Tianchongcheng.

Inn, private room on the second floor.

"Junior, Chu Qian (Lin whispering), thank you for the life-saving grace of the two seniors."

Chu Qian, a disciple of the Immortal Chef Sect, and Lin Qingyu, a disciple of the Spirit Soul Sect, saluted at the same time, very respectful.

"Come on, come on, sit down first, don't be so inhibited."

Lu Xuan beckoned the two to sit down, with a smile on his face.

"What's going on over there at Tianchong Temple?"

Lu Xuan asked.

"Back to the words of the seniors."

Chu Qian spoke:

"The disciples of Tianchong Temple have all turned into a part of the demon's body, except for some miscellaneous servants, none of the Buddhist cultivators in the whole temple have survived.

The people and ordinary monks who participated in the feast, when the incident happened, the seniors present responded in a timely manner, and there was no major problem. ”

Lu Xuan nodded slightly:

"You did a good job yesterday, and the people and monks who participated in the feast were saved, and you have great merit."

"Actually, I didn't do anything."

Chu Qian was a little embarrassed by Lu Xuan's praise, and he didn't think that he almost fell in Tianchong Temple last night in order to pass on the news.

"If you really want to say that you have merit, it has to be Lin Daoyou."

Chu Qian thought for a while:

"Last night, I saw the strange behavior of Tianchong Temple, and I was full of enthusiasm, and I wanted to go down with Lin Daoyou, if she hadn't stopped me in time...... The consequences are unimaginable, she is brave and strategic. ”

"Don't praise me like that."

Lin shook his head softly, "I entered that crypt to find out the truth about the disappearance of my sect elder, which is far less than Chu Daoyou's deep understanding. ”

"Okay, okay, don't be humble if you don't care about deeds, you two."

Cheng Lingzhu raised his glass with a smile, "Come, on behalf of the people here, I will give a glass to the two knights." ”

"The predecessors praised it falsely, but they didn't dare to be it, and they didn't dare to be ......"

The two of them hurriedly raised the teacup on the table, and after drinking the tea in the cup, Chu Qian's eyes widened suddenly:

"This tea, this tea...... It's ......"

"The one picked from the Enlightenment Tree in the Nine Secluded Forbidden Lands has a thicker taste, I don't know if you young people like it or not."

Lu Xuan said with a smile.

He usually doesn't drink much tea from this tree, but the Enlightenment Tree in the Nine Secluded Forbidden Land is getting older, and even the tea soup of the new tea is very strong.

Lu Xuan is a young man, and when he was with Cheng Lingzhu, the two of them drank tea from the [Gutuo Forbidden Land], and the enlightenment tree of this family would be nirvana once every hundred years, and new trees would grow on the original site.

The Wudao tea in the forbidden land of Gutuo has a sweet taste, and it leaves a fragrance on the lips and teeth after drinking.

Every time Lu Xuan goes down the mountain, he has to go there to buy goods, he is more introverted, he is embarrassed to trouble others, and he picks leaves by himself.

The Lord of the Forbidden Land was touched by this.

"Seniors, we ...... We ......"

Enlightenment tea is precious, even the leader of the Great Sect will only drink it once in a while, Chu Qian is a little incoherent, and he doesn't know what to say.

"This is what heroes deserve."

Lu Xuan stopped his words and said with a smile:

"If you say thank you again, it will look pedantic."

Hearing Lu Xuan say this, the two had to swallow the words back from their mouths.

After taking a sip of tea soup, Lin whispered and slowly exhaled:

"Last night, my hiding house was broken and fell into the hands of Kongwen, and I thought he was going to kill me on the spot...... What a blessing. ”

She still remembers the experience of last night, and still has lingering palpitations.

"It has nothing to do with luck, does it?"

Chu Qian drank Wudao tea and had a clear mind:

"After all, you don't have any threat in front of others, our Immortal Chef Sect disciples buy chickens and come back, and they often raise them for two days before killing them."

Lin whispered: "......"

"Thank you so much."

She looked at Chu Qian and squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth.

"It should be, it should be."

Chu Qian smiled brightly.

The two of them drank their respective teas, and Chu Qian asked curiously:

"Senior Lu, what is the origin of that demon in Tianchong Temple? Lin Daoyou said that this demon was incarnated by a senior of their sect, but how could a good person become like that? ”

"You want to know?"

Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows.

The two looked at each other and nodded.

Although it can be roughly understood that Tianchong Temple is raising demons, there are still many doubts in the hearts of the two of them about this case.

"I was in the Tianchong Temple, and I found the codex left by Kongwen."

Kongwen is a personal disciple of Tianchong Buddha and the second-generation head of Tianchong Temple.

Lu Xuan took out a roll of jade slips and spread them out on the table:

"The origin of this matter has to come from the body of the Heavenly Buddha."

"Heavenly Buddha?"

Chu Qian was stunned.

"Not bad."

Lu Xuan pointed to the codex on the table:

"Everyone in the world knows that the Buddha of Heaven is born in the stove hall, watching the birth and death of the bottom fire, and comprehending the Buddha's meaning, but there is another hidden truth in this matter."

