Chapter 51: Do you believe the Buddha image I visualized to practice martial arts?
Initiation!
Master Yin Guang placed his hand on Lin Ye’s head and then recited scriptures.
Lin Ye didn't feel anything at first, but after a few seconds, he looked a little dazed. He seemed to hear Buddhist chants lingering in his ears and see fairies surrounding him, solemn and decadent.
"Mr. Lin, calm your mind and recite the Vajra Subduing Demon Sutra."
The voice of Master Yin Guang came to his ears, like a thunderclap. Lin Ye hurriedly recited the Vajra Subduing Demon Sutra in his heart. Then he saw a ray of golden light floating from the sky, and the Sanskrit sound and the fairy disappeared in an instant.
A golden light flashed, and Lin Ye stared at it. He could vaguely see a Buddha statue in the golden light, but it was blocked by the clouds and could not be seen clearly.
"Look carefully!"
The voice of Master Yin Guang came to his ears again. Lin Ye quickly looked into the clouds. The clouds seemed to have encountered something and began to become thinner. The Buddha statue gradually became clearer.
The moment the clouds completely dissipated, Lin Ye saw the entire body of the Buddha.
This Buddha stands on a lotus platform, wearing a cassock, glaring with eyes and making Dharma mudra with his hands.
With just a glance, Lin Ye had just seen it clearly when the dissipated clouds reappeared, blocking the Buddha.
"Amitabha, which golden statue of Buddha did Master Lin see?"
Master Yin Guang's voice sounded, and Lin Ye's gaze returned to the platform. Facing Master Yin Guang's question, he curiously asked, "Is the Buddha I saw different?"
"Amitabha, there are many forms of Buddha. The Buddha in everyone's heart is different. Every Buddha has the appearance of a wrathful Vajra."
After listening to Master Yin Guang's explanation, Lin Ye had a strange expression on his face and said, "What I saw was a Buddha standing on a lotus platform."
“Well, Buddha has various postures. Are there any more detailed features?” Master Yin Guang did not take it seriously. He believed that visualizing a standing Buddha was nothing. One of his disciples even visualized the Buddha lying on a lotus platform.
"This standing Buddha made a hand seal." Lin Ye's voice was a little softer than before.
"Well, it's normal for a Buddha to stand on a lotus platform and make a Buddhist seal with his hands. Are there any other characteristics?"
Lin Ye did not answer, but asked: "Master, is there anyone who has the magical powers of Buddhism and Taoism?"
Master Yin Guang didn't understand why Lin Ye asked this, but he still smiled and patiently explained: "Of course not."
Lin Ye: ...
"Mr. Lin, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. There is no need to hide it." Master Yin Guang saw that Lin Ye was hesitant to speak, and comforted him.
"The Buddha made a Taoist hand seal."
Master Yin Guang: …
Grass is a plant!
Looking at Lin Ye's cautious expression, he really wanted to go for a big one.
I gave you an initiation with Buddhist teachings, and you visualized a Buddha with a Tao seal, and you are talking nonsense to me here.
"Mr. Lin, don't be ridiculous. How can a Buddha make a Taoist seal?"
Master Yin Guang silently chanted a few Buddhist names. Lin Ye just felt a strong murderous intent. Although Master Yin Guang looked kind, for the sake of his own safety, he decided to skip this topic.
"Well, maybe I saw it wrong."
"Mr. Lin, since you have already visualized the Buddha's golden body, you only need to meditate on the Buddha's golden body in your mind when you practice in the future. I still have subsequent rituals to perform."
This is driving yourself down.
Lin Ye smiled bitterly and walked off the stage.
After getting off the stage, Lin Ye went straight to Dao Hai.
"Master Daohai, does everyone visualize a different Buddha image?"
"Well, Buddha has the appearance of all living beings, and the appearance is created by the mind. In the past hundred years, there have been a total of 234 warrior monks in our temple. According to the records in the Sutra Library, there are 143 kinds of Buddha appearances that can be seen."
"Is that so... Are there any particularly strange Buddha images, such as wearing Taoist robes or making Taoist hand seals?"
Dao Hai was a little confused when he heard Lin Ye ask this, and replied: "Mr. Lin, don't joke. Although Buddha has the appearance of all living beings, it is just a gesture. How can it be related to Taoism?"
"Is it impossible?"
"Absolutely not!"
Dao Hai was very sure, but Lin Ye was doubtful in his heart. He was sure that he was not mistaken. The hand seal made by the war Buddha was the Taoist hand seal. He made this hand seal when he practiced long-term meditation.
Did something happen to me?
Lin Ye did not show it on his face and absolutely refused to talk about this topic. He also did not reveal that the Buddha image he saw was a Taoist seal, otherwise he was afraid that the abbot would come down with a Zen stick to clean up the mess.
Returning to his own yard, Lin Ye began to practice.
Visualize the standing Buddha you saw during the day, and soon the surroundings turn into the empty sky and earth again.
Above the clouds, a golden light suddenly appeared.
Lin Ye recited the Vajra Subduing Demon Sutra, and the golden light seemed to be guided and fell on Lin Ye.
hiss!
Lin Ye suddenly gasped in pain. The golden light fell on him, stinging his entire body like needles.
