Chapter 298 If you don't tell me some secrets, you can't go back.

Chapter 298 If you don't tell me some secrets, you can't go back.

Li Xiuchang never thought that this trial ground would be opened in advance in this way.

Before Li Xiuchang entered the portal, Shi Tian also reminded him: "The purpose of this trial ground is to select Buddhist practitioners with greater potential. We will not guide your practice direction in any way. Just let go and choose the path that suits you best."

"Thank you, Brother Shi Tian."

Li Xiuchang thanked him and walked into the portal with bright Buddha light in front of him.

Watching Li Xiuchang's figure disappear, Zhang Wanzhi, who was waiting outside the door, chatted with Shi Tian again and also pulled Chen Changsheng in.

Chen Changsheng asked thoughtfully: "Master Shi Tian deliberately set up many tests to help potential Buddhist practitioners grow, but is it to explore new paths?"

Shi Tian looked at him deeply and nodded silently.

As expected... Chen Changsheng had guessed before that there might be something wrong with the top of Buddhism.

Therefore, the number of strong people at the top of Buddhism is scarce, and in the Pure Land Realm where Buddhism is the most prosperous, there are only a few strong people of the level of Fakong Fahua.

Now, we are taking great pains to cultivate Buddhist geniuses. The purpose is to let a large number of Buddhist geniuses give full play to their spirituality and open up new paths for Buddhism.

Everyone's path is different. With the development of a large number of talented Buddhist practitioners, perhaps a broad path will be found.

…

Li Xiuchang stepped into the door, his feet were soft and empty, as if he was walking in the clouds.

He found that there was only a small blank space behind him.

However, standing in this space, the power in his body was uncontrollably aroused, and his body surface was gradually covered with a layer of gold!

He spontaneously entered the "golden body" state.

Li Xiuchang had a vague guess: the real test might be in the origin world!

This trial space is just a springboard. Entering the origin world from here is the real trial.

Sure enough, when Li Xiuchang completely entered the golden body state, he immediately felt the attraction of the origin world.

He obediently entered the origin world.

As soon as he came in, what appeared in front of him was a Buddha statue interwoven with countless light spots!

"Is this test to directly comprehend the origin of Buddhism?"

Li Xiuchang was somewhat helpless. If that was the case, he really had no idea. He knew almost nothing about Buddhism, and could only touch upon the "Path of All Beings".

Just now, Shi Tian said that he would not give any guidance to his practice direction, and let him play freely.

But no matter how he played, it should at least be within the scope of Buddhism, right?

What should he do as a person who does not practice Buddhism?

At this moment, a thought from the origin of Buddhism was transmitted into his mind.

He immediately understood what the real test of this level was.

"Choose one of the small branches in the origin of Buddhism, accept the indoctrination of the Buddhist secret method of preaching, 'The Lotus of Buddha's Heart', and see how much you can comprehend?"

Li Xiuchang understood that although the secret method of preaching was powerful, it also depended on the acceptance of the recipient.

This level tests the acceptance ability.

Let you choose the branch of the avenue that you are best at and most interested in, and then indoctrinate to see how much you can retain.

"If that's all, I can give it a try."

Needless to say, Li Xiuchang would definitely choose the part about "equality of all beings" in the "Path of All Beings" branch.

After he chose the corresponding Buddhist origin, a child's voice rang in his ears.

It seemed like a six or seven-year-old child was reciting scriptures. If you listen carefully, you can recognize that he is actually preaching.

It's all about "Path of All Beings" and "Equality of All Beings".

Li Xiuchang tried hard to accept and understand, and gradually sank into it. He felt that it was so good that even an outsider like him could hear it.

He seemed to be in an open space. As the child preached, lotus flowers fell from the sky, and golden lotuses emerged from the ground...

Li Xiuchang's invisible "Heart of Ten Thousand Daos" was the condensation of his will of the "Equality Dao" that he had comprehended. At this time, the invisible Dao Heart suddenly became a tangible thing.

The Heart of Ten Thousand Daos took the shape of a small lotus.

As Li Xiuchang listened to the child's preaching and absorbed the nutrients from it, the small lotus transformed by the heart of the Ten Thousand Daos slowly bloomed and stood tall and graceful.

