Mysterious Tribulation

Chapter 1057 Toast (Thanks for Not Being Able to Bear the HW Leader!)

Southern countries!

The southern part of the continent is the first area where the material world has been occupied since the invasion of the gods of esoteric religion.

By now, decades have passed.

For gods, dragons, elves and other long-lived species, decades are just a blink of an eye.

But for ordinary people, decades have been the change of two or three generations.

The influence of outer gods on them has penetrated into every aspect of life.

Once a few decades later, all the people of the older generation are dead, and they will take the rule of the esoteric religion as a matter of course and righteousness.

...

A portal was opened.

Aaron's figure came out.

At this time, he was dressed as a wandering poet, wearing light traveler clothes, and carrying a lute +3 on his back.

"Is this the South?"

He looked around and muttered to himself.

The esoteric gods have completely ruled this area, and even set up a tight net.

Any teleportation spells like 'Teleportation', 'Any Door' are monitored.

The entire southern continent is under the shroud of a strange force every moment!

Aaron raised his head, looked at the scarlet sun, and narrowed his eyes.

"That's me. If I replace it with the saints of the gods, or even other legendary professionals, I'm afraid that it will be exposed as soon as it is teleported?"

【The Great Sun Tathagata】To be the deity of all Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, and Vajra Dharma Protectors in Esoteric Buddhism!

His power is unbelievably powerful, even forming a special field that covers most of the material world!

This is also the reason why most of the plans of the gods fail!

"secret!"

Aaron had a 'secret seal' on his hands, and a golden swastika flashed in his eyes, and in the sea of ​​​​knowledge, the 'reverse seed' suddenly brightened.

And then...

He felt that the scarlet light that enveloped this land not only did not reject him, but kindly accepted him.

This represents the area ruled by the esoteric religion, completely opening its doors to itself.

"Open the door and snatch the thief!"

"Who told me to be the Buddha's son recognized by the Buddha... Or is it the family of the "Secret Master Buddha of Silent Reverence", with his secrets, even if I encounter other esoteric gods and even Buddhas, it may not be exposed!"

Aaron opened his hands like the sun in his arms.

In the void, strands of the sun's light swarmed, filling his body, running along specific meridians and acupuncture points, and finally converging on the eyebrows.

【Experience +100! 】

【Experience +100! 】

...

One hint after another appeared.

Although the experience value added each time is not much, it has been continuous and endless, which is quite terrifying!

"If I had practiced in the area ruled by secret sects from the very beginning, I would have become a legend even if I was lying down?!"

Aaron thought bitterly.

Then, more hints surfaced:

[You observe the great sun and comprehend the 'Three Meridians and Seven Wheels of Yoga', which is the method of esoteric practice... Under the sunshine of the great sun, the experience value continues to increase...]

[If you have an understanding of the 'emptiness view', you will comprehend the method of refining the 'Great Sun Divinity'! 】

Aaron was shocked!

It doesn't matter if he comprehends the fundamental cultivation method from the great sun. Anyway, he is very good at the method of secret teaching, and he is very used to it.

But the divinity of the sun?

Esoteric practice, there are still three basic steps: Bodhicitta, emptiness view, Tathagata Treasure!

The view of emptiness is that mortals do not plunder the divinity of divine creatures, but cultivate the method of divinity themselves!

It's just that the divinity cultivated by emptiness is not completely in line with itself, but in line with the deity of esoteric practice.

Therefore, it is easy to become the food of the esoteric gods!

"Damn it, I want to cultivate divinity, which is also the Buddha-nature of the 'Secret Master Buddha of Peace and Peace'. How can I become the deity of [Dari Tathagata]?"

Aaron rubbed his stiff face.

He had an epiphany, as long as he continued to absorb the radiance of the great sun, and then continued to condense in the body, he could refine a trace of the 'big sun divinity'!

This is the divinity of the Great Sun Tathagata!

Can rule everything!

'Could it be that the deity has set me the way to usurp the throne of the Great Sun Tathagata? This really looks good on me...'

Aaron almost wanted to quit.

【Dairi Tathagata】Who is it?

That scarlet sun almost got rid of the deity, and went to work hard with the other party by himself?

Let's wash and sleep...there's everything in your dreams!

