98. The Way of Subodhi

Lin Ning traveled all the way, and finally broke away from the dark and deep corridor and came to a cave more than 100 zhang high.

The central stone wall of the cave is hollowed out inward, and under the swaying of the ever-bright lanterns and candles, the height of the statue of the Great Sun Rulai who reaches the top of the cave has lowered its eyebrows, and the gold carving decoration on its body is extremely luxurious, swaying in the light with an intoxicating halo.

On the side of the great day Rulai stood Manjushri and Puxian two Bodhisattvas, all wearing Western Regions costumes. The upper body is bare, decorated only with ribbon gold ornaments and bead carvings, and the lower body wears wide-legged pants and steps on lotus flowers.

There is a lion with hideous eyebrows at the feet of Manjushri Bodhisattva, and there is a white elephant with kind eyebrows under the seat of Puxian Bodhisattva.

Lin Ning looked up for a while, but he was not disrespectful, nor did he pay homage.

In her previous life, she didn't enter the temple, didn't worship the Buddha when she saw it, and never asked the gods and Buddhas when she encountered trouble. Because she consciously does not believe in God and Buddha to save people, God and Buddha do not make transactions with people, and those who worship Buddha worship their own inner beliefs. And she already has faith in her heart, so there is no need to worship again.

She walked around the cave and found that it was a dead end, and there was no other way behind the cave. This shouldn't be, this is the place where the most likely exit is found under the spell of the word "Find".

After a while, her eyes fell on the Buddha again, where there were two small statues. Although it is a small statue, it is only compared to the Buddha statue, in fact, both small statues are one person tall. At first she thought it was just decorations, but now she found that she couldn't find her way out, so she focused on them.

Of the two statues, one is ragged and withered. A well-dressed and well-looked one. The hands of the two statues are stretched forward, each holding a Buddha bowl in the palm of their hand.

Lin Ning looked into the bowl, and there were only clear water and nest heads in the Buddha bowl in the hands of the ragged little statue. Dressed decently like a Buddha bowl in his hand, but filled with delicacies from the mountains and seas.

"Legend has it that when Venerable Subodhi turned into a fortune in his early years, he only asked for alms from rich and noble families, and never stretched out his hand to the cold door to turn his fate. Some monks, who were also disciples of the Buddha, laughed at him, saying that he was not allowed to enter because he looked down on the poor and humble charity. ”

Lin Ning nodded his chin, remembering a public case of Venerable Subodhi, these two small statues stood here, obviously to test the comer, hoping that the comer would make a suitable choice.

However, Venerable Subodhi said that it was quite difficult for the poor to support themselves, so why bother to stretch out their hands to them to increase their burden? ”

Lin Ning was thinking about it, but she felt someone approaching in the corridor behind her, she looked back and saw that it was Taihao Xianjun's clothes flying over.

Taihao Xianjun paused at the door of the cave, and was also stunned when he saw Lin Ning. Then he smiled and said, "It's a coincidence." ”

Lin Ning also smiled: "It's really a coincidence." ”

Taihao Xianjun walked into the cave, looked up at the Buddha statue first, and then also looked at the two small statues in front of the Buddha.

Lin Ning stood beside Taihao Xianjun, but suddenly approached him slightly, sniffed lightly with his nose, and then retreated, "Master, did you meet someone?"

Taihao Immortal Jun glanced at Lin Ning meaninglessly, and said, "Your nose is a spirit." ”

Lin Ning smiled, but heard Taihao Xianjun say: "I met Ling Xiao." ”

"No wonder, I smell spirit vanilla. Lin Ning rubbed his nose and said.

Spirit vanilla, a perennial herb with a peculiar fragrance. It can dispel cold and relieve the surface, relieve pain, and repel insects and turbidity. It grows mostly in valleys, streams, underforests, and humus soils.

Spirit herb is a commonly used incense in the Temple of Emperor Wa in the Southern Regions, and the smell is very special and can be easily distinguished.

As soon as he heard that it was Ling Xiao, Lin Ning didn't plan to ask more, but Taihao Xianjun glanced back and said, "At first, he kept following me, but then he encountered a few sad levels, and he couldn't keep up." ”

"Sad level?" Lin Ning said suspiciously: "I have traveled all the way, and I have not encountered any danger at all, and I am still thinking about why the core of this Su Bodhi Secret Realm is so easy." ”

Taihao Immortal Jun shook his head slightly when he heard this, and said, "Although the checkpoints on the route I traveled were cleverly arranged, I always felt that they were not the original techniques of this secret realm. ”

Taihao Xianjun paused, and said with the mantra of the word "listen":

[Since I came into contact with Zhiwu yesterday, I have felt a little strange. Zhiwu actually practiced silence, and when he was alone with me, he kept the precepts and did not say anything, and did not do anything that could express his will. 】

[If all this was planned by Zhiwu, then his current behavior is too strange. Those mechanisms don't look like they were set up by him, they are too ...... Lower. Zhiwu doesn't think that this will hurt me. 】

Lin Ning was also a little puzzled, but he still said: [Whether this is arranged by Zhiwu or not, he must have played a pivotal role in it. The top priority now is to go down and get the 10th mirror. 】

Taihao Immortal Jun glanced at Lin Ning and said puzzledly:

[Originally, I thought that I came to the center of the Bodhi Secret Realm because the calculating heart of the Western Regions was unavoidable, and it was better to plan the plan than to wait for them to use the means again, and destroy or steal the Tenth World Mirror while they didn't know that we had already known the overall situation. But now it seems that you are very enthusiastic about the Tenth Mirror itself. 】

Lin Ning replied: [The Tenth Mirror artifact has a spirit, and it has been raised in the abyss of hell for so many years, so it is difficult to guarantee that it will not have a certain connection with the evil qi. In the future, we will one day confront the evil spirit, and there are no disadvantages to getting the Ten Mirrors. 】

[You know so much about the Tenth Mirror, don't you want to accept it yourself?]

[That's an artifact, how can I have such a great ability. Accepting the 10th Mirror will inevitably lead to the reincarnation of the 10th Mirror, and the Master will have to go out in person, and I will take you and the 10th Mirror out of the secret realm of Subodhi safely. 】

Lin Ningcai didn't plan to follow Taihao Xianjun into the Tenth World Mirror like Ling Xiao in the original book.

First, the situation in the original book is critical, Taihao Xianjun is seriously injured, if there is no one to help him in the tenth mirror, he may face serious danger, but now Taihao Xianjun is intact, so naturally there is no such trouble.

Second, if one more person enters the Tenth World Mirror, the difficulty coefficient and complexity will increase exponentially according to the life experience of the entrant. I came from this world, and the experience itself is more complicated, if the Taihao Immortal Monarch who is harmed because of himself can't come out, then the fun will be great.

Therefore, the task she gave herself was to properly bring out the Tenth Mirror, and as for the matter of subduing the Tenth Mirror, it would be good to hand it over to Taihao Xianjun.

"Looking at the situation in the labyrinth, the exit should be here. After the two agreed, they naturally had to think about how to go to the back level.

Lin Ning pointed to the two small statues in front of him and said, "The Famen should be on these two small statues." ”

Taihao Immortal Jun knew no less about Buddhism than Lin Ning, so about the deeds of Venerable Subodhi, he naturally could think of what Lin Ning could think of.

"If we were to choose the charity of a statue, then according to the philosophy of Venerable Subodhi, we would be elected as the Buddha bowl of the rich and noble. Lin Ning paused, and then said, "But I don't think that's the case." ”

The two glanced at each other, and said at the same time: "There is no generosity, and there is no self to live." ”
