Yi Bingshui couldn't help being dumbfounded. She looked at Liu Juan. Liu Juan shook his head slightly and followed the queue.
Yi Bingshui had no choice but to follow him. She thought to herself: What kind of medicine is this Bliss Pill? No matter how it is, it is definitely not a good medicine and must not be taken. So she had to pretend to eat it for a while.
Yi Bingshui walked along the line, took the pills, and pretended to get water to take the pills.
As soon as the water was brought to his mouth, he suddenly heard Liu Juan whisper: "The water is poisonous, so you can't drink it."
Yi Bingshui was startled, and secretly screamed in her heart that it was dangerous.
The Maitreya Sect's way of holding meetings seems to be very loosely organized, and it is very easy to sneak in people with ulterior motives. In fact, this is not the case. This gift of medicine is probably just to prevent outsiders from sneaking in.
Even if an outsider sneaks in, most people will only notice that there is something weird about the medicine. Who would think that even the water is weird? If you just deliberately don't take the medicine, but you can't avoid the medicine in the water, it is really hard to guard against. If you are not a sad scholar
Liu Juan reminded that he almost got caught.
This conference seemed casual, but it turned out to contain a lot of scheming. I couldn't help but be very cautious.
I was feeling uneasy, and suddenly I felt something strange around me.
Yi Bingshui looked up and saw that all the believers had inexplicably strange expressions on their faces, with strange smiles on their faces and a faint green light emitting from their eyes, which was eerie in the darkness.
Suddenly, a burst of music came, which was extremely melodious. The believers sat on the ground, and their upper bodies began to sway gently involuntarily to the music. The swaying was continuous and ups and downs, more orderly than an army, just like a breeze blowing through a wheat field.
, long waves of wheat, rolling ripples, smooth and harmonious.
Looking at the black-faced men, they were also swaying with the "wind". Of course, Yi Bingshui did not dare to lag behind, and followed the sad scholar and swayed with the crowd.
Yi Bingshui was secretly pleased with herself.
Suddenly, there was a loud roar in the air, like thunder on the ground, which made people tremble uncontrollably.
"Take it down!" Another blast of thunder fell from the sky. This time Yi Bingshui finally heard clearly that it was coming from the Protector Heavenly King on the high platform.
This is when Yi Bingshui discovered that the Protector King turned out to be the monster Raus, but he still didn't know what changed into this monster. It seemed that Raus was already a golden demon level monster.
But seeing a sudden commotion in the northwest, a dozen people quickly jumped up and rushed to the outside.
He rushed to the outside, but was blocked by a wall.
This wall is nothing but a human wall. A human wall of black-faced men.
Although the wall was a human wall, it was very strange. The people who rushed out raised their knives and slashed at them, but it was as if they were hitting a copper wall and an iron wall. There was a clanking sound, but all the black-faced men were unscathed.
"My Buddha protects your body and makes you invulnerable."
The black-faced man who had been chopped stopped swaying, put his hands together, and chanted in unison.
He actually turned a blind eye to the opponent's weapon, and suddenly his hands became like iron claws, grabbing at the opponent's throat.
Those who rushed out were suddenly caught by iron claws, their eyes bulged out, as if they were seeing ghosts, and the horror in their eyes was still there, but when they heard "click"
When he raised his voice, his neck was broken by these black-faced men.
More than a dozen people lay dead at their feet in just an instant, and they woke up with blood and blood.
However, at the same time, the melodious "immortal music" did not stop. Except for the few black-faced men who were chopped by the people who rushed out, everyone else was the same, and the waves of wheat from the believers did not stop either.
The commotion of several people seemed to turn a blind eye.
Yi Bingshui was shocked. After a while, she realized that her arm was being pulled by Liu Juan at some point, and her body swayed with the music, never stopping for a moment.
Only then did I understand that these believers had entered a psychedelic state because of taking pills. The melodious music was actually giving instructions to the believers.
These people couldn't hear the thunderous shout just now. Only people who didn't take medicine would be frightened, so their movements would inevitably become uncoordinated.
The Protector King stood on the high platform and could naturally see it very clearly. So the dozen or so spies who had sneaked in were recognized at once...
