Chapter 1771 No.11 Layer of Hell

The arrival of Gusu Ci brought many changes to Dongfang Mo in the process of excavating Sifanghai.

That is, people would come to him at any time to inquire about who Gusu Ci was and why he was able to travel unimpeded in the eighteen levels of hell.

This even includes the frailty.

This woman had promised Dongfang Mo that he would have a way to leave the eighteenth hell, and she couldn't help but believe it.

Dongfang Mo is still somewhat interested in this person.Not only is this person powerful, but she is also a woman from the Nightmare Demon Clan, so she has spent all her time dealing with it, but he is vague about some specific questions about Jianli.

Because it was the people who took the initiative to curry favor, these people knew all the questions Dongfang Mo wanted to ask.

What disappointed him was that although many people among the crowd knew the formation method, there was no real formation master.

What also left Dongfang Mo speechless was that everyone's interest in him was only for a short time.As time went by, when they discovered that Dongfang Mo continued to dig the Sifanghai in the third hell just like them, everyone gradually returned to their original state.

Dongfang Mo didn't mind this at all, because his goal had already been achieved, which was to let these people know that he was different from everyone else.

Next, in the process of building the Sifang Sea, you can see the pain on someone's face gradually diminishing.This is because the golden sand that swept over them became thinner.

If you want to do this, you need inner peace and tranquility, let go of the killing and hostility in the past, which will also help them develop a heart of conversion in their hearts.

This is very similar to the second layer.

Faced with this situation, everyone has only two choices.Either break free from peace and continue to suffer endless torment and pain.Or just fall into inner peace and let the pain gradually disappear.

But if this is the case, their final result may be that their hearts are completely cleansed, just like the middle-aged scholar on the first floor, they truly converted to Buddhism and became monks from then on.

But if you think about it carefully, becoming a monk is just a different way of practice.Not only can they get out of the ghostly place of the eighteenth level of hell, and their cultivation base can be restored immediately, they may even have some unexpected opportunities.

When thinking of this in their hearts, some people's inner will began to waver.

It is not so simple to just want to truly take refuge. It is not enough for them to change their own decisions subjectively, but to devote themselves to the Buddha from the bottom of their hearts.It is obviously extremely difficult to do this.

Of course, the change of subjective consciousness is at least easier to convert than the continued disobedience of the heart.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another 20 years have passed.

Over the past 40 years, more than 100 monks have been digging almost without sleep, and a "huge pit" with a radius of tens of miles has appeared in the place centered on the banyan tree.

Today, they have finally completed the construction of Sifanghai.

More than 100 people stood around the towering banyan tree, and everyone looked different.

At this moment, among the crowd, more than a dozen people have quiet faces, and they can't see the slightest pain.They are all people who have become religious in their hearts during these years.

The rest of the people had more or less painful expressions on their faces.

"Amitabha!"

At this moment, only a sound of Buddha's name came, and the person who spoke was monk Yuanqin.

Now this person is sitting cross-legged above the banyan tree, rolling a rosary in his hand, with a faint smile on his face.

"After [-] years of benefactors, it is really commendable to have the achievements today." Just listen to this person.

Hearing this person's nonsense, Dongfang Mo's face was gloomy.

Over the years, because he has been guarded by the white monkey's supernatural powers, he has not suffered the slightest pain, and naturally there will be no conversion in his heart.

And these years of being trapped made him more and more annoyed.

"call……"

At this moment, a light wind suddenly blew up.

The leaves of the verdant banyan tree vibrated and made a rustling sound.

Then a surprising scene appeared.

In the sound of clattering, I saw white flowing water gushing out from the root of the banyan tree.

After the water spreads out, it is like a stream of streams, flowing in all directions.

Since it is the sea, there must be water.

Many people were amazed and watched the running water flow past their feet, even the bottom of their feet.

Listening to the sound of rushing water made their hearts more peaceful and peaceful.

The sound of the sea water flowing, just like the starlight shining down from the second layer of starry sky, has Buddha nature, making it easier for everyone to have a heart of refuge.

At this moment, the more than ten people who have been spared from suffering have a faint smile on their lips, as if they are immersed in the joy of inner peace.

As for the rest of the people, the expression of pain on their faces eased a little.Obviously, the sound of sea water has a great breath of Buddha nature.

It's just that all of this still has no effect on Dongfang Mo.

For the next month, the sea water kept rushing from under the banyan tree.

And the people standing in place have been submerged up to their chests by the sea water at this moment.

But during the whole process, no one moved.

After being submerged in the sea, the breath of Buddha nature began to come from all directions, allowing them to be baptized.

At this moment, a strange scene appeared.

With the rustling of the banyan tree, a golden vortex appeared above Monk Yuanqin's head.

The sea water stirred under him, forming another black vortex.And this vortex is getting bigger and bigger.If it continues like this, it will inevitably affect everyone.

Suddenly, figures of more than a dozen people slowly floated up from the sea water, heading towards the golden passage above their heads one after another.

Without exception, these more than ten people actually stepped into it, and then disappeared without a trace.

In the third level of hell, more than ten people have converted to Buddhism.

