Chapter 562: One Step Ahead

This place is Shaolin in a certain reincarnation world. If Han Guang is the "Emperor of Heaven", it is not strange that he uses special items to pull people in like Gu Xiaosang, but how can there be a Dharmakaya?

Will this not expose the secrets of the Six Paths?

Or is this Dharmakaya also a reincarnation? Or was Han Guang brought in in advance, but the other party has never left this devilish land and thought it was just a secret place?

Is this Dharmakaya a person on the Heavenly Ranking, or is he from a terrible world like Journey to the West and Conferred Gods?

Many questions surged in Meng Qi's mind, and things that seemed clear at first were foggy again.

"Abbot, do you know which Dharmakaya it is?" Meng Qi asked without thinking.

As soon as he said this, he felt that he would not get a useful answer. If Kong Wen knew or was willing to say it, he could have directly named it when he was talking before, and there was no need to use "a Dharmakaya" instead.

Kong Wen uttered a Buddhist name in a low voice: "That donor has always been hiding in the dark to preside over the formation. I can only vaguely perceive him when fighting against the formation, and I have never met him."

Sure enough... Meng Qi sighed secretly.

Although the number of Dharma bodies in his own world is limited and the scope of speculation is small, this matter involves reincarnation, and Journey to the West Conferred Gods also exist. God knows where Han Guang will get a helper from. Without any clues, there is really no clue.

Seeing Meng Qi silent, Kong Wen was concerned about Shaolin and asked, "Donor Su, what is the situation in Shaolin now?"

Meng Qi picked out the most important things and talked about them. At the end, he asked, "Abbot, what is Han Guang trying to do by impersonating you and sneaking into Shaolin? Logically speaking, after so many years, with his strength and skills, he should have succeeded long ago. Does he want to keep pretending, turn Shaolin into his pillar, and provide a public identity? He can't use the Arhat Dharmakaya, and the world is in chaos. It is impossible not to deal with other Dharmakayas. What can he hide?"

Kong Wen was also puzzled and pondered, "Donor Han knows this secret place and can come and go freely. Although the core inheritance books such as the "Yi Jin Jing" are in the core area of ​​the Ananda Sword's defense, with Donor Han's means, since he has sneaked in, as long as he is not afraid of exposing his identity, he can act suddenly. The Ananda Sword is really hard to stop..."

"Could it be that he wants to gradually refine the Ananda Sword ? His transformation secrets will definitely not be hidden from the magic soldiers. As long as they get close and make the slightest movement, they will be discovered immediately. Could it be that he is practicing the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art...”

Listening to Kongwen's doubts and analysis, Meng Qi suddenly tasted something wrong and interrupted: "Abbot, this secret place is not the secret place in the back mountain of Shaolin."

Kongwen exclaimed, slightly surprised: "But this place is completely consistent with the description of our secret book."

Meng Qi organized his words: "Abbot, it should be said that this secret place is indeed in the back mountain of Shaolin, but this Shaolin is not that Shaolin."

"I had a little adventure before, and I accidentally entered this world. I found that the terrain of Shaolin here is almost the same as our Shaolin, and it uses the ancient name of Liantai Mountain, 'Shaohua Mountain. "

Kongwen listened silently, and after a long time, he sighed: "Amitabha, I know the purpose of Mr. Han."

"I would like to hear the details!" Meng Qi's expression was lifted.

Although he had just "witnessed" the ancient saint who was "murdered for knowing too much", this matter concerned his master and junior brother, and also affected his own life, so he had to figure it out!

As a Dharma body with many years, although Kong Wen was trapped in the formation, he always had all kinds of magical powers. He could feel the calmness in Meng Qi's previous words, so he thought about it and said: "Master Su, have you ever heard of the 'Cosmic Light Fragment'?"

"No." Meng Qi said blankly.

