God and mystery

Chapter 148 Dao Contest!

Did a man become a god, or did a god become a man, or is that strange white-faced martial artist the future image of this noble Taoist in soap clothes?

Seeing this situation for the first time, Xu Hongru could understand why everyone in Li Shanhe paid special attention to Ji Xiang.

No matter how he looked at it, he felt that Ji Xiang was only in the sixth supernatural power level, and when he entered the East Mahayana Temple, he actually entered two East Mahayana temples, Ji Xiang was in the Yang Temple, and those two guys entered the Yin Temple.

The East Mahayana Temple is a temple with two sides, Yin and Yang. The Yin Temple is like the shadow of the Yang Temple. People with Yin Qi will enter the Yin Temple, and people with Yang Qi will come to the Yang Temple.

The Yin Temple is the den of the disciples and grandchildren of the Nine Lotus Fox Demon. It is located in the land boundary. The so-called land boundary is a small world created by land gods and monsters. It has a limited scope and is closely connected with the yang world. The method is also very simple. Cutting off a part of the space in the Yangshi, and then hiding it, this kind of boundary is formed.

In terms of behavior, it is almost the same as enclosing the land
If there is no magic circle to cover it, it will be easily exposed, so it is also called "secret place" in the practice world, which is actually equivalent to a small secret place or secret base.

Ji Xiang looked at the bronze mirror, which reflected his own white-faced real martial arts figure, so he couldn't help squinting his eyes. This bronze mirror is indeed a treasure, but he didn't see the future
"Fellow Daoist, the actual use of your thing does not match the propaganda. How can a monk lie?"

Xu Hongru was stunned: "This poor man doesn't know how to take a good look, maybe there is something wrong with the mirror."

He took the mirror and rubbed it in his hand, but what he thought in his heart was, this Ji Xiang is really magical, no wonder people in Lishanhe attach so much importance to him, but he didn't realize how profound his morality is, even the temple of yin and yang has two sides in one body. I don't know, but if it is abnormal, Ji Xiang also gives Xu Hongru a feeling that he is not easy to provoke.

I always feel that this person in front of me is here to find fault.

But it's the first time for everyone to meet, so there's no need to show your face to make trouble, right?
"How about it, fellow daoist, is there something wrong with the mirror?"

Ji Xiang asked, how did Xu Hongru know what was wrong? This mirror was also a magic weapon he picked up. Now that his magic power is low, it is still difficult to develop all the magical functions of this Great Tang mirror. The limit of what can be done.

The Eastern Mahayana Sect is a sub-sect of the Wenxiang Sect. Xu Hongru started his business by relying on this bronze mirror and a few heretical techniques of exorcising gods and ghosts, and cutting paper into soldiers. It is precisely because of this bronze mirror that He was able to step by step from a small person to the current position of the leader of the Eastern Mahayana Sect. He has a great reputation in various folk Dharma teachings and Bailian Dao.

"I don't know, I don't know. It may be that Dao brother will often serve Zhenwu in the future, so he has a white face, which means that Dao brother will achieve a good result. If this is the case, it is gratifying to congratulate."

"I only hope that the Taoist brother will practice diligently and be successful in his practice in the future. He will spread the magic and save all sentient beings."

Xu Hongru's words were very sincere, and Ji Xiang couldn't find the problem for a while, and there was no reason to do it when he was about to smash the temple.

As for the little fox and Feng Shusheng, the two suddenly disappeared, and Ji Xiang was definitely a problem with the temple, not because of the crowds.

The Taoist in front of him suddenly came forward to talk to him. The root of all these problems may be their actions.

Ji Xiang immediately thought of the people in Lishanhe. If he left Shuntian all the way, he might have to go through 81 hardships like Tang Seng.

But this is just speculation, and there is still no actual evidence.

"Fellow Taoist, can you let me see the scriptures and classics of your sect? To tell you the truth, I am in the Shuntian Mansion, and the current Holy Master personally conferred the title of Daoist Grandmaster. In terms of rank, I am not boastful, but indeed very high."

"If the Taoist teachings are correct, it will help the king and the people. The poor Taoist should submit the scriptures to the court. Even if it is a folk law, it can become one of the orthodox lines of my Taoist school like the Lushan School."

