Chapter 1991 Enlightenment on the Stone Tablet
As Lord Great Ku slowly spoke, everyone present fell silent.
"Fellow Taoists, please be patient and listen to the poor monk explain the detailed rules. There are three rounds of this magical performance, and the venue for the first round is the 'Pagoda Peak' in front of us. . ”
“I believe that many fellow Taoists know that the top of Futu Peak is a forbidden area for our sect. Only the sect leader and the selected brothers can enter, and outsiders are never allowed to intrude. Therefore, the ugly words of the poor monk are ahead. Fellow Taoists who will participate in the performance must not climb to the halfway point of the mountain. Otherwise, even if they step into the forbidden area, don’t blame the poor monk for being unkind! "
He! These words were very serious. Everyone nodded after hearing this. Some people responded loudly: "Senior, don't worry! We all know what's appropriate and will never go overboard."
"Okay."
The Venerable Great Suffering nodded, and said: "When choosing a Buddhist son, the cultivation of magical powers is the second most important thing. In fact, the most important thing is Buddha nature. People without Buddha nature will not be able to communicate with each other. The 'Pudu Golden Wheel' is integrated, so this first round of testing is your Buddha nature."
At this point, he turned slightly sideways and pointed to the hillside of Futu Peak.
“You see, there are nine levels of hillside starting from the foot of the mountain. There are hundreds of stone tablets standing side by side on each level of the hillside. The inscriptions recorded on them are the understanding of Buddhism by the eminent monks of the past generations in Luotian Mountain. And you What we have to do is to understand these inscriptions.”
"It should be noted that whether you can understand the inscriptions has nothing to do with your cultivation, but only your Buddha nature. And because there are thousands of people with different faces, the Buddha nature of all living beings is different, you just need to choose the one that suits you best. Just understand that stone tablet.”
After listening to Venerable Da Ku's introduction, everyone present had different expressions.
Someone asked: "There are hundreds of people participating in the magic machine performance. If they can all understand the inscription, will they advance to the second round together?"
"No."
Venerable Great Ku shook his head and said: "These stone tablets were left by our senior masters in Luotian Mountain, and they contain profound and profound Buddhist teachings." , even a poor monk cannot fully understand it. Every time you understand it in front of the stone tablet, a ball of Buddha's light will appear on your head. Three balls of Buddha's light are small successes, seven balls of Buddha's light are great successes, and ten balls of Buddha's light are perfection. In the end, the top thirty will advance to the second round based on the number of Buddha’s lights.”
“That’s it.”
After hearing this, everyone nodded secretly.
The Venerable Great Suffering added at this time: "The difficulty of these inscriptions is different. Every time you climb a hillside, the difficulty of the inscriptions will double, so the number of Buddha's lights must also be doubled. For example, if you comprehend five clusters of Buddha's light on the second level, it is equivalent to your comprehending ten clusters of Buddha's light on the first level. Light, and so on."
"There is such a rule!"
Many people in the venue sighed, and someone shouted: "In other words, if you want to stand out, just Must understand the high-level stone monument as much as possible?"
"Yes"
Lord Da Ku nodded.
This truth is not difficult to understand. Even if the low-level stone tablets realize Dzogchen, they are not as good as the high-level stone tablets.
For example, if you realize two groups of Buddha’s light on the fourth level, it is equivalent to four groups on the third level, eight groups on the second level, and sixteen groups on the first level.
< br>So, if you want to pass the assessment, you must go to a high level to understand the stone tablet as much as possible.
"Okay, the poor monk has made the rules very clear. Please come to the mountain road to participate in the magic machine performance. The time limit is one stick of incense. After one stick of incense, no matter whether you have enlightenment or not, To get out of the Buddha’s light, you must leave the Buddha Peak.”
As soon as Venerable Da Ku finished speaking, many people took the initiative to step forward and walked to the mountain path of Futu Peak.
Liang Yan looked back at the people behind him and said calmly: "You guys can go too."
"Yes."
Li Xiran, Bai Qingruo, Cang Yueming The three of them bowed to him and then walked quickly towards the mountain road. Only Xiong Yuer'er walked slowly at the back.
"Xiao Yue'er." Liang Yan suddenly stopped her.
"Huh?"
Xiong Yuer'er didn't know why, turned around and looked at Liang Yan with doubtful eyes.
Liang Yandao: "Although it is not dangerous to understand the Buddha Dharma, your cultivation level is too low, and most of the inscriptions on this mountain are left by eminent monks who have achieved enlightenment. Once you find that you cannot understand the Dharma thoroughly, you must immediately Get out, don't hold on Stay in it, otherwise it will hurt your inner organs and shake the foundation of your soul!"
