Chapter Forty-Nine: One Hundred Thousand Undead Buckle the Buddha Gate
It has been ten years since Li Xingyun said goodbye to the old past.
He has not been adrift for ten years, nor has he been wandering for ten years, he has been practicing for ten years.
In the past ten years, he can't remember how many miles he has traveled and how many warm and cold worldly people he has seen, but he remembers very well that he has spent 3,752 days and 99,990 wandering souls who have not returned to hell. Many of them are the souls of the dead in battle in untouched ruins, and many come from the starving and dead villages that feed on people.
What he has seen and heard in the past ten years has made Li Xingyun deeply understand that the original world is not only the vast territory of the Eight Hundred Emperors Alliance, which is known to everyone for a hundred thousand years, but also the vast territory that is actually barren and miserable and no one cares about it.
He came from the place of death!
Zen Master Nanshan came from the place of death and brought 99,990 transcendent souls to Lingshan, the holy land of Tianxi Buddhism, in order to see the true Buddha of our Tao.
He came to ask for Buddha!
……
There is not much difference with the records of Buddhist scriptures and Taoism, and the holy land of Tianxi Zen Buddhism Lingshan is also known as Mount Meru.
The mountain is a lonely mountain, surrounded by an endless sea.
The sea name is Fanhai, also known as the sea of wisdom. Legend has it that the sea water of Fanhai is the supreme wisdom contained in the 100,000 scriptures of Buddhism.
I remember seeing some records in the library of Bodhi Academy, saying that the 36-petal lotus of the 36-character lotus recipe of the Sichuan character doorway passed down by the Wuxiang Taoist Sect is a Dao lotus that blooms in the Brahma Sea.
That year, the Bodhi ancestor was weak, and in order to repay the grace of the Buddha who gave the knife that year, he came to this day in the middle of the West Mirror to watch the Fanhai with a butcher's knife.
He looked at Mount Meru across the sea and sat for thirty-six years.
In these 36 years, the young ancestor comprehended the 36 roots of wisdom contained in Brahma Hai. The essence of the root of wisdom eventually turned into thirty-six lotus petals and floated from the bottom of the sea to form a Dao lotus.
The ancestor of Bodhi picked the lotus, and since then he realized that the Buddha is the way of the Tao, and then there was the Bodhi Academy...... Thinking of the Bodhi Academy, which carries many good memories, the dusty Nanshan Zen master Li Xingyun Gujing Wubo's heart slightly reveals a little sunny-like warmth.
Yes, crossing the boundless Brahma Sea by boat alone, he did not fear for his safety at all.
Even if he knows that since the opening of the ancestral court of Buddhism, except for the true Buddha of Zen Buddhism, no one has ever crossed the sea to successfully reach Mount Meru, the holy land on the other side.
He came to seek the Buddha, and naturally he had the belief of seeking the true Buddha.
The sea breeze blows on the face, lifting the simple monk's robes.
Nanshan Zen Master Li Xingyun's emaciated face felt a little cool wetness, and for a while he unconsciously got rid of the fatigue of this journey, as if the whole person was much more relaxed and happy in an instant.
He didn't pay any attention to it.
Crossing the sea by boat, it is estimated that it has been about two hours, and the Nanshan Zen master holding the nine-tin ring staff still has not seen any traces of the Buddha's light flashing around the calm Fanhai, but since he has come here, he will not break his promise.
He put the nine-tin ring staff inherited by the Red Leaf Zen Master lightly beside him, so he sat cross-legged in the boat. With a slight stroke of his left hand, a slender box flashed out of the crescent pendant.
This is the box that the gentleman gave him.
He only knew that there was a sword in the box, but at first he didn't know what the sword in the box was. It took ten years for him to learn the purpose of this sword.
After taking out the sword box, Nanshan Zen Master Li Xingyun closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, and when he opened his eyes again, there was no more debris under his eyes, like a clear ocean of soul.
He opened the sword box.
