Chapter 226: Nine-Story Stupa
The trial of the first level is basically over, and all that remains is some finishing touches. First of all, those who didn't meet the requirements of the trial were trapped
The people in the "sand grave" must be saved! They must not be left to fend for themselves. Secondly, the bodies of those disciples of the sect who have died must also be brought out, except for those who have been buried in the wombs of beasts, or who have been missing for a long time and cannot be found.
In short, Buddhism always has to give everyone an explanation! Finally, for the disciples who have passed the first level of the trial, the Buddha Sect naturally has a reward, that is, these disciples can be allowed to enter once
"Refining Pool". This pool is different from the effect of the holy spring to temper the body, it is mainly used to recover injuries, and of course, it can also wash away impurities in the body.
The more Buddha beads you have in your hand, the more you can rank in the forefront, and if you enter it one step ahead of others, you will get more benefits.
The number of Buddha beads in Lin Yan's hand is not too much, except for the beginning from the master
In addition to what "Zhenmei" got in his hands, most of the Buddha beads obtained by robbing the disciples of other sects later were given to Wuzhen and Wumei because they were agreed to give them to them, and they kept very little, so they could only barely be regarded as medium-level.
But this is enough for him, after all, his own recovery ability is not weak, this
"Purification" is just the icing on the cake! But when Lin Yan entered
After the "refining pool", he realized that he was underestimating this thing. The effect of this pool of water is not quite good
"Life and death, flesh and bones", but the recovery from injuries has reached an outrageous level.
If the two sects start a war, if they are injured, they will soak in it, and then turn their heads and go into the battlefield again, wouldn't it be equivalent to
"Perpetual motion machine"! And not only that, Lin Yan also clearly felt that the impurities in his body had been washed out a lot, and his flesh became more and more tough.
You must know that his body is equivalent to a powerhouse in the middle of the acquired realm, and he can even wash out impurities, which shows that the methods of Buddhism have their own mysteries!
Received this
The reward of the "Refining Pool", but there is no rush for the second trial, after all, everyone has worked so hard before, and they always have to rest for a while.
During the time when the disciples who participated in the trial were resting, the people on the Buddhist side began to deal with it nervously
Problems left over from the "Sand Grave" trial. Although the difficulty of this trial is not small, it is the disciples of small and medium-sized sects who are eliminated the most, and some sects are even wiped out directly, and the elders of the sect who led the team almost fainted without coming up in one breath.
Unlike those who have excellent disciples in the big sects, they may select two or three excellent disciples in one sect, which is good, all folded here, how can he go back and explain to the people in the sect?
However, these are completely outside the scope of consideration of Buddhism, after all, this martial arts competition is very cruel, not a child's game, these situations are within the normal range.
These losers can choose to stay and watch other trials, and if they are not interested, they will have to leave the game in disgrace!
A few days later, the second trial finally began! It's different from before
The large area of the "sand tomb", the place of trial this time is in a pagoda. This tower is nine stories high,
"Nine" is the extreme number, which is also in line with the Buddhist principle! There is no carved dragon and phoenix on the tower wall, but it presents a sense of golden brilliance.
The body of the tower seems to be covered with glass, and under the sunlight, it emits ten thousand golden lights, which is daunting!
The name of this tower is:
"Glazed Floating Massacre", in accordance with
"One layer of pagoda and one layer of Buddha", this pagoda should have at least nine Buddhas in charge, is it difficult to build layer by layer?
That's too perverted, isn't it? After some understanding, fortunately, there is no Buddha in this place, but there are also a number of masters of the Buddha sect on each floor to guard and act as an examiner.
There is even an Arhat! Although Lin Yan didn't know much about Buddhism, he had heard of it
The name of "Luohan"!
"Luohan" is also called
"Arhat" is one of the four fruits of shravaka and is the ultimate fruit of Theravada Buddhism. It can be divided into:
"Arhat toward" and
There are two kinds of "arhat fruit". The former refers to those who are still in the stage of cultivation and tend to be arhats; The latter refers to the Holy One who has cut off all afflictions and attained wisdom and received the great offerings of the world.
No matter what it is, it is a pivotal figure in the Buddhist Sect, and he actually ended up in person, just for this trial, and the difficulty of it can be seen!
In the common interpretation of Buddhism, the three meanings of killing a thief, not being born, and making offerings are cited, which are called the three meanings of arhats, which are the most common sayings since ancient times.
Killing thieves means that an arhat can cut off the confusion of seeing and thinking in the Three Realms. Unborn means that an arhat has attained nirvana and is no longer born in the Three Realms, so it is called unborn.
Offering means that an arhat is free from all afflictions and should be supported by the heavens. this
"Three righteousness" sounds mysterious and mysterious, but Lin Yan will not fully believe it. However, there is no doubt about the strength of Arhat, and this trial must be cautious!
