Ke Xiaoliang is polishing his martial arts while absorbing and digesting the feedback from the strange world, which is becoming increasingly abundant.
Although this feedback has not yet become a fixed and complete system, it has also brought some help to Ke Xiaoliang.
A weird world, weirdness has come for a hundred years.
The real escape from the weird, or the human-centered transcendence, has never started.
And this is also the 'problem' that Ke Xiaoliang left to the monks.
The key is that... the solution to this problem still lacks a necessary opportunity. If you want to understand the weird, you must first become them.
Only by becoming them can it be possible to transcend them and establish a higher order of practice above them.
Today's cultivation world has been 'occupied' by blood symbols.
The monks who can use blood talismans and know how to use blood talismans already have at least one in their hands.
And those that cannot be used may never be used, and have no value in fighting for it.
But Ke Xiaoliang’s leek field cannot stop there.
Otherwise, the further you develop, the more magic points you will need, and the expenditure just to maintain the four worlds will already be an astronomical amount.
In addition to being like an old mother, urging the monks to make progress, gain stronger strength, and output more magic values, Ke Xiaoliang has already identified the new leek field and is waiting for the opportunity to come.
In the dead of night.
In the Jiming Temple, there was a sudden strong wind, lightning and thunder.
An old monk lay on the bed and slept soundly.
After a while, the wind dissipated and the rain dispersed, and the thunder and lightning subsided.
Accompanied by the evil wind, the two ghosts crossed the ghost gate and appeared at the gate of the temple.
"He is a virtuous eminent monk with profound merits. There is no need to do much, and the calamity will disappear on its own. Mr. Xu! Remember to be careful later. This kind of meritorious people will be blessed by heaven. Although our underworld artifact is above many rules , but what we have in our hands is just a shadow after all." One of the ghosts said to the other.
The two ignored the Buddha's seal on the door of the temple and walked through the door holding the soul-catching rope and soul-beating stick, holding the book of life and death.
After seeing the old monk sleeping soundly on the bed, one of the ghost servants couldn't wait to pull out the hook in his hand.
Practitioners with meritorious deeds often live longer, which also shows that they have accumulated profound skills.
If absorbed, it can offset decades of hard work.
Wow!
The chains flew out and forcefully pulled out the old monk's soul.
Then the old monk will be locked tightly and dragged into the underworld.
However, a moment later, the old monk's soul turned into a string of Buddhist beads and fell to the ground.
At the same time, lying on the bed, the old monk's body also turned into a black iron rope.
It's a cover-up.
The iron rope and the hooking rope are phantom connected.
Buddhist mantras and some special marks flashed on the iron rope.
The phantom of Soul Hooking Rope was temporarily sealed on the iron rope.
The bed board was lifted, and a bald monk jumped up, grabbed the iron rope, and threw it towards one of the two ghost servants.
Wow!
With the sound of the iron rope, the unprepared ghost was hit by the soul hook, and his soul was bound, and he lost the ability to resist like the soul of an ordinary monk.
"What?"
"Monk! What method are you using?" Another ghost servant waved the shadow of the soul-beating stick in his hand, about to interrupt the iron rope.
However, he discovered that the phantom of the soul-beating stick, which was originally almost invincible against mortal magic weapons, could not interrupt the casting of the iron rope.
The monk held the Buddhist beads with both hands, recited the Buddhist mantra, and at the same time made an outer lion seal, and shouted: "Om!"
The two ghosts immediately fell into a trance and their souls and bodies were unstable.
The monk waved his sleeves and took out a water mill Zen staff, hitting the trapped ghost.
At this time, a thousand birds in the forest is not as good as a bird in the hand.
When another ghost messenger saw that the seduction failed, he also gave up the entanglement, turned into a black smoke, and disappeared into the Zen room. Then he quickly escaped back to the underworld and reported the truth to the underworld judge.
Guizhao, who was bound by the iron rope, was struck by the water mill Zen rod, and his soul was shattered and completely annihilated.
But the monk smiled, obviously very satisfied with the increased life span he had gained.
As for Buddhist precepts, they seem not to be important in the face of the great road of life and death.
What's more... the ghost is a dead person, and killing the ghost after death... isn't that considered murder?
Deep in the underworld, in the Senluo Hall, the judge looked at the more solid shadows of the Book of Life and Death, the mortal monks who had extended their lifespans in large numbers, and then looked at the dozens of extinguished soul lamps on the ghost wall beside him. His face became more and more ugly.
These soul lamps have all been extinguished recently.
In just a few dozen days, the number of ghosts lost was actually the total amount lost in the past hundreds of years.
There must be some changes in the mortal world that he doesn't understand yet.
A gust of wind blew in.
In an instant, the silhouette of an old man wearing linen clothes, with bare feet, a high crown on his head, and a long beard and eyebrows suddenly appeared in front of the judge.
"Judge Lu Jinnian of the Thirty-seventh Bing Realm, please bow to the Emperor!" The judge knelt down and said to the old man.
"Judge Lu Jinnian of the Thirty-seventh Bing Realm! In the mortal world under your jurisdiction, there are monks who have stolen the aura of the underworld artifact. I order you to find out quickly." The old man said to the judge.
The judge immediately said: "Please ask the emperor to issue a decree, so that my subordinates can walk in the world without attracting the troubles of immortals and Buddhas, and the siege of demons and demons."
The old man nodded, then waved his sleeves.
A black talisman gathered in the air and was branded on the judge's forehead.
"Go! Don't do unnecessary things, and don't make causal connections with mortals, otherwise you will have to repay it yourself." After saying that, the old man disappeared.
The judge touched the talisman on his forehead, then swayed, transformed into a clone, and continued to operate in the Senluo Hall.
But the real body stepped directly out of the underworld and entered the mortal world.
"It's been so many years since I've been back!"
“But I don’t know if everything is okay!”
"But... it has nothing to do with me anymore. It has no direct connection or cause and effect with mortal people and mortal things. This is the way to protect myself. In another thousand years, I will be able to enter the real ghost world." world and become a pivotal judge." Lu Jinnian thought to himself.
Then in an instant, he flew to Jiming Temple.
Transforming into a peach tree, I saw the old monk who had returned to youth, holding a string of iron ropes, dancing in his hands like a tiger and a tiger.
"He actually integrated a wisp of the soul-grabbing rope into a mortal magical weapon... How is this possible?" Lu Jinnian was surprised.
Then he reached out and grabbed the chain.
But the moment he touched the chain, his soul became slightly unstable.
"What's going on... The power of the soul hook is actually coming back to bite me. Is it controlled by that monk?"
"No... the monk doesn't have this ability. It was the hook that gave birth to the alien intention. It was the hook... or the breath of the hook that began to actively welcome new possibilities. That's why it resisted me."
"What is going on?" Lu Jinnian, who originally thought it was just a simple emergency, suddenly felt that this matter was not that simple... There must be a huge secret behind it.
