The cruelest thing in the world is not ignorance, but knowing too much but not being able to get it.
You can't get what you ask for, and you look like you're crazy, and then you have an illusion!
Everyone in the palace thought that Emperor Taishi went crazy after taking the pill, but he was the only one who knew that he was not crazy. Everything he said in babbling words was seen with his own eyes.
Thousand-year-old jujube tree, blood vine demon, black pearl grass, purple salvia, yin and yang fruit, five-color auspicious cloud zhi, jianmu...
After a long time.
The picture in front of Taishi Emperor's eyes collapsed, his muttering gradually died down, and he sat cross-legged on the futon.
Leng You glanced at everyone in the hall. They all bowed their heads and had expressionless faces. How could he not guess what the people below were thinking? They probably thought that he was talking nonsense.
"Why doesn't Master Xu get up?"
"I am so excited that I would like to congratulate Your Majesty!"
Xu Zhenren knelt on the ground and shivered. The elixir was indeed real and came from the Buddhist and Taoist heritage. However, alchemy still required alchemy furnaces, magic spells, and spiritual fire. Now it could only be replaced by a bronze tripod of ordinary fire.
As a result, three furnaces were broken in a row, wasting a rare amount of elixir.
Fortunately, I read through ancient Taoist books a few days ago and found the method of using lead and mercury as the inner elixir. The two were combined to create a magical elixir.
The appearance is similar to that in the classics. As for the medicinal effect, Master Xu doesn't dare to eat it anyway.
Based on his limited experience in alchemy, Xu Zhenren judged that taking this elixir is not as effective as taking the elixir raw. However, he did not dare to say what he was thinking. Once His Majesty knew about it, he would have to change the master of the temple.
"Pass the decree that Master Xu has made great achievements in alchemy. He will be granted the title of True Monarch Huai Xuan Ji Miao Guang Zu. He will be given a purple robe and a reward of ten thousand gold. He will also order a statue in Baiyun Temple to be used as an offering of incense!"
Emperor Taishi said slowly: "The real person continues to refine the elixir. I will ask the imperial army to send the elixir. At least one pot will be successful every month!"
After cultivating Qi and Blood martial arts to the point of condensation, he could only eat half a cow in one meal to fill his stomach. However, since leaving Kunlun Mountain, even if he eats to the top of his throat and fills his belly, he still feels hungry from his soul.
When he was young, he could still be patient, and he could barely drive away the greed in his heart with the joy of leading an army to conquer the world.
Now Taishi Emperor is nearly eighty years old. He is sitting on the power of Qingguo and intimidating the other countries in Yunzhou. He has reached the pinnacle of mortal life. Apart from cultivating immortals and immortality, there is nothing else that can be seen in this world!
I took the elixir today and the scent of spiritual energy invaded my bone marrow!
"I will spend my whole life looking for Kunlun Mountain!"
Emperor Taishi took out the Tai'a sword from his waist. It was as green as jade and pointed diagonally at the sky.
"If I don't live forever, no matter how powerful I am, I will be nothing more than a handful of loess in a hundred years!"
When these words were spoken, the ministers and servants in the palace were so frightened that they immediately knelt down, kowtowed three times and bowed nine times.
"Long live your Majesty, long live, long live your Majesty!"
…
After the change.
In order to prevent the secular king from counterattack, the Buddhist monks seized the Buddhist dominance.
Therefore, before the spiritual energy completely dissipates, the kings and royal families of Yizhou are invited to go to the Paradise of Paradise and change its name to Fozhou.
Fozhou is divided into twelve Buddha lands, governed by twelve upper courts and temples. The division of the state capitals under its jurisdiction is similar to that of the original imperial court, governed by the middle court and the lower court.
Since monks had to recite sutras and practice Buddhism and did not have much time to manage the place, they appointed lay disciples as officials and classified them into the second class. The first-class people are naturally monks, the third-class people are farmers, industry and merchants, and the fourth-class people are criminals, slaves, etc.
Divide people into four classes, with fixed occupations and levels to facilitate management, like a pyramid from top to bottom.
With the help of Buddhist classics such as karma and retribution, reincarnation and reincarnation, the people who are tamed and governed endure hardships, and then they can be reincarnated as monks in the next life, and their bodies and souls are all imprisoned.
