Buddhist Cultivation: Starting from Divination

Chapter 157 Immortal world, the truth 800 years ago
On the ten-thousand-foot stone ladder, the square and square courtyard is extremely clean, and birdsong can be heard from time to time.

The ten words "Incense and sandalwood are prosperous, Taoism is prosperous forever" are written on both sides of the gate of the Taoist temple, which is very conspicuous.

There are three tall statues of gods standing in the room, lifelike and sacred.

After watching, there is a huge ginseng tree, which is hundreds of feet high. The ginseng fruits on the branches look like children, crystal clear and full of spiritual power.

Zhao Huai walked into the Taoist temple alone, accompanied by Gu Tianji who helped him prepare for the teleportation array.

When he stepped into the door and saw the towering Taoist statue, he couldn't help but feel solemn, his face was full of respect, he clasped his hands together, and bowed slightly.

"coming."

Suddenly, a voice came from behind, with a smile and admiration.

Zhao Huai turned around quickly and saw a middle-aged man with an ordinary face.

Wearing a brown Taoist robe, holding a white dust whisk, and having two black beards on his lips.

Zhao Huai was stunned, as if thinking of something, he bowed and bowed: "The junior Yanzu descendant, Zhao Huai, has met Senior Guanzhu."

This person's temperament must be the master of the Taoist Temple of Longevity.

The Lord of Longevity is one of the ancestors of the five great immortal sects. He sits in the entire Changsheng Cave in the blessed land of Lingshan. secret.

Among monks, seniority is judged by Taoism, and he is not wrong to call him senior.

The eyes of the Lord of Longevity seem to carry thousands of years, long and deep, and contain the vicissitudes of life. He looked at Zhao Huai for a long time, and said with emotion:
"It's so similar. If the ancestor of Yan was still there, the world of cultivating immortals would definitely not be as chaotic as it is today. It would not tolerate the existence of such a world-destroying demon source as Beizhou Huangquan, and it would not allow the Xizhou demon sect to exist in the middle of the earth." Such ravages. It is a pity that they are all gone, the glorious era has passed, if you focus on the predecessors, the years will never move forward."

When Zhao Huai was stared at like this, he felt as if his whole body would be pierced, but he was not afraid, but had clear eyes, and asked generously:

"Senior Guanzhu's words contain a lot of information. This junior has a lot of questions in his mind. Can I ask senior to answer?"

The Master of Longevity smiled slightly, and said: "There are some things you must know, even if you don't ask, I will tell you."

"Appreciate further details."

Zhao Huai said calmly.

"Sit first."

The Lord of Longevity brought Zhao Huai to a quiet room with antique furnishings and a chessboard in the middle, with black and white pieces showing the end game.

After sitting down, the temple master turned his head, looked at Zhao Huai, his expression gradually became solemn, and said: "Yan Zu is the great existence in the entire world of cultivating immortals for the past 800 years, and as his descendant, you already have a burden on your body." Some kind of destiny, do you understand?"

To this, Zhao Huai disagreed, and retorted: "Although the junior is a descendant of Yanzu, he is also a living person. I have my own way of living, and I can do whatever I want. Why believe in fate."

The Master of Longevity was not angry when he heard the stubborn words, but showed a gratified smile and nodded secretly.

This son is determined and determined, no wonder he has made it to where he is today.

Zhao Huai took the initiative to ask: "Senior asked me to come because he wanted me to know some truths, such as Yan Zu. Could it be that senior has seen Yan Zu with his own eyes?"

The Master of Longevity Temple said with a playful smile: "Not only have we met, we are also close friends. Back then, I was just an outer disciple of the Taoist Temple, and he helped me a lot."

Then he took a deep look at Zhao Huai, and said:
"However, Yan Zu disappeared after his ascension. In addition, the road to immortality was cut off, and the world of cultivating immortals was peaceful on the surface. In fact, it has been in a delicate balance for the past 500 years. Disasters may break out at any time."

