Qingning Daotian, ten thousand coffins.

The Buddha's Dao body looked at the appearance of the deity, and instantly burst into tears.

In particular, I remembered the words of the deity when he left.

"If I'm gone, then you will be the Buddha. You have to protect the Temple of the Dead, you have to protect the monks who practice, and you have to protect the people of the Western Desert. ”

The Dao body rushed towards the deity with tears streaming down his face, and threw punch after punch on the deity's body.

The deity just kept smiling.

The Dao body hit the deity one by one in this way, until he was exhausted.

The deity, whose face had changed shape, smiled and asked:

"I wonder why you're hitting me?"

The Dao body was stunned for a moment, his face instantly became hideous, and he pinched the neck of the deity and said:

"I am you, why do you and I say!"

Dao Body said indifferently:

"Once you were me, but I wasn't you. Now you are you, and I am still me. ”

Shangguan Chen on the side shook his head and asked Dong Solstice in a low voice:

"What are these two people playing, what are you, me, and me? Aren't the Dao body and the deity one person?"

The winter solstice stared at the Buddha's body and deity for a moment and pondered:

"The golden body of Zhangliu is different from the way of one gas and three purifications, and I can't see why. But I speculate that the Dao body is definitely already an independent individual, otherwise it would not have thought differently from the Buddha-figure. This Dao body is so peculiar, presumably the deity also knows about it, but I don't know why the deity is so laissez-faire. ”

Just as the two were muttering on the side, the Buddha's deity broke free from the hands of the Dao body and walked towards the winter solstice and Shangguan Chen. And the Dao body was not as manic as it was at the beginning, but sat on the sidelines, just staring at the deity, but not knowing what he was thinking.

The winter solstice saw the Buddha walking forward, and gave a deep bow and said:

"The disciple of Manshan has seen the Buddha on the winter solstice. ”

The Buddha sang a Buddha horn, which was considered a return salute. Then he asked:

"Where did the barbarian mountain disciples come from?"

This is obviously a very simple question, but Dong Solstice pondered for a moment before answering:

He asked. ”

The Buddha's eyes froze, staring at the winter solstice tightly. A boy who seems to be fourteen or fifteen years old, how can he not make the Buddha curious to ask.

The Buddha thought for a moment and said, "Can you ask when you come to the Ten Thousand Coffins?"

Dong Solstice smiled and said:

"Everything in the world has a Tao, and the mountains, rivers, earth, sun, moon and stars are all in the Tao. Why can't you ask in the coffin. ”

After listening to the answer of the winter solstice, the Buddha liked this young man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, so he continued to ask questions to the winter solstice:

"What do you think the Tao is?"

Winter Solstice thought seriously for a moment and replied:

"The Tao is natural. Heaven is natural. Humane and natural. Everything in the world is natural. ”

The bright eyes of the Buddha Lord flashed with a hint of playfulness:

"Then let's talk about what is the way of heaven and what is humanity?"

Winter Solstice Road:

"The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more than is lost. The way of man, the loss is not enough to give more than enough. Heaven is the most public, and heaven takes all things as a dog, and it is balanced. Humanity is different, man feeds himself with all things, and is extremely selfish."

The eyes of the Buddha were even brighter:

"Go on. ”

Winter Solstice said very seriously:

"Humanity is selfish. The monk seeks immortality and great supernatural powers. Mortals seek wealth and glory, and power over the world. Everyone's way is different. ”

At this time, there was only seriousness left in the eyes of the Buddha Master, and there was no playfulness just now, but asked cautiously:

"And what is your way?"

Dong Solstice did not hesitate at all, and said categorically:

"Truth!"

The Buddha was silent, not knowing what the Buddha was thinking.

The winter solstice didn't make a sound, just sat quietly.

After half a pillar of incense, the Buddha slowly raised his head. I don't know what secret method the Buddha Lord himself used, but I saw that he pinched a handprint, and the Buddha's Dao body fell into a coma. Although the winter solstice and Shangguan Chen felt a little strange, they didn't say anything.

