However, at that time, this kind of place was not uncommon on the Shenzhou Continent, and the forces of the countries that had just experienced the War of the Gods were strong enough, even ordinary mortals had no fear of this kind of thing, and they would fight to the death if they encountered it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 If no one controls something like info, it's slow and stupid to deal with by instinct alone. So no one took it seriously at that time, and the dead were able to move again? Then fight until it can't move, just after the Great War, the mortals who are bent on rebuilding their homes are so fierce!
Not to mention the Immortal Cultivation Sect, even the officials of the mortal world didn't take this place to heart. Anyway, the war had just ended, and there were a lot of deaths, and the territory was vacant even more.
Later, although the war subsided, the area was once again used as a mass grave. For hundreds of years, all the dead in the nearby states and counties who had been plagued by plague or other disasters and could not be buried properly, as well as the nameless dead bodies or executed prisoners, were thrown here. Over time, it is equivalent to artificially creating a place to raise corpses, so the corresponding result is that this place is becoming more and more evil, the day is gloomy, and the ghost fire is phosphorescent at night, not to mention, the pedestrians who pass by here encounter such as "ghosts hitting the wall and ghosts on the body", and occasionally breaking into the "ghost market" and other visions, which are also becoming more and more frequent.
If the situation continues like this, a real Netherworld will probably form here. However, immortal cultivators will definitely not sit idly by and watch this. About 160 or 70 years ago, there was a high monk who came here and was the wise master. When he saw that the terrain was vicious and the people were in distress, he vowed to relieve the trouble. It is said that he worked hard to get a book of the original scriptures when the Buddhism was transmitted to the east in the past, and spent a whole ten years sitting in meditation and reciting, which exceeded the tens of millions of souls here, and the local people felt his favor and kept him to build a Golden Pavilion Buddhist temple in the local area, so as to forever suppress the demonic atmosphere.
As a result, the place was peaceful, and the nearby counties such as Guobei and Huangyang gradually prospered, and even after a few decades, the Zhiguang master passed away and the Kinkakuji Temple fell for more than 100 years, and the local area has basically never been haunted again, except for the occasional rumors of disappearance.
Based on the information he inquired about, and corroborated with what he had seen in person, Huang Chang could basically deduce that the underworld here had not been completely eliminated, but had been transformed into a rather hidden mirror space, that is, the Moon Shadow Realm.
"However, according to my speculation, when the wise master calmed down the ghosts in this place, I am afraid it was not as easy as the legend suggests. And to settle down a place that has been vicious for hundreds of years and is almost about to take shape, the price to pay is definitely not just ten years of chanting. ”
Huang Chang dared to speculate like this, of course, it was not for nothing that when he used a thunder rocket to hit the body of the tree demon hard, he saw that the tree demon actually relied on the remains of an old monk and a treasure of Buddhism to resist the power of thunder and fire, and he was very puzzled. Later, when he was collecting relevant legends, when he saw the content of the Zhiguang master asking for the scriptures and chanting the scriptures to surpass the soul, he suddenly realized that this corresponded: the remains of the old monk are nine times out of ten the Zhiguang master himself.
In the end, he couldn't even save his own bones, but was used by the tree demon, which shows that the wise master really tried his best, but after all, he couldn't catch it.
In addition, Huang Chang had another piece of evidence, and he took out a small branch and put it on the table for everyone to see:
"This is a branch cut from the Dryad's grandmother, can you tell the type of Dryad based on that?"
Several Xi Kunlun disciples had seen it before, but those mortals had seen the legendary dryad body for the first time, and they were all curious to approach it at this moment, but they quickly avoided it nervously and this branch had been cut down for a while, but it was still active at the moment. Once it senses that someone is approaching, it immediately writhes like an earthworm wildly, trying to wrap around the human body, and at the same time sticks out many barbs like sharp teeth on the side of the branch.
Such a strange branch obviously can't be an ordinary tree species, everyone looked at it for a long time and didn't have a clue, seeing that everyone was staring at each other, Huang Chang didn't sell it anymore, and directly said the answer:
"Although it has undergone a lot of mutations, I feel that it was supposed to be a linden tree. ”
"Bodhi Tree, this is not a ...... of Buddhism."
"That's right, this is the guardian tree of Buddhism, so I think it's very likely that this tree demon was not born locally, but was specially transplanted by that Zhiguang Master, and his original goal of transplanting it here is probably to suppress or control the Moon Shadow Realm so that it can't harm the outside. ”
Huang Chang boldly expounded his judgment that the status of the Bodhi tree in Zen Buddhism is extremely special. Legend has it that the first Buddha sat cross-legged under the Bodhi tree and meditated for a long time, and finally attained enlightenment and became a Buddha. Therefore, all Zen temples must be planted with Bodhi trees, and monks usually like to meditate under the trees, because according to the theory of Zen Buddhism: there is a space under the Bodhi tree, and it is easier to realize the so-called "Buddha nature" here.
And Huang Chang is precisely concerned about the saying "self-contained space", although he is not familiar with Zen Buddhism theory, and he doesn't know if he asks Wu Daniu. But this area has changed from the original evil Netherworld to the Moon Shadow Realm, which has been silent for more than a hundred years, and it must have a great relationship with that Bodhi tree, which Huang Chang can still determine. It's just that although it has been harmless to the outside world for so many years, inside the Moon Shadow Realm, I'm afraid that many things have happened that are not good.
"It should be said that so far, the practice of the Zhiguang Master has been quite successful, and the Moon Shadow Realm has maintained a considerable secrecy, even if there is a densely populated county town dozens of miles away, no one has been aware of the anomaly here. But whether this secrecy is still in line with the master's original intention is difficult to say, that Bodhi Spirit Tree has obviously turned into a demon spirit, and there is no taboo about killing. Generally speaking, it is unlikely that a demon spirit that has tasted the taste of human blood and food like this can control the desire to kill, but it has been able to keep a low profile for more than a hundred years, either because the arrangement of the master of wisdom back then can still play a little restraining role, and we are still enjoying its legacy; or, it is that the realm of the dryad itself is still insufficient, and it is not yet able to break through the mirror space, threatening beyond the Moon Shadow Realm, but this restraint may not last long, and when the strength of the dryad grows enough to break through the spatial barrier, there will be a great disaster here. ”——
