Chapter 284: Buddha Shakyamuni's Body
The sky in the snow area is blue, clear and crystal!
Occasionally there are white clouds, as soft as cotton candy.
The air here is fresh, without much of the filth found in the mundane world, making one’s mind clear and it is a pure land that cleanses the soul.
Yuangungun and Xiaosong, like two funny creatures, were happily chasing each other on the snow.
During this process, the bloated Yuanyuan would often sink into the snow and bury itself, leaving only its two fleshy, furry feet kicking towards the sky outside the snow, making Xiaosong point at Yuanyuan and laugh heartily.
It seems to be saying: "Round, why are you so stupid?"
After laughing, Xiaosong would grab its chubby feet or its woolen tail and pull it out of the snow with great effort.
At this time, Yuan Yuan usually looks silly.
Then, it would vent its anger on the snow that had buried it, and would hum and groan proudly, showing off its majesty as a handsome panda.
In this way, Lu Zhou and his party walked in this sparsely populated snowy area.
In his hand, he held Xiaosong's small stone Buddha. Just as described in the original book, he used the divine power in his body to bless the stone Buddha while reciting some incomplete secret words told to him by several Indian masters!
After a while, an Indian master who was about 180 years old suddenly pointed to the distant sky and exclaimed.
"Look, there seem to be some mountains suddenly appearing in the sky ahead."
"Could that be the sacred mountain where my Buddha practiced?"
As those towering mountains appeared, an ancient road leading directly to those misty mountains also came into the eyes of everyone in Lu Zhou's group.
It can be clearly seen that the ancient road is in a discontinuous state.
This is because their secret language is incomplete.
Lu Zhou led them and set foot on the ancient road.
Their figures disappeared from the outside world and entered another world.
They walked along the ancient road, and before long, they saw the body of an old monk who had been in meditation for at least hundreds of years.
They all saw a line of last words written in ancient Sanskrit on the rock in front of the corpse.
Lu Zhou could understand the ancient Sanskrit without the help of Ximoti or the original text for translation.
He had spent several months visiting major libraries in Middle-earth, the ancient Shaolin Temple, and even the private studies of some experts and professors in Middle-earth.
During this period, he not only studied the ancient characters of China, but also studied ancient Sanskrit, ancient Egyptian and other knowledge.
With his current abilities, it is too easy for him to learn these.
They did not stay here for too long and continued on their way.
Everything that happened next was basically the same as what happened in the original novel when Ye Fan, Ximoti and others first entered this temple.
Along the intermittent ancient road, they passed by some temples, saw many corpses of old monks, and were attacked and killed by an old monk whose corpse was controlled by evil thoughts.
Lu Zhou just stretched out a finger and suppressed the old monk.
In the end, it was still Shimoti and others who chanted scriptures to convert him and dispel the old monk's resentment.
Afterwards, whether in the Chaos Demon Abyss or the Sea of Bitterness.
Even though Lu Zhou did not have the bronze lamp that Lingbao Tianzun had offered sacrifices to,
However, Lu Zhou relied on his powerful fighting ability, as well as some secret techniques such as the Sutra of Saving People, or holy weapons, to force his way through and successfully reach the foot of Lingshan Mountain.
Here, they saw the Buddha body sculpted for Sakyamuni by his ten great disciples.
Ximoti and the others all looked pious, bowing their heads in awe as they walked towards him. Lu Zhou strode forward and waited for Sakyamuni to finish saying, "You are late."
Lu Zhou said to him.
"Now, many Buddhist traditions on this planet have been cut off, and Buddhism is in a state of decline. The masters beside me who have not even been able to enter the Taoist temple are the most virtuous monks on this planet today."
"Buddhism is in urgent need of inheritance and we want to go to Lingshan Mountain to seek the true scriptures."
"I've heard that Buddhism talks about fate and cause and effect. Now that we're here holding a stone Buddha, it means we have fate."
"As for cause and effect, we sow seeds today and bear fruits in the future. If we meet in the starry sky, it must be a blessing. Please give us a favor. We wish to ascend the sacred mountain."
Through the conversation between Ye Fan and the Buddha body of Sakyamuni in the original work, Lu Zhou can see that this Buddha body of Sakyamuni should have a certain consciousness.
Lu Zhou wanted to try and see if he could communicate with him.
This time when he came to Lingshan, since he didn't have the complete secret code, Lu Zhou came with the mentality of giving it a try.
Finally, it would be best if he could climb to the top of Lingshan Mountain to sign in and obtain some Buddhist scriptures left on Lingshan Mountain, as well as the elixir made by Sakyamuni himself.
If not, he can only sign in at the foot of Lingshan Mountain.
He didn't think about using the real dragon ball to clear the way and force his way up to Lingshan.
The water on Earth is so deep that most of the quasi-emperors, including Huangdi Xuanyuan, Yandi Shennong, etc., are on Earth at this moment.
Lu Zhou was not prepared to contact these big guys right now.
If the real dragon ball is revived, it will definitely alarm them.
Of course, what is more likely is that those quasi-emperor bosses have actually been paying attention to him for a long time.
The power of the quasi-emperor is difficult to measure.
Lu Zhou wanted to try his best to see if he could talk to the Buddha body of Sakyamuni. If he could help him, that would be the best.
If not, then wait until later.
In the end, it is not known whether it was Lu Zhou’s words about cause and effect that played a role, or the decline of Buddhism that played a role.
In short, after Lu Zhou finished speaking, Sakyamuni Buddha did not say as in the original book that the sacred mountain was dry and difficult to appear in the mortal world, and that although there were holy objects, there were no secret words and no way to open the way.
There was no hint of "the road to the sacred mountain has come to an end, it's time to turn back".
Lu Zhou saw two golden lights shooting out from the eyes of Sakyamuni Buddha, shining on everyone in Lu Zhou's group.
He let out a light 'eh'!
He only saw through the Indian masters who were worshipping him devoutly, and felt the pure Buddha's power and the heart of devotion to Buddha in them.
He couldn't see through Lu Zhou. In a trance, he also felt the extraordinaryness of Xiaosong and Yuanyuan.
Afterwards, the Buddha body of Sakyamuni did not say anything more.
What Lu Zhou and others saw, whether it was the fallen flowers, the ancient Bodhi tree, or the body of Sakyamuni Buddha, all had turned into stone.
All the fluctuations of life disappeared.
At the same time, there was a long and distant sound of a Buddhist bell coming from the top of Lingshan Mountain, which could cleanse everyone's mind and was deafening.
A golden avenue leading directly to the top of Lingshan Mountain appeared at the feet of Lu Zhou and his party.
