Under the Bodhi tree, Fajing suddenly raised his head and stared at the nameless Bodhisattva who had an inexplicable smile on his face as if he was looking down on the impermanence of the world. He was suddenly enlightened! He understood the Zen in the smile of the nameless Bodhisattva and instantly understood what the old monk meant by the only way out before he fell into the darkness …
"Heart to heart!"
Just as the old monks were concentrating on their meditation and chanting scriptures, trying to forget the horror around them, Fajing's words came into their ears — "Under the Bodhi tree, it's Venerable Maha Kasyapa!"
Back then, Mahabrahma brought several followers to offer the Golden Udumbara Flower to the Revered One. Each of them bowed to the Revered One and retreated to one side. Then, the Revered One picked up the Golden Udumbara Flower and raised his eyebrows to show everyone that they were at a loss. Kasyapa broke into a smile. The Revered One said, "I have the eyes of righteousness and the wonderful heart of nirvana. I will give my advice to you. You can protect me and continue to be with me. "
Mahabrahma was the Asura King, one of the four Heavenly Demon Kings under River Styx. He led his followers to meet the Revered One and offered the Golden Udumbara Flower, which naturally represented River Styx's attitude. Not long after, the ancestor River Styx personally came to the Bodhi tree to debate with the Revered One in the Lonely Garden. As a result, the Bodhi tree fell into the Ultimate and became a part of the Mahesvara.
Fajing then realized that this place was indeed the Bodhi tree for the Lonely Garden. The sacred place where the Nalanda Temple was located was also the Bodhi tree for the Lonely Garden. One was the sacred garden in the world and the other was in Spirited Mountain.
Back then, the Revered One picked up the Udumbara Flower presented by River Styx and signaled all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to be at a loss. Only Venerable Maha Kasyapa smiled and imprinted it under the Bodhi tree where he was.
This smile represented the eyes of righteousness, the wonderful heart of nirvana, the wonderful heart of nirvana, and the subtle Dharma. It was not written in words and was passed to outsiders. It was the Zen of Maha Kasyapa. However, at this moment, Fajing saw Venerable Maha Kasyapa's smile and was enlightened! It was as if Kasyapa's smile had been waiting for this day.
The River Styx delivered the Udumbara Flower, and then the Pure Land was destroyed. All the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas fell together, and their evil thoughts turned into Daos, leaving behind Buddhas and ghosts. When the Revered One saw the flower, he understood its meaning, and when Maha Kasyapa saw the flower, he smiled. All of this was for today. He left behind the opportunity to enlighten the fated people, and left behind the only way out of this once Buddhist land, which was now a dead land.
It was also the key to sealing the poltergeist ghosts.
Master Fajing understood the mystery of Zen and couldn't help but cry. He bowed his head and kowtowed, "Revered One is merciful … Kasyapa is merciful!"
In the past, the River Styx preached and left behind the evil thoughts of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas here, turning them into Buddha ghosts and their evil bodies into Buddha bones. However, the evil thoughts of the River Styx reverberated in the Land of Sealed Nothingness, turning the holy land of Buddhism into a devil's land. What about the Revered One? Where was the thought left behind by the Revered One of the other side? How did the Buddha and the Bodhisattva sever the evil thoughts in the past?
Fajing had long realized that the Diamond Sutra they heard when they first stepped into the Garden of Solitude was the voice left behind by the Revered One.
If they felt something was wrong here, they could naturally chant the Diamond Sutra to combine with the thought left behind by the Revered One to guide them out of this devil's land and not be polluted by the evil thoughts of the Demon Ancestor in the devil's land. However, no one understood this at that time, and no one had the opportunity to do so, which led to their doom of being trapped here.
The Revered One still left them a second way out, which was the Kasyapa under the Bodhi tree.
Under the guidance of the nameless old monk, Fajing finally understood the epiphany symbolized by the smile of Kasyapa. He realized that the Revered One had also left behind a thought in the Garden of Solitude, which could enlighten them out of the devil's land, dissolve the evil thoughts, and even force the Buddha ghosts to retreat.
Fajing said calmly, "In the past, the Kasyapa smiled and faced the Revered One!"
"So the direction the Kasyapa looked at is where the Revered One is!"
The old monks raised their heads, put their palms together, and chanted the name of Buddha. First, they bowed respectfully to the Kasyapa, thanking the merciful Revered One for leaving behind a smile and opening a way out for them. Then they looked up and saw the Kasyapa facing them. They sat in a circle, facing different directions, but no matter which direction they turned, the shadow left behind by the Kasyapa faced them and smiled.
An old monk exclaimed, "Why is the Revered One's eyes looking at me!"
"I see it too, the Revered One is looking at me!"
