Candle Dragon to the left

Chapter 768 237. Beyond time, shadows linger

The tea leaves in the glass cup expand when they come into contact with water, and condense into a sea of ​​sal trees in the tea soup.

According to legend, this tree is the dojo tree of the third of the seven Buddhas of the past, Viśvabhu.

It occupies a lot of content in the Buddhist scriptures brought back by Sibu Zhuo Da Ming Wang.

For example, the Great Sutra states: "Viśvabha Buddha attained the highest enlightenment while sitting under the sal tree." The Seven Buddhas' Parents' Names Sutra states: "When Sugyalpa Buddha attained enlightenment, he was under the sal tree." In addition, the sal tree grove outside Kusinagara is the holy place where the Buddha passed away. The sal tree is one of the four sacred trees of Buddhism. The fact that it is reflected in tea at this moment is tantamount to clarifying the source of the supernatural power of the present moment of reincarnation.

The ultimate position of Buddhism.

Li Xi'an took a sip, and the golden veins of the sky in the Taihang Mountains condensed, and the Mingshi Tree appeared, with ripples in the annual rings, covering the mountains. Chu Xing'er was about to reach out to touch the teacup in confusion, but she saw that the entire pavilion began to blur, and the reflection of the lake was full of the dark shadows of the sea of ​​trees, forming a deep vortex that disturbed this piece of time and space.

"Click..."

The crisp sound of the teacup falling on the table echoed in the void.

Li Xian raised his eyes, and what he saw was no longer the Taihang Mountains, but an altar suspended in the long river of time. In the center of the altar stood nine bronze Nuo masks, and the shadows behind each Nuo mask reflected a common picture.

The day when Taixu fell.

The earth was pierced by the branches of the cosmic tree, the Buddhist kingdom sank into the depths of the black tide, and the heaven fell into dunes of bones.

"It seems that everything is ready for the path to unity."

The dark skirt brushed against the black stone of the altar, and a figure walked towards them barefoot on the star sand.

The six paths of reincarnation flow through the pearl tassels hanging from her earlobes and her long hair tied up with a golden hairpin. The most fascinating thing is her eyes, the pupil of her left eye is a reversed "卍" seal, and the right eye has a floating reincarnation wheel.

Li Xian sat there, not surprised by Su Yuelin's new look. Still holding the cup of tea, he swept his dragon tail lightly, throwing the floating stardust away.

"Lixian" is not only Li Xian's test of the Lord of Time, but also Su Yuelin's attempt at the Lord of Samsara. She is trying to see if she can get out of the state of ejaculation and use the power of the Lord to achieve the state of silence and enlightenment. Judging from the appearance of Samsara now, she has obviously succeeded and become the new Lord of Samsara.

"Where are you now?" Li Xian asked without raising his head.

"Too Xu."

"Taixu?"

Su Yuelin walked into the pavilion, put on her black robe and sat in front of the stone table, and filled a cup of tea for herself very skillfully. "It's not the fallen Taixu of the present world, but the Taixu of the ancient times, when the sky was round and the earth was square, and the immortals and Buddhas were prosperous."

At this moment, Li Xian was slightly moved. He understood what it meant for a creature carrying the title of Reincarnation to appear in the ancient times.

"There is only one samsara throne, and two ultimate thrones cannot appear in the same space and time at the same time. In this case... you are the World Honored One?"

Su Yuelin drank tea calmly, with a smile on her rose-red lips. "How is it possible? The Buddha separated the samsara throne and the six paths throne in the beginning of time. I was invited to stand in the void, just as a witness of an era. I must not be contaminated by cause and effect, and I must not take action. I just need to wait for the day when the Holy Spirit destroys the void, and I can regain my freedom. This is a small price to pay for a new reincarnation. So I can only meet you in this way."

After saying that, Su Yuelin glanced calmly at the void behind him. Li Xian squinted his eyes and could vaguely see the outline of a human figure in the void.

"I'm meeting an old friend, do you want to get involved, bald donkey?" Su Yuelin asked softly.

"Amitabha, benefactor, what are you talking about? This person is not only your old friend, but also my old friend." A golden light suddenly lit up in the altar, and a low Sanskrit voice sounded. "Since you don't like it, I will leave now. I just hope you remember not to talk about things that are too imaginary. This is a taboo that will affect the cause and effect."

The golden light dissipated, Su Yuelin retracted his gaze, and said lazily: "The World Honored One has been staring at me all day, maybe he is afraid that the Holy Spirit will find me. This madman has begun to spread the cause and effect of degeneration in Taixu... Let's not talk about Taixu, let's talk about you. You don't look much different in these years. I thought that after Li Xian returned to his position, you would show some characteristics of a noble position like me."

"I am originally a red dragon, no matter how I change, how can I change?"

Su Yuelin stretched out her jade-like finger and tapped Li Xian's forehead. "For example, you can grow an eye here. Didn't I write the Classic of Mountains and Seas? The Candle Dragon with a human head, a dragon body and a single eye in it is the form of the Supreme Lord of Time. But in a sense, you are indeed close to the image of the Candle Dragon now. The golden ghost face symbolizes the human head, and the dragon body symbolizes the dragon body... the only thing missing is an eye."

Su Yuelin's fingertips swirled around Li Xi'an's smooth forehead.

"I saw 'them'." Li Xi'an said suddenly.

"Who?" Su Yuelin retracted his fingertips and asked.

Li Xi'an lowered his eyes, the tea reflecting the dark golden lotus pattern under his eyes, "That night, in Taihang Mountain, the Chengmian came to Taihang as a guest, and toasted the heaven and earth and the people with fine wine. I noticed their arrival, so I toasted them with a glass."

