Chapter 327 Scripture
Jingxuan suddenly froze, staring at the Spark Sword with his eyes fixed, his expression changing from one to another.
Then, he quickly raised his head, stared at Fang Zhixing deeply, and asked in surprise: "This is the Spark Sword, why is it in your hand?"
Fang Zhixing did not answer but asked: "Master, may I ask, who should have this sword?"
Jingxuan also did not answer, with a vigilant expression, and asked again: "How did you get the Spark Sword?"
Fang Zhixing couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
It seems that Jingxuan will not release the eagle until he sees the rabbit.
He calmly replied, "To be honest, Master, I defeated the Undead Evil Phoenix and snatched this Spark Sword from him."
"oh……"
Jing Xuan looked enlightened and said in silence, "The Spark Sword was once the most precious treasure of our temple. Later, when King Chi Ming got married, I was invited to attend. I gave this sword to King Chi Ming as a gift."
"Oh, King Chi Ming!"
Fang Zhixing remained calm, but his heart was in turmoil. He asked carefully, "How did King Chi Ming deal with the Spark Sword? Did he use it himself or give it to someone else?"
Jing Xuan spread his hands and said with a smile: "This is beyond the knowledge of this old monk. You must ask King Chi Ming himself."
Fang Zhixing understood and asked, "Master, what do you think I should do with this level 5 sword?"
Jing Xuan laughed and said, "This sword is your trophy, so of course I will do whatever you want with it."
Fang Zhixing thought for a moment and asked, "Does Jihuo Temple want to reclaim this sword? I am willing to give it away for free and return it to its original owner."
Jing Xuan's expression became solemn, and he waved his hand and said, "No merit, no reward. After all, this is a valuable treasure..."
Fang Zhixing saw this and said thoughtfully, "This junior has committed many sins of killing and is haunted by evil spirits. I have always wanted to wash away the evil spirits from my body.
Listening to the Buddhist treasure "Diamond Sutra" can eliminate worries, eliminate karma, and increase wisdom and blessings! "
He bowed solemnly and said, "Master, could you lend me the Diamond Sutra from your temple so that I can recite it once to ward off disasters and pray for blessings, and eliminate all evil obstacles."
After hearing this, Jingxuan paused for a moment, a meaningful expression appeared on his face, and he slowly said: "To be honest, donor, the Diamond Sutra records all the truths of the world, which can give people infinite wisdom, cleanse the body and mind, and persuade people to be good.
Ordinary people will be shocked, fascinated and convert to Buddhism just by seeing the cover of the Diamond Sutra.
Even if you are a Taoist, you may be deeply moved and change your faith after reading the content of the Diamond Sutra. "
Fang Zhixing listened carefully and was surprised.
This Diamond Sutra has some tricks and seems to have the function of brainwashing.
Fang Zhixing said seriously: "Master, I want to challenge my beliefs."
Seeing this, Jing Xuan nodded and said, "Okay, then I will fulfill your wish."
The two of them stood up and walked out of the meditation room.
Coincidentally, Lianquan and the other two were teasing the white crane in the yard.
"Where are you going?" Lianquan asked with a smile.
Fang Zhixing explained it simply.
Liansheng immediately became interested, and waved his fan and said with a smile: "I have admired the Buddhist scriptures for a long time. I wonder if we can watch it from the sidelines?"
Jingxuan responded: "Why not?"
"Thank you, Abbot, for your help!"
Liansheng and the other two were overjoyed and went there happily.
The group of people, along with the small dog, headed towards the backyard.
After a while, they came to a nine-story pagoda.
What is strange is that this pagoda does not stand up to the sky, but stands upside down.
"This is the Nine-story Demon Suppression Tower!"
Jingxuan introduced with a smile: "Inside the tower are suppressed countless evil demons, Buddhas, and people with deep sins."
Fang Zhixing and his companions became more and more interested.
Jingxuan led the way, pushed open a door, and walked into a spacious hall.
Fang Zhixing followed closely and stepped through the gate.
Suddenly, his whole body was shaken, and he felt an inexplicable breath spreading over him, impacting his spirit.
The aura was as vast as the ocean, majestic and huge, indescribable.
Fang Zhixing paused and walked forward again.
