Chapter 167: The Role of the Blood Lotus
All lotus treasures are grown in an extremely harsh environment.
There is a saying that out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons. This is a good indication of the uniqueness of the lotus thing.
The blood lotus is nourished by the blood and filth of the qi. Of course, among the thousands of lotus flowers, I am afraid that only a very few can withstand the blood evil qi, and finally become a blood lotus that is not stained with dust and does not contain evil qi, and becomes the purest thing in the world.
Jin Chanzi entered purgatory this time to find the blood lotus.
He knew that his life was short, and he would enter reincarnation within five years, otherwise he would be in danger of losing his soul.
Now that his Dharma golden body is scattered, his true body is still there, and what he wants is to find a blood lotus and refine it to merge with his true body, so as to ensure that his true body will not die. And in the next life, he will take back the true body of the blood lotus.
In this way, his immortal bone is still there, and the golden cicada is still the golden cicada.
Also, in order to be reincarnated, one has to give up one's physical body, set foot on the Huangquan Road, and take Meng Po soup, which means giving up everything you have in this life.
Memory, cultivation, immortal roots, body...... It has nothing to do with the afterlife.
In fact, ordinary mortals enter reincarnation, they have no power to resist, they can only accept it. But how can you be willing as a cultivator? Especially those cultivators who have cast immortal bodies and tasted the wonderful taste of immortal power.
If the golden cicada can't find the blood lotus, then as soon as he enters reincarnation, he will have to give up his true body.
As soon as the real body dies, it will be completely goodbye. No matter how many lifetimes of reincarnation cultivation he goes through, he can only be him, and he can no longer be that golden cicada!
You must know that the true body of the golden cicada is a wisp of mixed golden energy at the time of the first judgment of Hongmeng and the beginning of the opening of heaven and earth, and it is also influenced by the Zen of Buddhism, and then incarnates as the first cicada between heaven and earth.
What is a cicada?
The common name is "Know"!
Knowing and knowing, as the name suggests, the golden cicada knows its original meaning for the Zen of Buddhism and even all things in the world, which is the natural talent of the golden cicada, which is unique in the world. So he can see through the essence of the monkey at a glance, and even know that he has a master-apprentice relationship with him.
If you talk about the mastery of Buddhism and Buddhism, I am afraid that in the entire Lingshan, only the current Buddha can compare with the golden cicada.
For hundreds of thousands of years, Jin Chanzi's cultivation has become more and more exquisite, and his understanding of Buddhism has become more and more thorough, which also makes him a faint threat to the Buddha's rule over Buddhism.
It is precisely because of this that the golden cicada debated Buddhism in Lingshan Hong, which annoyed the Buddha.
So, since the Journey to the West was arranged, the second apprentice was simply calculated.
The Buddha's plan was very ingenious, first depriving the golden cicada of the golden body of the Dharma, and then allowing him to reincarnate, so as to fade his golden cicada's true body. After suffering from the reincarnation of a hundred lifetimes, let him travel west with the stone monkey to learn the scriptures, so as to achieve positive results.
In this way, the Dharma is used to benefit sentient beings, expand the influence of Buddhism, and let the world know his magnanimity.
Of course, everyone gets benefits, but only the decline of the golden cicada master and apprentice has a good end.
This Journey to the West is just a chicken-ribbed Buddha fruit position.
For example, Jin Chanzi was reincarnated as a Tang monk, and after his journey to the west, he was awarded the title of Zhantan Merit Buddha, ranking second to last among all Buddha fruits.
You must know that the true body of the golden cicada is the qi of the mixed yuan golden xuan, and his status in the Buddha world is now second only to several Buddhas.
But after the suffering of reincarnation for hundreds of lifetimes, and after nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties to achieve positive results, his status in Buddhism has dropped so much, only one place higher than Nan Wudou's victory over the Buddha at the bottom.
Yes, this fight to defeat the Buddha is the Buddha position that Sun Wukong was enshrined.