'Alas... it's a pity, who made me one with the deity, if he fails, I'm finished? ’

Aaron sighed and began to think about how to do his job well.

Although the 'Father of Oak' revealed the news of the 'primordial god' Io, the other party should be in a bad state, and he is at a disadvantage against the [Great Sun Tathagata].

Therefore, more help from [Powerful Divine Power] is needed.

The 'war master' is very important.

It is a pity that [The Great Sun Tathagata] has already blocked the channel for the resurrection of the gods and controlled the underworld.

Only those who sincerely converted to the "white-clothed dragon queen mother" can be resurrected.

The rest of the gods, after the resurrection, were all blocked.

'In order to revive the other party, one of the voters who dominated the war used a special method to fall into the underworld, and then he was trapped...'

"But... Since the death of the god of death, the underworld has been closed, and it is a bit difficult to enter alive..."

'The only remaining passage in the material world is still located in several great temples of the esoteric gods...'

‘The rebel army has sent people to try to infiltrate one after another, but they all failed, including even a legendary thief! ’

'But I can just mix in...'

As for the esoteric religion being so tightly sealed, how did the elector sneak into the underworld?

This seems to be related to the layout of the war master, and it also consumes a main artifact of [powerful divine power]. The price is too high and the success rate is too low, which is not very desirable.

"So... do you mix into the temple first?"

"It's not in a hurry, let's go shopping first..."

Aaron's face showed a pleasant smile unique to the music people, carrying the lute on his back, and began to wander.

...

The countries that once existed in the Southern Continent have long since vanished.

Those princes and nobles, kings and grand dukes, either all died or became serfs.

Now ruling the entire southern region, there are temples or shrines everywhere!

Each temple leads a vast parish, and the area occupied by the temples dedicated to the Buddha is no smaller than the original principality or even the kingdom!

The monks in the temple became de facto nobles!

Under the temple, some were assimilated by the local culture, and a series of "castle owners" and "manor owners" were created, that is, big landlords and small landlords.

The 'castle master' owns a castle and a large area of ​​land nearby, as well as a huge number of serfs.

The 'manor owner' has only one village, and is often a vassal of a certain 'castle lord'.

And all the 'castle masters' must compete to please, worship the monks in the temple, and gain their support, otherwise their status may plummet at any time.

Aaron walked across a field.

Oatmeal was planted in the fields, and a group of serfs like walking corpses were working in the fields, and some were wearing shackles to prevent escape.

He took a closer look and found that except for a few old slaves who had buried flames in their eyes, most of the other young serfs had numbness in their eyes.

They were born serfs and have always been serfs.

I don't even know what the outside world is like, and I don't even know why I live like this.

On the contrary, he thought that it was only right and proper to please the landlord and dedicate everything to the monks!

When the overseer ordered to rest, many serfs began to silently recite the scriptures:

'Wisdom of all beings... Wisdom for me... Om... Phamona...'

Aaron frowned as he listened.

In the property bar, a prompt appears:

[You listened to the 'Buddhist Sutra of Wisdom' and comprehended the method of extracting the wisdom of all living beings and turning them into mani beads! 】

'Is this a halo of deceit? ’

Aaron complained in his heart, but he probably understood that these people worshipped the 'Buddha of Wisdom, the Great Mani Bead King', but they didn't get any gifts, they just gave and kept giving!

Their wisdom was gradually absorbed by the "Big Mani Bead King Wisdom Buddha" and became Mani Beads in the other's hands.

After all, what thought does a slave want?

When people are free, they will think about a lot of messy things, they will be dissatisfied, and even take action!

Without wisdom, there will be no three poisonous afflictions such as greed, hatred, and delusion, and one can attain bliss!

This is what the Wisdom Sutra is about!

"The sword is slanted, and the way is crooked..."

Aaron's mouth twitched, and found that the supervisors were also worshiping Buddha.

However, what they worshipped was another Buddha - "Eastern Fudozun Victory Buddha"!

This Buddha symbolizes all stubborn and intransigent qualities.

The landlords worshiped him, naturally wanting to keep everything the same. The sons of serfs were serfs from generation to generation, and the sons of landlords were landlords from generation to generation.

Of course, the 'Dongfang Fuzun Zunsheng Buddha' also has a symbol of change. The only change they hope for is to have a great monk in their family!

