Chapter 359: A Smile at a Flower
Buddha's disciple? !
Zhou Heng and Cheng Jiangjian both widened their eyes and looked surprised.
However, the reasons for their surprise were different.
Zhou Heng was surprised because what Ning Zeyu said now corresponded to some myths and legends he had heard on Earth.
Kasyapa, also known as "Great Kasyapa" and "Maka Kasyapa", was considered to be the most non-attached among the Buddha's disciples and had a very high status.
At the Lingshan Conference, the Buddha picked up a flower to show the crowd. At that time, everyone was silent, only Kasyapa smiled.
This is the smile of picking up a flower.
This is the legend about Kasyapa on Earth.
Zhou Heng has been looking for something related to the earth in this world, but with little success. He didn't expect to get such a clear clue here.
Cheng Jiangjian was surprised because someone actually described the Buddha's disciples so confidently and even said the name of the Buddha's disciples.
There are legends about Taoism and Buddha in this world, but they are all very simple.
Basically only one sentence.
In the distant past, in the long time before the verification, the Taoist and Buddha preached and taught in the world, so all living beings had the initial method of cultivation and the path to transcendence.
That's all.
As for the specific image, name, and even identity of the Taoist and Buddha, when did they disappear, and what kind of disciples did they have... Countless great powers throughout the ages have wanted to find out, but there is still no conclusion to this day.
In the eyes of most people, the Taoist and Buddha are just legendary figures.
Compared with them.
Even the ancient mythological era, which only has sporadic records, seems to be much more real.
Therefore, Cheng Jiangjian's first reaction was disbelief.
Ning Zeyu is just a secret sixth-grade from a small family. How could she know these secrets that countless people have been unable to explore for thousands of years?
But then she woke up again, and she made the mistake of unwarranted contempt for others.
It is said that Ning Zeyu was born with a strange phenomenon. Maybe she is really the reincarnation of some great man and knows some secrets from long ago?
"You mean the Buddha's disciple?" Cheng Jiangjian decided to ask, "I didn't expect to hear such a long-ago thing."
"You don't have to believe it, it's normal." Ning Zeyu's expression was still calm, and he continued: "There is also a very magical legend about this Venerable Kasyapa, called 'Picking a flower and smiling'.
"Long ago, all Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats lived in the Pure Land Lingshan. The Buddha preached in Lingshan and picked up a flower to show the public. Many Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats did not understand the meaning, only Venerable Kasyapa smiled in response. "
"Is this saying that only this Venerable Kasyapa can understand the Buddha's meaning?" Cheng Jiangjian was surprised: "In this case, Venerable Kasyapa's cultivation level may have reached an unfathomable level. "
"Where did you hear these legends from?" Zhou Heng suddenly asked.
"..." Ning Zeyu was silent for a while, then smiled and said: "If I say that I am the person who experienced this legend, do you believe it?"
"What?" Zhou Heng was stunned.
"How is it possible? "Cheng Jiangjian's eyes widened.
Both of them were very surprised.
What Ning Zeyu said was too shocking.
"Are you saying that you are the reincarnation of the Buddhas of Lingshan?" Zhou Heng frowned and looked at Ning Zeyu, who looked like he didn't look like that.
"No." Ning Zeyu shook his head and smiled, "I am that flower."
"Ah?" Zhou Heng was a little surprised.
"The flower that smiled at the flower?" Cheng Jiangjian was also very surprised.
"That's right." Ning Zeyu nodded slightly, sighed softly, and said, "The Buddha picked up the flower, and I was influenced by Zen, felt spiritual, and transformed into a celestial maiden to serve the Buddha."
"Then why did you reincarnate in this era?" Zhou Heng asked with a smile, and at the same time used a special skill card on Ning Zeyu.
"Identification card: Use it on people or things to identify their true information. ”
“Name: Ning Zeyu
“Age: 31 years old
“Weight: …
“Height: …
“ …
“ …
“Origin: The legend of ‘Smiling at a Flower’ was enlightened by a person and became a spirit, and was reincarnated.”
This result made Zhou Heng a little confused.
It turned out to be a “legend” that became a spirit and reincarnated.
The so-called “legend” that became a spirit is a “legend” or “story” that originally had no substance. Under some coincidences, it has its own spiritual intelligence, similar to being inspired by spirits and becoming a demon.
However, this demon is not a bird, beast, flower, grass, or tree, but a “legend”, a “story”.
And it was enlightened by a person.
It was obviously a premeditated thing.
