Chapter 212: Treasure Hunt
The so-called "learning scriptures" is a name, which is reflected in the opening of the entire Nanzhan Buzhou, the introduction of the Buddha's classics, and then the great construction of the temple, so that the Buddha's foothold here and absorb believers.
As a large territory of the human race, the population of Nanzhan Buzhou is not known to be hundreds of millions, which is quite large.
This is exactly what attracts the Great Thunder Sound Temple.
The population of the Western Heavenly Buddha Kingdom is also quite large, but when it comes to believers, there is no sect that is too large. The foundation of the Buddha's religion is based on the incense of believers. If the Buddha wants to preach and achieve the fruits of the Tao, he must rely on this.
Therefore, when the Immortal Emperor proposed to join forces to deal with the demon clan, the Buddha agreed after a little consideration.
This has nothing to do with race, in the eyes of the Buddha, there is no class, and the distinction has long been downplayed. It's not that they treat everyone equally, but they are all treated as living beings, and the essence is the same.
However, Buddhism has a mantra, and the true scriptures cannot be taken lightly, and it is necessary to go through hardships before it can express piety and sincerity.
Therefore, I came up with such a name for learning from the scriptures.
Regarding this matter, Zhao Lingtai is clear. After seeing through it, it is nothing more than that the Great Leiyin Temple wants to use this matter to promote the Western paradise and attract attention. Making it loud will help increase the influence of Buddhism and make it easier to attract believers.
The problem is that this path of learning from the scriptures actually chose to come from Dongsheng Shenzhou. In the current situation, it is really self-defeating.
Zhao Lingtai couldn't figure it out, and so did Lu Shanjun and the others. However, they didn't think much about it, they only pursed their lips and grinned: "This time, I don't know which demon king will eat this scripture learner." ”
Zhao Lingtai asked: "If you catch the person who learns the scriptures, do you have to sacrifice it to the demon king?"
Lu Shanjun said: "This is the custom. ”
"Convention?"
This time, Zhao Lingtai was even more curious.
Lu Shanjun looked at him: "Brother Zhao, don't you know? This is not the first time to learn the scriptures, but the third time." ”
Zhao Lingtai was stunned: He really didn't know about this.
Lu Shanjun thought that he was in retreat and didn't know anything outside, so he explained: "The matter of learning scriptures has been there many years ago, and the route is not delineated. This time, it's the third time. Tsk, I heard that the selected people are all white and tender, which are most suitable for eating raw, and it is extremely refreshing to swallow it in one bite. ”
Xiong Bojun said in a deep voice: "There is also a saying that these scripture takers are the reincarnation of the Buddha, who are not afraid of death, die once, reincarnate once, and do not count as liberation until they succeed in learning the scriptures and their merits are complete." ”
Lu Shanjun took a sip: "Don't listen to those bald donkeys' nonsense, it's all lies, but I don't believe it at all." ”
The leopard touched his chin: "I also heard that the person who learned the scriptures is not ordinary, not only the skin and flesh are delicious, but also eat his flesh and blood, but also prolong life, which is equivalent to tonic a good elixir." ”
Lu Shanjun laughed and said: "This is also a rumor, I don't know if it's true or not, but I think about it, it should be somewhat reliable, otherwise, the demon king won't be able to look down on it." ”
Every word you say and I say are talking about the person who learns the scriptures.
Zhao Lingtai listened silently, and felt more and more strange about this matter.
In the words of the Great Lei Yin Temple, the choice of the route of learning scriptures through Dongsheng Shenzhou is a difficult process and a real test, and the problem is that the test does not have a direct reason to die. When the person who learns the scriptures comes, I am afraid that he will be caught before he has landed on the shore, unless the other party brings a team of bodyguards, but this is impossible, in that case, there is no point in learning the scriptures.
After talking for a while, Lu Shanjun caught a glimpse of Zhao Lingtai's silent expression, afraid of snubbing him, so he hurriedly changed the topic: "Don't talk about the person who learned the scriptures, it's useless to say it, it's not our turn, and we can't eat a cup of meat soup." By the way, Brother Zhao, what are the arrangements for you to come to the national capital?"
Zhao Lingtai shook his head: "I have been in retreat for a long time, and I don't know a lot of things outside, so I have nothing to do when I come out to walk." ”
Lu Shanjun was overjoyed: "This is very good, if you don't dislike it, you will live in our manor, you and I eat meat and drink wine every day, wouldn't you be happy?"
