Chapter 33: Comparable to Gods and Buddhas
Chapter 33 : Comparable to Gods and Buddhas
Inside the former site of Jingyan Temple .
There are two buildings here , one new and one old , in the north and south .
In the wide courtyard in the middle , a huge tripod is placed on a stone base .
There are potted flowers all around , which are fragrant and pure .
The four big characters " Jinglian Jingshe " are cast on the body of this incense and candle tripod .
Not far away is the dormitory , which is the resting place for the female monks in the monastery .
The two women Xu Xiaoli had met before entered the house cautiously .
There are three beds inside .
There was a steady breathing sound coming from the innermost bed , indicating someone was sleeping .
If they were ordinary sisters , they would definitely turn on the lights .
Unfortunately, the person sleeping inside was a woman who came from out of town to attend the Dharma Assembly tomorrow .
During the courtesy , the two women still did not turn on the lights .
With the help of the moonlight outside, they groped their way to the window , then undressed and prepared to go to sleep .
However , unexpectedly, their actions were very gentle , but the female lay Buddhist still woke up suddenly .
" ah ! "
The female resident sat up suddenly and screamed , as if she had been awakened from a nightmare .
The slightly plump woman quickly turned on the light and asked with concern , " Master Mei , are you okay ? "
Mr. Mei, with disheveled hair , had beads of sweat on his forehead .
She pointed toward the main hall with some fear . " I ... I dreamed that ... some divine being broke into the temple . "
Godly man ?
Break into the Buddhist temple ?
As female practitioners , the two women naturally believed in gods and Buddhas . When they suddenly heard Mr. Mei say this , they immediately asked .
" What's going on ? "
" Mr. Mei , please explain in detail . "
Monk Mei's eyes were filled with terror . He swallowed his saliva with lingering fear as he spoke , " Just now, I dreamt that a young man broke into a temple . An Asura tried to stop him , but the young man summoned countless five -clawed golden dragons . In the end , the Asura was defeated , and he headed towards the Buddhist temple . "
Slightly plump women : “ … … ”
Another slender woman : " … "
It is true that they both believe in gods and Buddhas .
But what Mr. Mei said is too mysterious .
What is this battle between the Golden Dragon and Ashura ? Are you filming a science fiction movie in your dream ?
The two of them comforted Mr. Mei .
It simply means that he is under great mental pressure and has wild dreams and delusions at night .
Mr. Mei also felt that he was dreaming .
But she felt it was so real that she lost her sleepiness for a moment .
Afterwards , she said something to the two women , put on her clothes and went out to relax .
It was nothing at first .
However, when she reached the door , she found that an Ashura statue was cracked .
Mr. Mei's pupils contracted and he was shocked . Was everything he dreamed about real ?
If this is true , then who is that young god ?
He is so powerful !
… …
Fang Yi strolled in the divine realm .
As soon as I thought about it , I arrived at the foot of the mountain .
Then he got a big fright .
Because there was actually an Asura standing here that looked exactly like the one he had fought with , but his body had been shrunk to the height of an ordinary adult male .
Fang Yi was almost scared and ran away .
After all , the power that Asura just displayed was too terrifying .
Even if he summoned a golden dragon in his prime, he could n't destroy the opponent .
Not to mention that I am now low on health .
However , this Asura seemed to have died silently .
Fang Yi reached out and touched it curiously .
In an instant , Asura disappeared .
" It turned out to be an illusion . "
He couldn't help but think of the golden boy and jade girl beside the Wong Tai Sin Temple in the village , but they didn't separate after being touched .
Fang Yi was about to enter the Buddhist kingdom .
As a result, he was surprised to see several strange - looking statues standing on the ground around the foot of the mountain .
The closest to Asura is a golden - winged Garuda with a raised wish - fulfilling jewel on its head . Its image is a bit like Garuda , one of the eight celestial dragons in Buddhism .
Further away is an adult male with a horn on his head , who looks a bit like Kinnara , the god of song , who is also one of the Eight Heavenly Dragons .
Next to Kinnara is Mahoraka , a giant python god with a human body and a snake head .