And the means to enlighten an illusory legend or story into a spirit are extraordinary and may involve the Yaogong Baidiantu, a Taoist second-grade divine item. Device.
It is obvious that behind Ning Zeyu, there may be a big secret and a big problem that she herself does not know.
However, even so, Zhou Heng was very surprised.
Although the legend of the flower-picking smile becoming a spirit does not mean that this legend is true, it can prove that there should be other people who know this legend.
This is undoubtedly a clue related to the earth.
This gain alone has made Zhou Heng excited.
Ning Zeyu did not realize that all her information had been completely seen through by Zhou Heng. She shook her head gently and sighed: "I don't know why I was reincarnated in this era.
"My memory is still stuck in the time when I was the goddess before the Buddha, and even the memory of that period is very vague. I can't even remember the Buddha and Bodhisattva except the Buddha and the Venerable Kassapa. "
It's not that you didn't expect it, but this memory of yours was originally false. You are not a flower incarnate, but a legend or story that is unknown whether it is true or not... Zhou Heng thought to himself.
"But I can feel that as long as I can enter the Hundred Halls of Yao Palace, I can get back what originally belonged to me." Ning Zeyu's eyes suddenly lit up, full of hope.
"This..." Cheng Jiangjian frowned slightly, instinctively feeling that something was not right.
"Do you have any doubts about the reward for this trip?" Ning Zeyu stood up directly and said: "As long as you are willing to help me get one thing from the Yao Palace Hundred Halls Map, the rest can be yours. all."
"We refuse." Zhou Heng also stood up, shook his head and said, "Does Miss Ning have anything else to do? If not, we will leave."
"Ah?" Cheng Jiangjian was slightly startled when she heard this. Although she had doubts, she never thought that Zhou Heng would refuse so directly.
"What?" Ning Zeyu obviously didn't expect Zhou Heng to react like this. She immediately widened her eyes and looked at Zhou Heng in disbelief, "You, you refuse?
"That is the picture of the Hundred Palaces of the Yao Palace. It is the ultimate expression of the Tao of Dreams in a certain direction. It is equivalent to a condensed and complete Tao seed. There are countless rare treasures and magical skills in it. You just refuse it. "
The ultimate expression of the way of dreams in every direction...
As soon as Ning Zeyu said these words, Zhou Heng fell into silence.
It wasn't that he was moved, but that he suddenly realized that turning the illusory "legend" into a spirit might be a great way.
Dream Road!
Refining falsehood into reality!
Let the illusory dream become a real reality!
Could it be that the person who inspired Ning Zeyu to be reincarnated was related to the way of dreams?
if it is like this.
Then the picture of the Hundred Halls of Yao Palace that is looming in the sky above Yujiang Mansion at this time is probably not just a rare treasure.
Bait?
trap?
Seeing Zhou Heng's silence, Ning Zeyu thought he had changed his mind, so he continued: "Aren't you here also to explore the Hundred Halls of Yao Palace? There is no harm in cooperating with me."
"Sorry, we have no idea of cooperating with others for the time being." Zhou Heng refused again and said: "Especially, you are still someone who has had conflicts with us, let's go."
"Yeah." Cheng Jiangjian followed Zhou Heng.
Afterwards, the two of them went straight out of Ning Mansion and returned to Yujiang Inn.
"How could this happen?" Ning Zeyu's eyes flashed with confusion and confusion. She looked at the empty intimate hall and gritted her teeth, "There must be no mistakes in this matter!"
At the same time, she suddenly raised her hand, held a claw with five fingers, and thrust it into her chest. Then she pulled it out and pulled out a piece of crystal clear white jade.
Ning Zeyu opened his palms and stared at the jade. Soon, he saw thirty-six holes on the jade.
They are all in the shape of tears!
…
In the upper room of Yujiang Inn, Zhou Heng set up a soundproofing ban.
Cheng Jiangjian was full of doubts. As soon as she sat down, she asked, "Why did you reject it so suddenly? Did you find something wrong?"
"This Ning Zeyu may be a chess piece of a heavenly being or even a Taoist king." Zhou Heng said solemnly: "Even the so-called Yao Palace Hundred Halls Map may be just a bait or a trap."
"What?" Cheng Jiangjian was deeply surprised.
"Ning Zeyu's whole person from birth to growth may have been manipulated by humans." Zhou Heng sighed: "Her so-called past life memories and pursuits in this life are probably all fabricated by humans, but she doesn't know it. "
"It's actually like this." Cheng Jiangjian was a little surprised, and then she frowned and said: "In that case, Ning Zeyu trapped me for no reason, made a grudge with me, and lured me to Southern Jin. Wasn't it manipulative? Element?"
