Chapter Seventy-Five: What Is Pure Heaven?
When the courtiers heard this, they couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
This Jingtiantai leader, who has always been a wise pearl and is known for his strong and domineering, actually took the initiative to admit that he was not as good as this Lin Lan?
Although the Dao of this Lin Dianshou is not worth mentioning in front of the first lord, the great supernatural power can turn it into powder with a slight movement, but this comparison is not the Dao Xing, but the wonderful use of the supernatural power.
It's not as good as it's not as good.
It's just that I didn't expect this Lord First to be willing to take the initiative to admit it?
"But ......"
The Pure Heaven Leader said, "If you learn the Infinite Tribulation, won't you be able to become more perfect? I don't believe that every one of your supernatural powers can overcome the Peerless Tribulation. ”
He looked at Lin Lan and said, "You don't want to apprentice, but as long as you are willing to join Jingtiantai, this seat will immediately give you the identity of Jingtiantai Tisi, and pass on that you are invincible, how about it?" ”
The courtiers immediately understood.
It seems that even if this Lord Leader doesn't accept disciples today, he will win over this Lin Lan.
"Thank you for your kindness."
Lin Lan shook his head slightly and refused: "But my supernatural power is perfect enough, and it is enough that I don't need to refine the Phaseless Tribulation." ”
The main thing is that the Demon Heavenly Master's "Ten Thousand Laws Return to One" supernatural power, the most perfect state is the operation of the six supernatural powers, and there are ten thousand laws to be unified as the core center of operation, unless he is high, he can make modifications on the basis of this supernatural power, otherwise it will not be able to accommodate more supernatural powers.
"Ji Shouzun."
The old national teacher next to him said with a smile: "He is also a Dayu cultivator, since Lin Dianshou chose my human sect, why do you have to drag him to your pure roof?" ”
"Renzong?" The corners of Ji Shouzun's mouth slightly hooked up a hint of mockery, and he didn't say anything.
He pondered for a moment before he looked at Lin Lan and said, "Since Lin Dianshou is so confident in his supernatural powers, how about this seat make a bet with you?" ”
Lin Lan said, "Please speak." ”
Ji Shouzun put his hands behind his back and said softly: "This seat accepted a disciple the year before last, and he has refined his supernatural powers, although his talent is good, but it is indeed far inferior in front of you, not even half of yours." ”
He looked at Lin Lan, "This seat gives you two years, as long as you can defeat him after two years, this seat will give you "Wuxiang Tribulation" for nothing, learn it or not, plus a Tianbao-level flying sword, but if you lose, you only need to join my Jingtiantai, that day's treasure flying sword is still yours, we can make a demon oath, and we will never regret it, how about it?" ”
When the courtiers heard this, they couldn't help but look at Lin Lan in shock, as if they could not suppress the shock in their hearts.
The real treasure is already extremely precious.
But compared to the legendary Tianbao, that is the difference between rotten wood and 100 steel.
Tianbao, that is a divine artifact that contains the power of the great gods!
And the head of Jingtiantai, as a great supernatural power, must be distressed to be able to take out a heavenly treasure, but such an amazing stroke is actually to win over Lin Lan?
No matter whether Lin Lan wins or loses, he can get a Heavenly Treasure level flying sword in two years!
How can this kind of good thing delivered to the door for nothing not be shocking?
"Heavenly Treasure Flying Sword?"
Lin Lan was also slightly stunned, he didn't expect this Pure Heaven Platform Leader to win him over like this.
He couldn't help but glance at the old national teacher.
The old national teacher also seemed to notice Lin Lan's gaze, and immediately smiled: "Ji Shouzun has such a big hand, and the old man is embarrassed to stop it." ”
He looked at Lin Lan and said, "In that case, Lin Xuezheng, you can make a bet with Ji Shouzun." ”
Lin Lan bowed his hand slightly, and saluted: "Ji Shouzun has said so, I naturally agree." ”
He agreed to this bet, and what he cared about most was not the so-called Tianbao Flying Sword.
It is the attitude and position of Ji Shouzun, a great supernatural person.
