Chapter 554 I Can“t Speak a Word
Only then did Li Yundong know that the essence of Mantra Mahāmudrā was Reincarnation Nine Prints. He asked questioningly, "Master, aren"t you afraid that someone will secretly learn the Reincarnation Nine Prints?"
Cena chuckled. "Tianzun, you worry too much. This Reincarnation Nine Prints isn"t a thing that an ordinary person can do. Only a G.o.d with great power and great virtue can do it. Even our Esoteric Sect"s Guardian Vajra is unable to do so."
Li Yundong suddenly understood. He didn"t ask any more questions, just turned his head and silently looked at the many deities and Buddhas in the copper palace.
As the saying goes, ordinary people look at the scenery, and it is just scenery. When a master looks at the scenery, he won"t miss the bigger picture. Even from a flower and a leaf, he can see the whole world and even the common people in the universe.
This was exactly what Li Yundong was doing at this time. After he finished reading the Vajra Deity Buddhas with big handprints, he even looked at other deities and Buddhas with magic tools in their hands and different postures. He also vaguely felt that their positions seemed to have a deeper meaning. His heart moved and he could not help imitating them.
Seeing Li Yundong walking around the copper palace and waving his hands and feet from time to time, he knew that Li Yundong had entered a state of cultivation comprehension. At this time, Li Yundong was doing the kind of subconsciously enlightened behavior of a cultivator. He smiled slightly and didn"t go forward to disturb Li Yundong. He left silently.
The Copper Hall was one of the tourist attractions opened by Potala Palace. After stepping out of the hall, many tourists went in to have a look, but then they saw a man dancing in front of the divine statues like a madman. He even imitated the movements of these divine statues. Some of them were ferocious, others were kind and amiable.
All these tourists were shocked by Li Yundong"s strange behavior. Some of them didn"t dare to stay in the Hall of Sound and ran out one after another. Some of them were bold enough to take out their cameras or cellphones to film him at a distance.
However, these tourists changed wave after wave until the sun went down behind the mountain. Li Yundong was still immersed in meditation and could not extricate himself from it.
When it was late at night, several Lamas came to the Hall of Copper. They lifted the wall lamp for Li Yundong so that he could still observe the mystery of every Buddha"s position without any obstruction.
Li Yundong had no perception of anything around him. At this time, he had entered a state where there was no one around him. He was completely immersed in the profound understanding of the divine power of Buddhist doctrine.
In this series of enlightenment, Li Yundong clearly felt that every posture of the divine Buddist statue had a special power and solemnity. For example, the postures of King Ming and Vajra were mainly focused on majesty, horror and victory. The key functions were to wake up all living things, to frighten all enemies, to eliminate fear and to drive away ghosts and demons.
As for the other G.o.ds and Buddhas, their poses appeared to be much more gentle. One of them was Bhaisajyaguru Buddha"s posture combined with Mahamudra, allowing Li Yundong to feel vigorous energy swirling around him.
This power seemed to represent the power of sunlight and moonlight. It could cure deadly diseases, make the sick be healthy physically and mentally, and make already healthy people feel at ease.
For a long time, Li Yundong changed from one position to the other. After he had looked at all the postures of the hundreds of statues and imitated them, he found a place in the hall and sat cross-legged on the floor. He entered his Spirit s.p.a.ce and silently recalled the martial arts of the Mahamudra he had learned and the postures of Buddhism he had comprehended.
The meditation lasted for a day and a night. When Li Yundong woke up the next day, it was already dawn. He opened his eyes at this time and let out a long breath. Suddenly, he looked up and let out a long roar.
Different from the previous long roar, the one contained the power of the Buddhist mantra. It was like countless eminent monks reciting scriptures and countless Buddhist bells echoing at the same time.
For a moment, all the bronze statues in the copper hall were shocked by Li Yundong"s voice, making a ringing sound. Then, after his voice came out of the copper hall, the other statues in the other palaces also buzzed, such as in the Silence Hall, the East Sun Hall, Maitreya Hall.
In an instant, all the statues in the palace were shaken by Li Yundong"s long roar, making buzzing sounds. It was like the Unmoving Heavenly Lord of Light, as well as G.o.ds and Buddhas and the King of all Yamas, giving out a heaven-shaking Buddha"s name. It was majestic and earth-shattering, like a group of waves echoing. The waves piled up one after another, forming an incomparable mega-wave, and it covered the sky and the earth, rushing straight upwards!
At this time, the pilgrims who were advancing towards Potala Palace, as well as the tourists who were playing, were all stunned by the strange scene in front of them. All of a sudden, the pilgrims prostrated themselves on the ground in awe, thinking that this was the manifestation of deities and Buddhas. As for the tourists, they all looked left and right, as though they were searching for direction and the source of the voice.
After Li Yundong let out a long howl, he stood up. Although he had been practicing for two days, he still felt energetic. When he opened his eyes, he saw that Cena was standing at the door of the main hall, looking at him with a smile and not saying a word.
Li Yundong walked over with a grin and said, "Master, you must have waited for me for a long time. How long have I been in meditation?"
He put his palms together devoutly and chanted the name of a Buddhist monk. "Amitabha, it wasn"t long. Just two days."
Li Yundong was slightly surprised. "Two days? Why do I feel like it was two hours?"
Cena chuckled. "Two hundred years is nothing more than a flick of a finger, let alone two days. it"s not surprising for you to have this feeling."
