Chapter 54: Ancient Secrets

Feng Changgeng was sent out of the Taiwei Hall by Xu Zhen early, and when he left, he was full of smiles, and said that he congratulated the Taiwei Palace, and congratulated the Taiwei Hall on getting another fierce general, and the strength of the Taiyi Gate was even better. Xu Zhen quietly instructed the master of Fengdian not to spread this matter more, Feng Changgeng sent Xu Zhen a look I understand, the truth of strange goods, Feng Fox still knows, Taiwei Hall does not want to spread the word, it seems that he wants to use Lu Xihua as a shadow.

Xu Zhen shook his head, how could this news be reasonably revealed to the fellow disciples inside and outside the hall Knowing that it was still necessary to discuss it with the hall master, it was really a little troublesome, smiled bitterly, and turned back.

"Disciple Lu Xihua has seen the hall master Si Zhenren. Lu Xihua bowed to the woman and praised in his mouth.

In a quiet room, the palace woman brought Xu Zhen and Lu Xihua here, and she immediately sat on a wide stool, with fur on it, and the fragrance on the fur was all over the house, obviously a strange beast. The woman sat facing south, and a noble air came to her face, quite a bit of the taste of loneliness in the south.

Xu Zhen quietly passed the woman's identity to Lu Xihua on the road, and the others didn't dare to say much, and the intimidating power of the hall master of Taiwei Hall could be seen. Xu Zhen didn't dare to do more superfluous small movements, and the communication of this point of thought was also with the acquiescence of the woman, and after entering the room, he silently moved to the lower right stool, and sat upright, without squinting, with a taste that I just came to listen with my ears.

"This seat Si Qingping, who has been in charge of the Taiwei Hall for more than 600 years, is now asking his disciple Lu Xihua. The woman took out a jade talisman from her sleeve and threw it in the air. A soft light shot out from the jade talisman, shining on Lu Xihua's body, and a cloud of Yingxia suddenly floated behind Lu Xihua's neck, revealing two quaint characters "too little". The woman nodded, it seems that her disciple was not taken away by a foreign object or impersonated by an outsider, and he is indeed the real person.

"Where did you get this dress, it is nondescript, the front chest and back are as one, the left and right plackets are not distinguished, they don't know etiquette, they look like barbarians. What about the Taoist clothes that were given to you in the front hall before departure? Also, where did your body cultivation come from? In four months, you can go from an inner disciple who has achieved great body refining to break through all the way to the foundation building, knotting the Dan, Yuan Ying, and transforming into a god, and now you can reach the realm of refining the void. To say that there is no adventure, relying solely on comprehending the power of the stars, the real people do not believe it. Before you, three of the thirteen of you had also returned with star power, and they had only succeeded in building the foundation. You have secrets that you can not tell, but you must not lie about the key points you encounter. Si Qingping said word by word, this disciple was really unexpected in the hall, could it be the chosen one in the star field?

"It's a card of inquiry, it records the moment, and if there is a lie in what you say, it will change color. Words come out of your mouth, do not change, think twice, your affairs are very important, I want to return to the head of the sect and the elders in charge. Si Qingping pointed to the jade talisman suspended in the air.

Lu Xihua had a lot of secrets in his heart, and when he was asked by his own hall master, he was stunned for a moment.

Seeing this, Xu Zhen hurriedly spoke, "The secrets and exercises of your cultivation don't need to be explained, but you have to talk about the coming and going experience in the star chart this time." Do you know how much it cost the hall to wait for your disciple to come back? Hehe, a full 120 million Qingming Pill was thrown into the star map to ensure the operation of the star map, and the others came back in two or three days, while you stayed for four months. In the past four months, we have not dared to stop the operation of the star map at all, for fear that you will be lost in the starry sky and unable to return to the Daomen. ”

"One pill of the Green Pill can be exchanged for the thousand pills of Yellow Bud Pill that you were given when you set off. The inner disciples who have built the foundation in the door are only one hundred and fifty Huang Ya Dan per month, and the Huang Ya Dan you have consumed in the past four months and one hundred and twenty days is enough for 500,000 disciples in the door to use it for more than a hundred years. You think about it yourself, whether the Taiwei Hall is worthy of you. "This can be regarded as soft pressure, and grace and power are applied together.

