Chapter 1991: Enlightenment on the Stone Tablet

As Lord Da Ku slowly spoke, everyone present fell silent.

"Fellow Taoists, please be patient and listen to the poor monk explain the detailed rules. There are three rounds of this magical performance, and the venue for the first round is the 'Pagoda Peak' in front of us."

"I believe that many fellow Taoists know that the top of Futu Peak is a forbidden area of ​​our sect. Only the sect leader and the selected brothers can enter, and outsiders are never allowed to intrude. Therefore, the ugly words of the poor monk are ahead, wait. Fellow Taoists who will participate in the performance, please be careful not to go up to the halfway point of the mountain, otherwise you will enter a forbidden area, so don’t blame the poor monk for being unkind!”

What he said was very serious. Everyone nodded after hearing this, and some people responded loudly: "Senior, don't worry! We all know what's appropriate, and we will never go overboard."

"good."

Venerable Great Suffering nodded and said: "When choosing a Buddhist son, the cultivation of supernatural powers is the second most important thing. The most important thing is Buddha nature. People without Buddha nature cannot integrate with the 'Pudu Golden Wheel', so this The first round of testing is your Buddha nature.”

Having said this, he turned slightly sideways and pointed to the hillside of Pagoda Peak.

"Look, there are nine levels of hillside starting from the foot of the mountain. There are hundreds of stone tablets standing side by side on each level of the hillside. The inscriptions recorded on them are the understandings of Buddhism by the eminent monks of the past generations in Luotian Mountain. What you have to do is to go Read these inscriptions.”

"It should be noted that whether you can understand the inscriptions has nothing to do with your cultivation, but only your Buddha nature. And because there are thousands of people and different Buddha natures in all living beings, you only need to choose the stone tablet that suits you best to understand it. That’s it.”

After listening to Venerable Da Ku's introduction, everyone present had different expressions.

Someone asked: "There are hundreds of people participating in the magic machine performance. If they can all understand the inscription, will they advance to the second round together?"

"No."

Venerable Da Ku shook his head and said: "These stone tablets were left by our senior masters in Luotian Mountain. The profound mysteries of Buddhism contained in them are impossible for even a poor monk to fully understand. When you comprehend in front of the stone tablets, every time you understand something If successful, a ball of Buddha's light will appear on the head, three balls of Buddha's light will be considered a small success, seven balls of Buddha's light will be considered a great success, and ten balls of Buddha's light will be considered perfect. Finally, the top thirty will be ranked based on the number of Buddha's lights and advance to the second round."

"I see."

After hearing this, everyone nodded secretly.

Venerable Da Ku added at this time: "The difficulty of these inscriptions is different. Every time you climb a hillside, the difficulty of the inscriptions will double, so the number of Buddha's lights must also be doubled. For example, if you are on the third If you comprehend five clusters of Buddha's light on the second level, it is equivalent to comprehending ten clusters of Buddha's light on the first level, and so on."

"There are still such rules!"

Many people in the field expressed emotion, and someone shouted: "In other words, if you want to stand out, you must understand the high-level monuments as much as possible?"

"good."

Lord Da Ku nodded.

It is not difficult to understand this truth. Even if the low-level stone tablets realize Dzogchen, they are not as good as the high-level stone tablets.

For example, if you realize two clusters of Buddha's light on the fourth level, it is equivalent to four clusters on the third level, eight clusters on the second level, and sixteen clusters on the first level.

Therefore, if you want to pass the assessment, you must go to a high level to understand the stone tablet as much as possible.

"Okay, the poor monk has made the rules very clear. Those who participate in the magic performance are invited to gather on the mountain road. The time limit is one stick of incense. After one stick of incense, no matter whether they have enlightened the Buddha's light or not, they must leave. "Pagoda Peak."

As soon as Venerable Da Ku finished speaking, many people took the initiative to step forward and walked to the mountain path of Futu Peak.

Liang Yan looked back at the people behind him and said calmly: "You guys can go too."

"yes."

Li Xiran, Bai Qingruo, and Cang Yueming all bowed to him and then walked quickly towards the mountain path. Only Xiong Yuer walked slowly at the back.

"Xiao Yue'er." Liang Yan suddenly called her.

"ah?"

Xiong Yue'er didn't know why, so she turned around and looked at Liang Yan with doubtful eyes.

