"It's a scary world."
Ren Qing couldn't help but sigh, and controlled the fungus soul to explore the inner world, and found that the distribution of towns was almost the same as on the surface.
There are a large number of monks in various towns. In the name of hanging pots to help the world, they engage in male thieves and female prostitutes, filling the inner world with despair.
However, Ren Qing did not discover any power system in the inner world.
All people, including monks, are ordinary mortals, but their lifespans are higher and they can live to be one hundred and fifty years old.
Social order was firmly in the hands of many monks.
They control the three religions and nine streams, and are benevolent and moral to the outside world, but in reality there are monks behind brothels and casinos.
Even though the monks would fight overtly and covertly for their merits, they would not hesitate to join forces as soon as they found that the people were suspicious of them.
Only by long-term rule of the town can we harvest merit more stably.
Ren Qing called this group of monks "merit monks".
The meritorious monks also have their own temple, but there is no statue of Buddha in it. According to them, only by believing in oneself can one overcome the sea of suffering.
In Ren Qing's view, simply because of the existence of the Buddha, the people's gratitude to the meritorious monks will become impure, affecting the harvest of merit.
After Ren Qing returned to Sanxiang City, he attached the fungus soul to the body of Taoist Heishui.
After Taoist Heishui experienced the yin and yang separation from his wife and children, his will became extremely depressed and he seemed to have lost the motivation to live.
He wandered aimlessly on the streets every day. When he occasionally saw a monk, he came back to his senses and clasped his hands piously to say hello.
After the great ups and downs, the Taoist monks in Heishui have undoubtedly regarded meritorious monks as good people. If the temple had not accepted them, they might have wanted to become monks.
Wu Shan occasionally went to help Taoist Heishui so that he would not starve to death.
But he is not out of good intentions, but like Taoist Heishui, once his mentality is out of balance and he wants to do evil, it will be difficult to restrain him.
It is inevitable that many disasters will occur, and you can continue to earn merit through this.
Compared with Kong Chan, Wu Shan, who has twenty-three merit relics, is indeed considered cunning and cunning, and he can make all kinds of plans at his fingertips.
Ren Qing had a hunch that Jingzhou on the second level was still not the end.
There must be a process for a monk to ascend to the Western Paradise. He may have to go through multiple layers of screening before finally coming into contact with the three ancestors.
While he was thinking secretly, Taoist Heishui finally stopped being immersed in pain.
Taoist Heishui was now thin, his cheeks were sunken, his eyes were dull, and his hair turned white almost overnight.
He returned to the village outside the city in a daze, causing the villagers to whisper.
Fortunately, it was winter now, so the bodies of his wife and children were not rotten, but there was a smell that attracted scavenging insects.
Taoist Heishui dug a deep pit in the courtyard, buried the bodies of his wife and children in it, and simply made two tombstones.
He also deliberately left a place in the tomb where he would rest after his death.
After completing all this and the first seven days, the Black Water Taoist regained some vitality and sailed the boat to fish in the lake.
Ren Qing was not surprised. Taoist Heishui was originally not a person who worried about gains and losses in the surface world. In fact, he mainly felt that he was ruthless and unscrupulous.
It is a pity that in the inner world, even if Taoist Heishui regains his strength, he will only face more disasters and become a tool for others to obtain merit.
Ren Qing did not choose to follow the Black Water Taoist, because he was too lazy to watch the third-rate bloody plot.
A few days ago, there was even a situation similar to that of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai. In the end, both men and women died in love under the peach tree.
The parents were in grief, and a salvation meeting was hosted by a meritorious monk.
As a result, the meritorious monk used a blind trick and took out two butterflies from his sleeves, saying that their souls were attached to the insects and they were still together.
The way the meritorious monk harvested his merits made Ren Qing feel numb.
There is no need to stop it, because this is the rule of the inner world. An interest group composed of meritorious monks can influence the whole body.
It’s better not to act rashly just yet, lest it interrupts the only clues.
Ren Qing stayed temporarily in the courtyard of Taoist Heishui.
The village where Taoist Heishui is located is sparsely populated. To be precise, it is because there are no merchants and it is difficult to buy bulk supplies in shops.
As a result, most of the population is concentrated in towns and controlled by meritorious monks.
On the contrary, the village is very safe, with only children under the age of fifteen and a few women and children.
Only then did Ren Qing realize why there were more men in the surface world. He originally thought that refining Gu insects required a strong physique, so men had the advantage invisibly.
Now it seems clear that most women are not the targets of meritorious monks.
Merit monks need women to reproduce the population, thereby increasing the efficiency of obtaining merit, so that more people can have the opportunity to ascend to the paradise world.
Ren Qing knew that it was not difficult to go to the inner world, and there was even more than one way.
It completely allows the fungus soul to refine the gateway magic weapon that leads to the mirror world, and the body can go to the inner world through the mirror world.
Or by imitating the evil spirits in Jingzhou, by spreading Ren Qing's name, he should be gradually drawn into the inner world.
There is no rush to spread the name. Besides, whether to attract the forces from the surface world to the inner world is another question.