Zhao Huai nodded and asked, "May I ask senior, what is the source of the world-destroying demon in Huangquan of Beizhou just mentioned?"

"This Yellow Spring is a demonic creature that was born during the great turmoil in the Middle Ages before the immortal road was cut off. The energy source continuously produced monsters, but it was suppressed by Yanzu 500 years ago. Recently, disciples of the immortal sect have explored It is found that more and more monsters are born, and sooner or later, monsters will become a serious problem for the human race." The Master of Longevity explained.

"Great turmoil in the Middle Ages? Where do you start?"

This is not the first time Zhao Huai heard this term, the last time he heard it was in the description of the sword-wielder.

The Lord of Longevity looked deeply and said, "Do you know the sayings about Baofeng, Dongtian, and Fudi?"

"I know, Gu Tianji has already introduced that the fairy gate occupies the cave, and Lingshan is a blessed place." Zhao Huai nodded quietly.

"Actually, above the blessed land, there is another chance division of the immortal family."

The Lord of Longevity said lightly.

"There is one more."

When Zhao Huai heard this explanation, something seemed to come to his mind.

His pupils shrank slightly, and he said in surprise, "Could it be that they are all in Zhongzhou, Beizhou, and Xizhou."

The Master of Longevity said leisurely: "You guessed right, Zhongzhou, Beizhou, and Xizhou are all in the same land of immortals. This last division is called heaven and earth."

"The world here is called the Immortal Dao World."

The words of the Lord of Longevity echoed in Zhao Huai's mind.

He couldn't help being stunned.

"Immortal world."

Baofeng, Dongtian, Fudi, Tiandi.

Are there other worlds?

"Senior means that besides the Immortal World, there are other unknown places under the whole world."

Zhao Huai frowned.

The Master of Longevity nodded and continued to explain: "That's right, the Yellow Springs in Beizhou, the Demon Sect in Xizhou, and even the Demon Sect all invaded from other worlds."

"Thousands of years ago, a fierce battle broke out between the immortal world and many other worlds, and countless immortals fell. This is the great turmoil in the Middle Ages."

"The end of Huangquan is the hell world, and the master of the ten demonic sects ascended from the heavenly demon world. He was severely injured by Yan Zu 500 years ago and sealed in the cold place in the extreme north."

"This is why the Demon Gate has been looking for trouble for you. You bear the blood of Yan Zu and can break the seal. Therefore, as soon as Master Wuji died, the Demon Gate came to the door impatiently. It is also the main reason why I called you to go up the mountain." reason."

Zhao Huai finally understood after hearing this.

No wonder the Demon Sect has been lurking around him all the time. As he expected, it didn't come for the secret of the ancestor artifact. It turned out that the Demon Lord was behind all this.

At the same time he couldn't help thinking.

There are many heavens and earths in this world, so what is it to ascend to the Tao?
Zhao Huai asked again:

"Senior, is there a relationship between this world and the road to ascension? If so, why did the immortal road cut off 800 years ago? Senior, do you know? I looked through the classics and found that this period of history was avoided."

He has been curious about this question for a long time.

There is no way to get the answer in the ancient books, and the history before and after the severance of the fairy road is completely blank.

In this regard, the Master of Longevity quickly gave an answer.

"This is a taboo. Of course it can't be found in the history books. The severance of the immortal road originated from an ascension."

"Before the Immortal Calendar, we called it the Middle Ages. At that time, the world of cultivating immortals was far more prosperous than it is now, and there were many monks in the human race. Cultivators could become immortals through the road of ascension, but there was a peerless immortal. At the same time, the fairy road was destroyed."

"Only after ascension can you travel across the heavens and the earth. The destruction of the fairy road will undoubtedly cut off the way to the heavens and the earth."

After finishing speaking, the Master of Longevity stood up, picked up a sunspot, and his aura continued to rise, hanging in the air on the chessboard.

"Today's Immortal World is like a prison. People outside cannot get in, and people inside cannot get out. This is a dead end."

Zhao Huai looked at the chessboard with a surprised expression. He found that the chessboard in his eyes had changed suddenly.

