Chapter 398 Jin Chanzi’s gift before his death

Chapter 398 Jin Chanzi’s gift before his death

Shen Lian instinctively wanted to escape, but the situation was really weird and inexplicable.

But at the same time, he realized that the truth about the collapse of the world here was right in front of him, and Tathagata Buddha definitely knew what Jin Chanzi was doing.

While he hesitated, Tathagata Buddha coughed violently.

"Cough cough cough..."

The skin bag actually cracked inch by inch, but the cracks healed in a short time, and it could be seen that Tathagata Buddha was riddled with holes.

Shen Lian noticed that Patriarch Bodhi also showed signs of becoming possessed.

The two are almost synchronized, and Patriarch Bodhi is even more serious, as if he is helping Tathagata Buddha withstand unknown erosion.

Patriarch Bodhi seemed to see the doubts in Shen Lian's heart and explained: "The Three Realms are on the verge of collapse. Once the Tathagata Buddha dies and his path disappears, the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss will collapse."

"Master, you..."

"I came to the Paradise to delay the death of Tathagata Buddha as much as possible."

Patriarch Bodhi was very free and easy, and his behavior was not crazy. He did not care at all that he would die with Tathagata Buddha.

Shen Lian's expression was subtle and he didn't know how to answer the question.

He had determined that the two of them had no ill intentions, and bringing him here was probably related to Jin Chanzi, whom he had never met before.

Shen Lian asked what he had always doubted.

"Tathagata Buddha, how did the calamity of heaven and earth occur?"

"Heaven and earth calamity once every 129,600 years. In fact, it has never stopped. It's just that Lingshan and Heaven turned a blind eye before."

Tathagata Buddha's facial features were squeezed together, and he sighed and said: "Everyone knows that the scriptures that cause the calamity of heaven and earth will get out of control at any time, but the immortal Buddha has no choice but to ignore the calamity."

"Until more than a thousand years ago, the last calamity of heaven and earth occurred."

With the help of Tathagata Buddha's description, Shen Lian seemed to see the scene of the fall of the Three Realms. Including the Three Pure Ones and the Third Buddha, they had long forgotten the existence of the source of calamity in the world.

"Shen Lian, you are the Buddhist monk appointed by Jin Chanzi. Come and meet me."

Tathagata Buddha exhaled a breath of fresh air.

"The rumored... true scripture that shrouds the Three Realms in endless shadow!!!"

The clear air rose into the sky and broke through the clouds in an instant. Shen Lian subconsciously raised his head, and then an indescribable scene came into view.

"Hmm."

Shen Lian beat four times and stagnated for two or three breaths, and the shock caused his energy and blood to flow backwards.

Behind the clouds, he saw eyes that were as numerous as stars, each one as big as the moon, which made his hair stand on end.

Shen Lian looked at the pupils and found that the pupils came from giant insects.

Each giant insect can span thousands of miles and is eager to get closer to the Elysium. Its sharp mouthparts are constantly chewing on the cover.

A thin layer of Buddha's light blocks giant insects from invading the three realms.

The Buddha's light may not be able to persist for a long time, because the body, soul and breath of the third generation Buddha who is responsible for maintaining the Buddha's light are slowly passing away.

"There are all types of scriptures, including larvae, ephemera, centipedes, and worms."

As soon as Shen Lian had the thought of devouring it, his Mana consciousness almost lost contact, which proved that his current strength was equivalent to death in the face of the true scripture.

He stretched out his palm, wanting to touch the scripture that was within reach.

"Tathagata Buddha, Master, Golden Chanzi is going to the West to collect scriptures, are you going to...up there?"

"Well, that's outside the territory."

Ancestor Bodhi threw out a scroll of portraits. The golden cicada on it was lifelike, but his expression was full of sadness.

Tathagata Buddha sighed deeply, "Two thousand years ago, Lingbao Tianzun discovered that there was a palm-sized hole in the outer sky."

