The Supreme Being

On the top of Shaohua Mountain, the drizzle is falling, the grass is deep and the trees are springy. Only the broken walls occasionally seen tell the story of the Buddhist catastrophe that year.

Stepping on the slippery soil and breathing the fresh mountain breeze, two old men wearing bamboo sticks and mango shoes climbed the back mountain surrounded by several men and women dressed as monks and knights.

After walking through the woods and arriving at the red boulder, a half-hundred monk with a sad expression clasped his hands together and whispered a Buddha's name: "Dorcha died here in the past, and his death was strange."

The leader of the old man had pale eyebrows and deep wrinkles. Hearing this, he said with emotion: "I don't know who actually killed him, but judging from the scars on the body, we can't deny the contribution of Master Xinji. My fate in the Central Plains has been reversed since then."

The changes in the eyes of the monk with a sad expression seemed to recall the disaster that destroyed the temple that year, with turbulent storms, thunder and fire, many monks sacrificed their lives, many heroes took righteousness, and the silence of his master delayed and severely damaged Duoercha. The fire was reserved for the revival of Shaolin and the fire for expelling the barbarians!

He sighed: "In times of crisis, heroes must appear. In addition to the family master, there were also hidden masters such as Mr. Zhang and the Buddha Sword Zhending who came to help in the past. Perhaps Duoercha was seriously injured and killed by them."

"I wonder where they are now, or whether they died together with Duoercha in the past." A girl looked at the red boulder and thought of her ancestors and heroes. "Without them, our Central Plains martial arts community might not have a chance to breathe."

The leader of the old man nodded slightly: "Now the National Master and the Wolf Lord are at odds with each other, and there are many masters in the world, and the expulsion of the barbarians is just around the corner, so I came here to pay homage to the martyrs."

The knights beside him took out various sacrificial objects and arranged them neatly. The old man picked up three sticks of burning incense and bowed in salute. Others followed, and several monks clasped their hands together and recited the mantra of rebirth.

On the cliff behind them, Meng Qi listened with his hands behind his back, wearing a green shirt without wind.

It has only been a few years, and titles such as Mr. Zhang and Karma Buddha Sword are like decades of vicissitudes. Unless mentioned by outsiders, they rarely linger in my mind.

Time washes away everything, and things that I once thought would be remembered forever can only be recalled inadvertently.

The stone walls on the left and right were rough, covered with moss, damp and cold. Meng Qi looked around, and everything from yesterday came to mind again:

Senior Brother Qi who talks a lot after being injured, Senior Brother Zhang who fights side by side, Zhiwei who persists in holding a sword even after being seriously injured, Gu Xiaosang who reveals his secret for the first time, the god and demon Duoercha who seemed invincible at the time...

Taking a deep breath and putting aside his nostalgic emotions, Meng Qi walked towards the depths of the corridor with his hands behind his hands. Outside, knights and monks were still burning yellow paper to pay homage to the heroes of the past.

He didn't go out to show off because the matter was urgent and it was impossible to stay for two full months. The longer it was delayed, the longer the interval between going back, and it was easy for changes to occur, such as Shinhwa's helping hand, so Meng Qi set a time limit of seven days for himself.

After seven days, no matter whether there is any harvest or not, you must return immediately!

At that time, there is another trick, which is to use a reincarnation talisman at the moment of return. I believe that the Nine Heavens Thunder God will not be able to interfere with the secret treasure, and he can sell iron in exchange for powerful items.

However, the Nine Heavens Thunder God must have arranged something like a formation in the place where he returns. He must block the left and right to avoid losing his life. He may not be able to use the reincarnation talisman in time, so he must prepare for the worst and use the incomplete "sticky cause and effect" ", carrying everything of the Nine Heavens Thunder God, and suffering severe backlash.

