Chapter 643: Lingshan is no longer there
(PS: Today's temporary change, my hand still hurts, sorry!)
Walking the road to the west again, the familiar words rippled in Xu Lin's mind at this moment. After all, the road to the west, these four words represent the feats of the primeval era again and again. The feats of Master Bao Sanzang, the Great Sage of Fighting, went to the West Tianling Mountain to obtain the true scriptures, and Kuafu's pursuit of the sun to the west and fell, etc., are all expounding the glory of this road.
It's just that it's just brilliant. Xu Lin himself felt that after they embarked on the same road, there was nothing different about them. It has been three days since they came out of the Holy Land of Shaking Light, Xu Lin and the others came across the starry sky through the teleportation array above Jizhou, and appeared on the land of Yuzhou, and then after three days of flight, they have entered the boundaries of various small countries in the Western Regions.
Along the way, Xu Lin and they didn't rest once, and the threat of the Son of Heaven was like chasing after them, and everyone had a feeling that they were on their backs. They came out this time, a total of five people. Xu Lin, Tiangui, Yang Xiaoyao, Taixu, Guangcheng Emperor Seal Spirit.
Entering the Western Regions, the green and majestic mountains gradually disappeared from view, and more and more golden sand appeared. And the buildings above Kyushu also disappeared here, and above the golden sea of sand, Xu Lin and they saw towering pagodas. Although there is still a little bit of Buddha nature, it has been ruined for a long time.
After another three days, they finally saw the temple in their sights. It is like a dense cluster of stars, quietly crawling on the land of thousands of years ago and now the Buddha is preaching the Dharma. A faint but incomparably pure telepathic power rippled over these temples, and the golden Buddha light could be seen in the sky like a light wave from afar.
The power of mind and the light of the Buddha are still there, but they are no longer human. The glory of Buddhism in the past was accompanied by the retreat of the three Buddhas, and they retreated into the Buddhist realm, and there are very few Buddhist disciples left in Kyushu.
Xu Lin and the others walked on the yellow sand, and when they saw the temple along the way, they would enter. But it's a pity that they only saw the dilapidated temple, in which there were a few ordinary Dharma, and the monks who had not yet cultivated to the step of the Yuan Shen. The enshrined Buddha Jin is also surrounded by bands, with a strong atmosphere of corruption.
Although Buddhism has declined in Chixian Shenzhou, Xu Lin and the others still saw pilgrims on the road, pious step by step, kowtowing, walking towards the spiritual mountain at the end of the west, and worshipping sincerely.
Xu Lin and the others acted as passers-by and hurried away. Finally, two days later, at the end of the yellow sand, I finally saw a humble city. In this humble city, there are many figures walking around.
After a few days of asceticism, they finally saw a decent place, Xu Lin and the others immediately looked shocked, stepped away, shrunk into inches, and arrived at this humble city almost in a few breaths.
Simple, incredibly rudimentary. When they arrived here, Xu Lin and the others found that in the center of this humble city with a range of less than two hundred miles, it was actually a temple with the atmosphere of ancient vicissitudes, exuding pure mental power and a faint Buddha light. And around, there are dilapidated straw huts with heads high, which stretch for 200 miles away, forming such a humble city.
"This is the temple of the Great Virtue Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva!" said to Xu Lin and them in the temple. This old monk has been practicing in this temple for almost a hundred years, and his reputation is very high, and he is vaguely the lord of this humble city.
He practiced here every day, although he did not practice the exercises, but the daily mental power and the washing of the Buddha's light also allowed him to have the cultivation of the steps of the Xuangong, and his lifespan was more than two hundred years.
The Great Virtue Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva is also a very famous existence in Buddhism. Before he became a bodhisattva, his name was Dawei Light Immortal. Later, an evil dragon appeared in the Western Regions, setting off a bloody storm and countless pilgrims fell into its mouth. At that time, the Great Power Light Immortal, whose cultivation was still very low, stepped forward and fought with the evil dragon with a senseless spirit, and finally died at the mouth of the evil dragon. The evil dragon was subdued by the Buddhist Bodhisattvas who followed, and the Great Power Light Immortal was led to Lingshan.
Because of his bravery and loyalty to Buddhism, he is now given the title of Great Virtue Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva by the Buddha, who leads the eight divisions of the Heavenly Dragon. In a series of disasters in Buddhism later, the great power and virtue of Tianlong Bodhisattva walked in the forefront, leading the Arhats of Lingshan to resist one calamity after another.
In the land of the Western Regions, there are many temples dedicated to his golden body. Because the Great Virtue Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva represents the spirit of justice, bravery, great senselessness, and sacrifice, it is known as the guardian of all pilgrims.
On the main hall of this temple, there is a golden body of the Bodhisattva Bodhisattva with angry eyes and fierce eyes, stepping on the dragon. After Xu Lin and the others visited, they were led by the old monk to the meditation room next to them.
"Lingshan, I don't know what happened to her now. Since the Buddha led the Lingshan tribes to withdraw from Chixian Shenzhou, although the Lingshan Buddha Light is still there, it is probably already dilapidated. Hearing Xu Lin ask him about the situation in Lingshan, a gloomy look flashed in the old monk's eyes, and he said in a somewhat low tone.
