Wuxu carefully looked at the accompanying demon cultivators at the table, and he saw some clues.
Each of their eyes is strangely calm, but from time to time they reveal something different, secretly amused, suspicious, and repulsive. They seem to have just adapted to their new identities, and there are always some weird subconscious actions, especially
After drinking.
Who were they before? It is unknown.
Perhaps to compensate or win over Wuxu, Cao Jiyun gave Wuxu another short incense stick. The thin bamboo stick was wrapped in a thin layer of black powder and had some fine lines like ghost drawings on it. He told Wuxu that if he wanted to contact him,
For the Huangquan Sect, go to Yongdu Temple in the east of the capital and light this incense in the main hall.
Later, Cao Jiyun's words became more "defying the heavens", and he even said bluntly to Wuxu that today's sect is too old-fashioned and rigid, with strict hierarchies and no freedom that monks should have, and monks are increasingly nostalgic for power and wealth.
Lost his due pursuit... In the end, he actually said that if the Anti-Tian Alliance does not change, he will make Taiyuan Prefecture independent, just like Yongzhou.
However, Wuxu echoed from the side and made some shocking remarks. Fairy Yu and Li Mingshan were stunned for a moment.
After leaving Taiyuan Mansion, Fairy Yu couldn't help but smile and asked, "Unexpectedly, we had a very happy conversation this time."
Wuxu stopped and looked ahead. After a moment, he slowly said, "This person is not simple. He has a big chest and high aspirations."
"This person seems to be the new master of the palace. He has forgotten everything and is in a daze," Li Mingshan said bluntly, "What he said is so false and empty-handed, too idealistic and too extreme. No wonder he is called a demon cultivator."
After all, she was still a little bit upset about the fact that the members of the mission were almost wiped out.
"You can't live without being crazy and a demon." Wu Xu replied quietly, "This is especially true for monks. It's too cold at high places. If you don't study well and don't cultivate well, you should die without regrets."
Li Mingshan glanced at Wuxu but said nothing.
However, Wuxu felt the strangeness in her eyes.
I realize that I am suffering from it all my life, silently and silently.
.......
The three of them walked in silence and arrived at Luoying Mansion.
Because of the Luo River, both sides became increasingly prosperous, and several Tongxuan major cultivators emerged one after another, named Luoying Mansion. This Luoying Mansion had a transcendent status during the Zhou Dynasty. Now, the headquarters of the Defying Heaven Alliance has also moved here.
The three of them originally planned to bypass Luoying Mansion and go straight to the capital of the former Great Zhou Dynasty. However, they saw monks flying into the city along the way, as if there was some grand meeting, so they stopped a monk and asked, and it turned out that it was the Anti-Tian Alliance who was there.
Luoying Mansion discovered a new foreign land, and it was said that in order to resist the opening of books in Tianren Academy, the Anti-Tian Alliance opened this foreign land to the outside world. This was a huge event. Wuxu and the other two people immediately decided to enter this foreign land.
When you look at Luoying Fucheng, you will find a new and strange place here.
Entering Fucheng, there was already a long queue inside. After asking again, it turned out that there was a fee, one hundred spiritual stones for half an hour. It was not bad, it was not expensive. The monks were very efficient, and they were in the queue in a short time. Enlightenment
The three of them each paid six hundred spirit stones, and then were led into a quiet room. The quiet room that was obviously arranged on the spot was empty, with a futon on the ground and a wall facing the small door.
On it, there is a raised bead, flashing with brilliance.
Wuxu followed the explanation and slowly put his spiritual consciousness into the ball. Just like the previous times, his spiritual consciousness was pulled by an inexplicable force, wandering through layers of strange invisible obstacles, feeling the
It took a while before it stopped.
But "before my eyes" was a blur, unlike the previous times. I couldn't see or hear clearly, but I had a very clear feeling that there was indeed a strange place ahead, or another world.
At this time, a vague voice sounded, reminding you to increase your spiritual awareness and watch carefully.
At this moment, Wuxu had lost the connection with the sea conch, so he rashly increased his investment in spiritual consciousness, especially the continuous investment in spiritual consciousness. He would be taking a big risk here. Wuxu hesitated for a moment and took half of the medicine.
A nine-turn rejuvenation elixir, while refining the elixir, it is constantly investing in spiritual consciousness.
