of Ah Bi's three swords, so he would naturally look for opportunities to come over.

After Zhang Miao left, a voice continued to come over.

"Lian Zhen, please come to my place."

This voice belonged to Master Jingzeng. Zhang Miao did not dare to neglect and rushed to him immediately.

Master Jingzin is an old monk with a white face and no beard. He looks very old. His body is covered with age spots and his skin is very sagging. He doesn't look like an eminent monk at all, but like a dying old man.

"Master, are you calling me?" Seeing Jing Zeng, Zhang Miao immediately saluted and greeted him.

Jingzeng didn't even raise his eyebrows. He said calmly: "You are new to the guard, and I have never spoken to you. I will give you a few words today. The people imprisoned here are all demons, and demons are best at bewitching. He is best at pulling people into the devil's path. You must not listen to what the devil says and ruin your own cultivation. If you fall into the devil's path, I will not show mercy."

Zhang Miao was shocked when he heard this. Apparently, he discovered that Zhang Miao was communicating with the demon just now. At this moment, Zhang Miao was sweating profusely, and he immediately said: "Disciple knows, thank you, Master, for reminding me!"