In his eyes, the chess table has evolved into a world, very large and extremely detailed, every mountain, every river, every city, every person, all presented.

This is the supernatural power of a fairy!
In other words, the higher the cultivation level of a monk, the different world he sees.

The world seen by the immortal is the world in the palm of one hand, every detail is clear.

It can even use the power of heaven and earth to change the direction of the chess pieces.

This is the legendary Chess Game of Heaven and Earth!

The northern part of the chess game is represented by Beizhou, where blood is permeated, murderous aura is soaring, and black energy is surging. It is obviously a dangerous place.

On the chess table, there are a large number of chess pieces lined up together. Some chess pieces are dotted with stars, some are shining brightly, and the power contained in some chess pieces is like the stars in the sky, releasing explosive power fluctuations.

The bright chess pieces represent the power of a monk with high cultivation.

The other chess pieces are the most in number, but their light is very dim, densely packed and hard to count, like dust.

The Lord of Longevity frowned slightly, and said solemnly: "The situation in Beizhou is getting worse and worse. I don't know when trouble will strike. At that time, the entire territory of millions of miles on the border of Zhongzhou will become A place where demons ravage."

Zhao Huai said solemnly: "Is there no solution? The temple master can deduce the world and master such supernatural powers, so can't he still defend against the enemy?"

The Lord of Longevity sighed and said: "The solution lies in the source. Whether it is the devil or the underworld, they all came from other worlds. If the immortal road is cut off, it is doomed that this solution cannot be solved. Now the lifespan of the immortal world seems to have entered the countdown. One day goes by, one day is missing, and I don’t know that there will be many disasters in the future, what the Xianmen can do is to cultivate the next generation.”

"This is what Xianmen has been doing for nearly a hundred years."

"It's all old bones. We can afford to wait for a hundred years, but what about after a thousand years? Can the inheritance of the lintel of the Xian family continue?"

Regarding this, Zhao Huai was silent.

Time is really poison, and it will flow away at any time.

Especially when he retreats.

The small world inside the mirror was immersed in practice for a while, and when he came back to his senses, the spirit stone was exhausted, and several months had passed.

A mortal's year is every day, and his year is more than two years.

Time flies really fast.

Finally, the Master of Longevity put his eyes on Zhao Huai, and solemnly said:
"The glorious Great Yan Empire in the past has already perished, and it has been restored in your generation. You have a long way to go. You not only represent the secular world, but also hope to represent the immortal sect. I hope you can be like the ancestor Yan, Rising again, shining on the lintel, can maintain the future of the world of cultivating immortals."

When Zhao Huai came out of the Taoist temple, his heart was still very heavy.

But the truth is often so heavy.

"Your Highness, have you come out? What did Master tell you, you look so bad."

Gu Tianji, who was on the side, had already been waiting at the door, and when he saw Zhao Huai's figure, he immediately greeted him with a smile.

Zhao Huai breathed out and smiled slightly: "It's nothing, I just said something I hadn't heard of before."

He was never a pessimist.

In his opinion, a day is a day to live, and there is no need to worry too much about tomorrow.

When trouble comes, just cut it off.

Gu Tianji's heart moved slightly, he guessed what the master might say, and comforted him: "These things are a bit heavy, but it should be encouraged in time, time waits for no one, there is nothing that cannot be resolved with a pot of wine, Your Highness How about going for a drink with me?"

"Brother Gu is right. If you drink alcohol, forget it. My wife doesn't like me drinking, and I'm not used to it."

Zhao Huai agreed with it very much, and then said seriously.

Gu Tianji laughed and said, "Tsk tsk, what an infatuated kind, it's fine, it's up to you."

"Should we go to the Wuji Immortal Sect first, or to forge swords? My suggestion is to forge swords first, say hello, and line up. In this spiritual mountain, there are many people who ask Master Ruan Ban to forge magic weapons every day. "

"Okay, just listen to Brother Gu."

