Chapter 131: The Sins of the Past, the Golden Body
Li Changxiao was shocked.
He had indeed heard of the Incense Buddha, who was one of the many Buddhas in Jiuxiang Temple and whose power was extremely terrifying.
Notice.
Anyone who can be listed as a Buddha-level figure in a first-class force like Jiuxiang Temple must be someone who has reached the pinnacle in one aspect.
For example, the Thousand-Armed Buddha, his Thousand-Armed Buddha body technique is extremely famous and is recognized as one of the "Hundred Unique Techniques", which is extremely terrifying.
However, compared to the Incense Buddha, Li Changxiao is more familiar with the Xuanyin Buddha.
This Buddha is closer to his time.
Moreover, he is the current abbot of Jiuxiang Temple. The Buddha's nature is unprecedentedly profound. Just reciting the Buddhist scriptures can cause a mysterious resonance, making the scriptures jump out of the book and vibrate in the air.
He also uttered Buddhist sounds, suppressed the devil, and broke the stars with a single word.
From a horizontal comparison, one can imagine how powerful this incense Buddha is.
This made him even more curious about what was going to happen next.
And the old monk did not keep anyone in suspense. His voice was soft and gentle, with a kind of Zen quality that made people feel calm and peaceful unconsciously.
Li Changxiao asked about his concern, fearing that his soul and body were too badly damaged. The old monk smiled and said it was okay.
The old monk continued with the previous sentence.
The monk named Wuqing knew nothing about Buddhism. It took him more than ten years to pass the Buddhist theory test. The temple decided that he should be forced to take Buddhist theory courses again every three years.
As a disciple of the Buddha, during his study of Buddhist principles, the Buddha personally explained the Dharma to him and told him that the sins he committed in his life would not be erased after death, and he should not let his good intentions go to waste.
Wuqing would always listen patiently and vowed to pay for his sins. Among the many Buddhist classics, Wuqing's favorite was an enlightenment book on Buddhism called "The Woodcutter and the Mountain Snake". Through simple stories, it conveyed profound Buddhist knowledge, and he would always read it.
The old monk also took the opportunity to explain to Li Changxiao that human practice is to take advantage of the momentum. When one reaches a higher level, his own energy will be as high as the sun, and he will give back to the people or things that have borrowed his "momentum". Borrowing and returning is the right way.
This kind of feedback is varied. For people, it may be the accumulation of luck, for heaven and earth, it may be the burst of spiritual energy, and for the blessed land, it may be the deepening of spiritual charm...
The book "The Woodcutter and the Mountain Snake" was read so often by him that from the moment Wuqing cultivated to the level of a Buddha, the invisible feedback led to the birth of derivative living beings.
We didn't pay attention to it at the time, but now looking back, if Wuqing really had a deep understanding of Buddhism, how could he raise a "cunning" green snake instead of an honest farmer, or the wise sayings in the book?
At this point, the old monk sighed again and again, feeling sad, pitiful and irreversible.
He continued to narrate.
Monk Wuqing has shown amazing talent since he began practicing Buddhism.
He was already in his forties at that time and had passed the best period of cultivation, but he was still making rapid progress. Because of the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth, he had already reached the equivalent of the sixth level of Qi training before he even started practicing.
After practicing for a while, in less than a month, he entered the stage of foundation building. If we say that at this time, he was just practicing quickly and did not show his truly terrifying talent, and his strength was not that strong, he was just an ordinary foundation building with a slightly more solid foundation.
His real rise began when he reached the Spirit Transformation Stage and started to come into contact with incense.
His talent in the art of incense is extremely terrifying. With the help of the power of incense, he condensed a ten-thousand-foot-long Dharma body and won the first place in a certain secret realm, showing off his talent.
Afterwards, he became more and more proficient in the art of incense burning, and when he was in the Refining Void Stage, he created his own incense burning technique and became the most powerful incense burning master in Jiuxiang Temple.
He entered the fusion stage and was called the Buddha of Incense
"What happened next?" Li Changxiao asked.
The old monk sighed, "Later, a noble family came to Jiuxiang Temple to declare war, saying that Jiuxiang Temple, with the name of a famous and upright sect, did things that were worse than those of the devil."
"Then, they listed a series of tragedies that were simply unbearable to watch. Jiuxiang Temple naturally denied it, but the aristocratic families insisted that it was true. In desperation, Li Xundao, the leader of the Dao Sect, stepped in to mediate."
"Li Xundao coordinated both parties and combined with the divine calculations of the Divine Calculation Sect, he quickly resolved the misunderstanding. It turned out that all those actions were done by the incense Buddha Wuqing."
"After investigation, we learned that Wu Qing was murderous by nature. He had practiced Buddhism for many years and secretly committed countless horrific crimes. He even destroyed a country and committed crimes that were against the will of heaven and earth."
Having said this, the old monk was deeply saddened and filled with grief and anger.
This is also the reason why Jiuxiang Temple later resolutely stopped accepting evil people as disciples.
The price is simply too high.
Moreover, when his deeds were exposed, Wuqing had already become a powerful figure, a true Buddha, with his Dharma body condensed by incense and fire, and was extremely powerful.
Li Xundao did not interfere too much in this matter, letting Jiuxiang Temple do whatever it wanted to calm the anger of the world.
Later, Jiuxiang Temple dispatched four Buddhas and finally captured Wuqing.
Locked in the Eighteen Prisons, punished every day, and unable to be reborn forever.
Originally, the matter should have ended here.
Who knows, this is just the beginning.
A gleam of brilliance flashed in the old monk's eyes.
Li Changxiao recalled that the figure wrapped in iron chains was probably the Wuqing mentioned by the old monk.
The old monk said, "Less than a month."
"The disciple in charge of the punishment contracted a disease, an unprecedented disease."
"Call it sin-binding."
"This disease is extremely contagious, and once you are infected, there is no chance of recovery."
......
Sixteenth floor.
As you step inside, a rotten smell hits your nose.
It was pitch black all around and I couldn't see my fingers.
As soon as Mu Qin entered this floor, she stopped. She waited until her eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness and she could see clearly five or six meters in front of her, then she slowly moved forward.
She had only taken two steps when her way was blocked by an object.
As far as the eye can see, the first thing you see is a lotus base, and on the base is a golden statue the size of a human.
The face of the golden statue was a hideous ghost.
If she guessed correctly, the golden body should contain the body of the "Ghost Face Buddha".
Her brows furrowed again.
The Buddha of Jiuxiang Temple has a high level of cultivation and will leave relics after his death.
If she guessed correctly, this floor should be used to store the body of the deceased Buddha, and 80% of the relics are inside the golden body.
Walk around the golden statue.
Mu Qin noticed again that there were some books placed on the lotus base.
Take out a book and flip through it quickly.
It is the Ghost-faced Buddha’s understanding of Buddhism and the inheritance he left behind.
Seeing this, Mu Qin was delighted. If she could find the golden body of the Buddha here, she could get his understanding and inheritance of Buddhism.
It will be a great help to her research on incense.
