Chapter 1244: The Buddha in His Time
The turbid eyes of the Asura Ancestor narrowed slightly, and he looked at Meng Qi and said:
"The feeling of Huangquan..."
Before he finished speaking, he raised his right hand and dragged out a dark red and almost black blade light. The whole Buddhist hall immediately rang with miserable howls, disturbing people's minds and destroying people's hideousness. The void floated, and countless bodies loomed and surged with the blade light.
In one knife, the creatures killed by the Asura Ancestor seemed to reappear one by one!
At the beginning of the world, the Nine Netherworld was born, and the Asura Ancestor appeared. From then on, he kept fighting and killing. Until now, the number of souls under his command can be imagined. The condensed terrifying murderous aura and cruelty can make the gods lose their fighting spirit and let him slaughter them.
Facing the instantaneous blade light and hearing the screams, Meng Qi's smile remained unchanged. He bent his fingers and flicked them lightly.
Suddenly, a blood-brown and turbid sword energy shot out, like a miniature of the Yellow Spring, with countless eternally doomed resentful spirits floating inside, all making shrill ghost cries and soul sobs, which were not inferior to the howling of the sword light.
Crash!
The rolling Yellow Spring opposite the blue-gray stone temple surged with waves and raging waves, and the fallen ghosts that had accumulated since their birth roared and screamed, shaking both sides.
The sword energy resisted the sword light, and the blood-brown washed away the memories of the dead souls and drowned the broken arms and limbs, while the ghost cries and screams neutralized, and the Buddhist hall was quiet.
Silently, the blood-brown and turbid sword energy and the dark red and almost black sword light offset each other, and there was no trace, only a little ripple swaying in the void.
But at the moment of the collision, in the Asura tribe at the other end of the wasteland, Bran's ears suddenly hurt, as if her head was being stabbed by a blunt knife, going straight into her soul. The pain made her completely lose control, her legs weakened, she fell to the ground, covering her head and rolling around. All the Asuras around her were in such pain. The evil dragon flying over the wasteland fell straight down, creating a tiankeng, and strange-looking demon birds fell like rain.
Neither the Asura Ancestor nor Meng Qi launched a follow-up attack. They faced each other quietly, bathing in the green light. The previous collision seemed to be just an illusion.
"The only person who can cultivate this level of Huangquan power, apart from those old guys who may have cut out clones and tried to control Huangquan, is probably the hero who created the original magic in the real world." The Asura Ancestor said in a low and slow voice, "You think it is the Huangquan True Body that he cut out."
At this point, He laughed at himself: "I have sealed myself for too long and have been silent for many years. I really don't know much about the current situation in the real world. Maybe there are other up-and-coming people who have proved the 'Huangquan True Body' and pushed it to this level."
Meng Qi took a step forward with his hands behind his back, and the dim light reflected the mottled light, and smiled slightly:
"Daoyou really has a keen eye."
He seemed to admit that he was the "Huangquan True Body" cut out by the Demon Lord.
The Asura Ancestor looked at him deeply, and the exaggerated wrinkles on his face trembled a few times: "Daoyou deliberately passed the news of Huangquan's reincarnation to me, what is your intention?" "Huangquan's reincarnation disappeared nearby, which may be related to the secret of the stone temple built by the Buddha. I can't find a clue for the time being." Meng Qi said frankly that he was incapable of doing it in a very leisurely tone. "Daoyou was born at the beginning of the opening of Jiuyou, and has experienced almost all the time of Jiuyou from this era to now. Most of you have witnessed the construction of this temple by the Buddha, and even have some The intersection is the most suitable person to ask for advice, so I will use the two friends to reveal this news to you. If you are not interested, I can only find another way. As the saying goes, those who are willing to take the bait will be tempted. "
The Asura ancestor said, "When the Buddha built this stone temple, he converted many strong people from my Asura clan and evolved into a clan that protects the Buddha."
His few words actually outlined a thrilling picture. It is conceivable that he and the Asura clan would not allow the Buddha to convert them. I don't know how many battles and conflicts occurred during this period.
For such a big man, the half-god and half-demon did not call him "old bald donkey".
It is indeed a "living fossil", a witness of history... Meng Qi nodded slightly and said: "Why did the Buddha build this blue-gray stone temple? Is it really to suppress some existence?"
