For countless powerful people who are high in the clouds and supervise the three realms, three years is just a short nap.
For a little demon who lives in the deep mountains and old forests and has just begun to develop his spiritual intelligence, three years is just a time for eating, drinking, peeing, and passing by in a daze.
But for the Flame Ridge in Hezhou, Xiniu, the past three years have witnessed rapid changes, creating a new atmosphere.
The flame that stretches for thousands of miles still exists, but it is strong on the outside and empty on the inside. Do not approach any external creatures, and fully support it on the inside. The golden flames shoot out the rainbow, and the jade smoke flies into the colorful mist.
The mountain range stretching for 70,000 miles is divided into five peaks and thirteen caves. The vitality circulates and forms a unique style. It borrows the power of heaven and earth to build a beautiful cave.
The cultivation efficiency of living here is far from comparable to the outside world.
"call!"
The little white dragon stretched out his waist and walked out of the Jade Dragon Cave.
His pair of dragon horns have almost melted away, leaving only the sharp tips.
For the dragon clan, revealing dragon horns and dragon scales is a sign of pride.
Even though they knew that the human body fit the Zhoutian Dao and was the most suitable for cultivation, they still refused to give up the arrogance of a real dragon, so even if they transformed into a human form, they would have to erect two horns to show their identity.
However, Xiao Bailong knows very well that this is actually related to the slow improvement of the dragon clan.
Thanks to their innate strength, it doesn't take long after the dragons are born to compete with the great demons who have practiced Taoism for five hundred years. The lowest limit is the destination that many demons dream of, but many dragons spend their entire lives at this point.
Levels wander.
It's not that they want to keep the dragon horns, some of them really can't even transform into one.
Now, in just three years, his dragon horns have completely disappeared. If it were passed back, even the Dragon King of the West Sea, who has always been glaring at him, would be very relieved.
You naughty kid, it’s time to make a career.
“Thanks to this blessed land!”
After all these years of experience, Xiao Bailong doesn’t think that I am the greatest, and he knows the importance of a wealthy couple’s dharma and earth.
This speed of progress is the result of Seventy Thousand Miles of Flame Ridge.
No living beings have lived here for thousands of years. It has always been the dojo of Zen Master Wuchao. The vitality is pure, and the true fire of the sun is the source of creation and destruction. If you practice here, even the dragon kings of the four seas will envy you.
It is no exaggeration to say that apart from a few secret places such as Lingshan Dayei Temple and Xianyue Sanxing Cave, there will be no better place for cultivation in Hezhou, Xiniu.
And this place became their home.
Not to mention the low-level monsters who had traveled thousands of miles before, even the little white dragon felt like he was in another world.
call!
Just as I was thinking about it, a loud dragon roar came from the distance, and a beautiful jade dragon rose from below, winding out like a rainbow across the sky.
"Becoming like me again?"
Xiao Bailong's face darkened, he couldn't accept the change.
Fortunately, the next moment, the jade dragon turned into a wild and unruly dragon. Then it spread its wings and turned into a bright sun, covering the sky and a golden crow. Then it fell to the ground and turned into a golden nose and white hair.
mouse……
Transform into a dragon, a golden crow, a rat, a white tiger, a deer, a chicken...
Finally it fell to the ground and became a six-eared macaque.
Seventy-two, endless changes!
Huang Shang's various changes are all three levels of perfection, perfectly imitating the ripples of life, but they cannot be copied in terms of Qi.
In the past three years, the two main things he has done are refining elixirs and transforming magical powers.
One after another, the Chunyang Rescue Pill was released, improving the cultivation of the cave masters, and at the same time communicating with Ji Lei Mountain.
After learning that Huang Shang had occupied Flame Ridge, Long Live Fox King immediately gave up the idea of recruiting a son-in-law and treated him as an ally.
Jilei Mountain provides various treasure materials, and Flame Ridge sells finished elixirs.
Even though Jileishanfang City has been established for thousands of years, elixirs are still rare and are the last treasures in the auction.
Now there is a steady supply, which immediately raises the grade significantly.
