Ten days of being a handyman disciple were finished!
He had finished learning all ten Buddhist scriptures!
Qin Di was led by Master Xu Yun to the foot of the mountain where Patriarch Bodhi lived.
There was a deep cave with the words "Slanting Moon and Three Stars" written on the cave entrance.
Master Xu Yun said, "This is the real Slanting Moon and Three Stars Cave. "Slanting Moon and Three Stars Cave is the word 'heart'. "Lingtai Fangcun Mount is the word 'search', and when combined, it is' searching for the heart '. In this cave, if you can find your true heart, withstand the test, and walk to the end in one breath, you will be able to see Patriarch Bodhi! "
Qin Di thanked him and walked into the cave.
At the beginning, the cave was not dark. Instead, it was bright and colorful. On the stone walls on both sides, there were images of Great Buddhas. Every one of them was lifelike.
Qin Di vaguely heard that there seemed to be a Great Buddha talking, "Qin Ku, stop. Let me teach you the secret method of Buddhism. After learning it, you can move mountains and fill the sea, subdue dragons and tigers, dominate the world, and do whatever you want …"
"Qin Ku, how about following me? I will teach you the Heaven Covering Hand. Dealing with Sengoku and the Immortal Emperor will be as easy as taking something out of your pocket … "
"Qin Ku, I am the ancient Buddha of three eras …"
"Qin Ku, I have heard Hongjun's Speech …"
Qin Di knew that these were all illusions. All Dharma was empty, and all Buddhas were destroyed. Therefore, he did not stop and continued to walk forward.
After a while, the cave began to become dark. Thousands of ghosts appeared around him. There were beautiful female ghosts dancing around him, and there were evil ghosts with green faces and fangs blocking his way forward.
Qin Di thought, "I am a disciple of the Yin Ghost Sect, and I have many Ghost Kings and Ghost Immortals under me. How can your tricks scare me?"
He held the seventh level Buddha Fire in his palm, and the Buddha Fire lit up the cave. The female ghosts all prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to move.
Next, he continued to walk forward. In another space, he saw another Heavenly Demon. She was like a flying demoness and looked so real. Her breasts and buttocks were plump and full of temptation. Among them, one was called Tricia, another was called Roddy, and the last one was called Raga. The three of them surrounded him and teased him in every possible way. Their red lips were tender and fragrant, yet Qin Di ignored them and continued to walk forward.
As he walked, he climbed one step after another and fell into one dream after another. Greed, anger, infatuation, hatred, love, evil, and lust emerged one after another!
Fortunately, Qin Di's Divine Sense was powerful. With every step he took, he used his Divine Sense's killing method to strangle these Heart Demons one by one.
After that, he entered one cave after another and experienced eighty-one reincarnations. Each reincarnation was a lifetime.
In some reincarnations, he was sent to the eighteenth level of hell to suffer. In other reincarnations, he became an emperor of the human world and enjoyed all the glory and splendor.
These reincarnations were all different. They came in all shapes and sizes and had many differences. To him, each reincarnation was a test. As long as he indulged in it even once, he would be expelled from the Cave of Crescent and Three Stars.
After eighty-one reincarnations, Qin Di's spirit was ravaged, but at the same time, he grew tremendously. When the reincarnation ended, his Buddha Mountain suddenly grew to eight thousand feet, and his body mysteriously appeared on the peak of the mountain.
In the palace on the peak of the mountain sat a solemn and dignified cultivator.
This person did not wear a kasaya, nor did he wear a Daoist robe. Instead, he wore a loose hemp garment. His hair was tied into two buns, his face was yellow, and he had a little beard. His divine eyes were like lightning, and his eyes were half open and half closed. His nose was straight, and his ears were big. He was as still as a mountain.
What Qin Di paid attention to was not his dust-free appearance, but the way he sat and his aura. It was just like what was described in the Journey to the West:
He felt that Jin Xian's posture was free of filth, and the West's Miaoxiang Ancestor Bodhi.
