The Burning Heaven Emperor

Chapter 258
Just as the Shushan incident was raging, ripples also appeared in Buddhism.

Mount Tiantai, located on the land in the west of Dongsheng Shenzhou, is the center of Buddhism in the east.After nearly a thousand years of development, the Buddhist sect is centered on Tiantai Mountain, and within a radius of ten thousand miles, there are all Buddhist believers. The Buddhist sect has absolute dominance in this area.Therefore, Tiantai Mountain has become a holy place for Buddhism. Every day, there is an endless stream of believers coming to Tiantai Mountain to worship. The incense is very prosperous. Of course, these believers can only visit the temples halfway up the mountain.

The temples above the mountainside are where Buddhist disciples live, and it is impossible for ordinary believers to visit here.

On the thousands of feet high Buddhist holy mountain, lived an inconspicuous little monk.This little monk is young and immature in appearance, but he reveals a determination that does not match his age.

The name of this young monk is Jingming. Even though Jingming is not very old, he can be regarded as an old man of Jingzi generation in Tiantai Mountain. He has been in Tiantai Mountain for more than ten years.When Jingming was three years old, his parents died in the war. Jingming was rescued by Master Qingku, who was traveling abroad, and brought him back to the lower courtyard of Tiantai Mountain. .

From spring to winter, Jingming turned 15 years old in a blink of an eye, but Jingming looked only about the size of Twelve-San, and his body was thin and thin, as if he would fly away when blown by the wind. He looked very pitiful.

In fact, when Jingming first went up the mountain, Jingming lived quite well under the care of Qingku.However, since Master Qingku died unexpectedly while going out, Jingming’s life in Tiantai Mountain Lower Court has become difficult. He is often bullied by other young monks. It was honed over the years.

Although Buddhism says to save all living beings, it has great ambitions and great compassion, but where there are people, there will be conflicts, and Buddhism cannot avoid it.What's more, there are tens of thousands of Buddhist disciples living on Tiantai Mountain, so the fierce competition can be imagined.

Jingming's life in the lower courtyard is very simple. Every morning, he helps the kitchen to fetch water and chop firewood, and after that, he chanting scriptures, copying books, and practicing Buddhism.Needless to say, although Jingming is thin and fragile, his understanding of Buddhism is really good, but it's a pity that no one knows it.

There are tens of thousands of disciples in the Lower Court, and the competition is very fierce. Without a master to guide the way, it is difficult for ordinary disciples to have a bright future.Who cares about a little monk who dives into water and chops firewood? If it wasn't for the sake of the dead master, Jing Ming would probably be expelled from Tiantai Mountain and go to other temples to practice.

The lower courtyard of Tiantai Mountain is the martial arts academy, and the martial arts academy mainly trains monks, which is a major feature of Buddhism after it was passed to the East.The nature of monks is similar to that of Buddhist soldiers in Western Buddhism, but their status is slightly higher than that of Buddhist soldiers, which is somewhat close to the status of Dharma Guardian Jialan.

After Buddhism was spread to the East, in order to adapt to the local conditions and customs of Dongsheng Shenzhou, after several generations of Buddhist disciples' exhaustion, Buddhist Zen was born, which became the foundation for Buddhism to gain a foothold in Dongsheng Shenzhou.

Tiantai Mountain is the holy mountain of Buddhism in Dongsheng Shenzhou, and also the main mountain of Zen Buddhism. It is the base camp of Zen Buddhism.Zen Buddhism originated from Bodhidharma, and then really flourished in disciples such as Shenxiu and Huineng.

Most of the Dharma practiced in the lower court are martial arts exercises created by Bodhidharma and his disciples based on Buddhist scriptures. These martial arts exercises are enough for Buddhist disciples below the gods to benefit for life.But to cultivate these martial arts skills to a very deep level, it is natural to rely on the support of Buddhist understanding. The higher the understanding, the more effective it is to practice.

Once the disciples of the Lower Court break through the Heavenly Immortals and reach the cultivation level of the True Immortals, and pass the assessment, they can join the Tiantai Mountain Intermediate Court. After arriving in the Intermediate Court, they can get rid of their status as monks and become monks, and they can practice more advanced Buddhist skills.

In the middle courtyard, there are nearly a thousand disciples practicing, and the competition is extremely fierce.

