The three hundred thousand souls were poured into the coffin, once again increasing the number of ghosts inside.
In fact, Jiang Li had already harvested a large number of souls in the previous battle in the Mazu River Basin.
Adding the three hundred thousand this time, the total number of ghosts in the burial coffin has exceeded the two million mark.
But ordinary souls need time and a lot of spiritual energy to transform into soul-killing ghost soldiers.
Jiang Li wanted to let them advance and become official ghost soldiers to fight, but it would still take a long time to wait.
Ignoring all this for the time being, Jiang Li grabbed another piece of ore lying aside.
The ore is heavy and slippery to the touch, and the surface of the ore is also coated with a thick layer of wax for protection.
He didn't feel anything at first, but after two breaths of exposure, the skin of his palms began to turn slightly green and numb. This was actually poisoning.
Considering Jiang Li's current amazing resistance, and the fact that he is separated by a tight layer of wax, he can be poisoned without direct contact, which shows how toxic this ore is.
This is a top-notch poisonous mine that Jiang Li paid a lot of money for at an auction.
It is said that this thing has a great origin. It was swallowed by a thousand-year-old poisonous dragon and was soaked in the poison of the dragon day and night. It was not until the poisonous dragon was beheaded by an expert that the internal organs were cut open and taken out.
It is the main material Jiang Li plans to use to make the second coffin nail.
Seven coffin nails can have a huge impact and increase on the burial coffin.
If it is made into a second coffin nail, the coffin can be given poisonous properties.
Then, each soul-burying ghost soldier is poisoned and becomes a million poisonous souls that cannot be guarded against. The threat of Jiang Li's ghost soldiers will undoubtedly be greatly increased.
Putting it away temporarily, Jiang Li looked at the last item in the auction, which was also the culprit that almost wiped out his family fortune.
It was a golden Buddhist statue from ancient times.
The golden statue is a little over ten feet tall, carries thousands of hands on its back, and sits on a lotus platform. It can be imagined that it must have been the grand and majestic main Buddha of the temple back then.
But now, traces of time are everywhere on the golden statue. It has been seriously damaged, and few of the Thousand Hands behind it have been lost.
After all, this is the same thing as the prison dragon lock, which has been passed down from ancient times to today. It does not have the indestructible special material of the prison dragon lock. It is extremely rare that it can remain like this after the erosion of time.
The key is that this golden statue also contains a mysterious power, which is why its price is so expensive.
Although the immortal Buddha behind this golden statue has disappeared, the face of the golden statue has also been blurred.
But this golden statue, during this long period of time in the Age of Ending Dharma, has been worshiped by some mortal country.
At times, thousands of people would crowd out to pay homage to it, but at times, there would only be three to five believers burning incense every month.
With the help of the not-so-meager power of incense, its original material was not special, and it could survive thousands of years without decaying, and it has been preserved to this day.
It was finally bought by Jiang Li for an astonishing price of 1.65 million.
Leader Jiang's eyes were already red when he saw this golden statue being placed on the auction table.
He felt an inexplicably familiar resonance from inside.
It seemed that threads were growing deep in his soul, trying to connect to this golden statue.
The strange movement of the soul, coupled with the special shape of this golden statue.
He immediately remembered some things from his previous life.
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva has three thousand incarnations, listening to all things and saving all sentient beings. However, there are only thirty-three incarnations known to the world and with statues erected for worship.
Among them, the Thousand-Hand Guanyin is the thirty-third incarnation.
From Jiang Li's understanding, in the ancient times of Kyushu Continent tens of thousands of years ago, many immortals and Buddhas were very similar to the myths and legends of previous lives.
It was just a legend in the previous life, but in this Kyushu continent, it is a real history.
But perhaps because time has passed so long, there are fewer records about those immortals and Buddhas here.
After Jiang Li obtained the Guanyin Heart Sutra, he went out of his way to find someone to inquire about it, but unfortunately, even some knowledgeable seniors from the sect had never heard of the name Guanyin Master.
Not to mention the specifically pointed Thousand-Hand Guanyin.
So it’s unlikely that this golden statue is fake!
Of course, the most important thing is Jiang Li's wonderful connection with this golden statue.
After thinking about it, he stretched out his hand and pressed it on the golden statue, silently started the Guanyin Heart Sutra, and tried to explore the Buddha statue using the method of Guanyin.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Li easily established a resonance with the Buddha statue.
From his perspective of Guanyin, it was as if it should be like this. As soon as he touched the golden statue, he was sucked in directly.
