Chapter 219: Two Days and Seven Passes(1/2)
In the clouds, Zhang Jiuling groped slowly.
Suddenly, clouds rolled, opening a clearing in front of you, and an ancient Zen temple appeared in front of Zhang Jiuling.
The Zen temple has pagodas, Buddha statues, and vermilion red gates.
"All this should be an illusion, but this illusion is so real."
Zhang Jiuling walked forward, touched the vermilion gate of the Zen temple, and said softly.
When the last time the wound he bitten disappeared instantly after passing the first level, he had already realized that he might have entered a illusion.
In other words, the illusion was fabricated out of thin air by the man on Taibai Mountain.
Rather than saying that they are passing the level, they can get out of the level before them as long as they meet the expectations of the person on Taibai Mountain.
Before Zhang Jiuling walked slowly to the Zen temple, he gently pushed open the door and walked into the Zen temple.
The Zen temple is empty and has an extremely quiet atmosphere.
Zhang Jiuling strolls throughout the quiet Zen temple.
Looking around, there is a Buddhist temple dedicated to worshiping Buddha statues. On the left is the monk's room where monks live, but there is not a single person at this moment.
On the right is a pagoda.
After walking around the entire Zen temple, Zhang Jiuling began to think about the way out of this level.
"No one seems to have to find a way out here."
There is no exit door around the Zen temple, nor any way to get around.
Zhang Jiuling simply stopped looking for it.
According to his speculation, everything around him is an illusion. Since it is an illusion, if you don’t pass the level, you will probably not be able to get out of it no matter what.
"The Zen temple is so big, how can you realize it?"
Zhang Jiuling looked at the sunshine shining in the middle of the sky, and raised his head and reached out to cover the scorching sun.
“Have even time changed?”
When Zhang Jiuling walked into the fog before, it should be almost time for sunset.
But now it's noon.
"The temperature feels a little bit lower than when I came in."
"The only thing hesitant is above the pagoda."
Just as Zhang Jiuling was observing the sunset, a drop of water suddenly fell from Zhang Jiuling.
But what is strange is that the direction of water falling is not from top to bottom, but from left to right.
The water droplets passed in front of Zhang Jiuling and fell on the wall of the Zen Temple in the distance.
"This is?"
Zhang Jiuling stepped forward, but found a huge water tank hidden under the grass in front of him.
But this water tank is incompatible with a normal water tank.
It stands on the side and on the wall.
And the drop of water dripping from the side just now fell into the water tank.
Zhang Jiuling squatted down, but found that all the water in the water tank was receiving gravity from left to right.
"strangeness!"
Is there any tip for such a strange water tank?
Zhang Jiuling was a little confused.
After writing down this extraordinary thing, he walked into the Buddha Hall again, where the Buddhist three-generation Buddha stood.
That is, the Buddha of the past, the Buddha of the present, and the Buddha of the future.
"In the past, the Buddha's lamp is burning the lamp, the present Buddha's Tathagata Buddha, the future Buddha's Maitreya Buddha, and the Buddha's three-time Buddha are so magnificent, it seems that it can be emphasized."
"Does the Buddha of the Three Ages have any intention?"
Zhang Jiuling was a little confused.
Let’s look at the monk’s room. There are strange things in the Buddhist temple, the Zen temple, and there should be strange things in the monk’s room and the pagoda.
Zhang Jiuling walked into the monk's room and finally found a Buddhist scripture on a bed in the monk's room.
He opened the Buddhist scriptures, and there were only two sentences on the Buddhist scriptures. One sentence came from the Diamond Sutra: "All conditioned dharmas are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows, like dew and lightning. You should make such observations."
Another sentence comes from the "Avatamsaka Sutra": "Know all conditioned laws as they are true, false and deceitful, falsely dwell for a moment, deceive mortals."
"What does this mean to suggest that I am a illusion?"
"But, I already knew when I came in."
"Go to the pagoda again."
Zhang Jiuling walked under the tower with big strides.
Walking under the tower, Zhang Jiuling saw a few big words on the entrance gate: The treasure of entering the tower can be obtained at this time from the top of the tower.
"Tower top?"
Zhang Jiuling looked at the tower, then looked at the reflection of the pagoda under his feet.
Turning around and walking to the reflection of the spire of the tower, Zhang Jiuling found a box at the reflection of the spire of the tower.
He opened the box and there was a key inside, just paired with the big golden lock.
He opened the gate of the pagoda and walked in. The pagoda was nine floors high. It is said that when Sakyamuni was born, he pointed his left hand at the sky and his right hand at the earth.
It means that I am the only one in heaven and earth.
Going straight to the highest level, Zhang Jiuling did not find any hint here.
"No, was it because I was looking for the wrong one?"
Zhang Jiuling was a little confused, so he turned over the entire pagoda again.
"Are still not, it seems that this pagoda has different uses."
Zhang Jiuling returned to the Zen temple and walked to the water tank in the Zen temple.
"The Buddha of the Three Worlds refers to time and space. Is there anything strange about time and space?"
"What do those two Buddhist scriptures mean?"
"The illusion? It's like a dream and an illusion, true and false, false and true?"
"From this perspective, it should be said that there are real and false in this Zen temple. Isn't it all my illusion?"
Zhang Jiuling walked to the water tank and stepped on it in the water tank with his body upside down.
In an instant, Zhang Jiuling felt his center of gravity change instantly.
The gravity towards the ground turned to the gravity towards the walls of the Zen temple.
"This is?"
Zhang Jiuling squatted in the water tank, watching the angles in the world change instantly.
"From this perspective, is it a illusion change?"
Zhang Jiuling suddenly had an imaginary thought in his mind.
"Ma Weiba once said that the so-called enlightenment is like Zhuangzi's method of teasing money in "Qiwu Lun", as long as he knows why, then if the three-time Buddha prompts in the Buddhist temple are time and space, and the prompts in the monk's room are real and false environments, then my angle at this time is likely to be the real angle in reality."
"Then the gravity is facing down."
"If I face down here, the way out should be on this plane."
Zhang Jiuling looked around and suddenly realized that the angle of the pagoda was so special in his field of vision.
“It happens to be on this plane.”
"Go up and try it?"
Zhang Jiuling crawled out of the water tank and hurriedly ran to the pagoda, all the way to the ninth floor of the pagoda.
"No, not high enough."
Zhang Jiuling crawled out of the pagoda's paging and then climbed towards the top of the tower.
He found that there was a rope just next to the top of the tower.
"It should be true."
"The angle of this Zen temple is not on my way forward, because the entire time and space should be inverted, not upward, not downward, and four directions are not four directions. The direction of the sun before should be the real direction of the sun. This is the only two real thing I saw in the illusion. Another point is the water tank. The water tank points out the direction of gravity, and the sun points out the direction of my previous sunset."
"This is a game of finding a way out in the middle of a lost path, and enlightenment is to realize the truth and falsehood of this time and space."
"Then, here is it next."
Zhang Jiuling stood on the pagoda and looked up at the endless sky.
According to speculation, the direction towards the sky in this time and space should be the direction he was moving forward in Taibai Mountain before.
"Linglong Pagoda Tower Linglong, the highest level of Linglong Pagoda, let's see if you can let me escape."
