Chapter 3 The Pavilion of the Scriptures and the Power of Merit
What is this place?
Shi Lei looked around and found that there was nothing except for these two attics, only golden clouds and blue brick floors under his feet.
He tried to walk into the mist, but he didn't take a few steps before he was back in front of the two attics.
What a strange place.
He was a little confused.
But in the dark, he had a feeling that this place belonged to him alone!
Take things as they come.
As a monk, when you see the Hidden Scripture Pavilion and the Hidden Treasure Pavilion, how can you not go in and have a look?
Looking left and right, he found that the door of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion was open, but the door of the Hidden Treasure Pavilion was closed.
After a moment's thought, he walked to the right.
Over there is the Treasure Pavilion.
When he came to the door of the Treasure Pavilion, he raised his hand and pushed it.
But a soft but powerful force flicked his hand back, and with that, a line of golden words appeared in the air on the door of the Treasure Pavilion.
"Only when you cultivate to reach the Arhat realm can you enter."
Luohan Realm?
The transcendent realm above the legendary first-class grandmaster?
Shi Lei's eyes widened suddenly.
He was promoted to the rank of a first-grade grand master at the age of fifty-two, but in the following fifty-three years, he was stuck in the realm of a first-grade grand master and could not advance an inch.
He could glimpse the shackles, but he couldn't even touch them.
Originally, he thought that the Arhat Realm was just a false lie made up by the ancestors of the past dynasties, in order to let the disciples guard against arrogance and rashness, and understand the truth that there is a heaven outside the sky and there are people outside the world, in fact, the Arhat Realm does not exist.
However, now he actually encountered a treasure pavilion that only the Arhat Realm could enter!
Looking at the splendid and magnificent Treasure Pavilion, Shi Lei was curious.
He really wanted to know what kind of treasures were hidden in this treasure pavilion, and he actually had to enter the legendary Arhat Realm.
But with all his might, he couldn't push the door open.
Finally, he gave up his attempt and turned around and walked towards the Scripture Pavilion.
A door that can't be pushed open, and it is rude to force your way in.
The Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is still very friendly, and the door is open, as if he is throwing a handkerchief at him: Master, come and play!
Walking into the Scripture Pavilion, Shi Lei was immediately shocked by the scale of the interior.
At first, there is a blank screen, and after passing the screen, there are rows of bookshelves.
Just by a glance, he roughly estimated that there were at least a hundred bookshelves on this floor.
And every bookshelf is filled with dense books, bamboo slips, and leather scrolls.
He took one from his hand, and there were a few large characters written on the cover.
【Tian Jia Quick Knife】
It's actually a martial arts cheats?
After a little recollection, he remembered that this was the family heirloom knife technique of a second-rate knife family on the rivers and lakes, and it had always been passed down in a single line, but he didn't expect to see the cheats here.
He wanted to open it, but a line of golden text appeared on the book: Please pay a hundred taels of silver.
Actually asking for money?
He raised an eyebrow, a little surprised.
He even destroyed his clothes under that thunderbolt, how could there be silver on him?
Shaking his head, he put the cheats back on the bookshelf and pulled out a new one.
【Crane Snake Hachido】
This is the unique boxing technique of the crane in the clouds, one of the four villains in the world, during the Great Song Dynasty.
But the boxing method is not what the crane in the cloud is good at, the kung fu of the crane in the cloud is all in light skills, and this set of [Crane and Snake Eight Fights] can only be regarded as second-rate.
Shi Lei tried to open it, but found that this secret book also cost a hundred taels of silver to read.
Putting it back on the bookshelf, Shi Lei looked at it in turn, but found that the bookshelves on this floor were full of martial arts cheats.
It's just that most of the martial arts cheats at this level are second-rate and third-rate martial arts, not to mention asking for money, even if you don't want money, he can't look down on it.
Looking at the staircase, he stepped up to the second floor.
There are also bookshelves on this floor, but the number is much smaller, only a few dozen.
However, after browsing, Shi Lei found that although there were few bookshelves on this floor, they were all first-class martial arts in the rivers and lakes.
[True Swordsmanship], [Spirit Snake Fist], [Phantom Yin Finger], [Seven Wounds Fist], [Eagle Claw Grabler], ......