Zhao Lingtai pretended to groan: "I'm afraid it's too much of a nuisance." ”
Lu Shanjun hurriedly waved his hand and said that you don't need to be polite, the three Xiong Bojun also spoke out to persuade each other. It turns out that they are also the masters of this place.
This big manor is the property that the four of them have earned together. Come to think of it, with just one, even if it's a big demon, it's a little powerless.
After some pushing, Zhao Lingtai agreed.
Lu Shanjun and others were overjoyed, and persuaded them to drink one after another.
The wine is hearty, bowl by bowl, jar by jar, and drinking into the stomach is not child's play. But Zhao Lingtai has his own way, he has a Dao treasure, and with a slight flush of the qi of creation, he dissolves countless drinks and turns them into invisible.
After a few rounds of drinking, Zhao Lingtai pretended to be a little drunk, so Lu Shanjun arranged two slaves and maids, helped him down, and went to the wing room to rest.
When he arrived at the room, he lay down in his clothes, and when there was no one in the room, Zhao Lingtai Huo Ran opened his eyes and was full of energy.
This time he was invited over and was warmly received by the other party, but he always felt that something was wrong.
In the world, there are few such good things, maybe the other party wants to make friends with themselves, but what about after making friends? It is impossible to eat and drink here for nothing every day.
Zhao Lingtai is not afraid of the future, he came here to find an opportunity, and he was about to make trouble. Just deal with it randomly and take it in stride.
said that the four of Lu Shanjun were still in the hall, facing a mess and losing their interest in eating and drinking.
Lu Shanjun swept his eyes and asked, "Three virtuous brothers, what do you think?"
The bull demon's big nose shrugged one after another, and his eyes were bulging: "I can't see what his body is." It's like a dog, it's not like it, and the blood of the dog has always been thin, and it is extremely difficult to pass it on, and it is difficult to achieve a big demon. ”
The leopard head echoed: "Indeed, I have opened my demon eyes, and I only see chaos and confusion. ”
Xiong Bojun's eyes flashed with greed: "On his body, there must be a heavy treasure that covers his qi." ”
When it comes to babies, several of them are shining.
Lu Shanjun said in a deep voice: "If you can't see through the roots, it's not easy to do, and if you provoke tricky ones, we will be in trouble." ”
The bull demon shook his head and said, "In my opinion, he doesn't have much background, he doesn't look like it at all, but like a loose cultivator demon." ”
The leopard head asked: "Although there is a demonic aura on its body, whether it is a big demon or not, but I can't say for sure." You have to give it a try to see if it's real or fake. ”
"But no, even the body is hidden, which makes people suspicious. ”
Several discussions were concentrating on Zhao Lingtai.
Lu Shanjun's eyes lit up: "No matter what, since he has entered our door, we can't let him leave easily." Tomorrow morning, I'll take him out and get a good look at the details, and then I'll talk about it. ”
"Yes, listen to Big Brother. ”
Xiong Bojun had no objection and agreed.
The mind of the demon clan is relatively simple, but it is also relatively speaking, when the cultivation reaches a certain level, there are no more stupid people. It's all because I'm too stupid to live this far.
Lying on the gorgeous and comfortable bed, Zhao Lingtai was still a little unaccustomed to it at first, and he didn't sleep, he only closed his eyes to recuperate, began to breathe, and did his homework.
I don't know how long it took, but it was already dark outside, and it was nightfall.
Huge manor, quite peaceful.
Zhao Lingtai remained silent and did not sleep all night, during which no incident occurred. But he guessed that somewhere outside the door, there might be a monster watching and watching, or maybe it was just the normal vigilance of the manor......
There was nothing to do all night, and when I got up the next day, there was a serving slave and maid who went to tell Lu Shanjun that the tiger demon came over with a smile on his face and invited Zhao Lingtai to have breakfast.
The so-called breakfast, but the table is full of wine and meat, quite rich, piled on the table, it looks like a mountain.
How to eat it like this......
It's amazing.
Only big demons are difficult to raise.
Although there are many ingredients, for several big demons, there is no waste. Wind and clouds, a full meal.
There is something delicious, and Zhao Lingtai is not welcome.
After eating and drinking, and putting fragrant tea on the table, the aroma is curling, and when you smell the smell, you will know that it is not a mortal thing.
