What is it like to be a saint?

Chapter 531
Qiongqi, who flew high into the sky, opened his disgusting and deformed mouth, and spewed clouds of poisonous mist to the mountains, forests, and swamps on the other side of the river.

Bang bang bang!
After the poisonous mist hit the ground, it immediately vaporized.

The rotten stench immediately diffused and spread in all directions through the air.

In an instant, the demon locust swarm on the other side immediately started to move.

These ignorant bugs, with their simple sense of smell, are particularly sensitive to the smell of corpses of the same kind that disperse after a large number of deaths!

It's innate.

Like an instruction engraved in flesh and blood.

Then, one after another, the locusts began to vibrate their wings and slowly flew up.

But, when they start to approach the big river.

But it started to linger again.

It seems to be wondering, there is no smell of karma on the other side of the river.

So, how did those same kind get by?
However, the demon locust swarm does not actually have any ability to think.

Their simple body structure is purely born to devour all plants and objects with aura.

They also don't require overly complex organs.

Eating, chasing the traces of karma and evil, eating everything until death!
That's their only mission!
Therefore, without hesitating for too long, the locust swarms began to fly across the river in twos and threes, heading towards the other side of the river.

The smell of the corpse of the same kind on the opposite side is unmistakable!
"Jie Jie Jie!" Qiong Qi looked at him, filled with joy.

This swarm of monster locusts is only the beginning.

As long as they cross the river, and then start destroying and gnawing, they will inevitably conflict with the human race orthodoxy of that side of the mountain.

When this monster locust swarm died in that mountain and river.

It will attract other swarms of monster locusts, and then loop endlessly, eventually attracting all the monster locusts in the world.

Those are tens of millions of demon locusts!

Even a saint should stay away!
Except for the master Wang in the heyday, there is no power that can destroy and calm down such a terrifying swarm of monster locusts!
Even Master Wang would have to pay an extremely heavy price if he wanted to wipe out such a terrifying swarm of monster locusts.

In Qiongqi's memory, apart from the ancient sage emperors and the sages educated by the sage emperors, only the sages of the Sage King Pangeng could fight stronger and stronger in such a terrible attack!

However, the Holy King Pan Geng was able to fight stronger and stronger, not because of how powerful this Holy King was.

It was purely because the luck of the human race had been tossed to the end at that time!
Even the capital city, which is the center of human civilization, had to move three times to avoid the attacks of evil and evil spirits to survive!
At that time, the order of the human race in the entire Three Realms was already on the verge of collapse.

Therefore, when the Holy King Pan Geng experienced many trials and setbacks, when he tempered the king's teacher, when he ascended the heights, he was the king of all people.

At that time, the master of the Yin and Shang dynasties automatically became a ray of sunshine shining into the dark abyss.

You don't need to be too high-quality, you can automatically win the support of the entire human race!

With the blessing of the power of the Wan surname, of course there will be no disadvantages. The virtue of the Western Baidi is outstanding, and the teacher of Yin and Shang, with the help of Gengjin, is as powerful as a broken bamboo!

Even if you are poor, you can't escape the punishment of being pierced by thousands of arrows and being torn apart!

But what does the human race have now?
Nothing at all!

It is impossible to have Master Wang, and even if there is, it is impossible to be recognized by Wan Xing and entrusted by Wan Min!

They are doomed to be tortured and tortured by karmic obstacles.

Experienced countless sufferings, experienced countless despairs.

Only then can a sage king emerge as the times require, reorganize people's hearts, rebuild morality, restore order, and rebuild orthodoxy.

This is the number of days that even a saint cannot change.

It is the principle of heaven and earth, and it is also the nature of things!

……

However, Qiongqi would not know that when he was smiling, a faint figure that hardly existed was standing beside him.

Riding on the back of a big black buffalo, his hand was already on the hilt of the black Excalibur.

He was about to draw his sword and cut it into ashes!
However, Xu Ji did not draw his sword after all.

He raised his head and looked at the clouds above the sky.

"The world of this mythical world doesn't seem to be happy for me to smash this ugly thing..." Xu Ji thought about it.

Everything he feels around him is stopping and reminding him.

This monster cannot be killed!

At least not yet!

Because He has a mission!

He cannot die before his mission is completed!won't die either!

