Chapter 567 "Diary of an Ascetic Monk"
Song Shuhang's spirit ghost has returned to the mid-level level, and it has a rune core in its body, which is something only upper-level spirit ghosts can possess. With these core runes, Shuhang's spirit ghosts have a very small chance of evolving into upper-level spirit ghosts!
Intermediate spirit ghosts have good intelligence, while upper-level spirit ghosts are not weaker than humans in terms of intelligence. They can practice faster than ordinary cultivators, and they can also practice some ghost magic.
Ever since Song Shuhang completed the 'synchronization' with the spirit ghost, the spirit ghost has been slowly evolving into an upper-level spirit ghost.
Although it is still an intermediate spirit ghost, it already has very high intelligence.
…
…
The foreign monk didn't notice at all that he was on the verge of life and death, and continued to ask: "My benefactor, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"
If a monk as powerful as his benefactor turned into a ghost, he must have some resentment or some unfulfilled wish?
If the benefactor has any unfulfilled wish, the foreign monk feels it is his responsibility to fulfill the benefactor's wish!
There is no way to repay the kindness of saving a life. What's more, the other party saved him twice!
Spirit ghost: "..."
The foreign monk waited for a moment and saw that his 'benefactor' remained silent. He said doubtfully: "My benefactor, if you have any wishes, you can tell me and I will definitely fulfill it for you!"
Spirit ghost: "..."
"My benefactor, please speak." The foreign monk said, and suddenly something moved in his mind. Could it be that my benefactor had some unfulfilled wish, but simply that he had not been saved?
This is also a normal thing. After powerful monks die unexpectedly, because of their strong spiritual power, their souls can easily turn into ghosts and wander around.
The ghost of his benefactor came all the way to find him... Could it be that he wanted his help to save him?
"I understand, my benefactor. I will definitely save your ghost with the most solemn ceremony! Now I will recite the Buddhist scriptures silently three hundred times to warm myself up, and then my benefactor will find a place to land, and I will prepare for your benefactor's salvation. Ceremony!" the foreign monk said seriously.
As he spoke, he began to recite Buddhist scriptures silently. I don’t know what Buddhist scriptures he is memorizing... It seems that he is carrying them on his back, with a few sentences in English or Sanskrit.
this moment,
Ling Gui really had the urge to throw the foreign monk from the air.
It's not that it doesn't speak, it just can't speak!
Soon, the foreign monk had recited the Buddhist scriptures. He only waited for the three hundred times of reciting Buddhist sutras to be completed before preparing a ceremony for the salvation of the spirit ghosts.
The corner of Ling Gui's mouth twitched, and he reached out and threw the foreign monk high into the air.
"Huh? My benefactor!!" The foreign monk shouted, mid-air, he is in mid-air now, a hundred meters above the ground!
He doesn't have a flying magic weapon, and he can't fly. Even a second-grade monk would fall into pieces if he fell from such a high place. Infuriating body protection is useless!
In mid-air, the foreign monk panicked: "My dear, did I say the wrong thing? Ahhhh!"
At this time, the spirit ghost flew under him and reached out to catch him.
"My benefactor!" The foreign monk burst into tears.
But the next moment, the spirit ghost swung him again, throwing him off the target again, which was the top of a thirty-story building.
The spirit ghost didn't mean to take revenge on purpose. It had dragged the cumbersome foreign monk flying for so long, and it couldn't hold it any longer.
A second-grade spirit ghost has limited physical strength.
He grabbed the foreign monk and flew at a speed close to that of a fourth-grade monk. He had been flying for so long, almost reaching his limit.
If he didn't land, the foreign monk would really fall from the sky and die.
…
…
boom!
The foreign monk landed smoothly, but was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
At this time, the spirit ghost floated in front of him, stretched out his hand, and pointed his palm at the foreign monk.
The foreign monk looked at Ling Gui's hand in confusion, then he stretched out his hand and faced Ling Gui's palm.
The spirit ghost exchanged palms with him, and the relationship between the two parties was established.
The next moment, a voice sounded in the mind of the foreign monk: "My body is not dead yet." I am a spirit ghost, a spirit ghost! ]
The foreign monk suddenly felt embarrassed.
It's a spirit ghost!
Although the foreign monk has never seen a spirit ghost, he has heard about spirit ghosts, which are plug-ins that monks dream of. Even low-level spirit ghosts can double the speed of a monk's cultivation. Having a spirit ghost is equivalent to having one more mobile power bank than other monks, and the power lasts longer. With spirit ghosts, you no longer have to worry about protracted battles.
