The old monk in linen Zen clothes disappeared above the head of the giant beast and appeared in front of Haotian and the Fourth Confucian Patriarch without any fluctuation in power.
The space has not moved, and neither has the airflow.
The process of moving did not have any impact on the outside world, as if he had always been standing there.
This kind of horror displayed in a silent place is shocking to everyone.
"Master!"
Jewel Ksitigarbha stepped forward, put his hands together, and saluted the old monk.
There was no surprise on her face.
This undoubtedly confirmed Zhang Ruochen's guess that Baozhu Ksitigarbha knew from beginning to end that Ksitigarbha was not dead and everything was her lie.
"Ksitigarbha!"
Shang Tian and Huang Tian were shocked.
At the same time, Huang Tian aroused strong curiosity. Since Ksitigarbha's cultivation level was so terrifying, why did Ksitigarbha deceive everyone and claim that he had passed away?
Since Ksitigarbha Ksitigarbha is not dead, why let Tanduo Ksitigarbha and Baoyin Ksitigarbha be allowed to cooperate with the Eight Tribes?
In this carefully planned small-scale conspiracy, what role did Ksitigarbha play?
Both Haotian and the Fourth Confucian Patriarch had traveled to the wilderness. They had met Ksitigarbha many years ago and had a certain understanding of Ksitigarbha's knowledge, character, and cultivation.
Therefore, although I was surprised to see him appear, I was able to deal with it calmly.
Ksitigarbha took off the bamboo hat he wore on his head. His beard and eyebrows were all white, and his brow bones and eyes were extremely three-dimensional, making his eyes look very deep.
He said: "The Ancestor of the Underworld is so powerful! Even if he is hundreds of millions of miles away, he can still perceive thousands of secrets and changes in the universe. If you want to hide from him and enter the sea of grey, or even enter the Biluo Pass, it is as difficult as climbing.
sky."
"In order to enter Biluo Pass today, the poor monk has made too many preparations. The fake death escape during Engyao was one of them."
Ksitigarbha is not an old man with a benevolent face. Instead, he is full of energy and shows infinite fighting spirit. You can imagine how handsome he was when he was young.
He said: "The orb is not intended to deceive you, but it is really difficult to avoid the perception of the Ancestor of the Underworld and enter the wilderness without concealing the truth!"
Is this really an ancestor?
Is the First Ancestor apologizing to them for the Orb Ksitigarbha?
Fortunately, the monks present have a deep state of mind, are first-class beings, and can be calm and composed. If it were any other god, he would probably have knelt down.
Ksitigarbha looked at the broken earth in front of him and sighed: "The poor monk still underestimated the perception ability of Ming Zu! The moment I entered Biluo Pass, he knew that I was not dead and knew that I had come to the Gray Sea. Fortunately,
Yan Huanyu temporarily stopped him and bought us some time."
Shang Tian always felt that the old monk in front of him was not like the ancestor, and did not have the majesty of the ancestor-level existence in the legend. He couldn't help but ask: "May I ask the holy monk, has your cultivation reached the level of the ancestor?"
Everyone present, including Jizo, who had always known that Master was unfathomable, showed curious expressions.
Since ancient times, the ancestors have been famous throughout the ages.
The half-ancestor is already unattainable, but compared to the first ancestor, there is still a world of difference.
The ancestor represents omnipotence.
King Ksitigarbha smiled: "The ancestor? He just got a ray of light from the times and was lucky enough to reach this state."
"It's Entropy Yao. After Entropy Yao, the rules of heaven and earth have further changed drastically. The blockade of the realms by the rules of heaven and earth has weakened. Even the barriers of the three realms have become blurred. The light is no longer absolute light. The truth is no longer absolute truth. Space
There is no longer an absolute level of immutability, chaos is coming."
"Chaos represents the release of the shackles, allowing everything to grow wildly, until destruction comes after a Yuan Hui."
"The prelude to death is often carnival."
"In terms of Buddhism, I can't compare to the seven Buddhas. In terms of cultivation talent, I can't compare to the Great Demon Lord. In any other era, with my little talent, I would never have been able to reach the state of the ancestors."
Ksitigarbha's words came from the bottom of his heart, but everyone thought he was too modest.
The Fourth Confucian Patriarch fell into a desperate situation of death before he successfully integrated Haoran's righteousness and spiritual power and broke through to the peak of the ninety-fourth level. After reaching the half-ancestral level, it is so difficult to break through even a small level.
There is an unimaginable distance between the peak of the Half-Ancestor and the First Ancestor.