"What went wrong?"
Lin Ye was puzzled. According to what Abbot Yin Guang said, if he sensed the Buddha's image, he would practice and visualize the Buddha's image in the future, and then the Buddha's light would fall down to bless his practice.
Being surrounded by the Buddha's light, it should be warm and comfortable.
"The Buddha image I saw was condensed into a Dao Seal. Could this be the problem?"
After pondering for a moment, Lin Ye made a bold decision. He recited the Vajra Subduing Demon Sutra, but his hands were in a Taoist seal.
As the hand seal changed, the golden light in the sky dissipated. Lin Ye's heart skipped a beat, wondering if he had made things worse.
Just when Lin Ye was feeling uneasy, a ray of light suddenly fell from the sky, and the cyan-gold light enveloped his entire body.
When the light fell on his body, Lin Ye's blood instantly boiled, surging wildly like a shark that smelled blood.
Hot and burning!
At the same time, the three Qi points in Lin Ye's body that were activated by his merits were also emitting light and heat. These light and heat stimulated his body, and streams of energy began to flow in his body.
Crackling!
Lin Ye could feel the sound of his own bones, including his blood, flesh, tendons and bones, all of which were being washed away by this energy at this moment!
One second, two seconds...
A quarter of an hour later, Lin Ye's body finally calmed down.
Just three seconds later, Lin Ye's hand seals changed, and he began to use the Tiger Roar Force. There were thunder and lightning between his fists and feet, and most people would be frightened just by hearing the sound of his fists and feet.
My martial arts have improved further.
There was a gleam in Lin Ye's eyes. Although he failed to break through to the Jingzhe realm, he was very confident now. He was definitely the best under Jingzhe.
Lin Ye looked up at the sky, and the Buddha image in the clouds actually moved. The Buddha standing on the lotus platform threw a punch, which was the starting move of his Tiger Roar Force.
A punch was thrown out, with golden light shining brightly, but it disappeared the next moment, and at the same time Lin Ye retreated from that world.
"This Buddha statue can move on its own?"
Lin Ye's expression was indescribably strange. According to Master Yin Guang, when observing the Buddha's image and cultivating the Buddha's light, the Buddha's image never moves. Whatever posture the Buddha takes during visualization, that is the posture. What one needs to do in practice is to slowly condense this Buddha's image. Once the condensation is successful, one will enter the golden body realm.
My Buddha image will move, so how can I condense it?
Forget it, I don’t want to go that far.
Lin Ye is a person who is easily satisfied. Being able to come to another world is already a pleasant surprise. Let's wait and see how far he can cultivate in the future.
This time of visualization helped him to improve his strength.
It's time to go back and deal with Li Xiaoyun.
The next day!
Lin Ye donated another 1,000 taels of silver, then said goodbye to Master Yin Guang, and drove the carriage back to his residence in Shangyang County, carrying the two tiger legs and tiger treasures that he had not finished eating.
"Old Huang, I haven't seen you for a while. Do you miss me?"
After returning to the house, Lin Ye went to the cowshed in the backyard to check on the yellow cattle. When the cattle saw Lin Ye coming in, its big eyes like copper bells widened and it began to kick the ground with its hooves, as if it had seen a mortal enemy.
Snapped!
Lin Ye rudely gave him a big punch!
"You bastard, you don't know what's good for you. If it weren't for me, you would have been dead by now. How dare you glare at me!"
Moo!
Snapped!
Moo!
Snapped!
The scalper was very stubborn and Lin Ye would not give in to him.
Finally, the scalper bowed his head.
Lin Ye felt relieved.
Afterwards, Lin Ye asked Xu Bo to bring a big pot and set up a stove in the backyard with firewood. He threw the two tiger legs in to cook, while he went to the study to draw talismans.
Although he was confident that he could subdue Li Xiaoyun, for the sake of safety, Lin Ye decided to draw a batch of talismans first and be cautious.
This painting took several hours.
In the backyard, the yellow cattle looked at the iron pot not far away with the aroma of hot meat. A cunning look flashed in the cattle's eyes in a very human way. It rushed out of the cowshed, pushed open the lid of the pot with its horns, bit a cooked tiger leg, and swallowed it in a few bites.
belch!
After swallowing a tiger leg, the yellow cow burped, looked at the only tiger leg left in the pot, suddenly raised its hoof and kicked it, directly overturning the pot and the tiger leg together.
Moo!
The scalper's eyes revealed a sense of revenge, and he even felt unsatisfied. He walked to the iron pot and kicked it several times, breaking it into pieces.
In the study, Lin Ye heard the noise outside the door and hurried out. When he saw the iron pot that was kicked by the yellow cow and the tiger's leg covered with dust, he looked at the yellow cow with murderous eyes.
Moo!
The ox roared triumphantly at him.
"You beast, I'm going to beat you to death today."
Moo!
Lin Ye: ＼(·_·) Iron Sword! (·_·)／(·|·)! Split! (；_｜(＾＾)ノ|_；) in half
Scalper: _(：3」∠)_
…
…
After dealing with the scalpers and drawing the talisman, Lin Ye set himself to idle for 3 days and then returned to the real world with Tiger Bao.
