Chapter 199: Master Kasyapa: Hello, Everyone
The Buddhist method?
Lin Fan and Gui Wu looked at each other. When they were killing the demon god, someone from the Buddhist sect came and persuaded them to keep the demon god.
As the golden light dissipated, a monk indeed appeared in the sky.
The monk had a young face and a kind expression, with two thin white eyebrows drooping down. Facing the stranger, Lin Fan opened the Eye of Merit and stared at the other person's reality. His face was expressionless, but his heart was greatly moved.
The devil Buddha is a concentrated dark and evil being. Even if he becomes the incarnation of Demon Xuan Dian, the devil nature he contains is not as much as the other party.
A strong man, this bald donkey is truly a strong man.
"Amitabha." The other party sighed softly when he saw the demon god being killed.
Lin Fan put his hands together and bowed, saying, "Sir, I am Xuan Dian. Just now, you asked me to show mercy, but it's too late now."
After saying that, he looked at Gui Wu. The master looked normal, and it was obvious that he did not see the other party's potential situation. Although the master had cultivated the Buddha's Eye and could see through all kinds of situations, it was still difficult for him to see through some deeply hidden existences.
He did not show any strange expression, waved his hand, and put the demon god's body into the storage ring.
I'm afraid that the bald donkey in front of me will not abide by the moral code of martial arts and take away the body of the demon god.
"It's fate." The monk shook his head and then looked at Guiwu. "I find the Buddhist teachings you exude quite familiar. Could it be the Buddhist teachings of Hongfa Temple in the lower world?"
After hearing these words, Lin Fan and Gui Wu were shocked.
"Venerable monk, are you also from the lower world?" Lin Fan asked.
The other party's cultivation is very high, definitely much stronger than him and Gui Wu combined. He must have been in the upper realm for a long time.
The monk said, "My Buddhist name is Kasyapa."
Gui Wu immediately bowed and said, "You are Master Kasyapa. I, Gui Wu, once went to the Kasyapa Temple in the lower world to practice Buddhism. The handwritten notes left by Master Kasyapa played a great role in my Buddhist practice."
Lin Fan didn't expect that the monk in front of him was actually Master Kashyapa.
When they entered the Holy Father's treasury, they obtained the cassock left by Kasyapa, which was then taken away by Jiekong. According to this timeline, Kasyapa came to the upper realm five hundred years ago.
It's incredible that he is still alive today.
Li Baichuan, who was refining his soul, had reached the point of sitting in meditation and wanted to give it a try, but there was still no hope. It was not because his realm was low, but because his realm was high. The mysterious thing was unwilling to let him continue practicing, causing his body to begin to disintegrate and show a state of decay.
Now, Kasyapa is still alive. His age has long exceeded 500, and is around 600 years old. He now appears to be full of energy and looks very young, which means that he definitely has not absorbed spiritual energy.
Otherwise it wouldn't be possible.
Patriarch Kasyapa smiled softly and said, "I didn't expect that after hundreds of years, I would still be able to meet fellow practitioners from the lower world. I am very pleased. Have you not absorbed the spiritual energy of this world?"
Lin Fan said: "No, we have been practicing the way of flesh and spirit fragrance in the lower realm. Later, when we came to the upper realm, we did not absorb spiritual energy. After all, the evil energy in the lower realm is too terrible, so we did not dare to take the risk of absorbing the spiritual energy of this realm."
"That's good." Patriarch Kasyapa said, "Fortunately you didn't absorb the spiritual energy of this world, otherwise you would have really embarked on a path of no return."
"Ah? What does Patriarch Kasyapa mean by this?" Lin Fan pretended to be shocked and puzzled, and asked quickly.
Gui Wu, who was standing by, felt a little uneasy and realized instantly that this matter was not simple. There might be something wrong with the Master Kashyapa in front of him, and his fellow Taoist was pretending to be crazy and stupid to communicate with him.
Gui Wu was equally shocked and asked, "Master, could it be that the spiritual energy in this world is the same as the evil energy in the lower world?"
Having said this.
Lin Fan and Gui Wu looked at each other, their eyes revealed shock, but they both understood each other tacitly in their hearts.
Don’t worry, fellow Taoist. I understand.
Although Master Jiaye was highly accomplished, he could not tell that the two were cooperating with each other. He said slowly, "That's right. The spiritual energy in this world may seem clean and pure, but it is more vicious than the evil energy. Inhaling the evil energy in the lower world will change your appearance and make your mind crazy, while the spiritual energy in this world will poison your body. When you reach a certain level, you will die."
Lin Fan didn't understand and said, "Since spiritual energy cannot be absorbed, then why are those people we met absorbing spiritual energy?"