Unborn and Indestructible, Three Elements, Full Qi, Full Spirit, and Infinite Benevolence.
Emptiness naturally changes as one's nature allows one to do as one pleases.
Living as long as the heavens, Zhuang Yan Body, Ming Xin Great Daoist Master.
Patriarch Bodhi sat on the stone platform, his body straight and motionless. He raised a palm in front of his chest and seemed to be chanting, but no sound came out.
Qin Di took a step forward and knelt down, waiting quietly.
Time passed by, and unknowingly, 18 hours had passed. Patriarch Bodhi looked up at him and said, "Qin Ku, since you're already a person of the Immortal Dao, why bother to step into the Buddhist Sect?"
Qin Di's body trembled, and he quickly bowed and said, "Ancestral Master, I'm in the mortal world, but I have the heart of a Buddhist. Please grant me my wish, Ancestral Master."
Patriarch Bodhi said meaningfully, "In recent years, the Immortal Dao has been chaotic, and there has been endless killing. And you're the one who's facing the tribulation. The Buddhist Sect doesn't want to get involved in this chaos. If I accept you as my disciple, I'm afraid I'll be reprimanded by the Buddhas in the future. "
Qin Di was surprised, and he immediately said, "The Buddhists are compassionate, and Ancestral Master delivered all living beings from suffering. The four great things are empty, and all living beings are equal. There shouldn't be any difference between the Immortal Dao and the Buddhist Sect."
Patriarch Bodhi smiled slightly, "Amitabha, I didn't expect you to have such comprehension after chanting for only ten days. Since that's the case, I'll accept you as my disciple! "
Qin Di was overjoyed, and he quickly kowtowed, "Disciple greets Master."
Patriarch Bodhi waited for him to finish kowtowing nine times, and said slowly, "When Hongjun was preaching, I followed the Revered One of the World and listened for seven days. I've dabbled in the martial arts of both Buddhism and Daoism. First of all, in the 'Dao' door, there are three hundred and sixty side doors, and each side door has a fruit. Which one do you want to learn? Sigh, if you continue to learn the martial arts of Daoism, I won't make things difficult for you. "
Qin Di said, "As you wish. This disciple will listen wholeheartedly! "
Founding Master said, "How about I teach you the Dao of the word 'technique'? “
Qin Di sucked in a breath of cold air and thought to himself, Why is her tone so similar to what happened to the Monkey King? Could it be that this is how Patriarch Bodhi receives every new disciple? "
He still remembered the plot of Journey to the West, so he casually replied, "What do you say about the path of arcane gates? “
The Patriarch said, "In the Art of Arts, there are some things like asking immortals and phoenixes, asking for divination to know the principles of seeking good fortune and avoiding calamity. “
Qin Di smiled and asked the Monkey King, "Can one attain immortality like this? “
Patriarch said, "No! No! “
Qin Di waved his hand and said, "I'm not learning! Not learning! “
Patriarch said again, "How about I teach you the Dao of the 'Flow' word school? “
Qin Di asked, "What are the principles of the Liu School? “
Founding Master said, "In the Liu School, there are Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Yin-Yang, Mohism, Medicine, and so on. They either read scriptures or chant Buddhist scriptures, or ascend to the heavens. “
The smile on Qin Di's face became wider, "Can one attain immortality like this? “
Patriarch said, "If one wants to attain immortality, it is like placing a pillar in the wall. “
Qin Di said, "Master, what is the meaning of placing a pillar in the wall? “
Patriarch said, "When people build a house, they want it to be sturdy, so they place a pillar in between the walls. When the house collapses, it will definitely rot. “
Qin Di waved his hand again and said, "If that's the case, it won't last long. Not learning! Not learning! “
Patriarch said, "How about I teach you the Dao of the 'Silence' word school? “
Qin Di said, "What is the Dao of the 'Silence' word school? “
Patriarch said, "This is to rest and guard the valley, to be quiet and not to do anything, to meditate, to abstain from eating, to perform meritorious deeds, to meditate and so on. “
Qin Di said, "Can one attain immortality like this? “
Patriarch said, "It is also similar to the 'mud brick at the kiln'. “
