Mirroring the changes

Abbot Zhenxin frowned, and his tone was slightly hesitant: "Perhaps there are other discrepancies in what happened back then."

When Li Chen heard the words, he couldn't help but remember them in his heart.

It is also possible that the obscure elder said this intentionally, after all, the situation before the Sesshou Temple was not very good.

The news of the abbot's death was deliberately blocked.

"To be honest, Master Lichen, I am asking you to come here because I have an unkind invitation from Landuo Temple." Abbot Zhenxin put his hands together in a salute.

Li Chen also hurriedly returned the salute and couldn't help but ask: "Master Zhenxin, just say it directly."

"If the young monk can help you, he will not dare to refuse."

When Abbot Zhenxin heard this, his expression softened slightly, he nodded slightly and said, "This matter has a great connection with my Buddhism."

"Has Master Lichen ever heard of the 'Moluo Dilemma'?"

Hearing this, Li Chen couldn't help but nodded slightly: "It is said that Mara is the most evil demon in the world and once killed my Buddhist disciples.

As a result, Buddhism fell into silence for three hundred years at that time.

Everyone was frightened when they heard about the monks, and Buddhism almost ended its inheritance. "

Abbot Zhenxin sighed: "Not bad!"

"The 'Mara's Troubles' should be the first life-and-death crisis I have ever experienced in Buddhism."

"At that time, the world was far away from the monks because of the actions of the devil."

"Buddhism fell into darkness and almost ended because of this."

"Later, thanks to Patriarch Bodhidharma, he established the Zen sect and suppressed this demon with his supreme magical power."

"This is also where Landa Temple began to also practice Zen inheritance."

Landa Temple is the origin of Tantra in the world, and it is also the place where Zen Buddhism flourishes.

Everyone knows that Samsara Temple was founded by Bodhidharma and is the birthplace of Zen Buddhism.

But few people know that Patriarch Bodhidharma established the Zen sect in Landa Temple.

When it comes to the origin of Buddhism, Landa Temple is the best in the world.

"Back then, Mara appeared suddenly and brought chaos to the world.

Become the leader of the demonic path and dominate the world.

But when the demons rise, the Buddha will decline, and the monks will hide in hiding, and their situation will be precarious.

At a time when the world was almost cut off, Patriarch Bodhidharma successfully established a sect with Landa Temple.

Create ‘Zen’.

From this, a sudden army emerged, and with the power of thunder, Moro was successfully sealed. "

Abbot Zhenxin spoke so eloquently that Li Chen couldn't help but be surprised.

“I didn’t expect that ‘Mara’s Difficulty’ would have such an origin.”

Abbot Zhenxin nodded: "It was also at that time that Landa Temple began to practice Zen Buddhism as well."

"It's just that everyone in the world knows that Patriarch Bodhidharma sealed Mara, but they don't know that Patriarch Bodhidharma also left a verse when he sealed it."

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."

“The devil is the mind of the monk, and the monk is the mind of the devil.

From one thought to another, this heart is endless. "

When Li Chen heard this, his heart suddenly moved, but his face didn't show it at all. He just asked, "I wonder what Patriarch Bodhidharma meant by this verse?"

Abbot Zhenxin raised his head and took a deep look at Li Chen: "This also involves a secret of my Buddhist sect."

"The Patriarch Bodhidharma practiced enlightenment and imitated the Buddha, using the method of Nirvana to enter the six realms of reincarnation."

"The world, the hell, the hungry ghost, the asura, the animal, the god."

"Every time you experience one, you can gain an epiphany about the power of rules."

“Through this, I realized the supreme law, ‘The Great Way of Reincarnation’.”

“But experiencing the Six Paths is beyond what ordinary humans can do.

Even for Patriarch Bodhidharma, it was extremely dangerous to experience the Six Paths.

When he entered the 'Hell Realm', he was discovered by the Hell Demon King Bo Xun, who then sent out demon soldiers and demon generals to intercept him. "

"Patriarch Bodhidharma was determined and used his supreme cultivation to successfully resolve the crisis. In the end, he killed a clone of Demon King Bo Xun and successfully escaped from the hell realm."

