Chapter 462: Spiritual Journey

"Yunyan Pavilion?"

"Yunyan Pavilion!"

Changsun Jing and Ruyi Monk spoke in different tones, but they were equally surprised. He had just mentioned the Living Buddha, and he took the initiative to come to the door!

If it were someone else, they would probably think that he was ignorant of the world. How could the gap between the Grand Master and the peak of the human world be measured by reason? The evil king's magic power was so terrifying in the past. When facing the Demon Queen, he still fled like a stray dog. I don't know how many strong people have been trapped at the peak of the human world for their whole lives, and never took that step!

But the one in front of him was Xiao Meng, the "Shocking God Sword", the Xiao Meng who had once attracted thunder to kill the evil king, and the Xiao Meng who had created all kinds of incredible things!

And after five years, no one knew what level he had reached!

He was definitely not an arrogant person, otherwise it would be impossible for him to let go of everything and live a carefree life at his peak.

In other words, he had enough confidence in his own strength!

They also didn't believe that "Shocking God Sword" Xiao Meng would make a mistake in judging the Living Buddha's strength. He had received guidance from the Sword Emperor and had also worked with the Demon Queen.

The two looked at each other and thought of a possibility:

Could it be that after five years of hard practice, he has already entered the ranks of Grand Masters?

Considering his age, this is probably an unprecedented record!

Meng Qi's hands hung at his sides, slender and white, and it was hard to tell that they were the hands holding the sword, but they revealed a kind of indescribable sense of power.

He walked out of the door slowly, ignoring the dazed Changsun Jing and Ruyi Monk, walked down the stairs, left Xiaoxiang Tower, and turned into the street leading to Yunyan Pavilion. He always had a smile on his face, leisurely looking at the surrounding bustle, seemingly careless.

The footsteps were very close, and Changsun Jing and Ruyi Monk caught up.

"Meng, Mr. Meng, I have been looking for you for the past five years. I want to thank you in person for your guidance. Unfortunately, there is no news. I wonder what you are doing?" Changsun Jing hesitated, but still asked cleverly.

Meng Qi said half-truthfully: "Watch the sunrise, look at the stars, and think about the roundness of the sky and the rise of the east and the setting of the west."

"Well, what a leisurely life, what a leisurely life of seclusion." Changsun Jing laughed dryly. He is a person who loves excitement, and he thinks Meng Qi's answer is too light and has no real focus.

However, since others don't want to say it, there is no need to ask more.

Meng Qi looked at him sideways and said, "What? Don't believe it?"

"No, no, it's just that I like to call friends, drink big bowls of wine and eat big mouthfuls of meat, and I can't enjoy this kind of life." Changsun Jing quickly explained.

Ruyi monk nodded slightly: "It can eliminate impetuousness, watch the sun and appreciate the stars. Even if Mr. Meng is not from the Buddhist sect, he has some Buddhist nature."

He had fought with Meng Qi before, so he naturally knew that he might be from the Buddhist sect.

I don't like to hear you say that... Meng Qi raised his eyebrows, knowing that Ruyi monk was not intentional, and did not say much, and continued to walk towards Yunyan Pavilion like a stroll.

When he arrived outside Yunyan Pavilion, there were four imperial guards guarding the door, and two men dressed in Western captives standing inside the door.

"This is the envoy's house. If you have nothing to do, please stay away." A imperial guard shouted.

"I heard that the living Buddha of the present time is here, so I came here to listen to the Buddhist teachings." Meng Qi replied with a smile.

After hearing that the living Buddha could also pull people into the reincarnation of the past life, he was determined to fight with the living Buddha.

I have always been worried about my past life being related to Ananda, but the "Heaven-Changing and Earth-Strike Method" cannot awaken my past life reincarnation memories, unless I use the help of people who have been entangled for generations to travel the spiritual journey together. Now that I have such an opportunity, how can I let it go?

As for the Living Buddha's claim to save me, haha, am I such a stingy person?

The imperial guards laughed in anger: "How could the Living Buddha be in Yunyan Pavilion? Get out, get out!"