In the past, great demons with five hundred years of Taoism came here, but now even demon kings with thousands of years of Taoism are getting wind of this and gather here from time to time.
The scale is further expanded.
Long Live the Fox King didn't find a son-in-law, but he found a way to take off on the fast track.
What he paid for was not only all kinds of treasures, but also demon power resources, continuously delivering middle-level management demon talents to Flame Ridge.
Huang Shang traveled thousands of miles and led his team to wander. Except for a group of younger brothers and sisters who stayed with them, the middle and lower-class monsters fled all day long. By the time they reached Jilei Mountain, only more than ten thousand were left.
The rest are not all loyal, there are also some who just follow the crowd and are too lazy to think, their abilities are mixed, and they cannot support a truly big force.
Now that Long Live the Demonic Vendor Fox King is here, everything is on the right track.
With continuous drainage, the team has been continuously strengthened, and the middle and lower-level leadership team has supported a real force.
Huang Shang doesn't expect them to do anything earth-shattering yet, but he just doesn't want to see that as soon as the king disappears, the little demons below will disperse in a swarm and fall apart.
Therefore, the help brought by alchemy is the improvement of the entire force.
Later, his understanding of the changes in supernatural powers led to an overall improvement in his own strength.
The Tiangang supernatural power observes all phenomena of heaven and earth. Due to the exclusivity of Flame Ridge, other celestial phenomena are rarely reflected here. The most important one is sky fire.
Then there is no need to abandon the basics and choose the last, just study the Heavenly Fire Transformation and practice the "Golden Crow Burning Heaven Technique" by Zen Master Wuchao.
Huang Shang's level is already high, and the main function of this top secret skill in the world is to allow him to have a deeper understanding of the rules of alchemy in this world.
He had taken a lot of Chunyang Kudan, and improving his cultivation through the external elixir would inevitably become slower, but the fact was that his cultivation was still improving in great strides, and he was approaching seven hundred years in just three years.
At this rate, breaking through the thousand-year barrier is just around the corner.
This is also due to the development of the psychic stone monkey.
The Monkey King worshiped the Patriarch Bodhi and was given the name Sun Wukong. He was the only one who could break the stubbornness of the world.
After joining the sect, Patriarch Bodhi did not teach Taoism at the beginning. Wukong first went to kindergarten, where he learned language and manners with a group of senior brothers, lectured on scriptures and Taoism, learned calligraphy and burned incense, and then swept the floor and hoed the garden, planted flowers and trees, and found
Use firewood to light the fire, carry water and pulp...
A good hand at housework while busy outside.
For those who didn’t know better, they thought it was a confinement nanny.
This is not only a way to hone one's mind and suppress the wild nature, but also an inspiration for adapting to Lingtai Fangcun Mountain.
Wukong lived up to his expectations, adapted quickly, and then devoured it.
Ever since, Huang Shang was sure that the stone monkey's talent for channeling spirits lies in the word channeling.
There is no need to practice independently, the infinite spiritual energy will just cry and flow into the body.
The vitality particles in Lingtai Fangcun Mountain do not resist and are allowed to be absorbed and controlled.
Wukong worked as a confinement nanny for three years, and before he knew it, he had practiced Taoism for three hundred years.
This is without systematic skills...
The six-eared macaque said it was very dry.
The monsters in the world are very capable.
It can be upgraded even while lying down. It is the only one in the world.
No wonder the demon tribe dared to risk the last of its luck, and the Buddhists had long ago planned to plot this fate that was at the end of the road, but still had great luck.
Huang Shangqing knew that in the original plot, Wukong entered the disciples of Patriarch Bodhi and studied martial arts for almost twenty years. He did odd jobs for the first seven years, and taught the orthodox alchemy method for the next three years. From the tenth year onwards, he learned the seventy-two transformations of the Disha, and later taught him
Somersault cloud...
In twenty years, from scratch, he became the Monkey King who wreaked havoc in heaven and fought against heaven and earth.
That's okay. What Huang Shang cares about is that if Wukong's plot continues to develop according to the original plot, after twenty years, Patriarch Bodhi will drive him down the mountain, and the time left for the six-eared macaque will only be twenty years.
year time.
