Chapter 386: The Remains of the Immortal Buddha (Part II)
Whether Emperor Yu Zhenwu and Zhenyuan Daxian really existed. The cultivation world is conclusive one by one. Because these two famous gods and immortals have not been recorded since ancient times. In the remnants of ancient books before the Warring States period in the cultivation world. There are no written records related to Emperor Zhenwu and Zhenyuan Daxian. It wasn't until the Han Dynasty Gu Immortal Ling Xiaozi Huang Zhen that he first mentioned Emperor Zhenwu and Zhenyuan Daxian in his Gu Immortal Chronicles, and briefly described the Shinto methods of these two. Afterwards. There are also more and more records related to Zhenwu Emperor Zhenyuan Daxian. Its image is also becoming more and more prominent. Emperor Zhenwu is due to his boundless ways and various fabricated stories of demon swindling. It gradually spread to the world. Eventually, he became a god of faith in the world. And Zhenyuan Daxian is also because of its free manner. And it is highly respected by those who cultivate immortals. It was gradually revered as the ancestor of the earth immortals.
Although Xu Changqing has already been one of the netherworlds. Cheng dù, who was taken aback, was numb. But he was still amazed by the identities of these two bodies. It is inferred from the time of the catastrophe in Hades. These dried corpses and skeletons were all preserved in the previous period before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Therefore, these two dried corpses are likely to be the main bodies of the Zhenwu Emperor and the Zhenyuan Great Immortal.
Xu Changqing had also encountered many legendary gods before. It's just that those are just Western gods. There is hardly anything to do with him himself. Naturally, there is no sense of awe. But the two in front of me are completely different. There are many Dao methods in the Nine Streams Avenue that rely on the names of these two. In a sense. These two are also considered to be one of the gods he believes in, so the feeling he feels when he sees these two is naturally completely different from the feeling of going to the Western gods.
After calming down, Xu Changqing didn't try to apply the Ten Thousand Ghost Attraction Spirit Seal to the two dried corpses. Instead, he took two steps back and took out three of the best spiritual incense sticks in the Qiankun world. Ignited with the true fire of the sun in the original god. The sacrifice was hung in front of the two dried corpses. It is then worshipped with Taoist rituals. He didn't do it just to worship the two ancient gods he believed in. It is also the kind of Tao that he has been practicing in his heart.
Just after Xu Changqing's salute ended. The three spiritual incense sticks of the hanging sacrifice were also completely burned out in the true fire of the sun. Turned into two puffs of green smoke and burrowed into the appearance of the Dharma Body on the top of the heads of the two dried corpses. Then something strange happened. After the two Dharma bodies came into contact with the green smoke. It melted into mist like water in a fire. Following the trajectory of the green smoke, it sank into the true fire of the sun that introduced the incense, and directly into Xu Changqing's primordial spirit. Merge with his primordial spirit. Xu Changqing's Yuan Shen also changed. The giant tortoise under his feet became two. A strange snake is also entwined around the body. In his right hand, he held a True Martial Demon Sword. Holding a scroll of turtle slips in his left hand, the five qi Chaoyuan golden wheel and the three flowers on his head are also one. Transform into a dazzling eight-treasure glazed ginseng fruit tree.
At the same time as the Yuan Shen changed, Xu Changqing's original heart and Dao heart fused a few points. The immortal qi that can be mastered has also increased by a few points. After the foreign minister was integrated into Xu Changqing's Yuanshen. Although the amount contained in the two corpses was not at all, weak. But the peculiar aura of power is gone. As a result, Daoqing's admiration for the bones of the two Xia gods also weakened, and it became similar to other skeletons. Nevertheless. But instead of continuing to apply the Ten Thousand Ghost Guiding Spirit Seal to the two corpses, he turned around and walked up to the seventeenth floor.
Xu Changqing is not very interested in the seventeenth floor. In addition to looking forward to what kind of Chinese gods and goddesses he will encounter, he is also looking forward to the two mirrors of heaven and earth that are stored there.
However. When he went up to the seventeenth floor. What I felt was not a stronger fairy aura. It's an incomparably pure Buddha. These Buddha powers condensed into countless golden lotus phantoms and enlightenment fragrances. Fill the entire palace floor. Even with his steady Dao heart. When exposed to such a strong Buddha power. There is also a sense of enlightenment in a previous life that transcends cause and effect.
"Buddha Realm Spirit Mountain?" such a strong force Changqing has felt once. Back then, Xuangangtian helped his son achieve the Arhat Dao Fruit. When you ascend to the Buddha Kingdom of Bliss. The Buddha power emanating from the Buddha Kingdom was very similar to the Buddha power he felt at the moment. It's just that the Buddha power here is more condensed.
There were no dried corpses in this level of the palace, only five golden skeletons and one intact body. Five of the skeletons were several feet tall. The light enclosure that surrounds the center of the palace. The power of the entire palace comes from them—a lotus platform carried by different beasts under a skull seat. From the shape of these bones, it can be vaguely seen that they are lions, elephants, horses, birds, and human-body bird-winged monsters. Moreover, each skeleton holds a variety of spiritual weapons in its hands. From the memories of the Golden Body Buddha before and Xu Changqing's own understanding of Buddhist classics. Very lightly, he recognized the five corpses in front of him, and the bones were clearly the ancient Buddhas of Buddhism.
The Buddha of the Ancient Five Directions is not only one of the many Buddhas in Buddhism. It is also the foundation of the entire Buddhism and the Buddha world, and they represent the five root forces of the Buddha. Self-nature, tranquility, dharma, immutability, peace, comfort, gain, wishes, and attainments. These five root forces are the fundamental forces of the three thousand worlds of Buddhism. It is also the foundation of Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism.
"No wonder Buddhism is spread in India. And it is divided into Mahayana and Hinayana and Hinayana. You have to merge practices and ideas from other places to survive. It turned out that it was because the Five Directions Buddha, which represented the foundation of Buddhism, had fallen in the underworld!" Xu Changqing thought to himself. While focusing on the body surrounded by the Buddha of the Five Directions, he looked at the body in the middle. I saw that this body was a female Dharma figure wearing a heavenly veil and a hand knot seal, with a sad and sad face. It exudes a very strong power of reincarnation in her. After this reincarnation power fused with the Buddha power in the palace, it just formed the strange power contained in the immortal qi of the underworld.
"Jizo King Bodhisattva?" When it came to the hand knot seal of this female figure and the unique power on her body, Xu Changqing quickly understood her identity. Like many Western myths, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats in the Buddha realm are not eternal. For example, there are more than a dozen famous Guanyin Bodhisattvas. They are divided into three Dharmakayas: the past, the present, and the future. The same goes for King Jizo Bodhisattva. The person who is now worshiped by the Tibetan Bodhisattva in China is the Taoist monk Kim Qiaojue who came to China to seek the Dharma. In fact, the first generation of Jizo King Bodhisattva was actually before the emergence of Buddhism. Ancient Indian Brahmin female bare eyes. That is, the owner of the physical body in front of Xu Changqing.
This one--the temple is very large. But it's very empty. Everything at a glance. But what made Xu Changqing feel strange was that he searched the entire palace. But he didn't find the two mirrors of heaven and earth that he felt from the human mirror before. Just as he was about to take out the human mirror from the chaos. When the connection of the three mirrors is used to determine the position of the other two mirrors. The physical body of King Jizo Bodhisattva suddenly opened his eyes. And shot out a golden light.
