Chapter 84 The Way of Time

Closing the page, Tang Zixi sighed softly.

Putting the Secret History of Ten Thousand Buddhas back on the bookshelf, Tang Zixi couldn't hide the disappointment in her heart.

The Great Buddha Kingdom of Western Heaven has many Buddhist scriptures but few history books. There are not many books recording history. Among these limited history books, there are still some that record history incidentally for the purpose of preaching and preaching.

It is not easy to sort out the deeds about the Nine Difficulties from this book. Often, you can only find one or two sentences about the Nine Difficulties after reading the entire book. Sometimes not even a sentence or two.

The Grand Buddha Kingdom of the West does not have any problems with falsehoods and does not distort the facts. However, avoiding the important and ignoring historical facts and only focusing on the words of the Buddha still caused great trouble for Tang Zixi's investigation.

After reading nearly a thousand and a half unhistorical history books, Tang Zixi is basically familiar with the history of the Great Buddha Kingdom of the West, but unfortunately her understanding of the Nine Difficulties is still limited.

It was still like this today. She had read all the books on the bookshelf, but the information she could find was really limited.

After all, it is thousands of years apart in history, so it is not easy to stay.

Putting down the book, Tang Zixi stepped out of the monastery.

I had nothing to do, so I just strolled around the Qianbei Temple. I have been here for many days, but I have never really seen this thousand-year-old temple.

After leaving the monastery and walking forward along the stone road, there is the precepts hall, and further ahead is the sutra room, where monks lecture on sutras and Zen. As Tang Zixi walked along, there were monks on the road. They all saluted Tang Zixi and said hello to Miss Tang. Tang Zixi was also familiar with these monks, and they all smiled and nodded in greeting.

Tang Zixi came to the sutra room and saw a young novice monk sitting in the sutra room, shaking his head and chanting something, but it was the young monk Jingxin who received her that day.

The young monk was not on duty, and was chanting sutras in the sutra room at the moment. Seeing that he was reciting plausibly, Tang Zixi noticed that the young monk was simply absent-minded, and was secretly looking out while reciting sutras. Perhaps in his eyes, sweeping the floor is much more interesting than chanting sutras.

Seeing Tang Zixi coming over, the young monk's eyes lit up and he stopped chanting sutras. He just winked at Tang Zixi.

Tang Zixi saw that he looked interesting, so she came over and said with a smile: "Little monk, if you don't recite sutras and worship the Buddha properly, but you are here with your own thoughts, aren't you afraid that the Buddha will blame you?"

Jingxin then smiled and said: "Buddha is so compassionate, how can he care about me? Sister, why are you out today?"

Tang Zixi replied: "I read too many books.

Come out for some air. "

Jingxin then smiled: "I'm afraid I can't find any valuable clues about the Nine Difficulties, so I'll be disappointed, right?"

Tang Zixi hummed: "How did you know I couldn't find it? Is it possible that you have some secrets in the temple that you don't dare to see people, and you deliberately hid all the information about the Nine Dilemmas?"

Jing's heart was beating fast: "Don't accuse people casually. How could we, Qianbei Temple, do such a thing? It's just that people who came here in the past always returned without success. We have seen a lot, so we naturally know. What happened back then , it is a secret to begin with, even those who have experienced it personally, it is difficult to tell, let alone us descendants, there are no careful records in the classics, no matter how you check, you will never find anything."

After hearing this, Tang Zixi thought that what he said was reasonable, and sighed: "You are right, I was the one who said something reckless."

Jingxin smiled happily: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I don't care about the female prostitute."

This little monk is not very capable, but his tone is quite impressive.

Tang Zixi didn't pay attention to him. While talking, she had already entered the sutra room. She saw that the sutra room was simple and solemn, solemn and solemn, with a distant atmosphere.

Tang Zixi said casually: "This sutra room looks very old."

"That's natural." Jingxin replied: "This sutra room has a history of more than 10,000 years. Qianbei Temple has experienced three fires, the aftermath of two powerful battles, and was destroyed several times. Rebuilding. Only this ancient sutra room has always existed and has never been destroyed."