"Didn't you ever want to go to Lingshan to have a look?" Xu Lin asked in a harmonious voice.
"I can't go, it's useless to go. Not to mention that the road to Lingshan is 108,000 miles away, even if you walk this road, you can't see Lingshan when you reach Lingshan. It is rumored that after the Buddha withdrew from Chixian Shenzhou, he performed the Great Buddha Law and hid Lingshan in another time and space, never to be seen again. Xu Lin's question made the old monk's expression even more lonely.
"I see!" Hearing the old monk's answer, a line of disappointment flashed across Xu Lin's face. Originally, he wanted to know a little about Lingshan's current situation from the old monk's mouth, but Lingshan was no longer there. However, in retrospect, Xu Lin also knew very well that Lingshan was the foundation of Buddhism after all, and if the Buddha led the troops to withdraw from Chixian Shenzhou, Lingshan would not necessarily be defeated.
In the words of the Son of Yama, they will come back. Casting the Great Buddha Dharma to hide Lingshan in another time and space, not to mention the Buddha, can be done now with Xu Lin's strength.
At this point, Xu Lin and the others had a little more distressed. Lingshan was hidden in another time and space, and they couldn't find Lingshan at all if they didn't have clues. The relics of the Great Sage Relic King Buddha of Nanwu are on the Ling Mountain, and they have to rely on the relics to find the place where the Great Sage of Fighting and Fighting is sleeping.
After asking to no avail, Xu Lin and the others took their leave, although it was difficult to find Lingshan, but Xu Lin and they had no other way now. On the road again, Xu Lin and his party were full of trouble. Seeing the temple again on the road, Xu Lin walked in after hesitating and asked the monks inside about all the news about Lingshan.
This walk is half a month, Xu Lin and they walked into the temple with hope every time, and then walked out with disappointment.
"How's it going?" asked Yang Xiaoyao in a deep voice.
Xu Lin shook his head, his face looking very depressed. As far as the eye could see, the West was close at hand, but they still hadn't found the slightest bit of news about Lingshan.
"Do you want to keep looking?" asked Tenjo.
"Of course we have to continue, we can only rely on the Great Sage of Fighting for now. You know the horror of the Son of Yama better than I do. With our current capital, we simply can't fight him. It was by chance that the Shaohao Heavenly Emperor had learned the whereabouts of the Ancient Heavenly Court, so we had the opportunity to erase hope when he was resurrected. However, the Son of Yama would never let us find him. When we go back, I'm afraid he has been successfully resurrected. Xu Lin replied bitterly.
Everyone was silent, Xu Lin's words were right, the Son of Yama was scheming, and he had already been famous in the primeval era. They don't have the means to fight him now, and if they don't wake up the Great Sage of Fighting, they can only be robbed of the Hongmeng Jade Plate by the Son of Yama and die.
On the road again, it had been a full month since they left the Holy Land of Shaking Light, and along the way, Xu Lin and they had walked into thousands of temples, but what they got was a disappointing result. Moving forward in silence, after three days, they finally came to the end of the West.
Legend has it that the Lingshan Mountain located at the end of the west is really gone, and the empty place, although there are also thoughts and Buddha light rippling, but it makes Xu Lin's heart sink to the valley.
"Let's take a look around. Xu Lin didn't give up, his face was already gray, but he still spoke. The group immediately dispersed, searching for the end of this West.
Half a day later, a message came from Tiangui. In a valley five hundred miles away from the old site of Lingshan, I saw an ancient temple, not big, only a stone hall, but on the dilapidated plaque hanging above the door, Tiangui saw familiar words.
After Xu Lin and the others learned the news, they rushed over and gathered in front of the ancient temple.
On the dilapidated wooden plaque, but fortunately not weathered, there are four words: Da*Yin Temple! The second word is not known to have been crossed by something, and the whole character has been hollowed out, so Xu Lin and they can only see that "big... "Sound Temple" three incomparably ancient texts.
"Da Lei Yin Temple?" Soon, Xu Lin and the others thought of the name of a temple. The holy temple on the Lingshan Mountain, the holy place of Buddhism, Da Lei Yin Temple.
However, they were only suspicious, no matter how much they tried to find the whereabouts of Lingshan, they would not connect the Buddhist temple with the stone temple in front of them, which was extremely crude and had a dilapidated atmosphere all over its body.
The stone temple in front of me is too crude and dilapidated, the gate is gone, and you can see everything inside at a glance. On that altar, there was not even a golden body of a Buddha, let alone those Bodhisattvas and Arhats. Such a temple, they won't believe it if they kill Xu Lin, this is the Great Leiyin Temple.
However, in the next moment, Xu Lin's gaze at the inside of the temple suddenly froze, and a look of shock welled up in the depths of his eyes.
Just now he glanced at it, and in the empty temple, there was a monk sitting cross-legged on a futon, with his back towards the gate, his body bowed deeply, as if he was sincerely worshipping the Buddha.