Thinking of this, Yi Bingshui couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. The Maitreya Cult's unique method of "clearing the place" was really cruel and unusual. If Liu Juan, a miserable scholar, hadn't been by her side, she would have ended up with the same fate.
I secretly looked at Long Shiba and PC Xiucai, and saw that the two of them were also swaying with the "wind", with a faint green light in their eyes. I didn't know whether they were really following the Tao or pretending.
The fairy music suddenly turned low, and the believers stopped swaying and looked up at the high platform.
But I heard a voice: "I came from the west just because I have two things to convey to the world..."
The person who spoke was none other than the "Our Lady of the West." The voice was like the sound of fairy music. Although it came down from the high platform, it seemed to come from all directions. When it entered the ears, it was as sweet as drinking nectar.
Although Yi Bingshui had never taken medicine, she still felt extremely wonderful, like a spring breeze, and couldn't help but listen attentively.
"The first thing is that the Holy Lord has passed away and been reborn in bliss. Please allow me, Buddha Maitreya, to leave Tushita Heaven and be reborn in the human world..."
"The second thing is that when I came from the West, the Buddha told me that I had agreed to the Holy Lord's request. I, Buddha Maitreya, have descended into the human world and will save all living beings in the world..."
The conference "Maitreya's Next Life" really promotes the theory of "Maitreya's Next Life".
"As soon as Maitreya appears, all Buddhas will be destroyed, murder will be accomplished, demons will be exterminated and Buddhas will be subjugated." Are they trying to take advantage of this opportunity...?
"However, after my Buddha Maitreya was reborn, he had not yet attained the wonderful enlightenment under the Yun tree. Therefore, he did not yet know that he was Lord Maitreya. From today onwards, my disciples, Maitreya, should try their best to find the Dharma to help him early in life.
To achieve good deeds..." Our Lady of the West Heaven continued.
"Maitreya Buddha" hasn't been found yet? Yi Bingshui almost laughed.
It is very logical for these people to pretend to be gods. They do not directly set up a Maitreya Buddha for everyone to worship, but let everyone find it first. After a while, they will probably claim to have "found it", and the believers will naturally be convinced. Although it seems
It seems like there is an extra procedure, but in fact it confuses the believers even more.
All the believers had already lowered their heads to the ground and chanted the Dharma name of "Namo Maitreya Buddha" in unison, looking as if they were drunk.
The "host" who had chanted and sung the praises before asked respectfully, "May the Holy Mother please tell me if there is any token of my Buddha Maitreya that I can find?"
Our Lady of the West Heaven said: "My Buddha, Maitreya, descended into the human world with my sect's holy scriptures in his hands. As long as you find the holy scriptures, you can naturally find traces of my Buddha Maitreya..."
All the believers chanted the name of Maitreya Buddha together again and said: "I sincerely accept the decree of the Holy Mother."
What is the "holy scripture" of the Maitreya religion? Yi Bingshui suddenly had a sudden thought in her heart.
Yuan Tiangang once said that when he saw the "Dragon Flying Phoenix Sutra" being worshiped at the main altar of the Maitreya Sect, could it be that the "holy scripture" they were talking about was this scripture?
Thinking of this, Yi Bingshui suddenly shivered all over, and the book was currently in her arms.
"I am Maitreya Buddha?" Yi Bingshui was startled and almost trembled.
However, why did the master leave the scriptures to himself? Unfortunately, he could not ask him in person because he had "passed into bliss"...
"Bliss in the afterlife"?
Yi Bingshui's heart suddenly lifted up after she had just put it down. She suddenly shivered again, but this time she couldn't stop trembling.
Just now Our Lady of the West Heaven has said: "The Holy Lord has passed away and been reborn in bliss."
Could it be that the old master is the "Holy Lord"?
A series of things put together all indicate that this master is most likely the "Holy Lord".
And what is the intention of the "Holy Lord" when he left himself a "Holy Scripture"?
Moreover, why did Master Bianji say he found it? What did he find? Is it the "Maitreya Buddha" mentioned by Our Lady of the West?
…
"Holy Mother, my disciples have seen the appearance of my Buddha's sacred scriptures. I wonder if it is related to my Buddha Maitreya." Suddenly a soft voice came from the west.
Everyone followed the sound and saw that it was a woman. The woman slowly walked to the front of the stage, walked up to the first round platform, and slowly bowed down to the Holy Mother.
