Chapter 1055: Launch (2)
At the end of the corridor, in the ancient Zen hall, Qingsha was stroking the golden statues of Buddhas sitting cross-legged on the ground.
There are men and women, old and young.
The golden statue sits cross-legged on the ground, with all kinds of strange visions floating around it. The majestic Buddhist rhythm is ancient and timeless, spreading from each golden statue, filling the entire Zen hall, as if filling the entire universe.
Old Xiong Zun walked into the meditation hall, put his hands on his waist, panted, and looked at Qing Sha. He was unfamiliar with Qing Sha's face. After all, Qing Sha was reincarnated as the direct flesh and blood of the Qing Emperor in this life, and reincarnated as the son of the Qing Emperor... This identity was simply unbelievable, and his face was naturally unfamiliar to Old Xiong Zun.
However, Lao Xiongzun was not unfamiliar with the thirty-six golden bodies of Buddha that Qingsha was caressing.
In other words, there was a golden body of Buddha among them, which Lao Xiongzun was very familiar with - he had just been accepted as a disciple by Master Langyue, and he had lived in the holy land of Nalanda for many years. He had also listened to scriptures and received Dharma at the feet of this Buddha.
However, the Buddha talked about the graceful and mysterious "the origin of heaven and man" and "equality of all beings", which was incompatible with the open and close, bloody battles that Old Bear recognized. Every time Old Bear listened to what this Buddha said, his eyelids drooped and he felt drowsy.
Lao Xiongzun strictly abided by the Buddhist precepts, clasped his hands together and bowed to Qingsha, performing the ritual of paying homage to Buddha as the younger disciples of the Nalanda Holy Land did.
“So it’s you! May the Buddha have mercy on me!” Old Bear said with emotion, “I never expected that so many incredible monks and great virtues would have passed away… You were the least notable one among the Buddhas that Old Bear had listened to the Dharma from, but you are still alive today!”
Qingsha blinked his eyes.
He looked at Old Bear Master - this little blind bear had learned bad things, and had actually learned to be weird and cunning. He smiled and nodded, "Yes, because he is weak, he acts cautiously, so he is good at protecting himself... and he can live until now..."
Old Xiong Zun started laughing: "I thought you were able to survive until now because you deserted the battlefield?"
He blinked his eyes and looked Qing Sha up and down: "When Qingdi, Taichu, Taimi, Taiyi, and those guys got together and broke into the Nalanda Court, you... joined the battle, right?"
Qing Sha was silent for a long time.
When he first met Lu Yi, he could have displayed the demeanor and appearance of a true Buddhist monk. He could have covered himself in thick gold powder to make Lu Yi feel moved and in awe from the bottom of his heart. He could have also opened a back door in the avenue controlled by Buddhism according to the route he had drawn, allowing Lu Yi to attain the fruit of speed.
As expected, after Lu Yi achieved the speed fruit, Taichu, Taiyu, and even Qingdi's attention were drawn to Lu Yi. The Lingshan Great Leiyin Temple led by Qingsha could leisurely retract the exposed branches and twigs, clean up the ones that needed to be cleaned up, and rearrange the ones that needed to be rearranged.
Today, Lingshan Leiyin Temple is "safe" again.
There is no doubt that this is all due to Lu Yi's achievement of speed and comprehensive firepower attraction!
However, facing Lao Xiongzun, a familiar face who was very familiar with the place, the solemn golden image of a great Buddhist monk that Qingsha had put on in front of Lu Yi seemed a little embarrassing.
Qing Sha's face drooped, and a trace of coldness came out from his bones. He turned around and faced Lao Xiong Zun, with his hands tucked into his wide sleeves, and said slowly: "What happened back then was like a dream. Now that it's over, what's the point of talking about it again?"
"But you, who have been hiding in Yuncha Ridge for so many years, finally mustered up the courage to come out?" Qing Sha said calmly: "Your master is back? Actually, it was beyond my expectation... She came back so quickly!"
Old Xiongzun narrowed his eyes and said, "I thought she was completely dead. How could you know that she would come back?"
Qing Sha pondered for a moment and smiled. He shook his head and said with a smile: "Hey, everyone knows everything about each other... Well, no, this 'know everything about each other's background' is a bit biased... Well, it should be that everyone knows about each other's background about 50%, 60%, 70%, or 80%... She didn't die so easily. If she really died so easily, she would have died hundreds of times back then."
Old Xiongzun's small eyes narrowed to the size of sesame seeds.