In the distance there are also Gandharvas with octagonal crowns on their heads , naked bodies as big as the bull king , and Yaksha kings with wrathful appearances , wearing jeweled crowns on their heads , exposing their upper bodies , holding vajra in their hands .
" Hmm ? Eight Heavenly Dragons ? "
Fang Yi was stunned for a moment .
I see six here , where are the other two ?
He looked toward the lake in the distance .
I discovered that there was indeed a huge Naga with a human head and a snake body floating in the air .
These are the dragons among the Eight Heavenly Dragons .
I didn’t see where the heavenly beings were .
Fang Yi didn't think much about it .
As soon as the thought came , he arrived at the Buddha's kingdom in heaven .
The next moment , a shocking scene unfolded .
This huge and boundless Buddhist kingdom is home to Brahma , Indra , the Four Heavenly Kings and other celestial beings !
The eight heavenly dragons have gathered together !
Fang Yi was shocked .
If I am not mistaken , these eight celestial dragons are the guardian gods of the divine realm .
Perhaps because the incense has been lost , the other guardian gods no longer have the divine power to activate them .
So just now only Ashura and I fought ?
" Whose divine domain is this , that it requires the Eight Heavenly Dragons to protect it ? "
He had a premonition that the master of this divine domain was no ordinary person .
The Buddhist kingdom is filled with pagodas and temples .
Fang Yi didn't care about these .
Go straight to the main hall in the middle .
In the middle of the hall , there is a red painted plaque with the words " Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss " written on it .
hiss !
Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss ?
Is n’t this where Amitabha Buddha resides ?
Fang Yi was a little confused .
Based on the myths and legends he learned .
Amitabha Buddha has no temple in the human world .
How come the divine realm that appeared here is actually the Pure Land of Bliss ?
I ca n't figure it out .
He didn't think about it anymore .
Walked into the hall .
There is a couplet on the pillars of the Buddhist temple :
Comprehending the profound and wonderful Dharma , all sentient beings in the Saha world enter the Vairocana Ocean of Nature ;
By practicing the excellent cause of reciting the Buddha’s name , all sentient beings of the three roots will be able to cross to the other shore of the Pure Land .
There are three plaques in the middle above the couplet .
The plaque in the middle reads " Save all living beings " .
The two plaques on the left and right are inscribed with " Million Virtues and Majesty " and " Unrivaled Dharma " respectively .
There is nothing else in the main hall except a shrine enshrining three Buddhas .
In front of the Buddha shrine , there is a brocade curtain embroidered with four large characters " Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere " .
Under the shade of the long sail canopy and glazed lights .
Fang Yi finally saw clearly who these three Buddha statues with smiling , serene expressions were !
It turned out to be the Three Holy Ones of the West !
What are the Three Holy Ones of the West ?
The Three Holy Ones of the West are also known as the Three Amitabhas .
In the middle is Amitabha Buddha , with Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva standing on the left and Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva standing on the right .
After figuring out whose divine domain this was , Fang Yi became even more confused .
" The Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva's temple is on Wolf Mountain , the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva's temple is on Putuo Mountain in the Zhoushan Islands , and Amitabha Buddha has no temple on earth . Why are the Three Holy Ones of the West here ? "
Then he recalled the contents of the Buddhist scriptures .
Although Amitabha Buddha has no temple in the human world , he has forty -eight Dharma forms .
What you see before your eyes is the image of the Buddha residing in the air .
The seventh contemplation of the Contemplation Sutra states : " Amitabha Buddha is standing in the sky , with Avalokitesvara and Mahasthamaprapta , the two great bodhisattvas , standing on his left and right. Their radiance is so blazing that it is impossible to see them all . For those who chant the Buddha 's name , Amitabha Buddha is always present above their heads . "
If that ’s the case , then this is not the dojo of Amitabha Buddha , nor is it the dojo of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva .
It is just the Dharma realm of Amitabha Buddha .
No wonder the Eight Heavenly Dragons are guarding it .
It turned out to be the divine realm of Amitabha Buddha .
Fang Yi seemed to be lost in thought .