"Oh."
Xiong Yue'er listened to a lot of his words, but she seemed to understand. He nodded understandingly, not sure if he listened.
"This silly bear!"
Liang Yan knew her very well. Looking at her like this, he knew that she would not listen to him. He cursed secretly in his heart and thought: "I hope she won't be upset." Obsession, otherwise it will affect my future practice. If things go wrong later, I will take action to pull her down from Futu Peak even if I don’t care about this old face. "
I made up my mind. , Liang Yan said no more.
"Then Master, am I leaving?" Xiong Yue'er scratched his head.
"Go ahead." Liang Yan waved his sleeves and let her go.
"Yes."
Xiong Yue'er turned and left, and soon stood on the mountain path of Futu Peak like everyone else.
Her appearance immediately attracted the attention of many people.
“I read that right! Is that a bear spirit?”
“Can bears also comprehend Buddhism?”
"Wait a minute, she still seems to be in the Golden Core Realm haha, she is the Golden Core Realm that she just broke through!"
"Isn't this a joke? There are a total of 366 people participating in the magic machine performance, including three One hundred and sixty-five people are all above the Tongxuan realm, and she is the only one who is at the Golden Core realm."
"I think she is just wishful thinking!"
Everyone was talking about it, and it was obvious that they were all talking about it. I was amused by Xiong Yue'er.
Liang Yan naturally heard it, but he didn't take it to heart and didn't bother to care.
"Xiao Yue'er, just be yourself and don't care what others think." Liang Yan said secretly.
“Yes.”
Xiong Yuer’er nodded heavily.
She was actually a little panicked inside. Although she had followed Wu Xin over the years and had seen many big scenes, she had never stood in front of everyone and accepted those scrutinizing eyes like now.
"I am Master's disciple, I am Master's disciple, I am Master's disciple! Say important things three times! Xiong Yue'er, there are so many people watching here, you can't give anything to Master Shame on you!”
Thinking of this, Xiong Yue'er clenched his fists and pursed his lips, looking like he was working hard.
Although the other monks standing with her were also excited, most of them had calm faces, and some were even chatting and laughing, but she seemed out of place.
“Haha, the bear spirit is so cute.”
“Come on, you are the most outrageous bear I have ever seen!”
Slowly, the people in the crowd Some casual cultivators actually started to cheer Xiong Yuer up.
At this moment, Luo Tianshan's disciples brought up a sandalwood table. On the table was a small bronze cauldron, with a newly lit incense candle inserted in the cauldron.
"The first round of the divine machine performance officially begins now!" Although Venerable Fuhu's voice was not loud, everyone could hear it clearly.
Whoosh!
Almost instantly, everyone on the mountain path ran upwards, targeting those stone monuments.
Xiong Yue'er's reaction was a little slow. When she started climbing, someone had already arrived in front of the first row of stone monuments.
These people almost didn't look at it, they crossed the first level of the hillside and continued to climb higher.
Only when we reached the second hillside, a few monks stopped and studied carefully in front of the stone tablet, trying to understand the essence of Buddhism in it.
On the third floor, most people stopped.
It’s not that they don’t want to climb higher, but starting from this level, the Buddhist teachings on the stone tablets are already very profound and it takes a lot of time to understand them.
The time for meditating on Buddhism is limited. It is only a short stick of incense. If you waste too much time on high levels without gaining anything, then the remaining time may not be enough for you to meditate on low levels. In this way, the first round score will be Zero will definitely be eliminated.
So, most people choose to stay on the third level, intending to do their best to understand a stone tablet first, so that at least they have a guarantee, and if they have enough time, they can challenge to a higher level.
At this time, Xiong Yue'er also realized that time was running out and he could not tolerate his slow temper. He immediately took a big step and climbed up the mountain path, and soon arrived in front of the first layer of stone tablets.
She did not continue to climb up, but took a general glance at the stone tablets on this level, quickly selected one of them, sat down quietly, and began to comprehend the Buddhist teachings contained in the inscriptions.
This move also made everyone present laugh and cry.
"Stopped at the first level? It seems that this bear spirit is rushing to the bottom!"
"Otherwise? She is just a little demon in the Jindan realm, do you still have your hopes in her? Hope?”
“Yes! Xiong Gui knows himself. Zhi Ming, it seems that this bear spirit is not stupid at all!”
“Haha! Why does such a serious scene make me feel like laughing?”
Everyone was talking. Liang Yan's expression was calm, without any fluctuation.
