Chapter 419: Guiding the Ascetic (2)
Lu Yi removed the Dream Bubble Pearl, revealing his true form.
The old monk had already said it all, so there was no point in hiding his identity any further.
He shook his burly body, stretched his muscles and bones which had been squeezed and a little sore during the constant movement in the void, made a series of loud bone joint sounds, and then Lu Yi took out a new monk's robe and put it on.
I was too lazy to pay attention to the old monk and continued to look around the environment.
The old monk didn't say anything, just looked at Lu Yi with a smile.
The black lotus in this pool can be said to be a top-level Buddhist treasure, and its value is inestimable... At least where Lu Yi swept his eyes, he saw words gushing out from a few clusters of black lotus, which contained records of magical powers such as "Finger of Reincarnation" and "Heavenly Dragon's Chant".
Fortunately, the Samsara Tribulation Fingerbook only contains three chapters: life, death, and reincarnation. It lacks the two most ferocious chapters: the Eighteen Hells and the Avici Hell.
The magical power of Tianlongyin is also incomplete, lacking the most important essence of Tianlongyin's "continuous and sound spreads thousands of miles".
The power of this fragment of the Dragon Song was roughly the same as that of the Lion's Roar of Buddhism, and it became a sound wave magical power with extremely strong explosive power. However, it only killed instantly, and lost the purifying power of the Dragon Song that was "long, mellow, and repeatedly cleansing."
However, even so, the value of this pond of spiritual liquid, the spiritual objects in the pond, and the scriptures and magical powers in the black lotus is immeasurable.
Beside this pond, which covers an area of a thousand miles, there are towering mountains.
On these mountains, many large and small caves have been carved, in which there are countless images of Buddha, Bodhisattva, Vajra, Vajra, Arhat, Heavenly King, and even flying celestials, Yakshas, Rakshasas, and celestial dragons.
These carvings are lifelike, some are as tall as ten miles, and some are as small as sesame seeds.
But no matter how big or small, these statues always release a faint Buddhist light with different colors and endless changes, as if all the rainbows in the sky were kneaded and stuffed into these statues, making people dazzled.
On these statues, every carving mark carries its own Taoist charm and is filled with all kinds of inexplicable Buddhist flavor.
Some are mighty and majestic, some are sacred and supreme, some are pure and cool, some are quiet and free...
Around those peaks, there are many Buddhist temples and Zen temples, surrounded by green pines and cypresses, as well as bodhi trees, dragon blood trees, etc. Next to the Zen temples and Zen halls, there are towering pagodas, and wind chimes are hung under the eaves. When the breeze blows, there are crisp "ding ding" sounds everywhere, giving people a sense of cleansing the internal organs and refreshing the whole body.
Look at some mountains in the distance.
There are also . Because the spiritual energy of the world in this cave is particularly rich and the rhyme of heaven and earth is particularly distinct, these mountain peaks are full of extremely rare spiritual medicines and herbs.
From time to time, one can see transformed mushroom people and mushroom horses wandering in the mountains and forests. There was a transformed Polygonum multiflorum that turned into a little old man, who imitated the appearance of human fishermen and fished by the stream, but was accidentally pulled by a hooked eel and almost fell into the stream and drowned.
What a beautiful paradise.
That is, it is a little less populated.
As far as Lu Yi could see, within a radius of more than a thousand miles, apart from him and the old monk, there were only seven or eight scattered old monks in the Zen temples at the foot of a few nearby mountains.
None of these old monks are doing anything serious.
There was a dead body lying on the bed.
One of them was dozing off against the wall.
There was one person holding a gavel and smashing a large jar of grapes, apparently preparing to make wine.
There was another one that was even better. He had stolen a big yellow dog from somewhere and was skinning it with a smile on his face... There was a bonfire next to it, and a dozen bowls and plates, with all kinds of condiments such as chili powder.
There are several others, and what they are doing are even more bizarre.
For example, an old monk is holding a ruler and teaching an ordinary big grass carp in a water tank how to transform into a five-clawed golden dragon... If the big grass carp moves a little, the ruler will hit it on the forehead.
Poor thing, pitiful thing. Lu Yi felt that this master would have to find a reasonable excuse to kill the poor grass carp and cook it in a frying pan before he could do such a thing that was so unreasonable.
"How about here?"
The old monk floating in front of him asked Lu Yi with a smile.
"What a wonderful, supreme blessed land." Lu Yi did not play it safe and praised this wonderful land very straightforwardly.
Wow, monks don’t tell lies, this cave is really good, extremely good.
"It's just that the population is a little sparse." Lu Yi continued to tell the truth.
"There is nothing we can do about it. Not everyone knows about the existence of Mahakala, and not everyone can come here casually and be qualified to join Mahakala."
The old monk smiled and said, "Not to mention, most of the members of Mahakala are out there."
Lu Yu said "Oh", "I see."
He looked at the old monk and said, "So, just because I can come here, I am qualified to join Mahakala?"
The old monk smiled and nodded: "Yes."
Lu Yi immediately climbed up the pole and asked, "May I ask your Dharma name, Master?"
