Chapter 1579 The Catastrophe Is Coming
Seeing these four ancient seal characters, Xiao Lin was slightly stunned. He did not expect that he would unexpectedly find the ruins of an ancient monk's cave in this barren mountain.
The reason why he judged that this cave was very old was that these ancient seal characters were not only very old, but also very old and mottled. If you did not look carefully, you could hardly see these four characters.
Xiao Lin led Xiao Hei and walked into the cave. The cave was very dry and there was no damp and cold air. After walking about a hundred feet, the front suddenly opened up. It turned out to be a large stone room. There were some stone tables, stone chairs, and stone beds in the stone room. There were also two shelves carved on the rock wall next to it.
Apart from this, there was nothing.
Xiao Lin was a little disappointed when he saw this. The expectation he had originally had disappeared in an instant. It seemed that this was just an abandoned cave of an ancient monk, or the relics of the ancient monks in it had been emptied long ago.
Xiao Lin didn't care too much. After all, such things also require fate. Besides, his purpose was not to explore the secluded places, but to find a secret place to comprehend the Buddhist mysteries on the golden bone relic, so as to improve his realm of withered heart and quiet Zen. Of course, there was another purpose, which was to improve the realm of the Holy Spirit Burning Heaven.
Now his mana has been restored. After more than a hundred years of travel, both his realm and the mana in his body have been close to perfection. Therefore, he plans to practice hard in seclusion here and take the opportunity to break through the bottleneck of the late stage of the tribulation.
After a simple arrangement, Xiao Lin arranged several magic arrays around the cave as usual. With his current realm and the arrays, even if a Mahayana cultivator takes action personally, it will take at least several days to break through.
After doing all this, Xiao Lin began a long and boring retreat in the cave.
Years passed quickly, and the mountains and forests outside also changed with the changing seasons, constantly changing different scenery.
But in this inconspicuous little valley, except for a deep pool emitting cold air, there is nothing in it, it is very desolate. Even some wild beasts in the mountains will not come to such a place, let alone intelligent creatures.
A thousand years have passed.
A thousand years is already dozens of generations for ordinary mortals, and even the vicissitudes of life have undergone great changes in the past thousand years.
Many major events have also happened in the Lonely Sun Continent. A thousand years ago, the Holy Ancestor Wu Lin appeared out of nowhere and fought a battle with several top Buddhist masters of the White Buddha Temple. The White Buddha Temple was destroyed. Of course, the outside world did not know that the biggest reason for the destruction of the White Buddha Temple was actually Xiao Lin.
Neither the White Buddha Temple nor the Buddhist holy land of the Great Bodhi Temple publicized the matter, so the Holy Ancestor Wu Lin naturally took the blame.
But the Wulin Saint Ancestor didn't care about these. He destroyed Fayu Temple 900 years ago, destroyed Weituo Temple 800 years ago, and even destroyed Tianlong Temple, which ranked 10th among the 100 upper houses 600 years ago.
Not only that, the Wulin Saint Ancestor also destroyed dozens of sects of the Demon Sect, and integrated these dozens of sects to establish a brand-new Demon Sect-True Demon Palace.
The emergence of the True Demon Palace made the entire Guyang Continent turbulent. Even the several Demon Sect giants, after fighting openly and secretly with the True Demon Palace in private, also stopped fighting and began to keep a low profile.
Especially the Luoxue Zhishengzu, who was known as the first person in the Demon Sect, was not only the leader of the Killing Demon Sect, but also comprehended the Killing Rule, one of the ten major rules. Moreover, tens of thousands of years ago, he had already condensed a half-demon body. He was only one step away from tearing the void and ascending to the True Demon Realm.
But even this Luoxue Supreme Saint Ancestor seemed to have disappeared. When facing the killing of the demon cultivators by the Wulin Saint Ancestor, he seemed to have never seen it. This made many demon cultivators even doubt that even this Luoxue Supreme Saint Ancestor was not the opponent of the Wulin Saint Ancestor.
After a thousand years, the eighty-one demon soul banners have been re-refined by the Wulin Saint Ancestor, and they have become one, turning into nine sides. Each side is an eighth-level holy weapon, which is equivalent to an eighth-level fairy treasure. Moreover, the nine sides are combined into one to arrange the Ten Thousand Demons Formation, which can be said to be killing immortals and killing Buddhas.
Its power has gradually surpassed the first demon cultivator Luoxue Supreme Saint Ancestor.
As for the Buddhist sect, what surprised countless Buddhist sects was that in the face of the mass killing of the Wulin Supreme Saint Ancestor, the Great Bodhi Temple never made any statement. Even when the Tianlong Temple was destroyed six hundred years ago, the Great Bodhi Temple did not show up.
