Chapter 28 New Mission (please click and recommend)
"This Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation still has a bit of a dry sense of humor..." Meng Qi curled his lips quietly.
After discovering that the small jade Buddha he was wearing was mysteriously broken into two pieces at the end of the first reincarnation, Meng Qi suspected that it was a triggering medium, so he deliberately buried it in the corner of the courtyard, hoping to interrupt the " The "call" of the "Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation", but now it seems that it has almost no effect.
However, Meng Qi found that when he faced the "Reincarnation World" again, he actually had some expectations, and wanted to become stronger through the "Reincarnation World" and get rid of the current constraints.
"Forget it, little junior brother, this matter is of concern to the Bodhi Courtyard. I think they will never treat me badly. I will go back to my room for some quiet time." Meng Qi pretended to be deep in thought and said to Zhenhui.
Zhenhui was already looking in the direction of the Martial Arts Hall eagerly, but now she couldn't help but look back at Meng Qi: "Brother, this doesn't look like you!"
You still know me very well... Meng Qi cursed, how could his usually stupid junior brother become so smart at this time, "Junior brother, it doesn't matter, we have to find out the reason first."
Zhenhui nodded as if he understood, and went back to the Zen room to meditate and practice before Meng Qi. He had recently been at the critical moment of opening up his Dantian, so he was extra attentive.
Meng Qi had fully believed in the power of the "Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation" and did not shy away from true wisdom. He closed the door, crossed his legs and adjusted his breathing.
His breathing became longer and calmer, and Meng Qi gradually surrendered the fear and fear in his heart. His eyes suddenly went dark, then brightened again, and he appeared in the White Jade Square.
There is no change here, the sky is white with clouds, the surroundings are foggy, and the statues of immortal birds and beasts are looming.
"Little monk, take the sword!" Jiang Zhiwei's voice was as crisp as an oriole's, and a sword flew towards Meng Qi in a beautiful arc.
Meng Qi waved his right hand and easily caught the sword. Then he saw Jiang Zhiwei standing pretty not far away, her long yellow skirt swaying gently in the breeze. Zhang Yuanshan and Qi Zhengyan also walked over with their skirts fluttering.
"The progress in martial arts is not small." Jiang Zhi said with a smile, without the frustration and anger of experiencing the reincarnation task again.
From the action of Meng Qi taking the knife, she could probably tell Meng Qi's current level.
Seeing these acquaintances, Meng Qi felt more at ease than in the Shaolin Temple. He chuckled and said, "The young monk doesn't want to meet the Buddha in his prime."
As he spoke, he stroked the fine steel sword.
"Hey, it's rare for you to speak like a monk." Jiang Zhiwei saw Meng Qi's movements and nodded slightly: "I know it's hard for you to get a sharp sword in Shaolin, so I prepared one for you."
"Thank you so much, Miss Jiang." Meng Qi deliberately called her that.
Then, before Jiang Zhiwei retorted, he looked serious: "Miss Jiang, Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Brother Qi, after returning from the last mission, did you find anything wrong with or around you? I found that the little jade Buddha I carried with me was cracked. "
He decided to be sincere about this matter instead of asking around. After all, it was of great importance. If he didn't explain it clearly, it would make Zhang Yuanshan and others miss clues. Besides, the little jade Buddha is now broken into two pieces. , seems to have no effect. It would be unwise to lose the trust of Zhang Yuanshan and Jiang Zhiwei.
Jiang Zhi frowned slightly, thought about it carefully, and slowly shook her head: "I have not found anything similar."
"Me neither." Zhang Yuanshan replied affirmatively after thinking, while Qi Zhengyan also shook his head in denial.
"It seems that the rupture of my little jade Buddha was just an accident." Meng Qi nodded softly, but vaguely felt in his heart that the matter might not be that simple, but he just had no clue at the moment.
"By the way, there is still a very important point that I haven't told you about what happened in the Main Hall." Zhang Yuanshan also couldn't figure out what happened to Meng Qi's Little Jade Buddha, so he started to tell Meng Qi and Qi Zhengyan about "immortal miracles" and "myths". Jiang Zhiwei supplemented the information about the big mysterious organization from time to time.
Meng Qi took a breath: "Could the root of this reincarnation world be in our world?"