The group of old monks sitting in a circle exclaimed. They looked at Kasyapa, and Maha Kasyapa also looked at them. Reverend Fajing put one palm in front of his chest, with a faint sense of sadness and tranquility. There was an unconcealable sense of loss in his eyes. He said sadly, "So … the Revered One has always been in my heart! It's funny that I once saw the Demon Ancestor everywhere, remembered that the Buddha ghosts were by my side, saw the darkness of the ghosts, but forgot … the Buddha has always been in our hearts, the Revered One is in our hearts! "
So the Kasyapa looked at us with a smile.
So he looked at me, and also at the Buddha!
So the Buddha is in Spirited Mountain!
"Kasyapa! Lend me your eyes! "Fajing kowtowed and bowed.
When he looked up again, he saw himself. His eyes had become the eyes of Kasyapa, and he smiled at the old monk sitting cross-legged before him. He wore a white robe, and the calm demeanor of the old monk had long been forgotten. Now, there was an indescribable fatigue and faint fear in his eyes.
His brows were lowered, and his expression was full of sorrow. The Buddhist light on him was no longer glorious, and was dyed with a layer of dim yellow. A faint circle of light enveloped him. Behind him was endless darkness and surging poltergeist ghosts. The immeasurable light had long dimmed. Right now, this old monk was just a wisp of dim yellow light in the endless darkness. He was struggling weakly because of dusk.
The darkness was getting closer and closer, and was about to drown the last remaining light.
Fajing had never looked at himself like this before, and he suddenly said, "So this is me! Where is the Buddha? " At this moment, he looked at the source of the dim light. The light came from his heart, and on the light sat a Buddha. He was a Buddha whose face could not be seen clearly, and it was not even a golden body, nor was it a Dharma that shone with endless brilliance and illuminated the world. It was just a stone Buddha statue with a little spirituality.
The blurry face used to be exquisite and lively, but now it was etched with lines, just like the Buddha statue that Fa Jing saw in the small temple where his master was when he was young.
He chanted scriptures under this Buddha statue, and the Buddhist heart and Zen nature sprouted.
Along the way, the old monk had long passed away. Fa Jing started from a nameless small temple in a lonely mountain ridge, and walked to the various worlds. He saw more and more incredible Buddhist treasures and Dharma, and Buddha statues that contained countless mysterious Dharma and Logos. He even became the mighty Bodhisattva in the scriptures … But today, at this moment, he finally knew that in his heart, the Buddha was still the broken stone statue in the small temple.
No matter how many visualization diagrams of the Buddha he had seen in those precious scriptures, or even the Dharma of the Buddha personally drawn by the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who had met the Revered One, or the true face of the Buddha that contained countless mysteries.
In his heart, it was still the first time he saw the Buddha.
Fa Jing's face was already covered in tears. He could only see himself and the Buddha in his heart. The terrifying Buddha ghost beside him, the surging tide of darkness behind him, and the unpredictable group of Devil Monarchs of Diabolism were all forgotten by him. Now, in his eyes, there was only one person and one Buddha. The person faced the Buddha, and the Buddha faced the person.
Fa Jing knelt in front of the Buddha, and worshipped the Buddha in his heart.
Just like when he was still a little acolyte …
The Revered One placed his hand on the top of his head, and said in a low voice, "The devil in your heart is here!" Having said that, Fa Jing saw all his thoughts. Each thought rose and fell in his heart. He easily saw the rise and fall of his thoughts, the source and the essence. He saw himself clearly, but forgot what he saw at this moment.
He saw his ugliness and holiness, desire and piety, evil thoughts and good thoughts, and saw his own nature and other thoughts. Fa Jing sighed softly, and said in a low voice, "The Buddha is a Yin Devil!"
At this moment, the world view of the Buddha transmitted by River Styx appeared in his heart. These thoughts, concepts, understandings, and thoughts turned into countless twisted and horrifying Yin Devils, surrounding his heart. This was the thought left behind by the Buddha. This thought was the Buddha, but it was also beyond the Buddha. This concept was another definition of the Buddha's thought defined by River Styx – Yin Devil.
The Revered One of the Buddha defined the Buddha ghosts as Yin Devils. This was a step further from River Styx's thoughts and understanding. He defined the external Buddha's thought as the Buddha ghosts and Yin Devils. Those who had Buddha's nature in their heart could revolve around the Buddha's thought and change their world view. They could integrate into their heart, and the twisted nature was marked out, turning it into the appearance of the Yin Devil, which could be slashed by the Sword of Wisdom and the Buddha's heart!
Under the suppression of the Buddha's thought, Fa Jing turned the Buddha ghosts into Yin Devils, and slashed them out with his own Zen heart.