In fact, eating, drinking, living and traveling are not as simple as that. Ordinary things, I can't see them for a long time. It's like in the heavenly court, it's some clear water, and it's also a rare thing in the world.
Zhao Lingtai ascended for the first time, and he didn't stay in the Immortal Realm for a long time, but his eyes were opened. Compared to the meteorological landscape of Heavenly Court, the specifications of Lu Shanjun's side are nothing. In the heavens, true treasures everywhere. The most typical example is the guard's Xuantao, at that time, Zhao Lingtai really moved his mind, that is, he didn't have a chance to eat one, so he was planted and knocked to the dust.
Drinking tea, the body and mind are refreshed, and I feel relaxed.
Lu Shanjun several, knocking on the side, wanted to find out some news from Zhao Lingtai's mouth, but Zhao Lingtai was only vague and vague.
After talking for a while, Lu Shanjun became a little impatient and said, "Brother Zhao, a lot of things have happened in the south of Shenzhou recently. ”
Zhao Lingtai asked, "What's the matter? Isn't it the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals who have called over?"
"That's not yet, across the ocean, it's not easy for the heavenly generals to call. ”
Zhao Lingtai thought to himself, with the ability of the Heavenly Court, if the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals descended on the Dongsheng Divine Continent, how many obstacles could be played in that vast ocean? When the cultivation reached a certain level, the geographical advantage would be gone. In the heavenly court, those who are incorporated into the army are basically human immortals. As for the marshal Tianzun, they are all immortals.
It is said that Heavenly Court has been recruiting troops and is building a powerful army. When this army is completed, it is the time for the official decisive battle against the demon clan.
Prior to this, due to the disagreements and battles with the Sword Ancestor faction, the Immortal Emperor's plan was delayed, and this has been delayed until now.
Xiong Bojun interjected: "The heavenly soldiers and generals are not afraid to call, we have the God Ape King in charge, and we can kill as many as we come." ”
The tone was full of confidence.
Come to think of it, after all, there are nine demon kings in Dongsheng Divine Continent, if it is so easy to fight, Heavenly Court will already fight. At this stage, it is probably a constant erosion and depletion.
Lu Shanjun smiled: "Our Shenlai Kingdom is located at the southern end of Shenzhou, and the first thing to do is to fight us when the Heavenly Court starts a war." Of course, it's too early to say that. I'm talking about another thing, about the South China Sea region, there are frequent changes, maybe there are heavy treasures. ”
Zhao Lingtai raised his eyebrows: "There are still heavy treasures left outside?"
That's not true. ”
Lu Shanjun said: "Not to mention the heavy treasure, it is thirty-six caves and seventy-two blessed lands, and it has not yet been completely born." The fairy realm is vast, I don't know how many unknown places there are, waiting to be explored, there are treasures in those places, what's strange? I think back then, when the fairy realm was opened, the mantra came out: The avenue is three thousand, and the way of heaven is only nine. In each way, there is a treasure corresponding to it, suppressing luck. Three thousand avenues, there are three thousand treasures. So far, how many have been discovered, I'm afraid there are not half of them, where is the rest? The Heavenly Dao Treasure has only been released, and three are still missing. Of course, such opportunities are really ethereal and difficult to compete for. However, if you retreat and ask for it, you can still think about it. ”
Zhao Lingtai listened, his eyes showed a hot color appropriately, but he was not completely acting. Although he has money, there are not too many babies.
These are not magic weapons, but real Dao treasures.
Lu Shanjun looked at it, secretly happy, and felt that Zhao Lingtai was tempted. Of course, he himself is tempted. Everything that is said is true. Maybe the statistics are different, and the deviation is not too much. Indeed, whether it is the treasure of the Heavenly Dao or the treasure of the Great Dao, a considerable part of them are still scattered somewhere in the fairy realm, waiting for someone to be destined.
For thousands of years, treasure hunting has been the hottest topic in the fairy world. Whether it is a human race or a demon race, they are all happy to do it.
