Upon hearing Jiang Li's request, several senior officials of Cihang Temple fell into awkward silence, looking at each other unable to make a decision.
Those relics were made from the incarnations of their senior monks from Cihang Temple.
On the one hand, it is the treasure of their temple, and on the other hand, it is the legacy of their predecessors, so they should be respected no matter what.
If you lend the relics to others, it is probably a kind of blasphemy against them.
But Jiang Li was so generous to them. He gave them all the elixirs of the earthly realm, but he only borrowed the relics for a period of time and did not directly ask for them.
If you refuse all these, I'm afraid you will offend others.
"This... Alliance Leader Jiang, please allow us to discuss this."
The few of them did not take the elixir from Jiang Li's hand, but walked to the side and gathered around, took out the communication spirit stone that directly connected to their hometown, and began to communicate through sound transmission.
Jiang Li didn't mind either, so he ran around and walked around the tidal flat.
I casually scattered some sea tree seeds. After this battle, a lot of sea beast carcasses were left behind, which can be used as fertilizer for seedlings and afforestation.
If a piece of Dawanghai driftwood is planted nearby to strengthen the defense, the deterrent power of this plant can also reduce the harassment of enemy sea beasts to a great extent.
He walked around and came back. Several people from Cihang Temple were standing there waiting for him. Apparently, they had already discussed the results.
"Leader Jiang, we have discussed with the abbot that monks should open the door for convenience."
"The relics will be transported with the next batch of Chongshan Alliance fleet."
"In addition, our Buddhist Sutra Valley Club will give you a tantric Buddhist sutra. I hope that Leader Jiang can recite it to the relic three times a day."
Cihang Temple finally agreed to Jiang Li.
After all, Cihang Temple owes Jiang Li a huge favor. From a certain point of view, Alliance Leader Jiang can be considered a person with deep ties to Buddhism.
Now that Shushan had just given a gift, they naturally couldn't be too stingy. In addition, Alliance Leader Jiang is a genius. What if he also has an excellent understanding of Buddhism?
Then the three of them may be more deeply tied together through this medium.
In this way, Jiang Li can be regarded as achieving a small goal of his.
After getting the relics, you can speed up the refining of Ananda's blood and tears.
After obtaining the Thousand Spirit Balls at the core of the city, the Chongshan Alliance Organ City was repaired at a speed that was more than ten times faster than usual.
Jiang Li also arranged for some monks who were good at body escape techniques to serve as scouts to investigate the nearby environment and prepare for the long war in the future.
He himself finally left here alone.
Ever since he became the leader of the Chongshan Alliance, he has always been followed by the guardian elders. Although it provides some added security, it is also very inconvenient for him.
Now Thousand Machine City is in ruins and waiting to be renovated, and it is indispensable for strong men to garrison it.
Jiang Li used this as an excuse to let all the senior officials stay in the city, while he flew in a certain direction on the wooden dragon Rayquaza.
....
The fantasy land of Hades, in the city of Fengdu.
Jiang Li's sword cultivator clone was sitting in a sparsely furnished wing, reading several books under the guidance of a male ghost.
This is exactly what Jiang Li got from the old house of her husband's Du family, where the ghost king Yang Ruozhi was married.
"The Way of Incense"
This is a volume that adopts the secret technique of smoking incense and is divided into four parts: picking incense, eating candles, listening to music, and reading wishes.
The level is probably that of the Earth Mountain God in ancient times, something that everyone can do.
In terms of the popularity of ancient inheritance, it is even more widespread than Jiang Li's magic.
Of course, being popular does not mean that it is not good. Every word of the Taoism and mysteries mentioned in it is precious. Jiang Li has also learned a lot of ancient exercises, and he has his own judgment on the quality of these previous things.
The so-called incense method was actually very common in ancient times. Anyone from Daluo Jinxian to Shanze Xiaogui would basically take a few puffs of it.
But the difference is huge.
The scope of smoking and carrying incense is divided into several levels, which can be as small as one household, one village, one place, one city, or as large as one country, one region, one continent, or one boundary.
In addition to quantity and scope, the speed, transformation, and safety of incense smoking are all top priorities.
In fact, the Guanyin Heart Sutra itself can be used to inhale incense and aspiration, but Jiang Li was unwilling to do so.
He wanted the clone of the god to practice this way, but the clone was the parallel consciousness transformed by the Guanyin Heart Sutra and could not practice the Guanyin Heart Sutra again.
