The copy of the universe from the journey to the west

Chapter 221: Clear your mind and savor the image! Final farewell! (ask for monthly ticket)
Cheng Gongxing was also at a loss.

If his three main incarnations were all present, a Buddhist arhat, a Taoist master, and a Confucian and Taoist scholar, the three bodies combined into one would be comparable to an ancient immortal.

In addition, he himself is comparable to the ancient immortals, and his strength is definitely enough to suppress all the villains.

However, Buddhayasas was swallowed by the bull demon in the north, and Liu Yimin was killed by the Green Snake King.

Yin Changsheng said, "Master Shaoyang, you are not really going to take action, are you? This bastard is talking one thing and doing another."

Cheng Gongxing was calm and composed: "I am a human race, and I should seek happiness for all living beings in the world. Some people do not want our human race to dominate, and want to change this world into a different one. I don't want that, so some people are deliberately doing something behind my back. If possible, I don't want to let the four great caves collapse. After all, they were also human beings before they became gods and immortals. But they don't want to be human beings anymore, and only want to be gods and immortals who oppress all living beings for thousands of generations. Then I can only send them to their ideal country."

Yin Changsheng said with disdain: "That sounds nice, but what's the matter with Senior Xinglin Zhenjun? Why did you release the big monster from the monster clan?"

He and Dong Feng are good friends, and he even received inheritance from Dong Feng!

Cheng Gongxing was silent for a while before he slowly said, "Dong Feng went back of his own accord. He seemed to have sensed something before he died, so he took the initiative to die. As for the snake demon, this is the general trend and the rule. Our existence is to make the story develop reasonably."

"hehe!"

Yin Changsheng sneered, but the suspicion in his eyes did not fade a bit.

Cheng Gongxing looked at Yin Changsheng and said, "Master Changsheng still doesn't understand me. I would never intentionally kill innocent people."

Yin Changsheng curled his lips.

Is it necessary for me to understand you?
It would be better if I never meet you in my life.

Wang Xuanfu thought for a moment and said, "You spared Yunfang's life, so I owe you a favor. You can help me, as if I'm repaying you. However, I will only attack the Demon Buddha, and you need to deal with the Bull Demon in the North by yourself."

Cheng Gongxing breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Deal! When will Master Shaoyang make his move?"

Wang Xuanfu stretched out his hand and calculated, and said: "It will take me another seven years to complete the task."

"Okay, I'll come back in seven years."

Cheng Gongxing nodded, and then turned his gaze to Yin Changsheng: "Lord Changsheng, although you have many evil thoughts towards me, I did not lie. Dong Feng volunteered to die. Otherwise, there would be no Yizhu born today."

Yin Changsheng frowned but didn't respond.

Cheng Gongxing had never thought of clearing up the misunderstanding with just a few words.

Seeing this, he said nothing more and turned and left.

After Cheng Gongxing left, Yin Changsheng said to Wang Xuanfu: "Master Shaoyang, are you really going to help him? Those of us who have reached this level of cultivation know that there is still room for maneuver, but if you take action, the meaning will change completely."

Wang Xuanfu nodded slightly: "I know, there are still seven years left."

"These seven years are not even enough time for a retreat."

Yin Changsheng smiled helplessly and said, "Besides, Sri Manjusri will start the Unobstructed Assembly tomorrow. There will be 75 days in between, and the devil Buddha will definitely take action. Cheng Gongxing promised you seven years, and I'm afraid I don't know what kind of calculations he has in mind."

"Don't worry, he will stop him." Wang Xuanfu said lightly.

Seeing this, Yin Changsheng could only sigh helplessly.

……

The next day.

At Donglin Temple on the northern foot of Mount Lushan, the much-anticipated Wuzhe Conference officially began.

Countless Buddhist believers came from all over the country, and the number of people gathered together once exceeded 100,000!

Fortunately, Donglin Temple had already made preparations and had cleared and widened the mountain road from Huxi to Donglin Temple, so people could enter quickly.

When the Wuzhe Assembly began, the cheers from the monks and believers could be heard even in Xunyang City, far to the north.

"Spectacular."

On the top of Longshou Mountain, Cheng Gongxing was looking at the scene in the distance.

Behind him, Daosheng hesitated and said, "Lu Chen didn't come."

Cheng Gongxing looked calm, "It would be best if he could come. With him, a natural born Buddha, he can suppress the devil Buddha. It doesn't matter if he is not here. Zong Bing, a half-Buddhist, can also do it."

