In the records of Jialan Kingdom, there is a story about Baoguang Buddha.
It is said that he emerged from filth and mud and was the incarnation of purifying miasma and dispelling disasters.
The real name of Baoguang Buddha is Lu Zhen. He is a blue-eyed three-headed golden rooster. When he went out to travel, he encountered a poisonous river with wide rapids.
The river is turbulent, but the water flow is purple-black. The corpses of a large number of fish and shrimps are turned over, and the smell of decay is emitted as the river flows.
Lu Zhen couldn't bear it and had no choice.
He stood on the bank of the river and made a great wish: "Form the black soil with flesh and blood, condense the white water with Taoism, and make purification and universal salvation your responsibility throughout your life."
The Tathagata felt this, forged the five treasures of water purification with his own hands, and sent 60,000 bhikkhus to work for them.
Lu Zhen led the monks to purify the waters, which took 3,600 years to complete. Therefore, he was named the Buddha of Gratitude, Compassion and Majestic Light.
That river full of toxins was also famous for its sweet and clear water, and was called Baoguang River by later generations.
Manjusri stood by the gray river, looking at the octopuses shaking their heads in the water, his eyes twinkling.
The Baoguang River in the records of Jialan Kingdom is the gray body of water in front of you.
At this time, it is called Taize.
The filth and toxins in the swamp slowly seeped into the Taize River along the earth's veins.
The current level of pollution is still within a controllable range, and has not reached the point where there are countless floating corpses and a smelly sky in Lu Zhen's story.
Manjusri squatted by the river, reached out to hold up the turbid river water, and tasted it carefully.
"Fortunately, I arrived in time. The river water tastes slightly bitter, which shows that the pollution is not serious. However, the toxins have penetrated, causing the aquarium fish to flee crazily to other waters."
Nowadays, the only creatures in the river are the silly gall octopuses.
The gall octopus is a strange beast in the mud. It likes to live in dirty areas and usually lives in groups in the mud at the bottom of rivers.
They look particularly cute, with fresh egg-yellow skin and tentacles connected by thin fleshy membranes, like a spread pancake.
The gall octopus has big fleshy ears on both sides of its head.
When encountering an enemy, they will neither evade nor resist. Instead, they will cover their eyes with their ears and stay in place, daring not to move.
Such a cute character has enabled this race to evolve a strong reproductive ability.
Manjusri picked up a gall octopus, which quickly curled up into a meaty dumpling, covered his eyes and shivered.
Put it in the palm of your hand and weigh it gently. It weighs two kilograms or three liang.
This is no small news.
The gall octopus absorbs impurities and dirt as food, and its body produces gall that condenses toxins.
In short, their weight is a measure of water quality.
"In areas with clear and pure water, the weight of the gall octopus should be between one pound and a half to one and forty pounds. However, the octopuses here are all fat and fat. It seems that the problem of water pollution must be solved as soon as possible.
."
Manjusri followed the traces of pollution and rushed towards the swamp area.
On the road, the rotting situation became more and more serious, the fishy smell gradually became stronger, and many tattered and broken bones were discarded randomly on both sides of the road.
As the distance shortens, a large number of emerald green algae come into view.
These algae often appear in fertile swamp areas and are trap species.
When night falls, the algae will emit the smoke of birdna, weaving strange illusions in the sky.
The birds passing by will be devoured by the illusion and fall into the swamp area to become nutrients.
Manjusri flicked his fingers, and with a sudden flash of inspiration, he lifted up countless dirty and sticky soil, revealing a large number of feathers buried underneath.
Sure enough.
Continuing forward, he finally came to the edge of the swamp.
Different from the imagined picture, this swamp is particularly gorgeous and magnificent, as stunning as a rainbow falling into the mortal world.
Colorful poisonous spiritual plants connect to form a luxurious carpet covering the surface.
Under the shining light, they exude an ethereal dreamy atmosphere and condense into a gorgeous ocean.
If he hadn't known that this was a death zone, Manjusri would have thought it was the lotus pond and fish platform in heaven.
He frowned, looking at the scene like a dream trap, with many thoughts in his mind.
"The swamp is full of filth and there are countless traps. If we want to solve these hidden dangers, we must eradicate these messy poisonous spiritual plants."
Before I knew it, the sun was setting in the west, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse in the sky, and the hazy clouds and mist were spreading, blocking the bright stars.
As night falls, the breeze brings moist water vapor, which condenses into crystal dewdrops and condenses in the ditches of flowers, plants and trees.
Suddenly, bursts of earthy aroma came from the swamp, just like the clearing of the mountains after the rain, accompanied by the fresh reviving smell of vegetation.
It's early winter now, the temperature is cold and quiet, and the soil has become hard and solid, but this fragrance is unique to the spring equinox.
Manjusri put his hands behind his back, and his left eye was yellow-brown and shimmered, mobilizing the entire earth veins for his own use.
If you look down from the sky, you will see a dirty yellow-brown quilt covering the gorgeous swamp area from north to south.