He paused:

It is recorded in this codex that Tianchong Buddha was a man in a large temple, and suddenly one day, a meteor fell to the ground at night and smashed through the room.

The person on duty that night happened to be the Heavenly Buddha, and he went up to check, but saw that there was a square piece of 'meat' in the pit, about the size of a human head.

According to the memories of the Buddha, this meat is 'white and soft, condensed like fat, with internal lines and a peculiar fragrance'.

At that time, the Heavenly Buddha was a reckless man, and he only thought that there were monks fighting in the air, killing some birds, and the pieces of meat that fell from his body.

He cooked food for the masters in the temple, and he ate vegetarian food, so he was naturally happy to pick up such a piece of 'spirit beast meat' for nothing.

So he cut the meat into thin slices and ate it raw that night.

After eating a piece, Tianchong Buddha felt that his ears and eyes were clear, his body was strong, and he was much stronger than before.

After eating two slices, he will have a clear mind and a lively mind, and many things that he did not understand before will suddenly be understood, and many things that he could not understand before can be understood at once.

So Tianchong Buddha ate a whole piece of 'spirit animal meat', opened the wisdom root, and the Dharma in his heart became self-contained, and embarked on the road of cultivation. ”

When Chu Qian and Lin whispered this, they felt a little scrutinized.

Just looking at the description of the piece of meat by the Heavenly Buddha, you know that there is something wrong with this thing, and normal people have to hesitate for a long time if they want to eat it.

But the Heavenly Buddha took it for granted that it was the meat of the spirit beast, and even ate it raw without any cooking means.

The two of them had a faint guess that there might be some demonic power on that piece of meat, and it was deliberately lured by the Heavenly Buddha to eat itself.

"Senior Lu, there is a record in the cultivation world that Tianchong Buddha cultivated to the ultimate tribulation period, and he was more than five thousand years old when he passed away, wasn't he affected by this flesh?"

Lin asked softly.

"Of course it was affected."

Lu Xuandao:

"After Tianchong Buddha attained enlightenment, he often said that he had taken the wrong path and could not see the true Buddha, and in his later years, he often fell into a state of insanity, often mentioning the name [Tai Sui Xingjun]."

"Tai Sui God...... Isn't it from the Daomen? ”

Chu Qian was puzzled.

"Kong Wen mentioned in the codex that the 'spirit beast meat' that his master ate was the corpse of that Tai Sui Xingjun."

Lu Xuan picked up the teacup and took a sip:

"Tai Sui Xingjun fell for some reason, and a corpse containing his spirituality fell to the Cangyuan Realm, where he was eaten by the Heavenly Buddha who was still a mortal at the time, and continued to grow with the improvement of his cultivation......

This was supposed to be some kind of means of resurrection, and Tai Sui Xingjun tried to return in this way and resurrect in the body of the Heavenly Buddha.

It's a pity that he underestimated the wisdom of 'mortals', and the Heavenly Buddha rose to the end of the world, and he has cultivated Buddha for many years, how can he not see His means?

After perceiving that the existence of Tai Sui Xingjun became clearer and clearer, and tried to occupy his body, the Heavenly Buddha chose to kill himself and die with him. ”

When Chu Qian and Lin whispered, their hearts were shocked, this Buddha master of Tianchong Temple was really decisive and decisive.

Lu Xuan nodded:

"Tianchong Buddha has been planning for many years for this matter, and he told everything about himself and Tai Sui Xingjun to his disciple Kongwen.

In the struggle with Tai Sui Xingjun for so many years, Tianchong Buddha has also found a true [path to Buddhahood].

He used his body to cultivate a new 'Tai Sui', which is what you see, the black and slimy gelatinous substance.

In his codex, he called the one with a strange fragrance like clotted fat [Meat Tai Sui], and the newly born black substance was called [Hei Tai Sui].

Unlike Rou Tai Sui, Hei Tai Sui has a stronger assimilation ability and grows faster.

Under this premise, the design of the Heavenly Buddha lured the bewitching elders of the Spirit Sect to the temple.

The reason for choosing her as the target was that the [Xuanqi Pregnancy Spirit Chapter] practiced by the Deltergent Elder had already achieved a small success, and her physique was very suitable as a hotbed for cultivating the True Buddha.

After the Deluded Heart Elder was cultivated and became the [Tai Sui Bodhisattva], the Heavenly Buddha killed himself, turned himself into the body of the meat Tai Sui, and fed it to the demon like the mountain of meat.

The meat Tai Sui contains spirituality, which can erode the flesh and blood of living beings, but there is nothing to do about the black Tai Sui who comes from the same source.

He asked his disciples to become [Reincarnated True Buddhas] with the help of Tai Sui Bodhisattva, and show him the scenery of that realm. ”

Lu Xuan finished telling the story of the Heavenly Buddha, Chu Qian and Lin Qingyu were still immersed in it, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

"Tianchong Buddha is also a genius, but unfortunately he took the wrong path."