Patriarch Kasyapa said, "Because I have not told anyone about this matter, the group of practitioners in this world have gone astray and committed many evil deeds, using ordinary people as their supplies. If they are asked to change their practice methods, then will the people of this world still have a way to survive?"
Lin Fan clenched his fists and said angrily, "That's right. This group of practitioners is really too much. I just can't stand them using ordinary people as consumables, so I went against several sects and uprooted them. Their behavior is even worse than the Huangtian Sect I encountered in the lower realm."
Patriarch Kashyapa looked at Lin Fan and didn't say much, but it was obvious that this Xuan Dian was a person who hated evil. As for his rather complicated aura, it was understandable because he practiced too many and too complicated spells, so naturally it was messy.
He knew the situation in the underworld.
The Dharma Ending Age.
There are too few magic spells that can be used. Even those practitioners who have achieved some skills may not necessarily possess a complete method of practice.
He had many doubts in his mind.
The channel for ascending from the lower world to the upper world had long been closed, so how did they ascend? He was also very concerned about Gui Wu's situation. Others might not be able to see it, but he saw through it thoroughly. This person had cultivated a Buddha body, which was very mysterious and unfathomable.
It is really incredible that Buddhist teachings in the lower world are also scarce and difficult to practice. The main reason is that too much Buddhist teachings exist in the Buddhist scriptures, but there are no specific methods for practice.
Unless you have great wisdom, great perseverance, and great luck.
Therefore, in Kasyapa's heart, Guiwu's potential is much higher than that of Xuandian.
Patriarch Kasyapa said, "We should not stay here for long. The noise you made just now when you killed the demon god was too loud. I am afraid it has attracted other people's attention. How about we leave first and come to my cave?"
"Then I'm sorry to bother you, Master." Lin Fan did not refuse. With the other party's level of Taoism, if they wanted to defeat them, there was no need to say any more nonsense. Now that they were talking so much nonsense, it meant that he and Master Guiwu were valuable.
In this case, safety is naturally guaranteed.
Patriarch Kasyapa chuckled, pinched his fingers, and a Buddha lotus emerged from the ground, appearing under everyone's feet. It then ascended into the sky and disappeared on the spot.
"Grandmaster, this method is truly brilliant. I have never heard of it or seen it before. It is amazing." Lin Fan exclaimed.
Patriarch Kasyapa said, "It is only a minor path."
Gui Wudao: "Fellow Daoist Xuandian, the method used by Patriarch Kasyapa is not simple. He has cultivated Buddhism to an extremely high level. Compared with the Patriarch, there is a huge difference between me and him."
Master Kashyapa was very pleased to be praised by two youngsters who also came from the lower world.
Luo Yu and Qian Kunzi looked as if they had never seen the world before. They looked down at the lotus. The methods they were facing now were too advanced. And this person who claimed to be Master Kashyapa was someone they had never heard of before.
But they could feel a very extraordinary aura from each other.
It's quite amazing.
Maybe crushing them to death is as easy as crushing an ant.
Not long after, a mountain appeared in front of us. In the mountain there was a temple. The temple was shining with golden light and was surrounded by rosy clouds. When we got closer, we felt at peace.
Everyone landed.
'Kasyapa Temple'
Lin Fan looked at the doorplate and asked, "Grandmaster, are there no other disciples in this temple?"
"No, since I came to the upper realm, I have been practicing Buddhism here." said Master Kashyapa.
Lin Fan seemed to be observing his surroundings curiously, but in fact his Eye of Merit had never been closed, which made him discover something strange. There were threads of faith, invisible to the naked eye, similar to incense, connecting the void and spreading in all directions.
His mind became active, which reminded him of the blessed land he visited when he first came to the upper world.
The people in those blessed lands are practitioners who came from different lower realms. They dare not venture out into the outside world and can only hide in the blessed lands and wait for death.
That time, he saw with his own eyes an old man sitting in meditation and passing away. A blood-colored thread fell from the sky above the blessed land, penetrated into the man's body, and absorbed all of his essence, energy, and spirit.
Could it be...
It seems like he thought of something.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Lin Fan suppressed his doubts deep in his heart and acted very normal, "Grandmaster, now the outside sects regard us as evil demons, aren't you afraid of being discovered by them?"
Patriarch Jiaye sighed, "When I first came to the upper realm, I also wanted to talk to those sects, but those sects really didn't distinguish right from wrong. Later, I had no choice but to live in seclusion in the mountains. As I cultivated to the Cave Void Realm, I opened up this quiet place on my own. They want to discover it, but they don't have the ability to do so."
"So that's how it is." Lin Fan suddenly understood and nodded.
When you come to the Buddhist temple, you should worship the Buddha statue with sincerity.
