Chapter 109: Buddhist Methods
"Buddhist methods?"
Zhang Hu was puzzled upon hearing Lin Jing's request.
In the Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom, although Buddhist followers were all over the nine domains, their missionary work was shallow, and their overall power was not even as good as second-rate cultivation sects.
Why would Lin Jing want to practice Buddhist methods?
What was good about practicing this stuff!
"There are some..." The demon-suppressing guard Zhang Hu pondered for a moment. Although Buddhist methods were not mainstream in the Ancient Kingdom, Lin Jing had asked the right place.
Because the Buddhist powerhouses who entered the Ancient Kingdom would almost all be pulled into the Demon Suppression Division to work, forced to become guest ministers of the Demon Suppression Division.
Naturally, the Demon Suppression Division collected a large number of Buddhist spells.
"Why do you want to practice that stuff? Aren't you afraid of hair loss?" Not only was Zhang Hu puzzled, but Gao Sheng beside him also had a puzzled expression.
"Practicing Buddhist methods causes hair loss? Isn't that shaved by oneself?" Lin Jing was stunned. It was the first time he had heard of this.
"Oh, it seems so." Gao Sheng suddenly realized.
Lin Jing didn't hide anything: "I was once enlightened by a Buddhist powerhouse, so practicing Buddhist methods yields higher returns, and it will be relatively simpler to enter."
"So that's it!" Gao Sheng smiled and said: "You tame beasts so well, so you don't have to worry about being led astray by Buddhism. Practice, practice."
He suddenly paused. Lin Jing was also half a Gu cultivator. Could this be considered dual cultivation of Buddhism and Demon?
"Practicing Buddhist methods is no problem. However, I recalled it, and only three types of Buddhist methods are recorded here, which is not a large number compared to other spells. I wonder if there is one you like." Zhang Hu replied: "They are Diamond Fist, Burial Life Curse, and Buddha-Demon Bead!"
"Let me introduce them..."
"Diamond Fist is a type of fist technique with the effect of subduing demons. After practicing to small success, one will be immune to all evil. After execution, practicing a set of Diamond Fist can effectively resolve various adverse effects."
"This fist is fierce and incomparable, suitable for body cultivators."
"Burial Life Curse. Reciting the Burial Life Curse before killing can exempt the influence of killing on oneself to a certain extent. Killing intent, resentment, evil intent, etc., are not easy to entangle."
"Reciting the mantra requires consuming a certain amount of mental power."
"As for the Buddha-Demon Bead... it can be considered a sealing technique." Zhang Hu thought for a while and said: "It is the Buddhist method among the three here that has the best effect and the highest upper limit after practice."
"Hmm?" Lin Jing noted: "Senior Zhang, what is the saying about this Buddha-Demon Bead?"
Zhang Hu explained: "The Buddha-Demon Bead is to condense a Buddha bead in the body. This Buddha bead can seal killing intent, evil intent, and other negative forces into the Buddha bead without affecting oneself."
"Even if practiced to great success, the Buddha bead can also seal living things such as demon objects and demon heads. The demonic power it can seal far exceeds one's own cultivation realm."
"There was once a Buddhist great power who sealed demons with his body, suppressing the demon gods that brought disaster to the world. In their words, if I don't enter hell, who enters hell?"
"Many Buddhist disciples practice the Buddha-Demon Bead. However, the drawback is also not small, that is, the demonic power sealed in the bead, if the practitioner cannot purify it in time, it is extremely easy for the Buddha bead to turn into a Demon Bead, thereby causing the practitioner to fall into the demonic path!"
"There are many demon Buddhas, evil Buddhas, and wicked Buddhas in Buddhism, which are all influenced by the power of the Buddha-Demon Bead during the practice process."
"This..." Lin Jing was stunned and said: "Besides sealing demonic power, does this Buddha bead have any other functions?"
Zhang Hu nodded: "Yes, that is, the more demonic power sealed, the stronger the Buddha nature displayed by the Buddha bead. However, this Buddha nature, if weak, is of no use. Displaying it, at most, makes people think you are an enlightened high monk and a good person."
