Thinking of this point, Chu Huan's mind suddenly cleared up, knowing that he had fallen into the illusion created by Liuli.

In a trance, the strange screams and ghost howls around him seemed to be much quieter. Only then did he open his eyes, only to find that he was still staying in the room full of murals. Has disappeared, glanced around, and found that the murals were still there, but the ghost Shura seemed to have returned to the murals.

He breathed a sigh of relief and stood up, but suddenly realized that although he had already realized that he had entered the illusion in his mind, it was not so easy to break through the illusion and return to reality.

In his mind, he naturally thought that the confrontation with King Jialouluo at the beginning was the use of the [Mantra of Suppressing Demons] to break the heart of King Jialouluo. The treasure of his heart.

At this moment, his heart was filled with joy, and for a moment he clearly felt that he possessed the method to break through his mind, and was about to recite the [Mantra of Suppressing Demons], but at this very moment, he suddenly discovered that although he knew in his mind [Mantra of Suppressing Demons] can break his mind, but I don't even remember a single word of the formula of [Mantra of Suppressing Demons].

Chu Huan was horrified. His memory was astonishing, and he had already memorized the mantra of "Suppressing Demon Mantra" in his heart. It can be said to be unforgettable, and he could recite it with his mouth. [Suppressing Devil Mantra], those formulas are like chaos, and I can't even remember a single word.

It's like having just finished a meal. During the meal, I was full of praise for those dishes, and even knew how to make them clearly at that time, but when I left the table, I forgot what I ate in an instant.

This is extremely unbelievable.

It's as if I subconsciously erased the formula of "Suppressing Demons Mantra" intentionally. I knew that there was such a thing, but I didn't even think of a word.

Chu Huan was stunned for a moment.

The surroundings were deserted, and the ghost Shura on the murals was all looking at him with wide eyes, those weird smiles seemed to be mocking Chu Huan's insignificance.

Chu Huan took a deep breath, and recited the [Pure Heart Mantra] lightly again, trying to calm himself down, and thus recalled the mantra of the [Suppressing Demon Mantra], but after repeated [Pure Heart Mantra] was recited more than ten times, Chu Huan Not only was his state of mind not at peace, but he became more and more anxious. Soon, he heard strange screams and ghost howls from around him. Looking around, those giant ax Shura and fang-toothed ghosts rushed out of the mural again. , Surround yourself around.

This time, the appearance of the ghost was even more hideous and terrifying. Chu Huan panicked, saw a ghost with fangs looking at him, and rushed towards him aggressively. , With a sharp roar, a Shura had already raised his battle ax with both hands, and he chopped down from the sky.

Chu Huan moved quickly and rolled past Shura's feet. There were more and more ghosts in the room, and the howling sound became more and more terrifying, making people feel creepy. Chu Huan dodged left and right. Although there were many ghosts, their The action was really not fast, and even accidentally hurt his companions. Although Chu Huan dodged continuously, he also knew that he used defense as offense, and sooner or later he would be injured by these ghosts.

In his confusion, he seemed to have forgotten that these ghosts were illusions.

Seeing another giant ax Shura rushing towards him, Chu Huan was about to dodge, but his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of the mural behind the giant ax Shura.

It was a mural of the Golden God of War, majestic, entwined with giant dragons, and colorful. The golden God of War radiated Buddha light from behind his head. Although he was covered in golden armor, the appearance of the God of War was very soft and full of vitality. With a compassionate and benevolent breath, the six giant dragons surrounding the Golden God of War each have their own color. The six-colored dragons are lifelike and have an astonishing momentum, as if they are about to break through the wall from the mural.

When Chu Huan saw the six-colored dragon, his mind suddenly flashed, and he seemed to think of something. He blurted out two scriptures, and almost when the scriptures were blurted out, the dragon roared, and the six-colored dragon was actually Flying out of the mural in an instant, the whole room was filled with radiance, the six-colored dragons hummed in unison, and the sky and the earth shook. Their long dragon bodies could not be unfolded in this small room, and the whole room was soon filled with six giant dragons. , the giant ax Shura and the fangs and ghosts were instantly wiped out in the sunlight.

