Infernal Hero Chapter 564: Sea of ​​Bitter

In front of the mountain border stands a stone tablet with many Chinese characters inscribed. The strokes seem to be chiseled by a knife and axe, but the rounded part of the gesture seems to be written with fingers. The strokes are different in style and strength. Obviously, it is not written by one person. Careful identification and disassembly found that it was written by two people.

Gu Tianyou and his party stopped here. The liaison officer said that this is the entrance to the secret realm of the Buddha Domain, and there is a lake called the Sea of ​​Bitterness. I don't know how many years this stele has existed. Originally written in Sanskrit, the sea of ​​bitterness is boundless and turning back to the shore. Somehow more than ten years ago, the original handwriting was chiseled out and replaced by the current handwriting. The local people know the inside story and see this. The stone tablet will not go any further.

Gu Tianyou came to the stele, the blue-gray stone body flashed with dim azure light, this kind of stone with metallic texture is called limestone in geology, because the texture is too hard, it is difficult to knife and axe Injury, loss of flexibility, strong engraving and fragile, not suitable for making stone tablets to record inscriptions. But the stele in front of him is as flat as a mirror, with clear handwriting without a trace of dissonance. If it is really chiseled by an axe, it is really a skill of heavenly craftsmanship.

After looking at it for a long time, he shook his head and said, "The original handwriting on this was not chiseled by an axe, but was erased by someone's hand. These new handwriting were not carved by a knife, but by an expert with their fingers. Written on the above, the content recorded on it is the two people's respective understandings of Buddhism and Zen.

"Written with a finger?" The liaison officer looked at the handwriting that was an inch deep into the stone tablet, and said in disbelief: "How is this possible?"

Gu Tianyou ignored his doubts and devoted himself to the observation of the writing on the stone tablet.

The first person wrote: The green and green bamboo is nothing but prajna, and the lush yellow flowers are all wonderful. The words are vaguely deviating from the scriptures, jumping out of the Buddhist scriptures and using things to speak the way. This line of characters has deep brushwork, silver hooks and iron paintings, and the stern and extraordinary momentum seems to have the meaning of breaking out of the monument, blowing towards the face, making people unconsciously tremble.

The second person replied next to the sentence: The moonlight in the ancient temple is not necessary for the mountains and rivers, but the fire in the heart is also cool. The handwriting is very rounded, the depth is consistent, and the gaps are all calm. The content, however, exhorts the first person not to be attached to external objects, mountains and rivers, and to devote himself to asking the Buddha and cultivating the heart is the right way.

The first person wrote again: Keep your mind pure and keep your will, you can reach the Tao. For example, when grinding a mirror, the dirt is removed and it remains. Let go of desires and desires, be destiny. The strokes are deeper than before, and the turning point is even sharper, especially the last word of life, dragging the pen like a blade, as if a thousand swords are about to hit the face, making people terrified.

The second person replied: Sow such a cause, reap such a fruit, everything is created only by the mind. Perseverance is like an abyss, persistence is like tears, everything is impermanent, and there is life and there is death.

The first person wrote: The mind of a Zen person is Zen, Zen is also in the heart, sitting is Zen, standing is Zen, walking is Zen, sleeping is Zen, is it possible to be Zen all the time and everywhere. If the heart does not move, the person does not move rashly, and if it does not move, it will not hurt; if the heart does not move, the person moves rashly, hurting his body and hurting his bones, so he experiences all kinds of pain in the world!

The second person then replied: I have no thoughts about the law. Line without line. Speechless. Repair without repair. The attendees are near you. Fans are far away. Word break. Imprisoned by nothing. By a millimeter. Lost for a moment.

The two of them come and go, and what they say is the truth of Zen Buddhism. It's just that the handwriting later, the second person's strength is exhausted, the handwriting is getting lighter and lighter, and the color is getting darker and darker at the back, it seems to refer to the traces left by the blood and the stone. In contrast, the first person wrote more, but the handwriting became deeper and deeper, and there was no slight flaw in the turning point. Obviously, it is better than one in terms of physical training.

Gu Tianyou turned to look at Sun Jingfei beside him, and asked, "Does this handwriting look familiar?"

Sun Jingfei didn't speak, but Qin Xiaoxiao behind him said, "My father left the first handwriting."

Huang Yong walked to the stone tablet, watched intently, took a long breath, and said, "I can't believe that Senior Qin Dangkong is also a member of my Taoism. It turns out that the divine Tao of the heart can be practiced to this level. Even if it is written with a knife, it is probably inferior to the second master, and compared with Senior Qin, it is even worse." He sighed deeply.

