Chapter 53: Clear Water is Thoughts

"There is no Buddha in the south. ”

A Buddha chant came like a bell.

The puppets of the mad demons stopped their movements with this Buddha chant and stood in place in a daze. Changning felt that something in these puppets quietly dissipated.

Then one by one, the frenzied puppets collapsed to the ground, losing all movement.

There was a cracking sound, and the fallen puppet turned into a handful of flying ashes.

The fog faded away, and the sky was still bright, far from dusk.

The sun is getting slanting, and it turns out to be just a trick in the fog.

If you go all the way into the fog, I am afraid that you will fall deeper and deeper into the illusion unknowingly, and you will not escape the fate of eventually becoming a puppet.

A monk came out of the forest, dressed in scarlet monk's robes, stepping barefoot among the grass and mud, but not contaminated with a trace of filth. His face was peaceful, with a little cinnabar in the center of his eyebrows, lined with jade-like skin, and he looked solemn.

"Thank you, Master, for coming to the rescue. Changning and Lu Ming bowed and thanked them.

The monk folded his hands in return, sang a Buddha name, and recited the Tao of compassion.

"Does the master know the details of this mist and the puppet?" Changning wondered.

"Outsiders, bewitching souls, living puppets. ”

It's only six words, and it's dangerous.

The bewilderment of the soul is the array, and the living puppet is the killing machine in the array. Quietly confusing people's cognition little by little, replacing the reality perceived by those who fall into the formation with the reality laid by the people who set up the formation, if it is a person who is unstable, I am afraid that it will be difficult to return to the real reality from now on.

And those who lose themselves in the Soul Confusion Array have become weapons that the Array Setters use to deal with those who are not lost in the Array. As long as the large array is slightly triggered, endless illusions will naturally be generated, and the lost will be attacked and killed for themselves. In the end, as the depth of the battle, the soul was completely annihilated, and he was reduced to a living puppet that could not be born or die, for people to drive.

At this moment, the Soul Confusion Formation was broken, but the souls of these living puppets had already dissipated, and it was absolutely impossible to break away from the Great Array again. As the great array dispersed, the foundation stone that sustained them shattered, and they themselves were completely reduced to powder as before.

In the killing array just now, Changning and Lu Ming didn't know how many of these living puppets they had killed, which also meant that the Soul Confusion Array had devoured so many innocent people. This place is so remote, and the frenzied gangsters spent so much energy to catch innocent people into the battle, and after an unknown amount of time of soul refining, they finally turned these innocent people into a part of the big array and turned into puppets.

Changning suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked, "What about the three merchants along the way?"

"I fell asleep not far ahead, but fortunately I didn't sink too deep, and I should be safe when I wake up. However, when the poor monk looked at his divine sense, there were also signs of confusion. I'm afraid that someone first confused the minds of these three people, and with their hands, they led the two of you into the formation. ”

"The people who set up the formation have fled?"

"It should be that the poor monk did not perceive anything else. ”

"I don't know ......what my intentions are when I sneak into such a close place to the sword mound," Luming muttered.

The monk recited a Buddha chant, but he didn't know. He just sensed that there was a great deal of resentment here, and it was within the monastic family's duty to overtake the revenant souls, and he didn't want to break through the soul confusion array. As for the deeper reasons in this formation, he didn't know anything more than Changning Luming and the others.

"It is really a sin to use a living person to enter the battle for sacrifice, which greatly harms the peace of heaven and earth. Qing Si whispered the mantra of the past life.

Although the soul of the living puppet in the array has already been refined, this resentment lingers, and if it is left alone, there will always be some harmful things.

Changning was silent. He thought back to the abandoned houses he passed by a few days ago, maybe there were people among the unjust souls who died here, and a nameless fire gradually ignited in Changning's heart. Although there is a method of breathing to suppress the mind, this killing intent is not something that can be easily suppressed.

When the monk saw this, he sang another Buddha song, and the Buddha sang into his ears and clear his heart, which shocked Changning's soul and resolved the ignorance and anger in his heart.

