Chapter 1,297: Eating the flesh of a pilgrim will lead to immortality?
"Why am I so weak?"
Kui Mulang was moving around in the ravine, looking cool and carefree, but in fact he was frowning.
When the Heavenly Court conquered the Huaguo Mountain, it was King Li Tian and Prince Nezha who ordered the twenty-eight constellations, the nine obsidian star officials, the twelve yuan chen, the five directions, the four levels of merit, the east and west stars, the two gods of the north and south, the five mountains and four mountains, and the whole sky.
According to the stars, there are a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers.
In the heavenly army, every one of them is a god with a name. They are by no means comparable to a bunch of soldiers, and even each one of them is not weak when taken alone.
As a member of the Twenty-Eight Constellations, the First Constellation of White Tiger in the West, Kuimulang's magic power is ranked among the gods. Otherwise, when the lower realm is a demon, he would not have an overwhelming advantage over Bajie and Sha Monk.
The other party even had a group of guardian Jialan secretly helping him.
But now, the magic power in the body is empty, and the exquisite inner elixir that was once deceived by a monkey but restored again has shrunk to the size of a grain of rice.
Is it a change in the environment of heaven and earth?
Boom!
Kui Mulang meditated hard and found that his mind was obscured by fog, and he couldn't remember many things. As he was feeling anxious, a sound came from under his feet.
He immediately looked down.
Huazhou is full of broken walls and collapsed buildings, and the cracks and ravines in the ground are bottomless. In addition, Kuimulang did not ride on the clouds and jumped directly on top, which naturally caused more serious collapses and rocks rustling.
And down, sliding towards the ground.
"What is there underground that you dare to spy on?"
Although Kui Mulang lost most of his mana, his realm was still there, and he was extremely sensitive to the fluctuations of vitality. He immediately noticed something strange. There was actually a gaze spying on him from the deep pit, and he immediately yelled.
The trace of that gaze was broken, and he seemed to be a little panicked, but soon became violent again, the ground shook faintly, and the ravine opened, showing a provocation.
"presumptuous!"
Kuimulang was furious and flew in without hesitation.
The ground soon undulated and trembled violently, just like the waves of the sea in a storm. The scope of the cracks spread rapidly, and flying rocks and debris continued to explode.
Vaguely, there seemed to be an evil dragon snaking in the earth, fighting with the star official. However, compared to the flesh-and-blood dragons of the Four Seas, the evil dragon was made entirely of stones, which was extremely strange.
"When did such monsters appear in the Dragon Clan?"
The ground broke open, and Kui Mulang suddenly flew out, soared into the sky, and looked down. He was amazed, but he sneered: "Even the Dragon King of the Four Seas doesn't dare to stand up in front of me. A mere earth dragon is not worthy of being so arrogant."
!”
After that, it went straight down and broke into the ground again.
This time I came prepared, and my momentum was different again. There was a towering giant tree rising faintly, and the rich wood energy burst out. The earth dragon was chopped into several pieces by Kuimu Lang in a moment. He wanted to absorb the earth energy to recover, but was killed first.
Take root in the ground and exercise restraint.
The Earth Spirit was born from an earthquake and is violent by nature, but after all, he has not woken up for a long time. With only one instinct, how can he compete with Kui Mulang, a star official whose five elements are in conflict with each other? Seeing this scene, he finally felt panic.
Suddenly it went back underground and disappeared.
"What kind of monster is this? He's so weird... Hey! The aura of this place!"
Kuimulang first thought about the origin of the other party, but after being puzzled, he was surprised to find that the vitality of heaven and earth underground was much richer than that of the outside world, and it actually had the effect of a cave of heaven and a blessed earth.
The magic power of this Western star was already exhausted, so he occupied this place without hesitation and used it as his own cave. Then he skillfully exuded billowing demonic energy, spreading in all directions, and laughed wildly:
"Your grandpa in yellow robe is back again!"
…
"good!"
Above the clouds, King Kong and Qixing watched the whole process, with the corners of their mouths raised, quite pleased.
Kuimulang's lower realm really came in handy. Not only did he once again play the role of a roadblocking demon, he also defeated the earth spirit's arrogance, which was beneficial to the subsequent arrangements.
The key is to guide the thoughts of the stars and use the layout of the gods to prove that they are already qualified rulers.
The sense of accomplishment with such an inverted status is really unparalleled.
King Kong even had a sudden thought and looked deep into the ground: "Since this earth spirit can become an earth dragon, why not turn into a horse to carry Buddhist scripture collectors on their way, so that they can quickly travel to the four continents and spread the mighty virtue of our clan to all directions!"
Qixing raised his eyebrows slightly: "Earth Dragon Horse? Is it willing?"
King Kong snorted: "This is a major event that concerns the whole clan. How can we just act on our temper?"
Qixing said: "It's just that this earth spirit is hiding in the center of the earth, like a frightened bird. I'm afraid it will be difficult to come out..."
