Chapter 95: Three Bells Protecting the Way, Sword Furnace Refining Demons
The Seven Hate Demon Lord has two obvious ways to get rid of the fate of the Demon Ancestor returning.??? 69 ??? M ???
One way is, of course, to make it impossible for the Demon Ancestor to return, and to find ways to sabotage the Demon Ancestor's plan to return.
The second method is to let another demonic art replace the "Seven Hate Demonic Art" again, and squeeze the Seven Hate Demon King out of the eight places required for the return of the Demon Ancestor.
The clues given by the Seven Hate Demon Lord to Jiang Wang about "The Art of Forever Falling into the Demon of Desire in the Sea of Bitterness" also gave Jiang Wang the idea of replacing him again. Since then, he has regained his true freedom and has the possibility to go further.
But Jiang Wang doesn’t want to be the Demon King of Desire no matter what.
Today he was sitting in the Dharma Hall of the Sanxing Palace, asking three Legalist masters to witness, and did not give himself a third option.
Either succeed or become a benevolent person.
He has personally killed a real demon, and he has also witnessed the birth of a real demon. He has a certain level of understanding of demons.
A true demon-fallen person recognizes that he is a demon from the bottom of his heart and no longer regards himself as a human being. He only measures the world based on the demon's world view.
Just like the ghost dragon demon king Ao Dao. Although he is still so despicable and vicious, he is still the same Ao Dao. He is not even loyal to the demons, but he also regards himself as a demon and does not regard himself as a ghost or a dragon. (please say it separately when the situation requires it).
This is more like a fundamental change in self-perception.
In Jiang Wang's view, there is no difference between being a demon and becoming a heavenly being forever. They both retain everything including memories, but lose themselves. It's just that the latter belongs to the path of heaven, while the former belongs to the meaning of existence of "demon".
He has personally experienced the feeling of becoming a heavenly being, and now he wants to experience the feeling of falling into a demon.
He escaped from the deep sea of heaven twice, and now he has to let himself escape from the devil.
In this unprecedented and difficult challenge, the real "I" can be promoted.
He does not "know what cannot be done and does it", he "knows the difficulty and claims to be able to overcome it."

The Dharma Hall is not a prison, the human heart is its own barrier.
Jiang Wang was sitting cross-legged in the main hall, with the Three Flavors True Furnace suspended in front of him. In the furnace was the "Sea of Bitterness and the Art of Eternal Desire Demons". He kneaded the Heavenly Wind Dao Jue with his left hand and placed it flat on his knees. His right hand, with his index and middle fingers together, stood vertically on The shamisen shrine.
This is [Sword Pointer Furnace].
The dark magic power scroll was floating in the furnace, and strands of black magic spirit shrouded it like smoke. One of them was particularly slender. At this moment, Jingran left the magic power scroll and was led out of the three-flavor furnace. Hovering on the fingertips of Jiang Wang's erect sword, it twisted like a spiritual snake. The exaggerated smile that occasionally broke out proved that it came from the "Happy Demon".
The three Legalist masters all stared at Jiang Wang, never leaving their eyes for a moment. Their gazes were especially solemn at this moment - don't look at such a slender wisp of evil spirit. Once it flies out of here and falls into the world of mortals, it will be like a dragon entering the sea. All desires are gone. The completeness of the magic power and its dangers will be far beyond what Zhi Ning can compare with.
Of course, Jiang Wang would not let this wisp of evil spirit wander around naked for a long time. If he looked carefully, he could find that there was always a layer of golden fire on the outside. It was just too hidden to be noticed, and the king of the heart was also the fire. It is called the divine fire, and its name is Rishangwei.
After the "Sea of Bitterness and Eternal Desire Demon Art" was completed, it was not an easy task to extract this ray of joy and demonic intention alone. It took Jiang Wang three full days and three nights to complete it.
Then the above-mentioned real fire wraps the joyful and demonic thoughts, uses the sword finger as the furnace, the heart fire as the flame, and the sky wind as the help, and starts the long refining process again.
