Chapter 70: The Buddha's Year
The cloudy eyes of the Asura Ancestor narrowed slightly, and he looked at Meng Qi and said:
"The feeling of Yellow Springs ......"
Before he finished speaking, he raised his right hand and dragged out a dark red and almost black sword, and the entire Buddha Hall immediately resounded with a terrible howl, confusing people's minds and destroying people, and the void floated, and countless remnants loomed, surging with the sword.
With a single sword, the creatures that the Asura Ancestor had slain seemed to reappear one by one!
Since then, he has been constantly fighting, killing non-stop, until now, the number of souls under his command can be imagined, and the condensed horror and cruelty can make the gods lose their fighting spirit and let him slaughter.
Facing the instantaneous sword rays, hearing a scream, the smile on Meng Qi's face remained unchanged, flexed his fingers, and flicked it lightly.
Suddenly, a blood-brown and turbid sword qi shot out, like a miniature of the Yellow Spring, and countless permanently sinking resentful spirits floated inside, all of which let out a terrible ghost cry, which was not inferior to the howl of the sword.
Crash!
The rolling yellow spring opposite the limestone temple is surging with stormy waves and terrifying waves, and the sinking ghosts that have accumulated since its birth roared and hissed, and the sound shook both sides.
The sword qi resisted the sword, and the blood brown washed away, washing away the memories of the dead souls, drowning the severed arms and stumps, and the ghost cries and screams neutralized, and the Buddha hall was quiet.
Silently, the blood-brown and turbid sword qi and the dark red and almost black sword light canceled each other out, and there was no trace of it, only a little ripple swaying in the void.
But at the moment when the two collided, in the Asura tribe on the other side of the wasteland, Bran suddenly had a stinging pain in her ears, and her head seemed to be stirred by a blunt knife, straight into her soul, and the pain made her completely lose control, her legs weakened, and she fell to the ground. Covering her head and rolling, all the Asuras around her were in such pain, and the evil dragon flying over the wasteland fell straight down, crashing out of the sinkhole, and strange magic birds fell like rain.
Neither the Asura Ancestor nor Meng Qi sent out a follow-up attack, quietly opposing each other, bathing in green lights, and the previous collision seemed to be just a dream.
"To be able to practice this level of Huangquan power, except for those who may cut out clones. The old guy who tried to control Huangquan was afraid that the only one in the real realm who had created the primordial demon path was the master. The Asura Ancestor said in a low voice like an old decaying and blunt knife, "You seem to be the true body of Huangquan that he cut out. ”
Speaking of this, He laughed at himself: "I have sealed myself for too long, I have been silent for many years, and I don't know much about the current situation in the real world, maybe there are other rising stars who have obtained the 'Huangquan True Body' and pushed it to this level. ”
Meng Qi took a step forward, and the dim lights reflected the dappled. Smiled slightly:
"Daoyou is really wise. ”
He seemed to be acquiescing that he was the "Huangquan True Body" cut by the Demon Lord.
The Asura Ancestor took a deep look at him, and the exaggerated wrinkles on his face trembled a few times: "What is the purpose of Daoist friends deliberately passing the news of Huang Quan's reincarnation to me?"
"The reincarnation of Huang Quan disappeared nearby, and it is likely that the secret of the stone temple built by the Buddha is involved. The old man couldn't find a clue for a while. Meng Qi admitted in a very leisurely tone that he had failed to do so, "and Daoyou was born at the beginning of the opening of the Nine Shadows, and has experienced almost all the time in the era of the Nine Shadows, and most of them have witnessed the Buddha build this temple. There is even an intersection.,It's the most suitable object for consultation.,So I will reveal this news to you through the mouths of two little friends.。 If you are not interested, the old man can only find another way, as the so-called willing person takes the bait. ”
The Asura Ancestor snorted: "When the Buddha built this stone temple, he transformed many strong people from my Asura clan and evolved into a Buddhist Dharma protector clan. ”
He only said a few words to sketch a thrilling picture, it is conceivable that it is impossible for him and the Asura clan to let the Buddha cross, and I don't know how many battles and conflicts have occurred during this period.
For this kind of big man, he who is a demigod and a half-demon does not call him "old bald donkey".
Sure enough, it is a "living fossil", a witness to history...... Meng Qi nodded slightly and said, "What is the purpose of the Buddha building this limestone temple?
