"Sooner or later you will enter Buddhism, and humans and monsters will not coexist?"
The moment he saw the handwriting on the signature, Pei Wende felt his mind sway and he lost control of himself.
Pei Wende was familiar with this feeling, because every time he recited the Rebirth Mantra to save the souls of evil spirits, the memories of the deceased's revolving door appeared in his mind out of thin air.
But what was different from every time in the past was that what appeared in Pei Wende's mind this time was not some external information, but some uncertainty and worry in his heart about the future.
Or to be more precise, the signature in Pei Wende's hand is just a "lead".
An "introduction" that triggers specific memories, emotions, and even thoughts in Pei Wende's heart.
Under the guidance of this sticker, some specific thoughts began to be reorganized in Pei Wende's memory, and then appeared in his mind in a completely different form.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
In some timeline where I don’t know whether it’s an illusion or the future.
Outside Hangzhou City, inside Jinshan Temple.
"Amitabha!"
A young man with a handsome face and cassock, who looked somewhat similar to Pei Wende, stood proudly on the top of the mountain and whispered a Buddha's name in a low voice.
"I didn't expect that we would reach this point in the end..."
He looked up at the pouring rain with an indifferent expression.
At this moment, the young man no longer had the shyness when his mortal heart first moved. Instead, he had the divinity from one of the eight heavenly dragons - the great python god.
"Is this what is called 'cause and effect'?"
Following the young man's gaze, he saw dark clouds covering the midday sun above Jinshan Temple.
Two giant pythons, one green and one white, were constantly tumbling in the clouds, seeming to convey endless fire of anger, and also seemed to carry a bit of sadness that defied God.
hold head high!
Although there was no deafening roar, the low hum that shook the soul and washed the golden body touched the young man's heart more than any other sound.
It's a pity that today's young people have learned to control their inner restlessness.
"Amitabha, this is the holy land of Buddhism after all. The treacherous and evil people should retreat as soon as possible!"
Glancing lightly at the dull and dull commoner man behind him, the young man just shook his head regretfully and threw the rosary beads in his hand into the sky, as if there was no such person behind him.
"ah!!!"
In an instant, the white snake's scream came from the clouds, and then the heavy rain seemed to "stop" at this moment.
"Don't be angry, the mighty Tianlong!"
It was at this moment that the illusion of a golden dragon occupying the entire Jinshan Temple appeared in front of the world, followed by the roar of Fahai and the Sanskrit sound that filled the sky.
——Driving away snakes and enslaving dragons, the eight heavenly beings!
It is obviously a more evil and surly existence than the green and white snakes.
The great python god, who can manifest as a soul, is full of sacred and glorious aura, truly like a god who has descended into the world.
"Amitabha! Let go! Don't force me to enter the world and conquer demons again!"
Brilliant like thunder, brilliant like pearls...
The golden dragon entrenched on the mountain looked up at the sky, and with just a Buddha's roar, it dispersed the dark clouds in the sky and subsided the boiling flood.
——Create a golden body for a lifetime with the talents of heaven, and reappear the great python god with the cause and effect of the previous life.
This is today's young monk, a practitioner who is almost spiritual and has a wild mind, a Buddhist sage who has entered the world to conquer demons and be entangled in the retribution of the past.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Oh, you really know how to take advantage of loopholes."
Just when the young monk and the two green and white snakes were about to fight, a disdainful laughter suddenly spread throughout the sky.
Immediately afterwards, the whole world seemed to have pressed the pause button.
The rain stopped, the wind calmed down, and even the sounds disappeared...
Only Pei Wende, who appeared out of thin air, became the only living creature in this "forbidden world".
"Since I have been practicing, I have met many practitioners who are good at illusions and attacking the mind..."
"You're not the first, and you certainly won't be the last."
As if in response to Pei Wende's words, on the Jinshan Temple that turned into water, circles of faint ripples spread out from nothing.
"Fu Dou made me see what it means to turn reality into reality, and Dan Chenzi made me realize the dangers of the battle between souls."
"So I have given myself a psychological hint a long time ago. No one can make waves in my sea of consciousness."
When the faint ripples spread to everything in sight.
The whole world collapsed, replaced by the subconscious ocean that Pei Wende was very familiar with.
And above this endless ocean, a tag emitting golden light stood proudly, emitting some unknown fluctuations all the time.
"But you were able to understand the 'fear' in my heart, which is indeed a bit beyond my expectation."
In fact, as early as the last time he faced the ghosts and gods, Pei Wende had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
Because the phrase "The mighty Tianlong" is really too familiar.
Pei Wende simply recalled it briefly afterwards and discovered that this mantra was not the mantra of Fa Hai, the villain in the previous movie "Green Snake"?
Although the "Heart Mantra" is not a spell to call ghosts and gods in the true sense, it is a certain hint given by the user to himself in order to strengthen his belief and will.
Theoretically, if Pei Wende doesn't want to, he can change the phrase "Great Powerful Heavenly Dragon" to "Great Powerful Earth Dragon" tomorrow.
Apart from slightly reducing the strength of the magical power, there will be no other unnecessary negative effects at all.
But Pei Wende couldn't help but comfort himself like this, and he was shocked to find that not only his mantra, but also his life trajectory was similar to "Fahai" to some extent.
The same teacher came out of Buddhism, the same encounter with a green snake, and even the most powerful mantra has the same meaning...
Pei Wende has never believed in fate, but after realizing the similarities between himself and Fa Hai, he was actually a little afraid of turning against Green Snake.
The old concept of "humans and monsters are not mutually exclusive", which has long been abandoned in the 21st century, became a demon deeply rooted in Pei Wende's heart at that moment.
The only thing that makes Pei Wende feel lucky is that the story of Fa Hai that he knows happened in the West Lake of the Song Dynasty, not the Weishan Mountain of the Tang Dynasty.
This may indicate that Pei Wende's worries are just unfounded.
There is no way that he is the Fahai in the story, and it is impossible for the real world to develop like the plot in the story.
At the very least, Pei Wende didn't know that Fahai had known the Green Snake long before he had a grudge against the White Snake.