Although the woman was under the lamp, she nodded slightly and couldn't see her face clearly. However, Yi Bingshui knew that this woman was a fox in disguise.
"Oh? Who are you? Where did you see the Holy Scripture?" Our Lady of the West seemed slightly surprised and asked loudly.
"That man also came to participate in the Water and Land Conference, and he was present at this time. Just as the Holy Mother said, the disciple knew that he had a copy of "Dragon Flying Phoenix Dance Sutra" on him, but the disciple was not sure whether he was my Buddha Maitreya, and was about to ask the Holy Mother to decide."
The woman said softly and unhurriedly.
After listening to this, Yi Bingshui could almost feel that her heart was about to jump out of her throat. Her mouth was dry and she couldn't breathe...
"Who is it?" Our Lady of the West was even more surprised when she said this.
The woman raised her hand, drew a circle from the field, landed on a person from a distance, and said slowly: "That's the person."
Fortunately, it was not Yi Bingshui who breathed a sigh of relief.
Following the woman's gestures, I saw a very capable man. The man was not too tall, but not too short either. His face seemed to have been painted with something, which could not be seen clearly under the moonlit night.
But his eyes were extremely bright, shining shrewdly and shining brightly under the light.
The capable man walked out slowly, walked up to the lower level of the round platform, and bowed to Our Lady of the West on the high platform. He took out a book from his arms and said with great surprise: "When the moon was full last month, my disciple dreamed of something at night.
Golden monk, the golden man gave the disciple a scripture. The disciple was about to ask the golden man what he meant by this, but unexpectedly the golden man pushed the disciple violently, and the disciple felt that he fell from a high platform.
Falling into the clouds, the disciple is scared, but unexpectedly it turns out to be a dream...
However, when I woke up, I found a book with flying dragons and phoenixes in my arms. I didn’t know why. But I saw that it was our sect’s holy book, so I always carried it with me. But I didn’t know that it had something to do with my Buddha, Maitreya..."
The capable man's voice was very strange, as if it had magic power. He spoke slowly and unhurriedly. The stories he told were obviously very absurd, but they felt very real.
Although the capable man spoke modestly, the meaning behind his words was very clear: the god had given him the book in his dream, and he was the reincarnation of Maitreya.
"That golden man must be the Buddha, and it was the Buddha who taught you the book..."
"This brother fell from the clouds. It turns out that you are my Buddha Maitreya."
Many believers have knelt down and worshiped Maitreya Buddha.
However, most believers were hesitant and looked at Our Lady of the West in confusion on the high platform.
Yi Bingshui secretly laughed in her heart. As expected, these people were playing tricks and quickly found the "Maitreya Buddha".
"Who are you, who dare to confuse the public with your evil words?" Our Lady of the West Heaven said flatly.
It was a big surprise to Yang Yue. Could it be that this "Maitreya Buddha" was not made by your Holy Mother of the West? What a good show, full of ups and downs.
The voice of Our Lady of the West was still very beautiful, but it was like a slap in the face, and all the believers suddenly woke up. Even the believers who were kneeling in worship stood up one after another...
The woman from before said in surprise: "Didn't the Holy Mother just say that the holy scriptures are related to my Buddha Maitreya? This person has received the golden man's book. He must be my Lord Maitreya. There can be no mistake."
"Although he has the sacred scripture in his hand, he is definitely not my Buddha Maitreya." Our Lady of the West sneered slightly and said wonderfully, "My Buddha's sacred scripture has already made it clear that the Buddha once told me that Maitreya Buddha appears in the female body to transform sentient beings.
You all have listened to and studied our Buddha's 'Holy Scriptures', don't you know that after Maitreya Bodhisattva comes to this world, he will transform into a 'female body'?"
It turns out to be a woman, Yi Bingshui secretly thought. Of course, this capable man is not a woman, nor is he the "Maitreya Buddha" that Our Lady of the West wanted. So it turns out that Li Kai's host is also a woman.
But the capable man seemed to have an innocent look on his face, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Namo Amitabha. My disciples have never had such thoughts. I think that the god taught the disciples some other ideas..."
Before he finished speaking, the woman standing next to him suddenly said "Huh" in surprise and shouted in horror: "You...your face..."
