Chapter 65: The Grand View of the Attic (October Outbreak Notice)
Yifeng entered the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, only then did he really feel the profound and solid and grand heritage of Nanzong Temple, and through the gaze of the monks on duty outside the door, he crossed the high threshold, and was shocked by the golden splendor in front of him.
He looked up and saw that the Scripture Pavilion was in the form of a circular attic, spiraling up layer by layer, and each ring attic had an overhead crimson wooden corridor frame, which intersected in the space in the center of the attic, making it easy to walk around the attic in all directions.
On the corridor, there are many huge Buddha beads with warm golden light reflecting each other, forming layers of golden light roofs, dividing the entire scripture pavilion into 28 layers.
Looking up from the center of the first floor, the roof of each floor is a huge, golden wheel with staggered patterns, and the higher the floor, the smaller the golden wheel, and the more blurred the shape and texture.
Yifeng counted carefully, and from here, he could see at most the eighth layer, which is the top layer of supernatural powers and exercises, and then the area where the Buddhist scriptures are located, so he couldn't see clearly.
The attic itself is on the edge of the huge golden wheel, and leads to the upper floor through a wide wooden staircase with open wooden balustrades, each of which is set up with very tall bookcases, one next to the other, from the edge of the golden wheel to the wall, and the wall itself is also a tall bookcase, with tens of thousands of books and books neatly arranged.
Standing at the bottom of the attic and looking at the past, Yifeng was like being in the abyss of ancient books, surrounded by millions of exercises and Buddhist scriptures, wide and deep, the twenty-eight floors of corridors, the glowing golden roofs and the vast sea of books, were already at the limit of his eyes, and at this moment he forgot about the outside world, as if floating above the heavens.
At this time, there were very few people in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, Master Zhiran took everyone to register at the registration office in the attic on the first floor, and the white-bearded old monk in the registration office looked Wei Wei trembling, but the profound cultivation aura of the Mahayana realm was so overwhelming that he did not dare to relax at all.
The old monk slowly and solemnly informed Yifeng and the others that except for the Buddhist scripture attic above the eight-story building, which cannot be climbed, other exercises and magical powers can be chosen by themselves, limited to one hour.
If you need to choose a book of exercises, you must go back to the registration office to register, and there is a special person in the rubbing room to use special supernatural powers for rapid rubbing, originally you can't take them out of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion privately, and each person can't have more than three exercises or supernatural powers.
The fire monkey smiled and said, "Master, aren't you afraid that these exercise cheats will be taken out and stolen by others?"
The old monk glanced at him and said: "Buddhism is boundless, the Buddha is destined for people, as long as there is a Buddha fate, he can practice the secret books of Buddhism, no matter where he is or what his identity is, he can be regarded as a person in Buddhism."
"However, there are all living beings in the world, and there is no one in a hundred cultivators, and there is no one in a thousand who can achieve the magical power of cultivating the exercises in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and how many people have cultivated to the first great realm or the Hinayana realm of Buddhism have come to an abrupt end, and there is no half of the benefit. ”
"But," the old monk paused, and said in a deep voice, "Every book of exercises and supernatural powers and the original of the Buddhist scriptures are treasures of Nanzong Temple, and one less will not work! If someone tries to carry them out of the attic without permission, the old monk guarantees that he will not be able to get out of this gate!"
Yifeng thought to himself, no wonder the development of Buddhism and Taoism was so rapid, it was introduced from abroad, and it soon grew into a sect that competed with Confucianism and Taoism, and it turned out that it was with this open mind.
However, before the old monk finished speaking, the fire monkey went around looking for exercises with his hands on his chest and his head up, and Shuli went up to the attic with his hands on his back.
Originally, Xiugu wanted to take Yifeng with her, but Yifeng shook her head vigorously.
The old monk looked at these undisciplined people, and coughed angrily, and his white beard shook and trembled.
Seeing that Yifeng hadn't moved, he couldn't help coughing and said, "You still know how to be polite than your senior brothers and sisters, and you can still listen to the old monk's admonition with peace of mind, but now that the old man has finished speaking, you can go and find the exercises you need." ”
Ichifeng still shook his head.
