Chapter 686: Dusty Memories! Zhou Dao's Inner Demon
The Five Aggregates of Space and Mystery cut off the five senses and six senses, enter the realm of eternal cessation of space, contemplate emptiness, and gain access to the Tao. This is the non-dual method.
A great master from Longhu Mountain once said that if you want to reach the state of "harmony" and understand the principles of heaven and man, you must cut off the connection with this world, and enter the void with your five senses and six consciousnesses, so that you can contemplate the void. , see the divine nature.
Those who have not yet developed their ordinary roots cannot enter this realm, so there are strange spiritual fragrances such as [Five Yun Kong Xuan].
Even so, ordinary people simply cannot bear this kind of incense. Once they enter the realm of annihilation, it is like falling into the void of life and death, or the illusion of Nirvana. The soul is extinguished like a lamp and can never be rekindled.
From ancient times to the present, only Taoist masters, whose souls are as immortal as glass and indestructible as diamonds, can burn this spiritual incense and comprehend the Taoism.
Even so, it is still accompanied by great risks.
For example, there was a Taoist master in Longhu Mountain who burned this spiritual incense and sat there for hundreds of days. Eventually, the essence and blood in his body withered, like an extinguished oil lamp, and he died silently.
"He...he can actually bear this fragrance with his body length!?" Bai Shuangshuang's face turned pale and she couldn't believe it.
Even among the elders in her family, there are only a few who have such magical powers.
Her little Taoist skills would be lost in just ten breaths of time, not to mention that her body was like a hollow valley, swallowing incense.
"The Five Yun Kongxuan is like going through the cycle of life and death. When it is destroyed, it means death, and when it returns, it means rebirth... This person actually has such a method."
At this moment, the mysterious man wearing a cloak sitting next to him spoke.
Her voice was ethereal and graceful, and there was an alluring charm hidden in the coldness. She was actually a woman.
"Aunt Yun..." Bai Shuangshuang couldn't help but said.
"Your father said that all things are born and come to this world in order to cut off the connection with this world. This is the essence of spiritual practice."
"Nirvana of life and death, cultivation of truth under false pretenses!?"
Zhou Dao's eyes narrowed and he murmured softly.
His voice was soft and gentle, but when it hit the mysterious Yun Yun, it was like thunder, deafening and deafening.
"Under the emperor's feet, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers. This young man is not simple."
Buzz…
All the incense in the room entered Zhou Dao's body. In an instant, everyone who had been in a dreamland gradually woke up.
Zhou Dao sat cross-legged without moving, and there seemed to be firelight behind him, layer upon layer, like the backlight of gods and Buddhas.
"Prince Yuan..."
The Ninth Prince was the closest, and he looked slightly sideways, unable to help but feel moved.
In the faint firelight, he seemed to see another figure hidden in Zhou Dao's body, floating in the void, sitting upright on the nine heavens, with five qi in his chest and three flowers in his head.
"The way he walked...is this the image of a Jiuyin Taoist priest?" The Ninth Prince was moved and murmured softly.
"The place where Qin Taizu established the country is really where the wind and clouds gather, and there are masters hidden there." Mysterious Aunt Yun said suddenly.
Buzz…
As she spoke, she raised her hand, her white arm gently stretched out, and the [Wuyun Kong Xuanxiang] in the furnace suddenly went out.
Almost at the same moment, a wisp of black light sank into the incense burner. In an instant, the extinguished incense burned again, and the fireworks and birds gathered like black clouds, making it even more weird than before.
"Another Taoist spiritual fragrance!?"
When everyone saw this, their expressions changed, they stood up one after another, and subconsciously stepped back, with deep surprise in their eyes.
At this moment, everyone was extremely curious as to where the passerby in front of them came from, and they actually raised their hands and took out two kinds of spiritual incense.
Wuyun Kong Xuanxiang is already rare in the world, and even the Sixth Avenue Gate may not contain treasures.
At this moment, the spiritual incense that the mysterious Aunt Yun took out seemed even more weird and mysterious.
"Black!?" Zhou Dao's heart froze slightly, and he felt that this scent was quite familiar. It aroused his soul and made him unable to control his thoughts.
"Young man, this incense is called [Holy Incense of Inner Demons]. I don't know if you can bear it." Mysterious Aunt Yun said quietly.
As soon as these words came out, Bai Shuangshuang couldn't help but look surprised, and couldn't help but turn sideways and look at Aunt Yun.
"The inner demon enters the holy incense!?"
The Ninth Prince frowned slightly. This name fell from the sky like an eagle flying to the ground, making his eyes freeze.
The inner demon enters the holy incense, which is not an ordinary spiritual incense.
Rumor has it that the being who created this spiritual fragrance was a Taoist master from ancient times named the Heart Demon Old Man.
Regarding this old man with inner demons, there is no relevant record in any ancient books. This name only appeared when [Inner Demons Entering the Holy Incense] was mentioned.
It is said that once this incense is lit, no matter how deep your cultivation is, how great your Taoism, or how powerful your magical powers are, you will see the demonic obstacles in your heart and face the most fearful existence in your heart.