The Buddha looked at the winter solstice and said flatly:

"When he was young, the poor monk was curious about the world. A flower, somehow bloomed. A tree, somehow already towering to the sky. The sun and moon in the sky somehow rotated. A person, it dissipates in a hurry of decades. Poor monks don't want to live for a few short decades. Therefore, the poor monk sought out many sects, hoping to embark on the path of cultivation. It's not to rely on immortality, but just to let the poor monk see more of the world, find out the reason why this flower blooms, find out the reason why the trees become forests, and discover the mystery of the alternation of the sun and the moon. ”

Shangguan Chen and Dong Solstice were still silent. The Buddha Lord sighed and said:

The poor monk slowly began to practice. In the realm of initial awakening, it took 60 years for the poor monk to realize the existence of aura when the poor monk was about to run out of oil and lamp, and he was able to prolong his life for 300 years. In the realm of awakening, the poor monk was only enlightened when he was about to die, and he was able to prolong his life for 600 years. In the realm of small mountains, the poor monk was able to enter when his lifespan was exhausted, and finally gained a lifespan of 1,200 years. Then guess how long it took for the poor monk to become a fairyland monk?"

Shangguan Chen thought for a while and said:

"Could it be that when your life span is exhausted? ”

The Buddha shook his head with a smile and said:

"A month. ”

Shangguan Chen shouted, 'it', and Dong Solstice also looked at the Buddha Lord in shock.

The Buddha Master indifferently continued:

"After the poor monk stepped into the mountains, he became a monk in the realm of Qiongge in a month. In the next seven days, he became a monk in the realm of Yuyu, and on the second day after entering the realm of Yuyu, the poor monk cultivated to the point of being cold. ”

Shangguan Chen's jaw dropped, and his heart was galloping.

The winter solstice was also a little shocked by the progress of this kind of cultivation, and he had never heard of anyone entering the realm so quickly.

Shangguan Chen couldn't help but ask:

"Aren't you the reincarnation of an immortal?"

The Buddha smiled and said:

"Of course not, they have all become immortal immortals, do they still need to be reincarnated? In the third year when the poor monk became one of the few invincible monks in the Qingning Dao Heaven, there was a creature who found the poor monk. ”

Winter Solstice asked, "What do you mean? Isn't it a human race?"

The Buddha said, "The poor monks don't know either. Judging from the appearance, it is definitely a human race. But this man said he was from the Netherworld. ”

Shangguan Chen hurriedly asked, "The creature that came out of the netherworld?"

The Buddha Lord nodded and said, "It should be." Although the poor monk had never seen a ghost in the netherworld, that person was certainly not the spirit of a monk. ”

Winter Solstice asked again, "What about after I found you?"

The Buddha smiled and said, "He said that everything the poor monk did was his reward, and he also told the poor monk many things. Finally, let the poor monk come to the Ten Thousand Coffins Tomb and make a deal with the beast lord. ”

"What deal?" Shangguan Chen hurriedly asked.

The Buddha Lord said indifferently: "That person asked the poor monk to transfer a method with the Beast Lord, that is, the method they are cultivating now, which should be able to accelerate their bloodline awakening, this is the first transaction." The second deal is a bet. ”

Shangguan Chen rolled his eyes, the secret path was indeed the deity of the Dao body, and the Buddha Lord Dao body was very fond of gambling, and he gambled on himself to the ten thousand coffins.

The Buddha Lord continued: "The bet is that the beast lord can't eat the poor monk. ”

Dong Solstice wondered: "What does it mean that you can't eat?"

The Buddha said: "Every day, a stick of incense is about to eat the flesh and blood of poor monks in a stick of incense, and only then can you step out of the ten thousand coffins." If you can't eat the flesh and blood of a poor monk in a stick of incense, you can't leave the ten thousand coffins. ”

Shangguan Chen and the winter solstice only understood why they were miserable when they saw the Buddha himself. But what the winter solstice can't figure out is why the monks who are already in the cold realm should listen to the words of the creatures in the netherworld. The Invincible Cold Realm was already the pinnacle of the Qingning Dao Heaven, and it was also the peak combat power that the Qingning Dao Heaven allowed to exist.

In other words, even a monk in the realm of negative yin and yang can only exert the cultivation of the invincible cold realm in the Qingning Daotian.