"The purpose of Taiwei Hall is to work with one heart and one mind, watch and help each other, and help each other when companions are in trouble. Si Zhenren and everyone have not given up on you, if you don't come back, the hall master will have to take out his personal wealth to subsidize the star map. Xu Zhen saw that Lu Xihua was a little moved, and hurriedly struck while the iron was hot.

As soon as this disciple entered and exited in the star chart, he soared into the sky, and now his cultivation is still above himself, according to the title in the sect, he deserves a sentence of "real person", because he has already attained the Tao, and the primordial spirit has been solidified into an entity, unlike himself who is still an imaginary form. Xu Zhen's heart was still hot, and he also wanted to know what happened to Lu Xihua in the star map, why a body of cultivation would enter the realm so quickly, and it was estimated that this was also something that the high-level of Taiyimen would care about in the future.

Lu Xihua's face changed slightly, he didn't expect Taiwei Hall to treat himself so well, it was really a treatment that he didn't have in his previous life and this life. The grace of dripping water, when the spring reciprocates, if there is kindness, what is this immortal cultivator? Is it selfish? At the moment, Lu Xihua was silent for a while, and then opened his mouth to tell what happened to him in the star map.

"When the disciple entered the star map, he met a group of rakshasa demons and an asura, and the disciple was physically attained, and he was not afraid of them, so he killed them one by one......" Here Lu Xihua hid the matter of the green gong, Bodhi Zi is his biggest secret, of course, the green gong of the transformation did not say, only said that he accidentally broke through the starry sky, re-entered the remnant of the powerful mind, and entered the place of the soul trial before the entry. And unlike the trial, this time I entered with my real body.

As Lu Xihua slowly narrated, Si Qingping and Xu Zhen's eyes became brighter and brighter, they had guessed all kinds of possible adventures before, but they thought that Lu Xihua might be the reincarnation of the legendary star, so once they connected with their natal stars, their cultivation was as simple as eating and drinking. This is a fatal temptation for the Taiyi Gate who wants to seek the position of the Star Monarch of the Horned Jupiter Domain, although Lu Xihua's star power is not a wood attribute, but his experience of comprehending the power of the stars can be used for reference.

Si Qingping was summoned by the master to discuss important matters, one of which was the mysterious disappearance of the place of trial. There is news from the upper realm, the selection of divine souls has ended here, and only two star field selections have been carried out so they died, but fortunately, the horned Jupiter domain is the second batch, and a group of people who have excellent divine soul communication with the power of the stars have been selected to enter the door, as long as they wait for them to grow up, and expect them to be able to contact the world they have experienced before.

But now, the news revealed by Lu Xihua is completely different, what a strange encounter it is to sneak into the land of divine soul trials with his true body. All the major sects are waiting for this group of trial disciples to grow up, so that they can communicate with the powerful remnant space, find the world, stimulate the stars, establish connections, explore the world, seize resources, spy on the origin of the world's rules, realize the Dao, and achieve the immortal body.

This is a complete set of plans, which is exactly the reason why the various sects recruit this group of disciples, but it will take a long time to wait for this group of disciples to grow up, at least it will be the transformation period, and the time during this period will take at least one or two thousand years according to normal cultivation. However, these ancient giant sects have a long history, and they can afford to spend such time. But now, there is a disciple who has shortened this time to almost nothing, how can it not make everyone's hearts moved.

As Lu Xihua slowly narrated the world, Si Qingping's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he said, "Eight Holy Spirits Creation? Sixteen Demon Gods Quietly Invaded? Interesting, but I am only interested in those demon artifacts you said, the stones of other mountains can attack jade, and my sword path is lacking in various laws of smelting." ”

In the end, when Lu Xihua talked about the white lotus in the starry sky, Si Qingping's face turned dark at once, "You mean that the huge white lotus absorbed all those divine thought worlds?!"