These are intuitive perceptions.

Xu Ji's expression suddenly turned dark.

"Strange!" He muttered, "This is the first time I have encountered such an unkillable monster..."

He looked at the ugly monster in front of him.

The appearance of this monster is the most intuitive description of the two words deformity and ugliness.

Any normal creature would feel nauseous, retch, and wish to chop it up.

From top to bottom, there is almost no part that is not deformed or ugly.

Especially the countless tiny ugly bugs parasitic on the pair of bony wing membranes, making harsh noises all the time.

The unicorn born from the forehead is twisted and deformed.

In the disgusting eye sockets, there is a pair of dead fish eyes that look like they have been soaked in formalin.

It is clearly a streamlined body, but it is covered with barb-like hair. Every piece of skin, every muscle is put together in an extremely awkward, even distorted way.

It's as if...it's as if...the body of this monster has been torn apart countless times, and then pieced back together bit by bit by himself.

In short, such a monster is by no means normal, nor is it kind.

Xu Ji thought: "Look again!"

So, he quietly watched the monster fly up into the sky, and then spit out clouds of poisonous mist towards the mountains and rivers of Huaguo.

He also watched quietly, the swarm of locusts was flying towards Huaguo.

He never intervened.

Not hard-hearted, but Xu Ji suddenly 'saw' a possibility.

In the collision of countless causes and effects, the opportunity that Xu Ji had been looking for for a long time finally appeared!
Cause and effect are entangled like glue.

Glue Huaguo, students, and willows together!
In other words!
Xu Ji discovered that what the monster did was actually helping Huaguo to add the last medicine to the potion.

It was the opportunity that he had been looking for for a long time, but couldn't get in.

In the words of this mythical world, this is chance!
An opportunity belonging to Huaguo!
Chances belong to Willow!
It also belongs to the opportunity for more than 500 students to gather the golden core!

"It's actually like this!" Xu Ji said with emotion: "Interesting!"

He also understood that he could not interfere in this matter.

Because, this is a test, a trial!
Babies have to learn to walk by themselves after all.

Children, after all, they have to learn how to survive.

And this is the first lesson!
First quiz!
Certainly no cheating, no helping!

This is Xu Ji's feeling and also his decision!

"It's a pity..." Xu Ji thought: "I guess I won't see the ending!"

He will return to Blue Star soon.

Probably only the beginning and the process can be seen, but the ending will be a matter of next year.

……

Xuan Du lay on his back on the cloud, drinking wine slowly, and hurried on the road.

Hurry up and hurry up, and finally arrived at the sky above Xiniu Hezhou.

Only then did this person teach the big disciple lazily shaking the gourd in his hand.

"Huh!" Xuan Du was surprised: "Did you drink it all?"

Then he clapped his hands and praised: "Wonderful! Wonderful! What a number of days!"

"It's a poor way to go to the ancient Buddha of the lamp, and ask for a pot of Buddhist wine brewed by Western Buddhism to taste!"

The Lantern Buddha in the past has disappeared.

The one sitting in the Lingjiu Temple on the Lingjiu Mountain now is naturally the ancient Buddha who burns the lamp.

The so-called ancient Buddha is the Buddha who has passed away after attainment, jumped out of Buddhism, and broke free from the shackles of cause and effect in Buddhism.

However, it still failed to break free from the Western Avenue, could not set up another branch, and was still bound by ambitions.

Xuandu lowered his cloud head and headed towards the entrance of the Pure Land.

Along the way, I saw that Xiniu Hezhou, with beacon smoke everywhere and blood bursting.

Countless Asuras who came out of the sea of ​​blood are constantly attacking and besieging Buddhist temples and cities in the Buddhist kingdom of Hezhou, Xiniu.

Countless Buddha lights shine in all directions, and the sound of the believers chanting scriptures is heard in the world.

However, there are still Buddhist temples and cities, which fell under the madness of Asura.

Seeing this, Xuandu couldn't help but yell at his head: "Mercy! Mercy! What an injustice!"

But there was nothing he could do.

This Buddhist disaster in Xiniu Hezhou will happen in almost every Huiyuan.

The scale may be large or small, and the intensity may be high or low.

This is the law of nature in the West.