Master Ran watched from the sidelines, and he said to Yifeng: "Yifeng, you have any questions you can ask." ”
Yifeng glanced at Master Ran and the old monk, and said solemnly: "Two masters, I want to go to the Buddhist Scripture Pavilion." ”
The old monk was stunned for a moment, but Master Ran nodded unexpectedly and said: "Yifeng, don't worry, you go and find the exercises and supernatural powers that suit you first, and let the old man discuss this matter with the senior brother." ”
Yifeng nodded, and then went upstairs to find the magic powers.
After Master Ran waited for Yifeng to go up to the attic, he said to the old monk on the side: "Senior brother, what do you think?"
The old monk changed his state of relaxation and looked solemn: "This is the kind of person in the legend, right? It looks like you're just starting to grow, and you have a heavy burden on you." ”
Master Zhiran replied with the same seriousness: "Yes, senior brother, what about him going to the Buddhist Sutra Pavilion?"
The abbot suddenly turned out from a corner of the Scripture Pavilion and looked at Master Ran.
"Go ahead, he'll have to face it sooner or later. ”
Gongfa Pavilion, 8th floor.
There is a bookcase at the entrance here, which is no different from other bookcases, with a lot of magical powers on it, and in the middle is the Canaan Sutra.
This book that set off a boom in Buddhism and Taoism laid the foundation of the world, just placed in this ordinary bookcase, and more than a dozen of the same facsimiles are placed in a row, the heavy books and papers are flipped through and worn, much more simple than the exquisite appearance of other exercise books, if it were not for the words Canaan no chanting scriptures written on the spine, I am afraid that in this exercise pavilion, there will be no day to see the sky.
When Yifeng came here, there were already a few copies missing, presumably the senior brothers and sisters had already taken them away and went to find their own supernatural secrets.
Yifeng also took a copy of the Canaan Sutra before he began to look for the supernatural secrets he was interested in.
Almost every bookcase in the attic has a detailed description posted on the side, writing the classification, what kind of book or cheats are inside, what kind of exercises it belongs to, and so on.
After a few laps around the upper and lower floors of the attic, Yifeng discovered the characteristics of the inductive books in the Gongfa Pavilion area.
According to the guidance of the iron label attached to the bookcase in the attic, he learned that the most powerful Tianwei Gong is characterized by cooperating with the exercises to comprehend the Buddhist scriptures, deeply study the mysteries of the Buddhist exercises, improve cultivation, and improve the realm.
The characteristics of Tianwei supernatural power are to cooperate with Tianwei Gongfa to exert the supreme supernatural power of Buddhism, and the highest achiever can even attract the heavenly power of the Buddha Kingdom above the heavens, strengthen the power of supernatural power, and the combat power is very terrifying.
The second-ranked Jizo Gong Fa mainly studies the operation of the aura of all things in the world, and with the help of all things in the world, the aura of heaven and earth can be optimally operated in the body, so as to enhance cultivation and improve the realm.
And there are many kinds of Jizo supernatural powers, in the state of increasing the speed of spiritual energy, each realm of cultivation can exert the maximum power of supernatural powers, and with the increase of cultivation, the combat power is constantly superimposed.
The third is the Buddha's Taoist Exercises, which are divided into "spiritual system" and "heart system".
The "spirit system" exercise is based on the concept of the Buddha's degree of all things, and uses the characteristics of all things in the world, especially the supernatural beings, such as spiritual treasures, spiritual flowers and spiritual grasses, spiritual beasts and exotic beasts, to master and control their characteristics, and discover unique supernatural powers.
The main principle of "heart connection" is to comprehend the Dharma, exercise the Buddha's mind and soul, and the magic power is the soul of attacking the enemy when facing the enemy, so that it can not perform the magic power as desired, and the biggest feature of the heart is not noticed, and it has a secret and unexpected special effect.