"Namo Amitabha."

Daosheng clasped his hands together and said, "After this method is used, I'm afraid Zong Bing's life span will be shortened."

"nothing."

Cheng Gongxing said calmly: "With Huiyuan's presence, it can be made up."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the spirits of Huiyuan and Tao Yuanming appeared before him.

It’s just that both of them are now in a state where they can’t move or speak.

Cheng Gongxing looked at the two and said, "I'm sorry, for the sake of all living things in the world, I can only borrow your luck. Your bodies are already dead, for the sake of all living things in the world, I'm sure you two will agree."

Tao Yuanming stared at Cheng Gongxing fiercely, while Huiyuan beside him looked very calm and even exchanged glances with Daosheng.

But when he saw that Daosheng's eyes no longer had the look he remembered, he could only close his eyes to hide his painful expression.

"Zong Bing, are you not feeling well yet?" Cheng Gongxing looked at Daosheng beside him.

Daosheng looked back. Behind him, Zong Bing had just put away his brush and was looking at the long scroll in front of him. He nodded with satisfaction, looked up at the two of them and said, "It's ready. With the borrowing method, I have learned the 'way of landscape painting'. The secret realm of Taoyuan has been perfectly sealed. We can proceed to the next step."

As he spoke, he looked at the scroll on the ground again, with madness flashing in his eyes.

This is a landscape painting. In the painting is a mountain village. Inside the village, there are farmers tilling the land and children playing. Outside the village, there is a peach forest and a small river running through it. On the river bank, a small boat is floating alone on the water...

lifelike!

At first glance, it feels like entering a real world.

This is a painting!

Zong Bing's heart was burning with passion. He had been painting for decades, but only today did he understand what painting was!
Suddenly, he looked up and looked at Tao Yuanming: "It still needs a boatman to add the finishing touch."

Tao Yuanming closed his eyes.

Cheng Gongxing nodded: "Yes."

Zong Bing smiled and with a stroke of the brush in his hand, Tao Yuanming's soul was condensed at the tip of the brush.

Then, with just a few strokes, he outlined the figure of a fisherman on the boat.

The fisherman looked very lifelike, paddling the raft.

"Okay!" Zong Bing finally felt relieved.

"Do you want to rest?" Cheng Gongxing asked.

"No need, it's just the right time!"

Zong Bing laughed and said, "I am so inspired by painting that I wish I could include the whole world in my painting!"

"Then..."

Cheng Gongxing turned his gaze and looked towards the direction of Donglin Temple: "... Let's get started!"

Daosheng bowed to Huiyuan and said, "Master Yuan, I am sorry for my rudeness."

Huiyuan remained indifferent and closed his eyes like a dead person.

Daosheng didn't mind, and immediately stepped forward, grabbed Huiyuan, and Buddha's light emerged from his body and he recited scriptures.

Huiyuan's body gradually merged and finally condensed into a golden relic.

Zong Bing also stepped forward and swallowed the relic in one gulp. Buddha's light emerged from his body and his eyes seemed to become calm.

Daosheng then put away the "Taoyuan Picture" that Zong Bing had just painted and threw it into the sky.

In an instant, the world in the painting appeared.

"Namo Amitabha!"

Daosheng was sitting cross-legged and chanting scriptures. Inside the Donglin Temple, a black Buddha statue could be seen slowly opening its eyes.

"presumptuous!"

A deafening sound exploded in Daosheng's ears, and blood flowed from his ears, but he just groaned and continued to recite the scriptures regardless.

"Go away!"

The Buddha statue stood on a golden lotus and smashed down towards the paradise world in the sky.

"Press!"

Cheng Gongxing waved his whisk and spoke lightly, and the paradise world that had turned into a dome obeyed his orders and pressed down.

At this moment, it was as if the sky was falling!
With a loud 'boom', 'Xutian' suppressed the black Buddha statue underneath.

While Cheng Gongxing was fighting with the people in Donglin Temple, Zong Bing also rearranged a new canvas and unfolded it in the air.

"Cheng Huai!"

He whispered, and the aura on his body began to become very pure, clean, and clear.

"Taste!" He uttered the two words again, and then, the countless mountains and rivers, figures and plants in the area of ​​dozens of kilometers around Donglin Temple, all had a wisp of energy condensing towards the tip of his pen.

