Chapter Twenty-Six: Is the Buddha a Replicant?

After I got rid of the Black Snake, I put it in the name of the Second and named it Black Flame. It's called Black Nature because of his jet-black scales, and as for Yan, it's because we found another feature of Black Yan after he became a Demon Pet Crystal. Although he had been using physical attacks in the previous battles with the Treasure Tree King and those monsters, it was only when we finally saw the genus-sex-that we were surprised to find that this guy could actually spell. Although he has very few spells, they are all surprisingly powerful. In particular, his Flame Spray was more than the Dragon's Flame Spray. In addition, we also discovered a very strange genus-sex--that is, he can attack an illusory individual, as for the reason, it is not clear, anyway, just know that there is such a genus-sex-.

After subduing the black flame, Ling and I went down to Ruoshui again and turned over for a long time before dragging the black crystal where the king was to the shallow book area, the previous battle was too fierce, and I don't know who kicked the crystal, if it weren't for my psychic contact with the king to let me determine his location, it would take a lot of work to salvage it. Although to me Ruoshui is just a black-colored, very cold-liquid-body, to most living things, Ruoshui is actually like frozen sulfuric acid, which will freeze into ice and shatter into ice slag if it is not burned to ashes immediately.

After waiting for a few more hours on the shore of Ruoshui, there was a sudden clicking sound on the surface of the black crystal where the king was, Ling and I quickly jumped up and ran to the crystal to observe, only to see a huge crack on the surface of the crystal, and it was still spreading and spreading, and soon the whole crystal was crawling with cracks like spider webs, and finally I heard a crackling sound, and the whole crystal suddenly broke into countless pieces and fell to the sea, and the king appeared in front of us with a new image.

"The King?" Ling asked tentatively, because the king in front of him was really very different from before evolution. In the past, the king looked like a military commander in armor, and although he always had a straight face, he always looked more like a human, but now it is different. The current king still wears full-body armor, but the shape of the armor has become extremely ornate. The angular armor looks like it is made of black crystal, which at first glance seems to be transparent, but when you look harder, you can only see a pitch black, and the surface of the armor has a strange reflection of black-colored streamers, which looks unusually gorgeous with the gold-colored lines on the surface of the armor. That's not all, there is a layer of purple-black-colored flames wrapped around this set of armor, and some gold-colored points of light can occasionally be seen flickering in the flames, as if the whole body is flashing, especially under the black-armor and flames, those gold-colored points of light are even more gorgeous. Even more so than that, there were two more holes in the king's helmet, from which a pair of curved horns poked forward and turned in an arc to bend back. How do I think that thing looks very familiar, but after thinking about it carefully, I realized that Ling's real body also has these two horns, which means that this thing can basically be considered a sign of the Great Demon.

In fact, it is far more than the king who has evolved, because the king himself has two companion pets, the charm and the spirit, and now the king has evolved with the charm and the spirit. Originally, the Charm Spirit was a pair of boys and girls who looked to be only a few years old, but now they have changed a lot. The dragon has changed from a little little sister with a little baby fat to a perfect girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, although it still looks very young, but it is fundamentally different from the previous little girl, at least the current dragon looks unusually attractive, with a beautiful face with a bewitching beauty and that delicate facial features, it is simply a girly version of the vixen. No, it should be said that the dragon is more charming and evil than the fox spirit. No matter how evil the fox spirit is, it is also a living **, and the spirit is a complete resentful body, and that evil energy is not comparable to the fox spirit. The changes between the charm and the spirit are similar, except that the little girl form has become a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl model, while the chubby dun-shaped charm has become a feminine handsome guy about seventeen or eighteen years old, or according to the current popular saying, he is a pseudo-girl-type beautiful man.