"I am the Jingshen Sword." Meng Qi introduced himself.

"Jingshen Sword? What Jingshen..." The imperial guards suddenly stuttered, and the foreigners guarding the door looked at each other.

After a while, one of the foreigners said in a fluent and mellow Central Plains dialect: "Wait a minute."

He turned and went straight into the depths of Yunyan Pavilion.

Several imperial guards and the remaining foreigners looked at Meng Qi evasively. Although five years have passed, the name of "Jingshen Sword" Xiao Meng is still so legendary.

Escorting Lu Guan to the capital for thousands of miles, countless souls died under his sword; sneaking into Yunyan Pavilion and kidnapping the real envoy; defeating Lie Dao with one move, and saying that he was not worthy of using a sword; breaking into the palace at night, ignoring the net of heaven and earth, and killing the evil king with thunder; attacking the prince's mansion, killing the prince under the protection of many masters... So many things, one of which is enough to be passed down in the world for many years, not to mention that they all happened to the same person, and the time interval between them was very short!

"Since the young master retired, there have been people pretending to be the name of "Shocking God Sword" every year, but unfortunately none of them can stand up to the stage." Changsun Jing thought of something interesting, "The most outrageous thing is that Leng Jun, who pretended to be the young master, wanted to ask for a certain chivalrous woman, but was defeated by two or three swords..."

Meng Qi listened with relish, confirming his reputation from the side.

"Envoys, please come in." The previous Western Tartar guards hurried back and looked at Meng Qi in a way they thought was hidden, wondering why he dared to come, knowing that the Living Buddha wanted to save him!

Following the guards, Meng Qi and others entered Yunyan Pavilion. There were not many changes in the plants and trees here.

The reception room of Yunyan Pavilion was very large, and there were many people inside, but Meng Qi's sight naturally locked on one of them.

He sat in the middle, with one arm bare, wearing the unique clothing of the Buddhist sect outside the Great Wall. He was tall and handsome, with skin as white as jade, and his age could not be seen. He had a strange charm. His eyes were clear and transparent, but if you looked at him, you would find that there were circles of whirlpools in them, like ripples on a mirror lake.

While Meng Qi was looking at him, he also saw Meng Qi, and felt that his eyes were deep and dark, with no bottom in sight, as if there was a night sky without stars and bright moon.

It was indeed a contemporary living Buddha... Changsun Jing narrowed his eyes. When he was fighting with the Western Tartars, he had seen this person from afar. It was a pity that the Sword Emperor did not take action at that time, so he was unable to see the Great Sun Lihuo Wheel and the legendary secret method.

When their eyes met, Meng Qi and the living Buddha could no longer see the things around them. There was only each other and the aura involved, but Changsun Jing and other people and things were outlined in the heart lake bit by bit.

"I heard that the Living Buddha wanted to save me, so I came." Meng Qi took a step forward, and his momentum suddenly changed, as if he had experienced vicissitudes of life, distant and vast.

The Living Buddha slowly stood up and said in a strange Central Plains dialect: "Only by eliminating demons can we defend the Tao."

He stood there, as if he was the center of everything, looking down at the reincarnation, like a real Buddha.

The two of them performed spiritual secrets without reservation at the same time!

The sky near Yunyan Pavilion was originally blue, but it suddenly became dim at this time. It was not the kind of rainstorm, but a strange dark circle of black rotation, like the hell in the rumors, where evil spirits seemed to crawl out.

The world suddenly changed, and Changsun Jing, Ruyi Monk, the Western Envoy, and the Yunyan Pavilion reception room disappeared from Meng Qi's eyes and mind, and he found himself in a narrow room.

The room can only fit a bed and a table. If there is one more chair, it will be difficult to get in and out.

The clothes were packed in a box and placed behind the door, so every time they went out, they could only open a very small gap, only for one person.

This was the rental house in his last life when he was at his lowest point... Meng Qi was not shocked. First, he had been mentally prepared, and second, he had not forgotten this feeling.

He turned on the computer in front of him, and countless green letters appeared on it, jumping and finally condensing into a picture.