Liang Yan said: "Although it is not dangerous to understand Buddhism, your cultivation level is too low, and most of the inscriptions on this mountain are left by enlightened monks. Once you find that you cannot understand the Dharma thoroughly, you must get out immediately. Don't Be persistent in it, otherwise it will hurt your inner organs and shake the foundation of your soul!”

"oh."

Xiong Yue'er listened to a large part of what he said, but nodded in understanding, not sure whether she heard it or not.

"This silly bear!"

Liang Yan knew her very well. Looking at her like this, he knew that she would not listen to him. He cursed in his heart and thought: "I hope she won't be obsessed with it, otherwise it will affect her future cultivation. Wait." But if things go wrong, I will take action to pull her off the pagoda peak even if I don’t care about this old face.”

Having made up his mind, Liang Yan said no more.

"Then Master, am I leaving?" Xiong Yue'er scratched his head.

"Go." Liang Yan waved his sleeves and let her go.

"Um."

Xiong Yue'er turned around and left, and soon stood on the mountain path of Futu Peak like everyone else.

Her appearance immediately attracted the attention of many people.

"Am I right? Is that a bear spirit?"

"Can bears also comprehend Buddhism?"

"Wait a minute, she still seems to be in the Golden Core realm, haha, she just broke through to the Golden Core realm!"

"Isn't this a joke? There are a total of 366 people participating in the Shenji performance, 365 of them are at the Tongxuan realm or above, and she is the only one at the Golden Core realm."

"I think she is delusional!"

Everyone was talking, obviously amused by Xiong Yue'er.

Liang Yan heard it all, but he didn't take it to heart and didn't bother to care.

"Xiao Yue'er, just do your own thing, don't worry about what others think." Liang Yan whispered.

"Yeah."

Xiong Yue'er nodded heavily.

She was actually a little flustered. Although she had followed Wuxin for many years and had seen many big scenes, she had never stood in front of everyone like now and accepted those scrutinizing eyes.

"I am the disciple of Master, I am the disciple of Master, I am the disciple of Master! Important things must be said three times! Xiong Yue'er, there are so many people watching here, you can't embarrass Master!"

Thinking of this, Xiong Yue'er clenched her fists and pursed her lips, looking like she was trying her best.

Although the other cultivators standing with her were also excited, most of them looked calm, and some even talked and laughed, but she looked out of place.

"Haha, the bear spirit is cute."

"Come on, you are the most outrageous bear I have ever seen!"

Slowly, some casual cultivators in the crowd began to cheer Xiong Yue'er.

At this time, the disciples of Luo Tianshan brought up a sandalwood table with a small bronze tripod on the table, and a newly lit incense stick was inserted in the tripod.

"The first round of the divine machine performance is now officially starting!"

Although the voice of Fu Hu Zun was not loud, everyone could hear it clearly.

Swoosh!

Almost in an instant, everyone on the mountain road ran up, aiming at those stone tablets.

Xiong Yue'er reacted a beat slower, and when she started climbing, someone in front of her had already reached the first row of stone tablets.

These people almost didn't even look at them, and directly crossed the first layer of the slope and continued to climb higher.

Only when they reached the second layer of the slope did a few cultivators stop and carefully study the stone tablets, trying to comprehend the essence of Buddhism.

And on the third layer, most people stopped.

It's not that they don't want to climb higher, but starting from this level, the Buddhist teachings on the stone tablet are already very profound, and it takes a lot of time to comprehend them.

The time for comprehending the Buddhist teachings is limited, only a short stick of incense. If you waste too much time on the higher level without gaining anything, then the remaining time may not be enough for you to comprehend the lower level. In this way, the first round score is zero, and you will definitely be eliminated.

Therefore, most people choose to stay on the third level, intending to comprehend a stone tablet as much as they can first, so that at least there is a bottom line, and if there is enough time, they will challenge a higher level.

At this time, Xiong Yue'er also reacted, knowing that time was running out and could not tolerate her slow temper. She immediately took a big step and climbed up along the mountain path, and soon arrived in front of the first level of stone tablets.

She did not continue to climb up, but took a general look at the stone tablets on this level, quickly chose one of them, sat down quietly, and began to comprehend the Buddhist teachings contained in the inscriptions.

This move also made everyone present laugh and cry.

"Stopped at the first level? It seems that this bear demon is aiming to be the last one!"

"What else? She is just a little demon in the Jindan realm. Do you still have hope for her?"

"That's right! Xiong Gui knows himself, and it seems that this bear demon is not stupid either!"

"Haha! Why does such a serious scene make me feel like laughing?"

