Chapter 926 The Myth Reappears
"All dead, all dead..."
Meng Qi and others were planning to use the obsession of Dangshan Jun and the white-haired monster to find out what happened in Lingshan in the past. As a result, two completely different monsters actually uttered such a soliloquy at the same time. You know, one of them is Lingshan. The corpse of the monk was covered with white hair, and one was a monster that was about to condense into the true form of the Heavenly Serpent. Different perspectives, different camps, and different identities left behind similar obsessions, and he uttered words that were equally confused and frightening. , how can people not be creepy, how can they not be frightened by what changes happened in Lingshan?
It was a massive killing spree by both sides. Buddhas and Bodhisattvas passed into nirvana, and great saints and monsters fell. The aura of tragic death from legends and even higher realms swept through Lingshan, forever changing the laws of heaven and earth, and allowing both Dangshan Lord and Lingshan monks to experience eternal life before they died. Was it an unforgettable shock, or was there really an unexpected change that shocked them so much that they couldn't believe it until they died, unable to let it go, so that they still had obsessions for who knows how many years?
Meng Qi held the scabbard in his left hand, and a ray of light flashed through his eyes like a dead volcano. The remaining obsessions of Dangshan Jun and Lingshan monk suddenly exploded, like fireworks in full bloom, illuminating the mid-air and forming a cloud. A blurry picture.
Their souls have long since dispersed, and the sea of their souls has dried up. Like the living dead, they cannot awaken the memory of past reincarnations or the bits and pieces of their experiences in this life to restore the truth of the Battle of Lingshan. They can only see their deepest impression through obsession. A few pictures of!
The water curtain is hazy and the light is dense. There are only two pictures condensed by the Lingshan monk's obsession: one is the overwhelming demon clan rushing into Lingshan, and his eyes are focused on a bird wearing gold chain armor and walking on lotus roots. On the giant golden monkey walking on clouds and wearing a purple gold crown with phoenix wings on his head, he carried the golden hoop on his shoulders, looking forward to the power, being unruly and arrogant; one picture is what he saw before his death, the boundless darkness spread, One after another, dark figures squirmed and struggled.
Dangshanjun's obsession only formed a picture, the void was broken like glass, layer by layer, and the darkness mixed with terrifying and strange black shadows was like a tide, submerging it.
The "fireworks" have extinguished, and the bits of glitz are swaying down. The obsession of Dangshan Jun and Lingshan monk has completely dissipated.
The scene they saw was beyond the expectations of Meng Qi and others. It was not the death of ten thousand Buddhas, nor the fall of demons, but a scene of the Nine Netherworld descending and hell reappearing!
"Did a third-party force take advantage of the battle at Lingshan in the past?" Jiang Zhi expressed her doubts and speculations with her eyebrows as dark as daisy but not showing any signs of weakness.
Meng Qi stood still for two breaths and then spoke slowly: "The Demon Saint led the crowd to Lingshan after the fall of Heaven, and before that the Demon Lord had already fallen. The remaining evil gods and demons such as the Tiansha Taoist in Jiuyou are not from the other side. It is unlikely that they are from the other side. The Demon Saint was unable to protect some important allies and subordinates..."
Taking a step back, even if Taoist Tiansha made a breakthrough, according to records, he was beaten back to Jiuyou by the Demon Saint with the Demonless Holy Spear while holding the Dark Sea Sword. There was quite a gap in strength between the two sides.
"In short, this is a possibility that cannot be ruled out. We will wait and see." Zhao Heng said.
After the obsession subsided, Dangshanjun's body quickly turned into mud and pus. In this strange spiritual mountain, the tyrannical body that was supposed to be incorruptible began to decay!
Meng Qi's expression was calm, and the long knife held in his left hand was still hidden in the sheath, as if it had been dusty years. He took steps and continued to move forward. Jiang Zhiwei walked side by side with him, while Zhao Heng and Ruan Yushu were a few steps behind.
The further you go, the cracks in the void that tear apart everything and swallow up King Kong become more and more dense, and the passable road becomes narrower and narrower.
From time to time, the wind blows away the flesh and melts the bones, and separates the soul. Zhao Heng's imperial robe flies out with a little black and yellow light, turning into a real dragon coiled around. Ruan Yushu's and Jiang Zhiwei's fairy robes and heavenly clothes also have strange phenomena, and they are dense. Soaring into the sky, the glow was shining brightly, blocking the howling of the almost samadhi wind.
