Chapter 48: The Pure Land of Bliss

The longest river of 60,000 miles meanders into the sea, with more than 70,000 long and short tributaries, and the abundant rain of thousands of years makes a green world grow along both sides of the river.

Viewed from above, it is an endless green expanse divided into pieces by a wide stretch of river.

?? In the legend of Zhongzhou, this verdant world is rich in products, and people do not need to cultivate livestock at all.

Only in the three seasons of cool, summer and rain, new natural species grow every two months, and those inexhaustible melons and fruits can only fall to the ground and turn into dirt.

Those rare beasts that run on the plains and jump in the forest are too many to count.

This is the place of Nishiga Heaven, the paradise on earth, the perfect Buddha kingdom.

"I'm afraid that only such a rich place is suitable for missionary preaching in the Buddhist country. ”

Looking at the rich rainforest recorded in the genus in front of him, Tang Luo couldn't help but sigh to the people around him: "Change to another place, don't produce Buddhist disciples who only care about cultivation every day, it's no wonder if you don't starve to death!"

"It's such a magical place. ”

Yun Xiu, who hooked Tang Luo's arm with one hand and covered his eye socket with the other hand to block the scorching sun, raised his head and sighed: "The fruits of these trees alone are enough for the people of a city to eat!"

Looking up, each giant tree more than ten feet high bears a large and plump red fruit, and just looking at it from a distance makes people want to take a big bite.

Tang Luo, who could see the movement of his index finger, stretched out his right arm, and the phantom of the mighty Heavenly Dragon slapped the trunk of the tree, and the red fruit fell in a flutter.

The tree fruit the size of a human head fell from a height of more than ten zhang, and he was afraid that it would rot if he hit the ground, so Yun Xiu hurriedly reached out more than a dozen cloud hands, and gently used the tree fruit to meet it down.

Breaking open the tree fruit, there is a pure white fruit pulp inside, the taste is delicate and sweet, and ordinary people can be full after eating half of it.

And Tang Luo ate more than a dozen in one go.

"I've picked it all, don't waste it. ”

In Yun Xiu's slightly widened beautiful eyes, after Tang Luo took the last red fruit, he made up for himself in this way.

Just looking at Mrs. Wang's eyes, he didn't seem to believe his words, and in order to prove that he was indeed not greedy for appetite, Tang Luo raised the melon and flattered: "Or, give it to you?"

The woman smiled like a flower and pushed back the red fruit handed to the man.

In the end, this red melon was still swallowed by Tang Luo, and the Void Grandmaster, who had wiped his mouth, waved his hand and said, "Madame, let's go, look at the great rivers and mountains in Zhongzhou!"

Open the road in the mountains, build bridges in the water, and the dense forest mountain roads that are difficult for others to walk on are like walking on the ground for Tang Luo at this time.

For the two born in Longzhou, everything they saw in this rainforest was so fresh, whether it was trees, melons, fruits, birds and animals, they were all very different from Longzhou.

The two of them were like teenagers and girls, and they were amazed when they saw a novelty, and they stopped and stopped along the way, and Yunxiu, who was familiar with pharmacology, found a lot of rare medicinal materials.

For those who can be recognized, they are naturally taken and stored in Tang Luo's void stomach, but there are still many plants and trees that are unrecognizable and look like medicinal herbs, this needs to be studied and judged.

And the doctor's way of studying and judging is also extraordinarily crude, that is, tasting.

This is really something to put in your mouth!

When he saw that Yun Xiu picked a very bright mushroom and was about to send it to his mouth, Tang Luo stepped forward and snatched it down: "This thing is highly poisonous at first glance, you put it in your mouth..."

"You still know medical science?"

Yun Xiuliu raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile.

"Of course I don't understand, but it's common sense that brightly colored mushrooms are highly poisonous. ”

Tang Luo raised the particularly brightly colored mushroom in his hand, and said confidently: "Just like this, it must be poisonous!"

"It's true that most colorful mushrooms are poisonous, but there are exceptions to everything, some mushrooms are bright in color, but they are not highly poisonous, but they are delicious. ”

Yun Xiu explained to Tang Luo with a smile.

"Well..."

In the end, there is a specialization in the art industry, and Tang Luo, who provoked the professional with common sense, was defeated, scratched his head embarrassedly, and handed the mushroom back to Yunxiu in his hand, while making up for it: "Then this kind of is delicious, and I will return it to you." ”

Yun Xiu, who took the mushroom, sneered, then put the mushroom in his mouth and said vaguely: "This one is poisonous!"

"Yikes!"

Tang Luo exclaimed, and hurriedly stepped forward to smash Yunxiu's face: "Spit it out, spit it out!"

"It's gone~"

Yun Xiu, who was beaten by the man, grinned and said, "Swallow it!"

“......”

