025: Cultivating is not the way, but seeking demons
"Master, what do you mean...... This so-called mourner, and those monsters who have lost their hearts, are all things with the same root and origin? ”
Jing Shen bowed slightly.
"What the donor said is good."
Such a simple statement made Gu Changsheng fall into contemplation. His thoughts faltered at this moment, and his face began to cloud.
If the loss of heart is the subordinate of mourning, and the hell gate is a well-organized and clear category of subordinate and subordinate division.
That means...... The yellow-skinned monster he encountered in Jiuhuan Village, as well as the so-called Yin Lord.
Maybe they're all members of the gates of hell?
The Yin Lord can directly win people's hearts, and the yellow-skinned monster is very respectful to the Yin Lord.
This is like a class division that is linked to a ring, and with Gu Changsheng's tidying, it has become clear and organized.
"Master, I'...... I still have a question! ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say that's okay."
Gu Changsheng's eyes were now slightly red, his emotions were abnormal, and he was standing in place at the moment, staring directly at the two monks in front of him.
"Lost heart becomes a mourner, what is next? What are they capable of? ”
Everything else can be put aside for a while, and then it will be carefully investigated later. But for Gu Changsheng at the moment, the threat of Master Yin is imminent.
He has to find out what the other party is capable of, so that he can protect himself!
No doubt.
As it is now, it must be the closest Gu Changsheng has come to the 'truth' of the Hell Gate.
The pure prudence in front of him did not speak for the first time, the little monk first glanced at the abbot, got his approval, and listened to the abbot's prompt.
"I can't open my mouth to the other sects, but they are hell gates...... That's fine. ”
"The disciple receives the order."
Jing Shen nodded, turned around, and opened his mouth to Gu Changsheng and said.
"Donor, the ability of the Hell Gate is focused on a 'death' door. The children of his disciples must have a general understanding of the so-called method of death and live towards death in order to gain the appreciation of their master. ”
"People who have lost their hearts are as I just said, as long as they are successfully resurrected, they can ensure that water and fire are not invaded, and these people do not need to eat and sleep, conditions permit, day and night without sleep is also a trivial matter."
"Go up further, after achieving the position of condolence, it will make the body incorruptible. Don't even be afraid of having your hands and feet cut off, as long as you handle it properly, whether it's your own or someone else's things, it's feasible. ”
And above the condolences is the realm called the tiger skin. At this level, the physical body is already an external thing, left behind, beyond the mortal. The tiger is tireless and tireless, and can dream of souls, as long as the timing is right, the harm is not a problem. ”
Jing Shen kept talking, but Gu Changsheng on the side had already heard it with straight eyes. He had indeed guessed that these sects must have many strange abilities, but when he really heard it, Gu Changsheng couldn't help but sigh.
"How can you still have such a weird ability?"
Resurrection from the dead, fire and water do not melt. Further down, you can even reconnect the severed limb...... Even Gu Changsheng noticed the level of 'Tiger Skin'.
The physical body is already an external thing......
This kind of image is not exactly the same as the yellow-skinned monster he saw in the Nine Ring Village?!
Needless to say, Gu Changsheng didn't have the heart to touch it. And going deeper, this guy can still dream of souls?
Gu Changsheng couldn't make up the specific skills of this guy, but at the moment, listening to Jing Shen, there was a chance that he should be a tricky guy.
It seems that I was lucky to be able to escape from that thing's hands.
But speaking of which, Gu Changsheng was also a little strange.
"Master, why is the name of the Hell Gate so strange after reaching this third level?"
Tiger skin.
The tone of this statement is obviously different from the previous loss of heart and condolences, and there are some obvious stylistic differences.
When Jing Shen heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he opened his mouth to say.
"Have you ever heard of a tiger in the benefactor?"
As the old saying goes, the tiger is the tiger, which usually means two things.
One is to encourage the accomplices of the wicked and to be the companions of evil.
The second is that the tiger eats people and becomes a ghost, tempting people to eat.
This kind of interpretation Gu Changsheng is clear, and it can be applied to the current environment...... It has to be the latter.
As if he understood what Gu Changsheng was thinking, Jing Shen nodded slightly, and opened his mouth to say.
“地狱门中,前三级为下等之席,搏的是众生之所长,修的是恶运尘缘,本不足为道。 And at the fourth level, these disciples can be regarded as entering the house. ”
"Because ......"
"The name of this fourth-level is none other than Master Yin."
Yin Lord.
This is actually the name of the fourth level in the Hell Gate?!
Hearing this, Gu Changsheng's eyes couldn't help but widen slightly. Before he could say anything, he listened to the Tao Jingshen continue to add.
