Chapter 219: The Test of the Phantom Buddha

Just when Hong Tianbao was in a dilemma, the fire spirit needle in the Five Elements Spirit Needle in his body suddenly vibrate. Hong Tianbao could feel its excitement, as if he was eager to come out.

"Do you have a way?" Hong Tianbao summoned the fire spirit needle.

The Fire Spirit Needle swooped down on the nearest pillar, absorbing the surrounding fire energy as it flew. It may be too slow, the fire spirit needle is transformed, and in an instant, all around is the phantom of the fire spirit needle. After a while, the fire subsided, and the fire spirit needle turned bright red, and it circled in the air a few times, and then disappeared into Hong Tianbao's body. A burst of blue gas flashed, the flames on all the pillars swept away, and the huge pillars turned into translucent sky blue, and in an instant, Hong Tianbao felt that the surroundings were full of life.

He found that the Fire Spirit Needle was now undergoing a metamorphosis, and it was originally just a medium-grade spirit weapon. After absorbing the fire energy here, the fire spirit needles are almost close to the best spirit weapons.

A fiery red crystal maple tree slowly flew in, and the maple tree hovered in front of Hong Tianbao. It is a three-meter-tall, thigh-thick maple tree, and its color is extremely beautiful, like a mangrove tree in autumn, giving it a stunning feeling. On top of the maple tree lurked two strange monsters, which seemed to be sleeping now.

The leaves on the maple tree Hong Tianbao felt strange in his heart, these leaves were exactly the same as the one he had obtained before. In other words, the maple leaves of the whole tree are a pattern, and even the veins of the leaves are not bad at all. Who says you can't find two identical leaves? Isn't that what you're looking for?

Hong Tianbao took out the maple leaf he got, and always felt that the maple leaf was the key. While he was still thinking about what to do, the maple tree rose up automatically without wind and began to sway from side to side.

The two monsters lying on it also opened their eyes, and four rays of light shot towards Hong Tianbao. At the same time, two monsters flew up. Hong Tianbao felt very strange, and he had a feeling in his heart that these two monsters would not attack him.

At this time, the maple leaf in his hand immediately broke free from Hong Tianbao's control and flew to the top of the maple tree. To Hong Tianbao's surprise, the leaf seemed to be part of the maple tree originally. I saw that the leaves merged with the maple tree, and the entire maple tree instantly burst out with powerful energy, and Hong Tianbao was immediately repelled by this flood of energy.

And the two monsters flying in the air immediately blocked in front of Hong Tianbao, so that Hong Tianbao was spared.

Countless lines of fiery red light scattered, like brilliant fireworks. The earth-shattering thunder sounded again, and its intensity was like the beating of thousands of war drums at the same time. It was very amazing, and Hong Tianbao also had to fight with his luck. A fiery red mist tightly enveloped Hong Tianbao, and before he could react, it quickly brought him to the center of the pillars. At the moment when Hong Tianbao arrived at the eye of the array, all the thunder, lightning, and red rays dissipated, and everything returned to its original state.

At this time, the maple tree just now floated over again. The maple tree immediately transformed into a Buddha statue, and under Hong Tianbao's astonished gaze, the Buddha statue actually spoke.

"Hello, you are destined!"

"Someone who is destined? Me? Hong Tianbao touched his head, this classic dialogue seems to be often seen in movies and novels, right?

"Huh! Yes, with your low ability, you can break into here, isn't it fateful? ”

Hong Tianbao nodded as if he didn't understand, and then asked, "Then who are you?" What kind of place is this? How to get out? Hong Tianbao asked three questions in a row that he was most concerned about.

"Amitabha! Don't worry, let the old man come together. The two long eyebrows of the illusory Buddha statue fluttered up.

"Where is this place, the donor should know that this is the realm of the Illusory Buddha. It is the dojo of the Phantom Buddha, but it has been sealed underground by the Phantom Buddha for countless years. I am an elder under the Illusory Buddha Seat, and you can call me Elder Hui. Ever since the Phantom Buddha sealed this, the Phantom Buddha has asked me to separate a trace of spiritual consciousness and wait for this Phantom Buddha realm, waiting for someone who is destined to do so. Elder Hui said with a smile.

"And after that?" Hong Tianbao then asked.

"Huh! As long as you think about it, you will get a reward, as well as a mysterious gift left by the Phantom Buddha. Elder Hui said.

"What? Haven't passed the test yet? Hong Tianbao was shocked, those just now were not a test? They were almost dead.

"Those just now don't count, they are just a small obstacle to entering the realm of the Phantom Buddha. Of course, you can also give up, and I will send you out. But I advise you not to give up, because everyone only gets one chance. I can also reveal that the mysterious gift is a key to the ideal place. Elder Hui tempted.

"The ideal place? Where? Can you get that key and go there? Hong Tianbao immediately asked.

Elder Hui shook his head and said, "If you go to the ideal place in the future, you will naturally know that if you can't do it with this alone, you must gather five keys of gold, wood, fire, water, and earth to open the passage." This is all what the Phantom Buddha once said to me, and I don't know the specifics. Well, you have five minutes to decide. ”

Hong Tianbao was suddenly embarrassed, the gift was too tempting for him, and he wanted to break through. But the danger ahead reminded him not to take risks lightly. After hesitating for a while, Hong Tianbao finally nodded. He decided to break through the test left by the Phantom Buddha, and in today's cultivation environment, he was forced to make such a decision.

