Chapter 323: The Laws of the Twelve Gods
"What kind of enchantment is this? It's so indestructible!"
"We just went around in a big circle and found that this barrier has covered the entire central area. There is no entrance that can be passed through."
"Buddhist bald men are so annoying!"
After many unsuccessful attempts, the demon-specific members, priests, and onmyojis all turned their attention to the two monks who came later.
There were two monks, one fat and one thin, one holding a vajra hammer and the other holding a vajra. Facing the hostile gazes of the crowd, they just chuckled and sat aside to watch the joke, with no intention of going forward to break the formation.
"You two bald donkeys, do you really think that we can't break this barrier without your intervention?" An Onmyoji with a sinister look sneered.
The fat monk lowered his head and laughed foolishly without saying anything. The thin monk shook his head and said, "How can ignorant people like you understand the wonderful Dharma of Buddhism?"
Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, the captain of the demon department stood up and walked in front of the fat and thin monks, saying patiently: "The two monks are here to stop the great demon Qingxuandeng from reviving. If you have any opinions, please tell me honestly."
“Even if I tell you, you won’t be able to break the formation.” The thin monk still shook his head.
The fat monk put away the silly smile on his face and turned serious. "This is the Vajra Realm Mandala. Only great monks can enter."
Vajra Realm Mandala?
There were many practitioners present who were familiar with Buddhist knowledge, and they could not hide the shock in their eyes.
Vajra Realm Mandala is one of the two mandalas in Tantric Buddhism and has many miraculous powers.
It is extremely difficult to set it up in the real world. Generally, large temples just draw pictures to exorcise evil spirits and suppress ghosts.
If one really wants to recreate it in the real world and build such a solemn Buddhist land, it will require a huge amount of terrifying magical power.
Sometimes, even if a temple devotes all its efforts, it is still difficult to arrange it successfully.
The reason why the Hundred Lantern Ring of Toshodaiji Temple is so famous in the Buddhist community is because Toshodaiji Temple can restore the Hundred Lantern Ring in the real world and it possesses extremely terrifying power.
"This is impossible!" Someone firmly denied. "Everyone knows that the only eminent monk in here is Master Liansheng. How could he set up the Vajra Realm Mandala by himself?"
"Haha, just setting up a third of the scale is enough to drain all his magic power, not to mention that the setting is seamless and there is not a single flaw."
"I also don't believe that Master Liansheng has such magical power and cultivation."
"Among the nine levels of Buddhism, only a holy monk who has reached the level of the Mandala of the Vajra Realm can arrange it alone. Master Liansheng is so young that he would never be able to set foot in the Mandala of the Vajra Realm!"
More and more people raised questions, but the fat and thin monks just remained silent and did not answer.
As Buddhist practitioners, they knew better than the priests and Yin-Yang masters present how difficult it was to practice Buddhism.
There are nine levels in Buddhism, and the further you go, the harder it is to break through.
To be able to enter the Homa section is already the pinnacle of Buddhism. As for stepping into the Dalat section, there are only three holy monks in the Buddhist world who can do so.
Moreover, the Tulas they stepped on all had their flaws and could not be called perfect.
But even if it was them, they probably wouldn't be able to set up such a large Vajra Mandala on their own.
Master Liansheng...what level of cultivation has he reached?
Why is it impossible for one person to form a formation?
Because he is Master Liansheng, he has this ability!
Later, Takeda Saburo and others heard their discussions, stood aside with a slight smile on their faces, and did not want to participate in their discussion.
This group of people couldn’t even enter the outer Vajra Realm Mandala, let alone the Vairocana Tathagata inside. They definitely wouldn’t be able to pass this level.
"It seems that Master Liansheng's cultivation has improved again."
Iori Fubuki, who was carrying the sword case, was most sensitive to Hiramiya Chiya's breath.
"Buzz!"
Inside the sword box, the Manjusri Sword vibrated, as if agreeing with her guess. "I don't believe that so many of us can be blocked outside by a barrier!"
After many unsuccessful attempts, the Onmyojis teamed up to summon the Shikigami.
There were seven of them in the group, with one person sitting in the middle and the other six spread out, forming a circle, forming a formation of stars surrounding the moon.
They rang the bells to summon the gods at the same time, and the clear sound of the bells echoed throughout the area.
Along with the ringing of the bells came their difficult to understand chanting of incantations.
The Yin-Yang master in the center took a dagger and cut the palm of his left hand, dyeing the dagger red with blood, and then stuck the dagger into the ground.
He also began to chant, but his spell was obviously different from those of the other six people. It was more complicated and it seemed that it did not even have a complete syllable.
The bright moon in the sky seemed to be pulled by something, and the falling moonlight gradually gathered into white mist, covering the entire peak of Mount Fuji.
The priests who were watching the show on the side all looked up. They could clearly sense that some kind of divinity was awakening in the depths of the moonlight and white mist.
The real god is about to come to the world!
An elderly priest said with deep worry: "The magic of the twelve gods of the new era of Onmyoji is indeed extraordinary."
Shikigami, to be precise, are not real gods. Many of them are subdued mountain spirits and monsters, such as dog gods, dog demons, floating spirits, earthbound spirits, etc.
Onmyojis take them in for their own use and send them out to fight when necessary.
However, the method of the twelve generals created by the current head of the Tsuchimikado family, combining the Yin-Yang techniques of his ancestors, can summon generals who truly possess divine powers.
The Suzaku general seen before was one of them.
"The sea of stars surrounds the pole, shining like purple pearls, the sun disappears and the moon appears, and the moon descends!"
Following a deep shout from the main formation's Yin-Yang Master, a god was born in the depths of the white fog in the sky.
As soon as He appeared, the snow around Him froze and stopped whistling.
Strands of air that were colder and more biting than the flying snow spread from this source from top to bottom.
In an instant, ice chrysanthemums grew all around and countless icicles rose from the ground.
The other people present stepped back and kept a safe distance from the group of Onmyojis.
They clearly saw that the tallest ice pillars in front of them were more than 10 meters high.
The Buddha's aura gradually melted away under the erosion of the cold air.
The golden Vajra Realm Mandala was almost covered by solid ice.
At this moment, it seemed that only a heavy hammer would be needed to smash the Vajra Realm Mandala and the ice in front of him.
Everyone present turned their eyes to the Vajra Hammer in the fat monk's hand. This magical weapon was the most suitable.
The fat monk sighed, then threw the Vajra Hammer in his hand, activated his magic power, and smashed the Vajra Hammer heavily at the ice in front of him.
The crisp sound of countless cracks bursting out on the ice gradually sounded. After a loud bang, the solid ice shattered, and the Vajra Mandala that lay in front of it was also broken.
"Hurry!"
Someone in the crowd shouted deliberately, and many people rushed forward.
But soon, a miserable scream was heard from the front, which scared the people behind and made them stop immediately, not daring to rush forward.
They all looked up and saw that the golden shield supported by the Buddha's shackles in front of them had indeed disappeared, and instead, it was replaced by a world covered by golden Buddha's fire.
The golden Buddha fire burned endlessly, like a burning house of purgatory.
This is because in the very center of the Vajra Realm Mandala, there sits a statue of Vairocana Tathagata.
He closes his eyes in compassion. There is no other Buddha or Bodhisattva around him. He is the only one sitting alone in the void.