The Asura Ancestor shook his head, his eyes became more and more turbid, as if he was trapped in a long-lost memory:
"At that time, the Buddha seemed to have not yet reached the other side, but it seemed that he had reached the other side for a long time. For great figures of their realm and level, their specific state is really not clear to us. He came to Jiuyou alone, preached and persuaded the demons, from the 'Nether Sea' to the 'Heaven of Transformation', from the 'Black Prison' to the 'Demon Pool', from the 'Yellow Spring' to the 'Ashura Field', step by step Measure, at that time the Demon Lord and Tiansha were still there, He did not make any excessive moves, as if to complete a penance. "
"During this process, He stopped eighteen times, and each time he stopped, he built a similar blue-gray stone temple, nine of which were located deep in the Nine Netherworlds, and the other nine were along the Yellow Springs River, without suppressing any existence. "
"For so many years, I have always been thinking about why He built the blue-gray stone temples. I vaguely understand that He seems to be exploring the secrets of the Nine Netherworlds to perfect himself. These eighteen blue-gray stone temples are His tools to measure the Nine Netherworlds. "
Explore the secrets of the Nine Netherworlds and perfect himself? Meng Qi's heart moved when he heard it, and he vaguely felt that he was about to touch the secret of the other side. "Unfortunately, I really can't figure out why, maybe I can only really understand it when I reach the realm of Tiansha and them. "The Asura Ancestor sighed.
Meng Qi took two steps forward and said slowly: "So, there is no strong person sealed in the blue-gray stone temple? In other words, no one witnessed the disappearance of Huang Quan's reincarnation..."
The clues of the matter seemed to be cut off.
At this point, Meng Qi suddenly had a flash of inspiration, turned his head to look at the Asura Ancestor, and said with a smile: "If there is no clue here, you will not come here at all. There must be a reason for coming here late at night."
The Asura Ancestor laughed lightly and said sarcastically: "The Buddha is 'compassionate' and pity the nine underworld beings. When building, there are arrangements. As long as you have good intentions and are willing to put down your butcher knife, you can enter the Pure Land and be liberated by entering the stone temple."
"Light up the green lamp, wake up the wooden fish, and sincerely recite scriptures or Buddha's name in front of the faceless Buddha, and you can see the Pure Land."
Meng Qi suddenly realized: "The blue-gray stone temple hides another pure land. Daoyou suspect that Huangquan's reincarnation has entered it?"
The Asura Ancestor nodded, then sighed: "I have lived too long, so long that I thought I could live forever, but the facts tell me that this is just an illusion. For this reason, I searched for the origin of life and death and wanted to comprehend the mystery of death, but I never saw its 'door'. The only reward was to follow the 'Huangquan' and escape upstream. It took thousands of years to walk back to the starting point."
In other words, Huangquan has gone around in a circle? It is a self-contained cycle with no source and no end? In this case, where is its origin, and where is the origin of life and death? Meng Qi was slightly moved by what he heard, and suddenly smiled: "Daoyou is half god and half demon, bloodthirsty by nature, loves fighting, and has the selfishness and coldness of evil demons and evil gods. Why can you overcome your nature and tell me this secret?"
To be honest, if it weren't for the consciousness using the Yuanxin Seal secretly cast by Huangquan's skeleton to tell him that there was no problem, Meng Qi actually didn't believe it.
The turbid eyes of the Asura Ancestor flashed with a brilliant light, and he said lightly:
"It's not that I have overcome my nature, but that my nature of fear of death and desire for survival has overcome other desires."
Relying on myself alone, there has been no progress in so many years, and I must rely on external forces, and the mystery of the origin of life and death is definitely not something that must be enjoyed and possessed by one's own.
"Then let's go to the Pure Land to see it." Meng Qi said no more, and pointed to the faceless Buddha.
The Asura Ancestor laughed: "Let me and my fellow Taoists put down our butcher knives and have good intentions. I am afraid that it is no less than understanding the great secret of life and death. We have to find another suitable creature."
Meng Qi smiled, said nothing more, walked to the incense table like a leisurely stroll, picked up the stone hammer, and woke up the wooden fish.
In an instant, his temperament suddenly changed, from an evil, vicissitudes, and erratic old man to a Zen-minded, compassionate monk, with gray hair on his temples, and a bit of "so that's it" after experiencing the mundane world and finally gaining enlightenment.
The Buddha's name sounded, the sound of Zen echoed, and the Asura Ancestor looked at Meng Qi's old back in a brocade robe, and ripples were in his heart.
If it weren't for the death of the "Yellow Spring True Body" just now, he would have thought that the other party was a real ascetic monk who was unknown years old.
For the first time, he felt that he couldn't see through the other party.
Unconsciously, the Zen hall became more and more quiet, and the face of the faceless Buddha gradually twisted and turned into the old man Meng Qi is now.
I see Tathagata, Tathagata is me!
As soon as the Buddha's face appeared, the pure light of glazed glass flowed out from the green lamp, and a golden door full of swastikas appeared in front of Meng Qi and the Asura Ancestor.
Being a monk is my main business... Meng Qi secretly laughed at himself, and looked back at the door at the same time as the Asura Ancestor, and then stepped into the "Pure Land Gate" together.
When the two figures disappeared, the Blood Killing Taoist suddenly appeared outside the stone temple, with joy and confusion in his eyes.