The sudden rise of demons in the heart will never be restored, and the death of a god is like the extinguishing of a lamp. Once it is over, the heart will enter the holy state and will no longer have any flaws.
"Let's go, these people have a lot of background." The Ninth Prince came over and lowered his voice.
"If you can't see your inner demon, how can you see God!?" Mysterious Aunt Yun whispered.
"Young man, if you don't have the courage, you can leave."
"Aunt Yun, don't provoke him, or someone will die."
Next to her, Bai Shuangshuang couldn't help but said, but there was a faint smile hanging on the corner of her mouth.
"Inner demons, inner demons...what could my inner demons be?"
Zhou Dao murmured, and an invisible wave spread, overwhelming, filling the entire Xianke Tower.
The mysterious Aunt Yun moved slightly, and saw the black clouds and smoke rising from the incense burner like a big dragon, pouring into Zhou Dao Tianling's body.
"You..." The Ninth Prince's expression suddenly changed, revealing a worried look.
The inner demon entering the holy incense is considered an extremely strange existence in the history of Taoism. Even the powerful Taoists dare not touch it at will.
You must know that the stronger your cultivation level, the more serious your inner demons will be. Once you cannot overcome them, you will be doomed.
He didn't expect Zhou Dao to be so trusting that he wanted to see the demon in his heart in front of everyone.
Rumble…
Countless lights and shadows flickered around Zhou Dao, like the roar of a great river, rolling and sweeping past.
Zhou Dao is like a grain of dust, swimming upstream in this endless river.
"Looking at the past, I seem to see reality." Zhou Dao suddenly said.
When the inner demon enters the holy incense, it is not like seeing an illusion in the mind, wandering around in the world, as if time is going back, and all experiences are as real.
Suddenly, a huge whirlpool appeared on the surging river. Zhou Dao looked into it, and a vivid picture came to his face.
It was a large tomb, where the dragon veins of the world gathered together. The ancient tomb door slowly opened, and he stepped into it and saw the supreme existence sealed for endless years.
"Yuanzu!" Zhou Dao looked solemn.
At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the Yuan Wang Dharma Assembly, entered the central tomb, and saw the only immortal existence in the world as Yuan Wang and as the descendant of the Sunset Sect.
"My inner demon..." Zhou Dao's nerves became tense.
The battle between Yuanzu and Sunset lasted almost throughout the ages.
This immortal existence has continued to appear and appear in the long history, almost exterminating the Sunset lineage.
In this life, even though Yuanzu was forced to reincarnate with the help of King Yuan's Dharma Assembly, it was like a big mountain, always pressing down on Zhou Dao and the Sunset Sect, making it impossible for people to breathe.
Zhou Dao knew very well that with Yuanzu's methods, as long as he was given some time, he would be able to make a comeback, and when the time came, it would be the catastrophe of the setting sun.
Wow…
Suddenly, waves swept across, and with a roar, the huge whirlpool was instantly submerged in the rolling river.
"No!?" Zhou Dao's heart skipped a beat and he looked confused.
For him, if there is an inner demon, it is probably Yuan Zu.
In fact, he had already prepared in his heart.
But Zhou Dao never thought that Yuanzu's light and shadow just flashed past, but he was not dragged into it.
What does this mean?
This shows that in his heart, the Yuanwang Dharma Assembly and meeting Yuanzu are not the inner demons that scare him the most.
Rumble…
Suddenly, the river shook, huge waves arose, covering the sky and the sun, and a huge vortex appeared in front, like the bloody mouth of a giant beast, trying to swallow everything in the river.
In an instant, a feeling of weightlessness spread throughout his body.
Zhou Dao is like a fallen leaf, drifting and surging, falling into the huge whirlpool.
Countless lights and shadows flickered in front of his eyes, converging and pouring into his body, and the real feeling became clearer and clearer.
…
The sun was setting, weeds were everywhere, and two figures were on their way on the winding mountain road.
One tall and one short, a boy and a toddler.
"Senior brother, you should eat some too."
Zhou Dao from Roududu had a big mouth and only took half a mouthful of steamed buns.
He looked to the side, smacked his lips, asked in a sweet voice, and handed over the steamed bun in his hand.
"Junior brother, it's just a steamed bun, you better eat it." The young Lin Jie showed the demeanor of a senior brother.
"But……"
"Good boy, you are growing, I still give you this steamed bun."
Young Lin Jie wiped the grease from the corners of his mouth, stuffed the fat chicken leg in his hand into his mouth, and tore off a piece.
Zhou Dao, who is rich in meat, swallowed his saliva, it was so delicious.
"Brother, I also want to eat chicken legs."
"Be good, this thing is too oily. You will have diarrhea if you eat it. You will suffer the consequences, senior brother."
The young Lin Jie stuffed the chicken leg into his mouth in one gulp. His mouth was filled with oil, and even the chicken bones were sucked out of the chicken marrow, leaving a fragrant smell on his lips and teeth.
"Brother, you are so kind."
Zhou Dao, who was in Roududu, ate the steamed buns and felt grateful.
"Senior brother, look..."
Suddenly, Zhou Dao, who was full of flesh, jumped up violently, like a frightened little animal, and hid behind Lin Jie.
