Immortality is above

Chapter 112 Chapter 111: Pierce the Buddha

Chen Liubai jumped up with his sword in hand, and in a blink of an eye, he was on top of the huge golden statue of the god.

It looked like an ant attached to the elephant's body, and soon became a small black dot.

Immediately, sword light was activated, shining brightly like lightning across the night sky.

Taoist Qingyang below saw it and was quite dazzled. He had never seen the sword light so bright and dazzling.

The poem goes, "One sword lights up fourteen states", which is used to describe the swordsmanship of the sword immortal. However, in this secular world, there are many rumors about "immortals", but they have never really appeared.

So, is this Chen Liubai the legendary swordsman?

In addition, who is he going to fight when he flies up?

Is this statue golden?

Taoist Qingyang couldn't help but think of many terrible rumors about Xishan, Tianlong Temple, and Ksitigarbha Buddha. The main thing they said was that this Buddha is located here, and is admired and worshiped by believers day and night, and continuously absorbs the power of incense and thought. , so he cultivated to perfection and produced a "spirit".

The Taoist accepted and believed this statement. After all, he had suffered deeply from it and therefore left Zhuxian Temple.

In the urban and rural areas, there are countless descriptions and insights about "spirits". Generally speaking, demons and evil spirits can be considered as "spirits".

Birds and beasts have their spirits turned into monsters, and strange things have their spirits turned into evil spirits.

As for the statues of gods, when they possess spirituality, they evolve in the direction of gods, such as earth gods, mountain gods, and city gods.

These are all righteous gods who have formed a system and received formal imperial titles.

However, in the State of Zhao, the immortals disappeared and the gods disappeared completely. Even though there was incense, there was almost no efficacious effect.

In the end, trouble broke out, but it was all caused by evil spirits.

Therefore, some people have long said that since the arrival of the black moon many years ago, the world has been in turmoil and a great disaster has occurred.

The phenomenon manifested by the so-called "Great Tribulation" is "the path to immortality is cut off, gods collapse, evil spirits cause chaos", etc.

Taoist Qingyang originally believed that the conflict between Tianlong Temple and Zhuxian Temple was part of the "dispute between Taoism and Buddhism", which would rise and fall normally.

But now it seems that it is not that simple at all.

The "sacrifice trap" mentioned by Qian Yang Lao Tao is definitely not the right way. We can only draw one conclusion, that is, the spirit condensed in Ksitigarbha Buddha's body is by no means a "good god", but a "demon evil".

What is the shape of the evil spirit?

No matter how wide Taoist Qingyang opens his eyes, he can't see it. If he looks too much, he will even be oppressed by the huge golden body, and he will have the urge to worship it.

Although he practices Taoism, he still has Buddha in his heart.

In the past, it was precisely because I couldn't bear the pressure that I left Xishan.

In fact, his performance so far has been considered good.

Senior brother Qian Yang was showing signs of going crazy again and kept mumbling; Ye Huosheng was sitting cross-legged on the ground with a heavy sword in front of him, his eyes closed tightly, a look of pain on his face, and he had been struggling to support himself. .

As for the martial arts warriors, they dispersed early and fled down the mountain one after another. However, the shrill screams coming from the mountains made people shudder.

Taoist Qingyang knew clearly that it was not a wise move to escape down the mountain at this time.

Sure enough, with a swish and a swish of movement, several warriors fled back to the mountain.

There were bruises and bloodstains on their bodies, and their clothes were torn by unknown scratches, making them look very embarrassed.

After these warriors came back, they looked around and weighed the pros and cons. They did not move towards Xia Siyuan, but towards Taoist Qingyang and stood side by side.

The reason is very simple. The situation on Xia Siyuan's side is quite bad:

Before going up to the West Mountain, he regarded the tall golden statue of Ksitigarbha Buddha as a thorn in his side and wanted to knock it down. However, the statue was so tall that even with thousands of armors, it could be easily destroyed in a short time. It can't be shaken.

I can only think of giving up for the time being, carving up Tianlong Temple first, and then deal with the golden body of the Buddha.

Unexpectedly, the situation developed unexpectedly, and everything turned out to be a trap.

So the question is, if Xishan is a trap, what about the Forbidden City?

Xia Siyuan didn't dare to think about it, and he had no time to think too much. After all, he was currently in a dilemma. He was already crossing the river like a clay Buddha and could not save himself.

Amidst the loud chanting, the soldiers under his command lost their minds and were killing each other. They even fell to their knees and screamed, "I have sinned deeply and I must die to apologize for my sins"...

Of course, there are still many people who are not lost, can still maintain their sanity, and form spontaneous formations.

But no one can guarantee how long this sober state can last. Who knows who in the team will go crazy at the next moment and slash at his colleagues with a knife?

It’s not that we don’t trust it, but that we can learn from the past.