"Boom!"

There was a sound of collapse, and the six dragons had already broken through the roof and went straight into the sky, while the rubble flew and fell one after another. A huge horizontal log fell from midair. Chu Huan couldn't dodge it in time, and the horizontal log hit Chu Huan heavily. Above Chu Huan's head, Chu Huan yelled loudly, and his whole body burst into cold sweat. At this moment, a light flashed in front of him, all voices fell silent, and there was a dead silence around him.

Chu Huan felt as if his body had been soaked in water, dripping with sweat. He regained his composure and opened his eyes, only to find that he was still in a hall. Looking left and right, the murals had long since disappeared. He had already broken out from inside, looked up, but saw a beautiful figure in front of him, like a lotus, graceful and graceful.

"Brother Chu, how are you?" A voice came from his ear, and Chu Huan turned his head to look slightly, but saw Luo Duo was looking at him with concern, but his eyes were obviously full of joy.

"Brother, I... I had a nightmare." Chu Huan suddenly felt chills all over his body, and his forehead and face seemed to be covered with water droplets. He raised his hand to wipe it, only to find that his face was covered with sweat. And the whole body was wet, obviously soaked in cold sweat.

Luo Duo suddenly burst into laughter, turned to look at Liuli, and asked, "Pi Liuli, how are you doing now, can you believe it?"

But I saw Liuli's figure swaying slightly, her beautiful face became paler, and she looked extremely tired, but there was a slight smile on the corners of her red lips, and she said: "You have indeed inherited the name of Naga, I am finally at ease now It's gone." Speaking of this, Liu Mei frowned slightly, moved lightly with lotus steps, reached the chair beside her, and sat down lightly. Although she looked exhausted, her sitting posture was still elegant and graceful.

Chu Huan looked at Liuli, then at Luo Duo, and said, "I...I had a dream just now, it seemed...as if I returned to Master Ghost..., then A temple...!"

"He who is close to Liuli has a clear heart, so it is easy to let you fall into the illusion." Luo Duo said with a smile: "Brother Chu, you are extremely talented, although I don't know what you saw in the illusion, but you recited [Pure Heart Mantra], in the illusion, it is really not easy to think of using the [Pure Heart Mantra] to calm oneself down."

"It turns out...it turns out that elder brother heard me recite the [Pure Heart Mantra]!" Chu Huan smiled wryly, "Then...then those dragons saved me...!"

"It's not a dragon!" Luo Duo shook his head and said, "That's the [Mantra of Suppressing Demons]. The mantra comes from the heart, and it needs to be integrated with the heart to be effective...!"

Although Chu Huan felt that his body was sticky and uncomfortable, and really wanted to take a hot bath, he naturally couldn't leave at this time.

Then Luo Duo turned to look at Liuli, and said: "Pi Liuli, you have confirmed the identity of the Dragon King now, does he have the right to sanction you?"

"Since it is the Dragon King, Liuli naturally has nothing to say." Liuli sighed quietly: "It's just that you two should know that the most important thing right now is not how to deal with me, but how to deal with the biggest threat to my Xinzong."

"What do you mean?" Chu Huan frowned.

Liuli looked at Chu Huan with a gentle expression, and said, "Chu... Naga, I am very happy that you have inherited the inheritance of the previous Dragon King. It's hopeless...!"

"What do you mean?" Chu Huan frowned and said, "What do you mean when you say there is no way to return to heaven?"

Liuli looked at Luo Duo, her red lips parted slightly: "The net of heaven and earth!"

Chu Huan was a little puzzled, and asked, "Sky Net? What does this mean?" He wondered if it had any connection with the so-called "Sky Net" in Xichang Kingdom?

Luo Duo's expression also turned serious, and finally said: "Brother Chu, you must be very clear now why we came to the Central Plains."