In the past, Sha Monk hid in the Liusha River, leaving Wukong and Bajie helpless. In the end, Mu Zha came forward and brought the words of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Now Earth Spirit, as a spiritual being born from this land, has an unparalleled geographical advantage.
.
King Kong smiled and said: "It is really troublesome if it really wants to hide blindly, but this clan spirit is very arrogant. Kuimulang directly opened a cave here, how can it hold back? When the two of them fight, I can directly
Take it, don't worry if it doesn't behave like a horse!"
When it comes to the power of magic weapons, Vajra is rarely matched in the three realms, but Qixing has other concerns: "It is not appropriate to force him like this. It is better to practice the Buddhist method of salvation and convince the earth spirits."
King Kong nodded: "Security and herbal medicine are defeated first, and we are asking for help everywhere. I will come forward to enlighten you later. This will show the twists and turns of learning the scriptures and the difficulty, so we will do it!"
…
"Earth dragon and horse? It's quite imaginative..."
"Keep up the good work and the deeper the participation, the more and more Eldar people will gather in this feast."
Seeing that the Spirit Tribe was becoming more and more proficient, Li Yan retracted his thoughts with joy and devoted all his energy to the investigation of Zhen Yuanzi Yuanshen.
Nowadays, although the spirit tribe has been recruited to build the Zhenwu Holy Land, the momentum is getting bigger and bigger, but in the environment of the changes in the three realms, it is still difficult to support it alone. Wukong, Zhen Yuanzi, even Guanyin, and Ksitigarbha are all important helping hands.
Since I unexpectedly retrieved the physical body of Zhen Yuanzi from the Peach Garden, I naturally wanted to try to get in touch with the soul.
This time, he also used his cultivation with all his strength. Li Yan's eyes were pure and flawless, as clear inside and outside as the purest crystal, without any trace of filth or confusion.
From this perspective, the world is transparent.
All apparent matter has been diluted, and even spiritual power, vitality and other energies have been deconstructed, leaving only "strings" that are constantly vibrating.
That is the thread of cause and effect in Buddhism, and the origin of heaven and earth.
Teachers in the Water Margin world can visualize the Dharma Body of the Vajra Indestructible Buddha and see the threads of cause and effect, but that is the most rudimentary method. They don’t know the cause, they know what it is but they don’t know why it is.
Now, with a cultivation level that is infinitely close to the eighth consciousness, Li Yan can really get into it, as if he is enjoying a grand piece of music being played. He understands every string of cause and effect, and can even follow them to intersect with each other and constantly change.
, running through all directions and eight extremes, throughout the ages.
The movement of cause and effect is regular, beautiful, and positive, while the movement composed by the origin of the three realms is radical and turbulent.
It is more like a piece of music composed for the long river of time. It seems calm, but in fact it is constantly changing. All living things are just insignificant droplets of water and can only drift with the flow. Only a strong core can maintain it in the long river of time.
relatively independent.
For example, the Jade Emperor's status.
For example, Taozu's detachment.
Such as the bliss of Buddha.
This is also the ultimate goal pursued by practitioners...
Climb to the other side!
But from Li Yan's current observations, the current movement of the Three Realms does not have the kind of existence that emits independent fluctuations.
Of course, they may also hide and no longer show their power unscrupulously. At this time, they can only look for clues and explore carefully.
Before Zhen Yuanzi appeared, Li Yan had done this kind of exploration. At that time, he had no results. Now he tries it again and regards it as a mysterious experience and practice.
Gradually, he fell into a special frequency, and a road that had been traveled by his predecessors seemed to appear under his feet, leading straight to the depths of the long river of time.
"This is the path Zhen Yuanzi once walked..."
"So it turns out that he has intertwined himself with the threads of cause and effect of all the immortals on earth. The gods, humans and ghosts of heaven and earth, one of the five immortals, is his ancestor. He is a powerful existence standing in the sea of origin."
"Although he is slightly inferior to the Jade Emperor, Taoist Patriarch, and Buddha, there is really no one in the Three Realms who can completely surpass him."
Thanks to Zhen Yuanzi's physical body, the principles of spiritual practice were quickly solved.
Li Yan learned from it and gained a lot, and he also gained a deeper understanding of the great aspirations of Buddhism.
In a sense, the method of ambition is actually the same principle. It uses great ambition to increase its own weight, helping it to stand in the sea of origin, the long river of time, and become an independent existence.
The goal of that ambition is one's own foundation. For example, Ksitigarbha's hell is not empty and he vows not to become a Buddha. This makes him inextricably involved with the souls of the underworld, so he can legitimately become the Lord of the Netherworld, but he has basically stopped.
That’s it.
In comparison, Avalokitesvara has greater potential. Among Buddhists, the one who can match the power of Buddha is the great benevolent and compassionate Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.
After some thought, Li Yan gathered his thoughts and did not go directly along the shortcut to Zhen Yuanzi.
