Journey to the West: All Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms

Chapter 187 The Past Amitabha Sutra

Jiang Liu followed Concubine Yuan into the valley, and around the huge bonfire in the middle of the valley, dozens of foxes with snow-white fur were sitting around.

These foxes, half-squatting and half-sitting, looked like people, looking at Jiang Liu with unkind eyes.

It's normal to be unkind, Jiang Liu came to snatch their books.

"Come with me!"

The speaker was an old fox, standing like a man, with his hind limbs on the ground, leaning on a cane.His voice was very blunt and his accent was very strange, as if he had a fishbone stuck in his throat, but he finally uttered his words in an orderly manner, but he could understand him.

"Then let's take our leave!" Fragrant Fox King Yuanfei and White Ape King Bai Ziyue cupped their fists towards Jiang Liu, turned around and left together.

On the south side of the valley there is a huge stone cave, apparently the place where the foxes live. The cave is big and wide, with a radius of five or six hundred steps and a height of five or six people. After entering, it looks like a palace. I don't feel constrained.

There are many small holes in the stone wall of the cave, and oil lamps are lit in the small holes. I don't know what kind of oil this oil is. It has this fragrance, but there is no smoke.The light is also very bright, and the fire does not flicker.

The stone cave is surrounded by wooden bookshelves, on which there are volumes of books, all kinds of books, big books, small books, handwritten books, lithographed books, woodcut books, paper books, etc. The quality is also various, including bamboo paper, sandalwood paper, silk books, sheepskin scrolls, and even iron coupons of Dan books!
On the four walls, in addition to dozens of large bookshelves, there are countless yellowed books piled up under the corners of the four walls.There are incomplete ancient books and scriptures.

It is conservatively estimated that there are as many as [-] volumes of books in this stone room.

"The books here are all moved out of the Great Chan Temple one by one at the risk of our lives. In the past 20 years, our white fox clan has been hiding in Tibet, and none of these books has ever been lost. Our fox clan has The books in the house, at least they will not be muddleheaded all their lives, like beasts that only eat hair and drink blood. If you want to take these books away, it is equivalent to breaking our roots... breaking our roots..."

Talking, talking, the old fox squeezed out two lines of tears and looked at Jiang Liu pitifully.

Jiang Liu also felt a bit of a headache when he looked at the vast sea of ​​books. Although he knew that the "Amitabha Sutra of the Past" was in it, it seemed to be hidden in a "Martial Arts Sutra".To find out, it is difficult to say, but also easy to say.If you don’t know it, even if it’s in front of you, you don’t know it.The material must be extremely special, and it is absolutely difficult for Yuanshen to perceive it, otherwise no one would have discovered it after 20 years.Only when the protagonist "Hong Yi" accidentally burned the "Wu Jing" was it revealed.

"It's hard to catch a fire?"

Jiang Liu shook his head secretly, and said, "Let's do this! I'll take martial arts and Taoism, and I don't want anything else!"

The old fox wiped away his tears, bowed to Jiang Liu, and said, "Thank you, real person, thank you real person! Can we also practice the Five Elements Sword Demon?"

"If you want to practice, just practice..." Jiang Liu looked at the sea of ​​books. The most eye-catching thing is the prominent position of the bookshelf in the middle. There are two large books, one is "Martial Arts" and the other is " Dao Jing".

Both books are large, and each has dozens of volumes thick.

Both books were compiled when the Dagan Dynasty was founded.

"Martial Arts" is a book compiled by Luo Tianxia Wuxue.

"Tao Jing" is a book of cultivation compiled by collecting Taoist scriptures from all over the world.

Of course, these are all basic martial arts and cultivation methods. Jiang Liu casually flipped through them, and lost interest in the contents.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the old fox and the little fox, the "Wu Jing" and "Dao Jing" were put into the storage space.

"It should be this set of "Martial Arts"! Well, I'll look for it again, but... this is too confusing!"

Jiang Liu pondered for a moment, and with a movement of his soul, in an instant, these [-] books floated into the air, filling the entire huge cave, and the pages of the books turned without wind.

"Crash..."

The entire cave was filled with the sound of flipping books.

Under the horrified gazes of this group of foxes, books are stacked neatly, one pile, two piles... Neat and orderly!
"Fairy means!" The old fox's jaw, which seemed to be about to dislocate, finally closed. Those little foxes who were poking their heads were full of stars, and those foxes who had grown up and had some knowledge had already bowed down and muttered words, just like the group of foxes worshiping the moon. .

Jiang Liu looked at the two piles of "Wu Jing" and "Dao Jing" in front of him, pointed to the other dozen piles of books, and said: "I will take these two piles first, and those have been classified for you. I see you are here. You won't be staying for long, pack up and get ready to go!"

"God, but our whereabouts have been known by humans? That's right, we have lived here for three years, and we should leave. If we don't leave, there will be a catastrophe of extermination. It's just... what land is there in this world?" It's paradise!"

Amid the emotion of the old fox and the worship of the little fox, with a sweep of Jiang Liu's palm, the two piles of books taller than a person disappeared before his eyes and entered the storage space.

Jiang Liu found a hidden cave in the valley, and the door was closed, so he couldn't wait to take out a copy of "Martial Arts" from the storage space, and the flame on his palm turned to ashes.

After burning more than a dozen books in a row, Jiang Liu's palm shook. A piece of paper with a dark golden color was exposed in the burned ashes. It was densely packed with scriptures in small characters and pictures, which seemed to be gold leaf. Even Jiang Liu's powerful "Flame of Burning Heaven" did not hurt him at all.