Since Ji Shouzun wants to use this attitude to win him over, and he is willing to make a demon oath, he will not kill him at will during the two-year gambling contract, at least this is the case on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Although it can be seen from Qiao Baiyue's matter, this Ji Shouzun is not a bright and upright person, even if he will not violate the oath of the heart demon, he will use other methods to bypass it.
But as far as he was concerned, the Yue Pavilion Lord and even the Sect Master of the Human Sect would definitely be willing to protect him, as long as Ji Shouzun didn't take action personally, the situation would be completely different.
It can be stable for at least two years.
"Okay, since you agreed, then we will make a demon oath under the witness of Your Majesty and the ministers."
Ji Shouzun bowed his head slightly, looked at Lin Lan, and asked, "Do you have a heart demon jade?" ”
"Just let the old man prepare." The old national teacher next to him immediately waved his sleeves, and a black jade immediately flew towards Lin Lan.
Lin Lan took the black jade, which was as smooth as a mirror, and it was faintly visible that there was a black mist rolling in it, and it also reflected his appearance.
This is the Heart Demon Jade.
Swear with your own Dao heart, once you break the contract, this kind of inner demon will lead to mental confusion, at least the supernatural power will be scattered and become a mortal, and at the worst the soul will be scattered, so for cultivators, the inner demon oath is the most stable oath.
Even a great supernatural person like Ji Shouzun didn't dare to violate the oath with Qiao Baiyue, and he might not even be the one who gave the order, but before he made the demon oath, he informed his subordinates in advance and bypassed the oath.
Immediately, Wen Chen next to him drafted a reasonable demon oath on the spot.
After the old national teacher, Ji Shouzun, Emperor Yu, and Lin Lan all looked at it and found that there were no loopholes, this made Ji Shouzun and Lin Lan make a demon oath respectively.
As the heart demon oath was completed, the heart demon jade was also shattered, and the black mist turned into a hideous and illusory heart demon, which also merged into the heads of the two and dived into the depths of their hearts.
"Huh?"
At this time, Lin Lan was slightly stunned.
Because he found ......
Under the shroud of the tranquility in his mind, the black mist of the heart demon jade only touched the tranquility, and it was as if the frost had touched the flames, and the fog melted in the blink of an eye!
"Heart Demon Jade...... Doesn't work for me? ”
Lin Lan's expression was under the influence of Qing Jingyi, and there was no wave, but he couldn't help but be surprised in his heart.
Doesn't that mean...... He doesn't need to obey the Demon Oath?
Moreover, the heart demon oath is a change in the heart of the Dao, and the heart of the Tao is an existence of nothingness, who can see it?
"Ji Shouzun, Lin Dianshou."
Emperor Yu looked at the two of them and said, "Since both of you have made a heart demon oath, let's wait for two years." ”
Ji Shouzun bowed slightly, looked at Lin Lan again, and said: "Lin Dianshou can practice with peace of mind, in these two years, as long as Lin Dianshou does not take the initiative to cause trouble, this seat guarantees that no one in this Chonghua City will dare to touch you." ”
As he spoke, he raised his hand again, and a white light flew out from his fingertips and directly integrated into Lin Lan's body.
Lin Lan's face did not change, and he looked at Ji Shouzun calmly.
Ji Shouzun has already made a heart demon oath, which the old national teacher has also witnessed with his own eyes, and he has also checked the heart demon jade of the two, so he can't fake it.
According to the content of the oath, if Ji Shouzun dares to hinder his cultivation, or hurt him or kill him, it is a violation of the oath of the demons.
"Lin Dianshou doesn't need to worry."
Ji Shouzun said suddenly: "This power is only used to protect you, once you are in danger, I will be able to detect and rescue you, and you can let the national teacher check it." ”
The old national teacher's body moved, appeared in front of Lin Lan, investigated it carefully, nodded slightly, and said: "That's true, once this power is triggered, it will dissipate, and it has no other effect." ”
Lin Lan bowed slightly, but he didn't care.
There are still a few days until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and he wishes there were more factors in his favor.
But......
If that's the case, does he have changed his destiny?
After all, Ji Shouzun will have such a change, among which is the factor of the participation of the little black cat, which is not a variable that does not belong to the mandate of heaven, and it stands to reason that the mandate of heaven has changed.
……
After the end of the early dynasty, Lin Lan also returned to the Chonghua Academy with the Yue Pavilion Master.