This made many people feel surprised and puzzled. The entire Gu Ri Continent and countless forces became quiet.
After destroying the Tianlong Temple, the Holy Ancestor Wu Lin also stagnated and closed himself off in the gate of the True Demon Palace. The entire Gu Ri Continent once again ushered in peace.
Only the cultivators with a slightly higher realm knew that this was a storm coming. The entire Gu Ri Continent was likely to face a major reshuffle. The Buddhist sect, the demon sect, and the Holy Ancestor Wu Lin seemed to have become the third force beyond the two sects.
The Great Bodhi Temple was located in the west of the Gu Ri Continent, entrenched in the Jinyang Mountains. The Jinyang Mountains were a huge mountain range that stretched for more than 10 million miles. This was also the core of the Jinyang Mountains. The mountains extended to the surrounding areas, and the area they crossed fully occupied the land of the two domains.
At the center of the Jinyang Mountains are hundreds of magnificent peaks seven or eight thousand feet high. However, these peaks are all covered by densely packed Buddhist temples. On top of each magnificent peak is a branch of the Mahabodhi Temple. Such a branch , it is said that there are dozens of them, covering an area of about tens of thousands of miles, and outside this core area of tens of thousands of miles, there are densely packed Buddhist kingdoms, probably hundreds of them. These Buddhist kingdoms are all large The Merit Pool of Bodhi Temple.
Countless good men and women chant sutras and worship the Buddha every day, and their massive power of faith is continuously fed into the Mahabodhi Temple through the countless pagodas built in the country, supporting the top Buddhist and Taoist monks in the Mahabodhi Temple.
This power alone brings with it a great sense of oppression.
The Great Bodhi Temple is the core of Buddhism in Guri Continent, with the three major temples of Bodhi Upper Court, Middle Court and Lower Court as the core, respectively occupying the three main peaks of the Jinyang Mountains.
Within tens of thousands of miles, the sound of chanting scriptures resounded through the sky, and the golden light floating in countless Buddhist temples actually condensed into a thick layer of golden auspicious clouds in the nine heavens, layer upon layer, extending to the sky.
Among the three main peaks, in one of the temples, in a main hall, there is a huge lotus platform. On the lotus platform, sitting cross-legged, a skinny old monk with white eyebrows, his face is covered with wrinkles, and his eyes are closed. Sitting upright, there was no breath coming out of his body, just like a dry tree trunk.
And below, on both sides, there are rows of lotus terraces that are several circles smaller. On the lotus terraces, there are also famous Buddhist monks sitting cross-legged. Some of them look very young, and some of them are middle-aged men. , some are old men in their fifties, some are handsome, and some are extremely ugly.
But in the entire hall, you could hear a needle drop, but there was no sound, and no one was chanting sutras or chanting Buddha's name.
Here, it seems that time has stopped, and I cannot feel the passage of time. I don’t know how long it has passed. The white-browed old monk sitting cross-legged on the huge lotus platform slowly opened his eyes. As his eyes opened, a trace of Huge energy radiated out of the gas, and at the same time, its eyes seemed to be able to see through everything in the world, twinkling with two golden vortexes.
"Amitabha."
The moment the white-browed old monk opened his eyes, everyone around him shouted the Buddha's name. The sound of the Buddha's call seemed not loud, but it penetrated the hall and echoed in the sky.
"See Lord Buddha."
The white-browed old monk nodded slowly, and then an old voice sounded from his mouth: "Qing Huan, has there been any unusual movement in the modron recently?"
The first young monk on his left, who looked to be in his twenties, stood up hurriedly after hearing this. He first saluted and then said: "Back to Lord Buddha, since a thousand years ago, there will be real demons in the magic tomb every once in a while. The emergence of evil spirits, especially in recent years, has become more and more frequent. It seems that the devil will make a comeback, and our Buddhist sect will also encounter disaster. "
Hearing this, the white-browed old monk seemed to nodded in agreement and said: "The true demon soul suppressed under the Demon Tomb is the remnant soul of an ancient true demon in the true demon world. Once it is born, as long as it swallows enough soul spirit , has restored its fighting strength during his lifetime, and our Buddha Sect is afraid that we will encounter a huge disaster. "
After hearing this, many people from the Buddhist sect below showed expressions of horror, and many even looked sad.
"Lord Buddha, is there any way to solve this problem?" Another strong monk in his forties asked with his hands clasped together.
Others also cast their eyes on the white-browed old monk. The white-browed old monk in front of them, whose name is Hui'an, is one of the highest-ranking Buddha masters in the Buddhist sect. He is in charge of the lower courtyard of the Mahabodhi Temple. The first seat of the House of Commons.
