Chapter 501 Three Secrets, Two Characteristics
“All in?”

Ji Ming was stunned by the mantra sounded from the stele. After a while, he realized that this should be the oral secret among the three secrets of body, mouth and hearing, which is the "Dharani Heart Mantra", also known as the fundamental mantra.

"Om, Beshawanaye, Soha!"

Ji Ming recited it quietly, over and over again, trying to comprehend the Buddhist teachings contained therein.

It's not that he had never come across mantras before, for example, the mantra of the Burnt-faced Ghost King - "Om, Hesong, Liedelei, Adibadelei, Han!" He had once tried to recite and practice this mantra.

However, when his soul wandered in the "Altar of the Cemetery" that year, he was rejected by a Void Mother under the seat of the Ghost King under the sacred tree of the Northeast Laughing Forest. After that, he gave up the Ghost King's Dharani Mantra.

Simply obtaining the Dharani mantra is only a shallow connection.

Only when you have mastered the sitting method, hand seals, and even the ritual methods of the body tantra, as well as the visualization of the deity in the hearing tantra, can you truly be considered to have attained the cause and condition of Buddhism.

Especially the visualization of the deity in the secret hearing. Only if one has achieved the visualization of the deity, even if it is only a small part of it, it can be considered as a deep karmic affinity.

Buddhism is a systematic and complex practice that is truly different from Taoism. The first hurdle is karma. Ji Ming really did not have much confidence in his heart, so he could only concentrate on reciting, worship sincerely, and pray that this Buddhist stele would continue to bestow the Dharma.

I chanted until my mouth was dry and my tongue was parched. Apart from the sound of the mantra echoing in my ears, there was no other vision.

Ji Ming calmed his mind, stopped his impatience, cut off his attachment to Buddhism, waved a dozen pairs of slender insect claws, climbed straight forward into the sky, and climbed up the tall Buddhist stele.

"Destroy the Buddha and gain the Buddha."

Ji Ming understood clearly in his heart that since fate did not come by itself, he would go to follow it.

Then he gathered a cloud of mist in his throat and blew it violently at the mottled symbols on the stele, continuously. In an instant, frost and ice condensed.

The mist in the mouth was like a column, hitting the Buddhist stele fiercely, like steam coming out of a whale's hole. Ji Ming stretched out his dragon neck, and even spit out frosty air, but he still felt that the force was not enough. A pair of insect claws clasped the stele, and the dragon head pushed forward, and the frosty air in his mouth hit him even faster.

"No, not strong enough!"

Ji Ming said inwardly, took off the ancient shell under his chin and threw it on his body. As soon as the shell mouth opened, the purple energy in the Divine Scorpion Pearl flowed and dyed the dragon body, greatly blessing him. The frosty air in his breath was filled with a faint purple glow, and the power was increased several times.

With a low "hum" sound, the Buddha stele rebounded with force, and Ji Ming was knocked to the ground. His body smashed several demon corpses, and the corpses exploded into powder all over the ground.

He was trying to remain calm when he saw a white light and a silver light flying towards him from the left and right among the exploding corpse pieces. Ji Ming turned his body and was about to resist when he suddenly felt something and gladly accepted it.

The two lights entered his arms, and he saw a lion lying in the white light and a mouse curled up in the silver light.

"This"

Before Ji Ming could react, Er Guang had already entered the spiritual platform, and even jumped from the spiritual platform into the Divine Scorpion Pearl, hanging outside the second soul.

“This is a secret.”

Ji Ming felt something in his heart and said to himself.

He hurriedly recited the Dharani Mantra, and the second soul in the Divine Scorpion Pearl trembled. The power of the soul penetrated the two balls of spiritual light, and gradually learned many secrets of Buddhist practice from them.

The secret of oral recitation is Dharani, or mantra, and the secret of hearing is visualization in the mind.

The key is to visualize a certain Buddha, Bodhisattva, Venerable, etc. as your main deity in Buddhism, and this deep affinity is the characteristics that you obtain from the main deity, such as the main deity's beloved mount, the Dharma objects he holds, and the characteristics of the main deity's Dharma body such as three heads, six arms, three eyes, etc.

Ji Ming obtained two causes and conditions here, which are also the two characteristics of the deity. One is the white lion with green mane under his seat, and the other is the precious silver rat that accompanies him.

These two causes and conditions need to be transformed into reality in order to obtain more characteristics from the deity and step by step perfect the deity visualized in the mind. When the visualization is completed, the deity will bestow more profound Buddhist teachings.

Ji Ming carefully comprehended the wonderful method between the lion and the mouse, chanting the Dharani mantra more and more loudly, and his mind was drawn to the inner scene of his primordial spirit.

This inner scene was not created by Ji Ming himself, but was the result of the image of the deity's visualization entering into Ji Ming's soul and combining with the power of Ji Ming's soul to create an inner scene.

"Tick!"

"Tick!"

In the inner view of the soul, blood dripped from the long beard outside the wrinkled lips, drop by drop, gathering into a small pool of blood, which seeped in front of Ji Ming bit by bit. With a "step" sound, a fat animal paw stepped into the blood pool, splashing blood foam. Just as Ji Ming's mind was shocked by this scene, the bloody lips rushed into his field of vision, roaring fiercely, with fangs turned outward and a head of green mane dancing wildly.

