490 Are You Willing to Devote Yourself (2/2)
Stepping into the gates, she saw an unfamiliar looking, white and fat old monk sitting on a praying mat. He wore a purple gold kasaya, seeming noble and rich. However, at this moment he was frowning, sighing out loud like he was worried about something.
After Zhiyuan brought her here, he bowed and left.
Jingyin wasn't afraid of unfamiliar situations. She first bowed towards Sakyamuni, Medicine Buddha, and Siddhartha Buddha.
Then she did a Buddhist greeting towards the fat monk, ”Disciple Jingyin greets senior master Linghai!”
”You finally came, sit!”
He pointed towards the prayer mat opposite him. It wasn't until she sat down did Linghai speak, ”Did your master tell you about the reason why you came?”
Jingyin shook her head. In truth, she didn't know why her master asked her to rush over to this Jianan cave.
”It seems like I must be the one to be the bad person this time.”
Linghai sighed, his face helpless, ”From today on, you are kicked out of the sect. You must return to the world!”
Jingyin was startled, but she wasn't shocked at all. She didn't panic, just blinking--her eyes filled with a questioning expression.
When Linghai saw that, he couldn't help but praise. This girl was really intelligent.
”During these few days, have you learned of the changes in our cloud world Buddhist temples?”
Jingyin nodded her head, ”I heard that 3 days ago the Buddhist statues all glowed, the north wall collapsing. There was no exception. After the matter master said that the north is a respected position, all gods sat in the north and faced south. The wall was built to split up inside from the outside. Master said that this is our buddhist's predestined fate--luck where people are brought together!”
”Your master always had good comprehension! That is indeed the case!”
Linghai smiled, his expression was complicated, ”Do you know that days ago, the many buddha ancestors all gave some decrees! Not only our jianan cave, the shanming temple, white horse temple, xiangguo temple, etc--most of them were like that. Without exception, they were all 4 words!”
Jingyin face filled with shock. Then, she saw Linghai point towards her sides.
Jingyin looked towards where his fingers pointed to, understanding the reason why Linghai would choose this place to meet her.
She saw that on the gold-colored ground, there were 2 large words on the right and left side. There was no shape or trace, but only an injection of intent. Only if one focused could one read it.
...Unlimited light! Endless darkness!
Amongst those words, each of them was filled with huge amounts of Buddhist power, as well as the many Buddhist paths.
Jingyin looked at if for a moment before she felt her soul hurting, not daring to continue looking on.
”Unlimited light and endless darkness? What does that mean?”
”You can see the words. And can last over a breath?”
Linghai moved forwards and sized up Jingyin, ”This time we found the right person. My useless disciples...Even if they went all out, they could only read a portion of it, unable to last for half a breath. Oh! Not bad, looks and aura, the top choice in the world. You will be able to complete this matter.”
Seeing her brows furrow, Linghai awkwardly smiled, his body moving backward.
”It is indeed unlimited light and endless darkness! Before this, I didn't know what it meant. I only comprehended it yesterday that we must search for a person who has both of these features and accept him into our Buddhist school.”
When Jingyin heard that, her face was filled with loss,” However isn't unlimited light the power grasped by dari rulai? The light shines all over, not being destroyed and not being produced, an important feature of Vairocana…”
Halfway into her words, Linghai waved his hand to interrupt her. He silently placed a few scriptures in front of Jingyin.
She saw that they were all scriptures related to dari rulai.
Dari garbha scripture, vairocana light scripture, great sun dharma scripture...
Ten over books made of special materials, all scriptures who could carry the big path.
Jingyin curiously flipped open. Then, her expression finally changed. She flipped several books, with no exception, all of them changed.
”3 days ago all dari rulai scriptures changed unlimited light to vast light. After this person formed his foundations, even Vairocana doesn't there to say he carries unlimited light…”
Jingyin's expression froze as she placed down the books in her hand.
”Vairocana is the personification of the sun. I don't understand. What path has even stronger light power than the sun? Endless darkness...which means this person has both light and darkness? Unlimited light and endless darkness, they should be conflicting. How is that possible?”
”Your senior master doesn't understand either! However, we can confirm that these 4 words referred to one person!”
Linghai laughed awkwardly, ”Kicking you out of the sect is for you to find him. No matter what you do and what price, you have to get him to join the Buddhist sect. Even if you can't you need him to help us. Jingyin are you willing to devote yourself to our Buddhism?”