This layer of martial arts cheats, if you want to see it, you have to pay one hundred taels of gold.
After browsing, Shi Lei continued to climb the stairs and came to the third floor.
There are even fewer bookshelves on the third floor, with only ten.
However, when he pulled out a random copy, he was instantly stunned.
I saw that there were four big characters written on the cover of this three-inch-thick book.
【Jiuyang Divine Skill】
This is actually the [Jiuyang Divine Skill] that has been lost?!
Shi Lei was very excited.
The basic internal skill of his cultivation is [Tongzi Gong], and he has been practicing for a full hundred years.
[Tong Zi Gong] can only be regarded as a first-class internal skill, but the strongest internal strength of Buddhism [Jiuyang Divine Skill] has been lost, and he has no way to learn it, so he can only cultivate [Tong Zi Gong] to the extreme.
He had sighed more than once that if he could practice the [Jiuyang Divine Skill], maybe he could really break the shackles and break through the Arhat realm.
Now, this top-level internal skill book is in front of him, how can he not be excited?
He couldn't wait to lift the pages of the book, wanting to get a glimpse of the contents of the cheats.
No matter how much money this cheatbook costs, he is willing to pay for it!
However, when his finger touched the cheats, a line of text appeared on it.
"Please pay a share of the power of merit."
The power of merit?
Seeing this line of text, Shi Lei couldn't help but be stunned.
The power of merit is said to be the source of the power of the gods and Buddhas, how can he be a mortal with the power of merit?
Suddenly, his eyebrows were hot, as if he had been burned.
He looked inward, only to find that there was a golden light the size of a mung bean at the center of his eyebrows, which was shining with a rich golden light.
The moment he saw the golden light cluster, he understood that this was the power of merit!
Looking at it, Shi Lei thought that this power of merit flew out of the body of the [Ghost Bride].
Could it be that if you kill demons and evil spirits, you will gain the power of merit?
Trying to touch the power of merit with his mind, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the power of merit could actually be urged by him.
Soon, the power of merit was pushed out of his eyebrows.
The power of guiding merit fell on the cheats, and when I saw a flash of golden light, the cheats disappeared.
Then, Shi Lei felt a huge amount of information pouring into his mind, making him a little dizzy.
When he combed through these memories, he realized that this was actually a complete [Jiuyang Divine Skill]!
He actually learned the [Jiuyang Divine Skill] in an instant!
He tried to transport his true qi and carry the Great Zhou Tian.
True Qi only circulated for a week, and he felt that there was purple smoke in the dantian, and his body was like soaking in hot water, warm and comfortable.
Zila!
The true air in the meridians swirled, as if it also brought a layer of purple halo, breaking through a lot of electric shackles in one fell swoop.
His cultivation recovered a lot in an instant, and he returned to the fourth-rank high level.
Clenched his fists, feeling the obvious improvement in power, Shi Lei sighed.
Is this [Jiuyang Divine Skill]?
It's amazing!
No wonder [Jiuyang Divine Skill] is known as the strongest internal skill of Buddhism, and in terms of healing, it really has a miraculous effect!
It's just that although he has learned the [Jiuyang Divine Skill], he has only cultivated to the first level, and if he wants to exert his full power, he still needs to work hard to cultivate and study.
Not busy practicing, he looked curiously at the other cheats on the shelf.
The more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.
[Yijin Sutra], [Washing the Pulp Sutra], [King Kong is not bad divine skill], [Nine Yin True Sutra], [Shenzhao Sutra], [Taixuan Sutra], [Dugu Nine Swords], [Qiankun Great Shift], ......
Among these secret books, there are those he has practiced, some he has heard, and some he has not heard, but they are all placed on the same floor, and they are obviously all top-level martial arts exercises!
It's a pity that these cheats also need the power of merit to open, and he no longer has the power of merit in his hands.
Looking back at the stairs leading to the upstairs behind him, Shi Lei had a strong curiosity in his heart.
This is only the third floor, and there are already so many top-level martial arts exercises hidden, and what kind of exercises will be hidden in the upper floors?
You know, there are twelve floors in this scripture pavilion!