And this new incense guide can just make up for this.
In fact, for him, the incense technique was secondary, and the most important thing was the ancient writing he learned from Du Xianzhu.
With the learning of that kind of writing, Jiang Li also gradually interpreted part of the inscription obtained from the Qianji Spirit Ball environment.
The rubbings of the content of the inscription are incomplete, or the complete content was originally carved on several different stone tablets.
After reading this part of the inscription, he could only learn that it was a desperate last word before death and an agreement on some things.
"My Way Will Die"
"My way is about to die. It is a sage. It is neither human nor divine. It is immortal and will not be destroyed. It will return to the palace and become empty, and it will gather the treasures of heaven and earth."
"You, the First Heavenly Lord, in the Qingwei Heaven, at the Jade Capital Golden Tower, the Seven Treasures Mysterious Garden, the Jade Emperor's Palace, the Ascend Light Seat, and numerous people without martingale, proclaimed the pure and pure Dharma of the spiritual treasures."
"These are the true saints, the infinite divine kings, the spiritual boys and beautiful maidens, ninety million people, with the power of the six saints, shining all over the heavens, the infinite Brahma land, in the infinite directions of the ten directions, without any obstacles. People from the ten directions come, dancing with lins and phoenixes, singing.
"
"The Golden Immortal of Brahma, the Mahayana Bodhisattva, the four groups and eight divisions, the four gatherings of Qingxiao, are circling in front of the road. The rain is full of wonderful flowers, falling like clouds, and candles are burning in the infinite world below, in the same Xuandu realm..."
"Sighing, the Tao does not follow the crowd, the desires of heaven and the gods destroy it."
"At that time, all the saints were shocked, the darkness cut off the light, the world was shaken, and there was no peace. At that time, everything was turbid, the sky shook and the earth cracked, and the dead bones were reborn. The corpses were flying, the Fengcheng was surrounded by iron, and the night was long and dark.
, collapsed and destroyed.”
"The suffering souls in hell, the hopeless heavens. The end of reincarnation, the tombs of immortals and Buddhas, the abandonment of sins and virtues, the suffering of the three evil realms, and never relief. How can all the sinners at this time survive with such little strength..."
"My way is about to die, and the way will also die."
The content here, even if it has been translated from ancient texts into today's common language, is not so easy for people to understand.
However, in general, this inscription seems to describe at first the era of immortals and Buddhas that were extremely glorious in ancient times.
To put it crudely, it's probably like a situation where there are as many golden immortals as dogs, giants are everywhere, and saints show up every now and then to hold banquets and so on.
It is a picture that is unimaginable in today's era when even Mao Shen Yuanxian does not exist.
It is also mixed with some feelings of jealousy and dissatisfaction, which seems to accuse the saint Daluo and other pioneers of pursuing the path, keeping all the good things in the world for themselves, and not giving opportunities to those who come after them.
He actually dared to leave a letter to accuse the saint? From this point of view, the situation at that time must have been indeed bad to a certain extent. It was only because the saint was unable to protect himself that he dared to vent like this.
Then in the middle section, something suddenly seemed to go wrong with the heavenly path they were chasing.
The person who left the inscription expressed his helplessness by saying, "If the Tao fails to be followed by the masses, the desires of heaven and gods will destroy it."
What follows is the second half of the tragic words, from the gods and Buddhas in the Nine Heavens to the ghosts in the Nine Netherworlds below. In his description, no one has a good ending.
If this inscription is not what Jiang Li expected, it should have been left by a certain immortal at that time before the ancient world of immortality collapsed and was about to enter the Age of Ending Dharma.
The Age of Dharma Ending, that is a word that scares immortal cultivators.
Who can imagine what it would be like if the spiritual energy between heaven and earth suddenly dried up.
It's as if the oxygen in the air that is essential for survival suddenly disappears, leaving almost no way to survive.
Jiang Li looked at those words and could roughly feel some of the despair he felt at that time.
If I were thrown into the environment at that time...well...wait a minute, I don't seem to be afraid of the Age of Ending Dharma.
Jiang Li took a look at his spiritual energy-infused state and suddenly felt as if he was born in the wrong era.
The immortal described some tragic scenes at that time, as well as some of the response measures taken by the immortals, Buddhas and gods at that time.
It also mentioned that the Six Paths of Reincarnation seemed to have been artificially divided, and the Buddhas and gods at that time made a certain agreement about this, but the specific content of the agreement was not recorded in this inscription.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation...eh? Immortal Tomb and Buddha Tomb?
