Chapter 4100: Kassapa Buddha’s Obsession
"What does the concealment formation conceal?"
Zhang Ruochen wanted to use the method of truth to peek, but there were no rules of truth to mobilize here, so he had to give up.
Look at the stars in all directions again.
Gradually, a strange look appeared on Zhang Ruochen's face, and he said to himself: "This... this is the "River Picture"! No, it should be said that the fifty-five black and white dots on the "River Picture" are the starry sky scene here. summary."
When Zhang Ruochen saw "River Map" for the first time in the Temple of Destiny, he fell into it, as if he had entered another universe. The starry sky in the picture is boundless, and each star moves according to specific rules, hiding endless changes.
The starry sky in front of me is actually not exactly the same as the starry sky that Zhang Ruochen saw when he entered the artistic conception of "River Picture".
The starry sky here is thick with star mist and colorful. It is a thousand or ten thousand times more complex than the artistic conception of "River Picture", and it is also more real.
If you observe carefully, each star seems to have a tail, connected to the nebula by one or several faintly visible lines. Zhang Ruochen can only see this if his consciousness is strong.
Before, it would have been impossible to detect it.
Zhang Ruochen looked bitter and laughed sarcastically: ""River Map", "River Map", no wonder it's called "River Map". It turns out that this is the fundamental operating rule. Every star is connected to a river. Isn't that right?" Is it the Santu River? If the Santu River was created by Ancestor Ming, wouldn’t the "River Map" be the way of Ancestor Ming?"
Zhang Ruochen's Wuji Divine Way and the changes after the Five Elements were derived from "He Tu" and "Luo Shu".
"Luoshu" was created by Emperor Wa, and its greatness goes without saying.
Since "River Map" originated from the Ming Ancestor, how could Zhang Ruochen cut off his connection with him?
Zhang Ruochen walked along the dotted lines in the starry sky in the direction where the dotted lines converged, hoping to find the end of the "river".
On the way, Zhang Ruochen saw a star map, which was exactly the same as the "Immortality Spell" engraved in the Tianzun Hall at the bottom of Xinghuan Tiandi.
It turns out that the method of immortality that Xinghuan Tianzun was looking for, what the Nine-Death Emperor and the Great Demon God cultivated were just a corner of the "River Map".
"He Tu" is too simplified, and it is difficult for anyone to understand the Tao.
The "immortality spell" is too incomplete.
Fortunately, the "Immortal Curse" is detailed enough. Both the Nine-Death Emperor and the Great Demon God used it to live for nine lives and understand many magical powers.
Even Xinghuan Tianzun obtained the "Immortal Curse" and created the peerless magical power of thousands of stars.
I don't know how much time passed, but Zhang Ruochen finally saw the ends of all the "rivers" in the starry sky.
There, as Brahma Xin said at that time, there were rules of heaven and earth from the ancient Hades era.
The ancient and special rules of heaven and earth, together with the dark mist, are not only the end of all "rivers", but also the end of space.
Zhang Ruochen stood in front of the dark mist. Even without a physical body, he felt the coldness and secretly thought in his heart whether to continue moving forward.
The Ming Mist is absolutely dangerous. It is most likely left by the Ming Ancestor. It may contain the power of a curse, and the conscious body will definitely not be able to withstand it.
"Underworld Ancestor should have stayed here for a long time. These are just residual Qi. Perhaps, after that battle, he hid here to recuperate."
"Many questions have already been answered, so there is no need to continue taking risks."
Zhang Ruochen took a step back and was about to leave.
"Hum!"
A Sanskrit sound came from the depths of the mist, like Hong Zhong Da Lu.
Hum is one of the six-character mantras of Buddhism.
Zhang Ruochen looked back.
I saw that the dark mist dispersed, revealing the world in front of me.
A piece of the starry sky ahead was missing.
The gap was very irregular, as if someone had knocked it out.
Although it was extremely dark behind the gap and nothing could be seen, the painting Zhang Ruochen had been looking for appeared in front of him.
This painting exudes a faint golden light, blending with the nebulae in the starry sky, and contains the ancient and distant Buddhist essence.
Painting, partly in the starry sky, partly floating in the gap.
Just like a piece of drawing paper, fill in the gaps.
"It's the breath of Kasyapa Buddha." If Zhang Ruochen were here in the flesh, he would definitely have tears in his eyes.
He finally unlocked all the truth!
There is no doubt that this is not another universe at all, nor is it an independent starry sky, but inside the Xuding.
The previous stone gate was the Dingkou.
The current location is the bottom of the tripod.
The star gap in front of him, if Zhang Ruochen guessed correctly, was the material of the Anti-God Monument that had been knocked down.
All the stars in the sky are the inner walls of the virtual cauldron.
The familiar aura that Zhang Ruochen sensed before entering Qiyu should be the aura that has the same origin as the Anti-God Monument.
The last time I came here, I didn't notice this. It was purely because Mingzu or Corpse Nightmare used methods to cover up the nature of Xuding.
It was also because, at that time, his cultivation level was too low.