The further you go, the greater the mental pressure you feel.
Gradually, a voice came into my mind.
Fang Zhixing concentrated and listened carefully.
The sound became clearer and clearer, as if many people were chanting at the same time, but unfortunately I couldn't understand it.
It seems to be a kind of Sanskrit, extremely strange and profound.
As Fang Zhixing walked forward, he suddenly noticed that the thin dog's steps were heavy, its ears were drooping, and its tail was tucked in.
Fang Zhixing transmitted the message: "How come you can also hear the Sanskrit sound?"
The dog raised his head slightly and replied, "What Sanskrit sound? I just feel that the atmosphere here is a bit depressing, as if many pairs of eyes are staring at me. I feel very uncomfortable."
Upon hearing this, Fang Zhixing looked at Lianquan and the other two.
Lianquan remained calm, looking relaxed and happy as if bathed in the spring breeze.
Liansheng put away his folding fan, frowned, and his expression looked a little solemn.
Lian Yue's face was solemn and her body was tense, as if she was resisting something with all her might.
At this time, Jingxuan stopped.
Fang Zhixing's eyes flashed, and he immediately noticed that there was a big hole on the ground in the middle of the hall.
Jingxuan brought them to the big cave and looked down.
There were nine levels of space in the cave, one level lower than the other.
The environment on each level is different, and the deeper you go, the worse it gets.
The deepest layer is completely dark and extremely cold, not a place for humans to stay.
Jingxuan looked at Fang Zhixing, twirling his beard and smiling, as if he was looking at a prey that had fallen into a trap, and asked, "Master An, are you sure you really want to read the Diamond Sutra?"
Fang Zhixing said calmly: "Such an opportunity is hard to come by, please make it happen, Master."
"good!"
Jingxuan was greatly encouraged, raised his hands and clapped them.
Pop~ Then, there was a flash of light above the cave entrance.
Fang Zhixing's pupils shrank, and he saw a golden book suddenly appear, floating in the air, shining with dazzling golden light and extremely sacred.
The golden book slowly descended.
"Fuck, this thing..."
The thin dog's fur stood on end and he couldn't help but shrink back and hide behind Fang Zhixing.
"Amitabha!" Lianquan clasped his hands together with a pious expression.
But Liansheng and Lianyue looked very unnatural and subconsciously stood behind Lianquan.
Jing Xuan's face was filled with relief, and he smiled and said, "This is one of the three copies of the Diamond Sutra, which has been stored here to suppress the countless evil demons and Buddhas below."
As the Diamond Sutra appeared, a shrill scream came from below the cave entrance.
"Old bald donkey Jingxuan, why are you taking out the Diamond Sutra now?"
“Isn’t it enough to torture us by reading the scriptures three times a day, morning, noon and night?”
"I'm converted. I've changed my ways!"
…
Fang Zhixing glanced down and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with these prisoners? Why are they so afraid of the Diamond Sutra?"
Jing Xuan laughed and said, "The evil cultivators of the Devil Buddha have had their cultivation sealed. Their spirits are suppressed by the Diamond Sutra. The more they resist, the more sinful they become, and the greater the torture they endure."
He pointed downwards and said, “Although the Demon Suppression Tower has nine floors, it does not restrict the prisoners’ range of movement; they can move freely between the nine floors.
Of course, those who have committed heinous crimes often cannot bear the baptism of the Diamond Sutra and have to hide in the depths of the ninth floor to linger on."
Fang Zhixing couldn't help but smack his lips and secretly sighed that Buddhism really had a good method.
Whoever refuses to obey will suffer more cruel mental torture.
Those who surrender can live in better environments on the first and second floors.
If we reform prisoners in this way, I'm afraid they will all become good people.
"Please come in." Jingxuan showed an expectant look on his face.
Fang Zhixing took a deep breath, raised his hands and held the Diamond Sutra.
Turn to the first page.
In an instant, endless golden light burst out, blinding people's eyes.
Fang Zhixing couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.
At this moment, all the noise in my ears disappeared.
Jingxuan, Xigou and the others all disappeared.
All Fang Zhixing saw before his eyes was endless golden light.
His heart tightened and he turned around to look around.
But I found myself standing in darkness, it was as dark as ink and I couldn't see anything.
