The Great Black Hand

The state of transformation can be said to be the most miraculous moment for a cultivator.

This is because the cultivator at this moment is closer than ever to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and they are even about to become one with each other, like a drop of water falling into the sea and scattering endlessly... Before his consciousness completely disappears, he can truly feel the vastness of Heaven and Earth, the loftiness of the Great Dao, and his perception is elevated to an incredible level.

Every time a thought passes by in a flash, it is like experiencing the ups and downs of a vast cycle of heaven and earth, in which the self drifts with the tide, gradually disintegrates, and disappears in the world.

However, Jiang Yifei was trying to steal the show.

As the seeds of "Buddha's children" were planted, took root, and sprouted, he had a new "carrier" to rely on, and then he corrected his talents, created mysterious skills, and brought his characteristics to the fullest.

He grasped that glimmer of hope, hovering on the edge of nirvana, life and death. The heaven and earth were assimilating him, so he deceived everyone and hid the truth; the great cycle of the universe was disintegrating him, so he took the lead, dissolved naturally, and then returned with the help of the "anchor" of cause and effect.

By reducing, one seeks emptiness. By reducing again and again, one reaches the point of inaction. By doing nothing, one can achieve everything!

In such a special state, his realm and level of cultivation gradually exceeded common sense, and he could no longer be viewed from the perspective of a normal person.

He sat upright on Mount Sumeru, but his spiritual will had already "bombarded" the eternal flow of heaven and earth, moving across the human world with the breeze, and overlooking the world with the sun and the moon; his ears moved slightly, taking in everything from the roar of the stars to the buzzing of mosquitoes in the long night.

Jiang Yifei, he was looking at this world, looking at the entire Western Desert.

He aspires to become a great demon, but at this moment the awakened Buddha nature in him is so brilliant that it overflows from the human body.

The young man suddenly picked up a flower and smiled. The girl Jue Youqing, who was passing by not far away, saw it and was stunned involuntarily.

She seemed to see the Buddha in her heart and couldn't help but want to worship and kowtow!

It was not until Jiang Yifei seemed to realize something and restrained his Buddha nature that Jue Youqing woke up from his obsession and ran away in embarrassment.

Jiang Yifei smiled and sniffed the datura flower in his hand, which had a peaceful and sacred Buddhist charm.

"Why don't you join my Buddhist sect completely?"

The god of the demon-subduing pestle woke up, looked at the boy in this posture and said, "Pretend to be real."

"After all, you are a perfect Buddhist disciple, more real than the real thing." The god with the demon-subduing pestle was filled with emotion.

“Forget it.” Jiang Yifei put down the datura flower and connected the broken branch, making it seem as if it had never been picked, returning to its original fate. “Buddhism is just a passer-by in my life.”

"I appreciate its scenery and keep it in my heart, and that is enough."

"If I can leave some marks behind that will last forever and resonate through the generations to come... then I will be completely satisfied and have no further requests."

“This is fate.”

"The arising of causes and conditions, the cessation of causes and conditions, is Buddha."

Jiang Yifei's gaze is gentle. Through his eyes, one can vaguely see his heart of compassion and love for all people.

"As long as you don't blame me for widely teaching the mantra of 'Om' in the Western Desert, that would be great."

"It's okay." The demon-subduing pestle was very calm about this. "It's just a secret technique. What's that?"

"If we can use this as an opportunity to rebuild the foundation of the Buddhist tradition, it would be worth it."

After the god finished speaking, he praised Jiang Yifei, "You did a great job on this matter... You finally did something serious in the Western Desert."

The Demon-Subduing Pestle inherited the will of Amitabha the Great and has a very good temper.

But in recent days, Jiang Yifei has been causing one weird thing after another in the Great Leiyin Temple, making it feel what it means to be overwhelmed for the first time in its life.

Fortunately, now we see the prodigal son return!

Compiling the Buddhist canon and reintegrating all the schools of Buddhism into one will become the supreme glory and merit of Buddhism!

"However, you regard Buddhism as a passing visitor, yet you still dare to do so much to rebuild the foundation of Buddhism. Aren't you afraid of creating an unrivaled enemy for yourself in the future?"

The deity with the pestle suddenly became curious.

"You call yourself a demon, but Buddha and demon cannot coexist."

"So what?" Jiang Yifei smiled. "If I don't let Buddhism flourish, how can I, a demon who wants to devour Buddha, achieve the greatest success?"

"I want to push Buddhism to its most brilliant state since the mythological era. I want to use it as a cocoon to hone my magic skills and finally break out of it!"

"The real devil is lawless and unrestrained... Buddha cannot subdue a devil like me."

He said in a deep voice, "Buddha and devil, they sharpen each other and make each other successful."