The Asura Ancestor shook his head, his eyes becoming more and more cloudy, as if he had fallen into a distant memory:
"At that time, the Buddha seems to have not landed on the other side, and it seems that he has been on the other side for a long time, they are such a realm and level of big people, the specific state is really not clear to us, he came to the Nine Shadows alone, said the Dharma to persuade the demons, from the 'Styx Sea' to the 'He Transformation in the Heavens', from the 'Black Prison' to the 'Demon Pool', from the 'Yellow Spring' to the 'Shura Field', step by step to measure, at that time the Demon Lord and the Heavenly Killing were still there, he did not make too many moves, it seemed to be to complete an ascetic. ”
In the process, He stayed eighteen times, and each time he stopped, he built a similar limestone temple, nine of which were divided into the depths of the Nine Shadows, and the other nine were along the banks of the Yellow Spring River, without suppressing any existence. ”
"For so many years, I have been thinking about what He built the Limestone Temple for, and I have a vague understanding that He seems to be groping for the mysteries of the Nine Shades in order to perfect himself, and these eighteen Limestone Temples are His tools for measuring the Nine Shades. ”
Exploring the mysteries of the Nine Shadows and perfecting oneself? Meng Qi's heart moved when he heard this, and he vaguely felt that he was about to touch the secrets of the other side.
"It's a pity that I really can't figure out why, maybe I can really understand it when I reach the realm of Heaven Killing Them at the beginning. The Asura Ancestor sighed.
Meng Qi paced two steps forward and said slowly: "So, the Limestone Temple doesn't have a sealed powerhouse?In other words, no one has witnessed the disappearance of Huangquan's reincarnation......
The thread of events seems to have been cut off.
Speaking of this, Meng Qi suddenly had a flash of inspiration, looked sideways at the Asura Ancestor, and said with a smile: "If there is no clue here, Daoist friends will not come at all, and there must be a reason for coming here late at night." ”
The ancestor of the Asura laughed lightly, and said sarcastically: "The Buddha is 'compassionate', merciful to the nine sentient beings, and has his own arrangements when he builds, as long as he has good intentions, he is willing to put down the butcher's knife and enter the stone temple to step into the Pure Land and get liberation." ”
"Light the green lantern, wake up the wooden fish, and sincerely recite the scriptures or Buddha names in front of the faceless Buddha, and you can see the Pure Land. ”
Meng Qi was a little surprised: "The blue limestone temple has another pure land, and the Taoist friends suspect that the reincarnation of Huangquan has entered it?"
The Asura Ancestor nodded, and then sighed: "I have lived too long, so long that I thought I could live forever, but the facts tell me that this is just an illusion, so I searched for the origin of life and death, and wanted to understand the mystery of death, but I never saw its 'door', and the only gain was to follow the 'Yellow Spring', to its upstream, and it took thousands of years to walk back to the place of departure." ”
In other words, the Yellow Spring has formed a circle? It has its own cycle, with no source and no end? In this way, where is its origin, and where is the origin of life and death? Meng Qi was slightly moved when he heard this, and suddenly smiled: "Daoist friend is a demigod and half demon, he is murderous by nature, loves to fight, and has the selfishness and ruthlessness unique to evil demons and evil gods, how can he overcome his nature and tell the old man this secret?"
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that his consciousness had secretly cast the Yuan Heart Seal with the help of Huang Quan's bones to tell him that there was no problem, Meng Qi would have been a little unconvinced.
The cloudy eyes of the Asura Ancestor flashed in an instant, and he said lightly:
"It's not me who has overcome my nature, it's my nature that is afraid of death that has overcome the rest of my desires. ”
Relying on oneself alone, there has been no progress after so many years, and it is necessary to rely on external forces, and the mystery of the origin of life and death is certainly not the kind of thing that must be enjoyed exclusively.
"Then let's go into the Pure Land and have a look. Meng Qi said no more, and stretched out his hand to point to the Faceless Buddha.
The Asura Ancestor laughed: "Let me and my fellow Daoists put down the butcher's knife and have good intentions, I am afraid that it is no less than breaking the secret of life and death, and we have to find another suitable creature." ”
Meng Qi smiled, didn't say much, walked to the incense case leisurely, picked up the stone mallet, and woke up the wooden fish.
In an instant, his temperament changed abruptly, from the vicissitudes of evil and the old man who sank into a monk with a clear heart and compassion, and his sideburns were white with a bit of "so it is" that had gone through the red and earthly world, and finally came to his senses.
The Buddha's horn sounded, the Zen sound echoed, and the Asura Ancestor looked at Meng Qi's old back in a brocade robe, and his heart rippled.
If it weren't for the vivid memory of the death and evil stain of the "Huangquan True Body" just now, I am afraid that the other party would think that the other party is a real ascetic monk who does not know the age of the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha.
For the first time, he had the feeling of not being able to see through the other.
Unconsciously, the meditation hall became more and more quiet, and the face of the Faceless Buddha gradually distorted, changing into the appearance of Meng Qi's current old man.
I see as it comes, and as it comes, it is me!
As soon as the Buddha's face appeared, the clear glass light poured out from the green lantern, and in front of Meng Qi and the Asura Ancestor, a golden gate full of swastika appeared.
Being a monk is my old job...... Meng Qi secretly laughed at himself, glanced back at the door at the same time as the Asura Ancestor, and then stepped into the "Pure Land Gate" together.
When the figures of the two disappeared, the Blood Killing Daoist suddenly appeared outside the stone temple, with joy and doubt in his eyes. (To be continued.) )
