My baby is gone again

Chapter 102 The Confrontation between God and Man
Tianchong City.

Inn, private room on the second floor.

"Junior Chu Qian (Lin Qingyu), thank you two seniors for saving your life."

Chu Qian, a disciple of the Immortal Cooking Sect, and Lin Qingyu, a disciple of the Lingmei Sect, saluted at the same time, very respectful.

"Come, come, sit down first, don't be so rigid."

Lu Xuan beckoned the two to sit down with a smile on their faces.

"How is the situation at Tianchong Temple?"

Lu Xuan asked.

"Return to Senior Lu's words."

Chu Qian said:
"All the disciples of Tianchong Temple turned into a part of the demon's body, except for some handymen, none of the Buddhist practitioners in the temple survived.

For the common people and ordinary monks who participated in the vegetarian banquet, when something happened, the seniors present responded in a timely manner, and there was nothing serious about it. "

Lu Xuan nodded slightly:

"You did a good job yesterday. The common people and monks who participated in the vegetarian banquet were able to be saved. You have great merit."

"Actually, I didn't do anything."

Chu Qian was a little embarrassed by Lu Xuan's praise, and never thought that he almost fell in Tianchong Temple last night in order to pass on the news.

"If you really want to claim credit, it has to be Fellow Daoist Lin."

Chu Qian thought for a while:
"Last night, I saw the strange behavior of Tianchong Temple. I was full of enthusiasm. I wanted to go down with Fellow Daoist Lin. If she hadn't stopped me in time... the consequences would be unimaginable, she would be brave and resourceful."

"You don't need to praise me so much."

Lin Qingyu shook her head, "I went into that crypt to find out the truth about the disappearance of the elders of my sect. I am far inferior to Fellow Daoist Chu who understands righteousness."

"Okay, okay, you two don't care about your heart, don't be modest."

Cheng Lingzhu raised his cup with a smile, "Come on, on behalf of the people here, let me offer a toast to the two knights."

"Senior praised me absurdly, I dare not take it, I dare not take it..."

The two hurriedly raised the teacup on the table, and after drinking the tea in the cup, Chu Qian's eyes widened suddenly:
"This tea, this tea...this is..."

"Plucked from the Dao Enlightenment Tree in the Nine Forbidden Lands, it has a thicker taste. I don't know if you young people like it or not."

Lu Xuan laughed.

He usually doesn't drink the tea from this tree very much. The Enlightenment Tree in the Nine Forbidden Grounds is a bit older, and even the new tea soup is very strong.

Lu Xuan is a young man. When he and Cheng Lingzhu were together, they drank tea from [Gutuo Forbidden Site]. The Enlightenment Tree in this family would nirvana every hundred years, and a new tree would grow on the original site.

The Wudao Tea from the Gutuo Forbidden Area has a sweet taste, and leaves a fragrance on the lips and teeth after drinking it.

Every time Lu Xuan goes down the mountain, he has to go there to buy goods. He is more introverted, and he is too shy to bother others, so he picks the leaves by himself.

The Lord of the Forbidden Land was very moved by this.

"Senior, we...we..."

Enlightenment tea is precious, even the leader of the great sect would only drink it once in a while, Chu Qian was a little incoherent and didn't know what to say.

"Heroes deserve it."

Lu Xuan stopped his words and said with a smile:
"If you say thank you and salute again, it will appear pedantic."

Hearing what Lu Xuan said, the two had no choice but to swallow the words on their lips.

After taking a sip of tea soup, Lin Qingyu exhaled slowly:

"My Xingzang was breached last night and fell into Kong Wen's hands. I thought he was going to kill me on the spot... It's really lucky."

She still has lingering fears when she recalls what happened last night.

"It has nothing to do with luck, does it?"

After drinking Wudao tea, Chu Qian thought clearly:

"After all, you are not a threat in front of others. Our disciples of the Immortal Cooking Sect bought chickens and often reared them for two days before killing them."

Lin Qingyu: "..."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for clarifying the confusion."

She looked at Chu Qian and squeezed out a sentence between her teeth.

"It should be."

Chu Qian smiled brightly.

After the two drank tea, Chu Qian asked curiously:

"Senior Lu, what is the origin of that demon in Tianchong Temple? Fellow Daoist Lin said that this demon was transformed by a senior from their sect, but how could such a good-looking person become like that?"

"You want to know?"

Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows.

The two looked at each other and nodded.

Although they can roughly understand that Tianchong Temple is raising demons, but regarding this case, the two still have many doubts in their hearts.

"I found the letter left by Kong Wen in Tianchong Temple."

Kong Wen is a direct disciple of Tian Chong Buddha and the second generation head of Tian Chong Temple.

Lu Xuan took out a roll of jade slips and spread them out on the table:

"The origin of this matter also lies in Tian Chongfo."

"Heaven worships Buddha?"

Chu Qian was taken aback.

"good."