In addition to the change in appearance, in fact, the change in the ability of the ghost is greater than the change in appearance. In the past, the ghosts had no direct attack power.,The ability of the two of them is to teleport to the target's side and hold the target's legs.,And then one sneers and the other sobs.,The effect is to absorb the target's life and mana.,If you suck it dry - sex - and can't get rid of it, the target will die.。 Although it seems that this genus-sex-is already quite terrifying, but in fact, in addition to mental pressure, the real threat is not very strict, after all, the absorption speed is relatively slow, and the life and magic of the current players and monsters are not too low, and it takes a lot of time to absorb it, and it should be done for such a long time to use n times of advanced dispel. But now the skills of the Charm Monster have changed, instead of crying and laughing with your legs, you can laugh or pretend to be cool directly at the target or target group from a distance, which means that the previous Charm Monster's skills were a single attack type, but now it has become a multi-target attack at the same time. But there is a distinction here, and that is to start dividing - sex - different. The charm of the charm is only effective for women, and the charm of the spirit is also the most effective for men, and for the non-sexual, other races can have both effects. Before, the skill effect of the ghost was a vampire and a demon sucker, but now it has changed a little, and the effect of vampire and sampirism still exists, but the absorption speed has increased slightly, but in the past, the ghost was a vampire and a demon sucker, and now it has become two people who have both the effect of sucking blood and sucking demons. In addition, there is a new ability added to the skills of the Ghost Spirit, which is weakened. When the ghost appears, as long as the enemy can't kill it or drive it out of sight, then the target character will continue to weaken, and its appearance is that the reaction slows down, the additional strength decreases, and the chance of casting failure increases. This ability doesn't seem to have any direct effect, but as long as it takes a long time, it is estimated that even the immortals will have to carry it, after all, if it is weakened like this, sooner or later the immortals will become weaker than ordinary people, and at that time, it will be completely gone. But it's also because of this skill that the previous invincible genus-sex--has also disappeared.,It's just a relative increase in the ability to physically attack.,It's just that the strength is not outstanding.。

After reading the genus-sex-, I took all the pets back, and then returned to Isinger, but I didn't stay here for long, because there were still a lot of things at hand that were not finished. First of all, I went to Clouds City to see the merger of the subordinate races of Atlanta, and after confirming that the construction progress was not bad, I stopped by to meet Asford and discussed with him about the various guilds in Europe recently. After leaving Ashford's place, I went back to Japan, and after explaining the recent operational problems with the leaders of the Guild here, I was busy until late at night. After teleporting back to Isinger, I hurriedly ran to the Heavenly Court, the main reason for coming here is that the masters we got from the Buddha Gate are currently sealed here, and I am here to see the situation now.

As soon as I got out of the teleportation array of the Heavenly Court, I ran directly to Taishang Laojun, but this time I didn't go to the alchemy room, but to another room, although this side looks no different from other places, but there is something inside. As soon as I pushed open the door of the main hall, my eyes immediately changed, the environment in the hall that should have been seen did not appear at all, instead there was a huge lawn comparable to the ** square, and there was a large lake behind the lawn, and above the lake was a waterfall, but the waterfall did not come from the high mountain, but poured down from a floating island above, like a silver-forged belt hanging in the air. The mist flying near the waterfall completely enveloped a large area of the complex behind it in vapour, and from my side I could see a rainbow hanging over the complex, which looked so dreamy and fantastic.

"Master?" I was in a daze when I suddenly heard the voice of the little dragon girl. After overhearing that we caught those people in Buddhism were doppelgangers of people in Buddhism, I asked Xiaolongnu to come back and report the news, and then Xiaolongnu has been watching the clones of these people in Buddhism here until I came here.

"Are all the doppelgangers of those people in the Buddhist sect here?"

"In. But it's a bit complicated, and it's not quite what we thought before. The little dragon girl said.

"Complicated?"

"How so? In short, you can take a look at it. ”

After following Xiaolongnu across a small bridge over the lake and arriving at the complex, I found that the building structure here is more similar to the Suzhou garden, in which small bridges, flowing water, rockeries and strange rocks can be seen everywhere, but the most special place is not on these dead things, but those living things. There was a group of cranes standing on the edge of the pool in front, and on a relatively large rockery, there was actually a water unicorn sleeping there, and it was even more amazing that there was a dragon lying on the roof not far away. "The home of the gods is really different!"

Xiaolongnu thought that I said that this place is big, so she explained: "Taishang Laojun is one of the more powerful people in the fairy world, and ordinary immortals do not have this style. The front soon reached the place where the doppelgangers of those people in the Buddhist sect were. ”

I nodded and said nothing, and soon we moved to a courtyard at the edge of the complex, and as soon as I passed the courtyard gate, I could clearly feel that the environment had changed significantly. The original beautiful water-pavilion rockery is gone, and the building with the red wall of vermilion tile has become a white-colored stone building, and each stone has a strange mark on the surface, like a trademark. Of course, it is impossible for stones to have trademarks, so these things can only be some kind of spell mark, and they may not have the effect of a magic array.