Under the Bodhi tree, Fa Jing, who was surrounding Venerable Kasyapa, suddenly stood up, leaving Fa Jing's corpse sitting on the ground. He was no longer trapped in the darkness. A green lamp was lit in his heart, shining in all directions. Wherever the infinite light shone, the darkness did not exist. He no longer existed for the Buddha ghosts, nor did he exist in the Devil's Soil. Any relationship with the Buddha and the Devil's Soil was left behind with the corpse.
Then, one by one, the old monks stood up from the Bodhi tree and followed Reverend Fa Jing out of the Devil's Soil.
However, not everyone had this kind of good fortune. Some old monks did not see the Buddha in their heart. Instead, they saw the evil thoughts of the Buddhas and the Buddha ghosts. They looked up and saw all their companions' corpses under the tree. They were almost scared out of their wits! Some stood up and ran frantically in the direction they came from, trying to escape from the Devil's Soil. Some sat paralyzed on the ground, letting the horrifying Buddha ghosts devour them.
The demonic cultivators looked at the group of Buddhists sitting under the Bodhi tree. Some were pulled into the darkness by the horrifying existence, some ran into the depths of the Devil's Soil, and some … died just like that!
Yuan Yu was also dumbfounded for a while. After a long time, he slapped his thigh and cursed, "Turtle … let them escape again!"
"They must have found something left behind by the Revered One of the Revered One and escaped!"
Xue Tu also came to a sudden realization. He cursed in his heart, "Motherf * cker, these bald donkeys are so slippery … even the Great Freedom Sky Devil's Soil could let them escape! The one under the Bodhi tree is probably not Venerable Kasyapa. There must be some little secret that can help us get out of here! "
"They're gone! What should we do? " The Lifeless Cult Master prayed, "Slaughtering Demon Ancestor, you are our father … We are your dearest children. Father, please give us a way out and let us out!"
Yuan Yu pulled Fan Wu Jie's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Now there are two ways to get out of here, which one do you choose?"
Fan Wu Jie had a dumbfounded look on his face. How many people from the Buddhism Sect had died, and even with the help of the Revered One of the World, only a portion of them managed to escape. Yet, Fan Wu Jie opened his mouth and said that there were two paths. Was this worthy of the sacrifices of so many people from the Buddhism Sect?
Yuan Yu seemed to see the doubt in Fan Wu Jie's heart, and sighed, "They are Buddhists, falling into the Demon Ancestor's territory, of course they will die, and only if they are lucky enough to escape. We are the direct descendants of the Demon Ancestor, there is no need to go through so much trouble! Of the two paths I'm talking about, the first one is' Blooming Flowers to See Buddha ', which is the path that Buddhists use to escape. "
"I saw clearly just now that those bald donkeys saw the Revered One of the World from Venerable Kasyapa, and that was why they escaped."
"In a while, you will go and see Venerable Kasyapa. Mo Ke Kasyapa is the ancestor of Zen, and he is most particular about enlightenment. As long as you can understand your own Buddha nature, you can be like those bald donkeys, cut off a corpse, and free yourself, leaving behind the tainted thoughts of the Demon Ancestor, and leave the Pure Land!"
"What about the second way?" Fan Wu Jie expressed that he wanted to compare the two to see what the Demon Ancestor's conditions were like.
"The second way is simple. For us, as long as we integrate the Demon Ancestor's demonic thoughts into our Great Dao, and then go up to the Buddha and shout, defining us as demons, we can transform into ghosts, and turn into some kind of demon. Then we can subdue the demon and return to our original appearance. In my experience, the world should have been tainted long ago. "
"Otherwise, how did the rumors of ghosts turning back into ghosts come about?"
"But because of the thoughts of the few powerful beings in the world, no one can see the specter. If no one can see it, then it doesn't exist. So after the souls of everyone in this world dissipate, they no longer exist, and no one can prove whether or not there is a specter. After we leave, the specter's divine ability will turn into some kind of demon, and the specter's thoughts can no longer be observed. The demonic thoughts left by the Demon Ancestor in the specter's thoughts will turn into some kind of demon. "
"I've even guessed what the devil that the poltergeist originally transformed into was!"
Yuan Yu smiled confidently, "It should be the Yin Demon Dao of the ten Demon Dao. Outside the Ultimate, the specter's thoughts can't be observed, so the ghosts that contain the Demon Ancestor's demonic thoughts turn into Yin Demons!"
After Fan Wu Jie was exposed, he really found that the demonic nature of his thoughts, the Demon Ancestor's thoughts, had changed into another form, and turned into two great divine abilities — Heaven Burning Yin Demon Immortal Body, Heaven Resenting Heart Demon Myriad Transformations!
