"At the beginning, humans and demons fought each other, and it ended in the final victory of the human race. Some of the ancestors of the Terran race absorbed the spiritual power of heaven and earth and became the ancestors of the Dao, while some of the ancestors of the Terran imitated the true demon clan, swallowed the demonic energy of heaven and earth, and turned into demonic giants. At the end of the flood and famine, the human race was separated, and the battle between the righteous and the demon broke out, and the demon path was defeated, leaving behind all kinds of cultivation of magical powers, and gradually dissipated between heaven and earth.

As time passed, the internal contradictions of the righteous path human race gradually intensified, and the Buddha and the Tao gradually separated and went against the grain. In the ancient barbaric period, Buddhism and Taoism competed, Buddhism was invincible, and Taoism was dominant.

In today's Shenzhou Continent, humans and demons coexist. ”

On the surface of the blue sea, Kong Laosan, Fan Miao'er, the great elder of the Bengnu clan, Zhu Shao, Wen Huang and his party of five people were entrenched on a piece of multicolored scallops of ten zhang size, the scallops floated on the sea, galloping in a certain direction at a speed of floating light, at a glance, like a colorful silk thread stretching on the sea, the speed was incredible.

As soon as Kong Laosan's words fell, the great elder on the side nodded, and looked at the Taoist with a hint of praise in his eyes, "Yes, it's not easy to understand this." The period of the ancient wilderness is only an approximate inference, and no one knows how many billions of years it will be. At that time, the yin and yang of Qiankun were undecided, and the strength realm of living beings was not oppressed by this heaven and earth, and the strength of living beings was much stronger than now. At the beginning, the yin and yang of this world were initially determined, and the five elements flowed. However, it is rumored that the incarnation of the Buddha of Elysium has descended to this realm, passed down the Dharma of the Ten Directions, and gathered a large number of believers.

Later, the incarnation of the Buddha relied on the power of the believers, in the center of this realm, in the center of the rumored endless annihilation ocean, wrapped in a huge wheel-shaped Iron God Mountain, relying on the natural power of the heavens and earth currents, condensed a 168,000-mile Mount Meru, half of which was submerged under the surface of the sea, and half of which was inserted into the void. According to the current statement, one is about 3,360 zhang. It is conceivable how magnificent Mount Meru is, which has been built. If it still exists, it can be said to be the number one sacred mountain in this realm!"

The Great Elder said, as if he was there, and there was a hint of yearning in his eyes.

"Oh, what's so strange about this Mount Meru? Why did it disappear again? What does the Great Elder have to do with our trip to the pagoda?"

Kong Laosan thought about it and simply said directly.

"Huh...... Legend has it that Mount Meru has eight mountains and eight seas around it, and is made up of four treasures, gold in the north, silver in the east, glass in the south, and pears in the west. And the color of the void in the four directions of Mount Meru is also reflected by these treasures. The perfume sea between the square gold mountain and the Sumeru mountain is full of eight merit water, and the gold mountain is separated by the oblivion ocean.

Its mountain goes straight up, there are no twists and turns, the fragrant wood in the mountain is luxuriant, the mountain is prominent on all sides, there is the palace of the four heavenly kings, and the mountain base has pure golden sand. This mountain has upper, middle and lower three levels of "Seven Treasure Steps", and there are seven treasure walls, seven columns, seven nets and seven layers on both sides of the road

The trees, the doors, walls, windows, railings, trees, etc., are all made of gold, silver, crystal, glass, etc. Flowers and fruits are flourishing, fragrant winds are everywhere, countless strange birds, singing in harmony, and ghosts and gods live in it.

The above nine mountains, eight seas and the three wheels of wind, water and gold are supported.

Above the twenty-eight heavens, the summit of Mount Meru, there are thirty-three days of reli, and there are countless palaces in it, which are the residence of the gods of the Twenty Heavenly Protectors. The pagoda we are visiting is said to have been formed after the precipitation of a floating pagoda of wisdom that collapsed on the top of Mount Meru after the fall of the Buddha Heaven, and it is said that it contains countless dangers, chances, and wisdom. I can't understand the specific old body, but I'll know when you go. ”

Ignoring Kong Laosan's urging, the Great Elder said unhurriedly, glanced at the Taoist in thought, and continued to speak, "At the beginning, Mount Meru was not so big, but this sacred mountain is like a sentient being, which can devour and grow by itself, but in the past million years, it has grown to an incredible extent. It also has the trend of annexing the four parts of Shenzhou and refining the first realm.

In addition, the incarnation of the Buddha imitates the reincarnation of heaven and earth, creating the six realms of reincarnation, and once it is completed, this realm will be incorporated into a part of the world of the Buddha, and all sentient beings will enter the Buddha door from then on, cultivate the Buddha's teachings, and no longer have other thoughts. As a result, it was met with frantic opposition from Taoist cultivators. ”

Hearing this, Kong Laosan nodded, "This is the root of the conflict between Buddhism and Taoism in the ancient barbarian period?"