Chu Huan thought for a while, and finally asked: "Brother, I heard a rumor, I don't know if it's true or not, and I want to ask you for advice."

"You said."

"As far as I know, when the feudal lords of the Central Plains fought for hegemony, the Qin State swept away everything, the wind...!" At this point, Chu Huan frowned slightly, paused, but still said: "Feng Han smiled back then Conquering the countries in the northwest can be regarded as invincible. The vassal states in the northwest were also conquered by the iron hooves of Qin. Brother should still remember that when I was in Jinling, the Guangmu Heavenly King once told me that the day of Tianmen Dao The general is the Crown Prince of the State of Lu."

Having said that, Chu Huan couldn't help looking at Liuli.

He now knows that Tianmen Dao was created by the disciples of Xinzong headed by Liuli. Buddha.

The disciples of Xinzong wanted to stretch their hands and feet in Qin and expand their power. If they continued to use the banner of Buddhist disciples, they would not only be squeezed out and suppressed by the Taoist sect that had risen at that time, but would also easily attract the attention of Shenyiwei.

Because of this, from the very beginning, disciples of Xinzong concealed their true identities as disciples of Buddhist sect, playing the banner of Taoism.

The rise of Daozong, although the Taoism of Longevity was later adopted as the orthodox religion of Daozong, but at the beginning of the founding of the country, there were many schools of Daozong, and there were no fewer than a hundred Daoist sects. Naturally, it is impossible for Yiwei to strictly monitor every Taoist sect, so the disciples of Xinzong under the banner of Tianmen Taoism can realize the expansion of disciples without any suppression.

Liuli is obviously a person who is extremely good at managing power. Although Tianmen Dao is called Tianmen, it reveals the shadow of Taiping Dao in the past, which also shows that Liuli had a great influence on the history of the Central Plains before Tianmen Dao Dabbled, and had a lot of research on Taiping Dao, and because of this, Tianmen Dao began to contact the Taiping Dao disciples who were hiding in the dark.

The Taiping Daoists are naturally the 36-fang family based on Taiping Zhengyuan, the descendant of the Taiping Five-element Banner. , united with the disciples of Xinzong, but Chu Huan didn't know exactly how the two sides came into contact.

But Chu Huan can also imagine that the 36 Fang family has been hiding for a long time, but the ancestral training they have received is to revive the Taiping Road one day and establish a peaceful world. However, the remnants of Taiping have been suppressed in the past dynasties all the time. So they can only sit and wait for the opportunity, and never dare to make a move easily.

The sudden appearance of Tianmen Dao and its rapid expansion of power will naturally attract the attention of the Taiping 36 Fang family. Liuli, under the banner of Tianmen Dao, was created and expanded based on the Taiping Dao back then. The real Taiping Daoists can appear, and the two forces merge into one.

Both parties have their own needs, and it is only natural that they will come together in the end.

It's just that Chu Huan is also very clear from Pei Ji's mouth that although the 36 Fang family belongs to the descendants of Taiping, they are not monolithic internally.

Pei Ji was born in the descendants of the Taiping Five Elements Banner, which was the personal soldier of Taiping Tiangong General Zhang Jiao. Back then, the five of them received the Five Elements Taoism taught by Zhang Jiao. The people hide, this is the 36th family of the Taiping Dao's largest remaining party, and the descendants of the Five Elements Banner regard themselves as the true source of Taiping and the true continuation of the Taiping Dao.

In comparison, the 36 Fang family naturally centered on the Five Elements family. To gain the support of Taiping Dao, there is no doubt that Tianmen Dao must win over the Five Elements family.

Pei Ji is the descendant of the Tuxing family in Taiping Zhengyuan. In Pei Ji's heart, if Taipingdao wants to realize the long-cherished wish of General Tiangong and establish a peaceful and prosperous world, it must wait for the opportunity and rely on Taipingdao's own ideas and strength to achieve it. You cannot rely on other forces, otherwise you will betray the foundation of the Way of Peace.

Of course, this is the concept that some of the 36 Fang families adhere to.

