As the space in front of them melted little by little, a brand new space appeared in front of Ning Chen and the others.
Nineteen levels of hell!
A layer that shouldn't exist in the legend.
It was because of Qingyuan's reminder that Ning Chen discovered the nineteenth floor hidden beneath the eighteenth floor.
Without Qingyuan's induction, Ning Chen really wouldn't have been able to discover this layer.
However, the so-called nineteen levels of hell are not as big as Ning Chen imagined.
It is very small, so small that it can only accommodate one person sitting cross-legged.
"Buddha!?"
Seeing the person sitting cross-legged in that small space, unable to move at all, Ning Chen said in shock and uncertainty.
The reason why he is not sure is because Ning Chen had personal contact with the flesh and blood of Buddha.
Therefore, Ning Chen still knew the Buddha's aura very clearly.
The person sitting cross-legged in this small space in front of me has the same aura as the Buddha.
But logically speaking, Buddha should have died long ago.
How can there be a Buddha here?
Ning Chen didn't know much about the Western Regions.
So Ning Chen looked at Qingyuan, wanting to see if Qingyuan could give him some explanation.
Qingyuan looked at the person sitting cross-legged in the small space below, and nodded gently: "He is indeed the Buddha."
After a pause, Qingyuan added: "But he is not the physical body of the Buddha, nor the Dharmakaya of the Buddha. It is just a thought of the Buddha."
"A thought?"
This answer is really fresh.
With just one thought, I trapped myself in the nineteenth level of hell and suffered.
Seeing the Buddha's increasingly empty Buddha energy, Ning Chen suddenly knew what this thought was.
This is the kind thought of the Buddha!
Ning Chen didn't feel any evil aura in this body.
What it is doing now is to use its own Buddha energy to transcend these eighteen levels of hell as much as possible.
But if this is the case, then there is another problem that cannot be explained clearly.
Ning Chen looked at Qingyuan: "Is that the roaring ghost you just sensed?"
If this is a kind thought, then it shouldn't be so unwilling to roar in anger.
Qingyuan pointed to a mole on the forehead of the body and said, "Is that it?"
Without Qingyuan's guidance, Ning Chen really wouldn't have noticed that flesh mole.
Ning Chen closed his eyes and sensed it carefully, and he indeed felt that there was an angry and roaring ghost there.
And that ghost soul obviously has the same origin as the Buddha, so the ghost soul inside the flesh mole cannot break through the limitations of the Buddha's mind.
Ning Chen gently tested the Buddha's kind thoughts.
I discovered that that kind thought had long since lost any soul vibration, it was just a thought.
A thought to which no response can be given.
Of course, because he cannot make any response, it means that he cannot be bewitched or tempted.
Ning Chen was really surprised when he saw the kind thoughts that had not faded away after thousands of years.
A thought has not been exhausted for thousands of years, which shows how powerful he must be when this thought is completely victorious.
"Don't you find it strange that the Buddha's kind thoughts are so powerful?" Ning Chen asked Qingyuan.
Qingyuan shook his head gently: "The Buddhist scriptures say: One thought of heaven and one thought of hell. The Buddha just had a thought difference, which made him walk on another path.
If you have understood Hinayana Buddhism, you can see that Hinayana Buddhism was a very normal Buddhism at the beginning.
Although he does not talk about saving all sentient beings, he does not blindly pursue strengthening himself.
It’s just that later all the scriptures of Hinayana Buddhism changed.”
Ning Chen really didn't know about this period of history, so he asked Qingyuan: "The scriptures of Hinayana Buddhism have been completely deleted? When did this happen?"
Qingyuan shook his head: "This poor monk doesn't know either, he just entered Leiyin Temple.
In a scripture building in Leiyin Temple that had been closed for a long time, I saw the scriptures of Hinayana Buddhism that had been left behind, and then I realized that there had been such a period of history in the past."
Ning Chen thought for a moment and said: "If there really is such a period of history, it might have been after the Buddha returned from the outer sea."
Ning Chen briefly told Qingyuan about Waihai, so after listening to Ning Chen's analysis, Qingyuan nodded in agreement.
"Let me out and I can sanctify you!"
"Let me out, and I can give you everything in the world!"
…
There were waves of mental fluctuations full of temptation coming from the space.