Patriarch Kasyapa motioned for everyone to sit down and rest, then he smiled kindly and said, "Master Xuandian, have you never been to the blessed land since you came to the upper realm?"
"The place that the ancestor is talking about is the place that protects those who ascend from the lower world?" Lin Fan asked.
"Yeah, that's it."
"I have been there, but the master and I left again. I thought that since we have already ascended to the upper realm, how can we take a good look at what the upper realm is like? But that place is indeed the final pure land. If it really comes to the last resort, I really want to spend the rest of my life there." Lin Fan spoke without thinking, and he said it very seriously.
Daji and Miaomiao acted very cool, not saying a word from beginning to end, and not even showing any facial expression.
I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to hold back and burst out laughing.
Patriarch Kasyapa nodded and said, "Fudi is indeed a good place. I have been there before. I don't know which master opened it up. It must be a senior who has ascended to heaven."
Lin Fan agreed, "That should be the case. After all, the means to open up a blessed land are not something that ordinary people can have."
"What are your plans next, fellow Taoist?" asked Master Kashyapa.
Lin Fan said, "To be honest with you, Master, I want to eradicate the Blood Cloud Sect. The demon god has appeared, and the Blood Cloud Sect's spiritual weapon has been broken, and its strength has been greatly reduced. Master Guiwu and I should have a chance."
Patriarch Jiaye said: "It is best to be careful in everything. The Blood Cloud Sect has existed in this world for a long time and has a deep foundation. Here is a six-word mantra talisman. I hope it can help fellow Taoists."
Lin Fan took the six-character mantra talisman very respectfully and said, "Thank you for the gift, Grandmaster. I have something I would like to ask for your approval."
"Haha, fellow Taoist, why don't you just speak frankly."
"The master and I are quite interested in Buddhist scriptures. I wonder if we can take a look at some of the Buddhist scriptures collected by the master."
"It's nothing, it's fine." Patriarch Kasyapa was very generous. With a wave of his hand, a dozen Buddhist scriptures appeared in front of everyone. "These Buddhist scriptures are all rubbings. Some of the handwriting is blurred and can't be seen clearly. Everyone will have a different understanding. I will give them to you two."
"Thank you, Master." Lin Fan expressed his gratitude again, and then asked Gui Wu to put away the Buddhist scriptures.
He is the one who gave it to Gui Wuyao.
The master has read all the Buddhist scriptures he can read, and he also hopes that the master can go further. Now that he has met Kasyapa, regardless of the other party's purpose for the time being, it is a gain if he can get some Buddhist scriptures.
Lin Fan stood up and said, "Then I won't disturb the master's practice."
"Okay." Master Kasyapa's expression softened and he stood up to see them off.
At this moment, there was a loud bang and the earth shook.
A torrent of magical power, like a flood from the sky, directly broke through the barrier of the Jiaye Temple, and then a gloomy voice was heard.
"Evil monk Kasyapa, you have opposed us time and again. You want to save the people of the world, but you are against all of our sects. Today we finally found you. Your death is coming."
As the sound came.
Master Kasyapa's face changed drastically.
Lin Fan was stunned. What was going on? Why were the routines so complicated, one after another? Could it be that the scene that was about to appear was that Kasyapa would fight against a powerful man, and then speak a long and righteous speech, leaving some deep impression in their hearts?
"Master Kasyapa, who is here?" Lin Fan asked hurriedly.
Patriarch Jiaye said: "I did not want the people of the world to be deceived, so I did something, but these things touched the interests of those sects. I didn't expect that they would find here. These monsters are no less capable than me. I will escort you away later and will never involve you."
According to a normal person, after saying this, the other party will definitely say, how can we leave, please let us stay, we are not powerless and can definitely help.
but……
"Okay, then we won't burden the master anymore. Our cultivation is shallow, and if we insist on staying, we will be a burden to the master." Lin Fan nodded and said.
Patriarch Kashyapa was obviously stunned for a moment, but this sign quickly disappeared. Then a lotus rose up and escorted them out without any hesitation.
They flew out of the Kashyapa Temple with their feet on the lotus. Those people roared and attacked suddenly. Patriarch Kashyapa came out of nowhere and raised his hands to block them. In an instant, the Buddha's light surged in the sky and the roar continued.
"Evil monk, you actually want to send people away? You are dreaming."
"I am here, don't even think about catching up with me."
A loud conversation came from behind.
Lin Fan turned around and shouted, "Master Kasyapa..."
His tone was filled with worry.
Miaomiao and Daji were stunned. They had never seen the Taoist priest behave so realistically. If they were not familiar with the Taoist priest, they would have believed that this was the Taoist priest's true feelings.
