Beginning as a Tantric Academy Monk

Chapter 741 Breaking the Oath
A beam of Buddhist light emanated from behind Lu Feng, illuminating the area and revealing the goods inside. These goods were all necessities for the living. Lu Feng continuously turned the "prayer beads" in one hand as the truck entered the "no man's land."

These large vehicles traveled on the "road," and Lu Feng, swaying back and forth, felt as if he were being digested inside a constantly wriggling stomach. However, even so, these things were actually protected by "Strange Rhythm."

Without the blessing of this "mysterious power," these large vehicles would have fallen apart long ago.

The problem remains: "travel is difficult."

In many places within the "Secret Dharma Realm," there are no roads suitable for large carts to travel on.

Even without entering the "no man's land," the roads here are far more difficult than just "difficult."

Even with the blessing of "mysterious power," this place is nothing more than able to keep these large carts from falling apart while traveling.

As for "comfort".

This makes it less than comfortable.

Fortunately, Lu Feng didn't care about such a thing, and he gently stroked the "homespun cloth" in front of him.

It was at this moment that time came to observe the "local cloth" in this area.

On this "homespun cloth," the code that conceals one's aura is still rooted in one of the "original great powers."

If Lu Feng had the time, he could extract this "original power" from this place, and even reverse it to figure out how "homemade cloth" is woven, so that he could also weave homemade cloth. Lu Feng knew that this was the importance of "secret"; if he obtained "secret", he would obtain power.

Right now, none of this matters.

As Lu Feng swayed and staggered along in the vehicle, a boy lay prostrate on the ground beside him, curiously watching him. Lu Feng didn't speak, but instead took out a string of "prayer beads"—a manifestation of Dharma nature—and placed them around the boy's neck. The boy believed that being able to see Lu Feng meant he could achieve "liberation."

This boy was the owner of the eyes that Lu Feng had seen earlier, but he was not a living person.

This thing belongs to the category of "non-human".

It belongs to the category of "human bone ritual implements".

It can't even be called "kapala" yet.

It was contained in a glass and sandalwood box, which even had hinges and was quite exquisite. It was no bigger than a human palm, and inside it was a domino. It should be the boy's domino. A spirit was nurtured on the domino.

Under normal circumstances, a monk would not treasure this "human bone ritual implement" so much as to put it in such an "ornament" unless it was given away as a "gift".

Lu Feng gave the "prayer beads" to the "boy".

Beyond this "glass and sandalwood box" were many well-preserved, fine "carpets".

There are also some large Thangka paintings.

None of the things here seem to be what is required for "offering".

It's more like something that "living people" need.

However, no text was found inside. After thoroughly investigating the entire vehicle, Lu Feng...

He slightly lifted the "cloth" covering the large cart and looked outside.

Walking in the wilderness, without any landmarks, it's easy to lose your bearings and only see the high sky and the wind blowing recklessly. Lu Feng still remembers that "monk" from the "Tian Dan Kang Zhuo" family, who used "star observation" and "mountain and water veins" as markers to mark many important locations, as if forming a snake in the area.

They followed the direction of the snake.

These people should also follow the direction of a snake.

The direction they are currently heading seems to be the same as the direction Lu Feng wants to go.

According to the pace of this "caravan," as the sun is about to rise, they will reach the edge of the "land where the roc takes flight," where there will be a protruding, crimson rock that looks like the head of a venomous snake.

This is what the first monks called the "beacon of the way".

There used to be a small town there.

It belongs to a lord.

However, when the "ancestral monks" of the "Tian Dan Kang Zhuo" family returned, it had already become ruins and should now be buried and invisible. But as one hears, Lu Feng entered this place, and from this distance, according to common sense, he could naturally see everything at a glance.

However, once Lu Feng entered the place, he sensed that the ecology there had reached an extremely harsh level.

Every now and then you can see something "unfathomable" in the distance.

The reason it is called "inexplicable" is because it is a situation that is difficult to explain.

That is, "deceitful".

Just now, Lu Feng saw a flock of vultures circling in the distance, seemingly a never-ending "slaughterhouse" in the sky.

Countless limbs fell from above, as if that place were "hell," and the "vultures" surrounding that place formed a "tornado"!
Lu Feng only glanced at it from afar and knew that it was all “real”, but not “real”.

That is nothing more than a "fierce monster" being suppressed there and unable to escape, thus forming this place, a place that can be avoided.

Lu Feng kept all of these things in mind.

One day, they will all be useful.

Even at night, during the time when the "breathing of the Dakinis" is temporarily calm, the strong winds here rise without any reason. Normally, even if the wind rises, there is a process of "gradually increasing in strength", but it is different here. It comes and goes abruptly.

"The caravan—what are they trading with?"

Lu Feng continued to lie on the "big truck".

When Lu Feng spoke to the "master" in front of him, the "master" treated Lu Feng as if he were nothing, neither looking at him nor understanding him, nor speaking to him. When Lu Feng spoke to him, he ignored him. When Lu Feng looked through the other "carts," he did the same. As long as the shadow could not ultimately implicate Lu Feng, then Lu Feng would be transparent here, as if he did not exist here.

