Chapter 189
"This pagoda Kunlun is the treasure of Master Minglun. You can choose a golden lotus to sit cross-legged on it." The abbot Foxiu opened his mouth and ordered everyone to go up to the golden lotus.From the perspective of the Buddha cultivator below, those golden lotuses are all floating in the air, with no steps or ropes to climb.
Shanjing stared and said, "There is no support, how can I go up?"
At present, among the monks, some people jumped upwards and climbed up to the lotus platform by themselves.Just as the others were about to go up, the crowd who first encountered the lotus platform suddenly yelled and fell down!Immediately afterwards, the monk who jumped the highest and wanted to take the lead fell down one after another!
Yuankong and Shanjing opened their eyes wide and looked at the falling people one by one. Those with high hearts jumped higher at first, and the more miserable they fell.Shanjing hurriedly found the shortest golden lotus and tried to jump up, but as soon as she touched the edge of the golden lotus, she let go and fell down with a yell as if her hand was burned.
"It seems that I'm going to break here," Shan Jing said with concern, "Yuankong, do you have a solution?"
Jia Ke thought: Yuan Kong is not much smarter than you, if he has a way, I must have a way.
Sure enough, Yuankong said in a low voice: "Zhuzhu, what should I do!"
Jaco snorted and said lazily, "Why should I tell you?"
Yuan Kong froze for a moment: "You are my prayer beads."
"I am your prayer beads and not your father. Why should I tell you, and you won't do me any favors?"
Yuan Kong was stunned for a moment, and said, "Master said that you don't ask for anything in return..."
"Buddha also pays attention to karmic rewards," Jia Ke said, "You ask me for something, but you don't give me rewards, how can you judge karma?"
Yuan Kong was stunned for a long time, then said in a tangled state, "You... what benefits do you want?"
Jia Ke thought for a while and said: "First of all, I am not your Buddhist beads. I am such a spiritual Bodhi beads. There is no second string in the world. I have taught you so many things. You want me to be your predecessor. look."
Yuankong thought about it and thought it made sense, Zhuzhu taught him a lot and was older than him, so Yuankong nodded.
"Second," said Jacco, "don't call me Zhuzhu again."
"What do you call you?" Yuankong wrinkled his face.
"Call me...call me...call me senior." Jaco didn't even think about what name to use, so he said impatiently.
Seeing that Yuankong had been talking to himself, Shanjing asked, "Yuankong, what are you talking about?"
Yuankong looked at him and said, "Senior Zhuzhu asked me to take a closer look at this golden lotus."
Jaco: "..."
"Who is Senior Zhuzhu?" Shanjing asked.
Yuankong held up the beads in his hand and said, "It's my -- this string of beads around my neck."
Shanjing stared at Jia Ke with wide eyes for a long time without seeing why. Jia Ke was annoyed by him, so she said, "What are you looking at, little bald head."
Shanjing was startled, jumped up suddenly, pointed at Jia Ke and said, "This, this prayer beads can talk?!"
Both Jia Ke and Yuan Kong were stunned for a moment, Jia Ke's heart skipped a beat, and he asked again: "Can you hear me?"
Shanjing looked at Jia Ke as if seeing a ghost, and said, "Yuan, Yuan...Kong, did you hear what he said?"
Yuankong said: "Senior Zhuzhu has always been able to talk."
At this moment, Jia Ke's heart is screwed up.Shanjing can hear him, which means that other than Yuankong, other people can hear him.Before going down the mountain, he was sure that his voice had never been heard by other monks. After going down the mountain, he had devoured a lot of goblin ghosts. Could it be that his strength has improved?It's understandable that mortals can't hear him, but... besides mortals, there is also that mage Silu who walked with them!
Jia Ke felt as if he had seen a ghost, and he dared not speak for a while.
Yuan Kong seemed somewhat relieved and happy.He said: "Senior Zhuzhu said earlier that this lotus is used to test our state of mind, and we need to look carefully to see the clue."
Yuankong said and looked at the lotus in front of him.Jia Ke knows that this little idiot, Yuan Kong, sometimes has difficulty understanding things, but because of this, his state of mind is as pure as a blank sheet of paper, and it may be difficult for him to develop demons when he grows up.
Sure enough, after Yuankong watched for half an hour, his eyes widened as if he saw something.He saw a few lines of small characters appearing under the golden rosette, so he let out a small cry in surprise.
Jacco asked, "What did you see?"
