1174, the origin is a mystery
The Wheel King stood by the River Styx, the quiet and deep waters of the River Styx, reflecting the stars in the sky, almost becoming one with him.
I don't think I think that when I see the Wheel King in the Styx Realm, I feel like a "ghost".
Lingyu smiled when she saw it: "No wonder people are always called old ghosts, Uncle Han, you really look like a ghost when you look at it like this." β
The Wheel King chuckled, "I was originally a ghost. After a pause, "You have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, let's say, what are you looking for me?" β
"You've lived a long time, and I want to ask you someone."
"Who?"
"Puji Zhenjun."
"Puji...... Zhenjun? The Wheel King's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a thoughtful expression, "This name is interesting." Puji sounds like a person in Buddhism, but he is called a true monarch. β
"Have you heard of it?"
The Wheel King searched his memory and shook his head: "I haven't heard of it." β
Lingyu was deflated: "Even you haven't heard of it, so where can you find it?" β
Wheel King Qi said: "Why have I heard of it? β
"Because you've lived a long time!"
The Wheel King smiled, shook his head, and didn't answer.
"That's right!" Lingyu remembered another thing, "Aren't you a disciple of the Taishi Dao Ancestor?" β
The Wheel King said slowly: "Sort of." "He is different from Ziying and Mingxin, he is not a serious Taoist ancestor, he has only heard the sermon in Ziwei Mansion, and he has also received the teachings of the Taishi Taoist ancestor. Therefore, the Wheel King has always regarded himself as a disciple of Dao Ancestor, but he does not regard himself as a disciple of Dao Ancestor.
"I heard Ziying say that there were monsters worshipping under the Taishi Dao Ancestor at the beginning. DID YOU KNOW? β
"Of course I know." The Wheel King's eyes were filled with admiration, "Lao Jun treats people without distinction, no matter what his background is, he is given the true inheritance." β
Although the three Dao Ancestors all opened the door to teach disciples, they acted very differently.
Hongyuan Daozu is the most orthodox one, Qingdu Mountain basically only accepts human disciples, otherwise it is a spirit clan born like Ziying. Cheng Jun Dao Ancestor's Jun Heavenly Palace is relatively complex, there are many demon disciples, and the Buddhist sect is also a branch that extends from his side. And under the ancestor of the Taishi Dao. It's even more complicated. There are orthodox Taoist cultivators, ghost cultivators like the Wheel King, and monsters with a very bad reputation.
Because of this, the Taishi Dao Ancestor has always been the most polar among the three Dao Ancestors. Some think. He teaches without class. He is the most remarkable of the three Dao Ancestors. Those who hold this view are like the Wheel King. Some people also believe that he does not distinguish between good and bad, and treats everyone equally. It sounds great, but it doesn't distinguish between good and evil.
"So, do you know that back then, the Taishi Dao Ancestor once brought a monster into his door, thus creating a demon cultivation faction?"
"Of course." The Wheel King replied without hesitation, "Speaking of which, our ghost cultivation branch has a lot of similarities with demon cultivation, and it can be regarded as the same origin. β
"Do you know the monster?"
"Yes."
"Then this Puji Zhenjun ......"
The Wheel King was surprised: "Could it be that the Puji True Monarch you said is related to demon cultivation?" β
Lingyu smiled and brought it over vaguely: "If you think about it this way, does Senior Uncle Han have an impression?" β
The Wheel King thought about it seriously and shook his head: "I really don't remember this person." β
Lingyu didn't give up: "Think about it again?" β
Keenly aware of something, the Wheel King stared at her: "Lingyu, you want to inquire about the news from me, so you should tell me about the cause and effect, right?" β
Lingyu laughed, and her tone was affectionate: "Uncle Han, you really see what you say about it, what is our relationship......
The Wheel King said slowly: "Yes, what is our relationship?" You don't think that just by calling you uncle, I will let you get what you want, right? Waisu? β
Was this a reminder that she wasn't just Lingyu?
Lingyu sighed: "You really care. β
The Wheel King chuckled, "You can't blame me for this. I also have a part in that crisis, such an important clue, if you don't tell me, are you too disappointed in our 'close' relationship? β
He deliberately bit the accent on the word closeness.
"......," Lingyu said, "It's not that I won't tell you, but we don't have much confidence right now, and we don't dare to talk nonsense everywhere." β
It is very likely that the Wheel King also has that thing, so it's hard to say too much.
The Wheel King stared at her for a long time, and Han Funing's face smiled lightly: "Okay, I'll believe you for the time being." β
The voice changed: "Even if you don't tell me about specific matters, remind me one or two, it won't be a problem, right?" β
If he doesn't confess today, he won't let it go.
