Square inch mountain.
Xiang Feitian sat alone on a mountain top, looking at the 800-mile Jingze Lake, and fell into deep thought.
I don't know why, but since he came to Fangcun Mountain this time, whether he was sleeping or in a state of trance, he seemed to always hear the sound of Zen singing.
I couldn't hear what was being sung, but I felt peaceful in my heart. The hatred of genocide was still there, but it wasn't as crazy as before.
When he was young, he went to the Western Regions and even received ordination at the Lotus Temple and listened to the Buddhist teachings at the Lotus Temple. But the Buddhist sounds from the Western Regions were far from as solemn and compassionate as what I heard in Fangcun Mountain.
But he wanted to find the source of this Zen chant, but found nothing.
Is it an illusion?
He is a genius of the Elephant Clan, a first-class great saint, and he was once at the peak level. How could he hear it wrong?
Soon Xiang Feitian discovered that this Buddhist Zen singing was not something he "heard", but came naturally from his heart.
But how can a tree grow without roots, and where does water without a source come from?
He asked himself that if the Buddhist teachings were not exquisite, how could such a magical Zen chant arise in his heart?
Thinking of this, Xiang Feitian vaguely realized that this square inch mountain was not simple.
Many years ago, he remembered that his brother once told him that inner demons were rampant in Jingze Lake, but Bai Ze chose to plant Fangcun Mountain here.
He also did some research before coming. Since Fangcun Mountain took root in Jingze Lake, nothing strange like before has happened.
Could it be that Fangcun Mountain is a Buddhist mountain?
Is Bai Ze actually a disciple of Buddhism?
Xiang Feitian had a suspicion in his mind, but he laughed to himself.
How can it be?
Because of the incident in "The Legend of White Snake", didn't Bai Ze completely break up with Buddhism?
unless……
"Brother Xiang, you are here..." A shout came from behind Xiang Feitian. Xiang Feitian turned his head and saw Brother Tingting, the Peacock Great Sage Wu Ji, walking towards him, complaining, " It’ll be easy for me to find.”
"The scenery here is great, just right to relieve your thoughts." Xiang Feitian nodded and said.
He also didn't expect that he would actually meet his childhood friend in Fangcun Mountain, but now the other person had already given up the name of the Peacock clan and called himself Brother Wuji.
"Things have happened, let's look forward." Brother Wuji sat next to Xiang Feitian and said calmly, "Many of the animals in the Southern Wilderness have the blood of the Elephant Clan mixed in their bodies. As long as we help them return to their ancestors with the blood of the Elephant Clan, they can achieve great things." In the Holy Realm, the Elephant Clan can reappear in the Southern Wilderness."
"Hundreds of years later, it will still be the Southern Wilderness Elephant Clan!"
Xiang Feitian nodded bitterly: "This is the meaning of my being alive."
Brother Wuji patted Xiang Feitian on the shoulder: "The treasure you asked Lord Bai to go to the wilderness to get must be related to this matter, right?" After saying that, Brother Wuji waved his hand again, "If it's inconvenient, don't follow me. explain."
"When I was still in the Colorful Immortal Realm, I knew that your Elephant Clan had many secrets. If it's a secret, you don't need to tell me."
Xiang Feitian sighed awkwardly and changed the subject: "Kong...Brother Wuji...what happened to make you leave the Colorful Immortal Realm? I always thought you were dead."
"My brother once said that you are a candidate for the next clan leader of the Colorful Immortal Realm."
Brother Wuji was silent for a moment and smiled: "I slaughtered a Buddhist mission."
"There are eight Bodhisattvas in total!"
Xiang Feitian nodded and did not ask why Brother Wuji wanted to kill him.
Since this is Buddhism in the Western Region, there is always a way to die.
"By the way, are you familiar with Master Baishan?" Xiang Feitian asked again.
Brother Wuji looked at the lake at the foot of the mountain and said meaningfully: "I know the person behind him very well."
"Brother Xiang, you and I were old acquaintances, but now we are both homeless. I have a suggestion for you."
Xiang Feitian immediately turned serious, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Wuji, please give me some advice."
Brother Wuji changed his usual frivolous attitude and said sincerely: "If you want to revitalize the Elephant Clan, Fangcun Mountain is your chance!"
Hearing this, Xiang Feitian's face under the mask fell into deep thought.
He still understands Brother Wuji's character, and he is worthy of Brother Wuji's solemn instructions. Then Fang Cunshan Baize is definitely not as simple as he seems.
