Chapter 1567: Lonely Sun Continent
"Our village is called Shuiniu Village, and the mountain is called Jinxia Mountain. Every September 9th, golden rays of light appear on Jinxia Mountain. I heard there are immortals there?" A child seemed to be the bravest among the children. He spoke up and talked a lot.
Xiao Lin was slightly stunned when he heard this. Golden rays of light? Could it be that there are immortals on Jinxia Mountain?
This also made Xiao Lin a little interested. Then Xiao Lin sensed that there were several people running towards this side in the distance. I think they were the adults of these children's families. Xiao Lin didn't want to meet those adults. He called Xiao Hei through his spiritual sense. Xiao Hei immediately rolled up a black light and took Xiao Lin to the sky. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace.
Several children immediately stared at the void in a daze. After a long time, a voice came out: "Are they immortals?"
"There really are immortals. When I grow up, I want to be an immortal."
At this moment, Xiao Lin and Xiao Hei have flown hundreds of miles and appeared in the void dozens of miles in front of a mountain.
Looking at the mountain in front of him, Xiao Lin was slightly stunned, because there was a stone path from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, with thousands of steps, and at the end of the path, there were rows of magnificent temples.
It was already sunset, and the sound of chanting from the temple could still be heard, and Xiao Lin could also smell the rich scent of sandalwood.
"There is a Buddhist temple here?"
"Could this be the Lonely Sun Continent?" Xiao Lin thought of a possibility. He had read in an ancient book in Mitian Palace that to the west of the Holy Moon Continent, if you cross the boundless and ferocious ocean, you can reach a new continent, the Lonely Sun Continent. It is rumored that on this Lonely Sun Continent, Buddhism is flourishing and there are many powerful Buddhists.
If the area where he is in front of him is really the Lonely Sun Continent, then it will be troublesome. With his current situation, let alone losing all his mana, even if his mana is restored, it is more likely to be dangerous to cross the ferocious ocean.
However, Xiao Lin knew from his elder brother Huan Tianmou that he could return to the Holy Moon Continent through the super cross-domain teleportation array in the Immortal Sea, but Xiao Lin did not know where the super cross-domain teleportation array on the Holy Moon Continent was, and Huan Tianmou had never told him that year.
"Golden Light Meditation?" Xiao Lin suddenly thought of the last four words left by Chu Wu in that ancient book of experience. These four words seemed to be the key to breaking through the super first-grade realm.
Xiao Lin had originally thought of the Buddhist sect from these four words, but in the cave, he had not thought that the four words left by Chu Wu would be related to the Buddhist sect. It was just that he was teleported here through the teleportation sphere and encountered the Buddhist sect again. Everything seemed to fit together. The golden light meditation mentioned by Chu Wu might be the secret technique of the Buddhist sect.
"Does it need to practice this golden light meditation to truly complete the fusion of the blood sea and the heart and advance to the super-first-grade realm?" Xiao Lin's heart was hot. Now that he had a clue, he would find a way to get the practice method of this golden light meditation first.
But Xiao Lin was also a little worried. When he was in the mortal world, he and the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong destroyed the Xiji Ancient Buddha Tianzong together. It can be said that it was the life and death enemy of the Buddhist sect. I don't know if there are any survivors of the Buddhist sect back then. If they also ascended to this lonely sun continent, I am afraid it will be very troublesome for me to meet them.
"Since I'm here, I'll make the best of it." Xiao Lin's state of mind has changed a lot. The way of cultivation of the Buddhist sect is to spread the power of faith, and then collect the power of the devout faith of believers to strengthen their own souls.
This practice is actually a kind of plunder of mortals. After ten days, many mortals will lose themselves and their original intentions, and become a state where they only know how to seek help from Buddha without thinking about making progress. At the same time, it will greatly weaken their own soul power. In the end, even after death, the soul cannot re-enter the cycle of reincarnation.
This is why Xiao Lin has no good feelings for Buddhism.
But the magical powers of the Buddhist sect are extraordinary. All kinds of magical powers and secrets have great power. When Xiao Lin dealt with the ancient Buddha Tianzong of the West, he had experienced all kinds of magical powers of the Buddhist sect, which left a deep impression on him.
Xiao Lin naturally did not have the idea of worshipping Buddhism. Instead, after thinking for a while, he let Xiao Hei enter the beast ring, and he landed at the foot of the mountain and walked towards the Buddhist temple on the top of the mountain as a mortal.