What Qingsha said should be what Master Langyue experienced when he was in the "outer gate" of the holy land of Nalanda... Master Langyue, who was the "number one in the outer gate", traveled outside to preach, subdue demons, recruit disciples, and broadcast Buddhism. He had encountered hundreds of life and death disasters.
You must know that at that time, it was the most prosperous period of the Holy Land of Nalanda when it dominated the Supreme Taichu Heaven.
Master Langyue, an 'original disciple of Buddhism', actually encountered hundreds of crises that nearly led to his death... This is simply a mockery of everyone's IQ!
"You are right. What happened back then is like a dream. Now that it has passed, let them go with the wind." Old Xiong Zun smiled brightly. "It is a great joy that the master can return safely. As for what happened and why it happened... all the 'cause' is 'illusory'... Only the 'result' is real!"
Old Bear Venerable said with emotion: "I am a little bear with shallow cultivation and weak wisdom. It is a great fortune for me to be able to see the real 'fruit'... As for the many 'causes', I am not qualified or capable of touching them."
Qingsha's face twitched again.
Well, the stubborn blind black bear back then has actually learned to be sneaky and cunning.
What a simple and honest black bear demon he was back then... Qingsha remembered clearly that Old Bear Venerable, who had been accepted as a disciple by Master Langyue only a few years ago, once broke into the main courtyard of the Nalanda Holy Land and the scripture hall where the abbot gave lectures, crying and shouting over the deaths of several little demons who worked in the firewood room of the Nalanda Holy Land. He was almost beaten to death!
The death of a few menial demons was such a weak and shallow cause. For such a trivial cause, Old Bear Venerable could cause such a big disturbance. He was so lazy that he didn't even bother to investigate the cause of his master, Master Langyue's reincarnation...
Is this a smart move?
Only smart people can live longer!
No wonder, this old blind bear, under the pressure and military attack from the Heavenly Court, could actually live happily for so many years with a group of demons and monsters in Yuncha Ridge?
Qing Sha exclaimed: "You have awakened, you have gained wisdom, I am very happy!"
Shaking his head, Qing Sha smiled and said, "So, why did you come to Hongmeitian this time? You went to Hongmeitian just to see us, right? But over the years, although my Lingshan Great Leiyin Temple and your Yuncha Ridge are both remnants of the Nalanda Holy Land, we have always adhered to our duties and have never communicated with each other..."
Old Xiongzun interrupted Qingsha and said, "What you said is like farting!"
Qingsha's face twitched. This old blind bear had just praised him for his progress, but now he started to talk nonsense again. Is this guy... smart? Or, smart?
"Is there anything inappropriate in what I said?" Qing Sha looked at Lao Xiong Zun with a serious smile.
"Your Lingshan Great Leiyin Temple and my Yuncha Ridge have a rich relationship... Otherwise, how could Little Bear's stupid godson, Heiyun Jun, become an outer sect disciple of your Lingshan Great Leiyin Temple?" Old Bear blinked his eyes, his two small black eyes revealed a shrewdness, cunning, and even a hint of meanness and cruelty: "Not to mention your Prince Yuanfu, haha, he committed a crime and made a mistake, but he actually ran to my Yuncha Ridge the first time."
Old Bear Venerable sighed, "Perhaps it's because your farts are fragrant, even more fragrant than the honey brewed by the wild demon bees in my Yuncha Ridge, so the group of stupid bastards of Lord Black Cloud are clinging to you and hugging the thigh of your Lingshan Great Leiyin Temple!"
"This is a small matter. As for godsons, I have many, many, many, little bears." Old Bear Zun said with a smile: "Not only godsons, but also many goddaughters... If you have a fancy to them at the Lingshan Great Leiyin Temple, just ask. I will take care of as many as you want!"
"But when Prince Yuanfu committed a crime, he did not go back to your own territory, but instead ran to Yuncha Ridge. This is not a sign of loyalty."
Old Xiong Zun sighed and said, "You guys are trying to bring the wrath of Heaven to my Yuncha Ridge, and ask me to block the sword for you! This is really not nice. I really want to turn a blind eye to this 'cause', but I can't!"
Qing Sha laughed and said, "Really? How do you want to 'turn a blind eye'?"
Lao Xiongzun put on a thoughtful look, tilting his head, like a "bad elementary school student" who was sent to the "calculus examination room for the final exam of college". His eyes were empty, his body was relaxed, and he was completely blank, in a state of deep thought, and he did so for a long, long, long time...
Qingsha's face gradually became more and more gloomy.