Zhao Lingtai sighed: "Hey, this kind of treasure is really exciting, but it is unpredictable, and it is difficult to find it." ”
Lu Shanjun slapped his thigh: "That's right, in recent years, in the South China Sea, there have been many flashes of rays, attracting countless peeps. To be honest, I had the intention of going to find out, and now I got acquainted with Brother Zhao, so I happened to go together, so we could take care of each other. ”
Zhao Lingtai said happily: "Thanks to the promotion, Zhao is willing to go with him." ”
Lu Shanjun and Xiong Bojun secretly glanced at each other, and laughed: "Refreshing, that's without further ado, let's set off now." ”
That's exactly what I mean. ”
Zhao Lingtai happily replied.
When you reach such a cultivation realm, you will become very decisive, and you will not have any distractions to drag your mother-in-law, and you will even save cleaning up.
The five joined forces, and thus left the kingdom of God.
When he arrived outside the city, if Xiong Bojun found it, he suddenly asked, "Brother Zhao, where is your accompanying dog?"
One person and one dog, Lu Shanjun few, faintly felt in his heart that he was more concerned about the puppy that he couldn't see through, and he was weird everywhere.
Zhao Lingtai smiled indifferently: "He is good at the art of concealment, don't worry about it." ”
Saying this, Lu Shanjun and the others were uncomfortable, and secretly looked around, but found nothing.
They made this trip with a different kind of thought. However, before Zhao Lingtai can figure out the details, these thoughts will not be revealed. Well, now Zhao Lingtai is in the light, but there is an elusive dog hidden in the dark, and it is difficult to deal with it when it is bright and dark.
At the same time, these big demons were still speculating in their hearts, could it be that Zhao Lingtai was wary, so he arranged it like this?
It seems that this guy is not easy to start.
In this way, Lu Shanjun became cautious and cautious everywhere, not teaching Zhao Lingtai to see the flaws.
Lu Shanjun is good at talking, there are many topics, sometimes talking about knowledge, sometimes talking about experience, and sometimes looking for Zhao Lingtai to discuss his cultivation and insights.
On the issue of spiritual practice, it is quite sensitive, and it cannot be faked. After all, there is a fundamental difference between the exercises practiced by the human race and the demon race. In this regard, it is easy to understand the depths.
Zhao Lingtai is also a person, the "Corpse Cutting Sutra" he practiced has a unique way, plus the authentic inheritance obtained from the bone demon, one by one.
If you didn't have a deep understanding before, you didn't have many opinions. But after three years of concentrating on cultivation, it is no longer Wuxia Ameng, just say a few words, there is a mysterious truth, and they are stunned when they hear Lu Shanjun, and they even have a kind of ecstasy like obtaining a treasure.
The more profound the cultivation realm, the more obscure the truth becomes, and in the end it is like a book from heaven.
The so-called road to simplicity, but simplicity is by no means simple. For example, when a master preached, his words were simple, and he often said a word, and the disciples below listened to it, and they could understand the thickness of a book through that word, so as to interpret it in various directions.
Different interpretations will lead to different comprehensions, and the final results will be different.
The words that leaked out of Zhao Lingtai's mouth made Lu Shanjun and several people feel a storm in their hearts, surprised and delighted. Immediately, Zhao Lingtai's opinion immediately changed. The minds that had been made up were shaken.
Regarding these, Zhao Lingtai didn't think much about it. He is wary of himself, secretly vigilant, and will not change easily.
These are two different things.
It is another thing to convey some of the subtleties of the "Corpse Sutra" through words.
I think that at the beginning, when I met the bone demon, the bone demon wanted to kill Zhao Lingtai, and I wanted to fight to the death with the sword ancestor. But later he was moved by the Sword Ancestor, and finally chose to pass the original demon text to Zhao Lingtai.
It's a lot of favor.
As the predecessor of the demon clan, the bone demon hopes to reach an alliance with the sword ancestor, if the sword ancestor can see the light of day and make a comeback, it will be a little better for the demon clan. We can get along with each other peacefully, not differently.
In fact, at the very beginning of the alliance ascension, this was agreed.
It's just that later, for the sake of interests, they tore each other's faces and turned against each other. There are twists and turns in it, there is nothing to say, and it is impossible to argue who is right and who is wrong.
Jian Zu let Zhao Lingtai accept the "Corpse Sutra", which means that he accepted this favor.
When Jian Zu was not there, Zhao Lingtai had to repay this favor.
The object of repayment is the entire demon clan.
Of course, it doesn't mean that in the face of the demon clan, Zhao Lingtai has to compromise and retreat unprincipledly, it's not like that at all. Instead, let him treat the demon clan well under the conditions allowed. For example, when he entered Xinlingtai Mountain, he used gentle means, instead of serving the tiger demon in one pot.