Buddhist practitioners should not be underestimated. Although gathering the power of faith to strengthen the soul is not as good as the Bu Tian Jing that Xiao Lin practiced, it is also one of the few cultivation methods in the world that can strengthen the soul.
So Xiao Lin did not dare to use his huge spiritual power to explore the truth in the temple, but went there as a pilgrim.
Along the way, there were many good men and women coming from all over the place. They were all pious and went to the mountain. There were even many devout believers who knelt every three steps and knocked their heads every nine steps. Even if their foreheads were bleeding, they were unaware of it and still went to the mountain with a firm look in their eyes.
Seeing this, Xiao Lin also shook his head secretly. The world is unkind and treats all things as straw dogs. Since there is no major conflict of interest between immortal cultivators and ordinary mortals, and most of them are born from mortals, they will not only not harm mortals, but most of them will also slay demons and protect ordinary mortals in the name of acting on behalf of heaven.
But Xiao Lin also understood that immortal cultivators were not kind people. In order to improve their cultivation, they would hunt monsters. In the process, they not only improved their combat experience, but also obtained various alchemy and weapon refining materials from the monsters.
In the final analysis, it was also driven by interests.
As for the Demonic Path and the Buddhist Sect, the same is true. In order to practice magic skills, the Demonic Path monks need to devour the souls and blood essence of mortals, or use the souls of mortals to sacrifice the magic tools. The Buddhist Sect is relatively secretive and gentle. It preaches Buddhism and teaches people to be kind. In fact, it controls believers through these doctrines and collects the power of faith of believers.
After collecting enough power of faith, the Buddhist monks can not only strengthen their own souls and practice the Buddha light to protect their bodies, but also use the powerful souls to perform various Buddhist and Taoist magical powers.
However, this practice of collecting the power of faith is extremely harmful to ordinary people. Those who are too pious may even run out of soul power. When their lifespan is exhausted, it is also the day when they disappear.
Although there are not many such people, the number of mortals they harm is only slightly less than that of the Demonic Path.
Xiao Lin had no good feelings towards Buddhist monks, but he was very interested in some of their magical powers. Three thousand great ways all lead to the path of immortality. Xiao Lin was not opposed to the many cultivation methods that remained in the world, and he also wanted to learn from the strengths of all schools to improve his own realm and understanding of the origin of this world.
While thinking, two hours passed before Xiao Lin followed many devout pilgrims into the temple.
There were quite a few monks in the temple, coming and going in a hurry. Xiao Lin could see from a glance that these monks were not at a high level, most of them were at the initial stage of acquaintance, and only the leading few barely advanced to the great awakening, which was equivalent to the foundation-building stage of the cultivation world.
For Xiao Lin, it was not worth mentioning.
Xiao Lin followed the crowd and walked around the huge temple intentionally or unintentionally. What disappointed him was that even the abbot of this temple was only at the Buddha Light Realm. This made Xiao Lin no longer have any scruples. The huge power of consciousness instantly spread out and covered the entire Buddhist temple in the blink of an eye.
Everything in the Buddhist temple appeared in Xiao Lin's mind without hiding.
As expected by Xiao Lin, the highest realm in this Jinxia Temple was the abbot and the two white-haired elders, all of whom were in the early stage of the Buddha Light Realm. Naturally, this realm could not sense Xiao Lin's consciousness, and naturally could not discover Xiao Lin's existence.
After understanding this, Xiao Lin was also a little disappointed. Could it be that the land under his feet was not the Lonely Sun Continent? The real Lonely Sun Continent was rumored to be a paradise for Buddhist practitioners, with eminent monks everywhere, Bodhi Arhats everywhere, and Buddhas everywhere.
But Xiao Lin did not intend to leave, but disappeared without a trace after a flash of his figure.
In a secluded Zen room, an old monk was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, holding a string of red sandalwood Buddhist beads in his mouth and chanting Buddhist scriptures.
After a while, the old monk seemed to sense something, and suddenly opened his eyes, seeing a young man in his twenties looking at him with a smile.
The old monk was shocked, but his face remained calm. He put his hands together and chanted a Buddhist name: "Who is the donor? If you want to burn incense and pray, please go to the incense burner outside."
"Old monk, I came here not to offer you the power of faith, but to ask you a few questions. As long as you answer truthfully, I will leave on my own afterwards and will not be your enemy." The person who came was Xiao Lin, and his words were full of cold wind. Obviously, if the old monk in front of him did not cooperate, Xiao Lin would have to use some means.
