Chapter 479: Little Fish Diamond, Plague King Sends Wine

Su Hanshan said, "It's okay to speak frankly. As for whether I agree or not, that's another matter."

The young monk opened the cloth bag, and the old monk fanned it with a fan, and a water ball flew out of the bag.

Looking at the fist-sized water ball, there seemed to be some white spots inside. Looking closely, there were hundreds of thousands of small fish inside.

As soon as Su Hanshan saw these little fish, he knew what was going on.

These small fish were originally Buddhists with great accomplishments in the secular world.

They are quite good at exorcising evil spirits and resolving conflicts caused by demons and monsters. They often have many friends and are highly respected by people, but in a sense, they also make many enemies.

Whenever there is a bald head in a crowd, it is shiny and bright, and most of the time it will be the first target of attack by the monsters.

But in the past, this kind of bald head was often very strong. By chanting scriptures and reciting mantras, they could borrow the power of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who had made great vows for blessings. If all else failed, they could also borrow the power of the guardian deities of the temple and the Five Directions Bodhisattvas.

If most of the enemies bit him, the bald man would be fine, but he would lose a few of his own teeth.

But when the black lotus of nothingness bloomed in Lingshan, these monks and nuns were in bad luck for the rest of their lives.

Not only were they unable to borrow the magical powers of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, they were also affected by the Black Lotus of Nothingness, which weakened the foundation of their own hard-earned mental power.

It has not been long since the Black Lotus of Nothingness bloomed, but countless Buddhist disciples have died in the pursuit of revenge.

Buddhism has its own wonderful method of accumulating cultivation over many lifetimes. It doesn't matter if you die once or twice. When you die, your soul will run faster than anyone else and will be reincarnated quickly.

As long as you don't commit any excessive sins during your lifetime and can do some good deeds to accumulate virtue, the Buddhas above will look after you, and you can continue to be a Buddhist disciple in your next life.

However, this time they were entangled by the Black Lotus of Nothingness, and everyone did not run fast enough, so those few souls were seriously injured. If it were not for the ghost messenger who was loyal to his duty, I am afraid these souls would have been dispersed halfway.

But there will be no extra care. With such a small remaining soul, it can only be reborn as an animal after reincarnation and become a small fish or shrimp.

Fish and shrimp will naturally suffer. This is a disadvantage, but it also has advantages. Fish and shrimp cannot commit any evil deeds. After reincarnation for more than ten times, their souls will be nurtured a little, and they may be reincarnated as humans again.

Maitreya Bodhisattva is the savior of Buddhism in this great catastrophe.

After the Buddhists' plot against Kinnara Bodhisattva failed, Maitreya became their most promising way out. Since he is highly respected by the Buddhists, he must also take on the responsibility of rescue.

He reincarnated and walked around the human world. No matter where he went, the reincarnated Buddhist disciples nearby would be attracted to him. He would try to lure them into his own pocket, waiting to find a way out for them.

"The Three Realms are vast. In the human world alone, there are four continents in the east, south, west and north, the central sea, and the eight oceans. Many places are uninhabited and full of spiritual energy. Wild beasts can eat fruits to be full and do not fight with each other."

Ji Gong waved his fan and said, "Emperor Mu loves to travel. Now that he has woken up, he must want to travel far and wide. I hope you can take these dozens of small fish with you and find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and no hunters, and then release them."

The little monk was a little surprised: "Didn't I say I should rescue them? I gave them to this uncle and then let them go. I am still ignorant and have no intelligence."

Ji Gong knocked his little bald head and said, "Do what you can, do what you can."

"Go with the flow and do what you can. This is not only helping yourself, but also helping others. If you force yourself to save them and keep them with you, then given the situation where they are being hunted down, if they fall into the hands of the pursuers, I'm afraid their souls will be extracted and used to refine treasures, and they won't even have the chance to reincarnate again."

The little monk Budai said aggrievedly: "Then why do you still tell me that we should save them and help them become human again?"

Ji Gong smiled and said, "Because you really should do that. Even if you can't do it now, you should understand what kind of things should be done."

As he spoke, Jigong fumbled around in his sleeves.

The sleeves were tattered and could not hide a steamed bun or hold back a breeze.

He pulled out a palm-sized purple gourd from inside, stood up and was about to hand it to Su Hanshan, "This is a little reward."