Everyone followed the sound and found that the lean man's face had suddenly turned into a tall nose and a large bridge, and even his hair had turned into curls... It turned out to be a Buddha's head.
Suddenly smoke rose, and the Buddha grew inch by inch, and in a moment he became a tall Buddha more than ten feet tall. At the same time, Sanskrit sounds rose loudly, and Buddhist songs filled the air.
All the believers exclaimed in unison.
Rouse shouted: "You are so brave, you have transformed me into a Buddha. Go, go, go."
A ray of white light shot towards the man.
Just as the believers were exclaiming, the Buddha touched the white light of Rouse and suddenly disappeared in an instant. After a burst of smoke, he returned to his original appearance of a capable man.
The capable man looked confused, as if he didn't know what had happened. Seeing everyone looking at him, he was at a loss.
An unknown person in the congregation chanted loudly: "My Buddha Maitreya has appeared. There is no Amitabha Buddha in the world. It is my Buddha Maitreya who has appeared. This person must be the Lord Maitreya Buddha. There is no mistake..."
Following this cry, most of the believers had already knelt down and prostrated themselves, chanting the name of Maitreya Buddha. There was no objection, this capable man was Maitreya Buddha.
"Don't be fooled by him. This person is definitely not Lord Maitreya Buddha." Our Lady of the West was so shocked that she lost her usual grace and there was a trace of panic in her tone.
The woman from before said in surprise: "I think the Holy Mother made a mistake. It is said in the 'Sacred Scripture' that the goddess descends to the world and takes the body of a woman. This goddess does not necessarily refer to Lord Maitreya, or the saint in our religion.
, I can’t say for sure…”
When she said this, the woman's tone already contained a hint of victorious joy.
Only then did Yi Bingshui realize that the woman and the capable man were in the same group, and they were not arranged by Our Lady of the West. Perhaps Our Lady of the West did not expect that a conference she had carefully planned would be taken advantage of by others, and she was stunned for a moment.
Nine out of ten believers were deceived by the capable man. They knelt on the ground and chanted the name of Maitreya Buddha, thinking that the capable man was Maitreya Buddha.
The capable man lost his confusion just now, his eyes flashed brightly, and he accepted the worship of the believers.
Only then did the Holy Mother of the West wake up and sneer. She didn't know when she had a Yao Qin in her hand. She touched her fingertips and the music flowed out. The sound of the Qin changed from the melodious music of the previous fairy music. It was squeaking, shrill and harsh.
.
When they heard the sound of the piano, the believers who were kneeling in worship stood up unconsciously and looked blankly at Our Lady in the West.
The Holy Mother of the West suddenly pointed at the capable man and shouted decisively: "Take down this monster."
Following her instructions, the believers' eyes suddenly emitted a strange green light, their faces grew ferocious, and their white teeth were exposed. They were like a group of hungry ghosts, amidst the shrill sound of the piano, they all pounced on the capable man.
Yi Bingshui's heart trembled and she was horrified. Only then did she understand why Yuan Tiangang was as if he had seen a ghost when he mentioned the Maitreya Religion, and his eyes were full of fear.
Fortunately, the black-faced man outside did not look strange and stood motionless.
Yi Bingshui thought to herself that what the black-faced men just took was called "Bliss Pills". As the name suggests, they turned into monsters and were invulnerable to knife attacks. The spies just now had tried it hard. The "Bliss Pills" taken by these cult members
"I was acting like a zombie just now, but I didn't expect it to become so powerful now.
When it was so miserable, there was a sudden burst of laughter. A burst of drums was loud and deafening, covering up the sound of the Virgin Mary of the West.
Yi Bingshui looked up and saw that the big drum on the bottom of the wooden platform was being beaten by dozens of black-faced men. In addition to their red faces, these black-faced men also had red scarves wrapped on their heads. It seemed that they had been replaced at some point.
The crowd couldn't hear the sound of the piano for a while, so they immediately stopped and stood there panting loudly, swaying left and right and dancing wildly to the sound of the drums. After a while, the hungry ghosts were worn down by the drums, became exhausted, and sat down on the ground.
The sound of the drums gradually subsided. Our Lady of the West Heaven had also stopped playing the piano. The place became quiet again, with only the gasps of the believers.