"Don't you see that Patriarch Jingyang beheaded the dragon to control the water, set up nine big copper pillars, and bestowed the gods with wonderful skills to help the real king?"

The Lushan sect was not a Taoist sect at first, but a witch religion, but later it also became a lineage of the Taoist sect, and it is known as "the most domineering spell in the world"!
Of course it is domineering, if you disagree, you will stick a knife in your head, and then carry a mountain of knives, step on the sea of ​​fire, and shoot at you with a firearm on your body. The spell is almost non-defensive. The principle is that attack is defense. I have to live.

Ji Xiang had no way to formulate words in front of him, so he could only find a way to look at the scriptures and teachings of the other party.When Xu Hongru heard it, he was actually a little tempted. He learned about Ji Xiang's identity from the people of Li Shanhe, and he understood that as long as he got into the relationship with Ji Xiang, even if he betrayed King Lu, he would not have nowhere to go, and he could even transform himself. Become a legitimate Taoist Dharma.

And he was also delaying time, the two people hadn't been sent to the casino yet, so he took out the classics, and Ji Xiang felt a little familiar as soon as the classics were in his hands.

This feel. Isn't this the feel of the batch of paper talismans from the Shuntian Hanjing Factory?

"You printed scriptures, where did the paper come from? I'm just asking."

Xu Hongru was surprised, of course he said that it was printed randomly locally, it is impossible to say that he bought it from the Shuntian Hanjing Factory, anyway, the gang of Hanjing Factory printed everything as long as they paid for it.

Ji Xiang snorted twice, and then read the scriptures, "The Precious Volume of Huangji Golden Elixir Nine Lotus Zhengxin, Converting to Trueness and Returning Home".

The name is extremely long, and Ji Xiang flipped through the whole article. There are indeed methods of practice, but some of them have not been cultivated to the key points. This book does not exist in the wish, it is a purely printed matter.

"In the whole article, there are three religions at the end of the kalpa, Wuxiang Kalpa, Solemn Kalpa, and XingXiu Kalpa. This world is experiencing catastrophe and the end of the world. Believers in this religion can be liberated, but the method of liberation is the guidance of qigong, which is the method of inner alchemy. One, this is the real skill."

Ji Xiang frowned. This is indeed in line with some teachings, but there is still a shadow of the White Lotus Sect.

Because normal folk Dharma teachings value the Dharma rather than the scriptures, and focus on practicality, Dharma teachings are generally passed down from master to student and do not wantonly gather incense. Anyone who does this must have elements of the White Lotus Sect.

This kind of scripture is a catastrophe for the whole scriptures at the beginning. The flavor of the White Lotus Sect is so strong that it almost overflows.

Seeing Ji Xiang's frown, Xu Hongru knew that it was the belief in catastrophe in the scriptures that made him unhappy, but he still had a little thought, so he explained:

"The so-called catastrophes are mostly illusory, but they are all for the sake of saving the world! People are born with misery. If you don't fabricate illusory catastrophes and let them believe that their sufferings are from catastrophes, not from fate, then They will have the motivation to continue to survive. Isn’t it a good thing for the court to have stable people’s hearts?”

"Some people are born humble, even if they raise their heads to ask the sky several times, how can the sky respond to the inquiries of mortals? People are like strong grass, no matter how strong the wind blows, they will still survive tenaciously."

At this time, the two had come to a remote place, avoiding some pilgrims.

As soon as Ji Xiang heard this argument, he laughed twice, combined the scriptures, and threw them to Xu Hongru.

"Have you heard of Mafeisan?"

Xu Hongru said: "I know, it's the so-called Mafeisan in Qing Nang Shu, the medicine used by the genius doctor Hua Tuo?"

Ji Xiang: "It's said in Qing Nang's book that taking this medicine can make people anesthetized, and they don't know human affairs, and let others break them without knowing the pain or itching!"

"Then do you know that there is any record in the "Vinaya Miscellaneous Things" brought by Master Xuanzang in the Tang Dynasty? Let me tell you, there is a strange flower that is native to Tianzhu. It can cure diarrhea, but the ancient Indians made it into pills, lit a fire and inhaled its fragrance, which is addictive.”

