Bone Taoist

Chapter 616 Ruotuo Mountain, the storm is coming

Who knows the big dream first, I know it all my life.

Life in this world is like a mayfly, and in the end it is all in vain. It is just a more realistic dream, which will eventually be shattered.

Ye Zang dreamed of Kunpeng flying in the North Ming Dynasty, and also dreamed of a phoenix striking the sky, and a real dragon opening the sea.

It was an extremely real dream journey, which lasted for ten generations, but in the end it all turned into nothingness, and I felt like I was lost.

In the last dream, Ye Zang became a mortal, married a wife, had children, and lived an ordinary life.

"Brother Ye, wake up quickly!"

"Donor Ye, you have been dreaming for ten lives. If you continue like this, you will lose yourself."

"Angel Ye Xun, restrain your consciousness and don't get intoxicated."

……

There were endless calls in my ears.

The hazy feeling gradually disappeared, and Ye Zang felt his headache getting worse. His eyes felt as if they had been filled with mercury. He opened his eyes with great difficulty.

Ao Shang, Ji Lanshan, Xuanji and others were surrounding him.

Ye Zang looked around with somewhat dazed eyes. The men and women in front of him looked familiar yet unfamiliar.

His consciousness was gradually recovering, and his memory became clearer. It took half an hour for Ye Zang to recover, breathing heavily, and looking deeply at the Jade Guanyin Buddha statue of Nanhai Shenni.

Ao Shang and others were relieved when they saw that Ye Zang was awake.

"Angel Ye Xun, you scared us." The third princess blinked and said casually.

"Ten lifetimes of dreams come true day and night." Ye Zang shook his head with some self-mockery and said with a smile.

"Brother Ye's talent is astonishing. The first time he heard the Great Dream Sutra, he was able to endure it for ten lifetimes. The young monk admired it." Jing Xing clasped his hands together and said gently.

"I dare to ask you just now, what kind of dream have you experienced?" Ye Zang hesitated for a few breaths and then asked.

The third princess was a little confused and spread her hands and said, "I dreamed that I turned into a butterfly. I fluttered my wings and flew in the sea of ​​flowers for a while, and then I woke up."

"I just had a dream of three lives, mortals, great demons, fairies..." Ji Lanshan frowned.

A group of people immediately started chatting cross-legged.

After experiencing this big dream, they gained a lot, their understanding seemed to have improved, and they felt that the spiritual platform was extremely empty.

Ye Zang clearly felt that his consciousness was much more stable.

In the sea of ​​chaotic consciousness, everything was calm. However, my previous spiritual consciousness had been unstable because of its rapid improvement. It took a lot of time to polish it. This big dream actually saved me a lot of time in cultivating my spiritual consciousness. .

After bidding farewell to the gods and nuns, everyone slowly walked out of the hall, and then they began to speak freely.

"These ancient sutras cannot be practiced unless one's Taoist heart is as solid as a rock. Otherwise, the dreamer will lose himself in several lifetimes and become intoxicated with fantasy dreams." Ji Lanshan said concentrating.

"What Brother Taoist said is true. The Great Dream Ancient Sutra has always been a forbidden book for my Buddhist sect. The nun just recited the first chapter of the sutra," Jing Xing said.

"Since the end of ancient times, for millions of years in Western Continent, only the 'Spirit Mother' has cultivated to perfection." Xuanji said.

"Is that the Buddha Spirit Mother who cultivated clairvoyance?" Ye Zang tilted his head and asked. The 'Heaven Eye', one of the six magical powers of Buddhism, has power that is higher than the Heaven-reaching Dharma Eye, and is a type of 'Heavenly Dharma Eye'.

“Yes.” Sutra", he apostatized and founded the "Lingshe Buddhist Sect" on his own.

This past event is not a secret in Guanyin Temple.

In fact, over the years, many traitors have emerged from Guanyin Temple and Posuo Pure Land. Many of them were suppressed and eliminated, while a small number of them fled to Xijue Continent.

The spiritual energy there is thin, the mountains are high, there are many dangerous places, and there is a mixture of fish and dragons.

There are even many foreign sects that have established branches in Xijue Continent in order to use Xijue Continent as a springboard to penetrate into Xisuo Continent.

……

The next day, Guanyin Temple gradually became lively.

The little nuns carried baskets and picked golden lotuses from the pond to hold a golden lotus ceremony.

The dojo along the coast was bustling with activity.

Many people sat cross-legged on the floor, playing chess or discussing Taoism.

Nuoda's dojo is burning with fragrance.

On a certain small stone table, there were neat tea sets.

Ye Zang and Xuanji were sitting opposite each other. Ye Zang was taking a picture of a blooming golden lotus and making tea himself.

"My Dharma King once said that making tea is very particular. When it boils like the eyes of a fish, it is the first boil. If it makes a slight sound, it is the second boil. It has the edge like a gushing spring with continuous beads. It is the third boil. It is the third boil when it is boiling with waves. "This tea is a bit old, so the heat is very important..." Ye Zang looked at Xuanji with a slight smile.

