There are a lot of people from Wudang, after all

One of the "Seven Sects", although the ranking is not very high, but the background is there! At this moment, when they saw a teenager walking straight towards them, they couldn't help but look at each other, a little puzzled, they didn't seem to have such a person in their impression?

At this moment, Mo Xiaoxiao, who was wearing a plain white robe, suddenly widened his eyes, and excitedly pulled a young man in an indigo robe beside him, and said, "Senior brother, look who that is!" The young man was naturally Feng Yichen, he fixed his eyes, and the memories of the past came to mind, so he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and said as he walked: "Little brother Lin Yan, I haven't seen you for a long time!" Mo Xiaoxiao also followed closely, patted Lin Yan's shoulder, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for so long, and you have grown into an adult!" Lin Yan was also very happy to reunite with them again, and said, "Brother Feng, Sister Xiaoxiao, long time no see!" I didn't expect you to be Wudang disciples. Feng Yichen was also a little embarrassed at this time, although it was normal to walk the rivers and lakes without revealing his heels, but when the old acquaintance met again and pointed it out in person, he was still a little embarrassed, so he could only respond: "Ah, yes, Xiaoxiao and I are both from Wudang." I didn't explain my origin to you at the time, so don't mind! Lin Yan waved his hand and said, "Hey, Brother Feng, what did you say, when you go out, this is the way to go, you are too worried!" At this time, Mo Xiaoxiao said with some uncertainty: "Are you a disciple of the academy?" The girls were more careful, she keenly noticed the direction Lin Yan came from, but she didn't really see Lin Yan coming out of the academy team, so she asked this question.

Feng Yichen also looked at Lin Yan in surprise at this time, the name of the academy was like thunder, but he didn't expect Lin Yan to be a student there.

But looking at his appearance at that time, it didn't look like it, the Confucian disciples had a kind of scholarly anger, but Lin Yan didn't have it at that time.

Of course, there is another point, that is, Lin Yan traveled alone at that time, and the exercises and methods could not be seen to be from the Great Sect.

However, if he deliberately hides it, it makes sense, and in this case, he is not the only one who hides his heels, Feng Yichen's heart instantly balanced.

That's right, when I wanted to deal with that god-chattering An Daoquan, they were not opponents together, but Lin Yan had been in the hands of the former for a long time, and it didn't look like something that a casual cultivator at such a young age could do.

However, Lin Yan's next sentence negated his thoughts: "I was admitted to the academy later, and I was not a disciple of the academy at that time!" ”

"Huh?" Feng Yichen was very surprised, they were going with some tasks at that time, but they accidentally discovered Lin Yan, a little outlier.

Given his outstanding performance, it is natural to think that his identity is not simple. But now that he has been denied by Lin Yan, it seems that his strength and talent can be reassessed!

Lin Yan asked Xiang Feng Yichen and said:

"Brother Feng, are you here to compete?" Feng Yichen's thoughts were pulled back by Lin Yan and said:

"Oh, we're here to watch the game this time, and naturally there are other senior brothers in the game. I'm ashamed to say that I just broke through to the Tongmai Realm a few months ago, and I'm consolidating it, so this bit of strength is not as ugly as the arena of the martial arts competitions of the various sects. ”

"By the way, I haven't congratulated you on being admitted to the academy, and your future will be bright in the future!" He didn't ask what Lin Yan was doing, thinking that he was arranged to watch the battle and study.

After all, in terms of the real realm, Lin Yan was still slightly inferior to him before, and he couldn't imagine that Lin Yan would grow up so fast, not only in front of him, but also far beyond him.

Since the other party doesn't ask, Lin Yan won't rush to show off, this kind of thing is better to keep a low profile.

After a few words of greeting, Lin Yan didn't want to stay in the team of other sects for too long, so he left, but made an appointment to get together again.

After returning to the academy team, Mingya stepped forward and asked:

"Xiao Yanzi, do you know?" Lin Yan smiled and said:

"Remember what I told you about my previous travels? They were the ones I met at the 'Huangquan Inn', but I didn't know they were Wudang disciples at the time. Mingya realized this, she naturally heard Lin Yan talk about this matter, and it turned out to be an old acquaintance.

At this moment, the bell on the Lingshan Mountain came, and the sound was loud and long, reaching the ears of those present.

At the same time, the envoy reappeared, guiding people of various sects to pay homage to Lingshan. Although Lin Yan doesn't have any religious beliefs, he doesn't believe in any Buddha, because he thinks

"Don't cultivate this life and cultivate the next life" is an escapist idea, quite negative! He only believes in his own strength, he is strong, and he is invincible in the world, this is the ultimate dream!

