The world of Taoism

Chapter 417 The Arhat

There was a loud voice in the sky.

The pair of big hands of the Lord of Taishan disappeared immediately.

The sound came from far and near, and then spread in all directions.

It was as if someone was standing in all directions and speaking this voice.

And there is no trace of any spells, just this sentence alone makes this powerful attack disappear in smoke.

Da Yen Magneto Light didn't even disappear directly with the power to resist.

"Who is it?" The Lord of Taishan was shocked and angry.

"It's hard to go downhill." The voice came from far to near.

A colorful light flew from the sky.

This is a colorful auspicious cloud, on which stands a man wearing linen clothes, bronze skin, and many scars on his body.

This man is suffering.

An hour ago, this guy was still a corpse, but now he has been resurrected with full blood.

"Work hard!"

Xingzhi, who was watching in the dark, exclaimed.

This guy has been watching from the beginning, but due to the limitations of his physical body, he has no way to influence the outside world, so he can't help Zhou Xuan and the others.

Can only watch from the sidelines.

What happened now made him unable to watch, the brother he hadn't seen for many years suddenly came back to life.

If it is reincarnated, it will be fine, the key is to resurrect in situ.

This means that he has entered the incredible state of Arhatship.

Possess incredible supernatural powers, so he has this ability to resurrect from the dead.

Hearing the voice of Xingzhi, Xingku stared at the golden ball floating above Zhou Xuan's head in surprise.

"Excuse me, are you Junior Brother Xingzhi?"

Zhou Xuan was a little surprised that Xingku could speak Chinese fluently. He thought this guy was from Tianzhu, so he probably couldn't speak Chinese.

Even if he can speak, he is not that fluent, and he feels like a native of the Central Plains.

Moreover, although he has some foreign blood in appearance, he is still a little more Han.

Zhou Xuan met three ascetic monks, and all three of them were mostly of Han blood, which was really strange.

Moreover, this group of people seemed to have something to do with the civilization of the ancient Shu Kingdom, which made Zhou Xuan more interested.

"It is indeed me, I am Xingzhi."

Xingzhi excitedly told what had happened in the past few days.

"It turns out that you are not an enemy." Xing Kuan nodded kindly to Du Du, and Zhou Xuan also returned the salute, "Why don't we join hands together, if this person lets him harm the world, it will be a great disaster."

"Of course." Zhou Xuan said.

This old monster who didn't know how long he had lived seemed to be quite easy to get along with.

But it is.

One of the most basic abilities of an ascetic is to be patient.

Endure physical pain, endure other people's indifference, and endure all things that ordinary people cannot endure.

People with a bad temper would have been pissed off a long time ago, how could they endure it until now.

So this was just Zhou Xuan's misunderstanding of them.

There was another thunder in the sky.

An incomparably huge hand pressed down from the crowd!
Fearless in suffering, put your palms together, and read the word just now again.

The moment this word is pronounced, it seems that the whole world has changed, everything is centered on suffering, and all things in nature are around, waiting to be dispatched.

It was as if everything had frozen, except for the man in the middle.

This one person affects the whole world and shakes the world.

This is a strange power, not a spell, nor aura of heaven and earth, but it can affect the world.

Leverage the most fundamental rules of the world.

There is no trace of external force at all, but the premise of releasing all spells is basically conditional, and will leave a trace in this world.

For example, Zhou Xuan must use innate qi to cast spells.

And the ascetic monk in front of him called Xingku didn't have any trace of using power.

It seems that the whole world runs naturally, and has nothing to do with oneself.

This level of power control is simply unheard of.

At this time, Zhou Xuan and others also made a move.

With the helper of suffering,

Everyone's response became much easier. Although the Lord of Taishan is powerful, he can't help them.

However, it seems that the Lord of Taishan will not be exhausted. As time goes by, everyone's strength is limited after all, and it will be another situation at that time.

"See how long you can last." The Lord of Taishan smiled triumphantly in the sky.

Furui Wubo's smile was on Xingku's face, when the attack was about to hit him on the head, the world around him suddenly changed.

The dark sky turned into day.

This is a pine forest.

Xing Ku sat under the pine forest, and white cranes flew by in the sky from time to time.

The breeze blew over the branches, making a rustling sound, leaving pine nuts all over the place.

Ants on the ground were carrying pine nuts, and crickets chirped in the fallen leaves.

With a peaceful face, he sat among the pine forests.