Then, a lot of voices started coming.
First there was a noisy and dense buzzing sound, crowded together, making people unable to hear clearly and distracted.
Jiang Li's brows frowned tightly. He smelled a faint scent of incense on the tip of his nose, and his eardrums began to tingle. It seemed that many people were talking to him and asking him for something.
Words buzzing into his mind one after another.
The tip of his nose felt sore, his ears hurt, and four lines of blood flowed out from them.
This complicated sound of believers burning incense and petitioning is not something that a foundation-building monk can easily bear.
Jiang Li was slightly helpless as his soul was slightly injured.
However, Jiang Li did not panic, nor did he stop there. He calmed down and directly brought back the first and second parallel consciousness.
Perhaps due to the barrier of space, the Yaksha clone of the third parallel consciousness is not unable to get through, but there is still a time difference of about a quarter of an hour.
The situation in the Asura world does not apply to the Kyushu continent. If you suddenly lose consciousness and fall to the ground, and be eaten by a passing monster, it is very possible.
Now in the Asura world, Jiang Li only has such a seed, so naturally he cannot give up easily.
So he just invited the first and second parallel consciousness to help him.
The large amount of noise that poured into his mind was directly diverted into two parallel consciousnesses, and Jiang Li immediately felt a lot more relaxed.
Sitting in the consciousness space with the other two parallel consciousnesses, they summoned nine ghost lanterns and cold flames to surround them.
Under the influence of Jiang Li's daily consumption of ghost lantern fish and ghost lanterns, his nine cold flames became much stronger than before. When released, they were the size of a basketball, and about 30% of the center turned pale. Powerful
Even better than before, if that Nine Nether Tree was hit by the cold flames now, I don't know if there would be a chance to escape.
The cold flame of the ghost lamp surrounds the body. Ninety percent of the incoming voices and thoughts are directly burned by the cold flame. After the remaining tenth is divided between two parallel consciousnesses, although in ordinary people's ears, it is still the same as a thousand people.
There is no difference between strong men snoring together.
But under Jiang Li's Guanyin Heart Sutra, he could barely hear some of the sounds inside.
"Bodhisattva, my family members are rushing to take the exam in the capital. The journey there is thousands of mountains and rivers and there are many dangers. I ask Bodhisattva to bless my family members' safety on their way to the top of the high school!"
...
"Bodhisattva~ Wuwuwu~ My eldest child fell into a well and died at the age of three. The second child fell off the stove at the age of three and died~ Wuwuwu~ My poor third child was born with a hand. He was just three years old.
It’s cold again in the year, and I’m suffering from plague! Please pray to the Bodhisattva to do well and save my baby!”
"I kowtow to the Bodhisattva! I kowtow to the Bodhisattva!"
....
"Bodhisattva, I am Huang Fugui, a member of the village. I have eaten fast, chanted Buddha's name, done good deeds, and done good deeds all my life. I have never done anything bad! But I have a naughty dog under my knees. I played with the tenant's daughter the day before yesterday. The little girl hanged herself out of thought.
Got it!"
"My poor dog is involved in a lawsuit and his life is at stake! Please have mercy on me and keep my child safe!"
....
"Bodhisattva, my little girl! My little girl was deceived by the teacher and lost her innocence. Now she is four months pregnant. What should I do..."
The prayers were compiled by Jiang Li based on the Guanyin Heart Sutra.
One after another, they are all sufferings in the world.
The ancient immortal Buddhas enjoyed eternal life by eating the incense of the human world. This may be the feeling at ordinary times.
Through the Guanyin Heart Sutra, Jiang Li can feel that although the immortal Buddha has disappeared, after tens of thousands of years of burning incense and worshiping, this statue actually contains a lot of incense and wish power.
But Jiang Li had no intention of absorbing them.
Even after absorbing it, it can make Jiang Li's cultivation improve by leaps and bounds, directly breaking through to the golden elixir or even Yuanying.
But the power of the incense is mixed with too many messy wills and emotions. Before you have the ability to remove its influence, if you get a little bit of it, it will pollute your most original self, which is a very costly thing.
It's just like eating raw snake meat or frog meat. As long as you dare to eat it, you will be infected with parasites.
Jiang Li has the Jiuyou Earth Fruit to assist him in his cultivation. If it was just for polishing his skills, he could break through to the level of pill formation now, and there is no need to drink poison to quench his thirst.
