Chapter 1146: The Buddha Against Me (Third Update, Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket)
In the Kunlun Mountain Yuxu Palace, Meng Qi sat on the cloud bed, surrounded by mist rising, as if leading to a desperate and depressing universe.
When he used the fragments of the Haotian Mirror to travel through the worlds, he discovered a strange thing in the old universe where he had left the Universal Symbol of the Worlds. The demon Buddha Ananda seemed to have a remnant of his "other self" there: Tathagata's reverse palm mustache!
What this meant was self-evident. Meng Qi exclaimed and then started an investigation, fearing that the demon Buddha had quietly escaped!
The old universe is different from the general universe. Its essence is close to the real world, just like the world in the thirty-six ancient wells outside the Jade Void Palace. The strength of the six demon gods is comparable to or only slightly inferior to the original creator Brahma, which is slightly equal to the legendary level. Even the core of chaos, the one who returns all things to one, and the dark mother goddess have the characteristics of the other side, which is very difficult to deal with. More importantly, they seem to be the "negative projections" of some other side people and great supernatural powers, full of chaos, killing and madness, indescribable, rendering that universe into a truly desperate and oppressive world. Once an outsider enters, it is easy to cause unnecessary trouble.
Besides, the demon god "core of chaos" is likely to be the "evil self" of Yuanshi Tianzun. Even if he has never been rational, he must have an instinctive desire for the "cause of all fruits". If he descends to investigate, he is likely to be coveted by him, which is quite dangerous.
Therefore, Meng Qi used a roundabout way to investigate. On the surface, he asked the ordinary human incarnation of the "Faceless Pharaoh" who had cooperated with him before to fake his death, attracting the attention of the demons and making them think that the focus was on the actions of the "Faceless Pharaoh". In fact, he created the "Eye of Wishes" to complete the task and satisfy the wishes of the law of cause and effect to drive Gu Liang to investigate the anti-Buddhism.
The strategy is simple, but the other crazy and chaotic demons other than the "Faceless Pharaoh" rarely use their brains to think, so it is enough to deceive them. As for the evil wise man, the Lord of the Gate of Ten Thousand Doors and the Time and Space Labyrinth, he is Meng Qi's projection image, so there is no need to consider it.
——The "Ten Thousand Worlds General Knowledge Talisman" that was invested before was picked up by the human incarnation of the "Faceless Pharaoh". The cooperation between the two sides was quite pleasant. With his help, Meng Qi successfully established the image of the Gate of Ten Thousand Doors leading to countless time and space, and was said to be one of the seven demons. He was gradually adjusting this image to make "it" close to the other-self imprint of the demon Buddha, but before he actually took action, he discovered the existence of the "Tathagata Reverse Palm".
Of course, even the most pleasant cooperation has contradictions. The human incarnation of the "Faceless Pharaoh" really likes to cheat. He always sells fake goods in the Wanjie Mall or conducts fraud through various communication groups. As a result, he was killed by the Heavenly Punishment System many times, but he was revived alive and kicking afterwards until his account was blocked by Meng Qi.
The condition for this cooperation is to unblock the account!
If he dares to cheat again, Meng Qi will never show mercy!
After Gu Liang's investigation, Meng Qi roughly figured out the whole story. After the seal was loosened, the Demon Buddha not only "fished" himself in order to escape, but also tried to create a new "himself" to leave a way out and escape. So three hundred years ago, there was the "Tathagata's Reverse Palm" mustache incident, the destruction of Buddhism, the regression of Far Eastern civilization, and the direct use of "Ten Thousand Buddhas Falling Together" to make the Supreme God of the old universe fall and become a new demon god, suspected of arranging a certain existence through projection.
Unfortunately, due to the existence of the Buddha's seal, "Rulai's Reverse Palm" has never been able to become the actual demon Buddha "Other Self". After more than two hundred years of continuous re-creation and the establishment of Reverse Buddhism, it slowly began to take shape. However, at this time, the demon Buddha was destroyed by Meng Qi, revealing the power of the seal, and the action of creating "Other Self" came to an abrupt end, which is the real reason why "Reverse Buddha" stopped responding to prayers decades ago.
According to the previous oracle of "Reverse Buddha", Reverse Buddhism has been working hard for decades to try to "resurrect" Him, and has a nearly completed "Red and Black Reverse Swastika", which is a bargain for Meng Qi. Once his "Gate of Ten Thousand Doors" devours this mark, it can immediately transform into a real "Other Self Mark" without any further adjustments, which is equivalent to receiving the efforts of the demon Buddha for three hundred years.
Things went smoothly. Gu Liang sneaked into Villa No. 9. When the attention of the demon gods was diverted by the "Faceless Pharaoh", he successfully approached the altar, causing Meng Qi's image of the Gate of Ten Thousand Doors, which was between illusion and reality, to suddenly attack and swallow the red and black reverse swastika, completing the transformation.
The coachman who took Gu Liang to New Scotland Yard looked like an ordinary person who still had faith in God, but he was actually the spying tentacles of the fallen God on the police department. If it weren't for the power of the Eye of Wishes that made Gu Liang ignored, he would have become a mummy.
…………
The carriage drove through the street, and Gu Liang looked at the pedestrians outside the window with a heavy heart. Some of them were in suits and shirts, some in long gowns and jackets, some in gauze hats and long skirts, and some with their skirts lifted. Each of them had its own charm and was full of the atmosphere of the times.
Not long after, a restaurant arrived. As soon as Gu Liang got off the carriage, he saw an acquaintance. He rode a motorcycle and approached.