Baozhu Ksitigarbha is a person who will never hide his emotions, anger, sorrows and joys. His face was full of joy and he said: "Since Master is the ancestor of this world, then this small disaster in Biluo Pass can naturally be solved easily."
There was no movement on Ksitigarbha's face, but there was a bit more sadness in his eyes.
Zhang Ruochen knew very well what "Bi Luo Pass" meant. Buddha Kasyapa sacrificed his life to build a virtual cauldron, and used his own soul to leave the "White Stone Enlightenment Diagram" on the cauldron.
Biluo Pass is on the "White Stone Attunement Picture".
What is the purpose of this?
There is no doubt that Biluo Pass hides a great secret.
Mingzu wanted to destroy Xuding more than once, and wanted to obliterate the "White Stone Attunement Diagram" to prevent anyone from knowing his relationship with Biluo Pass. It can be seen that the secret of Biluo Pass must be related to him, and there is a high probability that there is a person who killed him.
The essential.
Perhaps it was for this reason that the Ming Ancestor asked eight tribes to guard Biluo Pass and not let any monks get close.
Zhang Ruochen saw the Xuding and the "White Stone Attunement Diagram" at Haishi Xingwu, and guessed that Biluo Pass was the weakness that Mingzu had been hiding. Therefore, no matter what, he had to come to Biluo Pass to unlock the secret.
.
Otherwise, who can defeat Ming Ancestor based only on his combat power?
Even if Mingzu is defeated, who can kill Mingzu?
At that time, the great Lord Fudo Mingwang invited several shaman ancestors to help, but they were unable to do it.
Zhang Ruochen asked: "Senior, why do you have to hide it from Ming Ancestor at all costs and enter Biluo Pass? What is inside the pass?"
yes!
Everything Ksitigarbha did seemed to be to enter Biluo Pass.
Shang Tian knew that the interior of the pass was an absolutely forbidden area, and even the leaders of the eight subordinate tribes could not go deep into it.
It seemed that King Ksitigarbha had previously broken into Biluo Pass, so he alerted the Ancestor of the Underworld who was far away in the starry sky.
The eyes of the monks present all fell on Ksitigarbha.
Ksitigarbha's eyes were extremely vast, looking at the gray sea and falling into reminiscence.
After a long time, his eyes gradually changed from bitterness to relief, and he said: "It all started in the year when Weiyang got married! The Sixth Patriarch went to the marriage of Weiyang and Brahma that year, but I was not able to go there."
Ksitigarbha tells the past with the Sixth Patriarch, Meng Weiyang, in more detail than the story told by Baozhu Ksitigarbha, and also tells the story of the friendship between the three.
"The battle with the Sixth Patriarch went all the way to the end of the earth, and I was defeated to the end of the earth. It wasn't until I completely lost my strength that the Sixth Patriarch told me a shocking secret that would last forever."
Even Zhang Ruochen pricked up his ears, knowing that what Ksitigarbha was going to tell next was probably the secret that the ancestors in history had been pursuing.
King Ksitigarbha said: "The Sixth Patriarch said that on the day of their wedding, he sent Weiyang to the Gray Sea, and a voice rang in his mind, guiding him to Biluo Pass."
"After entering Biluo Pass, he arrived at a magical world with only two rules: life and death. He called that world the world of life and death."
coming!
The world of life and death!
The old man of life and death forged the "Book of Life and Death" at Biluo Pass, the Ming Ancestor forged the "Life and Death Lamp" at Biluo Pass, and the Fudo Ming King found the "Pig Iron of Creation" and the "Dead Iron of Creation" in Biluo Pass.
This is the raw material for forging the Shen Yuan Divine Sword and the Blood Sword.
Everything is related to the two powers of life and death. Will the secret be solved now?
King Ksitigarbha said: "The Sixth Patriarch saw a person, or a consciousness, in the world of life and death. Because the Sixth Patriarch said that he could not remember the person's figure and appearance at all, and his memory was blurry."
"That consciousness claims to be the Brahma Heart of the Underworld Ancestor."
Zhang Ruochen was slightly shocked and asked, "What does Mingzu's Brahma Heart mean?"
After careful consideration, Ksitigarbha said: "The other party did not tell the Sixth Patriarch what the Brahma Heart is. He only said that the Brahma Heart is a Buddha's heart, which is the part of life and death. It represents the kindness and compassion of the Patriarch.
The heart, the heart for life, is also the only weakness of Mingzu."
"Only by cutting off his Brahma heart, Mingzu can use the Santu River to harvest the longevity, life, and souls of all living beings in the universe, so that they can be immortal and live forever."
"The Brahma Heart represents fetters, flaws, and weaknesses."