Su Hanshan hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, isn't this a leg-stretching, eye-glaring pill?"

Ji Gong laughed and said, "How could Emperor Mu hear such idle talk?"

The "Stretch Your Legs and Stare Your Eyes Pill" was actually a magical medicine prepared by Jigong. However, he was wandering around the world, pretending to be half-crazy, and sometimes he gave the medicine with the intention of punishing and enlightening others.

After people took the medicine, their legs would often kick and their eyes would bulge out, as if they were dead, and they would need a night to recover. Moreover, when he took the medicine, it looked like a mud ball rubbed off the body.

It's a bit shabby indeed.

"The gourd in my monk's hand is not filled with any elixir, but the eighteen grains of diamond sand that the Buddha gave to the Eighteen Arhats."

Ji Gong said, "This diamond sand has some wonderful properties of trapping and hitting people, but it is not very useful. The real powerful part is that it can ward off water and fire. The seven true waters and seven true fires in the world can come and go freely with the help of this diamond sand."

"Originally, each grain of diamond sand is attracted by the wisdom of an arhat. Even if the arhat does not take it with him when he travels, your grain will follow him."

"It's just that since I was reincarnated as a monk, these 18 grains of diamond sand may have also wanted to be earthly beings, and they all came to me. When my fellow disciples saw them, they all agreed that I would be the one to decide on these treasures in the future."

Su Hanshan took the gourd and felt the eighteen tiny sparkling crystals inside jumping and leaping with joy on their own.

These eighteen diamond sands seemed to be able to faintly sense Su Hanshan's Taoist wisdom.

When Su Hanshan got these 18 diamond sands, he felt that there was a cause and effect in his body, and he was vaguely touched. After a silent calculation, he immediately knew the whole story.

It turns out that Lü Dongbin, one of the Eight Immortals, was the Donghua Immortal in one of his previous lives. He was also an ancient immortal who once visited the Queen Mother of the West and was quite loved by her.

King Mu of Zhou was able to find the country of the Queen Mother of the West and obtain the elixir of immortality thanks to the immortal Donghua who led the way.

It can be said that the Immortal Donghua owed him a little life-saving grace.

If he were the real Emperor Mu, he would definitely go there to repay his gratitude.

Now the Eight Immortals are separated and trapped in the East China Sea. The Dragon Clan of the East China Sea is famous for making the best use of the seven true waters between heaven and earth.

If Emperor Mu gets these eighteen diamond sands, he will get a great advantage.

When Su Hanshan figured this out, he couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart.

With his cultivation of the Infinite True Way, he was able to restrain his own cause and effect, and calculate the cause and effect of King Mu of Zhou clearly, and this was also with the help of the Taiyi Wheel.

With Jigong's level of cultivation, he should not be able to see the subtle changes in ancient cause and effect so intuitively.

However, relying on his wisdom and experience, a little cooperation arranged by Jigong could benefit many parties and have a far-reaching impact on the world.

However, Su Hanshan is not ready to go to the East China Sea rashly yet.

It was the Dragon Emperor Yuyuan and Patriarch Buzhou who worked together to bring him to this world.

Especially the Dragon Emperor. The kind of attraction he exuded at that time through the blood feud of his offspring proved that he should have a very powerful clone in this world.

The famous dragon clan forces in the East China Sea are most likely related to the Dragon Emperor.

Even if Su Hanshan wanted to go, he had to wait until he had a deeper understanding of this world.

"Okay, I will definitely help you get these little fish to a good place."

Su Hanshan shook the gourd, uncorked it, and eighteen grains of diamond sand leaped out.

He blew on the emery and said with a smile, "You all heard it, right? Why don't you find a safe place to put these little fish?"

The eighteen grains of emery seemed to understand, and each one shone brightly, with clear crystals and smooth edges, as they circled in the air around the water ball.

Every edge and corner on the surface of the emery seemed to be connected to the water ball by a thin thread.

The diamond dust was spinning on its own, and all of it was spinning around the water ball, and in an instant, this invisible connection became intricate and complex.

The pangolin and the little monk with the bag vaguely felt that when the thin threads were wrapped around the surface of the emery and water balls, they were full of a unique rhythm.

Although it is extremely fast and complex, it is also beautiful and regular.

In just a moment of distraction, all the emery and water balls disappeared.

The little monk holding the cloth bag shook it in surprise.