"Gu Liang, it's been a long time since you left. It's been almost a year since you became a regular employee, but you disappeared without a trace." The acquaintance was called Chen Yu, a classmate of Gu Liang in the police academy. At that time, they had a good relationship, but after a series of things happened, Gu Liang had no energy to contact his classmates, and the friendship gradually faded.
Gu Liang suppressed his worried expression and forced a smile, "Ayu, are you assigned to the patrol department? New Scotland Yard, or the regional one?"
The Far East Region includes thirteen provinces and seven special regions. The most desired thing for police academy students is to stay in the headquarters, New Scotland Yard, or now this city, and they don’t want to be assigned to other regions or provinces. At the beginning, Gu Liang was selected by New Scotland Yard to become a trainee police officer because of his excellent grades in all subjects except shooting. Chen Yu was also selected, but he belonged to a different department.
"Alas, I was demoted by the patrol department and became a small leader in the patrol room of Yanghe District." Chen Yu deliberately lamented, showing off.
"Is that so?" Gu Liang said casually, his mind was not here at all.
Chen Yu coughed and touched the epaulettes with his right hand. There were already two sword-shaped signs there, indicating that he was already a senior police officer.
This was the anniversary gathering of the police academy classmates who stayed in New Scotland Yard or the city police department. Gu Liang chose to attend with the idea of relaxing.
Seeing Chen Yu's performance, Gu Liang wanted to laugh for some reason: "Amazing, he was promoted after only one year in the police force!"
"No, no, I just made a small contribution." Chen Yu smiled complacently, and then lowered his voice, "I heard that Hong Wanzhang relied on his father, a police superintendent, to make a lot of contributions. Now he is the chief of the Criminal Investigation Department. Tsk tsk, it's better to be reborn."
"This kind of thing can't be compared." Gu Liang smiled slightly. If it were the old me, I would definitely be unhappy, but now...
Chen Yu parked and locked the motorcycle, and went to the restaurant with Gu Liang. At this time, many classmates and colleagues had arrived, both men and women. A few of them wore shoulder straps, indicating that they had become high-ranking police officers, and they were talking happily.
"Gu Liang, you have disappeared for a year. Do you look down on us classmates?" A female colleague who was assigned to the Personnel Department of the Administrative Support Department stood up and called us, smiling warmly, without any blame, but more flattering.
The other students didn't get the meaning, and followed suit: "That's right! Gu Liang, tell me where you've been for a year? If it weren't for Fang Yu's insistence, we would have found you, and we wouldn't have wanted to invite you."
"I joined the big case team, and I've been busy for the past year." Gu Liang said truthfully.
At this time, a slightly fat man shook his finger and said: "Oh, our classmate is a talent. He can join the big case team just after he became a regular employee. Did he make a lot of contributions and get promoted a lot?"
He wore the shoulder straps of the police chief, and as soon as he finished speaking, there were bursts of laughter.
Fang Yu from the Personnel Department changed his face slightly, and hurriedly said: "Gu Liang is right. He has been busy with big cases in the past year. He has been promoted to a high-level inspector a long time ago. He should be a senior inspector now, right?"
She looked at Gu Liang uncertainly.
Senior inspector? Hong Wanzhang, Chen Yu and others were shocked.
What is the concept of a senior inspector? It belongs to the middle level of the police force!
Many police officers have worked their whole lives to become inspectors.
It's only been a year, and Gu Liang has become a senior inspector?
Gu Liang seemed to have finally regained his human interest. He smiled and took out his epaulettes. There was no star emblem symbolizing the inspector on it, but a crown and police number.
Crown? Hong Wanzhang stood up suddenly. He was very familiar with this type of epaulette because his father often wore it.
This is a police superintendent!
In just one year, Gu Liang became a police superintendent?
Even Fang Yu did not expect this result and was stunned for a moment.
Gu Liang smiled, found an empty seat and sat down, and slowly said: "That case is very big."
The gazes of classmates are really good!
It feels similar to the feeling of cultivating a small universe.
…………
After the party, with the warm greetings of classmates and colleagues, Gu Liang got on the carriage and drove away with a comfortable smile on his face.
When he returned to the villa, he saw two armored knights coming up to him and bowing respectfully:
"Meet the leader."
Gu Liang touched his forehead and sighed, "Step down."
After that incident, in addition to being a police inspector of the Special Operations Division, he was also the leader of the Anti-Buddhism...
Walking through the iron gate, entering the villa, and climbing onto the terrace, Gu Liang looked down at the garden and lawn with a glass of red wine in his hand.
There was a group of Anti-Buddhists dancing the devilish seventh set of radio gymnastics, without the previous cruelty and bloodiness. On the other side, the aunts and ladies in the church were dancing to the strange music played by the record player, very rhythmically.
"You are my little apple..."
When the song sounded, Gu Liang couldn't help but cover his face with his hands, and sighed in his heart:
I am a good police inspector, worshipped by my classmates, how could I become the leader of a cult?
It's okay to become the leader of a cult, but it's such a ridiculous cult!
What does the Gate of Ten Thousand Doors want to do? It actually changed the Anti-Buddhism into such a non-lethal organization!
Gu Liang thought that he would have to organize them day after day and spread the message throughout the Far East, and he felt that his life was extremely bleak.
Fortunately, there was the comfort of the small universe...
…………
The "other self" that was combined with the Ni Buddha and the Gate of Ten Thousand Doors returned to its original position, and Meng Qi was surrounded by darkness, and continued to wander in his mind.