"Qin Di smiled," What is the meaning of the 'mud brick at the kiln'? “
Patriarch said, "Just like the brick at the top of the kiln, although it has already taken shape, it has not been tempered by water and fire. When it rains heavily, it will definitely overflow. “
Qin Di said, "It won't last long either. Not learning! Not learning! “
Patriarch said, "How about I teach you the Dao of the 'Movement' word school? “
Qin Di said, "The Dao of the 'Movement' word school, so what? “
Patriarch said, "This is done and done. Plucking the yin to nourish the yang, climbing the bow and stepping on the crossbow, rubbing the navel to clear the air, using the recipe, burning the thatch and striking the cauldron, adding red lead, refining the autumn stone, and taking the women's milk. “
Qin Di said, "Can one attain immortality like this? “
Patriarch said, "To attain immortality, it is like 'fishing the moon from the water'. “
"Qin Di said," Master is here again! ' "How do you say 'fishing the moon from the water'? “
Patriarch said, "The moon is in the sky, and there is a shadow in the water. Although you can see it, you can't touch it, and in the end, it will only be an empty ear."
Qin Di said, "I won't learn it either! I won't learn it! “
Patriarch Bodhi stopped, his face showing a hint of anger, "You monkey, are you determined to learn my Buddhist martial arts? Do you really want my Buddhist sect to get involved in this disaster? Do you know how many Buddhist disciples will perish in this way? "
Qin Di took a deep breath and said hesitantly, "Master, I am just a small character, how can I bring disaster to the Buddhist sect?"
Patriarch Bodhi said, "The wind and clouds meet, fate comes and goes. Unless you can promise me that you will never say that you are my disciple when you go out, no matter when or where! "
Qin Di remembered that when Sun Wukong left, he had faced the same experience. He couldn't help but feel emotional and resolutely said, "Master, I will remember your words. I won't say that I'm your disciple unless I can cover the sky with one hand, and I won't use Buddhist martial arts to harm people. I am willing to ask you to teach me divine arts. "
Patriarch thought for a while and said, "Do you know what martial arts I am best at?"
Qin Di thought for a while and said, "Some people say that you are the best at dispelling emptiness, I wonder if it is true?"
Patriarch said, "The best at dispelling emptiness? I don't dare to say that Buddhism is the best, because the Revered Ones of the Past are still ahead of me! Eternal peace, dispelling emptiness, aiming for emptiness. Master's best martial arts is dispelling emptiness! "
Qin Di's eyes lit up, "Master, I want to learn this martial art from you."
Patriarch said, "This martial art is called 'Five Skandhas are all empty'. Do you know what 'Five Skandhas' is? "
Qin Di had finally read the ten great Buddhist scriptures, so he answered, "Color, perception, thought, action, and knowledge, these are the five skandhas."
Patriarch asked, "Do you know what color is?"
Qin Di answered, "Color is the combination of color. Our knowledge of matter is nothing more than to identify it by its color and shape. Color is matter, everything in the world is color. "
Patriarch said, "Color is divided into the four elements, earth, fire, wind, and water. Do you know what the four elements are? "
Qin Di thought for a while and said, "The four elements refer to the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind, just like the five elements of Daoism, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The four elements cover the whole universe. For example, the mountains and earth are considered big, the oceans and rivers are water, the heat of the sun is fire, and the airflow of space is wind. For example, hair, bones, and flesh belong to the earth, blood secretion belongs to the water, body temperature belongs to the fire, and breathing belongs to the wind. In terms of physical properties, hardness belongs to the earth, wetness belongs to the water, warmth belongs to the fire, and movement belongs to the wind … "
Patriarch was very satisfied, and nodded with a smile, "With this understanding, you can be considered to have learned the basics, and have a certain foundation. I can teach you the basic technique of 'Five Skandhas are all empty'."
