Reincarnated into a great tree, I will create an immortal kingdom of God

Chapter 341 Retracing the Buddha's Path

"I, a humble monk, come to see the Buddha."

Zen Master Xuji's eyes were filled with tears, and he knelt down on the bank of the Sui River outside the foggy restricted area.

Since the ascension of the ancient Buddha Faxian during the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty, he and the monks of the Vajra Temple have never seen the Buddha again.

Now, after five thousand years, he finally saw the Buddha again.

At this moment, Zen Master Xuji couldn't help but beat his chest and stamp his feet, crying loudly.

He regretted that he was late.

Moreover, he has always been prejudiced and hostile towards the Misty Forbidden Zone.

Because of the foggy restricted area, various major forces have exaggerated it into a forbidden area for demons.

This also led to the fact that he had never personally come to see the outside of the foggy restricted area.

If he had come earlier, he would have discovered that the Misty Forbidden Zone was not a forbidden area for demons, but a Buddhist temple.

hum!

On the bank of Sui River.

The fog suddenly surged.

A pair of pale eyes focused.

"Xuji, you are a high-ranking monk from the Vajra Temple. Why are you in this forbidden place for demons?"

Said in a calm voice.

Zen Master Xu Ji said: "No, this place is not a forbidden place for demons, but a place for Buddha to practice."

"The Buddha's ashram?"

The voice in the fog seemed to be smiling but not laughing.

"Exactly."

Zen Master Xu Ji said: "I saw the Mahavairocana Buddha light in the center of the foggy restricted area, which shows that you are the Buddha."

"You say I am a Buddha, but some say I am a demon, and some say I am a god."

The Voice of Mist asked: "Tell me, what am I?"

“Buddha.”

Zen Master Xu Ji was extremely determined.

"That's just your idea."

The Voice of the Mist said.

Zen Master Xu Ji said calmly: "Buddha has a thousand faces, he may be a god, an immortal, or a plant, but Buddha is Buddha, and he will not change because of any of his faces."

"what do you want?"

The Voice of the Mist said.

"I want to go to the netherworld."

Zen Master Xu Ji said: "It is said that the netherworld is the place where the Buddha attained enlightenment. I do not seek to comprehend Zen, but only want to follow the Buddha's footsteps and find my own path."

"The netherworld may not have what you want to find."

The Voice of the Mist said.

"Whether there is one or not, I want to fulfill my wish."

Zen Master Xuji said.

The Voice of the Mist did not respond.

The pale eyes in mid-air also disappeared.

The fog began to spread outward.

Zen Master Xuji hesitated for a moment.

Then he took a decisive step and walked into the fog.

The thing of mist.

Several monks who came with Zen Master Xuji all looked extremely nervous.

"You don't need to follow."

Zen Master Xuji said.

The monks really did not have the courage to move forward.

That is the netherworld, how many living people dare to go in easily?

Zen Master Xuji walked forward step by step.

Although he was walking in a foggy restricted area and in the ancient mountains, he felt that the fog around him was colder than normal fog.

Then he had a feeling of time and space fluctuation.

Before he knew it, he found that the world around him had changed.

It is still a forest similar to the ancient mountains, but the surrounding forests are lifeless.

Looking more closely, there are no mountains or forests around, but clearly mountains and jungles of bones.

This forest of bones was created by the Lord of Mandala.

It killed millions of lives.

In the past, the corpses of these creatures were placed in the Maha Space.

Now that there is a wider underworld, it will pour out all these bones from the Maha space.

Moreover, Su Mu has hunted tens of millions of creatures over the years.

The corpses of many living creatures are scattered in the foggy restricted area.

In order to make the Bone Forest more spectacular, the Lord of Mandragora moved all the bones in.

The corpses of tens of millions of living beings created such a spectacular forest of corpses at the entrance to this underworld.

Zen Master Xuji did not know this.

He used his mind to perceive and found that the mountains and forests of corpses around him were real, not illusions.

This made him look stern.

Passing through the forest of corpses, he came to a sea of ​​black flowers.

Looking around, densely packed black datura flowers emit a dark red glow.

This makes the sea of ​​flowers look like a sea of ​​fire.

"The Path of Fire."

Zen Master Xuji looked solemn.

He reached out and touched the flower next to him and found that the touch was real.

It's all true.

The path of fire seemed endless.

Zen Master Xuji was not in a hurry, but rather enjoyed this atmosphere.

He was slowly feeling everything in the netherworld.

The aura, rules and even principles here are different from those outside.

All these things prove that this is not an illusion, nor is it a small world.

It is impossible for a small world to have independent rules and principles.

Of course, he could also feel that this world was not as powerful as he had imagined.

After all, he was a person who had seen the ancient Buddha's teachings.

This world has no problem suppressing him, but if the ancient Buddha Faxian were here, he would definitely be able to destroy this world.

However, Zen Master Xuji did not despise this world because of this.

"Has the Netherworld Reincarnation World just revived?"

Zen Master Xu Ji felt that he had seen through the truth.

This is not surprising.

After all, the spiritual energy in other worlds has just been revived.

Then it is extremely normal that the Netherworld is in the early stages of revival and the rules of heaven and earth are still relatively weak.

But the road of fire has an end after all.

After an unknown amount of time, Zen Master Xuji arrived at the end of the Fire Road.

Here, he saw a mighty river.

The river water is pitch black.

There are countless ghosts struggling inside.

