Chapter 216 The Mirror of Good and Evil in the Sea of ​​Suffering (Two in One)

When Chen Kuang stood in front of the bodhi tree again, it was already three days later.

He raised his head to look at the lush branches and leaves, and his eyes dropped to the tree trunk.

At this moment, a woman's face and figure vaguely appeared on it, and blood oozed from the tree trunk, which has now solidified.

But it is still very conspicuous on the originally green tree trunks.

This phenomenon was only discovered by Zhengzhu disciples passing by after Xiuxin left the Pure Land that day.

After Xiuxin broke out of the Pure Land that day, as Chen Kuang expected, the first reaction of the three demons was to recall the two of them, for fear that the two insiders would take the opportunity to escape.

It can be seen that although on the surface the two of them have joined the gang, in fact, even Xiuzhu is not trusted at this moment.

Then several elders of the execution hall were sent to leave from the exit of the Pure Land to hunt down Xiu Xin, and released the news that Xiu Xin had been possessed by a demon and had betrayed Buddhism.

As for Chen Kuang, these three demons must have doubts in their hearts.

However, the changes that happened that day had nothing to do with Chen Kuang and Xiuzhu.

The problem was the Bodhi tree that once led Buddha to enlightenment.

Chen Kuang felt a trace of panic coming from those demons.

This shows that the problem with the Bodhi tree is not only beyond their expectation, but also beyond their ability.

This actually surprised Chen Kuang.

The unknown things awakened by his sword seemed to make these three demons very afraid.

Otherwise, they would never even start to guard against Xiuzhu.

and……

Judging from the situation at that time, the Bodhi tree did have its own consciousness, and it could control the entire Pure Land enchantment.

"However, her consciousness was unstable and she appeared to be in great pain."

Chen Kuang raised his head and traced the blurry face with his eyes.

Since that day, only Chen Kuang lived in this Zen monastery, and all other disciples were transferred to other places.

The Zhengzhu disciple who discovered this phenomenon and reported it to the three great Zen masters could not get out of the dim Zen room.

Chen Kuang has another secret that needs to be kept secret.

Although Xiuxin "somehow" escaped from the Pure Land boundary, except for such a true Buddhist disciple with upright character, the two remaining ones are now one of their own, making it easier to control the entire Pure Land.

Next, just gradually divide the Pure Land into two factions, and then gradually erode the opponents.

The final result satisfied the three demons.

Chen Kuang was even more trusted by these three demons.

He didn't try to ask the three demons what was in the bodhi tree, because even Xiuzhu didn't know what it was. If he asked rashly, it would only arouse suspicion.

But because of the smooth planning of Xiuxin's departure this time, Xiuzhu seemed to have completely let down his guard against him and secretly confessed his identity to him.

It turns out that Xiuzhu is nearly a thousand years old, of course, not this body, but his soul.

Thousands of years ago, Xiuzhu was not Xiuzhu, a disciple of Buddhism, but an elder in the realm of a master in the Pure Land, with the dharma name Zhihe.

He was both unfortunate and lucky.

Unfortunately, he was chosen by a demon to seize his body.

Even three great Zen masters could not withstand the power of the demon, let alone an elder at the master level.

However, Zhihe is lucky.

At that time, he obtained a special magical spiritual treasure called the "Mirror of Good and Evil in the Sea of ​​Suffering" in an ancient secret realm.

This magical spiritual treasure is special in that it can avoid reincarnation.

As we all know, only saints do not enter reincarnation.

Under the saints, they are just sinking in the sea of ​​misery, struggling for life and death.

The method of Suhui in the Pure Land is just to pass on one's own memory to those who come after. It does not mean that one will not enter reincarnation in the true sense.

Even if he accepts Su Hui, he is still a completely different and independent individual.

But those who hold the "Mirror of Good and Evil in the Sea of ​​Suffering" can truly avoid reincarnation!
This mirror can completely peel off the good and evil sides of a person.

It is equivalent to splitting the soul completely in two.

But it's not really separate.

Rather, they are like yin and yang fish, hiding yin into yang, and hiding yang into yin, infinitely nested inside each other, just like two mirrors contrasting each other.

Therefore, it will not have any impact on the holder while he is still alive.

Once the holder's soul is fatally damaged, the "Mirror of Good and Evil in the Sea of ​​Bitterness" will activate its true effect.

Because the soul of the holder has been changed into an infinitely nested state, only the outer layer is fatally injured.

That is, the "good side" or the "evil side".

Which side it is depends on the holder's own choice.

After the outer layer enters reincarnation and is crushed, the other side nested inside will be truly revealed.

At this time, Tiandao already believed that he had successfully involved the soul that should be annihilated in reincarnation and would not take action again.

At this point, the holder is completely free from reincarnation.

Crossing the sea of ​​misery.

Being able to be reincarnated like a saint with memories.

This was of course an absolute good thing for Zhihe.