There was no light in the corridor, and it was dark and silent all around. It seemed that the most terrifying monsters and monsters were hidden. Meng Qi's acupoint opened, and the sun was moving in the virtual phase. It was like two sunrises rising in his eyes, and the darkness retreated behind the stone wall.

When he reached the end, something familiar appeared in front of Meng Qi again. The end of the secret passage was in a semicircle, surrounding what seemed to be an open stone room. There were stone beds, stone tables, and rotten futons.

The motto left by Ananda is engraved on the front mountain wall, but it no longer contains the true meaning. Not far away on the left side, there are faint traces remaining on the wall, like a stone door, with the words "Love, justice, kindness, do not enter this door"!

There is a deep small hole on the lower left side of the stone door, and there is an indescribable flame burning inside. Next to it are tiny characters. Although it is written in demon script that Meng Qi does not recognize, the meaning clearly comes to mind:

"Kill those who have bad intentions!"

None of this has changed, and it is exactly the same as what Meng Qi saw back then. However, his knowledge back then was completely different from what he sees now, and he directly saw all kinds of strange things.

It is rumored that the demon sage killed Ananda in Shaohua Mountain. Xiao Kong and the message "Kill the unlucky ones" seem to confirm this, but the strange thing is that the demon sage did not erase the motto left by Ananda and destroy Ananda's breaking sword skills. inheritance.

Based on her hatred at the time and her last edict: "Anyone who practices Ananda's sword-breaking skills will be punished by monsters and demons." This shouldn't be the case!

Combined with the residual aura of "Ananda" and Overlord in the ancient path of the Human Emperor, it seems to indicate that the Demon Saint did not succeed at the beginning!

——When the Human Emperor is alive, who can enter the ancient path? And the Human Emperor sat behind the Demon Saint.

"Is this the beginning of Ananda's reincarnation? The Ananda who left behind his mottos and inheritance is no longer the Ananda he was back then. He returned to the place where he was 'killed' to practice hard, only remembering his own pursuits, part of the exercises and visions The way to the wonderful use of vacuum..." Meng Qi was thinking about Ananda, and he felt more and more that this "Great Arhat" was mysterious, strange and unfathomable.

Meng Qi's eyes moved to the stone door and read the words "Love, justice, kindness, don't enter this door".

I didn't think it before, but now I see it, it is particularly strange, because it uses contemporary characters, not ancient seal characters, but characters that evolved after the chaos of the devil and Buddha, and were finalized thousands of years ago.

In other words, the person who left these eight words was tens of thousands of years later than the Demon Saint and Ananda, and it was very close to now!

Then why did he leave these eight words?

Doubts arose, Meng Qi walked to the stone door with only faint traces. The opportunity to "touch the cause and effect" has not appeared yet, it seems that it is inside.

This time, without touching it, Meng Qi directly sensed the coldness and horror of the door. It seemed that there were corpses and evil spirits in front of him, affecting his mind.

The spiritual platform was pure, without any ripples. The strength and realm of Meng Qi today and Meng Qi in the past were already a world apart. Facing the terrifying feeling, he was as still as a mountain!

Reaching out and touching the stone door, the feeling became stronger. Meng Qi suddenly exerted force, and the stone door made a creaking sound, but it did not open.

Pressing with both hands, Meng Qi exhaled and said:

"Open!"

The muscles all over his body swelled, holding up his clothes, but the stone door still only creaked.

Meng Qi stepped back a few steps, drew out his sword, and gathered his strength. The magic was only within a few feet. Dark clouds covered the sky, and the blue thunder was like a dragon, and it hit the stone gate at the same time as the shining sun.

When it was about to touch the stone gate, the sword was heavy, the sword light shone, and suddenly collided, and all the power was concentrated at one point.

Just as the "Sun Meteor" was about to explode, the stone gate shook, the water waves spread, and the abnormality suddenly disappeared. Meng Qi only felt that the sword was empty and had no power.

