Chapter 1168 Similar Trees
The realm where the ancient Fusang tree is located seems to be wrapped in illusion, isolated in the sea of clouds and the unreal world. It is like a mirage, out of reach. It was not until the powerful Luo Jiao who got the idea used the restraint treasure to break it forcibly that it "returned" Entering the real world, you can vaguely see the vast ocean and the fairy island and sacred mountains inside through the gap.
But after all, this is the realm involving the ancient emperor. Even if there is a gap, it is still a realm of its own, high above, with the seven seas visible, like Yuxu Palace, like the Nine Heavens, like the Dinghai Pearl. Therefore, with Shaoxuan and When the two legendary powers Xi'e stepped in, the Eight Treasures Merit Pool of the Oriental Glazed Pure Land suddenly rippled and fluctuated, making it difficult to clearly see the scene inside, as if the signal was being interfered with and distorted in a live broadcast.
Moonlight Bodhisattva was performing the Fearless Seal, with countless faces in all directions, and said with a slight smile: "Donor, please see, what is the difference between coming and not coming, observing and not observing?"
The Sambhogakaya and the ubiquitous legend are similar in appearance but different in reality. The legend sublimates itself to a higher level state, similar to the Nine Netherworlds of the Immortal World, covering the real world and the caves and heavens of the universe, and has no influence on them at slightly lower levels. It is everywhere, but within the same level, it does not have the ability to be everywhere. Just like when Guldo and others planned to get rid of Su Wuming, in order to break this "characteristic", they deliberately lured him to Yaochi.
The Sambhogakaya is getting closer and closer to the corresponding Dharma principles and avenues, assimilating bit by bit, and finally replacing it. Wherever there is Dharma practice, the Sambhogakaya can be seen, so it is everywhere, so close to the end of the world, and at the level of perfection like Amitabha, it is even more If the great road is within me, it will be there. If I do not deliberately suppress similar principles or great roads, and replace them with my own possessions, evolutions of formations, etc., even in the Nine Netherworlds of the Immortal Realm, the Sambhogakaya can be everywhere!
The realm around the ancient Fusang tree has obviously replaced the principles of heaven and earth with its own principles. Both the Sambhogakaya and the legendary Moonlight Bodhisattva cannot clearly see the interior, so there is no difference between coming or not coming, observing or not observing.
With the ability to awaken the sword to the legendary level, Meng Qi can still lend it to Shaoxuan on a ship!
Meng Qi smiled and said nothing. The ripples in the Eight Treasures Merit Pool suddenly subsided. Purple colors emerged, crackling sounds, and lightning flashes. A clear scene soon emerged, with towering ancient trees in the distance. Immortal islands are lined up nearby, the water waves below are golden, and sacred mountains stand all around. It is really a bit tall and majestic as the residence of ancient immortals.
This is from Jue Dao’s perspective!
This is what it saw and heard with the help of its special connection with Meng Qi!
"The pure land is pure, the glass is used to judge the mind, there is a Buddha pond to watch, and there are Bodhisattvas to talk to, why don't you come?" Meng Qi said with a smile, looking like a dashing Taoist who came to sit quietly and read Huang Ting in his leisure time. He seemed not to be worried about the ancient fusang tree at all. , no anxiety, irritability, eagerness and other emotions.
Not for nothing, Meng Qi could clearly feel their existence, and even examined them coldly, going back to the source, analyzing which memories, which experiences, which habits, which indescribable throbbing...
This is a strange experience. Without giving up the changes in thinking patterns brought about by martial arts strength, he cannot actively "isolate" certain memories, experiences and instincts, and build new cognitions and new perspectives again, from another perspective. Look at yourself, see through phenomena, and see the different sides of your "true self."
As soon as they entered the realm where the ancient Fusang tree was located, Shaoxuan and Xi'e suddenly burst like water bubbles, leaving no trace. Meng Qi would not have been able to detect their movements if Juedao hadn't provided what he saw.
The purpose of this trip is to snatch the things left by the previous generation of Daluo Saint. It is a good choice to hide close and attack suddenly. It can avoid being caught in the fierce legendary battle. Shaoxuan and Xi'e, who have no friendship with Meng Qi, of course Want to be less trapped.
Legend has it that the light escapes so fast that in order for Meng Qi to see it clearly, the images sent back by Jue Dao are delayed. As they move forward, the fairy islands and sacred mountains are completely exposed to the water, covered with pavilions and pavilions. , either simple or elegant, enough to make people imagine the grand occasion of ancient times. However, these fairy buildings are covered with dust, and many of them have naturally decayed and collapsed, as if they have lost all their glory and returned to ordinary, infected by time.
Other than that, it was so quiet that there was no sound at all, no birds, no fish, no life.
