The area of the courtyard where Patriarch Bodhidharma once lived was not large, only five or six bungalows, and the area of each room was only a hundred square meters.

In fact, this is a great disrespect to the patriarch, and he is very ashamed in his heart, but he is too eager to find out the secrets left by the patriarch Bodhidharma, especially the mystery of the Buddha's realm, and the clues of how to leave here, so he made this decision.

The furnishings of several houses are very simple, and they are not unusual from ordinary meditation rooms, but Zhan Chen sensed a trace of abnormality in the bedroom of Patriarch Bodhidharma.

It was a painting of the Buddha drawn by Patriarch Bodhidharma himself, and there was a fluctuation of the spiritual array behind that painting.

Zhan Chen carefully removed the painting, and found that a small palm-sized spirit array was drawn on the wall behind him with Du Ming's spirit patterns, this spirit array was very secretive, and a strong person who had not cultivated to the Dao realm could not detect it at all.

However, Zhan Chen was already a powerhouse in the Ten Thousand Laws Realm, and it was naturally easy to find out what was strange in it.

Standing in front of the spirit array and groaning, Zhan Chen pressed his palm against the wall, conveyed a trace of immortal yuan, activated the spirit array, and it immediately emitted a burst of light blue soft light, and then a portal appeared in front of Zhan Chen.

He showed a hint of a smile and muttered, "That's it, with the cultivation of the Bodhidharma Patriarch, how can a mere Bodhidharma Monastery be enough for him to toss?"

Zhan Chen stepped into the spirit array in one step, but the portal behind him disappeared immediately, and when he looked around carefully, he found that he had already found a strange world deep in the depths.

At his feet is a flat meadow, expanding forward, the area is hundreds of square kilometers, at the end of the meadow, there are rolling mountains, there are hundreds, but these mountains are generally not high, only one or two thousand meters, the mountains are full of green trees, herbs are fragrant, the stream is murmuring, the waterfall hangs the curtain, the ape and the bird song comes from afar, like a paradise.

Zhan Chen fixed his gaze on the mountain range in the distance and muttered, "If I were the Dharma Patriarch, I would definitely choose that mountain range as my retreat place." ”

So, he flew towards the mountain range, and soon came to the top of the mountain range, and then spread out his immortal sense to investigate carefully, and finally found the entrance to a cave next to a waterfall.

Zhan Chen's eyes lit up, and he flew over at the fastest speed, and entered the cave, there was a cave in the cave, with a radius of three hundred zhang and a height of fifty meters.

He looked around and found that the layout of this cave was almost the same as the retreat place of the Bodhidharma Patriarch on the Wanfa Continent, and the stone walls around the cave were carved with the text of Shuduo murals.

Zhan Chen's spirits were high, and he immediately flew to the stone wall, and suddenly he seemed to think of something and separated out of the cave mansion, after all, he still had to act as a tourist in the Dharma Monastery, and it was enough to leave these tasks to the doppelganger.

After doing this, Zhan Chen began to carefully observe the calligraphy and paintings on the stone wall.

On the stone wall is recorded the experience of Patriarch Bodhidharma here, as well as his latest understanding of Buddhism. Through reading, Zhan Chen finally understood what happened later.

It is said that after Patriarch Bodhidharma realized the realm of power and sainthood, like himself, he consciously reached a bottleneck in his cultivation, so he came up with the idea of leaving Buddhism and traveling abroad.

He first walked on the Ten Thousand Laws Continent, went through various tribulations and tests, and spent 30,000 years to finally reach the Vajra Realm, and then, like himself, he came to the Chaotic Ancient Land, continued to practice, and it took 100,000 years to comprehend the Bodhisattva Realm.

After entering the bodhisattva realm, Patriarch Bodhidharma felt that he had encountered a bigger bottleneck, that is, how to break through the bodhisattva realm and become a Buddha. He spent a million years searching for it, but in the end he found nothing.

But one day, in the face of the setting sun, Patriarch Bodhidharma suddenly blessed his soul, had inspiration, and once had an epiphany, he finally achieved the Buddha realm. Only then did he feel that his practice had reached the Great Perfection.

The power of the Buddha's realm is too great, far beyond the realm of the Great Perfection of the Ten Thousand Laws, and the Bodhidharma Patriarch has gained such a strong strength, and he is happy in his heart, thinking that he will be able to purify all sentient beings, punish the evil and help the weak, so he began to travel around again, spreading the Dharma everywhere, and guiding the people of the Ten Thousand Laws Continent to be good.

However, he immediately discovered the naivety of his thoughts, the people on the Wanfa Continent generally know how to cultivate immortals, and after gaining strong strength, they all like to fight fiercely, and it is difficult for his own concept of Buddhism to penetrate into the hearts of the people, and there are even fewer believers.

So Patriarch Bodhidharma was completely disappointed in the Wanfa Continent, and he used his power to open the rift in time and space, hoping to find a happy land in other worlds that could sow the seeds of Buddhism.

