Chapter 553 Reincarnation Nine Prints
Li Yundong shouted, and he immediately rushed out like a clap of thunder. But as soon as he rushed out, he saw Liu Xia rubbing her ankle outside and sitting on the ground with a pained expression. Behind her was a young boy with a contorted face who was shouting, "Get up. Are you going to kill me!? Get up!"
The girl next to the boy wanted to help him up, but when she saw Li Yundong rushing out with a fierce expression, she was immediately shocked and took a step back like a frightened deer.
Liu Xia saw Li Yundong at first glance and immediately squeezed out a smile. She waved at him and said, "Hey! We meet again!"
Li Yundong was stunned. "Why are you here?"
Liu Xia was embarra.s.sed to say what had happened just now. Trying to peek at the situation inside the copper hall, she had fallen down. Fortunately, there had been a follower underneath her, otherwise, she would have hit the floor!
For a while, her eyes were darting around. But fortunately, she was wearing sungla.s.ses, so no one could see her panic. She quickly came up with a lie, pulled the boy next to her, and said, "I am his tour guide. I brought him here. We just happened to meet you again."
Li Yundong looked at the boy and found that he was the one who had ridiculed him just now. He couldn"t help frowning slightly and asked, "Him? Are you his tour guide?"
Liu Xia secretly stretched out her hand and squeezed the boy"s arm. This boy was smart enough to discard his old hatred with Liu Xia and said quickly, "Yes, yes, she is the tour guide I invited! Any problems?"
Li Yundong didn"t see Liu Xia"s little actions, but he saw the change in the boy"s expression. He said with a faint smile, "Better to make friends than enemies!"
Liu Xia realized that Li Yundong wouldn"t pursue the matter further. She quickly stood up, rubbed her ankles, and smiled stiffly, "That"s right. No one can go against money!"
The boy also got up and said, "What"s wrong? Are you not convinced? You"re the only one who can come here? I can"t?"
Li Yundong glanced at him and pa.s.sed over his words. He turned his head and walked out of the copper hall. "Master, what do you think?"
Master Erdeni glanced at them with a smile, not speaking. Liu Xia felt excited. She asked with a watchful, reverent tone, "Excuse me, are you Master Erdeni?"
He glanced at Liu Xia with a smile, nodded slightly, and said, "Yes!"
Liu Xia was excited and shouted, "Wow, I"ve seen the real Buddha, oh my G.o.d!" Then she asked cautiously, "Well... Master Erhard, may I take a photo with you?"
Master Erdeni laughed and put his palms together, then said, "Since we"re destined to meet each other, why not?"
Liu Xia had never expected that the Master Erdeni, who enjoyed a high position in the hearts of the Tibetan people, would be amiable and easy to approach. She immediately took out her cellphone and timidly approached him. She put on an unusual pose that made use of her selfie-taking skills, holding her phone high in front of her and trying to prepare herself to take pictures.
Li Yundong didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He couldn"t help saying, "Hey, please be more professional, okay? If you don"t have an SLR camera, at least you can get a camera. You"re a fool. If you only have a cellphone, what"s this unconventional pose for? If you make this pose, won"t the selfie be weird? You should let others take a great photo for you! Can you figure out the person who took a photo with you?"
Liu Xia let out a soft gasp and looked at the master with some embarra.s.sment. "Master, I"m really sorry. I only have this device..." Then, she glared at Li Yundong angrily. "I"m not going to travel. Why would I bring a camera with me?"
The boy next to them came to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream. He murmured subconsciously, "Is this Living Buddha? No, it doesn"t look like him! I haven"t seen anyone apart from us!"
Then, he burst into laughter. "That"s right. A real Buddha wouldn"t have more heads or arms than you guys! He"s just an ordinary person."
Li Yundong also said with a smile, "Buddha said that Buddha is an experienced person, and people are future Buddhas! But that"s all."
He glanced at Li Yundong with appreciation, put his palms together devoutly, and said to him, "Amitabha!"
Li Yundong also smiled and bowed back. The boy next to him was stunned and said, "Am I back in ancient times? Can you stop being so wordy? It"s so strange!"
Hearing his rude words, Liu Xia could not help but glare at him. She kicked him and said, "Hey, hurry up and bring me your camera. Take a picture!"
This boy came to his senses. He quickly asked his partner, who had been dumbfounded for a long time, to take out a small camera. Then he cheekily approached Master Erdeni and shouted to his partner, "Hey, help us take a few pictures!"
As if awakening from a dream, she took out a camera and got ready to take photos for them.
At this time, Master Erdeni turned his head and said to Li Yundong, "Tianzun, don"t you want to take a photo with me?"
Before Li Yundong had time to speak, he heard the boy muttering in a low voice, "What"s the point of taking photos with him?"
Master Erdeni immediately became angry. He took a step back and said in a low voice, "Impudent! How dare you speak to the Tianzun in such a manner! Do you know who he is?!"
Li Yundong didn"t want others to know his true ident.i.ty, so he cut in with a smile, "I don"t need this. Great Master, you can do it yourself."
Liu Xia saw that the boy had said something wrong again. She glared at him angrily, then smiled and said, "Great Master, the child is immature. Don"t be angry."
"If he won"t respect the Tianzun, then I won"t take a photo with him!" Master Erdeni said solemnly.