If you blindly escape, isn't this a denial of the present world and the meaning of your own life? What kind of cultivation do you have to cultivate like this?

However, it's still okay to go up the mountain for a long time, and it just so happens that he also wants to see what the legendary Buddhist holy land is like!

In fact, the people of the various sects didn't really want to visit or anything, and more people still had the same idea as Lin Yan.

There were so many people who came to participate that they couldn't be put up at once. Therefore, the envoys took each sect to worship in turn, and the order was naturally the same

"Three Religions, Seven Sects and Twelve Sects" are preferred, after all, the status of the rivers and lakes is here! In addition, there are many small and medium-sized sects, so they can only be aggrieved and go back to the back, but these people have no complaints.

If you can't, you don't dare! Xuantian Sect, Academy, Wudang Mountain and other sects went up the mountain in turn, and each team was separated by a certain distance so that there would be no conflict between each other.

Lin Yan followed the team all the way, and as far as the eye could see, there were all splendid temples, large and small, all of them, and I don't know how many they were.

The path was paved with neat marble and covered with golden blankets, neat and gorgeous.

They didn't go into the temples along the way, and went straight to the top of the spiritual mountain. But from the door, you can also see the monks in the temple chanting scriptures, very religious.

In addition, there are also a large number of stupas, and the small ones are carved with the treasures of the Buddha and many Venerable Beings for believers to worship; It is said that the relics of the great monks are also enshrined in the large pagoda, and at night they shimmer with golden light, and are cited as miracles.

The group of people in the academy were actually not far from the Xuantian Sect, and they could see what they were doing. To say that this Xuantian Sect is worthy of being a Daoist bull's ear, and he is also an existence with eyes above the top along the way.

For these Buddha statues, needless to say, worship them, and even take a second look. They went up the mountain just to give face to the Buddha, to show an attitude on behalf of the Daomen, and to do superficial work!

Besides, the disagreement between the three sects is about to be put on the surface, and the relationship between them and this group of monks is not very good, and at the moment they are just thinking about completing this transition as soon as possible, so that they can go back to their residence to rest and rest.

The same is true of the academy, the scholars do not believe in ghosts and gods, and the Buddha or anything is too far away for them!

What's the use of saying so many mysteries, doing a good job in the moment is their pursuit. So some people will say that the reader is too realistic and doesn't understand these Buddhist teachings.

However, the reader understands one truth, that is

"Empty talk misleads the country", these monks don't do anything to produce, and they know what to say every day

"Edifying the world"? Please, people's lives are good, where can I use you to educate! If you have this time, it is better to carry a few more sacks of sacks, or make a few more transactions, which can improve the life of the family.

The Buddha Sect has developed rapidly like a weed over the years, spreading to all parts of the Metaverse, and almost all of them are in the Nine Domains.

Aren't those solemn temples built with the hard-earned money of believers? But these claims

"Saving the suffering".

What have the "living bodhisattvas" done for those believers? Well, tell them to be content with the status quo and accept their fate, even if it is miserable, even if it is unfair, even if it is disgusting.

Then he said that you have to endure it, that this is a test given to you by God, and that after passing it you will be able to be rich and prosperous in the next life, and that you will be able to live a happy life.

Ahh

Therefore, the reader's perception of Buddhism has always been bad, but the monarchs of various countries do not exclude Buddhism from developing followers within their borders, because these teachings coincide with their ideas and are what they are happy to see!

It is not easy to climb this spiritual mountain, but fortunately, everyone is very human, with a strong vitality as a foundation, and a little fatigue is naturally nothing.

After a long journey, the group finally reached the top of the mountain. The summit has been flattened, revealing a huge plaza on which stands an extremely large Buddha palace, with two secondary halls on the left and right.

At the first glance of it, Lin Yan only had one feeling in his heart, and that was shock! Then, he couldn't help but think about how much gold and silver it would cost to build these palaces, and how many believers would have to donate it.

Don't think that gold and silver are vulgar, people live in the world. In the final analysis, gold and silver are merely measuring tools, and they bear a link between people in the exchange of the fruits of their labor.

In ancient times, people knew that they had to exchange what they earned from their labor for the income of others.

However, I don't know when there were some people who did not produce but stood on the heads of these laborers.

They shouted and shouted, they were powerful, and they seemed to think that they were gods and that they should be worshipped on the altar.

However, everyone is conceived by their mothers in October, who is more noble than whom? Lin Yan stretched out his hand and touched it when he walked to the front of the Buddha Palace, and then he was surprised to find that the wall was painted with gold dust, which simply subverted his imagination, I am afraid that the palace is far less than this!