Above the middle court is the upper court.If Buddhist disciples on Tiantai Mountain want to enter the upper court, the first condition is to reach the cultivation base of the Golden Immortal, and the second condition is to condense the Buddhist golden body.

As long as Buddhist disciples enter the middle courtyard, they can get in touch with the low-level Buddhist golden body cultivation methods, such as the golden body of monks.

The Buddhist golden body cultivation method is not only a test of Buddhist understanding, but also a measure of how much virtue you have accumulated in your daily deeds. Without enough merit, it is impossible to condense the corresponding golden body.

After entering the upper court, they will be given the method of cultivating the golden body of the Arhat and become the focus of training. Among them, those with extraordinary talents can even get the method of cultivating the golden body of the Bodhisattva.

In the entire upper courtyard, there are only nearly a hundred disciples, most of whom are golden immortals, and only a few dozen are Taiyi golden immortals, and the disciples of Daluo golden immortals are basically invisible.

Although there are a large number of Buddhist disciples in Tiantai Mountain, their strength is still much inferior to that of Shushan. In many cases, they rely on the support of Western Buddhism to overcome difficulties.

In the early morning of this day, Jing Ming had just split the firewood in the kitchen and hung the burden of carrying water on his body. Before he reached the side door of the kitchen, he saw several young monks swarming in and stopped Jing Ming. .

The daily chores of the House of Commons are expressly prohibited by the law, so Jing Ming can only do it himself, and dare not be lazy in the slightest.Such a ban is just to make the disciples of the Lower Court a little bit more tempered, to sharpen their minds, so that they will not be arrogant or impetuous.

"Jingming, why are you going?" The few young monks surrounding Jingming are all disciples of the Jingzi generation, and the leader said to Jingming with a playful look.

If these people were serious about counting, they would all call Jingming their senior brother. Unfortunately, after Jingming's master, Master Qingku, died, Jingming became a widow. Naturally, the name of this senior brother cannot be taken seriously.Because of the name of this senior brother, Jingming was provoked by other disciples many times, which made Jingming suffer a lot.

"I've met some senior brothers, I'm going to fetch some water for the kitchen!" Jingming humbly said to them, hoping they would let him go.Jing Ming really didn't want to cause more trouble, he couldn't bear this torment.

"Don't, today I came to look for senior brother Jingming, I want to discuss with you, senior brother, I heard from the elder that you just made a breakthrough recently!" As soon as Jingming finished speaking, another young monk said in a strange way.

"Senior Brother Jingming, you have made a breakthrough, please teach me a few tricks, and guide the younger brothers in their cultivation!" The other young monks agreed immediately, but their expressions were not friendly.

The breakthrough mentioned by the few young monks refers to the fact that Jing Ming became an Earth Immortal. In fact, Jing Ming had already broken through to an Earth Immortal a few years ago, and recently he made another breakthrough, reaching the level of a Celestial Immortal. Immortal cultivation base for outsiders to see.

Because Jingming is not very eye-catching, the elders of the lower house did not pay much attention to Jingming, so they did not see the fact that Jingming already has the cultivation base of a celestial being.

Jingming revealed that he has the cultivation base of an earth immortal, and immediately attracted the attention of the little monk who didn't deal with him.Although most of the disciples in the Lower Court have immortal cultivation, most of them are earth immortals, and one out of ten disciples has the cultivation of heavenly immortals.

Immortal cultivation is nothing in Tiantai Mountain, Shu Mountain and other forces. They are no different from ordinary people, so what should be done is still to be done.Moreover, Buddhism is not like Shushan and other sects of Taoism. It cannot recruit some subordinates or family members to follow in the secular world. Relatively speaking, it is still very poor, but it is also more pure and dedicated to the Buddha.

At the same time, because the Dao ancestor re-established the Three Realms, the laws of heaven and earth in the Three Realms became more stable, and the suppression of the immortals was naturally stronger.

"A few seniors are just joking, how dare I teach you my low strength, and please let me go and fetch water in the backyard!" Jing Ming apologized with a flustered expression.

These few people in front of me are not good people, half of Jingming's daily sufferings are caused by them.All this is because Jingming's master, Qingku, had conflicts with the masters of these people, and the conflicts were not small.After Qingku passed away, Jingming took the punishment for his teacher and was greatly troubled by these people.

"Jingming, don't pretend to be there, and learn a few tricks with us first, as long as we are satisfied, we will naturally let you go!" The young monk in charge said fiercely.

