Seeking immortality in a deceitful way starts by making oneself into a puppet

He Ping carefully went deep into the crack pit to investigate, and soon he discovered a pile of rubble.

The piles of rubble were scattered over a vast area. With his eyesight, he could detect that this was a piece of broken Qianghuan. Some broken step stones were piled together randomly. It was vaguely visible that this was once the solid foundation of a huge temple. As for that The broken wall should be the main hall of the temple, which is the Main Hall.

"In addition, there is this piece of rubble, which should have been a pagoda, the rubble on the right hand side, which should have been an elephant platform, and the pile of building debris here, which seems to have been a collapsed palace... "

He Ping's thoughts radiated out and he sensed the surroundings. He noticed that on the outside of the foundation of a ruin, there was a faint golden light remaining on the outer wall. On the simple and incomplete stones, there were lotus Sanskrit words remaining, as well as wind-eroded stone carvings, vaguely The statues of gods that can be identified include Shura and King Ming. After a long time, they still have a kind of profound beauty.

This is a kind of precipitation of time, an accumulation of time. He can feel this sense of heaviness. It is like a heavy history in itself, carrying too much.

"I understand, this should be a training ground," suddenly, He Ping murmured.

"In order to build this ancient temple, I'm afraid countless resources were spent. The pagoda and stone huan were even mixed with sapphire, gold and other spiritual materials..."

He closed his eyes slightly, and a vague image of a powerful and magnificent ancient temple appeared in his mind. This ancient temple seems to be a holy place where ancient Buddhas and Bodhisattvas practice their Dharma. This holy place occupies a vast area with numerous pagodas, palaces, sutra pillars and carved pillars.

In its heyday, the ancient temple was built on the mountain. The mountain was bustling with people and a large number of monks lived there. There were maze-like arched corridors, exquisite stone carvings, and eight holy dragon pan pools. The layout of the entire ancient temple was extremely magnificent. Magnificent and beautiful, it is a majestic heavenly palace comparable to the rolling mountains.

He Ping sighed.

"This is the real Jialan Ancient Temple. The "Invisible Secret" should be a fake that uses some means to imitate some traces of that ancient temple. Unfortunately, the fake is still a fake and is not as good as the real Jialan Ancient Temple..."

"Invisible Secrets" does not need to be mysterious. It lies that the great sage Jialan, a direct disciple of the Buddha, opened an ancient temple in southern Xinjiang. This should be true. This ancient temple was indeed founded by the great sage of Buddhism. It is a pity. However, no matter how magnificent the ancient Jialan Temple is, in the face of the passage of time, it will still fly into ashes and turn into a piece of rubble, leaving only the foundation.

He Ping stood silently, sensing with his heart, his powerful Qi swept through every inch of the land, but found nothing.

"That's really weird?"

He Ping was quite puzzled by this.

"If there is nothing here, then why is the "Invisible Secret" hidden here...?"

He penetrated the nine-service Zhu Xuan Qi into the earth. This Qi was very powerful. It escaped into the earth like a fish in water. It went deep into the earth, feet by feet, with almost no resistance.

At the same time, He Ping's mind also saw insects and rats hiding underground. After fifty feet, there were no living creatures, only layers of rocks, water vapor, and even some underground springs and rivers. .

He just drilled down in one breath, and his true energy suddenly penetrated to a depth of more than six or seven hundred feet. At this point, even with his current cultivation level, he felt that there was an obscure aura coming from the earth.

"The earth veins are quite normal. There is indeed a mass of earth evil aura in this place. It belongs to the rare Five Plague Evils... but the quality is not particularly good. It is hard to imagine that the "Invisible Secret" came here specifically for this. of?"

When He Ping was doubtful, a ball of Buddha light suddenly emerged from his body, and from the Buddha light, a small Buddha statue carved in stone flew out.

Buzz…

The Buddha's light suddenly lit up, illuminating a pit of mud for dozens of feet. Suddenly, there was a roar, and a half prayer pillar like a stone tablet slowly rose up from the mud pit.

The stone Buddha began to flutter, and he took the initiative to move closer. Under the soft warm light, one could see the pits on the stone scripture building, and it was unknown how long it had been buried in the mud pit.

"What is this?"

He Ping got closer and found that there was a line of words engraved on the sutra pillar. These lines of words were printed on the sutra pillar and gave off a faint glimmer.

"...What is this, a poem?"

He was very surprised to find that there was a line of poetry engraved on one side of this stone monument-like half prayer building.

"I don't know the Canaan Temple, but it's several miles into the Yunfeng Peak. There are no paths to the ancient trees, and there is no bell in the deep mountains. The sound of the spring swallows dangerous rocks, and the sun is cold and green. The pond is meandering in the sky at dusk, and the Zen is calming the poisonous dragon."

He Ping read this and looked at the last line.

"The relics of Zen Monk Yoshitsune of Shuiyue Zen Monastery, Guan Jialan Patriarch..."

In other words, this verse was left behind by the monk named "Yoshitsune". When he saw this, his heart moved slightly.

