Chapter 217 The two brothers in torment
Li Xiuchang speculated that his Tao of Equality was consistent with the teachings of Buddhism in some aspects, which led to the Tao of Equality being recognized as "Buddhist Dharma".
When he was in his twenties, he had even understood the Tao Heart of Ping Ping Dao. If his level of understanding of Ping Ping Tao is equal to his understanding of Buddhism, then he is indeed profound in Buddhism.
Orthodox Buddhist practice involves cultivating the body externally and cultivating the Dharma internally. Only by cultivating both internally and externally can one become a Buddha.
Li Xiuchang only cultivates the physical body and does not practice Buddhism.
But if the Tao of Equality can be roughly equal to the Buddha Dharma, then it can also be roughly equal to the Buddhist practice of cultivating both internal and external aspects.
Li Xiuchang finally understood the origin of the shadow of the Buddha sitting on the lotus platform above his head.
The phantom of the Buddha comes from his fourth-level Buddhist body training, which should be unique among his peers.
The shadow on the lotus platform comes from the enlightenment of equality that has been distorted into Buddhism.
As a result, he became a "Buddhist" who excelled both internally and externally.
"It seems that the requirement to enter this entrance is that you must have one of three things: physical training, Dharma, and merit, but I am the only one who has two of them."
As for other Buddhist practices, they only account for one, which is related to the common practice ideas of Buddhist practices.
Buddhist practice generally involves cultivating the body first and then the mind.
First, you should improve your physical body. After reaching a certain level, your progress will slow down, and then you can start studying Buddhism.
There are only a handful of people who can do both at the same time.
Behind Li Xiuchang, the Buddhist cultivators who came in behind them also quickly stepped forward to catch up with them.
In the hearts of these Buddhist cultivators, Li Xiuchang and Mo Tu are both great powers in the upper realm. If they follow them, they can get some protection in case of danger.
The corridor at the entrance was neither long nor short. When more than twenty people reached the end, a large hall suddenly opened up in front of them.
The space of this main hall, plus the moderately long corridor in front, is already larger than the head of the reclining Buddha statue.
Obviously, the inside of the Buddha's head is its own space.
Right in front of the main hall is a huge golden Buddha statue, with a solemn appearance but a compassionate face.
The golden Buddha is so lifelike, as if he is just meditating with his eyes closed and may open his eyes at any time.
On the ground in front of the Buddha, there are twenty-eight futons.
Li Xiuchang turned around and counted, there were exactly twenty-eight of them.
But the placement of this futon also has something to say.
There are only two futons placed in the first row closest to the golden Buddha.
There are six futons in the second row, and the remaining futons are placed in the third row.
Obviously, the two futons at the front were prepared for Li Xiuchang and Motu.
The six futons in the second row are for the six Buddhist cultivators who have the vision of a lotus platform on their heads. Needless to say, the rest of the futons are there.
We said that all living beings are equal, so why are you still ranked third, sixth or ninth?
Li Xiuchang complained in his mind, and he and Senior Brother Motu walked directly to the two futons in the first row and sat down.
The other Buddhist cultivators also took their seats one after another, and there was no dispute over seats.
After everyone sat down, the golden Buddha suddenly opened its eyes.
For a moment, Li Xiuchang and others seemed to have fallen into a dream.
Some information is transmitted to their minds through dreams.
After a while, everyone opened their eyes one after another, looked left and right, and communicated with each other the information they had just received in their dreams.
Everyone's faces were filled with confusion and confusion.
They figured out the function of this space. It was a trial space, used to test them.
But what they didn't understand was that in the dream just now, there was a disembodied voice saying something: "Congratulations on coming here through many difficulties. Next, you will face the final test..."
What difficulties are there?
When did this happen?
Everyone looked confused.
Li Xiuchang and Mo Tu vaguely guessed something.
This may be an opportunity such as the inheritance left by a certain powerful person. That powerful person has set up layers of checkpoints and a whole set of processes to select the final destined person.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Wanzhi forced the last hurdle to open in advance.
Everyone ran to the map of the last level before they even found where the first level map was.
But it doesn’t matter, usually the good stuff will be at the last level.
From the information just received, we can know that they will be isolated and receive targeted training.
Those who have the phantom of Buddha on their head will receive training in Buddhism.
The person with the shadow of the lotus platform above his head will receive training in body refining.
To put it simply, make up for whatever is missing.
For someone like Li Xiuchang who is good at everything, he just needs to make up for both and make further progress.
A person like Motu, who is bad at everything, still learns two "lessons" at the same time.
And this training process is actually a test and a competition.
In the same amount of time, people who make greater progress will receive more resources.
Those who make little progress may even be terminated early and eliminated from the competition.
The futons under everyone suddenly lit up with Buddha's light. The next moment, twenty-eight people disappeared out of thin air, and only twenty-eight futons remained in place.
Not long after Li Xiuchang and others disappeared, new people entered the hall one after another, and correspondingly, there were a corresponding number of futons in the hall.
On the futons of Li Xiuchang and others, there is a layer of Buddha's light that blocks them, preventing others from getting close.
…
When Li Xiuchang opened his eyes, he found himself in the middle of an open space.
"It seems that I need to train my body first."
Li Xiuchang closed his eyes, and the Vajra Dharma slowly appeared behind him.
