Chapter 339 [Female Earth] Emptiness
Several years ago.
Inside the Wuxiang Temple of all students.
Outside the "Dust Washing Pool".
"Greetings, Great Dharma King!"
Maraja clasped his hands together, bowed respectfully, and looked at the Great Dharma King Kumarajiva in front of him.
Kumarajiva's voice was extremely calm: "Sangji's inability to achieve the 'Cleansing of Karmic Ties' supernatural power must be due to deep-seated karmic entanglements, which even the 'Cleansing Pool' cannot wash away..."
A sharp glint flashed in Moroji's eyes.
He was already in the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm and had mastered two supernatural abilities: "White Bone Contemplation" and "Cleansing Dust and Fate." However, before he mastered the second supernatural ability, he was also unaware of its key points!
Clearly, this is the essence of the Temple of the Origin of All Dharmas... The differences in the progress of various practices, and even subtle manifestations, reveal their origins and distinctions...
"Sangji had been in seclusion for many years, making it difficult for him to become a Dharma King. We suspected that his destiny was shallow, so we specifically tested him with the Yin Corpse Sect's 'Xuanjun Zhaijiao Shi Ningzhen Chi,' but ultimately there was nothing unusual. He was still an important pawn for the esoteric monks to cross the sea to the East, so we put him aside for the time being..."
"Now it seems that our destiny wasn't too weak, but rather too strong..."
Kumarajiva's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a venomous and cruel glint in them: "Go and make the arrangements... Regardless of whether Sanji succeeds or fails, imprison him and use him as a sacrificial offering to the 'Lord of the Sita Forest'!"
"And the White Bone Path, condemned as traitors... eliminate them all!"
Morosh also revealed a cruel smile...
suddenly!
Boom!
A thunderclap seemed to flash across the void.
Kumarajiva and Maraksha, however, were overcome with tears, as if summoned by some immense will. They stumbled and crawled to the main hall of the Temple of No Forms of All Beings, and knelt before the statue of the Lord of the Ashtanga, who wore a crown of five skulls.
"Buddha..."
With tears welling in his eyes, Kumarajiva exclaimed, "Great One, you have finally issued the Buddha's decree..."
rustling...
It seemed as if countless insects were crawling in the air, making tiny noises.
Inside the temple, numerous mounds of earth rose up, accompanied by the dense sound of flapping wings.
Before anyone knew it, one bat after another began to hang from the eaves of the temple, forming rows...
A giant white bat flapped its wings and suddenly appeared before Kumarajiva and his companion, dropping a scroll of human skin thangka...
……
The scene changes.
Before them lay a vast pool of blood, into which countless treasures and human sacrifices had been thrown, emanating an eerie stench…
Kumarajiva and Moroji stood beside the huge blood pool, silently watching as one by one the Purple Mansion Spiritual Objects were consumed.
After a long silence, Kumarajiva's dry voice finally rang out: "Water and fire swallow [the wind], hence the sayings of feng shui and wind and fire... Metal and earth swallow [shamanism], hence the practice of sacrifices and witchcraft..."
"The shaman is in charge of sacrificial rites and holds the power of fortune and misfortune. He can drive away ghosts and spirits to exert his power, and is adept at concealing the secrets of heaven and obscuring the results of divination. This is the power of witchcraft, which can be achieved through sacrificial rites, but its principles cannot be investigated, for its essence is a profound and difficult-to-understand art."
"According to the decree of the 'Lord of the Ashtanga Forest,' I must remain at the Temple of All Beings Without Form. Mara, you are responsible for taking care of that human skin thangka. As for the specifics, we will have to wait and see the results of the ritual..."
Rumble!
Just as Kumarajiva was speaking, a mound rose from the blood pool, revealing a jade tablet.
Above the jade tablet, there are tadpole-like, winding shamanic characters.
"The ritual we requested to conceal the secrets of heaven has been completed."
Kumarajiva bowed again and respectfully offered the jade tablet: "The one that Buddha awaits... will eventually set foot on the land of the secret realm. You, carrying Buddha's possession, will head towards the snowy mountains... You must stop upon seeing the lotus, and follow your heart..."
"As the Buddha commanded."
Moroji immediately took the human skin thangka in his hand and, like a devout believer, prostrated himself with each step as he left the Wuxiang Temple.
He walked for an unknown amount of time until he came across a temple, which he discovered was the Lotus Temple, and immediately stopped.
While observing, Marajna saw another ugly servant monk who seemed to have a connection with the lotus throne "certificate" but was difficult to approach.
Upon witnessing this scene, the human-skin Thangka was slightly moved.
So he secretly helped the other party reach the lotus platform and ascend the lotus throne.
The Lotus Paradise was thus opened, and Moroji immediately hid inside, waiting for the destined person to appear!
Lianyan Mingduzi believed that it was by chance that he touched the lotus platform and was able to ascend to the throne.
Little did he know that without the King's secret assistance, even if he could indeed refine the 'Rank Certificate,' he wouldn't even be able to touch the edge of it.
Not only did Moroji not appear, but he also used the "washing away of worldly ties" to cleanse himself of all karma and silently lay dormant in the Lotus Blessed Land.
He believed in the Buddha's decree from the "Lord of the Ashtanga" and also in the grand sacrificial ceremony that had taken place before.
The Great Dharma King's sorcery has succeeded. Although the process is unknown, the result is... that person will definitely come to the Lotus Blessed Land!
Finally... today has arrived!
……
"We've been tricked?!"
When Fang Qing saw Moroji, he immediately felt a chill run down his spine, a sense of dread creeping up his spine.
"Damn it...where's my divination? Where's my 'Plum Blossom Divination'?"
"Is this what you call Xiao Ji?"
