Chapter 236 Shocked! The same examinee turned out to be the one who wrote the test paper [over 5,000 words]
“The sound of the scriptures in the Ancestral Stele Forest will not only increase in intensity as fewer people bear the burden, but will also continue to increase in intensity over time.”
In the audience, Zen Master Yishen gave the lecture.
The Zen Master San Kong who was standing beside him also echoed, "The first vision is the scriptures of past lives, and the second vision is the Supreme Thunder Sound. When I participated in the event, I was fortunate enough to hear that Supreme Thunder Sound. It was like a revelation, and I will never forget it for the rest of my life."
Monk Shenmu asked, "What is that thunder sound...only one sound?"
"..." Zen Master San Kong was silent for a moment, and then said: "Because I fainted after hearing just one sound."
"Haha, it is a blessing for Buddhist disciples to be able to hear the Supreme Thunder Sound." Master Yishen said calmly: "I was not very good at participating in that session. Before the picture of the kingdom of heaven appeared, I had already won the first place. Alas, it is a great regret in this life."
Shenmu glanced at the master uncle and thought, if you want to show off, can't you just be more open?
Zen Master San Kong added: "It is said that there is a higher heavenly scene above the Supreme Thunder Sound. It can see the illusion of the Buddha's kingdom thousands of years ago. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to see it."
Zen Master Yi Shen sighed slightly: "It can be encountered but not sought after."
"Is it not possible to ask for it?"
Monk Shenmu looked at Li Chu, who was sitting in a forest of steles with his eyes open and deep in thought, and felt that... it was not difficult.
Although he seems honest and straightforward, he actually knows the world well. He has a pair of sharp eyes since he was young, and there are few people he can't see through, until he met Li Chu.
It felt like... God had drawn a curtain before his eyes.
This was a person he could never see through.
So towards such a person, Shenmu always holds the attitude that everything is possible, especially as proven by some previous contacts.
There is nothing he can't do, only what you can't think of...
…
Li Chu found that he really couldn't do it.
He tried very hard to listen, but he couldn't hear any scriptures around him. He couldn't help wondering, could it be that the remaining memories in the ancestral stele forest could also judge who was sincerely worshipping Buddha? Or could it simply see through that he was a Taoist priest?
There is a traitor, stop chanting?
This is too much...
Looking at the contestants around him all wearing masks of pain, there were only two or three who could remain calm, among them was the second prince of the Eternal City from the Western Regions.
It seems that Brother Ye Leng'er, the king, does have something.
As time passed, more than a dozen contestants gradually left the stage. The pressure on the remaining contestants became greater and greater, and Li Chu's pressure also became greater and greater...
He didn't know whether he should continue to pretend that he heard the scriptures and blend in, or whether he should admit the fact that he couldn't hear the scriptures and ask honestly.
After thinking about it, he decided to maintain the status quo.
If you can't hear it, then you can't hear it. Anyway, the rule of this round of competition is to see who can stay until the end. I didn't actively cause the bug, so there is no need to be anxious.
Thinking of this, he simply closed his eyes and entered a state of meditation.
The difficulty of this round of competition was indeed unexpected.
Before entering this forest of steles, he could never have imagined that the biggest enemy he would face would be... boredom.
but.
I'm used to it.
This reminded Li Chu of his youthful years on campus. Every time he took an exam, when he finished answering a test paper, there was often still a long time before the time allowed to hand it in.
At that time, he usually chose to sleep quietly to avoid making any noise and causing psychological pressure to his classmates whose grades were between one hundred and six hundred points lower than his.
Then……
In this familiar state.
He fell asleep skillfully.
In his dream, he vaguely heard a loud thunder...
…
"Supreme Thunder Sound!"
When an hour had passed in the second round of competition and there were less than ten people left in the field, Zen Master Faqing finally showed some excitement.
Behind him, Zen Master Fashan, who had arrived at some point in time, also stroked his beard and smiled.
"When the Supreme Thunder Sound appeared, there were still so many people left. This result is much better than in previous years." The abbot of the White Dragon Temple nodded slightly, "The only flaw is... why is that Taoist still here?"