"That's right, it's enough for you to understand this, this is also some of the secrets that have been handed down since ancient times, the ancestor of our mussel girl clan, the five-colored bird that was born into the Buddha, was taken out of this world by the incarnation of the Buddha, if it weren't for the fact that there is still a trace of bird inheritance in our body, I'm afraid we wouldn't know so much at all. ”

"Kong still has a question, according to what the Great Elder said, the incarnation of the Buddha should be immeasurable, how can Taoist cultivators compete with it?"

"Hehe, of course, the struggle between Buddhism and Taoism is not only in this realm, even in the upper realm, there is a Buddha incarnation into the world, and the Taoist human race naturally has other great powers to help each other across borders. The two religions fought each other, stretching for hundreds of thousands of years, and finally Mount Meru was destroyed, the Buddha incarnated and left, Buddhism completely lost its position, and then thousands of years, the Buddhist believers in the entire land of Shenzhou were slaughtered, except for the occasional monuments, there is no remnant. ”

"I see, can the Great Elder know what kind of existence is the Elysian World where the Buddha came?"

Kong Laosan showed a clear look on his face, thought about it, and finally asked a question.

"Elysium...... According to Buddhism, Elysium should be the other side of the sea of suffering, but what kind of existence it is, the old body does not know. ”

After the Great Elder finished speaking, he glanced at Kong Laosan, his brows furrowed slightly, "This time we will go to the Illusion Realm, which is under the jurisdiction of the Jiaolong Clan, you had better change your appearance, otherwise, if anything happens, the old body will not be able to protect you." By the way, it is rumored that you killed the third prince of the Jiaolong clan,

If you have the essence and blood of the dragon clan on your body, you might as well give some to the old body. ”

"Oh, where did the Great Elder hear about this?"

Hearing this, Kong Laosan shook his head helplessly, and did not deny it, and with a flip of his palm, an ink-colored porcelain bottle with cold air flew in the direction of the Great Elder.

"Is that enough?"

Seeing this, the Great Elder smiled and nodded, "Although our Bengnu clan has always been entrenched near the Flowing Pulp Trench, we have heard of the battle on Liuying Island. Compared with the demon race, although your human race is weak, it seems to have the favor of the Heavenly Dao, which is really enviable. ”

"Heavenly Dao favors, hehe, if this is the case, I am afraid that the Xiling Demon Continent would have been changed to the Xiling Human Continent long ago!"

Kong Laosan shook his head, with a disapproving look on his face, obviously extremely disapproving of the Great Elder's words.

"Heaven is dark, who knows what the fate of the future will be? 30,000 years ago, the demon race was very powerful, and just when your human race was wiped out, it happened that the sky descended on the demon calamity. In that catastrophe, although your human race suffered heavy casualties, the demon clan was even more injured. In this way, your human race has continued to pass on for 30,000 years. It's the same in this battle of Liuying Island, that evil sword will not be born sooner or later, but you Beihai Terrans will come out of nowhere when they are cornered. If it weren't for God's favor, how could there be such a coincidence!"

The Great Elder shook his head, as if he was lamenting the impermanence of fate.

"Hehe, these are just coincidences in my opinion, instead of feeling these, let's talk about the rules of the stupa line, right? If you want to enter the stupa, what conditions do you need? Also, what should you pay attention to after entering?"

Kong Laosan shook his head indifferently, not caring at all about the Heavenly Dao's favor.

"The stupa is opened every thousand years. If you want to talk about the rules, there is only one rule: life and death conceit. In addition, if you want to open the pagoda, you need the bloodline of the eight clans, and the dragon essence blood is one of them. As long as they are descendants of the eight tribes, they can be directly teleported in, of course, other sea tribes can also enter, but they need to avoid those ubiquitous black holes under the sea, which is extremely dangerous. On this trip, the old body still has important matters, so I can't go with you. You represent our Beng Nu clan, although there are countless dangers in it, but as long as you don't enter the last three layers, everything will be fine, no matter what you gain in it, the old body can be the master and share half of you.

Alas, if it weren't for the rules set by the ancestors, my mussel girl clan would not be too lazy to participate in any pagoda event. The old body doesn't want these children to put themselves in danger for something outside the body. ”

The Great Elder said, stroked the long hair of the two mussel girls on his side, Zhu Shao and Wen Huang, and shook his head with some pity.

At this moment, Kong Laosan frowned slightly, looked at the surrounding sea, and said with some doubts, "This trip is not the direction of going to the Illusion Realm, is the Great Elder going wrong?"

"Hehe, don't worry, let's go and join the Thunder Eel clan first, and then go to ...... together"