Looking at the empty mouthful, Tang Luo said with annoyance: "I won't rob you of food in the future, don't eat poisonous mushrooms!"

"Hahaha. ”

Yunxiu was amused and couldn't straighten up with a smile: "Does the husband think that the concubine is angry to eat mushrooms?" ”

"Not so. ”

Tang Luo sighed, and was about to reach out to Yunxiu's lower abdomen: "Come, let the husband cross the two innate true qi, and keep any poison for you!"

"No need!"

Yun Xiujiao jumped away in disgust: "The concubine body is not so expensive, let alone how to test the medicine if you don't take poison." ”

"The road is so wild?"

Tang Luo was taken aback: "All doctors use this method to test medicines?"

"Not really. ”

Yun Xiu smiled again, and then took the initiative to step forward and hugged Tang Luo's somewhat stiff arm and said: "Don't worry, even if it is poisonous, it depends on the dosage, like this kind of poisonous mushroom, the toxicity symptoms are different, hallucination, coagulation, itching, death, blindness, diarrhea, mania and dozens of others, if you haven't tried it yourself, how to understand the toxicity and prescribe the right medicine." ”

"That's not going to work. ”

Even if Yun Xiu explained clearly, Tang Luo was still a little awkward: "What if the toxicity is particularly heavy?"

"Isn't there still a husband-sama? ”

Yun Xiu shook Tang Luo's arm and said coquettishly: "If the concubine is poisoned, the husband must have a way, right." ”

“...... Hugh is going to say these nice things to deceive!"

Although his heart was shaken by Yunxiu, Tang Luo still said stiffly: "I won't be fooled for my husband, this way of testing medicine is too rough, there is no other way?"

"The pharmacist who taught the concubine body medicine said that drugs and poisons can only be urgent if they have experienced them personally. ”

Yun Xiu flattered: "Besides, the concubine body is now in this realm, and ordinary poisons can't hurt it, please rest assured." “

"No, I'm not reassured. ”

Tang Luo waved his hand and said: "Otherwise, what poison do you want to try in the future, give me a taste first, I want to think that there is no problem, you can eat it again!"

"Husband-sama..."

The woman looked at the man in amazement, her eyes surging with a complex mixture of admiration, love, and emotion.

Such a gaze made the man can't help but feel hot, please cough and say, "Cough, then it's settled!"

......

Since that day, in addition to her husband's duties, Tang Luo has also had more work as a drug tester.

It's a simple job, just take the colorful plants that you can see and chew them in your mouth in turn.

For Tang Luo, who has a large stomach of the void, the most poisonous plant also makes his mouth and tongue paralyzed, under this condition, Tang Luo actually has no way to experiment with medicinal properties, but it is still possible to distinguish the fierce toxicity.

As Yunxiu said, although there are hundreds of millions of species in this Buddhist rainforest, there are still very few fierce poisons that can directly hurt the fierce realm.

Eating it all the way, even the most powerful poisonous weeds are just killing the mortal realm.

This made Tang Luo sigh once again at the strength of the cultivators, and it was no wonder that the martial arts had been prosperous for a thousand years, and the human race had not come up with any excellent tools to pretend to be external forces.

After all, if you are a god yourself, how can you have the truth of wasting time in external objects, even if it is a place like Xuanji Sect and Ou Clan, which loves alchemy casting, it is also a path where cultivation is the mainstay and refining is supplemented.

"Husband, it's time to take medicine~"

In a daze, Yun Xiu held up another poisonous weed that he had never seen before and handed it to Tang Luo.

After taking the poisonous weeds and sending them numbly to his mouth, Tang Luo said wistfully: "This forest is poisonous, why are there so many poisonous weeds, and you can eat enough just by eating poison every day!"

"On the side of poison, there must be an antidote!"

Yun Xiu smiled and said: "Where these poisonous insects and poisonous weeds grow, there must be plants around that can resist these poisons, which is an endless amount of heaven-given pharmacology for the healer. ”

Chewing the poisonous herbs carefully, Tang Luo said vaguely: "No wonder the Buddha medicine is so exquisite, eh, don't say it, this poisonous herb tastes okay, spicy, you can taste it." ”

"Thank you, Lord Fujun, for testing the medicine. ”

Yun Xiu smiled, took out another poisonous weed, cut off the leaf and put it into her mouth.

said that it was a honeymoon, but all the way along the way, I accompanied Yunxiu to test the medicine, but it was comforting for a loving partner to see each other.

Every day is accompanied by greenery, making fun of each other, and the days are not boring.

The two of them went down the river, and after a few days, they saw a city in the distance.

"Hey, I thought the cities of Buddhism were all primitive wooden houses, and under the gorgeous temples with carved beams and paintings, gold lacquer and woodcarving, I don't know how many tired bones are buried. ”

Standing on the tree and looking at the city in the distance, Tang Luo clasped his hands on his chest and sneered slightly.