So this is also the reason why the winter solstice can't figure it out.

The Buddha looked at the puzzled winter solstice and said slowly:

"You may think it is incredible, the poor monk has become a monk in the realm of unbearable cold, why do you still listen to the words of a creature who came out of a strange place? In fact, the poor monk was the same as you at the beginning, the only thing he believed in was his own heart. However, the creatures in the netherworld told the poor monk that the poor monk had not gone through the path of reincarnation, but had been sent directly into the world by the ghosts of the netherworld. ”

"Hundred ghosts send children!" Shangguan Chen said in unison with the winter solstice!

The Buddha Lord nodded and continued:

"The creatures in the netherworld told the poor monk that the cause and effect of countless epochs would be terminated in this element. In order to be able to have the last laugh, the Netherworld has played countless secret hands and scattered countless chess pieces, and the poor monk is precisely one of the slightly more important chess pieces. And the poor monk can indeed feel that the life and death of the poor monk is only between the thoughts of that living being, just like the lifeblood of the Dao body is pinched in the hands of the poor monk, and the lifeblood of the poor monk is also pinched in the hands of that living being. ”

Shangguan Chen listened to the words of the Buddha Master, quickly shook his head, frowned and said:

"Oh, it's really messy! What cause and effect, what chess pieces, I really don't understand. Let's stop thinking about it, let's get out of this hellish place. ”

Shangguan Chen got up as he spoke, wanting to pull up the winter solstice and leave the Ten Thousand Coffins with the Buddha.

But the Buddha Lord smiled and shook his head.

"The poor monk can't go, if the poor monk walks out of the ten thousand coffins, the fierce beast will definitely walk out of the ten thousand coffins. The creatures in the netherworld had told the poor monk that the beast lord was a glutton, fierce and cruel, and would never bow his head for the exercises that the beast could practice. That's why there was a bet with the poor monk. Gluttonous and hungry, so the poor monk practiced the body refining power given by the creatures in the netherworld, and accepted the huge spiritual energy in the ten thousand coffins into the body, and integrated the soul with the body. Although it is the immortal road of the poor monk, it is worth it. Because that gluttony can eat flesh and blood, but it can't quickly absorb the aura of heaven and earth contained in flesh and blood, and it can't digest the power of the soul contained in the body of the poor monk. With the slow cultivation progress of the beast lord, if it were not for hundreds of years, it would not be able to devour the poor monk in a stick of incense. ”

Shangguan Chen secretly swallowed his saliva. A hundred years is indeed not a long time for a monk, but the time it takes to be bitten by a fierce beast and devour a stick of incense every day is definitely comparable to purgatory. For twelve hours a day, except for the time when a stick of incense was bitten, the rest of the time was spent repairing the flesh, waiting to be eaten again.

Hearing this, the winter solstice almost understood why the Buddha refused to leave in the ten thousand coffins.

First, the creatures in the netherworld are so powerful that they can't resist, and since they are chess pieces, the Buddha also has the consciousness of chess pieces.

Second, if the fierce beast rushes out of the Ten Thousand Coffins Tomb now, the first unlucky one will be the Temple of the Afterlife, and countless human races in the Western Desert will also suffer.

Dong Solstice pondered for a moment and asked:

"Since the creatures in the Netherworld use you as a pawn, is your pawn only a delaying beast?"

The Buddha glanced meaningfully at the winter solstice:

"I also asked the poor monk to wait for someone. ”

Shangguan Chen asked curiously, "What kind of person?"

The Buddha chuckled:

"This person has been to the Netherworld, has seen Lethe, and has no choice but to do it, but he doesn't add cause and effect, he can't calculate the past life, and he can't wait to see the future. ”

Shangguan Chen muttered: "How can you still go to the Netherworld to reincarnate without a person from a previous life? ”

After Dong Solstice took a deep look at the Buddha Lord, he picked up the unconscious Buddha Lord's body and pulled Shangguan Chen to walk behind the stone stele.

And the Buddha Lord himself looked at the fierce beast lord who had opened his eyes and was about to move, and also muttered in a low voice:

"Life, I want it too. Righteousness, I also want it. A gentleman sacrifices his life for righteousness!"
