Feather Emperor

Chapter 308 Zen Machine
The abbot didn't dare to neglect Leng Bingyan, and when he knew she was a cultivator, he happily took her to the back of the Thousand Buddha Hall, surrounded by green water, and a deep valley appeared in front of Bingyan.

The festival is steep and dark, the mouth invades the green mountains, the green peaks are towering, and the coils are as powerful as dragons. It is unexpected that there is such a scene.Under Leng Bingyan's calm expression, he was still amazed by the elegance of the environment here.wrong!This place is by no means as simple as the elegant environment, and I think the mystery has not been discovered by myself.

The abbot nodded and smiled, walked to the front, stretched out his hand and brushed it, a trace of Buddha power overflowed from his palm, and suddenly the world began to shake, countless Sanskrit characters appeared from the stone wall and green pine, it turned out to be the secret formation of Buddhism !Leng Bingyan was greatly surprised, and at the same time began to look forward to where the so-called Inner Shaolin is.

Spots on the branches, the sound of the wind on the luxuriant leaves, and the sound of the wind, a ring of pulsators spread out, the white light was dazzling, and Leng Bingyan had to cover her eyes with her hands. After a while, she found that the surrounding movements calmed down.Withdrawing my hand, I found myself in another place, surrounded by stone railings, surrounded by thick green leaves, Buddha statues of different sizes standing in the middle of the rock wall surrounded by greenery, exposed through the green vines and tree gaps. In front of Bingyan.

This is inner Shaolin?Yes, it must be. Compared with the outside, this place is a bit more sacred and Buddhist. If it is not Inner Shaolin, what kind of place is it?

The abbot's forehead wrinkles like a knife stretched out, and he said politely to Leng Bingyan: "Daoist friends have come from a long way, please come with me to meet the abbot of Nei Shaolin..."

Leng Bingyan nodded, and followed the abbot in this strange place.She released her consciousness, and found that the spirit of the fairy spirit was actually hindered in this inner Shaolin, and even the speed of her consciousness slowed down a bit.Fortunately, the speed of spiritual consciousness is extremely fast. In the time it took to turn the breath, Leng Bingyan covered the entire space where Inner Shaolin was with spiritual consciousness.

This space is quite large, about half the size of the entire earth's cultivation world. There are many monks in it, the number is about [-]. To her delight, she found that all the monks here are Buddhist practitioners.Most of the realms are in the three low-level stages of Shanti, Shravaka, and Yicheng, and occasionally there are masters above Buddha Wisdom and Bodhi.

This is understandable, just like the cultivation world, there are quite a few people in the cultivation world, but most of them are on the edge of the threshold of cultivation, and not many people have reached the Nascent Soul stage.

Moreover, the difficulty of cultivating Buddhism is far more difficult than that of comprehension. Cultivators need to experience tribulations and ninety-nine disasters to practice. There are many dangers when going through the catastrophe, and the safety factor of Buddhist practitioners is higher than that of comprehension. The reason why it is said to be difficult is that It is because the cultivation of Buddha itself requires extremely high awareness and perseverance of the practitioners, and the speed of cultivation is generally much lower than that of practitioners.

There is no lack of masters in this Inner Shaolin, as Leng Bingyan has noticed, there are a lot of masters in the Inner Shaolin in the realms of Wu Nian, Hinayana, and Yuanjue, and there are also a few masters in the two realms of Kongji and Transcending Tribulation. What surprised Leng Bingyan even more was that there is actually a super master in the extreme realm hidden in Shaolin, which is equivalent to the Mahayana realm of a cultivator. , it is hard to guarantee that it is the kind of old monster who has cultivated for thousands of years!

It really is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!Leng Bingyan sighed sincerely, let's just say that the number of Buddhist cultivators is not as high as that of cultivators, but the overall strength is almost the same. Except for Penglai Xiandao, perhaps the biggest power in the east is the Inner Shaolin .

So where did the Buddhist practitioners who were supposed to ascend to the Buddhist realm go?Leng Bingyan thought suspiciously, maybe... there is also an existence similar to Penglai Xiandao.