"It's possible." Zhou Heng thought for a moment and said, "What brought you to the Southern Jin Dynasty?"
Normally speaking, a Secret Sixth Grade such as Cheng Jiangjian should have little value to a powerful person at the level of heavenly being or even Taoist Lord.
Unless...there's something special about her.
However, although Cheng Jiangjian was extremely talented and her cultivation was far beyond that of normal warriors of the same age, there seemed to be nothing special about her.
She is not the reincarnation of a powerful person, nor is she a fairy, she is just purely talented.
Cheng Jiangjian herself had obviously realized this. She frowned slightly, thought for a long time, and finally shook her head gently and said: "I don't think I have such great value, let a heavenly being or a Taoist master use the second grade of Taoism." The magic weapon made a game to attract me.
"Perhaps I'm just the one adding to the mix? There's actually someone else that the great master really wants to lure here?
"By the way, since you guessed that this might be a bait or a trap, have you already thought of possible candidates before?"
"I did think of someone." Zhou Heng nodded gently and said, "That is the master of a friend of mine. She practices the way of dreams, and she is also the reincarnation of a powerful person."
"If that's the case, it is indeed possible." Cheng Jiangjian nodded and said: "The reincarnation of a powerful person who practices the way of dreams may have a complete inheritance of the way of dreams.
"If the Yao Palace Hundred Palaces Map and the great man standing behind Ning Zeyu are also practicing the way of dream, it is indeed possible to use this as bait to lure people over."
"I don't know if they really came." Zhou Heng frowned and said, "I'll check."
Then, he transformed into a thin dog in front of Cheng Jiangjian's unbelievable eyes, sniffed the air with his nose, and turned back to human form.
"You, what are you doing?" Cheng Jiangjian was a little confused, almost thinking that he had just hallucinated.
"A small trick to make it easier to find people." Zhou Heng smiled and said, "They didn't come, it seems that the great man's plan is afraid of failure."
Transformed into a Roaring Sky Dog, it can completely judge whether He Mengqiu and Yunxiu are in Yujiang Mansion by smell.
"That's good." Cheng Jiangjian smiled and nodded, without asking Zhou Heng about his transformation just now, and turned to say: "What should we do next?"
"I will continue to go south and find trouble with Jiaye Temple." Zhou Heng thought for a while and said: "As for you, I suggest you go back to Taihua first and report the situation here to the sect."
For the two of them, the rare treasures and magical elixirs in the Yao Palace Hundred Palaces Map are not particularly attractive.
"Do you want to continue to go south alone?" Cheng Jiangjian said with some concern: "What if Jiaye Temple sends a top master to attack you? Do you want to go back together?"
"This is my practice. Now that the practice has failed, it naturally cannot be interrupted." Zhou Heng smiled and said: "But you don't have to worry, I have my own sense of measure, and I have many methods, you have seen them, don't worry."
"Well, then you must be careful." Cheng Jiangjian is not a shy person, and nodded gently, "I'll wait for you in Taihua Mountain."
"Okay." Zhou Heng smiled and said: "It's a deal."
...
The next morning.
Zhou Heng and Cheng Jiangjian both left Yujiang Prefecture City.
But they went in opposite directions.
Zhou Heng continued to go south to Luozhou, preparing to clear the residence of Jiaye Temple along the way and investigate the source of Jiaye Temple's inheritance. Cheng Jiangjian followed Zhou Heng's instructions and went north to return to Daqi.
After leaving Yujiang Prefecture City, Zhou Heng asked the red horse to speed up and try to resist the next prefecture as soon as possible.
However, while on the road, he suddenly felt a strange light shining down from the sky. Looking up, he saw the shadows of palaces looming above the clouds.
The Star Tear Stone in his arms suddenly became hot, and a ray of light burst out, which actually enveloped him. Then a huge force surged out, dragging him to fly into the sky.
Zhou Heng's first thought was to use the "open door" authority to escape, but he immediately reacted that this might be the Yao Palace Hundred Palaces Map summoning all those who hold the Star Tear Stone.
Cheng Jiangjian also has a Star Tear Stone on him.
So, he gave up using the door opening and let the light of the Star Tear Stone send him to the sky.
After a brief trance, Zhou Heng found himself on an extremely huge platform.
The ground under his feet was paved with white jade, and in front of him was a magnificent giant gate, surrounded by dozens of people with different expressions.
Cheng Jiangjian was also among them, and the two discovered each other at the same time.
