Chapter 31: Red Lotus Karma
Killing Temple, Jizen Palace.
Located on the side of the Blood River Valley and the Fire Cloud Ridge.
Backed by the five-color mountain, facing the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.
It is far away from the five major Zen temples of Sesshoji Temple.
It's very quiet here, and there are only three monks who practice here.
Follow the lonely Zen master step by step.
It didn't take long to come here.
The palace is not big.
But it's better to be quiet and peaceful.
The outside is full of flowers and trees
There are formations all around.
It's very secretive.
In the main hall.
The obscure Zen master had his back to the door.
Knock on the wooden fish in your hand.
Hearing the footsteps of the two, he could not stop.
He stood up and lit an incense stick.
A white gas turned into silk and slowly rose.
The obscure Zen master inserted the Buddha incense back into the incense burner before slowly turning around.
It's still the same old face.
The face is full of wrinkles.
There is only a pair of eyes, and it seems to have a different look.
He glanced at the two of them, and said very calmly: "You are here." ”
"Meet my uncle."
"Meet Uncle Shizu."
The two of them saluted separately.
"No need to be polite."
The obscure Zen master fixed his gaze on Lichen's face, as if he could see through every inch of Lichen's body.
"Good boy."
"When you made a big fuss about the Three Treasures Monastery, Lao Qu had already seen it."
The obscure Zen master nodded, undoubtedly seeing some doorways.
""One Hundred and Eight Troubles Worship" is the true biography of the Buddha, and it is difficult to see its true meaning if it is not fateful."
"If you can be favored by this, you should be a person with a Buddhist association."
"It's related to my Buddha."
Lichen didn't know how to respond: "Uncle Shi has won the award, and the disciple is just a coincidence." ”
The obscure Zen master hummed lightly: "If you can stick to your heart and treat it as normal, you have already won the samadhi of Buddhism." ”
"Calling you here this time is related to the secret realm of the Blood Sea that is about to be opened."
After saying that, he held his left hand in a false position.
A treasure gourd suddenly appeared in his hand.
This gourd is dark all over, and the surface is glowing with precious light.
At first glance, it is extraordinary.
Lichen saw that this gourd was very familiar.
It took a long time to react, and this gourd seemed to be the same as the red lacquer gourd of the uncle of the Obscure Master.
"This gourd is a magic weapon that is rare in the world."
"The red gourd with Senior Brother Obscure Ming all comes from a blood vine in the secret realm of the Blood Sea."
At this time, the lonely master suddenly realized: "I said that it is so familiar." ”
"It turned out to be like Uncle Ming's red lacquer gourd."
The obscure Zen master continued, "As the name suggests, the Sea of Blood Secret Realm is an ocean made of blood. ”
"There's a blood HLD in this ocean."
"There's a blood vine growing on the island."
"This blood vine has been rooted in the sea of blood for hundreds of millions of years, with lush branches and leaves, covering the sky and the sun, and it has long been spiritual."
"It's also full of gourds."
"There are singularities in each of them."
"When the Blood Sea Secret Realm opened, the three of us encountered that blood vine at the same time."
"I saw that the vine was full of gourds."
"So we were filled with joy and took one of them."
"When I tried to pick the second one, I realized that I couldn't continue to pick it anyway."
"Only then did we know that these gourds had their own spirituality, and each person could only receive one."
"And these gourds have their own gods, and each one is different."
"Like the red lacquer gourd of the elder brother of the obscure Ming, it can collect all the flames in the world."
"It is the nemesis of all fire cultivation in the world."
"The one in my hand is not afraid of any miasma and misty, but in comparison, it is three points weaker."
"My senior brother's obscure gourd can collect the water of the spiritual spring, and it is inexhaustible."
"In short, the three gourds, each different, all have magic."
The lonely Zen master smashed his mouth: "Uncle Shi's chance, it's really good to be envied." ”
Obscurity shook his head: "Alas, it's a pity that the three of us can no longer pick the gourd from that blood vine. ”
Listening to this, it means that each person can only pick one gourd.
Once removed, it cannot be changed.
Hearing the loss in the tone of the obscure Zen master, Lichen couldn't help asking, "Isn't there anything in those gourds that the master and uncle need?" ”
The obscure Zen master couldn't help but fold his hands: "Amitabha." ”
"You're right, but it's not what I need."
"It's what the Temple of Killing needs."
"Killing Temple?"
The lonely Zen master was a little puzzled.
The obscure Zen master pointed to the Blood River Valley outside the window and asked, "Do you know where the blood of this Blood River Valley has flowed?" ”
"Killing Temple Blood Pool."
The obscure Zen master nodded: "That's right. ”
"It's flowing to the Forbidden Land Blood Pool."
"But do you know what's in the pool of blood?"
The Lonely Temple shook his head: "Please also ask Uncle Shi to elaborate." ”
The obscure Zen master smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I didn't want you to know about this secret. ”
"The forbidden land of the blood pool of the Killing Temple is actually full of lotus flowers that are waiting to be released."
"Legend has it that these buds were transformed by the Blood Lotus, the companion of the Styx Ancestor."
"The reason why the monk chose to open a sect in the remote southern Xinjiang back then was because he discovered this forbidden place of blood pool."
"Who knew that the Killing Temple had been guarded for thousands of years, and the buds still hadn't bloomed."
"Not only that, but these buds consume a lot of blood."
"So for so many years, the disciples of the Killing Temple would go to the Killing Forest outside the temple to hunt blood and pour it into the Blood River Valley."
"In order to maintain the growth of these lotus flowers."
Lichen's face was full of shock: it turned out that the entire Killing Temple poured blood into the Blood River Valley every day, and it turned out to be for a lotus plant.
"Could it be that this lotus flower is really transformed by the Styx Ancestor's companion blood lotus?"
Elder Obscure continued noncommittally, "Until a hundred years ago, I entered the Void Building and met the Void Prince. ”
The Void Building has always been a very mysterious existence in the cultivation realm.
There is no fixed place.
No matter how permanent it is.
It may appear in any corner of the world, waiting for someone destined to enter.
"The Void Boy is a strange man.
Knows a secret art that knows all things. ”
"So I offered the treasure and inquired, and finally found out the truth."
"The reason why those blood lotus buds don't bloom is because these lotus seeds are missing a key thing."
The lonely Zen master and Lichen glanced at each other.
In unison, they asked, "What is it?" ”
The obscure Zen master muttered, "Red Lotus karmic fire. ”
"Flames?"
"That's right."
"The blood lotus must be in the burning red lotus karmic fire before it can bloom and bear lotus seeds."
The red lotus karmic fire is the hell karmic fire, the fire of the cold, and the fire of the yin.
The cathode gives rise to the fire phase.
The blood lotus and the karmic fire are born together, which is really a bit weird.
"Could it be...... That red lotus karmic fire is in a certain gourd? ”
Lichen said suddenly.
The obscure Zen master nodded: "Not bad." ”
Among the thousands of gourds.
There is indeed a gourd that can release red lotus karmic fire.
But the three Zen masters have already picked the gourd.
So never again be able to pluck any gourds from that blood vine.
"I summoned you here this time to find the gourd that contains the red lotus karmic fire."
Lichen was confused: "But...... I can't tell which gourd has the red lotus karmic fire. ”