"It said: 'The ignorant child also tried to climb my pagoda in vain, and overestimated his own strength.'" Yuan Kong said seriously, "But the master said that there are no difficulties in the world, if it is difficult, it must lead to the place where the heart wants. All I seek in Buddhist practice is to get rid of the world of reincarnation and realize various fruits... If climbing the pagoda is a difficult thing, it must be a must on my way, and I will climb it no matter what."
After Yuan Kong finished speaking, the line above disappeared, and then a faint golden chain hung down, and Yuan Kong grabbed it as soon as he stretched out his hand.Shanjing on the side widened her eyes in astonishment and saw that Yuankong was climbing up as if catching something invisible, and quickly looked around, only to see that many people were also climbing up as if relying on something, Others murmured under the lotus thoughtfully.
Shanjing hurriedly found another golden lotus, stared at it hard, wondering whether his master who had not been enlightened by the Buddha forgot to open his own eyes, so that he could not see anything.
However, in the next second, a few lines of words appeared on the base of the golden lotus: "The talent is poor and weak, and the limbs are not diligent. There is no hope for the journey of Buddhahood."
Shanjing froze for a moment, her face changed a little, and she said, "Could it be that this is to judge the qualifications of the disciples? My qualifications are not as good as Yuankong, but..."
"People are valuable with self-knowledge, insufficient practice, and haunted dreams due to depravity, desire, and greed. They have no Buddha heart and lack sincerity. Where did they come from and where did they go. The Kunlun Pagoda does not leave useless people, and does not leave those who do not respect the Buddha. Those who have six faculties will not be left behind!"
Shanjing's face turned pale, as if she had been hit by something, and she fell down on the ground, but seeing the famous disciples around her go up one by one, as if they were pinching the passage, there was only a large golden character above her: " roll!"
Yuankong had already reached the top of the rosette, he looked down, but saw Shanjing's face was pale, embarrassed and in a trance.Jia Ke said: "That little guy has a low self-esteem, and he may not be able to get up."
Yuankong was in a hurry, and quickly yelled at Shanjing, Shanjing seemed to feel something, glanced at him, but couldn't hear anything Yuankong said.One day after another, they couldn't even have a conversation.
Shanjing thought of this, jumped up immediately, and said loudly: "All living beings are equal in the eyes of the Buddha. The demons are rampant in this pagoda. Why don't we keep people who disrespect the Buddha? I was not born as a disciple of the sect. Is it possible that I can't even speak?" Have you told someone? Your tower is really not a good tower, and you have divided people into different classes!"
As soon as Shanjing finished speaking, a gold chain gradually dropped from the rosette, and Shanjing's eyes widened.As soon as he grabbed the golden lotus, Yuankong could hear what he said.Yuankong said happily: "Senior Zhuzhu, you see he still came up!"
Just listen to the string of prayer beads say: "Then don't worry about it, don't think that you're done when you get on the lotus throne."
Just as Yuankong wanted to ask why, he saw the golden lotus under his seat vibrate, and the base of the golden lotus above his head displayed two lines of words: "Would you like to be under others? Have you not fulfilled your master's wish?"
Yuankong froze for a moment, his eyes suddenly became a little loose.
Not far away, a monk looked at this place, but it was Wuyi who didn't know when he came in.He looked at Yuankong above and frowned, "How did Yuankong get to the second floor?"
"Teaching well." Wuyi's fellow Buddhist cultivator smiled and said, "Yuankong doesn't look very clever, but he is very wise and stupid. Many people have come down, but Yuankong went up in one go."
Wuyi frowned.He is Yuankong's master, so he naturally understands how dull Yuankong can be at ordinary times. Originally, he thought that Yuankong could go this far at most. The golden lotus in the Kunlun Pagoda is enough for him to cultivate his mind and comprehend for several years. Why did he suddenly become enlightened? up?
Seeing Yuankong's eyes stiffen, Jia Ke thought to himself that this golden lotus is not easy.Handwriting is not just handwriting, but also a hint or inducement.In Yuankong's eyes, these words are like little hooks, hooking out the most worrying, most puzzling, and most embarrassing thoughts and memories in his heart.This hurdle is probably more difficult for those Buddhist practitioners in the youth group and adult group, but it is easier for the youth group, because they have not yet broken away from childishness and have not yet had such a complicated state of mind.
But this time Yuankong struggled there for a long time.Jia Ke has been following Yuankong for seven years, but he doesn't know what Wuyi's wish is for Yuankong to come true, and he doesn't know what Yuankong is struggling with.He glanced at Shanjing who finally climbed up out of breath, only to see that Shanjing didn't look up at all, so he didn't see any handwriting.He just gasped there, and it took a long while before he called out to Yuankong twice.
