Chapter 627 My Realm is Higher Than His
Chapter 627 My Realm is Higher Than His
Many years ago, Wen Rui met a Western Buddhist disciple who was good at chanting the Acalanatha mantra. The characteristic of this mantra is that one cannot move during the casting of the mantra, and the protection range is limited to within three feet around the body.
During the chanting of the Acalanatha mantra, the condensed golden bell phantom can provide defense comparable to that of a diamond. As long as the magic power is not completely consumed, the defense will not weaken.
Even if an immortal cultivator attacks with all his might, he cannot break the shield with one strike. He needs to slowly wear down the caster of the spell, and when his magic power is exhausted, the shield will collapse without any attack.
Back then, Wen Rui broke this almost absolute defensive spell with the help of the Soul-Eating Spider, an alien insect purchased from the Pansi Cave through a trade.
The one he was dealing with was a Zen master at the Nascent Soul stage, so it didn't take much time at all to easily drain his magic power.
When casting the Acalanatha mantra, the caster basically loses the ability to move and must concentrate on maintaining the shield, with no room for counterattack or escape. It is a mantra that is only used when holding out and waiting for help.
Kong Xuan could crush all the Yakshas to death with just one finger, but that would expose his identity. If he wanted to escape danger and continue to hide his strength, the best way would be to use this spell which did not require a very high level of skill but could resist the attacks of immortal-level demons.
The Yaksha leader swung his trident like crazy and stabbed and smashed it, causing the golden bell phantom to splash with golden light. The Yakshas around him also swarmed forward, intending to work together to attack the shield and consume the magic power of the Buddhist eagle.
It was not known whether Kong Xuan did it on purpose, but he cast the Acalanatha mantra, which only covered Li Lan'er and himself. Wen Rui and Li Liu'er were still outside the golden bell.
Obviously, Kong Xuan used his own method to retaliate against Wen Rui, pushing the responsibility of protecting Li Liuer to Wen Rui and forcing him to show his true abilities.
Seeing that the Yakshas were approaching, Li Liuer was not as brave as Li Laner. She was suddenly panicked and subconsciously shrank her body to hide behind the little monkey.
She hugged Wen Rui tightly from behind, like a child hugging a doll when scared, and kept muttering: "I want to die, I want to die, I want to die, I don't want to die!"
Several tridents stabbed at them at the same time. When the Yakshas rushed past the two of them, they all wanted to kill them with a single halberd to prevent future trouble.
The identical phantom of the golden bell blocked all the stabbing spears. Wen Rui put on the face of a wretched water monkey and put on a solemn expression. He didn't even make the proper hand seals. He just held one hand as if picking a flower and raised the other hand to point to the sky.
"Amitabha Buddha, Prajnaparamita, I am the only one in heaven and on earth, Hallelujah, Wai Bi Babu..."
Even the chanting of Buddhist mantras is just nonsense, but the effect produced is the same as that of the Acalanatha mantra.
Kong Xuan's countermeasures inspired Wen Rui a lot. It was not easy for him to show off his abilities. Technologies such as nanorobots, Iron Man armor, Ultron robots, strong interaction force shields, gravity units, tractor beams, etc. were all military weapons technologies. If he rashly showed them out as a civilian businessman, it would be illegal in the first place.
There were two female police officers at the scene. Even if they used military technology to save their lives, they would definitely be questioned afterwards.
Seeing that they are willing to sacrifice their lives to uphold their principles, I'm afraid they can't be fooled by sweet words.
Kong Xuan learned some magical powers while being an auditor at Mount Lingshan. Wen Rui, as a correspondence student, also did not waste hundreds of tons of gold sand and put in more effort in studying Buddhist scriptures than Kong Xuan.
He even has his own mandala, which is the virtual Possa world of the new energy center matrix. Hundreds of thousands of sinful spirits are imprisoned in the mandala, robbing the luck of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. The power of vows he obtains every day is much more than that of some unknown Bodhisattvas. The merits and powers of vows obtained by the incense and worship of Emperor Jie Tian are comparable to those of Buddha.
These wishes, when transformed into magical powers, can be used to cast spells using the Western teachings, and their power is no less than that of genuine Western disciples. The clanging sounds continued, and the two golden bells remained motionless. A group of fierce Yakshas swung their tridents until they were smoking, but they didn't even make a crack.
"I... I'm not dead? Hey, you also practice Buddhism?"
The girl who was hugging Wen Rui came to her senses and looked at the golden bell that protected her in disbelief. She said, "I heard that the higher the level of Western believers, the less interested they are in women. You are obviously a little pervert, so how can you use such a powerful Buddhist spell?"
"You don't understand, right? When your meditation level reaches a certain level, you don't have to care about these details."
Wen Rui pretended to be profound and said: "As the saying goes, wine and meat pass through the intestines, but the Buddha remains in the heart. I may seem lustful, but I am actually Wukong. I am intimate with you because I have a compassionate heart to save you. My soul is noble."
"Is this true? I felt a little pain from your little claws just now. This is definitely not something a good monkey would do..."
The merman girl was skeptical. She suddenly realized something was wrong and asked quickly, "Why don't you chant the spell? Mr. Diao over there is chanting the sutra all the time. Is that okay?"
Normally, when performing the mantra of Acalanatha, one must recite the "Sūtra of the Splendor of the Acalanatha Buddha's Land" devoutly, so as to borrow the Dharma from the Acalanatha Tathagata, and then borrow the projection of the Vajra Bell's incarnation.
The spell performed by Kong Xuan is the correct way to perform the Acalanatha Mantra.
What Wen Rui performed was a Jiejiao transformation. With an Arhat relic as the core, he created a cyber Buddhist chanting machine. He then compressed the audio of the "Acalanatha Sutra" and played it quickly in the form of high-frequency sound waves. He could chant dozens of times in one second, and the frequency was beyond the range of biological hearing.
The principle of this thing is similar to the prayer wheel driven by an electric motor. It greatly improves the efficiency of mana output and saves the trouble of reciting scriptures aloud.
The most important thing is that if the frequency of the scriptures is very high, as long as you master the time intervals, you can move between the gaps between each round of chanting, without having to concentrate on maintaining a pious state of chanting.
In terms of the intuitive effect, the Acalanatha Mantra can be movable, can hold up a shield while moving, and can also cast other spells at will. It can be called an epic upgrade.
"This is because my Buddhist cultivation level is higher than his. That stupid eagle has become mentally retarded in his Buddhist cultivation. He really takes the precepts seriously and lives in fear and cowardice."
Wen Rui took the opportunity to sarcastically say: "Practicing Buddhism is to cultivate oneself and seek great liberation. If you can't even look directly into your own heart and live out your true self, how can you hide your true self?"
Kong Xuan was standing by and heard it all. Seeing the dead monkey slandering him blatantly, he felt angry but helpless.
He learned the old version of the Acalanatha Mantra, which required him to remain motionless while performing it. However, he could not act recklessly like Wen Rui, who could brag and curse while performing the mantra.
After being angry, Kong Xuan couldn't help but doubt himself. From a practical point of view, Wen Rui's Buddhism was indeed more profound than his, and he could use the Buddhist supernatural powers to a level that he could not do.
Maybe it was a crooked way (I guessed right), but what if it was really as he said, that I didn’t have a thorough understanding of Western religious teachings?
There is a girl who likes me and whom I admire very much right next to me, but I dare not express my feelings. How can this be called enlightenment and liberation? Isn't it just like a wild beast trapped in a fence, with worries in its heart and unable to let go of its obsessions?
That monkey lives an extremely carefree life, without any shame or integrity. Isn't this a higher state of life?