He could only ignore the tragedy beneath him, and fly straight to the pure land with his head on the cloud.

Entering the pure land, in the pure land, it is not too peaceful.

It can be seen from a distance that there is a golden body of Bodhisattva, which is disintegrating.

Apparently, the Pure Land was also under attack.

An attack from the Nine Nether Blood Sea.

"Mercy! Mercy!" Xuan Du didn't want to get involved in the cause and effect, and quickly activated the formula, and the black and white Tai Chi light overflowed from his body, shielding the western cause and effect.

Then he ignored it and only went to Lingjiu Mountain.

After a while, a gloomy mountain appeared in front of him.

It was Vulture Mountain!
Xuandu landed on the Vulture Mountain, and saw that the once glorious Buddhist holy place, the Buddha Dojo, has now declined very badly.

The merit pool that once overflowed with Buddha nature has dried up.

All kinds of Buddhist treasures that had been inlaid outside the merit pool were even more broken.

All the Buddhist sacred objects in the pool have died.

The road under his feet has even cracked.

The Buddhist bricks that used to be engraved with countless Sanskrit characters now seem to have been eroded by thousands of years of time. They have lost all their luster and are torn apart.

Stepping forward, the once dense green pines on the mountain are now dead.

The ground is covered with dead pine needles and thick humus.

You can vaguely see countless statues of Arhats and King Kong with severed heads and arms.

Walking up to the top of the mountain, the Lingjiu Temple, which was so glorious and immeasurably sacred in the past, is already full of ruins.

In this holy land of the Buddha, countless Buddha lamps that have been burning for a full 30 years have completely lost their former sanctity and are all in tatters. The lamp oil in them has been burnt, and the remaining wicks are covered with dust.

In the main hall, the golden body of the Burning Buddha, which was decorated with sky gold in the past, has now collapsed to the ground.

The Buddha's head seems to be pierced from the top by a giant palm.

Everything inside the Buddha head is vaporized.

"Mercy! Mercy!" Xuandu saluted.

He knew that all this was an illusion.

It's just an illusion of the ancient Buddha who burned the lamp after his extinction.

It is also a blindfold.

It's just that this is a quasi-sage-level cover-up.

Not only can you deceive the world, but you can also deceive the world and steal your name!

Literally.

Concealing the sky, deceiving the world, and even stealing names.

Let all living beings in this world think that the extinction of the Burning Lamp Buddha is a fall.

Following Xuandu's Jishou, this decayed, old, and broken Vulture Mountain gradually rippled in front of him like water patterns.

Also like a wall of air, gradually shattered.

The real Vulture Mountain appeared in front of him.

The ancient aura of Hongmeng rushed over.

On the lush ancient trees, ancient creatures from the prehistoric are watching this unexpected visitor curiously.

Moss underfoot, damp and fluffy.

Looking up, in front of you is a quaint and simple Buddhist temple located among countless towering old trees.

In the Buddhist temple, there is the sound of wooden fish.

Xuan Du knew that this was the Vulture Mountain.

When Hongmeng was first divided, the Vulture God Mountain had already stood between the heavens and the earth!
According to legend, the ancient sacred mountain where people who follow the footsteps of the Taoist ancestors are buried.

Xuandu inspected the head again: "According to the decree of the teacher in charge, Xuandu, a poor Taoist, is here to congratulate Brother Randeng, who has proved the fruit of extinction and became the respect of the ancient Buddha!"

The door of the temple opened slowly.

A novice boy came out of it, came to Xuandu and bowed his head: "Master Xuandu, my master ordered me to welcome you!"

Xuandu nodded: "Thank you!"

Then he followed the pace of the novice monk and headed towards the temple.

Inside the temple gate, all the furnishings are extremely simple.

There are neither reliefs of Arhats or King Kong, nor shadows of Buddhas or Bodhisattvas.

Only the wooden fence and bamboo house stands quietly, and the white lotus and red flowers are in full bloom.

The fault is that the sound of wooden fishes can be heard all the time in the depths of the temple, and Xuandu would think that this place is a Taoist temple rather than a temple.

Xuandu knew that this was the ashram of the ancient Buddha of Diengdeng.

The so-called ancient Buddha, everything is empty, all actions are impermanent.

Therefore, simplicity is empty, flowers are empty, and extravagance is empty.