The disciples of the various sects who have passed the first level of the trial enter the stupa in batches and in an orderly manner under the arrangement of the Buddha Sect to accept the trial assessment, and only by constantly defeating the guards of each level can they continue to go up.
And the minimum requirement to pass this second level of trial is to break through to more than five layers of pagodas, and the rest will be counted as elimination!
The average strength of the gatekeepers of this first-layer stupa is about the middle stage of the Tongmai Realm, and the threat to the disciples of these sects is not great, and the main purpose is to let these disciples adapt to the assessment method.
But the higher you go, the stronger the gatekeeper becomes. By the time they reached the third layer, the strength of the gatekeepers had reached the point of the Great Perfection of the Tongmai Realm, and under the one-on-one competition, the difficulty was still not small.
Maybe this level is nothing for the disciples of the three sects and seven sects, but it is not so easy for the disciples of some small and medium-sized sects.
Of course, this is not the most desperate thing, but the strength of the gatekeepers at the fourth layer has reached the half-step acquired realm, which also makes many disciples stop here!
If they don't rush to the fifth layer, then they can only be eliminated, and the rules are so ruthless! Although Lin Yan had many encounters before, he was still young after all, so he did not break through to the acquired realm, and his strength was almost the appearance of a half-step acquired realm.
But now he not only has extremely strong physical fitness, which is already comparable to the powerhouse in the middle of the acquired realm, but also has other means, and the challenge of skipping the level is not a problem, so a strong person of the same level cannot pose a threat to him at all.
What really made him fall into a bitter battle was after reaching the sixth layer, because the strength of the gatekeeper here had reached the level of the middle stage of the acquired realm, and he was also a master of refining the body of the Buddha Sect, so it was really difficult to deal with!
The battle between him and Wu Xie was also a dangerous victory, if the situation at that time happened again, Lin Yan really didn't have the confidence to win 100%, maybe he would overturn!
After all, the other party's
The name of "Blood Buddha" was not obtained out of thin air, it was a master of the younger generation of Buddhism, and he was stronger than him above the realm.
Even if Lin Yan won that battle by luck, he would not be proud, nor would he dare to be proud. Because if he doesn't continue to improve his strength, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose when they meet again!
Fortunately, although the strength of the gatekeepers at this level is not weak, after all, they can't be compared with the outstanding disciples of the Buddhist sect such as Wuxie, after a hard battle, Lin Yan finally reached the seventh layer!
…… Time passes little by little, and the challenges continue. All the eliminators below the fifth floor will be sent out of the tower after determining that they are no longer able to rush through the level, which also means that their martial arts competition has come to an end.
Challengers with more than five layers have theoretically passed the second level of the trial, but the higher the number of layers they can reach, the more benefits they can finally obtain, so no one chooses to give up for the time being!
After Tu Tian and Yuan Hao broke through the sixth layer, they could only regretfully stop at the seventh layer, unable to take another step forward!
Their current strength has also reached the early stage of the acquired realm, and after casting some secret methods, it is not impossible to fight with the powerhouses in the middle of the acquired realm.
Moreover, the trial of this second level is different from the first level, and it will not easily hurt their lives. This makes the gatekeepers a little restrained between their shots, and invisibly gives them a chance.
But further up, the two of them were powerless, so they wisely chose to give up and were sent out of the tower.
Xuantian Sect's Long Bingning, Xu Lang and others almost stopped here, but Zong Chai did not stop, and continued to challenge the high-level, obviously with a lot of confidence, it may be that the strength has improved greatly during this time!
The Buddhist sect should not be underestimated, leaving the master behind
In addition to the two "True Beauty" having already given up on the sixth layer, Wu Xie also chose to withdraw from the seventh layer due to his injuries.
However, there are obviously other strong people in the Buddha Sect, one is called
The young monk of the "Holy Buddha" Wuming sang all the way and entered the eighth layer, which was staggering!
Similarly, entering the eighth layer was also a white-clothed man from Xuantian Sect who was holding a jade flute and hanging a long sword from his waist, named Liheng!
This person's strength is above Zong Chasing, even if he enters the eighth layer, his aura is not the slightest disorder!
On the other hand, Qin Chen, who has also entered the eighth layer, although he can also be called outstanding, he will be slightly inferior to these two people.
After all, it took a lot of effort for him to break through, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he had exhausted all his means, but at this moment, he was powerless to climb to the ninth floor!
However, he was very satisfied at this time, because this level was not something that ordinary people could reach, at least among the disciples sent by the academy this time, no one could reach his height.
In time, the perverted brothers and sisters in the inner courtyard will also be just around the corner! On the other side, Lin Yan was struggling to break through the seventh layer, with his current realm, even if he used secret methods, coupled with his powerful physique, he was still losing ground under the attack of the other party's late acquired realm.
The current realm is no longer enough to support him to continue to move forward, it's time to break through! Lin Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and the light in his eyes flashed, as if he had made up his mind!