"Oh?" Tang Zixi was slightly surprised: "Why is this?"

Jing Xin hesitated.

He looked around to make sure there was no one there, and then waved to Tang Zixi, telling her to come over.

Tang Zixi frowned slightly, and the palm of her hand lit up, emitting a little light and spreading quietly. Tang Zixi said: "Now you can speak as you like. Under my silence spell, no sound will be heard."

Seeing that Yiqin Fangze's trick failed, Jingxin sighed in his heart and could only say: "It's nothing. Some people say that this is the place where Nine Difficulties enlightened themselves, so they were blessed by Nine Difficulties."

"The most difficult place for enlightenment?" Tang Zixi's eyes suddenly brightened: "What kind of enlightenment?"

"The devil's way!" Jingxin replied: "Some powerful people say that it was in this sutra room that Jiu Di attained enlightenment and became a devil."

"The devil's path? The devil is also the path?" Tang Zixi was surprised.

Jingxin wondered: "Why can't the devil be the Tao? There are twelve great avenues and tens of thousands of small ways in the world. Every existence has its own reason. If there is a reason, there is a way. In the Hongmeng Demon Realm, such a huge existence should naturally have its own way. The Tao is."

Tang Zixi paused.

This was the first time she had heard of this statement.

After thinking for a while, she asked: "Why haven't I seen this statement in history books?"

Jingxin hesitated for a while before replying: "This is the legend of our Great Buddha Kingdom in the West. It has no solid evidence and will not be recorded in history books."

"Does this legend believe that Nine Difficulties did not become a demon at that time, but became a Taoist?"

"Yes!" Jingxin nodded seriously.

Tang Zixi sneered: "Then what's the difference between becoming a demon and becoming a demon?"

Jingxin scratched his scalp and said, "How could I know such a thing? Don't ask me."

When Tang Zixi asked him, she couldn't find out why, so she had no choice but to give up.

Just looking at the sutra room again, I couldn't help but picture a monk holding sutras and reciting them here.

Is this where Jiu Nan recited Buddhist sutras until he became a demon?

And this sutra room has remained standing despite the ups and downs in the following ten thousand years?

Tang Zixi's eyes gradually glowed.

She took out a Buddhist scripture from the Buddhist hall and found a seat to sit down.

Jingxin was surprised: "What are you doing?"

"I want to study the Buddhist scriptures to see if I have any chance with the Buddha."

Jingxin knew that she was telling the truth and understood her meaning. He shook his head and said, "It's useless for you to do this. It was God's will that the Nine Difficulties Demon Monk fell into the devil's path. It is not something that we mortals can find out."

Tang Zixi replied: "I am not a mortal, I am an immortal cultivator."

Jingxin said seriously: "Under the way of heaven, everyone is a mortal."

Tang Zixi just pretended not to hear it.

In the following days, Tang Zixi moved the place where she read, and moved directly from the monastery to the sutra room.

This sutra room is not the place where Tang Zixi stayed before. Instead, there are many monks coming and going to chant sutras. Whenever he goes in and out, he sees a girl reading sutras here. She is a good-looking girl. It is inevitable that she will be distracted and distract everyone in the temple. The monk had no intention of worshiping the Buddha. While chanting the Buddha's name every day, he was thinking about a pretty girl, and his eyes would glance at that beauty from time to time.

There were eminent monks in the temple who knew that this was inappropriate and deliberately advised Tang Zixi to find another place and leave.

But after Tang Zixi knew that this place was related to the Nine Dilemmas, how could she still be willing to leave.

Although Qianbei Temple is an ancient temple that has existed for thousands of years, it does not rely on martial arts. The important thing is that martial arts cannot do anything to Tang Zixi - Tang Zixi is already at the peak of his out-of-body experience, and he has a family background and is gifted with the way of time. Even an ordinary earthly immortal can come here. There may not be anything he can do to get her.