Originally, he also wanted to receive the reward of the leader of the Chengyuan Guild Examination - a superb magic weapon, a Taiqing Jade Ludan, and two snake demon maidservants.
But he was told that Jing Tiantai had personally sent someone to help him deliver all the rewards to the residence of the school palace.
This made Lin Lan feel a little strange.
……
Jotendai Prefecture Division.
The First Temple.
"Your Excellency."
The Shaking Light Venerable wearing a silver mask stood in the hall, looked up slightly at Ji Shouzun who was sitting on a high place, and said respectfully: "I have asked the three masters to personally escort him according to your instructions, and sent the reward of the Chengyuan Examination to Lin Lan's residence, giving him enough face." ”
"Okay." Ji Shouzun responded casually.
Dressed in white like snow, he sat leaning back, quietly flipping through the books in his hands.
"Lord Chief, I don't understand."
Venerable Shaking Light couldn't help but say, "Those two snake demon women are the best chess pieces to force the dream snake to return to obedience, so they gave it to that Lin Lan?" If you insist on keeping them, no one will dare to say anything. ”
"What's the use of insisting on staying?" Ji Shouzun said: "The dream snake refuses to come out, even if the two snake girls are left, what's the point?" ”
Venerable Shaking Light said: "But that Lin Lan and the county lord have an extraordinary status in the hearts of the national teacher, if these two people come forward, the national teacher may also agree to take action, and when the time comes, the means we left on those two snake demons can be solved with the way of the national teacher." ”
Ji Shouzun said: "Other means are enough, but there is a kind of poison that the national teacher can't solve, and he can't even find it, and I can't even detect its existence if I'm proficient in the poison way, let alone the national teacher?" ”
He continued to flip through the book and said casually: "Those two snake girls will definitely die, and when the time comes, if I make another move, the dream snake will only think that Lin Lan helped Jing Tiantai kill her sister, and with her temperament, she will definitely seek revenge on Lin Lan." ”
"But...... The county lord has long known that we have arrangements around the palace, and I am afraid that I will not let the dream snake leave the palace of King Qian. ”
Venerable Shaking Light sighed and said, "If that dream snake has been cowering in King Qian's mansion, we can't do anything about her, and it's ......."
Speaking of this, she said with some concern: "I heard that today you made a demon oath with that Lin Lan in the palace, if you hurt that Lin Lan because of this, then I'm afraid you will ......."
Ji Shouzun said: "Don't worry, it's all in my plan." ”
He looked at the book in his hand and said, "This book is the general outline of the Buddha's "Great Dream Heart Sutra", plus the experiments done on the dream snake and the fragments of the divine soul that were stripped away, I am not completely helpless against the dream sea. ”
"Are you able to dive into the Dream Sea like a dream snake?" Venerable Shaking Light couldn't help but be shocked.
"Not really."
Ji Shouzun said: "Today, after I made a demon oath with Lin Lan, I left a power on him, that is the power of the dream snake soul simulated by me through the Great Dream Heart Sutra, if the dream snake wants to kill Lin Lan, I must pull him into the dream sea, and when the time comes, I can follow Lin Lan into the dream sea and catch the dream snake." ”
Venerable Shaking Light suddenly understood, and said softly, "In this way, you can also protect Lin Lan without causing him to be harmed?" ”
"Since I have made an oath of demons, it is naturally impossible for me to deal with that Lin Lan." Ji Shouzun said: "It's just that by Lin Lan's matter, I killed two birds with one stone." ”
Venerable Shaking Light suddenly said, "Today you said in the palace that you would give Lin Lan a heavenly treasure, also for this purpose?" ”
She immediately said: "Lord Shouzun, don't worry, I don't need your order, in the future, I will find an opportunity to send someone to get rid of that Lin Lan, and you don't need to send Tianbao in two years." ”
"Stupid!"
Ji Shouzun's eyes were cold, and the astonishing coercion suddenly spread, and the cold momentum completely enveloped the Shaking Light Venerable.
Shake Light Venerable was terrified in his heart, and immediately trembled and knelt on the ground, looking at the First Venerable in fear, not understanding what he had done wrong.
"How?"
Ji Shouzun said coldly: "Do you think what I did in the palace today is just to treat that Lin Lan as a chess piece?" ”
Venerable Shaking Light trembled slightly, not daring to say a word.