His cloth bag was actually very heavy, because it carried countless causes and effects. But just now, the bag suddenly became a little lighter.

"That was just now..."

Ji Gong was a little absent-minded, "Self-entangled cause and effect?"

Since one can avoid water and fire, one can naturally avoid light and air, and even entangle the cause and effect with each other, avoid the contamination of external factors, and temporarily break away from the calculation of cause and effect.

These eighteen grains of diamond sand actually have infinite potential.

When the Eighteen Arhats first obtained it, even with the eighteen people working together to push it, its power was mediocre and it was only considered a mediocre treasure.

After Jianglong had been reincarnated many times, Jigong achieved the great Arhat, possessed prajna wisdom, and had firm wisdom. The eighteen grains of diamond sand came to him on their own initiative.

The other seventeen Arhats did not even notice how the diamond sand left their sides, and only then did they realize that this treasure was extraordinary.

But Jigong understood that even if he used these eighteen grains of diamond sand, he could not achieve the same level as before.

"It seems that Emperor Mu is not going to leave for the time being."

Ji Gong praised, "For ten thousand years, Emperor Mu seemed to be in deep sleep, but his cultivation was unfathomable. He is totally different now!

"I have slept for ten thousand years, and I only feel that the sky is getting higher and higher, and the earth is getting thicker and thicker. Naturally, I will have some experience."

Su Hanshan said, "However, I am more curious about those people who made the Three Realms of Heaven and Earth continue to grow and formed a thick fetal membrane outside of Heaven and Earth."

He shook his sleeves, and the aura of the plague messenger flew out, like a small snake biting a long sword, and was held in his hand.

"The two people I just captured are also part of it, right?"

Su Hanshan used his knowledge of ghosts and gods to analyze these two rays of spiritual light and gained a lot.

In fact, people like Zhang Kui and Zhu Tianlin were once immortal officials in the heavenly court. They were called "star immortal fetuses" and were creatures created by secret methods.

The heaven is not static.

Not to mention the past that is too long ago, just from what ordinary immortals know, the Heavenly Palace can be divided into two eras.

The former is the era of ancient gods, and the latter is the present heaven.

In the age of ancient gods, there was no complete system of spiritual practice in the world. All spiritual beings without fathers or mothers, born from the natural world, mountains and rivers, were called gods.

Although these gods are gifted with extraordinary talents, they may not know how to cultivate. Many weak gods, thousands of years after they were born with intelligence, are still unable to defeat some of the more talented wizards in the world.

The most powerful gods may not have mysterious means, but they are born to represent a certain phenomenon in the world, have a solid nature and great potential, so they can become leaders of all gods.

The Queen Mother of the West whom Emperor Mu visited back then was an ancient god, and one of the four great gods of the ancient god era. She is not the same person as the Queen Mother of the Yaochi Palace in the Heavenly Palace today.

The last Emperor of Heaven in the ancient gods' era was a usurper of power. In order to consolidate his authority, he even tried to kill the then god of war Xingtian and denounced him as a monster, which caused dissatisfaction among the gods. In the end, he was overthrown by Xingtian's son and other gods.

But this last Emperor of Heaven once operated the Gate of Heaven and refined ten golden crows, connecting with the energy of the sun outside the sky for his own use. This was a pioneering work and left a strong mark on the path of cultivation in the world.

Ten thousand years ago, there was a great man in the world who comprehended a secret technique. It is said that he was inspired by the Gate of Heaven and the Ten Golden Crows and created the technique of "Starry Immortal Embryo".

Once each immortal fetus is conceived, it can communicate with a star outside the sky and draw energy directly from the depths of the star.

The masters of the world competed to study and refine star fetuses. Of course, at first they just wanted to use these fairy fetuses as their own clones, or as magic weapons.

However, these immortal fetuses inherit the characteristics of the stars and have extraordinary natures. The more they communicate with the stars, the more their natures become prominent.

At that time, there were many cases where masters' clones and magical weapons escaped from control and killed their masters.

After these star fetuses escaped the control of their refiners through cruel means, they became unruly and ignorant, fighting each other between heaven and earth, and almost causing a catastrophe.

Fortunately, there is Laojun who observes the way of heaven, controls the actions of heaven, creates the heaven and earth, expands the heaven and earth outward, guides the power of all the stars and immortal fetuses, transforms them into natural mountains and rivers, and redefines the structure of the three realms of heaven, earth and man.