But in front of me, my benefactor's spirit ghost was so dexterous, and his behavior was almost the same as that of a human being. Is this at least an intermediate-level spirit ghost or above?
"Hahahaha, it turns out to be a spirit ghost. Let me tell you, with my benefactor's strong cultivation, how can he lose his shit so easily? Hahahahaha." The foreign monk used a silly smile to cover up his embarrassment.
Then, he changed the subject dryly: "My dear friend, do you have anything to do with me?"
The spirit ghost sat up straight: "I came here to ask you for advice on how to transcend the souls of the dead." ]
"The method of salvation? Is my benefactor also interested in this?" The foreign monk's eyes suddenly lit up. Then he dug into his monk's robe and took out an old yellow book.
Although the method of salvation is very precious, it is not worth the two life-saving graces given by my benefactor.
The foreign monk carefully handed this old yellow book to the spirit ghost: "My dear benefactor, this is the method of salvation that I have obtained. I will practice according to the content in it, and then I will give you the method of 'transferring the souls of the dead'. Got it. Oh, by the way, it has to be matched with this."
As the foreign monk spoke, he took out another copy of the "Ksitigarbha Soul Crossing Sutra" and said, "By combining these two, we can save all kinds of dead souls!"
Ling Gui nodded secretly, then reached out and opened the "Ksitigarbha Soul Crossing Sutra".
At the beginning of the volume, there is a note written by a foreign monk: Only when all sentient beings are saved can Bodhi be realized. Until the hell is empty, I swear that I will never become a Buddha.
The spirit ghost quickly flipped through the "Ksitigarbha Soul Crossing Sutra". This should be a secret scripture of a certain Buddhist sect, and the content is very profound. Just reading the scriptures can lead to spiritual fluctuations between heaven and earth.
I don’t know how the foreign monk got it.
So, the spirit ghost turned the scriptures from beginning to end and kept the above contents in mind. It has an intuition that this volume of "Ksitigarbha Soul Crossing Sutra" will be of great use one day.
After memorizing the "Ksitigarbha Soul Crossing Sutra", Ling Gui opened the foreign monk's old yellowed book again.
It's a book...it looks more like an ordinary notepad.
After opening it, Ling Gui saw a few small words on it.
"Diary of an Ascetic Monk"
Spirit ghost: "..."
It looked up at the foreign monk. Did this guy really understand the 'method of transcending the souls of the dead' from this thing?
Ling Gui opened the diary with hesitation.
The diary was not written by the ascetic monk, but by a bystander, recording the ascetic process of an eminent monk.
The eminent monk in the diary has a bald head, wears thin linen clothes, and walks barefoot. The body is thin, but the eyes are bright and full of essence, energy and spirit.
The diary is very cumbersome, and many chapters repeatedly describe the process of the eminent monk's asceticism.
For example, the eminent monk walked in the ice and snow without eating or drinking for dozens of days. I wrote five or six articles on this content.
For example, the eminent monk is walking in the sharp stone forest, stepping on the sharp stones with his bare feet, and sleeping in the open air. There are also five articles in this content.
Among them, some eminent monks encountered some monsters and fought in the process. But this interesting process was easily passed over by the diary describer.
The author of the diary repeatedly wrote about the suffering process of the eminent monk, describing his hunger, pain, cold, thirst...
I don't know if it was Ling Gui's illusion. As Ling Gui read it, he actually read the pleasure contained in the author's words from this diary.
Damn it, the author of this diary must be a jerk. He watched the eminent monk suffer, and then he became excited.
Flipping through the pages, the thin diary was soon halfway through.
The diary records that the eminent monk entered a terrifying jungle filled with various poisonous insects. On the first day the monk entered the jungle, he was poisoned and almost died.
The diary uses various colorful words to describe in detail the poisoned state of this eminent monk, including his purple lips, black and blue face, violent breathing, painful vaginal discharge, and desperately clawing at the ground with his fingers.
The author of the diary was indeed taking pleasure from the suffering of this eminent monk.
[Is this really a diary? ] The spirit ghost has begun to doubt.
It's wondering if this is something like a 'novel' written by an ancient person? The author satisfies the dark desires in his heart by describing the detailed process of the suffering of an eminent monk?
And...from what angle did the foreign monk read this book and then understand the 'method of salvation' from it?
