Chapter Ninety-Four: Desire in the Abyss
The flying boat returned to the furnace, and naturally ended without a problem. Dao Sheng didn't understand: why did these sect masters agree to Su Feifei's proposal to hand over the flying boat structure and the flying boat formation diagram. Now he finally understood: all the sect masters were ready to go it alone, planning to be independent. But no one wants to bear the infamy of betraying their ancestors and teachers, so they must first tear off the thread of ancestral training and teacher training. Su Feifei was the one who ripped that line.
The cultivation methods of each sect have already formed their own independent systems in the endless years, and the complete flying boat formation diagram is exactly the half-hidden needs of each sect. Dao Sheng estimated that the moment when the Flying Boat Star Map was unified was the time when the twenty-seven sects really fell apart. The power of the eighty-one families in the Lower Immortal Realm will definitely be redivided. The Sect Master of the Moon Shadow Building should have seen through it a long time ago, and it is estimated that he also has this idea. No matter what they think or do, Dao Sheng doesn't matter, but the future of the Bai family is inseparable from Bai Lingmiao, and he can't let go of it, and he can't ignore his wife's affairs. Dao Sheng is thinking about how to place the Bai family safely and properly.
Dao Sheng estimated that the overall strength of the sect was not much higher than that of the eighty-one family. But the high-end combat power is stronger than that of the eighty-one family, and the Jinyang Immortal Realm in the Lower Immortal Realm is the limit. The twenty-seven sect masters are all in the early stage of Zixuan Immortal, and within each sect, there are at least a few early stage realms of Zixuan, and it is said that they are all promoted in the middle realm.
According to the division of the realm of the immortal realm: human immortals, true extreme immortals, Jinyang immortals, and purple Xuan immortals, there are five realms behind, and there is a big gap between the early, middle, late, and consummation of the strength of the same realm, not to mention the big realm gap.
Although Dao Sheng only has the Holy Realm now, according to the rules of the cultivation realm, it is impossible for him to cross the realm to fight immortals. However, the exercises he practiced were patched together, and the energy attributes and structure in his body were completely different from those of the Lower Immortal Realm and the continent where the sect was located, and the energy required was mixed. The aura here can only be a dispensable supplement for the three of them now, and it can't promote the improvement of cultivation at all. Dao Sheng asked about Su Feifei's breakthrough process, and he felt that it must have something to do with Lambie. After changing the structure of his physique and attribute energy, his cultivation also did not make any progress. Although their exercises and energy are messy, their strength is there, they don't care if they are black cats and white cats, and if they catch mice, they are good cats. If someone bullies them for their low level, they will be caught as rats.
The flying boat was managed by the sect master of Jiao Sanxun, and the dragon peak was restored to its former appearance. The Dragon Transformation Sect directly took over the main peak, and it could harvest a large number of spirit stones every year. There are already quite a few cultivators who refine weapons and alchemy. Dao Sheng originally wanted to use this place to refine the flying magic weapon of the three of them, but now he felt that it was not suitable. Besides, he has a better place, and the three of them take a large amount of cold spring before leaving, which Ranmi and Fluttershy like to drink, and this spring water is really good for making tea.
The three of them originally wanted to travel to Kyushu, so they simply chose to start from Qiang Yangzhou.
Qiang Yangzhou is the realm of insect cultivation, which is controlled by the Gu King Sect, the Hualong Sect, and the Green Chalk Sect. Although he offended the Dragon Transformation Sect and the Gu King Sect Master, Dao Sheng didn't believe in the sect cultivators, and dared to act against the three sect orders in the Lower Immortal Realm. Even with their hands, they are not afraid.
After traveling for a while, they found that there were very few real insect cultivators in Qiang Yangzhou, and most of them were other ethnic groups who majored in Zerg exercises. However, insect cultivators majored in telepathy and soul, and they believed that the heart was the source and the concept of the immortality of the soul gave Dao Sheng infinite reverie.