The material is like silk, smooth and comfortable, and as thin as a cicada's wing, it looks like a big piece, but if it is crumpled, it is not as big as a fingernail and has no weight at all.

Holding up his consciousness, a one-meter-square picture scroll was displayed in front of Jiang Liu.It is densely packed with words, and in the middle is a golden Buddha statue, sitting in the void, with countless sun, moon and stars revolving around it.

"Amitabha Sutra"!These three words are in the upper left corner of the scroll.

"It's really the 'Amitabha Sutra of the Past'! One of the three scriptures of the Dachan Temple, it is mysterious and unfathomable, and it is the supreme art of cultivating the soul! Good... good... good!"

It was only after Jiang Liu said three good words that he suppressed the ecstasy in his heart. Although he was already mentally prepared, when the scriptures were displayed in front of his eyes, his emotions were still hard to restrain.The protagonist Hong Yi's achievements beyond the other side are due to this thin scripture.

【Past Amitabha Sutra】

[Supreme secret method of cultivating the soul]

Simple introduction, but the content is extremely not simple.The Great Zen Temple is a thousand-year-old temple, with horses racing to light incense, and masters like clouds. Before it was wiped out, no matter what sect in the world had to admit that it was the number one temple in the world and the holy land of the highest achievement in practice.

And the highest secret of practice in the Great Zen Temple is recorded in the past, present, and future three volumes of scriptures.In the past it was the "Amitabha Sutra", now it is the "Tathagata Sutra", and in the future it is the "Sutra of Inexistence".

"Amitabha Sutra" is the supreme art of cultivating the soul, "Tathagata Sutra" is the way of martial arts and immortals, and "No Life Sutra" is the most mysterious. According to rumors, the three volumes are combined into one. Transcend the sea of ​​suffering in the world and truly reach the other shore.

The scriptures are floating in front of him, square, three feet long and wide. The handwriting on it is very small, small script, but it is also very clear, like a knife engraving, without any blurring.

Moreover, the font has a power that goes deep into the bone marrow. After people read it, there is a feeling that these small characters will move and fly.Words are already spiritual.

Although these words record the secret method of cultivating the soul, the real important thing is the big Buddha in the middle.The golden Buddha sits in the void, surrounded by countless suns, moons and stars, blessing the golden Buddha with brilliance.

The golden Buddha's eyes were slightly closed, his knees were crossed, his hands were in mudra, and his expression was serene, but unlike the majesty of the Buddha statues in other temples, what he revealed was a kind and familiar atmosphere.

Even, Jiang Liu had a feeling that this Buddha was his previous life from thousands of lifetimes.

"The way of practice is that all dharmas are unified. Although I am a Taoist priest and a Qi refiner, I can also learn from the practice of this Buddhist sect... There is no Buddha in the world, and the Buddha is the Tao. This Tao is not the Tao of Taoism, but The way of heaven, the way of the great way. The demeanor and temperament of this Buddha can resonate with me, and it has the artistic conception of attracting people to become a Buddha."

When Jiang Liu visualized the big golden Buddha, his whole body trembled, his primordial spirit and soul were emptied, as if he was about to transform into a Buddha and go away.

Immediately, Jiang Liu closed his eyes suddenly, his mind and soul gradually returned to his place, and when he collected the scriptures, Jiang Liu couldn't help but feel a little scared. If he didn't keep his mind just now, he would definitely be saved by this Buddha.

"I want to borrow you to practice, not to be saved by you. However, it is really strong and very big... I like it! Contemplating and cultivating this Buddha every day is equivalent to facing the Buddha all day long, listening Its lectures are of great benefit to cultivation. It really makes sense for Hong Yi to be able to cultivate the immortality of his mind and soul!"

Jiang Liu unfolded the scriptures again, instead of looking at the Buddha, he only read the scriptures.

"If I hear..."

After reading it again and again, after more than a day of pondering, Jiang Liu finally figured out a clue, and secretly said: "This is the method of visualization, which allows practitioners to cultivate the appearance of a bodhisattva, arhat, or even a Buddha. This is the way to become a Buddha." It is a pity that no matter how powerful the visualization is, it is only infinitely close to the Buddha, and it is absolutely impossible to surpass it. I can use it as a reference, but not as a fundamental method to practice! After all, this is someone else's way, and I can borrow it now. But you can't copy it..."

With this in mind, Jiang Liu looked at the back of the Amitabha Sutra.The Amitabha Buddha on the front is the largest and strongest Buddha, and there are some meditation images on the back of the scriptures.On the back, there are many small pictures as big as palms, all of which are lifelike characters and environments.Symmetrical with the scriptures on the front, it is a supplement to the pictures of the scriptures.

As in the scriptures, imagine that the light of the stars enters the top door three inches, and there will be a Shura hell, and you can cultivate the Shura Dharma.

On the back of the scriptures, a picture depicts the scene of Asura Hell in detail, dripping with horror, so that people can have a clear visualization.

In the scriptures, imagine that the light of the stars penetrates deep into the eyebrows, and a jade girl will appear.

On the back of the scriptures, there is an image of a jade girl that makes people's blood spurt, and they can't extricate themselves just by looking at it.

There are also Yasha, Rakshasa, Vajra, Fudo Myo, and so on.Of course, it cannot be compared with the Buddha on the front.

Jiang Liu shook his head, but he still turned to the front. If he wanted to practice the dharma, then he would cultivate the most powerful dharma.

Visualize Amitabha Buddha, achieve the Buddha of Infinite Light, and become the Great Sun Tathagata!