Therefore, he first needs to determine whether the inner world cannot be practiced, and whether the rules for the formation of the immortal position have changed.
If you rush to the inner world, if the spell fails, wouldn't you be trapped here directly, and you can only use the dead to escape?
With Ren Qing's current powerful body and soul, it would take decades to regenerate his body after death, which would indeed be a waste of time.
Thinking of this, Ren Qing searched around the village and finally took an old dog back to the courtyard.
He planned to try practicing the Corpse Dog Technique. The reason why he chose this technique was mainly because the fungus souls in the inner world were "rabid dog diseases".
The type of rabies disease is rabies in the previous life. Patients are usually afraid of drinking water, become more and more irritable, and have a very high mortality rate.
Under normal circumstances, it is very troublesome to master the cadaver method, but the mad dog disease is related to the physical martial arts "dog beating stick method". Once the physical martial arts is perfected, you can switch to the corpse dog method.
There are different schools of physical martial arts, corresponding to three alienation routes.
The alienation route of the corpse dog method is actually a bit special. Both are related to beast control, but the "corpse dog master" is a corpse dog.
The Corpse Dog Warrior's warrior realm is entirely focused on cultivating corpse dogs, and only in the Half-Corpse realm will they seize their bodies and possess them, so they take over.
Ren Qing infected the old dog with rabid dog disease and began to help the latter learn the cadaver dog method.
As a result, the old dog had no tendency to master the technique at all, and instead died of the rabid dog disease within a few days.
After thinking for a long time, Ren Qing peeled off the rabies virus from the old dog's body, and then the old dog left the courtyard with its tail between its legs.
It seems that in the inner world, mastering magic should not be realistic.
Ren Qing had no choice but to target Gu Insect. In theory, since they were all in the same immortal position, the rules should be related.
Although there is not even half a Gu insect in the inner world, it does not mean that it is impossible to refine Gu.
Ren Qing was thinking about the details of refining Gu when he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps and saw many children walking towards the courtyard.
When the children learned that Taoist Heishui's wife and children had died, they followed the instructions of the women and children and each took some paper money to worship at the grave.
In Jingzhou, there is indeed a saying that children bring happiness.
Although they were a little scared, they still had the courage to walk into the courtyard. After all, the poor had already started their own families and had to help with farm work in their early teens.
Ma Shan was walking in the forefront. At the age of fourteen, his skin was already tanned, and he was patiently explaining to the children beside him.
The children did not dare to neglect. They first used a broom to sweep away the fallen leaves on the ground, and then Ma Shan held the earthen basin and lit it with a fire stick.
They recited the Rebirth Mantra, but it was indeed the Buddhist Pure Land mantra.
"Namo Amitabha Ye, Duotagadu Ye, Duo Di Yeta, Amitadu Povi, Amitaduo..."
Paper money was sprinkled into the brazier, and stars scattered in the air.
The ignorant eyes of the children did not realize the impermanence of life and death at all, but they could still see the sadness in the blood stains on the surface of the tombstone.
"The recitation of the Rebirth Mantra was wrong..."
"who!
"
Mashan's eyes widened and he looked around in disbelief.
His eyes fell on the bottom of the banyan tree. The smoke from the burned paper money slowly gathered, forming a half-meter shadow that resembled a lake, with the head of a dragon and a human body.
The children's expressions changed several times, and finally they were no longer afraid under the influence of the fungus soul.
"Follow me and recite the mantra for rebirth."
"The Supreme Lord has decreed that Chao Ru, your lonely soul and ghosts, will be grateful to all the four living beings..."
After the salvation was completed, the coldness in the courtyard became slightly warmer, the Toe Separation Technique was performed quietly, and the children had completely trusted Ren Qing.
Ren Qing asked the children to help him catch some insects in the mountains and forests around the village.
After Ma Shan heard this, he immediately left the courtyard with the other children excitedly. The experience just now seemed like a dream.
It's not that Ren Qing lacks manpower, but he actually wants to take this opportunity to see if he can use evil methods to travel through multiple worlds.
Suddenly, Ren Qing's expression became strange and his consciousness returned to his original state.
He closed his eyes and felt the difference between his body and soul, and found that there was indeed something subtle and strange, as if his connection with the inner world had deepened.
An inexplicable feeling of detachment came over me.
It seems that even without being told his name, even knowing his own existence can gradually pull Ren Qing into the inner world.
Fortunately, Ren Qing had taken preventive measures against the child's soul. Otherwise, if it had been passed on to ten, it might have been forcibly removed from the surface.
Ren Qing touched his chin and looked at Jingzhou, who was in the dormant stage on the surface.
It's a bit unreliable for him to go to the inner world alone, he still has to find a way to get all the forces there.
Since the meritorious monk thinks that the surface world is hell, if he brings these evil ghosts to the inner world, I wonder what their expressions will be?
Ren Qing was also curious. The paranoid people in the second world were crazy, but they were far from reaching the level of contact with heaven.
What will it be like in the deeper world?
