Chapter Eighty-Six: The Risk of Trials

As soon as Elder Lifa said this, it caused a lot of discussions.

He pressed his hands down, and said: "Quiet, the selection of the fighting method competition is from the eighty qualified people in the first stage, according to the two-by-two competition, to determine the winner, a total of three rounds, each round of drawing lots to determine the opponent, after three rounds, the last ten disciples will go to Junzhou as the representatives of the disciples of Nanzong Temple to participate in the Dao Conference!"

Although all the disciples in the audience were whispering and greeting each other with their eyes, it was much smaller than the movement of the first stage of selection just now, and it seemed that the rules of the second stage had been expected by everyone in their hearts.

Elder Lifa was very satisfied that everyone had no objections this time, nodded and said, "The rules of the second stage are simple and straightforward, but they will not be easy. Every disciple was selected from the life and death experience in the secret realm, and every one of them was a top-notch cultivation genius in the entire cultivation world of the Great Martial Kingdom, and his strength should not be underestimated. Therefore, the temple will send elders to sit in the ring during the competition to prevent the risk of life. ”

Elder Lifa's face finally turned grim: "Now, I announce that the list of participants in the Stele Forest Secret Realm will be announced in five days, and it will be officially opened in ten days, and one month after the end of the secret realm selection, the selection of the Fighting Law Competition will begin!"

Later, the abbot master stepped forward again and said something, but everyone had no intention of listening anymore.

Master Abbot also knew that the disciples were in turmoil now, both excited and nervous, so with a wave of his hand, all of them left in an orderly manner.

Yifeng and the others also followed Master Ran back to the Ran Courtyard.

Master Ran didn't immediately ask everyone to rest or cultivate, but gathered everyone in the council hall of the Ran Academy, as if there was something to explain.

Elder Ran was sitting precariously, and there were five disciples standing below, he glanced at it, and said first: "I don't know what else you think about the selection of this Junzhou Dao Conference?"

The fire monkey rolled his eyes and said, "Master Ran, is this Stele Forest Secret Realm really so dangerous? How did it open up? Let me say it first, I'm not afraid, I'm taking precautions and understanding clearly." ”

Master Ran smiled and said, "It's okay, I originally wanted to explain more to you. Do you know what the highest state of Buddhism is before you become a Buddha again?"

Xiu Gu hurriedly said: "Master, master, I know, Yifeng told us, it is the realm of the Buddha realm, its own realm, and its power is infinite!"

Master Zhiran nodded and smiled: "Aunt Xiu is right, it is the realm of the Buddha Domain. This Buddha realm is the unique realm of Buddhist practitioners, the comprehension of Buddhism has reached the highest realm, the power of faith has reached the strongest, self-formed heaven and earth, self-built laws, if someone enters this realm, they will be controlled by those who exert the realm, and the power is endless.

"However, the laws in the Buddha domain cannot deviate from the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, because the Buddha Domain itself is the product of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and it is cultivated by absorbing and using the aura of heaven and earth. ”

Xiu Gu smiled and raised her hand and said, "I know, just like the temple rules of Nanzong Temple, you can't violate the laws of the Great Martial Kingdom, it's the same!"

Master Ran's eyes were warm, and he looked at her with a smile and said, "Aunt Xiu is very smart, that's the truth." ”

When Ichifeng heard this, he realized.

The fire monkey asked suspiciously, "Master, you have been talking for a long time, what does this have to do with the secret realm?"

Shuli's eyes flashed: "The secret realm of the stele forest is a Buddha domain!"

Master Shuran glanced at Shuli and said, "Shuli is right, but it is incomplete. ”

"The Forest of Steles Secret Realm is a Buddha domain, but it is not only a Buddha domain, it is composed of multiple Buddha domains. The secret realm is opened up by several monks who are almost about to ascend to Buddhahood in the past thousand years, and then establish a variety of laws of the Buddha realm, the purpose of which is to establish a place of experience for Nanzong Temple.

"The eyes of the predecessors are like torches, and they clearly see that the future cultivation situation of Nanzong Temple will definitely be neglected by experience, and they will only blindly study the secret books of the magic powers. However, the cultivation of the Buddha and the Tao always comes from suffering, for example, the cultivation of the Buddha and the Tao of the Three Tribulations, all of which have to go through hardships and obstacles in order to achieve their wishes. Without practice, it is difficult to talk about the Dharma, of course, it is difficult to make progress and improvement. ”

Yifeng asked, "Are those Buddha Dao powers still alive today, can the Buddha Domain exist for so long?"

Master Zhiran sighed and said: "These Buddha-like powers who have contributed all their own Buddhas are no longer in Nanzong Temple, they are immortal beings, where they are now, it is unknown, maybe they have established immeasurable merits, and it is unknown whether they have ascended to Buddhahood." ”

His tone changed, and he continued: "Regarding the time of existence, it stands to reason that the Buddha Domain is exerted by the cultivator and withdrawn by himself. The level of cultivation of a cultivator determines the length of time for the release of the Buddha Domain.