"Everyone!" Jingming had no chance to resist at all, and after this person gave an order, everyone rushed forward.

Boom!Boom!The wooden barrels and loads carrying water were scattered all over the place. Since the disciples are forbidden to fight privately on Tiantai Mountain, these people dare not use their magic power.Several people used both hands and feet, and they beat Jingming severely.

Jingming naturally didn't dare to resist, so he had to endure the beatings of these people, his body gradually became red and purple, and his appearance was horrible.

After a while, these people stopped and stopped beating Jingming.At this time, Jingming was lying on the ground dying, his whole body was covered with bloodstains, but his head was not hit, and Jingming's appearance could still be seen.

"Let's go!" The young monk in the lead shouted, and then turned and walked out of the side door first.

"Bah!" "Bah!".
The other young monks didn't forget to spit on Jingming before leaving, and then they left here contentedly, leaving behind a horrible Jingming lying on the ground.

After the few people had left, Jingming got up slowly, dragged his almost seriously injured body, found a pair of water-carrying loads and buckets again, and limped towards the pool in the backyard, continuing his journey. Unfinished chores today.

Fortunately, these skin injuries seemed horrible, but they were not that serious to Jingming's injuries. It was just that the beating made Jingming suffer so much, it was actually a kind of physical torture.The injury on Jingming's body will disappear quickly as long as he uses mana. To him, this injury is nothing.

Fate is so ill-fated, a young and inexperienced monk, because of the premature fall of his master, became the target of others' abuse, and made him bear too many things, but it didn't make him lose his longing for life, he still persisted.

In fact, in the Lower Court, there are quite a few young monks who are in a similar situation to Jingming, but they are not as miserable as him.

Jingming's talent is not bad, on the contrary, it is quite good. After practicing Buddhism for more than ten years, he can have a fairy. This kind of talent is rare in the Three Realms.But because of the premature death of the master Qingku, and Jingming's own ability to hide his strength and bide his time, although Jingming has an unparalleled talent, resources and so on have nothing to do with him, and he is not valued, otherwise his cultivation base will definitely not stop there .

The resources that should be obtained have almost been deprived, and the only thing missing is his status as a disciple of the lower court.

If it weren't for worrying about being deprived of his identity as a disciple of the Lower Court, perhaps he wouldn't even reveal his cultivation as an Earth Immortal.

Jingming limped and carried the burden, and walked towards the pool in the backyard.The pool in the backyard is actually not close to the kitchen. The kitchen was originally in a remote place in the lower courtyard, but the backyard is even more remote, next to a cliff in Tiantai Mountain. It is said that it was once the place where Venerable Bodhidharma enlightened. After all, this is just a rumor, and no one can confirm it.

To go to the backyard, you must first pass through a naturally formed stone bridge, and then you can come to the pool formed by the convergence of clear spring water.This pool is neither big nor small, and it still occupies more than an acre of land.

Because the kitchen is located in a remote place, other water sources in the lower courtyard are far away from the kitchen, and it is inconvenient, so the pool in the backyard becomes the best water intake point.

Although most of the disciples in the Lower Court are Earth Immortals and above, there are also many mortal disciples among them.What's more, even if they are all immortals, they still need to eat some delicacies to satisfy their cravings.

For example, in a huge heavenly court, there is not a department that manages the kitchen to provide heavenly soldiers and generals with fairy world delicacies, so that they can feast on their mouths.

After Jing Ming limped to the pool, he first cleaned up all the bruises on his body by the pool, then filled the two buckets, and then picked them up to go back to the kitchen.

After Jing Ming went back and forth several times, he filled a large water tank in the kitchen to eighty percent full.Jing Ming wiped the sweat from his forehead, then continued to carry the burden and went to the pool in the backyard.

Except for Jing Minghui who came here to carry water, no one really cares about this pool.Even the cooks in the kitchen didn't care about this place, because there was nothing surprising here except for a better view and a little quieter.

Jing Ming came to the pool again, and he slowly put down the wooden barrel in his hand, just as he was about to fill the wooden barrel with water in the pool.A bright light suddenly came from the depths of the pool, flashing Jingming's eyes, causing him to lose his vision for a short time.

The sudden light surprised Jingming, and after he regained his vision, he turned his gaze to the direction where the light appeared.I don't know if I don't look at it, but when I look at the depths of the pool, there is really something sinking at the bottom of the water.