The old monk was not stupid. The newcomer was able to enter his meditation room silently, and he could not sense the realm of this person at all. In other words, this person's true realm was probably unfathomable. Even if all the Buddhist practitioners in the entire Jinxia Temple came, they would not be able to defeat this person.
"What's the matter, donor? Just tell me. As long as I know, I will tell you the truth." The old monk was also a sensible person. After weighing the situation, he immediately became honest.
"Old monk, where is this place?"
"This is Jinxia Temple on Jinxia Mountain. I am Yuankong."
"I am not asking you this, but what region does this Jinxia Temple on Jinxia Mountain belong to? What is the name of this continent?" Xiao Lin's face condensed, and he asked, with a bit of impatience and coldness in his voice.
"Don't blame me, my talent is dull and I didn't understand your intention. This is the Golden Light Region. The Golden Light Region is located in the boundless ocean in the southeast corner of the Lonely Sun Continent. It is an isolated region. The Buddha's light of our Buddhist sect only illuminates a small part of the Golden Light Region. Most of the region is still controlled by the Wu Man people."
"Wu Man people?" Xiao Lin also heard this name for the first time, but from the words of the old monk in front of him, he knew that the Wu Man people must be the mortal enemy of the Buddhist monks, and the two must be in a state of fire and water.
"Wu Man people are a race?" Xiao Lin thought about it for a while and asked.
The old monk was stunned when he heard it, and then showed a look of realization: "Donor, are you not from the Golden Light Region and traveled here by chance? But as long as you are from the Lonely Sun Continent, I am afraid you all know Wu Man."
Seeing the impatience on Xiao Lin's face, Monk Yuankong immediately began to introduce Xiao Lin.
It turns out that the Wuman people are a race. It is rumored that they are the descendants of the Wu clan and ferocious beasts. They are savage and murderous by nature, and their bodies are very strong. An adult Wuman can even easily smash a hill with one punch. Moreover, the Wuman people have inherited the blood of ferocious beasts and possess various magical powers of ancient ferocious beasts. Of course, not every Wuman person has this magical power. Only a small number of Wuman people who have awakened the blood of ancient ferocious beasts can unlock this talent.
Because the Wu barbarians are not educated and have always believed in their own fists and do not believe in Buddhism. They are also bloodthirsty and like to harm living beings. The Buddhist sect launched an attack on the Wu barbarians in line with the purpose of subduing and eliminating demons. The purpose is to protect many believers in Buddhism.
When Xiao Lin heard this, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart. If it were another person, he might be really influenced by what the sanctimonious old monk said, but Xiao Lin had dealt with the Buddha in the mortal world, so he naturally knew what the old monk said. The most fundamental reason why the Wu barbarians were strangled by the Buddhist sect was that they did not respect religion and did not want to believe in the Buddhist sect.
"Let me know what other forces there are in Lone Sun Continent." Xiao Lin arrived here for the first time, and still wanted to understand some of the divisions of forces in Lone Sun Continent, so that he could have an idea.
Unexpectedly, when the old monk heard this, he showed a bitter smile and said: "The donor thinks too highly of me. The Guri Continent is vast, has many races, and the various forces are complicated. The Jinxia Temple that I control is just a golden light." It is a small temple in a remote place in the region. I have spent most of my life and have never traveled all over the Golden Light Territory. How can I talk about the Lonely Sun Continent, which is many times bigger? But I do know one thing. The Lonely Sun Continent is very popular. , there are various huge Buddhist and Taoist sects everywhere, and there are countless Buddhist masters, but I have no chance to go there in this life. "
Xiao Lin heard what Yuan Kong said and knew that what he said was not a lie. Moreover, what he heard was not a secret, and there was no need to lie.
This made Xiao Lin a little disappointed, because he didn't get what he wanted to know, but it wasn't that he got nothing. At least he finally knew where he was, which was the rumored Buddhist holy land - Guri Continent. .
Xiao Lin couldn't help but feel bitter. It seemed that the way home was still far away.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin waved his sleeves, and the huge power of spiritual consciousness poured directly into the sea of consciousness between the eyes of the old monk in front of him, directly erasing his recent memory. When he wakes up tomorrow, Monk Yuankong will only think that I fell asleep while chanting sutras by myself.
As for the traces of Xiao Lin, with a flash of black light, he and Xiao Hei disappeared without a trace. ()
