Chapter 36: The Birth of the Buddha's Treasure
When everyone heard her say this, everyone was curious, and they said in unison: "What dream? ”
Qian Mei'er's eyes rolled and she smiled: "Isn't it possible that Chengdu has a spring dream?" Hee-hee! ”
Phantom Ji smiled and shook her head and handed them the jade tube, and everyone looked at each other with great amusement.
It turned out that just a few days after they took the royal city, many young monks from the Xianchen Continent had a dream, whether it was the same dream or not, there was no specific conclusion, only that a large number of young monks left the temple and went on the road the next day. These monks are all among the best of the younger generation of the major monasteries, and even many monks in retreat and ascetic practice have set out of the customs ahead of schedule despite their own practice. Of course, there are also many "old monks" who claim that they also had the same dream and began to set off on the road, but the truth is unknown.
None of these monks revealed what they had dreamed of, but some people still found out the news by various means, and the news soon spread throughout the Immortal Dust Continent. I heard that it was the Buddha who appeared to the Buddha and told them that the Buddha treasure was about to be born, so a trial was prepared, and those who passed were eligible to inherit the Buddha treasure. As for where the Buddha treasure is, it is not known, but some people judge that the Buddha treasure should be in the mortal continent according to the direction in which the monks are advancing.
Many disciples of scattered cultivators and major sects began to follow those monks spontaneously, and they followed them wherever those monks went, and it seemed that many monks had already come to the mortal dust continent and were rushing to a certain place.
Ling Ning said: "Buddhism in the Mortal Dust Continent is withering, how can the Buddha Treasure be in the Mortal Dust Continent?" Even if it were, it should have been taken away a long time ago, would it have waited until now? It's hard to figure out. ”
Phantom Ji said: "It's not clear, anyway, now the big monks, the little monks, and the middle monks who are not big or small have all come to the mortal dust continent, I believe that it won't be long before the entire mortal dust continent will be lively......
……
As one of the five major sects, the Nine Shadows Evil Sect is located in the famous "Ten Thousand Miles Abyss" in the Mortal Dust Continent, in this 10,000-meter-deep giant sinkhole, there are no plants and trees, and there are sharp and hard rocks like blades everywhere, if ordinary people step on a step, their skin will instantly open their flesh. An incomparably large amethyst stretched upwards from the bottom of the sinkhole, and the Nine Shadows Evil Sect was built on this incomparably hard amethyst.
The building complex of the Nine Shadows Evil Sect consists of a main building and three towers, and the whole is mainly black, the most spectacular of which is the "Black Tower" that is two hundred meters high and has a cone shape that is level with the sinkhole.
I heard that the Nine Shadows Evil Sect of the Mortal Dust Continent was modeled after the Nine Shadows Evil Sect of the Immortal Dust Continent, and the Nine Shadows Evil Sect of the Immortal Dust Continent was built in the bottomless "Demon Eye Abyss", it is said that only the disciples of this sect know where the entrance is, and it is difficult for ordinary monks to enter the sky, which is also an important reason why the Nine Shadows still stand in the Mortal Dust Continent after thousands of years and countless decent sieges.
At this moment, in the "Black Tower", the tallest building of the Nine Shadows Evil Sect, a man in black knelt in front of the throne.
"Sect Master, judging from the corpse of the Broken Soul, he was searched for before he died...... And the true element of his whole body has been drained, I can't find out the identity of the enemy after months of inability to check, and what kind of spell the other party used, please give the sect master a sin! ”
A man with long body and long black hair standing by the window with his hands in his hands.
"There is actually a more powerful technique in this world than the 'Heaven Devouring Demon Skill'......"
The man turned around, he seemed to be about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and he looked quite handsome, but his skin was unhealthily pale because he had not seen the sun for too long, although his whole person gave people an unhealthy feeling, but his eyes were full of essence, revealing the majesty and wisdom of the superior person.
"Sect Master, what should we do, please ask the Sect Master to show ......"
Before the man could finish speaking, the door slammed open!