The old monk narrowed his eyes, and his pupils, which were clearly black and white, turned into pure black again... It was deeper and more subtle than the most extreme black that Lu Yi had ever seen or imagined, and it made people feel an inexplicable... attraction from the depths of their souls!
The old monk's eyes seemed to be telling Lu Yi subtly and constantly - 'All things will eventually return to silence, and I am the end of your return to silence.'
If one's character is a little weaker, and one's self-control is a little insufficient, an ordinary cultivator, seeing the old monk's eyes, would probably throw himself at him like a moth to a flame, and then... bow down in worship, using up all of his life, all of his soul, and everything he has to believe in and worship him, and finally turn everything he has into flames, burn up and become one with him!
Lu Yi shuddered.
"My Buddha...have mercy!" Lu Yi chanted the Buddha's name, and a Vajra image rose above his head. A magnificent, majestic, blazing, and powerful Buddha power washed over his body, peeling off and washing away the weird feeling of self-sacrifice bit by bit.
"The old monk Jie Yin." The old monk smiled with satisfaction: "The fellow disciples in Mahakala all call the old monk Jie Yin Toudao."
The old monk gestured to Lu Yi to follow him, then turned around , put his hands behind his back , took small steps, and slowly walked towards a hill in the distance where a giant Buddha statue that was more than ten miles high was located.
The hill is about twenty miles high. Above the cave of the giant Buddha statue, there are hundreds of caves of various sizes. Inside are statues of various sizes, ranging from two or three miles to thirty or five meters in height.
And on the top of the mountain, there is a small thatched cottage.
It is called a thatched hut, but in fact it is just dozens of green bamboo poles propped up on the ground, with a layer of support woven with bamboo strips on top of the poles, and some thatch or something like that spread on it.
It's just a ceiling cover, with no walls.
The ground was also covered with a layer of fine straw, and there were a few thatched cushions scattered on the ground.
Next to the cushion, there is a bamboo desk with the four treasures of the study and some Buddhist scriptures on it.
The most eye-catching thing is that next to the four treasures of the study, there is a wooden fish, a jade chime, a small tripod, and a small bell. At first glance, these four treasures look dull and covered with mottled marks of time.
However, when using the Dharma Eye to take a closer look, he discovered that these four treasures all had divine light hidden within them. All the mottled marks on the surface were filled with Dao rhyme and Dao patterns that were so rich that they had condensed into substance. Every mark contained a terrifying pressure that made people suffocate.
Seeing Jie Yin Tou Tuo leading him step by step towards the thatched cottage, Lu Yi couldn't help but grin.
The aura of these four powerful treasures is even stronger than that of the current Small Vajra Mount Sumeru. They are clearly powerful spiritual treasures from the other shore realm, containing tremendous power.
The old monk did not carry such a precious treasure with him when he was traveling.
Is it that he is too confident in his own cultivation... or is it that he has more powerful treasures on him, and these four treasures are just placed here unused?
Jie Yin Tou Tuo did not look back, but he seemed to see Lu Yi grinning.
He smiled and said, "Do you like those four treasures?"
Lu Yi said very frankly: "Yes, I like it very much."
Jieyin Tou Tuo smiled and said without turning his head: "If you like it, I'll give it to you... Well, pick one for yourself!"
Lu Yu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Really?"
Jieyin Tou Tuo smiled and nodded: "It is true."
Lu Yi continued to ask: "You won't return?"
Jieyin Tou Tuo nodded continuously: "Monks do not tell lies. These mere possessions outside of our bodies ..."
Lu Yi laughed and took a step forward to the thatched cottage on the top of the hill. He looked at the four treasures on the table and grabbed the square four-legged tripod that looked like bronze with countless mottled marks on its surface.
This small tripod has a strange shape, four legs, no ears, and is covered with Taotie patterns all over.
The three sides of this small tripod are identical, except for one side, in the middle of which, amidst the endless Taotie patterns, there is an embossed large mouth that inexplicably makes one's heart frightened.
There are no other facial features, just a big mouth.
The big mouth pretended to smile, but a line of blood was faintly visible in the gap between the lips, which gave people an inexplicable feeling of being bottomless.
Because of the blood, the big-mouthed smile was filled with a certain evil feeling.
For some reason, Lu Yi took a liking to this small tripod.
The other three treasures have a pure and peaceful aura, which is the style of Buddhist treasures.
Only this small tripod was filled with murderous energy, and it was on the path of killing... and Lu Yi was more than capable of defending himself, so his offensive power was slightly lacking in comparison.
Especially the Small Vajra Mount Sumeru, which also focuses more on defense.
He needs a treasure for attacking.
Although he didn't understand the mystery of this small tripod, its ferocious aura was exactly what Lu Yi needed.
"Have you taken a fancy to him? That is your destiny." The old monk appeared silently behind Lu Yi: "This tripod is called 'Blood Taotie'. It is a very evil creature. It devours everything and turns it into bloody gluttony. It devours everything and corrodes everything. It is extremely ferocious and extremely powerful in killing people."
Lu Yi gently picked up the bloody Taotie and said with a smile: "This is it, I won't change it ..."
An extremely ferocious roar came from the depths of the small cauldron, as if a peerless ferocious beast was awakening.