There is a sword in the sword case.
It wasn't a complete sword, it was a broken piece of the sword in seven, to be exact. Seven pieces of fragments were neatly arranged, combined into a complete long sword shape.
Zen master Li Xingyun placed the sword box across his legs, then closed his eyes, and his hands formed a strange Liumen Dao seal.
His lips and teeth twitched.
So around this boundless and obscure Brahma Sea, the sound of the past life was sung.
I only listened to the silent chant of the Nanshan Zen Master: "The edict of the Taishang, the lonely soul of Chaoru, the ghost of everything, the four lives are gracious." The headless one is super, the headless one rises, the gun is killed, and the diving rope is suspended. Bright death and secret death, unjust death, creditors and wronged families, begging for their lives. Kneeling in front of the stage, the gossip shines, stands out, and transcends others. For men and women, they bear their own responsibilities, rich and poor, and you recruit yourself. Rescue and other people, rush to overbirth, rescue and others, rush to overbirth......"
The sound of the mantra of the past reverberated over Brahma Hai.
I saw that the seven pieces of broken sword swords in the sword box suddenly emitted an extremely rich netherworld black qi, and the black qi was not a wisp, but a surging smoke, more and more, more and more dense. There are countless elf-like blue stars in the black air, as if 100,000 fireflies are trapped in a small secret room, and at this moment, the door of the secret room is suddenly opened, and the fireflies rush out as if desperately.
Among the seven broken sword swords, it was naturally not a real firefly.
This is the 100,000 souls of the Zen master who has spent more than ten years.
The ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety undead sealed in the sword box formed a dense netherworld black qi and hovered over the Brahma Sea. They finally got their wish and came to the legendary Buddha Gate Wisdom Sea.
Although they couldn't see the holy land of Sumeru Lingshan hidden in the depths of the Brahma Sea, they knew that the door of reincarnation and rebirth of the lonely soul was in front of them......
Nanshan Zen Master Li Xingyun's mantra is still echoing, and the voice is becoming more and more majestic.
Spread across the sea, go deep into the seabed, and reach the sky.
Gradually, there seemed to be an echo in the depths of the clouds: "The supreme and profound subtle method, millions of calamities are encountered." I have seen and heard it now, and I am willing to interpret the true righteousness of the truth......"
Over and over again, the echo became clearer and louder, until the sea breeze sent into the ears of Nanshan Zen master Li Xingyun, and the young Zen master finally opened his eyes as clear as a mirror.
He respectfully listened to this Jizo Sutra, the Sutra of Past Lives from the Buddhas of the Holy Land of Lingshan.
Zen master Li Xingyun finally showed a little bitter smile, he used the excesses of 100,000 undead to deduct the door of Buddhism, and finally lived up to his heart and saw the echo of Lingshan.
So he continued to recite the Taoist mantra of rebirth.
The clouds echoed with the Buddhist Gate Jizo Sutra.
When the two reached a kind of resonance, a dazzling Void Gate appeared in the clear blue sky, which was the legendary Gate of the Dead.
The 100,000 undead hovering in mid-air saw the door of the dead open, and they swarmed away as if they had been devoured.
When the last bits of blue undead disappeared at the Gate of the Dead, the sky returned to its blue blue. There was no chanting echo in the air, and everything seemed to be calm again.
Nanshan Zen master Li Xingyun stood on top of the flat boat with a nine-ring tin staff, looking into the distance.
In the distance, there is a fiery red leaf floating along with the waters of the Fanhai Sea.
Zen master Li Xingyun was wearing a crown, he took half a step, and saw that this foot was about to step into the sea water, but when the soles of his feet really touched the sea water, the red leaves were just under his feet.
Li Xingyun, a Zen master who crossed the sea by red leaves, put his palms together: "Amitabha." ”
Not far away, the sea water of Fanhai is surging endlessly, and there is a sacred Buddha Gate Ling Mountain, which seems to emerge from the bottom of the sea and comes into view.
