The Alternative Way of Enlightenment

Chapter 2 Obtaining Two Buddhist Artifacts
Gradually, everyone's tense nerves finally relaxed and they began to look around in groups.

The surrounding walls are carved with some legendary beasts, including the ferocious nine-headed bird, the Qiongqi covered with huge thorns, etc., each of them has a hideous face that is daunting.

Perhaps it was because of his rebirth, with the souls of two lives superimposed, Liu Shan's mind became much clearer. His memory and comprehension had improved in the past two years. He easily recorded the star map on the wall, waiting to use it when he returned to Earth after successful cultivation.

There is also a small coffin placed in the middle of this coffin. Liu Shan knows that this three-life bronze coffin is the most powerful treasure in the entire trilogy of Shading the Heaven. It runs through the entire timeline and seals the semi-immortal realm evolved by Emperor Huang Tian, ​​which is more powerful than the urn of Emperor Chu Tian in later generations.

Liu Shan silently watched his classmates discussing the monsters on the wall and the small coffin in the middle. He sighed helplessly in his heart, because he knew that among the twenty or so classmates, only less than half survived.

But he was helpless. He was very cautious now, not daring to move or speak. Who knew if the ruthless emperor had his eyes on this place?

Even though the ruthless emperor was whitewashed later, Chen Dong was prepared to treat her as the final boss in the early stage. Even if she was whitewashed in the later stage, she was only good to Ye Fan, and other people were just ants to her. When she became an emperor, she swallowed up the young generation of the entire era.

Not long after, the bronze coffin suddenly shook violently and everyone fell to the ground.

A loud bang rang in everyone's ears, and then the coffin lid slowly opened, revealing a faint light.

After seeing the light, everyone cheered, got up, and rushed towards the light, trying to escape from the dark coffin.

But when everyone rushed out, they were all stunned by the scene before them. It was a desolate scene, the ground seemed to be stained with blood, the light was dim, and there was no life.

Everyone was stunned. They were clearly on the top of Mount Tai before. Where was this place now? It was dead silent, with no sign of life. This was definitely not Mount Tai!
Liu Shan climbed onto a huge rock and began to look around, looking for the direction of the Great Leiyin Temple.

Suddenly Ye Fan's voice came, "Look, there are words on that boulder."

When everyone heard this, they gathered around.

"It seems to be a bronze inscription," someone said.

"Does anyone know him?"
"It's a bronze inscription, and it says Mars," Liu Shan walked over.

"Mars? The flickering light and the confusing chaos? Isn't that the legendary Mars?" Ye Fan asked.

Everyone was extremely shocked. Mars? In the sky? Everyone looked up at the sky and found two moons hanging in the dark sky. Sure enough, this was no longer the Earth. Everyone felt desperate and climbed the mountain to Mars.

Then, Liu Shan said to everyone, "Just now I was on the boulder and saw a little faint light ahead. Do you want to go look for it together?"

Everyone was silent. Was it too risky to run around in an unknown place? Liu Shan ignored everyone and pulled Ye Fan and Pang Bo towards the light. The others followed them one by one, not knowing what they had discussed.

Liu Shan thought excitedly as he walked, "In the original Leiyin Temple, there are many treasures left by Sakyamuni to suppress the Crocodile Ancestor. I must take a few more, so that I can use them to save my life when I go to Beidou in the future."

From a distance it looked like a magnificent palace, but when the three of them got closer they discovered that it was actually a huge ruin, with the light at the end of the ruins.

Pangbo exclaimed, "Is this really Mars? Is there such a large area of ​​ruined palaces on Earth that I have never heard of?"

Ye Fan: "You've seen the dragon corpse, is it strange to go to Mars?"

The three of them gradually walked to the end of the ruins, and what came into view was an ancient temple.

It is full of ancient charm, which makes people feel relaxed and comfortable. It also calms down the chaotic thoughts, as if the Buddhist chanting is ringing in the ears.

In front of the ancient temple, there was an old tree with dense branches but dry body. Liu Shan knew that this was the ancient Bodhi tree in the immortal elixir, and there were Bodhi seeds buried under the tree.

In the original text, the golden finger that Sakyamuni left for Ye Fan did not belong to him.

Although there was no hope for the Bodhi seed, there was still a branch with vitality on the ancient tree, with six green leaves on it, crystal clear and like jasper.