Of course, even more pitiful than the two of them is Zhu Bajie. The dignified Taoist protector god - the head of the Four Sages of the North Pole, and the marshal of Tianpeng who holds the power of the army and is in charge of the millions of soldiers in Tianhe, after the journey to the west, he only sealed a pure altar messenger, and he also played soy sauce in Buddhism. From one of the four generalissimos of the Heavenly Court to a mosquito-legged pure altar messenger, it can be said that he has been more than eighteenth level, and Bajie is bitter in his heart!
What the golden cicada has to do now is to protect his true body from destruction, otherwise once he escapes into reincarnation, there will be no golden cicada in the world!
......
Getting back to the point, the monkey suppressed the greed in his heart for the time being, and then looked at Gu Shiyan with suspicion and asked, "With Brother Gu's current cultivation, he can soar into the air with just cast his mana, why don't you take the blood lotus yourself?"
Gu Shiyan sighed slightly, and said with a slight regret: "Haven't you tried it for me?" It's just that the closer you get to the center of the blood lake, the stronger this bloody aura becomes. When I am a third of the way to the surface of the lake, I cannot go any further, or I will be eaten away by the blood and evil spirits. But Brother Sun, your exercises can refine this bloody qi, and you may be able to succeed. ”
The monkey knows that there is a God-given opportunity in front of him, but it also comes with a great crisis. But giving up without trying is not his style.
If you want to fight with Rulai and get rid of the shackles of fate, there is absolutely no chance of winning with step-by-step cultivation.
Only by giving up life and death and not letting go of any opportunity can there be a glimmer of life. This is also why he chose the most difficult path of practitioners, why he entered purgatory cultivation.
The monkey quietly closed his eyes, held his breath and concentrated, ran the Five Elements Demon Pill, and gathered the demon power in his eyes again. Then he suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes burst out with five-colored divine light!
The line of sight broke through the obstruction of the bloody evil qi, and directly under the three-inch area of the lake, there was indeed a demonic scarlet blood lotus flower.
The blood lotus has no roots, and the flowers bloom with eight petals, each petal is like a drop of blood, which is weird. Especially the surging spiritual power contained in it, which made the monkey's heart tremble suddenly. It was as if if one more glance would suck one's mind into this blood lotus.
The monkey hurriedly withdrew his eyes, but at this time, the center of his eyebrows trembled slightly. The monkey vaguely felt that the moonlight treasure box seemed to be about to move.
In the whirling world, the three demons are also palpitating.
Especially the Oiran Fairy, her beautiful eyes bloomed, her delicate voice trembled slightly, and she said excitedly: "Mu Lao, isn't the rootless blood lotus hidden under the blood lake?"
The big dead wood was slightly moved: "It is indeed a rootless blood lotus, I didn't expect the little master to be able to encounter such a treasure." ”
"If the blood lotus is refined and integrated with our demon bodies...... Cao Mang's eyes also showed a hint of greed, and he took a deep breath and continued, "Then let the true body appear in the Three Realms, and you will not be afraid of the laws of heaven and earth!"
"But the blood lotus is just one, it's not enough at all!" The Oiran looked puzzled, and then glanced at Cao Mang with ill will, and snorted coquettishly, "Mu Lao needs to sit in the world of soothing, and he is not allowed to enter the world at will. If you get this thing, you need to hand it over to me to refine. ”
With a burst of reckless killing intent, he said coldly: "Hmph, why did you come to refine the blood lotus?"
"I'll leave it to me, of course, because I've already let you go, and you've already used your clone to travel through the world. Not to be outdone, Oiran retorted.
"You're just a strong argument, you have to ask if the sword in my hand agrees!" Cao Mang gently pushed the hilt of the sword in his hand by an inch, and said with a grim expression.
"Hmph! If I appear in the world, I will definitely be of greater help to the little master than you!" Oiran glanced at with disdain, still fighting each other.
"Okay, don't make any noise! it's not certain that the little master can win the blood lotus, and even if he does, it may not be the turn of the two of you. ”
Seeing that these two friends quarreled over the blood lotus that had not yet been successful, the big dead wood also had a headache.