Meng Qi's green shirt was swaying, his hair was floating, his face was as heavy as water, and his eyes were as silent as night, neither pale nor radiant. He just walked forward in an ordinary way, as if this was a common trend.
The road was winding and long. The four of them had no idea how long they had walked and how high they had climbed. They were surrounded by zombie-like Bodhisattvas, Arhats, and great demons and gods, and they moved forward without any danger.
As I walked, a Buddhist temple suddenly appeared in front of me. Although everything I saw along the way collapsed, it was basically intact. The tiles were glazed, the bricks were gold, and they reflected the light of thunder. It was as beautiful as a fairy palace.
And at the entrance of the Buddha Temple, a huge dark golden figure sat cross-legged!
Meng Qi and Jiang Zhiwei stopped almost as soon as they spotted this figure. With a clang, Jiang Zhiwei's long sword let out a dragon's roar and lay across the front.
This figure resembles an old man, with a dark golden body and long eyebrows that extend out of his face. He wears a golden cassock, holds his fists in his hands, and has a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. It seems to contain the truth of the world, and all kinds of impermanence, which makes people There is an inexplicable feeling of realizing the true meaning of Buddhist Zen.
There are no cracks in the sky around the Buddhist temple, and the flowers bloom and fall endlessly behind the dark golden figure. When the flowers bloom, each flower has a piece of pure land, and the whole universe can see the smile full of Zen. When it falls, everything becomes silent.
The dark gold figure is there, as if sitting in the center of countless universes and pure lands.
Flowers bloom and fall of their own accord.
Without any other thoughts, just a preliminary induction, Meng Qi was sure that this was the remains of a legendary power. The dark golden figure in front of him was either a Buddha, a great Bodhisattva, or a great Arhat!
The illusory golden Buddha's shadow can only be manifested when he uses "Only Oneself", but now he has truly come to reality?
Jiang Zhiwei, Ruan Yushu and Zhao Heng had just had similar thoughts when they heard Meng Qi say:
"It's Lord Kasyapa..."
Yes, this is Mahakasyapa, the first of the ten disciples of Buddha!
He is a great Arhat, and is known as the Saha Pure Land together with Ananda. He is one of the two most likely candidates to inherit the Taoism after the death of Buddha. The allusion of "Buddha picked up flowers and Kasyapa smiled" is famous in all circles. He is the ancestor of Zen. The nominal source of inheritance in Shaolin Temple, the Dharmakaya demonstrated by holding the flower finger is the Dharmakaya of Kasyapa.
The people standing on both sides of the Buddha statue are either Manjushri and Samantabhadra, or Kasyapa and Ananda, which shows that their status in the Saha Pure Land is better than that of many Buddhas, just like Avalokitesvara, Mahasthamaprapta and Glazed Pure Land in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. Sunlight, Moonlight Bodhisattva, etc.
Based on previous inferences, Meng Qi suspected that Kassapa, like Ananda, had entered the last stage of suffering and had achieved destiny, but had not yet achieved the power of Buddhahood!
——The distinction between various golden bodies and Tao bodies certified by the Dharmakaya mainly refers to the limits that may be reached in the future. For example, the Tathagata's golden body and the original true body point directly to the other shore, and even have the hope of attaining the path and fruition. Amitabha's Dharmakaya, Bodhi's golden body, The Lingbao Taoist Body and the Tai Chi Moral Body are almost as different from them. Kasyapa Dharmakaya, the Great Compassionate and Great Compassion Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva's golden body, etc. are directly related to the legend, maybe even higher. The ordinary Bodhisattva's golden body can at most step into the heavenly realm, and the Arhat's golden body can be the most Earth Immortal, if you want to make more breakthroughs, you need to enlighten yourself through Buddhism and sublimate your golden body, or accumulate small wishes into big ones step by step, and use the method of great wishes to ascend.
Of course, when the Tathagata's golden body and the Arhat's golden body are in the same human fairyland, there will be a huge gap in magical power, magical powers, martial arts, etc. This is a quality advantage.
"Venerable Kassapa..." Jiang Zhiwei, Ruan Yushu and Zhao Heng sensed it and left, feeling a little shocked. Is this Venerable Kassapa?