Therefore, good is empty, evil is empty, neither good nor evil is still empty.

Therefore, this place is actually the reflection of Xuandu's own Dao heart.

Everyone who comes to this ancient Buddhist temple sees and hears a reflection of his own Taoism and state of mind.

Xuan neither hurried nor slow, walked slowly.

Just three steps, it seems to have crossed thousands of mountains and rivers.

In front of him, there was a statue sitting cross-legged on a stone bed, with countless meritorious golden lights shining on the back of his head, but there was no Buddha light around him, let alone any Buddha jewels. He looked like an ordinary old monk.

The old monk closed his eyes, pinched the seal with his left hand, and tapped the wooden fish with his right hand, muttering in his mouth: "All things are impermanent, it is the law of birth and death, birth and death destroy oneself, and peace and death are joy!"

To Xuandu's ears, it seemed that tens of thousands of monks, men, women and children were all chanting.

Xuandu's heart trembled, knowing that the realm of burning lamps was far beyond him.

This ancient figure who was born in the first division of Hongmeng, the Zixiao guest in the Zixiao Palace, the quasi-sage who once discussed the Tao with the saints and the emperor, has indeed stepped on the threshold of proving the Tao, perhaps already A glimpse of the mystery of the preaching.

Just wait for the right time, the right time.

Maybe you can take the step that all cultivators dream of.

Establish a religion, prove the Tao, open up a heaven, and entrust your own Tao fruit in it.

From then on, practice Hunyuan and prove Tao to get 'one'.

Ten thousand kalpas will not grind, ten thousand kalpas will not be destroyed.

It's called: the sage of Hunyuan Promise!

After the catastrophe of the Lich, Ran Deng was the first person to set foot in this field.

He is also the most likely person to prove the Tao after Taiyi, Dijun and the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

Out of respect for this forerunner, and also out of reverence for the Taoist heart that has gone through countless calamities, but has not changed its original heart.

Xuandu bowed solemnly, and said: "Xuandu pays homage to Nanwu Randeng Ancient Buddha, and congratulates Randeng Daoist Brother on his death, and wishes that Randeng Ancient Buddha Nirvana as soon as possible!"

Nirvana, in the Dao system of Western religion, is rebirth and new life.

From the empty and silent ancient Buddha to the new life of Nirvana.

This means opening up one's own avenue, which can educate billions of mortals.

The ancient Buddha who burned the lamp made a seal and smiled: "Good! Good!"

"The poor monk is ashamed!"

So, he brought a futon and dropped it in front of Xuandu: "Please sit down, benefactor!"

In exchange for a novice, he brought all kinds of vegetables and fruits to Xuandu: "Some simple tea and light food, please don't be disgusted by the benefactor!"

"Don't dare!" Xuan sat down unceremoniously, picked up those seemingly simple fruits and vegetables, and stuffed them into his mouth.

He knows that these things are beneficial to him.

This is also the intention of his teacher, Laojun Shengren, to order him to go through this life.

See you, see you, see you, the first quasi-sage who embarked on a journey of enlightenment after the catastrophe of the Lich.

For Xuandu, the benefits are immeasurable.

Taking people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses.

……

Liucheng, in the venue.

Numerous committee members were whispering to each other. Just now, Meng Bai had already told the committee members the whole matter.

Now, it's decision time!

Because, the demon locust swarm did not invade Huaguo.

So, is it defensive, vigilant, alert, or proactive?

The members were having a hard time deciding.

Especially the human race committee members, it is difficult to make up their minds for a while!

Because Huaguo has experienced a painful lesson!

At that time, Qi State united with other countries to blockade Liujun, and brutally suppressed merchants, monks, and mortals related to Liujun.

In the upper reaches of the sandy water, corpses were strewn across the field, and blood flowed into rivers.

In more than ten countries including Ju, Qi, Cao, and Ji, all people related to Liujun were killed!
Even some people were killed just because they had goods and commodities from Liujun at home.

What Duke Qi said back then is still ringing in my ears: the knife must go too far, and the person must be changed!

The fault is not that the holy tree shows its prestige, but the heavenly deity shelters it.

All living beings in China today have been beheaded to death!
Before the demise of Qi State, all beings in Hua State (Liu County) have been living in the "fear of insufficient cultivation" and "fear of insufficient magic weapon".