Based on his previous experience in the small temple in the village , he reached out and touched the statue of Amitabha Buddha .
The next moment , the Buddhist kingdom in front of him shattered , leaving only endless nothingness .
And three strangely shaped " nets " filled with countless particles .
These " nets " are like the " nets " of the village statues , extending countless " tentacles " to touch the void , as if connecting to the universe .
The most important thing is that every particle of light on it is dazzling .
It seems to be filled with endless energy .
Seeing this , Fang Yi was very excited !
" Do all three Buddha statues have supernatural powers ? "
I originally thought that I would be satisfied just by acquiring a new magical power .
I never expected that there were three magical powers here !
Fang Yi was so happy that he almost fainted . He couldn't wait to immerse his soul in one of the " nets " and see what kind of magical power it was .
What surprised him was that he could n't even immerse himself in it !
That's not right !
You can enter the energy field of the village statue .
Fang Yi was puzzled .
Suddenly , he thought of something .
At that time , I was immersed in the energy field of the village statue because the golden elixir was embedded in the energy field .
Does it require the golden elixir to be embedded ?
Fang Yi became hesitant .
After a fierce battle with Asura just now , the energy of the golden elixir has been exhausted .
If embedded in an energy field , who knows what accidents might happen ?
" Forget it . I'll use the statue model to scan the structure formed by these three energy fields first . I 'll rebuild it when I 've recovered my strength . Well , once my golden elixir energy is restored , maybe I can come back here and try to use the energy fields of these three Buddha statues to achieve the unity of heaven and man . "
Fang Yi immersed his mind in the statue model and observed the energy field particle composition of the three Buddha statues .
The energy fields of these three Buddha statues are very complex .
For example, the biological energy field of Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva is composed of more than 5.4 billion particles of three types .
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva has almost 500 billion of them .
Only the particles that make up Amitabha Buddha 's energy field are particularly numerous , reaching hundreds of trillions .
Fortunately, these particles are static .
He was able to scan and copy the three energy field structures before he exhausted the remaining energy in the biological energy field .
" Huh , let 's return our thoughts to our bodies first . "
The brutal battle with Ashura caused Fang Yi 's soul to suffer serious " injuries " .
It needs to be nourished and repaired with the power of the golden elixir .
But now the energy of the golden elixir has been exhausted , and he has no way to repair it in time .
Thoughts recede into the body like the tide .
… …
Outside , in the car .
Xu Xiaoli kept staring at Fang Yi 's face .
The quick glimpse she had earlier of Fang Yi and Asura fighting had left her with a deeply shocking impression .
She naturally wanted to know the outcome of the battle , so she kept staring at Fang Yi .
Just as she was staring in a trance .
Suddenly , Fang Yi slowly opened his eyes .
Xu Xiaoli was overjoyed and eagerly asked , " Master , did you win ? "
It was fine before I returned to my physical body .
However, at this moment , Fang Yi, who had returned to his body , only felt a splitting headache .
He knew that the intense pain was caused by trauma to his soul .
The body is also extremely weak .
That 's because the golden elixir has exhausted its energy and is constantly drawing it from the physical body .
I ’m tired . Really tired .
And the body seems to be hollowed out .
He did n't have the strength to speak , he just tried his best to utter a weak " hmm " .
Although the situation is very bad .
But Fang Yi's heart was burning with passion .
I made a lot of money this time !
He actually obtained three magical powers !
It’s a pity that we still don’t know the specific functions of these three magical powers .
You will have to wait until you recover and build a model to know .
Fang Yi was very satisfied with tonight's harvest .
It was just the weakness coming from his body that made him close his eyes again .
He closed his eyes .
But Xu Xiaoli, who got the correct answer , was trembling slightly with excitement .
Awesome !
Master Fang is so awesome !
Even the Asura who covered the sky and the sun could be defeated easily !
At this moment, she finally understood the extent of Fang Yi's magical powers .
It is definitely an existence comparable to gods and Buddhas .
Xu Xiaoli was determined to stick to Fang Yi even if she had to work like a slave .
Maybe you will have the chance to achieve immortality by following such a divine being !
