The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 570 Blue Lion and Desire

The blue lion, an ancient mythical beast, is rumored to be the mount of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva... But Fei Meng once told me that with the decline of Buddhism, the mythical beasts that the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas rode on have long been lost in history, and are now just characters in stories.

But now, Joyful Bodhisattva called the monk "Blue Lion"? He also bluntly said that the other party was just the so-called "ashes"...

Anyway, what are "ashes"?
While Zhao Chen was thinking, his eyes swept over the "guests" attending the wedding, including the Young Master of the Mu Family and the "Qingbai Fairy Couple", and he knew that the situation was actually quite unfavorable to the big monk.

After all, many people here hope that Joyful Bodhisattva can successfully open the ban and go find the treasure of the Chai family. They may expect these two mythical characters to suffer losses on both sides, but they will not sit idly by and watch the "Blue Lion" really take down the Bodhisattva.

What's more, the last sentence of Happy Bodhisattva directly "kidnapped" the synthetic people, making people afraid to act rashly...

The big monk was obviously very clear about this, so no matter how Joyful Bodhisattva tempted and stimulated him with words, he remained unmoved and just passively used the hazy smoke rising from his body to resist the approach of the golden rope.

At the same time, he also scanned the people present for the first time, and finally chanted the Buddha's name and said to Joyful Bodhisattva:
"Although I am your 'calamity', I am not a reckless person. I will not act now, otherwise I will not be able to achieve my goal.

"And as you said, I am just 'ashes', my soul has long withered, and I came to stop you just for the sake of mission, not because of emotions like 'anger' or 'hatred'. The actions you took in this dream that pushed your emotions and desires to extremes have no effect on me...

"So, don't waste your energy. I won't attack you right now."

Driving emotional desires to the extreme... Everyone was shocked when they heard what the big monk said, and then they examined their previous words, actions and thoughts, and as expected, they all found some big problems.

The young master of the Mu family is a "Dongxuan" immortal. Although his spirit and soul were damaged due to a problem with his martial arts, and he lost the four emotions of joy, anger, sorrow and happiness, he yearns for things that can cause his emotional fluctuations... but this is not necessary. When he first took the old man surnamed Chai to Fenglin Village, his mentality was just to have fun and relax.

When did it become necessary to break this restriction and enjoy more fun, or even make plans to help the "Happy Bodhisattva"? The young master of the Mu family looked thoughtfully at the two mythical beings in the confrontation, knowing that his "greed" was magnified.

But he did not think of eliminating this influence. Since he was already here, it would not be a big deal to indulge himself occasionally. With this influence, it would be easier for him to explain to the Daxia officials when he returned.

After Meng Sicheng started to practice his own mental method, he quickly discovered something abnormal about himself.

It was "anger"! When I entered this level of dream restriction... no, in the previous restriction, the anger in my heart had been aroused and magnified, otherwise I would not have been so resentful towards Zhao Chen, nor would I have rashly attacked the Joyful Bodhisattva.

After all, although the dream of the second level of restriction came from Zhao Chen, the reason why I was in such a mess was because of my own lack of strength. What does it have to do with him?

The fact that Thirteenth Aunt was possessed by the spirit of Joyful Bodhisattva and got married did indeed ruin the reputation of the Meng family, but since it had already happened, even if the wedding was ruined, the reputation could not be restored... I couldn't just kill everyone here to silence them, could I?
In fact, what I should not have done at that time was to kill the Happy Bodhisattva to vent my anger, but to calm down and think about how to properly resolve the subsequent issues.

This is caused by "anger and desire", taking out anger on others!

Different from Meng Sicheng's reflection, the Qingbai Immortal Couple sighed at the same time. They obviously knew their own problems, but they didn't care, because the "crazy desire" in their hearts had been with them for many years, and it didn't make any sense to let it go or not.

If Zhen Fan hadn't mentioned it, his "desire for hatred" was too obvious. If he hadn't been hit by the "Taixu Heart Sword", he would have gone to fight Zhao Chen to the death at this moment.

Yan Sanxia picked up the dishes on the table and took a bite, as if he was suppressing something.

As for Su Hanshui, he suddenly smiled with relief and shook his head, saying, "I have hidden that secret for many years, and have always been afraid of it being exposed, worried about this, afraid of that...

"I was just pointed out by the Bodhisattva, and I am mostly afraid that the secret will be revealed after I go out...

