Human Shackles

Latest website: Today is the day when Master Di Nan, the host of Yinggong Temple, preaches Mahayana Buddhist scriptures.

Within the abyss, various species swarmed in and gathered around the Yinggong Temple. Among them were humans, beasts, monsters, and spirits. Even the ghosts and undead spirits who were born from the resentment of heaven and earth instinctively approached to listen to the Buddha's voice. .

In the main hall of Yinggong Temple, there is a seated Buddha statue with long ears, lop shoulders, and a bun on his head. Different from those solemn Buddha statues, this Buddha statue has a frown and a withered face, full of suffering.

The name of this Buddha is the Buddha of the Past, and it is the Lantern Ancient Buddha, one of the three major Buddhas in Buddhism.

The purpose of becoming a Buddha is to open up the path of wisdom to all sentient beings, and focus on exploring one's own potential heart, or in other words, exploring one's own soul memories from thousands of generations, which is "cultivating the past", so the "past Buddha" is the most important one in Buddhism branch.

An old monk with white eyebrows sat in meditation in front of the Buddha statue, chanting sutras to himself.

His voice was extremely strange. The closer he got, the quieter the sound became. On the contrary, the further away he was, the louder the sound became. It resounded throughout the mountains:

"Buddha told Subhuti: Again Subhuti, all Dharmas are equal and there is no superiority or inferiority. This is called Anuttarasamyaksambodhi. With no self, no one, no sentient beings, and no lifespan, one should practice all good Dharma. That is how Anuttarasamyaksambodhi is achieved. Subhuti, the good Dharma mentioned by the Tathagata is not a good Dharma, it is called a good Dharma."

Smelling the faint sandalwood and listening to the chanting sound that seems to exist in the depths of a dream, people can't help but feel peaceful and let go of all their obsessions and delusions.

Since the war between the two realms at the end of the last era, Buddhism has been in a state of decline in the world. Later, it was suppressed by the Pantheon and had to settle in this abyss to preserve its incense.

Buddhism and Taoism are the product of the great success of the mind, and its foundation is extremely profound. Although it lives in the abyss, it has a wide range of believers, and even attracts a large number of people from the outside world, who come to worship Buddha and seek scriptures at any risk.

Luo Kai and Nolan were also among the believers, looking up at the temples on the mountain peaks that were faintly glowing with golden light.

Luo Kai had a profound foundation in Buddhism and was easily immersed in the peaceful chanting of sutras, while Nolan was extremely uncomfortable.

Star spirits respect physical science and pay attention to the conflict and release of thoughts, that is, movement, while Buddhist teachings are stillness and pay attention to patience and humility.

People with different doctrines and concepts would naturally be very repulsive. Nolan frowned deeply and became increasingly impatient. He sent a message to Luo Kai: "I don't like it here. Let's say goodbye. I'm going back to Renlitian. What do you have?" Do you have something to say?”

Luo Kai came back to his senses and understood that Nolan already knew about his relationship with Nebula. He wanted to ask if he had anything to say. He thought about it and whispered: "Thank you princess for me. I will go find her when the matter is over." ."

"Well, then I'll wait for you in my hometown."

Nolan continued: "Hu Ben's master recognition process is very complicated. Only the direct bloodline of the Xuanyuan clan with a degree of atavism of more than 40% can complete the master recognition. It is useless for Alvasa to take it.

However, they may not intend to crack Huben's master recognition program, but find a way to initialize it directly.

In this way, all the programs implanted by Huben will be deleted, the overall ability will be greatly reduced, and it will no longer be able to have the terrifying combat power comparable to Hedao.

That's why I agreed to his terms of exchange, but even so, his strength will greatly increase. If you return to Earth, be careful of them. "

"Yeah," Luo Kai nodded lightly.

Nolan wanted to explain something, but after hesitating for a long time, he finally just reached out and patted Luo Kai on the shoulder, turned around and left.

Luo Kai liked the purity of Buddhism very much, so he found a small mountain col, sat cross-legged, listened to the peaceful chanting of sutras, and gradually fell into a deep sleep.

