Chapter 50: The Man Under the Bodhi Tree

Is there really a Bodhisattva Buddha in this world?

If so, then my long-standing view of religious gods would have to be overturned.

In my opinion, most of the gods in every religion are human beings with extreme minds.

Their thoughts, their moral concepts, and the knowledge and principles they convey to the world are more worthy of pursuit than the ability to move mountains and seas.

Even so, I can't deny that gods may exist.

They are a level higher than ordinary humans, creatures who have transformed from the life level of ordinary humans to a higher level.

But no matter how tall they are, they can't be taller than the creatures of the old days, but I feel a little skeptical now.......

This spiritual mountain feels very powerful to me, even if it is a dead thing, it will make me feel difficult to resist, much more powerful than all the strange creatures I have encountered.

What gods, what monsters, all of them are not as powerful as the breath of this mountain.

Following Soba, we walked silently, stepping on the sand that seemed to be made of pure gold, and the expression on our faces couldn't help but become serious.

I am convinced that this mountain has the power to change the mood of the living.

When we walked towards Lingshan step by step, I was still a little anxious, but I also calmed down inexplicably, and the feeling of not being in a hurry or impatience made my brain sober up a lot.

With each step, the grit rattles beneath our feet.

There was no other sound here, it seemed that even the sound of our breathing and heartbeat had disappeared.

Unlike in the past, this almost dead silence atmosphere does not make people feel uneasy, on the contrary, it is a pleasure to feel that it is peaceful to the extreme.

To be honest, we don't walk fast, it's basically the same as the speed at which ordinary people walk slowly.

But the strange thing is that the distance between us and Lingshan is inexplicably shortening rapidly.

According to the speed at which we walked, if we wanted to reach Lingshan dozens of miles away, it was not something that could be done in a short time, not to mention that in our group, Soba's physical fitness was still at the level of ordinary people.

Constantly walking for dozens of miles, without panting, without blushing and heartbeat, this kind of performance cannot be explained at all.

In my opinion, the distance we walked on foot was very short, I am afraid it was less than two miles, but looking ahead, the distance between Lingshan and us has been reduced to half.......

Could it be that the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas on the mountain saw that we were too tired to walk? That's why you deliberately shortened the distance between Lingshan and us?

When I think of this, I feel even more at a loss.

But it is undeniable that the closer we get to Lingshan, the more specific my view of this mountain becomes.

It's not like an ordinary holy mountain blessed land....... It's hard to describe....... If we put it in terms of pseudoscientific and unfounded explanations...... The spatial dimension in which it is located is different from the spatial dimension that we humans live in.

Let's put it this way.

When ordinary people can't see this spiritual mountain, even if they stand in the position where the spiritual mountain is, they won't have any strange feelings.

It is independent of the world.

Of course, these are not the most exaggerated things that strike me as the most.

In my opinion, the most incomprehensible thing for me is the feeling that this spiritual mountain gives me.

Anyone who sees Lingshan for the first time will probably feel that ancient and distant breath, but when they look at it again, they will feel that those breaths are gone, and Lingshan will give people a more real feeling, without the slightest ethereal taste.

After a while, when I look up at Lingshan, I will have a different feeling.

It's like seeing Lingshan for the first time, there is no sense of familiarity, and the brand new one looks like it has just grown out of the ground.

These feelings are combined...... That's right....... It seems to be true!

Although this explanation is a bit difficult to convince, I am convinced of it myself....... Lingshan is not only located in front of our eyes, it is also located in the three time and space of the past, the present and the future.

Perhaps the first spiritual mountain you saw was the spiritual mountain of a thousand years ago, and then you saw the spiritual mountain of today, and finally you will see the spiritual mountain of the future.......

I remember that there is a saying in Buddhism that there is more than one Buddha, and there are also past Buddhas, present Buddhas, and future Buddhas.

Could it be that Lingshan also has this similar statement?

Past Mountain, Present Mountain, Future Mountain?

When I thought about this, we were probably only a mile away from Lingshan, and although this kind of behemoth pestle standing up to the sky and the earth affected our vision a little on the ground, we didn't feel depressed, but felt very natural.

"There's someone up ahead!"

Suddenly, the wicked man shouted in a low voice.

This cold man spoke, and the silence was broken in an instant, and we were called back to God like thunder.

"Anyone?"

Following the direction of the wicked man's gaze, we all looked up.

As it said, there was indeed a person sitting there in front of him, and the position of that person happened to be at the foot of the Spirit Mountain.

"Old Sect People??" I frowned, couldn't help but clench my grip on the Miao knife, and prepared to meet the enemy.

The man sitting cross-legged on the ground, with his back to us, had no intention of turning back, and the breath on his body was almost non-existent, as if it were a piece of air.

Beside him, there is an ancient tree.

The ancient tree seems to be Bodhi, with lush branches and leaves, thick rhizomes, and a trunk like a dragon clinging to it, and the vines of the tree are knotted on it, revealing endless vitality.

"Bodhi Tree....... That's the linden tree! Soba's eyes widened, and he pointed to the ancient tree and said, "This is the first time I have seen such a big Bodhi tree!" It must be a holy relic on the outside! ”

"Leave it alone what is holy or not....... Who is the man under the tree? I held the Miao knife and looked at the man with his back to us with some confusion: "I can't feel his hostility, not even his breath." ”

At this moment, the sound of the bell ringing again came from the Lingshan Mountain, which was louder than what we had heard before, and it rang one after another, and I counted it very clearly, it rang ninety-nine times in a row.

"Go up and have a look." I whispered, and without waiting for Soba to say anything, I stepped forward and walked in front of the crowd.

The villain didn't keep up, it walked at the back of the team, and I had a very clear division of labor with it, one to open the way, one to the back of the palace, no matter what kind of trouble we encountered, we could react to it to some extent, so as not to let people sneak attack.

After walking forward for a while, we stopped at a distance of about fifty meters from the man.

From this distance, I could see very clearly that the man had short hair, which seemed to be curly, with his hands on his knees, as if he was meditating.

The robe he wears resembles a monk's robe, but it is more elemental than the monk's robe, and there is no ornamental pattern in sight.

At this time, the breeze blew, blowing the ancient Bodhi tree slowly swaying, and countless fallen leaves also drifted away.

But the man still didn't move, like a statue, no sound, no breath, he didn't move, he didn't move, even if we outsiders were about to walk behind him, he didn't mean to look back.

At this moment, Soba seemed to see something, his eyes suddenly widened, as if he was about to fly out of his sockets, his body trembled violently, and his upper and lower teeth kept colliding, making a crisp sound.

"What's wrong?" I looked at Soba in some surprise: "Are you cold?" ”

"No....... It can't be ......."

Soba trembled, as if he was crazy, shook his head vigorously, and said to himself, "This can't be him....... But the thangka hanging in the Guru's hall is ....... No...... That's impossible!! ”

"It's just Qiangtang....... This is not really the Pure Land of the Western Heavenly Buddha Kingdom....... It can't be him ......."

Before we could react, Soba rushed forward with a single arrow step, so fast that it was almost to the limit of human beings, and even I was stunned.

I don't know what he's going to do, but in this situation of not knowing the details of the other party, I rushed forward...... What is the difference between this behavior and seeking death?

But I don't think Soba is such a brainless person, and since he ran up, he must have his reasons.......

"Soba! Be careful!! ”

By the time I was about to catch up to see what was going on, Soba had already run up to the man, looked at him with wide eyes, and then fell to his knees trembling, his voice trembling.

"Interpretation...... Shakyamuni Buddha?!! ”