Countless pimple-like mud balls jumped out of the mud one after another. They thrived in the wind and suddenly grew dozens of times in size.
The mud ball began to squirm crazily, and its body became larger and rounder. Many green plant buds sprouted from the surface, and in the blink of an eye, it reached more than three meters in height.
As the breeze blew, hundreds of thousands of huge mud balls swayed, collided with each other, squeezed, and rolled randomly above the swamp.
Wherever the mud ball goes, it sticks to all the poisonous spiritual plants in its path, and slowly swallows, digests and absorbs it. The surface is gradually filled with messy colored bumps, which looks particularly disgusting.
They rolled extremely fast and rushed out like locusts crossing the border, occupying the entire swamp area.
When all the poisonous Dao Spirit vegetation was eaten away, the mud balls stayed in place and stopped moving, but there was a faint banging sound inside.
Bang, bang, bang...
The crackling sounds converged into raging waves, rushing in from all directions. The mud ball instantly shattered into several petals, and from the yellow-brown smoke inside, countless majestic roosters with full wings jumped out.
Native chicken technique!
These roosters are tall and majestic and can freely shuttle through the land.
As Manjusri's thoughts moved slightly, they all got into the swamp, looking for the corpses rotting inside.
"The Native Chicken Technique is simple to operate and highly practical. It is one of the more powerful signature spells of the Earth Way." Manjusri looked at the swamp rolling like wheat waves and nodded with great satisfaction.
After his enlightenment on the Great Dao was forgotten, he originally thought of continuing to practice the Ice and Water Paths by following the old path, or practicing the Ghost Path with Laixi as his natal spiritual treasure, or practicing the Fire Path or the Cloud Path with the Qingyun Golden Lantern as the foundation, but after meeting
After Lu Chuan, he chose to practice the light path without hesitation.
First of all, Manjusri's understanding of the light path in his previous life is still there, and the foundation is deep and difficult to shake. Secondly, the sun, moon and stars are all dojos with strong light paths. Although they are all objects with owners, they can all find ways to take them as their own.
Moreover, the power of the Mingzhi Pearl has not really blossomed, but it is already so terrifying, which shows its power.
Most importantly, he likes it.
I like it so much that it cannot be replaced, and I like it so much that just thinking about it makes me happy.
There was only one final shackle left before he could become a spiritual immortal. Before that, he chose to use earth magic instead for the time being.
The characteristics of earth roads are ordinary and changeable.
Resources can be found everywhere, the Tao Yun is thick and majestic, and has the ability to alleviate injuries, causing most living beings to practice the earth Tao.
Because of this, Manjusri will have a lot of experience to draw on when he temporarily practices this way, which will help him avoid many detours.
Although it is used for transition, Manjusri can still feel the charm of the earth road.
The original form of the native chicken technique is called Diannibaoyin.
This technique was derived tens of thousands of years ago and was created by Fei Niangzi from Qingsong Langyahai. It uses thirty-two treasure seals to tear apart the earth's veins and summon the mud beast Baoji.
Baoji is not good at killing, but it has rough skin and thick flesh. It has several abilities such as breaking formations, dispersing, killing, treasure hunting, and deriving.
The emergence of the Dianni treasure seal brought the mud path to its climax, and the creator Fei Niangzi became famous.
However, this method has huge drawbacks. In addition to consuming tremendous spiritual power, it will also cause irreparable damage to the earth veins.
Fei Niangzi's glory was as fleeting as a shooting star, and she was forgotten by all living beings in the long river of history.
However, in the next four hundred years, this magic was not abandoned, but was continuously introduced by future generations.
Until a genius named Dadu came out of the sky, and the Diannibao Seal appeared again to create brilliance.
Most of them have outstanding talents and profound realms. He abandoned the cumbersome treasure seal technique and replaced the treasure chicken with ordinary mud beasts, reducing the fancy functions and focusing on killing the beasts, which greatly reduced the burden of activating this technique. p>
Because of this, Dian Mu Bao Seal was renamed Thousand Earth Reincarnation Technique and became the signature spell of Tu Dao.
Since then, the earth path has given birth to several powerful creatures, who have innovated and perfected the reincarnation technique of thick earth, revealing the grand scene of a hundred schools of thought contending.
The old woman of Populus euphratica leaves the clouds and mud, the lady of Baishui walks alone in the rain and the lotus, the Yinglang tribe resettles...
Their talents bloom like fireworks and are as brilliant as rainbows, creating a glorious and prosperous age of earth.
The Wooden Chicken Technique now activated by Manjusri was created by the ancestor Panwang's sixteenth concubine, Fairy Mo Shou, who drew on the original Dian Mu Seal.
She found another way, focusing on the direction of exploration, and created this powerful wooden chicken technique based on the premise of saving spiritual power.
A loud cry rang out, pulling Manjusri back from his thoughts.
Attackers poked their heads out of the swamp one after another, holding rotting corpses and dead bones in their mouths.