"In "Miscellaneous Things about Vinaya", the king of Tianzhu suffers from a painful disease. In order to relieve his pain, the Buddha instructed him to smoke medicinal smoke, which is this kind of flower."

In the Han Dynasty, there was already the name of poppy, but Ji Xiang used a strange flower to refer to it in order to prevent the White Lotus Sect from producing drugs, and did not tell Xu Hongru the real name of the flower.

Moreover, the descriptions in the Buddhist scriptures translated by Master Xuanzang are very clear, and there are even methods on how to make them.

Back then, the Buddha was a mortal at the beginning, and he didn’t understand the principles of medicine, but the poison of poppy can indeed relieve people’s pain. That was a thing in BC. People of that era can’t be expected to have an overly brilliant understanding of medicine. After all, Shennong died after tasting a hundred herbs. Well, if you don’t take it, how will you know what the medicine is for?

Xu Hongru already understood what Ji Xiang was going to say, and Ji Xiang also said to him:
"Believe in nothingness, don't rise to the higher hall, lazy spirit and body, only know to indulge in illusion and forget yourself, look at the pleasure of the afterlife and ignore the real life of this life, if this is not evil, what is it? !"

"Fellow daoists must keep their hearts in check, and don't confuse the people with illusory catastrophes. You seem to relieve their pain and let them find a spiritual sustenance, but in fact you lead them into another spiritual abyss. "

"Fellow Daoists should also remember that according to the Law of the Ming Dynasty, anyone who creates prophecies, demon books, demon rumors, and rumors to confuse the public will be executed."

Xu Hongru was not convinced, and forgot to guide Ji Xiang for a while, and knew that Ji Xiang's words at this time were a warning, but he felt a surge of anger from his chest, instead his eyes widened, and he argued with Ji Xiang dissatisfied:

"Fellow Daoist, what you said is wrong! Could it be that we use the scriptures to save the world, is it considered to deceive the public? The government has already admitted it! If you follow the words of the Taoist friend, there is no righteous method outside the eight places of Buddhism. It's evil!"

"You also said that even the Buddha taught the king of Tianzhu to take medicinal smoke, just to relieve his pain! If my teachings are like medicinal smoke, you are not belittling me, but praising me, isn't it? To say that I am doing exactly what the Buddha did?"

"The king can use medicinal smoke to relieve the pain. Who should I pray for relief from the pain of these living people? Doesn't this just mean that the poor are doing the right thing!"

"Everyone in the world will be saved. In this age of poverty and hardship, if there is no support from the soul, what kind of things will they do!"

Of course, Xu Hongru himself also colluded with the government, Lu Wang, and Li Shanhe, but the bottom line in his heart retreated again and again, and he always warned himself that what he did was purely for the sake of all beings and the common people. external force
It's just a curve to save the people!As long as you stick to your heart and make sure that there are no problems in the key points, isn't that all right?
Xu Hongru knows even more that when it comes to cleaning up other sects, the Taoist sect is regarded as the old patriarch, and pulling out the sword is to kill the ghosts of the six heavens, but Xu Hongru is even more thinking, since you want to use the principles of the Buddha to warn the world, then I I will use the principles of the Buddha to refute you, and it depends on how you bring up some ancestors of Taoism and Buddha, and say your crappy principles, and see whether the believers believe in you or me.

You said that the people should not look for spiritual sustenance, so I said you are not close to the people; you said that the people should not anesthetize themselves, but the people just follow their own way and do not worship your righteous gods and gods.

It just depends on seeing your impatience, scratching your ears and scratching your cheeks, and finally walking away; if you have a bit of demeanor, you will probably laugh at yourself, raise your price, and then walk out of the door with your tail between your legs.

If you really have the ability to turn all the believers in this temple right, so that they no longer believe in their own teachings, then you have real ability!
After hearing his argument, Ji Xiang let out another long laugh:
"Only those who do evil can know the outline of kindness; only those who are insane can be compared with those who are sober; only those who have noble literati and bureaucrats can distinguish between high and low; only those who do harm can know what is good and evil difference."

"Moreover, after the effect of the drug smoke is over, it will make people addicted. If you don't get the drug smoke for a day, then you will go crazy and look like a madman."

There was a loud bang in Xu Hongru's heart!
Just listening to Ji Xiang's voice is like a blow to the head, Hong Zhong Da Lu!