Zhang Yuanshan has been able to accept the word "world" very well, and said thoughtfully: "In our world, there have been Taoist Buddhas, demon kings and demon saints, mythological eras, and many powerful and powerful people who can only cover the world with one hand. The great figures in the sky, even the current Dharmakaya-level land gods, are not much worse than the original gods, Buddhas, immortals and saints. They can move mountains and fill the seas, and travel in and out of Qingming. It would not be surprising if the 'Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation' was born here. "
"Where were those big shots back then?" Meng Qi has always been curious about this. How could such a powerful person be lost in the long river of time?
Jiang Zhiwei knew that Meng Qi was a rookie in the world, so she smiled and said with a faint smile: "According to rumors, some of them died at the hands of other powerful people, and some died from the depletion of longevity."
"The longevity is exhausted?" Meng Qi asked in surprise. In his mind, how could a great figure who could be called a god, Buddha, immortal, or sage have to live forever?
Jiang Zhiwei sighed: "It is determined by heaven and earth that even the gods, Buddhas, immortals and saints will have to worry about their longevity. Even if they have tens of thousands or even longer lifespan, they will not be able to escape the fate of a handful of loess in the end."
"I don't know how many amazing and talented people in ancient and modern times have worked hard to come up with all kinds of wonderful methods, such as extending life, resurrecting, and seizing bodies, such as Shinto and ghost ways. Unfortunately, they are only of temporary use and cannot escape the fate of heaven and earth. Therefore, , these important people either build mausoleums to find a way to live forever after death, or disappear silently in the long river of time. I am afraid that only the legendary Taoist Buddha can transcend heaven and earth and be immortal for all eternity."
"In the legend?" Meng Qi asked keenly, isn't it immortal?
"Before the age of mythology, Taoist Buddhas were rarely seen in the world. If the Buddha had not suppressed the demon Buddha when he wanted to destroy the Buddhist orthodoxy tens of thousands of years ago, I am afraid that the world would have thought that they had also passed away one after another. This speculation has been shattered. It also gives hope to all strong people." Zhang Yuanshan sighed with emotion, "It is rumored that Buddhism has an alternative way of cultivation that can coexist with the world, but it is a pity that it is just a rumor."
Meng Qi breathed out softly: "It turns out that gods, Buddhas, immortals and saints will also die of old age."
He is young now, so when it comes to his life span being exhausted, he doesn't have much emotion.
"You can't be considered old. Those who can realize the great power of Taoism and Dharmabody will die before death." Qi Zhengyan's expressionless face had a faint look of yearning.
"Mortality before death? I wonder how long the life of a great person who has attained the golden body of Arhat is?" Meng Qi asked curiously.
Zhang Yuanshan shook his head and said with a smile: "Junior Brother Zhending, it's too early for you to care about this. Well, the current Dharmakaya-level land gods can normally live for two to three hundred years. However, it is rumored that in the mythical era, similar to the lifespan of a big shot. Ten times this, maybe there is a change in the world."
There are very few classics left over from the mythical age, and only various unreliable stories are circulated, so future generations can only make guesses.
"New people will enter this mission." At this time, the voice of the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation sounded majestic and majestic.
As soon as he finished speaking, it seemed as if a great sun was coming. The light was so bright and dazzling that Zhang Yuanshan and Jiang Zhiwei, two masters who had opened their eyes, were so stung that they subconsciously closed their eyes.
When everything returned to normal, Meng Qi saw four people, two men and two women, lying on the white jade floor tiles.
"You bastard, how dare you come here!" The first person to wake up was a tall man wearing a brown suit with oil stains. He jumped up and cursed, holding a long knife in his hand and slashing at the nearest Meng Qi. .
He seemed to be waiting for his enemy, and took action directly without observing the environment.
The other two women and one man just woke up at this time, heard the shouting and cursing, and saw the scene of slashing with a knife.
"Ah!" Among them, the delicate girl in a lotus-colored dress screamed, her hands folded across her chest, trembling.
Next to her was a charming young woman who suddenly took off her hairpin from her head, looking nervous as if she was worried that the evil man would chop her down.
The middle-aged man in a wide robe and long sleeves frowned, and looked at the surrounding area from the corner of his eye, his expression becoming more solemn.
When Meng Qi saw the big man swinging his sword, he probably made a judgment in his mind. He slipped and dodged behind him like a ghost, and swung the back of his sword, knocking him staggering.