There is no doubt that the hidden formation inscriptions here are covering up all this.
If it hadn't been for the sound of the Sanskrit sound and the dissipation of the dark fog, even with the power of Zhang Ruochen's mind body, he still would not be able to discover the truth.
"I should have guessed earlier. Apart from the Cauldron of Nothingness, what else can be done to hide in the strange realm without being destroyed? Other substances, even the ancestors, cannot bear it. Other Jiuding, It had already been blown away by the energy of the singularity explosion, or had been shattered into pieces."
"It turns out that I have entered the Void Cauldron a long time ago! As long as the inscription is strong enough, the Void Cauldron cannot be erased. The Ming Ancestor is really terrifying."
Zhang Ruochen looked at the painting in front of him and had mixed feelings for a moment.
It is the legendary "White Stone Attunement Picture".
There are many Buddhist legends and allusions about this picture.
Some say that Kassapa Buddha sat on a white stone and enlightened all living beings; some said that Kassapa Buddha enlightened a white stone to help them attain enlightenment.
In fact, Zhang Ruochen had already guessed that the Demon, the Second Confucian Patriarch, and the Great Master might be looking for the "White Stone Attunement Diagram", so he regarded Empress Shiji as the biggest suspect.
Only now did he understand that all the rumors were wrong.
The so-called "White Stone Attunement Picture" is an image of Buddha imprinted on the Cauldron of Nothingness. The Cauldron of Nothingness is a white stone cauldron, not the legendary bronze cauldron.
on the picture.
Kassapa Buddha is sitting on the bank of the end of all "rivers" in the starry sky, wearing a cassock, with his hands clasped together, as if he is preaching. Zhang Ruochen couldn't tell whether it was in the legendary state of bones, he could only see a ball of sacred light and shadow.
In the river, a lotus flower floats.
You can't see what kind of lotus it is, you can only see the general shape of the lotus, which is extremely blurry.
"Enlightenment will be achieved on the third day, enlightenment will be achieved on the tenth day, and the moon will be missing on the sixteenth day to be reborn in the dark. The clouds, sunshine, waxing and waning are all determined. Good and evil thoughts are ultimately difficult."
"So, I took the world's delusional thoughts as a virtual soul, cast its body with the clay of origin, took my soul to paint, and cast the virtual divine cauldron to control the three ways. The poor monk spent the rest of his life and made a great wish that my Buddha will never be destroyed. , the virtual tripod will last forever.”
The rows of Sanskrit inscriptions on Buddha complement the paintings in the starry sky and are eternal.
The so-called "mud of origin" is the first pile of earth-attribute material that was born after the beginning of the world.
This pile of matter was born from nothingness, and naturally contains the attributes of nothingness.
Only this kind of material can build the Cauldron of Nothingness.
Zhang Ruochen still doesn't understand the cause and effect?
It was probably Kassapa Buddha who enlightened that lotus, making it understand human nature and understand cultivation. But I don’t know what happened next. Between good and evil, that lotus chose the latter.
It is most likely related to the Santu River and immortality.
Kassapa Buddha tried to save Him, but failed. You may even want to get rid of Him, but He has grown to the point where even Kashyapa Buddha can do nothing.
Kassapa Buddha collected the six desires of the human world and refined Mani beads in order to suppress Him.
In the end, he chose to forge a virtual cauldron and use it to suppress the Santu River.
And he used his ancestor soul to paint and used all his longevity to make great aspirations. He obviously foreseeed the future, so he left clues for future generations of monks.
This picture is not only a warning to future generations, but also a picture of sin against oneself.
Because the source of everything and all the mistakes are caused by him.
Zhang Ruochen even suspected that the Fudo Ming King already knew a little bit about it back then, so he asked the Holy Monk Xumi to go to Haishi Xingwu to find the Flower of Eternity to use as the spirit of the Fate Mirror, hoping to use the power of fate to peek into the past. and the future.
Find answers in the past and future.
Unfortunately, the Great Master probably didn't know much, and all Saint Monk Xumi found was only the seventy-two-grade lotus representing "time" and the chaos lotus representing "space".
Destiny, how can you peek at Mingzu?
Even Ming Zu couldn't do it.
The Great Master naturally ended in failure.
"It seems that Mingzu is not omnipotent. At least he was not able to erase the painting left by Kasyapa Buddha, nor was he able to destroy the Xuding."
Ming Ancestor must have wanted to erase the "White Stone Enlightenment Diagram" more than once and completely cut off his past.
It is for this reason that the painting is extremely blurry.
But this painting was painted by Kasyapa Buddha with his own soul, which is equivalent to sacrificing himself. Endless years have passed, and Mingzu has not been able to erase it.
From this we can see how powerful Kasyapa Buddha was during his lifetime, and his divine soul and will were probably one of the best in the entire history of the universe.
"The gap in the Anti-God Monument should have fallen off a long time ago. It was broken by Mingzu himself, in order to destroy the "White Stone Attunement Picture". But he discovered that even if a piece of the Xuding was knocked off, the painting would still remain intact."
