Journey to the West: The Rise of Martial Arts

Chapter 48 Heavenly Tribulation Comes
Qianxun valley, foggy and cloudy.

Ren Qinglian stands on the rock, her clothes fluttering in the wind, and she looks back after a long time.

The valley is located between the two swords, looking from a distance, it seems that Mo Xie, a general, is facing each other.

There are waterfalls and springs in the valley, spraying beads and splashing snow.

The sound of monkeys playing could be faintly heard from the depths.

Ren Qinglian jumped up, like a handsome falcon touching the sky, and went straight to the direction of Houerjiu.

……

But above the Lotus Temple, there was thunder and lightning.

The two Yu Wentian who had just left the temple couldn't help but turn around and look, their eyes were full of horror.

"Come on, Master Lotus is about to break through to land gods!"

The big bearded man looked at Lei Jie in the sky with a worried expression on his face.

If this is the case, Master Fei Hongzi is asking for trouble in this post.

Thinking about it, the thunder has already struck down.

……

One drink and one peck, there is a fixed number.

After the monk established the foundation, he began the journey of transformation, a journey against the sky and death!
In this process, it will naturally owe a great cause and effect to heaven and earth.

Therefore, if you want to practice and prove the Tao, you must have a calamity test.

As for the so-called "three calamities and five calamities" encountered on the way of practice, in addition to the various calamities caused by the cause and effect of the world of mortals, the most important calamity is the test of the heavenly calamity brought about by the operation of the law of heaven.

There are strong and weak Heavenly Tribulations. Generally speaking, those monks who have merit to the world mean that they will pass it in one go.

Like the descendants of the Sanqing, there are sects to suppress luck, and Taoism to protect the body. Generally, if you don’t get tainted with karma, you are basically fine.

But like demons and demon cultivators, because the karma of their body is too huge, if there is no one to protect them, if they encounter a catastrophe, the eighth floor will have to break their reincarnation and reincarnate to rebuild.

The nameless monk in the Lotus Temple reversed the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Kungfu and left his remnant soul under the hall with the aid of the Mira Illusion Formation. He successfully escaped the seduction of the ghost and lived for hundreds of years.

Over the past hundred years, although the old monk has lost his physical body, he has made great progress in understanding Buddhism, breaking through the original state of meditation, and achieving the pinnacle of the relic state.

If we compare it with the realm of Taoist cultivation, this meditation state is the foundation building state, and the relic state is the alchemy state, which is the so-called land gods.

In addition, there are lotus platform, golden body and Mahayana realms in Buddhist practice, which correspond to Yuanying (Hua Shen), Zhenxian, and Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian respectively.

And the so-called monks, arhats, and bodhisattvas are just further subdivisions of the Buddha's practice in the Golden Body Realm.

In the bitterly cold place of Tubo, the Mira Illusory Formation has been operating for hundreds of years, and it has reached its limit.These days, the fan monk vaguely felt that his time was approaching, and he was always disheartened.

Now that she meets Ren Qinglian, she feels that her mantle has been passed on, and she is satisfied, so she mobilizes the power of the phantom array and uses her magical powers to send Ren Qinglian to the Monkey King Valley in Liangjie Mountain.

But because of this, he revealed his aura of cultivation in advance, and was targeted by the Thunderbolt of Heavenly Tribulation.

However, with the old monk's current state of remnant soul, he is afraid that he will be bombarded and killed by Lei Jie before the ghost messengers from the Nether world can find him.

Fortunately, he has no regrets and can die calmly!

Before the thunder shot down, the relic had already shot up from under the hall.

His soul is in this relic, if he collides with that thunder, he will be wiped out in ashes.

But at this moment, a golden light rushed over, blocking the relic.

The unknown monk could see clearly in the relic that the golden light was actually a bird's nest with a flash of mysterious light, and there was an old Zen master sitting firmly on it!
There was no movement of the Zen master, as if an invisible force blocked the thunder in the sky.

In the distance, Yu Wentian and the two could only see the thunderbolt falling continuously, waiting for the catastrophe to dissipate, and a golden energy was thrown downward.

The two of them were completely sure that Master Lotus must have broken through to the realm of land gods, and they immediately returned to Kongtong Mountain with a worried look on their faces.

