Chapter 169 Before Falling Sword Lake, singled out the master
"You asked about the relationship between the Witch God and Ying Banzi?"
Po Meng seemed a little surprised by Jiang Chaoge's question, but after a moment of silence she still said: "As far as I know, there is no relationship between the witch god and his son-in-law Ying."
Doesn't matter?!
This answer is obviously wrong.
Because Jiang Chaoge had seen Sword Spirit in the world of Emperor Wu Sword, and Sword Spirit also mentioned the Witch God and called the Witch God 'Brother Wu'.
How could there be no relationship between the two?
Just thinking about it...
Po Meng said again: "Oh, I remembered it! There is indeed some relationship between the Witch God and Ying Banzi."
"What's the relationship?" Jiang Chaoge immediately asked again.
"If I remember correctly, the Witch God was sealed by Winning Banzi."
"..."
This is... an enemy?!
Although this answer was still unexpected by Jiang Chaoge, it was still considered 'reasonable'.
After all, according to Po Meng, Ying Banzi's strength had reached the realm of immortality, and if the Witch God was still in the human world, how could there be no conflict between the two?
One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers...
After Jiang Chaoge thought for a moment, he asked again: "My mother-in-law said that my son-in-law Ying sealed the Witch God, but I don't know...when did he seal the Witch God? Was it before the First Emperor's ascension or after his ascension?"
"After ascension." Po Meng confirmed.
"Mother-in-law...are you sure you remember correctly?"
"Of course, I remember very clearly that Ying Banzi entered the underworld, tore out a page from the Book of Life and Death, and then rushed to the southern region to fight the Witch God. After that, he sealed the Witch God, and then he died.
"
"Wait a minute, my mother-in-law said that my son-in-law died after sealing the Witch God? How long was the interval between the two?"
"Three to five days." Po Meng thought for a while and replied: "Actually, when our son-in-law Ying entered the underworld, we already knew that his life was approaching, and then he tore off the "Book of Life and Death", and we all
I thought he would continue to live, but in the end, he went to the Southern Region to fight the Witch God, and then died."
"But didn't my mother-in-law say that he was probably not dead?"
"Yes...but this is just my guess." After Meng Po finished speaking, she added: "With the character of Winner, I guess he is planning something!"
"..."
Jiang Chaoge stopped asking any more questions.
Because, he felt that if he wanted to truly understand this matter, perhaps he could only find out by going to the Southern Region and meeting the Witch God.
…
After the matter was settled, Jiang Chaoge said goodbye to Po Meng and left the underworld.
But on the Naihe Bridge, Po Meng looked at Jiang Chaoge's disappearing back, her eyes a little dull: "Is it really him? Why... doesn't he remember anything?"
After saying that, she stretched out her hand and made a move towards Naihe Bridge.
Wow!
The sound of water is everywhere.
A picture scroll flew out of the river and fell into Po Meng's hands.
The scroll unfolds.
Inside was an almost middle-aged man.
He wore a golden crown on his head, a black dragon robe on his body, and held the Emperor Wu Sword in his hand. In front of him were kneeling the Ten Directions Yama and countless ghosts.
He stood in front of the Senluo Palace in the underworld, with a look of peerless arrogance on his face.
He is the winning son-in-law of Emperor Qin Wu!
Po Meng's hand gently touched the scroll, and then she bit her lips and clenched her fists: "Win my son, the fall of the Qin Dynasty is an arrangement of heaven, you can't stop it, it's impossible!
!”
…
Returned to the capital again.
Jiang Chaoge returned the Emperor Wu Sword to Jiang Yu'er, and then he found Wu Lingzi.
"Little sister, I want to go on a long trip."
"Where are you going, brother?" Wu Lingzi was a little surprised: "Now is the time when hundreds of families gather in Jixia. Don't you want to watch tomorrow's debate?"
"No more, I still have some things to deal with." Jiang Chaoge shook his head.
"In that case... do you want me to go with my brother?" After Wu Lingzi finished speaking, he added: "If there is any danger on the road, it would be nice to have someone to take care of you?"
"Forget it, I have a long way to go, so my little sister will wait for me to come back in the capital." Jiang Chaoge rejected Wu Lingzi's suggestion: "Besides, the Dao Sect cannot do without my little sister now."
"Okay, brother, be careful along the way!" Wu Lingzi said nothing more.
Jiang Chaoge, on the other hand, directly took out the token of the Japanese Parade God and started on his way.
If he had only one 'person', he would definitely not leave the capital now. At least he would not rush to the Southern Region until Jixia's debate was over.
But he is not alone.
