Xu Yin watched the death process of Zhizhi from beginning to end.
He was still thinking about whether he could kill a corpse, but in fact he was overthinking it.
The soul of a wise corpse is still strong, and it is foreseeable that after reincarnation, his strength in this life will increase with age, and he will gradually become the same as in his previous life even if he does not practice.
This should be a gift from Jin Chan. Jin Chan's body has endless power, but Zhizhi has not discovered the method of digging it out yet. Once it is dug out again, there will be no bottlenecks in his journey from mortal to immortal.
In fact, the moment Jiang Liuer died, Jin Chanzi took Zhishi's spirit and threw him directly to a family in the Middle Earth, and it was in Chang'an.
At this time, Chang'an City already knew that the Buddhist scripture collection team had been wiped out. The civil servants and officials who did not believe in Confucianism and Buddhism immediately asked the emperor and others in the court what the significance of this Buddhist scripture search from the West was.
Shaolin masters and Buddhist and Taoist people refuted it one after another, and the two sides were in a stalemate.
The emperor had his own plans, and together with the prime minister, he openly vetoed the study of Buddhist scriptures from the West and issued an imperial edict stating that he would not continue to pursue this matter in the future.
In the court, it was extremely unhappy because of the last demon-slaying battle. The Buddhist and Taoist sects even attempted to change the dynasty, but they were suppressed by the royal family and the demonic sect.
Nowadays, Buddhism and Taoism are extremely dissatisfied. The imperial master no longer stays in Chang'an and returns to Shaolin. The major folk Dharma assemblies have begun to go their own way and violate the imperial decrees.
Due to the prosperity of Buddhism and Taoism, a large amount of private land was occupied by them. The two families of Buddhism and Taoism paid homage to the court, which naturally led to a sharp decrease in the tax revenue of the court.
At the same time, foreign enemies continued to invade the border, exacerbating the situation between North Korea and China.
So much so that the emperor had the idea of destroying Buddhism several times and began to secretly plan it. However, this move was accidentally reported to the leaders of the two major sects of Buddhism and Taoism by the emperor's most trusted eunuch, which triggered a crisis that shook the country.
crisis.
But that was twenty years later.
Now, Xu Lan took the Supreme Treasure across the void and almost exhausted himself before reaching Xiniu Hezhou.
There are few people in Xiniuhezhou, and the most densely populated area is near Shituoling at the foot of Linshan Mountain.
But the humans there are called dishmen, which are food raised by the demon clan, and are not treated as intelligent beings at all.
In other places, human villages are scattered in the deep mountains and old forests, and the people are fierce and martial.
After all, Buddha does not bless humans in Xiniu Hezhou. Since the demon race is the main race, humans as a minority race can only protect themselves desperately.
Therefore, many excellent martial arts or magic arts that are considered untold secrets in Nanzhan Continent are widely circulated here.
Every human village must be protected by warriors who have crossed the realm of the void or above, otherwise it will not be able to survive the attacks of the scattered demon clan.
And here, although there are few practicing sects, each of them is extremely powerful.
For example, the widely circulated Bodhi Patriarch of Fangcun Mountain and Zhenyuan Immortal of Wuzhuang Temple are all immortals who work hard to protect the human race.
Xu Lan and Zhizunbao went through various hardships, and finally met a disciple of Fangcun Mountain by chance, and successfully came to Fangcun Mountain under his leadership.
Patriarch Bodhi was greatly surprised when he saw two people, one coming from Nanzhan Buzhou and the other from Dongsheng Shenzhou.
Then he looked at the Supreme Treasure and said, "You said you were born from a stone?"
Zhizunbao nodded vigorously, "My disciple was indeed born from a stone monkey, but his body was crystal clear when he was born. He became like this after eating peaches given by other monkeys."
Patriarch Bodhi's mind was shaken. No one knew how excited he was at this moment. The fate he had been waiting for for countless years was finally here!
He said, "I know your origins. For the time being, you should join my sect to practice. You should work hard and diligently."
The Supreme Treasure was overjoyed and was about to celebrate when he noticed that Xu Lan on the side had not yet been admitted as a disciple, and said quickly: "Master, this brother Xu has been chivalrous and kind-hearted all the way. He admires the master's ability as much as the disciples, and hopes to worship him."
Under the master's door."
Patriarch Bodhi looked at Xu Lan, who bowed respectfully.
