I have a heavenly book of merit and virtue

Chapter 328: The method of breaking through the martial arts and seeing the gods! (Subscribe)

"Can you see me?"

Chen Yan was surprised.

This time it was the turn of the old monk opposite to look at Chen Yan with a puzzled look:
"What are you talking about, brother? You are not invisible, so I can see you, brother."

Chen Yan was choked for a moment, then pointed at the monks coming and going around:
"Then how did they..."

Chen Yan had just said half of his words when he saw the monks coming and going, all of them bowing respectfully as if they had just seen him, and then continuing on their way.

Seeing this scene, Chen Yan frowned deeply.

There is no doubt that all this was caused by the relic.

At first he felt that no one could see him, until the old monk called him just now, and then he truly "entered the world".

"So... it was those three bells?"

There was a hint of contemplation in Chen Yan's eyes. It was just like a game. The three bells just now were like the horn of opening. Only after the bells rang did Chen Yan truly integrate into this "world".

"Senior brother? Senior brother?"

At this moment, the old monk opposite saw that Chen Yan was in deep thought and had not replied for a long time. His face became more confused and he shouted twice in succession.

"Ah? Oh, sorry, I was distracted just now."

Chen Yan quickly came to his senses and said apologetically.

"Brother, you seem to be a little distracted lately. Is there something on your mind? Are you worried about that?"

The old monk looked at Chen Yan worriedly and asked.

That thing?

what's up?

Chen Yan's heart moved, but he shook his head:
"It's okay. What did you ask just now, Junior Brother?"

The worry in the old monk's eyes did not diminish, but he still asked again honestly:
"Brother, aren't you going to set off?"

Departure?

What journey to start?

Where are you going?

Chen Yan’s mind was full of question marks. He was just a fake monk, so how would he know where to go?

Although he didn't know what the old monk was talking about, Chen Yan was not panicked at all. His heart was very stable, and his face was even more stable. He answered calmly:
"After all, we need to prepare more. There is no need to rush for a day or two."

"That's right. The birthday of the Dragon King of the River is on June 6th in summer, which is more than half a month away. With your speed, it won't matter if you're a few days late."

The old monk nodded, but he was a little worried:

"Teacher, you know that you have a strong temper, so why did you ask you to celebrate the birthday of Zhujiang Dragon King?"

Zhujiang Dragon King?

Chen Yan narrowed his eyes.

He knew immediately that there were real dragons and even real phoenixes in this world, and he had even encountered one himself. Although it was only a drop of real phoenix blood, if this drop of nirvana real phoenix blood was given time, perhaps within a thousand years, a real phoenix would be born.

Not to mention that the bloodline of wealth is also related to the ancient vicious beast Qiongqi.

Speaking of getting rich, since the third blood moon came in the underworld, Fa Cai has fallen into a deep sleep again.

For some unknown reason, over the years, Fa Cai's periods of slumber have become more and more frequent and longer.

But Chen Yan couldn't figure out anything and could only worry more.

The only thing that made Chen Yan feel a little relieved was that at least Fa Cai's vital breath was still normal. He didn't look weak, but he was becoming more and more "sleepy".

Chen Yan wanted to wait until he met the Yangshen Zhenjun Wuchen Zhenjun of the Tianji Pavilion and ask him what it meant to make a fortune.

Putting the matter of getting rich aside for the moment, Chen Yan turned his attention back to the present.

Chen Yan was able to get two pieces of information from the old monk's words.

One is that Chen Yan seems to be participating in the birthday banquet of the "Zhujiang Dragon King" on behalf of Buddhism, and the other is that he learned from an old monk that he seems to have a master in this "world".

Well, there is one piece of information that is not really information, that is, the monk he is playing now seems to have a bad temper.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan's heart moved slightly...

Could his master be Bodhidharma?

Chen Yan felt that the possibility was quite high.

As I was thinking this, I heard the old monk opposite me hurriedly say:

"Brother, please don't be angry. I just spoke too quickly."

Chen Chenyan remained silent. The old monk quickly apologized, and seemed a little afraid, and changed the subject:

"When will you set off, brother?"

"Not urgent."

Chen Yan shook his head.

Naturally, he was not in a hurry. At least, he had to break through his martial arts to the level of seeing gods first.

The monk he is playing now seems to be of a very high status. Don’t you see that even the old monk who looks so old calls him senior brother?
Apart from anything else, the person Chen Yan is playing at the moment must be of a very high seniority.