Over the past hundreds of years, instead of large-scale rebellions, Buddhist rule has become more solid.
As for all scriptures other than Buddhist scriptures, such as the Four Books and Five Classics, history books and biographies, if the reader commits a serious crime of blasphemy against the Buddha, his whole family will be classified as a fourth class person and must endure hardship for three lives before being liberated.
This is just the overall structure. Buddhism has set levels in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Walking in the Buddhist city, you can clearly distinguish the differences between the four classes of people based on the color of their clothes, their means of transportation, the food they eat, and the rules of their houses.
Bodhi Buddha Land.
Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.
It is said that Buddhism originated here, and it can be said to be the sect of ten thousand Buddhas and the actual ruler of Buddha Island.
The Great Hall.
The pure gold Buddha statue, which is several feet tall, has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, looking at the believers below with a smile.
Among them is an old monk with long eyebrows. He has a tall frame and his whole body is as solid as red gold. There are more than ten monks on the left and right, some old or young, with distant eyes, and they all look compassionate.
The only person who spoke in the hall was a monk in ragged clothes and a scarred monk, who told about the experiences of the Buddhist monks in Yunzhou.
"...After Emperor Taishi destroyed the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple in Qianjing, he destroyed the mountains and temples and burned all the Buddhist scriptures. He sent soldiers, royal guards and chamberlains to search for monks, and killed them if they dared to resist. Even laymen were imprisoned."
"The poor monk and hundreds of warrior monks traveled westward, passing through Jizhou for tens of thousands of miles, and when they arrived at Fozhou, only one disciple remained!"
At this point, the monk exposed the scar on his chest, penetrated it with an arrow, and died on the spot after missing it by a few seconds. He continued: "When we arrived at the border of Fozhou, the poor monk was treated by the believers, and he was lucky enough to survive, so that he could tell the story about Yunzhou back. "
"Amitabha!"
The old monk with long eyebrows said: "The believers in this family have great merits and virtues. Allow their son to be ordained as a monk and enjoy the bliss of Buddhism."
The monk in the prison on the left stood up and accepted the order: "I will obey the Zen Master's decree!"
The old monk asked the people around him: "What do you think about the Yunzhou incident?"
A monk said: "Emperor Taishi admired the Buddha and opposed Xuanxiao, and he also tried to destroy the Buddha. He should be punished!"
Another monk said: "Zen Master, this poor monk is willing to lead a hundred thousand monk soldiers to Yunzhou to spread Buddhism and overthrow the tyranny of the Qingguo puppet emperor!"
"The poor monk is also willing to go!"
"..."
"Amitabha!"
The old monk with long eyebrows proclaimed the Buddha's name and said: "The false emperor's strength has reached the innate level, which is the best in the world. This person will not be able to survive without death."
The monks nodded slightly. On the surface, they looked down upon Emperor Taishi, but in fact, he was a strong man who could rule Yunzhou, which was beyond the control of ordinary monks and soldiers.
"What do you think, Zen Master?"
"wait!"
The old monk with long eyebrows said: "The false emperor is obsessed with the immortal way and is almost crazy. When he betrays his relatives and abandons his relatives, the people will be devastated. We will ask the Buddha to kill him, so that we can intimidate the other countries in Yunzhou and subdue the people."
A monk asked doubtfully: "Zen Master, Yunzhou is tens of thousands of miles away. Is it worth using Buddha's treasure?"
After Xuan Xiao killed Miao Shan, he did not take away the most precious treasure of the Buddhist sect. He spent a lot of spiritual objects to seal it up, and it has been reduced to a magic weapon. To activate the Buddha treasure, a large amount of spiritual energy is consumed, which is equivalent to consuming the foundation of Buddhism and shaking the foundation of rule.
"My Buddha has governed the Buddha Island for three hundred years, and the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment, with adequate food and clothing. It is a hundred times more peaceful and happy than under the rule of a dynasty."
The monk with long eyebrows said slowly: "In order to seek immortality, the false emperor made heavy labor and cruelty, so that the people had no way to live. It is just in time for the Buddhism to travel eastward. My Buddha illuminates thousands of people, and it is in accordance with the will of God and the people!"
