What is it like to be a saint?

Chapter 524
In midsummer, the water is so light.

Xu Ji sat cross-legged under the willow tree, sensing new nodes one after another, taking shape in the distance.

The branches of the willow tree became more and more luxuriant.

The trunk is growing day by day, and the branches are intertwined, going deep into the ground, intertwining with mountains and rivers and spiritual veins.

Willow is slowly breaking through that layer of shackles.

further fetters that beset him.

This also means that the shackles on Huaguo and the students are gradually being loosened.

"It's getting more and more like playing game boss!" Xu Ji thought.

The blood lock boss is a classic design of many games.

What F4, F3, share the same blood, but have different skills.

It's useless to kill one at all, you must kill all of them at the same time to pass the level.

Huaguo is a bit like this now, everything is tied together.

However, Xu Ji was very happy about it.

It even feels like this world is normal.

So, Xu Ji sat like this, feeling, and comprehending the piece of green lotus in the soapy black Excalibur.

Learning and getting used to, observe and feel this mythical world with the supernatural powers and mana of Taoist ancestors.

Until one day, Xu Ji suddenly opened his eyes.

He looks west.

The sight sees a gigantic Buddha falling from the western sky.

The golden body of the Buddha ignited a nameless flame.

Faintly, it seems that there are 24 stars falling from the sky.

"This is... the death of the Buddha!" ​​Xu Ji knew such a word subconsciously, and then understood the meaning of it.

Nirvana, death, death.

It's all one meaning.

It is a stage in the practice process, a practice method of Buddhism.

Everything is empty and impermanent.

Therefore, the physical body is empty, the Buddha is empty, and even the soul is empty.

The end of emptiness is stillness, nothingness.

Therefore, for the Buddha to attain enlightenment, he needs to die.

After nirvana is nothingness, rebirth from nothingness, you can enter a new stage of practice.

"But... why would I know?" Xu Ji looked at the giant Buddha in the western sky, burning up in the flames of ignorance, and couldn't help thinking about it.

Yes!

Why would you know this?and not something else?
Is it because the level of that Buddha is high enough, so automatic perception is inevitable?

A passive that belongs to a Daoist-level figure?

Or... for other reasons.

For example, did the Buddha have enmity with the old gods?
Or maybe both?
Xu Ji didn't quite understand, but he understood that maybe he should pay more attention to the West from now on.

"I don't know what is the rank of the Tathagata Buddha at the current time point in this mythical world?"

"Is it also a Daoist-level figure?"

Xu Ji muttered to himself.

……

It's one o'clock in the morning.

Master Tongtian put down his mobile phone, stood up, walked to the glass window of the balcony, and looked at the dimly lit night scene outside the window.

"The mortals in this world are indeed using their ingenuity to study how to kill each other!"

The video and encyclopedia introduction just watched introduced to the saint the tragic war that once took place in this world.

Tens of thousands of mortals, armed with steel, are fighting each other.

In the war of mortals, everything will be used to the extreme!

Poisonous gas, plague, flames...

Everything that could kill was created.

They even developed the same attack methods as the prehistoric magic weapon.

Cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, drones, precision-guided bombs...

How to kill efficiently how to come, how to destroy quickly how to come.

Therefore, the mortal kingdoms in this world have begun to equip and arm a large number of weapons that can destroy enemy cities in an instant.

That is the so-called nuclear weapons!
Judging from the videos and text introductions I have seen, it is precisely because of this ultimate weapon of destruction created by mortals that this world has finally ushered in decades of peace.

The nuclear balance between major powers has brought the intensity and scale of the war under control.

So much so that some mortals have a whimsical idea: "Nuclear weapons are the backbone of maintaining world peace!"

however……

Master Tongtian doesn't see it that way.

Recalling the scene of the exploding fireball soaring into the sky in the video I watched.

The shock wave swept across everything, and the blazing light and heat quickly melted everything.

It seems that it is indeed powerful.