Thinking back to the weird Zen singing voice in his heart and his ridiculous guesses, Xiang Feitian was a little shaken.
However, Xiang Feitian suddenly thought of a question.
"If he can't get the incense elephant to cross the river, will he still accept me?"
…
"Finally the tenth piece." Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief.
The vast wilderness, the Elephant Garden.
At this time, there were more than thirty great sages following Chen Luo, and all of them looked at Chen Luo with flattering eyes.
Amazing!
As long as this Golden Crow is willing to allow anyone to comprehend magical powers, he or she will be able to comprehend magical powers.
Could it be that the founder of the Elephant Clan and the First Golden Crow had any hidden secrets back then?
"This magical power..." Chen Luo looked around at the great saints. This tombstone was recommended by all the demon saints, and it seemed that it was difficult to assign it to anyone.
Zhu Yaoshou seemed to see Chen Luo's danger. He looked around again, feeling troubled in his heart.
The relationships here are all the same. Anyone who gives it or doesn’t give it will be offended!
Zhu Yaoshou thought for a while, then quickly stepped forward to block Chen Luo, and said to the demon saints: "Everyone, please listen to me!"
"My uncle has cracked nine supernatural tombstones along the way. This is the tenth one."
"But of the nine supernatural tombstones, my uncle used half of them for his own use. Why?"
"Our ancestor, King Qilin, often said: The most important thing when you come out to hang out is to be loyal!"
"My brother-in-law is Yi Bo Yuntian, but we can't just take advantage of it, right?"
"I propose that the last magical power be auctioned!"
"Whoever can bring out the treasure that makes my uncle's heart beat the most, my uncle will teach this magical power to whomever, how about it?"
As soon as Zhu Yaoshou said this, the other great saints suddenly started whispering.
Chen Luo looked at Zhu Yaoshou's back and nodded silently.
This nephew is not bad, I should give him more benefits during the Chinese New Year!
Seeing that the great sages in the audience did not respond, Zhu Yaoshou winked at Xi Youyou and other demon sages. Immediately, the nine demon sages in front of him who had benefited from Chen Luo blocked Chen Luo and looked at those great sages.
"Brother Jinwu Yi Bo Yuntian..." a great sage said, "Zhu Yaoshou's proposal is good, I have no problem with it."
Chen Luo was happy.
Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected fortune.
"I think the Golden Crow brothers are still in the fourth rank. If the Golden Crow brothers give me some advice, my wife is good at dual cultivation. She can lend it to the Golden Crow brothers for a month to help the Golden Crow brothers sing and sing every night and advance to the third rank as soon as possible!"
puff……
Chen Luo almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
He took my magical power and wanted to take advantage of me.
Are all the good things in the world shared by you and your wife?
Beautiful thought!
Pass! Pass! Pass! Next!
"I have a 600-year-old Purple Spirit Fruit, which has the effect of clearing blood impurities."
"Humph, the Golden Crow is the body of the fire essence. What is the use of the Purple Spirit Fruit? I have a thousand-year lava here that can be transferred to the Golden Crow brothers."
"Jinwu, pass this magical power to me, and I am willing to be your bodyguard for a year!"
"I am willing to serve you, Mr. Jinwu Lang. My illusion of clones is extraordinary..."
As the first great sage raised his price, all the demon sages immediately offered chips that they thought could impress Chen Luo.
In the end, Chen Luo chose a female saint.
Not the one who recommended himself as a pillow mat!
It was a great sage of the Hippopotamus clan, and the price given by the other party was a wind crystal that was rare but of little use.
High in the sky, there is a strange wind called Xuanfeng, which is said to be the wind leaking from the gap between the two heavens. This mysterious wind is also called wind seed. Normally it will not fall to the ground, but once it falls to the ground, it will gradually develop into a monstrous hurricane. Therefore, as long as the mysterious wind is noticed entering the ground, it will be sealed by the master overhaul. A wind crystal was formed.
Xuanfeng is already rare, and the Xuanfeng that falls to the ground is even rarer. The Fengjing needs to be sealed within a certain period of time before it can form, so it is naturally extremely rare.
However, it is so rare that it has little effect, because the mysterious wind behind the seal is so explosive that it cannot be absorbed and used at all. And if the wind crystal is broken to release the mysterious wind, the mysterious wind will no longer have the effect of gathering the storm.
Most of the time they are just used as collectibles.