The noisy outside world is in stark contrast to the peaceful hard work.

Songhe Yannian!

This trace of Zen is called Songhe Yannian.

There is no aggressiveness, no strong aura is revealed, and no dangerous crisis is hidden at all.

It's just a plain picture.

But it is this plain picture that can defuse the attacks of the Lord of Taishan many times.

No matter what kind of power the Lord of Mount Tai used, as long as he hit it in the world of Songhe Yanniantu, it would be like a breeze blowing over the hills, and he would remain motionless.

Xingku still closed his eyes tightly and did not launch a counterattack.

Above the sky, the Lord of Mount Tai who doesn't know where is furious, as if on a par with Xingku, the attacks fell one after another, and the whole world flickered.

He didn't care about other people at all. As far as he was concerned, as long as he didn't take the initiative to show up, Zhou Xuan and others would have no chance of finding him, so how could he dare to compete with himself.

Zhou Xuan and others had already been taken down, and it wasn't because of hard work, Zhou Xuan was probably already wiped out, how could he survive until now.

As long as the guy in front of him is solved, then everything can be solved.

Boom boom boom!

A series of spells came down.

The magnetic light of the Great Yen filled the entire sky, carrying high-energy heat, washing down like a waterfall.

Even so, it has no effect on Songhe Yannian below.

Xingku is still calm, as if nothing has changed.

The only change might be a little more fallen leaves on the ground.

At this time, Xingku suddenly opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and said: "Your Excellency Zhou Xuan, if you don't take action now, when will you wait!"

"it is good!"

A ray of lightning pierced the starry sky.

"Overestimating one's abilities." A disdainful snort came from the sky.

The other party is still so stupid, unwilling to give up, and also unrepentant.

Until now, I still don't understand that eliminating these external forces is useless.

It itself is an invisible and qualityless thing, and everything outside is illusory, and it can be resurrected in an instant no matter how many times it is destroyed, without being affected at all.

What Zhou Xuan did was just seeking his own death, or in other words, he was beyond his control.

Although this purple divine thunder is powerful, it can't hit him, and the Lord of Taishan doesn't even want to talk to him.

At this moment, the thunder and lightning suddenly changed direction.

In the next second, the face of the Lord of Taishan changed.

"what!"

The Lord of Taishan felt a sense of extreme danger in his heart. He suddenly discovered that the direction of the lightning was extremely tricky, and it was faintly pointing to a certain place.

There is only one open space channel left!

"Do not!!"

The Lord of Taishan's eyes were tearing apart, and he roared loudly, wanting to stop all this.

It's a pity that it was too late, the thunder and lightning blasted the space channel to pieces.

After the space channel exploded, Xingku clasped his palms together, and Songhe Yannian stretched out, outlining an outline in the air.

This is the body of the Lord of Taishan.

A golden dragon roared up to the sky, and a white tiger came riding the clouds.

Under the attack of the dragon and the tiger, the invisible and intangible things lingering in the sky suddenly disappeared.

"It's finally over," Zhou Xuan said.

After the hard work absorbed most of the firepower, Zhou Xuan finally figured out one thing.

The Lord of Mount Tai is one of the masters of the Underworld.

If the masters of the Underworld could come to the human world casually, then this world would have been theirs long ago.

In other words, there should be some restrictions on these things coming to the world, and it is impossible to come casually.

The biggest possibility is to open a channel to transmit part of his own strength.

According to this line of thinking, Zhou Xuan finally found a passage from the Underworld to the human world.

The Lord of Taishan also came out through this passage.

So after cutting off the passage, the Lord of Taishan really lost most of his strength, showed his original shape, and was finally eliminated by himself.

Of course, Zhou Xuan didn't think that the Lord of Taishan was dead.

The biggest possibility is that this guy didn't use his real body to come here, but only a part of his strength.

But no matter what, it must be a serious injury, and it is impossible to add trouble to himself for a while.

too mountain.

The structure of the Underworld is similar to a pyramid.

This place is located at the lower end of the Netherworld. If you enter the Netherworld, you will be the first to step into this place.

The deeper you go into the netherworld, the stronger the demons and ghosts inside.

Netherworld has existed since the moment the world was created.

I don't know how many years the filthy air of the world has been accumulating, and it has already formed a huge number.

At this time, there was an earth-shattering roar from the headquarters of the demons and ghosts.