Many powerful men became new gods. The gods reshaped the heaven, refined the Haotian Golden Palace, sat in the center of the heaven, and guided the operation of the three realms.

The starry immortal fetus was suppressed by the entire Three Realms. It circulated with the circulation of the deep vital energy of the Three Realms, was contaminated by the air of the mortal world, and gradually gained clear intelligence. It turned into a living being and entered the human world to experience tribulations.

The Heavenly Court has refined new star fetuses. This time, from the moment they were refined, there was no intention of turning these fetuses into clones. Instead, they were allowed to grow their intelligence, and were carefully taught and led onto the right path.

The two kinds of immortal fetuses fought against each other, and the old immortal fetuses were gradually subdued and included in the heavenly court to serve.

Use the new immortal fetus to reconcile the vitality characteristics of the old immortal fetus, turning decay into magic and turning disaster into blessing.

All the star fetuses, as long as they live within the Three Realms, no matter they are lazy and secluded, diligent in practicing, fighting each other, experiencing life and death, the power they gain from communicating with the stars will feed back to the Three Realms and make the Three Realms stronger.

The Heavenly Court is in charge of the stars and the three realms. It measures the star energy that is beneficial to the three realms, which is divided into 365 major categories.

The corresponding stars selected by the new star immortal fetus must be within these 365 categories, and the vital energy of the old immortal fetus must also be transformed into these 365 categories.

Therefore, these 365 types of vital energy are also known as star energy.

However, Master Tongtian openly declared.

"In the Zhoutian universe, there are only 365 kinds of righteous stars, and there are more than 84,000 kinds of evil stars."

"Like this Heavenly Court, it is too biased to use the original power of the stars. It must first stop the power from outside the sky and transform it again. This really lives up to the name of Heaven! Stop!"

"Only my Tongtian Sect has an unyielding great way that leads directly to the outer world. This is the ultimate truth of heaven and earth, the true face of the universe, and the best of the best."

The magical method of Master Tongtian is indeed exquisite and moving. In addition, there are already many former immortals in the Heavenly Court who are secretly dissatisfied with the Heavenly Court.

With the personal assistance of Master Tongtian, many powerful men in the Heavenly Court joined his sect.

Especially the Lord of Plague, who was also known as the Great Emperor of Plague. He was originally the head of the Plague Department of Heaven and held a high position of power. However, he actually took the lead in rebelling against Heaven and caused quite a stir.

Among the people sent by Master Tongtian to hunt down the remnants of Buddhism, the Lord of Plague is one of the leaders.

His hair was red like fire, his face was blue like stone, and he looked very majestic. He was wearing a bright red robe, with several small gadgets such as bells, jade pendants, etc. hanging around his waist, and he was holding a long sword with a sheath in his hand.

At this time, he was standing on the hill where the Mausoleum of Emperor Mu was originally located, looking down.

"Hmm? He clearly blocked all inductions before, but now he deliberately released the spiritual light of Zhu Tianlin, the southern plague messenger..."

The Plague King's mouth curled up, his beard fluttering, and he laughed loudly, "Well, you are worthy of being a hero who once traveled the world."

"For your courage, I'll give you a glass of wine first!"

The sword is unsheathed.

The Plague God raised his sword, and an inexplicable sound like chanting or singing arose between heaven and earth, accompanied by the dance of ghosts and gods from the mountains and rivers.

Within a radius of four or five thousand miles, the sky was changing colors with wind and clouds, and the mountains, rivers and land were cloudy and sunny.

The moist rain from the forest flows backwards into the sky, pouring down heavy rain into the clouds.

Waves of stone rain came from the dark clouds, filling up the mountain streams, and all kinds of abnormal weather conditions emerged.

The wind was howling, and a pale green air current visible to the naked eye was blowing out from the hole in the sky, sometimes like a ghost's smile, sometimes like sharp claws.

"And, heaven and earth are the furnace, and nature is the craftsman..."

The heroic ballad rang in Su Hanshan's ears.

Thousands of thunderbolts flashed in the sky, the void in front cracked, and a long sword stabbed straight at him from thousands of miles away.

Amidst so many sudden changes in the world, the sword was incredibly steady. The blade was handed over flatly, and near the tip of the sword was a green jade wine cup.

"Drink from my jade cup, and the wind and frost will turn you into jade!"
