Chapter 37: Main Branches: Pure Land Illusion
Looking at the pupils of his eyes like hot lava, turning from gray to bright red, an instinctive desire for galloping and killing as if he was about to come out, with the Yuan Shen Shen Nian and the Blood Sacrifice Dragon Pony, the resonance between the souls was activated, and then surged in Mu Yuchen's perception!
Mu Yuchen, who was constantly injected with the Primordial Divine Thoughts, suppressed the powerful personality consciousness, the instinct that was about to move in the Blood Spirit Witch Weapon, and the rejection of the remaining subtle spiritual imprints of the previous master after the tempering of time, and then the Blood Sacrifice Dragon Horse rebelled and became restless!
Bloody, domineering, tyrannical, and cold, full ......of the most brave war warriors, and the temperament of the most powerful king, there is only a little residual spiritual imprint, and the momentum seems to be overwhelming, declaring his identity to Mu Yuchen!
The owner of the previous generation of the Blood Sacrifice Dragon Horse was none other than the invincible king of the Qin Dynasty - the Dragon Emperor!
However, just like the Emperor of Qin, the Dragon Emperor, for the many exploits of China, the family school whose interests were damaged, was abbreviated by the word 'tyrannical'!
After thousands of years of continuous erosion, the Dragon Emperor's will to dominate the universe has also been dimmed and dimmed!
In the middle of his thoughts, Mu Yuchen's powerful Yuan Shen Divine Thoughts completely wiped out the spiritual imprint of the Qin Emperor and Dragon Emperor from the Blood Sacrifice Dragon Horse, and then the instinctive restlessness of the Dragon Ju's blood spirit was also completely subdued by his powerful will!
As a result, a fluctuation full of surrender thoughts, then the Yuan Shen Divine Thoughts with Mu Yuchen, in the mutual resonance of each other, engraved a new spiritual imprint on the core of the Blood Soul of the Blood Sacrifice Dragon Horse!
The Blood Sacrifice Dragon Horse with a soul surrendered, and sent a pure spiritual message to Mu Yuchen's spiritual consciousness!
Followed by. A little bit of blood from the inside out, torn from the fingertips of Mu Yuchen's middle finger, with the gentle movement of the blood, it pointed to the forehead of the blue-gray dragon horse's body, and the connection between the two sides was established like a contract!
So. After completing the blood contract, Mu Yuchen became the new owner of the witch weapon in front of him!
With the Blood Sacrifice Dragon Pony completely in harmony with Mu Yuchen's efforts, the Infinite System naturally included this witchcraft in the list of items in the Book of Illusions.
"Item Name: Blood Sacrifice Dragon Pony
Item Level: Bronze Pinnacle (growable)
Origin World: The Mummy (Legend of Gods and Ghosts)
Item Description: The Qin Dynasty Warlock adopted countless techniques from ancient times, selected the war horses that awakened the weak dragon veins, extracted their essence and blood soul, and assisted the essence of copper, tin, lead, and mercury. A condensed battle array witch weapon!
Special Note: The Blood Sacrifice Dragon Pony can grow by devouring blood, souls, heaven and earth gold, or similar witchcraft!
Note: This type of witchcraft needs to maintain a continuous blood sacrifice, otherwise the ability of the witchcraft will continue to fall! β
Mu Yuchen, who was born in the 'martial arts', is not proficient in cavalry warfare, but the blood sacrifice witch weapon is relatively very primitive, but it symbolizes the oriental alchemy, the most primitive form of the witchcraft forging method, but it is against Mu Yuchen, who is an alchemist. Exceptional value!
For alchemists! New knowledge is always tempting!
"It has been buried in the imperial tomb for nearly a thousand years, and it can still maintain the evaluation of the peak of bronze. It seems that the state of the peak of the Blood Sacrifice Dragon Horse should at least be around the middle of silver! β
Mu Yuchen, who was silently estimating in his heart, naturally turned his gaze to the other three bronze war horses that were pulling the Dragon Emperor's coffin.
Seemingly obsessed, together with Evelyn, he continued to 'study' the Dragon Emperor's hearse. Mu Yuchen, who quietly took the four brothers of the Blood Sacrifice Dragon Horse, quietly took it into his pocket, and immediately turned his gaze to O'Connor, the Shangri-La Eye that was playing and tossing!
Shangri-La by definition is the Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan Province. Subordinate to a scenic city!
However, this is not the Shangri-La of The Mummy 3 - The Dragon Emperor!