Fan Wu Jie shuddered, and asked in a low voice, "In other words, as long as the Buddha seals the ghosts, turning them into Yin Demons and Heart Demons, subduing them with the Demon Dao, they can also escape from this demonic land. Then the Specter created by the Demon Ancestor has already been sealed here by the powerful beings. Outside the demonic land, the specter's thoughts will no longer exist, and even the ghosts will turn into Yin Demons and Heart Demons that are restrained by the righteous path. So this time, the Demon Ancestor's plan has failed! "
Yuan Yu laughed coldly, "Who knows … the specter's thoughts don't exist to us outside the Ultimate. But that doesn't mean it doesn't exist to Patriarch River Styx! Maybe this is Patriarch River Styx's original intention … the specter can't be seen, only the River Styx can. In this way, in the primordial times, all the souls, all the ghosts, and the specters that turn into specters after death, who will they fall into? "
Fan Wu Jie thought deeper, and felt even more horrified!
"Isn't this the 'love' of all living beings in the primordial times? All the thoughts, information, and thoughts of all living beings won't be destroyed with death, and will only fall into the hands of Patriarch River Styx."
"Let him control all the thoughts of all living beings!"
Yuan Yu laughed coldly, "That's why there's a legend that when all living beings have distracting thoughts, a Yin Demon will appear in the sea of blood. As long as the distracting thoughts are not destroyed, the Yin Demon will not perish. That's why there are endless demons in the world. They are immortal, and they are the scariest foundation of the Demon Dao! "
"The Demon Ancestor of River Styx tried to control all the thoughts of all living beings, and all the information of the universe. With such great ambition, will he die?"
Yuan Yu sighed, "In name, the Demon Dao has two Demon Ancestor, one more hateful than the other, so it's normal for him to die!"
Fan Wu Jie shivered … he didn't dare to think further.
If the specter's thoughts were not destroyed, the specter would not be seen. If the world had really been tainted long ago, but all the truth had been sealed by the Revered One and the Three Pure Ones. If all the ghosts in the world really turned into specters after death, or even the more hidden and invisible Xi and Yi. Then where did all the distracting thoughts and thoughts of all living beings in the world go?
Was this the original intention of River Styx when he created the specter?
To keep all living beings?
To turn all living beings into demons?
Fan Wu Jie still had a part of River Styx's thoughts in his consciousness. He tried to think from River Styx's point of view, and found that River Styx was really the kind of person who couldn't be understood at all, and whose thoughts were demonic and terrifying.
Would he one day create a huge specter that contained the thoughts of all living beings that had existed in the primordial era, and let it devour him?
In the end, it would turn into a demon of all living beings, an ocean of red dust, an ocean of information entropy, and become the source of the immortal demonic nature of the primordial era … If the Demon Ancestor of Slaughter really did such a crazy thing, then all living beings would really become demons!
As long as all living beings were not destroyed, the Demon Dao would not perish!
That was an invincible position …
At this moment, Fan Wu Jie wasn't thinking with his own consciousness, but with River Styx's consciousness. When he finished thinking, before he could even feel fear … this thought inexplicably disappeared without a trace.
River Styx stared at an invisible fiendish diagram in the primordial universe. At this moment, an unfamiliar specter suddenly appeared in the fiendish diagram. At every moment, countless specters were born in the fiendish diagram. These were the specters that flowed into the fiendish diagram after the information carriers in the primordial universe were destroyed. However, this specter was rather special. It came from a person who was still alive.
River Styx split a tiny bit of his attention to pay attention to this newly appeared specter.
Then, he continued to stare at the fiendish diagram, at the Demon Ancestor of All Beings that was slowly taking shape.
River Styx's lips curled into a smile. "Long time no see … old friend!"
In the Ultimate, even without Yuan Yu revealing the secret, the group of Daoists of the Demonic Dao studied for a long time and gradually came up with a way to change forms and escape from the Land of Sealed Dreams. One of the Demon Monarchs accepted Demon Ancestor's idea and turned into a group of specters. He came before Kasyapa and used his specter body to enter the information left behind by Kasyapa.
As expected, he saw the Revered One of the World shouting, "Yin Demon!"
After receiving this blow and waking up, he realized that he had cultivated the Sky-burning Yin Demon Invincible Body. His state had turned into countless Yin Demons, which were extremely difficult to deal with. When he used the secret demonic subduing technique to subdue the Yin Demons and make them his own, he turned back into his original appearance and disappeared from the eyes of the Demon Monarchs of the Demonic Dao.
Thus, everyone began to cultivate Yin Demons and Heart Demons. Out of nowhere, they gained two great magical powers that didn't involve any fundamental changes in themselves. Wasn't it wonderful?
Yuan Yu naturally had a way. With the Revered One of the World's thoughts, he cut off a corpse.
Only Fan Wu Jie was a little conflicted. He refused to fall into the Demonic Dao, but he was also worried that he would be enlightened by the Buddhists. In the end, he used the ideas of the Demon Ancestor and the Gautama Buddha to fight against each other to minimize the impact and escape from the Land of Sealed Dreams.