"Deploying hidden formation inscriptions and covering the cauldron wall with one's own way is just to cover up all this."
"Perhaps, when I went to Taichu to practice the first-level Shinto, Kasyapa Buddha had insight into my existence, so when I came here, the Sanskrit sound sounded, and the "White Stone Attunement Diagram" automatically appeared."
"No, there is a big problem here!"
Zhang Ruochen suddenly thought of something and muttered to himself: "What a powerful existence the Ming Ancestor is. Just spreading a corner of Taoism can make the Great Demon God cultivate to the Ancestral Realm. Why should he be afraid of a painting? Why should he do everything possible to erase it? Hide it, destroy it?”
In Zhang Ruochen's opinion, Ming Zu should be fearless.
Perhaps only the massive calamities of destruction of heaven and earth can move His face.
Unless there is a secret hidden in this painting that scares Him.
Zhang Ruochen looked at the painting in the void again and discovered something strange.
Behind Kasyapa Buddha is a city gate.
It is not surprising that there is a city gate in the painting.
But if this painting was painted by an ancestor who sacrificed his soul and longevity, then nothing on the painting could be useless.
"Bi Luo Pass! Why is it Bi Luo Pass, which is far away in the wilderness?"
Just now, the entire painting flickered, and Zhang Ruochen could clearly see the three words on the city gate.
Immediately afterwards, the entire portrait seemed to use up all its energy, burned up, and turned into particles of golden light rain, flying towards Zhang Ruochen's mind body.
With every drop of golden light rain falling, Zhang Ruochen's mind becomes more solid.
Biluo Pass is an extremely remote place, and only top gods can probably know of its existence.
The so-called "Biluo Pass falls from the poor to the yellow spring" points out the location of Biluo Pass.
In the universe, there is no direction, no up, down, left, or right.
The reason why there are terms such as "Eastern Universe", "Southern Universe", "Northern Universe" and "Western Universe" but not "Upper Universe" and "Lower Universe" is because the entire heavenly universe is a flat structure.
There is a thickness, it is extremely thick, measured in light years, it is difficult for the gods to cross it.
But compared with the north-south span and east-west span of the heavenly universe, the thickness is only two-tenths.
As for the Huangquan Galaxy in the hell universe, it is like a long river, with countless stars and big worlds in the river, like grains of sand.
Why is Biluoguan divided into upper and lower places?
This is because most of the big worlds in the form of "suspended continents" in the universe are facing the same direction. The upward direction is defined as up.
Biluo Pass is like a small island hanging offshore. It is somewhere above the hell world and has already left the Yellow Spring Galaxy. It is extremely remote and can be called a wilderness.
Of a hundred gods looking for Biluo Pass, only one or two may be able to reach it.
The reason why such a remote and featureless small place can be known to people.
It's because of a legend of the Yama tribe.
Legend has it that it was at Biluoguan that the old man of life and death forged the "Bo of Life and Death".
Zhang Ruochen knew about this extremely niche place because when he was checking information on Biluozi, he found some strange things, including Biluo Pass.
It seems that he created the way of Biluo in Biluo Pass.
As for how he got to Biluo Pass with his humble cultivation in the first place, it is unknown.
It was not until later that Zhang Ruochen asked Emperor Ming about the origin of the "Sacred Iron of Creation" that he had a rough guess. Perhaps Biluozi followed the great master to Biluo Pass.
The Great Master always does things in an eclectic way. No matter how low his cultivation level, people can be friends with him, walk together, talk and laugh together.
The Divine Iron of Creation was given to Holy Monk Xumi by the Great Master, and Holy Monk Xumi passed it on to Emperor Ming in his own way.
The Divine Iron of Creation has two properties: life and death. The "Shen Yuan" made of it is a living sword that can melt the world's warriors to stop the war.
The forged "blood drop" is a death sword that sucks the blood of all living creatures in the world.
Shen Yuan and Dixue's levels have been getting stronger since they were young, as if there is no upper limit.
Zhang Ruochen was originally quite interested in Biluo Pass. If it wasn't too far away, if it wasn't too time-consuming, if it wasn't too difficult to find, he would have gone there long ago!
Now, seeing this picture left by Kasyapa Buddha has strengthened his belief that he must go to Biluo Pass.
"No, if the "White Stone Enlightenment Diagram" disappears, will the Underworld Ancestor be aware of it?"
Zhang Ruochen knew that this was a strange realm, inside the Xuding, completely isolated from the outside world and without any rules of heaven and earth. No matter how powerful the Ming Ancestor was, he would not be able to sense the changes here.
Besides, he is just a thought body, and he will not leave any trace when he comes.
But for safety reasons, Zhang Ruochen left immediately.
Next, he was going to get the Earth Cauldron, which was also the most important part of this fake death gamble.
Gambling people.
Bet on two people.
One of them is the Dark Lord.
Because before Zhang Ruochen went to see Empress Shiji, he made a deal with the Dark Lord. Otherwise, how could the Dark Lord appear in the Liuli Temple so coincidentally?
