Martial Saint!

Chapter 318: The Road to Tribulation (3k)

In the interior scene, Lu Chenzhou climbed up the stairs and went up to the next floor.

After finishing today's homework, it was already 11 o'clock at night.

He took out a brand new scripture:

"The Heart Sutra of the Supreme Being in the Three Worlds and Ten Directions".

"I have been practicing this method for more than a year, and I have also read many Buddhist and Taoist texts. I should be able to try to practice it."

"Sakyamuni Tathagata, through all the eons of calamity, every time you survive a calamity, you will gain one point of merit!"

Lu Chenzhou calmed down, clasping his hands together and sitting in a mudra, like an old monk in meditation.

Buddhist mind training and the whirling meditation method have different approaches but the same effect.

His consciousness descended into the ocean of his soul and kept going downward, diving deeper and deeper.

Silence, darkness, loneliness, restlessness...all kinds of emotions are intertwined.

Gradually, fine beads of sweat oozed from Lu Chenzhou's forehead.

His consciousness reached the deepest part of the soul ocean.

Ahead is a strange and colorful water area.

"The Heart Sutra says that the deepest part of the ocean of soul is the ocean of collective consciousness of all living beings."

It is very dangerous to enter the ocean of collective consciousness rashly.

If you don't have enough willpower, it's easy to get lost in it.

Therefore, Abbot Huikong ordered Shaolin monks and non-martial arts masters not to practice this method.

"With my 90% Prajna spiritual power and fifth-level boxing skills, many masters can't match them. It's enough!"

Lu Chenzhou plunged into it with a sudden move.

When he woke up, he looked around:

In the dim sky, the bloodshot full moon is hidden in the mist;

In the distance, dilapidated Zen monasteries scattered among the mountains and forests are shrouded in a faint red light;

The gloomy mountain gate in front of you;

Beside the mountain road, the ground is full of skeletons dressed in monk's robes, with human heads and animal bodies, which are weird and terrifying;

On the plaque of the collapsed gate tower, there are three words clearly written: [Landuo Temple].

"It's strange. I obviously don't know these three words, but I seem to automatically know their meaning."

He stood in front of a puddle of water and looked at his reflection.

Wearing a white robe, with his hands clasped together, his face cannot be seen clearly.

After looking around, he climbed up the stairs along the mountain path.

A black shadow shot out from the dense forest.

With his telekinesis, he had already discovered the other party's existence.

His claws were like tigers, veins popped out, and he grabbed the black shadow.

This was a strange snake about 10 feet long, with the head of a monk and the body of a snake. The strange snake was easily killed by him.

"Isn't this a nightmare of a certain monk? Landa Temple? I've never heard of it."

Lu Chenzhou murmured.

He is not the only one who practices this Heart Sutra.

Buddhist masters such as Zhending, Mingxin, and Tuotian Tutuo have already started practicing.

Before practicing, Lu Chenzhou also consulted on precautions.

They say that when you practice the Heart Sutra and dive into the ocean of collective consciousness, you will fall into some very real illusion.

As long as you find the key points of the illusion and smash them, you can wake up.

This is considered to be the completion of a calamity.

Illusions can best train the mind, so the great monk of Jinshan Temple will use the fox demon Slaanesh's illusion to practice.

This is consistent with the principle of the Heart Sutra.

On the mountain road, a group of monsters with monk heads and beast bodies suddenly appeared.

In the fantasy world, what is fought for is spiritual power and other spiritual power.

Perceiving with telekinesis, the mental power of these monsters is only 5 Prajna.

Converted to a monster, he is at the level of a little demon.

"A weak chicken with a combat power of 5."

He swept all the way and soon came to the Zen courtyard.

In the courtyard, there is a rickety monster with the head of a monk and the body of a wolf, standing upright, holding an iron rod about ten feet long, chanting the Buddha's name with one hand:

"Amitabha, the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, but when you turn around, you will reach the shore..."

"roll!"

Lu Chenzhou moved.

He patrolled the mountains like a mountain god, floated in front of the monster, punched out, and the wind howled.

Monk Tou Lang's strength is about 10 Prajna, which is already at the level of a martial artist.

But in front of Lu Chenzhou, it was like a lone boat hit by huge waves. It hit the red wall of the temple and was shattered.

The monk's head rolled to the ground, still muttering:

"The sea of ​​suffering has no end, but when you turn around, you will find shore~"

Poof, Lu Chenzhou crushed it with one kick.

The body of the monk-headed wolf turned into ashes and was swept away by the wind.

A speck of golden light remained in place.

Lu Chenzhou picked it up and muttered:

"Monk's relic..."

The golden relic turned into a golden warm current and poured into his body.

He felt that his body had become more solid, and his mental strength had also increased.

"It turns out this is calamity... I understand."

After the monk-headed wolf died, the surrounding space twisted and deformed like waves.

Obviously, it is the key point of this illusion.

"Ho ho ho... Donor, where are you going!"

Accompanied by a strange roar, the door of the lecture hall suddenly opened.

An iron tower figure wearing cassocks, a monk's head and a pig's body, holding a six-foot-long sword, suddenly came to kill.

Lu Chenzhou frowned slightly. The monster's strength was only 12 Prajna.

If his illusion wasn't about to dissipate, he would have killed him with one punch.

In the end, the monster's sword slashed into the air and split the green bricks on the ground!

"I'm going to eat you, eat you!"

Retro clock, the hands point to 12 o'clock in the morning.

In the practice room.

Lu Chenzhou woke up and looked at the time.