And Chen Yan also discovered a key point.

That is, after he "traveled" to this world, his Taoist practice seemed to be "sealed".

It seems that magic power cannot be used in this world, but the practice of martial arts will not be restricted.

It seems that this "world" is a simple "martial arts world".

I don't know how far the martial arts of this world have developed...

Thinking of this, Chen Yan suddenly asked the old monk opposite him:

"Junior brother, please take me to the Sutra Library."

"Tibetan Scripture Pavilion?"

The old monk was stunned, and then asked in confusion:
"What are you going to do in the Sutra Library?"

Chen Yan smiled slightly, already having a plan in mind, and opened his mouth to explain:

"I have been confused lately, and I need to look through some of my collection of books to find the answer to my puzzlement."

"Then why don't you just go and ask the teacher directly?"

The old monk asked in confusion.

"If I ask the teacher everything, won't the teacher be annoyed to death by us?"

Chen Yan replied calmly.

The old monk nodded and said, "That's true."

After saying that, he immediately asked suspiciously:
"Then why don't you just go to the Sutra Library by yourself, why should I go there?"

"Are you the senior brother or am I the senior brother? Why are you asking so many questions? Go ahead and lead the way!"

Chen Yan glared and urged impatiently.

He was not afraid that the old monk would notice anything. After all, the monk he played had a bad temper. Instead, Chen Yan needed to behave and speak more in accordance with his identity.

When he saw Chen Yan rising, the old monk immediately shrank back, shrank his neck, and said:

"Brother, please come with me."

As he said this, he led the way in front.

Chen Yan followed the old monk and turned left and right, passing one Zen temple after another along the bluestone paved ground, and finally stopped in front of a three-story exquisite attic. In front of the eaves of the exquisite attic hung a plaque with three gilded seal characters written in a dragon-like and phoenix-like style - Sutra Repository!

"Brother, we're here."

The old monk stopped in front of the Sutra Repository, turned around and said to Chen Yan.

Chen Yan nodded with satisfaction and nodded slightly:

"Okay, Junior Brother, you go first."

The old monk glanced at Chen Yan, seeming to want to say something, but in the end he said nothing, sighed, and turned away.

Chen Yan silently said sorry in his heart, then walked towards the Sutra Library with his head held high.

At this moment, no one was coming in or out of the Sutra Library, and it seemed that now was not the right time to borrow books.

Chen Yan hesitated for a moment and wanted to turn around and ask the old monk again, but then he thought that asking this question would be too revealing. Secondly, with the temperament of the monk played by Chen Yan, even if there really was a world of reading in the Sutra Library, the original owner would probably not care.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan put aside what was in his mind and walked in with a swagger.

But before Chen Yan could step in, a lazy voice sounded in Chen Yan's ears:

"Shi Kong, are you bullying Shi Wen again?"

Chen Yan was startled and immediately looked towards the source of the sound.

At some point, an old monk with eyes closed and a face as old as a wrinkled chrysanthemum appeared less than three meters behind him!

At such a close distance, if the old monk wanted to launch a sneak attack, Chen Yan wouldn't even be able to react in time!

Chen Yan was horrified and shocked, because you have to know that Chen Yan is a genuine Yin Shen realm cultivator.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if one had reached the great perfection of Yin Shen Jiu Lian, it would be absolutely impossible for him to get three meters close to Chen Yan so stealthily.

But the old monk in front of him did it easily...

So, this old monk is at least a strong man at the level of Yangshen Zhenjun?
Chen Yan's mind was full of thoughts.

At this moment, he finally knew his Buddhist name - Shikong.

The Shi Wen mentioned by the old monk was actually the junior fellow apprentice who had just communicated with Chen Yan.

Although his mind was full of thoughts, Chen Yan remained expressionless:
"My brother Shi Wen and I are good friends and respectful to each other. How can you bully me?"

"Are you still being friendly and respectful to your brothers?"

The old monk looked at Chen Yan mockingly and sneered:
"If it were anyone else, I would believe it, but you, Shikong..."

Having said this, the old monk did not continue speaking, but what he wanted to express was that if you do not take things seriously, you will heal yourself.

Chen Yan's face suddenly turned dark.

The old monk seemed to be completely unconcerned about Chen Yan's expression, and then he said lazily:

"Why, how come you have time to come to the Sutra Library today? Didn't Brother Damo arrange for you to attend that damn Dragon King birthday banquet? Why haven't you gone yet? If you go late, even if you are Brother Damo's favorite disciple, I'm afraid you will be punished."