“So this is the culprit that prevents me from going further!
"Since we are afraid of His existence being exposed, how can we be compatible with His gifts?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Hanshui's aura surged, as if his soul had begun some kind of transformation.

"He suddenly had an epiphany, and his soul and spirit began to merge into a 'spiritual spirit'." While Ming Xueling was speaking, there was a constant flash of light in his eyes, as if he was recording this scene.

The combination of the three souls and the seven spirits condenses into the divine soul, which is the basis for achieving supernatural powers.

After all, how can ordinary souls and spirits possibly take on the magical powers related to the laws?

The entire practice of the "divine power" realm is actually to allow the process of the soul and the spirit to merge into one another to become more complete and stronger.

It can be said that Su Hanshui has completed the first combination of his soul and spirit. As long as the Yang Gang magic in his soul and the Yin Sha magic in his spirit can be pieced together into a magical power and have the "qualifications" to break through, he will be a master of magical powers.

Of course, since the mind realm did not have the conditions to break through the supernatural powers, Su Hanshui did not try to merge the Gang and Sha into one in one go, but stopped.

Anyway, having come to this point, he can continue to break through at any time.

Looking at Su Hanshui who closed his eyes to consolidate his cultivation, Zhao Chen also began to examine himself. It turned out that although he had the true energy and magic power of the "Five Immortals" to protect him, he was still affected a little.

The outward manifestation is that he seems to like teasing Ming Xueling in his dreams, and always shows off in front of her... In general, he just likes to show off in front of beautiful women, the kind of person who doesn't say everything and acts unfathomable.

This performance is a bit silly...

It’s also thanks to the fact that Ming Xueling was with me this time. If it had been Little Black Cat and Fei Meng, they would have laughed at me a long time ago.

What is this? Selective desire for performance?
Zhao Chen laughed and shook his head. He used the "Five Immortals' Spirit" true essence to circulate in his inner world for a cycle, but he didn't feel any relief. He simply ignored it. After all, it was harmless. He just didn't show this desire in front of the Joyful Bodhisattva.

He just infused some true energy into Ming Xueling beside him, so that she would not be dominated by the desire for "emotion" again.

Come to think of it, I did want to wait for a good opportunity to give Joyful Bodhisattva a “big” one… I wonder if this counts as a desire to show off?

With this mentality, Zhao Chen didn't notice that when Ming Xueling injected his magic power into him, the light in her eyes suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a moment of absent-mindedness.

Fortunately, she was sitting next to Zhao Chen, otherwise she would have fallen down.

"Lust"? "Passion"? "Eros"? Maybe, maybe not, I can't tell... But I can be sure that I am not longing for him as a person, but for his "beauty". "Five Emperors Pay Homage to the Truth" is really scary... Even the mana attribute that is the basis of this magical power makes me...

No, it should be that I am not the original creature and am born with some defects. That is why I yearn for it so much after seeing the "perfection" of the "Tao" of this world.

Of course, it is also because the Bodhisattva of Joy magnified this desire.

Ming Xueling maintained the basic computing power and conducted analysis... As for the rest of the computing power? Naturally, it was used to fight against those waves of fierce desires.

Her desires were not many to begin with, so they were too pure, which is why she is like this now.

Back to Joyful Bodhisattva, she was silent for a moment after the Blue Lion finished speaking, then she retracted the golden rope and asked, "How did you know?"

What she was asking about was naturally not the magnified "desire" in the dream. The other party had been entangled with her for thousands of years. What methods did she have? How could the "Blue Lion" not know?
What she actually wanted to ask was the "rule" that it was best not to attack her in this dream.

The great monk chanted the Buddha's name again and said calmly:

"There was a big problem with the way you handled the sword that benefactor Meng swung at you.

"You do have the means to charm the sword, but it is not something that can be easily accomplished with just a wisp of divine thought.

"This is essentially the dream of Donor Chai Xun. I don't know what the rules in his original dream were, but attacking you will obviously trigger his power...

"Because although the 'Taixu Heart Sword' you swung at Master Zhen had the intention of enchanting, at its core, it was actually the Chai family's 'Dou Zhuan Xing Yi' magical power!"

The Chai family's "Dou Zhuan Xing Yi" can record and store the magical powers encountered, and "return" them back at the right time, giving others a taste of their own medicine... Its upper limit is very high, even a first-grade magical power can be "returned".

Zheng Qingyan's introduction to this magical power echoed in Zhao Chen's ears. After thinking about it for a few breaths, he roughly guessed the situation of Joyful Bodhisattva.