After that, in two million years, he visited thirteen worlds successively, bringing the Dharma to the places he passed, and the Shenzhou Continent happened to be the latest world he had recently arrived.

Seeing this, Zhan Chen suddenly became enlightened, and many questions that had been haunting his heart in the past had found answers, and he muttered: "Patriarch Bodhidharma has really achieved the Buddha realm, he is really amazing, a hundred times stronger than me, it seems that I have to work hard!" Zhan Chen clenched his fists.

He thought about it again: "But Patriarch Bodhidharma also told me another secret here, that is, after breaking through the Buddha's realm, he can open the crack in time and space and realize the shuttle in different worlds, and now, he is probably already in other worlds." However, if I can reach the Buddha realm myself, I can also do this, and then there will be hope for returning to the Ten Thousand Laws Continent!"

Zhan Chen was greatly encouraged, and he hurriedly began to search for the scriptures left on the wall by Patriarch Bodhidharma, hoping to find clues to break through the Buddha's realm.

Yet, looking through all the fifty-two verses carved into the stone wall, he was still in the clouds. Patriarch Bodhidharma only mentioned in a scripture called "The True Sutra of Rulai": The realm of the Buddha can only be understood but not spoken, he integrates all great wisdom and great justice, and purifies all sentient beings to save the suffering and save the suffering, and cannot be reached unless those who have great courage and perseverance. This is the key to breaking through the Buddha's realm, and secondly, you must integrate all your own strength into one furnace and comprehend the realm of "nothingness", so as to reach the Buddha's realm in strength, and that's all there is to it.

"What kind of realm is it to comprehend the realm of 'nothing'?" Zhan Chen was puzzled, and stayed in front of the stone wall for three days and three nights before he sighed: "The wisdom of Patriarch Bodhidharma is beyond my reach, and my utopian dreams have been here will not help in the slightest, Patriarch Bodhidharma also traveled around at the beginning, and it took a million years to break through the realm of Buddha in an epiphany, and I want to do it right now, which is obviously unrealistic." ”

Although Patriarch Bodhidharma did not explain, Zhan Chen faintly felt that his current self did not have the conditions to break through the Buddha's realm, either physically or mentally.

"It seems that breaking through the Buddha's realm is not an overnight thing, you can't be in a hurry, and it won't help if you're in a hurry!" In the end, he finally realized this truth.

Zhan Chen focused his attention on the "Rulai Sutra" directly below, because here Bodhidharma Patriarch found a very large symbol, this symbol is somewhat similar to Yin and Yang Taiji, drawing Yin and Yang Pisces, but the Yin and Yang Pisces on this are not two heads, but six heads, the head of the fish is facing inward, and the tail of the fish is facing outward, forming a pattern similar to the sun.

Next to this pattern, the Bodhidharma Patriarch famously called this seal called the "Yin Fruit Seal", and said that this seal has broken the avenue of the causal cycle of everything in the universe, and those who break through this path can obtain great wisdom.

"Cause and effect seal!" Zhan Chen muttered, remembering that the word "cause and effect" was the two most mentioned words in all the scriptures of Patriarch Bodhidharma. In his view, people's words and deeds will trigger causal changes, and the whole world is made up of countless causal interactions.

This is a mysterious and mysterious concept, and there is no way to study it at all, but Zhan Chen looked at the cause and effect mark on the wall, and there seemed to be an illusion in front of him.

In his eyes, this mark suddenly began to rotate, the yin fish and the yang fish quickly switched, and the boundaries between each other began to blur, and then he felt that the world was spinning, and he subconsciously looked away from the stone wall, only to find that his body was covered with sweat.

He couldn't help but be secretly shocked in his heart: "What is this causal seal, it can make me hallucinate, it is obvious that Patriarch Bodhidharma has injected mana into it, otherwise it would never have had such an effect." ”

Recovering a little, Zhan Chen looked at the mark again, and for seven days and seven nights, he insisted on observing until he carved this mark and how it worked into his heart.

He felt that he had not wasted these seven days, because this seal of cause and effect was most likely related to the Buddha realm.

Ten days passed like this, and at the end, Zhan Chen looked at the stone walls again and made sure that he had memorized everything before leaving the cave and returning to his room.

At this time, his doppelganger had been playing him well for ten days, and after Zhan Chen let the doppelganger disappear, he found Nian Zhen to go to him.

Nian Zhen looked at him but suddenly smiled and said, "War donor, it seems that you will have something to gain in the ten days you stay in the temple." ”

Zhan Chen nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you, Master, I'm leaving." With that, he turned around and walked out the door.

After leaving the Dharma Monastery, Zhan Chen was still excited, and what he wanted to do most at this time was to find a secluded place to retreat and cultivate.

However, when he passed a restaurant along the way, he saw a person who froze for a moment and stopped moving forward.