"Yes! It's all turned into the brilliance on its lotus petals. Lu Xihua's words were scorching, and his face was affirmative.

"Hall Master, could this be the big event that appeared in the Land of Trials?" Xu Zhen turned his head to his real person and asked with regret on his face.

Si Zhenren had a dark face and nodded, she thought that the disappearance of the place of trials was just because of the turmoil of time and space, which caused the immortal world to be unable to locate, but the news revealed from the mouth of the disciple in front of her was that an unknown power came to collect it in the form of an incarnation. These great powers that can open up the world and re-establish the earth, fire, feng shui, are all the overlords of the fairy world, and their wishful thinking is like a mirror, and they will never be seen again.

"Are you saying that there are two great powers fighting each other in the starry sky, and there is a dialogue between them? ”

The white lotus said that he was a Buddha and an ancestor in this life, and that residual thought was left by the predecessors of the Buddha, and he came to collect it from now. Oh, by the way, the White Lotus said that he came from the center, and when he became a Buddha and became an ancestor, there should be three thousand Buddhas and one hundred thousand Bodhisattvas in front of him..."Lu Xihua carefully organized his words, avoided the unknown voice, and led the topic to the white lotus, and he also wanted to know whether the white lotus was Maitreya Bodhisattva.

"Buddhism, there was such a sect in ancient times, spanning countless star fields. It is different from our monasticism in that there are many sects in it, each with its own inclination, but it all respects the same sect leader at different times. Wait, I'll find out. Si Qingping spread her right hand, and a book shadow appeared in her hand, turning countless pages, and finally stopped. Si Qingping's eyes were fixed on it, and she whispered, "How can this be?!"

Xu Zhen hurriedly asked, "I don't know what surprised the real person?"

Si Qingping closed her eyes for a while before opening them, "If what is recorded in the book is good, then the white lotus should be a great power in ancient times, called Maitreya Buddha." He is one of the Thousand Buddhas and the Fifth Buddha. The information collected by the Taoist sect is fragmentary, and the Buddhist sect leader has updated and replaced, Maitreya Buddha is the fifth generation of ancient Buddhism, and before him was Shakyamuni Buddha, but the only thing that can be confirmed is that the white lotus that Lu Xihua met was Maitreya before he became a Buddha, and he was called Maitreya Bodhisattva at that time. ”

Lu Xihua's eyes suddenly widened when he heard this, and he looked at Si Zhenren incredulously.

Xu Zhen said slowly with some uncertainty, "What does the hall master mean is that Lu Xihua went back to the past in the star map for an unknown amount of time, and saw Maitreya Bodhisattva before becoming a Buddha?" Speaking of this, Xu Zhen's voice was a little hoarse, and it was obvious that he didn't believe what he said.

Si Qingping looked at Lu Xihua and said, "Yes, not only does the white lotus suspected of being the incarnation of Maitreya Bodhisattva exist in the past, but the inexplicable voice in the universe also exists in the past, and even the powerful remnants of the soul trial that we arranged for our disciples to go to the Divine Soul Trial only exist in the past. Lu Xihua didn't lie, so it would be able to explain why the Upper Realm sent a message, and this place of divine thought disappeared all at once, and it turned out that everything was a fragment of the past time and space. Hehe, this is wonderful~"

"How long ago was that, why have I never heard of these powerful names after practicing for thousands of years?" Xu Zhen touched his beard, his face worried. The hope of becoming an immortal who had just been aroused by Lu Xihua's adventure was taken away by the mysterious power in the blink of an eye, and the disappointment was overflowing.

According to the books collected by the Daomen, the time called the virtuous tribulation is a method of calculation for Buddhism, which is the great tribulation, the middle tribulation, and the small tribulation, and the entire virtuous tribulation is divided into a total of eighty small tribulations. They divide the reincarnation of the universe in which the Buddha Gate is located into four stages: formation, dwelling, decay, and emptiness. Each stage is a middle tribulation, and each middle tribulation is twenty minor tribulations, which together are a complete reincarnation. Si Qingping closed her eyes and recalled the contents of the book.