"Good! Don't be nervous, if you can get here, it means that you are destined to be a person, and you should be able to turn evil into good fortune. And the test ahead is actually an illusion, a test of the state of mind. Elder Hui comforted Hong Tianbao and said.

Hong Tianbao asked weakly: "If I can't break through, what will be the consequences?" ”

"Forever in the illusion." Hearing this, Hong Tianbao broke out in a cold sweat, and secretly said that there is no free lunch in the world! Chances often come with danger. The wisdom of human beings is just as applicable to the cultivation world.

"Ready, I will send you into the illusion, whether you can come out or not depends on your creation."

As soon as Elder Hui finished speaking, Hong Tianbao felt an irresistible force wrapped around his body, pulling him in one direction.

The moment Hong Tianbao stepped into the illusion, the scenery around him just now disappeared. The surrounding scenery suddenly changed, and Hong Tianbao found himself standing by a small stream with turbulent water, and he listened to the sound of "whooshing" water.

"Is this an illusion? It's so real! Looks pretty good, if there's a wooden bridge in front of it. It's perfect if there's a meadow on this side and wildflowers on it, and a jungle on the other. Hong Tianbao muttered.

As soon as his voice fell, the environment around him really changed. As he said, the creek in front of him built a delicate wooden bridge. To the left is a meadow overgrown with wildflowers, with countless pink butterflies flying on it. On the right is a jungle of thousands of purples and reds, and from time to time there is a burst of birds and beasts.

"Mom! This hellish place can read people's hearts. Hong Tianbao was taken aback.

Everything in the illusion seems so real, so real that you can't believe it. The birds flying in the sky chirp crisply, the breeze blows across your face, and you can smell the faint fragrance of flowers and trees and weeds. These were all things that he could feel with his physical touch, and he suspected that Elder Hui was lying to him just now. Hong Tianbao squatted down and grabbed a handful of dirt, he couldn't see any difference between it and ordinary dirt. After Hong Tianbao stepped into the illusion, he always felt incredible, everything around him was so real and believable. He was in no hurry to move forward, knowing that it was useless. The illusion is born from the heart, and he knows that as long as he gets out of his heart, he can solve this illusion.

Hong Tianbao thought about it again, and the environment also changed. The sky was full of yellow sand scattered with the wind, the land was barren, the roaring wind made a sharp roar, the sky darkened, and the dull thunder sounded in the distance, it was a sandstorm.

Seeing the sandstorm that pressed over, Hong Tianbao forgot that this was in an illusion, and ran away. The sandstorm behind him was getting faster and faster, and it didn't take long for him to drown him under Hong Tianbao's frightened gaze.

"Ah......h At this time, the overwhelming sandstorm suddenly disappeared without a trace. Hong Tianbao was standing in the room he rented with his mother when he was a child, he walked into his room, looked at the test paper on the desk that was close to full marks, and felt like he had a nightmare just now.

It's a fantasy from my heart, but I didn't remember my childhood just now! How so? Hong Tianbao was puzzled, the previous sandstorm was indeed accidentally thought of by himself, but now this scene doesn't seem to be thinking, right? He didn't know that this illusion of the Buddha was very powerful, even if you didn't want to, it could still dig into the deepest memories in your heart.

At this time, the illusion changed again, and he became a child, surrounded by many classmates, and a few of them pointed at themselves and scolded wild seeds. Hong Tianbao immediately became angry and immediately rushed up to beat those people.

"Don't fight! Don't fight! If you fight again, you'll die! Seeing a child's head tilted, Hong Tianbao reached out to probe and found that the guy had lost his breath, and immediately took a few steps back in fear.

"Kill someone! Hong Tianbao beat people to death! The men scattered with a bang.

"I ...... I...... I didn't mean to. Hong Tianbao suddenly held his head and cried out in pain.

At this moment, the environment around him changed again. Hong Tianbao was carrying a schoolbag, one hand was held by his mother, and he was rushing to his grandfather's house. While walking, my mother taught Hong Tianbao how to talk and do things when he went to his grandfather's house.

…… Hong Tianbao's environment kept changing, and he was about to collapse, feeling physically and mentally exhausted from his heart. He also realized that this was just an illusion and reminded himself to calm down and not to think wildly. But even when Hong Tianbao sat down to meditate and practice, the surrounding environment still changed. Even if Hong Tianbao closes his eyes, the surrounding environment will be reflected in his mind, and it is really pervasive.

Just when Hong Tianbao felt physically and mentally exhausted, there was a faint message from Luobao Qian, who had not reacted just now. told Hong Tianbao that he is not his real self now, he is also an illusion, and if he wants to break the illusion, he has to start with himself. Only by killing yourself will everything return to square one.

Hong Tianbao almost wanted to curse, this phantom Buddha's ghost idea is too damaged, right? If you have to commit suicide to get out, even a madman can't think of it, right? Who would commit suicide to a normal person? He didn't procrastinate, he took out a knife and plunged it into his heart, in fact, he was very afraid, if the inference of the treasure money was wrong, he might become the first immortal cultivator in the immortal cultivation world to commit suicide.

Fortunately, the treasure money is not inferred wrong. After Hong Tianbao's consciousness slowly blurred, his mind swelled, and when his eyes opened, he found himself in a hall.