Shangri-La, transliterated as Shambhala in Tibetan, which means 'Paradise of Heaven', is the origin of Kalachakra Buddhism described in the Tibetan Buddhist classic Kalachakra Sutra (Great Heavenly Lun Sutra), and is also one of the core teachings of Tibetan Buddhism!
Many adventurers in the real world believe in the real existence of the kingdom of Shambhala, and many people regard the legendary Himalayan snowman as the key to the mysterious country of Shambhala, and the screenwriter of the story of The Mummy 3 Dragon Emperor undoubtedly borrowed from the existence of this rumor!
For Tibetan Buddhism, the existence of Shambhala is like being shrouded in a fog forever, according to the teachings of Tibetan Buddhism, Shambhala exists and does not exist, and only the believers who have received the Kalachakra empowerment can truly reach there!
There is only one exact address for Shangri-La, and that is on the other side of the 'Sitha' River!
In short, Shangri-La is located on the so-called 'other side', because the so-called 'Sitha' river has no realistic positioning!
This seems to prove that Shangri-La exists as a 'Pure Land of Bliss'!
The geography of Shangri-La in the existing records resembles a mandala, in the shape of a wheel or an eight-petaled lotus!
Each lotus is a district, governed by a governor! Moreover, every administrative region has 120 million villages, and the edge of its borders is the Himalayas, impassable snow-capped mountains!
β¦β¦β¦β¦
After putting aside more and more bizarre classic descriptions and the accumulated expectations of future generations, as far as Mu Yuchen's personal understanding is concerned, the so-called Shangri-La (Shambhala) should actually be a place that is connected with the earth, but exists in a different space, similar to the existence of the Taoist Cave Heaven and Earth concept!
And the key to unlocking the path to this hidden cave is the Shangri-La Eye in O'Connor's hand!
However, combined with the plot in the original movie, Mu Yuchen doubted whether O'Connor and his party had really entered Shangri-La!
After all, the Cave Heaven Plane and the Hidden Cave have never been the same concept!
Mu Yuchen, who was doing a full set of acts, ended his onlookers at the coffin of Emperor Qin and Dragon Emperor with an expression of 'although he couldn't understand it, but it was amazing', and he naturally walked to O'Connor on the side. And focused his gaze on the crystal clear ice sapphire in his hand, which was wrapped in a tiny strange golden snake woven into a 'cage'!
"What is this!? Those snakes are moving!? β
Perhaps it is that among the exercises practiced by Mu Yuchen, the dragon elephant prajna gong and the 'great' method of changing the sky and striking the earth all originate from the relationship between Tibetan Buddhism. At the moment when his gaze directly touched Shangri's eyes, the golden snake, which was supposed to be as still as a dead thing, swam gently and stretchedly with a little bit of Sanskrit sound like a hallucination!
"What!"
Stopping the action of the eyes of Shangri-La, O'Connor, who was holding it tightly with the five fingers of his right hand, looked at Mu Yuchen with confused eyes and said.
"Maybe I'm dazzled!"
Looking at the golden snakes that have returned to a calm state, used to seal the eyes of Shangri, like a lotus flower, their swimming faces in their visual memory. Mu Yuchen, who was still in his mind, said so.
"That's why you and Evelyn came to China?"
"The Eye of Shangri-La, taken out of China in 1940! The Ministry of Foreign Affairs entrusted Evelyn and I to send it to Shanghai as a symbol of Sino-British friendship to Roger Wilson, who then forwarded it to the government of the Republic of China! β
O'Connor, whose nerves have always been very thick, even though he has matured a lot over the years, still has a hard time changing the essence of his character. He swept Mu Yuchen away and continued as a matter of course.
"Shangri-La Eye. I know this thing! Legend has it that it holds the secret of eternal life! β
Mu Yuchen, whose pupils flashed with bright and curious colors, focused his gaze on the golden and blue intertwined gem, and he said in an interested tone.
"Eternal life! Don't be funny! Brothers! β
O'Connor, who had the expression of an 'atheist' on his face, seemed to have completely forgotten his supernatural identity as the reincarnation of the warrior of Amunla, and he casually threw the Eye of Shangri-La at Mu Yuchen. And then he said.
"I obviously killed Immorton who came back from the dead twice, but I don't believe that there is eternal life in this world!"
The speaking world took the eye of Shangri-La, and then the cold system prompt sound fluctuated in Mu Yuchen's soul.
"Get the key item of the plot - the Eye of Shangri-La (meaning a little fountain of eternal life)!"