When this kind of suspicion and suspicion arises, it will soon expand and expand in the sound of chanting.

Xia Siyuan was not stupid, and he immediately figured out what was causing the disaster caused by the chanting:

All incidents are caused by delusions in the mind.

Zhan Chi and the others were burned to death by the fire of karma, which is greed; soldiers in armor and soldiers fighting in the same room are killing and calamity...

These things can be called the Buddhist precepts. They are commonplace and scary when applied to the Dharma.

It can be said that no one is free from delusions, and if he can truly be clean, then he is a saint.

But even the great Confucian who has read many books of sages dare not call him a "sage". Who can cut off the seven emotions and six desires?

Therefore, even if he knew the source of the trouble, Xia Siyuan was at a loss to come up with any good solution.

For the current plan, we can only look to Chen Liubai to see if this young man with mysterious origins and mastery of swordsmanship can chop off the golden body of the Buddha statue...

……

"Wang Kong, when things come to an end, are you still here pretending to be a ghost?"

In the main hall of the Reincarnation Hall, Zhao Bin shouted righteously and sternly.

Master Yuan Kong sitting on the stage still sat upright and said nothing.

"kill!"

Zhao Bin no longer hesitated and ordered in a deep voice.

The elite soldiers did not hesitate, raised their swords and spears, and stabbed at the neatly arranged monks.

puff!puff!

The sound that came was not like a sharp weapon being pierced into flesh, but like being stuck on a pile of tattered cotton wool, soft and without any force.

He stretched out his hand and pulled it open, and found that all the monks were left with only shells, which were completely held up by a thin skin. Then they wore monk robes on the outside, making them look lifelike.

This discovery made the soldiers feel horrified and screamed.

Zhao Bin was also surprised. At first he thought the monks' flesh and blood had been eaten by evil spirits, but after careful inspection, he found that it was not the case, but rather that they had practiced some evil method, as if they were cicadas.

The golden cicada escapes from its shell!

Remove the flesh and blood, leaving only a shell.

What kind of weird method is this?

Where did the flesh and blood go?

The more Zhao Bin thought about it, the more frightened he became. He quickly went up to check on the most important thing, Yuan Kong.

I immediately discovered that this was just a shell.

Before coming here, Zhao Bin had made all kinds of preparations, and regarded Wan Kong as a demon monk who had brought disaster to the country and the people, and was preparing for a battle, but the current scene was weird and strange, catching people off guard.

Mr. Lu Da reached out and fumbled around in Yuan Kong's skin bag. He pulled his hand out and looked at the faint red color on his fingers. When he smelled it, there was a faint smell of blood.

The smell is not bad, it looks fresh, as if the flesh and blood inside has just faded away.

His face became serious and his brows furrowed.

Zhao Bin asked: "Sir, this method is the 'leather bag' and the 'contemplation of impurity' that the Buddhists often talk about?"

He was by no means an unlearned person, and he immediately made guesses and inferences.

Mr. Lu Da pondered: "From a humble point of view, it is more like a way of cultivating blood food."

"Cultivation of blood food?"

Zhao Bin was very surprised.

In the Kingdom of Zhao, on the journey of martial arts, the innate master is the end point. As for the immortal way, it is a vague legend.

However, the Xiantian Grandmaster itself covers a relatively broad category, as long as it has crossed the threshold of Xiao Zhoutian.

After passing through, continue to open more meridians and acupuncture points, and your strength will increase. The key to a normal warrior's innate breakthrough lies in blood food; the key factor for an innate master to advance further is also blood food.

Only by continuously supplementing blood food can qi and blood be adequately replenished, and then the opportunity for breakthrough can be achieved.

The "blood" in blood food refers to the meaning of qi and blood.

However, it is difficult to achieve this effect with ordinary meat and refined foods. If you rely solely on accumulation, you will stop advancing and retreat when you get older.

Cultivation is all about efficiency.

Blood food has naturally become an extremely important cultivation resource. It is important and rare. In addition to hunting monsters, there is another way to feed them.

Hunting monsters are in danger of being backlashed, and the cost of raising them is even more significant and beyond imagination: breeding, feeding, care, etc.

The cost of raising one exotic beast can be used to raise hundreds of elite soldiers.

Therefore, in the huge Zhao Kingdom, those who can support blood and food are Baidi City, Xuanjian Sect and other sects.

Zhao Bin has a secret manor where he keeps several strange beasts. In order to entertain a group of martial arts masters at Wenwuxuan, one was slaughtered today as the main dish for the guests.

Because he had raised them before, he knew some ways of cultivating blood food.

If the monks headed by Yuan Kong in front of them were raised as blood food, that would be beyond imagination and appalling.

So, who ate them?

