Snow is falling in the sky, and it's quiet here, like a forgotten world.
The five people stood in the sky and stared dumbfounded. The heavy snow covered their eyes, and they could not see much. Even the distance of the spiritual thoughts was less than ten or twenty meters.
Yuli suddenly said in shock: "I remember that ten years ago this place was not what it is now."
Li Daoren and others nodded.
An Qing frowned, unable to see what was going on.
Zhu Tao took back the Five Elements Plate and said with a smile: "Maybe this place is its own world, but that's not necessarily true. Let's go down first."
"makes sense......"
The five people flew down and landed on a slope. They looked around and couldn't tell the north, south, east, and west for a while.
Because the snow was really heavy, the visibility was very low.
Even if the five of them had the same cultivation level, they still felt shivering and hurriedly offered up their treasures to keep out the cold. Only An Qing seemed to be okay.
He did feel that it was cold here, but for him, it was not a big problem.
The four people who had prepared themselves against the cold couldn't help but show a hint of surprise when they saw that An Qing was fine.
Li Daoren sighed: "When we saw this place ten years ago, it was still full of life. Unexpectedly, only ten years later, things and people here have changed."
Zhu Tao exclaimed: "This place is not one world, but is isolated using formations, but it can change the seasons. It's really amazing!"
Yu Li smiled and said: "Stop being too busy lamenting, it's more important to find the traces of that mysterious creature first."
The rest of the people looked at each other and nodded.
An Qingqi said: "Fellow Taoists, what exactly is that mysterious creature you are talking about?"
The four of them smiled mysteriously when they heard this, and Taoist Li chuckled and said, "Little friend An, actually we don't really know what that mysterious creature is. It was just a glimpse back then."
An Qing was stunned for a moment, "So magical?"
"It's very likely that it's a psychic Taoist weapon, or it may be a piece of psychic gold, or maybe it's... a psychic medicine." Li Daoren said with excitement on his wrinkled face. : "The location of the Snow Sea is extremely special. We are currently in the middle of the Eastern Region of Yiyang Continent. The reason why there are so many ancient ruins is entirely because some of the great clans that were once extremely glorious were destroyed."
An Qing's face showed surprise when he heard this.
If it is true as Taoist Li said, wouldn't this place be full of treasures?
An Qing knew that the wilderness was not actually wilderness at all. It was just that people defined areas that were unsuitable for human habitation as wilderness.
The vast wilderness area is also divided into five major regions.
The far north is a land of bitter cold, the far south is still an unknown area, and the far west is barren. Only the far east is home to thousands of tribes, of which the ten ancient tribes are the most numerous.
Regarding the Central Territory, the human race has no records, but other races have recorded some sporadic history.
The hidden tribe mentioned by the young man in silver shirt is suspected to be in the Central Territory.
In the Eastern Territory, on the vast land, countless powerful clans once appeared, but under the power of time, nine out of ten clans no longer exist. Only the glorious ruins they once created remain.
There are many secrets under the snow sea.
If this were the remnants of a once glorious clan, I'm afraid what would be born would be a heaven-defying existence.
This is simply overwhelming wealth.
If we don't have to find someone else, and someone whose realm is under control, I'm afraid it won't be An Qing's turn.
The snow is falling heavily, and neither the mind nor the naked eye can see very far. No one knows how big it is here, so they can only move forward cautiously.
There are indeed many shocking treasures in the ruins, but they are also full of dangers. If you are not careful, you will die.
An Qing did not dare to be careless. Although Master Jian could handle most crises, if it exceeded a certain level, Master Jian might be powerless.
Except for the heavy snowfall, there was no sound between heaven and earth. It was so quiet that it was oppressive.
"Look, there's a tree there!"
While the five of them were walking, Kong Hai suddenly called out via voice transmission.
The other four people looked up and looked in the direction of Kong Hai's finger. There was indeed a tree there, but it didn't have any green leaves, and the dead branches were covered with snow.
It stands out in the endless snow.
The five of them looked at each other and decided to go take a look.
Soon, the five people walked to the tree and took a look. It was not that An Qing didn't recognize the tree, but Master Jian let out a sound of surprise.
"Bodhi tree! This is the Bodhi tree!" Before Master Jian could say anything, Taoist Li was the first to shout.
He pointed at the dead branches and looked particularly excited.
Upon hearing this, the four people, including An Qing, had blank expressions on their faces.
Kong Hai asked in confusion: "Mr. Li, what is the bodhi tree?"
Taoist Li was surprised and said: "The Bodhi tree is a Buddhist tree. In ancient times, Buddhism and our Taoism were two major branches of practice."
The four of them became more and more confused as they listened.
Daomen?
Buddhism?
What does it mean?
"Hey, I didn't expect someone to know the difference between Buddhism and Taoism. It's interesting." Master Jian suddenly laughed.
"Master Jian, do you know?" An Qing asked curiously.
"Why don't I know? Of course I know, but let's listen to what this little seafood has to say first." Master Jian said proudly.
An Qing was speechless.
After all, he was a monk in the Dan Palace realm, but in Master Jian's eyes, he was just a little seafood.
Taoist Li touched the bodhi tree with trembling hands and murmured: "What a pity, what a pity..."
