Walking up to the stone tablet, Su Mu saw the scriptures on it, which were preserved very intact.
"Thus have I heard..."
Su Mu recited a few sentences from the scripture.
Unfortunately, he knew little about Buddhist scriptures and had no idea which scripture was engraved on the stone tablet.
Just as I was about to ask the book spirit on my shoulder, I heard a voice coming from behind:
“This is the Shurangama Sutra.”
"How do you know?"
Su Mu knew without looking back that the person coming was Su Ye.
"I saw it before when I was sick and staying at home."
"So that's how it is." Su Mu nodded, then looked at the scriptures on the stone tablet and muttered, "The Shurangama Sutra? I thought it would be something like the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra."
After all, the portrait of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is still on the wall.
Su Ye walked closer and took a closer look. He said, "The Shurangama Sutra has more than 62,000 characters. This stone tablet is not big, but the characters are not small. It is impossible to carve a complete set of scriptures, even if the one next to it is included. Could it be that there were many stone tablets in this Buddhist hall before?"
Su Mu smiled and said, "The problem you are worried about does not exist, because this is not an ordinary stone tablet, you see..."
He raised his hand and swept it across the stone tablet, and saw that the text had changed, as if turning a page, revealing new content.
"Is it possible?"
"I just discovered it, too. This stone tablet can be considered a magical tool."
It works just like an e-reader...
The book spirit finally responded at this time and took the initiative to introduce himself:
"The Shurangama Sutra is an extremely important Buddhist scripture. In the Sutra of the Extinction of the Dharma, it is said that in the age of the last dharma, the Shurangama Sutra will be destroyed first, and the rest of the sutras will follow. If the Shurangama Sutra does not perish, the age of the true dharma will arrive."
"Oh?" Su Mu raised his eyebrows slightly.
Could this Dharma Ending Age mentioned by Buddhism be related to the advent of a secret realm and the birth of evil demons and ferocious beasts?
In the newly arrived secret realm, the chaotic and violent spiritual energy will drive people crazy after being released, thus stimulating the 'evil' side.
As for evil monsters and ferocious beasts, needless to say, they are all disasters.
Of course, these are just Su Mu's random guesses.
He didn't know much about Buddhist stories and allusions, but he felt that there were some common points in these things.
Su Mu glanced around again.
In this Buddhist temple, all other statues and stone tablets were destroyed, and even the murals that seemed to be of no use were mottled and dilapidated.
Only the stone tablet engraved with the Shurangama Sutra was intact...
I wonder if there is any connection with the sentence in the "Sutra on the Extinction of the Dharma", "As long as the "Surangama Sutra" does not perish, the era of the true Dharma will be present"?
Su Mu asked several Buddhist classmates for advice, but unfortunately they couldn't explain it clearly. So he stopped thinking about it and started to visualize the blood moon, trying to see what the mysterious chanting sound was like.
As his visualization succeeded and triggered resonance, his forehead became shiny and released a blood-red moonlight.
But the stone tablet and the scriptures on it did not react at all.
There was no sound of chanting either.
This is a bit embarrassing...
Su Mu stopped visualizing the blood moon and pondered: "It seems that in order to activate the stone tablet, in addition to the blood moon, a powerful demon is also needed."
It will take some time to catch a powerful demon.
There was a person tied to the armored vehicle outside, but his body was drained of energy. Even if he was brought into the temple, he probably wouldn't be able to activate the stone tablet.
Besides, that guy has already surrendered. It would be bad if he was killed or injured by the activated stone tablet.
It would be better to die, and put an end to it all.
If he's just injured, we still have to work hard and provide medicine to heal him. Thank you so much.
"Forget it. Let's try again when we meet other monsters in the future." Su Mu shook his head and gave up the idea of using the Tiger King as a test subject.
Outside the temple, on the armored vehicle, the heavily tied-up Tiger King shuddered for no reason.
The word "王" on his forehead wrinkled into a ball, and he thought in confusion: "Why do I feel like I have survived a catastrophe? Strange."
Su Mu in the Buddhist hall was about to carry the stone tablet away, but Su Ye raised his hand and pointed at the mural, shouting: "Brother, look, the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the mural seems to be explaining the Shurangama Sutra."
Su Mu was surprised: "This is a mural, and there is no sound. How can you tell that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is talking about the Shurangama Sutra? Don't tell me you read the lip movements."
Su Ye said: "Didn't you see a stone tablet next to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva? The shape is exactly the same as this stone tablet."
"What?"
Su Mu looked at the mural again.
As expected, there was a stone tablet next to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Next to the stone tablet was a spirit beast, Di Ting.
"That's not right."
Su Mu frowned.
He clearly remembered that when he saw the mural before, there was no stone tablet inside.
Could it be that this mural is based on the same principle as the rune poster, and is dynamic? But it just cannot make sounds and cannot interact better with people?
So… is this a giant GIF? An emoticon sent by the Buddha?
This style is comparable to "Friends bless you" and "Happy family" etc.
Su Mu looked at the murals, then at the stone tablet, and pondered: "There was no stone tablet before the murals, but now there is a stone tablet. Is it reminding me of something?"
This thought is exactly the same as suspecting that a member of the opposite sex is interested in you after being glanced at by them...
Su Mu started to practice visualization again, but this time he was not visualizing the blood moon, but the scene in the mural.
After the visualization was successful, Sumu seemed to be at the scene of the lecture, listening to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva preaching at a close distance.
It’s just this position, this angle…
"Fuck, I turned into that monument?!"