The green-maned lion's head was ferocious and roaring, and its pure white body was tense. Ji Ming felt as if he heard a loud thunder, but his mind was only slightly disturbed and quickly calmed down.

The lion was dazed for a moment, then its roar gradually subsided. Its pair of green eyes stared at Ji Ming, and a silent mental confrontation was going on. The result of the confrontation was naturally unquestionable, as Ji Ming had the upper hand.

Although Ji Ming's second soul body has just entered the Tao, when it comes to soul strength, the average Jindan fourth level is no match for him, let alone this green-maned white lion.

The green-maned white lion knew that the Buddhist disciple in front of him had the fearlessness of a crouching lion and was not afraid even if the sky fell. So he immediately bowed his head as if to submit. But just as he bowed his head, a hand came towards him and gently stroked him.

The green-maned lion was instantly provoked by the gentle stroke of the hand. Although the Buddhist disciple had passed the test, he had not yet touched upon the subtleties of Buddhism. How dare he offend him like this? The lion opened its mouth and was about to bite the arm that was an extension of the Buddhist disciple's mind.

"Certainly!"

The green-maned lion made a move to bite, but a golden word appeared on the palm and the lion's body was instantly frozen.

Ji Ming performed the immobilization spell in his mind and immobilized the green-maned lion. Then he looked at the deity on the lion's back. As expected, he could not see the deity's full appearance. He only saw a fuzzy object covering the deity, revealing the lower half of the deity's body in a cross-legged sitting position.

When Ji Ming saw the deity's sitting posture, he immediately understood and thought to himself, "This is the sitting method in the body secret."

"Zhizhizhi~"

From the blurry and unrecognizable object covering the deity, a silver rat flew out, with a pointed snout and long whiskers, appearing and disappearing in the interior scene from time to time.

Ji Ming knew that after completely subduing the green-maned lion, he still needed to catch this precious rat so that he could visualize more features of the lion's original deity. Finally, he should visualize the whole picture step by step so as to receive the Buddhist teachings from the original deity.

For a moment, Ji Ming found that this method of hearing the secret and visualizing it was indeed mysterious.

After subduing the green-maned lion, he saw the sitting posture of the deity and obtained the sitting method of the secret body.

After catching the treasure rat, you will be able to see the hand seal held by the deity and obtain the great hand seal in the body secret.

In the interior scene, the silver mouse waved its thin tail, disappeared in the surroundings, and appeared occasionally, but never for more than a breath. Even if Ji Ming had the magical power to freeze the object that appeared by fate, he could do nothing to the treasure mouse.

While he was thinking about countermeasures, a cunning look flashed in the eyes of the silver rat. It stopped running away and took the initiative to drill into Ji Ming's arm. When it appeared again, the golden word of immobilization in its palm was already in its mouth.

On the head of the green-maned lion, the silver mouse's sharp teeth bit the golden characters frantically, grinding them until they made crackling sounds and sparkling spiritual light.

There was a teasing look in the rat's eyes, as if it wanted to give Ji Ming a good show. The next second, the golden characters were bitten to pieces by it, and the green-maned lion was released from its immobilization. It glared with its green eyes, turned its palm, and finally slapped the silver mouse down.

"Zhizhizhi~"

The silver mouse screamed wildly. It didn't know that the white lion had been completely subdued by Ji Ming. It still wanted to use the white lion to deal with Ji Ming. Now it was suppressed by the lion's palm. It wanted to hide in the void again, but it saw a palm coming towards it and was instantly fixed.

"It is just karma, or the manifestation of the characteristics of the deity. Although it has the nature of spiritual change, it does not have wisdom."

Ji Ming patted the white lion with green mane, took the precious rat in his hand, and then looked at the deity carried on the lion's body. He saw a blurry object covering the upper body began to appear. It was an auspicious wisdom light treasure banner.

There were many treasures hanging on the pagoda, which was rising slowly, revealing the hidden deity, allowing Ji Ming to see the "Seal for Attracting Wealth and Increasing Treasures" held in the deity's two arms.

This mudra is with both palms facing up, the right hand covering the left hand, and the two thumbs touching, forming a "treasure bowl" shape. It symbolizes the Buddhist Dharma of accumulating merit and virtue, and is also the fundamental seal of the deity.

Ji Ming took a look at the treasure tower that was still tightly covering the neck of the original body, and realized that he needed to transform the green-maned white lion and the precious silver mouse into reality in order to obtain this "treasure tower cause and condition" and thus reveal the original body's appearance.

He patted the green-maned white lion with his hand, and the lion opened its mouth and let out a deafening roar, which roared Ji Ming's mind out of this inner scene.

In reality, Ji Ming's dragon body softened and he almost fell to the ground. This inner scene consumed a lot of his soul, and even the second soul he had cultivated could not support it.

As soon as he thought of it, the divine scorpion bead inside the ancient beige flew out.

Ji Ming pointed at the two balls of spiritual light beside the second soul in the Divine Scorpion Pearl and muttered something. The white light obeyed and flew out in an instant following the spell. It rolled on the ground and turned into a white lion with green mane, which was very obedient.

However, the silver mouse in the silver light was unruly and ignored the spell that controlled it.