At that time, Zhihe actually wanted to use this ancient relic to practice. He noticed that he had many distracting thoughts, so he wanted to use it to advance to the third level.

In fact, he did succeed. In less than three months, he was successfully promoted to the Xuanxuan realm and was about to become the new disciple of the Buddha.

If he hadn't encountered a seriously injured demon seizing his body.

The demon's seizure of the body is completely different from that of the practitioner.

The practitioner's seizure of the body only briefly occupies and controls a dead empty shell.

But the demon's seizure of the body completely occupied his mind and replaced this person's existence.

However, after the demon swallowed one side of Zhihe, he never expected that there was another one nested inside.

And even more dramatic.

At that time, Zhihe was devoted to Buddha, and the side that remained outside was naturally the "good side."

The seriously injured demon panicked and swallowed a true Buddha who was completely good!

As a result, it turned out to be reversed, and the two merged into one, and the "good side" of Zhihe took the lead.

In this way, Zhihe became a half-human, half-demon being.

But Zhihe is a true disciple of Buddhism, so how can he allow himself to coexist with demons?

He immediately chose to commit suicide.

However, the "Mirror of Good and Evil in the Sea of ​​Suffering" took effect.

The reincarnated Zhihe became the "evil side", but his soul still contained the "good side" that merged with the demon.

He escaped from the torrent of reincarnation in heaven and earth.

But he is trapped in his own cycle of good and evil and cannot escape.

"I know that I can't suppress that demon for too long. In each reincarnation, he is trying to influence the embedded side, trying to break away from the 'good side'."

"So I thought of a way."

Xiuzhu explained to Chen Kuang with that weird smile:
"My 'good side' is advancing rapidly in Buddhism, and I can reach the Xuanxuan realm every time in just a few decades, so I leave the relics every time so that I can become my own wise person again."

"To deepen the same memory over and over again, the devil will be completely lost in the 'good side'."

"And the demon was naturally unwilling to do so. Before my last reincarnation, he actually tried to implant a demon into my 'good side' and re-integrate my good and evil sides..."

"He was half successful, because he didn't know that the 'Mirror of Good and Evil in the Sea of ​​Suffering' also had another ability."

"It's about reversing the two sides of good and evil."

"It's just that in the process of entanglement, I accidentally attracted the attention of Heavenly Dao again, so I had to erase the memory of the 'good side' and reincarnate him."

"And I was able to 'surface' with the help of the demon's power."

"As for the relic, it has nothing to do with me, but the idea of ​​the three demons to hide it from others."

Chen Kuang finally felt enlightened after hearing this.

No wonder Xiuzhu got the relic inheritance but has no memory!
There was such a long and tortuous reason... But Chen Kuang also discovered that what Xiuzhu said was half true and false.

However, most of the key information is true and does not hinder his plan.

Chen Kuang did not go into details.

It didn't matter whether the person talking now was Xiuzhu's "good side" or "evil side", or even the demon, as long as he really wanted to help Chen Kuang get rid of the demon.

What Xiuzhu said later is the really important part.

That's how to kill a demon.

Things like demons are born without reincarnation.

After their death, they will not return to the furnace of yin and yang of heaven and earth like human souls, but will return to the "realm of desire."

That is where the demon was born.

Demons are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of losing themselves and becoming human.

Yes, although the devil's hobby is to replace humans, what they fear most is actually becoming humans.

Even if the occupied humans are killed, the demon itself cannot be killed.

Want to actually kill them.

The only way is to go to the "Desire Realm"!
This was Xiuzhu's original method. He approached the three demons as a heavenly demon in order to wait for their bodies to completely decay.

——Normally, there will be no abnormalities in the body of people possessed by demons. They will be like this purely because of the backhand left by the three real great Zen masters.

The current mission of these three demons is to occupy the Pure Land and allow other demons to enter the bodies of the Pure Land monks.

When they complete their mission, they will open the "Desire Realm" channel and let other demons come over.

It was that moment that Xiuzhu wanted to wait for.

He wants to use his identity as a half-heavenly demon to sneak into the "Desire Realm" and attack the demon from the inside.

I have to say that this is a bold plan that even Chen Kuang is a little stunned by.

Others are still thinking about how to fight against the 72 tribes of Yeman and others on the front line. He is already thinking about going to the "Desire World" to steal a house.

But the chances of this plan succeeding are slim.

How many demons are there in the "Desire Realm"?How strong are these demons?They are all unknowns.

Chen Kuang didn't think Xiuzhu could succeed with just one person's efforts.

But... Xiuzhu told him about this, obviously, he wanted him to be his teammate.

After Chen Kuang pondered for a moment, he was not in a hurry to reply. Xiuzhu also had some reserved information and needed to wait for him to make a decision.

Their top priority is to confirm whether Xiuxin can escape the pursuit.

"Xiu Xin was already injured at the time. It was a bit dangerous to be chased by several elders, but... it should be possible."

Chen Kuang's eyes flashed and he murmured in his heart.

