"I wonder why this centipede is wrapped in so many wild vegetables, fruits, hares and wolves. It turns out that it is really used to feed the hungry."
In Wanhua Temple, Yan Qing was talking to the abbot.
In the yard, the centipede was hovering at low altitude, seeming to enjoy flying as a game.
The neighing sound it makes when flying is somewhat like the sound of gongs and drums, or the sound of monks singing Zen, but it is sharper.
Two quarters of an hour ago, Yan Qing met this centipede monster outside the city. The monster also noticed the unusual aura on his body, became very nervous, and kept neighing.
Fortunately, Yan Qing was careful, thinking about all the things in the city, and then looking at the things wrapped in the evil wind, he made some guesses, took the initiative to restrain his aura, and did not make a move.
The abbot was thin and bald, but there were a few sparse white hairs on the back of his head. Holding a glass of water, he said, "I would also like to thank the benefactor for saving my life. Otherwise, by the time Master Centipede comes back, I'm afraid we would have suffered too." At the hands of those thieves."
The abbot knows what abilities the centipede has.
It is not possible for the centipede to make all the thieves on horseback freeze like wooden stakes.
If Yan Qing hadn't taken action in time, when Centipede flew back, he would have seen not only corpses on the ground, but the appearance of the monks being put into a cauldron and boiled.
Yan Qing nodded slightly and said that he was living in seclusion in the mountains. He had recently left the mountains and came from afar to inquire about the local situation from the abbot.
The abbot of Wanhua Temple has some knowledge and knows that the country they are in is called Weiguo. Although it has only been established for a hundred years, it has had seven emperors, and its relations with several surrounding countries are not good. Listen It is said that they are often attacked by troops, and they have to cede the city in order to survive.
The largest country in the world today seems to be called the Wei Dynasty. Although the names are similar, the population of Wei is said to be more than a hundred times that of Wei. It has been more than two hundred years since the founding of the country and it has only had five emperors.
Just ask where the Wei Dynasty was, and the abbot couldn't tell.
Yan Qing asked him again about the famous strange people and strange things in the world today.
The abbot became interested and immediately started talking about it. It is said that there was a Jinshan Temple on the southern border of the Wei Dynasty. It stood along the river and was built on the mountain. Emperor Taizu of the Wei Dynasty visited Jinshan in his dream and personally inscribed the name "Dragon" on the Jinshan Temple. "You", so some people call it Longyou Temple.
It is said that the eminent monks in Jinshan Temple have supernatural powers. In the past, when the gate of hell was wide open, evil ghosts would cause trouble. The eminent monks in Jinshan Temple could subdue the evil spirits and protect the peace of the place.
"gate of hell?"
Yan Qing asked doubtfully, "Does it mean that on July 15th every year, the gate of hell opens?"
But the abbot shook his head and said: "When the gate of hell opens on July 15th, all that come out are the newly dead ghosts. They go home for a visit and will return to the underworld before dawn."
"But sometimes, on days other than July 15th, things will suddenly open up in certain places."
"Most of the people who broke out during that time were vicious ghosts. There were even cases where the ghost gate would be opened during the day and the sun would not be seen for a month. Within a thousand miles, all humans and animals would die and turn into ghosts. .”
Yan Qing frowned and asked more questions about this matter.
According to the abbot, he had never seen the door of hell open before, but had only seen it in many classics.
However, when he was young, he met several refugees who fled to Weiguo, saying that their hometown had encountered a tragic disaster.
There are too many relevant records in the classics, and many refugees agree that this matter is probably true.
But if they are all true, then ghosts and ghosts are causing trouble too frequently in this world.
Yan Qing keenly felt that perhaps he could start from these things and find out more quickly what was strange about this world.
He planned to go to the capital of Weiguo to check the historical records there, and then inquire about the location of the Wei Dynasty.
Before Yan Qing said goodbye, the old abbot made a request.
"The Centipede layman has been in our Wanhua Temple for many years."
The old abbot said, "When my master was alive, layman Centipede already had some magical powers. According to the master, the monks in our temple are just ordinary mortals who are sheltering in the temple. They are just trying to make a living, and they are not truly determined." , people who have enlightenment and have the opportunity to practice Buddhism.”
"On the contrary, layman Centipede has the opportunity, determination, and understanding. He should have a Dharma name."
"It's just that we are all mortals, how can we give the layman Centipede a Dharma name? I just hope that a real practitioner will show mercy and give the layman a Dharma name."
Yan Qing said: "I am not from Buddhism."
The abbot said: "Donor Yan is a truly virtuous person. It is rare to see him in a hundred years. In our land, we have to wait for another great monk with righteousness to come. I don't know how many years it will take."
Centipede understood their words and stopped flying and circling at this time. It landed on the ground, tilted its head, and looked at Yan Qing eagerly.