Lu Xuan pointed to the handbook on the table:

"Everyone in the world knows that Tian worshiped Buddha in the kitchen, watched the birth and death of the bottom fire, and comprehended the Buddha's meaning, but there is another hidden story in this matter."

He paused:

"It is recorded in this handbook that Tian Chongfo used to be a cook in a certain big temple, and suddenly one day, a meteor fell to the ground at night and smashed through the kitchen.

The man on duty that night happened to be Tian Chongfo. He went to check, but saw a square piece of 'meat', about the size of a human head, in the sinkhole in the kitchen.

According to Tian Chongfo's recollection, the meat is white in color and soft in texture, coagulated like fat, with internal grains and a strange fragrance.

At that time, Tian Chongfo was a reckless man, and he only regarded it as a monk fighting in the air, beheading some birds, and falling from them.

He cooked meals for the masters and masters in the temple, and he ate vegetarian food. Naturally, he was happy to pick up such a piece of "spiritual beast meat" for nothing.

So he sliced ​​the meat into thin slices and ate it raw that night.

After eating one piece, Tian Chongfo felt that he had eyesight, hearing, strength, and was much stronger than before.

After eating two slices, his mind became clear and his thinking was active. He suddenly understood many things that he didn't understand before, and he could understand many things that he didn't understand before.

So Tian Chongfo ate a whole piece of "spiritual beast meat", opened the root of wisdom, formed the Dharma in his heart, and embarked on the road of practice. "

When Chu Qian and Lin Qingyu heard this, they felt a little thoughtful and terrified.

Just looking at Tian Chongfo's description of that piece of meat, he knew that there was something wrong with it. Normal people would hesitate for a long time to say anything about it.

But Tian Chongfo took it for granted that it was spirit beast meat, and even ate it raw without any cooking methods.

The two of them vaguely guessed that there might be some demonic power on that piece of meat, it was deliberately tempting Tian Chong Buddha to eat him.

"Senior Lu, there are records in the practice world that Tian Chong Buddha's cultivation has reached the stage of crossing the catastrophe, and he was more than five thousand years old when he passed away. Could it be that he was not affected by this flesh?"

Lin Qingyu asked.

"Of course it was affected."

Lu Xuan said:
"After Tian Chong Buddha became enlightened, he often said to himself that he had gone the wrong way and could not see the real Buddha. In his later years, he often fell into a state of insanity, and often mentioned the name [Tai Sui Xing Jun]."

"The God of Taisui...isn't he from the Daoist sect?"

Chu Qian was puzzled.

"Kongwen mentioned in the letter that the 'spiritual beast meat' that his master ate was the corpse of Tai Sui Xingjun."

Lu Xuan picked up the teacup and took a sip:
"Tai Sui Xingjun fell for some reason, and a corpse containing his spirituality fell to the Cangyuan Realm, and was eaten by Tian Chongfo, who was still a mortal at that time, and continued to grow as his cultivation level improved...

This should be some kind of resurrection method. Tai Sui Xingjun tried to return in this way and resurrected in Tian Chongfo's body.

It's a pity that He underestimated the wisdom of 'mortals'. Tian Chong Buddha has risen in the infancy, and he has practiced Buddhism for many years. How can he not see His means?
After realizing that Taisui Xingjun's existence became clearer and tried to occupy his body, Tian Chongfo chose to kill himself and died with him. "

Chu Qian and Lin Qingyu were both shocked when they heard the words, the Buddha Lord of Tianchong Temple was really decisive in doing things.

Lu Xuan nodded:
"I am afraid that Tian Chongfo has already planned this matter for many years. He told his personal disciple Kong Wen everything about himself and Tai Sui Xingjun.

During so many years of fighting Taisui Xingjun, Tian Chongfo also found a real "road to Buddhahood".

He used his own body to cultivate a new kind of 'Tai Sui', which is the kind of black jelly you see.

In his handbook, Kong Wen called the fat-like substance with a strange fragrance "Meat Tai Sui", and the new black substance he called "Black Tai Sui".

Unlike meat Tai Sui, Black Tai Sui has a stronger assimilation ability and grows faster.

Under this premise, Tian Chongfo designed to lure the Elder Huxin of Lingmei Sect into the temple.

The reason why she was chosen as the target is that Elder Huoxin has already achieved a small success in the [Xuanmu Pregnant Spirit Chapter], and her physique is very suitable as a breeding ground for cultivating true Buddhas.

After Elder Huoxin was trained and became a [Tai Sui Bodhisattva], Tian Chong Buddha killed himself, and fed himself the body of Tai Sui, who had become a fleshy body, to that monster like a mountain of meat.

The meat Taisui contains spirituality, which can corrode the flesh and blood of living beings, but it has nothing to do with the same origin as the black Taisui.

He wants his disciples to use Tai Sui Bodhisattva to become a [Reincarnated True Buddha] and see the scenery of that realm for him. "

After Lu Xuan finished telling the story of Tian Chongfo, Chu Qian and Lin Qingyu were still immersed in it, unable to recover for a long time.