He was even thinking that this brick alone might be enough for an ordinary family to eat for several years. You may be eating bran and even hungry, but you donate your only savings to the temple to ask for the blessing of the Buddha and pray for a transformation in the next life and usher in a different life.

Foolish, foolish! Do you think that one day the Buddha will come to you and tell you that because you have dedicated your faith to the Buddha, the Buddha will free you from the sea of suffering!

Wake up, the sea of bitterness is boundless, and you won't necessarily be on the shore when you turn back! On the boat, you and I are fighting!

Maybe what you're waiting for is not the Buddha after all, but the god of death! However, this can be regarded as a wish, after all, after a hundred deaths, you will be out of the sea of suffering!

If you hate this world, then the world is purgatory! If you can discover the beauty around you, then where is not heaven?

It's a pity that people in the world are mediocre and often can't see through this, maybe they don't want to believe it, work hard, and change it with their own hands.

That's why there are Buddhas in the world, and there is such a group of enlightened people to save these foolish people. When I entered the Buddha Palace, I found that the splendor on the outside was far less than the splendor on the inside.

All the corridors that were walked through were covered with crystals of various colors, shining with dazzling brilliance, and on the walls on both sides of it, there were hollowed-out lattices, and inside were the golden bodies of the Venerable Beings of all sides.

Further on, you will pass a landscaped courtyard with a man-dug pond with many koi fish in it.

In the Northern Desert, where drinking water is so difficult, it is also interesting to have the leisure to get this! Moreover, this is only because the academy group came from this corridor, but in fact, there is definitely more than this!

After moving forward again, after passing through several corridors, the group finally reached the innermost layer of the Buddha Palace, which was an extremely solemn hall

"The Temple of the Demons"!

"All-encompassing" means all-encompassing,

"Fu Demon" refers to the ability to deter the demons, which means that the Buddha can dominate the world. There are three giant Buddha statues enshrined in the main hall, and Lin Yan once learned from the classics that this is the Buddha's

"Three lifetimes", that is

"Buddha of the Past"

"Living Buddha" and

"Buddha of the Future". These three Buddhas are about ten zhang high, and the treasure is solemn, looking down on all living beings with a solemn and coercive posture.

Standing under the Buddha, people will unconsciously give birth to a feeling of fear and more awe.

This also shows that the Buddha is high up and looks down on all living beings in the world. Therefore, we must worship the Buddha, worship them, worship them, and pray for them...... On the walls behind these three Buddhas, there are a large number of Buddha shrines, which are thousands of them.

And among them, there are statues of the Venerable Buddhas with different expressions, densely packed, shining with golden light, like the stars of the heavens.

At this time, Lin Yan had a question in his heart: Could this Buddha statue be made of pure gold? The old Buddhist said that the golden body and golden body thought it was a respectful statement, but in fact it was just the remains of a great monk.

However, at the moment, this is obviously a little different, this is clearly artificial, after all, who has ever seen a giant more than ten feet tall?

Looking at the white jade floor under his feet, Lin Yan felt that his credibility soared, the Buddha statues in this hall were really made of pure gold!

As soon as he thought of this, Lin Yan couldn't help but smack his lips and thought:

"That's a lot of money!" If you cultivate like this, you are not afraid that a thief will come in and steal it in the middle of the night. But he thought about it: Well, the thief didn't dare to come, and he couldn't fight this group of Buddhist disciples, in all senses!

Naturally, it is impossible for the people of Xuantian Sect to really worship the Buddha, and the same is true for the academy. In fact

None of the "Seven Sects" bowed their heads when they saw the Buddha, if that really happened, Lin Yan would suspect that either he was crazy or the world was crazy!

But the later sects are not so reserved and tough, I don't know if they really believe in Buddhism, or if they are afraid of the other party's might.

Some of the "Twelve Schools" worship Buddha statues. It's just that they are still a little reserved, they just bow with their hands folded.

When it came to the last of those small and medium-sized sects, there were many tricks, some bowed, some bowed, and even one of them was personally led by the head of the family, and they were happier to see the big Buddha than to see his biological parents.

People said that it was time to go, but he didn't, he went up and hugged the feet of the Buddha and didn't let go, and in the end even the disciples of the Buddha couldn't stand it, so he forcibly pulled it away by a few people.

I don't know what to say! In the end, it can only be attributed to excessive piety!

The bowed one laughed at the one who kowtowed, and the one who kowtowed looked down on the one who held the big Buddha's leg and didn't let go, anyway, he despised it layer by layer.

But they all forgot one thing, they came on behalf of the sect, and the moment they bowed their heads, they were already convinced.