"Each of the minor eons lasts 16.8 million years, and the entire great eons of samsara, which we just mentioned, lasts 1,344 million years. And there are thousands of Buddhas born in the eons and perfecting the Dharma, but they will only appear in the twenty eons of living in this stage. That is to say, the birth of the thousand Buddhas of the virtuous tribulation is all concentrated in the second stage of the middle tribulation, and Maitreya Buddha is the fifth Buddha among the thousand Buddhas, before the Buddha Shakyamuni, and then the Buddha of the Master, and so on, until the last of the thousand Buddhas is born, the Dharma is complete, and this stage is not completed. In this way, Maitreya became a Buddha at least a billion years ago. I just don't know how much time it will be since now after the Xian Tribulation~" Speaking of this, Si Qingping paused for a moment and said, "That is to say, our disciple Lu Xihua of Taiyi Sect saw a past event at least a billion years ago, before Maitreya Bodhisattva preached. ”

"A billion years ago?!" Xu Zhen was immediately deflated, for the planets in the starry sky, a billion years may only be ten years, after all, many planets have existed for billions or even tens of billions of years, and countless planets are being born and destroyed every day. But a billion years ago, for Taiyimen, which is only tens of thousands of years old, it was the ancient period, the legendary era, where you can only look up.

"It's desirable, the ancient power of a billion years ago, Xu Zhen, are you a little yearning? I also saw a record in the book here, I don't know how long before the virtuous tribulation, there was a great calamity in Buddhism, called the solemn tribulation, which is also a reincarnation for more than a billion years, and there are also thousands of Buddhas born. That was the beginning of the primeval period, when the earth was full of gods and men. Si Qingping paused when he said this, "Lu Xihua, your answer, I will submit it to the head of the sect and the elders for reference and judgment." Under the card of conscience, you are not lying, and you can honestly tell such secrets, which is worthy of being a disciple of my Taiwei Palace!"

Lu Xihua was still immersed in the words revealed by his hall master before, his mind was full of Buddhist legends, and when he heard Si Qingping praise himself, he hurriedly said, "The hall master has won the award, Taiwei Hall has a lot of love for the disciple, and the disciple is too late to repay it, how can he hide such an important matter." ”

A strange smile appeared on Si Qingping's face, which made Lu Xihua's heart cold, "Since you also said that you want to repay, that's good!"

"Lu Xihua, this time, in order to welcome you back from the star map, the Taiwei Hall has consumed a total of 120 million Qingying Pills from Gongzhong's inventory. If when you come back, like other companions, it is the foundation building period, then this deficit will be recognized by our company Qingping, because you are a disciple of my Taiwei Palace, you are still young and incapable, and the debt pressure of more than 100 million can crush you. Speaking of this, the smile on Si Qingping's face was even bigger.

"However, you're not! You've advanced to refine the void, and this more than 100 million Qingying Pill is just your benefit for ten years. Your current cultivation is also worthy of being called a real person in this Taiyi Gate, and you should assume the responsibility in the temple. You have to make up for this shortfall, no matter if you refine the alchemy, attack the demons, or seize the resources and treasures of the rival sect, no matter which one you choose, you have to find a way to make up for the deficit of more than 100 million. Do you say you can do it?!Lu Zhenren!" Si Qingping's words could not be rejected by Lu Xihua.

Lu Xihua understood what Si Qingping meant, that is, let herself find a way to make up for the more than 100 million Qingming Pill that Taiwei Hall spent for herself, and she would win for herself her rightful position in the Taiyi Gate.

"Okay! The order of the hall master, Xihua does not dare to refuse, and he will do his best to make up for the shortfall!" Lu Xihua agreed hard, he wanted to go back immediately now, and take a good look at what Si Zhenren said just now, because he seemed to have discovered a terrible truth.

The three great calamities of Buddhism: the solemn tribulation of the past, the virtuous tribulation of the present, and the future constellation calamity. Just now, Si Zhenren only vaguely mentioned the Virtuous Tribulation and the Solemn Tribulation, so what about the Star Tribulation? Is this directly related to the Star Monarch's choice that is now in the uproar in the Horned Jupiter Domain?!