Kong Wen understood that the escape depended on the young man in front of him, and explained in detail: "Perhaps it was a fight between powerful people, perhaps it was a change in the world, or perhaps it was other opportunities. Our world occasionally breaks. Some of these breaks are the earth splitting into several pieces, and some are the ruptures in time. Well, the future is uncertain, and what is split is a certain possibility at that time."

"Generally speaking, these fragments of cosmic light are very unstable and incomplete. Only a very small number can survive for a long time. They float in the long river of time. Only when you have realized the Dharma body and can travel through the pure lands can you find them. However, due to their sparse number and hidden location, they can only be encountered by chance. "

Meng Qi is a "good student" who has experienced all kinds of popular science. Hearing this, he draws inferences from one example: "In other words, this is the Shaolin of the 'past'?"

No wonder there is the true meaning of Ananda's sword technique of breaking the precepts, while Shaolin only has secrets!

"Well, it may be earlier. According to your previous description, the monk in the 'inducing foreign demons' array is not Bodhidharma." Kong Wen seemed very sure that he should encounter the illusion of Bodhidharma.

Meng Qi was immediately puzzled: "But there is also Shaolin on Shaohua Mountain, and the layout is very similar."

"Don't be impatient, listen to my explanation." Even though he was trapped for many years, Kong Wen was not at all anxious, and his Zen mind was really amazing.

He paused and said: "The fragments of the universe light come from our world, and there are countless connections. Although it only contains some areas, the landforms are the same, the names are the same, and even most of the people are the same when they first split."

Meng Qi was extremely horrified. If he encountered a "split", wouldn't there be another self?

At that time, would there still be the certainty and special feeling of "I am me"?

"Only when you reach a certain realm and encounter a 'split' will you not have another self. Only legends remain in the fragments of the universe light, similar items and true meaning inheritance are also the same, and many causes and effects are also the same." Kong Wen seemed to know Meng Qi's fear.

This... Suddenly, Meng Qi understood a little bit why the myths and legends of the Emperor of Heaven and the Demon Lord appeared in many reincarnation worlds!

However, those reincarnation worlds are not similar to our own world, and are very different. Without the magic of this Shaolin and that Shaolin, it is not like "Zhou Guang Fragments"!

Meng Qi felt that he was a little closer to the "truth", but he became more and more confused.

"Precisely because the powerful only leave legends, the evolution of the fragments of the universe tends to become more and more common and mundane, and only a few can transcend it on their own." Kong Wen roughly finished explaining, then changed the topic, "This place should be based on Ananda The secret realm is the core of the small fragment of light, so it mainly corresponds to Liantai Mountain."

Sure enough, it was the secret realm derived from Ananda's Pure Land... Meng Qi took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly.

"Originally speaking, after the split, the Zhouguang fragment has become an independent world, self-contained and not affected by our world. However, there are always exceptions. After all, it is inextricably linked. If there is power at the level of Dharmakaya, it can Through this connection, a mark is left in the Zhouguang fragment, but not much power remains, unless there is a realm of ancient power." Kong Wencihe smiled and said, "Did you see something when you entered the secret realm here? There are eight words on the door, 'Love, justice, kindness, don't enter this door', but it doesn't have the light of Buddha and tyranny, it's more like a warning."

"Yes!" Meng Qi reacted very quickly, "These eight characters on the door of our back mountain have the power to seal?"

"Shaolin is a sect with Dharmakaya. It has many Dharmakaya magical skills. The various arrangements must be in harmony with the Dharmakaya-level formation, so it also indirectly affects the choice of monks here?"

"The same goes for the traces of gossip that suddenly appeared before... Oops, someone has entered the secret place behind the mountain!"

And it’s still at Dharmakaya level!

Kong Wen was not in a hurry: "Don't worry too much. In the past, Patriarch Bodhidharma could only reach the sixth floor and obtain the third form of the divine palm, and could not climb to the top. In today's world, it is probably even more difficult. , otherwise Donor Han wouldn’t have gone to great lengths to hide in Shaolin, maybe he just recently found a way to open the seal of Patriarch Bodhidharma.”