"However, the purpose of the secret realm of Nanzong Temple from the beginning was to let it exist for a long time, so those predecessors of Nanzong Temple have studied and created special exercises and laws from the beginning, and integrated into this huge Buddha domain, as long as regular maintenance is carried out in the future, it can exist for a long time. Although it is sealed in the Stele Forest Peak, the interior is very vast, stretching for hundreds of miles. ”

Yifeng and the others were amazed after hearing this, the predecessors of Nanzong Temple are worthy of being the top existence in the cultivation world, and the magic power of the exercises is so magical and profound, and they are so far-sighted and willing to dedicate, they are really a model for the younger generations and a model for learning.

Master Ran said: "It is precisely because the secret realm of the Forest of Steles is a Buddha domain that the established laws can be adjusted to a certain extent. This selection was placed in the secret realm of the Forest of Steles, and the temple has already marked the important positions in the five places such as the secret realm soul devouring land according to the degree of danger, and the mark style is different colors of light.

"Ordinary paths are unmarked, only important danger areas, and once the cultivators enter, a light will flash around them.

"You remember, the cyan ones are normal areas, which means that they can be explored carefully, and the level of danger is not high, the orange ones are dangerous areas, and there is a considerable degree of risk to enter this area, and the red ones are extremely dangerous areas, and there is a danger of death if you enter.

"And this time, the pagoda in the central area of the secret realm will bloom with golden light every two hours as a guide to the goal. ”

Yifeng secretly thought, it turned out that what Elder Fa said just now was that the temple had made sufficient preparations, that is, the dangerous area was marked as a warning.

The fire monkey scratched his head and said, "In this way, wouldn't it be better to just follow the unmarked ordinary path and go in the direction of the central pagoda of the secret realm?" ”

Master Ran shook his head and said: "It's not that simple, it can be said that there is no direct ordinary path that can lead to the center of the secret realm, all the blue, orange and red danger areas, staggered in the five large areas such as the thunder tribulation land of the secret realm, the path is zigzag, and there is no law to follow, if you want to get to the center of the secret realm, it is impossible to escape through the dangerous area." ”

Shuli pondered for a while and asked, "Then how do you know that the top 80 have arrived, and you have no chance of being selected?"

Master Ran said: "There is an elder in the pagoda in the center of the secret realm who is specially guarded, and when he reaches the age of eighty, he will continue to emit golden light to warn all the participating disciples. ”

Shuli asked, "Then how do the rest of the people get out of the secret realm?"

Master Zhiran said: "This selection has caused the refining hall in the temple to refine a batch of specific Buddha cards, and each person will be given one piece when entering for positioning purposes. This amulet is very special, the amulet has refined a small teleportation circle for only one person, the elders who maintain the secret realm of the stele forest, and the elders who are responsible for scheduling this selection, can know their location, and the circle will be activated immediately after the selection is over, and the disciples will be teleported to the entrance of the secret realm. ”

Monk Honjo was worried: "Can't you stop the selection halfway?"

Master Ran said, "No. ”

Monk Benchang was still a little worried: "What if Yifeng loses their Buddhist card?

Master Ran replied lightly: "If the amulet is separated from me after the selection is over, or those disciples who still want to stay in the secret realm to continue their trials, the stupa in the secret realm center will still emit golden light once a day, guiding them to the secret realm center, and the full-time elders will help them teleport out of the secret realm.

"However, after the selection is over, all hazard warning signs will disappear. This means that they must make their own way through the dangerous area of unknown dangers in order to return to the stupa in the center of the uncharted realm.

"No one can guarantee what will happen during this period, and this is also one of the risks of this selection trial, so during the trial, you must protect your amulet.

"Similarly, the secret realm is too big, if you want to search for a person, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and it is dangerous, unless you come out by yourself, after the trial, except for the guidance golden light of the secret realm center, the temple will not be able to consume too much manpower to search for them. ”

Monk Benchang said worriedly: "That means that after the Buddha card is lost, the only hope is to come out by yourself?"

Master Ran nodded, his eyes scanning Yifeng and them.

Of course, Master Ran knew what these risks meant, and if they couldn't get back smoothly, or if the amulet card was lost, all of them would be in danger of losing their lives in the secret realm.

But looking at Yifeng, they looked calm and didn't care.

Seeing this, Master Ran smiled, nodded and said, "These are the rules that need to be supplemented for the selection of the secret realm of this Junzhou Dao Conference, and all the peaks of each academy will also convey them to the disciples, do you still have any doubts?"

Yifeng and the others shook their heads, and Master Ran waved his hand and asked them to cultivate on their own.

They immediately turned their backs, laughed and quarreled, and several senior brothers and sisters discussed enthusiastically with an inexplicable excitement that the usual monk could not understand, and left the hall with chatter and excitement.