"To achieve enlightenment, the holy Buddha must overcome endless demonic calamities. Billions of demons will block his path, and the Buddha must use his supreme magical powers to subdue them before he can achieve the supreme fruit of the Tao."

“And if I, the Demon Ancestor, want to prove myself, I also need the boundless Buddhist Dharma as a furnace to forge away the acquired dregs for me, leaving only a little bit of my innate self, which can survive trillions of calamities without being destroyed, and my true self will last forever!”

"I've even prepared the stove." Jiang Yifei said, raising his hand and pointing far away.

His natal weapon, the "Heaven and Earth Honglu", has now been repaired into the shape of an incense burner, and its size has been enlarged, and it is placed in front of the Leiyin Temple.

In the future, when the compilation of the Buddhist canon is completed, he will burn this supreme scripture that integrates all the schools of thought in Buddhism to ignite the brightest fire of Buddha nature!

"You are very confident." commented the Demon-Subduing Pestle.

"Of course I am confident." Jiang Yifei raised the corner of his mouth, as if asking a question, or talking to himself, "Why can't I be confident?"

"Practice is for myself, not to mention..."

He didn't say anything else, but a murmur sounded in his heart.

"I'm cheating!"

The young man changed the subject, "Bodhi's Zen Theory and the compilation of the Buddhist Canon, two major events are about to begin. Are you ready for the Demon-Subduing Pestle?"

"I'm afraid that by then, some uninvited guests will come and ruin the luck of Buddhism."

"Don't worry!" The deity holding the demon-subduing pestle said calmly, "At that time, I will control Mount Xumi and awaken the master's relic."

"If everything goes well, it will be like a great emperor in his prime suppressing the whole scene. You can do whatever you want!"

The Demon-Subduing Pestle said to Jiang Yifei.

"Senior's kindness is so great that I have no way to repay it." Jiang Yifei sighed.

"Nothing... I don't care about Bodhi Zen, but I want to ensure the smooth progress of the compilation of the Buddhist canon, so I naturally don't allow outsiders to disrupt it." The Devil-Subduing Pestle said openly, it also has its own purpose, "Also, I have observed your practice these days, and all kinds of wonderful ideas, so I have some other ideas."

"Perhaps, I should try something..."

There is no doubt that for a period of time, the mentality of the deity of the Demon-Subduing Pestle was a mixture of conflict and expectation.

While Jiang Yifei was collecting the relics, he was also spreading them all over the world, so that the Buddha's disciples would flood the world and be everywhere.

The boy once argued that he wanted to try his luck in doing this to see if he could succeed in achieving reincarnation.

At that time, the Demon-Subduing Pestle was speechless. After discussing with Heng Yu Lu, it turned a blind eye to Jiang Yifei and did not care whether it was legal or not.

However, behind the calmness, the heart of this imperial weapon was surging.

after all……

The great Buddha Amitabha left behind a relic!

in case……

"Let's observe further..."

The deity holding the demon-subduing pestle murmured in his heart, 'There are so many Buddhist disciples paving the way ahead to verify reincarnation... If there is a similar flower that awakens to the past and grasps a tiny bit of hope...'

The gods of the imperial army are looking into the future, looking forward to it.

……

"Mount Xumi is completely different now."

A holy monk sighed.

As the time of the grand event approached, the compilation of Bodhi Zen and Buddhist canon were gradually coming into sight. Monks from all over the ancient temples in the Western Desert crossed thousands of mountains and rivers and arrived at the highest holy place of Buddhism.

Mount Sumeru!

This is a majestic name. It is the highest fairyland in Buddhism. There are too many legends about it, leaving endless mysteries in the world.

This most ancient fairy mountain is not only famous in the Beidou Star Region, but also has endless legends in other ancient star regions. It represents the foundation of Buddhism and is of great significance.

There are even rumors that the history of this fairy mountain can be even longer, dating back to an era older than the mythological era, and it is the true source of the Buddhist lineage in the world!

However, these things are impossible to verify because they happened so long ago.

But even so, the sacred Mount Sumeru of this era is enough to shock the world and make people marvel at the miracle of creation.

Especially at this moment, there is a supreme power surging in its deepest part, belonging to the ultimate way of the human world, which makes it more inviolable.

It is tall and boundless, towering into the sky, majestic and vast. It can pierce the sky and fill the ocean. It spans ancient and modern times and is immortal.

Standing in front of it, one feels deeply one's own insignificance, like an ant looking up at the galaxy. It is out of proportion and one feels deeply one's own frailty.

"Is this Mount Xumi?" A young monk in the team of Landuo Temple asked the monk Kuci, with a look of surprise on his face, "It's too extraordinary!"

He is the Buddhist disciple of this generation of Lando Temple - Kubei, born with Buddha bones, and is highly expected by the ancient temple. Countless resources are invested in his training.

I don’t know how many good things the monk Kubei has seen, and what kind of mysterious secret places he has been to for training.

