466, The lineage of the former emperor (1/2)
The raging black fire soared into the sky, embedded in the thick moonlight, yet distinct from the night!
The black fire seemed to turn into a huge claw,
Flooded half of Kyoto,
Coming towards Zhaoti Temple!
Jianzhen's shadow clasped his hands together at this time, and uttered illusory syllables in his mouth: "Mum-bah-bah-bah-bah-"
The sound of chanting filled the middle courtyard of Zhaoti Temple,
Submerged the ‘laughing clock’ on the attic of the central hall!
"Mumbling, murmuring, murmuring, murmuring, murmuring -"
The voices of countless monks chanting in unison burst out from the laughing clock——
"Nam Amitabha, murmur Amitabha——"
The Buddha’s name is solemn!
The sound of reciting the Buddha's name like a torrent,
Directly wash away the bloody moonlight spreading in the sky!
At the same time, Jianzhen's shadow, with its long and curly hair, filled the night sky and wrapped around the bleeding moon!
That 'Half Month Reading' was entangled in his three thousand feet long hair, and no trace of blood dripped from it!
distance,
In the huge claws formed by the black fire of Amaterasu, there are tablets floating one after another - they are the 'Emperor's Lineage' that is superior to all the ministers, aristocratic families and wealthy families in the entire Dongliu Island!
Each tablet represents an ‘Emperor’ who once appeared in the history of Dongliu Island!
A little bit of the consciousness of the dead floated on the imperial tablets. The consciousness of the dead was not burned out in the Amaterasu black fire, but instead condensed into a pale human face!
The face is full of ferocity,
His eyes were empty as he looked toward Jianzhen's shadow, and he let out a low roar: "Breaking the separation of yin and yang - I will die - and all the people of Dongliu Island will have to be buried with me!
all your achievements,
All came to nothing! "
"rest assured!"
In the sky, another Jianzhen shadow wearing a cassock stained by the blood of the moon made an illusory and cold voice: "The old monk will not destroy the balance of yin and yang on Dongliu Island, but only slightly interferes with Tsukiyomi.
When it appears this time, it will kill as many people as possible, and the amount will not be less! "
"You must keep your word!" The pale human face in Amaterasu Black Fire's claws made a layered sound and closed its eyes.
The black fire claws, which exuded a strong and mysterious charm, stagnated in mid-air.
Not moving forward,
He never returned to the imperial palace.
As if to sit there and watch the actions of Jianzhen Shadow. If Jianzhen Shadow really does what it says and meets its requirements, it will immediately retreat to the imperial palace. And if Jianzhen Shadow finally regrets, it will also indulge the world. Shine black fire, flooding the entire Heianjing, and even the entire Dongliu Island.
The entire civilization on the island was destroyed in one fell swoop!
in the sky,
The shadow of the blood-red cassock Jianzhen, which supported the "Half Moon Reading" and prevented it from spreading the blood-stained moonlight all over the earth, suddenly surged with raging fire. The fire burned, and there were waves of sounds of knocking on wooden fish. , spread in all directions!
Su Wu and his party, who met in Zhaoti Temple, all heard the sound of wooden fish.
An Gang and others didn't know why.
Su Wu frowned as he looked at the red cassock Jianzhen's shadow that appeared again in the sky.
They followed Jianzhen's shadow and passed through the Yuanxing Gate behind it.
After entering Zhaoti Temple where there was no influence from Ban Yuedu's power, everything was intact as before, and no two Jianzhen shadows appeared, he completed one task according to the instructions of the Jianzhen shadow in front of Yuanxing Gate.
How could the shadow of the red cassock appear in the sky today, and even the half-month-old woman who was entangled and submerged by long black hair like a long black river, and the black fire of Amaterasu that had never appeared before?
Is the Zhaoti Temple that you and others entered just now an illusory, mirrored world?
After he imprisoned the ‘Female Monk’, ‘Huo Qianfang’, and ‘Laughing Bell’ in accordance with Jianzhen Shadow’s instructions,
Does the mirror world cover the real world?
Or has it become reality itself?
Ping Lingzi was also paying attention to the changes in the sky at this time. She saw the red cassock's Jianzhen shadow surging with blazing fire, and the sound of tapping wooden fish was heard in the fire——
Seeing this scene, her consciousness reflexively felt a slight pain as if it was being burned!
She immediately spoke up, pointed to the red cassock Jianzhen's shadow in the sky, and said with great certainty: "That is the power of Huo Qianfang!
The old monk in the sky is using the strange power of 'Huo Qianfang'!
We helped him seal off the Huoqianfang, the Female Monk, and the Laughing Bell.
So now he can use the power of these three Zhaoti Temple Ligui at will! "
Su Wu looked at Ping Lingzi.
The shadow of Jianzhen in front of Yuanxing Gate reminded him that he alone could not suppress Huo Qianfang, the female monk, and the Xiaozhong in a short period of time, but the woman behind him, Ping Lingzi, could help him Seal the town'Huo Qianfang' to reduce his pressure.
In this way, he taught Ping Lingzi all the hand seals needed to seal Huo Qianfang.
Therefore, Ping Lingzi was able to see the existence of Jianzhen's shadow.
"So, it seems that the Zhaoti Temple we entered through Yuanxing Gate is indeed a place similar to a mirror world.
In this mirror world, there are three serious mysteries related to truth identification.
Huo Qianfang represents the obsession of discerning truth and becoming a Buddha.