"The hundreds of millions of people in Jiuzhou should bathe in the grace of the Buddha and enjoy the bliss of my Buddha!"
…
The words are divided into two parts.
Spirit Sword City.
Zhou Yi stayed in Qingzhou for ten years, and the rocking chair he lay on every day was bright and lubricated by friction.
"Xiao Linzi, you have learned the Five Elements Flash Technique. I have nothing to teach you anymore."
The technique of instantaneous flash is a secret technique deduced by Zhou Yi by combining the Five Elements Escape Technique with Qinggong. It consumes mana instead of energy and blood. After it is performed, the speed increases and it instantly flies over ten feet away, and it can penetrate the five elements.
This method is no longer a pure martial art. The mystery is similar to a spell, but it consumes too much energy and blood, so you can only use the secret card!
"Immortal, are you leaving?"
Lin Fan's Qi and blood flowed out of his body, and he leapt down next to Zhou Yi with a look of reluctance on his face: "If you don't want to become an immortal, I will stay in the mortal world. I will work hard to earn money and provide for you until you die."
"Hmph, the last guy who said that, Pindao has already buried him three times!"
Zhou Yi's body changed into a young one, and he sighed: "This is the end of my fate, there is no need to miss him. I have to go back to Kunlun Mountain to practice."
"Then will I be able to make a living in the world from now on?"
Lin Fan looked hesitant and expectant. After ten years of silent cultivation, he finally condensed his energy and blood into his apertures. Over time, he turned the acupoints into blood elixirs. However, he was still far away from the realm of breaking mountains with one sword.
With the speed of a flash, he thrust the sword with all his strength and could only break a bluestone three to four feet in size.
"sure."
Zhou Yi looked a little strange, trying hard to suppress his thoughts of hiding behind him and watching the fun, and said solemnly: "A simple slap can kill three to four thousand warriors in the Condensing Aperture Realm. When you go out to explore the world, remember to be careful!"
The Qi and Blood Martial Arts Condensation Aperture is equivalent to the Innate Grandmaster, which is the early stage of cultivating immortality and refining Qi.
Zhou Yi doesn't know how many innate warriors there are in Jiuzhou, and it probably won't exceed three figures.
Martial arts practice does not seem to rely on spiritual energy, but without the support of immortal elixirs, the number of innate masters is far less than before the extinction of spiritual energy, including the old immortals hidden in Buddhism and Taoism.
"gone."
Zhou Yi waved goodbye and left gracefully. The ten years he spent with Lin Fan were quite warm, but it could not be a reason to stay.
The only thing in the world that can go with Zhou Yi is time!
Seeing that he couldn't hold it back, Lin Fan knelt down on the ground and kowtowed three times and said nine times: "Immortal, I have been having a question for the past ten years. Can you tell me to clear it up?"
"Just ask."
Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows and could probably guess Lin Fan's thoughts.
"Back then, I was lucky enough to be recognized as the owner of the fairy sword, but I was just a kid who didn't know martial arts. With your strength, Immortal, you can take the fairy sword away silently."
Lin Fan said: "Either in exchange for sword skills, or giving a spiritual elixir, there is no need to bother teaching him for ten years!"
"First of all, I didn't put any effort into it. Ten years is just a blink of an eye for me."
Zhou Yi explained: "Secondly, if a poor Taoist takes away the Light Sword, he should be compensated for the corresponding value. How can he deceive you for a mere treasure? Today he will lie to you about the fairy sword, and tomorrow he will lie about inheriting it. Over time, he has lost his original intention! "
"Pindao has lived a long time and is strong enough, but if he loses his original intention, he will fall into the abyss sooner or later!"
"One day I used to use five buckets of spiritual rice to deceive people, and I provoked a bad guy. I'm learning from the past..."
Zhou Yi didn't care whether Lin Fan understood it or not, he said this to himself: "That immortal sword has an extraordinary origin, but it is just a cripple. Trying its best, it can only push you to become an innate master."
"Now I have obtained the treasure, the fairy sword has preserved my spiritual consciousness, and you have achieved innateness. It is the best of all three, and we owe nothing to each other!"
