Li Xiuchang never expected that this trial place would be opened in advance in this way.
Before Li Xiuchang entered the portal, Shi Tian also specifically reminded, "The purpose of this trial place is to select Buddhist Cultivator with greater potential. We will not guide you in the direction of your practice. Just choose the path that suits you best."
"Thank you, senior brother Shi Tian."
Li Xiuchang said thank you and walked into the door with the bright Buddha light ahead.
Watching Li Xiuchang disappear, Zhang Wanzhi, who was waiting outside the door, started chatting with Shi Tian, and also pulled Chen Changsheng in.
Chen Changsheng asked thoughtfully, "Master Shi Tian deliberately set many tests to help the potential Buddhist Cultivator grow, but in order to explore a new path?"
Shi Tian looked at him deeply and nodded silently.
Sure enough...Chen Changsheng had speculated before that there might be something wrong with the top management of Buddhism.
Therefore, the number of strong people at the top of the Buddhist path is rare. The most prosperous Pure Land Realm in the Buddhist path, such as Fakong Fahua, only have single digits of strong people at this level.
Nowadays, painstaking efforts are taken to cultivate Buddhist geniuses, with the purpose of allowing a large number of Buddhist geniuses to exert their spirituality and open up new paths for Buddhism.
Everyone's path is different. With the help of a large number of geniuses Buddhist Cultivator, maybe they will find a bright and prosperous path.
Li Xiuchang Stepped into the portal, feeling soft and empty under your feet, as if you were walking on the clouds.
He found that there was just a small, blank space behind it.
But standing in this space, the power in his body was activated uncontrollably, and his body gradually became covered with a layer of gold!
He spontaneously entered the "golden body" state.
Li Xiuchang has a vague guess: The real test may be in Origin World!
This trial space is just a springboard. Enter Origin World from here to start the real trial.
Sure enough, when Li Xiuchang completely entered Golden Body State, he immediately felt the attraction of Origin World.
He complied and entered Origin World.
As soon as he entered, what appeared in front of him was a Buddha statue made of countless light points!
"Is this test just to directly comprehend Buddhist Dao Origin?"
Li Xiuchang is a little helpless. If this is the case, he really has no choice. He knows almost nothing about Buddhism and Daoism, so he can have something to do with "Sentient Dao" among them.
Just now Shi Tian said that there would be no guidance on the direction of his practice and he would be allowed to develop freely.
But no matter how much it is used, it must at least be within the scope of Buddhism and Daoism, right?
What should he, a person who does not practice Buddhism, do?
At this moment, an idea from Buddhist Dao Origin was transmitted into his mind.
He suddenly understood what the real test of this level was.
"Choose a small branch of Buddhist Dao Origin and accept the indoctrination of the secret method of Buddhism's preaching, 'Buddha's Heart Grows Lotus'. See how much you can comprehend?"
Li Xiuchang understands that although the secret method of preaching is powerful, it also depends on the acceptance ability of the recipient.
This level tests the ability to accept.
Let yourself choose the branch of the avenue that you are best at and most interested in, and then instill it to see how much you can retain.
"If that's all, I can give it a try."
Li Xiuchang Needless to say, I must choose the part about "all living beings are equal" in the branch "Sentient Dao".
After he selected the corresponding Buddhist Dao Origin, a child's voice sounded in his ears.
It looks like a six or seven-year-old child is chanting sutras. If you listen carefully, you can recognize that he is actually preaching.
It's all about "Sentient Dao", which means "all living beings are equal".
Li Xiuchang tried hard to accept it, tried hard to understand it, and gradually sunk into it. He felt that it was so good that even a layman could hear it.
He seemed to be in an open space, and with the sound of children preaching, lotus flowers fell from the sky, and golden lotuses poured out from the ground...
Li Xiuchang The invisible "Heart of Myriad Daos" is the condensed will of the "Equalizer Dao" Dao that he comprehended. At this time, the invisible Dao Heart suddenly became a tangible thing.
Heart of Myriad Daos became the shape of a small lotus flower.
As Li Xiuchang listened to the children's sermons and absorbed the nutrients, the little lotus transformed by Heart of Myriad Daos slowly bloomed and stood gracefully.