"This... is also a bit strange." Zen Master Faqing also said with some doubt: "He was already in an unstable state at the beginning and began to move, but as the power of the scriptures gradually increased, he became more and more stable. Especially now... even his breathing has become more even..."
"Maybe it's because we are far away, so I can't hear it clearly. Why do I feel like... he is snoring?" Master Fashan's eyebrows twitched and a hint of disbelief flashed in his eyes.
"Impossible?" Zen Master Faqing exclaimed, "How could he snore when he looks like this?"
"?"
Master Fashan looked back at him quietly and said, "Do you mean that I should snore because of my appearance?"
"No..." Master Faqing quickly reorganized his words and said, "He was in the ancestral stele forest, with scriptures ringing in his ears. How could he have fallen asleep peacefully? It's more likely that he fainted."
"Yes, absolutely impossible."
Zen Master Fashan also shook his head firmly, as if he was a passerby who had seen someone flying into the sky with a sword and was gritting his teeth and telling himself to believe in science.
but……
Seeing the other contestants' expressions fluctuating violently, the confusion between his brows grew more intense.
"I also felt the supreme thunder sound in the past. When the thunder sound pierced my ears, I felt that my internal organs and the blood and energy in my body were trembling, as if I would explode and die in the next moment. I couldn't hold on for less than an incense stick, and I almost vomited blood and was seriously injured. This is really the most dangerous pass in the Ancestral Stele Forest."
Zen Master Faqing also muttered something to strengthen his faith.
…
"Is he sleeping?"
Compared with Zen Master Fashan who was nearby, the two monks, one old and one young, on the peak of Hongdu Mountain saw and heard more clearly.
"hiss……"
The old monk took a deep breath of the thin, natural cool air at the top of the peak.
I thought to myself how terrifying this was.
Then he added: "This boy is extraordinary."
After three times, he closed his mouth contentedly and looked at his master.
The young monk nodded. "It's really extraordinary. I think it's impossible for him to fall asleep. Maybe he just uses this posture to show how easy it is to resist the attack of thunder. Young people always have a desire to show off."
Although Li Chu is indeed a young man, it is still a bit strange to hear such words coming from a child who looks only seven or eight years old...
Of course, the old monk would not find it strange. He had followed the young monk for a hundred years and knew very well what level of old monster his master was.
Among the human race today, there are no more than three old monsters of the same generation as Master, whether they are openly or covertly added together.
There is a good chance that there will be only two left.
But as for the third person... no one dares to say whether he is alive or dead.
After some thought, the little monk said, "At least when I was his age, I couldn't do such a thing."
What he said was obviously not about the future...
"Perhaps it is the reincarnation of some great being?" the old monk guessed.
"It's possible." The little monk pondered for a moment and shrugged again, "I can't guess whose reincarnation it might be, but it doesn't matter. Having such a newcomer is a blessing for Buddhism after all."
"Uh..." The old monk had no choice but to tell the news that his disciple had told him before.
"This kid...may...should...be a Taoist priest."
"Taoist priest?"
The little monk's pupils lit up.
The old monk's eyebrows also twitched.
You know, many old-school people still have a strong sense of the difference between Buddhism and Taoism in their hearts. Especially for people like Master, when he was young, bloodshed would occasionally occur between Buddhism and Taoism.
"Is he here to cause trouble?" the little monk guessed with narrowed eyes.
"This... is unknown."
"Let's eliminate him just in case." The little monk thought for a while and said, "If he finally gets the Buddha's fate and shows off his Taoist robes, our White Dragon Temple will lose face."
"Master, you want to take action? This... isn't good, right?" The old monk hesitated.
"What are you worried about?" The little monk glanced at him and said indifferently, "I'm not going to hit him. I'm just going to make the scriptures around him stronger several times...no one will know..."
The old monk didn't dare to say anything.
Although the young monk said it casually, he knew that he could not do it at all. It was because the young monk's cultivation had surpassed the many ancestors who had left their marks in the ancestral stele forest that he had this power, which was enough to affect the strength of the memories. In the freehand painting, it was actually a supreme magic power.
After saying this, the little monk secretly made finger gestures and chanted something.
It was also at this moment.
Li Chu heard the first sound of thunder in his ears.
…
He slowly opened his eyes.