The sea of ​​sal trees in Su Yuelin's eyes was shaking. She lowered her voice and asked, "Are you sure it's 'them'?"

"Those guys originally came back in time, how could I not notice it? Not only me, but also the maggots who were on their way back all noticed something was wrong. Those guys went too far, crossing time to affect our era." Li Xian took out a volume of ancient history from his sleeve. It was this volume of ancient history that showed the maggots the strange scene in the black chess in the cold winter of Taihang. Su Yuelin lowered his head and caught a glimpse of several more obvious figures in the ancient history.

People who hold weapons, people who dance with swords, and people who play the piano.

"I toasted them with a glass of wine and expelled them from this time and space."

"You can actually do it?" Su Yuelin was surprised.

"Why can't I do this? I am the Supreme Lord of Time, and they are the traitors who have gone against time and space."

"But you are not yet. This will anger them, and those guys might retaliate against you." She turned the wheel of reincarnation, revealing a bronze lamp. It was the carrier that Li Xian used to collect the true selves of the Eight Immortals. At this moment, the true spirits were curled up in the lamp flame, and a golden thread was faintly drawn from the back of each of the true spirits, connecting to the depths of darkness.

Li Xi'an could clearly see what the golden thread connected, which symbolized the universe where one of the Eight Immortals had escaped from filth and attained enlightenment.

"Revenge? I know them well, they won't be so petty."

"You have spread the fog of time and space in Taihang Mountain and violently used the power of time and space to merge the nine states of multiple time and space as you unified them. However, with each time the universe was unified, the shadows grew stronger. When you have completely finished this ceremony, the shadows will completely cover the original universe. By then, the cosmic tree will descend, and the Son of God may come with the king of the universe. Can you stop them? What's more, some unexpected situations have occurred. The worlds at the level of the round sky and the square earth have been unified and returned to the beginning, and even future creatures can reach out here."

“This is one of the purposes of my trip.”

"Do you think that doing so will prevent Jiuzhou from following in his footsteps?"

Su Yuelin shook her head slowly, "This is not good."

She picked up a talisman between her fingers, shook it gently, and stuck it on the black stone altar.

The altar began to tremble, and strange visions began to flow out of the black stone slab.

Li Xian saw his own reflection disappearing in it, the roots of the cosmic tree pierced through his reverse scales, the chains of order locked up his spirituality, the red dragon's fangs bared, holding Jiuzhou in its mouth and crashing into the black soil dune, his blood dyed the black mist red.

"Me in reincarnation?" Li Xian pinched the phantom.

"The Ultimate Great Celestial Master of the Immortal Path calculated the cause and effect between you and me, and made a prediction for you. I don't know when this will happen, and what your situation will be, so I sent a dream to Su Long, asking her to send Bodhi tea. I must tell you that this journey to unity is not peaceful. Those ultimates are silent now, but they are waiting for the return of the power of time. The moment you leave the protection of the original universe, the war will begin."

"If your true spirit encounters a crisis on the way to unity, drink the Bodhi tea and I will find a way for you." Su Yuelin sighed, "I left the door of unity in the netherworld just to make it easier for you, but you will always find a more perfect but difficult way to go."

She turned slightly to the side, closed her eyes, pushed aside her drooping hair, and gently left a kiss on Li Xian's forehead.

"You should go now. Remember to think of me."

Su Yuelin smiled, and when she opened her eyes again, the sea of ​​​​Sala trees and the "卍" mark in front of her eyes disappeared, leaving only the magnificent and clear dark purple of the past, reflecting the dazed Dragon King in front of her.

The Bodhi tea lost its effect, and the naked figure in front of the stone table dissipated like tea smoke.

Su Yuelin calculated the timing accurately and did not give Li Xian a chance to react.

She was alone here again.

Samsara slowly stood up, and behind her rose the throne symbolizing Samsara. In an instant, the majesty of the ancient supreme being filled this dark space and time. The altar trembled violently, and the black stone slabs cracked inch by inch. The sound of the great way of Buddhism hummed here. No matter where Samsara appeared, the Buddhas imprinted between heaven and earth must chant for her in unison!

Her eyes were cold and her eyelids slightly drooped as she stared at the three black shadows on the stone table that had not yet turned into smoke.

"Not only do you want to interfere with Nanzhu's return journey, but you also want to interfere with the ancient times?"

Xuan Yi brushed away the black curtain covering the three figures, forcing them to reveal their true identities.

In an instant, the eternal war song tore through the altar and suddenly sounded!

The man with the sword arrived. He was a monarch clad in dark gold armor. He stood up with the blood-red sword in his hand. The collision of the heavy armor instantly drowned out the chanting of the Buddhas. The darkness was crushed, and three pairs of bright eyes hung high in the sky, overlooking the cycle of reincarnation.

The sword dancer arrived. The sword immortal wrapped in frost feather robe stepped on the ice ridges. The long sword in his hand was a severed Milky Way glacier, and every inch of the sword edge was embedded with solidified raindrops.

When the person playing the zither arrived, the divine bird spread its wings. The phoenix-shaped pegs were carved from the skull of Buddha. He lay on the zither with his neck lowered, his eyes filled with purple ghost fire that swallowed up the starlight.

"Nanzhu has united all the nine states and opened the forbidden door. This gap in time and space provides us with the only chance of victory!" The Dark Gold Monarch spoke, his voice as thunderous as thunder.

One more chapter and this volume will be over.

This chapter has a lot of foreshadowing, and I tried my best to write it in a concise manner.