A man with a round body strode in with a big belly, and he said as he walked: "What should I do?" That kid was so scared that he actually ran to someone else's territory, and he didn't care what he was doing if he didn't know whether he was alive or dead? Now that the whole continent is rumoring that the Buddha treasure has been born, the monks on the Immortal Dust Continent are coming to us in groups, what do you have to say about breaking the shock? ”
The man in black who was kneeling on the ground saw him rushing in, jumped up and said angrily: "Break the sky! I'm talking to the sect master, you dare to break in, you are too presumptuous! ”
The fat man's eldest son had a fat face that was harmless to humans and animals, and he said "hehe" and smiled: "Everyone is surnamed and the same sect, presumably the sect master will not care about these details, why do you need to make a fuss about the storm?" ”
"You!"
Breaking the Wind was about to step forward to teach a lesson with a resentful face, but he overheard the sect master say: "Shaotian, it's presumptuous. ”
Although these five words are said lightly, each word reveals an undeniable majesty. The fat man called Duan Shaotian seemed to know that he was too "casual", he took a step back and knelt down with a "poof".
"Sect Master, Shaotian is just impulsive, please punish the Sect Master."
As if the sect master hadn't heard, he looked at the ceiling in a daze, and only waved his hand for a moment to get Duan Shaotian up.
"Put aside the frightened things first, he has long had a ban in his mind, and what should not be leaked will definitely not be leaked. As for those monks, hmph, who knows if they are all real Buddhas or fake Buddhas...... The plan remains the same! This seat requires all the monks who have stepped into the Nine Nether Realms to have a copy of the 'Heaven Devouring Demon Skill'! Hmph, go ahead and do your job! ”
Broken Wind and Broken Shaotian said in unison: "Obey!" Then he slowly retreated.
After the two of them retreated, the void behind the sect master writhed, and there seemed to be a transparent figure moving slowly. The shadow stopped behind the Sect Master, only to hear the Sect Master say, "How's the plan going?" ”
The transparent shadow said, "Half of the array has been corroded, but there are not enough people......
"How much worse?"
"At least two million ......"
"Isn't there still 800,000 in the Eastern Secluded Capital City? Plus more than a dozen large cities nearby...... Enough. ”
"But in this way, I'm afraid that there won't be many people in Dongyou......"
"Isn't it great that their deaths can contribute a little bit to the great cause? Hehe, I'm making their lives more valuable, don't you say? ”
In the end, he seemed to be talking to himself, and the transparent shadow was gone.
……
About half a month later, Qin Fei had recovered more than half of the land of Zhao State, and the unification of Zhao State was just around the corner, and at the same time, the three surrounding empires continued to send envoys to try to win over Qin Fei, but they were all dragged by Qin Fei for various reasons.
The royal city also began to get on the right track under the rule of the rebels, and the people finally lived a relatively stable life.
Qian Mei'er received the latest news from the sect, which said that the matter of the Buddha Treasure might really be true, and the location was likely to be in the territory of Dongyou, so they quickly went to find out.
Even the three of them lacked ambition for this Buddha treasure, but since the sect ordered them to do so, they had to set off to take a look.
Ling Ning told Qin Xi: "Xi'er, I'm about to part with you, I hope you will cultivate diligently, if you have any questions, send me a letter." ”
Qin Xiyi reluctantly said: "Although Xi'er really wants to go with Shizun, but my brother can't go on an expedition outside the royal city without anyone to manage it, and when he calms down the affairs of Zhao State, the apprentice must go to Shizun!" ”
Ling Ning nodded and said, "You can only practice the exercises I passed on to you slowly, don't be in a hurry, you have to keep in mind the four words 'perseverance'." ”
Qin Xi nodded heavily and said, "Xi'er remembers!" ”
Compared to the way she looked when she first saw Qin Xi, although her cultivation has not improved greatly now, her entire aura has completely changed. If she used to be an undisciplined "wild child", now she has transformed into a "little princess". This is due to the various "rules" in the exercises, from the beginning of every step to stop luck, to now the master is very familiar, it can be said that the progress is rapid. She has begun to exude an indescribable "extravagance", and even Qian Mei'er, who has always been good at charming, is amazed by this transformation.