There is a bridge over the river.

A woman in black was standing by the bridge.

Zen Master Xuji's mind was slightly moved.

River Styx, beside the Naihe Bridge.

This reminded him of a legend.

If this is the case, then the identity of this woman in black is very important.

"I am Xuji, a humble monk. Nice to meet you, Senior."

Zen Master Xuji stepped forward and bowed.

In his opinion, if this woman in black was really that person, then even if the ancient Buddha Faxian was here, he would have to call her "senior".

The woman in black didn't answer.

"May I cross the bridge and have a look?"

Zen Master Xuji said.

The woman in black looked at him quietly.

Zen Master Xuji gritted his teeth and took the black-clothed woman's silence as a consent.

He walked towards the Naihe Bridge.

The woman in black did not stop him.

This made Zen Master Xu Ji feel relieved.

After stepping onto the Naihe Bridge, he felt his consciousness was greatly impacted.

It seemed as if there was a force erasing his memory.

Zen Master Xuji was in a state of awe.

The legend is indeed true.

Once you cross the Naihe Bridge, all your memories of this life will be washed away.

Fortunately, the underworld is not very strong nowadays, and the power of the Naihe Bridge is limited.

Relying on the Qi in his body, he was barely able to resist the power of the Naihe Bridge.

Finally, he came to the other side of Naihe Bridge.

At this moment, he could hardly hold on any longer.

If he stayed a moment longer, his memory might be erased.

Zen Master Xuji could only retreat.

But before retreating, he glanced at the other side of the Naihe Bridge.

This glance made his heart tremble violently.

Even after he left the Naihe Bridge and returned to the Fire Road, he still hadn't come to his senses.

Because on the other side of the Naihe Bridge is a dark wilderness.

There is no ancient city of the underworld as imagined, nor is there any Yama Palace.

Just some lonely ghosts.

Apart from this, there are no buildings or ghosts or gods.

The strong mental shock made Zen Master Xuji lose consciousness for a while.

When he came to his senses, he found himself back in the misty forest.

This is not the bone forest of the netherworld, but the real foggy forbidden area forest.

He returned to the world of the living.

"Master."

The disciples' voices rang in Zen Master Xuji's ears.

Xu Ji woke up from his trance.

There was still a deep sense of shock and confusion on his face.

"Master?"

The disciples looked at him in confusion.

"How long have I been gone?"

Zen Master Xuji said.

"Master, you'll only be gone for half a cup of tea."

The disciples said.

Zen Master Xu Ji's pupils shrank slightly, and then he felt relieved.

He spent more than half a cup of tea in the netherworld, not to mention other places, even just on the Naihe Bridge.

But considering that it is the underworld, there is nothing strange about it.

Then he remained silent and returned to Vajra Temple with his disciples.

"Master."

The high-level officials of Vajra Temple gathered in front of Zen Master Xuji, waiting for his answer.

"I can be sure that the Lord of Mist is the Buddha."

Zen Master Xu Ji said, "Moreover, in the restricted area of ​​fog, I have the permission of the Lord of fog to enter the netherworld."

These two pieces of news, one more important than the other, made the heads of the monks present buzz.

After a long time, a monk asked, "Master, what does the netherworld look like?"

Zen Master Xuji's eyes looked a little empty, and then he slowly said: "I have passed through the bone forest, the road of fire, and saw the Styx, the Naihe Bridge, and it is even possible that I have seen that existence."

That existence!

Although Zen Master Xuji did not explain it clearly, the monks also understood who Zen Master Xuji was talking about through the "River Styx" and the "Naihe Bridge".

For a moment, they were all moved.

"What about the other side of the Naihe Bridge?"

A monk couldn't wait to ask, "Is there a hell?"

Zen Master Xu Ji said, "There is no underworld."

"What do you mean?"

The monks were stunned.

"It means exactly what it says. There is nothing on the other side of the Naihe Bridge except some wandering souls."

Zen Master Xuji said.

"what."

"how so."

"Could this be a fake netherworld?"

The monks were in an uproar.

"This netherworld must be real."

Zen Master Xu Ji said: "When I was there, I felt independent rules and even independent time and space.

I clearly spent a long time in the netherworld, several days or even months, but when I returned to the world of the living, only half a cup of tea had passed."

All the monks gasped.

If this is the case, then this must be the underworld without a doubt.

After all, that is the supreme power of time.

Xu Ji didn't know.

Only at the moment when he entered the netherworld did Su Mu use the power of time to allow him to enter the netherworld unknowingly.

After that, it was purely the influence of the Netherworld Reincarnation itself on him.

"If that's the case, then there must be other reasons why the Netherworld is like this."

"I've heard a saying a long time ago that the Netherworld's reincarnation collapsed during the catastrophe. Now it seems to be true."

"Hiss, if that's the case, then the Misty Forbidden Zone is even more terrifying. What kind of means is this to be able to recreate the cycle of the netherworld?"

The monks were extremely shocked.

"Just as you thought, this trip to the Misty Forbidden Zone and the Netherworld also let me know the future path of my Vajra Temple."

Zen Master Xuji said.

The monks looked at him in confusion.

"The netherworld is the place where the Buddha attained enlightenment."

Zen Master Xu Ji said: "Now that the Netherworld reincarnation has reappeared and is in its infancy, why can't we, the younger generation of Buddhist disciples, follow the path of the Buddha again?"