Zhao Huai thought of something, and said earnestly: "Brother Gu helped me with such a big help, calling me His Highness is too natural, you and I should just call each other brother."

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that His Highness is also a lover. Okay, then I will call you Brother Zhao, and I will make you a friend."

Gu Tianji looked very happy, his smiling eyes narrowed.

Later, Zhao Huai followed Gu Tianji to a large hall.

The underground spiritual veins are connected, and the formation inscriptions are engraved on the surroundings, which can absorb spiritual energy at any time and send it to any place in Lingshan.

"call out!"

Accompanied by a whirlwind.

Zhao Huai came to a big black mountain, it was like a garbage dump, messy, but what was on the ground was not garbage, but all kinds of discarded magic weapons.

They piled up into hills of various colors.

"Ow!"

There is a burning fire on the top of the mountain, like a meridian, flowing to all directions of Tianduan Mountain, and the wave of fire turns into phantoms of various strange beasts.

"This is the Dao Fire of Ten Thousand Beasts, the source of the melting fire in Tianduan Mountain, and also the opportunity of this Fang Baofeng. No magic weapon can be forged without him." Gu Tianji explained aloud.

The two quickly entered a mountain villa, and the guys who came in and out were all tall and strong guys, shirtless.

"Keng!"

"Keng!"

The continuous sound of knocking iron came from the manor.

I met a lot of people on Zhaohuai Road, and they also know how to make magic weapons, but they are just apprentices.

"It's Gu Tianji who's here."

"He came to prostitute Master again?"

"I guess so."

Seeing Zhao Huai and Gu Tianji, many people were chattering.

Zhao Huai had a strange face, with questioning eyes, and glanced at Gu Tianji.

But Gu Tianji coughed in embarrassment and resolved the past.

After passing through the front hall, there is a place for display at the back. There are all kinds of magic weapons, whether it is swords, spears, axes, rings, necklaces, etc., all of which are shining with spiritual light and placed in the display cabinet.

"You little bastard, why are you here again?!"

As they walked, a deep curse came out from a large hall.

An old man with a big nose and a beard half a meter long came out of the shop with a livid face, still angry, as if he had been cheated.

"You just use the magic weapon I created as a gift, and then go pick up female disciples from other sects, right?"

"Oh, it's been a long time ago, why mention him?"

Gu Tianji smiled embarrassedly.

"Calm down, not this time."

The old man with the big nose snorted coldly: "Hmph! Gu Tianji, no matter what, I won't help you this time."

"This time it's not me who wants to create a talisman, but this one, so why can't you do me a favor?"

Gu Tianji pointed to Zhao Huai beside him.

The old man with the big nose cast his cold eyes on Zhao Huai. After carefully examining him, he finally shook his head and said:

"It's all the same, don't make it!"

"Tsk! Don't, do you know who he is?"

Could it be that Gu Tianji's face turned pale, he agreed to Zhao Huai's matter, so he will naturally do it.

"It's the same for everyone."

The old man with the big nose said lightly.

Gu Tianji introduced: "This is the Prince of Yan. I heard that you can create the best magic weapon, so I just came here. You can't let people return without success."

"And this time I pay, no, the Taoist temple pays, absolutely not on credit."

"Prince Great Yan, is that the descendant of Yan Zu who has been making a lot of noise recently?"

Hearing this name, the old man with the big nose showed a little surprise in his eyes, and looked at Zhao Huai again.

"Speaking of which, there is still some connection between me and Yan Zu."

The old man with the big nose thought about it and muttered softly.

Seeing this, Gu Tianji shouted: "This time, I will add ten pots of thousand-year-old dragon spirits, so it's worth the money!"

"You're being honest this time."

Hearing this, the old man with a big nose snorted coldly at Gu Tianji, then turned to Zhao Huai, his expression softened, and he said softly:
"Come in with me."

As the three of them walked, the old man with the big nose couldn't help turning his head and asking:
"Little brother, what kind of magic weapon do you want to build?"

Zhao Huai pondered for a moment, then replied:

"A sword, a sword strong enough."