But after seeing Mount Sumeru today, all these experiences suddenly seemed so mediocre and not worth mentioning at all.

"It is said that Mount Sumeru is eighty-four thousand yojanas high." The monk Kuci said solemnly. He told the Buddhist disciples honestly so that they could better understand the foundation of Buddhism. He also knew indirectly that they should not be careless with their opponents this time.

The monk revealed the height of Mount Xumi - the so-called yojanas are about 13,000 meters. And 84,000 yojanas are equivalent to an altitude of 1,922 million meters!

This is an astronomical figure!

Therefore, it is destined that Mount Xumi is the most majestic and magnificent in the Big Dipper star region. There is no other ancient mountain more majestic, boundless, and magnificent than it.

Zishan can only be regarded as a younger brother in front of him and cannot be compared with him.

Not to mention competing with Mount Sumeru, even the other mountains that guard Mount Sumeru cannot compete with it.

Mount Xumi is only the main mountain. There are several other peaks around it that are equally magnificent, with silver waterfalls cascading down and endless Zen chanting in the ears, making the central Mount Xumi even more grand.

Surrounding the mountains are lakes. It doesn’t seem like much from a distance, but when you get closer, you will be surprised to find that the water is vast, like an endless ocean.

"This is the Seven Treasures Pond, also known as the Eight Merits Pond. It is a natural miracle, not a man-made wonder." The face of the monk Kuci was full of envy. "The water here is called the Eight Flavors Water, or the Eight Calm Water. It has eight special qualities: clear, cool, sweet, soft, moist, peaceful, able to eliminate hunger and thirst, and nourish the roots..."

"Drinking it has many wonderful benefits. It can keep away impurities, purify the body, purify the mind, increase and nourish the six senses, and keep away from illness and pain. It is the world's first-class spiritual water!"

When the monk Kuci said this, he sighed, "Just because of this, every year countless Buddhists come from far and wide to worship at the Great Leiyin Temple, just to ask for a cup of water from the Seven Treasures Pond to cure their illness and live a long and healthy life."

He blinked and nearly shed tears of envy.

Lando Monastery is certainly an extraordinary creation, but how can it be compared with Mount Sumeru?

There is a world of difference between them.

Chapter 72: Hei Huang, you don’t want to embarrass Wu Shi, right?

The Great Leiyin Temple is located on Mount Sumeru, which is the resting place of the Demon-Subduing Pestle. It has boundless creation and is in no way inferior to the Purple Mountain.

Perhaps, in terms of spiritual achievements, Emperor Wushi is even better than Emperor Amitabha, but when it comes to management?

There is no way to compare the two.

The Buddha Emperor Amitabha brought Buddhism to an unprecedented height, established the religion based on faith, and spread Buddhism throughout the nine heavens and ten earths. Countless years of accumulation and the management of thousands and tens of thousands of generations have made Mount Sumeru more and more magical and prosperous.

At this moment, the monks from Landa Temple came to attend the Bodhi Zen Forum, and they had to sigh that there was an unbridgeable chasm.

"The Seven Treasures Pond is only a scenic spot outside Mount Xumi."

The monk Kuci told the story to help the monk Kubei gain a comprehensive understanding of the Great Leiyin Temple. "In addition, there are also the Bodhi Forest and the Mandala Flower Sea..."

The long history unfolded before Monk Kubei, and the boundless scenery of Mount Sumeru was vividly displayed before him.

Until one moment, the sound of a bell suddenly came here and interrupted them.

"when!"

The sound of a huge bell rings long and loudly, shaking the sky. It comes from an ancient temple on Mount Xumi, crosses the Seven Treasures Pond, and affects this place. It is like a scripture heard here, which is deafening and awakening.

Along with the sound of the bell, a golden bridge appeared from the other side, surrounded by the vast Buddha nature in the Seven Treasures Pond.

Suddenly, flowers rained down from the sky and golden lotuses emerged from the ground. In a trance, it seemed that Bodhisattvas and Buddhas appeared in the heavens and chanted Buddhist scriptures together. The celestial maidens were graceful, blowing the big Dharma conch shells, beating the big Dharma drums, lighting the big Dharma torches, and it was raining better than Dharma rain.

Following the golden bridge came an old monk. He stood on it, spanning the Seven Treasures Pond, and instantly arrived in front of the people from Lando Temple.

"Amitabha!"

The old monk chanted the Buddha's name loudly, with boundless solemnity.

"Amitabha!" The people from Lando Temple were solemn and shouted in unison to show their respect.

"Great masters of Lando Monastery, the Buddha knows the future and knows that you have arrived, so he specially ordered me to come here to entertain you." The old monk stated his purpose in a serious tone.

"Thank you, Venerable!" The monks of Lando Monastery bowed eleven times together.