"I see."
Lin Fan had a vague understanding and felt a little disappointed in his heart. Na Na said: "Does that mean that in the future, when I walk in the world, I cannot use the name of an immortal? If I am in trouble, the immortal will not come to save me?"
"Children can be taught!"
Zhou Yi believes in cause and effect, but is not bound by cause and effect. If the value that needs to be paid is too high, he will simply abandon the lightsaber.
I am fortunate to gain it, and I will not force it if I lose it.
Without obsession, there will be no disaster!
"Be careful when traveling in the world, and don't die on the street, otherwise I will think of you in the future, and there won't even be a place to worship and burn paper..."
The lingering sound was faint, and the figure had disappeared.
Lin Fan kowtowed a few times. Even if this was a fair transaction, the ten years of teachings cannot be faked.
"Don't worry, Immortal, I will never disgrace the name of Kunlun!"
The immortal would not allow him to walk by his name, so he would directly use the name of the mountain and travel around the world calling himself a disciple of Kunlun.
"That's it!"
Lin Fan stood up, slung the iron bar for sword practice around his waist, and planned to go to his brother-in-law's house to say goodbye to his sister.
Just went out.
He met the handsome young man in white, riding in a gauze sedan chair carried by four strong men, followed by eight beautiful sword attendants.
Pedestrians along the street gave way, whispering and praising the young master. It turned out to be Wu Kun, the young master of the Sword Building Hall, who was rumored to have the appearance of a martial emperor!
"Martial Emperor! Martial Arts Emperor, what a domineering name."
Lin Fan sensed carefully and couldn't detect the depth of Wu Kun's strength. He might have reached the realm of transformation, so he stepped forward to ask for advice with an excited look on his face: "I'm a junior in martial arts, please give me some advice..."
Unexpectedly, before he got close to the distance of three feet, the sword attendant frowned slightly, jumped out of the column, drew his sword and stabbed!
Lin Fan has been cultivating for ten years and has never fought with anyone in actual combat. No matter how much his energy and blood increase, he can only survive for a few more breaths under the training of the immortals.
Seeing the sharp sword thrust at this moment, Lin Fan pulled out the iron bar from his waist and struck vertically like an instinct.
Qi and blood flow out of the body, and shouting loudly increases the courage.
"gravel!"
boom!
The surging sword energy fell, and the maid turned into rainwater on the spot, falling slowly and dyeing the streets blood red.
"..."
Wu Kun wiped his face and saw that his hands were bright red. He was so frightened that he screamed: "Help! There is an assassin!"
How could Lin Fan not know that he had caused a big disaster? He used his teleportation to pass through several houses and disappeared in a leap.
at this time.
Zhou Yi changed into another face. He just came out of the yellow paper shop and saw the chaos on the street.
"Pindao has taught this guy for ten years, how much merit he has accumulated!"
After that, he turned into a escaping light and flew towards Yunzhou.
…
Baiyun Peak.
Zhou Yi stood in the sky, looking at the mountain peak below that was missing most of it, and shook his head helplessly.
"Sooner or later, it will be dug into flat ground and it will have to be replaced by a hill!"
Fortunately, the Earth Fire Palace was built three hundred feet underground. Even if Emperor Taishi learned about it from the Baiyun Temple classics, it would be difficult to dig a thousand meters deep.
Some yellow paper was burned in front of each grave, including his own tomb.
Then Zhou Yi went to Laobai's tomb and said something. Thousands of years had passed, and reincarnation was long overdue.
"It is rumored that Buddhism's secret method of nirvana and reincarnation is used to find the reincarnation of eminent monks. It is a pity that Wanfo Temple escaped the disaster, otherwise Pindaoding will fulfill its agreement with you."
"I'm not in a hurry, I have plenty of time to wait until my Buddhist heritage is exhausted, and I can browse all the classics in my collection."
After the worship, Zhou Yi turned into a escaping light and flew south to Shiwan Mountain.
Thorn Ridge.
Moyun City.
Zhou Yi stood in the sky and saw that the city had expanded several times and was quite lively and prosperous.
"After that, I will find a hilltop nearby and continue to cultivate and enlightenment!"