In the past twenty years, his cultivation has not only reached the realm of the Demon Saint, but the most important thing is to find out what kind of bombs have been buried in the main temple, and how the two demon monkeys can use these in a reasonable way.
The bombs were broken one by one.
With Wukong's psychic talent, the six-eared macaque, who was dull in talent, also benefited and made great progress in his magical powers.
Tiangang is for observing celestial phenomena, and Disha is for observing living beings. The changes in the two magical powers of the sky and the earth are so profound and profound that no matter how much research is done, they cannot be studied enough.
At this time, Huang Shang changed completely and returned to his original form of Liu Er. Just as he was about to go and play with his many younger brothers and sisters, he saw a golden light flying from the sky.
He stretched out his claws and the golden light fell down, turning into a letter written in Sanskrit.
"Jin Chanzi's letter?"
Huang Shang glanced at it, showing solemnity.
After they found their home that year, Jin Chanzi said goodbye and continued traveling.
In the mind of this second disciple of the Buddha, this may be just a different kind of journey, allowing him to personally experience how the demon tribe survives in Hezhou, Xiniu, which will help him find the Dharma in his heart.
When they parted, there was no pretense between the two parties. Huang Shang waved his paws and Jin Chanzi clasped his hands together. Only Xiao Bailong was the saddest and asked if they were friends.
Now it seems, yes.
Because Jin Chanzi sent a message to remind him that the Jilei Mountain was huge, the Buddhist Heavenly King deliberately took action, plowing the courtyard and sweeping the caves, and destroyed the group of demons.
This was an expected bad thing, and Huang Shang immediately changed his mind and went to the paradise of Zen Master Wuchao.
Ripples spread out, and hibiscus trees come into view.
Seeing his arrival, the sacred tree trembled slightly, immediately alerting Zen Master Wuchao who was practicing on the Bird's Nest.
The old Zen master opened his eyes and looked over: "Is there something in trouble on Mount Jilei?"
Huang Shang nodded: "We are going to fight Buddhism!"
Zen Master Wuchao laughed: "You are young and energetic, do you think you can win?"
Huang Shang also smiled and said: "Of course I can't win, but I don't want to lose either."
He climbed up the hibiscus tree, sat on the branch, and faced Zen Master Wuchao face to face: "Old Yu Chang, besides Xiniu Hezhou, is there any other place for our clan to go?"
Zen Master Wuchao glanced at him sideways: "You have been asking around recently, and you have already had such an idea. Why do you ask knowingly?"
Huang Shangdao: "I haven't been there after all, so I don't know whether the news is true or not. When Emperor Lao Yuchang became enlightened, he must have witnessed the formation of Shibuzhou with his own eyes, right?"
"Of course!"
Zen Master Wuchao showed a look of reminiscence and began to recite a poem: "The chaos is undivided, the sky and the earth are chaotic, and no one can see the vastness. Since Pangu broke through the Hongmeng, it opened up the distinction between the clear and the turbid..."
As worthy of being the Great Sage of the Golden Crow, he was not comparable to those of the younger generation. He chanted for half an hour before the poem came to an end and got to the point.
According to Zen Master Wuchao, the "human world" in ancient times was a whole. After the war between monsters, it was divided into four continents.
That battle was the end of the ancient era. The sky was shattered, a big hole was opened in the sky, the earth was split into four parts, the demons fell like rain, more than half of the demon clan sages died immediately, and the others were seriously injured, laying the foundation for
The basis of later mounts.
After that battle, the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors appeared, the Three Emperors ruled the world, and the Five Emperors established their destiny, leading the human race to officially move towards the position of the Lord of Heaven and Earth.
The place where the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors lived is today's Nanzhan Prefecture.
Therefore, Nanfangbu Continent is where the orthodox human dynasty lives, and the other three continents actually migrated there.
Later, the Buddha preached at Lingshan in Hezhou, Xiniu, laying the foundation of Buddhism. In Dongsheng Shenzhou, there were ten immortal mountains with many gods. Most of the immortals who were unwilling to serve in heaven lived in Dongsheng Shenzhou.