The boy"s face suddenly flushed, and he stood there silently. Liu Xia saw that the atmosphere had gone stiff and awkward. She squinted at the girl and said, "Why are you still in a daze? Take a photo now!"
Regardless of whether Master Erdeni agreed or not, the girl immediately picked up the camera and took a picture. With a snap, she took a picture of Liu Xia, the stiff-faced Master Erdeni, and the embarra.s.sed and annoyed little boy, as well as Li Yundong.
Then, she cheered and pulled the boy who was standing beside her and ran outside. As she ran, she turned back and said to Li Yundong, "Hey, let"s have dinner together next time. I still have something to do now, so I"ll go first!"
Seeing her running away, Li Yundong secretly laughed and shook his head. Master Erdeni could not help sighing. "Tianzun, I never thought that your cultivation would be so great at such a young age. It"s rare for you not to get angry like this!"
Li Yundong laughed and said, "In fact, you don"t have to argue with them like that. The world is full of this kind of person. If you argue with them every time, won"t you just end up exhausted?"
Master Erdeni shook his head and said, "I"m not concerned, I"m just sighing with emotion. Although the Hans in the Central Plains are full of hidden talents and heroes. It"s a pity that they lack faith and don"t understand the importance of being reverent. It"s going to be a big problem! Just now, I saw that he was a fated person, so I agreed to take a photo with him, but I hadn"t expected that he wouldn"t respect the true Spirit. He"s so stupid and disdainful. That"s why I sigh."
Li Yundong was unwilling to discuss this with him, so he changed the topic and said, "By the way, Great Master, you just said that the Mahamudra is divided into nine levels. May I ask what they are? Can you teach me carefully?"
Master Erdeni didn"t continue to delve into the issue either. He laughed and said, "Of course. However, let"s go back to the main hall first."
Then, they were on the way back to the Hall of Copper Sound.
He pointed at a row of Amitabha statues and said, "Tianzun, please take a look. Here are the nine Mahamudra of the Reincarnation Nine Prints. Please look at them carefully."
Li Yundong looked at them and saw the three statues lined up from left to right. The three Amitabha statues had two hands folded and three fingers stretched over their thighs. The first one"s right hand was placed under their left, and the next had two hands on its chest, the two palms juxtaposed. The last one had its palm outward, right hand up, left hand down.
Standing to one side, Master Erdeni explained, "The first three Mahamudra are Upper Level Prints, also known as the Mituo Prints; the three in the middle are Medium Level Prints, also known as Shuofa Prints; the last three are Low Level Prints, also known as Wuwei Prints!"
Li Yundong nodded. He looked at the Buddhist statue carefully and found that there was a slight difference between the three kinds of Upper Level Prints. The upper print was the thumb and tip of the index finger; the medium print was the thumb and the middle finger was the fingertip; the low print was the thumb and ring finger. Li Yundong asked curiously, "Are these three skills different?"
He nodded and said, "That"s right. The skills of the first three Mahamudra are different. They are Upper Grade Life Seals, Medium Grade Life Seals, and Lower Grade Life Seals!"
Li Yundong looked at the other Buddha statues and said, "The others should be middle-upper cla.s.s, middle-middle cla.s.s, low-upper cla.s.s, low-middle cla.s.s, low-low cla.s.s, and the other nine-cla.s.s seals?"
Master Erdeni laughed. "That"s right!"
Li Yundong remembered the method of pinching these Mahamudra in his mind and asked, "What"s the use of this Mahamudra kung fu?"
Master Erdeni smiled and said mysteriously, "Tianzun, you can slowly experience it yourself in the future. Let me keep it a secret for now!"
Li Yundong smiled and didn"t ask any more questions. But when he remembered the Mahamudra and wanted to remember the corresponding mantras of these Mahamudra, he found that there was no true mantra under the nine-level Mahamudra!
Li Yundong was stunned and said cautiously, "Hey, why don"t these Nine-level Mahamudra have corresponding mantras?"
Master Erdeni burst out laughing. "Tianzun, have you finally discovered it? Now, do you know why the Buddha can subdue the demons by relying on this set of mantra incantations with extremely long great fingerprints?"
Li Yundong thought it over. He blurted out subconsciously, "Don"t you need to tell me the truth?"
He clapped his hands and said with a smile, "That"s right!"
Li Yundong was suddenly excited and said in surprise, "it"s not necessary to recite the mantra. Is it also the Matra Mahamudra?"
Master Erdeni laughed and said, "It is precisely because the Mantra Mahāmudrā kungfu takes too long to recite that the Buddha specially created the Reincarnation Nine Print that doesn"t need to be recited! Although the power of the Reincarnation Nine Print is far less than that of other Mantra Mahāmudrās, and they require the chant of the mantra because its moves are concise and fast, you can create the Reincarnation Nine Print to fight against the enemy when you are talking about the mantra. When you finish reciting the mantra, you can form a corresponding Mantra Mahāmudrā to perfectly connect the other martial arts of the Mantra Mahāmudrā kungfu!"
Li Yundong couldn"t help but be stunned. He was shocked and thought, "The incomplete version of the Mantra Mahāmudrā kungfu I used to practice is ridiculously powerful. So how powerful is the complete version of the Mantra Mahāmudrā, which is more than a dozen times more powerful? In addition to the almost instantaneous Reincarnation Nine Prints, how powerful is this whole set of Mantra Mahāmudrā kungfu?"