Yuankong was awakened suddenly, and looked back at the word again, causing Shanjing to look up too.So Yuankong and Jia Ke heard Shanjing say: "What a mess, I am already very tired after climbing this platform, where do I get the strength to climb up again..."
Yuankong was stunned for a moment, then said seriously: "Shanjing is right, I am already very tired."
Jia Ke smiled inwardly, thinking that the two people really complement each other, so he looked around, and saw that many Buddhist practitioners who first climbed the first lotus seat had already started to move towards the second lotus seat.However, countless people looked confused and took a step out from the lotus platform they had set up before and fell down!
Yuankong and Shanjing were very surprised, and the other disciples of the youth group also showed surprise expressions when they saw the Buddha Xiu who fell from the youth group and the adult group.Jia Ke snorted and said with a smile: "The concentration power of this group of Buddhist practitioners is not very good."
Yuankong and Shanjing didn't dare to move again, and there were only a handful of people who climbed the second lotus platform again. After a while, the head of the Buddhist practice stood up and counted the people who were still sitting on the lotus platform.
Both Yuankong and Shanjing stayed behind.
Jia Ke looked at the pagoda, which was almost endless, and asked with a frown, "Is there no limit in this game? Just keep going up? It's not even clear how many games will be played."
Shanjing heard Jia Ke's words, and immediately said: "The Ten Directions Buddhist Association has always been unlimited. Whoever persists to the end will be the No. 1 Buddhist Association. Almost all Buddhist disciples have come to the Ten Directions Buddhist Association. Master Lun was No.1 in the adult group in the previous session, and the venue at that time was provided by Master Guangzu."
Yuan Kong comforted Jia Ke and said: "Master just asked me to learn more. Now I can see so many outstanding people of the same generation. I am satisfied, but I can't go on..."
"Who's going to tell you that you won't be able to continue?" Jia Ke said, "Did you forget the nine domain ban? Forgot the Tower of Freedom?"
Yuan Kong flattened his mouth and looked at his senior brothers.Jia Ke hated iron and steel and said: "Your brothers are not you, do you dare to let your master down?"
"He's not here..." Yuan Kong whispered.
"Who says he's not here?" As soon as Jia Ke said, Yuankong immediately jumped up in surprise, looked in the direction indicated by Jia Ke, and happened to meet the frowning Wuyi.
Yuan Kong immediately turned his head and was dripping with cold sweat: "Master is here!"
Seeing Wuyi, Yuankong immediately sat upright and didn't even dare to gossip. Seeing that Yuankong's ranking jumped up a few notches, Jia Ke said: "This tower has a total of 99 floors. You are in the youth group. If you can go to the [-]th floor, you will be unable to escape the quota of banning in the Nine Regions."
Shanjing on the side said: "Senior Zhuzhu can see through this Kunlun Pagoda?"
Jia Ke paused, and said as a matter of course: "Of course, I am a string of bodhi beads." Shan Jing was envious and admired, staring at Jia Ke all the time, and couldn't help asking Jia Ke how to improve and how to move forward next. OK.Jia Ke saw that the monk ranked first was already above, so he casually said a few words to them.In his eyes, even the competition in the adult group is quite easy, let alone the juvenile group, which is like playing house.
Buddhist cultivation is different from Taoist cultivation. Buddhist cultivation does not pay attention to fighting and killing, but pays attention to cultivating the mind and cultivating the Buddha. Even if there is a link of physical strength competition later, it will not cause the tragic situation of Taoist cultivation.
Wuyi only saw that Yuankong climbed up very smoothly as if he had opened up Ren Du's second channel, and couldn't help frowning more and more.Many seniors who were at the same time as Yuankong were registered one by one. The competition lasted from early morning to dusk. Nine out of ten people in the junior group had gone, but Yuankong was still climbing on it with difficulty.What's even more surprising is that the shabby little monk Shanjing landed not far below Yuankong.
Several hours later, the sky was already dark, the stars in the tower were twinkling, and the lotus platforms everywhere emitted golden light.
Yuankong is almost unable to hold on anymore, he is still young after all, it has taken a lot of effort to concentrate his mind for a long time not to let himself be confused, let alone continue to pass the next level.They have already climbed very high, looking down at the bottom, the further they go to the back, the greater the panic of falling, and the greater the difficulty of each lotus platform.They saw that many Buddha cultivators could no longer hold on and fell from the lotus platform.Falling from such a high place, I don't know if I fell to the ground and fell to pieces.