Even the great sage who took it out didn't care about the wind crystal. He originally just took out a flesh and blood magic weapon, and the black crystal was just a decoration on the magic weapon.
Chen Luo naturally didn't care about the wind crystal, but when the wind crystal appeared, Uncle Dan, who had been peacefully in the storage order, had some movement.
Regarding this mysterious egg, Chen Luo has been unable to figure it out, and can only be certain that it is not a mortal object. Since I'm interested in Feng Jing, I'll do it instead.
So under the surprised gazes of the great sages of the monster clan, Chen Luo took the flesh-and-blood magic weapon from the hands of the hippopotamus sage who looked surprised, and put it into the storage order containing the mysterious egg without leaving any trace. Under Chen Luo's induction, the mysterious Mr. Egg shone with light again. Then the wind crystal shattered, and a vortex invisible to the naked eye floated up and was absorbed by the mysterious egg. Then there was a strange character on the shell of the mysterious egg. It emerged that this time after the character appeared, it did not disappear. Instead, it decomposed into a pattern and was imprinted on the shell of the mysterious egg.
After doing all this, the mysterious egg stopped moving, as if nothing had happened.
Chen Luo frowned slightly: That's it?
"Jinwu Langjun?" The Great Sage Hippo saw that Chen Luo had taken his treasure, but was stunned on the spot. He had to hold his throat and shout out with only a few rough yellow fangs remaining.
Chen Luo suddenly came to his senses, quickly took a step back and said, "Auntie, don't worry, I'll give it to you now!"
As he said that, Chen Luo stretched out his hand, and a burst of divine soul power suddenly penetrated the Hippo Monkey King.
After doing all this, Chen Luo directly cut off the power of the soul.
"Uncle, should we rest before going to the next place or go directly to the next place?" Zhu Yaoshou asked considerately.
Chen Luo waved his hand: "I still have things to do, you can make your own arrangements."
"Ah?" Chen Luo's words immediately caused an uproar.
No more playing?
Those great saints who had not understood the magical power looked at each other in confusion.
"Brother Jinwu, don't worry, we will still bid for the next place, so that you won't let your work go in vain."
"Yes, yes, I thought there would be a chance later, so I didn't take out the treasure at the bottom of the box."
"There are at least hundreds of intact tombstones in this elephant garden. Brother Jinwu, don't give up!"
Chen Luo smiled faintly and bowed his hands towards the demon saints: "I came here to take a look today because I heard that my nephew was here."
Zhu Yaoshou immediately raised his chest and head.
"There are other important things in the lower body. Ten is perfect, the sun sets at noon, and the moon waxes and wanes. This is the way of heaven, so it will not continue."
After saying that, he looked at Zhu Yaoshou again: "Be careful."
Zhu Yaoshou suddenly felt warm in his heart and saluted respectfully: "My nephew knows, thank you uncle."
Chen Luo slowly walked towards the last stone tablet, and a wisp of Xiangyuan's breath flew out from the stone tablet and fell into Chen Luo's hands.
"Ten strands, done!" Chen Luo's heart moved, and the ten strands of Xiangyuan's breath suddenly condensed into the shape of a rope. Chen Luo held the "rope", blessed his soul, and pulled hard, and suddenly a power of teleportation enveloped him. Living in Chen Luo, he disappeared directly on the spot.
"As expected of my uncle, even I can't see clearly this flying technique!" Zhu Yaoshou sighed, and then he saw the regretful and disappointed expressions on the faces of many demon sages who had not been able to comprehend magical powers. A thought suddenly struck him Produced in the heart——
"Don't let your uncle's reputation be tarnished!"
So, Zhu Yaoshou quickly clasped his fists and said: "Everyone, everyone!"
"My uncle sent a message to me before he left. This time I can explain to you the magical powers I have acquired. Although I cannot directly understand them, at least you can gain something."
Hearing this, the Rhinoceros Great Sage Xi Liuyou quickly followed up and said: "I will definitely obey what Jinwu Engong said!"
The other eight great saints who had benefited did not know whether it was voluntary or not. At this time, they all expressed their willingness to share the mysteries of magical powers.
"God Yi Boyun!" A demon clan great sage shouted with emotion, "If anyone dares to speak ill of Brother Jinwu in front of me in the future, I will be the first to object!"
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
…
At this time, Chen Luo didn't know that he had accidentally assumed the identity of a Southern Wilderness Demon. With the effect of Xiangyuan's restriction, he was pulled into a room.
