I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 243 Tathagata's Original Vow Mantra

After hearing what Mahadeva said, Zhang Chen wanted to slap himself. It was obvious that he had gone stupid from practicing too much. To be more precise, he had been led astray by a vixen.

Then the next moment, Zhang Chen turned into mist and rose into the air. He went directly into the third floor of the Sutra Library through the gap in the window. He saw that the furnishings of the third floor of the Sutra Library were completely different from those of the first two floors, because there were only a few books on the third floor.

There is only one bookshelf in the whole room, and there are a few books on it, which are quietly placed on the shelf. However, the books this time are different from the previous ones, because the material of the books has finally changed.

In addition to books written on book paper, there are also secret books written on animal skins.

Zhang Chen approached cautiously, his eyes carefully scanning the secret book written on the paper, his fingers lightly touched the secret book, and the next moment he saw the secret book turned into ashes.

“Don’t consider the secret books written on paper.” Zhang Chen set his sights on the secret books written on animal skins, hoping that the animal skins would be stronger than paper.

Then Zhang Chen carefully pointed his finger, and the next moment he saw the animal skin turned into dust and dissipated into the air.

"Damn it, is it really all in vain?" Zhang Chen's face turned grim when he saw this scene.

He casually glanced at all the secret books and saw that they had all turned into ashes. There was no valuable content in the entire Sutra Library anymore. It was completely empty.

"I think your thinking is a little wrong." At this moment, the Great Freedom Demon on the side said.

Zhang Chen turned his head and looked at the Great Freedom Demon, with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "What do you mean?"

"Since ancient times, the true wonderful Dharma has been passed down orally, not put on paper. Even if it was really put on paper, it would be carried by the sect's highest leader, or hidden in private, rather than placed in a place like the Sutra Library where everyone can come." said the Great Freedom Demon.

Zhang Chen raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, and looked at the Great Freedom Demon: "So what do you mean?"

"Go find the place where the abbot of this temple is practicing in seclusion, or perhaps his residence, maybe we can get some unexpected gains." said the Great Freedom Demon.

Zhang Chen felt that what the other party said made sense, so he put away his emotions, turned into mist and left the Sutra Library, continuing to shuttle between palaces, checking each room.

Zhang Chen came to the monks' dormitory. The Great Freedom Demon turned his eyes and pointed to a room with a separate entrance and courtyard and said, "This is where the abbot lives. Let's go there. If there is any precious inheritance in this temple, it must be in the abbot's residence."

Upon hearing that, Zhang Chen walked into the private courtyard. Along the way, he saw that the courtyard was in ruins, with clear traces of swords, guns, and fire.

"I didn't expect that the abbot's residence also suffered a disaster." Zhang Chen looked at the big tree that was burned by the fire, and his eyes showed a trace of emotion: "I really don't know what kind of opponent he was in the past to let the temple suffer such a blow."

Upon hearing this, the Great Freedom Demon said thoughtfully: "It must be that I have offended someone I shouldn't have offended."

The two walked into the yard and saw only a simple quiet room in the courtyard. There was a bed and a desk in the room, and nothing else.

"Nothing." Zhang Chen was a little disappointed.

"Not necessarily! These old bald donkeys in Buddhism are the most cunning. They asked me to come and see..." The Great Freedom Demon circled around the house and suddenly stopped in front of a floor tile in the corner: "Zhang Chen, come here quickly."

Zhang Chen hurried over upon hearing this: "But what did you find?"

"Pour your magic power into this floor tile." said the Great Freedom Demon.

Zhang Chen didn't hesitate at all when he heard that, and directly poured his magic power into it. The next moment, he saw the floor tile actually emitting a bright light, and then a white light flew out, wrapped up Zhang Chen, and drilled into the floor tile.

Zhang Chen felt dizzy and then found himself in a stone chamber.

The stone chamber is very large, as big as a basketball court, and looks like a cave hollowed out of underground rock.

It was not dark inside the stone chamber. There was an inexplicable light bursting from above, illuminating the entire stone chamber.

Zhang Chen scanned the entire underground cave and saw that countless plants and trees had died. This should have been an underground world before, but because it lost its owner's care, the life cycle was broken and it turned into a dead place.

Zhang Chen carefully looked at the entire underground cave and saw no traces of knife cutting or axe chopping in the underground cave. It was obvious that the fighting outside had no impact here.

With the help of the sunlight coming down from the sky, Zhang Chen scanned the entire underground space inch by inch, and finally saw a cliff carving in the distance.