In the Inner Shaolin, the Sanskrit sounds and the sounds of the Buddhist practitioners were constantly ringing in my ears. Under the leadership of the abbot, Leng Bingyan soon saw the abbot on a cliff in the Inner Shaolin!
It was an old monk with white beard and white eyebrows, and one could tell from his face that he must be the kind of person who had lived countless years.The realm has reached the late stage of emptiness, which is equivalent to the late stage of fusion for a cultivator.This host is not the most powerful existence in Shaolin, but to manage such a huge monastery, the ability and prestige must be not small, and there are several real strong people hidden behind him!

However, Leng Bingyan guessed that the inner Shaolin disciples probably didn't know that there were masters stronger than the abbot in their monastery, and the secret at the bottom of the box was definitely known only by a few people in power!
The abbot may have great power outside Shaolin, but at this moment he can only be regarded as a young man. He bowed to the abbot with white beard, and said: "This is a guest from afar, and he said he wants to see the abbot..."

The abbot with a white beard flicked his hands, indicating that he would let the abbot retreat after he knew it, leaving only him and Leng Bingyan on the cliff for a while.

Bingyan looked at it, and under the cliff is the Thousand Buddha Hall in Inner Shaolin, which is hundreds of feet high, and there is a huge stone tablet in front of the cliff, with countless names written on it, and their dates of birth and death , glanced and found that they were all the names of the abbots of Shaolin.

Can't help but take a breath, this Shaolin really has a long history!There are so many abbots alone, one abbot has been in power for at least a thousand years, and the sum of years is astronomical!

"Alas..." the white-bearded abbot Kong sighed, "Forget it, the old monk can't see through Your Excellency."

Hearing this, Leng Bingyan knew that his realm had not been seen through by Abbot Baixu, so he smiled slightly: "So what if you can't see through it?"

Abbot Baixu's eyes lit up, he nodded and said: "Your Excellency's words are absolutely true!" He said with palms together: "I ascended the wind horse, not to beg for blessings, but to guard Your Excellency."

"You know I'm coming?" Leng Bingyan asked in surprise.

Abbot Baixu said: "All the Buddhas and Tathagatas preached the Dharma, speaking of existence in nothingness, like seeing empty flowers, whether there is something or nothing. The Zen school only asks for a word of nothingness, and the old monk has figured it out."

"Then do you know what I'm here for?"

Abbot Baixu shook his head, and said: "Canghai, Wushan, I'm too lazy to look back, and I only want to practice Zen for a while. Why you came here, the Buddha can't tell the old monk."

"Didn't it say that Buddhism is boundless? Buddhists say that there is no one in the world who cannot be crossed, and they practice Zen for the sake of crossing the world?"

Abbot Baibeard shook his head again: "It's all illusory! It's empty!"

"Beyond the sea, there is the sea, and there are mountains beyond Wushan. If you only care about meditation, what is the purpose of practicing Buddhism? For strength, or for a moment of peace in floating life?"

"The mountains outside the mountains are full of swords, and the seas outside the sea are seas of fire. Bow your head to the Buddha, for strength and peace!" Abbot Baixu said, "Only by obtaining the Buddhadharma can more people pass through, and only by maintaining a peaceful state of mind can they make correct judgments. The Buddha is just the justice in the heart, everyone has a Buddha in his heart! Ascension to become a Buddha is not for longevity, but for the safety and joy of others.”

"It's great, but it's also empty!" Leng Bingyan said softly, her eyes were sharp, and she knew that there are no less than ten thousand Buddha statues in Shaolin, and said: "Since the Buddha is empty, why make so many Buddha statues?" ?Give them an image that they shouldn't have, is it misinterpreting the existence of Buddha and misleading others?"

"No, the purpose of making Buddha statues is to guide and persuade people to be good!"

"Is it hypnosis, suggestion?"

"It's empty!"

"..."

……

Leng Bingyan settled down in Shaolin, and chatted with Abbot Baixu in the afternoon. She felt that people who practice Buddhism are very wise, at least they made her dizzy, and then she was defeated.

The abbot of Baixu, named Duxin, is the No. 80 seven abbots of Inner Shaolin.After learning that Leng Bingyan was entrusted by the great elder of the Buddhist world to teach the secret treasure of Buddhism, he couldn't help crying with joy, and made Bingyan a guest of Shaolin.

The world of Buddhism, a distant and almost ethereal existence, the Buddhist cultivators on the earth only know its existence, but no one has ascended...

Speaking of it, Buddhist practitioners have not abandoned all their obsessions, emptiness, just expectations, not reality...