Everyone looked confused.
Kong Hai couldn't help but said: "Mr. Li, just tell me, don't touch it alone."
Li Daoren took back his hand, sighed, and said leisurely: "I also learned about the difference between Buddhism and Taoism from a broken ancient book. What we practice now is basically Taoism. In ancient times, there was also Buddhist practice. It is said that Buddhist Kung Fu is very mysterious, and countless top experts have appeared. They were once very prosperous, but later, for unknown reasons, they were completely lost in the long river of time."
Taoist Li took out a dilapidated ancient book and turned to a certain page and continued: "The Bodhi tree is a Buddhist tree in Buddhism. Come and see if there is a faint Buddha statue on this tree, which is similar to what is recorded in the book. ?”
After hearing the words, several people came closer, looked down at the ancient book in Taoist Li's hand, and then looked at the Bodhi tree, and they all nodded in surprise.
Sure enough, there is indeed a faint outline of a Buddha statue on the Bodhi tree.
It is like an ancient Buddha sitting in oblivion, with a majestic appearance.
"Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the first place. How can it be stained with dust." Master Jian suddenly said quietly: "There is no Buddha in the world who can help people to cross the world, so the decline of Buddhism is understandable."
An Qing was confused.
Master Jian said sadly: "The Buddha ferried the destined people to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, but the Buddha sank during this journey. The Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss needs to be dust-free and stain-free, but even the Buddha sank, how could it be dust-free and stain-free? Therefore, the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss It’s nothing more than a fantasy.”
An Qing became more and more confused as he listened, "Master Jian, what on earth are you talking about? What kind of pure land of bliss is there really such a place?"
Master Jian said: "Buddhas in the world are just messengers from another world. It is said that that world has no desires, no pursuits, no dust and no dirt. Many Buddhist dharma flow from that mysterious world. All Buddhas in the world are from that mysterious world." The messenger, but even the messenger has been polluted by the world, how can he go to that world?"
An Qing understood somewhat, "It means that all the Buddhas in the world are messengers of that world. If you want to enter that world, you must be free from desires, desires, dust and dirt?"
Master Jian said: "That's exactly it."
An Qing grinned and said, "Bullshit!"
Master Jian was startled, then laughed and said, "That's quite nonsense."
An Qing said disdainfully: "How can you be spotless in this world?"
Master Jian was silent.
An Qing added: "I see, that world must be fictional, it doesn't exist at all."
Master Jian said: "Yes."
An Qing said: "I don't believe it."
Master Jian pondered: "I seem to have been there before..."
An Qing was surprised: "Really?"
Master Jian was unsure and said, "It seems like there is, I can't remember clearly..."
An Qing shook his head, "You must be mistaken. How could it be possible? I will kowtow to anyone who can achieve nothing."
Master Jian smiled and said nothing.
There is nothing to argue about. Whether or not it does not mean much to An Qing now.
Yuli was surprised and asked: "Since it is a relic left by Buddhism in ancient times, is there any secret treasure of Buddhism?"
When it comes to the secret treasure, everyone gets excited.
Although Taoist Li's face was calm, his excited eyes could not deceive anyone. He said: "If it is really a secret treasure of Buddhism, then this trip will be in vain. The secret treasure of Buddhism is mysterious and unpredictable. If you can get one, it will be enough to shock the world." .”
As soon as these words came out, the other people were instantly full of firm confidence in this trip.
Master Jian also said to An Qing: "Boy, there may be a huge opportunity here, you have to seize it. Although Buddhism is different from Taoism, the Taoism is different, and Buddha is Taoism. Fundamentally, they are all the same. "
An Qing nodded heavily, "Well, I will definitely take advantage of it and strive for an early breakthrough."
Mr. Jian no longer talks too much. Sometimes, talking too much may not be able to point the way, as long as you mention something at the critical moment.
Taoist Li sighed: "It's a pity that the Bodhi tree has withered. If it were a living sacred tree, its value is immeasurable and its uses are endless."
Everyone could tell that this Bodhi tree was definitely not withered naturally, because the entire trunk to the branches were charred black, and it must have been severely damaged by some powerful force.
Zhu Tao smiled and said, "Don't feel sorry for Mr. Li. If it were really a living bodhi tree, you probably wouldn't dare to take it away. How can low-level monks like us possess such a sacred object?"
Taoist Li nodded and sighed: "Yes! Taoist friend Zhu is right. If we get a living bodhi tree, it will probably cause disaster. Let's go." After that, he shook his head and walked away first.
Indeed, although this tree has endless magical uses, if it is not protected by strong strength, it will definitely bring disaster to itself.
The principle that a common man is innocent and possesses a jade is the same in all realms.
For example, An Qing obtained the Great Wilderness Scripture. If An Qing hadn't escaped with the help of Master Jian, he would have died countless times now. Only An Qing had the courage to snatch food from the tiger's mouth.
As long as any of the ten ancient clans ducks, the whole earth will tremble.
No matter how powerful An Qing is in the same realm, in front of high-level monks, he is still no different from an ant and can be destroyed with one finger.
The five people no longer hesitated and continued to move forward, expecting the secret treasure to appear.
