Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 84: The Way of Time
Close the page, Tang Zixi sighed softly.
Putting the Secret History of Ten Thousand Buddhas back on the bookshelf, Tang Zixi couldn't hide the disappointment in her heart.
The Great Buddha Kingdom of Western Heaven has many Buddhist scriptures but few history books. There are not many books recording history. Among these limited history books, there are still some that record history incidentally for the purpose of preaching and preaching.
It is not easy to sort out the deeds about the Nine Difficulties from this book. Often, you can only find one or two sentences about the Nine Difficulties after reading the entire book. Sometimes not even a sentence or two.
The Great Buddha Kingdom of the West has no problem of covering up wrongdoings and does not distort the facts. However, avoiding the important and ignoring the historical facts and only focusing on the Buddhist words still brings great trouble to Tang Zixi’s investigation.
After reading nearly a thousand and a half unhistorical history books, Tang Zixi is basically familiar with the history of the Great Buddha Kingdom of the West, but unfortunately her understanding of the Nine Difficulties is still limited.
This is still the case today. She has read all the books on the bookshelf, but the information she can find is really limited.
After all, it is thousands of years apart in history, so it is not easy to stay.
Putting down the book, Tang Zixi stepped out of the monastery.
I had nothing to do, so I just strolled around the Qianbei Temple. I have been here for many days, but I have never really seen this ancient temple.
After leaving the monastery and walking forward along the stone road, there is the Vinaya Hall, and further ahead is the sutra room, where monks lecture on sutras and Zen. As Tang Zixi walked along, there were monks on the road. They all saluted Tang Zixi and said hello to Miss Tang. Tang Zixi was also familiar with these monks, and they all smiled and nodded in greeting.
Tang Zixi came to the sutra room and saw a young novice monk sitting in the sutra room, shaking his head and chanting something, but it was the young monk Jingxin who received her that day.
The young monk was not on duty, and was reciting sutras in the sutra room at the moment. Seeing that he was reciting plausibly, Tang Zixi noticed that the young monk was simply absent-minded, looking out secretly while reciting sutras. Perhaps in his eyes, sweeping the floor is much more interesting than chanting sutras.
Seeing Tang Zixi coming over, the little monk's eyes lit up and he no longer had the intention to chant sutras. He just winked at Tang Zixi.
Tang Zixi saw that he looked interesting, so she came over and said with a smile: "Little monk, if you don't recite sutras and worship the Buddha properly, but you are distracted here, aren't you afraid that the Buddha will blame you?"
Jingxin then smiled and said: "Buddha is so compassionate, how can you argue with me? Sister, why are you out today?"
Tang Zixi replied ~IndoMTL.com~ I have read too much, come out and take a breather. ”
Jingxin then smiled: "I'm afraid you can't find any valuable clues about the Nine Difficulties, so you'll be disappointed, right?"
Tang Zixi hummed: "How did you know I couldn't find it? Is it possible that you have some secrets in the temple that you are hiding from others, and you deliberately hid all the news about the Nine Difficulties?"
Jing’s heart beat loudly: “Don’t accuse people casually. How could we, Qianbei Temple, do such a thing? It’s just that the people who came here in the past always returned without success. We’ve seen a lot, so we naturally know. What happened back then is always a secret. Even those who experienced it personally can't explain it. What's more, we, the descendants, don't have careful records in the classics. No matter how you look it up, you won't find anything."
After hearing this, Tang Zixi thought that what he said was reasonable, and sighed: "You are right, I was reckless."
Jingxin smiled happily: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I don't care about the female prostitute."
This little monk is not very capable, but his tone is quite serious.
Tang Zixi didn't pay attention to him. While talking, she had already entered the sutra room. She saw that the sutra room was simple and solemn, solemn and solemn, with a distant atmosphere.
Tang Zixi said casually: "This sutra room looks very old."
"That's natural." Jingxin replied: "This sutra room has a history of more than 10,000 years. Qianbei Temple has experienced three fires, the aftermath of two powerful battles, and been destroyed several times. , and it was rebuilt afterwards. Only this ancient sutra room has always existed and has never been destroyed."