Mr. Lu Da raised his eyes and looked around: "Your Highness, this place is dark and ghostly. Everything is irrational and full of foreboding. How about we go out first?"

At this time, Zhao Bin began to retreat in his heart, but after thinking about it, he said solemnly: "I want to find my father's body first."

His plan was to move the body out, then burn the palace with fire and raze it to the ground.

Seeing his persistence, Mr. Lu stopped trying to persuade him and ordered the soldiers to continue searching.

"found it!"

A report came from the front.

Behind the main hall is an apse. The door was originally closed, but it was opened by soldiers.

It was not completely dark inside, but there was a burning lamp. Where the lamp was, there was a golden Buddha statue, in the palm of the golden body.

Hold the lamp in your palm.

In front of the golden body of the Buddha statue, there is a large dragon bed. On the bed, a person is lying, covered not with a quilt, but with a brocade cassock.

This man has all white hair and is too old to look like. He is Emperor Yankang.

The holy body is here. Of course, the soldiers in armor dare not act recklessly and guard the door obediently, waiting for Zhao Bin to make arrangements.

Although I thought that my father would die soon, and although I had long wanted to replace him, when it came to this point, it was a different attitude.

Benevolence, righteousness, filial piety, and patriarchal status all bound Zhao Bin. Even if he was just pretending, he had to act sad.

So after he came in, he immediately knelt down in front of the dragon bed and burst into tears.

Mr. Lu Da stood behind. His attention was not on Emperor Yankang's body, but on the golden body of the Buddha.

In the entire Reincarnation Hall, there was a real Buddha statue placed in so many places.

This image is not small, and the top of its head almost reaches the roof. It is standing, but it is not standing directly on the ground, but standing on a green lotus platform.

Holding a tin staff in one hand and a jewel in the other.

And the orb was cleverly designed to look like a lamp.

It's the ever-burning light.

Looking at the face and shape of the Buddha statue, Mr. Lu Da recognized it: Isn’t this the Ksitigarbha Buddha?

The appearance is exactly the same as the one standing at Tianlong Temple in Xishan Mountain.

It's just much smaller in size.

Moreover, one is a sitting Buddha and the other is standing.

Mr. Lu Da then noticed that beside the Buddha statue, there was an animal statue squatting there like a dog, with a tiger head, a single horn, and dog ears...

This is the spiritual beast listening.

Judging from the physical appearance of the entire golden body of the Buddha statue, it is very reasonable and has no problems.

Since this place is called the "Reincarnation Hall", it is very reasonable to place a statue of Ksitigarbha here.

As Zhao Bin's most relied-upon think tank, Mr. Lu Da has extensive research in Buddhism, and he also has a multi-faceted understanding of Emperor Yankang's mental journey.

Emperor Yankang first believed in the Taoism, hoping to find the secret to immortality on the road. He took many elixirs, but once, after taking one elixir, he almost belched.

Fortunately, he was saved by the imperial doctor.

Immediately ordered Jingyesi to investigate the elixir Taoist priest. After an investigation, it was found that it was related to the eldest prince who was regarded as the prince.

The case was very involved, and hundreds of people were killed in the end.

From then on, his temperament changed drastically. He no longer believed in Buddhism and turned to Buddhism.

The Buddhists do not have a theory of immortality, but there is a way of reincarnation.

This should be the starting point for establishing this reincarnation hall and praying for blessings here.

Emperor Yankang knew that he would not live long, but he hoped that he could be reincarnated and live another life, no, it should be ten more lives.

The reincarnation of ten lives is a legend and allusion of the Buddhist family and became a matter of the Buddha.

Driven by this, he does all kinds of ridiculous things.

Now that he is dead, has he entered reincarnation?

Mr. Lu Da is skeptical about this, because it is recorded in the classics that there are many things to pay attention to when entering reincarnation, and it is not something you can enter just because you want to.

What's more, there is also the theory of the six realms. If you enter the evil realms of the animal realm, wouldn't it be too late to cry?

All in all, these are unreliable things. In addition, the layout and arrangement here are inconsistent with etiquette and messed up.

I doubt very much what kind of method the national master Yuan Kong used to make arrangements for Emperor Yankang.

Did he deceive Yankang?

Or did Yankang do it on purpose?

Mr. Lu Da was confused.

There was a roar, as if an earth dragon turned over, and the whole palace shook.

"Protect His Highness!"

He immediately shouted anxiously.

In the current situation, the prosperity and wealth of these people are all tied to Zhao Bin, and there is no room for loss.

Ga za ga za!

There was a strange sound of a mechanism turning.

The next moment, the eyes of the golden body of Ksitigarbha Buddha turned, and a strange light flashed out. It seemed that it was shocked and suddenly came to life.

……

At the same time, at the top of Xishan Mountain, there was a sword light galloping, hitting the golden body's eye, and piercing it fiercely.