…

The lecture lasted for three full days. On the third day, the chanting stopped and the crowd began to disperse in large numbers. There were still some kneeling at the gate of the mountain, wanting to join the Yinggong Temple.

Yinggong Temple is extremely strict in recruiting disciples, and in recent years, the number of practitioners in the temple has been close to saturation, and it no longer recruits disciples from outside.

However, there are sometimes exceptions, such as a disciple who knelt in front of the mountain gate for a thousand years and entered a state of petrification. His tenacity and patience impressed the presiding master Dinan, and he was granted permission to become his disciple.

With precedent, many people also hold this idea, so more and more people have been kneeling in front of the mountain gate in recent years.

After the chanting stopped, Luo Kai woke up from his deep sleep. With the supply of a large number of ether particles, his energy and spirit returned to its peak again, and the water in the sea of ​​consciousness also became stable, with occasional waves but not big fluctuations.

He stood up and came to the mountain gate, and said to a monk who knew the guest: "I have an appointment with Master Dihai of your temple, and I came here to keep the appointment."

The monk Zhike looked him up and down and said, "May I ask the name of the donor?"

"My name is Luo Kai."

The monk Zhike's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly bowed and said: "It turns out to be Donor Luo. Master Dihai has already told me, please follow me up the mountain."

Yinggong Temple is a large complex of buildings built on rugged cliffs, from the center of the mountain to the top of the mountain. It is magnificent and magnificent.

There are powerful forbidden magic circles set up nearly a thousand miles around the temple, which cannot fly or enter the ground.

The only entrance to the mountain is a winding path, densely covered with sharp rocks, and the terrain is quite steep.

The monk Zhike led the way, walking very fast without even touching the ground.

Luo Kai walked slowly, as if he were strolling in a leisurely garden, but in fact he was no slower than Zhike Monk.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the center of the mountain. A more than 20-meter-high archway with the three characters "Yinggong Temple" stood in front of them. Under the archway, stood two fierce-looking Arhat statues.

Luo Kai knew that this was a kind of angry-eyed King Kong. Although the essence of Buddhism focused more on attracting people to do good and had a relatively peaceful philosophy, it did not prohibit killing.

Just as Luo Kai was approaching, a statue suddenly made a squeaking and rubbing sound, its huge head turned, and two rays of golden light shot out from a pair of glaring eyes.

Luo Kai instinctively wanted to dodge, but Zhike Monk said in a hurry: "I forgot to tell the donor, this is the gatekeeper of our supply, and he has to identify the donor's race."

Luo Kai stood still and let the golden light shine on his body. After a moment, the golden light disappeared and the huge head of the statue turned back to its original position.

Zhike Monk said apologetically: "Our temple is at odds with the demons and ghosts, and we are afraid that spies from the Pantheon will sneak into the temple, so we set up this test."

Passing through the archway and climbing up a winding staircase, we arrived at the top of the mountain in about ten minutes. On the top of the mountain was a large group of buildings, filled with shadows, strange-looking people, and some birds and beasts. It is estimated that there are tens of thousands of various creatures practicing here.

This is actually a huge dojo. Compared with Langhuan Dojo, the conditions are relatively poor.

Most of the monks were dressed in rags, some were half-clothed, and some didn't even seem to have a place to live, sleeping soundly in some open squares.

Zhike Monk took Luo Kai to a reception room and served tea with a faint fragrance.

After a while, a joyful voice came into my ears: "Brother Luo, you are finally here. I am relieved that you are okay."

Not long after the voice fell, an old monk with a withered face came to the reception room, which was exactly the sea of ​​​​Earth. After not seeing him for a few days, he became even more withered, completely like a mummy.

Luo Kai stood up and said with a smile: "Long time no see, Master."

The two chatted for a while, and Dihai said: "Brother Luo, please stay with me for a few more days. Let's go and take you to introduce my senior brother, who is the host of our Yinggong Temple."

Some people died, but not completely...
