Chapter 374 Dragon Vein Gathering on Wanren Mountain
The more Keats thought about it, the more it made sense. In addition, Buddhism was already in a desperate situation, and they were eager to grab any life-saving straw. In this state of mind, Keats unconsciously changed from being mostly suspicious to only a little suspicious about the coming of the Buddha.
After a while, Keats touched Huiyuan's head and sighed: "It is true. When the Dharma ends in the future, a Buddha will come from the heavens, and "The Way of the Future Stars" is indeed the most Buddhist Dharma that fits this meaning." There was a hint of moisture in his eyes, not only for the hope of revitalizing Buddhism, but also for the recovery of most of his cultivation. At least, in addition to the method of burning the golden body, he had the power to protect himself.
After thinking this through, Keats stood up, facing the hole that had just thrown Huiyuan out, and knelt down respectfully, as if he was worshiping the Buddha: "Thank you, Future Star Buddha, for allowing Keats to recover his consciousness and for giving Keats hope of reviving Buddhism." Huiyuan followed him and kowtowed.
"Okay, Huiyuan, let's set off to Feilaiyuan at dawn. I'll be in trouble for you then." Keats didn't dare to enter the vicinity of Feilaiyuan for tens of thousands of miles, otherwise his identity as a Buddhist monk could not be concealed from the second-level earthly immortal. Only a young monk like Huiyuan, who had not even opened his eyes and was still in the stage of strengthening his body, could have a chance to sneak into Feilaiyuan. He could only make some arrangements in the city tens of thousands of miles away.
Huiyuan nodded and said with a firm expression: "Since Huiyuan swore in front of the Buddha, he must get the immortal talisman. Master, don't worry about Huiyuan. Huiyuan must be careful and will never act blindly."
…………
Shi Xuan retracted his Yuan consciousness. He didn't act like a Buddha just now at the edge of the wild giant forest thousands of miles away. The reason was that he was just simulating the means of gathering starlight in "Future Star Road". At the root, he was still a Taoist orthodox. In addition, he didn't read many Buddhist scriptures, so pretending to be a Buddha didn't have that charm.
Fortunately, it was just a trick to trick Huiyuan, a young monk. If it was Keci, he would have been discovered on the spot.
Wuyan's method was quite tricky. He believed that the luck locked the immortal talisman just to prevent others from opening it. It was to prevent the outside but not the inside. Moreover, the immortal talisman inside was drawn by the Buddha, a great power at the level of a celestial being. It was not something that luck could lock. If the Buddha mantra could be chanted to attract the immortal talisman automatically, the luck would be powerless.
And this Buddhist mantra is said to be the most frequently chanted one by the Glass Buddha when he preached. It is also a profound mantra for Buddhists to capture objects. Therefore, if there is an authentic Buddhist monk who can recite this mantra thousands of times, when the immortal talisman has no owner, it is possible to let the immortal talisman come. The higher the cultivation level of the Buddhist monk, the greater the possibility, and the fewer times he needs to recite.
This is why Wuyan relied on this to bargain with Shixuan. If he rashly looked for other Bodhisattvas, he would be easily invited to join the sect, and even the Bodhisattvas of the second and third calamities might be provoked. After all, the immortal talismans used for cultivation can be shared by everyone, just like the small world. It is not so worrying to cooperate with Wuyan, who has made up his mind to eat alone for some reasons.
As for those who are below the level of Bodhisattva, they cannot attract the immortal talismans without chanting for one or two months, or even several years or decades. How could the second calamity earth immortal give them so much time?
Of course, Wuyan is also confident in his strength. He thinks that the map of mountains and rivers can only trap him and can't do anything to him for a while. If he is about to run out of strength, he will immediately beg for mercy and make a vow. It is not too late. The main purpose is to fight for better treatment. Later, his Bodhisattva's golden body resisted the attack of the map of mountains and rivers, which also proved that his judgment of strength was very accurate. You must know that he didn't even use his life magic weapon at that time.
Unfortunately, he did not survive the first heavenly tribulation, and did not have the ability to act on impulse. In addition, he was trapped in the map, which affected his senses and made him a little slow to respond to the coming of danger. Moreover, he never expected that Shi Xuan had a pure yang magic weapon on him, which made him turn into ashes without even the chance to beg for mercy.
Speaking of which, Wu Yan was also a pauper. In addition to the Bodhisattva's golden body and his life magic weapon, only the Buddhist scripture "Future Star Road" had some value. It was unknown how he achieved the Bodhisattva status.
Regarding Wu Yan's method, Shi Xuan's evaluation was that the success rate might not exceed 30%, which was too idealistic. Even if it really worked, what if the second-tribulation earth immortal returned after chanting the mantra so many times? It is better to prepare in advance, and then the Four Symbols World-destroying Sword will be a pleasure to cut it open.
So Shi Xuan just held the mentality of giving it a try and let Hui Yuan go. If he could really hit that 30% chance, he would not have to go through so much trouble and take certain risks. Anyway, as long as Jian Tonghui escaped, the credit would be counted on his head.
Shi Xuan's words to Huiyuan were a mixture of truth and falsehood. The truth was that the transformation of the fortune of Buddhism began with the suppression of Jian Tonghui by the immortal talisman. If he could remove the immortal talisman, the fortune on it would naturally turn around after losing its target, which would change the entire fortune. Even if Buddhism could not recover to its heyday, it could still survive in a corner.
The falsehood was naturally that the immortal talisman was useful for the third heavenly tribulation. However, even Wuyan, who first discovered that the immortal talisman was made by the Buddha, was only sure that it was useful for Buddhist practice. As for whether it could suppress the heart fire, he could neither confirm nor deny it, and it was all based on speculation.
