Taiping Inn

The group continued to go to the "Buddha City". From a distance, they could already see the "Buddha City" built on the hillside. It was like a huge terraced field, with layers and distinct temples. Under the sun, countless golden glazed tiles shone brightly, as if the Buddha's light was shining everywhere, making the "Buddha City" look like the Buddhist country in the Western Paradise.

As they got closer and closer to the "Buddha City", Li Xuandu also found that countless Buddhist caves of various sizes had been dug out on the mountain wall above the Buddhist temple. The most eye-catching ones were the five ten-foot-tall Buddhas and many Bodhisattvas.

On the far left was the Eastern Medicine King Buddha, with the Sunlight Shining Bodhisattva and the Moonlight Shining Bodhisattva carved beside him, which were the Three Saints of the East.

In the far west was Amitabha Buddha. Buddhist disciples believed that Amitabha Buddha mainly used his vows to lead sentient beings to the Paradise and escape from the cycle of suffering, so he was also called the Guide Buddha, the Infinite Light Buddha and the Infinite Life Buddha. Beside the Buddha of Reception are the Bodhisattvas of Great Courage and Great Strength and the Bodhisattva of Great Compassion, who are the Three Holy Ones of the West.

The one at the top is the Buddha of the past, Dipankara, and the one at the bottom is the fifth Buddha, Maitreya Bodhisattva. Because Maitreya Buddha is the future Buddha and the Maitreya era has not yet arrived, he is still a Bodhisattva in the Tushita Court at this time, also known as Maitreya Buddha and the Buddha of the East.

The one in the middle is the fourth Buddha who is in charge of the current central Posahavatamsaka world, Sakyamuni Buddha, the present Buddha, who is called the Buddha by the people. Manjusri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva are on his left and right, collectively known as the Three Holy Ones of Huazang.

The Medicine King Buddha, Amitabha Buddha and the Buddha are collectively known as the Three Buddhas of the Horizontal World, and the Buddha of the Ancient World, Maitreya Bodhisattva and the Buddha are collectively known as the Three Buddhas of the Vertical World.

In addition to these five main Buddhas, there are Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats of all sizes, surrounding the five Buddhas in all directions, which is really like a Buddhist country.

Twelve great masters of the heavenly realm hovered not far from the "Buddha City", each silent.

Li Xuandu concentrated on observing the various Buddha statues. There are standing Buddhas, reclining Buddhas, sitting Buddhas, and Buddhas in various postures. Some Buddhas hold the fearless seal, some Buddhas hold the inner lion seal, some Buddhas hold the lotus seal, some Buddhas hold the outer lion seal, and some Buddhas hold the inner lion seal. There are many Bodhisattvas, some Bodhisattvas hold the treasure bottle seal, some Bodhisattvas hold the inner binding seal, and some Bodhisattvas hold the outer binding seal. There are also five great Mingwangs among the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. The Acala in the middle holds the Acala seal, with a solemn appearance. On the left side of the cliff, there are flying celestial maidens, and on the right side of the cliff, there are Dharma protectors. There are Arhats at the lower left, and Vajra King at the lower right. Under the Buddhas, there are the eight divisions of heavenly beings.

The forest of ten thousand Buddhas, hidden wonderful Dharma.

Seeing the hand seals of many Buddha statues, Li Xuandu felt that he could relate to the "Great Treasure Bottle Seal". For Buddhist disciples, these Buddha statues are an excellent secret manual of exercises. No wonder Jingchan Sect could be compared with Zhengyi Sect in the past. It has a profound foundation and its own unique features.

Wuzhen stood beside Li Xuandu and saw that Li Xuandu seemed to be moved by the Buddha. He chanted: "The pure light without stain, the sun of wisdom breaks all darkness, can suppress disasters, wind and fire, and illuminate the world."

Master Huixuan then chanted: "The compassionate body is like thunder, the compassionate mind is like a great cloud, and the nectar rain of Dharma is poured to extinguish the flames of troubles."

Master Fa of the Shingon Sect said: "The mind does not stay in the body, and the body does not stay in the mind, but can do Buddhist things, and the freedom has never been there. If people want to know everything in the three worlds, they should observe The nature of the Dharma Realm is created by the mind alone. "

Li Xuandu has practiced "Zen Gong of Sitting and Forgetting" for many years and has also read some Buddhist classics. At this time, he listened to the words of the three Buddhist monks and said thoughtfully: "All things are impermanent, which is the law of birth and death. When birth and death are extinguished, nirvana is happiness."

Wu Zhen put his palms together: "Good, good, Master Li is a person with great wisdom."