"Yes, the dream snake is very useful, and it is no less useful to me than a great supernatural person."
Ji Shouzun said indifferently: "But Lin Lan is much more important than the dream snake, as long as he continues to cultivate like this, his future achievements will be absolutely extraordinary, and the significance to me is not much worse than that of the county lord, you still want to get rid of him?" It's stupid! ”
He stared coldly at Venerable Shaking Light and said, "Have you forgotten the meaning of the existence of the Pure Heaven Terrace, the meaning of the word Pure Heaven?" ”
Venerable Shaking Light said in a trembling voice: "My subordinates dare not forget. ”
Ji Shouzun glanced at her indifferently, and then he restrained his coercion.
Immediately, he tapped his fingertips on the armrest of the seat and said softly: "With Lin Lan's current Taoism, it should be almost refined into a supernatural power in two years, and when the time comes, adding a Heavenly Treasure Flying Sword to protect oneself can be regarded as some self-preservation." ”
"The first lord has a wandering eye, and he is magnanimous." Venerable Shaking Light said: "It is the subordinates who are narrow-minded and short-sighted, and I hope that you will forgive your sins. ”
"It has nothing to do with generosity."
Ji Shouzun said indifferently: "It's just that this is more beneficial to the situation of my Dayu, the two sects of Taoism and Buddha are harboring evil intentions, and the Northern Qi Dynasty is even more sealed to cultivate snakes, if it weren't for the earth-shattering move of the first national teacher eight hundred years ago, I'm afraid that my Dayu would have destroyed the country a long time ago, and what I need most is a person like the first national teacher of the year, who can overwhelm the power of the two sects of Taoism and Buddhism." ”
Venerable Shaking Light was stunned for a moment.
Ji Shouzun narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "This Lin Lan has such hope, but it's a pity that he is a little ruined in the Human Sect, the group of foolish people in the Human Sect only know to follow the humane concept of the first generation of national teachers, but they have never thought that the reason why the first generation of national teachers act so benevolently and righteously is precisely because of his invincible Taoism in the world!" ”
"Only the strong are worthy to talk about benevolence and righteousness, and the weak can only be abandoned."
He said indifferently: "In this cruel world, what Da Yu needs is not benevolence and righteousness, but a strong man, the county lord, or Lin Lan, if one of them can be successful, I Da Yu will be saved." ”
The hall was silent for a long time, and Venerable Shaoguang said in a low voice: "Speaking of the county lord, Lord Shouzun, it seems that the county lord does not understand your painstaking efforts, after entering the palace yesterday to report to His Majesty, His Majesty also symbolically gave a punishment, saying that your offering this year has been halved." ”
Ji Shouzun naturally didn't care about this so-called offering, but said calmly: "Your Majesty is dying, and there are still a few years to live at most." ”
"How many years?" Venerable Shaking Light said softly: "It seems that the battle between the crown prince and King Xuan is getting more and more intense. ”
"Although this majesty is not mediocre and incompetent, it is true that he has not made any political achievements, so if he dies, he will die."
Ji Shouzun said: "As for the prince and King Xuan, they are just short-sighted, and they still want to change the state religion to Buddhism and Taoism? If a country has lost its soul, what kind of country is it? Although the group of guys in the Renzong are stupid, they are also based on Dayu after all, and Buddhism and Taoism still want to become the state religion? ”
He sneered and said, "Your Majesty is also a little partial to the Buddha, perhaps because of the support of the bitter monk, today in front of me is a little more majestic, it's really interesting." ”
"That'...... Your Excellency, do we need to raise a new prince? Venerable Shaking Light asked.
"Let's look for it, there's no hurry."
Ji Shouzun bowed slightly, and then frowned and said: "The key is that the old national teacher is about to die, yesterday I saved the county lord with the hand of the heavens who simulated his lifeless robbery, and acted a scene for the people of the Buddha Hall and the Worship Dao Hall to see, although they reluctantly deceived the two sects of the Daoist Buddha, so that they thought that the old national teacher and student could hold on for a long time, but ......"
He slowly closed his eyes, his face a little more tired, "Once the old national teacher really dies, it will be difficult to hide it." ”
