The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 453
"Is the headless Wei Tuo outside the mountain gate your real body?"

Even though Pei Wende didn't know what happened to Wei Tuo, the separation of his body and head was an indisputable fact.

"Fake, you want to know too much!"

The girl did not answer Pei Wende's question directly.

Or to be more precise, she no longer wanted to answer any of the other's questions.

Ever since the girl recovered her memories of Wei Tuo period, she has developed a natural disgust towards this guy pretending to be "Dan Chenzi".

You know, in the battle 18 years ago, Dan Chenzi didn't really leave.

On the contrary, the incarnation of Dan Chenzi chose to step into the Ciguang Temple again at the moment when the old monk and the demon Buddha were competing for the sovereignty of the body.

Later, with the help of Dan Chenzi, the Demon Buddha who was about to appear in this world was forced to reincarnate, waiting for the next reincarnation.

............................................................................................................

Time goes back to that day decades ago, the moment before Mo Buddha was about to appear in this world.

"Did that old monk finally choose this path?"

Standing at the gate of the mountain, Dan Chenzi looked at the ruined Ciguang Temple and sighed in a tone of envy or helplessness.

Although that foolish old monk wasted the first half of his life, he finally achieved glory once at the last moment of his life.

Dan Chenzi knew that it didn't matter whether the Demon Buddha would cause disasters in the world in the future.

The important thing is that the old monk himself has worked hard for a specific "goal" for the first time in his life, and he has succeeded.

This is the greatest comfort to the old monk who has failed all his life.

He was finally able to straighten his chest and regain his lost dignity and self-confidence little by little.

As for preventing the Demon Buddha from appearing in the world?

That's just the old monk setting a goal in order to "realize his own value".

This is the same as Dan Chenzi concentrated all his hatred on Zen Master Lingyou in order to get rid of the pain of the decline of the incarnation lineage.

For this kind of lonely and paranoid people, they don't care about other people's praise or criticism, they just want a goal that can whip themselves to work hard.

Be it hatred or salvation...

It doesn't matter to them, they just do what they think is right.

"Since the old monk is dead, you, as the only 'witnesses' of this battle, remember his sacrifice for the world!"

Gently stroking the only remaining statue of Wei Tuo at the gate of the mountain, Dan Chenzi's words revealed the sadness that only he himself could understand.

As the statues that had been consecrated by the old monk and gathered most of the incense and vows of the Ciguang Temple, the two Wei Tuo statues outside the mountain gate naturally also participated in that battle.

It's a pity, even with the blessing of the power of faith in the incense of Ciguang Temple.

After all, the two clay statues of Wei Tuo who manifested were not spared from the attack of the demon Buddha.

One of the statues of Wei Tuo was directly wiped out of its own existence by the magic Buddha with the method of "reversing the Buddha and becoming a demon", leaving only a trace of the original body wandering around the Ciguang Temple.

As for the remaining statue of Veda?

Thanks to Dan Chenzi's timely rescue, it was only decapitated by the aftermath of the battle, but its body was preserved.

Generally speaking, the idols in temples and Taoist temples are naturally spiritual because they have been incensed by humans all the year round, and they are more likely to become "monsters" than other things.

The so-called "consecration" of Taoism and Buddhism is actually the artificial activation of this kind of spirituality.

Let these statues temporarily become carriers of some kind of power of heaven and earth, so as to exert abilities that ordinary clay sculptures do not have.

But there is a limit to this kind of activation. Even if the old monk guides all the incense and vows accumulated in the Ciguang Temple for decades into the statues of Wei Tuo, they will not be able to become real monsters.

And Dan Chenzi doesn't need such a "dead thing", what he needs is a "living thing" that can really remember this battle and pass it on for a long time.

——Essentials of Peace and Psychic Mantra!

This was originally one of the secret arts of the Five Dou Rice Sect created by Zhang Jiao at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

After being obtained by Dan Chenzi by chance, it was integrated with other sects' secret methods such as asking God to possess one's body, spreading beans into soldiers, Liujia secret spell, Tongxuan manifesting, etc., and became a brand new spell.

Compared with other kinds of consecrations that are eager for quick success and quick benefits, this special "psychic spell" is Dan Chenzi under the guise of the gods and Buddhas of the heavens, endowing clay idols with real spiritual wisdom, so that they can be completed in just a few years. Metamorphosis.

Naturally, the monster born in this way is no longer a dead thing, but a living thing with real wisdom and life, and it is an existence that can pass on the deeds of the old monk.

The "birth" of the girl undoubtedly proves this point.

In fact, this is why the girl is very familiar with the name "Dan Chenzi".

Because it itself is a "monster" created by Dan Chenzi.

The only difference from Pei Wende's guess was that the girl was not transformed by the headless Wei Tuo at the door, but the aura of Wei Tuo entrenched in the temple.

............................................................................................................

I don't know when it started, the aura that has been entrenched in the temple all year round realized the "self", realized "life", and realized "this world"-the Buddha and demon were born.

Just like a newborn baby opened its eyes to see the world for the first time, the Buddha demon really woke up from that day on, and silently watched and influenced everything that happened in Ciguang Temple.

The Buddha demon saw those practitioners who came to the Ciguang Temple after chasing the remnants of the Demon Buddha...

So in order to ensure the tranquility of Ciguang Temple, it began to consciously use illusion to mislead those outsiders.

The Buddha Demon also saw a certain girl coming, and saw that she accidentally found the rosary left by the Demon Buddha...

So in order to prevent the girl from becoming the host of the demon Buddha, it guided Ah Jue to find the Zen stick that restrains the rosary.

The Buddha demon also saw that the number of children in the temple gradually increased, and the Ciguang Temple gradually became lively...

So in order to relieve his own loneliness, it transformed into the image of "girl", frequently coming and going in and out of children's dreams.

In the same way, the Buddha demon even saw the appearance of those refugees in the end...

But this time, the Buddha demon, who was just a spiritual fetus, couldn't prevent the tragedy from happening. He could only watch the tragic death of children, the disappearance of girls, and Ah Jue's infatuation.

"If only I had done this sooner..."

Slamming her fists at Pei Wende again and again, the girl choked silently with grief, as if everything had returned to the night when the tragedy happened.

"If I had abandoned the 'clay body' earlier, everything in the Ciguang Temple would not have happened!"

Although the other party didn't roar hoarsely, Pei Wende seemed to see the appearance of Wei Tuo who was weeping, slowly manifesting behind the girl.

"As the incarnation of a god, but useless..."

"Enjoy the incense of the world but be greedy for life and afraid of death..."

"Seeing the appearance of evil spirits but being powerless..."

This voice of questioning is not only the girl's own remorse, but also her refutation of this world full of malice.

"What is the use of worshiping such a 'god of clay sculpture'?!"