This mental fluctuation is very bewitching.
Not to mention ordinary people, even second-grade people like Ning Chen and Qingyuan felt shaken when they stood here.
Obviously, what he promised was not something that was unobtainable for Qingyuan and Ning Chen.
But coming from such mental fluctuations makes people very yearning.
It was as if what he could give them was what they had been pursuing all their lives.
Ning Chen directly used his awe-inspiring righteousness to defeat the so-called temptation, while Qingyuan used Mahayana Buddhism to defeat all temptations.
Ning Chen looked at the mole and said, "I do know, what did the Buddha seal in his kind thoughts?"
Qingyuan looked at Ning Chen and said, "What?"
"Obsession!"
Ning Chen said.
Qingyuan was stunned for a moment, then understood immediately, and then nodded: "Yes, this should be the Buddha's obsession."
Ning Chen looked at the Buddha sitting cross-legged below and said: "The Buddha's good thoughts are still smart. He knows that taking away his evil thoughts and leaving such obsessions behind will do the greatest damage to the world.
On the contrary, if you take away your obsessions and leave only your evil thoughts, the damage will be much smaller."
Qingyuan also strongly agreed with Ning Chen's analysis.
People in this world are not afraid of having evil thoughts, but what they are most afraid of is having evil obsessions.
After Ning Chen made his evaluation, he then sneered and said, "But even so, it doesn't wash away his sins at all.
Moreover, his benevolent thoughts may have been shaken back then, so he took away his obsession now.
Instead of directly destroying obsessions and evil thoughts while good thoughts are strong.
Even his good thoughts are not even sure to suppress his evil thoughts and good thoughts."
"Amitabha." Qingyuan recited the Buddha's name.
Obviously Qingyuan also agreed with Ning Chen's comments on the Buddha.
Everyone has inner demons, even Qingyuan was the same.
But Qingyuan can guarantee that his good intentions will always have the upper hand.
At the same time, no matter what evil thoughts or obsessions arise, Qingyuan will strangle them to death without hesitation.
Instead of keeping him and letting him continue to grow, it will eventually affect himself.
"Come and give him a ride." Ning Chen said to Qingyuan.
Qingyuan looked at Ning Chen in confusion and said: "Lord Buddha, don't you want to continue to understand the whole thing?"
Ning Chen shook his head: "After seeing this, I no longer need it."
After a pause, Ning Chen said: "If I have to summarize this matter, it would be that the Buddha has some kind thoughts, but not much."
Although these words were meant as a joke, Qingyuan felt that Ning Chen's summary was quite insightful.
The whole incident is obviously very clear at this point.
What violated the agreement between gods and demons was the good thoughts in Buddha's body.
Then, in order to avoid being punished, the kind thoughts in this body, with their own obsession, trapped themselves in the nineteenth level of hell forever.
On the one hand, he wanted to atone for his sins, and on the other hand, it was naturally due to the influence. He still thought about becoming a saint, thinking that after becoming a saint, he could solve all the problems.
pity.
His good intentions are really just a little bit kind.
"Please Lord Buddha help me!"
Qingyuan put his hands together and asked Ning Chen for help.
Ning Chen nodded, and then directly communicated with the holy path of Mahayana Buddhism, allowing the holy path of Mahayana Buddhism to emerge in the nineteen levels of hell.
Qingyuan sat cross-legged on the ground and began to recite Buddhist sutras constantly to transfer the Buddha's kind thoughts and obsessions in the nineteenth level of hell.
As time went by, the mole on the Buddha's forehead began to soften little by little.
At the same time, an angry and unwilling roar came from the mole.
At the same time, it is still making all kinds of unrealistic promises crazily.
Let Ning Chen and Qingyuan be surrounded by illusions.
These illusions are what everyone desires most in their hearts.
Under such illusions, if you are a weak-minded person, you will definitely be defeated and choose to surrender.
But for Ning Chen and Qingyuan, such a little illusion really won't make them collapse.
What's more, they now have the help of Mahayana Buddhism.
Such an illusion cannot make them feel any inner sway at all.
After about a day or so, the mole finally melted completely.
Even the obsession in the mole completely disappeared.
After losing his obsession, the Buddha's kind thoughts quickly disintegrated like quicksand.