These three continents have the most appearances in the original plot. There is also Luzhou, the northern capital, which plays a minor role in the whole process and is extremely disliked by Buddhism...
Why is Beiju Luzhou, one of the four continents, so forgotten that there is no plot at all?
Why does Buddhism not exist in Luzhou, Beiju, but Tathagata does not send Buddhists to promote it?
It depends on living conditions.
Not too poor, but too rich.
The humane dynasty in Nanzhan Buzhou is already orthodox, with great fortunes in the world, and gods, demons, and Buddhas dare not offend lightly. However, within the dynasty, oppression, disputes, and ups and downs are inevitable.
Not so with Beiju Luzhou. This square-shaped continent is a holy land in the minds of many people:
The ground is paved with gold, the night is bright, there are fruit trees everywhere, and the utensils are made of glass and crystal.
The people there are four feet tall, have square and handsome faces, are carefree, do not fight or snatch, do not need to eat ginseng fruit, and can live on average more than a thousand years.
When they are hungry, they pick bran rice from the roadside and put it in the pot. No food blogger is needed, the rice will be cooked naturally and the cooking taste is extremely delicious.
If you don’t want to cook by yourself, you can also watch someone cooking on the roadside and eat together.
Don't feel embarrassed, because as long as the rice is placed in the pot and five people are around the pot, there will be enough for five people. If there are five hundred people around the pot, there will automatically be enough for five hundred people.
As long as the cook doesn't get up, you can keep eating and get unlimited refills.
But people here have no emotional disputes. They only need to make eye contact between the lover and the person being courted to determine whether they want to stay together for life.
After confirming my eyes, I met the right person, not the lyrics, it became a reality.
There is also free DNA testing. Lovers can come to the tree hand in hand. If the two are brothers and sisters who have been separated for many years and cannot intermarry, the tree will not move. Otherwise, the tree will bend down and use the branches and leaves to make a cabin for the two.
, directly inside hehehe.
If Duan Yu lived here, he wouldn't need to be afraid, even though he wasn't afraid in the first place...
After a couple gets married and gives birth to a child, they can take care of it by themselves or leave it on the roadside. Passers-by will feed the child when they see it.
Your sons will raise them together.
There are many more besides.
Prosperity, harmony, civilization, equality.
This is Beiju Luzhou.
Then Buddhists commented that this place is a place of eight difficulties!
With only physical wealth but no spiritual wealth, no understanding of suffering and disaster, and no understanding of the supreme subtleties of Buddhism, there is no doubt, it is obvious, there is no doubt that this kind of life is not really beautiful.
On the other hand, the people of Xiniu Hezhou live in poverty and precarity. They may face disasters caused by gods such as drought and floods at any time. They may be devoured by Bodhisattva's mounts at any time. Even the king is not immune. However, they are bathed in the radiance of Buddhism. This is
That is the real beauty.
My Buddha is compassionate!
However, Zen Master Wuchao also told Huang Shang that there was also a big boss behind Beiju Luzhou, and it was none other than the Lord of the Three Realms, the Jade Emperor.
It is precisely because the people of Luzhou, Beiju, devoutly believe in the Emperor of Heaven that they can live their current life.
To summarize:
Dongsheng Shenzhou is the territory of Taoism, Xiniu Hezhou is the territory of Buddhism, Nanzhan Buzhou is the orthodox dynasty of the human race, and Beiju Luzhou is the Jade Emperor's back garden of faith...
The entire human world is clearly arranged.
After Huang Shang made a comparison, he discovered that there was a reason why the demon tribe was causing trouble in Hezhou, Xiniu.
You can't go to Dongsheng Shenzhou. The Taoists are even more ruthless against the monsters. If they don't deserve to be mounted, they will be killed;
There is no way to go to Nanzhan Buzhou. The spirit of the demon clan is already low enough. If you devour the human race of that day, you must not die too quickly.
I don’t dare to go to Luzhou in Beiju. The Jade Emperor is not the coward in the TV series who hides on the table and begs for help from Tathagata. This is the real boss of heaven and earth. Sun Wukong makes a big fuss in the heavenly palace, but he only hits outside the Lingxiao Palace. The Jade Emperor
Unable to bear the disturbance, he sent a message to Tathagata to come and fetch the demon monkey. The relationship between superiors and subordinates was clear at a glance.