And Phantom Ji has always done her own thing, she has a different opinion on this kind of transformation, it is better to be free than to be restrained, although Ling Ning also agrees, but he only got a small part of this exercise, and the content behind it is unknown, after all, he is still willing to believe in the palace master, this immortal realm exercise must have something unique.
Early in the morning, Ling Ning and the three of them rode fast horses and set off, and the destination of their trip was the Dongyou Empire. The three of them decided to take a short approach, but this inevitably had to pass through the Zhongsheng Empire, that is, the territory of the Shangqing Sect. Not to mention the grievances and entanglements between Ling and Qian and the Qing Sect, just by virtue of their status as disciples of Shui Yuetian, it was easy to cause trouble, so the three of them were prepared to pass quickly and cautiously in a low-key manner.
Along the way, they met quite a few monks, most of whom were young monks. Some of the monks were neatly dressed and walked like flying, while others were ragged and walked slowly with their heads bowed, but they were all moving in the direction of the Eastern Empire. The peculiar thing is that these monks are more or less followed by a group of monks, some are loose cultivators, some are disciples of major sects, most of these people are low-level monks, and some individual bodies have obscure aura and seem to be quite extraordinary.
The journey was quite smooth in the first few days, but when I saw that there was still a day to go from Dongyou, there was still an accident.
The only Grand Canyon leading to Dongyou was densely packed with people, most of them monks, followed by monks. Although there are many roads that can lead to Dongyou after landing from the mortal dust continent, and you can even go around and land directly in Dongyou, but these roads take too long and are full of dangers, and everyone in front of the Buddha treasure will naturally choose the fastest path, that is, the Grand Canyon of the Zhongsheng Empire in this way.
A two-person high platform was erected at the entrance in front of the Grand Canyon, and the flag of the Shangqing Sect was hung on the flagpole above. Hundreds of disciples of the Shangqing Sect dressed in white blocked the entrance to the Grand Canyon layer by layer, and no one was allowed to pass through.
This behavior aroused strong dissatisfaction among the monks present, and the monks clamored for the Shangqing Sect to make way, while the monks bowed their heads and silently recited "Amitabha", as if they had no quarrel with the world. Ling Ning and the three of them quietly mixed in the crowd and wanted to wait for the development of things, now if they take a detour, it will take an extra month or two, it is estimated that by that time, the Buddha treasure will have already been spent elsewhere, and naturally no one will take a detour.
Ling Ning observed the stone walls on both sides of the canyon and whispered, "Is there a post station near here, if you can take a crane and other demon beasts, you may be able to fly over directly." ”
Qian Mei'er shook her head and said: "The post station will only be set up within the territory of the empire, or lead to an important city in a small country, and it is impossible to have direct access to other empires, hmph, what is the Shangqing Sect planning, do you want to swallow the Buddha treasure alone?" ”
Seeing that the crowd was excited, a young man walked up on the high platform, who seemed to be in his early twenties, wearing a white robe embroidered with stars and cranes, which was quite luxurious, with a golden sword hanging from his waist, handsome in appearance, but with seven points of sharpness between his eyebrows and eyes, he was obviously an unruly figure.
After the man came to the stage, he casually bowed his hand: "Qi Huan of the Qing Sect in Xia, everyone is invited!" ”
Some people in the audience couldn't bear it anymore and shouted loudly: "Hey! What's going on with your Shangqing Sect? Could it be that the entire Zhongsheng Empire is your territory? ”
"That's right, it's actually closed! You're too domineering! ”
"The dogs of the Shangqing Sect should get out of the way of the grandfathers! Be careful that grandpas are not polite and cheer up grandchildren! ”
As soon as these words came out, they immediately caused a burst of laughter, but Qi Huan frowned, and then waved his hand lightly in one direction. Suddenly two monks rushed forward behind him and "tied" the monk who was "talking wildly" to the high platform, the man was quite tall, and the muscles of his whole body were bulging, obviously a strong man, but under the hands of these two monks, he was as obedient as a chicken.