However, in the eyes of a saint, the power of such a weapon is nothing more than a blow from a golden fairy.

It is far inferior to the battle between the demon gods who manifested their real bodies and the ancestor witches in the heaven and earth in the Lich catastrophe!

The Zuwu Gonggong fought against the fire god Zhurong, smashing Buzhou Mountain into pieces, and the sky fell and the earth fell!
The demon emperor Taiyi fought with the ancestor witch, tore apart the stars, shattered the ancient Xinghan, and turned into the later Tianhe.

The demon emperor Di Jun swept across the prehistoric world with a great array of Zhoutian stars, shattering fairy mountains and rivers.

In contrast, the so-called nuclear weapons of mortals in this world were just appetizers in that great war.

Even if thousands of so-called nuclear bombs explode at the same time, the power produced may not be as powerful as the aftermath of any of these tragic battles!
If such aftermath exploded on Mount Buzhou, at most it would shatter a few stones on Mount Buzhou and collapse several caves.

Other than that, Bu Zhoushan wouldn't even move.

In this world, it is probably just an earthquake.

At most a little bigger, a little scary.

But want to destroy the world?
impossible!
Not to mention destroying this world, I am afraid that even the mortal world cannot be destroyed!

This is the judgment made by the sage after initially browsing the data and descriptions of the so-called nuclear weapons in this world.

Then the problem is coming.

Since the Master Tongtian can rely on the videos and text descriptions found on the so-called Internet, he can conclude that nuclear weapons cannot destroy the world, and even cannot achieve the "mutual destruction" guaranteed by the so-called "nuclear powers".

So, will these nuclear powers who have 'nuclear weapons' and have done countless experiments know?

The answer is probably already obvious.

Maybe, the court centers of the major countries in this world all have a plan to fight a nuclear war with the enemy (opponent).

For these people, they must know more than the Lord Tongtian.

They must also understand this.

and so……

Why, in the past few decades, there has been no fight?
Master Tongtian looked at the dimly lit city, he opened the window and let the evening breeze blow, he already had the answer in his heart.

fear death!

The mortal nobles and high-level people in this world are all in big cities.

And big cities are the key targets of nuclear weapons.

Especially the center of the imperial court is the most important thing.

"It seems that I need to discuss it with Xu Ji!"

"For the mortal courts in this world, before the Yuanying, don't make too much hatred!"

Why are nuclear weapons not used?

Because I am afraid of death!

Afraid of being retaliated!

If this is the case, even if the so-called nuclear war is won, those who enjoy the fruits of victory will not start the war.

The opponent will definitely do its best to destroy the hostile country's core that launched the war.

However, what if the target is an individual?
As soon as he thought of this, Master Tongtian remembered what Xu Ji had told him about the relationship between the mortal court under his feet.

I also thought of the magic circle on the barren hills in the outskirts and the ghost tree left behind.

The sage then knew how Xu Ji should avoid being the target of other mortal courts.

"After picking the spiritual fruit of the so-called 'Naga Ghost Tree', you can open a furnace to refine a furnace of longevity pill!"

"The Great Desolation Life Extension Pill can prolong the life of mortals by one year!"

"Although the aura in this world is thin and the power of the medicine is greatly reduced, it can prolong your life for twenty years!"

"With this elixir as bait, you should be able to gain [-] years of training time!"

A furnace of Longevity Pills is sixty pills, if the sage opens the furnace himself, he can get ninety-nine 81 pills.

Give it to the center of this country to win over the mortal nobles in this world, and open the door for Xu Ji to practice.

In particular, to find clues to the visitors from the wilderness, we will need the help of mortals in this world in the future!
……

Midnight in Manila is silent.

There was no one on the huge street.

Li Xiaofeng sat in a special bulletproof car, staring at the cold street.

But in his mind, he was recalling all kinds of things just now.

"President Li, I'm counting on you this time!" The aging Japanese giant, wearing a kimono, solemnly begged him: "Once the Sakura Project succeeds, we will never treat you badly!"