The crowd below was talking a lot, but Liang Yan's face was calm, without any fluctuations.

Wu Xin stretched out his hand and pinched his arm, and whispered: "These people look down on our Yue'er."

"No problem."

Liang Yan whispered: "Silly Bear has nine-orifice relics, and her future achievements will not be low. This time, let her experience it. A little setback can also hone her character."

"Hmph, you are a master who can keep calm!"

Wu Xin rolled her eyes at him, then turned her gaze to Futu Peak, looking at Xiong Yue'er who was trying to comprehend in front of the stone tablet, with a look of concern in her eyes.

In fact, the reason why she took in Xiong Yue'er and guided her practice was Liang Yan.

At that time, Liang Yan was besieged by the ancestors of the three major sects in Nanchui. It was Xiong Yue'er who used her own talent and Wuxin to rescue Liang Yan. Later, Liang Yan crossed the sea and left. Xiong Yue'er always followed Wuxin and regarded her as his master's wife. The two gradually developed a deep relationship.

In a sense, Wuxin has already regarded her as his own daughter.

"Xiao Yue'er, you can't damage your Taoism. If this really happens, I will poke out the eyes of those who laughed at you and dig out their tongues, so that they can never make a sound again!"

Thinking of this, Wuxin glanced at the crowd and secretly memorized the appearance of those who mocked him.

"Huh?"

In the crowd, many cultivators felt a chill on their backs. They were still laughing just now, but they kept silent the next moment.

"Daoyou, what's wrong with you?" someone asked next to him.

"Nothing, just a little bit scary, I don't know why."

"Well, have you been too depressed recently? Don't worry, although the entire Antarctic Fairyland is shrouded in the blood evil formation, this is Luotian Mountain, and the golden light of Buddhism naturally restrains those blood evil spirits, so there is no need to worry here."

"Yeah, that's right." The man nodded, not doubting him.

As if sensing Wuxin's murderous intention, the crowd temporarily quieted down.

But this silence only lasted for a short moment, and soon a commotion broke out again.

"Look!"

Someone shouted, and everyone's eyes were drawn to it.

On the first layer of the hillside, a Buddha light gradually condensed, and then turned into a fist-sized golden cloud, floating above Xiong Yue'er's head!

"No way? She realized it so quickly?"

"Really?"

The voices of discussion came again at the foot of the mountain.

You know, from the time Xiong Yue'er sat down to now, only three breaths of time have passed, and the Buddha light appeared above her head.

Looking around, among the hundreds of monks in the entire Futu Peak, no more than twenty have realized the Buddha light.

But this is not over yet. Xiong Yue'er's head is like a firework explosion, and groups of Buddha light emerge one after another. After a moment, ten groups of Buddha light float above her head at the same time, like ten auspicious clouds, and the sound of Buddhist chanting can be heard faintly.

"Ten groups of Buddha's light, great perfection! She actually realized the realm of great perfection!"

"Impossible! This is a stone tablet left by the monk of Luotian Mountain. How can a mere bear spirit realize it?"

"And this is too fast. Look at other people. The most they can realize is three groups of Buddha's light. Most of them only have one group."

Many people at the foot of the mountain showed an expression of disbelief, but a few people were thoughtful, looking at Xiong Yue'er again and again, as if they wanted to find something.

Even the attention of the four venerables Da Ku, Xuan Ye, Fu Hu, and Fu Hai was attracted, and their eyes fell on Xiong Yue'er.

"What a bear spirit! I didn't expect that the monsters and monsters also have the seeds of Buddhism." Venerable Xuan Ye nodded slightly.

"Haha, all living beings, all kinds of things in the world, our Buddhist sect treats them equally. Don't be arrogant, otherwise you will fall behind." Venerable Da Ku said slowly.

"Brother is right."

The other three venerables put their hands together and bowed their heads in response.

At this moment, Xiong Yueer stood up from the stone tablet.

Almost everyone looked at her, and the bear spirit stopped for a moment, then took a step, and walked to a higher level with a determined look.

"It should be a fluke, right? After all, she comprehended the first level of the stone tablet, and some of the Buddhist teachings on it may be relatively simple, and she took advantage of it." Someone whispered.

"It is possible, it depends on how many groups of Buddha light she can comprehend in the second level of the stone tablet."

There were whispers at the foot of the mountain, but Xiong Yueer seemed to be oblivious.

She reached the second level, glanced at the stone tablet, and did not choose to stay, but took a step and continued to walk up.
