After the "elder brother" left, darkness and deathly silence returned to the depths of the cave. If someone's eyes could penetrate the darkness, they could see that the Buddha's meditating lips had been moving up and down silently.
Co-authored and recited the scriptures over and over again.www
For six months, he did not get any food from this meditation, and the only thing he could put into his mouth was the water droplets seeping from the cave ceiling. However, his piety and extremely firm belief in the Buddha made him still persevere.
Suddenly, faint footsteps came from the long and narrow passage at the entrance. The Zen practitioner began to think that he was hallucinating, but the increasingly clear voices told him that this was definitely not a hallucination!
The footsteps were heavy and slow, but with a kind of determination and calmness, giving this Zen practitioner a strong sense of hope. He heard clearly that these were not the footsteps of the "elder brother" who had just left!
His eyes were fixed on the direction of the cave entrance. He got closer and closer. A faint light appeared. Along with the "dong dong" footsteps that shook the cave, a strong figure appeared at the entrance of the cave.
This man was dressed in ferocious black armor covered with spikes, with a skull mask on his face, and a faint black light emitting from his body, making him as terrifying as a soul seducer from hell.
The Zen cultivator showed no sign of fear at all. His eyes lit up and his lips trembled a little. Behind the head of this man in ferocious black armor, a yellow halo as big as a wheel clearly appeared!
Buddha's light!
In the eyes of this meditator, the halo behind Lin Qing's head is clearly the "Buddha's light" that can only be possessed by Buddhist masters with advanced cultivation and proficiency in Buddhist principles!
Not only that, he felt a hint of sacred aura on the man in black armor. This aura had nothing to do with the level of cultivation. It could only be felt by eminent monks who were profound in Buddhism.
I feel it occasionally.
This Buddhist monk, who had experienced all kinds of torture and even had his body pierced by several iron chains without changing his expression, was shocked. Then two lines of hot tears flowed from his sunken eye sockets.
"Amitabha! It's really the black-armored divine general! The Buddha really sent a divine general to save me!"
This Buddhist monk was obviously extremely devoted to Buddhism. He even wanted to stand up and salute regardless of the iron chains he was wearing.
At this time, the skull mask of the man who came in slowly rose, revealing a simple and square face. What surprised the Buddhist Zen practitioner was that this man turned out to be a young man!
"I'm not a black-armored general. My name is Lin Qing. I'm just a Qi practitioner. Hmm, why are you locked up here? Do you need my help?"
The young man replied with an honest face. He also wanted to scratch his head with his hands out of habit, but he touched the spikes on his helmet and smiled sheepishly at the Buddhist monk.
Before entering the cave and showing up, Lin Qing thought a lot. Since the Buddhist Zen practitioner dreamed that a black-armored god general would come to save him, of course he had to take advantage of this.
Coincidentally, his "Soldier Victory Armor" happens to be black, and it is a spiritual weapon-level defensive weapon. It looks majestic when worn on his body. After inputting mana, it emits a shimmering black light. He is somewhat of a god general in himself.
style.
In order to complete the scene, Lin Qing specially used magic to create a yellow halo behind his head to impersonate the "Buddha's Light" recorded in the classics.
The spell he casts with his earth spiritual roots is originally yellowish brown. By making the density of his spiritual power thinner, it becomes the kind of yellow light that is very confusing. However, it is quite difficult to draw a circle with magic power.
, not to mention that it takes a lot of effort to keep the aperture size constant.
Fortunately, Lin Qing's spiritual consciousness, which was practicing the "God Tempering Technique", was powerful and precise. He was able to perform small spells such as these that seemed simple but were actually impossible for monks in the foundation-building stage to complete.
There were also the deliberately aggravated footsteps and the shaking feeling that almost collapsed the cave. They were all effects deliberately created by Lin Qingan's spell.
But what even Lin Qing didn't know was that the Buddhist Zen cultivator actually felt a trace of sacred aura from him, and this was the real reason why this person mistook him for the black-armored god general!
As for whether to continue pretending to be a black-armored general after meeting such a Buddhist Zen cultivator, Lin Qing decided to use his best method of pretending to be stupid to deal with it. After all, he knew nothing about those Buddhist things.
If you try to pretend, it will only be full of flaws.
Seeing the black-armored young man denying his identity as a divine general, the Buddhist Zen practitioner stared at the young man up and down with suspicion, but he clearly felt a clearer sense of holiness. His cultivation level was already equivalent to that of the golden general.
Qi practitioners in the Dan stage can naturally distinguish which feelings are real and which are hallucinations.
At this time, the yellow halo behind the black-armored boy's head had slowly faded and then disappeared. His armor was also as black as ink, and no trace of black light could be seen anymore.
He hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively: "The poor monk's name is Zhi Ai. May I ask if the little donor is a layman?"
A lay practitioner refers to a person who believes in Buddhism but has not become a monk. Since the young man in front of him has already identified himself as a Qi practitioner, the monk named Zhi Ai will certainly no longer think that this young man is also a monk of the Buddhist sect, so he thought
Ask this young man if he is a Buddhist.