When Qin Di heard this, he felt a little discouraged, and thought, "Why is it only the basic technique?"
Patriarch said again, "You said it just now, the first of the five skandhas is color, and it is divided into four elements. I will teach you 'Four Skandhas are all empty'! "
When Qin Di heard this, he was happy, but also shocked, and thought, "From now on, will I be empty of the four elements? My lovers, my beloved disciples, my familiar friends, my real body, and all my clones, are all going to be thrown to the back of my mind and turned into nothingness? "
He heard Patriarch say, "If you want to learn the 'Four Skandhas are all empty', you must first have the four elements, and then you can solve the emptiness!"
Qin Di was stunned, "Master, how can I have the four elements? Don't all of us already have the Big Four? "
Patriarch said, "Among the four elements, earth, fire, wind, and water, you first have the seventh level Buddha Fire, which is called 'Great Fire', and then you have the eight thousand feet tall Buddha Mountain, which is called 'Great Earth'. Now, you still lack 'Great Wind' and 'Great Water'! You must first establish these two elements, then you can learn the 'Four Skandhas are all empty'. "
Qin Di was shocked, "Ah, these are the four elements? With these four elements, what can we do? "
Patriarch said, "With the four elements, you will have four powerful attacks! You can use the Buddha Fire to burn, the Buddha Mountain to crush, the hurricane to blow, and the Buddha Water to cleanse. These are the four methods to subdue dragons and tame tigers, but this is only the first step, and belongs to the category of 'Emptiness is Form'. Then there is the second step, extinguishing the fire, toppling the mountain, calming the hurricane, and dispersing the flood, turning the opponent's attack into nothingness. This belongs to the category of 'Form is Emptiness'. When the two are combined, it will be 'Four Skandhas are all empty'! "
Qin Di heaved a sigh of relief, and thought, "That's good! I didn't have to abandon everything! "
He had originally practiced the five elements of chaos, and if he compared the five elements with the four elements, wood, fire, earth, metal, water, earth, fire, wind, and water, there was only one difference. If metal and earth were combined to form earth, the two would be very similar. This was because green wood was the wind, and wood and wind corresponded.
Therefore, to him, practicing the Four Skandhas are all empty, and first establishing the four elements was no different from the Immortal Dao Kungfu. If there was a difference, it would be in how to 'unravel the emptiness', turning existing things into nothingness. This was the true divine power of Patriarch Bodhi as the 'number one emptiness unraveling'!
Then, he heard Patriarch Bodhi's advice, "There are still many areas that you need to improve! First, you have to upgrade the seventh level Buddha Fire to the ninth level, and then upgrade the eight thousand feet tall Buddha Mountain to three thousand feet. Three thousand feet is equivalent to Miao Jue Bodhisattva. Then, you have to upgrade the Dao of Wind and Water. "
"In the north of the Lingtai Fangcun Mount, there is a vast lake with all kinds of Immortal Water, Buddha Water, and Devil Water. In the early years of the primordial era, I have been collecting these materials. You can go there to practice, and how much of the holy water you can refine will be up to your luck!"
"In the east of the Lingtai Fangcun Mount, there is a Hurricane Valley. It is a place to practice wind-elemental spells."
"When you have mastered the four elements of earth, fire, wind, and water, I will teach you the technique of Four Skandhas are all empty. As long as you have mastered this divine power, it will be easy to deal with ordinary Sengoku. If you want to have higher requirements, you will have to practice the Five Skandhas! When you have mastered the Perception, Thought, Action, and Knowledge, you will be neither alive nor dead, neither dirty nor clean, neither increasing nor decreasing. There will be no ignorance, and there will be no end to it. There will be no suffering, and you will be able to overcome all suffering … "