The corpses of these creatures that fell in the earthquake of the earth's veins retain majestic spirituality, making it difficult for them to be swallowed by the earth, and they continue to exude resentment.
Manjusri mobilized native chickens to pile the corpses into a mountain, and then took down the hibiscus branches above the bun.
The branches look ordinary, and the surface is not rough to the touch, but has a smooth and greasy feel.
Manjusri activated his spiritual power and blew gently on the branches. Suddenly, the bright sun began to steam up.
The true meaning of fire contained in this hibiscus branch turned into thousands of golden velvet flowers, covering the corpse inside and slowly burning it.
With a crackling sound, the filth sealed on the surface of the corpse was cleaned away, and a faint breath of soul was emitted.
"Huh?" Manjusri frowned slightly and carefully felt the breath of those souls.
After a long time, he regained consciousness and let out a sigh of relief.
The souls of living beings are sealed deep in the mud, causing them to suffer in the dark environment.
If Manjusri had not arrived in time, his soul would have been eaten away by the swamp in a few days.
When the time comes, many evil ghosts will be born here, which will speed up the spread of the power of death several times.
Manjusri's thoughts moved slightly, and the energy in his body suddenly began to sway.
The aura of ghosts filled the air, and the powerful power shattered the void, and a slender and ethereal figure was pulled out from inside.
He is thin and slender with a delicate appearance. He is wearing a crescent-colored gold silk robe and holds a flagpole stained with charms in his hand.
Xie Bian!
"Venerable Manjusri." Xie Bi'an looked slightly feminine and spoke softly. He held the flagpole across his chest and bowed to salute.
Manjusri helped him up with a smile and said.
"Master Impermanence, there is no need to be polite, just call Manjusri by his first name. I really have something to ask for when I call you here this time, let's see~"
Xie Bian followed Manjusri's finger and looked forward, and was suddenly attracted by the soul in the sea of fire.
They are not as pure and transparent as ordinary souls, but instead show a deep purple-black color, and are firmly stuck to the corpse and difficult to break free.
Dots of thick black smoke clustered in the middle of the sea of fire and filled the air, vaguely revealing the shape of a ferocious skull.
"It turned out to be a group of mourning souls." Xie Bian said softly and turned around.
"Your Majesty, this kind of soul-destroying resentment is so deep that it takes a lot of effort to pursue it. Why not call my friend Fan Wujiu over? The efficiency of our cooperation can be greatly improved."
Manjusri nodded and urged Laixi again to call Fan Wujiu out.
Contrary to Xie Bi'an's respectful attitude, Fan Wu Jiu seemed very uncomfortable.
He witnessed Laixi's refining with his own eyes, and besides admiring Manjusri's talent, he was also unwilling and afraid.
This treasure is the foundation of the ghost realm, and Manjusri can use it to command the ghosts of the ancient world, even if they are several realms higher, they cannot resist.
Fan Wujiu's eyes were lonely, but the movements of his hands did not stop at all, and he and Xie Bian worked together in the sea of fire.
The crescent-white flagpole fluttered in the wind, and thousands of delicate talisman shadows condensed and landed in the air, arranged in a mysterious trajectory.
A crisp clanking sound sounded, and the chain stretched out like a bright silver snake, swallowing the snake's core flexibly.
They wrapped the soul around its waist, stretched it upwards, pulled it out of the corpse, and shot it out in the direction of Xie Bian.
"Hmph." Fan Wujiu snorted coldly, with a stern look in his eyes. He took the black umbrella and fiercely pulled it out towards the group of bright silver snakes.
In an instant, waves of flying sand and rocks rolled up, and a dark wheel of light slowly rose.
Seeing this, Xie Bi'an quickly shook his left hand, and a pleasant bell vibrated.
There is a wrench on his middle finger, the back of his hand is decorated with wax roses, and the palm of his hand is hung with bells.
Waves of ripples flowed on Xie Bian's fingertips, turning into a channel wide in front and narrow in back to guide the snakes.
The soul was bound to the body by the silver snake, and it rushed into the light wheel like a mud cow into the sea and became silent again.
The two impermanent men were clean and sophisticated in their methods, without any sloppiness, and they captured all the souls and brought them to the underworld.
Three hours later, the soul disappeared without a trace, and the corpse lost its source of power and collapsed and shattered, turning into pale ash and covering the ground.
"Your Majesty, I am fortunate to have fulfilled my destiny." Xie Bi'an bowed and said.
By coming here this time, he can be regarded as doing a good deed. In addition to receiving heavenly merits, he will also be rewarded with corresponding resources after returning to the underworld. It can be said that he kills two birds with one stone.

"Thank you both for your help." Manjusri responded with the courtesy of a fellow Taoist.
Fan Wujiu nodded without saying too much. Just as he was about to leave and return to the underworld, he was stopped by Manjusri.
"Fellow Taoists, don't leave in a hurry. I have a cooperation here that we can discuss in detail."