The Buddha's heart gave birth to a lotus. Li Xiuchang did not have a Buddha's heart, but his Daoist heart did give birth to a lotus.
He was fascinated by what he heard, and it wasn't until the child's preaching stopped suddenly that Li Xiuchang woke up.
"Sentient Dao" has many similarities with "Equalizer Dao" of Li Xiuchang, which benefited him a lot.
Equalizer Dao crazily absorbed the useful parts. As for those ideas that were inconsistent with his ideas and belonged to Buddhism, he abandoned them.
However, because "Sentient Dao" and "Equalizer Dao" are too consistent, there are not many parts that need to be discarded.
If the Equalizer Dao that Li Xiuchang will build in the future is compared to a machine, the "all beings are equal" in "Sentient Dao" is equivalent to some parts of this machine that can be perfectly adapted.
This level tests the ability to accept it. If Li Xiuchang chooses other branches of Buddhism, he will definitely not be able to pass the level.
In short, no matter what, he must have passed the test and successfully accepted most of the content of this "Buddha's Heart Grows Lotus" preaching.
Moreover, at this level, the test itself was actually the biggest reward, allowing him to directly grasp part of the essence of "Sentient Dao" and greatly improve "Equalizer Dao".
He originally thought that after experiencing the first test, there would be a second test soon.
But unexpectedly, a young monk with delicate features suddenly appeared.
Li Xiuchang felt that the little monk was quite cute, and subconsciously wanted to pinch his face, but he knew very well that the little monk who could appear in Origin World could never really be just an ordinary child.
So he held back.
Fortunately, I held back.
Just listen to the young monk suddenly speak, his voice is childish, completely consistent with the preaching voice Li Xiuchang just heard.
"You have passed the test, but you Non-Self are a member of the Buddhist sect. Most of my Buddhist scriptures are not suitable for you, and there are not many that can be taught to you."
"However, you can be considered to be destined to my Buddhist sect. Next, I will pass on the volume "Great Dream True Scripture" to you. I hope that when you achieve success in the Tao in the future, you can contribute to the perfection of the Buddhist Tao."
"Great Dream True Scripture? What is that?"
Li Xiuchang Before he could ask any more questions, a book of scripture seemed to appear in front of his eyes.
The scriptures were turned over, and lines of strange words that he could not recognize came into view, making him suddenly feel sleepy for no reason.
This sutra is easier to sleep than Gaoshu...
Li Xiuchang fell asleep in a daze.
I didn't expect that I could still sleep under Origin World and Golden Body State.
But even when he fell asleep, the scripture did not let go of him and followed him into his dream.
In his dream, the words in the scriptures went straight into his mind, and he memorized them without even realizing it.
Then the young monk's voice rang in his ears, preaching to him.
He somehow understood the contents of the scripture and understood its meaning.
"Great Dream True Scripture"!
I see!
This is a wonderful book about enlightenment in dreams!
The effect is similar to Dream Entering Pill, but it can be superimposed.
In other words, he can swallow Dream Entering Pill and practice "Great Dream True Scripture" at the same time, and enjoy double the blessing of dreaming!
And Dream Entering Pill has a limitation, that is, it can only comprehend Buddhism in dreams.
But "Great Dream True Scripture" has no such restrictions. He can understand any avenue he wants in his dream.
But in terms of the dream effect, "Great Dream True Scripture" is much worse than Dream Entering Pill.
Practicing "Great Dream True Scripture" to achieve enlightenment in dreams, the flow of time in dreams is only several times faster than in the outside world.
But the flow rate of Dream Entering Pill's dream time is hundreds of times that of the outside world!
Of course, the flow rate of time cannot be directly equated to the effect of enlightenment.
Enlightenment is something that does not necessarily mean you will gain something if you put in the time.
Sometimes sitting there for a hundred years is really just sitting there.
Sometimes a sudden inspiration or sudden enlightenment is better than sitting idle for a hundred years.
It can only be said that "Great Dream True Scripture" and Dream Entering Pill each have their own advantages and disadvantages.
"Great Dream True Scripture" has a wider scope of application and can be used no matter what path you practice.
Dream Entering Pill is more effective, but it only applies to Buddhism.
Li Xiuchang completely mastered "Great Dream True Scripture" in his dream, and then woke up.
At this time, the little monk had disappeared.
"Is this the end?"