The latter was a little embarrassed, his bright eyes were slightly lowered, he did not dare to look up at Ye Zang, and his slender hands were holding the sleeves of his robe tightly.

"Is Leader Ye talking about the Dharma King of Inspiration?" Xuanji asked.

"Oh? Master Xuanji also knows the name of the Dharma King I teach?" Ye Zang raised his eyebrows.

"I once went to the Northern Wilderness in the past and had the honor to listen to the lectures given by the King of Inspiration. I really benefited a lot." Xuanji's thin lips moved slightly and her eyes twinkled.

Ye Zang squinted his eyes, listened to her words, and sipped the Golden Lotus tea.

Gulu gulu——

Waves of pure and overbearing spiritual energy wandered in the divine veins, and spiritual energy from all over the world gathered involuntarily. Ye Zang felt comfortable all over.

After taking this sip, his Taoism has improved greatly.

"The Immortal Burial Sea is not a kind place. Master, have you really thought about it clearly?" Ye Zang mentioned the matter of Xuanji at this moment and said with a smile.

"Everything has its own fate, even if it is a dragon's pond or a tiger's den, a poor nun must try his best." Xuanji said firmly with clear eyes.

The ghost caves suppressed by the Immortal Burial Sea are rare treasures for Xuanji, who practices the Golden Lotus to overcome disasters, but they are also very dangerous.

While the two were talking, Ao Shang slowly walked over not far away.

"Brother Ye, what are you talking about with Master Xuanji?" Ao Chang's eyes were slightly curved, with a smile on his face.

Women's thoughts are always delicate. Although Ao Shang is usually carefree, these days, Ye Zang and Xuanji are too close. People in Zhongzhou Taoist people are talking privately, and even Ao Shang is a little concerned about it.

"Princess Ao came at the right time. The tea is just right." Ye Zang smiled and stretched out his hand to invite Ao Shang to sit down.

Xuanji glanced at Ao Shang out of the corner of her eye, lowered her head slightly, pursed her lips and wondered what she was thinking.

……

After a few days, the Golden Lotus Ceremony ended.

Dozens of warrior monks came in, carried out a statue of Guanyin, and joined the procession of sacrifices.

On the vast expanse of the South China Sea, a strange spiritual escape device was docked.

Those were Bodhi leaves, and under Jing Xing's urging, they actually stretched three thousand feet wide.

The emerald green ancient bodhi leaves, the forbidden texture is clearly visible, and the thin clouds and mist are rising, making it extremely misty.

It stopped on the South China Sea and remained motionless. The huge waves did not touch the leaves, and the fish-headed monsters under the deep sea retreated one after another.

"Tsk, tsk, a hundred thousand year spiritual escape device..." Ye Zang squinted his eyes and looked at it.

All the warrior monks shouted loudly. He immediately carried the golden bodies of the Buddha in the Three Halls, the Arhat in the Twelve Halls, and the jade statue of Guanyin and flew away, landing firmly on the ancient Bodhi leaf.

Ye Zang and others followed closely.

"Master Jing Xing, where are we going to the West Jue Continent? Could it be that we have to go around a continent?" Ji Lanshan tilted his head and asked.

"I just went to Ruotuo Mountain, paid homage to Ruotuo Ancient Buddha, and then left there." Jing Xing said with dark eyes.

After returning, it’s time to head to Central Continent.

That's when the highlight will be, because over the years, the Buddha's Birthday Parade has always traveled between Xisuozhou and Xijuezhou, and has never gone to other continents.

This is an attempt by the Pure Land to develop a wider range of believers, and it is also a reason to make friends with the Fengtian Dynasty.

Ye Zang listened to everyone chatting casually, his eyes focused on the Buddha statues in front of him.

"There is such a big procession and sacrifice, and there have been many traitors in the Xisuo Second Sect in recent years. Is there no one to cause trouble? Even if there is an escort, there will always be mistakes."

Ye Zang frowned and looked at the tall Buddha statues with his Dharma eyes.

Ye Zang has been planning these two things since the deal with Nanhai Shenni. It is not difficult to find the old man Zhenyu, but destroying the Buddha statue is very difficult.

Ye Zang didn't want to reveal his identity, so he had to find another way.

Whoosh whoosh—

The ancient Bodhi leaf flew at high speed on the South China Sea, tearing through the waves. The speed was very fast, but it was very stable. The people were not even blown by the sea breeze, because they were all isolated by the magic circle of the escape weapon.

It is indeed a hundred thousand year old spiritual escape device.

It takes less than half a day to cross the South China Sea, which is hundreds of thousands of miles away.

The warrior monks carried the Buddha statue and flew away together, setting foot on the territory of Xijue Continent.

Ye Zang flew away, overlooking the distance from a high altitude.

The mountains are high and smoky.

The ancient and tall mountains stretch endlessly, and the peaks are shrouded in clouds and mist, and big eagles often fly by.

It's a savage scene here.