"The manifestation of Buddha nature and the entanglement of merit, lonely ghosts and wild spirits will actively avoid it. If a mortal monk has Buddha nature, perhaps it has some use. But for us cultivators, encountering lonely ghosts and wild spirits, we just destroy them!"
"I guess only the Buddha nature displayed by the Buddha beads of those Buddhist high people who seal demons with their bodies can have the effect of divine abilities."
"So that's it." Lin Jing smiled. Isn't this very good?
He liked this kind of spell that could prove he was a good person very much.
He said: "I will practice this Buddha-Demon Bead."
"As expected." Zhang Hu shook his head: "This Buddhist method is the most profound here, so choosing it is not unreasonable. However, among the three Buddhist methods, this one is also the most dangerous. Young Master Lin can use this method to restrain demonic power in the future, but also remember to purify the power inside in time."
"Don't worry." Gao Sheng said: "With me watching, there's no problem."
Zhang Hu hesitated for a moment, looked at Gao Sheng, and always felt that Gao Sheng was not very reliable.
However, he looked at the talented Lin Jing and felt that this Young Master Lin was quite reliable. Although he rarely entered the city, he had heard a certain amount about Lin Jing's name.
Subsequently, under Zhang Hu's guidance, Lin Jing and Gao Sheng were first taken into a room to wait, while he went to get the cultivation method for the Buddha-Demon Bead.

Before long, Zhang Hu returned with a Buddhist book. The Buddhist book was tightly closed, not looking like it had pages.
"Young Master Lin, the Buddhist methods left in the Demon Suppression Division by Buddhist followers are quite special. These Buddhist methods have been added with a seal, and only those who are considered to have a connection with Buddhism can open them."
"However, their move is no different from taking off pants to fart, because I have never seen anyone who couldn't open a Buddhist book."
"Everyone has a connection with Buddhism, right." Gao Sheng curled his lips: "The abacus of these Buddhist missionaries is all on my face."
Zhang Hu smiled: "Although everyone has a connection with Buddhism, practicing Buddhist methods is indeed very dependent on talent. In this immortal prison of the Demon Suppression Division in Hidden Dragon City, almost no one chooses these three Buddhist methods to practice, because compared to other demon-driving Daoist methods, the difficulty of practicing these Buddhist methods is too high. Even those who choose them are slow to enter."
"However, since Young Master Lin is favored by Buddhist powerhouses, practicing should be no problem..."
He handed the Buddhist book recording the Buddha-Demon Bead to Lin Jing.
After Lin Jing got it, he opened the Buddhist book immediately. Sure enough, he didn't encounter any obstacles. The moment the Buddhist book was opened, Buddha light surged, and the light carried the scriptures, reflecting into Lin Jing's pupils.
It was not much different from opening a cultivation technique jade slip, and a lot of information emerged in Lin Jing's mind.
Buddha-Demon Bead!
One Buddha bead, sealing ten thousand demons.
He immediately sat cross-legged on the spot and operated his true Qi. The cultivation method of this Buddha-Demon Bead was actually built with merit. Those who have never done good deeds are difficult to condense a Buddha bead.
"Use the heart mantra to guide the power of merit, condense Qi into a bead."
Lin Jing couldn't even remember what good deeds he had done. However, under the guidance of the heart mantra, traces of merit power in his body were guided out, and scenes reappeared in his consciousness. He had actually done some good deeds.
Like donating to disaster areas, giving up his seat to pregnant women, and rescuing injured wild birds that fell outside the window, these small things that Lin Jing had forgotten were all transformed into traces of merit Qi, fusing with his true Qi.
Lin Jing followed the construction method recorded in the Buddhist book to condense Qi into a bead. The complex Buddha bead was not just an ordinary ball, its cumbersome structure was more like a bead-shaped immortal prison, bottomless and extremely solid. ===== CHAPTER 110 =====