However, Jiang Li's inability to absorb the power does not mean that he cannot obtain other benefits from it.
The Guanyin Heart Sutra is a very special spiritual practice.
What drives the movement of the practice is not some magical elixir or heavenly material or earthly treasure, but all kinds of suffering and suffering in the world.
As long as you have experience and insights, you can greatly improve your spiritual cultivation.
And this Thousand-Hand Avalokitesvara statue, doesn’t it record the sounds of the world?
Jiang Li sinks deeper into his mind, seizes the voice in the petition, and digs deeper bit by bit.
For a time, all other voices were suppressed, and Jiang Li seemed to see all the past through the eyes of the golden statue.
Mortal people's wishes are nothing more than life, death, wealth, sex, and rights, but the greed, anger, obsession, and hatred within them cannot be explained clearly in such a simple sentence or two.
Among the countless voices accumulated over a long period of time, Jiang Li slowly found the same voices among them, trying to learn more about these incense believers.
One, two, three, most of the sounds are blurred and messy and cannot be distinguished, but some particularly "pious" ones are still intact.
The woman who asked to bless her husband when he returned from high school sounded very ordinary.
But this voice appears every few days and has lasted for seven years. The content is exactly the same, but the voice changes from sad and worried at the beginning to crazy later.
His husband has not been home for seven years. This woman went crazy a long time ago because she could not bear the shock.
As for her husband, he either died outside or started a new family. It is very likely that he will never come back.
The woman whose child would not live to be three years old had petitioned several times for a child before that.
But after she petitioned, there was another old woman's voice, pleading to the Bodhisattva.
Just because the woman's first three children were all girls, and her family was poor and unable to raise more children.
Therefore, under the "means" of this old woman, those girls were forcibly killed one after another by external forces.
It's just that the woman didn't know it, she just thought that her life was miserable and her child was unlucky.
....There are more human tragedies, unfolding in front of the dumb Buddha statue.
The misery of mortals and the sorrow of life, from a third-party perspective, I can see and listen to those voices and watch those cries without sadness or joy.
Jiang Li seemed to have realized something. The Guanyin Heart Sutra was running at high speed, and his spiritual attributes began to gradually increase.
Contemplate freedom, enter the land of tiny dust particles, and be freed from all suffering.
Therefore, with immeasurable merit and virtue, always upholding the sutras and calling out mantras, all sentient beings will be sincere and avoid all kinds of evil destinies and all kinds of suffering.
Stay away from each other, achieve harmony, and ascend to the wonderful path. The sea waves are moist, the wind blows and touches, and the obstacles to karma are eliminated.
Not only what is heard by the ears, but also what is seen by the real eyes, the clear and effective roots are deep.
The dimness of emotions leads to the five turbidities, and the ghosts and gods record the punishments.
In the blink of an eye, it becomes hell and great sorrow.
There are two paths of good and evil, and it is up to people to follow the path of great mercy.
Among those thousands of sounds, another mysterious scripture rang in Jiang Li's ears, its name was Thousand Hands!
Three days later, Jiang Li came out of the laboratory.
At this time, he looked slightly different from before, and his temperament was deeper and more reserved.
The aura that had become somewhat arrogant due to the surge in strength has now been steadily regained.
His breakthrough in spiritual cultivation was followed by the emergence of the fourth parallel consciousness. Jiang Li had already thought of its place.
....
Asura Realm, Dora Blood Arena.
After the Bloody Yaksha clone joined here after winning the bloody battle, he was randomly assigned the identity of a guard.
Although it is not an important position, the advantage is that he can move freely in many places in this bloody battlefield.
After escaping from the wilderness, Jiang Li finally got a glimpse of the Asura civilization through him.
This is a race without morals or ethics.
Their men are extremely ugly and their women are extremely beautiful, but regardless of gender, they are all like a collection of desires, living in the moment with indulgence.
During the time that the Bloody Yaksha was working as a guard, hundreds of live erotic events had taken place in the auditorium of the Blood Arena.
They were open to the public, and not only had no shame, but they also invited the asuras nearby to join them.
There is disorder and chaos, a disagreement can lead to a life-and-death fight in the next second.
Jiang Li didn't quite understand their social structure. But thanks to their chaotic rules, Yaksha's clone found an opportunity to sneak attack and kill the guard captain here, and then took the place of the original captain and became the manager.
With greater authority and scope of activities, Jiang Li quickly discovered some secrets of this bloody battlefield.
Beneath this huge building, there is another world.