"Just like the sword ancestors of the past, they had to leave behind their sword courage and soul in order to escape and survive. The courageous sword ancestors could only fight or die."
"The ancestors of the underworld who have the heart of Brahma cannot do whatever they want, and naturally they cannot live forever."
"The Ming Ancestor cannot kill Brahma Heart, so naturally he can only seal him in the world of life and death in Biluo Pass, not letting anyone know the existence of Brahma Heart, and let the eight tribes guard Biluo Pass and designate the pass as a forbidden area."
Zhang Ruochen was inexplicably shocked and thought to himself: "Is this why Ming Ancestor hid his connection with Biluo Pass? Is this why Ming Ancestor always wanted to destroy the "White Stone Attunement Diagram"?"
Ksitigarbha continued: "In these years, the poor monk has been studying ancient books, collecting texts from all over the world, and found that there is indeed some extraordinary connection between Hades and Kassapa Buddha."
"Whether or not Mingzu is the dharma body of Buddha Kasyapa, he must be closely related to Buddhism and must have practiced Buddhism."
"Ancestor of the Underworld, his name is Sixteenth Day."
"On the sixteenth day, the moon is gone and the underworld is born. In other words, he is called the underworld ancestor only after the sixteenth day. What about before the sixteenth day?"
The Fourth Confucian Patriarch was moved and said: "The founder believes that the Brahma Heart is the first fifteen days?"
King Ksitigarbha nodded slightly and said: "Brahma Heart told the Sixth Patriarch that the Entropy Yao is coming, and the calamity has come. The Sixth Patriarch was a creature that he could see at that time, and had the potential of the ancestor, and might be able to cope with the calamity."
"Brahma Xin said that before Engyao, everything was determined. If you reach the level of the ancestors, you can deduce everything. You can know the roughness of major events and be vigilant about life and death."
"After the Entropy Yao, everything changed. Even the Ancestor of the Underworld could only take one step at a time in the chaos of heaven."
"He asked the Sixth Patriarch, before Engyao Yao, to keep a low profile, walk at night in brocade clothes, and hide the truth from the First Ancestor, in order to survive. After Entropy Yao, go to Biluo Pass to see Him. Otherwise, you will definitely die violently!"
"The Sixth Patriarch heard the mystery in Brahma Xin's words and knew that he must have a great calamity before Engyao. Otherwise, why would he give instructions?"
"The Sixth Patriarch knows himself too well! He is by no means a person who refuses to save anyone. How can he still hide his strength and bide his time when the world is falling apart?"
In Ksitigarbha's mind, the Sixth Patriarch was smiling. The Sixth Patriarch laughed and said, "I am destined to die, so you will do the work of keeping a low profile and biding your time, and you will help me go to the Brahma Heart's appointment with Engyao?"
You have the demonic nature of the Fifth Patriarch. You can observe life and death and become calm. If you come to cope with the calamity and save people from suffering, the whole world will be left to you!"
…
"Rescue the suffering? The common people in the world? Do you want to speak louder? Do you really think that you are a Buddha? I will go to the Gray Sea now. I must see Weiyang. You'd better live well by yourself and live until Entropy Yao comes.
"
…
The Sixth Patriarch said: "You have lost! Have you forgotten that before we fought, you promised that if you lose to me, you will never leave the wasteland?"
"The one who promised you was the past me who was blinded by anger, not the present me. If you want to fulfill your bet, go to the past me. The present me doesn't recognize it!" King Ksitigarbha said.
The Sixth Patriarch said: "What if I say, this is what Meng Weiyang meant?"
"What do you mean?"
Ksitigarbha stopped.
The Sixth Patriarch chased after him and said earnestly: "Do you think I would not communicate with her first about such a big matter? What she meant was that between mutual support and life and death, there is only one choice... She wants you to live, for
More people are alive! To be honest, you are far behind her in matters of right and wrong, decisiveness and courage."
The Sixth Patriarch continued to mutter: "I'm actually a little unhappy. She wants you to live, which means she wants me to die. I think she and I knew each other first. In terms of friendship, she and I have a deeper relationship.
.But women, once they fall in love, they don’t care whether their friends live or die!”
King Ksitigarbha asked: "Since there are as many masters as there are in Gray Sea, and Mingzu is omnipotent, how can you enter Biluo Pass? Mingzu didn't kill you?"
In my memory, Ksitigarbha asked this question to the Sixth Patriarch.
In reality, Zhang Ruochen also asked the same question.
