Chapter 184 Mysterious Buddha, Enlightenment

Huiming held the Buddha scroll in his hand and said: "This is the secret treasure of our sect. Today, I have authorized the ancient benefactor to have a look at it.

Oh, why did my master give me this thing before leaving? It turns out that he had arrived long ago and wanted me to use this thing to resolve cause and effect. "

"What kind of treasure is this? What is it used for?" Gu Xia asked.

Huiming: "This thing has different effects on different people. Just use it subjectively in ancient times."

Gu Xia took the Buddhist scroll and slowly unfolded it.

There are no words, symbols, or pictures on the yellowed ancient leather scroll. It is completely blank.

"Wordless Heavenly Book?"

Gu Xia glanced at Huiming doubtfully.

The monk smiled and said: "If the donor is destined to it, he will understand the mystery."

"Bald Donkey, did you just pick up an old piece of leather to trick me?"

Gu Xia was confused.

But Huiming's tone didn't sound like he was lying, so he continued reading.

But no matter how Gu Xia looked at it, it was just an old empty leather scroll.

"It's empty, there's nothing. You have to give me some hints. Do you want me to be Wukong?"

Wait...Wukong? "

There seemed to be something mysterious and mysterious in Gu Xia's mind, but he couldn't figure it out.

I couldn't help but recall the Buddhist and Taoist classics I had read in my mind, but I still couldn't figure it out.

Suddenly, Gu Xia saw a pure black dot appear on the ancient scroll in his hand.

"This is?"

That small dot of extremely pure darkness seemed not to be on the ancient scroll, but in this space.

Then, the small dot was like a singular point in the black hole, showing infinite "gravity" and pulling Gu Xia's whole body into the circle.

The moment you are swallowed into a "black hole", the concepts of time and space disappear.

Gu Xia's thoughts also returned to nothingness.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Maybe in an instant, maybe a thousand years later.

Gu Xia's time resumed flowing, his soul began to move again, countless thoughts collided and merged in the void, and his consciousness gradually recovered.

"Where is this?"

It was pitch black all around, and he couldn't see or touch anything, or he couldn't feel his body.

Even the AI ​​stars didn't respond to his call.

"Damn, why is there nothing?"

A voice said: "Donor, this is a virtual realm, everything is empty, naturally there is nothing."

Gu Xia: "If everything is empty, then why is my consciousness still there?"

"Donor, everything has returned to emptiness. Your consciousness may not exist at all, or you may be just a part of emptiness."

Gu Xia: "Don't tell me riddles, just tell me what you have to say!"

"The donor is really impatient, but I've already said it."

Gu Xia was a little confused: "Have you already said it?"

He couldn't help but recall the words of that voice.

"Everything is empty, everything is empty?"

But Gu Xia couldn't think of the profound meaning of these words.

"Hey! Can you give me some more tips?"

I asked again, but no one responded.

Gu Xia is trapped in this virtual space.

Time passes minute by minute.

Gu Xia gradually went from calm to impatient, and then from impatient to calm, repeating this dozens of times.

In the blink of an eye, it seems that several years have passed.

"Monk Huiming is waiting for me to come out. I must make you look good! You actually repaid kindness with enmity! You trapped me here!"

Gu Xia's consciousness complained that nothing existed in the virtual world, making him suffer from loneliness.

"Damn it! This place is empty! There's not even a body! How should I break the situation!

Do you really want me to understand the void? If I had that level, I would have penetrated the world long ago! "

"Wukong! Wukong! I'm not Brother Monkey. How can I have his understanding of the laws of heaven and earth in an instant!"

Gu Xia was incapable of being furious, but there was not even a single thing in this virtual world for him to vent his anger on.

It may have been several months after he became angry again before he slowly regained his composure.

In this virtual world, Gu Xia's consciousness can remain immortal. If he can't find a way to get out of here, it will be an endless prison.

Therefore, Gu Xia still had to find a way.

He poured out all the various theories he knew in his mind, and thought about them all, whether they were Taoist, Buddhist or Confucian theories.

Even knowledge from past lives is recalled.

Gu Xia even wanted to use his half-understanding of the theory of relativity to crack the virtual world.

"Huh? Relatively..."

Gu Xia suddenly had an idea.