Lu Feng understood what was going on, so he continued to lie down in the "cart".

Waiting for the right opportunity is also a way of exploring the path.

According to common sense, the "no man's land" is also called the "land abandoned by Buddha".

If there are any people among them, the most likely candidates are "foreigners".

Whether it is "raw barbarian" or "cooked barbarian".

They were all people who had been excluded from the "land protected by Buddha's light".

Neither of them are "human." Except for some of the more powerful "curses" that require some of their clothing or organizations, the two are usually enemies. That's how it should be. It's impossible to say that these things are given to them.

A blood feud between the two sides.

Let's not talk about anything too profound.

"单止" means to refer to one thing.

"Turning the mountain around".

On this matter, there is an irreconcilable contradiction between the two.

Whether they are "shamans" or "monks", they all have to "circumambulate the mountain", but during this "circumambulation", they will encounter "foreigners".

These "foreigners" don't care about your myriad reasons, whether this mountain is the sacred site of this "Bodhisattva" or that mountain is the sacred site of that "Bodhisattva," or that their circumambulation of the mountains will bring happiness.

They only care about one thing.

Those were the people who stepped into their territory.

In such circumstances, they would attack all those who "circumambulate the mountain," and the "Temple of the Origin of All Dharmas" would usually negotiate with these people.

Kill them first.

If we can't kill them all, we have no choice but to find a middleman to negotiate.

They usually exchange certain items and blankets for the right to pass through the hill during special religious ceremonies.

Or perhaps they ransomed the kidnapped monks.

Where did the "Temple of the Origin of All Dharmas" get such great "compassion" from, giving them things away for no reason?

The reason they weren't killed was because "Buddha" had important business to attend to today and couldn't "take care" of them for the time being.

Moreover, in this "no man's land," there are familiar "old friends" of Lu Feng.

"A blood-red figure".

In reality, it is also called "Heavenly Treasury".

Lu Feng still vividly remembers the methods of persuasion that appeared in the "Great Snow Mountain" when he dealt with "Tian Zang". Logically speaking, the "blood-red figure" is not a friend of the "Great Snow Mountain". They are all manifestations of "cause and effect". Now Lu Feng can sense that the "blood-red figure" is currently deep in this "no man's land".

They lingered in one spot, motionless.

If Lu Feng continues on this path, he should be able to see him in another five or six days.

Therefore, it is impossible for them to be "foreigners".

Could it be that the "blood-red figure" is still colluding with the "early witchcraft" and the "Temple of the Origin of All Laws"?

This is even more alarming.

Even so, Lu Feng saw that as the sky turned white, the "breath of the Dakinis" filled the air everywhere.

The flying sand and stones were enough to terrify anyone who saw them.

As the sun was about to rise, the "breathing of the Dakinis" became more and more intense, and even in this "mountain area," Lu Feng saw a "tornado"!
It's not a dust devil!
It was a "tornado," an invisible and monstrous force shrouded in the sky, which lowered its mandibles and swept away from the place.

And every now and then, another kind of "thing" would pass through this place. But they all had their own routes.

Strictly speaking, "caravans" are no different from these things.

When the "Great Sun" truly rose, the "caravan" all stopped.

They hid in the protruding snake head.

don't go.

Waiting for the sunset.

Lu Feng flipped off the "cart" again and saw the scene before him. It was the same "Great Sun", but now the "Great Sun" was like a "sharp sword" brought down by the "Mandate Wheel Body of Great Sun Tathagata", piercing through everything fiercely.

Even when Lu Feng stretched out his hand, it was instantly covered in blood blisters.

Although it will be fine in a short while.

However, the horrors there still exceeded people's expectations.

There was even a "canyon" ahead.

Within the "canyon," one can still see some buildings resembling "fortified houses."

"I'll go out and take a look first."

Even though the great sun rose fiercely and the "Grand Master" hung himself in the "shadow of the stone," Lu Feng still spoke with him for a while.

I just went outside.

As Lu Feng went out, a canopy appeared on his head from the crown chakra, covering him completely.

The "master," who had hung himself in the shadows, watched Lu Feng leave with an indifferent gaze.

It's just like looking at the wind, the rain, and the stones here—there's no difference.

Under the gaze of this "neither dead nor alive," Lu Feng walked out of this place and came into the "canyon."

The "fortified house" next to this "canyon" looks like a small roadside tavern, with some stones stacked together to form a staircase.

Lu Feng went up the steps and came into the watchtower.

The door to this fortified house has long since rotted away.

Lu Feng went inside. The place was covered in dust, and every step he took sent dust flying.

Although the smell here isn't very pleasant, it is definitely safe.

Lu Feng silently kept this matter in mind.

I memorized a map in my mind.

After making some more arrangements, he went back and wrapped himself in "homespun cloth".

Throughout the entire process, under this "fierce and eerie" gaze, they completely disregarded this "fierce and eerie" presence.

That "fierce and cunning" also allowed Lu Feng to "do whatever he wanted".