Behind the gates of this courtyard was a small square, and around the square was a circle of bungalows, and strangely enough that in front of the gates of each house hung a sword, and on each sword was a piece of yellow paper full of runes. When I came in, Taishang Laojun was talking to a person with his back to the door in one of the rooms, and when he saw me appear, Taishang Laojun immediately walked out, and the person who was talking to him found that Taishang Laojun had left and turned around, and I was startled when I saw that face, because it was none other than Rulai.

With a click, both hands and claws popped out at the same time, and I instantly entered the battle state, and the black-colored flames soared up two feet high with a bang, which startled Taishang Laojun. "Calm down. He's not the one who fought you! ”

"Isn't it?" Taishang Laojun's words made me stunned for a moment, but I didn't cancel the battle form.

"I'll explain to you right away, you put away the dark fire first, my anti-demon floor tiles will start to require energy, and you will pay for the consumption?"

"Huh?" As soon as I looked down, I realized that the rune on the surface of a large stone slab under my feet had actually lit up with a dazzling golden light, and several nearby floors were also glowing with different degrees of light, apparently activated by my magic power. "Damn, my magic!" After watching the changes in those floor tiles, I remembered to look at my mana, and it turned out that the mana value could go down by more than one-third. I just started the battle state just now.,I lost a third of my magic power before I even had time to use the skill.,If you really fight, it's estimated that you won't be able to use a single move.,It's too perverted, right?

Taishang Laojun saw that I put away the dark fire on my body and immediately took the initiative to explain: "This is the place where I study dangerous creatures, in order to facilitate research, so this entire courtyard is built with anti-demon materials, even if you have the magic power of heaven and earth here, you can only be like ordinary people." ”

"And ...... yourself?"

"I have this." Taishang Laojun lit up a piece of jade pendant on his body. "This is the key to the magic circle, and if you take it, you won't be suppressed, otherwise you will be like you, and the magic power will be sucked dry as soon as you activate the combat state."

I nodded and put away my battle form, then pointed to the guy behind him and asked, "Isn't he Rulai?" ”

"Yes. Neither is it. "Taishang Laojun said something inexplicable, and then explained it without waiting for me to ask." He is the Rulai of the Buddhist forces defeated by the Heavenly Court in the previous Middle-earth God War, but he is just a clone of the real Western Heavenly Rulai. In fact, if you hadn't sent the Dragon Maiden back to inform us, even he wouldn't know he was just a doppelganger. ”

"Huh?" This answer was surprising, but I could understand the situation very well. Although I don't know much about doppelgangers in spells, I can draw an analogy to a scene from a science fiction movie. Now the Rulai in front of me is like a clone that often appears in science fiction films, its consciousness and body cells all come from the original real Rulai, but the problem is that now this Rulai does not know that he is "cloned" after being "cloned", and he doesn't even have the memory of the process of being reborn and clone, that is to say, he has always thought that he is Rulai, the only real Rulai, and he doesn't know anything about the reincarnation of the doppelganger. "You don't know you're fake?"

The Rulai said dejectedly: "I couldn't believe it when Taishang Zhenren sued me before, but now it has been proven!" Ay! I want to work hard for Buddhism in the land of Middle-earth, and it turns out that I am all making wedding dresses for others. Hey......"

Hearing Rulai's explanation, I looked at Taishang Laojun suspiciously, and Taishang Laojun immediately explained it to me, and I quickly understood. Although this Nyorai is a reborn clone, in addition to the memories about the clone, he also has a lot of memories that Nyorai has, and it is precisely because of this that he can develop the power of Buddhism in Middle-earth in exactly the same way as Nyorai. He didn't know that he was just a doppelganger because the real Rulai didn't send him any orders or anything like that, and he couldn't have tested himself as a doppelganger for no reason, just like we don't usually think that we were a fake self, and I didn't think about it at all. But although he usually can't think of it, it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand the characteristics of this kind of doppelganger.,After the people of the heavenly court told him that he was imprisoned, he tested himself.,It turned out that he really found that he was just a doppelganger.,This discovery can be said to be a blow to him on the head.。 Knowing the news, Ruolai immediately gave up any resistance, and he did whatever the Heavenly Court asked him to do, and even took the initiative to help persuade those who were also reborn clones in the Buddhist Sect. The reason why this iflai will cooperate like this is mainly because he is not at ease in his heart, because although he is a doppelganger, he has an independent mind, he thinks that he is an independent being, not an accessory of the true Rulai, but the real Rulai can be erased at any time, so this if he comes, he will cooperate so much in the hope of helping Heaven, it is nothing more than hoping that we can do our best to get the true Rulai, so that they can survive, Otherwise, one day, if Zhenru wants to destroy them, as long as they have a thought, they will be completely turned into ashes, and there will be no chance to resist at all.