"Relieve the pain, can it solve the pain? You don't know, there is the following paragraph in the scriptures, which roughly means that the king asked the Buddha if taking medicinal smoke can relieve his own disease, and the Buddha 'did not listen'!"

"Listening to promises means listening to promises, and the Buddha did not make such a promise."

"Suffering comes from heretics, and the birth of disease is also caused by the change of qi, but too much indulging in fantasy and ignoring the real pain and disease, you deserve to die, and you deserve to die!"

"Liezi Zeng said: There is vitality, there is form, it is all illusion! Keep staring at illusory things, but still want to see the real truth, and even realize the real wish? Absurd!"

"Good deeds do not come from heaven, and evil results are also man-made! If you want to see the wonderful things come true, you should go to the evil ways first!"

"Everyone has weaknesses and difficulties, that's why they are used by you. Even if I save one person and save ten people, maybe some of these people will come back to worship you again. Under the factors of laziness and ignorance, there are people in this world. Incorrigible man!"

"But I didn't come to the world to debate the doctrine with you. Of course, even if I debated, you are not my opponent. Your reasoning is difficult to justify, and you can only take it out of context. You are destined to be unable to win in words. There are great believers and incense among them, because the people only see the life in front of them, which is the most important thing to them."

"Do you dare to make an oath of heaven, saying that you have always worked hard for the people without asking for anything in return?"

Xu Hongru didn't answer, and he didn't know how to answer. In this world, there is really a vow of heaven, and it will really be fulfilled. Of course, he can't have a clear conscience. Only then did he firmly believe that after the spread of Wenxiang Sect, he and other people could live a good life, and if he was profitable, how could others be unprofitable?
So do not answer.

Ji Xiang also said: "So, your actions are doomed to fail. You don't need to hide any more, I hope you rein in the precipice, don't wait until the divine sword is approaching, then you will be sent to Fengdu Hell, and you will never be reborn forever."

Through the previous conversation, Ji Xiang already understood the nature of the other party’s teachings, and Xu Hongru’s heart was also in a mess. At this time, when he was summoned, he saw the paper-cut figurine coming out of the ground, and Xu Hongru told Ji Xiang:
"Those two companions of fellow daoist are now in Milong Casino, as for the location and how to enter"

Xu Hongru told Ji Xiang how to enter the Milong Casino and began to guide him. Ji Xiang took a deep look at him and left the temple.

Looking at Ji Xiang's back, Xu Hongru was in a trance, as if he had lost some important spiritual support, but gradually his expression became ferocious again:
"Whatever you say is doomed to fail, I want to win for you to see. When the time comes, teach the whole world to worship the Xiangjiao, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and they must bow their heads and bow their heads. I will be intoxicated in it every day. I want to make this world's thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, all Falling into the illusion of fragrance, focusing on the illusory world, practicing in the place of madness, you can't extricate yourself from confusion and chaos!"

----

Ji Xiang left the temple, his heart getting colder, and secretly thought that if he hadn't found a reason, he would have torn down the temple on the spot, caught the Taoist in front of him and punched him to death.

"The government actually thinks this sect is an orthodox religion? I should go to the government to ask!"

The fear of destroying the temple is that the government will also become the accomplice of the other party. Now it will be very difficult. The national prestige is shrouded in the government. It is a pity that the national prestige can guard against the real demons and ghosts, but it cannot prevent the greedy people and corruption of nothingness.

Therefore, the government colludes with the demons. Once such a thing happens, it will be very serious, and the government is often reduced to a sanctuary for demons.

Ji Xiang was going to the casino according to the location Xu Hongru gave him, but he didn't expect that a huge monster wind suddenly blew up halfway, and the sky was as dark as midnight, and the blazing red and black air floated like flames, locking Ji Xiang in the In a piece of heaven and earth.

Amidst these evil winds, there is still aura. Ji Xiang actually saw the land god on his side, with a sallow and emaciated look, and his expression was stunned.
"King Milong invites the Taoist priest, see you when you enter the casino! Taoist priest, this is a great joy! The little god first congratulates the Taoist priest, make a fortune!"

Ji Xiang chuckled and focused his gaze:
"You land god, what kind of cult god do you dare to enshrine? I have never heard of the Milong King!"