Seeing this scene, many of the crowd became agitated, and then rushed towards the golden passage above their heads.

It's just that their result was that they were thrown back into the sea.

At this moment, the sea water has begun to rise, and it becomes more and more difficult for everyone who fell into the water to soar into the sky again.

Especially the vortex became bigger and bigger, and the people who fell into the water faintly moved towards the vortex.

In the center of the vortex, is a passage.This passage presumably leads to the fourth layer of hell.

Dongfang Mo looked up at the golden passage above his head, his gaze was slightly gloomy.

Immediately afterwards, he jumped up and tried to step into it.

But the result was that he was the same as these people, and was knocked back in the next breath.

After falling into the sea again, he let out a sigh, and then said to Qing Mulan and Mu Han beside him: "Let's go!"

After finishing speaking, he took the lead towards the churning vortex in the sea water.

Seeing this, Qing Mulan immediately followed Dongfang Mo's footsteps, while Mu Han glanced at the golden passage above his head, but quickly withdrew his gaze and followed.

Back then, when she broke into the passageway she left without permission and was knocked back, she ended up being tortured by Dongfang Mo.With the lessons learned from the past, she naturally did not dare to offend Dongfang Mo again.

Following the churning vortex, everyone stepped into the fourth layer of hell one by one.

Then I discovered that this is a grassland, and there is a heavy rain here.After the raindrops drenched their bodies, they felt the pain that their skin was torn apart.

And this pain was obviously worse than that of the third layer, causing the veins on their foreheads to emerge.

What they have to do in the fourth level of hell is to carve out a statue of Avalokitesvara on a boulder more than [-] feet high in the center of the grassland.

With the torment of the first two levels of hell, everyone knows that as long as they are more devout, they can alleviate the pain.

So they began to practice in the fourth hell, hoping that after the Avalokitesvara statue was built, they could devote themselves to the Buddha and leave this place.

But there are also many people who are unwilling to lose their hearts and plan to continue to fight hard.

Among them were Jianli, Fu Longsheng and others.

"Hey……"

Dongfang Mo sighed again, and then began to build the Guanyin statue.

He knew that with each subsequent level of hell, more of them would convert to Buddhism.

I'm afraid they won't be able to go down a few layers of hell. Of the more than 100 of them, there are only a few left.

But to everyone's delight, their cultivation here has actually broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

But it is impossible to break through to the alchemy stage.

This made Dongfang Mo guess that among the eighteen levels of hell, except for the first level of hell, they could only break through to a level of cultivation after entering two levels of hell.

If this continues, he needs to go to the No. 12 level of hell if he wants to restore his cultivation base to the ramp state Dzogchen.However, if the cultivators of the Guiyi Realm want to recover their cultivation, they will have to go down to the fourteenth floor of hell.As for the half-ancestor, that is the sixteenth floor of hell.

This made Dongfang Mo extremely curious, wondering what was in the No.17 and No.18 hells.

With doubts in his heart, he began to labor in the fourth hell.

……

Fifty years passed while everyone was suffering.

On this day 50 years later, the boulder in the center of the grassland turned into a statue of Guanyin holding a clean bottle.

With the opening of the two passages, more than [-] people have accepted the baptism of Buddha nature and converted to Buddhism ever since.

So far, there are only more than [-] people left, who were thrown into the fifth level of hell under the attack of the torrential rain.

Among these people was Dongfang Mo.

And in the fifth level of hell, what they have to do is to clean out a city that has been abandoned for an unknown number of years, so as to make the city spotless.

It's just that during the process, a gust of wind like a blade was blowing all the time, making them feel like they were being cut by a knife.

Things have come to this, Dongfang Mo and others are almost numb.While gritting his teeth to endure the pain, clean the abandoned city.Make every street and every loft in the city a new look.

And because they couldn't bear the pain, many people finally succumbed in their hearts and began to become devout, so the pain on their faces gradually eased.

After 60 years, the city was finally cleaned up.

And at this moment, among the crowd, there are more than thirty people with peaceful expressions, obviously converted to Buddhism.

At this point, more than [-] stubborn old people including Dongfang Mo were sent to the sixth level of hell.

Everyone knew that what would greet them would be the next wave of more intense pain.

Although their cultivation bases are advanced, if the pain keeps increasing every time, they may eventually be unable to bear it.

So if they want to leave this place, the only option for them is to convert.

But there are only three exceptions, that is Dongfang Mo, Qing Mulan, and Mu Han.

Every time they go down to two levels of hell, not only will their cultivation recover, but so will the white monkey, so the aroused qi will be more powerful, and it will always be able to protect them.

……

300 years later, Dongfang Mo and seven other people descended to the No.11 hell.

But here, there are ghosts with green faces and long fangs in all directions, showing fierce lights at them with their fangs and claws.

What frightened everyone was that they saw a sense of familiarity in the appearance of these ghosts.

At this moment, Dongfang Mo's eyes fell on one of the ghosts. Looking at the appearance of that ghost, he remembered that the other person was Wu Bicha, and he was the first monk he had beheaded in his life.