Zhang Chen turned into mist and floated up, landing in front of the cliff carving, revealing his trace. He looked at the cliff carving and saw two large golden characters engraved on it: Heart Zen.

There are no other fonts.

"Zhang Chen, come here quickly, there is a harvest here." Just as Zhang Chen was still looking around, the shout of the Great Freedom Demon came from not far away. Zhang Chen hurried over, his eyes lit up, he found a page of a book, the most important thing was that the book was open.

In front of the golden book, there were two buttocks prints that were deeply engraved into the stone. The buttocks prints had even been covered with patina and turned into the shape of jade.

"In the past, a great Buddhist monk meditated in seclusion here. Even the stones on the ground were covered with patina and turned into jade. He probably wanted to comprehend this Buddhist scripture. Later, this Buddhist temple suffered a catastrophe. After the monk woke up, he didn't bother to put away the secret book and hurried out to support. Unfortunately, the supporting monk never came back. The two open pages of the book actually record a complete method." The Great Freedom Demon is indeed an old antique. He has figured out many things in a short moment.

Zhang Chen also understood the characters from the ancient times of gods and demons, and he could recite them at a glance: Tathagata's Original Vow Mantra.

"This seems to be a spell?" Zhang Chen muttered, then immediately shut up, not daring to continue reciting it for fear of causing any trouble.

Zhang Chen took a look at the scripture. It was very short, with only eighty-one words, otherwise it would not have been recorded exactly on the two pages of the scripture.

"Do you know the mystery of the Tathagata's original vow mantra?" Zhang Chen asked. Upon hearing this, the Great Freedom Demon scratched his head and said, "It seems to be a magical power. I seem to have heard of it, but I don't remember where I heard it or what the specific content is."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen glanced at the spell, then pondered and recited it secretly, silently thinking about the key points in his heart.

As he recited word by word in his heart, his spiritual world suddenly shone brightly, and that light resonated with the outside world. Suddenly, an inexplicable golden light emerged from the ruins of the temple and the halls, and gathered towards Zhang Chen's spiritual world. The countless Buddha lights gathered into a dazzling light in Zhang Chen's world. A point of Buddha light rose up like the rising sun in the east, and Zhang Chen's magic power surged with it, as if affected by the fluctuations emitted by the mantra. Then the next moment, infinite Buddha lights bloomed, and an inexplicable aura rose from Zhang Chen's body. The book was directly dispersed by the aura emitted by Zhang Chen, turned into dust and dissipated between heaven and earth.

"What's going on?" Zhang Chen was horrified. He had only silently recited a Buddhist mantra in his spiritual world, but such a change happened?

The next moment, an inexplicable pushing force came, the void in front of Zhang Chen's eyes twisted, and his consciousness was directly pushed out from the first level of the spiritual world.

"What's going on?" Zhang Chen opened his eyes, his eyes full of surprise and doubt. He quickly summoned out the Great Freedom Demon and questioned him. He was afraid that the Great Freedom Demon was causing trouble.

"That temple seems to be the dojo of a great Buddhist being. Even if his body died, his power spread into the temple and survived countless years and disasters. You silently recited the Buddhist mantra in your heart, and the power dispersed by the deceased great being was sensed, resonated directly with you, and then blessed you. Now you feel your spiritual world, have you seen any changes?" The Great Freedom Demon looked at Zhang Chen with envy in his eyes:

"You are so lucky! That great Buddhist master met with a calamity and died. His teachings disappeared in the temple, but his scattered power still remained in the temple. The Tathagata Mantra that you inadvertently recited was sensed by the scattered power and directly blessed. It is equivalent to that the ancestor of Buddhism personally gave you the initiation after countless years and countless eras."

Zhang Chen was pleasantly surprised when he heard that, and then he quickly closed his eyes to sense his own soul. The next moment, he saw a ray of Buddha's light flowing in the blue lotus of his soul, and the Buddha's light turned into a mantra "Om Ma Ni Pa Mi Hum".

The spell did not conflict with Zhang Chen's magic power. It swam within Zhang Chen's magic power like a fish.

As if sensing Zhang Chen's will, the spell exploded and turned into a stream of information, pouring into Zhang Chen's consciousness. At this moment, a faint Buddha light flowed around Zhang Chen, looking sacred and solemn, which was very unusual.

"What a great fortune! What a great fortune!" The Great Freedom Demon stood beside Zhang Chen, looking at the Buddha's light emanating from Zhang Chen with his eyes wide open.

After a long time, the Buddha light around Zhang Chen's body converged, and then he slowly opened his eyes: "So it was this spell. This Tathagata's Original Vow Mantra is the root of all the magical spells in Buddhism, and the cornerstone of all magical powers. It seems that the origin of that temple seems unusual."