"The seal of Patriarch Bodhidharma?" Meng Qi repeated subconsciously.

It would be better to seal this weird and dangerous place.

Kong Wen misunderstood it as something else and sighed: "Although there is a divine palm hidden here, it can also strengthen one's own inner demons. Patriarch Bodhidharma did not check it when he first entered, and was lurked by the inner demons. He could not get rid of it until he achieved Dharmakaya. And It became stronger and stronger. Later, he found the secret method, found the object of sustenance, and forcibly cut out the inner demon. The inner demon was similar to his strength and turned into "Evil Bodhidharma". After the two sides fought, the "Pure Land of Kasyapa" was shattered. , the demon body died, and Patriarch Bodhidharma’s life span was shortened and he passed away prematurely.”

"Before his death, he left a seal, locked the stone door, and exiled Ananda's Pure Land in the boundless void. Therefore, the abbots of the past generations could only know about this place from the secret book. No one can find the secret door and enter here. Now that the stone door has reappeared, most of them It’s the handiwork of Donor Han.”

It turns out that the truth behind the battle between Patriarch Bodhidharma and the "Great Demon" was like this... No wonder there are undiscovered secret passages in Shaolin with the Dharmakaya's "clairvoyance"... Meng Qi's various doubts in the past were once again explained.

Kong Wen continued: "Master Bodhidharma said that the top of the mountain might contain a great secret or something better than the third divine palm. Donor Han was afraid that he had climbed to the top of this fragment of Zhouguang and discovered the clues, so he deliberately planned it. Want to enter a true pure land with unique items and secrets.”

"There are many dharma bodies in the world, but Donor Guanglu is not as strong as Donor Han, so he chose to fake his identity and do long-term things."

The power of the formation within the Eternal Light Fragments is definitely lower than that of the real Ananda Pure Land.

Meng Qi suddenly said: "That's why he didn't dare to provoke Ananda Dao, for fear of being noticed by the divine soldiers and failing."

"So he has never been able to see the "Yi Jin Jing" and other temple-suppressing exercises, so he can only find other ways."

"So, he is not free in Shaolin. He doesn't just take action when he wants to, or leave when he wants to. There must be a suitable reason and cover-up."

Kong Wen did not feel happy, but sighed: "But he can influence the monks."

"Donor Han has outstanding demonic skills and can subtly tempt people to fall. Wu Jing was originally just Fang Zheng, but now he is afraid that Fang Zheng is too far-fetched and has even entered the path of demons. His treatment of you is in line with the temple rules and there is no problem, but he has lost the mercy of our Buddha. I mean, you should be sent to the stupa and face the wall for ten years to get rid of your sins."

It would be better to drive me out of the door... The corner of Meng Qi's mouth twitched.

…………

In the true Ananda Pure Land.

Wang Siyuan looked at the broken Ananda wood carving in front of him, with a rare gloomy expression, but more of a mad look, and kept whispering:

"Unexpected...interesting..."

He looked at the sixth floor again and found that the formation was complete and there were no other abnormalities, so he immediately turned around and left.

"No, not going up?" Duan Rui asked confused.

Wang Siyuan laughed suddenly: "The Ananda wood carving in the fifth layer of the array was shattered by the backlash of cause and effect. Without its assistance, and Luo Shu, with my current state, there is no way I can cross the sea and pass through the sixth layer. "

The Wang family sent two masters to assist Wang Siyuan this time, and together with Luo Shu, they had no doubts about getting the Ananda wood carving, but something strange happened.

It turns out that it failed... Then why are you laughing? Duan Rui cursed secretly.

"How could this happen?" Wang Bingning frowned.

Wang Siyuan laughed so hard that he vomited blood: "The cause and effect of great power is the only one. There is someone in a certain fragment of the universe who is one step ahead of us!"