"Not only the things you promised, but you will definitely offer them with both hands. You can also discuss other things you want!"

Li Xiaofeng sighed lightly: "Mr. Fujita, you are really old!"

"Same as Dongying!"

If it was in the past, how could Mr. Fujita be polite to him?

How can you be so polite?

It can only be said that today's Dongpu is no longer the Dongpu that he needed to look up to and fawn on back then.

Today's Mr. Fujita is no longer the big man who could easily decide his life and death.

He, the former son-in-law of Silla, the adopted son of Dongying, has been able to negotiate on an equal footing with such a big man as Mr. Fujita.

"Sakura Project?" Li Xiaofeng recalled the plan of Mr. Fujita and the Dongying people.

With the strength of several security consortiums, a force capable of subverting the situation in an instant was assembled.

Under the noses of Citigroup and the Republic, take a decisive action, kill that 'immortal' instantly, and create an established fact!

This is the bottom line!
The Dongying Consortium's solo walk!

Typical Japanese painting style!
pity……

Li Xiaofeng sighed, the mobile phone in his hand was being gently played with.

He's just from Silla!

He just married a Japanese wife!

And Silla people have no tradition of lowering the upper limit!
For more than 1000 years, the greatness of things has penetrated into the bone marrow!
In reality, it is impossible for Silla's consortium to have the courage to go alone.

The Citi Command at Yongsan Base is the highest command of Silla.

In every consortium in Silla, there are directors of Citigroup.

Moreover, in the board of directors, Citigroupers can make a veto when necessary.

So, just thinking for a moment, Li Xiaofeng dialed a number.

After beeping, the phone was connected.

"Professor..." Li Xiaofeng said with a trembling voice, "I am Li Xiaofeng from Seven Star Financial Group!"

"I want to report to you!"

No matter how close Li Xiaofeng is to Dongying, he also understands a solid fact: only Citigroup is the only master!
……

Cruy put down the phone with a smirk.

"What a good Snoopy!" he commented.

This is the highest evaluation of Citi people for their vassals!
Snoopy, in Citi language, is never a derogatory term.

On the contrary, it is a compliment.

Loyal, brave and fierce hound, it is the traditional partner of the Citigroup.

It is an indispensable member of the family!
"Do you want to warn the Japanese people?" Vincent asked beside him.

"No need!" Cruy waved his hand: "Let them go and do it!"

"We don't support, we don't oppose, we don't obstruct!"

"It's the same as the rewards for Mr. G!" Cruy smiled and turned on the projection screen in the office.

The live battlefield recorded by drones, satellites, cameras, multi-camera, multi-angle, and multi-direction appears on the projection screen.

"It's really a conflict of a new era!" Cruy praised unceasingly.

Vincent looked at and nodded: "Indeed!"

"It's not that we joined hands with the eastern republics to cut off the local network signal...I'm afraid this conflict on the border between Khmer and Siam will become an epoch-making conflict!"

"The war can be presented to everyone in a live broadcast!"

"Every participant in a war can become a media and a reporter!"

"The details of every battle and every conflict can be put on the Internet and become information for discussion and comment!"

On the dark web, hundreds of videos from different perspectives have appeared.

Some people even used precious satellite resources to broadcast live in the dark.

The Holy Roman side has obtained hundreds of terabytes of video data in the past few hours.

However, outside the dark net, everything is calm, and the whole world does not know that there are already tens of thousands of armed men fighting in a ball in the valley triangle area on this planet.

The participating parties even began to use more than 120 mm of heavy firepower to suppress and strike the enemy!
Dozens of long-endurance drones hover over the battlefield continuously, investigating, discovering, and striking.

Almost all parties involved feel that they have won.

The people of Holy Rome, seeing the rising intensity of the eastern conflict, deeply felt the value of 20 holy coins!
At least it is worth more than letting Citigroup plan another Kosovo conflict in its own sphere of influence!
The Khmer and Siamese, especially the local warlords, got a lot of green papers, and I only hope that these uncles will fight more intensely.