Inside was a respected old man who had spent his whole life studying Buddhism.

Without any external judgment, Meng Qi naturally knew that he was the Living Buddha, the previous life of the Living Buddha.

The old man turned his head, and the two of them met eyes. The environment suddenly changed. Meng Qi felt uncontrollable grief and anger in his heart, and tears flowed down. In front of him was a building in a sea of ​​fire, and a Japanese soldier stood next to him. His pregnant wife fell to the ground, her belly was cut open, and the fetus was picked up.

Meng Qi clenched his teeth, unable to be weak anymore, and made a hoarse sound and rushed over.

Bang, a gunshot, darkness in front of him.

There is another world in the dancing flames. A kind-looking old lady sits in the Buddhist temple, praying for her children and grandchildren. Unconsciously, her breathing stops and her expression is peaceful.

Anger, hatred and fear reappear. Meng Qi sees himself locked in a bamboo cage and being carried to the pond.

"You have committed adultery before you get married. You deserve to be put in a pig cage!" The parents who usually love him have changed color, with ferocious expressions, as if they want to eat him alive.

The bamboo cage sinks, and the cold water soaks into the tip of his nose. In the pond reflecting the firelight, there is another scene. A girl is kidnapped by bandits and humiliated. She wants to commit suicide several times, but she is rescued by others. In the end, she sees through the world and becomes a Buddhist.

Time and time again, Meng Qi has experienced the reincarnation of a Taoist priest, a scholar, an ordinary woman, and the living Buddha has also changed into a butcher, an eagle, a general, etc.

The further you go, the rarer the memory fragments are, and the shorter the scene is.

Suddenly, Meng Qi's eyes went blank, as if he had reached the beginning of reincarnation.

Nothing?

No Ananda?

On the other side of the blank, the Living Buddha was still going back through his past lives, and in each life he finally turned to Buddhism.

As he approached the beginning, his body gradually turned into glass, and a big sun slowly rose behind him.

After both sides pulled each other into the memories of past lives, there would be no way to end it peacefully, and there would be an ultimate showdown, otherwise they could not get rid of this situation and would sink forever.

Meng Qi knew this, and the Living Buddha knew it too!

But at this time, Meng Qi had reached the beginning, and was ordinary, while the Living Buddha was becoming more and more Zen-like, and the big sun behind him seemed real.

It seemed clear who would win and who would lose!

In the Yunyan Pavilion, Changsun Jing and others saw the Living Buddha's hands unconsciously forming a sun wheel, and the whole person seemed to be shining with light, as if the sun had descended.

"The sun has descended, has the Living Buddha finally reached the highest level?" The Western Tartar envoy was surprised.

Meng Qi, who was looking at the Living Buddha, was as dull as a body without a soul!

"What should we do?"

"Should we interrupt him forcefully?"

Changsun Jing and Ruyi Monk looked at each other and felt that something was wrong with the Sword of the Gods.

At this moment, Changsun Jing saw Meng Qi sigh, raised one hand, pointed at the sky, and lowered the other hand, pointing at the ground.

He seemed to have grown taller all of a sudden, filling the world and giving people an incomparable feeling!

What is this? Everyone looked at him in amazement.

In the spiritual world of both parties, the sun behind the Living Buddha became more and more obvious. When it was getting closer and closer to the real thing, they suddenly found that Meng Qi on the opposite side had disappeared, and there was a golden Buddha statue sitting upright. It was so huge that the Three Thousand Worlds seemed to be filled with it. One hand pointed to the sky, and the other pointed to the ground, showing great purity, great compassion, and great liberation!

Since Meng Qi dared to come, he must have a means to save his life.

After the nine orifices of the "Eight Nine Mysterious Art", it can slightly simulate the breath feeling of the first style of the "Tathagata Palm"! It can be used to break the Living Buddha's mind!

At this time, the golden giant Buddha made a majestic and compassionate voice:

"The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, turn back and you will find the shore!"

The Buddha preached, the sound was like thunder, the Living Buddha's eyes froze, and the sun shook.

"The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, turn back and you will find the shore!"