However, there are still some families among them, which are quite different from Pei Ji's philosophy. If Pei Ji pays more attention to the process of Taiping Dao, then some families pay more attention to the results. The requirements are not so strict, among which is represented by Li Wangsun of the Muxing family.

Li Wang Sunming's superficial identity is the commander of the imperial guards of Anyi Road, but his real identity is one of the 36 Fang families that have been passed down, and even a member of the Taiping Zhengyuan family.

Li Wangsun obviously didn't care about the process of achieving his goal, he didn't maintain the independence of Taiping Dao like Pei Ji, but walked with Tianmen Dao, and because of this, he became one of the seven generals of Taiping Dao, General Mu, and The Lu family in Taiyuan is also one of the 36 Fang families, and naturally followed Li Wangsun into the Tianmen Road.

Although the alliance between Tianmen Dao and the 36 Fang family has its own purpose, it also caused the power of Tianmen Dao to expand rapidly, which led to the confrontation within the 36 Fang family.

Apart from some families of the 36fang family, Liuli also recruited the remnants of the subjugated party after failing to contend with Qin for hegemony, including the prince of Lu who was known to be dead by the world.

This huge force can be said to be built by Liuli, forming a huge group of different forces gathered together to achieve their own goals.

Luo Duo didn't speak, but Liuli nodded slightly and said, "That's right, the Japanese general is the Crown Prince of Lu, of course Feng Hanxiao didn't kill the Crown Prince of Lu."

Chu Huan said: "As far as I know, in order to pursue Prince Nalu, Feng...Feng Hanxiao once crossed the Tianshan Mountains, crossed the desert, and arrived at your Futu Kingdom!"

Luo Duo said: "Brother has already investigated clearly. You are right. Now that you know about it, you are also very clear about what they did there."

Chu Huan looked dignified, and nodded slightly, "So, the wolf soldiers slaughtered the city, so... is that true?"

Luo Duo clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, sang the Buddha's name, and then chanted sutras in a low voice, as if he was saving the souls of the dead. Liu Lixiu frowned, and there was a cold and stern look in her beautiful eyes.

"In this way, I also understand why you guys made such a big move." Chu Huan sighed and stared at Liuli, "I can understand that you seek revenge from Feng Hanxiao and Xuanyuan Pingzhang, but... Why have so many innocent people been implicated because of this? Since the rise of Tianmen Dao, the disaster has been endless. How many innocent lives have been ruined in the hands of Tianmen robbers. Futu, killing one person destroys ten thousand Buddhas, and your Dharma is much higher than mine, yet why do you commit such a crime?"

Liuli didn't dodge her eyes, looked at Chu Huan, and asked slowly: "Do you know what the duty of the Heavenly King Xinzong is? To protect the Dharma, eliminate demons and defend the Tao." The beautiful face was calm, "The Lotus City was slaughtered and burned. , Dharma Holy Land, a piece of wreckage, if it wasn’t for the invasion of external demons, how could there be such a result? Since there are external demons in the world, as the king of heaven, why not take action to eliminate demons?”

"But you are harming innocent people." Chu Huan said in a deep voice.

Liuli immediately let out a soft laugh like a silver bell: "Dragon King, innocent people? In this world, there is nothing but good and evil. There is no blood in the hands of this king. Everything is just them killing each other. If you have a calm sea in your heart, Color has no form, the eight winds do not move, and the demons in the heart are difficult to produce, so they will not fall into the Asura hell. But there are demons in the heart, greedy for profit, and murderous intentions everywhere. This is a demon born from the heart. The Heavenly Gate Tao created by this king is just a test Do those innocent people you mentioned have good intentions or evil spirits in their hearts." There was a hint of disdain in their eyes: "They all violated the eight precepts of the Xinzong, could it be that this king asked them to Offend yourself and fall into the sea of ​​suffering?"