Li Xiuchang I feel like I was preparing for the imperial examination, but the result was just a gap in the primary school class test.
He thought there would be at least several tests, but it turned out that it just tested his ability to accept, and then it was gone.
Then the reward will be given directly.
"Great Dream True Scripture" is obviously his reward for completing the test.
Of course, it's not that "Great Dream True Scripture" is not good, it just feels like the test is too perfunctory.
Taking a casual test and directly giving the grand prize always gives people an unreal feeling of encountering a scam.
Li Xiuchang has reason to suspect that it is probably because he is not Buddhist Cultivator, so the person who presided over the test deliberately shortened the test process and made it perfunctory!
If you go through the entire process completely, you may gain more.
After all, the only acceptance test I just conducted was also an opportunity in itself.
But the matter has come to this, Li Xiuchang has no choice but to accept it.
After all, it is someone else's test, and it is someone else who has the final say, so allowing him to accept the test in advance is already giving him face.
"Who is that little monk?"
Li Xiuchang guessed the identity of the young monk who just appeared.
Since this test was left by Shi Tian, the "examiner" should also be Shi Tian.
Could it be that Shi Tian couldn't escape, so he arranged for a disciple to take his place?
Or... that little monk is the clone form of Shi Tian?
He thought of many possibilities, but he couldn't be sure.
Li Xiuchang was not in a hurry to leave Origin World, but immediately tested the effect of "Great Dream True Scripture".
He tried to practice "Great Dream True Scripture" in Origin World, entered the dream state, and understood the five elements Dao of Nature.
The effect is indeed very good. It has a blessing effect on Origin World's enlightenment. Combined with the multiple time flow rate bonus of entering the dream state, the efficiency of enlightenment is much faster.
However, when he swallows Dream Entering Pill again, after the effects are superimposed, he can only comprehend the Buddhist Tao and "Equalizer Dao". Those who comprehend other Daoists will not be able to enjoy the superimposed effect of Dream Entering Pill.
Li Xiuchang understands that priority must be given to improving Equalizer Dao.
When Equalizer Dao is powerful enough to "equal" all avenues into Buddhist paths, then he will be able to comprehend any avenue easily.
Currently, in Origin World, the origin of Equalizer Dao does not exist, so there will be no blessing from meditating on Equalizer Dao here.
He now understands that the fastest state of Equalizer Dao is under the double superposition of "Great Dream True Scripture" and Dream Entering Pill.
After Li Xiuchang became familiar with "Great Dream True Scripture", he stopped enlightening and quit Origin World.
When he opened his eyes, he found that he was already standing under the soles of the stone Buddha.
And the portal into the trial land has been closed.
Not far away, Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi and Senior Brother Chen Changsheng were holding Shi Tian, chatting animatedly.
So much so that when Li Xiuchang appeared, the two senior brothers seemed not to see it.
On the contrary, Shi Tian discovered Li Xiuchang immediately and walked towards him quickly. "What's the result?"
Li Xiuchang Xin said that the test you left behind, can you not know whether I passed it or not?
He suspected that Shi Tian was just looking for a topic to break away from Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Brother Chen.
But he still replied, "Thank you, Senior Brother Shi Tian, for your concern. I passed it smoothly."
Zhang Wanzhi and Chen Changsheng seemed to have just seen Li Xiuchang at this time. Zhang Wanzhi sighed, "Why did the test end so soon?"
This is because Li Xiuchang came back too early.
If Li Xiuchang could come back later, they could pester Shi Tian with more tricks.
Li Xiuchang also understood what the two senior brothers meant. The problem was that he didn't know that Origin World would send him directly to the feet of the Buddha as soon as he left.
He thought he would be sent to the trial space first.
He quickly said, "Thanks to Senior Brother Shi Tian, I have gained a lot this time. There is no way I can repay Senior Brother for his kindness. Please come to my sect and let me fulfill my duty as a landlord!"
"That's unnecessary..." Shi Tian's face froze and he quickly declined.
"What Xiuchang said makes sense!" Zhang Wanzhi clapped his hands, "Brother Shi Tian, on behalf of our entire sect, I welcome you!"
"I still have something important to do..."
Chen Changsheng said considerately, "Master Shi Tian, if you have something to do, can you arrange a clone to do it? If it doesn't work, you can leave a clone to visit our sect."