Jiang Wangrong allowed nine days for this first ray of demonic intent to fuse. With his life span of one autumn, he had to fight for every cent. The fact that he could still carve out nine days showed the importance of this step.
He took his time, even though death was close at hand.
He closed his eyes and studied on his own. Han Shentu did not think that Jiang Wang would succeed. He was a Legalist cultivator and did not talk about "belief". He only talked about evidence and facts. The fact is that there has not been a clear answer in history so far. Records of people who escaped from the supreme demonic power.
But looking at Jiang Wang, who had been practicing self-cultivation for three whole days and nights without any trace of anxiety, he felt an inexplicable belief in his heart.
No one without great wisdom and courage would be able to sit down and die calmly.
Maybe it's possible?
At a certain moment, the leader of Guitian Palace suddenly raised his eyes!
He heard a long bell ringing and saw a monk with a severed eyebrow standing in the sky above Tianxing Cliff.
The monk's voice, along with the sound of the bells, entered the Dharma Hall, saying: "Illuminated by Mount Xumi, I specially sent Zhiwen Zhong to the Sanxing Palace to protect the path of Zhenren Jiang! The person who was left behind on the Tianhe ferry was a monk from Mount Xumi. Xiangren! Zen sects throughout the ages will remember him and miss him, and may he know and hear about it!"
The bell of knowledge!
Han Shen Tu Ran!
The Three Punishments Palace emphasizes "impartial laws" and "clear and canonical punishments".
Jiang Wang practiced demonic skills in the Sanxing Palace to break the consequences of his sins, and asked the Three True Lords of Legalism to supervise him, saying that if he fell into a demon, he would die.
Although this matter was done voluntarily by Jiang Wang and there was no dispute, the Legalists could not punish him without telling the world. Not only because "punishment without telling others" does not conform to the concept of "punishment" in the Three Penal Palaces, but also because if this matter were to happen, Those who stay privately in the Dharma Hall do not respect the contribution and reputation of Taixu, the greatest arrogant person in the world, and his great reputation. He should not die in a dark room.
They made the matter public as a matter of course and made it clear to the world.
Han Shentu thought that some people might come to Tianxing Cliff to watch, but he didn't expect that Mount Xumi would directly send the treasure to protect Jiang Wang!
What respect is this!
He stepped out of the Dharma Hall in one step and flew over Tianxing Cliff, right opposite Zen Master Zhaowu.
The two exchanged greetings.
And a copper bell as small as a thumb flew past him precariously, flew into Tianxing Cliff, and flew to the Dharma Hall. May those who meditate know this!
Han Shentu was about to say something when he saw a flaming red fire cloud coming from behind Zen Master Zhaowu who looked like a distant mountain. On top of the cloud stood the Duke of Nan Chu.
Behind Zuo Xiao, there are a pair of wall figures who look like spring flowers and autumn moon. Both men and women are of first-class appearance, and both are famous for their pride. Behind them is a flying horse with four hooves with flames, pulling an extremely gorgeous carriage, and a palace. Pretending to be a beautiful woman, she is sitting in a carriage and lifts the curtain from a distance as a gift.
The eldest princess Yuyun of Chu, who almost never left the capital of Chu and was never far away from Shaoyuan, actually moved to Tianxing Cliff today!
Only then did Han Shentu feel that he was probably not as old as Wu Bing, or he had underestimated the storm that Jiang Wang's name could stir up.
"I heard that Jiang Wang is cultivating in Sanxing Palace and is seeking enlightenment in one autumn. Let's give it a try here." Zuo Xiao said slowly: "I brought my family here and want to witness the results of this autumn with my own eyes. Master Han, don't worry, we will Watching from outside the mountain, I will never interfere with the actions of the Sanxing Palace."
Sauvignon Blanc sang for Zuo Guanglie in the sky of Jingguo. Although no one from the Zuo family went to the Central Region, they all heard the sound.