Among them, the black Buddha statue is the most popular!

To clear one's mind is to have a state of mind that is empty, calm and clear.

Taste is the enjoyment that is felt both physically and mentally.

Xiang means image.

To clear one's mind and savor the images is the highest understanding of the art of painting that Zong Bing gained through the use of fate!

With a clear and empty mind, free of distractions, use your whole body and mind to feel the images of all things and incorporate them into your creation.

However, the aura of the black Buddha statue is too distorted.

They kept trying to pollute him, but Zong Bing was originally half a Buddha. The so-called half a Buddha means someone who has a connection with Buddha and learns everything by himself, but he cannot reach the realm of Buddha.

However, after he swallowed Huiyuan's soul, half of his remaining body was temporarily replaced.

The golden Buddha light shone on his body, melting and crushing all the black energy that wanted to invade him.

He remained indifferent to all the intrusions and began to paint on the white scroll.

It's like when that stroke is put down, it becomes a mountain and river!
A vertical stroke of three inches represents a height of a thousand feet; a horizontal stroke of several feet represents a distance of a hundred miles!
As Zong Bing painted, the scene inside Donglin Temple was quietly disappearing.

If a tree falls on a painting, the tree should be eliminated; if a mountain falls on a painting, the mountain should be lost.

When all living beings in the temple fall onto the painting, all living beings disappear!

When Zong Bing finally put his brush to rest, there was no trace of the Donglin Temple on Mount Lu, completely removed from the painting.

The black Buddha roared in rage and delivered a final blow. Although it defeated the "Utopia World", he himself was completely absorbed by Zong Bing's brush and then captured in the newly appeared "Lushan Picture".

Several pieces of scrolls were scattered in the wind. They were the broken pieces of "Peach Blossom Spring".

But at this time, Cheng Gongxing and the other two no longer took it seriously.

"You two, I am leaving now."

After Daosheng clasped his hands together and bowed eleven times, he walked towards the direction of Donglin Temple on Mount Lushan where a piece of land was missing. His figure gradually disappeared, and a fantasy world of Buddha light appeared quietly.

Cheng Gongxing was indifferent and looked at Zong Bing: "One month and one day, is it possible to hold on?"

Zong Bing smiled and said, "When I become a Buddha, my spirit will spread out in all directions, flowing endlessly, reaching the sky above and the earth below. My mind is the creator of everything, and all dharmas are empty. The karmic relationship is long-lasting, and will take millions of kalpas to pay off."

Cheng Gongxing nodded: "Then go!"

Zong Bing turned and left. Cheng Gongxing looked at the "Donglin Temple" in front of him and also disappeared.

Taixu Temple is located at the southern foot of Mount Lu.

The Heluo technique is quietly operating.

Lu Chen had a feeling and woke up from removing the pollution from the "Lingbao Five Talismans Sutra".

"Something has changed in the north."

Lu Chen frowned, stood up and flew high into the sky, looking towards the north.

Looking from afar, Guixu felt that there was something unusual about the northern foothills of Mount Lu.

Lu Chen had no intention of moving forward, but a trace of uneasiness emerged in his heart.

This is a spur of the moment feeling.

"Don't look anymore, something must have gone wrong."

Zhang Jiao also flew to Lu Chen's side: "Someone just fought a magic battle. Although the fluctuation of the spiritual power of heaven and earth was only for a moment, it was a huge movement. It must be a fight at the level of ancient immortals. Although I can't see clearly, something must have happened there."

Lu Chen didn't reply, he was still thinking about something.

Daosheng wrote him two letters in reply. Although he did not say it explicitly, he actually intended to let him go to Donglin Temple.

But he vaguely sensed that something was wrong at the time, so he didn't go.

And now something really happened in the direction of Donglin Temple.

Lu Chen didn't believe there was no trick involved.

Either Huibao and the others had discovered Daosheng's identity as a spy, and deliberately set up a trap to let Daosheng lure him over, or... Daosheng probably had bad thoughts about him. In short, they were no longer the same kind of people.

The north wind blew, bringing with it several pieces of torn drawing paper.

Lu Chen stretched out his hand and grabbed several pieces of drawing paper in front of him.

Lu Chen took a look at it. The neatly organized farmland and houses in the painting, the blooming peach blossoms, the stream flowing through the peach forest, and the boatman paddling in the stream looked very familiar.

Lu Chen stared at the boatman in disbelief.

