Fellow Taoists, please respect yourself.

Chapter 405 Amitabha

"The entire Lingshan Mountain is..."

Jiang Lin's voice was not loud, but everyone could hear the extreme disgust and murderous intent in his tone.

It was like seeing the most disgusting thing in my life, and I wanted to kill it as soon as possible.

Cangjie stood in front of Jiang Lin.

"Young friend Jiang, hold your breath and concentrate. Something is wrong with you."

Cangjie spoke in a deep voice, and traces appeared above the void, engraved at a level deeper than space, and these traces vaguely formed characters.

That is the earliest and most ancient writing from the human race.

At this moment, these words reappeared across eternity of time and protected Jiang Lin.

The many human sages present knew about the so-called evil creatures from outside the world, and they knew how difficult these things were to deal with.

If Jiang Lin's perception is correct, then according to him, the entire sacred mountain in front of him has been contaminated by evil creatures from outside the world.

This made the human ancestors present feel a chill in their hearts.

This is the ancestral home of Buddhism, the sacred land of Lingshan. There are more than forty great masters guarding it all year round, and even top masters like the Three Buddhas of the Past, Present and Future are included.

There is also a Tathagata Buddha who can compete with Ziwei Emperor, who is the number one in the three realms today!

Such a Buddhist sect, such a sacred mountain, was actually completely infiltrated by evil creatures from outside the world...

Without saying anything else, just this one thing is enough to make everyone shudder.

Are those Buddhas dead or assimilated?
Where did the Tathagata go? What happened to the other three Buddhas?

"call……"

Jiang Lin let out a long breath, slowly stood up, with the terrifying red light still in his eyes.

In his eyes, Lingshan was no longer the paradise with majestic appearance and Buddha's light.

The entire Lingshan Mountain, from the Leiyin Temple to every blade of grass and tree, has extended black and sticky tentacles that are slowly swaying.

With every swing, the twisted and evil patterns depicted on those tentacles would wriggle as if they were alive. Just one look at it was enough to make people feel endless chills.

That kind of pure weirdness without any other mixture was so strange and evil that even Jiang Lin felt his hair stand on end.

The evil creature from outside the world might have some intelligence, but this thing has only one purpose since its birth.

That is, to render the entire Three Realms into the form required by the evil creatures from outside the realm.

There is no life, no waves, only dead silence, absolute dead silence.

Perhaps they had sensed Jiang Lin's presence, the countless evil creatures from outside the Lingshan Mountain began to wriggle and twist more frequently and violently.

Obscure waves began to spread.

Under these increasingly frequent fluctuations, the evil creatures from outside the world could no longer hide themselves and could be seen by others present.

"Oh shit!"

Cangjie couldn't help but swear, his pupils trembled slightly, and he clenched his teeth tightly.

The fact that a great sage of the human race in ancient times could make him behave like this is enough to show how horrible the spiritual pollution of human beings caused by this evil creature from other world is.

If Cangjie were to make an analogy, he would rather do the butterfly stroke in a cesspool that had been fermenting for tens of thousands of years than look directly at the evil things outside the world.

The disgust and murderous intent that came from the bottom of their hearts, which even the great masters of supernatural powers could not control, emerged from the great sages of the human race present.

"Namo..."

At this moment, a Buddhist chant was heard above the twisted and strange sacred mountain.

I saw a Buddha walking out of Lingshan Mountain. He had an undying Buddha light on his body and an air of bliss and peace, as if he was not affected or contaminated by the evil things from outside the world at all.

At least that's what Cangjie and others saw.

“You are… Amitabha?”

Cangjie frowned. He was not chanting the Buddha's name, but the Buddha title of this monk who walked out of Lingshan was Amitabha.

One of the Three Buddhas of the past, present and future, the Lord of the Western Paradise, Amitabha!
This Buddha, who frequently appears in the mouths of almost every Buddhist, has very little presence in Buddhism.

This is also the reason of Tathagata Buddha.

This World Honored One, namely Sakyamuni, occupies the position of the present Buddha among the vertical three Buddhas, and the position of the Lord of the Central Huayan World among the horizontal three Buddhas.

However, the Lingshan Mountain, the ancestral home of Buddhism, was built on the projection of the Western Paradise, that is, Xiniu Hezhou.

Of course, this is Buddhism’s own statement. In fact, the so-called Western Paradise, the Chinese Huayan World, and the Eastern Lapis Lazuli World are actually the three small worlds of Buddhism.

These three small worlds are attached to the Three Realms and essentially belong to the Buddha Kingdom. They are also the true foundation of Buddhism.

As long as the three great Buddhist kingdoms still exist, Buddhism will not be completely destroyed.

Of course, the establishment of the Great Leiyin Temple did indeed project a part of the Western Paradise onto the Three Realms.

That is today's Lingshan.

The reason why Tathagata Buddha did this was to suppress Amitabha Buddha, and he might even be plotting for the position of the Lord of the Western Paradise.

This also leads to the fact that most of the time, Amitabha Buddha only appears in the mouths of Buddhists, but rarely appears in person.