The Buddha's heart gave birth to a lotus. Li Xiuchang did not have a Buddha's heart, but his Dao heart did give birth to a lotus.

He was fascinated by the child's preaching until the child's voice stopped abruptly, and Li Xiuchang woke up.

"The Way of All Living Beings" and Li Xiuchang's "The Way of Equality" have many similarities, which benefited him a lot.

The Way of Equality madly absorbed the useful parts of it, and as for those thoughts that were inconsistent with his ideas and belonged to Buddhism and Taoism, he discarded them.

However, because the "Way of All Living Beings" and the "Way of Equality" are too compatible, there are actually not many parts that need to be discarded.

If the Way of Equality that Li Xiuchang is going to build in the future is compared to a machine, the "equality of all living beings" in the "Way of All Living Beings" is equivalent to some parts of this machine that can be perfectly adapted.

This level tests the ability to accept. If Li Xiuchang chooses other branches of Buddhism and Taoism, he will definitely not be able to pass it.

Anyway, he has definitely passed the test and successfully accepted most of the content of the "Buddha Heart Lotus" preaching.

Moreover, the test itself is actually the biggest reward, allowing him to directly grasp some of the essence of the "Path of All Living Beings" and greatly improve the "Path of Equality".

He originally thought that after going through the first test, there would be a second test soon.

But he didn't expect a handsome little monk to suddenly appear.

Li Xiuchang felt that the little monk was very cute, and subconsciously wanted to pinch his face, but he knew very well that the little monk who could appear in the origin world could not be just an ordinary child.

So he held back.

Fortunately, he held back.

The little monk suddenly spoke, and his voice was childish, exactly the same as the voice of preaching that Li Xiuchang had just heard.

"You have passed the test, but you are not from my Buddhist sect. Most of my Buddhist scriptures are not suitable for you, and there are not many that I can teach you."

"But you are also destined to be with my Buddhist sect. Next, I will pass on to you a volume of "The Great Dream Sutra". I hope that when you achieve success in the future, you can contribute to the perfection of Buddhism."

"The Great Dream Sutra? What is that?"

Before Li Xiuchang had time to ask more, a volume of scriptures seemed to appear in front of him.

The scriptures turned, and lines of strange words that he could not recognize came into his eyes, making him suddenly feel sleepy for no reason.

This scripture is easier to sleep with than advanced mathematics...

Li Xiuchang fell asleep in a daze.

He didn't expect that he could sleep in the golden body state in the origin world.

But even if he fell asleep, the scripture didn't let him go and followed him into his dream.

In the dream, the words in the scripture went straight into his mind, and he remembered them unconsciously.

Then the voice of the little monk sounded in his ears, preaching to him.

He somehow understood the content of the scripture and understood its meaning.

"The Great Dream Sutra"!

So that's it!

This is a strange scripture for enlightenment in dreams!

The effect is similar to the Dream Pill, but it can be superimposed.

In other words, he can swallow the Dream Pill and practice the "Great Dream Sutra" at the same time, and enjoy double the dream blessing!

And there is a limitation of the Dream Pill, that is, it can only be used to comprehend the Buddha in dreams.

But the "Great Dream Sutra" does not have these restrictions, and he can comprehend any avenue in his dreams.

It's just that in terms of the effect of entering a dream, the Great Dream Sutra is much worse than the Dream Pill.

When practicing the Great Dream Sutra to enter a dream and realize the truth, the time flow rate in the dream is only a few times faster than in the outside world.

But the dream time flow rate of the Dream Pill is hundreds of times faster than in the outside world!

Of course, the time flow rate cannot be directly equated with the effect of enlightenment.

Enlightenment is not something that will necessarily yield results if you invest time.

Sometimes sitting for a hundred years is really just sitting.

Sometimes a flash of inspiration and an instant enlightenment are better than sitting for a hundred years.

It can only be said that the Great Dream Sutra and the Dream Pill have their own advantages and disadvantages.

The Great Dream Sutra has a wider range of applications and can be used no matter what kind of practice is practiced.

The Dream Pill has a better effect, but it is only applicable to Buddhism.

Li Xiuchang completely mastered the Great Dream Sutra in his dream and then woke up.