As for the Buddhist monks here, the ones with the worst realms are also those in the realm of the Four Fruitions. Less than half of them are the Great Sun Buddha and the Great Sun Bodhisattva, especially Qing Huan, who is the direct disciple of the Lord Buddha and is also the lower courtyard of the Mahabodhi Temple. , the most promising candidate to succeed Hui'an and become the new Lord Buddha in ten thousand years. His realm has reached the realm of the Great Sun Buddha ten thousand years ago, and he has also understood the rule of power, one of the ten rules. , and even cultivated the golden body of the Buddhist sect to a state of great perfection, the six-armed dharma, and the rules of coordination. Even Lord Hui'an Buddha is only slightly better than him. He is also the current protector of the lower courtyard of the Mahabodhi Temple. First seat.
Lord Hui'an Buddha glanced at the expectant eyes around him, shook his head slowly, sighed and said: "Demon tribulation is an unavoidable catastrophe in the spiritual world. Among the so-called three catastrophes of heaven, earth and man, human tribulation lasts for countless years. This calamity happened in the Holy Moon Continent before, causing the human race on the Holy Moon Continent to be almost extinct. Even after many years, it still has not returned to its peak state. The secret of heaven is unpredictable, and this Lord Buddha did not expect that. The devil actually came to the Lonely Sun Continent, and he must be determined to capture his remaining devil soul."
After a pause, he continued: "Fayu Temple was destroyed nine hundred years ago, Wei Tuo Temple was destroyed eight hundred years ago, and even Tianlong Temple, which ranked tenth among the top hundred temples of our Buddhist sect, was destroyed six hundred years ago."
"Lord Buddha, are we just going to let this demon grow stronger? Why don't we take the initiative to attack? With the current strength of our Buddha Sect, if we come out in force, even if the real demon from the real demon world comes to the spiritual world, it will end in hatred. Why be afraid of a mere remaining true demon soul?"
Upon hearing this, Lord Hui'an Buddha waved his hand and said, "How can things be so simple? The Holy Ancestor of Luoxue has already warned us at the Great Bodhi Temple that as long as we attack the True Demon Palace, she will join hands to burn the witches and kill the demons." The Holy Ancestor Ye Liangda gathers all the power of the devil to fight against us. "
As soon as these words came out, there were bursts of exclamations from all around, and all the Buddhist disciples showed shocked expressions.
They knew very well the power of the words of the Buddha Hui'an. Luo Xue, Fen Wu and Jiang Ye were the three great demons of the Demonic Path today. Among them, Luo Xue was the leader, and they almost controlled more than 90% of the resources and strength of the Demonic Path. It was rumored that these three demons had always been at odds with each other. Even tens of thousands of years ago, they had fought each other and had a melee. But it was these three demons that created a delicate balance for the forces of the Demonic Path, because once any of the three great saints suppressed the other, the third would take action, so the forces of the Demonic Path formed a three-legged tripod, and no one could do anything to anyone.
At the same time, some top Buddhist monks also knew that among the three great demons, Luo Xue's Saint Ancestor was the strongest. If he faced any of Fen Wu and Jiang Ye alone, he could suppress the other party, and even defeat and win.
But if he faced both of them at the same time, he would only lose.
Of course, the three great demons also have a time to unite. That is, once the Buddhist sect invades the demon path on a large scale, the three great saints will communicate privately and join forces to deal with the Buddhist sect. Therefore, for nearly hundreds of thousands of years, the Buddhist and demon paths have maintained a delicate balance.
But the appearance of the Wulin Saint Patriarch broke all this. The Wulin Saint Patriarch sacrificed and refined the Demon Soul Banner. After a thousand years of fighting, the eighty-one Demon Soul Banners were forcibly refined into nine eighth-level holy weapons. If he went one step further and refined these nine eighth-level holy weapons into one ninth-level holy weapon, coupled with the terrible strength of the Wulin Saint Patriarch himself, I am afraid that the Great Bodhi Temple will encounter an unprecedented catastrophe.
Especially after the Wulin Saint Patriarch appeared, the Great Bodhi Temple and the demon tomb suppressed at the bottom of the mountain began to stir. Every few years, the real demon energy would burst out, and there would be a roar at the bottom of the mountain. At this time, many monks in the Great Bodhi Temple would use Buddhism to bless the demon-suppressing and law-protecting formation to prevent the remnant soul of the demon suppressed in the demon tomb from re-emerging.
Combining the performance of the three most holy ancestors, Luoxue, Fenwu and Jiangye, Buddha Hui'an has guessed that this suddenly appearing Wulin Saint Ancestor is likely related to the demon of the True Demon Realm whose demon soul was split in ancient times.
It was precisely because of the warnings of the three most holy ancestors that the Buddhist sect did not take action, even when the three upper houses were destroyed, it remained restrained. ()