"Perhaps compared to the size of the scripture, the holes are not worth mentioning, but the influence from the scripture has indeed spread in the three realms."

The first is the spiritual root of heaven and earth, as the spiritual root that lives with heaven and earth.

It actually started to wither.

Immortals and Buddhas didn't know what it meant, so Sanqing came forward to try to remedy the situation, but to no avail. Then, after a hundred years of withering, the spiritual roots of heaven and earth came back to life without any competition.

Shen Lian said presciently: "The spiritual energy is exhausted?"

"Yeah."

"To be precise, the spiritual roots of heaven and earth are transforming the three realms and becoming more suitable for the coming of the scripture. At this time, the hole has expanded to half a meter."

Shen Lian thought of the legend about Nuwa patching up the sky. Are all disasters outside the territory?

Tathagata Buddha stared at the portrait and said, "When the hole can be opened to people, the immortals and Buddhas realized that the coming of the scriptures cannot be stopped."

"Subsequently, Jin Chanzi proposed at the meditation meeting that he would go outside the territory to observe the celestial phenomena and understand the Mahayana Buddhism to save all sentient beings in the three realms."

Shen Lian was silent. What Jin Chanzi did was actually right.

The three realms are all adapting to the way of heaven. If the immortals and Buddhas do not adapt in advance, they will become food for insects after the scripture comes.

"No one knows what Jin Chanzi's experience was outside the territory. They only know that he returned to Paradise after half a year, and his eyes had been gouged out by himself."

"The golden cicada carries twelve volumes of scriptures obtained by contemplating the true scriptures."

Patriarch Bodhi couldn't help but tremble when he heard the twelve volumes of sutras. That was the beginning of chaos in the three realms, reducing the way of heaven to a source of decoration.

If you look carefully, you can see that the pupils are made of insects.

That's right.

The true scripture is outside the Paradise, as if you can reach out and touch it.

Just by staring, Shen Lian felt a chilling illusion. Countless eyes flashed with strange light, assessing the situation for himself.

Tathagata Buddha murmured: "This is outside the territory."

Patriarch Bodhi explained: "The true scripture has existed for hundreds of millions of years, and the first calamity measured by heaven and earth in the three realms was due to their intervention."

"The calamity of heaven and earth is a periodic catastrophe in the three realms. It is an inevitable phenomenon in the movement of heaven. It means the end of an old era."

"The advent of the true scriptures should have ushered in a new era, but they were blocked, causing the three realms to experience catastrophes again and again."

Patriarch Bodhi looked bitter as he recalled his experience at the Fruit Appreciation and Tasting Conference at Wuzhuang.

At that time, he took advantage of the opportunity of creating his own scripture and looked up. The first thing he saw was the riddled heaven, and the second thing he saw was the scripture.

The drastic changes in the way of heaven turned out to be just due to an extra hole in the paradise world.

So what if you understand the scripture yourself, you won't be able to fight against it, and it will even accelerate the collapse of the barrier of Paradise.

Patriarch Bodhi went completely crazy at that time, so he chose to give up the scriptures.

After a thousand years of confusion, if he had not met Shen Lian again, perhaps Patriarch Bodhi would not have gone to the Paradise of Paradise, but would have passed away on his own.

"So, where is the hole leading to the outside world?"

As soon as Shen Lian finished speaking, the Buddha's light emanating from Tathagata's body stopped, and suddenly the swarm of insects outside the territory began to move.

A rustling sound sounded.

Just above Shen Lian's head, there was a gap where the Buddha's light had previously shone concentratedly.

Some worms crawled into the gap to eat the spiritual shield that protected the three realms, and other giant insects followed closely, trying to make the gap pass through them.

Shen Lian noticed that the Sutra has the characteristic of swallowing everything.

As they continued to gnaw, a large amount of scriptures surged through their bodies, and in the blink of an eye, new giant worms emerged one after another.

The scripture has the ability to reproduce infinitely, representing an infinite number.