“I don’t know what the origin of that temple is.”

"As far as I can remember, the only temple with the word 'small' in its name is the Little Leiyin Temple. I wonder if there are any other temples with the word 'small' in their name."

……

There was a hint of thought in Zhang Chen's eyes.

"How does it feel?" The Great Freedom Demon came forward with a curious look on his face.

"I have comprehended a supernatural power, which is derived from the Buddhist mantra and is called: the Forbidden Word Technique." Zhang Chen said.

The Great Freedom Demon asked, "What is the mystery of this forbidden character formula?"

"It's too mysterious to explain. I'll demonstrate it to you and you'll understand." Zhang Chen glanced at the cave and said, "It's a pity that there are no monsters here. If there were monsters, the mystery of this forbidden technique would be revealed. It's just you and me here, so we can't demonstrate it."

As they were talking, the demon king Zhao Lie in Zhang Chen's arms suddenly woke up. He stretched his legs sleepily and crawled out of Zhang Chen's arms, then let out a heart-wrenching howl. Zhang Chen knew at a glance that the kid was hungry.

"Hmm, what a coincidence. You, a beast, have chance and luck, and today's luck just comes true for you." Zhang Chen was just saying that there was no living creature to demonstrate, but the action of the demon king Zhao Lie reminded Zhang Chen that there was a ready-made living creature in his arms.

Then Zhang Chen stretched out his hand and took out the Zhaolie Demon King from his arms. The Zhaolie Demon King was suddenly awakened when he heard Zhang Chen say "You are a lucky person" with sleepy eyes. For some reason, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

Then the demon king Zhao Lie struggled violently, constantly flicking his weak limbs, trying to escape from Zhang Chen's clutches, but he was just in the state of rebirth, how could he struggle out of Zhang Chen's palm?
"Be good, hold on, it will be fine soon! You are a lucky person. I just learned a magical power, and you are the first to try it. You are really lucky."

Zhang Chen ignored his struggle, and the next moment the magic power in his body began to circulate. The mysterious power in his body boiled, and golden light suddenly came out of his mouth, which turned into the six-word mantra "Hong Mani Ba Mi Hong". The mantra uttered by Zhang Chen shook the ten directions of the world around him. The six-word mantra turned into golden light and directly hit the center of the demon king Zhao Lie's eyebrows, breaking through the opponent's flesh defense and drilling into his soul.

"What the hell!"

Seeing that the six-word mantra was imprinted in his soul and continued to penetrate into his soul, he immediately realized that something was wrong and struggled desperately to resist, but how could Zhao Lie have the qualifications to struggle at this time? The six-word mantra melted into Zhao Lie's body and directly turned into golden threads, which began to develop in his soul, connecting his three souls and seven spirits.

The Great Freedom Demon at the side couldn't help but reveal a trace of horror after seeing Zhang Chen's method: "I seem to have an impression, it's actually this ghost magic? This is actually the forbidden word formula, which is specially used to subdue various guardian beasts, and use them as mounts or directly as guardians."

“Unfortunately, I’m too weak. I’m only at the Qi Refining stage, and can only bless monsters below the first level. However, as long as they are hit by this forbidden spell, even if they break through to become gods or saints in the future, they will still not be able to escape my means.” Zhang Chen said with a smile.

The Great Freedom Demon fell silent upon hearing this, cursing in his heart: "Fortunately you are only a Qigong practitioner. If you were an immortal or a saint, coupled with your soul-snatching skills, I don't know how many people would be in trouble."

Zhang Chen received the incantation. Zhao Lie now opened his eyes wide, feeling the golden thread in his soul, which was like a series of shackles, constantly shuttling back and forth in his soul, firmly blocking all the key points of his soul.

"What have you done to me!!!" Zhao Lie roared in anger, but in Zhang Chen's ears, it turned into a cute roar, like a spoiled child, which simply melted Zhang Chen's heart.

"You are a man of good fortune. With this magical power, it will be a natural process for you to gain wisdom and become a monster in the future." Zhang Chen stroked Zhao Lie's head with a smile.

Controlling and enlightening monsters are only small powers of the Six-Word Mantra. Its true power has not yet been revealed.

Zhang Chen was playing with the little tiger, and he became more curious about the ruins of the spiritual world. There was such a miraculous power as the Six-Character Mantra inside. What was the origin of that temple?

"Let's go explore it again and find out more clearly. That temple must not be an unknown temple." Zhang Chen said to himself.