Only the Buddhist scripture in front of him became the only light in his heart.
Fang Zhixing felt confused, as if there were many shadows approaching in the darkness, waiting to devour anyone.
“Hehehe~”
Not long after, a cold laugh suddenly rang out.
Fang Zhixing's pupils shrank, and he saw a ball of black gas rushing towards him at an incredibly fast speed.
There seemed to be a monster in the black air. It had the outline of a long snake with three heads, and its body was covered with bumps and pus.
Fierce and evil!
With a whistling sound, the black gas rushed forward.
But the next moment, the black air touched the golden light emitted by the Diamond Sutra.
"ah!"
The black energy screamed, flew back and disappeared into the darkness.
Fang Zhixing looked around and couldn't help but gasp.
In the dark space around him, blood-red eyes appeared, staring at him with fierce and evil looks.
At this time, the light emitted by the Diamond Sutra began to slowly fade.
“Hehehe~”
The blood-red eyes around slowly approached.
It seemed that when the golden light was completely extinguished, all the evil eyes would rush over and eat Fang Zhixing alive.
Seeing this situation...
A flash of enlightenment emerged in Fang Zhixing's mind.
It seemed that he had to read the scriptures to dispel the monsters in the darkness.
Thinking of this, he calmed his mind and focused his eyes on the first page of scriptures.
Then he was stunned.
On the first page, there was a totem clearly depicted, which was the image of a furious Vajra!
Fang Zhixing had seen that the Vajra form displayed by Xuanming was this one.
Below the totem, there is a line of large golden characters.
Om Mani Padme Hum~ When Fang Zhixing saw these words, he read them out subconsciously.
After reading it once, the angry-eyed Vajra image shone brightly and slowly rose up from the page.
From two-dimensional to three-dimensional!
The angry Vajra image slowly rose up and stood in front of Fang Zhixing, glaring in all directions.
For a moment, all the blood-red eyes in the darkness retreated violently, and screams of fear rang out one after another.
Fang Zhixing was delighted and recited the sutra ten times in a row.
With each recitation, the image of the wrathful Vajra becomes more solid and vivid.
By the tenth time, it was as if the angry Vajra himself had appeared!
Immediately afterwards, Fang Zhixing turned to the second page.
Another totem came into view.
It is the Dharma image of Acalanatha!
There is also a line of text below the totem, which is still the six-word mantra.
It’s just that the order of the six words is different.
Fang Zhixing then read it aloud.
Without any surprise, the image of Acalanatha rose up slowly and guarded Fang Zhixing.
Those bloodshot eyes in the darkness were no longer calm, and each one was terrified.
The bloodshot eyes quickly diminished.
Only a few bloodshot eyes were still staring at Fang Zhixing, all of them were extremely vicious and cruel.
Fang Zhixing looked disdainful and focused.
He turned to the third page.
The third totem comes to life on the paper.
Fang Zhixing had never seen such a statue before. It was a bronze-skinned, burly warrior with a flame in his left hand and a diamond hammer in his right hand, as if he was forging iron.
“Hey, this is…”
Fang Zhixing blinked and immediately felt a sense of familiarity.
Then, the scripture below was read out naturally.
Immediately, a feeling of sudden enlightenment came over me.
"So you are Namo Baoguang Faxiang!"
Only then can one realize the truth.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Namo Baoguang Fashang, who is proficient in the art of forging, is known as the Buddha of forging.
All the Buddhist instruments were made by Namo Baoguang Fashang.
Fang Zhixing himself is a master of forging. Although he did not focus on developing this profession, his forging skills are undoubtedly superb.
At this time, when he saw the Dharma image of Namo Baoguang, he felt like he had met a famous teacher and naturally felt very close to him.
Fang Zhixing recited the scripture ten times with admiration.
The image of Namo Baoguang gradually rose up, flames rose from the palm of his hand, and the Vajra Hammer was so majestic that it shook the world.
In an instant, all the blood-red eyes disappeared.
The darkness returned to calm.
With the three Dharma images guarding him, Fang Zhixing felt more relaxed than ever before, with a full sense of security.
It’s a pity that the Diamond Sutra ends here and there is no fourth page.
"Well, I'll find a chance to get the other two copies of the Diamond Sutra..."