"Tiger skin, tiger skin, is the key to the third-level gate of this Hell Gate. At this level, the tiger skin needs to be offered to the Yin master, serve him left and right, and not complain for the sake of cattle and horses. ”
"After Master Yin is successful and famous, and after he rises steadily, Tiger Lingpi has an opportunity to get the method of ascension. Usually, this round will have several tiger skins competing with each other, or will be named by the Yin Master, and finally one will be decided. ”
"And this tiger skin will take over the position of the Yin Master and become his inheritance."
Hearing this, Gu Changsheng completely understood.
His expression became a little excited, because Gu Changsheng found that what he knew was almost the same as what he heard at the moment!
In Jiuhuan Village, what did Gu Changsheng see?
A paper-tied carriage, driven by two paper-tied horses, carrying four paper-tied people, enshrined a middle-aged man!
If what Jing Shen said was true, then what he saw was the so-called Yin Master traveling. Combined with what I heard at the beginning......
This Yin Master has completed some kind of ritual, and now he is about to ascend!
"Yin master, tiger skin ......"
I see, I see.
All the clues were connected together, which made Gu Changsheng feel relieved. His eyes trembled slightly, and he suddenly felt transparent!
Gu Changsheng understood everything.
Hell Gate.
This sect, which has continued to the era of Gu Changsheng's foothold, seems to have extraordinary vitality? From his point of view......
Knowing how to die, living towards death.
This is undoubtedly a very strange idea.
From the very beginning of the practice, the doorman needs to dig out his heart and liver, and he still doesn't swallow his breath, and in the end, this can achieve the ability of the heartless.
But thinking of this, Gu Changsheng couldn't help but sigh softly. He realized something was wrong, looked up and opened his mouth.
"Master, but I've also seen some people who have lost their hearts. Although those people are also as you said, their skin and flesh are not refined, and they are as ordinary as me, and they can fight one or two with their hands......"
Yes.
If according to what Jingshen and the abbot said, this heartless person is already invulnerable, then how can he take two heartless people lightly with only a blunt weapon fire tongs in his hand?
Could it be that Gu Changsheng also has any ability to reach the heavens, which he hasn't even discovered yet?
When Jing Shen heard this, he smiled toothily. He looked at Gu Changsheng with a little more ridicule in his eyes, and then continued.
"The donor has misunderstood."
"As the little monk said before, the method of hell gate is not universal for everyone. If you want to really get started, you need some secret doors to complement each other, otherwise you ......"
"How can ordinary people still have a way to survive when they dig out their livers?"
"In addition, as the benefactor said, it should be the living dead who were mutilated by appropriating the means of hell gates. These people have no real flesh and skin, no souls, and they are already dead corpses. ”
"How can such a appearance be compared to a living person?"
These words made Gu Changsheng hear a little bit of the doorway, and it also solved his previous little doubts - not all people who have lost their hearts can be called heartless.
But somehow.
Gu Changsheng always felt a little strange.
He frowned, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly remembered where the strange feeling came from.
"Master, you said before...... There is a great terror between the practices, how should this sentence be explained? ”
Judging from the statements of these two monks, these monks do not seem to advocate, or even discourage, Gu Changsheng from joining the practice.
This is a little strange, after all, in Gu Changsheng's opinion, isn't the more so-called disciples of the sect, the better?
The abbot raised his palm with one hand, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyebrows, and said something that was indistinct. Then Gu Changsheng saw him sigh lightly, and then said.
"Donor, the path of cultivation is by no means as easy as you think. For example, when we and other Buddhas enter the door, we cannot satisfy our appetites, we cannot ask for physical desires, and we will never be involved in the joyful events, red and white things, and sad things of people, and we will no longer be implicated in them......"
"How can it be such a bland and pure cultivation, how can it be a suffering that ordinary people can accept?"
"Going deeper, like the gates of hell. What he does is to abandon the common things of human morality, and what he seeks is the way that all things are disgusted by all people. ”
"Practice...... It's not about cultivating, it's about self-cultivation. ”
"Cultivating is not the way, but seeking demons."
Seeking demons?
This kind of words came out of the mouth of a senior monk, and Gu Changsheng really had an indescribable sense of grotesqueness in his heart. Although he didn't understand the meaning at the moment, he didn't dare to refute it, so he had to nod his head at this time.
Seeing that Gu Changsheng listened to his words, the abbot nodded slightly, and fumbled in his arms for a while.
After a while, he took out a string of gray-yellow Buddha beads with his backhand and handed it directly to Gu Changsheng.
"Donor, according to what you said, that Yin Master should have been doing evil in your place for a long time. The methods of the Hell Gate are evil, and the lives of living beings are not important on weekdays, so if the poor monk guesses it......"
"I'm afraid there's a Yin Master who is preparing a ritual that will take it further."
Gu Changsheng nodded slightly, although he didn't tell the abbot clearly, the latter was also aware of Gu Changsheng's current situation...... To have such insight, the abbot must not be simple.
