Shenyin Shanhaijing

Chapter 1083 Eighteenth Grade White Lotus

The little novice monk "Kong Jian" wrote down what he saw and heard, and sent the transcript back to Yuxu Peak through Shen Qing'an.

Lu Cheng read the transcript and called his wife Jiang Qiuyun to tell her the matter.

After listening to this, Jiang Qiuyun said: "According to Maha Kassapa, the Chaos Green Lotus gave birth to four lotus seeds and gave rise to four magical lotuses, namely the twelve-grade golden lotus of merit, the twelve-grade red lotus of karma, and the twelve-grade red lotus of karma. The black lotus of the world-destroying grade and the green lotus of the twelfth grade of creation. I have a question, why are each lotuses of the twelfth grade?"

Lu Cheng looked at her quietly and said nothing.

Jiang Qiuyun continued: "There are a total of four lotuses, each of twelve grades, and the total is 48 grades. However, according to our research, the Chaos Green Lotus has a 64-layer structure. Each lotus should be of 16 grades to form a complete inherited."

Lu Cheng smiled and said: "We have to look at the problem from the perspective of development. Chaos Qinglian is spiritual, and with the development of the universe, it is also constantly improving. If my guess is correct, when Chaos first opened, Chaos Qinglian's level is relatively low and does not have a 64-layer structure, so it cannot be counted as a 64th grade.

Do you remember that I once traveled through time and space, followed Emperor Jun into the ground, and obtained a fragment of the Chaos Green Lotus. After research, I found that it only has 59 life talismans, equivalent to 59th grade.It is not the later 64-dimensional structure.

Chaos first emerged more than a billion years earlier than Emperor Jun. At that time, the Chaos Green Lotus probably only had 53-55 destiny talismans. 52 divided by four equals 13. 13 is an odd number and is not a stable structure, so we should retreat. Only by seeking the second best can there be a twelve-grade lotus flower. "

Jiang Qiuyun smiled slightly: "What you said makes sense, but I also thought of some questions: Why did the Chaos Green Lotus produce four lotus seeds instead of three? Five? Eight? Nine? It produced four at once. What about the lotus seeds? Or does it spit out lotus seeds every 138 million years? Did it spit out lotus seeds when chaos first opened? Why did it no longer spit out lotus seeds in the subsequent [-] billion years?"

Lu Cheng was left speechless by the question. He stroked his short beard on his chin and thought for a long time. Suddenly his heart moved and he shouted: "I seem to understand! Those lotus seeds were not spit out by Chaos Qinglian on his own initiative. , but the fragments of the Green Lotus that were cut off by Pangu when he opened the sky! Maybe the rumors are wrong. The so-called Pangu opened the sky, not the creation of the world, but the rise of his divine power to fight against the Chaos Green Lotus. He was defeated, just like Emperor Jun later. , the body was swallowed by the Chaos Green Lotus, and only three souls escaped."

This time, it was Jiang Qiuyun's turn to be surprised.

After thinking for a moment, she asked: "If Pangu and the three thousand gods and demons were born from the Chaos Green Lotus, then why did Pangu have to fight with the Chaos Green Lotus when he grew up? He just Can’t you talk properly?”

Lu Cheng said: "Sometimes, conflicts are irreconcilable. The Chaos Green Lotus gave birth to Pangu, but bound him tightly. Pangu wants to be free and break free from the constraints of the laws of heaven, just like a chicken that needs to break out of its shell."

"Why does Chaos Qinglian want to devour his body?"

"Did you know? Some chickens will peck open the eggs they lay and eat the eggs and eggshells. Either because of calcium deficiency or because of weird quirks."

Jiang Qiuyun said: "Okay, according to what you said, Pangu split the Chaos Green Lotus, and its fragments flew out and fell into the hands of Hongjun, Ancestor Minghe, Demon Ancestor Luohu and Jieyin Buddha. Hongjun, Minghe and Rahu is both a god and demon, so what about Jingyin Buddha? Is he also a god and demon?"

Lu Cheng shook his head slightly: "I don't know. It is said that the oldest Buddha is not the Receiver Buddha, but Samantabhadra Tathagata - also known as the Primordial Buddha. Samantabhadra Tathagata is the first deity in the formless realm to become a Buddha. A person who became a Buddha before immeasurable great kalpas (a great kalpa is a cycle of birth and death in the universe, a great kalpa is equivalent to 268.768 billion years) is the ancestor of all Buddhas and the totality and essence of all Buddhas in the three generations."

Jiang Qiuyun said again: "Cheng, even if you guessed correctly, what benefits can it bring to us? Is it possible that we really want to snatch those lotus flowers? This is very difficult. Once we do it, it will be a fight to the death. . Our enemies are not the four ancestors, but countless monks in the world. For example, take Buddhism, do you know how many disciples there are in Buddhism?
Lu Cheng said slowly: "I didn't want to snatch the lotus from other people's hands. I just thought of the hundred-meter-high green lotus fragment that was cut off by Emperor Jun. After shrinking, it became a three-meter-sized petal, about two inches thick. Half of them were cut into 0.5 pieces, each 1.5 cm, and kept in different places. The remaining half, about [-] meters long, was stored in a purple gold alms bowl. Where did you put that purple gold alms bowl?"

Jiang Qiuyun said: "I kept it in the 'Treasure Tower'. I asked someone to fetch it."