At this time, the little monk had disappeared.

"Is it over?"

Li Xiuchang felt like he was preparing for the imperial examination, but the result was just a primary school class test.

He thought there would be at least several tests, but it just tested his receptivity, and that was it.

Then he was rewarded directly.

The Great Dream Sutra was obviously the reward for completing the test.

Of course, it was not to say that the Great Dream Sutra was bad, but it felt that the test was too perfunctory.

Just a casual test and giving a big prize directly always gave people an unreal feeling of being scammed.

Li Xiuchang had reason to suspect that it was probably because he was not a Buddhist practitioner, so the person who presided over the test deliberately shortened the test process and perfunctorily did it!

If he had gone through the entire process, he might have gained more.

After all, the only test of receptivity that had just been conducted was also an opportunity.

However, at this point, Li Xiuchang had no choice but to accept it.

After all, it was someone else's test, and they had the final say. It was already a face-giving thing for him to accept the test in advance.

"Who is that little monk?"

Li Xiuchang guessed the identity of the little monk who had just appeared.

Since this test was left by Shi Tian, ​​the "examiner" should also be Shi Tian.

Could it be that Shi Tian couldn't get away, so he arranged for a disciple to replace him?

Or... that little monk was Shi Tian's clone?

He thought of many possibilities, but he couldn't be sure.

Li Xiuchang didn't rush to leave the origin world, but immediately tested the effect of "The Great Dream Sutra".

He tried to practice "The Great Dream Sutra" in the origin world, enter the dream state, and comprehend the natural way of the five elements.

The effect is really good. Enlightenment in the origin world has a blessing effect, and combined with the several times the time flow rate bonus of the dream state, the efficiency of enlightenment is much faster.

However, when he swallowed the dream pill again, after the effects were superimposed, he could only comprehend the Buddha's Way and the "Equality Way". Comprehending other great ways could not enjoy the superimposed effect of the dream pill.

Li Xiuchang understood that he had to give priority to improving the Equality Way.

When the Equality Way is strong enough to "equalize" all great ways to the Buddha's Way, then it will be very easy for him to comprehend any great way.

At present, there is no origin of the Equality Way in the origin world, so there will be no blessing when comprehending the Equality Way here.

The fastest state for him to comprehend the Way of Equality is under the dual superposition of the Great Dream Sutra and the Dream Pill.

After Li Xiuchang became familiar with the Great Dream Sutra, he stopped comprehending the Way and exited the Origin World.

When he opened his eyes, he found himself standing under the soles of the stone Buddha.

And the portal to the trial land had been closed.

Not far away, Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi and Senior Brother Chen Changsheng were talking to Shi Tian, ​​chatting enthusiastically.

So much so that the two senior brothers seemed not to notice Li Xiuchang's appearance.

Instead, Shi Tian spotted Li Xiuchang the first time and walked towards him quickly: "What's the result?"

Li Xiuchang thought to himself, "You left the test, how can you not know whether I passed it or not?"

He suspected that Shi Tian was just looking for a topic to get out of the encirclement of Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Brother Chen.

But he still replied: "Thank you Senior Brother Shi Tian for your concern, I passed it smoothly."

Zhang Wanzhi and Chen Changsheng seemed to have just seen Li Xiuchang at this time, and Zhang Wanzhi sighed: "Why did the test end so quickly?"

This is because Li Xiuchang came back too early.

If Li Xiuchang could come back later, they could pester Shi Tian to get more words out of him.

Li Xiuchang also understood what the two senior brothers meant, but the problem was that he didn't know that he would be sent directly to the feet of the Buddha as soon as he left the origin world.

He thought he would be sent to the trial space first.

He said quickly, "Thanks to Senior Brother Shi Tian, ​​I have gained a lot this time. Senior Brother, you are so kind and I cannot repay you. Please come to my sect and let me do my best to be a good host!"

"That's not necessary..." Shi Tian's face froze and he quickly refused.

"Xiu Chang's words make sense!" Zhang Wanzhi clapped his hands, "Brother Shi Tian, ​​on behalf of our entire sect, I welcome you!"

"I have something important to do..."