Yuan Kong's eyes were straight, his lips were white, staring at his feet and the edge of the lotus platform, motionless.Beneath him, Shanjing sat down on the lotus platform with a pale face.He came up all by chasing Yuankong, if Yuankong just fell in front of him, he might collapse immediately.
Wuyi looked at his little disciple worriedly.Yuankong has reached a level beyond his imagination, but what now?It's fine if he can keep his heart and stay there honestly, but if he can't control it...
Wuyi's eyes widened suddenly, only to see Yuankong took a step outward, just like all the fallen Buddha cultivators before, his eyes were stiff and his face was pale——
Shanjing widened her eyes in horror and stared at Yuankong, only to see Yuankong's body leaning forward, and then fell forward as if being controlled...
"Yuankong!!—" Shanjing quickly stood up and stretched out her hands to try to catch him, and Wuyi in the distance also took a sharp step forward.Sihuo raised his eyes to look at Fang Liantai, and at the moment when Yuankong was about to fall, the Buddhist beads on his chest suddenly flashed a golden light, Yuankong woke up abruptly on the bald head, turned his head quickly, and saw the falling body Twisting hard, one hand grabbed the edge of the lotus platform at that moment!
"Zhuzhu!" Yuan Kong yelled in horror, with cold sweat all over his head and body.Jia Ke was suppressed by the surrounding Buddhist aura and did not dare to expose it, but he couldn't bear to let Yuankong fall like this. He hesitated for a moment, and finally transformed into a phantom in the shape of a person.
In a trance, Yuankong only saw a golden Buddha statue pulling him up from the abyss below the lotus platform. When he reached the lotus platform, the phantom shattered and disappeared.
Shanjing only saw Yuankong climbed onto the lotus platform with his hands and feet, and the sweat all over his body cooled down when he was safe. He couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and slumped on the lotus platform with his hands and feet feeling weak.And Wuyi in the distance also wiped his sweat vainly.He couldn't see the scene above the lotus platform from below, but he was relieved to see that Yuankong was safe.
Only the man was puzzled in the mid-air, narrowed his eyes, and stared at the golden light above the lotus platform.
Jia Ke kept observing the movements around him in the prayer beads, but seeing that no one noticed him, he put down the stone in his heart.He scolded Yuankong: "I called you dozens of times just now, but you didn't listen to it once, and you almost fell down. Do you want your life!"
Yuan Kong wiped off his sweat, but his heart was still beating wildly.
"It's a minor injury, if you will leave a demon in the future, it's better not to climb this stage!" Jia Ke babbled for hundreds of words, and then saw Yuankong gradually calm down, and nodded in a muffled voice again and again.
The level in front of him is already a fantasy level, and Jia Ke can't see what Yuan Kong sees, but here, even if the child's mind is simple and not as complex as that of an adult, it is even more difficult to solve the puzzle.If there is no Jia Ke, Yuan Kong may not be able to go up as early as a dozen lotus platforms.
"Now it's safest to stay on the lotus platform, don't go up." Jia Ke said.
Yuan Kong nodded sullenly, not knowing what he saw.
As time passed by, many people fell down again, and a few people remained on the lotus platform, which became rarer as they went up.
With Jia Ke staring at him, Yuan Kong was able to stay awake even though he was always bewildered by illusions. Shan Jing stopped there, but Jia Ke was very surprised at him. Without his support, Shan Jing could go this far It's not easy.
Finally, when the sky was twilight, the presiding Buddhist monk appeared.Everyone's rankings were reorganized again, and Yuan Kong happened to be in the top ten of the youth group.There was a Buddha who fell unconscious the moment he saw the name.
Yuankong also breathed a sigh of relief, and saw that all the golden lotus seats with people on them gradually sank, the illusion and the pressure on the physical body weakened layer by layer, peeling off from them as if peeling off cocoons, and when they reached the ground, they were refreshed Cool, all the suppressed cultivation has bounced back up a level!
Yuankong's sanity returned to clarity, and when he raised his head, he ran towards Wuyi like a child, shouted "Master", and threw himself into his arms aggrieved.Jia Ke cursed in his heart: "Little heartless, who saved him..."
Wuyi obviously didn't expect that Yuankong would actually be able to go up to the ranking banned by the Nine Regions. When the brothers around him congratulated him, Yuankong looked at his name as if in a dream, and said in a low voice: "Senior Zhuzhu, you are great."
Jia Ke snorted and said, "Of course I'm good."
After finishing speaking, Jia Ke shivered, noticing the gaze cast by Si Zhuo, and dared not let go of his spiritual sense.