Ling Gui looked up at Monk Yang again, only to see him looking at him expectantly.
Moreover, when the foreign monk glanced at the yellowed old diary, he seemed to be looking at a priceless treasure, and he was afraid that the spirit ghost's hand would use too much force to turn the pages and tear the yellowed diary.
Spirit ghost: "..."
So, it patiently continued to flip through the diary.
The eminent monk in the diary narrowly escaped death after being poisoned, but in the end he overcame the poison with strong willpower and regained his vitality!
Get over your sister! Is something like poison something that can be overcome with willpower? Will it kill me to write about the process of detoxification?
Ling Gui flipped through the book faster.
The ascetic monks climbed mountains, crossed swamps, walked across deserts and swam across the sea barefoot. We have experienced storms, been struck by lightning, sailed through seas of fire, and been buried alive by sandstorms.
His experience was Spartan!
After turning over and over, Ling Gui suddenly felt something in his heart.
He thought of the movement technique "A Gentleman Travels Ten Thousand Miles".
Although I really don't want to admit it, I always feel that the ascetic method of the eminent monk in this diary is very suitable for the original "A Gentleman's Journey"!
One is the Buddhist method of asceticism, and the other is the Confucian method of thousands of miles, but they have something in common.
Maybe when I have time, I can take a quick trip.
Without bringing any dry food or water, he traveled through mountains and rivers, ate in the open air, and slept in the open like the ascetic monk in the diary. Climb mountains, cross deserts, cross swamps, and swim in the sea. Experience storms and thunder, sandstorms and tsunamis...
Then, just like this ascetic, after finishing the journey of thousands of miles, the whole person has been sublimated. This is also a very good way of practice, right?
Just as he was thinking this, Ling Gui finally turned to the last page of "Diary of an Ascetic Monk".
The last page of the diary is very short.
[Finally, he died...
Even the bones rotted in the soil.
He used his own life as the end of his asceticism.
His soul has been sublimated! This is the best penance! ]
Spirit ghost: "..."
At this moment, it felt the urge to tear the book apart.
‘In the end, he died…’ by Shen Tema.
He actually died!
Can we still chat happily?
It’s still the same question: how did the foreign monks understand the method of ‘transcending the souls of the dead’?
The spirit ghost closed the "Diary of the Ascetic Monk", twitched the corners of his mouth, and handed it back to the foreign monk.
"My benefactor, have you gained anything?" The foreign monk carefully put away the "Diary of an Ascetic Monk" and asked expectantly.
"..." The spirit ghost opened the door and entered the mountain and asked directly: "I want to know how you learned the method of salvation from this diary?"
"Hey, my benefactor, after reading this diary, aren't you moved?" The foreign monk asked in surprise: "My benefactor, don't you realize that such an ascetic monk is worthy of admiration? I saw it at the end At that time, the idea of blessing this ascetic monk came into my heart.
When such a thought came to my mind, the ascetic life of the eminent monk in the diary flashed through my mind like a movie. Then, I learned the method of transcending the souls of the dead from this ascetic monk. "
The foreign monk replied seriously.
This is simply like "When I was doing a math problem today, I suddenly felt moved in my heart. I thought of the Pythagorean Theorem, and I thought of the shape of a triangle from the Pythagorean Theorem." Then, I learned a unique magical skill, the "Triangle Divine Fist". ]
The spirit ghost sighed faintly.
It seems that it is unrealistic for me to understand the method of 'transcending the souls of the dead' from this "Diary of an Ascetic Monk".
There is no other way to go.
Why don't you go home soon and go to the 'Jiuzhou No. 1 Group' to ask the seniors. There must be someone among the seniors who knows the ‘method of salvation’.
Thinking of this, Ling Gui was about to say goodbye to the foreign monk and go home, just in time to meet Yu Jiaojiao.
＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
Bishui Pavilion, Time City.
Song Shuhang has been in a coma since the spirit ghost left the Bishui Pavilion and has been in a coma until now.
In Time City, Song Shuhang had been in a coma for five days.
While the spirit ghost was reciting the "Diary of an Ascetic Monk", ten wounds suddenly opened on Song Shuhang's back.
Blood spurted out, instantly dyeing the new clothes red... These new clothes were just put on by Senior Sister Ye after he fell into coma.
Song Shuhang, who was in a coma, suddenly opened his eyes. Runes flew out of his eyes, and the runes disappeared into the void.
After a while, the rune returned from the void and returned to Song Shuhang's eyes.
