The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 433: Not Saving All Living Things, Saving One Person

Immortal golden body!

Zhang Jiuyang and Yue Ling looked at each other, his heart was filled with waves, he did not expect that it was really an indestructible golden body!
The divine monk Prajna is the old monk in the Yinmala fruit who used red beans as Buddhist beads and passed on his golden body and supernatural powers.

Zhang Jiuyang was very grateful to the monk, who gave him a chance to use the third level of the Immortal Golden Body, which helped him successfully rescue the Dragon Girl. He also defeated the Painted Skin Master at the Huangquan Gathering and established his prestige.

That was the turning point of his lurking in Huangquan. From then on, he was at the peak of his career in Huangquan and no one dared to look down on him anymore.

Moreover, this magical power of the Indestructible Golden Body did help him in many battles and even saved his life several times.

Although he now has the Taoist golden shield to protect his body, he still hasn't given up his practice of the Immortal Golden Body and has already reached the threshold of the third level.

Therefore, Zhang Jiuyang attached great importance to his promise to the monk, so he chose Sanbao as the inheritor of this magical power and prepared to send him to Baiyun Temple to practice.

Seeing the strange looks on Zhang Jiuyang and Yue Ling's faces, Tongji thought that they didn't believe him, so he explained, "This unique skill has long been lost. The name may be a bit exaggerated, but it is definitely the world's top golden body magical power. It's just that the Prajna monk rarely uses it, so few people know about it."

"No, the name is not exaggerated."

Zhang Jiuyang suddenly spoke out.

Tongji was a little surprised and was about to say something, but he was stunned the next moment. His pupils were shocked, and even the sun disk between his eyebrows lost its luster.

Zhang Jiuyang's body was filled with brilliant golden and silver light. The silver light was mixed with extremely pure golden light, which was full of an eternal and immortal aura.

At this moment, Zhang Jiuyang was like an arhat from the lower world, full of the vast Buddhist charm, with an indescribable majesty and awe.

"This is the Immortal Golden Body. In this world today, I think no one is more qualified than me to evaluate this magical power."

There was a dazed look in Tongji's eyes. Although he had never seen the Immortal Golden Body, according to the ancient books in the temple, the magical powers displayed by Zhang Jiuyang were very similar to the legendary Immortal Golden Body.

He should be at the second level of Silver Arhat, but has already touched the threshold of the third level.

Those strands of brilliant golden light are the true essence of the Indestructible Golden Body. It is said that the first two levels are just laying the foundation, and once the third level is cultivated, one can achieve the indestructible golden body and enter the seventh realm with the physical body!
This is a road that has never been taken before, and the divine monk Prajna is the end of this road. With his unparalleled talent, he created a path to physical sainthood, but it has not been passed down.

Every time they thought of this, the fellow disciples of Baiyun Temple all sighed with regret. Who would have thought that he would actually see the real Immortal Golden Body today, and the person who performed it was a Taoist priest?
"You, how did you learn this magical power?"

Tongji seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he asked hurriedly: "Is it possible that the great monk Prajna has not passed away, but is he still alive in the world?"

If this is true, it would definitely be great news for Baiyun Temple.

The divine monk Prajna, who was hailed as the living Buddha eight hundred years ago, walked the world and suppressed all enemies. All the monsters, ghosts, and goblins had no choice but to flee for their lives in front of him.

At that time, even the headmaster of Yuding Palace felt inferior to him.

But later he suddenly went into seclusion. At that time, no one thought that he would fail, because with his talent and the tyranny of his indestructible golden body, almost nothing could threaten him.

But who would have thought that the invincible monk Prajna suddenly passed away, and even his golden body that was said to be indestructible quickly decayed into dust.

There has always been a debate about this matter in Baiyun Temple. Many people think that the death of the great monk Prajna was not simple, and some even think that he is not dead.

If that person is really not dead, then what else in this world can threaten Baiyun Temple?

Even if Venerable Gesang, who was at the peak of his powers, came here, it would be useless!

But to his disappointment, Zhang Jiuyang shook his head.

"The divine monk Prajna had already passed away. I accidentally found a Yinmala fruit, which contained a trace of the divine monk's residual soul. That's how I was taught my magical powers."

"Yinmo Luo fruit!"

Tongji was shocked and murmured, "It turns out that before the monk Prajna passed away, he encountered the Mara body ghost."

The Yinmala fruit is transformed from an evil ghost deep in the underworld. This ghost is called the killing evil ghost, also known as the Mara body ghost. The Buddhist scriptures mention that this ghost likes to eat the souls of monks the most, and often appears when the monks pass away.

If the monk has a deep enough knowledge of Buddhism, he will often follow the example of the Buddha and cut his flesh to feed the eagle, feed the devil with his body, and take the initiative to offer his soul, using the compassion in his soul to influence the evil ghost, so that it will have good thoughts and prevent it from returning to the underworld.

Nine days later, the Mara body ghost who has good thoughts will transform into a fruit named Yin Mara.

After Zhang Jiuyang successfully climbed the mountain in Huangquan and secured the ninth seat, Tianzun gave him this Yinmola fruit to congratulate the ninth heavenly stem Yama on his return to his position.

This item is extremely precious and rare, and it helped Zhang Jiuyang a lot. He even secretly made fun of Tianzun at that time, thinking that he was using Huangquan's resources to fight against Huangquan.