Although he is trying to find out where Zhen Yuanzi's soul is this time, he will not deviate at all on the key path. Any powerful person will not blindly learn the methods of his predecessors, but must go out of his own way.
road.
Having determined this goal, Li Yan's golden elixir and mind gradually turned into a wonderful string of cause and effect, one end connected to infinity, and the other end interacting with the torrent of the three realms.
It not only belongs to the Three Realms, but also transcends the Three Realms.
This is the pattern of an outsider. From the beginning, he is not limited to this. It may be more difficult, but it is undoubtedly the most suitable path for him.
With this state of mind, looking at the long river of time composed of the strings of cause and effect, the endless timelines begin to differentiate, but after exhausting all possibilities, they cancel each other out and point in the exact direction.
Li Yan's eyesight rose, and he had a clear view of the three realms.
Silent heaven.
The undercurrent of the human world.
Returning to the underworld of order for the first time.
He even saw Dongsheng Shenzhou wrapped in layers of mist. Where the original Huaguo Mountain was, there stood a majestic temple, with the sound of Zen chanting coming from it, and there seemed to be Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and eight hundred Arhats sitting in it.
That is the Great Leiyin Temple, which also gave birth to the weapon spirit, Leiyin, the culprit of the Great Vision Realm who silently guides the world behind the scenes!
It was not the goal of this trip. Li Yan only observed for a moment, then withdrew his causal investigation and continued to trace the whereabouts of Zhen Yuanzi with all his strength.
"strangeness……"
But what surprised him was that there was no trace of Zhen Yuanzi. The string of cause and effect he traced went around the three realms, but there was no trace.
Li Yan even felt that his soul was no longer in the Three Realms, but it would not be right to say that it had gone outside the realm.
"Holy King! Holy King!"
At this moment, a call came.
Li Yankong's clear and pure eyes recovered, and he looked at Qixing standing not far away.
As soon as he thought about it, he realized that the exploration and practice he had just done corresponded to the outside world, and it had been more than a month.
Under normal circumstances, Hai Rui's troubles in Huazhou would have ended and he would have embarked on a new journey.
But Qixing's interruption and the worry between his brows clearly indicated that something unexpected had happened: "What happened?"
Qixing showed a look of shame: "We wanted to surrender the earth dragon to serve as the mount for the Buddhist pilgrims, but unexpectedly the Kuimu wolf was cunning and did not follow common sense. He secretly deceived the earth spirit and ate the flesh of the Buddhist pilgrims, so that he could live forever..."
Li Yan raised his eyebrows.
This is really the style of the yellow-robed monster. Not only does this monster have powerful magic power, it beats Monk Bajie and makes Monk Bajie cry out in agony. It also turns Monk Tang into a tiger spirit. If it weren't for the protection of the Dharma Protector accompanying him all the way, the generals of Baoxiang Kingdom would have swarmed him.
, and ended Tang Seng.
Turning the demon subduer into a goblin shows Kui Mulang's methods, but does anyone still believe that Tang Monk's meat will lead to immortality? Even if it is true, what is the use of eating it by the spiritual people?
In fact, the monsters in the early stage, except for the white-bone spirit with no background, did not covet Tang Monk's meat. Kui Mulang never thought of eating Tang Monk. Until the beginning of Golden Horn and Silver Horn, the monsters kidnapped Tang Monk just to eat meat.
Or the female demon robbed her of sex for the tenth life of Yuanyang.
The latter is fine, but the former is actually a lot far-fetched. For example, immortal species like the Golden-winged Dapeng Eagle also want to eat meat to live forever. For this reason, it seems weird to involve green lions and white elephants.
What's more, after all, Tang Monk is the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi and a good man who has practiced cultivation for ten generations. Everyone knows this. Hai Rui is an ordinary person. He can live forever after eating his meat. It's too far-fetched...
Li Yan asked: "The earth spirit believed this and now wants to eat Hai Rui's flesh?"
Qixing whispered: "The earth spirit is still immature and does not know the truth from the false. However, after Hai Rui discovered that the earth spirit can cause aftershocks, he took the initiative to communicate with him and was willing to cut his flesh to protect the victims..."
Li Yan said: "Just like the Buddha cutting meat to feed the eagle to arouse the bodhicitta, but the clan spirit is not limited to the sentient beings in the three realms. Among Pangu's creations, his idea is destined to fail."
Qixing nodded repeatedly: "This person is of great use. We can't let the earth spirit eat him. King Kong came forward to collect the earth dragon that manifested outside, but Kui Mulang took advantage of the chaos and kidnapped Hai Rui..."
Li Yan knew beforehand and checked later, and with a thought, he knew that Hai Rui's life was not in danger. Just like Tang Seng in the past, he had a near miss.
But unlike Tang Seng who fell into the demon's lair many times without losing a piece of flesh on his body, Kui Mulang did something this time.
And this incident also made Qixing look full of confusion and fear: "For some reason, Kuimulang ate the meat cut off by Hai Rui, and then he...he died!"