The master of the monk he played was indeed Bodhidharma!

Chen Yan's heart moved, his mind was spinning rapidly, but he said slowly:
"I still have some questions in my cultivation, so I need to look up some scriptures."

"It turns out that there are things you don't understand. I thought you were born to be a martial artist!"

The old monk seemed to enjoy mocking the monk played by Chen Yan very much. He would criticize him whenever he got the chance and would never miss any opportunity to criticize Chen Yan.

Chen Yan rolled his eyes and was too lazy to say anything else.

The old monk didn't care, and waved his hand like he was shooing away a fly:

"Go, go, don't disturb my leisure. Just leave as soon as you're done. If you're late for the Dragon King's birthday banquet, you'll be in trouble."

It was you who stopped me, okay!

Chen Yan rolled his eyes wildly.

He finally understood why the monk he played had such a hot temper.

With such a nagging uncle who is always complaining about everything, it would be a miracle if he could have a good temper.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan walked towards the interior of the Sutra Repository.

At this moment, the old monk's faint voice suddenly came to my ears:

"I guess you want to find the secret to the Vajra Indestructible Body, but my brother must have told you long ago that it is impossible to achieve the Vajra Indestructible Body without seeing the gods. You are so obsessed with achieving the Vajra Indestructible Body. It would be better for you to see the gods as soon as possible. When that time comes, everything will fall into place naturally."

The indestructible body of Vajra...

Chen Yan's heart was filled with a little ripple, but he waved his hand impatiently:
"Okay, okay, I get it, stop nagging."

After saying this, he walked towards the depths of the Sutra Library without looking back.

Soon, Chen Yan was attracted by the dazzling collection of books.

There are many bookcases in the Sutra Repository, but unfortunately, most of them contain Buddhist scriptures and ancient texts. There are not many books about martial arts. The occasional ones are only about mediocre and low-level martial arts.

It seems that the real secret book of the Zen temple is not in this scripture library.

But Chen Yan was not in a hurry. He flipped through the book slowly and leisurely. The obscure text did not affect his reading as he was proficient in classical Chinese.

"what?"

Inadvertently, Yang Yu flipped through a yellowed ancient scroll, and saw four large characters written on its title page: "See What God Sees".

"found it."

Chen Yan's face lit up with joy.

As he expected, there were indeed books about martial arts and meeting gods in the Sutra Library.

This also indirectly proves that the martial arts of this "world" go much further than the underworld.

Chen Yan did not stop and immediately opened the page:

"The image of the One Movement circumscribes the universe, rising from the center to become the sky, and descending from the center to become the earth. Nothing rises without descending, and nothing descends without rising..."

Soon, Chen Yan became obsessed with the contents of this book.

Time passed slowly, and when Chen Yan finished reading the last sentence in the book, he was shocked:
"What does it mean to see God? In my opinion, seeing God is seeing oneself."

To see God is to see oneself!
A thousand waves surged in Chen Yan's heart. All of a sudden, countless inspirations seemed to burst out in his mind, but Chen Yan always felt that something was missing.

Then, Chen Yan looked at the end of the collection of books, and saw two seal characters written lightly at the signature - Bodhidharma.

It is indeed Bodhidharma!
Compared to the manual left by Bodhidharma in the netherworld, the content of seeing God in this book, "Seeing What God Sees", is much clearer and more organized.

seem……

The Bodhidharma of the Netherworld is still groping for the way to see the gods through martial arts, but the Bodhidharma of this world has already figured it out thoroughly.

Could it be that the Bodhidharma in this world is the Bodhidharma from the underworld who traveled through time?
Or is it that the Bodhidharma of the two worlds are not the same person?

Chen Yan frowned deeply, unable to guess which one was the truth for a moment.

After thinking for a long time and still couldn't figure it out, Chen Yan shook his head and simply didn't bother to think about it anymore.

No matter what, his primary goal is to break through the martial arts and see the gods.

Now, with the description in this book “Seeing What God Sees”, Chen Yan is no longer confused about seeing God in martial arts.

In other words, even if Chen Yan has not gained anything now, this book "See What God Sees" alone is enough for Chen Yan to break through the martial arts and see God!

When he thought of this, Chen Yan couldn't help but feel excited.

After all, the main purpose of his trip to the White Horse Temple was to break through the martial arts and see the gods.

Although there were twists and turns in the process, the goal was finally achieved!