Wuxin stretched out his hand and pinched his arm, and said secretly: "These people all look down on our Yue'er."
"It doesn't matter."
Liang Yan said through the message: "Silly. Xiong has nine orifices, and her achievements in the future will not be low. This time, let her have some experience. Many setbacks can temper her character. "
"Humph, you are a master who can keep your composure!"
Wuxin rolled her eyes at him, then turned to Futu Peak. Looking at Xiong Yue'er who was trying hard to understand in front of the stone tablet, there was a look of concern in his eyes.
In fact, the original reason why she took in Xiong Yuer'er and guided Xiong Yuer's practice was Liang Yan.
At that time, Liang Yan was still in Nanchui and was besieged by the ancestors of the three major sects. Xiong Yuer used her talents to rescue Liang Yan together with Wu Xin. Later, Liang Yan crossed the sea and Xiong Yuer followed Wu Xin, thinking that she was The teacher's wife looked at him, and a deep feeling gradually developed between the two.
In a sense, Wuxin already treats her as his own daughter.
"Xiaoyue'er, you must not have your heart damaged. If this happens, I will blind the eyes of those who have laughed at you and dig out their tongues so that they can no longer speak out. Sound!”
Thinking of this, Wu Xin glanced at the crowd and secretly remembered the faces of those who made taunts.
"Huh?"
Among the crowd, many monks felt a chill running down their spines. They were laughing a moment ago and then fell silent the next moment.
"Fellow Taoist, what's wrong with you?" someone next to him asked.
"It's nothing, just a little scared. I don't know why."
"Hey, have you been too depressed recently? Don't worry, although the entire Antarctic Continent is shrouded in blood In the evil formation, but this is Luotian Mountain, the golden light of Buddhism can naturally restrain the evil spirit of blood, so there is no need to worry here. ”
"Yeah, that's right." The man from before nodded, not doubting that he was there.
Seemingly sensing the unintentional murderous intention, the crowd was temporarily quiet.
But this silence only lasted for a short moment, and soon commotion broke out again.
“Look!”
I don’t know who shouted, and everyone’s eyes were attracted.
On the first level of the hillside, a ray of Buddha's light gradually condensed, and then turned into a golden cloud the size of a fist, floating above Xiong Yuer's head!
"Can't do it? Did she realize it so quickly?"
"Really or not?"
The sound of discussion came from the foot of the mountain again.
You know, only three breaths have passed since Xiong Yue'er sat down until now, and the Buddha's light actually appeared above his head.
Looking around, out of the hundreds of monks in the entire Pagoda Peak, no more than twenty have realized the Buddha's light.
But it’s not over yet. It’s like fireworks exploding above Xiong Yuer’s head. Balls of Buddha’s light emerged one after another. After a moment, ten balls of Buddha’s light were suspended above her head at the same time, like ten auspicious clouds, faintly visible. Hear the sound of Buddhist chants.
"Ten groups of Buddha's light, Dzogchen! She actually realized the realm of Dzogchen!"
"Impossible! This is the stone tablet left by the eminent monk of Luotian Mountain. How can a mere bear spirit do it? Enlightenment?”
“And it’s too fast. If you look at other people, most of them can only realize three groups of Buddha’s light, and most of them only have one group.”
Many people at the foot of the mountain had expressions of disbelief, but there were also a few who were thoughtful, looking over and over at Xiong Yue'er, as if they wanted to discover something.
Even the attention of the four Venerables Da Ku, Xuan Ye, Fu Hu, and Fu Hai was attracted, and their eyes all fell on Xiong Yue'er.
"What a bear spirit. I didn't expect that monsters and monsters also have the seeds of Buddhism." Venerable Xuanye nodded slightly.
"Haha, all living beings and all appearances in the world are treated equally by our Buddhist sect. You must not be arrogant, otherwise you will fall into the lower realms." Venerable Great Suffering said slowly.
"Senior brother taught you a lesson."
The other three venerables all clasped their hands together and bowed their heads in response.
At this moment, Xiong Yue'er stood up from the stone tablet.
Almost everyone's eyes were turned to her. The bear spirit paused for a moment, then took steps towards a higher level with firm eyes.
"It must be a fluke, right? After all, she understood the first layer of stone tablets. Some of the Buddhist teachings on it may be relatively simple, and she took advantage of it." Someone whispered.
"If this is possible, it depends on how many Buddha's lights she can comprehend in the second layer of stone tablets."
There were whispers at the foot of the mountain, but Xiong Yue'er seemed not to have heard them.
She reached the second floor, glanced at the stone tablet, and did not choose to stay. Instead, she took steps and continued walking upward.