"Husband-sama doesn't seem to like this luxury?"

Yun Xiu asked softly.

"Ah, I've seen a Zen protector of the Divine Kingdom, and what I saw in it is disgusting. ”

Tang Luo replied.

"If the husband doesn't like it, then let's cross the "Hani wood" in the forest. ”

Yun Xiu's smile was like a flower, and she didn't know where to conjure up a sweet round fruit, and handed it to Tang Luo flatteringly: "This is a tree fruit found by the concubine body when she picked medicine today, it is fragrant and compelling, please change the taste of the husband." ”

"I've come here, I don't see the Zhongzhou Wonderland, how to do the Pure Land on Earth. ”

Tang Luo took the tree fruit and broke it in half, the amazing fruity aroma overflowed, which made people feel appetizing, and gave half of it to Yunxiu, and then swallowed the melon with a belt.

Maybe it's because I've eaten too many poisonous weeds these days, but this melon is exceptionally sweet.

......

Unlike Longzhou, where most houses are made of stone walls and mud tiles, most of the houses in Pure Land City are wooden structures.

Along the way, the people, men and women, will pinch the Dharma seal in their hands, and their mouths will be vibrating, and their faces will be peaceful and calm.

For the two unfamiliar faces of Tang Luo and Yunxiu, these people of the Buddha country were not very afraid, and after looking at them, they mostly smiled and nodded, and then staggered past, making people feel comfortable.

Walking on the streets of Pure Land City, he only felt a peace from the heart, but Tang Luo, who was particularly sensitive to spiritual power, knew that this kind of peace was not natural.

On the left and right of the road, in the trees or in the gates of the buildings built on huge logs, there must be an idol of the god of bronze or iron, which is polished to the ground very brightly.

Every few miles, there will be an offering altar, the great monk leads the people to worship sincerely, and the incense is surrounded by incense to make this country like a fairyland, anyone who sees it, will feel that this is an infinite peace and tranquility.

But Yunxiu felt uncomfortable all over his body, and after passing through a giant wooden altar, he saw that there was no one on the left and right, so he carefully transmitted the voice: "Have you noticed that the people who sacrificed just now seem to have been affected by some kind of illusion." ”

"See. ”

Tang Luo said lightly: "After all, the Buddha country, you always have to let the foolish people see a little blissful beauty, but how poor the language is, it's normal to use a little illusion!"

"How so. ”

Yun Xiu said angrily: "That is, the right way, why do you use such ambiguous means?"

"This is a matter of meditation and soul casting!"

Tang Luo shrugged and explained, "The Buddha Kingdom claims to have 84,000 Dharma rectifications, but at the top there are only eight paths of cultivation, namely sexuality, appearance, Taiwan, manifestation, Zen, purity, Vinaya, and tantra. Although everyone in these eight sects thinks that they are the most intelligent, in my opinion, these are all doors that forge souls with contemplation, and they are actually just one way. ”

"Then the question is, since you want to attain enlightenment, you have to at least believe in what you have attained. If it's something you can see today, it's easy to do, but what if it's something that doesn't exist. ”

"No... Something that doesn't exist?"

Yun Xiu was shocked, his hands unconsciously grabbed Tang Luo's arms, and asked softly, "What does this mean?"

It means that three people become tigers, as long as they can make people believe, any means are good means. ”

Tang Luo smiled, "Do you feel the atmosphere in Pure Land City?" ”

"Hmm..."

When I first arrived, I thought that these people had peaceful and calm smiles on their faces, but if you look closely, the smiles on everyone's faces seem to be carved out of an embryo.

And the numbness in his eyes made these smiling townspeople extremely strange, as if what they saw in front of them was not a real face, but a mask that could only smile peacefully.

This inexplicable feeling made Yun Xiu shudder, and he subconsciously grabbed Tang Luo's arms.

"Don't be afraid, I'm right there for you. ”

Tang Luo patted the back of Yunxiu's hand and explained softly: "The faint Sanskrit sound in this city should be intended to eliminate the five poisons, namely greed, hatred, infatuation, love, and evil. ”

It's just that the local Zen masters don't seem to realize that although these five violent emotions are obstacles to breaking through the Dharma, they are the foundation of being a human being. ”

"Singing in Sanskrit to peel off the five poisons, the result is that people lose their desires, like the walking dead, and just want to pray for future lives through the Dharma!"

"Madame, look..."

Tang Luo pointed to the scattered pedestrians on the street, as well as the altars where the incense was flourishing, and said: "They don't want to live anymore, their minds are full of thoughts about how to look forward to the perfect afterlife, do you believe that if the local Zen master says that he can die by committing suicide, the people in the city will die in one night?"

After saying this, Yun Xiu's little face turned white as falling into an ice cave, and she looked left and right, unable to look directly at those smiling passers-by.
