Everyone is a demon, why are you covered in holy light?

Chapter 239 The Buddha will listen to the sutras and see the true Buddha! "6260 words"

"I wanted to stay with the Immortal again to fulfill the friendship of the landowner, but the Buddhist meeting has been held. I hope the Immortal will take care of himself. If you have leisure in the future, you can come to Jia's place again. I must treat the Immortal well."

The Buddhist meeting was held today. Jia Fugui knew that Yang Yu was about to leave, so he took the initiative to offer some gold and silver to express his gratitude.

As a commoner, no matter what the superior immortal likes, he can only take out these vulgar things.

Yang Yu did not refuse this. He had some money on him, and he might be able to use it at some point.

"Thank you very much, Boss Jia, for your kindness. See you soon."

Yang Yu didn't say much. After saying goodbye to Jia Fugui, he quickly left the Jia family's mansion.

If you stay in Tianfo City temporarily in the future, you may meet someone by chance.

After leaving the Jia family's residence and walking on the street, he could tell through perception that many monks had appeared in Tianfo City just in the past few days.

Walking on the street at this time, these monks had completely gathered and were heading towards the center of Tianfo City.

It was already obvious where the Buddhist meeting was being held without Yang Yu asking for directions.

Due to the appearance of the monks, the civilians in Tianfo City also knew that today was a very special day, so most of them hid in their homes and did not dare to go out. Only some brave ones would climb up the wall to watch secretly.

Although the people who came were all monks from various small sects and some casual cultivators, and all of them were very violent, but now in the city under the jurisdiction of Dade Temple, no one deliberately harmed these civilians.

Following the flow of people into the city, the crowds were bustling, enough to see that the Buddhist meeting at Dade Temple was bustling with activity.

However, despite this, everyone still deliberately kept a certain distance as a precaution.

Just after leaving the Jia family's mansion, smelling the rich scent of incense spreading in the air, and hearing the low chants of Sanskrit chants, even though we have not yet reached the location of the Buddhist meeting, the atmosphere has begun to become solemn and solemn. Bewildered.

The speed was neither too fast nor too slow. After walking for more than two quarters of an hour, Yang Yu finally saw where a large number of people gathered.

There is a very large and broad square, in a very regular circle, with a circle of incense candles surrounding the edge of the square. Even in the daytime, the light of the incense candles gather together in patches and are still bright.

The square is solid and flat. The ground is paved with pure jade-colored bricks. There are twelve steady and powerful pillars standing around the square.

Countless incense candles were burning quietly. Even though the monks who came had entered the square and brought bursts of breeze, the fire was still not affected in any way.

A faint smoke filled the entire square, making people feel a sacred and solemn atmosphere.

All the people gathered poured into the square. Some people had obviously participated in previous Buddhist meetings and were familiar with it.

There was no one to guide, but everyone knew what they should do when they saw the situation in front of them.

Yang Eucalyptus followed the crowd into the square, found a place to stand, and then waited for the official convening of the Buddhist meeting.

There were too many people, at least several thousand in number. Even if you didn't need to actively use your own senses, you could still feel the strong aura of cultivation and other auras around you.

Most of these people are on fake food, a few are on fu organs and stones, and none of them are on meat.

Yang Gu couldn't help but guess that perhaps only those who died physically were eligible to participate in the Buddhist meeting.

However, it was precisely because there were so many people that Yang Gu was almost nauseous when he was among the crowd.

The strange smells of these people are mixed together, which is really addictive and makes you want to stop.

On the contrary, Gong Niang was almost crying. From time to time, she would whisper about the beautiful man in Yang Yu's ear. If she had a mouth, her tongue would have flowed to the ground.

Although she knew that in the eyes of others, Gong Niang was just an ordinary bow, Yang Yu still persuaded Gong Niang to restrain herself in order to avoid being noticed accidentally.