"I don't know how many times I've been to this place, but I still haven't found anything at the bottom of the water. Could it be that my eyes are dazzled!" Jing Ming whispered in disbelief.Jingming shook his head again, then washed his eyes with pool water, and looked intently again.

"It's so weird, there is something at the bottom of the water!" This time Jingming looked more carefully, and there was something in the depths of the pool, but no matter how he looked, he couldn't see what it was, only he could see it. This thing exudes a faint faint light.

The water in this pool is clear and not very deep. The deepest part is only more than two meters. At a glance, everything at the bottom of the pool can be seen at a glance.

Jing Ming often came to the pool to draw water, how could he not know everything about the pool, this sudden appearance surprised him greatly, and he always felt that he was dazzled.

"Since this object appeared at this time, it seems that I am destined, maybe this object is still a great treasure!" A trace of expectation appeared on Jing Mingnan's immature face.He really had had enough with his current life.

Jing Ming really hoped that he would have a chance to soar into the sky, and leave this lower house where he suffered so much humiliation, so that his talent could truly be displayed.

Jing Ming didn't hate those fellow disciples who oppressed him, but he was a little tired of this situation and was tired.

thump!Jingming leaped and fell into the pool immediately. As soon as his body moved, a faint Buddha light shone on his body to isolate the water from the pool. There, the treasure that exudes a faint light is right in front of you.

Seeing that the treasure was only a few meters away from him, Jingming was naturally overjoyed and couldn't wait to swim towards the treasure.Just a few meters away, Jingming can reach it with just a slight movement.But the reality is not so simple, no matter how Jingming swims, the distance between the treasure and him has always been a few meters away, which has never changed.

Jingming, who was in a state of excitement, did not notice this bizarre phenomenon at all, and he only had one thought in his mind, that is to get this treasure.And following Jingming's strenuous swimming, the faint light became deeper and deeper, and gradually the bottom of the pool was shrouded in a mass of black, as dark as night, strange and unpredictable.

Jingming's figure also disappeared into this strange light, but Jingming himself didn't know it.In Jingming's eyes, there is only the treasure emitting the faint light, but the outline of this treasure is so blurred that Jingming can't see clearly at all.

Ever since Jing Ming jumped into the pool, the rising sun in the sky has just drifted down, and the moonlight has quietly fallen on the water surface. Jing Ming has been at the bottom of the pool for almost a day.

Jingming's sudden disappearance didn't attract anyone's attention, his existence was so insignificant, who would care about such a little monk!
Sometimes it's not a bad thing to be humble. If you were another disciple, the Lower Court would have caused a lot of trouble.

The moonlight scattered on the dark water surface, but it disappeared into the sea. There was no light flickering at all, but it made the already weird pool water even more mysterious.

In the depths of the pool, Jingming has lost consciousness, and his whole body is floating above the treasure emitting dim light, and his body is echoed by the treasure, and it is also glowing with dim light.

Jingming only felt that he had a long, long dream, which was too unbelievable. He seemed to see himself killing all directions, causing a catastrophe in the whole world, and almost achieved his goal. , Unfortunately, in the end, it was still on the brink of failure, and the body died.

In this strange dream, Jingming experienced and felt all kinds of things, and these experiences and feelings seemed to be real, which made him empathize with him.He knew that he was dreaming, but in the end he had forgotten that he was dreaming.

Crash, clatter!The night was already deep, and at this moment, a thin black shadow slowly came out of the pool, the dark pool water had returned to normal, becoming as clear and transparent as before, and this black shadow was naturally the pure clear.

The moonlight sprinkled on the water, and the silver light reflected on Jingming's body, and there was a strange smile on Jingming's immature face, and there was an indescribable aura lingering on Jingming's body.

Jing Ming slightly raised his head and looked up into the sky, a gleam of light flashed across his eyes.

"After all, the sky will not kill me!" Jingming sighed softly, with a look of emotion that didn't match his age.

"From now on, there will be no Demon Ancestor Rahu in the Three Realms!"

Hiss!As if feeling Jingming's oath, a thunder light suddenly flashed above the nine heavens, as if responding to Jingming.

This sudden vision naturally caused a mysterious move, and the saints felt it one after another. However, after some deduction, they found nothing and could only give up, but the saints did not let go of this matter.