Cheng Lingzhu sighed.

This is the story of a man's struggle with God.

If Lu Xuan was not present today, Cheng Lingzhu would not doubt that Kongwen would really become the "reincarnated true Buddha" envisioned by Tianchong Buddha.

But if you want to truly become a Buddha with immeasurable power, it is far from enough to rely on the offerings of Tai Sui Bodhisattva.

In the calculation of the Tianchong Buddha, in order to achieve a perfect level, it is necessary to refine all the people and monks in the territory of the Tianchong Temple, so that their bodies can be integrated into the body of the Tai Sui Bodhisattva, so as to provide sufficient nourishment for the true Buddha.

………………

"Knock, knock, knock......"

There was a knock at the door, and the woman in coarse cloth put down her needlework, picked up the oil lamp from the table, and walked out of the room.

It is a farmhouse compound.

The yard was not large, but it was well organized, with piles of firewood, ears of wheat to dry, and a well a foot above the ground......

At first glance, it is no different from the residence of an ordinary farmer.

However, if you look closely, you can find that the walls of this small courtyard are carved with strange patterns, forming a kind of formation.

The ears of wheat were not golden, but black, and even the wells and buckets for drawing water were engraved with formations.

It seems to be on guard against something.

The woman came to the gate of the courtyard with an oil lamp, but did not open it immediately.

"It's me, sister-in-law."

There was a sound outside the courtyard gate, and near the crack in the door, a light shone in and shook three times.

Seeing the light, the woman was relieved and opened the door.

A middle-aged man, also carrying an oil lamp, stood outside the door.

“…… Hong Zhen, why are you here? ”

Looking at the man, the woman's eyes were a little wary.

She stood in the doorway, not letting the other person in.

"Tomorrow is the day to go out of the city to hunt."

The middle-aged man named Hong Zhen spoke, he glanced at the rye drying in the courtyard, and raised his chin:

"This year's harvest is not good, the city lord said that the frequency of going out of the city should be increased, and if you don't collect more food, I'm afraid this winter will be difficult."

When the woman heard this, her face changed slightly.

She looked at the upper room of her eyes, and her lips moved:

"That'...... Our family is ...... according to him"

Hong Zhen smiled:

"I'm here to inform you, Xiaozhao's age is enough, and he will participate in the hunt the day after tomorrow."

Even though she had been prepared in her heart, after hearing this, the woman still covered her mouth and trembled slightly.

"Everyone has to go out of the city to find food, and your family is naturally nothing special."

Hong Zhen showed a little impatience on his face, and handed over the things in his hand, but it was a blackened dried meat:

"No, this is for your family."

The woman looked at the thin, black dried meat in his hand, and did not take it at once, but frowned:

"I saw Xiao Fan's dried meat a few days ago, it is much bigger than this one, how did you get to our house, there is only such a small one?"

"The big ones are all gone."

Hong Zhen spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and said with a smile:

"I'm so sorry, sister-in-law."

But the expression on his face was as if he was saying that he did it on purpose.

The woman lowered her head and took a deep breath, of course she knew that it was the other man's doing.

Every family who went out of the city for the first time to hunt was given a piece of jerky, a rule that had been handed down a long time ago.

In Dream Ruins City, it is extremely dangerous to leave the city and go outside to hunt.

There is no danger in the city during the day, and at night it is possible to light up the lights to dispel the evil spirits called "Nightmare".

But once out of the gates, the inhabitants of Dream Ruins are greeted by never-ending darkness and the monsters that lurk in the darkness.

In a sense, this jerky is equivalent to the "life money" of those who participate in the hunt. ”

The woman's husband died in the hunt out of the city.

Hong Zhen's uncle is the lizheng of this place, in charge of the distribution of jerky.

Giving such a small piece of jerky to the woman was obviously in collusion with Hong Zhen.

The woman knew in her heart that since her husband died, Hong Zhen had been fighting her own ideas.

But the woman was not interested in him, and even she suspected that her husband's death was related to Hong Zhen.

Her husband's strength is much stronger than Hong Zhen, but the two of them are on the same team on a hunting mission, and it is Hong Zhen who comes back alive.

He told the woman that her husband had died in the mouth of the demon.

But the woman remembered that before leaving home, her husband had said that the place they were going to explore was safe and had been cleared out long ago, and that there would be no nightmares.

Hong Zhen couldn't pursue it, so he began to embarrass the other party everywhere, although he didn't dare to force the woman because of the city rules, there were many small methods used on weekdays.

"Sister-in-law, why are you doing this?"

Hong Zhen leaned against the door frame:

"How dangerous it is outside the city, you don't know it, my brother will also participate in the hunt the day after tomorrow, and his strength is very strong.

If you follow me, wait until the day after tomorrow, how can you have someone to take care of your family? Otherwise, when you get outside the city, if something happens...... Tsk tsk. ”

Hong Zhen smiled, but there was coldness in his eyes.

Transitional chapters, today there are four thousand, and tomorrow there are ten thousand