But now, after listening to Tongji's story, he began to realize that something was wrong, and also realized what he had overlooked. The Yinmola fruit contained the inheritance of the Prajna monk. Did Tianzun know this?
He thought that Tianzun should know about it, but even so, he still gave it to him. Could there be some unknown meaning behind this?
Another point is, how did Tianzun get this Yinmola fruit?

Could it be that he has some kind of connection with the Prajna monk?

Thinking of this, Zhang Jiuyang felt a little excited. He felt as if he had discovered a flaw in the Heavenly Venerable.

Perhaps through this, we can unearth more secrets related to Tianzun?

"Master Tongji, please tell me everything about Master Prajna. This matter is extremely important. As for this immortal golden body, I am willing to obey Master Prajna's last wish and return it to your temple."

Hearing this, Tongji was somewhat moved, and he immediately looked at Zhang Jiuyang with much more respect.

You know, this is the legendary immortal golden body that combines the thirteen kinds of unique martial arts of Baiyun Temple into one, and it is an unparalleled magical power that is able to fight in the seven realms!
Moreover, Zhang Jiuyang and Yue Ling already have the capital to look down on the world, and even Baiyun Temple cannot force them. However, he is willing to keep his promise and return the skills to Baiyun Temple.

He admired this kind of mentality, so he no longer concealed it and told her all the secrets he had read, as well as the contents of the manuscript left by the great monk Prajna.

It also allowed the story of the great monk Prajna to be revealed in its original form for the first time after being washed away and buried by the long years.

"The Divine Monk Prajna is the 13th generation head of the Demon Subduing Institute of Baiyun Temple. He is also a senior whom I admire very much. When I was young, I often went to his place of practice to face the wall. I accidentally discovered the manuscripts he left behind."

"After reading it, I finally understood the story of the monk Prajna. It was a very sad story."

It turns out that before becoming a monk, the monk Prajna was a fierce general of the previous dynasty Dajing. He had a generous character, great righteousness, superb martial arts, and always led the charge in every battle, brave as a tiger.

When he first joined the army, he showed his talent in horizontal training. With just a common martial art circulated in the mortal world, "Bronze Body and Iron Pillar Kung Fu", he was able to hone his body to the pinnacle. He could pull nine oxen's tails backwards and hold two purple gold hammers weighing hundreds of pounds. He was invulnerable to swords and spears on the battlefield and was invincible.

In one battle after another, he made great military achievements and thought he would be promoted. However, he did not expect that Dajing at that time, like Daqian today, had become extremely corrupt.

All his military achievements were taken away by others. He watched mediocre people rise to prominence, while he, who was wholeheartedly devoted to serving his country and fighting bravely against the enemy, would always be just a lieutenant general.

With a hot temper, he finally rushed into the general's tent and beat up those who had embezzled military merits. Then he left the army, determined to return to his hometown, live a peaceful life with his wife, and never ask about state affairs again.

But what he didn't expect was that when he returned to his hometown, he was devastated to find that the village he once knew had become a dead place, and the fellow villagers who had scraped together money for him when he joined the army had become headless corpses.

And his childhood sweetheart, the child bride that his father exchanged for three pounds of red beans during the year of severe drought, was also beheaded. The only thing that could be identified was the red bean bracelet on her wrist.

Although she was bought, the two grew up together and were very much in love after getting married. After their parents passed away, they depended on each other. If he hadn't heard that the country was in trouble, he would never have left.

He also saw an unfinished winter coat at home. He had written to her not long ago, saying that the weather was cold and the winter coats in the army were filled with straw, so he sent her three taels of silver and asked her to make two warm winter coats. However, the clothes were stained with blood before they were finished.

After crying bitterly, he decided to take revenge.

The winter clothes had not been knitted yet and the body had not rotted, which meant that the murderer had not been killed for too long. At first, he suspected that it was the Liao soldiers, but in recent months, he had been fighting with the Liao soldiers on the border, keeping the enemy out of the country, and he had no idea how many invading enemies he had repelled.

The Liao soldiers can’t possibly fly.

After investigation, he finally discovered the truth that made him extremely angry. It turned out that the people who massacred the village were Han generals. They were not satisfied with the military merits of the frontline soldiers, and they even killed innocent people to claim credit, and used the heads of Han people as Liao soldiers to receive rewards and promotions.

In a rage, he broke into the military camp and beat all the 300 officers and soldiers who massacred the village into meat paste. The general who led the troops was crushed to pieces from head to toe by him.

Then he became disheartened and decided to commit suicide after finding his wife's head. However, he was not destined to die as he met a monk from Baiyun Temple who was traveling in the area.

In order to let him survive, the monk told him that all living things are reincarnated, and as long as he survived, one day his wife would come back and they would continue their previous relationship.

From then on, he became a disciple of the eminent monk and practiced diligently.

Different from other cultivators, he had little interest in many fighting skills and magical powers, and was most interested in the art of horizontal training.

Because in his opinion, only by polishing his body to the extreme and reaching the state of eternal immortality can he support himself to reach the other side of immortality and wait for his wife to reincarnate.

"In fact, he could have become the abbot of Baiyun Temple, but he refused because he felt ashamed of the Buddha."

"He said he didn't want to become a Buddha, let alone save sentient beings. He practiced Buddhism for decades, but he only wanted to save one person."

"Between the Buddha and his wife, he always chooses the latter."
