Chapter 127 Planning the Demon Suppressing Ceremony
“I signed Wannian in Shaolin ()”
The dream was shattered, and Su Cheng woke up from the trance.
After this "actual confrontation" with the old monk in his dream, he found that he had gained a lot.
First of all, the most obvious is that there has been a considerable improvement in martial arts comprehension.
After all, the old monk was the first "shape refining master" Su Cheng met, and he was also a Buddhist arhat master. Although he had fought against Master Pang before, but Master Pang is a master of refining gods, and he is not as good as the old monk in terms of comprehension.
This actual combat allowed Su Cheng to fully make up for the shortcomings in the cultivation of body training martial arts. Therefore, the realm of the "seventh level of innateness" has reached a state of perfection, and without any impact, it has naturally broken through to the "eighth level of innateness"!
"System, I have broken through, the sign-in rewards will be richer, right?"
Su Cheng began today's sign-in with some anticipation.
[Ding, the sign-in is successful, congratulations to the host for obtaining the "Sakyamuni Mantra of Peace of Mind"]
"Truth?"
Su Cheng didn't expect that the reward this time would be a mantra.
Since the last time he signed in the inner courtyard and obtained the heart mantra of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, he has not obtained a new mantra for a long time.
But if you think about it carefully, the mantra is still very useful.
The Mantra of the Seven Buddhas to Exterminate Crimes can purify the karma of demonic obstacles and purify merits and virtues.
The six-character mantra is a powerful sealing mantra, which has a strong restraining power against evil spirits, and can even purify "demon monks".
The heart mantra of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is the mantra of salvation, which can transcend the souls of the dead and send them to rebirth.
What about the "Sakyamuni Mantra of Restoration"?
"Check the instructions!"
[Shakya's Mantra of Concentration: Also known as Shakya's Mantra of Concentration, it is a mantra passed down from Sakyamuni Tathagata. Reciting the centering mantra can purify distracting thoughts and make the mind reach the state of "brightness". If a person with magic karma listens to it, it will be based on the strength of the mantra chanter's merit and the depth of the other party's sin karma. cause pain to it. Light ranges from being upset and troubled by consciousness. In severe cases, eye swelling and headache, numbness in hands and feet, shattered mind, life would be worse than death. 】
Simply put, this self-recognition has the magical effect of calming the mind. But it can also be used as a "weapon".
Although it doesn't seem to be fatal, it seems quite scary. It can make people upset and even have a splitting headache.
But after reading this explanation, Su Cheng couldn't help thinking.
Sakyamuni's centering spell... This introduction is so similar to the "tightening spell" in "Journey to the West"! ?
this.
His desire to complain, which he hadn't had for a long time, was once again aroused by this "centering spell".
First, I learned the Medicine Master's Liuli Sutra, which turned my physique into "Tang Monk's flesh". Then, he rewarded cassocks, Zen palms, Dharma hats, and alms bowls. Uh, by the way, the bowl has already been eaten by the Snake King...
It's a good thing now, and there's another magic spell.
Time to reward a monkey and a pig.
However, Su Cheng didn't care too much. This "centering spell" is not bad, although he has no intention of using this spell to torture others for the time being. However, the mind can be enlightened by the movement of the mind, and it can make oneself enter into meditation practice faster.
It also has miraculous effects in helping the cultivation of "Six Gods Jue".
In short, it is not a loss to get this "Sakyamuni Mantra of Peace of Mind"!
In the next few days, Su Cheng continued to practice meditation as usual.
Originally, he thought he had discovered the mystery of the Great Dream Sutra, and thought that he could go to the old monk in the dream to "practice". However, what is disappointing is that this time when entering the dream world, the golden gate is gone.
As if it was just a flash in the pan, it no longer exists. However, Su Cheng vaguely noticed that some changes had taken place in the dream world.
It's hard to say where the specific changes are, but the "greyness" of the sky is a little less. It seems to be cleaner.