He is now afraid that he will attract too much attention. If someone recognizes that the Bow Lady is a special magic weapon that can touch the soul, it will cause trouble.

After all, he was here to be an undercover agent, not to kill people and set fires. An undercover agent should look like an undercover agent. Before entering Dade Temple, it was best not to attract too much attention.

More and more monks gathered in the square. Fortunately, the square was big enough. After waiting for half an hour, the sky became slightly dim.

Suddenly, Yang Yu noticed that the sound of Sanskrit singing in his ears was getting louder and louder. At the same time, a very rich and pungent scent of incense rushed towards his face, as if forming a wind, passing through everyone present.

"I heard that all living beings are suffering. Only by overcoming good and transforming evil can one become a true Buddha!"

A melodious chant came from a distance, from far to near.

Standing on the twelve tall pillars around the square, figures wearing monk's robes appeared. They seemed to be sitting on the lotus platform, their eyes empty and colorless, as if they were infatuated.

The appearance of these twelve monks immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the square. The originally noisy environment quickly became a lot quieter because of their appearance.

All of these monks who appeared were of the highest level of cultivation!

Just as these monks were sitting on the pillars, the incense candles surrounding the square suddenly burst into flames, and the thick incense smoke quickly rose up like adding fuel to the fire, completely covering the entire square.

The rising smoke seemed to completely divide the inside and outside of the square into two worlds.

Seeing this scene, even people who have never participated in a Buddhist meeting before know that the Buddhist meeting has officially begun.

"The Buddhist Association is just the threshold. If you really want to worship at Dade Temple, you still need to pass the three tests of heart experience. Only by listening to the Buddhist scriptures at the Buddhist Association can you be qualified to go to Yan'an Temple and accept the three tests!"

However, even if you have not passed the threshold of the Buddhist Association, you can still gain something. Although it is just listening to the scriptures, it is still an opportunity for us. "

Among the crowd, Yang Yu keenly caught the whispers of someone communicating.

Of course, apart from him, there were many people who heard this sentence and had a preliminary understanding of the true purpose of the Buddhist Association.

Immediately afterwards, without saying a word, the monks on the twelve pillars began to chant obscure scriptures loudly, and everyone in the square began to become silent, listening in silence.

There was still no guidance from anyone, and the Buddhist meeting just started quietly.

The sound of chanting sutras was clearly like thunder, but it was also like a dream. It gave Yang Yu the feeling of returning to the school classroom when she was studying in her previous life. But as soon as she heard the teacher's lecture, she couldn't help but fall asleep.

No, even in terms of effect, the Buddhist Association is a hundred times, a thousand times more powerful!

It's just that Yang Yu's consciousness is extremely clear, and he doesn't know why he is so clear.

It has already begun. This is the test above the Buddhist Association. So what does he need to do to pass the test?

He couldn't help but think about this problem in his mind. The only way was to observe the actions of other people.

He saw many people listening quietly and attentively without saying a word, but some people had already entered the state very quickly, and their standing bodies began to sway slightly.

But without exception, these people who have entered the state are just guys with low cultivation levels, basically at the level of fake food.

But as time passed little by little, under the sound of chanting that enveloped the entire square, this state spread like a virus. Many monks in Yuanji also began to enter the state and became intoxicated.

But compared to the fake food, Yang Yu noticed something strange among the monks who were eating the food. Many of them had obvious resistance on their faces. They seemed not to want to enter that state of obsession.

But resistance was useless. As time passed slowly, more and more people became sleepy.

Yang Yu also felt this way, but he didn't know if it was because his own cultivation was that of a flesh-eating person, and he was just sealed into the fake food. The blurred feeling of his consciousness being slowly eroded invisibly did not have any effect on him. What an effect.

In other words, he doesn't know anything, and he also wants to pretend to be in the same state as others. After all, he is also a fake now, so it's better to pretend.

As a result, even if he wanted to take the initiative, he could not fall into the obsessive state of consciousness, but was extremely sober.