Liu Shan walked forward and broke off the branch, put it in his arms, and put the leaves in his pocket.

The people following behind also slowly came over, and at this time Ye Fan also secretly put something into his pocket. It should be the species of the Bodhi tree - Bodhi seeds.

Seeing that everyone had followed, Liu Shan hinted to Ye Fan and Pang Bo to quickly enter the temple.

After entering the temple, Liu Shan said to the two men, "Let's split up and look around to see if there is anything that can save our lives or protect us." Then, Liu Shan found a string of Buddhist beads in the dust on the incense table, and found half a vajra on the other side of the golden body of the Buddha.

Everyone came in and saw the three people looking for something. They also scattered and looked for their own opportunities.

Ye Fan found a bronze lamp and then stopped looking.

Pangbo had clearly come in very early, but he didn't find anything. Perhaps it was because of his great demon bloodline that he had no chance to obtain anything from Buddhism.

Liu Shan shook his head helplessly, pulled Pangbo to the door, pointed above his head, smiled, and said, "This thing is still suitable for you."

Pangbo understood, and then he moved a few stones, stood on tiptoe, and took down the bronze plaque of the temple in front of everyone's surprised eyes. The bronze plaque was covered with dust, and Pangbo didn't wipe it, but waved it to blow away the dust.

What a warrior! He waved such a big plaque as light as the wind. Liu Shan looked at Pang Bo and was amazed.

"Da Leiyin Temple" Ye Fan looked at the words written on the bronze plaque and read them out loud softly.

"Is this the place where the legendary Buddha is?" Liu Shan pretended to ask.

Ye Fan shook his head and said nothing, just looking at the bronze plaque solemnly.

Everyone searched the ancient temple, some found Buddhist artifacts, and some did not.

Liu Shan felt that it was about time, so he said loudly to everyone, "This is the Great Leiyin Temple. According to legend, the Great Leiyin Temple is where the Buddha suppressed demons. This place is ominous. Everyone has found some Buddhist instruments to protect themselves, so let's leave early."

After hearing this, everyone felt a little uneasy. They all thought it would be better to stay beside the ancient bronze coffin and wait for rescue, so they prepared to go back.

As soon as the crowd walked out of the ancient temple, they heard a loud bang, and the giant Buddha in the ancient temple began to collapse, and then the ancient temple turned into ashes with a loud noise.

"Run!" Liu Shan shouted loudly.

At the same time, the ancient Bodhi tree turned into ashes along with the ancient temple. There was no sawdust or dead branches left. Everything was blown away by the wind and turned into ashes.

Everyone was running as fast as they could. Liu Shan knew that this was a race against life. The Great Leiyin Temple collapsed, and the crocodile ancestor below was unsealed. But the scary thing was not the crocodile ancestor, but the little crocodile.

In the original text, the only person who actually died at the hands of the Crocodile Ancestor was Li Xiaoman. She died after being parasitized by the Crocodile Ancestor and having lived in Beidou for a long time. Most people died at the hands of little crocodiles.

"Monsters are attacking us."

When they were halfway through the run, several classmates suddenly fell down. There was a small thumb-sized hole on their forehead, blood and brain matter spurting out, and their faces were painful and hideous.

Some students were so scared when they saw the scene that they screamed.

Liu Shan shouted, "Keep running. The Buddhist weapons in your hands can protect you and hurt these monsters. Students who have Buddhist weapons to protect themselves, please help those who don't have them."

A group of people ran away while shouting. Faced with the life-and-death crisis, some students who did not have Buddhist instruments no longer cared about their friendship and started to snatch them.

Liu Yunzhi stared at the vajra in Liu Shan's hand, and while trying to take it back, he said, "You still have a string of Buddhist beads, lend this to me first."

Liu Shan was not going to tolerate him. In front of life, no one can stand in my way. A vajra came over and hit him in the face, making him stagger.

Seeing how ruthless Liu Shan was, Liu Yunzhi didn't dare to attack again. After glaring at Liu Shan fiercely, he ran to other classmates.

Liu Shan didn't want to care about him anymore, and continued to run while protecting the female classmates beside him. But in his heart, he was thinking: "He is dying, and he still wants to take advantage of me. I will kill him when I find a chance."

Ye Fan and Pang Bo were both robbed by some male classmates, but both of them were strong and no one could defeat them.

Everyone was fleeing from the pursuit of this little divine crocodile.