The Lu family has some sacred artifacts, which are stored in the "Treasure Tower" and suppressed with a complex array.Because the holy weapon has a spirit, it will escape if you are not careful.

The person responsible for guarding the "Treasure Tower" is Tao Qianqian, the third-generation eldest daughter-in-law of the Lu family.She and her husband Lu Lingchen both cultivated to become the first-level Immortal Emperor.

Not long ago, Tao Qianqian sent a purple gold alms bowl.

The alms bowl, a magical weapon developed by the Lu family, has a tight lid, just like a gold jar containing chess pieces.

Lu Cheng opened the lid and took a closer look. He was surprised to find that there was a huge lotus seed inside, which was milky white and even bigger than an ostrich egg!
Seeing this scene, Jiang Qiuyun and Tao Qianqian couldn't help but be stunned.

"How could this happen? The petals turned into lotus seeds? What on earth is going on?"

"It's so weird! It's incredible!" "Why is it milky white? Isn't it gold, red, black, or cyan?"

"Can this lotus seed survive?"

Lu Cheng's eyes shone, and his face showed joy, but at the same time he felt a little regretful: "It's a pity that I chopped up the other half of the green lotus fragments. If I didn't cut so many, this lotus seed could be bigger. If it can be planted alive, it can bloom. The lotus produced is of a higher grade."

Afterwards, he called soil scientist Lu Xiuzhu and botanist Lu Lingchen, handed them a large ceramic urn of sacred artifact level, and asked them to plant lotus flowers on the top of Yuxu Peak.

Why go to the top of Yuxu Peak?Because the fairy spiritual energy and Hongmeng energy are the most abundant there.

Why use a sacred urn?That was to prevent Lotus from escaping.In fact, the entire Yuxu Peak has been sealed by the formation. Even if the lotus planted is of a high level, it will be difficult to escape.

Lu Cheng told Lu Lingchen: "This matter is very important. If you can plant a lotus, I will help you."

Lu Lingchen first used spectroscopy and fluorescence detection to conduct non-destructive identification of the lotus seeds, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, don't worry! Although this lotus seed has been sealed in the purple golden bowl for many years, it still retains vitality and is [-]% active. It should be able to be planted come out."

Lu Cheng patted him on the shoulder: "The next step is up to you."

According to the traditional method, Lu Lingchen broke the seed coat, soaked the seeds and raised the seedlings, keeping the water clear and the temperature at about 15°C. He changed the water every day. After only one week, the lotus seeds sprouted. After two weeks, they took root and transplanted them into a large ceramic urn. middle.

He buried the rhizome about 10cm in the mud, with the head low and the tail high.The tail half is raised to prevent water from entering the lotus root tail.Place the pot in the sun to allow micro-cracks in the soil on the surface to facilitate the complete adhesion of the lotus roots to the soil. Then add a small amount of water until the buds emerge, gradually deepen the water level, and finally maintain a 3~5cm water layer.

While Lu Lingchen was planting lotus seeds, Lu Cheng called over Lu Qianchuan, the dean of the School of Life Sciences, and asked: "When I cut half of the green lotus petals into [-] pieces and gave them to you for research, have all those slices been used? ?”

Lu Qianchuan replied: "Only more than 20 pieces were used. Most of them are stored in liquid nitrogen."

Lu Cheng said: "Take two pieces, add culture medium and culture them, and see what changes happen to them."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements now."

Not long after, Lu Qianchuan also cultivated lotus roots, but the lotus roots he cultivated were of a lower grade. After genetic testing, it was found that it was equivalent to a ninth-grade lotus root and was of little value to the Lu family.Because the Lu family already has a ninth-grade lotus platform.

The white lotus cultivated by Lu Lingchen was not simple. In the first year of planting, it bloomed with three layers of petals, in the second year with six layers of petals, in the fourth year with nine layers of petals, and in the fifth year with twelve layers of petals. Fifteen layers of petals bloom in the sixth year, reaching their peak in the seventh year, with a total of eighteen layers of petals, equivalent to an eighteenth-grade white lotus!

And what's amazing is that those petals always bloom and wither very slowly, with only one petal falling about every 3000 years.

Starting from the ninth year, various runes begin to appear on the petals.

As a result, the descendants of the Lu family had another task. They set up multiple video recorders around Bailian to record all the runes, and then specialized personnel analyzed and studied them and compiled them into a book.

In the year 14050 of the Shenting Calendar, Lu Cheng took a thick stack of information and read it.

These information all come from the petals of the white lotus.The words displayed by Bai Lian are all kinds of strange. In just 20 years, it has spit out 98 cultivation techniques of more than Immortal Kings, including Immortal Mental Techniques, Buddhist classics, and even Demon Clan Mental Techniques.There are those who practice the Three Pure Qi, some who practice the King Qi and the Domineering Qi, and there are also those who practice the Xuanhuang Qi.

In addition to the complete exercises, there are also messy sentences involving yin and yang, the five elements and eight trigrams, the five innate Tai Tai, the mysteries of the creation and destruction of the universe, and even physical laws, chemical conformations, mathematical theorems, and philosophical concepts...

Lu Cheng sighed while flipping through the pages, saying: "It's really all-encompassing! It's like a Dream of Red Mansions. Confucian scholars see "Yi", Taoists see obscenity, talents see lingering, revolutionaries see platoons, and gossips see The secrets of the palace."