Another hour passed, and more and more monks in the square fell into coma. A large number of fake food Yuanji monks had even fallen to the ground and lost consciousness.

Even many Fu Shi monks are becoming increasingly unable to hold on in this state, and there are very few who can stay awake.

At this moment, Yang Yu, in order to avoid attracting attention, could only pretend to be struggling to hold on and walk in vain.

Although there are some monks like him who only have fake food cultivation who are still standing, their condition is not very good and they may fall down at any time. Yang Yu learned from them.

But when I hear the chanting sound that keeps coming to my ears, the sound is like thunder. Why do I become more energetic the more I listen to it? !

The monks who were sitting on the pillars had been chanting non-stop for more than an hour. Wouldn’t their throats be dry?

Thinking about some irrelevant issues, time continued to pass quietly.

One hour...two hours...

It was already late at night just for listening to the scriptures. At this time, the number of people still standing in the square could be counted at a glance, and they were already less than a hundred.

However, after waiting for a while, the sound of chanting that had lasted for several hours slowly stopped, and the entire square suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

The monks who were originally sitting on the pillars stood up and looked down at the few people still standing in the square below.

Among the thick smoke rising from the incense candles at the edge of the square, an entrance and exit quickly spread out.

A monk with Fu Shi cultivation walked in. He looked tall and thin, and glanced at the people still standing.

"All of you who are destined to be donors, please follow the young monk to Yan'an Temple."

He bowed slightly, pointed to the entrance and exit where the smoke dispersed, and said with compassion on his face.

Yang Yu opened her eyes slightly, as if she suddenly woke up from a drowsy state. She followed everyone's gaze and looked at the monk who came to guide them, feeling slightly surprised by this.

Is this a pass? !

…

Yang Yu walked out of the square with the people who were still conscious, and left through the exit where the smoke dispersed.

Among the few people, many were still confused and trembling when they walked, as if they might fall to the ground at any time.

Under the guidance of the monk at the exit, after everyone left, the smoke sealed the square again.

Yang Yu quietly tried it, and found that her perception could not penetrate the incense smoke in the closed square, and she could not see what was going on inside.

I don’t know what will happen to those who are still unconscious in the square.

However, he has already passed the Buddhist meeting and listened to the sutras. The next things here have nothing to do with him and there is no need to worry about it.

A group of people, led by the monks, headed towards the direction of Yan'an Temple. They were going to accept the so-called three levels of heart testing. As long as they passed the three levels of heart testing, they could worship at Dade Temple and become one of them.

Tianfo City became quiet late at night, and the civilians in the city had already fallen asleep peacefully. The brightness coming from the streets was the red candles lit on the door walls of every house, and the smell of incense was still very strong.

After everyone left the square, they walked farther and farther away and disappeared around the corner of the street.

At this time, in the square, the monks standing on the pillars looked at each other and sat up again.

They performed the same movements, making secret seals with their hands, chanting mantras, and counting points one after another in the void.

There were countless people lying on the square below, but no one was awake. They were all in a state of confusion and had no idea what the monks were doing at this time.

A black lotus appeared in front of each monk, as if rooted in the thick smoke of the incense, with countless black roots running down the pillars.

Twelve pillars stood at every position on the edge of the square. Those black roots quickly spread towards the square, passing over every person who fell on the ground, as if looking for their own targets.

After finding the target, the tendrils penetrated the tops of these people's skulls like long worms.

Black lotuses scattered on the square, forming a tall black Buddha. The Buddha looked like a dream, with a smile and a peaceful face.

But the Buddha's whole body exuded a faint black energy, which entered the heads of these people along the countless roots in the square below.

…

There are three places in Tianfo City, two of which are not allowed for ordinary people to enter or even get close to.

One is the glazed pagoda for worshiping Buddha, and the other is the city lord's palace.

These two places belong to the important areas of Tianfo City.