Things in the capital have nothing to do with him.
Therefore, he decided not to wait any longer and went directly to the Southern Territory to meet the ‘Witch God’.
However, before going to the Southern Territory.
He intended to go to Luojian Lake to see if there was a chance... to get the last bronze man.
…
The night is lonely.
The bright moon hangs high in the sky.
Jixia Academy.
Jiang Chaoge directly chose to walk in through the gate.
Now that hundreds of schools have gathered in Jixia, there are many more strangers in Jixia Academy. However, the defense has not been strengthened because everyone knows that there is a master in Jixia Academy.
As long as you have a master, there will be no problems.
Because Jiang Chaoge followed the Taoist gate during the day, he was not blocked when entering Jixia, and the process went smoothly.
But he also knew that all of this was under the Master's "watching".
However, he didn't pay too much attention and walked directly towards the location of Luojian Lake.
Because he held the token of the Japanese Parade God in his hand, his speed was much faster than usual, and he had arrived at the lake in less than a quarter of an hour.
Looking at the ripples of Luojian Lake in the night, Jiang Chaoge chose to jump directly!
After all, he has waterbending!
…
Jump into the lake following Jiang Chaoge.
On the top of the mountain of books, a pair of slightly closed eyes suddenly opened.
The Master stood up.
He looked deeply at Jiang Chaoge who had dived into the water in Luojian Lake, his white robe fluttering in the night wind.
"interesting!"
After saying that, the white robe disappeared.
Then, in front of Luojian Lake, an old man appeared.
Master has arrived at Luojian Lake.
However, he did not jump down like Jiang Chaoge, but said to Luojian Lake: "Since your Excellency has a relationship with the Taoist sect, you will be a guest when you arrive at Jixia. If you want to visit Luojian Lake at night, you can talk to me.
Say hello, but I won’t necessarily stop you.”
Naturally, this was meant for Jiang Chaoge.
However, Jiang Chaoge ignored it completely.
Because he couldn't explain the reason for entering the lake, he could only search at the bottom of the lake as much as possible within a limited time to see if he could find the "Bronze Man" or find some clues?
…
The bottom of the lake is very dark.
But for Jiang Chaoge, it was nothing.
Waterbending allows him to clearly see everything at the bottom of the lake.
However, Luojian Lake is really big. He has not reached the center of the lake yet, and can only see the black mud on the edge of the lake, and long swords that have fallen to the bottom of the lake.
"Generally speaking, the center of the lake is the key point!"
Jiang Chaoge speeded up his swimming and swam quickly toward the center of the lake.
When the master on the bank saw that Jiang Chaoge didn't respond, he frowned slightly: "It seems... Your Excellency is a little ignorant."
Say it.
The master slapped his palm on the lake.
The originally turbulent lake surface immediately stopped surging like ice.
The entire lake seemed to be covered with a thick layer of ice. This ice not only condensed on the surface of the lake, but also penetrated deep into the bottom of the lake.
Jiang Chaoge didn't feel any chill, he just... couldn't swim anymore.
Because all the lake water is 'condensed' together.
What he felt now was not that of being trapped in mud, but of being directly trapped inside a 'stone'.
"Master is Master... the first person among the immortals is indeed not a boaster!"
The last time at the top of the Book Mountain, the Master spilled a cup of tea, and it turned into a rain of tea, which already made Jiang Chaoge feel the Master's strength.
However, after all, it wasn’t a ‘fight’ last time, so I don’t know how powerful it is.
And this time...
His feelings were different.
When he was in Jiangxia Village, Jiang Chaoge single-handedly fought against two great wizards from the Southern Region, which made him involuntarily feel a little 'inflated'.
However, now facing the Master...
Only then did he know what the real gap in strength was.
"To deal with the great wizard of the Southern Territory, I can still rely on my immortality to wear him to death, but when facing the master... hard wear and tear will probably have no effect."
This is like fighting a boss in an online game. If your attack power can make the opponent lose blood, then you can rely on the crowd tactics to slowly kill the boss.
But if the boss's blood regeneration speed is faster than the effect of your attack, how do you grind it?
…
Jiang Chaoge could no longer hide.
There was no other way but to forcefully escape from the bottom of the lake.
"boom!"
The lake exploded.
The originally flowing lake water broke into pieces like stones.
Jiang Chaoge stood on the lake, looking at the Master on the shore: "So it was the Master who came here and attacked me for some reason? I just wanted to take a swim."
"Swimming in autumn?" The master narrowed his eyes.
"No way?" Jiang Chaoge looked innocent: "Someone stipulates that you can't swim in autumn?"