As the spiritual consciousness continued to be invested, a place in front of him gradually became clear, and then gradually expanded as the spiritual consciousness was invested. But Wuxu secretly complained, and became more vigilant in his heart. The spiritual consciousness was consumed a lot, and every little bit spread,
This required a lot of spiritual consciousness. When Wuxu finished refining half of the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill, a clear picture the size of a bronze mirror appeared "in front of his eyes".
It seemed to be a bamboo forest, purple. Then, there was a strange fragrance. Then, there was the faint sound of chanting sutras.
This doesn’t seem to be the future world I’m familiar with! This is it?
Suddenly, the scene suddenly zoomed out, showing a statue of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, sitting on a lotus throne among auspicious clouds.
This is Guanyin Bodhisattva! Purple Bamboo Forest!
Wuxu was inexplicably shocked!
At this time, Guanshiyin Bodhisattva seemed to feel something, and actually looked at Wuxu and smiled compassionately.
Then, the picture collapsed, and Wuxu's spiritual consciousness flew back involuntarily, and instantly returned to the sea of consciousness. In the sea of consciousness, the golden lotus in the sea of suffering, the brilliance of the sea, grew a lot; the nine leaves of the golden lotus were different from the past. Wuxu's spirit flew back upside down.
Consciousness, return to the sea of consciousness, fall directly on the golden lotus
Above. Immediately afterwards, Wuxu's entire body of spiritual consciousness was sitting on the nine-leaf golden lotus. He could not help but bind his hands inside, forming the heart seal of the Holy Avalokitesvara Lotus. Countless insights emerged immediately; it was like Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva just looked at himself.
One glance is the supreme blessing and empowerment.
The body of Wuxu's spiritual consciousness was on the golden lotus. He suddenly opened his eyes and recited the six-character Great Ming Mantra. All the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas
The Dharma appears. Every time you recite it, there are different Dharma appearances of different Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, each explaining the essence of the Dharma.
Wuxu suddenly burst into tears, feeling that he had to make a firm decision.
This was the second real and intimate contact between me and Guanyin Bodhisattva. The first time, it was Guanyin Bodhisattva who incarnated into an old man and gave me a sound conch. This time, it was Guanyin Bodhisattva who faced me from afar, smiling.
Vision, supreme blessing. All Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are ultimately real and not false. From this, it can be inferred that gods are also real and not false existences.
Foreign lands appear in many places, such as Yichun City, Jueshen Valley, and Yuhu. They are all the future world that he is familiar with. There are no gods and Buddhas, no practice, only technology; but here, Wuxu can see the foreign lands with his own eyes.
One is the world of spiritual practice, and the other is the world of technology. Would you rather live in the world of spiritual practice? Or would you rather live in the world of technology? The world of spiritual practice and the world of technology are both full of imagination and lack of freedom.
For Wuxu today, the world of cultivation seems to be more worth having. In the world of monks, he seems to live more freely and harmoniously.
This kind of freedom is reflected in the fact that once you have it, it is your own and you don’t need to ask anyone. For example, flying, you can practice and fly, or you can fly through technology, but if you can fly by practicing by yourself, it is naturally more
free.
This kind of harmony is reflected in the fact that your own body and mind can develop in an all-round way. When you are successful in practice, you will definitely overcome many obsessions, coordinate your body and mind, and combine your spirit and body. You are always a whole, a small universe. But technology
The world is different. As long as you stand out a little, the more you stand out, the better. The so-called paranoid can succeed, but in fact it means being alienated. As long as you have money, you can get anything, but many times, you lose it unknowingly.
Losing one's true nature, one may even become a slave to external objects.
Of course, the world of technology also has its own special charm and advantages. Through excellent systems and mechanisms, technology can be completely passed on, shared, and popularized without any obstacles, and ordinary people can gain great freedom, enjoyment, respect, and protection.
Civilization has been in an upward spiral process for a long time.
...
After leaving the Luoying Mansion, Wuxu was still in a daze. Fairy Yu and Li Mingshan also seemed to have their own thoughts.
The three of them still walked in silence. After a while, they seemed to wake up from a dream.
"I wonder what you two have experienced in this foreign land?" Wuxu suddenly asked.
Fairy Yu and Li Mingshan were shocked when they heard this. They looked at each other and then at Wuxu, who hesitated to speak.