Now, Amitabha Buddha appeared before everyone.

The God of Wind and the God of Rain, as well as several other great sages of the human race, all stood beside Cangjie.

No matter how Amitabha Buddha is suppressed within Buddhism, he is still one of the five pillars of Buddhism and a top-notch person with supernatural powers.

The attention that deserves should never be neglected.

"Namo..."

Amitabha chanted the Buddha's name again, took slow steps forward, stepped on the clouds, and walked towards Cangjie and others.

"Stop."

Cangjie concentrated and scolded.

And Amitabha actually stopped and stopped about a hundred feet away from Jiang Lin and others.

This scene also made Cangjie a little stunned.

A seemingly unharmed Buddha walked out of the sacred mountain that was infiltrated by evil creatures from outside the world. This in itself revealed an evil nature.

Although Cangjie did not see any hostility or malice from this Amitabha Buddha, it did not prevent Cangjie from being 100% vigilant.

Everyone is well aware of how difficult it is to deal with the evil creatures from outside the world.

"Seniors, there is no need to do this."

At this time, Jiang Lin suddenly spoke.

Even, walk out from Cangjie and face Amitabha Buddha not far away.

Cangjie frowned, but did not stop Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin and Amitabha looked at each other. In Jiang Lin's eyes, the Buddha's body was entangled with countless evil spirits from other worlds, which transformed into tentacles. However, they did not wriggle outward. Instead, they drilled into Amitabha's body like leeches.

However, it was blocked by a seemingly shallow layer of Buddha's light.

Although most of his body had been "lost", Jiang Lin knew that this Buddha still maintained his consciousness and intelligence, and had not been completely infiltrated and devoured.

"You seem to be forcibly burning your own life relic."

Jiang Lin spoke slowly.

Thanks to his special attack on the evil creatures from outside the world and the current state of Amitabha Buddha being corroded, Jiang Lin was able to peek into the current situation of this Buddha.

Amitabha Buddha is burning his own natal relics in exchange for a brief period of spiritual clarity, but when the natal relics are burned out, the Buddha will also perish.

But if Amitabha Buddha sacrificed his own relics, thus falling to the level of a great supernatural being, and would never be able to recover, his own life would naturally...

"If not for this, the old monk would not have appeared."

Amitabha opened his mouth slowly, with a slight smile on his face which was covered with strange black energy.

But Jiang Lin could sense many complex meanings in that smile.

It is unknown how long Amitabha's current situation has lasted. Even if it is an evil creature from outside the world, it is impossible to force a top Buddha to the point of burning his life relics in such a short time, but it should not be such a violent burning and overdraft.

This Buddha seemed to have foreseen Jiang Lin, or someone would come to Lingshan, so he further forced himself to burn his natal relics to gain a brief period of freedom.

Moreover, he appeared as a Buddha with Buddha's light, which even those with great supernatural powers could not see through.

The purpose is to maintain a Buddha, or to maintain the last dignity and respect of Buddhism. Even if he has to die, he will die as a Buddha, as a Buddhist, not as a puppet controlled by evil things from outside the world.

"I benefited from this and saw something."

Amitabha continued to speak, and the benefits he mentioned were also from the forced burning of his own natal relics.

Jiang Lin remained silent.

Amitabha continued, "I saw the donor, and I also saw some other things."

"So, here I am, the old monk, to see the donor."

Jiang Lin looked up when he heard this, as if he knew Amitabha's purpose, and stretched out his hand towards him.

"You have something for me?"

Jiang Lin used a question mark, but his tone was very affirmative.

"Namo..."

Amitabha smiled and nodded, raised his hand, and slowly inserted it into his heart.

It is worth mentioning that most of Amitabha Buddha's body has been contaminated and corroded by evil things, but there is no evil spirit at all on his head, heart, and the right hand that is now inserted into his heart.

He took out a heart from his chest.

This is not the heart of Amitabha Buddha, but the manifestation of a great power.

“The mind is originally the state of Buddha, and Buddha is originally the state of mind.”

Amitabha spoke with a smile, his voice and expression showing relief and a hint of pleading.

"The Buddhist Western Paradise is now entrusted to the donor."

He slowly pushed out the heart that represented one of the three Buddhist worlds, the Western Paradise.

The fluorescent, slowly beating heart, like a ruby, came in front of Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin reached out and caught it without hesitation.

Seeing this scene, the smile on Amitabha's lips widened a little.

This is exactly his purpose. Buddhism needs to keep the last spark of fire, and the most suitable person to entrust this spark to is definitely someone from Taoism.

Only the people of Taoism would be so selfless that, after all the disasters are over, they would use this spark as a foundation to create a new Buddhism.

The mortal enemy you have fought for countless years is the one who least wants you to be completely destroyed.

"Please, benefactor, take this old monk back to the village."

Amitabha clasped his hands together and bowed to Jiang Lin.

"It's what you wish for."

Jiang Lin sighed, raised his hand, and summoned the Seven Star Sword.