Is this a coincidence? Socrates advocated that the mind should turn to itself, that the soul is immortal. His appearance is ugly in the eyes of the humans on earth, but he is complacent and thinks he is the way to go. "Dao Sheng found that the real insect cultivators here didn't care about beauty or ugliness at all, thinking that they were the most perfect creatures. "It's not just a coincidence! It's a pity that I can't go to the sect of insect cultivation for the time being. ”
There are many strange bugs in the town, which are openly sold, and most of them are low-class creatures. Among them, there was a kind of beetle the size of a palm, which made Xu Feifei and Xi Miao excited for a while, and even Dao Sheng was very surprised, and the insect cultivator called it a phantom insect. They call it a sports car, and its shape is almost exactly the same as the sports car on Earth, it has three pairs of knotted feet, tough and flexible, and a pair of knotted feet in the middle, so that the high-speed phantom worm can change direction at will, freely and flexibly.
The lines of the Phantom Worm are smoother and more perfect than those of a sports car. Two round eyes, like the two headlights on the front face of a sports car. Especially when it spreads its wings, it is basically the same as a sports car with its doors open upwards. Although he couldn't fly, he actually pulled out a long phantom in the air when he ran. The colors are bright and the cries are like frogs. One spent 113,000 top-grade spirit stones for Dao Sheng. Fei Fei Fei Bai Lingxiao threw it to Dao Sheng to manage, Dao Sheng didn't like insect pets very much, but what if they wanted to play again one day?
Qiang Yangzhou's most famous specialty is poison. The use of poison is endless. Su Feifei was very excited, bought a lot of poisonous insects, poisonous powder, venom, poison pills, and after confessing her last words to Bai Lingmiao and Daosheng, she began to test the poison herself, and after tossing for a while, she angrily found the shopkeeper and asked for a refund, saying that they sold fakes. and ate the poison pills in the store on the spot, so shocked that the shopkeeper almost fainted, and quickly caught insects and small animals for testing, and the result was a lot of poison.
The three of them bought the poison that was said to be highly toxic and gradually increased the amount, but the body did not react, is this a bit excessive. Originally, the monks were not afraid of poison to a certain extent, and they were not afraid of fire, freezing, and refining, but the three of them ate poison as a meal and did not feel it. After Dao Sheng realized his enlightenment, he found that after all the toxins entered the body, they were absorbed by the Nine Mysteries as spiritual energy. In the end, they agreed that the poison in this realm was not strong enough, and that the poison could poison them. At the same time, they also unanimously said that they will try more poisonous things in the future, as long as the poison does not kill themselves. Maybe one day you can cultivate a poison body that everyone is afraid of. Of course, the subject of the test is first and foremost Daosheng.
There are still a lot of unfamiliar hanging greens in the nine mysteries of Dao Sheng, and he is worried that the hanging green will be impregnated with toxins, so after observing for a while, there is not much change. Thinking that it is not mature anyway, you might as well observe and observe. In case the immature hanging green is poisoned, the loss is not much, but in case...... Hehe, hehe, that's developed. To be on the safe side, he moved the hanging green fruit tree to his Taiyuan cave, where it was not poisonous.
There are no strange mountains and rivers in Qiang Yangzhou, and after decades of traveling, Fluttershy dislikes the insects. Ranmi felt that they had too little life. The trio also found a monk with the ability to sense wormholes. Then they went to Yongxuanzhou, the realm of Buddhism.
Yongxuan Prefecture is controlled by the Miyun Sect, the Zen Sect, and the Pure Land Sect. Shangxuzhou and Yongxuan Prefecture are the boundaries of their key travels, one is the territory of Taoism, and the other is the gathering place of Buddhism. Daosheng suspected that Shakyamuni in ancient India and Li Dan in China were aliens or alien spirits. They appeared in the Eastern Hemisphere almost at the same time, and in the Greek Empire at the same time, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, etc. also appeared.
Daosheng did not believe in the doctrine of the Axial Age, let alone the so-called breakthrough of civilization. Lao Tzu Li Dan's interpretation of the Tao, Buddhism's understanding and cognition of time and space, Socrates' spiritual turn and immortality of the soul, the level of scientific research at that time was extremely inconsistent with their ideological realm and cognitive height, and the gap was too big.