However, with Huiyuan's cultivation, even if he opened the five senses of eyes, ears, mouth, nose and body in the next forty or fifty years, it would take at least the same amount of time to be effective.

After retracting his thoughts, Shi Xuan happened to hear the two screams in the silent night sky. At the same time, Gu Canghai and Wei Peining were also awakened. After the two people unfolded their consciousness and spiritual awareness, they looked at Shi Xuan with strange expressions: "Express My brother and my cousin were frightened to death in their dreams." They seemed to be asking if it was Shi Xuan who did it, but they believed that Shi Xuan must have a reason for it, otherwise a high-ranking man would be guilty of dealing with two mortals.
Shi Xuan said calmly: "Their tip-off led to Lieutenant General Zhang of Lingxin Mansion ambushing him outside the courtyard, but I sent him away."
Wei Peining's anger welled up. She thought that these two relatives were at most afraid of being implicated and wanted her and others to leave quickly. This was understandable, but she didn't expect that they were so vicious and didn't care about their feelings at all. Now, this kind of ending is really deserved, so he said bitterly: "You deserve to die."
Shi Xuan just did it casually, not caring about those two people at all, and didn't even bother to take action directly. He just let them get a little bit of the aura of hell.
"But it's not appropriate for us to stay here. After all, the deputy general disappeared nearby, which might lead to tracing. In addition, my uncle's son and grandson died, and there are only a few great-grandchildren left. I'm afraid he will turn against him." Gu Canghai suggested three times. The person left overnight, and then erased the memory of the Fang family before leaving.
But when he was speaking, Shi Xuan had already finished the matter and said, "I just erased all the memories and other traces of the three of us in the entire town."
But Shi Xuan had no objection to leaving overnight. After all, a lieutenant and so many masters were missing. There would definitely be a big shock in Lingxin Mansion, and it might attract the immortal King Zhennan.
Gu Canghai and Wei Peining were stunned. They didn't expect that Shi Xuan would be so quick and easy to finish the matter as he spoke. Neither the two of them nor their previous generation had ever seen the real Yuanshen. For Yuanshen The strength of the series was all guessed based on Taoist books. At this time, I felt that Shi Xuan's strength was unfathomable and his magical power was vast. At the same time, he regained some confidence in Taoist practice. At least after he achieved Yuan Shen, he was no worse than a martial artist. Therefore, for The goals of my own practice are clearer and full of expectations.
Afterwards, the family of three left Jiyi Town overnight.
…………
Wanren Ridge is the dividing line between Tiannan Province and the prosperous heart of the dynasty. It looks like a swimming dragon, with steep mountains and forests, and the highest point is 10,000 feet high. It is a beautiful place in the south. It is said to be one of the five dragon veins of the dynasty.
Many years ago, when Taoism and Buddhism were prosperous, there were numerous sects, Taoist temples, and temples on Wanren Mountain. But now, except for some major sects that are occupied by martial arts monks, the rest are all deserted, with only dilapidated buildings as a means of transportation. A place for pedestrians to take shelter from the rain.
A group of officers escorted a dozen unkempt prisoners into a dilapidated Taoist temple. The leading innate master said: "I wanted to climb over this small ridge and go to the mansion to spend the night. Unexpectedly, there was a heavy rain. Let's go tonight." Let's settle down here in Xiaopoguan." He has condensed his Gang Qi, and is not afraid of heavy rain. However, the cultivation of his officers and soldiers is uneven, and they cannot forcefully climb the mountain in this environment.
Dozens of his officers cheered, and some kicked the prisoner on the back: "You who practice evil and demonic arts, why don't you hurry up and light a fire for me!"
Among the dozen or so prisoners, eight or nine were monks, and the rest were two men and two women. They gathered together and seemed to have a close relationship.
Among them, the delicate girl was picking up straw and broken wood on the ground and whispered to the other three: "Father, mother, brother, what should we do now? Are we just going to be taken to Tiannan Province and killed?" She looked frightened and uneasy.
The middle-aged man, whose bun was broken up and his Taoist robe was full of holes, comforted his daughter and said, "Xiuxiu, don't be afraid. Dad heard that those martial arts monks relied heavily on elixirs before God's will. But in alchemy, we can't compare to us Taoist monks, and your father and I happen to be good at alchemy, so we can only be slaves and maids, and we won't lose our lives."
Before the girl Xiuxiu had time to answer, the leading innate warrior Fang Jing came over with a smile and said: "I didn't expect you, Mr. Wu, to have some knowledge. If you had known this, why would you have taken your family to hide in Wanren Ridge? This made me want to go into the mountains to hunt you down. This little lady, you are actually only in the Qi cultivation period, and you are not a Taoist monk. It is not too late to correct your evil ways. I think you are as beautiful as a flower, so why not let me arrest you? I will be my concubine, and I will keep your family safe." As he said this, he put his hand on the girl's face.
Wu Enxiu's eyes widened, he leaned back, avoided Fang Jing's hand, and took a few steps back. Fang Jing was furious when he saw this: "If you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with a drink. I want to see that you never obey!" After sealing Wu Enxiu's acupuncture points, she was about to be taken to the backyard of the Taoist temple.
The other three members of the Wu family were held down by other officials, and they were wearing shackles that restricted the power of their souls. They could only look at the room with their faces flushed and their eyes naked.
At this time, a strong wind blew, and the door of the Taoist temple opened with a creak, and a man and a woman walked in. The man was wearing green clothes, with jade trees facing the wind, and the woman was wearing a white cloak. She was pretty and charming, holding a chubby baby in her arms. The baby looks like a fairy companion in the painting, otherworldly.