"Zen room?" Chen Luo was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that the Elephant House was a place like a cave in a valley. Unexpectedly, when he opened his eyes, he saw smoke curling up in front of him, futons, wooden fish, and rosary beads. It was simply an ordinary Zen room. .
"Is the Elephant Room a Zen room?" Chen Luo was a little confused. He first picked up the wooden fish and rosary beads placed on the wooden table and looked through them. They were indeed treasures and could last for thousands of years, but they were not outstanding.
Chen Luo looked around for a week and found no trace of Xiang Xiang crossing the river.
According to Xiang Feitian, it is very difficult to accumulate ten rays of the breath of the elephant garden and enter the elephant house. Basically, as long as you complete it, you will become a candidate for the saint king of the elephant clan. Even if he is not a holy king of the Elephant Clan, he will definitely join the Elephant Clan Elders Council in the future and become a member with the decision-making power of the Elephant Clan.
Xiang Feitian himself has just accumulated the seven breaths of the Elephant Garden and is not yet qualified to enter the Elephant House, so he cannot explain the specific situation inside the Elephant House to Chen Luo.
He saw a picture hanging on the wall with the four characters "either an elephant or a Buddha" written on it.
Not an image but a Buddha?
Chen Luo hesitated for a moment, then sat cross-legged on the futon, imagining the appearance of the Arhat subduing the dragon.
In an instant, the Book of Buddha and Demon in the Sea of Consciousness once again shone with golden light. A shadow of a dragon-subduing Arhat slowly emerged behind Chen Luo, and Buddhist rhymes rose from Chen Luo's body.
"Namo Amitabha!" A Buddha's chant sounded behind Chen Luo. Chen Luo suddenly opened his eyes, turned around, and saw a figure slowly gathering behind him.
The figure's golden light was brilliant, but not dazzling. It looked extremely gentle. The broad monk's robe covered the other person's figure, but there was an elephant head on his neck.
"Who are you? How come you have my Buddhist charm?"
The elephant monk put his hands together and asked slowly.
Chen Luo looked at Monk Xiang warily and asked doubtfully: "Remnant soul?"
"It's not a remnant soul. The poor monk has passed away, and the descendants of the future generations have retained a trace of the poor monk's Buddhist spirit through this elephant house!"
Chen Luo was shocked, Buddha's intention?
This is not the first time that Chen Luo has seen such an existence. The mountain-guarding monk who often enters samadhi on Fangcun Mountain today is the result of an eminent monk from ancient Buddhism enlightening the Buddha's meaning in a passage of scripture.
Being able to manifest the Buddha's will, then Monk Xiang's cultivation during his lifetime was probably at the ceiling level.
Chen Luo hurriedly clasped his hands together and said, "My disciple, Chen Luo, is a disciple of the Confucian sect. A few days ago, he enlightened himself to the Zen method, and he even obtained the remains of Mount Sumeru, so he has the Buddhist charm rising from his body."
"The wreckage of Mount Sumeru!" The elephant monk's eyes suddenly lit up, he looked at Chen Luo, and then he laughed heartily.
"Rejoice, rejoice. I have passed away for nine thousand and eight hundred years. I am most happy today."
"I'm so happy that I'm going to lose my mind."
Chen Luo was stunned: "Master..."
"Hahahaha, it's just a joke. How can the joy disappear? Besides, I am just a ray of Buddha's mind, where did the spirit come from!" The elephant monk said with a smile, "Are you here to become enlightened?"
"Sit down and receive my enlightenment revelation." Monk Xiang said, "Protect your spiritual platform to be clear and bright, and not to be infected by demons and Buddhas!"
Chen Luo was startled and looked at Monk Xiang in confusion: "Demon Buddha?"
"Well, Demon Buddha!" Monk Xiang seemed not surprised by Chen Luo's reaction and patiently explained, "Today's Buddha is not a Buddha."
"The true Buddhism has entered the netherworld."
"I have heard that after a hundred years of nirvana, the demons will disrupt my righteous Dharma. For example, if a hunter wears dharma robes, the demons will also do the same. They will become monks, sotapanna bodies, and even arhats and Buddhas. body. The devil uses this shape with leaks to create a body without leaks, destroying my righteous Dharma."
"This is a demon, not a Buddha."
Chen Luo listened to Monk Xiang's explanation. The meaning of this sentence is actually that demons sneak into Buddhism, spread cassocks, make Dharma images, change the meaning of scriptures, and destroy the true path of Buddhism.
