Chapter 880 Three thousand years of meditation
The underworld, the Buddha's plateau.
The dark world, with dim light and shadows, and countless ghosts surrounded a small temple.
There is a Buddha statue in the temple, with three lamps lit in front of the Buddha, which looks no different from other temples.
But in front of the Buddha statue, there was a person sitting cross-legged. The man was thin and solemn in treasure. His body shone bright silver light from the inside to the outside, emitting charming brilliance like the moon at night.
The countless ghosts outside looked into the temple, and ghosts were whispering in a low voice.
"This great monk is very powerful! He has been sitting in meditation for three thousand years!"
"Three thousand years ago, he preached for 9980 days in one breath, and then overeated for half a month, and didn't know how much he ate. Then he began to sit there quietly, motionless, without eating or drinking, and sat until now!"
"Ah? Has he become a Buddha? Otherwise, how could he sit quietly for three thousand years in one breath? How could I believe you said this?"
"If you don't believe it, you will fall down! I watched him enter into meditation with my own eyes. At that time, there was not a trace of white light on his body. Now the white light is getting stronger and stronger, and you can see it across hundreds of miles!"
A ghost next to him echoed, "Yes, I came here two thousand and seven hundred years ago. Since then, I have never seen him get up! Such hard work is extraordinary, and it is a Taoist monk!"
"Does anyone know what the monk's name is?"
"The monk's surname is Qin and his name is Qin Ku. He is a disciple of the old monk Xuyun. A Jiazi ago, Xuyun came to see him."
"Wow, no wonder there is such a profound Taoist practice! Old Monk Xuyun? He is already an eighth-level Bodhisattva and may be about to become a Buddha! The disciples he taught are naturally extraordinary..."
These ghosts whispered and moved forward quietly.
"It would be nice to get closer! The silver light emitted by Master Qin Ku shines on our ghosts, which has unexpected benefits! Many of the ghosts who were standing in front have eliminated their sins, walked out of the underworld, and were reincarnated! Because I was so far away, I was almost at the last, so I was still a little short of fire."
"This is not an ordinary silver light. There is a saying about this kind of light. I once heard the old monk Xuyun sigh: "Qin Ku practiced so quickly. He actually reached the point where the Buddha light shines everywhere. He just waited for the Buddha fire to break through the gate, and then he could advance to the Bodhisattva!"
"You look at the Buddha's light, and it's almost impossible to earn your eyes. It's probably not long before Master Qin Ku will be able to achieve the merits of his merits."
The closer these people are getting closer, and they are about to approach the temple gate. At this time, a ghost immortal suddenly appears, waves his hand at the ghosts, and whispers: "Get back! Don't disturb my master!"
Then another ghost immortal drew a white line on the ground: "Don't cross the white line! Otherwise, killing is OK!"
Many ghosts retreated one after another, opened their eyes wide and looked at the two ghost immortals, and found that there was no trace of ghost energy on their bodies, and it might have been transformed into the legendary spirit body. The spirit body is different from ghosts. The yin energy is gone and the yang energy is filled. In the future, you can embark on the path of cultivating immortals and Buddhists.
Some ghosts sighed faintly: "It's so enviable! How great would it be if they were like them, they could have the opportunity to follow Master Qin Ku to practice!"
"Hmph, are you dreaming? Master Qin Ku has two hundred ghost immortals and eight thousand ghost kings to protect you! You are not even a ghost soldier now, so why can you get close to the mage?"
"Ah? Have you seen the Eight Thousand Ghost Kings? Qin Ku is still the Arhat Fruit, how could there be the Eight Thousand Ghost Kings?"
"Hehe, I naturally saw it! Every few hundred years, those ghost kings will appear and look around the small temple to shock the demon cultivators around you. Don't forget that although this is the Plateau of Burial of Buddha, it is a relatively concentrated place for Buddhist cultivators, there are still a large number of demon cultivators outside the Plateau of Tibetan Buddhism. Those people come to make trouble from time to time and have to be careful."
"There was once a demon cultivator with ulterior motives who came to this temple to spy on it, but was driven away by many ghost kings and ghost immortals!"
"The strength of these ghost kings is getting stronger and stronger. When I appeared on the last time I appeared, I counted roughly. Many ghost kings have been transformed into ghost immortals, and there are probably more than 3,000 ghost immortals!"
"Is that so? I heard that ghost immortals are different from ghost immortals. Some ghost immortals are equivalent to the level of earth immortals, and some ghost immortals are equivalent to the level of spirit immortals. Do you know what level they are?"
"My skill is too shallow, how can I tell it? I only know that the pressure released by them is becoming more and more powerful..."
At this moment, suddenly, behind many ghosts, there were a burst of commotion: "Hurry up, make a way out, the old monk Xuyun is here again!"
Countless ghosts crowded hard, giving way backwards and letting the old monk wearing a gray cassock walk in.
More than a dozen ghost immortals in the small temple kept silent and bowed quietly to the old monk.
The old monk did not look at these ghost immortals, but his eyes emitted a trembling light, looking at Qin Ku who was sitting quietly on the ground.
At this time, Qin Ku became thin again! The muscles on his body were not as heavy as three pounds! He wore a wide gray monk's robe, empty, like a clothes rack made of bamboo poles. At first glance, he only had a big head left, looking like a skinned skeleton!
A small hole as big as a needle was faintly opened between Qin Ku's eyebrows, and a dazzling Buddha light was coming out of the hole!
The old monk looked at it for a while and suddenly showed joy. He took a few steps back and came to the temple gate. He sat down cross-legged and looked at the many ghosts around him and said, "Dear donors, don't go away. It won't take long to see the first ray of fire. If you can see the first ray of fire, it will be of great benefit to you. You will be completely eliminated, your merits will be fulfilled, and you will be reincarnated as a wealthy family."
Many ghosts looked at each other, and a female ghost asked boldly: "Master Xuyun Bodhisattva, is Master Qin Ku going to attain enlightenment and become a Buddha?"
The old monk smiled slightly: "It's so early to become a Buddha, at most it's a sixth-level Bodhisattva."
"The Bodhisattva of the Sixth Level? That's also very amazing!"
The old monk looked kind and said, "The Bodhisattvas of the Sixth Level are still only Bodhisattvas at the intermediate level. There are also Bodhisattvas of the Seventh Level, Eighth Level, Ninth Level, and Tenth Level. There are Bodhisattvas of Equal Enlightenment and Bodhisattvas of Wonderful Enlightenment. Only then can they become Buddhas. There are also Buddhas, including small Buddhas and great Buddhas."
"But, there are not many high-level Bodhisattvas in this Tibetan Buddha Plateau."
The old monk said slowly: "A long time ago, there were a large number of high-level Bodhisattvas here, and even many true Buddhas. However, later the Heavenly Court changed the rules and did not allow immortals and Buddhas, and even higher-level Bodhisattvas to stay in the underworld, so many Bodhisattvas left."
"Master Xuyun, you are also a Bodhisattva in the Eighth Level, why are you still here?"