Seeing these four words, Jiang Like became interested and yearned for other stone tablets.
Because according to the inscriptions here, one of their ways to deal with the end of the Dharma era was to build tombs in order to survive the difficulties by sleeping.
Among other stone tablets, it is very likely that the specific location of the Immortal Tomb and Buddha Tomb is recorded.
If he could go to those places and buy some things, Jiang Li might be able to make up the gap with those pioneers in cultivating immortals and achieve overtaking in a corner.
Want it? It's right there, they've buried everything in the world.
Go and pursue it! The ancient secret treasure!
As long as you find those inheritances to be buried with you, everything the cultivator wants will be at your fingertips!
This is a big secret. As long as few people know about it, no one will compete with me.
Thinking of this, even with Jiang Li's character, he couldn't help but laugh out loud because his facial expression management failed.
However, his laughter did not last long and was interrupted by a knock on the door outside.
"It's time, get ready to go."
The monk who invited Jiang Li to join the team came over to remind Jiang Li.
He didn't want to give his name, so he asked others to call him Lao Gui.
Jiang Li looked out the window. The thick fog above the city was slowly dissipating, replaced by a night sky without sun and stars. Only the moonlight could illuminate this place of the dead.
This means that someone from the outside world used the Three Life Stones to summon the illusion of the underworld in a specific area.
This situation has happened several times in the past ten days. A large number of human cultivators have sneaked here from the Ghost King Wasteland through the illusion.
Among them are even some great immortal cultivators who are well-known in the world of cultivating immortals in the Eastern Region.
As for their purpose, it is self-evident.
In the past few days, even the air pressure in Fengdu City has become heavier than before. It is obvious that a huge event is brewing.
The old ghost has not been idle these days. The team he has organized in private has reached fifty people. Thinking about it, he knows that he can't bring these fifty people to make a fortune together.
Most people, including Jiang Li, were cannon fodder specially prepared for his plan.
Jiang Liming knew this, but he didn't point it out. He also wanted to see the treasure underground palace under Fengdu City.
A group of them, dressed in plain clothes, moved around the streets of Fengdu City. All of these people were experienced, and during their actions, others could not tell that they were in a group.
The ghost market in Fengdu City is far more prosperous than Qin Shuman's Qitu Ghost Market.
They also charge yin and yang longevity as reward, and the products here are beyond your imagination and cannot be bought here.
It is said that there are several big forces that are constantly transporting mortals and casual cultivators into the city. As long as you accumulate enough longevity, you can even buy earth-level magic weapons.
At this moment, all the ghosts around them on the street paused, and then turned their heads to look in the same direction with dull expressions.
There, a paper talisman exploded in the air, and a few wisps of breath drifted out from it.
Those few wisps of breath were half pure yin and half pure yang. Although they seemed to have no cultivation level, their purity would shock even Jiang Li.
The old ghost standing not far from Jiang Li also noticed something, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Nine-yang boy! Nine-yin girl! There really is such a physique in this world!"
"Damn it! There's going to be chaos here soon, no need to pretend, just follow me!"
After the old ghost finished speaking, he didn't even try to disguise himself. He directly used his spiritual energy to reveal the aura of a living person, then showed off his body skills and ran towards the distance.
But just like he said, no ghost cared about him at all.
The ghosts in the whole city stared straight at the direction from which the breath came, and then all of them turned red.
To these ghosts and ghosts, boys and girls with that kind of physique are nothing more than elixirs and fruits.
As long as it is sucked, even the ghost king can advance on the spot and transform into a higher-level existence.
From this you can imagine how tempting the scent of boys and girls is to these ghosts.
For a moment, thousands of ghosts howled wildly, and countless ghost shadows jumped into the air. Except for some earthbound spirits who were tied to death in Fengdu City, all other free ghosts rushed towards the direction from which the breath came.
In that posture, even if a god-incarnation monk was blocking the front, he would be torn into pieces in less than half a moment!
Outside the city, there were people who continued to shoot breath charms into the air to lead them further away.
This is a very good method.
But the shelf life of that breath charm is no more than two hours, which means that the boy and girl must have been brought into the illusion.
Once it is sucked by a certain ghost king, no one present will be able to bear the consequences.
After thinking about this, Jiang Li cursed secretly in his heart, but had no choice but to use his body skills to follow the old ghost.