Seeing Ji Xiang sneering and changing his face, the God of Earth didn't look scared, but acted like a rogue: "The Taoist priest is new here, and he doesn't know the power of the Dragon King. If the Taoist priest is unwilling to follow, he will have to suffer a little bit."

Ji Xiang raised his brows: "It's interesting, I want to see if I'm poor, what kind of thing is the Milong King, who can make you, a little god, dare to be so stubborn in the face of a soap-clothed Taoist priest! Then lead the way!"

"No need to lead the way!"

The land god retreated into the scarlet black demon wind, and a giant demon cast its magic power in the sky. In an instant, the sky was dark, and a blood-red wind swept up and took Ji Xiang away. At this time, Ji Xiang was standing in the blood-red wind, surrounded by strong monsters , but still carrying a lot of incense, the blood-red giant monster in the wind is more than ten feet tall, shaped like a bat, with a head like a donkey, wings like a mat, and eyes like fire.

Neijing Shenpai gave the answer:

[Flying Yaksha: This cloud is brave and strong, soaring into the sky; swimming in the four heavens, everything can be done without hindrance! 】

[Reciting "Langyan Sutra" "The lands of the ten directions are bright and pure; like glass, with a bright moon hanging inside." All the magic power of Feitian Yasha will be sealed for a moment, and he cannot fly to the sky and travel around. If those who practice Buddhism recite, There is a certain chance to influence the kind heart of Feitian Yasha. 】

[Reciting "Leng Yan Sutra" "Seeing newspapers attracts evil results, and seeing karma, when dying, you will see raging fire first, filling the ten directions, and the spiritual consciousness of the dead will fly down and ride in the smoke, and enter the endless prison" will arouse the body of Feitian Yasha All the evil results of karma will be turned into karmic fire to burn them! 】

[This monster is most afraid of firearms! 】

The blood-red wind swept around and arrived at the Milong Casino in a short while. At this time, the underworld manifested, and Ji Xiang saw the way.

It is clearly the scenery of Yangjian, but the surroundings are illusory, and the world changes again, as if there are two heavens and earth in Yangjian, it turns out to be another "secret place"!
The giant monsters brought Ji Xiang without using force. They thought there would be a fierce battle, but now they whispered to each other, they were all ready to watch Ji Xiang's good show, after all, the next thing is the key point.

As soon as Ji Xiang entered the Milong Casino, all the gods, men, demons and ghosts here were gambling, and he saw Yan Yingcai at a glance!

The local Taoist official was obsessed with gambling at this time, and his face was covered with horse tags. Ji Xiang walked over and scolded:
"I asked you to send the talisman, can you send it?"

"What talisman! Don't bother me, I just want to make money now!"

Yan Yingcai looked ferocious and insane as if he had taken drugs, and was even more bewildered. He opened Ji Xiang's hand, and Ji Xiang grabbed his collar and scolded: "You are a Daoist priest, how could you Dare to gamble in this casino run by monsters!"

"What monster, you still dare to call me, you have been brought here too, if you don't want to make money, go away, and ask me for amulets, let's talk about it after I finish the bet!"

Yan Yingcai was completely bewildered, her personality seemed to have changed.

The next moment, Ji Xiang let go, and then the gambling table was directly lifted by Ji Xiang with one hand!
"You dare to touch my cards!"

Yan Yingcai was furious immediately, he rushed forward like a ghost, Ji Xiang punched him in the face with a backhand, and killed him immediately!

In an instant, his brain exploded, and the headless body was blasted out of the door by the force of a punch. The surrounding human races who were playing cards were shocked when they saw that Yan Yingcai, who was still betting heavily before, was beaten to death by his own colleagues separate!

The monsters and ghosts around thought that Ji Xiang lifted the table to teach the human race a lesson, and there was a smile on his face. It depends on the internal strife among the human race. Kill on the spot!

The attack was so ruthless and decisive that the monsters suddenly couldn't laugh.

Ji Xiang clenched his fist with blood dripping from it, looked around and saw several Taoists, all of them were pale at this moment.

"According to the rules of heaven!"

"All dharma masters go to practice the Dharma, the yang acts the yin retribution, and those who are tired of the Dharma."

"Destroy!"