With his body trembling, he had already arrived in front of Amitabha Buddha, raised his hand and swung the sword.

The sword light was not particularly bright or sharp, but the evil creature from outside the world that was residing in Amitabha's body and was briefly suppressed by him let out extremely terrified screams and wails.

When Amitabha heard the wailing, a hint of pleasure flashed in his eyes. He completely removed all his defenses and even took the initiative to lower his realm and physical body so that Jiang Lin's sword could actually kill him.

As the sword fell, the evil creatures from outside the world were destroyed, and Amitabha Buddha himself was also cut down by the sword.

In his last moments, the voice of Amitabha Buddha rang in Jiang Lin's ears.

"Carrying two fruit positions is not a sign of strength, but rather a responsibility and sacrifice. The pressure on Sakyamuni is very great, so great that he cannot bear the fact that the Buddhist ancestral temple is established on the Huayan World in the Central Plains."

"It was this old monk who volunteered to establish the Lingshan ancestral temple in the Western Paradise and was willing to hide behind the scenes."

"The real Sakyamuni would never have the thought of seeking the Western Paradise to further strengthen himself..."

The sound slowly disappeared.

Jiang Lin lowered his eyes and looked at the red-gold light left after the death of Amitabha Buddha in front of him.

This little light is burning and will soon burn out. It is the natal relic of Amitabha Buddha and also the last remaining one.

"The Taoist master Jiang Xuanying of the Xuan generation, the Northern Emperor of Taoism, respectfully sends Amitabha back to the abyss."

Jiang Lin bowed slowly.

When Jiang Lin looked up again, the red light in front of him slowly went out.

It also means that the last remnants of Amitabha Buddha in the world have completely disappeared.

'laugh……'

This seems to be a signal.

I saw that above the sacred mountain, in the originally eerie darkness, rays of Buddha's light suddenly burst out.

These rays of Buddha's light are not very bright, but they are like a big net that covers the entire Lingshan Mountain.

Those spots of light are the nodes on this big net, and at the same time, they are also the burning relics of a Buddha.

Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, Manjusri Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva,
Looking at the natal relics that were about to burn out and sensing the aura that was famous throughout the Three Realms, Jiang Lin remained silent.

Pure Joy Buddha, Vairocana Buddha, Treasure Banner King Buddha, Amitayus Buddha...

Among the forty-eight Buddhas, the life relics of more than twenty are burning here.

Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, Manjusri Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva...

The Bodhisattvas whose strength could rival that of the Buddha were almost all burning.

Among these Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, Jiang Lin had never seen some before, or had only heard of some of them. He had not only seen some of them but also had a karmic hatred with them.

But now, everything has disappeared with the burning of his life relics.

This huge net covering Lingshan, which was built by many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas burning their own relics, also solved many doubts.

For example, why was there such a big commotion, but Lingshan, which had long been infected by evil creatures from outside the world, did not move?

For example, why even when Jiang Lin was right in front of him, those evil creatures from outside the world did not unleash their evil power at the first moment, and try their best to complete the duties assigned to them by the mastermind, that is, the person who cast the spell, before being destroyed.

All these doubts have been explained at this time.

Buddhism is by no means a soft persimmon that can be bullied at will, nor is it a coward that will take a beating without fighting back.

Although it is irreversible, Buddhism is definitely not short of martyrs and sages with strong will.

This huge net that sealed off the entire Lingshan Mountain in exchange for voluntary sacrifice is Buddhism's resistance and also its way of expressing apology to the three realms.

"Buddhism is worthy of being the righteous path of the three realms."

Cangjie sighed and at the same time mobilized all his strength.

"Brothers, the Buddhist sect has suffered an unexpected disaster, but they have done everything they could. It is our turn now."

As Cang Jie spoke, every great sage of the human race present mobilized their own great strength.

Everyone could see that the huge net of relics covering Lingshan Mountain was no longer able to hold on.

In other words, being able to hold on until Amitabha Buddha can safely hand over the last spark of Buddhism is already the limit of the limit.

Whether it is the human sages or Jiang Lin, they all know one thing very clearly.

Perhaps in the next moment, the huge relic net will collapse, and the evil creatures from outside the world scattered throughout Lingshan will lose their control.

Looking at the evil creatures from outside the world that are about to break the seal and are all over Lingshan.

Jiang Lin's figure moved, and suddenly turned into a stream of light, heading straight for Lingshan!

He is not the type to wait for his opponent to "accumulate strength".

Seeing that the enemy is in trouble, it is natural to take advantage of the opportunity!

'Om...'

As if in the midst of the wailing vibrations, the relic net suddenly collapsed at this moment.

'laugh! ! ! '

A strange, dark, and extremely evil aura began to spread, turning the entire Xiniu Hezhou, and even the entire Three Realms, into a dead silent place!

However, before the dead silence could spread, sword lights appeared!
'Zheng! '

Jiang Lin stood on Lingshan Mountain holding the Seven-Star Sword in his hand. As the sword flashed, murderous aura spread everywhere!