Changning, who was clear again in his heart, saluted again, and said: "It's me who lost my temper, and I want to thank the master for helping." ”

"Lingtai Qingming is the foundation of all laws. The donor's compassion for others is good, but the outside world also uses this to confuse people's minds, and the donor should be more careful. ”

Previously, Changning had guessed the purpose of the murderer's formation in the formation, and he also spoke out at this time. At first, he thought that this big array was specially set up to snipe him and Lu Ming, but after thinking about it carefully, it had only been a few days since he and Lu Ming came out of the sword mound, and looking at this big array, it must have been laid down for some time. If it's a sniper, I'm afraid there was foreshadowing a long time ago.

If it is really a person who can be laid out to such a point, why bother so much if he really wants to target the two of them?

Obviously, this is a certain trap for the disciples who go out of any sword shrine without a point, simple and rude. Lay out a formation, and then grab some innocent people at will and throw them in, and it will become a killing game. Being so close to the Sword Shrine, the high-level disciples who can resist the sword will naturally not fall into the big array, and the ones who need to walk must be fledgling disciples who are three or four steps away, and the disciples of the Sword Shrine of this realm are the targets to be hunted by this big array.

Lu Ming was furious when he heard this.

This is an act of blocking the door and slapping the face at the door of the sword mound house, not to mention how many innocent people have lost their lives in vain just for this killing game that will not necessarily succeed. At this time, the big array had been broken, and the sword signal was no longer blocked, she slapped her backhand to the sky, and a jade talisman flew up, shattered in the air, and turned into a streamer and slashed between the peaks of the sword mound.

"My junior and my brother and I are training this time to investigate the movements of the Netherworld, and the people who are laid out here are not necessarily Netherworlds, but since we have bumped into them, we must always ask for an explanation for these people who died in vain. I have already informed the master that there must be an explanation for this matter. My junior brother and I must also find out about this matter. Although Pingshui met, they still dared to ask the master for help. ”

Lu Ming pleaded.

The monk bowed and saluted back: "The poor monk walks outside, and he is here to help the common people." Even if the donor does not say anything to ask, the poor monk must also find out the culprit. ”

Changning and Lu Ming bowed their hands and thanked each other.

The three members of the Mu family were still asleep, and the horses were unharmed, impatiently digging the dirt in place.

The monk and Changning have passed the name, they are the disciples of the Qingzi generation of the Wuding Temple Jingtang, the law name is Qingsi, the generation is similar to Changning and Luming, and the age is slightly older.

Qing Si led Changning Luming and the others to the place where the three of the Mu family were placed, and read a scripture, and when the scripture came out, a thin layer of light appeared on the three of them, and then a certain blue and black qi was reflected in the light, distorting and struggling to disappear into invisibility.

After reading a scripture, the blood on the faces of the three gradually recovered, and their breathing gradually stabilized. After a few more breaths, Mu Shun woke up, followed by Mu Qiao and the old man Mu Zhong.

Changning was afraid that the Soul Confusion Array would be too terrifying, and he would frighten them, so he only said that there was a Soul Confusion Array, and the killing machine passed by, but he did not elaborate. He advised the three of them: "At this moment, I am afraid that there is already a dense maze outside the official road, and it is even more dangerous in the deep mountains like this. If you move forward again, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not fall into a crisis again, but fortunately, the maze that came the way you came has been broken, and the three of you will return along the road, at least you can keep the family safe. ”

The old man Mu Zhong sighed and said: "I thought that in the twilight of my life, I would be able to go to a dangerous place and save a little more dowry for my daughter, but it seems that God will not give me after all." However, these days have entrusted the fairy's Hongfu, the harvest of picking and collecting is enough, and the little old man also knows that people should not be greedy, since the three immortals have said that the road ahead is dangerous, then we will return, only ask for the safety of the family. I also hope that the three immortals and auspicious people can smoothly destroy these harmful things. ”

Taking out a pen and paper, the old man Mu Zhong drew the directions of the scattered villages and settlements around him one by one. He insisted that even if he couldn't take Changning all over these places, it would be better to leave a general map as a guide than nothing.

Before leaving, Changning insisted on asking the old man to take the carriage and horses together, but the old man was not hypocritical, thanked Changning, and beckoned Mu Shun and Mu Qiao to return the original way.