The last kind of mortal exercises are even more complex, among which the "Strength" Exercise and the "Soldier" Exercise are the most prominent.
The "Strength Dao" exercise is mainly dedicated to nourishing the body through the operation of spiritual energy, strengthening the body's meridians and skeletal muscles to enhance the body's body, highlighting the enhancement of body functions, and exerting special body-based supernatural powers.
The "Soldier's Path" magic power is mainly for the study of the fusion of spiritual energy and spiritual weapons to make the magic weapons of spiritual weapons display the best power.
Yifeng turned out the Canaan Sutra again, and after looking through it carefully, he found that the Canaan Sutra of Thoughtless Sutra is a Tianwei exercise, but it is far from being as profound as he imagined.
It integrates the simplest Buddhist principles into the cultivation of the exercises, using the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as a guide, and the whole body uses the spiritual power of the Buddha to nurture the Buddha's mind and Buddha nature, but the most difficult part is to understand the Buddha's principles.
The road is simple, the elephant is invisible, the sound is loud, the simpler the Buddha's principle is often the most mysterious, so to understand the Buddhist scriptures, the stones of other mountains can attack the jade, only with the help of understanding the Buddhist scriptures, in order to cultivate the practice to a higher level.
Of course, in addition to enlightenment, it is also mentioned in the Canaanite Sutra that there is another way to go to the mortal world to practice.
Whether it is the equality of all living beings in Buddhism or the cycle of life and death, all kinds of Buddhist teachings come from ordinary dust, and will also preach to ordinary dust, through the experience of ordinary dust, it is more direct and profound than the suffering in the Buddhist scriptures.
In addition, the way to go to the mortal world to experience cultivation has another layer of benefits.
The three realms of cultivators, whether it is the three realms of Confucianism's "standing up for meritorious service", or the three realms of Taoism's "Yuqing Shangqing Taiqing", or Buddhism's "Hinayana and Mahayana", all cultivators enter the next realm to cross the calamity, Confucianism and Taoism have their own cultivation thresholds to cross, and the three major calamities of Buddhism are also the nightmare of Buddhist practitioners.
To go through the three eons, see through the cycle of life and death and the destruction of cause and effect, and achieve the merit of purifying all sentient beings, it is of course better to experience in the mortal dust only to participate in enlightenment in Buddhist scriptures.
The cultivation path of the Canaan Sutra is to deeply understand the cycle of life and death and the extinction of the human world, and to help practitioners successfully overcome the calamities of cultivation.
The Buddha has no self, Canaan has no thoughts, and this is the essence of this exercise.
After roughly looking at the Gongfa Pavilion, Yifeng put the Canaan Wuchanting Sutra Exercise on his body, the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion was too big, and he couldn't see where the senior brothers were, so he had to go downstairs.
When borrowing books on each floor, the monk on duty at the entrance of this floor must check it first, register in advance, and when going to the other floor, check whether there are any errors or omissions in his previous reading, and finally go down to the first floor for registration and rubbing.
Although he hadn't chosen the supernatural power to cultivate, what he wanted to go to most now was the Buddhist scripture pavilion above.
He needed to go down to the first floor to register and rubbing, and then ask Master Ran and the old monk on duty if he was allowed to go to the Buddhist scripture pavilion.
In fact, for him, the Canaan Sutra is not his favorite exercise, what he wants most is the meditation and silence extinguishing exercise, he has an intuition, he always feels that the broken, legendary, scattered all over the Great Martial Kingdom meditation and silence extinguishing gong is the most suitable for him.
Yifeng absentmindedly came to the first floor of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, Master Zhiran and the old monk on duty were waiting for him, and after the old monk on duty asked Yifeng to register, he went to the rubbing room to rub the Canaan Sutra.
The monks in the rubbing room used their special magical powers to rub the secret books of the exercises directly onto the new books.
When he came out, Master Zhiran nodded at him and said solemnly: "Yifeng, I and the senior brother on duty have told the abbot senior brother, and the abbot not only allowed it, but also specially asked the old man to take you to the top and most secret third floor of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion!"