Now that he has become a half-human being, even if he were placed in the mortal world of Xiniu Hezhou, he is by no means mediocre. The guardians of several larger human settlements are only at this level of strength.
As for immortals, they are extremely rare even in Xiniuhezhou, and may not even be as plentiful as in Nanzhanbuzhou.
Through his own spiritual sense, Xu Lan has been able to perceive Patriarch Bodhi's abyss-like cultivation. It is much better than the masters on the Heavenly Ranking he has come into contact with. It does not seem to be a creature of the same world. I am afraid that gods and Buddhas are not the same.
However, because of this, I admire him in my heart and sincerely want to become his disciple.
Various indescribable runes flashed across Patriarch Bodhi's eyes, and no one knew that he was checking Xu Lan's cause and effect at this moment.
He was slightly shocked when he saw that Xu Lan's body had different karma.
This person is not the person he is waiting for, but he seems to be protected by a powerful person outside the three realms. He is separated from the world by cause and effect and is not controlled by gods and Buddhas.
"You...Xu Lan, tell me all your origins in detail, without hiding anything!"
Xu Lan was surprised and didn't know why the other party asked such a question. He hesitated for a long time and finally decided to tell the truth. Except for the matter of receiving the teaching in the dream, all other matters, no matter how big or small, were told to Patriarch Bodhi.
After hearing this, Patriarch Bodhi stroked his beard and frowned, "I can still feel that you seem to be hiding something, but that's not important. Since you come from a family of officials in the Tang Dynasty in China, I can accept you as my disciple."
Xu Lan was extremely pleasantly surprised. He thought he was going to be unlucky after hearing the first half of the sentence. Unexpectedly, he successfully entered and celebrated with the Supreme Treasure.
Patriarch Bodhi looked at Xu Lan. In fact, he didn't take Xu Lan's narration to heart. Although he said he didn't care about Xu Lan's hidden part, in fact, he happened to be very concerned about it.
However, Xu Lan did not feel the danger brought by the law of cause and effect from what he said, and there was even a certain degree of help, so he decided to accept him as his disciple.
But he is more concerned about the secret behind Xu Lan. He believes that there must be someone behind Xu Lan who will bring about a certain degree of change in this desperate world.
"Supreme Treasure, who gave you this name?" Patriarch Bodhi suddenly asked.
Zhizunbao quickly told Liu Menghan's story.
Patriarch Bodhi nodded slightly and said: "How can you call yourself the Supreme Being before you have achieved the Tao and Fruition? From now on, you should not be called by this name."
"Master, please give me a name."
Patriarch Bodhi remembered a hexagram he calculated thousands of years ago. A name appeared in the hexagram, which had great cause and effect.
So he said: "From now on, your name is Sun Wukong."
Suddenly, the originally sunny and peaceful world suddenly became dark, thunderous, and extremely depressing.
Patriarch Bodhi's eyes were like lightning and he looked towards the north.
The horned dragons danced wildly there, but they were struck to death by countless thunder and lightning, and no less than a hundred of them fell into the sea of karma.
On the Lingshan Mountain, thousands of Buddhas were shocked.
Because the horned dragons killed by the thunder were all dragons raised by Buddhism, no one knew why they suddenly died suddenly.
The Buddha is high above, the Sanskrit sounds are rippling out, the thunder clouds in the sky dissipate, and everything returns to normal.
The Buddha looked solemn and said: "The devil... has been born!"
The devil naturally refers to Sun Wukong. Just the cause and effect hidden in this name will change the color of the world. If in the future...
Patriarch Bodhi nodded slightly. He knew that the struggle with gods and Buddhas would begin a new chapter in the near future.
High in the sky, Xu Yin watched this scene carefully, and said with amazement: "I actually worshiped Patriarch Bodhi as my teacher. Ancient sword, what kind of realm does Patriarch Bodhi belong to?"
The Ancient Bronze Swordsman said: "This is just a ray of divine thought from his true body. Even though it is just a ray of divine thought, it still has the power of approaching a god. If the true body is projected, even the Twelve Golden Immortals and the Buddha will have to retreat.
"
"This... is really amazing. It seems that I can learn a lot from him through Shan Zhi."
"That will indeed help you improve your cultivation level quickly, and the cause and effect of this person is huge. If you use it properly, the divine sword you practice will be completed faster. It would take thousands of years of practice to become an immortal, or you can expect it within a hundred years.