I found myself in a different place. I was no longer in the ancestral stele forest, but in a wasteland. There were gullies and ravines all over the dark and hard wasteland.
There were countless huge scratches and claw marks on the ground, as if mountain-sized weapons and terrifying beasts had fought here, but they were no longer visible.
In front of him, there were only three people with strange clothes... bald heads.
Are they monks? The reason why they are said to be dressed strangely is that the robes these three people are wearing are similar to monk robes, but the material is very special, as if they are woven from strands of glittering silk threads, unprecedented and extremely eye-catching.
Among these three people, two are old and one is a young man.
"Is it fate? Is it fate that has come? Have we done it?"
Seeing Li Chu's figure appear, before he could make any move, the young man's eyes widened as if he was overjoyed.
but……
Soon, an old man with a compassionate look on his face said, "It is a destiny of the immortals, but it seems... it is a destiny of the immortals 20,000 years later."
"What do you mean?" the young man was stunned.
"Just now, we used the last of our supreme magic power to try to attract the immortals and rebuild the human world. We were just a hair's breadth away... we should have failed... but at the critical moment, a little extra magic power was injected to help us achieve it... but that magic power came from the body of the future."
The compassionate old man shook his head and said: "This immortal fate does not belong to this era."
"Then... is there no hope in this world?" The young man collapsed to the ground dejectedly.
"Haha." At this time, the happy old man who had been silent all this time laughed twice, "There is no hope for you and me, but there is great hope for the human world."
"Oh?" The young man looked at him.
"If the human world is hopeless, then where does the trace of great magic power come from 20,000 years later? Where does this immortal fate come from? It is clear that the act of recreating the human world has been accomplished... The future human world must be a glorious and prosperous era!"
"Really? Haha." The young monk laughed.
But there is always a hint of sadness in the laughter.
Li Chu watched them talk and move calmly without moving.
Because he had no way of being sure whether what he saw was real or an illusion...it was also possible that it was a dream.
He was worried that if he moved here, he would actually be moving in the ancestral stele forest.
It might be like the previous contestants...
Very embarrassing.
To put it bluntly, he just lacks experience in dealing with illusions.
This is really helpless.
Previously, he had thought that with his constantly upgraded spirit, it would be very difficult for him to be deceived by illusions. But now it seems that there are always people better than you, and you should not be arrogant.
As he was thinking, before the three people over there came over to talk to him, he saw the sky suddenly darken.
The originally meager sunlight disappeared in an instant.
An instant of darkness?
Li Chu was surprised and looked up.
I saw the pitch-black sky, which seemed to have feather-like patterns. That was not the sky, it was clearly... a wing!
Looking up into the distance again, he saw a pair of unimaginable giant claws.
"It's coming..."
“Here it comes!”
The three monks over there also exclaimed.
Was it actually a giant bird that covered the entire sky? Li Chu was extremely surprised. He had only heard of such a terrifying giant in myths and legends. When it really appeared before his eyes, the shock was unimaginable.
The largest creature he had ever seen was probably the shy fish in the East China Sea, but compared to this bird, it was nothing. If it flapped its wings, the entire East China Sea would not be able to contain it.
In fear, he subconsciously reached behind him and actually touched the hilt of the sword.
He did not carry a sword when he attended the Buddhist meeting this time, but for some reason, the Pure Yang Sword appeared on his back.
Is it really an illusion?
The thought flashed through my mind.
Immediately afterwards, a terrible pressure descended.
This big bird...
It's about to land...
boom--
Just a slight vibration of one wing caused a huge force to surge on the ground. This was a world-destroying beast! If it really fell, it would be no different from the sky collapsing and the earth collapsing.
have no choice.
Li Chu drew out the Chunyang Sword without hesitation. Even if it was an illusion, he had to cut it off with the sword.
After reaching level 78, he still hadn't tried to use his sword at full strength, as he was always worried about destroying something else.
At this moment, in this special place, there is no need to worry.
The sword rises and the sword falls.
Use all your strength to strike with the sword.
But what was swung out was not a streak of sword energy, but a ray of sun.
The three monks in front of him were suddenly illuminated. They opened their mouths at the same time and whispered:
“It’s so dazzling.”