Shi Tian was speechless and looked helpless.
Li Xiuchang took advantage of the victory and said solemnly, "As Magic Dust Sect Vice Sect Master, I formally invite Master Shi Tian to be my guest, Magic Dust Sect."
Shi Tian could only nod in the end.
Li Xiuchang Of course it is impossible for them to bring Shi Tian to the Immortal Dust Sect, but inviting him to the Magic Dust Sect is not a big problem.
It is also very convenient to go from the Pure Land Realm to the Dark Heaven Realm, as there is a direct link to Teleportation Array.
Hui Ren, who woke up from his epiphany, sent Li Xiuchang and his party away. It could be seen that he was very interested in Shi Tian and seemed to have many doubts, but he had no chance to ask.
Li Xiuchang They teleported to the Dark Heaven Realm, and Zhang Wanzhi directly took out the highest hospitality specifications and released his Palace in the Palm.
The palace grew larger in the wind and floated in the air.
Li Xiuchang and others entered the palace, and Palace in the Palm shuttled above the clouds, but under the deliberate control of Zhang Wanzhi, the speed was not fast.
The palace was extremely luxurious. Zhang Wanzhi took out all kinds of Spirit Fruit to entertain Shi Tian while chatting with Shi Tian seemingly casually.
It's just that occasionally a sentence comes out, which seems to be unintentional, but is actually asking about some secrets.
Shi Tian is not a talkative person, and Zhang Wanzhi can't handle it alone. Chen Changsheng did not participate for the time being, but started chatting with Li Xiuchang.
He asked about Li Xiuchang's trial experience, and Li Xiuchang told him from beginning to end.
Incidentally, he also expressed his speculation. "Brother, I feel that this test of Buddhism is playing on me."
Chen Changsheng shook his head. "That's not necessarily true. This round of trials in Buddhism is more of a test than it is specifically designed to help those Buddhist geniuses grow.
"Those who can meet the requirements of this round of trials are already unique Buddhist geniuses, so there is no need for more tests."
Shi Tian means to cultivate a large number of geniuses and explore new paths for Buddhism and Daoism.
Therefore, there is no need to use multiple tests to screen out more geniuses.
This round of trials, to put it bluntly, is specifically for benefits.
Li Xiuchang understood and nodded. "However, who does senior brother think the young monk who appeared in the trial is?"
Chen Changsheng was silent for a moment and said, "I suspect that Shi Tian is not the one who really left the trial."
Li Xiuchang was stunned. "Is he pretending?"
"That's not to say, it's more like he was ordered to prevent us from opening the entrance to the trial. From the process of chatting with him, some details can confirm this."
"One more thing, I found that the big wooden fish didn't seem to recognize him as the master, so although he could use it, it was a little sluggish and unable to exert its full power."
"I suspect that the real wooden fish master is the one who left the trial place, and Shi Tian is just the subordinate or disciple of the wooden fish master."
Chen Changsheng's analysis is well-founded, and Li Xiuchang naturally believes it completely.
But then he was surprised and said, "Senior brother, you don't think that the young monk is the real wooden fish master, do you?"
Chen Changsheng nodded. "It's very possible! During your entire trial, only that little monk showed up, so he might be the one who left the trial behind!"
Li Xiuchang became even more curious about the young monk and Shi Tian, and asked, "Brother, you and Shi Tian have been chatting for so long, have you got any other information? Do you know their origins?"
Chen Changsheng shook his head. "This monk seems to be honest and taciturn, but he is very tight-lipped. When it comes to key information, he refuses to reveal a word. If he is really willing to say it, we might let him go early, and there is no need to keep him as a guest.
"But this monk's origins are mysterious and he should know a lot of secrets. If he doesn't reveal something this time, we won't let him leave under any circumstances."
Although Zhang Wanzhi deliberately slowed down the flight speed of the palace in order to delay time, Palace in the Palm finally arrived at the Magic Dust Sect.
Li Xiuchang When I came down, I saw the mountain gate of the Magic Dust Sect and thought I was in the wrong place.
There was a sea of people in front of us, and countless people lined up on both sides to welcome us!
A red banner was hung high with a letter: Welcome Master Shi Tian to come and give guidance!