This person has passed away, but I still remember him in my heart.
"My lord, you're welcome. Today's Tianxing Cliff is open to all comers. The Sanxing Palace monitors the world, and it should be monitored by the world. I'll do it one by one." Han Shentu turned around mid-sentence.
But I saw a seven-color banner cloud car falling from the clouds, and the three generations of leaders of Lingxiao Pavilion, Zhongqing and Xiaoxiao were all on the car.
Ye Qingyu saluted from a distance, but kept his manners. Jiang Anan held the car railing to prove the truth. I don't know what he was thinking. Ye Lingxiao, who had always been carefree, seemed a bit dignified today. He cupped his hands and said: "I heard that Jiang An'an is going to testify at Tianxing Cliff. He said, Lingxiao Pavilion is here to watch the ceremony."
It can be said that Jiang Wang achieved enlightenment here.
Hope your wishes come true!
Han Shentu just returned the salute and saw Jiang Mengxiong from the Eastern Kingdom, who had not appeared for a long time, walking out of the crack in the sky.
He just stood there in the air without saying a word.
The world-famous pair of tiger fingers are already worn on the fists.
Han Shentu's eyelids twitched: "Who is the Eastern Army God?"
"Oh." Jiang Mengxiong said casually: "Let's take a look."
Han Shentu looked very serious: "Jiang Wang challenged the magic skill here, and the world is paying attention. The God of War has also seen it. How many people are coming today. In such an occasion, you'd better make your attitude clear. Otherwise, at the critical moment, with your With our current strength, we may have to persuade him to leave in advance."
Just kidding, if he doesn't force Jiang Mengxiong to express his position, what will Jiang Mengxiong do to save people when Jiang Wang is possessed?
At first glance, this is a big deal, but the "willfulness" of a hegemonic country is not uncommon. Who wants to bet on Fang Yi?
"Oh, my attitude is very simple." Jiang Mengxiong finally said seriously: "My emperor asked me to come over and watch over this place. After all, Jiang Wang has made contributions to the world and is virtuous to the human race. If he is a demon, I will kill him with my fists. If he becomes enlightened, I can no longer let anyone stand in his way."
Although facing Jiang Mengxiong, who represented the great Qi hegemony, there was nothing wrong with Jiang Mengxiong's attitude. Han Shentu did not soften the Legalist attitude: "If he becomes enlightened, everyone will be happy. If he becomes a devil, there will be no need for military gods to take action. Then It is the responsibility of the Legalists."
The gorgeous carriage behind Zuo Guangshu and Qu Shunhua opened the brocade curtain again at this time.
Princess Yuyun of Da Chu, who was visiting Tianxing Cliff for the first time, waved in the direction of Ruoqiyun Car: "An'an, come to Auntie. The car brought a lot of cakes, all of which you like to eat."
Jiang Anan naturally has no appetite at this time.
But she thought that this was an elder who was close to her brother, and that she had grown up, so she said something to Uncle Ye and Sister Qingyu, cheered up, and flew towards Xiong Jingyu.
She flew exquisitely, and the path under her feet seemed to be hidden in the clouds. She showed the grace of a famous family with "family origins". She greeted obediently: "Grandpa Zuo, brother Guangshu, sister and aunt Shunhua."
Everyone pities him.
Xiong Jingyu took her hand and led her into the luxurious carriage.
It doesn't look obvious from the outside, but it's extremely luxurious inside and is as brilliant as a grand palace.
"Don't worry." Princess Yuyun of the Great Chu said warmly: "We have prepared all the ways in the world, and the worst result will not happen. For people like your brother, as long as it is not the worst result, he can win the best. A good future."
Jiang Anan didn't know what preparations Zuo had made. She just felt that Aunt Xiong was very amiable. People on the other side were still talking, and another bell rang, resounding throughout Tianxing Cliff.
Dang~!
This sound is extremely refreshing and cleanses the heart, just like the rain washes away the blue sky and the sea of suffering turns away.