Su Mu was startled and his meditation was almost affected, so he quickly cleared his mind of distractions.
At the same time, everyone inside and outside the Buddhist hall heard the solemn chanting and saw a golden light shining out.
The sound of chanting restored the spiritual and physical strength of everyone who had just fought.
It's just like in the game, when someone's health and mana are both taken away.
Except for the people on guard, everyone else couldn't help but walk towards the Buddhist hall out of curiosity to see what was going on.
The powerful tiger king, who was tied to the armored vehicle, thought that he would be severely beaten by the chanting and the golden light, because he had broken into the Buddhist temple a long time ago and suffered losses, so he had experience.
He clenched his teeth and prepared himself for the beating, but this time the situation was not what he had imagined.
The chanting sound and golden light not only did not hit him, but instead helped purify the chaotic and violent spiritual energy in his body.
Looking at his former subordinates, each of them showed a very enjoyable and obscene expression. The powerful tiger king couldn't help but mutter:
"Is this the benefit of surrendering to humans? I finally understand why wolves were domesticated into dogs by humans. If I could have such a good life, I would also like to be a cute kitten! But what on earth happened in this Buddhist temple?"
The powerful tiger king stretched his neck and stuck his head out, but unfortunately he could see nothing except the backs of a group of people's heads and buttocks.
In the Buddhist hall, everyone was staring in amazement at Sumu who was reciting the "Lingyan Sutra".
Some students who practice Buddhism put their hands together, with solemn expressions, and chanted along.
The scriptures on the stone tablet turned into a golden light and flew out, pouring into Su Mu's body.
Su Ye, who was standing nearby, also absorbed a lot of golden light, not knowing whether it was because of the effect of Emperor Europe's magical powers or for some other reason.
When the golden light that emerged from the stone tablet was completely absorbed by the siblings Sumu and Suye, the stone tablet returned to its original state, but the murals on the wall turned into smoke and disappeared.
Su Mu stopped his visualization at this time, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and felt that his cultivation had improved again. The divine power stored in his meridians also increased a lot, which would be of great benefit to his future practice.
"Xiao Ye, you really are worthy of being called the Emperor of Europe!" Su Mu turned around and praised his little sister.
If Su Ye had not reminded him just now, he might not have been able to notice the changes in the murals, and he would not have been able to recite the "Lingyan Sutra" while visualizing the murals.
The classmates who had been chanting Buddhist scriptures together gathered around him and said excitedly: "Teacher Su (Junior Brother Su), you have a connection with Buddha, you should practice Buddhism!"
Just now, they followed Su Mu in chanting scriptures and gained different degrees of benefits.
Perhaps he has gained new insights into the scriptures, or his cultivation has improved, which is why he has such a reaction.
Su Mu was first dazzled by the bald heads in front of him and could hardly open his eyes. He wondered in his heart: For these Buddhists, are their heads balder and brighter as their cultivation level increases?
After hearing what they said, I was even more shocked: How can I be connected with Buddha just because I turned into a stone tablet? Is this the reason why I am still single?
Su Mu shuddered and quickly waved his hands, saying, "I don't know how to practice Buddhism, and I will never practice Buddhism in this life. What happened just now has nothing to do with whether I have a connection with Buddha or not. It's mainly because I have learned the visualization method well. If you learn the visualization method to this level, you can also resonate with the stone... Bodhisattva."
The book spirit was very tactful and spit out a batch of flyers from his mouth and distributed them to the hands of these Buddhist students.
It said enthusiastically: "Students, would you like to know more about the visualization tutoring class? It will help you to reach the cradle of success! Register now and pay cash to enjoy a 12% discount."
At the same time, a very small word appeared on its cover: No retreat after death.
Su Mu gave Shu Jing a thumbs up.
Yes, the road is wider.
After getting rid of this group of Buddhist classmates, Sumu carried the stone tablet out of the temple and tied it to another armored vehicle.
The group set off again, heading towards Yushan.
When leaving, Sumu did not forget to ask someone to take Jingguan with him.
These are all good materials. Don’t waste them after paying tribute to the heroes.
Just like what a certain stupid netizen said.
As for intimidating the demons, Su Mu, Pei Jun and others used their magical brushwork to draw a bunch of Jingguans here. Because they imprisoned the souls of the little demons, they were also deterrent.
In the next few days, they traveled during the day and looked for a camping site when it was about to get dark.
With Feili's Feng Shui calculations, Su Ye's good luck, and the help of Dalihuwang, the "guide" who is familiar with the surrounding environment, Sumu and his friends are always able to find a safe place to stay in time.
And every morning when it was time to set off, Sumu would take with him the statues, stone tablets and other things with the power to exorcise demons from the camp.
Even so, no one dared to take it lightly.
As they got closer to Yushan Mountain, they encountered more and more evil monsters and ferocious beasts, and they became stronger and stronger.
Especially at night, the ghosts wandering outside the campsite always make people feel uneasy.
Every night there are handsome men and beautiful women transformed from ghosts dancing outside, shouting to the handsome guys and beautiful girls to come and play. How can you feel at peace?
During these few days, Sumu and his friends also gathered several teams of surviving students.
That day, they met a group of classmates in a temple who had hid there for several days and did not dare to move rashly, and thus survived.
While helping this group of students treat their injuries, Jin Yuting discovered something.
She found Su Mu and reported solemnly: "Someone's spiritual power has been affected by the secret realm and has begun to become chaotic and violent!"