The capable man's laughter sounded again: "The Holy Mother's medicinal power was broken by the disciple. Do you think the disciple is not Maitreya Buddha?" There was a strong threat in his tone.
Our Lady of the West suddenly snorted coldly: "So it's you."
"Yes, it's me," the capable man replied with a smile, his expression still elegant.
Yi Bingshui's heart stirred: "Could it be him?" No wonder for a long time, the capable man's voice sounded familiar.
"How dare you betray me?" Our Lady of the West was furious.
The capable man sneered and didn't answer.
The woman next to him burst into laughter. It seemed that everything the Holy Mother of the West said was very funny. The laughter became more and more charming and sweet.
Yi Bingshui suddenly remembered a line that Rouse once sang in the palace: "The moon shines over the water and land trees, and shines on the Queen Mother of the West Mountain."
"Holy Mother, I can only blame you for being too greedy. You are originally the goddess of the Maitreya Sect in the Western Regions. Seeing the death of the 'Holy Lord' of the Maitreya Sect in the Central Plains, you tried to annex the Maitreya Sect in the Central Plains. It is really ridiculous." The fox girl had stopped.
He laughed and said in a charming voice.
"Who are you, a little fox, who dares to talk to this god like this?" Our Lady of the West was obviously furious. I don't know whether it was because her thoughts were guessed by the woman, or because she could no longer control the situation.
The fox girl smiled coquettishly: "Who I am is not important. What is important is how could I, Maitreya from the Central Plains, fall into the hands of the people from the Western Regions."
As soon as these words came out, all the believers in the audience were in an uproar. Many Jiangnan believers were in a commotion, and their hearts were floating.
Although this fox girl appeared suddenly, what she said made sense.
The power of the Bliss Pill of Our Lady of the Western King has been broken by the fox girl's drumming. Although these believers are weak, they have become much more awake.
Four members of the Maitreya congregation in Jiangnan struggled to stand up and asked the Dharma Protector in a loud voice: "King of Heaven, is this serious?"
The Protector Heavenly King looked at Our Lady of the West and said to the four people in the audience: "How can the four heavenly generals be so confused? Maitreya of the Western Regions and I, Maitreya, have the same origin, and Our Lady of the Western Heavens has a very deep connection with my Holy Lord. You wait
It’s not that I don’t know, how can I listen to the villain’s words? I can guarantee that this will never happen.”
It turned out that the four people standing up were the four great generals of the Maitreya Sect in Jiangnan.
This time, the Central Plains Maitreya Sect came to Yunshu to participate in the Water and Land Conference. A heavenly king and four heavenly generals came.
"This is definitely not the case?" The fox girl suddenly changed her charming tone and snorted coldly, "I'm afraid that the King of Heaven has been bribed by the Holy Mother."
The four heavenly generals originally had great trust in the Eastern Protector of Heaven, but when the fox girl told him, they became a little confused again.
"Bold witch, you dare to do the following and insult this king." The guardian king Raus shouted from the high platform, which made people's hearts tremble.
"If you were not bribed by the Holy Mother and the Holy Lord has passed away, why don't you want to welcome the Holy Lady back as soon as possible and instead collude with the Holy Lady? Are you trying to exclude the Holy Lady from the door and want to lead the Maitreya Cult in the Central Plains yourself?"
"Moo... you damn fox, how dare you talk nonsense, look at my flying ax..." An angry sound came from his nose, and Rolls looked at the fox girl with red eyes.
Gradually, Rouse's eyes seemed to be uncontrollably getting redder and redder, the bulging muscles on his body were also slightly red, and the breathing from his nose became more and more severe. Staring at the fox girl, a cold light shone.
The fox girl quickly retreated 20 meters, and several ice crystals blasted at the protective shield. Fortunately, the fox girl's protective shield had good defense and was not hit. Fortunately, a lot of her own real energy was consumed by then.
Rouse immediately shot the flying axe. Because the flying axe was instantaneous, the fox girl dodged the possible flying axes erratically from left to right and gradually approached.
The flying ax made direct contact with the fox girl, but surprisingly, no sound was made. After a water pattern, Rouse appeared 10 meters to the left of the fox girl. The flying ax hit the fox girl's wind lantern, and
The fox girl was not hit.
At this time, several more flying axes fell, and the fox girl immediately dodged.