"Has it been an hour?"

He quickly looked at the martial arts tree.

[Heart Sutra of the Three Worlds and Ten Directions Zhongzun: First Level (1%) → First Level (2%)]

"This is an increase of 1%. It doesn't seem to be difficult. It should be because my mental strength is already very high."

He used his mind power to activate the meditation beads and spin them slowly.

[Current mental power: 91 Prajna]

"It actually increased by 1 Prajna. If every 1% increase can increase 1 Prajna, then when the Heart Sutra is practiced to the second level, the mental power can catch up with my blood and qi level. Isn't this a sure thing? Ascending to the Soul Emperor in ten years? Something is wrong, it shouldn't be that simple." Lu Chenzhou rubbed his eyebrows, and there was an invisible swelling pain in his head.

Every time he practiced the heart, it was also a big consumption of the mind, and he needed to rest for a while.

During this period, he did not delay the practice of the pile.

He left a message for Tuotian Tou Tuo.

Not long after, the video call came.

"Little friend Lu, what's the matter?"

"Senior, excuse me, what level of the Heart Sutra have you reached now?"

"The sixth level, have you started practicing too?"

"I just completed a tribulation, and my mental power has directly increased by 1 Prajna."

"It's normal. The first tribulation is like the first time the body experiences gravity training, and there will be a major transformation. From my experience, after practicing the first level of the Heart Sutra, the total Prajna mental power will only increase by 7-10. Don't have too high expectations. It's easy to understand if you think of the Heart Sutra as the spiritual version of "Tiger Demon Tai Sui Gong". The first three levels of the Heart Sutra correspond to the spiritual practitioners of the first realm. With your mental power comparable to the second realm, going back and going through the first three levels of the tribulation can be regarded as a dimensionality reduction attack."

After listening to Tuotian Tou Tuo's words, Lu Chenzhou became more convinced.

This Heart Sutra, he is just playing games!

The illusion is a copy.

Completing a successful tribulation in a copy can gain spiritual improvement.

When you finish the game, go through all the difficulties and countless calamities, you will have mastered the Heart Sutra.

As for the game server, it is the ocean of the soul.

And the illusion comes from the collective subconscious of all living beings.

But if it is a game, this illusion is too real?

With this in mind, Lu Chenzhou asked:

"Senior, the subconscious of all living beings must be a reflection of some reality they have experienced, right?"

"Well, the subconscious is not groundless, similar to dreams. No matter how bizarre the things in dreams are, they have a basis in reality."

"The illusion of my tribulation is a temple."

"What temple?"

"Lantuo Temple."

"Lantuo Temple? Are you sure?"

"What's wrong? Could it be that you, senior, are also?"

"I'm not Lantuo Temple. I'm on an isolated island in the sea, surrounded by monsters."

"Okay."

"But I killed a monster with a monk's head and a fish body in the illusion yesterday. Before it died, it looked to the west and said...Lantuo Temple."

At this moment, the old and the young were silent.

After a while, Tuotian Tou Tuo called Mingxin.

"Mingxin, what was the illusion you experienced when you practiced the Heart Sutra?"

Mingxin said without hesitation:

"I was in a temple on a snowy mountain, chanting sutras, reciting Buddha's name, cooking... It seemed like I was practicing again."

"What happened next?"

"Nothing happened next. I couldn't leave the temple. My master said I was not good enough and was not allowed to go down the mountain."

"Are there no monsters?"

"Yes, they fly over from time to time, but the old monks in our temple are very good, and the monsters dare not approach."

"What is the specific name of the temple?"

"Sakya Temple."

"Have you heard of Nalanda Temple?"

"No... ..."

Toutian Tou Tuo asked again:

"Where is Zhen Ding? Do you know his situation?"

"I don't know, I haven't asked."

Soon after, the burly monk Zhen Ding came over and said:

"Heart Sutra? I haven't practiced it for a while. Recently, I have been busy with the integration of horizontal martial arts."

"What level are you at now?"

"The first level."

Toutian Tou Tuo's old face darkened, and he couldn't help but say:

"With your realm, if you practice normally, you should be at least the third level now, right?"

Shaolin Temple will not force the masters to practice any martial arts, it is all voluntary.

But Abbot Huikong said before that if you have the conditions, you can practice the Heart Sutra.

Zhen Ding is really a monk, who only likes to practice the body and neglects to practice the mind.

Zhen Ding said helplessly:

"I want to, but I really don't have the talent to cultivate my mind.

I was trapped in a cave. At the entrance of the cave was a strange monk with a monk's head, a bear body and a cassock.

I wondered, is the first level of the Heart Sutra so difficult to practice?

Although I don't focus on cultivating my mind, I am a master after all, and my mental power is at least at the second level of the Posuo Heart Martial Arts, right?

I thought the strange monk should be the key to the tribulation, and I fought with him every time I cultivated my mind.

Then I fought for three months and couldn't get out of the door, so I gave up strategically and waited for the Grand Master to talk about it later."

Lu Chenzhou asked: "Senior Zhen Ding, where is your cave?"

Zhen Ding recalled and frowned: "I really didn't notice it. How about I practice the Heart Sutra now?"

Toutian Tou Tuo said: "You practice, I will protect you."

Zhen Ding sat cross-legged in meditation, put his hands together, and began to experience the tribulation.

Just after sitting down for a few minutes, he stood up, looking pale, probably because he failed again.

His face was full of pain, and he said: "That strange monk claimed to be... the abbot of Nalanda Temple."