The boatman seemed to look back, smiled at him, and waved, as if saying goodbye.

"I have lived long enough, and I don't want to ask about family affairs anymore. I will live as long as I can. If Monk Huiyuan and Mr. Bai are ready to go out for a walk, I will go with them to see..."

The familiar voice and familiar words lingered in my ears as if they were yesterday, and then gradually fell into silence.

The drawing paper also quietly deteriorated at this time, from being brand new to becoming increasingly dry and yellow. Then, when the wind blew, it turned into tiny bits of debris that floated in the air.

It seemed as if this painting was here just to say goodbye to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen clenched his fists, his figure flashed, and he went towards the depths of Mount Lushan.

"Wait for me!" Zhang Jiao called out and hurriedly followed.

Not long after, Zhang Jiao looked at Lu Chen who was continuously casting spells on the opposite wall. He seemed to understand something, sighed, and patted Lu Chen on the shoulder: "The dead are gone, and the living mourn in silence."

Lu Chen stopped what he was doing. The Peach Blossom Spring could no longer be opened. There was a mark left for him by Bai Weng, but it had completely disappeared.

It's not that it has moved away. No matter how it moved, the jade pendant with the word "Lu" on it can sense it.

But now, there is no feeling.

The Peach Blossom Spring has really disappeared.

After a long silence, Lu Chen looked up at the sky and said in a daze, "It's June now."

Zhang Jiao nodded: "It's already the end of June. In another half month, it will be the transition from summer to autumn."

"Don't tell Xiu Jing about what happened here."

Lu Chen said.

Lu Xiujing is actually much purer than him. He is filled with many strange things in the real world. No matter what kind of matter he looks at, he always raises a question mark first.

For example, the Buddhism in the world of Journey to the West, the so-called Zhisui Zhenliu in the world of the heavens, and so on.

No matter what you watch, no matter whether they are good or bad, you should preconceivedly label them as "conspiracy theories".

Because the social relations in the real world "taught" Lu Chen that there is no free bread in the world, and everything that benefits you actually has a price marked in secret.

As for whether the conspiracy theory is right or wrong, that is a matter for the future. Just be vigilant.

I'll say it when I really can't avoid it!
But Lu Xiuchen was different. He had not received too much weird theoretical information.

The motivation behind looking at many things is still the most primitive curiosity.

Although the Three Character Classic had not yet been published, Mencius' theory of "man is born good" was still popular in the world.

If he knew that something happened in Taoyuan Cave, he would definitely not be able to calm down.

"Of course." Zhang Jiao nodded in agreement.

Lu Chen didn't say anything more and turned to leave. Zhang Jiao turned around and took a deep look at the stone wall in front of him, then left with Lu Chen.

Lu Chen did not go to Donglin Temple. A great battle between humans and immortals had just taken place there, and Lu Chen would have to be crazy to go there.

I'm afraid that if he goes, he will walk into a trap.

Returning to Taixu Temple, Lu Chen went to see Lu Xiujing first.

At this time, Lu Xiujing was studying how to integrate the fasting rituals he had collected.

Seeing Lu Chen coming, Lu Xiujing hurriedly stood up and showed Lu Chen his recorded thoughts.

After reading it, Lu Chen pointed out a problem: "Your theory is good, but why do you still use the Ghost Officials' Liquor System of the Heavenly Master Dao?"

Lu Xiujing immediately replied: "Because this has been passed down by the Tianshi Dao for hundreds of years."

After hearing this, Lu Chen shook his head and said, "You also said that this is a system from hundreds of years ago. The world at that time was even more chaotic than it is now. There were many ghosts, lewd worships, and witches and ghosts offering sacrifices. When the Tianshi Dao was first established, it was still in the southwest of Shu, so the management system of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect also fits the social environment at that time. However, Taoism and Buddhism are flourishing now. Although the witches and ghosts still exist, they are still minor ways. The Taoist philosophy has begun to take root in people's hearts. In this case, why do we still need to borrow the way of witches and ghosts?"

Lu Xiujing was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "No destruction, no construction?"

Lu Chen nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, there is no construction without destruction. Although the current system of ghost officials serving wine has been passed down for a long time, there is no eternal dynasty in the world, and the same is true for the Taoist system. The ghost officials serving wine, once heard, have the shadow of witches and ghosts, so some people in the Taoist sect will be led by it to some bad habits of witches and ghosts."