Fang Zhixing made up his mind.
At this moment, the system panel flashed with light.
[You read the Diamond Sutra, comprehended the profound meaning of the three dharma images, and your spirit was sublimated...]
[The magical power 'Tyrant Born' begins to evolve! 】
【Magic power evolution completed! 】
[Magic Power: Tyrant Worships Buddha]
Fang Zhixing's whole body trembled, and a huge phantom rose slowly from above his head, standing tall and majestic, with unparalleled dominance.
It's the tyrant!
But the tyrant at this time was much less violent and more domineering, and at the same time, there was a string of prayer beads in his right hand.
There are nine beads in total on the rosary, three of which are sparkling and six are dull.
Fang Zhixing suddenly realized something and saw the tyrant pinching a glowing rosary.
In an instant, the tyrant adopted a completely new attitude, his eyes wide open with anger, and he overcame his opponent with his strength.
It is the angry Vajra Dharma image!
Then, the tyrant pinched the second glowing rosary, and his posture changed again, transforming into the image of Acalanatha, with invincible defense and indestructible.
This is not over yet!
The tyrant pinched the third glowing rosary, and his posture immediately changed into the Namo Baoguang Dharma Image, with unparalleled forging ability! Three Vajra Dharma Images, free to play! And every time the tyrant worships the Buddha, he will master all the abilities of the three Vajra Dharma Images.
"Cool!"
Fang Zhixing couldn't help but throw his head back and laugh, feeling happier than ever before.
He closed the Buddhist book.
The three Dharma images then turned into points of light and dissipated.
The darkness is gone.
Fang Zhixing raised his head and saw Jingxuan, Lianquan and others.
There were bursts of shrill screams in my ears.
He let go of the Diamond Sutra, put his hands together, and chanted, "Amitabha!"
"you……"
Jingxuan blinked, his expression filled with doubt and confusion.
He discovered that at this moment, Fang Zhixing had a faint Buddha's light on his body, and it was obvious that he had been deeply baptized by the Diamond Sutra.
People like him often lose themselves, become converts to Buddhism, and are extremely pious to it.
Just imagine, if the Taoist leader was brainwashed by the Diamond Sutra and converted to Buddhism, what a severe blow it would be to Taoism! However, Fang Zhixing was calm, mentally stable, and free and easy, and he didn't look like he was deeply brainwashed at all.
Jingxuan had never encountered such a situation before and was confused for a moment.
After a while, Jingxuan calmed down and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the donor for establishing a relationship with my Buddha, washing away all the evil spirits, and staying away from all kinds of karma from now on."
Fang Zhixing raised the corner of his mouth, took out the Spark Sword and handed it over, saying with a smile: "Return it to its original owner."
Jingxuan reached out to take it, feeling mixed emotions, not knowing whether he had made a profit or a loss this time.
Ding~ Ding~ Suddenly, a bell sounded from Jihuo Temple, ringing seven times in a row.
Jingxuan's face changed.
Lianquan asked, "Could it be that Jihuo Temple was attacked?"
She was a Buddhist and knew very well what the seven bell rings represented.
Jingxuan responded: "There is a restricted area in this temple..."
Not finished yet!
A beam of light burst out from the knife on Fang Zhixing's left hand and condensed into words.
[Quickly go to the Bodhi restricted area and eliminate the evil things! ]
Jing Xuan's eyes widened three points, and he asked in shock: "Heavenly Ring, how do you have this thing?"
“A gift from a friend.”
Fang Zhixing said vaguely: "Please lead the way, senior. This is a mission that must be completed. I can't just ignore it."
Jingxuan nodded and said with a smile, "One more person means more strength. Please come this way."
They all left the Demon-Suppressing Tower and walked quickly to the Court of Protection.
At this moment, the four guardian monks gathered together and were discussing something! There were many young and middle-aged monks standing beside them.
“Master!”
Hyun-myung and three others came forward to greet them.
Jingxuan ordered: "Let's enter the Bodhi restricted area without delay."
"yes!"
The monks did not dare to delay and turned around and ran towards the inner courtyard at the same time.
Fang Zhixing looked up and saw a stone statue standing in the inner courtyard. He didn't know which Bodhisattva it was, but it had four arms and was sitting in a lotus position.