Di Haoran also came over, stretched out a finger, and poked it vigorously, baring his teeth in pain, but only left a half-inch hole on the stone tablet. Squeaky wrote a stroke, it was terrible. He couldn't help but wonder: "Isn't the person who wrote this already in the realm of immortals?"

Gu Tianyou nodded and said, "If there really exist gods in this world, it's probably nothing more than that. Such a stone tablet is easy to blow up with one punch. These near-perfect handwriting require not only powerful force, but also extremely precise control over the force, so it may seem easy to write these words, but it is actually a huge test for the cultivation of Taoist soul power.”

"Let's take a good look at it, it will help us in our own practice."

Ye Xuhui and Lichen both came to the front, carefully observed and realized, and they also tried to leave handwriting on the stone tablet, but in vain.

Sun Jingfei said: "I'll try it with the power of diamond." As he spoke, he stared at the stone tablet, slowly stretched out his right hand, his index finger seemed to be lightly touched on the stone tablet, and suddenly the powder fell, leaving a clear and profound image. Fingerprints come. Then he wrote: Don't say it, don't say it, it's wrong to say it. The last typo was missing, but the Japanese word below was omitted. A sullen look flashed across his face, apparently exhausted and unsustainable.

The boss of the liaison officer opened his mouth and looked at Sun Jingfei, who seemed to be the weakest, with his surprised eyes like a ghost: "You, you, are you a living fairy? This is really written by hand." He leaned over and touched it with his hand.

Gu Tianyou ignored his surprise, turned around to look at Yelu Mingyue, and said, "Why don't Mingyue come and try?"

Yelü Mingyue nodded and walked to the front, staring at the stone tablet, chanting words in her mouth, probing her hands like an ape, but the iron monkey in Muay Thai is pulling his teeth.

The stone chips splashed, and the line of words gradually became clear. The depth was naturally different from that of Qin Dangkong, but it had reached the level of the second person's last line. What he wrote is: Knowing yourself, subduing yourself, and changing yourself, can you change others. When writing the last stroke, Gu Tianyou clearly heard a crisp cracking sound from the fascia joint of his index finger. This kid is indeed a cruel man.

Yelu Mingyue took a stance, let out a long breath and said: "Uncle Qin's cultivation has reached the top of heaven and man, even if the second person is at least not inferior to my master Ye Zangsong, I sigh that it is not as good as the dust. , I don't know what the level of Gu's personal shot is?"

Gu Tianyou smiled indifferently: "I've been even more embarrassing these two times." After speaking, he reached out to the line left by Sun Jingfei, and filled in the last Japanese character.

Only one word was written, and the depth was the same as that of Sun Jingfei. It seemed that there was no difficulty or peculiarity. The line is so perfect that even the most discerning connoisseur would be hard-pressed to spot any inconsistencies. Even the liaison officer who was shocked one after another could see that Gu Tianyou, who led the team, did not perform well.

Gu Tianyou clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Jing Fei uses mind power to write this line of characters, and he needs to borrow Geng Jin Yuan Qi to melt the stone before starting, so the depth of the brush strokes between the lines is almost exactly the same, and the transitions are carried over in the slightest. I don't see the knife and the axe, and this is even better than Senior Qin Dangkong. I, a rude person who dances with guns and sticks, wants to imitate the traces left by him, and I can't help but laugh at it."

Brother Ku and Xiao Beigui behind Yelu Mingyue are not experts in this field, so I can't see why. Luo Yi's ability is not in martial arts cultivation. The two girls have limited vision, and they can't see why. Among the crowd, only Huang Yong, Sun Jingfei and Yelu Mingyue saw the rich content contained in this small word.

Especially Yelu Mingyue, who immediately showed admiration, and said sincerely: "Big Brother Gu seems to be a simple word, but he has cultivated the spirit of Dao with the strength of his soul, and simulated the Dao of Brother Jingfei with manpower. The power of reading Yuan Qi, such a way of playing, is not an exaggeration to call it a different world."

Gu Tianyou laughed: "It's a rare opportunity to learn from each other, brothers and sisters. Today is just a small interaction with each other to enhance a little understanding. You don't have to say it so grandly, and you don't have to put yourself so low. I'm very optimistic about you."

The liaison officer came over and said, "Oh, don't care who is more powerful, anyway, in my eyes, they are all gods, but even if you are all as powerful as those perverts in the nineteenth round, this Buddhist secret realm is not a casual one. If you can break through, it is difficult to get in and out. What’s more, you have to rescue someone from the inside. Further ahead is the sea of ​​suffering. There is an island in the middle of the lake, and there is a cave on it, which is the entrance to the secret path of the Buddha Domain. The wooden boat does not cross the bitter sea, and the goose feathers do not float. According to legend, the water is the Dragon Palace with Tonghai Eyes, and there are monsters guarding it.