Lin Qing just deliberately dispersed the yellow halo behind him and the black light on the armor because he was afraid that the monk named Zhi Ai would see his flaws over time. Although this monk was seriously injured and his cultivation was half-finished, he could still defeat Lord Yue after all.
master.
At this moment, when Zhi Zhi asked angrily, Lin Qing looked confused: "What does 'lay scholar' mean? I am not a 'lay scholar'."
Zhi Ai asked again: "Has the little benefactor ever studied Buddhism or practiced the techniques of our Buddhist sect?"
After the Buddhist sect was eliminated, its religious inheritance was still spread in various scattered temples, and the Buddhist sect's exercises were only spread among the people. Zhi Ai pinned his hope that this young man would practice Buddhism on his own and become enlightened.
.
The characteristic of Buddhism is that it is easy to get started but difficult to practice. Its scriptures and exercises have a very low starting point. They do not need to be taught by a dedicated person. If a master leads you, if you have enough understanding, you can practice the Tao by yourself.
In the history of Buddhism, there have been several ordinary monks who copied scriptures in the Sutra Pavilion, and they actually understood the supreme skills without any teachers and became super masters who reached the heavens.
If the young man in front of him is in this situation, it is not difficult to explain why he has a sacred aura and a Buddhist light behind his head. Although he has endured a lot of hardships during this trip, it will be worth it if he can find such a genius and bring him back to the sect.
Lin Qing replied with a confused look:
"I have heard of Buddhism, but I have never read its scriptures, nor have I practiced your Buddhist exercises. Since last night, I have always wanted to come to Zhuxin Temple to take a look.
After I got there, I always wanted to go into this cave to have a look, as if someone was dragging me over from the front, so I came here to see you."
Originally, when Zhi Ai heard the first half of Lin Qing's words, he had already become disheartened, thinking that what he just saw might be a coincidence, but the second half of Lin Qing's words immediately made his heart feel like a residual fire pouring oil, and he suddenly
Emotions were rising.
He murmured to himself overjoyed: "Yes, that's right. This black-armored young man must have been guided by Buddha to come to such a hidden place in the mountain to save me. Amitabha, Buddha is merciful,
Buddha is compassionate!”
"Who are you? Why are you locked here?" Seeing that his arrangement had taken effect, Lin Qing smiled secretly in his heart, but still pretended to be confused.
Zhi Ai hurriedly replied:
"The poor monk is a Buddhist Zen practitioner. He came to Zhuxin Temple when he was traveling. He wanted to discuss Buddhism with the abbot of the temple, 'Yue Zun', but he didn't know that all the monks in the temple were sycophants who worshiped evil gods.
They poisoned me with medicine and locked me here, hoping to force me to hand over the Buddhist cultivation method. The young donor is a person with deep connections with Buddha, so he came here under the guidance of Buddha. If he can be saved
It is indeed a great merit for a poor monk to escape from poverty."
The Buddhist sect has been extinct in Zhongtian Continent for thousands of years. The origin of this wise monk is also very mysterious. He has a special mission and it is not appropriate to reveal his identity as a Buddhist Zen cultivator. However, under Lin Qing's trick,
Then, he had other ideas and no longer wanted to hide his identity.
Lin Qing asked deliberately and tentatively:
"I don't care about merit and virtue. I heard people say that the Buddhist sect has ceased to exist a long time ago. Although there are many Buddhist temples in the sixteen countries of the human race, they are not affiliated with each other. Why do you still talk about the Buddhist sect and keep silent about the Buddhist sect?"
The wise monk smiled with a profound look on his face and said:
"My Buddha is compassionate and loves all living beings! The Buddha's Dharma is vast and boundless, how can it disappear? My Buddha has always existed in this world, but ordinary people may not be able to see it because they are clumsy and blessed! This poor monk is traveling around in the world.
I want more ordinary people to feel the kindness of Buddha..."
Seeing that the wise and angry monk not only did not tell the current situation of the Buddhist sect, but also started to brainwash himself, Lin Qing hurriedly cut off his words and said:
"The people in this Zhuxin Temple imprison women. It's filthy and messy. It's really not a place for good people to stay. Since you're locked up here by bad people, you must not be with them. I'm here to help you get rid of this chain."
Cut off, get you out."
After Lin Qing finished speaking, he walked to Zhi'an's side, grabbed an iron rope with both hands, and tried to pull it off, but failed after the first try, and then realized that it was not an ordinary iron rope!
Seeing this, Nazhi Ai smiled bitterly and said:
"This kind of chain is made from a variety of alloys, and it uses the demon clan's weapon refining techniques. The demonic energy inside is endless and flowing, eroding the body of the poor monk all the time. Otherwise,
If so, even if a few chains are worn in vital parts, how can they lock a poor monk!"
After listening to Zhi Ai's words, Lin Qing discovered that the demonic power that he had experienced before was slowly being generated on these chains, and then flowed to Zhi Ai's wound.
Unexpectedly, these seemingly ordinary chains can actually be magic weapons that can automatically generate magic energy. No wonder Zhi Ai is trapped here despite his cultivation.
