Chapter 880: Three Thousand Years of Meditation
Netherworld, buried Buddha plateau.
A dark world, dimly lit, full of shadows, countless ghosts, surrounded by a small temple.
There is a Buddha statue in the temple, and three lamps are lit in front of the Buddha, which looks no different from other temples.
But in front of the Buddha statue, there is a man sitting cross-legged, this person is emaciated, the treasure is solemn, and the body shines from the inside out, like the moon at night.
The countless ghosts outside poked their heads into the temple and looked into the temple, and the ghosts were whispering in a low voice.
"This great monk is very powerful! He has been meditating for 3,000 years!"
"Three thousand years ago, he preached for ninety-nine or eighty days in one breath, and then overate for half a month, and he didn't know how much he ate, and then he began to sit there quietly, motionless, without eating or drinking, until now!"
"Ah, has he become a Buddha? Otherwise, how could he meditate in one breath for 3,000 years? How dare I believe that?"
I watched him settle down with my own eyes, and there was no trace of white light on him at that time, but now the white light is getting more and more abundant, and it can be seen from a hundred miles away!"
A ghost next to him echoed: "That's right, I came 2,700 years ago, and since then, I haven't seen him get up once! Such an ascetic cultivation is extraordinary, and he is a high-ranking monk!"
"Does anyone know what the name of this monk is?"
"The monk's surname is Qin, and his name is Qin Ku. It was a disciple of the old monk Xuyun, and a Jiazi ago, Xuyun came to see him. ”
"Wow, no wonder there is such a profound Taoism! The old monk Xuyun is already a bodhisattva of the eight lands, and he may be about to become a Buddha! The disciples he taught are naturally extraordinary......
The ghosts whispered as they moved silently forward.
"It would be nice to get a little closer! The silver light emitted by Master Qin Ku's body shines on our ghosts, and it has unexpected benefits! Many of the ghosts who stood in front of us have eliminated their sins, walked out of the underworld, and have been reincarnated! Because I am too far away, I am almost at the last in line, so there is still a trace of fire. ”
"This is not an ordinary silver light, this kind of light has a saying, I once heard the old monk Xuyun sigh: 'Qin's hard cultivation is really fast, and he has reached the point where the Buddha's light shines, just wait for the Buddha fire to break through, and then he will be able to advance to the Bodhisattva!'"
"You look at the Buddha's light, it is getting more and more prosperous, and it is almost impossible for people to earn their eyes, it is estimated that it will not be long before Master Qin Ku will be able to complete his merits. ”
These people got closer and closer, and they were about to approach the temple gate, when suddenly a ghost fairy appeared, waved his hand at the ghosts, and whispered: "Stand back! Don't disturb my master!"
Then another ghost fairy drew a white line on the ground: "Don't cross the white line!
Many ghosts stepped back one after another, looking at the two ghosts with wide eyes, and found that there was no trace of ghost energy on their bodies, and they might have transformed into legendary spirits. The spirit body is different from the ghost, the yin energy is exhausted, the yang energy is dense, and you can embark on the road of cultivating immortals and Buddha in the future.
Some of the ghosts sighed faintly: "It's really enviable! If like them, they could have the opportunity to practice with Master Qin Ku, how nice it would be!"
"Hmph, what are you dreaming about? Master Qin Ku has two hundred ghost immortals, and eight thousand ghost kings to protect him! You are not even a ghost pawn now, why can you get close to the mage?"
"Ah, have you seen the Eight Thousand Ghost Kings? Qin Ku is still an Arhat Fruit Rank, how can there be Eight Thousand Ghost Kings?"
"Hehe, I naturally saw it! Every few hundred years, those ghost kings would appear and make an appearance around the small temple to deter the surrounding demon cultivators. Don't forget, although this is the Burial Buddha Plateau, which is a place where Buddhist cultivation is relatively concentrated, but outside the Ten Thousand Miles Tibetan Buddha Plateau, there are still a large number of demon cultivators, and those people come to make trouble from time to time, so they have to guard against it. ”
"There was once a demon cultivator with ill intentions who came to this temple to watch, but was driven away by many ghost kings and ghost immortals!"
"The strength of these ghost kings is also getting stronger and stronger, the last time I came out to appear, I roughly counted, many ghost kings have been transformed into ghost immortals, it is estimated that there are more than 3,000 ghost immortals!"
"Yes, I've heard that ghost immortals are not the same as ghost immortals, some ghost immortals are equivalent to the level of earth immortals, and some ghost immortals are equivalent to the level of spirit immortals, do you know what level they are?"
"My skills are too shallow, where can I see it? I only know that the coercion released from them has become more and more vigorous......
At this moment, suddenly behind the many ghosts, there was a commotion of voices: "Hurry up, get out of the way, the old monk of Xuyun is here again!"
Countless ghosts struggled to crowd and make way backwards, allowing the old monk in the gray robe to enter.
More than a dozen ghosts and immortals in the small temple were silent, and bowed quietly to the old monk.
The old monk didn't look at these ghosts and immortals, but his eyes gave off a compelling light, looking at Qin Ku who was sitting quietly on the ground.
At this time, Qin Ku once again became skinny! The muscles on his body did not weigh more than three catties! Dressed in a wide gray monk's robe, it was empty, like a clothes rack made of bamboo poles. At a glance, there is only a big head left in the whole person, which looks like a skeleton with skin!
Qin Ku's eyebrows vaguely opened a small hole the size of a needle, and there was a dazzling Buddha light shining through the small hole!
The old monk looked at it for a while, suddenly showed joy, took a few steps back, came to the gate of the temple, sat down cross-legged, looked at the many ghosts around him and said: "Donors, don't go away, it won't be long before there is a rare opportunity here, if you can see the first ray of fire, it will be of great benefit to you." You will be completely removed from your sins, your merits will be fulfilled, and you will be reborn in a house of wealth. ”
Many ghosts looked at each other, and one female ghost had the audacity to ask, "May I ask the Void Cloud Bodhisattva, is Master Qin Ku about to become a Buddha?"
The old monk smiled slightly: "It's so early to become a Buddha, at most a Bodhisattva of the Six Lands." ”
"Bodhisattva of the Six Lands, that's also very remarkable!"
The old monk looked kindly and said: "The Bodhisattvas of the Six Lands are only the Bodhisattvas of the intermediate fruit position, and there are Bodhisattvas of the Seventh, Eight, Nine, and Ten Places on them, and then there are the Bodhisattvas of Waiting for Enlightenment, the Bodhisattvas of Miaojue, and then they will become Buddhas." There are also small Buddhas and big Buddhas. ”
"However, in this Tibetan Buddha Plateau, I don't see many high-level bodhisattvas. ”
The old monk said slowly: "A long time ago, there were a large number of high-level bodhisattvas here, and even there were many true Buddhas, but then the heavenly court changed the rules and did not allow immortals, Buddhas, and even high-level bodhisattvas to stay in the underworld, so many bodhisattvas left. ”
"Master Xuyun, you are also a Bodhisattva of the Eight Lands, why are you still here?"
"Well, the old man can't stay here for too long, just wait for the disciple Qin Ku Buddha to break through the fire, and it is time to leave. ”