But there is a place where incense is widely accepted, and during the day, there is an endless stream of people coming and going.

This place is Yan'an Temple.

Yan'an Temple also falls under the rule of Dade Temple, just like Baifo Temple when Yang Yu was in Dingzhou, but compared to Baifo Temple, the status of the two is very different.

If Dade Temple is regarded as a dynasty, then Yan'an Temple is the Dudu Mansion in Tianfo City.

This is also where Dade Temple is located in the city, where ordinary people offer incense, pray for blessings, and receive incense.

Yan'an Temple is not small, and is even much larger than Jia Fugui's mansion where Yang Yu stayed before. It is more than enough to accommodate people like them who came to listen to scriptures through Buddhist meetings.

As soon as we entered the temple, the bright moon was high, and the rich smell of incense could make people cry. In addition, the entire temple was filled with a solemn atmosphere, and no one dared to speak.

The guiding monk took them into the main hall in the middle, called "Yinhuan".

As soon as they entered the main hall, the first thing everyone saw was the golden statues of Buddha located everywhere.

Buddha, Bodhisattva, Arhat, Vajra...

Each Buddha statue is solemn and solemn, with a compassionate face.

On the altar table in front of the Buddha statue, incense and candles are burning, and various tributes are placed on it. Sitting below is a monk wearing a white monk's robe with a gold tattoo on his sleeve collar.

His right hand struck the wooden fish calmly and forcefully, his left hand slowly stroked a string of green rosary beads, and he recited obscure scriptures in a low voice.

It was an old monk, slightly stooped, hairless but with a long white beard.

The monk who was responsible for leading everyone brought them here without saying a word, just waiting quietly for the old monk to finish reciting the scriptures, and no one dared to disturb him.

After about a quarter of an hour passed, the movements of the old monk's hands slowly stopped, and he finally finished reciting the sutra.

"Abbot Dehou, people have been brought here. A total of eighty-seven people who are destined to be here this time are all here."

At this time, the leading monk slowly approached the old monk and whispered.

The old monk's identity is the abbot of Yan'an Temple, and his monastic name is Dehou.

"good."

After hearing the words of the leading monk, Dehou nodded, but did not get up. He still sat calmly on the ground and first recited Amitabha loudly.

The next moment, before everyone present could react, they heard a wake-up call like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning.

In the Yinhuan Hall, one of the Buddha statues' golden body suddenly swelled, glaring angrily.

Before everyone could see clearly what was happening, they heard two screams suddenly coming from the crowd, and two people turned into a pool of blood in an instant under the gaze of the golden Buddha statue.

The strong smell of blood spread all of a sudden, frightening everyone around them and retreating. They didn't know how the two dead people had offended the abbot.

Yang Yu could clearly see that the strange looking Buddha statue was heading towards those two people and not targeting anyone else.

But, why did you suddenly attack these two people? He was also confused.

Could it be that there are too many destined people?

Just then, I heard the virtuous old monk sitting on the ground chant another Buddhist chant, and then slowly said:

"I, the Buddha, do not succumb to demons and demons. Since you dare to enter my Yan'an Temple, you must be prepared to come back and never come back."

After hearing the words of the virtuous old monk, everyone suddenly realized.

It turns out that the two people who were killed by the golden Buddha statue just now were actually demons in disguise! None of them found any clues, and the demon's methods were indeed powerful.

Is it actually a monster?

Yang Yu glanced sideways at the two pools of blood on the ground and smelled a stench that spread due to death. However, as soon as this smell appeared, it was immediately eliminated by the strong smell of incense.

It is indeed a monster.

So now that the demon has been removed, there are only eighty-five people left.

"My great virtue has three tests of the heart, which are 'truth test', 'false test' and 'goodness test'. Those who pass these three tests can go to Liuli.

You are all practitioners, and you are all destined to attend this Buddhist meeting. You must not take any chances. "

Still with his back to the crowd, the virtuous old monk spoke slowly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved it gently. In an instant, the entire Yinhuan Palace underwent earth-shaking changes.