"Stop!" After the big man managed to stabilize his body, Meng Qi shook his head and shouted. His strength should be considered to be a small amount of energy accumulation, which is equivalent to real strength, but also has a bit of fierce and life-threatening momentum, which can be regarded as extraordinary skill. , if I had been myself a month ago, I would have been in a hurry when I met him, but now, after long-term sparring with Zhenmiao, and various types of fights in the martial arts hall, dealing with him is just a piece of cake.
The big man also noticed the abnormality in the surrounding environment. He was surprised and suspicious. Hengdao looked at Meng Qi: "May I ask, your Majesty, what is going on?"
He was overwhelmed by Meng Qi's strength and inexplicable changes, and quickly lowered his body.
Meng Qi thought that maybe he could do some good deeds by guiding the newcomers, so he glanced at the faces of the four newcomers one by one: "You should have noticed that something is unusual here, the poor monk Zhending is not much different from you, it's just that he was a little earlier. Time comes to this 'reincarnation world'."
"The world of reincarnation?" The middle-aged man in a wide robe and long sleeves repeated in a low voice and stood up slowly.
Meng Qi pointed to the pillar of light in the middle and briefly introduced the "Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation": "So, you can use your good deeds here to exchange for peerless martial arts, magical weapons, elixirs, and anything else you can think of. thing."
"'Tathagata Divine Palm'? 'Shocking Book'? 'Jade Book of the Heavenly Emperor'?" the burly man asked with rapid breathing.
Meng Qi pointed to the light beam nonchalantly: "You can see for yourself."
After all the introductions, there is no reward for good deeds. I will never do this kind of thing again!
"Master, holy monk, little girl, I don't have the power to tie a chicken. Can you tell me the 'Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation' and let me go back? I will keep my mouth shut." The girl in a pink dress said in a panic. He stood up, looked at Meng Qi and begged.
Meng Qi sighed and clasped his hands together: "Amitabha, donor, do you think it's possible?"
The girl was already in tears, but now her tears fell down and she sobbed in a low voice: "Mother, mother, save Xiao Zi..."
Meng Qi was quite touched by similar situations. He turned to look at Jiang Zhiwei and motioned to her, who was also a woman, to comfort her. As for whether she could survive the subsequent reincarnation mission, it would depend on the situation at that time. When there was no spare strength, I am afraid that neither I nor Jiang Zhiwei and others have the idea of sacrificing themselves for strangers.
Jiang Zhiwei moved her mouth slightly and transmitted the message into the secret: "Little monk, what does 'Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation' mean, and why did you win over an ordinary girl? By the way, that uncle is probably capable of awakening."
She had always thought that the world of reincarnation was similar to choosing a witch, and its target was the younger generation of people in the world.
Meng Qi shook his head, indicating that he couldn't guess. Suddenly, he remembered something and said to Jiang Zhiwei, who came to the side of the crying girl: "Miss Jiang, have you made a breakthrough?"
There was a stranger here, so he asked vaguely.
"Breakthrough." Jiang Zhiwei patted the girl Xiaozi on the shoulder and comforted her in a low voice.
"Holy Monk, my name is Xiang Hui. I ask you to be compassionate and take care of me." After reading the exchange list of the central light pillar, the sturdy man quietly leaned next to Meng Qi, nodded and bowed, and was extremely flattering.
Meng Qi's attack just now made him feel that this young monk's strength was unpredictable and he should be stronger than the other three.
Meng Qi looked at Xiang Hui with a half-smile but not a smile. Just as he was about to speak, the surrounding scene suddenly changed, with mountains and rivers overlapping and light and darkness alternating.
"The Northern Barbarians took over the Central Plains, went against the grain and slaughtered the people. Shaolin monks joined the rebel armies from various places to resist."
"In order to completely eliminate this scourge, the Northern Barbarian General Duoercha is preparing to lead many masters and troops to Shaohua Mountain to destroy Shaolin."
"Dorcha had bribed many monks in Shaolin in advance, and this trip was almost guaranteed. Fortunately, a righteous man sacrificed his life to spread the news.
"Main mission one: The troops are divided into two groups, break through the interception of the masters sent by Duoercha, and send the list of traitors to Shaolin. The time limit is three days. If the time limit is exceeded, fifty good deeds will be deducted. By the end of the reincarnation task, those who do not have enough good deeds will be wiped out. ! If you successfully arrive, each person who enters the temple will be rewarded with fifty meritorious deeds."
"Main mission two: released after the completion of main mission one.