A young monk ran to the stone statue of the Bodhisattva and reached out to touch the hand at the bottom.
Whoosh! The young monk suddenly disappeared from the spot without a trace.
The monks followed suit, touching the Bodhisattva's hand one after another.
Soon, Fang Zhixing also walked forward and reached out to touch it.
The next moment, his eyes blurred and the scene around him changed completely.
He appeared in a magnificent hall.
This hall also has a stone statue of Bodhisattva.
Fang Zhixing looked around and his expression suddenly changed.
"That's a crystal chandelier?!"
Fang Zhixing saw a crystal chandelier hanging on the ceiling.
Although the decoration style of the hall is retro, the building materials seem to be cement and steel bars.
The monks stood in the hall.
Not far away, there was a man wearing sunglasses and a suit, with slightly gray hair at the temples, and he looked to be in his fifties.
Fang Zhixing's eyes flashed, and he discovered that the man in the suit's right hand was fake, made of sophisticated machinery, and the skin was also artificial.
It smells like the Terminator !
The thin dog also followed and was shocked when he saw what was happening.
He and Fang Zhixing looked at each other.
Jingxuan stepped out of the crowd and walked towards the man in the suit.
"I'm sorry, but we're facing a major crisis and have to summon you."
The man in the suit looked serious as he looked at the group of monks and said carefully, "About fifteen minutes ago, a glutton suddenly appeared in the city. In just a few minutes, he devoured hundreds of people and destroyed thirteen buildings."
Jingxuan nodded and said, "Hurry up and lead the way."
The man in the suit turned and walked out.
Everyone followed closely.
I came outside the hall and took a look.
“Fuck!”
The thin dog looked left and right with a shocked expression.
There are tall buildings outside and flying cars flowing in the air.
There are people walking on the street, most of them are cyborgs, half human and half machine.
Behind a tall building, thick smoke billowed and explosions were heard amid the noise.
The man in the suit got on a flying motorcycle and flew over there.
Hyun-myung took out a colorful auspicious cloud, asked everyone to sit on it, and flew up into the sky.
Soon, they passed the building and saw a large block burning with thick smoke.
Several buildings have collapsed and the place is in ruins.
Hundreds of flying cars were hovering, and sharp sirens sounded throughout the world.
Boom! Suddenly there was an explosion somewhere.
Fang Zhixing looked down and immediately saw some unmanned aircraft firing beams of red energy towards the ground.
That red energy beam, similar to Superman's heat vision, can melt and vaporize any substance.
Colorful auspicious clouds descended quickly.
"The True Buddha has arrived, everyone stand down!"
The man in the suit stood high up and sent out a brain wave.
Immediately, all the aircraft retreated quickly and the alarm stopped.
Hyun-myeong waved his sleeves, raising a strong wind that blew away the billowing smoke.
A huge creature came into view.
The outline is that of an enormous caterpillar.
This caterpillar has no mouthparts and its body is a fusion of flesh and machinery.
There are dense strands of hair on its body, but if you look closely, you can see that those hairs are actually people.
“Help!”
There was a young woman on the ground running, screaming and shouting in fear.
The caterpillar rushed forward and crushed her.
The woman was instantly stuck to Maomao and became one of those hairs.
The dense hairs on the caterpillar's body make the picture extremely creepy.
"Please, everyone, please kill this glutton as soon as possible!" the man in the suit made a request.
Jingxuan said in a deep voice: "Amitabha, these evil things are extremely harmful and must be eliminated as soon as possible."
Hyun-myung immediately controlled the colorful clouds to descend to the ground.
The monks jumped down.
There were thirty-six monks in total, all armed with sticks.
They dispersed, and suddenly their bodies swelled up, turning into tall and mighty bronze men.
This bronze figure is not a Vajra Dharmakāya, but a lower-level Dharmakāya.
The thirty-six bronze men formation was famous and had strong offensive and defensive capabilities, not inferior to any Vajra statue !
The Glutton fell into the formation of thirty-six bronze men.
I saw thirty-six bronze men lifting and binding him, and beating him on the head.
Bang, bang, bang! Every stick landed on the glutton's body, and the human hair was blown up one by one and smashed into pieces.
The glutton roared, and his body rolled violently...