Li Yundong also laughed and returned the salute. "You"re right, Master. Although two days" time is short, for some people, it feels as long as a few centuries. Although I don"t care, I can"t ignore other people"s feelings."
Li Yundong hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he added, "Master, I have a presumptuous request. I don"t know if I can ask it of you."
The master glanced at Li Yundong with his eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, and he said with a smile, "Tianzun, you don"t have to say it. I have already answered you."
Li Yundong was stunned and asked in surprise, "What?" As soon as he finished speaking, he had an idea and asked tentatively, "Do you mean to persuade me not to go up the mountain from the east?"
Cena began to chuckle. "What else could it be?"
Li Yundong was shocked. "Master, do you know that I"m going to the Bright Mountain to get the 1,000-year-old snow lotus?"
With a smile, he pointed to the sky and said, "The 1,000-year-old snow lotus is gathering the spirit of Heaven and Earth, and it is also a treasure of our sect. Of course, I know its fate!"
Li Yundong asked in confusion, "But, Master, won"t you ask me what I"m going to do with the 1,000-year-old snow lotus? Why did you give it to me for nothing?"
Erdeni laughed and said, "Buddha can feed an eagle with his flesh. What"s more, you are the reincarnation of the Wisdom King. Besides, everything in the world has its own destiny. What can I do to stop it by force? If it is destined to be yours, no matter how hard I try to stop it, it will be useless."
Li Yundong sighed, bowed respectfully, and said with admiration, "Master really has the temperament of Buddha. You deserve to be a Living Buddha in the world. I admire you! But what do you mean by persuading me not to go up the mountain from the east?"
After a long silence, Erdeni said to Li Yunyang meaningfully, "Tianzun, in fact, I already knew what you would choose and what the result will be. But the reason why I"m still talking to you like this is that I hope you won"t go this far..."
Li Yundong was confused. He asked in confusion, "Master, what do you mean by this? Did you know that I would definitely go up the mountain from the east? What will happen if I do that? What will happen if I go up the mountain from another direction?"
With a smile, Erdeni lowered his head and chanted the name of a Buddhist monk. "Buddha says I can"t say!"
Li Yundong suddenly smiled bitterly in his heart and thought, "Why are all the eminent monks who are proficient in fate like this? Will they be killed if they don"t keep me guessing?"
As if knowing what Li Yundong was thinking, Erdeni said with a smile, "It"s not that I don"t want to say it, it"s that it"s useless to do so. On the contrary, it would reveal the secrets of heaven and I would be punished by heaven. So, please forgive me."
Li Yundong was slightly shocked, but he quickly understood. Since the master knew the Metasamsara, he must have known the Heart Binding! Of course, he knew what he was thinking.
Li Yundong had no choice but to salute with a bitter smile and said, "Master, I"ll leave and get the snow lotus. I"ll come back to thank you later."
He returned the greeting with a smile and said, "There are three holy mountains in Tibet. Do you know on which holy mountain the snow lotus grows?"
"Master, please give me some advice."
With a smile, Erdeni said, "The thousand-year-old snow lotus is a spiritual creature of the universe. It will hide and transfer itself. It doesn"t always grow in a holy mountain. Only when fated people show up will it appear. Therefore, any holy mountain can reveal its true body. But what is certain is that it will appear on the holy mountain that has the most predestined relationship with fated people."
Li Yundong thought for a moment and asked, "Is it Kari Holy Mountain?"
Erdeni laughed. "Well, you"ll have to investigate by yourself."
Seeing that he didn"t want to explain in detail, Li Yunyang didn"t force him. After he said goodbye to Erdeni with a smile, he went out of the Hall of Sound.
As soon as he walked out of the copper palace, he saw a lot of tourists talking, whispering to each other about the abnormality of the divine statues. Li Yundong saw them, but he just smiled and didn"t care about it. After he left Potala Palace, he ran in the direction of Kari Holy Mountain.
Li Yundong flew at a low alt.i.tude when there was no one on the way. When he met someone, he fell to the ground and ran wildly. A few hours later, he arrived at the foot of Mount Kari.
Li Yundong looked up and found himself at the foot of Mount Kari, which was located to the west of Mount Athos. He only saw the Holy Mountain, which was the tallest place in Tibet. It stood majestically as if a sharp sword had been inserted straight into the clouds.
Li Yundong was surprised. Looking at the hillside in the west, he couldn"t help but think of what Erdeni had said. He was full of doubts in his heart. "Why can"t I go up from the east? Is there anything wrong with the east?"
Thinking of this, Li Yundong couldn"t help laughing. As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat. "Why not listen to the advice of the Living Buddha? If I don"t go up the mountain from the east, I"ll just go to the other side of the mountain."
Thinking of this, Li Yundong was about to climb up the mountain when he suddenly heard a shout coming through the weak wind. Li Yundong was suddenly stunned and subconsciously turned his head in the direction of the sound.
The voice came from the east of the Kari Holy Mountain. He was surprised and hesitated for a moment, thinking to himself, "I"ll go and see what"s going on. If there"s nothing else, I can turn back and go up the mountain from another place."
Thinking of this, he quickly walked to the east side of the Kari Holy Mountain. As soon as he turned to the east, he heard clear sounds of fighting and shouting coming from the mountainside through the wind.
He looked up and saw several figures entangled on the snow-white hillside. Two men in gray Daopao were attacking four Lamas. The four Lamas were standing around a woman.
Li Yundong activated his super vision to take a look, only to see that this woman was in white clothes, a red robe, and a pair of red boots. It was none other than Meiduo in Banda Lam"s dress!