Therefore, over the years, especially since the founding of Huaguo, Huaguo has established and improved the grassroots system and education system.

The biggest change is the establishment of a bottom-up militia system.

There are militias in every village, and training in townships and counties.

Ordinary people practice martial arts, while monks practice magic weapons.

The Sanxiu, Yaozu, and Shuizu who migrated to Huaguo also selected many elites from among them and incorporated them into the militia system at all levels.

Over the years, the country of Hua has quietly grown hundreds of thousands of militiamen.

Today, among the Chinese militiamen, there are as many as tens of thousands of Jindan loose cultivators and Jindan cultivators of the Yaozu and Shuizu!
There are hundreds of Nascent Souls and Earth Immortals.

Even if the Qi Kingdom is revived and invades again, it can be beaten back without the help of the holy tree!

Even counterattack Linzi!

The problem, however, is that the harvest is now around the corner.

If it is mobilized rashly, the autumn harvest will be delayed, and the impact will be too great!

But if you don't mobilize and only use defense, it's not appropriate.

Once the monster locust swarms enter Huaguo, it is very likely to cause heavy losses.

The autumn harvest is not guaranteed!
For a while, the committee members talked a lot.

"The swarms of demon locusts can easily number in the millions...and they all have foundation building skills, with rough skin and thick flesh. Just one locust is hard to do for an idle Golden Core cultivator, let alone a million?"

"It's better to defend, as long as they don't enter China, we will have nothing to worry about!" Many committee members persuaded them earnestly.

A swarm of monster locusts in the millions, taking the initiative to attack?
What if you lose?
What if nothing happened, but it caused trouble?
"fart!"

"There is only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to guard against a thief?"

"Besides, didn't the refugees say that?"

"Last year there was a plague of locusts in the Central Plains, but at that time the swarms were just ordinary bugs..."

"This year, it became a Foundation Establishment Monster Locust!"

"Even if you get away with it this year..."

"Next year, if there are Golden Core Demonic Locusts and Nascent Soul Demonic Locusts...they come to invade our territory, what should we do?"

"Besides, we are people who have been educated by Tianzun!"

"Tianzun taught us to love the world and all beings are equal..."

"Nowadays, the plague of locusts is wreaking havoc on the Central Plains, but we are sitting in a corner, not thinking about making progress, and helping the people..."

"What kind of talk is that?"

The entire venue was full of discussions and debates like this.

Those who advocate defense and wait and see are mostly old people, merchants, or nobles who immigrated from Chu and other places.

Those who advocate the initiative are mostly student committee members, Yaozu and Shuizu committee members.

According to them, now is the time for the Hua Kingdom to raise the banner to attack the Central Plains in the north, to save the people, and to spread the enlightenment of Tianzun and the virtue of Hua Kingdom in all directions!
It should be at any cost!

Naturally, there was a heated debate between them.

Listening to this, Meng Bai felt dizzy.

He had to keep order again and again.

Fortunately, soon, he won't need to worry about it.

Because the Consonance boy is here.

This boy came riding on the leaves of the sacred tree.

But in Huaguo, there is one and only one person who can mobilize the power of the sacred tree——Tianzun!
Sitting on the resplendent leaves of the sacred tree, Lingxi boy looked down at the venue.

Everyone raised their heads and looked at Lingxi boy.

Lingxi boy reached out and picked off the leaves under himself, and then threw them towards the venue.

The leaves manifested, reflecting multiple halos.

In the halo, the border of China, thousands of miles away, manifested.

The dense swarm of demon locusts leaped over the sand and water and entered the territory of China.

Along the way, all the crops, all the grass and shrubs were eaten away.

Then, everyone knew that there was no need to argue anymore.

The monster locusts have already hit the door.

They must be completely wiped out!

You must defend your hometown and your elders!
China must be defended!

This is pretty self-explanatory!
Everyone looked at Meng Bai, and said almost in unison: "Director, please give the order!"

"Mobilize the whole country and destroy all the invading locusts!"

　Last night, the author almost had a GG~
　　Because of insomnia, I drank a lot of alcohol, and then my heart beat faster, spinning around~ It took a long time to slow down, it was miserable!