Magic Dust Sect disciples also held various banners, with slogans such as "The devil and Buddha are a family" and "Friendship lasts forever".
Li Xiuchang knew at a glance that this must have been arranged by Senior Brother Chen Changsheng in advance.
Just in this posture, if Shi Tian doesn't explain something, he will definitely not be able to leave.
Sure enough, when Shi Tian saw this scene in front of him, he was stunned on the spot.
There was some embarrassment and fear on his face.
I wish I could disappear where I was.
How can an introvert stand this?
Before Shi Tian could make any reaction, the Magic Dust Sect disciples on both sides had already shouted:
"Welcome Master Shi Tian!"
"Welcome welcome!"
Zhang Wanzhi even gave Chen Changsheng a thumbs up quietly.
Little Shi Tian, I don't believe I can't defeat you!
Chen Changsheng smiled slightly, where are you?
At this moment, a tall man with a burly body and a sinewy face, with a majestic appearance and a dragon and tiger stride, walked out of the Magic Dust Sect mountain gate.
With a somewhat unnatural smile on his face, he strode towards Shi Tian.
The auspicious cloud of merit above his head was so dazzling that it made his fierce face look kind.
Behind him, there was a couple of men and women. The man looked like a man, and the woman was mature and beautiful, with a voluptuous figure. Even under the gaze of so many people, the man and woman still clasped their fingers together as if no one was watching.
The burly man walking in front put on an unnatural smile, stepped forward and grabbed Shi Tian's hand with both hands, shook hands with sincerity, and introduced himself, "I am Magic Dust Sect Master, Mo Tu, welcomes Master Shi Tian to visit me, Magic Dust Sect, and make me, Magic Dust Sect, shine!"
The smile on Shi Tian's face was even more unnatural than that of Mo Tu. He twitched the corners of his lips and said, "Sect Master Mo is too polite."
"Master, please come in! These are the two Vice Sect Master from my sect. They have prepared tea and meals after learning that the master is coming." Mo Tu introduced Lu Yang and Xia Siyun behind him.
The two Vice Sect Master cooked the food themselves, which shows their sincerity.
Shi Tian How did you refuse?
He originally planned to show some interest and come to the Magic Dust Sect to take a look and then leave because he had something to do.
But when he got here, he realized that everything was beyond his control.
Shi Tian was surrounded by a group of people and walked towards the Magic Dust Sect.
As one of Vice Sect Master, Li Xiuchang is naturally in the first echelon.
When he walked to the Zongmen Square of the Magic Dust Sect, he couldn't help but blurt out. "Lying Grass!"
Shi Tian also suddenly widened his eyes and blurted out. "Lying Grass..."
Then he realized that he had made a mistake, and quickly looked sideways at Li Xiuchang, and added, "Lying Grass is really a good thing. It is my Buddhist Cultivator holy medicine. Little brother Xiuchang also knows about Lying Grass?"
Li Xiuchang coughed. "I was lucky enough to get a few strains."
Several senior brothers around looked at each other with subtle smiles on their faces.
Let Li Xiuchang and Shi Tian be exported as dirty at the same time. It is actually a statue erected in the square!
It was a bald monk with a handsome face, and it was the statue of Shi Tian!
The huge statue is eye-catching and is made of pure gold. You will notice it at first sight as soon as you enter the square.
Mo Tu pointed at the statue and said to Shi Tian, "To commemorate Master Shi Tian's visit, I specially carved it with my own hands. I was short of time and could not carve out the master's unexpected style. Please don't blame me."
Shi Tian took a deep breath and was speechless for a long time.
Li Xiuchang secretly gave a circle of likes to the senior brothers and sisters... One word, absolutely!
Shi Tian was silent for a few breaths, and suddenly the expression on his face became much more natural, and he said with emotion, "Thank you so much for your kindness."
At this time, he finally recognized the fact that Magic Dust Sect was here, and he couldn't leave without explaining something.
He turned around and left now. Even if Zhang Wanzhi they didn't stop him, he might have inner demons when he went back and feel like he was nothing.
Now that this is the case, Shi Tian simply lets go, just treat it as a normal journey, and enjoy the experience.
Although Master had deliberately told him before coming here that many things should not be told to the outside world.
But those things that have not been explained should be mentioned, right?