He absorbed the spiritual energy around him and integrated it into his blood. At the same time, he mobilized the blood around him to flush the bones of his whole body to achieve the effect of slowly refining the marrow.
Li Xiuchang soon realized that the spiritual energy here contained some special energy, which could improve the effect of his marrow refining.
"It seems that this is the benefit of this test."
With the integration of this special energy, the efficiency of body refining has increased a lot.
For other Buddhist practitioners, they might have been satisfied, but Li Xiuchang was used to "adding points". This speed of practice was no less than a torture for him.
"If you want to get more resources, you have to progress faster, faster than others!"
Li Xiuchang distractedly controlled one of his fourth-level puppets. He took a bottle of Arhat tree juice he had just obtained, found a smaller tray, and poured the Arhat tree juice into the tray.
Then he added points to the Arhat tree juice.
With a large amount of Arhat tree juice obtained after adding points, Li Xiuchang smeared the gelatinous juice on the surface of his body and continued to refine the marrow.
With the special energy provided by this space and the help of the Arhat tree sap, Li Xiuchang's body refining speed soared.
After a while, Li Xiuchang clearly felt that there was more special energy in the surrounding spiritual energy.
It seems that his improvement speed has surpassed many people and has received resources.
However, Li Xiuchang also found that the effect of the Arhat tree sap is not as obvious as the previous use of the beast king bone powder and blood bodhi fruit.
In the past, taking the beast king bone powder and blood bodhi fruit puree, the effect was immediate. Taking it once a day, the body refining cultivation level increased.
But the Arhat tree sap is more of an auxiliary role, and it cannot directly promote his body refining cultivation level. It just makes him more effective when he refines his marrow.
This is also related to the fact that it is more difficult to improve his cultivation level after he entered the fourth level of body refining.
No matter which path you practice, the higher the cultivation level, the more difficult it is to improve, and the less the effect of external objects.
Li Xiuchang thought that even if he could add points to obtain inexhaustible Arhat tree sap in the future, he still had to slowly refine his marrow by himself. No matter how fast he was, it would take at least ten or twenty years.
This was already unreasonably fast for others, equivalent to more than ten years from the initial Nascent Soul cultivation to the peak of the Nascent Soul.
But Li Xiuchang still thought it was too slow.
Unless he directly added points to the Dharma, he could shorten the process.
But now there is a good opportunity.
The special energy mixed in the spiritual energy of this space is better than the Arhat tree sap, but the concentration is still too low.
If there is a large amount of this special energy supply, so much that it explodes, it will definitely greatly promote his marrow refining progress!
Li Xiuchang felt that he had to find a way to get more resources and get more special energy.
How to do it?
Of course, it is to further speed up the marrow refining speed!
The faster the progress, the greater the resource tilt, this is the rule of this test.
Li Xiuchang has now reached his fastest marrow refining speed, and it can't be faster.
There is only one way, that is to add points to the Vajra Dharma!
Nothing is faster than adding points!
Li Xiuchang looked at the Vajra Dharma behind him, which was as wide as the front and side, and silently added an inch of length.
The progress of marrow refining soared a little!
After a moment, a huge amount of special energy rushed towards Li Xiuchang!
Li Xiuchang was overjoyed and quickly absorbed these special energies to assist himself in marrow refining.
Although marrow refining with these special energies is not as effective as adding points directly, it is also very amazing!
The key is that in this way, a lot of length can be saved.
If you want to complete marrow refining by adding points alone, I don’t know how much length it will take. Li Xiuchang’s more than 500 inches of length may not be enough.
Next, Li Xiuchang began to use three prongs at the same time, relying on the arhat tree sap, special energy, and adding points to refine the marrow.
Every once in a while, he added an inch to the Vajra Dharma, obtained a large amount of resource tilt, and obtained a huge amount of special energy.
When the special energy was almost absorbed, he added another inch, and so on...
Because of his accumulated progress, the special energy given by this test space was also increasing...
After an unknown number of days, Li Xiuchang broke through to the middle stage of the fourth stage of physical training without any obstacles.
Calculating the length he used, it was less than fifty inches!
At this time, the special energy provided by the test space to him had reached its limit, and even if Li Xiuchang added more, he could not increase the supply.
But the special energy given at this time was completely enough.
Li Xiuchang basically did not need to add more, just concentrate on absorbing the special energy and continue to refine the marrow.
Li Xiuchang was here to take advantage of the test space, and he was happy to do so, but he did not know that his two brothers were in a bad mood at this time and were suffering.
Zhang Wanzhi stood stupidly on the head of the reclining Buddha stone statue, waiting for Li Xiuchang and the others to come out. He thought that he had spent so much effort to open the entrance, but he could not get in, as if it was a door specially opened for Motu and Li Xiuchang.
The key is that he still stood stupidly outside waiting for those two guys.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got!
What he didn't know was that Motu was also in a bad mood.
Motu was trapped in a space full of special energy, which made him absorb it to refine his body. At the same time, there was a voice that kept nagging in his ears, instilling some Buddhist teachings in him.
He was going crazy!
I am a demon cultivator! What kind of Buddhist body training should I practice? What kind of Buddhist teachings should I learn?
Motu's fists were hard.
He was already considering whether to smash this broken space and rush out.