Shen Lian's eyes were blank. No matter how the Mana consciousness deduced, he could only come to the conclusion that there was a dead end, and deep despair surged into his heart. Presumably Jin Chanzi was like this when he was alive, and he knew that taking the true scripture would not help either.

Shen Lian finally knew the truth about this world and fell into deep confusion, not knowing what the relationship between Jin Chanzi and himself was.

"Master, why does Jin Chanzi recognize me?"

Patriarch Bodhi was silent, and Tathagata Buddha said solemnly: "Because he has seen you in the outside world, and the wisp of soul wandering among the scriptures is also the golden cicada that leads you into reincarnation."

At this time, the Paradise of Paradise has not been protected by Tathagata Buddha for a long time, and the ground shook.

Maitreya Buddha and the Ancient Buddha of Ran Deng spontaneously rioted, and the Buddha's light burst into the sky. They had no intention of preventing the collapse of the hole, but instead promoted the arrival of the true scripture.

It can be seen that Patriarch Bodhi is right, the three generations of Buddhas do not have the same stance.

The Tathagata Buddha mainly resists the advent of the scriptures. Maitreya Buddha and the Randen Ancient Buddha hope to reshape the order of the three realms after refining the scriptures.

Shen Lian frowned slightly and watched Tathagata Buddha sealing the hole again.

After a lot of twists and turns, Tathagata Buddha's condition became increasingly unstable, and it would probably take less than a thousand years for him to be completely reduced to a withered skeleton.

Shen Lian no longer hesitated, many questions could only be answered by Tathagata Buddha.

"Tathagata Buddha, where is your body born from the old shell?"

"Detached."

Tathagata Buddha's answer was extremely simple, and his eyes became profound, "Like the three pure beings, they all transcend the three realms and ascend to... the upper realm."

There was an obvious pause when he mentioned the upper realm.

Shen Lian had heard before that after the destruction of the old heaven, the Three Pure Ones created the upper realm, but the swarms of insects overwhelmed the village, so where could the great supernatural power bypass the true scriptures.

He was just about to continue asking, but he heard Tathagata Buddha say: "Shen Lian, there is no time left for the three realms, go ahead."

"Where to go?"

Shen Lian was confused, and then there was a relic in his hand.

Tathagata Buddha murmured: "Go, no matter how many years we can hold on, we will definitely tell you before we die. Just listen to fate and do your best."

The relic turned into golden light and penetrated into Shen Lian's middle Dantian.

The eighth-level pregnancy magical power digests extremely quickly, and it has merged into the banyan tree in the blink of an eye.

With the help of the relics, Shen Lian obtained the teleportation tree that traveled between the Paradise World and the mortal world, but he still didn't understand why Tathagata Buddha urged him.

Rumble.

The Buddha's light suddenly appeared in the distance, and the Tathagata Buddha gave up the protection of the hole, making many Buddhas think that the Tathagata Buddha was at the end of his battle.

In order to obtain the true scriptures of martial arts, they took the initiative to test Tathagata Buddha.

Shen Lian glanced at the two of them, turned around and escaped into the mortal world.

………

Changes in the mortal world are not apparent.

After Shen Lian returned to the mortal world, he found that the borders of the Tang Dynasty had expanded several times, and the towns and villages were all filled with warriors with strong blood.

When he came to Yanliang Town, he expected to be extremely impressed.

As a result, there is no familiar figure in Yanliang Town after hundreds of years. Even if the old city wall is still preserved, it is meaningless.

"After I died in my previous life, my remaining soul accidentally drifted outside the realm of this world."

"For what reason did Jin Chanzi take me back to work?"

Shen Lian walked aimlessly in the mortal world, while exploring the cultivation of the heavenly realm, but his own system was completely different.

Eighty percent of the methods of immortals and Buddhas are useless, and we can only explore them bit by bit.

