A burst of divine power was injected into the child's body, and the child immediately woke up and became energetic.
"Child, tell me why you are so sleepy! You fell asleep on the street." Li Jinjiang asked.
The child said: "My mother wouldn't let me sleep, saying sleeping would kill someone. I ran out secretly while my mother was not there, but I was too sleepy."
"Go back! Don't let your mother worry." Li Jingang said.
The child ran back.
At this moment, a large number of officers and soldiers surrounded him. A general came out, looked at them and said, "Take them down."
"Bold, if you dare to arrest the current Imperial Master, I think you will risk your life." Xiao Ling'er scolded.
"Amitabha, this general and poor monk is a monk who came from the imperial capital and is now a national teacher. He is traveling to the west under the orders of the emperor. This is an imperial edict." Li Jingang didn't want to get into trouble and took out the imperial edict to prove his identity.
As soon as the imperial edict came out, the general believed it, with a look of shock on his face, and he quickly knelt down on the ground, "I am ignorant of Mount Tai, and I don't know the power of the Imperial Master. I have offended the Imperial Master, and please forgive me."
"He who doesn't know is not guilty. General, please rise up." Li Jinjiang put away the imperial edict, raised his empty hand, and lifted him up, saying: "But the poor monk has something to ask the general, why are the people, officers and soldiers here so busy?"
As far as I know, being so tired is because sleeping can kill you. Is that true?"
"I don't dare to hide it from the Imperial Master. Several strange things have happened in Mingchuan City recently. Some people died unknowingly in their sleep, and they smiled before they died. They died peacefully, without any injuries on their bodies. I don't know what kind of monster they were.
What he did made people panic and they didn't dare to sleep. Few people died, but there were still people who couldn't help sleeping and died in their sleep." The general said quickly.
Hearing this, Li Jingang frowned slightly. Based on his understanding of monsters, monsters either kill or eat people. They will not play so many tricks to harm people, for fear of monsters or other monsters harming people.
Xiao Ling'er said: "What kind of monster could be killing people in the dream?"
"Let's go! Find a place to stay first."
Li Jinjiang found a way to deal with the demon. Since he was killing people in his dream, he couldn't lure him out while he was sleeping. He was going to find an inn to stay in. The reason why he didn't go to the county government office was because he didn't want to attract more people's attention.
In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, there are not only demons and ghosts who want to eat his flesh, there are also people who want to eat his flesh.
When I arrived at an inn, there was no one else in the inn except the waiter and the innkeeper. People in the city were not sleeping, so who would stay at the inn?
They walked into the inn, and the listless waiter and shopkeeper didn't notice them. They were drowsy and held on, not daring to let themselves fall asleep.
"Amitabha." A Buddha's voice fell into the ears of the two of them, and they instantly became energetic and lost their sleepiness.
The shopkeeper hurriedly came forward to greet him and said: "Master has come from afar, please come in quickly."
He said to the waiter at the side: "Why don't you hurry up and prepare vegetarian food for the master?"
"I am a poor monk who is not a vegetarian. Give me two kilograms of beef and a jug of wine. Then open four upper rooms and send the wine and food to my room." Li Jingang said with a smile.
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "Okay, I'll deliver it right away."
"I want twenty pounds of beef and five jars of fine wine." Wu Dao said.
As for Dao Chen and Xiao Ling'er, they don't eat these common wine and meat, which is of no benefit to them. As for the God Donkey Tianzun, he has disappeared again, and he doesn't know where he went to steal food.
After eating and drinking enough, Li Jingang lay down on the bed to sleep. He had not slept for an unknown amount of time. He meditated and practiced every night, and soon fell asleep.
But we came to a terrifying place like hell.
"The holy monk is so brave, he dares to come into his dream. Now that he's here, don't even think about leaving." A man with purple hair and red eyes and horns on his head appeared, followed by a large number of people with horns, who rushed up to kill him.
He surrounded him.
Li Jingang said: "You are the one who harmed others in their sleep. You are neither human nor demon, nor a demon, but you exude a disgusting and evil aura. Are you the legendary one who has disappeared for a long time?"
One of the hundred tribes of demons?"
"The Holy Monk has good eyesight. I am a dream demon, one of the four demon kings under the Demon Ancestor. Speaking of which, my Demon Clan and Buddhism also have ten thousand years of grudges. Thousands of years ago, the Demon Ancestor was suppressed by the Buddha. The Demon Clan
Defeat, Buddhism is booming in this era, how can I, the demon clan, make you realize your wish? In the dream, I am the master." Dream Demon said.