Other than that, everything stays the same!

"Ta, Chrysalis...these two are having a good time here."

Aaron complained in his heart and was about to leave.

The southern continent is too unfriendly to bards.

There are either serfs or slave owners everywhere. The serfs have no spiritual need to listen to music, let alone money! - The latter is often more important!

After all, occupations such as bards and circuses also have to eat.

As for the manor owner and the castle owner?

They can support a few entertainers and clowns who are not involved in production, but are often kept in the manor and do not need outsiders at all.

on the contrary!

Outsiders are a very eye-catching presence in the local area.

Like Aaron!

Just because he looked at the serfs a few more times, he was targeted by those overseers.

They looked at each other, grabbed the whip, and immediately surrounded him: "This is the territory of Master Bai, and we are the overseers of Master Bai, who are you?"

Aaron thought for a while and replied, "My name is... Maitreya! I'm an ascetic..."

Um.

Becoming a monk requires a lot of conditions. If it is not the descendants of the castle owners, the descendants of the manor owners often need to go through a lot of hardships.

For example... honing one's will and physique through 'asceticism'...

Well, these are all fake.

The reason why there are a small number of ascetics in the southern countries is entirely because they did not please their 'guru' and were unable to obtain the 'empowerment' for a long time. They could only wander around, looking for opportunities...

"ascetic?"

Master Bayi's overseer looked at Aaron up and down, obviously not feeling like it!

Of the ascetic monks in memory, who did not bow down to the Daxueshan Temple, the main temple dedicated to the "Dari Tathagata", one step at a time, in ragged clothes, and went on a pilgrimage?

Who is so dressed up and carrying a piano?

Most of these overseers were in their twenties and thirties, and they belonged to the new generation after the fall of Nanda Road, and they even forgot that there was a profession of 'bard'.

However, Aaron's reported status as an ascetic still greatly deterred them.

After all, monks reign supreme!

And the ascetics are barely considered 'reserve monks', perhaps their masters can ignore them, but they must remain respectful.

Otherwise... if they are seen by a passing 'monk in yellow', they can order their master to offer up their bones, flesh, skin... to make magic weapons!

Well... the serfs also have one of the biggest uses, and that is to offer everything they have for a certain master to practice the Dharma!

If it is a beautiful serf girl, then the end must be extremely miserable!

"I don't know what this Master Maitreya needs?"

Those overseers put down their whips, with suspicious expressions on their faces, and some tentative questions.

"If you can help me with some food and water, poor monk... No, I'm very grateful."

Aaron folded his hands, looking for a sense of being a monk.

Although as long as the identity of the authentic Buddha is revealed, not to mention these supervisors, even if they are their masters, or the masters of their masters have to kneel, there are still some problems with the identity of 'Maitreya', just like the sudden appearance. .

Aaron was going to wander around a few areas first, telling stories as an ascetic, and then having an epiphany and getting the Buddha to teach the Dharma, it would be more plausible.

Anyway, since he was going to play sneak, he was stupid and said his name was Aaron.

The name Maitreya is quite suitable, and it can occupy the future.

An overseer quickly mounted his horse, raised his whip, and walked away.

"Master, please take a rest, we will do it immediately."

The rest respectfully asked Aaron to rest.

This also has a taste of surveillance.

Aaron, of course, was not afraid, and walked from good to shade.

And on the road he walked, those serfs didn't even dare to touch them, they only dared to kneel from a distance and kowtow to the 'Master', which seemed to have formed an instinctive habit.

'This is a good slave, gentle, obedient, and won't resist...'

Aaron sat down and sighed inwardly.

After waiting for about half an hour, a group of knights came hurriedly, led by a fat blond and blue-eyed man.

"This master... I am the owner of the local manor - Bayi Devens, my master - Noi, is the owner of the local castle, and was given the title of 'Kangba Tusi' by the monk of Xueji Temple..."

Master Bai's voice was a little smug.

Only the castle owner who is loved by the great monks can get the title of 'Tusi', which represents the hereditary right to this land!

And he still has some blood relationship with the Noy Kangba toast, otherwise he wouldn't get a manor.

After revealing his identity, he said to Aaron slightly proudly: "I brought the best white bread in the manor as an offering to the master..."