Chen Changsheng said sympathetically, "Master Shi Tian, ​​if you have something to do, can't you just arrange a clone to do it? If it doesn't work, you can just leave a clone to visit our sect."

Shi Tian was speechless and looked helpless.

Li Xiuchang took advantage of the victory and said solemnly, "As the deputy leader of the Mochen Sect, I formally invite Master Shi Tian to visit my Mochen Sect."

Shi Tian could only nod in the end.

Of course, Li Xiuchang and his men couldn't bring Shi Tian to the Xianchen Sect, but inviting him to the Mochen Sect was not a problem.

It is also very convenient to go from the Pure Land to the Dark Heaven Realm, as there is a direct teleportation array.

Huiren, who had woken up from his epiphany, sent Li Xiuchang and his group away. It can be seen that he was very interested in Shi Tian and seemed to have many doubts, but he had no chance to ask.

…

Li Xiuchang and his group teleported to the Dark Heaven Realm, and Zhang Wanzhi directly took out the highest hospitality standards and released his palm palace.

The palace grew larger in the wind and floated in the air.

Li Xiuchang and his group entered the palace, and the palm palace shuttled above the clouds, but under Zhang Wanzhi's deliberate control, the speed was not fast.

The palace was extremely luxurious. Zhang Wanzhi took out various spiritual fruits to entertain Shi Tian, ​​while seemingly chatting with Shi Tian casually.

He only occasionally said a word, which seemed to be unintentional, but in fact he was asking about some secrets in a roundabout way.

Shi Tian was not a talkative person, and Zhang Wanzhi could not handle it alone, so Chen Changsheng did not participate for the time being, but chatted with Li Xiuchang.

He asked about Li Xiuchang's trial, and Li Xiuchang told him from beginning to end.

By the way, he also expressed his guess: "Brother, I feel that the Buddhist test is playing me."

Chen Changsheng shook his head: "That may not be the case. This round of Buddhist trials is not a test, but rather a special design to help those Buddhist geniuses grow.

"Those who can meet the requirements of this round of trials are already rare Buddhist geniuses, so there is no need to test them more."

Shi Tian's intention is to cultivate a large number of geniuses and explore new paths for Buddhism.

Therefore, there is no need to use multiple tests to screen out more geniuses.

This round of trials, to put it bluntly, is specifically for giving benefits.

Li Xiuchang understood and nodded: "However, who do you think the little monk who appeared in the trial is?"

Chen Changsheng was silent for a moment and said: "I suspect that Shi Tian is not the real person who stayed for the trial."

Li Xiuchang was stunned: "Is he pretending?"

"That can't be said. It seems that he was instructed to stop us from opening the entrance to the trial. From the process of chatting with him, some details can confirm this. "

"Another point, I found that the big wooden fish didn't seem to recognize him as the master, so although he could use it, it was a bit sluggish and couldn't exert its full power. "

"I suspect that the real owner of the wooden fish is the one who stayed in the trial place, and Shi Tian is just a subordinate or disciple of the wooden fish owner."

Chen Changsheng's analysis was well-reasoned, and Li Xiuchang naturally believed it completely.

But he immediately said in surprise: "Brother, don't you think that the little monk is the real owner of the wooden fish?"

Chen Changsheng nodded: "Very likely! During your entire trial, only the little monk appeared, so he might be the one who stayed in the trial!"

Li Xiuchang became more curious about the little monk and Shi Tian, ​​and asked: "Brother, you have been chatting with Shi Tian for so long, have you got any other information? Do you know their origins?"

Chen Changsheng shook his head: "This monk looks honest and taciturn, but he is very tight-lipped. When it comes to key information, he refuses to reveal a word. If he really wants to say it, we might have let him go long ago, and there is no need to keep him as a guest.

"But this monk has a mysterious origin and should know a lot of secrets. If he doesn't tell us something this time, we won't let him leave no matter what."

...

Although Zhang Wanzhi deliberately slowed down the flying speed of the palace in order to delay time, the palace in his palm finally arrived at the Mochen Sect.

When Li Xiuchang came down and saw the mountain gate of the Mochen Sect, he thought he had come to the wrong place.

There was a huge crowd of people in front of him, countless people lined up on both sides, welcoming him!