When Ning Chen saw such a scene, he still felt a bit ironic. Even these kind thoughts must be supported by obsession.
There is indeed a bit of such kind thoughts, but not much.
After solving the Nineteenth Level of Hell, Qingyuan also finished his work and stood up.
After Qingyuan stood up, Ning Chen looked at Qingyuan and said, "What are you going to do with this space? Should you continue to preserve it, or destroy it directly?"
Qingyuan clasped his hands together and said, "Do you want to keep it, poor monk?"
Ning Chen looked at Qingyuan and said, "You should be very clear that your great wish is to become a Buddha until hell is empty.
If I help you destroy this place now, then you can become a Buddha directly?"
Qingyuan said calmly: "If this is the case, what is the difference between a poor monk and a Buddha or a great wisdom?"
Ning Chen nodded: "Yes, you are much better than them. Even if you cannot become a Buddha, your future achievements will be much greater than them?"
"The poor monk is just doing what he thinks is right. The poor monk does not seek any so-called merit."
What Ning Chen disliked the most was Qingyuan like this, so Ning Chen decisively said to Qingyuan: "Okay, let's go back. From now on, you will be in charge of taking care of this place."
After Ning Chen and Qingyuan came out of hell, they appeared again in the Buddhist temple where they came from.
"I'll leave the affairs here to you. If you need anything, you can come to me." Ning Chen said to Qingyuan.
Qingyuan put his hands together and said, "Best farewell to Lord Buddha."
Looking at the Buddha's light on his body, Qingyuan was obviously twice as powerful as before entering hell. Ning Chen felt that Qingyuan had really matured.
He is no longer persistent and must welcome himself back to the Western Region.
At the beginning, Qingyuan was very persistent and allowed himself to live in the Western Region.
Now I can say goodbye to myself calmly. Qingyuan's cultivation of Buddhism is really becoming more and more mature.
Ning Chen turned into a stream of light and headed towards Fengjing.
Ning Chen promised Wu Zhao that when he returned from the Western Regions, he would go directly to Fengjing to meet Wu Zhao.
Now Ning Chen is going to Fengjing to meet Wu Zhao.
Two days later, Ning Chen came directly to the palace.
Ning Chen has the jade token of the palace formation given by Wu Zhao.
With this jade token, Ning Chen can move freely through the formations in the palace.
With just a brief induction, Ning Chen discovered where Wu Zhao was.
After communicating spiritually with Sun Banban, Sun Banban immediately understood.
Dismissed all the idle people in the room.
When there was no one else in the room, Ning Chen appeared directly in front of Wu Zhao.
"Your Majesty, why are you not surprised at all when you see me?" Ning Chen looked at Wu Zhao and asked curiously.
Wu Zhao said angrily: "Do you think I am blind? Sun Banban sent everyone away. Do you think Sun Banban is planning to harm me?"
Facing such a cold and smart Wu Zhao, it is really difficult to create any romance and surprises.
"Is your injury still okay?" After hesitating, Wu Zhao opened his mouth and asked Ning Chen.
Ning Chen heard Wu Zhao's concern and said with a smile: "Your Majesty really cares about me."
Then Ning Chen patted his strong chest and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, nothing will happen to me. You see, I am in good health now and it will not affect my marriage and having children at all."
When Wu Zhao mentioned getting married and having children, his cheeks turned red quickly.
But it quickly disappeared.
"How was your trip to the Western Regions?" In order to avoid Ning Chen discovering his embarrassment, Wu Zhao forcibly changed the subject to a normal topic.
Ning Chen did not continue to embarrass Wu Zhao, but began to talk about some situations during his trip to the Western Regions.
Ning Chen recounted to Wu Zhao in detail what he saw and heard in the 19th level of hell.
After hearing what Ning Chen said, Wu Zhao didn't expect that there was such a secret space in the Western Region.
"Although what you said is a joke, it is not bad. Buddha is indeed kind, but there is not much kindness." Wu Zhao still agreed with Ning Chen's summary.
"Please explain this matter to the Marquis and Prince Jing later. I still have some memorials to approve." Wu Zhao said to Ning Chen.
Since Wu Zhao had serious business, Ning Chen did not mess around, but went aside to contact Marquis Dingguo and Prince Jing.