Lingyu smiled helplessly: "So, how much does Uncle Han know about demon cultivation?" β
The Wheel King sensed something in her tone and smiled, "What exactly do you want to know, just ask." β
"Okay." Lingyu stroked his palm, "Two questions, one of them, where did the monster under the Ziwei Mansion go later." Second, I remember that it was recorded in the classics that those initial monsters disappeared after passing down the demon cultivation lineage, so where did they go? β
"Your two questions are actually one question." The Wheel King said, "I can't answer you for the exact answer to this question." I can only tell you that those monsters disappeared overnight, I remember, on the eve of the outbreak of the Fallen War. β
On the eve of the outbreak of the War of the Fallen World, it was a very much recorded but vague period of history in the classics, and there were many opinions and no definite answers. As for the Honghuang monks who participated in the battle of the fallen world, everyone kept it secretive and almost never mentioned it. Now that Xu Wei and Ziying are completely fused, Lingyu can know some news from Xu Ying. The problem was that Zi Ying himself was a person who focused on cultivation, and what he knew was limited to Qingdu Mountain.
On the other hand, on the eve of the outbreak of the War of the Fallen World, it was itself relatively chaotic, and the true news and false news were all piled together, and the parties involved may not be able to completely distinguish them.
"How did they disappear?"
The Wheel King shook his head, "I can't answer that question. Back then, I was in Ziwei Mansion, and I was not an official disciple, so I didn't have much involved. I just remember, I don't know when I haven't seen those monsters again. After a pause, he added. By the way, Dao Ancestor was not surprised by this matter, which is why we all ignored it. We thought that since Dao Ancestor knew it in his heart, there was no need for us to meddle in our affairs. β
Lingyu raised an eyebrow.
The Wheel King smiled, "I don't have to lie to you. β
Lingyu thought for a moment and nodded slowly, if this is the case, the disappearance of the monsters may have something to do with the fall of the Dao Ancestor? Why does this matter become more terrifying the more you think about it? Dao Ancestor has fallen. The monster disappeared on the eve. It turned out to be possessed by a Mahayana monk......
"With the name of Zhenjun, it stands to reason that this person should be a Terran monk. In the era of Guang Lokuten, most of the monsters were born. There aren't many Terrans who are enchanted. If the person is a Mahayana post-Mahayana demon. Surely there will be a record. But I don't have any impression of the name. If he is a Mahayana after he has entered the demons...... This thing is interesting, it stands to reason that he should be called the Demon Lord. β
Lingyu nodded slowly. That's exactly what she wondered.
"Puji, this name, with the image of Buddhism, I will ask you to find the bald donkey who is angry. Although he is not the ancestor of the Dao, he can be regarded as the descendant of this lineage, if there is really a Buddhist disciple into the demon, he should know. β
"Thank you." Lingyu cheered up, "Then I'll go first?" β
The Wheel King raised his eyebrows: "You're just going like this?" It's too ruthless, isn't it? β
"What do you want?"
The Wheel King sighed lightly and waved his hand: "That's it, it's not the first day that I know that you have no conscience, go ahead." β
Lingyu tore open the space, thought about it, and turned around and said: "Uncle Han, you pay attention to your Yuan Shen, it's best to search them all, the matter of knowing your heart may not be the only one." β
Before the Wheel King could ask, she stepped out of the space and disappeared.
Standing above the River Styx, with the deep darkness of the river at your feet and the brilliant starry sky overhead. The Wheel King looked up for a while and smiled faintly: "If this is true, I owe you a favor." β
The River Styx rippled, and the figure of the Wheel King sank.
If you don't manage Lingyu or Huaisu, you haven't been to the Pure Sky Temple. That guy who is angry with Wu is good, it's good to be in the Pure Sky Temple half the time, and he usually goes for nothing.
However, this time Lingyu did not run in vain. After going to Guang Lotian to reincarnate once, Wu Anger seemed to have a cold heart for reincarnation, returned to the Pure Sky Temple, and began to practice penance behind closed doors. Those who don't know, seeing his virtue, think that he has always been an ascetic!
"Donor, please come here." A bald little monk led Lingyu to the mountains and forests.
This little monk is eleven or twelve years old at most, and he has not yet begun to develop, and he is still an immature child. The baby's fat face is in great contrast with Yan SΓΉ's serious expression.