Mahakasyapa?
The illusory characters that only existed in myths and legends or ancient Buddhist scriptures before have truly appeared in front of themselves and others!
Although I had long known that going deep into Lingshan Mountain would lead to similar encounters, when I actually encountered it, I still had a dream-like feeling, and I was suddenly transported back to the mythical era from the present!
They had no doubts about Meng Qi's statement, not only because the flowers blooming and falling communicated with different universes and pure lands, but also because the characteristics of Venerable Kassapa were very obvious. He had his hands clasped in fists, not clasped together!
It is said that Venerable Kassapa's past body had great merits and virtues because he worshiped the Buddha. This body had great light, which easily affected other people's sight and perception. Therefore, he clenched his fists to cover the light. This not only showed compassion for others, but also did not compete with the Buddha. Moreover, it also has the Zen "heart-to-heart connection" , the meaning is passed down from heart to heart, without establishing words, and is passed on to other people."
When the myths of the past appeared before their eyes, Jiang Zhiwei and the others felt a sense of awe. Only Meng Qi's face was calm and his eyes were deep, still showing all kinds of emotions.
"I didn't expect that Venerable Kasyapa also passed away in Lingshan. I was afraid that only the Demon Saint and Ananda escaped..." Zhao Heng sighed.
What happened then?
Moreover, the golden body of Lord Kassapa is the only one along the road that has not been entangled by the energy of death and has not been corrupted!
Suddenly, Jiang Zhi slightly let out a sigh: "His back!"
Meng Qi looked up, his eyes heavy and nothing special, but he naturally "saw" Moko Kasyapa's back. There was a huge palm print right in the center, embedded in dark gold, filled with all things. The meaning of impermanence spread into the golden body, eliminating all vitality.
This is Kasyapa’s fatal wound!
Who gave him the fatal blow?
At this moment, two tears suddenly fell from Kasyapa's smiling eyes!
They are as crystal clear as glass and not stained by any dust. They are not like the blood and tears on the faces of the zombies of Arhat and Bodhisattva, but rather like tears that were about to be shed eons ago and are now being impacted by the outside atmosphere and finally shed.
Is it flowing for the destruction of the Pure Land and the Nirvana of Ten Thousand Buddhas, or is it flowing for itself?
Tears slid down the dark golden face, across the huge golden body, and fell into the dust. The surrounding flowers were completely extinguished and no longer bloomed!
Meng Qi suddenly sensed extreme danger. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the sound of Jiang Zhiwei's sword and saw Venerable Kassapa's clasped hands suddenly open.
Great merit, great light, the sun shines on this place, like a tide drowning Meng Qi and others, making Meng Qi no longer able to sense other things, and can no longer see things outside of himself.
He held the handle of the knife with his right hand and seemed to want to pull it out, but finally held back.
The light dissipated and Meng Qi had changed his position. In front of him was not a Buddhist temple but a cliff. Jiang Zhiwei, Ruan Yushu and Zhao Heng were all missing.
Separated by the remaining power of the legend?
Meng Qi's heart moved, he turned around, walked step by step, and quickly shuttled through the terrifying and dangerous dark cracks, looking for Jiang Zhiwei and others while heading deeper.
An Arhat's golden body suddenly turned around and struck Meng Qi with a clenched fist. The void shook, the wind howled, and it formed a restraint, like a star truly shaking down.
The strong wind caught Meng Qi, but it was like a bubble. It couldn't be entangled or restrained, and there was always an irreducible distance between his fist and him.
Meng Qi moved forward quickly, avoiding the zombie arhats, zombie bodhisattvas, and zombie demon kings and gods that appeared. Their attacks were always a little too close, either they were so close, or they were destined to miss!
After running for a while, Meng Qi suddenly stopped because there was a huge dark gold figure blocking the way in front of him. There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and there were blossoming Brahma flowers under his feet. His eyes had no aura or sparkle. It was Jia. Venerable Ye’s great Arahant’s golden body!
Legend has it that it is even the golden body of the great power of creation!
Faced with this, Meng Qi suddenly sighed.
Sure enough, the man deep in the Lingshan Mountain had to force himself to use the knife in advance, and use up the knife that had been painstakingly polished for ten years.