"Really? The young monk is not talented. He has practiced thirty-six volumes of Buddhist sutras. One of the scriptures is the True Sutra of Enlightenment in a Dream, which is the enlightenment in a dream. I don't know whether you are more powerful or the young monk is more powerful." Li Jingang
Said calmly.
"You actually practiced the Great Dream True Sutra." Dream Demon's expression changed. He was practicing the Demon Clan's supreme skill, the Nightmare Soul-Seizing Technique, but the Buddhist Great Dream True Sutra was his nemesis. Thousands of years ago,
He fell into the hands of the Golden Pond Ancient Buddha of Buddhism and said: "So what if you practice the Great Dream Enlightenment Sutra? With your cultivation of the fifth level of Yangshen Realm, can you defeat me?"
"Come on." With a wave of his hand, his demon soldiers attacked Li Jingang.
He struck out with a palm, directly beating a demon soldier to dust. In his dream, his fighting body was useless.
"Buddha's Dharma is boundless." With one palm strike, countless rays of Buddha's light shot out, killing these demon soldiers. The seventy-two stunts are Buddhist martial arts. You can still perform the seventy-two stunts with your magic power.
The dream demon personally took action and transformed into a terrifying illusion, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, countless demons crawled out of hell, and a giant skeleton made of bones and skeletons slashed at him with a bone knife.
He sat cross-legged, and a hundred-foot-long golden body of merit appeared. The golden light of merit was impervious to all means. Demons and skeleton monsters were all turned into ashes under the golden light of merit, and the illusion was destroyed without any attack.
"Golden Body of Merit." The dream demon looked shocked. He never expected that he had cultivated the Golden Body of Merit, one of the three major golden bodies of Buddhism. With the Golden Body of Merit to protect his body, he could not hurt him at all.
"Although I can't hurt you, I can capture your companions. Do you think that if they don't sleep, I can't do anything to them? Let you see my true methods."
The dream demon suddenly disappeared, but it trapped Li Jingang in a dream and prevented him from getting out. Although he couldn't hurt him, he could trap him.
"This dream demon is one of the four demon kings under Demon Ancestor Shenni. He should be quite capable. This should be just one of his dharma bodies, not his true body, otherwise I would not be my opponent at all."
The Demon Ancestor was a powerful existence that could be the enemy of the Buddha. He almost became the Taoist Ancestor. As his subordinate, even if he is not a saint, he is at least a semi-saint. It is impossible to be so weak. The only explanation is that this is not the deity, but
It is a Dharmakaya, maybe not even a Dharmakaya, just a clone.
There is a big difference between the Dharma body and the clone. The Dharma body is equivalent to another self. When the main body dies, the Dharma body still exists, but the clone is different. When the main body dies, the clone will disappear and cease to exist. Cultivation of the Dharma body
Because it can be stronger than the original deity, the clone is always weaker than the original deity and cannot surpass the original deity.
Although he has practiced the Great Dream Demonstration Sutra, he is just a beginner and is not proficient in it. He cannot break the dreams created by the dream demon. He has merit and a golden body to protect his body. The dream demon cannot hurt him, but it can trap him. Xiao Ling'er
They were in danger, and he had to leave the dreamland as soon as possible.
Start practicing the Great Dream Enlightenment Sutra and use dreams to break dreams.
The dream demon attacked Dao Chen, Wu Dao and Xiao Ling'er. The nightmare soul-stealing technique he practiced could not only be used in people's dreams. If so, those practitioners would not have to sleep. How could his technique be used?
It's not useless. The nightmare soul-stealing technique can force people into dreams, and can make practitioners have nightmares and become possessed.
"Tai Shang Wang Qing, this person is a disciple of Tai Shang Dao Sect, and he has actually cultivated into Tai Shang Wang Qing." The nightmare soul-stealing method of the dream demon is useless to Dao Chen. Tai Shang Wang Qing, ruthless and desireless, cannot be used in any illusion or nightmare.
Nothing to do with him.
And Xiao Ling'er is also following the path of heaven and man, which is similar to that of Taishang Wangqing. In the end, she is ruthless and has no desire. But now she is in the stage of being sentimental and has not yet cut off the root of love. She has entered the state of ruthlessness and cannot escape.
Nightmare. Wu Dao has a strong aura of violence, but he is the easiest person to fall into nightmares.