"Stone Buddha, what do you mean by guiding me here?"

He asked, but unfortunately the stone Buddha didn't respond. He just suspended in the air and emitted a soft light, illuminating the stone scripture pillar.

"The last time I communicated with the Stone Buddha, I didn't gain much. I could just vaguely feel that there was a residual idea hidden in the Stone Buddha. It should belong to the little Stone Buddha of the past. It can be regarded as saving me many times. That is I wonder what the purpose of this remaining consciousness is?”

He Ping did not feel that the little stone Buddha's Buddhist thoughts had any ill intentions towards him. On the other hand, if he really had any ill intentions, he would not have rescued him many times. However, the remaining thought power seeds did not communicate with him. mean.

After many attempts to communicate to no avail, he gave up on the idea of ​​obtaining the "Three Dharma Seals" through the Stone Buddha. The remaining thoughts in the Stone Buddha ultimately belonged to a strong man at the peak level of manifestation, even if it was just the spirit generated by a Buddhist thought. There was nothing he could do about the seed brand.

"However, it is said that great virtuous monks in Buddhism prioritize cause and effect in their actions. Could it be that there is something in me that makes them take the initiative to help..."

He Ping thought about it carefully, and when he saw the small stone Buddha floating in the air and not intending to leave the prayer building, his heart moved slightly, and he reached out and took out a purple gold copper bowl.

As soon as the copper bowl was taken out, a line of words on the stone sutra pillar jumped and turned into forty Sanskrit seeds. They flew in the air and fell into the purple gold copper bowl. They spun around like golden pills. In an instant, it turned into forty luminous characters, printed in the purple gold copper bowl.

"This is?"

As soon as He Ping's mind came into contact, he sensed a message. This message was made up of forty Sanskrit seed words, which had undergone thousands of changes and inversions, and then turned into countless word blocks with different handwriting, large and small, in his heart. In the void, these blocks of words were spliced ​​together to create a scripture that contained countless mysterious legal principles.

"This is a scripture, no, this is a magical power, a magical power that can prove the Tao and reveal the gods," He Ping froze.

"——"An Chan's Dragon Palm"? Is this the secret skill of Shuiyue Chanyuan?"

He Ping was stunned. He had also heard rumors about the five major Zen monasteries in Buddhism. However, these five major monasteries in Zhonghuan Realm were all extinct in the Great Netherworld Destruction of the Buddha. At that time, Venerable Hui of Shuiyue Chanyuan was sealing Agani. At the time of the Buddha, he was bombarded by Agani Zha Buddha with his magic power. From then on, Shuiyue Chanyuan's most powerful temple-controlling secret "Anchan Dragon Control" was lost, and no one in later generations could master it. The door is the supreme Dharma door.

"So that's what happened?"

He understood in his heart and looked at the stone Buddha.

"Great Sage Jialan is a direct disciple of the Buddha. I am afraid he is also the founder of Shuiyue Zenyuan. In the past, there used to be an eminent monk from Shuiyue Zenyuan who had the magical power of "Anchan Dragon Palm". One day, he came After arriving at the ruins of this ancient temple, I wrote a line of poetry, which contains this magical power... You guided me here in the hope of preserving the Taoism of the Shuiyue lineage."

The three vehicles of Shravaka, Pratyekabuddha, and Bodhisattva; and the five channels of Vajra, Ksitigarbha, Shuiyue, Kurong, and Sandalwood are collectively called the three vehicles and five channels of Buddhism, and are also known as the roots of all sects. As long as these three vehicles and five channels continue, Buddhism is not considered discontinued.

"However, compared with the magical power of Shuiyue Chanyuan, the inheritance of the Three Dharma Seals is more important. Instead of giving me this "Anzen Dragon Control Palm", you might as well pass on the Three Dharma Seals to me..."

He Ping tried to deceive, saying that "Dragon Palm of An Chan" is a magical skill that can realize the Tao and manifest the spirit. He has already mastered a small part of the Buddhist essence of "Supreme Yoga Shattered Vajrayana". By drawing parallels and drawing inferences, he might have a chance. Learn this magical power.

However, "An Chan Dragon Palm" still cannot be compared with the Three Dharma Seals. The Three Dharma Seals are the basis for Buddhism to enter the Tao, and it is also the correct way to enter the Tao created by the Buddha. The Buddhist method of entering the Tao originally follows the flow of heaven and ranks among the top 10.

Later, because Buddhism was hit hard and its vitality was severely damaged, it fell out of the top 10 and was overtaken by Chongyang Palace, Xuantian Temple, Wanqing Sect, and Mud Sect. Even so, the Three Dharma Seals of Buddhism are still the most suitable in the world. One of the ways to enter the Tao.

He Ping is also aware of one thing, or he is suspecting that there may be a specific reason for the ranking of the methods of entering the Dao. Logically speaking, every method of entering the Dao is in line with the principles of heaven, and its ranking conforms to the three laws of heaven, earth and man, and is innate. method.