Moreover, Su Cheng tried to explore the distance of the dream world. Originally, it was only within the scope of Shaoshi Mountain, but now it includes several peaks such as "Taishi Mountain". It is even close to the "Shengguan Peak" of Songshan Mountain.
Su Cheng could even see the dream gate of the disciples in the "Longmen Jiange" of the Songshan School from a distance.
However, after all, it was still a bit short and could not be included.
It is estimated that the Great Dream Scripture has made some progress.
It's just that from here, Su Cheng felt a little bit at a loss as to where to start in comprehending the Great Dream Sutra.
Of course he didn't care much. In his eyes, the Damengzhenjing has a good effect in assisting cultivation. First, use the place in the dream world to continue to perfect yourself and improve your cultivation.
Maybe after I formally break through to the "Arhat" realm, the problems in the dream world will naturally be solved.
I am already born at the eighth level, and I am not too far away from the "Arhat Realm".
But without an opponent trained in actual combat, the "successful entry" was much slower.
In a flash, another half a month passed.
On this day, Su Cheng was practicing, but he suddenly felt a person approaching the Buddhist scriptures pavilion in his consciousness. He was slightly taken aback, and then realized the identity of the visitor.
It is "Fazhen".
Indeed, before the catastrophe in Shaolin Temple, Fazhen came here once a month. This time, probably because of the catastrophe, I haven't been here for a long time.
But it has been nearly two months now, and Shaolin Temple has also calmed down. Therefore, Fazhen came.
That's all right.
It's been a long time since I talked to others. If someone can come to visit, Su Cheng is not in a hurry to practice at the moment. Of course, he can also chat with Fazhen's little novice, just to tease the children.
So he ordered the Snake King to go to the back mountain, and then he walked down the Tibetan scripture pavilion. Open and wait for Fazhen...
Not long after, Fazhen really came and brought some dried fruit to share with Su Cheng, which made him feel warm.
During the conversation, Su Cheng learned that this dried fruit was rewarded to Fazhen by Master Xuanjing of Luohan Hall. And these days, Abbot Xuanci has carried out some reforms on Shaolin Temple's property. For example, some adjustments have been made in terms of rent collection. The previous rent was 50% rent, but this time the reform has reduced it to 30%.
And because the Zen monks had left five or six hundred people, the number of people in Shaolin Temple also decreased a lot.
Although there are still four thousand people. However, there is almost no pressure. In fact, as long as 10% of the land is rented, they will be able to support themselves well...
But even so. This kind of reform, of course, also made Shaolin Temple more popular and loved. Therefore, the nearby people sent many gifts, and this dried fruit was one of them.
After learning about it, Su Cheng ate it disrespectfully.
After a while, when the two were talking, Fazhen suddenly asked: "By the way, Senior Brother Fazang. Recently, my Shaolin has started to organize a once-in-a-year 'Shaolin Conference'. Master Xuanjing said I was lazy, so I asked me to Help to deliver the letter. It is possible that there is not much time to come here in the past few months."
"Shaolin Conference?"
Su Cheng's eyes flickered slightly when he heard this.
The Shaolin Conference is the "Grand Ceremony of Martial Arts and Dao" held by Shaolin Temple every twelve years.
It is different from the triennial martial arts ceremony. This "Shaolin Conference" is Shaolin's invitation to the junior elite disciples from various schools of martial arts in the Jianghu to come to Shaolin Temple to discuss Taoism and perform martial arts, exchange experiences, and use it to support the younger generation.
However, compared to this, because Su Cheng had read the dreams of the chiefs before. But he knew that this Shaolin Conference was different from every other one. In addition to "playing martial arts and discussing Taoism". It has another purpose secretly, which is to "suppress demons".
Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it the "Suppression Demon Ceremony".
On the surface, it is to gather younger disciples and let them discuss Taoism and perform martial arts.
But another purpose is to gather experts from various factions to strengthen the power and seal of the "Golden Seal of Great Sun Tathagata" of the stupa together!