"The spiritual energy here is really very thin, no wonder it's so inaccessible." The third princess frowned and frowned.

"Most of the people who come here are desperate desperadoes." Ao Shang said, covering his hands.

"I heard that some great religious traditions from other continents also have branches here." Ji Lanshan said casually.

"There are no high-grade spiritual places or rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures here. Why do they send disciples here?" The third princess touched her nose and asked in confusion.

"Third Princess, what do you think?" Elder Lei's family smiled and shook his head, looking at Jing Xing in front of him.

Upon seeing this, the third princess immediately understood.

The procession and sacrificial procession went all the way to the west. In such a barbaric land, there were very few mortals.

After traveling thousands of miles, they came across a small mortal country called the 'Kingdom of Jinpeng'.

It is said to be a kingdom, but the entire country only has a few hundred thousand people in total.

Seeing the procession passing by, the emperor and his people came out one after another and kowtowed nine times devoutly.

Obviously, the mortal country here also believes in Buddha and Guanyin of the West Suo religion.

The long journey leads to Ruotuo Mountain in the center of Xijue Continent.

There, it was the only spiritual place that could be seen in the entire Xijue Continent at that time.

Many monks are in retreat there. Their origins are unknown. Some are traitors to the great religion, and some have offended their enemies.

"This Ruotuo Mountain only stretches for tens of thousands of miles. There are hundreds of power sects on the surface alone, which is extremely confusing." Xuanji pinched the Buddhist beads and said to Ye Zang and others.

"In that case, why don't you send someone to clean up these sects' orthodoxy?" Ye Zang raised his eyebrows and asked following the voice.

"Although the powerful sects in Ruotuo Mountain are constantly fighting internally, they are unanimous in dealing with the outside world. Together, they are a considerable force. Even if our sect comes from hundreds of thousands of miles away, we will eliminate all their evil in a few years. Many new forces will gather together, and the wild fire will not burn out, and the spring breeze will blow again..." Xuanji said helplessly.

It's obviously not worth it to mobilize troops and mobilize people like this just for a small piece of spiritual land.

"So, we, the Xisuo Second Sect, have reached an agreement with the forces there. The highest peak of Ruotuo Mountain, which is the stone peak with the 'Ruotuo Ancient Buddha' engraved on it, belongs to the second sect. They are not allowed to enter without permission on weekdays. Our Second Religion will not seek bad luck with them." Jing Xing turned around and said calmly.

On the ancient jungle road, wolves roar and tigers roar.

The mottled veins are full of traces of time.

At dusk, the sacrificial procession finally arrived at the entrance of Ruotuo Mountain.

Not far away, the mountains stretched out endlessly, and you could vaguely see the densely packed buildings and figures in the mountains. The lights were bright and there was constant noise.

Ruotuo Mountain is only 50,000 miles away, but there are hundreds of Taoist sects standing there. You must know that Tianheng Mountain, which was 100,000 miles away, was only 21 caves. It can be seen how crowded this place is. There are almost a few feet apart. There is a palace building.

On the ancient road, there is a huge stone tablet with the four characters "Ruotuo Mountain Range" engraved on it.

Buzz!
The procession stopped in front of the stone monument, and the monk struck the bell three times.

The astonishing bells soared into the sky, startling countless birds and eagles, and echoed in Ruotuo Mountain. It seemed to announce to everyone that Xisuo's Buddha's birthday parade was coming.

In an instant, many figures rose into the sky from the mountains, looking at the parade outside with different expressions.

The golden Buddha statues and jade Guanyin are each hundreds of feet high, pouring out the Buddha's light, breaking through the darkness and illuminating everything outside.

"It's the parade on Buddha's birthday..."

"Haha, finally here!"

"Now we have a good show. I wonder what these bald donkeys will do."

"That was done by a true disciple of the Jackdaw God Sect."

"The sky is high and the emperor is far away. A powerful dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake. Even if it is the Jackdaw Cult, what can it do?"

……

In Ruotuo Mountain, many monks watched the procession coming in. The expressions on their faces were very exciting and they were talking a lot.

Jing Xing raised his eyes and frowned slightly.

Ye Zang and the others also felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere.

Just as he was thinking about it, several practitioners flew in from the front.

Judging from their clothes, they seem to be from the 'Tibetan cultivator' lineage. The Tibetan cultivator can be considered an orthodox Buddhist tradition. Their ancestor is said to be a disciple of the 'Ruotuo Ancient Buddha'.

After the ancient Buddha Ruotuo became enthroned, Master Nazang Xiu founded the sect and left a legacy in Xijuezhou.

But he didn't expect that after endless years, Xijuezhou would decline to such an extent.

"Master Jing Xing, you are finally here." The leader Zang Xiu said hurriedly with a very frightened expression on his face.

"Junior Brother Yuanzhen, why are you so grand?" Jing Xing frowned and asked calmly.

"The statues of the ancient Ruo Tuo Buddha were completely destroyed, and the mountain peaks were leveled!" Yuan Zhen gasped.