The city of the Nine Hui Sect, if the natives of the Nine Hui Sect are allowed to govern, it will definitely not reach the current civilization height, because it is a combination of several galaxy civilizations. At that time, on the earth, the thoughts of several far-reaching philosophers were obviously imprinted with the civilizations of other planets, especially the Xiuzhen civilization. Socrates is no longer pure speculation in Dao Sheng's heart, he just needs the right opportunity to go to the insect cultivation sect to seal it.
There is no aura on the earth, and it is impossible to cultivate the truth. How could he have such a profound and nuanced understanding and perception of the world based on observation and imagination alone? Zhuang Zhou didn't say anything, maybe he just had a dream and sighed a little after waking up. What's more, he was originally a fan of the Tao Te Ching. But what happened to Zhang Junfang in the Song Dynasty later? His Seven Signatures of Yun Ji should be an extension and refinement of the Tao Te Ching, and it is a discussion of the magic of the cultivation realm, supernatural powers, refining tools, and alchemy, and Dao Sheng analyzed that Zhang Junfang may be a descendant or disciple of Lao Tzu. Especially Lao Tzu, his understanding of the Tao is unparalleled, but his concept of governing the world obviously bears traces of cultivation. It was not at all in line with the chaotic social conditions of the late Spring and Autumn period at that time.
Did Lao Tzu discover the spatial nodes? Was the Buddha's sitting on the autopsy a helpless autopsy? Was Socrates poisoned, did he do it on purpose? None of them left specific works, and they were all passed down by word of mouth, which seems to be the practice of the cultivation world. If Lao Tzu hadn't been "forcibly retained" by Yin Xi, he would definitely not have left the Tao Te Ching. If they are monks, why don't they have the ability to be monks on Earth? If they are aliens, Dao Sheng estimates that they should be lost in space and wandered in the past. It's not an active trip.
Dao Sheng suspected that those people on the earth were exiled to the earth in the process of searching for a teacher by the monks of the Lower Immortal Realm Sect, because the situation here was extremely consistent with the sudden outbreak of the thought of the earth's civilization at that time.
The eighty-one families in Kyushu and the twenty-seven sects once taught one person, which was the product of their ancestor seeking the Tao, asking the Tao, and realizing the Tao. The key is the twenty-seven sects, and there have been countless monks looking for their ancestors for generations. From the monks' cultivation techniques, supernatural powers, and their concepts, clues should be found. Dao Sheng originally wanted to go directly to the location of the sect to find clues, but after the dispute over the return of the flying boat, he understood: for the time being, with the identity held by the sect order, there is no possibility at all to enter the core location of other sects, and the twenty-seven sects have already fortified each other.
Yongxuan Prefecture does not have the peace and tranquility imagined by Daosheng, and it is not described by Les Miserables and black smoke miasma. The monastery governs the mortal realm, and mortals live humbly and ignorantly in the faith. In the course of their travels, Dao Sheng saw all the sufferings and sorrows of mortals in Yongxuanzhou. It can be called a real purgatory on earth. The monastery has become a symbol of God, and all Buddhas are the spokesmen of God. There is no order, no rules. Monks have no faith, no quiet precepts, impure land, unstable Zen realm, and lawlessness in secret lands. Some are just the pervasive desires of the Buddhist monks and the souls struggling with their desires.
During the journey, Su Feifei saved many mortals, but they scolded and complained, saying that the two of them ruined their chances in this life and damaged the reincarnation of their children in the next life.
"What is your chance in this life?" asked Dao Sheng.
"Of course, we have the opportunity to suffer in this life. ”
"What is the next reincarnation of your children?"
"The Buddha said that they would no longer suffer sins in the next life. ”
"Who is the Buddha?"
"Stupid people, monasteries are Buddhas. ”
"Your monastery can talk?"
"The adults in the monastery will teach him the Dharma. You must not be disrespectful to the monastery. ”
They knew that even if these people saw the filth of the Buddhist monks in the monastery with their own eyes, saw the miserable plight of their children with their own eyes, and heard the desolation and weeping of their children with their own ears, they would take it for granted and that it was a sin that they should suffer in this life.
What is even more incredible is the disregard for their own lives. They met a few Buddhist cultivators who gave alms to Xu Feifei and Bai Lingxi, and their obsession with sacrificing their lives for desire was no different from that of wild beasts that went crazy because of desire.
