Chapter 385: Vairocana Sword Sutra
"You can't say that."
The old man who was leading the donkey pointed at the handsome boy beside him and said, "Although Shanhui is young, his Buddhist practice is even more powerful than that of the Buddha Dipankara on Mount Lingshan."
Everyone didn't believe it.
The old man and the young man went straight up the mountain without explaining.
Everyone prepared to go down the mountain directly.
"What can a little brat do? It's better to save your energy and wait until the disciples of Lingshan have time to move those rocks away. Then we will go up the mountain to worship."
Suddenly, the crowd dispersed and a monk jumped out. His body was covered with feces and urine and emitted a foul stench. Wherever he went, everyone avoided him.
The monk chased after the old man and the young man regardless of anything.
"Some people really believe it."
Everyone shook their heads and left with a smile.
Not long after they walked, a loud noise suddenly arose.
"Boom~"
Everyone's expression changed, and they looked up the mountain road, where rubble kept rolling down.
"Could it be~"
A certain thought arose in their minds, and their feet moved upwards involuntarily.
Not far away, we saw the mountain path blocked by fallen rocks.
There were three people standing in the front, one old, one young, and the ascetic.
At this moment, the boy was making strange marks, he put his hands together and made a sword seal, blessing himself, which stayed briefly on his forehead, shoulders, heart, and top of his head.
Then the sword seal changes: the two middle fingers are straight up, with the first joints bent and the heads pressed together like a sword; the two thumbs are placed in the palms, with the tips of the two thumbs bent and pressed together.
Recite the mantra: "Nammo Samman Dom Tuo Nan Om~"
When the seal is completed, the Buddha’s light shines upon the body and the divine power becomes extraordinary.
"Moko Seal!"
The boy did not speak, but the name of this seal suddenly appeared in everyone's mind.
"This seal is called the Maha Mudra. When one makes this seal, he will receive the blessings of the Buddha."
Then, Shanhui used the Moka Seal to scatter large pieces of rocks.
The monk behind him followed suit, imitating the boy's method of making seals and chanting mantras. The moment the seals were made, he felt a warmth enveloping his whole body, as if he was surrounded by warmth, and an incomparable feeling of peace rose from his heart.
"Blessings from the Buddha! So that's how it is."
Then he also threw the Moko Seal towards the gravel in front.
The faces of the onlookers all changed drastically: "What kind of magic is this? It is so powerful that it does not require any magic power. Just chant the mantra and it can mobilize the spirit!"
It’s not that the people have no cultivation, but there is great suppression in Mount Sumeru. The moment they set foot on Mount Sumeru, they become like mortals.
Only the celestial immortal realm can counteract the suppression of Mount Sumeru on cultivation.
That's why they couldn't do anything about the rocks blocking their way and had to go down the mountain.
Seeing this wonderful mark at this moment, they all wanted to try it out. They tried to imitate the mark, but they stumbled and couldn't recite the true words.
"Nammo Samman Dom Tuo Nan Om~"
The monk, who was covered in the stink of feces and urine, came over and reminded him.
Everyone followed suit and used this method one after another. Blessed by the Buddha's light, they blasted out the Moka Seal, and large pieces of rocks were instantly broken up.
The way up the mountain was cleared.
The crowd surrounded an old man and a young boy and went up the stairs.
In the air, Ananda's heart was filled with shock and fear. He had never seen such a method before.
This kind of mantra was able to mobilize the spirit of heaven and earth, as if the words were spoken and the law followed. Ananda didn't believe it and suspected that it was an illusion, but the rocks were really cleared away, it couldn't be faked.
He tried to make the Moka mudra, chanted the mantra, and the mudra was completed in an instant.
Ananda seemed to see a golden body of Buddha standing tall, emitting light in his mind and blessing him.
His cultivation level is at the Arhat realm, which is equivalent to the Taoist celestial immortal realm. His understanding of this method is more profound than those below.
"This is the true scripture!"