After Lu Feng lay back down, there was no longer any sign of life in the entire "caravan".

The entire caravan fell into a deathly silence.

Medicinal herbs, blankets, glassware, and some leather goods.

Lu Feng chose to stay with the "blanket". After he stopped speaking, the sound of Lu Feng chanting sutras came from under the "cloth".

When the "great sun" sets.

"The Milky Way is brilliant."

The convoy continued its journey, swaying and staggering deeper into the "no man's land."

He lifted the "cloth" and looked at the surrounding scenery, recording all the sights along the way in his mind.

When the sun rose on the second day...

Lu Feng noticed that several more people had indeed appeared in the convoy, but when he looked closer, he couldn't quite make out who they were. He had been tricked into this "no man's land." Although it was an avatar, the fact that it could fool Lu Feng's avatar and clone so easily was quite remarkable. As for "Tianzang," it was still some distance away. But at this moment, Lu Feng returned to "Tubu."

She also saw that there was someone lying next to her.

A person made of gold.

Upon seeing these, Lu Feng instantly realized the meaning behind the appearance of these things, a meaning that had already been stated before.

In the realm of esoteric Buddhism, apart from the supreme-ranking monk "Supreme Hutuktu," the lives of other monks are valued. For example, the Khenpo of a major monastery is worth an equivalent amount of gold.

Therefore, sometimes, such "high monks" had to pay an equivalent amount of gold to earn their lives.

But what if it's just a little off?

Then we'll have to see if the other party really wants to keep this "great monk" alive.

To compensate for this missing element, one could cut off the toes or the head.

Toes may survive, but the head may not.

Lu Feng never expected that such a thing would appear beside him.

After this thing appeared, Lu Feng simply transformed himself into "gold".

Like the light?

He then lay down on the "big vehicle".

And outside, the same was true for the guru at the very front.

Only the "leading guru" used gold to redeem himself.

The rest of the monks had transformed into soft human skin, which he then wore on his body.

For a moment, the entire convoy was adorned with jewels and was incredibly magnificent.

However, at this very moment, a discrepancy occurred between the place they were going to and the place Lu Feng was going to.

This "caravan" was not heading to the "royal city".

Instead, as night fell again, he landed alone in this place. During this time, a large number of horse hoof sounds came from outside. After midnight, the sound of horse hoofs disappeared again. Lu Feng, who had turned into "gold", was not harmed in any way. On the second day, Lu Feng lifted the "cloth".

This time, it seemed like there were more people in the "convoy".

It was after the "cloth" was lifted that Lu Feng heard the sounds of countless monks chanting sutras outside.

“Om, Vajrasattva Samaya, Manupalaya.”

Banzasattvadinova, Dichazhizhuomeibawa.

......"

The sound of chanting was very familiar; Lu Feng had chanted scriptures before. He then saw a dark-faced monk appear beside him, though this monk was walking around here.

Upon seeing Lu Feng's face, he said, "Come out. Now that you've come this far, why are you still unwilling to come out?"

The dark-faced monk's face was even darker than the face of Elder Mingli that Lu Feng had seen. Lu Feng looked again and found that the direction this group was heading was not the same as the geographical coordinates mentioned by the ancestor of the Tiandan Kangzhuo family. According to the stars, they were heading further north.

"It's not that I don't want to come out, it's just that there's no one to talk to when I do. Would you like to have a chat with me?"

Lu Feng sat down on the "cloth," cross-legged, and asked the "black-faced monk."

Sitting on the "homesty cloth," Lu Feng noticed that nine extra people had inexplicably joined the convoy. It seemed that "No Man's Land" had cut in line with nine people.

Lu Feng said, "Then who are you speaking to me on behalf of? Or let me ask you this: in this no-man's-land, who is in charge? Is it you?"

The "black-faced monk" said, "No man's land—that's just what you call it. Even the senior monks of your temple, the origin of all dharma, are not allowed to call this place a no man's land."

However, we have a rule that a bodhisattva like you is not allowed to enter this place, and we will not enter what you call the place where the Buddha's teachings shine.

Now it seems that you have failed to keep your promise!

At this moment, Lu Feng looked up and heard the "secret mantra" of "Vajrapani Bodhisattva." The scriptures he had just read suddenly transformed into a giant hand.

Subsequently,

It transformed into a "secret mantra" and fell straight down!

"Buzz,

Banzabani,

Hum.

This time, Lu Feng suddenly transformed into a "Dharma nature," and under this "Dharma nature," he took the form of "Immovable King." The "secret mantra" before him was the "calamity of breaking an oath"! The problem lies here: Lu Feng had absolutely not made a "great oath" with anyone under "Vajrapani Bodhisattva" to "not enter this place," but at this moment, he was clearly being represented.

There are very few people in the "Secret Dharma Realm" who hold this "rank".

Then I thought back to what happened earlier.

How could Lu Feng not know what the underlying reasons were?
Knowing this is not a big deal. What Lu Feng wants is to use this item to properly assess just how important the "No Man's Land" really is!