Since it is an innate law, its laws should be stable. Why there are advances and retreats cannot be explained by a Spring and Autumn Catastrophe. Moreover, like the two major forces of Sanyuan Demon Palace and Taiyi Taoist Palace, the former destroyed In one fell swoop, all the Taoist traditions were destroyed, and the latter also failed to recover due to the fall of the Daxian dynasty.

"If the failure of the Holy Land of the Cultivation Sect will also lead to the decline in the ranking of the Taoist Dharma, or removal from the 36 Zhengfa, then the Sanyuan Demon Palace is almost extinct, and the Taiyi Taoist Palace is hiding overseas to survive. How can they guarantee themselves? The ranking will not be overtaken by latecomers?"

Thinking about this, He Ping thought of one thing, that is, the "treasure of suppressing religion". He knew that the treasures of suppressing religion in Sanyuan Demon Palace and Taiyi Taoist Palace still existed, but they were missing. As for Buddhism, its suppression of religion The teaching treasure "Six Paths Wheel Diagram" is not complete. Could all the reasons be related to the teaching treasure?

"The righteous methods of entering the Tao of various sects may be closely connected with the supreme treasure of the Suppressing Sect. Is that so... The ranking of the methods of entering the Tao is affected by and anchored by the artifact of the Suppressing Sect. This so-called ranking is not only It is related to the existence of Taoism, and it is also related to the integrity of the religious treasure..."

He Ping thought about it again. When "The Invisible Secret" confronted the Tianxun Killing Sword, it was also mentioned that the Tianxun Killing Sword was hunting other Yuanlings that suppressed the sect's treasures. If what he said was unnecessary, then there was something involved behind this incident. The secret is appalling.

Buzz!

The Buddha's light on the stone Buddha trembled slightly, and a vague Buddha's voice floated out and spread into his consciousness.

"...The Three Dharma Seals are the supreme inheritance of Buddhism. Non-Buddhist disciples should not teach it lightly. Those who are not the true Dharma and righteous thoughts should not teach it lightly. Those who are not compassionate should not teach it lightly...I will teach you "An Chan Dragon Palm" to send me back to heaven. Buddha Shadow Cave, I will save you three times, and the two will cancel each other out..."

"Tianfo Shadow Cave?"

He Ping was stunned for a moment.

"You mean the Sky Buddha Shadow Cave in Shichan Temple, which was the holy land of Buddhism in the past. However, when the Buddha was exterminated, that Buddhist cave was already destroyed?"

Tianfoying Cave is a holy place in Shichan Temple. When Shichan Temple was built, not a single brick or tile was built. It was a stone temple carved out of the mountain wall by monks and craftsmen. The stone temple is dotted with grottoes, and the caves are carved with There are Buddha statues and scriptures promoting Buddhist teachings, as well as various murals.

It is said that there is a stone wall enshrined in it. That stone wall was where the Buddha used to meditate on the wall. Because of his sincerity, his seated image was reflected in the stone wall. There is a faint image of the Buddha on the stone, so the stone wall is called the stone where the Buddha left his image. It is also a stone meditation stone. The treasure of the temple.

"What was destroyed was only the 'Celestial Buddha's Shadow Cave' in the secular world. The real Heavenly Buddha's Shadow Cave was in the hometown of the Buddha, not in the world of mortals, but outside the world of mortals. The Buddha's Cave was the sacred domain of Buddhism, hidden in the great sky. The ocean is the land of Buddha in the void. You can take advantage of the convergence of the heaven and earth to go to the depths of the void to find the place where the Buddha left his shadow..."

His eyes were closed tightly, and in sensing this thought, endless void turbulence emerged. There were routes in the turbulence, which were coordinates imprinted in the void. Countless fragments of time and space turned into storm vortices, and then in In the deepest part, there is a "pure land" that emits golden Buddha light.

"The intersection of heaven and earth...the home of Buddha, the real 'Celestial Buddha Shadow Cave'?"

He Ping opened his eyes again, very surprised.

The Stone Buddha delivered an astonishing news. The key to this news was not the "Hometown of the Buddha" or the "Sky Buddha Shadow Cave". The real point was that the Stone Buddha mentioned the four words "the intersection of the heaven and the earth".

At this moment, Shi Buddha suddenly injected another thought.

"You are a member of the Immortal Puppet Sect. You should know what the intersection of the heaven and earth means. This matter is of great importance. If you think this is not enough, then so what..."

A ray of Buddha's light fell and seeped into the mud pit, and suddenly, a clay doll emerged from it.

"'Mud Voice Puppet'?"

He Ping saw at a glance that this clay puppet was a kind of puppet from the Immortal Puppet Sect, which was specially used to convey information. It could also store information.

With a "swish", the clay puppet flew into his hands and was pinched in his palm. At this moment, the clay puppet's closed eyes opened, and a vicissitudes and mysterious voice came out of its mouth.

"I am the fifteenth generation sect leader of the Immortal Puppet Sect, You Weidu... If future generations of Puppet Sect disciples get this clay doll, they will be qualified to know a secret of this sect!"