Cochin people are very happy.

For the first time since getting spanked, they had this chance of penetration.

Citigroup is looking forward to the emergence of the 'fairy'.

Various satellite resources began to gather in this area one after another.

Various security consortiums are gearing up, planning to take advantage of this battle to gain fame and style, and then go to win orders and win the market.

It is best to take advantage of this opportunity and step on the corpses of other competitors to rise to the top.

Even several security consortiums in that country felt that they had won.

Because of this battle, the center is also paying attention.

Showing the limelight in front of the center can win preferential treatment from the policy!
In short, there seems to be no losers in this delta conflict.

Everyone seems to get what they want.

Cruy suddenly turned his head, looked at Vincent, and said softly, "Vincent, do you know?"

"Ok?"

"The commander of the little Rakshasa will visit the Senate of our country soon... to seek support!"

Vincent's eyebrows jumped up immediately: "How dare he?"

"Why didn't he dare?" Cruy smiled, showing his neat and sharp teeth.

"Senate, there is always a war!"

"There must be a place to reimburse the hundreds of billions of military expenditures every year!"

"Otherwise how can I explain?"

"So!" Cruy smiled, stimulating Vincent's nerves: "Do you know what to do?"

Vincent's face darkened instantly, he gritted his teeth and said, "I see!"

Citigroup was founded by war, and since its founding, only a few years have not been in a state of war.

Other times, it's either at war or on the way to war.

Citi's hegemony is also built on the bones of people in other countries and regions.

If there is no war, what will Citigroup eat?
Without a war, how can Citigroup maintain its financial and economic hegemony?

Only in turmoil can there be profits.

Only war can harvest!
So, what Cruy means is obvious.

If you can't mess up the East, then the Citi Senate will take action in the direction of Europe.

Little Rakshasa is the key to success!
As long as the little Raksha pushes the big Raksha into a corner, Europe will immediately fall into the dark clouds of war.

Inflation, economic crisis, followed.

After 22 years of being ravaged and attacked by ghosts, the conventional power of the European countries has actually been weakened very severely!
In particular, there is an extreme shortage of excellent healthy soldiers!

So, once the big Rakshasa was cornered and had to go to war, and the torrent of steel rolled in, how could the plain of the little Rakshasa stop it?
In Vincent's mind, he couldn't help but sing the famous game theme song: Rakshasa Bear wants to punish the world!
The Rakshasa steamroller is coming, and the European military police is resurrected!
So, for him and Holy Rome, there is only one way to go - step up!
But what Vincent didn't know was that his expression, in Cruy's eyes, was tantamount to self-declaration.

"Sure enough, it's not Rakshasa!"

"It's Prussia or the country of hair!"

"It's interesting!"

That's right, the martial arts masters in Europe actually want to break free from the shackles?

So funny!

Unfortunately, it is no longer the 18th century, let alone the 19th century.

The fate of Europe is not up to them to decide.

The people of Paris no longer have the courage to fight in the streets.

The people of Berlin have also lost the courage to start another war.

Now, it is Citigroup, Rakshasa, and maybe even the country in the east that dominates the fate of continental Europe!

Only it won't be Ou Lu himself!
Because they have lost their freedom.

Economy, national defense, science and technology, finance, public opinion, and even martial arts can no longer be decided by the Europeans themselves!

It can be said that unless a nuclear war breaks out and the current global hegemon loses both, there is no chance for Continental Europe to rise again!
Vincent was about to contact Holy Rome, but he suddenly stopped, turned around, and asked, "Professor, why did you tell such an important thing?"

Cruy grinned: "Guess!"

Vincent lowered his head, looked at the floor, and replied, "You don't want something to happen to Ou Lu, do you?"

Cruy snapped his fingers: "Smart!"

If something happens in Europe, it means that Citi's center of gravity will move westward.

Press the gourd to float the scoop.

The East is about to lose control!
As a patriot, Cruy never wants such a situation to happen!