"Uh... does that mean I'm lucky enough to kill Morosh, who's at the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm?"
He was now essentially a Grand Master of the Purple Mansion, and seeing that only Morosh was lying in ambush there, he didn't immediately run away. Instead, he thought about whether he could kill this person first before running away, so as not to expose his secret of traveling between the two worlds.
"Wait... why am I hesitating again?"
"Witchcraft? Is witchcraft influencing me?"
"Witchcraft? Is witchcraft influencing me?"
"No! It's not just witchcraft! It also involves the Golden Core rank! The Golden Core doesn't count! Therefore, divination is useless! You've been misled!"
Fang Qing secretly calculated for a moment and was utterly horrified. He immediately disregarded everything and prepared to run away to train his Qi.
But at this moment, Morosh did nothing superfluous; he simply unfolded the 'human skin Thangka' in his hand!
The Secret Thangka is a type of painted image. It is made of square human skin, on which only a white skeletal figure is depicted!
His whole body was milky white, with one face and two arms, three round red eyes, and a crown of five skulls on his head, with ribbons tied in a fan shape and flowing silk around him.
With his right hand raised high like a human skull club, his left hand supporting a skull cup filled with blood, a golden vase slung across his chest, and his feet resting on a lotus and moon disc, he was in a dancing pose...
This is the true form of the only deity enshrined in the Wuxiang Temple of All Beings, the Buddha in his present life—the Lord of the Ashtanga Forest!
In an instant, Fang Qing's pupils turned pure white, and he felt as if every thought in his mind was about to be frozen...
"That...that is...the 'Lord of the Mortuary'?"
"That human skin thangka...is it a Buddhist treasure? A true treasure? A supreme treasure containing a trace of the 'female earth' gold element? Is it used against me?"
In that instant, Fang Qing understood many things.
This must be the awakening of that 'Master of the Ashtanga Forest' who orchestrated this conspiracy, coveting his own opportunity!
This lotus-filled blessed land is a trap and a concealment!
That incarnate Buddha could even devour him completely without anyone noticing...
Rumble!
Moroji's face was filled with great joy and liberation... Pieces of flesh fell off his body, revealing his stark white bones.
In no time, he turned into a skeleton.
Even his dantian and his supernatural powers were completely absorbed by the 'human skin Thangka' in his hand...
The other party was like a greedy devil, frantically squeezing everything out of him.
Moroji, however, found this delightful and was even moved by it: "My Buddha... I will become one with my Buddha..."
After uttering his last words, his Purple Mansion completely collapsed, and his supernatural powers were fully injected into the 'Master of the Corpse Forest, Pi Tangka'.
Rumble!
The original skeleton instantly expanded, its body reaching to the heavens and the earth. Its stark white spine soared straight into the sky like a giant tree. However, due to the height of the Lotus Blessed Land, it had to sit cross-legged to barely straighten its back.
At this moment, Fang Qing was like a speck of dust in the palm of this giant white skeleton...
It wasn't that he didn't want to activate the Dao-Born Pearl and leave immediately.
But the moment the 'Master of the Sitagarbha, Pi Thangka' appeared, even his thoughts were frozen...
Or rather, every single thought was buried.
In particular, the thought of "activating the Dao-generating Pearl" was also buried by the omnipresent radiance of the [Female Earth]...
The 'Lord of the Corpse Forest' had deep, black-hole-like eyes staring at the speck of dust in its hand, and raised its skeletal hand, as if wanting to throw Fang Qing into its eerie white maw to be chewed up...
Gazing at the ever-growing, hellish maw of white bones, Fang Qing felt as if he had inexplicably returned to the time of the 'Annihilation Tribulation'...
In that instant, his sea of consciousness shone brightly, and a 'thought' finally stirred, activating the 'Dao Sheng Pearl'!
In the blink of an eye, the Dao-Born Pearl spun rapidly...
Pure air rises, turbid air descends, clouds rise and mist gather...
The massive image of the main Buddha statue in the charnel ground, so enormous that even the Lotus Blessed Land could hardly contain it, froze in place, as if transformed into a sculpture.
In the midst of the ethereal silence, the sound of secret mantras and incantations arose once more:
"Om Chenbhadra Dibhadra!"
This is the "Secret Mantra of the Lord of the Mortuary"!
A point of white light suddenly appeared from the center of the eyebrows of the white bone image of the charnel ground master, like a ring, with light passing through it, cycling and repeating, carrying the charm of "formation, existence, decay and emptiness".
Splash!
Grave soil from an unknown source covered most of the lotus pond, and countless bats flew and circled among the lotus-filled blessed land...
Darkness descended, winding and twisting, as if it possessed its own life.
That is a tomb, death, witchcraft, sacrifice... it is countless ghosts and gods that have transformed into terrifying forms!
"Emptiness?"
Fang Qing felt her whole body trembling.
This was the instinct of the Purple Mansion True Man upon seeing the metal element; he felt that fate was playing a cruel joke on him.
Previously, I had also listened to a Dharma assembly on how to realize the "view of emptiness".
Now, a [Female Earth] Void has been thrown right in front of him!
That wisp of [female earth] emptiness needed no further explanation; it simply entered his brow.
If it is an unclaimed metal element, it is a huge treasure for the Purple Mansion True Person.
However, if the dominant element is metal, it represents terror and disaster for any individual in the Purple Palace.
"Possession by the Metal element?"
"So, He really wants to possess me?"
Faced with a "Buddha incarnate" at the Golden Core True Monarch level, Fang Qing was utterly powerless to resist.
But he did not resist. Instead, he let go of everything, allowing the [Female Earth] metal element to take over his entire body and then touch the [Dao Sheng Pearl]!
hum!
As if enraged, the 'Dao Sheng Pearl' began to spin rapidly...