Everyone moved their eyes.
But I saw a huge bronze bell flying high in the sky. Standing on the bell was a skinny and skinny monk. He was thin, but he was also made of copper skin and iron bones. When he opened his mouth, his voice was louder than the bell, and it rolled like the sky. Lei: "I am suffering from illness in Xuankong Temple. By the order of my family's abbot, I was specially sent to hear the bell to Tianxing Cliff to protect the path of Master Jiang! The true transmission of the Three Jewels and the fruit of Bodhi. This heart is bright, so I hear it!"
I smell it!
Ku Jue went to die after leaving Xuankong Temple.
Since Jiang Wangjian killed the Six True Spirits, he has never been to Xuankong Temple again. The old relationship is considered to be over, and he only occasionally exchanges letters with Jingli.
I heard about this clock and it was truly an unexpected gift.
I wonder if it was the miserable abbot who saw something, or the little holy monk was rolling around?
Han Shentu had definitely seen the possibility of Jiang Wang's success - if all this was his plan.
I heard that the bell is a tool for enlightenment and seeking the truth within. When it is used to destroy demons and eliminate delusions, it is most appropriate. He handed it over and naturally did not stop it.
However, suffering from illness has sealed the seal of the Buddha's heart, and he chants in a low voice: "I hear the heavenly heart, Master Jiang will never fall into the devil's trap."
Although it was a low voice, it sounded like thunder.
Before everyone could fully digest this message, there was a sound of laughter in the distance, catching the gradually spreading thunder: "Oh, it seems I am the last one to arrive."
Tu Hu, who was wearing a divine crown sacrificial robe, seemed to emerge from the sky. He had a gentle and understanding smile on his face, as if nothing in this world could surprise him. He knew everything in the past, and could then grasp it. About the future.
Behind him, there was also a handsome man in rich clothes and a splendid face, who was as brilliant as a god—Zhao Rucheng, holding a bell in his hand.
clang!
The sound lasts forever.
Since the day when the Guangwen Ye Xiemu Temple was completed, the Guangwen Bell, which has hardly ever been dinged, and has never left the Minhe Temple, actually moved from the grassland to Tianxing Cliff!
And Tu Hu continued: "The Great Shepherd God's Crown was used to worship Tu Hu, and Zhao Rucheng, the master of the Minhe Temple, specially sent Guangwen Zhong here to protect Jiang Zhenren!"
However, with just one trip, Zhao Rucheng's "inspection period" was wiped out, and he directly became the head of Minhe Temple.
Speaking of which, this is also his first official appearance after taking charge of the diplomacy of the Mu Kingdom, but it is on such an occasion - although they are only gathered here for Jiang Wangzhi's sermon, the grand scene is not inferior to any other world alliance meeting. .
For a while, inside and outside Tianxing Cliff, even the ritual stone stopped ringing.
Three minutes to protect the road, unprecedented!
If we really want to go back in time, if we really want to compare the definite history, it was still the era when the World Honored One walked around the world, carrying three bells with him, preaching the Dharma to all realms, and saving all sentient beings.
Since the time when the World-Honored One left behind the Three Jewels with him, opened branches and scattered leaves, and explained the Buddha's Dharma, they have not been together again for tens of thousands of years.
What kind of power is it that makes these three almost impossible treasure bells gather here?
Zhao Rucheng didn't care what others thought or whether others were staring at him. He held Zhong in his arms and pushed it in: "Third brother! Now that you have become enlightened, you should teach it to the world!"
He pushed Zhong, just like he pushed Jiang many years ago and looked out the door - Third Brother! The world is vast, don’t just focus on cultivation!
Third brother, just move forward. Just move forward!
Dang~
clang!
clang--
Know and hear, I hear, and hear widely, the three bells ring together, the three bells ring, the three bells are heard, and the three Buddhas' faith reunites after an unknown number of thousands of years. Today it rings on Tianxing Cliff.