Li Chen listened quietly, but his heart returned to the secret room in the Sutra Pavilion of Shasheng Temple.

It was from there that he discovered the 'Alien Beast Fire Earthworm' and 'Abi Hell Rock'.

There are ten pictures carved on the walls of the secret room.

The scene described in it is generally the same as what Abbot Zhenzhen described at this time.

"ε=(ο｀*))) Alas."

After letting out a long sigh, Abbot Zhenxin lowered his eyes, and his only remaining eye was full of worry.

Just listen to him continue: "Originally everything was perfect."

"However, cause and effect cycle, retribution will not be happy."

"Even if you are as strong as Patriarch Bodhidharma at that time, you can't break free."

Li Chen turned his eyes and couldn't help but ask: "Could this matter be related to the 'Mara' in the human world?"

When Abbot Zhenxin heard this, he couldn't help but nodded, secretly thinking that Master Lichen was really smart.

"good!"

"The supreme 'Mara' in the human world is the avatar of the devil king of hell, 'Hashun'!"

"What!!!"

Li Chen's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.

Abbot Zhenxin lowered his eyebrows, but he acquiesced.

"Back then, Patriarch Bodhidharma killed the demon king Bo Xun in the hell realm.

But if he didn't check for a while, a ray of Bo Xun's soul was hidden in his body.

Then follow him through the Six Paths and return to the human world. "

"As time goes by, the remnant soul secretly increases in strength, and then is reborn in the human world and transforms into 'Mara'."

“Because I was killed by Patriarch Bodhidharma once in the hell realm, and I’m worried about making the same mistake again.

Therefore, to bring trouble to the world, we only want to destroy Buddhism! "

"At that time, Patriarch Bodhidharma experienced the Six Paths and did not achieve enlightenment for three hundred years. It was during these three hundred years that Buddhism almost completely cut off its inheritance!"

"It wasn't until three hundred years later that Patriarch Bodhidharma attained the 'Path of Reincarnation' and suppressed Mara again."

"But Mara is actually the incarnation of the demon king Poxun. The demon king Poxun's body is immortal, and so is his incarnation."

"There is no choice but to seal Mara's soul in the Nalanda Temple."

Li Chen listened to the abbot Zhenxin's story and suddenly realized it.

"I didn't expect that the 'Trouble of Mara' would have such a secret."

"But I don't know how this is related to the verses left by Bodhidharma?"

"The devil is the monk's thoughts, and the monk is the devil's heart.

In a single thought, this heart is uninterrupted."

After reciting these four verses, Monk Zhenxin chanted the Buddha's name: "Amitabha."

Then he continued: "It is the seal, and there will be a day when it will loosen."

"A thousand years ago, when 'reincarnation and extinction' occurred, the demonic energy in the sealed land was vast, and it seemed to have the intention of breaking free. Therefore, every hundred years, the totem on the seal will dim a little."

"After a thousand years, the seal has reached a precarious situation."

"And Bodhidharma once said that these four verses contain the method of re-sealing Mara."

Speaking of this, Monk Zhenxin stroked his beard, and his only remaining eye burst into a gleam: "I have thought about it for many years, and I think this verse should be related to the 'Uninterrupted Seal Method'."

'This heart is uninterrupted! ’

Sure enough, it coincides with my own.

Li Chen put his hands together and bowed deeply.

“Amitabha.”

“I did learn the “Wu Jian Yin Fa” by chance.”

As soon as these words came out, the three Zen masters Zhenxin, Zhenkong, and Zhenming were immediately excited.

“Sure enough! Sure enough!”

“Looking back on the past, there are only two monks in the world who have learned the “Wu Jian Yin Fa”.”

“One is Bodhidharma, and the other is Monk Liaokong.”

“Since Monk Liaokong, the whereabouts of the “Wu Jian Yin Fa” has been unknown.”