The female monk may be proof that Jianzhen once maintained his "human nature" - people have seven emotions and six desires, and the female monk may be the embodiment of Jianzhen's ordinary emotions.
The 'Laughing Bell' is the 'despair' of Jianzhen.
When I was suppressing laughter, I heard countless bright women's laughter, refreshing men's laughter, kind old man's laughter, and other kinds of laughter. In the deepest part, I heard the cry of a person.
The cry was extremely desperate. "Su Wu opened his mouth to summarize.
When he sealed the town's laughing clock,
Not only in the deepest part of the many happy laughters, but also heard the desperate cry of one person.
I also heard the man’s words: “Have great ambitions and cultivate yourself hard!
Give, keep the precepts, endure humiliation, be diligent, meditate, and contemplate!
Generate bodhicitta and follow the bodhisattva path!
Become a Buddha! Become a Buddha!
Gui became a Buddha!
All sentient beings have become Buddhas!
But I can't become a Buddha!
Why can't I become a Buddha? ! "
The overwhelming sense of despair in those words almost infected Su Wu's emotions!
Fortunately, at the last moment, he successfully sealed the town of Xiaozhong.
"With his own strength, Jianzhen seems to be unable to restrain his emotions and desires.
Therefore, we took action to enable him to restrain the evil evolution of these desires and make them work for his own use. "Su Wu deduced, feeling extremely horrified in his heart.
What has become of true identification?
His desire for Tamamo Mae's appearance caused him to grow a full head of hair and become the 'Yuanxingmen'.
His obsession, despair, and emotions evolved into three kinds of strange things.
So what has become of him?
Could it be possible that the lust of an ordinary person could evolve into these evil deceptions? !
Totally impossible!
Now, Su Wu still has a question: If the Zhaoti Temple behind Yuanxing Gate is a 'mirror image' of the real Zhaoti Temple, it would be too unbelievable for Jianzhen to make the mirror image cover reality and become the real world!
Or maybe I was wrong in my guess.
The ‘Zhaoti Temple’ in Yuanxingmen is not a mirror world;
The ‘Zhaoti Temple’ that fell into ruins in front of Yuanxing Gate is not the real world either.
Everything is actually ‘empty’.
It is originally ‘nothingness’,
Is it just because I have a "discriminating mind" that I saw Zhaoti Temple in two different states and compared them, and thus made the distinction between "empty" and "real", "empty" and "existent"?
No Bodhi tree, nor stand mirror.
There is nothing there, so where is the dust?
"The moon - the moon in the sky moved and fell!"
Thoughts were still swirling in Su Wu's mind. At this moment, several warriors next to him suddenly shouted, their voices full of uncontrollable fear!
Ping Lingzi frowned and looked at the sky, saying nothing.
After looking at Ping Lingzi's expression, Su Wu turned to look up at the dark sky.
——The bleeding moonlight embedded in the center of the dark sky was now entangled by those dense long hair, as well as the flames and smoke overflowing from the red cassock Jianzhen's shadow, and was being dragged diagonally downward!
The power of Yuanxingmen and Huoqianfang suppressed ‘Ban Yue Du’,
Keep pulling it in a certain direction!
Su Wu and others were standing in the temple, but they couldn't see where the 'Ban Yue Du' was finally dragged.
He glanced at Ping Lingzi, and the other party immediately understood.
A couple of men and women climbed up the wall of the middle hall of Zhaoti Temple, climbed up the high wall in twos and twos, and reached the top of the hall!
In the towering palace,
The two of them looked far into the distance, and could see the direction in which the 'Half Moon Reading', which was being pulled continuously by hair and fireworks, was falling!
It’s around the imperial residence of ‘Heian Kyo’.
This is the area where the mansions belonging to successive ministers and wealthy families are located!
The Kinjo family, the Tojo family, the Fujiwara family and other aristocratic families all gathered in the area around the Imperial Palace!
‘Jianzhen’ dragged ‘Ban Yue Du’ to the place where these aristocratic families have lived for generations, leaving ‘Ban Yue Du’ hanging in the air, with no other movement for the time being.
"In the Imperial Palace, there is such a strange existence as 'Amaterasu Black Fire'.
How can the emperor sleep well when he lives in the imperial palace? "
Looking at the hand of Amaterasu's black fire frozen in mid-air, as well as the imperial lineage tablets floating in it, and then looking at the half-moon reading hanging above the heads of the distant clans, Su Wu casually asked Ping Lingzi. .
Ping Lingzi turned his head and looked at him doubtfully.
Su Wu frowned, wondering why Ping Lingzi looked at him with such surprised eyes?
Is there anything wrong with my words?
Under his gaze, Ping Lingzi pursed her lips slightly, and finally said softly: "Don't you know, Jun? The Emperor has never been a 'person'.
The emperor himself is a ‘god’;
God does not need rest.
The lineage of emperors is all the traces left by Amaterasu in the human world.
Why do they need to fear the fire of Amaterasu? "
Isn't it just a way of saying that the emperor is a god to decorate the royal family?
This lady from your noble family can't even see through this?
Or have you actually misunderstood something?
Su Wu's brows were still frowning.
Ping Lingzi observed his expression and said at the right time: "Ministers who are listed as immortals can enter the palace to participate in public discussions.
Do you know what the scene is like in the imperial palace? "
"Has never been included in the Immortal Book,
I don’t know what the scene was like during the court’s public discussion. "Su Wu replied.
He didn't even know what the scene of the court's public discussion had to do with his doubts.