A red banner was hung high, with the words: Welcome Master Shi Tian to come and guide!

The disciples of the Mochen Sect also held various banners, with slogans such as "Demons and Buddhas are one family" and "Friendship lasts forever".

Li Xiuchang knew at a glance that this must have been arranged in advance by Senior Brother Chen Changsheng.

With this posture, if Shi Tian didn't give some instructions, he would definitely not be able to leave.

Sure enough, when Shi Tian saw this scene, he was also stunned on the spot.

There was some embarrassment and panic on his face.

He wished he could disappear on the spot.

How could an introvert stand this?

Before Shi Tian could make any reaction, the disciples of the Mochen Sect on both sides had already shouted:

"Welcome Master Shi Tian!"

"Welcome, welcome!"

Zhang Wanzhi even quietly gave Chen Changsheng a thumbs up.

Little Shi Tian, ​​I don't believe that I can't take you down!

Chen Changsheng smiled slightly, what's the point?

At this time, a tall man with a burly figure and a face full of flesh, with a majestic bearing and a dragon-like gait, walked out of the mountain gate of the Mochen Sect.

He had a somewhat unnatural smile on his face and strode towards Shi Tian.

The auspicious cloud of merit above his head was so dazzling that it made his fierce face look kind.

Behind him, there was a man and a woman. The man looked like a man, and the woman was mature and beautiful, with a charming figure. Even under the gaze of so many people, the man and woman still held hands as if no one was around.

The burly man walking in front put on an unnatural smile, stepped forward and grabbed Shi Tian's hands with both hands, shook hands with sincerity, and introduced himself at the same time: "I am Mo Tu, the leader of the Mochen Sect. Welcome Master Shi Tian to visit my Mochen Sect and make my Mochen Sect glorious!"

The smile on Shi Tian's face was even more unnatural than Mo Tu's. He pulled the corner of his mouth: "Master Mo, you are too polite."

"Master, please come in! These are the two deputy leaders of our sect. Knowing that you are coming, they have prepared tea and vegetarian food." Mo Tu introduced Lu Yang and Xia Sijun behind him.

The two deputy leaders personally cooked, which was sincere enough.

How could Shi Tian refuse?

He originally planned to come to Mochen Sect to take a look and then leave.

But when he got here, he found that everything was beyond his control.

Shi Tian was surrounded by a group of people and walked towards Mochen Sect.

As one of the deputy leaders, Li Xiuchang naturally walked in the first echelon.

When he walked to the sect square of the Mochen Sect, he couldn't help but blurt out: "Wocao!"

Shi Tian also suddenly widened his eyes and blurted out: "Wocao..."

Then he realized that he had spoken out of turn, and quickly turned to look at Li Xiuchang, and said: "Wocao is really a good thing. It is my Buddhist holy medicine. Brother Xiuchang also knows about Wocao?"

Li Xiuchang coughed: "I was lucky enough to get a few plants."

Several brothers around looked at each other, all with subtle smiles on their faces.

What made Li Xiuchang and Shi Tian swear at the same time was actually a statue erected in the square!

It was a handsome bald monk, who was the statue of Shi Tian!

The huge statue was extremely eye-catching, and the whole body was pure gold. As soon as you enter the square, you will notice it at first sight.

Motu pointed at the statue and said to Shi Tian: "This is what I carved by hand to commemorate the visit of Master Shi Tian. Time was short and I couldn't carve out the master's style. Please don't blame me."

Shi Tian took a deep breath and couldn't speak for a long time.

Li Xiuchang secretly gave his senior brothers and sisters a thumbs up... One word, absolutely!

Shi Tian was silent for a few breaths, and suddenly his expression became much more natural, and he said with emotion: "Thank you for your hospitality."

At this time, he finally realized a fact. If he came to the Mochen Sect without explaining something, he would not be able to leave.

If he turned around and left now, even if Zhang Wanzhi and the others did not stop him, he might have a demon in his heart when he returned, and feel that he was nothing.

Since it has come to this, Shi Tian simply let it go and treat it as a normal journey, and enjoy this experience.

Although before coming, the master deliberately told him that many things could not be told to others.

But those that have not been explained should be able to be said, right?