Ling Ning and the others had sharp eyes, and they had already seen that the cultivation of the two monks who made the attack was extraordinary, I am afraid that there were cultivators in the late stage of the Zhudan Period, and they could be regarded as masters when they looked at the entire Mortal Dust Continent.
Although the strong man was afraid, he was still unforgiving: "What are you going to do?" There are so many monks in the Immortal Dust Continent here, you have to be respectful! ”
Qi Huan smiled and said: "I heard you insult my Shangqing Sect, and I thought it was a terrifying master, tsk, it turned out to be just a small miscellaneous crumb!" ”
After saying that, he raised his right hand and compared the hand knife and then fell down fiercely, the two monks understood, and one of them drew his long sword and cut off the strong man's head with a sword in the exclamation of everyone!
Blood splattered!
The onlookers were shocked, they didn't expect that the people of the Shangqing Sect would dare to kill people in front of everyone!
"Amitabha, the Shangqing Sect is inevitably too domineering!"
In the crowd, a young monk jumped onto the high platform, this monk was kind and kind and dressed in an earthy yellow monk's robe, quite ordinary. He walked straight to the corpse of the strong man and silently recited the Buddhist scriptures for him, and the monks present also chanted the sutras together. Thinking about it, this man didn't expect that after his death, so many monks would be able to surpass him, maybe he could really "ascend to Bliss early".
Qi Huan's face did not change and said: "This master, haven't you asked for the Dharma number yet?" ”
After the monk finished reciting the Buddhist scriptures, he said "Amitabha Buddha" slowly: "The little monk 'Lingquan Temple' Zhikong, what the Shangqing Sect did was too ruthless, this benefactor just took people's lives with a few words, does it regard the heroes of the world as nothing?" ”
As soon as Qi Huan heard that the other party was from "Lingquan Temple", "haha" smiled and said: "It turned out to be a senior monk of Lingquan Temple, disrespectful and disrespectful!" Just now, it was not that I was unreasonable, but that this brother first insulted my Shangqing Sect, and if I didn't immediately stop it, I was afraid that I would not be able to convince the public. Since the master felt that it was a mistake to do so...... Hey, hey, come on! and bury him thickly, and bury him in ...... Hey, it's buried at the entrance to the Grand Canyon! ”
This is obviously "killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys", as soon as he said this, everyone was angry, but at the same time secretly frightened, it seems that the Shangqing Sect has calculated everything, if you don't follow the arrangement of the Shangqing Sect today, you are afraid that you will end up like this person.
Zhikong was greatly disappointed when he heard this, but he could only shake his head and chant a few words: "Amitabha! ”
Several disciples of the Shangqing Sect stepped forward to drag the corpse away and bury it on the spot, Qi Huan smiled and said, "Master, you can go over." ”
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned again, just now it was clear that it was not allowed to be allowed, why is it let again now?
Zhikong raised his head and wondered, "What does the donor mean by this?" ”
Qi Huan smiled and said loudly: "Everyone, listen! We have received news that the Dongyou Empire is not peaceful now! That is the territory of the Nine Shadows Evil Sect of the Cult, our Shangqing Sect adheres to the principle of 'responsibility', and any monk who wants to pass through the Grand Canyon must be escorted by a disciple of my Shangqing Sect throughout the process! Hehe, if the monk wants to go over...... Then please come to the stage and try your skills, I Shangqing Sect is nothing remarkable, there is a formation that is passable, if anyone can break the formation, please pass at will, and never stop it! ”
Qi Huan clapped his hands, and the seven disciples walked up to the high platform, these seven people were divided into five men and two women, all dressed in white, and they looked dignified. Two of the women appeared to be younger, probably fourteen or fifteen years old, while the other five men were probably between sixteen or seventeen years old. Ling Ning quietly opened the "Pupil Technique: True Vision" to probe their strength, and found that everyone had a thick True Yuan condensed in their bodies, and they were all early stage cultivators!
Ling Ning said: "What a big show, he actually dispatched seven disciples of the Dan Stage in one go, tsk, they are all so young, the Shangqing Sect is really amazing, amazing!" ”
Phantom Ji looked at the seven people for a long time, and suddenly said, "It turned out to be them!" ”