"Even if the Immortal Family Cave has gone through eternity, its power has evaporated, and its restrictions have declined, it should not be so decayed and filled with so much dust..." Meng Qi said doubtfully.
Moonlight Bodhisattva's voice seemed to come from different universes and merged into one: "When the demons were in chaos on the earth, several legends around the ancient Fusang tree suddenly moved away and refused to reveal the reason. Not long after that, the fairyland was isolated from the outside world and there was no trace of anything. Living things can come out, but legends cannot enter. Looking at it now, there must have been changes at that time. "
"What change happened?" Meng Qi frowned slightly. Things involving Donghuang Taiyi were always full of weirdness, which made him instinctively wary and taboo.
The monsters suppressed under the tombs of the nine immortals are shouting "Tai Yi". The Yellow Turban Taoist can borrow the power of blessing from this great figure who is said to have fallen for an era, and the ancient fuso tree was born from his blood when he fell... …
With Xiao Sang's level of strength at that time, it was impossible for her to enter the realm of the Fuso Ancient Tree on her own. So did she find the legacy of the legendary power that she had migrated away from? Meng Qi thought calmly, while also examining his own thoughts, tracing back to the source, and understanding the origin.
The accumulation of dust on the sacred mountain of Immortal Island obviously also made Shaoxuan and Xi'e wary. The flight of light slowed down slightly and went around in a circle, for fear of encountering something unknown and terrifying.
At this time, Moonlight Bodhisattva seemed to answer Meng Qi's question and said: "The Golden Emperor sent people into the Fusang Ancient Tree Realm, probably not only to look for the legacy of the previous generation of saints, but also to figure out the changes here and find certain things or clues. "
Meng Qi pondered for a moment, with many thoughts and memories rolling around in his mind. He peeled off the ones that were heavily affected by his emotions. He shook his head and smiled: "Sometimes, I wonder if the Golden Emperor is deliberately trying to get rid of Xiao Sang's hidden dangers for convenience. Do other important things."
"It's very possible, but more likely it's both." Moonlight Bodhisattva spoke calmly, looking equally indifferent to things in the Fusang Ancient Tree realm, and then said, "Donor Su, in fact, we must understand that all appearances are not the same. , in order to see the Tathagata, why should you abandon the near and seek the far? You possess the Eight-nine Mysterious Skills and are good at transformation. Every time you change, only the true spirit remains unchanged. In this way, you can experience the senses of different creatures and their different feelings about the same thing. For example, 'True Self'..."
Meng Qi was suddenly stunned. He had once emphasized that the Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques used the method of changing different things to explore the appearance and non-identity, but he didn't think about it at all at that time!
"Have you recently relied more on the Nine Seals of Yuanshi and been blinded by them?" He asked himself.
Moonlight Bodhisattva smiled and said: "No, it's your eagerness to achieve the legend that blinded you. A very simple idea, if what you have now can help you achieve the legend quickly, then you should already have a clue. Since there is no clue , indicating that what you want is outside. Since what you want is outside, there is no doubt that you will ignore what you have. "
"So that's it." Meng Qi was stunned for a moment, seemed to have some realization, and then suddenly laughed, "But it's not too late now, please ask Bodhisattva to recall the fragments of my memory."
Martial arts strength is lost and memory ability is reduced, but this does not mean that the memory is lost, it is just that I can't remember it. They are still hidden deep in the heart in the form of fragments.
Even the memories of past reincarnations can be stored deep in the heart, let alone this life?
And does this count as "immutability" that does not depend on the body or the unity of the three souls?
At this time, Shaoxuan and Xi'e had arrived near the ancient fusang tree, changing from a distant view to a close view.
This ancient tree stands towering in the sky, with its roots deep in the ocean. Its trunk forms a giant island and turns into a valley. It is divided into two trees, one is the highest, yet heavy, and the other is deep, yet ethereal. Relying on each other and climbing up, many branches grew. Each branch gave people a feeling of being close to the real world. On the branches, there were mulberry leaves growing, bathed in the sunlight, like fire, and the scorching heat was obvious. , it was hazy inside, like a square universe.
Meng Qi had seen similar things before, and that was his own tree of great avenues!
Is this someone deliberately using the blood of Taiyi to cultivate something that can replace the tree of the avenue? As soon as Meng Qi had this idea, Moonlight Bodhisattva gave him a pointer, awakening his memory of turning into a mouse and an eagle.
In front of the "valley" where the ancient fusang tree is, there is a figure sitting cross-legged, holding a glass lamp in his hand. It is the Luo Jiao's lantern envoy. He has no other actions, as if he is waiting for something. On top of the ancient tree, Sha Wujing stands. Climb little by little.