"This door is interesting." He retracted the sword, and his body suddenly expanded, pushing the top of the cave, stepping on the rock, and his right hand turned up, ancient and wild, white and powerful, "holding" the sky, as if it was a fairy god connecting the sky and the earth, and it seemed to support the mountain peaks of the sky.

The right hand turned down, and the palm was dark and gloomy, and the void shook, as if the heaven and earth were tilted, and everything was about to break, unable to avoid, unable to avoid!

The stone door was hit and shook violently, with debris flying everywhere and a crack showing, but it still held on tenaciously and made the noise disappear without any sound.

Meng Qi took another breath, maintained the Law of Heaven and Earth, and drew out the "Heaven's Wound" with his left hand. His eyes were half open and half closed, and his breath was vast and distant. The surroundings were chaotic, as if it was the beginning of everything and the cause of all results.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and the darkness and depth appeared.

The knife light shone, breaking the darkness, the depth, and the chaos. The stone door silently had a crack, almost piercing it, leaving only a little stone skin.

But before Meng Qi hit it again, the stone grew rapidly and filled the gap.

Returning to the original state, Meng Qi frowned. If he had stepped over the first level of the ladder, he would definitely be able to break through the door directly, but now he was a little short.

As for breaking other parts of the stone wall, Meng Qi believed that there was no way to enter this strange door.

His thoughts were churning, looking for a way to break the stone door.

Suddenly, he saw Ananda's words beside him, and his heart suddenly moved.

"Why did Ananda choose to practice here?"

"Is the sword technique of breaking precepts left here related to opening the door?"

Do it as you think of it. Meng Qi once again mentioned "Heaven's Wound" and activated "Touching Cause and Effect". He closed his eyes and felt that the stone door was in chaos, without cause and effect.

Strange... Meng Qi said inwardly and swung the knife in his hand. What would happen if "Touching Cause and Effect" was used without cause and effect?

This knife was ordinary, ordinary, without change, not heavy, not exquisite, only a little weird, as if it merged into the void, turned into an invisible fish, and shuttled through the inexplicable line.

The long knife slashed the stone door, Meng Qi's eyes blurred, and he felt the chaos change, the stone door moved forward, and he appeared behind the door!

Looking back, the stone door stood in the void, close to his back.

All around was a black land stained with blood, and there were rotten bones everywhere, and none of them were complete, all missing parts!

It looks like the demon world but not the demon world, like the Nine Netherworld but not the Nine Netherworld... Meng Qi looked around, holding his sword tightly in his hand, and saw black air lingering in the distance, covering something.

…………

It was noon and the sun was shining brightly in the back mountain of Liantai.

Teams of monks took turns patrolling here, and from time to time, elders or chiefs wearing yellow monk robes and red cassocks could be seen.

Near the entrance of the secret passage, water waves suddenly rose and flowed into the inside through a few gaps, silently.

This secret passage leads directly to a certain level below the stupa, but there is a fork in the middle, which is guarded by high monks of the outdoor level all year round.

At this time, an elder wearing a red cassock sat in front of the fork, and his breath was like a dead tree.

But just behind him, four figures appeared and walked!

They had a tortoise shell on their heads, with the numbers of yin and yang and the five elements, mixed with black and white dots, like a book.

All the places covered by the tortoise shell seemed to have escaped from the world, and no one could detect them. Even if they were behind the monks outside, they would not be discovered!

One of them was as beautiful as a woman, wearing a white robe, with an embarrassed face, and seemed to be ill for a long time. It was Wang Siyuan, who "calculated all the people"!

After reaching the end of the fork in the road, he looked at the stone door in front of him and coughed softly:

"Kong Hui has a hidden injury, which broke out at noon. He is unable to control the magic weapon. If he only has the Ananda sword, he will not be discovered as long as he does not approach the core area."

He seemed to be explaining to the person next to him.

There were also eight big characters engraved on the stone door:

"Love, kindness and benevolence, do not enter this door."

But they are glazed, with a profound Zen meaning, like a seal!