The roar formed a transparent wave, spreading tens of thousands of miles around, and millions of demons and ghosts were instantly wiped out.

At the very center of the world is a huge mountain range.

The mountain range is black as a whole, and the part above the mountainside is surrounded by thick black fog, making it impossible to see the buildings above it clearly.

A man with gray skin stood on a high platform.

Standing tall in the clouds, this high platform offers a panoramic view of the entire world.

The roar came from the Lord of Mount Tai. This guy's face was ashen and his eyes were dull. It seemed that Zhou Xuan's blow also hurt him a lot.

The Lord of Taishan stared at the void, as if penetrating the entire world, and fixed on Zhou Xuan.

He didn't expect that he would fall into such a big somersault, this time it directly weakened [-]% of his strength.

"Very good, I remember you." The Lord of Taishan smiled half a smile.

If it wasn't for the fact that the environment in the human world was not enough for it to descend, Zhou Xuan and the others would have been wiped out long ago.

It is not the character of the Lord of Taishan not to take revenge.

Thinking of this, the Lord of Taishan decided to mobilize the power of the whole world to give Zhou Xuan a ruthless blow.

There is an undercurrent surging in the nether world, but no one knows about it.

After the Lord of Mount Tai disappeared, Songhe Yannian also disappeared.

Xingku sat on the spot alone, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, his chest didn't heave, as if he had turned into a corpse.

"Your Excellency, are you okay?" Zhou Xuan stepped forward and said.

As soon as the words fell, Xing Ku opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

After spitting out blood, his whole complexion became much better.

"It's okay, if you didn't take action just now, I might die." Xing Ku said.

It was relatively weak just after being resurrected.

Although he has attained the Arhat status, he won't be able to exert much power for a while.

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, the whole person relaxed a lot.

Xingku stood up slowly, declined Zhou Xuan's support, and said with a smile, "It's just a minor injury. Practitioners pay attention to patience, concentration, and wisdom. You can still do this little thing by yourself."

"Which god do you worship?" Zhou Xuan chatted casually.

Zhou Xuanting wanted to know the difference between the ascetic monks in this world and the monks in the previous life.

Hearing the words, Xingku was a little puzzled, and said: "Why worship gods? It is not advisable to stick to wooden sculptures and statues. Always introspect and polish yourself is the right way. We have never asked to worship any gods."

"So it is." Zhou Xuan suddenly realized.

This should be the beginning of the monk.

The ascetic monks at the beginning advocated self-improvement and advocated the use of "precepts, tranquility and wisdom" to improve themselves and save sentient beings.

In general, compared to worshiping gods and superstition, they are more willing to explore the Dao and the true meaning of "the accumulation of suffering and the destruction of Tao".

"Then what is an arhat? What is the world corresponding to the practitioners in the Central Plains?"

"Arhat includes the meanings of killing thieves, being inanimate, and being worthy of offerings. To kill thieves is to kill the thieves who have exhausted afflictions. To be inanimate is to be liberated from life and death, and to be offered is to receive offerings from heaven and earth."

Regarding Zhou Xuan's question, he knew everything about suffering.

There are not so many secrets in the cultivation path of the ascetic monk, and in fact there is no specific cultivation method, it all depends on personal perception.

Although they came from the same school as other ascetic monks, most of their paths of practice are different.

"If it corresponds to the realm of the Central Plains, it should be the stage of ascension to immortality." Xingku clasped his palms together, and there was a slight fluctuation on his expressionless face.

After sitting for hundreds of years, finally attaining Arhatship, this is not exciting.

Zhou Xuan and Xingku chatted a lot, all about their cultivation path.

Strange to say, those who practice suffering are not physical bodies, nor are they so-called souls.

Generally speaking, it should be a kind of philosophical speculation.

It is to understand some things, such as the most famous "the accumulation of suffering and the destruction of Tao", "Eightfold Path" and so on.

These are not concepts on paper, but require everyone to think in a way of precepts, concentration and wisdom.

This kind of cultivation path may not show any hair after decades of cultivation.

However, once enlightened, it will be a different situation, no need to practice, supernatural powers will be born naturally, such as suffering and knowing are examples.

"Your Excellency came from Tianzhu? I don't know what use this cultural relic of our Central Plains is to you." Zhou Xuan asked again.

This is what he was most puzzled about. People on both sides seem to have an irreconcilable relationship, so why did they get connected.

Next, Xing Ku told a fact that shocked Zhou Xuan.