That's what it is

"Fifty steps to laugh at a hundred steps"? What is there to be proud of? Perhaps, this is the differential treatment brought about by different status.

The "Seven Sects" just came to go through the motions, but no one dared to show them a look. And those small and medium-sized sects need to be respectful to the Buddha, although they don't really believe in the teachings of the Buddha in their hearts, but they have to show that kind of thing on their faces.

This is the reality of the rivers and lakes, and at the same time, it is also the sadness of martial arts! Because the bottom line that the warrior insists on is gone, but he learns to meet him, he loses his backbone and suffers

"Osteomalacia"! But anyway, this cutscene is over, and then it's time to get into the theme and start this martial arts competition!

The martial arts competition led by the three religions will naturally not be so simple, and the experience of martial arts competitions in the ring on weekdays is not very useful.

If that were the case, the mortality rate in the past would not have been so high, after all, who would dare to kill openly in front of everyone?

Take this martial arts competition as an example, the venue was chosen in a dangerous place in the Northern Desert, known as

"Sand Grave". And all the disciples of the various factions who participated in the martial arts competition had to enter it, and each fought according to his ability. All disciples who enter it will be required to wear a string of Buddhist beads, which will be used as a certificate, and once taken away, they will be judged to be disqualified, and the means are not limited.

In order to successfully move on to the next stage, it is necessary to collect at least five strings of beads. Then how did this Buddha bead come from, and it is impossible for others to take the initiative to give it to you, so you can only grab it!

If you rob someone else, people will naturally want to snatch it back, so the solution once and for all is naturally to directly cripple or even kill them, which is the root cause of the high mortality rate.

To put it bluntly, this kind of martial arts competition is like raising Gu, and if you don't have enough strength, you will use it as someone else's head, and you will lose your life in vain.

And every year, a large number of disciples use their blood and even their lives to interpret this simple truth. The venue of this Wubi is in a desert, and the reason why it is called a dangerous place is because in addition to the harsh environment, there are also many unknown dangers hidden in it.

Moreover, all participants in the tournament must not rely on external means of transportation, which means that it is impossible for you to ride a sand camel or ride a sand boat to the competition.

If that's the case, why don't you have any fun, you might as well hold a race! Of course, if you can domesticate wild sand camels yourself after entering the grounds, or build a sand boat directly, then even if you are powerful, the rules will not limit you.

Only, is this really possible? It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to survive if they enter it.

Although the strength of these disciples participating in the martial arts competition is not bad, but in this environment, their strength will be greatly reduced, in addition to adapting to the harsh environment, they also have to guard against the attacks of various dangerous creatures in the desert, and there is also a more terrifying threat, that is your opponent!

Under these multiple pressures, after a knockout match, there may not be many people left! I have to say that this time the Wubi Buddha Sect is geographically advantageous, after all, their disciples live here all the year round, not to mention that they know it well, at least they are more familiar with and adapted, which will bring them a great advantage.

And in the desert, water is extremely scarce. Although each disciple was given a water bag, if the martial arts continued for a long time, this bag of water would definitely not be enough, and such a development would inevitably lead to a new round of competition!

However, in any case, the disciples of the various sects still actively participated, and few people retreated. After all, they have all come, not to mention those who are virtual to win glory for the sect, fighting for themselves and fighting for a splendid future is the right way.

The key point is one

The word "fight", because there is nothing that others will give you plainly, everything needs to be fought for and snatched by yourself.

If you grab it, it's yours; If you can't grab it, blame you for not having the ability, and you don't have to complain!

"Xiao Yanzi, be careful!" Mingya said worriedly.

"Well, look at me!" Lin Yan didn't say

Words like "It must be fine", because even he doesn't know what will happen after the start of the martial arts, he can only protect himself as much as possible and achieve a good performance, so that he can keep moving forward.

Then he waited for the arrangement with the other students of the academy who participated in the martial arts competition. This Desert Trial does not stipulate the form of confrontation, and in theory everyone is an opponent, but there is no restriction on teaming.

In this way, disciples of the same sect will always spontaneously get together and form a small group, which is more advantageous for both confrontation and ensuring their own safety.

I don't know if it was to increase the difficulty for everyone, entering this trial desert, and not allowing teams to enter in advance, but disrupting all of them, and then letting them enter it from different directions.

In this way, it is not easy for even people of the same denomination to want to converge. And during this time, anything can happen, adding a lot of variables, which is really ...... I can play!

Unfortunately, Lin Yan was arranged in this direction without a single other academy disciple. Once inside, it will be clear whether he is a lamb to the slaughter or a lone wolf to hunt!

Enter this graveyard of sand, and the martial arts have officially begun!