Chu Huan was stunned for a moment, silent for a long time, and finally said: "When you are born in the world, if you want to have no distractions and be kind, you will have become a living Bodhisattva long ago. There are countless Bodhisattvas in this world. If everyone You are born a Bodhisattva, and you still need to practice and recite the Dharma?" Leaning forward, staring at Liuli, "You don't know your faults until now, I... well, this king doubts how many scriptures you read back then? Everyone has evil thoughts in their hearts, and evil thoughts cause suffering. It is precisely because of the suffering of the world's people that those supreme bodhisattvas will try their best to save the world's people and guide them from good to evil. Whether it is Zen or the mind, those who save suffering Bodhisattvas who help the world, don’t they know that there are evil thoughts in the hearts of the world? If it is not because they know that people have evil thoughts, why should they spread the Dharma and let people be influenced by the Dharma? Educate the world and lead people to the good way. But the heavenly way you created runs counter to the Dharma. The Dharma makes people follow the good, eliminates evil thoughts and keeps good thoughts, but you lure people out to maximize the evil thoughts. , lead them to the evil way, and abandon the good thoughts in their hearts. You say that you have never killed a single person, but persuading others to do evil is more abhorrent than killing tens of thousands of people!"

Liuli stared at Chu Huan, obviously a little surprised, but she didn't expect Chu Huan to say such a big reason, and then she frowned.

Luo Duo nodded slightly, and said: "Dragon King has really understood the Buddhadharma. In the final analysis, the true meaning of the Buddhadharma is to guide the world to do good and abandon evil!" Glancing at Liuli, he said: "Pi Liuli, You have practiced Buddhism since childhood, this simple truth should be very clear."

Liuli's red lips moved slightly, but she didn't speak.

"This king knows your thoughts." Chu Huan sighed softly: "The destruction of the Lotus City must have caused you a great blow. You came to the Central Plains from the east with a heart of hatred. Although I don't I understand the Dharma and the Buddha, but I also understand that the Dharma is to persuade people to abandon hatred, but... hey, although you are the king of the mind, your mind is completely different from the Dharma, and you are going further and further away."

"Resentment?" Liuli sighed faintly, and said, "Maybe...!" Her expression was still as calm as water, but Chu Huan's words seemed to cause a ripple in her heart.

Chu Huan looked at Luo Duo and said, "Brother, there is something I want to ask you for!"

"you say!"

"I already know what happened in the Lotus City back then." Chu Huan said: "Three thousand wolf soldiers chased the prince of Nalu Kingdom back then, and after they got to the Lotus City, they slaughtered and burned the Lotus City, but they only returned to the Central Plains. Twelve out of ten, I met a wolf soldier who went to Lotus City by chance not long ago, and I know what happened...!"

Luo Duo looked dignified and said, "It turns out that there are still people who survived."

"Yes!" Chu Huan nodded and said, "I know from him that three thousand wolf soldiers attacked Lianhua City back then and caused a catastrophe... But I still don't understand one thing."

"what?"

"Brother, Lotus City is the holy land of Xinzong. It is said that there were hundreds of thousands of people in the city at that time...!" Chu Huan stared at Luo Duo, "When I heard his description, it seemed that the Buddha of Xinzong The hall is in the Lotus City."

Luo Duo nodded and said: "That's right. In fact, the project of the Buddhist temple is huge. When the Buddhist temple was built, a lot of manpower and material resources were used, and the cost was huge. There are few palaces in the Western Regions that can compare with it. The materials used to build the Buddhist temple are All the countries in the Western Regions who believe in the Heart Sect offered it up, and in order to build the Buddhist temple, all the countries contributed manpower and material resources...!"

"That is to say, the Holy King and the eight tribes of the Xinzong also live in the Lotus City?" Chu Huan asked.

Luo Duo nodded and said, "That's right." He was extremely smart, and when Chu Huan asked this, he already understood: "The Dragon King wanted to ask, the Xinzong masters are like a cloud, not only has eight tribes, but also has sixteen arhats, 36 King Kong, why didn't the eight members of the Heart Sect disappear when the wolf soldiers massacred the city, not only that, but even the Holy King didn't show up?"