King Ksitigarbha said: "It was the Brahma Heart that concealed the secrets of heaven and the powerful people who followed the eight tribes. Therefore, the Sixth Patriarch was able to freely enter and exit the Gray Sea and Biluo Pass. When the Sixth Patriarch woke up from the Biluo Pass, Brahma Heart fell into
He was sleeping deeply and told the Sixth Patriarch to leave quickly."
"The Sixth Patriarch fell asleep in Biluo Pass?" Baozhu Jizo was surprised.
Shang Tiandao: "So, the Sixth Patriarch didn't know whether he had entered Biluo Pass when he was young. Maybe it was just a dream?"
Suddenly, Haotian said: "I know! I know why the Sixth Patriarch could see Brahma Heart at that time!"
The Fourth Confucian Patriarch thought thoughtfully and said: "At that time, it should be after the Great War between the First Ancestors. The Underworld Ancestor was severely injured by the Great Master and the shaman ancestors, and was sent to the future, not in time and space. Since the Underworld Ancestor is not here, the world of life and death
The seal naturally loosened, giving Brahma the opportunity to meet the Sixth Patriarch."
Huang Tian said: "Without the Brahma Heart to cover up the heavenly secrets, going to the Gray Sea with the cultivation level of my senior at that time would undoubtedly be a dead end. The Sixth Patriarch was right!"
Zhang Ruochen thought of something, his heart moved, and he asked: "Didn't the Sixth Patriarch tell Meng Weiyang all this?"
"Of course I told you!" Ksitigarbha said.
Zhang Ruochen said: "So, it's Meng Weiyang who doesn't let you go to the Gray Sea?"
Ksitigarbha stared at Zhang Ruochen carefully, and heard a voice transmission from the giant beast in the distance. His eyes shone brightly, his expression became wonderful, and he smiled: "My little friend is really smart, I guessed all this!"
Little friend?
Ksitigarbha is so sure that he is younger than him?
"Did Ksitigarbha know my identity? It shouldn't be!" Zhang Ruochen frowned slightly.
Several people around were shocked by Ksitigarbha and Zhang Ruochen's words.
"Master, you said it was Meng Weiyang who didn't let you go to the Gray Sea back then?" Baozhu Jizo said.
Ksitigarbha nodded again.
"No wonder I talked so much at Qingshan Inn and she was indifferent." Baozhu Jizo said to himself.
The confusion in Haotian's heart was also solved, and he said: "With her high mental strength, she can't kill anyone. It turns out that the root cause is here."
Shang Tiandao: "It's not that we didn't kill one person, at least we killed the traitor Yuan Qiu."
The Fourth Confucian Patriarch laughed loudly: "Heaven and Earth have been facing each other for more than a million years. One refused to cross the sea of grey, the other refused to leave the wilderness, one surrendered to the Ming Ancestor, and the other kept a low profile. Interesting, very interesting! No wonder
You can break through the ancestors because your state of mind has no flaws at all, only infinite thoughts and expectations. This is a kind of motivation!"
Huang Tian said: "Is it really interesting? I only feel boundless pain. If there is no help, who would want to live forever without seeing each other?"
Zhang Ruochen sighed in his heart and lamented that fate has tricked people. At the same time, the figure of Ji Fanxin appeared in his mind. Is she the Brahma heart mentioned by the Sixth Patriarch?
Zhang Ruochen asked: "Has the ancestor entered the realm of life and death?"
Ksitigarbha nodded.
"Have you seen the Brahma Heart?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
Ksitigarbha closed his eyes and shook his head: "In the realm of life and death, there is no Brahma mind and Buddha energy, only the flames of death."
Everyone's smiles disappeared, and the atmosphere sank to freezing point.
"So, the Sixth Patriarch was deceived? The so-called Brahma Heart does not exist at all?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
In the gray mist in the distance, Gandharva's voice came: "No, Brahma Heart did not deceive the Sixth Patriarch! At the end of the Middle Ages, the Underworld Patriarch launched a small calamity that lasted for three months, but was defeated by the gods. He escaped seriously injured. Returning to the Sea of Ashes, he wants to enter the world of life and death to absorb the power of Brahma Heart and return to his peak. But at this time, He is no match for Brahma Heart!"
"Brahma Heart found the best opportunity to escape, so he suppressed the Underworld Ancestor and sealed it in the realm of life and death. Brahma Heart met me once when he left the Gray Sea."
"Until the entropy flare broke out, the Ming Ancestor finally escaped from the trap."
The figure of Gandharva is blurred, standing under the giant beast mounted by Ksitigarbha, raising his palm and gently stroking the beard of the giant beast.
The giant beast was as docile as a tabby cat, slowly lying on the ground.
Just like its owner, it has been waiting for this day for a long time.