"Since it's swimming, why don't you take off your clothes and use waterbending to control the water of the lake?" the master asked again.
"Someone stipulates that you must take off your clothes when swimming, and you can't use waterbending?"
"Haha, Your Excellency's eloquence is quite good." The master smiled, and then said: "However, the time has not yet come for you to want the things in Luojian Lake."
"Oh? Is there something in this Luojian Lake?"
"Yes." The Master nodded: "There is a bronze figure."
Jiang Chaoge understood... The Master knew about the existence of the Bronze Figure, and, not surprisingly, the Master was the guard of the last Bronze Figure.
Now that the master has opened the skylight and spoken frankly.
Jiang Chaoge felt that there was no need to pretend any longer and asked directly: "Master, why did you tell this matter?"
"Because, I heard that you defeated two wizards from the Southern Region when you were in Hanzhong County." The Master said, "Moreover, you also have a token of the Japanese Patrol Envoy in your hand. You should be a shady person in the world."
"I see." Jiang Chaoge nodded, and then asked: "It seems that Master does not think that I am an enemy. In that case, I want to know when is the right time to come and get this bronze man."
"I don't know." The master shook his head: "I only know that when the time comes, the bronze man will naturally surface and you can take it out."
"Thank you, Master, for your advice." Jiang Chaoge turned around and left without asking any more questions.
The master didn't stop him, he just watched Jiang Chaoge's leaving figure quietly, and then, in a flash, he disappeared on the shore again.
Jiang Chaoge has no intention of staying in the capital anymore.
The bronze figure at the bottom of Luojian Lake is guarded by Master, so no one should be able to take it for the time being.
After one trial, he had nothing to think about anymore, so he directly tightened the jade talisman of the Japanese Patrol Envoy and hurried towards the southern region.
…
It's time for the next day.
The debate begins again.
Everything was as Jiang Yuer expected.
Buddhism's goal is not to determine the winner immediately. He is waiting for the changes in the battle situation on the border.
Therefore, today's Buddhism has changed from yesterday's strong posture and is only debating with various schools of thought on Buddhism.
Moreover, the most important thing is that Buddhism has no intention of arguing with Jiang Yuer anymore.
This disappointed all the scholars who had been waiting eagerly for it.
Because, they originally wanted to see if there would be any more problems in Buddhism today, but in fact, Buddhism showed quite humility today.
As a result, this debate also began to approach various schools of thought.
Of course, Buddhism is still the main focus.
However, he became a Buddhist to preside over hundreds of schools of thought.
Mo Jian found an opportunity and put forward the Mohist idea - universal love!
Buddhism answers: Those who love universally love all sentient beings. This is the same as the purpose of Buddhism, which is to save all sentient beings.
Then, Buddhism began to quote scriptures and propagate Buddhism.
The difference is that Buddhism no longer argues that there is anything wrong with the Mohist idea of universal love. Instead, it is like admiring and attributes Buddhism and the 'dharma' of various schools of thought to the same stream.
In this way, all the schools of thought will be unable to find a way to defeat Buddhism.
Because, if you say that Buddhism's idea of universal salvation is wrong, it is equivalent to saying that Mohism's idea of universal love is wrong, and then you have to argue with both Buddhism and Mohism at the same time.
Fenglingzi, Wu Lingzi and others were a little puzzled: "Yesterday the Buddhist debate was against Taoism, but today the Buddhist debate is in line with hundreds of schools of thought. What is this Buddhist school doing?"
Jin Lingzi was still very steady. He just shook his head when he heard this: "Tao is natural. Buddhism proposes to exchange and argue with various schools of thought. What they want to do is their business. We just have to let nature take its course.
"
Luo Yu had an exchange with Jiang Yu'er yesterday and naturally saw the problem: "Teacher, this Buddhist school seems to be prolonging the debate time."
"Yes." The old man nodded: "I didn't expect that you are usually playful, but you are very accurate in this matter. Buddhism does have the intention of delaying time."
"Then what should we do?" Luo Yu asked again.
"What can't be done? Buddhism changes the term 'host debate' to 'presiding over', so that hundreds of schools of argument can be carried out smoothly, which is not necessarily a bad thing."
"Oh." Luo Yu said no more, but looked at Jiang Yu'er who was sitting not far away, and then said, "Teacher, should I go and sit over there?"
"Pay attention to your identity."
"knew."
Luo Yu quietly ran to Jiang Yu'er and sat down.
As soon as he sat down, he leaned into Jiang Yu'er's ear and said, "The Buddhists want to delay time. You must have a way to embarrass them, right?"