At this time, Taiwei Zhenren suddenly said: "The essence of the ultimate way is deep and dark, the ultimate way is dim and silent. Silence. Do not see or hear, embrace the spirit and be quiet, the body will be straightened by itself. Be quiet and clear, do not tire the body, do not shake the spirit, then you can live forever. The eyes see nothing, the ears hear nothing, the heart knows nothing, the spirit guards the body, the body will live forever. "

Three Mysterious Immortals also said: "Be careful inside and close the outside, knowing too much will lead to failure. Then above the great light, you will reach the origin of the most yang; enter the gate of the dark, you will reach the origin of the most yin. Heaven and earth have their own officials, yin and yang have their own storages, be careful to guard your body, and things will become strong by themselves. Keep one, and live in harmony. Although After 1,200 years of self-cultivation, his body has never declined. "

Finally, the oldest Wanshou Zhenren said: "Still keep it and tell it, after the sun, you can be outside the world; after being outside the world, keep it for another seven days, then you can be outside things; after being outside things, keep it for another nine days, then you can be outside life; after being outside life, you can be clear in the morning; after being clear in the morning, you can see the solitude, and after seeing the solitude, you can be free from the past and the present, and after being free from the past and the present, you can enter the state of neither death nor life. "

Although Buddhism and Taoism merged, there were also disputes between Buddhism and Taoism. When the three Taoist Zhenren saw that the three Buddhist masters used the Jingchan Sect stone carvings to guide Li Xuandu and show the ability of Buddhism, they naturally did not want to be compared, so they spoke one after another in tacit understanding and recited the Taoist alchemy formulas.

Zhang Jingxiu glanced at Li Xuandu and said, "This is the true interpretation of the inner chapter of the alchemy passed down by Nanhua Daojun. It is similar to the ten volumes of the heavenly book of the evil way. The four sects of Taoism each got one. It is a great blessing for Zifu to get some fragments from three immortals." Li Xuandu was stunned at first, then he was happy and wrote it down immediately. Li Xuandu had gained a lot today. First, he was inspired by the stone carvings, and then he got guidance from three Buddhist masters, and then he got guidance from three Taoist immortals. It was very helpful for his learning of "Dabaopingyin" and "Taishang Danjing".

Of the five profound skills that Li Xuandu learned, the "Zuowang Zen Gong" was the most profound and could be regarded as the foundation of his life. The second was the "Xuanwei Zhenshu" that he had practiced for many years. During this period of time, he compared the "Xuanwei Zhenshu" with the "Taiping Qingling Sutra", which was quite helpful and could be compared with the "Zuowang Zen Gong". Unfortunately, the other three profound skills were just a glimpse of the basics and were not profound. This gave him the opportunity to practice the "Dabaoping Yinyin Seal" and "Taishang Danjing" to the level of the first two. When he added the last "Xuanyin Zhenjing", the five elements were complete, and he could hope to reach the realm of heaven and man.

Li Xuandu bowed to Taiwei Zhenren, Sanxuan Zhenren, Wanshou Zhenren, Master Wuzhen, Master Fafa, and Master Huixuan, and said, "Thank you all for your guidance."

Although the six people may not be able to defeat Li Xuandu, the saints said, "There must be one who can be my teacher when three people walk together." This time, they taught Li Xuandu, which was a favor to Li Xuandu, so they accepted Li Xuandu's gift calmly and smiled without saying anything.

Zhang Jingxiu said, "If Zifu can comprehend the creation of heaven and man at the age of thirty, then there is hope for immortality. In the future, the position of the leader of the righteous path may also be taken by Zifu."

Li Xuandu immediately said with great fear, "Grand Heavenly Master is really overpraising, and I am ashamed to accept it."

Zhang Jingxiu smiled without saying anything.

Although Zhengyi Sect has led the righteous path for many years, not every generation of Grand Heavenly Master can become the leader of the righteous path. After all, there are talented people in the world. If they meet such a rare person, the Grand Heavenly Master will also give way to the wise. Now, looking at the Zhengyi Sect, although there are many talented people, there is a lack of a great talent. There was originally a Yan Feiqing, but he was not a member of the Zhang family, and he was seriously injured. Under such circumstances, it is difficult for anyone to compete with Li Xuandu. Rather than letting the leader of the Righteous Path fall into the hands of Li Taiyi of the Qingwei Sect, it is better to let Li Xuandu do it. After all, the Grand Master has been kind to Li Xuandu.

The other sect leaders had different expressions, but no one spoke. After all, everyone is not young, only Li Xuandu is the youngest. Life is only a hundred years, and this world is still the world of young people. Looking at their own disciples, it is difficult to compare with Li Xuandu.

Thinking of this, these sect leaders couldn't help but sigh secretly. Some people also secretly said in their hearts: "In terms of the ability to recruit disciples, the Great Sword Immortal can be said to be the world's number one. The six disciples are all outstanding. Not to mention Mr. Situ Da and Mr. Hai Shi in the past, even Li Xuandu and Li Taiyi later were also extremely powerful rising talents. Fortunately, Mr. Situ Da died early, Li Xuandu also left Qingwei Sect, and Mr. Hai Shi and Li Taiyi were unruly and unruly. If the seven masters and disciples worked together, the world of the Qingwei Sect would really be the world of the future." But on second thought, this is also reasonable. Since ancient times, who would be willing to be inferior to others? The six disciples of the Great Sword Immortal are all outstanding people, so naturally they are unwilling to be inferior to others, but there is only one leader of Qingwei Sect, and sooner or later, there will be troubles within the sect.

After a while, Zhang Jingxiu said again: "Everyone, descend."

After saying that, he fell down first, and the other eleven people followed him down. It just landed in front of the gate of Jingchan Sect.

Then Zhang Jingxiu said: "Zhang Jingxiu of Zhengyi Sect, together with friends from Zhengdao Sect, came to visit Jingchan Sect. Please grant me an audience."

Zhang Jingxiu's voice was not loud, but it could be heard dozens of miles away. But there was no sound in the temple, and there was no echo at all.