"Actually, you don't have to wait too long. Among the idle people over there, there are some who also practice Buddhism..."
Yan Qingdi muttered, but she thought that she didn't know when she would be able to truly find out the details of this world and let the big boss solve the hidden dangers smoothly.
After all, he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll give it a try."
Yan Qing was pacing in the courtyard. The heads of the old monk and the giant centipede turned at exactly the same angle, and their eyes followed Yan Qing's figure.
"There are many poems left by monks in my heart, but they are just deliberately seeking to be elegant, but instead become vulgar."
Yan Qing smiled and said, "Well, I think although you are kind-hearted, the black wind and misty fog during the flight made you look a little too good. It is inevitable that the people will be frightened when they first see you."
"I hope you can make further progress in your cultivation as soon as possible, and that you can be surrounded by auspicious light and white clouds, so that your skin can match your kind heart."
"From now on you will be called Baiyun."
Yan Qing reached out and touched the big centipede's head, "Baiyun layman, Baiyun Zen master."
The big centipede shook its head and tail, rejoicing and very happy.
Yan Qing heard his neighing sound, which was like Zen singing. He must be very talented in the magical power of music. He was really destined to be with him. While stroking the centipede, he used his divine will to teach it a method of practicing music.
This technique can be practiced by anyone, whether human or demon.
The big centipede was even happier. When Yan Qing left, it gave Yan Qing more than ten miles of land and was still reluctant to leave.
Yan Qing smiled and said: "You centipede, you are not young, but your mind is like that of a child. Go back quickly and take good care of the people in the city. We will see you again in the future."
As he spoke, he kneaded the gold leaves in his hands and twisted them into a flute. He played a tune with concentration in the wilderness outside the city.
In a radius of hundreds of miles, despite drought and famine, the water vapor in the land has recovered a lot recently, but everyone has no seeds and no energy to cultivate.
After Yan Qing finished playing this song, it was like the earth was returning to spring, with many buds sprouting from the ground and growing rapidly.
If something unexpected happens again, it can also relieve the immediate worries of the people nearby.
When the big centipede saw the green color, it suddenly remembered something and screamed at Yan Qing.
"Oh? You mean you have to fly far away every time to find food. Once you met two snake spirits. They also know some spiritual practice and can rescue woodcutters and mountain people who fell off the cliff."
Yan Qing was slightly surprised, "The place where they live is also a cave opened by an unknown generation of predecessors. There are many books in it?"
The big centipede suddenly trembled, and a palm-sized carapace fell out from nowhere. It was swept by a stream of air and sent to Yan Qing. There were some patterns carved on the hard shell.
The big centipede couldn't read, but he had a good time chatting with the two snake spirits. Taking this piece of shell over would let them know that Yan Qing was a friend.
"Thank you very much."
Yan Qing put away the hard shell, turned around and left, playing the flute all the way.
Half a day later, he saw the two snake spirits. They turned out to be a green snake and a white snake.
In the cave, there are indeed some classics left by an expert a hundred years ago.
That expert mainly practiced swordsmanship, illusions, and water-shaped magic. He also loved to collect books and books. The things mentioned in them were much more detailed than what the abbot of Wanhua Temple knew.
Although after so many years, a lot of the news may have become outdated, but the things recorded in it about the door of hell being opened made Yan Qing strengthen his judgment.
The strangeness of this world must have something to do with these frequently opened ghost doors.
Yan Qing stayed here for two days, reading ancient books and playing fairy music.
Although this cave was opened by predecessors, the two snake spirits can also be regarded as the descendants of the old owner of the cave. Since their conduct is acceptable, they might as well repay them.
Yan Qing practiced martial arts since childhood and loved music. Later, he entered Liangshan and received the guidance of Master Lin Lingsu, and also practiced the immortal music of Shenxiao Big Thunder Lang.
It is used to attack the enemy, including silent thunder, frightening thunder, fairy palace fantasy, five thunders and other divine powers. It is used to relieve suffering and promote good deeds, but it also has many wonderful functions of rejuvenating all things, purifying the heart and soul, and purifying the blood and marrow.
The two snake spirits help him, and their cultivation has improved in recent days.
The two of them are much older than Centipede, and their cultivation level is also much higher than Centipede's.
If they wanted to, they could already transform into humanoid heads and shoulders, but they were still used to swimming with snake bodies. Now with the help of Fairy Sound, if they took advantage of the situation, they could transform into half a human body, which was extraordinary.
It seems that in a few years, they will be able to transform into full human forms.
………………
Water Margin world.
Yan Qing's real body opened his eyes and relayed everything he had experienced recently to Guan Luoyang, especially the story about the Gate of Hell.
After Guan Luoyang finished listening, his attention was a little off, and he said: "You said that there was a pattern on the back of that centipede, just like the Golden Tathagata, and then you named the centipede Baiyun?"