Ananda's voice trembled, and he was even more shocked than when he saw the two saints from the West.
Just when he was frightened, he felt the call from the temple.
He returned to the temple. When the monk who was monitoring Mount Xumi saw Ananda, he immediately scolded him, "Ananda, you are a person who is always causing trouble but can't do anything good. I asked you to kill the old man and the young boy, but you resorted to these tricks of moving mountains and rocks! You let the old man and the young boy perform those tricks and polluted the pure land of Lingshan Mountain."
"The boy's technique is not simple, it is the true scripture."
Ananda hurriedly explained that he was about to make the Maha Seal to show it to the monks.
A burst of powerful energy suddenly attacked him, causing him to stagger.
"You have also been bewitched by that old man and young boy. It is really true that you are more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything!"
The supervisory monk looked disdainful and said, "Go and face the wall for a hundred years. We don't need you to serve here anymore. Let Brother Jiaye come here."
Ananda felt bitter in his heart, lowered his eyebrows and said: "Yes."
Ananda went to invite Kasyapa.
Like Ananda, Kashyapa was demoted to the lowest level disciple and was sent around by others because he spoke up for Ananda.
Ananda knew that the old man and the young boy who possessed the true scripture were definitely not ordinary people.
Kashyapa didn't know the whole story. If he really listened to the supervisory monk and made things difficult, he might offend the person behind the scenes.
Thinking of this, Ananda informed Kasyapa of his discovery and asked him to be cautious and not to cause trouble, as he would surely be blamed.
"Brother, you have the intention. I know what to do."
Kasyapa nodded.
"Brother, you don't have to take risks for those monks. When you and I were in high positions, those gatekeeper monks always came to curry favor with us, just because currying favor with us can bring them benefits. Now that you and I are in trouble, they treat us as grass and bully us. If the person who comes has an extraordinary background and we two brothers get into trouble, those monks will definitely not choose to stand by and watch. They will only stand by you and me with their fangs bared, waiting to eat our flesh and blood after you and I die to increase our cultivation."
Ananda was worried that Kasyapa would be soft-hearted, so he tried to comfort him again.
Jiaye nodded and said, "Brother, don't worry. The current Mount Xumi is no longer the Mount Xumi of the Two Saints. The Buddha Dipankara has nothing to do with us. You and I only have the cultivation of Arhats, but not the Arhat fruition. It is really unfair. The best policy for us is to protect ourselves."
Afterwards, Kasyapa went to the supervisory monks and received the same order, asking him to kill the old man and the young boy and not let them cause any more trouble.
Kasyapa took the order and left.
He first secretly observed the old man and the young man, ready to see what was extraordinary about these two people, but found that they were both mortals, without any cultivation at all, and were inferior to the people following them. Most of those people had some cultivation, but were suppressed by Mount Sumeru like ordinary people.
Those people gathered around an old man and a young boy, with the boy named Shanhui as the center. They all listened attentively, wanting to hear more truth from Shanhui.
Kashyapa was ready to test it, not because he did not believe Ananda's words. Ananda demonstrated the Moka Seal to him. After trying it, Kashyapa also realized that it was extraordinary. This time he wanted to test it to see what the boy's intention was.
He didn't believe that he possessed such a secret method and climbed Mount Sumeru just to humiliate this sacred mountain.
As for how to test.
There is nothing missing around Mount Xumi except demons.
He found a tiger demon at the immortal level at the foot of the mountain, and used a secret technique to help the demon escape the suppression of Mount Xumi. He told the tiger demon that he could eat all the pilgrims on Mount Xumi.
The tiger demon let out a roar and rushed into the forest.
Kasyapa looked at the halfway point of Mount Xumi, a trace of cruelty appeared on his face: "Let me see what means you have with this sutra of the Buddha, whether you can subdue this demon tiger with your mortal body."
I watched the match between WBG and LNG today, so I only wrote one chapter. I will make up for it tomorrow.
Xiaohu is really strong! Come on!