These are all acts of goodwill.
Release kindness, whether the other person accepts it or not, that's the other person's business. If they are obsessed, Zhao Lingtai does not mind sending them to the western sky.
Anyway, what he has to do is enough if he does it. At a deeper level, it can be regarded as a cause and effect.
The scope of cause and effect is very wide, very deep, and mysterious, and there are various theories. There is a consensus in the spiritual community that the more profound the cultivation, the more cause and effect must be reduced. It is not a good thing to be entangled in cause and effect, at least it will cause trouble and the mind will not be able to calm down, and at worst, it will involve the whole body and even invite the disaster of death.
These things are not to scare people.
Zhao Lingtai was born from the grassroots, and naturally there are many causes and effects. However, the cause and effect in the human world, before the ascension, he basically dealt with it properly. What is left is nothing more than Fang Xiafeng, but it is not a problem.
Ascension to the Immortal Realm, one of the major causes and effects is the grudge between him and Qingyou Xingjun. Killing Qingyou Xingjun means that the cause and effect is over, but it will involve a new cause and effect: Qingyou Xingjun's family wants to seek revenge on him!
It's just that those, in another form, will be ignored for the time being.
Another big cause and effect is between Zhao Lingtai and Jian Zu. This cause and effect is so deep that it is impossible to unravel. It is all because from the very beginning, the reason why Zhao Lingtai was able to open his mind and embark on the path of cultivation was completely due to the role of the Sword Ancestor. As for the later events, they are even more entangled and inseparable.
It can be said that Zhao Lingtai's body has been deeply branded by the Sword Ancestor, and it is difficult to get rid of it.
He will not eliminate, as a disciple of the Sword Ancestor, he is proud. Rescuing the Sword Ancestor is an unshirkable responsibility.
Now, to Lu Shanjun and a few big demons, telling some of the mysteries of the "Corpse Sutra" is just a scale and half a claw, far from being a text mantra, but the goodwill released is enough, it depends on how the other party understands and treats it.
Their attitudes have changed, and when they talk, they even have some respect, and they are no longer the kind of enthusiasm and boldness that reveals hypocrisy.
The reason why Lu Shanjun and others were shaken was because of their own personal considerations. They have already decided that Zhao Lingtai is a veritable demon, or the unfathomable kind. Otherwise, how can there be such insight?
In the face of such a big demon, it is really unwise to be an enemy of it. Zhao Lingtai must be pregnant with a baby, and whether the key is whether the baby can be grabbed is a headache. In this case, it is better to cooperate with it honestly and go treasure hunting in the South China Sea. It's not easy, it's easier.
Moreover, Zhao Lingtai speaks decently and has a chic demeanor, which is even more convincing. Lu Shanjun even had the meaning of being ashamed of himself.
From the Kingdom of God to the South China Sea, the road is long, but for the existence of the big demon level, it is not a problem. They didn't go all out, and they looked light.
On this day, I came to the edge of the South China Sea, looked at it with my eyes, and saw a sea of blue waves, boundless.
The name of the South China Sea is really ordinary, and there is also a South China Sea in the world. But the same name is different, not the same day, there are too many differences. Not to mention the width and depth, let's say that in the South China Sea in front of you, there are sometimes krakens as big as mountains making waves, which is impossible to have in the South China Sea in the world.
There are demons in the South China Sea, big demons, and dragon kings and dragon palaces, which are extremely luxurious. The dragon clan belongs to the demon clan, but its position is a little vague, I heard that the dragon king's side has dealings with the Heavenly Court Immortal Emperor. But it's just hearsay, not substantiation.
Zhao Lingtai is no stranger to this sea, because he came from the other side of the sea.
Goodbye Wang Yang, still sighing.
Just at dusk, the afterglow of the sunset shone on the sparkling sea, but at the infinite blue waves, there was a golden light flashing, brilliant and dazzling, domineering.
Seeing this, Lu Shanjun lost his voice and said: "It's the king of the divine ape, he went to Nanshan to visit friends, and he will return today." ”
Zhao Lingtai stared intently, but when he saw the golden light covering his eyes, it was still difficult to see clearly, and he sighed secretly in his heart: "It's really a peerless demon king, ......."