"How many people in the Buddhist sect are there now who have been separated by the method of rebirth and separation?"

"About 3,000 of them!" When Taishang Laojun said this, he turned to the person and said, "You go back first." The man bowed silently, and then went back to his room. Taishang Laojun waited for Ruo to go back and forth, and then pulled me out of the courtyard, and only after we came out did he whisper. "This is the way it is now. Although the strength of the people in the Buddhist sect produced by these reincarnated clones is not as good as the ontology, their combat effectiveness in a short period of time can still reach the level of the real ontology. So......! ”

"So Heavenly Court wants to keep these people?"

"You guessed it?" Taishang Laojun was a little surprised.

"Isn't that clear?" Seeing Taishang Laojun's expression of listening to me, I had no choice but to explain: "Originally, even if these people in the Buddhist Sect who were accused by you did not cooperate with you, you did not rush to kill them all, and there must be a plan to use them, otherwise the leaders of your Heavenly Court would be willing to put a group of time bombs around you?" ”

"There's some truth to that."

"I'm right about the first, and I'm even more sure about it later. Now that these Buddhists know that they are just a reincarnated doppelganger, then if you and I suddenly find ourselves as replicants of others, and life and death are controlled in the hands of others, what would you think? ”

"Then naturally we have to find a way to get out of this environment!"

"So! These Buddhists will definitely not be able to get the real Buddhists on their own, after all, their lives are in the hands of others, as long as they plan to resist, the other party doesn't even need to do anything, as long as a thought can get them all done. Then imagine again. If they can't compete with Buddhism themselves, they can only rely on external forces, and now only Heavenly Court has the ability and is willing to help. Therefore, they will inevitably want to seek refuge in Heaven to get help. In this case, will Heavenly Court not be moved? I don't even believe it. Then keeping these people in the Buddhist sect has become the only thought of the heavenly court. ”

"The Jade Emperor said that you are as cunning as a fox, I think the fox is much worse than you!"

"Are you praising me or scolding me?"

"Hahahaha...... It's both! ”

"It's not easy to be commented on by Lao Jun, whether it's good or bad, but if I want to work, I have to give benefits, this is a matter of principle."

Taishang Laojun looked at me in surprise and asked, "How do you know that Heavenly Court wants you to do something again?" ”

"Do you need to ask? I'm not your boss, even if you have research results, you don't have to report to me! But now that you've told me so much detail, don't you want me to help? Actually, even if you don't say it, I probably know what you want me to do. ”

"Huh? Do you know that? "This time, Taishang Laojun was really scared.

"There are only two ways to keep the Buddhas, the first is to kill the real people in the Buddhists, so that the fake will become true. But I can't do this kind of thing, and you won't look for me, so I don't think about it. Then there is only the second option. You must have found a way to disconnect these reborn doppelgangers from the Buddha Sect and their ontology through some means, but this method probably requires something, and it is inconvenient for you to start or you can't get it at all, so you came to me. Did I guess right? ”

Taishang Laojun looked at it in surprise and said: "After the deity has a glimpse of the way of heaven, it's just like that!" You're not mortal! Things are basically the same as you say. This method was given by the reincarnation doppelganger, and he had the memories of the deity, so he naturally knew how to cut off the connection between the reincarnation doppelganger and the body, but it took a lot of materials to dissolve the connection, most of which we could get, but there were three things that needed to be used with your strength. ”

"Say it. What is it? Where can I get it? How much do you need? What are the difficulties? ”

"The first one is Haoyun stone, this thing is produced in the Western Regions, we don't have much to do with there, and the demand is relatively large, so I have to trouble you to buy some back."

"Haoshi? That's no problem. How much? "Haoshi is a kind of magic material that is not very valuable, and there is this kind of ore in Ashford, basically as much as you want.

"A hundred pounds in total, that's about the same."

"No problem, it will be delivered tomorrow. What are the other two? ”

"This ......" Taishang Laojun said with some embarrassment: "The following two things are more troublesome!" ”