Lingyu looked interesting and couldn't help but tease him: "Little master, is it interesting to be a monk?" β
The little monk had a stern expression and said, "Donor Shen Yan, where is the interesting and uninteresting way to say that the monk is not interesting?" β
The child's adult talk is very interesting, and Lingyu wants to tease him even more: "What's so good about being a monk?" can't eat meat, can't get close to women, suppresses himself when he has nothing to do, and cultivates a living person into wood. Why don't you go with me, we have Danxiao Concept, there are all kinds of delicious food, you can still marry a wife when you grow up, you don't have to worry about losing your child's body, hindering your cultivation, isn't it much more interesting than you being a monk? β
The little monk raised his head, looked at her seriously, and asked, "The donor thinks that our ancestor is wood?" β
Lingyu was stunned and laughed.
Wu hated this stinky monk, he was not very good, and the disciples and grandchildren he taught were quite interesting.
As they spoke, the two of them had crossed the mountains and forests and arrived at the stele forest.
In the forest of steles, a tall tower stands tall, as if reaching the blue sky.
The clouds float above the mountain tower, shining in the sunlight, and it is very beautiful.
Lingyu sighed: "The scenery of the Yunxia Realm is really beautiful. β
The little monk pointed to the tower: "Donor, the ancestor is there, the little monk is inconvenient to follow, you can do it yourself." β
Lingyu smiled and touched his bald head: "What I say counts, if you don't want to stay here anymore, just sue me." β
"Master Cheng Shi, isn't it okay for you to dig people's corners in front of you?" Lingyu's voice sounded in her ears, and it was the familiar tone of Wu Yan.
Lingyu sighed: "Monk, I just can't bear to be raised by you to be a wood for such a cute little doll." β
Wu screamed angrily, and stopped pretending: "Cheng Lingyu, do you think I'm wood?" β
Well, it's not like it. He's not wood, he's a slippery loach.
Lingyu's figure moved, and the next moment, it had already appeared in the tower.
The floating slaughter of Buddhism is extraordinarily concise. The tower of enlightenment is emptyβit's a bit of an ascetic.
"Tell me, come to me for something." Satoru pointed to the dilapidated futon in front of him.
Lingyu sat down, separated by a small wooden platform, and Wu Yan poured her a glass of water. But the real water, not even a little tea powder.
Lingyu took a sip, pursed her lips, and put it down.
Therefore, she doesn't like the style of Buddhism, and never admits her desires, but directly strangles her. Chic as enlightened and hateful, his essence is the same, not necessarily truly deviant.
"I want to ask you something."
"Say." Today's edge cultivation is particularly concise.
"Do you have an impression of the name Puji?"
Wu Yan was puzzled for a while, and said, "It seems that I have some impressions, but I don't remember it." β
"This name is relatively early, in the era of Guang Lotian, can you use this name of Buddha cultivation?"
"What are you asking for?" Satoru looked at the knife warily.
Lingyu smiled: "Is my reputation so bad?" β
"You really don't have much credibility to speak of." Wu was unashamed.
"Hey!" Lingyu knocked on the wooden platform, "Forget this kind of thing when others say it, what do you say?" β
Wu smiled angrily: "Then do you answer or not?" β
This treacherous and cunning expression made Lingyu roll her eyes: "Come on, I'll put my words here first, I will explain this matter to you, but not now." You have to say it now, though, because it's important, very important. β
Lingyu's expression was strict enough, and Wu Yan stared at her for a while, and reluctantly believed: "Okay." I don't remember a Buddhist practice named Puji, but I do remember one thing that is written in the scriptures......"
Lingyu came out of the Yunxia Realm and returned to the Shangzhen Realm, and the whole person was worried.
This thing seems to be really not simple. Wu said that they have a lineage of Buddhism, and there are no high-ranking monks with Puji as the name, but in the scriptures of the early years, such a person was recorded. In ancient times, Guang Lok Tian was a world full of beliefs, and people there worshiped ghosts and gods. Most of the ghosts and gods they offered were ordinary human races, who were deified because they had done something. For example, those who have made merits such as building bridges and sacrificing rice are often made by the beneficiaries with golden bodies to worship.
This kind of ghost and god is actually just a psychological comfort, and it is not really a ZΓ i.
And Yuan Xiu once saw a story in the Buddhist scriptures, a flood occurred somewhere in the wilderness, and a woman saved many people with her own boat. Later, the people molded the woman's golden body, and called her Puji Niangniang.
After the flood, there may be Buddhist cultivators with Puji as the name, but their cultivation is far from enough, and the time is not right.
Lingyu couldn't figure it out. Does this Puji have anything to do with the Puji Zhenjun they caught? It doesn't sound like it's related at all, except that he was also born in the wilderness. (To be continued......)