Gu Tianyou said: "This way, there are primitive old forests everywhere, the mountains are high, the roads are dangerous, and the wild beasts are rampant. It is all thanks to you, an old horse who knows the way, to get here. Are you excited?"

The liaison officer said with a look of embarrassment: "I didn't expect your group to be so powerful before. If you change to an ordinary expedition team, just those giant python leeches are enough to drink a pot. You have to drive at night, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I was scared to cold at the time, but this Mr. Huang was so good, he used a little drug to easily kill the rat in a country, but let me go to the bottom of the well The toad opened his eyes."

He clasped his fists and continued: "To be honest with you, I did lead a few expeditions before, but only one went deep here. There is an insider to answer, choose the time when the monsters in the bitter sea are inactive at noon, and use the bamboo raft to land on the island. After entering the secret path of the labyrinth, I found that there are many vertical and horizontal inside, and the number of ravines and channels are completely indistinguishable. Let the insider lead us to seven turns inside. Eight rounds, it took a long time to pass."

"What happened later?" Gu Tianyou asked.

A look of surprise flashed in the liaison officer's eyes, and he sighed: "The whole army was wiped out later. The insider once told us that there are five levels on the way to the secret realm of the Buddha Domain. The second pass is called the Hundred Ghosts Dragon Pool, the third pass is the Mirror Magic Palace, the fourth pass is the Gion Temple, and the fifth pass is the Paradise of Bliss. After passing these five passes, we can enter the Buddhist realm known as the Little Thousand World, and we are in the Hundred Ghosts Dragon Pool. During the retreat, someone accidentally alerted the dragon beast, and during the retreat, we encountered a ghost in the labyrinth, and in the end, only I and the leader of the operation, Long Lance, escaped together."

"Long Spear has also been here?" Gu Tianyou was slightly surprised and said, "So, that operation was organized by the Nineteenth Bureau?"

The liaison officer nodded and said, "Exactly." He added, "It's not that I'm greedy for life and fear of death, it's just that this place is too dangerous, and there is no insider cooperation, so blindly going in is no different from sending death, I received The order does not include sending you deep inside, so I will not send you in, please understand that.”

"Okay." Gu Tianyou smiled slightly: "Let's say goodbye here."

This liaison officer is not young anymore. People of this age are often young and old, and they have many responsibilities. Gu Tianyou can understand his thoughts.

Everyone decided to say goodbye to the liaison officer to continue in depth, but the elephant suddenly refused to move forward, so they had to leave the elephant outside the mountain pass.

Gu Tianyou took the lead over the stone tablet and walked into the entrance of the secret way to the Buddha's realm. Everyone moved forward cautiously, and after walking for about half an hour, a fog barrier appeared in front of them, exuding a mixed smell of rotting flowers. There was a faint sound of waves crashing on the shore, and it seemed that this was a sea of ​​suffering.

The miasma contained hallucinogenic chemicals, and everyone was prepared for it. Gu Tianyou motioned for everyone to prepare Huoxiang perfume. Although this thing is ordinary, it is the nemesis of miasma. Everyone walked into the fog barrier without hesitation. In the thick fog, the water vapor is thick, and the further forward, the more gloomy and inexplicable it is.

Visibility was extremely low in the fog. Gu Tianyou and Yelu Mingyue walked at the forefront. With their martial arts training and keen perception, they could only walk cautiously. At this time, the sound of the water in front became clearer and clearer, and it seemed to be close at hand.

Gu Tianyou turned around and ordered Lichen to take out the leather raft from the rucksack. Among the crowd, Lichen and Brother Ku were mainly responsible for carrying the weight. Both of them were carrying huge rucksacks. Brother Ku was responsible for the provisions, while Lichen was mainly responsible for the relatively heavy equipment. The raft was taken out. When inflating, Ye Xuhui found that the electric air pump was not working. Then everyone was surprised to find that all the electronic equipment on the body had failed, the mobile phone was automatically turned off, and even the watch stopped.

It's not a big problem without a power pump. Lichen volunteered to serve as a human flesh inflator. This guy claims to be able to blow out the inner tube's lung capacity. When he was competing with the leather raft over there, everyone else was waiting. Gu Tianyou and Sun Jingfei were not idle, they walked for more than ten meters, and suddenly a small wind blew in front of them, and the fog in front dissipated. Many, a large lake with vast smoke and waves suddenly flashed out.

A light wind blew his face and sent a strange and low voice. Sun Jingfei followed his reputation and looked horrified: "Look over there, what's in the water?"
