Chapter 201 The Body of the Secret Realm
The abbot of Xing'an Temple was escorted away, but his shouts attracted Zhou Yuan's attention.
"Haha, I am successful, I have achieved Arahantship."
There are many problems when hearing this. How can a level 40 humanoid monster have the Arhat status?
Even if he doesn't care about his rank and assumes that what he tells is the truth, then he shouldn't just be the abbot of Xing'an Temple, he should have a name like Xing'an Arhat.
Therefore, Zhou Yuan quickly followed him to see if he could find an opportunity to trigger an incident dialogue.
As a result, after the abbot of Xing'an Temple was taken to the Jingtian Patrol Division, new notices appeared soon after.
"Today, a bandit has sneaked into the city. He has committed an unpardonable crime of harming people's lives. He will be detained for three months and executed in public."
With the crime notice, there was a breakthrough. Zhou Yuan went to the back door of the Patrol Department again, found the patrol angel and asked to clear up the crime.
What he didn't expect was that the patrol angels were quite principled.
When he handed over the notice with the appearance of the abbot of Xing'an Temple, the patrol angel took it as usual, but gave a completely different answer.
"This is a life crime. If you just want to see the person one time, it's not a big problem, but there is no reason to eliminate the crime.
If you are sincere, I can also let my subordinate execute him in advance so that he can enter reincarnation early. "
The execution logic of the Jingtian Patrol Division is a little different. Normally, they would pay for a suspended sentence, but they paid for an expedited execution.
But Zhou Yuan understands that this execution logic will only facilitate a special group, that is, players. They are the only ones who are afraid of confinement but not death.
In this case, the crime cannot be eliminated, otherwise the abbot of Xing'an Temple will be executed immediately as soon as the money is paid.
"Then let's meet. I wonder how much it will cost?"
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, just one hundred spirit gold."
The patrol angel was very efficient. After Zhou Yuan paid the money, he brought the abbot of Xing'an Temple over.
At this time, the abbot of Xing'an Temple was wrapped with several chains of light and text. He neither called for help nor tried to escape, as if he had accepted the sentence.
It wasn't until Zhou Yuan took the initiative to ask questions that he spoke as if he was activated.
"Master, why are you killing people in the city?"
"I didn't. I just entered the city to retrieve the reflection. I didn't kill anyone."
"I was originally the abbot of Xing'an Temple in the human world. I entered Jingtian City many times to steal spiritual objects. I did not correct myself after being caught, which resulted in my repeated crimes.
But the patrol angel thought that my crime was not worthy of death, so he sentenced me to the separation of my figure, and threw me to wander outside the city, leaving the person in the mirror transformed by my reflection in the city. "
“Without reflection, I stand by the lake without a mirror image, which makes it impossible for me to leave this place through the mirror lake and return to Xing’an Temple.
For this reason, I can only search day after day, hoping to find a treasure mirror that can be used as entry fee. "
"Many years have passed since then. Today I got a precious mirror by chance and went into the city to retrieve my own reflection.
I never thought that I would be arrested by the Jingtian patrol just after I retrieved my reflection, and I didn’t know how the patrol would judge me this time. "
The abbot of Xing'an Temple did not know that his sentence had been issued, and that it was still a punishment that could not erase the crime.
"Master, what is Arahantship?"
Seeing that the abbot of Xing'an Temple was able to communicate, Zhou Yuan took the opportunity to ask about the doubts he had discovered before.
However, the word "arhat" made the calm abbot of Xing'an Temple suddenly become extremely excited.
"I have no remaining three fruits, I only seek Arahantship.
Reaching the state of Nirvana, you will no longer suffer, no longer reincarnate, and you will be free from the three realms and will never have troubles.
I have become, I am no longer a human being, I am an Arhat in the secret realm who has cut off all desires and troubles and escaped the cycle of life and death. "
"Secret realm? It seems that the master's background is not small."
The abbot of Xing'an Temple's answer made Zhou Yuan realize a problem.
That is, if a secret demon can take over his fate and become a human being, can that person also become a secret demon?
If this path of transformation is mutual, there must be someone who hopes to become a demon in the secret realm so as to gain the ability to live forever.
It now seems likely that the abbot of Xing'an Temple was once a human being and later transformed himself into a secret demon in some way.
Otherwise, he should not have said the word "mysterious realm", nor should he have fallen into an abnormal state upon hearing the words "arhatship".
Unfortunately, he has become a secret demon. Even though he can answer various questions like an intelligent AI, he still loses his behavioral initiative.
For example, he has not asked for help until now, as if he does not care about the outcome of his detention.
"Master, are there many people like you?"
"There are a few, but what we want is different. What they want is immortality. I only want Arahantship."
The abbot of Xing'an Temple is in a strange state. It might be said that he has no wisdom, but he can answer questions.
Call him wise. He will only answer questions when Zhou Yuan takes the initiative. Otherwise, he will stand quietly and motionless, waiting silently like the patrolling angel.
But this model is beneficial to Zhou Yuan. As long as he asks a question, he can get some answers.
Therefore, after thinking for a moment, he asked about the process of transforming a person into a demon in the secret realm.
"Master, how can I achieve Arahantship like you?"
“It’s not difficult at all, just take items of lower value a few times and slowly accumulate guilt.
At first, they will only be detained, and after enough times, they will be punished with an amber diamond mirror.
As long as it survives the amber golden light, the figures will separate, and when the figures meet again, the body of the secret realm will be achieved. "
The method mentioned by the abbot of Xing'an Temple is not difficult, but it may not be him at this time.
Because his method needs to be decomposed and reorganized, and it is Mirror Heaven that operates all of this, it is impossible to restore his appearance settings after decomposition.
After all, the secret realm is somewhat incompatible with the human world, and the reorganization process will not be the same.
In other words, from the moment he was decomposed by the Amber Diamond Mirror, the original him was gone, and only two Mirror Heaven incarnations carrying his information were left.
This made Zhou Yuan realize that the fate of heaven and earth does not have absolute protection.
If you enter a high-level secret realm and are hit by a spiritual treasure with separation function, your identity is likely to be changed.
"Master, they issued a notice saying that they will execute you in three months. Can your transformation method still work?"
"To become an Arhat, you must first be extinguished and nirvana, and replace the old self with a new self, so that you can become a member of the secret realm."
The abbot of Xing'an Temple has determined the path of transformation, and at this moment he has no ability to think actively.
Therefore, no matter how Zhou Yuan beats around the bush, the answers he gives are extremely similar.
Until this time, Zhou Yuan had to admit that the abbot of Xing'an Temple had become a standard event monster.
In order to verify the special units such as the Mirror Seekers, he went out of the city and threw out many monitoring mirrors.
It turns out that after obtaining the mirrors, normal Mirror Seekers will only enter the city and become the people of Mirror Heaven.
Only a very small number of special Mirror Seekers are transformed from humans.
After Zhou Yuan conducted many experiments, he encountered another one. When he rushed into the city to merge with the people of Mirror Heaven, he also stated his purpose.
"I have become immortal and have a mysterious immortal body."