"Tian Chongfo is also a genius, but unfortunately he went the wrong way."

Cheng Lingzhu sighed.

This is a story of a man's struggle with God.

If Lu Xuan hadn't been present today, Cheng Lingzhu had no doubts that Kong Wen would really become the "Reincarnated True Buddha" imagined by Tian Chong Buddha.

But if you want to truly become a Buddha with immeasurable power, it is far from enough to rely on the offerings of Tai Sui Bodhisattva.

In the calculation of Tianchong Buddha, in order to achieve a perfect level, all the common people and monks in the territory of Tianchong Temple must be refined, so that their bodies can be integrated into the body of Tai Sui Bodhisattva, so as to provide enough nourishment for the true Buddha.

………………

"Knock, knock, knock..."

There was a knock on the door, and the woman in rough cloth put down her needlework, picked up the oil lamp from the table, and walked out of the room.

This is a farmyard.

The yard is not big, but it is well-organized, with piled up firewood, wheat ears to dry, and a well that is one foot above the ground...

At a glance, it is no different from the residence of ordinary farmers.

However, if you look closely, you can find that there are strange patterns engraved on the walls of this small courtyard, forming a kind of formation.

The ears of wheat are not golden in color, but black, and even the platform of the well and the bucket used for fetching water are engraved with formations.

It seems to be guarding against something.

The woman came to the gate of the courtyard with an oil lamp, but she didn't open the door immediately.

"It's me, sister-in-law."

There was a sound from outside the courtyard door. Near the crack of the door, a light shone in and swayed three times.

Seeing this light, the woman felt a little relieved and opened the door latch.

A middle-aged man who also carried an oil lamp stood outside the door.

"...Hong Zhen, why are you here?"

Looking at the man, the woman's eyes were a little wary.

She stood at the door and didn't let him in.

"Tomorrow is the day to go hunting in the city."

The middle-aged man named Hong Zhen spoke. He glanced at the rye drying in the courtyard and raised his chin:

"Everyone's harvest is not good this year. The city lord said that the frequency of going out of the city should be increased. If we don't collect more food, this winter may be difficult."

The woman's complexion changed slightly when she heard the words.

She glanced at the inner room, her lips moved:

"Then... our family's He Zhao..."

Hong Zhen smiled:
"I'm here to inform you that Xiao Zhao is old enough. He will join us in the hunt the day after tomorrow."

Even though she had been prepared in her heart, after hearing this sentence, the woman still covered her mouth and her body trembled slightly.

"Everyone has to go out of the city to find food, and your family is naturally nothing special."

A bit of impatience appeared on Hong Zhen's face, and he handed over the thing in his hand, but it turned out to be a piece of blackened dried meat:

"No, this is for your family photo."

The woman looked at the thin and black piece of dried meat in his hand, and instead of taking it immediately, she frowned:

"A few days ago, I saw that the dried meat at Xiaofan's house was much bigger than this one. How come there is only such a small one at our house?"

"The big ones are all over."

Hong Zhen spread his hands, shrugged, and said with a smile:
"I'm so sorry, sister-in-law."

But the expression on his face seemed to say that he did it on purpose.

The woman lowered her head and took a deep breath. Of course she also knew that this was the other party's tricks.

Every family that goes hunting for the first time in the city will be given a piece of jerky, which is a rule passed down a long time ago.

In Mengxu City, it is extremely dangerous to leave the city and go hunting outside.

There is no danger in the city during the day, and lights can be lit at night to disperse those evil spirits called "Nightmare".

But once they leave the city gate, what greets the residents of Mengxu City is endless darkness and monsters lurking in the darkness.

In a sense, this piece of jerky is equivalent to the "life money" of the hunters.

The woman's husband died on a hunting mission out of the city.

Hong Zhen's uncle is Lizheng here, in charge of distributing the dried meat.

Giving such a small piece of dried meat to the woman was obviously in collusion with Hong Zhen.

The woman knew in her heart that since her husband died, Hong Zhen had been playing with her own ideas.

But the woman was not interested in him, and she even suspected that Hong Zhen had something to do with her husband's death.

Her husband was much stronger than Hong Zhen, but they carried out the hunting mission together, and it was Hong Zhen who came back alive.

He told the woman that her husband had died at the mouth of the Nightmare.

But the woman clearly remembered that her husband had said before leaving home that the place they were going to explore was safe and had been cleared out long ago, there would be no nightmares.

Hong Zhen couldn't pursue him, so he started to make things difficult for the other party. Although he didn't dare to force women due to city regulations, he used many small tricks on weekdays.

"Sister-in-law, why are you doing this?"

Hong Zhen leaned against the door frame:

"It's not like you don't know how dangerous it is outside the city. My younger brother will also participate in the hunt the day after tomorrow. His strength is very strong.

If you follow me, your family He Zhao will have someone to take care of you the day after tomorrow, right?Otherwise, wait until outside the city, in case something happens... Tsk tsk tsk. "

Hong Zhen smiled, but there was a coldness in his eyes.