Lin Jie looked up and saw a pale skeleton covered in the grass on the roadside.
"What's so scary about dead people's bones?" Lin Jie curled his lips and suddenly felt that the chicken bones in his mouth were tasteless.
He reached out with his big hand, rubbed the grease on Zhou Dao's clothes casually twice, and then strode to the skeleton.
"Senior...Senior brother, what are you doing?" Zhou Dao, who was in Roududu, stretched his head, wanting to see but not daring to look.
"The ghosts of those who died in a foreign land are good materials for refining."
Lin Jie formed a seal with his hands, and his blood energy surged like a talisman or a curse.
Suddenly, the dense white bones suddenly cracked open, and a stream of gray light flew out from it, landing on the fingertips of Lin Jie's hands.
"Senior brother, when can I practice magic?" Zhou Daodu said with some envy.
"When you can practice, our Sunset Sect..." Lin Jie grinned, showing a proud look.
"Sunset Sect... this lineage has indeed not been extinguished, and it has actually raised two seedlings."
Suddenly, an old voice sounded on the mountain road.
Lin Jie changed his color slightly and looked up.
Not far away, an old man walked slowly. He was wearing a tattered Taoist robe, with a chest-length beard and pale hair. His cloudy eyes were shining brightly, staring straight at Lin Jie and Zhou Dao.
"Tsk tsk, what a good seedling."
Lin Jie felt alert and subconsciously took two steps back, blocking Zhou Dao and protecting him from behind.
"Who are you?"
"Hey, I'm a Taoist priest..." The old man raised his eyelids and grinned.
"The wandering Taoist priest."
"Sunset Sect...the incense of this lineage."
The old man sighed softly and walked straight towards the two of them.
"You want to do it..." Lin Jie's expression hardened and he shouted in a deep voice.
Pfft...
Before he finished speaking, his chest suddenly exploded, his heart shattered, and a hole appeared.
The young Zhou Dao looked through the hole in Lin Jie's body at the old man walking towards him, his eyes trembling and he almost lost control.
"Senior...brother..."
The childish cry rang out on the mountain road, and the grief was wrapped in deep fear.
"What...what is this? Why can't I remember anything?"
In the void, Zhou Dao looked at the light and shadow in front of him, as if he was in it.
That kind of fear, that kind of grief, that kind of despair filled my whole body.
However, in his memory, there was no such scene at all.
Plop...
Lin Jie fell in a pool of blood. He stared at the young Zhou Dao with wide eyes.
"run……"
As the words fell, a shadow came over him. Zhou Dao raised his head suddenly, and an old face came into view, like a dream demon, oppressing people's hearts and lingering.
"Can you run?"
The old man reached out his hand coldly and grabbed the two of them.
"you wanna die!"
Suddenly, a cold voice resounded throughout the world, revealing deep anger and murder.
Immediately afterwards, a ray of sword light came across the nine heavens, shooting through the mountains and rivers with terrifying power, and slashed straight at the old man.
"Li Zangfeng, you were also the chosen one."
The old man grinned, showing his yellow teeth. Facing the shocking sword, his tattered Taoist robes fluttered. He raised his hand and rolled it gently, shattering the sword's light.
"After all, it has the reputation of Jianzhu." The old man with yellow teeth sneered.
As soon as he pointed out, the earth cracked, and dozens of villages at the foot of the mountain were instantly reduced to ashes. The villagers gathered into a red thread while shouting, and wrapped around the man holding the sword above the nine heavens.
"What a pity. Among the ten seals of the Sunset Sect, the Desolate Sun Seal is said to be the most powerful in combat. If you practice this method, I will turn around and leave."
The color of the sky and the earth changed, blood flowed across the sky, countless innocent souls howled in the air, and the former senior brother fell in front of him...
The scenes were like the impact of a torrent. The young Zhou Dao held his head, his eyes were bleeding, and he screamed and passed out.
Suddenly, the severe pain and fear seemed to pass through the young body.
Dusty memories came to mind.
"His lifeline is broken. There is no other way but to practice the Tribulation Sun Seal."
"Xiao Zhoudao...he was too stimulated, maybe..."
"The people of the Sunset Sect are doomed to face many disasters, but we are never afraid."
"You should go back to the Demon Control Department. Once Lin Jie is sent away, it's time for me to leave. They will never find this place again."
In the void, Zhou Dao's face became extremely ferocious.
"The inner demon...is this the inner demon!?"
Zhou Dao roared angrily, with mana steaming all over his body, like Hunyuan refining magic and forging the universe.
"Jiutian Yuanshi is called the king, and I use my magical power to destroy the inner demons."
Suddenly, Zhou Dao's figure became extremely vast, filling the heaven and earth, encompassing the universe, everywhere, and infinite.
Such a terrifying aura instantly broke through the illusion of the heavens and the rolling river.
"This is……"
In the Xianke Building, the mysterious Aunt Yun suddenly stood up.
The black incense hanging above Zhou Dao's head suddenly turned into gold, shining like a divine light, transcending the mortal world!
"The inner demon has become a saint!?"