Finally, Li Mingshan spoke in a strange tone, "Fairy Yu and I saw a strange and terrifying world, and it seemed to be the future world. In that future world, there were no monks, only ordinary people, those ordinary people.
, Everyone can travel to the sky and the sea, send messages thousands of miles away, regenerate bones and muscles, and possess weapons that are so powerful that they can kill gods."
The future world? It turns out that what they saw was different from their own. It was the world they lived in in their previous lives. Wu Xu suddenly realized.
No wonder they looked like this. If the future world was like this, how could they not lose their composure as monks? The gods didn't see it, but they found that there would be no monks in the future.
Wuxu then smiled and said, "Buddha said that there are three thousand or even ten thousand worlds in Saha. The world he sees is only one world."
"This is really a word that awakens the dreamer." Fairy Yu suddenly smiled at Li Mingshan, "Buddha said that there are three thousand worlds, endless and different, and such strange things are insignificant."
Li Mingshan was silent for a moment, then she smiled and said, "That's it! I thought that in the future, monks like us would be extinct."
"Speaking of the past and the future, this world is not that world." Wuxu immediately spoke to comfort him, "I just saw a place of Buddha land. Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva was in the purple bamboo forest, with a majestic appearance, and he even glanced at me."
Fairy Yu and Li Mingshan couldn't help but laugh, thinking it was Wuxu's witticism.
Wuxu didn't explain anymore. It was just good for everyone to be happy. There was no need to talk about serious and heavy topics.
"Are you Master Wuxu?" Suddenly, an old man in plain robes stood in front of Wuxu with an air of immortality and unfathomable cultivation.
Wuxu was startled and hurriedly put his palms together and saluted, "This young monk is Wuxu. I dare to ask my senior about his name."
Fairy Yu and Li Mingshan immediately reacted and each bowed respectfully.
The old man put his hands behind his back and said, "Follow me." But he took the opportunity and walked towards the nearest restaurant.
In the elegant room of the restaurant, Wuxu and the other three respectfully sat down with the old man.
The old man flicked his sleeves and a tea set appeared on the table.
"I never drink alcohol, I only like to drink tea." The old man said lightly.
Without seeing any movement, Wuxu and the other three saw the teacups in front of them filling up instantly, as if they were rising from the bottom up.
Seeing that the old man didn't introduce it, Wuxu was a little curious, so he couldn't help but pick up the tea cup and took a sip. After taking this sip, Wuxu's expression became more exciting, and then he choked and almost spit out.
Next to them, Fairy Yu and Li Mingshan saw this, and their expressions changed involuntarily.
But then Wuxu said to the old man in surprise and joy, "This is the best West Lake Longjing! Good tea, good tea!"
Fairy Yu and Li Mingshan had never heard of West Lake Longjing. But after hearing this, the old man showed a smile and asked, "Just now you said you saw Guanyin Bodhisattva?"
Wuxu solemnly places
Nodding, "I don't dare to speak nonsense, little monk."
"Rare! Rare! Rare!" The old man said three rare words in a row, and then took out a bamboo slip, "One thought will make you a Buddha, and another thought will turn you into a demon. I have studied many Buddhist classics in my early years. This bamboo slip is what I studied after studying that year.
, a lot of insights have been put into it.”
Wuxu was solemn and took it respectfully. He was about to open it and take a closer look. But the old man stopped him and said, "I'll look at it later."
Fairy Yu and Li Mingshan immediately looked at their noses and sat upright without squinting.
The old man smiled and asked, "Are you going to participate in the competition?"
Wuxu immediately replied, "We have been living in Yongzhou for a long time, and when the meeting happened to happen, we were very quiet and thought about it, but I don't know what the seniors have to do?"
The old man took out another writing brush and said, "This is something I carry with me. It's called a broken brush. It can break many Taoist restrictions."
Broken pen? Fairy Yu and Li Mingshan couldn't help but look at each other, their eyes filled with shock. Apparently, they guessed the identity of the old man from this.
Wuxu has always been careless and arrogant. He never inquires about the Six Sects' Tongxuan overhaul, so he is still a little ignorant. But this time, Wuxu knows something that Fairy Yu and Li Mingshan don't know.
.