"Oh?" Tang Zixi was slightly surprised: "Why is this?"
Jing Xin hesitated.
He looked around to make sure no one was there, then waved to Tang Zixi, telling her to come over.
Tang Zixi frowned slightly, and the palm of her hand lit up, emitting a little light and spreading quietly. Tang Zixi said: "Now you can speak as you like. Under my silence curse, no sound will be transmitted. Get out."
Seeing that Yiqin Fangze's trick failed, Jingxin sighed in his heart and could only say: "It's nothing. Some people say that this is the place where the Nine Difficulties enlightened the Tao, so it was blessed by the Nine Difficulties."
"The most difficult place to realize the Tao?" Tang Zixi's eyes suddenly brightened: "What is the way to realize?"
"The devil's way!" Jingxin replied: "There is a powerful person who said that it was in this sutra room that the Nine Difficulties attained enlightenment and became a devil."
"The devil's way? The devil is also the way?" Tang Zixi was surprised.
Jing Xin was surprised: "Why can't the devil be the Tao? There are twelve great roads in the world and tens of thousands of small ways. Every existence has its own reason, and if there is a reason, then there is a way. In the Hongmeng Demon Realm, such a huge existence, naturally There must be a way."
Tang Zixi paused.
This was the first time she had heard of this statement.
After thinking for a while, she asked: "Why haven't I seen this statement in history books?"
Jingxin hesitated for a while before replying: "This is the legend of our Great Buddha Kingdom in the West. There is no solid evidence and it will not be recorded in history books."
"This legend believes that the Nine Difficulties did not become demons at that time, but entered Taoism?"
"Yes!" Jingxin nodded seriously.
Tang Zixi sneered: "Then what's the difference between becoming a demon and becoming a demon?"
Jingxin scratched his scalp and said, "How could I know such a thing? Don't ask me."
Tang Zixi couldn't find out why when she asked him, so she could only give up.
Just looking at the sutra room again, a monk could not help but appear in front of me holding sutras and reciting sutras.
Is this where the Nine Difficulties chanted Buddhist sutras until they became demons?
And this sutra room has remained standing despite the wind and rain in the following ten thousand years?
Tang Zixi's eyes gradually glowed.
She took out a Buddhist scripture from the Buddhist hall and found a seat to sit down.
Jingxin was surprised: "What are you doing?"
"I want to study the Buddhist scriptures to see if I have any chance with the Buddha."
Jingxin knew that she was speaking nonsense and understood her meaning. She shook her head and said, "It's useless for you to do this. It was God's will that the Nine Difficulties Demonic Monk fell into the devil's path. It is not something that mortals like us can find out. ”
Tang Zixi replied: "I am not a mortal, I am an immortal cultivator."
Jingxin said seriously: "Under the way of heaven, we are all mortals."
Tang Zixi just pretended not to have heard of it.
In the following days, Tang Zixi moved the place where she read, and moved directly from the monastery to the sutra room.
This sutra room is not the place where Tang Zixi stayed before. Instead, there are many monks coming and going to chant sutras. Whenever he goes in and out, he sees a girl reading sutras here. She is a good-looking girl, so it is inevitable that she will be distracted and get distracted. The monks in the temple had no intention of worshiping the Buddha. While chanting the Buddha's name every day, they were thinking of a pretty girl, and their eyes would glance at that beauty from time to time.
There were eminent monks in the temple who knew that this was inappropriate and deliberately advised Tang Zixi to find another place and leave.
But after Tang Zixi knew that this place was related to the Nine Dilemmas, how could she still be willing to leave.
Although Qianbei Temple is an ancient temple that has existed for thousands of years, it does not rely on martial arts. The important thing is that martial arts cannot help Tang Zixi - Tang Zixi is already at the peak of his out-of-body experience, and he has a family background and is gifted with the way of time, even if he is an average person. Even if the immortal comes, he may not be able to do anything to get her.