After all, Xiu Xin also had a seed and a scale left behind by Chen Kuang with the help of the Zhankong Sword.

The seed is the magical power of "Borrowing Flowers to Present to the King" that Chen Kuang once obtained from Granny Hua in Infernal Affairs. This magical power has another use.

It uses its own flesh and blood as nourishment and blooms flowers to protect itself, at least to keep Xiuxin alive.

The scales are Chen Kuang's own shark scales, which are tokens.

If Xiuxin can meet Bailong, he will naturally be able to get help with the token.

Otherwise, relying on Pure Land's reputation in Cangyuan, the situation Xiu Xin faces now may be more difficult than when she faced Chen Kuang, who was being pursued by Wu Sheng Pavilion.

After Chen Kuang and Xiuzhu had a frank chat, there was actually one more thing that came to mind.

That was when he used the glass shadow lamp at the last moment of defeating Mu Zhao, and it illuminated the shadows of other people.

Apart from Shen Meinan and Shen Xingzhu, the other two were Jiang Yunqing and Xiuzhu.

In the light of the glazed shadow lamp, everything will lose their shadow.

Chen Kuang didn't understand it before, but now he understands it.

What the glazed shadow lamp illuminates is destiny.

They are the nine shadows of heaven!

The strangest thing about Chen Kuang is that he feels that these people have nothing in common. Why are they part of the destiny?

But after learning about Xiuzhu's past, Chen Kuang had some vague ideas.

Shen Meinan and Shen Xingzhu have one soul and two bodies, and can even use this to recast their Taoist hearts and exchange paths.

Xiuzhu possesses such a strange object as the "Mirror of Good and Evil in the Sea of ​​Suffering", entangles and merges with the devil, sneaks across the sea of ​​suffering, and escapes reincarnation.

Su Yu is integrated with the national destiny and the elixir of longevity. In a sense, he has achieved immortality.

Not to mention Chen Kuang’s own particularity.

As for Jiang Yunqing...the abnormalities he showed were actually only thought of by Chen Kuang when he recalled the past recently.

When he first entered the Pinggu battlefield, Jiang Yunqing once said that Wu Sheng Mu Zhao's "dominance" had covered the entire Pinggu battlefield, including the area near the door that opened the battlefield.

In theory, then, not only the masters in charge of the various sects will be affected, but other people should also be affected by the "hegemony" and be unable to detect the abnormalities on the Pinggu battlefield.

Chen Kuang had the passive ability of "seeing fire as if he were seeing fire", so he couldn't even notice it. It was because he saw the traces of Wen Yao's "Double Eyes Summoning Ancestors" that he felt something was wrong.

But Jiang Yunqing.

Before he entered the Pinggu battlefield, he had already given his sword to Chen Kuang.

It shows that he already knew about Mu Zhao's conspiracy as early as that time.

This couldn't have been told to him by someone else.

So there is only one possibility——

Jiang Yunqing is not affected by the "Dao domain"!

Chen Kuang retracted his gaze from the Bodhi tree and let out a sigh of relief.

At this point, he finally knew the commonalities among the people who were currently known to be "destined".

They all violated a certain way of heaven in some way.

"The one who rebels against Tiangang is actually the lost Tiandao itself?"

The more Chen Kuang thought about it, the more interesting it became, but gradually it felt heavy again.

He took out the glazed shadow lamp and played with it for a while, then sighed.

Since what he wants to do is to take back the Nine Shadows of Heaven, but these are living people, how can he take them back?
……

"Huh...huh..."

Xiuxin was hiding in a mountain forest somewhere, holding her wound and panting, her face pale.

At this moment, he had changed into a pair of short-sleeved civilian clothes and put on a tattered hat as a simple disguise.

——He exchanged this with nearby villagers.

At this time, Pure Land issued a pursuit order, and all those who came to hunt him were masters. His simple disguise was actually of no use at all. At most, he was just a mortal.

But he has always studied Buddhism with an upright mind, and has never learned such deceitful things...

In three days, he had dealt with dozens of waves of pursuers.

And a lot of it is repetitive.

Because he couldn't bear to kill.

In Xiu Xin's view, these people were all deceived by the devil, and he should not kill innocent people indiscriminately.

The only option is to fight them off until they are too timid and exhausted.

But Xiuxin was like this. After they were sure that the other party would not kill anyone, they became more and more bold. Now he was besieged by more than ten third-level people, most of whom were grandmasters.

"Xiu Xin, get out of here!"

"Xiuxin, come out quickly, otherwise these mortals will die because of you today!"

Xiu Xin was startled, then her face darkened, she stood up and quickly flew out.

A group of practitioners gathered together noisily, and among them were several frightened villagers, and even a crying child!

Xiu Xin's pupils tightened and she stared at the leader of the shouter.

The leader laughed: "A monk can't do well. How can he be so bad as a traitor and leave such obvious clues?"

He raised the prayer beads in his hand, which were exactly what Xiuxin used in exchange for the villagers' clothes!