This is what Confucianism calls the road to seizing one’s body!
Monk Xiang continued: "The evil Buddha will definitely save you. I will enlighten you and protect the spiritual platform. You can deceive the evil Buddha and not be saved by the evil method."
Hearing Monk Xiang's words, Chen Luo's mind suddenly buzzed.
He got it.
Why do the elephants who enter the elephant house eventually be able to control the fate of the elephants?
That's because the Xiang clan who entered the Xiang House have all seen this Monk Xiang, and they all understand that Western Region Buddhism is a false and evil Buddha, and they can also keep their spiritual platform clear under the salvation of Western Region Buddhism!
Combined with the relationship between the Imagination Clan and the Human Clan, the Elephant Clan may be the undercover agents placed by the Confucian Sect in the Buddhist Sect of the Western Regions!
Chen Luo took a breath of air.
So the Xiang clan was exterminated by the Buddhists in the Western Regions!
Chen Luo looked at Monk Xiang again, and Monk Xiang still maintained a gentle smile: "Donor, why don't you sit down?"
Chen Luo sighed and said: "Master, I came here not to enlighten my mind, but for other purposes."
"What purpose?"
"I have an elder who wants to ask Xiang Xiang to cross the river to break through and be promoted to semi-saint!"
Monk Xiang flicked his nose: "Half Saint? Oh... the realm of the Great Bodhisattva."
"Sorry, I can't give it to you!" Monk Xiang said with a gentle voice, "Without the fragrant elephant to cross the river, I can't enlighten the other elephants."
Chen Luo hesitated for a moment and said softly: "No more Elephant Clan will come. The Elephant Clan has been exterminated."
"Buddhism in the Western Regions united with mysterious forces and destroyed the Elephant Clan. Only one great sage of the Elephant Clan escaped."
Monk Xiang was stunned for a moment, and moved for the first time since he appeared.
Monk Xiang walked to the wooden fish, picked up the wooden fish, and looked at Chen Luo: "Donor, wait a moment."
After speaking, Monk Xiang struck the wooden fish and began to read a verse. The verse was not long, but Chen Luo seemed to feel a sense of peace when he heard it.
"Death is not the end..." Monk Xiang put down the wooden fish and smiled kindly at Chen Luo, "Thank you for coming to tell me the news."
"In that case, I'll give you the Xiang Xiang Crossing River!"
As he spoke, a light flashed in the heart of the monk, and then turned into a gem in the shape of a drop of water.
"Master, this fragrant elephant crossing the river is..."
"This is the place where my Buddha's will is sealed, and it is also a relic that the Buddha refined for me in the past..." Monk Xiang said with a smile, "Nine thousand eight hundred years later, I can still help the great scholar of the human race to become a saint. I am happy... …”
"I am so happy that my soul is about to disperse."
"I'm kidding, I'm just a wisp of Buddha's mind, where does my soul come from?"
I saw the fragrant elephant flying across the river from Monk Xiang's body and floating in front of Chen Luo. At the same time, Monk Xiang's figure was quickly dissipating.
"Grandmaster……"
"Donor, I know that you have many questions, but I am just a ray of Buddha's will with many taboos. It is about to dissipate now, so I can answer a question from the benefactor. If the benefactor has anything to ask, please ask quickly."
Chen Luo had countless questions on his mind at this moment, but in the end, he chose that question.
"Master, where has ancient Buddhism gone?"
"Why did you let go of the ten thousand-mile road to heaven and let the devil take over your body?"
The monk-like figure was dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye. He slowly opened his mouth and said, "If you want to save Daqian, you must first save Mingtu."
"Ten thousand years of planning, just for the common people."
"Buddhism is willing to use the ten thousand-mile road to heaven as bait to enter the netherworld with the immature Dharma!"
"Buddha said: If I don't go to hell, who will?"
After the words fell, Monk Xiang disappeared. Only the fragrant elephant crossing the river with crystal light in Chen Luo's hand showed that what Chen Luo had just experienced was not a dream.
Chen Luo suddenly thought of the scene he saw when he obtained the remains of Mount Xumi.
Vast temples, endless monks.
Arhat, Bodhisattva, Buddha!
The precious light is immeasurable.
Until the sky was broken, until the death energy hit them one after another, all the Buddhist disciples did not resist or counterattack, and allowed the temple to collapse and the body to rot.
At that time, there was only a solemn but kind thunder sound in my ears——
"If I don't go to hell, who will?"
(To be continued)