For such a powerful person, all he needs is to use the sutra room to read sutras and "worship the Buddha wholeheartedly." In a world where strength determines status, it really cannot be considered too much to ask.
So the eminent monks of Qianbei Temple should hold their noses and endure it. If I can’t drive you away, Tang Zixi, why don’t I drive away my own disciples?
It didn't take long for this sutra room to be reserved exclusively for Tang Zixi.
Other monks did not dare to come, but the little novice monk Jingxin still came over to see her and talk to Tang Zixi.
Tang Zixi didn't care, but took the opportunity to learn more about the Buddhist country.
In this way, two months passed in the blink of an eye. Tang Zixi read a lot of Buddhist scriptures, but unfortunately she still couldn't find any clues related to the Nine Difficulties, and she felt very disappointed.
She was thinking about the war that took place in the giant spirit world, and she didn't know what the current situation was there. She wanted to go back like this, but she was unwilling to fail to bring any valuable news to her father.
As I was wandering around today, I saw Jingxin coming over in a sneaky way, waving to Tang Zixi as he came.
Tang Zixi saw his mysterious whereabouts and knew what he meant, so she cast a silence spell and asked: "What are you doing?"
Jingxin took out an old and yellowed booklet from his cassock and said, "Here you go."
"This is..." Tang Zixi took it and saw it was a book called "Buddha's Questions".
Buddha's Questions is a classic circulated by Buddhism. It tells the story of Buddha's questions and answers with his disciples.
Monks study Buddhism, pay homage to the Buddha, respect the Buddha, and regard the principles of Buddhism as the ultimate principle. Therefore, they become Buddhists, establish themselves as Buddhas, learn the words of the Buddha, and practice the Dharma. Buddha's questions are Buddha's words, which are said to contain countless principles, so monks study them tirelessly.
Fo Wen Tang Zixi had also read it. At this moment, Jingxin gave him this book, but he didn't know what it meant.
Jing Xin has secretly said: "This is the book that Jiu Nan has read."
"The one that Jiu Nan has read?" Tang Zixi's heart moved, but she didn't expect Qianbei Temple to still retain this scripture.
After taking the scripture, Tang Zixi saw that the scripture was indeed very old. In order to preserve it, a layer of oil sealing technique was even applied to the scripture, which was equivalent to applying an oil film on the paper to prevent it from being corroded by time.
At this moment, Tang Zixi got the book and looked through it one by one.
The content in the book is no different from other Buddhist questions. The yellowed handwriting is written with the questions and answers of the Buddha and his disciples. If you feel it carefully, you will find that they are full of wisdom in life and are worthy of the powerful words.
It's a pity that no matter how you look at it, this is still just a Buddhist scripture. No matter how much wisdom it contains, it can't satisfy Tang Zixi's needs.
When he turned to the end, Tang Zixi wanted to tear open the book and see if there were any secrets in the pages like the stories his father once told him. Perhaps because of something on his mind, Tang Zixi used a little more force and actually tore a page with a brush.
"Oops!" Jing Xin shouted: "I stole this from the hosting room, why did you break it..."
The tone was anxious, but he was almost crying.
Tang Zixi also felt embarrassed and hurriedly comforted him: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, I will repair it for you right now."
"How to repair it? A spell has been cast on it ~IndoMTL.com~ and it is affected by it, so the Return to Origin method can no longer be used on it."
"It's okay." Tang Zixi smiled and waved her hand, and a ray of light shone on the Buddhist book, and the page that had just fallen returned to the book.
"This is..." Jingxin opened her mouth in shock.
"The Way of Time." Tang Zixi replied with a smile.
The Tao of Time thought that Shi Wunian once used reappeared in Tang Zixi's hands at this moment, but the target of the effect was the object with the magic applied to it. It was countless times more clever than Shi Wunian. Only the time to truly enter the Tao Only humans can fully restore the effects of the spell without affecting it at all.
That's a true backwards movement of time.
At the moment when the Buddhist scriptures were restored, the Buddhist scriptures emitted a faint light.
Tang Zixi's eyes blurred as she saw another scene before her.