The character that the other party wanted to make real was "Lord Mo Yun", who was Chai Xun's favorite. How could he allow "Lord Mo Yun" to be harmed in his dream?

Therefore, in the current dream restriction, attacking Joyful Bodhisattva will definitely lead to bad consequences!
As to why she didn't take advantage of this and kill the monk, it is unknown... Perhaps there are other "rules" in this dream that she and other guests are not aware of.

However, Meng Sicheng in the third row breathed a sigh of relief, and the "reluctance" in his heart subsided a little.

After all, his magical powers were not simply "enchanted" away, so the humiliation was suddenly alleviated a lot.

“It was that sword that exposed my true identity…” Joyful Bodhisattva seemed to suddenly realize something, then stared at the monk and chuckled, “But this is not enough to explain why you knew that I couldn’t deal with you with all my strength if you didn’t attack me.”

The monk moved the Buddhist beads hanging around his neck, and after completing a circle, he replied, "You also know that I came here because of the last request for help from the donor Mu Zirong.

“The letter he threw out with all his might naturally contained some of the rules of the dream.

"After all, the role he played in this beautiful dream you prepared was 'Chai Xun'. After the fake became real, he naturally gained some of the authority in Chai Xun's dream..."

“I see.” Happy Bodhisattva nodded, “The last question is, how did Mu Zirong summon you from history?

"Even if 'calamity' is linked, making some accidental possibilities greater, things with zero probability will not happen."

The Blue Lion remained silent for a few breaths, and simply responded: "Mr. Mu's Thousand Characters magical power chose the "Lü Gong Stele"."

"Lü Gong Tablet? Ha! I forgot. The Lü Gong Tablet records the story of Lü Chunyang. He tried his best, and with the help of the power from this dream, there was a slight chance that he could communicate with Lü Chunyang through the Dao text.

"After all, Lu Chunyang is not dead yet!
"With his help, it's not so surprising that you can come to this dream." Joyful Bodhisattva's doubts were all resolved, and then he looked at the monk with sympathy. "It must be hard to not be able to lie to others, right?
"Especially when it's hard to even refuse to answer."

This was not a real question, so the "Blue Lion" just bowed his head and recited the scriptures without responding.

Joyful Bodhisattva did not care about this, but in a good mood he stretched out his white finger and pointed it in front of the "Blue Lion":
"In that case, you can come and 'witness' as the remnant of the previous era."

Knowing that the opponent would not cause trouble at this stage, Joyful Bodhisattva no longer had the intention of getting rid of it immediately. After all, the "auspicious time" was approaching, and it was too late to circumvent some rules to capture the "Blue Lion".

After everyone present was declared a "witness", Joyful Bodhisattva slowly walked back to the main seat in front of the main room. Her sleeves fluttered lightly, and she looked like the graceful steps of flowers and willows as she walked. However, her clothes gradually changed from black to bright red, except for her veil.

The festive music became more lively and the dancers' dances became more and more accustomed to it. Except for the absence of the "groom", this wedding had undoubtedly been pushed to its climax.

At this moment, the door of the main house opened, and the last of the three masters of supernatural powers in the Mu family, the uncle of Mu Zitong and Mu Zirong, Mu Shixuan, the author of "Goddess of Luo River", came out pushing a bed.

There was a man lying on the bed, wearing auspicious clothes and a flower on his chest. He was Mu Zirong, who was chosen as the groom.

But at this moment, Mu Zirong seemed to be asleep. Apart from the rise and fall of his chest, there was no other movement.

Why did he sleep in the bed? To prevent him from making any more small moves, so he was made unconscious?
But since Mu Zirong has been bewitched and it has come to this point, wouldn't Joyful Bodhisattva still have the confidence to control him and make him cooperate in finishing this scene?

Or, what phenomenon or law is being conformed to by having the groom lie down, so that the effect of turning the fake into the real will be better?
While Zhao Chen was making random guesses in his mind, he suddenly noticed that the "starry sky" above his head had undergone some subtle changes, as if a dead object had shown signs of "coming alive".

He couldn't help but look up at the sky that looked like an oil painting, dotted with countless stars. Looking at the huge black line in the center of the "oil painting" that looked like an eye crack, he actually felt that there seemed to be something important behind it that was attracting him.

The next moment, the black line in the center of the night began to tremble violently, and then slowly unfolded...

At the same time, Mu Zirong, who was lying on the bed in front of the main room in the courtyard, slowly opened his eyes.