However, as a senior Buddhist monk, Qingsha still showed great patience and endurance. With a gloomy face, he simply sat cross-legged on the ground, holding his chin with both hands, resting his elbows on his knees, slightly raising his head, and quietly looking at Old Bear.
Old Xiong Zun just tilted his head in a 'blank and clear' manner, thinking, thinking, thinking... for a long, long, long time...
The four Vajras, Pofa, Dali, and others, stood behind Old Bear Lord.
They were like four gigantic statues, with a faint glow of precious light surrounding them, but their aura was gradually becoming more and more restrained.
In the void, light and shadows are faintly visible.
There is a hint of sandalwood.
There is the sound of Sanskrit chanting.
Occasionally, you can see golden flowers shining like heavy rain.
Occasionally you can see the Pipa Witch dancing wildly.
All illusions are between existence and non-existence, subtle, mysterious, and full of a mysterious and weird atmosphere.
Old Xiong Zun was still the same, blank and hazy, his eyes filled with clear stupidity, motionless and empty.
Qingsha's face changed from that gloomy look to one that gradually became meaningful... The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and his gaze moved from Old Bear Lord to the four Vajra behind him.
"Interesting!" Qingsha chuckled.
With a "pop", a wisp of brown-gold fragrance floated in the air, and a thumb-length, illusory goddess danced . Suddenly, a red lotus appeared under the feet of the goddess, and the fire on the red lotus swirled. The goddess let out a shrill howl and turned into a skeleton, and then was crushed into dust and green smoke by the fire.
In the huge Zen hall, all kinds of strange phenomena suddenly occurred at once.
A Vajra Arhat appeared from the air, waving various magical weapons and attacking everywhere.
There were celestial maidens and demons waving pipa and sanxian, singing and dancing and wandering around.
There are Bodhisattvas and Buddhas sitting cross-legged on cloud-covered lotus pedestals, speaking eloquently and incessantly.
There were also many heavenly kings and monks who formed an army and attacked in a mighty force.
These Vajra Arhats, celestial maidens, celestial demons, Bodhisattvas, Buddhas, heavenly kings and monks are all in a half-solid, half-illusory state. The tallest is only about an inch in height, while the shortest is as tiny as a sesame seed.
They appeared and disappeared in the void, killing each other so that golden flowers fell from the sky, countless balls of Buddha's light flickered in the void, and all kinds of illusions of golden dragons and jade phoenixes flashed continuously. There was also the Sumeru throne, the Vajra Peak, the Merit Pool, and the boundless lotus sea that bloomed like flowers.
The air was filled with all kinds of long-lasting and heavy fragrances, and all kinds of strange sounds were like billions of demons whispering in the heart, mind, ears, and soul, all flooding up.
It is extremely dangerous, just like someone using a feather fan made of strong gunpowder to tease your heart, your spirit, and your soul little by little... As long as there is a slight flaw in your heart, a little loophole, and a trace of evil fire being provoked, the feather fan will explode, completely detonating your spirit, your everything, and blowing it all up into smoke and ashes.
During this process, Old Xiongzun suddenly smiled.
He still maintained that blank, thoughtful expression on his face and slowly sat down on the ground.
He was exactly the same as Qing Sha, with his elbows resting on his knees, his chin supported by his hands, and he looked at Qing Sha quietly with a subtle, blank smile.
The four great Vajras were like four mountains, standing behind Old Bear. The lights around them became more and more dazzling, the chanting became louder and louder, and the Buddha's light on them was like fireworks, gradually lighting up, and finally becoming extremely blazing, like molten gold juice, which could burn eyeballs through the air.
Gradually, the Four Heavenly Kings no longer concealed their true intentions.
With a low roar, in the void around them, layers of space folds slowly bloomed, and countless thumb-sized Vajra Arhats wearing heavy armor formed a Buddha formation, marching out in neat steps. They shouted Buddhist mantras and rushed in the direction .
Around Qing Sha, all kinds of exquisite and mysterious Buddhist prohibitions were stacked up, turning into invisible traps. No matter how many little men and Vajra Arhats attacked, they could not get within three feet of him.
And so, a quarter of an hour... two quarters of an hour...
Gradually, Qingsha's face began to turn blue, and he looked at the Four Vajras with a little horror.
The Vajra Arhat that appeared beside the Four Vajra Kings had been promoted to Bodhisattva Buddha with precious light all over their bodies... They came slowly on the clouds, and they were able to approach within nine feet of Qingsha.
With a "puff" sound.
A crack suddenly appeared on Qingsha's robe sleeve.