After going around in a circle, it turns out that only Xiniu Hezhou can survive.
On the contrary, Buddhism is a soft persimmon.
After all, Buddhism emphasizes suffering, and the existence of monsters can make the human race on Xiniuhezhou feel the light of Buddha more and realize the value of Buddhism.
Many monsters who return to the mountains also have causal threads wrapped around their necks for future use...
After clarifying the overall situation, Huang Shang also had ideas when he thought about how to protect Jilei Mountain, the hard-won base of the demon clan.
First of all, in the enemy's base camp, it is impossible to even think about winning through force.
Under the Tathagata Buddha at Lingshan, there are four Bodhisattvas, four heavenly kings, eight vajras, five hundred arhats, eight hundred monks, three thousand monks, numerous upasakas, bhikkhunis, etc. In terms of strength, they are slightly inferior to the Taoist immortals, but there is a gap.
Definitely not big, and there are also many spiritual Buddhist party members such as Li Jing, the King of Pagoda, serving in heaven.
The plan to destroy Ji Lei Mountain this time is only driven by King Guangmu Zun among the Four Heavenly Kings. Looking at his strength alone, the Long Live Fox King can hang up this so-called King of Heaven and beat him, but does he dare?
If you offend, there will definitely be a huge army behind you. They will plow up Ji Lei Mountain and sweep the caves, killing everyone in the family.
Therefore, the message released by Buddhism this time actually means that Jilei Mountain will surrender.
Disband the market, close the mountain gates, assume a harmless attitude towards humans and animals, bathe in the light of Buddhism, and the crisis will resolve itself.
Huang Shang knew that wouldn't work.
Long live the Fox King will not be willing to let his life's efforts go to waste, let alone allow the demon clan's backbone to be broken!
A conflict is inevitable!
So, should the newly developed Flame Ridge just sit back and watch? Or should it join the war?
"Since our clan cannot go to the other three continents, then Xiniu Hezhou cannot give up, and Jilei Mountain cannot give up!"
Huang Shang looked at Zen Master Wuchao: "What do you mean by Old Yu Chang?"
Zen Master Wuchao fell silent.
The meaning is already very clear.
He is now a Buddhist Zen master, no longer the golden crow that burns everything, and his stance has long since changed.
Huang Shang sighed, looked at Zen Master Wuchao, and saw the admonishment in his eyes.
Don't try to get ahead of the wheel. When it's time to retreat, you must retreat.
"I can't do it!"
Huang Shang will not sit back and ignore things, nor will he take advantage of others.
He chose the third path: "Old Yu Chang, is there any formation in Lingshan?"
Zen Master Wuchao was startled: "What are you going to do? The solemn enlightenment of Lingshan Mountain is not a place for a monkey like you to run wild!"
Huang Shang smiled and said: "It's neither me nor me. It's Diyong's sister. Will she have a chance in Lingshan?"
Zen Master Wuchao counted his fingers and saw something strange in his eyes: "Your talent is quite interesting. Yes, that golden-nosed white-haired rat does have a chance!"
Zen Master Wuchao didn't know the Dharma and didn't teach it to the six ears. He thought that Huang Shang had awakened his talent in cause and effect, so that he could predict the future of the rat spirit.
Huang Shangdao: "That's it. I don't want to have a direct conflict with the Buddhists, so I should find some work for them to do. Don't always keep an eye on my clan. I hope Lao Yu will help me succeed!"
Zen Master Wuchao's eyes wandered, he spread out his five fingers, and a feather fluttered and landed in front of the fusang tree.
Huang Shang picked it up and bowed.
In such a general environment, Zen Master Wuchao took the risk and was extremely benevolent.
He acted resolutely, turned around and left, heading directly to Diyong's cave.
"Big brother is here?"
Di Yong came up to him and when he saw his face, he immediately felt something was wrong: "What's wrong?"
Huang Shang looked at her slightly golden eyes and judged her clairvoyance skills: "Get ready, we will set off immediately!"