Everyone saw that in the bright light of countless incense candles, everything around them suddenly entered a gray land. They could clearly see the flames, but they could not see the surrounding things.

All the golden Buddha statues and altar tables in the hall disappeared, and they seemed to have arrived in a dream-like space.

The old monk Dehou and the leading monk also disappeared without a trace, and their destination was unknown.

Just when everyone was confused, the voice of the virtuous old monk came from all directions, seemingly everywhere.

"The first level is called truth verification!"

As his voice came, a buzzing sound suddenly sounded around everyone, as if something appeared.

In that brightly lit but hazy scene, identical but solemn golden Buddha statues appeared quickly, like bamboo shoots after a rain, one after another.

Everyone was surrounded by the golden bodies of Buddha statues. They were amazed as they looked at the Buddha statues that stretched as far as the eye could see.

There are so many Buddha statues. Each one is the size of an adult man. They are everywhere from the inside to the outside. It is impossible to count them.

“There are a total of twelve thousand three hundred and seventy-nine golden bodies here.

It is a true Dharma Realm.

There are two attachments inside.

Hidden three refuges.

The seven branches of enlightenment.

A total of nine hearts! "

"You need to use your mind to find your true body within one stick of incense, break your illusions, and see the true Buddha. Only then can you pass the test!"

The voice of the old monk Dehou came again, and everyone looked up and saw that in the mid-air, among the three candles, a fine incense had been lit, and a few green smoke rose.

A stick of incense! Time is only a stick of incense!

Yang Yu understood the meaning of the old monk Dehou. It was actually very simple, that is, let them find the golden body of the true Buddha among these 12,379 golden bodies. He just didn't know if others understood it.

He couldn't care about other people, but everyone saw the fine incense starting to burn above their heads, and they all started to take action.

Yang Yu is no exception. He must enter Dade Temple. Old Man Zhuanyu has set a seal on him. If he fails to complete this preliminary task, it means that all subsequent plans will fall short, and there will be no need to say his fate.

There are golden Buddha statues all around, which is dazzling.

Yang Yu first looked at the nearest golden body and observed it carefully, and so did everyone else.

It's just that no matter judging from the sense of breath or external characteristics, these golden Buddha statues don't look any different at all. Even the details are exactly the same, as if they have been perfectly copied, and it is impossible to distinguish the true from the false.

Use your own mind to find your true body, use your own mind to destroy illusions, and see the true Buddha?

Yang Yu thought of what the old monk Dehou said just now, which sounded like a reminder to everyone.

But after careful consideration, he still couldn't understand the meaning of Zen in it.

On the other hand, other people nearby began to boldly inject magic power into the golden body of the Buddha. Some sat cross-legged in front of the golden body as if they were meditating. Some even acted daringly and made moves on the golden body of the Buddha. .

Perhaps according to the thinking of these guys, the fake ones cannot bear it, and only the real ones can remain intact.

The fine incense on the head has burned through one-fifth of the time without realizing it. The time for one stick of incense is too short. Everyone is thinking of ways to do it, but they didn't expect that just the first level would be so difficult.

Rude!

Seeing the people around him displaying their magical powers, Yang Yu shook his head and felt quite unsatisfied.

He is different from others.

He slowly raised his hand and touched his fingers to the golden body of the Buddha statue in front of him.

I have an identification device!

…

I was trying to save the manuscript last night, but the internet was disconnected at 1:00 a.m., and it wasn’t restored until later today.

In addition, fellow authors suggested that I update the big chapter and merge the original 3,000-word chapter into one chapter and two chapters. Otherwise, the small chapter will not be published. This makes sense, and I will try to make it as big as possible in the future. Yes, you don’t have to worry about the regular updates of five to six thousand words every day. If you still owe updates, I will try to make it bigger, so that you can pay back two outstanding updates at once.