"Main Quest 1 - Return of the Dragon Emperor, open the plot variable branch option!"
"Main Branch Quest 1 - Pure Blood!"
"Obtain the first blood of one who has a pure heart. Lift the seal of the Eye of Shangri-La! β
"Quest Reward - 1,000 Source Points, Activate the Optional Branch Option of the Main Story!"
"Mission Punishment - None!"
"Yes/No Assignment!"
"Yes!"
The so-called optional branch of the main line is nothing more than choosing to use the Fountain of Eternal Life by yourself or unseal the Dragon Emperor!
Mu Yuchen, who is confident that he can control the development of the situation and whose goal has already been determined, does not hesitate at all!
"You're not afraid that I'll just run away with this thing!"
Mu Yuchen said to O'Connor with a smile.
"You won't do that! If you want! You could have done it a more reasonable way! β
With the adventure of wealth and secrets, O'Connor's experience and vision have been greatly increased, although the reunion in less than two days did not make Mu Yuchen obviously expose anything, but he still clearly perceived that his old friend in this city, that extraordinary power and status!
"Evelyn and I are just postmen, and after we're going to finish escorting the Eye of Shangri-La, this thing has nothing to do with us! You are completely able to get what you want from the National Government through normal channels! And not snatched from us! β
"You weren't so sharp! It seems that you have suffered a lot over the years! β
Mu Yuchen, who did not deny it, sighed and said.
"The corruption within the government of the Republic of China seems to be a well-known secret in the international community!"
"It's the same everywhere! My friend! β
O'Connor said with a pun.
Playing with the cold touch in his hand, but even and delicate texture, the Yuan Shen Shen Nian followed the gaze of his eyes, condensed towards Mu Yuchen on the Eye of Shangri-La, and instantly seemed to be transformed into time and space, and was pulled into the illusion of nothingness!
Suddenly, a vast land surrounded by vast snow-capped mountains and infinitely distant land was displayed in front of Mu Yuchen's eyes in the bright and gentle Buddha light, and the light and melodious Sanskrit sound!
In an instant, Mu Yuchen's spiritual consciousness arrived at the transcendent world on the other side of the river, which can be described as the pure land of the world!
The land of natural harvest without ploughing, the rivers flowing with honey and cow's milk, the streets covered with glazed glass and gold, the graceful walking and flying millions of celestial maidens, the majestic but peaceful Vajra warriors, and the ...... of the Buddha and the kings who are together with the rulers of the royal palace.
Without pain, without trouble, without hunger, without strife, ...... the enlightened beings who quietly chant Amitabha Buddha live in peace with a smile on their faces and happiness in eternal light and immeasurable peace!
All of them have been satisfied for a long time!
However, the so-called bliss is just that!
"What a bunch of shallow guys! It is obviously a pure land where all living beings are equal, but it still does not give up, class rule! Or, the Eye of Shangri-La treats me as one of those serfs who are precarious, toiling all day long but not at peace! β
Despised the level of illusion on the Eye of Shangri-La, Mu Yuchen, who also had the magical power of Buddhism, did not hesitate to give a big bad review!
"There is no joy without pain! There is no peace without worries! There is no satisfaction without hunger! There is no progress without struggle......! β
With Mu Yuchen's personality consciousness constantly questioning, the Pure Land environment of Shangri-La's Eye was shaken like an impact!
However, when the illusion that originated from the Eye of Shangri-La was about to be completely torn apart by Mu Yuchen's powerful Martial Dao Primordial God, a homologous power from the Void World was resonantly connected with the Eye of Shangri-La!
Suddenly, the originally compassionate and peaceful Sanskrit sound and Dharma phase in the illusion world became so domineering and domineering!
"The old clichΓ© of the inner saint and the outer king!"
In the face of the powerful illusion that the aura seemed to be expanding hundreds of times in an instant, the erosion and permeability of the spiritual power that was no longer concealed, the martial arts primordial spirit was instantly transformed into the Bodhi Dharma Divine Skill, and Mu Yuchen, who was in the state of the sixth Zen golden body dharma phase, the primordial divine mind like an endless ocean, instantly completely submerged the other party like a rushing river, without the slightest discomfort!
Immediately afterwards, Mu Yuchen, who ignited and exploded the small universe, the powerful Yuan Shen Divine Thoughts that were also released like an explosion, followed the line of the wish power that linked to the Eye of Shangri-La and originated from the distant world, and the upward extension of the reverse origin traced back to the original origin of all its existence.