…
"puff."
A mouthful of hot blood surged up, and Ye Shuo gritted his teeth and swallowed it back.
The rumbling thunder in my ears has lasted for a long time, as if it was going to smash my entire internal organs.
He had done much more preparation than the others. He knew that during the session of listening to the sutras in the Ancestral Stele Forest, the "Scriptures of Past Generations" were the easiest to fall into illusions, and the "Supreme Thunder Sound" was the most overbearing and dangerous... but as long as he could get through it, he would be able to come into contact with the most mysterious "Heavenly Scene".
By then, I will become the most dazzling new star in Buddhism.
You know, people who can hold on until the heavenly scene appears have been rare for a hundred years. Even if you don't participate in the next round, you may not have no chance to get the Tenghe Sutra.
All he needs to do now is to persevere.
Persevere!
Grit your teeth and hold on!
But at this moment, there were faint snoring sounds coming from behind.
Even under tremendous pressure, he couldn't help but look back.
I saw the handsome young man in blue sitting cross-legged in meditation, as if in a trance, breathing evenly...
grass.
Ye Shuo almost vomited blood.
This fucking...
Is this a foul? The food I ate last night was almost pressed out from somewhere behind my lower body in a smelly form. You actually slept here? Fortunately, his mentality was still tough, and he forcibly stabilized this wave of impact.
But apart from the two of them, the third person left on the field also saw this scene.
"puff--"
A stream of blood spurted out——
One person was lost instantly.
Suddenly, only the Second Prince of the Bulao City and Li Chu were left on the field.
At the same time, Ye Shuo was surprised to find that the roaring thunder in his ears... had disappeared.
The prosperity above the head fell, and the divine light enveloped it.
The picture of heaven!
His heart began to beat wildly.
According to legend, the picture of heaven is a remnant of twelve inscriptions from the West. It is not certain what can be seen, but it is all the scene of the Buddhist kingdom at least ten thousand years ago.
Every little bit is the law of fate.
If someone has a great opportunity, he might be able to comprehend a secret method from it.
Then……
He saw a scorched earth.
What is this? Where is the Buddha Kingdom?
Ye Shuo was at a loss for a moment.
Then, three monks appeared from the scorched earth, and in front of the three monks, sat a young man with a sword on his back.
etc?
Why does this person look so familiar? Ye Shuo stared at the man with wide eyes. It was obviously...
Before he could shout out, an overwhelming pressure descended upon him. Looking up, he found that it was not night anymore, but a super-giant being was spreading its wings in the sky.
Very bad!
As soon as these words popped up in Ye Shuo's mind, he didn't expect that he would see an even more terrifying scene in the next second.
Compared with the giant bird, the few human figures on the ground were as small as reptiles.
But when the reptilian boy drew his sword and swung it, he actually...cut out a rainbow light as dazzling as the sun!
The rainbow light pierced the sky in an instant!
boom--
The giant bird was pierced by this round of rising rainbow light. At first, it might be just a small point, but soon, like a piece of paper burned by an incense stick, a red circle spread out in an instant, forming a huge hole. It seemed that the whole wing was about to be swept away! Even... its whole body was about to be cut off! "Roar——"
The giant bird let out a mournful howl. Given its size, even a groan would have been earth-shaking, let alone the mournful cry at this moment.
As the rolling sound waves hit, Ye Shuo couldn't help but tremble all over and jumped up in shock!
When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to the ancestral stele forest.
"well--"
He seemed to hear a sigh coming from somewhere.
When he turned around, Li Chu was still sitting upright on the ground.
But Ye Shuo's eyes when he looked at him had completely changed. There was no hostility anymore, but complete horror.
That kind of shock is like...
I found out that the candidate in the same examination room turned out to be the one who set the examination papers.
horrible.
At this moment, Ye Shuo had only one thought in his mind.
His people are everywhere in the picture of the kingdom of heaven.
What can I use to fight him?
Ah, I found that I need to plan my time well. I sit in front of the computer at 3 or 4 o'clock every day, ready to work hard. Then I do this and that, and before I know it, time has passed. I only typed 5,000 words by 12 o'clock. This has been the case for the past two days. I have to change it.