For such a powerful person, he just wants to use the sutra room to read sutras and "worship the Buddha wholeheartedly." In a world where strength determines status, it really cannot be considered too much.

Therefore, the eminent monks of Qianbei Temple should hold their noses and endure it. If I can’t drive you away, Tang Zixi, why don’t I drive away my own disciples?

It didn't take long for this sutra room to be reserved exclusively for Tang Zixi.

The other monks did not dare to come, but the little novice monk Jingxin still came over to see her and talk to Tang Zixi.

Tang Zixi didn't care, but took the opportunity to learn more about the Buddhist country.

In this way, two months passed in the blink of an eye. Tang Zixi read a lot of Buddhist scriptures, but unfortunately she still couldn't find any clues related to the Nine Difficulties, and she felt very disappointed.

She was thinking about the war that took place in the giant spirit world, and she didn't know what the current situation was there. She wanted to go back like this, but she was unwilling to fail to bring any valuable news to her father.

Today, when I was wandering, I saw Jingxin coming over in a sneaky way, waving to Tang Zixi as he came.

Tang Zixi saw his mysterious whereabouts and knew what he meant, so she cast a silence spell and asked, "What are you doing?"

Jingxin took out an old and yellowed booklet from his cassock and said, "Here you go."

"This is..." Tang Zixi took it and saw it was a book called "Buddha's Questions".

Buddha's Questions is a classic circulated by Buddhism. It tells the story of Buddha's questions and answers with his disciples.

Monks study Buddhism, pay homage to the Buddha, respect the Buddha, and regard the principles of Buddhism as the ultimate principle. Therefore, they become Buddhists, establish Buddhas, study the Buddha's words, and practice the Buddha's Dharma. Buddha's questions are Buddha's words, which are said to contain countless principles, so monks study them tirelessly.

Buddha asked Tang Zixi who had also read it. At this moment, Jingxin showed him this book, but he didn't know what it meant.

Jing Xin secretly said, "This is the book that Jiu Nan has read."

"The one that Jiu Nan has read?" Tang Zixi's heart moved, but she didn't expect that Qianbei Temple still retained this scripture.

After receiving the scripture, Tang Zixi saw that the scripture was indeed very old. In order to preserve it, a layer of oil sealing technique was even applied to the scripture, which was equivalent to applying a layer of oil film on the paper to prevent it from being corroded by time.

At this moment, Tang Zixi got the book and looked through it one by one.

The content in the book is no different from other Buddhist questions. The yellowed handwriting is written with questions and answers between the Buddha and his disciples. If you feel it carefully, you will find that they are full of wisdom in life and are worthy of the powerful words.

It's a pity that no matter how you look at it, this is still just a Buddhist scripture. No matter how much wisdom it contains, it can't satisfy Tang Zixi's needs.

At the end of the page, Tang Zixi wanted to tear the book open and see if there were any secrets hidden in the pages like the stories her father once told her. Perhaps because of something on his mind, Tang Zixi used a little more force and actually tore a page with a brush.

"Oops!" Jing Xin yelled, "I stole this from the hosting room, why did you break it..."

His tone was anxious, but he was almost crying.

Tang Zixi also felt embarrassed and hurriedly comforted him: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, I will repair it for you right now."

"How to repair it? A spell has been cast on it, and it is affected by it. The method of returning to the source cannot be used on it."

"It's okay." Tang Zixi smiled and waved her hand. A ray of light shone on the Buddhist book, and the page that had just fallen returned to the book.

"This is..." Jingxin opened her mouth in shock.

"The Way of Time." Tang Zixi replied with a smile.

The Tao of Time that Shi Wunian once used reappeared in Tang Zixi's hands at this moment, but the target of the effect was the object with the magic applied to it. It was countless times more sophisticated than Shi Wunian. Only those who have truly entered the Tao of Time can Even the effects of the spell can be fully restored without affecting the slightest bit.

That's a real step back in time.

At the moment when the Buddhist scriptures were restored, the Buddhist scriptures emitted a faint light.

Tang Zixi's eyes blurred, and another scene appeared in front of her.