The golden energy is actually just the remaining energy in the calamity cloud. After the monks have passed the catastrophe, the Heavenly Dao will feed back this part of the power to the monks who have successfully survived the catastrophe.

This is also a sign of whether the monk has successfully survived the catastrophe.

But Yu Wentian and the others didn't know that at this moment, Master Lotus was also looking at the Buddha's light relics and the golden light bird's nest floating above the hall with a look of surprise and uncertainty.

The disciples in the monastery have already blown the pot, and you talk about your own guesses.

The five children of the secret sect all looked dignified, and followed Master Lianhua to perform lightness kung fu to the roof of the main hall, and bowed to the two supernatural beings in the air.

The old Zen master in the bird's nest smiled lightly, motioning them not to disturb, and said in his mouth: "Om Nanmo... Pogowad... Safdurgeti..."

This is the scripture in the Sanskrit Great Sun Tathagata's Purification Mantra. Master Lianhua can naturally hear the mystery in it, and immerse himself in his own understanding for a while.

The old monk in the relic was even more profound. With the help of the golden light from the sky, he not only broke through the realm of the lotus platform in one fell swoop, but also re-condensed a dharma body with the help of the power of heaven and earth.

Soon, all the golden light from the thunder calamity dissipated.

The old monk was reborn from Nirvana, looked at the old Zen master in the void, bowed slightly, and called the Buddha's name.

Master Lianhua woke up from the scriptures, saw the old monk's real face, opened his mouth wide for a moment, and shouted in horror: "Venerable Dragon Elephant!"

At the same time, the five children from the secret sect also recognized that the fan monk in front of them was exactly the same as the Venerable Dragon Elephant hanging in the ancestral hall, and they were all shocked from ear to ear.

The old monk traveled to Nanbuzhou in the past, and he made his name with the Dragon Elephant Prajna Kungfu, and was called the Dragon Elephant Venerable by his later disciples.But it is said that he escaped from his body and flew away a hundred years ago, and is no longer in the mortal world.

The old monk nodded slightly, and thanked the Zen master on the bird's nest: "Think of Zen master's life-saving grace, dare to ask Zen master's name!"

"You just call me Zen Master Wuchao!"

The Zen master said, pointing to the void under his feet, and said with a smile: "It seems that someone has come to the door!"

Venerable Dragon Elephant also looked towards the void and nodded: "The poor monk has concealed the secrets and lived for a hundred years. It is time to pay back the karma."

But Zen Master Wuchao shook his head and said with a smile: "Since you have attained the Dharma of the Lotus Platform, you are my Buddhist venerable and should not be under their control!"

As he said that, he waved lightly, and a golden light shrouded it.

Everyone in the Lotus Temple saw two ghost messengers dragging chains suddenly appear on the ground, they were the bull-headed horse-faced men who had been pursued from the underworld.

When those two people saw the Zen master on the bird's nest, they immediately shivered slightly: "I don't know if it is the Zen master Wuchao from Futu Mountain, please forgive me!" Then they said to Venerable Long Xiang: "Please also ask the Venerable to follow me two Let's go to the Nether Hell..."

As he said that, the black light of the chains in the hands of the two of them bloomed, and they were about to let go of the old monk.

Zen Master Wuchao saw it and said with a smile: "The Venerable Dragon Elephant received the Buddha's decree to find a destined person for the first time. Now that his merits and virtues have been completed, it is time to return to the Vajra Realm."

The bull's head and the horse's face looked at each other, and they didn't dare to have any doubts at the moment. They left sullenly and disappeared in front of everyone in a wisp of black air.

Venerable Long Xiang was stunned, and murmured: "The Buddha's decree?"

Zen Master Wuchao smiled, and a phantom of Buddha appeared behind him, with the fist seal of wisdom in his hands, the crown of five Buddhas on his head, and the wonderful heavenly clothes.

Zen sounds filled the air, and the monks in the temple worshiped together, and the Buddha's name spread far and wide.

Venerable Dragon Elephant's originally puzzled eyes became calm

……

Liangjie Mountain, Wuming Valley, Ren Qinglian suddenly felt something, looked in the direction of the Lotus Temple suspiciously, shook her head again, and continued to drill towards the monkey wine place.