Yan Qing said in confusion: "The big leader thinks there is something strange about the centipede."
"That's not true. I trust your judgment after personal contact."
Guan Luoyang smiled and said, "It's just a coincidence that you chose this name. I'm a little curious whether the centipede will have a beard or not when it turns into a human form in the future."
Yan Qing thought quickly and said after hearing this: "So, just like our world, it can be called Water Margin, and the big boss has seen stories with similar backgrounds to that world."
"So Centipede is still an important character?"
"Maybe. Even those two snake spirits may grow into very well-known figures."
Guan Luoyang shook his head, "But these are not important. In the Great Void Sea, the number of worlds is infinite. Maybe there is a world where everything that happens is exactly the same as the story I have read."
"But the world you are going to now obviously has a different development from the stories I have read. You still need to explore it carefully."
Yan Qing nodded and closed her eyes again.
Guan Luoyang thought for a moment, then stood up and walked to the edge of the cliff, looking at the crack in the sea of clouds.
After the world on the opposite side collides with the Water Margin world, there will be signs of continued integration. This is a major difference in that world.
But there are still some things that are more subtle, that is, Guan Luoyang discovered that the world opposite him has a causal relationship with him, and it should be a good relationship.
After the collision of the Lord God's light balls caused the coordinates of the worlds to be disordered, some worlds collided and connected together. This may be a pure coincidence, but some worlds were connected due to mutual attraction at the causal level.
For example, Guan Luoyang can clearly feel the connection between entering the Guandong world and himself.
It's because Gu Lanxiang has a destiny from that world, and Gu Lanxiang is Guan Luoyang's good friend. There is such an indirect causal relationship.
In addition, when I was drifting in the Guandong world, I was already relatively close to the Water Margin world, so even with a little indirect cause and effect, I would be slightly affected and drawn closer.
The causal connection between the world on the other side of the crack in the sea of clouds and Guan Luoyang is even closer than the causal connection between the world of Guandong.
Guan Luoyang was confused at first, but now after hearing about some situations over there, he has made a guess.
He stood on the edge of the cliff, raised one palm in front of his chest, and cast the mighty Tianlong spell.
There was a dull golden light in the cracks, and it seemed that there was indeed some connection, but the connection was very shallow, and it was by no means the main reason why that world felt close to me.
Guan Luoyang thought for a moment, turned his palms and pushed forward.
This palm is the palm of the Tathagata. It is not the one he modified himself, but the purest Buddhist artistic conception that he understood from the Xuanmen of Heaven and Earth.
Unexpectedly, after he used this palm, the dull golden light that originally emitted from the crack was extinguished, and the feeling of resistance before appeared again.
"Ah this."
Guan Luoyang's mouth twitched.
It is obvious that the powerful Heavenly Dragon Mantra has been proven to be part of the reason for the good relationship between them. However, it turns out that it is enough to serve as the Tathagata Palm of Ten Thousand Buddhas, but it has had a negative effect.
It seems that the main reason for the good relationship between that realm and Guan Luoyang is not just because of Buddhist techniques.
He gave up trying for the time being and decided to sit back and wait for news.
………………
Qiong Ying's golden bean incarnation experience was smoother than that of Yan Qing.
She did not encounter any horse thieves or monsters. In the city where she appeared, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and all industries were prosperous.
It is lively and lively during the day, and there are many lights at night.
Qiongying just randomly found a teacher and found out some local things.
It turns out that this city was located in the southeast of the Wei Dynasty and was the fiefdom of King Lu.
Although the Wei Dynasty had an emperor, it implemented a feudal system, and only a hundred years later, the attitude of the feudal states towards the emperor was already so perfunctory as to be unspeakable.
The prosperity or decline of various fiefdoms basically had nothing to do with the Wei court. It all depended on how well the princes who were enfeoffed there did.
King Lu was not very capable, but he was very lucky. His fiefdom was close to Mount Laoshan.
The Taoist priests of the Laoshan sect patrolled the surrounding area to catch and drive away demons, making the surrounding area a peaceful place that was rare at that time. Rich households and common people from other places moved here, which naturally made the area prosperous.
It is said that every son of King Lu, when he is twelve years old, will be sent to Laoshan to live for three years to see if he has the qualifications to learn Taoism.
It is a pity that the first six sons returned without success.
Unexpectedly, King Lu had a strong body and had a son in his old age.
This year his seventh son also turned twelve years old, and it happened to be the 300th birthday of the headmaster of Laoshan Mountain. When the gate of the mountain was opened, he planned to take his son to the mountain while celebrating his birthday.
"It's the headmaster's birthday. I believe there will be many practitioners coming to congratulate you."
Qiongying thought, "I want to find out more useful information. Isn't this the perfect occasion?"