Shen Lian put aside the calamities of heaven and earth for the time being and pondered Jin Chanzi's actions a thousand years ago. Unknowingly, a hundred years passed by in a blink of an eye.

When he returned to God, he followed his instinctive tendency and came to Guanyin Temple.

Guanyin Temple is also the place where Jin Chanzi is known to have last appeared.

Shen Lian stepped into the Guanyin Zen Monastery alone. The inside was still as it was before, and the mad wailing of Guanyin Bodhisattva echoed in the cave.

Not seen for a long time, Guanyin Bodhisattva has fallen again in his path.

Only about 50,000 years left.

Shen Lian ducked into the temple, but as soon as he entered the temple, he felt a strong sense of resentment, mixed with the chanting of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"If there are countless hundreds of thousands of billions of living beings who are suffering from various sufferings and hear the name of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, and recite its name with one heart, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva will immediately listen to its sound and they will all be liberated..."

"Huh?"

Shen Lian opened his eyes. There was no trace of resentment on the spiritual platform where Guanyin Bodhisattva was sitting cross-legged. A lifeless skeleton was sitting on it with his hands clasped together.

Guanyin Bodhisattva seems to be waiting for his second arrival, and at this time, the oil is exhausted.

Shen Lian picked up the cassock and suddenly noticed a slight change in the Arhat Fist engraved on the back. On the surface, it did not affect his practice, but it would cause certain distortions in the blood vessels and meridians.

After a little deduction, he learned about an immortal method that created a cave.

"I see, the Nine-Nine Eighty-One Dilemma is the resource you left for me."

boom!

Shen Lian transformed into a four-thousand-meter-long true body, opened his mouth and swallowed it, and the Guanyin Temple sank into his mouth, and soon merged with the immortal apertures around him.

The cultivation level of Celestial Immortal Realm then showed a slight improvement.

Guanyin Zen Temple maintains a cave in the body, interconnected with the organs, and at the same time makes the small world inside the body become more and more real.

Shen Lian went to the next cave and found that all the caves were written by Jin Chanzi.

Jin Chanzi used her own flesh and blood to create the Nine-Nine-Eighty-One Difficulties, and later allowed Guanyin Bodhisattva to resurrect many unparalleled demons.

Shen Lian swallowed as he walked, and his cultivation level also improved.

When the caves of Nine Nine and Eighty-one Difficulties are reunited in the body, they have reached the perfection of heavenly beings, and the small world has become lifelike.

In particular, the Zimu River and the Fountain Spring in the Daughter Kingdom make the small world begin to take shape.

Jin Chanzi's every move was to peel off the unaffected parts of the Westward Journey world that was about to collapse, and wait for Shen Lian to be incorporated into his body a thousand years later.

After completing everything, Shen Lian came to the sky above Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty.

"Take it!"

After drinking lowly, the entire Tang Dynasty suddenly rose from the ground.

Before the mortals could react, they had already appeared in the small world. The world seemed unchanged, but it seemed completely different.

At the last stop, Shen Lian came to the ruins of the old heaven, uprooted the mutated peach tree and put it into the small world, passing by the ghost market Babu.

The eight parts of the ghost market are without exception, and they build a new heaven in the small world.

The flow of time in the small world has quietly accelerated a hundred times, and the counterattacks from mortal warriors are constantly pushing Shen Lian towards Daluo Jinxian.

Two hundred years have passed by like a fleeting moment.

Shen Lian came to the Paradise of Paradise again, and the area within a hundred miles of Tathagata Buddha was already extremely lively.

Hundreds of Buddhas from all walks of life surround the Tathagata Buddha, and Maitreya Buddha and the Ancient Buddha of Lanterns are also always preparing to be born.

Many Buddhas did not notice Shen Lian at all.

Shen Lian passed by the mortal world, his breath as weak as an ant's.

He sat with his back to Tathagata Buddha, took out the ghost gourd and poured a cup for Patriarch Bodhi, laughing and talking about the dense insects around him.