West Lake Longjing, this is a famous tea in the human world. When the old man took it out, he was actually hinting at his identity. This old man is a demon cultivator from the Heaven-defying Alliance, and a Tongxuan demon cultivator. The most important thing is that it is hinting that he is also a demon cultivator.
A monk who came up from the human world.
Wuxu clasped his hands together and said, "The elder gave it to me and I dare not refuse it. But this thing is the one that the senior carried with him. It is too precious and Wuxu is afraid."
"If you can see Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, you can certainly afford it." The old man said this and disappeared immediately.
Such a sentence, even if it comes from the mouth of a Tongxuan master, always feels a bit strange.
The old man in Wuxu Dingding was about to speak but stopped.
"This strange realm in Luoying Mansion has only appeared recently. It can only be opened in the Zhoutian Star Formation." The old man knew that the three of them had a lot of confusion, so he added, "In the past few days, I have been in Zhoutian.
The Heavenly Star Formation Doupogong has been responsible for this matter. All those who enter the alien world see and hear the so-called technological world without monks. It was not until your spiritual consciousness entered that there were visions in the sky and changes in the alien realm.
That’s why I came down all the way just now.”
Wuxu was startled and seemed to understand something, but then he asked, "Senior, have you ever entered the first level of consciousness?"
The old man understood what Wuxu wanted to ask, and shook his head with a wry smile, "Several friends and I have all experienced spiritual consciousness, and more than once." The implication is that what they were observing was also the world of technology.
"How could this happen?" Li Mingshan couldn't help but exclaimed.
Previously, Fairy Yu and Li Mingshan thought that only the two of them were like this, but they didn't expect that except for Wuxu, everyone else was like this, even the famous Tongxuan Demon Cultivator of the Defying Heaven Alliance, Doubo Demon Lord, and others.
The same is true for several Tongxuan major cultivators.
Practitioners may not necessarily believe in cause and effect, but they all agree with the divine signs and omens without exception. The so-called cultivation means cultivating the Tao in one's heart, and every step of practice is a process of conforming to the Tao. The Tao is invisible.
, but it is omnipresent and present all the time. And the so-called divine omens are the feedback and prompts given by the great road. What everyone sees now is a world of technology and a world without monks. Is this okay?
However, he saw the Demon Lord Dou Po point his finger at Li Mingshan's forehead.
Li Mingshan woke up as if from a dream. After thanking her, she immediately sat on the ground with a pale face.
On the other hand, Fairy Yu, who seemed to be majoring in illusion, was still standing there steadily, but her expression was extremely solemn.
Wuxu had a clear view of the situation of the two of them, and then continued his previous explanation in front of the Demon King, "It must be because that world is relatively close to this world."
This statement is unscientific, or should not come from a monk at all. How can two worlds in different time and space be simply compared to each other?
"Although you can see Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, you don't have to cover it up like this." The Demon Lord Dou Po sneered, "Now, we, Tongxuan Daxiong, have reached a consensus. Such heavenly secrets indicate that the three stars in the sky are extremely promising.
Maybe there will be no spiritual energy, no monks, and eventually it will become a technological world controlled by ordinary people."
"This is impossible!" Wuxu said hurriedly.
The Dou Po Demon Lord looked at Wuxu and showed a smile of relief, "The Heavenly Demons and the others did not misjudge you, and I did not misjudge you either. You don't have to worry about this competition, just go ahead." After that,
He stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and chanted silently.
If you are unable to do something, you should seek help from yourself instead.
It is not tied to the outside world, it is for cultivation.
Wuxu stood solemnly, put his palms together and thanked him, which was extremely solemn.
"Senior Doupo Demon Lord, many of his words are like charades." Fairy Yu waited for the figure of Doupo Demon Lord to completely disappear with the last few obscure words, then she smiled at Wu Xu and asked, "Is it possible?
Is this the source of the great calamity? How should master deal with it?"
Wuxu then asked, "If it really happened, what choice would a fairy make in the world of monks or the world of science and technology?"
"My fairy, I am used to being carefree and free. I can fly when I want. If I lose my spiritual energy and all my cultivation, I can only fly with those ordinary people who have many complicated and complicated restrictions. I would rather die!" Fairy Yu!
, replied with a smile, but his tone was very sonorous.
"The same is true for the young monk." Wuxu murmured to himself, "What we practice is to understand our mind and see our nature, and what we practice is to be free and easy. Without freedom, we would rather die!"