"Everything is empty. Relatively speaking, that means emptiness is everything."

"Then everything is empty, that is, all things are empty, or...all things are created from nothing!"

"If the Riddler is right and I am also part of the void, can I also use the void to create things?"

Gu Xia had just had an idea, and then he felt something was different about the originally unchanging virtual world.

That is, Gu Xia has a body, his consciousness is no longer helpless, and he can touch every part of his body, but he still cannot summon the stars.

"It really works!"

Gu Xia realized that he could create things out of the void, but he still seemed to be floating in the air, with nothingness under his feet.

"I want the earth!"

So Gu Xia kept his feet on the ground, and the virtual world gave birth to the earth.

"I want air!"

The next second, Gu Xia could breathe freely.

"call…"

Gu Xia took a deep breath and then shouted.

"I want light!"

In an instant, a bright light appeared in the boundless darkness, and the dark world was illuminated.

"This is!"

Gu Xia looked in front of her in surprise.

Less than ten feet away from him, there was a colorful lotus platform.

A monk sat cross-legged on the lotus platform, his body like a bright lamp.

The light that illuminated the virtual world was all emitted by the monk.

Gu Xia could see him clearly, but he couldn't see anything clearly.

What the monk looked like, whether he was a man or a woman, old or young, tall or short, fat or thin, he couldn't tell.

Gu Xia could only feel that the monk's face had no expression of sadness or joy, and he was quietly examining him.

"Who are you?"

Monk: "Donor, who I am is not important. However, the sea of ​​blood is endless, turn back!"

Gu Xia frowned: "Do you know that I practiced the Blood Demon Mysterious Art? After practicing this art, is there still a possibility of turning back?"

The monk nodded: "Meeting is fate. If you are willing to convert to my seat, I can kill the blood demon for you!

At the same time, I will teach you a set of secret Dragon Elephant Divine Art. This is a heavenly art. With your fate, practice it and you can get the Arhat fruit!"

"Arhat!"

Gu Xia couldn't help but think that those who can be called Arhats in the Dagan Buddhist sect are at least masters of the Saint Realm.

"This guy, can't he be a Buddha?"

Gu Xia realized that he had encountered a great opportunity. He could directly talk to a Buddha, obtain the heavenly art, and also eliminate the side effects of the Blood Demon Mysterious Art.

Reason told him that he should agree quickly and throw the bomb of the Blood Demon Mysterious Art out of his body.

"However, with my talent, is there really a chance for me to reach the sainthood if I practice the heavenly-grade skills again at this age?"

But somehow, Gu Xia hesitated instinctively.

A voice also sounded in his heart.

"Do you really want to convert to Buddhism and become a monk?"

"Don't you believe in all the gods and Buddhas and only believe in yourself?"

"Are you satisfied with the mere Arhat status? Haha! Don't you want to be equal to the gods and Buddhas, or even surpass them?"

"I have a good idea, let's swallow this Buddha! His power is ours!"

The voice made a tempting proposal.

At this time, the unknown Buddha asked: "Donor, what do you think?"

"The proposal of the Venerable is very generous and tempting."

Gu Xia smiled strangely: "But! I refuse!"

The next second, the situation in the virtual world suddenly changed.

I saw that the shadow under Gu Xia's feet turned into a pool of blood, and the blood mist rose, shrouding him in crimson light.

The blood mist on Gu Xia's face condensed into a strange blood demon mask, and his hair was soaked in blood, like red flames.

Then huge blood-colored tentacles stretched out from the blood pool, each as thick as a water tank.

The tentacles were covered with spiral eyeballs, and each tentacle had a thousand eyes.

All eyes were staring at the light Buddha, and then the tentacles rushed forward, as if to devour the Buddha.

The unknown Buddha saw this and knew that it was hopeless to tame Gu Xia.

He clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and chanted: "Infinite light, infinite life!"

Suddenly, the Buddha's light was shining!

And the tentacles that stretched out from the blood sea all collapsed, melted, and turned into ashes in the moment when they were illuminated by the Buddha's light.

"Ah!!!"

Gu Xia opened his mouth full of sharp teeth and let out a painful, inhuman wail.

Then, the blood demon mask was covered with cracks.

Crack!

The mask broke.
